Yusuf Ali:	The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of eachother, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah,Allah is swift in calling to account.

Pickthal:	And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And sayunto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not: Have ye(too) surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided,and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to convey the message (untothem). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.
Shakir:	But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myself entirely to Allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been given the Book and the unlearned people: Do you submit yourselves? So if they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message and Allah sees the servants.
Yusuf Ali:	So if they dispute with thee, say: "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the People of theBook and to those who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?"

Ayah: 24
Arabic:	ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلاَّ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ وَغَرَّهُمْ فِي دِينِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ
Pickthal:	That is because they say: The Fire will not touch us save for a certain number of days. That which they used to invent hath deceived themregarding their religion.
Shakir:	This is because they say: The fire shall not touch us but for a few days; and what they have forged deceives them in the matter of their religion.
Yusuf Ali:	This because they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days": For their forgeries deceive them as to their ownreligion.

Ayah: 25
Arabic:	فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جَمَعْنَاهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ لاَّ رَيْبَ فِيهِ وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ
Pickthal:	How (will it be with them) when We have brought them all together to a Day of which there is no doubt, when every soul will be paidin full what it hath earned, and they will not be wronged.
Shakir:	Then how will it be when We shall gather them together on a day about which there is no doubt, and every soul shall be fully paid what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly?

Ayah: 26
Arabic:	قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَاء وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَاء وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَاء وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَاء بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَىَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Pickthal:	Say: O Allah! Owner of Sovereignty! Thou givest sovereignty unto whom Thou wilt, and Thou withdrawest sovereignty from whom Thou wilt.Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt. In Thy handis the good. Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.
Shakir:	Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest in Thine hand is the good; surety, Thou hast power over all things.
Yusuf Ali:	Say: "O Allah! Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest:Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whomThou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hastpower.
