Behold! Allah is not ashamed to propound the parable of a gnat, or even of something more lowly. On hearing these parables the believers know that it is the truth from their Lord, while those bent on denying the Truth say: “What does Allah mean by these parables?” Thus He causes many to go astray just as He directs many to the Right Way.

Just think when your Lord said to the angels: “Lo! I am about to place a vicegerent on earth,” they said: “Will You place on it one who will spread mischief and shed blood while we celebrate Your glory and extol Your holiness?” He said: “Surely I know what you do not know.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir zara us waqt ka tasavvur karo jab tumhare Rubb ne Farishton se kaha tha ke “ main zameen mein ek khalifa banane wala hoon” unhon ne arz kiya : “kya aap zameen mein kisi aisey ko muqarrar karne waley hain, jo iske intezaam ko bigadh dega aur khoon-reziyan karega? Aap ki hamd o sana ke saath tasbeeh aur aap ke liye taqdees to hum kar hi rahey hain.” Farmaya: “ main jaanta hoon jo kuch tum nahin jaante.”

They said. “Glory to You! We have no knowledge except what You taught us. You, only You, are All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

Unhon ne arz kiya: “nuqs (defect) se paak to aap hi ki zaat hai, hum to bas itna hi ilm rakhte hain, jitna aapne humko de diya hai, haqeeqat mein sab kuch jaanne aur samajhne wala aap ke siwa koi nahin”

قَالَ يٰٓـاٰدَمُ اَنۡۢبِئۡهُمۡ بِاَسۡمَآٮِٕهِمۡ​ۚ فَلَمَّآ اَنۡۢبَاَهُمۡ بِاَسۡمَآٮِٕهِمۡۙ قَالَ اَلَمۡ اَقُل لَّـكُمۡ اِنِّىۡٓ اَعۡلَمُ غَيۡبَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِۙ وَاَعۡلَمُ مَا تُبۡدُوۡنَ وَمَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَكۡتُمُوۡنَ‏ ٣٣

Then Allah said to Adam: “Tell them the names of these things.” And when he had told them the names of all things, Allah said: “Did I not say to you that I know everything about the heavens and the earth which are beyond your range of knowledge and I know all that you disclose and also all that you hide?”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir Allah ne Adam se kaha: “ tum inhein in cheezon ke naam batao” jab usne unko un sabke naam bata diye, to Allah ne farmaya : “ maine tum se kaha na tha ke main aasmano aur zameen ki woh saari haqeeqatein jaanta hoon jo tumse makhfi (chupi) hain, jo kuch tum zaahir karte ho, woh bhi mujhey maloom hai aur jo kuch tum chupate ho, usey bhi main jaanta hoon.”

But Satan caused both of them to deflect from obeying Our command by tempting them to the tree and brought them out of the state they were in, and We said: “Get down all of you; henceforth, each of you is an enemy of the other, and on earth you shall have your abode and your livelihood for an appointed time.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aakhir e kaar shaytan ne in dono ko is darakht ki targeeb dekar hamare hukum ki pairwi se hata diya aur inhein us haalat se nikalwa kar chodha jismein woh thay. Humne hukum diya ke, ab tum sab yahan se utar jao, tum ek dusre ke dushman ho aur tumhein ek khaas waqt tak zameen (mein) theharna aur wahin guzar basar karna hai”

Go down to some city and there you shall get what you ask for.” And ignominy and wretchedness were pitched upon them and they were laden with the burden of Allah’s wrath. This was because they denied the Signs of Allah and slew the Prophets unrightfully. All this, because they disobeyed and persistently exceeded the limits (of the Law).

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yaad karo, jab tumne kaha tha ke, “Aey Moosa, hum ek hi tarah ke khane par sabr nahin kar saktey, apne Rubb se dua karo ke hamare liye zameen ki paidawaar saag, tarkari, kheera, kakdi, gehoon, lasan, pyaz, daal wagaira paida karey” to Moosa ne kaha “ “kya ek behtar cheez ke bajaye tum adna darje ki cheezein lena chahte ho? Accha, kisi shehri aabaadi mein jaa raho, jo kuch tum maangte ho wahan mil jayega”. Aakhir e kaar naubat yahan tak pahunchi ke zillat o khwari aur pasti o badhaali unpar musallat ho gayi aur woh Allah ke gazab mein ghir gaye, yeh nateeja tha iska jo woh Allah ki aayat se kufr karne lagey aur paighambaron ko na-haqq qatal karne lagey, yeh nateeja tha unki nafarmaaniyon ka aur is baat ka ke woh hudood e sharaa se nikal nikal jatay thay

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَالَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا وَالنَّصٰرٰى وَالصّٰبِـِٕـيۡنَ مَنۡ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًـا فَلَهُمۡ اَجۡرُهُمۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡۚ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ‏ ٦٢

Whether they are the ones who believe (in the Arabian Prophet), or whether they are Jews, Christians or Sabians – all who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and do righteous deeds – their reward is surely secure with their Lord; they need have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yaqeen jaano ke Nabi e arabi ko maanne waley hon ya yahudi, Isayi hon ya Sabyi, jo bhi Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman layega aur neik amal karega, uska ajar uske Rubb ke paas hai aur uske liye kisi khauf aur ranjh ka mauqa nahin hai

وَاِذۡ اَخَذۡنَا مِيۡثَاقَكُمۡ وَرَفَعۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمُ الطُّوۡرَؕ خُذُوۡا مَآ اٰتَيۡنٰكُمۡ بِقُوَّةٍ وَّ اذۡكُرُوۡا مَا فِيۡهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُوۡنَ‏ ٦٣

And recall when We made a covenant with you and caused the Mount Sinai to tower above you, (saying): “Hold fast to the Book that We have given you, and remember the directives and commandments in it, that you be pious.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yaad karo woh waqt, jab humne Tur (tur pahad) ko tumpar utha kar tumse pukhta ahad liya tha aur kaha tha ke “jo kitab hum tumhein de rahey hain usey mazbooti ke saath thamna aur jo ehkaam o hidayaat ismein darj hain unhein yaad rakhna, isi zariye se tawaqqu ki ja sakti hai ke tum taqwa ki rawish par chal sakogey”

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ​​ۚ فَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهٗ لَـكُنۡتُمۡ مِّنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ‏ ٦٤

Then you turned away from your covenant, and had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy upon you, you would have long been utter losers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Magar iske baad tum apne ahad se phir gaye ispar bhi Allah ke fazal aur uski rehmat ne tumhara saath na choda, warna tum kabhi ke tabaah ho chuke hotay

And you know the case of those of you who broke the Sabbath, how We said to them: “Become apes, despised and hated.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir tumhein apni qaum ke un logon ka qissa to maloom hi hai jinhon ne Sabt (sabbath) ka kanoon toda tha, humne unhein kehdiya ke bandar ban jao aur is haal mein raho ke har taraf se tumpar dhutkaar phitkaar padey

And thus We made their end a warning for the people of their own time and for the succeeding generations, and an admonition to the God-fearing.

And then recall when Moses said to his people: “Behold, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow.” They said: “Are you jesting with us?” Moses answered: “I seek refuge in Allah that I should behave in the manner of the ignorant.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir woh waqiya yaad karo, jab Moosa ne apne qaum se kaha ke, Allah tumhein ek gai (cow) zibaah karne ka hukm deta hai. Kehne lagey kya tum humse mazaaq karte ho? Moosa ne kaha, main issey khuda ki panaah maangta hoon ke jaahilon ki si baatein karoon

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Bole, accha apne Rubb se darkhwast karo ke woh humein is gai ki kuch tafseel bataye, Moosa ne kaha, Allah ka irshad hai ke woh aisi gai honi chahiye jo na boodhi ho na bachhiya, balke ausat umar ki ho, lihaza jo hukm diya jata hai uski tameel karo

Phir kehne lagey apne Rubb se yeh aur puch do ke uska rang kaisa ho, Moosa ne kaha woh farmata hai zard (yellow) rang ki gai honi chahiye, jiska rang aisa shukh (bright) ho ke dekhne walon ka jee khush ho jaye

He says, she is a cow unyoked to plough the earth or to water the tillage, one that has been kept secure, with no blemish on her!” Thereupon they cried out: “Now you have come forth with the information that will direct us aright.” And they slaughtered her although they scarcely seemed to do so.
