سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِۚ وَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ‏ ١

All that is in the heavens and all that is on earth extols Allah's glory. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ki tasbeeh ki hai har us cheez ne jo aasmano aur zameen mein hai, Aur woh ghalib (Mighty) aur Hakeem (wise) hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لِمَ تَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُوۡنَ‏ ٢

Believers, why do you profess that which you do not practise?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, tum kyun woh baat kehte ho jo karte nahin ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ اَنۡ تَقُوۡلُوۡا مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُوۡنَ‏ ٣

It is most loathsome in the sight of Allah that you should profess what you do not practise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ke nazdeek yeh sakht na pasandeeda harakat hai ke tum kaho woh baat jo karte nahin

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِيۡنَ يُقَاتِلُوۡنَ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِهٖ صَفًّا كَاَنَّهُمۡ بُنۡيَانٌ مَّرۡصُوۡصٌ‏ ٤

Allah indeed loves those who fight in His Way as though they are a solid wall cemented with molten lead.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ko to pasand woh log hain jo uski raah mein is tarah saff-basta(row) hokar ladte hain goya ke woh ek sisa pilayi hui deewar hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِذۡ قَالَ مُوۡسٰى لِقَوۡمِهٖ يٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تُؤۡذُوۡنَنِىۡ وَقَد تَّعۡلَمُوۡنَ اَنِّىۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيۡكُمۡؕ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوۡۤا اَزَاغَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوۡبَهُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهۡدِى الۡقَوۡمَ الۡفٰسِقِيۡنَ‏ ٥

And call to mind when Moses said to his people: “O my people, why do you torment me when you know well that I am Allah's Messenger to you?” So when they deviated, Allah made their hearts deviant. Allah does not direct the evil-doers to the Right Way.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yaad karo Moosa ki woh baat jo usne apni qaum se kahi thi “Aey meri qaum ke logon, tum kyun mujhey aziyat (torment /harm) dete ho halaanke tum khoob jaante ho ke main tumhari taraf Allah ka bheja hua Rasool hoon? Phir jab unhon ne tedh ikhtiyar ki (deviated) to Allah ne unke dil tedhey (deviant) kardiye, Allah faasiqon ko hidayat nahin deta

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِذۡ قَالَ عِيۡسَى ابۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ يٰبَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ اِنِّىۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيۡكُمۡ مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ التَّوۡرٰٮةِ وَمُبَشِّرًۢا بِرَسُوۡلٍ يَّاۡتِىۡ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِى اسۡمُهٗۤ اَحۡمَدُؕ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ قَالُوۡا هٰذَا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ‏ ٦

And call to mind when Jesus, son of Mary, said: “O Children of Israel, I am Allah's Messenger to you, I verify the Torah which has come before me, and I give you the glad tiding of a Messenger who shall come after me, his name being Ahmad.” Yet when he came to them with Clear Signs they said: “This is sheer trickery.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yaad karo Isa ibn-e-Maryam ki woh baat jo usne kahi thi ke “Aey bani Israel, main tumhari taraf Allah ka bheja hua Rasool hoon, Tasdeeq (verify/confirm) karne wala hoon us Taurat ki jo mujhse pehle aayi hui maujood hai, aur basharat (khushkhabri) dene wala hoon ek rasool ki jo mere baad aayega jiska naam Ahmed hoga. Magar jab woh unke paas khuli khuli nishaniyan lekar aaya to unhon ne kaha yeh to sareeh dhoka hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَـرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ الۡكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدۡعٰٓى اِلَى الۡاِسۡلَامِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهۡدِى الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ٧

Who would be more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah the while he is being called to Islam? Allah does not direct such evildoing folk to the Right Way.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ab bhala us shaks se bada zaalim aur kaun hoga jo Allah par jhutey bohtan bandhey halaanke usey Islam (Allah ke aagey sar-e-itaat jhuka deney) ki dawat di ja rahi ho? Aisey zaalimon ko Allah hidayat nahin diya karta

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يُرِيۡدُوۡنَ لِيُطۡفِــُٔـوۡا نُوۡرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَ فۡوَاهِهِمْ وَاللّٰهُ مُتِمُّ نُوۡرِهٖ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ‏ ٨

They seek to extinguish Allah's light (by blowing) with their mouths, but Allah shall spread His light in all its fullness, howsoever the unbelievers may abhor this.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh log apni mooh ki phoonkon (blows) se Allah ke noor ko bujhana chahte hain, Aur Allah ka faisla yeh hai ke wo apne noor ko poora phayla kar rahega khwa kaafiron ko yeh kitna hi nagawar ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

هُوَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَرۡسَلَ رَسُوۡلَهٗ بِالۡهُدٰى وَدِيۡنِ الۡحَـقِّ لِيُظۡهِرَهٗ عَلَى الدِّيۡنِ كُلِّهٖ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ الۡمُشۡرِكُوۡنَ‏ ٩

He it is Who has sent forth the Messenger with the Guidance and the True Religion that He may make it prevail over all religion, however those that associate aught with Allah in His Divinity might dislike this.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Wahi to hai jisne apne Rasool ko hidayat aur deen-e-haqq ke saath bheja hai taa-ke usey poorey ke poorey deen par ghalib karde khwa mushrikeen ko yeh kitna hi nagawar ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا هَلۡ اَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلٰى تِجَارَةٍ تُنۡجِيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ اَلِيۡمٍ‏ ١٠

Believers, shall I direct you to a commerce that will deliver you from a grievous chastisement?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, main bataoon tumko wo tijarat jo tumhein azaab-e-aleem se bacha de

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

تُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ وَتُجَاهِدُوۡنَ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمۡوَالِكُمۡ وَاَنۡفُسِكُمۡؕ ذٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ لَّـكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ‏ ١١

Have faith in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the Way of Allah with your possessions and your lives. That is better for you if you only knew.

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَغۡفِرۡ لَـكُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَكُمۡ وَيُدۡخِلۡكُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ وَمَسٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِىۡ جَنّٰتِ عَدۡنٍؕ ذٰلِكَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُۙ‏ ١٢

He will forgive you your sins and will admit you to Gardens beneath which rivers flow. He will lodge you in excellent mansions in the Gardens of eternity. That is the supreme triumph.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah tumhare gunaah maaf kardega, aur tumko aisey baaghon mein daakhil karega jinke nichey nehrein behti hongi, aur abadi (eternal) qayaam ki jannaton mein behtareen ghar tumhein ata farmaeyga. Yeh hai badi kamiyabi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاُخۡرٰى تُحِبُّوۡنَهَا ؕ نَصۡرٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَـتۡحٌ قَرِيۡبٌ ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ١٣

He will also grant you the other favour that you desire: help from Allah and a victory that will come soon. Give glad tidings of this to the believers.

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُوۡنُوۡۤا اَنۡصَارَ اللّٰهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيۡسَى ابۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ لِلۡحَوٰارِيّٖنَ مَنۡ اَنۡصَارِىۡۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِؕ قَالَ الۡحَـوٰرِيُّوۡنَ نَحۡنُ اَنۡصَارُ اللّٰهِ فَاٰمَنَتۡ طَّآٮِٕفَةٌ مِّنۡۢ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ وَكَفَرَتۡ طَّآٮِٕفَةٌ ۚ فَاَيَّدۡنَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا عَلٰى عَدُوِّهِمۡ فَاَصۡبَحُوۡا ظٰهِرِيۡنَ‏ ١٤

Believers, become Allah's helpers, as Jesus, son of Mary, said to the disciples: “Who is my helper in (calling people) to Allah?” The disciples had responded by saying: “We are Allah's helpers.” Then a section of the Children of Israel believed and a section rejected the call. Thereafter We aided the believers against their enemies, and they prevailed.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, Allah ke madadgaar bano , jis tarah Isa ibn-e-Maryam ne hawariyon (disciples) ko khitaab karke kaha tha “Kaun hai Allah ki taraf (bulane) mein mera madadgaar”. Aur hawariyon (disciples) ne jawab diya tha : “hum hai Allah ke madadgaar”. Us waqt bani Israel ka ek giroh iman laya aur dusre giroh ne inkar kiya. Phir humne iman laney walon ki unke dushmano ke muqable mein taeed ki (aided) aur wahi ghalib hokar rahey
