Sura 39
Aya 10
10
قُل يا عِبادِ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقوا رَبَّكُم ۚ لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنوا في هٰذِهِ الدُّنيا حَسَنَةٌ ۗ وَأَرضُ اللَّهِ واسِعَةٌ ۗ إِنَّما يُوَفَّى الصّابِرونَ أَجرَهُم بِغَيرِ حِسابٍ

Muhammad Asad

Say: "[Thus speaks God:1] "O you servants of Mine who have attained to faith! Be conscious of your Sustainer! Ultimate good awaits those who persevere in doing good in this world. And [remember:] wide is God's earth,2 [and,] verily, they who are patient in adversity will be given their reward in full, beyond all reckoning!"'
  • This interpolation is justified by the fact that the possessive pronoun in the subsequent phrase "servants of Mine" obviously relates to God.
  • I.e., there is always a possibility of doing good and "migrating from evil unto God" - which is the permanent, spiritual connotation of the concept of hijrah implied here: see note 124 on 4:97.
