Translation of the Holy Quran by Dr. Gilani |
|
The Gathering - Chapter 59 | Contains 24 verses – Medina |
|
|
سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ |
|
1- |
Whatever is in the heavens and the earth
glorifies the Majesty of God. And He is the Almighty, the All Wise. |
|
هُوَ الَّذِي
أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِن
دِيَارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ مَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن يَخْرُجُوا
وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمْ |
|
2- |
He is the One, Who drove out those who
disbelieved from among the people of Scripture (those Jews of the Banu An Nadir tribe who chose hostility against the Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims of Medina) from their homes at the first gathering and encounter. You did not think that they would get out (out of their fortresses). And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from God. But God reached them from a place and in such a way which they did not calculate (anticipate or expected). And He threw fear in their hearts, so that they destroyed their homes with their own hands and with the hands of the believers. So take notice, o you people with insight. |
|
وَلَوْلَا أَن كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَلَاء لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابُ النَّارِ |
|
3- |
And had it not been for the Decree of God
upon them to be exiled, He would have certainly punished them severely in the world, and in the hereafter, they shall have the suffering of the Fire. |
|
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَمَن يُشَاقِّ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ |
|
4- |
That is because they seriously opposed God
and His Messenger. And whoever strongly opposes God, then should know that God is Severe in punishment. |
|
مَا قَطَعْتُم مِّن لِّينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ |
|
5- |
Whatever palm trees you cut or left them
standing on their stems (on their places), was all by the permission of God and for the humiliation of the rebellious evil mongers. |
|
وَمَا أَفَاء
اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ
خَيْلٍ وَلَا |
|
6- |
And whatever God gave as booty to His
Messenger, you were not the ones who made any effort in battle,
on horse, or on camels for it, but God gives to His Messengers dominance over whomever He wills. And God is the ultimate Determinant over all matters. |
|
مَّا أَفَاء
اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى فَلِلَّهِ
وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ
وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ |
|
7- |
Whatever God gave (as booty) to His Messenger
(Muhammad) from the people of the townships those are to be used for the Cause of God and for the Messenger and for the relatives and for orphans, the poor people and the stranded traveler, so that it would not become additional wealth among your rich people. And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it and whatever he forbids you, avoid it. And be ever so conscious of God. Truly God is Severe in punishment. |
|
لِلْفُقَرَاء
الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيارِهِمْ
وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ |
|
8- |
(There should also be a share of the booty)
For the poor emigrants who were expelled (forced to leave) their
homes and their property, seeking a Favor from God and His Pleasure, while helping the Cause of God and His Messenger. Those are the real truthful ones. |
|
وَالَّذِينَ
تَبَوَّؤُوا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمَانَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ
هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ حَاجَةً
مِّمَّا أُوتُوا وَيُؤْثِرُونَ |
|
9- |
Also for those who before them had homes (in
Medina), and embraced the faith, they love those who immigrated to them (fleeing the pagans of Mecca) and have no desire for what they (the immigrant poor) were given (from the booty) and give them even preference over themselves, even though they could deserve receiving help. And whoever is freed from the control of his own desire, such persons are the true successful ones. |
|
وَالَّذِينَ
جَاؤُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا
وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ |
|
10- |
And those who came after them, saying: “Our
Lord, forgive us and our brothers (in faith) who preceded in
Faith and do not let any bad feelings be in our hearts against those who have believed. Our Lord, You are indeed Very kind, Most merciful.” |
|
أَلَمْ تَر
إِلَى الَّذِينَ نَافَقُوا يَقُولُونَ لِإِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ |
|
11- |
Didn’t you observe those hypocrites who tell
their friends among those who have disbelieved from the people of the Scripture: “If you are expelled (from townships of Medina), we too will surely go out with you and we shall never obey anyone ever against you and if you are attacked, we shall certainly help you.” But God is Witness that they are really liars. |
|
لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَلَئِن قُوتِلُوا لَا يَنصُرُونَهُمْ وَلَئِن نَّصَرُوهُمْ لَيُوَلُّنَّ الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ |
|
12- |
If they are expelled, they won't go out with
them and if they are fought against, they will not help them even if they would start supporting them, they will turn their backs and thereafter they will not be helped. |
|
لَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ |
|
13- |
In fact you (Muslims) are more awesome in
their hearts (of Jews of Banu An Nadir who fought you) than God. That is because they are the type of people who do not comprehend (the Power of God). |
|
لَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِي قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَاء جُدُرٍ بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّى ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ |
|
14- |
They do not fight against you altogether,
except in the towns protected by walls or from beyond the walls.
Their hostility among themselves is serious. You would think that they are united together, but their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people who don’t use their reasoning. |
|
كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيبًا ذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
|
15- |
They are like the people who were before
them. They tasted the evil result of their behavior and they will have a painful suffering also (in the Hereafter). |
|
كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلْإِنسَانِ اكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّنكَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ |
|
16- |
This is similar to the story Satan, when he
told man to deny the truth and defy God, but when man denied the truth, he said: “I am not responsible for you. In fact I fear God, the Lord of all that exist". |
|
فَكَانَ عَاقِبَتَهُمَا أَنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ خَالِدَيْنِ فِيهَا وَذَلِكَ جَزَاء الظَّالِمِينَ |
|
17- |
So the end of both of them will be that they
both will be in the Fire (of Hell), staying there forever. And such is the result of deeds of the unjust evildoers (disbelievers). |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
18- |
O you who believe, Be ever conscious of God and every person should care what person has sent ahead for the (future) tomorrow (for the Hereafter life). And be ever so conscious of God, for God is fully Aware of what you do. |
|
وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَأَنسَاهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ |
|
19- |
And don’t be like those who forgot God, so He
let them forget their own personal welfare and future. Those are the ones who are morally corrupt and disobedient (to God). |
|
لَا يَسْتَوِي أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ |
|
20- |
The inmates of the Fire (of Hell) are not
equal or same as the companions of the Garden (of Paradise). The companions Garden (of Paradise) are the real successful ones. |
|
لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ |
|
21- |
Had we sent this Quran on a mountain, you
would surely have seen it humbled, going to pieces in awe of
God! And such examples We present to people, so that they might think about it. |
|
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ |
|
22- |
He is God, beside whom there is no entity
worthy of worship, other than Him, the All Knowing of all the unseen and all the visible. He is the Most gracious, the Most Merciful. |
|
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
|
23- |
He is God, besides whom there is no one
worthy of worship, other than Him, the True King, the Most Holy, the Source of Peace, the Giver of Security, the Watcher over His creatures, the Almighty Irresistible, the Compeller, Forceful Enforcer, the Most Supreme. All glory to God as He is beyond all partners which they associate with Him. |
|
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ |
|
24- |
He is God, the Creator, the Designer and
Inventor (from nothingness), the Giver of forms and shapes. He has many beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth revolve glorifying Him. And He is the Almighty Irresistible, the All Wise. |
