Surah 50. Qaf, Ayah 29
| مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ |
| Transliteration | : | maa yubaddal al- qawl laday -ya wa- maa 'anaa bi- z.allaam li- al- cabed |
| Pickthall | : | The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves. |
| Asad | : | The judgment passed by Me shall not be altered; but never do I do the least wrong unto My creatures!" |
| Malik | : | My words cannot be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "The Word changes not before Me and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." 4966 |
Note - 4966"'Abd" has two plurals: (1) 'Abid, as here, means all
Servants of Allah, i.e., all his creatures; (2) 'Ibad has
the further connotation of Servants of Allah, devoted to
his service; I have translated it in many cases by the
word "devotees". The Sentence before the Judgment-Seat is
pronounced with perfect justice; it does not change, and
requires no change; the inevitable consequences of sin
must follow; the time for Mercy is past.
