Surah Araf Ayat 169 meaning in Hindi

फिर उनके पीछ ऐसे अयोग्य लोगों ने उनकी जगह ली, जो किताब के उत्ताराधिकारी होकर इसी तुच्छ संसार का सामान समेटते है और कहते है, "हमें अवश्य क्षमा कर दिया जाएगा।" और यदि इस जैसा और सामान भी उनके पास आ जाए तो वे उसे भी ले लेंगे। क्या उनसे किताब का यह वचन नहीं लिया गया था कि वे अल्लाह पर थोपकर हक़ के सिवा कोई और बात न कहें। और जो उसमें है उसे वे स्वयं पढ़ भी चुके है। और आख़िरत का घर तो उन लोगों के लिए उत्तम है, जो डर रखते है। तो क्या तुम बुद्धि से काम नहीं लेते?

Quran Urdu translation

پھر ان کے بعد ناخلف ان کے قائم مقام ہوئے جو کتاب کے وارث بنے۔ یہ (بےتامل) اس دنیائے دنی کا مال ومتاع لے لیتے ہیں اور کہتے ہیں کہ ہم بخش دیئے جائیں گے۔ اور (لوگ ایسوں پر طعن کرتے ہیں) اگر ان کے سامنے بھی ویسا ہی مال آجاتا ہے تو وہ بھی اسے لے لیتے ہیں۔ کیا ان سے کتاب کی نسبت عہد نہیں لیا گیا کہ خدا پر سچ کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں کہیں گے۔ اور جو کچھ اس (کتاب) میں ہے اس کو انہوں نے پڑھ بھی لیا ہے۔ اور آخرت کا گھر پرہیزگاروں کے لیے بہتر ہے کیا تم سمجھتے نہیں

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

(7:169) Then others succeeded them who inherited the scriptures, and yet kept themselves occupied in acquiring the goods of this world and kept saying: 'We shall be forgiven.' And when there comes to them an opportunity for acquiring more of those goods, they seize it. *129 Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they would not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? And they have read what is in the Book *130 and know that the abode of the Hereafter is better for the God-fearing. *131 Do you not understand?

And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the meaning

*129). The Jews knowingly commit sins in the belief that being God's chosen people they will necessarily be pardoned and spared God's punishment. As a result of this misconception, they neither repent nor refrain from committing sins. How unfortunate the Jews are! They received the Scriptures which could have made them leaders of all mankind. But they were so petty-minded that they aspired to nothing higher than paltry worldly benefits. Thus even though they had the potential of becoming the upholders of justice and righteousness across the world they ended up merely as worshippers of this world.
*130). The people of Israel know well that the Torah does not unconditionally assure them salvation. They have never been promised by God or any of His Prophets that they will attain deliverance no matter what they do. Therefore they have absolutely no right to ascribe to God something which He never told them. What makes their crime even worse is that their claim to unconditional salvation constitutes a sacrilege of their covenant with God whereby they pledged never to attribute any false statement to God.
*131). The above verse has two renderings. It may be either translated as above or it may be rendered thus: 'For the righteous, only the home in the Hereafter is the best.' Going by the first rendering, the verse means that salvation is not the exclusive privilege of a particular person or a family. It is absolutely out of the question that one will attain deliverance even if one commits sins, simply on account of being a Jew. A little reflection will help one realize that only the righteous and God-fearing will be rewarded in the Hereafter. In the light of the second rendering, only the unrighteous prefer worldly, gains to reward in the Hereafter. As for the righteous, they are conscious of the importance of the Hereafter and hence forego worldly benefits for the sake of reward in the Next World.
