9. Surah At-Tawbah The Repentance

بَرَٓاءَةٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ٓ اِلَى الَّذ۪ينَ عَاهَدْتُمْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَۜ

Baraatun mina Allahiwarasoolihi ila allatheena AAahadtum minaalmushrikeen

An announcement to those mushrikun you have a general treaty with that Allah and His Messenger are free of them:

فَس۪يحُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِي اللّٰهِۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْزِي الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Faseehoo fee al-ardi arbaAAataashhurin waAAlamoo annakum ghayru muAAjizee Allahiwaanna Allaha mukhzee alkafireen

‘You may travel about in the land for four months and know that you cannot thwart Allah and that Allah will humiliate the kafirun. ’

وَاَذَانٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ٓ اِلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الْاَكْبَرِ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بَر۪ٓيءٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَۙ وَرَسُولُهُۜ فَاِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْۚ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِي اللّٰهِۜ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا بِعَذَابٍ اَل۪يمٍۙ

Waathanun mina Allahiwarasoolihi ila annasi yawma alhajjial-akbari anna Allaha baree-on mina almushrikeenawarasooluhu fa-in tubtum fahuwa khayrun lakum wa-in tawallaytumfaAAlamoo annakum ghayru muAAjizee Allahiwabashshiri allatheena kafaroo biAAathabin aleem

A proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to mankind on the day of the greater pilgrimage: ‘Allah is free of the idolaters, as is His Messenger. If you make tawba, it will be better for you. But if you turn your backs, know that you cannot thwart Allah.’ Give the kuffar the news of a painful punishment –

اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ عَاهَدْتُمْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْقُصُوكُمْ شَيْـٔاً وَلَمْ يُظَاهِرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ اَحَداً فَاَتِمُّٓوا اِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ اِلٰى مُدَّتِهِمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ

Illa allatheena AAahadtummina almushrikeena thumma lam yanqusookum shay-an walam yuthahirooAAalaykum ahadan faatimmoo ilayhim AAahdahum ilamuddatihim inna Allaha yuhibbu almuttaqeen

except those among the idolaters you have treaties with, who have not then broken their treaties with you in any way, nor granted assistance to anyone against you. Honour their treaties until their time runs out. Allah loves those who have taqwa.

فَاِذَا انْسَلَخَ الْاَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُوا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍۚ فَاِنْ تَابُوا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَخَلُّوا سَب۪يلَهُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Fa-itha insalakha al-ashhuru alhurumufaqtuloo almushrikeena haythu wajadtumoohum wakhuthoohumwahsuroohum waqAAudoo lahum kulla marsadinfa-in taboo waaqamoo assalatawaatawoo azzakata fakhalloo sabeelahum innaAllaha ghafoorun raheem

Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and seize them and besiege them and lie in wait for them on every road. If they make tawba and establish salat and pay zakat, let them go on their way. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَاِنْ اَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَاَجِرْهُ حَتّٰى يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ اَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۟

Wa-in ahadun mina almushrikeena istajarakafaajirhu hatta yasmaAAa kalama Allahithumma ablighhu ma/manahu thalika bi-annahum qawmun layaAAlamoon

If any of the idolaters ask you for protection, give them protection until they have heard the words of Allah. Then convey them to a place where they are safe. That is because they are a people who do not know.

كَيْفَ يَكُونُ لِلْمُشْرِك۪ينَ عَهْدٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنْدَ رَسُولِه۪ٓ اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ عَاهَدْتُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۚ فَمَا اسْتَقَامُوا لَكُمْ فَاسْتَق۪يمُوا لَهُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ

Kayfa yakoonu lilmushrikeena AAahdun AAindaAllahi waAAinda rasoolihi illa allatheena AAahadtumAAinda almasjidi alharami fama istaqamoolakum fastaqeemoo lahum inna Allaha yuhibbualmuttaqeen

How could any of the idolaters possibly have a treaty with Allah and with His Messenger, except for those you made a treaty with at the Masjid al-Haram? As long as they are straight with you, be straight with them. Allah loves those who have taqwa.

كَيْفَ وَاِنْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُوا ف۪يكُمْ اِلاًّ وَلَا ذِمَّةًۜ يُرْضُونَكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَأْبٰى قُلُوبُهُمْۚ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ فَاسِقُونَۚ

Kayfa wa-in yathharoo AAalaykumla yarquboo feekum illan wala thimmatan yurdoonakumbi-afwahihim wata/ba quloobuhum waaktharuhum fasiqoon

How indeed! For if they get the upper hand over you, they will respect neither kinship nor treaty. They please you with their mouths but their hearts belie their words. Most of them are deviators.

اِشْتَرَوْا بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ ثَمَناً قَل۪يلاً فَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَب۪يلِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُمْ سَٓاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Ishtaraw bi-ayati Allahithamanan qaleelan fasaddoo AAan sabeelihi innahum saama kanoo yaAAmaloon

They have sold Allah’s Signs for a paltry price, and they have barred access to His Way. What they have done is truly evil.

لَا يَرْقُبُونَ ف۪ي مُؤْمِنٍ اِلاًّ وَلَا ذِمَّةًۜ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُونَ

La yarquboona fee mu/minin illan walathimmatan waola-ika humu almuAAtadoon

They respect neither kinship nor treaty where a mumin is concerned. They are the people who overstep the limits.

فَاِنْ تَابُوا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدّ۪ينِۜ وَنُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Fa-in taboo waaqamoo assalatawaatawoo azzakata fa-ikhwanukum feeaddeeni wanufassilu al-ayatiliqawmin yaAAlamoon

But if they make tawba and establish salat and pay zakat, they are your brothers in the deen. We make the Signs clear for people who have knowledge.

وَاِنْ نَكَثُٓوا اَيْمَانَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُوا ف۪ي د۪ينِكُمْ فَقَاتِلُٓوا اَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِۙ اِنَّهُمْ لَٓا اَيْمَانَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنْتَهُونَ

Wa-in nakathoo aymanahum min baAAdiAAahdihim wataAAanoo fee deenikum faqatilooa-immata alkufri innahum la aymana lahumlaAAallahum yantahoon

If they break their oaths after making their treaty and defame your deen, then fight the leaders of kufr – their oaths mean nothing – so that hopefully they will stop.

اَلَا تُقَاتِلُونَ قَوْماً نَكَثُٓوا اَيْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّوا بِاِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُولِ وَهُمْ بَدَؤُ۫كُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۜ اَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْۚ فَاللّٰهُ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَخْشَوْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Ala tuqatiloona qawmannakathoo aymanahum wahammoo bi-ikhraji arrasooliwahum badaookum awwala marratin atakhshawnahum fallahuahaqqu an takhshawhu in kuntum mu/mineen

Will you not fight a people who have broken their oaths and resolved to expel the Messenger, and who initiated hostilities against you in the first place? Is it them you fear? Allah has more right to your fear if you are muminun.

قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاَيْد۪يكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِن۪ينَۙ

Qatiloohum yuAAaththibhumu Allahubi-aydeekum wayukhzihim wayansurkum AAalayhim wayashfi sudooraqawmin mu/mineen

Fight them! Allah will punish them at your hands, and disgrace them and help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who have iman.

وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْۜ وَيَتُوبُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Wayuthhib ghaythaquloobihim wayatoobu Allahu AAala man yashaowallahu AAaleemun hakeem

He will remove the rage from their hearts. Allah turns to anyone He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تُتْرَكُوا وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ جَاهَدُوا مِنْكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا رَسُولِه۪ وَلَا الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَل۪يجَةًۜ وَاللّٰهُ خَب۪يرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ۟

Am hasibtum an tutrakoo walammayaAAlami Allahu allatheena jahadoo minkumwalam yattakhithoo min dooni Allahi walarasoolihi wala almu/mineena waleejatan wallahukhabeerun bima taAAmaloon

Or did you suppose that you would be left without Allah knowing those of you who have done jihad and who have not taken anyone as their intimate friends besides Allah and His Messenger and the muminun? Allah is aware of what you do.

مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِك۪ينَ اَنْ يَعْمُرُوا مَسَاجِدَ اللّٰهِ شَاهِد۪ينَ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْۚ وَفِي النَّارِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ

Ma kana lilmushrikeena anyaAAmuroo masajida Allahi shahideena AAalaanfusihim bilkufri ola-ika habitataAAmaluhum wafee annari hum khalidoon

It is not for the idolaters to frequent the mosques of Allah, bearing witness against themselves of their kufr. They are the ones whose actions will come to nothing. They will be in the Fire timelessly, for ever.

اِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَى الزَّكٰوةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَعَسٰٓى اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُهْتَد۪ينَ

Innama yaAAmuru masajida Allahiman amana billahi walyawmi al-akhiriwaaqama assalata waataazzakata walam yakhsha illa AllahafaAAasa ola-ika an yakoonoo mina almuhtadeen

The mosques of Allah should only be frequented by those who have iman in Allah and the Last Day and establish salat and pay zakat, and fear no one but Allah. They are the ones most likely to be guided.

اَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَٓاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۜ لَا يَسْتَوُ۫نَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَۢ

AjaAAaltum siqayata alhajjiwaAAimarata almasjidi alharami kaman amanabillahi walyawmi al-akhiri wajahadafee sabeeli Allahi la yastawoona AAinda Allahiwallahu la yahdee alqawma aththalimeen

Do you make the giving of water to the pilgrims and looking after the Masjid al-Haram the same as having iman in Allah and the Last Day and doing jihad in the Way of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.

اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَهَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۙ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْفَٓائِزُونَ

Allatheena amanoo wahajaroowajahadoo fee sabeeli Allahi bi-amwalihimwaanfusihim aAAthamu darajatan AAinda Allahiwaola-ika humu alfa-izoon

Those who have iman and make hijra and do jihad in the Way of Allah with their wealth and themselves have a higher rank with Allah. They are the ones who are victorious.

يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَجَنَّاتٍ لَهُمْ ف۪يهَا نَع۪يمٌ مُق۪يمٌۙ

Yubashshiruhum rabbuhum birahmatinminhu waridwanin wajannatin lahum feehanaAAeemun muqeem

Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and good pleasure and Gardens where they will enjoy everlasting delight,

خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَٓا اَبَداًۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهُٓ اَجْرٌ عَظ۪يمٌ

Khalideena feeha abadan innaAllaha AAindahu ajrun AAatheem

remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Truly there is an immense reward with Allah.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُٓوا اٰبَٓاءَكُمْ وَاِخْوَانَكُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ اِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَى الْا۪يمَانِۜ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattakhithoo abaakum wa-ikhwanakumawliyaa ini istahabboo alkufra AAala al-eemaniwaman yatawallahum minkum faola-ika humu aththalimoon

You who have iman, do not befriend your fathers and brothers if they prefer kufr to iman. Those among you who do befriend them are wrongdoers.

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬كُمْ وَاَبْنَٓاؤُ۬كُمْ وَاِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَش۪يرَتُكُمْ وَاَمْوَالٌۨ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَـهَٓا اَحَبَّ اِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ وَجِهَادٍ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِه۪ فَتَرَبَّصُوا حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ۟

Qul in kana abaokumwaabnaokum wa-ikhwanukum waazwajukumwaAAasheeratukum waamwalun iqtaraftumooha watijaratuntakhshawna kasadaha wamasakinu tardawnahaahabba ilaykum mina Allahi warasoolihi wajihadinfee sabeelihi fatarabbasoo hatta ya/tiya Allahubi-amrihi wallahu la yahdee alqawma alfasiqeen

Say: ‘If your fathers or your sons or your brothers or your wives or your tribe, or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear may slump, or any house which pleases you, are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and doing jihad in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His command. Allah does not guide people who are deviators.’

لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ف۪ي مَوَاطِنَ كَث۪يرَةٍۙ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍۙ اِذْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَـثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَيْـٔاً وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُدْبِر۪ينَۚ

Laqad nasarakumu Allahu feemawatina katheeratin wayawma hunaynin ithaAAjabatkum kathratukum falam tughni AAankum shay-an wadaqatAAalaykumu al-ardu bima rahubat thummawallaytum mudbireen

Allah has helped you on many occasions, including the Day of Hunayn* when your great numbers delighted you but did not help you in any way, and the earth seemed narrow to you for all its great breadth, and you turned your backs.

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَك۪ينَتَهُ عَلٰى رَسُولِه۪ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَاَنْزَلَ جُنُوداً لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۜ وَذٰلِكَ جَزَٓاءُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Thumma anzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAalarasoolihi waAAala almu/mineena waanzala junoodan lamtarawha waAAaththaba allatheena kafaroo wathalikajazao alkafireen

Then Allah sent down His serenity on His Messenger and on the muminun, and sent down troops you could not see, and punished those who were kafir. That is how the kuffar are repaid.

ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلٰى مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Thumma yatoobu Allahu min baAAdi thalikaAAala man yashao wallahu ghafoorunraheem

Then after that Allah will turn to anyone He wills. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هٰذَاۚ وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْن۪يكُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ٓ اِنْ شَٓاءَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

You who have iman! the idolaters are unclean, so after this year they should not come near the Masjid al-Haram. If you fear impoverishment, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

قَاتِلُوا الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلَا يَد۪ينُونَ د۪ينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ حَتّٰى يُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ۟

Fight those of the people who were given the Book who do not have iman in Allah and the Last Day and who do not make haram what Allah and His Messenger have made haram and do not take as their deen the deen of Truth, until they pay the jizya with their own hands in a state of complete abasement.

وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌۨ ابْنُ اللّٰهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَس۪يحُ ابْنُ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْۚ يُضَاهِؤُ۫نَ قَوْلَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُۜ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُۘ اَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُونَ

The Jews say, ‘‘Uzayr is the son of Allah,’ and the Christians say, ‘The Messiah is the son of Allah. ’ That is what they say with their mouths, copying the words of those who were kafir before. Allah fight them! How perverted they are!

اِتَّخَذُٓوا اَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ اَرْبَاباً مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَس۪يحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَۚ وَمَٓا اُمِرُٓوا اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُٓوا اِلٰهاً وَاحِداًۚ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۜ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Ittakhathoo ahbarahumwaruhbanahum arbaban min dooni Allahi walmaseehaibna maryama wama omiroo illa liyaAAbudoo ilahanwahidan la ilaha illa huwa subhanahuAAamma yushrikoon

They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allah, and also the Messiah, son of Maryam. Yet they were commanded to worship only one God. There is no god but Him! Glory be to Him above anything they associate with Him!

يُر۪يدُونَ اَنْ يُطْفِؤُ۫ا نُورَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّٰهُ اِلَّٓا اَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

Yureedoona an yutfi-oo noora Allahibi-afwahihim waya/ba Allahu illa anyutimma noorahu walaw kariha alkafiroon

They desire to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the kafirun detest it.

هُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدٰى وَد۪ينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدّ۪ينِ كُلِّه۪ۙ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ

Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bilhudawadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala addeenikullihi walaw kariha almushrikoon

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the Deen of Truth to exalt it over every other deen, even though the idolaters detest it.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنَ الْاَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۙ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَل۪يمٍۙ

You who have iman! many of the rabbis and monks devour people’s property under false pretences and bar people from access to the Way of Allah. As for those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in the Way of Allah, give them the news of a painful punishment

يَوْمَ يُحْمٰى عَلَيْهَا ف۪ي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوٰى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْۜ هٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ

Yawma yuhma AAalayhafee nari jahannama fatukwa biha jibahuhumwajunoobuhum wathuhooruhum hatha makanaztum li-anfusikum fathooqoo ma kuntum taknizoon

on the Day it is heated up in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, sides and backs are branded with it: ‘This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you were hoarding!’

اِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْراً ف۪ي كِتَابِ اللّٰهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ مِنْهَٓا اَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌۜ ذٰلِكَ الدّ۪ينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا ف۪يهِنَّ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ كَٓافَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَٓافَّةًۜ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ

There have been twelve months with Allah in the Book of Allah, from the day He first created the heavens and earth. Four of them are haram. That is the True Deen. So do not wrong one another during them. However, fight the idolaters totally just as they fight you totally, and know that Allah is with those who have taqwa.

اِنَّمَا النَّس۪ٓيءُ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا يُحِلُّونَهُ عَاماً وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَاماً لِيُوَاطِؤُ۫ا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ فَيُحِلُّوا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُۜ زُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُٓوءُ اَعْمَالِهِمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِر۪ينَ۟

Deferring a sacred month is an increase in kufr by which the kuffar lead many people astray. One year they make it profane and another sacred to tally with the number Allah has made sacred. In that way they profane what Allah has made sacred. Their bad actions are made to seem good to them. Allah does not guide kafir people.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا ق۪يلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَى الْاَرْضِۜ اَرَض۪يتُمْ بِالْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا قَل۪يلٌ

You who have iman! what is the matter with you that when you are told, ‘Go out and fight in the way of Allah,’ you sink down heavily to the earth? Are you happier with this world than the Next World? Yet the enjoyment of this world is very small compared to that of the Next World.

اِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَاباً اَل۪يماً وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْـٔاًۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Illa tanfiroo yuAAaththibkumAAathaban aleeman wayastabdil qawman ghayrakum walatadurroohu shay-an wallahu AAalakulli shay-in qadeer

If you do not go out to fight, He will punish you with a painful punishment and substitute another people in your place. You will not harm Him in any way. Allah has power over all things.

اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّٰهُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَهُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ اِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ اِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِه۪ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَنَاۚ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَك۪ينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰىۜ وَكَلِمَةُ اللّٰهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَاۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ

If you do not help him, Allah did help him when the kuffar drove him out and there were two of them in the Cave. * He said to his companion, ‘Do not be despondent, Allah is with us.’ Then Allah sent down His serenity upon him and reinforced him with troops you could not see. He made the word of the kuffar undermost. It is the word of Allah which is uppermost. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

اِنْفِرُوا خِفَافاً وَثِقَالاً وَجَاهِدُوا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Infiroo khifafan wathiqalanwajahidoo bi-amwalikum waanfusikum fee sabeeli Allahithalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoon

Go out to fight, whatever your circumstances or desires, and do jihad with your wealth and yourselves in the Way of Allah. That is better for you if you only knew.

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضاً قَر۪يباً وَسَفَراً قَاصِداً لَاتَّـبَعُوكَ وَلٰكِنْ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُۜ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْۚ يُهْلِكُونَ اَنْفُسَهُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ۟

If it had been a case of easy gains and a short journey, they would have followed you, but the distance was too great for them. They will swear by Allah: ‘Had we been able to, we would have gone out with you.’ They are destroying their own selves. Allah knows that they are lying.

عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْكَۚ لِمَ اَذِنْتَ لَهُمْ حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الَّذ۪ينَ صَدَقُوا وَتَعْلَمَ الْكَاذِب۪ينَ

AAafa Allahu AAanka lima athintalahum hatta yatabayyana laka allatheena sadaqoowataAAlama alkathibeen

Allah pardon you! Why did you excuse them until it was clear to you which of them were telling the truth and until you knew the liars?

لَا يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ يُجَاهِدُوا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِالْمُتَّق۪ينَ

La yasta/thinuka allatheenayu/minoona billahi walyawmi al-akhirian yujahidoo bi-amwalihim waanfusihim wallahuAAaleemun bilmuttaqeen

Those who have iman in Allah and the Last Day do not ask you to excuse them from doing jihad with their wealth and themselves. Allah knows the people who have taqwa.

اِنَّمَا يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَارْتَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَهُمْ ف۪ي رَيْبِهِمْ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ

Innama yasta/thinuka allatheenala yu/minoona billahi walyawmi al-akhiriwartabat quloobuhum fahum fee raybihimyataraddadoon

Only those who do not have iman in Allah and the Last Day ask you to excuse them. Their hearts are full of doubt and in their doubt they waver to and fro.

وَلَوْ اَرَادُوا الْخُرُوجَ لَاَعَدُّوا لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلٰكِنْ كَرِهَ اللّٰهُ انْبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَق۪يلَ اقْعُدُوا مَعَ الْقَاعِد۪ينَ

Walaw aradoo alkhurooja laaAAaddoolahu AAuddatan walakin kariha Allahu inbiAAathahumfathabbatahum waqeela oqAAudoo maAAa alqaAAideen

If they had really desired to go out, they would have made proper preparations for it, but Allah was averse to their setting out so He held them back and they were told: ‘Stay behind with those who stay behind. ’

لَوْ خَرَجُوا ف۪يكُمْ مَا زَادُوكُمْ اِلَّا خَبَالاً وَلَا۬اَوْضَعُوا خِلَالَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَۚ وَف۪يكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِالظَّالِم۪ينَ

Law kharajoo feekum ma zadookumilla khabalan walaawdaAAoo khilalakumyabghoonakumu alfitnata wafeekum sammaAAoona lahum wallahuAAaleemun biththalimeen

If they had gone out among you, they would have added nothing to you but confusion. They would have scurried about amongst you seeking to cause conflict between you, and among you there are some who would have listened to them. Allah knows the wrongdoers.

لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوا لَكَ الْاُمُورَ حَتّٰى جَٓاءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ

Laqadi ibtaghawoo alfitnata min qabluwaqallaboo laka al-omoora hatta jaa alhaqquwathahara amru Allahi wahum karihoon

They have already tried to cause conflict before, and turned things completely upside down for you, until the truth came and Allah’s command prevailed even though they detested it.

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ ائْذَنْ ل۪ي وَلَا تَفْتِنّ۪يۜ اَلَا فِي الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُواۜ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُح۪يطَةٌ بِالْكَافِر۪ينَ

Waminhum man yaqoolu i/than lee walataftinnee ala fee alfitnati saqatoo wa-innajahannama lamuheetatun bilkafireen

Among them are there some who say, ‘Give me permission to stay. Do not put temptation in my way.’ Have they not fallen into that very temptation? Hell hems in the kafirun.

اِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُص۪يبَةٌ يَقُولُوا قَدْ اَخَذْنَٓا اَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ فَرِحُونَ

In tusibka hasanatun tasu/humwa-in tusibka museebatun yaqooloo qad akhathnaamrana min qablu wayatawallaw wahum farihoon

If good happens to you it galls them. If a mishap occurs to you, they say, ‘We made our preparations in advance,’ and they turn away rejoicing.

قُلْ لَنْ يُص۪يبَنَٓا اِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَنَاۚ هُوَ مَوْلٰينَاۚ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Qul lan yuseebana illama kataba Allahu lana huwa mawlanawaAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almu/minoon

Say: ‘Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the muminun should put their trust.’

قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَٓا اِلَّٓا اِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِۜ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ اَنْ يُص۪يبَكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِه۪ٓ اَوْ بِاَيْد۪ينَاۘ فَتَرَبَّصُٓوا اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُتَرَبِّصُونَ

Qul hal tarabbasoona bina illaihda alhusnayayni wanahnu natarabbasubikum an yuseebakumu Allahu biAAathabin minAAindihi aw bi-aydeena fatarabbasoo innamaAAakum mutarabbisoon

Say: ‘What do you await for us except for one of the two best things?* But what we await for you is for Allah to inflict a punishment on you either directly from Himself or at our hands. So wait, we are waiting with you!’

قُلْ اَنْفِقُوا طَوْعاً اَوْ كَرْهاً لَنْ يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنْكُمْۜ اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْماً فَاسِق۪ينَ

Qul anfiqoo tawAAan aw karhan lanyutaqabbala minkum innakum kuntum qawman fasiqeen

Say: ‘Whether you give readily or reluctantly, it will not be accepted from you. You are people who are deviators.’

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ اَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَاتُهُمْ اِلَّٓا اَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِرَسُولِه۪ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلٰوةَ اِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالٰى وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَ اِلَّا وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ

Wama manaAAahum an tuqbala minhumnafaqatuhum illa annahum kafaroo billahiwabirasoolihi wala ya/toona assalatailla wahum kusala wala yunfiqoona illawahum karihoon

Nothing prevents what they give from being accepted from them but the fact that they have rejected Allah and His Messenger, and that they only come to salat lethargically, and that they only give reluctantly.

فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَٓا اَوْلَادُهُمْۜ اِنَّمَا يُر۪يدُ اللّٰهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ

Fala tuAAjibka amwaluhum walaawladuhum innama yureedu Allahu liyuAAaththibahumbiha fee alhayati addunyawatazhaqa anfusuhum wahum kafiroon

Do not let their wealth and children impress you. Allah merely wants to punish them by them during their life in this world and for them to expire while they are kuffar.

وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّٰهِ اِنَّهُمْ لَمِنْكُمْۜ وَمَا هُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَلٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ

Wayahlifoona billahiinnahum laminkum wama hum minkum walakinnahumqawmun yafraqoon

They swear by Allah that they are of your number, but they are not of your number. Rather, they are people who are scared.

لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَـٔاً اَوْ مَغَارَاتٍ اَوْ مُدَّخَلاً لَوَلَّوْا اِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ

If they could find a bolt-hole, cave or burrow, they would turn and scurry away into it.

Waminhum man yalmizuka fee assadaqatifa-in oAAtoo minha radoo wa-in lam yuAAtawminha itha hum yaskhatoon

Among them there are some who find fault with you concerning the zakat. If they are given some of it, they are pleased but if they are not given any, they are angry.

وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا مَٓا اٰتٰيهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ سَيُؤْت۪ينَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ وَرَسُولُهُٓۙ اِنَّٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ رَاغِبُونَ۟

Walaw annahum radoo ma atahumuAllahu warasooluhu waqaloo hasbunaAllahu sayu/teena Allahu min fadlihiwarasooluhu inna ila Allahi raghiboon

If only they had been pleased with what Allah and His Messenger had given them and had said, ‘Allah is enough for us. Allah will give us of His bounty as will His Messenger. It is to Allah that we make our plea.’

اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَـرَٓاءِ وَالْمَسَاك۪ينِ وَالْعَامِل۪ينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَ۬لَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِم۪ينَ وَف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَابْنِ السَّب۪يلِۜ فَر۪يضَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Zakat is for: the poor, the destitute, those who collect it, reconciling people’s hearts, freeing slaves, those in debt, spending in the Way of Allah, and travellers. It is a legal obligation from Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

وَمِنْهُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ اُذُنٌۜ قُلْ اُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مِنْكُمْۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Among them are some who insult the Prophet, saying he is only an ear. Say, ‘An ear of good for you, believing in Allah and believing in the muminun, and a mercy for those among you who have iman.’ As for those who insult the Messenger of Allah, they will have a painful punishment.

يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ وَرَسُولُـهُٓ اَحَقُّ اَنْ يُرْضُوهُ اِنْ كَانُوا مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Yahlifoona billahilakum liyurdookum wallahu warasooluhu ahaqquan yurdoohu in kanoo mu/mineen

They swear to you by Allah in order to please you, but it would be more fitting for them to please Allah and His Messenger if they are muminun.

اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّهُ مَنْ يُحَادِدِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَاَنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِداً ف۪يهَاۜ ذٰلِكَ الْخِزْيُ الْعَظ۪يمُ

Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, will have the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever? That is the great disgrace.

يَحْذَرُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْۜ قُلِ اسْتَهْزِؤُ۫اۚ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَا تَحْذَرُونَ

Yahtharu almunafiqoona antunazzala AAalayhim sooratun tunabbi-ohum bima feequloobihim quli istahzi-oo inna Allaha mukhrijun matahtharoon

The hypocrites are afraid that a sura may be sent down about them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say: ‘Go on mocking! Allah will expose everything you are afraid of.’

وَلَئِنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُۜ قُلْ اَبِاللّٰهِ وَاٰيَاتِه۪ وَرَسُولِه۪ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ

If you ask them they will say, ‘We were only joking and playing around. ’ Say: ‘Would you make a mockery of Allah and of His Signs and of His Messenger?

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ ا۪يمَانِكُمْۜ اِنْ نَعْفُ عَنْ طَٓائِفَةٍ مِنْكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَٓائِفَةً بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِم۪ينَ۟

Do not try to excuse yourselves. You have become kafir after having iman. If one group of you is pardoned, another group will be punished for being evildoers.’

The men and women of the hypocrites are as bad as one another. They command what is wrong and forbid what is right and keep their fists tightly closed. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. The hypocrites are deviators.

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُنَافِق۪ينَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتِ وَالْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ هِيَ حَسْبُهُمْۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُق۪يمٌۙ

Allah has promised the men and women of the hypocrites and kafirun the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. It will suffice them. Allah has cursed them. They will have everlasting punishment.

Like those before you who had greater strength than you and more wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion; so enjoy your portion as those before you enjoyed theirs. You have plunged into defamation as they plunged into it. The actions of such people come to nothing in this world or the Next World. They are the lost.

Has the news of those who came before them not reached them the people of Nuh and ‘Ad and Thamud, and the people of Ibrahim and the inhabitants of Madyan and the overturned cities? Their Messengers brought them the Clear Signs. Allah did not wrong them; rather they wronged themselves.

وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءُ بَعْضٍۢ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُق۪يمُونَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَيُط۪يعُونَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللّٰهُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ

The men and women of the muminun are friends of one another. They command what is right and forbid what is wrong, and establish salat and pay zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. They are the people on whom Allah will have mercy. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَا وَمَسَاكِنَ طَيِّبَةً ف۪ي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍۜ وَرِضْوَانٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُۜ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُ۟

Allah has promised the men and women of the muminun Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden. And Allah’s good pleasure is even greater. That is the great victory.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنَافِق۪ينَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَمَأْوٰيهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ

Ya ayyuha annabiyyu jahidialkuffara walmunafiqeena waghluthAAalayhim wama/wahum jahannamu wabi/sa almaseer

O Prophet, do jihad against the kafirun and hypocrites and be harsh with them. Their shelter will be Hell. What an evil destination!

يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّٰهِ مَا قَالُواۜ وَلَقَدْ قَالُوا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ اِسْلَامِهِمْ وَهَمُّوا بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُواۚ وَمَا نَقَمُٓوا اِلَّٓا اَنْ اَغْنٰيهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ۚ فَاِنْ يَتُوبُوا يَكُ خَيْراً لَهُمْۚ وَاِنْ يَتَوَلَّوْا يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ عَذَاباً اَل۪يماً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ

They swear by Allah that they said nothing, but they definitely spoke the word of kufr and returned to kufr after their Islam. They planned something which they did not achieve and they were vindictive for no other reason than that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty. If they were to make tawba, it would be better for them. But if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Next World, and they will not find any protector or helper on the earth.

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَاهَدَ اللّٰهَ لَئِنْ اٰتٰينَا مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِح۪ينَ

Waminhum man AAahada Allahala-in atana min fadlihi lanassaddaqannawalanakoonanna mina assaliheen

Among them there were some who made an agreement with Allah: ‘If He gives us of His bounty we will definitely give sadaqa and be among the righteous. ’

فَلَمَّٓا اٰتٰيهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ بَخِلُوا بِه۪ وَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

Falamma atahum min fadlihibakhiloo bihi watawallaw wahum muAAridoon

But when He does give them of His bounty they are tight-fisted with it and turn away,

فَاَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقاً ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَٓا اَخْلَفُوا اللّٰهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ

FaaAAqabahum nifaqan fee quloobihimila yawmi yalqawnahu bima akhlafoo Allaha mawaAAadoohu wabima kanoo yakthiboon

so He has punished them by putting hypocrisy in their hearts until the day they meet Him because they failed Allah in what they promised Him and because they lied.

اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوٰيهُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِۚ

Alam yaAAlamoo anna Allaha yaAAlamusirrahum wanajwahum waanna Allaha AAallamualghuyoob

Do they not know that Allah knows their secrets and their private talk, and that Allah is the Knower of all unseen things?

اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّع۪ينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ اِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْۜ سَخِرَ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُمْۘ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Allatheena yalmizoona almuttawwiAAeenamina almu/mineena fee assadaqati wallatheenala yajidoona illa juhdahum fayaskharoona minhumsakhira Allahu minhum walahum AAathabun aleem

As for the people who find fault with those muminun who give sadaqa spontaneously, and with those who can find nothing to give but their own effort, and deride them, Allah derides them. They will have a painful punishment.

اِسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ اَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْۜ اِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْع۪ينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ۟

You can ask forgiveness for them, or not ask forgiveness for them. Even if you asked forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah still would not forgive them. That is because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger. Allah does not guide deviant people.

فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَافَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَكَرِهُٓوا اَنْ يُجَاهِدُوا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَالُوا لَا تَنْفِرُوا فِي الْحَرِّۜ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ اَشَدُّ حَراًّۜ لَوْ كَانُوا يَفْقَهُونَ

Those who were left behind were glad to stay behind the Messenger of Allah. They did not want to do jihad with their wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah. They said, ‘Do not go out to fight in the heat.’ Say: ‘The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only understood.’

فَلْيَضْحَكُوا قَل۪يلاً وَلْيَبْكُوا كَث۪يراًۚ جَزَٓاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Falyadhakoo qaleelan walyabkookatheeran jazaan bima kanoo yaksiboon

Let them laugh little and weep much, in repayment for what they have earned.

فَاِنْ رَجَعَكَ اللّٰهُ اِلٰى طَٓائِفَةٍ مِنْهُمْ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوكَ لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُلْ لَنْ تَخْرُجُوا مَعِيَ اَبَداً وَلَنْ تُقَاتِلُوا مَعِيَ عَدُواًّۜ اِنَّكُمْ رَض۪يتُمْ بِالْقُعُودِ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَاقْعُدُوا مَعَ الْخَالِف۪ينَ

If Allah returns you to a group of them, and they ask you for permission to go out, say, ‘You will never go out with me, nor will you ever fight an enemy with me. You were happy to stay behind the first time, so stay behind with those who are left behind.’

وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلٰٓى اَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ اَبَداً وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلٰى قَبْرِه۪ۜ اِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Wala tusalli AAala ahadinminhum mata abadan wala taqum AAala qabrihiinnahum kafaroo billahi warasoolihi wamatoowahum fasiqoon

Never pray over any of them who die or stand at their graves. They rejected Allah and His Messenger and died as deviators.

وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَاَوْلَادُهُمْۜ اِنَّمَا يُر۪يدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ

Wala tuAAjibka amwaluhum waawladuhuminnama yureedu Allahu an yuAAaththibahum bihafee addunya watazhaqa anfusuhum wahum kafiroon

Do not let their wealth and their children impress you. Allah merely wants to punish them by them in this world, and for them to expire while they are kafirun.

وَاِذَٓا اُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ اَنْ اٰمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَجَاهِدُوا مَعَ رَسُولِهِ اسْتَأْذَنَكَ اُو۬لُوا الطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُوا ذَرْنَا نَكُنْ مَعَ الْقَاعِد۪ينَ

Wa-itha onzilat sooratun an aminoobillahi wajahidoo maAAa rasoolihi ista/thanakaoloo attawli minhum waqaloo tharnanakun maAAa alqaAAideen

When a sura is sent down saying: ‘Have iman in Allah and do jihad together with His Messenger, ’ those among them with wealth will ask you to excuse them, saying, ‘Let us remain with those who stay behind. ’

رَضُوا بِاَنْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِـعَ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

Radoo bi-an yakoonoo maAAa alkhawalifiwatubiAAa AAala quloobihim fahum layafqahoon

They are pleased to be with those who stay behind. Their hearts have been stamped so they do not understand.

لٰكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَعَهُ جَاهَدُوا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۜ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُۘ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Lakini arrasoolu wallatheenaamanoo maAAahu jahadoo bi-amwalihimwaanfusihim waola-ika lahumu alkhayratu waola-ikahumu almuflihoon

But the Messenger and those who have iman along with him have done jihad with their wealth and with themselves. They are the people who will have the good things. They are the ones who are successful.

اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُ۟

aAAadda Allahu lahum jannatintajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideenafeeha thalika alfawzu alAAatheem

Allah has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the great victory.

وَجَٓاءَ الْمُعَذِّرُونَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَبُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُۜ سَيُص۪يبُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Wajaa almuAAaththiroona minaal-aAArabi liyu/thana lahum waqaAAada allatheenakathaboo Allaha warasoolahu sayuseebu allatheenakafaroo minhum AAathabun aleem

The desert arabs came with their excuses asking for permission to stay, and those who lied to Allah and His Messenger stayed behind. A painful punishment will afflict those among them who are kafir.

لَيْسَ عَلَى الضُّعَفَٓاءِ وَلَا عَلَى الْمَرْضٰى وَلَا عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ مَا يُنْفِقُونَ حَرَجٌ اِذَا نَصَحُوا لِلّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ۜ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ مِنْ سَب۪يلٍۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌۙ

Nothing is held against the weak and sick nor against those who find nothing to spend, provided they are true to Allah and His Messenger – there is no way open against good-doers, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful –

وَلَا عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ اِذَا مَٓا اَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَٓا اَجِدُ مَٓا اَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِۖ تَوَلَّوْا وَاَعْيُنُهُمْ تَف۪يضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَناً اَلَّا يَجِدُوا مَا يُنْفِقُونَۜ

Wala AAala allatheena ithama atawka litahmilahum qulta la ajidu maahmilukum AAalayhi tawallaw waaAAyunuhum tafeedumina addamAAi hazanan alla yajidoo mayunfiqoon

nor is anything held against those who, when they came to you for you to provide them with mounts and you said, ‘I cannot find anything on which to mount you,’ turned away with their eyes overflowing with tears, overcome by grief at having nothing to give.

اِنَّمَا السَّب۪يلُ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ اَغْنِيَٓاءُۚ رَضُوا بِاَنْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِۙ وَطَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Innama assabeelu AAalaallatheena yasta/thinoonaka wahum aghniyaoradoo bi-an yakoonoo maAAa alkhawalifi watabaAAaAllahu AAala quloobihim fahum la yaAAlamoon

There are only grounds against those who ask you for permission to stay when they are rich. They were pleased to be among those who were left behind. Allah has sealed up their hearts so they do not know.

يَعْتَذِرُونَ اِلَيْكُمْ اِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ اِلَيْهِمْۜ قُلْ لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّاَنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ اَخْبَارِكُمْۜ وَسَيَرَى اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ اِلٰى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

They will make excuses to you when you return to them. Say: ‘Do not make excuses, we will not believe you. Allah has already informed us about you. Allah will see your actions, as will His Messenger. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, and He will inform you regarding what you did.’

سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ اِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْۜ فَاَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْۜ اِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌۘ وَمَأْوٰيهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۚ جَزَٓاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Sayahlifoona billahilakum itha inqalabtum ilayhim lituAAridoo AAanhumfaaAAridoo AAanhum innahum rijsun wama/wahumjahannamu jazaan bima kanoo yaksiboon

They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them, so that you leave them alone. Leave them alone, then! They are filth. Their shelter will be Hell as repayment for what they did.

يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْۚ فَاِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَرْضٰى عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ

Yahlifoona lakum litardawAAanhum fa-in tardaw AAanhum fa-inna Allaha layarda AAani alqawmi alfasiqeen

They will swear to you to make you pleased with them, but even if you are pleased with them, Allah is certainly not pleased with deviant people.

اَلْاَعْرَابُ اَشَدُّ كُفْراً وَنِفَاقاً وَاَجْدَرُ اَلَّا يَعْلَمُوا حُدُودَ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى رَسُولِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Al-aAArabu ashaddu kufran wanifaqanwaajdaru alla yaAAlamoo hudooda ma anzalaAllahu AAala rasoolihi wallahuAAaleemun hakeem

The desert arabs are more obdurate in kufr and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits which Allah has sent down to His Messenger. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنْفِقُ مَغْرَماً وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَٓائِرَۜ عَلَيْهِمْ دَٓائِرَةُ السَّوْءِۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

Wamina al-aAArabi man yattakhithuma yunfiqu maghraman wayatarabbasu bikumu addawa-iraAAalayhim da-iratu assaw-i wallahusameeAAun AAaleem

Among the desert arabs there are some who regard what they give as an imposition and are waiting for your fortunes to change. The evil turn of fortune will be theirs! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنْفِقُ قُرُبَاتٍ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَوَاتِ الرَّسُولِۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌ لَهُمْۜ سَيُدْخِلُهُمُ اللّٰهُ ف۪ي رَحْمَتِه۪ۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ۟

And among the desert arabs there are some who have iman in Allah and the Last Day and regard what they give as something which will bring them nearer to Allah and to the prayers of the Messenger. It does indeed bring them near. Allah will admit them into His mercy. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَالسَّابِقُونَ الْاَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِر۪ينَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِاِحْسَانٍۙ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي تَحْتَهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَٓا اَبَداًۜ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُ

The forerunners – the first of the Muhajirun and the Ansar – and those who have followed them in doing good: Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. That is the great victory.

وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مُنَافِقُونَۜ وَمِنْ اَهْلِ الْمَد۪ينَةِ مَرَدُوا عَلَى النِّفَاقِ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْۜ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْۜ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ اِلٰى عَذَابٍ عَظ۪يمٍۚ

Some of the desert Arabs around you are hypocrites and some of the people of Madina are obdurate in their hypocrisy. You do not know them but We know them. We will punish them twice over and then they will be returned to a terrible punishment.

وَاٰخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلاً صَالِحاً وَاٰخَرَ سَيِّئاًۜ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Waakharoona iAAtarafoo bithunoobihimkhalatoo AAamalan salihan waakharasayyi-an AAasa Allahu an yatooba AAalayhim inna Allahaghafoorun raheem

But others have acknowledged their wrong actions and mixed a right action with another which is wrong. It may well be that Allah will turn towards them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

خُذْ مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكّ۪يهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْۜ اِنَّ صَلٰوتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

Khuth min amwalihim sadaqatantutahhiruhum watuzakkeehim biha wasalliAAalayhim inna salataka sakanun lahum wallahusameeAAun AAaleem

Take zakat from their wealth to purify and cleanse them and pray for them. Your prayers bring relief to them. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِه۪ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقَاتِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ

Alam yaAAlamoo anna Allaha huwayaqbalu attawbata AAan AAibadihi waya/khuthuassadaqati waanna Allaha huwa attawwabuarraheem

Do they not know that Allah accepts tawba from His slaves and acknowledges their zakat, and that Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful?

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوا فَسَيَرَى اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَۜ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ اِلٰى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَۚ

Waquli iAAmaloo fasayara AllahuAAamalakum warasooluhu walmu/minoona wasaturaddoona ilaAAalimi alghaybi washshahadatifayunabbi-okum bima kuntum taAAmaloon

Say: ‘Act, for Allah will see your actions, and so will His Messenger and the muminun. You will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible and He will inform you regarding what you did.’

وَاٰخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِاَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَاِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Waakharoona murjawna li-amri Allahiimma yuAAaththibuhum wa-imma yatoobuAAalayhim wallahu AAaleemun hakeem

And others are left awaiting Allah’s command as to whether He will punish them or turn to them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا مَسْجِداً ضِرَاراً وَكُفْراً وَتَفْر۪يقاً بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَاِرْصَاداً لِمَنْ حَارَبَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ اِنْ اَرَدْنَٓا اِلَّا الْحُسْنٰىۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

Wallatheena ittakhathoomasjidan diraran wakufran watafreeqan baynaalmu/mineena wa-irsadan liman haraba Allahawarasoolahu min qablu walayahlifunna in aradna illaalhusna wallahu yashhadu innahum lakathiboon

As for those who have set up a mosque, causing harm and out of kufr, to create division between the muminun, and in readiness for those who previously made war on Allah and His Messenger, they will swear, ‘We only desired the best. ’ But Allah bears witness that they are truly liars.

لَا تَقُمْ ف۪يهِ اَبَداًۜ لَمَسْجِدٌ اُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوٰى مِنْ اَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَقُومَ ف۪يهِۜ ف۪يهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ اَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُواۜ وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّر۪ينَ

La taqum feehi abadan lamasjidunossisa AAala attaqwa min awwali yawmin ahaqquan taqooma feehi feehi rijalun yuhibboona an yatatahharoowallahu yuhibbu almuttahhireen

Do not ever stand in it. A mosque founded on taqwa from the first day has a greater right for you to stand in it. In it there are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loves those who purify themselves.

اَفَمَنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلٰى تَقْوٰى مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ اَمْ مَنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلٰى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِه۪ ف۪ي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Afaman assasa bunyanahu AAalataqwa mina Allahi waridwanin khayrunam man assasa bunyanahu AAala shafa jurufinharin fanhara bihi fee narijahannama wallahu la yahdee alqawma aththalimeen

Who is better: someone who founds his building on taqwa of Allah and His good pleasure, or someone who founds his building on the brink of a crumbling precipice so that it collapses with him into the Fire of Hell? Allah does not love wrongdoers.

لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَانُهُمُ الَّذ۪ي بَنَوْا ر۪يبَةً ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ حَك۪يمٌ۟

La yazalu bunyanuhumuallathee banaw reebatan fee quloobihim illa an taqattaAAaquloobuhum wallahu AAaleemun hakeem

The buildings they have built will not cease to be a bone of contention in their hearts, until their hearts are cut to shreds. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اشْتَرٰى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَمْوَالَهُمْ بِاَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَۜ يُقَاتِلُونَ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ وَعْداً عَلَيْهِ حَقاًّ فِي التَّوْرٰيةِ وَالْاِنْج۪يلِ وَالْقُرْاٰنِۜ وَمَنْ اَوْفٰى بِعَهْدِه۪ مِنَ اللّٰهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوا بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذ۪ي بَايَعْتُمْ بِه۪ۜ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُ

Allah has bought from the muminun their selves and their wealth in return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they kill and are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Injil and the Qur’an and who is truer to his contract than Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the great victory.

اَلتَّٓائِبُونَ الْعَابِدُونَ الْحَامِدُونَ السَّٓائِحُونَ الرَّاكِعُونَ السَّاجِدُونَ الْاٰمِرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّاهُونَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَالْحَافِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ اللّٰهِۜ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Those who make tawba, those who worship, those who praise, those who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate, those who command the right, those who forbid the wrong, those who preserve the limits of Allah: give good news to the muminun.

مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِك۪ينَ وَلَوْ كَانُٓوا اُو۬ل۪ي قُرْبٰى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُمْ اَصْحَابُ الْجَح۪يمِ

Ma kana linnabiyyi wallatheenaamanoo an yastaghfiroo lilmushrikeena walaw kanooolee qurba min baAAdi ma tabayyana lahum annahum as-habualjaheem

It is not right for the Prophet and those who have iman to ask forgiveness for the idolaters – even if they are close relatives – after it has become clear to them that they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.

وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ لِاَب۪يهِ اِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَٓا اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَـهُٓ اَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلّٰهِ تَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُۜ اِنَّ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ لَاَوَّاهٌ حَل۪يمٌ

Wama kana istighfaruibraheema li-abeehi illa AAan mawAAidatin waAAadahaiyyahu falamma tabayyana lahu annahu AAaduwwun lillahitabarraa minhu inna ibraheema laawwahun haleem

Ibrahim would not have asked forgiveness for his father but for a promise he made to him, and when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he renounced him. Ibrahim was tender-hearted and forbearing.

وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوْماً بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰيهُمْ حَتّٰى يُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَا يَتَّقُونَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

Wama kana Allahu liyudillaqawman baAAda ith hadahum hattayubayyina lahum ma yattaqoona inna Allaha bikullishay-in AAaleem

Allah would never misguide a people after guiding them until He had made it clear to them how to have taqwa. Allah has knowledge of all things.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ يُحْـي۪ وَيُم۪يتُۜ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ

Inna Allaha lahu mulku assamawatiwal-ardi yuhyee wayumeetu wama lakummin dooni Allahi min waliyyin wala naseer

Allah is He to whom the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs. He gives life and causes to die. You have no protector or helper besides Allah.

لَقَدْ تَابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَاجِر۪ينَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ ف۪ي سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَز۪يغُ قُلُوبُ فَر۪يقٍ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْۜ اِنَّهُ بِهِمْ رَؤُ۫فٌ رَح۪يمٌۙ

Laqad taba Allahu AAalaannabiyyi walmuhajireena wal-ansariallatheena ittabaAAoohu fee saAAati alAAusrati minbaAAdi ma kada yazeeghu quloobu fareeqin minhumthumma taba AAalayhim innahu bihim raoofun raheem

Allah has turned towards the Prophet, and the Muhajirun and the Ansar, those who followed him at the ‘time of difficulty’, after the hearts of a group of them had almost deviated. Then He turned towards them – He is All-Gentle, Most Merciful to them –

وَعَلَى الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذ۪ينَ خُلِّفُواۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّٓوا اَنْ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّٓا اِلَيْهِۜ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُواۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ۟

WaAAala aththalathatiallatheena khullifoo hatta itha daqatAAalayhimu al-ardu bima rahubat wadaqatAAalayhim anfusuhum wathannoo an la maljaamina Allahi illa ilayhi thumma tabaAAalayhim liyatooboo inna Allaha huwa attawwabuarraheem

and also towards the three who were left behind, * so that when the earth became narrow for them, for all its great breadth, and their own selves became constricted for them and they realised that there was no refuge from Allah except in Him, He turned to them so that they might turn to Him. Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِق۪ينَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooittaqoo Allaha wakoonoo maAAa assadiqeen

You who have iman! have taqwa of Allah and be with the truly sincere.

مَا كَانَ لِاَهْلِ الْمَد۪ينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ اَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَرْغَبُوا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَفْسِه۪ۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ لَا يُص۪يبُهُمْ ظَمَاٌ وَلَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَطَؤُ۫نَ مَوْطِئاً يَغ۪يظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَيْلاً اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ بِه۪ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُض۪يعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَۙ

Ma kana li-ahli almadeenatiwaman hawlahum mina al-aAArabi an yatakhallafooAAan rasooli Allahi wala yarghaboo bi-anfusihimAAan nafsihi thalika bi-annahum la yuseebuhumthamaon wala nasabun walamakhmasatun fee sabeeli Allahi wala yataoonamawti-an yagheethu alkuffara walayanaloona min AAaduwwin naylan illa kutiba lahumbihi AAamalun salihun inna Allaha layudeeAAu ajra almuhsineen

It was not for people of Madina, and the desert arabs around them, to remain behind the Messenger of Allah nor to prefer themselves to him. That is because no thirst or weariness or hunger will afflict them in the Way of Allah, nor will they take a single step to infuriate the kafirun, nor secure any gain from the enemy, without a right action being written down for them because of it. Allah does not let the wage of the good-doers go to waste.

وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَ نَفَقَةً صَغ۪يرَةً وَلَا كَب۪يرَةً وَلَا يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِياً اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Wala yunfiqoona nafaqatan sagheeratanwala kabeeratan wala yaqtaAAoona wadiyanilla kutiba lahum liyajziyahumu Allahu ahsanama kanoo yaAAmaloon

Nor will they give away any amount, whether large or small, nor will they cross any valley, without it being written down for them so that Allah can recompense them for the best of what they did.

وَمَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنْفِرُوا كَٓافَّةًۜ فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِنْهُمْ طَٓائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدّ۪ينِ وَلِيُنْذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ اِذَا رَجَعُٓوا اِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ۟

It is not necessary for the muminun to go out all together. If a party from each group of them were to go out so they could increase their knowledge of the deen they would be able to notify their people when they returned to them so that hopefully they would take warning!

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا قَاتِلُوا الَّذ۪ينَ يَلُونَكُمْ مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُوا ف۪يكُمْ غِلْظَةًۜ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooqatiloo allatheena yaloonakum mina alkuffariwalyajidoo feekum ghilthatan waAAlamoo annaAllaha maAAa almuttaqeen

You who have iman! fight those of the kuffar who are near to you and let them find you implacable. Know that Allah is with those who have taqwa.

وَاِذَا مَٓا اُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ اَيُّـكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هٰذِه۪ٓ ا۪يمَاناًۚ فَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا فَزَادَتْهُمْ ا۪يمَاناً وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

Wa-itha ma onzilat sooratunfaminhum man yaqoolu ayyukum zadat-hu hathihi eemananfaamma allatheena amanoo fazadat-humeemanan wahum yastabshiroon

Each time a sura is sent down there are some among them who say, ‘Which of you has this increased in iman?’ As for those who have iman, it increases them in iman and they rejoice at it.

وَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْساً اِلٰى رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ

Waamma allatheena feequloobihim maradun fazadat-hum rijsan ilarijsihim wamatoo wahum kafiroon

But as for those with sickness in their hearts, it adds defilement to their defilement, and they die kuffar.

اَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ ف۪ي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً اَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

Awa la yarawna annahum yuftanoonafee kulli AAamin marratan aw marratayni thumma layatooboona wala hum yaththakkaroon

Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in every year? But still they do not turn back. They do not pay heed.

وَاِذَا مَٓا اُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍۜ هَلْ يَرٰيكُمْ مِنْ اَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُواۜ صَرَفَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

Wa-itha ma onzilat sooratunnathara baAAduhum ila baAAdinhal yarakum min ahadin thumma insarafoo sarafaAllahu quloobahum bi-annahum qawmun la yafqahoon

Each time a sura is sent down, they look at one another, implying, ‘Can anyone see you?’ Then they turn away. Allah has turned their hearts away because they are people who do not understand.

لَقَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ عَز۪يزٌۘ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَر۪يصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ رَؤُ۫فٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Laqad jaakum rasoolun min anfusikumAAazeezun AAalayhi ma AAanittum hareesunAAalaykum bilmu/mineena raoofun raheem

A Messenger has come to you from among yourselves. Your suffering is distressing to him; he is deeply concerned for you; he is gentle and merciful to the muminun.

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُۘ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۜ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظ۪يمِ

Fa-in tawallaw faqul hasbiya Allahula ilaha illa huwa AAalayhi tawakkaltuwahuwa rabbu alAAarshi alAAatheem

But if they turn away, say, ‘Allah is enough for me. There is no god but Him. I have put my trust in Him. He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.’
