English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

6:137

وَجَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْثِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ نَصِيبًا فَقَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَٰذَا لِشُرَكَآئِنَا ۖ فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَىٰ شُرَكَآئِهِمْ ۗ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And they have assigned Allah a portion of the crops and cattle which He has produced, and they say, ‘This is for Allah,’ as they imagine, ‘and this is for our idols.’ But that which is for their idols reaches not Allah, while that which is for Allah reaches their idols. Evil is what they judge.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور انہوں نے اللہ کے لئے اُس میں سے جو اُسی نے کھیتیوں اور مویشیوں میں سے پیدا کیا بس ایک حصہ مقرر کر رکھا ہے اور وہ اپنے زُعم میں کہتے ہیں یہ اللہ کے لئے ہے اور یہ ہمارے شریکوں کے لئے ہے۔ پس جو اُن کے شریکوں کے لئے ہے وہ تو اللہ کو نہیں پہنچتا، ہاں جو اللہ کا ہے وہ ان کے شریکوں کو مل جاتا ہے۔ کیا ہی برُ ا ہے جو وہ فیصلہ کرتے ہیں۔

French

Et ils ont attribué à Allāh une part des récoltes qu'Il a produites et des bestiaux qu’Il a créés, et ils disent : « Ceci est pour Allāh » – comme ils se l’imaginent – « et ceci est pour nos divinités. » Mais ce qui est pour leurs divinités n’arrive pas jusqu’à Allāh, tandis que ce qui est pour Allāh arrive à leurs divinités. Très mauvaise est la conclusion qu’ils en tirent.

German

Sie haben für Allah einen Anteil ausgesetzt an den Feldfrüchten und dem Vieh, das Er wachsen ließ, und sie sagen: "Das ist für Allah", wie sie meinen, "und das ist für unsere Götzen". Aber was für ihre Götzen ist, das erreicht Allah nicht, während das, was für Allah ist, ihre Götzen erreicht. Übel ist, wie sie urteilen.

Chinese

[e]他们把安拉创造的田园和牲畜的一部分定为他的, 然后又猜想着说: “这一部分是安拉的, 那一部分是我们的与安拉同等的崇拜对象的。” 之后又声称他们与安拉同等崇拜对象的 (部分) 不达到安拉, 而安拉的 (部分) 达到他们的与安拉同等的崇拜对象。他们的判断多么坏啊!

16:57.

Italian

Ed essi hanno riservato per Allah una parte dei raccolti e del bestiame che Egli ha prodotto; ed essi dicono: «Questo è per Allah», mentre pensano: «e questo è per i nostri idoli.» Ma quello che è destinato ai loro idoli non giunge ad Allah, mentre quello che è destinato ad Allah giunge ai loro idoli. La loro conclusione è malvagia.

Spanish

Ellos asignan a Al-lah una parte de los cultivos y del ganado que Él ha producido, y dicen: “esto es para Al-lah”, según piensan ellos, “y esto es para nuestros ídolos”. Pero lo que es para sus ídolos no llega a Al-lah, mientras que lo que es para Al-lah llega a sus ídolos. ¡Qué malo es lo que concluyen!

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور انہوں نے ایک حصہ اس کھیتی میں سے یا جانوروں میں سے اللہ کا مقرر (کر چھوڑا) ہے جو (کھیتی یا جانور) اس (یعنی خدا) نے پیدا کئے ہیں۔ پھر اپنے گمان سے کہتے ہیں کہ اتنا تو اللہ کے لئے ہے اور اتنا ہمارے شریکوں کے لئے۔ پھر یہ دعوے کرتے ہیں کہ جو ان کے شریکوں کا (حصہ) ہوتا ہے وہ تو اللہ کو نہیں پہنچتا اور جو اللہ کا (حصہ) ہوتا ہے وہ ان کے شریکوں کو پہنچ جاتا ہے وہ کیا ہی برا فیصلہ کرتے ہیں۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And [d]they have assigned Allah a portion of the crops and cattle which He has produced, and they say, ‘This is for Allah,’—so they assert—‘and this is for our associate-gods.’ But that which is for their associate-gods reaches not Allah, while that which is for Allah reaches their associate-gods. Evil is what they judge.[914]

16:57.

The reference is to an idolatrous custom of the Arabs. They would divide the produce of their lands between God and their deities. If the portion which they set apart for their deities was spent for other purposes, then the portion which they had reserved for God was given away as charity in the name of their deities, but if the portion set apart for God was spent for other ends, then the portion set aside for the deities was not transferred to God.

English - Five Volume Translation

And [a]they have assigned Allah a portion of the crops and cattle which He has produced, and they say, ‘This is for Allah,’ as they imagine, ‘and this is for our idols.’ But that which is for their idols reaches not Allah, while that which is for Allah reaches their idols. Evil is what they judge.[876]

16:57.

Commentary:

Note the point and the force in the words, He has produced. By using these words, the Quran exposes the folly of disbelievers who are presumptuous enough to divide the produce of the earth and cattle between their deities and God, as if they were the owners; while the fact is that God is the owner of all these things and it is He Who has brought them into existence. They are God’s things, and it is strange that disbelievers should presume to divide God’s things according to their own choice, setting apart only a portion for God, the True Owner, and allotting the rest to their false deities.

Disbelievers gave two kinds of alms; firstly, in the name of God, and secondly, in the name of their deities. If the portion which they set apart for their deities was spent for other purposes, then the portion which they had reserved for God was also given away as charity in the name of their deities, but if the portion set apart for God was spent for other ends, then the portion set aside for the deities was not transferred to God. That is what is meant by the words, that which is for their idols reaches not Allah, while that which is for Allah reaches their idols. This is another instance of how men blunder, making laws with the sole aid of reason.

The expression, as they imagine, signifies that God does not accept a charity which false gods are made to share with Him. Disbelievers suppose that they have set apart a portion for God, but that is not really the portion of God, for the jealous God disdainfully rejects such allotment.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اِن لوگوں نے اللہ کے لیے خود اُسی کی پیدا کی ہوئی کھیتیوں اور مویشیوں میں سے ایک حصہ مقرر کیا ہے اور کہتے ہیں یہ اللہ کے لیے ہے، بزعم خود، اور یہ ہمارے ٹھیرائے ہوئے شریکوں کے لیے پھر جو حصہ ان کے ٹھیرائے ہوئے شریکوں کے لیے ہے وہ تو اللہ کو نہیں پہنچتا مگر جو اللہ کے لیے ہے وہ ان کے شریکوں کو پہنچ جاتا ہے کیسے برے فیصلے کرتے ہیں یہ لوگ!

English - Sahih

And the polytheists assign to Allah from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allah," by their claim, "and this is for our partners [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allah, while what is for Allah - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور الله کی پیدا کی ہوئی کھیتی اور مویشیوں میں سے ایک حصہ اس کے لیے مقرر کرتے ہیں اور اپنے خیال کے مطابق کہتے ہیں کہ یہ الله کا حصہ ہے اور یہ ہمارے شریکوں کا ہے سو جو حصہ ان کے شریکوں کا ہے وہ الله کی طرف نہیں جا سکتا اور جو الله کا ہے وہ ان کے شریکوں کی طرف جا سکتا ہے کیسا برا فیصلہ کرتے ہیں

English - Talal Itani

And they assign to Allah out of what He produced of the crops and the cattle a share and they say, "This (is) for Allah," by their claim, "And this (is) for our partners." But what is for their partners (does) not reach [to] Allah, while what is for Allah then it reaches [to] their partners. Evil (is) what they judge.

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

They appoint to God, of the tillage and cattle that He multiplied, a portion, saying, 'This is for God' -- so they assert -- 'and this is for our associates.' So what is for their associates reaches not God; and what is for God reaches their associates. Evil is their judgment!

English - Maududi

They assign to Allah a portion out of the produce and cattle that He has created, saying out of their fancy: 'This is for Allah' - so they deem -'and this is for the associates (of Allah) whom we have contrived.' Then, the portion assigned to the beings whom they have set up as associates (of Allah) does not reach Allah, but the portion assigned to Allah reaches the beings they set up as associates (of Allah)! Indeed evil is what they decide!

English - Ahmed Ali

They allocate a share from God's own created fields and cattle to God, and they say: "This is God's" -- or so they think -- "and that, of the compeers of God," so that what belongs to the compeers does not reach God, but that which is God's may reach the compeers (set up by them). How bad is the judgement that they make!

English - Yusuf Ali

Out of what Allah hath produced in abundance in tilth and in cattle, they assigned Him a share: they say, according to their fancies: "This is for Allah, and this" - for our "partners"! but the share of their" partners "reacheth not Allah, whilst the share of Allah reacheth their "partners"! evil (and unjust) is their assignment!

914

English - Pickthall

They assign unto Allah, of the crops and cattle which He created, a portion, and they say: "This is Allah's" - in their make-believe - "and this is for (His) partners in regard to us." Thus that which (they assign) unto His partners in them reacheth not Allah and that which (they assign) unto Allah goeth to their (so-called) partners. Evil is their ordinance.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And they set apart a portion for Allah out of what He has created of tilth and cattle, and say: This is for Allah -- so they assert -- and this for our associate-gods. Then that which is for their associate-gods reaches not Allah, and that which is for Allah reaches their associate-gods. Evil is what they judge.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

They assign to Allah a portion of the crops and cattle which He produces and out of their fancy they say: So much is for Allah and so much is for our idols. Then they claim that the portion which is for their idols does not reach Allah but that the portion which is for Allah reaches their idols. Evil is that which they judge.
