How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 29:64 — 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 →

The life of this world is nothing but diversion and play, and the Home of the Hereafter is the Life, if they only knew

This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
This present life is no other than a pastime and a disport: but truly the future mansion is life indeed! Would that they knew this
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
This life of the world is nothing but a sport and a play; but, verily, the abode of the next world, that is life,- if they did but know
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and not this the life the nearer life except diversion and play and indeed the abode the last surely it the true life if they were they know

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.
