Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: Lo! Allah (it is) Who splitteth the grain of corn and the date-stone
(for sprouting). He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and is the
bringer-forth of the dead from the living. Such is Allah. How then are
ye perverted?
S: Surely Allah causes the grain and the stone to germinate; He brings
forth the living from the dead and He is the bringer forth of the dead
from the living; that is Allah! how are you then turned away.
006.096
Y: He it is that cleaveth the day-break (from the dark): He makes the
night for rest and tranquillity, and the sun and moon for the reckoning
(of time): Such is the judgment and ordering of (Him), the Exalted in
Power, the Omniscient.
P: He is the Cleaver of the Daybreak, and He hath appointed the night
for stillness, and the sun and the moon for reckoning. That is the
measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.
S: He causes the dawn to break; and He has made the night for rest, and
the sun and the moon for reckoning; this is an arrangement of the
Mighty, the Knowing.
006.097
Y: It is He Who maketh the stars (as beacons) for you, that ye may guide
yourselves, with their help, through the dark spaces of land and sea:
We detail Our signs for people who know.
P: And He it is Who hath set for you the stars that ye may guide your
course by them amid the darkness of the land and the sea. We have
detailed Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.
S: And He it is Who has made the stars for you that you might follow the
right way thereby in the darkness of the land and the sea; truly We
have made plain the communications for a people who know.
006.098
Y: It is He Who hath produced you from a single person: here is a place
of sojourn and a place of departure: We detail Our signs for people who
understand.
P: And He it is Who hath produced you from a single being, and (hath
given you) a habitation and a repository. We have detailed Our
revelations for a people who have understanding.
S: And He it is Who has brought you into being from a single soul, then
there is (for you) a resting-place and a depository; indeed We have
made plain the communications for a people who understand.
006.099
Y: It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce
vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of
which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm
and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and
near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and
pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when
they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the
ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are signs for people
who believe.
