أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ ٱلْحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَجَـٰهَدَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوُۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Translations of Quran 9:19
EnglishTalal Itani

Do you consider giving water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque the same as believing in Allah and the Last Day and striving in Allah’s path? They are not equal in Allah’s sight. Allah does not guide the unjust people.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Count ye the slaking of a pilgrim's thirst and tendance of the Inviolable Place of Worship as (equal to the worth of) him who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and striveth in the way of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ya siz hacılara sekalığı ve Mescidi haramda umreciliği Allaha ve Âhıret gününe iyman edib de Allah yolunda cihâd etmekte bulunan gibi mi tuttunuz? Bunlar ındallah müsavi olmazlar, Allah zalimler gürühuna hidayet vermez

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Mettrez-vous ceux qui portent de l’eau aux pèlerins et visitent l’oratoire sacré, au même niveau que celui qui croit en Dieu et au jour dernier, qui combat dans le sentier de Dieu ? Non, ils ne seront point égaux devant Dieu. Dieu ne dirige point les méchants.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Rekent gij het reiken van drank aan de bedevaartgangers en het bezoeken van den heiligen tempel, als daden van dezelfde verdienste als diegene, welke door hem worden verricht, die in God en den laatsten dag gelooft en voor Gods eeredienst strijdt? Zij zullen voor God niet gelijk zijn; want God leidt de onrechtvaardigen niet.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Metterete voi quei che portano l’acqua ai pellegrini e visitano l’oratorio sacro allo stesso livello di colui che crede in Dio, ed al giorno ultimo, e che combatte nel sentiere di Dio? No, essi non saranno eguali dinanzi a Dio. Dio non dirige i malvagi.
