In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 28:56 — 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 →
You cannot guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills, and He knows best those who are guidedLo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk arightThou truly canst not guide whom thou desirest; but God guideth whom He will; and He best knoweth those who yield to guidanceVerily, thou canst not guide whom thou dost like, but God guides whom He pleases; for He knows best who are to be guidedindeed you not he guides who you loved but indeed Allah he guides who he wills and He most knowing by the one who is guidedsGenerated 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.
