041.032 Y:  “A hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!”

P:  A gift of welcome from One Forgiving, Merciful.

S:  A provision from the Forgiving, the Merciful.

041.033 Y:  Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, “I am of those who bow in Islam”?

P:  And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith:  Lo!  I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).

S:  And who speaks better than he who calls to Allah while he himself does good, and says:  I am surely of those who submit?

041.034 Y:  Nor can goodness and Evil be equal.  Repel (Evil) with what is better:  Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!

P:  The good deed and the evil deed are not alike.  Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.

S:  And not alike are the good and the evil.  Repel (evil) with what is best, when lo! he between whom and you was enmity would be as if he were a warm friend.

041.035 Y:  And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint,- none but persons of the greatest good fortune.

P:  But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.

S:  And none are made to receive it but those who are patient, and none are made to receive it but those who have a mighty good fortune.

041.036 Y:  And if (at any time) an incitement to discord is made to thee by the Evil One, seek refuge in Allah.  He is the One Who hears and knows all things.

P:  And if a whisper from the devil reach thee (O Muhammad) then seek refuge in Allah.  Lo!  He is the Hearer, the Knower.

S:  And if an interference of the Shaitan should cause you mischief, seek refuge in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

041.037 Y:  Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon.  Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve.

P:  And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon.  Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship.

S:  And among His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; and prostrate to Allah Who created them, if Him it is that you serve.

041.038 Y:  But if they (Unbelievers) are arrogant, (no matter):  for in the presence of thy Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night and by day.  And they never flag (nor feel themselves above it).

P:  But if they are too proud — still those who are with thy Lord glorify Him night and day, and tire not.
