006.041 Y:  “Nay,- On Him would ye call, and if it be His will, He would remove (the distress) which occasioned your call upon Him, and ye would forget (the false gods) which ye join with Him!”

P:  Nay, but unto Him ye call, and He removeth that because of which ye call unto Him, if He will, and ye forget whatever partners ye ascribed unto Him.

S:  Nay, Him you call upon, so He clears away that for which you pray if He pleases and you forget what you set up (with Him).

006.042 Y:  Before thee We sent (messengers) to many nations, and We afflicted the nations with suffering and adversity, that they might learn humility.

P:  We have sent already unto peoples that were before thee, and We visited them with tribulation and adversity, in order that they might grow humble.

S:  And certainly We sent (messengers) to nations before you then We seized them with distress and affliction in order that they might humble themselves.

006.043 Y:  When the suffering reached them from us, why then did they not learn humility?  On the contrary their hearts became hardened, and Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them.

P:  If only, when Our disaster came on them, they had been humble!  But their hearts were hardened and the devil made all that they used to do seem fair unto them!

S:  Yet why did they not, when Our punishment came to them, humble themselves?  But their hearts hardened and the Shaitan made what they did fair-seeming to them.

006.044 Y:  But when they forgot the warning they had received, We opened to them the gates of all (good) things, until, in the midst of their enjoyment of Our gifts, on a sudden, We called them to account, when lo! they were plunged in despair!

P:  Then, when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We opened unto them the gates of all things till, even as they were rejoicing in that which they were given, We seized them unawares, and lo! they were dumbfounded.

S:  But when they neglected that with which they had been admonished, We opened for them the doors of all things, until when they rejoiced in what they were given We seized them suddenly; then lo! they were in utter despair.

006.045 Y:  Of the wrong-doers the last remnant was cut off.  Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds.

P:  So of the people who did wrong the last remnant was cut off.  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!

S:  So the roots of the people who were unjust were cut off; and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

006.046 Y:  Say:  “Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who — a god other than Allah — could restore them to you?” See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.

P:  Say:  Have ye imagined, if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and seal your hearts, who is the God who could restore it to you save Allah?  See how We display the revelations unto them!  Yet still they turn away.
