In the name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Whatever is
in the heavens and on earth, let it declare the Praises and Glory of Allah. for
He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
2. It is He Who
got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the
first gathering (of the forces). Little did ye think that they would get out:
And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah. But the
(Wrath of) Allah came to them from quarters from which they little expected
(it), and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their dwellings
by their own hands and the hands of the Believers, take warning, then, O ye
with eyes (to see)!
3. And had it
not been that Allah had decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have
punished them in this world: And in the Hereafter they shall (certainly) have
the Punishment of the Fire.
4. That is
because they resisted Allah and His Messenger. and if any one resists Allah,
verily Allah is severe in Punishment.
5. Whether ye
cut down (O ye Muslim!) The tender palm-trees, or ye left them standing on
their roots, it was by leave of Allah, and in order that He might cover with
shame the rebellious transgresses.
6. What Allah
has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from them - for this ye made no
expedition with either cavalry or camelry: but Allah gives power to His
apostles over any He pleases: and Allah has power over all things.
7. What Allah
has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the
townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the
needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit
between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and
deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah. for Allah is
strict in Punishment.
8. (Some part
is due) to the indigent Muhajirs, those who were expelled from their homes and
their property, while seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure, and
aiding Allah and His Messenger. such are indeed the sincere ones:-
9. But those
who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith,- show their
affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their
hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over
themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from the
covetousness of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
10. And those
who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came
before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of
injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art indeed Full of
Kindness, Most Merciful."
11. Hast thou
not observed the Hypocrites say to their misbelieving brethren among the People
of the Book? - "If ye are expelled, we too will go out with you, and we
will never hearken to any one in your affair; and if ye are attacked (in fight)
we will help you". But Allah is witness that they are indeed liars.
12. If they are
expelled, never will they go out with them; and if they are attacked (in
fight), they will never help them; and if they do help them, they will turn
their backs; so they will receive no help.
13. Of a truth
ye are stronger (than they) because of the terror in their hearts, (sent) by
Allah. This is because they are men devoid of understanding.
14. They will
not fight you (even) together, except in fortified townships, or from behind
walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) amongst themselves: thou wouldst think
they were united, but their hearts are divided: that is because they are a
people devoid of wisdom.
15. Like those
who lately preceded them, they have tasted the evil result of their conduct;
and (in the Hereafter there is) for them a grievous Penalty;-
16. (Their
allies deceived them), like the Evil One, when he says to man, "Deny
Allah.: but when (man) denies Allah, (the Evil One) says, "I am free of
thee: I do fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"
17. The end of
both will be that they will go into the Fire, dwelling therein for ever. Such
is the reward of the wrong-doers.
18. O ye who
believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what (provision) He has sent
forth for the morrow. Yea, fear Allah. for Allah is well-acquainted with (all)
that ye do.
19. And be ye
not like those who forgot Allah. and He made them forget their own souls! Such
are the rebellious transgressors!
20. Not equal
are the Companions of the Fire and the Companions of the Garden: it is the
Companions of the Garden, that will achieve Felicity.
21. Had We sent
down this Qur'an on a mountain, verily, thou wouldst have seen it humble itself
and cleave asunder for fear of Allah. Such are the similitudes which We
propound to men, that they may reflect.
22. Allah is He,
than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open;
He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
23. Allah is He,
than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of
Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the
Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah. (High is He)
above the partners they attribute to Him.
24. He is Allah,
the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the
Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His
Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
