| Shakir | And they disbelieved in it before, and they utter conjectures with regard to the unseen from a distant place. |
| Sarwar | They had rejected it in their worldly life and expressed disbelief at the unseen (Day of Judgment), considering it less than a remote possibility. |
| Khalifa | They have rejected it in the past; they have decided instead to uphold conjecture and guesswork. |
| Hilali/Khan | Indeed they did disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah, Islam, the Quran and Muhammad SAW) before (in this world), and they (used to) conjecture about the unseen (i.e. the Hereafter, Hell, Paradise, Resurrection and the Promise of Allah, etc. (by saying) all that is untrue), from a far place. |

| Qaribullah | since they disbelieved in it before, guessing at the Unseen from a distant place? |
| George Sale | Since they had before denied him, and reviled the mysteries of faith, from a distant place? |
| JM Rodwell | When they had before denied it, and aimed their shafts at the mysteries from afar? |
| Asad | seeing that aforetime they had been bent on denying the truth, and had been wont to cast scorn, from far away, on something that was beyond the reach of human perception? [The obvious implication is that man's fate in the hereafter will be a consequence of, and invariably conditioned by, his spiritual attitude and the manner of his life during the first, earthly stage of his existence. In this instance, the expression "from far away" is apparently used in a sense similar to sayings like "far off the mark" or "without rhyme or reason", and is meant to qualify as groundless and futile all negative speculations about what the Quran describes as al-ghayb ("that which is beyond the reach of human [or "a created being's"] perception"): in this case, life after death.] |
