Aya 39
39
يا صاحِبَيِ السِّجنِ أَأَربابٌ مُتَفَرِّقونَ خَيرٌ أَمِ اللَّهُ الواحِدُ القَهّارُ

Yusuf Ali

“O my two companions1 of the prison! (I ask you): are many lords differing among themselves better, or the One God, Supreme and Irresistible?
  • Note the personal touch again. 'Are we not also companions in misfortune? And may I not speak to you on terms of perfect equality?as one prisoner to another? Well then, do you really think a conflict of heterogeneous gods is better than God, the One (and Only), Whose power is Supreme and Irresistible?” (R).
