S: And if We please We would have made you know them so that you would certainly have recognized them by their marks and most certainly you can recognize them by the intent of (their) speech; and Allah knows your deeds.

P: And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and the steadfast, and till We test your record.

S: And most certainly We will try you until We have known those among you who exert themselves hard, and the patient, and made your case manifest.

047.032 Y: Those who reject Allah, hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and resist the Messenger, after Guidance has been clearly shown to them, will not injure Allah in the least, but He will make their deeds of no effect.

P: Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless.

S: Surely those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way and oppose the Messenger after that guidance has become clear to them cannot harm Allah in any way, and He will make null their deeds.

S: O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and do not make your deeds of no effect.

047.034 Y: Those who reject Allah, and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, then die rejecting Allah,- Allah will not forgive them.

P: Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and then die disbelievers, Allah surely will not pardon them.

047.035 Y: Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.

S: And be not slack so as to cry for peace and you have the upper hand, and Allah is with you, and He will not bring your deeds to naught.

047.036 Y: The life of this world is but play and amus.e.m.e.nt: and if ye believe and guard against Evil, He will grant you your recompense, and will not ask you (to give up) your possessions.

P: The life of the world is but a sport and a pastime. And if ye believe and ward off (evil). He will give you your wages, and will not ask of you your wordly wealth.

S: The life of this world is only idle sport and play, and if you believe and guard (against evil) He will give you your rewards, and will not ask of you your possessions.

047.037 Y: If He were to ask you for all of them, and press you, ye would covetously withhold, and He would bring out all your ill-feeling.

P: If He should ask it of you and importune you, ye would h.o.a.rd it, and He would bring to light your (secret) hates.

S: If He should ask you for it and urge you, you will be n.i.g.g.ardly, and He will bring forth your malice.

047.038 Y: Behold, ye are those invited to spend (of your substance) in the Way of Allah: But among you are some that are n.i.g.g.ardly. But any who are n.i.g.g.ardly are so at the expense of their own souls. But Allah is free of all wants, and it is ye that are needy. If ye turn back (from the Path), He will subst.i.tute in your stead another people; then they would not be like you!

P: Lo! ye are those who are called to spend in the way of Allah, yet among you there are some who h.o.a.rd. And as for him who h.o.a.rdeth, he h.o.a.rdeth only from his soul. And Allah is the Rich, and ye are the poor. And if ye turn away He will exchange you for some other folk, and they will not be the likes of you.

S: Behold! you are those who are called upon to spend in Allah's way, but among you are those who are n.i.g.g.ardly, and whoever is n.i.g.g.ardly is n.i.g.g.ardly against his own soul; and Allah is Self-sufficient and you have need (of Him), and if you turn back He will bring in your place another people, then they will not be like you.
