تَهْدِى

You cannot guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills, and He knows best those who are guided

Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright

Thou truly canst not guide whom thou desirest; but God guideth whom He will; and He best knoweth those who yield to guidance

Verily, thou canst not guide whom thou dost like, but God guides whom He pleases; for He knows best who are to be guided

indeed you not he guides who you loved but indeed Allah he guides who he wills and He most knowing by the one who is guideds

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.
