Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: That is because Allah never changeth the grace He hath bestowed on
any people until they first change that which is in their hearts, and
(that is) because Allah is Hearer, Knower.
S: This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has
conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and
because Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
008.054
Y: "(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before
them": They treated as false the Signs of their Lord: so We destroyed
them for their crimes, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh: for they
were all oppressors and wrong-doers.
P: (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh's folk and those before them;
they denied the revelations of their Lord, so We destroyed them in
their sins. And We drowned the folk of Pharaoh. All were evil-doers.
S: In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they
rejected the communications of their Lord, therefore We destroyed them
on account of their faults and We drowned Firon's people, and they were
all unjust.
008.055
Y: For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are those who reject
Him: They will not believe.
P: Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful who will
not believe.
S: Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who
disbelieve, then they would not believe.
008.056
Y: They are those with whom thou didst make a covenant, but they break
their covenant every time, and they have not the fear (of Allah).
P: Those of them with whom thou madest a treaty, and then at every
opportunity they break their treaty, and they keep not duty (to Allah).
S: Those with whom you make an agreement, then they break their
agreement every time and they do not guard (against punishment).
008.057
Y: If ye gain the mastery over them in war, disperse, with them, those
who follow them, that they may remember.
P: If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike
fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.
S: Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making
an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be
mindful.
008.058
Y: If thou fearest treachery from any group, throw back (their covenant)
to them, (so as to be) on equal terms: for Allah loveth not the
treacherous.
P: And if thou fearest treachery from any folk, then throw back to them
(their treaty) fairly. Lo! Allah loveth not the treacherous.
S: And if you fear treachery on the part of a people, then throw back to
them on terms of equality; surely Allah does not love the treacherous.
008.059
Y: Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the
godly): they will never frustrate (them).
P: And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip
(Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape.
S: And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first;
surely they will not escape.
