How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 17:79 — 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 keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
And some part of the night awake for it, a largess for thee. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a praised estate
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
And watch unto it in the night: this shall be an excess in service: it may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a glorious station
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
And for the night, watch thou therein as an extra service. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a laudable station
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and from the night keep vigil in it an additional act for you perhaps that he raises up you your Sustainer station praised

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.
