فَقَالَ الۡمَلَؤُا الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ قَوۡمِہٖ مَا ہٰذَاۤ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُکُمۡ یُرِیۡدُ اَنۡ یَّتَفَضَّلَ عَلَیۡکُمۡ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ اللّٰہُ لَاَنۡزَلَ مَلٰٓئِکَۃً مَّا سَمِعۡنَا بِہٰذَا فِیۡۤ اٰبَآئِنَا الۡاَوَّلِیۡنَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved, said, ‘He is only a man like yourselves; he seeks to make himself superior to you. And if Allah had so willed, He could have surely sent down angels with him. We have never heard of such a thing among our forefathers.
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
پس ان سرداروں نے جنہوں نے اس کی قوم میں سے کفر کیا، کہا یہ تو تمہاری طرح کے ایک بشر کے سوا کچھ نہیں۔ یہ چاہتا ہے کہ تم پر اپنی فضیلت قائم کرے۔ اور اگر اللہ چاہتا تو فرشتے اتار دیتا۔ ہم نے تو اپنے گزشتہ آباءو اجداد کے تعلق میں ایسا نہیں سنا۔
French
Et les chefs de son peuple, qui avaient refusé de croire, dirent : « Il n’est qu’un homme comme vous ; il voudrait se rendre supérieur à vous. Et si Allāh l’avait voulu, Il aurait assurément pu faire descendre des anges. Nous n’avons jamais entendu une telle chose parmi nos aïeux.
German
Aber die Häupter seines Volks, die ungläubig waren, sprachen: "Er ist nur ein Mensch wie ihr; er möchte sich bloß über euch erheben. Hätte Allah gewollt, Er hätte doch gewiss Engel hinabsenden können. Wir haben nie von solchem unter unseren Vorvätern gehört.

Italian
E i capi del suo popolo, che non credevano, dissero: «Costui è soltanto un uomo come voi; egli cerca di rendersi superiore a voi. Ma se Allah avesse voluto così, di certo Egli avrebbe potuto far scendere angeli con lui. Non abbiamo mai sentito una cosa simile tra i nostri antenati.
Spanish
Mas los jefes de su pueblo que no creían, dijeron: “No es más que un hombre como vosotros; intenta hacerse superior a vosotros. Y si Al-lah lo hubiese querido, en verdad habría enviado ángeles. Nunca oímos tal cosa entre nuestros antepasados”;
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
اس پر اس کی قوم کے کافروں کے سرداروں نے کہا یہ شخص تو فقط تمہارے جیسا ایک انسان ہے (اور) چاہتا ہے کہ تم پر فضیلت اختیار کرے اگر اللہ (پیغمبر بھیجنا) چاہتا تو فرشتوں کو اتارتا۔ ہم نے اپنے پہلے باپ دادوں میں تو کوئی اس قسم کا واقعہ ہوتا سنا نہیں۔
English - Short Commentary Translation
[d]And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved, said, ‘He is only a mortal like yourselves;[1992] he seeks to gain superiority over you. And if Allah had so willed, [a]He could have, surely, sent down angels with him. We have never heard of such a thing among our forefathers;
17:96.
7:61; 11:28; 17:95, 34:44.
The disbelievers suffer from a superiority complex and therefore reject Divine Messengers on the plea that they cannot accept the lead of one who is 'only a mortal like themselves.' The verse incidentally implies that belief in the existence of angels was entertained from time immemorial. As far back as Noah’s time his opponents wanted to see angels descending on them.

اس کی قوم کے جن سرداروں نے ماننے سے انکار کیا وہ کہنے لگے کہ "یہ شخص کچھ نہیں ہے مگر ایک بشر تم ہی جیسا اِس کی غرض یہ ہے کہ تم پر برتری حاصل کرے اللہ کو اگر بھیجنا ہوتا تو فرشتے بھیجتا یہ بات تو ہم نے کبھی اپنے باپ دادا کے وقتوں میں سنی ہی نہیں (کہ بشر رسول بن کر آئے)
English - Sahih
But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.
اردو ترجمہ احمد علی
سواس کی قوم کے کافر سرداروں نے کہا کہ یہ بس تم ہی جیسا آدمی ہے تم پر بڑائی حاصل کرنا چاہتا ہے اور اگر الله چاہتا تو فرشتے بھیج دیتا ہم نے اپنے پہلے باب دادا سے یہ بات کبھی نہیں سنی

When their Messengers came to them from before them and behind them, saying: ‘Worship none but Allah,’ they said: ‘If our Lord had so willed, He would have certainly sent down angels. So we do disbelieve in that with which you have been sent.’

جب اُن کے پاس ان کے سامنے بھی اور اُن سے پہلے زمانوں میں بھی پیغمبر آتے رہے کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو۔ اُنہوں نے کہا اگر ہمارا ربّ چاہتا تو ضرور فرشتے اتار دیتا۔ پس ہم یقیناً، جس پیغام کے ساتھ تم بھیجے گئے ہو اس کا، انکار کرنے والے ہیں۔
French
Lorsque leurs Messagers vinrent à eux du début à la fin, leur disant : « Adorez seulement Allāh, » ils dirent : « Si Notre Seigneur l’avait voulu, Il aurait certainement fait descendre des anges. Nous refusons donc de croire en ce avec quoi vous avez été envoyés. »
German
Da ihre Gesandten zu ihnen kamen von vorn und von hinten (und sprachen): "Dienet keinem denn Allah", da sprachen sie: "Hätte unser Herr es gewollt, Er würde zweifellos Engel herabgesandt haben. So lehnen wir das ab, womit ihr gesandt worden seid."

Quando i loro messaggeri si erano recati da loro, da davanti a loro e da dietro di loro, dicendo: «Non adorate nessuno all'infuori di Allah», essi risposero: nostro Signore avesse voluto così, certamente avrebbe mandato giù degli angeli. Così, noi non crediamo in ciò con cui voi siete stati mandati.»

یعنی جب اُن کے پاس اُن کے آگے سے بھی اور اُن کے پیچھے سے بھی رسول آئے (یعنی قومی زندگی کے دوران میں متواتر رسول آئے) یہ کہتے ہوئے کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو‘ تو انہوں نے ان کو جواب دیا کہ اگر ہمارا رب چاہتا تو ہم پر خود فرشتے نازل کر دیتا۔ پس ہم اس تعلیم کا جس کے ساتھ تم کو بھیجا گیا ہے انکار کرتے ہیں۔

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And none but angels have We made wardens of the Fire. And We have not fixed their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who have been given the Book may attain to certainty, and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the Book as well as the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is disease and the disbelievers may say, ‘What does Allah mean by such an illustration?’ Thus does Allah adjudge astray whom He pleases and guide whom He pleases. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And this is nothing but a Reminder for man.
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
اور ہم نے فرشتوں کے سوا کسی کو جہنّم کے داروغے نہیں بنایا اور ہم نے اُن کی تعداد مقرر نہیں کی مگر اُن لوگوں کی آزمائش کی خاطر جنہوں نے کفر کیا تاکہ وہ لوگ جنہیں کتاب دی گئی وہ یقین کرلیں اور وہ لوگ جو ایمان لائے ہیں ایمان میں بڑھ جائیں اور جن کو کتاب دی گئی وہ اور مومن کسی شک میں نہ رہیں اور تا وہ جن کے دلوں میں مرض ہے اور کفار کہیں کہ آخر اللہ کا اس تمثیل سے کیا ارادہ ہے؟ اسی طرح اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہ ٹھہراتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے اُسے ہدایت دیتا ہے اور تیرے ربّ کے لشکروں کو کوئی نہیں جانتا مگر وہی۔ اور یہ انسان کے لئے ایک بڑی نصیحت کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں۔
French
Et Nous n’avons désigné personne d’autre que des anges pour être les gardiens du Feu. Et Nous n’avons fixé leur nombre que pour l’épreuve des mécréants, afin que ceux à qui le Livre a été donné puissent atteindre la certitude, et que les croyants puissent augmenter leur foi, et que ceux à qui le Livre a été donné ainsi que les croyants ne doutent pas, et que ceux dans le cœur de qui il y a une maladie, et les mécréants, puissent dire : « Qu’est-ce qu’Allāh entend par cet exemple ? » C’est ainsi qu’Allāh juge égaré qui Il veut, et guide qui Il veut. Et personne ne connaît les armées de ton Seigneur sauf Lui- Même. Et ceci n’est qu’un Rappel pour l’homme.
German
und Wir haben einzig und allein Engel zu Hütern des Feuers gemacht. Und Wir setzten ihre Anzahl nicht fest, außer zur Prüfung derer, die ungläubig sind, auf dass die, denen das Buch gegeben ward, Gewissheit erreichen, und die, die gläubig sind, an Glauben zunehmen, und die, denen die Schrift gegeben ward, und die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln, und die, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und die Ungläubigen sprechen: "Was meint Allah mit diesem Gleichnis?" Also erklärt Allah zum Irrenden, wen Er will, und führt richtig, wen Er will. Keiner kennt die Heerscharen deines Herrn als Er allein. Dies ist nur eine Ermahnung für den Menschen.

E Noi non abbiamo posto, a custodi del fuoco, se non angeli. E Noi non ne abbiamo stabilito il numero, se non come prova per coloro che non credono, così che coloro ai quali è stato dato il libro possano raggiungere la certezza, e coloro che credono possano aumentare la loro fede, e coloro ai quali è stato dato il libro e coloro che credono non dubitino, mentre coloro che hanno il cuore malato e i miscredenti possano dire: «Che vuol dire Allah con tale illustrazione?» Così Allah condanna a deviare chi Gli piace e guida chi Gli piace. E nessuno conosce le schiere del Signore, tranne Lui. E questo non è che un monito per l'uomo.
Spanish
Y sólo hemos hecho guardianes del Fuego a los ángeles. No hemos fijado su número sino como prueba para los incrédulos; para que aquellos a quienes se ha dado el Libro, alcancen la certeza; para que los creyentes aumenten en su fe; para que los que han recibido el Libro y también los creyentes no duden y para que los de corazón enfermo y los incrédulos digan: “¿Qué quiere decir Al-lah con este ejemplo?”. Así juzga Al-lah como extraviados a quienes Le place y guía a quienes Le agrada. Pues nadie conoce los ejércitos de tu Señor fuera de Él. Y esto no es más que un Recordatorio para el hombre.
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
اور دوزخ کے داروغے ہم نے صرف فرشتوں[2] میں سے مقرر کیے ہیں اور ان کی گنتی صرف کافروں کی آزمائش کے طور پر بتائی ہے اور اس کا یہ نتیجہ نکلے گا کہ اہل کتاب کو یقین آجائے گا اور مومن ایمان میں زیادہ ہو جائیں گے اور نہ اہل کتاب شبہ کریں گے اور نہ مومن۔ نتیجہ یہ ہوگا کہ جن کے دلوں میں بیماری ہے وہ اور دوسرے کافر کہیں گے کہ اس بات کے کہنے سے اللہ کا کیا منشا ہے۔ اسی طرح اللہ اسے گمراہ قرار دیتا ہے جس کے متعلق ارادہ کر لیتا ہے اور جس کے متعلق ارادہ کر لیتا ہے اسے ہدایت دے دیتا ہے اور تیرے رب کے لشکروں کو سوائے اس کے کوئی نہیں جانتا۔ اور یہ (قرآن) انسان کے لئے صرف ایک نصیحت ہے۔
اس کا یہ مطلب ہے کہ دوزخ میں رکھنے کا اصل موجب تو فرشتے ہوں گے کیونکہ اتنے لوگوں کو روکنے کی طاقت فرشتوں کو ہی ہے۔ ہاں کبھی کبھی ملائکہ سے اپنی مشابہت بتا کر انسان بھی ان کا کام کرنے لگ جائیں گے۔

The apparently enigmatic "nineteen" may concern some great Divine design or purpose which, when unfolded, will, on the one hand, greatly add to the faith of the believers and, on the other, to the embarrassment and mental confusion of the disbelievers and of "those in whose heart is disease." Otherwise the number of God’s angels is legion, beyond human count or computation, just as the stages of man’s spiritual progress in the Hereafter are number-less.

ہم نے دوزخ کے یہ کارکن فرشتے بنائے ہیں، اور ان کی تعداد کو کافروں کے لیے فتنہ بنا دیا ہے، تاکہ اہل کتاب کو یقین آ جائے اور ایمان لانے والوں کا ایمان بڑھے، اور اہل کتاب اور مومنین کسی شک میں نہ رہیں، اور دل کے بیمار اور کفار یہ کہیں کہ بھلا اللہ کا اِس عجیب بات سے کیا مطلب ہو سکتا ہے اِس طرح اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے گمراہ کر دیتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت بخش دیتا ہے اور تیرے رب کے لشکروں کو خود اُس کے سوا کوئی نہیں جانتا اور اس دوزخ کا ذکر اِس کے سوا کسی غرض کے لیے نہیں کیا گیا ہے کہ لوگوں کو اس سے نصیحت ہو
English - Sahih
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

اور ہم نے دوزخ پر فرشتے ہی رکھے ہیں اور ان کی تعداد کافروں کے لیے آزمائش بنائی ہے تاکہ جن کو کتاب دی گئی ہے وہ یقین کر لیں اور ایمان داروں کا ایمان بڑھے اورتاکہ اہلِ کتاب اور ایمان دار شک نہ کریں اور تاکہ جن کے دلوں میں (نفاق کی) بیماری ہے اورکافر یہ کہیں کہ الله کی اس بیان سے کیاغرض ہے اور الله اس طرح سے جسے چاہتاہے گمراہ کر تا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے ہدایت کرتا ہے اور آپ کے رب کے لشکروں کو اس کے سوا اور کوئی نہیں جانتا اور دوزخ (کا حال بیان کرنا) صرف آدمیوں کی نصیحت کے لیے ہے

And not We have made keepers (of) the Fire except Angels. And not We have made their number except (as) a trial for those who disbelieve - that may be certain those who were given the Scripture and may increase those who believe (in) faith, and not may doubt those who were given the Scripture and the believers, and that may say those in their hearts (is) a disease and the disbelievers "What (does) intend Allah by this example?" Thus does let go astray Allah whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows (the) hosts (of) your Lord except Him. And not it (is) but a reminder to (the) human beings.

We have appointed only angels to be masters of the Fire, and their number We have appointed only as a trial for the unbelievers, that those who were given the Book may have certainty, and that those who believe may increase in belief, and that those who were given the Book and those who believe may not be in-doubt, and that those in whose hearts there is sickness, and the unbelievers, may say, 'What did God intend by this as a similitude?' So God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides whomsoever He will; and none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but a Reminder to mortals.
English - Maududi
We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers' faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: “What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?” Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed.
English - Ahmed Ali
We have not appointed any one but angels as keepers of Hell, and their number that We have fixed is to make it a means of contention for disbelievers, so that those who were given the Book may be certain, and the faith of the believers may have greater increase, and the people of the Book and believers may not be deceived, and the sceptics and infidels may say: "What does God mean by this parable?" That is how God leads whosoever He will astray, and guides whosoever He will. None knows the armies of your Lord save Him self. This is no more than reminder for mankind.
English - Yusuf Ali
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.

Otherwise the number of God’s angels is legion, beyond human count or computation, just as the stages of man’s spiritual progress in the Hereafter are number-less.

We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
English - Muhammad Ali ra
And We have made none but angels wardens of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the Book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the Book and the believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus Allah leaves in error whom He pleases, and guides whom He pleases. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And this is naught but a Reminder to mortals.
English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ra
We have only appointed angels as wardens of the Fire. We have fixed their number only as a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who have been given the Book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and both may not have any doubt, and that those sick at heart and the disbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by such an illustration? Thus does Allah adjudge as having gone astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. None knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. This is but a Reminder for man.
