Sura 78
Aya 37
37
رَبِّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُمَا الرَّحمٰنِ ۖ لا يَملِكونَ مِنهُ خِطابًا

Yusuf Ali

(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (God) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.1
  • No one has the right or the power to argue with God about the Gifts which He may bestow on His devotees beyond their deserts, (verse 36 above) or about the Penalty which His justice may inflict for sin or wrongdoing. He is high above all Creation. But He is also Most Gracious. Therefore He may permit special Dignitaries, of honour in His eyes, to plead for sinners, but they will only plead in truth and righteousness: see verse 38 below.
