So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident1435 [attributed to Allāh]?
[1435] Not "obvious" or "distinct" in an argument. Or not "seen," i.e., absent from battles. The reference is to a daughter.
Verse 18 of Surah Az-Zukhruf (43:18), a Meccan surah, is in juz 25, on page 490 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
Do they attribute to their Lord the one who is brought up in adornment and is unclear in speech when arguing due to its femininity?
Or [do they ascribe to Allah] one who is brought up in adornments and is not able to present a clear argument in disputation?
(Like they then for Allâh) a creature who is brought up in adornments (wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e. women), and who in dispute cannot make herself clear?
(Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain?
Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?
What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!
Is he who is brought up amid ornaments and in adversariness is without (demonstrable) evidence (to be associated with Allah)?
