Surah 10

010 surah

الٓر​ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡكِتٰبِ الۡحَكِيۡمِ‏ ١

Alif. Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the Book overflowing with wisdom.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Alif laam Raa, Yeh us kitab ki aayat hain jo hikmat o danish se labrez hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا اَنۡ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ اَنۡ اَنۡذِرِ النَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَنَّ لَهُمۡ قَدَمَ صِدۡقٍ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ​ؕ قَالَ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ‏ ٢

Does it seem strange to people that We should have revealed to a man from among themselves, directing him to warn the people (who lie engrossed in heedlessness); and to give good news to the believers that they shall enjoy true honour and an exalted status with their Lord? (Is this so strange that) the deniers of the truth should say: 'This man is indeed an evident sorcerer'?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya logon ke liye yeh ek ajeeb baat ho gayi hai ke humne khud unhi mein se ek aadmi ko ishara kiya ke (gaflat mein padey huey) logon ko chauka de aur jo maan lein unko khush khabri de de ke unke liye unke Rubb ke paas sachhi izzat o sarfarazi hai? (Kya yahi woh baat hai jispar) munkireen ne kaha ke yeh shaks to khula jaadugar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ فِىۡ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسۡتَوٰى عَلَى الۡعَرۡشِ​ يُدَبِّرُ الۡاَمۡرَ​ؕ مَا مِنۡ شَفِيۡعٍ اِلَّا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ اِذۡنِهٖ​ ؕ ذٰ لِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمۡ فَاعۡبُدُوۡهُ​ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ٣

Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne (of His Dominion), governing all affairs of the universe. None may intercede with Him except after obtaining His leave. Such is Allah, your Lord; do therefore serve Him. Will you not take heed?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke tumahra Rubb wahi khuda hai jisne aasmano aur zameen ko chey (six) dino mein paida kiya, phir takht e hukumat par jalwa-gar hua aur qayinat ka intezaam chala raha hai. Koi shafaat (sifarish) karne wala nahin illa yeh ke iski ijazat ke baad shafaat karey. Yahi Allah tumhara Rubb hai lihaza tum usi ki ibadat karo. Phir kya tum hosh mein na aaogey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِلَيۡهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيۡعًا ​ؕ وَعۡدَ اللّٰهِ حَقًّا​ ؕ اِنَّهٗ يَـبۡدَؤُا الۡخَـلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيۡدُهٗ لِيَجۡزِىَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ بِالۡقِسۡطِ​ؕ وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَهُمۡ شَرَابٌ مِّنۡ حَمِيۡمٍ وَّعَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَكۡفُرُوۡنَ‏ ٤

To Him is your return. This is Allah's promise that will certainly come true. Surely it is He Who brings about the creation of all and He will repeat it so that He may justly reward those who believe and do righteous deeds; and that those who disbelieve may have a draught of boiling water and suffer a painful chastisement for their denying the truth.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Usi ki taraf tum sabko palat kar jana hai. Yeh Allah ka pakka wada hai. Beshak paidaish ki ibteda wahi karta hai, phir wahi dobara paida karega, taa-ke jo log iman laye aur jinhon ne neik aamaal kiye unko poorey insaf ke saath jaza de, aur jinhon ne kufr ka tareeqa ikhtiyar kiya woh khaulta(boiling) hua pani piyein aur dardnaak saza bhugtein us inkar e haqq ke padash mein jo woh karte rahey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

هُوَ الَّذِىۡ جَعَلَ الشَّمۡسَ ضِيَآءً وَّالۡقَمَرَ نُوۡرًا وَّقَدَّرَهٗ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعۡلَمُوۡا عَدَدَ السِّنِيۡنَ وَالۡحِسَابَ​ؕ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّ​ۚ يُفَصِّلُ الۡاٰيٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ٥

He it is Who gave the sun radiance and the moon light, and determined the stages (for the waxing and waning of the moon) that you may learn the calculation of years and the reckoning of time. Allah has created all this with a rightful purpose (rather than out of play). He expounds His signs for the people who know.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Wahi hai jisne Suraj ko ujyala banaya aur chand ko chamak di aur chand ke ghatne badhne ki manzilein theek theek muqarrar kardi taa-ke tum ussey barason (years) aur tareekhon ke hisaab maloom karo. Allah ne yeh sab kuch (khel ke taur par nahin balke) ba-maqsad hi banaya hai. Woh apni nishaniyoun ko khol khol kar pesh kar raha hai un logon ke liye jo ilm rakhte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ فِى اخۡتِلَافِ الَّيۡلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّـقَوۡمٍ يَّتَّقُوۡنَ‏ ٦

Surely in the alternation of the night and the day and in all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth there are signs for the people who seek to avoid (error of outlook and conduct).

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yaqeenan raat aur din ke ulat pher mein aur har us cheez mein jo Allah ne zameen aur aasmano mein paida ki hai, nishaniyan hain un logon ke liye jo (galat beeni o galat rawi se) bachna chahte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يَرۡجُوۡنَ لِقَآءَنَا وَرَضُوۡا بِالۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا وَاطۡمَاَنُّوۡا بِهَا وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا غٰفِلُوۡنَۙ‏ ٧

Surely those who do not expect to meet Us, who are gratified with the life of the world and content with it, and are heedless of Our signs,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke jo log humse milne ki tawaqqu (umeed) nahin rakhte aur duniya ki zindagi hi par razi aur mutmaeen ho gaye hain, aur jo log hamari nishaniyon se gafil hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ مَاۡوٰٮهُمُ النَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَكۡسِبُوۡنَ‏ ٨

their abode shall be the Fire in return for their misdeeds,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unka aakhri thikana jahannum hoga un buraiyon ki padash mein jinka iktisab woh (apne is galat aqeede aur galat tarz-e-amal ki wajah se) karte rahey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ يَهۡدِيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ بِاِيۡمَانِهِمۡ​ۚ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهِمُ الۡاَنۡهٰرُ فِىۡ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيۡمِ‏  ٩

Surely those who believe (in the truths revealed in the Book) and do righteous deeds their Lord will guide them aright because of their faith. Rivers shall flow beneath them in the Gardens of Bliss.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yeh bhi haeeqat hai ke jo log iman laye (yani jinhon ne un sadaqaton ko qabool karliya jo is kitab mein pesh ki gayi hain) aur neik amal karte rahey unhein unka Rubb unke iman ki wajah se seedhi raah chalayega. Niyamat bhari jannaton mein unke nichey nehrein bahengi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

دَعۡوٰٮهُمۡ فِيۡهَا سُبۡحٰنَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَ تَحِيَّـتُهُمۡ فِيۡهَا سَلٰمٌ​ۚ وَاٰخِرُ دَعۡوٰٮهُمۡ اَنِ الۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ١٠

Their cry in it will be: 'Glory be to You, Our Lord!', and their greeting: 'Peace!'; and their cry will always end with: 'All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the universe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Wahan unki sada(pukar/awaz) yeh hogi ke “paak hai tu aey khuda”, unki dua yeh hogi ke “salamati ho: aur unki har baat ka khatma is par hoga ke “saari tareef Allah Rabbul Aalameen hi ke liye hai”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَوۡ يُعَجِّلُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ الشَّرَّ اسۡتِعۡجَالَهُمۡ بِالۡخَيۡرِ لَـقُضِىَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ اَجَلُهُمۡ​ؕ فَنَذَرُ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يَرۡجُوۡنَ لِقَآءَنَا فِىۡ طُغۡيَانِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُوۡنَ‏ ١١

Were Allah to hasten to bring upon men (the consequence of) evil in the way men hasten in seeking the wealth of this world, their term would have long since expired. (But that is not Our way.) So We leave alone those who do not expect to meet Us that they may blindly stumble in their transgression.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar kahin Allah logon ke saath bura maamla karne mein bhi itni hi jaldi karta jitni woh duniya ki bhalayi maangne mein jaldi karte hain to unki mohlat e amal kabhi ki khatam kardi gayi hoti, (magar hamara yeh tareeqa nahin hai). Is liye hum un logon ko jo humse milne ki tawaqqu nahin rakhte unki sarkashi mein bhatakne ke liye chooth de detay hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِذَا مَسَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ الضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۡۢبِهٖۤ اَوۡ قَاعِدًا اَوۡ قَآٮِٕمًا ۚ فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُ ضُرَّهٗ مَرَّ كَاَنۡ لَّمۡ يَدۡعُنَاۤ اِلٰى ضُرٍّ مَّسَّهٗ​ؕ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ١٢

And (such is man that) when an affliction befalls him, he cries out to Us, reclining and sitting and standing. But no sooner than We have removed his affliction, he passes on as though he had never cried out to Us to remove his affliction. Thus it is that the misdeeds of the transgressors are made fair-seeming to them.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insan ka haal yeh hai ke jab uspar koi sakht waqt aata hai to khade aur baithey aur letay (lying) humko pukarta hai, magar jab hum uski museebat taal dete hain to aisa chal naikalta hai ke goya usne kabhi apne kisi buray waqt par humko pukara hi na tha. Is tarah hadd se guzar janey walon ke liye unke kartoot khushnuma bana diye gaye hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَقَدۡ اَهۡلَـكۡنَا الۡـقُرُوۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوۡا ​ ۙ وَجَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُمۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ وَمَا كَانُوۡا لِيُـؤۡمِنُوۡا ​ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡقَوۡمَ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ‏ ١٣

Surely We destroyed the nations (which had risen to heights of glory in their times) before you when they indulged in wrong-doing and refused to believe even when their Messengers brought clear signs to them. Thus do We recompense the people who are guilty.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Logon, Tumse pehle ki qaumon ko ( jo apne apne zamane mein bar sar e urooj thi) humne halaak kardiya jab unhon ne zulm ki rawish ikhtiyar ki aur unke Rasool unke paas khuli khuli nishaniyan lekar aaye aur unhon ne iman laa kar hi na diya. Is tarah hum mujreemon ko unke jarayim (crime) ka badla diya karte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنٰكُمۡ خَلٰٓٮِٕفَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لِنَـنۡظُرَ كَيۡفَ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ١٤

Now We have appointed you as their successors in the earth to see how you act.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ab unke baad humne tumko zameen mein unki jagah di hai taa-ke dekhein tum kaise amal karte ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِذَا تُتۡلٰى عَلَيۡهِمۡ اٰيَاتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ​ ۙ قَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يَرۡجُوۡنَ لِقَآءَنَا ائۡتِ بِقُرۡاٰنٍ غَيۡرِ هٰذَاۤ اَوۡ بَدِّلۡهُ​ ؕ قُلۡ مَا يَكُوۡنُ لِىۡۤ اَنۡ اُبَدِّلَهٗ مِنۡ تِلۡقَآئِ نَـفۡسِىۡ ۚ اِنۡ اَتَّبِعُ اِلَّا مَا يُوۡحٰۤى اِلَىَّ​ ۚ اِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ اِنۡ عَصَيۡتُ رَبِّىۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيۡمٍ‏ ١٥

And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not expect to meet Us say: 'Bring us a Qur'an other than this one, or at least make changes in it. Tell them (O Muhammad): 'It is not for me to change it of my accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Were I to disobey my Lord, I fear the chastisement of an Awesome Day.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab unhein hamari saaf saaf baatein sunayi jati hain to woh log jo humse milne ki tawaqqu nahin rakhte, kehte hain ke “iske bajaye koi aur Quran lao ya is mein kuch tarmeem (changes) karo. (Aey Muhammad), insey kaho “ mera yeh kaam nahin hai ke apni taraf se is mein koi taghayyur o tabaddul karloon. Main to bas us wahee ka pairo(follower) hoon jo mere paas bheji jati hai. Agar main apne Rubb ki nafarmani karoon to mujhey ek baday haulnaak din ke azaab ka darr hai”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلْ لَّوۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَا تَلَوۡتُهٗ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكُمۡ بِهٖ ​ۖ  فَقَدۡ لَبِثۡتُ فِيۡكُمۡ عُمُرًا مِّنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ١٦

Tell them: 'Had Allah so willed, I would not have recited the Qur'an to you, nor would Allah have informed you of it. I have spent a lifetime among you before this. Do you, then, not use your reason?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur kaho “agar Allah ki mashiyat na hoti to main yeh Quran tumhein kabhi na sunata aur Allah tumhein iski khabar tak na deta. Aakhir issey pehle main ek umar tumhare darmiyan guzaar chuka hoon. Kya tum aqal se kaam nahin letey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَـرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيٰتِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفۡلِحُ الۡمُجۡرِمُوۡنَ‏ ١٧

Who, then, is a greater wrong-doer than he who forges a lie against Allah or rejects His signs as false? Surely the guilty shall not prosper.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir ussey badhkar zalim aur kaun hoga jo ek jhooti baat ghadh kar Allah ki taraf mansooq karey ya Allah ki waqai aayat ko jhoot qarar de? Yaqeenan mujreem kabhi falaah nahin paa sakte”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَيَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا يَنۡفَعُهُمۡ وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ شُفَعَآؤُنَا عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ​ؕ قُلۡ اَتُـنَـبِّـــُٔوۡنَ اللّٰهَ بِمَا لَا يَعۡلَمُ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ​ؕ سُبۡحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُوۡنَ‏ ١٨

They worship, beside Allah, those who can neither harm nor profit them, saying; 'These are our intercessors with Allah.' Tell them (O Muhammad): 'Do you inform Allah of something regarding whose existence in the heavens or on the earth He has no knowledge? Holy is He and He is exalted far above what they associate with Him in His divinity'.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh log Allah ke siwa unki parastish kar rahey hain jo inko na nuksaan pahuncha sakte hain na nafaa (faiyda), aur kehte yeh hain ke yeh Allah ke haan hamare sifarishi hain. (Aey Muhammad), insey kaho “kya tum Allah ko us baat ki khabar dete ho jisey woh na aasmano mein jaanta hai na zameen mein?” Paak hai woh aur baala o bartar hai us shirk se jo yeh log karte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ اِلَّاۤ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاخۡتَلَفُوۡا​ ؕ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتۡ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ لَـقُضِىَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ فِيۡمَا فِيۡهِ يَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَ‏  ١٩

Once all men were but a single community; then they disagreed (and formulated different beliefs and rites). Had it not been that your Lord had already so ordained, a decisive judgement would have been made regarding their disagreements.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ibtedaan (initially) sarey Insaan ek hi ummat thay, baad mein unhon ne mukhtalif aqeede aur maslak bana liye. Aur agar tere Rubb ki taraf se pehle hi ek baat tai na karli gayi hoti to jis cheez mein woh baham ikhtilaf kar rahey hain uska faisla kar diya jata

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

​وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ لَوۡلَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ اٰيَةٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖ​ ۚ فَقُلۡ اِنَّمَا الۡغَيۡبُ لِلّٰهِ فَانْتَظِرُوۡا​ ۚ اِنِّىۡ مَعَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡمُنۡتَظِرِيۡنَ‏  ٢٠

They say: 'Why was a sign not sent down upon the prophet from His Lord? Tell (such people): 'The realm of the Unseen belongs to Allah. Wait, then; I shall wait along with you.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yeh jo woh kehte hain ke is Nabi par uske Rubb ki taraf se koi nishani kyun na utari gayi, to unse kaho “gaib ka malik o mukhtar to Allah hi hai. Accha , intezar karo , main bhi tumhare saath intezar karta hoon”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِذَاۤ اَذَقۡنَا النَّاسَ رَحۡمَةً مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُمۡ اِذَا لَهُمۡ مَّكۡرٌ فِىۡۤ اٰيَاتِنَا​ ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَسۡرَعُ مَكۡرًا​ ؕ اِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكۡتُبُوۡنَ مَا تَمۡكُرُوۡنَ‏ ٢١

No sooner than We bestow mercy on a people after hardship has hit them than they begin to scheme against Our signs. Tell them: 'Allah is swifter in scheming. Our angels are recording all your intriguing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Logon ka haal yeh hai ke museebat ke baad jab hum unko rehmat ka maza chakhate hain to fawran hi woh hamari nishaniyon ke mamle mein chaal baaziyan shuru kardete hain. Insey kaho “Allah apni chaal mein tumse zyada teiz hai, uske Farishte tumhari sab makkariyon ko kalam-bandh (recording) kar rahey hain”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

هُوَ الَّذِىۡ يُسَيِّرُكُمۡ فِى الۡبَرِّ وَالۡبَحۡرِ​ؕ حَتّٰۤى اِذَا كُنۡتُمۡ فِى الۡفُلۡكِ ۚ وَ جَرَيۡنَ بِهِمۡ بِرِيۡحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَّفَرِحُوۡا بِهَا جَآءَتۡهَا رِيۡحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَّجَآءَهُمُ الۡمَوۡجُ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَّظَنُّوۡۤا اَنَّهُمۡ اُحِيۡطَ بِهِمۡ​ ۙ دَعَوُا اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصِيۡنَ لَـهُ الدِّيۡنَۙ  لَٮِٕنۡ اَنۡجَيۡتَـنَا مِنۡ هٰذِهٖ لَنَكُوۡنَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرِيۡنَ‏ ٢٢

He it is Who enables you to journey through the land and the sea. And so it happens that when you have boarded the ships and they set sail with a favourable wind, and the passengers rejoice at the pleasant voyage, then suddenly a fierce gale appears, and wave upon wave surges upon them from every side, and people believe that they are surrounded from all directions, and all of them cry out to Allah in full sincerity of faith: 'If You deliver us from this we shall surely be thankful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh Allah hi hai jo tumko khushki (land) aur tari (sea) mein chalata hai. Chunanche jab tum kashtiyon mein sawar hokar baad-e-mawafiq par farhan-o-shadan safar kar rahey hotey ho aur phir yakayak baad-e-mukhalif ka zoar hota hai (fierce gale appears) aur har taraf se maujon (waves) ke thapede lagte hain aur musafir samajh lete hain ke toofan mein ghir gaye, us waqt sab apne deen ko Allah hi ke liye khalis karke ussey duaein maangte hain ke “agar tu nay humko is bala se najat de di to hum shukar guzar banday banenge”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَلَمَّاۤ اَنۡجٰٮهُمۡ اِذَا هُمۡ يَبۡغُوۡنَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ الۡحَـقِّ​ ؕ يٰۤـاَ يُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّمَا بَغۡيُكُمۡ عَلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ​ۙ مَّتَاعَ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا​ ثُمَّ اِلَـيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَنُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏  ٢٣

But no sooner than He delivers them than they go about committing excesses on the earth, acting unjustly. Men ! The excesses you commit will be of harm only to yourselves, (Enjoy, if you will) the fleeting pleasure of this world; in me end you shall all return to Us, and then We shall tell you what you did.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Magar jab woh unko bacha leta hai to phir wahi log haqq se munharif hokar zameen mein bagawat karne lagte hain. Logon, tumhari yeh bagawat ulti tumhare hi khilaf padh rahi hai, duniya ke chandh roza mazey hain (loot lo), phir hamari taraf tumhein palat kar aana hai, us waqt hum tumhein bata denge ke tum kya kuch karte rahey ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا كَمَآءٍ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ فَاخۡتَلَطَ بِهٖ نَبَاتُ الۡاَرۡضِ مِمَّا يَاۡكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالۡاَنۡعَامُؕ حَتّٰۤى اِذَاۤ اَخَذَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ زُخۡرُفَهَا وَازَّيَّنَتۡ وَظَنَّ اَهۡلُهَاۤ اَنَّهُمۡ قٰدِرُوۡنَ عَلَيۡهَاۤ ۙ اَتٰٮهَاۤ اَمۡرُنَا لَيۡلًا اَوۡ نَهَارًا فَجَعَلۡنٰهَا حَصِيۡدًا كَاَنۡ لَّمۡ تَغۡنَ بِالۡاَمۡسِ​ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نُـفَصِّلُ الۡاٰيٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ٢٤

The example of the life of this world (which has enamoured you into becoming heedless to Our signs) is that of water that We sent down from the heaven which causes the vegetation of the earth, which sustains men and cattle, to grow luxuriantly. But when the earth took on its golden raiment and became well adorned and the owners believed that they had full control over their lands Our command came upon them by night or by day, and We convened it into a stubble, as though it had not blossomed yesterday. Thus do We expound the signs for a people who reflect.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Duniya ki yeh zindagi (jis ke nashey mein mast hokar tum hamari nishaniyoun se gaflat barat rahey ho) iski misaal aisi hai jaise aasman se humne apne pani barsaya to zameen ki paidawar , jisey aadmi aur jaanwar sab khate hain, khoob ghani ho gayi, phir ain us waqt jabke zameen apni bahaar par thi aur khetiyan bani sanwari khadi thi aur unke malik yeh samajh rahey thay ke ab hum insey faiyda uthane par qadir hain, yakayak raat ko ya din ko hamara hukum aa gaya aur humne usey aisa ghaarat karke rakh diya ke goya kal wahan kuch tha hi nahin. Is tarah hum nishaniyan khol khol kar pesh karte hain un logon ke liye jo sochne samajhe waley hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاللّٰهُ يَدۡعُوۡۤا اِلٰى دَارِ السَّلٰمِؕ وَيَهۡدِىۡ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ‏ ٢٥

(You are being lured by this ephemeral world) although Allah calls you to the abode of peace and guides whomsoever He wills to a straightway.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Tum is na payadar zindagi ke fareb mein mubtila ho rahey ho) aur Allah tumhein daar-us-salaam ki taraf dawat de raha hai, (hidayat uske ikhtiyar mein hai) jisko woh chahta hai seedha rasta dikha deta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لِلَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوا الۡحُسۡنٰى وَزِيَادَةٌ ؕ وَلَا يَرۡهَقُ وُجُوۡهَهُمۡ قَتَرٌ وَّلَا ذِلَّـةٌ ​ ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَـنَّةِ​ ۚ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏  ٢٦

For those who do good there is good reward and more besides; neither gloom nor humiliation shall cover their faces. They are the people of the Garden and in it they shall abide.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jin logon ne bhalayi ka tareeqa ikhtiyar kiya unke liye bhalayi hai aur mazeed fazal, unke chehron par ru-siyahi aur zillat na chayegi (neither gloom nor humiliation). Woh jannat ke mustahiq hain jahan woh hamesha rahenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَسَبُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةٍ ۢ بِمِثۡلِهَا ۙ وَتَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّـةٌ  ؕ مَا لَهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمٍ​​ ۚ كَاَنَّمَاۤ اُغۡشِيَتۡ وُجُوۡهُهُمۡ قِطَعًا مِّنَ الَّيۡلِ مُظۡلِمًا ​ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ​ ؕ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ‏ ٢٧

Those who do evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is its like, and humiliation shall spread over them and there will be none to protect them from Allah. Darkness will cover their faces as though they were veiled with the dark blackness of night. These are the people of the Fire and in it they shall abide.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur jin logon ne buraiyan kamayi unki burayi jaisi hai waisa hi woh badla payenge, zillat unpar musallat hogi, koi Allah se unko bachane wala na hoga, unke chehron par aisi tareeki chayi hui hogi jaise raat ke siyah(dark) purdey unpar padey huey hon. Woh dozakh ke mustahiq hain jahan woh hamesha rahenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَيَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُهُمۡ جَمِيۡعًا ثُمَّ نَقُوۡلُ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اَشۡرَكُوۡا مَكَانَكُمۡ اَنۡتُمۡ وَشُرَكَآؤُكُمۡ​ۚ فَزَيَّلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمۡ​ وَقَالَ شُرَكَآؤُهُمۡ مَّا كُنۡتُمۡ اِيَّانَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ‏ ٢٨

And the Day when We shall muster them all together, We shall say to those who associated others with Allah in His divinity: 'Keep to your places - you and those whom you associated with Allah.' Then We shall remove the veil of foreignness separating them. Those whom they had associated with Allah will say. 'It was not us that you worshipped.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jis roz hum in sab ko ek saath(apni adalat mein) ikattha karenge, phir un logon se jinhon ne shirk kiya hai kahenge ke thehar jao tum bhi aur tumhare banaye huey shareek bhi. Phir hum unke darmiyan se ajnabiyat ka purda hata denge aur unke shareek kahenge ke “tum hamari ibadat to nahin karte thay

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيۡدًۢا بَيۡنَـنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنَّا عَنۡ عِبَادَتِكُمۡ لَغٰفِلِيۡنَ‏ ٢٩

Allah's witness suffices between you and us that (even if you worshipped us) we were totally unaware of your worshipping us.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Hamare aur tumhare darmiyan Allah ki gawahi kafi hai ke (tum agar hamari ibadat karte bhi thay to) hum tumhari us ibadat se bilkul be-khabar thay.”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

هُنَالِكَ تَبۡلُوۡا كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّاۤ اَسۡلَفَتۡ​ وَرُدُّوۡۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَوۡلٰٮهُمُ الۡحَـقِّ​ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ مَّا كَانُوۡا يَفۡتَرُوۡنَ‏ ٣٠

Thereupon everyone shall taste the recompense of his past deeds. All shall be sent back to Allah, their true Lord, and then all the falsehoods they had fabricated will have forsaken them.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Us waqt har shaks apne kiya ka maza chakh lega, sab apne haqiqi malik ki taraf pher diye jayenge aur woh sarey jhoot jo unhon ne ghadh rakkhey thay ghum ho jayenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ مَنۡ يَّرۡزُقُكُمۡ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ اَمَّنۡ يَّمۡلِكُ السَّمۡعَ وَالۡاَبۡصَارَ وَ مَنۡ يُّخۡرِجُ الۡحَـىَّ مِنَ الۡمَيِّتِ وَيُخۡرِجُ الۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ الۡحَـىِّ وَمَنۡ يُّدَبِّرُ الۡاَمۡرَ​ؕ فَسَيَـقُوۡلُوۡنَ اللّٰهُ​ۚ فَقُلۡ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوۡنَ‏ ٣١

Ask them: 'Who provides you with sustenance out of the heavens and the earth? Who holds mastery over your hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living? Who governs all affairs of the universe?' They will surely say: 'Allah.' Tell them: 'Will you, then, not shun (going against reality)?"

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inse poocho, kaun tumko aasman aur zameen se rizq deta hai? Yeh samaat (hearing) aur beenayi (vision) ki quwwatein kiske ikhtiyar mein hai? Kaun be-jaan mein se jaandaar ko aur jaandaar mein se be-jaan ko nikalta hai? Kaun is nazm e alam ki tadbeer kar raha hai(governs all affairs of the universe)? Woh zaroor kahenge ke Allah, Kaho phir tum (haqeeqat ke khilaf chalne se) parheiz nahin karte

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمُ الۡحَـقُّ ​ ۚ فَمَاذَا بَعۡدَ الۡحَـقِّ اِلَّا الضَّلٰلُ​​ ۚ فَاَنّٰى تُصۡرَفُوۡنَ‏ ٣٢

Such, then, is Allah, your true Lord. And what is there after truth but error? How, then, are you being turned away?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tab to yahi Allah tumhara haqiqi Rubb hai phir haqq ke baad gumraahi ke siwa aur kya baqi reh gaya? Aakhir yeh tum kidhar phiraye jaa rahey ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

كَذٰلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِيۡنَ فَسَقُوۡۤا اَنَّهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ٣٣

Thus the word of your Lord is fulfilled concerning the transgressors that they shall not believe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi, dekho) is tarah nafarmani ikhtiyar karne walon par tumhare Rubb ki baat sadiq aa gayi ke woh maan kar na denge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِنۡ شُرَكَآٮِٕكُمۡ مَّنۡ يَّبۡدَؤُا الۡخَـلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيۡدُهٗ​ ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ يَـبۡدَؤُا الۡخَـلۡقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيۡدُهٗ​ؕ فَاَنّٰى تُؤۡفَكُوۡنَ‏ ٣٤

Ask them: 'Is there any among those whom you associate with Allah in His divinity who brings about the creation of all beings in the first instance and will then repeat it?' Tell them: 'It is Allah Who brings about the creation of all beings and will then repeat it. How are you, then, being misled?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insey pucho, tumhare thehraye huye shareekon mein koi hai jo takhleeq(creation) ki ibteda bhi karta ho aur phir uska iaada bhi karey? Kaho woh sirf Allah hai jo takhleeq ki ibteda bhi karta hai aur uska iaada bhi, phir tum yeh kis ulti raah par chalaye jaa rahey ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِنۡ شُرَكَآٮِٕكُمۡ مَّنۡ يَّهۡدِىۡۤ اِلَى الۡحَـقِّ​ؕ قُلِ اللّٰهُ يَهۡدِىۡ لِلۡحَقِّ​ؕ اَفَمَنۡ يَّهۡدِىۡۤ اِلَى الۡحَقِّ اَحَقُّ اَنۡ يُّتَّبَعَ اَمَّنۡ لَّا يَهِدِّىۡۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يُّهۡدٰى​ۚ فَمَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُوۡنَ‏  ٣٥

Ask them: 'Are there among ones whom you associate with Allah in His divinity those who can guide to the truth? Say: 'It is Allah alone Who guides to the truth.' Then, who is more worthy to be followed - He Who guides to the truth, or he who cannot find the right way unless others guide him to it? What is wrong with you? How ill do you judge!

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insey pucho, tumhare thehraye huey shareekon mein koi aisa bhi hai jo haqq ki taraf rehnumayi karta ho? Kaho woh sirf Allah hai jo haqq ki taraf rehnumayi karta hai. Phir bhala batao jo haqq ki taraf rehnumayi karta hai woh iska zyada mustahiq hai ke uski pairwi ki jaye ya woh jo khud raah nahin paata illa yeh ke uski rehnumayi ki jaye? Aakhir tumhein ho kya gaya hai, kaise ultey ultey faisle karte ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ اِلَّا ظَنًّا ؕاِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِىۡ مِنَ الۡحَـقِّ شَيۡــًٔا​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ‏ ٣٦

Most of them only follow conjectures; and surely conjecture can be no substitute for truth. Allah is well aware of whatever they do.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke in mein se aksar log mehaz qayas o guman (conjectures) ke peechey chaley jaa rahey hain, halanke gumaan haqq ki zaroorat ko kuch bhi poora nahin karta. Jo kuch yeh kar rahey hain Allah usko khoob jaanta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا كَانَ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنُ اَنۡ يُّفۡتَـرٰى مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَلٰـكِنۡ تَصۡدِيۡقَ الَّذِىۡ بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيۡهِ مِنۡ رَّبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ٣٧

And this Qur'an is such that it could not be composed by any unless it be revealed from Allah. It is a confirmation of the revelation made before it and a detailed exposition of the Book. Beyond doubt it is from the Lord of the universe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yeh Quran woh cheez nahin hai jo Allah ki wahee o taleem ke bagair tasneef (composed/written) karliya jaye. Balke yeh to jo kuch pehle aa chuka tha uski tasdeeq aur al-kitab ki tafseel hai. Ismein koi shakk nahin ke yeh farmarawa-e-qayinaat ki taraf se hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَـرٰٮهُ​ ؕ قُلۡ فَاۡتُوۡا بِسُوۡرَةٍ مِّثۡلِهٖ وَادۡعُوۡا مَنِ اسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ٣٨

Do they say that the Messenger has himself composed the Qur'an? Say: 'In that case bring forth just one surah like it and call on all whom you can, except Allah, to help you if you are truthful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya yeh log kehte hain ke paigambar ne isey khud tasneef karliya hai? Kaho “ agar tum apne is ilzaam mein sacchey ho to ek surat is jaisi tasneef kar lao aur ek khuda ko chodh kar jis jis ko bula sakte ho madad ke liye bula lo”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

بَلۡ كَذَّبُوۡا بِمَا لَمۡ يُحِيۡطُوۡا بِعِلۡمِهٖ وَلَمَّا يَاۡتِهِمۡ تَاۡوِيۡلُهٗ ​ؕ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ​ فَانْظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٣٩

In fact they arbitrarily rejected as false whatever they failed to comprehend and whose final sequel was not apparent to them. Likewise had their predecessors rejected the truth, declaring it falsehood. Do observe, then, what was the end of the wrong-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Asal yeh hai ke jo cheez inke ilm ki giraft mein nahin aayi aur jiska ma’al bhi inke samne nahin aaya(whose final sequel was not apparent to them), usko inhon ne (khwa ma khwa atkal picchu) jhutla diya. Isi tarah to insey pehle ke log bhi jhutla chuke hain. Phir dekhlo un zalimon ka kya anjaam hua

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَ مِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُ بِهٖ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهٖ​ؕ وَرَبُّكَ اَعۡلَمُ بِالۡمُفۡسِدِيۡنَ‏ ٤٠

Of those some will believe and others will not. Your Lord knows best the mischief-makers.

In mein se kuch log iman layenge aur kuch nahin layenge. Aur tera Rubb un mufsidon(mischief-makers) ko khoob jaanta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِنۡ كَذَّبُوۡكَ فَقُلْ لِّىۡ عَمَلِىۡ وَلَـكُمۡ عَمَلُكُمۡ​ۚ اَنۡـتُمۡ بَرِيۡٓــُٔوۡنَ مِمَّاۤ اَعۡمَلُ وَاَنَا بَرِىۡٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ٤١

And if they reject you as false, tell them: 'My deeds are for myself and your deeds for yourselves. You will not be held responsible for my deeds, nor I for your deeds.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar yeh tujhey jhutlate hain to kehde ke “mera amal mere liye hai aur tumhara amal tumhare liye. Jo kuch main karta hoon uski zimmedari se tum bari ho aur jo kuch tum kar rahey ho uski zimmedari se main bari hoon”

Of them some seem to give heed to you; will you, then, make the deaf hear even though they understand nothing?

And of them some look towards you; will you, then, guide the blind, even though they can see nothing?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In mein bahut se log hain jo tujhey dekhte hain, magar kya tu andhon ko raah batayega khwa unhein kuch na soojhta ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيۡــًٔا وَّلٰـكِنَّ النَّاسَ اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُوۡنَ‏ ٤٤

Surely Allah does not wrong men; they rather wrong themselves.

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke Allah logon par zulm nahin karta, log khud hi apne upar zulm karte hain

(But today they are oblivious of everything except enjoyment of worldly life.) And on the Day when He will muster all men together, they will feel as though they had been in the world no more than an hour of the day to get acquainted with one another. (It will then become evident that) those who called the lie to meeting with Allah were utter losers and were not rightly-directed.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(aaj yeh duniya ki zindagi mein mast hain) aur jis roz Allah inko ikattha karega to (yahi duniya ki zindagi inhein aisi mehsoos hogi) goya yeh mehaz ek ghadi bhar aapas mein jaan pehchan karne ko thehre thay .
