Surah 54. Al-Qamar, Ayah 44
| أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُنْتَصِرٌ |
| Transliteration | : | 'am yaqolon nah.nu jamec muntas.ir |
| Pickthall | : | Or say they: We are a host victorious? |
| Asad | : | Or do they say, "We are a group united, [and therefore] bound to prevail"?25 |
| Malik | : | Or, do they say: "Acting together, we can defend ourselves?" |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"? |
Note - 25The reasoning which underlies this thought may be summed
up thus: "We who reject these so-called divine
revelations represent a very large body of opinion; and
because our views are held by so many, they are obviously
right and, therefore, bound to triumph in the end." In
other words, the people characterized as "deniers of the
truth" draw their assurance from the mere fact of their
being representative of the "majority opinion" - a
self-delusion based on a purely materialistic outlook on
life.
