English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

16:117

وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَٰلٌ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And say not — because of the falsehood which your tongues utter — ‘This is lawful, and this is unlawful,’ so as to forge a lie against Allah. Surely, those who forge a lie against Allah do not prosper.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور تم ان چیزوں کے بارہ میں جن کے متعلق تمہاری زبانیں جھوٹ بیان کرتی ہیں یہ نہ کہا کرو کہ یہ حلال ہے اور یہ حرام تاکہ تم اللہ پر بہتان تراشو۔ یقیناً وہ لوگ جو اللہ پر جھوٹ گھڑتے ہیں کامیاب نہیں ہوا کرتے۔

French

Et ne dites pas – à cause du mensonge que prononcent vos langues – « Ceci est licite, et ceci est illicite, » afin de fabriquer des mensonges contre Allāh. Assurément ceux qui fabriquent des mensonges contre Allāh ne prospèrent pas.

German

Und sagt nicht – aufgrund der Falschheit eurer Zungen –: "Das ist erlaubt, und das ist nicht erlaubt", so dass ihr eine Lüge erdichtet gegen Allah. Die eine Lüge gegen Allah erdichten, sie haben keinen Erfolg.

Chinese

[a]关于你们的舌头吐露假话的那些事情你们不要说: “这是合法的, 那是非法的。” 以致成为假借安拉之名而捏造虚假的人。凡是假借安拉之名而捏造虚假的人, 他们不会成功。

6:145.

Italian

E non affermate per via delle falsità che le vostre lingue pronunciano: «Questo è lecito e questo è illecito», per inventare così menzogne contro Allah. Certo, coloro che inventano menzogne contro Allah non prosperano.

Spanish

No digáis –por la falsedad que profieren vuestras lenguas-: “Esto es lícito y aquello ilícito”, forjando una mentira contra Al-lah. En verdad, quienes forjan mentiras contra Al-lah no prosperarán.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اپنی زبانوں کے جھوٹے بیانوں کے سبب سے (یہ) مت کہو کہ یہ حلال ہے اور یہ حرام ہے (تا ایسا نہ ہو) کہ تم اللہ پر جھوٹ باندھنے والے بن جاؤ۔ جو لوگ اللہ پر جھوٹ باندھتے ہیں وہ ہرگز کامیاب نہیں ہوتے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

[a]And say not—because of the falsehood which your tongues utter—‘This is lawful, and this is unlawful,’ so as to be of those who forge lies against Allah. Surely, those who forge lies against Allah do not prosper.

6:145.

English - Five Volume Translation

[a]And say not—because of the falsehood which your tongues utter—‘This is lawful, and this is unlawful,’ so as to forge a lie against Allah. Surely, those who forge a lie against Allah do not prosper.[1917]

6:145.

Commentary:

The opening sentence of the verse may have two interpretations: (a) "and say not on the basis of the falsehood which your tongues utter that this is lawful and this is unlawful"; (b) "and say not about the things which your tongues have falsely declared as lawful or unlawful that this is lawful and this is unlawful". The words "your tongues" mean, "the tongues of the chiefs of people", because it is the leaders who first utter lies; the common people only follow and imitate them.

The verse means to say that it is the exclusive prerogative of God to declare things lawful or unlawful and that if disbelievers do not desist from declaring things lawful or unlawful at will, they will end by forging lies against God. The words, those who forge a lie against Allah do not prosper, embody an infallible criterion by which the truth of a Prophet of God can be tested. A false claimant is a forger of lies against God and such a one can never succeed in his mission.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور یہ جو تمہاری زبانیں جھوٹے احکام لگایا کرتی ہیں کہ یہ چیز حلال ہے اور وہ حرام، تو اس طرح کے حکم لگا کر اللہ پر جھوٹ نہ باندھا کرو جو لوگ اللہ پر جھوٹے افترا باندھتے ہیں وہ ہرگز فلاح نہیں پایا کرتے

English - Sahih
