اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو! اللہ کی طرف خالص توبہ کرتے ہوئے جھکو۔ بعید نہیں کہ تمہارا ربّ تم سے تمہاری برائیاں دورکردے اور تمہیں ایسی جنتوں میں داخل کرے جن کے دامن میں نہریں بہتی ہیں، جس دن اللہ نبی کو اور ان کو رُسوا نہیں کرے گا جو اس کے ساتھ ایمان لائے۔ ان کا نور ان کے آگے بھی تیزی سے چلے گا اور ان کے دائیں بھی۔ وہ کہیں گے اے ہمارے ربّ! ہمارے لئے ہمارے نور کو مکمل کردے اور ہمیں بخش دے۔ یقیناً تو ہر چیز پر جسے تُو چاہے دائمی قدرت رکھتا ہے۔

French

Ô vous qui croyez ! tournez-vous vers Allāh avec un repentir sincère. Il se peut que votre Seigneur vous enlève vos méfaits, et qu’Il vous fasse entrer dans des Jardins sous lesquels coulent des ruisseaux, le jour où Allāh ne couvrira pas d’ignominie le Prophète ni ceux qui ont cru avec lui. Leur lumière courra devant eux et sur leur côté droit. Ils diront : « Notre Seigneur, rends notre lumière parfaite pour nous et pardonne-nous ; assurément Tu as le pouvoir de faire tout ce que Tu veux. »

German

O die ihr glaubt, wendet euch zu Allah in aufrichtiger Reue. Vielleicht wird euer Herr eure Übel von euch nehmen und euch in Gärten führen, durch die Ströme fließen, am Tage, da Allah den Propheten nicht zuschanden machen wird noch jene, die mit ihm glauben. Ihr Licht wird vor ihnen her eilen und auf ihrer Rechten. Sie werden sprechen: "Unser Herr, mache unser Licht für uns vollkommen und vergib uns, denn Du vermagst alle Dinge zu tun."

O voi che credete! Volgetevi ad Allah con sincero pentimento. Può darsi che il vostro Signore vi liberi dalle inique conseguenze delle vostre azioni e vi faccia entrare in giardini in cui scorrono fiumi, nel giorno in cui Allah non umilierà il profeta, né coloro che hanno creduto insieme a lui. La loro luce correrà davanti a loro e alla loro destra. Essi diranno: «Signore nostro, fa' che la nostra luce risplenda in tutta la sua pienezza e perdonaci. Per certo, Tu sei, su tutte le cose che vuoi, Potente.»

Puede que vuestro Señor retire las consecuencias perversas de vuestras acciones y os permita entrar en Jardines por los que corren ríos, en el día en que Al-lah no afrentará al Profeta ni a quienes creyeron con él. Su luz correrá ante ellos y en sus diestras. Dirán: “Señor Nuestro, perfecciónanos nuestra luz y perdónanos; en verdad, Tú tienes poder sobre todas las cosas”.

48:6; 64:10.

1444

信者在天园中永无休止地追求完美的欲望在这句话中得到了表达: “我们的养主啊, 求你为了我们 (的益处) 完成我们的光辉吧。” 这说明天园中的生活并不是毫无生气的。相反, 天园中的精神进展将是无限的, 因为当信者获得某阶段所特有的美德的时候, 他们不会就此停止, 而是看到前面还有更高阶段的美德, 发现他们所达到的阶段并非最高阶段, 他们就继而向前, 永无止境。

1445

信者进入天园后将力求 مَغْفِرَة (Maghfirah), 即克服缺陷 (Lane)。他们将不停地祈求安拉赐予达到完美并完全沐浴在真主的光明中, 他们将继续向上, 把每一阶段与他们所祈求的更高阶段作比较看作有欠缺, 因此将祈求安拉使其度过有欠缺的阶段, 以便他们能够到达更高阶段。这是 اِسْتِغْفَار (Istighfar) 的真正含意, 字面上的意思是“请求宽恕过失。”

Commentary:

The never-ceasing desire for perfection on the part of believers in Paradise as expressed in the words, "Our Lord perfect our light for us," shows that life in Paradise will not be a life of inaction. On the contrary, spiritual advance in Paradise will know no end, for as the believers will attain excellence, characteristic of a certain stage, they will not stop at that, but seeing in front of it a higher stage of excellence and thus finding that the stage at which they had arrived was not the highest stage, will desire the attainment of the next higher stage, and so on without end.

In short the believers will go on making advancement in Paradise and shall never recede a step. Their activity far from ceasing will rather increase. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said that in Paradise the believers will be imparted knowledge of new attributes of God which they will try to copy in themselves.

From the verse it further appears that after entering Paradise, the believers will seek maghfirah, i.e. "suppression of a defect." In this sense of maghfirah the verse means that the righteous will be continually praying to God for the attainment of perfection and complete immersion in divine light. They will be continually going upwards and will regard each state as defective in comparison with a higher one to which they will aspire and will, therefore, pray to God to suppress the defective state that they may be able to get to the higher one. This is the true significance of Istighfar of which the literal meaning is, "asking forgiveness for one’s lapses."
