How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 16:37 — 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 →

Even though you may be concerned about their guidance, God does not guide those who misguide. And they will have no saviors
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Even if thou (O Muhammad) desirest their right guidance, still Allah assuredly will not guide him who misleadeth. Such have no helpers
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
If thou art anxious for their guidance, know that God will not guide him whom He would lead astray, neither shall they have any helpers
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
If thou art ever so eager for their guidance, verily, God guides not those who go astray, nor have they any helpers
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
if you be eager upon their guidance so indeed Allah not he guides who he leads astray and not for them from one who helps

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.
