save from their wives and what their right hands own then being not blameworthy
پس جو شخص اس کے علاوہ طلب گار ہو تو وہی حد سے نکلنے والے ہیں
So whoever desires more than these two – they are crossing the limits.

اور البتہ ہم نے انسان کومٹی کے خلاصہ سے پیدا کیا
Indeed We created man from a chosen soil.
We created man of an extraction of clay,
پھر ہم نے حفاظت کی جگہ میں نطفہ بنا کر رکھا
Then made him a drop of fluid in a secure shelter.
then We set him, a drop, in a receptacle secure,
پھر ہم نے نطفہ کا لوتھڑا بنایا پھر ہم نے لوتھڑے سے گوشت کی بوٹی بنائی پھر ہم نے اس بوٹی سے ہڈیاں بنائیں پھر ہم نے ہڈیوں پر گوشت پہنایا پھر اسے ایک نئی صورت میں بنا دیا سو الله بڑی برکت والا سب سےبہتر بنانے والا ہے
We then turned the drop of fluid into a clot of blood, then the clot into a small lump of flesh, then the lump into bones, then covered the bones with flesh; then developed it in a different mould; therefore Most Auspicious is Allah, the Best Creator.
then We created of the drop a clot then We created of the clot a tissue then We created of the tissue bones then We garmented the bones in flesh; thereafter We produced him as another creature. So blessed be God, the fairest of creators!
پھر تم اس کے بعد مرنے والے ہو
Then after that, certainly all of you are to die.
Then after that you shall surely die,
پھر تم قیامت کے دن اٹھائے جاؤ گے
Then you will all be raised on the Day of Resurrection.
then on the Day of Resurrection you shall surely be raised up.
اورہم ہی نے تمہارے اوپر سات آسمان بنائے ہیں اور ہم بنانے میں بے خبر نہ تھے
And indeed We have created seven paths above you; and We are not unmindful of the creation.
And We created above you seven ways, and We were not heedless of creation.
اور ہم نے ایک اندازہ کے ساتھ آسمان سے پانی نازل کیا پھر اسے زمین میں ٹھیرایا اور ہم اس کے لے جانے پر بھی قادر ہیں
And We sent down water from the sky in proper measure, then stored it in the earth; and indeed We are Able to take it away!
And We sent down out of heaven water in measure and lodged it in the earth; and We are able to take it away.
پھر ہم نے اس سے تمہارے لیے کھجور اور انگور کے باغ اگا دیے جن میں تمہارے بہت سے میوے ہیں اور انہی میں سے کھاتے ہو
So with it We produced gardens of date-palms and grapes for you, in which is abundant fruit for you and you eat therefrom.
Then We produced for you therewith gardens of palms and vines wherein are many fruits for you, and of them you eat,
اور وہ درخت جو طور سینا سے نکلتا ہے جو کھانے والوں کے لیے روغن اور سالن لے کر اگتا ہے
And created the tree that comes forth from Mount Sinai – that grows containing oil and curry for the eaters.
and a tree issuing from the Mount of Sinai that bears oil and seasoning for all to eat.
اور بے شک تمہارے لیے چارپایوں میں بھی عبرت ہے کہ ہم تمہیں ان کے پیٹ کی چیزوں میں سے پلاتے ہیں اور تمہارے لیے ان میں اوربھی بہت سے فائدے ہیں اور ان میں سے بعض کو کھاتے ہو
And indeed in the cattle is a lesson for you; We give you to drink what is in their bellies, and there are many benefits for you in them, and in them is your food.
And surely in the cattle there is a lesson for you; We give you to drink of what is in their bellies, and many uses there are in them for you, and of them you eat;
اور ان پر اور کشتیوں پر سوار بھی کیے جاتے ہو
And you are carried on them and on the ship.
and upon them, and on the ships, you are borne.
اور ہم نے نوح کو اس کی قوم کے پاس بھیجا پھر اس نے کہا اے میری قوم الله کی بندگی کرو اس کے سوا تمہارا کوئی معبود نہیں پھر تم کیوں نہیں ڈرتے
And indeed We sent Nooh towards his people – he therefore said, “O my people! Worship Allah, you do not have any other God except Him; so do you not fear?”
And We sent Noah to his people; and he, said, 'O my people, serve God! You have no god other than He. Will you not be godfearing?"
سواس کی قوم کے کافر سرداروں نے کہا کہ یہ بس تم ہی جیسا آدمی ہے تم پر بڑائی حاصل کرنا چاہتا ہے اور اگر الله چاہتا تو فرشتے بھیج دیتا ہم نے اپنے پہلے باب دادا سے یہ بات کبھی نہیں سنی
So the disbelieving chieftains of his people said, “He is just a human like you, he wishes to become your leader; and had Allah willed, He would have sent down angels; We did not hear this in the case of our forefathers.”
Said the Council of the unbelievers of his people, 'This is naught but a mortal like yourselves, who desires to gain superiority over you. And if God willed, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of this among, our fathers, the ancients.
یہ تو بس ایک دیوانہ آدمی ہے پس اس کا ایک وقت تک انتظار کرو
“He is not but a man insane, therefore wait for some time.”
He is naught but a man bedevilled; so wait on him for a time.
کہا اے میرے رب تو میری مدد کر کیوں کہ انہو ں نے مجھے جھٹلایا ہے
Submitted Nooh, “My Lord! Help me as they deny me.”
He said, 'O my Lord, help me, for that they cry me lies.'
پھر ہم نے اس کی طرف وحی کی کہ ہماری آنکھوں کے سامنے اور ہمارے حکم سے کشتی بنا پھر جب ہمارا حکم آ پہنچے اور تنور ابلنے لگے پس تو کشتی میں ہر چیز کا جوڑا نر مادہ اور اپنے گھر والوں کو بٹھا لے مگر ان میں سے وہ شخص جس کے لیے پہلے فیصلہ ہو چکا ہے او رظالموں کے معاملہ میں مجھ سے بات نہ کر بے شک وہ غرق کیے جائیں گے
So We sent him the divine revelation that, “Make the ship in front of Our sight, and by Our command – then when Our command comes and the oven overflows, embark in it two of every couple, and from your household except those upon whom the Word has been decreed; and do not speak to Me in respect of these unjust people; they will surely be drowned.”
Then We said to him, 'Make thou the Ark under Our eyes and as We reveal, and then, when Our command comes and the Oven boils, insert in it two of every kind and thy, family -- except for him against whom the word already has been spoken; and address Me not concerning those who have done evil; they shall be drowned.
پھر جب تو اور جو تیرے ساتھ ہے کشتی پر چڑھ بیٹھو تو کہہ الله کا شکر ہے جس نے ہمیں ظالموں سے چھوڑایا
“And when you and those with you have safely boarded the ship say, ‘All praise is to Allah Who has rescued us from the unjust.’”
Then, when thou art seated in the Ark and those with thee, say, "Praise belongs to God, who has delivered us from the people of the evildoers."
اور کہہ اے میرے رب مجھے برکت کے ساتھ اتار اور تو بہتر اتارنے والا ہے
And pray, “My Lord! Cause me to alight at a blessed place – and You are the Best of all who bring to settle.”
And say, "'O my Lord, do Thou harbour me in a blessed harbour, for Thou art the best of harbourers."
اس واقعہ میں بہت سی نشانیاں ہیں بے شک ہم تو آزمائش کرنے والے تھے
Indeed, surely in this are signs and indeed surely, We were examining.
Surely in that are signs, and surely We put to the test.
پھر ہم نے انکے بعد ایک دوسرا دور پیدا کیا
Then after them, We created another generation.
Thereafter, after them, We produced another generation,
پھر ان میں بھی انہیں میں سے ایک رسول بھیجا کہ الله کی عبادت کرو تمہارے لیے اس کے سوا اورکوئی معبود نہیں پھر تم کیوں نہیں ڈرتے
So We sent among them a Noble Messenger from among them (saying), “Worship Allah, you do not have any other God except Him; so do you not fear?”
and We sent amongst them a Messenger of themselves, saying, 'Serve God! You have no god other than He. Will you not be godfearing?'
اوراس کی قوم کے سرداروں نے کہا جنہوں نے کفر کیا تھا اور قیامت کی آمد کو جھٹلاتے تھے اور جنہیں ہم نے دنیا کی زندگی میں آسودہ کر رکھا تھا کہ یہ بس تمہیں جیسا آدمی ہے وہی کھاتا ہے جو تم کھاتے ہو اور وہی پیتا ہے جو تم پیتے ہو
And said the leaders of his people, who disbelieved and denied the confronting of the Hereafter – and We had given them comfort in the worldly life – that, “He is nothing but a human like you, he eats from what you eat and drinks from what you drink.”
Said the Council of the unbelievers of his people, who cried lies to the encounter of the world to come, and to whom We had given ease in the present' life, 'This is naught but a mortal like yourselves, who eats of what you eat and drinks of what you drink.
اوراگر تم نےاپنے جیسے آدمی کی فرمانبرداری کی توبے شک تم گھاٹے میں پڑ گئے
“If you were to obey a human like yourselves, then surely you are losers!”
If you obey a mortal like yourselves, then you will be losers.
کیا تمہیں وعدہ دیتا ہے کہ جب تم مر جاؤ گے اورمٹی اور ہڈیاں ہو جاؤ گے تو تم نکالے جاؤ گے
“Does he promise you that when you die and turn into dust and bones, you will be raised again?”
What, does he promise you that when you are dead, and become dust and bones, you shall be brought forth?
بہت ہی بعید بہت ہی بعید بات ہے جو تم سے کہی جاتی ہے
“How remote, (really) how remote is the promise you are given!”
Away, away with that you are promised!
ہماری صرف یہی دنیا کی زندگی ہے مرتے اور جیتےہیں اور ہم اٹھائے نہیں جائیں گے
“There is nothing except our life of this world, we die and we live, and we are not to be raised.”
There is nothing but our present life; we die, and we live, and we shall not be raised up.
بس یہ ایک ایسا شخص ہے جو الله پر جھوٹ باندھتا ہے اور ہم اسے ماننے والے نہیں ہیں
“He is just a man who has fabricated a lie against Allah, and we are not going to believe him.”
He is naught but a man who has forged against God a lie, and we will not believe him.'
کہا اے میرے رب میری مدد کر کہ انہو ں نے مجھے جھٹلایا ہے
He said, “My Lord! Help me as they deny me.”
He said, 'O my Lord, help me, for that they cry me lies.'
فرمایا تھوڑی دیر کے بعد یہ خود نادم ہوں گے
Said Allah, “They will soon wake up at morn, regretting.”
He said, 'In a little they will be remorseful.'
پھر انہیں ایک سخت آواز نے سچے وعدہ کا موافق آ پکڑا پھر ہم نے انہیں خس و خاشاک کر دیا پھر ظالموں پر الله کی پٹکار ہے
So the true Scream seized them – We therefore made them like rotten hay; so away with the unjust people!
And the Cry seized them justly, and We made them as scum; so away with the people of the evildoers!
پھر ہم نے ان کے بعد اوربہت سے دور پیدا کیے
Then after them, We created other generations.
Thereafter, after them, We produced other generations;
کوئی جماعت نہ اپنے وقت سے آگے بڑھ سکتی ہے نہ پیچھے ہٹ سکتی ہے
No nation can go before its term ends nor stay back.
no nation outstrips its term, nor do they put it back.
پھر ہم اپنے رسول لگاتار بھیجتے رہے جب کوئی رسول اپنی قوم کے پاس آیا وہ اسے جھٹلاتی ہی رہی پھر ہم بھی ایک کے بعد دوسری کو ہلاک کرتے گئے اور ہم نے ان کو افسانے بنا دیے پھر ان لوگوں پر پھٹکار ہے جو ایمان نہیں لاتے
We then sent our Noble Messengers, one after another; whenever a nation’s Noble Messenger came to it they denied him, We therefore united the succeeding with the old, and made them history; so far removed be the people who do not believe!
Then sent We Our Messengers successively; whenever its Messenger came to a nation they cried him lies, so We caused some of them to follow others, and We made them as but tales; so away with a people who do not believe!
پھر ہم نے موسیٰ اور اس کے بھائی ہارون کو اپنی نشانیاں اور کھلی سند دے کر
We then sent Moosa and his brother Haroon, with Our signs and a clear proof.
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a manifest authority
فرعون اور اس کے سرداروں کے پاس بھیجا پھر انہوں نے تکبر کیا اور وہ سرکش لوگ تھے
Towards Firaun and his court members – in response they were haughty, and they were in dominance.
unto Pharaoh and his Council; but they waxed proud, and they were a lofty people,
پھر کہا کیا ہم اپنے جیسے دو شخصوں پر ایمان لائیں جن کی قوم ہماری غلامی کر رہی ہو
They therefore said, “Shall we believe in two humans like ourselves, whereas their nation is servile to us?”
and they said, 'What, shall we believe two mortals like ourselves, whose people are our servants?'
پھر ان دونوں کو جھٹلایا پھر ہلاک کر دیے گئے
So they denied them – therefore became of those who were destroyed.
So they cried them lies, and they were among the destroyed.
اور البتہ ہم نے موسیٰ کو کتاب دی تھی تاکہ وہ ہدایت پائیں
And indeed We gave Moosa the Book, that they may attain guidance.
And We gave Moses the Book, that haply they would be guided;
اور ہم نے مریم کے بیٹے اور اس کی ماں کو نشانی بنایا تھا اور انہیں ایک ٹیلہ پر جگہ دی جہاں ٹھیرےنے کا موقع اور پانی جاری تھا
And We made the son of Maryam (Prophet Eisa) and his mother a sign, and We gave them shelter on a height, a place to stay and visible springs.
and We made Mary's son, and his mother, to be a sign, and gave them refuge upon a height, where was a hollow and a spring:
ا ے رسولو! ستھری چیزیں کھاؤ اور اچھے کام کرو بے شک میں جانتا ہوں جو تم کرتے ہو
“O Noble Messengers, eat good clean things, and do good deeds; I know all that you do.”
'O Messengers, eat of the good things and do righteousness; surely I know the things you do.
اور بے شک یہ تمہاری جماعت ایک ہی جماعت ہے اور میں تم سب کا رب ہوں پس مجھ سے ڈرو
“And indeed this religion of yours is one religion only and I am your Lord, therefore fear Me.”
Surely this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord; so fear Me.'
پھر انہوں نے اپنے دین کو آپس میں ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کر لیا ہر ایک جماعت اس ٹکڑے پو جو ان کے پاس ہے خوش ہونے والے ہیں
But their nations broke their tasks into pieces; every group happy with what it has.
But they split in their affair between them into sects, each party rejoicing in what is with them.
پھر ایک وقت تک انہیں اپنے نشہ میں پڑا رہنے دو
So leave them in their intoxication till a time.
So leave thou them in their perplexity for a time.
کیا وہ یہ خیال کرتے ہیں کہ ہم انہیں مال اور اولاد میں ترقی دے رہے ہیں
Do they assume that the wealth and sons which We provide them –
What, do they think that We succour them with of wealth and children,
انہیں فائدہ پہچانے میں جلدی کر رہے ہیں بلکہ یہ نہیں سمجھتے
Are quickly giving them goodness? In fact, they do not know.
We vie in good works for them? Nay, but they are not aware.
بے شک جو اپنے رب کی ہیبت سے ڈرنے والے ہیں
Indeed those who are overwhelmed due to the fear of their Lord –
Surely those who tremble in fear of their Lord
اور جو اپنے رب کی آیتوں پر ایمان لاتے ہیں
And those who believe in the signs of their Lord –
and those who believe in the signs of their Lord
اور جو اپنے رب کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہیں کرتے
And those who do not ascribe any partner to their Lord –
and those who associate naught with their Lord
اور جو دیتے ہیں جو کچھ دیتے ہیں اور ان کے دل اس سے ڈرتے ہیں کہ وہ اپنے رب کی طرف لوٹنے والے ہیں
And those who give what they give and their hearts fear for they have to return to their Lord.
and those who give what they give, their hearts quaking that they are returning to their Lord --
یہی لوگ نیک کامو ں میں جلدی کرتے ہیں اور وہی نیکیوں میں آگے بڑھنے والے ہیں
These people hasten to perform goodness, and it is they who shall reach it first.
those vie in good works, outracing to them.
اور ہم کسی پر اس کی طاقت سے بڑھ کر بوجھ نہیں ڈالتے اور ہمارے پاس ایک کتاب ہے جو سچ بولے گی اور ان پر ظلم نہیں کیا جائے گا
And We do not burden any soul beyond its capacity, and with Us is a Book* that speaks the truth, and they will not be wronged. (* The preserved tablet or the record of one’s deeds.)
We charge not any soul save to its capacity, and with Us is a Book speaking truth, and they shall not be wronged.
بلکہ ان کے دل اس سے بے ہوشی میں پڑے ہوئے ہیں اوراس کے سوا ان کے اوربھی کام ہیں کہ جنہیں وہ کیا کرتے ہیں
On the contrary, their hearts are in neglect of this and their works are different than those of the believers, the works that they are doing.
Nay, but their hearts are in perplexity as to this, and they have deeds besides that that they are doing.
یہاں تک کہ جب ہم ان میں سے آسودہ حال لوگوں کو عذاب میں پکڑیں گے فوراً وہ چلائیں گے
To the extent that when We seized the wealthy among them with punishment, they immediately began imploring.
Till, when We seize with the chastisement the ones of them that live at ease, behold, they groan.
آج کے دن مت چلاؤ بے شک تم ہم سے چھڑائے نہ جاؤ گے
“Do not implore this day; you will not be helped by Us.”
'Groan not today; surely you shall not be helped from Us.
تمہیں میری آیتیں سنائی جاتی تھیں پھر تم ایڑیوں پر الٹے بھاگتے تھے
“My verses were recited to you, so you used to turn back on your heels.”
My signs were recited to you, but upon your heels you withdrew,
غرور میں آ کر اسے کہانی سمجھ کر چلے جایا کرتے تھے
“Priding yourself in serving the Sacred Mosque; at night you utter indecent stories in it, while discarding the truth.”
waxing proud against it, talking foolish talk by night.'
کیا انہوں نے اس ارشاد میں غور ہی نہیں کیا یا ان کے پاس ایسی بات آئی ہے جو ان کے پہلے باپ دادا کے پاس نہیں آئی تھی
Have they not pondered the matter, or did that come to them, which did not come to their forefathers?
Have they not pondered the saying, or came there upon them that which came not upon their fathers, the ancients?
یا یہ لوگ اپنے رسول کو پہچانتے نہیں تب یہ اس کے منکر ہیں
Or is it that they did not recognise their Noble Messenger, therefore they consider him alien?
Or did they not recognise their Messenger and so denied him?
یا کہتے ہیں کہ اسے جنون ہے بلکہ رسول ان کے پاس حق بات لے کر آیا ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر حق کو ناپسند کرنے والے ہیں
Or they say, “He is afflicted by a demon”; in fact he brought the Truth to them, and most of them dislike the Truth.
Or do they say, 'He is bedevilled'? Nay, he has brought them the truth, but most of them are averse from the truth.
اوراگر حق ان کی خواہشوں کے مطابق ہوتا تو آسمان اور زمین میں اورجو کچھ ان میں ہے درہم برہم ہو گیا ہوتا بلکہ ہم نے تو ان کی نصیحت انہیں پہنچا دی ہے سو وہ اپنی نصیحت سے منہ موڑنے والے ہیں
And had the Truth followed their desires, then indeed the heavens and the earth and all those who are in them would be destroyed; in fact We brought to them a thing in which lay their repute, so they are turned away from their own repute.
Had the truth followed their caprices, the heavens and the earth and whosoever in them is had surely corrupted. Nay, We brought them their Remembrance, but from their Remembrance they turned.
کیا تو ان سے کچھ اجرت مانگتا ہے سو تیرے رب کی اجرت بہتر ہے اور وہی سب سے بہتر روزی دینے والا ہے
Do you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) ask any fee from them? So the reward of your Lord is the best; and He is the Best Provider of Sustenance.
Or dost thou ask them for tribute? Yet the tribute of thy Lord is better, and He is the best of providers.
اوربے شک تو انہیں سیدھے راستہ کی طرف بلاتا ہے
And indeed you call them to the Straight Path.
Assuredly thou art calling them to a straight path;
اور جو لوگ آخرت کو نہیں مانتے سیدھے راستہ سے ہٹنے والے ہیں
And indeed those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviated from the Straight Path.
and surely they that believe not in the world to come are deviating from the path.
اور اگر ہم ا ن پر رحم کر کے ان کی تکلیف کو دور کر دیں تو بھی وہ اپنی سرکشی میں گمراہ پڑے رہیں گے
And if We have mercy upon them and remove the calamity which has befallen them, they would still stubbornly persist, wandering in their rebellion.
Did We have mercy on them, and remove the affliction that is upon them, they would persist in their insolence wandering blindly.
اور البتہ ہم نے انہیں عذاب میں مبتلا بھی کیا پھر بھی اپنے رب کے سامنے عاجزی نہ کی اورنہ گڑگڑائے
And indeed We grasped them with punishment, so neither did they submit themselves to their Lord, nor do they cry humbly.
We already seized them with the chastisement, yet they abased not themselves to their Lord nor were they humble;
یہاں تک کہ جب ہم نے ان پر سخت عذاب کا دروازہ کھولا تو فوراً اس میں نا امید ہوگئے
To the extent that when We opened the gate of a severe punishment for them, they thereupon lie despairingly in it.
until, when We open against them a door of terrible chastisement, lo, they are sore confounded at it.
اور اسی نے تمہارے کان اور آنکھیں اور دل بنائےہیں تم بہت ہی کم شکر کرتے ہو
And it is He Who has created ears and eyes and hearts for you; very little is the right you acknowledge.
It is He who produced for you hearing, and eyes, and hearts; little thanks you show.
اور اسی نے تمہیں زمین میں پھیلا رکھا ہے اور اسی کی طرف جمع کیے جاؤ گے
And it is He Who has spread you in the earth, and towards Him you are to be raised.
It is He who scattered you in the earth, and to Him you shall be mustered.
اور وہی زندہ کرتا ہے اورمارتا ہے اور رات اور دن کا بدلنا اسی کی اختیار میں ہے سو کیا تم نہیں سمجھتے
And it is He Who gives life and causes death, and for Him are the alternations of night and day; so do you not have sense?
It is He who gives life, and makes to die, and to Him belongs the alternation of night and day; what, will you not understand?
بلکہ وہی کہتے ہیں جو پہلے لوگ کہتے تھے
On the contrary, they said the same as what the former people used to say.
Nay, but they said the like of what the ancients said.
کہتے ہیں کیا جب ہم مرجائیں گے اور مٹی اور ہڈیاں ہو جائیں گے تو کیا ہم دوبارہ زندہ کیے جائیں گے
They say, “Will we, when we die and turn into dust and bones, be raised again?”
They said, 'What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be indeed raised up?
اس کا تو ہم سے اوراس سے پہلے اور ہمارے باپ دادا سے وعدہ ہوتا چلاآیا ہے یہ صرف اگلےلوگوں کی کہانیاں ہیں
“Indeed this promise was given to us and before us to our forefathers – this is nothing but stories of earlier people.”
We and our fathers have been promised this before; this is naught but the fairy-tales of the ancients.'
ان سے پوچھو یہ زمین اور جو کچھ اس میں ہے کس کا ہے اگر تم جانتے ہو
Say O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “To Whom does the earth and all that is in it belong to, if you know?”
Say: 'Whose is the earth, and whoso is in it, if you have knowledge?'
وہ فوراً کہیں گے الله کاہے کہہ دو پھر تم کیوں نہیں سمجھتے
Thereupon they will say, “To Allah”; proclaim, “Therefore why do you not ponder?”
They will say, God's.' Say: 'Will you not then remember?'
ان سے پوچھو کہ ساتوں آسمانوں اور عرش عظیم کا مالک کون ہے
Say, “Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Tremendous Throne?”
Say: 'Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the mighty Throne?'
وہ فوراً کہیں گے الله ہے کہہ دوکیاپھر تم الله سے نہیں ڈرتے
Thereupon they will say, “Such greatness is only that of Allah”; say, “So why do you not fear?”
They will say, 'God's.' Say: 'Will you not then be godfearing?'
ان سے پوچھو کہ ہر چیز کی حکومت کس کے ہاتھ میں ہے اور وہ بچا لیتا ہے اور اسے کوئی نہیں بچا سکتا اگر تم جانتے ہو
Say, “In Whose hand is the control over all things, and He provides refuge, and none can provide refuge against Him, if you know?”
Say: 'In whose hand is the dominion of everything, protecting and Himself unprotected, if you have knowledge?'
وہ فوراً کہیں گے الله ہی کے ہاتھ میں ہے کہہ دو پھرتم کیسے دیوانے ہو رہے ہو
Thereupon they will say, “Such greatness is only that of Allah”; say, “Then by what magic are you deceived?”
They will say, 'God's.' Say: 'How then are you bewitched?
بلکہ ہم نے تو ان کے پاس حق بات پہنچا دی اور بے شک وہ البتہ جھوٹے ہیں
In fact We brought the Truth to them, and indeed they are liars.
Nay, but We brought them the truth and they are truly liars.
الله نے کوئی بھی بیٹا نہیں بنایا اورنہ اس کے ساتھ کوئی معبود ہی ہے اگر ہوتا تو ہر خدا اپنی بنائی ہوئی چیز کو الگ لے جاتا اور ایک دوسرے پر چڑھائی کرتا الله پاک ہے جو یہ بیان کرتے ہیں
Allah has not chosen any child, nor any other God along with Him – were it so, each God would have taken away its creation, and each one would certainly wish superiority over the other; Purity is to Allah above all the matters they fabricate.
God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him; for then each god would have taken off that he created and some of them would have risen up over others; glory to be God, beyond that they describe,
غائب اور حاضر سب کا جاننے والا ہے وہ بہت بلند ہے اس سے جسے یہ شریک بناتے ہیں
The All Knowing, of every hidden and the visible – so Supremacy is to Him over their ascribing of partners (to Him).
who has knowledge of the Unseen and the Visible; high exalted be He, above that they associate!
کہہ دو اے میرے رب اگر تو مجھے دکھائے وہ چیز جس کا انہیں وعدہ دیا جارہا ہے
Pray, “My Lord! If You show me the promise they are given,”
Say: 'O my Lord, if Thou shouldst show me that they are promised,
تو اے میرے رب مجھے ظالموں میں شامل نہ کر
“Therefore my Lord, do not group me with the unjust.”
O my Lord, put me not among the people of the evildoers.'
اور ہم اس پر قادر ہیں کہ تجھے دکھا دیں جو ہم نے ان سے وعدہ کیا ہے
And indeed We are Able to show you the promise they are given.
Assuredly, We are able to show thee that We promise them.
بری بات کے جواب میں وہ کہو جو بہتر ہے ہم خوب جانتے ہیں جو یہ بیان کرتے ہیں
Repel evil with the best deeds; We well know the matters that they fabricate.
Repel thou the evil with that which is fairer. We Ourselves know very well that they describe.
اور کہواے میرے رب میں شیطانی خطرات سے تیری پناہ مانگتا ہوں
And submit, “My Lord! I seek Your refuge from the instigation of the devils.”
And say: 'O my Lord, I take refuge in Thee from the evil suggestions of the Satans,
اوراےمیرے رب میں تیری پناہ چاہتا ہوں اس سے کہ شیطان میرے پاس آئيں
“And my Lord, (I seek) Your refuge from their coming to me.”
and I take refuge in Thee, O my Lord, lest they attend me.'
یہاں تک کہ جب ان میں سے کسی کو موت آئے گی تو کہے گا اے میرے رب مجھے پھر بھیج دے
Until, when death comes to one* of them, he says, “O my Lord, send me back!” (The disbelievers)
Till, when death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord, return me;
تاکہ جسے میں چھوڑ آیا ہوں اس میں نیک کام کر لوں ہر گز نہیں ایک بات ہی بات ہے جسے یہ کہہ رہا ہے اور ان کے آگے قیامت تک ایک پردہ پڑا ہوا ہے
“Perhaps I may do some good deeds in what I have left behind”; this is just a word that he utters from his mouth; and confronting them is a barrier until the day in which they will be raised.
haply I shall do righteousness in that I forsook.' Nay, it is but a word he speaks; and there; behind them, is a barrier until the day that they shall be raised up.
پھر جب صور پھونکا جائے گا تو اس دن ان میں نہ رشتہ داریاں رہیں گے اور نہ کوئی کسی کو پوچھے گا
