English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
In the form of extended columns.
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
ایسے ستونوں میں جو کھینچ کر لمبے کئے گئے ہیں۔
German
in ausgestreckten Säulen.
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
اور (وہ لوگ اس وقت) لمبے ستونوں کے ساتھ بندھے ہوئے ہونگے۔
یعنی جب عذاب الٰہی آئے گا تو اللہ تعالیٰ کا رحم چاہے گا کہ ان کو دوزخ سے باہر نکالے لیکن ان کے باپ دادوں کی روایات جس پر وہ چلتے تھے اور ان کی رسوم و عادات ان کو دوزخ میں رکھنے پر مصر ہوں گی۔ کیونکہ انہی کی وجہ سے انہوں نے ایسے عمل کیے جن کے باعث وہ دوزخ کے سخت عذاب کے مستحق بن گئے۔
English - Short Commentary Translation
In outstretched columns.
The "outstretched columns" are bad habits, evil customs and usages which would not let disbelievers conform their lives to beneficent standards and values.
English - Five Volume Translation
In extended columns.
Commentary:
The verse may mean: (1) Disbelievers will be bound down to tall columns when the fire will burn them, i.e. they will be quite helpless and will find no escape or refuge from Divine punishment. (2) They will burn in a furnace of which the columns will be very tall. This again is a metaphor pointing to the severity of the punishment of Hell. The tall columns may also signify evil customs and usages of disbelievers. These bad customs and traditions will take the form of tall columns in the next life.
اردو ترجمہ مودودی
(اِس حالت میں کہ وہ) اونچے اونچے ستونوں میں (گھرے ہوئے ہوں گے)
