Surah 61. As-Saff, Ayah 9
| هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | huwa 'alladhe arsala rasol -hi bi- al- hudaa wa- den al- h.aqq li- yuz.hir -hu calaa ad- den kull -hi wa- law kariha al- mushrikon |
| Pickthall | : | He it is who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse. |
| Asad | : | He it is who has sent forth His Apostle with [the task of] spreading guidance and the religion of truth, to the end that He make it prevail over all [false] religion,10 however hateful this may be to those who ascribe divinity to aught but God. |
| Malik | : | It is He Who has sent His Rasool with the guidance and the religion of truth so that he may proclaim it over all religions, much as the Mushrikin may dislike it. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | It is He Who has sent His Apostle with Guidance and the Religion of Truth that he may proclaim it over all religion even though the Pagans may detest (it). 5442 |
Note - 10Cf 3:19 - "the only [true] religion in the sight of God
is [man's] self-surrender unto Him".

Note - 5442"Over all religion": in the singular: not over all other
religions, in the plural. There is really only one true
Religion, the Message of Allah submission to the Will of
Allah: this is called Islam. It was the religion preached
by Moses and Jesus; it was the religion of Abraham, Noah,
and all the prophets, by whatever name it may be called.
If people corrupt that pure light, and call their
religions by different names, we must bear with them, and
we may allow the names for convenience. But Truth must
prevail over all. See also ix. 33, n. 1290, and lxviii.
28, n. 4912.
