How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 16:107 — 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 · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
That is because they have chosen the life of the world rather than the Hereafter, and because Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
This, because they have loved this present life beyond the next, and because God guideth not the unbelievers
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
That is because they preferred the love of this world's life to the next;- but, verily, God guides not the unbelieving people
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
that by that they preferred the life the nearer life upon the last and that Allah not he guides the people the one who rejects

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.
