Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Lo! is it not unto Allah that belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth? Those who follow aught instead of Allah follow not (His) partners. They follow only a conjecture, and they do but guess.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Behold! verily to Allah belong all creatures, in the heavens and on earth. What do they follow who worship as His "partners" other than Allah? They follow nothing but fancy, and they do nothing but lie.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم أخبر تعالى أن له ملك السماوات والأرض ، وأن المشركين يعبدون الأصنام ، وهي لا تملك شيئا ، لا ضرا ولا نفعا ، ولا دليل لهم على عبادتها ، بل إنما يتبعون في ذلك ظنونهم وتخرصهم وكذبهم وإفكهم .
