- Sura: 4 - an-Nisaa' (The Women) Ayat: 1
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.
- Sura: 6 - al-An`aam (The Cattle) Ayat: 91
(91
اور ان لوگوں نے واقعی خدا کی قدر نہیں کی جب کہ یہ کہہ دیا کہ اللہ نے کسی بشر پر کچھ نہیں نازل کیا ہے تو ان سے پوچھئے کہ یہ کتاب جو موسٰی علیہ السّلام لے کر آئے تھے جو نور اور لوگوں کے لئے ہدایت تھی اور جسے تم نے چند کاغذات بنا دیا ہے اور کچھ حصّہ ظاہر کیا اور کچھ چُھپا دیا حالانکہ اس کے ذریعہ تمہیں وہ سب بتا دیا گیا تھا جو تمہارے باپ دادا کو بھی نہیں معلوم تھا یہ سب کس نے نازل کیا ہے اب آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ وہ وہی اللہ ہے اور پھر انہیں چھوڑ دیجئے یہ اپنی بکواس میں کھیلتے پھریں
[YOUSAF ALI] No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "Allah (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.
[ PICKTHAL ] And they measure not the power of Allah its true measure when they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a human being. Say (unto the Jews who speak thus): Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for mankind, which ye have put on parchments which ye show, but ye hide much (thereof), and (by which) ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah. Then leave them to their play of cavilling.
[ SHAKIR ] And they do not assign to Allah the attributes due to Him when they say: Allah has not revealed anything to a mortal. Say: Who revealed the Book which Musa brought, a light and a guidance to men, which you make into scattered writings which you show while you conceal much? And you were taught what you did not know, (neither) you nor your fathers. Say: Allah then leave them sporting in their vain discourses.
- Sura: 8 - al-Anfaal (The Spoils of War) Ayat: 61
۞ وَإِنْ جَنَحُوا لِلسَّلْمِ فَاجْنَحْ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (61
اور اگر وہ صلح کی طرف مائل ہوں تو تم بھی جھک جاؤ اور اللہ پر بھروسہ کرو کہ وہ سب کچھ سننے والا اور جاننے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).
[ PICKTHAL ] And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it, and trust in Allah. Lo! He, even He, is the Hearer, the Knower.
[ SHAKIR ] And if they incline to peace, then incline to it and trust in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
- Sura: 16 - an-Nahl (The Bee) Ayat: 92
وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنْكَاثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (92
اور خبردار اس عورت کے مانند نہ ہوجاؤ جس نے اپنے دھاگہ کو مضبوط کاتنے کے بعد پھر اسے ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کرڈالا-کیا تم اپنے معاہدے کو اس چالاکی کا ذریعہ بناتے ہو کہ ایک گروہ دوسرے گروہ سے زیادہ فائدہ حاصل کرے-اللہ تمہیں ان ہی باتوں کے ذریعے آزما رہا ہے اور یقینا روزِ قیامت اس امر کی وضاحت کردے گا جس میںتم آپس میں اختلاف کررہے تھے
[YOUSAF ALI] And be not like a woman who breaks into untwisted strands the yarn which she has spun, after it has become strong. Nor take your oaths to practise deception between yourselves, lest one party should be more numerous than another: for Allah will test you by this; and on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make clear to you (the truth of) that wherein ye disagree.
[ PICKTHAL ] And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed.
[ SHAKIR ] And be not like her who unravels her yarn, disintegrating it into pieces after she has spun it strongly. You make your oaths to be means of deceit between you because (one) nation is more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only tries you by this; and He will most certainly make clear to you on the resurrection day that about which you differed.
- Sura: 49 - al-Hujraat (The Inner Apartments) Ayat: 3
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ (3
بیشک جو لوگ رسول اللہ کے سامنے اپنی آواز کو دھیما رکھتے ہیں یہی وہ لوگ ہیں جن کے دلوں کو خدا نے تقویٰ کے لئے آزمالیا ہے اور ان ہی کے لئے مغفرت اور اجر عظیم ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Those that lower their voices in the presence of Allah's Messenger,- their hearts has Allah tested for piety: for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.
[ PICKTHAL ] Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.
[ SHAKIR ] Surely those who lower their voices before Allah's Messenger are they whose hearts Allah has proved for guarding (against evil); they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.
