How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 11:118 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →

Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Had thy Lord pleased he would have made mankind of one religion: but those only to whom thy Lord hath granted his mercy will cease to differ
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Had thy Lord pleased, He would have made men one nation; but they will not cease to differ
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
if he willed your Sustainer he made the people community a single one and not they cease differings

Generated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
