7 Preface إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُهتَدينَYusuf AliVerily it is thy Lord that knoweth best, which (among men) hath strayed from His Path: and He knoweth best1 those who receive (true) Guidance.Men set up false standards of judgment. The right standard is that of God. For His Knowledge is complete and all-embracing; He reads hidden motives as well as things that appear before men’s sight; and He knows the past history in which the roots of present actions are embedded, as well as the future consequences of present actions.
