Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.191
Y: And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where
they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than
slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first)
fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward
of those who suppress faith.
P: And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places
whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And
fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first
attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such
is the reward of disbelievers.
S: And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence
they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do
not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in
it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of
the unbelievers.
002.192
Y: But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
P: But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
S: But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
002.193
Y: And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and
there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there
be no hostility except to those who practise oppression.
P: And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for
Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except
against wrong-doers.
S: And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion
should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no
hostility except against the oppressors.
002.194
Y: The prohibited month for the prohibited month,- and so for all things
prohibited,- there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses
the prohibition against you, Transgress ye likewise against him. But
fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.
P: The forbidden month for the forbidden month, and forbidden things in
retaliation. And one who attacketh you, attack him in like manner as he
attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is with
those who ward off (evil).
S: The Sacred month for the sacred month and all sacred things are
(under the law of) retaliation; whoever then acts aggressively against
you, inflict injury on him according to the injury he has inflicted on
you and be careful (of your duty) to Allah and know that Allah is with
those who guard (against evil).
002.195
Y: And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your
own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah
loveth those who do good.
P: Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own
hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.
S: And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves to perdition
with your own hands, and do good (to others); surely Allah loves the
doers of good.
