Today’s verse

Surah At-Tawbah · Ayah 109

madani

أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good pleasure better; or he who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire of hell? Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

Pickthall

Which then is best? - he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? - or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.

Yusuf Ali

Then is one who laid the foundation of his building on righteousness [with fear] from Allah and [seeking] His approval better or one who laid the foundation of his building on the edge of a bank about to collapse, so it collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Sahih International

যে ব্যাক্তি স্বীয় গৃহের ভিত্তি রেখেছে কোন গর্তের কিনারায় যা ধ্বসে পড়ার নিকটবর্তী এবং অতঃপর তা ওকে নিয়ে দোযখের আগুনে পতিত হয়। আর আল্লাহ জালেমদের পথ দেখান না।

Muhiuddin Khan

بھلا جس شخص نے اپنی عمارت کی بنیاد خدا کے خوف اور اس کی رضامندی پر رکھی وہ اچھا ہے یا وہ جس نے اپنی عمارت کی بنیاد گر جانے والی کھائی کے کنارے پر رکھی کہ وہ اس کو دوزخ کی آگ میں لے گری اور خدا ظالموں کو ہدایت نہیں دیتا
