Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.215
Y: They ask thee what they should spend (In charity). Say: Whatever ye
spend that is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in
want and for wayfarers. And whatever ye do that is good,- Allah knoweth
it well.
P: They ask thee, (O Muhammad), what they shall spend. Say: that which
ye spend for good (must go) to parents and near kindred and orphans and
the needy and the wayfarer. And whatsoever good ye do, lo! Allah is
Aware of it.
S: They ask you as to what they should spend. Say: Whatever wealth you
spend, it is for the parents and the near of kin and the orphans and
the needy and the wayfarer, and whatever good you do, Allah surely
knows it.
002.216
Y: Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible
that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing
which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
P: Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it
may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may
happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye
know not.
S: Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you;
and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it
may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows,
while you do not know.
002.217
Y: They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say:
"Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of
Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent
access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and
oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you
until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you
turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear
no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of
the Fire and will abide therein.
P: They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred
month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn
(men) from the way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the
Inviolable Place of Worship, and to expel His people thence, is a
greater sin with Allah; for persecution is worse than killing. And they
will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you
renegades from your religion, if they can. And whoso becometh a
renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have
fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such are rightful owners of
the Fire: they will abide therein.
