34:44

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍ قَالُوا۟ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًى ۚ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And when Our manifest Signs are recited to them, they say, ‘This is but a man who seeks to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped.’ And they say, ‘This is but a forged lie.’ And those who disbelieve say about the truth when it comes to them, ‘This is nothing but clear magic.’

17:95; 23:25.

Commentary:

This verse sums up the subject matter of the whole Surah. The preceding verses deal with the mission of the Holy Prophet and answer the criticisms and objections of disbelievers against him. Their first objection was that the Prophet had split up the people into groups and parties and thus had sought to carve out of this chaos a new community for himself and to impose his leadership on them (v. 8). This objection was answered by a reference to the Divine practice that whenever there came a Prophet into the world, the people to whom he preached his Message naturally became split up into two hostile camps with the result that those who accepted it and followed the Prophet’s lead triumphed over their opponents and became a strong community. To this the disbelievers would retort that the Prophet could not succeed in the face of their great resources, power and numbers (v. 36). When this objection was also refuted by the argument that power and wealth belonged to God and that it was not these things but right beliefs and good actions that led to the success and prosperity of a people and that Muslims being righteous and holding right beliefs were destined to triumph over them (vv. 37-40), the disbelievers pretended to derive consolation from the false and flimsy plea that the Prophet could not succeed because three great factors worked towards his failure, viz. that he acted against the old traditions of their forefathers, that he was a liar and an impostor and that he employed unfair and deceitful means for the furtherance of his cause and held out false promises. It is to these three objections of disbelievers that the verse under comment refers.

17:95; 23:25.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور جب اُن پر ہماری روشن آیات پڑھی جاتی ہیں وہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ محض ایک عام آدمی ہے جو تمہیں اُس سے روکنا چاہتا ہے جس کی تمہارے باپ دادا عبادت کیا کرتے تھے۔ اور وہ کہتے ہیں یہ کچھ بھی نہیں مگر ایک بڑا جھوٹ ہے جو گھڑ لیا گیا ہے۔ اور اُن لوگوں نے جنہوں نے حق کا انکار کیا جب وہ اُن کے پاس آیا کہا کہ یہ ایک کھلے کھلے جادو کے سوا کچھ نہیں۔

French

Et lorsque Nos Signes manifestes leur sont récités, ils disent : « Celui-ci n’est qu’un homme qui cherche à vous détourner de ce qu’adoraient vos pères. » Et ils disent : « Ceci n’est qu’un mensonge fabriqué. » Et les mécréants disent de la vérité, lorsqu’elle leur vient : « Ceci n’est que de la magie manifeste. »

German

Und wenn Unsere deutlichen Zeichen ihnen vorgetragen werden, sagen sie: "Dieser ist nichts weiter als ein Mann, der euch von dem abwendig machen möchte, was eure Väter verehrten." Und sie sprechen: "Dieser (Qur-ân) ist nichts als eine erdichtete Lüge." Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen von der Wahrheit, wenn sie zu ihnen kommt: "Das ist nichts als offenkundige Zauberei."

Chinese

当有人向他们宣读我明显的迹象时, 他们说: [f]“这个人只想阻止你们崇拜你们的祖先所崇拜的(偶像)。” 他们 (又) 说: “这 («古兰经») 只是被捏造的谎言。” 当完美的真理来到他们时, 不信者 (被迫这样地) 说: “这不过是一个明显的魔术。”

17:95; 23:25.

Italian

E quando i Nostri segni manifesti sono recitati loro, essi dicono: «Non si tratta che di un uomo, che cerca di distogliervi da quello che i vostri padri adoravano.» E aggiungono: «Questo non è che una menzogna inventata.» E quelli che non credono dicono riguardo alla verità, quando essa li raggiunge: «Non è che magia evidente.»

Spanish

Y cuando les recitan Nuestros Signos manifiestos, dicen: “Éste no es más que un hombre que intenta apartaros de lo que adoraban vuestros padres”. Y dicen: “No es más que una mentira inventada”. Y quienes no creen, cuando les llega la verdad, dicen sobre ella: “Esto no es más que magia evidente”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جب ان کے سامنے ہمارے کھلے کھلے نشانات پڑھ کر سنائے جاتے ہیں تو وہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ شخص صرف ایسا آدمی ہے جو تم کو ان (ہستیوں) کی عبادت سے روکنا چاہتا ہے‘ جن کی تمہارے باپ دادے عبادت کرتے تھے اور کہتے ہیں یہ (قرآن صرف) جھوٹ ہے جو اپنے نفس سے بنا لیا گیا ہے اور جب کامل سچائی ان کے پاس آجاتی ہے تو کافر مجبور ہو کر یوں کہتے ہیں کہ یہ تو ایک کھلا کھلا فریب[1] ہے۔

سِحْر کے معنے عربی زبان میں جادو کے بھی ہوتے ہیں اور دلفریب بات کے بھی۔ پس جب کفار یہ دیکھتے تھے کہ قرآن کریم میں بیان کردہ کامل سچائیاں لوگوں کے دلوں کو موہ رہی ہیں تو وہ اپنے ساتھیوں کو دھوکا دینے کے لئے یہ کہتے تھے کہ محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم دھوکا دینے والے الفاظ میں کچھ باتیں کہہ دیتا ہے ورنہ ہے وہ (نَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰہ) جھوٹا۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اِن لوگوں کو جب ہماری صاف صاف آیات سنائی جاتی ہیں تو یہ کہتے ہیں کہ "یہ شخص تو بس یہ چاہتا ہے کہ تم کو اُن معبودوں سے برگشتہ کر دے جن کی عبادت تمہارے باپ دادا کرتے آئے ہیں" اور کہتے ہیں کہ "یہ (قرآن) محض ایک جھوٹ ہے گھڑا ہوا" اِن کافروں کے سامنے جب حق آیا تو انہیں نے کہہ دیا کہ "یہ تو صریح جادو ہے"

English - Sahih

And when our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, they say, "This is not but a man who wishes to avert you from that which your fathers were worshipping." And they say, "This is not except a lie invented." And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them, "This is not but obvious magic."

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور جب انہیں ہماری واضح آیتیں سنائی جاتی ہیں تو کہتے ہیں کہ یہ محض ایسا شخص ہے جو چاہتا ہے کہ تمہیں ان چیزوں سے رو ک دے جنہیں تمہارے باپ دادا پوجتے تھے اور (قرآن کی نسبت) کہتے ہیں کہ یہ محض ایک تراشا ہوا جھوٹ ہے اورکافروں نے حق کے متعلق کہا جب ان کے پاس آیا کہ یہ محض ایک صریح جادو ہے

English - Talal Itani
