Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: And who has a better religion than he who submits himself entirely to
Allah? And he is the doer of good (to others) and follows the faith of
Ibrahim, the upright one, and Allah took Ibrahim as a friend.
004.126
Y: But to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: And He it
is that Encompasseth all things.
P: Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is
in the earth. Allah ever surroundeth all things.
S: And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is
Allah's; and Allah encompasses all things.
004.127
Y: They ask thy instruction concerning the women say: Allah doth
instruct you about them: And (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto
you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not
the portions prescribed, and yet whom ye desire to marry, as also
concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that ye stand firm
for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed which ye do, but Allah
is well-acquainted therewith.
P: They consult thee concerning women. Say: Allah giveth you decree
concerning them, and the Scripture which hath been recited unto you
(giveth decree), concerning female orphans and those unto whom ye give
not that which is ordained for them though ye desire to marry them, and
(concerning) the weak among children, and that ye should deal justly
with orphans. Whatever good ye do, lo! Allah is ever Aware of it.
S: And they ask you a decision about women. Say: Allah makes known to
you His decision concerning them, and that which is recited to you in
the Book concerning female orphans whom you do not give what is
appointed for them while you desire to marry them, and concerning the
weak among children, and that you should deal towards orphans with
equity; and whatever good you do, Allah surely knows it.
004.128
Y: If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is
no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between
themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are
swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, Allah
is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
P: If a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it
is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between
themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the
minds (of men). If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever
Informed of what ye do.
S: And if a woman fears ill usage or desertion on the part of her
husband, there is no blame on them, if they effect a reconciliation
between them, and reconciliation is better, and avarice has been made
to be present in the (people's) minds; and if you do good (to others)
and guard (against evil), then surely Allah is aware of what you do.
