Allah is the Almighty, the All-Wise. ### Progressive Muslims Similarly, inspiring you and those before you, is God, the Noble, the Wise. ### Shabbir Ahmed Thus it is: Revealing to you (O Prophet) as He did to those before you, is Allah, the Almighty, the Wise. ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation Thus reveals to thee, and to those before thee, God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation Similarly, inspiring you and those before you, is God, the Noble, the Wise. ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament Inspiring you, and those before you, is GOD, the Almighty, Most Wise. ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira So has God, all-mighty and all-wise, been revealing to you and to others before you. ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muúammad], and to those before you - Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. ### Muhammad Asad THUS has God, the Almighty, the Wise, revealed [the truth] unto thee, [O Muhammad,] and unto those who preceded thee: ### Marmaduke Pickthall Thus Allah the Mighty, the Knower inspireth thee (Muhammad) as (He inspired) those before thee. ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary Thus does Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Wise reveal to you even as (He revealed) to those (Messengers) who preceded you.[1] _Footnotes_ - [1] The style of the opening verses by itself shows that in the background there are the misgivings, wonder and amazement which were being expressed at that time in every assembly, every meeting place, every street and every house and shop of Makkah at the message of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the themes of the Quran. The people said; Where is this man bringing from new revelations to us every day? The like of these we have never heard nor seen before. How strange that he rejects as false the religion that our forefathers have been following in the past, the religion that is still being followed by all of us, and the traditions and ways that have been prevalent in the country for so many centuries; and he says that the religion that he presents only is right and true. They said: Had he presented even this new religion in a way as to substitute some of the falsehood he found in the ancestral paganism and prevalent customs with certain others which might be the result of his own thought, there could be a dialogue with him. But he says that what he recites is divine Word. How can we accept this? Does God visit him, or does he visit God? Or does some dialogue take place between him and God? It is in the background of such expression of wonder and doubt that although the address is apparently directed to the Prophet (peace be upon him), the disbelievers have in fact been told: Yes, these very things are being revealed by the All-Mighty, the All-Wise Allah, and with the same themes has its revelation been coming down to all the former Prophets. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab In like manner does Allah inspire to you O Muhammad, even as He inspired to those sent before you His veritable revelations and disclosure of knowledge, precepts and injunctions. Thus Say Allah AL-Aziz (the Almighty), and AL-Hakim (the source of wisdom and wise mysterious dispensations.) ### Bijan Moeinian Hereby the Almighty and the Most Wise reveals His revelations to you (Mohammad) the same way that He revealed His revelations to the prophets before you. ### Al-Hilali & Khan Likewise Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise sends Revelation to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) as (He sent Revelation to) those before you.[1] ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali Thus doth (He) send inspiration to thee as (He did) to those before thee,- Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran And so you ˹O Prophet˺ are sent revelation, just like those before you, by Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise. ### Taqi Usmani This is how Allah, the Mighty, the Wise, sends revelation to you and to those who were before you. ### Abdul Haleem This is how God, the Mighty, the Wise, sends revelation to you [Prophet] as He did to those before you. ### Arthur John Arberry So reveals to thee, and to those before thee, God, the All-mighty, the All-wise. ### E.
