How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 6:4 — 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 →

Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Never came there unto them a revelation of the revelations of Allah but they did turn away from it
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Never did one single sign from among the signs of their Lord come to them, but they turned away from it
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
There came not to them any sign of the signs of their Lord, but they turned away
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and not he comes to them from sign from signs of their Sustainer except they were from it one turning asides

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.
