لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَآ أَمَانِىِّ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ۗ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوٓءًا يُجْزَ بِهِۦ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

EnglishSaheeh International
It [i.e., Paradise] is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allāh a protector or a helper.

(முஃமின்களே!) மறுமையில் நீங்கள் விரும்பிய படியோ, அல்லது வேதத்தையுடையவர்கள் விரும்பிய படியோ நடந்து விடுவதில்லை - எவன் தீமை செய்கிறானோ, அவன் அதற்குரிய தண்டனை வழங்கப்படுவான்;. இன்னும் அவன் (அங்கு) அல்லாஹ்வைத் தவிர வேறு யாரையும் (தனக்குப்) பாதுகாவலனாகவோ, துணை செய்பவனாகவோ காண மாட்டான்.

නුඹලාගේ ආශාවන් හෝ පුස්තක ලත් ජනයාගේ ආශාවන් අනුව නො වේ. කවරෙකු නපුරක් කරන්නේ ද ඒ අනුව ඔහුට ප්‍රතිඵල දෙනු ලැබේ. අල්ලාහ්ගෙන් තොරව කිසිදු භාරකරුවකු හෝ උදව්කරුවකු හෝ ඔහු නො ලබනු ඇත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
حقیقت حال نہ تو تمہاری آرزو کے مطابق ہے اور نہ اہل کتاب کی امیدوں پر موقوف ہے، جو برا کرے گا اس کی سزا پائے گا اور کسی کو نہ پائے گا جو اس کی حمایت ومدد، اللہ کے پاس کر سکے۔
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
これはあなたがたの妄想によるものではなく,また啓典の民の妄想でもない。誰でも悪事を行う者は,その報いを受けよう。アッラーの外には,愛護し援助する者も見いだせない。
ChineseMa Jian
(他的应许),不是借你们的妄想可以获得的,也不是借信奉天经者的妄想可以获得的。谁作恶,谁受恶报,除真主外,他不能为自己找到任何保护者,和任何援助者。

Tafsir of 4:123

Success is Only Achieved by Performing Righteous Deeds, not Wishful Thinking Qatadah said, "We were told that the Muslims and the People of the Scriptures mentioned their own virtues to each other. People of the Scriptures said, `Our Prophet came before your Prophet and our Book before your Book. Therefore, we should have more right to Allah than you have.' Muslims said, `Rather, we have more right to Allah than you, our Prophet is the Final Prophet and our Book supersedes all the Books before it.' Allah sent down, لَّيْسَ بِأَمَنِيِّكُمْ وَلا أَمَانِىِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَبِ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ (It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof), وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِيناً مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لله وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ (And who can be better in religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allah; and he is a Muhsin.) Allah then supported the argument of the Muslims against their opponents of the other religions." Similar statements were attributed to As-Suddi, Masruq, Ad-Dahhak and Abu Salih.…
