Sura 34
Aya 49
49
قُل جاءَ الحَقُّ وَما يُبدِئُ الباطِلُ وَما يُعيدُ

Muhammad Asad

Say: "The truth has now come [to light, and falsehood is bound to wither away1]: for, falsehood cannot bring forth anything new, nor can it bring back [what has passed away]."2
  • Cf. 17:81.
  • I.e., in contrast to the creativeness inherent in every true idea, falsehood - being in itself an illusion - cannot really create anything or revive any values that may have been alive in the past.
