6:113

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَٰطِينَ ٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلْجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ ٱلْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And in like manner have We made for every Prophet an enemy, evil ones from among men and Jinn. They suggest one to another gilded speech in order to deceive — and if thy Lord had enforced His will, they would not have done it; so leave them alone with that which they fabricate —

English - Five Volume Translation

And [a]in like manner have We made for every Prophet an enemy, evil ones from among men and jinn. They suggest one to another gilded speech in order to deceive—and if thy Lord had enforced His will, they would not have done it; so leave them alone with that which they fabricate—[854]

25:32.

Important Words:

زخرف (gilded). They say زخرف البیت i.e. he adorned, decorated or embellished the house. زخرف الکلام means, he arranged or put into a right state the speech or language; he embellished it with lies, etc. زخرف means, gold; any ornament or decoration or embellishment; also anything adorned, decorated or embellished; anything embellished with false colouring or with lies (Aqrab).

For غرورا (in order to deceive) see 4:121.

Commentary:

The words, men and jinn, which occur in many verses of the Quran do not refer to two different species of God’s creatures, but only to two classes of human beings, i.e. "men" denoting the masses or the common folk, and jinn standing for the big people who often remain aloof from the common people and do not mix with them, practically remaining concealed from public gaze. See also 6:101.

Those of the common people and the big people who lead the opposition to the Prophets of God have been styled Shayatin (evil ones), for an explanation of which see note on 2:15. This word shows that those who lead lives of sin before the advent of a Prophet generally increase in sinfulness as a punishment for their evil deeds, so that when a Prophet makes his appearance, they assume the role of arch-enemies to him and become leaders of opposition. It is a law of God, in both the physical and spiritual worlds, that the powers of man develop in the direction in which they are exercised. So, as such men employ their powers in the wrong way, the result is that at the advent of a Prophet they become still greater sinners and become leaders of men in opposing the truth. Again, in order to augment their mischief, these leaders suggest, as hinted in the words, gilded speech, such arguments to one another as appear to be sound and true but are really false and hollow, and their object in suggesting such things is to deceive the weak-minded.

English - Short Commentary Translation

And [a]in like manner have We made for every Prophet an enemy, the evil ones from among men and jinn.[900] They suggest one to another gilded speech in order to deceive. And if thy Lord had enforced His Will, they would not have done it; so leave them alone with that which they fabricate.

25:32.

The words, men and jinn, which occur in many verses of the Qur’an do not signify two different species of God’s creatures, but two classes of human beings; "men" denoting the masses or the common folk, and "jinn" standing for the big people who often remain aloof from the common people and do not mix with them, practically remaining hidden from public gaze.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اسی طرح ہم نے ہر نبی کے لئے جن و اِنس کے شیطانوں کو دشمن بنا دیا۔ ان میں سے بعض بعض کی طرف ملمّع کی ہوئی باتیں دھوکہ دیتے ہوئے وحی کرتے ہیں۔ اور اگر تیرا ربّ چاہتا تو وہ ایسا نہ کرتے۔ پس تُو ان کو چھوڑ دے اور اُسے بھی جو وہ اِفترا کرتے ہیں۔

French

Et pareillement, à chaque Prophète Nous avons donné un ennemi ; ce sont des malins d’entre les hommes et les djinns. Ils se suggèrent les uns aux autres des paroles dorées pour induire les hommes en erreur ; et si ton Seigneur l’avait voulu, ils ne l’auraient pas fait. Laisse-les donc avec ce qu’ils inventent.

German

Also hatten Wir die Teufel unter den Menschen und den Jinn jedem Propheten zum Feind gemacht. Sie geben einander prunkende Rede ein zum Trug – und hätte dein Herr Seinen Willen erzwungen, sie hätten es nicht getan; so überlass sie sich selbst mit dem, was sie erdichten –

Chinese

[c]像这样我使人和精纳[455]中的背逆者成为每位使者的敌人。他们中的一些人为了欺骗另一些人, (在他们心中) 放置虚饰的言语。如果你的养主愿意, 那么, 他们不会这样做, 所以你不要理会他们和他们的虚伪行为。

25:32.

“人和 جِنّ (Jinn, 精纳)” 这些字, 在 «古兰经» 许多经文中出现, 并不意指安拉的两种不同创造物, 而是指两类人; “人” 指的是群众或一般人, 而 “精纳” 代表大人物, 他们常常脱离老百姓, 不同他们混在一起, 实际上大家老是见不到他们。

Italian

E similmente Noi abbiamo creato un nemico per ogni profeta, esseri malvagi venuti dagli uomini e dai Ğinn. Si scambiano discorsi indorati, per ingannare; ma se il tuo Signore avesse imposto la Sua volontà, essi non lo avrebbero fatto; per cui lasciali soli con quanto essi stessi si sono inventati.

Spanish

Y de igual manera opusimos a cada Profeta un enemigo, seres malvados de entre los hombres y los Yinn. Se dirigen mutuamente alabras cubiertas de oropel para engañar –y si tu Señor hubiera ejecutado Su voluntad, no lo habrían hecho-; ¡déjalos, pues, solos con lo que maquinan!

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ہم نے انسانوں اور جنوں میں سے سرکشوں کو اسی طرح ہر اک نبی کا دشمن بنا دیا تھا ان میں سے بعض بعض کو دھوکا دینے کے لئے (ان کے دل میں) برے[3] خیال ڈالتے ہیں جو محض ملمع کی بات ہوتی ہے اور اگر تیرا رب چاہتا تو وہ ایسا نہ کرتے۔ پس تو ان کو بھی اور ان کے جھوٹ کو بھی نظر انداز کردے۔

اصل لفظ کے معنے بُرے کے نہیں لیکن چونکہ وحی کا لفظ شیطان کے لئے آیا ہے اور اس آیت میں آگے آتا ہے کہ شیطان جھوٹی باتوں کا خیال پیدا کرتا ہے اس لئے ہم نے ترجمہ میں بُرے کا لفظ خیال سے پہلے بڑھا دیا ہے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور ہم نے تو اسی طرح ہمیشہ شیطان انسانوں اور شیطان جنوں کو ہر نبی کا دشمن بنایا ہے جو ایک دوسرے پر خوش آیند باتیں دھوکے اور فریب کے طور پر القا کرتے رہے ہیں اگر تمہارے رب کی مشیت یہ ہوتی کہ وہ ایسا نہ کریں تو وہ کبھی نہ کرتے پس تم اُنہیں ان کے حال پر چھوڑ دو کہ اپنی افترا پردازیاں کرتے رہیں

English - Sahih

And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اسی طرح ہم نے ہر نبی کے لیے شریر آدمیوں اور جنوں کو دشمن بنایا جو کہ ایک دوسرے کو طمع کرہوئی باتیں فریب دینے کے لیے سکھاتے ہیں اور اگر تیرا رب چاہتا تو یہ کام نہ کرتے سو تو انہیں اور جوجھوٹ بناتے ہیں اسے چھوڑ دے

English - Talal Itani
