6. Sura al-Anam

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:



قُلْ إِنِّي عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَكَذَّبْتُم بِهِ...

6: 57. Say:

"For me, I (work) on a clear Sign from my Lord, but ye reject Him.

...مَا عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ...

What ye would see hastened is not in my power.

C877. What ye would see hastened: what ye, deniers of God, are so impatient about: the punishment which ye mockingly say does not come to you.

Cf. 13:6.

...إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ يَقُصُّ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْفَاصِلِينَ ﴿٥٧﴾

The Command rests with none but Allah:

He declares the truth, and He is the best of Judges."


Asad’s Version:

Judge Not Others


6: 57 Say: “Behold, I take my stand on a clear evidence from my Sustainer – and [so] it is to Him that you are giving the lie! Not in my power is that which [in your ignorance] you so hastily demand: judgment rests with none but God. He shall declare the truth, since it is He who is the best judge between truth and falsehood.”
