وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَحْيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلْأَمْوَٰتُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allāh causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves.

அன்றியும், உயிருள்ளவர்களும், இறந்தவர்களும் சமமாக மாட்டார்கள். நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ்தான் நாடியவர்களைச் செவியேற்கும்படி செய்கிறான், கப்ருகளில் உள்ளவர்களைக் கேட்கும்படிச் செய்பவராக நீர் இல்லை.

තවද ජීවත්ව සිටින්නන් හා මළවුන් සමාන නො වෙයි. නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ් ඔහු අභිමත කරන අයට සවන් වැකෙන්නට සලස්වයි. එහෙත් ඔබ මිනීවලවල් තුළ සිටින්නන්ට සවන් වැකෙන්නට සලස්වන්නකු නො වේ.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور زنده اور مردے برابر نہیں ہوسکتے ، اللہ تعالیٰ جس کو چاہتا ہے سنا دیتا ہے، اور آپ ان لوگوں کو نہیں سنا سکتے جو قبروں میں ہیں.

活人和死人也不相等。真主必使他的意欲者能听闻,你绝不能使在坟中的人能听闻,

Tafsir of 35:22

The Believer and the Disbeliever are not equal Allah says that these antonyms are clearly not equal, the blind and the seeing are not equal, there is a difference and a huge gap between them. Darkness and light are not equal, neither are shade and the sun's heat. By the same token, the living and the dead are not equal. This is the parable Allah makes of the believers who are the living, and the disbelievers who are the dead.
