Surah 6. Al-An'am, Ayah 20
| الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمُ ۘ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'alladhena 'aataynaa -hum al- kitaab yacrifon -hu ka-maa yacrifon abnaa' -hum 'alladhena khasiro anfus -hum fa- hum laa yu'minon |
| Pickthall | : | Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognize (this Revelation) as they recognize their sons. Those who ruin their own souls will not believe. |
| Asad | : | They unto whom We have vouchsafed revelation aforetime know this14 as they know their own children; yet those [of them] who have squandered their own selves - it is they who refuse to believe. |
| Malik | : | Those to whom We have given the Book know this fact as they know their own sons. In fact those who have lost their souls, will not believe. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Those to whom We have given the Book know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own souls refuse therefore to believe. 850 |

oneness, which is stressed in all authentic scriptures.

Note - 850Cf. ii. 146 and n. 151. In both passages the pronoun
translated "this" may mean "him" and refer to Muhammad
the Apostle of God, as some commentators think.
