Three Translations of The Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Chapter 280 : 045.025 Y: And when Our Clear Signs are rehea.r.s.ed to them their argument is nothing

045.025 Y: And when Our Clear Signs are rehea.r.s.ed to them their argument is nothing but this: They say, "Bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"

P: And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers then, if ye are truthful.

S: And when Our clear communications are recited to them, their argument is no other than that they say: Bring our fathers (back) if you are truthful.

045.026 Y: Say: "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most men do not understand.

P: Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you, then causeth you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.

S: Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, then will He gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is no doubt, but most people do not know.

045.027 Y: To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established,- that Day will the dealers in Falsehood peris.h.!.+

P: And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the Hour riseth, on that day those who follow falsehood will be lost.

S: And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the hour shall come to pa.s.s, on that day shall they perish who say false things.

045.028 Y: And thou wilt see every sect bowing the knee: Every sect will be called to its Record: "This Day shall ye be recompensed for all that ye did!"

P: And thou wilt see each nation crouching, each nation summoned to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited what ye used to do.

S: And you shall see every nation kneeling down; every nation shall be called to its book: today you shall be rewarded for what you did.

045.029 Y: "This Our Record speaks about you with truth: For We were wont to put on Record all that ye did."

P: This Our Book p.r.o.nounceth against you with truth. Lo! We have caused (all) that ye did to be recorded.

S: This is Our book that speaks against you with justice; surely We wrote what you did,

045.030 Y: Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the achievement for all to see.

P: Then, as for those who believed and did good works, their Lord will bring them in unto His mercy. That is the evident triumph.

S: Then as to those who believed and did good, their Lord will make them enter into His mercy; that is the manifest achievement.

045.031 Y: But as to those who rejected Allah, (to them will be said): "Were not Our Signs rehea.r.s.ed to you? But ye were arrogant, and were a people given to sin!"

P: And as for those who disbelieved (it will be said unto them): Were not Our revelations recited unto you? But ye were scornful and became a guilty folk.

S: As to those who disbelieved: What! were not My communications recited to you? But you were proud and you were a guilty people.

04.032 Y: "And when it was said that the promise of Allah was true, and that the Hour- there was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm a.s.surance.'"

P: And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is.

We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced.

S: And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is true and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you said: We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (that it will come to pa.s.s) save a pa.s.sing thought, and we are not at all sure.

045.033 Y: Then will appear to them the evil (fruits) of what they did, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!

P: And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that which they used to deride will befall them.

S: And the evil (consequences) of what they did shall become manifest to them and that which they mocked shall encompa.s.s them.

045.034 Y: It will also be said: "This Day We will forget you as ye forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! and your abode is the Fire, and no helpers have ye!"

P: And it will be said: This day We forget you, even as ye forgot the meeting of this your day; and your habitation is the Fire, and there is none to help you.

S: And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you neglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode is the fire, and there are not for you any helpers:

045.035 Y: "This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest, and the life of the world deceived you:" (From) that Day, therefore, they shall not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace.

P: This, forasmuch as ye made the revelations of Allah a jest, and the life of the world beguiled you. Therefor this day they come not forth from thence, nor can they make amends.

S: That is because you took the communications of Allah for a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall they be granted goodwill.

045.036 Y: Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth,- Lord and Cherisher of all the Worlds!

P: Then praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, the Lord of the Worlds.

S: Therefore to Allah is due (all) praise, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.

045.037 Y: To Him be glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!

P: And unto Him (alone) belongeth Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

S: And to Him belongs greatness in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
