42:12

فَاطِرُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا وَمِنَ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ أَزْوَٰجًا ۖ يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ ۚ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِۦ شَىْءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

He is the Maker of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you pairs of your own selves, and of the cattle also He has made pairs. He multiplies you therein. There is nothing whatever like unto Him; and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

English - Five Volume Translation

He is [b]the Maker of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you pairs of your own selves, and of the cattle also He has made pairs. He multiplies you therein. There is nothing whatever like unto Him; and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.[3610]

6:15; 14:11; 35:2.

Commentary:

The pronoun ہ in فیه (therein) being taken as referring to the relationship subsisting between man and wife, the expression "He multiplies you therein" would mean that God multiplies mankind by the relationship that exists between husband and wife.

The words, is nothing whatever like unto Him, are meant to remove a possible misunderstanding to which the sentence, "God has made a pair of everything", might have given rise, viz. that God also needs a consort to make a pair. The words signify that it is impossible to conceive of anything like God. He is far above human perception and comprehension. It is, therefore, foolish to try to find a likeness between Divine and human attributes though the two possess some very remote and incomplete resemblance.

English - Short Commentary Translation

He is [a]the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you pairs of your own selves, and of the cattle also He has made pairs. He multiplies[2646] you therein. There is nothing whatever like unto Him,[2647] and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

6:15; 14:11; 35:2.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

وہ آسمانوں اور زمین کو عدم سے پیدا کرنے والا ہے۔ اُس نے تمہارے لئے تمہی میں سے جوڑے بنائے اور مویشیوں کے جوڑے بھی۔ وہ اس میں تمہاری افزائش کرتا ہے۔ اُس جیسا کوئی نہیں ۔ وہ بہت سننے والا (اور) گہری نظر رکھنے والا ہے ۔

French

Il est l’Initiateur des cieux et de la terre. Il a fait pour votre bien des couples d’entre vous-mêmes, et des couples de parmi les bestiaux. Il vous y multiplie. Il n’y a rien de pareil à Lui, et Il est Celui Qui entend tout, Qui voit tout.

German

Der Schöpfer der Himmel und der Erde – Er hat aus euch selbst Gefährten für euch gemacht und Gefährten aus den Tieren. Dadurch vermehrt Er euch. Nichts gibt es Seinesgleichen; und Er ist der Allhörende, der Allsehende.

Chinese

(他是) 天地的[a]起源者, 他从你们的同类中为你们创始了配偶, 他在牲畜中也创造了配偶, 他使你们在这里繁殖。没有什么东西是与他相似的。[1200]他是全听的, 全视的。

6:15; 14:11; 35:2.

“什么也不能与他类比” 一句消除了 “安拉为一切创造配偶” 这句可能引起的误解, 即安拉也需要一个伴侣来配对。这意思是说, 不可能想象会有与安拉类似的存在。安拉远远不能为人感觉、领悟。因此想要找出安拉的常德和人性特点之间的相似之处是愚蠢的, 尽管这两者之间会具有某种微乎其微而不完全的相似。

Italian

Egli è il Creatore principale dei cieli e della terra. Egli vi ha fatti a coppie, e ha fatto a coppie anche il bestiame, a beneficio vostro; e in questo modo vi moltiplica. Non c'è nulla che assomigli a Lui, ed Egli è Colui che tutto ode, che tutto vede.

Spanish

Él es el Creador Perfecto de los cielos y la tierra. Ha creado parejas de entre vosotros y también parejas de entre el ganado para vuestro beneficio. Con ello os multiplica. No hay nada que se parezca a Él; Él es Quien todo lo oye, Quien todo lo ve.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

وہ آسمانوں اور زمین کا پیدا کرنے والا ہے اس نے تمہاری ہی جنس سے تمہارے ساتھی بنائے ہیں اور چارپایوں کے بھی جوڑے بنائے ہیں اور اس طرح وہ تم کو زمین میں بڑھاتا[1] ہے اس جیسی کوئی چیز نہیں اور وہ بہت سننے والا (اور) دیکھنے والا ہے۔

یعنی نسل کو بڑھا بڑھا کر زمین کو آباد کرتا جاتا ہے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

آسمانوں اور زمین کا بنانے والا، جس نے تمہاری اپنی جنس سے تمہارے لیے جوڑے پیدا کیے، اور اسی طرح جانوروں میں بھی (اُنہی کے ہم جنس) جوڑے بنائے، اور اِس طریقہ سے وہ تمہاری نسلیں پھیلاتا ہے کائنات کی کوئی چیز اس کے مشابہ نہیں، وہ سب کچھ سننے اور دیکھنے والا ہے
