English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

53:24

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

‘These are but names which you have named — you and your fathers — for which Allah has sent down no authority.’ They follow naught but conjecture and what their souls desire, while there has already come to them guidance from their Lord.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

یہ تو محض نام ہیں جو تم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادا نے ان کو دے رکھے ہیں۔ اللہ نے ان کی تائید میں کوئی غالب دلیل نہیں اُتاری۔ وہ محض ظن کی پیروی کررہے ہیں اور اُس کی جو نفس چاہتے ہیں۔ جبکہ اُن کے ربّ کی طرف سے یقیناً اُن کے پاس ہدایت آچکی ہے۔

French

Ce ne sont là que des noms que vous avez inventés – vous et vos ancêtres – ce pour quoi Allāh n’a fait descendre aucune autorité. Ils ne suivent que la conjecture et ce que leurs âmes désirent alors que la direction leur est déjà venue de la part de leur Seigneur.

German

Es sind nur Namen, die ihr euch ausgedacht habt – ihr und eure Väter –, für die Allah keinerlei Ermächtigung hinabgesandt hat." Sie folgen einem bloßen Wahn und dem Wunsche (ihres) Ichs, obwohl doch Weisung von ihrem Herrn zu ihnen kam.

Chinese

[a]这些只是你们--------你们和你们的祖先--------命名的 (偶像名字), 而安拉对它未曾降下任何证据。他们只跟从猜想和私欲罢了, 而他们养主的指导业已来到了他们那里。

7:72; 12:41.

Italian

«Non sono che nomi fatti da voi - da voi e dai vostri padri - per i quali Allah non ha fatto scendere alcuna autorità.» Non fanno che andar dietro a congetture e a ciò che le loro anime desiderano, mentre è già arrivata ad essi la guida del loro Signore.

Spanish

“Éstos no son más que nombres que les habéis dado –vosotros y vuestros padres– para los que Al-lah no ha concedido autoridad alguna”. No siguen más que a conjeturas y a lo que desean sus almas, aunque ya les ha llegado la guía de su Señor.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

یہ تو کچھ نام ہیں جو تم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادا نے رکھ لئے ہیں (ورنہ ان میں حقیقت کچھ بھی نہیں) اللہ نے ان (بتوں) کے لئے کوئی دلیل نہیں اتاری۔ وہ صرف ایک وہم کی اور خواہش نفسانی کی پیروی کر رہے ہیں۔ اور ان کے پاس ان کے رب کی طرف سے ہدایت آچکی ہے (مگر پھر بھی نہیں سمجھتے)

English - Short Commentary Translation

[b]These are but names which you have named—you and your fathers—for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow naught but conjecture[2883] and what their souls desire, while there has already come to them guidance from their Lord.

7:72; 12:41.

Whereas a true believer stands on the bedrock of certainty and sure knowledge (12:109), an idolater possesses no rational argument and no revealed authority for his false beliefs and doctrines. He falls a helpless victim to conjecture and superstition and is a slave to his own desires and fancies. This verse, as also v.29, speak of the utter untenability of an idolater’s position, who stands on a broken reed.

English - Five Volume Translation

‘These are but names which you have named[b]—you and your fathers—for which Allah has sent down no authority.’ They follow naught but conjecture and what their souls desire, while there has already come to them guidance from their Lord.[3984]

7:72; 12:41; 22:72.

Commentary:

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

دراصل یہ کچھ نہیں ہیں مگر بس چند نام جو تم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادا نے رکھ لیے ہیں اللہ نے اِن کے لیے کوئی سند نازل نہیں کی حقیقت یہ ہے کہ لوگ محض وہم و گمان کی پیروی کر رہے ہیں اور خواہشات نفس کے مرید بنے ہوئے ہیں حالانکہ اُن کے رب کی طرف سے اُن کے پاس ہدایت آ چکی ہے

English - Sahih

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

یہ تو صرف نام ہی نام ہیں جو تم نے اور تمہارے باپ دادا نے گھڑ لیے ہیں جن پر خدا نے کوئی سندبھی نہیں اتاری وہ محض وہم اور اپنی خواہش کی پیروی کرتے ہیں حالانکہ ان کے پاس ان کے رب کے ہاں سے ہدایت آ چکی ہے

English - Talal Itani

Not they (are) except names you have named them, you and your forefathers, not has Allah sent down for it any authority. Not they follow except assumption and what desire the(ir) souls. And certainly has come to them from their Lord the guidance.

English - Arberry

They are naught but names yourselves have named, and your fathers; God has sent down no authority touching them. They follow only surmise, and what the souls desire; and yet guidance has come to them from their Lord.

English - Maududi

These are nothing but names that you and your forefathers have invented, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They are merely following their conjectures and their carnal desires although guidance has come to them from their Lord.

English - Ahmed Ali

These are only names which you and your fathers have invented. No authority was sent down by God for them. They only follow conjecture and wish-fulfilment, even though guidance had come to them already from their Lord.

English - Yusuf Ali

These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!
