| Ahmed Ali | بے شک الله نہیں شرماتا اس بات سے کہ کوئی مثال بیان کرے مچھر کی یا اس چیز کی جو اس سے بڑھ کر ہے سو جو لوگ مومن ہیں وہ اسے اپنے رب کی طرف سے صحیح جانتے ہیں اور جو کافر ہیں سو کہتے ہیں الله کا اس مثال سے کیا مطلب ہے الله اس مثال سے بہتوں کو گمراہ کرتا ہے اور بہتوں کو اس سے ہدایت کرتا ہے اوراس سے گمراہ تو بدکاروں ہی کو کیا کرتا ہے | ||||||
| Ahmed Raza Khan | بیشک اللہ اس سے حیا نہیں فرماتا کہ مثال سمجھانے کو کیسی ہی چیز کا ذکر فرمائے مچھر ہو یا اس سے بڑھ کر تو وہ جو ایمان لائے، وہ تو جانتے ہیں کہ یہ ان کے رب کی طرف سے حق ہے رہے کافر، وہ کہتے ہیں ایسی کہاوت میں اللہ کا کیا مقصُود ہے، اللہ بہتیروں کو اس سے گمراہ کرتا ہے اور بہتیروں کو ہدایت فرماتا ہے اور اس سے انہیں گمراہ کرتا ہے جو بے حکم ہیں- | ||||||
| Shabbir Ahmed | بلاشبہ اللہ ہرگز نہیں شرماتا اس سے کہ بیان کرے تمثیل کسی قسم کی، مچھر کی یا اس سے بھی حقیر تر چیز کی۔ اب وہ لوگ جو ایمان والے ہیں، وہ تو جانتے ہیں کہ یہی حق ہے اُن کے رب کی طرف سے (آیا) ہے، لیکن وہ لوگ جو ماننے والے نہیں ہیں وہ کہتے ہیں کہ آخر کیا مُراد ہے اللہ کی ایسی تمثیلوں سے؟ گمراہی میں مبتلا کرتا ہے اللہ ایسی باتوں سے بہتوں کو اور راہِ راست دکھاتا ہے ان کے ذریعہ سے بہتوں کو۔ اور نہیں گمراہ کرتا اس سے مگر نافرمانوں کو۔ | ||||||
| Fateh Muhammad Jalandhary | الله اس بات سے عار نہیں کرتا کہ مچھر یا اس سے بڑھ کر کسی چیز (مثلاً مکھی مکڑی وغیرہ) کی مثال بیان فرمائے۔ جو مومن ہیں، وہ یقین کرتے ہیں وہ ان کے پروردگار کی طرف سے سچ ہے اور جو کافر ہیں وہ کہتے ہیں کہ اس مثال سے خدا کی مراد ہی کیا ہے۔ اس سے (خدا) بہتوں کو گمراہ کرتا ہے اور بہتوں کو ہدایت بخشتا ہے اور گمراہ بھی کرتا تو نافرمانوں ہی کو | ||||||
| Mehmood Al Hassan | بیشک اللہ شرماتا نہیں اس بات سے کہ بیان کرے کوئی مثال مچھر کی یا اس چیز کی جو اس سے بڑھکر ہے سو جو لوگ مومن ہیں وہ یقینًا جانتےہیں کہ یہ مثال ٹھیک ہے جو نازل ہوئی انکے رب کی طرف سے اور جو کافر ہیں سو کہتے ہیں کیا مطلب تھا اللہ کا اس مثال سے گمراہ کرت | ||||||

| Pickthal | Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a gnat.

| Arberry | God is not ashamed to strike a similitude even of a gnat, or aught above it.

Thereby He leads many astray, and thereby He guides many; and thereby He leads none astray save the ungodly | ||||||
| Shakir | Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or any thing above that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright by it! but He does not cause to err by it (any) except the transgressors, | ||||||
| Sarwar | God does not hesitate to set forth parables of anything even a gnat.

However, He only misleads the evil doers | ||||||
| H/K/Saheeh | Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord.

And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient, | ||||||
| Malik | Allah does not mind using the similitude of a gnat or an even more insignificant creature to teach a lesson.

He confounds none except the transgressors:[26] | ||||||
| Maulana Ali** | Surely Allah disdains not to set forth any parable -- a gnat or anything above that. Then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord; and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable? Many he leaves in error by it and many He leads aright by it. And He leaves in error by it only the transgressors, | ||||||

| George Sale | Moreover God will not be ashamed to propound in a parable a gnat, or even a more despicable thing; for they who believe will know it to be the truth from their Lord; but the unbelievers will say, What meaneth God by this parable? He will thereby mislead many, and will direct many thereby: but He will not mislead any thereby, except the transgressors, | ||||||
| JM Rodwell | Verily God is not ashamed to set forth as well the instance of a gnat as of any nobler object: for as to those who have believed, they know it to be the truth from their Lord; but as to the unbelievers, they will say, "What meaneth God by this comparison?" | ||||||
| Asad | Behold, God does not disdain to propound a parable of a gnat, or of something [even] less than that. Now, as for those who have attained to faith, they know that it is the truth from their Sustainer - whereas those who are bent on denying the truth say, "What could God mean by this parable?" In this way does He cause many a one to go astray, just as He guides many a one aright: but none does He cause thereby to go astray save the iniquitous, | ||||||
| Khalifa** | GOD does not shy away from citing any kind of allegory, from the tiny mosquito and greater. As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord.

| QXP Shabbir Ahemd** | Behold, Allah does not shy away from citing any kind of allegory, even of an insect. (Men and women of intellect know that abstract phenomena are frequently well defined and understood in that manner). Since the believers exercise reason, (they appreciate this beauty of the Divine Wisdom and) they know that it is the Truth from their Lord. On the other hand, those who have chosen to disbelieve, try to ridicule by saying, "What could Allah mean to teach by this similitude?" Thus His Law of guidance lets go astray many and shows the Way to many. (But note) He never lets go astray except those who drift away from Reason. | ||||||
| Farooq S. Khan | Indeed Allah is not ashamed to present an example of even a Mosquito or what is above it, then those who believed, they will know it is the truth from their sustainer and those who are infidels, they will say, what did Allah intend from this example? He misleads many with this and He guides many with this and he does not mislead except those who are disobedient. | ||||||
