بَرَآءَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۤ اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتُّمْ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ۟ؕ
[This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allāh and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists.
فَسِیْحُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَّاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ غَیْرُ مُعْجِزِی اللّٰهِ ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْزِی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟
So travel freely, [O disbelievers], throughout the land [during] four months but know that you cannot cause failure to Allāh and that Allāh will disgrace the disbelievers.
وَاَذَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۤ اِلَی النَّاسِ یَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الْاَكْبَرِ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ۙ۬ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ؕ فَاِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ غَیْرُ مُعْجِزِی اللّٰهِ ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
And [it is] an announcement from Allāh and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allāh is disassociated from the disbelievers, and [so is] His Messenger. So if you repent, that is best for you; but if you turn away - then know that you will not cause failure to Allāh. And give tidings to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment.
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتُّمْ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَنْقُصُوْكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّلَمْ یُظَاهِرُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ اَحَدًا فَاَتِمُّوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ اِلٰی مُدَّتِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟
Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allāh loves the righteous [who fear Him].
فَاِذَا انْسَلَخَ الْاَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ حَیْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ وَخُذُوْهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوْهُمْ وَاقْعُدُوْا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ ۚ فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَخَلُّوْا سَبِیْلَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟
And when the inviolable months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَاِنْ اَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَاَجِرْهُ حَتّٰی یَسْمَعَ كَلٰمَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ اَبْلِغْهُ مَاْمَنَهٗ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟۠
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allāh [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.
كَیْفَ یَكُوْنُ لِلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ عَهْدٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنْدَ رَسُوْلِهٖۤ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتُّمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۚ فَمَا اسْتَقَامُوْا لَكُمْ فَاسْتَقِیْمُوْا لَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟
How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allāh and with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at al-Masjid al-Ḥarām? So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves the righteous [who fear Him].
كَیْفَ وَاِنْ یَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ لَا یَرْقُبُوْا فِیْكُمْ اِلًّا وَّلَا ذِمَّةً ؕ یُرْضُوْنَكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَاْبٰی قُلُوْبُهُمْ ۚ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ ۟ۚ
How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.
اِشْتَرَوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟
They have exchanged the signs of Allāh for a small price and averted [people] from His way. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.
لَا یَرْقُبُوْنَ فِیْ مُؤْمِنٍ اِلًّا وَّلَا ذِمَّةً ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُوْنَ ۟
They do not observe toward a believer any pact of kinship or covenant of protection. And it is they who are the transgressors.
فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ ؕ وَنُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ ۟
But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know.
وَاِنْ نَّكَثُوْۤا اَیْمَانَهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُوْا فِیْ دِیْنِكُمْ فَقَاتِلُوْۤا اَىِٕمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ ۙ اِنَّهُمْ لَاۤ اَیْمَانَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَنْتَهُوْنَ ۟
And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then combat the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease.
اَلَا تُقَاتِلُوْنَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُوْۤا اَیْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّوْا بِاِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُوْلِ وَهُمْ بَدَءُوْكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ؕ اَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ ۚ فَاللّٰهُ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَخْشَوْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟
Would you not fight against a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the Messenger, and they had begun [the attack upon] you the first time? Do you fear them? But Allāh has more right that you should fear Him, if you are [truly] believers.
قَاتِلُوْهُمْ یُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاَیْدِیْكُمْ وَیُخْزِهِمْ وَیَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَیْهِمْ وَیَشْفِ صُدُوْرَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۙ
Fight them; Allāh will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts [i.e., desires] of a believing people
وَیُذْهِبْ غَیْظَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَیَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟
And remove the fury in their [i.e., the believers'] hearts. And Allāh turns in forgiveness to whom He wills; and Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تُتْرَكُوْا وَلَمَّا یَعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ جٰهَدُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَلَمْ یَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا رَسُوْلِهٖ وَلَا الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَلِیْجَةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِیْرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۠
Do you think that you will be left [as you are] while Allāh has not yet made evident those among you who strive [for His cause] and do not take other than Allāh, His Messenger and the believers as intimates? And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.
مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ اَنْ یَّعْمُرُوْا مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ شٰهِدِیْنَ عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ ۖۚ وَفِی النَّارِ هُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟
It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allāh [while] witnessing against themselves with disbelief. [For] those, their deeds have become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide eternally.
اِنَّمَا یَعْمُرُ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَی الزَّكٰوةَ وَلَمْ یَخْشَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَعَسٰۤی اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِیْنَ ۟
The mosques of Allāh are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakāh and do not fear except Allāh, for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided.
اَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَایَةَ الْحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَجٰهَدَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ لَا یَسْتَوٗنَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟ۘ
Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Ḥarām equal to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allāh and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allāh? They are not equal in the sight of Allāh. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجٰهَدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ۙ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفَآىِٕزُوْنَ ۟
The ones who have believed, emigrated and striven in the cause of Allāh with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allāh. And it is those who are the attainers [of success].
یُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَّجَنّٰتٍ لَّهُمْ فِیْهَا نَعِیْمٌ مُّقِیْمٌ ۟ۙ
Their Lord gives them good tidings of mercy from Him and approval and of gardens for them wherein is enduring pleasure.
خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗۤ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟
[They will be] abiding therein forever. Indeed, Allāh has with Him a great reward.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۤا اٰبَآءَكُمْ وَاِخْوَانَكُمْ اَوْلِیَآءَ اِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَی الْاِیْمَانِ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّتَوَلَّهُمْ مِّنْكُمْ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۟
O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَاَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَاِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِیْرَتُكُمْ وَاَمْوَالُ قْتَرَفْتُمُوْهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسٰكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَاۤ اَحَبَّ اِلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَجِهَادٍ فِیْ سَبِیْلِهٖ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا حَتّٰی یَاْتِیَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ ۟۠
Say, [O Muḥammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allāh and His Messenger and jihād [i.e., striving] in His cause, then wait until Allāh executes His command. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."
لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ مَوَاطِنَ كَثِیْرَةٍ ۙ وَّیَوْمَ حُنَیْنٍ ۙ اِذْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّضَاقَتْ عَلَیْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّیْتُمْ مُّدْبِرِیْنَ ۟ۚ
Allāh has already given you victory in many regions and [even] on the day of Ḥunayn, when your great number pleased you, but it did not avail you at all, and the earth was confining for you with [i.e., in spite of] its vastness; then you turned back, fleeing.
ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِیْنَتَهٗ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِهٖ وَعَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَاَنْزَلَ جُنُوْدًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ؕ وَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟
Then Allāh sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers and sent down soldiers [i.e., angels] whom you did not see and punished those who disbelieved. And that is the recompense of the disbelievers.
ثُمَّ یَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟
Then Allāh will accept repentance after that for whom He wills; and Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا یَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هٰذَا ۚ وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَیْلَةً فَسَوْفَ یُغْنِیْكُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۤ اِنْ شَآءَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟
O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Ḥarām after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allāh will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
قَاتِلُوا الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا بِالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَلَا یُحَرِّمُوْنَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَلَا یَدِیْنُوْنَ دِیْنَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ حَتّٰی یُعْطُوا الْجِزْیَةَ عَنْ یَّدٍ وَّهُمْ صٰغِرُوْنَ ۟۠
Fight against those who do not believe in Allāh or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allāh and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [i.e., Islām] from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
وَقَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ عُزَیْرُ بْنُ اللّٰهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصٰرَی الْمَسِیْحُ ابْنُ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۚ یُضَاهِـُٔوْنَ قَوْلَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ؗۚ اَنّٰی یُؤْفَكُوْنَ ۟
The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allāh"; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allāh." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before [them]. May Allāh destroy them; how are they deluded?
اِتَّخَذُوْۤا اَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ اَرْبَابًا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَسِیْحَ ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ ۚ وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوْۤا اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًا ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ سُبْحٰنَهٗ عَمَّا یُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟
They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allāh, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.
یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یُّطْفِـُٔوْا نُوْرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَیَاْبَی اللّٰهُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّتِمَّ نُوْرَهٗ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ۟
They want to extinguish the light of Allāh with their mouths, but Allāh refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.
هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰی وَدِیْنِ الْحَقِّ لِیُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَی الدِّیْنِ كُلِّهٖ ۙ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟
It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allāh dislike it.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْاَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَیَاْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَیَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ یَكْنِزُوْنَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا یُنْفِقُوْنَهَا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۙ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the wealth of people unjustly and avert [them] from the way of Allāh. And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allāh - give them tidings of a painful punishment.
یَّوْمَ یُحْمٰی عَلَیْهَا فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوٰی بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوْبُهُمْ وَظُهُوْرُهُمْ ؕ هٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُوْنَ ۟
The Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and seared therewith will be their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, [it will be said], "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard."
اِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُوْرِ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِیْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ یَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ مِنْهَاۤ اَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الدِّیْنُ الْقَیِّمُ ۙ۬ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوْا فِیْهِنَّ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا یُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ كَآفَّةً ؕ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟
Indeed, the number of months with Allāh is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allāh [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion [i.e., way], so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allāh is with the righteous [who fear Him].
اِنَّمَا النَّسِیْٓءُ زِیَادَةٌ فِی الْكُفْرِ یُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُحِلُّوْنَهٗ عَامًا وَّیُحَرِّمُوْنَهٗ عَامًا لِّیُوَاطِـُٔوْا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ فَیُحِلُّوْا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ ؕ زُیِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ اَعْمَالِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟۠
Indeed, the postponing [of restriction within sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led [further] astray. They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year to correspond to the number made unlawful by Allāh and [thus] make lawful what Allāh has made unlawful. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ ؕ اَرَضِیْتُمْ بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ۟
O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allāh, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.
اِلَّا تَنْفِرُوْا یُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا ۙ۬ وَّیَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْهُ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟
If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allāh is over all things competent.
اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّٰهُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثَانِیَ اثْنَیْنِ اِذْ هُمَا فِی الْغَارِ اِذْ یَقُوْلُ لِصَاحِبِهٖ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَنَا ۚ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِیْنَتَهٗ عَلَیْهِ وَاَیَّدَهٗ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰی ؕ وَكَلِمَةُ اللّٰهِ هِیَ الْعُلْیَا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟
If you do not aid him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] - Allāh has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allāh is with us." And Allāh sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with soldiers [i.e., angels] you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allāh - that is the highest. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
اِنْفِرُوْا خِفَافًا وَّثِقَالًا وَّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟
Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allāh. That is better for you, if you only knew.
لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِیْبًا وَّسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَلٰكِنْ بَعُدَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ ؕ وَسَیَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ ۚ یُهْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ۟۠
Had it been a near [i.e., easy] gain and a moderate trip, they [i.e., the hypocrites] would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allāh, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allāh knows that indeed they are liars.
عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْكَ ۚ لِمَ اَذِنْتَ لَهُمْ حَتّٰی یَتَبَیَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَتَعْلَمَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ ۟
Allāh has pardoned you, [O Muḥammad, but] why did you give them permission [to remain behind]? [You should not have] until it was evident to you who were truthful and you knew [who were] the liars.
لَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ یُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟
Those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day would not ask permission of you to be excused from striving [i.e., fighting] with their wealth and their lives. And Allāh is Knowing of those who fear Him.
اِنَّمَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَارْتَابَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِیْ رَیْبِهِمْ یَتَرَدَّدُوْنَ ۟
Only those would ask permission of you who do not believe in Allāh and the Last Day and whose hearts have doubted, and they, in their doubt, are hesitating.
وَلَوْ اَرَادُوا الْخُرُوْجَ لَاَعَدُّوْا لَهٗ عُدَّةً وَّلٰكِنْ كَرِهَ اللّٰهُ انْۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِیْلَ اقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْقٰعِدِیْنَ ۟
And if they had intended to go forth, they would have prepared for it [some] preparation. But Allāh disliked their being sent, so He kept them back, and they were told, "Remain [behind] with those who remain."
لَوْ خَرَجُوْا فِیْكُمْ مَّا زَادُوْكُمْ اِلَّا خَبَالًا وَّلَاۡاَوْضَعُوْا خِلٰلَكُمْ یَبْغُوْنَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَ ۚ وَفِیْكُمْ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لَهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟
Had they gone forth with you, they would not have increased you except in confusion, and they would have been active among you, seeking [to cause] you fitnah [i.e., chaos and dissension]. And among you are avid listeners to them. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوْا لَكَ الْاُمُوْرَ حَتّٰی جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَهُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ ۟
They had already desired dissension before and had upset matters for you until the truth came and the ordinance [i.e., victory] of Allāh appeared, while they were averse.
وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّقُوْلُ ائْذَنْ لِّیْ وَلَا تَفْتِنِّیْ ؕ اَلَا فِی الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوْا ؕ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِیْطَةٌ بِالْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟
And among them is he who says, "Permit me [to remain at home] and do not put me to trial." Unquestionably, into trial they have fallen. And indeed, Hell will encompass the disbelievers.
اِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِیْبَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا قَدْ اَخَذْنَاۤ اَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَیَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ فَرِحُوْنَ ۟
If good befalls you, it distresses them; but if disaster strikes you, they say, "We took our matter [in hand] before," and turn away while they are rejoicing.
