Hence, whoever strives hard [in God's cause] does so only for his own good: for, verily, God does not stand in need of anything in all the worlds!

- Mohammad Asad

He that strives, does that for his own soul; for Allah is certainly transcendent and beyond any need of the worlds.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

And whoever strives 'in Allah's cause', only does so for their own good. Surely Allah is not in need of 'any of' His creation.

- Mustafa Khattab

And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

And if any strive (with might and main) they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation. ³⁴²⁸
