36:67

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُوا۟ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if We had so willed, We could have put out their eyes, then they would have rushed to find the way. But how could they see?

English - Five Volume Translation

And if We had so willed, We could have put out their eyes, then they would have rushed unseeing to find the way. But, in their condition, how could they see?[3256]

Important Words:

طمسنا (We put out) is formed from طمس which means, to be far away. They say لا أدری أین طمس i.e. 1 do not know where he has gone. طمس الشیء او علی الشیء means, he destroyed or annihilated the thing or obliterated or effaced its trace. طمس النجوم means, the light of the star became extinguished. See also 10:89.

Commentary:

The implication of the verse seems to be that as man has been endowed with discretion and free will, he must bear the responsibility of his actions. The disbelievers persistently refuse to see the truth with the result that they become totally deprived of the power to see it. This is also the significance of the words "We shall put a seal on their mouths" in the immediately preceding verse.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر ہم چاہتے تو ان کی آنکھوں کو ضرور مسخ کر دیتے پھر وہ رستے پر آگے بڑھتے مگر وہ (اُسے) دیکھ کیسے سکتے تھے؟

French

Et si Nous l’avions voulu, Nous aurions pu leur crever les yeux, alors ils se seraient précipités pour trouver le chemin. Mais comment pourraient-ils voir ?

German

Und hätten Wir gewollt, Wir hätten ihre Augen auslöschen können; dann würden sie nach dem Weg geeilt sein. Aber wie hätten sie sehen können?

Chinese

假如我愿意, 我使他们的眼瞎,[1077]然后他们 (盲目地) 奔寻道路, 但在这种情况下, 他们怎能看到 (正道)?

由于人类的判断力和自由意志是天赋的, 他们必须对自己的行动负责。不信的人顽固地不愿见到真理, 结果是, 他们完全丧失了见到真理的能力。这也就是在上一节经文中 “我将封闭他们的口” 这句话的意思。

Italian

E se lo avessimo voluto, avremmo cavato loro gli occhi; allora si sarebbero precipitati alla ricerca della via. Ma come avrebbero potuto vedere?

Spanish

Y si así lo hubiésemos querido, les habríamos privado de los ojos, y entonces habrían continuado pisando el camino, pero ¿cómo lo percibirían?

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اگر ہم چاہیں تو ان کی آنکھوں کو اندھا کر دیں‘ پھر وہ بے دیکھے ایک راستہ کی تلاش میں چل پڑیں‘ مگر اس حالت میں وہ (سچے راستہ کو) دیکھ کس طرح سکتے ہیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

ہم چاہیں تو اِن کی آنکھیں موند دیں، پھر یہ راستے کی طرف لپک کر دیکھیں، کہاں سے اِنہیں راستہ سجھائی دے گا؟

English - Sahih

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اگر ہم چاہیں تو ان کی آنکھیں مٹاڈالیں پس وہ راستہ کی طرف دوڑیں پھر وہ کیوں کر دیکھ سکیں
