39:43

ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَٱلَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Allah takes away the souls of human beings at the time of their death; and during their sleep of those also that are not yet dead. And then He retains those against which He has decreed death, and sends back the others till an appointed term. In that surely are Signs for a people who reflect.

English - Five Volume Translation

[a]Allah takes away the souls of human beings at the time of their death; and of those also that are not yet dead, during their sleep. And then He retains those against which He has decreed death, and sends back the others till an appointed term. In that surely are Signs for a people who reflect.[3466]

6:61.

Commentary:

It appears from this verse that the soul of man is taken away both at the time of death and in sleep. In the former case, it is kept back and not allowed to return, while in the latter case, it comes back. The verse thus shows that the dead never come back to life. It also has an implied reference to the immortality of the human soul and man’s accountability for his deeds. In v. 41 above it was stated that as a result of the rejection of Divine Message, the disbelievers will suffer disgrace and humiliation in this life and will be subjected to an abiding punishment in the life to come. In the present verse we are told that with his death, man’s soul does not die or disintegrate but is taken away from its mortal habitat and is kept in other regions to account for man’s actions in due course.

English - Short Commentary Translation

[c]Allah takes away the souls of men at the time of their death; and of those also that are not yet dead, during their sleep. And then He withholds those against which He has decreed death, and sends back the others till an appointed term.[2580] In that, surely, are Signs for a people who reflect.

6:61.

With his death man’s soul does not die or disintegrate but is taken away from its mortal habitat and is kept in other regions to account for man’s actions in due course.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اللہ جانوں کو ان کی موت کے وقت قبض کرتا ہے اور جو مَری نہیں ہوتیں (انہیں) ان کی نیند کی حالت میں (قبض کرتا ہے)۔ پس جس کے لئے موت کا فیصلہ کر دیتا ہے اسے روک رکھتا ہے اور دوسری کو ایک معین مدت تک کے لئے (واپس) بھیج دیتا ہے۔ یقیناً اس میں فکر کرنے والوں کے لئے بہت سے نشانات ہیں۔

French

Allāh enlève les âmes des êtres vivants au moment de leur mort ; et aussi celle de ceux qui ne sont pas encore morts, pendant leur sommeil. Puis Il retient celles contre lesquelles Il a décrété la mort, et renvoie les autres jusqu’à un terme désigné. Assurément, il y a en cela des Signes pour un peuple qui réfléchit.

German

Allah nimmt die Seelen (der Menschen) hin zur Zeit ihres Absterbens und (auch) derer, die nicht gestorben sind, während ihres Schlafs. Dann hält Er die zurück, über die Er den Tod verhängt hat, und schickt die andere (wieder) bis zu einer bestimmten Frist. Hierin sind sicherlich Zeichen für Leute, die nachdenken.

Chinese

[a]安拉拿走人们死期已到的灵魂和那些睡眠中死期未到的(灵魂)。然后他留下其定了死期的, 遣回其他的, 直到一定的期限。[1140]其中对于深思熟虑的人确有许多迹象。

6:61.

人类的灵魂在他们死后并不死亡或分解而是从他们死的住所中拿走并且被保存在另外区域里将在适当时候要他们汇报自己的行为。

Italian

Allah si riprende le anime dei vivi al momento della loro morte e anche quelle di coloro che non sono ancora morti ma sono immersi nel sonno. Egli trattiene quelle contro le quali ha decretato la morte, e rimanda indietro le altre, fino a un tempo stabilito. In questo ci sono, in verità, segni per gente che voglia riflettere.

Spanish

Al‑lah se lleva las almas de los vivos en el momento de su muerte; y durante su sueño las de los que aún no han muerto. Y después retiene las de aquellos cuya muerte ha decretado y devuelve a las otras hasta el plazo fijado. Aquí hay ciertamente Signos para las gentes que reflexionan.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اللہ ہر شخص کی روح اس کی موت کے وقت قبض کرتا ہے اور جس کی موت نہیں آئی (اس کی روح) اس کی نیند کے وقت (قبض کرتا ہے) پھر وہ جس کی موت کا حکم جاری کر چکا ہوتا ہے اس کی روح کو روکے رکھتا ہے اور دوسری کو ایک مدت مقررہ کے لئے واپس کر دیتا ہے اس میں فکر کرنے والی قوم کے لئے نشانات ہیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

وہ اللہ ہی ہے جو موت کے وقت روحیں قبض کرتا ہے اور جو ابھی نہیں مرا ہے اُس کی روح نیند میں قبض کر لیتا ہے، پھر جس پر وہ موت کا فیصلہ نافذ کرتا ہے اُسے روک لیتا ہے اور دوسروں کی روحیں ایک وقت مقرر کے لیے واپس بھیج دیتا ہے اِس میں بڑی نشانیاں ہیں اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو غور و فکر کرنے والے ہیں

English - Sahih

Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اللہ ہی جانوں کو ان کی موت کے وقت قبض کرتا ہے اور ان جانوں کو بھی جن کی موت ان کے سونے کے وقت نہیں آئی پھر ان جانوں کو روک لیتا ہے جن پر موت کا حکم فرما چکا ہے اور باقی جانوں کو ایک میعاد معین تک بھیج دیتا ہے بے شک اس میں ان لوگوں کے لیے نشانیاں ہیں جو غور کرتے ہیں

English - Talal Itani
