وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍۭ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ ٱلظَّمْـَٔانُ مَآءً حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَهُۥ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْـًٔا وَوَجَدَ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ فَوَفَّىٰهُ حِسَابَهُۥ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allāh before him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allāh is swift in account.

அன்றியும், எவர்கள் காஃபிராக இருக்கிறார்களோ, அவர்களுடைய செயல்கள் பாலைவனத்தில் (தோற்றமளிக்கும்) கானல் நீரைப் போலாகும்; தாகித்தவன் அதைத் தண்ணீரென்றே எண்ணுகிறான் - (எது வரையெனில்) அதற்கு (அருகில்) அவன் வரும் பொழுது ஒரு பொருளையும் (அங்கே) காணமாட்டானே (அது வரை) ஆனால், அங்கு அவன் அல்லாஹ் (அவனுக்கு விதித்திருக்கும் முடி)வை(யே) காண்கின்றான்; (அதன் படி அல்லாஹ்) அவன் கணக்கைத் தீர்க்கிறான்; மேலும், அல்லாஹ் கணக்குத் தீர்ப்பதில் துரிதமானவன்.

දේවත්වය ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළවුන් වනාහි ඔවුන්ගේ ක්‍රියාවන් කාන්තාරයේ ඇති මිරිඟුවකට සමාන ය. පිපාසිතයා එය ජලය යැයි සිතයි. එහෙත් ඔහු එහි පැමිණි විට ඔහු එය කිසිවක් ලෙස නො දකිනු ඇත. තවද ඔහු එහි අල්ලාහ්ව දකිනු ඇත. ඔහුගේ විනිශ්චය අල්ලාහ් සම්පූර්ණ කළේ ය. තවද අල්ලාහ් විනිශ්චය කිරීමෙහි ඉතා වේගවත් ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور کافروں کے اعمال مثل اس چمکتی ہوئی ریت کے ہیں جو چٹیل میدان میں ہو جسے پیاسا شخص دور سے پانی سمجھتا ہے لیکن جب اس کے پاس پہنچتا ہے تو اسے کچھ بھی نہیں پاتا، ہاں اللہ کو اپنے پاس پاتا ہے جو اس کا حساب پورا پورا چکا دیتا ہے ۔ اللہ بہت جلد حساب کردینے واﻻ ہے.

しかし信仰のない者は,そのすることなすこと,砂漠の中の蜃気楼のようなもので,渇き切った者には水だと思われる。だがやってくれば何も見出せない。そこではアッラーの御前であり,かれの勘定が払われることを知るであろう。アッラーは清算に迅速であられる。
ChineseMa Jian
不信道者的善功恰如沙漠里的蜃景,口渴者以为那里有水, 等到他来到有蜃景的地方时,没有发现什么,却发现真主在那里。 真主就把他的帐目完全交给他,真主是清算神速的。

Tafsir of 24:39

Two Examples of two kinds of Disbelievers These are two examples which Allah sets forth of two kinds of disbelievers. Similarly He sets forth two parables of the hypocrites at the beginning of Surat Al-Baqarah: one involving fire and the other involving water. Similarly, in Surat Ar-Ra`d He gives two parables of the guidance and knowledge that are instilled in the heart, again involving fire and water; we have discussed each of them in the appropriate place and there is no need to repeat it here, praise be to Allah. The first of these two examples is that of the disbelievers who call others to their disbelief, thinking that they have good actions and beliefs, when this is not in fact the case. Their likeness is that of a mirage which is seen in a desert plain, looking from a distance as if it is a deep sea. The word Qi`ah refers to a vast, flat, level area of land in which the mirage may appear. There are different kinds of mirage, one which appears after midday, and another which appears in the morning and looks like water between heaven and earth.…
