العربیّا نور ماجدی (Arabic Noor Majadi)

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

10:50

قُل لَّاۤ اَمۡلِکُ لِنَفۡسِیۡ ضَرًّا وَّلَا نَفۡعًا اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰہُ ۗ لِکُلِّ اُمَّۃٍ اَجَلٌ ۚ اِذَا جَآءَ اَجَلُہُمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُوۡنَ سَاعَۃً ۖ وَّلَا یَسۡتَقۡدِمُوۡنَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Say, ‘I have no power for myself over any harm or benefit, save that which Allah wills. For every disbelieving people there is an appointed term. When their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single moment, nor can they get ahead of it.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

تُو کہہ دے کہ میں تو اپنے نفس کے لئے بھی نہ کسی نقصان کا کوئی اختیار رکھتا ہوں اور نہ نفع کا مگر (اتنا ہی) جو اللہ چاہے۔ ہر قوم کے لئے ایک اَجل مقرر ہے۔ جب ان کی اَجل آجائے تو نہ وہ ایک لمحہ پیچھے ہٹ سکتے ہیں اور نہ آگے بڑھ سکتے ہیں۔

French

. Dis : « Je n’ai aucun pouvoir sur le mal ou le bien pour moi-même sauf ce que veut Allāh. Pour chaque peuple, il y a un terme ; et quand vient l’expiration de leur terme, ils ne peuvent rester un seul instant en arrière ni le devancer. »

German

Sprich: "Ich habe aus mir selbst keine Macht über Wohl oder Wehe meiner Seele, außer, was Allah will. Jedes Volk hat eine Frist; und wenn ihre Frist um ist, so können sie auch nicht einen Augenblick dahinter zurückbleiben, noch können sie (ihr) vorauseilen."

Chinese

你 (对他们) 说: [c]除开安拉的意愿, 我甚至不掌握自己的利害。(当然这是真的:) [d]“每一个民族 (受惩) 的时间都是固定了的。当他们 (受惩) 的定期到来, 不能停留片刻 (以免除惩戒), 也不能越过定期 (而逃避惩罚)。”

7:189.

7:35; 16:62; 35:46.

Italian

Dì: «Io non ho il potere neanche per me stesso su alcun danno o vantaggio, tranne che per quello voluto da Allah. Per ogni popolo che non crede v'è un termine prestabilito, e quando il suo termine arriva, non può restare indietro di un solo attimo, né può precederlo.»

Spanish

Diles: “No tengo poder por mí mismo ni para perjudicar ni para eneficiar, excepto en lo que Al-lah desee. Para cada pueblo incrédulo hay un plazo fijado. Cuando llega a su término, no pueden retrasarlo un solo momento ni adelantarlo”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

تو (انہیں) کہہ (کہ) میں (تو) اللہ کی مشیت کے سوا (خود) اپنے حق میں (بھی) نہ کسی نقصان پر قابو رکھتا ہوں اور نہ کسی نفع پر (ہاں یہ درست ہے کہ) ہر ایک قوم کے (مستحق عذاب ہونے کے) لئے ایک میعاد مقرر ہوتی ہے‘ جب وہ آجاتی ہے تو (اس وقت) وہ نہ کوئی گھڑی (اس سے) پیچھے رہ (کہ اس سے بچ) سکتی[1] ہے اور نہ (ہی) آگے بڑھ (کر اس سے خلاصی پا) سکتی ہے۔

اُمَّۃٌ کا لفظ چونکہ مجموعۂ افراد پر بولا جاتا ہے۔ اس لئے لفظ کے لحاظ سے اس کی طرف مفرد ضمیر بھی جا سکتی ہے اور معنوں کے لحاظ سے جمع بھی۔ ہم نے مفرد کی ضمیر ترجمہ میں پھیری ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

Say, [c]‘I have no power over any harm or benefit[1267] for myself save that which Allah wills. [d]For every people there is an appointed term. When their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single moment, nor can they get ahead of it.’

7:189.

7:35; 16:62; 35:46.

This verse embodies a reply to the disbelievers’ demand for punishment (mentioned in the preceding verse). The Holy Prophet is bidden to ask them, how he could fulfil their demand for punishment when he possessed no power either to do good to, or avert evil from, himself.

English - Five Volume Translation

Say, [a]‘I have no power for myself over any harm or benefit, save that which Allah wills. [b]For every disbelieving people there is an appointed term. When their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single moment, nor can they get ahead of it.’[1325]

7:189.

7:35; 16:62; 35:46.

Commentary:

This verse embodies a reply to the disbelievers’ demand for punishment (mentioned in the preceding verse). The Holy Prophet is bidden to ask them how he could fulfil their demand for punishment when personally he possessed no power either to do good to, or avert evil from, himself. How clearly this and similar other verses show that the real object of the Quran is to uphold the Unity of God! The Quran cannot bear any human being, even the greatest of all the Prophets, to be regarded as equal to God.

The word امة (people) in this verse means those who disbelieve and not people generally as referred to in v. 48. The verse means to say that there comes a time when disbelievers meet their inevitable end and their place is taken by another people who follow the Divine Messenger. In other words, the Holy Prophet is made to say to disbelievers that, though it is not in his power to bring punishment on them, yet, as it is the immutable law of God that when a people take to evil ways they decline and fall, they will not be allowed to go unpunished and on their ashes a new people shall arise and a new era of truth shall dawn.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

کہو “میرے اختیار میں خود اپنا نفع و ضرر بھی نہیں، سب کچھ اللہ کی مشیّت پر موقوف ہے ہر امّت کے لیے مُہلت کی ایک مدّت ہے، جب یہ مدّت پُوری ہو جاتی ہے تو گھڑی بھر کی تقدیم و تاخیر بھی نہیں ہوتی"

English - Sahih

Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allah should will. For every nation is a [specified] term. When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]."

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

کہہ دومیں اپنی ذات کے برے اور بھلے کا بھی مالک نہیں مگر جو الله چاہے ہر امت کا ایک وقت مقرر ہے جب وہ وقت آتا ہے تو ایک گھڑی بھی دیر نہیں کر سکتےہیں اور نہ جلدی کر سکتے ہیں

English - Talal Itani

Say, "Not I have power for myself (for) any harm and not (for) any profit except what Allah wills. For every nation (is) a term. When comes their term, then not they remain behind an hour, and not they can precede (it)."
