Surah Shuara Ayat 207 Urdu translation

Surah Shuara Ayat 207 meaning in urdu

تو وہ سامانِ زیست جو ان کو ملا ہوا ہے اِن کے کس کام آئے گا؟

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(26:207) the provisions of life that they have got, will not avail them anything ? *128

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were meaning

*128) There is a subtle gap between this and the preceding sentence, which the reader himself can fill with a little thinking. They were asking for the torment to be hastened because they were not sure that it would ever come. They were confident that they would continue living a life of ease and indulgence as they had been living till then. On account of the same confidence they challenged the Holy Prophet, as if to say, "If you are a Messenger of Allah, and we deserve to be chastised by Allah because we have treated you as a liar, then you should hasten that torment on us, with which you threaten us." At this it is being said, "Well, even if they be right in their confidence, and the torment is not sent upon them immediately, and they are allowed a long respite to enjoy life as they expect, the question is: What will these few years of worldly pleasure and comfort avail them when the inevitable scourge from Allah overtakes them suddenly as it overtook the 'Ad and the Thamud, or the people of Lot and of Aiykah, or if they are visited by death which nobody can escape ?"
