If Allah had not shown great kindness to us, we would have been swallowed up as well. Ah! Truly the kafirun are not successful.’ ### Progressive Muslims And those who wished they were in his place the day before said: "Indeed it is God Who provides or restricts for whomever He chooses from among His servants. Had it not been for God's grace towards us, He could have caused the Earth to swallow us as well. We now realise that the rejecters never succeed." ### Shabbir Ahmed And those who had envied his position only the day before were saying the next morning, "Ah, it is indeed Allah Who makes the provision plenty or scarce for His servants according to His Laws. Had Allah not been kind to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us! Ah! The rejecters of the Truth can never attain lasting contentment." ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation And morning found those who had desired his place the day before, saying: “Oh, how God expands and straitens the provision for whom He wills of His servants! Had God not been gracious to us, He would have caused it to swallow us. And oh, how the false claimers of guidance do not succeed!”) ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation And those who wished they were in his place the day before said: "Indeed it is God Who provides or restricts for whoever He chooses from among His servants. Had it not been for the grace of God towards us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us as well. We now realize that the rejecters never succeed." ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament Those who were envious of him the day before said, "Now we realize that GOD is the One who provides for whomever He chooses from among His servants, and withholds. If it were not for GOD's grace towards us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us too. We now realize that the disbelievers never succeed." ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira Those who were envious of his position only yesterday said on the morrow: "Indeed God increases the fortunes of those of His creatures as He will, and decreases. Had God not been gracious to us He could have (opened up) the earth and made it swallow us. Surely the infidels will not succeed." ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!" ### Muhammad Asad And on the morrow, those who but yesterday had longed to be in his place exclaimed: "Alas [for our not having been aware] that it is indeed God [alone] who grants abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whichever He wills of His crea­tures! Had not God been gracious to us, He might have caused [the earth] to swallow us, too! Alas [for our having forgotten] that those who deny the truth can never attain to a happy state!" ### Marmaduke Pickthall And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah, welladay! the disbelievers never prosper. ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary And those who had envied his position the day before began to say on the morrow: "Alas, we had forgotten that it is Allah Who increases the provision of those of His servants whom He will and grants in sparing measure to those whom He will.[1] But for Allah's favour upon us, He could have made us to be swallowed too. Alas, we had forgotten that the unbelievers do not prosper."[2] _Footnotes_ - [1] That is "The extension or the restriction of provisions is always according to the will of Allah, and Allah’s will is determined by His own reasons and considerations. His favoring somebody with generous provisions does not necessarily mean that Allah is well pleased with him and is honoring him with gifts. Mostly it so happens that a person is under Allah’s wrath, but He goes on favoring him with more and more wealth till, at last, the same wealth causes Allah’s torment to descend on him. Contrary to this, if somebody is being given restricted provisions, it does not necessarily mean that Allah is displeased with him and is punishing him. Mostly the righteous live in hardship although they are Allah’s favorites, and in many cases the same hardship becomes a cause of Allah’s mercy for them. Consequently, a person who does not understand this reality looks with envious eyes at the prosperity of those who actually deserve Allah’s wrath." - [2] That is, "We had the misconception, that worldly prosperity and wealth by themselves constituted real success. Therefore, we thought that Korah was highly successful, but now we have come to know that real success is an entirely different thing, and it is never attained by the disbelievers." ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab And those who had desiderated his status the day before exclaimed then: "Goodness, it is evident that Allah gives livelihood generously and confers support gratuitously to whom He will of His servants and He gives with restraint and by measure to whom He will. Has He not been gracious and merciful to us". they added, "He would have made the earth take us into itself. Goodness, if is evident that those who challenge Allah do not really prosper". ### Bijan Moeinian The same people who were envious of him the day before, were shameful of their thoughts and said: "What a shame that we had forgotten that it is God who gives so much to some people and so little to the others [in order to try them in wealth and in poverty. ] How graceful of God not have sunk us with him. Shame on us that we forgot that the disbelievers never succeed." ### Al-Hilali & Khan And those who had desired (for a position like) his position the day before, began to say: "Know you not that it is Allâh Who enlarges the provision or restricts it to whomsoever He pleases of His slaves. Had it not been that Allâh was Gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up (also)! Know you not that the disbelievers will never be successful. ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali And those who had envied his position the day before began to say on the morrow: "Ah! it is indeed Allah Who enlarges the provision or restricts it, to any of His servants He pleases! had it not been that Allah was gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up! Ah! those who reject Allah will assuredly never prosper." ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran And those who had craved his position the previous day began to say, "Ah! It is certainly Allah Who gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. Had it not been for the grace of Allah, He could have surely caused the earth to swallow us up! Oh, indeed! The disbelievers will never succeed." ### Taqi Usmani And those who wished to be in his position the day before, started saying, "Oh, it seems that Allah extends provision to whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills). Had Allah not favored us, He would have made us sink (too). Oh, it seems that the infidels do not succeed." ### Abdul Haleem The next day, those who had, the day before, wished to be in his place exclaimed, ‘Alas [for you, Qarun]! It is God alone who gives what He will, abundantly or sparingly, to whichever He will of His creatures: if God had not been gracious to us, He would have caused the earth to swallow us too.’ Alas indeed! Those who deny the truth will never prosper. ### Arthur John Arberry and in the morning those who had longed to be in his place the day before were saying, 'Ah, God outspreads and straitens His provision to whomsoever He will of His servants. Had God not been gracious to us, He would have made us to be swallowed too. Ah, the unbelievers do not prosper, ### E. Henry Palmer And on the morrow those who had yearned for his place the day before said, 'Ah, ah! God extends provision to whom He pleases of His servants, or He doles it out; had not God been gracious to us, the earth would have cleft open with us! Ah, ah! the unbelievers shall not prosper!' ### Hamid S. Aziz So We caused the earth to open up and swallow him with his house; and he had no troop to help him against Allah, nor was he of those who could save themselves. " ### Mahmoud Ghali And (in the morning) the ones who had coveted his place the day before became (secure) and said, "Ah, actually (Or: Now, it seems true that) Allah outspreads the provision to whomever He decides of His bondmen, and He estimates it. Had Allah not been Bounteous to us, He would indeed have caved us in. Ah, actually the disbelievers do not prosper." ### George Sale And the next morning, those who had coveted his condition the day before, said, aha! Verily God bestoweth abundant provision on such of his servants as He pleaseth; and He is sparing unto whom He pleaseth. Unless God had been gracious unto us, certainly the earth had swallowed us up also. Aha! The unbelievers shall not prosper. ### Syed Vickar Ahamed And those who wished his position the day before began to say the next day: "Ah! It is truly Allah, Who grows the provision or shrinks it, to any of His servants He pleases! If it was not that Allah was kind to us, he could have caused the earth to swallow us up! Those who disbelieve will never be successful. " ### Amatul Rahman Omar Now the very people who had coveted his (lot and) position the day before began to say, `Ruin seize you! it is indeed Allâh Who multiplies the means of livelihood for such of His servants as He will and makes them scant (for such of His people as He will). Had not Allâh been gracious to us He would have sunk us (also into the bowels of the earth). Ruin seize you! (the fact is that) those who are ungrateful never prosper.' ### Ali Quli Qarai By dawn those who longed to be in his place the day before were saying, ‘Don’t you see that Allah expands the provision for whomever He wishes of His servants, and tightens it? Had Allah not shown us favour, He might have made the earth swallow us too. Don’t you see that the faithless do not prosper.’ ### Ahmed Hulusi — Türkçe Kur'an Çözümü Daha dün onun (Karun'un) yerinde olmak isteyenler, şöyle diyerek sabahladı: "Vay, demek ki Allah kullarından dilediğinin yaşam gıdasını arttırıyor ve (dilediğine de) kısıyor! Allah bize lütfedip korumasaydı, elbette bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. . . Vay, demek ki hakikat bilgisini inkar edenler kurtulamazlar!" ### Ali Bulaç — Kur'an-ı Kerim ve Türkçe Anlamı Dün, onun yerinde olmayı dileyenler, sabahladıklarında: "Vay, demek ki Allah, kullarından dilediğinin rızkını genişletip yaymakta ve kısıp daraltmaktadır. Eğer Allah, bize lütfetmiş olmasaydı, bizi de şüphesiz batırırdı. Vay, demek gerçekten inkar edenler felah bulamaz" demeye başladılar. ### Bayraktar Bayraklı — Yeni Bir Anlayışın Işığında Kur'an Meali Daha dün onun yerinde olmayı isteyenler, "Demek ki Allah, kullarından dilediğinin rızkını genişletiyor; dilediğine de daraltıyor. Şayet Allah bize lütufta bulunmuş olmasaydı, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Vay! Demek ki inkarcılar iflah olmazmış!" demeye başladılar. ### Diyanet İşleri — Kur'an-ı Kerim Türkçe Meali Daha dün onun yerinde olmayı arzu edenler, "Vay! Demek ki Allah, kullarından dilediği kimselere rızkı bol verir ve (dilediğine) kısarmış. Allah, bize lütfetmiş olmasaydı, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Demek ki kafirler iflah olmayacak" demeye başladılar. ### Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır — Kur'an-ı Kerim ve Yüce Meali Dün onun mevkıini temenni edenler de bu sabah şöyle diyorlardı: vayy be, demek ki Allah rızkı kullarından dilediğine seriyor ve kısıyor, eğer Allah bize lutf etmese idi bizi de batırmıştı, ayy demek ki hakıkat bu: kafirler felah bulmıyacak ### Elmalılı (sadeleştirilmiş) Dün onun yerinde olmayı temenni edenler de bu sabah şöyle diyorlardı: "Vay be, demek ki, Allah, nimetini kullarından dilediğine seriyor ve kısıyor. Eğer Allah bize lutufta bulunmasaydı, bizi de batırmıştı. Ay, demek ki, gerçekten kafirler felah bulmayacaklar!" ### Gültekin Onan Dün, onun yerinde olmayı dileyenler, sabahladıklarında: "Vay, demek ki Tanrı kullarından dilediğinin rızkını genişletip / yaymakta veya kısıp / daraltmaktadır. Eğer Tanrı bize lütfetmiş olmasaydı, bizi de şüphesiz batırırdı. Vay, demek gerçekten kafirler kurtuluşa eremezler" demeye başladılar. ### Hasan Basri Çantay — Kur'an-ı Hakim ve Meal-i Kerim Dün onun mevkiini temenni edenler sabahleyin (şöyle) diyorlardı: "Vay, demek ki Allah, kullarından kimi dilerse onun rızkını yayıyor (genişletiyor, yahud) daraltıyor. Allah bize lutfetmeseydi bizi de muhakkak batırırdı. Vay, demek ki hakıykat şudur: Kafirler felah bulmaz"! ### İbni Kesir Daha dün onun yerinde olmayı isteyenler: Vay demek ki Allah; kullarından dilediğinin rızkını genişletip daraltmaktadır. Eğer Allah, bize lutfetmemiş olsaydı; bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Vay, demek ki kafirler, asla felah bulmazlar, demeye başladılar. ### Muhammed Esed — Kur'an Mesajı Ve daha dün onun yerinde olmak isteyenler: "Vah bize!" dediler, "Demek ki, kullarından dilediğine rızkı geniş tutan, dilediğine de ölçülü, idareli veren Allah'mış! Ya Allah bize lütfetmemiş olsaydı, hiç şüphe yok, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Vah vah, demek, hakkı inkar edenler iflah olmazmış!" ### Şaban Piriş — Kur'an-ı Kerim Türkçe Anlamı Daha dün, onun yerinde olmayı arzu edenler: -Vay, demek ki, Allah, kullarından dilediğinin rızkını genişletiyor ve dilediğininkini daraltıyormuş. Allah'ın bize nimetleri olmasaydı, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Vay, demek ki inkarcılar kurtuluşa eremezlermiş, demeye başladılar. ### Süleyman Ateş — Kur'an-ı Kerim ve Yüce Meali Dün onun yerinde olmayı isteyenler: "Vay, demek Allah kullarından dilediğine rızkı açar ve kısar. Allah bize lutfetmiş olmasaydı, bizi de yere batırırdı. Demek gerçekten kafirler iflah olmaz!" demeğe başladılar. ### Yaşar Nuri Öztürk — Kur'an-ı Kerim Meali Akşam onun mevkiine/konumuna imrenenler sabah şöyle diyorlardı: "Vay be! Allah, kullarından dilediğine rızkı açıp yayıyor, dilediğine de ölçüyle veriyor/kısıyor. Allah bize lütufta bulunmasaydı, vallahi bizi de batırmıştı. Demek ki, inkarcılar asla iflah etmiyorlar." ### Mustafa İslamoğlu — Hayat Kitabı Kur’an Daha dün onun yerinde olmaya can atanlar diyordu ki: "Vay canına! Demek ki kullarından dileyenin rızkını genişletmeyi dileyen, dileyenin kini de sınırlamayı dileyen Allah'mış! Eğer Allah bize lutfetmemiş olsaydı, elbet bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi! Vay be! Görülen o ki, meğer nankörler asla iflah olmazmış!" ### Erhan Aktaş (Eski Baskı) — Kerim Kur'an Dün, onun yerinde olmayı isteyenler; bugün, "Demek ki, kullarından dilediğine rızkı genişleten ve ölçülendiren Allah'mış. Eğer Allah bize lutfetmiş[1] olmasaydı, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Vay be! Demek ki gerçeği yalanlayan nankörler kurtuluşa eremezler." dediler. _Footnotes_ - [1] Hoşnut edici, dostça davranış, incelik, iyilik. ### Ali Rıza Safa — Kur'an-ı Kerim Gerçek Daha dün onun yerinde olmak isteyenler, sabahleyin, şöyle dediler: "Vay! Demek ki, Allah, dilediği kulunun geçimini hem genişletiyor hem de daraltıyor. Allah, bize lütufta bulunmasaydı, kesinlikle bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi!" "Vay! Demek ki, nankörlük edenler iyi bir duruma gelmiyorlar!" ### Süleymaniye Vakfı (Eski Baskı) — Süleymaniye Vakfı Meali Düne kadar onun yerinde olmak isteyenler şöyle demeye başladılar: "Vay be! Demek ki Allah rızkı, kimi kullarının önüne seriyor, kimi kullarına da ölçülü olarak veriyormuş. Allah yüzümüze bakmasaydı bizi de batırırdı. Vay be! Demek ki, nankörler iflah olmazlarmış." ### Mehmet Okuyan — Kur’an Meal-Tefsir Daha dün onun (Karun'un) yerinde olmayı isteyenler şöyle diyorlardı: "Vay! Demek ki Allah rızkı kullarından dilediğine (layık olana) açarak (bol) da veriyor, kısarak (dar) da.[1] Allah bize lütufta bulunmuş olmasaydı, bizi de (yerin dibine) geçirirdi. Vay! Demek ki kâfirler kurtulamazmış!"[2] _Footnotes_ - [1] Benzer mesajlar: Ra‘d 13:26; İsrâ 17:30; ‘Ankebût 29:62; Rûm 30:37; Sebe' 34:36, 39; Zümer 39:52; Şûrâ 42:12. - [2] Bu ayetlerde özellikle 80. ayette de belirtildiği üzere Yüce Allah'tan "hayır" istenmesi gerektiğine dikkat çekilmektedir. Dahası, hayırlısını isteyenler aslında bütünü bilen Allah'ın bilgisine göre istekte bulunmuş olurlar. Parçayı bilip görenler İsrâ 17:11'de belirtildiği gibi hayır adına şerri de istemiş olabilirler. O nedenle "parçayı" bilip görene değil, "bütünü" bilip görene teslim olmak, hayır ve şerrin nelerden oluştuğuna Yüce Allah'tan gelen bilgiye göre karar vermek gerekir. ### Erhan Aktaş (10. Baskı) — Kerim Kur'an Dün, onun yerinde olmayı isteyenler; bugün, "Demek ki, kullarından dilediğine rızkı genişleten ve ölçülendiren Allah'mış. Eğer Allah bize lutfetmiş[1] olmasaydı, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Demek ki Kafirler[2] kurtuluşa eremezler." dediler. _Footnotes_ - [1] Hoşnut edici, dostça davranış, incelik, iyilik. - [2] Kafir: İnançsız, inanmayan, gerçeğin üzerini örten, gerçeği kabul etmeyen, nankör. Allah'ı ve vahyi reddeden. Küfr, İman'ın karşıtıdır. ### Erhan Aktaş — Kerim Kur'an Dün, onun yerinde olmayı isteyenler; bugün, "Demek ki, kullarından dilediğine rızkı genişleten ve ölçülendiren Allah'mış. Eğer Allah bize lütfetmiş olmasaydı, bizi de yerin dibine geçirirdi. Demek ki Kafirler kurtuluşa eremezler." dediler. ### Süleymaniye Vakfı — Süleymaniye Vakfı Meali Daha düne kadar onun yerinde olmak isteyenler şöyle demeye başladılar: "Vay be! Demek ki Allah, kullarından tercih ettiği kişi için[1] rızkı genişletirmiş de daraltırmış da[2]. Allah bize iyilikte bulunmasaydı bizi de batırırdı. Vay be! Demek ki kafirler umduklarına kavuşamazlarmış." _Footnotes_ - [1] Şae (شاء) fiili için bkz [Kasas 28/56.](https://quran.so/28/56) ayetin dipnotu. - [2] [Ra'd 13/26,](https://quran.so/13/26) [İsra 17/30,](https://quran.so/17/30) [Ankebut 29/62,](https://quran.so/29/62) [Rum 30/37,](https://quran.so/30/37) [Sebe 34/36,](https://quran.so/34/36) [39,](https://quran.so/34/39) [Zümer 39/52,](https://quran.so/39/52) [Şura 42/12.](https://quran.so/42/12) ## Words | # | word | meaning | root | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | وَأَصْبَحَ — wa-aṣbaḥa | And began | صبح — Sad-Be-Ha | | 2 | ٱلَّذِينَ — alladhīna | those who | — | | 3 | تَمَنَّوْا۟ — tamannaw | (had) wished | مني — Mim-Nun-Ye | | 4 | مَكَانَهُۥ — makānahu | his position | كون — Kef-Vav-Nun | | 5 | بِٱلْأَمْسِ — bil-amsi | the day before | — | | 6 | يَقُولُونَ — yaqūlūna | (to) say | قول — Kaf-Vav-Lam | | 7 | وَيْكَأَنَّ — wayka-anna | Ah!
