Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: Praise be to Allah, Who hath created the heavens and the earth, and
hath appointed darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe
rivals unto their Lord.
S: All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and
made the darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieve set up equals
with their Lord.
006.002
Y: He it is created you from clay, and then decreed a stated term (for
you). And there is in His presence another determined term; yet ye
doubt within yourselves!
P: He it is Who hath created you from clay, and hath decreed a term for
you. A term is fixed with Him. Yet still ye doubt!
S: He it is Who created you from clay, then He decreed a term; and there
is a term named with Him; still you doubt.
006.003
Y: And He is Allah in the heavens and on earth. He knoweth what ye hide,
and what ye reveal, and He knoweth the (recompense) which ye earn (by
your deeds).
P: He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knoweth both your
secret and your utterance, and He knoweth what ye earn.
S: And He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth; He knows your secret
(thoughts) and your open (words), and He knows what you earn.
006.004
Y: But never did a single one of the signs of their Lord reach them, but
they turned away therefrom.
P: Never came there unto them a revelation of the revelations of Allah
but they did turn away from it.
S: And there does not come to them any communication of the
communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it.
006.005
Y: And now they reject the truth when it reaches them: but soon shall
they learn the reality of what they used to mock at.
P: And they denied the truth when it came unto them. But there will come
unto them the tidings of that which they used to deride.
S: So they have indeed rejected the truth when it came to them;
therefore the truth of what they mocked at will shine upon them.
006.006
Y: See they not how many of those before them We did destroy?-
generations We had established on the earth, in strength such as We
have not given to you - for whom We poured out rain from the skies in
abundance, and gave (fertile) streams flowing beneath their (feet): yet
for their sins We destroyed them, and raised in their wake fresh
generations (to succeed them).
P: See they not how many a generation We destroyed before them, whom We
had established in the earth more firmly than We have established you,
and We shed on them abundant showers from the sky, and made the rivers
flow beneath them. Yet we destroyed them for their sins, and created
after them another generation.
S: Do they not consider how many a generation We have destroyed before
them, whom We had established in the earth as We have not established
you, and We sent the clouds pouring rain on them in abundance, and We
made the rivers to flow beneath them, then We destroyed them on account
of their faults and raised up after them another generation.
