“If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺.”
I think it should be words added in the translation that do not translate directly from the Arabic but add to the context of the Arabic words. This notation seems specific to this translation though.
Every translation is also an interpretation. This is one of the reasons why there is a lot of emphasis on preserving the Quran in Arabic and learning the classical Arabic to understand it.
Quran 29:65
فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ
“If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺.”
What do the ˹˺ symbols signify?
