Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.240
Y: Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for their
widows a year's maintenance and residence; but if they leave (The
residence), there is no blame on you for what they do with themselves,
provided it is reasonable. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
P: (In the case of) those of you who are about to die and leave behind
them wives, they should bequeath unto their wives a provision for the
year without turning them out, but if they go out (of their own accord)
there is no sin for you in that which they do of themselves within
their rights. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
S: And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) a bequest in
favor of their wives of maintenance for a year without turning (them)
out, then if they themselves go away, there is no blame on you for what
they do of lawful deeds by themselves, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
002.241
Y: For divorced women Maintenance (should be provided) on a reasonable
(scale). This is a duty on the righteous.
P: For divorced women a provision in kindness: a duty for those who ward
off (evil).
S: And for the divorced women (too) provision (must be made) according
to usage; (this is) a duty on those who guard (against evil).
002.242
Y: Thus doth Allah Make clear His Signs to you: In order that ye may
understand.
P: Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations so that ye may
understand.
S: Allah thus makes clear to you His communications that you may
understand.
002.243
Y: Didst thou not Turn by vision to those who abandoned their homes,
though they were thousands (In number), for fear of death? Allah said
to them: "Die": Then He restored them to life. For Allah is full of
bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.
P: Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old, who went forth from their
habitations in their thousands, fearing death, and Allah said unto
them: Die; and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord
of Kindness to mankind, but most of mankind give not thanks.
S: Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for
fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die;
again He gave them life; most surely Allah is Gracious to people, but
most people are not grateful.
002.244
Y: Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and
knoweth all things.
P: Fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Hearer, Knower.
S: And fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Hearing,
Knowing.
002.245
Y: Who is he that will loan to Allah a beautiful loan, which Allah will
double unto his credit and multiply many times? It is Allah that giveth
(you) Want or plenty, and to Him shall be your return.
P: Who is it that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan, so that He may
give it increase manifold? Allah straiteneth and enlargeth. Unto Him ye
will return.
