Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones,
that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves,
though they perceive not.
S: And thus have We made in every town the great ones to be its guilty
ones, that they may plan therein; and they do not plan but against
their own souls, and they do not perceive.
006.124
Y: When there comes to them a sign (from Allah), They say: "We shall not
believe until we receive one (exactly) like those received by Allah's
messengers." Allah knoweth best where (and how) to carry out His
mission. Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before Allah,
and a severe punishment, for all their plots.
P: And when a token cometh unto them, they say: We will not believe till
we are given that which Allah's messengers are given. Allah knoweth
best with whom to place His message. Humiliation from Allah and heavy
punishment will smite the guilty for their scheming.
S: And when a communication comes to them they say: We will not believe
till we are given the like of what Allah's messengers are given. Allah
best knows where He places His message. There shall befall those who
are guilty humiliation from Allah and severe chastisement because of
what they planned.
006.125
Y: Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their
breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh
their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the
skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to
believe.
P: And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom
unto the Surrender, and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray, He
maketh his bosom close and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer
ascent. Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon those who believe not.
S: Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah intends that He would guide him
aright, He expands his breast for Islam, and (for) whomsoever He
intends that He should cause him to err, He makes his breast strait and
narrow as though he were ascending upwards; thus does Allah lay
uncleanness on those who do not believe.
006.126
Y: This is the way of thy Lord, leading straight: We have detailed the
signs for those who receive admonition.
P: This is the path of thy Lord, a straight path. We have detailed Our
revelations for a people who take heed.
S: And this is the path of your Lord, (a) right (path); indeed We have
made the communications clear for a people who mind.
006.127
Y: For them will be a home of peace in the presence of their Lord: He
will be their friend, because they practised (righteousness).
P: For them is the abode of peace with their Lord. He will be their
Protecting Friend because of what they used to do.
S: They shall have the abode of peace with their Lord, and He is their
guardian because of what they did.
