Translations of Quran 42:24
EnglishTalal Itani

Or do they say, “He forged a lie about Allah”? If Allah so willed, He could have sealed your heart. But Allah obliterates the false, and confirms the true by His words. He knows what is in the hearts.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Or say they: He hath invented a lie concerning Allah? If Allah willed, He could have sealed thy heart (against them). And Allah will wipe out the lie and will vindicate the truth by His words. Lo! He is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts (of men).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Yoksa Allaha iftira etti bir yalanı mı diyorlar? Allah dilerse senin de kalbini üstünden mühürleyiverir, Allah batılı mahveder de kelimatı ile hakkı ıhkak eyler, şübhesiz ki o bütün sînelerin künhünü bilir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Diront-ils : il (Mohammed) a forgé un mensonge sur le compte de Dieu ? Certes, Dieu, si cela lui plaît, peut apposer un sceau sur ton cœur, effacer lui-même le mensonge, et établir la vérité par ses paroles ; car il connaît l’intérieur des cœurs.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zeggen zij: Mahomet heeft lasterlijk eene leugen nopens God uitgedacht? Indien het Gode behaagde, kon hij uw hart dichtzegelen, en de leugen volkomen vernietigen en de waarheid in zijne woorden staven: want hij kent de binnenste deelen der menschelijke borst.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Diranno: Ha forse (Maometto) fabbricato una menzogna sul conto di Dio? Certamente Dio, se così gli piace, può apporre un suggello sul tuo cuore, cancellar egli stesso la menzogna, e stabilire la verità colle sue parole; poichè conosce l’interno dei cuori.
