Translation and commentary
Tafheem-ul-Quran
خدا کی قسم، اے محمدؐ، تم سے پہلے بھی بہت سی قوموں میں ہم رسول بھیج چکے ہیں (اور پہلے بھی یہی ہوتا رہا ہے کہ) شیطان نے اُن کے برے کرتوت اُنہیں خوشنما بنا کر دکھائے (اور رسولوں کی بات انہوں نے مان کر نہ دی) وہی شیطان آج اِن لوگوں کا بھی سرپرست بنا ہوا ہے اور یہ دردناک سزا کے مستحق بن رہے ہیں
