Sura 39
Aya 75
75
وَتَرَى المَلائِكَةَ حافّينَ مِن حَولِ العَرشِ يُسَبِّحونَ بِحَمدِ رَبِّهِم ۖ وَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم بِالحَقِّ وَقيلَ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

Muhammad Asad

And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the throne of [God's] almightiness,1 extolling their Sustainer's glory and praise. And judgment will have been passed in justice on all [who had lived and died], and the word will be spoken:2 "All praise is due to God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!"
  • Whenever the term al-'arsh ("the throne [of God]") occurs in the Qur'an, tt is used as a metaphor for His absolute dominion over all that exists: hence my rendering, "the throne of [God's] almightiness". (See also 7:54 and the corresponding note 43.) The mention of the "angels surrounding" it has, obviously, a metaphorical meaning: see note 4 on 40:7
  • Lit., "it will be said"
