English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

12:110

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And We sent not before thee as Messengers any but men, whom We inspired, from among the people of the towns. Have they not then travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? And surely, the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear God. Will you not then understand?

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ہم نے تجھ سے پہلے بستیوں کے باشندوں میں سے کبھی کسی کو نہیں بھیجا مگر مَردوں کو جن کی طرف ہم وحی کیا کرتے تھے۔ پس کیا انہوں نے زمین میں سیر نہیں کی کہ وہ دیکھ سکتے کہ اُن لوگوں کا انجام کیسا تھا جو ان سے پہلے تھے۔ اور آخرت کا گھر ہی اُن لوگوں کے لئے بہتر ہے جنہوں نے تقویٰ سے کام لیا۔ پس کیا تم عقل نہیں کرتے؟

French

Et avant toi Nous n’avons envoyé en tant que Messagers que des hommes que Nous avons inspirés parmi les habitants des cités. N’ont-ils donc pas parcouru la terre, et n’ont-ils pas vu quel a été le sort de leurs devanciers ? Et assurément, l’habitation de l’au-delà vaut mieux pour ceux qui craignent Allāh. Ne comprendrez-vous donc pas ?

German

Auch vor dir entsandten Wir nur Männer, denen Wir Offenbarung gaben, aus dem Volk der Städte. Haben sie denn nicht die Erde durchwandert und gesehen, wie das Ende derer vor ihnen war? Und gewiss, die Wohnstatt des Jenseits ist besser für die Gottesfürchtigen. Wollt ihr denn nicht begreifen?

Chinese

[b]在你之前, 我从城市的居民中只派遣男子作为使者, 把我的启示降赐他们。他们 (不信者) 未曾在大地上旅行, 以观察前人的结局是怎样的? 后世住所对于敬畏 (安拉) 的人确是更好的。难道你们还不运用理智?

16:44; 21:8.

Italian

E Noi non mandammo prima di te come messaggeri nessuno se non degli uomini, che Noi ispirammo, fra la gente delle città. Non hanno essi viaggiato sulla terra, vedendo quale fu la fine di quelli che li avevano preceduti? E di certo la dimora nell'Aldilà è migliore per quelli che temono Dio. Non lo volete capire?

Spanish

Pues antes de ti no enviamos como mensajeros sino a hombres, a quienes inspiramos de entre los habitantes de las ciudades. ¿Acaso no han recorrido la tierra y han visto cuál fue el fin de los que les precedieron? En verdad, la morada del Más Allá es mejor para los que temen a Dios. ¿Acaso no comprenderéis?

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور تجھ سے پہلے (بھی) ہم (لوگوں کی رہنمائی کے لئے ہمیشہ) انہی (دنیا کی) بستیوں کے رہنے والے مردوں ہی کو جن پر ہم (اپنی) وحی نازل کرتے تھے رسالت دے کر بھیجتے رہے ہیں تو کیا یہ (لوگ) زمین میں نہیں پھرے تا دیکھتے (کہ) جو (لوگ) ان سے پہلے (انبیاء کے منکر) تھے ان کا انجام کیسا ہوا تھا؟ اور آخرت کا گھر ان لوگوں کے لئے جنہوں نے تقویٰ اختیار کیا یقیناً زیادہ بہتر ہے پھر کیا تم عقل سے کام نہیں لیتے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And [b]We sent not before thee as Messengers any but men to whom We sent revelation, from among the people of the towns. Have they not then travelled in the earth so that they should see what was the end of those before them? And surely, the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah. Will you not then use your understanding?’

16:44; 21:8.

English - Five Volume Translation

And [b]We sent not before thee as Messengers any but men, whom We inspired, from among the people of the towns. Have they not then travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? And surely, the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear God. Will you not then understand?[1609]

16:44; 21:8.

Commentary:

It is clear from this verse that only men, not women, can become Prophets. In fact, men and women have their specific spheres of work, the office of prophethood being outside the sphere of women. All other spiritual favours and blessings, however, are as open to women as to men.

The verse also warns disbelievers that their present pomp and power should not deceive them into thinking that they will indefinitely continue to enjoy these things. The time was fast approaching when their power and glory would depart and the people would see the truth and accept Islam. Their days would end in adversity and degradation, unlike those of the believers, whose condition would continue to improve, though sincere believers always enjoy perfect peace of mind even in adversity.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے محمدؐ، تم سے پہلے ہم نے جو پیغمبر بھیجے تھے وہ سب بھی انسان ہی تھے، اور انہی بستیوں کے رہنے والوں میں سے تھے، اور اُنہی کی طرف ہم وحی بھیجتے رہے ہیں پھر کیا یہ لوگ زمین میں چلے پھرے نہیں ہیں کہ اُن قوموں کا انجام انہیں نظر نہ آیا جو ان سے پہلے گزر چکی ہیں؟ یقیناً آخرت کا گھر اُن لوگوں کے لیے اور زیادہ بہتر ہے جنہوں نے (پیغمبروں کی بات مان کر) تقویٰ کی روش اختیار کی کیا اب بھی تم لوگ نہ سمجھو گے؟

English - Sahih

And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah; then will you not reason?

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

ااور تجھ سے پہلے ہم نے جتنے پیغمبر بھیجے وہ سب بستیو ں کے رہنے و الے مرد ہی تھے ہم ان کی طرف وحی بھیجتے تھے پھر وہ زمین میں سیر کر کے کیوں نہیں دیکھتے کہ ان لوگو ں کا انجام کیا ہوا جوان سے پہلے تھے اور البتہ آخرت کا گھر پرہیز کرنے والوں کے لیے بہتر ہے پھر تم کیوں نہیں سمجھتے

English - Talal Itani

And not We sent before you, but men We revealed to them from (among) (the) people (of) the townships. So have not they traveled in the earth and seen how was (the) end (of) those who (were) before them? And surely the home (of) the Hereafter (is) best for those who fear Allah. Then will not you use reason?

English - Arberry

We sent not forth any before thee, but men We revealed to of the people living in the cities. Have they not journeyed in the land? Have they not beheld how was the end of those before them?. Surely the abode of the world to come is better for those that are godfearing. What, do you not understand?

English - Maududi

The Messengers whom We raised before you, (O Muhammad), and to whom We sent down revelations, were only human beings, and were from among those living in earthly habitations. Have these people not travelled in the earth that they may observe the end of their predecessors? Certainly the abode of the Hereafter is much better for those (who accepted the call of the Messengers and) acted in a God-fearing manner. Will you still not act with good sense?

English - Ahmed Ali

All the apostles We had sent before you were men of those regions, to whom We sent Our revelations. Have they not travelled on the earth and seen what befell the people before them? Surely the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear straying from the right path. Do you not understand?

English - Yusuf Ali

Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any but men, whom we did inspire,- (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?

We sent not before thee (any messengers) save men whom We inspired from among the folk of the townships - Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? And verily the abode of the Hereafter, for those who ward off (evil), is best. Have ye then no sense? -

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And We sent not before thee any but men, from the people of the towns, to whom We sent revelation. Have they not then travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those before them? And certainly the abode of the Hereafter is best for those who keep their duty. Do you not then understand?

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Before thee also, We sent as Messengers men to whom We sent revelation from among the dwellers of earthly towns. Have they not, then, travelled in the earth; so as to witness the end of those before them who rejected Our Messengers? Surely, the abode of the Hereafter is better for the righteous. Will you not, then, understand?
