The Noble Quran

English

"And my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if Allâh’s Will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord! and to Him you shall return."

Muhammad Asad

English

And, O my people, no benefit do I ask of you for this [message]: my reward rests with none but God. And I shall not repulse [any of] those who have attained to faith. Verily, they [know that they] are destined to meet their Sustainer, whereas in you I see people without any awareness [of right and wrong]!

Fatah Muhammad Jalandhari

Urdu

اور اگر میں یہ چاہوں کہ تمہاری خیرخواہی کروں اور خدا یہ چاہے وہ تمہیں گمراہ کرے تو میری خیرخواہی تم کو کچھ فائدہ نہیں دے سکتی۔ وہی تمہارا پروردگار ہے اور تمہیں اس کی طرف لوٹ کر جانا ہے

{ وَلَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِي إِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ إِنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُغْوِيَكُمْ } أي: إن إرادة الله غالبة، فإنه إذا أراد أن يغويكم، لردكم الحق، فلو حرصت غاية مجهودي، ونصحت لكم أتم النصح - وهو قد فعل عليه السلام - فليس ذلك بنافع لكم شيئا، { هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ } يفعل بكم ما يشاء، ويحكم فيكم بما يريد { وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ } فيجازيكم بأعمالكم.

ولا ينفعكم نصحي واجتهادي في دعوتكم للإيمان، إن كان الله يريد أن يضلَّكم ويهلككم، هو سبحانه مالككم، وإليه تُرجَعون في الآخرة للحساب والجزاء.

"ولا ينفعكم نصحي إن أردت أن أنصح لكم إن كان الله يريد أن يغويكم" أي أي شيء يجدي عليكم إبلاغي لكم وإنذاري إياكم ونصحي "إن كان الله يريد أن يغويكم" أي إغواءكم ودماركم "هو ربكم وإليه ترجعون" أي هو مالك أزمة الأمور المتصرف الحاكم العادل الذي لا يجور له الخلق وله الأمر وهو المبدئ المعيد مالك الدنيا والآخرة.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Ismail ibn KathirEnglish

The People's Request of Nuh to bring the Torment and His Response to Them Allah, the Exalted, informs that the people of Nuh sought to hasten Allah's vengeance, torment, anger and the trial (His punishment). This is based on their saying, قَالُواْ ينُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا (They said: "O Nuh! You have disputed with us and much have you prolonged the dispute with us...") They meant by this, "You (Nuh) have argued with us long enough, and we are still not going to follow you." فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ (now bring upon us what you threaten us with,) What he (Nuh) promised is referring to the vengeance and torment (from Allah). They were actually saying, "Supplicate against us however you wish, and let whatever you have supplicated come to us." إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّـدِقِينَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ ("...if you are of the truthful." (In reply to this,) He said: "Only Allah will bring it (the punishment) on you, if He wills, and then you will escape not.)11:32-33 This means, `It is only Allah Who can punish you and hasten your punishment for you. He is the One from Whom nothing escapes. ' وَلاَ يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِى إِنْ أَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ (And my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if Allah's will is to keep you astray.) This means: something that could be useful to you (in acceptance) of my preaching to you, warning you and advising you. إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ (if Allah's will is to keep you astray.) This means: your deception and your ultimate destruction. هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ (He is your Lord! and to Him you shall return.) He is the Owner of the finality of all matters. He is the Controller, the Judge, the Most Just and He does not do any injustice. Unto Him belongs the creation and the command. He is the Originator and the Repeater (of the creation). He is the Owner of this life and the Hereafter.

Hafiz Ibn KathirUrdu

قوم نوح کی عجلت پسندی کی حماقت قوم نوح کی عجلت بیان ہو رہی ہے کہ عذاب مانگ بیٹھے۔ کہنے لگے بس حجتیں تو ہم نے بہت سی سن لیں۔ آخری فیصلہ ہمارا یہ ہے کہ ہم تو تیری تابعداری نہیں کرنے کے اب اگر تو سچا ہے تو دعا کر کے ہم پر عذاب لے آؤ۔ آپ نے جواب دیا کہ یہ بھی میرے بس کی بات نہیں اللہ کے ہاتھ ہے۔ اسے کوئی عاجز کرنے والا نہیں اگر اللہ کا ارادہ ہی تمہاری گمراہی اور بربادی کا ہے تو پھر واقعی میری نصیحت بےسود ہے۔ سب کا مالک اللہ ہی ہے تمام کاموں کی تکمیل اسی کے ہاتھ ہے۔ متصرف، حاکم، عادل، غیر ظالم، فیصلوں کے امر کا مالک، ابتداء پیدا کرنے والا، پھر لوٹانے والا، دنیا و آخرت کا تنہا مالک وہی ہے۔ ساری مخلوق کو اسی کی طرف لوٹنا ہے۔
