Surah Fussilat Ayat 25 meaning in urdu

ہم نے ان پر ایسے ساتھی مسلط کر دیے تھے جو انہیں آگے اور پیچھے ہر چیز خوشنما بنا کر دکھاتے تھے، آخر کار اُن پر بھی وہی فیصلہ عذاب چسپاں ہو کر رہا جو ان سے پہلے گزرے ہوئے جنوں اور انسانوں کے گروہوں پر چسپاں ہو چکا تھا، یقیناً وہ خسارے میں رہ جانے والے تھے

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

(41:25) We had assigned to them companions who embellished for them all that was before them and behind them. *29 Thus the same decree (of chastisement) which had overtaken the previous generations of jinn and human beings (also) became due against them. Surely they became the losers.

And We appointed for them companions who made attractive to them what meaning

*29) This is the permanent and eternal way of Allah that He dots not let the men with evil intentions and desires have good companions, but lets them have bad companions according to their own inclinations. Then, as they go on descending into the depths of vice, more and more evil and wicked men and devils go on joining them as their associates and advisers and companions. Some people's saying that so-and-so is himself a very good man but happens to have bad companions is, in fact, contrary to fact. The law of nature is that every man gets the same sort of friends as he himself is. If bad people happen to be associated with a good man, they cannot remain associated with him for long. Likewise, if good and noble men happen to be associated with evil intentioned and immoral men by chance, their association cannot last long. An evil man naturally attracts only evil men to himself and only evil men become attracted towards him just as filth attracts flits and flits are attracted by the filth. The meaning of: "They made every thing, in front of them and behind them, seem fair to them," is this: They assured them that their past had been glorious and their future would also be bright; they made them see everything attractive and pleasant on every side; they told them that those who criticised them were foolish, because they were not doing anything novel or strange: those who had made any progress in the world before them had been doing the same that they were doing; ahead of them there was no Hereafter at all in which they might have to be called to account for their deeds, but if at all the Hereafter did take place, as some foolish people assert it would, the God who was blessing them in the world, would bless them there too. Hell had not been made for them but for those whom God had deprived of His blessings here.
