P:  Allah loveth not the utterance of harsh speech save by one who hath been wronged.  Allah is ever Hearer, Knower.

S:  Allah does not love the public utterance of hurtful speech unless (it be) by one to whom injustice has been done; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

004.149 Y:  Whether ye publish a good deed or conceal it or cover evil with pardon, verily Allah doth blot out (sins) and hath power (in the judgment of values).

P:  If ye do good openly or keep it secret, or forgive evil, lo!  Allah is ever Forgiving, Powerful.

S:  If you do good openly or do it in secret or pardon an evil then surely Allah is Pardoning, Powerful.

004.150 Y:  Those who deny Allah and His messengers, and (those who) wish to separate Allah from His messengers, saying:  “We believe in some but reject others”:  And (those who) wish to take a course midway,-

P:  Lo! those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and seek to make distinction between Allah and His messengers, and say:  We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and seek to choose a way in between;

S:  Surely those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and (those who) desire to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers and say:  We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and desire to take a course between (this and) that.

004.151 Y:  They are in truth (equally) unbelievers; and we have prepared for unbelievers a humiliating punishment.

P:  Such are disbelievers in truth; and for disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom.

S:  These it is that are truly unbelievers, and We have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.

004.152 Y:  To those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of the messengers, we shall soon give their (due) rewards:  for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

P:  But those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, unto them Allah will give their wages; and Allah was ever Forgiving, Merciful.

S:  And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them—­ Allah will grant them their rewards; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

004.153 Y:  The people of the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven:  Indeed they asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said:  “Show us Allah in public,” but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and lightning.  Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.

P:  The people of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven.  They asked a greater thing of Moses aforetime, for they said:  Show us Allah plainly.  The storm of lightning seized them for their wickedness.  Then (even after that) they chose the calf (for worship) after clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) had come unto them.  And We forgave them that!  And We bestowed on Moses evident authority.
