وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَشۡرَكُوۡا لَوۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَا عَبَدۡنَا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ نَّحۡنُ وَلَاۤ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ​ؕ كَذٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ​ۚ فَهَلۡ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ ٣٥

Those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity say: "Were Allah to will so, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped any other than Him, nor would we have prohibited anything without His command." Their predecessors proffered similar excuses. Do the Messengers have any other duty but to plainly convey the Message?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh mushrikeen kehte hain “agar Allah chahta to na hum aur na hamare baap dada uske siwa kisi aur ki ibadat karte aur na uske hukum ke bagair kisi cheez ko haraam thehrate”. Aisey hi bahane insey pehle ke log bhi banate rahey hain to kya Rasoolon par saaf saaf baat pahuncha dene ke siwa aur bhi koi zimmedari hai

We raised a Messenger in every community (to tell them): "Serve Allah and shun the Evil One." Thereafter Allah guided some of them while others were overtaken by error. Go about the earth, then, and observe what was the end of those who rejected the Messengers, calling them liars.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne har ummat mein ek Rasool bhej diya, aur uske zariye se sabko khabardar kardiya ke “Allah ki bandagi karo aur taghut ki bandagi se bacho”. Iske baad in mein se kisi ko Allah ne hidayat bakshi aur kisi par zalalat musallat ho gayi. Phir zara zameen mein chal phir kar dekhlo ke jhutlane walon ka kya anjaam ho chuka hai

(O Muhammad), howsoever eager you may be to show them the Right Way, Allah does not bestow His guidance on those whom He lets go astray; and in fact none will be able to help them.

وَمِنۡ ثَمَرٰتِ النَّخِيۡلِ وَالۡاَعۡنَابِ تَتَّخِذُوۡنَ مِنۡهُ سَكَرًا وَّرِزۡقًا حَسَنًا ؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ٦٧

And out of the fruits of date-palms and grapes you derive intoxicants as well as wholesome sustenance. Surely there is a sign for those who use reason.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Isi tarah) khajoor ke darakhton aur angoor ki beilon se bhi hum ek cheez tumhein pilatay hain jisey tum nasha-awar bhi bana letey ho aur paak rizq bhi. Yaqeenan is mein ek nishani hai aqal se kaam lene walon ke liye

وَاَوۡحٰى رَبُّكَ اِلَى النَّحۡلِ اَنِ اتَّخِذِىۡ مِنَ الۡجِبَالِ بُيُوۡتًا وَّمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعۡرِشُوۡنَۙ‏ ٦٨

Your Lord inspired the bee, saying: "Set up hives in the mountains and in the trees and in the trellises that people put up,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur dekho, tumhare Rubb ne shahed (honey) ki makkhi par yeh baat wahee kardi ke pahadon mein, aur darakhton mein, aur tattiyon par chadhayi hui bailon mein (mountains, trees and in the creepers over trellises) apne chattey bana (Build your hive)

ثُمَّ كُلِىۡ مِنۡ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ فَاسۡلُكِىۡ سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا​ ؕ يَخۡرُجُ مِنۡۢ بُطُوۡنِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ اَلۡوَانُهٗ فِيۡهِ شِفَآءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ​ؕ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّقَوۡمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ‏ ٦٩

then suck the juice of every kind of fruit and keep treading the ways of your Lord which have been made easy." There comes forth from their bellies a drink varied in colours, wherein there is healing for men. Verily there is a sign in this for those who reflect.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur har tarah ke phoolon ka rass choos aur apne Rubb ki humwar ki hui raahon par chalti reh. Is makkhi ke andar se rang bi rang ka ek sharbat nikalta hai jismein shifa hai logon ke liye. Yaqeenan is mein bhi ek nishani hai un logon ke liye jo gaur o fikr karte hain

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفّٰٮكُمۡ​ۙ وَمِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّرَدُّ اِلٰٓى اَرۡذَلِ الۡعُمُرِ لِكَىۡ لَا يَعۡلَمَ بَعۡدَ عِلۡمٍ شَيۡــًٔا​ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيۡمٌ قَدِيۡرٌ‏ ٧٠

Allah has created you, and then He causes you to die. Some of you have your lives prolonged to an abject old age, when one loses all knowledge after having acquired it. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur dekho, Allah ne tumko paida kiya, phir woh tumko maut deta hai aur tum mein se koi badhtareen umar ko pahucha diya jata hai taa-ke sab kuch jaanne ke baad phir kuch na janey. Haqq yeh hai ke Allah hi ilm mein bhi kamil hai aur qudrat mein bhi

وَاللّٰهُ فَضَّلَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ فِى الرِّزۡقِ​ۚ فَمَا الَّذِيۡنَ فُضِّلُوۡا بِرَآدِّىۡ رِزۡقِهِمۡ عَلٰى مَا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيۡهِ سَوَآءٌ​ ؕ اَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ اللّٰهِ يَجۡحَدُوۡنَ‏ ٧١

Allah has favoured some of you with more worldly provisions than others. Then those who are more favoured do not give away their provisions to their slaves lest they become equal sharers in it. Do they, then, deny the favour of Allah?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur dekho, Allah ne tum mein se baaz ko baaz par rizq mein fazilat ata ki hai, phir jin logon ko yeh fazeelat di gayi hai woh aisey nahin hain ke apna rizq apne ghulaamo ki taraf pher diya karte hon taa-ke dono is rizq mein barabar ke hissedaar ban jayein. To kya Allah hi ka ehsan maanne se in logon ko inkar hai
