فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Translations of Quran 6:125
EnglishTalal Itani

Whomever Allah desires to guide, He spreads open his heart to Islam; and whomever He desires to misguide, He makes his heart narrow, constricted, as though he were climbing up the sky. Allah thus lays defilement upon those who do not believe.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom unto the Surrender, and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray, He maketh his bosom close and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent. Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon those who believe not.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hasılı Allah her kimi hidayetine erdirmek isterse, islâma sinesini açar, gönlüne genişlik verir, her kimi de dalalete bırakmak isterse onun da kalbini daraltır öyle sıkıştırır ki sanırsın öfkesinden göke çıkacak, imana gelmezleri Allah o murdarlık içinde hep böyle bırakır.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Dieu ouvrira pour l’islam le cœur de celui qu’il voudra diriger ; il resserre, il rend étroit et comme cherchant à s’élever en l’air le cœur de celui qu’il voudra égarer. Telle est la punition dont Dieu atteindra ceux qui ne croient pas.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En hij, wien het Gode behaagt te leiden, zal zijne borst openen om het geloof van den Islam te ontvangen: doch wien het hem zal behagen in dwaling te brengen, diens borst zal hij sluiten en vernauwen als diegene, welke zich ten hemel wil verheffen. Zoo legt God eene vreeselijke straf aan hen op, die niet gelooven.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Dio aprirà per l’islam il cuore di chi vorrà dirigere; egli rinserra e ristringe, come se cercasse di fuggirsene in aria, il cuore di colui che vorrà perdere. Questa è la punizione che Dio darà a coloro che non credono.
