31:26

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if thou ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’, they will surely answer, ‘Allah.’ Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah.’ But most of them know not.

English - Five Volume Translation

[c]And if thou ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’, they will surely answer, ‘Allah.’ Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah.’ But most of them know not.[3050]

29:62; 39:39; 44:8.

Commentary:

The verse purports to say that an intelligent study of the creation of the universe and of the perfect design and order that pervade and permeate it, leads to the one inevitable conclusion that there must be a Creator of this creation. This inference is inescapable. The words لیقولن الله signify that disbelievers will have no option but to admit that it is Allah Who brought the whole universe into being. But in spite of this unwilling admission on their part, the perverse rejecters of truth refuse to admit the simple fact that when God has made so much provision for the physical and material needs of man, He could not have failed to make similar provision for his moral and spiritual needs. This refusal to accept a clear conclusion shows that disbelievers are an ignorant and perverse people. Moreover, while they admit in their heart of hearts that God is the sole Creator of the universe, their actions do not conform to their admission. They associate partners with Him. This fact also sets the seal upon their folly and ignorance.

English - Short Commentary Translation

[c]And if thou ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will, surely, answer, ‘Allah.’[2314] Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah.’ But most of them have no knowledge.

29:62; 39:39.

An intelligent study of the creation of the universe and of the perfect design and order that pervade and permeate it, leads to the one inescapable inference that there must be a Creator of this universe. The expression la-Yaqulunna signifies that disbelievers will have no option but to admit that it is Allah Who has brought the universe into being.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر تُو ان سے پوچھے کہ کس نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو پیدا کیا ہے؟ تو وہ ضرور کہیں گے: اللہ نے۔ تُو کہہ دے کہ سب تعریف اللہ ہی کے لئے ہے لیکن ان میں سے اکثر علم نہیں رکھتے۔

French

Et si tu leur demandes : « Qui a créé les cieux et la terre ? » ils répondront assurément : « Allāh. » Dis : « Toutes les louanges appartiennent à Allāh. » Mais la plupart d’entre eux ne savent pas.

German

Und wenn du sie fragst: "Wer schuf die Himmel und die Erde?" – dann werden sie gewiss antworten: "Allah". Sprich: "Aller Preis gebührt Allah." Jedoch die meisten von ihnen wissen es nicht.

Chinese

[d]假如你问他们: “谁创造了天地?” 那么, 他们必定说: “安拉。”[1010]你 (对他们) 说: “一切的赞颂都归安拉。” 他们多数的人不知道 (这个真理)。

29:62; 39:39.

明智地研究宇宙是如何创造的以及宇宙间普遍而深刻地存在着完美的安排和秩序, 使人们得出一个必然的结论, 即一定存在着一个宇宙的创造主。 لَيَقُوْلُنَّ (la-yaqulunna) 这一用语意指不信的人只得承认创造宇宙者是安拉, 此外别无其他选择。

Italian

E se tu chiedi loro: «Chi ha creato i cieli e la terra?», certamente risponderanno: «Allah.» Di': «Ogni lode appartiene ad Allah.» Ma la maggior parte di loro non sa.

Spanish

Y si les preguntas: “¿Quién creó los cielos y la tierra?”, responderán ciertamente: “Al‑lah”. Diles: “Toda alabanza corresponde a Al‑lah”. Sin embargo, la mayoría de ellos lo desconocen.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی
