Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
If you have been struck by some misfortune,
so they (the disbelievers) too have been struck earlier with the
same misfortune; these are the days in which We have allotted turns to
people; and so that Allah may make known the believers and may bestow martyrdom
to some of you; and Allah does not befriend the unjust.
Yusuf Ali:
If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks Martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.
Pickthal:
If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.
