Verses about Allah / Not Wearied By The Care Of Heavens And Earth - inQuran Topics

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Allah — there is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. Slumber seizes Him not, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that will intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them; and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He pleases. His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth; and the care of them burdens Him not; and He is the High, the Great.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اللہ ! اُس کے سوا اور کوئی معبود نہیں۔ ہمیشہ زندہ رہنے والا (اور) قائم باِلذات ہے۔ اُسے نہ تو اُونگھ پکڑتی ہے اور نہ نیند۔ اُسی کے لئے ہے جو آسمانوں میں ہے اور جو زمین میں ہے۔ کون ہے جواس کے حضور شفاعت کرے مگر اس کے اذن کے ساتھ۔ وہ جانتا ہے جو اُن کے سامنے ہے اور جو اُن کے پیچھے ہے۔ اور وہ اُس کے علم کا کچھ بھی احاطہ نہیں کر سکتے مگر جتناوہ چاہے۔ اس کی بادشاہت آسمانوں اور زمین پر ممتد ہے اور ان دونوں کی حفاظت اسے تھکاتی نہیں۔ اور وہ بہت بلند شان (اور) بڑی عظمت والاہے ۔

French

Allāh – il n’y a de dieu que Lui, le Vivant, l’Existant de Lui-Même et de Qui dépend l’existence de chaque chose. Ni l’assoupissement ni le sommeil ne s’emparent de Lui. A Lui appartiennent tout ce qui est dans les cieux et tout ce qui est sur la terre. Qui pourra intercéder auprès de Lui si ce n’est qu’avec Sa permission ? Il sait ce qui est devant eux et ce qui est derrière eux ; et ils ne saisissent de Ses sciences que ce qui Lui plaît. Son Trône s’étend sur les cieux et sur la terre, et leur maintien ne Lui cause aucune peine. Et c’est Lui le Très-Haut, le Grand.

German

Allah – es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Lebendigen, dem aus Sich Selbst Seienden und Allerhaltenden. Schlummer ergreift Ihn nicht noch Schlaf. Sein ist, was in den Himmeln und was auf Erden ist. Wer ist es, der bei Ihm fürbitten will, es sei denn mit Seiner Erlaubnis? Er weiß, was vor ihnen ist und was hinter ihnen; und sie begreifen nichts von Seinem Wissen, außer was Ihm gefällt. Sein Thron umfasst die Himmel und die Erde; und ihre Erhaltung beschwert Ihn nicht; und Er ist der Erhabene, der Große.

Chinese

安拉--------除他以外, 再没有值得崇拜的, [d]永生的, 自立立他的。假寐和睡眠不 (能) 侵袭他。天地万物都是他的。不得他的许可, [e]谁能向他说情? [f]他知道他们前后的一切 (事情)。除他所愿意的以外, 他们不能得到他的任何知识。他的知识[196]包罗天地, 他保护天地 (也)不觉疲乏。他是至高尚的, 最伟大的。

Italian

Allah - non vi è altro Dio che Lui - il Vivente, l'Auto-sussistente e che tutto sostiene. Né il sopore lo coglie, né il sonno. A Lui appartiene tutto ciò che è nei cieli e tutto ciò che è sulla terra. Chi intercederà presso di Lui, se non col Suo permesso? Egli sa ciò che li precede e ciò che li segue. Ed essi nulla abbracciano della Sua conoscenza, se non quanto a Lui piace. La Sua conoscenza* si estende sopra i cieli e sulla terra. Il prendersi cura di essi non è per Lui un peso. Egli è l'Eccelso, il Grande.

Spanish

Al-lah: no hay mas Dios que Él, el Viviente, el que Subsiste por Sí mismo y sostiene todo. No se apoderan de Él ni el sopor ni el sueño. A Él pertenece cuanto hay en los cielos y cuanto hay en la tierra. ¿Quién es capaz de interceder ante Él si no es con Su permiso? Él conoce lo que está delante y detrás de ellos; y ellos no abarcan nada de Su ciencia, salvo lo que Él quiere. Su Trono se extiende sobre los cielos y la tierra; y su cuidado no le supone preocupación alguna; y Él es el Altísimo, el Grande.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اللہ وہ (ذات) ہے جس کے سوا پرستش کا (اور) کوئی مستحق نہیں۔ کامل حیات [1]والا (اپنی ذات میں) قائم (اور سب کو) قائم رکھنے والا۔ نہ اسے اونگھ[2] آتی ہے اور نہ نیند (کا وہ محتاج ہے) جو کچھ آسمانوں میں ہے اور جو کچھ زمین میں ہے (سب) اسی کا ہے۔ کون ہے جو اس کی اجازت کے بغیر اس کے حضور میں سفارش کرے۔ جو کچھ ان کے سامنے ہے اور جو کچھ ان کے پیچھے ہے وہ (سب ہی کچھ) جانتا ہے اور وہ اس کی مرضی کے سوا اس کے علم کے کسی حصہ کو (بھی) پا نہیں سکتے۔ اس کا علم[3] آسمانوں پر (بھی) اور زمین پر (بھی) حاوی ہے‘ اور ان کی حفاظت اسے تھکاتی[4] نہیں۔ اور وہ بلند شان (رکھنے) والا[5] (اور) عظمت والا ہے۔

اَلْحَیُّ کامل حیات والا۔ اللہ تعالیٰ کے لئے جب اَلْحَیُّ آتا ہے تو الف لام کمال کے معنے دیتا ہے اور اس کے معنے یہ ہوتے ہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ حیات کاملہ رکھتا ہے یعنی ایسی حیات جو اپنے قیام میں کسی اور کی محتاج نہیں۔ اسے کسی اور نے زندگی نہیں بخشی بلکہ اس کی ذات ازلی اور ابدی طور پر زندہ ہے۔ اَلْقَیُّوْمُ: قَامَ سے نکلا ہے جس کے معنے کھڑے ہونے کے ہیں۔ اسی سے قَیِّمٌ نکلا ہے جس کے معنے نگران اور مُتوَلّی کے ہیں اور قَـیِّمٌ۔ مُسْتَقِیْمٌ کو بھی کہتے ہیں۔ ’’اَمْرٌقَـیِّمٌ‘‘ ایسا امر جس میں کوئی کجی نہیں بلکہ درست اور ٹھیک ہے۔ اَلْقَ

اردو میں اس موقعہ پر حرف عطف استعمال نہیں کرتے اس لئے نیند کے بعد ایک اور جملہ رکھ کر ترجمہ کو صحیح کیا گیا ہے۔

اَلْکُرْسِیُّ۔ کِرْسٌ سے نکلا ہے جس کے معنے متفرق اجزا کے اکٹھا ہونے کے ہوتے ہیں۔ کہتے ہیں کَرَسْتُ بِنَاءً میں نے عمارت بنائی۔ یعنی اینٹوں پر اینٹیں رکھیں اور کُرْسِیٌّ علم کو بھی کہتے ہیں اور حکومت کو بھی (مفردات) اس لفظ کی اصل سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ اصل میں اس کے معنے جمع کرنے اور اکٹھا کرنے کے ہیں اور چونکہ علم بھی پراگندہ معلومات کو جمع کر لیتا ہے اور حکومت ملک کے پراگندہ اجزا کو جمع کر لیتی ہے اس لئے اسے بھی کرسی کہتے ہیں۔

اٰدَہٗ یَئُوْدُہٗ اَوْداً کے معنے ہیں۔ اَضْنَکَہٗ وَ ثَقْلَ عَلَیْہِ (اقرب) یعنی اسے تھکا دیا اور اس پر بوجھ معلوم ہوا۔

اَلْعَلِیُّ۔ عَلِیٌّ کے معنے ہیں بلند شان والا۔ بزرگی کا مالک (اقرب) عَلِیٌّ کا مادہ عَلَا یَعْلُوْ عُلْوًا بھی ہے اور عَلِیَ یَعْلیٰ عَلَا ءً بھی ہے مگر محققین کے نزدیک عَلاَ یَعْلُوْ سے عالی کا لفظ اسم فاعل کے طور پر آتا ہے اور عَلِیَ یَعْلیٰ سے عَلِیٌّ استعمال ہوتا ہے۔ عَلَا یَعْلُوْ بُرے اور بَھلے دونوں فعلوں کے لئے آ جاتا ہے جیسے قرآن کریم میں ہے کہ اِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِی الْاَرْضِ (القصص: ۵) لیکن عَلِیَ یَعْلٰی صرف اچھے معنوں میں آتا ہے اور عَلِیٌّ جو اللہ کا نام ہے وہ اسی مادہ سے ہے پس اس کے ہمیشہ اچھے معن

Allah—there is no god save Him, [c]the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. Slumber seizes Him not, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. [d]Who is he that dare intercede with Him save by His permission? [e]He knows what is before them and what is behind them; and they encompass nothing of His knowledge[318] except what He pleases.

Important Words:

الحی (the Living), of which the verb form is حیی i.e. he lived or he had life, is an attribute of God, signifying that God is the only Being Who is deathless and lives by Himself—He needs no support, He is eternal and everlasting (Mufradat & Lane). This is "life" in the truest sense of the word, and such life is enjoyed by God alone.

القیوم (Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining) is another attribute of God. The word is derived from قام i.e. he stood erect. القیوم means, the Being Who not only stands by Himself, requiring the support of none, but Who supports all others (Mufradat & Aqrab).

سنة (slumber) is the noun-infinitive from وسن i.e. sleep or slumber took hold of him. سنة means, heaviness of limbs and eyes preceding sleep; sleep or slumber itself; negligence or unguardedness (Aqrab)

کرسی (knowledge) is derived from کرس. They say کرس البناء i.e. he raised the walls of a house. کرسی means, a throne or a chair or a stool, in fact, anything used for sitting on; buttress of a wall; knowledge; dominion and power. Hence, الکراسیmeans, men of learning (Aqrab & Lane).

Commentary:

This verse is known as آیة الکرسی (Ayatul-Kursi) and is considered to be one of the most important verses, beautifully describing the Unity of God and His great attributes. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said that the Ayatul-Kursi is the loftiest verse in the Quran (Muslim). The verse supplies an answer to an implied question. Even if Muslims made the sacrifices required of them in 2:255, the task before them was so great that, based on worldly calculations, there appeared no hope of success for them. How then is the promised victory to come? The verse under comment provides a telling answer. The world was not without a Master. The destinies of its people were controlled by a Being Whose power was limitless, Whose knowledge knew no bounds, Who was ever vigilant, ever watchful, in Whose hands were the entire resources of the earth and the heavens. If such a Being willed the triumph of a party, who was there to thwart His way? The promised victory must come.

For a detailed treatment of the subject of intercession see note on 2:49. The reason why no one shall be allowed to intercede for any person except with the permission of God is that nobody knows what is in the minds of men and consequently none is in a position to intercede for another. God alone knows the secrets of men’s hearts and hence there can be no intercession except by His permission, for He alone knows who is deserving of it.

The clause, they encompass nothing of His knowledge, means that God’s knowledge is unlimited; while the knowledge of others, whoever they may be, is limited; even Prophets know no more than what is apparent of the spiritual condition of their followers.

The word کرسی (knowledge) may signify either knowledge or power; both give equally good meanings and are almost equally applicable. Allah’s knowledge is as extensive as His power. Knowledge and power are indeed the two great pillars on which the throne of God and, for that matter, the controlling power of everyone in authority rests.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اللہ، وہ زندہ جاوید ہستی، جو تمام کائنات کو سنبھالے ہوئے ہے، اُس کے سوا کوئی خدا نہیں ہے وہ نہ سوتا ہے اور نہ اُسے اونگھ لگتی ہے زمین اور آسمانوں میں جو کچھ ہے، اُسی کا ہے کون ہے جو اُس کی جناب میں اُس کی اجازت کے بغیر سفارش کر سکے؟ جو کچھ بندوں کے سامنے ہے اسے بھی وہ جانتا ہے اور جو کچھ اُن سے اوجھل ہے، اس سے بھی وہ واقف ہے اور اُس کی معلومات میں سے کوئی چیز اُن کی گرفت ادراک میں نہیں آسکتی الّا یہ کہ کسی چیز کا علم وہ خود ہی اُن کو دینا چاہے اُس کی حکومت آسمانوں اور زمین پر چھائی ہوئی ہے اور اُن کی نگہبانی اس کے لیے کوئی تھکا دینے والا کام نہیں ہے بس وہی ایک بزرگ و برتر ذات ہے

English - Sahih

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

الله کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں زندہ ہےسب کا تھامنے والا نہ اس کی اونگھ دبا سکتی ہے نہ نیند آسمانوں اور زمین میں جو کچھ بھی ہے سب اسی کا ہے ایسا کون ہے جو اس کی اجازت کے سوا اس کے ہاں سفارش کر سکے مخلوقات کے تمام حاضر اور غائب حالات کو جانتا ہے اور وہ سب اس کی معلومات میں سےکسی چیز کا احاطہ نہیں کر سکتے مگر جتنا کہ وہ چاہے اس کی کرسی نے سب آسمانوں اور زمین کو اپنے اندر لے رکھا ہے اور الله کو ان دونوں کی حفاظت کچھ گراں نہیں گزرتی اور وہی سب سےبرتر عظمت والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

Allah - (there is) no God except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all that exists. Not overtakes Him slumber [and] not sleep. To Him (belongs) what(ever) (is) in the heavens and what(ever) (is) in the earth. Who (is) the one who can intercede with Him except by His permission. He knows what (is) before them and what (is) behind them. And not they encompass anything of His Knowledge except [of] what He willed. Extends His Throne (to) the heavens and the earth. And not tires Him (the) guarding of both of them. And He (is) the Most High, the Most Great.

English - Arberry

God there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His Throne comprises the heavens and earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-high, the All-glorious.

English - Maududi

Allah: the Everlasting, the Sustainer of the whole Universe; there is no god but He. He does neither slumber nor sleep. Whatsoever is in the heavens and in the earth is His. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His own permission.? He knows what is before the people and also what is hidden from them. And they cannot comprehend anything of His knowledge save whatever He Himself pleases to reveal. His Kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth and the guarding of these does not weary Him. He alone is the Supreme and the Exalted.

English - Ahmed Ali

God: There is no god but He, the living, eternal, self-subsisting, ever sustaining. Neither does somnolence affect Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth: and who can intercede with Him except by His leave? Known to Him is all that is present before men and what is hidden (in time past and time future), and not even a little of His knowledge can they grasp except what He will. His seat extends over heavens and the earth, and He tires not protecting them: He alone is all high and supreme.

English - Yusuf Ali

Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
