How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 14:27 — 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 →

God gives firmness to those who believe, with the firm word, in this life, and in the Hereafter. And God leads the wicked astray. God does whatever He wills

Those who believe shall God stablish by his steadfast word both in this life and in that which is to come: but the wicked shall He cause to err: God doth his pleasure
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
God answers those who believe with the sure word in this world's life and in the next; but God leads the wrong-doers astray; for God does what He will
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
he makes firm Allah those whom they trusted in by the word of the firm in the life the nearer life and in the last and he leads astray Allah the wrongdoers and he does Allah what he wills

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.
