Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: Then if it becomes known that they both have been guilty of a sin,
two others shall stand up in their place from among those who have a
claim against them, the two nearest in kin; so they two should swear by
Allah: Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony of those
two, and we have not exceeded the limit, for then most surely we should
be of the unjust.
005.108
Y: That is most suitable: that they may give the evidence in its true
nature and shape, or else they would fear that other oaths would be
taken after their oaths. But fear Allah, and listen (to His counsel):
for Allah guideth not a rebellious people:
P: Thus it is more likely that they will bear true witness or fear that
after their oaths the oaths (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of
your duty (to Allah) and hearken. Allah guideth not the froward folk.
S: This is more proper in order that they should give testimony truly or
fear that other oaths be given after their oaths; and be careful of
(your duty to) Allah, and hear; and Allah does not guide the
transgressing people.
005.109
Y: One day will Allah gather the messengers together, and ask: "What was
the response ye received (from men to your teaching)?" They will say:
"We have no knowledge: it is Thou Who knowest in full all that is
hidden."
P: In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers, and saith:
What was your response (from mankind)? they say: We have no knowledge.
Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden,
S: On the day when Allah will assemble the messengers, then say: What
answer were you given? They shall say: We have no knowledge, surely
Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things.
005.110
Y: Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to
thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy
spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in
maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the
Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a
bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by
My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My
leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And
behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee
when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among
them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'"
