Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: Who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut
asunder what Allah has ordered to be joined, and make mischief in the
land; these it is that are the losers.
002.028
Y: How can ye reject the faith in Allah?- seeing that ye were without
life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will
again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.
P: How disbelieve ye in Allah when ye were dead and He gave life to you!
Then He will give you death, then life again, and then unto Him ye will
return.
S: How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again
He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, then you shall be
brought back to Him.
002.029
Y: It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth;
Moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and
perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect
knowledge.
P: He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He
to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of
all things.
S: He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and He
directed Himself to the heaven, so He made them complete seven heavens,
and He knows all things.
002.030
Y: Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on
earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief
therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify
Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."
P: And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a
viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will
do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and
sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.
S: And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place in the
earth a khalif, they said: What! wilt Thou place in it such as shall
make mischief in it and shed blood, and we celebrate Thy praise and
extol Thy holiness? He said: Surely I know what you do not know.
002.031
Y: And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them
before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if ye are
right."
P: And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them to the angels,
saying: Inform Me of the names of these, if ye are truthful.
S: And He taught Adam all the names, then presented them to the angels;
then He said: Tell me the names of those if you are right.
002.032
Y: They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none, save what Thou
Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and
wisdom."
P: They said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge saving that which Thou
hast taught us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower, the Wise.
S: They said: Glory be to Thee! we have no knowledge but that which Thou
hast taught us; surely Thou art the Knowing, the Wise.
