Surah Luqman Ayat 21 meaning in urdu

اور جب ان سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ پیروی کرو اُس چیز کی جو اللہ نے نازل کی ہے تو کہتے ہیں کہ ہم تو اُس چیز کی پیروی کریں گے جس پر ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو پایا ہے کیا یہ انہی کی پیروی کریں گے خواہ شیطان اُن کو بھڑکتی ہوئی آگ ہی کی طرف کیوں نہ بلاتا رہا ہو؟

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

(31:21) When they are told: 'Follow what Allah has revealed,' they say: 'We will rather follow that which we have found our forefathers following.' (Will they follow that) even though Satan might invite them to the chastisement of the Blazing Fire? *39

And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," meaning

*39) That is, It is not at aII necessary that the forefathers of every person and every family and nation should have been on the right path. The mere argument that a particular way of life had been bequeathed by the elders cannot be a proof of its being right also. No sane person can commit the folly that he should blindly go on following the way of his forefathers even if they were not rightly guided, and should never bother to find out where the way is leading him."
