ife, and set for him
a light wherein he walketh among men, as him whose similitude is in
utter darkness whence he cannot emerge? Thus is their conduct made
fairseeming for the disbelievers.

S: Is he who was dead then We raised him to life and made for him a
light by which he walks among the people, like him whose likeness is
that of one in utter darkness whence he cannot come forth? Thus what
they did was made fair seeming to the unbelievers.

Y: Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot
(and burrow) therein: but they only plot against their own souls, and
they perceive it not.

P: And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones,
that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves,
though they perceive not.

S: And thus have We made in every town the great ones to be its guilty
ones, that they may plan therein; and they do not plan but against
their own souls, and they do not perceive.

what they planned.

Y: Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their
breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh
their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the
skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to

P: And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom
