42:17 al-laahul-ladhiy anzalal kitaaba bil Haq-qi wal miyzaan* wa maa yudriyka la'Al-las saa'Ata qariyb
Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
It is Allah Who has sent down the Book
with the truth, and the Scales of Justice; and what do you know - possibly
the Last Day could really be near!
Yusuf Ali:
It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in Truth, and the Balance (by which to weigh conduct). And what will make thee realise that perhaps the Hour is close at hand?
Pickthal:
Allah it is Who hath revealed the Scripture with truth, and the Balance. How canst thou know? It may be that the Hour is nigh.
