Surah At-Tawbah Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

9:41

اِنْفِرُوْا خِفَافًا وَّ ثِقَالًا وَّ جَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ اَنْفُسِكُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ(۴۱)

O believers, go out in the cause of God, (whether) light or heavy, and strive in the service of God, wealth and soul. This is better for you if you understand.

Go forth, light and heavy! Struggle in God's way with your possessions and your selves; that is better for you, did you know.

9:42

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِیْبًا وَّ سَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَ لٰكِنْۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُؕ-وَ سَیَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْۚ-یُهْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْۚ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ۠(۴۲)

(O Prophet), had the gain been close at hand, and easy the journey, they would surely have followed you; but hard was the journey and long the going. Even then they swear by God (and say): "If we had the strength we would surely have gone out with you." They are only ruining themselves, for God is aware they lie.

Were it a gain near at hand, and an easy journey, they would have followed thee; but the distance was too far for them. Still they will swear by God, 'Had we been able, we would have gone out with you,' so destroying their souls; and God knows that they are truly liars.

9:43

عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْكَۚ-لِمَ اَذِنْتَ لَهُمْ حَتّٰى یَتَبَیَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَ تَعْلَمَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ(۴۳)

May God forgive you. Why did you allow them (to stay behind) without ascertaining who spoke the truth and who were liars?

God pardon thee! Why gavest thou them leave, till it was clear to thee which of them spoke the truth, and thou knewest the liars?

9:44

لَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ یُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۴۴)

Those who believe in God and the Last Day, do not ask your leave to be excused from fighting wealth and soul (in the cause of God), for God knows the pious and devout.

Those who believe in God and the Last Day ask not leave of thee, that they may struggle with their possessions and their selves; and God knows the godfearing.

9:45

اِنَّمَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ ارْتَابَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِیْ رَیْبِهِمْ یَتَرَدَّدُوْنَ(۴۵)

Only they ask (for leave) who do not believe in God and the Last Day, whose hearts are full of doubt; and doubting they waver (between gain and loss).

They only ask leave of thee who believe not in God and the Last Day, those whose hearts are filled with doubt, so that in their doubt they go this way and that.

9:46

وَ لَوْ اَرَادُوا الْخُرُوْجَ لَاَعَدُّوْا لَهٗ عُدَّةً وَّ لٰكِنْ كَرِهَ اللّٰهُ انْۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَ قِیْلَ اقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْقٰعِدِیْنَ(۴۶)

If they had intended to go out (to fight) they would surely have made preparations. But God did not like their setting forth, and they were held back and told: "Stay at home with those who stay behind."

If they had desired to go forth, they would have made some preparation for it; but God was averse that they should be aroused, so He made them pause, and it was said to them, 'Tarry you with the tarriers.'

9:47

لَوْ خَرَجُوْا فِیْكُمْ مَّا زَادُوْكُمْ اِلَّا خَبَالًا وَّ لَاۡاَوْضَعُوْا خِلٰلَكُمْ یَبْغُوْنَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَۚ-وَ فِیْكُمْ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لَهُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۴۷)

Had they gone out with you, they would only have been a hindrance and let loose confusion among you to create discord; for there are some in your midst who spy for them. But God knows who are the wicked.

Had they gone forth among you, they would only have increased you in trouble, and run to and fro in your midst, seeking to stir up sedition between you; and some of you would listen to them; and God knows the evildoers.

9:48

لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ قَلَّبُوْا لَكَ الْاُمُوْرَ حَتّٰى جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَ ظَهَرَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَ هُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ(۴۸)

They had tried to create disorder before and intrigued against you, but truth came out in the end and God´s will prevailed, even though they did not like it.

They sought to stir up sedition already before, and turned things upside down for thee, until the truth came, and God's command appeared, though they were averse.

9:49

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّقُوْلُ ائْذَنْ لِّیْ وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّیْؕ-اَلَا فِی الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوْاؕ-وَ اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِیْطَةٌۢ بِالْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۴۹)

And (many a one) there is among them who says: "Allow me (to stay back at home), and put me not on trial." Surely they have put themselves on trial already, and Hell will enclose the unbelievers from all sides.

Some of them there are that say, 'Give me leave and do not tempt me.' Have not such men fallen into temptation? And surely Gehenna encompasses the unbelievers.

9:50

اِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِیْبَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا قَدْ اَخَذْنَاۤ اَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ یَتَوَلَّوْا وَّ هُمْ فَرِحُوْنَ(۵۰)

If good comes your way they are vexed, but if calamity befalls you, they say: "We had taken precautions in advance;" and pleased, turn away.

If good fortune befalls thee, it vexes them; but if thou art visited by an affliction, they say, 'We took our dispositions before', and turn away, rejoicing.

9:51

قُلْ لَّنْ یُّصِیْبَنَاۤ اِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَنَاۚ-هُوَ مَوْلٰىنَاۚ-وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۵۱)

Tell them: "Nothing can befall us except what God decrees. Our protector is He, and in God should the faithful place their trust."

Say: 'Naught shall visit us but what God has prescribed for us; He is our Protector; in God let the believers put all their trust.'

9:52

قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُوْنَ بِنَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اِحْدَى الْحُسْنَیَیْنِؕ-وَ نَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ اَنْ یُّصِیْبَكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖۤ اَوْ بِاَیْدِیْنَا ﳲ فَتَرَبَّصُوْۤا اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّتَرَبِّصُوْنَ(۵۲)

Say: "Are you waiting for anything else but one of two good things for us, (victory or martyrdom)? Yet what we are waiting for you is the punishment of God, direct or through us. So keep waiting; we are waiting with you."

Say: 'Are you awaiting for aught to come to us but one of the two rewards most fair? We are awaiting in your case too, for God to visit you with chastisement. from Him, or at our hands; so await; we are awaiting with you.'

9:53

قُلْ اَنْفِقُوْا طَوْعًا اَوْ كَرْهًا لَّنْ یُّتَقَبَّلَ مِنْكُمْؕ-اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا فٰسِقِیْنَ(۵۳)

Tell them: "You may spend (in the way of God), whether willingly or with reluctance, it will not be accepted from you, for you are reprobates."

Say: 'Expend willingly, or unwillingly, it shall not be accepted from you; you are surely a people ungodly.'

9:54

وَ مَا مَنَعَهُمْ اَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقٰتُهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ بِرَسُوْلِهٖ وَ لَا یَاْتُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ اِلَّا وَ هُمْ كُسَالٰى وَ لَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ اِلَّا وَ هُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ(۵۴)

Nothing prevents the acceptance of what they spend except that they do not believe in God and His Apostle, and come to worship but languidly and spend only grudgingly.

And naught prevents that their expendings should be accepted from them, but that they believe not in God and His Messenger, and perform not the prayer save lazily, and that they expend not without they are averse.

9:55

فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَوْلَادُهُمْؕ-اِنَّمَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ تَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ(۵۵)

Do not marvel at their wealth and children. God intends to punish them through these in the world; and their souls will depart in a state of disbelief.

So let not their possessions or their children please thee; God only desires thereby to chastise them in this present life, and that their souls should depart while they are unbelievers.

9:56

وَ یَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ اِنَّهُمْ لَمِنْكُمْؕ-وَ مَا هُمْ مِّنْكُمْ وَ لٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ یَّفْرَقُوْنَ(۵۶)

They swear by God they are with you, though in fact they are not. They are only a frightened lot.

They swear by God that they belong with you, but they are not of you they are a people that are afraid.

9:57

لَوْ یَجِدُوْنَ مَلْجَاً اَوْ مَغٰرٰتٍ اَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْا اِلَیْهِ وَ هُمْ یَجْمَحُوْنَ(۵۷)

If they find a place of shelter or a cave or hole to hide, they will turn to it.

If they could find a shelter, or some caverns, or any place to creep into, they would turn about and bolt away to it.

9:58

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّلْمِزُكَ فِی الصَّدَقٰتِۚ-فَاِنْ اُعْطُوْا مِنْهَا رَضُوْا وَ اِنْ لَّمْ یُعْطَوْا مِنْهَاۤ اِذَا هُمْ یَسْخَطُوْنَ(۵۸)

There are some among them who blame you (of partiality) in distributing the offerings made in the name of God. In case they receive some of these they are pleased, if not, they are incensed.

Some of them find fault with thee touching the freewill offerings; if they are given a share of them they are well-pleased, but if they are given none then they are angry.

9:59

وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ رَضُوْا مَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗۙ-وَ قَالُوْا حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ سَیُؤْتِیْنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗۤۙ-اِنَّاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ رٰغِبُوْنَ۠(۵۹)

They should rather have been pleased with what God and His Prophet had given them, and said: "God is sufficient for us; He will give us of His largesse as will His Apostle. We supplicate no one but God."

O were they well-pleased with what God and His Messenger have brought them, saying, 'Enough for us is God; God will bring us of His bounty, and His Messenger; to God we humbly turn.'

9:60

اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ الْعٰمِلِیْنَ عَلَیْهَا وَ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ فِی الرِّقَابِ وَ الْغٰرِمِیْنَ وَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِیْلِؕ-فَرِیْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(۶۰)

Charities are meant for the indigent and needy, and those who collect and distribute them, and those whom you wish to win over, and for redeeming slaves (and captives) and those who are burdened with debt, and in the cause of God, and the wayfarers: So does God ordain. God is all-knowing and all-wise.

The freewill offerings are for the poor and needy, those who work to collect them, those whose hearts are brought together, the ransoming of slaves, debtors, in God's way, and the traveller; so God ordains; God is All-knowing, All-wise.

9:61

وَ مِنْهُمُ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْذُوْنَ النَّبِیَّ وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هُوَ اُذُنٌؕ-قُلْ اُذُنُ خَیْرٍ لَّكُمْ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَ یُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْذُوْنَ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۶۱)

There are some among them who talk ill of the Prophet by saying: "He listens to everyone." Tell them: "He listens for your good, and trusts in God and trusts the faithful, and he is a blessing for those who believe. For those who offend the Apostle of God there is painful punishment."

And some of them hurt the Prophet, saying, 'He is an ear!' Say: 'An ear of good for you; he believes in God, and believes the believers, and he is a mercy to the believers among you. Those who hurt God's Messenger -- for them awaits a painful chastisement.'

9:62

یَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ لِیُرْضُوْكُمْۚ-وَ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗۤ اَحَقُّ اَنْ یُّرْضُوْهُ اِنْ كَانُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۶۲)

They swear by God to please you; but if they are believers it would have been worthier to have pleased God and His Apostle.

They swear to you by God, to please you; but God and His Messenger -- more right is it they should please Him, if they are believers.

9:63

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّهٗ مَنْ یُّحَادِدِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ فَاَنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِیْهَاؕ-ذٰلِكَ الْخِزْیُ الْعَظِیْمُ(۶۳)

Have they not realised that anyone who opposes God and His Prophet, will abide in Hell for ever? And that is the worst disgrace.

Do they not know that whosoever opposes God and His Messenger -- for him awaits the fire of Gehenna, therein to dwell forever? That is the mighty degradation.

9:64

یَحْذَرُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ عَلَیْهِمْ سُوْرَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْؕ-قُلِ اسْتَهْزِءُوْاۚ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْرِ جٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُوْنَ(۶۴)

The hypocrites fear lest a Surah is revealed concerning them, exposing what is in their hearts. Say to them: "Mock as much as you like; God will surely expose what you dread."

The hypocrites are afraid, lest a sura should be sent down against them, telling thee what is in their hearts. Say: 'Mock on; God will bring forth what you fear.'

9:65

وَ لَىٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوْضُ وَ نَلْعَبُؕ-قُلْ اَبِاللّٰهِ وَ اٰیٰتِهٖ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ(۶۵)

But if you ask them, they will say: "We were only gossiping and jesting." You ask them: "Were you jesting with God, His revelations and His messengers?"

And if thou questionest them, then assuredly they will say, 'We were only plunging and playing.' Say: 'What, then were you mocking God, and His signs, and His Messenger?

9:66

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوْا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِكُمْؕ-اِنْ نَّعْفُ عَنْ طَآىٕفَةٍ مِّنْكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآىٕفَةًۢ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ۠(۶۶)

Do not make excuses: You turned unbelievers after having come to faith. If We pardon a section of you (for being frivolous), We shall punish the other for being guilty (of deliberate sin).

Make no excuses. You have disbelieved after your believing. If We forgive one party of you, We will chastise another party for that they were sinners.'

9:67

اَلْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَ الْمُنٰفِقٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍۘ-یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَ یَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ یَقْبِضُوْنَ اَیْدِیَهُمْؕ-نَسُوا اللّٰهَ فَنَسِیَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ(۶۷)

The hypocrites (are the same) whether men or women, the one of them being of the other. They encourage what is bad and dissuade from the good, and tighten their purses (when it comes to spending in the way of God). Of God they are oblivious; so He is oblivious of them. The hypocrites are indeed transgressors.

The hypocrites, the men and the women, are as one another; they bid to dishonour, and forbid honour; they keep their hands shut; they have forgotten God, and He has forgotten them. The hypocrites -- they are the ungodly.

9:68

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ وَ الْمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَ الْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاؕ-هِیَ حَسْبُهُمْۚ-وَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُۚ-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌۙ(۶۸)

God has reserved for hypocrites, whether men or women, and for unbelievers, the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever. This is sufficient for them: They have God´s condemnation and lasting torment,

God has promised the hypocrites, men and women, and the unbelievers, the fire of Gehenna, therein to dwell foreover. That is enough for them; God has cursed them; and there awaits them Like a lasting chastisement.

9:69

كَالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوْۤا اَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّةً وَّ اَكْثَرَ اَمْوَالًا وَّ اَوْلَادًاؕ-فَاسْتَمْتَعُوْا بِخَلَاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلَاقِهِمْ وَ خُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِیْ خَاضُوْاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ(۶۹)

Like those before you who were greater in strength, had more wealth and children than you, who enjoyed their lot in this world, as you have enjoyed your share like them. You indulge in idle talk, as they had indulged in vain discourse. Yet nothing of what they did remains in this world or will in the next, and they are the losers.

those before you, who were stronger than you in might, and more abundant in wealth and children; they took enjoyment in their share; so do you take enjoyment in your share, as those before you took enjoyment in their share. You have plunged as they plunged. Those -- their works have failed in this world and in the world to come; those -- they are the losers.

9:70

اَلَمْ یَاْتِهِمْ نَبَاُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّ عَادٍ وَّ ثَمُوْدَ ﳔ وَ قَوْمِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَ اَصْحٰبِ مَدْیَنَ وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكٰتِؕ-اَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِۚ-فَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیَظْلِمَهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ(۷۰)

Has not the account of those before them come to them, -- of the people of Noah and ´Ad and Thamud, of Abraham and Midian, and all the habitations that were destroyed? Their apostles had come to them with clear proofs; and God did not surely wrong them, they wronged themselves.

Has there not come to you the tidings of those who were before you -- the people of Noah, Ad, Thamood, the people of Abraham, the men of Midian and the subverted cities? Their Messengers came to them with the clear signs God would not wrong them, but themselves they wronged.

9:71

وَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍۘ-یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ یَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ یُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ یُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ یُطِیْعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ سَیَرْحَمُهُمُ اللّٰهُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(۷۱)

Those who believe, men and women, befriend one another, and enjoin what is right and prohibit what is wrong. They observe their devotional obligations, pay the zakat, and obey God and His Apostle. God will be merciful to them, for God is all-mighty and all-wise.

And the believers, the men and the women, are friends one of the other; they bid to honour, and forbid dishonour; they perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and they obey God and His Messenger. Those -- upon them God will have mercy; God is All-mighty, All-wise.

9:72

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا وَ مَسٰكِنَ طَیِّبَةً فِیْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنٍؕ-وَ رِضْوَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُؕ-ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ۠(۷۲)

God has promised men and women who believe gardens with streams of running water where they will abide for ever, and beautiful mansions in the Garden of Eden, and the blessings of God above all. That will be happiness supreme.

God has promised the believers, men and women, gardens underneath which rivers flow, forever therein to dwell, and goodly dwelling-places in the Gardens of Eden; and greater, God's good pleasure; that is the mighty triumph.

9:73

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ وَ اغْلُظْ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-وَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ(۷۳)

Strive, O Prophet, against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal with them firmly. Their final abode is Hell: And what a wretched destination!

O Prophet, struggle with the unbelievers and hypocrites, and be thou harsh with them; their refuge is Gehenna -- an evil homecoming!

9:74

یَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ مَا قَالُوْاؕ-وَ لَقَدْ قَالُوْا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَ كَفَرُوْا بَعْدَ اِسْلَامِهِمْ وَ هَمُّوْا بِمَا لَمْ یَنَالُوْاۚ-وَ مَا نَقَمُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ اَغْنٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۚ-فَاِنْ یَّتُوْبُوْا یَكُ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّتَوَلَّوْا یُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًاۙ-فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا نَصِیْرٍ(۷۴)

They swear by God: "We never said this." But they surely said words disbelieving the truth, and they turned unbelievers after having come to faith, and designed what they could not accomplish. They did it only out of vengeance for God and His Apostle had enriched them by their grace. So, if they repent it is better for them. If they turn away then God would afflict them with painful punishment in this world and the next; and none will they have on the face of the earth to protect or help them.

They swear by God that they said nothing, but they indeed said the word of unbelief and disbelieved, after they had surrendered. They purposed what they never attained to, and they took revenge only that God enriched them, and His Messenger, of His bounty. So if they repent it will be better for them; if they turn away, God will chastise them with a painful chastisement in this world and the next; on the earth they have no protector or helper.

9:75

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ عٰهَدَ اللّٰهَ لَىٕنْ اٰتٰىنَا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَ لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۷۵)

Some of them made a covenant with God: "If You give us in Your bounty we shall give alms and be upright."

And some of them have made covenant with God: 'If He gives us of His bounty, we will make offerings and be of the righteous.'

9:76

فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ بَخِلُوْا بِهٖ وَ تَوَلَّوْا وَّ هُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ(۷۶)

But when He gave them of His bounty they became greedy, and then turned away.

Nevertheless, when He gave them of His bounty they were niggardly of it, and turned away, swerving aside.

9:77

فَاَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلٰى یَوْمِ یَلْقَوْنَهٗ بِمَاۤ اَخْلَفُوا اللّٰهَ مَا وَعَدُوْهُ وَ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْذِبُوْنَ(۷۷)

As a consequence of breaking their promise made to God, and telling lies, he filled their hearts with hypocrisy which will last till the day they come before Him.

So as a consequence He put hypocrisy into their hearts, until the day they meet Him, for that they failed God in that they promised Him and they were liars.

9:78

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَ نَجْوٰىهُمْ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُیُوْبِۚ(۷۸)

Have they not realised that God knows their secrets and their confidential talk, and that God has the knowledge of unknown things?

Did they not know that God knows their secret and what they conspire together, and that God knows the things unseen?

9:79

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَلْمِزُوْنَ الْمُطَّوِّعِیْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ فِی الصَّدَقٰتِ وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ اِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَیَسْخَرُوْنَ مِنْهُمْؕ-سَخِرَ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُمْ٘-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۷۹)

They who defame those of the believers who give alms willingly, and deride those who have nothing besides what they earn by their labour (to give in charity), will be derided by God, and will suffer painful punishment.

Those who find fault with the believers who volunteer their freewill offerings, and those who find nothing but their endeavour they deride -- God derides them; for them awaits a painful chastisement.

9:80

اِسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ اَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْؕ-اِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِیْنَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠(۸۰)

Whether you plead forgiveness for them or not, God will not forgive them, even though you plead seventy times, for they disbelieved in God and His Apostle; and God does not show transgressors the way.

Ask pardon for them, or ask not pardon for them; if thou askest pardon for them seventy times, God will not pardon them; that, because they disbelieved in God and His Messenger; God guides not the people of the ungodly.
