Sura 38
Aya 7
7
ما سَمِعنا بِهٰذا فِي المِلَّةِ الآخِرَةِ إِن هٰذا إِلَّا اختِلاقٌ

Muhammad Asad

Never did we hear of [a claim like] this in any faith of latter days!1 It is nothing but [a mortal man's] invention!
  • I.e., "in any of the faiths prevalent in our days": an oblique reference to Christianity and its dogma of the Trinity, which contrasts with the Qur'anic concept of God's oneness and uniqueness, as well as to any other faith based on the belief in a multiplicity or multiform incarnation of divine powers (e.g., Hinduism with its triad of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva).
