Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of
Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed
from the Fire and is made to enter paradise, he indeed is triumphant.
The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.
S: Every soul shall taste of death, and you shall only be paid fully
your reward on the resurrection day; then whoever is removed far away
from the fire and is made to enter the garden he indeed has attained
the object; and the life of this world is nothing but a provision of
vanities.
003.186
Y: Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in
your personal selves; and ye shall certainly Hear much that will grieve
you, from those who received the Book before you and from those who
worship many gods. But if ye persevere patiently, and guard against
evil,-then that will be a determining factor in all affairs.
P: Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in your persons, and
ye will hear much wrong from those who were given the Scripture before
you, and from the idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward off (evil),
then that is of the steadfast heart of things.
S: You shall certainly be tried respecting your wealth and your souls,
and you shall certainly hear from those who have been given the Book
before you and from those who are polytheists much annoying talk; and
if you are patient and guard (against evil), surely this is one of the
affairs (which should be) determined upon.
003.187
Y: And remember Allah took a covenant from the People of the Book, to
make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it; but they threw
it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain!
And vile was the bargain they made!
P: And (remember) when Allah laid a charge on those who had received the
Scripture (He said): Ye are to expound it to mankind and not to hide
it. But they flung it behind their backs and bought thereby a little
gain. Verily evil is that which they have gained thereby.
S: And when Allah made a covenant with those who were given the Book:
You shall certainly make it known to men and you shall not hide it; but
they cast it behind their backs and took a small price for it; so evil
is that which they buy.
003.188
Y: Think not that those who exult in what they have brought about, and
love to be praised for what they have not done,- think escape the
penalty. For them is a penalty Grievous indeed.
P: Think not that those who exult in what they have given, and love to
be praised for what they have not done - Think not, they are in safety
from the doom. A painful doom is theirs.
S: Do not think those who rejoice for what they have done and love that
they should be praised for what they have not done-- so do by no means
think them to be safe from the chastisement, and they shall have a
painful chastisement.
003.189
Y: To Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and
Allah hath power over all things.
