Surah Al Anfal

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْاَنْفَالِۗ قُلِ الْاَنْفَالُ لِلّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَصْلِحُوْا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ ۖوَاَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗٓ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

   Yas'alūnaka ‘anil-anfāl(i), qulil-anfālu lillāhi war-rasūl(i), fattaqullāha wa aṣliḥū żāta bainikum, wa aṭī‘ullāha wa rasūlahū in kuntum mu'minīn(a).

   They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the spoils of war. Say, “Their distribution is decided by Allah and His Messenger. So be mindful of Allah, settle your affairs, and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are ˹true˺ believers.”

2. اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَاِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُهٗ زَادَتْهُمْ اِيْمَانًا وَّعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَۙ

   Innamal-mu'minūnal-lażīna iżā żukirallāhu wajilat qulūbuhum wa iżā tuliyat ‘alaihim āyātuhū zādathum īmānaw wa ‘alā rabbihim yatawakkalūn(a).

   The ˹true˺ believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord.

3. الَّذِيْنَ يُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَۗ

   Al-lażīna yuqīmūnaṣ-ṣalāta wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn(a).

   ˹They are˺ those who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.

4. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَقًّاۗ لَهُمْ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌۚ

   Ulā'ika humul-mu'minūna ḥaqqā(n), lahum darajātun ‘inda rabbihim wa magfiratuw wa rizqun karīm(un).

   It is they who are the true believers. They will have elevated ranks, forgiveness, and an honourable provision from their Lord.

5. كَمَآ اَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْۢ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّۖ وَاِنَّ فَرِيْقًا مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ لَكٰرِهُوْنَ

   Kamā akhrajaka rabbuka mim baitika bil-ḥaqq(i), wa inna farīqam minal-mu'minīna lakārihūn(a).

   Similarly, when your Lord brought you ˹O Prophet˺ out of your home for a just cause, a group of believers was totally against it.

6. يُجَادِلُوْنَكَ فِى الْحَقِّ بَعْدَمَا تَبَيَّنَ كَاَنَّمَا يُسَاقُوْنَ اِلَى الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ ۗ

   Yujādilūnaka fil-ḥaqqi ba‘da mā tabayyana ka'annamā yusāqūna ilal-mauti wa hum yanẓurūn(a).

   They disputed with you about the truth after it had been made clear, as if they were being driven to death with their eyes wide open.

7. وَاِذْ يَعِدُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اِحْدَى الطَّاۤىِٕفَتَيْنِ اَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّوْنَ اَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ تَكُوْنُ لَكُمْ وَيُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُّحِقَّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَيَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَۙ

   Wa iż ya‘idukumullāhu iḥdaṭ-ṭā'ifataini annahā lakum wa tawaddūna anna gaira żātisy-syaukati takūnu lakum wa yurīdullāhu ay yuḥiqqal-ḥaqqa bikalimātihī wa yaqṭa‘a dābiral-kāfirīn(a).

   ˹Remember, O believers,˺ when Allah promised ˹to give˺ you the upper hand over either target, you wished to capture the unarmed party. But it was Allah’s Will to establish the truth by His Words and uproot the disbelievers;

8. لِيُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَيُبْطِلَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَۚ

   Liyuḥiqqal-ḥaqqa wa yubṭilal-bāṭila wa lau karihal-mujrimūn(a).

   to firmly establish the truth and wipe out falsehood—even to the dismay of the wicked.

9. اِذْ تَسْتَغِيْثُوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ اَنِّيْ مُمِدُّكُمْ بِاَلْفٍ مِّنَ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ مُرْدِفِيْنَ

   Iż tastagīṡūna rabbakum fastajāba lakum annī mumiddukum bi'alfim minal-malā'ikati murdifīn(a).

   ˹Remember˺ when you cried out to your Lord for help, He answered, “I will reinforce you with a thousand angels—followed by many others.”

10. وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بُشْرٰى وَلِتَطْمَىِٕنَّ بِهٖ قُلُوْبُكُمْۗ وَمَا النَّصْرُ اِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Wa mā ja‘alahullāhu illā busyrā wa litaṭma'inna bihī qulūbukum, wa man-naṡru illā min ‘indillāh(i), innallāha ‘azīzun ḥakīm(un).

    And Allah made this a sign of victory and reassurance to your hearts. Victory comes only from Allah. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

11. اِذْ يُغَشِّيْكُمُ النُّعَاسَ اَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً لِّيُطَهِّرَكُمْ بِهٖ وَيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطٰنِ وَلِيَرْبِطَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْاَقْدَامَۗ

    Iż yugasysyīkumun-nu‘āsa amanatam minhu wa yunazzilu ‘alaikum minas-samā'i mā'al liyuṭahhirakum bihī wa yużhiba ‘ankum rijzasy-syaiṭāni wa liyarbiṭa ‘alā qulūbikum wa yuṡabbita bihil-aqdām(a).

    ˹Remember˺ when He caused drowsiness to overcome you, giving you serenity. And He sent down rain from the sky to purify you, free you from Satan’s whispers, strengthen your hearts, and make ˹your˺ steps firm.

12. اِذْ يُوْحِيْ رَبُّكَ اِلَى الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةِ اَنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۗ سَاُلْقِيْ فِيْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوْا فَوْقَ الْاَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوْا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍۗ

    Iż yūḥī rabbuka ilal-malā'ikati annī ma‘akum fa ṡabbitul-lażīna āmanū, sa'ulqī fī qulūbil-lażīna kafarur-ru‘ba faḍribū fauqal-a‘nāqi waḍribū minhum kulla banān(in).

    ˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when your Lord revealed to the angels, “I am with you. So make the believers stand firm. I will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers. So strike their necks and strike their fingertips.”

13. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ شَاۤقُّوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗۚ وَمَنْ يُّشَاقِقِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ

    Żālika bi'annahum syāqqullāha wa rasūlah(ū), wa may yusyāqiqillāha wa rasūlahū fa innallāha syadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

    This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies Allah and His Messenger, then ˹know that˺ Allah is surely severe in punishment.

14. ذٰلِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْهُ وَاَنَّ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ

    Żālikum fa żūqūhu wa anna lil-kāfirīna ‘ażāban-nār(i).

    That ˹worldly punishment˺ is yours, so taste it! Then the disbelievers will suffer the torment of the Fire.

15. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا لَقِيْتُمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوْهُمُ الْاَدْبَارَۚ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā laqītumul-lażīna kafarū zaḥfan falā tuwallūhumul-adbār(a).

    O believers! When you face the disbelievers in battle, never turn your backs to them.

16. وَمَنْ يُّوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ دُبُرَهٗٓ اِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ اَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا اِلٰى فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَاۤءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَأْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ

    Wa may yuwallihim yauma'iżin duburahū illā mutaḥarrifal liqitālin au mutaḥayyizan ilā fi'atin faqad bā'a bigaḍabim minallāhi wa ma'wāhu jahannam(u), wa bi'sal-maṣīr(u).

    And whoever does so on such an occasion—unless it is a manoeuvre or to join their own troops—will earn the displeasure of Allah, and their home will be Hell. What an evil destination!

17. فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوْهُمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَتَلَهُمْۖ وَمَا رَمَيْتَ اِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَمٰىۚ وَلِيُبْلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ مِنْهُ بَلَاۤءً حَسَنًاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ

    Falam taqtulūhum wa lākinnallāha qatalahum, wa mā ramaita iż ramaita wa lākinallāha ramā, wa liyubliyal-mu'minīna minhu balā'an ḥasanā(n), innallāha samī‘un ‘alīm(un).

    It was not you ˹believers˺ who killed them, but it was Allah Who did so. Nor was it you ˹O Prophet˺ who threw ˹a handful of sand at the disbelievers˺, but it was Allah Who did so, rendering the believers a great favour. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

18. ذٰلِكُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُوْهِنُ كَيْدِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

    Żālikum wa annallāha mūhinu kaidil-kāfirīn(a).

    As such, Allah frustrates the evil plans of the disbelievers.

19. اِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوْا فَقَدْ جَاۤءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُۚ وَاِنْ تَنْتَهُوْا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْۚ وَاِنْ تَعُوْدُوْا نَعُدْۚ وَلَنْ تُغْنِيَ عَنْكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَوْ كَثُرَتْۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ࣖ

    In tastaftiḥū faqad jā'akumul-fatḥ(u), wa in tantahū fa huwa khairul lakum, wa in ta‘ūdū na‘ud, wa lan tugniya ‘ankum fi'atukum syai'aw wa lau kaṡurat, wa anallāha ma‘al-mu'minīn(a).

    If you ˹Meccans˺ sought judgment, now it has come to you. And if you cease, it will be for your own good. But if you persist, We will persist. And your forces—no matter how numerous they might be—will not benefit you whatsoever. For Allah is certainly with the believers.

20. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُوْنَ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū aṭī‘ullāha wa rasūlahū wa lā tawallau ‘anhu wa antum tasma‘ūn(a).

    O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him while you hear ˹his call˺.

21. وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوْنَۚ

    Wa lā takūnū kal-lażīna qālū sami‘nā wa hum lā yasma‘ūn(a).

    Do not be like those who say, “We hear,” but in fact they are not listening.

22. ۞ اِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَاۤبِّ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ

    Inna syarrad-dawābbi ‘indallāhiṣ-ṣummul-bukmul-lażīna lā ya‘qilūn(a).

    Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are the ˹wilfully˺ deaf and dumb, who do not understand.

23. وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ فِيْهِمْ خَيْرًا لَّاَسْمَعَهُمْۗ وَلَوْ اَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ

    Wa lau ‘alimallāhu fīhim khairal la'asma‘ahum, wa lau asma‘ahum latawallau wa hum mu‘riḍūn(a).

    Had Allah known any goodness in them, He would have certainly made them hear. ˹But˺ even if He had made them hear, they would have surely turned away heedlessly.

24. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اسْتَجِيْبُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ اِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيْكُمْۚ وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحُوْلُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَاَنَّهٗٓ اِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanustajībū lillāhi wa lir-rasūli iżā da‘ākum limā yuḥyīkum, wa‘lamū annallāha yaḥūlu bainal-mar'i wa qalbihī wa annahū ilaihi tuḥsyarūn(a).

    O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah stands between a person and their heart, and that to Him you will all be gathered.

25. وَاتَّقُوْا فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِيْبَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْكُمْ خَاۤصَّةً ۚوَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ

    Wattaqū fitnatal lā tuṣībannal-lażīna ẓalamū minkum khāṣṣah(tan), wa‘lamū annallāha syadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

    Beware of a trial that will not only affect the wrongdoers among you. And know that Allah is severe in punishment.

26. وَاذْكُرُوْٓا اِذْ اَنْتُمْ قَلِيْلٌ مُّسْتَضْعَفُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ تَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ يَّتَخَطَّفَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَاٰوٰىكُمْ وَاَيَّدَكُمْ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

    Ważkurū iż antum qalīlum mustaḍ‘afūna fil-arḍi takhāfūna ay yatakhaṭṭafakumun-nāsu fa āwākum wa ayyadakum binaṣrihī wa razaqakum minaṭ-ṭayyibāti la‘allakum tasykurūn(a).

    Remember when you had been vastly outnumbered and oppressed in the land, constantly in fear of attacks by your enemy, then He sheltered you, strengthened you with His help, and provided you with good things so perhaps you would be thankful.

27. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَخُوْنُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوْلَ وَتَخُوْنُوْٓا اَمٰنٰتِكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā takhūnullāha war-rasūla wa takhūnū amānātikum wa antum ta‘lamūn(a).

    O believers! Do not betray Allah and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts knowingly.

28. وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّمَآ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَاَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۙوَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗٓ اَجْرٌ عَظِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Wa‘lamū annamā amwālukum wa aulādukum fitnah(tun), wa annallāha ‘indahū ajrun ‘aẓīm(un).

    And know that your wealth and your children are only a test and that with Allah is a great reward.

29. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنْ تَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَّيُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيْمِ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū in tattaqullāha yaj‘al lakum furqānaw wa yukaffir ‘ankum sayyi'ātikum wa yagfir lakum, wallāhu żul-faḍlil-‘aẓīm(i).

    O believers! If you are mindful of Allah, He will grant you a standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺, absolve you of your sins, and forgive you. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.

30. وَاِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِيُثْبِتُوْكَ اَوْ يَقْتُلُوْكَ اَوْ يُخْرِجُوْكَۗ وَيَمْكُرُوْنَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللّٰهُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ خَيْرُ الْمٰكِرِيْنَ

    Wa iż yamkuru bikal-lażīna kafarū liyuṡbitūka au yaqtulūka au yukhrijūk(a), wa yamkurūna wa yamkurullāh(u), wallāhu khairul-mākirīn(a).

    And ˹remember, O Prophet,˺ when the disbelievers conspired to capture, kill, or exile you. They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners.

31. وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا قَالُوْا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَاۤءُ لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هٰذَآ ۙاِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّآ اَسَاطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

    Wa iżā tutlā ‘alaihim āyātunā qālū qad sami‘nā lau nasyā'u laqulnā miṡla hāżā, in hāżā illā asāṭīrul-awwalīn(a).

    Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they challenge ˹you˺, “We have already heard ˹the recitation˺. If we wanted, we could have easily produced something similar. This ˹Quran˺ is nothing but ancient fables!”

32. وَاِذْ قَالُوا اللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَاَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ اَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ

    Wa iż qālullāhumma in kāna hāżā huwal-ḥaqqa min ‘indika fa amṭir ‘alainā ḥijāratam minas-samā'i awi'tinā bi‘ażābin alīm(in).

    And ˹remember˺ when they prayed, “O Allah! If this is indeed the truth from You, then rain down stones upon us from the sky or overcome us with a painful punishment.”

33. وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَاَنْتَ فِيْهِمْۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ

    Wa mā kānallāhu liyu‘ażżibahum wa anta fīhim, wa mā kānallāhu mu‘ażżibahum wa hum yastagfirūn(a).

    But Allah would never punish them while you ˹O Prophet˺ were in their midst. Nor would He ever punish them if they prayed for forgiveness.

34. وَمَا لَهُمْ اَلَّا يُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَهُمْ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوْٓا اَوْلِيَاۤءَهٗۗ اِنْ اَوْلِيَاۤؤُهٗٓ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقُوْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Wa mā lahum allā yu‘ażżibahumullāhu wa hum yaṣuddūna ‘anil-masjidil-ḥarāmi wa mā kānū auliyā'ah(ū), in auliyā'uhū illal-muttaqūna wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya‘lamūn(a).

    And why should Allah not punish them while they hinder pilgrims from the Sacred Mosque, claiming to be its rightful guardians? None has the right to guardianship except those mindful ˹of Allah˺, but most pagans do not know.

35. وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ اِلَّا مُكَاۤءً وَّتَصْدِيَةًۗ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ

    Wa mā kāna ṣalātuhum ‘indal-baiti illā mukā'aw wa taṣdiyah(tan), fa żūqul-‘ażāba bimā kuntum takfurūn(a).

    Their prayer at the Sacred House was nothing but whistling and clapping. So taste the punishment for your disbelief.

36. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗفَسَيُنْفِقُوْنَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُوْنُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُوْنَ ەۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُوْنَۙ

    Innal-lażīna kafarū yunfiqūna amwālahum liyaṣuddū ‘an sabīlillāh(i), fa sayunfiqūnahā ṡumma takūnu ‘alaihim ḥasratan ṡumma yuglabūn(a), wal-lażīna kafarū ilā jahannama yuḥsyarūn(a).

    Surely the disbelievers spend their wealth to hinder others from the Path of Allah. They will continue to spend to the point of regret. Then they will be defeated and the disbelievers will be driven into Hell,

37. لِيَمِيْزَ اللّٰهُ الْخَبِيْثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ وَيَجْعَلَ الْخَبِيْثَ بَعْضَهٗ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فَيَرْكُمَهٗ جَمِيْعًا فَيَجْعَلَهٗ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ࣖ

    Liyamīzallāhul-khabīṡa minaṭ-ṭayyibi wa yaj‘alal-khabīṡa ba‘ḍahū ‘alā ba‘ḍin fa yarkumahū jamī‘an fa yaj‘alahū fī jahannam(a), ulā'ika humul-khāsirūn(a).

    so Allah may separate the evil from the good. He will pile up the evil ones all together and then cast them into Hell. They are the ˹true˺ losers.

38. قُلْ لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ يَّنْتَهُوْا يُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَۚ وَاِنْ يَّعُوْدُوْا فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

    Qul lil-lażīna kafarū in yantahū yugfar lahum mā qad salaf(a), wa iy ya‘ūdū faqad maḍat sunnatul-awwalīn(a).

    Tell the disbelievers that if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist, then they have an example in those destroyed before them.

39. وَقَاتِلُوْهُمْ حَتّٰى لَا تَكُوْنَ فِتْنَةٌ وَّيَكُوْنَ الدِّيْنُ كُلُّهٗ لِلّٰهِۚ فَاِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ

    Wa qātilūhum ḥattā lā takūna fitnatuw wa yakunad-dīnu kulluhū lillāh(i),fa inintahau fa innallāha bimā ya‘malūna baṣīr(un).

    Fight against them until there is no more persecution—and ˹your˺ devotion will be entirely to Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

40. وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ۗنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰى وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيْرُ ۔

    Wa in tawallau fa‘lamū annallāha maulākum, ni‘mal-maulā wa ni‘man-naṣīr(u).

    And if they do not comply, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector, and what an excellent Helper!

41. ۞ وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ فَاَنَّ لِلّٰهِ خُمُسَهٗ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ وَلِذِى الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتٰمٰى وَالْمَسٰكِيْنِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلٰى عَبْدِنَا يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعٰنِۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

    Wa‘lamū annamā ganimtum min syai'in fa anna lillāhi khumusahū wa lir-rasūli wa liżil-qurbā wal-yatāmā wal-masākīni wabnis-sabīli in kuntum āmantum billāhi wa mā anzalnā ‘alā ‘abdinā yaumal-furqāni yaumal-taqal-jam‘ān(i), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

    Know that whatever spoils you take, one-fifth is for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and what We revealed to Our servant on that decisive day when the two armies met ˹at Badr˺. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

42. اِذْ اَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوٰى وَالرَّكْبُ اَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْۗ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدْتُّمْ لَاخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِى الْمِيْعٰدِۙ وَلٰكِنْ لِّيَقْضِيَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ەۙ لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَّيَحْيٰى مَنْ حَيَّ عَنْۢ بَيِّنَةٍۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَسَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌۙ

    Iż antum bil-‘udwatid-dun-yā wa hum bil-‘udwatil-quṣwā war-rakbu asfala minkum, wa lau tawā‘attum lakhtalaftum fil-mī‘ād(i), wa lākil liyaqḍiyallāhu amran kāna maf‘ūlā(n), liyahlika man halaka ‘am bayyinatiw wa yaḥyā may ḥayya ‘am bayyinah(tin), wa innallāha lasamī‘un ‘alīm(un).

    ˹Remember˺ when you were on the near side of the valley, your enemy on the far side, and the caravan was below you. Even if the two armies had made an appointment ˹to meet˺, both would have certainly missed it. Still it transpired so Allah may establish what He had destined—that those who were to perish and those who were to survive might do so after the truth had been made clear to both. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

43. اِذْ يُرِيْكَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِيْ مَنَامِكَ قَلِيْلًاۗ وَلَوْ اَرٰىكَهُمْ كَثِيْرًا لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَلَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِى الْاَمْرِ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَلَّمَۗ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

    Iż yurīkahumullāhu fī manāmika qalīlā(n), wa lau arākahum kaṡīral lafasyiltum wa latanāza‘tum fil-amri wa lākinnallāha sallam(a), innahū ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

    ˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when Allah showed them in your dream as few in number. Had He shown them to you as many, you ˹believers˺ would have certainly faltered and disputed in the matter. But Allah spared you ˹from that˺. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

44. وَاِذْ يُرِيْكُمُوْهُمْ اِذِ الْتَقَيْتُمْ فِيْٓ اَعْيُنِكُمْ قَلِيْلًا وَّيُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِيْٓ اَعْيُنِهِمْ لِيَقْضِيَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ۗوَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ ࣖ

    Wa iż yurīkumūhum iżil-taqaitum fī a‘yunikum qalīlaw wa yuqallilukum fī a‘yunihim liyaqḍiyallāhu amran kāna maf‘ūlā(n), wa ilallāhi turja‘ul-umūr(u).

    Then when your armies met, Allah made them appear as few in your eyes, and made you appear as few in theirs, so Allah may establish what He had destined. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

45. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا لَقِيْتُمْ فِئَةً فَاثْبُتُوْا وَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَۚ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā laqītum fi'atan faṡbutū ważkurullāha kaṡīral la‘allakum tufliḥūn(a).

    O believers! When you face an enemy, stand firm and remember Allah often so you may triumph.

46. وَاَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوْا فَتَفْشَلُوْا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيْحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوْاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَۚ

    Wa aṭī‘ullāha wa rasūlahū wa lā tanāza‘ū fa tafsyalū wa tażhaba rīḥukum waṣbirū, innallāha ma‘aṣ-ṣābirīn(a).

    Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere.

47. وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ خَرَجُوْا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ بَطَرًا وَّرِئَاۤءَ النَّاسِ وَيَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ بِمَايَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطٌ

    Wa lā takūnū kal-lażīna kharajū min diyārihim baṭaraw wa ri'ā'an-nāsi wa yaṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāh(i), wallāhu bimā ya‘malūna muḥīṭ(un).

    Do not be like those ˹pagans˺ who left their homes arrogantly, only to be seen by people and to hinder others from Allah’s Path. And Allah is Fully Aware of what they do.

48. وَاِذْ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَاِنِّيْ جَارٌ لَّكُمْۚ فَلَمَّا تَرَاۤءَتِ الْفِئَتٰنِ نَكَصَ عَلٰى عَقِبَيْهِ وَقَالَ اِنِّيْ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّنْكُمْ اِنِّيْٓ اَرٰى مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ ۗوَاللّٰهُ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ ࣖ

    Wa iż zayyana lahumusy-syaiṭānu a‘mālahum wa qāla lā gāliba lakumul-yauma minan-nāsi wa innī jārul lakum, falammā tarā'atil-fi'atāni nakaṣa ‘alā ‘aqibaihi wa qāla innī barī'um minkum innī arā mā lā tarauna innī akhāfullāh(a), wallāhu syadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

    And ˹remember˺ when Satan made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, and said, “No one can overcome you today. I am surely by your side.” But when the two forces faced off, he cowered and said, “I have absolutely nothing to do with you. I certainly see what you do not see. I truly fear Allah, for Allah is severe in punishment.”

49. اِذْ يَقُوْلُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ دِيْنُهُمْۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Iż yaqūlul-munāfiqūna wal-lażīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun garra hā'ulā'i dīnuhum, wa may yatawakkal ‘alallāhi fa innallāha ‘azīzun ḥakīm(un).

    ˹Remember˺ when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “These ˹believers˺ are deluded by their faith.” But whoever puts their trust in Allah, surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

50. وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذْ يَتَوَفَّى الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ يَضْرِبُوْنَ وُجُوْهَهُمْ وَاَدْبَارَهُمْۚ وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْحَرِيْقِ

    Wa lau tarā iż yatawaffal-lażīna kafarul-malā'ikatu yaḍribūna wujūhahum wa adbārahum, wa żūqū ‘ażābal-ḥarīq(i).

    If only you could see when the angels take the souls of the disbelievers, beating their faces and backs, ˹saying,˺ “Taste the torment of burning!

51. ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْكُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيْدِۙ

    Żālika bimā qaddamat aidīkum wa annallāha laisa biẓallāmil lil-‘abīd(i).

    This is ˹the reward˺ for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ˹His˺ servants.”

52. كَدَأْبِ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَۙ وَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۗ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِيٌّ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ

    Kada'bi āli fir‘aun(a), wal-lażīna min qablihim, kafarū bi'āyātillāhi fa akhażahumullāhu biżunūbihim, innallāha qawiyyun syadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

    Their fate is that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them—they all disbelieved in Allah’s signs, so Allah seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allah is All-Powerful, severe in punishment.

53. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً اَنْعَمَهَا عَلٰى قَوْمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌۙ

    Żālika bi'annallāha lam yaku mugayyiran ni‘matan an‘amahā ‘alā qaumin ḥattā yugayyirū mā bi'anfusihim, wa annallāha samī‘un ‘alīm(un).

    This is because Allah would never discontinue His favour to a people until they discontinue their faith. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

54. كَدَأْبِ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَۙ وَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۚ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ وَاَغْرَقْنَآ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَۚ وَكُلٌّ كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

    Kada'bi āli fir‘aun(a), wal-lażīna min qablihim, każżabū bi'āyāti rabbihim fa ahlaknāhum biżunūbihim wa agraqnā āla fir‘aun(a), wa kullun kānū ẓālimīn(a).

    That was the case with Pharaoh’s people and those before them—they all rejected the signs of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins and drowned Pharaoh’s people. They were all wrongdoers.

55. اِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَاۤبِّ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَۖ

    Inna syarrad-dawābbi ‘indallāhil-lażīna kafarū fahum lā yu'minūn(a).

    Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are those who persist in disbelief, never to have faith—

56. الَّذِيْنَ عَاهَدْتَّ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ يَنْقُضُوْنَ عَهْدَهُمْ فِيْ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا يَتَّقُوْنَ

    Allażīna ‘āhatta minhum ṡumma yanquḍūna ‘ahdahum fī kulli marratiw wa hum lā yattaqūn(a).

    ˹especially˺ those with whom you ˹O Prophet˺ have entered into treaties, but they violate them every time, not fearing the consequences.

57. فَاِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى الْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِمْ مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُوْنَ

    Fa immā taṡqafannahum fil-ḥarbi fa syarrid bihim man khalfahum la‘allahum yażżakkarūn(a).

    If you ever encounter them in battle, make a fearsome example of them, so perhaps those who would follow them may be deterred.

58. وَاِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِنْ قَوْمٍ خِيَانَةً فَانْۢبِذْ اِلَيْهِمْ عَلٰى سَوَاۤءٍۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْخَاۤىِٕنِيْنَ ࣖ

    Wa immā takhāfanna min qaumin khiyānatan fambiż ilaihim ‘alā sawā'(in), innallāha lā yuḥibbul-khā'inīn(a).

    And if you ˹O Prophet˺ see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray.

59. وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا سَبَقُوْاۗ اِنَّهُمْ لَا يُعْجِزُوْنَ

    Wa lā yaḥsabannal-lażīna kafarū sabaqū, innahum lā yu‘jizūn(a).

    Do not let those disbelievers think they are not within reach. They will have no escape.

60. وَاَعِدُّوْا لَهُمْ مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ قُوَّةٍ وَّمِنْ رِّبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُوْنَ بِهٖ عَدُوَّ اللّٰهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَاٰخَرِيْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْۚ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَهُمْۚ اَللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُهُمْۗ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوْا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ يُوَفَّ اِلَيْكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تُظْلَمُوْنَ

    Wa a‘iddū lahum mastaṭa‘tum min quwwatiw wa mir ribāṭil-khaili turhibūna bihī ‘aduwwallāhi wa ‘aduwwakum wa ākharīna min dūnihim, lā ta‘lamūnahum, allāhu ya‘lamuhum, wa mā tunfiqū min syai'in fī sabīlillāhi yuwaffa ilaikum wa antum lā tuẓlamūn(a).

    Prepare against them what you ˹believers˺ can of ˹military˺ power and cavalry to deter Allah’s enemies and your enemies as well as other enemies unknown to you but known to Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be paid to you in full and you will not be wronged.

61. ۞ وَاِنْ جَنَحُوْا لِلسَّلْمِ فَاجْنَحْ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

    Wa in janaḥū lis-salmi fajnaḥ lahā wa tawakkal ‘alallāh(i), innahū huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm(u).

    If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with them. And put your trust in Allah. Indeed, He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

62. وَاِنْ يُّرِيْدُوْٓا اَنْ يَّخْدَعُوْكَ فَاِنَّ حَسْبَكَ اللّٰهُ ۗهُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ

    Wa iy yurīdū ay yakhda‘ūka fa inna ḥasbakallāh(u), huwal-lażī ayyadaka binaṣrihī wa bil-mu'minīn(a).

    But if their intention is only to deceive you, then Allah is certainly sufficient for you. He is the One Who has supported you with His help and with the believers.

63. وَاَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوْبِهِمْۗ لَوْاَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا مَّآ اَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Wa allafa baina qulūbihim, lau anfaqta mā fil-arḍi jamī‘am mā allafta baina qulūbihim wa lākinnallāha allafa bainahum, innahū ‘azīzun ḥakīm(un).

    He brought their hearts together. Had you spent all the riches in the earth, you could not have united their hearts. But Allah has united them. Indeed, He is Almighty, All-Wise.

64. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ حَسْبُكَ اللّٰهُ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ࣖ

    Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu ḥasbukallāhu wa manittaba‘aka minal-mu'minīn(a).

    O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you.

65. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِۗ اِنْ يَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ عِشْرُوْنَ صٰبِرُوْنَ يَغْلِبُوْا مِائَتَيْنِۚ وَاِنْ يَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّائَةٌ يَّغْلِبُوْٓا اَلْفًا مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

    Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu ḥarriḍil-mu'minīna ‘alal-qitāl(i), iy yakum minkum ‘isyrūna ṣabirūna yaglibū mi'atain(i), wa iy yakum minkum mi'atuy yaglibū alfam minal-lażīna kafarū bi'annahum qaumul lā yafqahūn(a).

    O Prophet! Motivate the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are one hundred of you, they will overcome one thousand of the disbelievers, for they are a people who do not comprehend.

66. اَلْـٰٔنَ خَفَّفَ اللّٰهُ عَنْكُمْ وَعَلِمَ اَنَّ فِيْكُمْ ضَعْفًاۗ فَاِنْ يَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّائَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَّغْلِبُوْا مِائَتَيْنِۚ وَاِنْ يَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ اَلْفٌ يَّغْلِبُوْٓا اَلْفَيْنِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ

    Al'āna khaffafallāhu ‘ankum wa ‘alima anna fīkum ḍa‘fā(n), fa iy yakum minkum mi'atun ṣābiratuy yaglibū mi'atain(i), wa iy yakum minkum alfuy yaglibū alfaini bi'iżnillāh(i), wallāhu ma‘aṣ-ṣābirīn(a).

    Now Allah has lightened your burden, for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there be one thousand, they will overcome two thousand, by Allah’s Will. And Allah is with the steadfast.

67. مَاكَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ لَهٗٓ اَسْرٰى حَتّٰى يُثْخِنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ تُرِيْدُوْنَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَاۖ وَاللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ الْاٰخِرَةَۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِيْزٌحَكِيْمٌ

    Mā kāna linabiyyin ay yakūna lahū asrā ḥattā yuṡkhina fil-arḍ(i), turīdūna ‘araḍad-dun-yā, wallāhu yurīdul-ākhirah(ta), wallāhu ‘azīzun ḥakīm(un).

    It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives until he has thoroughly subdued the land. You ˹believers˺ settled with the fleeting gains of this world, while Allah’s aim ˹for you˺ is the Hereafter. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

68. لَوْلَاكِتٰبٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيْمَآ اَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ

    Lau lā kitābum minallāhi sabaqa lamassakum fīmā akhażtum ‘ażābun ‘aẓīm(un).

    Had it not been for a prior decree from Allah, you would have certainly been disciplined with a tremendous punishment for whatever ˹ransom˺ you have taken.

69. فَكُلُوْا مِمَّاغَنِمْتُمْ حَلٰلًا طَيِّبًاۖ وَّاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

    Fa kulū mimmā ganimtum ḥalālan ṭayyibā(n), wattaqullāh(a), innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    Now enjoy what you have taken, for it is lawful and good. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

70. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِّمَنْ فِيْٓ اَيْدِيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَسْرٰٓىۙ اِنْ يَّعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ خَيْرًا يُّؤْتِكُمْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّآ اُخِذَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu qul liman fī aidīkum minal-asrā, iy ya‘lamillāhu fī qulūbikum khairay yu'tikum khairam mimmā ukhiża minkum wa yagfir lakum, wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    O Prophet! Tell the captives in your custody, “If Allah finds goodness in your hearts, He will give you better than what has been taken from you, and forgive you. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

71. وَاِنْ يُّرِيْدُوْا خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Wa iy yurīdū khiyānataka faqad khānullāha min qablu fa amkana minhum wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakim(un).

    But if their intention is only to betray you ˹O Prophet˺, they sought to betray Allah before. But He gave you power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

72. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجَاهَدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰوَوْا وَّنَصَرُوْٓا اُولٰۤىِٕكَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءُ بَعْضٍۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَمْ يُهَاجِرُوْا مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ وَّلَايَتِهِمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ حَتّٰى يُهَاجِرُوْاۚ وَاِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوْكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ اِلَّا عَلٰى قَوْمٍۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِّيْثَاقٌۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ

    Innal-lażīna āmanū wa hājarū wa jāhadū bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim fī sabīlillāhi wal-lażīna āwaw wa naṣarū ulā'ika ba‘ḍuhum auliyā'u ba‘ḍ(in), wal-lażīna āmanū wa lam yuhājirū mā lakum miw walāyatihim min syai'in ḥattā yuhājirū, wa inistanṣarūkum fid-dīni fa ‘alaikumun naṣru illā ‘alā qaumim bainakum wa bainahum mīṡāq(un), wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr(un).

    Those who believed, emigrated, and strived with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave them shelter and help—they are truly guardians of one another. As for those who believed but did not emigrate, you have no obligations to them until they emigrate. But if they seek your help ˹against persecution˺ in faith, it is your obligation to help them, except against people bound with you in a treaty. Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

73. وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءُ بَعْضٍۗ اِلَّا تَفْعَلُوْهُ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيْرٌۗ

    Wal-lażīna kafarū ba‘ḍuhum auliyā'u ba‘ḍ(in), illā taf‘alūhu takun fitnatun fil-arḍi wa fasādun kabīr(un).

    As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you ˹believers˺ act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land.

74. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجَاهَدُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰوَوْا وَّنَصَرُوْٓا اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَقًّاۗ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌ

    Wal-lażīna āmanū wa hājarū wa jāhadū fī sabīlillāhi wal-lażīna āwaw wa naṣarū ulā'ika humul-mu'minūna ḥaqqā(n), lahum magfirtuw wa rizqun karīm(un).

    Those who believed, migrated, and struggled in the cause of Allah, and those who gave ˹them˺ shelter and help, they are the true believers. They will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.

75. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدُ وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجَاهَدُوْا مَعَكُمْ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مِنْكُمْۗ وَاُولُوا الْاَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلٰى بِبَعْضٍ فِيْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Wal-lażīna āmanū mim ba‘du wa hājarū wa jāhadū ma‘akum fa ulā'ika minkum, wa ulul-arḥāmi ba‘ḍuhum aulā biba‘ḍin fī kitābillāh(i), innallāha bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

    And those who later believed, migrated, and struggled alongside you, they are also with you. But only blood relatives are now entitled to inherit from one another, as ordained by Allah. Surely Allah has ˹full˺ knowledge of everything.
