47:0
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
اَلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ(۱)
THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE and obstruct (others) from the way of God will have wasted their deeds.
Those who disbelieve and bar from God's way, God will send their works astray.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ اٰمَنُوْا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْۙ-كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَ اَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ(۲)
But those who believe and do the right, and believe what has been revealed to Muhammad, which is the truth from their Lord, will have their faults condoned by Him and their state improved.
But those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what is sent down to Muhammad -- and it is the truth from their Lord -- He will acquit them of their evil deeds, and dispose their minds aright.
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَ اَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ اَمْثَالَهُمْ(۳)
That is because those who refuse to believe only follow what is false; but those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. That is how God gives men precepts of wisdom.
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Even so God strikes their similitudes for men.
فَاِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَاۤ اَثْخَنْتُمُوْهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَۙ-فَاِمَّا مَنًّۢا بَعْدُ وَ اِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتّٰى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ اَوْزَارَهَا ﲰذٰلِكَ ﳍوَ لَوْ یَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ لَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ لِّیَبْلُوَاۡ بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ قُتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَنْ یُّضِلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ(۴)
So, when you clash with the unbelievers, smite their necks until you overpower them, then hold them in bondage. Then either free them graciously or after taking a ransom, until war shall have come to end. If God had pleased He could have punished them (Himself), but He wills to test some of you through some others. He will not allow the deeds of those who are killed in the cause of God to go waste.
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if God had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of God, He will not send their works astray.
He will guide them, and dispose their minds aright,
وَ یُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ(۶)
And will admit them into gardens with which he has acquainted them.
and He will admit them to Paradise, that He has made known to them.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللّٰهَ یَنْصُرْكُمْ وَ یُثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَكُمْ(۷)
O you who believe, if you help (in the cause of) God He will surely come to your aid, and firmly plant your feet.
O believers, if you help God, He will help you, and confirm your feet.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَتَعْسًا لَّهُمْ وَ اَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ(۸)
As for the unbelievers, they will suffer misfortunes, and their deeds will be rendered ineffective.
But as for the unbelievers, ill chance shall befall them! He will send their works astray.
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوْا مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ(۹)
That is so as they were averse to what has been revealed by God, and their actions will be nullified.
That is because they have been averse to what God has sent down, so He has made their works to fail.
اَفَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَیَنْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْؕ-دَمَّرَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ٘-وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ اَمْثَالُهَا(۱۰)
Have they not journeyed in the land and seen the fate of those before them? Destroyed they were utterly by God; and a similar (fate) awaits the unbelievers.
What, have they not journeyed in the land and beheld how was the end of those before them? God destroyed them; the unbelievers shall have the likes thereof.
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلَى الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ اَنَّ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ لَا مَوْلٰى لَهُمْ۠(۱۱)
This is so for God is the friend of those who believe while the unbelievers have no friend.
That is because God is the Protector of the believers, and that the unbelievers have no protector.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُدْخِلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَتَمَتَّعُوْنَ وَ یَاْكُلُوْنَ كَمَا تَاْكُلُ الْاَنْعَامُ وَ النَّارُ مَثْوًى لَّهُمْ(۱۲)
Verily God will admit those who believe and do the right into gardens with streams of water running by. But the unbelievers revel and carouse and subsist like beasts, and Hell will be their residence.
God shall surely admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into gardens underneath which rivers flow. As for the unbelievers, they take their enjoyment and eat as cattle eat; and the Fire shall be their lodging.
وَ كَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ هِیَ اَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِّنْ قَرْیَتِكَ الَّتِیْۤ اَخْرَجَتْكَۚ-اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ(۱۳)
How many were the habitations, mightier than your city which has turned you out, which We destroyed; and they did not have a helper.
How many a city that was stronger in might than thy city which has expelled thee have We destroyed! And there was no helper for them.
اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰى بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ كَمَنْ زُیِّنَ لَهٗ سُوْٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَ اتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ(۱۴)
Can one who stands on a clear proof from his Lord, be like one enamoured of his evil deeds and follows his inane desires?
What, is he who is upon a clear sign from his Lord like unto such a one unto whom his evil deeds have been decked out fair, and they have followed their caprices?
مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَؕ-فِیْهَاۤ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ مَّآءٍ غَیْرِ اٰسِنٍۚ-وَ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ یَتَغَیَّرْ طَعْمُهٗۚ-وَ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ ﳛ وَ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ عَسَلٍ مُّصَفًّىؕ-وَ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ وَ مَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْؕ-كَمَنْ هُوَ خَالِدٌ فِی النَّارِ وَ سُقُوْا مَآءً حَمِیْمًا فَقَطَّعَ اَمْعَآءَهُمْ(۱۵)
The semblance of Paradise promised the pious and devout (is that of a garden) with streams of water that will not go rank, and rivers of milk whose taste will not undergo a change, and rivers of wine delectable to drinkers, and streams of purified honey, and fruits of every kind in them, and forgiveness of their Lord. Are these like those who will live for ever in the Fire and be given boiling water to drink which will cut their intestines to shreds?
This is the similitude of Paradise which the godfearing have been promised: therein are rivers of water unstaling, rivers of milk unchanging in flavour, and rivers of wine -- a delight to the drinkers, rivers, too, of honey purified; and therein for them is every fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord -- Are they as he who dwells forever in the Fire, such as are given to drink boiling water, that tears their bowels asunder?
وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّسْتَمِعُ اِلَیْكَۚ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا خَرَجُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ مَا ذَا قَالَ اٰنِفًا- اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ وَ اتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ(۱۶)
There are some who listen to you; but as soon as they go from you they say to those who were given knowledge: "What is this he is saying now?" They are those whose hearts have been sealed by God, and they follow their own lusts.
And some of them there are give ear to thee, till, when they go forth from thee, they say to those who have been given knowledge, 'What said he just now?' Those are they upon whose hearts God has set a seal, and they have followed their caprices.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ اهْتَدَوْا زَادَهُمْ هُدًى وَّ اٰتٰىهُمْ تَقْوٰىهُمْ(۱۷)
But those who are rightly guided will be given greater guidance by Him, and they will have their intrinsic piety.
But those who are guided aright, them He increases in guidance, and gives them their godfearing.
فَهَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ بَغْتَةًۚ-فَقَدْ جَآءَ اَشْرَاطُهَاۚ-فَاَنّٰى لَهُمْ اِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرٰىهُمْ(۱۸)
Do they wait for any thing but the Hour (of change), that it may come upon them suddenly? Its signs have already appeared. How then will they be warned when it has come upon them?
Are they looking for aught but the Hour, that it shall come upon them suddenly? Already its tokens have come; so, when it has come to them, how shall they have their Reminder?
فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْۢبِكَ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَ مَثْوٰىكُمْ۠(۱۹)
Know then, therefore, there is no god but He, and ask forgiveness for your sins and those of believing men and women. God knows your wanderings and your destination.
Know thou therefore that there is no god but God, and ask forgiveness for thy sin, and for the believers, men and women. God knows your going to and fro, and your lodging.
وَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَوْ لَا نُزِّلَتْ سُوْرَةٌۚ-فَاِذَاۤ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ مُّحْكَمَةٌ وَّ ذُكِرَ فِیْهَا الْقِتَالُۙ-رَاَیْتَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ یَّنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ نَظَرَ الْمَغْشِیِّ عَلَیْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِؕ-فَاَوْلٰى لَهُمْۚ(۲۰)
Those who believe say: "How is it no Surah was revealed?" But when a categorical Surah is revealed that mentions war, you should see those who are sceptical staring at you like a man in the swoon of death. Alas the woe for them!
Those who believe say, 'Why has a sura not been sent down?' Then, when a clear sura is sent down, and therein fighting is mentioned, thou seest those in whose hearts is sickness looking at thee as one who swoons of death; but better for them would be
طَاعَةٌ وَّ قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوْفٌ- فَاِذَا عَزَمَ الْاَمْرُ- فَلَوْ صَدَقُوا اللّٰهَ لَكَانَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْۚ(۲۱)
Obedience and modest speech (would have been more becoming). And when the matter has been determined it is best for them to be true to God.
obedience, and words honourable. Then, when the matter is resolved, if they were true to God, it would be better for them.
فَهَلْ عَسَیْتُمْ اِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ اَنْ تُفْسِدُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ تُقَطِّعُوْۤا اَرْحَامَكُمْ(۲۲)
Is it possible that if placed in authority you will create disorder in the land and sever your bonds of relationship?
If you turned away, would you then haply work corruption in the land, and break your bonds of kin?
اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فَاَصَمَّهُمْ وَ اَعْمٰۤى اَبْصَارَهُمْ(۲۳)
They are those who were condemned by God, whose ears were blocked by Him and their eyes blinded.
Those are they whom God has cursed, and so made them deaf, and blinded their eyes.
اَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَ اَمْ عَلٰى قُلُوْبٍ اَقْفَالُهَا(۲۴)
Do they not ponder on what the Qur´an says? Or have their hearts been sealed with locks?
What, do they not ponder the Koran? Or is it that there are locks upon their hearts?
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ ارْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۤى اَدْبَارِهِمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدَىۙ-الشَّیْطٰنُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْؕ-وَ اَمْلٰى لَهُمْ(۲۵)
Those who turn their backs after the way of guidance has been opened to them, have been surely tempted by Satan and beguiled by illusory hopes.
Those who have turned back in their traces after the guidance has become clear to them, Satan it was that tempted them, and God respited them.
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ كَرِهُوْا مَا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ سَنُطِیْعُكُمْ فِیْ بَعْضِ الْاَمْرِۚۖ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِسْرَارَهُمْ(۲۶)
This was so because they said to those who disdain what God has revealed: "We shall obey you in some things." But God knows their secret intentions well.
That is because they said to those who were averse to what God sent down, 'We will obey you in some of the affair'; and God knows their secrets.
فَكَیْفَ اِذَا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ یَضْرِبُوْنَ وُجُوْهَهُمْ وَ اَدْبَارَهُمْ(۲۷)
How will it be when the angels draw out their souls striking their faces and their backs?
How shall it be, when the angels take them, beating their faces and their backs?
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعُوْا مَاۤ اَسْخَطَ اللّٰهَ وَ كَرِهُوْا رِضْوَانَهٗ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ۠(۲۸)
Because they followed what displeases God, and they were averse to pleasing Him. So We nullified their deeds.
That is because they have followed what angers God, and have been averse to His good pleasure, so He has made their works to fail.
اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَنْ لَّنْ یُّخْرِ جَ اللّٰهُ اَضْغَانَهُمْ(۲۹)
Do they whose minds are filled with doubt, think that God will not expose their malice?
Or did those in whose hearts is sickness think that God would not bring to light their rancour?
وَ لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَاَرَیْنٰكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُمْ بِسِیْمٰىهُمْؕ-وَ لَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِیْ لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اَعْمَالَكُمْ(۳۰)
Had We pleased We could have shown them to you that you could know them by their marks, and recognise them from the way they twist their words. Yet God knows all your deeds.
Did We will, We would show them to thee, then thou wouldst know them by their mark; and thou shalt certainly know them in the twisting of their speech; and God knows your deeds.
وَ لَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتّٰى نَعْلَمَ الْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَۙ-وَ نَبْلُوَاۡ اَخْبَارَكُمْ(۳۱)
We shall try you in order to know who are the fighters among you, and who are men of fortitude, and verify your histories.
And We shall assuredly try you until We know those of you who struggle and are steadfast, and try your tidings.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ شَآقُّوا الرَّسُوْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدٰىۙ-لَنْ یَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَ سَیُحْبِطُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ(۳۲)
Surely those who do not believe, and obstruct others from the path of God, and oppose the Prophet after the way of guidance has been opened to them, will not hurt God in the least, and He will nullify all that they have done.
Those who disbelieve and bar from God's way and make a breach with the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to them, they will nothing hurt God, and He will make their works to fail.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَ لَا تُبْطِلُوْۤا اَعْمَالَكُمْ(۳۳)
O you who believe, obey God and the Prophet, and do not waste your deeds.
O believers, obey God, and obey the Messenger, and do not make your own works vain.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوْا وَ هُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ(۳۴)
Those who do not believe and obstruct others from the way of God, and die disbelieving, will not be pardoned by God.
Those who disbelieve and bar from God's way and then die disbelieving, them God will not forgive.
فَلَا تَهِنُوْا وَ تَدْعُوْۤا اِلَى السَّلْمِ ﳓ وَ اَنْتُمُ الْاَعْلَوْنَ ﳓ وَ اللّٰهُ مَعَكُمْ وَ لَنْ یَّتِرَكُمْ اَعْمَالَكُمْ(۳۵)
So do not become weak-kneed and sue for peace, for you will have the upper hand as God is with you and will not overlook your deeds.
So do not faint and call for peace; you shall be the upper ones, and God is with you, and will not deprive you of your works.
اِنَّمَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا لَعِبٌ وَّ لَهْوٌؕ-وَ اِنْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَ تَتَّقُوْا یُؤْتِكُمْ اُجُوْرَكُمْ وَ لَا یَسْــٴَـلْكُمْ اَمْوَالَكُمْ(۳۶)
Verily the life of this world is no more than a sport and frivolity. If you believe and fear God, he will give you your reward, and will not ask for your possessions.
The present life is naught but a sport and a diversion; and if you believe and are godfearing, He will give you your wages, and will not ask of you your goods.
اِنْ یَّسْــٴَـلْكُمُوْهَا فَیُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوْا وَ یُخْرِ جْ اَضْغَانَكُمْ(۳۷)
If He asks for all you possess and insist upon it, you will become niggardly, and it will bring out your malevolence.
If He asks you for them, and presses you, you are niggardly, and He brings to light your rancour.
هٰۤاَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنْفِقُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِۚ-فَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یَّبْخَلُۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّبْخَلْ فَاِنَّمَا یَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ الْغَنِیُّ وَ اَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَآءُۚ-وَ اِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا یَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْۙ-ثُمَّ لَا یَكُوْنُوْۤا اَمْثَالَكُمْ۠(۳۸)
Beware! You are called to spend in the way of God, yet some among you close their fists. But he who is niggardly is so for his own self: God is above need, and it is you who are needy. If you turn away then God will bring other people in your place who, moreover, will not be like you.
Ha, there you are; you are called upon to expend in God's way, and some of you are niggardly. Whoso is niggardly is niggardly only to his own soul. God is the All-sufficient; you are the needy ones. If you turn away, He will substitute another people instead of you, then they will not be your likes.
