Translation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an - English Translation - Abdullah Hasan Yaqoub * - Translations’ Index
إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّسِيٓءُ زِيَادَةٞ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُحِلُّونَهُۥ عَامٗا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ عَامٗا لِّيُوَاطِـُٔواْ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّواْ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ أَعۡمَٰلِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
37. Indeed, the postponing (of a sacred month to observe it during non-sacred months) is only an increase in denial, wherewith those who disbelieved are led astray, violating it one year and keeping it sacred another, that they may conform the number 'of months' that Allāh has made sacred, and thus violate what Allāh has made sacred. It has been made fair seeming to them the evil of their deeds. Allāh does not guide the denying people.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَا لَكُمۡ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ أَرَضِيتُم بِٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ
38. O believers, what (excuse) have you that when it is said to you: "Go forth 'for war' in Allah’s Cause, you cling heavily to the earth. Are you content with this worldly life instead of the Hereafter? But the enjoyment of this worldly life compared with the Hereafter is but a little.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
إِلَّا تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا وَيَسۡتَبۡدِلۡ قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيۡـٔٗاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ
39. If you do not go forth (for war in the Cause of Allāh), He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you, and you cannot harm Him at all. Allāh has full Power over all things.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدۡ نَصَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِذۡ أَخۡرَجَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثَانِيَ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ إِذۡ هُمَا فِي ٱلۡغَارِ إِذۡ يَقُولُ لِصَٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحۡزَنۡ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَاۖ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِ وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٖ لَّمۡ تَرَوۡهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلسُّفۡلَىٰۗ وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللَّهِ هِيَ ٱلۡعُلۡيَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
40. If you do not aid him (Muhammad),
Then Allāh certainly aided him when those who disbelieved 'in the Truth' expelled him, he being the second of the two15, when they were both in the cave, when he said to his companion: "Do not worry, Allāh is certainly with us." So Allāh sent down His tranquility upon him and strengthened him with hosts 'angelic forces' which you did not see, and made lowest the word of those who denied16; and the Word of Allāh17, that is the Highest; for Allāh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

15. The second was his companion, Abu Bakr.
16. I.e., their claims and slogans of disbelief.
17. I.e., "Laa ilaaha illal laah" (there is no true deity except Allāh).
