سورة آل عمران - Āl-‘Imrān
الٓمٓ
(1) Alif, Lām, Meem.[113]
[113]- See footnote to 2:1.
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ
(2) Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining.[114]
[114]- See footnotes to 2:255.
نَزَّلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ
مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ
(3) He has sent down upon you,
[O Muḥammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He
revealed the Torah and the Gospel
مِن قَبۡلُ هُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ
ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَۗ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمۡ
عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ
(4) Before, as guidance for
the people. And He revealed the Criterion [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Indeed,
those who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh will have a severe
punishment, and Allāh is Exalted in Might, the Owner of
Retribution.[115]
[115]- i.e., He who restores justice by
punishing those who persist in wrongdoing, fail to heed warnings and are
unrepentant.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَخۡفَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ شَيۡءٞ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ
(5) Indeed, from Allāh nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ
كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
(6) It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۡهُ
ءَايَٰتٞ مُّحۡكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٞۖ
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٞ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ
مِنۡهُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ وَٱبۡتِغَآءَ تَأۡوِيلِهِۦۖ وَمَا
يَعۡلَمُ تَأۡوِيلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۗ وَٱلرَّـٰسِخُونَ فِي ٱلۡعِلۡمِ
يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلّٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ رَبِّنَاۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ
إِلَّآ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ
(7) It is He who has sent down
to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise -
they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific.[116] As for
those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that
of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation
[suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except
Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it]
is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of
understanding.
[116]- Those which are stated in such a way that
they are open to more than one interpretation or whose meaning is known
only to Allāh, such as the opening letters of certain sūrahs.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوبَنَا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ
هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحۡمَةًۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ
ٱلۡوَهَّابُ
(8) [Who say], "Our Lord, let
not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from
Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.[117]
[117]- Who gives and grants continually without being asked.
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ ٱلنَّاسِ لِيَوۡمٖ لَّا
رَيۡبَ فِيهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخۡلِفُ ٱلۡمِيعَادَ
(9) Our Lord, surely You will
gather the people for a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allāh
does not fail in His promise."
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن تُغۡنِيَ عَنۡهُمۡ
أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ
وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمۡ وَقُودُ ٱلنَّارِ
(10) Indeed, those who
disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them
against Allāh at all. And it is they who are fuel for the Fire.
كَدَأۡبِ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن
قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ
بِذُنُوبِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ
(11) [Theirs is] like the
custom of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied Our
signs, so Allāh seized them for their sins. And Allāh is severe in
penalty.
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَتُغۡلَبُونَ
وَتُحۡشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ
(12) Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place."
قَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٞ فِي فِئَتَيۡنِ
ٱلۡتَقَتَاۖ فِئَةٞ تُقَٰتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَأُخۡرَىٰ كَافِرَةٞ
يَرَوۡنَهُم مِّثۡلَيۡهِمۡ رَأۡيَ ٱلۡعَيۡنِۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ
بِنَصۡرِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّأُوْلِي
ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ
(13) Already there has been
for you a sign in the two armies which met [in combat at Badr] - one
fighting in the cause of Allāh and another of disbelievers. They saw
them [to be] twice their [own] number by [their] eyesight.[118] But
Allāh supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed in that is a
lesson for those of vision.
[118]- The believers saw the disbelievers to be
double their own number preceding the battle of Badr, while, in fact,
they were three times their number.
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ
ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلۡبَنِينَ وَٱلۡقَنَٰطِيرِ ٱلۡمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ
وَٱلۡفِضَّةِ وَٱلۡخَيۡلِ ٱلۡمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ وَٱلۡحَرۡثِۗ
ذَٰلِكَ مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسۡنُ
ٱلۡمَـَٔابِ
(14) Beautified for people is
the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums
of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land.
That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allāh has with Him the best
return [i.e., Paradise].
۞قُلۡ أَؤُنَبِّئُكُم بِخَيۡرٖ مِّن ذَٰلِكُمۡۖ
لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّـٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا
ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَأَزۡوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞ وَرِضۡوَٰنٞ
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ
(15) Say, "Shall I inform you
of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allāh will be
gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein
they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allāh. And
Allāh is Seeing [i.e., aware] of [His] servants -
ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَآ
ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ
(16) Those who say, "Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,"
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ وَٱلۡقَٰنِتِينَ
وَٱلۡمُنفِقِينَ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَغۡفِرِينَ بِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ
(17) The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allāh], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.
شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ قَآئِمَۢا بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ لَآ
إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
(18) Allāh witnesses that
there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of
knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no
deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمُۗ وَمَا
ٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا
جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۗ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِـَٔايَٰتِ
ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ
(19) Indeed, the religion in
the sight of Allāh is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did
not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous
animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of
Allāh, then indeed, Allāh is swift in [taking] account.
فَإِنۡ حَآجُّوكَ فَقُلۡ أَسۡلَمۡتُ وَجۡهِيَ
لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِۗ وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ
وَٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ ءَأَسۡلَمۡتُمۡۚ فَإِنۡ أَسۡلَمُواْ فَقَدِ ٱهۡتَدَواْۖ
وَّإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ
بِٱلۡعِبَادِ
(20) So if they argue with
you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have]
those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and
[to] the unlearned,[119] "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they
submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then
upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of
[His] servants.
[119]- Those who had no scripture (i.e., the pagans).
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ
وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ
يَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
(21) Those who disbelieve in
the signs of Allāh and kill the prophets without right and kill those
who order justice from among the people - give them tidings of a painful
punishment.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ
فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ
(22) They are the ones whose deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and for them there will be no helpers.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبٗا
مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَىٰ كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ
ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ
(23) Do you not consider, [O
Muḥammad], those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They are
invited to the Scripture of Allāh that it should arbitrate between
them;[120] then a party of them turns away, and they are refusing.
[120]- Referring to the Jews of Madīnah who
refused to implement the rulings given by Allāh in the Torah or to
acknowledge the Prophet (ﷺ), whose coming was mentioned therein.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا
ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامٗا مَّعۡدُودَٰتٖۖ وَغَرَّهُمۡ فِي دِينِهِم مَّا
كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ
(24) That is because they say,
"Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days," and
[because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were
inventing.
فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جَمَعۡنَٰهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٖ لَّا
رَيۡبَ فِيهِ وَوُفِّيَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا
يُظۡلَمُونَ
(25) So how will it be when We
assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt? And each soul
will be compensated [in full for] what it earned, and they will not be
wronged.
قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَٰلِكَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِي
ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن
تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلۡخَيۡرُۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ
كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ
(26) Say, "O Allāh, Owner of
Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take
sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You
humble whom You will. In Your hand[121] is [all] good. Indeed, You are
over all things competent.
[121]- See footnote to 2:19
تُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ
ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِۖ وَتُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَتُخۡرِجُ
ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّۖ وَتَرۡزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ
(27) You cause the night to
enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring
the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living.
And You give provision to whom You will without account [i.e., limit or
measure]."
لَّا يَتَّخِذِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَۖ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيۡسَ
مِنَ ٱللَّهِ فِي شَيۡءٍ إِلَّآ أَن تَتَّقُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ تُقَىٰةٗۗ
وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسَهُۥۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
(28) Let not believers take
disbelievers as allies [i.e., supporters or protectors] rather than
believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no
association] with Allāh, except when taking precaution against them in
prudence.[122] And Allāh warns you of Himself, and to Allāh is the
[final] destination.
[122]- When fearing harm from an enemy, the
believer may pretend as long as his heart and intention are not
affected.
قُلۡ إِن تُخۡفُواْ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ أَوۡ
تُبۡدُوهُ يَعۡلَمۡهُ ٱللَّهُۗ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ
(29) Say, "Whether you conceal
what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allāh knows it. And He knows that
which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. And Allāh is
over all things competent.
يَوۡمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ
خَيۡرٖ مُّحۡضَرٗا وَمَا عَمِلَتۡ مِن سُوٓءٖ تَوَدُّ لَوۡ أَنَّ بَيۡنَهَا
وَبَيۡنَهُۥٓ أَمَدَۢا بَعِيدٗاۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسَهُۥۗ
وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ
(30) The Day every soul will
find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done
of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great
distance. And Allāh warns you of Himself, and Allāh is Kind to [His]
servants."
قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ
فَٱتَّبِعُونِي يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡۚ
وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ
(31) Say, [O Muḥammad], "If
you should love Allāh, then follow me, [so] Allāh will love you and
forgive you your sins. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."
قُلۡ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَۖ فَإِن
تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
(32) Say, "Obey Allāh and the Messenger. But if you turn away - then indeed, Allāh does not like the disbelievers."
۞إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصۡطَفَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ وَنُوحٗا
وَءَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَءَالَ عِمۡرَٰنَ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(33) Indeed, Allāh chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of ʿImrān over the worlds -
ذُرِّيَّةَۢ بَعۡضُهَا مِنۢ بَعۡضٖۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
(34) Descendants, some of them from others. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
إِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُ عِمۡرَٰنَ رَبِّ إِنِّي
نَذَرۡتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطۡنِي مُحَرَّرٗا فَتَقَبَّلۡ مِنِّيٓۖ إِنَّكَ
أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
(35) [Mention, O Muḥammad],
when the wife of ʿImrān said, "My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You
what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from
me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing."
فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتۡهَا قَالَتۡ رَبِّ إِنِّي
وَضَعۡتُهَآ أُنثَىٰ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتۡ وَلَيۡسَ
ٱلذَّكَرُ كَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۖ وَإِنِّي سَمَّيۡتُهَا مَرۡيَمَ وَإِنِّيٓ
أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ
(36) But when she delivered
her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allāh was most
knowing of what she delivered, and the male is not like the female. "And
I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her
descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]."
فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٖ
وَأَنۢبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنٗا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّاۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ
عَلَيۡهَا زَكَرِيَّا ٱلۡمِحۡرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزۡقٗاۖ قَالَ
يَٰمَرۡيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَٰذَاۖ قَالَتۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ
(37) So her Lord accepted her
with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her
in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the
prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, "O Mary, from
where is this [coming] to you?" She said, "It is from Allāh. Indeed,
Allāh provides for whom He wills without account."
هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهُۥۖ قَالَ رَبِّ
هَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةٗ طَيِّبَةًۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ
(38) At that, Zechariah called
upon his Lord, saying, "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good
offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication."
فَنَادَتۡهُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٞ
يُصَلِّي فِي ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحۡيَىٰ
مُصَدِّقَۢا بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدٗا وَحَصُورٗا وَنَبِيّٗا
مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
(39) So the angels called him
while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allāh gives you
good tidings of John, confirming a word[123] from Allāh and [who will
be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the
righteous."
[123]- Referring to the prophet Jesus (upon whom
be peace) , who was conceived merely by a command from Allāh - the word
"Be."
قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَقَدۡ
بَلَغَنِيَ ٱلۡكِبَرُ وَٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٞۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱللَّهُ
يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ
(40) He said, "My Lord, how
will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?" He
[the angel] said, "Such is Allāh; He does what He wills."
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّيٓ ءَايَةٗۖ قَالَ
ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمۡزٗاۗ
وَٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرٗا وَسَبِّحۡ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ وَٱلۡإِبۡكَٰرِ
(41) He said, "My Lord, make
for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not [be able to]
speak to the people for three days except by gesture. And remember your
Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the evening and the morning."
وَإِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ
ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(42) And [mention] when the
angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allāh has chosen you and purified you and
chosen you above the women of the worlds.
يَٰمَرۡيَمُ ٱقۡنُتِي لِرَبِّكِ وَٱسۡجُدِي وَٱرۡكَعِي مَعَ ٱلرَّـٰكِعِينَ
(43) O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]."
ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ نُوحِيهِ
إِلَيۡكَۚ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ إِذۡ يُلۡقُونَ أَقۡلَٰمَهُمۡ أَيُّهُمۡ
يَكۡفُلُ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ إِذۡ يَخۡتَصِمُونَ
(44) That is from the news of
the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muḥammad]. And you were not with
them when they cast their pens[124] as to which of them should be
responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.
[124]- i.e., threw lots.
إِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنۡهُ ٱسۡمُهُ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ
مَرۡيَمَ وَجِيهٗا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ
(45) [And mention] when the
angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allāh gives you good tidings of a word[125]
from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary -
distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought
near [to Allāh].
[125]- See footnote to 3:39
وَيُكَلِّمُ ٱلنَّاسَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ وَكَهۡلٗا وَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
(46) He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
قَالَتۡ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي وَلَدٞ وَلَمۡ
يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ ٱللَّهُ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِذَا
قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
(47) She said, "My Lord, how
will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such
is Allāh; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only
says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
وَيُعَلِّمُهُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ
(48) And He will teach him writing and wisdom[126] and the Torah and the Gospel
[126]- The teachings of the prophets.
وَرَسُولًا إِلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ أَنِّي
قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ أَنِّيٓ أَخۡلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ
ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيۡـَٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا
بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ وَأُحۡيِ
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأۡكُلُونَ وَمَا
تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لَّكُمۡ إِن
كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
(49) And [make him] a
messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come
to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay
[that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it
becomes a bird by permission of Allāh. And I cure the blind [from birth]
and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allāh.
And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses.
Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
وَمُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ
ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُم بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي حُرِّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ
وَجِئۡتُكُم بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
(50) And [I have come]
confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you
some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign
from your Lord, so fear Allāh and obey me.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ
(51) Indeed, Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.'"
۞فَلَمَّآ أَحَسَّ عِيسَىٰ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ
قَالَ مَنۡ أَنصَارِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحۡنُ
أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَٱشۡهَدۡ بِأَنَّا مُسۡلِمُونَ
(52) But when Jesus felt
[persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters
for [the cause of] Allāh?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for
Allāh. We have believed in Allāh and testify that we are Muslims
[submitting to Him].
رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا بِمَآ أَنزَلۡتَ
وَٱتَّبَعۡنَا ٱلرَّسُولَ فَٱكۡتُبۡنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ
(53) Our Lord, we have
believed in what You revealed and have followed the messenger [i.e.,
Jesus], so register us among the witnesses [to truth]."
وَمَكَرُواْ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمَٰكِرِينَ
(54) And they [i.e., the disbelievers] planned, but Allāh planned. And Allāh is the best of planners.
إِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَىٰٓ إِنِّي
مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
وَجَاعِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوكَ فَوۡقَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ
يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَأَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ
فِيمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ
(55) [Mention] when Allāh
said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and
purify [i.e., free] you from those who disbelieve and make those who
follow you [in submission to Allāh alone] superior to those who
disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and
I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَأُعَذِّبُهُمۡ
عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن
نَّـٰصِرِينَ
(56) And as for those who
disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world
and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(57) But as for those who
believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their
rewards, and Allāh does not like the wrongdoers.
ذَٰلِكَ نَتۡلُوهُ عَلَيۡكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ وَٱلذِّكۡرِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ
(58) This is what We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], of [Our] verses and the precise [and wise] message [i.e., the Qur’ān].
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ
ءَادَمَۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
(59) Indeed, the example of
Jesus to Allāh[127] is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then
He said to him, "Be," and he was.
[127]- i.e., regarding His creation of him.
ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ
(60) The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters.
فَمَنۡ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَكَ
مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ فَقُلۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ نَدۡعُ أَبۡنَآءَنَا وَأَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ
وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمۡ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمۡ ثُمَّ نَبۡتَهِلۡ
فَنَجۡعَل لَّعۡنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ
(61) Then whoever argues with
you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you - say, "Come, let us
call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and
yourselves, then supplicate earnestly [together] and invoke the curse of
Allāh upon the liars [among us]."
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡقَصَصُ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ وَمَا
مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ
ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
(62) Indeed, this is the true
narration. And there is no deity except Allāh. And indeed, Allāh is the
Exalted in Might, the Wise.
فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
(63) But if they turn away, then indeed - Allāh is Knowing of the corrupters.
قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ
كَلِمَةٖ سَوَآءِۭ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ أَلَّا نَعۡبُدَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ
وَلَا نُشۡرِكَ بِهِۦ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُنَا بَعۡضًا
أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقُولُواْ ٱشۡهَدُواْ
بِأَنَّا مُسۡلِمُونَ
(64) Say, "O People of the
Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we
will not worship except Allāh and not associate anything with Him and
not take one another as lords instead of Allāh."[128] But if they turn
away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."
[128]- By obeying another in disobedience to Allāh.
يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تُحَآجُّونَ فِيٓ
إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَتِ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلُ إِلَّا مِنۢ
بَعۡدِهِۦٓۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
(65) O People of the
Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel
were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?
هَـٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ حَٰجَجۡتُمۡ فِيمَا
لَكُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞ فَلِمَ تُحَآجُّونَ فِيمَا لَيۡسَ لَكُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمٞۚ
وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ
(66) Here you are - those who
have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do
you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allāh knows,
while you know not.
مَا كَانَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيّٗا وَلَا
نَصۡرَانِيّٗا وَلَٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفٗا مُّسۡلِمٗا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ
ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
(67) Abraham was neither a Jew
nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim
[submitting to Allāh]. And he was not of the polytheists.[129]
[129]- Those who associate others with Allāh.
إِنَّ أَوۡلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَلَّذِينَ
ٱتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَٰذَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ
وَلِيُّ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(68) Indeed, the most worthy
of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to
Allāh] and this prophet [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those who believe [in
his message]. And Allāh is the Ally[130] of the believers.
[130]- Refer to footnote in verse 2:257.
وَدَّت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَوۡ
يُضِلُّونَكُمۡ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ
(69) A faction of the People
of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead
except themselves, and they perceive [it] not.
يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكۡفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَنتُمۡ تَشۡهَدُونَ
(70) O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allāh[131] while you witness [to their truth]?
[131]- i.e., deliberately reject them.
يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَلۡبِسُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّ
بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ وَتَكۡتُمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَأَنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
(71) O People of the
Scripture, why do you mix [i.e., confuse] the truth with falsehood and
conceal the truth while you know [it]?
وَقَالَت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ
ءَامِنُواْ بِٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَجۡهَ
ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱكۡفُرُوٓاْ ءَاخِرَهُۥ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ
(72) And a faction of the
People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was
revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at
its end that perhaps they will return [i.e., abandon their religion],
وَلَا تُؤۡمِنُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِمَن تَبِعَ دِينَكُمۡ
قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰٓ أَحَدٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ
أُوتِيتُمۡ أَوۡ يُحَآجُّوكُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّكُمۡۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡفَضۡلَ
بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٞ
(73) And do not trust except
those who follow your religion." Say, "Indeed, the [true] guidance is
the guidance of Allāh. [Do you fear] lest someone be given [knowledge]
like you were given or that they would [thereby] argue with you before
your Lord?" Say, "Indeed, [all] bounty is in the hand[132] of Allāh - He
grants it to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Wise."
[132]- See footnote to 2:19
يَخۡتَصُّ بِرَحۡمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
(74) He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.
۞وَمِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مَنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ
بِقِنطَارٖ يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ إِن تَأۡمَنۡهُ
بِدِينَارٖ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيۡكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ
قَآئِمٗاۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡنَا فِي
ٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ سَبِيلٞ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ
يَعۡلَمُونَ
(75) And among the People of
the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of
wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you
entrust him with a [single] coin, he will not return it to you unless
you are constantly standing over him [demanding it]. That is because
they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned."[133] And
they speak untruth about Allāh while they know [it].
[133]- The Jews do not consider it a sin to cheat or lie to a gentile or a pagan.
بَلَىٰۚ مَنۡ أَوۡفَىٰ بِعَهۡدِهِۦ وَٱتَّقَىٰ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ
(76) But yes, whoever fulfills his commitment and fears Allāh - then indeed, Allāh loves those who fear Him.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشۡتَرُونَ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ
وَأَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًا أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَٰقَ لَهُمۡ فِي
ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡهِمۡ يَوۡمَ
ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ
(77) Indeed, those who
exchange the covenant of Allāh and their [own] oaths for a small price
will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allāh will not speak to them or
look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and
they will have a painful punishment.
وَإِنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ لَفَرِيقٗا يَلۡوُۥنَ
أَلۡسِنَتَهُم بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِتَحۡسَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ
ٱللَّهِۖ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ
(78) And indeed, there is
among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may
think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And
they say, "This is from Allāh," but it is not from Allāh. And they speak
untruth about Allāh while they know.
مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤۡتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحُكۡمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُواْ
عِبَادٗا لِّي مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن كُونُواْ رَبَّـٰنِيِّـۧنَ بِمَا
كُنتُمۡ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَدۡرُسُونَ
(79) It is not for a human
[prophet][134] that Allāh should give him the Scripture[135] and
authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, "Be
servants to me rather than Allāh," but [instead, he would say], "Be
pious scholars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the
Scripture and because of what you have studied."
[134]- Or any believer.
[135]- Or in the case of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), "the Book" (i.e., the Qur’ān) .
وَلَا يَأۡمُرَكُمۡ أَن تَتَّخِذُواْ
ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ أَرۡبَابًاۚ أَيَأۡمُرُكُم بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ
بَعۡدَ إِذۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ
(80) Nor could he order you to
take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief
after you had been Muslims?
وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ
لَمَآ ءَاتَيۡتُكُم مِّن كِتَٰبٖ وَحِكۡمَةٖ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولٞ
مُّصَدِّقٞ لِّمَا مَعَكُمۡ لَتُؤۡمِنُنَّ بِهِۦ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥۚ قَالَ
ءَأَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ وَأَخَذۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُمۡ إِصۡرِيۖ قَالُوٓاْ
أَقۡرَرۡنَاۚ قَالَ فَٱشۡهَدُواْ وَأَنَا۠ مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ
(81) And [recall, O People of
the Scripture], when Allāh took the covenant of the prophets, [saying],
"Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to
you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him
and support him." [Allāh] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon
that My commitment?"[136] They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said,
"Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."
[136]- i.e., Have you accepted this obligation?
فَمَن تَوَلَّىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ
(82) And whoever turned away after that - they were the defiantly disobedient.
أَفَغَيۡرَ دِينِ ٱللَّهِ يَبۡغُونَ وَلَهُۥٓ
أَسۡلَمَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ طَوۡعٗا وَكَرۡهٗا وَإِلَيۡهِ
يُرۡجَعُونَ
(83) So is it other than the
religion of Allāh they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those
within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him
they will be returned?
قُلۡ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ
عَلَيۡنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ
وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَٱلۡأَسۡبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ
وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ أَحَدٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ
وَنَحۡنُ لَهُۥ مُسۡلِمُونَ
(84) Say, "We have believed in
Allāh and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham,
Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants [al-Asbāṭ], and in what was
given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no
distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to
Him."
وَمَن يَبۡتَغِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمِ دِينٗا فَلَن
يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُ وَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ
(85) And whoever desires other
than Islām as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in
the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
كَيۡفَ يَهۡدِي ٱللَّهُ قَوۡمٗا كَفَرُواْ بَعۡدَ
إِيمَٰنِهِمۡ وَشَهِدُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّسُولَ حَقّٞ وَجَآءَهُمُ
ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(86) How shall Allāh guide a
people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the
Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And Allāh does not
guide the wrongdoing people.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمۡ أَنَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ
لَعۡنَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ
(87) Those - their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of Allāh and the angels and the people, all together,
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ
(88) Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ
وَأَصۡلَحُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ
(89) Except for those who repent after that[137] and correct themselves. For indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
[137]- After their wrongdoing.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِهِمۡ
ثُمَّ ٱزۡدَادُواْ كُفۡرٗا لَّن تُقۡبَلَ تَوۡبَتُهُمۡ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ ٱلضَّآلُّونَ
(90) Indeed, those who
disbelieve [i.e., reject the message] after their belief and then
increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be
accepted, and they are the ones astray.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ
كُفَّارٞ فَلَن يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِم مِّلۡءُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَهَبٗا وَلَوِ
ٱفۡتَدَىٰ بِهِۦٓۗ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن
نَّـٰصِرِينَ
(91) Indeed, those who
disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole]
capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would
[seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful
punishment, and they will have no helpers.
لَن تَنَالُواْ ٱلۡبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُواْ
مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَيۡءٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ
عَلِيمٞ
(92) Never will you attain the
good [reward][138] until you spend [in the way of Allāh] from that
which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.
[138]- Another meaning is "You will never attain righteousness."
۞كُلُّ ٱلطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلّٗا لِّبَنِيٓ
إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ مِن
قَبۡلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُۚ قُلۡ فَأۡتُواْ بِٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ
فَٱتۡلُوهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
(93) All food was lawful to
the Children of Israel except what Israel [i.e., Jacob] had made
unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Muḥammad],
"So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful."
فَمَنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ مِنۢ
بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
(94) And whoever invents about Allāh untruth after that - then those are [truly] the wrongdoers.
قُلۡ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُۗ فَٱتَّبِعُواْ مِلَّةَ
إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
(95) Say, "Allāh has told the
truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he
was not of the polytheists."[139]
[139]- See footnote to 3:67
إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيۡتٖ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي
بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكٗا وَهُدٗى لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(96) Indeed, the first House
[of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah [i.e., Makkah] -
blessed and a guidance for the worlds.
فِيهِ ءَايَٰتُۢ بَيِّنَٰتٞ مَّقَامُ
إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنٗاۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ
حِجُّ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَيۡهِ سَبِيلٗاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(97) In it are clear signs
[such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it [i.e.,
the Ḥaram] shall be safe. And [due] to Allāh from the people is a
pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But
whoever disbelieves [i.e., refuses] - then indeed, Allāh is free from
need of the worlds.[140]
[140]- He has no need for His servants' worship; it is they who are in need of Him.
قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَكۡفُرُونَ
بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا تَعۡمَلُونَ
(98) Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allāh while Allāh is Witness over what you do?"
قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن
سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ تَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجٗا وَأَنتُمۡ شُهَدَآءُۗ
وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ
(99) Say, "O People of the
Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allāh those who believe,
seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the
truth]? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do."
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن
تُطِيعُواْ فَرِيقٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَرُدُّوكُم
بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ كَٰفِرِينَ
(100) O you who have believed,
if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would
turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.
وَكَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُونَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُتۡلَىٰ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ وَفِيكُمۡ رَسُولُهُۥۗ وَمَن يَعۡتَصِم
بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ هُدِيَ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ
(101) And how could you
disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of Allāh and among
you is His Messenger? And whoever holds firmly to Allāh[141] has
[indeed] been guided to a straight path.
[141]- i.e., adhering to His ordinances
strictly, then trusting in Him and relying upon Him completely.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ
ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ
(102) O you who have believed, fear Allāh as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعٗا وَلَا
تَفَرَّقُواْۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ
أَعۡدَآءٗ فَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦٓ
إِخۡوَٰنٗا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم
مِّنۡهَاۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَهۡتَدُونَ
(103) And hold firmly to the
rope[142] of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember
the favor of Allāh upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your
hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on
the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh
make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.
[142]- Referring either to His covenant or the Qur’ān.
وَلۡتَكُن مِّنكُمۡ أُمَّةٞ يَدۡعُونَ إِلَى
ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِۚ
وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
(104) And let there be
[arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining
what is right and forbidding what is wrong,[143] and those will be the
successful.
[143]- According to the laws of Allāh.
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُواْ
وَٱخۡتَلَفُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ
لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ
(105) And do not be like the
ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to
them. And those will have a great punishment
يَوۡمَ تَبۡيَضُّ وُجُوهٞ وَتَسۡوَدُّ وُجُوهٞۚ
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡوَدَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ أَكَفَرۡتُم بَعۡدَ
إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ
(106) On the Day [some] faces
will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose
faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e.,
reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you
used to reject."
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱبۡيَضَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ فَفِي
رَحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
(107) But as for those whose faces turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allāh. They will abide therein eternally.
تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتۡلُوهَا عَلَيۡكَ
بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلۡمٗا لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(108) These are the verses of
Allāh. We recite them to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth; and Allāh wants no
injustice to the worlds [i.e., His creatures].
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ
(109) To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allāh will [all] matters be returned.
كُنتُمۡ خَيۡرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخۡرِجَتۡ لِلنَّاسِ
تَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَتَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَتُؤۡمِنُونَ
بِٱللَّهِۗ وَلَوۡ ءَامَنَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۚ
مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ
(110) You are the best nation
produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and
forbid what is wrong and believe in Allāh. If only the People of the
Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them
are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.
لَن يَضُرُّوكُمۡ إِلَّآ أَذٗىۖ وَإِن
يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ يُوَلُّوكُمُ ٱلۡأَدۡبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ
(111) They will not harm you
except for [some] annoyance. And if they fight you, they will show you
their backs [i.e., retreat]; then they will not be aided.
ضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ أَيۡنَ مَا
ثُقِفُوٓاْ إِلَّا بِحَبۡلٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَحَبۡلٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ
وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَسۡكَنَةُۚ
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ
وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ
وَّكَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ
(112) They have been put under
humiliation [by Allāh] wherever they are overtaken, except for a rope
[i.e., covenant] from Allāh and a rope [i.e., treaty] from the people
[i.e., the Muslims].[144] And they have drawn upon themselves anger from
Allāh and have been put under destitution. That is because they
disbelieved in [i.e., rejected] the verses of Allāh and killed the
prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually]
transgressed.
[144]- Once they have surrendered, the People of
the Scripture retain their rights and honor (in spite of their refusal
of Islām) through payment of the jizyah tax in place of zakāh and
military service due from Muslims. They are then under the protection of
the Islāmic state.
۞لَيۡسُواْ سَوَآءٗۗ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ
أُمَّةٞ قَآئِمَةٞ يَتۡلُونَ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَهُمۡ
يَسۡجُدُونَ
(113) They are not [all] the
same; among the People of the Scripture is a community[145] standing [in
obedience], reciting the verses of Allāh during periods of the night
and prostrating [in prayer].
[145]- Of people who accepted Islām.
يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ
وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَيُسَٰرِعُونَ
فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
(114) They believe in Allāh
and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong
and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous.
وَمَا يَفۡعَلُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَلَن يُكۡفَرُوهُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ
(115) And whatever good they do - never will it be denied them. And Allāh is Knowing of the righteous.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن تُغۡنِيَ عَنۡهُمۡ
أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ
وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
(116) Indeed, those who
disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them
against Allāh at all, and those are the companions of the Fire; they
will abide therein eternally.
مَثَلُ مَا يُنفِقُونَ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٖ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتۡ حَرۡثَ قَوۡمٖ
ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فَأَهۡلَكَتۡهُۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ
وَلَٰكِنۡ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ
(117) The example of what they
spend in this worldly life is like that of a wind containing frost
which strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves [i.e.,
sinned] and destroys it. And Allāh has not wronged them, but they wrong
themselves.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا
تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةٗ مِّن دُونِكُمۡ لَا يَأۡلُونَكُمۡ خَبَالٗا
وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ قَدۡ بَدَتِ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءُ مِنۡ أَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ
وَمَا تُخۡفِي صُدُورُهُمۡ أَكۡبَرُۚ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِۖ
إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ
(118) O you who have believed,
do not take as intimates those other than yourselves [i.e., believers],
for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have
hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their
breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the
signs, if you will use reason.
هَـٰٓأَنتُمۡ أُوْلَآءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمۡ وَلَا
يُحِبُّونَكُمۡ وَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ كُلِّهِۦ وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمۡ
قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡاْ عَضُّواْ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡأَنَامِلَ
مِنَ ٱلۡغَيۡظِۚ قُلۡ مُوتُواْ بِغَيۡظِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ
بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ
(119) Here you are loving them
but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture - all
of it.[146] And when they meet you, they say, "We believe." But when
they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you in rage. Say, "Die in
your rage. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts."
[146]- That of it revealed by Allāh, not what was subsequently altered by men.
إِن تَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ حَسَنَةٞ تَسُؤۡهُمۡ وَإِن
تُصِبۡكُمۡ سَيِّئَةٞ يَفۡرَحُواْ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ
لَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ كَيۡدُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔاۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ
مُحِيطٞ
(120) If good touches you, it
distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. And if you
are patient and fear Allāh, their plot will not harm you at all.
Indeed, Allāh is encompassing of what they do.
وَإِذۡ غَدَوۡتَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ مَقَٰعِدَ لِلۡقِتَالِۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
(121) And [remember] when you,
[O Muḥammad], left your family in the morning to post the believers at
their stations for the battle [of Uḥud] - and Allāh is Hearing and
Knowing -
إِذۡ هَمَّت طَّآئِفَتَانِ مِنكُمۡ أَن تَفۡشَلَا
وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَاۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
(122) When two parties among you were about to lose courage, but Allāh was their ally; and upon Allāh the believers should rely.
وَلَقَدۡ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِبَدۡرٖ وَأَنتُمۡ
أَذِلَّةٞۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ
(123) And already had Allāh
given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were weak [i.e., few
in number]. Then fear Allāh; perhaps you will be grateful.
إِذۡ تَقُولُ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَلَن يَكۡفِيَكُمۡ
أَن يُمِدَّكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِثَلَٰثَةِ ءَالَٰفٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
مُنزَلِينَ
(124) [Remember] when you said
to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should
reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down?
بَلَىٰٓۚ إِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ
وَيَأۡتُوكُم مِّن فَوۡرِهِمۡ هَٰذَا يُمۡدِدۡكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِخَمۡسَةِ
ءَالَٰفٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ
(125) Yes, if you remain
patient and conscious of Allāh and they [i.e., the enemy] come upon you
[attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand
angels having marks [of distinction]."
وَمَا جَعَلَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشۡرَىٰ لَكُمۡ
وَلِتَطۡمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُكُم بِهِۦۗ وَمَا ٱلنَّصۡرُ إِلَّا مِنۡ عِندِ
ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ
(126) And Allāh made it not
except as [a sign of] good tidings for you and to reassure your hearts
thereby. And victory is not except from Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the
Wise -
لِيَقۡطَعَ طَرَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ
أَوۡ يَكۡبِتَهُمۡ فَيَنقَلِبُواْ خَآئِبِينَ
(127) That He might cut down a section of the disbelievers or suppress them so that they turn back disappointed.
لَيۡسَ لَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَيۡءٌ أَوۡ يَتُوبَ
عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَوۡ يُعَذِّبَهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ
(128) Not for you, [O
Muḥammad, but for Allāh], is the decision whether He should [cut them
down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers.
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ
غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ
(129) And to Allāh belongs
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He forgives
whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allāh is Forgiving and
Merciful.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا
تَأۡكُلُواْ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓاْ أَضۡعَٰفٗا مُّضَٰعَفَةٗۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ
(130) O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allāh that you may be successful.
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
(131) And fear the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers.
وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ
(132) And obey Allāh and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy.
۞وَسَارِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَغۡفِرَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ
وَجَنَّةٍ عَرۡضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ أُعِدَّتۡ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ
(133) And hasten to
forgiveness from your Lord and a garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the
heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي ٱلسَّرَّآءِ
وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَٱلۡكَٰظِمِينَ ٱلۡغَيۡظَ وَٱلۡعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِۗ
وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
(134) Who spend [in the cause
of Allāh] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon
the people - and Allāh loves the doers of good;
وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَٰحِشَةً أَوۡ
ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ ذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ فَٱسۡتَغۡفَرُواْ لِذُنُوبِهِمۡ
وَمَن يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَلَمۡ يُصِرُّواْ عَلَىٰ مَا
فَعَلُواْ وَهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ
(135) And those who, when they
commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember
Allāh and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins
except Allāh? - and [who] do not persist in what they have done while
they know.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ مِّن
رَّبِّهِمۡ وَجَنَّـٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ
فِيهَاۚ وَنِعۡمَ أَجۡرُ ٱلۡعَٰمِلِينَ
(136) Those - their reward is
forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow [in
Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the
reward of the [righteous] workers.
قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ سُنَنٞ فَسِيرُواْ فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ
(137) Similar situations [as
yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and
observe how was the end of those who denied.
هَٰذَا بَيَانٞ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدٗى وَمَوۡعِظَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ
(138) This [Qur’ān] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allāh.
وَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
(139) So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.
إِن يَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ قَرۡحٞ فَقَدۡ مَسَّ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
قَرۡحٞ مِّثۡلُهُۥۚ وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمۡ
شُهَدَآءَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(140) If a wound should touch
you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to
it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the
people so that Allāh may make evident those who believe and [may] take
to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allāh does not like the
wrongdoers -
وَلِيُمَحِّصَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَيَمۡحَقَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
(141) And that Allāh may purify the believers [through trials] and destroy the disbelievers.
أَمۡ حَسِبۡتُمۡ أَن تَدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
وَلَمَّا يَعۡلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَيَعۡلَمَ
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
(142) Or do you think that you
will enter Paradise while Allāh has not yet made evident those of you
who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?
وَلَقَدۡ كُنتُمۡ تَمَنَّوۡنَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ مِن
قَبۡلِ أَن تَلۡقَوۡهُ فَقَدۡ رَأَيۡتُمُوهُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ
(143) And you had certainly
wished for death [i.e., martyrdom] before you encountered it, and you
have [now] seen it [before you] while you were looking on.
وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن
قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُۚ أَفَإِيْن مَّاتَ أَوۡ قُتِلَ ٱنقَلَبۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ
أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡۚ وَمَن يَنقَلِبۡ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ ٱللَّهَ
شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَسَيَجۡزِي ٱللَّهُ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ
(144) Muḥammad is not but a
messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to
die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And
he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allāh at all; but Allāh
will reward the grateful.
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ
ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبٗا مُّؤَجَّلٗاۗ وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ
مِنۡهَا وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَاۚ وَسَنَجۡزِي
ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ
(145) And it is not [possible]
for one to die except by permission of Allāh at a decree determined.
And whoever desires the reward of this world - We will give him thereof;
and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter - We will give him
thereof. And We will reward the grateful.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِيّٖ قَٰتَلَ مَعَهُۥ
رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٞ فَمَا وَهَنُواْ لِمَآ أَصَابَهُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُواْ وَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
(146) And how many a prophet
[fought in battle and] with him fought many religious scholars. But they
never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allāh,
nor did they weaken or submit. And Allāh loves the steadfast.
وَمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ
رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسۡرَافَنَا فِيٓ أَمۡرِنَا
وَثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
(147) And their words were not
but that they said, "Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess
[committed] in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory
over the disbelieving people."
فَـَٔاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا
وَحُسۡنَ ثَوَابِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
(148) So Allāh gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the Hereafter. And Allāh loves the doers of good.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن
تُطِيعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَرُدُّوكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ
فَتَنقَلِبُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ
(149) O you who have believed,
if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your
heels, and you will [then] become losers.
بَلِ ٱللَّهُ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلنَّـٰصِرِينَ
(150) But Allāh is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.
سَنُلۡقِي فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
ٱلرُّعۡبَ بِمَآ أَشۡرَكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ
سُلۡطَٰنٗاۖ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(151) We will cast terror into
the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with
Allāh of which He had not sent down [any] authority.[147] And their
refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the
wrongdoers.
[147]- i.e., clear evidence.
وَلَقَدۡ صَدَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥٓ إِذۡ
تَحُسُّونَهُم بِإِذۡنِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَشِلۡتُمۡ وَتَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي
ٱلۡأَمۡرِ وَعَصَيۡتُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَرَىٰكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ
مِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ثُمَّ
صَرَفَكُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ لِيَبۡتَلِيَكُمۡۖ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا عَنكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ
ذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(152) And Allāh had certainly
fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them [i.e., the
enemy] by His permission until [the time] when you lost courage and fell
to disputing about the order [given by the Prophet (ﷺ)] and disobeyed
after He had shown you that which you love.[148] Among you are some who
desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then
He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He
has already forgiven you, and Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the
believers.
[148]- i.e., the spoils of war.
۞إِذۡ تُصۡعِدُونَ وَلَا تَلۡوُۥنَ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٖ
وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فِيٓ أُخۡرَىٰكُمۡ فَأَثَٰبَكُمۡ غَمَّۢا
بِغَمّٖ لِّكَيۡلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا مَآ
أَصَٰبَكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ
(153) [Remember] when you
[fled and] climbed [the mountain] without looking aside at anyone while
the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allāh repaid you with
distress upon distress so you would not grieve for that which had
escaped you [of victory and spoils of war] or [for] that which had
befallen you [of injury and death]. And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what
you do.
ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡغَمِّ
أَمَنَةٗ نُّعَاسٗا يَغۡشَىٰ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنكُمۡۖ وَطَآئِفَةٞ قَدۡ
أَهَمَّتۡهُمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ يَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ظَنَّ
ٱلۡجَٰهِلِيَّةِۖ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِن شَيۡءٖۗ قُلۡ
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِۗ يُخۡفُونَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لَا
يُبۡدُونَ لَكَۖ يَقُولُونَ لَوۡ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَيۡءٞ مَّا
قُتِلۡنَا هَٰهُنَاۗ قُل لَّوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡ لَبَرَزَ ٱلَّذِينَ
كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَتۡلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمۡۖ وَلِيَبۡتَلِيَ
ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ
عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ
(154) Then after distress, He
sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a
faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking
of Allāh other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is
there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the
matter belongs completely to Allāh." They conceal within themselves what
they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could
have done in the matter, we [i.e., some of us] would not have been
killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those
decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was]
so that Allāh might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in
your hearts. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوۡاْ مِنكُمۡ يَوۡمَ
ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ إِنَّمَا ٱسۡتَزَلَّهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ بِبَعۡضِ مَا
كَسَبُواْۖ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ
حَلِيمٞ
(155) Indeed, those of you who
turned back on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] - it was Satan who
caused them to slip because of some [blame] they had earned. But Allāh
has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا
تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ إِذَا
ضَرَبُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَوۡ كَانُواْ غُزّٗى لَّوۡ كَانُواْ عِندَنَا مَا
مَاتُواْ وَمَا قُتِلُواْ لِيَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسۡرَةٗ فِي
قُلُوبِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ
بَصِيرٞ
(156) O you who have believed,
do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when
they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been
with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allāh makes
that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allāh who
gives life and causes death, and Allāh is Seeing of what you do.
وَلَئِن قُتِلۡتُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ
مُتُّمۡ لَمَغۡفِرَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَحۡمَةٌ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ
(157) And if you are killed in
the cause of Allāh or die - then forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are
better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].
وَلَئِن مُّتُّمۡ أَوۡ قُتِلۡتُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ
(158) And whether you die or are killed, unto Allāh you will be gathered.
فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمۡۖ
وَلَوۡ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلۡقَلۡبِ لَٱنفَضُّواْ مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَۖ
فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ
فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ
ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلِينَ
(159) So by mercy from Allāh,
[O Muḥammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in
speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So
pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the
matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allāh. Indeed, Allāh
loves those who rely [upon Him].
إِن يَنصُرۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمۡۖ
وَإِن يَخۡذُلۡكُمۡ فَمَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۗ وَعَلَى
ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
(160) If Allāh should aid you,
no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there
that can aid you after Him? And upon Allāh let the believers rely.
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَغُلَّۚ وَمَن
يَغۡلُلۡ يَأۡتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ
نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ
(161) It is not [attributable]
to any prophet that he would act unfaithfully [in regard to war booty].
And whoever betrays, [taking unlawfully], will come with what he took
on the Day of Resurrection. Then will every soul be [fully] compensated
for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.
أَفَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَنۢ
بَآءَ بِسَخَطٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ
ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
(162) So is one who pursues
the pleasure of Allāh like one who brings upon himself the anger of
Allāh and whose refuge is Hell? And wretched is the destination.
هُمۡ دَرَجَٰتٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ
(163) They are [varying] degrees in the sight of Allāh, and Allāh is Seeing of whatever they do.
لَقَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذۡ
بَعَثَ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ
ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ
وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ
(164) Certainly did Allāh
confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a
Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying
them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom,[149]
although they had been before in manifest error.
[149]- The Prophet's sunnah.
أَوَلَمَّآ أَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةٞ قَدۡ
أَصَبۡتُم مِّثۡلَيۡهَا قُلۡتُمۡ أَنَّىٰ هَٰذَاۖ قُلۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ
أَنفُسِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ
(165) Why [is it that] when a
[single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uḥud], although you had
struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you
said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves [i.e., due to
your sin]." Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ
فَبِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(166) And what struck you on
the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] was by permission of Allāh that He
might make evident the [true] believers
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُواْۚ وَقِيلَ
لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ قَٰتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوِ ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ
قَالُواْ لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالٗا لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ
يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم
مَّا لَيۡسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُونَ
(167) And that He might make
evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight
in the way of Allāh or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known
[there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer
to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was
not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ وَقَعَدُواْ
لَوۡ أَطَاعُونَا مَا قُتِلُواْۗ قُلۡ فَٱدۡرَءُواْ عَنۡ أَنفُسِكُمُ
ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
(168) Those who said about
their brothers while sitting [at home], "If they had obeyed us, they
would not have been killed." Say, "Then prevent death from yourselves,
if you should be truthful."
وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي
سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَٰتَۢاۚ بَلۡ أَحۡيَآءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ يُرۡزَقُونَ
(169) And never think of those
who have been killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are
alive with their Lord, receiving provision,
فَرِحِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن
فَضۡلِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يَلۡحَقُواْ بِهِم مِّنۡ
خَلۡفِهِمۡ أَلَّا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ
(170) Rejoicing in what Allāh
has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings
about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them -
that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
۞يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِنِعۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ
وَفَضۡلٖ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(171) They receive good
tidings of favor from Allāh and bounty and [of the fact] that Allāh does
not allow the reward of believers to be lost -
ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ
مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡقَرۡحُۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ
وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٌ
(172) Those [believers] who
responded to Allāh and the Messenger after injury had struck them. For
those who did good among them and feared Allāh is a great reward -
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ
قَدۡ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمۡ فَٱخۡشَوۡهُمۡ فَزَادَهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَقَالُواْ
حَسۡبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡوَكِيلُ
(173) Those to whom people
[i.e., hypocrites] said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you,
so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said,
"Sufficient for us is Allāh, and [He is] the best Disposer of
affairs."[150]
[150]- The one entrusted and relied upon; sufficient to manage all matters.
فَٱنقَلَبُواْ بِنِعۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضۡلٖ
لَّمۡ يَمۡسَسۡهُمۡ سُوٓءٞ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ رِضۡوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو
فَضۡلٍ عَظِيمٍ
(174) So they returned with
favor from Allāh and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they
pursued the pleasure of Allāh, and Allāh is the possessor of great
bounty.
إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ يُخَوِّفُ
أَوۡلِيَآءَهُۥ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمۡ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
(175) That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.
وَلَا يَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي
ٱلۡكُفۡرِۚ إِنَّهُمۡ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ
أَلَّا يَجۡعَلَ لَهُمۡ حَظّٗا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
(176) And do not be grieved,
[O Muḥammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will
never harm Allāh at all. Allāh intends that He should give them no share
in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشۡتَرَوُاْ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ
بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ
(177) Indeed, those who
purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allāh
at all, and for them is a painful punishment.
وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا
نُمۡلِي لَهُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لِّأَنفُسِهِمۡۚ إِنَّمَا نُمۡلِي لَهُمۡ
لِيَزۡدَادُوٓاْ إِثۡمٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّهِينٞ
(178) And let not those who
disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment]
it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may
increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.
مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ ٱلۡخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِۗ
وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُطۡلِعَكُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ
يَجۡتَبِي مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ
وَرُسُلِهِۦۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَلَكُمۡ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ
(179) Allāh would not leave
the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates
the evil from the good. Nor would Allāh reveal to you the unseen. But
[instead], Allāh chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in
Allāh and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you
is a great reward.
وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَبۡخَلُونَ بِمَآ
ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۖ بَلۡ هُوَ شَرّٞ
لَّهُمۡۖ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُواْ بِهِۦ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ
وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا
تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ
(180) And let not those who
[greedily] withhold what Allāh has given them of His bounty ever think
that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks
will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And
to Allāh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh,
of what you do, is [fully] Aware.
لَّقَدۡ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِينَ
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَقِيرٞ وَنَحۡنُ أَغۡنِيَآءُۘ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا
قَالُواْ وَقَتۡلَهُمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖ وَنَقُولُ ذُوقُواْ
عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ
(181) Allāh has certainly
heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allāh is poor,
while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of
the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the
Burning Fire.
ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّامٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ
(182) That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَهِدَ
إِلَيۡنَآ أَلَّا نُؤۡمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَنَا بِقُرۡبَانٖ
تَأۡكُلُهُ ٱلنَّارُۗ قُلۡ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رُسُلٞ مِّن قَبۡلِي
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَبِٱلَّذِي قُلۡتُمۡ فَلِمَ قَتَلۡتُمُوهُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ
صَٰدِقِينَ
(183) [They are] those who
said, "Indeed, Allāh has taken our promise not to believe any messenger
until he brings us an offering which fire [from heaven] will consume."
Say, "There have already come to you messengers before me with clear
proofs and [even] that of which you speak. So why did you kill them, if
you should be truthful?"
فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ كُذِّبَ رُسُلٞ مِّن
قَبۡلِكَ جَآءُو بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُنِيرِ
(184) Then if they deny you,
[O Muḥammad] - so were messengers denied before you, who brought clear
proofs and written ordinances and the enlightening Scripture.[151]
[151]- The unaltered, original Torah and Gospel, which were revealed by Allāh.
كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَإِنَّمَا
تُوَفَّوۡنَ أُجُورَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ فَمَن زُحۡزِحَ عَنِ
ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدۡخِلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَقَدۡ فَازَۗ وَمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ
ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ
(185) Every soul will taste
death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of
Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to
Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world
except the enjoyment of delusion.
۞لَتُبۡلَوُنَّ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡ وَأَنفُسِكُمۡ
وَلَتَسۡمَعُنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَمِنَ
ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُوٓاْ أَذٗى كَثِيرٗاۚ وَإِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ
فَإِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ عَزۡمِ ٱلۡأُمُورِ
(186) You will surely be
tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear
from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who
associate others with Allāh much abuse. But if you are patient and fear
Allāh - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.
وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ ٱلَّذِينَ
أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكۡتُمُونَهُۥ
فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَٱشۡتَرَوۡاْ بِهِۦ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۖ
فَبِئۡسَ مَا يَشۡتَرُونَ
(187) And [mention, O
Muḥammad], when Allāh took a covenant from those who were given the
Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear [i.e., explain it] to the
people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs
and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they
purchased.
لَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡرَحُونَ بِمَآ
أَتَواْ وَّيُحِبُّونَ أَن يُحۡمَدُواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يَفۡعَلُواْ فَلَا
تَحۡسَبَنَّهُم بِمَفَازَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ
(188) And never think that
those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and like to be praised
for what they did not do - never think them [to be] in safety from the
punishment, and for them is a painful punishment.
وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ
(189) And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allāh is over all things competent.
إِنَّ فِي خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
وَٱخۡتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ
(190) Indeed, in the creation
of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the
day are signs for those of understanding -
ٱلَّذِينَ يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمٗا
وَقُعُودٗا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمۡ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلۡقِ
ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ هَٰذَا بَٰطِلٗا
سُبۡحَٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ
(191) Who remember Allāh while
standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the
creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not
create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then
protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدۡخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدۡ
أَخۡزَيۡتَهُۥۖ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ
(192) Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.
رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا سَمِعۡنَا مُنَادِيٗا
يُنَادِي لِلۡإِيمَٰنِ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَـَٔامَنَّاۚ رَبَّنَا
فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرۡ عَنَّا سَيِّـَٔاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا
مَعَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ
(193) Our Lord, indeed we have
heard a caller [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] calling to faith, [saying],
'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us
our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die among the
righteous.
رَبَّنَا وَءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ
رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخۡزِنَا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخۡلِفُ
ٱلۡمِيعَادَ
(194) Our Lord, and grant us
what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on
the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise."
فَٱسۡتَجَابَ لَهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ أَنِّي لَآ
أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَٰمِلٖ مِّنكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰۖ بَعۡضُكُم مِّنۢ
بَعۡضٖۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ وَأُخۡرِجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمۡ وَأُوذُواْ
فِي سَبِيلِي وَقَٰتَلُواْ وَقُتِلُواْ لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ
سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَأُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا
ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ثَوَابٗا مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسۡنُ
ٱلثَّوَابِ
(195) And their Lord responded
to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among
you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who
emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or
fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds,
and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as
reward from Allāh, and Allāh has with Him the best reward."
لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
(196) Be not deceived by the [uninhibited] movement of the disbelievers throughout the land.
مَتَٰعٞ قَلِيلٞ ثُمَّ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ
(197) [It is but] a small enjoyment; then their [final] refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.
لَٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ رَبَّهُمۡ لَهُمۡ
جَنَّـٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا نُزُلٗا
مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ لِّلۡأَبۡرَارِ
(198) But those who feared
their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding
eternally therein, as accommodation from Allāh. And that which is with
Allāh is best for the righteous.
وَإِنَّ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَمَن يُؤۡمِنُ
بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ خَٰاشِعِينَ
لِلَّهِ لَا يَشۡتَرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًاۚ
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ
ٱلۡحِسَابِ
(199) And indeed, among the
People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allāh and what was
revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive
to Allāh. They do not exchange the verses of Allāh for a small price.
Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allāh is swift in
account.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱصۡبِرُواْ
وَصَابِرُواْ وَرَابِطُواْ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ
(200) O you who have believed,
persevere[152] and endure[153] and remain stationed[154] and fear Allāh
that you may be successful.
[152]- In your religion and in the face of your enemies.
