Ayat [1-5] IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. Ayat [6-10] As thy Lord caused thee to go forth from thy house 1 with the truth, although a sect of the believers were averse therefrom. They wrangled with thee about the truth after it was made plain, as Ayat [11-15] God made it only glad tidings to quiet your hearts therewith; for victory is only from God! verily, God is mighty and wise. Ayat [16-20] O ye who believe! when ye meet those who misbelieve in swarms, turn not to them your hinder parts; for he who turns to them that day his hinder parts. save turning to fight or rallying to a troop, brings down upon himself wrath from God, and his resort is hell, and an ill journey shall it be! Ayat [21-25] O ye who believe! obey God and His Apostle, and turn not from Him while ye hear, and be not like those who say, 'We hear,' and yet they hear not. Ayat [26-30] And fear temptation, which will not light especially on those of you who have done wrong; but know that God is keen to punish. Ayat [31-35] And when those who, misbelieve were crafty with thee to detain thee a prisoner, or kill thee, or drive thee forth; they were crafty, but God was crafty too, for God is best of crafty ones! Ayat [36-40] Their prayer at the House was naught but whistling and clapping hands!--taste then the torment for that ye misbelieved! Ayat [41-45] Fight them then that there should be no sedition, and that the religion may be wholly God's; but if they desist, then God on what they do doth look. But if they turn their backs, then know that God is your Lord; a good Lord is He, and a good help; and know that whenever ye seize anything as Ayat [46-50] When God showed thee them in thy dream as though they were but few; but had He shown thee them as though they were many, ye would have been timid, and ye would have quarrelled about the matter;--but God preserved you; verily, He knows the nature of men's breasts! Ayat [51-55] And when Satan made their works appear seemly to them, and said, 'There is none amongst mankind to conquer you to-day, for, verily, I am your neighbour!' and when the two troops came in sight of each other, he turned upon his heels and said, 'Verily, I am clear of you! verily, I see what you see not 1! verily, I fear God, for God is keen to punish!' Ayat [56-60] That is because God is not one to change a favour He has favoured a people with, until they change what they have in themselves, and for that God both hears and knows. Ayat [61-65] And shouldst thou ever fear from any people treachery, then throw it back to them in like manner; verily, God loves not the treacherous. Deem not that those who misbelieve can win; verily, they cannot make (God) Powerless! Ayat [66-70] O thou prophet! God is sufficient for thee, with those of the believers who follow thee! O thou Ayat [71-75] O thou prophet! say to such of the captives as are in your hands, 'If God knows of any good in your hearts, he will give you better than that which is taken from you, and will forgive you; for God is forgiving and merciful.' Ayat [76-80] Those who believe and have fled and fought strenuously in God's cause, and those who have given a refuge and a help, those it is who believe; to them is forgiveness and generous provision due. And those who have believed afterwards and have fled and fought strenuously with you; these too are of you, but blood relations are nearer in kin by the Book of God. Verily, God all things doth know. |
