English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

18:47

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of this world. But enduring good works are better in the sight of thy Lord in respect of immediate reward, and better in respect of future hope.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

مال اور اولاد دنیا کی زندگی کی زینت ہیں اور باقی رہنے والی نیکیاں تیرے ربّ کے نزدیک ثواب کے طور پر بہتر اور امنگ کے لحاظ سے بہت اچھی ہیں۔

French

Les richesses et les enfants sont une parure de la vie de ce monde. Mais les bonnes œuvres durables valent mieux aux yeux de ton Seigneur eu égard à la récompense immédiate, et valent mieux en ce qui concerne l’espoir futur.

German

Besitz und Kinder sind Schmuck irdischen Lebens. Die bleibenden guten Werke aber sind lohnender bei deinem Herrn und hoffnungsvoller.

Chinese

Spanish

La riqueza y los hijos son las galas de la vida de este mundo. Pero la perseverancia en las buenas obras es mejor, a la vista de tu Señor, en cuanto a la recompensa inmediata y mejor en cuanto a la esperanza futura.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

مال اور بیٹے اس ورلی زندگی کی زینت ہیں اور باقی رہنے والے نیک (اور مناسب حال) کام (ہی جو ان چیزوں سے لئے جائیں) تیرے رب کے نزدیک بدلہ کے لحاظ سے (بھی) بہتر ہیں اور امید کے لحاظ سے (بھی) بہتر ہیں۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

[e]Wealth and children areornaments of the life of this world. But enduring good works are better in the sight of thy Lord in respect of immediate reward, and better in respect of future hope.

3:15; 57:21.

English - Five Volume Translation

[a]Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of this world. But enduring good works are better in the sight of thy Lord in respect of immediate reward, and better in respect of future hope.[2087]

3:15; 57:21.

Commentary:

Riches and children are the ornament of this life and add to its beauty and splendour and generally make men forget God but they can also be employed to serve a very noble cause. Money spent in a righteous cause leaves behind permanent good results. Young men who dedicate their lives to the service of their community, country or humanity at large are not only themselves remembered with honour long after they are dead but also perpetuate the memories of their ancestors. This is the substance and significance of this verse.

The words, are better in the sight of thy Lord in respect of immediate reward and better in respect of future hope, may have two meanings: (a) That good works produce good results in this life and also form the basis of hope for rich reward in the hereafter. (b) That good works not only benefit the doer himself but also his posterity. It is a divine law that the posterity of a righteous man partakes of the divineblessings conferred upon him.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

یہ مال اور یہ اولاد محض دُنیوی زندگی کی ایک ہنگامی آرائش ہے اصل میں تو باقی رہ جانے والی نیکیاں ہی تیرے رب کے نزدیک نتیجے کے لحاظ سے بہتر ہیں اور اُنہی سے اچھی اُمّیدیں وابستہ کی جا سکتی ہیں

English - Sahih

Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

مال اور اولاد تو دنیا کی زندگی کی رونق ہیں اور تیرے رب کے ہاں باقی رہنے والی نیکیاں ثواب اور آخرت کی امید کے لحاظ سے بہتر ہیں

English - Talal Itani

The wealth and children (are) adornment (of) the life (of) the world. But the enduring good deeds (are) better near your Lord (for) reward and better (for) hope.
