M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

11. And that some of us are good and others of us are below that: we are sects following different ways:

12. And that we know that we cannot escape Allah in the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight:

13. And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it; so whoever believes in his Lord, he should neither fear loss nor being overtaken (by disgrace):

14. And that some of us are those who submit, and some of us are the deviators; so whoever submits, these aim at the right way:

15. And as to the deviators, they are fuel of hell:

16. And that if they should keep to the (right) way, We would certainly give them to drink of abundant water,

17. So that We might try them with respect to it; and whoever turns aside from the reminder of his Lord, He will make him enter into an afflicting chastisement:

18. And that the mosques are Allah’s, therefore call not upon any one with Allah:

19. And that when the servant of Allah stood up calling upon Him, they well-nigh crowded him (to death).

Section 2

20. Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate
