10:46

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And on the day when He will gather them together, it will appear to them as though they had not tarried in the world save for an hour of a day. They will recognize one another. Losers indeed are those who deny the meeting with Allah and would not follow guidance.

English - Five Volume Translation

And on the day when He shall gather them together, [a]it will appear to them as though they had not tarried in the world save for an hour of a day. They will recognize one another. [b]Losers indeed are those who deny the meeting with Allah and would not follow guidance.[1321]

Commentary:

Disbelievers have been several times spoken of in the Quran as having stayed in the world only for an hour of a day. In all such verses it is not the actual time of their staying in the world that is meant. It is only their being engrossed in worldly affairs and idle pursuits that is implied. The day is primarily meant for work and, inasmuch as disbelievers spend most of their time in earning the paltry goods of the world or pass their time in hunting after enjoyment and do not make any effort to win the pleasure of God, it may be rightly said of them that they have lived in the world only for a day, even though they may have actually lived for thousands of years, for they do not benefit by their lives and do not put their days to the right use for which they are meant. If it had been meant to give the actual period of time for which disbelievers stayed on earth, there was no need of specifying the time of the day, for time can be measured by night also.

The words, who deny the meeting with Allah, supply the reason why disbelievers pass their life in negligence. It was due to their lack of faith in meeting with God, which indeed is a great incentive to good works. Both those who obey through fear and those who obey from motives of love are prompted to do good works because they know that one day they will stand before God when they will have to render an account of their deeds. When this faith is wanting, negligence is the natural consequence.

English - Short Commentary Translation

And on the day when He will gather them together, [b]it will appear to them as though they had not tarried in the world save for an hour[1264] of a day. They will recognize one another. [c]Losers indeed are those who deny the meeting with Allah and would not follow guidance.

30:56; 46:36.

6:32; 30:9; 32:11.

Several times disbelievers have been spoken of in the Qur’an as having stayed in the world only for an hour of a day. In all such verses it is not the actual time of their staying in the world that is meant, but their being engrossed in worldly affairs and idle pursuits that is condemned by implication. As they wasted their lives in idle pursuits they may rightly be said to have lived in the world only for a day, even though they may have actually lived for many years.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور (یاد کرو) وہ دن جب وہ انہیں اکٹھا کرے گا اُنہیں لگے گا کہ وہ (زمین پر) دن کی ایک گھڑی سے زیادہ نہیں رہے وہ ایک دوسرے سے تعارف حاصل کریں گے۔ یقیناً وہ گھاٹے میں رہے جنہوں نے اللہ کی لِقاءکا انکار کر دیا تھا اور وہ ہدایت پانے والوں میں سے نہ ہو سکے۔

French

Et le jour où Il les rassemblera, il leur semblera comme s’ils n’étaient restés dans le monde qu’une seule heure d’une journée. Ils se reconnaîtront les uns les autres. Ils sont assurément des perdants ceux qui nient la rencontre avec Allāh, et ne veulent pas être guidés.

German

Und an dem Tage, an dem Er sie versammelt (wird es ihnen sein), als hätten sie nur eine Stunde eines Tages geweilt. Sie werden einander erkennen. Verloren fürwahr werden jene sein, die die Begegnung mit Allah leugneten und nicht rechtgeleitet waren.

Chinese

那一天他 (在这样状况下) 集合他们, [g](他们将觉得) 好像他们 (在世界上) 只度过日子的一段时间[593]罢了, (那天) 他们将会知道彼此 (的情况)。[h](要记着), 那些拒绝会遇安拉的, 没有成为受引导的, 他们确是损失者。

30:56; 46:36.

6:32; 30:9; 32:11.

«古兰经» 中有几次谈到不信教的人在世界上只度过一日中一小时。所有这类经文中所指的时间不是他们住在世界上的真实时间, 而指在显示他们当时全神专注于俗世事务以及虚无的追求之中, 其中含有谴责之意。由于他们生活在虚无的追求之中, 即使他们实际上可能活了许多年, 可以确切地说他们在世界上只活了一年。

Italian

E nel giorno in cui Egli li riunirà insieme, sembrerà loro di non aver sostato sulla terra per più di un'ora del giorno. Essi si riconosceranno gli uni con gli altri. Certo, i perdenti sono coloro che negano l'incontro con Allah e non vollero essere guidati.

Spanish

Mas en el día en el que reunirá a todos, les parecerá como si sólo hubiesen permanecido en el mundo una hora de un día. Se reconocerán los unos a los otros. En verdad, los perdedores son quienes niegan el encuentro con Al-lah, y no serán guiados.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جس دن وہ انہیں ایسی حالت میں جمع کرے گا کہ (وہ محسوس کرتے ہوں گے کہ) گویا وہ دن کی ایک ساعت کے سوا (دنیا میں) نہیں رہے تھے (اس دن) وہ ایک دوسرے (کی حالت) کو معلوم کر لیں گے (یاد رکھو کہ) جن لوگوں نے اللہ کے حضور پیش ہونے (کے وعدہ) کو جھٹلایا اور وہ ہدایت کو قبول کرنے والے نہیں بنے‘ انہوں نے نقصان (ہی) اٹھایا۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

(آج یہ دُنیا کی زندگی میں مست ہیں) اور جس روز اللہ اِن کو اکٹھا کرے گا تو (یہی دُنیا کی زندگی اِنہیں ایسی محسُوس ہوگی) گویا یہ محض ایک گھڑی بھر آپس میں جان پہچان کرنے کو ٹھیرے تھے (اس وقت تحقیق ہو جائے گا کہ) فی الواقع سخت گھاٹے میں رہے وہ لوگ جنہوں نے اللہ کی ملاقات کو جھٹلایا اور ہرگز وہ راہِ راست پر نہ تھے

English - Sahih

And on the Day when He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of the day, [and] they will know each other. Those will have lost who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور جس دن انہیں جمع کرے گا گویا وہ نہیں رہے تھے مگر ایک گھڑی دن کی ایک دوسرے کو پہچانیں گے بے شک خسارے میں رہے جنہوں نے الله کی ملاقات کو جھٹلایا اور راہ پانے والے نہ ہوئے

English - Talal Itani

And the Day He will gather them, as if they had not remained except an hour of the day, they will recognize each other between them. Certainly, (will have) lost those who denied the meeting (with) Allah, and not they were the guided ones.

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

And the day He shall muster them, as if they had not tarried but an hour of the day, mutually recognizing one another; lost will be those who cried lies to the encounter with God, and were not guided.

English - Maududi

(But today they are oblivious of everything except enjoyment of worldly life.) And on the Day when He will muster all men together, they will feel as though they had been in the world no more than an hour of the day to get acquainted with one another. (It will then become evident that) those who called the lie to meeting with Allah were utter losers and were not rightly-directed. underlies this sharp remark is the faint hope that perhaps such people would be shaken out of their slumber.

English - Ahmed Ali

The day He will gather them together it will appear to them that they had lived (in the world) but an hour of a day to make each other's acquaintance. Verily those who deny the meeting with God will be lost, and not find the way.

English - Yusuf Ali

One day He will gather them together: (It will be) as if they had tarried but an hour of a day: they will recognise each other: assuredly those will be lost who denied the meeting with Allah and refused to receive true guidance.

English - Pickthall

And on the day when He shall gather them together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day, recognising one another, those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And on the day when He will gather them, as though they had not stayed but an hour of the day, they will recognize one another. They perish indeed who reject the meeting with Allah, and they follow not the right way.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

On the day when He will gather them together, they will feel as if they had not tarried in the world longer than an hour out of a day. They will then become aware of the true position of one another. Losers indeed will be those who denied the possibility of the meeting with Allah and would not be guided.
