His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over everything.

He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself on the Throne.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Wahi hai jisne aasmano aur zameen ko chey (six) dino mein paida kiya aur phir arsh par jalwa farma hua. Uske ilm mein hai jo kuch zameen mein jata hai aur jo kuch ussey nikalta hai, aur jo kuch aasman se utarta hai aur jo kuch usmein chadhta hai. Woh tumhare saath hai jahan bhi tum ho. Jo kaam bhi karte ho usey woh dekh raha hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ وَاَنۡفِقُوۡا مِمَّا جَعَلَـكُمۡ مُّسۡتَخۡلَفِيۡنَ فِيۡهِؕ فَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مِنۡكُمۡ وَاَنۡفَقُوۡا لَهُمۡ اَجۡرٌ كَبِيۡرٌ‏ ٧

Believe in Allah and in His Messenger and expend of what He has entrusted to you. A great reward awaits those of you who believe and spend their wealth.

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا لَـكُمۡ لَا تُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِۚ وَالرَّسُوۡلُ يَدۡعُوۡكُمۡ لِتُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِرَبِّكُمۡ وَقَدۡ اَخَذَ مِيۡثَاقَكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ٨

How is it that you do not believe in Allah when the Messenger calls you to believe in your Lord and although he has taken a covenant from you, if indeed you are believers?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumhein kya ho gaya hai ke tum Allah par iman nahin latey halanke Rasool tumhein apne Rubb par iman laney ki dawat de raha hai, aur woh tumse ahad (covenant) le chuka hai, agar tum waqayi maanne waley ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

هُوَ الَّذِىۡ يُنَزِّلُ عَلٰى عَبۡدِهٖۤ اٰيٰتٍۭ بَيِّنٰتٍ لِّيُخۡرِجَكُمۡ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوۡرِؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُمۡ لَرَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ٩

He it is Who sends down Clear Signs to His servant so as to bring you out from darkness into light. Surely Allah is Most Kind and Most Compassionate to you.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh Allah hi to hai jo apne banday par saaf saaf aayatein nazil kar raha hai taa-ke tumhein tareekhiyon (darkness) se nikal kar roshni mein le aaye. Aur haqeeat yeh hai ke Allah tumpar nihayat shafeeq aur meharbaan hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَ مَا لَـكُمۡ اَلَّا تُنۡفِقُوۡا فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَلِلّٰهِ مِيۡـرَاثُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِؕ لَا يَسۡتَوِىۡ مِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ اَنۡفَقَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ الۡفَتۡحِ وَقَاتَلَ ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَعۡظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَنۡفَقُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدُ وَقَاتَلُوۡا ؕ وَكُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللّٰهُ الۡحُسۡنٰىؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ‏ ١٠

How is it that you do not expend in the Way of Allah when to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Those who spent their wealth and took part in fighting before the Victory cannot be equated (with those who spent their wealth and took part in fighting afterwards). They are higher in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to each Allah has promised a good reward. Allah is well aware of all that you do.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aakhir kya wajah hai ke tum Allah ki raah mein kharch nahin karte halanke zameen aur aasmano ki miraas (inheritance) Allah hi ke liye hai. Tum mein se jo log fatah ke baad kharch aur jihad karenge woh kabhi un logon ke barabar nahin ho sakte jinhon ne fatah se pehle kharch aur jihad kiya hai.Unka darja baad mein kharch aur jihad karne walon se badh-kar hai hai agarche Allah ne dono hi se acchey waade famaye hain. Jo kuch tum karte ho Allah ussey ba-khabar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يُقۡرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَهٗ لَهٗ وَلَهٗۤ اَجۡرٌ كَرِيۡمٌ ۚ‏ ١١

Who is it that will give Allah a beautiful loan? A loan that Allah will repay after increasing it many times and grant him a generous reward.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kaun hai jo Allah ko qarz dey? Accha qarz taa-ke Allah usey kai gunaa bada kar wapas dey. Aur uske liye behtareen ajar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَوۡمَ تَرَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ يَسۡعٰى نُوۡرُهُمۡ بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَبِاَيۡمَانِهِمۡ بُشۡرٰٮكُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُۚ‏ ١٢

On that Day you will see believing men and women that their light will be running before them and on their right hands. (They will be told): “A good tiding to you today.” There shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow; therein they shall abide. That indeed is the great triumph.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Us din jabke tum momin mardon aur auraton ko dekhoge ke unka noor unke aagey aagey aur unke dayein jaanib daud raha hoga (unse kaha jayega ke) aaj basharat (khushkhabri) hai. Tumhare liye jannatein hongi jinke nichey nehrein beh rahi hongi, jin mein woh hamesha rahenge. Yahi hai badi kamiyabi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَوۡمَ يَقُوۡلُ الۡمُنٰفِقُوۡنَ وَالۡمُنٰفِقٰتُ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا انْظُرُوۡنَا نَقۡتَبِسۡ مِنۡ نُّوۡرِكُمۡۚ قِيۡلَ ارۡجِعُوۡا وَرَآءَكُمۡ فَالۡتَمِسُوۡا نُوۡرًاؕ فَضُرِبَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ بِسُوۡرٍ لَّهٗ بَابٌؕ بَاطِنُهٗ فِيۡهِ الرَّحۡمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهٗ مِنۡ قِبَلِهِ الۡعَذَابُؕ‏ ١٣

On that Day the hypocrites, both men and women, shall say to the believers: “Look at us that we may extract some light from your light.” They will be told: “Go back and seek light for yourselves elsewhere.” Then a wall shall be erected between them with a door in it. On the inside of it there will be mercy, and on the outside of it there will be chastisement.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Us roz munafik mardon aur auraton ka haal yeh hoga ke woh momino se kahenge zara hamari taraf dekho taa-ke hum tumhare noor se kuch fayda uthayein. Magar unse kaha jayega pichey hatt jao, Apna noor kahin aur talash karo. Phir unke darmiyan ek deewar hayal kardi jayegi jismein ek darwaza hoga us darwaze ke andar rehmat hogi aur bahar azaab

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يُنَادُوۡنَهُمۡ اَلَمۡ نَكُنۡ مَّعَكُمۡؕ قَالُوۡا بَلٰى وَلٰـكِنَّكُمۡ فَتَنۡتُمۡ اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ وَ تَرَبَّصۡتُمۡ وَارۡتَبۡتُمۡ وَغَرَّتۡكُمُ الۡاَمَانِىُّ حَتّٰى جَآءَ اَمۡرُ اللّٰهِ وَ غَرَّكُمۡ بِاللّٰهِ الۡغَرُوۡرُ‏ ١٤

The hypocrites will call out to the believers: “Were we not with you?” The believers will reply: “Yes; but you allowed yourselves to succumb to temptations, and you wavered and you remained in doubt and false expectations deluded you until Allah's command came to pass, and the Deluder deluded you concerning Allah.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh momino se pukar pukar kar kahenge kya hum tumhare saath na thay? Momin jawab dengey haan, magar tumne apne aap ko khud fitne mein dala, mauqa parasti ki, shakk mein padey rahey, aur jhooti tawakkuat (expectations) tumhein fareb deti rahi Yahan tak ke Allah ka faisla aa gaya. Aur aakhri waqt tak woh bada dhoke baaz tumhein Allah ke maamle mein dhoka deta raha

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَالۡيَوۡمَ لَا يُؤۡخَذُ مِنۡكُمۡ فِدۡيَةٌ وَّلَا مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡاؕ مَاۡوٰٮكُمُ النَّارُؕ هِىَ مَوۡلٰٮكُمۡؕ وَبِئۡسَ الۡمَصِيۡرُ‏ ١٥

So no ransom shall be accepted from you today, nor from those who disbelieved. You are destined for the Fire. That will be your guardian. And that indeed is a grievous destination.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Lihaza aaj na tumse koi fidiya kabool kiya jayega aur na un logon se jinhon ne khula khula kufr kiya tha. Tumhara thikana jahannum hai. Wahi tumhari khabar-giri karne wali hai aur yeh badtareen anjaam hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اَلَمۡ يَاۡنِ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَنۡ تَخۡشَعَ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ لِذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الۡحَـقِّۙ وَلَا يَكُوۡنُوۡا كَالَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡاَمَدُ فَقَسَتۡ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡؕ وَكَثِيۡرٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ فٰسِقُوۡنَ‏ ١٦

Is the time not come that the hearts of the believers should be humbled to Allah's remembrance and to the Truth that He has revealed, and that they should not be like those who were vouchsafed the Book and then a long time elapsed so that their hearts were hardened? A great many of them are now evil-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya iman laney walon ke liye abhi woh waqt nahin aaya ke unke dil Allah ke zikr se pighlein aur uske nazil karda haqq ke aagey jhukein aur woh un logon ki tarah na ho jayein jinhein pehle kitaab di gayi thi, phir ek lambi muddat unpar guzar gayi to unke dil sakht ho gaye aur aaj unmein se aksar fasiq banay huey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحۡىِ الۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاؕ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الۡاٰيٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ١٧

Know well that Allah revives the earth after it becomes lifeless. We have clearly shown Our Signs to you, perchance you will use your reason.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Khoob jaan lo ke Allah zameen ko uski maut ke baad zindagi bakshta hai, humne nishaniyan tumko saaf saaf dikha di hai, shayad ke tum aqal se kaam lo

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ الۡمُصَّدِّقِيۡنَ وَالۡمُصَّدِّقٰتِ وَاَقۡرَضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا يُّضٰعَفُ لَهُمۡ وَلَهُمۡ اَجۡرٌ كَرِيۡمٌ‏ ١٨

Verily those who give alms be they men or women, and give Allah a beautiful loan shall be repaid after increasing it many times; and theirs shall be a generous reward.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Mardon aur auraton mein se jo log sadaqaat (charity) dene waley hain aur jinhon ne Allah ko karz-e-hasan diya hai, unko yakeenan kayi gunaa bada kar diya jayega aur unke liye behtareen ajar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖۤ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيۡقُوۡنَۖ وَالشُّهَدَآءُ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡؕ لَهُمۡ اَجۡرُهُمۡ وَنُوۡرُهُمۡؕ وَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَكَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏ ١٩

In Allah's sight only those who truly believe in Allah and His Messengers are utterly truthful and true bearers of witness(for the sake of Allah). For them is their reward and their light. As for those who gave the lie to Our Signs, they are the people of Hell.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur jo log Allah aur uske Rasoolon par iman laye hain wahi apne Rubb ke nazdeek siddiq aur shaheed hain. Unke liye unka ajar aur unka noor hai. Aur jin logon ne kufr kiya hai aur hamari aayat ko jhutlaya hai woh dozakhi hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّمَا الۡحَيٰوةُ الدُّنۡيَا لَعِبٌ وَّلَهۡوٌ وَّزِيۡنَةٌ وَّتَفَاخُرٌۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِى الۡاَمۡوَالِ وَالۡاَوۡلَادِؕ كَمَثَلِ غَيۡثٍ اَعۡجَبَ الۡكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهٗ ثُمَّ يَهِيۡجُ فَتَرٰٮهُ مُصۡفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُوۡنُ حُطٰمًاؕ وَفِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيۡدٌ ۙ وَّمَغۡفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضۡوَانٌؕ وَمَا الۡحَيٰوةُ الدُّنۡيَاۤ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الۡغُرُوۡرِ‏ ٢٠

Know well that the life of this world is merely sport and diversion and adornment and an object of your boasting with one another, and a rivalry in the multiplication of riches and children. Its likeness is that of rain: when it produces vegetation it delights the tillers. But then it withers and you see it turn yellow, and then it crumbles away. In the Hereafter there is (either) grievous chastisement (or) forgiveness from Allah and (His) good pleasure. The life of this world is nothing but delusion.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Khoob jaan lo ke yeh duniya ki zindagi iske siwa kuch nahin ke ek khel aur dil-lagi aur zaahiri tip top aur tumhara aapas mein ek dusre par fakr jatana aur maal-o-aulad mein ek dusre se badh janey ki koshish karna hai.Iski misal aisi hai jaise ek baarish ho gayi to usse paida honay wali nabataat(vegetation) ko dekh kar kaasht-kaar (kisan) khush ho gaye. Phir wahi kheti pak jati hai aur tum dekhte ho ke woh zard (yellow) ho gayi phir woh bhus (chura chura /crumble) bankar reh jati hai. Iske baraks aakhirat woh jagah hai jahan sakht azaab hai aur Allah ki magfirat aur uski khushnudi hai. Dunkya ki zindagi ek dhoke ke tatti (means of deception) ke siwa kuch nahin

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

سَابِقُوۡۤا اِلٰى مَغۡفِرَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرۡضُهَا كَعَرۡضِ السَّمَآءِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِۙ اُعِدَّتۡ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖؕ ذٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤۡتِيۡهِ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُو الۡفَضۡلِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ‏ ٢١

So vie with one another in seeking to attain your Lord's forgiveness and a Garden whose width is as the width of the heaven and the earth, one which has been prepared for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers. That is Allah's bounty which He bestows upon those whom He pleases. Allah is the Lord of abounding bounty.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Daudo (race) aur ek dusrey se aage badhne ki koshish karo apne Rubb ki magfirat aur uski jannat ki taraf jiski wussat (width) aasman-o-zameen jaisi hai. Jo muhayya ki gayi hai un logon ke liye jo Allah aur uske Rasoolon par iman laye hon. Yeh Allah ka fazl hai, jisey chahta hai ata farmata hai, aur Allah badey fazl wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

مَاۤ اَصَابَ مِنۡ مُّصِيۡبَةٍ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَا فِىۡۤ اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ اِلَّا فِىۡ كِتٰبٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِ اَنۡ نَّبۡـرَاَهَا ؕ اِنَّ ذٰ لِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيۡرٌۚ ۖ‏ ٢٢

No misfortune ever befalls on earth, nor on yourselves but We have inscribed it in the Book before We make it manifest. Surely that is easy for Allah.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Koi museebat aisi nahin hai jo zameen mein ya tumhare apne nafs par nazil hoti ho aur humne usko paida karne se pehle ek kitaab mein likh na rakkha ho. Aisa karna Allah ke liye bahut aasaan kaam hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لِّـكَيۡلَا تَاۡسَوۡا عَلٰى مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَفۡرَحُوۡا بِمَاۤ اٰتٰٮكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخۡتَالٍ فَخُوۡرِۙ‏ ٢٣

(We do so) that you may not grieve over the loss you suffer, nor exult over what He gave you. Allah does not love the vainglorious, the boastful,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Yeh sab kuch isliye hai) taa-ke jo kuch bhi nuksaan tumhein ho us par tum dil-shikasta (grieve) na hon aur jo kuch Allah tumhein ata farmaye uspar phool na jao. Allah aisey logon ko pasand nahin karta jo apne aap ko badi cheez samajhte hain aur fakr jatate hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اۨلَّذِيۡنَ يَبۡخَلُوۡنَ وَيَاۡمُرُوۡنَ النَّاسَ بِالۡبُخۡلِؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَلَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الۡغَنِىُّ الۡحَمِيۡدُ‏ ٢٤

those who are niggardly and bid others to be niggardly. And he who turns away, (should know that) Allah is Self-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jo khud bukhl (niggard/kanjusi) karte hain aur dusron ko bukhl par uksate hain. Ab agar koi ru-gardani (mooh pherna) karta hai to Allah be-niyaz aur satoda siffat (immensely praiseworthy) hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَـقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ وَاَنۡزَلۡنَا مَعَهُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ لِيَقُوۡمَ النَّاسُ بِالۡقِسۡطِۚ وَاَنۡزَلۡنَا الۡحَـدِيۡدَ فِيۡهِ بَاۡسٌ شَدِيۡدٌ وَّمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَـعۡلَمَ اللّٰهُ مَنۡ يَّنۡصُرُهٗ وَ رُسُلَهٗ بِالۡغَيۡبِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيۡزٌ‏ ٢٥

Indeed We sent Our Messengers with Clear Signs, and sent down with them the Book and the Balance that people may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, wherein there is awesome power and many benefits for people, so that Allah may know who, without even having seen Him, helps Him and His Messengers. Surely Allah is Most Strong, Most Mighty.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne apne Rasoolon ko saaf saaf nishaniyon aur hidayaat ke saath bheja, aur unke saath kitaab aur mizaan (balance) nazil ki taakay log insaf par qayam hon. Aur loha (Iron) utara jis mein bada zoar hai aur logon ke liye munafa hai. Yeh isliye kiya gaya hai ke Allah ko maloom ho jaye ke kaun usko dekhe bagair uski aur uske rasoolon ki madad karta hai. Yaqeenan Allah badi quwwat wala aur zabardast hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوۡحًا وَّ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِىۡ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا النُّبُوَّةَ وَالۡـكِتٰبَ فَمِنۡهُمۡ مُّهۡتَدٍۚ وَكَثِيۡرٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ فٰسِقُوۡنَ‏ ٢٦

Indeed We sent forth Noah and Abraham and established in their line Prophecy and the Book. Then some of them embraced the guidance and many of them are wicked.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne Nooh aur Ibrahim ko bheja aur un dono ki nasal mein nabuwat aur kitaab rakh di phir unki aulad mein se kisi ne hidayat ikhtiyar ki aur bahut se faasiq ho gaye

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ثُمَّ قَفَّيۡنَا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمۡ بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيۡنَا بِعِيۡسَى ابۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُ الۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ ۙ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّبَعُوۡهُ رَاۡفَةً وَّرَحۡمَةً ؕ وَرَهۡبَانِيَّةَ اۨبۡتَدَعُوۡهَا مَا كَتَبۡنٰهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ اِلَّا ابۡتِغَآءَ رِضۡوَانِ اللّٰهِ فَمَا رَعَوۡهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا ۚ فَاٰتَيۡنَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ اَجۡرَهُمۡۚ وَكَثِيۡرٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ فٰسِقُوۡنَ‏ ٢٧

In their wake, We sent a succession of Our Messengers, and raised Jesus, son of Mary, after all of them, and bestowed upon him the Evangel, and We set tenderness and mercy in the hearts of those that followed him. As for monasticism, it is they who invented it; We did not prescribe it for them. They themselves invented it in pursuit of Allah's good pleasure, and then they did not observe it as it ought to have been observed. So We gave their reward to those of them that believed. But many of them are wicked.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unke baad humne pai dar pai (succession) apne Rasool bheje, aur in sabke baad Isa ibn-e-Maryam ko maboos kiya aur usko Injil ata ki, aur jin logon ne uski pairvi ikhtiyar ki unke dilon mein humne taras (tenderness ) aur reham daal diya. Aur rahbaniyat (monasticism) unhon ne khud ijaad karli, humne usey unpar farz nahin kiya tha. Magar Allah ki khushnudi ki talab mein unhon ne aap hi yeh bidaat nikali aur phir iski pabandi karne ka jo haqq tha usey ada na kiya. Unmein se jo log iman laye huye thay unka ajr humne unko ata kiya, magar unmein se aksar log faasiq hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاٰمِنُوۡا بِرَسُوۡلِهٖ يُؤۡتِكُمۡ كِفۡلَيۡنِ مِنۡ رَّحۡمَتِهٖ وَيَجۡعَلْ لَّـكُمۡ نُوۡرًا تَمۡشُوۡنَ بِهٖ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَـكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ۙۚ‏ ٢٨

Believers, have fear of Allah and believe in His Messenger, and He will grant you a two-fold portion of His Mercy, and will appoint for you a light whereby you shall walk; and He will forgive you. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, Allah se daro aur uske Rasool par iman lao. Allah tumhein apni Rehmat ka dohra hissa ata farmyega aur tumhein wahi noor bakhshega jiski roshni mein tum chaloge, aur tumhare kasoor maaf kardega.Allah bada maaf karne wala aur meharbaan hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لِّـئَلَّا يَعۡلَمَ اَهۡلُ الۡكِتٰبِ اَلَّا يَقۡدِرُوۡنَ عَلٰى شَىۡءٍ مِّنۡ فَضۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنَّ الۡفَضۡلَ بِيَدِ اللّٰهِ يُؤۡتِيۡهِ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوۡ الۡفَضۡلِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ‏ ٢٩

(You should do this) so that the People of the Book know that they have no control over Allah's Bounty, and that all bounty is in Allah's Hand; He bestows it on whomsoever He pleases. Allah is the Lord of abounding bounty.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Tumko yeh rawish ikhtiyar karni chahiye) taa-ke ehle kitaab ko maalom ho jaye ke Allah ke fazal par unka koi ijara (control/ikhtiyar) nahin hai, aur yeh ke Allah ka fazal uske apne hi haath mein hai, Jisey chahta hai ata farmata hai. Aur woh badey fazal(bounty) wala hai
