Translations of Quran 62:11
EnglishTalal Itani

Yet whenever they come across some business, or some entertainment, they scramble towards it, and leave you standing. Say, “What is with Allah is better than entertainment and business; and Allah is the Best of providers.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

But when they spy some merchandise or pastime they break away to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is better than pastime and than merchandise, and Allah is the Best of providers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Böyle iken bir ticaret veya eğlenti gördüklerinde ona fırladılar da seni ayakta bıraktılar. De ki: Allahın yanındaki, eğlentiden de ticaretten de hayırlıdır ve Allah rızk verenlerin en hayırlısıdır.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Mais ils agissent autrement. Qu’ils voient seulement quelque vente ou quelque divertissement, ils se dispersent et te laissent là debout et seul. Dis-leur : Ce que Dieu tient en réserve vaut mieux que le commerce et le divertissement. Dieu est le meilleur dispensateur des subsistances.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Maar als zij slechts eenigen handel of vermaak zien, spoeden zij zich daarheen en verlaten u, terwijl gij op den kansel staat. Zeg: De belooning die met God is, is beter dan eenig vermaak of eenige koopwaar. God is de beste uitdeeler van schatten.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

(Ma essi agiscono diversamente) Se veggono solamente qualche vendita, o qualche divertimento, si disperdono, e ti lasciano là in piedi, e solo. Di’ loro: Ciò che Dio tiene riservato, val più del commercio e dei divertimenti. Dio è quegli che dispensa meglio di tutti la sussistenza.
