Translation

EN

Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favoured are not going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then deny the favours of Allah?

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

God has given some of you more provision than others. Those who have been given more are unwilling to pass their provision on to the slaves they possess so that they become their equals. How can they refuse to acknowledge God’s blessings?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

And Allah hath favoured some of you above others in provision. Now those who are more favoured will by no means hand over their provision to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof. Is it then the grace of Allah that they deny?

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And Allāh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored [i.e., given more] would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess [i.e., slaves] so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?

Allah rızıkda kiminizi diğerlerine üstün tutmuştur. Üstün kılınanlar, emirleri altında bulunanların rızıklarını vermezler. Oysa rızıkta hepsi eşittir. Allah'ın nimetini bile bile inkar mı ediyorlar?

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Allah, rızık yönünden bir kısmınızı diğerlerinden üstün kıldı. Kendilerine bol rızık verilenler, rızıklarını ellerinin altındakilere vermiyorlar ki, onda eşit olsunlar. Durum böyle iken Allah'ın nimetini inkâr mı ediyorlar?

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Allah rızık bakımından kiminizi kiminize üstün (farklı) kılmıştır. Farklı (bol rızık) verilenler, rızıklarını ellerinin altındakilere verip de bu konuda kendilerini onlara eşit kılmazlar. Allah’ın nimet(ler)ini inkâr mı ediyorlar!

والله فَضَّل بعضكم على بعض فيما أعطاكم في الدنيا من الرزق، فمنكم غني ومنكم فقير، ومنكم مالك ومنكم مملوك، فلا يعطي المالكون مملوكيهم مما أعطاهم الله ما يصيرون به شركاء لهم متساوين معهم في المال، فإذا لم يرضوا بذلك لأنفسهم، فلماذا رضوا أن يجعلوا لله شركاء من عبيده؟ إن هذا لَمن أعظم الظلم والجحود لِنعم الله عز وجل.
