Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: And if ye call them to the Guidance, they follow you not. Whether ye
call them or are silent is all one for you.
S: And if you invite them to guidance, they will not follow you; it is
the same to you whether you invite them or you are silent.
007.194
Y: Verily those whom ye call upon besides Allah are servants like unto
you: Call upon them, and let them listen to your prayer, if ye are
(indeed) truthful!
P: Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah are slaves like unto you. Call
on them now, and let them answer you, if ye are truthful!
S: Surely those whom you call on besides Allah are in a state of
subjugation like yourselves; therefore call on them, then let them
answer you if you are truthful.
007.195
Y: Have they feet to walk with? Or hands to lay hold with? Or eyes to
see with? Or ears to hear with? Say: "Call your 'god-partners', scheme
(your worst) against me, and give me no respite!"
P: Have they feet wherewith they walk, or have they hands wherewith they
hold, or have they eyes wherewith they see, or have they ears wherewith
they hear? Say: Call upon your (so-called) partners (of Allah), and
then contrive against me, spare me not!
S: Have they feet with which they walk, or have they hands with which
they hold, or have they eyes with which they see, or have they ears
with which they hear? Say: Call your associates, then make a struggle
(to prevail) against me and give me no respite.
007.196
Y: "For my Protector is Allah, Who revealed the Book (from time to
time), and He will choose and befriend the righteous."
P: Lo! my Protecting Friend is Allah Who revealeth the Scripture. He
befriendeth the righteous.
S: Surely my guardian is Allah, Who revealed the Book, and He befriends
the good.
007.197
Y: "But those ye call upon besides Him, are unable to help you, and
indeed to help themselves."
P: They on whom ye call beside Him have no power to help you, nor can
they help you, nor can they help themselves.
S: And those whom you call upon besides Him are not able to help you,
nor can they help themselves.
007.198
Y: If thou callest them to guidance, they hear not. Thou wilt see them
looking at thee, but they see not.
P: And if ye (Muslims) call them to the guidance they hear not; and thou
(Muhammad) seest them looking toward thee, but they see not.
S: And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see
them looking towards you, yet they do not see.
007.199
Y: Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn away from the
ignorant.
P: Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, and turn away
from the ignorant.
S: Take to forgiveness and enjoin good and turn aside from the ignorant.
007.200
Y: If a suggestion from Satan assail thy (mind), seek refuge with Allah;
for He heareth and knoweth (all things).
P: And if a slander from the devil wound thee, then seek refuge in
Allah. Lo! He is Hearer, Knower.
