English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

22:74

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَٱسْتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا۟ ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيْـًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلْمَطْلُوبُ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

O men, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it. Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak indeed are both the seeker and the sought.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اے انسانو! ایک اہم مثال بیان کی جا رہی ہے پس اسے غور سے سنو۔ یقیناً وہ لوگ جنہیں تم اللہ کے سوا پکارتے ہو ہرگز ایک مکھی بھی نہ بنا سکیں گے خواہ وہ اِس کے لئے اکٹھے ہوجائیں اور اگر مکھی ان سے کچھ چھین لے تو وہ اُس کو اس سے چھڑا نہیں سکتے۔ کیا ہی بے بس ہے (فیض کا) طالب اور وہ جس سے (فیض) طلب کیا جاتا ہے۔

French

Ô hommes, une parabole vous est proposée ; écoutez-la donc. Assurément ceux que vous invoquez à la place d’Allāh ne peuvent pas créer ne serait-ce qu'une mouche, même s’ils se liguaient dans ce but. Et si la mouche leur arrachait quoi que ce soit, ils ne pourraient pas le lui reprendre. Faibles, en effet, sont les deux, le chercheur d’un bienfait et celui de qui le bienfait est recherché.

German

O ihr Menschen, ein Gleichnis ist geprägt, so höret darauf: Gewiss, jene, die ihr anruft statt Allah, werden in keiner Weise vermögen, (auch nur) eine Fliege zu erschaffen, wenn sie sich dazu auch zusammentäten. Und wenn die Fliege ihnen etwas raubte, sie können es ihr nicht entreißen. Schwach ist der Suchende wie der Gesuchte.

Chinese

人们啊! 倾听一个比喻吧! [d]除开安拉, 你们所呼求的 (偶像), 即使他们通力合作, 也永不能创造一只苍蝇, 即使苍蝇从他们那里攫取任何东西, 他们也不能把那件东西从它夺回来。祈祷者和被祈祷者是多么软弱呀!

16:21.

Italian

O uomini, una similitudine sta per essere proposta. Ascoltatela dunque. Certamente, coloro che voi invocate invece di Allah non possono creare neanche una mosca, nemmeno se si mettessero insieme per lo scopo. E se la mosca dovesse portar via alcunché da loro, essi non sarebbero in grado di recuperalo. Sono deboli, in verità, sia chi cerca, sia chi è cercato.

Spanish

Oh, humanos, se os propone un ejemplo. ¡Escuchadlo pues! En verdad, quellos a quienes invocáis en lugar de Al-lah no pueden crear ni siquiera una mosca, aunque se unieran todos para esa finalidad. Y si la mosca les quitara algo, no podrían recuperarlo. Pues en verdad son débiles, tanto el que busca como el buscado.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اے لوگو! ایک بات تمہیں بتائی جاتی ہے تم اسے غور سے سنو! تم جن کو اللہ کے سوا پکارتے ہو وہ ایک مکھی بھی پیدا نہیں کر سکیں گے خواہ سب کے سب جمع ہو جائیں‘ بلکہ اگر ایک مکھی ان کے آگے سے کوئی چیز اچک کرلے جائے تو وہ اس چیزکو(بھی) چھڑا نہیںسکتے۔ یہ دعائیں مانگنے والا (بھی) اور جس سے دعائیں مانگی جاتی ہیں (وہ بھی) کتنے کمزور ہیں۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

O men, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it. [b]Surely, those on whom you call upon instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they should all combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak, indeed, are both the seeker and the sought.[1974]

16:21.

The verse brings home to disbelievers the utter powerlessness and helplessness of their gods and their own folly in worshipping them.

English - Five Volume Translation

O men, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it. [a]Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak indeed are both the seeker and the sought.[2502]

6:72; 16:21.

Commentary:

The verse brings home to disbelievers the utter powerlessness and helplessness of their gods and their own folly in worshipping them. Their gods, it says, have no control over creation. They cannot create anything, not even a fly. Let alone creating anything—a worm, a fly, they do not possess even the power to recover from a fly anything which it snatches away from them, so weak are these gods and such hopeless idiots are their votaries!

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

لوگو، ایک مثال دی جاتی ہے، غور سے سنو جن معبودوں کو تم خدا کو چھوڑ کر پکارتے ہو وہ سب مِل کر ایک مکھی بھی پیدا کرنا چاہیں تو نہیں کر سکتے بلکہ اگر مکھی ان سے کوئی چیز چھین لے جائے تو وہ اسے چھڑا بھی نہیں سکتے مدد چاہنے والے بھی کمزور اور جن سے مدد چاہی جاتی ہے وہ بھی کمزور

English - Sahih

O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allah will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اے لوگو ایک مثال بیان کی جاتی ہے اسے کان لگا کر سنو جنہیں تم الله کے سوا پکارتے ہو وہ ایک مکھی بھی نہیں بنا سکتے اگرچہ وہ سب اس کے لیے جمع ہوجائیں اور اگر ان سے مکھی کوئی چیز چھین لے تو اسے مکھی سے چھڑا نہیں سکتے عابد اور معبود دونوں ہی عاجز ہیں

English - Talal Itani

O mankind! Is set forth an example, so listen to it. Indeed, those whom you invoke besides Allah will never create a fly even if they gathered together for it. And if snatched away from them the fly a thing not they (could) take it back from it. So weak (are) the seeker and the one who is sought.

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

O men, a similitude is struck; so give you ear to it. Surely those upon whom you call, apart from God, shall never create a fly, though they banded together to do it; and if a fly should rob them of aught, they would never rescue it from him. Feeble indeed alike are the seeker and the sought!

English - Maududi

O people, a parable is set forth: pay heed to it. Those who call upon aught other than Allah shall never be able to create even a fly, even if all of them were to come together to do that. And if the fly were to snatch away anything from them, they would not be able to recover that from it. Powerless is the supplicant; and powerless is he to whom he supplicates.

English - Ahmed Ali

O men, give ear to this parable: Those you worship other than God can never create as much as a fly, even if they get together to do so; and if the fly were to rob them of a thing they would not be able to snatch it away from it. How weak the seeker and how weak the sought!

English - Yusuf Ali

O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!

The verse brings home to disbelievers the utter powerlessness and helplessness of their gods and their own folly in worshipping them.

English - Pickthall

O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

O people, a parable is set forth, so listen to it. Surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create a fly, though they should all gather for it. And if the fly carry off aught from them, they cannot take it back from it. Weak are (both) the invoker and the invoked.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Listen, O people, carefully to this illustration. Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they should all combine together for the purpose; and if a fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. How helpless is he who calls on them and how helpless are those on whom he calls!
