Sura: 6 - al-An`aam (The Cattle) Ayat: 125 فَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ ۖ وَمَنْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِي السَّمَاءِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (125
"پس خدا جسے ہدایت دینا چاہتا ہے اس کے سینے کو اسلام کے لئے کشادہ کردیتا ہے اور جس کو گمراہی میں چھوڑنا چاہتا ہے اس کے سینے کو ایسا تنگ اور دشوار گزار بنادیتا ہے جیسے آسمان کی طرف بلند ہورہا ہو ,وہ اسی طرح بے ایمانوں پر ان کی کثافت کو مسّلط کردیتاہے"
[YOUSAF ALI] Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.
[ PICKTHAL ] And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom unto the Surrender, and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray, He maketh his bosom close and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent. Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon those who believe not.
[ SHAKIR ] Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah intends that He would guide him aright, He expands his breast for Islam, and (for) whomsoever He intends that He should cause him to err, He makes his breast strait and narrow as though he were ascending upwards; thus does Allah lay uncleanness on those who do not believe.
Sura: 22 - al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage) Ayat: 31 حُنَفَاءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِي بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ (31
اللہ کے لئے مخلص اور باطل سے کترا کر رہو اور کسی طرح کا شرک اختیار نہ کرو کہ جو کسی کو اس کا شریک بناتا ہے وہ گویا آسمان سے گر پڑتا ہے اور اسے پرندہ اچک لیتا ہے یا ہوا کسی دور دراز جگہ پر لے جاکر پھینک دیتی ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Being true in faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him: if anyone assigns partners to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far-distant place.
[ PICKTHAL ] Turning unto Allah (only), not ascribing partners unto Him; for whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky and the birds had snatched him or the wind had blown him to a far-off place.
[ SHAKIR ] Being upright for Allah, not associating aught with Him and whoever associates (others) with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from on high, then the birds snatch him away or the wind carries him off to a far-distant place.
