English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

49:12

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَآءٌ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلْأَلْقَٰبِ ۖ بِئْسَ ٱلِٱسْمُ ٱلْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

O ye who believe! let not one people deride another people, who may be better than they, nor let women deride other women, who may be better than they. And defame not your own people, nor call one another by nicknames. Bad indeed is evil reputation after the profession of belief; and those who repent not are the wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو! (تم میں سے) کوئی قوم کسی قوم پر تمسخر نہ کرے۔ ممکن ہے وہ ان سے بہتر ہوجائیں۔ اور نہ عورتیں عورتوں سے (تمسخر کریں)۔ ہو سکتا ہے کہ وہ ان سے بہتر ہوجائیں۔ اور اپنے لوگوں پر عیب مت لگایا کرو اور ایک دوسرے کو نام بگاڑ کر نہ پکارا کرو۔ ایمان کے بعد فسوق کا داغ لگ جانا بہت بری بات ہے۔ اور جس نے توبہ نہ کی تو یہی وہ لوگ ہیں جو ظالم ہیں ۔

French

Ô vous qui croyez ! Qu’un peuple ne raille pas un autre peuple qui pourrait bien valoir mieux que lui, et que les femmes ne se moquent pas d’autres femmes, qui pourraient bien être meilleures qu’elles. Et ne vous diffamez pas les uns les autres, et ne vous donnez pas entre vous des sobriquets par sarcasme. C’est en effet très vilain de se faire une mauvaise réputation après avoir professé la croyance ; et ceux qui ne se repentent pas sont du nombre des injustes.

German

O die ihr glaubt! lasset nicht ein Volk über das andere spotten, vielleicht sind diese besser als jene; noch Frauen (eines Volkes) über Frauen (eines anderen Volkes), vielleicht sind diese besser als jene. Und verleumdet einander nicht und gebet einander nicht Schimpfnamen. Schlimm ist das Wort: Ungehorsam nach dem Glauben; und wer nicht ablässt, das sind die Frevler.

Chinese

信仰的人们啊! 不要让一个民族嘲笑 (另) 一个民族, 也许那一个民族比他们还好, 也不要让(一伙) 女子嘲笑 (另一伙) 女子, 也许那伙女子比她们还好。[a]不要诽谤你们的族人, 不要彼此以浑名相称, 在信仰以后, (还要以) 恶名 (称呼) 是一件坠落的事情。凡是不悔罪者, 他们就是不义的人。

68:12; 104:2.

Italian

O voi che credete! Non permettete che un popolo derida un altro popolo, che potrebbe essere migliore di lui, né permettete che un gruppo di donne derida altre donne, che potrebbero essere migliori di loro. E non calunniate il vostro popolo, né schernitevi l'un l'altro con soprannomi. È una cosa brutta avere una cattiva reputazione dopo la dichiarazione della fede. E quelli che non si pentono sono i malvagi.

Spanish

¡Oh vosotros, los creyentes! No permitáis que un pueblo se burlede otro, que puede ser mejor que ellos, ni que las mujeres se burlen de otras mujeres, que pueden ser mejores que ellas. o calumniéis a vuestra propia gente, ni os burléis unos de otros mediante motes. Malo es, en verdad, ganar una mala reputación después de profesar la fe; y quienes no se arrepienten son los malvados.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اے مومنو! کوئی قوم کسی قوم سے اسے حقیر سمجھ کو ہنسی مذاق نہ کیا کرے۔ ممکن ہے کہ وہ ان سے اچھی ہو اور نہ (کسی قوم کی) عورتیں دوسری (قوم کی) عورتیں کو حقیر سمجھ کر ان سے ہنسی ٹھٹھا کیا کریں۔ ممکن ہے کہ وہ (دوسری قوم یا حالات والی) عورتیں ان سے بہتر ہوں اور نہ تم ایک دوسرے پر طعن کیا کرو اور نہ ایک دوسرے کو برے ناموں سے یاد کیا کرو‘ کیونکہ ایمان کے بعد اطاعت سے نکل جانا ایک بہت ہی برے نام کا مستحق بنا دیتا ہے (یعنی فاسق کا) اور جو بھی توبہ نہ کرے وہ ظالم ہوگا۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

O ye who believe! let not one people deride another people, haply they may be better than they, nor let one group of women deride other women, haply they may be better than they. [a]And do not defame your people nor call one another by nick-names. It is an evil thing to be called by bad name after having believed; and those who repent not, such are the wrongdoers.

68:12; 104:2.

English - Five Volume Translation

O ye who believe! let not one people deride another people, haply they may be better than they, nor let women deride other women, haply they may be better than they. [a]And defame not your own people, nor call one another by nicknames. Bad indeed is evil reputation after the profession of belief; and those who repent not, such are the wrongdoers.[3849]

68:12; 104:2.

Important Words:

لا تلمزوا (defame not) is derived from لمز. They say لمزہ i.e. he made a sign to him with the eye, or the like, as the head, and the lip, with low speech. This is the original signification; according to some other authorities the primary signification of the expression is: (1) he pushed him or impelled him or repelled him or he struck or beat him; (2) he blamed, upbraided, or reproached him; he found fault with him; or he did so in his face; or he spoke evil of him; or spoke of him in a manner that he disliked, mentioning vices or faults as chargeable to him, either behind his back or in his face, though it might be with truth (Lane, Aqrab & Raghib). See also 104:2.

لا تنابزوا (call not by nicknames) is derived from نبز which means, he called him by a surname or nick-name and is syn. with لقبه (laqqaba), mostly signifying, he called him by a nickname, or a name of reproach or an opprobrious appellation. It also signifies, he upbraided or reproached him; or the like, being syn. with لمزہ (Lane & Aqrab).

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، نہ مرد دوسرے مردوں کا مذاق اڑائیں، ہو سکتا ہے کہ وہ ان سے بہتر ہوں، اور نہ عورتیں دوسری عورتوں کا مذاق اڑائیں، ہو سکتا ہے کہ وہ ان سے بہتر ہوں آپس میں ایک دوسرے پر طعن نہ کرو اور نہ ایک دوسرے کو برے القاب سے یاد کرو ایمان لانے کے بعد فسق میں نام پیدا کرنا بہت بری بات ہے جو لوگ اس روش سے باز نہ آئیں وہی ظالم ہیں

English - Sahih

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اے ایمان والو ایک قوم دوسری قوم سے ٹھٹھا نہ کرے عجب نہیں کہ وہ ان سے بہتر ہوں اور نہ عورتیں دوسری عورتوں سے ٹھٹھا کریں کچھ بعید نہیں کہ وہ ان سے بہتر ہوں اور ایک دوسرے کو طعنے نہ دو اور نہ ایک دوسرے کے نام دھرو فسق کے نام لینے ایمان لانے کے بعد بہت برے ہیں اور جو باز نہ آئیں سووہی ظالم ہیں

English - Talal Itani

O you who believe! (Let) not ridicule a people [of] (another) people, perhaps that they may be better than them; and (let) not women [of] (other) women perhaps that they may be better than them. And (do) not insult yourselves and (do) not call each other by nicknames. Wretched is the name (of) disobedience after the faith. And whoever (does) not repent, then those - they (are) the wrongdoers.

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

O believers, let not any people scoff at another people who may be better than they; neither let women scoff at women who may be better than themselves. And find not fault with one another, neither revile one another by nicknames. An evil name is ungodliness after belief. And whoso repents not, those -- they are the evildoers.

English - Maududi

Believers, let not a group (of men) scoff at another group, it may well be that the latter (at whom they scoff) are better than they; nor let a group of women scoff at another group, it may well be that the latter are better than they. And do not taunt one another, nor revile one another by nicknames. It is an evil thing to gain notoriety for ungodliness after belief. Those who do not repent are indeed the wrong-doers.

English - Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, men should not laugh at other men, for it may be they are better than them; and women should not laugh at other women, for they may perhaps be better than them. Do not slander one another, nor give one another nick-names. After believing, it is bad to give (another) a bad name. Those who do not repent behave wickedly.

English - Yusuf Ali

O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.

English - Pickthall

O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth not in repentance, such are evil-doers.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

O you who believe, let not people laugh at people, perchance they may be better than they; nor let women (laugh) at women, perchance they may be better than they. Neither find fault with your own people, nor call one another by nick-names. Evil is a bad name after faith; and whoso turns not, these it is that are the iniquitous.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

O ye who believe, let no people deride another people, haply they may be better than themselves; nor let one group of women deride another, haply the last may be better than the first. Defame not your people, nor call them names. Ill indeed it is to earn an evil reputation after having believed. Those who do not repent are the wrongdoers.
