English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you be in strongly built towers. And if some good befalls them, they say, ‘This is from Allah;’ and if evil befalls them, they say, ‘This is from thee.’ Say, ‘All is from Allah.’ What has happened to these people that they come not near understanding anything?

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

تم جہاں کہیں بھی ہو موت تمہیں آ لے گی خواہ تم سخت مضبوط بنائے ہوئے بُرجوں میں ہی ہو۔ اور اگر انہیں کوئی حَسَنہ پہنچتی ہے تو وہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اللہ کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر انہیں کوئی بُرائی پہنچتی ہے تو کہتے ہیں(اے محمد!) یہ تیری طرف سے ہے۔ تُو کہہ دے کہ سب کچھ اللہ ہی کی طرف سے ہوتا ہے۔ پس ان لوگوں کو کیا ہوگیا ہے کہ کوئی بات سمجھنے کے قریب تک نہیں پھٹکتے۔

French

Où que vous soyez, la mort vous atteindra, même si vous vous trouvez dans des tours solidement construites. Et si un bien leur arrive, ils disent : « C’est de la part d’Allāh. » Et si un mal les atteint, ils disent : « Cela est de toi. » Dis : « Tout provient d’Allāh. » Qu’ont-ils donc ces gens qui sont si loin de comprendre la moindre chose ?

German

Wo ihr auch sein mögt, der Tod ereilt euch doch, und wäret ihr in hohen Burgen. Und wenn ihnen Gutes begegnet, sagen sie: "Das ist von Allah", und wenn ihnen Schlimmes begegnet, sagen sie: "Das ist von dir." Sprich: "Alles ist von Allah." Was ist diesem Volk widerfahren, dass sie so weit davon sind, etwas zu begreifen?

Chinese

无论你们在什么地方, [e]死亡都会追上你们, 即使你们在坚固的堡垒中。如果他们获得幸福, 他们就说: “这是安拉所降赐的。” 假若他们遭逢祸患, 他们就说: “这是你召来的。” 你 (告诉他们) 说: “(吉凶祸福) 一切都来自安拉, 他们为什么不想理解任何事理呢?”

Italian

Ovunque siate, la morte vi coglierà, seppure siate in torri solidamente edificate. E se alcunché di bene accade loro, dicono: «Questo viene da Allah»; e se un male si abbatte su di loro, dicono: «Questo ci viene da te.» Di': «Tutto viene da Allah.» Che cosa è capitato a questa gente, che non arrivano vicino a comprendere neanche una singola cosa?

Spanish

Dondequiera que estéis os alcanzará la muerte, aunque os encontréis en torres inexpugnables. Si les sucede algo bueno dicen: “Esto procede de Al-lah”, pero si es una desgracia dicen: “Esto procede de ti”. Diles: “Todo procede de Al-lah”. ¿Qué le ha sucedido a esa gente que apenas comprende nada?

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

تم جہاں کہیں بھی ہو موت تمہیں آپکڑے گی خواہ تم مضبوط قلعوں میں (ہی کیوں نہ) ہو اور اگر انہیں (یعنی مذکورہ بالا لوگوں کو) کوئی بھلائی پہنچتی ہے تو کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اللہ کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر کوئی برائی پہنچتی ہے تو کہتے ہیں کہ یہ تیری طرف سے ہے۔ تو کہہ دے (کہ) سب (کچھ) اللہ (ہی) کی طرف سے ہے پس ان لوگوں کو کیا ہو گیا ہے کہ کسی بات کے سمجھنے کے قریب (تک) نہیں جاتے۔

Important Words:

مشیدة (strongly built) is derived from شاد meaning, he plastered (a wall, etc.) with the requisite material. شاد البناء means, he raised the building high. شادوا الدین means, they strengthened and exalted the religion. شیدہ means, he raised it high, namely, a place or a building; or he built it firmly and strongly and raised it high (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

The words, Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you, may either refer to the general physical law about the inevitability of death, meaning that when one must die sooner or later, there is no reason why one should be so afraid of death as to refuse to fight in a just cause; or they may be taken as particularly addressed to the hypocrites, who disobeyed the Divine command to fight, thinking that in this way they would be able to avoid death. The verse purports to say that God had decreed that they should suffer death and destruction, however well protected they might be.

It was customary with the hypocrites that when Muslims achieved a success, they attributed it to God, saying that since Islam was a divine religion, it was bound to prosper and succeed. But when a misfortune overtook Muslims, they declared that it was due to mistakes committed by the Prophet. The Quran says that from the viewpoint from which they ascribe success to God, failures are also ascribable to Him. By attributing success to God and failure to the Prophet, the hypocrites sought to discredit the Prophet and to lower him in the estimation of Muslims.

The words, Say, All is from Allah, point to the fact that both successes and misfortunes were foretold by the Holy Prophet (e.g. see 2:156-158). So even the failures which the hypocrites attributed to the Holy Prophet really constituted a proof of his truth. The expression, All is from Allah, is also true in this sense that God is the final controlling power in the universe and whatever good or evil befalls man is attributable either to the general law of nature ordained by God or to one or other of His special decrees.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

رہی موت، تو جہاں بھی تم ہو وہ بہرحال تمہیں آکر رہے گی خواہ تم کیسی ہی مضبوط عمارتوں میں ہو اگر انہیں کوئی فائدہ پہنچتا ہے تو کہتے ہیں یہ اللہ کی طرف سے ہے، اور اگر کوئی نقصان پہنچتا ہے تو کہتے ہیں یہ تمہاری بدولت ہے کہو، سب کچھ اللہ ہی کی طرف سے ہے آخر ان لوگوں کو کیا ہو گیا ہے کہ کوئی بات ان کی سمجھ میں نہیں آتی

English - Sahih

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allah "; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allah." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

تم جہاں کہیں ہو گے موت تمہیں آ ہی پکڑے گی اگرچہ تم مضبوط قلعوں میں ہی ہو اور اگر انہیں کوئی فائدہ پہنچتا ہے تو لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ الله کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر کوئی نقصان پہنچتا ہے تو کہتے ہیں کہ یہ تیری طرف سے ہے ان لوگوں کو کیا ہو گیا ہے کہ کوئی بات ان کی سمجھ میں نہیں آتی

English - Talal Itani

Wherever you be will overtake you [the] death even if you are in towers lofty. And if befalls them any good they say, "This (is) from Allah." And if befalls them any evil they say, "This (is) (from) you." Say, "All (is) from Allah." So what (is wrong) (with) these [the] people, not do they seem (to) understand any statement.

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, though you should be in raised-up towers.

They scarcely understand any tiding.

Wherever you might be, death will overtake you even though you be in massive towers.

What has happened to this people that they seem to understand nothing?

English - Ahmed Ali

Death will overtake you wheresoever you be, even in the mightiest of towers. Yet if some good comes their way they say: "It is from God;" and if it is evil that befalls them, they say: "It is indeed from you." Say to them: "Every thing is from God." O, what has come upon the people that even this they fail to understand!

English - Yusuf Ali

"Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah"; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?
