Translation of the meanings Ayah 55 Surah Yūnus - English Translation - Dr. Waleed Bleyhesh Omary - The Noble Qur'an Encyclopedia

Ayah: 55

أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

(55) Nay, but definitely ˹all˺ that is in the Heavens and the Earth belongs to Allah^[2400]; nay, but definitely the promise of Allah is true, but most of them know ˹it˺ not.

[2400] God Almighty rules Supreme and none can stop Him from bringing His will into reality (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, al-Saʿdī); but most people are oblivious to this. Thus this aya begins with the attention-calling particle a-lā, translated here as ‘nay’ to impart a similar affective force (cf. Riḍā).
