قُلْ مَنۢ بِيَدِهِۦ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Qul mam bi yadihee malakootu kulli shai'inw wa Huwa yujeeru wa laa yujaaru 'alaihi in kuntum ta'lamoon
Powiedz: "Kto ma w swoim ręku władzę królewską nad każdą rzeczą? I kto roztacza opiekę, a opieki nie potrzebuje - jeśli wiecie?"
Say, 'In whose hand is the dominion of all things, who grants protection while none can be protected against him — if you truly know?'
Bi-yadihī malakūtu kulli shayʾ recurs word for word at 36:83, where it stands as praise; here the same clause is put to opponents as a question they have to answer themselves. Malakūt is an intensive form of mulk, dominion stretched to its furthest reach. The middle clause turns on one root used twice, active then passive: he grants sanctuary, and no sanctuary can be granted against him.
