Surah 82. Al-Infitar, Ayah 19
| يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ |
| Transliteration | : | yawm laa tamlik nafs li- nafs shay'(an) wa- al- 'amr yawma'idhin li- 'allaah |
| Pickthall | : | A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's. |
| Asad | : | [It will be] a Day when no human being shall be of the least avail to another human being: for on that Day [it will become manifest that] all sovereignty is God's alone. |
| Malik | : | It will be the Day when no one shall have the power to do anything for another: for, on that Day, Allah shall keep the entire command to Himself. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | (It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: for the Command that Day will be (wholly) with Allah. 6010 |
Note - 6010The answer is suggested by a negative proposition: 'No
soul shall have power to do aught for another'. This is
full of meaning. Personal responsibility will be fully
enforced. In this world we all depend on one another
proximately, though our ultimate dependence is always on
Allah, now and for ever. But here a father helps a son
forward; husband and wife influence each other's
destinies; human laws and institutions may hold large
masses of mankind under their grip; falsehood and evil
may seem to flourish for a time, because a certain amount
of limited free-will has been granted to man. This period
will be all over then. The good and the pure will have
been separated from the evil and the rebellious; the
latter will have been rendered inert, and the former will
have been so perfected that their wills will be in
complete consonance with Allah's Universal Will. The
Command, thence forward, will be wholly with Allah.
