How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 22:8 — 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 among the people is he who argues about God without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture

And among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving light
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
A man there is who disputeth about God without knowledge or guidance or enlightening Book
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
And amongst men is one who wrangles about God without knowledge or guidance or an illuminating book
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and from the people who he disputes in Allah by other than knowledge and not guidance and not writing of illuminating

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.
