Sura 28
Aya 68
68
وَرَبُّكَ يَخلُقُ ما يَشاءُ وَيَختارُ ۗ ما كانَ لَهُمُ الخِيَرَةُ ۚ سُبحانَ اللَّهِ وَتَعالىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

Yusuf Ali

Thy Lord does create and choose as He pleases:1 no choice have they (in the matter): Glory to God. and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!
  • As He pleases: according to His own Will and Plan. God is not dependent on other people for advice or help. He has no partners. All creation is an act of His Will, and no one can direct Him how or why certain things should be, because He is supreme in wisdom and knowledge. He chooses His messengers also by His own unfettered choice. Inspiration or spiritual knowledge and dignity cannot be judged by our relative or temporary standards. Worldly greatness or even wisdom do not necessarily go with spiritual insight.
