وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ۝٦١

And if Allāh were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon it [i.e., the earth] any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

Hilali and Khan

And if Allâh were to seize mankind for their wrong-doing, He would not leave on it (the earth) a single moving (living) creature, but He postpones them for an appointed term and when their term comes, neither can they delay nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).

Marmaduke Pickthall

If Allah were to take mankind to task for their wrong-doing, he would not leave hereon a living creature, but He reprieveth them to an appointed term, and when their term cometh they cannot put (it) off an hour nor (yet) advance (it)

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour)

Muhammad Junagarhi

اگر لوگوں کے گناه پر اللہ تعالیٰ ان کی گرفت کرتا تو روئے زمین پر ایک بھی جاندار باقی نہ رہتا ، لیکن وه تو انہیں ایک وقت مقرر تک ڈھیل دیتا ہے، جب ان کا وه وقت آجاتا ہے تو وه ایک ساعت نہ پیچھے ره سکتے ہیں اور نہ آگے بڑھ سکتے ہیں.

Dan kalau Allah menghukum manusia karena kezalimannya, niscaya tidak akan ada yang ditinggalkan-Nya (di bumi) dari makhluk yang melata sekali pun, tetapi Allah menangguhkan mereka sampai waktu yang sudah ditentukan. Maka apabila ajalnya tiba, mereka tidak dapat meminta penundaan atau percepatan sesaat pun.

Bengali · Abu Bakr Zakaria

আর আল্লাহ্‌ যদি মানুষকে তাদের সীমালংঘনের জন্য শাস্তি দিতেন তবে ভূপৃষ্ঠে কোনো জীব- জন্তুকেই রেহাই দিতেন না; কিন্তু তিনি এক নির্দিষ্ট কাল পর্যন্ত তাদেরকে অবকাশ দিয়ে থাকেন। অতঃপর যখন তাদের সময় আসে তখন তারা মহূর্তকাল আগাতে বা পিছাতে পারে না।
