If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would divert you from God’s path. They follow nothing but assumptions, and they only conjecture
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
If thou obeyedst most of those on earth they would mislead thee far from Allah's way. They follow naught but an opinion, and they do but guess
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
But if thou obey most men in this land, from the path of God will they mislead thee: they follow but a conceit, and they are only liars
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
But if thou followest most of those who are in the land, they will lead thee astray from the path of God; they only follow suspicion and they only (rest on) conjecture
