In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 23:34 — 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 →
If you obey a human being like yourselves, then you will be losersIf ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losersAnd if ye obey a man like yourselves, then ye will surely be undoneand drinks of what ye drink; and if ye obey a mortal like yourselves, verily, ye will then be surely losersand if indeed you obeyed human being your like indeed you then losersGenerated 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.
