Alif Lam Mim Sad
یہ کتاب تیری طرف بھیجی گئی ہے تاکہ تو اس کے ذریعہ سے ڈرائے اور اس سے تیرے دل میں تنگی نہ ہونی چاہیئے اور یہ ایمان والوں کے لیے نصیحت ہے
O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), a Book has been sent down upon you, therefore may not your heart be disinclined towards it, so that you may give warning with it, and as an advice for the Muslims.
A Book sent down to thee -- so let there be no impediment in thy breast because of it -- to warn thereby, and as a reminder to believers:
جو چیز تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تم پر اتری ہے اس کا اتباع کرو اور الله کو چھوڑ کر دوسرے دوستوں کی تابعداری نہ کرو تم لوگ بہت ہی کم نصیحت مانتے ہو
O mankind, follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow other administrators, abandoning this (the Holy Qur’an); very little do you understand.
Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and follow no friends other than He; little do you remember.
اور کتنی بستیاں ہم نے ہلاک کر دی ہیں جن پر ہمارا عذاب رات کو آیا ایسی حالت میں کہ دوپہر کوسونے والے تھے
And many a township did We destroy – so Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.
How many a city We have destroyed! Our might came upon it at night, or while they took their ease in the noontide,
جس وقت ان پر ہمارا عذاب آیا پھر ان کی یہی پکار تھی کہتے تھے بے شک ہم ہی ظالم تھے
Therefore they uttered nothing when Our punishment came to them, except that they said, “Indeed we were the unjust.”
and they but cried, when Our might came upon there, 'We were evildoers.';
پھر ہم ان لوگوں سے ضرور سوال کریں گے جن کے پاس پیغمبر بھیجے گئے تھے اور ان پیغمبروں سے ضرور پوچھیں گے
So undoubtedly We shall question those to whom Our Noble Messengers went, and indeed We shall question the Noble Messengers.
So We shall question those unto whom a Message was sent, and We shall question the Envoys,
پھر اپنے علم کی بناء پر ان کے سامنے بیان کر دیں گے اور ہم کہیں حاضر نہ تھے
So indeed We shall inform them with Our knowledge and We were not absent.
and We shall relate to them with knowledge; assuredly We were not absent.
اورواقعی اس دن وزن بھی ہوگا جس شخص کا پلہ بھاری ہو گا سو ایسے لوگ کامیاب ہوں گے
And on that Day, the weighing will truly be done; so those whose scales prove heavy are the successful.
The weighing that day is true; he whose scales are heavy -- they are the prosperers,
اور جس کا پلہ ہلکا ہو گا سو یہ لوگ ہوں گے جنہوں نے اپنا نقصان کیا اس لیے کہ ہماری آیتوں کا انکار کرتے تھے
And those whose scales are light are the people who put themselves to ruin – the recompense of the injustice they used to do to Our signs.
and he whose scales are light -- they have lost their soul for wronging Our signs.
اور ہم نے تمہیں زمین میں جگہ دی اور اس میں تمہاری زندگی کا سامان بنا دیا تم بہت کم شکر کرتے ہو
And indeed We established you in the earth and in it created for you the means of livelihood; very little thanks do you offer!
We have established you in the earth and there appointed for you livelihood; little thanks you show.
او رہم نے تمہیں پیدا کیا پھر تمہاری صورتیں بنائیں پھر فرشتوں کو حکم دیا کہ آدم کو سجدہ کرو پھر سوائے ابلیس کے سب نے سجدہ کیا وہ سجدہ کرنے والوں میں سے نہ تھا
And indeed We created you, then designed you and then ordered the angels, “Prostrate before Adam”; so they all prostrated, except Iblis (Satan); he did not become of those who prostrate.
We created you, then We shaped you, then We said to the angels: 'Bow yourselves to Adam'; so they bowed themselves, save Iblis -- he was not of those that bowed themselves.
فرمایاتجھے سجدہ کرنے سے کس چیز نے منع کیا ہے جب کہ میں نے تجھے حکم دیا کہا میں اس سے بہتر ہوں تو نے مجھے آگ سے بنایا اور اسے مٹی سے بنایا ہے
Said Allah, “What prevented you, that you did not prostrate when I commanded you?” Answered Iblis, “I am better than him; You created me from fire whereas You created him from clay.”
Said He, 'What prevented thee to bow thyself, when I commanded thee?' Said he, 'I am better than he; Thou createdst me of fire, and him Thou createdst of clay.'
کہاتو یہاں سے اتر جا تجھے یہ لائق نہیں کہ یہاں تکبر کرے پس نکل جا بے شک تو ذلیلوں میں سے ہے
Said Allah, “Therefore go down from here – it does not befit you to stay here and be proud – exit, you are of the degraded.”
Said He, 'Get thee down out of it; it is not for thee to wax proud here, so go thou forth; surely thou art among the humbled.'
کہا مجھے اس دن تک مہلت دے جس دن لوگ قبرو ں سے اٹھائے جائیں گے
He said, “Give me respite till the day when people will be resurrected.”
Said he, 'Respite me till the day they shall be raised.'
فرمایا تجھے مہلت دی گئی ہے
Said Allah, “You are given respite.”
Said He, 'Thou art among the ones that are respited.'
کہا جیسا تو نے مجھے گمراہ کیا ہے میں بھی ضرور ان کی تاک میں تیری سیدھی راہ پر بیٹھوں گا
He said, “Hence I swear by the fact that You sent me astray, I will certainly lay in wait for them on Your Straight Path.”
Said he, 'Now, for Thy perverting me, I shall surely sit in ambush for them on Thy straight path;
پھر ان کے پاس ان کے آگے ان کے پیچھے ان کے دائیں اور ان کے بائیں سےآؤں گا اور تو اکثر کو ان میں سے شکر گزار نہیں پائے گا
“Then I will certainly approach them – from their front and from behind them and from their right and from their left; and You will find most of them not thankful.”
then I shall come on them from before them and from behind them, from their right hands and their left hands; Thou wilt not find most of them thankful.'
فرمایا یہاں سے ذلیل و خوار ہو کر نکل جا جو شخص ان سے تیرا کہا مانے گا میں تم سب کو جہنم میں بھر دوں گا
He said, “Exit from here, rejected, outcast; indeed whoever among them follows your bidding, I will fill hell with all of you.”
Said He, 'Go thou forth from it, despised and banished. Those of them that follow thee -- I shall assuredly fill Gehenna with all of you.'
اور اے آدم تو اور تیری عورت جنت میں رہو پھر جہاں سے چاہو کھاؤ اور اس درخت کے پاس نہ جاؤ ورنہ بے انصافوں میں سے ہو جاؤ گے
And said, “O Adam! You and your wife dwell in Paradise – therefore eat from it from wherever you wish, and do not approach this tree for you will become of those who transgress.”
'O Adam, inherit, thou and thy wife, the Garden, and eat of where you will, but come not nigh this tree, lest you be of the evildoers.'
پھرانہیں شیطان نے بہکایا تاکہان کی شرم گاہیں جو ایک دوسرے سے چھپائی گئی تھیں ان کے سامنے کھول دے اور کہا تمہیں تمہارے رب نے اس درخت سے نہیں روکا مگر اس لیے کہ کہیں تم فرشتے ہو جاؤ یا ہمیشہ رہنے والے ہو جاؤ
Then Satan created apprehensions in their hearts in order to disclose to them matters of their shame which were hidden from them, and said, “Your Lord has forbidden you from this tree, for you may become angels or immortals.”
Then Satan whispered to them, to reveal to them that which was hidden from them of their shameful parts. He said, 'Your Lord has only prohibited you from this tree lest you become angels, or lest you become immortals.'
اور ان کے روبرو قسم کھائی کہ البتہ میں تمہارا خیرا خواہ ہوں
And he swore to them, “Indeed I am a well-wisher for both of you.”
And he swore to them, 'Truly, I am for you a sincere adviser.'
پھر انہیں دھوکہ سے مائل کر لیا پھرجب ان دونوں نے درخت کو چکھا تو ان پر ان کی شرم گاہیں کھل گئیں اور اپنے اوپر بہشت کے پتے جوڑنے لگے اورانہیں ان کے رب نے پکارا کیا میں نے تمہیں اس درخت سے منع نہیں کیا تھا اور تمہیں کہ نہ دیا تھا کہ شیطان تمہارا کھلا دشمن ہے
So he brought them down with deception; and when they tasted from that tree, their shame became manifest to them and they began attaching the leaves of Paradise on themselves; and their Lord said to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree, and tell you that Satan is an open enemy to you?”
So he led them on by delusion; and when they tasted the tree, their shameful parts revealed to them, so they took to stitching upon themselves leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called to them, 'Did not I prohibit you from this tree, and say to you, "Verily Satan is for you a manifest foe"?'
ان دونوں نے کہا اے رب ہمارے ہم نے اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کیا اور اگر تو ہمیں نہ بخشے گا اور ہم پر رحم نہ کرے گا تو ہم ضرور تباہ ہوجائیں گے
They both submitted, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves; so if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, then surely, we are of the losers.”
They said, 'Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if Thou dost not forgive us, and have mercy upon us, we shall surely be among the lost.'
فرمایا یہاں سے اترو تم ایک دوسرے کے دشمن ہو گے اور تمہارے لیے زمین میں ٹھکانا ہے اور ایک وقت تک نفع اٹھانا ہے
He said, “Go down, one of you is a foe unto the other; and for a fixed time you shall stay on earth and feed in it.”
Said He, 'Get you down, each of you an enemy to each. In the earth a sojourn shall be yours, and enjoyment for a time.'
فرمایا تم اسی میں زندہ رہو گے اور اسی میں مرو گے اور اسی سے نکالے جاؤ گے
He said, “You shall live there and there shall you die, and from there only you will be raised.”
Said He, 'Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from there you shall be brought forth.'
اے آدم کی اولاد ہم نے تم پر پوشاک اتاری جو تمہاری شرم گاہیں ڈھانکتی ہیں اور آرائش کے کپڑے بھی اتارے اور پرہیزگاری کا لباس وہ سب سے بہتر ہے یہ الله کی قدرت کی نشانیاں ہیں تاکہ وہ نصیحت حاصل کریں
O Descendants of Adam! We have sent down to you a garment to conceal your shame, and another garment for your elegance; and the garment of piety – that is the best; this is among the signs of Allah, so that they may remember.
Children of Adam! We have sent down on you a garment to cover your shameful parts, and feathers; and the garment of godfearing -- that is better; that is one of God's signs; haply they will remember.
اے آدم کی اولاد تمہیں شیطان نہ بہکائے جیسا کہ اس نے تمہارے ماں باپ کو بہشت سے نکال دیا ان سے ان کے کپڑے اتروائے تاکہ تمہیں ان کی شرمگاہیں دکھائے وہ اور اس کی قوم تمہیں دیکھتی ہے جہاں سے تم انہیں نہیں دیکھتے ہم نے شیطانوں کو ان لوگوں کا دوست بنادیا ہے جوایمان نہیں لاتے
O Descendants of Adam, beware! Do not let Satan put you in trial the way he removed your parents from Paradise and had their garments removed so that their shame become visible to them; indeed he and his tribe see you from where you do not see them; indeed We have made the devils the friends of those who do not believe.
Children of Adam! Let not Satan tempt you as he brought your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their garments to show them their shameful parts. Surely he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you see them not. We have made the Satans the friends of those who do not believe.
اور جب کوئی برا کام کرتے ہیں تو کہتے ہیں کہ ہم نے اسی طرح اپنے باپ دادا کو کرتے دیکھا ہے اور الله نے بھی ہمیں یہ حکم دیا ہے کہہ دو بے شک الله بے حیائی کا حکم نہیں کرتا الله کے ذمہ وہ باتیں کیوں لگاتے ہو جو تمہیں معلوم نہیں
And when they commit any shameful act they say, “We found our forefathers on it and Allah has commanded it to us”; say, “Indeed Allah does not ordain shamelessness; what! You attribute things to Allah, which you do not know?”
And whenever they commit an indecency they say, 'We found our fathers practising it, and God has commanded us to do it.' Say: 'God does not command indecency; what, do you say concerning God such things as you know not?'
کہہ دو میرے رب نے انصاف کا حکم دیا ہے اور ہر نماز کےوقت اپنے منہ سیدھے کرو اور اس کے خالص فرمانبردار ہو کر اسے پکارو جس طرح تمہیں پہلے پیدا کیا ہے اسی طرح دوبارہ پیدا ہو گے
Say, “My Lord has ordained justice; and set your attention straight every time you offer pray and worship Him, as only His devoted worshippers; the way He brought you into being, in the same manner will you return.”
Say: 'My Lord has commanded justice. Set your faces in every place of worship and call on Him, making your religion sincerely His. As He originated you so you will return;
ایک جماعت کو ہدایت دی اور ایک جماعت پر گمراہی ثابت ہو چکی انہوں نے الله کو چھوڑ کر شیطان کو اپنا دوست بنایا ہے اور خیال کرتے ہیں کہ وہ ہدایت پر ہیں
He has guided one group, and one group’s error has been proved; instead of Allah, they have chosen the devil as their friend and they assume that they are on guidance!
a part He guided, and a part justly disposed to error -- they have taken Satans for friends instead of God, and think them guided.'
اے آدم کی اولاد تم مسجد کی حاضری کے وقت اپنا لباس پہن لیا کرو اور کھاؤ اور پیئو اور حد سے نہ نکلو بے شک الله حد سے نکلنے والوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا
O Descendants of Adam! Adorn yourself when you go to the mosque, and eat and drink, and do not cross limits; indeed He does not like the transgressors.
Children of Adam! Take your adornment at every place of worship; and eat and drink, but be you not prodigal; He loves not the prodigal.
کہہ دو الله کی زینت کو کس نے حرام کیا ہے جو اس نے اپنے بندو ں کے واسطے پیدا کی ہے اورکس نے کھانے کی ستھری چیزیں (حرام کیں) کہہ دو دنیا کی زندگی میں یہ نعمتیں اصل میں ایمان والوں کے لیے ہیں قیامت کے دن خالص انہیں کے لیے ہوجائیں گی اسی طرح ہم آیتیں مفصل بیان کرتے ہیں ان کے لیے جو سمجھتے ہیں
Say, “Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His bondmen, and the good food?” Say, “That is for the believers in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection it will be for them only”; this is how We explain Our verses in detail for people of knowledge.
Say: 'Who has forbidden the ornament of God which He brought forth for His servants, and the good things of His providing?' Say: 'These, on the Day of Resurrection, shall be exclusively for those who believed in this present life. So We distinguish the signs for a people who know.'
کہہ دو میرے رب نے صرف بے حیائی کی باتو ں کو حرام کیا ہے خواہ وہ علانیہ ہوں یا پوشیدہ اور ہر گناہ کواور ناحق کسی پر ظلم کرنے کو بھی اور یہ کہ الله پر وہ باتیں کہو جو تم نہیں جانتے
Say, “My Lord has forbidden the indecencies, the apparent among them and the hidden, and sin and wrongful excesses, and forbidden that you ascribe partners with Allah for which He has not sent down any proof, and forbidden that you say things concerning Allah of which you do not have knowledge.”
Say: 'My Lord has only forbidden indecencies, the inward and the outward, and sin, and unjust insolence, and that you associate with God that for which He sent down never authority, and that you say concerning God such as you know not.
اور ہر ایک گروہ کے لیے ایک معیاد معین ہے پھر جب وہ معیاد ختم ہو گی اور وقت نہ ایک گھڑی پیچھے ہٹیں گے اور نہ آگے بڑھیں گے
And every group has a promise; so when its promise comes, it cannot be postponed for a moment or brought forward.
To every nation a term; when their term comes they shall not put it back by a single hour nor put it forward.
اے ادم کی اولاد اگر تم میں سے تمہارے پاس رسول آئیں جو تمہیں میری آیتیں سنائیں پھر جو شخص ڈرے گا اور اصلاح کرے گا ایسوں پر کوئی خوف نہ ہوگا اور نہ وہ غم کھائیں گے
O Descendants of Adam! If Noble Messengers from among you come to you narrating My verses – so whoever practices piety and reforms – upon him shall be no fear nor shall he grieve.
Children of Adam! If there should come to you Messengers from among you, relating to you My signs, then whosoever is godfearing and makes amends -- no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow.
اور جنہوں نے ہماری آیتو ں کو جھٹلایا اوران سے تکبر کیا وہی دوزخی ہیں وہ اس میں ہمیشہ رہنے والے ہوں گے
And those who denied Our signs and were conceited towards them, are the people of hell-fire; they will remain in it forever.
And those that cry lies to Our signs, and wax proud against them -- those shall be the inhabitants of the Fire, therein dwelling forever.
پھر اس سے زیادہ ظالم کون ہوگا الله پر بہتان باندھے یا اس کے حکموں کو جھٹلائے ان لوگوں کا جو کچھ نصیب ہے وہ ان کو مل جائے گا یہاں تک کہ جب ان کے ہاں ہمارے بھیجے ہوئے فرشتے ان کی روح قبض کرنے کے لیے آئيں گے تو کہیں گے کہ وہ کہاں گئے الله کو چھوڑ کر جن کی تم عبادت کرتے تھے کہیں گے ہم سے سب غائب ہو گئے اور اپنے کافر ہونے کااقرار کرنے لگیں گے
So who is more unjust than one who fabricated a lie against Allah or denied His signs? Their written fate will reach them; until when Our sent angels come to remove their souls, hence they say to them, “Where are they whom you used to worship besides Allah?” They say, “We have lost them” and they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.
And who does greater evil than he who forges against God a lie, or cries lies to His signs? Those - their portion of the Book shall reach them; till, when Our messengers come to them, to take them away, they say, 'Where is that you were calling on, beside God?' They will say, 'They have gone astray from us, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.
فرمائے گا جنوں اور آدمیوں میں سے جو امتیں تم سے پہلے ہو چکی ہیں ان کے ساتھ دوزخ میں داخل ہو جاؤ جب ایک امت داخل ہو گی تو دوسری پر لعنت کرے گی یہاں تک کہ جب اس میں سب گر جائیں گے تو ن کے پچھلے پہلوں سے کہیں گے اے رب ہمارے ہمیں انہوں نے گمراہ کیا سو تو انہیں آگ کا دگنا عذاب دے فرمائے گا کہ دونوں کو دگنا ہے لیکن تم نہیں جانتے
Allah says to them, “Join the groups of jinns and mankind who have entered hell before you”; when a group enters, it curses the other; until when they have all gone in, the latter groups will say regarding the former, “Our Lord! It is these who led us astray, so give them double the punishment of the fire”; He will say, “For each one is double – but you do not know.”
He will say, 'Enter among nations that passed away before you, jinn and mankind, into the Fire.' Whenever any nation enters, it curses its sister-nation; till, when they have all successively come there, the last of them shall say to the first of them, 'O our Lord, these led us astray; so give them a double chastisement of the Fire.' He will say, 'Unto each a double, but you know not.
اور پہلے پچھلوں سے کہیں گے پس تمہیں ہم پر کوئی فضیلت نہیں پس بسب اپنی کمائی کے عذاب چکھو
And the preceding groups will say to the latter, “So you too were no better than us, therefore taste the punishment for what you have done!”
The first of them shall say to the last of them, 'You have no superiority over us, then; so taste the chastisement for what you have been earning.'
بے شک جنہوں نے ہماری آیتو ں کو جھٹلایا اوران کے مقابلہ میں تکبر کیا ان کے لیے آسمان کے دروازے نہیں کھولے جائیں گے اورنہ وہ جنت میں داخل ہوں گے یہاں تک کہ اونٹ سوئی کے ناکے میں گھس جائے اور ہم گناہگاروں کو اسی طرح سزا دیتے ہیں
Indeed those who denied Our signs and were conceited towards them – the gates of the heavens will not be opened for them nor will they enter Paradise until the camel goes through the needle’s eye*; and this is the sort of reward We give the guilty. (* Which will never happen.)
Those that cry lies to Our signs and wax proud against them the gates of heaven shall not be opened to them, nor shall they enter Paradise until the camel passes through the eye of the needle. Even so We recompense the sinners;
ان کے لیے دوزخ کا بچھونا اور اوپر سے اوڑھنا ہے اور ہم ظالموں کو ایسی ہی سزا دیا کرتے ہیں
Their beds and their coverings – both are fire; and this is the sort of reward We give the unjust.
Gehenna shall be their cradle, above them coverings. Even so We recompense the evildoers.
اور جو ایمان لانے اور نیکیاں کیں ہم کسی پر بوجھ نہیں رکھتے مگر اس کی طاقت کےموافق وہی بہشتی ہیں وہ اس میں ہمیشہ رہنے والے ہیں
And those who accepted faith and performed good deeds according to their capacity – We do not burden any one, except within its capacity – are the people of Paradise; they shall abide in it forever.
And those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness -- We charge not any soul, save according to its capacity; those are the inhabitants of Paradise, therein dwelling forever;
اور جوکچھ ان کے دلو ں میں خفگی ہو گی ہم اسے دور کردیں گے ان کے نیچے نہریں بہتی ہوں گی اور وہ کہیں گےکہ الله کاشکر ہے جس نے ہمیں یہاں تک پہنچایا اور ہم راہ نہ پاتے اگر الله ہماری رہنمائی نہ فرماتا بے شک ہمارے رب کے رسول سچی بات لائے تھے جور آواز آئے گی کہ یہ جنت ہے تم اپنے اعمال کے بدلے اس کے وارث ہو گئے ہو
And We have removed resentment from their hearts – rivers will flow beneath them; and (while entering Paradise) they will say, “All praise is to Allah, Who guided us to this; we would not have attained the right path if Allah had not guided us; indeed the Noble Messengers of our Lord brought the truth”; and it is proclaimed, “You have received this Paradise as an inheritance for what you used to do.”
We shall strip away all rancour that is in their breasts; and underneath them rivers flowing; and they will say, 'Praise belongs to God, who guided us unto this; had God not guided us, we had surely never been guided. Indeed, our Lord's Messengers came with the truth.' And it will be proclaimed: 'This is your Paradise; you have been given it as your inheritance for what you did.'
اور بہشت والے دوزخیوں کو پکاریں گے کہ ہم نے وعدہ سچا پایا جو ہمارے رب نے ہم سے کیا تھا آیاتم بھی اپنے رب کے وعدہ کو سچا پایا وہ کہیں گے ہاں پھر ایک پکارنے والا ان کے درمیان پکارے گا کہ ان ظالمو ں پر الله کی لعنت ہے
And the people of Paradise said to the people of hell, “We have surely received what our Lord had truly promised us – so have you also received what your Lord had truly promised?” They said, “Yes”; and an announcer between them proclaimed, “The curse of Allah is upon the unjust.” –
The inhabitants of Paradise will call to the inhabitants of the Fire: 'We have found that. which our Lord promised us true; have you found what your Lord promised you true?' 'Yes,' they will say. And then a herald shall proclaim between them: 'God's curse is on the evildoers
جو الله کی راہ سے روکتے تھے اور اسے ٹیڑھا کرنا چاہتے تھے اور وہ آخرت کے منکر تھے
“Those who prevent from the path of Allah and wish to distort it; and who disbelieve in the Hereafter.”
who bar from God's way, desiring to make it crooked, disbelieving in the world to come.
اور ان دونوں کے درمیان ایک دیوار ہو گی اور اعراف کے اوپر ایسے مرد ہوں گے کہ ہر ایک کو اس کی نشانی سے پہچان لیں گے اور جنت والوں کو پکار کر کہیں گے کہ تم پر سلام ہو وہ ابھی جنت میں داخل نہیں ہوئے اور امیدوار ہیں
Between Paradise and Hell is a veil; and on the Heights will be some men who will recognise them all by their foreheads; and they call to the people of Paradise, “Peace be upon you”; they have not entered Paradise and they yearn for it.
And between them is a veil, and on the Ramparts are men knowing each by their mark, who shall call to the inhabitants of Paradise: 'Peace be upon you! They have not entered it, for all their eagerness.'
اورجب ان کی نگاہ دوزخ والوں کی طرف پھرے گی تو کہیں گے اے رب ہمارے ہمیں ظالموں کے ساتھ نہ ملا
And when their eyes turn towards the people of hell, they will say, “Our Lord! Do not put us along with the unjust.”
And when their eyes are turned towards the inhabitants of the Fire they shall say, 'Our Lord, do not Thou assign us with the people of the evildoers.'
اور اعراف والے پکاریں گے جنہیں وہ ان کی نشانی سے پہچانتے ہوں گے کہیں گے تمہاری جماعت تمہارے کسی کام نہ آئی اور نہ وہ جو تم تکبر کیا کرتے تھے
And the men on the Heights will call to some men whom they recognise by their foreheads, and say, “What benefit did your derive from your populace and from what you prided in?”
And the dwellers on the Battlements shall call to certain men they know by their sign: 'Your amassing has not availed you, neither your waxing proud.
یہ وہی ہیں جن کے متعلق تم قسم کھاتے تھے کہ انہیں الله کی رحمت نہیں پہنچے گی (انہیں کہا گیا ہے) جنت میں چلے جاؤ تم پر نہ ڈر ہے اور نہ تم غمگین ہو گے
“Are these the people (Muslims) regarding whom you swore that Allah would not have mercy on them at all? Whereas to the Muslims it has been said ‘Enter Paradise; you shall have no fear nor any grief.’”
Are these the ones that you swore God would never reach with mercy?' 'Enter Paradise; no fear upon you, nor shall you sorrow.
اور دوزخ والے بہشت والوں کو پکاریں گے کہ ہم پر تھوڑا سا پانی بہا دو یا کچھ اس چیز میں سے دو جو تمہیں الله نے رزق دیا ہے کہیں گے بے شک الله نے انہیں دونوں چیزوں کو کافروں پر حرام کیا ہے
And the people of hell will cry out to the people of Paradise, “Provide us some benefit from your water or from the food Allah has provided you”; they will say, “Indeed Allah has forbidden both to the disbelievers.”
The inhabitants of the Fire shall call to the inhabitants of Paradise: 'Pour on us water, or of that God has provided you!' They will say: 'God has forbidden them to the unbelievers
جنہوں نے اپنا دین تماشا اور کھیل بنایا اور انہیں دنیا کی زندگی نے دھوکے میں ڈال دیا ہے سو آج ہم انہیں بھلا دیں گے جس طرح انہوں نے اس دن کی ملاقات کو بھلا دیا تھا اور جیسا وہ ہماری آیتوں سے انکار کرتے تھے
People who made their religion a sport and pastime, and whom the worldly life deceived; so this day We will disregard them, the way they had neglected their confronting of this day, and the way they used to deny Our signs.
who have taken their religion as a diversion and a sport, and whom the present life has deluded.' -- Therefore today We forget them as they forgot the encounter of this their day, and that they denied Our signs.
اور ہم نے ان کے پاس ایک ایسی کتاب پہنچا دی ہے جسے ہم نے اپنے علم کامل سے بہت ہی واضح کر کے بیان کر دیا ہے وہ ہدایت ہے اوررحمت ہے
And indeed We brought to them a Book, which We have explained in detail with a great knowledge – a guidance and a mercy for people who believe.
And We have brought to them a Book that We have well distinguished, resting on knowledge, a guidance and a mercy unto a people that believe.
ان لوگو ں کے لیے ےجو ایمان لے آئے ہیں انہیں اور کسی بات کا انتظار نہیں صرف آخری نتیجہ کا انتظار ہے جس دن اس کا آخری نتیجہ سامنے آئے گا اس دن جو اسے پہلے بھولے ہوئے تھے کہیں گے کہ واقعی ہمارے رب کے رسول کی سچی باتیں لائے تھے سو اب کیا کوئی ہمارا سفارشی ہے جو ہماری سفارش کر ےیاکیا ہم پھر واپس بھیجے جا سکتے ہیں تاکہ ہم ان کے اعمال کے خلاف جنہیں کیا کرتے تھے دوسرے اعمال کریں بے شک انہوں نے اپنے آپ کو خسارے میں ڈا ل دیا اور جو باتیں بناتے تھے وہ سب گم ہو گئیں
What do they await, except for the result foretold by that Book to appear? The day when the result foretold by it occurs, those who had previously forgotten it from the beginning (the disbelievers) will exclaim, “Indeed the Noble Messengers of our Lord had brought the truth! Do we have any intercessors who may intercede for us? Or can we be returned (to earth), so we may do contrary to what we have done before?” Indeed they have put themselves into ruin, and have lost the things they fabricated.
Do they look for aught else but its interpretation? The day its interpretation comes, those who before forgot it shall say, 'Indeed, our Lord's Messengers came with the truth. Have we then any intercessors to intercede for us, or shall we be returned, to do other than that we have done?' They have indeed lost their souls, and that which they were forging has gone astray from them.
بے شک تمہارا رب الله ہے جس نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو چھ دن میں پیدا کیا پھرعرش پر قرار پکڑا رات سے دن کو ڈھانک دیتا ہے وہ اس کے پیچھے دوڑتا ہوا آتا ہے اور سورج اورچاند اور ستارے اپنے حکم کے تابعدار بنا کر پیدا کیے اسی کا کام ہے پیدا کرنا اور حکم فرمانا الله بڑی برکت والا ہے جو سارے جہان کا رب ہے
Indeed your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then in the manner befitting His Majesty, ascended the Throne (of control); He covers the night with the day, which hastily follows it, and made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient to His command; pay heed! Only He has the power to create and command; Most Auspicious (Propitious) is Allah, the Lord Of The Creation.
Surely your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days -- then sat Himself upon the Throne, covering the day with the night it pursues urgently -- and the sun, and the moon, and the stars subservient, by His command. Verily, His are the creation and the command. Blessed be God, the Lord of all Being.
اپنے رب کو عاجزی اور چپکے سے پکارو اسے حد سے بڑھنے والے پسند نہیں آتے
Pray to your Lord crying humbly, and softly; indeed He does not love the transgressors.
Call on your Lord, humbly and secretly; He loves not transgressors.
اور زمین میں اس کی اصلاح کے بعد فساد مت کرو اور اسے ڈر اور طمع سے پکارو بے شک اللهکی رحمت نیکو کاروں سے قریب ہے
And do not spread turmoil in the earth after its reform, and pray to Him with fear and hope; indeed Allah’s mercy is close to the virtuous.
Do not corruption in the land, after it has been set, right; and call on Him fearfully, eagerly -- surely the mercy of God is nigh to the good-doers;
اور وہی ہے جو مینہ سے پہلے خوشخبری دینے والی ہوائیں چلاتا ہے یہاں تک کہ جب ہوائیں بھاری بادلو ں کو اٹھا لاتی ہیں تو ہم ا س بادل کو مردہ شہر کی طرف ہانک دیتے ہیں پھر ہم ا س بادل سے پانی اتارتے ہیں پھر اس سے سب طرح کے پھل نکالتے ہیں اسی طرح ہم مردوں کو نکالیں گے تاکہ تم نصیحت حاصل کرو
And it is He Who sends the winds giving glad tidings, ahead of His mercy; until when they come bearing heavy clouds, We drove it towards a city devoid of vegetation, and then rained water upon it, then produced fruits of various kinds from it; this is how We will bring forth the dead, so that you may heed advice.
It is He who looses the winds, bearing good tidings before His mercy, till, when they are charged with heavy clouds, We drive it to a dead land and therewith send down water, and bring forth, therewith all the fruits. Even so We shall bring forth the dead; haply you will remember.
اور جو شہر پاکیزہ ہے اس کا سبزہ اس کے رب کے حکم سے نکلتا ہے اور جو اس میں خراب ہے جو کچھ اس میں سے نکلتا ہے ناقص ہی ہوتا ہے اسی طرح ہم شکر گزاروں کے لیے مختلف طریقوں سے آیتیں بیان کرتے ہیں
And from the good land comes forth its vegetation by the command of Allah; and from the infertile land, nothing comes forth except a little with difficulty; this is how We explain Our signs in different ways, for people who are thankful.
And the good land -- its vegetation comes forth by the leave of its Lord, and the corrupt -- it comes forth but scantily. Even so We turn about the signs for a people that are thankful.
بے شک ہم نے نوح کو اس کی قوم کی طرف بھیجا پس اس نے کہا اے میری قوم الله کی بندگی کرو اس کے سوا تمہارا کوئی معبود نہیں میں تم پر ایک بڑے دن کے عذاب سے ڈرتا ہوں
Indeed We sent Nooh to his people – he therefore said, “O my people! Worship Allah – you do not have any God except Him; indeed I fear for you the punishment of the Great Day (of Resurrection).”
And We sent Noah to his people; and he said, 'O my people, serve God! You have no god other' than He; truly, I fear for you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'
اس کی قو م کے سرداروں نے کہا ہم تجھے صریح گمراہی میں دیکھتے ہیں
The leaders of his people said, “Indeed we see you in open error.”
Said the Council of his people, 'We see thee in manifest error.'
فرمایا اے میری قوم میں ہرگز گمراہ نہیں ہوں لیکن میں جہان کے پروردگار کی طرف سے بھیجا ہوا ہوں
He said, “O my people! There is no straying in me – I am in fact a Noble Messenger from the Lord Of The Creation.”
Said he, 'My people, there is no error in me; but I am a Messenger from the Lord of all Being.'
تمہیں اپنے رب کے پیغام پہنچاتا ہوں اور تمہیں نصیحت کرتا ہوں اور الله کی طرف سے وہ باتیں جانتا ہوں جو تم نہیں جانتے
“Conveying to you the messages of my Lord and wishing good for you, and I know from Allah what you do not know.”
I deliver to you the Messages of my Lord, and I advise you sincerely; for I know from God that you know not.
کیا تمہیں اس بات سے تعجب ہوا کہ تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تم ہی میں سے ایک مرد کی زبانی تمہارے پاس نصیحت آئی ہے تاکہ وہ تمہیں ڈرائے اورتاکہ تم پرہیزگار ہو جاؤ اور تاکہ تم پرحم کیے جاؤ
“And are you surprised that an advice came to you from your Lord through a man amongst you, so that he may warn you and that you may fear, and so that there be mercy upon you?”
What, do you wonder that a reminder from your Lord should come to you by the lips of a man from among you? That he may warn you, and you be godfearing, haply to find mercy.'
پھر انہو ں نے اسے جھٹلایا پھر ہم نے اسے اور ا سکے ساتھیوں کو کشتی میں بچا لیا اور جو ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلاتے تھے انہیں غرق کر دیا بے شک وہ لوگ اندھے تھے
In response they denied him, so We rescued him and those with him in the ship, and We drowned those who denied Our signs; indeed they were a blind group.
But they cried him lies; so We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark, and We drowned those who cried lies to Our signs; assuredly they were a blind people.
اور قوم عاد کی طرف ان کے بھائی ہود کو بھیجا فرمایا اے میری قوم الله کی بندگی کرو اس کے سوا تمہارا کوئی معبود نہیں سو کیا تم ڈرتے نہیں
And We sent Hud to the people of Aad from their own community; he said, “O my people! Worship Allah – you do not have any God except Him; so do you not fear?”
And to Ad their brother Hood; he said, 'O my people, serve God! You have no god other than He; will you not be godfearing?'
اس کی قوم کےکافر سردار بولےہم تو تمہیں بے وقوف سمجھتے ہیں اور ہم تجھے جھوٹا خیال کرتے ہیں
The disbelieving leaders of his people said, “Indeed we consider you foolish and think you are a liar.”
Said the Council of the unbelievers of his people, 'We see thee in folly, and we think that thou art one of the liars.'
فرمایا اے میری قوم میں بے وقوف نہیں ہوں لیکن میں پروردگار عالم کی طرف سے بھیجا ہوا ہوں
He said, “O my people! I do not have any concern with foolishness and I am in fact a Noble Messenger from the Lord Of The Creation.”
Said he, 'My people, there is no folly in me; but I am a Messenger from the Lord of all Being.'
تمہیں اپنے رب کے پیغام پہنچاتا ہوں اور تمہارا امانت دار خیر خواہ ہوں
“I convey to you the messages of my Lord and am your trustworthy well-wisher.”
I deliver to you the Messages of my Lord; I am your adviser sincere, faithful.
کیا تمہیں تعجب ہوا کہ تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تمہیں میں سے ایک مرد کی زبانی تمہارے پاس نصیحت آئی ہے تاکہ تمہیں ڈرائے اور یاد کرو جب کہ تمہیں قوم نوح کے بعد جانشین بنا یا اورڈیل ڈول میں تمہیں پھیلاؤ زیادہ دیا سو الله کی نعمتوں کو یاد کرو تاکہ تم نجات پاؤ
“And are you surprised that an advice came to you from your Lord through a man amongst you, so that he may warn you? Remember when He made you the successors of Nooh’s people, and enlarged your bodies; therefore remember Allah’s favours, so that you may attain good.”
What, do you wonder that a reminder from your Lord should come to you by the lips of a man from among you? That he may warn you; and remember when He appointed you as successors after the people of Noah, and increased you in stature broadly; remember God's bounties; haply you will prosper.'
انہوں نے کہا کیا تو ہمارے پاس اس لیے آیا ہے کہ ہم ایک الله کی بندگی کریں اور ہمارے باپ دادا جنہیں پوجتے رہے انہیں چھوڑ دیں پس جس چیز سے تو ہمیں ڈراتا ہے وہ لے آ اگرتو سچا ہے
They said, “Have you come to us in order that we worship only Allah, and abandon those whom our ancestors worshipped?! So bring upon us what you promise us, if you are truthful.”
They said, 'Why, hast thou come to us that we may serve God alone, and forsake that our fathers served? Then bring us that thou promisest us, if thou speakest truly.'
فرمایا تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تم پر عذاب اور غصہ واقع ہو چکا مجھ سے ان ناموں پر کیوں جھگڑتے ہو جوتم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادؤں نے مقرر کیے ہیں الله نے ان کے لیے کوئی دلیل نہیں اتاری سو انتظار کرو میں بھی تمہارے ساتھ انتظار کرنے والا ہوں
He said, “Indeed the punishment and the wrath of your Lord have fallen upon you; what! You needlessly dispute with me regarding the names you and your ancestors have fabricated? Allah has not sent down any proof concerning them; therefore wait – I too await with you.”
Said he, 'Anger and wrath from your Lord have fallen upon you. What, do you dispute with me regarding names you have named, you and your fathers, touching which God has sent down never authority? Then watch and wait; I shall be with you watching and waiting.'
پھر ہم نے اسے اور اس کے ساتھیوں کو اپنی رحمت سے بچا لیا اور جو ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلاتے تھے ان کی جڑ کاٹ دی اور وہ مومن نہیں تھے
We therefore rescued him and those with him by a great mercy from Us, and We cut off the lineage of those who denied Our signs – and they were not believers.
So We delivered him, and those with him, by a mercy from Us; and We cut off the last remnant of those who cried lies to Our signs and were not believers.
اور ثمود کی طرف ان کے بھائی صالح کو بھیجا فرمایا اے میری قوم الله کی بندگی کرو اس کے سوا تمہارا کوئی معبود نہیں تمہیں تمہراے رب کی طرف سے دلیل پہنچ چکی ہے یہ الله کی اونٹنی تمہارے لیے نشانی ہے سو اسے چھوڑ دو کہ الله کی زمین میں کھائے اور اسے بری طرح سے ہاتھ نہ لگاؤ ورنہ تمہیں دردناک عذاب پکڑے گا
And We sent Saleh to the tribe of Thamud, from their own community; he said, “O my people! Worship Allah – you do not have any God except Him; indeed a clear proof has come to you from your Lord; this is Allah’s she-camel – a sign for you – so leave her free to feed in Allah’s earth, and do not touch her with evil intentions for a painful punishment will seize you.”
And to Thamood their brother Salih; he said, 'O my people, serve God! You have no god other than He; there has now come to you a clear sign from your Lord -- this is the She-camel of God, to be a sign for you. Leave her that she may eat in God's earth, and do not touch her with evil, lest you be seized by a painful chastisement.
اور یاد کرو جب کہ تمہیں عاد کے بعد جانشین بنایا اور تمہیں زمین میں جگہ دی کہ نرم زمین میں محل بناتے ہو اور پہاڑو ں میں گھر تراشتے ہو سو الله کے احسان کو یاد کرو اور زمین میں فساد مت مچاتے پھرو
“And remember when He made you successors of A’ad and gave you a region in the earth, so you now build palaces in the soft plains and carve houses in rocks; therefore remember Allah’s favours and do not roam the earth spreading turmoil.”
And remember when He appointed you successors after Ad, and lodged you in the land, taking to yourselves castles of its plains, and hewing its mountains into houses. Remember God's bounties, and do not mischief in the earth, working corruption.'
اس قوم کے متکبر سرداروں نے غریبوں سے کہا جو ایمان لاچکے تھے کیا تمہیں یقن ہے کہ صالح کو اس کے رب نے بھیجا ہے انہوں نے کہا جو وہ لے کر آیا ہے ہم اس پرایمان لانے والے ہیں
The proud leaders of his people (mockingly) said to the weak Muslims, “Do you know that Saleh is (really) the Noble Messenger of his Lord?” They said, “We believe in whatever he has been sent with.”
Said the Council of those of his people who waxed proud to those that were abased, to those of them who believed, 'Do you know that Salih is an Envoy from his Lord?' They said, 'In the Message he has been sent with we are believers.'
متکبروں نے کہا جس پر تمہیں یقین ہے ہم اسے نہیں مانتے
The proud ones said, “We deny what you have believed in.”
Said the ones who waxed proud, 'As for us, we are unbelievers in the thing in which you believe.'
پھر اونٹنی کے پاؤں کاٹ ڈالے اور اپنے رب کے حکم سے سرکشی کی اور کہا اے صالح لے آ ہم پر جس سے تو ہمیں ڈراتا تھا اگر تو رسول ہے
So they hamstrung the she-camel and rebelled against the command of their Lord and said, “O Saleh! Bring upon us what you promise us, if you are a Noble Messenger.”
So they hamstrung the She-camel and turned in disdain from the commandment of their Lord, saying, 'O Salih, bring us that thou promisest us, if thou art an Envoy.'
پس انہیں زلزلہ نے آ پکڑا پھر صبح کو اپنے گھروں میں اوندھے پڑے ہوئے رہ گئے
Therefore the earthquake seized them, so at morning they remained lying flattened in their homes.
So the earthquake seized them, and morning found them in their habitation fallen prostrate.
پھر صالح ان سے منہ موڑ کر چلے اور فرمایا اے میری قوم میں تمہیں اپنے رب کا پیغام پہنچا چکا اور تمہاری خیر خواہی کی لیکن تم خیر خواہوں کو پسند نہیں کرتے تھے
Saleh therefore turned away from them and said, “O my people! Indeed I did deliver my Lord’s message to you and wished you good, but you do not want well-wishers.” (The people in the graves can hear the speech of those who are on earth.)
So he turned his back on them, and said, 'O my people, I have delivered to you the Message of my Lord, and advised you sincerely; but you do not love sincere advisers.'
اور لوط کو بھیجا جب اس نے اپنی قوم کو کہا کیا تم ایسی بے حیائی کرتے ہو کہ تم سے پہلے اسے جہان میں کسی نے نہیں کیا
And We sent Lut – when he said to his people, “What! You commit the shameful acts which no one in the creation has ever done before you?”
And Lot, when he said to his people, 'What, do you commit such indecency as never any being in all the world committed before you?
بے شک تم عورتوں کو چھوڑ کر مردوں سے شہوت رانی کرتے ہو بلکہ تم حد سے بڑھنے والے ہو
“You lustfully go towards men, instead of women! In fact, you have transgressed the limits.”
See, you approach men lustfully instead of women; no, you are a people that do exceed.'
اور اس کی قوم نے کوئی جواب نہیں دیا مگر یہی کہا کہ انہیں اپنےشہر سے نکال دو یہ لوگ بہت ہی پاک بننا چاہتے ہیں
And his people had no answer except to say, “Turn them out of your dwellings; these are people who wish purity!”
And the only answer of his people was that they said, 'Expel them from your city; surely they are folk that keep themselves clean!'
پھر ہم نے اسےاور اس کے گھر والوں کو سوائے اس کی بیوی کے بچا لیا کہ وہ وہاں رہنے والو ں میں رہ گئی
And We rescued him and his family, except his wife – she became of those who stayed behind.
So We delivered him and his family, except his wife; she was one of those that tarried.
اور ہم نے ان پر مینہ برسایا پھر دیکھیئے گناہگاروں کا کیا انجام ہوا
And We rained a shower (of stones) upon them; therefore see what sort of fate befell the culprits!
And We rained down upon them a rain; so behold thou, how was the end of the sinners!
اورمدین کی طرف اس کے بھائی شعیب کو بھیجا فرمایااے میری قوم الله کی بندگی کرو اس کے سوا تمہار کوئی معبود نہیں تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تمہارے پاس دلیل پہنچ چکی ہے سو ناپ او رتول کو پورا کرو اور لوگوں کو ان کی چیزیں گھٹا کر نہ دو اور زمین میں اس کی اصلاح کے بعد فساد مت کرو یہ تمہارے لیے بہتر ہے اگر تم ایمان دار ہو
And We sent Shuaib to Madyan from their community; he said, “O my people! Worship Allah – you do not have any God except Him; indeed a clear proof has come to you from your Lord, so measure and weigh in full and do not give the people their goods diminished, and do not spread turmoil in the earth after it is organised; this is for your good, if you believe.”
And to Midian their brother Shuaib; he said, 'O my people, serve God! You have no god other than He; there has now come to you a clear sign from your Lord. So fill up the measure and the balance, and diminish not the goods of the people; and do not corruption in the land, after it has been set right; that is better for you, if you are believers.
اور سڑکوں پر اس غرض سے مت بیٹھا کرو کہ الله پر ایمان لانے والوں کو دھمکیاں دو اور الله کی راہ سے روکو اوراس میں ٹیڑھا پن تلاش کرو اور اس حلات کو یاد کرو جب کہ تم تھوڑے تھے پھر الله نے تمہیں زیادہ کر دیا اور دیکھو فساد کرنے والوں کا انجام کیا ہوا ہے
“And do not be seated on every road in order to scare the travellers, and to prevent from Allah’s path the people who believe in Him, wishing to distort it; and remember when you were few and He increased your numbers; and see what sort of fate befell the mischievous!”
And do not sit in every path, threatening and barring from God's way those who believe in Him, desiring to make it crooked. And remember when you were few, and He multiplied you; and behold, how was the end of the workers of corruption.
اور اگر تم میں سے ایک جماعت اس پر ایمان لے آئی ہے جو میرے ذریعے سے بھیجا گیا ہے اور ایک جماعت ایمان نہیں لائی پس صبر کرو جب تک الله ہمارے درمیان فیصلہ کرے اور وہ سب سے بہتر فیصلہ کرنے والا ہے
“And if a group among you believes in what I have been sent with, and another group does not believe, then wait until Allah judges between us; and Allah’s judgement is the best of all.”
And if there is a party of you who believe in the Message I have been sent with, and a party who believe not, be patient till God shall judge between us; He is the best of judges.'
اس کی قوم کے متکبر سرداروں نے کہا اے شعیب ہم تجھے اور انہیں جو تجھ پر ایمان لائے ہیں اپنے شہر سے ضرور نکال دیں گے یا یہ کہ تم ہمارے دین میں واپس آ جاؤ فرمایا کیا اگرچہ ہم اس دین کو ناپسند کرنے والے ہوں
The proud leaders of his people said, “O Shuaib, we swear we will banish you and the Muslims who are with you, from our town or you must return to our religion”; he said, “Even though we detest it?”
Said the Council of those of his people who waxed proud, 'We will surely expel thee, O Shuaib, and those who believe with thee, from our city, unless you return into our creed.' He said, 'What, even though we detest it?
ہم تو الله پر بہتان باندھنے والے ہو جائیں اگر تمہارے مذہب میں واپس آئيں بعد اس کے کہ الله نے ہمیں اس سے نجات دی ہے اور ہمیں یہ حق نہیں کہ تمہارے دین میں لوٹ کر آئيں مگر یہ کہ الله چاہے جو ہمارا رب ہے ہمارے رب کا علم ہر چیز پر احاطہ کیے ہوئے ہے ہم الله ہی پر بھروسہ کرتے ہیں اے رب ہمارے اور ہماری قوم کے درمیان حق کے موافق فیصلہ کر دے اور تو بہتر فیصلہ کرنے والا ہے
“We shall then have fabricated a lie against Allah if we return to your religion after Allah has rescued us from it; and it is not for any of us Muslims to return to your religion except if Allah, Who is our Lord, wills; the knowledge of our Lord encompasses all things; in Allah only we have trusted; our Lord! Decide with justice between us and our people – and Yours is the best decision.”
We should have forged against God a lie if we returned into your creed; after God delivered us from it. It is not for us to return into it, unless God our Lord so will. Our Lord embraces all things in His knowledge. In God we have put our trust. Our Lord, give true deliverance between us and our people; Thou art the best of deliverers.'
اس کی قوم میں جو کافر سردار تھے انہوں نے کہا اگر تم شعیب کی تابعداری کرو گے تو بے شک نقصان اٹھاؤ گے
And the disbelieving leaders of his people said, “If you obey Shuaib, you will indeed be in a loss.”
Said the Council of those of his people who disbelieved, 'Now, if you follow Shuaib, assuredly in that case you will be losers.'
پھر انہیں زلزلہ نے آ پکڑا پھر وہ صبح تک اپنے گھرو ں میں اوندھے پڑے ہوئے رہ گئے
Therefore the earthquake seized them – so at morning they remained lying flattened in their homes.
So the earthquake seized them, and morning found them in their habitation fallen prostrate,
جنہوں نے شعیب کو جھٹلایا گو وہ وہاں کبھی بسے ہی نہیں تھے جنہوں نے شعیب کو جھٹلایا وہی نقصان اٹھانے والے ہوئے
As if those who denied Shoaib had never lived in those homes; those who denied Shoaib, were themselves ruined.
those who cried lies to Shuaib, as if never they dwelt there; those who cried lies to Shuaib, they were the losers.
پھر ان سے منہ پھیرا اور کہا اے میری قوم تحقیق میں نے تمہیں اپنے رب کے احکام پہنچا دیے اور میں نے تمہارے لیے خیر خواہی کی پھر کافروں کی قوم پر میں کیوں کر غم کھاؤں
So Shoaib turned away from them saying, “O my people! Indeed I did deliver my Lord’s message to you and gave you sound advice; so why should I grieve for the disbelievers?” (The people in the graves can hear the speech of those who are on earth.)
So he turned his back on them, and said, 'O my people, I have delivered to you the Messages of my Lord, and advised you sincerely; how should I grieve for a people of unbelievers?'
او رہم نے کسی بستی میں کوئی پیغمبرنہیں بھیجا مگر وہاں کے لوگوں کو سختی اور تکلیف میں پکڑا تاکہ وہ عاجزی کریں
And never did We send any Prophet to a dwelling but We seized its people with hardship and adversity so that they may become humble.
We have sent no Prophet to any city but that We seized its people with misery and hardship, that haply they might be humble;
پھر ہم نے برائی کی جگہ بھلائی بدل دی یہاں تک کہ وہ زیادہ ہو گئے اور کہنے لگے کہ ہمارے باپ داداؤں کو بھی تکلیف اور خوشی کا وقت آیا تھا پھر ہم نے انہیں اچانک پکڑا اور ان کو خبر نہ ہوئی
Then We changed the misfortune into prosperity to the extent that they became numerous and said, “Indeed grief and comfort did reach our ancestors” – so We seized them suddenly in their neglect.
then We gave them in the place of evil good, till they multiplied, and said, 'Hardship and happiness visited our fathers.' So We seized them suddenly, unawares.
اور اگر بستیوں والے ایمان لے آتے اور ڈرتے تو ہم ان پر آسمان اور زمین سے نعمتوں کے دروازے کھول دیتے لیکن انہوں نے جھٹلایا پھر ہم نے ان کے اعمال کے سبب سے گرفت کی
And had the people of the dwellings believed and been pious, We would have surely opened for them the blessings from the sky and from the earth, but in fact they denied, and We therefore seized them on account of their deeds.
Yet had the peoples of the cities believed and been godfearing, We would have opened upon them blessings from heaven and earth; but they cried lies, and so We seized them for what they earned.
کیا بستی والے نڈر ہو چکے ہیں کہ ہماری طرف سے ان پر رات کو عذاب آئے جب وہ سو رہے ہوں
Do the people of the dwellings not fear that Our wrath may come upon them at night while they are asleep?
Do the people of the cities feel secure Our might shall not come upon them at night while they are sleeping?
یا بستیوں والے اس بات سے نڈر ہو چکے ہیں کہ ان پر ہمارا عذاب دن چڑھے آئے جب وہ کھیل رہے ہوں
Or do the people of the dwellings not fear that Our wrath may come upon them during the day, while they are playing?
Do the people of the cities feel secure Our might shall not come upon them in daylight while they are playing?
کیا وہ الله کی اچانک پکڑ سے بے فکر ہوئے ہیں بس الله کی اچانک پکڑ سے بے فکر ہو گئے ہیں پس الله کی اچانک پکڑ سے بے فکر نہیں ہوتے مگر نقصان اٹھانے والے
Are they oblivious to Allah’s secret plan? So none is unafraid of Allah’s secret plan except the people of ruin!
Do they feel secure against God's devising? None feels secure against God's devising but the people of the lost.
کیا ان لوگو ں پر جو زمین کے وارث ہوئے ہیں وہاں کے لوگوں کے ہلاک ہونے کے بعد یہ ظاہر نہیں ہوا کہ اگر ہم چاہیں تو انہیں ان کے گناہوں کے سبب سے پکڑ لیں اور ہم نے ان کے دلوں پر مہر لگا دی ہے پس وہ نہیں سنتے
Or did not those who inherited the land after its owners, get enough guidance that if We will, We can afflict them with calamity for their sins? And We set seals upon their hearts so they do not hear.
Is it not a guidance to those who inherit the earth after those who inhabited it that, did We will, We would smite them because of their sins, sealing their hearts so they do not hear?
یہ بستیاں ہیں جن کے حالات ہم تمہیں سناتے ہیں بے شک ان کے پاس ان کے رسولروشن نشانیاں لے کر آئے تھے پھر اس بات پر ہرگز ایمان نہ لائے جسے پہلے جھٹلا چلے تھے کافروں کے دلوں پر الله اسی طرح مہر لگا دیتا ہے
These are the dwellings – the affairs of which We relate to you (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); and indeed their (respective) Noble Messengers came to them with clear proofs; so they were not able to believe in what they had denied before; this is how Allah sets seals upon the hearts of disbelievers.
Those cities We relate to thee tidings of; their Messengers came to them with the clear signs, but they were not the ones to believe in that they had cried lies before; so God seals the hearts of the unbelievers.
اور ہم نے ان کے اکثر لوگو ں میں عہد کا نباہ نہیں پایا اور ان میں سے اکثر نافرمان پایا
And We found most of them not true to their words; and indeed We found most of them disobedient.
We found no covenant in the most part of them; indeed, We found the most part of them ungodly.
اس کے بعد ہم نے موسیٰ کو اپنی نشانیاں دے کر فرعون اور اس کے سرداروں کی طرف بھیجا پھر انہوں نے نشانیوں سے بے انصافی کی پھر دیکھ مفسدوں کا انجام کیا ہوا
Then after them, We sent Moosa with our signs to Firaun and his court members, but they did injustice to those signs; therefore see what sort of fate befell the mischievous!
Then We sent, after them, Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his Council, but they did them wrong; so behold thou, how was the end of the workers of corruption!
اور موسیٰ نے کہا اے فرعون بے شک میں رب العالمین کی طرف سے رسول ہو کر آیا ہوں
And Moosa said, “O Firaun! Indeed I am a Noble Messenger from the Lord Of The Creation.”
Moses said, 'Pharaoh, I am a Messenger from the Lord of all Being,
میرے لیے یہی مناسب ہے کہ سوائے سچ کے کوئی بات خدا کی طرف منسوب نہ کروں میں تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تمہارے پاس ایک بڑی دلیل لایا ہوں پس بنی اسرائیل کو میرے ساتھ بھیج دے
“It is obligatory for me not to speak concerning Allah except the truth; I have come to you all with a clear sign from your Lord, therefore let the Descendants of Israel go with me.”
worthy to say nothing regarding God except the truth. I have brought a clear sign to you from your Lord; so send forth with me the Children of Israel.'
کہا اگرتو کوئی نشانی لے کر آیا ہے تو وہ لا اگر تو سچا ہے
Said Firaun, “If you have come with a sign, then present it if you are truthful!”
Said he, 'If thou hast brought a sign, produce it, if thou speakest truly.'
پھر اس نے اپنا عصا ڈال دیا وہ اس وقت صریح اژدھا ہو گیا
Therefore Moosa put down his staff – it immediately turned into a visible python.
So he cast his staff; and behold, it was a serpent manifest.
او راپنا ہاتھ نکالا تو اسی وقت دیکھنے والوں کے لیے سفید نظر آنے لگا
And putting his hand in his bosom, withdrew it – so it shone brightly before the beholders.
And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it was white to the beholders.
فرعون کی قوم کے سرداروں نے کہا بے شک یہ بڑا ماہر جادو گر ہے
Said the chieftains of Firaun’s people, “He is really an expert magician.”
Said the Council of the people of Pharaoh, 'Surely this man is a cunning sorcerer
تمہیں تمہارے ملک سے نکالنا چاہتا ہے پس تم کیا مشورہ دیتے ہو
“He wishes to expel you all from your kingdom; so what do you advise?”
who desires to expel you from your land; what do you command?'
انہوں نے کہا کہ اسے اور اس کے بھائی کو مہلت دے اور شہروں میں جمع کرنے والے بھیج دے
They said, “Stop him and his brother, and send announcers to the cities to gather people.”
They said, 'Put him and his brother off a while, and send among the cities musterers,
تاکہ تیرے پاس ماہر جادوگر کو لے آئيں
“To bring all the expert magicians to you.”
to bring thee every cunning sorcerer.'
اور جادوگر فرعون کے پاس آئے کہا اگر ہم غالب آئے تو ہمیں کچھ صلہ بھی ملے گا
And the magicians came to Firaun, and said, “Will we get some reward if we are victorious?”
And the sorcerers came to Pharaoh, saying, 'We shall surely have a wage, if we should be the victors?'
کہا ہاں اور بے شک تم مقرب ہو جاؤ گے
He said, “Yes, and you will then become close to me.”
He said, 'Yes, indeed; and you shall be among the near-stationed.'
کہا اے موسیٰ یا تو تو ڈال یا ہم ڈالتے ہیں
They said, “O Moosa! You may throw first – or shall we be the first to throw?”
They said, 'Moses, wilt thou cast, or shall we be the casters?'
کہا تم ڈالوپس جب انہوں نے ڈالا تو لوگو ں کی نظر بندی کر دی اور انہیں ڈرایا اور اک طرح کا بڑا جادو دکھایا
He said, “You throw”; when they threw, they cast a magic spell upon the people’s eyes and terrified them, and they brought a great magic.
He said, 'You cast.' And when they cast they put a Spell upon the people's eyes, and called forth fear of them, and produced a mighty sorcery.
اور ہم نے موسیٰ کو وحی کے ذریعے سے حکم دیا اپنا عصا ڈال دے سو وہ اسی وقت نگلنے لگا جو کھیل انہو ں نے بنا رکھا تھا
And We inspired Moosa that, “Put forth your staff”; it immediately began swallowing up their fabrications.
And We revealed to Moses: 'Cast thy staff!' And lo, it forthwith swallowed up their lying invention.
پھر حق ظاہر ہو گیا اور جو انہوں نے بنایا تھا وہ غلط ہو گیا
So the truth was proved and their works were disproved.
So the truth came to pass, and false was proved what they were doing.
پھر اس جگہ ہار گئے اور ذلیل ہو کر لوٹے
They were therefore defeated here and they turned back humiliated.
So they were vanquished there, and they turned about, humbled.
اور جادوگر سجدہ میں گر پڑے
And the magicians were obliged to fall prostrate.
And the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves.
کہاہم رب العالمین پر ایمان لائے
They said, “We have accepted faith in the Lord Of The Creation.”
They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all Being,
جو موسیٰ اور ہارون کا رب ہے
“The Lord of Moosa and Haroon.”
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.
فرعون نے کہا تم اس پر میری اجازت سے پہلے ہی ایمان لے آئے یہ تو مکر ہے جو تم سب نے اس شہر میں بنایا ہے تاکہ اس شہر کے رہنے والوں کو نکال دو سو اب تمہیں معلوم ہو جائے گا
Said Firaun, “You have accepted faith in Him before I gave you permission! This is indeed a grand conspiracy you have plotted in the city, in order to expel its people from it; so now you will come to know!”
Said Pharaoh, 'You have believed in Him before I gave you leave. Surely this is a device you have devised in the city that you may expel its people from it. Now you shall know!
میں ضرور تمہارے ہاتھ اور دوسری طرف سے پاؤں کاٹوں گا پھر تم سب کو سولی چڑھا دوں گا
“I swear I will cut off your hands and your feet from alternate sides and then crucify you all.”
I shall assuredly cut off alternately your hands and feet, then I shall crucify you all together.'
انہوں نے کہا ہمیں تو اپنے رب کی طرف لوٹ کر جانا ہی ہے
They said, “We shall return to our Lord.”
They said, 'Surely unto our Lord we are turning.
اور تمہیں ہم سے یہی دشمنی ہے کہ ہم نے اپنے رب کی نشانیوں کو مان لیا جب وہ ہمارے پاس آئیں اے ہمارے رب ہمارے اوپر صبر ڈال اورہمیں مسلمان کر کے موت دے
“And what did you dislike in us, except that we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us? Our Lord! Pour (bestow abundantly) patience on us, and bestow us death as Muslims.”
Thou takest vengeance upon us only because we have believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour out upon us patience, and gather us unto Thee surrendering.'
اور فرعون کی قوم کے سرداروں نے کہا کیا تو موسیٰ اور اس کی قوم کو چھوڑتا ہے تاکہ وہ ملک میں فساد کریں اور تجھے اورتیرے معبودوں کو چھوڑ دے کہا ہم ان کے بیٹوں کو قتل کریں گے اور ان کی عورتو ں کو زندہ رکھیں گے اور بے شک ہم ان پر غالب ہیں
The chieftains of Firaun’s people said, “Are you releasing Moosa and his people to cause turmoil in the land, and for Moosa to abandon you and your appointed deities?” He said, “We shall now slay their sons and spare their women; and indeed we have power over them.”
Then said the Council of the people of Pharaoh, 'Wilt thou leave Moses and his people to work corruption in the land, and leave thee and thy gods?' Said he, 'We shall slaughter their sons and spare their women; surely we are triumphant over them!'
موسیٰ نے اپنی قوم سے کہا الله سے مدد مانگو اور صبر کرو بے شک زمین الله کی ہے اپنے بندوں میں سے جسےچاہے اس کا وارث بنا دے اور انجام بخیر پرہیزگاروں کا ہی ہوتا ہے
Moosa said to his people, “Seek the help of Allah and patiently endure; indeed the Owner of the earth is Allah – He appoints as its successor whomever He wills; and the final triumph is for the pious.”
Said Moses to his people, 'Pray for succour to God, and be patient; surely the earth is God's and He bequeaths it to whom He will among His servants. The issue ultimate is to the godfearing.'
انہوں نے کہا تیرے آنے سےپہلے بھی ہمیں تکلیفیں دی گئیں اور تیرے آنے کے بعد بھی فرمایا تمہارا رب بہت جلد تمہارے دشمن کو ہلاک کر دے گا اور اس کی بجائے تمہیں اس سرزمین کا مالک بنا دے گا پھر دیکھے گاتم کیا کرتے ہو
They said, “We have been oppressed before you came to us, and after you have come to us”; he said, “It is likely that your Lord may destroy your enemy and in his place make you the rulers of the earth, and then see what deeds you perform.”
They said, 'We have been hurt before thou camest to us, and after thou camest to us.' He said, 'Perchance your Lord will destroy your enemy, and will make you successors in the land, so that He may behold how you shall do.'
اور ہم نے فرعون والوں کو قحطوں میں اور میوں کی کمی میں پکڑ لیا تاکہ وہ نصیحت مانیں
And indeed We seized the people of Firaun with a famine of several years and with reduction of fruits, so that they may follow advice.
Then seized We Pharaoh's people with years of dearth, and scarcity of fruits, that haply they might remember.
جب ان پر خوشحالی آتی تو کہتے کہ یہ تو ہمارے لیے ہونا ہی چاہیئے اور اگر انہیں کوئی بدحالی پیش آتی تو موسیٰ اور ان کے ساتھیوں کی نحوست بتلاتے یاد رکھو ان کی نحوست الله کے علم میں ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے
So when good would reach them they would say, “This is for us”; and when misfortune reached them, they would infer it as ill omens of Moosa and his companions; pay heed! The misfortune of their ill luck lies with Allah, but most of them are unaware.
So, when good came to them, they said, 'This belongs to us'; but if any evil smote them, they would augur ill by Moses and those with him. Why, surely their ill augury was with God; but the most of them knew not.
اور کہا جوکوئی نشانی تو ہمارے پاس لائے گا ہم پر اس کے ذریعہ سے جادو کرے سو ہم تجھ پر ہر گز ایمان نہ لائیں گے
And said, “You may come with any sign to us, in order to cast a magic spell on us – yet by no means are we going to believe in you.”
And they said, 'Whatsoever sign thou bringest to us, to cast a spell upon us, we will not believe thee.'
پھر ہم نے ان پر طوفان اور ٹدی اور جوئیں اورمینڈک اور خون یہ سب کھلے کھلےمعجزے بھیجے پھر بھی انہوں نے تکبر ہی کیا اور لوگ گناہگار تھے
We therefore sent against them the flood and the locusts and the vermin (or insects) and the frogs and the blood – separate signs; in response they were proud and were a guilty people.
So We let loose upon them the flood and the locusts, the lice and the frogs, the blood, distinct signs; but they waxed proud and were a sinful people.
اور جب ان پر کوئی عذاب آتا تو کہتے اے موسیٰ ہمارے لیے اپنے رب سے دعا کر جس کا اس نے تجھ سے عہد کر رکھا ہے اگر تو نے ہم سے یہ عذاب دور کر دیا تو بے شک ہم تجھ پر ایمان لے آئيں گے اور بنی اسرائیل کو تیرے ساتھ بھیج دیں گے
And whenever the punishment came upon them they said, “O Moosa! Pray to your Lord for us, by means of His covenant which you have; indeed if you lift the punishment from us we will surely accept faith in you and let the Descendants of Israel go with you.”
And when the wrath fell upon them, they said, 'Moses, pray to thy Lord for us by the covenant He has made with thee. If thou removest from us the wrath, surely we will believe thee, and send forth with thee the Children of Israel.'
پھر جب ہم نےان سے ایک مدت تک عذاب اٹھا لیا کہ انہیں اس مدت تک پہنچنا تھا اس وقت وہ عہد توڑ ڈالتے
Consequently whenever We lifted the punishment from them for a term which they must reach, they used to then turn away.
But when We removed from them the wrath unto a term that they should come to, lo, they broke their troth.
پھر ہم نے ان سے بدلہ لیا پھر ہم نے انہیں دریا میں ڈبو دیا اس لیے کہ انہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا اور وہ ان سے غافل تھے
We therefore took revenge from them; so We drowned them in the sea for they used to deny Our signs and were ignoring them.
So We took vengeance on them, and drowned them in the sea, for that they cried lies to Our signs and heeded them not.
اور ہم نے ان لوگوں کو وارث کر دیا جو اس زمین کے مشرق و مغرب میں کمزور سمجھے جاتے تھے کہ جس میں ہم نے برکت رکھی ہے او رتیرے رب کا نیک وعدہ بنی اسرائیلک کے حق میں ان کے صبر کے باعث پورا ہو گیا اور فرعون اور اس کی قوم نے جو کچھ بنایا تھا ہم نے اسے تباہ کر دیا اور جو وہ اونچی عمارتیں بناتے تھے
And We made the people who were oppressed, the inheritors of the eastern and western parts of the land in which We placed blessings; and the good promise of your Lord was fulfilled for the Descendants of Israel – the reward of their patience; and We destroyed whatever Firaun and his people built and whatever they had contrived.
And We bequeathed upon the people that were abased all the east and the west of the land We had blessed; and perfectly was fulfilled the most fair word of thy Lord upon the Children of Israel, for that they endured patiently; and We destroyed utterly the works of Pharaoh and his people, and what they had been building.
اور ہم نے بنی اسرائیل کو دریا سے پار اتارا تو ایک ایسی قوم پر پہنچے جو اپنے بتوں کے پوجنے میں لگے ہوئے تھے کہا اے موسیٰ ہمیں بھی ایک ایسا معبود بنا دے جیسے ان کے معبود ہیں فرمایا بے شک تم لوگ جاہل ہو
And We transported the Descendants of Israel across the sea – so they came across a people who used to squat in seclusion in front of their idols; they said, “O Moosa! Make a God for us, the way they have so many Gods!” He said, “You are indeed an ignorant people.”
And We brought the Children of Israel over the sea, and they came upon a people cleaving to idols they had. They said, 'Moses, make for us a god, as they have gods.' Said he, 'You are surely a people who are ignorant.
یہ لوگ جس چیز میں لگے ہوئے ہیں وہ تباہ ہونے والی ہے اور جو وہ کر رہے ہیں وہ غلط ہے
“The condition they are in is, in fact, one of destruction – and all what they do is utter falsehood.”
Surely this they are engaged upon shall be shattered, and void is what they have been doing.'
کہا کیا الله کے سوا تمہارے لیے اور معبود بنا دوں حالانکہ اس نے تمہیں سارے جہاں پر فضیلت دی ہے
He said, “Shall I seek for you a God other than Allah, whereas He has given you superiority above the entire world?” (By sending His message towards you).
He said, 'What, shall I seek a god for you other than God, who has preferred you above all beings?'
اور یا د کرو جب ہم نے تمہیں فرعون والوں سے نجات دی جو تمہیں برا عذاب دیتے تھے تمہارے بیٹوں کو مار ڈال دیتے تھے اور تمہاری عورتوں کو زندہ رکھتے تھے اور اس میں تمہارے رب کا بڑا احسان تھا
And remember when We rescued you from Firaun’s people who were afflicting you with a dreadful torment; slaughtering your sons and sparing your daughters; and in it was a great favour from your Lord.
And when We delivered you from the folk of Pharaoh who were visiting you with evil chastisement, slaying your sons, and sparing your women -- and in that was a grievous trial from your Lord.
اور موسیٰ سے ہم نے تیس رات کا وعدہ کیا اور انہیں اور دس سے پورا کیا پھر تیرے رب کی مدت چالیس راتیں پوری ہو گئی اور موسیٰ نے اپنے بھائی ہارون سے کہا کہ میری قوم میں میرا جانشین رہ اور اصلاح کرتے رہو اور مفسدوں کی راہ پر مت چل
And We agreed with Moosa a covenant for thirty nights (of solitude) and completed it by adding ten to them, so the covenant of His Lord amounted to forty nights in full; and Moosa said to his brother Haroon, “Be my deputy over my people and make reform and do not allow the ways of the mischievous to enter.”
And We appointed with Moses thirty nights and We completed them with ten, so the appointed time of his Lord was forty nights; and Moses said to his brother Aaron, 'Be my successor among my people, and put things right, and do not follow the way of the workers of corruption.'
اور جب موسیٰ ہمارے مقرر کردہ وقت پر آئے اور ان کے رب نے ان سے باتیں کیں تو عرض کیا کہ اے میرے رب مجھے دکھا کہ میں تجھے دیکھوں فرمایا کہ تو مجھے ہر گز نہیں دیکھ سکتا لیکن تو پہاڑ کی طرف دیکھتا رہ اگر وہ اپنی جگہ پر ٹھہرا رہا تو تو مجھے دیکھ سکے گا پھر جب اس کے رب نے پہاڑ کی طرف تجلی کی تو اس کو ریزہ ریزہ کر دیا اور موسیٰ بے ہوش ہو کر گر پڑے پھر جب ہوش میں آئے تو عرض کی کہ تیری ذات پاک ہے میں تیری جانب میں توبہ کرتا ہوں اور میں سب سے پہلا یقین لانے والا ہوں
And when Moosa presented himself upon Our promise, and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord! Show me Your Self, so that I may see You”; He said, “You will never be able to see Me, but look towards the mountain – if it stays in its place, then you shall soon see Me”; so when his Lord directed His light on the mountain, He blew it into bits and Moosa fell down unconscious; then upon regaining consciousness he said, “Purity is to You! I incline towards You, and I am the first Muslim.”
And when Moses came to Our appointed time and his Lord spoke with him, he said, 'Oh my Lord, show me, that I may behold Thee!' Said He, 'Thou shalt not see Me; but behold the mountain -- if it stays fast in its place, then thou shalt see Me.' And when his Lord revealed Him to the mountain He made it crumble to dust; and Moses fell down swooning. So when he awoke, he said, 'Glory be to Thee! I repent to Thee; I am the first of the believers.'
فرمایا اے موسیٰ میں نے پیغمبری اور ہم کلامی سے دوسرے لوگوں پر تجھے امتیاز دیا ہے جو کچھ میں نے تجھے عطا کیا ہے اسے لے لو اور شکر کرنے والوں میں سے ہو جاؤ
Said Allah, “O Moosa! I have chosen you from mankind by (bestowing) My messages and by My speech; so accept what I have bestowed upon you and be among the thankful.”
Said He, 'Moses, I have chosen thee above all men for My Messages and My Utterance; take what I have given thee, and be of the thankful.'
اور ہم نے اسے تختیوں پر ہر قسم کی نصیحت اور ہر چیز کی تفصیل لکھ دی سو انہیں مضبوطی سے پکڑ لے او راپنی قوم کو حکم کر کہ اس کی بہتر باتوں پر عمل کریں عنقریب میں تمہیں نافرمانوں کا ٹھکانہ دکھاؤں گا
And We wrote for him on the tablets, the advice for all things and the details of all things; and commanded “Accept it firmly and command your people to choose its good advices; soon I shall show you people the destination of the disobedient.”
And We wrote for him on the Tablets of everything an admonition, and a distinguishing of everything: 'So take it forcefully, and command thy people to take the fairest of it. I shall show you the habitation of the ungodly.
پھر میں اپنی آیتوں سے انہیں پھیر دوں گا جو زمین میں نا حق تکبر کرتے ہیں اور اگر وہ ساری نشانیاں بھی دیکھ لیں تو بھی ایمان نہیں لائیں گے اور اگر ہدایت کا راستہ دیکھیں تو اسے اپنا راہ نہیں بنائیں گے یہ اس لیے ہے کہ انہوں نے ہماری آیتو ں کو جھٹلایا اور ان سے بے خبر رہے
“And I shall turn away from My signs the people who unjustly wish to be admired in the earth; and if they see all the signs, they would not believe them; and if they see the path of guidance, they would not prefer to tread it; and if they see the way of error, they would present themselves to tread it; that is because they denied Our signs and were ignoring them.
I shall turn from My signs those who wax proud in the earth unjustly; though they see every sign, they will not believe in it, and though they see the way of rectitude they will not take it for a way, and though they see the way of error, they will take it for a way. That, because they have cried lies to Our signs and heeded them not.'
اور جنھوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو اور آخرت کی ملاقات کو جھٹلایا ان کے اعمال ضائع ہو گئے انہیں وہی سزا دی جائے گی جو کچھ وہ کیا کرتے تھے
And those who denied Our signs and the confronting of the Hereafter – all their deeds are wasted; what recompense will they get, except what they used to do?
Those who cry lies to Our signs, and the encounter in the world to come -- their works have failed; shall they be recompensed, except according to the things they have done?
اور موسیٰ کی قوم نے اس کے بعد اپنے زیوروں سے بچھڑا بنا لیا ایک جسم تھا جس میں گائے کی آواز تھی کیا انہوں نے یہ نہ دیکھا کہ وہ ان سے بات بھی نہیں کرتا اور نہ ہی انہیں راہ بتاتا ہے اسے معبود بنا لیا اور وہ ظالم تھے
And behind Moosa, his people moulded a calf from their ornaments – a lifeless body making sounds like a cow; did they not see that it neither speaks to them nor guides them in any way? They chose it (for worship), and were unjust.
And the people of Moses took to them, after him, of their ornaments a Calf -- a mere body that lowed. Did they not see it spoke not to them, neither guided them upon any way? Yet they took it to them, and were evildoers.
اور جب نادم ہوئے اور معلوم کیا کہ بیشک وہ گمراہ ہوگئے تھےتو کہنے لگے اگر ہمارے رب نے ہم پر رحم نہ کیا اور ہمیں نہ بخشا تو بے شک ہم نقصان پانے والوں میں سے ہوں گے
And when they repented and realised that they had gone astray, they said, “If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we are ruined.”
And when they smote their hands, and saw that they had gone astray, they said, 'If our Lord has not mercy on us, and forgives us not, surely we shall be of the lost.'
اور جب موسیٰ اپنی قو م کےی طرف غصہ اور رنج میں بھرے ہوئے واپس آئے تو فرمایا تم نے میرے بعد یہ بڑی نامعقول حرکت کی کیا تم نے اپنے رب کے حکم سے پہلے ہی جلد بازی کر لی اور تختیاں پھینک دیں اور اپنے بھائی کا سر پکڑ ا اسے پنی طرف کھینچنے لگا اس نے کہا کہ اے میری ماں کے بیٹے لوگوں نے مجھے کمزور سمجھا اور قریب تھے کہ مجھے مار ڈالیں سو مجھ پر دشمنوں کو نہ ہنسا اور مجھے گناہگار لوگو ں میں نہ ملا
And when Moosa returned to his people, angry and upset, he said, “What an evil way you have handled affairs on my behalf, behind me; did you hasten upon the command of your Lord?” And he cast down the stone tablets, and catching hold of his brothers hair, began pulling him towards him; said Haroon said, “O the son of my mother! The people thought I was weak and would have probably killed me; so do not make my enemies laugh at me and do not identify me with the unjust.”
And when Moses returned to his people, angry and sorrowful, he said, 'Evilly have you done in my place, after me; what, have you outstripped your Lord's commandment?' And he cast down the Tablets, and laid hold of his brother's head, dragging him to him. He said, 'Son of my mother, surely the people have abased me, and well nigh slain me. Make not my enemies to gloat over me, and put me not among the people of the evildoers.
کہا اے میرے رب مجھے اور میرے بھائی کو معاف فرما اور ہمیں اپنی رحمت میں داخل کر اور تو سب سے زيادہ رحم کرنے والا ہے
He submitted, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy; and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.”
He said, 'O my Lord, forgive me and my brother and enter us into Thy mercy; Thou art the most merciful of the merciful.'
بے شک جنہوں نے بچھڑے کو معبود بنایا انہیں ان کے رب کی طرف سے غضب اور دنیا کی زندگی میں ذلت پہنچے گی او رہم بہتان باندھنے والوں کو یہی سزا دیتے ہیں
Indeed those who took the calf – the punishment from their Lord, and humiliation will reach them in the life of this world; and this is the way We reward those who fabricate lies.
'Surely those who took to themselves the Calf -- anger shall overtake them from their Lord, and abasement in this present life; so We recompense those who are forgers.
اور جنہوں نے برے کام کیے پھراس کے بعد توبہ کی اور ایمان لے آئے تو بے شک تیرا رب توبہ کے بعد البتہ بخشنے والا مہربان ہے
And those who performed misdeeds and then repented and accepted faith – so after that, your Lord is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And those who do evil deeds, then repent thereafter and believe, surely thereafter thy Lord is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.'
اور جب موسیٰ کا غصہ ٹھنڈا ہوا تو اس نے تختیوں کو اٹھایا اور جو ان میں لکھا ہو ا تھا اس میں ان کے واسطے ہدایت اور رحمت تھی جو اپنے رب سے ڈرتے ہیں
And when the anger of Moosa abated, he picked up the stone tablets; and in their texts are guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.
And when Moses' anger abated in him, he took the Tablets and in the inscription of them was guidance, and mercy unto all those who hold their Lord in awe.
اور موسیٰ نے اپنی قوم میں سے ستر مرد ہمارے وعدہ گا ہ پر لانے کے لیے چن لیے پھر جب انہیں زلزلہ نے پکڑ ا تو کہا اے میرے رب اگر تو چاہتا تو پہلے ہی انہیں ہلاک کر دیتا کیا تو ہمیں اس کام پر ہلاک کرتا ہے جو ہماری قوموں کے بیوقوفوں نے کیا یہ سب تیری آزمائش ہے جسے تو چاہے اس سے گمراہ کر دے اور جسے چاہے سیدھا رکھے تو ہی ہمارا کارساز ہے سو ہمیں بخش دے اور ہم پر رحم کر اور تو سب سے بہتر بخشنے والا ہے
And Moosa chose seventy men from his people for Our promise; therefore when the earthquake seized them, he submitted, “My Lord! If You had willed You could have destroyed them and me, even earlier! Will You destroy us for the deeds which the ignorant among us did? That is not but Your testing us; with it You send astray whomever You will and guide whomever You will; You are our Master, so forgive us and have mercy on us, and You are the Best of the Forgiving.”
And Moses chose of his people seventy men for Our appointed time; and when the earthquake seized them, he said, 'My Lord, hadst Thou willed Thou wouldst have destroyed them before, and me. Wilt Thou destroy us for what the foolish ones of us have done? It is only Thy trial, whereby Thou leadest astray whom Thou wilt, and guidest whom Thou wilt. Thou art our Protector; so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for Thou art the best of forgivers.
او رہمارے لیے اس دنیا میں اور آخرت میں بھلائی لکھ ہم نے تیری طرف رجوع کیا فرمایا میں اپنا عذاب جسے چاہتا ہوں کرتا ہوں اور میری رحمت سب چیزوں سے وسیع ہے پس وہ رحمت ان کے لیے لکھوں گا جو ڈرتے ہیں اجور جو زکواة دیتے ہیں اور جو ہماری آیتوں پر ایمان لاتے ہیں
“And destine good for us in this world and in the Hereafter – We have indeed inclined towards You”; He said, “I give My punishment to whomever I will; and My mercy encompasses all things; so I shall soon destine favours for those who fear and pay the charity, and they believe in Our signs.”
And prescribe for us in this world good, and in the world to come; we have repented unto Thee.' Said He, 'My chastisement -- I smite with it whom I will; and My mercy embraces all things, and I shall prescribe it for those who are godfearing and pay the alms, and those who indeed believe in Our signs,
وہ لوگ جو اس رسول کی پیروی کرتے ہیں اور جو نبی امی ہے جسے اپنے ہاں تورات اور انجیل میں لکھا ہوا پاتے ہیں وہ ان کو نیکی کا حکم کرتا ہے اور برے کام سے روکتا ہے اوران کے لیے سب پاک چیزیں حلا ل کرتا ہے اور ان پر ناپاک چیزیں حرام کرتا ہے اور ان پر سے ان کے بوجھ اور وہ قیدیں اتارتا ہے جو ان پر تھیں سو جو لوگ اس پر ایمان لائے اور اس کی حمایت کی اور اسے مدد دی اور اس کے نور کے تابع ہو ئے جو اس کے ساتھ بھیجا گیا ہے یہی لوگ نجات پانے والے ہیں
“Those who will obey this Noble Messenger (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), the Herald of the Hidden who is untutored* (except by Allah), whom they will find mentioned in the Taurat and the Injeel with them; he will command them to do good and forbid them from wrong, and he will make lawful for them the good clean things and prohibit the foul for them, and he will unburden the loads and the neck chains which were upon them; so those who believe in him, and revere** him, and help him, and follow the light which came down with him – it is they who have succeeded." (*The Holy Prophet was taught by Allah Himself – see Surah 55 Al-Rahman. **To honour the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him – is part of faith. To disrespect him is blasphemy.)
those who follow the Messenger, 'the Prophet of the common folk, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, bidding them to honour, and forbidding them dishonour, making lawful for them the good things and making unlawful for them the corrupt things, and relieving them of their loads, and the fetters that were upon them. Those who believe in him and succour him and help him, and follow the light that has been sent down with him -- they are the prosperers.'
کہہ دو اے لوگو تم سب کی طرف الله کا رسول ہوں جس کی حکومت آسمانوں اور زمین میں ہے اس کے سوا اور کوئی معبود نہیں وہی زندہ کرتا اور مارتا ہے پس الله پر ایمان لاؤ اوراس کے رسول نبی امی پر جو کہ الله پر اور اس کے سب کلاموں پر یقین رکھتا ہے اور اس کی پیروی کرو تاکہ تم راہ پاؤ
Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “O people! Indeed I am, towards you all, the Noble Messenger of Allah – for Whom (Allah) only is the kingship of the heavens and the earth; there is none worthy of worship, except Him – giving life and giving death; therefore believe in Allah and His Noble Messenger, the Prophet who is untutored (except by Allah), who believes in Allah and His Words, and obey him (the Prophet) to attain guidance.” (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him – is the Prophet towards all mankind.)
Say: 'O mankind, I am the Messenger of God to you all, of Him to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth. There is no god but He. He gives life, and makes to die. Believe then in God, and in His Messenger, the Prophet of the common folk, who believes in God and His words, and follow him; haply so you will be guided.'
اور موسیٰ کی قوم میں سے ایک جماعت ہے جو حق کی راہ بتاتے ہیں اور اسی کے موافق انصاف کرتے ہیں
And among the people of Moosa is a group that shows the true path, and establishes justice with it.
Of the people of Moses there is a nation who guide by the truth, and by it act with justice.
اور ہم نے انہیں جدا جدا کر دیا بارہ دادوں کی اولاد جو بڑی بڑی جماعتیں تھیں اور موسیٰ کو ہم نے حکم بھیجا جب اس کی قوم نے اس سے پانی مانگا کہ اپنی لاٹھی اس پتھر پر مار تو اس سے بارہ چشمے پھوٹ نکلے ہر قبیلہ نے اپنے گھاٹ پہچان لیا اور ہم نے ان پر ابر کا سایہ کیا اور ہم نے من و سلویٰ اتارا ہم نے جو ستھری چیزیں تمہیں دی ہیں وہ کھاؤ اور انہوں نے ہمارا کوئی نقصان نہیں کیا لیکن اپنا ہی نقصان کرتے تھے
And We divided them into twelve tribes, as separate groups; and when his people asked him for water, We revealed to Moosa, “Strike the rock with your staff”; so twelve springs gushed forth from it; each group recognised its drinking-place; and We made the clouds a canopy over them and sent down the Manna and the Salwa (birds) on them; “Eat of the good things we have provided you”; and they did not wrong Us in the least, but they used to wrong themselves.
And We cut them up into twelve tribes, nations. And We revealed to Moses, when his people asked him for water: 'Strike with thy staff the rock'; and there gushed forth from it twelve fountains all the people knew now their drinking-place. And We outspread the cloud to overshadow them, and We sent down manna and quails upon them: 'Eat of the good things wherewith We have supplied you.' And they worked no wrong upon Us, but themselves they wronged.
اور جب انہیں حکم دیا گیا کہ تم اس بستی میں جا کر رہو اور وہاں جہاں سے تم چاہو کھاؤ اور زباں سے یہ کہتے جاؤ توبہ ہے اور دروازہ میں جھک کر داخل ہو ہم تمہاری غلطیاں معاف کر دیں گے اور نیکو کاروں کو اور زیادہ اجر دیں گے
And remember when they were commanded, “Reside in this township and eat whatever you wish in it, and say ‘Sins are forgiven’ and enter the gate prostrating – We will forgive you your sins; We shall soon bestow more upon the virtuous.”
And when it was said to them, 'Dwell in this township and eat of it wherever you will; and say, Unburdening; and enter in at the gate, prostrating; We will forgive you your transgressions, and increase the good-doers.'
سو ان میں سے ظالموں نے دوسرا لفظ اس کے سوا بدل دیا جو ان سے کہا گیا تھا پھر ہم نے ان پر آسمان سے عذاب بھیجا اس لیے کہ وہ ظلم کرتے تھے
So the unjust among them changed the words, contrary to what they had been commanded – consequently We sent down upon them a punishment from the sky – the recompense of their injustice.
Then the evildoers of them substituted a saying other than that which had been said to them; so We sent down upon them wrath out of heaven for their evildoing.
اور ان سے اس بستی کا حال پوچھ جو دریا کے کنارے پر تھی جب ہفتہ کے معاملہ میں حد سے بڑھنے لگے جب ان کے پاس مچھلیاں ہفتہ کے دن پانی کے اوپر آنے لگیں اور جس دن ہفتہ نہ ہو تو نہ آتی تھیں ہم نے انہیں اس طرح آزمایا اس لیے کہ وہ نافرمان تھے
And ask them (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) of the township that was by the sea; when they used to exceed in the matter of the Sabbath – when their fish used to come swimming atop the water in front of them on the day of Sabbath and not come on the days it was not Sabbath; this is how We used to test them, due to their disobedience.
And question them concerning the township which was bordering the sea, when they transgressed the Sabbath, when their fish came to them on the day of their Sabbath, swimming shorewards, but on the day they kept not Sabbath, they came not unto them. Even so We were trying them for their ungodliness.
اور جب ان میں سے ایک جماعت نے کہا ان لوگوں کو کیوں نصیحت کرتے ہو جنہیں الله ہلاک کرنے والا ہے انہیں سخت عذاب دینے والا ہے انہوں نے کہا تمہارے رب کے روبر عذر کرنے کے لیے اور شاید کہ یہ ڈر جائیں
And when a group among them said, “Why do you preach to a people whom Allah is going to destroy or mete out a severe punishment?” They said, “To have an excuse before your Lord, and that perhaps they may fear.”
And when a certain nation of them said, 'Why do you admonish a people God is about to destroy or to chastise with a terrible chastisement?' They said, 'As an excuse to your Lord; and haply they will be godfearing.'
پھر جب وہ بھول گئے اس چیز کو جو انہیں سمجھائی گئی تھی توہم نے انہیں نجات دی جو برے کام سے منع کرتے تھے اور ظالموں کو ان کی نافرمانی کے باعث برے عذاب میں پکڑا
And when they forgot the advices they had been given, We rescued those who forbade evil, and seized the unjust with a dreadful punishment – the recompense of their disobedience.
So, when they forgot that they were reminded of; We delivered those who were forbidding wickedness, and We seized the evildoers with evil chastisement for their ungodliness.
پھر جب وہ اس کام میں حد سے آگے بڑھ گئے جس سے روکے گئے تھے تو ہم نے حکم دیا کہ ذلیل ہونے والے بندر ہو جاؤ
Consequently when they rebelled against the command to refrain, We said to them, “Be apes, despised!”
And when they turned in disdain from that forbidding We said to them, 'Be you apes, miserably slinking!'
اور یاد کر جب تیرے رب نے خبر دی تھی کہ یہودپر قیامت کے دن تک ایسے شخص کو ضرور بھیجتا رہے گا جو انہیں براعذاب دیتا رہے بے شک تیرا رب جلدی عذاب دینے والا ہے اور تحقیق وہ بحشنے والا مہربان ہے
And remember when your Lord announced the command that till the Day of Resurrection I will certainly send such oppressors against them, who will inflict them with a dreadful punishment; indeed your Lord is swift in meting out punishment; and indeed He is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And when Thy Lord proclaimed He would send forth against them, unto the Day of Resurrection, those who should visit them with evil chastisement. Surely thy Lord is swift in retribution; surely He is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
اورہم نے انہیں ملک میں مختلف جماعتوں میں متفرق کر دیا بعضے ان میں سے نیک ہیں اور بعضے اور طرح کے اور ہم نے انہیں بھلائیوں اور برائیوں سے آزمایاتاکہ وہ لوٹ آئيں
And We divided them in the earth as separate groups; some of them are righteous and some are the other type; and We tested them with good (favours) and evil things (adversities) so that they may return.
And We cut them up into nations in the earth, some of them righteous, and some of them otherwise; and We tried them with good things and evil, that haply they should return.
پھر ان کے بعد ان کے ایسے جانشین ہوئے جو کتاب کے وارث بنے اس ادنیٰ زندگی کا مال و متاع لےلیتے ہیں اور کہتے ہیں کہ ہمیں معاف کر دیا جائے گا اور اگر ایسا ہی مال ان کے سامنے پھر آئے تو اسے لے لیتے ہیں کیا ان سے کتاب میں عہد نہیں لے لیا گیا تھا کہ الله کے سوا سچ کے اور کچھ نہ کہیں اور انہوں نے جو کچھ اس میں لکھا ہے پڑھا ہے اور آخرت کا گھر ڈرنے والوں کے لیے بہتر ہے کیا تم سمجھتے نہیں
And after them in their place, came those unworthy successors who inherited the Books – they accept the goods of this world (as bribes) and say, “We shall soon be forgiven”; and if similar goods come to them again, they would accept it; was not the covenant taken from them in the Book, that they must not relate anything to Allah except the truth, and they have studied it? And indeed the abode of the Hereafter is better for the pious; so do you not have sense?
And there succeeded after them a succession who inherited the Book, taking the chance goods of this lower world, and saying, 'It will be forgiven us'; and if chance goods the like of them come to them, they will take them. Has not the compact of the Book been taken touching them, that they should say concerning God nothing but the truth? And they have studied what is in it; and the Last Abode is better for those who are godfearing. Do you not understand?
اور جو لوگ کتاب کے پابند ہیں اور نماز کی پابندی کرتے ہیں بے شک ہم نیکی کرنے والوں کا ثواب ضائع نہیں کریں گے
And those who hold fast to the Book, and have kept the prayer established; and We do not waste the wages of the righteous.
And those who hold fast to the Book, and perform the prayer -- surely We leave not to waste the wage of those who set aright.
اورجب ہم نے ان پر پہاڑ اٹھایا گویا کہ وہ سائبان ہے اور وہ ڈرے کہ ان پر گرے گا ہم نے کہا جو ہم نے تمہیں دیا ہے اسے مضبوطی سے پکڑو اور جو اس میں ہے اسے یاد رکھو تاکہ تم پرہیزگار ہو جاؤ
And when We raised the Mount (Sinai) above them as if it were a canopy, and they thought that it would fall upon them; “Accept firmly what We have given you, and remember what is in it, so that you may become pious.”
And when We shook the mountain above them as if it were a canopy, and they supposed it was about to fall on them: 'Take forcefully what We have given you, and remember what is in it; haply you will be godfearing.'
اور جب تیرے رب نے بنی آدم کی پیٹھوں سے ان کی اولاد کو نکالا اور ان سے ان کی جانوں پر اقرار کرایا کہ میں تمہارا رب نہیں ہوں انہوں نے کہا ہاں ہے ہم اقرار کرتے ہیں کبھی قیامت کے دن کہنے لگو کہ ہمیں تو اس کی خبر نہیں تھی
And remember when your Lord brought forth the generations from the backs of the Descendants of Adam, and made them their own witness; “Am I not your Lord?”; they all said, “Yes surely You are, why not? We testify”; for you may say on the Day of Resurrection that, “We were unaware of this.”
And when thy Lord took from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed, and made them testify touching themselves, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify'-- lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'As for us, we were heedless of this,'
یا کہنے لگو ہمارے باپ دادا نے ہم سے پہلے شرک کیاتھا اور ہم ان کے بعد ان کی اولاد تھے کیاتو ہمیں اس کام پر ہلاک کرتا ہے جو گمراہوں نے کیا
Or you may say, “It is our ancestors who first ascribed partners (to Allah) and we were (their) children after them; so will You destroy us on account of the deeds of the followers of falsehood?”
or lest you say, 'Our fathers were idolaters aforetime, and we were seed after them. What, wilt Thou then destroy us for the deeds of the vain-doers?'
اور اسی طرح ہم کھول کر آیتیں بیان کرتے ہیں تاکہ وہ لوٹ آئيں
And this is how We explain the verses in different ways, and so that they may return.
So We distinguish the signs; and haply they will return.
اور انہیں اس شخص کا حال سنا دے جسے ہم نے اپنی آیتیں دی تھیں پھر وہ ان سے نکل گیا پھر اس کے پیچھے شیطان لگا تو وہ گمراہوں میں سے ہو گیا
And O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) recite to them the case of the one to whom We gave Our revelations, and in response he departed from them completely – so Satan went after him – he therefore became of the astray.
And recite to them the tiding of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he cast them off; and Satan followed after him, and he became one of the perverts.
اور اگر ہم چاتے تو ان کی آیتو ں کی برکت سے اس کا رتبہ بلند کرتے لیکن وہ دنیا کی طرف مائل ہو گیا اور اپنی خواہش کے تابع ہو گیا اس کا تو ایسا حال ہے جیسے کتا اس پر تو سختی کرے تو بھی ہانپے اور اگر چھوڑ دے تو بھی ہانپے یہ ان لوگوں کی مثال ہے جنہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا سو یہ حالات بیان کر دے شاید کہ وہ فکر کریں
And had We willed We could have raised him because of the revelations, but he clung to the earth and followed his own desires; his condition therefore is like that of a dog; if you attack him he hangs out his tongue and if you leave him he hangs out his tongue; this is the state of the people who denied Our signs; therefore preach, so that they may give thought.
And had We willed, We would have raised him up thereby; but he inclined towards the earth and followed his lust. So the likeness of him is as the likeness of a dog; if thou attackest it it lolls its tongue out, or if thou leavest it, it lolls its tongue out. That is that people's likeness who cried lies to Our signs. So relate the story; haply they will reflect.
جنہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا ان کی بری مثال ہے اور وہ اپنا ہی نقصان کرتے رہے
What an evil example is of those who denied Our signs and used to wrong only their own souls.
An evil likeness is the likeness of the people who cried lies to Our signs, and themselves were wronging.
جسے الله تعالیٰ ہدایت دے وہی راہ پاتا ہے اور جسے گمراہ کر دےپس وہی لوگ نقصان اٹھانے والے ہیں
Whomever Allah guides – only he is on the right path; and whomever He sends astray – it is they who are the losers.
Whomsoever God guides, he is rightly guided; and whom He leads astray -- they are the losers.
اور ہم نے دوزخ کے لیے بہت سے جن اور آدمی پیدا کیے ہیں ان کے دل ہیں کہ ان سے سمجھتے نہیں اور آنکھیں ہیں کہ ان سے دیکھتے نہیں اور کان ہیں کہ ان سے سنتے نہیں وہ ایسے ہیں جیسے چوپائے بلکہ ان سے بھی گمراہی میں زیادہ ہیں یہی لوگ غافل ہیں
And indeed We have created many jinns and men for hell; they have hearts in which their is no understanding; and the eyes they do not see with; and the ears they do not hear with; they are like cattle – in fact more astray; it is they who are the neglectful.
We have created for Gehenna many jinn and men: they have hearts, but understand not with them; they have eyes, but perceive not with them; they have ears, but they hear not with them. They are like cattle; nay, rather they are further astray. Those -- they are the heedless.
اور سب اچھے نام الله ہی کے لیے ہیں سو اسے انہیں نامو ں سے پکارو اور چھوڑ دو ان کو جو الله کے نامو ں میں کجروی اختیار کرتے ہیں وہ اپنے کیے کی سزا پا کر رہیں گے
And for Allah only are the best names, so invoke Him by them; and abandon those who depart from the truth regarding His names; they will soon receive the reward of their deeds.
To God belong the Names Most Beautiful; so call Him by them, and leave those who blaspheme His Names -- they shall assuredly be recompensed for the things they did.
اور ان لوگوں میں سےجنہیں ہم نے پیدا کیا ایک جماعت ہے جو سچی راہ بتاتی ہے اور اسی کے موافق انصاف کرتے ہیں
And from Our creation is a group that shows the truth and establishes justice with it.
Of those We created are a nation who guide by the truth, and by it act with justice.
اور جنہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا ہم انہیں آہستہ آہستہ پکڑیں گے ایسی جگہ سے جہاں انہیں خبر بھی نہ ہو گی
And those who denied Our signs – We shall soon steadily lead them towards the punishment, from the place they will not know.
And those who cry lies to Our signs We will draw them on little by little whence they know not;
اور میں انہیں مہلت دوں گا بے شک میری تدبیر بڑی مضبوط ہے
And I will give them respite; indeed My secret plan is extremely solid.
and I respite them -- assuredly My guile is sure.
کیا انہوں نے غور نہیں کیاکہ ان کے ساتھی کو جنوں تو نہیں ہے وہ تو کھلم کھلا ڈرانے والا ہے
Do they not ponder that their companion is far removed from insanity? In fact he is clearly a Herald of Warning.
Have they not reflected? No madness is in their comrade; he is naught but a plain warner.
اور کیا انہوں نے آسمان اور زمین کی سلطنت کو نہیں دیکھا اور دوسری چیزوں کو جو الله نے پیدا کی ہیں اور یہ کہ ممکن ہے کہ ان کی اجل قریب ہی ہو پھرقرآن کے بعد کس بات پر یہ لوگ ایمان لائيں گے
Have they not pondered deeply regarding the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and whatever things Allah created? And that possibly their promise (of death) may have come near? So after this*, in what will they believe? (*Advent of the Last Prophet and the Holy Qur’an.)
Or have they not considered the dominion of the heaven and of the earth, and what things God has created, and that it may be their term is already nigh? In what manner of discourse then will they after this believe?
جسے الله گمراہ کر دے اسے کوئی راہ دکھانے والا نہیں اور انہیں الله چھوڑ دیتا ہے کہ اپنی سرکشی میں حیران پھیر یں
For one whom Allah sends astray, there is none to guide him; and He leaves them to wander in their rebellion.
Whomsoever God leads astray, no guide he has; He leaves them in their insolence blindly wandering.
قیامت کے متعلق تجھ سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ اس کی آمد کا کونسا وقت ہے کہہ دو اس کی خبر تو میرے رب ہی کے ہاں ہے وہی اس کے وقت پر ظاہر کر دکھائے گا وہ آسمانو ں اور زمین میں بھاری بات ہے وہ تم پر محض اچانک آجائے گی تجھ سے پوچھتے ہیں گویا کہ تو اس کی تلاش میں لگا ہوا ہے کہہ دو اس کی خبر خاص الله ہی کے ہاں ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں سمجھتے
They ask you about the Resurrection, as to when it is destined; say, “Indeed its knowledge is with my Lord; only He will manifest it at its time; it is proving cumbersome in the heavens and the earth; it will not come to you except suddenly”; they question you as if you have researched it deeply; say, “Indeed its knowledge is with Allah only but most people do not know.”
They will question thee concerning the Hour, when it shall berth. Say: 'The knowledge of it is only with my Lord; none shall reveal it at its proper time, but He. Heavy is it in the heavens and the earth; it will not come on you but suddenly!' They will question thee, as though thou art well-informed of it. Say: 'The knowledge of it is only with God, but most men know not.'
کہہ دو میں اپنی ذات کے نفع و نقصان کا بھی مالک نہیں مگرجو الله چاہے اور اگر میں غیب کی بات جان سکتا تو بہت کچھ بھلائیاں حاصل کر لیتا اور مجھے تکلیف نہ پہنچتی میں تو محض ڈرانے والا اور خوشخبری دینے والا ہوں ان لوگوں کو جو ایمان دار ہیں
Say, “I have no autonomy to benefit or hurt myself, except what Allah wills; and were I to procure knowledge of the hidden on my own, it would be that I had accumulated a lot of good; and no misfortune would touch me; I am purely a Herald of Warning and Glad Tidings to the people who believe.”
Say: 'I have no power to profit for myself; or hurt, but as God will. Had I knowledge of the Unseen I would have acquired much good, and evil would not have touched me. I am only a warner, and a bearer of good tidings, to a people believing.'
وہ وہی ہے جس نے تمہیں ایک جان سے پیدا کیا اور اسی سے اس کا جوڑ بنایا تاکہ اس سے آرام پائے پھر جب میاں نے بیوی سے ہم بستری کی تو اس کو ہلکا سا حمل رہ گیا پھر اسے لیے پھرتی رہی پھر جب وہ بوجھل ہو گئی تب دونوں میاں بیوی نے الله سے جو ان کا مالک ہے دعا کی اگر آپ نے ہمیں صحیح سالم اولاد دے دی تو ہم ضرور شکر گزار ہوں گے
It is He Who created you from a single soul, and from him made its mate for him to gain comfort with her; so when the male covered her, she was burdened lightly in her womb, and she therefore moved easily carrying it; and when she felt the burden heavy, they both cried to their Lord Allah, “Indeed You may give to us a child as You will, so we will surely be thankful.”
It is He who created you out of one living soul, and made of him his spouse that he might rest in her. Then, when he covered her, she bore a light burden and passed by with it; but when it became heavy they cried to God their Lord, 'If Thou givest us a righteous son, we indeed shall be of the thankful.'
پھر جب الله نے انکو صحیح سالم اولاد دی تو الله کی دی ہوئی چیزوں میں وہ دونوں الله کا شریک بنانے لگے سو الله ان کے شرک سے پاک ہے
So when He bestowed them a normal child, they ascribed partners (to Him) in respect of what He had bestowed upon them; therefore Supreme is Allah, above all that they ascribe as partners.
Thereafter, when He gave them a righteous son, they assigned Him associates in that He had given them; but God is high exalted above that they associate.
کیا ایسوں کو شریک بناتے ہیں جو کچھ بھھی نہیں بنا سکتے اور وہ خود بنائے ہوئے ہیں
Do they (the disbelievers) ascribe (false deities) that which do not create anything, but are themselves created?
What, do they associate that which creates nothing and themselves are created,
اور نہ وہ ان کی مدد کر سکتے ہیں اور نہ اپنی ہی مدد کر سکتے ہیں
And cannot provide any help to them, nor do they help themselves?
and that have no power to help them, neither they help themselves?
اور اگر تم انہیں راستہ کی طرف بلاؤ تو تمہاری تابعداری نہ کریں برابر ہے کہ تم انہیں پکارو یا چپکے رہو
And if you call the disbelievers to guidance, they do not follow you; it is the same for you, whether you invite them or remain silent.
If you call them to guidance they will not follow you; equal it is to you whether you call them, or whether you are silent.
بے شک جنہیں تم الله کے سوا پکارتے ہو وہ تمہاری طرح کے بندے ہیں پھر انہیں پکار کر دیکھو پھر چاہے کہ وہ تمہاری پکار کو قبول کریں اگر تم سچے ہو
Indeed those whom you (the disbelievers) worship besides Allah are slaves like you – so call them and they may answer you, if you are truthful!
Those on whom you call apart from God, are servants the likes of you; call them and let them answer you, if you speak truly.
کیا ان کے پاؤں ہیں جن سے وہ چلیں یا ان کے ہاتھ ہیں جن سے وہ پکڑیں یا ان کی آنکھیں ہیں جن سے وہ دیکھیں یا ان کے کان ہیں جن سے وہ سنیں کہ تو اپنے شریکوں کو پکارو پھر میری برائی کی تدبیر کرو پھر مجھے ذرا مہلت نہ دو
Do they have feet to walk with? Or have they hands to hold with? Or have they eyes to see with? Or have they ears to hear with? Say, “Call upon your ascribed partners and conspire against me, and do not give me respite.”
What, have they feet wherewith they walk, or have they hands wherewith they lay hold, or have they eyes wherewith they see, or have they ears wherewith they give ear? Say: 'Call you then to your associates; then try your guile on me, and give me no respite.
بےشک میرا حمایتی الله ہے جس نے کتاب نازل فرمائی اور وہ نیکو کاروں کی حمایت کرتا ہے
“Indeed my Protector is Allah Who has sent down the Book; and He befriends the righteous.”
My Protector is God who sent down the Book, and He takes into His protection the righteous.
اور جنہیں تم پکارتے ہو وہ تمہاری مدد نہیں کر سکتے اور نہ اپنی جان کی مدد کر سکتے ہیں
“And those whom you worship besides Him cannot help you nor do they help themselves.”
And those on whom you call, apart from God, have no power to help you, neither they help themselves.'
اور اگر تم انہیں راستہ کی طرف پکارو تو وہ کچھ نہیں سنیں گے اور تو دیکھے گا کہ وہ تیری طرف دیکھتے ہیں حالانکہ وہ کچھ نہیں دیکھتے
And if you call them to guidance they do not listen; and you (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) observe them looking towards you, whereas they do not perceive anything.
If you call them to the guidance they do not hear; and thou seest them looking at thee, unperceiving.
درگزر کر اور نیکی کا حکم دے اور جاہلوں سے الگ رہ
And O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) adopt forgiveness, and enjoin virtue, and turn away from the ignorant.
Take the abundance, and bid to what is honourable, and turn away from the ignorant.
اور اگر تجھے کوئی وسوسہ شیطان کی طرف سے آئے تو الله کی پناہ مانگ لیا کر بے شک وہ سننے والا جاننے والا ہے
And O listener! If the devil provokes you, seek the refuge of Allah; indeed He is All Hearing, All Knowing.
If a provocation from Satan should provoke thee, seek refuge in God; He is All-hearing, All-seeing.
بے شک جو لوگ خدا سے ڈرتے ہیں جب انہیں کوئي خطرہ شیطان کی طرف سے آتا ہے تو وہ یاد میں لگ جاتے ہیں پھر اچانک ان کیآنکھیں کھل جاتی ہیں
Indeed those who fear get alerted whenever a temptation from the devil troubles them, and they perceive immediately.
The godfearing, when a visitation of Satan troubles them, remember, and then see clearly;
اور جو شیاطین کے تابع ہیں وہ انہیں گمراہی میں کھینچے چلے جاتے ہیں پھر وہ باز نہیں آتے
And the devils pull those who their brothers into error, and then do not make any relaxation.
and their brothers they lead on into error, then they stop not short.
اور جب توان کے پاس کوئی معجزہ نہیں لاتا تو کہتے ہیں کہ تو فلاں معجزہ کیوں نہیں لایا کہہ دو میں اس کا اتباع کرتا ہوں جو مجھ پر میرے رب کی طرف سے بھیجا جاتا ہے یہ تمہارے رب کی طرف سے بہت سی دلیلیں ہیں اور ہدایت اور رحمت ہے ان لوگو ں کے لیے جو ایمان دار ہیں
And O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) when you do not bring to them a verse, they say, “Why did you not fabricate it?” Say, “I follow only what is divinely revealed to me from my Lord”; this (the Holy Qur’an) is an enlightenment from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy for the Muslims.
And when thou bringest them not a sign, they say, 'Why hast thou not chosen one?' Say: 'I follow only what is revealed to me from my Lord; this is clear testimony from your Lord, guidance, and mercy for a people of believers.'
اورجب قرآن پڑھا جاتا جائے تو اسے کان لگا کر سنو اور چپ رہو تاکہ تم پر رحم کیا جائے
And when the Qur’an is recited, listen to it attentively and keep silent, so that you receive mercy.
And when the Koran is recited, give you ear to it and be silent; haply so you will find mercy.
اوراپنے رب کو اپنے دل میں عاجزی کرتا ہوا اور ڈرتاہوا یاد کرتا رہ اور صبح اور شام بلند آواز کی نسبت ہلکی آواز سے اور غافلوں سے نہ ہو
And remember your Lord within your hearts humbly and with fear, and softly with your tongues, morning and evening, and do not be of the neglectful.
Remember thy Lord in thy soul, humbly and fearfully, not loud of voice, at morn and eventide. Be not thou among the heedless.
بے شک جو تیرے رب کے ہاں ہیں وہ اس کی بندگی سے تکبر نہیں کرتے اور اس کی پاک ذات کو یاد کرتے ہیں اور اسی کو سجدہ کرتے ہیں
Indeed those who are with your Lord are not conceited towards worshipping Him, and they proclaim His Purity and it is to Him they prostrate. (Command of Prostration # 1)
Surely those who are with thy Lord wax not too proud to serve Him; they chant His praise, and to Him they bow.
