76 Preface يَعلَمُ ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم ۗ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرجَعُ الأُمورُYusuf AliHe knows what is before them and what is behind them: and to God go back all questions (for decision).1Time, before or behind, may be of some importance to men. They may dispute as to what was the first Message, and what is the last Message. To God this question of priority and posteriority is of no consequence. All questions go back ultimately to him and are judged on their merits.
