Marmaduke Pickthall, The Meaning of The Glorious Koran. An Explanatory Translation (1930)

32. And who doth greater wrong than he who telleth a lie against Allah, and denieth the truth when it reacheth him? Will not the home of disbelievers be in hell?

33. And whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein — Such are the dutiful.

34. They shall have what they will of their Lord’s bounty. That is the reward of the good:

35. That Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did, and will pay them for reward
the best they used to do.

36. Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.

37. And he whom Allah guideth, for him there can be no misleader. Is not Allah Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong)?

Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust.

39. Say: O my people! Act in your manner. I too am acting. Thus ye will come to know

40. Who it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him, and on whom there falleth everlasting doom.

41. Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them.

42. Allah receiveth (men’s) souls at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He
