Verse 74:32 | inQuran

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And none but angels have We made wardens of the Fire. And We have not fixed their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who have been given the Book may attain to certainty, and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the Book as well as the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is disease and the disbelievers may say, ‘What does Allah mean by such an illustration?’ Thus does Allah adjudge astray whom He pleases and guide whom He pleases. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And this is nothing but a Reminder for man.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ہم نے فرشتوں کے سوا کسی کو جہنّم کے داروغے نہیں بنایا اور ہم نے اُن کی تعداد مقرر نہیں کی مگر اُن لوگوں کی آزمائش کی خاطر جنہوں نے کفر کیا تاکہ وہ لوگ جنہیں کتاب دی گئی وہ یقین کرلیں اور وہ لوگ جو ایمان لائے ہیں ایمان میں بڑھ جائیں اور جن کو کتاب دی گئی وہ اور مومن کسی شک میں نہ رہیں اور تا وہ جن کے دلوں میں مرض ہے اور کفار کہیں کہ آخر اللہ کا اس تمثیل سے کیا ارادہ ہے؟ اسی طرح اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہ ٹھہراتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے اُسے ہدایت دیتا ہے اور تیرے ربّ کے لشکروں کو کوئی نہیں جانتا مگر وہی۔ اور یہ انسان کے لئے ایک بڑی نصیحت کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں۔

French

Et Nous n’avons désigné personne d’autre que des anges pour être les gardiens du Feu. Et Nous n’avons fixé leur nombre que pour l’épreuve des mécréants, afin que ceux à qui le Livre a été donné puissent atteindre la certitude, et que les croyants puissent augmenter leur foi, et que ceux à qui le Livre a été donné ainsi que les croyants ne doutent pas, et que ceux dans le cœur de qui il y a une maladie, et les mécréants, puissent dire : « Qu’est-ce qu’Allāh entend par cet exemple ? » C’est ainsi qu’Allāh juge égaré qui Il veut, et guide qui Il veut. Et personne ne connaît les armées de ton Seigneur sauf Lui- Même. Et ceci n’est qu’un Rappel pour l’homme.

German

und Wir haben einzig und allein Engel zu Hütern des Feuers gemacht. Und Wir setzten ihre Anzahl nicht fest, außer zur Prüfung derer, die ungläubig sind, auf dass die, denen das Buch gegeben ward, Gewissheit erreichen, und die, die gläubig sind, an Glauben zunehmen, und die, denen die Schrift gegeben ward, und die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln, und die, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und die Ungläubigen sprechen: "Was meint Allah mit diesem Gleichnis?" Also erklärt Allah zum Irrenden, wen Er will, und führt richtig, wen Er will. Keiner kennt die Heerscharen deines Herrn als Er allein. Dies ist nur eine Ermahnung für den Menschen.

Chinese

我只指派天使做火狱的监护者。我告诉了他们的数目只是为了考验那些不信的人们, 使有经的人获得确信, 信仰的人增加信仰, 使有经的人和信仰的人都将不会怀疑, 也使那些有心病和不信的人们说: “安拉说这个[a]比喻是什么意思? ”安拉就这样使他所意欲的人迷误, 引导他所意欲的人。除了你的养主之外, [b]没有谁知道他的军队。这 («古兰经») 只是对人类的一个劝告。

Italian

E Noi non abbiamo posto, a custodi del fuoco, se non angeli. E Noi non ne abbiamo stabilito il numero, se non come prova per coloro che non credono, così che coloro ai quali è stato dato il libro possano raggiungere la certezza, e coloro che credono possano aumentare la loro fede, e coloro ai quali è stato dato il libro e coloro che credono non dubitino, mentre coloro che hanno il cuore malato e i miscredenti possano dire: «Che vuol dire Allah con tale illustrazione?» Così Allah condanna a deviare chi Gli piace e guida chi Gli piace. E nessuno conosce le schiere del Signore, tranne Lui. E questo non è che un monito per l'uomo.

Spanish

Y sólo hemos hecho guardianes del Fuego a los ángeles. No hemos fijado su número sino como prueba para los incrédulos; para que aquellos a quienes se ha dado el Libro, alcancen la certeza; para que los creyentes aumenten en su fe; para que los que han recibido el Libro y también los creyentes no duden y para que los de corazón enfermo y los incrédulos digan: “¿Qué quiere decir Al-lah con este ejemplo?”. Así juzga Al-lah como extraviados a quienes Le place y guía a quienes Le agrada. Pues nadie conoce los ejércitos de tu Señor fuera de Él. Y esto no es más que un Recordatorio para el hombre.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور دوزخ کے داروغے ہم نے صرف فرشتوں[2] میں سے مقرر کیے ہیں اور ان کی گنتی صرف کافروں کی آزمائش کے طور پر بتائی ہے اور اس کا یہ نتیجہ نکلے گا کہ اہل کتاب کو یقین آجائے گا اور مومن ایمان میں زیادہ ہو جائیں گے اور نہ اہل کتاب شبہ کریں گے اور نہ مومن۔ نتیجہ یہ ہوگا کہ جن کے دلوں میں بیماری ہے وہ اور دوسرے کافر کہیں گے کہ اس بات کے کہنے سے اللہ کا کیا منشا ہے۔ اسی طرح اللہ اسے گمراہ قرار دیتا ہے جس کے متعلق ارادہ کر لیتا ہے اور جس کے متعلق ارادہ کر لیتا ہے اسے ہدایت دے دیتا ہے اور تیرے رب کے لشکروں کو سوائے اس کے کوئی نہیں جانتا۔ اور یہ (قرآن) انسان کے لئے صرف ایک نصیحت ہے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

ہم نے دوزخ کے یہ کارکن فرشتے بنائے ہیں، اور ان کی تعداد کو کافروں کے لیے فتنہ بنا دیا ہے، تاکہ اہل کتاب کو یقین آ جائے اور ایمان لانے والوں کا ایمان بڑھے، اور اہل کتاب اور مومنین کسی شک میں نہ رہیں، اور دل کے بیمار اور کفار یہ کہیں کہ بھلا اللہ کا اِس عجیب بات سے کیا مطلب ہو سکتا ہے اِس طرح اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہ کر دیتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت بخش دیتا ہے اور تیرے رب کے لشکروں کو خود اُس کے سوا کوئی نہیں جانتا اور اس دوزخ کا ذکر اِس کے سوا کسی غرض کے لیے نہیں کیا گیا ہے کہ لوگوں کو اس سے نصیحت ہو

English - Sahih

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور ہم نے دوزخ پر فرشتے ہی رکھے ہیں اور ان کی تعداد کافروں کے لیے آزمائش بنائی ہے تاکہ جن کو کتاب دی گئی ہے وہ یقین کر لیں اور ایمان داروں کا ایمان بڑھے اورتاکہ اہلِ کتاب اور ایمان دار شک نہ کریں اور تاکہ جن کے دلوں میں (نفاق کی) بیماری ہے اورکافر یہ کہیں کہ الله کی اس بیان سے کیاغرض ہے اور الله اس طرح سے جسے چاہتاہے گمراہ کر تا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت کرتا ہے اور آپ کے رب کے لشکروں کو اس کے سوا اور کوئی نہیں جانتا اور دوزخ (کا حال بیان کرنا) صرف آدمیوں کی نصیحت کے لیے ہے

English - Talal Itani

And not We have made keepers (of) the Fire except Angels. And not We have made their number except (as) a trial for those who disbelieve - that may be certain those who were given the Scripture and may increase those who believe (in) faith, and not may doubt those who were given the Scripture and the believers, and that may say those in their hearts (is) a disease and the disbelievers "What (does) intend Allah by this example?" Thus does let go astray Allah whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows (the) hosts (of) your Lord except Him. And not it (is) but a reminder to (the) human beings.

اس کا یہ مطلب ہے کہ دوزخ میں رکھنے کا اصل موجب تو فرشتے ہوں گے کیونکہ اتنے لوگوں کو روکنے کی طاقت فرشتوں کو ہی ہے۔ ہاں کبھی کبھی ملائکہ سے اپنی مشابہت بتا کر انسان بھی ان کا کام کرنے لگ جائیں گے۔

English - Arberry

We have appointed only angels to be masters of the Fire, and their number We have appointed only as a trial for the unbelievers, that those who were given the Book may have certainty, and that those who believe may increase in belief, and that those who were given the Book and those who believe may not be in-doubt, and that those in whose hearts there is sickness, and the unbelievers, may say, 'What did God intend by this as a similitude?' So God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides whomsoever He will; and none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but a Reminder to mortals.

English - Maududi

We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers' faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: “What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?” Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed.

English - Ahmed Ali

We have not appointed any one but angels as keepers of Hell, and their number that We have fixed is to make it a means of contention for disbelievers, so that those who were given the Book may be certain, and the faith of the believers may have greater increase, and the people of the Book and believers may not be deceived, and the sceptics and infidels may say: "What does God mean by this parable?" That is how God leads whosoever He will astray, and guides whosoever He will. None knows the armies of your Lord save Him self. This is no more than reminder for mankind.

English - Yusuf Ali

And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.

Commentary:

The apparently enigmatic "nineteen" may concern some great Divine design or purpose which, when unfolded, will, on the one hand, greatly add to the faith of the believers and, on the other, to the embarrassment and mental confusion of the disbelievers and of "those in whose heart is disease." Otherwise the number of God’s angels is legion, beyond human count or computation, just as the stages of man’s spiritual progress in the Hereafter are number-less.

English - Pickthall

We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And We have made none but angels wardens of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the Book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the Book and the believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus Allah leaves in error whom He pleases, and guides whom He pleases. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And this is naught but a Reminder to mortals.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

We have only appointed angels as wardens of the Fire. We have fixed their number only as a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who have been given the Book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and both may not have any doubt, and that those sick at heart and the disbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by such an illustration? Thus does Allah adjudge as having gone astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. None knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. This is but a Reminder for man.
