6:10

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَٰهُ مَلَكًا لَّجَعَلْنَٰهُ رَجُلًا وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if We had appointed as Messenger an angel, We would have made him appear as a man; and thus We would have made confused to them what they are themselves confusing.

English - Five Volume Translation

And if We had appointed as Messenger an angel, We would have made him appear as a man; and thus We would have made confused to them that which they are themselves making confused.[757]

Commentary:

Another possible form of the appearance of an angel is that he be sent to this world as a Messenger. But this could not improve things; for in that case, to make his mission to mankind worth anything, he should appear in the form of a man; but if he were to appear to them in the form of a man, then the people would entertain the same doubts about

his heavenly mission as they were now doing about that of the Holy Prophet.

English - Short Commentary Translation

And if We had appointed as Messenger an angel, We would have made him appear as a man; and thus We would have caused to be confused to them that which they are themselves confusing.[827]

The verse exposes the folly of the disbelievers’ demand that an angel should have come to guide them.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر ہم اُس (رسول) کو فرشتہ بناتے تو ہم اسے پھر بھی انسان (کی صورت میں) بناتے اور ہم ان پر وہ (معاملہ) مشتبہ رکھتے جسے وہ (اب) مشتبہ سمجھ رہے ہیں۔

French

Et si Nous l’avions fait - ce Messager - un ange, Nous l’aurions fait apparaître sous forme humaine ; et ainsi Nous les aurions mis dans la même confusion dans laquelle ils sont.

German

Und wenn Wir ihn (aus) einem Engel geschaffen hätten, hätten Wir ihn doch als Menschen geschaffen, und so hätten Wir ihnen das noch verwirrter gemacht, was sie selbst schon verwirren.

Chinese

(这也应当记着), 如果我指定天使作为使者, 我也必使他显现像一个男子; 他们现在认为混淆不清的事情, 那时我仍将使它对他们是混淆不清的。

Italian

E se Noi avessimo incaricato un angelo come messaggero, lo avremmo fatto apparire come un uomo; e così avremmo fatto loro apparire confuso quello che invece essi stessi confondono.

Spanish

Y si hubiésemos nombrado como Mensajero a un ángel, lo habríamos hecho aparecer como un hombre; y por tanto abríamos hecho confuso para ellos lo que ya están confundiendo ellos mismos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور (یہ بھی یاد رکھنا چاہیئے کہ) اگر ہم اس (پیامبر) کو فرشتوں میں سے تجویز کرتے تب بھی ہم اسے مرد کی شکل ہی دیتے اور ان کے اوپر پھر بھی وہ بات مشتبہ کر دیتے جسے اب وہ مشتبہ سمجھ رہے ہیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور اگر ہم فرشتے کو اتارتے تب بھی اسے انسانی شکل ہی میں اتارتے اور اس طرح انہیں اُسی شبہ میں مبتلا کر دیتے جس میں اب یہ مبتلا ہیں

English - Sahih

And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اگر ہم کسی کو فرشتہ کو رسول بنا کر بھیجتے تو وہ بھی آدمی ہی کی صورت میں ہوتا اور انہیں اسی میں شبہ میں ڈالے جس میں اب مبتلا ہیں

English - Talal Itani

And if We had made him an Angel, certainly We (would) have made him a man, and certainly We (would) have obscured to them what they are obscuring.

Chinese Commentary ^*

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

And had We made him an angel, yet assuredly We would have made him a man, and confused for them the thing which they themselves are confusing.

English - Maududi

Had We appointed an angel, We would have sent him down in the form of a man - and thus We would have caused them the same doubt which they now entertain.

English - Ahmed Ali

Even if We had sent down an angel as messenger he would have appeared in the garb of a man and filled them with confusion, like the one they are filled with.

English - Yusuf Ali

If We had made it an angel, We should have sent him as a man, and We should certainly have caused them confusion in a matter which they have already covered with confusion.

his heavenly mission as they were now doing about that of the Holy Prophet.

English - Short Commentary Notes ^*

827

The verse exposes the folly of the disbelievers’ demand that an angel should have come to guide them.

English - Pickthall

Had we appointed him (Our messenger) an angel, We assuredly had made him (as) a man (that he might speak to men); and (thus) obscured for them (the truth) they (now) obscure.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And if We had made him an angel, We would certainly have made him a man, and (thus) made confused to them what they confuse.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Besides, if We had appointed an angel as Messenger, We would have invested him with the form of a man, and thus We would again have made obscure to them that which they now consider obscure.
