Tâ Hâ
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[20:72]
They answered: "Never shall we prefer thee to all the evidence of the truth that has come unto us, nor to Him who has brought us into being! Decree, then, whatever thou art going to decree: thou canst decree only [something that pertains to] this worldly life!


* v.72 : Or: “thou canst end [for us] only this worldly life.” It is to be noted that the verb qadā signifies, among other meanings, “he decreed” as well as “he ended [something].”
