What will be the different ways or situations through which we will be tested or put to trial by Allah?

وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ وَٱلۡجُوعِ وَنَقۡصٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰلِ وَٱلۡأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَٰتِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ١٥٥

We shall certainly test you by afflicting you with fear, hunger, loss of properties and lives and fruits. Give glad tidings, then, to those who remain patient;

Aur hum zaroor tumhein khauf o khatar , faaqa kashi (bhook), jaan o maal ke nuqsanaat aur aamadaniyon ke ghatey(nuqsaan) mein mubtila karke tumhari aazmaish karenge

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَيَبۡلُوَنَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنَ ٱلصَّيۡدِ تَنَالُهُۥٓ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَرِمَاحُكُمۡ لِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَخَافُهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٩٤

Believers! Allah will surely try you with a game which will be within the range of your hands and lances so that He might mark out those who fear Him, even though He is beyond the reach of human perception. A painful chastisement awaits whosoever transgresses after that the bounds set by Allah.

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, Allah tumhein us shikar ke zariye se sakht aazmaish mein daalega jo bilkul tumhare haathon aur neizon(lances) ki zadh mein hoga, yeh dekhne ke liye ke tum mein se kaun ussey gayibana darta hai, phir jisne is tambeeh (warning) ke baad Allah ki muqarrar ki hui hadh se tajawuz kiya uske liye dardnaak saza hai

وَكَذَٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعۡضَهُم بِبَعۡضٖ لِّيَقُولُوٓاْ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنۢ بَيۡنِنَآۗ أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعۡلَمَ بِٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ٥٣

Thus We have made some of them a means for testing others so that they should say: 'Are these the ones among us upon whom Allah has bestowed His favour?' Yes, does Allah not know well who are the thankful ?

Dar-asal humne is tarah in logon mein se baaz ko baaz ke zariye se aazmaish mein dala hai taa-ke woh inhein dekh kar kahein “ kya yeh hain woh log jinpar hamare darmiyan Allah ka fazal o karam hua hai?” Haan ! kya khuda apne shukar guzar bandon ko inse zyada nahin jaanta hai

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَكُمۡ خَلَٰٓئِفَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٖ دَرَجَٰتٖ لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِي مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ ١٦٥

For He it is Who has appointed you vicegerent over the earth, and has exalted some of you over others in rank that He may try you in what He has bestowed upon you. Indeed, your Lord is swift in retribution, and He is certainly All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

Wahi hai jisne tumko zameen ka khalifa banaya, aur tum mein se baaz ko baaz ke muqable mein zyada buland darje diya, taa-ke jo kuch tumko diya hai usi mein tumhari aazmaish karey. Behsak tumhara Rubb saza dene mein bhi bahut tez hai aur bahut darguzar karne aur reham farmane wala bhi hai

قَالُوٓاْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَأۡتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جِئۡتَنَاۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يُهۡلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمۡ وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيۡفَ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٢٩

The people of Moses replied: 'We were oppressed before your coming to us and after it.' Moses said: 'Your Lord will soon destroy your enemy and make you rulers in the land. Then He will see how you act.'

Uski qaum ke logon ne kaha “tere aane se pehle bhi hum sataye jatey thay aur ab tere aane par bhi sataye jaa rahey hain”. Usne jawab diya “qareeb hai woh waqt ke tumhara Rubb tumhare dushman ko halaak karde aur tumko zameen mein khalifa banaye. Phir dekhe ke tum kaise amal karte ho”

وَإِذۡ أَنجَيۡنَٰكُم مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَسُومُونَكُمۡ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَيَسۡتَحۡيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمۡۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ عَظِيمٞ ١٤١

And call to mind when We delivered you from Pharaoh's people who perpetrated on you a terrible torment, putting your males to death and sparing your females. Surely in it there was an awesome trial for you from your Lord.

Aur (Allah farmata hai) woh waqt yaad karo jab humne Firoun walon se tumhein nijaat di jinka haal yeh tha ke tumhein sakht azaab mein mubtila rakhte thay, tumhare beton (sons) ko qatal karte aur tumhari auraton ko zinda rehne dete thay aur is mein tumhare Rubb ki taraf se tumhari badi aazmaish thi

وَقَطَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أُمَمٗاۖ مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ وَمِنۡهُمۡ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَبَلَوۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَسَنَٰتِ وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ١٦٨

And We dispersed them through the earth in communities - some were righteous, others were not -and We tested them with prosperity and adversity that they may turn back (to righteousness).

Humne unko zameen mein tukde tukde karke bahut se qaumon mein taqseem kardiya, kuch log inmein neik thay aur kuch issey mukhtalif aur hum unko acchey aur burey halaat se aazmaish mein mubtila karte rahey ke shayad yeh palat aayein

وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَآ أَمۡوَٰلُكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُكُمۡ فِتۡنَةٞ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ ٢٨

Know well that your belongings and your children are but a trial, and that with Allah there is a mighty reward.

Aur jaan rakkho ke tumhare maal aur tumhari aulad haqeeqat mein samaan e aazmaish hain aur Allah ke paas ajar dene ke liye bahut kuch hai

أَوَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّهُمۡ يُفۡتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٖ مَّرَّةً أَوۡ مَرَّتَيۡنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٢٦

[9:126] Do they not see that they are tried every year once or twice? Yet they neither repent nor take heed.

Kya yeh log dekhte nahin ke har saal do martaba yeh aazmaish mein daley jatey hain? Magar ispar bhi na tawba karte hain na koi sabaq (lesson) letey hain

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ ١٣١

Do not turn your eyes covetously towards the embellishments of worldly life that We have bestowed upon various kinds of people to test them. But the clean provision bestowed upon you by your Lord is better and more enduring.

Aur nigah utha kar bhi na dekho duniyavi zindagi ki us shaan o shaukat ko jo humne in mein se mukhtalif kism ke logon ko de rakkhi hai, woh to humne unhein aazmaish mein daalne ke liye di hai, aur tere Rubb ka diya hua rizq e halal hi behtar aur paaindatar (more lasting) hai

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَنَبۡلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةٗۖ وَإِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ ٣٥

Every living being shall taste death and We shall subject you to ill and good by way of trial, and to Us shall all of you be eventually sent back.

Har jaandaar ko maut ka maza chakhna hai, aur hum acchey aur burey halaat mein daal kar tum sabki aazmaish kar rahey hain, aakhir-e-kaar tumhein hamari hi taraf palatna hai

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ لَيَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمۡشُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡوَاقِۗ وَجَعَلۡنَا بَعۡضَكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٖ فِتۡنَةً أَتَصۡبِرُونَۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرٗا ٢٠

(O Muhammad), We never sent any Messengers before you but they ate food and walked about in the markets. We made some of you a means to test each by the other to see whether you remain patient. Your Lord is All-Seeing.

(Aey Muhammad), tumse pehle jo Rasool bhi humne bheje thay woh sab bhi khana khane waley aur bazaaron mein chalne phirne waley log hi thay. Darasal humne tum logon ko ek dusre ke liye aazmaish ka zariya bana diya hai, kya tum sabar karte ho? Tumhara Rubb sab kuch dekhta hai

فَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ضُرّٞ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلۡنَٰهُ نِعۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمِۭۚ بَلۡ هِيَ فِتۡنَةٞ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٩

When an affliction befalls man, he cries out to Us; but when We grant him a favour from Us, he says: “I have been granted this on account of my knowledge.” Nay; this (favour) is a test; but most of them do not know.

Yahi Insaan jab zara si museebat isey choo jaati hai to humein pukarta hai, aur jab hum isey apni taraf se niyamat de kar aphar dete (favour from us) hain to kehta hai ke yeh to muhey ilm ki bina par diya gaya hai. Nahin! balke yeh aazmiash hai, magar in mein se aksar log jaante nahin hain

فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَضَرۡبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَثۡخَنتُمُوهُمۡ فَشُدُّواْ ٱلۡوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنَّۢا بَعۡدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلۡحَرۡبُ أَوۡزَارَهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَلَوۡ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَٱنتَصَرَ مِنۡهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَبۡلُوَاْ بَعۡضَكُم بِبَعۡضٖۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ ٤

When you meet the unbelievers (in battle), smite their necks until you have crushed them, then bind your captives firmly; thereafter (you are entitled to) set them free, either by an act of grace, or against ransom, until the war ends. That is for you to do. If Allah had so willed, He would have Himself exacted retribution from them. (But He did not do so) that He may test some of you by means of others. As for those who are slain in the way of Allah, He shall never let their works go to waste.

Pas jab in kafiron se tumhari muth-bhaid (battle) ho to pehla kaam gardanein (necks) maarna hai, yahan tak ke jab tum unko acchi tarah kuchal do tab qaidiyon (captives) ko mazboot baandho. Iske baad (tumhein ikhtiyar hai) ehsan karo ya fidiye (ransom) ka muaamla karlo, taa-aanke ladayi apne hatiyar daal de. Yeh hai tumhare karne ka kaam. Allah chahta to khud hi unse nimat leta, magar (yeh tareeqa us ne is liye ikhtiyar kiya hai) taa-ke tum logon ko ek dusre ke zariye se aazmaye aur jo log Allah ki raah mein maarey jayenge Allah unke aamal ko hargiz zaya na karega

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا جَآءَكُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتُ مُهَٰجِرَٰتٖ فَٱمۡتَحِنُوهُنَّۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِهِنَّۖ فَإِنۡ عَلِمۡتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤۡمِنَٰتٖ فَلَا تَرۡجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى ٱلۡكُفَّارِۖ لَا هُنَّ حِلّٞ لَّهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّۖ وَءَاتُوهُم مَّآ أَنفَقُواْۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ إِذَآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّۚ وَلَا تُمۡسِكُواْ بِعِصَمِ ٱلۡكَوَافِرِ وَسۡـَٔلُواْ مَآ أَنفَقۡتُمۡ وَلۡيَسۡـَٔلُواْ مَآ أَنفَقُواْۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ حُكۡمُ ٱللَّهِ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡۖ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ١٠

Believers, when believing women come to you as Emigrants (in the cause of faith), examine them. Allah fully knows (the truth) concerning their faith. And when you have ascertained them to be believing women, do not send them back to the unbelievers. Those women are no longer lawful to the unbelievers, nor are those unbelievers lawful to those (believing) women. Give their unbelieving husbands whatever they have spent (as bridal-dues); and there is no offence for you to marry those women if you give them their bridal-dues. Do not hold on to your marriages with unbelieving women: ask for the return of the bridal-due you gave to your unbelieving wives and the unbelievers may ask for the return of the bridal-due they had given to their believing wives. Such is Allah's command. He judges between you. Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, jab momin auratein hijrat karke tumhare paas aayein to (unke momin honay ki) jaanch padtaal karlo. Aur unke iman ki haqeeqat Allah hi behtar janta hai. Phir jab tumhein maloom ho jaye ke woh momin hain to unhein kuffar ki taraf wapas na karo. Na woh kuffar ke liye halal hain aur na kuffar unke liye halal. Unke kafir shoharon ne jo mehar unko diye thay woh unhein pher do aur unsey nikah kar lene par tumse koi gunaah nahin jabke tum unke mehar unko ada kardo. Aur tum khud bhi kafir auraton ko apne nikah mein na roakey raho, jo mehar tumne apni kafir biwiyon ko diye thay woh tum wapas maang lo aur jo mehar kafiron ne apni musalmaan biwiyon ko diye thay unhein woh wapas maang lein. Yeh Allah ka hukum hai, woh tumhare darmiyaan faisla karta hai aur Allah Aleem-o-Hakeem (all knowing-most wise) hai

إِنَّمَآ أَمۡوَٰلُكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُكُمۡ فِتۡنَةٞۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ ١٥

Your possessions and your offspring are nothing but a trial for you. And there awaits a great reward for you with Allah.

Tumhare maal aur tumhari aulad to ek aazmaish hai, aur Allah hi hai jiske paas bada ajar hai

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٢

Who created death and life that He might try you as to which of you is better in deed. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Forgiving;

Jisne maut aur zindagi ko ijaat kiya taa-ke tum logon ko aazma kar dekhey tum mein se kaun behtar amal karne wala hai, aur woh zabardast bhi hai aur darguzar farmane wala bhi

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ ١٥

As for man, when his Lord tests him by exalting him and bestowing His bounties upon him, he says: “My Lord has exalted me.”

Magar Insan ka haal yeh hai kay uska Rubb jab usko aazmaish mein daalta hai aur usey izzat aur niyamat deta hai to woh kehta hai kay mere Rubb ne mujhey izzatdar bana diya

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ١٦

But when He tests him by straitening his sustenance, he says: “My Lord has humiliated me.”

Aur jab woh usko azmaish mein daalta hai aur uska rizq uspar tangg kar deta hai to woh kehta hai mere Rubb ne mujhey zaleel kar diya
