60 Preface لِلَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوءِ ۖ وَلِلَّهِ المَثَلُ الأَعلىٰ ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُYusuf AliTo those who believe not in the Hereafter, applies the similitude of evil: to God applies the highest1 similitude: for He is the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.The word mathal ordinarily denotes a similitude, but in the context of the present verse, especially with reference to God, it signifies His sublime attributes rather than a similitude. Cf. 30:27. (Eds.).
