P:  He only shall tend Allah’s sanctuaries who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due and feareth none save Allah.  For such (only) is it possible that they can be of the rightly guided.

S:  Only he shall visit the mosques of Allah who believes in Allah and the latter day, and keeps up prayer and pays the poor-rate and fears none but Allah; so (as for) these, it may be that they are of the followers of the right course.

009.019 Y:  Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the pious service of) those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and strive with might and main in the cause of Allah?  They are not comparable in the sight of Allah:  and Allah guides not those who do wrong.

P:  Count ye the slaking of a pilgrim’s thirst and tendance of the Inviolable Place of Worship as (equal to the worth of) him who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and striveth in the way of Allah?  They are not equal in the sight of Allah.  Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

S:  What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day and strives hard in Allah’s way?  They are not equal with Allah; and Allah does not guide the unjust people.

009.020 Y:  Those who believe, and suffer exile and strive with might and main, in Allah’s cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of Allah:  they are the people who will achieve (salvation).

P:  Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah’s way are of much greater worth in Allah’s sight.  These are they who are triumphant.

S:  Those who believed and fled (their homes), and strove hard in Allah’s way with their property and their souls, are much higher in rank with Allah; and those are they who are the achievers (of their objects).

009.021 Y:  Their Lord doth give them glad tidings of a Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of gardens for them, wherein are delights that endure: 

P:  Their Lord giveth them good tidings of mercy from Him, and acceptance, and Gardens where enduring pleasure will be theirs;

S:  Their Lord gives them good news of mercy from Himself and (His) good pleasure and gardens, wherein lasting blessings shall be theirs;

009.022 Y:  They will dwell therein for ever.  Verily in Allah’s presence is a reward, the greatest (of all).

P:  There they will abide for ever.  Lo! with Allah there is immense reward.

S:  Abiding therein for ever; surely Allah has a Mighty reward with Him.

009.023 Y:  O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith:  if any of you do so, they do wrong.
