Popote mlipo mauti yatakufikieni, na hata mkiwa katika ngome zilizo na nguvu. (4:78)

﴿أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يُدْرِككُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِي بُرُوجٍ مُّشَيَّدَةٍ ۗ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ يَقُولُوا هَٰذِهِ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَقُولُوا هَٰذِهِ مِنْ عِندِكَ ۚ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَالِ هَٰؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ حَدِيثًا﴾
[ النساء: 78]

Popote mlipo mauti yatakufikieni, na hata mkiwa katika ngome zilizo na nguvu. Na likiwafikilia jema wanasema: Hili limetoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Na likiwafikilia ovu wanasema: Hili limetoka kwako wewe. Sema: Yote yanatokana na Mwenyezi Mungu. Basi wana nini watu hawa hata hawakaribii kufahamu maneno?

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allah "; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allah." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Popote mlipo mauti yatakufikieni, na hata mkiwa katika ngome zilizo na nguvu. Na likiwafikilia jema wanasema: Hili limetoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Na likiwafikilia ovu wanasema: Hili limetoka kwako wewe. Sema: Yote yanatokana na Mwenyezi Mungu. Basi wana nini watu hawa hata hawakaribii kufahamu maneno?

Hakika hayo mauti mnayo yakimbia yatakukuteni popote pale mlipo, na hata mkikaa ndani ya ngome zilizo jengwa madhubuti imara. Na hao wenye imani legevu na dhaifu husema pindi wapatapo ushindi na ngawira: Haya yametoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Na pindi wapatapo lawama au kushindwa wao hukwambia wewe: Ewe Muhammad! Haya yanatokana na wewe. Haya si lolote ila kukufanya kuwa wewe ni mkorofi, na kukutupia lawama wewe badala ya nafsi zao. Basi waambie: Kila linalo kupateni, mnalo lipenda na mnalo lichukia, linatokana na kudra ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na linatokana na majaribio yake na mitihani yake. Wana nini watu hawa madhaifu hata hawajakaribia kujua usawa wa maneno wanayo ambiwa?
