وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُنَزِّلَ ءَايَةً وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

وہ کہتے ہیں کہ کیوں نہ اُس کے ربّ کی طرف سے اس پر کوئی عظیم نشان اتارا گیا؟ تُو کہہ دے کہ یقیناً اللہ اس بات پر قادر ہے کہ وہ کوئی عظیم نشان اتارے۔ لیکن ان میں سے اکثر نہیں جانتے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And they say, [a]‘Why has not a Sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘Surely, Allah has power to send down a Sign, but most of them do not know.’

10:21; 29:51.

English - Five Volume Translation

And they say, [a]‘Why has not a Sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘Surely, Allah has power to send down a Sign, but most of them do not know.’[785]

10:21; 29:51.

Commentary:

The words, Allah has power to send down a sign, do not mean that though God has the power to send down a sign, yet He will not actually do so. The word قادر (having power) used as active participle is intended to denote readiness to show the required power and the closing words of the verse support that inference.

The word قادر also embodies the sense of measuring and determining (Lane). In this sense, the clause would mean that God is devising means for the success of Islam, for people are already joining Islam and swelling the number of Muslims. This is a clear indication of the will of God, but disbelievers would not ponder over it. The Quran makes this point clear by suitable illustrations in the following verse.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ اِس نبی پر اس کے رب کی طرف سے کوئی نشانی کیوں نہیں اتری؟ کہو، اللہ نشانی اتارنے کی پوری قدرت رکھتا ہے، مگر ان میں سے اکثر لوگ نادانی میں مبتلا ہیں

English - Sahih

And they say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Indeed, Allah is Able to send down a sign, but most of them do not know."

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

English - Talal Itani
