Aya 43
43
يا أَبَتِ إِنّي قَد جاءَني مِنَ العِلمِ ما لَم يَأتِكَ فَاتَّبِعني أَهدِكَ صِراطًا سَوِيًّا

Yusuf Ali

“O my father! to me hath come knowledge which hath not reached thee:1 so follow me: I will guide thee to a way that is even and straight.2
  • Some are more receptive to Light than others. It is their duty and privilege to guide and point to the right Way.
  • Sawiyan ?right, smooth, even; complete, perfect; hence the derived meanings; in 19:10, 'in full possession of all the physical senses'; in that context, 'not dumb': in 19:17, when the angel appears in the form of a man, 'completely like' a man, a man 'in all respects.'
