In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 17:32 — 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 →
And do not come near adultery. It is immoral, and an evil wayAnd come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil wayHave nought to do with adultery; for it is a foul thing and an evil wayAnd draw not near to fornication; verily, it is ever an abomination, and evil is the way thereofand not you draw near the adultery indeed he was indecency and he was evil pathGenerated 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.
