M.Pickthall
122. Is he who was dead and We have raised him unto life, and set for him a light
wherein he walketh among men, as him whose similitude is in utter darkness whence
he cannot emerge? Thus is their conduct made fad seeming for the disbelievers.
Yusuf Ali
122. Can he who was dead to whom We gave life and a Light whereby he can walk
amongst men be like him who is in the depths of darkness from which he can never
come out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing.
M.Pickthall
123. And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones, that they
should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves, though they perceive not.
Yusuf Ali
123. Thus have We placed leaders in every town its wicked men to plot (and burrow)
therein: but they only plot against their own souls and they perceive it not.
M.Pickthall
124. And when a token cometh unto them, they say: We will not believe till we are
given that which Allah's messengers are given. Allah knoweth best with whom to
place His message. Humiliation from Allah and heavy punishment will smite the
guilty for their scheming.
Yusuf Ali
124. When there comes to them a Sign (from Allah) they say: "We shall not believe
until we receive one (exactly) like those received by Allah's apostles." Allah
knoweth best where (and how) to carry out His mission. Soon will the wicked be
overtaken by humiliation before Allah and a severe punishment for all their plots.
M.Pickthall
125. And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom unto the
Surrender, and whomsoever it is His will to send astray, He maketh his bosom close
and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent. Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon
those who believe not.
Yusuf Ali
125. Those whom Allah (in His Plan) willeth to guide He openeth their breast to
Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying He maketh their breast close and
constricted as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the
penalty on those who refuse to believe.
M.Pickthall
126. This is the path of thy Lord, a straight path. We have detailed Our revelations
for a people who take heed.
Yusuf Ali
126. This is the way of thy Lord leading straight: We have detailed the Signs for
those who receive admonition.
M.Pickthall
127. For theme is the abode of peace with their Lord. He be their Protecting Friend
because of what they used to do.
Yusuf Ali
127. For them will be a Home of Peace in the presence of their Lord: He will be their
Friend because they practiced (righteousness).
