Sura 23
Aya 85
85
سَيَقولونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُل أَفَلا تَذَكَّرونَ

Yusuf Ali

They will say, “To God.” say: “Yet will ye not receive admonition?”1
  • If their argument is that such things about a future life cannot be known or proved, they are referred to the things which are actually before them. The tangible things of the earth-can they postulate their order or government except by a Power of Force or Energy outside them? They will admit that there is such a Power or Force or Energy, We call it God. Go a step further. We see a sublime Universe in the heavens above, stretching far, far beyond our ken. They will admit its existence and its grandeur. We ask them to entertain a feeling of reverence for the Power behind it, and to understand their own littleness and their dependence upon that Power (Cf. 29:61 and 31:25).
