Sourate Al-Hashr (59) with hamza shown

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. All that is in the heavens and on the earth glorifies God.i 1

بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم سبح لله ما في ٱلسموت وما في ٱلأرض

He is the All-Powerful, the Wise.i 1

وهو ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيم

It is He who expelled from their homes those who, among the People of the Scripture, deny the truth, in the first gathering.i 2

هو ٱلذي أخرج ٱلذين كفروا من أهل ٱلكتب من ديرهم لأول ٱلحشر

You did not think they would leave. 2

ما ظننتم أن يخرجوا

And they thought their strongholds would protect them from God. 2

وظنوا أنهم مانعتهم حصونهم من ٱلله

But God came upon them from where they did not expect. 2

فأتىهم ٱلله من حيث لم يحتسبوا

And He cast terror into their Cores. 2

وقذف في قلوبهم ٱلرعب

They destroyed their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. 2

يخربون بيوتهم بأيديهم وأيدي ٱلمؤمنين

So take heed, you who have insight. 2

فٱعتبروا يأولي ٱلأبصر

And had God not decreed exile for them, He would have punished them in the present life. 3

ولولآ أن كتب ٱلله عليهم ٱلجلآء لعذبهم في ٱلدنيا

And theirs, in the hereafter, is the punishment of the Fire. 3

ولهم في ٱلءاخرة عذاب ٱلنار

That is because they set themselves in breach against God and His messenger. 4

ذلك بأنهم شآقوا ٱلله ورسوله

And whoever sets himself in breach against God — God is severe in retribution. 4

ومن يشآق ٱلله فإن ٱلله شديد ٱلعقاب

Whatever act of kindness you withheld from them, or kept firmly maintained, it is by God's leave, and so as to disgrace the oversteppers.i 5

ما قطعتم من لينة أو تركتموها قآئمة على أصولها فبإذن ٱلله وليخزي ٱلفسقين

And whatever God restored to His messenger from them, you spurred neither horse nor mount for it. 6

ومآ أفآء ٱلله على رسوله منهم فمآ أوجفتم عليه من خيل ولا ركاب

But God gives His messengers power over whom He wills. 6

ولكن ٱلله يسلط رسله على من يشآء

And God has power over all things. 6

وٱلله على كل شىء قدير

Whatever God restored to His messenger from the people of the towns belongs to God and the messenger, to kin, orphans, the destitute, and the stranded traveler, so that it does not circulate only among the wealthy among you.i 7

مآ أفآء ٱلله على رسوله من أهل ٱلقرى فلله وللرسول ولذي ٱلقربى وٱليتمى وٱلمسكين وٱبن ٱلسبيل كى لا يكون دولة بين ٱلأغنيآء منكم

And whatever the messenger gives you, take it. 7

ومآ ءاتىكم ٱلرسول فخذوه

And whatever he forbids you, abstain from it. 7

وما نهىكم عنه فٱنتهوا

And guard yourselves before God; God is severe in retribution.i 7

وٱتقوا ٱلله إن ٱلله شديد ٱلعقاب

This is for the poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes and possessions, seeking favor from God and His pleasure, and who support God and His messenger. 8

للفقرآء ٱلمهجرين ٱلذين أخرجوا من ديرهم وأمولهم يبتغون فضلا من ٱلله ورضونا وينصرون ٱلله ورسوله

Those are the truthful. 8

أولئك هم ٱلصدقون

And those who had settled in the abode and in faith before them love those who emigrate to them, and find in their chests no need for what they were given, and prefer them over themselves, even if they too are in need. 9

وٱلذين تبوءو ٱلدار وٱلإيمن من قبلهم يحبون من هاجر إليهم ولا يجدون في صدورهم حاجة ممآ أوتوا ويؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة

And whoever is shielded from the greed of his Self — those are the ones who succeed. 9

ومن يوق شح نفسه فأولئك هم ٱلمفلحون

And those who came after them say: Our Guardian, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and put no rancor in our Cores toward those who believe. 10

وٱلذين جآءو من بعدهم يقولون ربنا ٱغفر لنا ولإخوننا ٱلذين سبقونا بٱلإيمن ولا تجعل في قلوبنا غلا للذين ءامنوا

Our Guardian, You are Gentle, benevolent. 10

ربنآ إنك رءوف رحيم

Have you not seen the hypocrites saying to their brothers who, among the People of the Scripture, deny the truth: If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and we will never obey anyone against you; and if you are fought, we will surely help you.i 11

ألم تر إلى ٱلذين نافقوا يقولون لإخونهم ٱلذين كفروا من أهل ٱلكتب لئن أخرجتم لنخرجن معكم ولا نطيع فيكم أحدا أبدا وإن قوتلتم لننصرنكم

And God bears witness that they are indeed liars. 11

وٱلله يشهد إنهم لكذبون

If they are expelled, they will not leave with them. 12

لئن أخرجوا لا يخرجون معهم

And if they are fought, they will not help them. 12

ولئن قوتلوا لا ينصرونهم

And even if they helped them, they would surely turn their backs, then not be helped. 12

ولئن نصروهم ليولن ٱلأدبر ثم لا ينصرون

You inspire, in their chests, more fear than God. 13

لأنتم أشد رهبة في صدورهم من ٱلله

That is because they are a people who do not understand. 13

ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يفقهون

They will not fight you all together except entrenched in fortified towns or behind walls. 14

لا يقتلونكم جميعا إلا في قرى محصنة أو من ورآء جدر

Their hostility among themselves is severe. 14

بأسهم بينهم شديد

You think them united, while their Cores are divided. 14

تحسبهم جميعا وقلوبهم شتى

That is because they are a people who do not reason. 14

ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يعقلون

They are like those shortly before them, 15

كمثل ٱلذين من قبلهم قريبا

who tasted the evil result of their choice. 15

ذاقوا وبال أمرهم

And theirs is a painful punishment. 15

ولهم عذاب أليم

They are like the Diverter when he says to the human being: Deny the truth! Then when he has denied it, he says: I disown you, I fear God, Guardian of all beings.i 16

كمثل ٱلشيطن إذ قال للإنسن ٱكفر فلما كفر قال إني بريء منك إني أخاف ٱلله رب ٱلعلمين

And the end of both was that they were in the Fire, abiding there forever. 17

فكان عقبتهمآ أنهما في ٱلنار خلدين فيها

Such is the reward of the wrongdoers. 17

وذلك جزؤا ٱلظلمين

O you who believe, guard yourselves before God, and let every Self consider what it has prepared for tomorrow.i 18

يأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا ٱتقوا ٱلله ولتنظر نفس ما قدمت لغد

And guard yourselves before God.i 18

وٱتقوا ٱلله

God is well informed of what you do. 18

إن ٱلله خبير بما تعملون

And do not be like those who forgot God, so He made them forget themselves. 19

ولا تكونوا كٱلذين نسوا ٱلله فأنسىهم أنفسهم

Those are the oversteppers.i 19

أولئك هم ٱلفسقون

The companions of the Fire and the companions of the Garden are not equal. 20

لا يستوي أصحب ٱلنار وأصحب ٱلجنة

The companions of the Garden are the triumphant. 20

أصحب ٱلجنة هم ٱلفآئزون

Had We sent down this Recitation upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled, split apart out of fear of God. 21

لو أنزلنا هذا ٱلقرءان على جبل لرأيته خشعا متصدعا من خشية ٱلله

These are the examples We multiply for the people, so that they may reflect. 21

وتلك ٱلأمثل نضربها للناس لعلهم يتفكرون

He is God, there is no god but Him. 22

هو ٱلله ٱلذي لآ إله إلا هو

Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is manifest.i 22

علم ٱلغيب وٱلشهدة

He is the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. 22

هو ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم

He is God, there is no god but Him, the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the Peace, the Guarantor, the Prevailing, the All-Powerful, the Overpowering, the Supremely Great.i 23

هو ٱلله ٱلذي لآ إله إلا هو ٱلملك ٱلقدوس ٱلسلم ٱلمؤمن ٱلمهيمن ٱلعزيز ٱلجبار ٱلمتكبر

Glory be to God, above what they associate with Him. 23

سبحن ٱلله عما يشركون

He is God, the Creator, the Originator, the Fashioner of forms. 24

هو ٱلله ٱلخلق ٱلبارئ ٱلمصور

To Him belong the most beautiful attributes. 24

له ٱلأسمآء ٱلحسنى

All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. 24

يسبح له ما في ٱلسموت وٱلأرض

He is the All-Powerful, the Wise.i 24

وهو ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيم
