71 Preface وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الحَقُّ أَهواءَهُم لَفَسَدَتِ السَّماواتُ وَالأَرضُ وَمَن فيهِنَّ ۚ بَل أَتَيناهُم بِذِكرِهِم فَهُم عَن ذِكرِهِم مُعرِضونَYusuf AliIf the Truth had been in accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the earth, and all beings therein would have been in confusion1 and corruption! Nay, We have sent them their admonition, but they turn away from their admonition.God is All-Wise and All-Good, and His architecture of the universe is on a perfect Plan. If these poor, low, selfish, ignorant creatures were to plan it according to their hearts’ desires, it would be a dreadful world, full of confusion and corruption.
