Sura 74
Aya 56
56
وَما يَذكُرونَ إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهلُ التَّقوىٰ وَأَهلُ المَغفِرَةِ

Yusuf Ali

But none will keep it in remembrance except as God wills: He1 is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
  • Righteousness as well as Forgiveness have their source in God’s Will. Man’s Righteousness has no meaning except in relation to the Universal Will. For Taqwā see n. 26 to 2:2. If we take the word here in the sense of “the fear of God”, the translation would be: “He alone is worthy to be feared, and He alone is entitled to grant Forgiveness.”
