Dusri taraf jab khuda tars logon se pucha jata hai ke yeh kya cheez hai jo tumhare Rubb ki taraf se nazil hui hai, to woh jawab dete hain ke “behtareen cheez utari hai”. Is tarah ke neikukar logon ke liye is duniya mein bhi bhalayi hai aur aakhirat ka ghar to zaroor hi unke haqq mein behtar hai. Bada accha ghar hai muttaqiyon (Allah se darne walon) ka

Those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity say: "Were Allah to will so, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped any other than Him, nor would we have prohibited anything without His command." Their predecessors proffered similar excuses. Do the Messengers have any other duty but to plainly convey the Message?

Yeh mushrikeen kehte hain “agar Allah chahta to na hum aur na hamare baap dada uske siwa kisi aur ki ibadat karte aur na uske hukum ke bagair kisi cheez ko haraam thehrate”.

We raised a Messenger in every community (to tell them): "Serve Allah and shun the Evil One." Thereafter Allah guided some of them while others were overtaken by error. Go about the earth, then, and observe what was the end of those who rejected the Messengers, calling them liars.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne har ummat mein ek Rasool bhej diya, aur uske zariye se sabko khabardar kardiya ke “Allah ki bandagi karo aur taghut ki bandagi se bacho”. Iske baad in mein se kisi ko Allah ne hidayat bakshi aur kisi par zalalat musallat ho gayi. Phir zara zameen mein chal phir kar dekhlo ke jhutlane walon ka kya anjaam ho chuka hai

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةٗ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِۚ أَفَبِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ وَبِنِعۡمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٧٢

And Allah has given you spouses from your kind, and has granted you through your spouses, sons and grandsons, and has provided you wholesome things as sustenance. (After knowing all this), do they still believe in falsehood and deny Allah's bounty,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur woh Allah hi hai jisne tumhare liye tumhari hum jins biwiyan banayi aur usi ne un biwiyon se tumhein bete potey (sons and grandsons) ata kiye aur acchi acchi cheezein tumhein khane ko di. Phir kya yeh log (yeh sab kuch dekhte aur jaante huey bhi) baatil ko maante hain, aur Allah ke ehsan ka inkar karte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ٧٣

and worship instead of Allah, those helpless beings who have no control over providing them any sustenance from the heavens and the earth; do you worship those who have no power to do anything of this sort?

Aur Allah ko chodh kar unko poojhte hain jinke haath mein na aasmano se inhein kuch bhi rizq dena hai na zameen se aur na yeh kaam woh kar hi sakte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَلَا تَضۡرِبُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٧٤

So do not strike any similitudes to Allah. Allah knows whereas you do not know.

Pas Allah ke liye misalein na ghado, Allah jaanta hai, tum nahin jaante

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبۡدٗا مَّمۡلُوكٗا لَّا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَمَن رَّزَقۡنَٰهُ مِنَّا رِزۡقًا حَسَنٗا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنۡهُ سِرّٗا وَجَهۡرًاۖ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوُۥنَۚ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٧٥

Allah sets forth a parable: There is one who is a slave and is owned by another and has no power over anything; and there is one whom We have granted good provision Ourselves, of which he spends both secretly and openly. Can they be equal? All praise be to Allah. But most of them do not even know (this simple fact).

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ek misal deta hai ek to hai gulaam, jo dusre ka mamluq (slave) hai aur khud koi ikhtiyar nahin rakhta. Doosra shaks aisa hai jisey humne apni taraf se accha rizq ata kiya hai aur woh is mein se khule aur chupe khoob kharch karta hai. Batao kya yeh dono barabar hain? Alhamdulillah, magar aksar log (is seedhi baat ko) nahin jaante

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا رَّجُلَيۡنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبۡكَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوۡلَىٰهُ أَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٧٦

Allah sets forth another parable: There are two men, one of whom is dumb and has no power over anything; he is a burden to his master, and wheresoever his master directs him, he fails to bring forth any good. Can such a person be the equal of one who enjoins justice and himself follows the Right Way?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ek aur misal deta hai, do aadmi hain ek gunga behra hai, koi kaam nahin kar sakta, apne aaqa par bojh bana hua hai, jidhar bhi woh usey bheje koi bhala kaam ussey ban na aaye, dusra shaks aisa hai ke insaaf ka hukum deta hai aur khud raah e raast par qayam hai, batao kya yeh dono yaksan hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَآ أَمۡرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ ٱلۡبَصَرِ أَوۡ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٧٧

Allah has full knowledge of the truths beyond the reach of perception both in the heavens and the earth; and the coming of the Hour will take no more than the twinkling of an eye; it may take even less. Indeed Allah has power over everything.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur zameen o aasman ke posheeda haqaiq ka ilm to Allah hi ko hai aur qayamant ke barpa honay ka maamla kuch dair na lega magar bas itni ke jismein aadmi ki palakh jhapak jaye, balke isse bhi kuch kam, haqeeqat yeh hai ke Allah sab kuch kar sakta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَٱللَّهُ أَخۡرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٧٨

Allah has brought you forth from your mothers' wombs when you knew nothing, and then gave you hearing, and sight and thinking hearts so that you may give thanks.

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَٰلٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ أَكۡنَٰنٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ سَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلۡحَرَّ وَسَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأۡسَكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡلِمُونَ ٨١

And Allah has provided shade for you out of some of the things He has created; and He has provided you with shelters in the mountains, and has given you coats that protect you from heat as well as coats that protect you in battle.

And do not become like the woman who, after having painstakingly spun her yarn, caused it to disintegrate into pieces.

Surely on the Day of Resurrection He will make clear the Truth concerning the matters over which you differed.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumhari halat us aurat ki si na ho jaye jisne aap hi mehnat se soot kaata (spun yarn) aur phir aap hi usey tukde tukde kar dala.

Had Allah so willed, He would have made you all one single community. However, He lets go astray whomsoever He wills and shows the Right Way to whomsoever He wills. Surely you shall be called to account regarding what you did.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar Allah ki mashiyat yeh hoti (ke tum mein koi ikhtilaf na ho) to woh tum sabko ek hi ummat bana deta, magar woh jisey chahta hai gumraahi mein daalta hai aur jisey chahta hain raah e raast dikha deta hai. Aur zaroor tumse tumhare aamaal ki baaz-purs hokar rahegi
