Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
004.097
Y: When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their
souls, they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and
oppressed Were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah
spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men
will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! -
P: Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong
themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will
say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not
Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for
such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;
S: Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are
unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They
shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's
earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it
is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort;
004.098
Y: Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and
children - who have no means in their power, nor (a guide-post) to
their way.
P: Except the feeble among men, and the women, and the children, who are
unable to devise a plan and are not shown a way.
S: Except the weak from among the men and the children who have not in
their power the means nor can they find a way (to escape);
004.099
Y: For these, there is hope that Allah will forgive: For Allah doth blot
out (sins) and forgive again and again.
P: As for such, it may be that Allah will pardon them. Allah is ever
Clement, Forgiving.
S: So these, it may be, Allah will pardon them, and Allah is Pardoning,
Forgiving.
004.100
Y: He who forsakes his home in the cause of Allah, finds in the earth
Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die as a refugee from home
for Allah and His Messenger, His reward becomes due and sure with
Allah: And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
P: Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and
abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto
Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then
incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
S: And whoever flies in Allah's way, he will find in the earth many a
place of refuge and abundant resources, and whoever goes forth from his
house flying to Allah and His Messenger, and then death overtakes him,
his reward is indeed with Allah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
004.101
Y: When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye
shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the
Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.
P: And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail
(your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In
truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.
