Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Allah will not leave you, O People who
Believe (the Muslims) in your present state, till He separates the
evil from the good; and it does not befit Allah's Majesty to give you,
the common men, knowledge of the hidden, but Allah does chose from His
Noble Messengers whomever He wills; so believe in Allah and His Noble Messengers;
and if you believe and practice piety, for you is a great reward. (Allah
gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet - peace and blessings
be upon him.)
Yusuf Ali:
Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which ye are now, until He separates what is evil from what is good nor will He disclose to you the secrets of the Unseen. But He chooses of His Messengers (For the purpose) whom He pleases. So believe in Allah. And His messengers: And if ye believe and do right, ye have a reward without measure.
Pickthal:
It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.
