أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِم ۗ مَّا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِلِقَآئِ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَـٰفِرُونَ

Translations of Quran 30:8
EnglishTalal Itani

Do they not reflect within themselves? Allah did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except with reason, and for a specific duration. But most people, regarding meeting their Lord, are disbelievers.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Nefislerînde bir düşünmediler de mi? Allah o Gökleri ve Yeri ve ikisinin arasındakileri başka değil, ancak hak sebeb ve müsemmâ bir ecel ile halk buyurmuştur, bununla beraber doğrusu insanlardan bir çoğu rablarının likasına kâfirdirler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

N’ont-ils pas réfléchi dans eux-mêmes que Dieu a créé les cieux et la terre et tout ce qui est entre eux, pour la vérité ; qu’il a fixé leur durée jusqu’au terme désigné d’avance ? Mais la plupart des hommes ne croient point qu’ils comparaîtront un jour devant leur Seigneur.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Overdenken zij niet bij zich zelven, dat God de hemelen en de aarde, en ook alles wat daartusschen is, niet anders dan in waarheid heeft geschapen en voor hen een bepaald tijdvak aangewezen heeft? Waarlijk een groot aantal der menschen verwerpen het geloof aan hunne toekomstige ontmoeting van den Heer bij de opstanding.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non hanno forse riflettuto in se stessi che Dio ha creato i cieli, e la terra e tutto ciò ch’è fra loro, per la verità; ch’egli ha fissato la durata fino all’epoca anticipatamente stabilita? Ma la maggior parte degli uomini non crede che un giorno si comparirà innanzi a Dio.
