6:44

فَلَوْلَآ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا۟ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Why, then, when Our punishment came upon them, did they not grow humble? But their hearts were hardened and Satan made all that they did seem fair to them.

English - Five Volume Translation

Why, then, when Our punishment came upon them, did they not grow humble? But [a]their hearts were hardened and [b]Satan made all that they did seem fair to them.[790]

2:75; 57:17.

6:123; 8:49; 16:64; 29:39.

Commentary:

The words لولا (why not) are here used not to express mere interrogation, but also to express feelings of pity. Thus the verse signifies, "They ought to have humbled themselves before God; but it is a pity that they did not."

The afflictions were really a mercy from God, but, instead of turning to God, the people became hard-hearted. When misfortunes befell them, they ascribed them not to their own iniquities but to the Prophets.

The words, all that they did, refer to the hostile activities of disbelievers.

English - Short Commentary Translation

6:123; 8:49; 16:64; 29:39.

The words lau la are not here used to express mere interrogation but also a feeling of pity. Thus the verse signifies: "They ought to have humbled themselves before God; but it is a pity that they did not."

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

پس جب ہماری طرف سے ان پر سختی (کی مصیبت) آئی کیوں نہ انہوں نے گِریہ و زاری کی۔ لیکن ان کے دل سخت ہو چکے تھے اور شیطان نے ان کو وہ اعمال خوبصورت کرکے دکھائے جو وہ کیا کرتے تھے۔

پھر کیوں نہ ایسا ہوا کہ جب ان پر ہمارا عذاب آیا تھا تو وہ عجز اختیار کر لیتے بلکہ ان کے دل (تو اور بھی) سخت ہو گئے اور شیطان نے اسے جو وہ کرتے تھے انہیں خوبصورت کرکے دکھایا۔
