أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُۥ ظَٰهِرَةًۭ وَبَاطِنَةًۭ ۗ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۢ وَلَا هُدًۭى وَلَا كِتَٰبٍۢ مُّنِيرٍۢ

سُورَةُ لُقۡمَانَ
English — Sahih International
Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent? But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book [from Him].
اردو — مودودی
کیا تم لوگ نہیں دیکھتے کہ اللہ نے زمین اور آسمانوں کی ساری چیزیں تمہارے لیے مسخر کر رکھی ہیں اور اپنی کھلی اور چھپی نعمتیں تم پر تمام کر دی ہیں؟ اِس پر حال یہ ہے کہ انسانوں میں سے کچھ لوگ ہیں جو اللہ کے بارے میں جھگڑتے ہیں بغیر اس کے کہ ان کے پاس کوئی عِلم ہو، یا ہدایت، یا کوئی روشنی دکھانے والی کتاب
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Tidakkah kamu perhatikan sesungguhnya Allah telah menundukkan untuk (kepentingan)mu apa yang di langit dan apa yang di bumi dan menyempurnakan untukmu nikmat-Nya lahir dan batin. Dan di antara manusia ada yang membantah tentang (keesaan) Allah tanpa ilmu pengetahuan atau petunjuk dan tanpa Kitab yang memberi penerangan.
Ibn Kathir
Reminder of Blessings Here
Allah reminds His creation of the blessings He bestows upon them in this world and the Hereafter. In the heavens He has subjugated for them the stars which give them light during the night and during the day, and He has created clouds, rain, snow and hail, and made the heavens a canopy which covers and protects them. On earth He has created for them stability and rivers, trees, crops and fruits; He has completed and perfected His graces upon them, apparent and hidden, by sending Messengers, revealing Books and removing doubts and excuses. Yet despite all this, not all the people believe, and indeed there are those who dispute concerning Allah, that is, His Tawhid, and His sending the Messengers. Their dispute is without knowledge and they have no sound evidence or valid inherited Book. Allah says:
ومِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَـدِلُ فِى اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلاَ هُدًى وَلاَ كِتَـبٍ مُّنِيرٍ
(And among men is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allah).) (22:8) meaning clear and unambiguous.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ
(And when it is said to them) means, to these people who dispute about the Oneness of Allah.
اتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ
("Follow that which Allah has sent down,") means, the pure Divine Laws that He has sent down to His Messengers,
قَالُواْ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَا
(they say: "Nay, we shall follow that which we found our fathers (following).") means, they have no other proof except the fact that they are following their forefathers. Allah says:
أَوَلَوْ كَانَ ءَابَاؤُهُمْ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يَهْتَدُونَ
(Even though their fathers did not understand anything nor were they guided) (2:170) meaning, `what do you think, you who take the forefathers' deeds as proof, that they were misguided and you are following in their footsteps' Allah says:
أَوَلَوْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَـنُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ
(Even if Shaytan invites them to the torment of the Fire)
المُيَسَّر
ألم تروا- أيها الناس- أن الله ذلَّل لكم ما في السموات من الشمس والقمر والسحاب وغير ذلك، وما في الأرض من الدوابِّ والشجر والماء، وغير ذلك مما لا يحصى، وعمَّكم بنعمه الظاهرة على الأبدان والجوارح، والباطنة في العقول والقلوب، وما ادَّخره لكم مما لا تعلمونه؟ ومن الناس مَن يجادل في توحيد الله وإخلاص العبادة له بغير حجة ولا بيان، ولا كتاب مبين يبيِّن حقيقة دعواه.
