English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

30:8

يَعْلَمُونَ ظَٰهِرًا مِّنَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ غَٰفِلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

They know only the outer aspect of the life of this world, and of the Hereafter they are utterly unmindful.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

وہ دنیا کی زندگی کے ظاہر کو جانتے ہیں اور وہ ایسے ہیں کہ آخرت کے بارہ میں وہ غافل ہیں۔

French

Ils ont une connaissance superficielle de ce monde, et quant à l’au-delà, ils en sont complètement oublieux.

German

Sie kennen nur die Außenseite des Lebens in dieser Welt, des Jenseits aber sind sie gänzlich achtlos.

Chinese

Conoscono soltanto l'aspetto esteriore della vita di questo mondo, e sono del tutto incuranti dell'Aldilà.

Spanish

Sólo conocen el aspecto exterior de la vida de este mundo, y descuidan totalmente el Más Allá.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

وہ لوگ ورلی زندگی کے ظاہر (یعنی اس کی شان و شوکت) کو تو خوب سمجھتے ہیں‘ لیکن اُخروی زندگی سے بالکل ناواقف ہیں۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

They know only the outer part of the life[2273] of this world, and of the Hereafter they are utterly unmindful.

The knowledge of disbelievers is limited to an understanding of the physical causes of the incidents, but the causes of the defeat of the Persians and that of the Quraish lay deeper and were more spiritual than material or physical.

English - Five Volume Translation

They know only the outer aspect of the life of this world, and of the Hereafter they are utterly unmindful.[2994]

Commentary:

The verse means to say that the knowledge of disbelievers is confined to the material side of this world and they are ignorant of things spiritual. The implication is that if disbelievers cannot understand how a people (the Romans) who had been completely broken and had lain exhausted and prostrate a few years back won a smashing victory over their powerful foe (the Persians) and how a handful of Muslims with no experience of war and having no arms and ammunition, succeeded in defeating a powerful army of the Quraish, three times their number, it is because the disbelievers’ knowledge is limited to an understanding of the physical causes of the incidents, but the causes of the defeat of the Persians and that of the Quraish lay deeper and were more spiritual than material or mundane.
