Al-Tauba / The Immunity -
Translated by Abdullah Yousefali
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.
1 |
A (declaration) of immunity from
Allah and His apostle to those
of the pagans with whom ye have
contracted mutual alliances. |
2 |
Go ye then for four months
backwards and forwards (as ye
will) throughout the land but
know ye that ye cannot frustrate
Allah (by your falsehood) but
that Allah will cover with shame
those who reject him. |
3 |
And an announcement from Allah
and His apostle to the people
(assembled) on the day of the
Great Pilgrimage that Allah and
His apostle dissolve (treaty)
obligations with the pagans. If
then ye repent it were best for
you; but if ye turn away know ye
that ye cannot frustrate Allah.
And proclaim a grievous penalty
to those who reject faith. |
4 |
(But the treaties are) not
dissolved with those pagans with
whom Ye have entered into
alliance and who have not
subsequently failed you in aught
nor aided anyone against you. So
fulfil your engagements with
them to the end of their term:
for Allah loveth the righteous. |
5 |
But when the forbidden months
are past then fight and slay the
pagans wherever ye find them and
seize them beleaguer them and
lie in wait for them in every
stratagem (of war); but if they
repent and establish regular
prayers and practice regular
charity then open the way for
them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful. |
6 |
If one amongst the pagans ask
thee for asylum grant it to him
so that he may hear the word of
Allah and then escort him to
where he can be secure: that is
because they are men without
knowledge. |
7 |
How can there be a league before
Allah and His apostle with the
pagans except those with whom ye
made a treaty near the sacred
mosque? As long as these stand
true to you stand ye true to
them: For Allah doth love the
righteous. |
8 |
How (can there be such a league)
seeing that if they get an
advantage over you they respect
not in you the ties either of
kinship or of covenant? With
(fair words from) their mouths
they entice you but their hearts
are averse from you; and most of
them are rebellious and wicked. |
9 |
The signs of Allah have they
sold for a miserable price and
(many) have they hindered from
His way: evil indeed are the
deeds they have done. |
10 |
In a believer they respect not
the ties either of kinship or of
covenant! It is they who have
transgressed all bounds. |
11 |
But (even so) if they repent
establish regular prayers and
practice regular charity they
are your brethren in faith:
(thus) do We explain signs in
detail for those who understand. |
12 |
But if they violate their oaths
after their covenant and taunt
you for your faith fight ye the
chiefs of unfaith: for their
oaths are nothing to them: that
thus they may be restrained. |
13 |
Will ye not fight people who
violated their oaths plotted to
expel the apostle and took the
aggressive by being the first
(to assault) you? Do ye fear
them? Nay it is Allah whom ye
should more justly fear if ye
believe! |
14 |
Fight them and Allah will punish
them by your hands cover them
with shame help you (to victory)
over them heal the breasts of
believers. |
15 |
And still the indignation of
their hearts. For Allah will
turn (in mercy) To whom He will;
and Allah Is All-Knowing
All-Wise. |
16 |
Or think ye that ye Shall be
abandoned as though Allah did
not know those among you who
strive with might and main and
take none for friends and
protectors except Allah his
apostle and the (community of)
believers? But Allah is
well-acquainted with (all) that
ye do. |
17 |
It is not for such as join gods
with Allah to visit or maintain
the mosques of Allah while they
witness against their own souls
to infidelity. The works of such
bear no fruit: in fire shall
they dwell. |
18 |
The mosques of Allah shall be
visited and maintained by such
as believe in Allah and the Last
Day establish regular prayers
and practice regular charity and
fear none (at all) except Allah.
It is they who are expected to
be on true guidance. |
19 |
Do ye make the giving of drink
to pilgrims or the maintenance
of the Sacred Mosque equal to
(the pious service of) those who
believe in Allah and the Last
Day and strive with might and
main in the cause of Allah? They
are not comparable in the sight
of Allah: and Allah guides not
those who do wrong. |
20 |
Those who believe and suffer
exile and strive with might and
main in Allah's cause with their
goods and their persons have the
highest rank in the sight of
Allah: They are the people who
will achieve (salvation). |
21 |
Their Lord doth give them Glad
tidings of a Mercy from Himself
of His good pleasure and of
gardens for them wherein are
delights that endure. |
22 |
They will dwell therein forever.
Verily in Allah's presence is a
reward the greatest (of all). |
23 |
O ye who believe! take not for
protectors your fathers and your
brothers if they love infidelity
above faith: if any of you do so
they do wrong. |
24 |
Say: If it be that your fathers
your sons your brothers your
mates or your kindred; the
wealth that ye have gained; the
commerce in which ye fear a
decline; or the dwellings in
which ye delight are dearer to
you than Allah or His apostle or
the striving in his cause; then
wait until Allah brings about
His decision: and Allah guides
not the rebellious. |
25 |
Assuredly Allah did help you in
many battle-fields and on the
day of Hunain: Behold! your
great numbers elated you but
they availed you naught: the
land for all that it is wide did
constrain you and ye turned back
in retreat. |
26 |
But Allah did pour His calm on
the apostle and on the believers
and sent down forces which ye
saw not: He punished the
unbelievers: thus doth He reward
those without faith. |
27 |
Again will Allah after this turn
(in mercy) to whom He will: for
Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most
Merciful. |
28 |
O ye who believe! truly the
pagans are unclean; so let them
not after this year of theirs
approach the Sacred Mosque. And
if ye fear poverty soon will
Allah enrich you if He wills out
of his bounty for Allah is
All-Knowing All-Wise. |
29 |
Fight those who believe not in
Allah nor the Last Day nor hold
that forbidden which hath been
forbidden by Allah and His
apostle nor acknowledge the
religion of truth (even if they
are) of the People of the Book
until they pay the Jizya with
willing submission and feel
themselves subdued. |
30 |
The Jews call Uzair a son of
Allah and the Christians call
Christ the son of Allah. That is
a saying from their mouths; (in
this) they but imitate what the
unbelievers of old used to say.
Allah's curse be on them: how
they are deluded away from the
truth! |
31 |
They take their priests and
their anchorites to be their
lords in derogation of Allah and
(they take as their Lord) Christ
the son of Mary; Yet they were
commanded to worship but one
Allah: there is no god but He.
Praise and glory to him: (far is
He) from having the parents they
associate (with him). |
32 |
Fain would they extinguish
Allah's light with their mouths
but Allah will not allow but
that His light should be
perfected even though the
unbelievers may detest (it). |
33 |
It is He who hath sent His
apostle with guidance and
religion of truth to proclaim it
over all religions even though
the pagans may detest (it). |
34 |
O ye who believe! there are
indeed many among the priests
and anchorites who in false hood
devour the substance of men and
hinder (them) from the way of
Allah. And there are those who
bury gold and silver and spend
it not in the way of Allah:
announce unto them a most
grievous penalty. |
35 |
On the day when heat will be
produced out of that (wealth) in
the fire of hell and with it
will be branded their foreheads
their flanks and their backs
"this is the (treasure) which ye
buried for yourselves: taste ye
then the (treasures) ye buried!" |
36 |
The number of months in the
sight of Allah is twelve (in a
year) so ordained by Him the day
He created the heavens and the
earth; of them four are sacred;
that is the straight usage. So
wrong not yourselves therein and
fight the pagans all together as
they fight you all together. But
know that Allah is with those
who restrain themselves. |
37 |
Verily the transposing (of a
prohibited month) is an addition
to unbelief: the unbelievers are
led to wrong thereby: for they
make it lawful one year and
forbidden another year in order
to adjust the number of months
forbidden by Allah and make such
forbidden ones lawful. The evil
of their course seems pleasing
to them. But Allah guideth not
those who reject faith. |
38 |
O ye who believe! what is the
matter with you then when ye are
asked to go forth in the cause
of Allah ye cling heavily to the
earth? Do ye prefer the life of
this world to the hereafter? But
little is the comfort of this
life as compared with the
hereafter. |
39 |
Unless ye go forth He will
punish you with a grievous
penalty and put others in your
place; but Him ye would not harm
in the least. For Allah hath
power over all things. |
40 |
If ye help not (your Leader) (it
is no matter): for Allah did
indeed help him: when the
unbelievers drove him out: he
had no more than one companion:
they two were in the cave and he
said to his companion "have no
fear for Allah is with us": then
Allah sent down his peace upon
him and strengthened him with
forces which ye saw not and
humbled to the depths the word
of the unbelievers. But the word
of Allah is exalted to the
heights: for Allah is Exalted in
might Wise. |
41 |
Go ye forth (whether equipped)
lightly or heavily and strive
and struggle with your goods and
your persons in the cause of
Allah. That is best for you if
ye (but) knew. |
42 |
If there had been immediate gain
(in sight) and the journey easy
they would (all) without doubt
have followed thee but the
distance was long (and weighed)
on them. They would indeed swear
by Allah "If we only could we
should certainly have come out
with you" they would destroy
their own souls; for Allah doth
know that they are certainly
lying. |
43 |
Allah give thee grace! Why didst
thou grant them exemption until
those who told the truth were
seen by thee in a clear light
and thou hadst proved the liars? |
44 |
Those who believe in Allah and
the last day ask thee for no
exemption from fighting with
their goods and persons. And
Allah knoweth well those who do
their duty. |
45 |
Only those ask thee for
exemption who believe not in
Allah and the Last Day and whose
hearts are in doubt so that they
are tossed in their doubts to
and fro. |
46 |
If they had intended to come out
they would certainly have made
some preparation therefor; but
Allah was averse to their being
sent forth; so He made them lag
behind and they were told "sit
ye among those who sit
(inactive)." |
47 |
If they had come out with you
they would not have added to
your (strength) but only (made
for) disorder hurrying to and
fro in your midst and sowing
sedition among you and there
would have been some among you
who would have listened to them.
But Allah knoweth well those who
do wrong. |
48 |
Indeed they had plotted sedition
before and upset matters for
thee until The Truth arrived and
the Decree of Allah became
manifest much to their disgust. |
49 |
Among them is (many) a man who
says: "Grant me exemption and
draw me not into trial." Have
they not fallen into trial
already? And indeed hell
surrounds the unbelievers (on
all sides). |
50 |
If good befalls thee it grieves
them; but if a misfortune
befalls thee they say "we took
indeed our precautions
beforehand" and they turn away
rejoicing. |
51 |
Say: "Nothing will happen to us
except what Allah has decreed
for us: He is our protector":
and on Allah let the believers
put their trust. |
52 |
Say: "Can you expect for us (any
fate) other than one of two
glorious things (martyrdom or
victory)? But we can expect for
you either that Allah will send
His punishment form Himself or
by our hands. So wait
(expectant); we too will wait
with you." |
53 |
Say: "Spend (for the cause)
willingly or unwillingly: not
from you will it be accepted:
for ye are indeed a people
rebellious and wicked." |
54 |
The only reasons why their
contributions are not accepted
are: that they reject Allah and
His apostle; that they come to
prayer without earnestness; and
that they offer contributions
unwillingly. |
55 |
Let not their wealth nor their
(following in) sons dazzle thee:
in reality Allah's plan is to
punish them with these things in
this life and that their souls
may perish in their (very)
denial of Allah. |
56 |
They swear by Allah that they
are indeed of you; but they are
not of you; yet they are afraid
(to appear in their true
colors). |
57 |
If they could find a place to
flee to or caves or a place of
concealment they would turn
straightway thereto with an
obstinate rush. |
58 |
And among them are men who
slander thee in the matter of
(the distribution of) the alms.
If they are given part thereof
they are pleased but if not
behold! they are indignant! |
59 |
If only they had been content
with what Allah and His apostle
gave them and had said
"sufficient unto us is Allah!
Allah and His apostle will soon
give us of his bounty: to Allah
do we turn our hopes!" (that
would have been the right
course). |
60 |
Alms are for the poor and the
needy and those employed to
administer the (funds); for
those whose hearts have been
(recently) reconciled (to
truth); for those in bondage and
in debt; in the cause of Allah;
and for the wayfarer: (thus is
it) ordained by Allah and Allah
is full of knowledge and wisdom. |
61 |
Among them are men who molest
the Prophet and say "he is (all)
ear." Say "he listens to what is
best for you; he believes in
Allah has faith in the believers
and is a Mercy to those of you
who believe": but those who
molest the apostle will have a
grievous penalty. |
62 |
To you they swear by Allah. In
order to please you: but it is
more fitting that they should
please Allah and His apostle if
they are believers. |
63 |
Know they not that for those who
oppose Allah and His apostle is
the fire of Hell? wherein they
shall dwell. That is the supreme
disgrace. |
64 |
The Hypocrites are afraid lest a
Surah should be sent down about
them showing them what is
(really passing) in their
hearts. Say: "Mock ye! but
verily Allah will bring to light
all that ye fear (should be
revealed)." |
65 |
If thou dost question them they
declare (with emphasis): "we
were only talking idly and in
play." Say: "was it at Allah and
His signs and His apostle that
ye were mocking?" |
66 |
Make ye no excuses: ye have
rejected faith after ye had
accepted it. If We pardon some
of you We will punish others
amongst you for that they are in
sin. |
67 |
The Hypocrites men and women
(have an understanding) with
each other: they enjoin evil and
forbid what in just and are
close with their hands. They
have forgotten Allah; so He hath
forgotten them. Verily the
Hypocrites are rebellious and
perverse. |
68 |
Allah hath promised the
Hypocrites men and women and the
rejecters of faith the fire of
hell: therein shall they dwell:
sufficient is it for them: for
them is the curse of Allah and
an enduring punishment |
69 |
As in the case of those before
you: they were mightier than you
in power and more flourishing in
wealth and children. They had
their enjoyment of their
portion: and ye have of yours as
did those before you; and ye
indulge in idle talk as they
did. They! their works are
fruitless in this world and in
the hereafter and they will lose
(all spiritual good). |
70 |
Hath not the story reached them
of those before them? The people
of Noah and Ad and Thamud; the
people of Abraham the men of
Madyan and the cities
overthrown. To them came their
apostles with clear signs. It is
not Allah who wrongs them but
they wrong their own souls. |
71 |
The believers men and women are
protectors one of another: they
enjoin what is just and forbid
what is evil: they observe
regular prayers practice regular
charity and obey Allah and His
apostle. On them will Allah pour
His mercy: for Allah is Exalted
in power Wise. |
72 |
Allah hath promised to believers
men and women gardens under
which rivers flow to dwell
therein and beautiful mansions
in gardens of everlasting bliss.
But the greatest bliss in the
Good Pleasure of Allah: that is
the supreme felicity. |
73 |
O Prophet! strive hard against
the unbelievers and the
Hypocrites and be firm against
them. Their abode is hell an
evil refuge indeed. |
74 |
They swear by Allah that they
said nothing (evil) but indeed
they uttered blasphemy and they
did it after accepting Islam;
and they meditated a plot which
they were enable to carry out:
this revenge of theirs was
(their) only return for the
bounty with which Allah and His
apostle had enriched them! If
they repent it will be best for
them; but if they turn back (to
their evil ways) Allah will
punish them with a grievous
penalty in this life and in the
hereafter: they shall have none
on earth to protect or help
them. |
75 |
Amongst them are men who made a
covenant with Allah that if He
bestowed on them of His bounty
they would give (largely) in
charity and be truly amongst
those who are righteous. |
76 |
But when He did bestow of His
bounty they became covetous and
turned back (from their
covenant) averse (from its
fulfillment). |
77 |
So He hath put as a consequence
hypocrisy into their hearts (to
last) till the day whereon they
shall meet Him: because they
broke their covenant with Allah
and because they lied (again and
again). |
78 |
Know they not that Allah doth
know their secret (thoughts) and
their secret counsels and that
Allah knoweth well all things
unseen? |
79 |
Those who slander such of the
believers as give themselves
freely to (deeds of) charity as
well as such as can find nothing
to give except the fruits of
their labor and throw ridicule
on them Allah will throw back
their ridicule on them: and they
shall have a grievous penalty. |
80 |
Whether thou ask for their
forgiveness or not (their sin is
unforgivable): if thou ask
seventy times for their
forgiveness Allah will not
forgive them: because they have
rejected Allah and His apostle;
and Allah guideth not those who
are perversely rebellious. |
81 |
Those who were left behind (in
the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced
in their inaction behind the
back of the apostle of Allah:
they hated to strive and fight
with their goods and their
persons in the cause of Allah:
they said "Go not forth in the
heat. Say "The fire of Hell is
fiercer in heat." If only they
could understand! |
82 |
Let them laugh a little: much
will they weep: a recompense for
the (evil) that they do. |
83 |
If then Allah bring thee back to
any of them and they ask thy
permission to come out (with
thee) say: "Never shall ye come
out with me nor fight an enemy
with me: for ye preferred to sit
inactive on the first occasion:
then sit ye (now) with those who
lag behind." |
84 |
Nor do thou ever pray for any of
them that dies nor stand at his
grave: for they rejected Allah
and His apostle and died in a
state of perverse rebellion. |
85 |
Nor let their wealth nor their
(following in) sons Dazzle thee:
Allah's plan is to punish them
with these things in this world
and that their souls may perish
in their (very) denial of Allah. |
86 |
When a Surah comes down
enjoining them to believe in
Allah and to strive and fight
along with his apostle those
with wealth and influence among
them ask thee for exemption and
say: "Leave us (behind): we
would be with those who sit (at
home)." |
87 |
They prefer to be with (the
women) who remain behind (at
home): their hearts are sealed
and so they understand not. |
88 |
But the apostle and those who
believe with him strive and
fight with their wealth and
their persons: for them are
(all) good things: and it is
they who will prosper. |
89 |
Allah hath prepared for them
gardens under which rivers flow
to dwell therein: that is the
supreme felicity. |
90 |
And there were among the desert
Arabs (also) Men who made
excuses and came to claim
exemption; and those who were
false to Allah and His apostle
(Merely) sat inactive. Soon will
a grievous penalty seize the
unbelievers among them. |
91 |
There is no blame on those who
are infirm or ill or who find no
resources to spend (on the
cause) if they are sincere (in
duty) to Allah and His apostle:
no ground (of complaint) can
there be against such as do
right: and Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. |
92 |
Nor (is there blame) on those
who came to thee to be provided
with mount and when thou saidst
"I can find no mounts for you"
they turned back their eyes
streaming with tears of grief
that they had no resources
wherewith to provide the
expenses. |
93 |
The ground (of complaint) is
against such as claim exemption
while they are rich. They prefer
to stay with the (women) who
remain behind: Allah hath sealed
their hearts; so they know not
(what they miss). |
94 |
They will present their excuses
to you when ye return to them.
Say thou: "Present no excuses:
we shall not believe you: Allah
hath already informed us of the
true state of matters concerning
you: it is your actions that
Allah and His apostle will
observe: in the end will ye be
brought back to Him who knoweth
what is hidden and what is open:
then will He show you the truth
of all that ye did. |
95 |
They will swear to you by Allah
when ye return to them that ye
may leave them alone. So leave
them alone: For they are an
abomination and Hell is their
dwelling place a fitting
recompense for the (evil) that
they did. |
96 |
They will swear unto you that ye
may be pleased with them but if
ye are pleased with them Allah
is not pleased with those who
disobey. |
97 |
The Arabs of the desert are the
worst in unbelief and hypocrisy
and most fitted to be in
ignorance of the command which
Allah hath sent down to his
apostle: but Allah is
All-Knowing All-Wise. |
98 |
Some of the desert Arabs Look
upon their payments as a fine
and watch for disasters for you:
on them be the disaster of evil:
for Allah is He that heareth and
knoweth (all things). |
99 |
But some of the desert Arabs
believe in Allah and The Last
Day and look on their payments
as pious gifts bringing them
nearer to Allah and obtaining
the prayers of the apostle. Aye
indeed they bring them nearer
(to Him): soon will Allah admit
them to His Mercy: for Allah is
Oft- Forgiving Most Merciful. |
100 |
The vanguard (of Islam) the
first of those who forsook
(their homes) and of those who
gave them aid and (also) those
who follow them in (all) good
deeds well pleased is Allah with
them as are they with him: for
them hath He prepared gardens
under which rivers flow to dwell
therein for ever: that is the
supreme felicity. |
101 |
Certain of the desert Arabs
round about you are hypocrites
as well as (desert Arabs) among
the Medina folk: they are
obstinate in hypocrisy: thou
knowest them not: We know them:
twice shall We punish them and
in addition shall they be sent
to a grievous penalty. |
102 |
Others (there are who) have
acknowledged their wrong-doings:
they have mixed an act that was
good with another that was evil.
Perhaps Allah will turn unto
them (in mercy): for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. |
103 |
Of their goods take alms that so
thou mightest purify and
sanctify them; and pray on their
behalf. Verily thy prayers are a
source of security for them: and
Allah is one who heareth and
knoweth. |
104 |
Know they not that Allah doth
accept repentance from His
votaries and receives their
gifts of charity and that Allah
is verily He the Oft- Returning
Most-Merciful? |
105 |
And say: "Work (righteousness):
soon will Allah observe your
work and His apostle and the
believers: soon will ye be
brought back to the knower of
what is hidden and what is open:
then will He show you the truth
of all that ye did." |
106 |
There are (yet) others held in
suspense for the command of
Allah whether He will punish
them or turn in mercy to them:
and Allah is All- Knowing Wise. |
107 |
And there are those who put up a
mosque by way of mischief and
infidelity to disunite the
believers and in preparation for
one who warred against Allah and
His apostle aforetime. They will
indeed swear that their
intention is nothing but good;
but Allah doth declare that they
are certainly liars. |
108 |
Never stand thou forth therein.
There is a mosque whose
foundation was laid from the
first day on piety; it is more
worthy of thy standing forth
(for prayer) therein. In it are
men who love to be purified; and
Allah loveth those who make
themselves pure. |
109 |
Which then is best? he that
layeth his foundation on piety
to Allah and His good pleasure?
or he that layeth his foundation
on an undermined sand-cliff
ready to crumble to pieces? And
it doth crumble to pieces with
him into the fire of Hell. And
Allah guideth not people that do
wrong. |
110 |
The foundation of those who so
build is never free from
suspicion and shakiness in their
hearts until their hearts are
cut to pieces. And Allah is
All-Knowing Wise. |
111 |
Allah hath purchased of the
believers their persons and
their good; for theirs (in
return) is the garden (of
Paradise): they fight in His
cause and slay and are slain: a
promise binding on Him in truth
through the Law the Gospel and
the Qur'an: and who is more
faithful to his covenant than
Allah? Then rejoice in the
bargain which ye have concluded:
that is the achievement supreme. |
112 |
Those that turn (to Allah) in
repentance: that serve Him and
praise Him; that wander in
devotion to the Cause of Allah;
that bow down and prostrate
themselves in prayer; that
enjoin good and forbid evil; and
observe the limits set by Allah;
(these do rejoice). So proclaim
the glad tidings to the
Believers. |
113 |
It is not fitting for the
prophet and those who believe
that they should pray for
forgiveness for pagans even
though they be of kin after it
is clear to them that they are
companions of the Fire. |
114 |
And Abraham prayed for his
father's forgiveness only
because of a promise he had made
to him. But when it became clear
to him that he was an enemy to
Allah he dissociated himself
from him: for Abraham was most
tender-hearted forbearing. |
115 |
And Allah will not mislead a
people after He hath Guided them
in order that He may make clear
to them what to fear (and avoid)
for Allah hath knowledge of all
things. |
116 |
Unto Allah belongeth the
dominion of the heavens and the
earth. He giveth life and He
taketh it. Except for Him ye
have no protector nor helper. |

Allah turned with favor to the
prophet the Muhajirs and the
Ansar who followed Him in a time
of distress after that the
hearts of a part of them had
nearly swerved (from duty); but
He turned to them (also): for He
is unto them Most Kind Most
Merciful. |
118 |
(He turned in mercy also) to the
three who were left Behind:
(they felt guilty) to such a
degree that the earth seemed
constrained to them for all its
speciousness and their (very)
souls seemed straitened to them
and they perceived that there is
no fleeing from Allah and no
refuge but to Himself. Then He
turned to them that they might
repent: for Allah is
Oft-Returning Most Merciful. |
119 |
O ye who believe! fear Allah and
be with those who are true (in
word and deed). |
120 |
It was not fitting for the
people of Medina and the bedouin
Arabs of the neighborhood to
refuse to follow Allah's Apostle
nor to prefer their own lives to
his: because nothing could they
suffer or do but was reckoned to
their credit as a deed of
righteousness whether they
suffered thirst or fatigue or
hunger in the cause of Allah or
trod paths to raise the ire of
the unbelievers or received any
injury whatever from an enemy:
for Allah suffereth not the
reward to be lost of those who
do good; |
121 |
Nor could they spend anything
(for the cause) small or great
nor cut across a valley but the
deed is inscribed to their
credit; that Allah might requite
their deed with the best
(possible reward). |
122 |
Nor should the believers all go
forth together: if a contingent
from every expedition remained
behind they could devote
themselves to studies in
religion and admonish the people
when they return to them that
thus they (may learn) to guard
themselves (against evil). |
123 |
O ye who believe! fight the
unbelievers who gird you about
and let them find firmness in
you; and know that Allah is with
those who fear him. |
124 |
Whenever there cometh down a
Surah some of them say: "which
of you has had his faith
increased by it? Yea those who
believe their faith is increased
and they do rejoice. |
125 |
But those in whose hearts is a
disease it will add doubt to
their doubt and they will die in
a state of unbelief. |
126 |
See they not that they are tried
every year once or twice? Yet
they turn not in repentance and
they take no heed. |
127 |
Whenever there cometh down a
Surah they look at each other
(saying) "doth anyone see you?"
Then they turn aside: Allah hath
turned their hearts (from the
light); for they are a people
that understand not. |
128 |
Now hath come unto you an
apostle from amongst yourselves:
it grieves him that ye should
perish: ardently anxious is he
over you: to the believers is he
most kind and merciful. |
129 |
But if they turn away Say :
"Allah sufficeth me: There is
not god but He: On Him is my
trust - He the Lord of the
Throne (Of Glory) Supreme! |
