Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: Surely those who conceal any part of the Book that Allah has revealed
and take for it a small price, they eat nothing but fire into their
bellies, and Allah will not speak to them on the day of resurrection,
nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful chastisement.
002.175
Y: They are the ones who buy Error in place of Guidance and Torment in
place of Forgiveness. Ah! what boldness (They show) for the Fire!
P: Those are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, and
torment at the price of pardon. How constant are they in their strife
to reach the Fire!
S: These are they who buy error for the right direction and chastisement
for forgiveness; how bold they are to encounter fire.
002.176
Y: (Their doom is) because Allah sent down the Book in truth but those
who seek causes of dispute in the Book are in a schism Far (from the
purpose).
P: That is because Allah hath revealed the Scripture with the truth. Lo!
those who find (a cause of) disagreement in the Scripture are in open
schism.
S: This is because Allah has revealed the Book with the truth; and
surely those who go against the Book are in a great opposition.
002.177
Y: It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West;
but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the
Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance,
out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the
wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be
steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the
contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or
suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are
the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.
P: It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the
West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and
the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for
love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer
and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper
worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when
they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of
stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.
S: It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and
the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah
and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give
away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and
the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation
of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the
performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient
in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they
who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against
evil).
