Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.024
Y: But if ye cannot- and of a surety ye cannot- then fear the Fire whose
fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject Faith.
P: And if ye do it not- and ye can never do it - then guard yourselves
against the Fire prepared for disbelievers, whose fuel is of men and
stones.
S: But if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your
guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is
prepared for the unbelievers.
002.025
Y: But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness,
that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time
they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we
were fed with before," for they are given things in similitude; and
they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein
(for ever).
P: And give glad tidings (O Muhammad) unto those who believe and do good
works; that theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow; as often
as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof, they say: this is
what was given us aforetime; and it is given to them in resemblance.
There for them are pure companions; there forever they abide.
S: And convey good news to those who believe and do good deeds, that
they shall have gardens in which rivers flow; whenever they shall be
given a portion of the fruit thereof, they shall say: This is what was
given to us before; and they shall be given the like of it, and they
shall have pure mates in them, and in them, they shall abide.
002.026
Y: Allah disdains not to use the similitude of things, lowest as well as
highest. Those who believe know that it is truth from their Lord; but
those who reject Faith say: "What means Allah by this similitude?" By
it He causes many to stray, and many He leads into the right path; but
He causes not to stray, except those who forsake (the path),-
P: Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a gnat. Those
who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; but those who
disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish (to teach) by such a similitude?
He misleadeth many thereby, and He guideth many thereby; and He
misleadeth thereby only miscreants;
S: Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a
gnat or any thing above that; then as for those who believe, they know
that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve,
they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many
to err by it and many He leads aright by it! but He does not cause to
err by it (any) except the transgressors,
002.027
Y: Those who break Allah's Covenant after it is ratified, and who sunder
what Allah has ordered to be joined, and do mischief on earth: These
cause loss (only) to themselves.
P: Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever
that which Allah ordered to be joined, and (who) make mischief in the
earth: Those are they who are the losers.
