English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

16:94

وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if Allah had enforced His will, He would surely have made you all one people; but He lets go astray him who wishes it, and guides him who wishes it; and you shall surely be questioned concerning that which you have been doing.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر اللہ چاہتا تو ضرور تمہیں اُمّتِ واحدہ بنا دیتا لیکن وہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہ ٹھہراتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت دیتا ہے اور تم یقیناً پوچھے جاؤ گے اُن اعمال کے بارہ میں جو تم کرتے تھے۔

French

Et Si Allāh avait imposé Sa volonté, Il aurait assurément fait de vous tous un seul peuple ; mais Il laisse s’égarer qui le veut et Il guide qui le veut, et vous serez assurément interrogés sur ce que vous avez fait.

German

Und hätte Allah gewollt, Er hätte euch sicherlich zu einer einzigen Gemeinde gemacht; jedoch Er lässt den irregehen, der es will, und führt den richtig, der es will, und ihr werdet gewiss zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden für das, was ihr getan.

Chinese

[a]如果安拉 (强行自己的) 意志, 那么, 他一定使你们成为一个民族; 但 (他并不这样做, )而让自己想迷误的人走入歧途, 并引导自己想 (获得引导) 的人, 你们将因你们经常所做的事情而定要受审。

5:49; 11:119.

Italian

E se Allah avesse voluto, avrebbe certo fatto di voi tutti un popolo. Egli invece lascia fuorviare chi Egli vuole, e guida chi Egli vuole. E certamente vi sarà chiesto conto di quanto avete fatto.

Spanish

Mas si Al-lah hubiese ejecutado Su Voluntad, ciertamente os habría convertido a todos en un solo pueblo; pero Él deja que se extravíe quien lo desee, y guía a quien lo desea; y en verdad seréis interrogados sobre cuanto hayáis hecho.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اگر اللہ اپنی (ہی) مشیت نافذ کرتا تو وہ تم (سب) کو ایک ہی جماعت بناتا۔ لیکن (وہ ایسا نہیں کرتا بلکہ) جو شخص (گمراہی کو) چاہتا ہے اسے وہ گمراہ کرتا ہے اور جو (ہدایت کو) چاہتا ہے اسے ہدایت دیتا ہے اور جو کچھ تم کیا کرتے ہو اس کے متعلق (قیامت کے دن) تم سے پوچھا جائے گا۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And [a]if Allah had enforced His Will, He would surely have made you all one people; but He lets go astray him who wishes it, and guides him who wishes it, and you shall surely be questioned concerning that which you have been doing.

5:49; 11:119.

English - Five Volume Translation

And [a]if Allah had enforced His will, He would surely have made you all one people; but He lets go astray him who wishes it, and guides him who wishes it; and you shall surely be questioned concerning that which you have been doing.[1894]

5:49; 11:119.

Commentary:

The verse means to say that the authors of such treaties as are concluded with the intent to deceive other peoples have in view no object other than that of establishing their own dominion in the world. But, says the Quran, if it had been the will of God that there should be only one dominant power in the earth, He Himself would have made one. There is therefore no justification in having recourse to dishonest means for the purpose of subduing other nations. A nation which seeks to impose its will and foist its domination upon other peoples against their consent will itself someday fall victim to the evil designs of another nation and lose its freedom.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اگر اللہ کی مشیت یہ ہوتی (کہ تم میں کوئی اختلاف نہ ہو) تو وہ تم سب کو ایک ہی امت بنا دیتا، مگر وہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہی میں ڈالتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے راہ راست دکھا دیتا ہے، اور ضرور تم سے تمہارے اعمال کی باز پرس ہو کر رہے گی

English - Sahih

And if Allah had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اگر الله چاہتا تو تم سب کو ایک ہی جماعت بنا دیتا اورلیکن وہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہی میں پڑا رہنے دیتا ہے اور جسے چاہتاہے ہدایت دیتا ہے اور البتہ تم سے پوچھا جائے گا کہ کیا کرتےتھے

English - Talal Itani

And if Allah (had) willed surely He (could) have made you a nation one, but He lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And surely you will be questioned about what you used (to) do.
