- Sura: 2 - al-Baqara (The Cow) Ayat: 258
(258
کیا تم نے اس کے حال پر نظر نہیں کی جس نے ابراہیم علیہ السّلام سے پروردگار کے بارے میں بحث کی صرف اس بات پر کہ خدا نے اسے ملک دے دیا تھا جب ابرہیم علیہ السّلام نے یہ کہا کہ میرا خدا جلِاتا بھی ہے اور مارتا بھی ہے تو اس نے کہا کہ یہ کام میں بھی کرسکتا ہوں تو ابراہیم علیہ السّلام نے کہا کہ میرا خدا مشرق سے آفتاب نکالتا ہے تو مغرب سے نکال دے تو کافر حیران رہ گیا اور اللہ ظالم قوم کی ہدایت نہیں کرتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust.
[ PICKTHAL ] Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom; how, when Abraham said: My Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death, he answered: I give life and cause death. Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East, so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the disbeliever abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
[ SHAKIR ] Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people.
- Sura: 5 - al-Maaida (The Table) From Ayat: 16 to 18
يَهْدِي بِهِ اللَّهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَيُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ (16
جس کے ذریعہ خدا اپنی خوشنودی کا اتباع کرنے والوں کو سلامتی کے راستوں کی ہدایت کرتا ہے اور انہیں تاریکیوں سے نکال کر اپنے حکم سے نور کی طرف لے آتا ہے اور انہیں صراط مستقیم کی ہدایت کرتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight.
[ PICKTHAL ] Whereby Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure unto paths of peace. He bringeth them out of darkness unto light by His decree, and guideth them unto a straight path.
[ SHAKIR ] With it Allah guides him who will follow His pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness into light by His will and guides them to the right path.
- Sura: 5 - al-Maaida (The Table) From Ayat: 16 to 18
لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ الْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (17
یقینا وہ لوگ کافر ہیں جن کا کہنا یہ ہے کہ مسیح علیہ السّلام ابن مریم ہی اللہ ہیں -پیغمبر آپ ان سے کہئے کہ پھر خدا کے مقابلہ میں کون کسی امر کا صاحبِ اختیار ہوگا اگر وہ مسیح علیہ السّلام بن مریم اور ان کی ماں اور سارے اہلِ زمین کو مار ڈالنا چاہے اور اللہ ہی کے لئے زمین و آسمان اور ان کے درمیان کی کُل حکومت ہے -وہ جسے بھی چاہتا ہے پیدا کرتا ہے اور وہ ہر شے پر قدرت رکھنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."
[ PICKTHAL ] They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do all things.
[ SHAKIR ] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah-- He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all those on the earth? And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them; He creates what He pleases; and Allah has power over all things,
- Sura: 5 - al-Maaida (The Table) From Ayat: 16 to 18
وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ ۚ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوبِكُمْ ۖ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ ۚ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ (18
اور یہودیوں نے یہ کہنا شروع کردیا کہ ہم اللہ کے فرزند اور اس کے دوست ہیں تو پیغمبر آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ پھر خدا تم پر تمہارے گناہوں کی بنا پر عذاب کیوںکرتا ہے ... بلکہ تم اس کی مخلوقات میں سے بشر ہو اور وہ جس کو چاہتا ہے بخش دیتا ہے اور جس پر چاہتا ہے عذاب کرتا ہے اور اس کے لئے زمین و آسمان اور ان کے درمیان کی کل کائنات ہے اور اسی کی طرف سب کی بازگشت ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"
[ PICKTHAL ] The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins? Nay, ye are but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will. Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and unto Him is the journeying.
[ SHAKIR ] And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your faults? Nay, you are mortals from among those whom He has created, He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him is the eventual coming.
- Sura: 10 - Yunus (Jonas) Ayat: 36
وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِلَّا ظَنًّا ۚ إِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ (36
اور ان کی اکثریت تو صرف خیالات کا اتباع کرتی ہے جب کہ گمان حق کے بارے میں کوئی فائدہ نہیں پہنچاسکتا بیشک اللہ ان کے اعمال سے خوب واقف ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.
[ PICKTHAL ] Most of them follow not but conjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do.
[ SHAKIR ] And most of them do not follow (anything) but conjecture; surely conjecture will not avail aught against the truth; surely Allah is cognizant of what they do.
- Sura: 10 - Yunus (Jonas) Ayat: 57
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُمْ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (57
ایہاالناس !تمہارے پاس پروردگار کی طرف سے نصیحت اور دلوں کی شفا کا سامان اور ہدایت اور صاحبانِ ایمان کے لئے رحمت قرآن آچکا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy.
[ PICKTHAL ] O mankind! There hath come unto you an exhortation from your Lord, a balm for that which is in the breasts, a guidance and a mercy for believers.
[ SHAKIR ] O men! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
- Sura: 13 - ar-Ra`ad (The Thunder) Ayat: 16
قُلْ مَنْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ قُلِ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا ۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمَاتُ وَالنُّورُ ۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكَاءَ خَلَقُوا كَخَلْقِهِ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُلِ اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ (16
پیغمبر کہہ دیجئے کہ بتاؤ کہ زمین و آسمان کا پروردگار کون ہے اور بتادیجئے کہ اللہ ہی ہے اور کہہ دیجئے کہ تم لوگوں نے اس کو چھوڑ کر ایسے سرپرست اختیار کئے ہیں جو خود اپنے نفع و نقصان کے مالک نہیں ہیں اور کہئے کہ کیا اندھے اور بینا ایک جیسے ہوسکتے ہیں یا نورو ظلمت برابر ہوسکتے ہیں یا ان لوگوں نے اللہ کے لئے ایسے شریک بنائے ہیں جنہوں نے اسی کی طرح کی کائنات خلق کی ہے اور ان پر خلقت مشتبہ ہوگئی ہے. کہہ دیجئے کہ اللہ ہی ہر شے کا خالق ہے اور وہی یکتا اور سب پر غالب ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."
[ PICKTHAL ] Say (O Muhammad): Who is Lord of the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. Say: Take ye then (others) beside Him for protectors, which, even for themselves, have neither benefit nor hurt? Say: Is the blind man equal to the seer, or is darkness equal to light? Or assign they unto Allah partners who created the like of His creation so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Almighty.
[ SHAKIR ] Say: Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?-- Say: Allah. Say: Do you take then besides Him guardians who do not control any profit or harm for themselves? Say: Are the blind and the seeing alike? Or can the darkness and the light be equal? Or have they set up with Allah associates who have created creation like His, so that what is created became confused to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme.

ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ (125
آپ اپنے رب کے راستے کی طرف حکمت اور اچھی نصیحت کے ذریعہ دعوت دیں اور ان سے اس طریقہ سے بحث کریں جو بہترین طریقہ ہے کہ آپ کا پروردگار بہتر جانتا ہے کہ کون اس کے راستے سے بہک گیا ہے اور کون لوگ ہدایت پانے والے ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.
[ PICKTHAL ] Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who go aright.
[ SHAKIR ] Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and have disputations with them in the best manner; surely your Lord best knows those who go astray from His path, and He knows best those who follow the right way.

اور کہہ دیجئے کہ حق آگیا اور باطل فنا ہوگیا کہ باطل بہرحال فنا ہونے والا ہے

اور ہم قرآن میں وہ سب کچھ نازل کررہے ہیں جو صاحبان هایمان کے لئے شفا اور رحمت ہے اور ظالمین کے لئے خسارہ میں اضافہ کے علاوہ کچھ نہ ہوگا
[YOUSAF ALI] We send down (stage by stage) in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.
[ PICKTHAL ] And We reveal of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy for believers though it increase the evil-doers in naught save ruin.
[ SHAKIR ] And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust.

[YOUSAF ALI] Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
[ PICKTHAL ] Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
[ SHAKIR ] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
- Sura: 39 - az-Zumar (The Groups) Ayat: 9
أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ (9
کیا وہ شخص جو رات کی گھڑیوں میں سجدہ اور قیام کی حالت میں خدا کی عبادت کرتا ہے اور آخرت کا خوف رکھتا ہے اور اپنے پروردگار کی رحمت کا امیدوار ہے .... کہہ دیجئے کہ کیا وہ لوگ جو جانتے ہیں ان کے برابر ہوجائیں گے جو نہیں جانتے ہیں - اس بات سے نصیحت صرف صاحبانِ عقل حاصل کرتے ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.
[ PICKTHAL ] Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night, prostrate and standing, bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed.
[ SHAKIR ] What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know and those who do not know alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful.

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ (38
اور جو شخص ایمان لے آیا تھا اس نے کہا کہ اے قوم والو میرا اتباع کرو تو میں تمہیں ہدایت کا راستہ دکھاسکتا ہوں
[YOUSAF ALI] The man who believed said further: "O my people! Follow me: I will lead you to the Path of Right.
[ PICKTHAL ] And he who believed said: O my people! Follow me. I will show you the way of right conduct.
[ SHAKIR ] And he who believed said: O my people! follow me, I will guide you to the right course;
- Sura: 40 - al-Ghaafir (The Forgiver) From Ayat: 41 to 42
۞ وَيَا قَوْمِ مَا لِي أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجَاةِ وَتَدْعُونَنِي إِلَى النَّارِ (41
اور اے قوم والو آخر تمہیں کیا ہوگیا ہے کہ میں تمہیں نجات کی دعوت دے رہا ہوں اور تم مجھے جہّنم کی طرف دعوت دے رہے ہو
[YOUSAF ALI] "And O my people! How (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the Fire!
[ PICKTHAL ] And, O my people! What aileth me that I call you unto deliverance when ye call me unto the Fire?
[ SHAKIR ] And, O my people! how is it that I call you to salvation and you call me to the fire?
- Sura: 40 - al-Ghaafir (The Forgiver) From Ayat: 41 to 42
تَدْعُونَنِي لِأَكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَأُشْرِكَ بِهِ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَأَنَا أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الْعَزِيزِ الْغَفَّارِ (42
تمہاری دعوت یہ ہے کہ میں خدا کا انکار کردوں اور انہیں اس کا شریک بنادوں جن کا کوئی علم نہیں ہے اور میں تم کو اس خدا کی طرف دعوت دے رہا ہوں جو صاحب هعزّت اور بہت زیادہ بخشنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] "Ye do call upon me to blaspheme against Allah, and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the Exalted in Power, Who forgives again and again!"
[ PICKTHAL ] Ye call me to disbelieve in Allah and ascribe unto Him as partners that whereof I have no knowledge, while I call you unto the Mighty, the Forgiver.
[ SHAKIR ] You call on me that I should disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I call you to the Mighty, the most Forgiving;
- Sura: 45 - al-Jaathiya (Crouching) From Ayat: 18 to 20
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (18
پھر ہم نے آپ کو اپنے حکم کے واضح راستہ پر لگادیا لہٰذا آپ اسی کا اتباع کریں اور خبرار جاہلوں کی خواہشات کا اتباع نہ کریں
[YOUSAF ALI] Then We put thee on the (right) Way of Religion: so follow thou that (Way), and follow not the desires of those who know not.
[ PICKTHAL ] And now have We set thee (O Muhammad) on a clear road of (Our) commandment; so follow it, and follow not the whims of those who know not.
[ SHAKIR ] Then We have made you follow a course in the affair, therefore follow it, and do not follow the low desires of those who do not know.
- Sura: 45 - al-Jaathiya (Crouching) From Ayat: 18 to 20
إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُغْنُوا عَنْكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا ۚ وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۖ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ (19
یہ لوگ خدا کے مقابلہ میں ذرہ برابر کام آنے والے نہیں ہیں اور ظالمین آپس میں ایک دوسرے کے دوست ہیں تو اللہ صاحبانِ تقویٰ کا سرپرست ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] They will be of no use to thee in the sight of Allah: it is only Wrong-doers (that stand as) protectors, one to another: but Allah is the Protector of the Righteous.
[ PICKTHAL ] Lo! they can avail thee naught against Allah. And lo! as for the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the Friend of those who ward off (evil).
[ SHAKIR ] Surely they shall not avail you in the least against Allah; and surely the unjust are friends of each other, and Allah is the guardian of those who guard (against evil).

[ PICKTHAL ] This is clear indication for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy for a folk whose faith is sure.
[ SHAKIR ] These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who are sure.

وَمَا لَهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا (28
حالانکہ ان کے پاس اس سلسلہ میں کوئی علم نہیں ہے یہ صرف وہم و گمان کے پیچھے چلے جارہے ہیں اور گمان حق کے بارے میں کوئی فائدہ نہیں پہنچا سکتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.
[ PICKTHAL ] And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.
[ SHAKIR ] And they have no knowledge of it; they do not follow anything but conjecture, and surely conjecture does not avail against the truth at all.
- Sura: 53 - an-Najm (The Star) From Ayat: 28 to 29
فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْ مَنْ تَوَلَّىٰ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا (29
لہذا جو شخص بھی ہمارے ذکر سے منہ پھیرے اور زندگانی دنیا کے علاوہ کچھ نہ چاہے آپ بھی اس سے کنارہ کش ہوجائیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.
[ PICKTHAL ] Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.
[ SHAKIR ] Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire anything but this world's life.
- Sura: 62 - al-Jumu`a (Friday) Ayat: 2
هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ (2
"اس خدا نے مکہ والوں میں ایک رسول بھیجا ہے جو ان ہی میں سے تھا کہ ان کے سامنے آیات کی تلاوت کرے ,ان کے نفوس کو پاکیزہ بنائے اور انہیں کتاب و حکمت کی تعلیم دے اگرچہ یہ لوگ بڑی کھلی ہوئی گمراہی میں مبتلا تھے"
[YOUSAF ALI] It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered a messenger from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been, before, in manifest error;-
[ PICKTHAL ] He it is Who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom, though heretofore they were indeed in error manifest,
[ SHAKIR ] He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca an Messenger from among themselves, who recites to them His communications and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, although they were before certainly in clear error,
