Sura 3
Aya 83
83
أَفَغَيرَ دينِ اللَّهِ يَبغونَ وَلَهُ أَسلَمَ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ طَوعًا وَكَرهًا وَإِلَيهِ يُرجَعونَ

Yusuf Ali

Do they seek for other than the Religion of God.- while all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling1, bowed to His Will (Accepted Islam), and to Him shall they all be brought back.
  • God’s Truth is manifest, and all that is good and true and sane and normal accepts it with joy. But even where there is “disease in the heart” (2:10), or judgment is obscured by perversity, every creature must eventually see and acknowledge God and His power (2:167), Cf. R. Bridges: “Testament of Beauty”: 4:1419-22 -"For God’s love is unescapable as nature’s environment, which if a man ignore or think to thrust it off, he is the ill-natured fool that runneth blindly on death.” All Nature adores God, and Islam asks for nothing peculiar or sectarian; it but asks that we follow our nature and make our will conformable to God’s Will as seen in Nature, history, and revelation. Its message is universal.
