Surah Luqman, verse 20 of 34 · Juz 21

أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُۥ ظَـٰهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً ۗ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَـٰبٍ مُّنِيرٍ

Translations of Quran 31:20
EnglishTalal Itani

Do you not see how Allah placed at your service everything in the heavens and the earth? How He showered you with His blessings, both outward and inward? Yet among the people is he who argues about Allah without knowledge, without guidance, and without an enlightening Scripture.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

See ye not how Allah hath made serviceable unto you whatsoever is in the skies and whatsoever is in the earth and hath loaded you with His favours both without and within? Yet of mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah, without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving light.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Görmediniz mi? Allahı zülcelâl sizin için Göklerdekini ve Yerdekini müsahhar kılmış, üzerinize zâhiren ve bâtınen ni'metlerini ifaza buyurmakta, bununla beraber nâs içinde kimisi de var ki ne bir ılme, ne bir mürşide ne de tenvir eder bir kitaba istinad etmeksizin Allah hakkında mücadele ediyor

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ne voyez-vous pas que Dieu vous a soumis tout ce qui est dans les deux et sur la terre ? Il a versé sur vous ses bienfaits visibles et cachés. il est des hommes qui disputent de Dieu, sans science, sans guide, sans livre qui éclaire.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Ziet gij niet dat God alles, wat in den hemel en op aarde is, aan uwen dienst heeft onderworpen, en zijne gunsten overvloedig over u heeft uitgestort, zoowel uit- als inwendig? Er zijn sommigen, die zonder kennis en zonder eene leiding, en zonder een voorlichtend boek nopens God twisten.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non vedete forse che Dio vi ha sottomesso tutto ciò ch’è ne’ cieli, e sulla terra? Ha versato su voi i suoi benefizj visibili, ed occulti. Vi sono degli uomini che questionano di Dio, senza scienza, senza guida, senza libro proprio ad illuminarli.
