Translation

EN

No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

God has never had a child. Nor is there any god beside Him- if there were, each god would have taken his creation aside and tried to overcome the others. May God be exalted above what they describe!

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

Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they allege.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Allāh has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him].

TR

Allah çocuk edinmemiştir; O'nun yanında hiçbir tanrı yoktur, olsaydı, her tanrı kendi yarattığı ile beraber gider ve birbirinden üstün olmağa çalışırlardı. Allah onların vasıflandırdıklarından münezzehtir.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Allah evlat edinmemiştir; O'nunla beraber hiçbir ilâh da yoktur. Aksi takdirde her ilâh kendi yarattığını sevk ve idare eder ve bir gün mutlaka onlardan biri diğerine galip gelirdi. Allah, onların yakıştırdıkları şeylerden münezzehtir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Allah asla çocuk edinmemiştir; O’nunla birlikte ilah da yoktur. Aksi takdirde, her ilah kendi yarattığına gider (onunla ilgilenir); mutlaka onlardan biri diğerine üstün gelirdi. Allah onların (müşriklerin) yakıştırmalarından yücedir.

AR

لم يجعل الله لنفسه ولدًا، ولم يكن معه من معبود آخر؛ لأنه لو كان ثمة أكثر مِن معبود لانفرد كل معبود بمخلوقاته، ولكان بينهم مغالبة كشأن ملوك الدنيا، فيختلُّ نظام الكون، تنزَّه الله سبحانه وتعالى وتقدَّس عن وصفهم له بأن له شريكًا أو ولدًا.
