Is it wrong to worship mainly for what you'll get?

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.

  1. 01 22:11 The renderings differ on the image: Itani has "worships God on edge", Pickthall has "worshippeth Allah upon a narrow marge", Palmer has "(wavering) on a brink", Rodwell has "in a single point", and Sale has "in a wavering manner". The verse sets out what that worship rests on: Itani has "When something good comes his way, he is content with it" and "when an ordeal strikes him, he makes a turnaround". It names the outcome: Pickthall has "He loseth both the world and the Hereafter".
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The five print one verse that describes worship held on a condition, and the question turns on it.

At 22:11 Itani has "among the people is he who worships God on edge", and Pickthall has "he who worshippeth Allah upon a narrow marge". The renderings differ on the image: Palmer has "(wavering) on a brink", Rodwell has "in a single point", and Sale has "in a wavering manner".

The verse says what that worship rests on. Itani has "When something good comes his way, he is content with it" and "when an ordeal strikes him, he makes a turnaround". Sale has "if any tribulation befall him, he turneth himself round". The worship it describes holds while good comes, and is dropped when a trial comes.

The verse names what that costs: Pickthall has "He loseth both the world and the Hereafter", and Itani has "That is the obvious loss". The loss follows the turning away.

The verse does not speak of hoping for a reward from God, and it does not say that wanting good from God makes worship wrong. What it describes is worship that lasts only while things go well.

How intention is weighed, and whether a deed done partly for gain counts, are questions for and jurisprudence, a layer this platform does not hold or show. This study does not quote or weigh any report on them.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

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 rests on

Opens with 22:11.

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 1 passages, each with every cleared translation

1 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.

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani published 2012

And among the people is he who worships God on edge. When something good comes his way, he is content with it. But when an ordeal strikes him, he makes a turnaround. He loses this world and the next. That is the obvious loss.

Compare translations (4)
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall published 1930

And among mankind is he who worshippeth Allah upon a narrow marge so that if good befalleth him he is content therewith, but if a trial befalleth him, he falleth away utterly. He loseth both the world and the Hereafter. That is the sheer loss

Edward Henry Palmer published 1880

And amongst men is one who serves God (wavering) on a brink; and if there befall him good, he is comforted; but if there befall him a trial, he turns round again, and loses this world and the next - that is an obvious loss

John Medows Rodwell published 1861

There are some who serve God in a single point. If good come upon one of them, he resteth in it; but if trial come upon him, he turneth him round (to infidelity) with the loss both of this world and of the next! This same is the clear ruin

George Sale published 1734

There are some men who serve God in a wavering manner, standing, as it were, on the verge of the true religion. If good befall one of them, he resteth satisfied therein; but if any tribulation befall him, he turneth himself round, with the loss both of this world, and of the life to come. This is manifest perdition

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.

Prej njerëzve ka edhe të atillë që e adhurojnë Allahun duke qenë në mëdyshje: nëse u ndodh diçka e mirë, janë të kënaqur; por, nëse i godet ndonjë sprovë, kthehen në mosbesim, duke humbur kështu këtë botë dhe botën tjetër. Pikërisht kjo është humbja e qartë.

Ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους υπάρχει εκείνος που λατρεύει τον Αλλάχ με δισταγμό: αν του έρθει κάτι καλό, είναι καθησυχασμένος μ' αυτό (και συνεχίζει στην πίστη του). Αλλά αν τον πλήττουν κακουχίες, γυρίζει πίσω (εγκαταλείποντας και κατηγορώντας τη θρησκεία του). Έχασε την εγκόσμια ζωή (επειδή η απιστία του δε θα τον σώσει από τις κακουχίες, ούτε θα του φέρει κανένα όφελος), και (έχασε και) τη Μέλλουσα Ζωή. Αυτή είναι πράγματι η προφανής απώλεια.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it1 of the 1 paragraphs signed with this study

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.

The question asks whether worship done mainly for what it brings is wrong. The anchor is 22:11, the verse the question turns on; no live study carries it. The probe 'edge|marge|brink|verge|single point' returns 15 rows at four verses; at 22:11 the words describe the worship itself, and at the other three verses they describe other things. The probe 'turnaround|turneth him round|turneth himself round|turns round|falleth away' returns 5 rows, all at 22:11. The probe 'reward|rewards' returns 630 rows at 246 verses; the five speak of reward often, and this study does not read those verses or weigh them against 22:11. The prayer that asks for this world only, and the prayer that asks for good in both, are read in the study 'Our Lord, give us good in this world and the next' - where is it, and what does it ask? This study does not say how a person's intention is weighed, or whether a deed done partly for gain counts. Those questions belong to and jurisprudence, a layer this platform does not hold or show.
