وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And remember the time when He made you inheritors of His favours after ‘Ad, and assigned you an abode in the land; you build palaces in its plains, and you hew the mountains into houses. Remember, therefore, the favours of Allah and commit not iniquity in the earth, causing disorder.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور (وہ وقت) یاد کرو جب اس نے تم کو عاد کے بعد جانشین بنایا اور زمین میں تمہیں آباد کیا۔ تم اس کے میدانوں میں قلعے تعمیر کرتے ہو اور گھر بنانے کے لئے پہاڑ تراشتے ہو۔ پس اللہ کی نعمتوں کو یاد کرو اور فسادی بنتے ہوئے زمین میں تخریب کاری نہ کرو۔

French

Et souvenez-vous lorsque Allāh a fait de vous les héritiers de Ses grâces après les ‘Ād et où Il vous a établis sur la terre, et vous bâtissiez des palais sur ses plaines et vous tailliez des maisons dans les montagnes. Souvenez-vous donc des grâces d’Allāh et ne commettez pas d’iniquité sur la terre comme des fauteurs de désordre. »

German

Und gedenket (der Zeit), da Er euch zu Erben einsetzte nach den ´Âd und euch eine Stätte anwies im Land; ihr erbaut Paläste in seinen Ebenen und grabt Wohnungen in die Berge. Seid also der Gnaden Allahs eingedenk und verübt nicht Unheil auf Erden, indem ihr Unfrieden stiftet."

Chinese

“要记住, [b]当他 (安拉) 使你们在阿德人以后做 (他们的) 继承人, 使你们安居大地, 你们在平原上建立宫殿, 在山岳中[c]雕凿房屋, 你们要记忆安拉的恩惠, 不要在大地上制造混乱。”

6:166; 7:70, 130; 10:15.

15:83; 26:150.

Italian

E ricordate il tempo in cui Egli dopo gli ‘Ad vi fece eredi dei Suoi favori, e vi assegnò una dimora sulla terra; voi costruite palazzi nelle sue pianure e scavate nei monti le vostre case. Ricordate dunque i favori di Allah e non commettete sulla terra azioni inique, causando disordine.

Spanish

“Y acordaos de la época cuando Él os hizo herederos de Sus favores después de los Ad, y os asignó una morada en la tierra; construís palacios en sus llanuras y horadáis casas en las montañas. Acordaos, pues, de los favores de Al-lah y no cometáis iniquidad en la tierra provocando el desorden”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور یاد کرو جب اس (خدا) نے تم کو عاد کی قوم کے بعد (ان کا) جانشین بنا دیا اور زمین میں تمہارا (اس طرح) ٹھکانا بنایا کہ تم اس کے میدانوں میں قلعے بناتے تھے اور پہاڑوں میں کھود کر گھر بناتے تھے۔ پس اللہ کی نعمتوں کو یاد کرو اور زمین میں جان بوجھ کر فساد مت[1] کرو۔

عَثَا۔ یَعْثٰی کے معنے بھی فساد کرنے کے ہوتے ہیں اور عربی کا قاعدہ ہے کہ جب اسی لفظ کو جس کا فعل آیا ہو دہرایا جائے تو ایسا تاکید کے لئے ہوتا ہے۔ پس چونکہ لَا تَعْثَوْ کے معنے بھی تھے ’’فساد مت کرو‘‘ اور اس کے بعد مُفْسِدِیْنَ کا لفظ تاکید کے لئے بڑھایا گیا ہے۔ اس آیت کے معنے ہوئے ’’جان بوجھ کر فساد مت کرو‘‘ یعنی اگر یہ کام بے جانے ہوتا تب بھی بُرا ہوتا۔ مگر تم کو تو خدا کے رسول نے متنبہ کر دیا تھا۔ پھر بھی تم باز نہیں آتے۔ اس لئے سزا کے مستحق ہو۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

‘And remember the time [b]when He made you heirs to His favours after ‘Ad and settled you in the land so that you build palaces in its plains and [c]you hew[1002] the mountains into dwellings. Remember, therefore, the favours of Allah and commit not iniquity in the earth causing disorder.’

6:166; 7:70, 130; 10:15.

15:83; 26:150.

The words, you build palaces in its plains, refer to the winter residences of the tribe, while the expression, and you hew the mountains into dwellings, allude to their summer resorts in the hills. The tribe of Thamud were a cultured people––industrious, wealthy and resourceful. Judged by the standards of their time, they led a luxurious and comfortable life, going up to the hills in the hot season and spending their winter in the plains.
