A Fine Paragon in Ibrahim
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
O you who have believed! Do not take My enemy and your enemy as allies,
يايها الذين امنوا لا تتخذوا عدوي وعدوكم اوليا
offering them affection, while they have disowned the truth that has come to you,
تلقون اليهم بالموده وقد كفروا بما جاكم من الحق
driving out the messenger and yourselves, because you believe in God, your Guardian.
يخرجون الرسول واياكم ان تومنوا بالله ربكم
If you went forth to strive in My way and seek My pleasure, you confide your affection to them secretly, while I know best what you have hidden and what you have disclosed.
ان كنتم خرجتم جهدا في سبيلي وابتغا مرضاتي تسرون اليهم بالموده وانا اعلم بما اخفيتم وما اعلنتم
And whoever among you does this has strayed from the straight way.
ومن يفعله منكم فقد ضل سوا السبيل
If they surprise you, they will be enemies to you, and stretch out against you their hands and their tongues with evil,
ان يثقفوكم يكونوا لكم اعدا ويبسطوا اليكم ايديهم والسنتهم بالسو
and they would like you to disown.
وودوا لو تكفرون
Neither your kinship nor your children will benefit you,
لن تنفعكم ارحامكم ولا اولدكم
on the Day of Appearance He will separate between you.
يوم القيمه يفصل بينكم
And God is All-Seeing of what you do.
والله بما تعملون بصير
You have had a fine paragon in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are indeed quit of you and of what you obey besides God; we disown you, and there has appeared between us and you enmity and hatred forever, until you believe in God alone" — except the saying of Ibrahim to his father: "I will surely ask forgiveness for you, and I possess nothing for you against God."
قد كانت لكم اسوه حسنه في ابرهيم والذين معه اذ قالوا لقومهم انا بروا منكم ومما تعبدون من دون الله كفرنا بكم وبدا بيننا وبينكم العدوه والبغضا ابدا حتي تومنوا بالله وحده الا قول ابرهيم لابيه لاستغفرن لك وما املك لك من الله من شي
"Our Guardian, to You we entrust ourselves, and to You we have recourse, and to You is the destination.
ربنا عليك توكلنا واليك انبنا واليك المصير
Our Guardian, do not make us a trial for those who disown,
ربنا لا تجعلنا فتنه للذين كفروا
and forgive us, our Guardian.
واغفر لنا ربنا
You, indeed, are the All-Powerful, the Wise."
انك انت العزيز الحكيم
You have indeed had in them a fine paragon, for whoever hopes for God and the Last Day.
لقد كان لكم فيهم اسوه حسنه لمن كان يرجوا الله واليوم الاخر
And whoever turns his back — indeed God is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.
ومن يتول فان الله هو الغني الحميد
It may be that God will place affection between you and those you have held as enemies among them,
عسي الله ان يجعل بينكم وبين الذين عاديتم منهم موده
and God is Capable,
والله قدير
and God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
والله غفور رحيم
God does not forbid you from being virtuous and equitable toward those who did not fight you concerning the Law and did not expel you from your abodes.
لا ينهيكم الله عن الذين لم يقتلوكم في الدين ولم يخرجوكم من ديركم ان تبروهم وتقسطوا اليهم
God indeed loves the equitable.
ان الله يحب المقسطين
God only forbids you from taking as allies those who fought you concerning the Law, expelled you from your abodes, and supported your expulsion.
انما ينهيكم الله عن الذين قتلوكم في الدين واخرجوكم من ديركم وظهروا علي اخراجكم ان تولوهم
And whoever allies with them — those are the wrongdoers.
ومن يتولهم فاوليك هم الظلمون
O you who have believed! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them.
يايها الذين امنوا اذا جاكم المومنت مهجرت فامتحنوهن
God knows best their faith.
الله اعلم بايمنهن
If you know them to be believers, do not return them to those who disown.
فان علمتموهن مومنت فلا ترجعوهن الي الكفار
They are not permitted to them, nor are they permitted to them.
لا هن حل لهم ولا هم يحلون لهن
And give them what they have spent.
واتوهم ما انفقوا
And no blame upon you for marrying them when you give them their rewards.
ولا جناح عليكم ان تنكحوهن اذا اتيتموهن اجورهن
And do not hold to the ties of those women who disown.
ولا تمسكوا بعصم الكوافر
And ask for what you have spent, and let them ask for what they have spent.
وسلوا ما انفقتم وليسلوا ما انفقوا
That is the judgment of God; He judges between you.
ذلكم حكم الله يحكم بينكم
And God is All-Knowing, Wise.
والله عليم حكيم
And if you miss any of your wives, gone over to those who disown, and you then pay back in kind, then give those whose wives have gone the equivalent of what they had spent.
وان فاتكم شي من ازوجكم الي الكفار فعاقبتم فاتوا الذين ذهبت ازوجهم مثل ما انفقوا
And guard yourselves toward God, in whom you believe.
واتقوا الله الذي انتم به مومنون
O Informant! When believing women come to you to pledge allegiance to you that they will not associate anything with God, not steal, not commit fornication, not kill their children, not bring forth slander they have invented between their hands and feet, and not disobey you in what is recognized, accept their pledge and ask God's forgiveness for them.
يايها النبي اذا جاك المومنت يبايعنك علي ان لا يشركن بالله شيا ولا يسرقن ولا يزنين ولا يقتلن اولدهن ولا ياتين ببهتن يفترينه بين ايديهن وارجلهن ولا يعصينك في معروف فبايعهن واستغفر لهن الله
God is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ان الله غفور رحيم
O you who have believed! Do not take as allies a people with whom God is angry, who have lost hope of the last life, just as those who disown have lost hope of the companions of the graves.
يايها الذين امنوا لا تتولوا قوما غضب الله عليهم قد ييسوا من الاخره كما ييس الكفار من اصحب القبور
