Surah At Tawbah

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

1. بَرَاۤءَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖٓ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ عَاهَدْتُّمْ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَۗ

   Barā'atum minallāhi wa rasūlihī ilal-lażīna ‘āhattum minal-musyrikīn(a).

   ˹This is˺ a discharge from all obligations, by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ˹believers˺ have entered into treaties with:

2. فَسِيْحُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَّاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى اللّٰهِ ۙوَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْزِى الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

   Fasīḥū fil-arḍi arba‘ata asyhuriw wa‘lamū annakum gairu mu‘jizillāh(i), wa anallāha mukhzil-kāfirīn(a).

   “You ˹polytheists˺ may travel freely through the land for four months, but know that you will have no escape from Allah, and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers.”

3. وَاَذَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖٓ اِلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الْاَكْبَرِ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ ەۙ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۗفَاِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْۚ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى اللّٰهِ ۗوَبَشِّرِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍۙ

   Wa ażānum minallāhi wa rasūlihī ilan-nāsi yaumal-ḥajjil akbari annallāha barī'um minal-musyrikīn(a), wa rasūluh(ū), fa in tubtum fa huwa khairul lakum, wa in tawallaitum fa‘lamū annakum gairu mu‘jizillāh(i), wa basysyiril-lażīna kafarū bi‘ażābin alīm(in).

   A declaration from Allah and His Messenger ˹is made˺ to all people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and His Messenger are free of the polytheists. So if you ˹pagans˺ repent, it will be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you will have no escape from Allah. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the disbelievers of a painful punishment.

4. اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ عَاهَدْتُّمْ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْقُصُوْكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَمْ يُظَاهِرُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ اَحَدًا فَاَتِمُّوْٓا اِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ اِلٰى مُدَّتِهِمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ

   Illal-lażīna ‘āhattum minal-musyrikīna ṡumma lam yanquṣūkum syai'aw wa lam yuẓāhirū ‘alaikum aḥadan fa atimmū ilaihim ‘ahdahum ilā muddatihim, innallāha yuḥibbul-muttaqīn(a).

   As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

5. فَاِذَا انْسَلَخَ الْاَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ وَخُذُوْهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوْهُمْ وَاقْعُدُوْا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍۚ فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَخَلُّوْا سَبِيْلَهُمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

   Fa iżansalakhal-asyhurul-ḥurumu faqtulul-musyrikīna ḥaiṡu wajattumūhum wa khużūhum waḥṣurūhum waq‘udū lahum kulla marṣad(in), fa in tābū wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātawuz-zakāta fa khallū sabīlahum, innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).

   But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ˹who violated their treaties˺ wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

6. وَاِنْ اَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَاَجِرْهُ حَتّٰى يَسْمَعَ كَلٰمَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ اَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهٗ ۗذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ

   Wa in aḥadum minal-musyrikīnastajāraka fa ajirhu ḥattā yasma‘a kalāmallāhi ṡumma ablighu ma'manah(ū), żālika bi'annahum qaumul lā ya‘lamūn(a).

   And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ˹O Prophet˺, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge.

7. كَيْفَ يَكُوْنُ لِلْمُشْرِكِيْنَ عَهْدٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنْدَ رَسُوْلِهٖٓ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ عَاهَدْتُّمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۚ فَمَا اسْتَقَامُوْا لَكُمْ فَاسْتَقِيْمُوْا لَهُمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ

   Kaifa yakūnu lil-musyrikīna ‘ahdun ‘indallāhi wa ‘inda rasūlihī illal-lażīna ‘āhattum ‘indal-masjidil-ḥarām(i), famastaqāmū lakum fastaqīmū lahum, innallāha yuḥibbul-muttaqīn(a).

   How can such polytheists have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger, except those you have made a treaty with at the Sacred Mosque? So, as long as they are true to you, be true to them. Indeed Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

8. كَيْفَ وَاِنْ يَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُوْا فِيْكُمْ اِلًّا وَّلَا ذِمَّةً ۗيُرْضُوْنَكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَأْبٰى قُلُوْبُهُمْۚ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَۚ

   Kaifa wa iy yaẓharū ‘alaikum lā yarqubū fīkum illaw wa lā żimmah(tan), yurḍūnakum bi'afwāhihim wa ta'bā qulūbuhum, wa akṡaruhum fāsiqūn(a).

   How ˹can they have a treaty˺? If they were to have the upper hand over you, they would have no respect for kinship or treaty. They only flatter you with their tongues, but their hearts are in denial, and most of them are rebellious.

9. اِشْتَرَوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيْلًا فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِهٖۗ اِنَّهُمْ سَاۤءَ مَاكَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

   Isytarau bi'āyātillāhi ṡaman qalīlan fa ṣaddū ‘an sabīlih(ī), innahum sā'a mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

   They chose a fleeting gain over Allah’s revelations, hindering ˹others˺ from His Way. Evil indeed is what they have done!

10. لَا يَرْقُبُوْنَ فِيْ مُؤْمِنٍ اِلًّا وَّلَا ذِمَّةً ۗوَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُوْنَ

    Lā yarqubūna fī mu'minin illaw wa lā żimmah(tan),ulā'ika humul-mu‘tadūn(a)

    They do not honour the bonds of kinship or treaties with the believers. It is they who are the transgressors.

11. فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ ۗوَنُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَّعْلَمُوْنَ

    Fa in tābū wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātawuz-zakāta fa ikhwānukum fid-dīn(i), wa nufaṣṣīlul-āyāti liqaumiy ya‘lamūn(a).

    But if they repent, perform prayer, and pay alms-tax, then they are your brothers in faith. This is how We make the revelations clear for people of knowledge.

12. وَاِنْ نَّكَثُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُوْا فِيْ دِيْنِكُمْ فَقَاتِلُوْٓا اَىِٕمَّةَ الْكُفْرِۙ اِنَّهُمْ لَآ اَيْمَانَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنْتَهُوْنَ

    Wa in nakaṡū aimānahum mim ba‘di ‘ahdihim wa ṭa‘anū fī dīnikum fa qātilū a'immatal-kufr(i), innahum lā aimāna lahum la‘allahum yantahūn(a).

    But if they break their oaths after making a pledge and attack your faith, then fight the champions of disbelief—who never honour their oaths—so perhaps they will desist.

13. اَلَا تُقَاتِلُوْنَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُوْٓا اَيْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّوْا بِاِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُوْلِ وَهُمْ بَدَءُوْكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۗ اَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ ۚفَاللّٰهُ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَخْشَوْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

    Alā tuqātilūna qauman nakaṡū aimānahum wa hammū bi'ikhrājir-rasūli wa hum bada'ūkum awwala marrah(tin), atakhsyaunahum, fallāhu aḥaqqu an takhsyauhu in kuntum mu'minīn(a).

    Will you not fight those who have broken their oaths, conspired to expel the Messenger ˹from Mecca˺, and attacked you first? Do you fear them? Allah is more deserving of your fear, if you are ˹true˺ believers.

14. قَاتِلُوْهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاَيْدِيْكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُوْرَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَۙ

    Qātilūhum yu‘ażżibhumullāhu bi'aidīkum wa yukhzihim wa yanṣurkum ‘alaihim wa yasyfi ṣudūra qaumim mu'minīn(a).

    ˹So˺ fight them and Allah will punish them at your hands, put them to shame, help you overcome them, and soothe the hearts of the believers—

15. وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوْبِهِمْۗ وَيَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Wa yużhib gaiẓa qulūbihim, wa yatūbullāhu ‘alā may yasyā'(u), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

    removing rage from their hearts. And Allah pardons whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

16. اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تُتْرَكُوْا وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ جَاهَدُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا رَسُوْلِهٖ وَلَا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَلِيْجَةً ۗوَاللّٰهُ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ࣖ

    Am ḥasibtum an tutrakū wa lammā ya‘lamillāhul-lażīna jāhadū minkum wa lam yattakhiżū min dūnillāhi wa lā rasūlihī wa lal-mu'minīna walījah(tan), wallāhu khabīrum bimā ta‘malūn(a).

    Do you ˹believers˺ think that you will be left without Allah proving who among you ˹truly˺ struggles ˹in His cause˺ and never takes trusted allies other than Allah, His Messenger, or the believers? And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

17. مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِيْنَ اَنْ يَّعْمُرُوْا مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ شٰهِدِيْنَ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْۚ وَ فِى النَّارِ هُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَ

    Mā kāna lil-musyrikīna ay ya‘murū masājidallāhi syāhidīna ‘alā anfusihim bil-kufr(i), ulā'ika ḥabiṭat a‘māluhum, wa fin-nāri hum khālidūn(a).

    It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah while they openly profess disbelief. Their deeds are void, and they will be in the Fire forever.

18. اِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَى الزَّكٰوةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۗفَعَسٰٓى اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِيْنَ

    Innamā ya‘muru masājidallāhi man āmana billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhiri wa aqāmaṣ-ṣalāta wa ātaz-zakāta wa lam yakhsya illallāh(a), fa ‘asā ulā'ika ay yakūnū minal-muhtadīn(a).

    The mosques of Allah should only be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and fear none but Allah. It is right to hope that they will be among the ˹truly˺ guided.

19. ۞ اَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاۤجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗ لَا يَسْتَوٗنَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۘ

    Aja‘altum siqāyatal-ḥājji wa ‘imāratal-masjidil-ḥarāmi kaman āmana billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhiri wa jāhada fī sabīlillāh(i), lā yastawūna ‘indallāh(i), wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    Do you ˹pagans˺ consider providing the pilgrims with water and maintaining the Sacred Mosque as equal to believing in Allah and the Last Day and struggling in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in Allah’s sight. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

20. اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجَاهَدُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۙ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفَاۤىِٕزُوْنَ

    Allażīna āmanū wa hājarū wa jāhadū fī sabīlillāhi bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim, a‘ẓamu darajatan ‘indallāh(i), wa ulā'ika humul-fā'izūn(a).

    Those who have believed, emigrated, and strived in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah. It is they who will triumph.

21. يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَّجَنّٰتٍ لَّهُمْ فِيْهَا نَعِيْمٌ مُّقِيْمٌۙ

    Yubasysyiruhum rabbuhum biraḥmatim minhu wa riḍwāniw wa jannātil lahum fīhā na‘īmum muqīm(un).

    Their Lord gives them good news of His mercy, pleasure, and Gardens with everlasting bliss,

22. خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗٓ اَجْرٌ عَظِيْمٌ

    Khālidīna fīhā abadā(n), innallāha ‘indahū ajrun ‘aẓīm(un).

    to stay there for ever and ever. Surely with Allah is a great reward.

23. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْٓا اٰبَاۤءَكُمْ وَاِخْوَانَكُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ اِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَى الْاِيْمَانِۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَلَّهُمْ مِّنْكُمْ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tattakhiżū ābā'akum wa ikhwānakum auliyā'a inistaḥabbul-kufra ‘alal-īmān(i), wa may yatawallahum minkum fa ulā'ika humuẓ-ẓālimūn(a).

    O believers! Do not take your parents and siblings as trusted allies if they choose disbelief over belief. And whoever of you does so, they are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.

24. قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ اٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ وَاَبْنَاۤؤُكُمْ وَاِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيْرَتُكُمْ وَاَمْوَالُ ِۨاقْتَرَفْتُمُوْهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسٰكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَآ اَحَبَّ اِلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَجِهَادٍ فِيْ سَبِيْلِهٖ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ ࣖ

    Qul in kāna ābā'ukum wa abnā'ukum wa ikhwānukum wa azwājukum wa ‘asyīratukum wa amwāluniqtaraftumūhā wa tijāratun takhsyauna kasādahā wa masākinu tarḍaunahā aḥabba ilaikum minallāhi wa rasūlihī wa jihādin fī sabīlihī fa tarabbaṣū ḥattā ya'tiyallāhu bi'amrih(ī), wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumal-fāsiqīn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If your parents and children and siblings and spouses and extended family and the wealth you have acquired and the trade you fear will decline and the homes you cherish—˹if all these˺ are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and struggling in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His Will. Allah does not guide the rebellious people.”

25. لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِيْ مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيْرَةٍۙ وَّيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍۙ اِذْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُّدْبِرِيْنَۚ

    Laqad naṣarakumullāhu fī mawāṭina kaṡīrah(tin), wa yauma ḥunain(in), iż a‘jabatkum kaṡratukum falam tugni ‘ankum syai'aw wa ḍāqat ‘alaikumul-arḍu bimā raḥubat ṡumma wallaitum mudbirīn(a).

    Indeed Allah has given you ˹believers˺ victory on many battlefields, even at the Battle of Ḥunain when you took pride in your great numbers, but they proved of no advantage to you. The earth, despite its vastness, seemed to close in on you, then you turned back in retreat.

26. ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِيْنَتَهٗ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَاَنْزَلَ جُنُوْدًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ وَذٰلِكَ جَزَاۤءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

    Ṡumma anzalallāhu sakīnatahū ‘alā rasūlihī wa ‘alal-mu'minīna wa anzala junūdal lam tarauhā wa ‘ażżabal-lażīna kafarū, wa żālika jazā'ul-kāfirīn(a).

    Then Allah sent down His reassurance upon His Messenger and the believers, and sent down forces you could not see, and punished those who disbelieved. Such was the reward of the disbelievers.

27. ثُمَّ يَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلٰى مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

    Ṡumma yatūbullāhu mim ba‘di żālika ‘alā may yasyā'(u), wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    Then afterwards Allah will turn in grace to whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

28. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هٰذَا ۚوَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيْكُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖٓ اِنْ شَاۤءَۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū innamal-musyrikūna najasun falā yaqrabul-masjidal-ḥarāma ba‘da ‘āmihim hāżā, wa in khiftum ‘ailatan fa saufa yugnīkumullāhu min faḍlihī in syā'(a), innallāha ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

    O believers! Indeed, the polytheists are ˹spiritually˺ impure, so they should not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His bounty, if He wills. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

29. قَاتِلُوا الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُوْنَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَلَا يَدِيْنُوْنَ دِيْنَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ حَتّٰى يُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَّدٍ وَّهُمْ صٰغِرُوْنَ ࣖ

    Qātilul-lażīna lā yu'minūna billāhi wa lā bil-yaumil-ākhiri wa lā yuḥarrimūna mā ḥarramallāhu wa rasūluhū wa lā yadīnūna dīnal-ḥaqqi minal-lażīna ūtul-kitāba ḥattā yu‘ṭul-jizyata ‘ay yadiw wa hum ṣāgirūn(a).

    Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the tax, willingly submitting, fully humbled.

30. وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُوْدُ عُزَيْرُ ِۨابْنُ اللّٰهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصٰرَى الْمَسِيْحُ ابْنُ اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْۚ يُضَاهِـُٔوْنَ قَوْلَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۗقَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۚ اَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُوْنَ

    Wa qālatil-yahūdu ‘uzairunibnullāhi wa qālatin-naṣāral-masīḥubnullāh(i), żālika qauluhum bi'afwāhihim, yuḍāhi'ūna qaulal-lażīna kafarū min qabl(u), qātalahumullāh(u), annā yu'fakūn(a).

    The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” while the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded ˹from the truth˺?

31. اِتَّخَذُوْٓا اَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ اَرْبَابًا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَسِيْحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَۚ وَمَآ اُمِرُوْٓا اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًاۚ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۗ سُبْحٰنَهٗ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

    Ittakhażū aḥbārahum wa ruhbānahum arbābam min dūnillāhi wal-masīḥabna maryam(a), wa mā umirū illā liya‘budū ilāhaw wāḥidā(n), lā ilāha illā huw(a), subḥānahū ‘ammā yusyrikūn(a).

    They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides Allah, even though they were commanded to worship none but One God. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. Glorified is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

32. يُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يُّطْفِـُٔوْا نُوْرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّٰهُ اِلَّآ اَنْ يُّتِمَّ نُوْرَهٗ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ

    Yurīdūna ay yuṭfi'ū nūrallāhi bi'afwāhihim wa ya'ballāhu illā ay yutimma nūrahū wa lau karihal-kāfirūn(a).

    They wish to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will only allow His light to be perfected, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.

33. هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰى وَدِيْنِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَى الدِّيْنِ كُلِّهٖۙ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ

    Huwal-lażī arsala rasūlahū bil-hudā wa dīnil-ḥaqqi liyuẓhirahū ‘alad-dīni kullih(ī), wa lau karihal-musyrikūn(a).

    He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.

34. ۞ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنَّ كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الْاَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ يَكْنِزُوْنَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُوْنَهَا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۙفَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍۙ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū inna kaṡīram minal-aḥbāri war-ruhbāni laya'kulūna amwālan-nāsi bil-bāṭili wa yaṣuddūna ‘an sabīlillāh(i), wal-lażīna yaknizūnaż-żahaba wal-fiḍḍata wa lā yunfiqūnahā fī sabīlillāh(i), fa basysyirhum bi‘ażābin alīm(in).

    O believers! Indeed, many rabbis and monks consume people’s wealth wrongfully and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah. Give good news of a painful torment to those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah’s cause.

35. يَّوْمَ يُحْمٰى عَلَيْهَا فِيْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوٰى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوْبُهُمْ وَظُهُوْرُهُمْۗ هٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُوْنَ

    Yauma yuḥmā ‘alaihā fī nāri jahannama fa tukwā bihā jibāhuhum wa junūbuhum wa ẓuhūruhum, hāżā mā kanaztum li'anfusikum fa żūqū mā kuntum taknizūn(a).

    The Day ˹will come˺ when their treasure will be heated up in the Fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs branded with it. ˹It will be said to them,˺ “This is the treasure you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste what you hoarded!”

36. اِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُوْرِ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِيْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ مِنْهَآ اَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۗذٰلِكَ الدِّيْنُ الْقَيِّمُ ەۙ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوْا فِيْهِنَّ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ كَاۤفَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ كَاۤفَّةً ۗوَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ

    Inna ‘iddatasy-syuhūri ‘indallāhiṡnā ‘asyara syahran fī kitābillāhi yauma khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa minhā arba‘atun ḥurum(un), żālikad-dīnul-qayyim(u), falā taẓlimū fīhinna anfusakum wa qātilul-musyrikīna kāffatan kamā yuqātilūnakum kāffah(tan), wa‘lamū annallāha ma‘al-muttaqīn(a).

    Indeed, the number of months ordained by Allah is twelve—in Allah’s Record since the day He created the heavens and the earth—of which four are sacred. That is the Right Way. So do not wrong one another during these months. And together fight the polytheists as they fight against you together. And know that Allah is with those mindful ˹of Him˺.

37. اِنَّمَا النَّسِيْۤءُ زِيَادَةٌ فِى الْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُحِلُّوْنَهٗ عَامًا وَّيُحَرِّمُوْنَهٗ عَامًا لِّيُوَاطِـُٔوْا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ فَيُحِلُّوْا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ ۗزُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ اَعْمَالِهِمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ ࣖ

    Innaman-nasī'u ziyādatun fil-kufri yuḍallu bihil-lażīna kafarū yuḥillūnahū ‘āmaw wa yuḥarrimūnahū ‘āmal liyuwāṭi'ū ‘iddata mā ḥarramallāhu fa yuḥillū mā ḥarramallāh(u), zuyyina lahum sū'u a‘mālihim, wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumal-kāfirīn(a).

    Reallocating the sanctity of ˹these˺ months is an increase in disbelief, by which the disbelievers are led ˹far˺ astray. They adjust the sanctity one year and uphold it in another, only to maintain the number of months sanctified by Allah, violating the very months Allah has made sacred. Their evil deeds have been made appealing to them. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

38. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا قِيْلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَى الْاَرْضِۗ اَرَضِيْتُمْ بِالْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ

    O believers! What is the matter with you that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling firmly to ˹your˺ land? Do you prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to that of the Hereafter.

39. اِلَّا تَنْفِرُوْا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًاۙ وَّيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْهُ شَيْـًٔاۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

    Illā tanfirū yu‘ażżibkum ‘ażāban alīmā(n), wa yastabdil qauman gairakum wa lā taḍurrūhu syai'ā(n), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

    If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

40. اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّٰهُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ اِذْ هُمَا فِى الْغَارِ اِذْ يَقُوْلُ لِصَاحِبِهٖ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَنَاۚ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِيْنَتَهٗ عَلَيْهِ وَاَيَّدَهٗ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰىۗ وَكَلِمَةُ اللّٰهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Illā tanṣurūhu faqad naṣarahullāhu iż akhrajahul-lażīna kafarū ṡāniyaṡnaini iż humā fil-gāri iż yaqūlu liṣāḥibihī lā taḥzan innallāha ma‘anā, fa anzalallāhu sakīnatahū ‘alaihi wa ayyadahū bijunūdil lam tarauhā wa ja‘ala kalimatal-lażīna kafarus-suflā, wa kalimatullāhi hiyal-‘ulyā, wallāhu ‘azīzun ḥakīm(un).

    ˹It does not matter˺ if you ˹believers˺ do not support him, for Allah did in fact support him when the disbelievers drove him out ˹of Mecca˺ and he was only one of two. While they both were in the cave, he reassured his companion, “Do not worry, for Allah is certainly with us.” So Allah sent down His serenity upon the Prophet, supported him with forces you ˹believers˺ did not see, and made the word of the disbelievers lowest, while the Word of Allah is supreme. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

41. اِنْفِرُوْا خِفَافًا وَّثِقَالًا وَّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

    Infirū khifāfaw wa ṡiqālaw wa jāhidū bi'amwālikum wa anfusikum fī sabīlillāh(i), żālikum khairul lakum in kuntum ta‘lamūn(a).

    ˹O believers!˺ March forth whether it is easy or difficult for you, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if only you knew.

42. لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيْبًا وَّسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَلٰكِنْۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُۗ وَسَيَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْۚ يُهْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ࣖ

    Lau kāna ‘araḍan qarībaw wa safaran qāṣidal lattaba‘ūka wa lākim ba‘udat ‘alaihimusy-syuqqah(tu), wa sayaḥlifūna billāhi lawistaṭa‘nā lakharajnā ma‘akum, yuhlikūna anfusahum, wallāhu ya‘lamu innahum lakāżibūn(a).

    Had the gain been within reach and the journey shorter, they would have followed you, but the distance seemed too long for them. And they will swear by Allah, “Had we been able, we would have certainly joined you.” They are ruining themselves. And Allah knows that they are surely lying.

43. عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْكَۚ لِمَ اَذِنْتَ لَهُمْ حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَتَعْلَمَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ

    ‘Afallāhu ‘ank(a), lima ażinta lahum ḥattā yatabayyana lakal-lażīna ṣadaqū wa ta‘lamal-kāżibīn(a).

    May Allah pardon you ˹O Prophet˺! Why did you give them permission ˹to stay behind˺ before those who told the truth were distinguished from those who were lying?

44. لَا يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذِيْنَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ يُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِيْنَ

    Lā yasta'żinukal-lażīna yu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhiri ay yujāhidū bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim, wallāhu ‘alīmum bil-muttaqīn(a).

    Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask for exemption from striving with their wealth and their lives. And Allah has perfect knowledge of those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

45. اِنَّمَا يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَارْتَابَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيْ رَيْبِهِمْ يَتَرَدَّدُوْنَ

    Innamā yasta'żinukal-lażīna lā yu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhiri wartābat qulūbuhum fahum fī raibihim yataraddadūn(a).

    No one would ask for exemption except those who have no faith in Allah or the Last Day, and whose hearts are in doubt, so they are torn by their doubts.

46. ۞ وَلَوْ اَرَادُوا الْخُرُوْجَ لَاَعَدُّوْا لَهٗ عُدَّةً وَّلٰكِنْ كَرِهَ اللّٰهُ انْۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيْلَ اقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْقٰعِدِيْنَ

    Wa lau arādul-khurūja la'a‘addū lahū ‘uddataw wa lākin karihallāhumbi‘āṡahum fa ṡabbaṭahum wa qīlaq‘udū ma‘al-qā‘idīn(a).

    Had they ˹really˺ intended to march forth, they would have made preparations for it. But Allah disliked that they should go, so He let them lag behind, and it was said ˹to them˺, “Stay with those ˹helpless˺ who remain behind.”

47. لَوْ خَرَجُوْا فِيْكُمْ مَّا زَادُوْكُمْ اِلَّا خَبَالًا وَّلَاَوْضَعُوْا خِلٰلَكُمْ يَبْغُوْنَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَۚ وَفِيْكُمْ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لَهُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِيْنَ

    Wa lau kharajū fīkum mā zādūkum illā khabālaw wa la'auḍa‘ū khilālakum yabgūnakumul-fitnah(ta), wa fīkum sammā‘ūna lahum, wallāhu ‘alīmum biẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

    Had they gone forth with you ˹believers˺, they would have been nothing but trouble for you, and would have scrambled around, seeking to spread discord in your midst. And some of you would have eagerly listened to them. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.

48. لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوْا لَكَ الْاُمُوْرَ حَتّٰى جَاۤءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَهُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ

    Laqadibtagawul-fitnata min qablu wa qallabū lakal-umūra ḥattā jā'al-ḥaqqu wa ẓahara amrullāhi wa hum kārihūn(a).

    They had already sought to spread discord before and devised every ˹possible˺ plot against you ˹O Prophet˺, until the truth came and Allah’s Will prevailed—much to their dismay.

49. وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّقُوْلُ ائْذَنْ لِّيْ وَلَا تَفْتِنِّيْۗ اَلَا فِى الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوْاۗ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيْطَةٌ ۢ بِالْكٰفِرِيْنَ

    Wa minhum may yaqūlu'żal lī wa lā taftinnī, alā fil-fitnati saqaṭū, wa inna jahannama lamuḥīṭatum bil-kāfirīn(a).

    There are some of them who say, “Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.” They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers.

50. اِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِيْبَةٌ يَّقُوْلُوْا قَدْ اَخَذْنَآ اَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ فَرِحُوْنَ

    In tuṣibka ḥasanatun tasu'hum, wa in tuṣibka muṣībatuy yaqūlū qad akhażnā min qablu wa yatawallau wa hum fariḥūn(a).

    If a blessing befalls you ˹O Prophet˺, they grieve, but if a disaster befalls you, they say, “We took our precaution in advance,” and turn away, rejoicing.

51. قُلْ لَّنْ يُّصِيْبَنَآ اِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَنَاۚ هُوَ مَوْلٰىنَا وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ

    Qul lay yuṣībanā illā mā kataballāhu lanā, huwa maulānā wa ‘alallāhi falyatawakkalil-mu'minūn(a).

    Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

52. قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُوْنَ بِنَآ اِلَّآ اِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِۗ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖٓ اَوْ بِاَيْدِيْنَاۖ فَتَرَبَّصُوْٓا اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّتَرَبِّصُوْنَ

    Qul hal tarabbaṣūna binā illā iḥdal-ḥusnayain(i), wa naḥnu natarabbaṣu bikum ay yuṣībakumullāhu bi‘ażābim min ‘indihī au bi'aidīnā, fa tarabbaṣū innā ma‘akum mutarabbiṣūn(a).

    Say, “Are you awaiting anything to befall us except one of the two best things: ˹victory or martyrdom˺? But We are awaiting Allah to afflict you with torment either from Him or at our hands. So keep waiting! We too are waiting with you.”

53. قُلْ اَنْفِقُوْا طَوْعًا اَوْ كَرْهًا لَّنْ يُّتَقَبَّلَ مِنْكُمْ ۗاِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا فٰسِقِيْنَ

    Qul anfiqū ṭau‘an au karhal lay yutaqabbala minkum, innakum kuntum qauman fāsiqīn(a).

    Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹Whether you˺ donate willingly or unwillingly, it will never be accepted from you, for you have been a rebellious people.”

54. وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ اَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقٰتُهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِرَسُوْلِهٖ وَلَا يَأْتُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ اِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالٰى وَلَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ اِلَّا وَهُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ

    Wa mā mana‘ahum an tuqbala minhum nafaqātuhum illā annahum kafarū billāhi wa birasūlihī wa lā ya'tūnaṣ-ṣalāta illā wa hum kusālā wa lā yunfiqūna illā wa hum kārihūn(a).

    And what prevented their donations from being accepted is that they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger, they never come to prayer except half-heartedly, and they never donate except resentfully.

55. فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَآ اَوْلَادُهُمْ ۗاِنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

    Falā tu‘jibka amwāluhum wa lā aulāduhum, innamā yurīdullāhu liyu‘ażżibahum bihā fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā wa tazhaqa anfusuhum wa hum kāfirūn(a).

    So let neither their wealth nor children impress you ˹O Prophet˺. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this worldly life, then their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.

56. وَيَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ اِنَّهُمْ لَمِنْكُمْۗ وَمَا هُمْ مِّنْكُمْ وَلٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَّفْرَقُوْنَ

    Wa yaḥlifūna billāhi innahum laminkum, wa mā hum minkum wa lākinnahum qaumuy yafraqūn(a).

    They swear by Allah that they are part of you, but they are not. They only say so out of fear.

57. لَوْ يَجِدُوْنَ مَلْجَاً اَوْ مَغٰرٰتٍ اَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْا اِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُوْنَ

    Lau yajidūna malja'an au magārātin au muddakhalal lawallau ilaihi wa hum yajmaḥūn(a).

    If only they could find a refuge, or a cave, or any hiding-place, they would rush headlong towards it.

58. وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّلْمِزُكَ فِى الصَّدَقٰتِۚ فَاِنْ اُعْطُوْا مِنْهَا رَضُوْا وَاِنْ لَّمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْهَآ اِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُوْنَ

    Wa minhum may yalmizuka fiṣ-ṣadaqāt(i), fa in u‘ṭū minhā raḍū wa illam yu‘ṭau minhā iżā hum yaskhaṭūn(a).

    There are some of them who are critical of your distribution of alms ˹O Prophet˺. If they are given some of it they are pleased, but if not they are enraged.

59. وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ رَضُوْا مَآ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗۙ وَقَالُوْا حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ سَيُؤْتِيْنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَرَسُوْلُهٗٓ اِنَّآ اِلَى اللّٰهِ رٰغِبُوْنَ ࣖ

    Wa lau annahum raḍū mā ātāhumullāhu wa rasūluh(ū), wa qālū ḥasbunallāhu sayu'tīnallāhu min faḍlihī wa rasūluhū innā ilallāhi rāgibūn(a).

    If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger had given them and said, “Allah is sufficient for us! Allah will grant us out of His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah ˹alone˺ we turn with hope.”

60. ۞ اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَاۤءِ وَالْمَسٰكِيْنِ وَالْعٰمِلِيْنَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَفِى الرِّقَابِ وَالْغٰرِمِيْنَ وَفِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِۗ فَرِيْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Innamaṣ-ṣadaqātu lil-fuqarā'i wal-masākīni wal-‘āmilīna ‘alaihā wal-mu'allafati qulūbuhum wa fir-riqābi wal-gārimīna wa fī sabīlillāhi wabnis-sabīl(i), farīḍatam minallāh(i), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

    Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted ˹to the faith˺, for ˹freeing˺ slaves, for those in debt, for Allah’s cause, and for ˹needy˺ travellers. ˹This is˺ an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

61. وَمِنْهُمُ الَّذِيْنَ يُؤْذُوْنَ النَّبِيَّ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ هُوَ اُذُنٌ ۗقُلْ اُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ يُؤْذُوْنَ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Wa minhumul-lażīna yu'żūnan nabiyya wa yaqūlūna huwa użun(un), qul użunu khairil lakum yu'minu billāhi wa yu'minu lil-mu'minīna wa raḥmatul lil-lażīna āmanū minkum, wal-lażīna yu'żūna rasūlallāhi lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    And there are others who hurt the Prophet by saying, “He listens to anyone.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He listens to what is best for you. He believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy for those who believe among you.” Those who hurt Allah’s Messenger will suffer a painful punishment.

62. يَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوْكُمْ وَاللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗٓ اَحَقُّ اَنْ يُّرْضُوْهُ اِنْ كَانُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ

    Yaḥlifūna billāhi lakum liyurḍūkum wallāhu wa rasūluhū aḥaqqu ay yurḍūhu in kānū mu'minīn(a).

    They swear by Allah to you ˹believers˺ in order to please you, while it is the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger they should seek, if they are ˹true˺ believers.

63. اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّهٗ مَنْ يُّحَادِدِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَاَنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِيْهَاۗ ذٰلِكَ الْخِزْيُ الْعَظِيْمُ

    Alam ya‘lamū annahū may yuḥādidillāha wa rasūlahū fa anna lahū nāru jahannama khālidan fīhā, żālikal khizyul-‘aẓīm(u).

    Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger will be in the Fire of Hell forever? That is the ultimate disgrace.

64. يَحْذَرُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُوْرَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْۗ قُلِ اسْتَهْزِءُوْاۚ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُوْنَ

    Yaḥżarul-munāfiqūna an tunazzala ‘alaihim sūratun tunabbi'uhum bimā fī qulūbihim, qulistahzi'ū, innallāha mukhrijum mā taḥżarūn(a).

    The hypocrites fear that a sûrah should be revealed about them, exposing what is in their hearts. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Keep mocking! Allah will bring to light what you fear.”

65. وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوْضُ وَنَلْعَبُۗ قُلْ اَبِاللّٰهِ وَاٰيٰتِهٖ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

    Wa la'in sa'altahum layaqūlunna innamā kunnā nakhūḍū wa nal‘ab(u), qul abillāhi wa āyātihī wa rasūlihī kuntum tastahzi'ūn(a).

    If you question them, they will certainly say, “We were only talking idly and joking around.” Say, “Was it Allah, His revelations, and His Messenger that you ridiculed?”

66. لَا تَعْتَذِرُوْا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ اِيْمَانِكُمْ ۗ اِنْ نَّعْفُ عَنْ طَاۤىِٕفَةٍ مِّنْكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَاۤىِٕفَةً ۢ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ ࣖ

    Lā ta‘tażirū qad kafartum ba‘da īmānikum, in na‘fu ‘an ṭā'ifatim minkum nu‘ażżib ṭā'ifatam bi'annahum kānū mujrimīn(a).

    Make no excuses! You have lost faith after your belief. If We pardon a group of you, We will punish others for their wickedness.

67. اَلْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍۘ يَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوْفِ وَيَقْبِضُوْنَ اَيْدِيَهُمْۗ نَسُوا اللّٰهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ ۗ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ

    Al-munāfiqūna wal-munāfiqātu ba‘ḍuhum mim ba‘ḍ(in), ya'murūna bil-munkari wa yanhauna ‘anil-ma‘rūfi wa yaqbiḍūna aidiyahum, nasullāha fa nasiyahum, innal-munāfiqīna humul-fāsiqūn(a).

    The hypocrites, both men and women, are all alike: they encourage what is evil, forbid what is good, and withhold ˹what is in˺ their hands. They neglected Allah, so He neglected them. Surely the hypocrites are the rebellious.

68. وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ هِيَ حَسْبُهُمْ ۚوَلَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۚوَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيْمٌۙ

    Wa‘adallāhul-munāfiqīna wal-munāfiqāti wal-kuffāra nāra jahannama khālidīna fīhā, hiya ḥasbuhum, wa la‘anahumullāh(u), wa lahum ‘ażābum muqīm(un).

    Allah has promised the hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers an everlasting stay in the Fire of Hell—it is sufficient for them. Allah has condemned them, and they will suffer a never-ending punishment.

69. كَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوْٓا اَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّةً وَّاَكْثَرَ اَمْوَالًا وَّاَوْلَادًاۗ فَاسْتَمْتَعُوْا بِخَلَاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلَاقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِيْ خَاضُوْاۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۚوَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

    Kal-lażīna min qablikum kānū asyadda minkum quwwataw wa akṡara amwālaw wa aulādā(n), fastamta‘ū bikhalāqihim fastamta‘tum bikhalāqikum kamastamta‘al-lażīna min qablikum bikhalāqihim wa khuḍtum kal-lażī khāḍū, ulā'ika ḥabiṭat a‘māluhum fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirah(ti), ulā'ika humul-khāsirūn(a).

    ˹You hypocrites are˺ like those ˹disbelievers˺ before you. They were far superior to you in might and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their share in this life. You have enjoyed your share, just as they did. And you have engaged in idle talk, just as they did. Their deeds have become void in this world and the Hereafter. And it is they who are the ˹true˺ losers.

70. اَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَاُ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ ەۙ وَقَوْمِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَاَصْحٰبِ مَدْيَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكٰتِۗ اَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِۚ فَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُوْنَ

    Alam ya'tihim naba'ul-lażīna min qablihim qaumi nūḥiw wa ‘ādiw wa ṡamūd(a), wa qaumi ibrāhīma wa aṣḥābi madyana wal-mu'tafikāt(i), atathum rusuluhum bil-bayyināt(i), famā kānallāhu liyaẓlimahum wa lākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn(a).

    Have they not received the stories of those ˹destroyed˺ before them: the people of Noah, ’Âd, and Thamûd, the people of Abraham, the residents of Midian, and the overturned cities ˹of Lot˺? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.

71. وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءُ بَعْضٍۘ يَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَيُطِيْعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۗاُولٰۤىِٕكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Wal-mu'minūna wal-mu'minātu ba‘ḍuhum auliyā'u ba‘ḍ(in), ya'murūna bil-ma‘rūfi wa yanhauna ‘anil-munkari wa yuqīmūnaṣ-ṣalāta wa yu'tūnaz-zakāta wa yuṭī‘ūnallāha wa rasūlah(ū), ulā'ika sayarḥamuhumullāh(u), innallāha ‘azīzun ḥakīm(un).

    The believers, both men and women, are guardians of one another. They encourage good and forbid evil, establish prayer and pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. It is they who will be shown Allah’s mercy. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

72. وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا وَمَسٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِيْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنٍ ۗوَرِضْوَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ ۗذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ ࣖ

    Wa‘adallāhul-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā wa masākina ṭayyibatan fī jannāti ‘adn(in), wa riḍwānum minallāhi akbar(u), żālika huwal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

    Allah has promised the believers, both men and women, Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever, and splendid homes in the Gardens of Eternity, and—above all—the pleasure of Allah. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.

73. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗوَمَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ

    Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu jāhidil-kuffāra wal-munāfiqīna wagluẓ ‘alaihim, wa ma'wāhum jahannamu wa bi'sal-maṣīr(u).

    O Prophet! Struggle against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be firm with them. Hell will be their home. What an evil destination!

74. يَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ مَا قَالُوْا ۗوَلَقَدْ قَالُوْا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوْا بَعْدَ اِسْلَامِهِمْ وَهَمُّوْا بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُوْاۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوْٓا اِلَّآ اَنْ اَغْنٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۚفَاِنْ يَّتُوْبُوْا يَكُ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۚوَاِنْ يَّتَوَلَّوْا يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۚوَمَا لَهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ

    Yaḥlifūna billāhi mā qālū, wa laqad qālū kalimatal-kufri wa kafarū ba‘da islāmihim wa hammū bimā lam yanālū, wa mā naqamū illā an agnāhumullāhu wa rasūluhū min faḍlih(ī), fa iy yatūbū yaku khairal lahum, wa iy yatawallau yu‘ażżibhumullāhu ‘ażāban alīman fid-dun-yā wal-ākhirah(ti), wa mā lahum fil-arḍi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

    They swear by Allah that they never said anything ˹blasphemous˺, while they did in fact utter a blasphemy, lost faith after accepting Islam, and plotted what they could not carry out. It is only through resentment that they pay Allah and His Messenger back for enriching them out of His bounty! If they repent, it will be better for them. But if they turn away, Allah will torment them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no one on earth to protect or help them.

75. ۞ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ عٰهَدَ اللّٰهَ لَىِٕنْ اٰتٰىنَا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ

    Wa minhum man ‘āhadallāha la'in ātānā min faḍlihī lanaṣṣaddaqanna wa lanakūnanna minaṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

    And there are some who had made a vow to Allah: “If He gives us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity and be of the righteous.”

76. فَلَمَّآ اٰتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ بَخِلُوْا بِهٖ وَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ

    Falammā ātāhum min faḍlihī bakhilū bihī wa tawallau wa hum mu‘riḍūn(a).

    But when He gave them out of His bounty, they withheld it and turned away indifferently.

77. فَاَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهٗ بِمَآ اَخْلَفُوا اللّٰهَ مَا وَعَدُوْهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْذِبُوْنَ

    Fa a‘qabahum nifāqan fī qulūbihim ilā yaumi yalqaunahū bimā akhlafullāha mā wa‘adūhu wa bimā kānū yakżibūn(a).

    So He caused hypocrisy to plague their hearts until the Day they will meet Him, for breaking their promise to Allah and for their lies.

78. اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوٰىهُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ

    Alam ya‘lamū annallāha ya‘lamu sirrahum wa najwāhum wa annallāha ‘allāmul-guyūb(i).

    Do they not know that Allah ˹fully˺ knows their ˹evil˺ thoughts and secret talks, and that Allah is the Knower of all unseen?

79. اَلَّذِيْنَ يَلْمِزُوْنَ الْمُطَّوِّعِيْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ فِى الصَّدَقٰتِ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يَجِدُوْنَ اِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُوْنَ مِنْهُمْ ۗسَخِرَ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Allażīna yalmizūnal-muṭṭawwi‘īna minal-mu'minīna fiṣ-ṣadaqāti wal-lażīna lā yajidūna illā juhdahum fa yaskharūna minhum, sakhirallāhu minhum, wa lahum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    ˹There are˺ those who slander ˹some of˺ the believers for donating liberally and mock others for giving only the little they can afford. Allah will throw their mockery back at them, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

80. اِسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ اَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْۗ اِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِيْنَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ ۗذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۗ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ ࣖ

    Istagfir lahum au lā tastagfir lahum, in tastagfir lahum sab‘īna marratan falay yagfirallāhu lahum, żālika bi'annahum kafarū billāhi wa rasūlih(ī), wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumal-fāsiqīn(a).

    ˹It does not matter˺ whether you ˹O Prophet˺ pray for them to be forgiven or not. Even if you pray for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. That is because they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger. And Allah does not guide the rebellious people.

81. فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُوْنَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلٰفَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ وَكَرِهُوْٓا اَنْ يُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَالُوْا لَا تَنْفِرُوْا فِى الْحَرِّۗ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ اَشَدُّ حَرًّاۗ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

    Fariḥal-mukhallafūna bimaq‘adihim khilāfa rasūlillāhi wa karihū ay yujāhidū bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim fī sabīlillāhi wa qālū lā tanfirū fil-ḥarr(i), qul nāru jahannama asyaddu ḥarrā(n), lau kānū yafqahūn(a).

    Those ˹hypocrites˺ who remained behind rejoiced for doing so in defiance of the Messenger of Allah and hated ˹the prospect of˺ striving with their wealth and their lives in the cause of Allah. They said ˹to one another˺, “Do not march forth in the heat.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “The Fire of Hell is far hotter!” If only they could comprehend!

82. فَلْيَضْحَكُوْا قَلِيْلًا وَّلْيَبْكُوْا كَثِيْرًاۚ جَزَاۤءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ

    Falyaḍḥakū qalīlaw walyabkū kaṡīrā(n), jazā'am bimā kānū yaksibūn(a).

    So let them laugh a little—they will weep much as a reward for what they have committed.

83. فَاِنْ رَّجَعَكَ اللّٰهُ اِلٰى طَاۤىِٕفَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوْكَ لِلْخُرُوْجِ فَقُلْ لَّنْ تَخْرُجُوْا مَعِيَ اَبَدًا وَّلَنْ تُقَاتِلُوْا مَعِيَ عَدُوًّاۗ اِنَّكُمْ رَضِيْتُمْ بِالْقُعُوْدِ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۗ فَاقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْخٰلِفِيْنَ

    Fa ir raja‘akallāhu ilā ṭā'ifatim minhum fasta'żanūka lil-khurūji faqul lan takhrujū ma‘iya abadaw wa lan tuqātilū ma‘iya ‘aduwwā(n), innakum raḍītum bil-qu‘ūdi awwala marrah(tin), faq‘udū ma‘al-khālifīn(a).

    If Allah returns you ˹O Prophet˺ to a group of them and they ask to go forth with you, say, “You will not ever go forth or fight an enemy along with me. You preferred to stay behind the first time, so stay with those ˹helpless˺ who remain behind.”

84. وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلٰٓى اَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ مَّاتَ اَبَدًا وَّلَا تَقُمْ عَلٰى قَبْرِهٖۗ اِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَمَاتُوْا وَهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ

    Wa lā tuṣalli ‘alā aḥadim minhum māta abadaw wa lā taqum ‘alā qabrih(ī), innahum kafarū billāhi wa rasūlihī wa mātū wa hum fāsiqūn(a).

    And do not ever offer ˹funeral˺ prayers for any of their dead, nor stand by their grave ˹at burial˺, for they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger and died rebellious.

85. وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَاَوْلَادُهُمْۗ اِنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُّعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِى الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

    Wa lā tu‘jibka amwāluhum wa lā aulāduhum, innamā yurīdullāhu ay yu‘ażżibahum bihā fid-dun-yā wa tazhaqa anfusuhum wa hum kāfirūn(a).

    And let neither their wealth nor children impress you ˹O Prophet˺. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this world, and ˹then˺ their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.

86. وَاِذَآ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ اَنْ اٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَجَاهِدُوْا مَعَ رَسُوْلِهِ اسْتَأْذَنَكَ اُولُوا الطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُوْا ذَرْنَا نَكُنْ مَّعَ الْقٰعِدِيْنَ

    Wa iżā unzilat sūratun an āminū billāhi wa jāhidū ma‘a rasūlihista'żanaka uluṭ-ṭauli minhum wa qālū żarnā nakum ma‘al-qā‘idīn(a).

    Whenever a sûrah is revealed stating, “Believe in Allah and struggle along with His Messenger,” the rich among them would ask to be exempt, saying, “Leave us with those who remain behind.”

87. رَضُوْا بِاَنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

    Raḍū bi'ay yakūnū ma‘al-khawālifi wa ṭubi‘a ‘alā qulūbihim fahum lā yafqahūn(a).

    They preferred to stay behind with helpless women, and their hearts have been sealed so they do not comprehend.

88. لٰكِنِ الرَّسُوْلُ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ جَاهَدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۗ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرٰتُ ۖوَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ

    Lākinir-rasūlu wal-lażīna āmanū ma‘ahū jāhadū bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim, wa ulā'ika lahumul-khairāt(u), wa ulā'ika humul-mufliḥūn(a).

    But the Messenger and the believers with him strived with their wealth and their lives. They will have all the best, and it is they who will be successful.

89. اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ ࣖ

    A‘addallāhu lahum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā, żālikal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

    Allah has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. That is the ultimate triumph.

90. وَجَاۤءَ الْمُعَذِّرُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۗسَيُصِيْبُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

    Wa jā'al-mu‘ażżirūna minal-a‘rābi liyu'żana lahum wa qa‘adal-lażīna każabullāha wa rasūlah(ū), sayuṣībul-lażīna kafarū minhum ‘ażābun alīm(un).

    Some nomadic Arabs ˹also˺ came with excuses, seeking exemption. And those who were untrue to Allah and His Messenger remained behind ˹with no excuse˺. The unfaithful among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment.

91. لَيْسَ عَلَى الضُّعَفَاۤءِ وَلَا عَلَى الْمَرْضٰى وَلَا عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَجِدُوْنَ مَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ حَرَجٌ اِذَا نَصَحُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۗ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ مِنْ سَبِيْلٍ ۗوَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌۙ

    Laisa ‘alaḍ-ḍu‘afā'i wa lā ‘alal-marḍā wa lā ‘alal-lażīna lā yajidūna mā yunfiqūna ḥarajun iżā naṣaḥū lillāhi wa rasūlih(ī), mā ‘alal-muḥsinīna min sabīl(in), wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    There is no blame on the weak, the sick, or those lacking the means ˹if they stay behind˺, as long as they are true to Allah and His Messenger. There is no blame on the good-doers. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

92. وَّلَا عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا مَآ اَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ اَجِدُ مَآ اَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ ۖتَوَلَّوْا وَّاَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيْضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا اَلَّا يَجِدُوْا مَا يُنْفِقُوْنَۗ

    Wa lā ‘alal-lażīna iżā mā atauka litaḥmilahum qulta lā ajidu mā aḥmilukum ‘alaih(i), tawallau wa a‘yunuhum tafīḍu minad dam‘i ḥazanan allā yajidū mā yunfiqūn(a).

    Nor ˹is there any blame on˺ those who came to you ˹O Prophet˺ for mounts, then when you said, “I can find no mounts for you,” they left with eyes overflowing with tears out of grief that they had nothing to contribute.

93. ۞ اِنَّمَا السَّبِيْلُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَأْذِنُوْنَكَ وَهُمْ اَغْنِيَاۤءُۚ رَضُوْا بِاَنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِۙ وَطَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۔

    Innamas-sabīlu ‘alal-lażīna yasta'żinūnaka wa hum agniyā'(u), raḍū bi'ay yakūnū ma‘al-khawālif(i), wa ṭaba‘allāhu ‘alā qulūbihim fahum lā ya‘lamūn(a).

    Blame is only on those who seek exemption from you although they have the means. They preferred to stay behind with helpless women, and Allah has sealed their hearts so they do not realize ˹the consequences˺.

94. يَعْتَذِرُوْنَ اِلَيْكُمْ اِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ اِلَيْهِمْ ۗ قُلْ لَّا تَعْتَذِرُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّاَنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ اَخْبَارِكُمْ وَسَيَرَى اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰى عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

    Ya‘tażirūna ilaikum iżā raja‘tum ilaihim, qul lā ta‘tażirū lan nu'mina lakum qad nabba'anallāhu min akhbārikum wa sayarallāhu ‘amalakum wa rasūluhū ṡumma turaddūna ilā ‘ālimil-gaibi wasy-syahādati fa yunabbi'ukum bimā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

    They will make excuses to you ˹believers˺ when you return to them. Say, “Make no excuses, ˹for˺ we will not believe you. Allah has already informed us about your ˹true˺ state ˹of faith˺. Your ˹future˺ deeds will be observed by Allah and His Messenger as well. And you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, then He will inform you of what you used to do.”

95. سَيَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ اِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمْ ۗ فَاَعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمْ ۗ اِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌۙ وَّمَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَاۤءً ۢبِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ

    Sayaḥlifūna billāhi lakum iżanqalabtum ilaihim litu‘riḍū ‘anhum, fa a‘riḍū ‘anhum, innahum rijs(un), wa ma'wāhum jahannamu jazā'am bimā kānū yaksibūn(a).

    When you return, they will swear to you by Allah so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone—they are truly evil. Hell will be their home as a reward for what they have committed.

96. يَحْلِفُوْنَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ ۚفَاِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَرْضٰى عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ

    Yaḥlifūna lakum litarḍau ‘anhum, fa in tarḍau ‘anhum fa innallāha lā yarḍā ‘anil-qaumil-fāsiqīn(a).

    They will swear to you in order to please you. And even if you are pleased with them, Allah will never be pleased with the rebellious people.

97. اَلْاَعْرَابُ اَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَّنِفَاقًا وَّاَجْدَرُ اَلَّا يَعْلَمُوْا حُدُوْدَ مَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Al-a‘rābu asyaddu kufraw wa nifāqaw wa ajdaru allā ya‘lamū ḥudūda mā anzalallāhu ‘alā rasūlih(ī), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

    The nomadic Arabs ˹around Medina˺ are far worse in disbelief and hypocrisy, and less likely to know the laws revealed by Allah to His Messenger. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

98. وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ يَّتَّخِذُ مَا يُنْفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَّيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَاۤىِٕرَ ۗعَلَيْهِمْ دَاۤىِٕرَةُ السَّوْءِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ

    Wa minal-a‘rābi may yattakhiżu mā yunfiqu magramaw wa yatarabbaṣu bikumud-dawā'ir(a), ‘alaihim dā'iratus-sau'(i), wallāhu samī‘un ‘alīm(un).

    And among the nomads are those who consider what they donate to be a loss and await your misfortune. May ill-fortune befall them! And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

99. وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنْفِقُ قُرُبٰتٍ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَوٰتِ الرَّسُوْلِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌ لَّهُمْ ۗ سَيُدْخِلُهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Wa minal-a‘rābi may yu'minu billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhiri wa yattakhiżu mā yunfiqu qurubātin ‘indallāhi wa ṣalawātir-rasūl(i), alā innahā qurbatul lahum, sayudkhiluhumullāhu fī raḥmatih(ī), innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    However, among the nomadic Arabs are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and consider what they donate as a means of coming closer to Allah and ˹receiving˺ the prayers of the Messenger. It will certainly bring them closer. Allah will admit them into His mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

100. وَالسّٰبِقُوْنَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُهٰجِرِيْنَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُمْ بِاِحْسَانٍۙ رَّضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ تَحْتَهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًا ۗذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ

     Was-sābiqūnal-awwalūna minal-muhājirīna wal-anṣāri wal-lażīnattaba‘ūhum bi'iḥsān(in), raḍiyallāhu ‘anhum wa raḍū ‘anhu wa a‘adda lahum jannātin tajrī taḥtahal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā abadā(n), żālikal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

     As for the foremost—the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers—and those who follow them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. And He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. That is the ultimate triumph.

101. وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مُنٰفِقُوْنَ ۗوَمِنْ اَهْلِ الْمَدِيْنَةِ مَرَدُوْا عَلَى النِّفَاقِۗ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْۗ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْۗ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَّرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰى عَذَابٍ عَظِيْمٍ ۚ

     Wa mimman ḥaulakum minal-a‘rābi munāfiqūn(a),wa min ahlil-madīnati maradū ‘alan nifāq(i), lā ta‘lamuhum, naḥnu na‘lamuhum, sanu‘ażżibuhum marrataini ṡumma yuraddūna ilā ‘ażābin ‘aẓīm(in).

     Some of the nomads around you ˹believers˺ are hypocrites, as are some of the people of Medina. They have mastered hypocrisy. They are not known to you ˹O Prophet˺; they are known to Us. We will punish them twice ˹in this world˺, then they will be brought back ˹to their Lord˺ for a tremendous punishment.

102. وَاٰخَرُوْنَ اعْتَرَفُوْا بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ خَلَطُوْا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّاٰخَرَ سَيِّئًاۗ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَّتُوْبَ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

     Wa ākharūna‘tarafū biżunūbihim khalaṭū ‘amalan ṣāliḥaw wa ākhara sayyi'ā(n), ‘asallāhu ay yatūba ‘alaihim, innallāha gafūrur raḥīm(un).

     Some others have confessed their wrongdoing: they have mixed goodness with evil. It is right to hope that Allah will turn to them in mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

103. خُذْ مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيْهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّ صَلٰوتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ

     Khuż min amwālihim ṣadaqatan tuṭahhiruhum wa tuzakkīhim bihā wa ṣalli ‘alaihim, inna ṣalātaka sakanul lahum, wallāhu samī‘un ‘alīm(un).

     Take from their wealth ˹O Prophet˺ charity to purify and bless them, and pray for them—surely your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

104. اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقٰتِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ

     Alam ya‘lamū annallāha huwa yaqbalut-taubata ‘an ‘ibādihī wa ya'khużuṣ-ṣadaqāti wa annallāha huwat-tawwābur-raḥīm(u).

     Do they not know that Allah alone accepts the repentance of His servants and receives ˹their˺ charity, and that Allah alone is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful?

105. وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوْا فَسَيَرَى اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَۗ وَسَتُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰى عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَۚ

     Wa quli‘malū fa sayarallāhu ‘amalakum wa rasūluhū wal-mu'minūn(a), wa saturaddūna ilā ‘ālimil-gaibi wasy-syahādati fa yunabbi'ukum bimā kuntum ta‘malūn(a).

     Tell ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Do as you will. Your deeds will be observed by Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, then He will inform you of what you used to do.”

106. وَاٰخَرُوْنَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِاَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَاِمَّا يَتُوْبُ عَلَيْهِمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

     Wa ākharūna murjaunal li'amrillāhi immā yu‘ażżibuhum wa immā yatūbu ‘alaihim, wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

     And some others are left for Allah’s decision, either to punish them or turn to them in mercy. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

107. وَالَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَّكُفْرًا وَّتَفْرِيْقًاۢ بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَاِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۗوَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ اِنْ اَرَدْنَآ اِلَّا الْحُسْنٰىۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ

     Wal-lażīnattakhażū masjidan ḍirāraw wa kufraw wa tafrīqam bainal-mu'minīna wa irṣādal liman ḥāraballāha wa rasūlahū min qabl(u), wa layaḥlifunna in aradnā illal-ḥusnā, wallāhu yasyhadu innahum lakāżibūn(a).

     There are also those ˹hypocrites˺ who set up a mosque ˹only˺ to cause harm, promote disbelief, divide the believers, and as a base for those who had previously fought against Allah and His Messenger. They will definitely swear, “We intended nothing but good,” but Allah bears witness that they are surely liars.

108. لَا تَقُمْ فِيْهِ اَبَدًاۗ لَمَسْجِدٌ اُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوٰى مِنْ اَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ فِيْهِۗ فِيْهِ رِجَالٌ يُّحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ يَّتَطَهَّرُوْاۗ وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِيْنَ

     Lā taqum fīhi abadā(n), lamasjidun ussisa ‘alat-taqwā min awwali yaumin aḥaqqu an taqūma fīh(i), fīhi rijāluy yuḥibbūna ay yataṭahharū, wallāhu yuḥibbul-muṭṭahhirīn(a).

     Do not ˹O Prophet˺ ever pray in it. Certainly, a mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your prayers. In it are men who love to be purified. And Allah loves those who purify themselves.

109. اَفَمَنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهٗ عَلٰى تَقْوٰى مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ اَمْ مَّنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهٗ عَلٰى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهٖ فِيْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

     Afaman assasa bun-yānahū ‘alā taqwā minallāhi wa riḍwānin khairun am man assasa bun-yānahū ‘alā syafā jurufin hārin fanhāra bihī fī nāri jahannam(a), wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

     Which is better: those who laid the foundation of their building on the fear and pleasure of Allah, or those who did so on the edge of a crumbling cliff that tumbled down with them into the Fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

110. لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَانُهُمُ الَّذِيْ بَنَوْا رِيْبَةً فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ ࣖ

     Lā yazālu bun-yānuhumul-lażī banau rībatan fī qulūbihim illā an taqaṭṭa‘a qulūbuhum, wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

     The building which they erected will never cease to fuel hypocrisy in their hearts until their hearts are torn apart. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

111. ۞ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اشْتَرٰى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَمْوَالَهُمْ بِاَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَۗ يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ فَيَقْتُلُوْنَ وَيُقْتَلُوْنَ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِى التَّوْرٰىةِ وَالْاِنْجِيْلِ وَالْقُرْاٰنِۗ وَمَنْ اَوْفٰى بِعَهْدِهٖ مِنَ اللّٰهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوْا بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِيْ بَايَعْتُمْ بِهٖۗ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ

     Innallāhasytarā minal-mu'minīna anfusahum wa amwālahum bi'anna lahumul-jannah(ta), yuqātilūna fī sabīlillāhi fa yaqtulūna wa yuqtalūna wa‘dan ‘alaihi ḥaqqan fit-taurāti wal-injīli wal-qur'ān(i), wa man aufā bi‘ahdihī minallāhi fastabsyirū bibai‘ikumul-lażī bāya‘tum bih(ī), wa żālika huwal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

     Allah has indeed purchased from the believers their lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah and kill or are killed. This is a true promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And whose promise is truer than Allah’s? So rejoice in the exchange you have made with Him. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.

112. اَلتَّاۤىِٕبُوْنَ الْعٰبِدُوْنَ الْحٰمِدُوْنَ السَّاۤىِٕحُوْنَ الرّٰكِعُوْنَ السّٰجِدُوْنَ الْاٰمِرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَالنَّاهُوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَالْحٰفِظُوْنَ لِحُدُوْدِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

     At tā'ibūnal-‘ābidul-ḥāmidūnas-sā'iḥūnar-rāki‘ūnas-sājidūnal-āmirūna bil-ma‘rūfi wan-nāhūna ‘anil-munkari wal-ḥāfiẓūna liḥudūdillāh(i), wa basysyiril-mu'minīn(a).

     ˹It is the believers˺ who repent, who are devoted to worship, who praise ˹their Lord˺, who fast, who bow down and prostrate themselves, who encourage good and forbid evil, and who observe the limits set by Allah. And give good news to the believers.

113. مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَنْ يَّسْتَغْفِرُوْا لِلْمُشْرِكِيْنَ وَلَوْ كَانُوْٓا اُولِيْ قُرْبٰى مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُمْ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِيْمِ

     Mā kāna lin-nabiyyi wal-lażīna āmanū ay yastagfirū lil-musyrikīna wa lau kānū ulī qurbā mim ba‘di mā tabayyana lahum annahum aṣḥābul-jaḥīm(i).

     It is not ˹proper˺ for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were close relatives, after it has become clear to the believers that they are bound for the Hellfire.

114. وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ لِاَبِيْهِ اِلَّا عَنْ مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَّعَدَهَآ اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهٗٓ اَنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ لِّلّٰهِ تَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُۗ اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ لَاَوَّاهٌ حَلِيْمٌ

     Wa mā kānastigfāru ibrāhīma li'abīhi illā ‘am mau‘idatiw wa‘adahā iyyāh(u), falammā tabayyana lahū annahū ‘aduwwul lillāhi tabarra'a minh(u), inna ibrāhīma la'awwāhun ḥalīm(un).

     As for Abraham’s prayer for his father’s forgiveness, it was only in fulfilment of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to Abraham that his father was an enemy of Allah, he broke ties with him. Abraham was truly tender-hearted, forbearing.

115. وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوْمًاۢ بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰىهُمْ حَتّٰى يُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَّا يَتَّقُوْنَۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

     Wa mā kānallāhu liyuḍilla qaumam ba‘da iż hadāhum ḥattā yubayyina lahum mā yattaqūn(a), innallāha bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

     Allah would never consider a people deviant after He has guided them, until He makes clear to them what they must avoid. Surely Allah has ˹full˺ knowledge of everything.

116. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۗ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا نَصِيْرٍ

     Innallāha lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), yuḥyī wa yumīt(u), wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi miw waliyyiw wa lā naṣīr(in).

     Indeed, to Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. And besides Allah you have no guardian or helper.

117. لَقَدْ تَّابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهٰجِرِيْنَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ فِيْ سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيْغُ قُلُوْبُ فَرِيْقٍ مِّنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْۗ اِنَّهٗ بِهِمْ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۙ

     Laqat tāballāhu ‘alan-nabiyyi wal-muhājirīna wal-anṣāril-lażīnattaba‘ūhu fī sā‘atil-‘usrati mim ba‘di mā kāda yazīgu qulūbu farīqim minhum ṡumma tāba ‘alaihim, innahū bihim ra'ūfur raḥīm(un).

     Allah has certainly turned in mercy to the Prophet as well as the Emigrants and the Helpers who stood by him in the time of hardship, after the hearts of a group of them had almost faltered. He then accepted their repentance. Surely He is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to them.

118. وَّعَلَى الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذِيْنَ خُلِّفُوْاۗ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوْٓا اَنْ لَّا مَلْجَاَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّآ اِلَيْهِۗ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوْبُوْاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ ࣖ

     Wa ‘alaṡ-ṡalāṡatil-lażīna khullifū, ḥattā iżā ḍāqat ‘alaihimul-arḍu bimā raḥubat wa ḍāqat ‘alaihim anfusuhum wa ẓannū allā malja'a minallāhi illā ilaih(i), ṡumma tāba ‘alaihim liyatūbū, innallāha huwat-tawwābur-raḥīm(u).

     And ˹Allah has also turned in mercy to˺ the three who had remained behind, ˹whose guilt distressed them˺ until the earth, despite its vastness, seemed to close in on them, and their souls were torn in anguish. They knew there was no refuge from Allah except in Him. Then He turned to them in mercy so that they might repent. Surely Allah ˹alone˺ is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.

119. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

     Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanuttaqullāha wa kūnū ma‘aṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).

     O believers! Be mindful of Allah and be with the truthful.

120. مَا كَانَ لِاَهْلِ الْمَدِيْنَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ اَنْ يَّتَخَلَّفُوْا عَنْ رَّسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَرْغَبُوْا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖۗ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ لَا يُصِيْبُهُمْ ظَمَاٌ وَّلَا نَصَبٌ وَّلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَطَـُٔوْنَ مَوْطِئًا يَّغِيْظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُوْنَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَّيْلًا اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ بِهٖ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

     Mā kāna li'ahlil-madīnati wa man ḥaulahum minal-a‘rābi ay yatakhallafū ‘ar rasūlillāhi wa lā yargabū bi'anfusihim ‘an nafsih(ī), żālika bi'annahum lā yuṣībuhum ẓama'uw wa lā naṣabuw wa lā makhmaṣatun fī sabīlillāhi wa lā yaṭa'ūna mauṭi'ay yagīẓul-kuffāra wa lā yanālūna min ‘aduwwin nailan illā kutiba lahum bihī ‘amalun ṣāliḥ(un), innallāha lā yuḍī‘u ajral-muḥsinīn(a).

     It was not ˹proper˺ for the people of Medina and the nomadic Arabs around them to avoid marching with the Messenger of Allah or to prefer their own lives above his. That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of Allah; or tread on a territory, unnerving the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.

121. وَلَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ نَفَقَةً صَغِيْرَةً وَّلَا كَبِيْرَةً وَّلَا يَقْطَعُوْنَ وَادِيًا اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

     Wa lā yunfiqūna nafaqatan ṣagīrataw wa lā kabīrataw wa lā yaqṭa‘ūna wādiyan illā kutiba lahum liyajziyahumullāhu aḥsana mā kānū ya‘malūn(a).

     And whenever they make a donation, small or large, or cross a valley ˹in Allah’s cause˺—it is written to their credit, so that Allah may grant them the best reward for what they used to do.

122. ۞ وَمَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ لِيَنْفِرُوْا كَاۤفَّةًۗ فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُوْا فِى الدِّيْنِ وَلِيُنْذِرُوْا قَوْمَهُمْ اِذَا رَجَعُوْٓا اِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُوْنَ ࣖ

     Wa mā kānal-mu'minūna liyanfirū kāffah(tan), falau lā nafara min kulli firqatim minhum ṭā'ifatul liyatafaqqahū fid-dīni wa liyunżirū qaumahum iżā raja‘ū ilaihim la‘allahum yaḥżarūn(a).

     ˹However,˺ it is not necessary for the believers to march forth all at once. Only a party from each group should march forth, leaving the rest to gain religious knowledge then enlighten their people when they return to them, so that they ˹too˺ may beware ˹of evil˺.

123. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قَاتِلُوا الَّذِيْنَ يَلُوْنَكُمْ مِّنَ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُوْا فِيْكُمْ غِلْظَةًۗ وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ

     Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū qātilul-lażīna yalūnakum minal-kuffāri wal-yajidū fīkum gilẓah(tan), wa‘lamū annallāha ma‘al-muttaqīn(a).

     O believers! Fight the disbelievers around you and let them find firmness in you. And know that Allah is with those mindful ˹of Him˺.

124. وَاِذَا مَآ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّقُوْلُ اَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هٰذِهٖٓ اِيْمَانًاۚ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فَزَادَتْهُمْ اِيْمَانًا وَّهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ

     Wa iżā mā unzilat sūratun fa minhum may yaqūlu ayyukum zādathu hāżihī īmānā(n), fa ammal-lażīna āmanū fa zādathum īmānaw wa hum yastabsyirūn(a).

     Whenever a sûrah is revealed, some of them ask ˹mockingly˺, “Which of you has this increased in faith?” As for the believers, it has increased them in faith and they rejoice.

125. وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا اِلٰى رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوْا وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ

     Wa ammal-lażīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun fa zādathum rijsan ilā rijsihim wa mātū wa hum kāfirūn(a).

     But as for those with sickness in their hearts, it has increased them only in wickedness upon their wickedness, and they die as disbelievers.

126. اَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُوْنَ فِيْ كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً اَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوْبُوْنَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُوْنَ

     Awalā yarauna annahum yuftanūna fī kulli ‘āmim marrataini ṡumma lā yatūbūna wa lā hum yażżakkarūn(a).

     Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they neither repent nor do they learn a lesson.

127. وَاِذَا مَآ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍۗ هَلْ يَرٰىكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوْاۗ صَرَفَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوْبَهُمْ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُوْنَ

     Wa iżā mā unzilat sūratun naẓara ba‘ḍuhum ilā ba‘ḍ(in), hal yarākum min aḥadin ṡummanṣarafū, ṣarafallāhu qulūbahum bi'annahum qaumul lā yafqahūn(a).

     Whenever a sûrah is revealed, they look at one another, ˹saying,˺ “Is anyone watching you?” Then they slip away. ˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ has turned their hearts away because they are a people who do not comprehend.

128. لَقَدْ جَاۤءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيْزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيْصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

     Laqad jā'akum rasūlum min anfusikum ‘azīzun ‘alaihi mā ‘anittum ḥarīṣun ‘alaikum bil-mu'minīna ra'ūfur raḥīm(un).

     There certainly has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. He is concerned by your suffering, anxious for your well-being, and gracious and merciful to the believers.

129. فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ۗ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ ࣖ

     Fa in tawallau faqul ḥasbiyallāhu lā ilāha illā huw(a), ‘alaihi tawakkaltu wa huwa rabbul-‘arsyil-‘aẓīm(i).

     But if they turn away, then say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust. And He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”
