Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.145
Y: Even if thou wert to bring to the people of the Book all the Signs
(together), they would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou going to
follow their Qibla; nor indeed will they follow each other's Qibla. If
thou after the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain)
desires,-then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.
P: And even if thou broughtest unto those who have received the
Scripture all kinds of portents, they would not follow thy qiblah, nor
canst thou be a follower of their qiblah; nor are some of them
followers of the qiblah of others. And if thou shouldst follow their
desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then surely wert
thou of the evil-doers.
S: And even if you bring to those who have been given the Book every
sign they would not follow your qiblah, nor can you be a follower of
their qiblah, neither are they the followers of each other's qiblah,
and if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to
you, then you shall most surely be among the unjust.
002.146
Y: The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but
some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.
P: Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognise (this revelation) as
they recognise their sons. But lo! a party of them knowingly conceal
the truth.
S: Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize
their sons, and a party of them most surely conceal the truth while
they know (it).
002.147
Y: The Truth is from thy Lord; so be not at all in doubt.
P: It is the Truth from thy Lord (O Muhammad), so be not thou of those
who waver.
S: The truth is from your Lord, therefore you should not be of the
doubters.
002.148
Y: To each is a goal to which Allah turns him; then strive together (as
in a race) Towards all that is good. Wheresoever ye are, Allah will
bring you Together. For Allah Hath power over all things.
P: And each one hath a goal toward which he turneth; so vie with one
another in good works. Wheresoever ye may be, Allah will bring you all
together. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
S: And every one has a direction to which he should turn, therefore
hasten to (do) good works; wherever you are, Allah will bring you all
together; surely Allah has power over all things.
002.149
Y: From whencesoever Thou startest forth, turn Thy face in the direction
of the sacred Mosque; that is indeed the truth from the Lord. And Allah
is not unmindful of what ye do.
P: And whencesoever thou comest forth (for prayer, O Muhammad) turn thy
face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship. Lo! it is the Truth from
thy Lord. Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
S: And from whatsoever place you come forth, turn your face towards the
Sacred Mosque; and surely it is the very truth from your Lord, and
Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
