Translation of the Holy Quran by Dr. Gilani |
|
Repentance - Chapter 9 | Contains 129 Verses – Medina |
|
|
|
بَرَاءةٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى الَّذِينَ عَاهَدتُّم مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ |
|
1- |
This is a declaration from God and His Messenger for withdrawal
from all obligations and any agreement, with those parties of polytheists with whom you had made a treaty (and they kept on breaking the treaty of non-aggression). |
|
فَسِيحُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِي اللّهِ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ مُخْزِي الْكَافِرِينَ |
|
2- |
So (you idolaters) go about in the land
for four the months term, but be aware that you cannot escape from (the punishment of) God and God will bring disgrace on those who refuse the truth. |
|
وَأَذَانٌ
مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْحَجِّ
الأَكْبَرِ أَنَّ اللّهَ بَرِيءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ
فَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ |
|
3- |
And declaration from God and His Messenger
to mankind is given on this day of the Greatest pilgrimage (to
Mecca) that God disregards the idolaters, so does His messenger. So if you (idol worshippers) repent, it is better for you, but if you still turn away (from the truth), then know that you cannot escape the punishment by God and (O Muhammad) give to those who reject the truth, the news of a coming painful suffering. |
|
إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ عَاهَدتُّم مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنقُصُوكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يُظَاهِرُواْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدًا فَأَتِمُّواْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ إِلَى مُدَّتِهِمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ |
|
4- |
Except those of the idol worshippers with
whom you have a treaty and they subsequently did not violate any part of the treaty and did not support any one against you. So complete their treaty with them to the end of their term. Surely God loves the careful pious people. |
|
فَإِذَا
انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ
وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ
كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِن تَابُواْ |
|
5- |
Then when the (four) Sacred Months have
passed,
1 then kill the (treaty-breaking, attacking) idol worshippers wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit and wait for them on each and every ambush. But if they repent and do prayer and pay Zakat (charity dues), then leave them free on their way, as God is Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people). |
|
وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ كَلاَمَ اللّهِ ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
6- |
And if anyone of the idol worshippers
requests your help and protection, then grant him that, so that he may hear the Word of God (the Quran), then escort him to his safe place, this is because they (the idol-worshippers) are folks who do not know (any better and if they don't attack you, be kind to them). |
|
كَيْفَ
يَكُونُ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ عَهْدٌ عِندَ اللّهِ وَعِندَ رَسُولِهِ
إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ عَاهَدتُّمْ عِندَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ |
|
7- |
How could there be any treaty for the
idol worshippers with God and with His Messenger except those with whom you made a treaty near the Sacred Mosque. So as long as they stand true to you, then you stand true to them. Indeed, God loves careful pious people. |
|
كَيْفَ وَإِن يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ لاَ يَرْقُبُواْ فِيكُمْ إِلاًّ وَلاَ ذِمَّةً يُرْضُونَكُم بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَى قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ |
|
8- |
Also how (could there be any treaty) that
when they overpower you, they do not respect ties, neither by kinship nor by treaty obligation. With (deceitful) words of their mouth, they pacify you, but their hearts hate you and most of them are rebellious gangsters. |
|
اشْتَرَوْاْ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ إِنَّهُمْ سَاء مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
9- |
They bartered away the Verses of God for a
little (worldly) gain, then they hindered others from His Way;
evil indeed is what they have been doing. |
|
لاَ يَرْقُبُونَ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ إِلاًّ وَلاَ ذِمَّةً وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُونَ |
|
10- |
They respect no ties either by kinship, nor
by treaty with a believer and they are really the aggressors and trespassers. |
|
فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُاْ الزَّكَاةَ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَنُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
11- |
Yet if they repent, perform regular
prayer and pay Zakat (charity dues), then they are as your
brothers in religion and We explain the Verses in detail for people who (have the ability to) know the truth (who will understand). |
|
وَإِن نَّكَثُواْ أَيْمَانَهُم مِّن بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُواْ فِي دِينِكُمْ فَقَاتِلُواْ أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لاَ أَيْمَانَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنتَهُونَ |
|
12- |
But if they violate their oaths after their
promise and treaty and insult your religion, then fight and campaign against the leaders of the faithlessness and disbelief, since they have really no faith and respect (for their own pledges and oaths), so that they may stop (the nonsense). |
|
أَلاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُواْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِإِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَؤُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ فَاللّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤُمِنِينَ |
|
13- |
Why shouldn't you fight against a group (of Mecca pagans) who
have violated their oaths and made much effort to expel the Messenger (Muhammad from Mecca) and they started the fight and attacks in the first place? Are you afraid of them? But God is the most correct Authority that you should be in awe of Him and be afraid of disobeying Him, if you are real believers. |
|
قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ |
|
14- |
Fight against them, that way God will
punish them by your hands and disgrace them and aid you to overcome them and relieve and heal the anguish in hearts of the believers |
|
وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَيَتُوبُ اللّهُ عَلَى مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ |
|
15- |
And remove the anger of their hearts (the
believers' hearts) and God accepts the repentance of whom He wants (who deserves God's Mercy by repentance) and God is All-knowing, All-Wise |
|
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تُتْرَكُواْ وَلَمَّا
يَعْلَمِ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ جَاهَدُواْ مِنكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُواْ |
|
16- |
Do you think that you shall be left alone
and God would not make known those of you who have worked hard (in the Way of God) and fought and did not take intimate confidents other than God, His Messenger and the believers? And (know that) God is All Aware of what you do. |
|
مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يَعْمُرُواْ مَسَاجِدَ الله شَاهِدِينَ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ أُوْلَئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ وَفِي النَّارِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ |
|
17- |
It is not for the polytheist pagans to repair or
maintain the Mosques of God, while they inside themselves, insist on
disbelief. Those are the kind of people whose efforts will be worthless and they will remain forever in Hellfire. |
|
إِنَّمَا
يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ
وَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ |
|
18- |
The Mosques of God should be repaired and
maintained only by those who believe in God and in the Hereafter
and who perform regular prayers and give Zakat (charity-dues) and are not in awe or worship of anyone except God, such people may hope to be among the truly guided persons. |
|
أَجَعَلْتُمْ
سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ
آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ |
|
19- |
Do you consider that providing drinking water
for the pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque (Kaaba in Mecca) to be equal in value to the efforts of a person who believes in God and the last Day (of Judgment) and strives hard and fights in the Cause of God? They are not equal before God. And God does not guide the unjust and oppressors (those who oppress the truth in themselves or others). |
|
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَاهَدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ اللّهِ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ |
|
20- |
Those who have believed and emigrated and
strove hard and fought for the Cause of God with their wealth and their own beings, are of greater degree and standing before God and those are the real successful people. |
|
يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُم بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَجَنَّاتٍ لَّهُمْ فِيهَا نَعِيمٌ مُّقِيمٌ |
|
21- |
Their Lord gives them good news of Mercy
from Him and the news of His being pleased with them and of Gardens (of Paradise) full of lasting bliss (for them), |
|
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا إِنَّ اللّهَ عِندَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ |
|
22- |
In which they will remain forever. Indeed, with God is a great reward. |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ آبَاءكُمْ وَإِخْوَانَكُمْ أَوْلِيَاء إَنِ اسْتَحَبُّواْ الْكُفْرَ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ |
|
23- |
O you who believe, do not take and do not consider as allies your fathers nor your brothers, if they prefer and tend towards disbelief rather than Faith (in the One God, the Hereafter and the Messengers) and whoever of you aligns with them, then those are oppressors (also). |
|
قُلْ إِن
كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ
وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ |
|
24- |
Say: "If your fathers, your sons, your
brothers, your
spouses, your tribe and the worldly belongings that you have gained and the business, the decline of which you worry and the homes and dwellings in which you are delighted with, are dearer to you than God and His Messenger and striving and fighting in His Cause, then wait to see until God brings His Command (of punishment). And God does not guide disobedient people." |
|
لَقَدْ
نَصَرَكُمُ اللّهُ فِي مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْ
أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ |
|
25- |
Indeed God helped you (to victory) on
many battlefields and also on the (Battle- day) Day of Hanayn
(a valley between Mecca and Taif), when you were happy and pleased with your great number, but it was not at all enough for you and the earth despite its vastness, appeared narrow to you, then you turned back, retreating. |
|
ثُمَّ أَنَزلَ اللّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعذَّبَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَذَلِكَ جَزَاء الْكَافِرِينَ |
|
26- |
Then God sent down a calmness and inner peace to His Messenger
and upon the believers and sent down (angelic) forces which you could not see and punished hard the disbelievers; and such is the penalty on the disbelievers. |
|
ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللّهُ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
|
27- |
Then after all this, God accepts the
repentance from and turns His Mercy towards whom He wills; for God is Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people). |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلاَ
يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَذَا |
|
28- |
O you who believe, indeed the pagans
(polytheists, idol worshippers) are impure and unclean, therefore they should not get close to the Sacred Mosque after this year and if you are worried about any financial hardship (because they won't be coming to spend money), then know that God will enrich you of His Bounty, if He wills; because God is Truly All Knowing, All Wise. 3 |
|
قَاتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
بِاللّهِ وَلاَ بِالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَلاَ يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ
اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلاَ يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ |
|
29- |
Fight against those who don't believe in
God, nor in the Last Day (of Judgment), nor forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden and do not have the Religion of Truth (belief in the One God-Islam) from among the people of Scripture (Jews, Christians etc) until they pay their special (protection) tax willingly and while they are being subdued. |
|
وَقَالَتِ
الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللّهِ وَقَالَتْ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ
ابْنُ اللّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُم |
|
30- |
And the Jews said: "Ezra is the son of
God" and the Christians said: "Jesus the Messiah is the son of God". This is their baseless saying by their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved before (ancient Greeks , Romans etc). Curse of God will be upon them, for the stories they make up and turn away from the truth. 4 |
|
اتَّخَذُواْ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا أُمِرُواْ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُواْ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
|
31- |
They (Jews and Christians) assumed their
rabbis and their monks as their lords (patron saints!) besides
God, and (they also took even) the Messiah, son of Mary as their lord, whereas they were commanded that they should not worship anyone except the One and Only True God. There is no one worthy of worship except He. He is beyond all that they imagine and associate partners to Him. |
|
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ |
|
32- |
They (the disbelievers) want to
extinguish the Light (and Glory) of God with their mouths (by lying against the One and Only God), but God will not allow except that His Light will be widespread all over, even though the disbelievers dislike (the Truth of the Oneness of God). |
|
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ |
|
33- |
He is One, who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with
guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it shine over all creeds and religions although the polytheists (who assume others as their lord), hate (Islam) |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الأَحْبَارِ
وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ |
|
34- |
O you who believe, in fact many of the
rabbis and monks (priests and pastors) devour the wealth of
mankind wrongly and they hinder (people by their wrong teaching and spending) from the Way of God. And those who hoard up gold and silver (money which is due to charity and was not paid to them) and do not spend them in the Way of God, announce unto them a painful punishment (to come), 5 |
|
يَوْمَ يُحْمَى عَلَيْهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ هَذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ |
|
35- |
On the Day (of Reckoning) when that
(hoarded treasure) will be heated in the Hell Fire and with it will be branded their foreheads, their sides (their flanks) and their backs. (It will be made understood): "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so now taste the result of what you had been hoarding." |
|
إِنَّ عِدَّةَ
الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللّهِ
يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَات وَالأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ
ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلاَ تَظْلِمُواْ |
|
36- |
In fact the member of months by God is twelve months (in a your),
ordained in God's Decision, at the time when He created the heavens and the earth; of which four of them are Sacred months (times for more intensive meditation and worship, avoiding wars). This is the upright religion, so do not wrong yourselves during those times, but do fight the polytheists (if they attacked you), united and collectively, as they fight against you collectively and know that God is with the careful pious people. |
|
إِنَّمَا
النَّسِيءُ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ يُحِلِّونَهُ عَامًا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا
لِّيُوَاطِؤُواْ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّهُ فَيُحِلُّواْ |
|
37- |
The (pagan way of) postponing (of a
sacred month) is indeed an addition to (the rituals of)
disbelief: thereby the disbelievers are led astray, they make it lawful one year and make it forbidden another year, to manipulate the number of months, forbidden by God, so they make it (look) lawful what God has for bidden (to change the order of the months). The evil aspect of their acts seems fair to them, and God does not guide the people who disbelieve the truth. |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُواْ فِي
سَبِيلِ اللّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ |
|
38- |
O you who believe, what is the matter
with you that when you are told to march forward in the Cause of God (for defense), you weigh heavily on earth? Are you pleased with the life of this lowly world rather than the Hereafter? But the enjoyment of life of this world is only little compared to the life in the Hereafter. |
|
إِلاَّ تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلاَ تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئًا وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ |
|
39- |
If you do not march forth (to defensive
war), He will punish you with a painful torment and He will replace you by another people and you can not cause any harm to Him and God is Powerful-Determinant over all things. |
|
إِلاَّ
تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ
لِصَاحِبِهِ لاَ تَحْزَنْ |
|
40- |
If you do not help him (Muhammad, in the
defense, you should know that), indeed God helped him when the disbelievers drove him out (of Mecca, to flee), he was one of the two persons, while they were in the cave (where they were hiding from the disbelievers who wanted to kill the prophet), at which time he said to his companion (Abubakr): "Don't be sad, God is with us". Then God sent down His peace and calmness upon him (the prophet) and strengthened him by (angelic) forces which you could not see and He put down the word of the disbelievers to the lowest level by defeating them and the Word of God, is absolutely the Highest. And God is All Powerful Invincible, Most Wise. |
|
انْفِرُواْ خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا وَجَاهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ |
|
41- |
Go on to fight for the Cause of God, heavily
or lightly armed, (whether it is easy or difficult,) with your material possessions and with your lives. This is better for your own good, if you but knew it. |
|
لَوْ كَانَ
عَرَضًا قَرِيبًا وَسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لاَّتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَكِن
بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ |
|
42- |
Had there been a near (battle with) gain and
an easy journey, they would have followed you (Muhammad), but the distance (in the Tabuk expedition) was too far for them and (after you returned,) they would swear by God: "If we only could, we would have certainly come out with you." They destroy their personalities (by this false swearing) and God knows that indeed they are lying. |
|
عَفَا اللّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَتَعْلَمَ الْكَاذِبِينَ |
|
43- |
God forgave you (O Muhammad). Why did you allow them to leave? (To stay behind, you should have persisted that they come along to fight,) until those who told the truth would become evident for you if they are telling the truth (they can or cannot come to fight along with you) and that you would know the liars. |
|
لاَ يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ أَن يُجَاهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالْمُتَّقِينَ |
|
44- |
Those who believe in God and in the Last
Day (of Judgment) would not ask your permission to be exempted from fighting with their possessions and their lives and God is All Knowing (has full knowledge) of the God-conscious pious ones. |
|
إِنَّمَا يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَارْتَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي رَيْبِهِمْ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ |
|
45- |
In fact only those who do not really
believe in God and the Last Day (of Judgment) and whose hearts are in doubt, they are the ones who ask you for your permission to be excused and then they go back and forth in their doubt (if they did the right thing or not). |
|
وَلَوْ أَرَادُواْ الْخُرُوجَ لأَعَدُّواْ لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلَكِن كَرِهَ اللّهُ انبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ اقْعُدُواْ مَعَ الْقَاعِدِينَ |
|
46- |
And if they had intended to march out
(with you), they would certainly have made some preparation for
it, but God (because of their doubt and mental uneasiness) was against their deployment, so He caused them to hold back and lag behind and it was said: "You stay and sit behind with those (others) who stay at home." |
|
لَوْ خَرَجُواْ فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمْ إِلاَّ خَبَالًا ولأَوْضَعُواْ خِلاَلَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ |
|
47- |
If they had marched with you, they would
have added nothing to you but disorder and they would have hurried between your companions trying to cause discord (and mutiny) and among you there are some who would have even listened to them (to hear news as spies) and God has full knowledge of the evildoers. |
|
لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُاْ الْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُواْ لَكَ الأُمُورَ حَتَّى جَاء الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ اللّهِ وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ |
|
48- |
Indeed they plotted rebellion before and
had upset matters for you, till the truth (of victory) came and the Command and will of God became Manifest (by the victory of Islam), all the while they (the hypocrites) have hated it. |
|
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ ائْذَن لِّي وَلاَ تَفْتِنِّي أَلاَ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُواْ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ |
|
49- |
And among them, one would say: "Allow me
leave (exempt me from fight) and do not put me on trial". but know that they have already fallen in to trial and surely the Hell will surround the disbelievers. |
|
إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْ قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ |
|
50- |
If any good happens to you, it makes them
sad and if a misfortune hits you, they would say: "We took our precaution beforehand." And they turn away, being happy. |
|
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلاَنَا وَعَلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
51- |
Say: "Nothing ever happens to us, except
whatever God has decreed for us. He is our Lord Guardian and in God should the believers trust." |
|
قُلْ هَلْ
تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَا إِلاَّ إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ وَنَحْنُ
نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَن |
|
52- |
Say: "Are you expecting on us anything
other than one of two best conclusions (martyrdom or victory)? while we are awaiting on you either that God will hit you with a punishment from Himself or by our hands. So you wait, we are also waiting with you." |
|
قُلْ أَنفِقُواْ طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ |
|
53- |
Say: "If you spend (money with your
hypocrisy) willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted
from you. Indeed you are a rebellious gang". |
|
وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَاتُهُمْ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِاللّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ وَلاَ يَأْتُونَ الصَّلاَةَ إِلاَّ وَهُمْ كُسَالَى وَلاَ يُنفِقُونَ إِلاَّ وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ |
|
54- |
And the reason that their contributions
were not accepted from them, was none other than that they disbelieved in God and in His Messenger and that they come to prayer only in a lazy and tired manner. And they do not contribute except unwillingly. |
|
فَلاَ تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلاَ أَوْلاَدُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ |
|
55- |
So their wealth and children should not
amaze you. In reality, God intends to punish them by these means during their life in this world and their souls shall depart (their bodies) while they are still disbelieving (denying the truth). |
|
وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَفْرَقُونَ |
|
56- |
And they swear by God that they are
really of you, not so, they do not belong to you, but they are a different kind of people who are afraid (of you). |
|
لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَأً أَوْ مَغَارَاتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْاْ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ |
|
57- |
Should they find a refuge, a cave or any place to flee into, they would turn straightaway into it in a rush. |
|
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُواْ مِنْهَا رَضُواْ وَإِن لَّمْ يُعْطَوْاْ مِنهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ |
|
58- |
And of them are some who accuse you
(Muhammad, of unfairness in the distribution) of the charity;
If they are given of that, they are pleased, but if they are not given of it, they become very angry. |
|
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوْاْ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللّهِ رَاغِبُونَ |
|
59- |
But if only they would have been happy
with what God and His Messenger had already given them and would have said: "God is Sufficient for us, God will give us of His plenty, and so will His Messenger (from charity) and we look forward for God's Help." (it would have been better for them) |
|
إِنَّمَا
الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاء وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ
عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ |
|
60- |
Indeed the offerings for the sake of God
are meant only for the poor, the needy and those employed to collect and distribute them and to attract the hearts of those inclined (to Islam) and to free slaves and captives and for those in difficult debt and for the Cause of God (to defend Islam) and for the traveler (run out of means); this is a duty ordained by God and God is All Knowing, All Wise. |
|
وَمِنْهُمُ
الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ وَيِقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ قُلْ
أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ
لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
61- |
And among them are men who bother and
annoy the prophet (Muhammad), saying: "He is all ear (listening to everybody)." Say (yes): "He is all ear (listening carefully) which is best for you, he believes in God and trusts the believers and he is a mercy (from God) to those of you who truly believe." And those who hurt the Messenger of God, will have a painful suffering. |
|
يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَاللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
62- |
They the hypocrites swear by God to you
(Muslims) to please you, but God and His Messenger should rather have been on their mind, so as to please Him if they really were believers. |
|
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّهُ مَن يُحَادِدِ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَأَنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِيهَا ذَلِكَ الْخِزْيُ الْعَظِيمُ |
|
63- |
Don't they know that whoever opposes God and
His Messenger, there is certainly the Fire of Hell in store for him, in which he will be a permanent resident that is a great humiliation and disgrace. |
|
يَحْذَرُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا فِي قُلُوبِهِم قُلِ اسْتَهْزِئُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ |
|
64- |
The hypocrites fear that a chapter (of the
Quran) be revealed against them, warning them of (the evil
thoughts) that are in their hearts. Say (to them): ” (Go ahead and) make fun, but certainly God will bring about that which you fear.” |
|
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ قُلْ أَبِاللّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ |
|
65- |
And when you question them (about their
sarcastic behavior), they would say: ”We were doing small talk and joking”. Say (to them): "Are you making fun of God, the Verses (of the Quran) and His messenger? ”, |
|
لاَ تَعْتَذِرُواْ قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٍ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآئِفَةً بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ مُجْرِمِينَ |
|
66- |
“Don’t make excuses; you behaved in
disbelief after you have had believed. If We pardon some of you (if you repent), We shall punish some others of you, because they have been trouble-makers”. |
|
الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّن بَعْضٍ
يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ |
|
67- |
The hypocrites, men and women, some are
(supporters) of others; they enjoin (on people) to do evil and hinder from doing good and they hold their hands tightly closed (so they won't give charity), they have forgotten God, so God has disregarded them also. The hypocrites indeed are the rebellious trouble-makers. |
|
وَعَدَ الله الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتِ وَالْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا هِيَ حَسْبُهُمْ وَلَعَنَهُمُ اللّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ |
|
68- |
God has promised the hypocrites, men and
women and the disbelievers, the fire of Hell, in which they will
stay forever. That will be sufficient for them and God cursed them (away from His Mercy) and they will get a lasting punishment. |
|
كَالَّذِينَ
مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُواْ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ
أَمْوَالًا وَأَوْلاَدًا فَاسْتَمْتَعُواْ بِخَلاقِهِمْ
فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلاَقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ |
|
69- |
Like those before you, they (the hypocrites
and the disbelievers of the past) were even mightier than you in
power and had more in wealth and children and they enjoyed their way of life for a while, so you are enjoying your way for a while like those who did before you, and you indulged also like they did in pastime, nonsense and fun. But those are the ones whose efforts and deeds became void in this world and in the Hereafter and they are the losers. |
|
أَلَمْ
يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ
وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وِأَصْحَابِ مَدْيَنَ |
|
70- |
Has the story of those before them not
reached them? Of the people of Noah, Ad, Thamood and the people of Abraham and the dwellers of Madyan and those towns overthrown (where Prophet Lot preached)? Their Messengers (of God) came to them with clear evidences and proofs (of the oneness of God). Thereafter (when they went wrong), it was not God, Who would wrong them, but it was they who had wronged themselves (by their wrong attitudes and behavior). |
|
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ
يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ
وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ |
|
71- |
(Contrary to them,) The believers, men and
women, some are close friends-supporters of each others, they enjoin the people to do good and hinder from evil acts, they keep up with regular prayers and give Zakat (charity dues) and they obey God and His Messenger. God will have Mercy on them. Surely God is Almighty, All Wise. |
|
وَعَدَ اللّهُ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا
الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَمَسَاكِنَ طَيِّبَةً |
|
72- |
God has promised the believing men and
believing women gardens (in Paradise) below which rivers flow, in there they will stay forever and nice mansions in the gardens of Everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the satisfaction from God (about His servants). That is the supreme success and achievement. |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ |
|
73- |
O Prophet (Muhammad), strive hard against
the disbelievers and hypocrites and be harsh against them;
their stay will be in Hell and it is a such an evil destination. |
|
يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ مَا قَالُواْ
وَلَقَدْ قَالُواْ كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُواْ بَعْدَ
إِسْلاَمِهِمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُواْ وَمَا نَقَمُواْ
إِلاَّ أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ |
|
74- |
They swear by God that they did not say
anything wrong, but indeed they did say the word of disbelief
and they disbelieved after accepting Islam and they made efforts on (the murder of Prophet Muhammad) which they did not succeed and they committed (these hostilities) despite the fact that God and His Messenger enriched them of His Bounty (material and spiritual enrichment). So if they repent, it shall be better for them and if they turn away; God will punish them with a painful suffering in this world and in the Hereafter. And there is no one on earth to be a protector or a supporter for them. |
|
وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَاهَدَ اللّهَ لَئِنْ آتَانَا مِن فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ |
|
75- |
And of them, there are some who promised
God that: "If He would grant us His bounty, we will definitely give charity and be among the righteous good people.” |
|
فَلَمَّا آتَاهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُواْ بِهِ وَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ |
|
76- |
But then when He gave them of His bounty,
they became stingy (refusing to spend in charity) and turned away, avoiding (their promise). |
|
فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَا أَخْلَفُواْ اللّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْذِبُونَ |
|
77- |
As a result, He persecuted them with
suffering from confusion and hypocrisy in their hearts, till the Day when they shall meet Him, because they broke the promise and vow which they had made with God and because they had been lying (all along). |
|
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ |
|
78- |
Don’t they know that God knows their
secret ideas and their secret whispering conversations and that God is the All Knower of all unseen. |
|
الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِلاَّ جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ اللّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
|
79- |
Those who speak against the believers who
give charities and against those who can not find much to give except their efforts (in the Cause of God) and so they make fun of them, God will throw back their mockery on them and they will have a painful suffering. |
|
اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِن تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغْفِرَ اللّهُ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ |
|
80- |
Whether you (Muhammad) ask forgiveness
for them or not, even if you ask seventy times for their
forgiveness, God will not forgive them, because they have disbelieved in God and His messenger. And God does not guide the rebellious, trouble-making people. |
|
فَرِحَ
الْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلاَفَ رَسُولِ اللّهِ وَكَرِهُواْ
أَن يُجَاهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ |
|
81- |
Those who stayed behind on their seats (not going along to the defensive war of Tabuk),
contrary to the advice of the Messenger of God, were happy staying behind and they hated to strive and fight with their wealth and their lives in the Cause of God and said: “Don’t march in the heat”. Say: "The Fire of Hell is more intense in heat”, if they only could understand it. |
|
فَلْيَضْحَكُواْ قَلِيلًا وَلْيَبْكُواْ كَثِيرًا جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ |
|
82- |
So (now) they can laugh a little, but they will
be weeping and crying a lot as a consequence of what they had been earning (by committing sins). |
|
فَإِن
رَّجَعَكَ اللّهُ إِلَى طَآئِفَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوكَ
لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخْرُجُواْ مَعِيَ أَبَدًا وَلَن |
|
83- |
So if God brings you back to a party of
them (the hypocrites) and then they ask your permission to go
out (to fight), say:’ You will never go out with me, nor will you ever fight an enemy with me. You really were happy to sit (idle) the first time, so keep sitting with those who stayed behind”. |
|
وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَىَ قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ |
|
84- |
And (O Muhammad) never pray for anyone of
them who dies and do not stand at his grave (to pray). They indeed disbelieved in God and in His Prophet and they died while they were rebellious disobedient trouble-makers. |
|
وَلاَ تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَأَوْلاَدُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ |
|
85- |
And don’t let their properties and
children amaze you (in admiration), God certainly intends to punish them by those things in this world and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers. |
|
وَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ أَنْ آمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَجَاهِدُواْ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ اسْتَأْذَنَكَ أُوْلُواْ الطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُواْ ذَرْنَا نَكُن مَّعَ الْقَاعِدِينَ |
|
86- |
And when a chapter (of the Quran) is
revealed that you should believe in God and strive hard and fight along with His Messenger, the able-bodied wealthy ones of them asked you of exemption and they said: “Leave us behind, to be with those sitting back (at home)." |
|
رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ |
|
87- |
They are happy to stay with those (the
women and children) who stayed behind (at home). Their hearts are sealed (not allowing any good advice to enter), so they don’t understand (the importance of guidance and to defend the society). |
|
لَكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ جَاهَدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ وَأُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ |
|
88- |
But the Messenger (Muhammad) and those
who believed with him strove hard and defended (the Muslims) with their possessions and their lives and those are the ones, for whom there will be good futures and those are the real successful achievers. |
|
أَعَدَّ اللّهُ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ |
|
89- |
God has already made ready for them; Gardens
(of Paradise) below which rivers and streams flow, they will dwell in there forever. That is the supreme success and achievement. |
|
وَجَاء الْمُعَذِّرُونَ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
|
90- |
And those who made excuses from among the
Bedouin Arabs (of the desert), came (to you Muhammad) to be exempted (from the defensive battle) and those who told lies to God and His Messenger, sat (at home) also. Those among them, who disbelieved and were hiding the truth, a painful suffering will hit them. |
|
لَّيْسَ
عَلَى الضُّعَفَاء وَلاَ عَلَى الْمَرْضَى وَلاَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ
لاَ يَجِدُونَ مَا يُنفِقُونَ |
|
91- |
There is no blame or hardship intended for the
weak or sick persons, or for those who do not find any resources to spend (in the Cause of God), when they are sincere and true to God and His Messenger. (Of course) there is no blame on good acting people and God is the Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people). |
|
وَلاَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَا أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لاَ أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّواْ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلاَّ يَجِدُواْ مَا يُنفِقُونَ |
|
92- |
There is no blame or hardship also on those who came to
you to be provided with some ride to carry them (to battle), to whom you said: “I don’t find any means of transportation to carry you on (now),” whereupon they turned back and their eyes were overflowing with tears, in sorrow and sadness, because they did not have or could find the means to spend (in the cause of God). |
|
إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ أَغْنِيَاء رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ اللّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
93- |
Of course, blame is only on those who ask
you for exemption while they are rich and resourceful. They are just happy to be with those (women and children) left behind and God placed seal on their hearts (because of their unwillingness), so they don't know (what they are missing). |
|
يَعْتَذِرُونَ
إِلَيْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ قُل لاَّ تَعْتَذِرُواْ
لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا اللّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ
وَسَيَرَى |
|

They (the hypocrites) will present
excuses to you (Muslims) when you return (from the battle) to
them. Say: "Don't make excuses, we will never believe you. God has indeed informed us of your news. God and His Messenger will observe your behavior. After all that, you will be brought (after death) to the All Knower of the unseen and the visible, He will then inform you of what you had been doing". |
|
سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ |
|
95- |
They will swear to God for you when you
return to them, to leave them alone. So leave them alone (for good). Certainly they are evil impure and their destination is Hell, as the consequence of what they used to earn (in evil deeds). |
|
يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْاْ عَنْهُمْ فَإِن تَرْضَوْاْ عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَرْضَى عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ |
|
96- |
They (the hypocrites) swear to you
(Muslims) that you will be pleased with them, but then even if you become pleased with them, God is not pleased with the disobedient people. |
|
الأَعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَنِفَاقًا وَأَجْدَرُ أَلاَّ يَعْلَمُواْ حُدُودَ مَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ |
|
97- |
The (hypocrites of the) Bedouin Arabs are
the most intense in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely to ignore the limits (of Law) that God has revealed to His Messenger and God is All Knowing, All Wise. |
|
وَمِنَ الأَعْرَابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَائِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ دَآئِرَةُ السَّوْءِ وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ |
|
98- |
And from among the Bedouin Arabs, there are some
who perceives what he spends (in God's Cause,) as a fine and expectantly wishes cycles of calamities for you. To them shall be the vicious cycles of evil (thought and evil behavior). And God is All Hearing, All Knowing (of thoughts, behaviors and their interactions). |
|
وَمِنَ
الأَعْرَابِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ
مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَاتٍ عِندَ اللّهِ وَصَلَوَاتِ الرَّسُولِ |
|
99- |
Also from among the Bedouin Arabs, are
those who believe in God and the Last Day (of Judgment) and look upon what they spend (in the Cause of God) as means of nearness to God and a cause of well-wishing prayers by the Messenger. Indeed these (offerings and prayers) are a means of nearness (to God) for them. God shall admit them in to His Mercy. Certainly God is Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people) |
|
وَالسَّابِقُونَ الأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنصَارِ
وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ رَّضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمْ
وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي |
|
100- |
As for the first forerunners of the
emigrants (from Mecca, because of persecution against the Muslims by the polytheists) and as for the helpers (in Medina who accepted and gave aid to the Muslims there) and those who followed taking care of them with kindness, God is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him and He has prepared Gardens (of Paradise) for them, blow which streams and rivers flow, in which they will dwell forever. That is the supreme success and achievement. |
|
وَمِمَّنْ
حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ الأَعْرَابِ مُنَافِقُونَ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ
الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُواْ |
|
101- |
And from among the Bedouin Arabs around
you (Muslims) there are hypocrites and from some of the people of Medina, there are those who persist in hypocrisy. You do not know them. We know them and We shall punish them twice (in their lifetime). Then they will be brought back for a horrible suffering. |
|
وَآخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُواْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُواْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى اللّهُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
|
102- |
And there are others who confessed their
sins; they had mixed up their good actions with some bad ones.
May be God will turn unto them in forgiveness. God is certainly Very Forgiving, the Most Merciful (to good people) |
|
خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ صَلاَتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ |
|
103- |
Accept from their property alms (for the
poor) to purify them and cleanse them with it and pray for them.
Indeed your prayer (for them) is a means of tranquility for them and God is All Hearer (of all prayers), All Knowing. |
|
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقَاتِ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ |
|
104- |
Don't they know that God is the One Who
accepts apology and repentance from His servants and accepts alms-charity (as good deeds to poor people) and that He is really the One Repentance-Accepter, Most Merciful (to good people)? |
|
وَقُلِ اعْمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى اللّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
105- |
And (O Muhammad) say: "Keep on doing, God will see your acts and also His Messenger
and the believers will see that. And you will be brought back to the All Knower of all the unseen and the visible (on the Judgment Day). He will them inform you of what you had been doing. |
|
وَآخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَإِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ |
|
106- |
And there are others, who are destined to
wait for the Command of God, whether He will punish them or turn unto them with forgiveness. And God is All Knowing, All Wise. |
|
وَالَّذِينَ
اتَّخَذُواْ مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقًا بَيْنَ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ |
|
107- |
As for those who put up a mosque with the
intention to cause harm (in the society) and disbelief and disunity among the believers (by double talk) and as an outpost for those who had been warring against God ('s religion) and His Messenger from before and they even swear that: "We have no intention other than goodness", and God knows and witnesses that they are indeed the liars. |
|
لاَ تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًا لَّمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُواْ وَاللّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِينَ |
|
108- |
Never, ever set foot in such a place and do
not stand, nor pray in it. A mosque that was founded on day one upon piety and God-consciousness is more worthy that you set foot in it (to perform prayers), in which there are men who like to purify themselves (and others) and God loves those who purify themselves (physically and spiritually). |
|
أَفَمَنْ
أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى تَقْوَى مِنَ اللّهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ
أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ |
|
109- |
Is a person who lays the foundation of
his being on solid God-consciousness and piety and His good
acceptance, better or the one who lays the foundation of his being at the edge of a crumbling weak slope, so he tumbles with it (and because of it) down into the Fire of Hell? And God does not guide those who do wrong (on purpose). |
|
لاَ يَزَالُ بُنْيَانُهُمُ الَّذِي بَنَوْاْ رِيبَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلاَّ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ |
|
110- |
The building that they built will not
cease to be a source of doubt within their hearts until their hearts are cut into pieces (of anxiety, confusion, instability or until they die). And God is All Knowing (of all, including human psyche and its process), All Wise. |
|
إِنَّ اللّهَ
اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُم بِأَنَّ
لَهُمُ الجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ
وَيُقْتَلُونَ |
|
111- |
Indeed God buys from the believers, (the offer of) their lives and their possessions (in
His Cause) that the Paradise will be their (home). They (such believers) fight in the Cause of God, so they kill (the attackers) and they are killed. This is a promise in truth that He has willed upon Himself, (which is mentioned) in the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran. And who could be more faithful to his promise than God? So be informed of the good news of the result of the deal that you made with God and that is the great success. |
|
التَّائِبُونَ
الْعَابِدُونَ الْحَامِدُونَ السَّائِحُونَ الرَّاكِعُونَ
السَّاجِدونَ |
|
112- |
(The believers are) Those who turn (to God) repeatedly,
worshipping (Him), praising (Him) on and on and they observe fasting, bow down (in prayer), put their foreheads on ground (in prayer), encourage and enjoin people to goodness and hinder from evil behavior, observe the limits of Law that God has set and so give good news to (such) believers. |
|
مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُواْ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُواْ أُوْلِي قُرْبَى مِن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ |
|
113- |
It is not proper for the prophet and
those who believe to ask God's forgiveness for idol worshippers
(polytheists) even if they would be close relatives, after it was clearly explained to them that (if they continue worshipping others beside God,) they will be dwellers of Hell. |
|
وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلاَّ عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لأوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ |
|
114- |
And the asking God's Forgiveness by
Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made
to him (before). But when it became clear to him (Abraham) that he (the father) was an enemy of God ('s religion), he dissociated himself from him. Indeed Abraham was a person who frequently returned his mind (to God) in humility, (glorifying Him,) and he was a patient person. |
|
وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوْمًا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَاهُمْ حَتَّى يُبَيِّنَ لَهُم مَّا يَتَّقُونَ إِنَّ اللّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ |
|
115- |
And God would never let a people go
astray after He has guided them, until He has made clear to them what they should be aware of and avoid (but they keep on doing the wrong acts any way). Indeed God is the All Knower of everything (and all details). |
|
إِنَّ اللّهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلاَ نَصِيرٍ |
|
116- |
Certainly God is the One, to Whom belongs the rule and
dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death; and other than God, you have no true protector nor a real supporter. |
|
لَقَد
تَّابَ الله عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنصَارِ
الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ فِي سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ |
|
117- |
God indeed directed His Mercy to the
prophet and the emigrants (Muslims who had left Mecca) and (their kind) assistants (in Medina) who followed him (the prophet) in the difficult time (of expedition to defensive war of Tabuk northwards), after the hearts of a certain number of them had almost deviated (from following the prophet), but God turned His Mercy on them Certainly He is Very Kind, Most Merciful to them. |
|
وَعَلَى
الثَّلاَثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّى إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ
الأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ
وَظَنُّواْ أَن لاَّ مَلْجَأَ |
|
118- |
God indeed also forgave the three
persons (who did not join the Tabuk expedition) and remained
behind till the earth, as vast as it is, it became like a narrow strait to them and their own beings became tightened to them and they perceived then that there is no refuge and shelter from God ('s punishment), other than turning back to Him (begging help from Him). Then He turned His Mercy on them, allowing them to repent and ask His pardon. Truly God is the One who accepts repentance often, Most Merciful (to good people who go back to Him). |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ |
|
119- |
O you who believe, be in awe of God, aware of Him and be with those who are truthful (in words and deeds). |
|
مَا كَانَ
لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُم مِّنَ الأَعْرَابِ أَن
يَتَخَلَّفُواْ عَن رَّسُولِ اللّهِ وَلاَ يَرْغَبُواْ
بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَن نَّفْسِهِ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يُصِيبُهُمْ
ظَمَأٌ |
|
120- |
It is not proper for the citizens of the
Medina City, nor for the Bedouins of its surrounding area to disobey the Messenger of God, nor to prefer the importance of his life over their own lives. That is because neither thirst nor fatigue nor hunger in the Cause of God is affecting them nor do they take any step that makes the disbelievers angry, nor do they suffer or gain anything from the enemy, except that all is being written and recorded for them as a good deed. Certainly God does not distort the reward of the good working people. |
|
وَلاَ يُنفِقُونَ نَفَقَةً صَغِيرَةً وَلاَ كَبِيرَةً وَلاَ يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ كُتِبَ لَهُمْ لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
121- |
And neither do they spend anything,
little or great, nor do they cross a valley (in the Cause of God)
except that it is written and recorded to their credit, so that God will reward them more and better than what they were achieving. |
|
وَمَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُواْ كَآفَّةً فَلَوْلاَ نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَآئِفَةٌ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُواْ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُواْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ |
|
122- |
And it is not proper for the believers
to go out to fight altogether; there should then a number of them of each group (that are left behind,) to study extensively in religious laws and instructions so that they should warn their people when they return to them, that way, they be aware (of their duties to God) and to avoid (evil acts). |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ قَاتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةً وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ |
|
123- |
O you who believe, fight those of the
disbelievers who are close to you (in battle) and let them find ferocity and harshness in you and know that God is ever with those who are pious and conscious of Him. |
|
وَإِذَا مَا أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَذِهِ إِيمَانًا فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ فَزَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ |
|
124- |
And whenever a chapter (of the Quran) is
revealed, some of them (the hypocrites or unbelievers) would
say: "To which of you has this (chapter) increased any faith?" As for those who believe, it already has increased their faith and they are glad of the good news (for them), rejoicing by it. |
|
وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَى رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ |
|
125- |
But as for those in whose hearts there
is a disease (of doubt, confusion and hypocrisy), it will add further impurity (of disbelief and doubt) to the impurity which they already harbor in themselves and they die while refusing and overlooking the truth. |
|
أَوَلاَ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لاَ يَتُوبُونَ وَلاَ هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ |
|
126- |
Don't they observe that they are being tested (with different kinds of calamities) once or twice every
year, yet they do not turn into repentance, nor do they learn any lesson. |
|
وَإِذَا مَا أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَاكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفُواْ صَرَفَ اللّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُون |
|
127- |
And whenever a chapter is revealed, some of them look at others (thinking):
"Is anyone seeing you (us)?" Then turn away (in rejection). God let their heart turn away because they are the kind of people who do not (want to) understand (by their total rejection). |
|
لَقَدْ جَاءكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
|
128- |
Indeed a Messenger (Muhammad) has come
to you from amongst yourselves; it saddens him whatever causes you to suffer or hurt, he is anxious for your improvements, full of kindness and mercy on the believers. |
|
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ |
|
129- |
But if they turn away, (O Muhammad) say:
God is Sufficient for me, there is no one worthy of worship but
He. In Him I have put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Dominion (of all). |
|
