在这一章中,长篇论述立法与主权之后,有一段对真主的崇颂,其韵律优美,结论斩截有力。每节经文都以同一个词“你说”开头,形成反复的节奏。每节经文都触动人心,而心中正是独一之道的根基所在:信仰的独一、目标的独一、主宰的独一与崇拜的独一。这段经文也对宇宙及其规律给出了全面的审视:
“你说:‘我的主已引导我走上正直的道路,那是坚定不移的信仰之道,是易卜拉欣的道路。他远离一切虚妄,不是以物配主的人。’你说:‘我的拜功、我的献祭、我的生和我的死,都是为了全世界的主安拉。他没有伙伴。我奉命如此,我是首先归顺的人。’你说:‘难道我要以主宰万物的主以外的人为主宰吗?人所犯的罪,只由他自己承担;任何负担者不替别人负担。然后,你们都要回归你们的主,他将告诉你们,你们过去所争论的事。他是使你们继承大地的主,他使你们中的一些人高出另一些人若干等级,以便借他所赐予你们的事物考验你们。你们的主确是迅速惩罚的,他也确是至赦的,至慈的。’”(第161-165节)
At the end of the sūrah with its long discourse on legislation and sovereignty we have a devotional glorification of God which carries with it a pleasant rhythm and a decisive verdict. The beat is repeated in each verse as it starts with the same word, ‘Say’. Each verse touches the heart, where the core of oneness lies: the oneness of the creed, goal, Lord and worship. It also provides a total look at the universe and its laws: “Say: ‘My Lord has guided me to a straight way, to an ever-true faith; the way of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who associate partners with God’. Say: ‘My prayers, my worship, my living and my dying are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds. He has no partner. Thus have I been commanded, and I shall be the first of those who surrender themselves to Him.’ Say: ‘Am I, then, to seek a lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things? Whatever wrong any human being commits rests upon himself alone. No one shall be made to bear the burden of another. In time, to your Lord you all must return; and then He will tell you the truth of all that over which you were in dispute. He it is who has made you inherit the earth and has raised some of you by degrees above others, so that He might try you by means of what He has bestowed upon you. For certain, your Lord is swift in retribution; yet, He is indeed much- forgiving, merciful.” (Verses 161-5)
这一段结语与整个章首的开篇相互呼应，奏出一段妙不可言、和谐统一的旋律。然而，这段结语所总结的，是关于宰杀牲畜、献祭、农产品以及那些蒙昧之人声称是真主所立之律例的论述。他们所说的一切，都是无耻的谎言。那么，我们该如何理解这段结语呢？事实上，在我们已经就此所作的全部阐述之后，无需再做进一步的解释。
This long and final comment, together with the opening of the sūrah, plays a fascinating, perfectly harmonious tune. Yet it is a comment which concludes the discourse on animal slaughtering, offerings, agricultural produce and all the regulations alleged by the people of ignorance to be laid down by God. All that they say is a shameless lie. So, what do we make of this comment? In fact we do not need to make any further explanation after all that we have already said on the subject.
“说：‘我的主已引导我走上正路，那是正确的宗教，是易卜拉欣的教法，他是崇正者，不是以物配主的人。’”（第161节）这段宣告表达了感恩与信靠，充满了笃定的信念。这种笃定既体现在礼拜中的口头表达上，也体现在它对内心产生的影响上。信靠源于与主的纽带，主引导并看顾祂的仆人。感恩则源于蒙受引导，走上没有偏离与弯曲的正路。这条正路就是易卜拉欣的“正确的宗教”，他是这个民族的始祖，全心全意地将自己归顺于真主：“易卜拉欣的教法，他是崇正者，不是以物配主的人。”（第161节）
“Say: ‘My Lord has guided me to a straight way, to an ever-true faith; the way of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who associate partners with God.’” (Verse 161) This declaration expresses gratitude and trust, and overflows with certainty. We see the certainty in both the verbal expression in worship and its mental effect. The trust is derived from the bond with the Lord who guides and takes care of His servants. The gratitude is felt for being guided to a straight way that is free of diversion and crookedness. This straight way is the `ever true faith’ of Abraham, the father of this community who submitted himself to God in total devotion: “the way of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who associate partners with God.” (Verse 161)
“说：‘我的拜功、我的献身、我的生活和我的死亡，都是为了全世界的主——真主。’”（第162-163节）这表达了全然的奉献，涵盖每一次心跳和生命中的每一个举动。它是以最绝对的方式对主的颂扬与顺服：既包括义务性的拜功，也包括自愿性的拜功，既包括生，也包括死。一切都专为独一的主、全世界的主而奉献，祂掌管并维持万物，支配并决定它们的一切事务。这是一种对主的顺服，内心的任何部分、良知，以及生活中的任何方面，都不被遗漏，全部完全奉献给主。“我已奉命如此”，我领会并遵从；“我是第一个归顺祂的人。”（第163节）
“Say: ‘My prayers, my worship, my living and my dying are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds. He has no partner. Thus have I been commanded, and I shall be the first of those who surrender themselves to Him.’” (Verses 162-3) This expresses complete dedication, with every pulse and every life movement. It is a form of glorification of God and submission to Him in the most absolute of terms: it combines obligatory and voluntary prayer, life and death. All is dedicated to God alone, the Lord of all the worlds, who controls and sustains them all and conducts and determines all their affairs. It is the sort of submission to God that leaves out nothing within oneself, one’s conscience or in life, without dedicating it totally to God. “Thus have I been commanded”, and I understood and obeyed, and “I shall be the first of those who surrender themselves to Him.” (Verse 163)
“请说：‘难道我要寻求真主以外的主宰吗？而他是万物的主宰。’”
“Say: ‘Am I, then, to seek a lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?
任何人所犯的过错，只由他自己承担；没有人会被迫替别人担负重担。到最后，你们都必归于你们的主；那时，祂会告诉你们，你们曾经争论的一切真相。”（第164节）这句经文涵盖了诸天与大地，以及其中和其上的一切，包括人类所知或未知的每一种受造物，以及一切将要在公开或私下进行或发生的事情。它把这一切都置于真主对宇宙万物之主宰的庇护之下。他们都必须在信仰、崇拜和律法上，服从真主的绝对主权。
Whatever wrong any human being commits rests upon himself alone. No one shall be made to bear the burden of another. In time, to your Lord you all must return; and then He will tell you the truth of all that over which you were in dispute.” (Verse 164) This is a word that encompasses all the heavens and earth as well as all that is in or on them, every creature known or unknown to man, everything to be done or to take place in public or private. It puts them all under the umbrella of God’s Lordship of everything in the universe. They must all submit to God’s absolute sovereignty in faith, worship and law.
这节经文以惊讶的反问发问:"难道我要寻求真主之外的主宰吗?而祂是万物的主。"(第164节)难道我要寻求真主之外的主宰,来做我的主人、来安排我的事务、来决定我的人生方向吗?而我的意图与行为都要向真主交代,我为对真主的顺从或违抗所做的一切,都将得到相应的回报。难道我要寻求真主之外的主宰,在这整个宇宙都握于祂手中、你我都依靠祂维持生存的情况下吗?
This verse asks rhetorically and in amazement: “Am I, then, to seek a lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?” (Verse 164) Am I to seek a lord other than God to be my master who conducts my affairs and determines my course in life, when I am accountable to God for my intentions and actions, and will be rewarded for whatever obedience or disobedience to God I do? Am I to seek a lord other than God when this whole universe is in His hand, and both you and I are sustained by Him?
难道我还要去寻求一位除真主以外的主宰吗？每个人都将为自己的罪行承受报应，没有人会为他人的行为承担责任。"任何人所犯的罪孽，只归于他自己；任何负担者，不负他人的负担。"（第164节）难道我还要去寻求一位除真主以外的主宰吗？你们终将归于他，他将审判你们所争执的一切。
Am I to seek a lord other than God when everyone will be requited for his or her sins? No one shall bear responsibility for anyone else’s actions. “Whatever wrong any human being commits rests upon himself alone. No one shall be made to bear the burden of another.” (Verse 164) Am I to seek a lord other than God when to Him you must all return and face His reckoning of all that over which you are in dispute?
难道我还要寻求除真主以外的主宰吗？而正是祂让人类在大地上代代相承，在智力与体力以及所获得的给养上使他们彼此有高低之分，以此考验他们，看他们是感恩还是忘恩。
Am I to seek a lord other than God when it is He who has placed human beings on earth to inherit it, and placed some of them above others in their mental and physical abilities and in the provisions they receive. He does all this to test them, so that they may prove whether they are grateful or ungrateful to Him.
难道我还要寻求除真主以外的主宰吗?祂是迅速施行惩罚的,也是赐予恩典和宽恕给所有悔改其罪行之人的。难道我还要寻求除真主以外的主宰,以取代祂的律法、命令和裁决吗?我既已拥有这一切迹象、启示和证据,指向真主才是宇宙唯一的主宰。
Am I to seek a lord other than God when He is swift in retribution, and He is the One who grants grace and forgiveness to all those who repent of their misdeeds? Am I to seek a lord other than God so as to replace his law, orders and rulings for those of God, when I have all these indications, inspirations and evidence pointing to the truth of God being the only Lord of the universe?
正如我们所说，这些经文是一段虔诚的祈祷，也是对真主独一性的赞颂，体现了纯正信仰在真主的使者ﷺ心中所呈现的壮丽景象。这一景象的壮美无法用人类的语言来表达。只有真主自己的话语《古兰经》，凭借其独特的风格，才能将其完整地表达出来。
As we have said, these verses are a devotional prayer and a glorification of God’s oneness, reflecting the splendid image of pure faith as God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) feels it in his heart. It is an image the splendour of which cannot be expressed in human terms. Only the Qur’ān, God’s own word, can express it fully in its unique style.
正如我们所说，这篇章关于主权与立法问题的最后一段，与篇章前部探讨信仰问题的内容完全相互呼应。这一点从以下经文中可以清楚看出：“你说：”
And as we have said, this last beat in the sūrah addressing the question of sovereignty and legislation is in full harmony with the early part of the sūrah where the issue addressed was that of faith. We see this clearly in verses like these: “Say:
“难道我要以真主以外的人为保护者吗？他是天地的创造者，他供养众生，而不受任何供养。”你说：“我奉命做顺从真主的首位者，你们绝不可以做以物配主的人。”你说：“我确实害怕，如果我违抗我的主，我将遭受那重大之日的刑罚。”在那一日遭受刑罚的人，是蒙主恩慈的人。这就是明显的成功。”（第14-16节）
‘Am I to take for my master anyone but God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, who gives nourishment to all and Himself needs none?’ Say: ‘I am commanded to be the first of those who surrender themselves to God, and not to be among those who associate partners with Him.’ Say: ‘Indeed I would dread, were I to disobey my Lord, the suffering of an awesome day. He who is spared that shall have received His grace. This will be a manifest triumph.’” (Verses 14-16)
