Y: "Serve ye what ye will besides him." Say: "Truly, those in loss are
those who lose their own souls and their People on the Day of Judgment:
Ah! that is indeed the (real and) evident Loss!"

P: Then worship what ye will beside Him. Say: The losers will be those
who lose themselves and their housefolk on the Day of Resurrection. Ah,
that will be the manifest loss!

S: Serve then what you like besides Him. Say: The losers surely are
those who shall have lost themselves and their families on the day of
resurrection; now surely that is the clear loss.

fire). With this doth Allah appall His bondmen. O My bondmen, therefor
fear Me!

them; with that Allah makes His servants to fear, so be careful of
(your duty to) Me, O My servants!

give good tidings (O Muhammad) to My bondmen

turn to Allah, they shall have good news, therefore give good news to
My servants,

those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued
with understanding.

Allah guideth, and such are men of understanding.

S: Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are
they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of
understanding.
