Sourate At-Tawba (9) vowelled

Exoneration from obligation, from God and His Messenger, toward those of the associators with whom you had made a pact.i 1

بَرَآءَةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

So move about freely in the land for four months,i 2

فَسِيحُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍۢ

and know that you cannot render God powerless, and that God covers with disgrace those who deny-disown. 2

وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْزِى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

And a proclamation from God and His Messenger to mankind, on the day of the Great Convergence of the Hajj: God is exonerated from obligation toward the associators, and so is His Messenger.i 3

وَأَذَٰنٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوْمَ ٱلْحَجِّ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُۥ

So if you cease [your transgression], that is better for you;i 3

فَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ

but if you turn away, know that you cannot render God powerless. 3

وَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى ٱللَّهِ

Announce to those who have denied-disowned a painful punishment — except those of the associators with whom you made a pact, and who then did not fail you in anything nor supported anyone against you: fulfill your pact toward them until its term. 4

وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنقُصُوكُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَمْ يُظَٰهِرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدًۭا فَأَتِمُّوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمْ

God loves those who guard themselves. 4

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

When the inviolable months have passed, fight the associators wherever you find them; seize them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every point of observation.i 5

فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلْأَشْهُرُ ٱلْحُرُمُ فَٱقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱحْصُرُوهُمْ وَٱقْعُدُوا۟ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍۢ

But if they cease [their transgression], maintain the Contact, and give the purifying alms, then leave their way clear.i 5

فَإِن تَابُوا۟ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَخَلُّوا۟ سَبِيلَهُمْ

God is Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence. 5

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

And if one of the associators asks you for protection, protect him, until he hears the word of God, then convey him to his place of safety. 6

وَإِنْ أَحَدٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٱسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُۥ

That is because they are a people who do not know. 6

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌۭ لَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

How could there be, for the associators, a pact with God and with His Messenger — except those with whom you made a pact near the inviolable place of prostration? As long as they stand straight with you, stand straight with them. 7

كَيْفَ يَكُونُ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ عَهْدٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ رَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّمْ عِندَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ فَمَا ٱسْتَقَٰمُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱسْتَقِيمُوا۟ لَهُمْ

God loves those who guard themselves. 7

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

How, then? If they gained the upper hand over you, they would respect toward you neither kinship nor covenant. 8

كَيْفَ وَإِن يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا يَرْقُبُوا۟ فِيكُمْ إِلًّۭا وَلَا ذِمَّةًۭ

They satisfy you with their mouths, while their cores refuse; and most of them are oversteppers. 8

يُرْضُونَكُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ

They sold the signs of God for a small price, and they turned away from His path. 9

ٱشْتَرَوْا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًۭا فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦٓ

How evil is what they used to do! 9

إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

They respect, toward a believer, neither kinship nor covenant. 10

لَا يَرْقُبُونَ فِى مُؤْمِنٍ إِلًّۭا وَلَا ذِمَّةًۭ

Those are the transgressors. 10

وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُعْتَدُونَ

If they turn back [to God], maintain the Contact, and give the purifying alms, then they are your brothers in the Law. 11

فَإِن تَابُوا۟ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ

And thus do We detail the signs for a people who know. 11

وَنُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يَعْلَمُونَ

But if they break their oaths after their engagement, and attack your Law, then fight the leaders of denial-disowning, 12

وَإِن نَّكَثُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُوا۟ فِى دِينِكُمْ فَقَٰتِلُوٓا۟ أَئِمَّةَ ٱلْكُفْرِ

for their oaths are not valid — perhaps they will cease. 12

إِنَّهُمْ لَآ أَيْمَٰنَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنتَهُونَ

Will you then not fight a people who broke their oaths, who plotted to expel the messenger, and who attacked you first? Would you fear them? 13

أَلَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ قَوْمًۭا نَّكَثُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُمْ وَهَمُّوا۟ بِإِخْرَاجِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ

God is more worthy that you should fear Him, if you are believers. 13

فَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Fight them: God will punish them by your hands, cover them with disgrace, grant you victory over them, heal the chests of a believing people, and remove the rage of their cores. 15

قَٰتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍۢ مُّؤْمِنِينَ وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْ

And God turns with clemency toward whom He wills. 15

وَيَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ

God is All-Knowing, Wise. 15

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Or did you think that you would be left, without God having yet distinguished those among you who have striven and have not taken, besides God, His Messenger, and the believers, any close confidant?i 16

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تُتْرَكُوا۟ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا رَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيجَةًۭ

God is well informed of what you do. 16

وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

It is not for the associators to populate the places of prostration of God, bearing witness against themselves of denial-disowning. 17

مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يَعْمُرُوا۟ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ شَٰهِدِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِم بِٱلْكُفْرِ

البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي

Those are the ones whose works have collapsed, and who abide eternally in the Fire. 17

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلنَّارِ هُمْ خَٰلِدُونَ

Only he populates the places of prostration of God who has believed in God and the Last Day, has maintained the Contact, given the purifying alms, and feared none but God alone — those, it may be, are among the rightly-guided. 18

إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ فَعَسَىٰٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

Would you make the watering of the arrival and the maintenance of the inviolable place of prostration equivalent to one who has believed in God and the Last Day, and has striven in the way of God?i 19

أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ ٱلْحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَجَٰهَدَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ

They are not equal in the sight of God. 19

لَا يَسْتَوُۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ

And God does not guide the unjust people. 19

وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Those who have believed, emigrated, and striven in the way of God with their possessions and their Selves have a greater rank with God, 20

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَٰهَدُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِ

and those are the ones who triumph. 20

وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَآئِزُونَ

Their Guardian announces to them a benevolence from Himself, a good pleasure, and gardens where they will have a lasting blessing, abiding therein eternally, forever.i 22

يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُم بِرَحْمَةٍۢ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَٰنٍۢ وَجَنَّٰتٍۢ لَّهُمْ فِيهَا نَعِيمٌۭ مُّقِيمٌ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا

With God there is an immense reward.i 22

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌۭ

O you who have believed! do not take your fathers and your brothers as allies, if they prefer denial-disowning to faith. 23

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَكُمْ وَإِخْوَٰنَكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْكُفْرَ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ

And whoever among you takes them as allies, those are the unjust. 23

وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

Say: "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your spouses, your clan, the wealth you have acquired, a trade whose decline you fear, and dwellings that please you, are dearer to you than God, His Messenger, and striving in His way, then wait, until God brings His command." 24

قُلْ إِن كَانَ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلٌ ٱقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَٰرَةٌۭ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَٰكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَآ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَجِهَادٍۢ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِۦ

شعبة

And God does not guide the people of the oversteppers. 24

وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ

God indeed helped you in many places, and on the day of Hunayn, when your great number pleased you, but it availed you nothing, and the earth, despite its vastness, became narrow for you; then you turned your backs, fleeing. 25

لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍۢ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنكُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُم مُّدْبِرِينَ

Then God sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and sent down soldiers you did not see, and He punished those who had denied-disowned. 26

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَعَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودًۭا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟

Such is the reward of those who deny-disown. 26

وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Then God turns with clemency, after that, toward whom He wills. 27

ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ

God is Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence. 27

وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

O you who have believed! the associators are nothing but impurity: let them not approach the inviolable place of prostration, after this year of theirs. 28

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌۭ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَا

And if you fear poverty, God will enrich you from His favor, if He wills. 28

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةًۭ فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَ

God is All-Knowing, Wise. 28

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ

Fight those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, and who do not submit to the Law of truth, among those to whom the Scripture was given — until they pay the war indemnity, by their own hand, in a state of submission.i 29

قَٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُوا۟ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍۢ وَهُمْ صَٰغِرُونَ

The Reoriented said: "Al-'Uzayr is the son of God";i 30

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ

and the Helpers said: "Al-Massih is the son of God."i 30

وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ

That is their saying, [uttered] by their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who, before them, denied-disowned. 30

ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ يُضَٰهِـُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ

May God combat them! 30

قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ

How then are they turned away? 30

أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

They took their rabbis and their monks as masters besides God, as well as Al-Massih, son of Maryam,i 31

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَٰنَهُمْ أَرْبَابًۭا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ

though they had been ordered only to obey one deity. 31

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَٰهًۭا وَٰحِدًۭا

There is no deity but Him. 31

لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ

Glory be to Him, above what they associate with Him! 31

سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

They want to extinguish God's light with their mouths, but God refuses everything except to bring His light to completion, however much those who deny-disown detest it. 32

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِـُٔوا۟ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى ٱللَّهُ إِلَّآ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Law of truth, so as to make it prevail over every [other] law, however much the associators detest it. 33

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ

O you who have believed! many rabbis and monks devour the wealth of people through falsehood, and turn [others] away from the path of God. 34

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْبَارِ وَٱلرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَٰلَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ

And those who hoard gold and silver, and do not spend it in the way of God — announce to them a painful punishment, 34

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَهَا فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍۢ

on the day when it will be heated in the fire of Jahannam, and their foreheads, their sides, and their backs will be branded with it: "This is what you hoarded for yourselves; taste then what you used to hoard!" 35

يَوْمَ يُحْمَىٰ عَلَيْهَا فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَىٰ بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ هَٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ

The number of months, with God, is twelve months, in God's Code, since the day He created the heavens and the earth;i 36

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًۭا فِى كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ

four of them are inviolable.i 36

مِنْهَآ أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌۭ

That is the upright Law. 36

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ

So do not wrong yourselves during these. 36

فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا۟ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ

And fight the associators throughout all the months, as they fight you throughout all the months,i 36

وَقَٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةًۭ كَمَا يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةًۭ

and know that God is with those who guard themselves. 36

وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

The intercalation is only an increase in concealment, by which those who conceal mislead [the people]: they make it free one year and restrict it another, so as to adjust the number of what God has made inviolable, thereby making permitted what God has made inviolable.i 37

إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّسِىٓءُ زِيَادَةٌۭ فِى ٱلْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُحِلُّونَهُۥ عَامًۭا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ عَامًۭا لِّيُوَاطِـُٔوا۟ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّوا۟ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ

ورش

The evil of their deeds has been embellished for them. 37

زُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ أَعْمَٰلِهِمْ

And God does not guide the people of the concealers.i 37

وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

O you who have believed! what is with you, when it is said to you: 'Mobilize on the way of God', that you cling heavily to the earth?i 38

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ

Are you satisfied with the present life rather than the last life? 38

أَرَضِيتُم بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مِنَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ

The enjoyment of the present life, compared with the last life, is but little. 38

فَمَا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ

If you do not mobilize, He will punish you with a painful punishment, and replace you with another people, without your harming Him in any way. 39

إِلَّا تَنفِرُوا۟ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْـًۭٔا

God has power over all things. 39

وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ

If you do not help him, God has already helped him, when those who denied-disowned expelled him, the second of two, when they were both in the cave, when he said to his companion: "Do not grieve, God is with us." 40

إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ثَانِىَ ٱثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِى ٱلْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَا

God then sent down His tranquility upon him, 40

فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ

and He reinforced him with soldiers you did not see, 40

وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٍۢ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا

and He made lowest the word of those who had denied-disowned, 40

وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱلسُّفْلَىٰ

while the word of God is the highest. 40

وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللَّهِ هِىَ ٱلْعُلْيَا

God is All-Powerful, Wise. 40

وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

Mobilize, light or heavy, and strive with your possessions and your Selves in the way of God. 41

ٱنفِرُوا۟ خِفَافًۭا وَثِقَالًۭا وَجَٰهِدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ

That is better for you, if you knew. 41

ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Had it been a near gain and an easy journey, they would have followed you; but the distance seemed long to them. 42

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًۭا قَرِيبًۭا وَسَفَرًۭا قَاصِدًۭا لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَٰكِنۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشُّقَّةُ

They will swear by God: "If we had been able, we would have gone out with you"; 42

وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَوِ ٱسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ

they destroy themselves, 42

يُهْلِكُونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ

and God knows that they are indeed liars. 42

وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

May God pardon you! Why did you give them permission, before those who spoke truly became clear to you, and before you knew the liars? 43

عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَتَعْلَمَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ

Those who believe in God and the Last Day do not ask you for permission [to be excused] from striving with their possessions and their Selves. 44

لَا يَسْتَـْٔذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ أَن يُجَٰهِدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ

ورش قالون السوسي

God knows those who guard themselves. 44

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

Only those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day ask you for permission, whose cores are seized with doubt, so that they waver in their doubt. 45

إِنَّمَا يَسْتَـْٔذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَٱرْتَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِى رَيْبِهِمْ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ

ورش قالون السوسي

Had they wanted to set out, they would have prepared equipment for it; 46

وَلَوْ أَرَادُوا۟ ٱلْخُرُوجَ لَأَعَدُّوا۟ لَهُۥ عُدَّةًۭ

but God was averse to their setting out, and He held them back, and it was said to them: "Stay with those who stay." 46

وَلَٰكِن كَرِهَ ٱللَّهُ ٱنۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ ٱقْعُدُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلْقَٰعِدِينَ

Had they gone out among you, they would only have increased your confusion, and would have rushed about among you, seeking to sow discord among you — and among you are some who listen to them. 47

لَوْ خَرَجُوا۟ فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمْ إِلَّا خَبَالًۭا وَلَأَوْضَعُوا۟ خِلَٰلَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّٰعُونَ لَهُمْ

God knows the unjust. 47

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

They had already sought to sow discord before, and had turned matters over for you in every direction, until the truth came and God's command became manifest, in spite of their aversion. 48

لَقَدِ ٱبْتَغَوُا۟ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوا۟ لَكَ ٱلْأُمُورَ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَٰرِهُونَ

And among them is one who says: "Grant me permission, and do not expose me to the trial." 49

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ ٱئْذَن لِّى وَلَا تَفْتِنِّىٓ

Is it not into the trial itself that they have already fallen? 49

أَلَا فِى ٱلْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوا۟

Jahannam indeed surrounds those who deny-disown. 49

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌۢ بِٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

If good befalls you, it grieves them, 50

إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌۭ تَسُؤْهُمْ

and if misfortune befalls you, they say: "We had already taken our precautions before" — and they turn away, rejoicing. 50

وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌۭ يَقُولُوا۟ قَدْ أَخَذْنَآ أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوا۟ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ

Say: "Nothing will befall us except what God has decreed for us; 51

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا

He is our Protector. 51

هُوَ مَوْلَىٰنَا

It is upon God that the believers should rely." 51

وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Say: "Do you await for us anything but one of the two best [outcomes]? 52

قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَآ إِلَّآ إِحْدَى ٱلْحُسْنَيَيْنِ

And we, we await for you that God strike you with a punishment from Himself, or by our hands. 52

وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَن يُصِيبَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍۢ مِّنْ عِندِهِۦٓ أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَا

So wait, 52

فَتَرَبَّصُوٓا۟

we are waiting with you." 52

إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ

Say: "Spend willingly or reluctantly, it will not be accepted from you, 53

قُلْ أَنفِقُوا۟ طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًۭا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمْ

for you are a people of oversteppers." 53

إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ

And nothing prevented their contributions from being accepted, except that they denied-disowned God and His Messenger, that they come to the Contact only lazily, and spend only reluctantly. 54

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَٰتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كَٰرِهُونَ

Let neither their wealth nor their children impress you then. 55

فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُهُمْ

God wants only, through this, to punish them in the present life, and that their Selves depart while they deny-disown. 55

إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

They swear by God that they are indeed of you, when they are not of you; but they are a people who love to divide.i 56

وَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَمِنكُمْ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌۭ يَفْرَقُونَ

If they found a refuge, caves, or a hiding place, they would rush headlong into it. 57

لَوْ يَجِدُونَ مَلْجَـًٔا أَوْ مَغَٰرَٰتٍ أَوْ مُدَّخَلًۭا لَّوَلَّوْا۟ إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَجْمَحُونَ

And among them is one who criticizes you concerning the alms: if they are given some of it, they are satisfied; and if they are not given any of it, at once they are angry. 58

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَلْمِزُكَ فِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا۟ مِنْهَا رَضُوا۟ وَإِن لَّمْ يُعْطَوْا۟ مِنْهَآ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ

Had they instead been satisfied with what God and His Messenger gave them, and said: "God suffices us; God will grant us of His favor, and His Messenger too; 59

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَقَالُوا۟ حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ

it is toward God that we turn." 59

إِنَّآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ رَٰغِبُونَ

The alms are destined only for the destitute, the poor, those who administer them, those whose cores have been united with the believers, those under the burden of a debt, those indebted by an unforeseen expense, in the way of God, and the stranded traveler — an obligation from God.i 60

إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَٱلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلْغَٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَرِيضَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ

God is All-Knowing, Wise. 60

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ

And among them are those who hurt the Prophet and say: "He is all ear." 61

وَمِنْهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌۭ

ورش قالون

Say: "An ear of good for you: he believes in God, trusts the believers, and is a benevolence for those among you who have believed." 61

قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍۢ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ

And those who hurt the messenger of God will have a painful punishment. 61

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

They swear to you by God, to satisfy you; but God and His Messenger are more worthy that they should seek to satisfy Them, if they are believers. 62

يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Do they not know that whoever opposes God and His Messenger will have the fire of Jahannam, wherein he will abide eternally? 63

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُۥ مَن يُحَادِدِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَأَنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدًۭا فِيهَا

That is the immense disgrace. 63

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخِزْىُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

The hypocrites dread that a sourate be sent down concerning them, informing them of what is in their cores. 64

يَحْذَرُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌۭ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ

Say: "Mock away! 64

قُلِ ٱسْتَهْزِءُوٓا۟

God will bring out into the open what you dread." 64

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌۭ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ

And if you question them, they will certainly say: "We were only chatting and playing." 65

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ

Say: "Was it God, His signs, and His Messenger that you were mocking?" 65

قُلْ أَبِٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَرَسُولِهِۦ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Do not make excuses: 66

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا۟

you have denied-disowned after your faith. 66

قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمْ

If pardon is granted to a group among you, another group will be punished, for having been severed.i 66

إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٍۢ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآئِفَةًۢ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

ورش قالون البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي

The hypocrites, men and women, are of one another: they enjoin what is disavowed and forbid what is recognized, and they close their hands; they forgot God, so He forgot them. 67

ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعْضٍۢ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ

The hypocrites are indeed the oversteppers. 67

إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ

God has promised the hypocrites, men and women, and those who deny-disown, the fire of Jahannam, wherein they will abide eternally. 68

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتِ وَٱلْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا

That suffices them. 68

هِىَ حَسْبُهُمْ

God has cursed them, 68

وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ

and they will have a lasting punishment. 68

وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ مُّقِيمٌۭ

Like those who preceded you: they were stronger than you in power, richer in wealth and children; they enjoyed their share, and you have enjoyed your share as those before you enjoyed their share, and you have plunged [into futility] as they plunged. 69

كَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةًۭ وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَٰلًۭا وَأَوْلَٰدًۭا فَٱسْتَمْتَعُوا۟ بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ فَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَٰقِكُمْ كَمَا ٱسْتَمْتَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَٱلَّذِى خَاضُوٓا۟

Those are the ones whose works have collapsed, in the present life and in the last life; 69

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ

and those are the losers. 69

وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ

Has there not come to them the information concerning those before them: the people of Nuh, the Recidivists [Aad], Thamud, the people of Ibrahim, the companions of Madyan, and the overturned cities?i 70

أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍۢ وَعَادٍۢ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَأَصْحَٰبِ مَدْيَنَ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتِ

Their messengers had come to them with clear proofs. 70

أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ

It was not for God to wrong them; 70

فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ

but it was themselves that they wronged. 70

وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

The believers, men and women, are allies of one another: 71

وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍۢ

they enjoin what is recognized and forbid what is disavowed, they maintain the Contact, give the purifying alms, and obey God and His Messenger. 71

يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ

Those are the ones on whom God will have benevolence. 71

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ

God is All-Powerful, Wise. 71

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌۭ

God has promised the believers, men and women, gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, and good dwellings in the gardens of Eden; 72

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَمَسَٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةًۭ فِى جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍۢ

and a good pleasure from God is greater still. 72

وَرِضْوَٰنٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ

That is the immense triumph. 72

ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

O Prophet! strive against those who deny-disown and the hypocrites, and be firm with them. 73

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ جَٰهِدِ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ

ورش قالون

Their refuge will be Jahannam, 73

وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ

and what an evil destination! 73

وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

They swear by God that they said nothing; 74

يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ مَا قَالُوا۟

yet they did indeed utter the word of denial-disowning, and they denied-disowned after having been true to God, and they plotted what they could not attain. 74

وَلَقَدْ قَالُوا۟ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوا۟ بَعْدَ إِسْلَٰمِهِمْ وَهَمُّوا۟ بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُوا۟

They have nothing to hold against, except that God and His Messenger enriched them from His favor. 74

وَمَا نَقَمُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ أَنْ أَغْنَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ

If they turn back [to God], it will be better for them; 74

فَإِن يَتُوبُوا۟ يَكُ خَيْرًۭا لَّهُمْ

but if they turn away, God will punish them with a painful punishment, in the present life and in the last life, 74

وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ

and they will have, on earth, neither protector nor helper. 74

وَمَا لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا نَصِيرٍۢ

And among them is one who made a pact with God: "If He gives us of His favor, we will surely give alms, and we will surely be among the righteous." 75

وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَٰهَدَ ٱللَّهَ لَئِنْ ءَاتَىٰنَا مِن فَضْلِهِۦ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

But when He gave them of His favor, they became stingy with it and turned away, evading. 76

فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦ بَخِلُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ

So He made this followed by hypocrisy in their cores, until the day they will meet Him, for having failed God in what they had promised Him, and for having lied. 77

فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًۭا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ بِمَآ أَخْلَفُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَ

Do they not know that God knows their secret and their private talks, and that God is the great Knower of what escapes the senses?i 78

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَىٰهُمْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ

Those who criticize the believers who give alms willingly, and mock those who have only their effort to give — God mocks them, 79

ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ ٱلْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ ٱللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ

and they will have a painful punishment. 79

وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Whether you ask forgiveness for them or not — 80

ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ

even if you asked forgiveness for them seventy times, God will never forgive them. 80

إِن تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةًۭ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ

That is because they denied-disowned God and His Messenger. 80

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ

And God does not guide the people of the oversteppers. 80

وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ

Those who stayed behind rejoiced in their position, apart from the messenger of God, and were averse to striving with their possessions and their Selves in the way of God, and said: 'Do not mobilize in the heat.' 81

فَرِحَ ٱلْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَٰفَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَرِهُوٓا۟ أَن يُجَٰهِدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَنفِرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْحَرِّ

Say: "The fire of Jahannam is even more intense in heat" — if only they understood! 81

قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّۭا لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ يَفْقَهُونَ

Let them laugh little, then, and weep much, as a reward for what they used to earn. 82

فَلْيَضْحَكُوا۟ قَلِيلًۭا وَلْيَبْكُوا۟ كَثِيرًۭا جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

If God brings you back to a group of them, and they ask you permission to go out [with you], say then: "You will never go out with me, and you will never fight with me an enemy. 83

فَإِن رَّجَعَكَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَىٰ طَآئِفَةٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ فَٱسْتَـْٔذَنُوكَ لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخْرُجُوا۟ مَعِىَ أَبَدًۭا وَلَن تُقَٰتِلُوا۟ مَعِىَ عَدُوًّا

ورش قالون السوسي

You were satisfied with staying behind the first time; 83

إِنَّكُمْ رَضِيتُم بِٱلْقُعُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ

so stay with those who stay behind." 83

فَٱقْعُدُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلْخَٰلِفِينَ

And never seek the Contact for any of them who dies, and do not maintain yourself for his burial:i 84

وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٍۢ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًۭا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِۦٓ

they denied-disowned God and His Messenger, and died as oversteppers. 84

إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ

Let neither their wealth nor their children impress you then. 85

وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَأَوْلَٰدُهُمْ

God wants only, through this, to punish them in the present life, and that their Selves depart while they deny-disown. 85

إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

And when a sourate is sent down [demanding]: "Believe in God, and strive with His Messenger", those among them who have the means ask you permission [to stay], and say: "Leave us, that we may be with those who stay." 86

وَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ أَنْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَجَٰهِدُوا۟ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ ٱسْتَـْٔذَنَكَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ ذَرْنَا نَكُن مَّعَ ٱلْقَٰعِدِينَ

ورش قالون السوسي

They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind,i 87

رَضُوا۟ بِأَن يَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلْخَوَالِفِ

and a seal has been set upon their cores, so that they do not understand. 87

وَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

But the messenger, and those who believed with him, strove with their possessions and their Selves, 88

لَٰكِنِ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ جَٰهَدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ

and those are the ones to whom belong the excellent things, 88

وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخَيْرَٰتُ

and those are the ones who succeed. 88

وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

God has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally. 89

أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا

That is the immense triumph. 89

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

And the excuse-makers, among the notables, came so that permission [to stay] might be granted them, while those who lied to God and His Messenger remained seated.i 90

وَجَآءَ ٱلْمُعَذِّرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ

A painful punishment will strike those among them who denied-disowned. 90

سَيُصِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

No blame upon the weak, nor upon the sick, nor upon those who find nothing to spend, so long as they are sincere toward God and His Messenger. 91

لَّيْسَ عَلَى ٱلضُّعَفَآءِ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلْمَرْضَىٰ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ مَا يُنفِقُونَ حَرَجٌ إِذَا نَصَحُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ

No blame upon those who do good. 91

مَا عَلَى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ مِن سَبِيلٍۢ

God is Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence. 91

وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

Nor against those who, having come to you so that you might transport them, [heard you] say: "I find nothing on which to transport you", 92

وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ

and who went away, their eyes overflowing with tears, grieved that they could not find anything to spend. 92

تَوَلَّوا۟ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا۟ مَا يُنفِقُونَ

The blame falls only on those who ask you permission while they are rich. 93

إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَـْٔذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ أَغْنِيَآءُ

ورش قالون السوسي

They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind, 93

رَضُوا۟ بِأَن يَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلْخَوَالِفِ

and God has set a seal upon their cores, so that they do not know. 93

وَطَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

They will make excuses to you, when you have returned to them. 94

يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ

Say: "Do not make excuses, we will not believe you. 94

قُل لَّا تَعْتَذِرُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ

God has already informed us of your news. 94

قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ

God will see your deed, and so will His Messenger, 94

وَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُۥ

then you will be brought back to the Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is manifest, and He will inform you of what you used to do."i 94

ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

They will swear to you by God, once you have returned to them, so that you may turn away from them. 95

سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ

So turn away from them: 95

فَأَعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ

they are a defilement, 95

إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌۭ

and their refuge will be Jahannam, 95

وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ

as a reward for what they used to earn. 95

جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

They swear to you, so that you may be satisfied with them; but even if you were satisfied with them, God would not be satisfied with the people of the oversteppers. 96

يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا۟ عَنْهُمْ فَإِن تَرْضَوْا۟ عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَرْضَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ

The notables are even more intense in denial-disowning and hypocrisy, and it is merited that they do not know the limits of what God has sent down upon His Messenger.i 97

ٱلْأَعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْرًۭا وَنِفَاقًۭا وَأَجْدَرُ أَلَّا يَعْلَمُوا۟ حُدُودَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ

God is All-Knowing, Wise. 97

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ

And among the notables is one who regards what he spends as a forced loss, and awaits misfortunes for you. 98

وَمِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ مَغْرَمًۭا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ ٱلدَّوَآئِرَ

Upon them, the cycle of misfortune. 98

عَلَيْهِمْ دَآئِرَةُ ٱلسَّوْءِ

God is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 98

وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ

And among the notables is one who believes in God and the Last Day, and who regards what he spends as a means of drawing near to God and the visits of the messenger.i 99

وَمِنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَٰتٍ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَصَلَوَٰتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ

Is that not, for him, a true drawing-near? 99

أَلَآ إِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌۭ لَّهُمْ

God will admit them into His benevolence. 99

سَيُدْخِلُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦٓ

God is Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence. 99

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

The very first forerunners, among the emigrants and the Helpers [those who took the refugees into their homes], and those who followed them in excellence — God is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him;i 100

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَٰنٍۢ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ

He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, forever. 100

وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٍۢ تَجْرِى تَحْتَهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًۭا

That is the immense triumph. 100

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

And among the notables around you, there are hypocrites, 101

وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ مُنَٰفِقُونَ

as well as, among the notables of the Capital, people hardened in hypocrisy whom you do not know:i 101

وَمِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنِّفَاقِ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْ

We, We know them. 101

نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ

We will punish them twice, then they will be brought back to an immense punishment. 101

سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٍۢ

And others have acknowledged their wrongs, having mixed a righteous deed with another that was evil; it may be that God will turn toward them with clemency. 102

وَءَاخَرُونَ ٱعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا۟ عَمَلًۭا صَٰلِحًۭا وَءَاخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ

God is Most-Forgiving, full of benevolence. 102

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌ

Take from their wealth an alms that purifies them and makes them grow, and visit them:i 103

خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ صَدَقَةًۭ تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ

your visit is a comfort for them.i 103

إِنَّ صَلَوٰتَكَ سَكَنٌۭ لَّهُمْ

God is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 103

وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Do they not know that God, He, accepts the repentance of His obedient ones and receives the alms, and that God, He, is the Ever-Accepter of repentance, full of benevolence?i 104

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ ٱلتَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And say: "Act; God will see your deed, and so will His Messenger and the believers, 105

وَقُلِ ٱعْمَلُوا۟ فَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

and you will be brought back to the Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is manifest, and He will inform you of what you used to do."i 105

وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And others are held in suspense for God's command: either He will punish them, or He will turn toward them with clemency. 106

وَءَاخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَإِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ

God is All-Knowing, Wise. 106

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ

And those who took a place of prostration for harm, for denial-disowning, for division among the believers, and as a lookout post for one who, previously, had made war on God and His Messenger — 107

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مَسْجِدًۭا ضِرَارًۭا وَكُفْرًۭا وَتَفْرِيقًۢا بَيْنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًۭا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ

🖼 ورش قالون

they will surely swear: "We wanted only the best"; 107

وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

but God testifies that they are indeed liars. 107

وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

Never maintain yourself therein.i 108

لَا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًۭا

A place of prostration founded upon guardedness, from the very first day, is far more worthy that you should maintain yourself therein. 108

لَّمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِ

In it are men who love to purify themselves. 108

فِيهِ رِجَالٌۭ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُوا۟

God loves those who purify themselves. 108

وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُطَّهِّرِينَ

Is one who has founded his structure upon guardedness toward God and His good pleasure better, or one who has founded his structure on the edge of a crumbling ravine, which then collapses with him into the fire of Jahannam? 109

أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍۢ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ

And God does not guide the unjust people. 109

وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

The structure they built continues to be a doubt in their cores, unless their cores are torn to pieces. 110

لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَٰنُهُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَنَوْا۟ رِيبَةًۭ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ

God is All-Knowing, Wise. 110

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

God has bought from the believers their Selves and their possessions, in exchange for the Garden that belongs to them. 111

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةَ

They fight in the way of God, kill and are killed — it is a promise incumbent upon Him, in truth, in the Torah, the Gospel, and this Recitation. 111

يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّۭا فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ

And who keeps his engagement better than God? 111

وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِۦ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ

So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him, 111

فَٱسْتَبْشِرُوا۟ بِبَيْعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَايَعْتُم بِهِۦ

and that is the immense triumph. 111

وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Those who return [to God], who obey, who praise, who journey [His way], who bow, who prostrate, who enjoin what is recognized and forbid what is disavowed, and who guard the limits of God — 112

ٱلتَّٰٓئِبُونَ ٱلْعَٰبِدُونَ ٱلْحَٰمِدُونَ ٱلسَّٰٓئِحُونَ ٱلرَّٰكِعُونَ ٱلسَّٰجِدُونَ ٱلْءَامِرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَٱلنَّاهُونَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْحَٰفِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ ٱللَّهِ

and give good news to the believers. 112

وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

It was not for the Prophet, nor for those who believed, to ask forgiveness for the associators, even if they were close relatives, once it had become clear to them that they were the companions of the Blaze. 113

مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِىِّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓا۟ أُو۟لِى قُرْبَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

ورش قالون

And Ibrahim's asking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made him;i 114

وَمَا كَانَ ٱسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍۢ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ

but when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of God, he disavowed him. 114

فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ

Ibrahim was indeed full of compassion, thoughtful.i 114

إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٌۭ

It was not for God to lead a people astray after having guided them, without first having made clear to them what they must guard themselves against. 115

وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوْمًۢا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَىٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُبَيِّنَ لَهُم مَّا يَتَّقُونَ

God is All-Knowing of all things. 115

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; 116

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ

He gives life and causes death. 116

يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ

And you have, besides God, neither protector nor helper. 116

وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا نَصِيرٍۢ

God has indeed turned with clemency toward the Prophet, the emigrants, and the Helpers [those who took in the refugees], who followed him in the hour of hardship, after the cores of a group among them had almost wavered; then He turned toward them with clemency — He is, toward them, full of bonté, full of benevolence — and [He turned] toward the three who had stayed behind, 118

لَّقَد تَّابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ فِى سَاعَةِ ٱلْعُسْرَةِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيغُ قُلُوبُ فَرِيقٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّهُۥ بِهِمْ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا۟

ورش شعبة قالون البزي قنبل الدوري السوسي

until, when the earth had become narrow for them despite its vastness, and their very Selves had become narrow for them, and they thought that there is no refuge from God except toward Him — then He turned toward them with clemency, so that they might turn back [to Him]. 118

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَن لَّا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوٓا۟

God, He, is the Ever-Accepter of repentance, full of benevolence. 118

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

O you who have believed! guard yourselves toward God, and be with the truthful. 119

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

It was not for the notables of the Capital, nor for those around them among the notables, to stay behind, apart from the messenger of God, nor to prefer their own Selves to his.i 120

مَا كَانَ لِأَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ أَن يَتَخَلَّفُوا۟ عَن رَّسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَرْغَبُوا۟ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ

That is because no thirst, no fatigue, no hunger touches them in the way of God, no step they tread irritates those who deny-disown, and they gain nothing from an enemy, without a righteous deed being inscribed for them because of it. 120

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يُصِيبُهُمْ ظَمَأٌۭ وَلَا نَصَبٌۭ وَلَا مَخْمَصَةٌۭ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَطَـُٔونَ مَوْطِئًۭا يَغِيظُ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّۢ نَّيْلًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عَمَلٌۭ صَٰلِحٌ

God does not let the reward of those who do good be lost. 120

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

And they do not spend any expenditure, small or great, nor do they cut off traffic in any valley [during the mobilization], without it being inscribed for them,i 121

وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ نَفَقَةًۭ صَغِيرَةًۭ وَلَا كَبِيرَةًۭ وَلَا يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ

so that God may reward them according to the best of what they used to do. 121

لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

It was not for the believers to mobilize all together. 122

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُوا۟ كَآفَّةًۭ

Why did not a detachment mobilize from every group among them, so that they might gain deep understanding in the Law, and warn their people upon their return to them, that they might guard themselves? 122

فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ طَآئِفَةٌۭ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا۟ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُوا۟ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ

O you who have believed! fight those among the deniers who are near you, and let them find in you firmness. 123

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قَٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُوا۟ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةًۭ

And know that God is with those who guard themselves. 123

وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

And when a sourate is sent down, there is among them one who says: "Which of you has this [sourate] increased in faith?" 124

وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌۭ فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَٰذِهِۦٓ إِيمَٰنًۭا

As for those who have believed, it has increased them in faith, and they rejoice at it. 124

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فَزَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَٰنًۭا وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

But as for those in whose cores is a sickness, it has added a defilement to their defilement, and they died denying-disowning. 125

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَىٰ رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

Do they not see that they are tried every year, once or twice? Yet they do not turn back [to God], and they do not take heed. 126

أَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِى كُلِّ عَامٍۢ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

And when a sourate is sent down, they look at one another: "Does anyone see you?" Then they slip away. 127

وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌۭ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَىٰكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍۢ ثُمَّ ٱنصَرَفُوا۟

God has turned away their cores, for they are a people who do not understand. 127

صَرَفَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌۭ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ

A messenger has indeed come to you, from among yourselves; it is grievous to him that you should suffer, he is full of concern for you, 128

لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ

attentive to you, 128

حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم

full of bonté, full of benevolence toward the believers. 128

بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

If they turn away, say then: "God suffices me; 129

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ

there is no deity but Him; 129

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ

upon Him I rely, 129

عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ

and He is the Guardian of the immense Edifice."i 129
