English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says, ‘It has been revealed to me,’ while nothing has been revealed to him; and who says, ‘I will send down the like of that which Allah has sent down?’ And if thou couldst only see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death, and the angels stretch forth their hands, saying, ‘Yield up your souls. This day shall you be awarded the punishment of disgrace, because of that which you spoke against Allah falsely and because you turned away from His Signs with disdain.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اس سے زیادہ ظالم کون ہے جس نے اللہ پر جھوٹ گھڑا یا کہا کہ میری طرف وحی کی گئی ہے جبکہ اس کی طرف کچھ بھی وحی نہیں کیا گیا اور جو یہ کہے کہ میں ویسا ہی کلام اتاروں گا جیسا اللہ نے اتارا ہے۔ اور کاش تو دیکھ سکتا جب ظالم موت کی یورشوں کے نرغے میں ہوں گے اور فرشتے ان کی طرف اپنے ہاتھ بڑھا رہے ہوں گے (کہ) اپنی جانوں کو باہر نکالو۔ آج کے دن تم سخت ذلّت کا عذاب دیئے جاؤ گے ان باتوں کے سبب جو تم اللہ پر ناحق کہا کرتے تھے اور اس کے نشانات سے تکبر سے پیش آتے تھے۔

French

Et qui est plus injuste que celui qui invente un mensonge contre Allāh, ou qui dit : « Il m’a été révélé ceci, » alors que rien ne lui a été révélé ; et qui dit : « Je ferai descendre une révélation pareille à celle qu’Allāh a fait descendre ? » Et si tu voyais, lorsque les impies sont dans les affres de la mort, et que les anges tendent leurs mains, en disant : « Rendez vos âmes ; c’est aujourd’hui que vous sera infligé le châtiment de l'humiliation pour ce que vous disiez sur Allāh d’autre que la vérité, et parce que vous vous détourniez de Nos Signes avec orgueil. »

German

Wer ist ungerechter, als wer eine Lüge wider Allah erdichtet oder spricht: "Mir ward offenbart", während ihm doch nichts offenbart worden, und wer da spricht: "Ich werde dergleichen hinabsenden, wie Allah hinabgesandt hat."? Aber könntest du die Frevler nur sehen in des Todes Schlünden, wenn die Engel ihre Hände ausstrecken: "Liefert eure Seelen aus! Heute sei die Strafe der Schande euer Lohn um dessentwillen, was ihr Falsches wider Allah gesprochen, und weil ihr euch mit Verachtung abwandtet von Seinen Zeichen."

Chinese

一个人以安拉之名故意捏造虚假, 或说: “我受赐了启示,” 其实他并没受赐过启示。[a]谁比他还不义? (同样地), 一个人说: “我确将下降像安拉所下降的 (一样的言语),” (谁比他还不义?) 如果你看到不义的人面临死亡的痛苦, 天使伸着手向他们说: “取出你们的灵魂吧! 因为关于安拉, 你们常说虚假, 并对他的迹象采取傲慢态度, 所以[b]今天你们将遭受耻辱的惩罚。” (那时你将看到一个令人警戒的景象。)

Italian

E chi è più ingiusto di colui che inventa menzogne contro Allah, o dice: «Mi è stato rivelato», mentre non gli è stato rivelato proprio nulla; e che afferma: «Io invierò qualcosa di simile a quello che Allah ha inviato»? Oh, se soltanto potessi vedere quando gli iniqui saranno nelle agonie della morte, e gli angeli protenderanno loro mani, dicendo: «Fuori le vostre anime. In questo giorno vi sarà data la punizione della ignominia, per le vostre menzogne contro Allah e per esservi sdegnosamente rivoltati contro i Suoi segni.

Spanish

¿Quién es más injusto que quien inventa una mentira contra Al-lah o dice: “me ha sido revelado”, cuando nada le fue revelado; y quien dice: “haré descender algo similar a lo que Al-lah ha hecho descender”. ¡Ojalá pudieras ver a los malhechores en la agonía de la muerte y a los ángeles extender sus manos diciendo: “¡entregad vuestras almas! Este día seréis pagados con el castigo de la desgracia, por lo que dijisteis en falso contra Al-lah y por haberos apartado con desdén de Sus Signos”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اس شخص سے زیادہ ظالم کون ہو سکتا ہے جو جان بوجھ کر اللہ پر جھوٹ باندھے یا یہ کہے کہ مجھ پر وحی (نازل) کی گئی ہے حالانکہ اس پر وحی (نازل) نہ کی گئی ہو اور (اسی طرح) اس شخص سے (زیادہ ظالم کون ہو سکتا ہے) جو کہتا ہے کہ جو کچھ اللہ نے اتارا ہے میں بھی یقیناً ویسا ہی (کلام) اتار دوں گا۔ اور اگر تو (اس وقت کو) دیکھے جبکہ ظالم موت کی تکالیف میں مبتلا ہوں گے اور فرشتے (یہ کہتے ہوئے) اپنے ہاتھ پھیلا رہے ہوں گے کہ اپنی جانیں نکالو۔ جو کچھ تم اللہ کے متعلق ناحق کہتے تھے اور جو تم اس کی آیتوں کے بارے میں تکبر سے کام لیتے تھے اس کے سبب سے تمہیں آج رسوائی کا عذاب دیا جائے گا (تو تجھے ایک عبرت ناک نظارہ نظر آئے گا۔)

English - Short Commentary Translation

And [d]who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says, ‘It has been revealed to me,’ while nothing has been revealed to him; and who says, ‘I will send down the like of that which Allah has sent down?’ And if thou couldst only see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death,[877] and the angels stretch forth their hands, saying, ‘Yield up your souls. [a]This day shall you be awarded the punishment of disgrace because of that which you spoke against Allah falsely and because you turned away from His Signs with disdain.’

And [a]who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says, ‘It has been revealed to me,’ while nothing has been revealed to him; and who says, ‘I will send down the like of that which Allah has sent down?’ And if thou couldst only see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death, and the angels stretch forth their hands, saying, ‘Yield up your souls. [b]This day shall you be awarded the punishment of disgrace, because of that which you spoke against Allah falsely and because you turned away from His Signs with disdain.’[836]

46:21.

Commentary:

The verse gives another reason of the fact that the Quran is the revealed Word of God. If this Book, says the verse, is not the Word of God, then he who has forged this lie against God is the most guilty of men and cannot escape Divine punishment. But the verse also reminds deniers or rejecters that if the Quran is not a forged Book but the Word of God, as it actually is, then they are as great offenders as the one who forges a lie against God. In this case, it will be they who will be visited with Divine punishment.

The second sentence, i.e. or says, It has been revealed to me while nothing has been revealed to him, may be taken as an explanation or elaboration of the first sentence, i.e. who forges a lie against Allah; or the first sentence is general, while the second is particular. For instance, falsely to ascribe any teaching to God will come under the first category, and to claim falsely that God has spoken to him particular words will come under the second.

By saying, I will send down the like of that which Allah has sent down, a disbeliever only borrows the phraseology of those whom he addresses, viz. believers. Being a disbeliever in Divine revelation, he does not believe that God sends down anything, so he only quotes the expression made use of by believers concerning Divine revelation. Another instance of such usage is to be met with in 5:44.

The words, if thou couldst only see, signify that if anyone should witness the torment which the deniers of Prophets undergo when their souls leave their bodies, he would at once realize how severe is the torment of those who reject a Divine Messenger. This torment is not to be identified with the ordinary agonies of death, which are shared, under the general law of nature, by righteous and unrighteous alike, but to the specific punishment that clings to the rejecters of Prophets from the very moment of their death. The "punishment of disgrace" mentioned in the latter part of the verse refers, as the words "this day" indicate, not to the punishment of Hell but to the punishment which sinners begin to undergo immediately after death and before the Day of Resurrection. This is known as عذاب القبر (‘Adhabul-Qabr), i.e. punishment in the grave, in Islamic religious terminology, قبر or grave being the name given to the place where souls are kept after death but before Resurrection. Says the Holy Prophet: "When anyone dies, a window is opened out for him in the grave facing Heaven or Hell as the case may be" (Majah, ch. on Qabr). This is, of course, not the final retribution but only preparatory to it.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور اُس شخص سے بڑا ظالم اور کون ہوگا جو اللہ پر جھوٹا بہتان گھڑے، یا کہے کہ مجھ پر وحی آئی ہے درآں حالیکہ اس پر کوئی وحی نازل نہ کی گئی ہو، یا جو اللہ کی نازل کردہ چیز کے مقابلہ میں کہے کہ میں بھی ایسی چیز نازل کر کے دکھا دوں گا؟ کاش تم ظالموں کو اس حالت میں دیکھ سکو جب کہ وہ سکرات موت میں ڈبکیاں کھا رہے ہوتے ہیں اور فرشتے ہاتھ بڑھا بڑھا کر کہہ رہے ہوتے ہیں کہ "لاؤ، نکالو اپنی جان، آج تمہیں اُن باتوں کی پاداش میں ذلت کا عذاب دیا جائے گا جو تم اللہ پر تہمت رکھ کر ناحق بکا کرتے تھے اور اُس کی آیات کے مقابلہ میں سرکشی دکھاتے تھے"

English - Sahih

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allah revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allah other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اس سے زیادہ ظالم کون ہو گا جو الله پربہتان باندھے یا یہ کہے کہ مجھ پر وحی نازل ہوئی ہے حالانکہ اس پر وحی نہ اتری ہو اور جو کہے میں بھی ایسی چیز اتار سکتا ہوں جیسی کہ الله نے اتاری ہے اور اگر تو دیکھے جس وقت ظالم موت کی سختیوں میں ہوں گے اور فرشتے اپنے ہاتھ بڑھانے والےہوں گے کہ اپنی جانوں کو نکالو آج تمہیں ذلت کا عذاب ملے گا اس سبب سے کہ تم الله پر جھوٹی باتیں کہتے تھے اور اس کی آیتوں کے ماننے سے تکبر کرتے تھے

English - Talal Itani

And who (is) more unjust than (one) who invents about Allah a lie or said, "It has been inspired to me" while not it was inspired to him anything, and (one) who said, "I will reveal like what (has been) revealed (by) Allah." And if you (could) see when the wrongdoers (are) in agonies (of) [the] death while the Angels (are) stretching out their hands (saying), "Discharge your souls! Today you will be recompensed (with) punishment, humiliating, because you used to say against Allah other than the truth and you were towards His Verses being arrogant."

English - Arberry

And who does greater evil than he who forges against God a lie, or says,, 'To me it has been revealed', when naught has been revealed to him, or he who says, 'I will send down the like of what God has sent down'? If thou couldst only see when the evildoers are in the agonies of death, and the angels are stretching out their hands: 'Give up your souls! Today you shall be recompensed with the chastisement of humiliation for what you said untruly about God, waxing proud against His signs.'

English - Maududi

Who can be more unjust than he who places a lie on Allah and who says: 'Revelation has come to me' when in fact nothing was revealed to him, and who says: 'I will produce the like of what Allah has revealed?' If you could but see the wrongdoers in the agonies of death, and the angels stretching out their hands (saying): 'Yield up your souls! Today you will be recompensed with the chastisement of humiliation for the lie you spoke concerning Allah, and for you waxing proud against His signs.'

English - Ahmed Ali

Who is more vile than he who slanders God of falsehood, or says: "Revelation came to me," when no such revelation came to him; or one who claims: "I can reveal the like of what has been sent down by God?" If you could see the evil creatures in the agony of death with the angels thrusting forward their hands (saying): "Yield up your souls: This day you will suffer ignominious punishment for uttering lies about God and rejecting His signs with arrogance."

English - Yusuf Ali

Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of His signs!"

English - Pickthall

Who is guilty of more wrong than he who forgeth a lie against Allah, or saith: I am inspired, when he is not inspired in aught; and who saith: I will reveal the like of that which Allah hath revealed? If thou couldst see, when the wrong-doers reach the pangs of death and the angels stretch their hands out (saying): Deliver up your souls.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says, Revelation has been granted to me; while nothing has been revealed to him; and he who says: I can reveal the like of that which Allah has revealed? And if thou couldst see when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death and the angels stretch forth their hands (saying): Yield up your souls.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Who is more unjust than one who deliberately fabricates a lie against Allah: or says: I am the recipient of revelation, while nothing has been revealed to him; or says: I will surely send down the like of that which Allah has sent down? If thou couldst but see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death, and the angels stretch forth their hands, demanding: Yield up your souls; this day shall you be awarded a humiliating punishment, because of that which you used to speak against Allah falsely and because you used to turn away from His Signs with disdain.
