6:79

فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هَٰذَا رَبِّى هَٰذَآ أَكْبَرُ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَتْ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And when he saw the sun rise with spreading light, he said: ‘This is my Lord, this is the greatest.’ But when it set, he said, ‘O my people, surely I am clear of that which you associate with God.

Verses 77 to 79 contain an argument which Abraham employed to bring home to his idolatrous people the absurdity of their belief that the sun, the moon and the stars were so many gods which they worshipped (Jew. Enc.). It is wrong to infer from these verses that Abraham was himself groping in the dark and did not know Who his God was, and that he took the evening star, the moon, and the sun for God one after the other and, when each of them set in its turn, he gave up his belief in their divinity and turned to the One God, the Creator of heavens and earth. In fact, the passage contains several arguments to show that Abraham, far from taking these heavenly bodies for gods, sought to demonstrate to his people the vanity of their beliefs step by step. Verses 75, 76 show that Abraham was a firm believer in One God. He could not, therefore, be considered as groping in the dark and wandering from one deity to another. The words, "can this be my Lord" constituted an argument against star-worship. He said these wor

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

پھر جب اس نے سورج کو چمکتا ہوا دیکھا تو کہا (گویا) یہ میرا ربّ ہے۔یہ (ان) سب سے بڑا ہے۔ پس جب وہ بھی ڈوب گیا تو اُس نے کہا اے میری قوم! یقیناً میں اُس شرک سے جو تم کرتے ہو سخت بیزار ہوں۔

French

Et quand il vit le soleil se lever et répandre sa lumière, il dit : « Voici mon Seigneur ; celui-ci est le plus grand de tous. » Mais quand lui aussi se coucha, il dit : « Ô mon peuple, me voici déchargé totalement de ce que vous associez à Allāh.

German

Als er die Sonne sah, ihr Licht ausbreitend, da sprach er: "Ist das mein Herr, das ist das Größte?" Da sie aber unterging, sprach er: "O mein Volk, ich habe nichts zu tun mit dem, was ihr anbetet.

(后来) 当他看见光辉的太阳, 便说: “这 (能) 是我的养主? 这当然是最大的。” 当它也落下了, 他说: “我与你们所妄作的 (与安拉) 同等的崇拜对象是毫无关系的。”[433]

第77到79节经文中具有一个论证, 伊布拉欣用它来使他的多神教民族清楚地看到, 他们相信太阳、月亮和星星是他们崇拜的如此多的众神灵是何等的荒谬 (犹太百科全书)。如果从这些经文中得出推断, 说伊布拉欣自己也在黑暗中摸索而不知道谁是他的安拉, 说他把夜间的星星、月亮和太阳当作一个一个神, 然后在它们轮流落下时, 才放弃了他对它们神性的信仰, 转而归信唯一的安拉--------天地的创造者--------的话, 那么, 这种推断是错误的。事实上, 这段经文含有几个论证来说明伊布拉欣绝对没有把这些天体当作众神灵, 而是竭力想一步一步显示给他的民族看, 他们的种种信念是空虚无用的。经文75-76节表明, 伊布拉欣坚定信仰唯一的安拉。因此他不可能被认为是在暗中摸索而徘徊於神与神之间。“这能是我的养主吗?” 这些字是反对崇拜太阳的论证。他讲这句话意在揭露他的民族相信太阳是他们的养主。而且他已经知道太阳一定会落下。因此他的论证中含有 “我不喜爱没落者” 这句话, 肯定早已存在他的思想中。实际上, 他想以一种最有效的方式来使用这一论证。因此他先假设太阳为他的养主, 等它消失后, 他立即宣称 “我不喜爱没落者”。月亮与太阳落下的情况是相似的。他用 “较大” 或 “最大” 来讽刺太阳, 为了刺激他的民族的愚蠢。这清楚表明, 伊布拉欣想用他所采取的种种论证逐渐把他的民族引到安拉那里去。只要看一看经文80-82就能非常清楚地看出, 伊布拉欣不但坚定地相信安拉, 而且深深知晓安拉的常德。

پھر جب اس نے سورج کو چمکتے ہوئے دیکھا تو اس نے کہا کہ (کیا) یہ میرا رب (ہوسکتا) ہے یہ بیشک سب سے بڑا ہے پھر جب وہ (بھی) غائب ہو گیا تو اس نے کہا کہ میں اس سے جسے تم (خدا کا) شریک بناتے ہو بالکل بیزار ہوں۔
