How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 34:53 — 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 →

They have rejected it in the past, and made allegations from a far-off place
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
When they disbelieved in it of yore. They aim at the unseen from afar off
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
When they had before denied it, and aimed their shafts at the mysteries from afar
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
They misbelieved before, and conjectured about the unseen from a distant place
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and indeed they rejected in it from before and they cast by the unseen from place far

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.
