69 Preface ما كانَ لِيَ مِن عِلمٍ بِالمَلَإِ الأَعلىٰ إِذ يَختَصِمونَYusuf Ali“No knowledge have I of the Chiefs on high, when they discuss (matters) among themselves.1The hierarchy in Heaven, under God’s command, discuss questions of high import in the Universe. Those are not necessarily revealed to men, except insofar as it is good for men to know, as in verses 71-85 below. But the chief thing for man is to know that God is Most Merciful, that He forgives again and again, and that Evil has no power over those who trust in God.
