And hold firmly to the rope of Allah1 and do not be divided. Remember Allah’s favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you—by His grace—became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit and He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be ˹rightly˺ guided.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

And hold firmly to the rope1 of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

Let there be a group among you who call ˹others˺ to goodness, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil—it is they who will be successful.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong,1 and those will be the successful.

And do not be like those who split ˹into sects˺ and differed after clear proofs had come to them. It is they who will suffer a tremendous punishment.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment

On that Day some faces will be bright while others gloomy. To the gloomy-faced it will be said, “Did you disbelieve after having believed? So taste the punishment for your disbelief.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."

— Saheeh International

As for the bright-faced, they will be in Allah’s mercy, where they will remain forever.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

But as for those whose faces turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allah. They will abide therein eternally.

These are Allah’s revelations We recite to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth. And Allah desires no injustice to ˹His˺ creation.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

These are the verses of Allah. We recite them to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth; and Allah wants no injustice to the worlds [i.e., His creatures].

To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allah will [all] matters be returned.

You are the best community ever raised for humanity—you encourage good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book believed, it would have been better for them. Some of them are faithful, but most are rebellious.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.

They can never inflict harm on you, except a little annoyance.1 But if they meet you in battle, they will flee and they will have no helpers.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

They will not harm you except for [some] annoyance. And if they fight you, they will show you their backs [i.e., retreat]; then they will not be aided.

— Saheeh International

They will be stricken with disgrace wherever they go, unless they are protected by a covenant with Allah or a treaty with the people. They have invited the displeasure of Allah and have been branded with misery for rejecting Allah’s revelations and murdering ˹His˺ prophets unjustly. This is ˹a fair reward˺ for their disobedience and violations.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

They have been put under humiliation [by Allah] wherever they are overtaken, except for a rope [i.e., covenant] from Allah and a rope [i.e., treaty] from the people [i.e., the Muslims].1 And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in [i.e., rejected] the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.

— Saheeh International

Yet they are not all alike: there are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite Allah’s revelations throughout the night, prostrating ˹in prayer˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community1 standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].
