Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
003.178
Y: Let not the Unbelievers think that our respite to them is good for
themselves: We grant them respite that they may grow in their iniquity:
But they will have a shameful punishment.
P: And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them
bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow
in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.
S: And let not those who disbelieve think that Our granting them respite
is better for their souls; We grant them respite only that they may add
to their sins; and they shall have a disgraceful chastisement.
003.179
Y: Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which ye are now,
until He separates what is evil from what is good nor will He disclose
to you the secrets of the Unseen. But He chooses of His Messengers (For
the purpose) whom He pleases. So believe in Allah. And His messengers:
And if ye believe and do right, ye have a reward without measure.
P: It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state
till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the
purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His
messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in
Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will
be a vast reward.
S: On no account will Allah leave the believers in the condition which
you are in until He separates the evil from the good; nor is Allah
going to make you acquainted with the unseen, but Allah chooses of His
messengers whom He pleases; therefore believe in Allah and His
messengers; and if you believe and guard (against evil), then you shall
have a great reward.
003.180
Y: And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah
Hath given them of His Grace, think that it is good for them: Nay, it
will be the worse for them: soon shall the things which they covetously
withheld be tied to their necks Like a twisted collar, on the Day of
Judgment. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth;
and Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
P: And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon
them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse
for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of
Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and
Allah is Informed of what ye do.
S: And let not those deem, who are niggardly in giving away that which
Allah has granted them out of His grace, that it is good for them; nay,
it is worse for them; they shall have that whereof they were niggardly
made to cleave to their necks on the resurrection day; and Allah's is
the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is aware of what
you do.
