Vertaling van de betekenissen Vers 74 Surah Soerat De bij (an-Nahl) - Engelse Vertaling - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Omari - The Heilige Qur'an Encyclopedie

Vers: 74

فَلَا تَضۡرِبُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

(74) So do not pose ˹any˺ as similar to Allah^[3363]; verily Allah Knows and you do not know^[3364].

[3363] “Nothing is like Him; He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing” (42: 11).
[3364] God Almighty Knows the Truth of things; that He has no Associate, that nothing is like Him and none of the deeds of people is hidden from Him. The Associators meanwhile do not fully realize His Greatness and through their ignorance they fall into Association claiming a likeness between Him and their idols (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, Abū al-Suʿūd, al-Tafsīr al-Mukhtaṣar).
Yaḍribu mathalan carries both meanings of “pose as similar”, as in claiming that something is a representation of something else (their gods as similar to God Almighty) or to “pose as example”, as in to give examples that illustrate analogies through parables.
