Surah 62. Al-Jamu'a, Ayah 4
| ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ |
| Transliteration | : | dhaalika fad.l 'allaah yu'te -hi man yashaa' wa- 'allaah dho al- fad.l al- caz.em |
| Pickthall | : | That is the bounty of Allah; which he giveth unto whom he will. Allah is of infinite bounty. |
| Asad | : | Such is God's bounty: He grants it to anyone who is willing [to receive it]:3 for God is limitless in His great bounty. |
| Malik | : | That is the grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom pleases. Allah is the Lord of mighty grace. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Such is the Bounty of Allah which He bestows on whom He will: and Allah is the Lord of the highest bounty. 5456 |
Note - 3Or: "He grants it unto whomever He wills". Both these
formulations are syntactically correct; but since the
bounty of God referred to in this passage relates to the
divine guidance granted to man through the medium of the
revelation bestowed upon God's Apostle, the construction
chosen by me seems to be more appropriate, expressing as
it does the idea that the bounty of God's guidance is
always available to one who sincerely desires it.

Note - 5456That is, according to His wise Will and Plan, and also as
a result of His unbounded generosity to all.
