Wakathalika awhaynailayka roohan min amrina ma kunta tadree maalkitabu wala al-eemanu walakinjaAAalnahu nooran nahdee bihi man nashao min AAibadinawa-innaka latahdee ila siratin mustaqeemin وكذلك أوحينا إليك روحا من أمرنا ما كنت تدري ما الكتاب ولا الإيمان ولكن جعلناه نورا نهدي به من نشاء من عبادنا وإنك لتهدي إلى صراط مستقيم
وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْإِيْمَانُ وَلَكِن جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَّهْدِي بِهِ مَنْ نَّشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

  سو اسی طرح ہم نے آپ کی طرف اپنے حکم سے روحِ (قلوب و ارواح) کی وحی فرمائی (جو قرآن ہے)، اور آپ (وحی سے قبل اپنی ذاتی درایت و فکر سے) نہ یہ جانتے تھے کہ کتاب کیا ہے اور نہ ایمان (کے شرعی احکام کی تفصیلات کو ہی جانتے تھے جو بعد میں نازل اور مقرر ہوئیں)(1) مگر ہم نے اسے نور بنا دیا۔ ہم اِس (نور) کے ذریعہ اپنے بندوں میں سے جسے چاہتے ہیں ہدایت سے نوازتے ہیں، اور بیشک آپ ہی صراطِ مستقیم کی طرف ہدایت عطا فرماتے ہیں(2)

Yousuf AliAnd thus have We, by Our Command, sent inspiration to thee: thou knewest not (before) what was Revelation, and what was Faith; but We have made the (Qur'an) a Light, wherewith We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight Way,-

AsadAnd thus, too, [I.e., in all the three ways mentioned in the preceding verse.] [O Muhammad,] have We revealed unto thee a life-giving message, [coming] at Our behest. [The term ruh (lit., "spirit" or "soul") has in the Quran often the meaning of "divine inspiration" (see note on 16:2).

And, verily, (O Prophet) you shall certainly show them the Straight Path.
