How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 30:29 — 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 →

Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? For such there are no helpers
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
No, ye do not. But the wicked, devoid of knowledge, follow their own desires: and those whom God shall mislead, who shall guide, and who shall be their protector
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Nay, when those who are unjust follow their lusts without knowledge,- and who shall guide him whom God has led astray? and they shall have none to help
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
rather he followed those whom they wronged their vain desires by other than knowledge so whoever he guides who he led astray Allah and not for them from one who helps

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.
