If there were in them gods other than God, they would have gone to ruin. So glory be to God, Lord of the Throne, beyond what they allege
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him)
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Had there been in either heaven or earth gods besides God, both surely had gone to ruin. But glory be to God, the Lord of the throne, beyond what they utter
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Were there in both (heaven and earth) gods beside God, both would surely have been corrupted. Celebrated then be the praise of God, the Lord of the throne, above what they ascribe
