قَالَ يَا آدَمُ أَنْبِئْهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا أَنْبَأَهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ (33
ارشاد ہوا کہ آدم علیہ السّلام اب تم انہیں باخبر کردو. تو جب آدم علیہ السّلام نے باخبر کردیا تو خدا نے فرمایا کہ میں نے تم سے نہ کہا تھا کہ میں آسمان و زمین کے غیب کو جانتا ہوں اور جو کچھ تم ظاہر کرتے ہو یا چھپاتے ہو سب کو جانتا ہوں
[YOUSAF ALI] He said: "O Adam! Tell them their names." When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"
[ PICKTHAL ] He said: O Adam! Inform them of their names, and when he had informed them of their names, He said: Did I not tell you that I know the secret of the heavens and the earth? And I know that which ye disclose and which ye hide.
[ SHAKIR ] He said: O Adam! inform them of their names. Then when he had informed them of their names, He said: Did I not say to you that I surely know what is ghaib in the heavens and the earth and (that) I know what you manifest and what you hide?

جس طرح ہم نے تمہارے درمیان تم ہی میں سے ایک رسولؐ بھیجا ہے جو تم پر ہماری آیات کی تلاوت کرتا ہے تمہیں پاک و پاکیزہ بناتا ہے اور تمہیں کتاب و حکمت کی تعلیم دیتا ہے اور وہ سب کچھ بتاتا ہے جو تم نہیں جانتے تھے
[YOUSAF ALI] A similar (favour have ye already received) in that We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, rehearsing to you Our Signs, and sanctifying you, and instructing you in Scripture and Wisdom, and in new knowledge.
[ PICKTHAL ] Even as We have sent unto you a messenger from among you, who reciteth unto you Our revelations and causeth you to grow, and teacheth you the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth you that which ye knew not.
[ SHAKIR ] Even as We have sent among you a Messenger from among you who recites to you Our communications and purifies you and teaches you the Book and the wisdom and teaches you that which you did not know.

یہ سب رسول وہ ہیں جنہیں ہم نے بعض کو بعض پر فضیلت دی ہے۔ ان میں سے بعض وہ ہیں جن سے خدا نے کلام کیا ہے اور بعض کے درجات بلند کئے ہیں اور ہم نے عیسیٰ بن مریم علیہ السّلام کو کھلی ہوئی نشانیاں دی ہیں اور روح القدس کے ذریعہ ان کی تائید کی ہے۔ اگر خدا چاہتا تو ان رسولوں کے بعد والے ان واضح معجزات کے آجانے کے بعد آپس میں جھگڑا نہ کرتے لیکن ان لوگوں نے (خدا کے جبر نہ کرنے کی بنا پر) اختلاف کیا
ہے۔ بعض ایمان لائے اور بعض کافر ہو گئے اور اگر خدا طے کر لیتا تو یہ جھگڑا نہ کرسکتے لیکن خدا جو چاہتا وہی کرتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Those messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His plan.
[ PICKTHAL ] Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.
[ SHAKIR ] We have made some of these messengers to excel the others among them are they to whom Allah spoke, and some of them He exalted by (many degrees of) rank; and We gave clear miracles to Isa son of Marium, and strengthened him with the holy spirit. And if Allah had pleased, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear arguments had come to them, but they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied; and if Allah had pleased they would not have fought one with another, but Allah brings about what He intends.

اے پیغمبرؐ ان کی ہدایت پا جانے کی ذمہ داری آپ پر نہیں ہے بلکہ خدا جس کو چاہتا ہے ہدایت دے دیتا ہے اور لوگو جو مال بھی تم راہِ خدا میں خرچ کرو گے وہ دراصل اپنے ہی لئے ہوگا اور تم تو صرف خوشنودیءِ خدا کے لئے خرچ کرتے ہو اور جو کچھ بھی خرچ کرو گے وہ پورا پورا تمہاری طرف واپس آئے گا اور تم پر کسی طرح کا ظلم نہ ہو گا
[YOUSAF ALI] It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.
[ PICKTHAL ] The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves, when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and whatsoever good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.
[ SHAKIR ] To make them walk in the right way is not incumbent on you, but Allah guides aright whom He pleases; and whatever good thing you spend, it is to your own good; and you do not spend but to seek Allah's pleasure; and whatever good things you spend shall be paid back to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.

اے پیغمبرؐ اگر یہ لوگ آپ سے کٹ حجّتی کریں تو کہہ دیجئے کہ میرا رخ تمام تر اللہ کی طرف ہے اور میرے پیرو بھی ایسے ہی ہیں اور پھر اہلِ کتاب اور جاہل مشرکین سے پوچھئے کیا تم اسلام لے آئے- اگر وہ اسلام لے آئے تو گویا ہدایت پاگئے اور اگر منہ پھیر لیا تو آپ کا فرض صرف تبلیغ تھا اور اللہ اپنے بندوں کو خوب پہچانتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] So if they dispute with thee, say: "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all) His servants.
[ PICKTHAL ] And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not: Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to convey the message (unto them). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.
[ SHAKIR ] But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myself entirely to Allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been given the Book and the unlearned people: Do you submit yourselves? So if they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message and Allah sees the servants.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَاطِينَ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ يُوحِي بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ (112
اور اسی طرح ہم نے ہر نبی کے لئے جنات و انسان کے شیاطین کو ان کا دشمن قرار دے دیا ہے یہ آپس میں ایک دوسرے کی طرف دھوکہ دینے کے لئے مہمل باتوں کے اشارے کرتے ہیں اور اگر خدا چاہ لیتا تو یہ ایسا نہ کرسکتے لہذا اب آپ انہیں ان کے افترا کے حال پر چھوڑ دیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Likewise did We make for every Messenger an enemy,- evil ones among men and jinns, inspiring each other with flowery discourses by way of deception. If thy Lord had so planned, they would not have done it: so leave them and their inventions alone.
[ PICKTHAL ] Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;
[ SHAKIR ] And thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, the Shaitans from among men and jinn, some of them suggesting to others varnished falsehood to deceive (them), and had your Lord pleased they would not have done it, therefore leave them and that which they forge.

[YOUSAF ALI] But if they turn away, thy duty is only to preach the clear Message.
