˹O Prophet!˺ If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah’s Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but misjudging.1

Indeed, your Lord knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

So eat only of what is slaughtered in Allah’s Name if you truly believe in His revelations.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned,1 if you are believers in His verses [i.e., revealed law].
— Saheeh International
Why should you not eat of what is slaughtered in Allah’s Name when He has already explained to you what He has forbidden to you—except when compelled by necessity? Many ˹deviants˺ certainly mislead others by their whims out of ignorance. Surely your Lord knows the transgressors best.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled.1 And indeed do many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.

Shun all sin—open and secret. Indeed, those who commit sin will be punished for what they earn.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And leave [i.e., desist from] what is apparent of sin and what is concealed thereof. Indeed, those who earn [blame for] sin will be recompensed for that which they used to commit.
— Saheeh International
Do not eat of what is not slaughtered in Allah’s Name. For that would certainly be ˹an act of˺ disobedience. Surely the devils whisper to their ˹human˺ associates to argue with you.1 If you were to obey them, then you ˹too˺ would be polytheists.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him].1

Can those who had been dead, to whom We gave life and a light with which they can walk among people, be compared to those in complete darkness from which they can never emerge?1 That is how the misdeeds of the disbelievers have been made appealing to them.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And is one who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness, never to emerge therefrom? Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing.

And so We have placed in every society the most wicked to conspire in it. Yet they plot only against themselves, but they fail to perceive it.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And thus We have placed within every city the greatest of its criminals to conspire therein. But they conspire not except against themselves, and they perceive [it] not.

Whenever a sign comes to them, they say, “We will never believe until we receive what Allah’s messengers received.” Allah knows best where to place His message. The wicked will soon be overwhelmed by humiliation from Allah and a severe punishment for their evil plots.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And when a sign comes to them, they say, "Never will we believe until we are given like that which was given to the messengers of Allah." Allah is most knowing of where [i.e., with whom] He places His message. There will afflict those who committed crimes debasement before Allah and severe punishment for what they used to conspire.

Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam.1 But whoever He wills to leave astray, He makes their chest tight and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky. This is how Allah dooms those who disbelieve.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
So whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islām; and whoever He wants to send astray1 - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe.
— Saheeh International
That is your Lord’s Path—perfectly straight. We have already made the signs clear to those who are mindful.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And this is the path of your Lord, [leading] straight. We have detailed the verses for a people who remember.
