Quran 6:91

Surah Al-An'am (The Cattle), verse 91 of 165 · Juz 7

وَمَا قَدَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦٓ إِذْ قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ بَشَرٍ مِّن شَىْءٍ ۗ قُلْ مَنْ أَنزَلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلَّذِى جَآءَ بِهِۦ مُوسَىٰ نُورًا وَهُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ ۖ تَجْعَلُونَهُۥ قَرَاطِيسَ تُبْدُونَهَا وَتُخْفُونَ كَثِيرًا ۖ وَعُلِّمْتُم مَّا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنتُمْ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ ۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ ۖ ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمْ فِى خَوْضِهِمْ يَلْعَبُونَ

Translations of Quran 6:91
EnglishTalal Itani

They do not value Allah as He should be valued, when they say, “Allah did not reveal anything to any human being.” Say, “Who revealed the Scripture which Moses brought—a light and guidance for humanity?” You put it on scrolls, displaying them, yet concealing much. And you were taught what you did not know—neither you, nor your ancestors. Say, “Allah”; then leave them toying away in their speculation.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And they measure not the power of Allah its true measure when they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a human being. Say (unto the Jews who speak thus): Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for mankind, which ye have put on parchments which ye show, but ye hide much (thereof), and (by which) ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah. Then leave them to their play of cavilling.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allahı gereği gibi tanıyamadılar, çünkü bir Allah beşere bir şey indirmedi dediler, de ki kim indirdi O, Musâ'nın insanlara bir nûr, bir hidayet olarak getirdiği kitabı? ki siz onu parça parça kâğıtlar yapıyorsunuz, bunları ortaya atıyorsunuz da bir çoğunu gizliyorsunuz, bununla beraber şimdi size ne sizin ne atalarınızın bilemediğiniz hakikatlar öğretilmekte, Allah, de: Sonra bırak onları daldıkları batakta oynaya dursunlar.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils n’apprécient point Dieu comme il le mérite, quand ils disent : Il n’a jamais rien révélé à l’homme. Dis-leur : Qui donc a révélé le Livre que Moïse apporta pour en faire la lumière et le guide des hommes ; ce Livre (le Pentateuque) que vous écrivez sur des feuillets, le livre que vous montrez, et dont cependant vous cachez une grande partie, vous avez été instruits de ce que vous ne saviez pas, non plus que vos pères. Dis-leur : C’est Dieu, et puis laisse-les se divertir par leurs frivoles discours.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij waardeeren God niet zoo als hij het verdient, als zij zeggen: God heeft niets aan de menschen geopenbaard. Zeg: Wie heeft dan het boek geopenbaard, dat Mozes heeft gebracht, om er het licht en den gids der menschen van te maken; het boek, dat gij op bladen schrijft; het boek, dat gij vertoont, en waarvan gij echter een groot gedeelte verbergt? Gij zijt onderricht geworden, van hetgeen gij evenmin als uwe vaderen wist. Zeg hun: God is het, en laten zij zich dan met hunne ijdele gesprekken vermaken.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non apprezzano Dio quanto lo merita quei che dicono: Egli non ha nulla rivelato all’uomo. Di’ loro: Chi dunque ha rivelato il libro che Mosè reco per essere la luce e la guida degli uomini? Quel libro che voi trascrivete su de’ fogli, e che mostrate, nascondendone una gran parte? Voi avete appreso (da Maometto) ciò che non sapevate, e che non sapevano neppure i vostri padri. Di’ loro: È Dio; e poi lasciali divertire coi loro frivoli discorsi.
