Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
"And do not believe in anyone except him
who follows your religion"; say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and
blessings be upon him), "Only Allah's guidance is the true guidance"
- (so why not believe in it) if someone has been given similar to
what was given to you, or if someone may be able to evidence it against
you before your Lord; say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings
be upon him), "Undoubtedly the munificence lies only in Allah's hand;
He may bestow upon whomever He wills; and Allah is Most Capable, All Knowing."
Yusuf Ali:
"And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say: "True guidance is the Guidance of Allah: (Fear ye) Lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) Like unto that which was sent unto you? or that those (Receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your Lord?" Say: "All bounties are in the hand of Allah: He granteth them to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."
Pickthal:
And believe not save in one who followeth your religion - Say (O Muhammad): Lo! the guidance is Allah's Guidance - that anyone is given the like of that which was given unto you or that they may argue with you in the presence of their Lord. Say (O Muhammad): Lo! the bounty is in Allah's hand. He bestoweth it on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
