Muhammad

Vers: 1

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَضَلَّ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

1. Those who deny 'the Truth' and avert 'people' from Allah’s Way 'Islam', He 'Allāh' will render their 'good' deeds void.

Vers: 2

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَءَامَنُواْ بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡ كَفَّرَ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَأَصۡلَحَ بَالَهُمۡ

2. But those who believe and do righteous deeds¹, and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad², and it is the very Truth from their Lord 'Allāh', He will expiate from them their sins, and will make good their condition. 

1. The companions of the Prophet said: "While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: "Who amongst you is Muhammad?" At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us leaning on his arm. We replied: "This white man reclining on his arm." The man then addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib."The Prophet said: "I am here to answer your questions." The man said to the Prophet: "I want to ask you something and will be hard in questioning. So do not get angry." The Prophet said, "Ask whatever you want." The man said, "I ask you by your Lord, and the Lord of those who were before you, has Allāh 'God' sent you as a messenger to all the mankind?" The Prophet replied, "By Allāh, yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allāh, has Allāh ordered you to offer five prayers in a day and night? He replied, "By Allāh, Yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allāh, has Allāh ordered you to observe fasts during this month of the year (i.e. in Ramadan)?" He replied, "By Allāh, yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allāh, has Allāh ordered you to take Zakat (obligatory alms) from our rich people and distribute it amongst our poor people?" The Prophet replied, "By Allāh, yes." Thereupon that man said, "I have believed in all that with which you have been sent, and I have been sent by my people as an envoy."
2. Muhammad, God's messenger said: "My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say, 'Would that this brick be put in its place'. I am the illuminating lamp that lights the dark and I am the stone that the builders refused. This is really a prophecy referring to Prophet Muhammad mentioned in the Psalm 118: "The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner," (Psalm 118:22). And Jesus mentioned again in the Gospel. "Jesus said unto them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner ?" (Matthew 21:42). The Jewish had refused Ishmael and also the Prophet Muhammad as God's last and final messenger, but the day would come when they would have to confess their sad mistake.

Vers: 3

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ وَأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلۡحَقَّ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَمۡثَٰلَهُمۡ

3. This is because those who deny 'Allāh and His messenger Muhammad' follow falsehood, while the believers follow the Truth from their Lord 'Allāh'. Thus does Allāh set forth for mankind their examples.

Vers: 4

فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَضَرۡبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَثۡخَنتُمُوهُمۡ فَشُدُّواْ ٱلۡوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنَّۢا بَعۡدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلۡحَرۡبُ أَوۡزَارَهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَلَوۡ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَٱنتَصَرَ مِنۡهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَبۡلُوَاْ بَعۡضَكُم بِبَعۡضٖۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

4. So, when you encounter the disbelievers 'in battle', smite 'their' necks until when you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind a bond firmly 'on them', and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom themselves until the war ends 'and peace prevails'. That is 'Our command'. If Allāh had willed, He Himself would certainly have chastised them, but He wants to test some of you by means of others. Those who are killed in the Cause of Allāh, never will He render their 'good' deeds void.

Vers: 5

سَيَهۡدِيهِمۡ وَيُصۡلِحُ بَالَهُمۡ

5. He will guide them and set their state aright.

Vers: 6

وَيُدۡخِلُهُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمۡ

6. And will admit them into the Paradise which He has made known to them.

Vers: 7

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن تَنصُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ يَنصُرۡكُمۡ وَيُثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَكُمۡ

7. O believers, if you help 'the Cause of' Allāh, He will help you, and make firm your feet (on the battle ground).

Vers: 8

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَتَعۡسٗا لَّهُمۡ وَأَضَلَّ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

8. But the unbelievers, for them is misery, and He will render their deeds void.

Vers: 9

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَرِهُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأَحۡبَطَ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

9. This is because they hated what Allāh 'God' has sent down 'of the Qur’an', so He rendered their deeds worthless.

Vers: 10

۞ أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۖ دَمَّرَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ وَلِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡثَٰلُهَا

10. Have they not traveled throughout the land to see how was the end of those before them. Allāh brought down destruction upon them 'for their sins', and the deniers will also face a similar perdition.

Vers: 11

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَوۡلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَأَنَّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَا مَوۡلَىٰ لَهُمۡ

11. This is because Allāh is the Protector of the believers, but the deniers have no protector.

Vers: 12

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَتَمَتَّعُونَ وَيَأۡكُلُونَ كَمَا تَأۡكُلُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ وَٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوٗى لَّهُمۡ

12. Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds Gardens under which rivers flow. But the unbelievers enjoy themselves 'in this world' and eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will be their final abode.

Vers: 13

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ هِيَ أَشَدُّ قُوَّةٗ مِّن قَرۡيَتِكَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَخۡرَجَتۡكَ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمۡ

13. How many a 'sinful' town We destroyed which was more powerful than your town 'Makkah' that expelled you, and there was none to help them.

Vers: 14

أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ كَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُۥ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُم

14. Is he who has a clear Proof from his Lord 'Allāh' like him to whom the evil of his work is made fair seeming, and follow 'only' their lowly desires?

Vers: 15

مَّثَلُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِي وُعِدَ ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَۖ فِيهَآ أَنۡهَٰرٞ مِّن مَّآءٍ غَيۡرِ ءَاسِنٖ وَأَنۡهَٰرٞ مِّن لَّبَنٖ لَّمۡ يَتَغَيَّرۡ طَعۡمُهُۥ وَأَنۡهَٰرٞ مِّنۡ خَمۡرٖ لَّذَّةٖ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ وَأَنۡهَٰرٞ مِّنۡ عَسَلٖ مُّصَفّٗىۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ وَمَغۡفِرَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡۖ كَمَنۡ هُوَ خَٰلِدٞ فِي ٱلنَّارِ وَسُقُواْ مَآءً حَمِيمٗا فَقَطَّعَ أَمۡعَآءَهُمۡ

15. The description of the Paradise which is promised to the righteous is that in which there are rivers of pure water, rivers of milk of unchangeable taste, rivers of wine delicious for drinkers, and rivers of crystal clear purified honey. They will have therein all 'kinds of' fruits and forgiveness from 'Allāh' their Lord. 'Are these' like those who will abide in the Hellfire forever, and are given to drink boiling water that cuts-up their intestines to bits and pieces?

Vers: 16

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَسۡتَمِعُ إِلَيۡكَ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا خَرَجُواْ مِنۡ عِندِكَ قَالُواْ لِلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ مَاذَا قَالَ ءَانِفًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ

16. Among them are those who 'pretend to' listen to you 'Muhammad', but when they go out from you, they say to those who have been given the knowledge: "What has he said just now?" These are the ones upon whose hearts Allāh has set a seal, and who follow their lowly desires.

Vers: 17

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ زَادَهُمۡ هُدٗى وَءَاتَىٰهُمۡ تَقۡوَىٰهُمۡ

17. But those who are 'rightly' guided, Allāh increases them in guidance and grants them their righteousness.

Vers: 18

فَهَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءَ أَشۡرَاطُهَاۚ فَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمۡ إِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ذِكۡرَىٰهُمۡ

18. Do they then wait for anything except the Hour 'of Doom- that it should come to them all of a sudden? Its Signs have already come. what use will it be then their remembrance3?

3. The appearance of The Antichrist, the descent of Jesus son of Mary, the swift assault by Gog and Magog, the appearance of the beast to admonish the people, and the rising of the sun from the West.

Vers: 19

فَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمۡ وَمَثۡوَىٰكُمۡ

19. So know that there is no god 'worthy of worship' except Allāh3. Ask forgiveness for your sin, and for 'the sins of' the believing men and women. For Allāh knows well your movements and your resting place.

3. The Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him said: "Whoever says: There is no god but Allāh and disbelieves in what is worshiped other than Allāh, his wealth and blood are forbidden, and his reckoning is with Allāh."

Vers: 20

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَتۡ سُورَةٞۖ فَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتۡ سُورَةٞ مُّحۡكَمَةٞ وَذُكِرَ فِيهَا ٱلۡقِتَالُ رَأَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيۡكَ نَظَرَ ٱلۡمَغۡشِيِّ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۖ فَأَوۡلَىٰ لَهُمۡ

20. And the believers say: "Why has not a Chapter (about fighting for the Cause of God) sent down 'to us'?" But when a decisive Chapter 'of the Qur’an' is revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein, you will see those in whose hearts is a sickness 'of hypocrisy' look to you with the look of one suffering the agony of death. Woe to them.

Vers: 21

طَاعَةٞ وَقَوۡلٞ مَّعۡرُوفٞۚ فَإِذَا عَزَمَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ فَلَوۡ صَدَقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۡ

21. (Better for them would have been) obedience 'to Allāh' and good words. When the matter (of fighting against the forces of evil) is decided, if they had been true to Allāh, it would certainly have been better for them.

Vers: 22

فَهَلۡ عَسَيۡتُمۡ إِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ أَن تُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوٓاْ أَرۡحَامَكُمۡ

22. Would you then, if you turn away4 cause corruption in the land and sever the ties of kinship5?

4. Another meaning: Would you then, if you held authority in the land, you would disobey (Allāh), spread mischief, and violate the family ties.
5. Muhammad, God's Messenger, said: "Three (types of people) will not enter Paradise: (1) the habitual wine (alcohol) drinker, (2) the believer in sorcery (and astrology is among it), and (3) the one who severs the ties of kinship."

Vers: 23

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمۡ وَأَعۡمَىٰٓ أَبۡصَٰرَهُمۡ

23. These it is whom Allāh has cursed so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes 'to the Truth'.

Vers: 24

أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ أَمۡ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقۡفَالُهَآ

24. Do they not then reflect on the Qur’an? Or are there locks on their hearts?6

6. Out of the heart come evil thoughts. The state of our heart matters because evil residing there can overflow into our lives. Both our exterior and interior matter.
One of the most powerful ways to grow in our relationship with Allāh is to read the Qur’an. Allāh (God) reveals Himself to us through the Qur’an that we might know Him well. The Qur’an grant us guidance on how to live in this life and provide comfort when we face times of sorrow. In addition to that, it is the Word of Allāh that protects us from evil. The Word of Allāh offers freedom, healing, and hope.

Vers: 25

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱرۡتَدُّواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَٰرِهِم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡهُدَى ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمۡ وَأَمۡلَىٰ لَهُمۡ

25. Those who have turned their backs 'as apostates' after the guidance has become clear to them, it is Satan who enticed them, filling them with false hopes.

Vers: 26

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لِلَّذِينَ كَرِهُواْ مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ سَنُطِيعُكُمۡ فِي بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ إِسۡرَارَهُمۡ

26. This is because they say to those who hate what Allāh has sent down 'of revelation': "We shall obey you in certain matters." But Allāh knows their secrets.

Vers: 27

فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا تَوَفَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَضۡرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمۡ وَأَدۡبَٰرَهُمۡ

27. But how will it be when the angels take their souls, striking their faces and backs.

Vers: 28

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّبَعُواْ مَآ أَسۡخَطَ ٱللَّهَ وَكَرِهُواْ رِضۡوَٰنَهُۥ فَأَحۡبَطَ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

28. This is because they follow what is displeasing to Allāh and are averse to His pleasure, so He has made void their deeds.

Vers: 29

أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَن لَّن يُخۡرِجَ ٱللَّهُ أَضۡغَٰنَهُمۡ

29. Or do those in whose hearts is a sickness 'of hypocrisy' think that Allāh will never bring out their malice?

Vers: 30

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَأَرَيۡنَٰكَهُمۡ فَلَعَرَفۡتَهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمۡۚ وَلَتَعۡرِفَنَّهُمۡ فِي لَحۡنِ ٱلۡقَوۡلِۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ

30. Had We willed, We could have shown them to you, so that you would certainly have recognized them by their marks and you can recognize them by the tone of 'their' speech. Allāh knows all your deeds.

Vers: 31

وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُمۡ حَتَّىٰ نَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡمُجَٰهِدِينَ مِنكُمۡ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَنَبۡلُوَاْ أَخۡبَارَكُمۡ

31. We shall certainly test you until We prove those among you who strive hard (for the Cause of Allāh), and the patient ones, and make your case manifest.

Vers: 32

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَشَآقُّواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَسَيُحۡبِطُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

Vers: 33

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَلَا تُبۡطِلُوٓاْ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ

33. O believers, obey Allāh and obey the messenger 'Muhammad', and do not invalidate your 'good' deeds7.

7. One of the well-established facts that is affirmed by the Qur’an is that sins and major sins do not erase all of the good deeds of the believer, and that there is nothing that erases the good deeds of a believer altogether except denial of faith and polytheism i.e., associating partners (equals) with Allāh.

Vers: 34

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٞ فَلَن يَغۡفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡ

34. Those who deny 'the Truth' and hinder 'people' from Allah’s Way, then die while they are deniers - Allāh will never forgive them.

Vers: 35

فَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَتَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّلۡمِ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَكُمۡ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ

35. So do not be weak hearted and do not appeal for 'unjust' peace 'settlement'; you have the upper hand. For Allāh is with you, and He will never decrease the reward of your good deeds.

Vers: 36

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لَعِبٞ وَلَهۡوٞۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ يُؤۡتِكُمۡ أُجُورَكُمۡ وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلۡكُمۡ أَمۡوَٰلَكُمۡ

36. The life of this world is only play and passing delight. If you believe8 and fear Allāh, and shun evil, He will give you your rewards, and will not ask you your wealth9.

8. in Allāh and His messenger Muhammad
9. All of it, rather, only the alms that are required from it for the poor.

Vers: 37

إِن يَسۡـَٔلۡكُمُوهَا فَيُحۡفِكُمۡ تَبۡخَلُواْ وَيُخۡرِجۡ أَضۡغَٰنَكُمۡ

37. If He were to ask you of it, and urge you, you would be niggardly, and He will bring out your malice.

Vers: 38

هَٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ تُدۡعَوۡنَ لِتُنفِقُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَّن يَبۡخَلُۖ وَمَن يَبۡخَلۡ فَإِنَّمَا يَبۡخَلُ عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦۚ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡفُقَرَآءُۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوۡاْ يَسۡتَبۡدِلۡ قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوٓاْ أَمۡثَٰلَكُم

38. Here you are - being called to spend in the cause of Allāh 'God- - but among you are those who are stingy. Whoever is stingy, is stingy against his own self. Allāh is Rich (free of all needs) and you are poor who stand in need 'of Him'. If you 'still' turn away, He will replace you with another people, then they will not be like you.
