Surah 9. At-Tauba, Ayah 33
| هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | huwa 'alladhe arsala rasol -hu 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 cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the 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 may cause it to prevail over all [false] religion50 - however hateful this may be to those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God. |
| Malik | : | It is He Who has sent His Rasool with guidance and true Deen (faith) to make it prevail over all other deens (faiths) even though the mushrikin may hate it. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | It is He who hath sent His apostle with guidance and religion of truth to proclaim it over all religions even though the pagans may detest (it). 1290 |

8-9}.

Note - 1290Every religion which commends itself widely to human
beings and lasts through some space of time has a glimpse
of Truth in it. But Islam being the perfect light of
Truth is bound to prevail. As the greater Light, through
its own strength, outshines all lesser lights, so will
Islam outshine all else, in spite of the displeasure of
those to whom light is an offence. See also xlviii. 28,
n. 4912, and lxi. 9, n. 5442.
