ٱلدُّعَآءَ

You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call if they turn their backs and flee

Lo! thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee

Thou shalt not make the dead to hear; neither shalt thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn away backward

Verily, thou canst not make the dead to hear, and thou canst not make the deaf to hear the call when they turn their backs on thee

indeed you not he makes hear the deads and not you make hear the deafs the calling when they turned turning the backs

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.
