يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَوۡفُوۡا بِالۡعُقُوۡدِ​ ؕ اُحِلَّتۡ لَـكُمۡ بَهِيۡمَةُ الۡاَنۡعَامِ اِلَّا مَا يُتۡلٰى عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَيۡرَ مُحِلِّى الصَّيۡدِ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ حُرُمٌ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحۡكُمُ مَا يُرِيۡدُ‏ ١

Believers! Honour your bonds! All grazing beasts of the flock are permitted to you except those which are recited to you hereinafter, but you are not allowed to hunt in the state of Ihram (a state of pilgrim sanctity). Indeed Allah decrees as He wills.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, bandishon ki puri pabandi karo, tumhare liye maweshi ki qisam ke sab jaanwar halaal kiye gaye, siwaye unke jo aagey chalkar tumko bataye jayenge, lekin ehram ki halat mein shikar ko apne liye halal na karlo. Beshak Allah jo chahta hai hukum deta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تُحِلُّوۡا شَعَآٮِٕرَ اللّٰهِ وَلَا الشَّهۡرَ الۡحَـرَامَ وَلَا الۡهَدۡىَ وَلَا الۡقَلَٓاٮِٕدَ وَلَاۤ آٰمِّيۡنَ الۡبَيۡتَ الۡحَـرَامَ يَبۡـتَغُوۡنَ فَضۡلًا مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ وَرِضۡوَانًا ​ؕ وَاِذَا حَلَلۡتُمۡ فَاصۡطَادُوۡا​ ؕ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَاٰنُ قَوۡمٍ اَنۡ صَدُّوۡكُمۡ عَنِ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَـرَامِ اَنۡ تَعۡتَدُوۡا​ ۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوۡا عَلَى الۡبِرِّ وَالتَّقۡوٰى​ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوۡا عَلَى الۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡعُدۡوَانِ​ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ​ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِ‏ ٢

Believers! Neither desecrate the symbols of (devotion to) Allah, nor the holy month, nor the animals of offering, nor the animals wearing collars indicating they are for sacrifice, nor ill-treat those who have set out for the Holy House seeking from their Lord His bounty and good pleasure. But once you are free from Pilgrimage obligations, you are free to hunt. Do not let your wrath against the people who have barred you from the Holy Mosque move you to commit undue transgressions; rather, help one another in acts of righteousness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and transgression. Fear Allah. Surely Allah is severe in retribution.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, khuda parasti ki nishaniyon ko be-hurmat na karo, na haram mahino(months) mein se kisi ko halal karlo, na qurbaani ke jaanwaron par dast darazi karo, na un jaanwaron par haath daalo jinki gardano mein nazar e khuda-wandi ki alamat ke taur par pattey padey (wearing collars) huey hon, na un logon ko chedo jo apne Rubb ke fazal aur uski khushnudi ki talash mein makaan-e-mohtaram (kaaba) ki taraf jaa rahey hon. Haan jab ehram ki halat khatam ho jaye to shikar tum kar sakte ho aur dekho ek giroh ne jo tumhare liye masjid e haraam ka rasta bandh kardiya hai to ispar tumhara gussa tumhein itna mushtail na karde ke tum bhi unke muqable mein narawa zyadatiyan karne lago. Nahin! Jo kaam neki aur khuda tarsi ke hain un sab mein taawun (help one another) karo aur jo gunaah aur zyadati ke kaam hain unmein kisi se taawun (help one another) na karo. Allah se daro, uski saza bahut sakht hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمُ الۡمَيۡتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحۡمُ الۡخِنۡزِيۡرِ وَمَاۤ اُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ اللّٰهِ بِهٖ وَالۡمُنۡخَنِقَةُ وَالۡمَوۡقُوۡذَةُ وَالۡمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيۡحَةُ وَمَاۤ اَكَلَ السَّبُعُ اِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيۡتُمۡ وَمَا ذُ بِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَاَنۡ تَسۡتَقۡسِمُوۡا بِالۡاَزۡلَامِ​ ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ فِسۡقٌ​ ؕ اَلۡيَوۡمَ يَٮِٕسَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ دِيۡـنِكُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَاخۡشَوۡنِ​ ؕ اَ لۡيَوۡمَ اَكۡمَلۡتُ لَـكُمۡ دِيۡنَكُمۡ وَاَ تۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِىۡ وَرَضِيۡتُ لَـكُمُ الۡاِسۡلَامَ دِيۡنًا​ ؕ فَمَنِ اضۡطُرَّ فِىۡ مَخۡمَصَةٍ غَيۡرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّاِثۡمٍ​ۙ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏‏ ٣

Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, the animal slaughtered in any name other than Allah's, the animal which has either been strangled, killed by blows, has died of a fall, by goring or that devoured by a beast of prey - unless it be that which you yourselves might have slaughtered while it was still alive - and that which was slaughtered at the altars.- You are also forbidden to seek knowledge of your fate by divining arrows. All these are sinful acts. This day the unbelievers have fully despaired of your religion. Do not fear them; but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion, and have bestowed upon you My bounty in full measure, and have been pleased to assign for you Islam as your religion. (Follow, then, the lawful and unlawful bounds enjoined upon you.) As for he who is driven by hunger, without being wilfully inclined to sin, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumpar haram kiya gaya murdar(carrion/dead meat), khoon, suwar ka gosht, woh jaanwar jo khuda ke siwa kisi aur ke naam par zibah kiya gaya ho, woh jo gala ghunt(strangulate) kar , ya chot (wound) kha kar, ya bulandi se gir kar, ya takkar kha kar mara ho, ya jisey kisi darinde ne phada ho siwaye uske jisey tumne zinda paa kar zibah karliya, aur woh jo kisi aastaane(altars) par zibah kiya gaya ho, neiz yeh bhi tumhare liye najayiz hai ke paanson ke zariye se apni kismat maloom karo(your fate by divining arrows). Yeh sab afaal fisq (sinful acts) hain. Aaj kaafrion ko tumhare deen ki taraf se poori mayousi ho chuki hai lihaza tum unsey na daro balke mujhse daro. Aaj maine tumhare deen ko tumhare liye mukammal kardiya hai aur apni niyamat tumpar tamaam kardi hai aur tumhare liye Islam ko tumhare deen ki haisiyat se qabool karliya hai. (Lihaza haram o halal ki jo quyood tumpar aayad kardi gayi hain unki pabandi karo) albatta jo shaks bhook se majboor hokar unmein se koi cheez kha le , bagair iske ke gunaah ki taraf uska mailan(wilfully inclined) ho to beshak Allah maaf karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَسۡـَٔـــلُوۡنَكَ مَاذَاۤ اُحِلَّ لَهُمۡ​ؕ قُلۡ اُحِلَّ لَـكُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتُ​ ۙ وَمَا عَلَّمۡتُمۡ مِّنَ الۡجَـوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِيۡنَ تُعَلِّمُوۡنَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللّٰهُ​ فَكُلُوۡا مِمَّاۤ اَمۡسَكۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَاذۡكُرُوا اسۡمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡهِ​ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِيۡعُ الۡحِسَابِ‏ ٤

They ask you what has been made lawful to them. Say: 'All clean things have been made lawful to you, and such hunting animals as you teach, training them to hunt, teaching them the knowledge Allah has given you - you may eat what they catch for you - but invoke the name of Allah on it. Have fear of Allah (in violating His Law). Allah is swift in His reckoning.'

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Log puchte hain ke unke liye kya halal kiya gaya hai, kaho tumhare liye sari paak cheezein halal kardi gayi hain aur jin shikari jaanwaron ko tumne sadhaya ho (teach, training them to hunt) jinko khuda ke diye huey ilam ki bina par tum shikar ki taleem diya karte ho, woh jis jaanwar ko tumhare liye pakad rakkhein usko bhi tum kha sakte ho, albatta uspar Allah ka naam lelo aur Allah ka kanoon todne se daro.Allah ko hisaab lete kuch dair nahin lagti

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اَلۡيَوۡمَ اُحِلَّ لَـكُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتُ​ ؕ وَطَعَامُ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوۡا الۡكِتٰبَ حِلٌّ لَّـکُمۡ وَطَعَامُكُمۡ حِلٌّ لَّهُمۡ​ وَالۡمُحۡصَنٰتُ مِنَ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ وَالۡمُحۡصَنٰتُ مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡـكِتٰبَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ اِذَاۤ اٰتَيۡتُمُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ مُحۡصِنِيۡنَ غَيۡرَ مُسَافِحِيۡنَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِىۡۤ اَخۡدَانٍ​ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِالۡاِيۡمَانِ فَقَدۡ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهٗ وَهُوَ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ‏  ٥

This day all good things have been made lawful to you. The food of the People of the Book is permitted to you, and your food is permitted to them. And permitted to you are chaste women, be they either from among the believers or from among those who have received the Book before you,provided you become their protectors in wedlock after paying them their bridal-due, rather than go around committing fornication and taking them as secret-companions. The work of he who refuses to follow the way of faith will go waste, and he will be among the utter losers in the Hereafter.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aaj tumhare liye sari paak cheezein halal kardi gayi hain, ehle kitab ka khana tumhare liye halal hai aur tumhara khana unke liye aur mehfooz auratein bhi tumhare liye halal hain khwa woh ehle iman ke giroh se hon ya un qaumon mein se jinko tumse pehle kitaab di gayi thi, bashart-ye-ke tum unke mehar ada karke nikah mein unke muhafiz (protectors) bano, na yeh ke azad shehwat (lust) rani karne lago ya chori chupe ashnaiyan karo. Aur jo kisi ne iman ki rawish par chalne se inkar kiya to uska sara karnama e zindagi zaye ho jayega aur woh aakhirat mein diwaliya (among the utter losers) hoga

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا قُمۡتُمۡ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغۡسِلُوۡا وُجُوۡهَكُمۡ وَاَيۡدِيَكُمۡ اِلَى الۡمَرَافِقِ وَامۡسَحُوۡا بِرُءُوۡسِكُمۡ وَاَرۡجُلَكُمۡ اِلَى الۡـكَعۡبَيۡنِ​ ؕ وَاِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوۡا​ ؕ وَاِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مَّرۡضَىٰۤ اَوۡ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوۡ جَآءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡغَآٮِٕطِ اَوۡ لٰمَسۡتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَلَمۡ تَجِدُوۡا مَآءً فَتَيَمَّمُوۡا صَعِيۡدًا طَيِّبًا فَامۡسَحُوۡا بِوُجُوۡهِكُمۡ وَاَيۡدِيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡهُ​ ؕ مَا يُرِيۡدُ اللّٰهُ لِيَجۡعَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ حَرَجٍ وَّلٰـكِنۡ يُّرِيۡدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ وَ لِيُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتَهٗ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡنَ‏ ٦

Believers! When you stand up for Prayer wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. And if you are in the state of ritual impurity, purify yourselves (by taking a bath). But if you are either ill, travelling, have satisfied a want of nature or have had contact with women and find no water then have recourse to clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith. Allah does not want to lay any hardship upon you; rather He wants to purify you and complete His favours upon you so that you may give thanks.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, jab tum namaz ke liye utho to chahiye ke apne mooh aur haath kohniyon tak dho lo, siron(heads) par haath pher lo aur paon takno tak dho liya karo, agar janabat ki halat mein ho to naha kar paak ho jao , agar bimaar ho ya safar ki halat mein ho ya tum mein se koi shaks rafe hajat(reliving himself) karke aaye ya tumne auraton ko haath lagaya ho, aur pani na miley, to paak mitti se kaam lo, bas uspar haath maar kar apne mooh aur haathon par pher liya karo. Allah tumpar zindagi ko tangg nahin karna chahta, magar woh chahta hai ke tumhein paak karey aur apni niyamat tumpar tamaam karde, shayad ke tum shukarguzar bano

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاذْکُرُوْ انِعْمَةَ اللهِ عَلَیْکُمْ وَمِیْثَاقَهُ الَّذِیْ وَاثَقَکُمْ بِهۤ ۙ اِذْقُلْتُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَا وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ ؕ اِنَّ اللهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ‏ ٧

Remember Allah's favour upon you and His covenant which He made with you when you said: 'We have heard and we obey.' So do fear Allah. Allah has full knowledge even of that which is hidden in the breasts of people.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ne tumko jo niyamat ata ki hai uska khayal rakkho aur us pukhta ahad ko na bhoolo jo usne tumse liya hai, yani tumhara yeh qaul ke , “humne suna aur itaat qabool ki” Allah se daro , Allah dilon ke raaz jaanta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُوۡنُوۡا قَوَّا امِيۡنَ لِلّٰهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ​ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَاٰنُ قَوۡمٍ عَلٰٓى اَ لَّا تَعۡدِلُوۡا​ ؕ اِعۡدِلُوۡا هُوَ اَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوٰى​ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيۡرٌۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ٨

Believers! Be upright bearers of witness for Allah, and do not let the enmity of any people move you to deviate from justice. Act justly, that is nearer to God-fearing. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is well aware of what you do.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho! Allah ki khatir raasti (upright) par qayam rehne waley aur insaf ki gawahi dene waley bano, kisi giroh ki dushmani tumko itna mushtail (move) na karde ke insaf se phir jao. Adal (insaf) karo, yeh khuda tarsi se zyada munasibat rakhta hai, Allah se darr kar kaam karte raho, jo kuch tum karte ho Allah ussey puri tarah ba-khabar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ​ ۙ لَهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ وَّاَجۡرٌ عَظِيۡمٌ‏ ٩

Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness from sins and a great reward.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jo log iman layein aur neik amal karein, Allah ne unsey wada kiya hai ke unki khataon se darguzar kiya jayega aur unhein bada ajar milega

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَكَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏  ١٠

As for those who disbelieve and give the lie to Our signs, they are destined for the Blazing Flame.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Rahey woh log jo kufr karein aur Allah ki aayat ko jhutlayein , to woh dozakh mein janey waley hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اذۡكُرُوۡا نِعۡمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اِذۡ هَمَّ قَوۡمٌ اَنۡ يَّبۡسُطُوۡۤا اِلَيۡكُمۡ اَيۡدِيَهُمۡ فَكَفَّ اَيۡدِيَهُمۡ عَنۡكُمۡ​ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ​ ؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ١١

Believers! Remember Allah's favour upon you. When a certain people decided to stretch their hands against you, He restrained their hands from you. Do fear Allah. Men of faith should put their trust in Allah alone.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, Allah ke us ehsan ko yaad karo jo usne (abhi haal mein) tumpar kiya hai, jabke ek giroh ne tumpar dast darazi (stretch their hands against you) ka irada karliya tha, magar Allah ne unke haath tumpar uthne se roak diye, Allah se darr kar kaam karte raho, iman rakhne walon ko Allah hi par bharosa karna chahiye

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَقَدۡ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِيۡثَاقَ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرآءِيۡلَ​ۚ وَبَعَثۡنَا مِنۡهُمُ اثۡنَىۡ عَشَرَ نَقِيۡبًا​ ؕ وَقَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّىۡ مَعَكُمۡ​ؕ لَٮِٕنۡ اَقَمۡتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَيۡتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَاٰمَنۡتُمۡ بِرُسُلِىۡ وَعَزَّرۡتُمُوۡهُمۡ وَاَقۡرَضۡتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡكُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِكُمۡ وَلَاُدۡخِلَـنَّكُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ​ۚ فَمَنۡ كَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذٰ لِكَ مِنۡكُمۡ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِيۡلِ‏ ١٢

Surely Allah took a covenant with the Children of Israel, and We raised up from them twelve of their leaders, and Allah said: 'Behold, I am with you; if you establish Prayer and pay Zakah and believe in My Prophets and help them, and lend Allah a good loan, I will certainly efface from you your evil deeds, and will surely cause you to enter the Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Whosoever of you disbelieves thereafter has indeed gone astray from the right way.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ne bani Israel se pukhta ahad liya tha aur in mein barah (twelve) naqeeb(leaders) muqarrar kiye thay aur unse kaha tha ke “main tumhare saath hoon, agar tumne namaz qayam rakkhi aur zakaat di aur mere Rasoolon ko maana ar unki madad ki aur apne khuda ko accha qarz dete rahey to yaqeen rakkho ke main tumhari buraiyan tumse zayal (wipe out) kardunga aur tumko aisey baaghon (gardens) mein dakhil karunga jinke nichey nehrein behti hongi, magar iske baad jisne tum mein se kufr ki rawish ikhtiyar ki to dar haqeeqat usne swa-sabeel gum kardi (gone astray from the right way)”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِمۡ مِّيۡثَاقَهُمۡ لَعَنّٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا قُلُوۡبَهُمۡ قٰسِيَةً​ ۚ يُحَرِّفُوۡنَ الۡـكَلِمَ عَنۡ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ​ۙ وَنَسُوۡا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوۡا بِهٖۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰى خَآٮِٕنَةٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّنۡهُمۡ​ فَاعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَاصۡفَحۡ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ١٣

Then, for their breach of the covenant We cast them away from Our mercy and caused their hearts to harden. (And now they are in such a state that) they pervert the words from their context and thus distort their meaning, and have forgotten a good portion of the teaching they were imparted, and regarding all except a few of them you continue to learn that they committed acts of treachery. Pardon them, then, and overlook their deeds. Surely Allah loves those who do good deeds.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir yeh unka apne ahad ko toad daalna tha jiski wajah se humne unko apni rehmat se door phenk diya aur unke dil sakht kardiye. Ab unka haal yeh hai ke alfaz ka ulat pher karke baat ko kahin se kahin le jatey hain, jo taleem inhein di gayi thi uska bada hissa bhool chuke hain, aur aaye din tumhein unki kisi na kisi khayanat ka pata chalta rehta hai. Inmein se bahut kam log is aib(burayi) se bachey huey hain, [pas jab yeh is haal ko pahunch chuke hain to jo shararatein bhi yeh karein woh inse ain mutwaqqe (expected) hain, lihaza inhein maaf karo aur inki harakat se chasm-poshi (overlook) karte raho. Allah un logon ko pasand karta hai jo ehsan ki rawish rakhte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰٓى اَخَذۡنَا مِيۡثَاقَهُمۡ فَنَسُوۡا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوۡا بِهٖ فَاَغۡرَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ الۡعَدَاوَةَ وَالۡبَغۡضَآءَ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ​ ؕ وَسَوۡفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَصۡنَعُوۡنَ‏  ١٤

We also took a covenant from those who said: 'We are Christians'; but they forgot a good portion of the teaching they had been imparted with. Wherefore We aroused enmity and spite between them till the Day of Resurrection, and ultimately Allah will tell them what they had contrived.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Isi tarah humne un logon se bhi pukhta ahad liya tha jinhon ne kaha tha ke “hum nasara (christians) hain” magar unko bhi jo sabaq yaad karaya gaya tha uska ek bada hissa unhon ne faramosh kardiya. Aakhir e kaar humne unke darmiyan qayamat tak ke liye dushmani aur aapas ke bugz o inaad (spite) ka beej bo (seed sow) diya, aur zaroor ek waqt aayega jab Allah unhein batayega ke woh duniya mein kya banate rahey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَهۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُوۡلُـنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَـكُمۡ كَثِيۡرًا مِّمَّا كُنۡتُمۡ تُخۡفُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡكِتٰبِ وَيَعۡفُوۡا عَنۡ كَثِيۡرٍ​ ؕ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ نُوۡرٌ وَّكِتٰبٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ ۙ‏ ١٥

People of the Book! Now Our Messenger has come to you: he makes clear to you a good many things of the Book which you were wont to conceal, and also passes over many things. There has now come to you a light from Allah, and a clear Book.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey ehle kitaab! Hamara Rasool tumhare paas aa gaya hai jo kitab e ilahi ki bahut si un baaton ko tumhare saamne khol raha hai jinpar tum purda dala karte thay, aur bahut si baaton se darguzar bhi kar jata hai. Tumhare paas Allah ki taraf se roshni aa gayi hai aur ek aisi haqq numa kitab

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَّهۡدِىۡ بِهِ اللّٰهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَانَهٗ سُبُلَ السَّلٰمِ وَيُخۡرِجُهُمۡ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوۡرِ بِاِذۡنِهٖ وَيَهۡدِيۡهِمۡ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ‏  ١٦

through which Allah shows to all who seek to please Him the paths leading to safety. He brings them out, by His leave, from darkness to light and directs them on to the straight way.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jiske zariye se Allah taala un logon ko jo uski raza ke taalib hain salamati ke tareeqe batata hai aur apne izan se unko andheron se nikal kar ujale ki taraf lata hai aur raah e raast ki taraf unki rehnumayi karta hai

Indeed those who said: 'Christ, the son of Mary, he is indeed God', disbelieved. Say (O Muhammad!): 'Who could have overruled Allah had He so willed to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, and his mother, and all those who are on earth?' For to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; He creates what He wills. Allah is All-Powerful.

The Jews and the Christians say: 'We are Allah's children and His beloved ones.' Ask them: 'Why, then, does He chastise you for your sins?' You are the same as other men He has created.

O Messenger! Do not be grieved on account of those who vie with one another in disbelieving: even though they be those who say with their mouths: 'We believe' even though their hearts have no faith; or they be Jews who have their ears eagerly turned to falsehood and spy for other people who did not chance to come to you, who pervert the words of Allah, taking them out of their proper context in order to distort their meaning. They say to people: 'If such and such teaching is given to you, accept it; if you are not given that, then beware! You can be of no avail to him whom Allah wills to fall into error. Those are the ones whose hearts Allah does not want to purify. For them there is degradation in this world and a mighty chastisement in the Next.

سَمّٰعُوۡنَ لِلۡكَذِبِ اَ كّٰلُوۡنَ لِلسُّحۡتِ​ؕ فَاِنۡ جَآءُوۡكَ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَهُمۡ اَوۡ اَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ​ ۚ وَاِنۡ تُعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ فَلَنۡ يَّضُرُّوۡكَ شَيۡــًٔـا​ ؕ وَاِنۡ حَكَمۡتَ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَهُمۡ بِالۡقِسۡطِ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُقۡسِطِيۡنَ‏ ٤٢

They are listeners of falsehood and greedy devourers of unlawful earnings. If they come to you you may either judge between them or turn away from them. And were you to turn away from them they shall not be able to harm you; and were you to judge between them judge with justice. Surely Allah loves the just.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh jhoot sunne waley aur haram ke maal khane waley hain, lihaza agar yeh tumhare paas (apne muqaddamaat lekar) aayein to tumhein ikhtiyar diya jata hai ke chaho inka faisla karo warna inkar kardo. Inkar kardo to yeh tumhara kuch bigaad nahin sakte, aur faisla karo to phir theek theek insaf ke saath karo ke Allah insaf karne walon ko pasand karta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَكَيۡفَ يُحَكِّمُوۡنَكَ وَعِنۡدَهُمُ التَّوۡرٰٮةُ فِيۡهَا حُكۡمُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰ لِكَ​ ؕ وَمَاۤ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ بِالۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏  ٤٣

Yet how will they appoint you a judge when they have the Torah with them, wherein there is Allah's judgement - and still they turn away from it? The fact is, they are not believers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yeh tumhein kaise hakam (Judge) banate hain jabke inke paas taurat (torah) maujood hai jismein Allah ka hukum likha hua hai aur phir yeh ussey mooh moad rahey hain? Asal baat yeh hai ke yeh log iman hi nahin rakhte

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا التَّوۡرٰٮةَ فِيۡهَا هُدًى وَّنُوۡرٌ​ ۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّوۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَسۡلَمُوۡا لِلَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا وَ الرَّبَّانِيُّوۡنَ وَالۡاَحۡبَارُ بِمَا اسۡتُحۡفِظُوۡا مِنۡ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ وَكَانُوۡا عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَ​​ ۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُا النَّاسَ وَاخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِىۡ ثَمَنًا قَلِيۡلًا​ ؕ وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَحۡكُمۡ بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ‏  ٤٤

Surely We revealed the Torah, wherein there is guidance and light. Thereby did Prophets - who had submitted themselves (to Allah) - judge for the Judaized folk; and so did the scholars and jurists. They judged by the Book of Allah for they had been entrusted to keep it, and bear witness to it. So (O Jews!) do not fear men but fear Me, and do not barter away My signs for a trivial gain. Those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are indeed the unbelievers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne Taurat nazil ki jismein hidayat aur roshni thi. Sarey Nabi jo muslim thay, usi ke mutaaliq in yahudi ban janey walon ke maamlaat ka faisla karte thay, aur isi tarah Rabbani aur ehbar (scholars and jurists) bhi (isi par faisley ka madaar rakhte thay). Kyunke unhein kitab Allah ki hifazat ka zimmedar banaya gaya tha aur woh ispar gawaah they. Pas (aey giroh e yahud!) tum logon se na daro balke mujhse daro, aur meri aayat ko zara zara se mawize (trivial gain/keemat) lekar bechna chodh do. Jo log Allah ke nazil karda kanoon ke mutabiq faisla na karein wahi kafir hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَكَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ فِيۡهَاۤ اَنَّ النَّفۡسَ بِالنَّفۡسِۙ وَالۡعَيۡنَ بِالۡعَيۡنِ وَالۡاَنۡفَ بِالۡاَنۡفِ وَالۡاُذُنَ بِالۡاُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّۙ وَالۡجُرُوۡحَ قِصَاصٌ​ؕ فَمَنۡ تَصَدَّقَ بِهٖ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَّهٗ ​ؕ وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَحۡكُمۡ بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ‏ ٤٥

And therein We had ordained for them: 'A life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for all wounds, like for like. But whosoever forgoes it by way of charity, it will be for him an expiation. Those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are indeed the wrong-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Taurat mein humne yahudiyon par yeh hukum likh diya tha ke jaan ke badle jaan, aankh ke badle aankh, naak ke badle naak, kaan ke badle kaan, daant ke badle daant, aur tamaam zakhmon ke liye barabar ka badla, phir jo qisas ka sadaqa karde to woh uske liye kaffara hai aur jo log Allah ke nazil karda kanoon ke mutabiq faisla na karein wahi zalim hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَقَفَّيۡنَا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمۡ بِعِيۡسَى ابۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ التَّوۡرٰٮةِ​ وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُ الۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ فِيۡهِ هُدًى وَّنُوۡرٌ ۙ وَّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ التَّوۡرٰٮةِ وَهُدًى وَّمَوۡعِظَةً لِّـلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ ؕ‏ ٤٦

And We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, after those Prophets, confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah. And We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and which confirms the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah, and a guidance and admonition for the God-fearing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir humne in paigambaron ke baad Maryam ke bete Isa ko bheja , Taurat mein se jo kuch uske samne maujood tha woh uski tasdeeq karne wala tha aur humne usko Injeel ata ki jismein rehnumayi aur roshni thi aur woh bhi Taurat mein se jo kuch us waqt maujood tha uski tasdeeq karne wali thi aur khuda tars logon keliye sarasar hidayat aur naseehat thi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلۡيَحۡكُمۡ اَهۡلُ الۡاِنۡجِيۡلِ بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ فِيۡهِ​ؕ وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَحۡكُمۡ بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡفٰسِقُوۡنَ‏ ٤٧

Let the followers of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein, and those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are the transgressors.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Hamara hukum tha ke ehle Injeel us kanoon ke mutabiq faisla karein jo Allah ne ismein nazil kiya hai aur jo log Allah ke nazil karda kanoon ke mutaabiq faisla na karein wahi fasiq hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاَنۡزَلۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ بِالۡحَـقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ الۡكِتٰبِ وَمُهَيۡمِنًا عَلَيۡهِ​ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَهُمۡ بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ اَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ عَمَّا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الۡحَـقِّ​ؕ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلۡنَا مِنۡكُمۡ شِرۡعَةً وَّمِنۡهَاجًا ​ؕ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَـعَلَـكُمۡ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلٰـكِنۡ لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِىۡ مَاۤ اٰتٰٮكُمۡ فَاسۡتَبِقُوا الۡخَـيۡـرٰتِ​ؕ اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيۡعًا فَيُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِمَا كُنۡتُمۡ فِيۡهِ تَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَۙ‏  ٤٨

Then We revealed the Book to you (O Muhammad!) with Truth, confirming whatever of the Book was revealed before, and protecting and guarding over it. Judge, then, in the affairs of men in accordance with the Law that Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires in disregard of the Truth which has come to you. For each of you We have appointed a Law and a way of life. And had Allah so willed, He would surely have made you one single community; instead, (He gave each of you a Law and a way of life) in order to test you by what He gave you. Vie, then, one with another in good works. Unto Allah is the return of all of you; and He will then make you understand the truth concerning the matters on which you disagreed.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir (aey Muhammad!) humne tumhari taraf yeh kitab bheji jo haqq lekar aayi hai aur al-kitab mein se jo kuch iske aagey maujood hai uski tasdeeq karne wali aur iski muhafiz o nigehban hai. Lihaza tum khuda ke nazil karda kanoon ke mutabiq logon ke maamlaat ka faisla karo aur jo haqq tumhare paas aaya hai ussey mooh moad kar inki khwahishat ki pairwi na karo. Humne tum mein se har ek keliye ek shariyat aur ek raah e amal muqarrar ki , agarche tumhara khuda chahta to tum sabko ek ummat bhi bana sakta tha, lekin usne yeh isliye kiya ke jo kuch usne tum logon ko diya hai usmein tumhari aazmaish karey, lihaza bhalaiyon mein ek dusre se sabaqat le janey ki koshish karo. Aakhir e kaar tum sab ko khuda ki taraf palat kar jana hai, phir woh tumhein asal haqeeqat bata dega jis mein tum ikhtilaf karte rahey ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاَنِ احۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَهُمۡ بِمَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ اَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَاحۡذَرۡهُمۡ اَنۡ يَّفۡتِنُوۡكَ عَنۡۢ بَعۡضِ مَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيۡكَ​ؕ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاعۡلَمۡ اَنَّمَا يُرِيۡدُ اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يُّصِيۡبَهُمۡ بِبَـعۡضِ ذُنُوۡبِهِمۡ​ؕ وَاِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ لَفٰسِقُوۡنَ‏ ٤٩

Therefore, judge bet-ween them (O Muhammad!) by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires, and beware lest they tempt you away from anything of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away, then know well that Allah has indeed decided to afflict them for some of their sins. For surely many of them are transgressors.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Pas (aey Muhammad)! Tum Allah ke nazil karda kanoon ke mutabiq in logon ke maamlaat ka faisla karo aur inki khwahishat ki pairwi na karo. Hoshiyar raho ke yeh log tumko fitne mein daal kar us hidayat se zarra barabar munharif na karne paye jo khuda ne tumhari taraf nazil ki hai.Phir agar yeh issey mooh moadein to jaan lo ke Allah ne inke baaz gunaahon ki padash mein inko mubtala e museebat karne ka irada hi karliya hai, aur yeh haqeeqat hai ke in logon mein se aksar faasiq hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اَفَحُكۡمَ الۡجَـاهِلِيَّةِ يَـبۡغُوۡنَ​ؕ وَمَنۡ اَحۡسَنُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ حُكۡمًا لِّـقَوۡمٍ يُّوۡقِنُوۡنَ‏ ٥٠

(If they turn away from the Law of Allah) do they desire judgement according to the Law of Ignorance? But for those who have certainty of belief whose judgement can be better than Allah's?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(agar yeh khuda ke kanoon se mooh moadte hain) to kya phir jahiliyat ka faisla chahte hain? Halanke jo log Allah par yaqeen rakhte hain unke nazdeek Allah se behtar faisla karne wala koi nahin hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الۡيَهُوۡدَ وَالنَّصٰرٰۤى اَوۡلِيَآءَ ​ۘ بَعۡضُهُمۡ اَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٍ​ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَلَّهُمۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ فَاِنَّهٗ مِنۡهُمۡ​ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِى الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٥١

Believers! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies. They are the allies of each other. And among you he who takes them for allies, shall be regarded as one of them. Allah does not guide the wrong-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho! Yahudiyon(Jews) aur Isaiyon (Christians) ko apna rafeeq (dost) na banao. Yeh aapas hi mein ek dusre ke rafeeq hain. Aur agar tum mein se koi inko apna rafeeq banata hai to uska shumar bhi phir inhi mein hai.Yaqeenan Allah zaalimon ko apni rehnumayi se mehroom kar deta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَتَـرَى الَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ مَّرَضٌ يُّسَارِعُوۡنَ فِيۡهِمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ نَخۡشٰٓى اَنۡ تُصِيۡبَـنَا دَآٮِٕرَةٌ​ ؕ فَعَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِىَ بِالۡفَتۡحِ اَوۡ اَمۡرٍ مِّنۡ عِنۡدِهٖ فَيُصۡبِحُوۡا عَلٰى مَاۤ اَسَرُّوۡا فِىۡۤ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ نٰدِمِيۡنَ ؕ‏ ٥٢

Indeed you see those afflicted with the disease of hypocrisy race towards them, saying: 'We fear lest some misfortune overtakes us. And it may happen that Allah will either bring you a decisive victory or bring about something else from Himself? and then they will feel remorseful at their hypocrisy which they have kept concealed in their breasts -

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum dekhte ho ke jinke dilon mein nifaq ki bimari hai woh unhi mein daud-dhoop karte phirte hain, kehte hain “humein darr lagta hai ke kahin hum kisi museebat ke chakkar mein na phans jayein” magar baeed nahin ke Allah jab tumhein faisla-kun fatah (decisive victory) bakshega ya apni taraf se koi aur baat zaahir karega to yeh log apne is nifaaq (hypocrisy) par jisey yeh dilon mein chupaye huey hain naadim honge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَيَقُوۡلُ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَهٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيۡنَ اَقۡسَمُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ جَهۡدَ اَيۡمَانِهِمۡ​ۙ اِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡ​ ؕ حَبِطَتۡ اَعۡمَالُهُمۡ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا خٰسِرِيۡنَ‏ ٥٣

while those who believe will exclaim: 'Are these the self-same people who solemnly swore by Allah that they were with you?' All their acts have gone to waste and now they are the losers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur us waqt ehle iman kahenge “kya yeh wahi log hain jo Allah ke naam se kadi kadi kasmein kha kar yaqeen dilate thay ke hum tumhare saath hain?” Unke sab aamal zaaya hogaye aur aakhir e kaar yeh nakaam o na-murad hokar rahey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مَنۡ يَّرۡتَدَّ مِنۡكُمۡ عَنۡ دِيۡـنِهٖ فَسَوۡفَ يَاۡتِى اللّٰهُ بِقَوۡمٍ يُّحِبُّهُمۡ وَيُحِبُّوۡنَهٗۤ ۙ اَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ اَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ يُجَاهِدُوۡنَ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَخَافُوۡنَ لَوۡمَةَ لَاۤٮِٕمٍ​ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ فَضۡلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤۡتِيۡهِ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ‏ ٥٤

Believers! If any of you should ever turn away from your faith, remember that Allah will raise up a people whom He loves, and who love Him; a people humble towards the believers, and firm towards the unbelievers; who will strive hard in the way of Allah and will not fear the reproach of the reproacher. This is the favour of Allah which He grants to whom He wills. Allah is vast in resources, All-Knowing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, agar tum mein se koi apne deen se phirta hai (to phir jaye) Allah aur bhut se log aisey paida kardega jo Allah ko mehboob honge aur Allah unko mehboob hoga, jo momino par narm aur kuffar par sakht honge, jo Allah ki raah mein jidd o jahad karenge aur kisi malamat karne waley ki malamat se na darenge. Yeh Allah ka fazal hai, jisey chahta hai ata karta hai. Allah waseeh zaraye ka malik hai aur sab kuch jaanta hai

Only Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe and who establish Prayer, pay Zakah, and bow (before Allah) are your allies.

وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَلَّ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوۡلَهٗ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا فَاِنَّ حِزۡبَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ‏ ٥٦

All those who take Allah and His Messenger and those who believe as their allies, should remember that the party of Allah will be triumphant.

Aur jo Allah aur uske Rasool aur ehle iman ko apna rafeeq bana lein usey maloom ho ke Allah ki jamaat hi gaalib rehne wali hai

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَـتَّخِذُوا الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّخَذُوۡا دِيۡنَكُمۡ هُزُوًا وَّلَعِبًا مِّنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَالۡـكُفَّارَ اَوۡلِيَآءَ​ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ٥٧

Believers! Do not take for your allies those who make a mockery and sport of your faith, be they those given the Book before you or other unbelievers. Fear Allah if you indeed believe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, tumhare peshraw ehle kitab mein se jin logon ne tumhare deen ko mazaq aur tafreeh ka samaan bana liya hai, unhein aur dusre kaafiron ko apna dost aur rafeeq na banao. Allah se daro agar tum momin ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَ اِذَا نَادَيۡتُمۡ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ اتَّخَذُوۡهَا هُزُوًا وَّلَعِبًا​ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٌ لَّا يَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ٥٨

And when you call for Prayer, they take it for a mockery and sport. That is because they are a people who do not understand.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab tum namaz keliye munadi (call) karte ho to woh iska mazaaq udate aur issey khelte hain. Iski wajah yeh hai ke woh aqal nahin rakhte

قُلۡ يٰۤـاَهۡلَ الۡـكِتٰبِ هَلۡ تَـنۡقِمُوۡنَ مِنَّاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَـيۡنَا وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۙ وَاَنَّ اَكۡثَرَكُمۡ فٰسِقُوۡنَ‏ ٥٩

Say to them: 'People of the Book! Do you hate us for anything else except that we believe in Allah, and in the teaching which has been revealed to us and in the teaching which was revealed before? Indeed most of you are transgressors.'

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insey kaho “Aey ehle kitaab! Tum jis baat par humse bigde ho (hate us) woh iske siwa aur kya hai ke hum Allah par aur deen ki us taleem par iman le aaye hain jo hamari taraf nazil hui hai aur humse pehle bhi nazil hui thi? Aur tum mein se aksar log fasiq hain.”

قُلۡ هَلۡ اُنَـبِّئُكُمۡ بِشَرٍّ مِّنۡ ذٰ لِكَ مَثُوۡبَةً عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ​ ؕ مَنۡ لَّعَنَهُ اللّٰهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُمُ الۡقِرَدَةَ وَالۡخَـنَازِيۡرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوۡتَ​ ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضَلُّ عَنۡ سَوَآءِ السَّبِيۡلِ‏  ٦٠

Then say to them: 'Shall I tell you about those whose retribution with Allah is even worse? They are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and who incurred His wrath and some of whom were changed into apes and swine, and who served the false deities. Such have an even worse rank and have strayed farther away from the right path.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir kaho “kya main un logon ki nishandahi karoon jinka anjaam khuda ke haan fasiqon ke anjam se bhi badhtar hai? Woh jinpar khuda ne lanat ki, jinpar uska gazab toota, jinmein se bandar aur suwar banaye gaye, jinhon ne taghut ki bandagi ki unka darja aur bhi zyada bura hai aur woh sawa-e-sabeel (right path) se bahut zyada bhatke huye hain”

Whenever they come to you they say: 'We believe,' whereas, in fact, they come disbelieving, and go away disbelieving, and Allah knows all that they hide.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab yeh tum logon ke paas aate hain to kehte hain ke hum iman laye, halanke kufr liye huey aaye thay aur kufr hi liye huye wapas gaye, aur Allah khoob jaanta hai jo kuch yeh dilon mein chupaye huey hain

Why is it that their scholars and jurists do not forbid them from sinful utterances and devouring unlawful earnings? Indeed they have been contriving evil.

Kyun inke ulema, aur mashahik (jursits) inhein gunaah par zubaan kholne aur haraam khane se nahin roakte? Yaqeenan bahut hi bura kaarnama e zindagi hai jo woh tayyar kar rahey hain

وَقَالَتِ الۡيَهُوۡدُ يَدُ اللّٰهِ مَغۡلُوۡلَةٌ​ ؕ غُلَّتۡ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَلُعِنُوۡا بِمَا قَالُوۡا​ ۘ بَلۡ يَدٰهُ مَبۡسُوۡطَتٰنِ ۙ يُنۡفِقُ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُ​ ؕ وَلَيَزِيۡدَنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡ مَّاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَانًا وَّكُفۡرًا​ ؕ وَاَ لۡقَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ الۡعَدَاوَةَ وَالۡبَغۡضَآءَ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِ​ ؕ كُلَّمَاۤ اَوۡقَدُوۡا نَارًا لِّلۡحَرۡبِ اَطۡفَاَهَا اللّٰهُ​ ۙ وَيَسۡعَوۡنَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ فَسَادًا​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الۡمُفۡسِدِيۡنَ‏ ٦٤

The Jews say: 'The Hand of Allah is fettered. It is their own hands which are fettered, and they stand cursed for the evil they have uttered. No! His Hands are outspread; He spends as He wills. Surely the message that has been revealed to you from your Lord has increased many of them in their in-surgence and unbelief, and so We have cast enmity and spite among them until the Day of Resurrection. And as often as they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it; and they go about trying to spread mischief on earth, whereas Allah does not love those who spread mischief.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yahudi kehte hain Allah ke haath bandhey huey hain. Baandhey gaye inke haath, aur laanat padi inpar us bakwas ki badaulat jo yeh karte hain. Allah ke haath to kushada hain, jis tarah chahta hai kharch karta hai. Haqeeqat yeh hai ke jo kalaam tumhare Rubb ki taraf se tumpar nazil hua hai woh inmein se aksar logon ki sarkashi o baatil parasti mein ultey izafey ka mujeeb ban gaya hai, aur (iski padash mein) humne inke darmiyan qayamat tak ke liye adawat aur dushmani daal di hai. Jab kabhi yeh jung ki aag bhadkate hain Allah usko thanda kardeta hai. Yeh zameen mein fasaad phaylane ki sai(try) kar rahey hain, magar Allah fasaad barpa karne walon ko hargiz pasand nahin karta

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَوۡ اَنَّ اَهۡلَ الۡـكِتٰبِ اٰمَنُوۡا وَاتَّقَوۡا لَـكَفَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِهِمۡ وَلَاَدۡخَلۡنٰهُمۡ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيۡمِ‏ ٦٥

Had the People of the Book only believed and been God-fearing, We should surely have effaced from them their evil deeds, and caused them to enter Gardens of Bliss.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar (is sarkashi ke bajaye) yeh ehle kitab iman le aate aur khuda tarsi ki rawish ikhtiyar karte to hum inki buraiyan insey door kardete aur inko niyamat bhari jannaton mein pahunchate

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَوۡ اَنَّهُمۡ اَقَامُوا التَّوۡرٰٮةَ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ لَاَ كَلُوۡا مِنۡ فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَمِنۡ تَحۡتِ اَرۡجُلِهِمۡ​ؕ مِنۡهُمۡ اُمَّةٌ مُّقۡتَصِدَةٌ​  ؕ وَكَثِيۡرٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ٦٦

Had the People of the Book observed the Torah and the Gospel, and all that had been revealed to them from their Lord, sustenance would have been showered over them from above and risen from beneath their feet. Some among them certainly keep to the right path; but many of them do things which are evil.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kaash inhon ne Taurat aur Injeel aur un dusri kitaabon ko qayam kiya hota jo inke Rubb ki taraf se inke paas bheji gayi thi. Aisa karte to inke liye upar se rizq barasta aur nichey se ubalta ,agarche inmein kuch log raast-ro bhi hain lekin inki aksariyat sakht badh-amal hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الرَّسُوۡلُ بَلِّغۡ مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ​ ؕ وَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلۡ فَمَا بَلَّغۡتَ رِسٰلَـتَهٗ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَعۡصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِى الۡقَوۡمَ الۡـكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ ٦٧

O Messenger! Deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord, for if you fail to do that, you have not fulfilled the task of His messengership. Allah will certainly protect you from the evil of men. Surely Allah will not guide the unbelievers (to succeed against you).

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey Paigambar! Jo kuch tumhare Rubb ki taraf se tumpar nazil kiya gaya hai woh logon tak pahuncha do , agar tumne aisa na kiya to uski paigambari ka haqq ada na kiya. Allah tumko logon ke sharr se bachaane wala hai. Yaqeen rakkho ke woh kafiron ko (tumhare muqable mein) kamiyabi ki raah hargiz na dikhayega

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ يٰۤـاَهۡلَ الۡـكِتٰبِ لَسۡتُمۡ عَلٰى شَىۡءٍ حَتّٰى تُقِيۡمُوا التَّوۡرٰٮةَ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ​ ؕ وَلَيَزِيۡدَنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡ مَّاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَانًا وَّكُفۡرًا​ۚ فَلَا تَاۡسَ عَلَى الۡقَوۡمِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ ٦٨

Say to them: 'People of the Book! You have no solid ground to stand on unless you establish the Torah and the Gospel and all that had been revealed to you from your Lord. Indeed the message revealed to you from your Lord will aggravate insurgence and unbelief in many of them. So do not grieve for those who disbelieve.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Saaf kehdo ke “ Aey ehle kitaab! Tum hargiz kisi asal par nahin ho jab tak ke Taurat aur Injeel aur un dusri kitabon ko qayam na karo jo tumhare Rubb ki taraf se nazil ki gayi hain”. Zaroor hai ke yeh farmaan jo tumpar nazil kiya gaya hai inmein se aksar ki sarkashi aur inkar ko aur zyada badha dega, magar inkar karne walon ke haal par kuch afsos na karo

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَالَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا وَالصَّابِـُٔـوۡنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰى مَنۡ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًـا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ‏ ٦٩

(Know well, none has an exclusive claim to the Truth.) For all those who believe in Allah and in the Last Day and do good deeds - be they either believers, Jews, Sabaeans or Christians - neither fear shall fall upon them, nor shall they have any reason to grieve.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

yaqeen jaano ke yahan ijara (exclusive claim to the truth) kisi ka bhi nahin hai) musalman ho ya yahudi, sabiy (sabiyans) hon ya Isayi (Christians), jo bhi Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman layega aur neik amal karega, beshak uske liye na kisi khauf ka muqaam hai na ranjj ka

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَقَدۡ اَخَذۡنَا مِيۡثَاقَ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ وَاَرۡسَلۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِمۡ رُسُلًا ؕ كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ ۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوٰٓى اَنۡفُسُهُمۙۡ فَرِيۡقًا كَذَّبُوۡا وَفَرِيۡقًا يَّقۡتُلُوۡنَ‏ ٧٠

And We took a covenant from the Children of Israel and sent to them many Messengers. But whenever any Messenger brought to them something that did not suit their desires, they gave the lie to some of them and killed the others,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne bani Israel se pukhta ahad liya aur unki taraf bahut se Rasool bheje, magar jab kabhi unke paas koi Rasool unki khwahishat e nafs ke khilaf kuch lekar aaya to kisi ko unhon ne jhutlaya aur kisi ko qatal kardiya
