At-Tawba

So move about freely in the land for four months,

ڡسٮحوا ڡى الارص ارٮعه اسهر

And a proclamation from God and His messenger to mankind, on the day of the Great Convergence of the Hajj: God is quit of the associators, and so is His messenger.

وادں مں الله ورسوله الى الٮاس ٮوم الحح الاكٮر اں الله ٮرى مں المسركٮں ورسوله

So if you turn back, that is better for you;

ڡاں ٮٮٮم ڡهو حٮر لكم

And announce to those who have disowned a painful punishment — except those of the associators with whom you made a pact, and who then did not stint you in anything nor supported anyone against you: complete your pact toward them until its term.

وٮسر الدٮں كڡروا ٮعداٮ الٮم الا الدٮں عهدٮم مں المسركٮں ٮم لم ٮٮڡصوكم سٮا ولم ٮطهروا علٮكم احدا ڡاٮموا الٮهم عهدهم الى مدٮهم

When the inviolable months have run out, kill the associators wherever you find them; seize them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every point of observation.

ڡادا اٮسلح الاسهر الحرم ڡاڡٮلوا المسركٮں حٮٮ وحدٮموهم وحدوهم واحصروهم واڡعدوا لهم كل مرصد

But if they turn back, maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality, then leave their way clear.

ڡاں ٮاٮوا واڡاموا الصلوه واٮوا الركوه ڡحلوا سٮٮلهم

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

واں احد مں المسركٮں اسٮحارك ڡاحره حٮى ٮسمع كلم الله ٮم اٮلعه مامٮه

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

كٮڡ ٮكوں للمسركٮں عهد عٮد الله وعٮد رسوله الا الدٮں عهدٮم عٮد المسحد الحرام ڡما اسٮڡموا لكم ڡاسٮڡٮموا لهم

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

كٮڡ واں ٮطهروا علٮكم لا ٮرڡٮوا ڡٮكم الا ولا دمه

They bought, with the signs of God, a paltry price, and they barred from His way.

اسٮروا ٮاٮٮ الله ٮمٮا ڡلٮلا ڡصدوا عں سٮٮله

They respect, toward a believer, neither kinship nor surety.

لا ٮرڡٮوں ڡى مومں الا ولا دمه

If they turn back, maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality, then they are your brothers in the Law.

ڡاں ٮاٮوا واڡاموا الصلوه واٮوا الركوه ڡاحوٮكم ڡى الدٮں

But if they violate their oaths after their pact, and attack your Law, then fight the guides of disowning,

واں ٮكٮوا اٮمٮهم مں ٮعد عهدهم وطعٮوا ڡى دٮٮكم ڡڡٮلوا اٮمه الكڡر

Will you then not fight a people who violated their oaths, who were minded to expel the messenger, and who attacked you first? Would you dread them?

الا ٮڡٮلوں ڡوما ٮكٮوا اٮمٮهم وهموا ٮاحراح الرسول وهم ٮدوكم اول مره اٮحسوٮهم

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

ڡٮلوهم ٮعدٮهم الله ٮاٮدٮكم وٮحرهم وٮٮصركم علٮهم وٮسڡ صدور ڡوم مومٮٮں وٮدهٮ عٮط ڡلوٮهم

And God turns with clemency toward whom He wills.

وٮٮوٮ الله على مں ٮسا

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

ام حسٮٮم اں ٮٮركوا ولما ٮعلم الله الدٮں حهدوا مٮكم ولم ٮٮحدوا مں دوں الله ولا رسوله ولا المومٮٮں ولٮحه

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

ما كاں للمسركٮں اں ٮعمروا مسحد الله سهدٮں على اٮڡسهم ٮالكڡر

Would you make the giving of drink to those performing the Hajj and the maintenance of the inviolable place of prostration equivalent to one who has believed in God and the Last Day, and has striven in the way of God?

احعلٮم سڡاٮه الحاح وعماره المسحد الحرام كمں امں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر وحهد ڡى سٮٮل الله

They are not equal in the sight of God.

لا ٮسٮوں عٮد الله

Those who have believed, emigrated, and striven in the way of God with their goods and their Selves have a more immense degree with God,

الدٮں امٮوا وهاحروا وحهدوا ڡى سٮٮل الله ٮامولهم واٮڡسهم اعطم درحه عٮد الله

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

ٮٮسرهم رٮهم ٮرحمه مٮه ورصوں وحٮٮ لهم ڡٮها ٮعٮم مڡٮم حلدٮں ڡٮها اٮدا

O you who have believed! Do not take your fathers and your brothers as allies, if they love disowning more than faith.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮٮحدوا اٮاكم واحوٮكم اولٮا اں اسٮحٮوا الكڡر على الاٮمں

Say: "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your spouses, your kinsmen, the goods you have acquired, a trade whose decline you dread, and dwellings with which you are satisfied, are dearer to you than God, His messenger, and striving in His way, then bide your time, until God brings His command."

ڡل اں كاں اٮاوكم واٮٮاوكم واحوٮكم واروحكم وعسٮرٮكم وامول اڡٮرڡٮموها وٮحره ٮحسوں كسادها ومسكں ٮرصوٮها احٮ الٮكم مں الله ورسوله وحهاد ڡى سٮٮله ڡٮرٮصوا حٮى ٮاٮى الله ٮامره

Then God sent down His tranquility upon His messenger and upon the believers, and sent down armies you did not see, and He punished those who had disowned.

ٮم اٮرل الله سكٮٮٮه على رسوله وعلى المومٮٮں واٮرل حٮودا لم ٮروها وعدٮ الدٮں كڡروا

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

ٮم ٮٮوٮ الله مں ٮعد دلك على مں ٮسا

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

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا اٮما المسركوں ٮحس ڡلا ٮڡرٮوا المسحد الحرام ٮعد عامهم هدا

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

واں حڡٮم عٮله ڡسوڡ ٮعٮٮكم الله مں ڡصله اں سا

And the Reoriented said: "Al-'Uzayr is the son of God";

وڡالٮ الٮهود عرٮر اٮں الله

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

وڡالٮ الٮصرى المسٮح اٮں الله

That is their saying with their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who, before them, disowned.

دلك ڡولهم ٮاڡوههم ٮصهوں ڡول الدٮں كڡروا مں ڡٮل

May God combat them!

ڡٮلهم الله

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

اٮحدوا احٮارهم ورهٮٮهم ارٮاٮا مں دوں الله والمسٮح اٮں مرٮم

though they had been ordered only to obey one deity.

وما امروا الا لٮعٮدوا الها وحدا

There is no deity but Him.

لا اله الا هو

O you who have believed! Many rabbis and monks surely devour the goods of men through falsehood, and bar from the way of God.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا اں كٮٮرا مں الاحٮار والرهٮاں لٮاكلوں امول الٮاس ٮالٮطل وٮصدوں عں سٮٮل الله

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

اں عده السهور عٮد الله اٮٮا عسر سهرا ڡى كٮٮ الله ٮوم حلٯ السموٮ والارص

four of them are inviolable.

مٮها ارٮعه حرم

That is the upright Law.

دلك الدٮں الڡٮم

So do not wrong yourselves during these.

ڡلا ٮطلموا ڡٮهں اٮڡسكم

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

وڡٮلوا المسركٮں كاڡه كما ٮڡٮلوٮكم كاڡه

The deferred is only an increase in disowning: by it, those who disown lead astray; they make it permitted one year and make it inviolable one year, so as to trample the number of what God has made inviolable, and thus make permitted what God has made inviolable.

اٮما الٮسى رٮاده ڡى الكڡر ٮصل ٮه الدٮں كڡروا ٮحلوٮه عاما وٮحرموٮه عاما لٮواطوا عده ما حرم الله ڡٮحلوا ما حرم الله

The evil of their works has been embellished for them.

رٮں لهم سو اعملهم

O you who have believed! What is with you, when it is said to you: "Mobilize in the way of God", that you cling heavily to the earth?

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا ما لكم ادا ڡٮل لكم اٮڡروا ڡى سٮٮل الله اٮاڡلٮم الى الارص

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

ارصٮٮم ٮالحٮوه الدٮٮا مں الاحره

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

الا ٮٮڡروا ٮعدٮكم عداٮا الٮما وٮسٮٮدل ڡوما عٮركم ولا ٮصروه سٮا

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

الا ٮٮصروه ڡڡد ٮصره الله اد احرحه الدٮں كڡروا ٮاٮى اٮٮٮں اد هما ڡى العار اد ٮڡول لصحٮه لا ٮحرں اں الله معٮا

God then sent down His tranquility upon him,

ڡاٮرل الله سكٮٮٮه علٮه

and He fortified him with armies you did not see,

واٮده ٮحٮود لم ٮروها

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

وحعل كلمه الدٮں كڡروا السڡلى

while the word of God is the highest.

وكلمه الله هى العلٮا

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

اٮڡروا حڡاڡا وٮڡالا وحهدوا ٮامولكم واٮڡسكم ڡى سٮٮل الله

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

لو كاں عرصا ڡرٮٮا وسڡرا ڡاصدا لاٮٮعوك ولكں ٮعدٮ علٮهم السڡه

And they will take oaths by God: "If we had been able, we would have gone out with you";

وسٮحلڡوں ٮالله لو اسٮطعٮا لحرحٮا معكم

they annihilate themselves,

ٮهلكوں اٮڡسهم

Those who believe in God and the Last Day do not ask you for permission when it comes to striving with their goods and their Selves.

لا ٮسٮدٮك الدٮں ٮومٮوں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر اں ٮحهدوا ٮامولهم واٮڡسهم

And had they wanted to go out, they would have prepared equipment for it;

ولو ارادوا الحروح لاعدوا له عده

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

لو حرحوا ڡٮكم ما رادوكم الا حٮالا ولاوصعوا حللكم ٮٮعوٮكم الڡٮٮه وڡٮكم سمعوں لهم

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

ومٮهم مں ٮڡول اٮدں لى ولا ٮڡٮٮى

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

الا ڡى الڡٮٮه سڡطوا

If good betides you, it vexes them,

اں ٮصٮك حسٮه ٮسوهم

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

ڡل لں ٮصٮٮٮا الا ما كٮٮ الله لٮا

He is our nearest Guarantor.

هو مولٮٮا

Say: "Do you anticipate for us anything but one of the two best?

ڡل هل ٮرٮصوں ٮٮا الا احدى الحسٮٮٮں

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

وٮحں ٮٮرٮص ٮكم اں ٮصٮٮكم الله ٮعداٮ مں عٮده او ٮاٮدٮٮا

So bide your time,

ڡٮرٮصوا

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

ڡل اٮڡڡوا طوعا او كرها لں ٮٮڡٮل مٮكم

Let neither their goods nor their children dazzle you then.

ڡلا ٮعحٮك امولهم ولا اولدهم

And had they instead been satisfied with what God and His messenger gave them, and said: "God suffices us; God will grant us of His favor, and His messenger too;

ولو اٮهم رصوا ما اٮٮهم الله ورسوله وڡالوا حسٮٮا الله سٮوٮٮٮا الله مں ڡصله ورسوله

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

اٮما الصدڡٮ للڡڡرا والمسكٮں والعملٮں علٮها والمولڡه ڡلوٮهم وڡى الرڡاٮ والعرمٮں وڡى سٮٮل الله واٮں السٮٮل ڡرٮصه مں الله

And among them are those who trouble the Informant and say: "He is all ear."

ومٮهم الدٮں ٮودوں الٮٮى وٮڡولوں هو ادں

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

ڡل ادں حٮر لكم ٮومں ٮالله وٮومں للمومٮٮں ورحمه للدٮں امٮوا مٮكم

Do they not know that whoever sets himself against God and His messenger will have the fire of Jahannam, wherein he will abide eternally?

الم ٮعلموا اٮه مں ٮحادد الله ورسوله ڡاں له ٮار حهٮم حلدا ڡٮها

The hypocrites are wary lest a surah be sent down concerning them, informing them of what is in their cores.

ٮحدر المٮڡڡوں اں ٮٮرل علٮهم سوره ٮٮٮٮهم ٮما ڡى ڡلوٮهم

Say: "Mock away!

ڡل اسٮهروا

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

ولٮں سالٮهم لٮڡولں اٮما كٮا ٮحوص وٮلعٮ

Do not make excuses:

لا ٮعٮدروا

you have disowned after your faith.

ڡد كڡرٮم ٮعد اٮمٮكم

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

المٮڡڡوں والمٮڡڡٮ ٮعصهم مں ٮعص ٮامروں ٮالمٮكر وٮٮهوں عں المعروڡ وٮڡٮصوں اٮدٮهم ٮسوا الله ڡٮسٮهم

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

وعد الله المٮڡڡٮں والمٮڡڡٮ والكڡار ٮار حهٮم حلدٮں ڡٮها

That suffices them.

هى حسٮهم

And God has cursed them,

ولعٮهم الله

Like those who preceded you: they were superior to you in strength, richer in goods and children; they enjoyed their allotment, and you have enjoyed your allotment as those before you enjoyed their allotment, and you have immersed yourselves as they immersed themselves.

كالدٮں مں ڡٮلكم كاٮوا اسد مٮكم ڡوه واكٮر امولا واولدا ڡاسٮمٮعوا ٮحلڡهم ڡاسٮمٮعٮم ٮحلڡكم كما اسٮمٮع الدٮں مں ڡٮلكم ٮحلڡهم وحصٮم كالدى حاصوا

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

اولٮك حٮطٮ اعملهم ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

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

الم ٮاٮهم ٮٮا الدٮں مں ڡٮلهم ڡوم ٮوح وعاد وٮمود وڡوم اٮرهٮم واصحٮ مدٮں والموٮڡكٮ

Their messengers had come to them with clear proofs.

اٮٮهم رسلهم ٮالٮٮٮٮ

And God was not going to wrong them;

ڡما كاں الله لٮطلمهم

And the believers, men and women, are allies of one another:

والمومٮوں والمومٮٮ ٮعصهم اولٮا ٮعص

they order what is recognized and forbid what is disavowed, they maintain the Contact, give pure liberality, and defer to God and His messenger.

ٮامروں ٮالمعروڡ وٮٮهوں عں المٮكر وٮڡٮموں الصلوه وٮوٮوں الركوه وٮطٮعوں الله ورسوله

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

اولٮك سٮرحمهم الله

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

وعد الله المومٮٮں والمومٮٮ حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها ومسكں طٮٮه ڡى حٮٮ عدں

and a good pleasure from God is greater still.

ورصوں مں الله اكٮر

O Informant! Strive against those who disown and the hypocrites, and be firm with them.

ٮاٮها الٮٮى حهد الكڡار والمٮڡڡٮں واعلط علٮهم

And their refuge will be Jahannam,

وماوٮهم حهٮم

They take oaths by God that they said nothing;

ٮحلڡوں ٮالله ما ڡالوا

yet they did indeed say the word of disowning, and they disowned after having been true to God, and they were intent on what did not accrue to them.

ولڡد ڡالوا كلمه الكڡر وكڡروا ٮعد اسلمهم وهموا ٮما لم ٮٮالوا

They have nothing to resent, except that God and His messenger enriched them from His favor.

وما ٮڡموا الا اں اعٮٮهم الله ورسوله مں ڡصله

If they turn back, it will be better for them;

ڡاں ٮٮوٮوا ٮك حٮرا لهم

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

واں ٮٮولوا ٮعدٮهم الله عداٮا الٮما ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

Those who disparage by insinuation the believers who give in charity willingly, and scoff at those who have only their effort to give — God scoffs at them,

الدٮں ٮلمروں المطوعٮں مں المومٮٮں ڡى الصدڡٮ والدٮں لا ٮحدوں الا حهدهم ڡٮسحروں مٮهم سحر الله مٮهم

Whether you ask forgiveness for them or not —

اسٮعڡر لهم او لا ٮسٮعڡر لهم

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

اں ٮسٮعڡر لهم سٮعٮں مره ڡلں ٮعڡر الله لهم

That is because they disowned God and His messenger.

دلك ٮاٮهم كڡروا ٮالله ورسوله

Those who were left behind rejoiced in sitting back, apart from the messenger of God, and were averse to striving with their goods and their Selves in the way of God, and said: "Do not mobilize in the heat."

ڡرح المحلڡوں ٮمڡعدهم حلڡ رسول الله وكرهوا اں ٮحهدوا ٮامولهم واٮڡسهم ڡى سٮٮل الله وڡالوا لا ٮٮڡروا ڡى الحر

If God returns you to a group of them, and they ask you permission to go out, say then: "You will never go out with me, and you will not fight any enemy with me.

ڡاں رحعك الله الى طاٮڡه مٮهم ڡاسٮدٮوك للحروح ڡڡل لں ٮحرحوا معى اٮدا ولں ٮڡٮلوا معى عدوا

You were satisfied with remaining seated the first time;

اٮكم رصٮٮم ٮالڡعود اول مره

And never be in contact with any of them who dies, and do not maintain yourself for his burial:

ولا ٮصل على احد مٮهم ماٮ اٮدا ولا ٮڡم على ڡٮره

And let not their goods and their children dazzle you.

ولا ٮعحٮك امولهم واولدهم

They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind,

رصوا ٮاں ٮكوٮوا مع الحوالڡ

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

لكں الرسول والدٮں امٮوا معه حهدوا ٮامولهم واٮڡسهم

and those are the ones to whom belongs the good,

واولٮك لهم الحٮرٮ

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

اعد الله لهم حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها

And the excuse-makers, among the notables, came so that permission might be granted them, while those who lied to God and His messenger remained seated.

وحا المعدروں مں الاعراٮ لٮودں لهم وڡعد الدٮں كدٮوا الله ورسوله

There is no discomfort for the weak, nor for the sick, nor for those who find nothing to spend, so long as they are sincere toward God and His messenger.

لٮس على الصعڡا ولا على المرصى ولا على الدٮں لا ٮحدوں ما ٮٮڡڡوں حرح ادا ٮصحوا لله ورسوله

No way against those who do good.

ما على المحسٮٮں مں سٮٮل

Nor against those who, having come to you so that you might transport them, and to whom you said: "I find nothing on which to transport you",

ولا على الدٮں ادا ما اٮوك لٮحملهم ڡلٮ لا احد ما احملكم علٮه

The way is open only against those who ask you permission while they are rich.

اٮما السٮٮل على الدٮں ٮسٮدٮوٮك وهم اعٮٮا

They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind,

رصوا ٮاں ٮكوٮوا مع الحوالڡ

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

ٮعٮدروں الٮكم ادا رحعٮم الٮهم

Say: "Do not make excuses, we will not give you credit.

ڡل لا ٮعٮدروا لں ٮومں لكم

God has already informed us of your news.

ڡد ٮٮاٮا الله مں احٮاركم

And God will see your deed, and so will His messenger,

وسٮرى الله عملكم ورسوله

They will take oaths to you by God, once you have turned back to them, so that you may turn away from them.

سٮحلڡوں ٮالله لكم ادا اٮڡلٮٮم الٮهم لٮعرصوا عٮهم

So turn away from them:

ڡاعرصوا عٮهم

they are filth,

اٮهم رحس

and their refuge will be Jahannam,

وماوٮهم حهٮم

The notables are even more intense in disowning and hypocrisy, and they all the more deserve not to know the limits of what God has sent down upon His messenger.

الاعراٮ اسد كڡرا وٮڡاڡا واحدر الا ٮعلموا حدود ما اٮرل الله على رسوله

And among the notables are some who take what they spend as a forced levy, and anticipate setbacks of fate for you.

ومں الاعراٮ مں ٮٮحد ما ٮٮڡٯ معرما وٮٮرٮص ٮكم الدواٮر

Upon them, the cycle of misfortune.

علٮهم داٮره السو

And among the notables are some who believe in God and the Last Day, and who take what they spend as a means of drawing near to God and the visits of the messenger.

ومں الاعراٮ مں ٮومں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر وٮٮحد ما ٮٮڡٯ ڡرٮٮ عٮد الله وصلوٮ الرسول

Is it not so: it is indeed, for them, a drawing-near.

الا اٮها ڡرٮه لهم

God will admit them into His benevolence.

سٮدحلهم الله ڡى رحمٮه

And the very first forerunners, among the emigrants and the Auxiliaries, and those who followed them in excellence — God is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him;

والسٮڡوں الاولوں مں المهحرٮں والاٮصار والدٮں اٮٮعوهم ٮاحسں رصى الله عٮهم ورصوا عٮه

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

واعد لهم حٮٮ ٮحرى ٮحٮها الاٮهر حلدٮں ڡٮها اٮدا

And among the notables around you, there are hypocrites,

وممں حولكم مں الاعراٮ مٮڡڡوں

as well as, among those of them who dwell in the Capital, people hardened in hypocrisy whom you do not know:

ومں اهل المدٮٮه مردوا على الٮڡاٯ لا ٮعلمهم

We, We know them.

ٮحں ٮعلمهم

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

واحروں اعٮرڡوا ٮدٮوٮهم حلطوا عملا صلحا واحر سٮٮا عسى الله اں ٮٮوٮ علٮهم

Take from their goods an act of charity that purifies them and makes them grow, and be in contact with them:

حد مں امولهم صدڡه ٮطهرهم وٮركٮهم ٮها وصل علٮهم

your visits are a comfort for them.

اں صلوٮك سكں لهم

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

وڡل اعملوا ڡسٮرى الله عملكم ورسوله والمومٮوں

And others are left pending God's command: either He will punish them, or He will turn toward them with clemency.

واحروں مرحوں لامر الله اما ٮعدٮهم واما ٮٮوٮ علٮهم

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

والدٮں اٮحدوا مسحدا صرارا وكڡرا وٮڡرٮڡا ٮٮں المومٮٮں وارصادا لمں حارٮ الله ورسوله مں ڡٮل

they will surely take oaths: "We wanted only the best";

ولٮحلڡں اں اردٮا الا الحسٮى

Never maintain yourself therein.

لا ٮڡم ڡٮه اٮدا

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

لمسحد اسس على الٮڡوى مں اول ٮوم احٯ اں ٮڡوم ڡٮه

In it are men who love to purify themselves.

ڡٮه رحال ٮحٮوں اں ٮٮطهروا

Is, then, one whose structure has been founded upon guardedness toward God and His good pleasure better, or one whose structure has been founded on the edge of a ravine about to cave in, which then caves in with him into the fire of Jahannam?

اڡمں اسس ٮٮٮٮه على ٮڡوى مں الله ورصوں حٮر ام مں اسس ٮٮٮٮه على سڡا حرڡ هار ڡاٮهار ٮه ڡى ٮار حهٮم

The structure they built does not cease to be a doubt in their cores, unless their cores break into pieces.

لا ٮرال ٮٮٮٮهم الدى ٮٮوا رٮٮه ڡى ڡلوٮهم الا اں ٮڡطع ڡلوٮهم

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

اں الله اسٮرى مں المومٮٮں اٮڡسهم وامولهم ٮاں لهم الحٮه

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

ٮڡٮلوں ڡى سٮٮل الله ڡٮڡٮلوں وٮڡٮلوں وعدا علٮه حڡا ڡى الٮورٮه والاٮحٮل والڡراں

And who is more faithful to his pact than God?

ومں اوڡى ٮعهده مں الله

So exult in the sale you have made with Him,

ڡاسٮٮسروا ٮٮٮعكم الدى ٮاٮعٮم ٮه

Those who turn back, who obey, who praise, who journey, who kneel, who prostrate, who order what is recognized and forbid what is disavowed, and who preserve the limits of God —

الٮٮٮوں العٮدوں الحمدوں السٮحوں الركعوں السحدوں الامروں ٮالمعروڡ والٮاهوں عں المٮكر والحڡطوں لحدود الله

And Ibrahim asked forgiveness for his father only because of a promise he had made him;

وما كاں اسٮعڡار اٮرهٮم لاٮٮه الا عں موعده وعدها اٮاه

but when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of God, he declared himself quit of him.

ڡلما ٮٮٮں له اٮه عدو لله ٮٮرا مٮه

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

وما كاں الله لٮصل ڡوما ٮعد اد هدٮهم حٮى ٮٮٮں لهم ما ٮٮڡوں

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

اں الله له ملك السموٮ والارص

He gives life and causes death.

ٮحى وٮمٮٮ

God has indeed turned with clemency toward the Informant, the emigrants, and the Auxiliaries, who followed him in the hour of hardship, after the cores of a fraction among them had almost deviated; then He turned toward them with clemency — He is, toward them, full of kindness, Benevolent — and toward the three who had been left behind,

لڡد ٮاٮ الله على الٮٮى والمهحرٮں والاٮصار الدٮں اٮٮعوه ڡى ساعه العسره مں ٮعد ما كاد ٮرٮع ڡلوٮ ڡرٮٯ مٮهم ٮم ٮاٮ علٮهم اٮه ٮهم روڡ رحٮم وعلى الٮلٮه الدٮں حلڡوا

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

حٮى ادا صاڡٮ علٮهم الارص ٮما رحٮٮ وصاڡٮ علٮهم اٮڡسهم وطٮوا اں لا ملحا مں الله الا الٮه ٮم ٮاٮ علٮهم لٮٮوٮوا

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

ما كاں لاهل المدٮٮه ومں حولهم مں الاعراٮ اں ٮٮحلڡوا عں رسول الله ولا ٮرعٮوا ٮاٮڡسهم عں ٮڡسه

That is because no thirst, no fatigue, no dearth touches them in the way of God, no step they tread irritates those who disown, and no gain from an enemy accrues to them, without a sound deed being inscribed for them because of it.

دلك ٮاٮهم لا ٮصٮٮهم طما ولا ٮصٮ ولا محمصه ڡى سٮٮل الله ولا ٮطوں موطٮا ٮعٮط الكڡار ولا ٮٮالوں مں عدو ٮٮلا الا كٮٮ لهم ٮه عمل صلح

And they do not spend any expenditure, small or great, nor do they cut off traffic in any valley, without it being inscribed for them,

ولا ٮٮڡڡوں ٮڡڡه صعٮره ولا كٮٮره ولا ٮڡطعوں وادٮا الا كٮٮ لهم

It was not for the believers to mobilize all together.

وما كاں المومٮوں لٮٮڡروا كاڡه

O you who have believed! Fight those among the disowners who are near you, and let them find in you firmness.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا ڡٮلوا الدٮں ٮلوٮكم مں الكڡار ولٮحدوا ڡٮكم علطه

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

وادا ما اٮرلٮ سوره ڡمٮهم مں ٮڡول اٮكم رادٮه هده اٮمٮا

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

وادا ما اٮرلٮ سوره ٮطر ٮعصهم الى ٮعص هل ٮرٮكم مں احد ٮم اٮصرڡوا

A messenger has indeed come to you, from among yourselves; it is grievous to him that you should be overwhelmed,

لڡد حاكم رسول مں اٮڡسكم عرٮر علٮه ما عٮٮم

solicitous for you,

حرٮص علٮكم

If they turn their backs, say then: "God suffices me;

ڡاں ٮولوا ڡڡل حسٮى الله

there is no deity but Him;

لا اله الا هو

to Him I entrust myself,

علٮه ٮوكلٮ
