S:  Then hasten on from the Place from which the people hasten on and ask the forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

002.200 Y:  So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul.  There are men who say:  “Our Lord!  Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!” but they will have no portion in the Hereafter.

P:  And when ye have completed your devotions, then remember Allah as ye remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance.  But of mankind is he who saith:  “Our Lord!  Give unto us in the world,” and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.

S:  So when you have performed your devotions, then laud Allah as you lauded your fathers, rather a greater lauding.  But there are some people who say, Our Lord! give us in the world, and they shall have no resting place.

002.201 Y:  And there are men who say:  “Our Lord!  Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!”

P:  And of them (also) is he who saith:  “Our Lord!  Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire.”

S:  And there are some among them who say:  Our Lord! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire.

002.202 Y:  To these will be allotted what they have earned; and Allah is quick in account.

P:  For them there is in store a goodly portion out of that which they have earned.  Allah is swift at reckoning.

S:  They shall have (their) portion of what they have earned, and Allah is swift in reckoning.

002.203 Y:  Celebrate the praises of Allah during the Appointed Days.  But if any one hastens to leave in two days, there is no blame on him, and if any one stays on, there is no blame on him, if his aim is to do right.  Then fear Allah, and know that ye will surely be gathered unto Him.

P:  Remember Allah through the appointed days.  Then whoso hasteneth (his departure) by two days, it is no sin for him, and whoso delayeth, it is no sin for him; that is for him who wardeth off (evil).  Be careful of your duty to Allah, and know that unto Him ye will be gathered.

S:  And laud Allah during the numbered days; then whoever hastens off in two days, there is no blame on him, and whoever remains behind, there is no blame on him, (this is) for him who guards (against evil), and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you shall be gathered together to Him.

002.204 Y:  There is the type of man whose speech about this world’s life May dazzle thee, and he calls Allah to witness about what is in his heart; yet is he the most contentious of enemies.

P:  And of mankind there is he whoso conversation on the life of this world pleaseth thee (Muhammad), and he calleth Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart; yet he is the most rigid of opponents.
