Wama manaAAa alnnasa anyu/minoo ith jaahumu alhuda wayastaghfiroorabbahum illa an ta/tiyahum sunnatu al-awwaleena awya/tiyahumu alAAathabu qubulan وما منع الناس أن يؤمنوا إذ جاءهم الهدى ويستغفروا ربهم إلا أن تأتيهم سنة الأولين أو يأتيهم العذاب قبلا
وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَى وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلاَّ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلاً
Tahir ul Qadri

  اور لوگوں کو جبکہ ان کے پاس ہدایت آچکی تھی کسی نے (اس بات سے) منع نہیں کیا تھا کہ وہ ایمان لائیں اور اپنے رب سے مغفرت طلب کریں سوائے اس (انتظار) کے کہ انہیں اگلے لوگوں کا طریقہ (ہلاکت) پیش آئے یا عذاب ان کے سامنے آجائے

Yousuf AliAnd what is there to keep back men from believing, now that Guidance has come to them, nor from praying for forgiveness from their Lord, but that (they ask that) the ways of the ancients be repeated with them, or the Wrath be brought to them face to face?

Ahmed Raza Khanاور آدمیوں کو کسی چیز نے اس سے روکا کہ ایمان لاتے جب ہدایت ان کے پاس آئی اور اپنے رب سے معافی مانگتے مگر یہ کہ ان پر اگلوں کا دستور آئے یا ان پر قسم قسم کا عذاب آئے،
Shabbir Ahmed اور نہیں منع کیا انسانوں کو ایمان لانے سے جب آئی اُن کے پاس ہدایت اور (اس سے کہ) معافی مانگتے وہ اپنے رب سے مگر اس (خواہش) نے کہ آئے اُن پر وہی کچھ جو آ چکا ہے پہلوں پر یا یہ کہ دیکھ لیں وہ آتے ہُوئے عذاب کو سامنے سے۔
Fateh Muhammad Jalandharyاور لوگوں کے پاس جب ہدایت آگئی تو ان کو کس چیز نے منع کیا کہ ایمان لائیں۔ اور اپنے پروردگار سے بخشش مانگیں۔ بجز اس کے کہ (اس بات کے منتظر ہوں کہ) انہیں بھی پہلوں کا سا معاملہ پیش آئے یا ان پر عذاب سامنے آموجود ہو
Mehmood Al Hassanاور لوگوں کو جو روکا اس بات سے کہ یقین لے آئیں جب پہنچی انکو ہدایت اور گناہ بخشوائیں اپنے رب سے سو اسی انتظار نے کہ پہنچے ان پر رسم پہلوں کی یا آ کھڑا ہو ان پر عذاب سامنے کا
Abul Ala Maududiاُن کے سامنے جب ہدایت آئی تو اسے ماننے اور اپنے رب کے حضور معافی چاہنے سے آخر اُن کوکس چیز نے روک دیا؟ اِس کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں کہ وہ منتظر ہیں کہ اُن کے ساتھ بھی وہی کچھ ہو جو پچھلی قوموں کے ساتھ ہو چکا ہے، یا یہ کہ وہ عذاب کو سامنے آتے دیکھ لیں!
