In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 18:12 — 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 →
Then We awakened them to know which of the two groups could better calculate the length of their stayAnd afterward We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties would best calculate the time that they had tarriedThen we awaked them that we might know which of the two parties could best reckon the space of their abidingThen we raised them up again, that we might know which of the two crews could best calculate the time of their tarryingthen We raised up We know which the faction better at counting for what they remained a spanGenerated 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.
