P:  Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan) ignorance that they are seeking?  Who is better than Allah for judgment to a people who have certainty (in their belief)?

S:  Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire?  And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure?

005.051 Y:  O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors:  They are but friends and protectors to each other.  And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them.  Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

P:  O ye who believe!  Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends.  They are friends one to another.  He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them.  Lo!  Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

S:  O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

005.052 Y:  Those in whose hearts is a disease — thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them, saying:  “We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster.”  Ah! perhaps Allah will give (thee) victory, or a decision according to His will.  Then will they repent of the thoughts which they secretly harboured in their hearts.

P:  And thou seest those in whose heart is a disease race toward them, saying:  We fear lest a change of fortune befall us.  And it may happen that Allah will vouchsafe (unto thee) the victory, or a commandment from His presence.  Then will they repent them of their secret thoughts.

S:  But you will see those in whose hearts is a disease hastening towards them, saying:  We fear lest a calamity should befall us; but it may be that Allah will bring the victory or a punishment from Himself, so that they shall be regretting on account of what they hid in their souls.

005.053 Y:  And those who believe will say:  “Are these the men who swore their strongest oaths by Allah, that they were with you?” All that they do will be in vain, and they will fall into (nothing but) ruin.

P:  Then will the believers say (unto the people of the Scripture):  are these they who swore by Allah their most binding oaths that they were surely with you?  Their works have failed, and they have become the losers.

S:  And those who believe will say:  Are these they who swore by Allah with the most forcible of their oaths that they were most surely with you?  Their deeds shall go for nothing, so they shall become losers.

005.054 Y:  O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault.  That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth.  And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.
