Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him.
He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners
to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin.
S: Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with
Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and
whoever associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a great sin.
004.049
Y: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who claim sanctity for
themselves? Nay-but Allah Doth sanctify whom He pleaseth. But never
will they fail to receive justice in the least little thing.
P: Hast thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity? Nay, Allah
purifieth whom He will, and they will not be wronged even the hair upon
a date-stone.
S: Have you not considered those who attribute purity to themselves?
Nay, Allah purifies whom He pleases; and they shall not be wronged the
husk of a date stone.
004.050
Y: Behold! how they invent a lie against Allah! but that by itself is a
manifest sin!
P: See, how they invent lies about Allah! That of itself is flagrant
sin.
S: See how they forge the lie against Allah, and this is sufficient as a
manifest sin.
004.051
Y: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of
the Book? they believe in sorcery and Evil, and say to the Unbelievers
that they are better guided in the (right) way Than the believers!
P: Hast thou not seen those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath
been given, how they believe in idols and false deities, and how they
say of those (idolaters) who disbelieve: "These are more rightly guided
than those who believe"?
S: Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Book has been given?
They believe in idols and false deities and say of those who
disbelieve: These are better guided in the path than those who believe.
004.052
Y: They are (men) whom Allah hath cursed: And those whom Allah Hath
cursed, thou wilt find, have no one to help.
P: Those are they whom Allah hath cursed, and he whom Allah hath cursed,
thou (O Muhammad) wilt find for him no helper.
S: Those are they whom Allah has cursed, and whomever Allah curses you
shall not find any helper for him.
004.053
Y: Have they a share in dominion or power? Behold, they give not a
farthing to their fellow-men?
P: Or have they even a share in the Sovereignty? Then in that case, they
would not give mankind even the speck on a date-stone.
S: Or have they a share in the kingdom? But then they would not give to
people even the speck in the date stone.
004.054
Y: Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his bounty?
but We had already given the people of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and
conferred upon them a great kingdom.
P: Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of His
bounty hath bestowed upon them? For We bestowed upon the house of
Abraham (of old) the Scripture and wisdom, and We bestowed on them a
mighty kingdom.
