| Dr Kamal Omar Allah increases (beyond needs) the provisions for whom He wills, and keeps within the required minimum (for whom He wills). And they rejoiced in the life of this world, whereas the life of this world as compared to the Hereafter is not but just a brief passing enjoyment |
| Dr Laleh Bakhtiar God extends the provision for whom He wills and measures it. They were glad in this present life. And there is nothing in this present life like the world to come but a brief enjoyment |
| Dr Munir Munshey Allah extends or limits the provisions, for whomever He pleases. They are contented with the life of this world. Compared to the afterlife, this life is just a brief comfort |
| Edward Henry Palmer God extends his bounty freely to whomsoever He will, or He metes it out; and they rejoice in the life of this world, but the life of this world is naught but a (temporary) provision compared with the next |
| Farook Malik Allah grants abundantly His provisions to whom He will and sparingly to whom He pleases. The unbelievers rejoice in the life of this world; but brief indeed is the comfort of this worldly life as compared to the life of the hereafter |
| George Sale God giveth provision in abundance unto whom He pleaseth, and is sparing unto whom He pleaseth. Those of Mecca rejoice in the present life; although the present life, in respect of the future, is but a precarious provision |
| Maududi Allah grants the provision to whomsoever He wills abundantly and grants others in strict measure. They exult in the life of the world, although compared with the Hereafter, the life of the world is no more than temporary enjoyment |
