أَلَمْ
Did not
تَرَ
you take notice
إِلَى
at
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
حَآجَّ
argued with
إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ
Ibrahim
فِى
in
رَبِّهِۦٓ
his Rabb
أَنْ
that
ءَاتَىٰهُ
had given to him (that person)
ٱللَّهُ
the One
ٱلْمُلْكَ
the ownership (over things)
إِذْ
when
قَالَ
said
إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ
Ibrahim,
رَبِّىَ
[My Rabb is
ٱلَّذِى
the Entity
يُحْىِۦ
who gives life,
وَيُمِيتُ
and gives death.]
قَالَ
(The arguer) replied,
أَنَا۠
[I
أُحْىِۦ
give life,
وَأُمِيتُ
and give death.]
ۖ
قَالَ
Said
إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ
Ibrahim,
فَإِنَّ
[So it is that
ٱللَّهَ
the One
يَأْتِى
brings
بِٱلشَّمْسِ
about the Sun
مِنَ
from
ٱلْمَشْرِقِ
the East,
فَأْتِ
so you bring
بِهَا
about it
مِنَ
from
ٱلْمَغْرِبِ
the West],
فَبُهِتَ
thus it confused
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
كَفَرَ
denied;
ۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
and the One
لَا
not
يَهْدِى
guides
ٱلْقَوْمَ
the nation of
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
the people in darkness.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِى حَآجَّ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ فِى رَبِّهِۦٓ أَنْ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُلْكَ إِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّىَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَا۠ أُحْىِۦ وَأُمِيتُ ۖ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْتِى بِٱلشَّمْسِ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ ٱلَّذِى كَفَرَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ Did not you take notice at the one who argued with Ibrahim in his Rabb that had given to him (that person) the One the ownership (over things) when said Ibrahim, [My Rabb is the Entity who gives life, and gives death.] (The arguer) replied, [I give life, and give death.] Said Ibrahim, [So it is that the One brings about the Sun from the East, so you bring about it from the West], thus it confused the one who denied; and the One not guides the nation of the people in darkness.

Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom; how, when Abraham said: My Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death, he answered: I give life and cause death. Abraham said: Lo! Allah causeth the sun to rise in the East, so do thou cause it to come up from the West. Thus was the disbeliever abashed. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Have you not regarded him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, [only] because Allah had given him kingdom? When Abraham said, [My Lord is He who gives life and brings death,] he replied, [I [too] give life and bring death.] Abraham said, [Indeed Allah brings the sun from the east; now you bring it from the west.] Thereat the faithless one was dumbfounded. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
(Muhammad), have you heard about the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord for His granting him authority? Abraham said, [It is only my Lord who gives life and causes things to die.] His opponent said, [I also can give life and make things die.] Abraham said, [God causes the sun to come up from the East. You make it come from the West.] Thus the unbeliever was confounded. God does not guide the unjust people. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
Have you not heard of him who argued with Abraham about his Lord because God had bestowed the kingdom upon him? Abraham said, [My Lord is the one who gives life and brings death.] He answered, [I [too] give life and bring death!] Abraham said, [God brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up yourself from the west.] Then the disbeliever was confounded. God does not guide the wrongdoers. - Wahiduddin Khan

کیا تم نے اس کے حال پر نظر نہیں کی جس نے ابراہیم علیھ السّلام سے پروردگار کے بارے میں بحث کی صرف اس بات پر کہ خدا نے اسے ملک دے دیا تھا جب ابرہیم علیھ السّلام نے یہ کہا کہ میرا خدا جلِتا بھی ہے اور مارتا بھی ہے تو اس نے کہا کہ یہ کام میں بھی کرسکتا ہوں تو ابراہیم علیھ السّلام نے کہا کہ میرا خدامشرق سے آفتاب نکالتا ہے تو مغرب سے نکال دے تو کافر حیران رہ گیا اور اللہ ظالم قوم کی ہدایت نہیں کرتا ہے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
کیا تم نے اُس شخص کے حال پر غور نہیں کیا، جس نے ابراہیمؑ سے جھگڑا کیا تھا؟ جھگڑا اِس بات پر کہ ابراہیمؑ کا رب کون ہے، اور اس بنا پر کہ اس شخص کو اللہ نے حکومت دے رکھی تھی جب ابراہیمؑ نے کہا کہ ——میرا رب وہ ہے، جس کے اختیار میں زندگی اور موت ہے، تو اُس نے جواب دیا: ——زندگی اور موت میرے اختیار میں ہے——ابراہیمؑ نے کہا: ——اچھا، اللہ سورج کو مشرق سے نکالتا ہے، تو ذرا اُسے مغرب سے نکال لا—— یہ سن کر وہ منکر حق ششدر رہ گیا، مگر اللہ ظالموں کو راہ راست نہیں دکھایا کرتا - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اے محبوب! کیا تم نے نہ دیکھا تھا اسے جو ابراہیم سے جھگڑا اس کے رب کے بارے میں اس پر کہ اللہ نے اسے بادشاہی دی جبکہ ابراہیم نے کہا کہ میرا رب وہ ہے جو جِلاتا اور مارتا ہے بولا میں جِلاتا اور مارتا ہوں ابراہیم نے فرمایا تو اللہ سورج کو لاتا ہے پورب (مشرق) سے تو اس کو پچھم (مغرب) سے لے آ تو ہوش اڑ گئے کافروں کے، اور اللہ راہ نہیں دکھاتا ظالموں کو، - Ahmed Raza
⦿
کیا تم نے اس شخص کو نہیں دیکھا (اس کے حال پر غور نہیں کیا) جس نے جناب ابراہیم سے ان کے پروردگار کے بارے میں صرف اس بنا پر بحث و تکرار کی تھی کہ خدا نے اسے سلطنت دے رکھی تھی۔ جب ابراہیم نے کہا تھا کہ میرا پروردگار وہ ہے جو جلاتا بھی ہے اور مارتا بھی ہے۔ اس (شخص) نے کہا میں بھی جلاتا اور مارتا ہوں (اس پر) ابراہیم نے کہا میرا خدا سورج کو مشرق سے نکالتا ہے تو اسے مغرب سے نکال۔ اس پر کافر مبہوت (ہکا بکا) ہوگیا۔ خدا ظالموں کو ہدایت نہیں کرتا (ان کو منزل مقصود تک نہیں پہنچاتا)۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
