He has verily revealed to you this Book, in truth and confirmation of the Books revealed before, as indeed He had revealed the Torah and the Gospel
Shakir
He has revealed to you the Book with truth, verifying that which is before it, and He revealed the Tavrat and the Injeel aforetime, a guidance for the people, and He sent the Furqan.

اس نے تم پر یہ سچی کتاب اتاری اگلی کتابوں کی تصدیق فرماتی اور اس نے اس سے پہلے توریت اور انجیل اتاری،
Before this as guidance for men, and has sent the criterion (of falsehood and truth). As for those who deny the signs of God, the punishment is severe; for God is all powerful and great His requital.
Shakir
Surely they who disbelieve in the communications of Allah they shall have a severe chastisement; and Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution.

لوگوں کو راہ دکھاتی اور فیصلہ اتارا، بیشک وہ جو اللہ کی آیتوں سے منکر ہوئے (ف۳)ان کے لئے سخت عذاب ہے اور اللہ غالب بدلہ لینے والا ہے،
He has sent down this Book which contains some verses that are categorical and basic to the Book, and others allegorical. But those who are twisted of mind look for verses metaphorical, seeking deviation and giving to them interpretations of their own; but none knows their meaning except God; and those who are steeped in knowledge affirm: "We believe in them as all of them are from the Lord." But only those who have wisdom understand.
Shakir
He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.

وہی ہے جس نے تم پر یہ کتاب اتاری اس کی کچھ آیتیں صاف معنی رکھتی ہیں (ف۶) وہ کتاب کی اصل ہیں (ف۷) اور دوسری وہ ہیں جن کے معنی میں اشتباہ ہے (ف۸) وہ جن کے دلوں میں کجی ہے (ف۹) وہ اشتباہ والی کے پیچھے پڑتے ہیں (ف۱۰) گمراہی چاہنے (ف۱۱) اور اس کا پہلو ڈھونڈنے کو (ف۱۲) اور اس کا ٹھیک پہلو اللہ ہی کو معلوم ہے (ف۱۳) اور پختہ علم والے (ف۱۴) کہتے ہیں ہم اس پر ایمان لائے (ف۱۵) سب ہمارے رب کے پاس سے ہے (ف۱۶) اور نصیحت نہیں مانتے مگر عقل والے (ف۱۷)
As for those who deny, neither their wealth nor their children will help them in the least against God. They shall be but faggots for (the fire of) Hell,
Shakir
(As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah, and these it is who are the fuel of the fire.

بیشک وہ جو کافر ہوئے (ف۲۱) ان کے مال اور ان کی اولاد اللہ سے انہیں کچھ نہ بچاسکیں گے اور وہی دوزخ کے ایندھن ہیں،
Like the people of the Pharaoh, and those before them, who rejected Our signs, and were punished for their sins by God; and the punishment of God is severe.
Shakir
Like the striving of the people of Firon and those before them; they rejected Our communications, so Allah destroyed them on account of their faults; and Allah is severe in requiting (evil).

جیسے فرعون والوں اور ان سے اگلوں کا طریقہ، انہوں نے ہماری آیتیں جھٹلائیں تو اللہ نے ان کے گناہوں پر ان کو پکڑا اور اللہ کا عذاب سخت،
There was a token for you in the two armies which clashed (in the battle of Badr), one fighting for God, the other of unbelievers who saw with their own eyes the faithful to be two times as many as they, for God reinforces with His help whomsoever He will. In this is a lesson for those who have eyes.
Shakir
Indeed there was a sign for you in the two hosts (which) met together in encounter; one party fighting in the way of Allah and the other unbelieving, whom they saw twice as many as themselves with the sight of the eye and Allah strengthens with His aid whom He pleases; most surely there is a lesson in this for those who have sight.

بیشک تمہارے لئے نشانی تھی (ف۲۳) دو گروہوں میں جو آپس میں بھڑ پڑے (ف۲۴) ایک جتھا اللہ کی راہ میں لڑتا (ف۲۵) اور دوسرا کافر (ف۲۶) کہ انہیں آنکھوں دیکھا اپنے سے دونا سمجھیں، اور اللہ اپنی مدد سے زور دیتا ہے جسے چاہتا ہے (ف۲۷) بیشک اس میں عقلمندوں کے لئے ضرور دیکھ کر سیکھنا ہے،
Enamoured are the people of the lust of (earthly) pleasures, of women and of children and hoarded heaps of gold and silver, well-bred horses, and tilled land and cattle, all (vain) goods and chattels of the life of this world, while the best of abodes is with God.
Shakir
The love of desires, of women and sons and hoarded treasures of gold and silver and well bred horses and cattle and tilth, is made to seem fair to men; this is the provision of the life of this world; and Allah is He with Whom is the good goal (of life).

لوگوں کے لئے آراستہ کی گئی ان خواہشوں کی محبت (ف۲۸) عورتوں اور بیٹے اور تلے اوپر سونے چاندے کے ڈھیر اور نشان کئے ہوئے گھوڑے اور چوپائے اور کھیتی یہ جیتی دنیا کی پونجی ہے (ف۲۹) اور اللہ ہے جس کے پاس اچھا ٹھکانا (ف۳۰)
Say: "Shall I tell you of (things) even better? With the Lord are gardens with running streams of water for those who keep from evil and follow the straight path, where they will live unchanged with the purest of companions and blessings of God." And under God´s eyes are devotees who say:
Shakir
Say:Shall}I tell you what is better than these? For those who guard (against evil) are gardens with their Lord, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them, and pure mates and Allah´s pleasure; and Allah sees the servants.

تم فرماؤ کیا میں تمہیں اس سے (ف۳۱) بہتر چیز بتادوں پرہیزگاروں کے لئے ان کے رب کے پاس جنتیں ہیں جن کے نیچے نہریں رواں ہمیشہ ان میں رہیں گے اور ستھری بیبیاں (ف۳۲) اور اللہ کی خوشنودی (ف۳۳) اور اللہ بندوں کو دیکھتا ہے (ف۳۴)
