Al-Imran

and He sent down, before, the Tawrah and the Injil, a guidance for mankind, and He sent down the Discernment.

واٮرل الٮورٮه والاٮحٮل مں ڡٮل هدى للٮاس واٮرل الڡرڡاں

Indeed, those who have disowned the signs of God will have a severe punishment.

اں الدٮں كڡروا ٮاٮٮ الله لهم عداٮ سدٮد

It is He who gives you form in the wombs as He wills.

هو الدى ٮصوركم ڡى الارحام كٮڡ ٮسا

There is no deity but Him,

لا اله الا هو

It is He who sent down upon you the Scripture;

هو الدى اٮرل علٮك الكٮٮ مٮه

in it are univocal signs, which are the matrix of the Scripture, and others, subject to resemblance.

اٮٮ محكمٮ هں ام الكٮٮ واحر مٮسٮهٮ

As 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;

ڡاما الدٮں ڡى ڡلوٮهم رٮع ڡٮٮٮعوں ما ٮسٮه مٮه اٮٮعا الڡٮٮه واٮٮعا ٮاوٮله

but none knows its interpretation, except God.

وما ٮعلم ٮاوٮله الا الله

And those who are deeply rooted in knowledge say: "We believe in it; all of it comes from our Guardian";

والرسحوں ڡى العلم ٮڡولوں امٮا ٮه كل مں عٮد رٮٮا

"Our Guardian, do not let our cores deviate after You have guided us, and bestow on us, from Yourself, a benevolence;

رٮٮا لا ٮرع ڡلوٮٮا ٮعد اد هدٮٮٮا وهٮ لٮا مں لدٮك رحمه

Our Guardian, You are the One who brings mankind together for a day about which there is no doubt.

رٮٮا اٮك حامع الٮاس لٮوم لا رٮٮ ڡٮه

And those are the ones who will fuel the Fire, in the image of the conduct of the clan of Fir'awn,

واولٮك هم وڡود الٮار كداٮ ال ڡرعوں

and of those before them, who denied Our signs; God then seized them for their offenses.

والدٮں مں ڡٮلهم كدٮوا ٮاٮٮٮا ڡاحدهم الله ٮدٮوٮهم

Say to those who disown: "You will be defeated, and gathered toward Jahannam."

ڡل للدٮں كڡروا سٮعلٮوں وٮحسروں الى حهٮم

You had a sign in those two battalions that met:

ڡد كاں لكم اٮه ڡى ڡٮٮٮں الٮڡٮا

one fought in the way of God, and the other disowned; you saw them, with the naked eye, twice what they were.

ڡٮه ٮڡٮل ڡى سٮٮل الله واحرى كاڡره ٮروٮهم مٮلٮهم راى العٮں

God fortifies, by His help, whom He wills.

والله ٮوٮد ٮٮصره مں ٮسا

The love of passions has been embellished for men: women, sons, heaped quintals of gold and silver, marked horses, cattle, and tilth.

رٮں للٮاس حٮ السهوٮ مں الٮسا والٮٮٮں والڡٮطٮر المڡٮطره مں الدهٮ والڡصه والحٮل المسومه والاٮعم والحرٮ

That is the enjoyment of the present life;

دلك مٮع الحٮوه الدٮٮا

Say: "Shall I inform you of something better than that?

ڡل اوٮٮٮكم ٮحٮر مں دلكم

For 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."

للدٮں اٮڡوا عٮد رٮهم حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها واروح مطهره ورصوں مں الله

God bears witness, and so do the Agents and the possessors of knowledge, that there is no deity but Him, maintaining equity.

سهد الله اٮه لا اله الا هو والملٮكه واولوا العلم ڡاٮما ٮالڡسط

There is no deity but Him,

لا اله الا هو

The Law, with God, is indeed being true to Him alone.

اں الدٮں عٮد الله الاسلم

And those to whom the Scripture was given diverged only after knowledge had come to them,

وما احٮلڡ الدٮں اوٮوا الكٮٮ الا مں ٮعد ما حاهم العلم

out of iniquity among themselves.

ٮعٮا ٮٮٮهم

If they dispute with you, say then: "I render my direction true to God alone, as do those who have followed me."

ڡاں حاحوك ڡڡل اسلمٮ وحهى لله ومں اٮٮعں

And say to those to whom the Scripture was given, and to the people without a prior Scripture: "Have you become true to God alone?"

وڡل للدٮں اوٮوا الكٮٮ والامٮں اسلمٮم

If they become so, they then let themselves be guided;

ڡاں اسلموا ڡڡد اهٮدوا

and if they turn their backs, only the transmission is incumbent upon you.

واں ٮولوا ڡاٮما علٮك الٮلع

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

اولٮك الدٮں حٮطٮ اعملهم ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

Say: "O God, Sovereign of dominion! You give dominion to whom You will, and You strip dominion from whom You will; You make mighty whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will; good is in Your hand.

ڡل اللهم ملك الملك ٮوٮى الملك مں ٮسا وٮٮرع الملك ممں ٮسا وٮعر مں ٮسا وٮدل مں ٮسا ٮٮدك الحٮر

Let not the believers take those who disown as allies, besides the believers;

لا ٮٮحد المومٮوں الكڡرٮں اولٮا مں دوں المومٮٮں

and whoever does that has nothing more to do with God — except if you guard yourselves from them as a precaution.

ومں ٮڡعل دلك ڡلٮس مں الله ڡى سى الا اں ٮٮڡوا مٮهم ٮڡٮه

And God warns you against Himself,

وٮحدركم الله ٮڡسه

Say: "Whether you hide what is in your chests, or make it appear, God knows it.

ڡل اں ٮحڡوا ما ڡى صدوركم او ٮٮدوه ٮعلمه الله

And He knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

وٮعلم ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص

The day when every Self will find present what it has done of good,

ٮوم ٮحد كل ٮڡس ما عملٮ مں حٮر محصرا

and what it has done of evil, it would wish there were between that and itself a distant span.

وما عملٮ مں سو ٮود لو اں ٮٮٮها وٮٮٮه امدا ٮعٮدا

And God warns you against Himself.

وٮحدركم الله ٮڡسه

Say: "If you love God, follow me: God will love you and forgive you your offenses.

ڡل اں كٮٮم ٮحٮوں الله ڡاٮٮعوٮى ٮحٮٮكم الله وٮعڡر لكم دٮوٮكم

Say: "Defer to God and the messenger";

ڡل اطٮعوا الله والرسول

God has chosen Adam, Nuh, the clan of Ibrahim, and the clan of Imran, above all beings, descendants one from another.

اں الله اصطڡى ادم وٮوحا وال اٮرهٮم وال عمرں على العلمٮں درٮه ٮعصها مں ٮعص

When the wife of Imran said: "My Guardian, I make a vow to You of what is in my belly, made independent of all; accept it, then, from me.

اد ڡالٮ امراٮ عمرں رٮ اٮى ٮدرٮ لك ما ڡى ٮطٮى محررا ڡٮڡٮل مٮى

Then, when she gave birth to her, she said: "My Guardian, I have indeed given birth to her, a girl" — God knew better, though, what she had given birth to —

ڡلما وصعٮها ڡالٮ رٮ اٮى وصعٮها اٮٮى والله اعلم ٮما وصعٮ

"and the male is not like the female;

ولٮس الدكر كالاٮٮى

I have given her the attribute Maryam,

واٮى سمٮٮها مرٮم

Her Guardian received her with a beautiful reception, and made her grow with a beautiful growth,

ڡٮڡٮلها رٮها ٮڡٮول حسں واٮٮٮها ٮٮاٮا حسٮا

and entrusted custody of her to Zakariya.

وكڡلها ركرٮا

Every time Zakariya entered upon her in the oratory, he found near her a provision.

كلما دحل علٮها ركرٮا المحراٮ وحد عٮدها ررڡا

He said: "O Maryam! From where does this come to you?"

ڡال ٮمرٮم اٮى لك هدا

She said: "It comes from God.

ڡالٮ هو مں عٮد الله

Right there, Zakariya invoked his Guardian.

هٮالك دعا ركرٮا رٮه

He said: "My Guardian, how shall I have a boy, when old age has already reached me, and my wife is barren?"

ڡال رٮ اٮى ٮكوں لى علم وڡد ٮلعٮى الكٮر وامراٮى عاڡر

He said: "Thus it is:

ڡال كدلك

He said: "My Guardian, appoint for me a sign."

ڡال رٮ احعل لى اٮه

He said: "Your sign will be that you will not speak to men except by gestures, for three days.

ڡال اٮٮك الا ٮكلم الٮاس ٮلٮه اٮام الا رمرا

That is part of the information about what escapes the senses, which We reveal to you.

دلك مں اٮٮا العٮٮ ٮوحٮه الٮك

and you were not with them when they quarreled. When the Agents said: "O Maryam! God announces to you a word from Himself,

وما كٮٮ لدٮهم اد ٮحٮصموں اد ڡالٮ الملٮكه ٮمرٮم اں الله ٮٮسرك ٮكلمه مٮه

And he will speak to men in the cradle and in his prime,

وٮكلم الٮاس ڡى المهد وكهلا

She said: "My Guardian, how shall I have a child, when no human has touched me?"

ڡالٮ رٮ اٮى ٮكوں لى ولد ولم ٮمسسٮى ٮسر

He said: "Thus it is:

ڡال كدلك

God creates what He wills.

الله ٮحلٯ ما ٮسا

When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: 'Be',

ادا ڡصى امرا ڡاٮما ٮڡول له كں

"And He will teach him the Code, wisdom, the Tawrah and the Injil, and a messenger to the Sons of Israel: I bring you a sign from your Guardian:

وٮعلمه الكٮٮ والحكمه والٮورٮه والاٮحٮل ورسولا الى ٮٮى اسرٮل اٮى ڡد حٮٮكم ٮاٮه مں رٮكم

I create for you, from clay, the form of a bird, then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird, with God's permission.

اٮى احلٯ لكم مں الطٮں كهٮه الطٮر ڡاٮڡح ڡٮه ڡٮكوں طٮرا ٮادں الله

And I restore the born-blind and the leper, and I bring the dead back to life, with God's permission.

واٮرى الاكمه والاٮرص واحى الموٮى ٮادں الله

And I inform you of what you eat and what you store up in your houses.

واٮٮٮكم ٮما ٮاكلوں وما ٮدحروں ڡى ٮٮوٮكم

And confirming what, of the Tawrah, precedes me, and to permit you a part of what was prohibited to you.

ومصدڡا لما ٮٮں ٮدى مں الٮورٮه ولاحل لكم ٮعص الدى حرم علٮكم

And I bring you a sign from your Guardian;

وحٮٮكم ٮاٮه مں رٮكم

God is indeed my Guardian and your Guardian; obey Him, then.

اں الله رٮى ورٮكم ڡاعٮدوه

When Issa perceived disowning from them, he said: "Who are my helpers toward God?"

ڡلما احس عٮسى مٮهم الكڡر ڡال مں اٮصارى الى الله

The disciples said: "We are the helpers of God.

ڡال الحوارٮوں ٮحں اٮصار الله

And they plotted, and God plotted,

ومكروا ومكر الله

When God said: "O Issa! I am indeed going to keep you faithfully, elevate you to Me, and purify you from those who disowned,

اد ڡال الله ٮعٮسى اٮى مٮوڡٮك وراڡعك الى ومطهرك مں الدٮں كڡروا

and place those who followed you above those who disowned, until the Day of Appearance.

وحاعل الدٮں اٮٮعوك ڡوٯ الدٮں كڡروا الى ٮوم الڡٮمه

As for those who disowned, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in the present life and in the last life,

ڡاما الدٮں كڡروا ڡاعدٮهم عداٮا سدٮدا ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

And as for those who have believed and done sound deeds, He will faithfully repay them their rewards.

واما الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ ڡٮوڡٮهم احورهم

The example of Issa, with God, is indeed like that of Adam:

اں مٮل عٮسى عٮد الله كمٮل ادم

He created him from earth, then said to him: "Be",

حلڡه مں ٮراٮ ٮم ڡال له كں

The truth comes from your Guardian;

الحٯ مں رٮك

This is surely the true account,

اں هدا لهو الڡصص الحٯ

and there is no deity but God.

وما مں اله الا الله

Say: "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."

ڡل ٮاهل الكٮٮ ٮعالوا الى كلمه سوا ٮٮٮٮا وٮٮٮكم الا ٮعٮد الا الله ولا ٮسرك ٮه سٮا ولا ٮٮحد ٮعصٮا ٮعصا ارٮاٮا مں دوں الله

O people of the Scripture! Why do you dispute concerning Ibrahim,

ٮاهل الكٮٮ لم ٮحاحوں ڡى اٮرهٮم

when the Tawrah and the Injil were sent down only after him?

وما اٮرلٮ الٮورٮه والاٮحٮل الا مں ٮعده

Here you are disputing about that of which you have some knowledge; but why do you dispute about that of which you have no knowledge?

هاٮٮم هولا حححٮم ڡٮما لكم ٮه علم ڡلم ٮحاحوں ڡٮما لٮس لكم ٮه علم

God knows,

والله ٮعلم

Ibrahim was neither Reoriented nor a Helper, but he was wholly turned toward God, true to Him alone,

ما كاں اٮرهٮم ٮهودٮا ولا ٮصراٮٮا ولكں كاں حٮٮڡا مسلما

Of mankind, those closest to Ibrahim are surely those who followed him, as well as this informant and those who have believed.

اں اولى الٮاس ٮاٮرهٮم للدٮں اٮٮعوه وهدا الٮٮى والدٮں امٮوا

A group among the people of the Scripture would have liked to lead you astray;

ودٮ طاٮڡه مں اهل الكٮٮ لو ٮصلوٮكم

"And give credit only to him who follows your Law."

ولا ٮومٮوا الا لمں ٮٮع دٮٮكم

Say: "The guidance is indeed the guidance of God" — lest anyone be given the like of what you were given, or lest they dispute with you before your Guardian.

ڡل اں الهدى هدى الله اں ٮوٮى احد مٮل ما اوٮٮٮم او ٮحاحوكم عٮد رٮكم

Say: "Favor is in the hand of God,

ڡل اں الڡصل ٮٮد الله

He gives it to whom He wills.

ٮوٮٮه مں ٮسا

He reserves His benevolence for whom He wills.

ٮحٮص ٮرحمٮه مں ٮسا

And among the people of the Scripture, there are some who, if you entrust them with a quintal, will return it to you;

ومں اهل الكٮٮ مں اں ٮامٮه ٮڡٮطار ٮوده الٮك

and there are some who, if you entrust them with a dinar, do not return it to you unless you keep pressing them for it.

ومٮهم مں اں ٮامٮه ٮدٮٮار لا ٮوده الٮك الا ما دمٮ علٮه ڡاٮما

That is because they say: "We have, toward the people without a prior Scripture, no obligation",

دلك ٮاٮهم ڡالوا لٮس علٮٮا ڡى الامٮں سٮٮل

Indeed, those who buy, with the pact of God and their oaths, a paltry price — those are the ones who will have no allotment 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.

اں الدٮں ٮسٮروں ٮعهد الله واٮمٮهم ٮمٮا ڡلٮلا اولٮك لا حلٯ لهم ڡى الاحره ولا ٮكلمهم الله ولا ٮٮطر الٮهم ٮوم الڡٮمه ولا ٮركٮهم

And among them, there is surely a fraction who twist their tongues with the Scripture, so that you might take it for an extract of the Scripture, when it is not part of it,

واں مٮهم لڡرٮڡا ٮلوں السٮٮهم ٮالكٮٮ لٮحسٮوه مں الكٮٮ وما هو مں الكٮٮ

and they say: "This comes from God",

وٮڡولوں هو مں عٮد الله

when it does not come from God,

وما هو مں عٮد الله

And he would not order you to take the Agents and the informants as masters.

ولا ٮامركم اں ٮٮحدوا الملٮكه والٮٮٮں ارٮاٮا

And when God took the solemn engagement of the informants: "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 help him."

واد احد الله مٮٮٯ الٮٮٮں لما اٮٮٮكم مں كٮٮ وحكمه ٮم حاكم رسول مصدٯ لما معكم لٮومٮں ٮه ولٮٮصرٮه

He said: "Have you consented, and taken upon yourselves My yoke on this condition?"

ڡال اڡررٮم واحدٮم على دلكم اصرى

They said: "We have consented."

ڡالوا اڡررٮا

Would 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,

اڡعٮر دٮں الله ٮٮعوں وله اسلم مں ڡى السموٮ والارص طوعا وكرها

And whoever seeks a Law other than being true to God alone, it will never be accepted from him,

ومں ٮٮٮع عٮر الاسلم دٮٮا ڡلں ٮڡٮل مٮه

How would God guide a people who disowned after having believed, and after having testified that the messenger is true, when the clear proofs had come to them?

كٮڡ ٮهدى الله ڡوما كڡروا ٮعد اٮمٮهم وسهدوا اں الرسول حٯ وحاهم الٮٮٮٮ

Indeed, those who disown after having believed, then increase in disowning, their repentance will never be accepted,

اں الدٮں كڡروا ٮعد اٮمٮهم ٮم اردادوا كڡرا لں ٮڡٮل ٮوٮٮهم

Indeed, those 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.

اں الدٮں كڡروا وماٮوا وهم كڡار ڡلں ٮڡٮل مں احدهم مل الارص دهٮا ولو اڡٮدى ٮه

Those are the ones who will have a painful punishment,

اولٮك لهم عداٮ الٮم

Virtue will not accrue to you unless you spend of what you love.

لں ٮٮالوا الٮر حٮى ٮٮڡڡوا مما ٮحٮوں

All food was permitted to the Sons of Israel, except what Israel had prohibited to himself, before the Tawrah was sent down.

كل الطعام كاں حلا لٮٮى اسرٮل الا ما حرم اسرٮل على ٮڡسه مں ڡٮل اں ٮٮرل الٮورٮه

Say: "God has spoken with veracity.

ڡل صدٯ الله

Follow, then, the doctrine of Ibrahim, wholly turned toward God,

ڡاٮٮعوا مله اٮرهٮم حٮٮڡا

The first House set down for mankind is surely that at the place of the throng, blessed and a guidance for all beings; in it are clear signs.

اں اول ٮٮٮ وصع للٮاس للدى ٮٮكه مٮاركا وهدى للعلمٮں ڡٮه اٮٮ ٮٮٮٮ

The station of Ibrahim,

مڡام اٮرهٮم

and whoever enters it is secure.

ومں دحله كاں امٮا

And the Hajj of the House is a duty toward God for mankind, for whoever has the capacity to take the way to it;

ولله على الٮاس حح الٮٮٮ مں اسٮطاع الٮه سٮٮلا

Say: "O people of the Scripture! Why do you bar from the way of God him who has believed, seeking to make it crooked, while you are witnesses to it?"

ڡل ٮاهل الكٮٮ لم ٮصدوں عں سٮٮل الله مں امں ٮٮعوٮها عوحا واٮٮم سهدا

And how would you disown, when the signs of God are recited to you, and His messenger is among you?

وكٮڡ ٮكڡروں واٮٮم ٮٮلى علٮكم اٮٮ الله وڡٮكم رسوله

O you who have believed! Guard yourselves toward God as one should guard oneself toward Him,

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا اٮڡوا الله حٯ ٮڡاٮه

And hold, all of you, firmly, to the rope of God,

واعٮصموا ٮحٮل الله حمٮعا

and do not divide yourselves.

ولا ٮڡرڡوا

And remember God's blessing upon you, when you were enemies, and He reconciled your cores, so that you became, by His blessing, brothers;

وادكروا ٮعمٮ الله علٮكم اد كٮٮم اعدا ڡالڡ ٮٮں ڡلوٮكم ڡاصٮحٮم ٮٮعمٮه احوٮا

and you were at the edge of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it.

وكٮٮم على سڡا حڡره مں الٮار ڡاٮڡدكم مٮها

And let there be from among you a community that calls to good, orders what is recognized, and forbids what is disavowed.

ولٮكں مٮكم امه ٮدعوں الى الحٮر وٮامروں ٮالمعروڡ وٮٮهوں عں المٮكر

And those are the ones who will have an immense punishment, on the day when faces will brighten and faces will darken.

واولٮك لهم عداٮ عطٮم ٮوم ٮٮٮص وحوه وٮسود وحوه

And as for those whose faces will have brightened, they will be in the benevolence of God,

واما الدٮں اٮٮصٮ وحوههم ڡڡى رحمه الله

Those are the signs of God, which We recite to you in truth.

ٮلك اٮٮ الله ٮٮلوها علٮك ٮالحٯ

And to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth,

ولله ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص

You are the best community brought forth for mankind: you order what is recognized, you forbid what is disavowed, and you believe in God.

كٮٮم حٮر امه احرحٮ للٮاس ٮامروں ٮالمعروڡ وٮٮهوں عں المٮكر وٮومٮوں ٮالله

And had the people of the Scripture believed, it would have been better for them.

ولو امں اهل الكٮٮ لكاں حٮرا لهم

Among them, there are believers,

مٮهم المومٮوں

They can never harm you,

لں ٮصروكم

except by a nuisance.

الا ادى

And if they fight you, they will turn their backs to you;

واں ٮڡٮلوكم ٮولوكم الادٮار

Humiliation has been imprinted upon them, wherever they are surprised,

صرٮٮ علٮهم الدله اٮں ما ٮڡڡوا

except by a rope from God and a rope from mankind; they incur the anger of God,

الا ٮحٮل مں الله وحٮل مں الٮاس وٮاو ٮعصٮ مں الله

and misery has been imprinted upon them.

وصرٮٮ علٮهم المسكٮه

That is because they used to disown the signs of God, and kill the informants without right.

دلك ٮاٮهم كاٮوا ٮكڡروں ٮاٮٮ الله وٮڡٮلوں الاٮٮٮا ٮعٮر حٯ

They are not all equal:

لٮسوا سوا

They believe in God and the Last Day, order what is recognized, forbid what is disavowed, and speed toward good deeds.

ٮومٮوں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر وٮامروں ٮالمعروڡ وٮٮهوں عں المٮكر وٮسرعوں ڡى الحٮرٮ

And whatever good they do, they will never have it disowned.

وما ٮڡعلوا مں حٮر ڡلں ٮكڡروه

Indeed, those who disown, neither their goods nor their children will avail them at all against God,

اں الدٮں كڡروا لں ٮعٮى عٮهم امولهم ولا اولدهم مں الله سٮا

The example of what they spend in this present life is that of an icy wind, which strikes the tilth of a people who have wronged themselves, and annihilates it.

مٮل ما ٮٮڡڡوں ڡى هده الحٮوه الدٮٮا كمٮل رٮح ڡٮها صر اصاٮٮ حرٮ ڡوم طلموا اٮڡسهم ڡاهلكٮه

And God did not wrong them,

وما طلمهم الله

O you who have believed! Do not take close confidants apart from your own: they never cease to cause you confusion, and would like you to be overwhelmed.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮٮحدوا ٮطاٮه مں دوٮكم لا ٮالوٮكم حٮالا ودوا ما عٮٮم

Hatred has already appeared in their mouths, and what their chests hide is far graver still.

ڡد ٮدٮ الٮعصا مں اڡوههم وما ٮحڡى صدورهم اكٮر

Here you are, you who love them, while they do not love you, and you believe in the whole of the Scripture.

هاٮٮم اولا ٮحٮوٮهم ولا ٮحٮوٮكم وٮومٮوں ٮالكٮٮ كله

And when they meet you, they say: "We have believed";

وادا لڡوكم ڡالوا امٮا

but when they are alone, they bite their fingertips, out of rage against you.

وادا حلوا عصوا علٮكم الاٮامل مں العٮط

Say: "Die in your rage."

ڡل موٮوا ٮعٮطكم

If good touches you, it vexes them,

اں ٮمسسكم حسٮه ٮسوهم

and if evil strikes you, they rejoice at it.

واں ٮصٮكم سٮٮه ٮڡرحوا ٮها

But if you are patient and guard yourselves, their scheming will not harm you at all.

واں ٮصٮروا وٮٮڡوا لا ٮصركم كٮدهم سٮا

And when you left your household early, to settle the believers in positions for battle.

واد عدوٮ مں اهلك ٮٮوى المومٮٮں مڡعد للڡٮال

When two of your groups almost gave ground, God being the protector of both —

اد همٮ طاٮڡٮاں مٮكم اں ٮڡسلا والله ولٮهما

God indeed helped you at Badr, when you were humiliated.

ولڡد ٮصركم الله ٮٮدر واٮٮم ادله

And to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

ولله ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص

He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills.

ٮعڡر لمں ٮسا وٮعدٮ مں ٮسا

O you who have believed! Do not devour usury, doubled and redoubled.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮاكلوا الرٮوا اصعڡا مصعڡه

And speed 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 overlook men.

وسارعوا الى معڡره مں رٮكم وحٮه عرصها السموٮ والارص اعدٮ للمٮڡٮں الدٮں ٮٮڡڡوں ڡى السرا والصرا والكطمٮں العٮط والعاڡٮں عں الٮاس

And those who, when they commit an indecency or wrong themselves, remember God and ask forgiveness for their offenses —

والدٮں ادا ڡعلوا ڡحسه او طلموا اٮڡسهم دكروا الله ڡاسٮعڡروا لدٮوٮهم

and who forgives offenses, but God? —

ومں ٮعڡر الدٮوٮ الا الله

Those are the ones whose recompense is a forgiveness from their Guardian, and gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally.

اولٮك حراوهم معڡره مں رٮهم وحٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها

Norms have indeed passed before you;

ڡد حلٮ مں ڡٮلكم سٮں

If a wound touches you, a similar wound has already touched that people.

اں ٮمسسكم ڡرح ڡڡد مس الڡوم ڡرح مٮله

Thus do the days go: We make them pass from one to another among mankind,

وٮلك الاٮام ٮداولها ٮٮں الٮاس

so that God may distinguish those who have believed, and take from among you witnesses —

ولٮعلم الله الدٮں امٮوا وٮٮحد مٮكم سهدا

Muhammad is only a messenger; messengers have indeed passed before him.

وما محمد الا رسول ڡد حلٮ مں ڡٮله الرسل

If he then died, or was killed, would you turn back on your heels?

اڡاٮں ماٮ او ڡٮل اٮڡلٮٮم على اعڡٮكم

And whoever turns back on his heels does not harm God at all,

ومں ٮٮڡلٮ على عڡٮٮه ڡلں ٮصر الله سٮا

And it is not for any Self to die, except with the permission of God,

وما كاں لٮڡس اں ٮموٮ الا ٮادں الله

according to a register with an appointed term.

كٮٮا موحلا

And whoever wants the requital of the present life, We give it to him;

ومں ٮرد ٮواٮ الدٮٮا ٮوٮه مٮها

and whoever wants the requital of the last life, We give it to him.

ومں ٮرد ٮواٮ الاحره ٮوٮه مٮها

How many an informant has been killed, having at his side many attached to the Guardian!

وكاٮں مں ٮٮى ڡٮل معه رٮٮوں كٮٮر

They did not slacken for what struck them in the way of God, did not weaken, and did not bend.

ڡما وهٮوا لما اصاٮهم ڡى سٮٮل الله وما صعڡوا وما اسٮكاٮوا

God then gave them the requital of the present life, and the beautiful requital of the last life.

ڡاٮٮهم الله ٮواٮ الدٮٮا وحسں ٮواٮ الاحره

God, rather, is your nearest Guarantor,

ٮل الله مولٮكم

We will cast terror into the cores of those who disown, for having associated with God that for which He has sent down no authority.

سٮلڡى ڡى ڡلوٮ الدٮں كڡروا الرعٮ ٮما اسركوا ٮالله ما لم ٮٮرل ٮه سلطٮا

And their refuge will be the Fire,

وماوٮهم الٮار

God indeed kept His promise to you, when you were decimating them with His permission,

ولڡد صدڡكم الله وعده اد ٮحسوٮهم ٮادٮه

until, having given ground, you disputed among yourselves over the matter, and disobeyed, after He had shown you what you loved.

حٮى ادا ڡسلٮم وٮٮرعٮم ڡى الامر وعصٮٮم مں ٮعد ما ارٮكم ما ٮحٮوں

Among you, there were some who wanted the present life, and among you, there were some who wanted the last life;

مٮكم مں ٮرٮد الدٮٮا ومٮكم مں ٮرٮد الاحره

then He turned you away from them, so as to test you.

ٮم صرڡكم عٮهم لٮٮٮلٮكم

He has indeed already overlooked it for you.

ولڡد عڡا عٮكم

When you were climbing, without turning back to anyone, while the messenger was calling you, at the rear of your ranks; He then requited you with anguish upon anguish, so that you would not grieve either for what you had missed, or for what had struck you.

اد ٮصعدوں ولا ٮلوں على احد والرسول ٮدعوكم ڡى احرٮكم ڡاٮٮكم عما ٮعم لكٮلا ٮحرٮوا على ما ڡاٮكم ولا ما اصٮكم

Then He sent down upon you, after the anguish, a security, a drowsiness that covered a group among you,

ٮم اٮرل علٮكم مں ٮعد العم امٮه ٮعاسا ٮعسى طاٮڡه مٮكم

while a group, preoccupied with its own Self, formed about God, contrary to the truth, a presumption of the age of ignorance,

وطاٮڡه ڡد اهمٮهم اٮڡسهم ٮطٮوں ٮالله عٮر الحٯ طں الحهلٮه

saying: "Do we have any part in the matter?"

ٮڡولوں هل لٮا مں الامر مں سى

Say: "The matter, entirely, indeed belongs to God."

ڡل اں الامر كله لله

They hide, within themselves, what they do not make appear to you,

ٮحڡوں ڡى اٮڡسهم ما لا ٮٮدوں لك

saying: "Had we had, in this matter, any power, we would not have been killed here."

ٮڡولوں لو كاں لٮا مں الامر سى ما ڡٮلٮا ههٮا

Say: "Had you been in your houses, those for whom killing was prescribed would certainly have gone forth to the places where they were to lie down" — and so that God might test what is in your chests, and purify what is in your cores.

ڡل لو كٮٮم ڡى ٮٮوٮكم لٮرر الدٮں كٮٮ علٮهم الڡٮل الى مصاحعهم ولٮٮٮلى الله ما ڡى صدوركم ولٮمحص ما ڡى ڡلوٮكم

Those among you who turned their backs, on the day the two forces met, it was only the Diverter who made them slip, for a part of what they had earned.

اں الدٮں ٮولوا مٮكم ٮوم الٮڡى الحمعاں اٮما اسٮرلهم السٮطں ٮٮعص ما كسٮوا

God has indeed already overlooked it for them.

ولڡد عڡا الله عٮهم

O 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 desolation in their cores.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮكوٮوا كالدٮں كڡروا وڡالوا لاحوٮهم ادا صرٮوا ڡى الارص او كاٮوا عرى لو كاٮوا عٮدٮا ما ماٮوا وما ڡٮلوا لٮحعل الله دلك حسره ڡى ڡلوٮهم

God gives life and causes death.

والله ٮحى وٮمٮٮ

It is by a benevolence from God that you have been gentle toward them;

ڡٮما رحمه مں الله لٮٮ لهم

and had you been surly, hard of core, they would certainly have dispersed away from you.

ولو كٮٮ ڡطا علٮط الڡلٮ لاٮڡصوا مں حولك

So overlook it for them, ask forgiveness for them, and confer with them on the matter;

ڡاعڡ عٮهم واسٮعڡر لهم وساورهم ڡى الامر

and once your decision is made, entrust yourself to God.

ڡادا عرمٮ ڡٮوكل على الله

If God helps you, none can overcome you;

اں ٮٮصركم الله ڡلا عالٮ لكم

and if He abandons you, who then could help you after Him?

واں ٮحدلكم ڡمں دا الدى ٮٮصركم مں ٮعده

It is not for an informant to commit an embezzlement;

وما كاں لٮٮى اں ٮعل

and whoever commits an embezzlement will come, on the Day of Appearance, with what he embezzled,

ومں ٮعلل ٮاٮ ٮما عل ٮوم الڡٮمه

Is he who follows the good pleasure of God, then, like him who incurs the displeasure of God, and whose refuge will be Jahannam?

اڡمں اٮٮع رصوں الله كمں ٮا ٮسحط مں الله وماوٮه حهٮم

They have degrees with God.

هم درحٮ عٮد الله

How then, when misfortune strikes you, after you had caused double that to strike, do you say: "From where, then, does this come?"

اولما اصٮٮكم مصٮٮه ڡد اصٮٮم مٮلٮها ڡلٮم اٮى هدا

Say: "This comes from yourselves."

ڡل هو مں عٮد اٮڡسكم

And what struck you, on the day the two forces met, was with God's permission, and so that He might distinguish the believers, and distinguish those who practiced hypocrisy,

وما اصٮكم ٮوم الٮڡى الحمعاں ڡٮادں الله ولٮعلم المومٮٮں ولٮعلم الدٮں ٮاڡڡوا

and to whom it was said: "Come, fight in the way of God, or repel";

وڡٮل لهم ٮعالوا ڡٮلوا ڡى سٮٮل الله او ادڡعوا

they said: "If we knew how to fight, we would certainly have followed you."

ڡالوا لو ٮعلم ڡٮالا لاٮٮعٮكم

That day, they were closer to disowning than to faith,

هم للكڡر ٮومٮد اڡرٮ مٮهم للاٮمں

saying with their mouths what was not in their cores.

ٮڡولوں ٮاڡوههم ما لٮس ڡى ڡلوٮهم

Those who, having stayed seated, said of their brothers: "Had they deferred to us, they would not have been killed."

الدٮں ڡالوا لاحوٮهم وڡعدوا لو اطاعوٮا ما ڡٮلوا

They exult in a blessing from God and a favor, and that God does not let the reward of the believers dissipate, those who responded to God and to the messenger after the wound had struck them.

ٮسٮٮسروں ٮٮعمه مں الله وڡصل واں الله لا ٮصٮع احر المومٮٮں الدٮں اسٮحاٮوا لله والرسول مں ٮعد ما اصاٮهم الڡرح

Those to whom men said: "Men have indeed come together against you, so dread them" — that increased their faith.

الدٮں ڡال لهم الٮاس اں الٮاس ڡد حمعوا لكم ڡاحسوهم ڡرادهم اٮمٮا

They returned then with a blessing from God and a favor, without any evil having touched them, and they followed the good pleasure of God.

ڡاٮڡلٮوا ٮٮعمه مں الله وڡصل لم ٮمسسهم سو واٮٮعوا رصوں الله

It is only that Diverter who frightens his allies; do not fear them, then,

اٮما دلكم السٮطں ٮحوڡ اولٮاه ڡلا ٮحاڡوهم

And let not those grieve you who speed into disowning:

ولا ٮحرٮك الدٮں ٮسرعوں ڡى الكڡر

they will not harm God at all.

اٮهم لں ٮصروا الله سٮا

God wants to assign them no share in the last life,

ٮرٮد الله الا ٮحعل لهم حطا ڡى الاحره

And let those who disown by no means think that the delay We grant them is a good for themselves:

ولا ٮحسٮں الدٮں كڡروا اٮما ٮملى لهم حٮر لاٮڡسهم

We grant it to them only so that they may increase in transgression,

اٮما ٮملى لهم لٮردادوا اٮما

It is not for God to forsake the believers in the state you are in, without distinguishing the vile from the wholesome,

ما كاں الله لٮدر المومٮٮں على ما اٮٮم علٮه حٮى ٮمٮر الحٮٮٮ مں الطٮٮ

and it is not for God to let you pierce what escapes the senses,

وما كاں الله لٮطلعكم على العٮٮ

but God elects, among His messengers, whom He wills.

ولكں الله ٮحٮٮى مں رسله مں ٮسا

So believe in God and in His messengers;

ڡامٮوا ٮالله ورسله

And let those who are stingy with what God has given them of His favor by no means think that it is a good for them;

ولا ٮحسٮں الدٮں ٮٮحلوں ٮما اٮٮهم الله مں ڡصله هو حٮرا لهم

it is rather an ill for them.

ٮل هو سر لهم

They will be encircled by what they were stingy with, on the Day of Appearance.

سٮطوڡوں ما ٮحلوا ٮه ٮوم الڡٮمه

And to God belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth.

ولله مٮرٮ السموٮ والارص

God has certainly heard the saying of those who said: "God is poor, and we are rich."

لڡد سمع الله ڡول الدٮں ڡالوا اں الله ڡڡٮر وٮحں اعٮٮا

Those who said: "God has bound us by a pact not to give credit to any messenger, until he brings us an offering that the fire consumes",

الدٮں ڡالوا اں الله عهد الٮٮا الا ٮومں لرسول حٮى ٮاٮٮٮا ٮڡرٮاں ٮاكله الٮار

Every Self will taste death,

كل ٮڡس داٮڡه الموٮ

and it is only on the Day of Appearance that you will be faithfully repaid your rewards.

واٮما ٮوڡوں احوركم ٮوم الڡٮمه

Whoever is pulled away from the Fire and admitted into the Garden has thus triumphed.

ڡمں رحرح عں الٮار وادحل الحٮه ڡڡد ڡار

You 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 nuisance.

لٮٮلوں ڡى امولكم واٮڡسكم ولٮسمعں مں الدٮں اوٮوا الكٮٮ مں ڡٮلكم ومں الدٮں اسركوا ادى كٮٮرا

And 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 withhold it"; but they cast it behind their backs, and bought with it a paltry price.

واد احد الله مٮٮٯ الدٮں اوٮوا الكٮٮ لٮٮٮٮٮه للٮاس ولا ٮكٮموٮه ڡٮٮدوه ورا طهورهم واسٮروا ٮه ٮمٮا ڡلٮلا

Do not ever think that those who rejoice in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they did not do — do not ever think that they will evade the punishment.

لا ٮحسٮں الدٮں ٮڡرحوں ٮما اٮوا وٮحٮوں اں ٮحمدوا ٮما لم ٮڡعلوا ڡلا ٮحسٮٮهم ٮمڡاره مں العداٮ

And to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth.

ولله ملك السموٮ والارص

There 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:

اں ڡى حلٯ السموٮ والارص واحٮلڡ الٮل والٮهار لاٮٮ لاولى الالٮٮ الدٮں ٮدكروں الله ڡٮما وڡعودا وعلى حٮوٮهم وٮٮڡكروں ڡى حلٯ السموٮ والارص

"Our Guardian, You did not create this in vain. Glory be to You!

رٮٮا ما حلڡٮ هدا ٮطلا سٮحٮك

Our Guardian, whoever You admit into the Fire, You have indeed covered him with disgrace,

رٮٮا اٮك مں ٮدحل الٮار ڡڡد احرٮٮه

Our Guardian, we have heard a herald calling to faith: Believe in your Guardian — and we have believed.

رٮٮا اٮٮا سمعٮا مٮادٮا ٮٮادى للاٮمں اں امٮوا ٮرٮكم ڡامٮا

Our Guardian, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers, and do not cover us with disgrace on the Day of Appearance:

رٮٮا واٮٮا ما وعدٮٮا على رسلك ولا ٮحرٮا ٮوم الڡٮمه

Their Guardian answered them, then: "I do not let the deed of one of you who acts dissipate, male or female —

ڡاسٮحاٮ لهم رٮهم اٮى لا اصٮع عمل عمل مٮكم مں دكر او اٮٮى

you are of one another.

ٮعصكم مں ٮعص

Those who have emigrated, been expelled from their abodes, been troubled 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.

ڡالدٮں هاحروا واحرحوا مں دٮرهم واودوا ڡى سٮٮلى وڡٮلوا وڡٮلوا لاكڡرں عٮهم سٮاٮهم ولادحلٮهم حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر ٮواٮا مں عٮد الله

It is an enjoyment of little worth,

مٮع ڡلٮل

then their refuge will be Jahannam,

ٮم ماوٮهم حهٮم

But 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.

لكں الدٮں اٮڡوا رٮهم لهم حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها ٮرلا مں عٮد الله

And among the people of the Scripture, there are surely some who believe in God, in what has been sent down to you, and in what was sent down to them, humble toward God,

واں مں اهل الكٮٮ لمں ٮومں ٮالله وما اٮرل الٮكم وما اٮرل الٮهم حسعٮں لله

not buying, with the signs of God, a paltry price.

لا ٮسٮروں ٮاٮٮ الله ٮمٮا ڡلٮلا

Those are the ones who have their reward with their Guardian.

اولٮك لهم احرهم عٮد رٮهم
