هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً ۖ لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۭ بَيِّنٍ ۖ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear evidence? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie?"

எங்கள் சமூகத்தாராகிய அவர்கள் அவனையன்றி வேறு நாயனை ஏற்றுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்; அவர்கள் அவற்றின் மீது தெளிவான அத்தாட்சியைக் கொண்டு வரவேண்டாமா? ஆகவே அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது பொய்யாக இட்டுக் கட்டுபவனை விட அநியாயக்காரன் யார்? (என்றும் கூறினார்கள்).

මොවුහු අපගේ ජනයා වෙති. ඔහු(අල්ලාහ්) හැර (වෙනත්) දෙවියන් මොවුහු ගත්තෝය. (එසේනම්) ඒවා සම්බන්ධයෙන් පැහැදිලි සාධකයක් මොවුන් ගෙන ආ යුතු නොවේ ද? අල්ලාහ් කෙරෙහි බොරු ගොතන්නාට වඩා මහා අපරාධකරු කවරෙක් ද?
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
یہ ہے ہماری قوم جس نے اس کے سوا اور معبود بنا رکھے ہیں۔ ان کے الہ ہونے کی یہ کوئی صاف دلیل کیوں پیش نہیں کرتے اللہ پر جھوٹ افترا باندھنے والے سے زیاده ﻇالم کون ہے؟
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
これらわが同族の人びとは,かれを差し置いて神々を立てた。どうしてそれら(神々)は,かれらに対して一つの明白な権威も齎さないのであろうか。アッラーに就いて偽りを捏造するよりも,甚だしい不義を犯す者があろうか。」
ChineseMa Jian
我们的这些同族,舍他而崇拜别的许多神明,他们怎么不用一个明证来证实那些神明是应受崇拜的呢?假借真主的名义而造谣的人,有谁比他们还不义呢?

Tafsir of 18:15

Their Belief in Allah and their Retreat from their People From here Allah begins to explain the story in detail. He states that they were boys or young men, and that they were more accepting of the truth and more guided than the elders who had become stubbornly set in their ways and clung to the religion of falsehood. For the same reason, most of those who responded to Allah and His Messenger were young people. As for the elders of Quraysh, most of them kept to their religion and only a few of them became Muslims. So Allah tells us that the people of the cave were young men. Mujahid said, "I was informed that some of them wore some kind of earrings, then Allah guided them and inspired them to fear Him, so they recognized His Oneness, and bore witness that there is no god besides Him." وَزِدْنَهُمْ هُدًى (and We increased them in guidance.)
