ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَىٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَـٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَـٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓ ۙ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

Translations of Quran 7:157
EnglishTalal Itani

Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel in their possession. He directs them to righteousness, and deters them from evil, and allows for them all good things, and prohibits for them wickedness, and unloads the burdens and the shackles that are upon them. Those who believe in him, and respect him, and support him, and follow the light that came down with him—these are the successful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Onlar ki yanlarında Tevrat ve İncilde yazılı bulacakları o Resule o, ümmî Peygambere ittiba' ederler o onlara ma'ruf ile emreder ve onları münkerden nehyeyler, ve temiz hoş şeyleri kendileri için halâl, murdar şeyleri üzerlerine haram kılar, sırtlarından ağır yüklerini ve üzerlerindeki bağları, zincirleri indirir atar, o vakıt ona iyman eden, ona kuvvetle ta'zım eyliyen, ona yardımcı olan ve onun nübüvvetiyle beraber indirilen nuru ta'kib eyliyen kimseler, işte o murada iren müflihîn onlar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Qui suivent l’envoyé, le prophète illettré qu’ils trouveront signale dans leurs livres, dans le Pentateuque et dans l’Évangile : Le prophète, qui leur commande le bien et leur interdit le mal ; qui leur permet l’usage des aliments excellents et leur défend les aliments impurs ; qui allège leurs fardeaux et ôte les chaînes qui les accablaient. Ceux qui croiront en lui, ceux qui le fortifient, ceux qui l’assistent et suivent la lumière descendue avec lui, ces hommes-là seront bienheureux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Die den gezant volgen; den ongeletterden gezant, dien zij in hunne boeken, in den Pentateuchus en in het Evangelie vinden aangeduid; hij zal hun gebieden wat rechtvaardig is en hun verbieden wat slecht is, en zal hun gebruik als wettig veroorloven van de dingen die vroeger verboden waren, en hij zal de dingen verbieden die slecht zijn, en hij zal hen van hunne zware lasten ontheffen en van de ketenen die op hen rusten. En zij die in hem gelooven, die hem vereeren en ondersteunen en het licht volgen dat met hem werd nedergezonden, zullen gelukkig zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Che seguono l’inviato, il profeta illetterato che troveranno indicato nei loro libri: nel Pentateuco e nel Vangelo; che comanda loro il bene, ed interdice il male; che loro permette l’uso degli alimenti eccellenti, e proibisce i cibi impuri; che alleggerirà i loro pesi, e toglierà le catene che li opprimevano. Quei che crederanno in lui, che l’assisteranno, e che seguiranno la luce venuta con esso, saranno gli uomini beati.
