| إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ |
| Transliteration | : | 'illaa 'alladhena 'aamano wa- camilo as.- s.aalih.aat wa- tawaas.aw bi- al- h.aqq wa- tawaas.aw bi- as.- s.abr |
| Pickthall | : | Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance. |
| Asad | : | unless he be of those2 who attain to faith, and do good works, and enjoin upon one another the keeping to truth, and enjoin upon one another patience in adversity. |
| Malik | : | except those who believe and do good deeds; exhort one another to the truth and exhort one another to patience. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Except such as have Faith and do righteous deeds and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth and of Patience and Constancy. 6264 6265 |

Note - 6264Faith is his armour, which wards off the wounds of the
material world; and his righteous life is his positive
contribution to spiritual ascent.

Note - 6265If he lived only for himself, he would not fulfil his
whole duty. Whatever good he has, especially in moral and
spiritual life, he must spread among his brethren, so
that they may see the Truth and stand by it in patient
hope and unshaken constancy amidst all the storm and
stress of outer life. For he and they will then have
attained Peace within.
