১৬:৩৬

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَالَةُ ۚ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ

আৰু নিশ্চয় আমি প্ৰত্যেক জাতিৰ ওচৰতেই ৰাছুল পঠাইছিলো(*1) এই নিৰ্দেশ প্ৰদান কৰি যে, তোমালোকে আল্লাহৰ ইবাদত কৰা আৰু তাগুতক পৰিহাৰ কৰা(*2)। তাৰ পিছত আল্লাহে সিহঁতৰ কিছুসংখ্যক লোকক হিদায়ত দিছে(*3), আৰু সিহঁতৰ কিছুমানৰ ওপৰত পথভ্ৰষ্টতা সাব্যস্ত হৈছিল(*4); এতেকে তোমালোকে পৃথিৱীত পৰিভ্ৰমণ কৰি চোৱা মিছলীয়াসকলৰ পৰিণাম কি হৈছিল?

16:36 And indeed, within every community(*1) have We raised up an apostle [entrusted with this message]: "Worship God, and shun the powers of evil!"(*2) And among those [past generations] were people whom God graced with His guidance,(*3) just as there was among them [many a one] who inevitably fell prey to grievous error:(*4) go, then, about the earth and behold what happened in the end to those who gave the lie to the truth!

Note(*1)

Or "at every period", since the term ummah has this significance as well. In its wider sense, it may also be taken here to denote "civilization", thus comprising a human groupment as well as a period of time.

Note(*2)

For this rendering of the term at-taghut, see surah 🏖️2:256. It is to be borne in mind that, in Qur'anic terminology, "worship of God" invariably implies the concept of man's sense of responsibility before Him: hence, the above commandment comprises, in the most concise formulation imaginable, the sum-total of all ethical injunctions and prohibitions, and is the basis and source of all morality as well as the one unchanging message inherent in every true religion.

(২:২৫৬🏖️

لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

দ্বীন গ্ৰহণৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত কোনো জোৰ-জবৰদস্তি নাই; সত্য পথ ভ্ৰান্ত পথৰ পৰা সুস্পষ্ট হৈছে। এতেকে যিয়ে তাগুতক অস্বীকাৰ কৰিব আৰু আল্লাহৰ প্ৰতি ঈমান আনিব সি এনেকুৱা এডাল ৰছীত খামুচি ধৰিলে যিডাল কেতিয়াও বিচ্ছিন্ন নহ’ব; আৰু আল্লাহ সৰ্বশ্ৰোতা, সৰ্বজ্ঞানী।

Note(*3)

I.e., who availed themselves of the guidance offered by Him to all human beings.

Note(*4)

Lit., "upon whom error came to be inevitably established (hagqa `alayhi)" or "against whom [a verdict of] error became inevitable": i.e., one whose heart "God has sealed" in consequence of his persistent, conscious refusal to submit to His guidance (see surah 2:7🍒, as well as surah 🐝14:4.
