For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided." Muhsin Khan Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Each one (believer and disbeliever, etc.) is waiting, so wait you too, and you shall know who are they that are on the Straight and Even Path (i.e. Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism), and who are they that have let themselves be guided (on the Right Path). Yusuf Ali Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received Guidance." Dr. Ghali Say, "Everyone is awaiting, so await. Then you will soon know who are the companions on the level Path and who are guided." |
