Asad | God is He save whom there is no deity: the Sovereign Supreme, the Holy, the One with whom all salvation rests, [Lit., "the Salvation" (as-salam): see note on 5:16.] the Giver of Faith, the One who determines what is true and false, [For this rendering of muhaymin, see 5:48 - where this term is applied to the Quran - and the corresponding note.] the Almighty, the One who subdues wrong and restores right, the One to whom all greatness belongs! [Since the verb jabara - from which the noun jabbar is derived - combines the concepts of "setting right" or "restoring" (e.g., from a state of brokenness, ill-health, or misfortune) and of "compelling" or "subduing (someone or something) to one's will", I believe that the term al-jabbar, when applied to God, is best rendered as above.] Utterly remote is God, in His limitless glory, from anything to which men may ascribe a share in His divinity! |
