7:101

أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَآ أَن لَّوْ نَشَآءُ أَصَبْنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Does it not afford guidance to those who have inherited the earth in succession to its former inhabitants, that if We please, We can smite them for their sins and seal up their hearts, so that they should not hear?

English - Five Volume Translation

[a]Does it not afford guidance to those who have inherited the earth in succession to its former inhabitants, that if We please, We can smite them for their sins and [b]seal up their hearts, so that they should not understand?[997]

20:129; 32:27.

10:75; 16:109; 45:24.

Commentary:

The veiled threat in the preceding verse is openly made in the present one. The enemies of Islam should either take lesson from the sad end of those gone before them and give up offering opposition to it or be prepared for a similar doom. The word یسمعون (understand) here signifies not listening but understanding (Lane).

English - Short Commentary Translation

[c]Does it not lead those, who have inherited the earth in succession to its former inhabitants, to realize that if We please, We can smite them also for their sins and [d]seal up their hearts, so that they would not listen to words of guidance.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور کیا اُن لوگوں کو جنہوں نے زمین اس میں بسنے والوں کے بعد ورثہ میں پائی یہ بات ہدایت نہ دے سکی کہ اگر ہم چاہیں تو انہیں ان کے گناہوں کی پاداش میں سزا دیں اور ان کے دلوں پر مہر کر دیں۔ پھر وہ کچھ سُن (اور سمجھ) نہ سکیں۔

French

Cela ne sert-il pas de guide à ceux qui ont reçu la terre en héritage après ses anciens habitants pour qu’ils réalisent que si Nous le voulons, Nous pouvons les frapper aussi pour leurs péchés, et leur sceller le cœur, de sorte qu’ils ne puissent rien écouter ou comprendre ?

German

Leuchtet das jenen nicht ein, die die Erde ererbt haben nach ihren (früheren) Bewohnern, dass Wir, wenn es Uns gefällt, sie treffen können für ihre Sünden und ihre Herzen versiegeln, so dass sie nicht verstehen?

Chinese

[c]那些继承了大地上原有居民的人, 如果我愿意的话, 那么, 由于他们的罪过,我也能降给他们惩罚, [d]也能封闭他们的心, 他们将不能倾听 (正道的劝告)。这还不能启发他们的理智?

20:129; 32:27.

10:75; 16:109; 45:24.

Italian

Forse che non è una guida per coloro che hanno ereditato la terra da suoi precedenti abitanti il comprendere che se Noi vogliamo, possiamo colpirli per i loro peccati e sigillare i loro cuori, sicché non potrebbero udire?

Spanish

¿No sirve de guía a quienes han heredado la tierra sucediendo a sus anteriores habitantes, saber que si queremos podemos castigarlos por sus pecados y sellar sus corazones para que no oigan?

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

کیا ان لوگوں کو جو اس کے اصل باشندوں کے بعد زمین کے وارث بنے اس بات نے عقل نہیں دی کہ اگر ہم چاہیں تو ان کے گناہوں کی وجہ سے ان پر بھی عذاب نازل کر سکتے ہیں اور ان کے دلوں پر مہر بھی لگا سکتے ہیں جس کی وجہ سے وہ ہدایت کی باتوں کو سن نہیں سکیں گے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور کیا اُن لوگوں کو جو سابق اہل زمین کے بعد زمین کے وارث ہوتے ہیں، اِس امر واقعی نے کچھ سبق نہیں دیا کہ اگر ہم چاہیں تو ان کے قصوروں پر انہیں پکڑ سکتے ہیں؟ (مگر وہ سبق آموز حقائق سے تغافل برتتے ہیں) اور ہم ان کے دلوں پر مہر لگا دیتے ہیں، پھر وہ کچھ نہیں سنتے

English - Sahih

Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

کیا ان لوگو ں پر جو زمین کے وارث ہوئے ہیں وہاں کے لوگوں کے ہلاک ہونے کے بعد یہ ظاہر نہیں ہوا کہ اگر ہم چاہیں تو انہیں ان کے گناہوں کے سبب سے پکڑ لیں اور ہم نے ان کے دلوں پر مہر لگا دی ہے پس وہ نہیں سنتے

English - Talal Itani

Would it not guide [for] those who inherit the land from after its people that if We willed, We (could) afflict them for their sins and We put a seal over their hearts so they (do) not hear?

English - Maududi

Has it not, then, become plain to those who have inherited the earth in the wake of the former generations that, had We so willed, We could have afflicted them for their sins, (they, however, are heedless to basic facts and so) We seal their hearts so that they hear nothing.
