176 Ayaat مدنیۃ
وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ طَاعَةٌ٘-فَاِذَا بَرَزُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَیَّتَ طَآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ تَقُوْلُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَكْتُبُ مَا یُبَیِّتُوْنَۚ-فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-وَ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِیْلًا(۸۱)
They say: "We obey;" but when they leave your company, a section of them discuss at night other things than you had said; but God takes note of what they discuss. So turn aside from them and trust in God; and God is sufficient as protector.
They say, 'Obedience'; but when they sally forth from thee, a party of them meditate all night on other than what thou sayest. God writes down their meditations; so turn away from them, and put thy trust in God; God suffices for a guardian.
اَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَؕ-وَ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَیْرِ اللّٰهِ لَوَجَدُوْا فِیْهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِیْرًا(۸۲)
Do they not ponder over the Qur´an? Had it been the word of any other but God they would surely have found a good deal of variation in it.
What, do they not ponder the Koran? If it had been from other than God surely they would have found in it much inconsistency.
وَ اِذَا جَآءَهُمْ اَمْرٌ مِّنَ الْاَمْنِ اَوِ الْخَوْفِ اَذَاعُوْا بِهٖؕ-وَ لَوْ رَدُّوْهُ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ وَ اِلٰۤى اُولِی الْاَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَنْۢبِطُوْنَهٗ مِنْهُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ لَاتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّیْطٰنَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا(۸۳)
And when any tidings of peace or war come to them they spread the news around. Had they gone to the Prophet or those in authority among them, then those who check and scrutinize would have known it, And but for the favour of God and His mercy you would certainly have followed Satan, except a few.
When there comes to them a matter, be it of security or fear, they broadcast it; if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those of them whose task it is to investigate would have known the matter. And but for the bounty of God to you, and His mercy, you would surely have followed Satan, except a few.
فَقَاتِلْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِۚ-لَا تُكَلَّفُ اِلَّا نَفْسَكَ وَ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۚ-عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّكُفَّ بَاْسَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَشَدُّ بَاْسًا وَّ اَشَدُّ تَنْكِیْلًا(۸۴)
So fight on in the way of God (irrespective of the others). You cannot compel any one except your own self; but urge the believers to fight. It may well be that God will keep back the might of the infidels, for God´s might is greater, and severe His punishment.
So do thou fight in the way of God; thou art charged only with thyself. And urge on the believers; haply God will restrain the unbelievers' might; God is stronger in might, more terrible in punishing.
مَنْ یَّشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً یَّكُنْ لَّهٗ نَصِیْبٌ مِّنْهَاۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَیِّئَةً یَّكُنْ لَّهٗ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَاؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مُّقِیْتًا(۸۵)
He who intercedes in a good cause will surely have a share in the recompense; and he who abets an evil act will share the burden thereof; for God (equates and) is watchful of all things.
Whoso intercedes with a good intercession shall receive a share of it; whosoever intercedes with a bad intercession, he shall receive the like of it; God has power over everything.
وَ اِذَا حُیِّیْتُمْ بِتَحِیَّةٍ فَحَیُّوْا بِاَحْسَنَ مِنْهَاۤ اَوْ رُدُّوْهَاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَسِیْبًا(۸۶)
When you are greeted with a greeting, then greet with one fairer, or repeat the same greeting. For God takes account of all things.
And when you are greeted with a greeting greet with a fairer than it, or return it; surely God keeps a watchful count over everything.
اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ-لَیَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهِؕ-وَ مَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ حَدِیْثًا۠(۸۷)
God: There is no god but He. He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection which is certain to come; and whose word is truer than God´s?
God -- there is no god but He. He will surely gather you to the Resurrection Day, no doubt of it. And who is truer in tidings than God?
فَمَا لَكُمْ فِی الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ فِئَتَیْنِ وَ اللّٰهُ اَرْكَسَهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْاؕ-اَتُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَهْدُوْا مَنْ اَضَلَّ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ سَبِیْلًا(۸۸)
How is it that you are divided in two factions about the hypocrites? God has routed them for what they were doing. Do you wish to guide him to the path whom God has allowed to go astray? As for him whom God allows to go astray you will not find a way.
How is it with you, that you are two parties touching the hypocrites, and God has overthrown them for what they earned? What, do you desire to guide him whom God has led astray? Whom God leads astray, thou wilt not find for him a way.
وَدُّوْا لَوْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ كَمَا كَفَرُوْا فَتَكُوْنُوْنَ سَوَآءً فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءَ حَتّٰى یُهَاجِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِؕ-فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَخُذُوْهُمْ وَ اقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَیْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ ۪- وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْهُمْ وَلِیًّا وَّ لَا نَصِیْرًاۙ(۸۹)
They wish you to become disbelievers as they are, so that you should become like them. Therefore hold them not as friends until they go out of their homes in the way of God. If they do not, seize them wherever they are and do away with them. Do not make them your friends or allies,
They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ یَصِلُوْنَ اِلٰى قَوْمٍۭ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُمْ مِّیْثَاقٌ اَوْ جَآءُوْكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُوْرُهُمْ اَنْ یُّقَاتِلُوْكُمْ اَوْ یُقَاتِلُوْا قَوْمَهُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمْ عَلَیْكُمْ فَلَقٰتَلُوْكُمْۚ-فَاِنِ اعْتَزَلُوْكُمْ فَلَمْ یُقَاتِلُوْكُمْ وَ اَلْقَوْا اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلَمَۙ-فَمَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ عَلَیْهِمْ سَبِیْلًا(۹۰)
Except those who take refuge with a people allied to you, or those who, weary of fighting you or their people, come over to you. If God had so willed He would surely have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. If they keep aloof and do not fight, and offer peace, God has left you no reason to fight them.
except those that betake themselves to a people who are joined with you by a compact, or come to you with breasts constricted from fighting with you or fighting their people. Had God willed, He would have given them authority over you, and then certainly they would have fought you. If they withdraw from you, and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then God assigns not any way to you against them.
سَتَجِدُوْنَ اٰخَرِیْنَ یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یَّاْمَنُوْكُمْ وَ یَاْمَنُوْا قَوْمَهُمْؕ-كُلَّمَا رُدُّوْۤا اِلَى الْفِتْنَةِ اُرْكِسُوْا فِیْهَاۚ-فَاِنْ لَّمْ یَعْتَزِلُوْكُمْ وَ یُلْقُوْۤا اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلَمَ وَ یَكُفُّوْۤا اَیْدِیَهُمْ فَخُذُوْهُمْ وَ اقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَیْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوْهُمْؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكُمْ جَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ عَلَیْهِمْ سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِیْنًا۠(۹۱)
You will also find persons who, while wishing to live in peace with you as well as with their own people, turn to civil war the moment they are called to it. If they do not keep away from you, nor offer you peace nor restrain their hands, seize them and kill them wherever they are. We have given you a clear sanction against them.
You will find others desiring to be secure from you, and secure from their people, yet whenever they are returned to temptation, they are overthrown in it. If they withdraw not from you, and offer you peace, and restrain their hands, take them, and slay them wherever you come on them; against them We have given you a clear authority.
وَ مَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ اَنْ یَّقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا اِلَّا خَطَــٴًـاۚ-وَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا خَطَــٴًـا فَتَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ وَّ دِیَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّصَّدَّقُوْاؕ-فَاِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَّكُمْ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍؕ-وَ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍۭ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُمْ مِّیْثَاقٌ فَدِیَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهٖ وَ تَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍۚ-فَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجِدْ فَصِیَامُ شَهْرَیْنِ مُتَتَابِعَیْنِ٘-تَوْبَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۹۲)
It is not for a believer to take a believer´s life except by mistake; and he who kills a believer by mistake should free a slave who is a believer, and pay blood-money to the victim´s family unless they forego it as an act of charity. If he belonged to a community hostile to you but was himself a believer, then a slave who is a believer should be freed. In case he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty, then give blood-money to his family and free a believing slave. But he who has no means (to do so) should fast for a period of two months continuously to have his sins forgiven by God, and God is all-knowing and all-wise.
It belongs not to a believer to slay a believer, except it be by error. If any slays a believer by error, then let him set free a believing slave, and bloodwit is to be paid to his family unless they forgo it as a freewill offering. If he belong to a people at enmity with you and is a believer, let the slayer set free a believing slave. If he belong to a people joined with you by a compact, then bloodwit is to be paid to his family and the slayer shall set free a believing slave. But if he finds not the means, let him fast two successive months -- God's turning; God is All-knowing, All-wise.
وَ مَنْ یَّقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَآؤُهٗ جَهَنَّمُ خٰلِدًا فِیْهَا وَ غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ لَعَنَهٗ وَ اَعَدَّ لَهٗ عَذَابًا عَظِیْمًا(۹۳)
Any one who kills a believer intentionally will be cast into Hell to abide there for ever, and suffer God´s anger and damnation. For him a greater punishment awaits.
And whoso slays a believer wilfully, his recompense is Gehenna, therein dwelling forever, and God will be wroth with him and will curse him, and prepare for him a mighty chastisement.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَتَبَیَّنُوْا وَ لَا تَقُوْلُوْا لِمَنْ اَلْقٰۤى اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلٰمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًاۚ-تَبْتَغُوْنَ عَرَضَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا٘-فَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِیْرَةٌؕ-كَذٰلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْكُمْ فَتَبَیَّنُوْاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرًا(۹۴)
O believers, when you go out on a journey in the way of God, be discreet and do not say to anyone who greets you in peace: "You are not a believer." You desire the gain of earthly life, but there are prizes in plenty with God. You were also like him (an unbeliever) in the past, but God has been gracious to you. So be careful and discreet, for God is aware of what you do.
O believers, when you are journeying in the path of God, be discriminating, and do not say to him who offers you a greeting, 'Thou art not a believer,' seeking the chance goods of the present life. With God are spoils abundant. So you were aforetime; but God has been gracious to you. So be discriminating; surely God is aware of the things you do.
لَا یَسْتَوِی الْقٰعِدُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ غَیْرُ اُولِی الضَّرَرِ وَ الْمُجٰهِدُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْؕ-فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ الْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ عَلَى الْقٰعِدِیْنَ دَرَجَةًؕ-وَ كُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْحُسْنٰىؕ-وَ فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ الْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ عَلَى الْقٰعِدِیْنَ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًاۙ(۹۵)
The faithful who sit idle, other than those who are disabled, are not equal to those who fight in the way of God with their wealth and lives. God has exalted those in rank who fight for the faith with their wealth and souls over those who sit idle. Though God´s promise of good is for all, He has granted His favour of the highest reward to those who struggle in preference to those who sit at home.
Such believers as sit at home -- unless they have an injury -- are not the equals of those who struggle in the path of God with their possessions and their selves. God has preferred in rank those who struggle with their possessions and their selves over the ones who sit at home; yet to each God has promised the reward most fair; and God has preferred those who struggle over the ones who sit at home for the bounty of a mighty wage,
دَرَجٰتٍ مِّنْهُ وَ مَغْفِرَةً وَّ رَحْمَةًؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا۠(۹۶)
For them are higher ranks with God, and forgiveness and grace; and God is forgiving and kind.
in ranks standing before Him, forgiveness and mercy; surely God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَوَفّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ ظَالِمِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوْا فِیْمَ كُنْتُمْؕ-قَالُوْا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-قَالُوْۤا اَلَمْ تَكُنْ اَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوْا فِیْهَاؕ-فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ سَآءَتْ مَصِیْرًاۙ(۹۷)
As for those whose souls are taken by the angels (at death) while in a state of unbelief, they will be asked by the angels: "What (state) were you in?" They will answer: "We were oppressed in the land." And the angels will say: "Was not God´s earth large enough for you to migrate?" Their abode will be Hell, and what an evil destination!
And those the angels take, while still they are wronging themselves -- the angels will say, 'In what circumstances were you?' They will say, 'We were abased in the earth.' The angels will say, 'But was not God's earth wide, so that you might have emigrated in it?' Such men, their refuge shall be Gehenna -- an evil homecoming! --
اِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَآءِ وَ الْوِلْدَانِ لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ حِیْلَةً وَّ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ سَبِیْلًاۙ(۹۸)
But those who are helpless, men, women and children, who can neither contrive a plan nor do they know the way,
except the men, women, and children who, being abased, can devise nothing and are not guided to a way;
فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُوْرًا(۹۹)
May well hope for the mercy of God; and God is full of mercy and grace.
haply them God will yet pardon, for God is All-pardoning, All-forgiving.
وَ مَنْ یُّهَاجِرْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ یَجِدْ فِی الْاَرْضِ مُرٰغَمًا كَثِیْرًا وَّسَعَةًؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّخْرُ جْ مِنْۢ بَیْتِهٖ مُهَاجِرًا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ ثُمَّ یُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَ قَعَ اَجْرُهٗ عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا۠(۱۰۰)
Whosoever leaves his country in duty to God will find many places of refuge, and abundance on the earth. And he who leaves his home and becomes an emigre in the way of God and His Messenger, and death overtake him, is sure to receive his reward from God; for God is forgiving and kind.
Whoso emigrates in the way of God will find in the earth many refuges and plenty; whoso goes forth from his house an emigrant to God and His Messenger, and then death overtakes him, his wage shall have fallen on God; surely God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
وَ اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَلَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَقْصُرُوْا مِنَ الصَّلٰوةِ ﳓ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَنْ یَّفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-اِنَّ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ كَانُوْا لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُّبِیْنًا(۱۰۱)
When you travel in the land there is no sin if you curtail your service of prayer if you fear the unbelievers may harass you, for indeed your open enemies are the infidels.
And when you are journeying in the land there is no fault in you that you shorten the prayer, if you fear the unbelievers may afflict you; the unbelievers are for you a manifest foe.
وَ اِذَا كُنْتَ فِیْهِمْ فَاَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ مَّعَكَ وَ لْیَاْخُذُوْۤا اَسْلِحَتَهُمْ- فَاِذَا سَجَدُوْا فَلْیَكُوْنُوْا مِنْ وَّرَآىٕكُمْ ۪- وَ لْتَاْتِ طَآىٕفَةٌ اُخْرٰى لَمْ یُصَلُّوْا فَلْیُصَلُّوْا مَعَكَ وَ لْیَاْخُذُوْا حِذْرَهُمْ وَ اَسْلِحَتَهُمْۚ-وَدَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ تَغْفُلُوْنَ عَنْ اَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَ اَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَیَمِیْلُوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّیْلَةً وَّاحِدَةًؕ-وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ اَذًى مِّنْ مَّطَرٍ اَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰۤى اَنْ تَضَعُوْۤا اَسْلِحَتَكُمْۚ-وَ خُذُوْا حِذْرَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِیْنًا(۱۰۲)
When you are among them, and have to lead the service of prayer, let one group stand up with you, but let them keep their arms. After they have paid their homage they should go to the rear, and let the group which has not done so yet offer their service of prayer with you, remaining cautious and armed, The infidels wish to find you neglectful of your arms and provisions, to attack you unawares. It will not be a sin if you put aside your arms when you are troubled by rain, or you are ill; but take full precautions. God has reserved for infidels a despicable punishment
When thou art amongst them, and performest for them the prayer, let a party of them stand with thee, and let them take their weapons. When they bow themselves, let them be behind you; and let another party who have not prayed come and pray with thee, taking their precautions and their weapons. The unbelievers wish that you should be heedless of your weapons and your baggage, then they would wheel on you all at once. There is no fault in you, if rain molests you, or you are sick, to lay aside your weapons; but take your precautions. God has prepared for the unbelievers a humbling chastisement.
فَاِذَا قَضَیْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ قِیٰمًا وَّ قُعُوْدًا وَّ عَلٰى جُنُوْبِكُمْۚ-فَاِذَا اطْمَاْنَنْتُمْ فَاَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَۚ-اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ كِتٰبًا مَّوْقُوْتًا(۱۰۳)
If you are late in performing your service of prayer honour God by remembering Him, standing or sitting or lying on your sides. And when you have security perform your act of prayer befittingly; and praying at fixed hours is prescribed for the faithful.
When you have performed the prayer, remember God, standing and sitting and on your sides. Then, when you are secure, perform the prayer; surely the prayer is a timed prescription for the believers.
وَ لَا تَهِنُوْا فِی ابْتِغَآءِ الْقَوْمِؕ-اِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا تَاْلَمُوْنَ فَاِنَّهُمْ یَاْلَمُوْنَ كَمَا تَاْلَمُوْنَۚ-وَ تَرْجُوْنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَرْجُوْنَؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا۠(۱۰۴)
And do not be chary of pursuing them. If you suffer, they shall also suffer like you. But while you have hope (of success) from God, they have none. Surely God is all-knowing and all-wise.
Faint not in seeking the heathen; if you are suffering, they are also suffering as you are suffering, and you are hoping from God for that for which they cannot hope; God is All-knowing, All-wise.
اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَیْنَ النَّاسِ بِمَاۤ اَرٰىكَ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ لَا تَكُنْ لِّلْخَآىٕنِیْنَ خَصِیْمًاۙ(۱۰۵)
We have sent down to you the Book containing the truth, in whose light you should judge among the people as God has shown you, and do not be a contender for deceivers.
Surely We have sent down to thee the Book with the truth, so that thou mayest judge between the people by that God has shown thee. So be not an advocate for the traitors;
وَّ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًاۚ(۱۰۶)
And seek God´s forgiveness, for God is surely forgiving and kind.
and pray forgiveness of God; surely God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
وَ لَا تُجَادِلْ عَنِ الَّذِیْنَ یَخْتَانُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ خَوَّانًا اَثِیْمًاۚۙ(۱۰۷)
Do not argue for those who harbour deceit in their hearts, for God does not love the treacherous and the iniquitous.
And do not dispute on behalf of those who betray themselves; surely God loves not the guilty traitor.
یَّسْتَخْفُوْنَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا یَسْتَخْفُوْنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ اِذْ یُبَیِّتُوْنَ مَا لَا یَرْضٰى مِنَ الْقَوْلِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطًا(۱۰۸)
They try to hide from (men), but they cannot hide from God who is with them at night when they discuss such matters as He does not approve; but what they do is well within the compass of God.
They hide themselves from men, but hide not themselves from God; for He is with them while they meditate at night discourse unpleasing to Him; God encompasses the things they do.
هٰۤاَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ جٰدَلْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا- فَمَنْ یُّجَادِلُ اللّٰهَ عَنْهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اَمْ مَّنْ یَّكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِمْ وَكِیْلًا(۱۰۹)
Well, you are those who pleaded for them in the life of this world; but who will plead for them on the Day of Resurrection or be their security?
Ha, there you are; you have disputed on their behalf in the present life; but who will dispute with God on their behalf on the Resurrection Day, or who will be a guardian for them?
وَ مَنْ یَّعْمَلْ سُوْٓءًا اَوْ یَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهٗ ثُمَّ یَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَ یَجِدِ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا(۱۱۰)
He who does evil or acts against his own interests (by disbelieving), then prays for God´s forgiveness, will find God compassionate and merciful.
Whosoever does evil, or wrongs himself; and then prays God's forgiveness, he shall find God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
وَ مَنْ یَّكْسِبْ اِثْمًا فَاِنَّمَا یَكْسِبُهٗ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۱۱۱)
He who earns the wages of sin does so for himself; and God is aware of everything and is wise.
And whosoever earns a sin, earns it against himself only; and God is ever All-knowing, All-wise.
وَ مَنْ یَّكْسِبْ خَطِیْٓــٴَـةً اَوْ اِثْمًا ثُمَّ یَرْمِ بِهٖ بَرِیْٓــٴًـا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلَ بُهْتَانًا وَّ اِثْمًا مُّبِیْنًا۠(۱۱۲)
He who commits a mistake or iniquity and ascribes it to one who is innocent, is guilty of calumny and brazen sin.
And whosoever earns a fault or a sin and then casts it upon the innocent, thereby has laid upon himself calumny and manifest sin.
وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكَ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ لَهَمَّتْ طَّآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ اَنْ یُّضِلُّوْكَؕ-وَ مَا یُضِلُّوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ مَا یَضُرُّوْنَكَ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-وَ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ عَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُؕ-وَ كَانَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكَ عَظِیْمًا(۱۱۳)
But for the mercy of God and His grace you would certainly have been misled by a section of them; yet they could not mislead you but themselves alone, and could do you no harm, for God has revealed to you the Book and the Law, and taught you what you did not know. Great have been the blessings of God on you.
But for God's bounty to thee and His mercy a party of them purposed to lead thee astray; but they lead only themselves astray; they do not hurt thee in anything. God has sent down on thee the Book and the Wisdom, and He has taught thee that thou knewest not; God's' bounty to thee is ever great.
لَا خَیْرَ فِیْ كَثِیْرٍ مِّنْ نَّجْوٰىهُمْ اِلَّا مَنْ اَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ اَوْ مَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ اِصْلَاحٍۭ بَیْنَ النَّاسِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِیْهِ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا(۱۱۴)
Their confidential counsels are seldom for the good, save of those who talk of charity or goodness or peace among men. Whosoever does so for the pleasure of God, We shall give him an ample reward.
No good is there in much of their conspiring, except for him who bids to freewill offering, or honour, or setting things right between the people. Whoso does that, seeking God's good pleasure, We shall surely give him a mighty wage.
وَ مَنْ یُّشَاقِقِ الرَّسُوْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدٰى وَ یَتَّبِـعْ غَیْرَ سَبِیْلِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ نُوَلِّهٖ مَا تَوَلّٰى وَ نُصْلِهٖ جَهَنَّمَؕ-وَ سَآءَتْ مَصِیْرًا۠(۱۱۵)
And he who opposes the Prophet even after the way has become clear to him, and follows a path other than the way of believers, We shall lead him to what he has chosen for himself, and shall take him to Hell: How evil a journey´s end.
But whoso makes a breach with the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to him and follows a way other than the believers', him We shall turn over to what he has turned to and We shall roast him in Gehenna - an evil homecoming!
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَغْفِرُ اَنْ یُّشْرَكَ بِهٖ وَ یَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًۢا بَعِیْدًا(۱۱۶)
God does not forgive that compeers be ascribed to Him, and absolves all else whatsoever He will. And he who associates compeers with God has indeed wandered far astray.
God forgives not that aught should be with Him associated; less than that He forgives to whomsoever He will. Whoso associates with God anything, has gone astray into far error.
اِنْ یَّدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اِنٰثًاۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَّا شَیْطٰنًا مَّرِیْدًاۙ(۱۱۷)
In His place they invoke only females (the pagan deities); and instead of Him they invoke Satan the obstinate rebel
In stead of Him, they pray not except to female beings; they pray not except to a rebel Satan accursed by God.
لَّعَنَهُ اللّٰهُۘ-وَ قَالَ لَاَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِیْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًاۙ(۱۱۸)
Who was condemned by God and who said: "I shall take from Thy creatures my determinate share,
He said, 'Assuredly I will take unto myself a portion appointed of Thy servants,
وَّ لَاُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَ لَاُمَنِّیَنَّهُمْ وَ لَاٰمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَیُبَتِّكُنَّ اٰذَانَ الْاَنْعَامِ وَ لَاٰمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَیُغَیِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَّخِذِ الشَّیْطٰنَ وَلِیًّا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِیْنًاؕ(۱۱۹)
And mislead them and tempt them, and order them to slit the ears of animals; and order them to alter God´s creation." He who holds Satan as friend in place of God will assuredly be damned to perdition.
and I will lead them astray, and fill them with fancies and I will command them and they will cut off the cattle's ears; I will command them and they will alter God's creation.' Whoso takes Satan to him for a friend, instead of God, has surely suffered a manifest loss.
یَعِدُهُمْ وَ یُمَنِّیْهِمْؕ-وَ مَا یَعِدُهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا(۱۲۰)
Whatever the promises he makes, whatever the desires he enkindles, and whatever the hopes Satan rouses in them, are no more than delusion.
He promises them and fills them with fancies, but there is nothing Satan promises them except delusion.
