Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.116
Y: They say: "Allah hath begotten a son": Glory be to Him.-Nay, to Him
belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders
worship to Him.
P: And they say: Allah hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He glorified!
Nay, but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His. All are
subservient unto Him.
S: And they say: Allah has taken to himself a son. Glory be to Him;
rather, whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His; all are
obedient to Him.
002.117
Y: To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He
decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is.
P: The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a
thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
S: Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He
decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, so there it is.
002.118
Y: Say those without knowledge: "Why speaketh not Allah unto us? or why
cometh not unto us a Sign?" So said the people before them words of
similar import. Their hearts are alike. We have indeed made clear the
Signs unto any people who hold firmly to Faith (in their hearts).
P: And those who have no knowledge say: Why doth not Allah speak unto
us, or some sign come unto us? Even thus, as they now speak, spake
those (who were) before them. Their hearts are all alike. We have made
clear the revelations for people who are sure.
S: And those who have no knowledge say: Why does not Allah speak to us
or a sign come to us? Even thus said those before them, the like of
what they say; their hearts are all alike. Indeed We have made the
communications clear for a people who are sure.
002.119
Y: Verily We have sent thee in truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a
warner: But of thee no question shall be asked of the Companions of the
Blazing Fire.
P: Lo! We have sent thee (O Muhammad) with the truth, a bringer of glad
tidings and a warner. And thou wilt not be asked about the owners of
hell-fire.
S: Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and
as a warner, and you shall not be called upon to answer for the
companions of the flaming fire.
002.120
Y: Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless
thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that
is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the
knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither
Protector nor helper against Allah.
P: And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians,
till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah (Himself)
is Guidance. And if thou shouldst follow their desires after the
knowledge which hath come unto thee, then wouldst thou have from Allah
no protecting guardian nor helper.
