How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 25:55 — 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 yet, instead of God, they serve what neither profits them nor harms them. The disbeliever has always turned his back on his Lord
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Yet beside God do they worship what can neither help nor hurt them: and the Infidel is Satan's helper against his Lord
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Yet they worship beside God what can neither profit them nor harm them; but he who misbelieves in his Lord backs up (the devil)
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and they serve from apart from Allah what not he benefits them and not he harms them and he was the one who rejects upon his Sustainer a backer

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.
