Translation and commentary

Tafheem-ul-Quran

اِن کو بھی اور اُن کو بھی ، دونوں فریقوں کو ہم (دُنیا میں)سامانِ زیست دیے جارہے ہیں، یہ تیرے ربّ کا عطیہ ہے، اور تیرے ربّ کی عطا کو روکنے والا کوئی نہیں ہے۔1

Footnotes (the author's commentary)

  1. یعنی دنیا میں رزق اور سامان زندگی دنیا پرستوں کو بھی مل رہا ہے اور آخرت کے طلبگاروں کو بھی عطیہ اللہ ہی کا ہے، کسی اور کا نہیں ہے۔ نہ دنیا پرستوں میں یہ طاقت ہے کہ آخر ت کے طلبگاروں کو رزق سے محروم کردیں، اور نہ آخرت کے طلب گار ہی یہ قدرت رکھتے ہیں کہ دنیا پرستوں تک اللہ کی نعمت نہ پہنچنے دیں۔
