اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

25:4

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَوٰةً وَلَا نُشُورًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Yet they have taken beside Him gods, who create nothing but are themselves created, and who have no power to harm or benefit themselves and they control not death nor life nor resurrection.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور انہوں نے اس کے سوا ایسے معبود بنا رکھے ہیں جو کچھ پیدا نہیں کر تے جبکہ وہ خود پیدا کئے گئے ہیں اور وہ اپنے لئے بھی نہ نقصان کی طاقت رکھتے ہیں نہ نفع کی اور نہ ان کے اختیار میں موت ہے نہ زندگی اور نہ ہی حشرنشر۔

French

Néanmoins, ils ont pris en dehors de Lui des dieux, qui ne créent rien, mais qui sont eux-mêmes créés, et qui n’ont aucun pouvoir de faire ni le mal ni le bien pour eux-mêmes, et ils ne contrôlent ni la mort, ni la vie, ni la Résurrection.

German

Doch haben sie sich Götter genommen neben Ihm, die nichts erschaffen, sondern selbst erschaffen sind, und die für sich selber keine Macht haben über Schaden oder Nutzen, noch haben sie Macht über Leben und Tod und Erweckung.

Chinese

[c]他们除安拉之外, 设立了受拜的对象, [d]那些对象不创造任何东西, 而且他们自己是受造的, 他们不掌握自身的利害, 也不掌握生死与复活。

Eppure essi hanno preso, oltre a Lui, degli dèi che non creano nulla, ma che sono essi stessi creati, e che non hanno il potere di fare né bene né male a sé stessi, e non hanno alcun dominio sulla vita, la morte e la risurrezione.

Spanish

No obstante, han tomado dioses aparte de Él, que no crean nada sino que ellos mismos son creados, ni tienen poder para perjudicarse ni beneficiarse, ni controlan la muerte, la vida o la Resurrección.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ان لوگوں نے اس (خدا) کے سوا معبود بنا چھوڑے ہیں‘ جو کچھ (بھی) پیدا نہیں کرتے حالانکہ وہ خود پیدا کیے جاتے ہیں اور جو اپنی ذات کے لئے نہ کسی ضرر پر قادر ہیں نہ نفع پر۔ نہ موت کے مالک ہیں اور نہ زندگی کے اور نہ پھر جی اٹھنے کے۔

Commentary:

Everything has to pass through three stages of development. The verse under comment mentions all these stages. The first stage is characterized by the absence of life. It is described as موت or the stage of lifelessness. The second stage is described as حیاة or حیاة بالقوة i.e. potential life, when a thing is endowed with the attribute and power of growth; and the third stage is reached when its powers come into actual play. This stage is known as حیاة بالفعل or نشور i.e. actual life. God, the Creator of all life possesses complete and undisputed control over all these stages.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

لوگوں نے اُسے چھوڑ کر ایسے معبود بنا لیے جو کسی چیز کو پیدا نہیں کرتے بلکہ خود پیدا کیے جاتے ہیں، جو خود اپنے لیے بھی کسی نفع یا نقصان کا اختیار نہیں رکھتے، جو نہ مار سکتے ہیں نہ جِلا سکتے ہیں، نہ مرے ہوئے کو پھر اٹھا سکتے ہیں
