63 Preface قالَ يا قَومِ أَرَأَيتُم إِن كُنتُ عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِن رَبّي وَآتاني مِنهُ رَحمَةً فَمَن يَنصُرُني مِنَ اللَّهِ إِن عَصَيتُهُ ۖ فَما تَزيدونَني غَيرَ تَخسيرٍYusuf AliHe said: “O my people! do ye see? if I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord and He hath sent Mercy unto me from Himself,- who1 then can help me against God if I were to disobey Him? What then would ye add to my (portion) but perdition?“God has been good to me and bestowed on me His light and the inestimable privilege of carrying His mission to you. Don’t you see that if I fail to carry out His mission, I shall have to answer before Him? Who can help me in that case? The only thing which you can add to my misfortunes would be total perdition in the spiritual world.” Cf. 11:28.
