1. [43:23] | Wakathalika ma arsalnamin qablika fee qaryatin min natheerin illa qalamutrafooha inna wajadna abaanaAAala ommatin wa-inna AAala atharihimmuqtadoona
| وكذلك ما أرسلنا من قبلك في قرية من نذير إلا قال مترفوها إنا وجدنا آباءنا على أمة وإنا على آثارهم مقتدون وَكَذَلِكَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ |

Tahir ul Qadri | اور اسی طرح ہم نے کسی بستی میں آپ سے پہلے کوئی ڈر سنانے والا نہیں بھیجا مگر وہاں کے وڈیروں اور خوشحال لوگوں نے کہا: بیشک ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایک طریقہ و مذہب پر پایا اور ہم یقیناً انہی کے نقوشِ قدم کی اقتداء کرنے والے ہیں |
Yousuf Ali | Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps."

Ahmed Ali | اور اسی طرح ہم نے آپ سے پہلے کسی گاؤں میں بھی کوئی ڈرانے والا بھیجا تو وہاں کے دولت مندوں نے (یہی) کہا کہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایک طریقہ پر پایا اور ہم انہیں کے پیرو ہیں |
Ahmed Raza Khan | اور ایسے ہی ہم نے تم سے پہلے جب کسی شہر میں ڈر سنانے والا بھیجا وہاں کے آسُودوں (امیروں) نے یہی کہا کہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایک دین پر پایا اور ہم ان کی لکیر کے پیچھے ہیں |
Shabbir Ahmed | اور اسی طرح نہیں بھیجا ہم نے تم سے پہلے کسی بستی میں کوئی متنبہ کرنے والا مگر کہا اس کے کھاتے پیتے لوگوں نے، بے شک پایا ہے ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایک طریقہ پر اور ہم انہیں کے نقشِ قدم کی پیروی کررہے ہیں۔ |
Fateh Muhammad Jalandhary | اور اسی طرح ہم نے تم سے پہلے کسی بستی میں کوئی ہدایت کرنے والا نہیں بھیجا مگر وہاں کے خوشحال لوگوں نے کہا کہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایک راہ پر پایا اور ہم قدم بقدم ان ہی کے پیچھے چلتے ہیں |
Mehmood Al Hassan | اور اسی طرح جس کسی کو بھیجا ہم نے تجھ سے پہلے ڈر سنانے والا کسی گاؤں میں سو کہنے لگے وہاں کے خوشحال لوگ ہم نے تو پایا اپنے باپ دادوں کو ایک راہ پراور ہم اُنہی کے قدموں پر چلتے ہیں |
Abul Ala Maududi | اِسی طرح تم سے پہلے جس بستی میں بھی ہم نے کوئی نذیر بھیجا، اُس کے کھاتے پیتے لوگوں نے یہی کہا کہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایک طریقے پر پایا ہے اور ہم اُنہی کے نقش قدم کی پیروی کر رہے ہیں |

Literal | And as/like that We did not send from before you in a village/urban city from a warner/giver of notice except its luxuriated ungrateful and arrogant said: "We (E), we found our fathers on a constitution (set example) , and we (E), on their tracks , we are following/imitating (their) example." |
Yusuf Ali | Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps." |
Pickthal | And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints. |
Arberry | Even so We sent never before thee any warner into any city, except that its men who lived at ease said, 'We indeed found our fathers upon a community, and we are following upon their traces.' |
Shakir | And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a course, and surely we are followers of their footsteps. |
Sarwar | In the same way, whenever We had sent a Messenger before you to warn a town, the rich ones therein said, "We found our fathers following a certain belief and we follow in their footsteps. |
H/K/Saheeh | And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following." |
Malik | Even so, whenever We sent a Warner before you to forewarn a nation, its affluent people said: "We found our forefathers practicing this faith and surely we are going to follow their footsteps."[23] |
Maulana Ali** | And thus, We sent not before thee a warner in a town, but its wealthy ones said: Surely we found our fathers following a religion, and we follow their footsteps. |
Free Minds | And similarly, We did not send a warner to a town, except its carefree ones said: "We found our fathers following a certain way, and we are being guided in their footsteps." |
Qaribullah | As such, We never sent a warner before you to a village, except those living in luxury said: 'We found our fathers following a creed, and by following in their footsteps we are guided. ' |
George Sale | Thus We sent no preacher, before thee, unto any city, but the inhabitants thereof who lived in affluence, said, verily we found our fathers practising a religion: And we tread in their footsteps. |
JM Rodwell | And thus never before thy time did we send a warner to any city but its wealthy ones said: "Verily we found our fathers with a religion, and in their tracks we tread." |
Asad | And thus it is: whenever We sent, before thy time, a warner to any community, those of its people who had lost themselves entirely in the pursuit of pleasures would always say, [For this rendering of the term mutraf (derived from the verb tarafa), see note on 11:116.] "Behold, we found our forefathers agreed on what to believe - and, verily, it is but in their footsteps that we follow!" [Commenting on this passage, Razi says: "Had there been in the Quran nothing but these verses, they would have sufficed to show the falsity of the principle postulating [a Muslim's] blind, unquestioning adoption of [another person's] religious opinions (ibtal al-qawl bit-taqlid): for, God has made it clear [in these verses] that those deniers of the truth had not arrived at their convictions by way of reason, and neither on the clear authority of a revealed text, but solely by blindly adopting the opinions of their forebears and predecessors; and all this God has mentioned in terms of blame and sharp disparagement."] |
Khalifa** | Invariably, when we sent a warner to any community, the leaders of that community would say, "We found our parents following certain practices, and we will continue in their footsteps." |
Hilali/Khan** | And similarly, We sent not a warner before you (O Muhammad SAW) to any town (people) but the luxurious ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we will indeed follow their footsteps." |
QXP Shabbir Ahemd** | Thus it is. Whenever We sent, before you, a Warner to a community, its luxurious ones said, "Behold, We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we are following their footprints." |
