| Mohammad Habib Shakir Or have they associates who have prescribed for them any religion that Allah does not sanction? And were it not for the word of judgment, decision would have certainly been given between them; and surely the unjust shall have a painful punishment |
| Mohammad Shafi Do they have gods, other than Allah, which enjoin upon them a religious law that Allah has not prescribed!?

| Mufti Taqi Usmani Is it that they have associate-gods who have prescribed for them a religion that is not sanctioned by Allah?

| Muhammad Asad Is it that they [who care for no more than this world] believe in forces supposed to have a share in God’s divinity, which enjoin upon them as a moral law something that God has never allowed? Now were it not for [God’s] decree on the final judgment, all would indeed have been decided between them [in this world]: but, verily, grievous suffering awaits the evildoers [in the life to come] |
| Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali Or even do they have associates (with Allah) who have legislated for them as the religion that which Allah has not given permission? And had it not been for the Word of Verdict, indeed it would have been decreed between them, and surely the unjust will have a painful torment |
| Muhammad Sarwar Do they have idols who have established a religion without the permission of God? Had not it been for your Lord's giving them respite for an appointed time, He would certainly have settled their differences once and for all. The unjust will certainly suffer a painful torment |
| Muhammad Taqi Usmani Is it that they have associate-gods who have prescribed for them a religion that is not sanctioned by Allah? Had it not been for a decisive word, the matter would have been decided between them (here in this world). And of course, for the wrongdoers there is a painful punishment (in the Hereafter) |
| Mustafa Khattab Allah Edition Or do they have associate-gods who have ordained for them some ˹polytheistic˺ beliefs, which Allah has not authorized?

| N J Dawood Have they idols which in the practice of their faith have made lawful to them what God has not allowed? Had the Decisive Word not been pronounced already, judgement would have been passed among them. Woeful punishment awaits the wrongdoers |
| Safi Kaskas Or do they have partners who have ordained for them some faith that is not authorized by God? Were it not for [God's] decisive word, Judgment would have been made between them. The unjust will have a painful punishment |
