ہم تجھے ایمان داروں کے فائدے کے لیے موسیٰ اور فرعون کا کچھ صحیح حال سناتے ہیں
We shall narrate to you the true tidings of Moosa and Firaun, for the people who have faith.
We will recite to thee something of the tiding of Moses and Pharaoh truthfully, for a people who believe.
بے شک فرعون زمین پر سرکش ہو گیا تھا اور وہاں کے لوگوں کے کئی گروہ کر دیئے تھے ان میں سے ایک گروہ کو کمزور کر رکھا تھا ان کے لڑکوں کو قتل کرتا تھا اور ان کی لڑکیوں کو زندہ رکھتا تھا بے شک وہ مفسدوں میں سے تھا
Indeed Firaun had achieved dominance in the earth and made its people subservient to him – seeing a group among them weak, he used to kill their sons and spare their women; he was indeed very mischievous.
Now Pharaoh had exalted himself in the land and had divided its inhabitants into sects, abasing one party of them, slaughtering their sons, and sparing their women; for he was of the workers of corruption.
اور ہم چاہتے تھے کہ ان پر احسان کریں جو ملک میں کمزور کیے گئے تھے اورانہیں سردار بنا دیں اور انہیں وارث کریں
And We willed to favour those who were weak in the earth, and to make them leaders and to make them the inheritors (of the land and wealth of Firaun’s people).
Yet We desired to be gracious to those that were abased in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors,
اور انہیں ملک پر قابض کریں اور فرعون ہامان اور ان کے لشکروں کو وہ چیز دکھا دیں جس کا وہ خطر کرتے تھے
And to give them control in the land, and to show Firaun and Haman and their armies what they fear from them.
and to establish them in the land, and to show Pharaoh and Ha man, and their hosts, what they were dreading from them.
اور ہم نے موسیٰ کی ماں کو حکم بھیجا کہ اسے دودھ پلا پھر جب تجھے اس کا خوف ہو تو اسے دریا میں ڈال دے اور کچھ خوف اور غم نہ کر بے شک ہم اسے تیرے پاس واپس پہنچا دیں گے اور اسے رسولوں میں سے بنانے والے ہیں
And We inspired the mother of Moosa that, “Suckle him; then when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear nor grieve; We shall indeed return him back to you and make him one of the Noble Messengers.”
So We revealed to Moses' mother, 'Suckle him, then, when thou fearest for him, cast him into the sea, and do not fear, neither sorrow, for We shall return him to thee, and shall appoint him one of the Envoys.'
پھر اسے فرعون کے گھر والو ں نے اٹھا لیا تاکہ بالآخر وہ ان کا دشمن اور غم کا باعث بنے بے شک فرعون اور ہامان اور ان کے لشکر خطا کار تھے
So the family of Firaun picked him up, in order that he become their enemy and a sorrow upon them; indeed Firaun and Haman and their armies were guilty.
So then the folk of Pharaoh picked him out to be an enemy and a sorrow to them; certainly Pharaoh and Haman, and their hosts, were of the sinners.
اور فرعون کی عورت نے کہا یہ تو میرے اور تیرے لیے آنکھوں کی ٹھنڈک ہے اسے قتل نہ کرو شاید ہمارے کام آئے یا ہم اسے بیٹا بنالیں اور انہیں کچھ خبر نہ تھی
And Firaun’s wife said, “This child is the comfort of my eyes and yours*; do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as our son” – and they were unaware. (Had Firaun also said the same, Allah would have granted him faith.)
Said Pharaoh's wife, 'He will be a comfort to me and thee. Slay him not; perchance he will profit us, or we will take him for a son.' And they were not aware.
اور صبح کو موسی ٰکی ماں کا دل بے قرار ہو گیا قریب تھی کہ بے قراری ظاہر کر دے اگر ہم اس کے دل کو صبر نہ دیتے تاکہ اسے ہمارے وعدے کا یقین رہے
And in the morning, the heart of Moosa’s mother became impatient; and she would have almost certainly given away his secret had We not strengthened her heart, so that she may have faith in Our promise.
On the morrow the heart of Moses" mother became empty, and she wellnigh disclosed him had We not strengthened her heart, that she might be among the believers;
اور اس کی بہن سے کہا اس کے پیچھے چلی جا پھر اسے اجنبی ہو کر دیکھتی رہی اور انہیں خبر نہ ہوئی
And she said to his sister, “Go after him” – she therefore observed him from far, and they were not aware.
and she said to his sister, 'Follow him,' and she perceived him from afar, even while they were not aware.
اور ہم نے پہلے سے اس پر دائیوں کا دودھ حرام کر دیا تھا پھر بولی میں تمہیں ایسے گھر والے بتاؤں جو اس کی تمہارے لیے پرورش کریں اور وہ اس کے خیر خواہ ہوں
And We had already forbidden suckle-nurses for him, so she said, “Shall I show you a household that will nurse this child of yours, and they are his well-wishers?”
Now We had forbidden to him aforetime to be suckled by any foster-mother; therefore she said, 'Shall I direct you to the people of a household who will take charge of him for you and look after him?'
پھر ہم نے اسے اس کی ماں کے پا س پہنچا دیا تاکہ ا س کی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی رہیں اور غمگین نہ ہو اور جان لے کہ الله کا وعدہ سچا ہے لیکن اکثر آدمی نہیں جانتے
So We returned him to his mother in order to soothe her eyes and not grieve, and to know that Allah’s promise is true – but most people do not know.
So We returned him to his mother, that she might be comforted and not sorrow, and that she might know that the promise of God is true; but most of them do not know.
اور جب اپنی جوانی کو پہنچا اور پورا توانا ہوا تو ہم نے اسے حکمت اور علم دیا اور ہم نیکوں کو اسی طرح بدلہ دیا کرتے ہیں
And when he reached his maturity and full strength, We gave him wisdom and knowledge; and this is how We reward the virtuous.
And when he was fully grown and in the perfection of his strength, We gave him judgment and knowledge; even so do We recompense the good-doers.
اور شہر میں لوگوں کی بے خبری کے وقت داخل ہوا پھر وہاں دو شخصوں کو لڑتے ہوئے پایا یہ ایک اس کی جماعت کا تھااوریہ دوسرا اس کے دشمنوں میں سے تھا پھر اس نے جو اس کی جماعت کا تھا اپنے دشمن پر اس سے مدد چاہی تب موسیٰ نے اس پر مکا مارا پس اس کا کام تمام کر دیا کہا یہ تو شیطانی حرکت ہے بے شک وہ کھلا دشمن اور گمراہ کرنے والا ہے
And he entered the city when its inhabitants were sleeping unaware in the afternoon – he therefore found two men fighting; one was from Moosa’s group, and the other from among his enemies; so the one who was of Moosa’s group pleaded to Moosa for help against him who was of his enemies – therefore Moosa punched him thereby finishing him; he said, “This act was from the devil*; indeed he is an open enemy, a misleader.” (* The act of oppressing the man from Bani Israel).
And he entered the city, at a time when its people were unheeding, and found there two men fighting; the one was of his own party, and the other was of his enemies. Then the one that was of his party cried to him to aid him against the other that was of his enemies; so Moses struck him, and despatched him, and said, 'This is of Satan's doing; he is surely an enemy misleading, manifest.'
کہا اے میرے رب! بے شک میں نے اپنی جان پر ظلم کیا سو مجھے بخش دے پھر اسے بخش دیا بے شک وہ بخشنے والا مہربان ہے
He said, “My Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul* therefore forgive me” – He therefore forgave him; indeed only He is the Oft Forgiving, the Most Merciful. (* By getting angry.)
He said, 'My Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me!' So God forgave him, for He is the All-forgiving, the All-compassionate.
کہا اے میرے رب! جیسا تو نے مجھ پر فضل کیا ہے پھر میں گناہگاروں کا کبھی مددگار نہیں ہوں گا
He said, “My Lord! The way You have bestowed favour upon me, so never will I be a supporter of the guilty.”
He said, 'My Lord, forasmuch as Thou hast blessed me, I will never be a partisan of the sinners.'
پھر شہر میں ڈرتا انتظار کرتا ہوا صبح کو گیا پھر وہی شخص جس نے کل اس سے مدد مانگی تھی اسے پکار رہا ہے موسیٰ نے اس سے کہا کہ بے شک تو صریح گمراہ ہے
So he was in the city at morning fearing, waiting to see what happens – thereupon he sighted the one who had appealed to him the day before, crying out to him for help; Moosa said to him, “Indeed you are clearly astray.”
Now in the morning he was in the city, fearful and vigilant; and behold, the man who had sought his, succour on the day before cried out to him again. Moses said to him, 'Clearly thou art, a quarreller.'
پھر جب ارادہ کیا کہ اس پر ہاتھ ڈالے جو ان دونوں کا دشمن تھا کہا اے موسیٰ! کیا تو چاہتا ہے کہ مجھے مار ڈالے جیسا تو نے کل ایک آدمی کو مار ڈالا ہے تو یہی چاہتا ہے کہ ملک میں زبردستی کرتا پھرے اور تو نہیں چاہتا کہ اصلاح کرنے والوں میں سے ہو
So when Moosa wished to apprehend the man who was an enemy to them both, he said, “O Moosa! Do you wish to kill me the way you killed a man yesterday? You only wish to become a strict ruler in the land, and not to make reform.”
But when he would have assaulted the man who was an enemy to them both, the man said, 'Moses, dost thou' desire to slay me, even as thou slewest a living 'soul yesterday? Thou only desirest to be a tyrant in the land; thou desirest not to be of them that put things right.'
اور شہر کے پرلے سرے سے ایک آدمی دوڑتا ہوا آیا کہا اے موسیٰ! دریا والے ترے متعلق مشورہ کرتے ہیں کہ تجھ کو مار ڈالیں سو نکل بے شک میں تیرا بھلا چاہنے والا ہوں
And a man came running from the outer part of the city; he said, “O Moosa! Indeed the court members are considering killing you, therefore go away – I surely am your well-wisher.”
Then came a man from the furthest part of the city, running; he said, 'Moses, the Council are conspiring to slay thee. Depart; I am one of thy sincere advisers.'
پھر وہاں سے ڈرتا انتظار کرتا ہوا نکلا کہا اے میرے رب! مجھے ظالم قوم سے بچا لے
So he left the city in fear, waiting to see what happens; he said, “My Lord! Rescue me from the unjust people.”
So he departed therefrom, fearful and vigilant; he said, 'My Lord, deliver me from the people of the evildoers.'
اور جب مدین کی طرف رخ کیا تو کہا امید ہے کہ میرا رب مجھے سیدھا راستہ بتا دے گا
And when he turned his attention towards Madyan he said, “It is likely that my Lord will show me the right path.”
And when he turned his face towards Midian he said, 'It may be that my Lord will guide me
اور جب مدین کے پانی پر پہنچا وہاں لوگوں کی ایک جماعت کو پانی پلاتے ہوئے پایا اور ان سے ورے دو عورتوں کو پایا جو اپنے جانور روکے ہوئے کھڑی تھیں کہا تمہارا کیا حال ہے بولیں جب تک چرواہے نہیں ہٹ جاتے ہم نہیں پلاتیں اور ہمارا باپ بوڑھابڑی عمر کا ہے
And when he came to the water of Madyan he found a group of men, watering their animals; and away from them he found two women restraining their animals; he said, “What is the matter with you?” They said, “We do not water our animals till all the shepherds water and take away their animals; and our father is very old.”
On the right way. And when he came to the waters of Midian he found a company of the people there drawing water, and he found, apart from them, two women holding back their flocks. He said, 'What is your business?' They said, 'We may not draw water until the shepherds drive off; and our father is passing old.'
پھر ان کے جانوروں کو پانی پلا دیا پھر سایہ کی طرف ہٹ کر آیا کہ اے میرے رب تو میری طرف جو اچھی چیز اتارے میں اس کا محتاج ہوں
Therefore Moosa watered their animals for them, and then turned towards the shade and said, “My Lord! I am in need of the sustenance you may send down for me.”
So he drew water for them; then he turned away to the shade, and he said, 'O my Lord, surely I have need of whatever good Thou shalt have sent down upon me.
پھر ان دونوں میں سے ایک اس کے پاس شرم سے چلتی ہوئی آئی کہا میرے باپ نے تمہیں بلایا ہے کہ تمہیں پلائی کی اجرت دے پھر جب اس کے پاس پہنچا اور اس کے تمام حال بیان کیا کہا خوف نہ کر تواس بے انصاف قوم سے بچ آیا ہے
So one of the two women approached him, walking shyly; she said, “My father is calling you, in order to give you wages because you watered our animals for us”; when Moosa came to him and had told him the story, he said, “Do not fear, you are safe from the unjust people.”
Then came one of the two women to him, walking modestly, and said, 'My father invites thee, that he may recompense thee with the wage of thy drawing water for us.' So when he came to him and had related to him the story, he said, 'Be not afraid; thou hast escaped from the people of the evildoers.'
ان دونوں میں سے ایک بولی اے باپ! اسے نوکر رکھ لے بے شک بہتر نوکر جسے تو رکھنا چاہے وہ ہے جو زور آوار امانت دار ہو
One of the two women said, “O my father! Employ him – indeed a strong and trustworthy employee is better.”
Said one of the two women, 'Father, hire him; surely the best man thou canst hire is the one strong and trusty.'
کہا میں چاہتاہوں کہ اپنی ان دونوں بیٹیوں میں سے ایک کا تجھ سے نکاح کر دوں اس شرط پر کہ تو آٹھ برس تک میری نوکری کرے پھر اگر تو دس پورے کر دے تو تیری طرف سے احسان ہے او رمیں نہیں چاہتا کہ تجھے تکلیف میں ڈالوں اگر الله نے چاہا تو مجھے نیک بختوں سے پائے گا
He said, “I wish to give you one of these two daughters of mine in marriage, the bridal money being that you work for me for eight years; then if you complete ten years, it will be from you; and I do not wish to put you in hardship; Allah willing, you will probably find me of the righteous.”
He said, 'I desire to marry thee to one of these my two daughters, on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for eight years. If thou completest ten, that shall be of thy own accord; I do not desire to' press hard 'upon thee. Thou shalt assuredly find me, if God wills, one of the righteous.'
کہا میرے او رتیرے درمیان یہ وعدہ ہو چکا ان دونو ں مدتوں میں سے جونسی پوری کر دوں تو مجھ پر زیادتی نہ ہو اور الله ہمارے قول پر گواہ ہے
Said Moosa, “This is agreed between me and you; there shall be no claim upon me if I fulfil any of these two terms; and Allah is the Trustee upon this word of ours.”
Said he, 'So let it be between me and thee. Whichever of the two' terms I fulfil, it shall be no Injustice to me; and God is guardian of what we say.
پھر جب موسیٰ وہ مدت پوری کر چکا اور اپنے گھر والوں کو لے کر چلا کوہِ طور کی طرف سے ایک آگ دیکھی اپنے گھر والوں سے کہا ٹھیرو میں نے ایک آگ دیکھی ہے شاید تمہارے پاس وہا ں کی کچھ خبر یا آگ کا انگارہ لے آؤں تاکہ تم سینکو
So when Moosa completed his term and was travelling with his wife, he saw a fire in the direction of the Mount (Sinai); he said to his wife “Stay here – I have sighted a fire in the direction of the mount – perhaps I may bring you some news from it, or an ember so that you may warm yourselves.”
So when Moses had accomplished the term and departed with his household, he observed on the side of the Mount a fire. He said to his household, 'Tarry you here; I observe a fire. Perhaps I shall bring you news of it, or a faggot from the fire, that haply you shall warm yourselves.'
پھر جب اس کے پاس پہنچا تو میدان کے داہنے کنارے سے برکت والی جگہ میں ایک درخت سے آواز آئی کہ اے موسیٰ! میں الله جہان کا رب ہوں
And when he reached the fire, he was called out to from the right side of the valley in the blessed field, from the tree, “O Moosa! Indeed I am truly Allah, the Lord Of The Creation.”
When he came to it, a voice cried from the right of the watercourse, in the sacred hollow, coming from the tree: 'Moses, I am God, the Lord of all Being.'
اور یہ کہ اپنی لاٹھی ڈال دے پھر جب اسے دیکھا کہ سانپ کی طرح لہرا رہا ہے تو منہ پھیر کر الٹا بھاگا اور پیچھے مڑ کر نہ دیکھا اے موسیٰ! سامنے آ اور ڈر نہیں بے شک تو امن والوں سے ہے
“Put down your staff”; so when Moosa saw it writhing like a serpent, he turned moving away without looking back; “O Moosa! Come forth and do not fear; indeed you are in peace.”
'Cast down thy staff.' And when he saw it quivering like a serpent, he turned about retreating, and turned not back. 'Moses, come forward, and fear not; for surely thou art in security.'
اپنے گریبان میں اپنا ہاتھ ڈال وہ بغیر کسی عیب کے چمکتا ہوا نکلے گا اور رفع خوف کے لیے اپنا بازو اپنی طرف ملا سو تیرے رب کی طرف سے فرعون اور اس کے سرداروں کے لیے یہ دو سندیں ہیں بے شک وہ نافرمان لوگ ہیں
“Put your hand inside your armpit – it will come out shining white, not due to any illness; and put your hand on your chest to remove the fear – so these are two proofs from your Lord to Firaun and his court members; indeed they are a lawless people.”
Insert thy hand into thy bosom, and it will come forth white without evil; and press to thee thy arm, that thou be not afraid. So these shall be two proofs from thy Lord to Pharaoh and his Council; for surely they are an ungodly people.'
کہا اے میرے رب! میں نے ان کے ایک آدمی کو قتل کیا ہے پس میں ڈرتا ہوں کہ مجھے مارڈ الیں گے
He submitted, “My Lord! I killed a soul among them and I fear they will kill me.”
Said he, 'My Lord, I have indeed slain a living soul among them, and I fear that they will slay me.
اور میرے بھائی ہارون کی زبان مجھ سے زياہ روان ہے اسے میرے ساتھ مددگار بنا کر بھیج کہ میری تصدیق کرےکیونکہ میں ڈرتا ہوں کہ وہ مجھے جھٹلائیں گے
“And my brother Haroon – he is more eloquent than I am in speech, therefore in order to help me, appoint him as a Noble Messenger so that he confirms me; I fear that they will deny me.”
Moreover my brother Aaron is more eloquent than I. Send him with me as a helper and to confirm I speak truly, for' I fear they will cry me lies.'
فرمایا ہم تیرے بازو کو تیرے بھائی سے مضبوط کر دیں گے اور تمہیں غلبہ دیں گے پھر وہ تم تک پہنچ نہیں سکیں گے ہماری نشانیوں کے سبب سےتم اورتمہارے تابعدار غالب رہیں گے
He said, “We will soon strengthen your arm with your brother, and give you both dominance, so they will not be able to harm you; due to Our signs; you both, and those who will follow you, will be victorious.”
Said He, 'We will strengthen thy arm by means of thy brother, and We shall appoint. to you an authority, so that they shall not reach you because of Our signs; you, and whoso follows you, shall be the victors.'
پھر جب موسیٰ ان کے پاس ہماری کھلی نشانیاں لے کر آیا تو کہنے لگے کہ یہ تو محض ایک بنایا ہوا جادو ہے اور ہم نے اسے اپنے پہلے باپ دادا سے سنا ہی نہیں ہے
Therefore when Moosa came to them with Our clear signs they said, “This is nothing but invented magic, and we never heard anything like this among our forefathers.”
So when Moses came to them with Our signs, clear signs, they said, 'This is nothing but a forged sorcery. We never heard of this among our fathers, the ancients.'
اور موسیٰ نے کہا میرا رب خوب جانتاہے جو اس کی طرف سے ہدایت لے کر آیا ہے اور جس کے لیے آخرت کا گھر ہے بے شک ظالم نجات نہیں پائیں گے
And said Moosa, “My Lord well knows him who has brought guidance from Him, and for whom will be the abode the Hereafter; indeed the unjust never attain success.”
But Moses said, 'My Lord knows very well who comes with the guidance from Him, and shall possess the Ultimate Abode; surely the evildoers will not prosper.'
اور فرعون نے کہا اے سردارو! میں نہیں جانتا کہ میرے سوا تمہارا او رکوئی معبود ہے پس اے ہامان! تو میرے لیے گارا پکوا پھر میرے لیے ایک بلند محل بنوا کہ میں موسیٰ کے خدا کو جھانکوں اور بے شک میں اسے جھوٹا سمجھتا ہوں
And Firaun said, “O court members! I do not know of any other God for you, except myself; therefore, O Haman, build a lofty palace for me by baking concrete in order that I may sneak a look at the God of Moosa – and according to me, he is indeed a liar.”
And Pharaoh said, 'Council, I know not that you have any god but me. Kindle me, Haman, a fire upon the clay, and make me a tower, that I may mount up to Moses' god; for I think that he is one of the liars.'
اور اس نے اور اس کے لشکروں نے زمین پر ناحق تکبر کیا اور خیال کیا کہ وہ ہماری طرف لوٹ کر نہیں آئيں گے
And he and his soldiers wrongfully sought greatness in the land, and assumed they would never be brought back to Us.
And he waxed proud in the land, he and his hosts, wrongfully; and they thought they should not be returned to Us.
پھر ہم نے اسے اور اس کے لشکروں کو پکڑ لیا پھر انہیں دریا میں پھینک دیا سو دیکھ لو ظالموں کا کیا انجام ہوا
We therefore seized him and his armies, and hurled them into the sea; therefore see what sort of fate befell the unjust!
Therefore We seized him and his hosts, and cast their into the sea; so behold how was the end of the evildoers!
اور ہم نے انہیں پیشوا بنایا وہ دوزخ کی طرف بلاتے تھے اور قیامت کے دن انہیں مدد نہیں ملے گی
And We made them leaders of the people of hell, inviting towards the fire; and they will not be helped on the Day of Resurrection.
And We appointed them leaders, calling to the Fire; and on the Day of Resurrection they shall not be helped;
اور ہم نے اس دنیا میں ان کے پیچھے لعنت لگا دی اور وہ قیامت کے دن بھی بدحالوں میں ہوں گے
And We set a curse after them in this world; and evil is for them on the Day of Resurrection.
and We pursued them in this world with a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be among the spurned.
اور ہم نے موسیٰ کو پہلی امتوں کے ہلاک کرنے کے بعد کتاب دی تھی جو لوگوں کے لیے بینائی اور ہدایت اور رحمت تھی تاکہ وہ سمجھیں
And We indeed gave Moosa the Book after We had destroyed the former generations, having enlightenment for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, for them to accept advice.
And We gave Moses the Book, after that We had destroyed the former generations, to be examples and a guidance and a mercy, that haply so they might remember.
اور تم غربی جانب نہیں تھے جب ہم نے موسیٰ کی طرف حکم بھیجا اور نہ اس واقعہ کو دیکھنے والے تھے
And you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) were not on the western side of the Mount when We sent the command of Prophethood to Moosa, and you were not present. (Yet you narrate the account very clearly to the Jews and Christians.)
Thou wast not upon the western side when We decreed to Moses the commandment, nor wast thou of those witnessing;
لیکن ہم نے بہت سی نسلیں پیدا کیں پھران پر مدت دراز گزاری اورتو مدین والوں میں نہیں رہتا تھا کہ انہیں ہماری آیتیں سناتا لیکن ہم رسول بھیجتے رہے
However, We created generations and ages passed by upon them; and nor were you dwelling with the people of Madyan reciting Our verses to them – however it is We Who made the Noble Messengers.
but We raised up generations, and long their lives continued. Neither wast thou a dweller among the Midianites, reciting to them Our signs; but We were sending Messengers.
اور تو طور کے کنارے پر نہ تھا جب ہم نے آواز دی لیکن تیرے رب کا یہ انعام ہے تاکہ ان لوگو ں کو ڈرائے جن کے پاس تجھ سے پہلے کوئی ڈرانے والا نہیں آیا تاکہ وہ نصیحت حاصل کریں
And nor were you beside the Mount when We proclaimed – however it is a mercy from your Lord* so that you may warn a nation towards whom no Herald of Warning came before you, in the hope of their heeding advice. (*That He has bestowed knowledge of the hidden to you)
Thou wast not upon the side of the Mount when We called; but for a mercy from thy Lord, that thou mayest warn a people to whom no warner came before thee, and that haply they may remember.
اور اگر یہ بات نہ ہوتی کہ ان کے اپنے ہی اعمال کے سبب سے ان پر مصیبت نازل ہوجائے پھر کہتے اے ہمارے رب! تو نے ہمارے پاس رسول کیوں نہ بھیجا تاکہ ہم تیرے حکموں کی تابعداری کرتے اور ایمان والو ں میں ہوتے
Otherwise, if some disaster befell them because of what their own hands have sent forward they would say, “Our Lord! Why did you not send a Noble Messenger towards us, so we may have followed Your signs and accepted faith?”
Else, did an affliction visit them for that their own hands have forwarded then they might say, 'Our Lord, why didst Thou not send a Messenger to us that we might follow Thy signs and so be among the believers?'
پھر جب ان کے پاس ہماری طرف سے حق آ پہنچا تو کہنے لگے کیوں نہیں دیا گیا جیسا موسی کو دیا گیا تھا کیا انہوں نے اس چیز کا انکار نہیں کیا تھا جو موسیٰ کو اس سے پہلے دی گئی تھی کہنے لگے دونوں جادو گر آپس میں موافق ہیں اور کہا ہم کسی کو بھی نہیں مانتے
So when the Truth* from Us came to them, they said, “Why has he not been given what was given to Moosa?” Had they not disbelieved in what was earlier given to Moosa? They said, “They are two magicians, who support each other”; and said, “We disbelieve in both of them.” (* Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him).
Yet when the truth came to them 'from Ourselves, they said, 'Why has he not been given the like' of that Moses was given?' But they, did they not disbelieve also in what Moses was given aforetime? They said, 'A pair of sorceries mutually supporting each other.' They said, 'We disbelieve both.'
کہہ دو پس الله کے ہاں سے کوئی ایسی کتاب لاؤ جو ان دونوں سے ہدایت میں بڑھ کر ہو کہ میں اس پر چلوں اگر تم سچے ہو
Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “Therefore bring a Book from Allah which is better guiding than these two – I will follow it – if you are truthful.”
Say: 'Bring a Book from God that gives better guidance than these, and follow it, if you speak truly.'
پھر اگر تمہارا کہنا نہ مانیں تو جان لو کہ وہ صرف اپنی خواہشوں کے تابع ہیں اور اس سے بڑھ کر کون گمراہ ہوگا جو الله کی ہدایت چھوڑ کر اپنی خواہشوں پر چلتا ہو بے شک الله ظالم قوم کو ہدایت نہیں کرتا
So if they do not accept your challenge, then know that they only follow their desires; and who is more astray than one who follows his desires away from the guidance of Allah? Indeed Allah does not guide the unjust.
Then if they do not answer thee, know that they are only following their caprices; and who is further astray than he who follows his caprice without guidance from God? Surely God guides not the people of the evildoers.
اور البتہ ہم ان کے پاس ہدایت بھیجتے رہے تاکہ وہ نصیحت حاصل کریں
And We indeed sent down the Word continuously for them, so that they may ponder.
Now We have brought them the Word; haply they may remember.
جن لوگوں کو ہم نے اس سے پہلے کتاب دی ہے وہ اس پر ایمان لاتے ہیں
Those to whom We gave the Book before it, accept faith in it. (Some scholars among Jews / Christians).
Those to whom We gave the Book before this believe in it
اور جب ان پر پڑھا جاتا ہے کہتے ہیں ہم اس پر ایمان لائے ہمارے رب کی طرف سے یہ حق ہے ہم تو اسے پہلے ہی مانتے تھے
And when these verses are recited to them, they say, “We accept faith in it – indeed it is the Truth from our Lord – and indeed we had surrendered even before this.”
and, when it is recited to them, they say, 'We believe in it; surely it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed, even before' it we had surrendered.'
یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جنہیں ان کے صبر کی وجہ سے دگنا بدلہ ملے گا اوربھلائی سے برائی کو دور کرتے ہیں اور جو ہم نےانہیں دیا ہے اس میں سےخرچ کرتے ہیں
They will be given double the reward, the recompense of their patience – and they repel evil with good, and spend part of what We have provided them.
These shall be given their wage twice over for that they patiently endured, and avert evil with good, and expend of that We have provided them.
اورجب بے ہودہ بات سنتے ہیں تو اس سے منہ پھیر لیتے ہیں اور کہتے ہیں ہمارے لے ہمارے اعمال تمہارے لیے تمہارے اعمال تم پر سلام ہو ہم بے سمجھوں کو نہیں چاہتے
And when they hear indecent speech, they ignore it and say, “For us are our deeds and for you are your deeds; peace be to you (good bye); we are not interested in the ignorant.”
When they hear idle talk, they turn away from it and say, 'We have our deeds, and you your deeds. Peace be upon your We desire not the ignorant.'
بے شک تو ہدایت نہیں کر سکتا جسے تو چاہے لیکن الله ہدایت کرتا ہے جسے چاہے اور وہ ہدایت والوں کو خوب جانتا ہے
Indeed it is not such that you can guide whomever you love, but Allah guides whomever He wills; and He well knows the people upon guidance.
Thou guidest not whom thou likest, but God guides whom He wills, and knows very well those that are guided.
اور کہتے ہیں اگر ہم تیرے ساتھ ہدایت پر چلیں تو اپنے ملک سے اچک لیے جائیں کیا ہم نے انہیں حرم میں جگہ نہیں دی جوامن کا مقام ہے جہاں ہر قسم کے میووں کا رزق ہماری طرف سے پہنچایا جاتا ہے لیکن اکثر ان میں سے نہیں جانتے
And they say, “If we follow the guidance along with you, people would snatch us away from our land”; did We not establish them in a safe Sacred Land, towards which are brought fruits of all kinds – the sustenance from Us? But most of them do not know.
They say, 'Should we follow the guidance with thee, we shall be snatched from our land.' Have We not established for them a sanctuary secure, to which are collected the fruits of everything, as a provision from Us? But most of them know not.
اور ہم نے بہت سی بستیوں کو ہلاک کر ڈالا جو اپنے سامان عیش پر نازاں تھے سو یہ ان کے گھر ہیں کہ ان کے بعد آباد نہیں ہوئے مگر بہت کم اورہم ہی وارث ہوئے
And how many towns did We destroy which had stooped to self indulgence! So here lie their dwellings, uninhabited after them except a little; and only We are the Inheritors.
How many a city We have destroyed that flourished in insolent ease! Those are their dwelling-places, undwelt in after them, except a little; Ourselves are the inheritors.
اور تیرا رب بستیوں کو ہلاک نہیں کیا کرتا جب تک ان کے بڑے شہر میں پیغمبر نہ بھیج لے جو انہیں ہماری آیتیں پڑھ کر سنائے اور ہم بستیوں کو ہلاک نہیں کیا کرتے مگر اس حالت میں کہ وہاں کے باشندے ظالم ہوں
And never does your Lord destroy towns until He sends a Noble Messenger to their principal town, reciting Our verses to them; and We never destroy towns unless its people are unjust.
Yet thy Lord never destroyed the cities until He sent in their mother-city a Messenger, to recite Our signs unto them; and We never destroyed the cities, save that their inhabitants were evildoers.
اور جو چیز تمہیں دی گئی ہے وہ دنیا کی زندگی کا فائدہ اور اس کی زینت ہے جو چیز الله کے ہاں ہے وہ بہتر اورباقی رہنے والی ہے کیا تم نہیں سمجھتے
And whatever you have been given, is a usage in the life of this world and its adornment; and that which is with Allah is better and more lasting; so do you not have sense?
Whatever thing you have been given is the enjoyment of the present life and its adornment; and what is with God is better and more enduring.
پھر کیا وہ شخص جس سے ہم نے اچھا وعدہ کیا ہو سو وہ اسے پانے والا بھی ہو اس کے برابر ہے جسے ہم نے دنیا کی زندگی کا فائدہ دیا پھر وہ قیامت کے دن پکڑا ہوا آئے گا
So is he whom We have given a good promise – he will therefore get it – equal to him whom We gave the usage of the life of this world to enjoy, and who will then be brought captive on the Day of Resurrection?
Will you not understand? What, is he to whom We have promised a fair promise, and he receives it, like him to whom We have given the enjoyment of the present life, then he on the Resurrection Day shall be of those that are arraigned?
اور جس دن انہیں پکارے گا پھرکہے گا میرے شریک کہاں ہیں جن کا تم دعوی کرتے تھے
On the day when He will call to them – He will therefore proclaim, “Where are those partners of Mine, whom you had assumed?”
Upon the day when He shall call to them, and He shall say, 'Where now are My associates whom you were asserting?'
جن پر الزام قائم ہو گا وہ کہیں گے اے رب ہمارے! وہ یہی ہیں جنہیں ہم نے بہکایا تھا انہیں ہم نے گمرا کیا تھا جیسا کہ ہم گمراہ تھے ہم تیرے رو برو بیزار ہوتے ہیں یہ ہمیں نہیں پوجتے تھے
Those against whom the Word will have proved true will say, “Our Lord! These are they whom we led astray; we led them astray the way we ourselves went astray; we are unconcerned with them and we incline towards You – they never worshipped us!”
Those against whom the Word is realized they shall say, 'Our Lord, those whom we perverted, we perverted them even as we ourselves erred. We declare our innocence unto Thee; it was not us that they were serving.'
اور کہا جائے گا اپنے شریکو ں کو پکارو پھرانہیں پکاریں گے تو وہ انہیں جواب نہ دیں گے اور عذاب دیکھیں گے کاش یہ لوگ ہدایت پر ہوتے
And it will be said to them, “Call unto your ascribed partners” – so they will call unto them and they will not listen to them, and they will behold the punishment; if only they had obtained guidance!
It shall be said, 'Call you now upon your associates!' And they will call upon them, but they shall not answer them, and they shall see the chastisement-ah, if they had been guided!
اورجس دن انہیں پکارے گا پھر کہے گا تم نے پیغام پہچانے والوں کو کیا جواب دیا تھا
And on the Day when He will call to them and proclaim, “What answer did you give to the Noble Messengers?”
Upon the day when He shall call to them, and He shall say, 'What answer gave you to the Envoys?'
پھر اس دن انہیں کوئی بات نہیں سوجھے گی پھر وہ آپس میں بھی نہیں پوچھ سکیں گے
So on that Day the tidings will be blinded* for them, therefore they will not ask one another. (* They will forget at that moment).
Upon that day the tidings will be darkened for them, nor will they ask each other.
پھر جس نے توبہ کی اور ایمان لایا اور نیک عمل کیے سو امید ہے کہ وہ نجات پانے والوں میں سے ہوگا
So whoever repented and accepted faith and did good deeds, so it is likely that he will be among the successful.
But as for him who repents, and believes, and works righteousness, haply he shall be among the prosperers.
اور تیرا رب جو چاہے پیدا کرتا ہے اور جسے چاہے پسند کرے انہیں کوئی اختیار نہیں ہے الله ان کے شرک سے پاک اور برتر ہے
And your Lord creates whatever He wills, and chooses; they do not have any power to choose; Purity and Supremacy are to Allah above their ascribing partners (to Him).
Thy Lord creates whatsoever He will and He chooses; they have not the choice. Glory be to God! High be He exalted above that they associate!
اورتیرا رب جانتا ہے جو ان کے سینوں میں پوشیدہ ہے اور جو ظاہر کرتے ہیں
And your Lord knows what is hidden in their breasts, and what they disclose.
And thy Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they publish.
اور وہی الله ہے اس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں دنیا اور آخرت میں اسی کی تعریف ہے اور اسی کی حکومت ہے اورتم اسی کی طرف لوٹائے جاؤ گے
And He is Allah – there is no God except Him; only His is the praise in this world and in the Hereafter; and only His is the command, and it is towards Him that you will be returned.
And He is God; there is no god but He. His is the praise in the former as in the latter; His too is the Judgment, and unto Him you shall be returned.
کہہ دو بھلا یہ تو بتاؤ اگر الله تم پر ہمیشہ کے لیے قیامت تک رات ہی رہنے دے تو الله کے سوا کون سا معبود ہے جو تمہارے لیے روشنی لائے کیا تم سنتے نہیں ہو
Proclaim, “What is your opinion – if Allah makes it night continuously for you till the Day of Resurrection then, other than Allah, who is the God who could bring you light? So do you not heed?”
Say: 'What think you? If God should make the night unceasing over you, until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than God shall bring you illumination? Will you not hear?'
کہہ دو بھلا یہ تو بتاؤ اگر الله تم پر ہمیشہ کے لیے قیامت تک دن ہی رہنے دے تو الله کے سوا کون سا معبود ہے جو تمہارے لیے رات لائے جس میں آرام پاؤ کیا تم دیکھتے نہیں ہو
Say, “What is your opinion – if Allah makes it day continuously for you till the Day of Resurrection then, other than Allah, who is the God who could bring you night for you to rest during it? So do you not perceive?”
Say: 'What think you? If God should make the day unceasing over you, until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than God shall bring you night to repose in? Will you not see?
اوراس نے اپنی رحمت سے تمہارے لیے رات اور دن کو بنایا تاکہ تم اس میں آرام پاؤ اور اپنے رب کا فضل تلاش کرو اور تاکہ تم شکر کرو
And with His mercy He made the night and day for you, so that you may rest during the night and seek His munificence during the day, and for you to be thankful.
Of His mercy He has appointed for you night and day, for you to repose in and seek after His bounty, that haply you will be thankful.'
اور جس دن انہیں پکارے گا پھر کہے گا وہ کہاں ہیں جنہیں تم میرا شریک سمجھتے تھے
On the day when He will call to them – He will therefore proclaim, “Where are those partners of Mine, whom you had assumed?”
Upon the day when He shall call. to them, and He shall say, 'Where now are My associates whom you were asserting?'
اور ہم ہر امت میں سے ایک گواہ نکال کر لائیں گے پھر کہیں گے کہ اپنی دلیل پیش کرو تب جان لیں گے کہ سچی بات الله ہی کی تھی اور جو جھوٹ بنایا کرتے تھے ان سے جاتا رہے گا
And We shall proclaim taking out a witness from each group, “Bring your proof” – so they will realise that the Truth (Right) is for Allah, and they will lose all that they had fabricated.
And We shall draw out from every nation a witness, and say, 'Produce your proof!' Then will they know that Truth is God's, and there shall go astray from them that they were forging.
بے شک قارون موسیٰ کی قوم میں سے تھا پھر ان پر اکڑنے لگا اور ہم نے اسے اتنے خزانے دیے تھے کہ اسکی کنجیاں ایک طاقت ور جماعت کو اٹھانی مشکل ہوتیں جب اس سے اس کی قوم نے کہا اِترا مت بے شک الله اِترانے والوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا
Indeed Qaroon was from the people of Moosa – he then oppressed them; and We gave him so many treasures that their keys were a heavy burden for a strong group; when his people said to him, “Do not show off – indeed Allah does not like the boastful.”
Now Korah was of the people of Moses; he became insolent to them, for We had given him treasures such that the very keys of them were too heavy a burden for a company of men endowed with strength. When his people said to him, 'Do not exult; God loves not those that exult;
اور جو کچھ تجھے الله نے دیا ہے اس سے آخرت کا گھر حاصل کر اور اپنا حصہ دنیا میں سے نہ بھول اور بھلائی کر جس طرح الله نے تیرے ساتھ بھلائی کی ہے اور ملک میں فساد کا خواہاں نہ ہو بے شک الله فساد کرنے والوں کو پسندنہیں کرتا
“And seek the abode of the Hereafter with the wealth that Allah has given you, and do not forget your part in this world, and do favours (to others) the way Allah has favoured you, and do not seek to cause turmoil in the earth; indeed Allah does not like the mischievous.”
but seek, amidst that which God has given thee, the Last Abode, and forget not thy portion of the present world; and do good, as God has been good to thee.' And seek not to work corruption in the earth; surely God loves not the workers of corruption.'
کہا یہ تو مجھے ایک ہنر سے ملا ہے جو میرے پاس ہے کیا اسے معلوم نہیں کہ الله نے اس سے پہلے بہت سی امتیں جو اس سے قوت میں بڑھ کر اور جمیعت میں زیادہ تھیں ہلاک کر ڈالی ہیں اور گناہگاروں سے ان کے گناہوں کے بارے میں پوچھا نہیں جائے گا
He said, “I got this only due to a knowledge I have”; and does he not know that before him Allah destroyed the generations who were stronger than him and more in number? And there is no questioning of the guilty regarding their sins.
He said, 'What I have been given is only because of a knowledge that is in me.' What, did he not know that God bad destroyed before him generations of men stronger than he ill might, and more numerous in multitude? And yet the sinners shall not be questioned concerning their sins.
اپنی قوم کے سامنے اپنے ٹھاٹھ سے نکلا جو لوگ دنیا کی زندگی کے طالب تھے کہنے لگے اے کاش ہمارے لیے بھی ویسا ہوتا جیسا کہ قارون کو دیا گیا ہے بے شک وہ بڑے نصیب والا ہے
He therefore came before his people in his pomp; said those who desired the worldly life, “If only we were to get what Qaroon has been given – he is indeed very fortunate.”
So he went forth unto his people in his adornment. Those who desired the present life said, 'Would that we possessed the like of that Korah has been given! Surely he is a man of mighty fortune.
اور علم والوں نے کہا تم پر افسوس ہے الله کا ثواب بہتر ہے اس کے لیے جو ایمان لایا اور نیک کام کیا مگر صبر کرنے والوں سوا نہیں ملا کرتا
And said those who were given the knowledge, “Woe to you – the reward of Allah is better for one who accepts faith and does good deeds; and only those who are patient will receive it.”
But those to whom knowledge had been given said, 'Woe upon you! The reward of God is better for him who believes, and works righteousness; and none shall receive it except the steadfast.'
پھر ہم نے اسے اور اس کے گھر کو زمین میں دھنسا دیا پھر اس کی ایسی کوئی جماعت نہ تھی جو اسے الله سے بچا لیتی اور نہ وہ خود بچ سکا
We therefore buried him and his house into the earth; so he had no group to help save him from Allah; nor could he take revenge.
So We made the earth to swallow him and his dwelling and there was no host to help him, apart from God, and he was helpless;
اور وہ لوگ جو کل اس کے مرتبہ کی تمنا کرتے تھے آج صبح کو کہنے لگے کہ ہائے شامت! الله اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کے لیے چاہتا ہے روزی کشادہ کر دیتا ہے اور تنگ کر دیتا ہے اگر ہم پر الله کا احسان نہ ہوتا تو ہمیں بھی دھنسا دیتا ہائے! کافر نجات نہیں پا سکتے
And those who had the day before desired his status, said in the morning, “It is strange – Allah expands the sustenance for whomever He wills among His bondmen, and restricts it; if Allah had not been gracious to us He would have buried us too; strangely, the disbelievers do not prosper.”
and in the morning those who had longed to be in his place the day before were saying, 'Ah, God outspreads and straitens His provision to whomsoever He will of His servants. Had God not been gracious to us, He would have made us to be swallowed too. Ah, the unbelievers do not prosper,
یہ آخرت کا گھر ہم انہیں کو دیتے ہیں جو ملک میں ظلم اور فساد کا ارادہ نہیں رکھتے اور نیک انجام تو پرہیز گاروں ہی کا ہے
This abode of the Hereafter – We make it for those who do not wish greatness in the land nor turmoil; and the Hereafter is only for the pious.
That is the Last Abode; We appoint it for those who desire not exorbitance in the earth, nor corruption. The issue ultimate is to the godfearing.
جو بھلائی لے کر آیا اسے اس سے بہتر ملے گا اور جو برائی لے کر آیا پس برائیاں کرنے والوں کو وہی سزا ملے گی جو کچھ وہ کرتے تھے
Whoever brings virtue, for him is better than it; and whoever brings evil – so those who commit evil will not be repaid except to the extent of their deeds.
Whoso brings a good deed shall have better than it; and whoso brings an evil deed those who have done evil deeds shall only be recompensed for that they were doing.
جس نے تم پر قرآن فرض کیا وہ تمہیں لوٹنے کی جگہ پھیر لائے گا کہہ دو میرا رب خوب جانتا ہے کہ ہدایت کون لے کر آیا ہے اور کون صریح گمراہی میں پڑا ہواہے
Indeed He Who has ordained the Qur’an upon you, will surely bring you back to where you wish; proclaim, “My Lord well knows him who came with guidance, and him who is in open error.”
He who imposed 'the Recitation upon thee. shall surely restore thee to a place of homing. Say: 'My Lord' knows very well who comes with guidance, and who is in manifest error.
اور تمہیں امید نہ تھی کہ تم پر کتاب اتاری جائے گی مگر تمہارے رب کی مہربانی ہوئی پھر تم کافروں کی طرفداری نہ کرنا
And you held no expectations of the Book being sent down upon you, except that it is a mercy from your Lord – therefore never support the disbelievers. (You did not crave for it but trusted in the mercy of your Lord).
Thou didst not hope that the Book should be cast unto thee, except it be as a mercy from thy Lord; so be thou not a partisan of the unbelievers.
اور وہ تمہیں الله کی آیتوں سے بعد اس کے کہ تم پر نازل ہو چکی ہیں روک نہ دیں اوراپنے رب کی طرف بلا اور مشرکوں میں ہر گز شامل نہ ہو
And never may they prevent you from the verses of Allah after they have been sent down upon you, and call towards your Lord, and never be among those who ascribe partners (to Him).
Let them not bar thee from the signs of God, after that they have been sent down to thee. And call upon thy Lord, and be thou' not of the idolaters.
اور الله کے ساتھ اور کسی معبود کو نہ پکار اس کے سوا اور کوئی معبود نہیں اس کی ذات کے سوا ہر چیز فنا ہونے والی ہے اسی کا حکم ہے اور اسی کی طرف تم لوٹ کر جاؤ گے
And do not worship any other God along with Allah; there is no God except Him; all things are destructible except His Entity; only His is the command, and it is towards Him that you will be returned.
And call not upon another god with God; there is no god but He. All things perish, except His Face. His is the Judgment, and unto Him you shall be returned.
