42قُل مَن يَكلَؤُكُم بِاللَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ مِنَ الرَّحمٰنِ ۗ بَل هُم عَن ذِكرِ رَبِّهِم مُعرِضونَMuhammad AsadSay: "Who could protect you, by night or by day, from the Most Gracious?"1And yet, from a remembrance of their Sustainer do they stubbornly turn away!The reference to God, in this context, as "the Most Gracious" (ar-rahman) is meant to bring out the fact that He - and He alone - is the protector of all creation.
