Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Shakir
(As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way, He shall render their works ineffective.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah, and in the Message of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah (Islamic Monotheism), He will render their deeds vain.
Shakir
And (as for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad, and it is the very truth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
But those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and believe in that which is sent down to Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) - for it is the truth from their Lord - He will expiate from them their sins, and will make good their state.
Shakir
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and have given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allah set forth for mankind their parables.
Shakir
So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
So, when you meet (in fight - Jihad in Allah's Cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islam), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace Islam and are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight) in order to test some of you with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.
Shakir
He will guide them and improve their condition.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
He will guide them and set right their state.
Shakir
And cause them to enter the garden which He has made known to them.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And admit them to Paradise which He has made known to them (i.e. they will know their places in Paradise better than they used to know their homes in the world). [Tafsir Ibn Kathir ]
Shakir
O you who believe! if you help (the cause of) Allah, He will help you and make firm your feet.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.
Shakir
And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is destruction and He has made their deeds ineffective.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), for them is destruction, and (Allah) will make their deeds vain.
Shakir
That is because they hated what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds null.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
That is because they hate that which Allah has sent down (this Qur'an and Islamic laws, etc.); so He has made their deeds fruitless.
Shakir
Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them: Allah brought down destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Have they not travelled through the earth, and seen what was the end of those before them? Allah destroyed them completely, and a similar (fate awaits) the disbelievers.
Shakir
That is because Allah is the Protector of those who believe, and because the unbelievers shall have no protector for them.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
That is because Allah is the Maula (Lord, Master, Helper, Protector, etc.) of those who believe, and the disbelievers have no Maula (lord, master, helper, protector, etc.).
Shakir
Surely Allah will make those who believe and do good enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; and those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as the beasts eat, and the fire is their abode.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Certainly Allah will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise); while those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat; and the Fire will be their abode.
Shakir
And how many a town which was far more powerful than the town of yours which has driven you out: We destroyed them so there was no helper for them.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And many a town, stronger than your town (Makkah) (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) which has driven you out We have destroyed. And there was none to help them.
Shakir
What! is he who has a clear argument from his Lord like him to whom the evil of his work is made fairseeming: and they follow their low desires.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Is he who is on a clear proof from his Lord, like those for whom their evil deeds that they do are beautified for them, while they follow their own lusts (evil desires)?
Shakir
A parable of the garden which those guarding (against evil) are promised: Therein are rivers of water that does not alter, and rivers of milk the taste whereof does not change, and rivers of drink delicious to those who drink, and rivers of honey clarified and for them therein are all fruits and protection from their Lord. (Are these) like those who abide in the fire and who are made to drink boiling water so it rends their bowels asunder.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
The description of Paradise which the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) have been promised (is that) in it are rivers of water the taste and smell of which are not changed, rivers of milk of which the taste never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of clarified honey (clear and pure) therein for them is every kind of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. (Are these) like those who shall dwell for ever in the Fire and be given to drink boiling water so that it cuts up their bowels?
Shakir
And there are those of them who seek to listen to you, until when they go forth from you, they say to those who have been given the knowledge: What was it that he said just now? These are they upon whose hearts Allah has set a seal and they follow their low desires.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And among them are some who listen to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till when they go out from you, they say to those who have received knowledge: "What has he said just now? Such are men whose hearts Allah has sealed, and they follow their lusts (evil desires).
Shakir
And (as for) those who follow the right direction, He increases them in guidance and gives them their guarding (against evil).
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and bestows on them their piety.
Shakir
Do they then wait for aught but the hour that it should come to them all of a sudden? Now indeed the tokens of it have (already) come, but how shall they have their reminder when it comes on them?
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Do they then await (anything) other than the Hour, that it should come upon them suddenly? But some of its portents (indications and signs) have already come; and when it (actually) is on them, how can they benefit then by their reminder?
Shakir
So know that there is no god but Allah, and, ask protection for your fault and for the believing men and the believing women; and Allah knows the place of your returning and the place of your abiding.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
So know (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that, La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) , and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women. And Allah knows well your moving about, and your place of rest (in your homes).
Shakir
And those who believe say: Why has not a chapter been revealed? But when a decisive chapter is revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein you see those in whose hearts is a disease look to you with the look of one fainting because of death. Woe to them then!
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Those who believe say: "Why is not a Surah (chapter of the Qur'an) sent down (for us)? But when a decisive Surah (explaining and ordering things) is sent down, and fighting (Jihad - holy fighting in Allah's cause) is mentioned (i.e. ordained) therein, you will see those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) looking at you with a look of one fainting to death. But it was better for them (hypocrites, to listen to Allah and to obey Him).
Shakir
Obedience and a gentle word (was proper); but when the affair becomes settled, then if they remain true to Allah it would certainly be better for them.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Obedience (to Allah) and good words (were better for them). And when the matter (preparation for Jihad ) is resolved on, then if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them.
Shakir
But if you held command, you were sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship!
Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Those it is whom Allah has cursed so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Such are they whom Allah has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight.

Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Nay, on the hearts there are locks.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?
Shakir
Surely (as for) those who return on their backs after that guidance has become manifest to them, the Shaitan has made it a light matter to them; and He gives them respite.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Verily, those who have turned back (have apostatised) as disbelievers after the guidance has been manifested to them - Shaitan (Satan) has beautified for them (their false hopes), and (Allah) prolonged their term (age).
Shakir
That is because they say to those who hate what Allah has revealed: We will obey you in some of the affairs; and Allah knows their secrets.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Then how (will it be) when the angels will take their souls at death, smiting their faces and their backs?
Shakir
That is because they follow what is displeasing to Allah and are averse to His pleasure, therefore He has made null their deeds.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Shakir
Or do those in whose hearts is a disease think that Allah will not bring forth their spite?
Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Shakir
If He should ask you for it and urge you, you will be niggardly, and He will bring forth your malice.

Shakir
Behold! you are those who are called upon to spend in Allah's way, but among you are those who are niggardly, and whoever is niggardly is niggardly against his own soul; and Allah is Self - sufficient and you have need (of Him), and if you turn back He will bring in your place another people, then they will not be like you.
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of Allah, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the expense of his ownself. But Allah is Rich (Free of all needs), and you (mankind) are poor. And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience to Allah), He will exchange you for some other people and they will not be your likes.
