What does the Qur'an say about public office as a trust?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 4:58 God commandeth you that YE RESTORE DEPOSITS TO THEIR OWNERS, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. In because it is the verse that joins holding a trust to exercising judgment, in one command. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about a just ruler and just governance? and by the study What does the Qur'an say about keeping trusts and promises?, each with its own reason.
- 02 12:54–55 He said: lo, thou art today in our presence established and trusted. He said: SET ME OVER THE STOREHOUSES OF THE LAND; LO, I AM A SKILLED CUSTODIAN. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is the only place in the Qur'an where someone ASKS for public office, and the qualification he offers is competence in the specific function.
- 03 28:26 One of the two women said: O my father, hire him! For the best man thou canst hire is THE STRONG, THE TRUSTWORTHY. In because it states a two-part test for appointment - capability and trustworthiness - in the plainest terms the text offers.
- 04 33:72 Lo, WE OFFERED THE TRUST unto the heavens and the earth and the hills, but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it; AND MAN ASSUMED IT. Lo, he hath proved a tyrant and a fool. In because it is the widest sense of the word trust in the book and it ends in a verdict. DECLARED DUAL-PLACEMENT from the study What does the Qur'an say about humans as stewards (khalifa) and the trust of the earth?
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Four passages, and two of them are job interviews.
12:54-55 is the more surprising. Joseph, brought out of prison and told he is now established and trusted, does not wait to be assigned a role. He asks: SET ME OVER THE STOREHOUSES OF THE LAND - and gives his reason: I AM A SKILLED CUSTODIAN. The Qur'an contains a man requesting high office and offering technical competence as the ground. It is not presented as immodesty.
28:26 supplies the general test, spoken by a woman recommending a stranger to her father: THE BEST MAN YOU CAN HIRE IS THE STRONG, THE TRUSTWORTHY. Two criteria, and only one is moral. Capability comes first in the sentence.
4:58 is the command that makes this a study about TRUST rather than about jobs. Restore the deposits to their owners, and if you judge between people, judge justly - one verse, two duties, and the text does not separate them. Whatever is held on someone else's behalf is a deposit, and the verse then moves straight to the exercise of judgment.
33:72 is carried here for the widest sense: the trust was offered to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, they refused it in fear, and MAN TOOK IT UP - and the same verse calls him a tyrant and a fool. Any account of office as a trust in this text has to sit beside that verdict.
What is absent is procedure: no verse on how office is conferred, reviewed, or removed. The study What does the Qur'an say about obeying those in authority? takes up obeying authority, on which the text is equally sparse.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 4:58, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 4 passages, each with every cleared translation
4 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer
Verily, God bids you pay your trusts to their owners, and when ye judge between men to judge with justice. Verily, God, excellent is what He admonishes you with; verily, God both hears and sees
Verily, God enjoineth you to give back your trusts to their owners, and when ye judge between men, to judge with fairness. Excellent is the practice to which God exhorteth you. God Heareth, Beholdeth
Moreover God commandeth you to restore what ye are trusted with, to the owners; and when ye judge between men, that ye judge according to equity: And surely an excellent virtue it is to which God exhorteth you; for God both heareth and seeth

Στ’ αλήθεια, ο Αλλάχ σας διατάζει να επιστρέψετε τα καταπιστεύματα στους δικαιούχους τους• και όταν κρίνετε μεταξύ των ανθρώπων να κρίνετε με δικαιοσύνη. Πράγματι, πολύ εξαιρετικό είναι αυτό που σας διατάζει ο Αλλάχ! Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα) και Μπασείρ (Αυτός που βλέπει τα πάντα).

In verità Allāh vi ordina di restituire i depositi ai proprietari, e, se giudicate tra gli uomini, fatelo con giustizia. In verità Allāh vi consiglia il meglio: in verità Allāh è l’Ascoltatore, l’Osservatore.

Gud befaller er att återlämna det som anförtrotts er till dess rättmätiga ägare, och att döma rättvist när ni dömer mellan människor. Utmärkt är det Gud förmanar er till! Gud hör allt, ser allt.

The translators word this verse differently
Have you not observed those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, yet they seek Satanic sources for legislation, in spite of being commanded to reject them? Satan means to mislead them far away.
Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray
Do ye not see those who pretend that they believe in what has been revealed to them, and what was revealed before thee; they wish to refer their judgment to Taghut, but they are bidden to disbelieve therein, and Satan wishes to lead them into a remote error
Hast thou not marked those who profess that they believe in what hath been sent down to thee, and what hath been sent down before thee? Fain would they be judged before Thagout, though commanded not to believe in him; and fain would Satan make them wander with wanderings wide of truth
Hast thou not observed those who pretend they believe in what hath been revealed unto thee, and what been revealed before thee? They desire to go to judgment before Taghut, although they have been commanded not to believe in him; and Satan desireth to seduce them into a wide error

Yet I do not clear myself, for the soul is very urgent to evil, save what my Lord has had mercy on; verily, my Lord is forgiving and merciful
Yet I hold not myself clear, for the heart is prone to evil, save theirs on whom my Lord hath mercy; for gracious is my Lord, Merciful
Neither do I absolutely justify my self: Since every soul is prone unto evil, except those on whom my Lord shall shew mercy; for my Lord is gracious and merciful

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Me të vërtetë, Ne ua ofruam përgjegjësinë qiejve, Tokës dhe maleve, por ato nuk pranuan ta marrin përsipër dhe u frikësuan prej saj, por e pranoi njeriu. Ai qe njëmend i padrejtë (ndaj vetvetes) dhe i paditur (për pasojat).
নিশ্চয় আমি আসমানসমূহ, জমিন ও পর্বতমালার প্রতি এ আমানত(৩৪) পেশ করেছিলাম। অতঃপর তারা তা বহন করতে অস্বীকার করল এবং এতে ভীত হলো। আর মানুষ তা বহন করল। নিশ্চয় সে ছিলো অতিশয় যালিম, একান্তই অজ্ঞ।

ჭეშმარიტად, ჩვენ ცებს, მიწას და მთებს შევთავაზეთ (განსაკუთრებული) პასუხისმგებლობის[1] აღება, მაგრამ მათ უარი თქვეს მის ტარებაზე და შეეშინდათ მისი [რომ ვერ შეძლებდნენ მის შესრულებას]. ხოლო იტვირთა იგი ადამიანმა [ადამმა და მისმა შთამომავლობამ], — რადგან იგი [ადამიანი] უსამართლო და უმეცარია.
Wir haben das anvertraute Gut den Himmeln und der Erde und den Bergen angeboten, aber sie weigerten sich, es zu tragen, sie scheuten sich davor. Der Mensch trug es - wahrlich, er ist sehr oft ungerecht und sehr oft töricht.
Πράγματι, προσφέραμε [ως επιλογή και όχι εντολή] το καταπίστευμα (δηλ. τη θρησκεία και τις υποχρεωτικές πράξεις) στους ουρανούς, τη γη και τα βουνά (που αν θα το τηρούσαν, θα ανταμείβονταν, και αν το παραμελούσαν, θα τιμωρούνταν), αλλά εκείνοι [ως επιλογή τους] αρνήθηκαν να το αντέξουν και το φοβήθηκαν. Αλλά ο άνθρωπος το δέχτηκε, και είναι πράγματι άδικος (για τον εαυτό του) και αδαής (για τη συνέπεια της επιλογής του αν δεν την τηρούσε).
In verità abbiamo proposto l’Autonomia ai cieli, alla terra e ai monti, ma hanno rifiutato di accettarla e hanno avuto paura. Ma l’uomo l’ha accettata: in verità lui era ingiusto e ignorante –
72. Iš tiesų, Mes pasiūlėme Al-Amana (patikėjimą arba moralinę atsakomybę arba sąžiningumą ir visas pareigas, kurias Allahas įsakė) dangums ir žemei, ir kalnams, tačiau jie atsisakė nešti tai ir to bijojo (t. y. bijojo Allaho Kančios). Tačiau žmogus pakėlė tai. Iš tiesų, jis buvo neteisingas (sau) ir neišmanantis (apie to pasekmes). [4]

Воистину, Мы предложили доверенное [Аллахом] небесам, земле и горам, но они отказались нести его и устрашились его, а человек понёс его. Ведь он, воистину, был несправедливым, невежественным.
Ми смо небесима, Земљи и планинама понудили обавезу, па су се суздржали и уплашили да је прихвате, али је преузео човек - а он је према себи заиста неправедан и незналица,
Kwa hakika Sisi tuliwasilisha amana kwa mbingu na ardhi na milima, na vyote hivyo vikakataa kuichukua na vikaogopa. Lakini mwanadamu akaichukua. Hakika yeye amekuwa dhalimu, mjinga.
Vi erbjöd himlarna, jorden och bergen ansvarsbördan men de vägrade bära den, av rädsla. Människan däremot, i sin djupa orättfärdighet och okunskap, tog den på sig.
Biz emaneti göklere, yere ve dağlara sunduk. Onu taşımaktan kaçındılar, ondan korktular. Onu insan yüklendi. Doğrusu o çok zalim ve çok cahildir.
ہم نے اپنی امانت کو آسمانوں پر زمین پر اور پہاڑوں پر پیش کیا لیکن سب نے اس کے اٹھانے سے انکار کردیا اور اس سے ڈر گئے (مگر) انسان نے اسے اٹھا لیا[1] ، وه بڑا ہی ﻇالم جاہل ہے.

The translators word this verse differently
God will punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the idolaters, men and women. And God will redeem the believers, men and women. God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing women, and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful
That God may torment the hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and the idolaters and idolatresses; and that God may turn relenting towards the believing men and believing women; verily, God is ever forgiving, merciful
Therefore will God punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the men and the women who join gods with God; but to the believing men and women will God turn him: for God is Indulgent, Merciful
That God may punish the hypocritical men, and the hypocritical women, and the idolaters, and the idolatresses; and that God may be turned unto the true believers, both men and women; for God is gracious and merciful
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 4:58, 12:54-55, 28:26, 33:72, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - restore + deposits + owners + judge + justly; set + me + over + storehouses; strong + trustworthy; custodian + knowing. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
