Surah Al Hashr

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

   Sabbaḥa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

   Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

2. هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَخْرَجَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ لِاَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِۗ مَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ يَّخْرُجُوْا وَظَنُّوْٓا اَنَّهُمْ مَّانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُوْنُهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ فَاَتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوْا وَقَذَفَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ يُخْرِبُوْنَ بُيُوْتَهُمْ بِاَيْدِيْهِمْ وَاَيْدِى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۙ فَاعْتَبِرُوْا يٰٓاُولِى الْاَبْصَارِ

   Huwal-lażī akhrajal-lażīna kafarū min ahlil-kitābi min diyārihim li'awwalil-ḥasyr(i), mā ẓanantum ay yakhrujū wa ẓannū annahum māni‘atuhum ḥuṣūnuhum minallāhi fa atāhumullāhu min ḥaiṡu lam yaḥtasibū wa qażafa fī qulūbihimur-ru‘ba yukhribūna buyūtahum bi'aidīhim wa aidil-mu'minīn(a), fa‘tabirū yā ulil-abṣār(i).

   He is the One Who expelled the disbelievers of the People of the Book from their homes for ˹their˺ first banishment ˹ever˺. You never thought they would go. And they thought their strongholds would put them out of Allah’s reach. But ˹the decree of˺ Allah came upon them from where they never expected. And He cast horror into their hearts so they destroyed their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take a lesson ˹from this˺, O people of insight!

3. وَلَوْلَآ اَنْ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَلَاۤءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِى الدُّنْيَاۗ وَلَهُمْ فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابُ النَّارِ

   Wa lau lā an kataballāhu ‘alaihimul-jalā'a la‘ażżabahum fid-dun-yā, wa lahum fil-ākhirati ‘ażābun-nār(i).

   Had Allah not decreed exile for them, He would have certainly punished them in this world. And in the Hereafter they will suffer the punishment of the Fire.

4. ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ شَاۤقُّوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۖوَمَنْ يُّشَاۤقِّ اللّٰهَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ

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

   This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies Allah, then Allah is truly severe in punishment.

5. مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ لِّيْنَةٍ اَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوْهَا قَاۤىِٕمَةً عَلٰٓى اُصُوْلِهَا فَبِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ

   Mā qaṭa‘tum mil līnatin au taraktumūhā qā'imatan ‘alā uṣūlihā fa bi'iżnillāhi wa liyukhziyal-fāsiqīn(a).

   Whatever palm trees you ˹believers˺ cut down or left standing intact, it was ˹all˺ by Allah’s Will, so that He might disgrace the rebellious.

6. وَمَآ اَفَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ مِنْهُمْ فَمَآ اَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَّلَا رِكَابٍ وَّلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسَلِّطُ رُسُلَهٗ عَلٰى مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

   Wa mā afā'allāhu ‘alā rasūlihī minhum famā aujaftum ‘alaihi min khailiw wa lā rikābiw wa lākinnallāha yusalliṭu rusulahū ‘alā may yasyā'(u), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

   As for the gains Allah has turned over to His Messenger from them—you did not ˹even˺ spur on any horse or camel for such gains. But Allah gives authority to His messengers over whoever He wills. For Allah is Most Capable of everything.

7. مَآ اَفَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْقُرٰى فَلِلّٰهِ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ وَلِذِى الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتٰمٰى وَالْمَسٰكِيْنِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِۙ كَيْ لَا يَكُوْنَ دُوْلَةً ۢ بَيْنَ الْاَغْنِيَاۤءِ مِنْكُمْۗ وَمَآ اٰتٰىكُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ فَخُذُوْهُ وَمَا نَهٰىكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوْاۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِۘ

   Mā afā'allāhu ‘alā rasūlihī min ahlil-qurā fa lillāhi wa lir-rasūli wa liżil-qurbā wal-yatāmā wal-masākīni wabnis-sabīl(i), kailā yakūna dūlatam bainal-agniyā'i minkum, wa mā ātākumur-rasūlu fa khużūhu wa mā nahākum ‘anhu fantahū, wattaqullāh(a), innallāha syadīdul-‘iqāb(i).

   As for gains granted by Allah to His Messenger from the people of ˹other˺ lands, they are for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers so that wealth may not merely circulate among your rich. Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatever he forbids you from, leave it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment.

8. لِلْفُقَرَاۤءِ الْمُهٰجِرِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اُخْرِجُوْا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَاَمْوَالِهِمْ يَبْتَغُوْنَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانًا وَّيَنْصُرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الصّٰدِقُوْنَۚ

   Lil-fuqarā'il-muhājirīnal-lażīna ukhrijū min diyārihim wa amwālihim yabtagūna faḍlam minallāhi wa riḍwānaw wa yanṣurūnallāha wa rasūlah(ū), ulā'ika humuṣ-ṣādiqūn(a).

   ˹Some of the gains will be˺ for poor emigrants who were driven out of their homes and wealth, seeking Allah’s bounty and pleasure, and standing up for Allah and His Messenger. They are the ones true in faith.

9. وَالَّذِيْنَ تَبَوَّءُو الدَّارَ وَالْاِيْمَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّوْنَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ اِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَجِدُوْنَ فِيْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ حَاجَةً مِّمَّآ اُوْتُوْا وَيُؤْثِرُوْنَ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ ۗوَمَنْ يُّوْقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهٖ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَۚ

   Wal-lażīna tabawwa'ud-dāra wal-īmāna min qablihim yuḥibbūna man hājara ilaihim wa lā yajidūna fī ṣudūrihim ḥājatam mimmā ūtū wa yu'ṡirūna ‘alā anfusihim wa lau kāna bihim khaṣāṣah(tun), wa may yūqa syuḥḥa nafsihī fa ulā'ika humul-mufliḥūn(a).

   As for those who had settled in the city and ˹embraced˺ the faith before ˹the arrival of˺ the emigrants, they love whoever immigrates to them, never having a desire in their hearts for whatever ˹of the gains˺ is given to the emigrants. They give ˹the emigrants˺ preference over themselves even though they may be in need. And whoever is saved from the selfishness of their own souls, it is they who are ˹truly˺ successful.

10. وَالَّذِيْنَ جَاۤءُوْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِاِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِيْنَ سَبَقُوْنَا بِالْاِيْمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِيْ قُلُوْبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا رَبَّنَآ اِنَّكَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Wal-lażīna jā'ū mim ba‘dihim yaqūlūna rabbanagfir lanā wa li'ikhwāninal-lażīna sabaqūnā bil-īmāni wa lā taj‘al fī qulūbinā gillal lil-lażīna āmanū rabbanā innaka ra'ūfur raḥīm(un).

    And those who come after them will pray, “Our Lord! Forgive us and our fellow believers who preceded us in faith, and do not allow bitterness into our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord! Indeed, You are Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.”

11. ۞ اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ نَافَقُوْا يَقُوْلُوْنَ لِاِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ لَىِٕنْ اُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلَا نُطِيْعُ فِيْكُمْ اَحَدًا اَبَدًاۙ وَّاِنْ قُوْتِلْتُمْ لَنَنْصُرَنَّكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna nāfaqū yaqūlūna li'ikhwānihimul-lażīna kafarū min ahlil-kitābi la'in ukhrijtum lanakhrujanna ma‘akum wa lā nuṭī‘u fīkum aḥadan abadā(n), wa in qūtiltum lananṣurannakum, wallāhu yasyhadu innahum lakāżibūn(a).

    Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen the hypocrites who say to their fellow disbelievers from the People of the Book, “If you are expelled, we will certainly leave with you, and We will never obey anyone against you. And if you are fought against, we will surely help you.”? But Allah bears witness that they are truly liars.

12. لَىِٕنْ اُخْرِجُوْا لَا يَخْرُجُوْنَ مَعَهُمْۚ وَلَىِٕنْ قُوْتِلُوْا لَا يَنْصُرُوْنَهُمْۚ وَلَىِٕنْ نَّصَرُوْهُمْ لَيُوَلُّنَّ الْاَدْبَارَۙ ثُمَّ لَا يُنْصَرُوْنَ

    La'in ukhrijū lā yakhrujūna ma‘ahum, wa la'in qūtilū lā yanṣurūnahum, wa la'in naṣarūhum layuwallunnal-adbār(a), ṡumma lā yunṣarūn(a).

    Indeed, if they are expelled, the hypocrites will never leave with them. And if they are fought against, the hypocrites will never help them. And even if the hypocrites did so, they would certainly flee, then the disbelievers would be left with no help.

13. لَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِيْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

    La'antum asyaddu rahbatan fī ṣudūrihim minallāh(i), żālika bi'annahum qaumul lā yafqahūn(a).

    Indeed, there is more fear in their hearts for you ˹believers˺ than for Allah. That is because they are a people who do not comprehend.

14. لَا يُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ جَمِيْعًا اِلَّا فِيْ قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ اَوْ مِنْ وَّرَاۤءِ جُدُرٍۗ بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيْدٌ ۗ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيْعًا وَّقُلُوْبُهُمْ شَتّٰىۗ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُوْنَۚ

    Lā tuqātilūnakum jamī‘an illā fī quram muḥaṣṣanatin au miw warā'i judur(in), ba'suhum bainahum syadīd(un), taḥsabuhum jamī‘aw wa qulūbuhum syattā, żālika bi'annahum qaumul lā ya‘qilūn(a).

    Even united, they would not ˹dare˺ fight against you except ˹from˺ within fortified strongholds or from behind walls. Their malice for each other is intense: you think they are united, yet their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people with no ˹real˺ understanding.

15. كَمَثَلِ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيْبًا ذَاقُوْا وَبَالَ اَمْرِهِمْۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌۚ

    Kamaṡalil-lażīna min qablihim qarīban żāqū wabāla amrihim, wa lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    They are ˹both just˺ like those who recently went down before them: they tasted the evil consequences of their doings. And they will suffer a painful punishment.

16. كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطٰنِ اِذْ قَالَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ اكْفُرْۚ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ اِنِّيْ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّنْكَ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Kamaṡalisy-syaiṭāni iż qāla lil-insānikfur, falammā kafara qāla innī barī'um minka innī akhāfullāha rabbal-‘ālamīn(a).

    ˹They are˺ like Satan when he lures someone to disbelieve. Then after they have done so, he will say ˹on Judgment Day˺, “I have absolutely nothing to do with you. I truly fear Allah—the Lord of all worlds.”

17. فَكَانَ عَاقِبَتَهُمَآ اَنَّهُمَا فِى النَّارِ خٰلِدَيْنِ فِيْهَاۗ وَذٰلِكَ جَزٰۤؤُا الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ࣖ

    Fa kāna ‘āqibatahumā annahumā fin-nāri khālidaini fīhā, wa żālika jazā'uẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    So they will both end up in the Fire, staying there forever. That is the reward of the wrongdoers.

18. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيْرٌ ۢبِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanuttaqullāha waltanẓur nafsum mā qaddamat ligad(in), wattaqullāh(a), innallāha khabīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).

    O believers! Be mindful of Allah and let every soul look to what ˹deeds˺ it has sent forth for tomorrow. And fear Allah, ˹for˺ certainly Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

19. وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ نَسُوا اللّٰهَ فَاَنْسٰىهُمْ اَنْفُسَهُمْۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ

    Wa lā takūnū kal-lażīna nasullāha fa'ansāhum anfusahum, ulā'ika humul-fāsiqūn(a).

    And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. It is they who are ˹truly˺ rebellious.

20. لَا يَسْتَوِيْٓ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ وَاَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِۗ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَاۤىِٕزُوْنَ

    Lā yastawī aṣḥābun-nāri wa aṣḥābul-jannah(ti), aṣḥābul-jannati humul-fā'izūn(a).

    The residents of the Fire cannot be equal to the residents of Paradise. ˹Only˺ the residents of Paradise will be successful.

21. لَوْ اَنْزَلْنَا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ عَلٰى جَبَلٍ لَّرَاَيْتَهٗ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَتِلْكَ الْاَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

    Lau anzalnā hāżal-qur'āna ‘alā jabalil lara'aitahū khāsyi‘am mutaṣaddi‘am min khasy-yatillāh(i), wa tilkal-amṡālu naḍribuhā lin-nāsi la‘allahum yatafakkarūn(a).

    Had We sent down this Quran upon a mountain, you would have certainly seen it humbled and torn apart in awe of Allah. We set forth such comparisons for people, ˹so˺ perhaps they may reflect.

22. هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِۚ هُوَ الرَّحْمٰنُ الرَّحِيْمُ

    Huwallāhul-lażī lā ilāha illā huw(a), ‘ālimul-gaibi wasy-syahādah(ti), huwar-raḥmānur-raḥīm(u).

    He is Allah—there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him: Knower of the seen and unseen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

23. هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۚ اَلْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوْسُ السَّلٰمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُۗ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

    Huwallāhul-lażī lā ilāha illā huw(a), al-malikul-quddūsus-salāmul-mu'minul-muhaiminul-‘azīzul-jabbārul-mutakabbir(u), subḥānallāhi ‘ammā yusyrikūn(a).

    He is Allah—there is no god except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher ˹of all˺, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might, the Majestic. Glorified is Allah far above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!

24. هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْاَسْمَاۤءُ الْحُسْنٰىۗ يُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ ࣖ

    Huwallāhul-khāliqul-bāri'ul-muṣawwiru lahul-asmā'ul-ḥusnā, yusabbiḥu lahū mā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

    He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He ˹alone˺ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
