Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: And to establish worship and be dutiful to Him, and He it is unto
Whom ye will be gathered.
S: And that you should keep up prayer and be careful of (your duty to)
Him; and He it is to Whom you shall be gathered.
006.073
Y: It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions):
the day He saith, "Be," behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will
be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the
unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well
acquainted (with all things).
P: He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In the day
when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth, and His will be the
Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the
Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.
S: And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth with truth,
and on the day He says: Be, it is. His word is the truth, and His is
the kingdom on the day when the trumpet shall be blown; the Knower of
the unseen and the seen; and He is the Wise, the Aware.
006.074
Y: Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For
I see thee and thy people in manifest error."
P: (Remember) when Abraham said unto his father Azar: Takest thou idols
for gods? Lo! I see thee and thy folk in error manifest.
S: And when Ibrahim said to his sire, Azar: Do you take idols for gods?
Surely I see you and your people in manifest error.
006.075
Y: So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and
the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.
P: Thus did We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth
that he might be of those possessing certainty:
S: And thus did We show Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavens and the earth
and that he might be of those who are sure.
006.076
Y: When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my
Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."
P: When the night grew dark upon him he beheld a star. He said: This is
my Lord. But when it set, he said: I love not things that set.
S: So when the night over-shadowed him, he saw a star; said he: Is this
my Lord? So when it set, he said: I do not love the setting ones.
006.077
Y: When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord."
But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall
surely be among those who go astray."
P: And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed: This is my Lord. But
when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guide me, I surely shall become
one of the folk who are astray.
S: Then when he saw the moon rising, he said: Is this my Lord? So when
it set, he said: If my Lord had not guided me I should certainly be of
the erring people.
006.078
Y: When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord;
this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my
people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah."
