Sura: 6 - al-An`aam (The Cattle) Ayat: 165 وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَائِفَ الْأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَا آتَاكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (165
وہی وہ خدا ہے جس نے تم کو زمین میں نائب بنایا اور بعض کے درجات کو بعض سے بلند کیا تاکہ تمہیں اپنے دئیے ہوئے سے آزمائے -تمہارا پروردگار بہت جلد حساب کرنے والا ہے اور وہ بیشک بہت بخشنے والا مہربان ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] It is He Who hath made you (His) agents, inheritors of the earth: He hath raised you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He hath given you: for thy Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
[ PICKTHAL ] He it is Who hath placed you as viceroys of the earth and hath exalted some of you in rank above others, that He may try you by (the test of) that which He hath given you. Lo! Thy Lord is swift in prosecution, and Lo! He verily is Forgiving, Merciful.
[ SHAKIR ] And He it is Who has made you successors in the land and raised some of you above others by (various) grades, that He might try you by what He has given you; surely your Lord is quick to requite (evil), and He is most surely the Forgiving, the Merciful.
Sura: 43 - az-Zukhruf (Ornaments of gold) Ayat: 32 أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ (32
تو کیا یہی لوگ رحمت پروردگار کو تقسیم کررہے ہیں حالانکہ ہم نے ہی ان کے درمیان معیشت کو زندگانی دنیا میں تقسیم کیا ہے اور بعض کو بعض سے اونچا بنایا ہے تاکہ ایک دوسرے سے کام لے سکیں اور رحمت پروردگار ان کے جمع کئے ہوئے مال و متاع سے کہیں زیادہ بہتر ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world: and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the (wealth) which they amass.
[ PICKTHAL ] Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
[ SHAKIR ] Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.
