M.Pickthall
19. Lo! religion with Allah (is) The Surrender (to His will and guidance). Those who
(formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through
transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find
that) Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.
Yusuf Ali
19. The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His will): nor did the people of
the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other after knowledge had come
to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah Allah is swift in calling to account.
M.Pickthall
20. And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to
Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have received the
Scripture and those who read not: Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then
truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to
convey the message (unto them). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.
Yusuf Ali
20. So if they dispute with thee say: "I have submitted my whole self to Allah and so
have those who follow me." And say to the people of the Book and to those who are
unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do they are in right guidance
but if they turn back thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are
(all) His servants.
M.Pickthall
21. Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slay the Prophets wrongfully,
and slay those of mankind who enjoin equity: promise them a painful doom.
Yusuf Ali
21. As to those who deny the Signs of Allah and in defiance of right slay the Prophets
and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind announce to them a grievous penalty.
M.Pickthall
22. Those are they whose works have failed in the world and the Hereafter; and they have
no helpers.
Yusuf Ali
22. They are those whose works will bear no fruit in this world and in the Hereafter nor
will they have anyone to help.
M.Pickthall
23. Hast thou not seen how those who have received the Scripture invoke the Scripture
of Allah (in their disputes) that it may judge between them; then a faction of them
turn away, being opposed (to it)?
Yusuf Ali
23. Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who have been given a portion of the
Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah to settle their dispute but a party of
them turn back and decline (the arbitration).
M.Pickthall
24. That is because they say: The Fire will not touch us save for a certain number
of days. That which they used to invent hath deceived them regarding their religion.
Yusuf Ali
24. This because they say: "The fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days";
for their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.
M.Pickthall
25. How (will it be with them) when We have brought them all together to a Day of
which there is no doubt, when every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned,
and they will not be wronged.
Yusuf Ali
25. But how (will they fare) when We gather them together against a day about which
there is no doubt and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned without
(favor or injustice)?
