Surah At-Tur (The Mount) — سورة الطور - **Verse:** 41 / 49 · **Juz:** 27 · **Mushaf page:** 524 - **Source:** https://quran.so/surah-at-tur/verse-41 ## Arabic اَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَۜ ## Transcription Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboon ## Translations ### Aisha Bewley Or is the Unseen in their hands so they can write out what is to happen? ### Progressive Muslims Or do they know the future, thus they have it recorded ### Shabbir Ahmed Or do they know the future so that they have it written down? ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation If they have the Unseen: then are they writing. ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation Or do they know the future, thus they have it recorded? ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament Do they know the future, and have it recorded? ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira Or do they have knowledge of the Unknown which they write down? ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down? ### Muhammad Asad Or [do they think] that the hidden reality [of all that exists] is almost within their grasp, so that [in time] they can write it down? ### Marmaduke Pickthall Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down? ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary Or is it that they have access to (the Truths in) the realm beyond sense-perception which they are writing down?[1] _Footnotes_ - [1] That is, what particular knowledge do you have to refute the truths that the Messenger (peace be upon him) is presenting before you, which you may present with the claim that you directly know the realities hidden behind the phenomenal world? Do you really have the knowledge that God is not One, but all those whom you have set up as deities also possess godly attributes and powers? Have you really seen the angels and found that they are girls, and, God forbid, are begotten of God? Do you really know that the revelation has neither come to Muhammad (peace be upon him), nor it can come to any man, from God? Do you really have the knowledge that no Resurrection will take place, that there is going to be no life after death, that there will be no Hereafter when man will be subjected to accountability and rewarded or punished according to his deeds? If you claim to possess any such knowledge, can you give in writing that you are belying what the Prophet (peace be upon him) says about the unseen realities on the ground that you have peeped into the hidden realities and seen that the truth is not that which the Prophet (peace be upon him) presents. Here, one may express the misgiving that if in response to this, those people had given this in writing, in their stubbornness, will not this reasoning have become meaningless? But this misgiving is misplaced because even if they had given this in writing on account of their stubbornness, the common people of society in which this challenge had been given openly were not blind: everyone of them would have understood that the writing had been given out of sheer stubbornness, and no one, in fact, was refuting what the Prophet (peace be upon him) said on the basis that he had the knowledge that it was false. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Or do they realize the unseen or have knowledge of the invisible not apprehended by sight, and they commit it to writing? ### Bijan Moeinian Do they have the knowledge of the unseen realities that they flatly refuse it? ### Al-Hilali & Khan Or that the Ghaib (Unseen) is with them, and they write it down? ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali Or that the Unseen in it their hands, and they write it down? ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran Or do they have access to ˹the Record in˺ the unseen, so they copy it ˹for all to see˺? ### Taqi Usmani Or have they the knowledge of the Unseen, and they are recording it? ### Abdul Haleem Do they have [access to] the unseen? Could they write it down? ### Arthur John Arberry Or is the Unseen in their keeping, and so they are writing it down? ### E. Henry Palmer Or have they the unseen, so that they write it down? ### Hamid S. Aziz Or have they the unseen so that they write it down? ### Mahmoud Ghali Or even do they have in their presence the Unseen, (and) so they are writing (it) down? ### George Sale Are the secrets of futurity with them; and do they transcribe the same from the table of God's decrees? ### Syed Vickar Ahamed Or that the Unseen is in their hands, and they write it (the Suras) down? ### Amatul Rahman Omar Do they have (the knowledge of) the unseen so that they write down (and judge things in its light). ### Ali Quli Qarai Do they have [access to] the Unseen, which they write down? ### Ahmed Hulusi — Türkçe Kur'an Çözümü Yoksa gayb onların indinde de, (ne olacağını) onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### Ali Bulaç — Kur'an-ı Kerim ve Türkçe Anlamı Yoksa gayb (bilgisi) onların katında mıdır, böylece yazıp duruyorlar? ### Bayraktar Bayraklı — Yeni Bir Anlayışın Işığında Kur'an Meali Yoksa,gayb onların yanındadır da onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### Diyanet İşleri — Kur'an-ı Kerim Türkçe Meali Yoksa, gayb ilmi onların yanında da ondan mı yazıyorlar? ### Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır — Kur'an-ı Kerim ve Yüce Meali Yoksa gayb onların yanında da onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### Elmalılı (sadeleştirilmiş) Yoksa gayb onların yanında da onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### Gültekin Onan Yoksa gayb (bilgisi) onların katında mıdır, böylece yazıp duruyorlar? ### Hasan Basri Çantay — Kur'an-ı Hakim ve Meal-i Kerim Yahud gayb (ın ilmi) kendilerinin yanındadır da (bunu) onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### İbni Kesir Yahut, gaybı bilmek kendilerine aittir de, onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### Muhammed Esed — Kur'an Mesajı Yoksa, (bütün mevcudatın) gizli gerçekliğinin, (zamanı geldiğinde) yazabilmeleri için kendi kavrayış alanları içine gireceği(ni mi sanıyorlar)? ### Şaban Piriş — Kur'an-ı Kerim Türkçe Anlamı Yoksa gayb onların yanında da onlar mı tavsiye ediyor? ### Süleyman Ateş — Kur'an-ı Kerim ve Yüce Meali Yoksa gayb (görülmeyen bilgi) kendilerinin yanındadır da kendileri mi (oradan istediklerini) yazıyorlar? ### Yaşar Nuri Öztürk — Kur'an-ı Kerim Meali Yoksa gayb yanlarında da yazıp duruyorlar mı? ### Mustafa İslamoğlu — Hayat Kitabı Kur’an Ne yani, idraki aşan hakikatlere vakıflar da, onu kendileri mi kayıt altına alıyorlar? ### Erhan Aktaş (Eski Baskı) — Kerim Kur'an Yoksa gayb[1] onların yanında da onlar mı yazıyorlar? _Footnotes_ - [1] Duyu organları ile algılanamayan; görülemeyen, bilinemeyen. ### Ali Rıza Safa — Kur'an-ı Kerim Gerçek Yoksa gizli gerçekler onların yanında da onlar mı yazıyorlar? ### Süleymaniye Vakfı (Eski Baskı) — Süleymaniye Vakfı Meali Yoksa gizli bilgiler onlarda da onu mu yazıyorlar? ### Mehmet Okuyan — Kur’an Meal-Tefsir Yoksa gayb (bilinemeyen şeyler) yanlarında da (ondan) mı yazıyorlar?[1] _Footnotes_ - [1] Benzer mesajlar: Kalem 68:46-47. ### Erhan Aktaş (10.
