أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَـٰٓؤُا۟ شَرَعُوا۟ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَنۢ بِهِ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلْفَصْلِ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

EnglishSaheeh International
Or have they partners [i.e., other deities] who have ordained for them a religion to which Allāh has not consented? But if not for the decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.

அல்லது அல்லாஹ் அனுமதிக்காததை மார்க்கமாக்கி வைக்கக்கூடிய இணை(த் தெய்வங்)கள் அவர்களுக்கு இருக்கின்றனவா? மேலும், (மறுமையில் விசாரணைக்குப் பிறகு தக்க கூலி கொடுக்கப்படும் என்னும் இறைவனின்) தீர்ப்புப் பற்றிய வாக்கு இல்லாதிருப்பின் (இதுவரை) அவர்களுக்கிடையில் தீர்ப்பளிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் - நிச்சயமாக அநியாயக்காரர்களுக்கு நோவினை செய்யும் வேதனை உண்டு.

අල්ලාහ් කවර දෙයක් සම්බන්ධයෙන් අනුමැතිය නො දුන්නේ ද එවන් දෙයක් ඔවුන් සඳහා දහම්ගත කළ හවුල්කරුවෝ ඔවුනට වෙත් ද? තවද පැහැදිලි ප්‍රකාශය නො වී නම් ඔවුන් අතර තීන්දු කරනු ලබන්නට තිබුණි. තවද නියත වශයෙන් ම අපරාධකරුවන් වන ඔවුනට වේදනීය දඬුවමක් ඇත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
کیا ان لوگوں نے ایسے (اللہ کے) شریک (مقرر کر رکھے) ہیں جنہوں نے ایسے احکام دین مقرر کر دیئے ہیں جو اللہ کے فرمائے ہوئے نہیں ہیں ۔ اگر فیصلے کے دن کا وعده نہ ہوتا تو (ابھی ہی) ان میں فیصلہ کردیا جاتا۔ یقیناً (ان) ﻇالموں کے لیے ہی دردناک عذاب ہے.

それともかれらに(主の)同位者があって,アッラーが御許しになられない宗教をかれらのために立てたのか。決定的(猶予の)御言葉がなかったならば,かれらのことはとっくに裁かれていた。悪い行いの者は本当に痛ましい懲罰を受けるであろう。
ChineseMa Jian
难道他们有许多配主,曾为他们制定真主所未许可的宗教吗?假若没有那判辞,他们必受判决,不义的人们,必受痛苦的刑罚。

Tafsir of 42:21

The Provision of Allah in this World and the Hereafter Here Allah speaks of His kindness towards His creation, in that He provides for every last one of them and does not forget anyone. When it comes to His provision, the righteous and the sinner are alike. Allah says: وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي الاٌّرْضِ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِى كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ (And no moving creature is there on the earth but its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit. All is in a Clear Book.) (11:6) And there are many similar Ayat. يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ (He gives provisions to whom He wills.) means, He gives generously to whomsoever He wills. وَهُوَ الْقَوِىُّ الْعَزِيزُ (And He is the All-Strong, the Almighty.) means, there is nothing that can overpower Him. Then Allah says: مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الاٌّخِرَةِ (Whosoever desires the reward of the Hereafter,) means, whoever does things for the sake of the Hereafter, نَزِدْ لَهُ فِى حَرْثِهِ (We give him increase in his reward, ) meaning, `We will give him strength and help him to do what he wants to do, and We will increase it for him.…
