English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

46:12

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرًا مَّا سَبَقُونَآ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَٰذَآ إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And those who disbelieve say of those who believe: ‘If it were any good, they could not have been ahead of us in attaining it.’ And since they have not been guided thereby, they will say, ‘This is an old lie.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اُن لوگوں نے جنہوں نے کفر کیا اُن کے متعلق کہا جو ایمان لائے کہ اگر یہ اچھی بات ہوتی تو اسے حاصل کرنے میں یہ ہم پر سبقت نہ لے جاتے۔ اور اب جبکہ وہ ہدایت پانے میں ناکام رہے ہیں تو ضرور کہیں گے کہ یہ تو ایک پرانا جھوٹ ہے ۔

French

Et ceux qui refusent de croire disent de ceux qui croient : « Si cela était un bien, ils n’auraient pas pu nous avoir dépassés pour l’ accepter. » Et puisqu’ils n’ont pas été guidés par là, ils diront : « Ceci est un vieux mensonge. »

اور کفار مومنوں سے کہتے ہیں کہ اگر قرآن کوئی اچھی تعلیم ہوتا تو یہ (مومن) ہم سے پہلے اس پر ایمان نہ لاتے اور چونکہ ان (کفار) پر اس کی صداقت نہیں کھلی وہ (نامرادی اور غصہ سے یہی بات) کہیں گے کہ یہ تو ایک پرانا جھوٹ ہے (جو پہلے لوگ بھی خدا کے متعلق بولتے آئے ہیں) ۔

11:28.

Commentary:

One of the great impediments that stand in the way of truth being accepted by disbelievers is conceit and arrogance. Since it is the poor people and those not high placed in life and generally not conversant with current material sciences, who first accept the Divine Message, the so-called learned and wealthy people regard it beneath their dignity to associate themselves with the humble and lowly believers. It is to this proud attitude of disbelievers that the verse refers. It depicts conceited and arrogant disbelievers as saying to believers, that if there had been any good in the new Teaching, they (disbelievers), who were better placed in life and possessed better knowledge, could not have been outstripped by the former in accepting it, and that, as it was an old, old lie, they could not accept it.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

جن لوگوں نے ماننے سے انکار کر دیا ہے وہ ایمان لانے والوں کے متعلق کہتے ہیں کہ اگر اس کتاب کو مان لینا کوئی اچھا کام ہوتا تو یہ لوگ اس معاملے میں ہم سے سبقت نہ لے جا سکتے تھے چونکہ اِنہوں نے اُس سے ہدایت نہ پائی اس لیے اب یہ ضرور کہیں گے کہ یہ تو پرانا جھوٹ ہے

English - Sahih

And those who disbelieve say of those who believe, "If it had [truly] been good, they would not have preceded us to it." And when they are not guided by it, they will say, "This is an ancient falsehood."

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور کافروں نے ایمانداروں سے کہا اگر یہ دین بہتر ہوتا تو یہ اس پر ہم سے پہلے نہ دوڑ کر جاتے اورجب انہوں نے اس کے ذریعے سے ہدایت نہیں پائی تو کہیں گے یہ تو پرانا جھوٹ ہے

English - Talal Itani

And say those who disbelieve of those who believe, "If it had been good, not they (would) have preceded us to it." And when not they (are) guided by it, they say, "This (is) a lie ancient."
