اَلَاۤ اِنَّ لِلّٰہِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ۗ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ وَعۡدَ اللّٰہِ حَقٌّ وَّلٰکِنَّ اَکۡثَرَہُمۡ لَا یَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
2:285; 10:67; 31:27.
آیت میں دو جگہ اَ لَا کا لفظ آیا ہے جس کے معنے ہوشیار کرنے کے ہیں۔ ہم نے پہلے اَ لَا کا ترجمہ ’’سنو‘‘ کر دیا ہے اور دوسرے اَلاَ کا ترجمہ ’’اور‘‘ کرکے اس کے ساتھ ملا دیا ہے اور اردو درست ہوگئی ہے۔
2:285; 10:67; 31:27.
2:285; 10:67; 31:27.
Commentary:
The verse points to a great truth. As all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah it is vain and foolish to try to please Him or His Messengers by offering them bribes (see the preceding verse). The Prophets of God cannot be prevented from carrying out their mission for the sake of bribes. The Meccans, desiring to stop the preaching of the Holy Prophet against idolatry, offered him every kind of bribe; but the only reply which all those bribes and temptations elicited from him was to the effect that even if they placed the sun on his right and the moon on his left, he would not give up his mission (Hisham & Zurqani).
The fact is that as kings and potentates need the things of this world, therefore bribes and ransoms please them, but God Himself being the Creator of all things, ransoms have no value for Him except that one should offer the sacrifice of one’s own self, which finds ready acceptance with Him, for such sacrifice is a means of self-purification.
