35-9.For God nothing is hidden in the earth or in the heavens.

He is the One who pictures you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god but Him, the Noble, the Wise.

He is the One who sent down to you the scripture, from which there are law giving verses; they are the essence of the Scripture; and others which seem similar to each other. As for those who have disease in their hearts, they will follow what seems similar of it seeking to confuse, and seeking to derive an interpretation. But none know its interpretation except God. And those who are well founded in knowledge say ?We believe in it, all is from our Lord.? And none will remember except the people of understanding.

?Our Lord, do not make our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us from You a mercy; You are the Grantor.?

?Our Lord, You will gather the people for a day in which there is no doubt; God does not break His appointment.?

...which reminded me of a question I had a while ago. This how the PM translation reads...

He is the One who sent down to you the Scripture, from which there are firm verses; they are the essence of the Scripture; and others which are similar to each other. As for those who have disease in their hearts, they will follow what is similar from it seeking to confuse, and seeking to derive an interpretation. But none know its interpretation except God and those who are well founded in knowledge. They say ?We believe in it, all is from our Lord.? And none will remember except the people of understanding.

I think the position of the 'full stop' between knowledge and They say, changes the meaning of this sentence. I'll explain. The first one goes like this...
But none know its interpretation except God. And those who are well founded in knowledge say
This one tells me that - God knows it's interpratation STOP. The ones who are well founded in knowledge say we believe...

while this one says to me...
But none know its interpretation except God and those who are well founded in knowledge.
... that God AND the people of knowledge know it's interpretation

According to me - big difference. What do you guys think? )
