037:031 Khan          "So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment).

037:031 Maulana     So the word of our Lord has proved true against us: we shall surely taste.

037:031 Pickthal      Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).

037:032 Maulana     We led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.

037:032 Pickthal      Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

037:032 Rashad       "We misled you, only because we were astray."

037:032 Sarwar       We mislead you and we ourselves had also gone astray."

037:032 Yusufali     "We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."

037:033

037:033 Khan          Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.

037:033 Maulana     So, that day they will be sharers in the chastisement.

037:033 Pickthal      Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

037:033 Rashad       Thus, together they will all partake of the retribution on that day.

037:140 Yusufali     When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,

037:141

037:141 Khan          He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers,

037:141 Maulana     So he shared with others but was of those cast away.

037:141 Pickthal      And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

037:141 Rashad       He rebelled and thus, he joined the losers.

037:141 Sarwar       and sailed away in a laden ship, wherein people cast lots. Because he lost, he was thrown into the water.

037:141 Shakir        So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.

037:141 Sherali       And he cast lots with the crew of the ship and was of the losers.

037:141 Yusufali     He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:

037:142

037:142 Khan          Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame.

037:142 Maulana     So the fish took him into its mouth while he was blamable.

037:142 Pickthal      And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

037:142 Rashad       Consequently, the fish swallowed him, and he was the one to blame.

037:142 Sarwar       The fish swallowed him up and he deserved (all this).

037:142 Shakir        So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself

037:142 Sherali       And the fish swallowed him while he was reproaching himself.

037:142 Yusufali     Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.

037:143 Rashad       If it were not that he resorted to meditation (on God),

037:143 Sarwar       Had he not glorified God,

037:143 Shakir        But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),

037:143 Sherali       And had he not been of those who glorify God,

037:143 Yusufali     Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,

037:144

037:144 Khan          He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

037:144 Maulana     He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised.

037:144 Pickthal      He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

037:144 Rashad       he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.

037:144 Sarwar       he would certainly have remained inside the fish until the Day of Resurrection.

037:144 Shakir        He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.

037:144 Sherali       He would, surely, have tarried in its belly till the Day of Resurrection.

037:144 Yusufali     He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.

037:145 Maulana     Then We cast him on the naked shore, while he was sick.

037:145 Pickthal      Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

037:145 Rashad       We had him thrown up into the desert, exhausted.

037:145 Sarwar       We cast him out of the fish unto dry land and he was sick.

037:145 Shakir        Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.

037:145 Sherali       Then WE cast him on a bare tract of land, and he was sick;

037:145 Yusufali     But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,

037:146

037:146 Khan          And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

037:146 Maulana     And We caused a gourd to grow up for him.

037:148 Maulana     And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.

037:148 Pickthal      And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

037:148 Rashad       They did believe, and we let them enjoy this life.

037:148 Sarwar       We sent him to a hundred thousand or more people. They believed in him so We granted them enjoyment for an appointed time.

037:148 Shakir        And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.

037:148 Yusufali     And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.

037:149

037:149 Khan          Now ask them (O Muhammad SAW): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

037:149 Maulana     Now ask them whether thy Lord has daughters and they have sons?

037:149 Pickthal      Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?

037:149 Rashad       Ask them if your Lord have daughters, while they have sons!

037:149 Sarwar       (Muhammad), ask them, "Do daughters belong to your Lord and sons to them?.

037:149 Shakir        Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.

037:149 Sherali       Now ask them whether thy Lord has daughters, whereas they have sons.

037:149 Yusufali     Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-

037:150

037:150 Khan          Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?

037:150 Maulana     Or did We create the angels females, while they witnessed?

037:150 Pickthal      Or created We the angels females while they were present?

037:150 Rashad       Did we create the angels to be females? Did they witness that?

037:150 Sarwar       Have We created the angels as females before their very eyes?.

037:151

037:151 Khan          Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

037:151 Maulana     Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:

037:151 Pickthal      Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

037:151 Rashad       Indeed, they grossly blaspheme when they say -

037:151 Sarwar       It is only because of their false invention that they say,

037:151 Shakir        Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:

037:151 Sherali       Now, surely, it is of their fabrications that they say,

037:151 Yusufali     Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

037:152

037:152 Khan          "Allah has begotten off spring or children (i.e. angels are the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!

037:152 Maulana     Allah has begotten. And truly they are liars.

037:152 Pickthal      Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

037:152 Rashad       "GOD has begotten a son." Indeed, they are liars.

037:152 Sarwar       'God has begotten a son.' They are certainly liars.

037:152 Shakir        Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.

037:152 Sherali       `ALLAH has begotten children;' and they are certainly liars.

037:152 Yusufali     "Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!

037:153

037:153 Khan          Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

037:153 Maulana     Has He preferred daughters to sons?

037:153 Pickthal      (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.

037:155 Rashad       Why do you not take heed?

037:155 Sarwar       Do you not understand?.

037:155 Shakir        Will you not then mind?

037:155 Sherali       Will you not take heed?

037:155 Yusufali     Will ye not then receive admonition?

037:158

037:158 Khan          And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts).

037:158 Maulana     And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn. And certainly the jinn know that they will be brought up (for judgment) --

037:158 Pickthal      And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).

037:158 Rashad       They even invented a special relationship between Him and the jinns. The jinns themselves know that they are subservient.

037:158 Sarwar       They have said that there is a relationship between Him and the jinn. The jinn certainly know that they will all be brought to suffer torment.

037:158 Shakir        And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

037:158 Sherali       And they assert a kinship between HIM and the jinn while the jinn themselves know well that they will be brought before ALLAH for judgment.

037:158 Yusufali     And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!

037:176 Shakir        What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?

037:176 Sherali       Is it then Our punishment that they seek to hasten on?

037:176 Yusufali     Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
