Such is God’s guidance. He guides with it whomever He wills of His servants. Had they associated, their deeds would have gone in vain
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Such is the guidance of Allah wherewith He guideth whom He will of His bondmen. But if they had set up (for worship) aught beside Him, (all) that they did would have been vain
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
This is God's guidance: He guideth by it such of his servants as he will: But if they join others god with Him, vain assuredly shall be all their works
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
That is God's guidance; He guides those whom He will of His servants; and if they associate aught with Him,- vain is that which they have worked
