The Holy Quran, tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934]
18. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo Allaha waltanthur nafsun ma qaddamat lighadin waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha khabeerun bima taAAmaloona
18. O ye who believe!
Fear God,
And let every soul look
To what (provision) he has
Sent forth for the morrow.
Yea, fear God:
For God is well-acquainted
With (all) that ye do.
19. Wala takoonoo kaallatheena nasoo Allaha faansahum anfusahum ola-ika humu alfasiqoona
19. And be ye not like
Those who forgot God;
And He made them forget
Their own souls! Such
Are the rebellious transgressors!
20. La yastawee as-habu alnnari waas-habu aljannati as-habu aljannati humu alfa-izoona
20. Not equal are
The Companions of the Fire
And the Companions
Of the Garden:
It is the Companions
Of the Garden,
That will achieve Felicity.
21. Law anzalna hatha alqur-ana AAala jabalin laraaytahu khashiAAan mutasaddiAAan min khashyati Allahi watilka al-amthalu nadribuha lilnnasi laAAallahum yatafakkaroona
21. Had We sent down
This Qur-ān on a mountain,
Verily, thou wouldst have seen
It humble itself and cleave
Asunder for fear of God.
Such are the similitudes
Which We propound to men,
That they may reflect.
