بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يسألونك عن الأنفال ۖ قل الأنفال لله والرسول ۖ فاتقوا الله وأصلحوا ذات بينكم ۖ وأطيعوا الله ورسوله إن كنتم مؤمنين
Yusuf Ali
They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe."
إنما المؤمنون الذين إذا ذكر الله وجلت قلوبهم وإذا تليت عليهم آياته زادتهم إيمانا وعلى ربهم يتوكلون
Yusuf Ali
For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord;
وإذ يعدكم الله إحدى الطائفتين أنها لكم وتودون أن غير ذات الشوكة تكون لكم ويريد الله أن يحق الحق بكلماته ويقطع دابر الكافرين
Yusuf Ali
Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers; -
وما جعله الله إلا بشرى ولتطمئن به قلوبكم ۚ وما النصر إلا من عند الله ۚ إن الله عزيز حكيم
Yusuf Ali
Allah made it but a message of hope, and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah: and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
إذ يغشيكم النعاس أمنة منه وينزل عليكم من السماء ماء ليطهركم به ويذهب عنكم رجز الشيطان وليربط على قلوبكم ويثبت به الأقدام
Yusuf Ali
Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from Himself, and he caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to strengthen your hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith.
إذ يوحي ربك إلى الملائكة أني معكم فثبتوا الذين آمنوا ۚ سألقي في قلوب الذين كفروا الرعب فاضربوا فوق الأعناق واضربوا منهم كل بنان
Yusuf Ali
Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger - tips off them."
ومن يولهم يومئذ دبره إلا متحرفا لقتال أو متحيزا إلى فئة فقد باء بغضب من الله ومأواه جهنم ۖ وبئس المصير
Yusuf Ali
If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own) - he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell, - an evil refuge (indeed)!
فلم تقتلوهم ولكن الله قتلهم ۚ وما رميت إذ رميت ولكن الله رمى ۚ وليبلي المؤمنين منه بلاء حسنا ۚ إن الله سميع عليم
Yusuf Ali
It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).
إن تستفتحوا فقد جاءكم الفتح ۖ وإن تنتهوا فهو خير لكم ۖ وإن تعودوا نعد ولن تغني عنكم فئتكم شيئا ولو كثرت وأن الله مع المؤمنين
Yusuf Ali
(O Unbelievers!) if ye prayed for victory and judgment, now hath the judgment come to you: if ye desist (from wrong), it will be best for you: if ye return (to the attack), so shall We. Not the least good will your forces be to you even if they were multiplied: for verily Allah is with those who believe!
ولو علم الله فيهم خيرا لأسمعهم ۖ ولو أسمعهم لتولوا وهم معرضون
Yusuf Ali
If Allah had found in them any good. He would indeed have made them listen: (As it is), if He had made them listen, they would but have turned back and declined (Faith).
يا أيها الذين آمنوا استجيبوا لله وللرسول إذا دعاكم لما يحييكم ۖ واعلموا أن الله يحول بين المرء وقلبه وأنه إليه تحشرون
Yusuf Ali
O ye who believe! give your response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calleth you to that which will give you life; and know that Allah cometh in between a man and his heart, and that it is He to Whom ye shall (all) be gathered.
واذكروا إذ أنتم قليل مستضعفون في الأرض تخافون أن يتخطفكم الناس فآواكم وأيدكم بنصره ورزقكم من الطيبات لعلكم تشكرون
Yusuf Ali
Call to mind when ye were a small (band), despised through the land, and afraid that men might despoil and kidnap you; But He provided a safe asylum for you, strengthened you with His aid, and gave you Good things for sustenance: that ye might be grateful.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا إن تتقوا الله يجعل لكم فرقانا ويكفر عنكم سيئاتكم ويغفر لكم ۗ والله ذو الفضل العظيم
Yusuf Ali
O ye who believe! if ye fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion (to judge between right and wrong), remove from you (all) evil (that may afflict) you, and forgive you: for Allah is the Lord of grace unbounded.
وإذ يمكر بك الذين كفروا ليثبتوك أو يقتلوك أو يخرجوك ۚ ويمكرون ويمكر الله ۖ والله خير الماكرين
Yusuf Ali
Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah.
وإذا تتلى عليهم آياتنا قالوا قد سمعنا لو نشاء لقلنا مثل هذا ۙ إن هذا إلا أساطير الأولين
Yusuf Ali
When Our Signs are rehearsed to them, they say: "We have heard this (before): if we wished, we could say (words) like these: these are nothing but tales of the ancients."
وإذ قالوا اللهم إن كان هذا هو الحق من عندك فأمطر علينا حجارة من السماء أو ائتنا بعذاب أليم
Yusuf Ali
Remember how they said: "O Allah if this is indeed the Truth from Thee, rain down on us a shower of stones form the sky, or send us a grievous penalty."
وما لهم ألا يعذبهم الله وهم يصدون عن المسجد الحرام وما كانوا أولياءه ۚ إن أولياؤه إلا المتقون ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Yusuf Ali
But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.
وما كان صلاتهم عند البيت إلا مكاء وتصدية ۚ فذوقوا العذاب بما كنتم تكفرون
Yusuf Ali
Their prayer at the House (of Allah) is nothing but whistling and clapping of hands: (Its only answer can be), "Taste ye the penalty because ye blasphemed."
إن الذين كفروا ينفقون أموالهم ليصدوا عن سبيل الله ۚ فسينفقونها ثم تكون عليهم حسرة ثم يغلبون ۗ والذين كفروا إلى جهنم يحشرون
Yusuf Ali
The Unbelievers spend their wealth to hinder (man) from the path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell; -
ليميز الله الخبيث من الطيب ويجعل الخبيث بعضه على بعض فيركمه جميعا فيجعله في جهنم ۚ أولئك هم الخاسرون
Yusuf Ali
In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, put the impure, one on another, heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost.
قل للذين كفروا إن ينتهوا يغفر لهم ما قد سلف وإن يعودوا فقد مضت سنت الأولين
Yusuf Ali
Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them).
وقاتلوهم حتى لا تكون فتنة ويكون الدين كله لله ۚ فإن انتهوا فإن الله بما يعملون بصير
Yusuf Ali
And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.
۞ واعلموا أنما غنمتم من شيء فأن لله خمسه وللرسول ولذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل إن كنتم آمنتم بالله وما أنزلنا على عبدنا يوم الفرقان يوم التقى الجمعان ۗ والله على كل شيء قدير
Yusuf Ali
And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah, - and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer, - if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing, - the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
إذ أنتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب أسفل منكم ۚ ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ۙ ولكن ليقضي الله أمرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة ۗ وإن الله لسميع عليم
Yusuf Ali
Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But (thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).
إذ يريكهم الله في منامك قليلا ۖ ولو أراكهم كثيرا لفشلتم ولتنازعتم في الأمر ولكن الله سلم ۗ إنه عليم بذات الصدور
Yusuf Ali
Remember in thy dream Allah showed them to thee as few: if He had shown them to thee as many, ye would surely have been discouraged, and ye would surely have disputed in (your) decision; but Allah saved (you): for He knoweth well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.
وإذ يريكموهم إذ التقيتم في أعينكم قليلا ويقللكم في أعينهم ليقضي الله أمرا كان مفعولا ۗ وإلى الله ترجع الأمور
Yusuf Ali
And remember when ye met, He showed them to you as few in your eyes, and He made you appear as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted. For to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).
وأطيعوا الله ورسوله ولا تنازعوا فتفشلوا وتذهب ريحكم ۖ واصبروا ۚ إن الله مع الصابرين
Yusuf Ali
And obey Allah and His Messenger; and fall into no disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart; and be patient and persevering: For Allah is with those who patiently persevere:
ولا تكونوا كالذين خرجوا من ديارهم بطرا ورئاء الناس ويصدون عن سبيل الله ۚ والله بما يعملون محيط
Yusuf Ali
And be not like those who started from their homes insolently and to be seen of men, and to hinder (men) from the path of Allah: For Allah compasseth round about all that they do.
وإذ زين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم وقال لا غالب لكم اليوم من الناس وإني جار لكم ۖ فلما تراءت الفئتان نكص على عقبيه وقال إني بريء منكم إني أرى ما لا ترون إني أخاف الله ۚ والله شديد العقاب
Yusuf Ali
Remember Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them, and said: "No one among men can overcome you this day, while I am near to you": But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said: "Lo! I am clear of you; lo! I see what ye see not; Lo! I fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment."
إذ يقول المنافقون والذين في قلوبهم مرض غر هؤلاء دينهم ۗ ومن يتوكل على الله فإن الله عزيز حكيم
Yusuf Ali
Lo! the hypocrites say, and those in whose hearts is a disease: "These people, - their religion has misled them." But if any trust in Allah, behold! Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
ولو ترى إذ يتوفى الذين كفروا ۙ الملائكة يضربون وجوههم وأدبارهم وذوقوا عذاب الحريق
Yusuf Ali
If thou couldst see, when the angels take the souls of the Unbelievers (at death), (How) they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): "Taste the penalty of the blazing Fire -
كدأب آل فرعون ۙ والذين من قبلهم ۚ كفروا بآيات الله فأخذهم الله بذنوبهم ۗ إن الله قوي شديد العقاب
Yusuf Ali
"(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them: They rejected the Signs of Allah, and Allah punished them for their crimes: for Allah is Strong, and Strict in punishment:
ذلك بأن الله لم يك مغيرا نعمة أنعمها على قوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم ۙ وأن الله سميع عليم
Yusuf Ali
"Because Allah will never change the grace which He hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls: and verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things)."
كدأب آل فرعون ۙ والذين من قبلهم ۚ كذبوا بآيات ربهم فأهلكناهم بذنوبهم وأغرقنا آل فرعون ۚ وكل كانوا ظالمين
Yusuf Ali
(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them": They treated as false the Signs of their Lord: so We destroyed them for their crimes, and We drowned the people of Pharaoh: for they were all oppressors and wrong - doers.
وأعدوا لهم ما استطعتم من قوة ومن رباط الخيل ترهبون به عدو الله وعدوكم وآخرين من دونهم لا تعلمونهم الله يعلمهم ۚ وما تنفقوا من شيء في سبيل الله يوف إليكم وأنتم لا تظلمون
Yusuf Ali
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.
وإن يريدوا أن يخدعوك فإن حسبك الله ۚ هو الذي أيدك بنصره وبالمؤمنين
Yusuf Ali
Should they intend to deceive thee, - verily Allah sufficeth thee: He it is That hath strengthened thee with His aid and with (the company of) the Believers;
وألف بين قلوبهم ۚ لو أنفقت ما في الأرض جميعا ما ألفت بين قلوبهم ولكن الله ألف بينهم ۚ إنه عزيز حكيم
Yusuf Ali
And (moreover) He hath put affection between their hearts: not if thou hadst spent all that is in the earth, couldst thou have produced that affection, but Allah hath done it: for He is Exalted in might, Wise.
يا أيها النبي حرض المؤمنين على القتال ۚ إن يكن منكم عشرون صابرون يغلبوا مائتين ۚ وإن يكن منكم مائة يغلبوا ألفا من الذين كفروا بأنهم قوم لا يفقهون
Yusuf Ali
O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
الآن خفف الله عنكم وعلم أن فيكم ضعفا ۚ فإن يكن منكم مائة صابرة يغلبوا مائتين ۚ وإن يكن منكم ألف يغلبوا ألفين بإذن الله ۗ والله مع الصابرين
Yusuf Ali
For the present, Allah hath lightened your (task), for He knoweth that there is a weak spot in you: But (even so), if there are a hundred of you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred, and if a thousand, they will vanquish two thousand, with the leave of Allah: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.
ما كان لنبي أن يكون له أسرى حتى يثخن في الأرض ۚ تريدون عرض الدنيا والله يريد الآخرة ۗ والله عزيز حكيم
Yusuf Ali
It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
يا أيها النبي قل لمن في أيديكم من الأسرى إن يعلم الله في قلوبكم خيرا يؤتكم خيرا مما أخذ منكم ويغفر لكم ۗ والله غفور رحيم
Yusuf Ali
O Prophet! say to those who are captives in your hands: "If Allah findeth any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you: for Allah is Oft - forgiving, Most Merciful."
وإن يريدوا خيانتك فقد خانوا الله من قبل فأمكن منهم ۗ والله عليم حكيم
Yusuf Ali
But if they have treacherous designs against thee, (O Messenger!), they have already been in treason against Allah, and so hath He given (thee) power over them. And Allah so He Who hath (full) knowledge and wisdom.
إن الذين آمنوا وهاجروا وجاهدوا بأموالهم وأنفسهم في سبيل الله والذين آووا ونصروا أولئك بعضهم أولياء بعض ۚ والذين آمنوا ولم يهاجروا ما لكم من ولايتهم من شيء حتى يهاجروا ۚ وإن استنصروكم في الدين فعليكم النصر إلا على قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثاق ۗ والله بما تعملون بصير
Yusuf Ali
Those who believed, and adopted exile, and fought for the Faith, with their property and their persons, in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid, - these are (all) friends and protectors, one of another. As to those who believed but came not into exile, ye owe no duty of protection to them until they come into exile; but if they seek your aid in religion, it is your duty to help them, except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance. And (remember) Allah seeth all that ye do.
والذين كفروا بعضهم أولياء بعض ۚ إلا تفعلوه تكن فتنة في الأرض وفساد كبير
Yusuf Ali
The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each other), there would be tumult and oppression on earth, and great mischief.
والذين آمنوا وهاجروا وجاهدوا في سبيل الله والذين آووا ونصروا أولئك هم المؤمنون حقا ۚ لهم مغفرة ورزق كريم
Yusuf Ali
Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith, in the cause of Allah as well as those who give (them) asylum and aid, - these are (all) in very truth the Believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and a provision most generous.
والذين آمنوا من بعد وهاجروا وجاهدوا معكم فأولئك منكم ۚ وأولو الأرحام بعضهم أولى ببعض في كتاب الله ۗ إن الله بكل شيء عليم
Yusuf Ali
And those who accept Faith subsequently, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith in your company, - they are of you. But kindred by blood have prior rights against each other in the Book of Allah. Verily Allah is well - acquainted with all things.
