Translation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an - English Translation - Abdullah Hasan Yaqoub * - Translations’ Index
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن تُغۡنِيَ عَنۡهُمۡ أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
116. Indeed, those who disbelieve (in Allāh and His messenger Muhammad), neither their wealth nor their children will help them in the least against Allāh 'God'. These are the inmates of the Fire - therein they will abide forever.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
مَثَلُ مَا يُنفِقُونَ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٖ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتۡ حَرۡثَ قَوۡمٖ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فَأَهۡلَكَتۡهُۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِنۡ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ
117. The likeness of what they spend in the life of this world is as the likeness of frosty wind (that) strikes the harvest of a people who have sinned against themselves and destroys it. Allāh has not done injustice to them, but they have wronged themselves.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةٗ مِّن دُونِكُمۡ لَا يَأۡلُونَكُمۡ خَبَالٗا وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ قَدۡ بَدَتِ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءُ مِنۡ أَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَمَا تُخۡفِي صُدُورُهُمۡ أَكۡبَرُۚ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ
118. O believers, do not take for intimate friends 38 other than your own people39. They will not slacken in seeking to harm you. They wish that you would be afflicted. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their chests conceal is even worse. We have made the signs clear to you, if you will understand.
38. As strategic allies, revealing to them your secrets and the particulars of your state of affairs.
39. I.e., the Jews, Christians, and pagans.

Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
هَٰٓأَنتُمۡ أُوْلَآءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمۡ وَلَا يُحِبُّونَكُمۡ وَتُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ كُلِّهِۦ وَإِذَا لَقُوكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡاْ عَضُّواْ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡأَنَامِلَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيۡظِۚ قُلۡ مُوتُواْ بِغَيۡظِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ
119. Here you are, you love them40 but they do not love you41, while you believe in all the (Divine) Books42. When they meet you, they say: "We believe," and when they are alone, they bite their fingertips in rage. Say: "Die in your rage". Indeed, Allāh knows well what is in the chests.
40. On account of their pretence of friendship towards you.
41. Since they oppose you in religion.
42. Such as the Torah and the Gospel, while they disbelieve in the Qur’an, God's Last Message and Testament.

Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
إِن تَمۡسَسۡكُمۡ حَسَنَةٞ تَسُؤۡهُمۡ وَإِن تُصِبۡكُمۡ سَيِّئَةٞ يَفۡرَحُواْ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تَصۡبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ كَيۡدُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔاۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطٞ
120. If good befalls you, it grieves them, and if harm afflicts you, they rejoice at it. But if you have patience and piety, their scheme will not harm you in any way. Indeed, Allāh comprehends what they do.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَإِذۡ غَدَوۡتَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ مَقَٰعِدَ لِلۡقِتَالِۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
121. And (recall) when you (Muhammad) went forth from your household at morning to post the believers at their stations for the battle (of Uhud). And Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
