ترجمة الآية 27 من سورة Luqman - English - سورة لقمان : عدد الآيات 34 - - الصفحة 413 - الجزء 21.
And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink wherewith to write), with seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
And if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
(31:27) If all the trees on earth become pens, and the sea replenished by seven more seas were to supply them with ink, the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. *48Verily Allah is Most Mighty, Most Wise.
*48) "Allah's Words": Allah's creative works and the manifestations of His power and wisdom. This very theme has been presented in Surah AI-Kahf: l()<) above a little differently. A person might think there is exaggeration in this. but if one considers the matter a little deeply, one will feel that there is in tact no exaggeration whatever in it. AII the pens that can be made from the trees of the world and aII the ink that can be provided by the oceans of the world, which are replenished by seven more oceans, cannot perhaps help prepare a complete list of aII the reations in the universe, not to speak of aII the manifestations of Allah's power and wisdom and creative works. When it is impossible even to count aII the things found on the earth only, how can one bring into writing aII the creations found in this limitless universe?
Here, the object is to make man realize that no creature can become a deity and an associate in the works of AIIah. Who has brought into being such a vast Universe, Who is administering its affairs and Whose powers and resources are limitless. Not to speak of becoming an associate in the administration of this vast Kingdom, it is not within the power of any creation to obtain a mere nodding acquaintance with the minutest portion of it. How can then one imagine that one or the other creation can have any share in the Divine powers and authority on the basis of which it may answer prayers and make or un-make destinies?
