In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 38:69 — 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 →
I have no knowledge of the Highest Assembly as they disputeI had no knowledge of the Highest Chiefs when they disputedYet had I no knowledge of what passed among the celestial chiefs when they disputedI had no knowledge of the exalted chiefs when they contendedwhat he was for me from knowledge by the assembly the highest when they contendGenerated 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.
