39:30

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Allah sets forth a parable: a man belonging to several partners, disagreeing with one another, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are they both equal in condition? All praise belongs to Allah. But most of them know not.

English - Five Volume Translation

Allah sets forth a parable: A man belonging to several partners, disagreeing with one another, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in condition? All praise belongs to Allah. But most of them know not.[3456]

Important Words:

متشاکسون (disagree with one another) is derived from شکس i.e. he was or became refractory, perverse, stubborn or obstinate or evil in disposition or repugnant. تشاکسوا means, they treated one another with harshness; they opposed each other. متشاکسونmeans, disagreeing with one another or disputing together (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

The verse very effectively shows how untenable and impossible is the position of a polytheist. He is like a person who has to serve many masters, having interests mutually antagonistic and who also are ill-tempered and quarrelsome. Pitiable indeed is the lot of such a person! Can he be like a true believer who has to serve and please only one Master—God?

English - Short Commentary Translation

Allah sets forth a parable—a man belonging to several partners, who disagree with one another, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in condition?[2575] All praise belongs to Allah. But most of them know not.

A polytheist is like a person who has to serve several masters, having mutually antagonistic interests and who also are ill-tempered and quarrelsome. Pitiable indeed is the lot of such a person! Can he be like a true believer who has to serve and please only one Master—Allah?

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اللہ ایک ایسے شخص کی مثال بیان کرتا ہے جس کے کئی مالک ہوں جو آپس میں ایک دوسرے کے مخالف ہوں، اور ایک ایسے شخص کی بھی جو کلیۃً ایک ہی شخص کا ہو۔ کیا وہ دونوں اپنی حالت کے اعتبار سے برابر ہو سکتے ہیں؟ تمام کامل تعریف اللہ ہی کی ہے (مگر) حقیقت یہ ہے کہ ان میں سے اکثر نہیں جانتے۔

French

Allāh propose une parabole – un homme appartenant à plusieurs associés en désaccord entre eux, et un homme appartenant exclusivement à un seul homme. Les deux sont-ils égaux en exemple ? Toutes les louanges appartiennent à Allāh. Mais la plupart d’entre eux ne savent pas.

German

Allah setzt ein Gleichnis: Ein Mann, der mehreren Herren gehört, die unter sich im Zwiespalt sind, und ein Mann, der einem einzigen Herrn gehört. Sind sie beide einander gleich? Aller Preis gebührt Allah. Jedoch die meisten von ihnen wissen es nicht.

Chinese

安拉作一个比喻: 一个人附属于不同意见的合伙人, 另一个人专属于一个人, 这两个人的身份相同?[1135]一切的赞颂都归安拉, 但是他们大多数人都不知道。

一个多神教徒好像一个侍候几个主人的人, 这些主人彼此有利害冲突, 脾气又坏, 争吵不已。这样的一种人的命运实在太可怜! 他能像真正的信者只要侍候和取悦于一个主宰安拉？

Italian

Spanish

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اللہ اس شخص کی حالت کو (عبرت کے لئے) بیان کرتا ہے جس کے کئی مالک ہیں جو آپس میں اختلاف بھی رکھتے ہیں اور ایک شخص پورا کا پورا ایک آدمی کی ملکیت ہے۔ کیا یہ دونوں[2] شخص اپنے حال میں برابر ہو سکتے ہیں؟ سب تعریف اللہ ہی کی ہے لیکن ان میں سے اکثر جانتے نہیں۔

یعنی مشرک اور مو ّحد۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اللہ ایک مثال دیتا ہے ایک شخص تو وہ ہے جس کی ملکیت میں بہت سے کج خلق آقا شریک ہیں جو اسے اپنی اپنی طرف کھینچتے ہیں اور دوسرا شخص پورا کا پورا ایک ہی آقا کا غلام ہے کیا ان دونوں کا حال یکساں ہو سکتاہے؟ الحمدللہ، مگر اکثر لوگ نادانی میں پڑے ہوئے ہیں
