Surah 74. Al-Muddaththir, Ayah 56
| وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- maa yadhkuron 'illaa 'an yashaa' 'allaah huwa 'ahl at- taqwaa wa- 'ahl al- maghfirah |
| Pickthall | : | And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. |
| Asad | : | But they [who do not believe in the life to come] will not take it to heart unless God so wills:30 [for] He is the Fount of all God-consciousness, and the Fount of all forgiveness. |
| Malik | : | But none takes heed except by the will of Allah. He Alone is worthy to be feared and He Alone is worthy to forgive those who fear Him. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness and the Lord of Forgiveness. 5808 |
Note - 30Namely, unless He bestows His grace on them by making
their minds and hearts receptive to the truth, so that
they are compelled - from within themselves, as it were -
to make the right choice. (See also note [11] on
{81:28-29}, as well as note [4] on 14:4.)

Note - 5808Righteousness as well as Forgiveness have their source in
Allah's Will. Man's Righteousness has no meaning except
in relation to the universal Will. For Taqwa see n. 26 to
ii. 2. If we take the word here in the sense of "the fear
of Allah", the translation would be: "He alone is worthy
to be feared, and He alone is entitled to grant
Forgiveness."
