| 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 has 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 Apostle: and if anyone resists Allah verily Allah is severe in Punishment. | ||
| 5 | Whether ye cut down ( o ye Muslims! ) 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 transgressors. | ||
| 6 | What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle ( 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 Apostle ( and taken away ) from the people of the townships belongs to Allah to His Apostle and to kindred and orphans the needy and the wayfarer; in order that it may not ( Merely ) make a circuit between the wealth among you. So take what the Apostle 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 Apostle: 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 rancor ( 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 anyone 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 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 ) they ye do. | ||
| 19 | And be ye not like those who forget 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 would 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 colors ). 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. | ||
