العربیّا عثمانی (Arabic Uthmani)

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

8:40

وَقَٰتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ ٱلدِّينُ كُلُّهُۥ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنِ ٱنتَهَوْا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And fight them until there is no persecution and religion is wholly for Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is Watchful of what they do.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور تم ان سے قتال کرتے رہو یہاں تک کہ کوئی فتنہ باقی نہ رہے اور دین خالصۃً اللہ کے لئے ہوجائے۔ پس اگر وہ باز آ جائیں تو یقیناً اللہ اس پرجو وہ عمل کرتے ہیں گہری نظر رکھنے والا ہے۔

French

Et combattez-les jusqu’à ce que toute persécution cesse et que la religion ne soit que pour Allāh totalement. Mais s’ils renoncent à leur animosité, alors assurément Allāh surveille leurs actions de près.

German

Und kämpfet wider sie, bis keine Verfolgung mehr ist und aller Glaube auf Allah gerichtet ist*. Stehen sie jedoch ab, dann, wahrlich, sieht Allah sehr wohl, was sie tun.

Chinese

要与他们 (不信者) 继续[c]战斗, 直到迫害终止, 而宗教完全是为了安拉的。[547]如果他们停止, 安拉确实看着他们的行动。

2:194.

命令穆斯林战斗到宗教迫害结束以及人们可以自由选择自己的宗教信仰为止。伊斯兰教无疑是良心自由最伟大的支持者。(2:194)

Italian

E combattili finché non ci sia più alcuna persecuzione e la religione sia tutta per Allah. Ma se desistono, allora certamente Allah vigila su quel che fanno.

Spanish

Y combatidlos hasta que cese la persecución y la religión sea totalmente para Al-lah. Pero si desisten, sepan que en verdad Al-lah vigila todo lo que hacen.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ان (کفار) سے لڑتے جاؤ۔ یہاں تک کہ جبر کا نام و نشان باقی نہ رہے اور دین سب کا سب اللہ ہی کے لئے ہو جائے اور اگر وہ رک جائیں تو اللہ یقیناً ان کے اعمال کو دیکھتا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And [c]fight them until there is no persecution and religion is wholly for Allah.[1120] But if they desist, then surely Allah is Watchful of what they do.

2:194.

Muslims were enjoined to fight till religious persecution had ceased and men were free to practise the religion of their choice. Islam undoubtedly is the greatest upholder of freedom of conscience (2:194).

English - Five Volume Translation

And [a]fight them until there is no persecution and religion is wholly for Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is Watchful of what they do.[1128]

2:194.

Commentary:

The verse shows that fighting was to be continued only so long as there was persecution and men were not free to profess the religion they liked. If the opponents of Islam desisted from

fighting, Muslims were also to desist. Islam fought only to defend itself and to establish freedom of conscience. See also 2:194.

The words, Allah is Watchful, imply that Muslims should not feel afraid that the disbelievers may desist only ostensibly and temporarily, and that they may attack the Muslims again when a favourable opportunity offered itself. God was Watchful of all that they do, and He would surely help Muslims, if the disbelievers acted faithlessly towards them.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے ایمان لانے والو، ان کافروں سے جنگ کرو یہاں تک کہ فتنہ باقی نہ رہے اور دین پورا کا پورا اللہ کے لیے ہو جائے پھر اگر وہ فتنہ سے رُک جائیں تو ان کے اعمال کا دیکھنے والا اللہ ہے

English - Sahih

And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease - then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور تم ان سے اس حد تک لڑو کہ شرک کا غلبہ نہ رہنے پائے اور سارا دین الله ہی کا ہو جکائے پھر اگر یہ باز آجائیں تو الله ان کے اعمال دیکھنے والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

And fight them until not there is oppression and is the religion all of it for Allah. But if they cease, then indeed, Allah of what they do (is) All-Seer.
