In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 7:4 — 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 →
How many a town have We destroyed? Our might came upon them by night, or while they were nappingHow many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto themHow many cities have we destroyed! By night, or while they were in their midday slumber, did our wrath reach themYet how many a town have we destroyed, and our violence came upon it by night, or while they slept at noon; and their cry, when our violence came upon themand how many from town We destroyed so he came our might by night or they taking a midday restsGenerated 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.
