Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: And a party of the People of the Scripture say: Believe in that which
hath been revealed unto those who believe at the opening of the day,
and disbelieve at the end thereof, in order that they may return;
S: And a party of the followers of the Book say: Avow belief in that
which has been revealed to those who believe, in the first part of the
day, and disbelieve at the end of it, perhaps they go back on their
religion.
003.073
Y: "And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say: "True
guidance is the Guidance of Allah: (Fear ye) Lest a revelation be sent
to someone (else) Like unto that which was sent unto you? or that those
(Receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your
Lord?" Say: "All bounties are in the hand of Allah: He granteth them to
whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."
P: And believe not save in one who followeth your religion - Say (O
Muhammad): Lo! the guidance is Allah's Guidance - that anyone is given
the like of that which was given unto you or that they may argue with
you in the presence of their Lord. Say (O Muhammad): Lo! the bounty is
in Allah's hand. He bestoweth it on whom He will. Allah is
All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
S: And do not believe but in him who follows your religion. Say: Surely
the (true) guidance is the guidance of Allah-- that one may be given
(by Him) the like of what you were given; or they would contend with
you by an argument before your Lord. Say: Surely grace is in the hand
of Allah, He gives it to whom He pleases; and Allah is Ample-giving,
Knowing.
003.074
Y: For His Mercy He specially chooseth whom He pleaseth; for Allah is
the Lord of bounties unbounded.
P: He selecteth for His mercy whom He will. Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
S: He specially chooses for His mercy whom He pleases; and Allah is the
Lord of mighty grace.
003.075
Y: Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard
of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a
single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest
demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith)
with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against Allah, and
(well) they know it.
P: Among the People of the Scripture there is he who, if thou trust him
with a weight of treasure, will return it to thee. And among them there
is he who, if thou trust him with a piece of gold, will not return it
to thee unless thou keep standing over him. That is because they say:
We have no duty to the Gentiles. They speak a lie concerning Allah
knowingly.
