Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allāh before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

அல்லது, "இணைவைத்தவர்கள் எல்லாம் எங்களுக்கு முன் இருந்த எங்கள் மூதாதையர்களே நாங்களோ அவர்களுக்குப் பின் வந்த (அவர்களுடைய) சந்ததிகள் - அந்த வழிகெட்டோரின் செயலுக்காக நீ எங்களை அழித்து விடலாமா?" என்று கூறாதிருக்கவுமே! (இதனை நினைவூட்டுகிறோம் என்று நபியே! நீர் கூறுவீராக.)

නැතහොත් නියත වශයෙන් ම ආදේශ කළ අය වනුයේ මීට පෙර සිටි අපගේ මුතුන් මිත්තන් ය. තවද අපි ඔවුන්ගෙන් පසු වූ පරපුරක් වෙමු. අවැඩ කරන්නෝ සිදු කළ දෑ හේතුවෙන් නුඹ අපව විනාශ කරන්නෙහි දැ? යි නුඹලා නො පවසනු පිණිස ය.

یا یوں کہو کہ پہلے پہلے شرک تو ہمارے بڑوں نے کیا اور ہم ان کے بعد ان کی نسل میں ہوئے، سو کیا ان غلط راه والوں کے فعل پر تو ہم کو ہلاکت میں ڈال دے گا؟

或者说:只有我们的祖先从前曾以物配主,我们不过是他们的后裔;难道你要因荒诞者的行为而毁灭我们吗?

Tafsir of 7:173

(30:30) And it is recorded in the Two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, «كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُمَجِّسَانِهِ كَمَا تُولَدُ بَهِيمَةً جَمْعَاءَ هَلْ تُحِسُّونَ فِيهَا مِنْ جَدْعَاء» (Every child is born upon the Fitrah; it is only his parents who turn him into a Jew, a Christian or a Zoroastrian. Just as animals are born having full bodies, do you see any of them having a cut-off nose (when they are born)).…
