(30
اے رسولؐ! اس وقت کو یاد کرو جب تمہارے پروردگار نے ملائکہ سے کہا کہ میں زمین میں اپنا خلیفہ بنانے والا ہوں اور انہوں نے کہا کہ کیا اسے بنائے گا جو زمین میں فساد برپا کرے اور خونریزی کرے جب کہ ہم تیری تسبیح اور تقدیس کرتے ہیں تو ارشاد ہوا کہ میں وہ جانتا ہوں جو تم نہیں جانتے ہو
[YOUSAF ALI] Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."
[ PICKTHAL ] And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.
[ SHAKIR ] And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place in the earth a khalif, they said: What! wilt Thou place in it such as shall make mischief in it and shed blood, and we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness? He said: Surely I know what you do not know.

وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَاءِ هَٰؤُلَاءِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ (31
اور خدا نے آدم علیہ السّلام کو تمام اسماء کی تعلیم دی اور پھر ان سب کو ملائکہ کے سامنے پیش کر کے فرمایا کہ ذرا تم ان سب کے نام تو بتاؤ اگر تم اپنے خیالِ استحقاق میں سچّے ہو
[YOUSAF ALI] And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if ye are right."
[ PICKTHAL ] And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them to the angels, saying: Inform Me of the names of these, if ye are truthful.
[ SHAKIR ] And He taught Adam all the names, then presented them to the angels; then He said: Tell me the names of those if you are right.
- Sura: 3 - aal-`Imraan (The Family of `Imraan) Ayat: 110
كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ آمَنَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ ۚ مِنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ (110
تم بہترین امت ہو جسے لوگوں کے لئے منظرعام پر لایا گیا ہے تم لوگوں کو نیکیوں کا حکم دیتے ہو اور برائیوں سے روکتے ہو اور اللہ پر ایمان رکھتے ہو اور اگر اہل کتاب بھی ایمان لے آتے تو ان کے حق میں بہتر ہوتا لیکن ان میں صرف چند مومنین ہیں اور اکثریت فاسق ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.
[ PICKTHAL ] Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.
[ SHAKIR ] You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah; and if the followers of the Book had believed it would have been better for them; of them (some) are believers and most of them are transgressors.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا (1
انسانو! اس پروردگار سے ڈرو جس نے تم سب کو ایک نفس سے پیدا کیا ہے اور اس کا جوڑا بھی اسی کی جنس سے پیدا کیا ہے اور پھر دونوں سے بکثرت مرد وعورت دنیا میں پھیلا دئیے ہیں اور اس خدا سے بھی ڈرو جس کے ذریعہ ایک دوسرے سے سوال کرتے ہو اور قرابتداروں کی بے تعلقی سے بھی- اللہ تم سب کے اعمال کا نگراں ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.
[ PICKTHAL ] O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you). Lo! Allah hath been a watcher over you.
[ SHAKIR ] O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.

اے داؤد علیہ السّلام ہم نے تم کو زمین میں اپنا جانشین بنایا ہے لہٰذا تم لوگوں کے درمیان حق کے ساتھ فیصلہ کرو اور خواہشات کا اتباع نہ کرو کہ وہ راہِ خدا سے منحرف کردیں بیشک جو لوگ راہِ خدا سے بھٹک جاتے ہیں ان کے لئے شدید عذاب ہے کہ انہوں نے روزِ حساب کو یکسر نظرانداز کردیا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.
[ PICKTHAL ] (And it was said unto him): O David! Lo! We have set thee as a viceroy in the earth; therefor judge aright between mankind, and follow not desire that it beguile thee from the way of Allah. Lo! those who wander from the way of Allah have an awful doom, forasmuch as they forgot the Day of Reckoning.
[ SHAKIR ] o Dawood ! surely We have made you a ruler in the land; so judge between men with justice and do not follow desire, lest it should lead you astray from the path of Allah; (as for) those who go astray from the path of Allah, they shall surely have a severe punishment because they forgot the day of reckoning.
