Three Translations of The Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 1,833 pages of information about Three Translations of The Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side.

P:  And when Our revelations are recited unto them, thou knowest the denial in the faces of those who disbelieve; they all but attack those who recite Our revelations unto them.  Say:  Shall I proclaim unto you worse than that?  The Fire!  Allah hath promised it for those who disbelieve.  A hapless journey’s end!

S:  And when Our clear communications are recited to them you will find denial on the faces of those who disbelieve; they almost spring upon those who recite to them Our communications.  Say:  Shall I inform you of what is worse than this?  The fire; Allah has promised it to those who disbelieve; and how evil the resort!

022.073 Y:  O men!  Here is a parable set forth! listen to it!  Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly.  Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!

P:  O mankind!  A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it:  Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose.  And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it.  So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!

S:  O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it:  surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it back from it; weak are the invoker and the invoked.

022.074 Y:  No just estimate have they made of Allah:  for Allah is He Who is strong and able to Carry out His Will.

P:  They measure not Allah His rightful measure.  Lo!  Allah is Strong, Almighty.

S:  They have not estimated Allah with the estimation that is due to Him; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.

022.075 Y:  Allah chooses messengers from angels and from men for Allah is He Who hears and sees (all things).

P:  Allah chooseth from the angels messengers, and (also) from mankind.  Lo!  Allah is Hearer, Seer.

S:  Allah chooses messengers from among the angels and from among the men; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.

022.076 Y:  He knows what is before them and what is behind them:  and to Allah go back all questions (for decision).

P:  He knoweth all that is before them and all that is behind them, and unto Allah all things are returned.

S:  He knows what is before them and what is behind them and to Allah are all affairs turned back.

022.077 Y:  O ye who believe! bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.

P:  O ye who believe!  Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, that haply ye may prosper.

S:  O you who believe! bow down and prostrate yourselves and serve your Lord, and do good that you may succeed.
