إِذْ جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلرُّسُلُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّنَا لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةً فَإِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

جب اُن کے پاس ان کے سامنے بھی اور اُن سے پہلے زمانوں میں بھی پیغمبر آتے رہے کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو۔ اُنہوں نے کہا اگر ہمارا ربّ چاہتا تو ضرور فرشتے اتار دیتا۔ پس ہم یقیناً، جس پیغام کے ساتھ تم بھیجے گئے ہو اس کا، انکار کرنے والے ہیں۔

French

Lorsque leurs Messagers vinrent à eux du début à la fin, leur disant : « Adorez seulement Allāh, » ils dirent : « Si Notre Seigneur l’avait voulu, Il aurait certainement fait descendre des anges. Nous refusons donc de croire en ce avec quoi vous avez été envoyés. »

German

Da ihre Gesandten zu ihnen kamen von vorn und von hinten (und sprachen): "Dienet keinem denn Allah", da sprachen sie: "Hätte unser Herr es gewollt, Er würde zweifellos Engel herabgesandt haben. So lehnen wir das ab, womit ihr gesandt worden seid."

Chinese

当众使者从他们的前后[1182]来临, (说:) “除开安拉, 你们不要崇拜任何对象。” 他们说: “如果我们的养主愿意, 他必下降了天使。所以我们的确不信你们的使命。”

Italian

Quando i loro messaggeri si erano recati da loro, da davanti a loro e da dietro di loro, dicendo: «Non adorate nessuno all'infuori di Allah», essi risposero: nostro Signore avesse voluto così, certamente avrebbe mandato giù degli angeli. Così, noi non crediamo in ciò con cui voi siete stati mandati.»

Spanish

Cuando sus Mensajeros llegaron a ellos por delante y por detrás, diciendo: “No adoréis a nadie sino a Al-lah”, dijeron: Si nuestro Señor así lo hubiese querido, habría enviado ciertamente ángeles. No creemos pues en aquello con lo que has sido enviado”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

یعنی جب اُن کے پاس اُن کے آگے سے بھی اور اُن کے پیچھے سے بھی رسول آئے (یعنی قومی زندگی کے دوران میں متواتر رسول آئے) یہ کہتے ہوئے کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو‘ تو انہوں نے ان کو جواب دیا کہ اگر ہمارا رب چاہتا تو ہم پر خود فرشتے نازل کر دیتا۔ پس ہم اس تعلیم کا جس کے ساتھ تم کو بھیجا گیا ہے انکار کرتے ہیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

جب خدا کے رسول اُن کے پاس آگے اور پیچھے، ہر طرف سے آئے اور انہیں سمجھایا کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کی بندگی نہ کرو تو انہوں نے کہا "ہمارا رب چاہتا تو فرشتے بھیجتا، لہٰذا ہم اُس بات کو نہیں مانتے جس کے لیے تم بھیجے گئے ہو"

English - Sahih

[That occurred] when the messengers had come to them before them and after them, [saying], "Worship not except Allah." They said, "If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that with which you have been sent, are disbelievers."

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

جب ان کے پاس رسول آئے ان کے سامنے سے اور ان کے پیچھے سے کہ سوائے الله کے کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو تو کہنے لگےکہ اگر ہمارا رب چاہتا تو فرشتے نازل کر دیتا پس ہم تو اس چیز سے جو تم دے کر بھیجے گئے ہو منکر ہیں
