English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

For him (the Messenger) is a succession of angels before him and behind him; they guard him by the command of Allah. Surely, Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts. And when Allah wishes to punish a people, there is no repelling it, nor have they any helper beside Him.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اُس کے لئے اُس کے آگے اور پیچھے چلنے والے محافظ (مقرر) ہیں جو اللہ کے حکم سے اس کی حفاظت کرتے ہیں۔ یقیناً اللہ کسی قوم کی حالت نہیں بدلتا جب تک وہ خود اُسے تبدیل نہ کریں جو اُن کے نفوس میں ہے۔ اور جب اللہ کسی قوم کے بدانجام کا فیصلہ کر لے تو کسی صورت اس کا ٹالنا ممکن نہیں۔ اور اس کے سوا اُن کے لئے کوئی کار ساز نہیں۔

French

Pour chacun, il y a des sentinelles qui se meuvent sans répit devant lui et derrière lui pour le protéger par ordre d’Allāh. Assurément, Allāh ne change pas la condition d’un peuple avant qu’ils n’aient changé ce qui est dans leurs cœurs. Et lorsqu’Allāh décide d’un mauvais résultat pour un peuple, nul ne peut le repousser et ils ne peuvent avoir de protecteur en dehors de Lui.

German

Für ihn (den Gesandten) ist eine Schar (von Engeln) vor ihm und hinter ihm; sie behüten ihn auf Allahs Geheiß. Gewiss, Allah ändert die Lage eines Volkes nicht, ehe sie nicht selbst das ändern, was in ihren Herzen ist. Und wenn Allah ein Volk zu bestrafen wünscht, so gibt es dagegen keine Abwehr, noch haben sie einen Helfer außer Ihm.

Chinese

在他 (穆圣) 前后有为他固定了的一系列 (天使), 他们奉安拉之命保护他。[d]除非一个民族改变他们内心状态, 安拉绝不会改变他们的情况。当安拉决定惩罚任何民族时, (那惩罚) 是不可以抵制的。而且除开安拉以外, 他们也不 (能) 得到任何帮助者。

Italian

Per lui (il messaggero) v'è un corteggio di angeli di fronte a lui e dietro a lui. Essi lo proteggono per ordine di Allah. Certo, Allah non muta la condizione di un popolo finché esso non muti quanto sta nel suo cuore. E quando Allah vuol punire un popolo, non vi è modo di evitarlo, ed esso non ha nessuno che lo aiuti, all'infuori di Lui.

Spanish

Para él (el Mensajero) hay una sucesión de ángeles delante y detrás de él, que lo guardan por mandato de Al-lah. En verdad, Al-lah no cambia el estado de un pueblo mientras ellos no cambien lo que hay en sus corazones. Cuando Al-lah desea castigar a un pueblo, nadie puede impedirlo, ni tienen socorredor alguno fuera de Él.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اس[1] کی طرف سے اس (رسول) کے آگے بھی اور اس کے پیچھے بھی (ایک دوسرے کے ساتھ ساتھ) آنے والی (ملائکہ کی) ایک جماعت (حفاظت کے لئے) مقرر ہے جو اللہ کے حکم سے اس کی حفاظت کر رہی ہے۔ اللہ کبھی بھی کسی قوم کی حالت کو نہیں بدلتا جب تک کہ وہ اپنی اندرونی حالت کو نہ بدلے[2] اور جب اللہ کسی قوم کے متعلق عذاب کا فیصلہ کر لیتا ہے تو اس (عذاب) کو ہٹانے والا کوئی نہیں ہوتا اور اس کے سوا ان کا اور کوئی (بھی) مددگار نہیں (ہوسکتا۔)

Important Words:

معقبات (a succession of angels) is the plural of معقب which is derived from عقب (‘aqaba). They say عقبه i.e. he came after him, as though at his heels; or he followed him closely or he succeeded him. عقب بغزاة بعد غزاة (‘aqqaba) means, he followed up one expedition with another. عقب فی الامر means, he went repeatedly to and fro; or he made repeated efforts to accomplish the affair: striving or exerting himself. معقب means, he who or that which comes after another. ملك معقب means, an angel that follows another. المعقبات means, the angels of the night and the day because they succeed one another by turns (the feminine form is used because of the frequency of their doing so, since in Arabic the feminine form is sometimes employed to impart emphasis and frequency as in علامة); utterance of سبحان الله and الحمد لله and الله اکبر repeated after Prayers. معقب also signifies one who makes warring expeditions repeatedly and does not stay with his family after his return; one who seeks after a thing repeatedly, striving or exerting himself; one who puts off or repels the payment of what is due from him (Lane).

Commentary:

The pronoun "him" in the words "for him" in the beginning of the verse refers to the Holy Prophet and the verse means that, like worldly kings, God has appointed body-guards for the Holy Prophet. This meaning is supported by the several unsuccessful attempts that were made on his life and the protection that God vouchsafed to him amidst the many mortal dangers which surrounded him. His life was constantly in danger, both at Mecca and Medina, but he remained safe because he enjoyed Divine protection, being guarded by angels and his own devoted Companions. The word معقباتrendered here as "a succession of angles" may refer both to the celestial beings in heaven and to the devoted Companions of the Holy Prophet who so eagerly guarded him with their lives.

The pronoun "him" may also have a wider application, meaning, every person. In this case, the verse would mean that God has appointed guardian angels for the protection of every person. He is exposed every moment to various kinds of dangers; for instance, innumerable harmful germs enter his body with every breath but God has provided the antidote in his very system and the germs very often fail to do him any harm. In diverse other ways also, man is providentially protected from dangers that assail him without his ever knowing of them.

If applied to disbelievers, the verse would imply a warning to them that if they did not desist from their evil ways, God would withdraw His protection from them and they would perish.

The words, Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts, do not mean that God shows no mercy or favour to the sinful and the wicked. It only means that He does not change His attitude of kindness and benignity to those of His servants who have earned His favour by good works, unless they effect a change in themselves and forsake the path of virtue and take to evil. The verse thus hints that when a people are visited with successive afflictions which drive them to ruin and destruction, that is a sure sign that they have become morally and spiritually degenerate.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

ہر شخص کے آگے اور پیچھے اس کے مقرر کیے ہوئے نگراں لگے ہوئے ہیں جو اللہ کے حکم سے اس کی دیکھ بھال کر رہے ہیں حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اللہ کسی قوم کے حال کو نہیں بدلتا جب تک وہ خود اپنے اوصاف کو نہیں بدل دیتی اور جب اللہ کسی قوم کی شامت لانے کا فیصلہ کر لے تو پھر وہ کسی کے ٹالے نہیں ٹل سکتی، نہ اللہ کے مقابلے میں ایسی قوم کا کوئی حامی و مدد گار ہو سکتا ہے

English - Sahih

For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

ہر شخص حفاظت کے لیے کچھ فرشتے ہیں اس کے آگے اورپیچھے الله کے حکم سے اس کی نگہبانی کرتے ہیں بے شک الله کسی قوم کی حالت نہیں بدلتا جب تک وہ خود اپنی حالت کو نہ بدلے اور جب الله کو کسی قوم کی برائی چاہتا ہے پھر اسے کوئی نہیں روک سکتا اور اس کے سوا ان کا کوئی مددگار نہیں ہو سکتا

English - Arberry

he has attendant angels, before him and behind him, watching over him by God's command. God changes not what is in a people, until they change what is in themselves. Whensover God desires evil for a people, there is no turning it back; apart from Him, they have no protector.

English - Maududi

There are guardians over everyone, both before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command. Verily Allah does not change a people's condition unless they change their inner selves. And when Allah decides to make a people suffer punishment, no one can avert it. Nor can any be of help to such a people against Allah.

English - Ahmed Ali

His angels keep watch over him in succession (night and day), in front and behind, by God's command. Verily God does not change the state of a people till they change themselves. When God intends misfortune for a people no one can avert it, and no saviour will they have apart from Him.

English - Yusuf Ali

For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts.

1427

The word Al-Mu‘aqqibat signifies, the angels of the night and the day because they succeed each other by turns. The plural feminine form is used because of the frequency of their doing so, since in Arabic the feminine form is sometimes employed to impart emphasis and frequency. The word, rendered here as 'a succession of angels,' may refer to the celestial beings in Heaven; or to the devoted Companions of the Holy Prophet who guarded him risking their lives.

English - Pickthall

For him are angels ranged before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command. Lo!

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

For him are (angels) guarding the consequences (of his deeds), before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah’s command.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

He has appointed a succession of angels in front of the Messenger and behind him to guard him by the command of Allah.
