Al-Hashr
( 1 ) Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on
the earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
( 2 ) It is He who expelled the ones who disbelieved
among the People of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering. You
did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would
protect them from Allah; but [the decree of] Allah came upon them from where
they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts [so] they destroyed
their houses by their [own] hands and the hands of the believers. So take
warning, O people of vision.
( 3 ) And if not that Allah had decreed for them
evacuation, He would have punished them in [this] world, and for them in the
Hereafter is the punishment of the Fire.
( 4 ) That is
because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah - then
indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
( 5 ) Whatever you have cut down of [their] palm
trees or left standing on their trunks - it was by permission of Allah and so
He would disgrace the defiantly disobedient.
( 6 ) And what Allah restored [of property] to His
Messenger from them - you did not spur for it [in an expedition] any horses or
camels, but Allah gives His messengers power over whom He wills, and Allah is
over all things competent.
( 7 ) And what Allah restored to His Messenger from
the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his]
near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler - so that it will not be
a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger
has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear
Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
( 8 ) For the poor emigrants who were expelled from
their homes and their properties, seeking bounty from Allah and [His] approval
and supporting Allah and His Messenger, [there is also a share]. Those are the
truthful.
( 9 ) And [also for] those who were settled in
al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated
to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given
but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation.
And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will
be the successful.
( 10 ) And
[there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord,
forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts
[any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind
and Merciful."
( 11 ) Have you not considered those who practice
hypocrisy, saying to their brothers who have disbelieved among the People of
the Scripture, "If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and we
will not obey, in regard to you, anyone - ever; and if you are fought, we will
surely aid you." But Allah testifies that they are liars.
( 12 ) If they are expelled, they will not leave with
them, and if they are fought, they will not aid them. And [even] if they should
aid them, they will surely turn their backs; then [thereafter] they will not be
aided.
( 13 ) You [believers] are more fearful within their
breasts than Allah. That is because they are a people who do not understand.
( 14 ) They will not fight you all except within
fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is
severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is
because they are a people who do not reason.
( 15 ) [Theirs is] like the example of those shortly
before them: they tasted the bad consequence of their affair, and they will
have a painful punishment.
( 16 ) [The hypocrites are] like the example of Satan
when he says to man, "Disbelieve." But when he disbelieves, he says,
"Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the
worlds."
( 17 ) So the outcome for both of them
is that they will be in the Fire, abiding eternally therein. And that is the
recompense of the wrong-doers.
( 18 )
O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it
has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with
what you do.
( 19 )
And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget
themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.
( 20 )
Not equal are the companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise.
The companions of Paradise - they are the attainers [of success].
( 21 )
If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it
humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah. And these examples We present to
the people that perhaps they will give thought.
( 22 )
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and
the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
( 23 )
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure,
the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the
Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with
Him.
( 24 )
He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the
best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the
Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Al-Mumtahana
( 1 )
O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies,
extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of
the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you
believe in Allah, your Lord. If you have come out for jihad in My cause and
seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them
affection, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have
declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the
soundness of the way.
( 2 )
If they gain dominance over you, they would be to you as enemies and extend
against you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they wish you would
disbelieve.
( 3 )
Never will your relatives or your children benefit you; the Day of Resurrection
He will judge between you. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
( 4 )
There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with
him, when they said to their people, "Indeed, we are disassociated from
you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and
there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you
believe in Allah alone" except for the saying of Abraham to his father,
"I will surely ask forgiveness for you, but I have not [power to do] for
you anything against Allah. Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we
have returned, and to You is the destination.
( 5 )
Our Lord, make us not [objects of] torment for the disbelievers and forgive us,
our Lord. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
( 6 )
There has certainly been for you in them an excellent pattern for anyone whose
hope is in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allah
is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.
( 7 )
Perhaps Allah will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies
among them, affection. And Allah is competent, and Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful.
( 8 )
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion
and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting
justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
( 9 )
Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel
you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies
of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the
wrongdoers.
( 10 )
O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as
emigrants, examine them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you
know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they
are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But
give the disbelievers what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if
you marry them when you have given them their due compensation. And hold not to
marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let
them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allah; He judges
between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.
( 11 )
And if you have lost any of your wives to the disbelievers and you
subsequently obtain [something], then give those whose wives have gone the
equivalent of what they had spent. And fear Allah, in whom you are believers.
( 12 )
O Prophet, when the believing women come to you pledging to you that
they will not associate anything with Allah, nor will they steal, nor will they
commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor will they kill their children, nor will
they bring forth a slander they have invented between their arms and legs, nor
will they disobey you in what is right - then accept their pledge and ask
forgiveness for them of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
( 13 )
O you who have believed, do not make allies of a people with whom Allah
has become angry. They have despaired of [reward in] the Hereafter just as the
disbelievers have despaired of [meeting] the inhabitants of the graves.
As-Saff
( 1 )
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth exalts Allah, and He is
the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
( 2 )
O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?
( 3 )
Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do.
( 4 )
Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a
[single] structure joined firmly.
( 5 )
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people,
why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allah to
you?" And when they deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate. And
Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
( 6 )
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel,
indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the
Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is
Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said,
"This is obvious magic."
( 7 )
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah untruth while he is being
invited to Islam. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
( 8 )
They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will
perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.
( 9 )
It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to
manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah
dislike it.
( 10 )
O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will
save you from a painful punishment?
( 11 )
[It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the
cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you
should know.
( 12 )
He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which
rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is
the great attainment.
( 13 )
And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allah
and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.
( 14 )
O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son
of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allah?"
The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah." And a faction of
the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported
those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.
Al-Jumu'a
( 1 )
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah, the
Sovereign, the Pure, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
( 2 )
It is He who has sent among the unlettered a Messenger from themselves reciting
to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom -
although they were before in clear error -
( 3 )
And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in
Might, the Wise.
( 4 )
That is the bounty of Allah, which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the
possessor of great bounty.
( 5 )
The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it
on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the
example of the people who deny the signs of Allah. And Allah does not guide the
wrongdoing people.
( 6 )
Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah,
excluding the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."
( 7 )
But they will not wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put
forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
( 8 )
Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you.
Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He
will inform you about what you used to do."
( 9 )
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day
of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade.
That is better for you, if you only knew.
( 10 )
And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and
seek from the bounty of Allah, and remember Allah often that you may succeed.
( 11 )
But when they saw a transaction or a diversion, [O Muhammad], they
rushed to it and left you standing. Say, "What is with Allah is better
than diversion and than a transaction, and Allah is the best of
providers."
