ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَـٰرِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَٰتٌ وَمَسَـٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ

Translations of Quran 22:40
EnglishTalal Itani

Those who were unjustly evicted from their homes, merely for saying, “Our Lord is Allah.” Were it not that Allah repels people by means of others: monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques—where the name of Allah is mentioned much—would have been demolished. Allah supports whoever supports Him. Allah is Strong and Mighty.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Those who have been driven from their homes unjustly only because they said: Our Lord is Allah - For had it not been for Allah's repelling some men by means of others, cloisters and churches and oratories and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft mentioned, would assuredly have been pulled down. Verily Allah helpeth one who helpeth Him. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty -

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Onlar ki rabbımız bir Allahdır demelerinden başka bir sebeb, bir hakk olmaksızın diyarlarından çıkarıldılar. Allahın da nasın bir kısmını bir kısmiyle def'etmesi olmasa idi her halde manastırlar, kiliseler, havralar Mescidler yıkılırdı ki bunlar da Allahın ismi çok zikr olunur ve elbette Allah kendine nusret edeni mensur kılacaktır, şübhe yok ki Allah çok kuvvetli, çok ızzetlidir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ceux qui ont été injustement chassés de leurs foyers, uniquement pour avoir dit : Notre Seigneur est le Dieu unique. Si Dieu n’eût repoussé une partie des hommes par les autres, les monastères, les églises, les synagogues et les oratoires des musulmans, où le nom de Dieu est invoqué sans cesse, auraient été détruits. Dieu assistera celui qui l’assiste dans sa lutte contre les impies. Dieu est fort et puissant.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Die onrechtvaardig uit hunne woningen werden verjaagd, en om geene andere redenen, dan dat zij zeggen: Onze Heer is God! Indien God het geweld van sommige menschen niet door andere had verijdeld, waarlijk, dan zouden kloosters, kerken, synagogen en de tempels der Moslems, waarin de naam van God dikwijls wordt herdacht, geheel verwoest zijn. En God zal zekerlijk dengeen ondersteunen, die zich aan zijne zijde zal bevinden; want God is sterk en machtig.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quei che sono stati ingiustamente cacciati dalle lor case, unicamente per aver detto: Il nostro Signore è il Dio unico. Se Dio non avesse fatto superare una parte degli uomini dagli altri, i chiostri, le chiese, le sinagoghe, e gli oratori de’ musulmani, dove il nome di Dio è invocato continuamente, sarebbero stati distrutti. Dio assisterà chi l’assiste (contro gli empj). Dio è forte, e potente.
