82وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ وَلَو كَرِهَ المُجرِمونَMuhammad Asadwhereas by His words God proves the truth to be true,1 however hateful this may be to those who are lost in sin!"By "God's words" is meant here His creative will, manifested in the laws of nature instituted by Him as well as in the revelations granted by Him to His prophets (Manor XI, 468). A similar phrase occurs also in 8:7 and 42:24.
