How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 27:43 — 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 →

Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
And (all) that she was wont to worship instead of Allah hindered her, for she came of disbelieving folk
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
But the gods she had worshipped instead of God had led her astray: for she was of a people who believe not
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
But that which she served beside God turned her away; verily, she was of the unbelieving people
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and he barred what he was he serves from apart from Allah indeed she he was from people one who rejects

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.
