Aya 21
21
سابِقوا إِلىٰ مَغفِرَةٍ مِن رَبِّكُم وَجَنَّةٍ عَرضُها كَعَرضِ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ أُعِدَّت لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ يُؤتيهِ مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الفَضلِ العَظيمِ

Yusuf Ali

Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth,1 prepared for those who believe in God and His messengers: that is the Grace of God, which He bestows on whom2 he pleases: and God is the Lord of Grace abounding.
  • Cf. 3:133, and n. 452.
  • Bestows on whom He Pleases: that is, such grace and favour is beyond anyone’s own merits. It is bestowed by God according to His Holy Will and Plan, which is just, merciful, and righteous.
