I will take of Thy
servants an appointed portion:
004.119
Y: "I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will
order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature
created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes Satan for a friend,
hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.
P: And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires
in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle'
ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's
creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily
a loser and his loss is manifest.
S: And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain
desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears of the cattle,
and most certainly I will bid them so that they shall alter Allah's
creation; and whoever takes the Shaitan for a guardian rather than
Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest loss.
004.120
Y: Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but
Satan's promises are nothing but deception.
P: He promiseth them and stirreth up desires in them, and Satan
promiseth them only to beguile.
S: He gives them promises and excites vain desires in them; and the
Shaitan does not promise them but to deceive.
004.121
Y: They (his dupes) will have their dwelling in Hell, and from it they
will find no way of escape.
P: For such, their habitation will be hell, and they will find no refuge
therefrom.
S: These are they whose abode is hell, and they shall not find any
refuge from it.
004.122
Y: But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness,- we shall soon
admit them to gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,-to dwell therein
for ever. Allah's promise is the truth, and whose word can be truer
than Allah's?
P: But as for those who believe and do good works We shall bring them
into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for
ever. It is a promise from Allah in truth; and who can be more truthful
than Allah in utterance?
S: And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will make them enter
into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein for ever; (it
is) a promise of Allah, true (indeed), and who is truer of word than
Allah?
004.123
Y: Not your desires, nor those of the People of the Book (can prevail):
whoever works evil, will be requited accordingly. Nor will he find,
besides Allah, any protector
