Chapter 59, 24 verses
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.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم سبح لله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۖ وهو العزيز الحكيم
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)!
هو الذي أخرج الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب من ديارهم لأول الحشر ۚ ما ظننتم أن يخرجوا ۖ وظنوا أنهم مانعتهم حصونهم من الله فأتاهم الله من حيث لم يحتسبوا ۖ وقذف في قلوبهم الرعب ۚ يخربون بيوتهم بأيديهم وأيدي المؤمنين فاعتبروا يا أولي الأبصار
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.
ولولا أن كتب الله عليهم الجلاء لعذبهم في الدنيا ۖ ولهم في الآخرة عذاب النار
That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment.
ذلك بأنهم شاقوا الله ورسوله ۖ ومن يشاق الله فإن الله شديد العقاب
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.
ما قطعتم من لينة أو تركتموها قائمة على أصولها فبإذن الله وليخزي الفاسقين
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 messengers over any He pleases: and Allah has power over all things.
وما أفاء الله على رسوله منهم فما أوجفتم عليه من خيل ولا ركاب ولكن الله يسلط رسله على من يشاء ۚ والله على كل شيء قدير
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.
ما أفاء الله على رسوله من أهل القرى فلله وللرسول ولذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل كي لا يكون دولة بين الأغنياء منكم ۚ وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا ۚ واتقوا الله ۖ إن الله شديد العقاب
(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: -
للفقراء المهاجرين الذين أخرجوا من ديارهم وأموالهم يبتغون فضلا من الله ورضوانا وينصرون الله ورسوله ۚ أولئك هم الصادقون
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.
والذين تبوءوا الدار والإيمان من قبلهم يحبون من هاجر إليهم ولا يجدون في صدورهم حاجة مما أوتوا ويؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة ۚ ومن يوق شح نفسه فأولئك هم المفلحون
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."
والذين جاءوا من بعدهم يقولون ربنا اغفر لنا ولإخواننا الذين سبقونا بالإيمان ولا تجعل في قلوبنا غلا للذين آمنوا ربنا إنك رءوف رحيم
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.
۞ ألم تر إلى الذين نافقوا يقولون لإخوانهم الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب لئن أخرجتم لنخرجن معكم ولا نطيع فيكم أحدا أبدا وإن قوتلتم لننصرنكم والله يشهد إنهم لكاذبون
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.
لئن أخرجوا لا يخرجون معهم ولئن قوتلوا لا ينصرونهم ولئن نصروهم ليولن الأدبار ثم لا ينصرون
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.
لأنتم أشد رهبة في صدورهم من الله ۚ ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يفقهون
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.
لا يقاتلونكم جميعا إلا في قرى محصنة أو من وراء جدر ۚ بأسهم بينهم شديد ۚ تحسبهم جميعا وقلوبهم شتى ۚ ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يعقلون
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; -
كمثل الذين من قبلهم قريبا ۖ ذاقوا وبال أمرهم ولهم عذاب أليم
(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!"
كمثل الشيطان إذ قال للإنسان اكفر فلما كفر قال إني بريء منك إني أخاف الله رب العالمين
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.
فكان عاقبتهما أنهما في النار خالدين فيها ۚ وذلك جزاء الظالمين
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.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله ولتنظر نفس ما قدمت لغد ۖ واتقوا الله ۚ إن الله خبير بما تعملون
And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!
ولا تكونوا كالذين نسوا الله فأنساهم أنفسهم ۚ أولئك هم الفاسقون
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.
لا يستوي أصحاب النار وأصحاب الجنة ۚ أصحاب الجنة هم الفائزون
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.
لو أنزلنا هذا القرآن على جبل لرأيته خاشعا متصدعا من خشية الله ۚ وتلك الأمثال نضربها للناس لعلهم يتفكرون
Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god; - Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
هو الله الذي لا إله إلا هو ۖ عالم الغيب والشهادة ۖ هو الرحمن الرحيم
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.
هو الله الذي لا إله إلا هو الملك القدوس السلام المؤمن المهيمن العزيز الجبار المتكبر ۚ سبحان الله عما يشركون
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.
هو الله الخالق البارئ المصور ۖ له الأسماء الحسنى ۚ يسبح له ما في السماوات والأرض ۖ وهو العزيز الحكيم
