M.Pickthall
22. Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded for the Surrender (unto Him), so that he
followeth a light from His Lord, (as he who disbelieveth)? Then woe unto those whose
hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah. Such are in plain error.
Yusuf Ali
22. Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam so that he has received enlightenment
from Allah (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened
against celebrating the praises of Allah! They are manifestly wandering (in error)!
M.Pickthall
23. Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent,
(wherein promises of reward are) paired (with threats of punishment), whereat doth
creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord, so that their flesh and their hearts
soften to Allah's reminder. Such is Allah's guidance, where with He guideth whom He
will. And him whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.
Yusuf Ali
23. Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful message in the form
of a Book consistent with itself (Yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects):
the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their
hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of
Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases but such as Allah leaves to stray can
have none to guide.
M.Pickthall
24. Is he then, who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the Day of
Resurrection (as he who doeth right)? And it will be said unto the wrong doers:
Taste what ye used to earn.
Yusuf Ali
24. Is then one who has to fear the brunt of the Penalty on the Day of Judgement
(and receive it) on his face (like one guarded therefrom)? It will be said to the
wrongdoers: "Taste ye (the fruits of) what ye earned!"
M.Pickthall
25. Those before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they knew not.
Yusuf Ali
25. Those before them (also) rejected (revelation) and so the Punishment came to
them from directions they did not perceive.
M.Pickthall
26. Thus Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the world, and verily
the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but know.
Yusuf Ali
26. So Allah gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life but greater is
the Punishment of the Hereafter if they only knew!
