Sura 40
Aya 15
15
رَفيعُ الدَّرَجاتِ ذُو العَرشِ يُلقِي الرّوحَ مِن أَمرِهِ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ لِيُنذِرَ يَومَ التَّلاقِ

Muhammad Asad

High above all orders [of being] is He, in almightiness enthroned.1 By His Own will does He bestow inspiration upon whomever He wills of His servants, so as to warn [all human beings of the coming] of the Day when they shall meet Him2 -
  • Lit., "He of the throne of almightiness". For the meaning of the term carsh, see note 43 on 7:54.
  • Lit., "the Day of the Meeting". - For my rendering of ar-ruh as "inspiration", see note 2 on 16:2, as well as note 71 on 2:87.
