The Rope of God
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Alif. Lam. Mim.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم المGod, there is no deity but Him,
الله لا اله الا هوthe Living, the Self-Subsisting. He sent down upon you the Scripture, in truth, confirming what precedes it,
الحى القيوم نزل عليك الكتب بالحق مصدقا لما بين يديهand He sent down, before, the Tawrah and the Injil, a guidance for mankind, and He sent down the Discernment.
وانزل التورىة والانجيل من قبل هدى للناس وانزل الفرقانThose who have disowned the signs of God will have a severe punishment.
ان الذين كفروا بايت الله لهم عذاب شديدGod is All-Powerful, possessor of vengeance.
والله عزيز ذو انتقامNothing, on earth or in the sky, escapes God.
ان الله لا يخفى عليه شىء في الارض ولا في السماءIt is He who shapes you in the wombs as He wills.
هو الذي يصوركم في الارحام كيف يشاءThere is no deity but Him,
لا اله الا هوthe All-Powerful, the Wise.
العزيز الحكيمIt is He who sent down upon you the Scripture;
هو الذي انزل عليك الكتب منهin it are signs of firm terms, which are the foundation of the Scripture, and others, subject to resemblance.
ءايت محكمت هن ام الكتب واخر متشبهتAs for those in whose cores is a deviation, they follow what, in the Scripture, lends itself to resemblance, in pursuit of the trial and in pursuit of its interpretation;
فاما الذين في قلوبهم زيغ فيتبعون ما تشبه منه ابتغاء الفتنة وابتغاء تاويلهbut none knows its interpretation, except God.
وما يعلم تاويله الا اللهAnd those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: "We believe in it; all of it comes from our Guardian";
والرسخون في العلم يقولون ءامنا به كل من عند ربناand only the possessors of intelligence take heed.
وما يذكر الا اولوا الالبب"Our Guardian, do not let our cores deviate after You have guided us, and grant us, from Yourself, a benevolence;
ربنا لا تزغ قلوبنا بعد اذ هديتنا وهب لنا من لدنك رحمةYou are indeed, You, the Great Bestower.
انك انت الوهابOur Guardian, You are the One who gathers mankind for a day without doubt possible.
ربنا انك جامع الناس ليوم لا ريب فيهGod indeed does not fail His promise."
ان الله لا يخلف الميعادIndeed, those who disown, neither their goods nor their children will avail them at all against God.
ان الذين كفروا لن تغني عنهم امولهم ولا اولدهم من الله شياThose are the ones who will fuel the Fire, like the conduct of the clan of Fir'awn,
واوليك هم وقود النار كداب ءال فرعونand of those before them, who denied Our signs; God then seized them for their offenses.
والذين من قبلهم كذبوا بايتنا فاخذهم الله بذنوبهمGod is severe in sanction.
والله شديد العقابSay to those who disown: "You will be defeated, and gathered toward Jahannam."
قل للذين كفروا ستغلبون وتحشرون الى جهنمAnd what an evil bed!
وبيس المهادYou had a sign in those two forces that met:
قد كان لكم ءاية في فيتين التقتاone fought in the way of God, and the other disowned, seeing it, with the naked eye, twice as numerous as itself.
فية تقتل في سبيل الله واخرى كافرة يرونهم مثليهم راي العينGod reinforces, by His help, whom He wills.
والله يويد بنصره من يشاءThere is surely a lesson in that for the possessors of sight.
ان في ذلك لعبرة لاولي الابصرThe love of passions has been embellished for people: women, children, heaped treasures of gold and silver, thoroughbred horses, cattle, and crops.
زين للناس حب الشهوت من النساء والبنين والقنطير المقنطرة من الذهب والفضة والخيل المسومة والانعم والحرثThat is the enjoyment of the present life;
ذلك متع الحيوة الدنياbut it is with God that the best destination is found.
والله عنده حسن المابSay: "Shall I inform you of something better than that?
قل اونبيكم بخير من ذلكمFor those who guard themselves, with their Guardian, gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, purified spouses, and a good pleasure from God."
للذين اتقوا عند ربهم جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيها وازوج مطهرة ورضون من اللهGod sees perfectly His obedient ones,
والله بصير بالعبادthose who say: "Our Guardian, we have believed; forgive us, then, our offenses, and preserve us from the punishment of the Fire",
الذين يقولون ربنا اننا ءامنا فاغفر لنا ذنوبنا وقنا عذاب النارthe patient, the truthful, the devoted, those who spend, and those who ask forgiveness before dawn.
الصبرين والصدقين والقنتين والمنفقين والمستغفرين بالاسحارGod bears witness, and so do the Agents and the possessors of knowledge, that there is no deity but Him, standing firm in equity.
شهد الله انه لا اله الا هو والمليكة واولوا العلم قايما بالقسطThere is no deity but Him,
لا اله الا هوthe All-Powerful, the Wise.
العزيز الحكيمThe Law, with God, is being true to Him alone.
ان الدين عند الله الاسلمAnd those to whom the Scripture was given diverged only after knowledge had come to them,
وما اختلف الذين اوتوا الكتب الا من بعد ما جاءهم العلمout of aggression among themselves.
بغيا بينهمAnd whoever disowns the signs of God — God is swift in reckoning.
ومن يكفر بايت الله فان الله سريع الحسابIf they dispute with you, say then: "I render my direction true to God alone, as do those who have followed me."
فان حاجوك فقل اسلمت وجهي لله ومن اتبعنAnd say to those to whom the Scripture was given, and to the people without a prior Scripture: "Have you become true to God alone?"
وقل للذين اوتوا الكتب والامين ءاسلمتمIf they become so, they are then rightly guided;
فان اسلموا فقد اهتدواand if they turn away, only the transmission is incumbent upon you.
وان تولوا فانما عليك البلغGod sees perfectly His obedient ones.
والله بصير بالعبادThose who disown the signs of God, kill the prophets without right, and kill those who, among people, order equity — announce to them a painful punishment.
ان الذين يكفرون بايت الله ويقتلون النبين بغير حق ويقتلون الذين يامرون بالقسط من الناس فبشرهم بعذاب اليمThose are the ones whose works have collapsed, in the present life and in the last life,
اوليك الذين حبطت اعملهم في الدنيا والءاخرةand they will have no helpers.
وما لهم من نصرينHave you not seen those to whom a portion of the Scripture was given, called to the Scripture of God so that it may judge between them, then a group of them turns away, resolutely?
الم تر الى الذين اوتوا نصيبا من الكتب يدعون الى كتب الله ليحكم بينهم ثم يتولى فريق منهم وهم معرضونThat is because they said: "The Fire will touch us only for a counted number of days"; and what they used to invent deceived them in their Law.
ذلك بانهم قالوا لن تمسنا النار الا اياما معدودت وغرهم في دينهم ما كانوا يفترونHow then, when We will have gathered them for a day without doubt possible, and every Self will have been fully repaid for what it has earned, without being wronged?
فكيف اذا جمعنهم ليوم لا ريب فيه ووفيت كل نفس ما كسبت وهم لا يظلمونSay: "O God, Sovereign of dominion! You give dominion to whom You will, and You strip dominion from whom You will; You honor whom You will, and You abase whom You will; good is in Your hand.
قل اللهم ملك الملك توتي الملك من تشاء وتنزع الملك ممن تشاء وتعز من تشاء وتذل من تشاء بيدك الخيرYou are indeed capable of all things.
انك على كل شىء قديرYou make the night penetrate into the day, and You make the day penetrate into the night; You bring forth the living from the dead, and You bring forth the dead from the living; and You provide sustenance to whom You will, without measure."
تولج اليل في النهار وتولج النهار في اليل وتخرج الحى من الميت وتخرج الميت من الحى وترزق من تشاء بغير حسابLet not the believers take those who disown as allies, besides the believers;
لا يتخذ المومنون الكفرين اولياء من دون المومنينand whoever does that has nothing more to do with God — except if you guard yourselves from them as a precaution.
ومن يفعل ذلك فليس من الله في شىء الا ان تتقوا منهم تقىةGod warns you against Himself,
ويحذركم الله نفسهand to God is the destination.
والى الله المصيرSay: "Whether you hide what is in your chests, or show it, God knows it.
قل ان تخفوا ما في صدوركم او تبدوه يعلمه اللهAnd He knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
ويعلم ما في السموت وما في الارضGod is capable of all things.
والله على كل شىء قديرThe day when every Self will find present what it has done of good,
يوم تجد كل نفس ما عملت من خير محضراand what it has done of evil, it would wish there were between that and itself an immense distance.
وما عملت من سوء تود لو ان بينها وبينه امدا بعيداGod warns you against Himself.
ويحذركم الله نفسهGod is full of kindness toward His obedient ones.
والله رءوف بالعبادSay: "If you love God, follow me: God will love you and forgive you your offenses.
قل ان كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني يحببكم الله ويغفر لكم ذنوبكمGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent."
والله غفور رحيمSay: "Obey God and the messenger";
قل اطيعوا الله والرسولand if they turn away, God does not love those who disown.
فان تولوا فان الله لا يحب الكفرينGod has indeed chosen Adam, Nuh, the family of Ibrahim, and the family of Imran, above all beings, descendants one from another.
ان الله اصطفى ءادم ونوحا وءال ابرهيم وءال عمرن على العلمين ذرية بعضها من بعضGod is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
والله سميع عليمremember when the wife of Imran said: "My Guardian, I devote to You what is in my belly, wholly consecrated; accept it, then, from me.
اذ قالت امرات عمرن رب اني نذرت لك ما في بطني محررا فتقبل منيYou are indeed, You, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."
انك انت السميع العليمThen, when she gave birth to her, she said: "My Guardian, I have given birth to her, a girl" — God knew better, though, what she had given birth to —
فلما وضعتها قالت رب اني وضعتها انثى والله اعلم بما وضعت"and the male is not like the female;
وليس الذكر كالانثىI have given her the attribute Maryam,
واني سميتها مريمand I place her, and her descendants, under Your protection, against the banished Diverter."
واني اعيذها بك وذريتها من الشيطن الرجيمHer Guardian received her with a beautiful reception, and made her grow with a beautiful growth,
فتقبلها ربها بقبول حسن وانبتها نباتا حسناand entrusted her care to Zakariya.
وكفلها زكرياEvery time Zakariya entered upon her in the oratory, he found near her a provision.
كلما دخل عليها زكريا المحراب وجد عندها رزقاHe said: "O Maryam! from where does this come to you?"
قال يمريم انى لك هذاShe said: "It comes from God.
قالت هو من عند اللهGod provides sustenance to whom He wills, without measure."
ان الله يرزق من يشاء بغير حسابRight there, Zakariya invoked his Guardian.
هنالك دعا زكريا ربهHe said: "My Guardian, grant me, from Yourself, an excellent offspring; You are the Hearer of invocation."
قال رب هب لي من لدنك ذرية طيبة انك سميع الدعاءThe Agents called him while he was making contact in the oratory: "God announces to you Yahya, confirming a word from God, a chief, a man of total continence, and a prophet, among the righteous."
فنادته المليكة وهو قايم يصلي في المحراب ان الله يبشرك بيحيى مصدقا بكلمة من الله وسيدا وحصورا ونبيا من الصلحينHe said: "My Guardian, how shall I have a boy, when old age has already reached me, and my wife is barren?"
قال رب انى يكون لي غلم وقد بلغني الكبر وامراتي عاقرHe said: "Thus it is:
قال كذلكGod does what He wills."
الله يفعل ما يشاءHe said: "My Guardian, appoint for me a sign."
قال رب اجعل لي ءايةHe said: "Your sign will be that you will not speak to people except by gestures, for three days.
قال ءايتك الا تكلم الناس ثلثة ايام الا رمزاAnd remember your Guardian abundantly, and glorify Him in the evening and at dawn."
واذكر ربك كثيرا وسبح بالعشي والابكرAnd remember when the Agents said: "O Maryam! God has chosen you, purified you, and chosen you above the women of all beings.
واذ قالت المليكة يمريم ان الله اصطفىك وطهرك واصطفىك على نساء العلمينO Maryam! be devoted toward your Guardian, prostrate, and bow with those who bow."
يمريم اقنتي لربك واسجدي واركعي مع الركعينThat is part of the information about what escapes the senses, which We reveal to you.
ذلك من انباء الغيب نوحيه اليكYou were not with them when they cast their reeds [to draw lots] as to which of them would take charge of Maryam,
وما كنت لديهم اذ يلقون اقلمهم ايهم يكفل مريمand you were not with them when they quarreled. remember when the Agents said: "O Maryam! God announces to you a word from Himself,
وما كنت لديهم اذ يختصمون اذ قالت المليكة يمريم ان الله يبشرك بكلمة منهwhose attribute will be Al-Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, of high standing in the present life and in the last life, and among those brought near.
اسمه المسيح عيسى ابن مريم وجيها في الدنيا والءاخرة ومن المقربينHe will speak to people in the cradle and in maturity,
ويكلم الناس في المهد وكهلاand will be among the righteous."
ومن الصلحينShe said: "My Guardian, how shall I have a child, when no human has touched me?"
قالت رب انى يكون لي ولد ولم يمسسني بشرHe said: "Thus it is:
قال كذلكGod creates what He wills.
الله يخلق ما يشاءWhen He decrees a thing, He only says to it: Be",
اذا قضى امرا فانما يقول له كنand it is.
فيكون"And He will teach him the Code, wisdom, the Tawrah and the Injil, and [will send him as] a messenger to the sons of Israel: I bring you a sign from your Guardian:
ويعلمه الكتب والحكمة والتورىة والانجيل ورسولا الى بني اسرءيل اني قد جيتكم باية من ربكمI fashion for you, from clay, the form of a bird, then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird, with God's permission.
اني اخلق لكم من الطين كهية الطير فانفخ فيه فيكون طيرا باذن اللهAnd I heal the born-blind and the leper, and I bring the dead back to life, with God's permission.
وابري الاكمه والابرص واحي الموتى باذن اللهAnd I inform you of what you eat and what you store up in your houses.
وانبيكم بما تاكلون وما تدخرون في بيوتكمThere is surely in that a sign for you, if you are believers.
ان في ذلك لءاية لكم ان كنتم مومنينAnd [I come] confirming what, of the Tawrah, precedes me, and to make lawful for you a part of what was forbidden to you.
ومصدقا لما بين يدى من التورىة ولاحل لكم بعض الذي حرم عليكمI bring you a sign from your Guardian;
وجيتكم باية من ربكمguard yourselves, then, toward God, and obey me.
فاتقوا الله واطيعونGod is indeed my Guardian and your Guardian; obey Him, then.
ان الله ربي وربكم فاعبدوهThat is a straight path."
هذا صرط مستقيمWhen Issa perceived disowning from them, he said: "Who will be my helpers toward God?"
فلما احس عيسى منهم الكفر قال من انصاري الى اللهThe disciples said: "We are the helpers of God.
قال الحواريون نحن انصار اللهWe believe in God, and bear witness that we are true to Him alone.
ءامنا بالله واشهد بانا مسلمونOur Guardian, we have believed in what You have sent down, and we have followed the messenger; inscribe us, then, among the witnesses."
ربنا ءامنا بما انزلت واتبعنا الرسول فاكتبنا مع الشهدينThey plotted, and God plotted [in return],
ومكروا ومكر اللهand God is the best of those who plot.
والله خير المكرينremember when God said: "O Issa! I am going to take you back to Me, raise you to Me, and purify you from those who disowned,
اذ قال الله يعيسى اني متوفيك ورافعك الى ومطهرك من الذين كفرواand place those who followed you above those who disowned, until the Day of Appearance.
وجاعل الذين اتبعوك فوق الذين كفروا الى يوم القيمةThen to Me will be your return, and I will judge between you concerning what you used to differ over.
ثم الى مرجعكم فاحكم بينكم فيما كنتم فيه تختلفونAs for those who disowned, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in the present life and in the last life,
فاما الذين كفروا فاعذبهم عذابا شديدا في الدنيا والءاخرةand they will have no helpers.
وما لهم من نصرينAnd as for those who have believed and done righteous deeds, He will pay them their rewards in full.
واما الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت فيوفيهم اجورهمGod does not love the wrongdoers."
والله لا يحب الظلمينThat is what We recite to you of the signs and the wise Reminder.
ذلك نتلوه عليك من الءايت والذكر الحكيمThe likeness of Issa, with God, is like that of Adam:
ان مثل عيسى عند الله كمثل ءادمHe created him from earth, then said to him: "Be",
خلقه من تراب ثم قال له كنand he was.
فيكونThat is the truth from your Guardian;
الحق من ربكso do not be among those who doubt.
فلا تكن من الممترينTo whoever would dispute with you about this, after knowledge has come to you, say: "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then let us pray fervently, and call the curse of God upon the liars."
فمن حاجك فيه من بعد ما جاءك من العلم فقل تعالوا ندع ابناءنا وابناءكم ونساءنا ونساءكم وانفسنا وانفسكم ثم نبتهل فنجعل لعنت الله على الكذبينThis is surely the true account,
ان هذا لهو القصص الحقand there is no deity but God.
وما من اله الا اللهAnd God is surely the All-Powerful, the Wise.
وان الله لهو العزيز الحكيمIf they turn away, God is All-Knowing of the sowers of corruption.
فان تولوا فان الله عليم بالمفسدينSay: "O people of the Scripture! come to an equitable word between us and you: that we obey none but God, that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us take others as masters besides God."
قل ياهل الكتب تعالوا الى كلمة سواء بيننا وبينكم الا نعبد الا الله ولا نشرك به شيا ولا يتخذ بعضنا بعضا اربابا من دون اللهIf they turn away, say then: "Bear witness that we are true to God alone."
فان تولوا فقولوا اشهدوا بانا مسلمونO people of the Scripture! why do you dispute concerning Ibrahim,
ياهل الكتب لم تحاجون في ابرهيمwhen the Tawrah and the Injil were sent down only after him?
وما انزلت التورىة والانجيل الا من بعدهWill you not then reason?
افلا تعقلونHere you are disputing about that of which you have some knowledge; but why do you dispute about that of which you have no knowledge?
هانتم هولاء حججتم فيما لكم به علم فلم تحاجون فيما ليس لكم به علمGod knows,
والله يعلمand you do not know.
وانتم لا تعلمونIbrahim was neither Reoriented nor a Helper, but he was wholly turned toward God, true to Him alone,
ما كان ابرهيم يهوديا ولا نصرانيا ولكن كان حنيفا مسلماand he was not among those who associate.
وما كان من المشركينThe people closest to Ibrahim are surely those who followed him, as well as this prophet and those who have believed.
ان اولى الناس بابرهيم للذين اتبعوه وهذا النبي والذين ءامنواGod is the protector of the believers.
والله ولي المومنينA group among the people of the Scripture would have liked to lead you astray;
ودت طايفة من اهل الكتب لو يضلونكمbut they lead astray none but themselves, without realizing it.
وما يضلون الا انفسهم وما يشعرونO people of the Scripture! why do you disown the signs of God, when you bear witness to them?
ياهل الكتب لم تكفرون بايت الله وانتم تشهدونO people of the Scripture! why do you cover the truth with falsehood, and hide the truth, when you know?
ياهل الكتب لم تلبسون الحق بالبطل وتكتمون الحق وانتم تعلمونAnd a group among the people of the Scripture said: "Believe in what has been revealed to those who have believed, at the start of the day, and disown it at its end, perhaps they will turn back [from their faith]."
وقالت طايفة من اهل الكتب ءامنوا بالذي انزل على الذين ءامنوا وجه النهار واكفروا ءاخره لعلهم يرجعون"And give credit only to him who follows your Law."
ولا تومنوا الا لمن تبع دينكمSay: "The [true] guidance is the guidance of God" — [they say this] lest anyone be given the like of what you were given, or lest they dispute with you before your Guardian.
قل ان الهدى هدى الله ان يوتى احد مثل ما اوتيتم او يحاجوكم عند ربكمSay: "Favor is in the hand of God,
قل ان الفضل بيد اللهHe gives it to whom He wills.
يوتيه من يشاءGod is Vast, All-Knowing."
والله وسع عليمHe reserves His benevolence for whom He wills.
يختص برحمته من يشاءGod holds the immense favor.
والله ذو الفضل العظيمAnd among the people of the Scripture, there are some who, if you entrust them with a treasure, will return it to you;
ومن اهل الكتب من ان تامنه بقنطار يوده اليكand there is one who, if you entrust him with a dinar, does not restore it to you unless you keep pressing him.
ومنهم من ان تامنه بدينار لا يوده اليك الا ما دمت عليه قايماThat is because they say: "We have, toward the people without a prior Scripture, no obligation",
ذلك بانهم قالوا ليس علينا في الامين سبيلand they say falsehood against God, while knowing.
ويقولون على الله الكذب وهم يعلمونBut yes, whoever keeps his engagement and guards himself — God loves those who guard themselves.
بلى من اوفى بعهده واتقى فان الله يحب المتقينThose who sell the engagement of God and their oaths for a small price — those are the ones who will have no share in the last life; God will not speak to them, will not look at them on the Day of Appearance, and will not purify them.
ان الذين يشترون بعهد الله وايمنهم ثمنا قليلا اوليك لا خلق لهم في الءاخرة ولا يكلمهم الله ولا ينظر اليهم يوم القيمة ولا يزكيهمThey will have a painful punishment.
ولهم عذاب اليمAnd among them, there is surely a group who twist their tongues [reciting] the Scripture, so that you might take it for an extract of the Scripture, when it is not part of it,
وان منهم لفريقا يلون السنتهم بالكتب لتحسبوه من الكتب وما هو من الكتبand they say: "This is from God",
ويقولون هو من عند اللهwhen it is not from God,
وما هو من عند اللهand they say falsehood against God, while knowing.
ويقولون على الله الكذب وهم يعلمونIt is not for any human to whom God has given the Scripture, the judgment, and the prophecy, to then say to people: "Be obedient to me, besides God"; but rather: "Be spiritual masters, by reason of what you teach of the Scripture and what you study."
ما كان لبشر ان يوتيه الله الكتب والحكم والنبوة ثم يقول للناس كونوا عبادا لي من دون الله ولكن كونوا ربنين بما كنتم تعلمون الكتب وبما كنتم تدرسونAnd he would not order you to take the Agents and the prophets as masters.
ولا يامركم ان تتخذوا المليكة والنبين ارباباWould he order you to disown, after you have become true to God alone?
ايامركم بالكفر بعد اذ انتم مسلمون- 3:81🖼
And remember when God took the solemn engagement of the prophets: "What I have given you of Scripture and wisdom, then a messenger comes to you, confirming what is with you, you must certainly believe in him, and certainly support him."
واذ اخذ الله ميثق النبين لما ءاتيتكم من كتب وحكمة ثم جاءكم رسول مصدق لما معكم لتومنن به ولتنصرنه He said: "Have you consented, and taken upon yourselves My burden on this condition?"
قال ءاقررتم واخذتم على ذلكم اصريThey said: "We have consented."
قالوا اقررناHe said: "Bear witness to it, then, and I am, with you, among the witnesses."
قال فاشهدوا وانا معكم من الشهدينWhoever turns away after that, those are the oversteppers.
فمن تولى بعد ذلك فاوليك هم الفسقونWould they seek then a Law other than God's, while whoever is in the heavens and the earth is true to Him alone, willingly or unwillingly,
افغير دين الله يبغون وله اسلم من في السموت والارض طوعا وكرهاand to Him they will be returned?
واليه يرجعونSay: "We believe in God, in what has been revealed to us, in what was revealed to Ibrahim, Isma'il, Ishaq, Yaacoub, and the tribes, and in what was given to Moussa, to Issa, and to the prophets, from their Guardian; we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we are true."
قل ءامنا بالله وما انزل علينا وما انزل على ابرهيم واسمعيل واسحق ويعقوب والاسباط وما اوتي موسى وعيسى والنبيون من ربهم لا نفرق بين احد منهم ونحن له مسلمونAnd whoever seeks a Law other than being true to God alone, it will never be accepted from him,
ومن يبتغ غير الاسلم دينا فلن يقبل منهand he will be, in the last life, among the losers.
وهو في الءاخرة من الخسرينHow would God guide a people who disowned after having believed, and after having testified that the messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them?
كيف يهدي الله قوما كفروا بعد ايمنهم وشهدوا ان الرسول حق وجاءهم البينتGod does not guide the wrongdoing people.
والله لا يهدي القوم الظلمينThose are the ones whose recompense is that upon them will weigh the curse of God, the Agents, and mankind, all together, wherein they will abide eternally; the punishment will not be lightened for them, and they will not be granted a delay — except those who turn back [to God] after that, and reform: God is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
اوليك جزاوهم ان عليهم لعنة الله والمليكة والناس اجمعين خلدين فيها لا يخفف عنهم العذاب ولا هم ينظرون الا الذين تابوا من بعد ذلك واصلحوا فان الله غفور رحيمThose who disown after having believed, then increase in disowning, their repentance will never be accepted,
ان الذين كفروا بعد ايمنهم ثم ازدادوا كفرا لن تقبل توبتهمand those are the astray.
واوليك هم الضالونThose who disown and die while disowning, there will never be accepted from any of them the whole earth filled with gold, even were he to offer it as ransom.
ان الذين كفروا وماتوا وهم كفار فلن يقبل من احدهم ملء الارض ذهبا ولو افتدى بهThose are the ones who will have a painful punishment,
اوليك لهم عذاب اليمand they will have no helpers.
وما لهم من نصرينYou will not attain virtue unless you spend of what you love.
لن تنالوا البر حتى تنفقوا مما تحبونAnd whatever you spend, God knows it perfectly.
وما تنفقوا من شىء فان الله به عليمAll food was lawful for the Sons of Israel, except what Israel had forbidden itself, before the Tawrah was sent down.
كل الطعام كان حلا لبني اسرءيل الا ما حرم اسرءيل على نفسه من قبل ان تنزل التورىةSay: "Bring, then, the Tawrah, and recite it, if you are truthful."
قل فاتوا بالتورىة فاتلوها ان كنتم صدقينWhoever, after that, invents the lie against God — those are the wrongdoers.
فمن افترى على الله الكذب من بعد ذلك فاوليك هم الظلمونSay: "God has spoken the truth.
قل صدق اللهFollow, then, the doctrine of Ibrahim, wholly turned toward God,
فاتبعوا ملة ابرهيم حنيفاand he was not among those who associate."
وما كان من المشركينThe first House established for mankind is surely that at the place of the throng, blessed and a guidance for all beings; in it are clear signs.
ان اول بيت وضع للناس للذي ببكة مباركا وهدى للعلمين فيه ءايت بينتThe station of Ibrahim,
مقام ابرهيمand whoever enters it is secure.
ومن دخله كان ءامناAnd the Hajj of the House is a duty toward God for mankind, for whoever has the capacity for it by a [practicable] way;
ولله على الناس حج البيت من استطاع اليه سبيلاand whoever disowns — God is self-sufficient, independent of all beings.
ومن كفر فان الله غني عن العلمينSay: "O people of the Scripture! why do you disown the signs of God, when God is witness to what you do?"
قل ياهل الكتب لم تكفرون بايت الله والله شهيد على ما تعملونSay: "O people of the Scripture! why do you turn away from the path of God him who has believed, seeking to make it crooked, while you are witnesses to it?"
قل ياهل الكتب لم تصدون عن سبيل الله من ءامن تبغونها عوجا وانتم شهداءGod is not heedless of what you do.
وما الله بغفل عما تعملونO you who have believed! if you obey a group among those to whom the Scripture was given, they will turn you back, after your faith, to disowning.
يايها الذين ءامنوا ان تطيعوا فريقا من الذين اوتوا الكتب يردوكم بعد ايمنكم كفرينAnd how would you disown, when the signs of God are recited to you, and His messenger is among you?
وكيف تكفرون وانتم تتلى عليكم ءايت الله وفيكم رسولهAnd whoever holds firmly to God is already guided to a straight path.
ومن يعتصم بالله فقد هدي الى صرط مستقيمO you who have believed! guard yourselves toward God as one should guard oneself toward Him,
يايها الذين ءامنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاتهand do not die except being true to Him alone.
ولا تموتن الا وانتم مسلمونAnd hold, all of you, firmly, to the rope of God,
واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعاand do not divide yourselves.
ولا تفرقواAnd remember God's blessing upon you, when you were enemies, and He reconciled your cores, so that you became, by His blessing, brothers;
واذكروا نعمت الله عليكم اذ كنتم اعداء فالف بين قلوبكم فاصبحتم بنعمته اخوناand you were at the edge of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it.
وكنتم على شفا حفرة من النار فانقذكم منهاThus does God make His signs clear to you, perhaps you will be rightly guided.
كذلك يبين الله لكم ءايته لعلكم تهتدونAnd let there be from among you a community that calls to good, orders what is recognized, and forbids what is disavowed.
ولتكن منكم امة يدعون الى الخير ويامرون بالمعروف وينهون عن المنكرThose are the ones who succeed.
واوليك هم المفلحونAnd do not be like those who divided themselves and fell into disagreement after the clear proofs had come to them.
ولا تكونوا كالذين تفرقوا واختلفوا من بعد ما جاءهم البينتThose are the ones who will have an immense punishment, on the day when faces will brighten and faces will darken.
واوليك لهم عذاب عظيم يوم تبيض وجوه وتسود وجوهAs for those whose faces will have darkened: "Did you disown after your faith? Taste, then, the punishment, for having disowned."
فاما الذين اسودت وجوههم اكفرتم بعد ايمنكم فذوقوا العذاب بما كنتم تكفرونAnd as for those whose faces will have brightened, they will be in the benevolence of God,
واما الذين ابيضت وجوههم ففي رحمة اللهwherein they will abide eternally.
هم فيها خلدونThose are the signs of God, which We recite to you in truth.
تلك ءايت الله نتلوها عليك بالحقAnd God wants no injustice for all beings.
وما الله يريد ظلما للعلمينAnd to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth,
ولله ما في السموت وما في الارضand it is to God that all matters return.
والى الله ترجع الامورYou are the best community raised up for mankind: you order what is recognized, you forbid what is disavowed, and you believe in God.
كنتم خير امة اخرجت للناس تامرون بالمعروف وتنهون عن المنكر وتومنون باللهAnd had the people of the Scripture believed, it would have been better for them.
ولو ءامن اهل الكتب لكان خيرا لهمAmong them, there are believers,
منهم المومنونbut most of them are oversteppers.
واكثرهم الفسقونThey can never harm you,
لن يضروكمexcept by an annoyance.
الا اذىAnd if they fight you, they will turn their backs to you;
وان يقتلوكم يولوكم الادبارthen, they will not be helped.
ثم لا ينصرونHumiliation has been imprinted upon them, wherever they are found,
ضربت عليهم الذلة اين ما ثقفواexcept by a bond with God and a bond with mankind; they incur the anger of God,
الا بحبل من الله وحبل من الناس وباءو بغضب من اللهand misery has been imprinted upon them.
وضربت عليهم المسكنةThat is because they used to disown the signs of God, and kill the prophets without right.
ذلك بانهم كانوا يكفرون بايت الله ويقتلون الانبياء بغير حقIt is for having disobeyed and crossed the limits.
ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدونThey are not all equal:
ليسوا سواءamong the people of the Scripture, there is an upright community, which recites the signs of God in the hours of the night, prostrating.
من اهل الكتب امة قايمة يتلون ءايت الله ءاناء اليل وهم يسجدونThey believe in God and the Last Day, order what is recognized, forbid what is disavowed, and race ahead of others in good deeds.
يومنون بالله واليوم الءاخر ويامرون بالمعروف وينهون عن المنكر ويسرعون في الخيرتThose are the ones among the righteous.
واوليك من الصلحينAnd whatever good they do, it will never be disowned them.
وما يفعلوا من خير فلن يكفروهGod is All-Knowing of those who guard themselves.
والله عليم بالمتقينIndeed, those who disown, neither their goods nor their children will avail them at all against God,
ان الذين كفروا لن تغني عنهم امولهم ولا اولدهم من الله شياand those are the companions of the Fire, they abide therein eternally.
واوليك اصحب النار هم فيها خلدونThe likeness of what they spend in the present life is that of an icy wind, which strikes the crop of a people who have wronged themselves, and annihilates it.
مثل ما ينفقون في هذه الحيوة الدنيا كمثل ريح فيها صر اصابت حرث قوم ظلموا انفسهم فاهلكتهAnd God did not wrong them,
وما ظلمهم اللهbut it was themselves that they wronged.
ولكن انفسهم يظلمونO you who have believed! do not take close confidants apart from your own: they never cease to cause you trouble, and would like you to be afflicted.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تتخذوا بطانة من دونكم لا يالونكم خبالا ودوا ما عنتمHatred has already become manifest in their mouths, and what their chests conceal is far graver still.
قد بدت البغضاء من افوههم وما تخفي صدورهم اكبرWe have already made the signs clear to you, if you reason.
قد بينا لكم الءايت ان كنتم تعقلونHere you are, you who love them, while they do not love you, and you believe in the whole of the Scripture.
هانتم اولاء تحبونهم ولا يحبونكم وتومنون بالكتب كلهAnd when they meet you, they say: "We have believed";
واذا لقوكم قالوا ءامناbut when they are alone, they bite their fingertips, out of rage against you.
واذا خلوا عضوا عليكم الانامل من الغيظSay: "Die in your rage."
قل موتوا بغيظكمGod is indeed All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
ان الله عليم بذات الصدورIf good touches you, it grieves them,
ان تمسسكم حسنة تسوهمand if evil befalls you, they rejoice at it.
وان تصبكم سيية يفرحوا بهاBut if you are patient and guard yourselves, their scheming will not harm you at all.
وان تصبروا وتتقوا لا يضركم كيدهم شياGod encompasses perfectly what they do.
ان الله بما يعملون محيطAnd remember when you left your household early, to assign the believers positions for battle.
واذ غدوت من اهلك تبوي المومنين مقعد للقتالGod is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
والله سميع عليمWhen two of your groups almost weakened, God being the protector of both —
اذ همت طايفتان منكم ان تفشلا والله وليهماand it is upon God that the believers should rely.
وعلى الله فليتوكل المومنونGod indeed helped you at Badr, when you were humble.
ولقد نصركم الله ببدر وانتم اذلةGuard yourselves, then, toward God, perhaps you will be grateful.
فاتقوا الله لعلكم تشكرونremember when you said to the believers: "Is it not enough for you that your Guardian reinforces you with three thousand Agents sent down [from the sky]?"
اذ تقول للمومنين الن يكفيكم ان يمدكم ربكم بثلثة ءالف من المليكة منزلينBut yes: if you are patient and guard yourselves, and they swoop down upon you, right then, your Guardian will reinforce you with five thousand distinctly marked Agents.
بلى ان تصبروا وتتقوا وياتوكم من فورهم هذا يمددكم ربكم بخمسة ءالف من المليكة مسومينAnd God made it only a good tiding for you, and so that your cores might find ease in it.
وما جعله الله الا بشرى لكم ولتطمين قلوبكم بهBut victory comes only from God, the All-Powerful, the Wise, so that He may cut off a part of those who disown, or lay them low, and they depart disappointed. You have, in this matter, no power: either He turns toward them with clemency, or He punishes them, for they are wrongdoers.
وما النصر الا من عند الله العزيز الحكيم ليقطع طرفا من الذين كفروا او يكبتهم فينقلبوا خايبين ليس لك من الامر شىء او يتوب عليهم او يعذبهم فانهم ظلمونAnd to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
ولله ما في السموت وما في الارضHe forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills.
يغفر لمن يشاء ويعذب من يشاءGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
والله غفور رحيمO you who have believed! do not devour usury, doubled and redoubled.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تاكلوا الربوا اضعفا مضعفةAnd guard yourselves toward God, perhaps you will succeed.
واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحونAnd guard yourselves against the Fire, prepared for those who disown.
واتقوا النار التي اعدت للكفرينAnd obey God and the messenger, perhaps benevolence will be shown to you.
واطيعوا الله والرسول لعلكم ترحمونAnd race toward a forgiveness from your Guardian, and a Garden whose extent is that of the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who guard themselves, who spend in ease and hardship, restrain their rage, and efface [the faults] of people.
وسارعوا الى مغفرة من ربكم وجنة عرضها السموت والارض اعدت للمتقين الذين ينفقون في السراء والضراء والكظمين الغيظ والعافين عن الناسGod loves those who do good.
والله يحب المحسنينAnd those who, when they commit an indecency or wrong themselves, remember God and ask forgiveness for their offenses —
والذين اذا فعلوا فحشة او ظلموا انفسهم ذكروا الله فاستغفروا لذنوبهمand who forgives offenses, but God? —
ومن يغفر الذنوب الا اللهand who do not persist in what they did, while knowing.
ولم يصروا على ما فعلوا وهم يعلمونThose are the ones whose recompense is a forgiveness from their Guardian, and gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally.
اوليك جزاوهم مغفرة من ربهم وجنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيهاHow excellent is the reward of those who act [thus]!
ونعم اجر العملينWays [similar] have indeed passed before you;
قد خلت من قبلكم سننso travel through the land, and look how the end of those who denied was.
فسيروا في الارض فانظروا كيف كان عقبة المكذبينThis is a clear exposition for mankind, a guidance and an admonition for those who guard themselves.
هذا بيان للناس وهدى وموعظة للمتقينAnd do not weaken, and do not grieve: you are the most exalted, if you are believers.
ولا تهنوا ولا تحزنوا وانتم الاعلون ان كنتم مومنينIf a wound touches you, a similar wound has already touched that [other] people.
ان يمسسكم قرح فقد مس القوم قرح مثلهThus do the days go: We make them alternate among mankind,
وتلك الايام نداولها بين الناسso that God may know those who have believed, and take from among you witnesses —
وليعلم الله الذين ءامنوا ويتخذ منكم شهداءGod does not love the wrongdoers —
والله لا يحب الظلمينand so that God may purify those who have believed, and destroy those who disown.
وليمحص الله الذين ءامنوا ويمحق الكفرينOr did you think you would enter the Garden without God yet knowing those among you who have striven, and knowing the patient?
ام حسبتم ان تدخلوا الجنة ولما يعلم الله الذين جهدوا منكم ويعلم الصبرينYou indeed desired death before meeting it; you have now seen it, and you were looking on.
ولقد كنتم تمنون الموت من قبل ان تلقوه فقد رايتموه وانتم تنظرونMuhammad is only a messenger; messengers have indeed passed before him.
وما محمد الا رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسلIf he then died, or was killed, would you turn back on your heels?
افاين مات او قتل انقلبتم على اعقبكمAnd whoever turns back on his heels does not harm God at all,
ومن ينقلب على عقبيه فلن يضر الله شياand God will recompense the grateful.
وسيجزي الله الشكرينAnd it is not for any Self to die, except with the permission of God,
وما كان لنفس ان تموت الا باذن اللهaccording to a register with an appointed term.
كتبا موجلاAnd whoever wants the requital of the present life, We give it to him;
ومن يرد ثواب الدنيا نوته منهاand whoever wants the requital of the last life, We give it to him.
ومن يرد ثواب الءاخرة نوته منهاWe will recompense the grateful.
وسنجزي الشكرينHow many a prophet has fought, accompanied by many attached to the Guardian!
وكاين من نبي قتل معه ربيون كثيرThey did not weaken for what befell them in the way of God, did not grow feeble, and did not submit [to the enemy].
فما وهنوا لما اصابهم في سبيل الله وما ضعفوا وما استكانواGod loves the patient.
والله يحب الصبرينAnd their only word was to say: "Our Guardian, forgive us our offenses and our excesses in our conduct, make firm our steps, and help us against the people who disown."
وما كان قولهم الا ان قالوا ربنا اغفر لنا ذنوبنا واسرافنا في امرنا وثبت اقدامنا وانصرنا على القوم الكفرينGod then gave them the requital of the present life, and the beautiful requital of the last life.
فاتىهم الله ثواب الدنيا وحسن ثواب الءاخرةGod loves those who do good.
والله يحب المحسنينO you who have believed! if you obey those who disown, they will make you turn back on your heels, and you will find yourselves losers.
يايها الذين ءامنوا ان تطيعوا الذين كفروا يردوكم على اعقبكم فتنقلبوا خسرينGod, rather, is your nearest Guarantor,
بل الله مولىكمand He is the best of helpers.
وهو خير النصرينWe will cast terror into the cores of those who disown, for having associated with God that for which He has sent down no authority.
سنلقي في قلوب الذين كفروا الرعب بما اشركوا بالله ما لم ينزل به سلطناTheir refuge will be the Fire,
وماوىهم النارand what an evil abode for the wrongdoers!
وبيس مثوى الظلمينGod indeed kept His promise to you, when you were routing them with His permission,
ولقد صدقكم الله وعده اذ تحسونهم باذنهuntil, having weakened, you disagreed about the matter, and disobeyed, after He had shown you what you loved.
حتى اذا فشلتم وتنزعتم في الامر وعصيتم من بعد ما ارىكم ما تحبونAmong you, there were some who wanted the present life, and among you, there were some who wanted the last life;
منكم من يريد الدنيا ومنكم من يريد الءاخرةthen He turned you away from them, so as to test you.
ثم صرفكم عنهم ليبتليكمHe has indeed already effaced [the fault] for you.
ولقد عفا عنكمGod holds a favor toward the believers.
والله ذو فضل على المومنينremember when you were climbing [the hill], without turning back to anyone, while the messenger was calling you, at the rear of your ranks; He then rewarded you with anguish upon [another] anguish, so that you would not grieve either for what had escaped you, or for what had befallen you.
اذ تصعدون ولا تلون على احد والرسول يدعوكم في اخرىكم فاثبكم غما بغم لكيلا تحزنوا على ما فاتكم ولا ما اصبكمGod is Informed of what you do.
والله خبير بما تعملونThen He sent down upon you, after the anguish, a tranquility, a drowsiness that enveloped a group among you,
ثم انزل عليكم من بعد الغم امنة نعاسا يغشى طايفة منكمwhile [another] group, preoccupied with its own Self, formed about God, contrary to the truth, a conjecture of the age of ignorance,
وطايفة قد اهمتهم انفسهم يظنون بالله غير الحق ظن الجهليةsaying: "Do we have, in this matter, any power?"
يقولون هل لنا من الامر من شىءSay: "The matter, entirely, belongs to God."
قل ان الامر كله للهThey hide, within themselves, what they do not show you,
يخفون في انفسهم ما لا يبدون لكsaying: "Had we had, in this matter, any power, we would not have been killed here."
يقولون لو كان لنا من الامر شىء ما قتلنا ههناSay: "Had you stayed in your houses, those for whom killing was decreed would certainly have gone forth to their places of falling" — and so that God might test what is in your chests, and purify what is in your cores.
قل لو كنتم في بيوتكم لبرز الذين كتب عليهم القتل الى مضاجعهم وليبتلي الله ما في صدوركم وليمحص ما في قلوبكمAnd God is All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
والله عليم بذات الصدورThose among you who turned their backs, on the day the two forces met, it was only the Diverter who made them stumble, for a part of what they had earned.
ان الذين تولوا منكم يوم التقى الجمعان انما استزلهم الشيطن ببعض ما كسبواGod has indeed already effaced [the fault] for them.
ولقد عفا الله عنهمGod is indeed Most-Forgiving, full of patience.
ان الله غفور حليمO you who have believed! do not be like those who disowned, and who say of their brothers, when they travel through the land or go off on an expedition: "Had they stayed with us, they would not have died, and would not have been killed" — so that God may make of it a bitter regret in their cores.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تكونوا كالذين كفروا وقالوا لاخونهم اذا ضربوا في الارض او كانوا غزى لو كانوا عندنا ما ماتوا وما قتلوا ليجعل الله ذلك حسرة في قلوبهمGod gives life and causes death.
والله يحي ويميتGod sees perfectly what you do.
والله بما تعملون بصيرAnd if you are killed in the way of God, or if you die, a forgiveness from God and a benevolence are indeed better than what they amass.
ولين قتلتم في سبيل الله او متم لمغفرة من الله ورحمة خير مما يجمعونAnd whether you die, or are killed, it is to God that you will be gathered.
ولين متم او قتلتم لالى الله تحشرونIt is by a benevolence from God that you have been gentle toward them;
فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهمand had you been harsh, hard of core, they would certainly have scattered away from you.
ولو كنت فظا غليظ القلب لانفضوا من حولكSo efface [their fault], ask forgiveness for them, and consult them on the matter;
فاعف عنهم واستغفر لهم وشاورهم في الامرand once your decision is made, rely upon God.
فاذا عزمت فتوكل على اللهGod loves those who rely [upon Him].
ان الله يحب المتوكلينIf God helps you, none can overcome you;
ان ينصركم الله فلا غالب لكمand if He abandons you, who then could help you after Him?
وان يخذلكم فمن ذا الذي ينصركم من بعدهAnd it is upon God that the believers should rely.
وعلى الله فليتوكل المومنونIt is not for a prophet to commit an embezzlement;
وما كان لنبي ان يغلand whoever commits an embezzlement will come, on the Day of Appearance, with what he embezzled,
ومن يغلل يات بما غل يوم القيمةthen every Self will be fully repaid for what it has earned, without being wronged.
ثم توفى كل نفس ما كسبت وهم لا يظلمونIs he who follows the good pleasure of God, then, like him who incurs the anger of God, and whose refuge will be Jahannam?
افمن اتبع رضون الله كمن باء بسخط من الله وماوىه جهنمAnd what an evil destination!
وبيس المصيرThey have degrees with God.
هم درجت عند اللهGod sees perfectly what they do.
والله بصير بما يعملونGod has indeed blessed the believers, by raising up among them a messenger, from among themselves, who recites His signs to them, purifies them, and teaches them the Scripture and the wisdom, though before they were in manifest error.
لقد من الله على المومنين اذ بعث فيهم رسولا من انفسهم يتلوا عليهم ءايته ويزكيهم ويعلمهم الكتب والحكمة وان كانوا من قبل لفي ضلل مبينHow then, when misfortune strikes you, after you had inflicted double that, do you say: "From where, then, does this come?"
اولما اصبتكم مصيبة قد اصبتم مثليها قلتم انى هذاSay: "This comes from yourselves."
قل هو من عند انفسكمGod is indeed capable of all things.
ان الله على كل شىء قديرAnd what befell you, on the day the two forces met, was with God's permission, and so that He might know the believers, and know those who practiced hypocrisy,
وما اصبكم يوم التقى الجمعان فباذن الله وليعلم المومنين وليعلم الذين نافقواand so that it might be said to them: "Come, fight in the way of God, or repel [the enemy]";
وقيل لهم تعالوا قتلوا في سبيل الله او ادفعواthey said: "If we knew how to fight, we would certainly have followed you."
قالوا لو نعلم قتالا لاتبعنكمThat day, they were closer to disowning than to faith,
هم للكفر يوميذ اقرب منهم للايمنsaying with their mouths what was not in their cores.
يقولون بافوههم ما ليس في قلوبهمGod knows best what they hide.
والله اعلم بما يكتمونThose who, having stayed seated, said of their brothers: "Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed."
الذين قالوا لاخونهم وقعدوا لو اطاعونا ما قتلواSay: "Ward off death from yourselves, then, if you are truthful."
قل فادرءوا عن انفسكم الموت ان كنتم صدقينAnd never think that those who have been killed in the way of God are dead.
ولا تحسبن الذين قتلوا في سبيل الله اموتاNo, they are alive, with their Guardian, provided [with blessings], rejoicing in what God has given them of His favor, and rejoicing for those who, remaining behind them, have not yet joined them: no fear upon them, and they will not grieve.
بل احياء عند ربهم يرزقون فرحين بما ءاتىهم الله من فضله ويستبشرون بالذين لم يلحقوا بهم من خلفهم الا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنونThey rejoice in a blessing from God and a favor, and [in the fact] that God does not let the reward of the believers be lost, those who responded to God and to the messenger after the wound had struck them.
يستبشرون بنعمة من الله وفضل وان الله لا يضيع اجر المومنين الذين استجابوا لله والرسول من بعد ما اصابهم القرحTo those among them who did good and guarded themselves belongs an immense reward.
للذين احسنوا منهم واتقوا اجر عظيمThose to whom the people said: "The people have gathered against you, so fear them" — that increased their faith.
الذين قال لهم الناس ان الناس قد جمعوا لكم فاخشوهم فزادهم ايمناAnd they said: "God suffices us; what an excellent trustee!"
وقالوا حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيلThey returned then with a blessing from God and a favor, without any evil having touched them, and they followed the good pleasure of God.
فانقلبوا بنعمة من الله وفضل لم يمسسهم سوء واتبعوا رضون اللهGod holds an immense favor.
والله ذو فضل عظيمIt is only that Diverter who frightens his allies; do not fear them, then,
انما ذلكم الشيطن يخوف اولياءه فلا تخافوهمbut fear Me, if you are believers.
وخافون ان كنتم مومنينAnd let not those grieve you who hasten into disowning:
ولا يحزنك الذين يسرعون في الكفرthey will indeed not harm God at all.
انهم لن يضروا الله شياGod wants to give them no share in the last life,
يريد الله الا يجعل لهم حظا في الءاخرةand they will have an immense punishment.
ولهم عذاب عظيمThose who buy disowning at the price of faith will not harm God at all, and they will have a painful punishment.
ان الذين اشتروا الكفر بالايمن لن يضروا الله شيا ولهم عذاب اليمAnd let not those who disown by any means think that the delay We grant them is a good for themselves:
ولا يحسبن الذين كفروا انما نملي لهم خير لانفسهمWe grant it to them only so that they may increase in transgression,
انما نملي لهم ليزدادوا اثماand they will have a humiliating punishment.
ولهم عذاب مهينIt is not for God to leave the believers in the state you are in, without distinguishing the vile from the good,
ما كان الله ليذر المومنين على ما انتم عليه حتى يميز الخبيث من الطيبand it is not in God's nature to unveil to you what escapes the senses,
وما كان الله ليطلعكم على الغيبbut God chooses, among His messengers, whom He wills.
ولكن الله يجتبي من رسله من يشاءSo believe in God and in His messengers;
فامنوا بالله ورسلهand if you believe and guard yourselves, you will have an immense reward.
وان تومنوا وتتقوا فلكم اجر عظيمAnd let not those who are stingy with what God has given them of His favor by any means think that it is a good for them;
ولا يحسبن الذين يبخلون بما ءاتىهم الله من فضله هو خيرا لهمit is rather an evil for them.
بل هو شر لهمThey will be encircled by what they were stingy with, on the Day of Appearance.
سيطوقون ما بخلوا به يوم القيمةAnd to God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth.
ولله ميرث السموت والارضGod is Informed of what you do.
والله بما تعملون خبيرGod has indeed heard the saying of those who said: "God is poor, and we are rich."
لقد سمع الله قول الذين قالوا ان الله فقير ونحن اغنياءWe will record what they said, and their killing of the prophets without right, and We will say: "Taste the punishment of the burning blaze.
سنكتب ما قالوا وقتلهم الانبياء بغير حق ونقول ذوقوا عذاب الحريقThat is for what your hands have prepared"; and God is not at all unjust toward the constrained [under compulsion].
ذلك بما قدمت ايديكم وان الله ليس بظلام للعبيدThose who said: "God has bound us not to give credit to any messenger, until he brings us an offering that the fire consumes",
الذين قالوا ان الله عهد الينا الا نومن لرسول حتى ياتينا بقربان تاكله النارsay: "Messengers before me indeed came to you with clear proofs, and with what you said; why then did you kill them, if you are truthful?"
قل قد جاءكم رسل من قبلي بالبينت وبالذي قلتم فلم قتلتموهم ان كنتم صدقينIf they deny you, messengers have already been denied before you, who had come with clear proofs, the Formularies, and the luminous Scripture.
فان كذبوك فقد كذب رسل من قبلك جاءو بالبينت والزبر والكتب المنيرEvery Self will taste death,
كل نفس ذايقة الموتand it is only on the Day of Appearance that you will be fully repaid your rewards.
وانما توفون اجوركم يوم القيمةWhoever is drawn away from the Fire and admitted into the Garden has thus triumphed.
فمن زحزح عن النار وادخل الجنة فقد فازAnd the present life is nothing but a deceptive enjoyment.
وما الحيوة الدنيا الا متع الغرورYou will certainly be tested in your goods and in your Selves, and you will certainly hear, from those to whom the Scripture was given before you, and from those who have associated, much harm.
لتبلون في امولكم وانفسكم ولتسمعن من الذين اوتوا الكتب من قبلكم ومن الذين اشركوا اذى كثيراBut if you are patient and guard yourselves, that is part of the firmness of resolutions.
وان تصبروا وتتقوا فان ذلك من عزم الامورAnd remember when God took the solemn engagement of those to whom the Scripture was given: "You will certainly make it clear to mankind, and you will not hide it"; but they cast it behind their backs, and sold it for a small price.
واذ اخذ الله ميثق الذين اوتوا الكتب لتبيننه للناس ولا تكتمونه فنبذوه وراء ظهورهم واشتروا به ثمنا قليلاHow evil is what they buy!
فبيس ما يشترونDo not by any means think that those who rejoice in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they did not do — do not by any means think that they will escape the punishment.
لا تحسبن الذين يفرحون بما اتوا ويحبون ان يحمدوا بما لم يفعلوا فلا تحسبنهم بمفازة من العذابThey will have a painful punishment.
ولهم عذاب اليمAnd to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth.
ولله ملك السموت والارضGod is capable of all things.
والله على كل شىء قديرThere are surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, signs for the possessors of intelligence, those who remember God, standing, sitting, or lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth:
ان في خلق السموت والارض واختلف اليل والنهار لءايت لاولي الالبب الذين يذكرون الله قيما وقعودا وعلى جنوبهم ويتفكرون في خلق السموت والارض"Our Guardian, You did not create this in vain. Glory be to You!
ربنا ما خلقت هذا بطلا سبحنكPreserve us, then, from the punishment of the Fire.
فقنا عذاب النارOur Guardian, whoever You admit into the Fire, You have indeed covered him with disgrace,
ربنا انك من تدخل النار فقد اخزيتهand the wrongdoers have no helpers.
وما للظلمين من انصارOur Guardian, we have heard a herald calling to faith: Believe in your Guardian — and we have believed.
ربنا اننا سمعنا مناديا ينادي للايمن ان ءامنوا بربكم فامناOur Guardian, forgive us, then, our offenses, cover for us our evil deeds, and take us back to You with the virtuous.
ربنا فاغفر لنا ذنوبنا وكفر عنا سياتنا وتوفنا مع الابرارOur Guardian, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers, and do not cover us with disgrace on the Day of Appearance:
ربنا وءاتنا ما وعدتنا على رسلك ولا تخزنا يوم القيمةYou never fail Your promise."
انك لا تخلف الميعادTheir Guardian answered them, then: "I never let the deed of one of you who acts be lost, male or female —
فاستجاب لهم ربهم اني لا اضيع عمل عمل منكم من ذكر او انثىyou are of one another.
بعضكم من بعضThose who have emigrated, been expelled from their dwellings, been persecuted on My way, fought, and been killed, I will certainly cover their evil deeds, and I will certainly admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow" — a requital from God.
فالذين هاجروا واخرجوا من ديرهم واوذوا في سبيلي وقتلوا وقتلوا لاكفرن عنهم سياتهم ولادخلنهم جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر ثوابا من عند اللهAnd it is with God that the best requital is found.
والله عنده حسن الثوابLet not the free movement of those who disown through the land deceive you.
لا يغرنك تقلب الذين كفروا في البلدIt is an enjoyment of little worth,
متع قليلthen their refuge will be Jahannam,
ثم ماوىهم جهنمand what an evil bed!
وبيس المهادBut those who have guarded themselves toward their Guardian will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, as a welcome from God.
لكن الذين اتقوا ربهم لهم جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيها نزلا من عند اللهAnd what is with God is better for the virtuous.
وما عند الله خير للابرارAnd among the people of the Scripture, there are surely some who believe in God, in what has been revealed to you, and in what was revealed to them, humble toward God,
وان من اهل الكتب لمن يومن بالله وما انزل اليكم وما انزل اليهم خشعين للهnot selling the signs of God for a small price.
لا يشترون بايت الله ثمنا قليلاThose are the ones whose reward is found with their Guardian.
اوليك لهم اجرهم عند ربهمGod is indeed swift in reckoning.
ان الله سريع الحسابO you who have believed! be patient, surpass [others] in patience, stand ready with firmness, and guard yourselves toward God, perhaps you will succeed.
يايها الذين ءامنوا اصبروا وصابروا ورابطوا واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون
