3.Sura al-Imran,

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:



أَفَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَ اللّهِ كَمَن بَاء بِسَخْطٍ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَمَأْوَاهُ جَهَنَّمُ ...

3: 162. Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah like the man who draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and whose abode is in Hell?

... وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿١٦٢﴾

A woeful refuge!

هُمْ دَرَجَاتٌ عِندَ اللّهِ واللّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٦٣﴾

163. They are in varying grades in the sight of Allah;

and Allah sees well all that they do.

3: 162

Pickthall Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as one who hath earned condemnation from Allah, whose habitation is the Fire, a hapless journey's end?

3: 163

Asad They are on [entirely] different levels in the sight of God: God sees all that they do.

Pickthall There are degrees (of grace and reprobation) with Allah, and Allah is Seer of what ye do.

Transliteration Hum daraja_tun 'indalla_h(i), walla_hu basirum bima_ ya'malu_n(a).
