How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 17:19 — 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 →

But whoever desires the Hereafter, and pursues it as it should be pursued, while he is a believer; these—their effort will be appreciated

And whoso desireth the Hereafter and striveth for it with the effort necessary, being a believer; for such, their effort findeth favour (with their Lord)
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
But whoso chooseth the next life, and striveth after it as it should be striven for, being also a believer, - these! their striving shall be grateful to God
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
But whoso desires the next life, and strives for it and is a believer - these, their striving shall be gratefully received
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and whoever he intended the last and he hastened for it her effort and He one who trusts so those he was their effort appreciated

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.
