In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 17:48 — 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 →
Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a waySee what similitudes they coin for thee, and thus are all astray, and cannot find a roadSee what likenesses they strike out for thee! But they are in error, neither can they find the pathBehold, how they strike out for you parables, and err, and cannot find the waylook how they struck for you the likeness they went astray so not they be able 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.
