اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

9:23

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَكُمْ وَإِخْوَٰنَكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْكُفْرَ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

O ye who believe! take not your fathers and your brothers for friends, if they prefer disbelief to faith. And whoso befriends them from among you, it is they that are wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اے وہ لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہوتم اپنے آباءکو اور اپنے بھائیوں کو دوست نہ پکڑو اگر انہوں نے ایمان کی بجائے کفر پسند کر لیا ہو۔ اور تم میں سے جو بھی اُنہیں دوست بنائیں گے تو یہی ہیں جو ظالم لوگ ہیں۔

French

Ô vous qui croyez ! Ne prenez pas comme amis vos pères et vos frères s’ils préfèrent la mécréance à la foi. Et ceux d’entre vous qui les prendront comme amis, ceux-là sont des transgresseurs.

O die ihr glaubt, nehmt nicht eure Väter und eure Brüder zu Freunden, wenn sie den Unglauben dem Glauben vorziehen. Und die von euch sie zu Freunden nehmen – das sind die Ungerechten.

Italian

O voi credenti! Non prendete come amici i vostri padri o i vostri fratelli, se essi preferiscono la miscredenza alla fede. E quelli di voi che prendono loro come amici, sono i trasgressori.

Spanish

¡Oh vosotros, los que creéis! No toméis por amigos a vuestros padres o a vuestros hermanos, si prefieren la incredulidad a la fe. Pues aquellos de vosotros que se hagan amigos de ellos se contarán entre los inicuos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اے مومنو! اپنے باپ دادوں اور بھائیوں کو (اپنا حقیقی) دوست نہ بناؤ اگر وہ ایمان کے مقابلہ میں کفر سے زیادہ محبت کرتے ہوں اور تم میں سے جو لوگ ان سے ایسی دوستی کریں گے وہ یقیناً ظالم ہوں گے۔

3:29; 4:140,145; 9:16; 58:23.

Commentary:

This verse deals with that class of idolaters who were actively hostile to Islam and strove hard to exterminate it. They had declared war on innocent Muslims, and such was their hatred of Islam that they even disregarded the ties of relationship with a view to harming them. It was with such implacable enemies of Islam that Muslims were forbidden to make friends, for such an act on their part would have amounted to treachery to Islam and would certainly have done it incalculable harm. As for other disbelievers who were not at war with Muslims, the Quran exhorts Muslims to be benevolent and kind to them (see 60:9,10). As a matter of fact, Islam attaches greater importance to the spiritual welfare of man than to his material well-being, and it is evident that friendly relations with men who prefer disbelief to faith are bound to exercise a baneful influence on spiritual growth.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، اپنے باپوں اور بھائیوں کو بھی اپنا رفیق نہ بناؤ اگر وہ ایمان پر کفر کو ترجیح دیں تم میں سے جو ان کو رفیق بنائیں گے وہی ظالم ہوں گے

English - Sahih

O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اے ایمان والو! اپنے باپوں اور بھائیوں سے دوستی نہ رکھو اگر وہ ایمان پر کفر کو پسند کریں اور تم میں سے جو ان سے دوستی رکھے گا سو وہی لوگ ظالم ہیں

English - Talal Itani

O you who believe! (Do) not take your fathers and your brothers (as) allies if they prefer [the] disbelief over [the] belief. And whoever takes them as allies among you, then those [they] (are) the wrongdoers.
