Qarib: They shall enter the Gardens of Eden, under which rivers flow, and there they shall have all they desire. So Allah recompenses the cautious,
Sarwar: They will be admitted into the gardens of Eden wherein steams flow and they will have therein whatever they want. This is how God will reward the pious ones.
Shakir: The gardens of perpetuity, they shall enter them, rivers flowing beneath them; they shall have in them what they please. Thus does Allah reward those who guard (against evil),
Pickthall: Gardens of Eden which they enter, underneath which rivers flow, wherein they have what they will. Thus Allah repayeth those who ward off (evil),
Yusufali: Gardens of Eternity which they will enter: beneath them flow (pleasant) rivers: they will have therein all that they wish: thus doth Allah reward the righteous,-

Qarib: whom the angels take while they are goodly, saying: 'Peace be on you. Enter Paradise for what you were doing. '
Sarwar: They will be received by the angels of mercy with the greeting, "Peace be with you. Enter Paradise as a reward for your good deeds."
Shakir: Those whom the angels cause to die in a good state, saying: Peace be on you: enter the garden for what you did
Pickthall: Those whom the angels cause to die (when they are) good. They say: Peace be unto you! Enter the Garden because of what ye used to do.
Yusufali: (Namely) those whose lives the angels take in a state of purity, saying (to them), "Peace be on you; enter ye the Garden, because of (the good) which ye did (in the world)."

Qarib: Are they looking for the angels to come down or the order of your Lord to come? As such did those who have gone before them. Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves,
Sarwar: Are they (the disbelievers) waiting for the angels and the decree of your Lord to be fulfilled before they believe? The people who lived before them had also done the same thing. God did not do injustice to them, but they wronged themselves.
Shakir: They do not wait aught but that the angels should come to them or that the commandment of your Lord should come to pass. Thus did those before them; and Allah was not unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves
Pickthall: Await they aught say that the angels should come unto them or thy Lord's command should come to pass? Even so did those before them. Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves,
Yusufali: Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.

Qarib: so the evil things which they did coiled around them, and they were encompassed by that they mocked.
Sarwar: The evil consequences of their deeds afflicted them and they were surrounded by what they had mocked.
Shakir: So the evil (consequences) of what they did shall afflict them and that which they mocked shall encompass them
Pickthall: So that the evils of what they did smote them, and that which they used to mock surrounded them.
Yusufali: But the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and that very (Wrath) at which they had scoffed hemmed them in.

Qarib: The idolaters say: 'Had Allah willed, neither we nor our fathers would have worshipped anything other than Him, nor would we have forbidden anything without Him', as such did those before them. Yet what should Messengers do but give a clear deliverance?
Sarwar: The pagans had said, "Had God wanted we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, nor would our fathers. We would not have forbidden anything without (a command from) Him." The same thing was said by the people who lived before them. Are the Messengers expected to do more than just preach?
Shakir: And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had pleased, we would not have served anything besides Allah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did those before them; is then aught incumbent upon the messengers except a plain delivery (of the message)?
Pickthall: And the idolaters say: Had Allah willed, we had not worshipped aught beside Him, we and our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught without (command from) Him. Even so did those before them. Are the messengers charged with aught save plain conveyance (of the message)?
Yusufali: The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?

Qarib: We sent a Messenger to every nation, saying: 'Worship Allah and avoid the idols. ' Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some justly disposed to error. Travel in the land and see what was the end of those who belied (the Revelation and the prophets)!
Sarwar: To every nation We sent a Messenger who told its people, "Worship God and stay away from satan." Some of them were guided by God and others were doomed to go astray. Travel through the land and see how terrible was the end for those who rejected the truth!
Shakir: And certainly We raised in every nation a messenger saying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there were some of them whom Allah guided and there were others against whom error was due; therefore travel in the land, then see what was the end of the rejecters
Pickthall: And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger, (proclaiming): Serve Allah and shun false gods. Then some of them (there were) whom Allah guided, and some of them (there were) upon whom error had just hold. Do but travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence for the deniers!
Yusufali: For We assuredly sent amongst every People a messenger, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).

Qarib: Though you are ever so eager to guide them, Allah will not guide those who mislead (others). There shall be none to help them.
Sarwar: (Muhammad), even though you have a strong desire to guide them, be sure that God will not guide those who have gone astray and no one will be able to help them.
Shakir: If you desire for their guidance, yet surely Allah does not guide him who leads astray, nor shall they have any helpers
Pickthall: Even if thou (O Muhammad) desirest their right guidance, still Allah assuredly will not guide him who misleadeth. Such have no helpers.
Yusufali: If thou art anxious for their guidance, yet Allah guideth not such as He leaves to stray, and there is none to help them.

Qarib: They solemnly swear by Allah that Allah will never raise the dead to life. No, surely the promise of Allah is binding upon Him, though most people do not know.
Sarwar: They strongly swear by God that God will not bring the dead to life. God's promise (of the Resurrection) will certainly come true but many people do not know.
Shakir: And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is a promise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do not know;
Pickthall: And they swear by Allah their most binding oaths (that) Allah will not raise up him who dieth. Nay, but it is a promise (binding) upon Him in truth, but most of mankind know not,
Yusufali: They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that Allah will not raise up those who die: Nay, but it is a promise (binding) on Him in truth: but most among mankind realise it not.

Qarib: This is in order that He may make clear to them that which they differed upon, and in order that those who disbelieve might know that they were indeed lying.
Sarwar: (Through the resurrection) God wants to make a clear distinction between right and wrong and make the unbelievers know that they were liars.
Shakir: So that He might make manifest to them that about which they differ, and that those who disbelieve might know that they were liars
Pickthall: That He may explain unto them that wherein they differ, and that those who disbelieved may know that they were liars.
Yusufali: (They must be raised up), in order that He may manifest to them the truth of that wherein they differ, and that the rejecters of Truth may realise that they had indeed (surrendered to) Falsehood.

Qarib: When We decree a thing, We only say: 'Be, ' and it is.
Sarwar: When We want to bring something into existence, Our command is, "Exist," and it comes into existence.
Shakir: Our word for a thing when We intend it, is only that We say to it, Be, and it is
Pickthall: And Our word unto a thing, when We intend it, is only that We say unto it: Be! and it is.
Yusufali: For to anything which We have willed, We but say the word, "Be", and it is.
