1. The Qur’an is made up of such letters froThe Qur’an is made up of such letters from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unmatched masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Although these disjointed Arabic letters are referring to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best its meaning.
3. He has revealed to you (Muhammad) the Book (Qur’an) in truth, confirming that which precedes it (of Divine Scriptures), and He has revealed the Torah and the Evangel2.
2. Injīl (Evangel; Gospel) is the Arabic name for the Scripture that was given to Jesus.-Injīl, in Islam, is not to be identified with the extant biblical ‘New Testament’; rather it is believed, as told in the Qur’an, to have been revealed to Prophet Jesus, son of Mary, as a whole. It is also believed to have either been lost or corrupted. The same goes for the Torah, to a great extent. Not all the words in the todays Bible are God’s words. But there are some words of the bible are God's which is confirmed by the Qur’an. Any one who says that the words of the bible are all the words of God is blaspheming God. The Qur'an is unique in being the only Book that is free of inaccuracies, whose text has been so carefully preserved and are all God's Words.
4. Before, as a guide for the people, and 'also' revealed the Criterion "to distinguish between right and wrong 'this Qur’an'". Surely those who deny the revelations of Allāh shall have a severe torment. For Allāh is All-Mighty, All-Able of Retribution.
7. It is He Who has revealed to you 'Muhammad' the Book (this Qur’an). Some of its Verses are entirely clear, they are the basis of the Book, and others are ambiguous. Those whose hearts are perverse, follow the unclear statements, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. No one knows its true interpretation except Allāh. Those who are firm in knowledge say: "We believe in it, all its Verses are from 'Allāh' our Lord." But none will take heed except people of sound understanding.
10. Those who deny (the Truth) neither their wealth nor their children will help them in the least against Allāh. It is they who are the fuel of the Fire.
11. Like the custom of the people of Pharaoh, and those before them. They denied Our signs, so Allāh seized them for their sins. Allāh is Severe in Punishment.
12. Say to those who deny (the Truth and oppose the Peace), "You shall be overcome and gathered together to Gehinnom (Hell)." Miserable is that dwelling place.
13. Indeed, there is a sign for you in the two armies (which) met together (at the battle of Badr) - one party fighting for the Cause of Allāh, and another of deniers. They 'the believers' saw them 'to be' twice their own number with the sight of the eye 'while they were three times their number'. But Allāh strengthens with His aid whom He wills. There is certainly a lesson in this for the people of true vision.
14. Love of worldly desires of women, children, accumulated treasures of gold and silver, well bred horses, cattle, and farms, are made attractive to people. That is the pleasure of the life of this world3, but with Allāh is the excellent place of return.
3. Righteousness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. If we have our daily food, clothing, home, health and peace, with these one must be content. Those who desire to be rich by any means fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. Muhammad, the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The one among you who wakes up secure in his property, healthy in his body and has his food for the day, it is as if the whole world were brought to him.”
15. Say: Shall I tell you what is better than that4? For those who fear Allāh and keep His commandments are gardens with their Lord 'Allāh' under which rivers flow, to abide therein forever with purified wives and Pleasure from Allāh. For Allāh is All-Seeing of (His) slaves (of mankind and Jinn).
4. It is human nature to desire such things as are alluring. But the true Faith requires resisting worldly temptations, putting them second to seeking Allah’s Pleasure, and devoting oneself to Allāh by following the Prophet Muhammad as his example.
17. (They are) the patient, the truthful, the obedient, the 'cheerful' givers 'in God's way', and who pray and beseech Allah's Forgiveness in the last part of the night.
18. Allāh Himself testifies that there is no god (worthy of worship) except Him; the angels and the men of knowledge testify to that too and that He 'Allāh' is the Upholder of justice. There is no (true) deity except Him, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
19. Certainly, the (true) religion in the sight of Allāh 'God' is Islam5, and those to whom the Scripture had been given did not differ in the matters of religion except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy and hostility among themselves. Whoever denies the revelations of Allāh, then surely Allāh is swift in Reckoning.
5. The meaning of the word "Islām" is "submission to the will of God." This is the way of life ordained by God and taught by all of the prophets from Adam to Muḥammad (ﷺ). It conveys two meanings: yielding and surrender, and devoting one’s surrender to Allāh (God) alone. A Muslim is one who submits and surrenders himself to God.
20. If they dispute with you 'Muhammad' say: "I have submitted myself entirely to Allāh and (so have) all who follow me." Say to those who have been given the Scripture and the unlearned (i.e., the pagans): "Have you embraced Islam?" If they embrace Islam, then they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, your task is only to convey (the Message clearly). Allāh is All-Seeing of (His) slaves (of mankind and jinn).
21. Indeed, those who deny Allah’s revelations, kill the Prophets unjustly6, and kill those who call people to be just - give them tidings of a painful torment.
6. According to the bible, Jesus said: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee” (Matthew xxiii, 37). See also Matthew xxiii, 34-35, Luke xi, 51.
23. (Muhammad), have you not seen those (Jews) who were given a portion of the Scripture, when called to the Book of Allāh (this Qur’an) to judge between them, a part of them turn away with disregard.
24. This is because they claim, "Never will the Fire touch us except for a few days7." What they have invented (of polytheistic beliefs) deceives them in the matter of their deeds.
7. Such as falsely saying that they will only enter Fire, as Punishment for their sins, for a few days and then they will be entered into Paradise.
25. So how will it be when We gather them together on the inevitable Day when every soul will be fully paid what it has earned, and none will be dealt unjustly?
26. Say, "O Allāh, Lord over all authorities, You give authority to whomever You will, and take it away from whomever You will. You give honor to whomever You will and humiliate whomever You will. In Your Hand is 'all' the good. You "alone" are Most Capable of everything.
27. You cause the night to enter into the day and the day to enter into the night. You cause the living to come out of the dead and the dead to come out of the living. You provide provision to whomsoever You will, without limit.
28. The believers should not take the deniers as intimates and allies instead of the believers. Whoever does so has nothing to hope from Allāh, unless you do it out of fear8. Allāh warns you about Himself. To Allāh is the final return.
8. Believers are given permission here to appease the deniers with their tongues, yet their hearts are to remain firm in Faith.
29. Say, "Allāh knows all that you may conceal in your chests or you may reveal. For He knows all that is in the heavens and the earth. Allāh has full Power over all things.
30. On the Day when every soul shall find present what it has done of good, and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between it and that (evil) there was a great distance. Allāh warns you about Himself. Allāh is Kind to (His) slaves (of mankind and jinn).
31. (Muhammad) say, "If you love Allāh 'God'9, follow me - Allāh will love you and forgive your sins. For Allāh is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.
9. If you love God - you are patient, loving, kind, and merciful; you don't envy or boast; you are not arrogant or rude. You do not knowingly insist on the wrong way; rather, you will follow the Way of God (Islam).
33. Indeed, Allāh chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran (Amram) over all the people of the world10.
10. Allāh chose them above all people of their times: Adam whom Allāh created with His own hands, made the angels do obeisance to him; Noah, whom He made the first bearer of His message to humanity; Abraham, the beloved of Allāh, and his descendants among whom is a great number of prophets, including Muhammad (ﷺ), the final and last messenger of Allāh; the Family of ‘Imrān: ‘Amram' and his wife, their daughter Mary and her son Jesus, who is one of the greatest prophets of children of Israel.
35. When the spouse of Imraan said: 'Lord 'Allāh', "I have made a vow to dedicate to Your service what is in my womb. So accept it from me. You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."
36. When she delivered, she said: "Lord, I have delivered a female, and Allāh knew best what she delivered. The male and the female are not alike. I have named her Maryam 'Mary', and I commend her and her offspring (Jesus) into Your Protection from the accursed Satan11.
11. The Prophet Muhammad said: “Every newborn child is touched by the devil and they start off by wailing because of this touch, except Mary and her son Jesus ”.
37. So her Lord 'Allāh' accepted her offer with a good acceptance, and made Mary grow up a goodly growing, and placed her into the custody of Zachariah. Whenever Zachariah entered the sanctuary to (see) her, he found with her (fresh) food12. He asked: "O Mary, from where have you got this?" She said: "It is from Allāh." Indeed Allāh gives to whom He wills without limit.
12. Wholesome fruits which did not belong to that season.
39. Then the angels called Zachariah while he standing praying in the sanctuary: "That Allāh gives you the good news of Yahya (John) confirming the Word from Allāh13. He will be honorable, chaste and a Prophet from among the righteous."
13. The ‘Word of Allāh ’ is Jesus who was conceived by Mary through Allah’s Word and command.
40. He14 said: "Lord 'Allāh', how can I have a son when old age has already come upon me, and my wife is barren?" (The angel) said: "Thus Allāh does what He wills."
14. Zachariah did not address the angel or ask him for anything but rather, being fully cognizant that Allāh is ever near and answering of Prayers, directed his Prayers to Allāh and not the intermediary.
41. Zachariah said, "Lord 'Allāh', show me a Sign (that it is Divine revelation). He said: "Your Sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days except by gestures." Praise (Allāh) your Lord much and glorify Him in the evening and the morning.
42. "Mention" when the angels said: "O Mary, Allāh has chosen you, purified you (from all unrighteousness), and chosen you above the women of the world."
44. This is of the news relating to the unseen that We reveal to you 'Muhammad'. You were not among those who cast out their pens (to decide) which of them would take custody of Mary, nor were you among those who disputed.
45. When the angels said: "Mary, indeed, Allāh gives you good news of a Word from Him15 (of one) whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and the Hereafter, and of those who are drawn near to Allāh.
15. Jesus was not conceived by any human act of procreation but rather, like Adam, through Allah’s commanding Word: Be! Thus he is called “the Word of Allāh ”.
47. She said: "Lord 'Allāh', how shall I have a son, when no man has ever touched me?" (The angel) said: "Such is Allāh; He creates whatever He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.
49. (And will send him as) a messenger to the children of Israel, (saying to them): That I have come to you with a Sign from 'Allāh' your Lord, that I determine for you out of dust like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird with Allah’s Permission and I heal the blind and the leper, and bring the dead to life with Allah’s Permission and I inform you of what you eat and what you store up in your homes. There is certainly in this a Sign for you, if you are believers.
50. And (I have come) confirming that which was before me of the Torah and to make lawful to you some of that which was forbidden to you16, and I have come to you with a Sign from 'Allāh' your Lord, so fear Allāh and obey me.
16. Such as working on the Sabbath day, the ban which is now lifted, the fat of oxen and sheep, eating fish and birds which had no spikes, etc.
52. When Jesus sensed (persistence in) denial on their part (the Jews), he said: "Who will be my helpers in Allah’s Way?" The disciples said: "We are helpers (in the Cause) of Allāh, we believe in Allāh and bear witness that we are Muslims.
55. "Mention" when Allāh said: "Jesus, I will take you and raise you up unto Me, and deliver you from those (Jews) who denied you (and decided to crucify you), and make those who follow you (in Islam) above17 those who deny (you) until the Day of Resurrection; then to Me shall be your (final) return, so I will Judge between you about that in which you differed.
17. In both spiritual supremacy and temporal leadership.
56. Then as for those who deny (the Truth), I will chastise them with severe Chastisement in this world and in the Hereafter and no one will help them.
61. Whoever disputes with you regarding him (Jesus) after what has come to you of knowledge18, then say: "Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and ourselves and yourselves, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the Curse of Allāh (to be) upon the liars.'
18. I.e., Jesus being a servant of God and a messenger, and having no share in Divinity.
62. Certainly, this is the true story 'about Jesus'. There is no god (worthy of worship) except Allāh; and certainly Allāh - He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
64.Say: "O followers of the (past) Scripture. Come to a common term between us and you: That we worship none but Allāh, associate no partners with Him, and not take any one else as a lord besides Allāh. But if they turn away, then say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims."
65. O followers of the (past) Scripture, why do you dispute about Abraham, when the Torah and the Evangel were not revealed till after him - do you not then understand?
66. Here you are - those who have disputed about that of which you had some knowledge; why then do you dispute about that of which you have no knowledge (regarding Abraham’s true Faith)? It is Allāh who knows, and you know not.
68. The most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him (in submission to God) and this Prophet (i.e., Muhammad), and those who believe (the Muslims). For Allāh is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the followers of the (past) Scripture desire that they would lead you astray, and they lead not astray except themselves, but they do not perceive it.
72. A faction of the followers of the (past) Scripture (the Jews) say: "Believe in that which has been revealed to the believers in the first part of the day, and then deny it at the end of it, perhaps they will go back 'on their religion'."
73. Do not trust except in him who follows your religion (and way of life). Say 'Muhammad': "The only (right) guidance is the Guidance of Allāh. They say: "Do not reveal of what you are given (of Knowledge to them) so you will be all equal in it, or that they would contend with you before 'Allāh' your Lord". Say: "(All) Bounty is in the Hand of Allāh, He gives it to whom He wills. For Allāh is Ample-Giving, All-Knowing.
74. He singles out for His Mercy (the Prophethood and His message) whom He wills . Allāh is the Possessor of great bounty20.
20. Allāh rains down grace on all mankind. One of the greatest and noblest blessings that Allāh has bestowed upon us is sending the Prophet Muhammad to us and sending down His Book the Qur’an to us, and showing us the straight path. Allāh also gave us the beauty and wonders of nature that we see each and every day. He often brings us the right thing just in time. He also gave us an innate conscience to know right from wrong.
75. Among the followers of the (past) Scripture (Jews and Christians) is he who if you entrust him with a heap of wealth, he will pay it back to you; and among them is he who if you entrust him with a single silver coin, he will not pay it back to you, unless you remain firmly standing over him (demanding it). This is because they say: "There is not upon us in the matter of the unlearned any way (to reproach); and they knowingly ascribe false statements to Allāh."
77. Those who exchange the covenant of Allāh and their own oaths for a trifling gain, will have no share in the Hereafter. Allāh will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them - theirs is a painful torment.
78. A party of them (the Jews) twist their tongues with the Scripture (as they read), that you may consider it to be (a part) of the Scripture, and they say, "this is from Allāh," while it is not from Allāh. They knowingly ascribe false statements to Allāh.
79. It is not (possible) for any human being to whom Allāh has given the Scripture, (sound) Judgment, and Prophethood, to say to the people: "Be my worshippers instead of Allah’s;" but rather (he would say): "Be worshippers of (Allāh) the (True) Lord, because of your teaching the Scripture, and your reading (of it)."
80. Nor would he order you that you take the angels21 and the prophets22 for lords (to worship); would he enjoin you with blasphemy (and polytheism) after you are Muslims 'who submit to the Will of God'?
21. Such as the holy spirit.
22. Such as jesus christ.
81. (O people of the Scripture, recall), when Allāh made a Covenant through the Prophets23, saying: "After I have given you the Scripture and Wisdom - then a messenger 'Muhammad' comes to you confirming that which is with you, you must believe in him, and you must help him." 'Allāh' said: "Do you affirm and accept My Covenant in this (matter)?" They said: "We do affirm." He said: "Then bear witness, and I (too) am of the witness with you."
23. It is possible that this oath was taken at the time the offspring of Adam were taken out of his back as breaths or taken from each Prophet at the time of his mission”.
83. Is it then other than God's true religion (of Islam) that they seek (to follow), and to Him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be (all) returned.
84. Say: "We believe in Allāh and what has been revealed to us (of the Qur’an), and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and (the Prophets from his) descendants, and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other Prophets from their Lord (Allāh); we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him 'Allāh alone' do we submit."
85. Whoever follows a religion (and way of life) other than Islam24, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers25.
24. Submission to the Will of God, inner peace and righteously living.
25. Muhammad, God's Messenger said: "By Him (Allâh) in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and the Christians (of these present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism), but he will be from the dwellers of the Hellfire."
86. How will Allāh guide a people who disbelieved after their believing and (after) they had borne witness that the messenger 'Muhammad' is true and clear Proofs had come to them? For Allāh does not guide the (defiant) wrongdoing people.
90. Those who deny (the Truth) after their belief, then increase in denial, their repentance will not be accepted (nor will they be guided to repent) - these are the ones astray.
91. Those who deny (the Truth) and die while they are deniers, never would the earth full of gold be accepted from anyone of them if they were to (seek) ransom for themselves with it26; theirs will be a painful torment, and no one will help them.
26. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "An idolater will be asked: ‘Suppose you had as much gold as to fill the earth, would you offer it to ransom yourself (from the Hell-Fire)?’ He will reply, ‘Yes.’ Then it will be said to him, ‘You were asked for something less than that (to join none in worship) with Allāh, but you refused.
92. Never shall you attain the highest state of virtue27 unless you spend part of what you dearly love (in charity). Whatever you spend, Allāh certainly knows it.
93. All (the pure) food was lawful to the children of Israel except that28 which Israel (Jacob) had forbidden for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say: "Bring then the Torah and read it, if you are truthful."
28. Camel's meat and its milk. When he was afflicted with sciatica, as he made a vow to Allāh that if he were cured he would not eat the camel meat and drink the camel milk again which he loved much.
97. In it are clear Signs, (such as) the standing spot of Abraham. Whoever enters its sanctuary and seeks refuge therein shall be secure. Pilgrimage to the House (the Ka’bah at Makkah) is incumbent upon mankind (for the Sake of Allāh), (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to it. Whoever denies (the obligation of Hajj), Allāh is certainly not in need of (any of His) creation.
98. Say: "O followers of the (past) Scripture (i.e., Jews and Christians), why do you deny Allah’s revelations? For Allāh is a Witness to all that you do."
99.Say: "O followers of the (past) Scripture, why do you hinder him who believes from the Path of Allāh 'Islam'? You seek (to make) it seem crooked, while you witness (that it is straight)29? Allāh is not unaware of what you do.
29. They are chastised for devising schemes to deviate people from the Straight Path of Islam while being fully aware and secretly bearing witness to its Truth.
100. O believers, if you obey a certain group among those (Jews and Christians) who have been given the Scripture, they will turn you back after your faith into deniers.
101. How can you deny (the Truth) while Allah’s revelations are being recited to you, and among you is His messenger 'Muhammad'. Whoever holds fast to Allāh30, he indeed is guided to a right Path.
30. By holding tight to the surest of ties i.e. Islam.
102. O believers, fear Allāh as He should be feared31; and do not die unless you are Muslims32.
31. By doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has prohibited. He is to be obeyed and not disobeyed, to be remembered always and not to be forgotten, to give Him thanks and not to be ingrate and denier. If we make real commitments to follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah in a truthful, just and righteous way, then Allāh will bless us in this world and the Hereafter.
32. I.e., submitting to the Will of God.
103. Hold fast to the Rope of Allāh all together (to Islam, the True Religion of God) and be not disunited. Recall the Favor of Allāh upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so by His grace you became brothers; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire33, then He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His revelations, that you may be guided.
33. I.e., tribal and party strife and the violence of one another.
104. Let there be among you a party who invite others to do good deeds, command them to obey the law, and prohibit them from committing sins. These will be the successful and prosperous.
105. Be not like those 'Jews and Christians' who became divided and differed into sects after clear Proofs had come to them. These will have an awful torment.
106. On the Day when (some) faces are illuminated and others are darkened. As for those whose faces become dark: "Did you deny after your faith?" Taste then the torment for what you used to deny.
110. You (devout Muslims) are the best of nations raised up (as an example) for mankind. You command people to what is right (and just) and prohibit them from what is wrong (and unjust) and you believe in (the Oneness of) Allāh. Had the people of the Scripture 'the Jews and Christians' accepted the (Islamic) faith, it would have been better for them. Some of them have faith (in Allāh and embraced Islam), but most of them are rebellious (against God).
111. They will not harm you except with (what annoys you of words of polytheism and disbelief) some annoyance. If they fight with you, they will turn (their) backs to you, then they will not be helped.
112. Humiliation is put over them wherever they may be except when under a Covenant (of Protection) from Allāh or a covenant (of protection) from people34. They have incurred the Wrath of Allāh and degradation is stamped on them. This is for their denial of Allah’s revelations and killing the Prophets unjustly; this is for their rebelling and aggression.
34. Once they have submitted, the People of the Scripture retain their rights and honor (in spite of their refusal of Islām) through payment of the jizyah tax in place of Zakāh and military service due from Muslims. They are then under the protection of the Islāmic state.
113. They are not all alike. Of the followers of the (past) Scripture (the Jews and Christians) there is an upright people (who embraced Islam), they recite Allah’s Verses 'this Qur’an' during the night and they prostrate (to Him in prayer).
114. They believe in Allāh and the Last Day, command people to follow what is right (and just) and prohibit them from what is wrong (and unjust) and race with each other in doing good deeds35. These are the righteous ones.
35. Those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize. Run in such a way that you may obtain it through constant good works, discipline and avoiding distractions. Everyone who competes for the prize is moderate and self-restraint in all things. Now they do it for worldly gain, but we do race for the Hereafter life.
116. Those who deny '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.
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.
118. O believers, do not take for intimates36 those other than your own people37; for they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they like to mislead you and see you in hardship. 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.
36. As sincere friends, revealing to them your secret thoughts.
37. I.e., the Jews, Christians, and the hypocrites.
119. Here you are, you love them38 but they do not love you39, while you believe in all the (Divine) Books40. When they meet you, they say: "We believe," and when they are alone, they bite the their fingertips in rage. Say: "Die in your rage". Allāh knows well what is in the chests.
38. On account of their pretence of friendship towards you.
39. Since they oppose you in religion.
40. Such as the Torah and the Gospel, while they disbelieve in the Qur’an, God's Last Message and Testament.
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.
121. (Muhammad) recall when you set off from your household at morning to lodge the believers in encampments for the battle (of Uhud). For Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
122. When two parties from among you41 almost lost courage (but Allāh made them steadfast), as Allāh was their Guardian. In Allāh (alone) should the believers rely.
123. Allāh had Already given you victory at (the battle of) Badr while you were weak (and few in number). So be mindful of Allāh - that you may be thankful.
124. (Also remember) when you said to the believers: "Is it not enough that 'Allāh' your Lord is aasisting you with three thousand of the angels sent (from the heavens)?"
125. Certainly, If you have patience and piety, and the enemy come upon you attacking in rage, your Lord 'Allāh' will assist you with five thousand of the havoc-wreaking angels.
126. Allāh made it not except as good news for you, and that your hearts might be at ease thereby. (The real) victory is only from Allāh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
129. To Allāh belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. He forgives whom He wills, and chastises whom He wills. Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
130. O believers, do not devour interest (usury)42, making it double and multiplied. Fear Allah and shun evil - that you may
succeed and prosper.
42. Mohammad, God's messenger said, "Avoid the seven deadly sins." The people enquired, "O God's Messenger, what are they?" He said, "(1) To join others in worship along with Allāh, (2) to practise sorcery, (3) to kill a person which Allāh has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law), (4) to consume Ribâ (usury), (5) to consume an orphan’s wealth, (6) to show one’s back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting for the Cause of God, (7) and to accuse chaste women (or men) of adultery, who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are true believers".
132. Obey Allāh43 and 'His' messenger44 that you may receive 'Allah’s' Mercy.
43. I.e , hearing the word of Allāh and acting on it. It implies aligning our will to Allah's will; doing what Allāh has asked us to do. It is when we completely surrender to His authority and base our decisions and our actions on His Word.
44. I.e. to have faith and confidence in him and to follow and do what he commands us to do and abstain from what he prohibited us.
134. Those who spend (part of what Allāh has given them) in times of prosperity as well as in times of hardship45, who restrain 'their' anger and pardon the people46; for Allāh loves the good-doers.
45. Mohammad, God's messenger said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being". If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding means by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all this will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity."
46. God's Messenger said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger."
135. Those who when they commit an indecency or do injustice to themselves (by transgression or lesser sins, etc.), remember Allāh and ask forgiveness for their sins - and who forgives the sins except Allāh47? And (who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done (of sins).
47. Who is a like you O Allah, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. Allah’s primary characteristic is His forgiving love and mercy, shown by His patient. Allāh is unique and distinct from the so-called gods of the pagan nations. Allāh showed his love to us that He sent us his last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, that we might follow the right Path and live honorably in this world and the Hereafter.
136. (As for) these - their reward is forgiveness from their Lord 'Allāh', and g
Gardens under which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. Excellent is the reward of those who work (righteousness).
139. So do not weaken, nor grieve48, and you 'Muslims'; will be superior if you are believers.
48. Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to Allāh; and the peace of Allāh that surpasses all circumstances will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of following God's last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad.
140. If a wound has touched you (at the battle of Uhud), a similar wound has also touched the (disbelieving) people (at the battle of Badr). We alternate these days (good and hard times) among the people, so that Allāh may make evident those who believe and take martyrs from among you. Allah does not like the workers of iniquity.
142. Do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allāh has not yet made evident those who strive hard from among you (in His Cause), and made evident those who are patient?
143. You had certainly wished for death (i.e., martyrdom) before you actually faced it, then you faced it (in the battlefield) while you were looking (at it).
144. Muhammad is no more than a messenger (of God); indeed (many) messengers have already passed on before him. If then he dies or is killed, will you turn back upon your heels? Whoever turns back upon his heels, he will not do harm to Allāh in the least. Allāh will reward the thankful.
145. No soul can ever die except with the Permission of Allāh, the term is fixed. Whoever wants the reward of this world, We shall give him of it, and whoever wants the reward of the Hereafter We shall give him of it. We shall reward the thankful.
146. How many a Prophet fought (in the Way of Allāh) and along with him (fought) many worshippers of (Allāh) the Lord. They did not lose courage for what befell them in Allah’s Way, neither did they weaken, nor surrender. For Allāh loves the patient.
147. Their words were not but that they said: "Our Lord 'Allāh', forgive us our sins and our transgressions in our affair and plant firmly our feet (in the battlefield), and give us victory over the denying people.
149. O believers, if you obey those who deny (the Truth) they will turn you back upon your heels, and you will become losers49.
49. Mohammad, God's Messenger said: "Anybody (from among the Muslims) who meets, gathers together, lives, and stays (permanently) with a pagan or unbeliever and agrees to his ways, opinions, etc. and (enjoys) his living with him then he is like him."
151. We shall cast panic into the hearts of the deniers for associating with Allāh that for which He has sent down no Authority; and their abode is the Fire (of Hell). How terrible is the abode of the evildoers.
152. Allāh certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you put your enemies to death by His Permission, until (the time) when you lost courage and disputed about the order (given by the Prophet) and disobeyed after God had shown you that which you love (victory within your reach); of you were some who desired this world, and of you were some who desired the Hereafter; then He turned you away from them that He might try you; and indeed He has pardoned you - Allāh is Gracious to the believers.
153. When you were fleeing without even casting a side glance at anyone, while the Messenger was calling you from your rear, so Allāh rewarded your disobedience to suffer distress upon distress to make you forget your grief for what you missed (of booty) or befell you (of injury and death), for Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.
154. Then after the distress, He sent down (relief in the form of) drowsiness upon you, a calmness coming upon a party of you, and (there was) another party whom cared mainly for themselves; they entertained about Allāh thoughts of ignorance, other than the truth, saying: "Do we have any say in the matter?". Say: "All matters are 'in the Hands' of Allāh." They conceal within themselves what they would not reveal to you. They say: "Had we any hand in the matter, we would not have been killed here." Say: "Even if you had stayed in your houses, those for whom death was ordained would certainly have gone forth to their killing places. But Allāh did so that He may test you and purge what is in your hearts. For Allāh knows what is in the chests (of mankind and jinn).
155. Those of you who turned back on the day when the two armies met (at Uhud), only Satan caused them to slip due to some (sins) they had done, but Allāh has pardoned them; for Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
156. O believers, be not like the deniers, who said of their brothers when they travelled through the land (for trade, etc.) or took part in fighting: "Had they been with us, they would not have died or have been killed." So Allāh will make this an intense regret in their hearts. It is Allāh who gives life and causes death. Allāh is All-Seeing of what you do.
159. Thus it is due to Mercy from Allāh that you deal with them gently. Had you been harsh, hard-hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and take counsel with them in important matters; so once you have taken a decision, place your (complete) trust in Allāh. Indeed, Allāh loves those who are reliant on Him.
160. If Allāh helps you 'believers', there is none that can overcome you. However, if He forsakes you, who is there then that can help you after Him? On Allāh 'alone' should the believers rely.
161. No Prophet ever misappropriates50; and whoever misappropriates 'something' shall come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection51. Then every soul shall be requited fully what it has earned (of good or bad), and they will not be dealt with unjustly.
50. Whether war booty, public or private funds; and that is to stealthily, illegally seize possession of something; in this instance, spoils of war in particular.
51. Prophet Muhammad said: “By Allāh none of you misappropriates part of it ˹collected mandatory alms˺ without him meeting Allāh on the Day of Judgement carrying it. And I shall know everyone of you who meets Allāh carrying a camel grunting, a cow lowing or a goat bleating...”
164. Allāh conferred a great Favor upon the believers when He raised among them a messenger 'Muhammad' from among themselves, reciting to them His verses, purifying them, and teaching them the Book (Qur’an) and Wisdom. Before this they were certainly in manifest error52.
52. Know that our first obligation is knowing that there is no true deity except Allāh. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. He is the singlemost without any second. He is the Creator of the heavens and earth and whatever is in them and between them and He is the Subtle, the Aware, and has power over all things. Then the second most important thing is to belief in the Prophet Muhammad and acknowledgment that Allāh sent him to all of humanity as a bearer of glad tidings, a warner, a caller (of people) to God by His permission and an illuminating torch of light.
165. Why (is it that) when a (single) calamity befell you (at Uhud), and you had certainly afflicted (the deniers) with twice as much (at Badr), you began to say: "From where is this (misfortune)?" Say: "It is from yourselves." Indeed, Allāh has full Power over all things.
167. And make evident those who are hypocrites. When it was said to them: "Come, fight in Allah’s Way, or (at least) defend yourselves." They said: "If we knew (there would be) fighting we would certainly have followed you." They were on that day much nearer to faithlessness than to Faith. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts - Allāh knows best what they conceal.
168. Those who said of their brethren whilst they (themselves) held back (from fighting): "Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Say: "Avert death from yourselves if you speak the truth."
169. Do not think that those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead. Rather, they are alive (and) are provided good provision from their Lord 'Allāh'53;
53. Allāh states that even though the martyrs were killed in this life, their souls are alive and receiving provisions in the Dwelling of Everlasting Life. The companions of the Prophet asked him about this Verse, "Do not think that those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead. Rather, they are alive (and) are provided good provision from their Lord 'Allāh'." and he said, "Their souls are inside green birds that have lamps, which are hanging below the Throne 'of Allāh', and they wander about in Paradise wherever they wish. Then they return to those lamps. Allāh looks at them and says, `Do you wish for anything' They say, `What more could we wish for, while we go wherever we wish in Paradise' Allāh asked them this question thrice, and when they realize that He will keep asking them until they give an answer, they say, `O Lord, we wish that our souls be returned to our bodies so that we are killed in Your cause again.' Allāh knew that they did not have any other wish, so they were left."' The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also said, “No one who enters Paradise would like to return to the world, even if he could have everything on earth, except for the martyr. He will wish to return to the world and be killed ten more times due to the generous reward he sees.”
170. Rejoicing in what Allāh has given them out of His bounty, and they rejoice for the sake of those 'to be martyred' after them, who have not yet joined them - that they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
172. Those who responded to the call of Allāh and the Messenger after being wounded (at Uhud), those among them who did good and guarded themselves (against evil) shall have a great reward.
173.Those (believers) to whom the people (hypocrites) said: "Men have gathered against you, so fear them," but it only increased them in faith, and they said: "Allāh is Enough for us and (He is) the best Trustee54."
54. In Allāh alone is found hope, safety, and peace. We do not have to be afraid of our enemies. When life gets hard, we can pray to Allāh to find real help and strength.
174. So they returned with Favor from Allāh and 'His' bounty, no evil touched them, and they followed the Pleasure of Allāh - for Allāh is the possessor of Great Bounty.
176. Let not those grieve you who hasten into faithlessness; they can do no harm to Allāh at all. Allāh intends that He will not give them any share in the Hereafter. They will have a grievous torment.
178. Let not those who deny (God and His messenger Muhammad) think that Our granting them respite is better for themselves, We grant them respite only that they may increase in sin; and they will have a disgraceful torment.
179. Allāh would not leave the believers in the condition which you are in (presently) until He separates the bad from the good; nor is Allāh going to make you acquainted with the unseen, but Allāh chooses of His messengers whom He wills. So believe in Allāh and His messengers. If you believe and are obedient and righteous, you shall have a great reward.
180. But let not those who (greedily) withhold what Allāh has granted them out of His bounty ever think that it is good for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by a collar of what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. To Allāh belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth - Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.
181. Allāh has certainly heard the saying of those (unbelieving Jews) who said: "Allāh is poor and we are rich." Their words are recorded and so is their unjust killings of the Prophets, and We shall say (to them on the Day of Judgment): "Taste the torment of the burning Fire."
183. (Those are they) who said: "Allāh has enjoined us that we should not believe in any messenger until he brings us an offering which fire (from the sky) shall devour." Say: "Indeed, there came to you messengers before me with clear Signs and with that which you demand; so why then did you slay them, if you are truthful?"
184. But if they reject you (Muhammad), so indeed were rejected before you (many) messengers who came with clear Proofs, written Ordinances and the enlightening Scripture.
185. Every soul shall taste death. You shall only be paid fully your reward on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is drawn away from the eternal Fire and is made to enter Paradise, he indeed has attained success. For the life of this world is nothing but a deceiving enjoyment.
186. You shall certainly be tried in your possessions and in your selves, and you will hear from those who have been given the Scripture before you, and from the pagans, much annoying talk. If you have patience and piety, this is of the affairs (which should be) determined upon.
187. When Allāh made a Covenant with those who were given the Scripture: "You shall certainly make it (the coming of the Prophet Muhammad) known to the people, and you shall not hide it;" but they cast it behind their backs and took a trifling gain for it - so evil is that which they bought.
188. Do not think that those who delight in what they brought about (of misleading deeds), and like to be praised for what they have not done (of righteousness) - do not think that they are safe from the torment, and for them is a painful torment.
190. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, there are Signs for those who possess intellects.
191. Those who glorify Allāh with praise, standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying): "Our Lord, You have not created (all) this in vain. Glory be to You. Save us from the torment of the Fire.
192. Our Lord 'Allāh', whomever You make enter the eternal Fire, indeed You have disgraced him, and there shall be no helpers for the workers of iniquity.
193. Our Lord, we have heard a caller 'Muhammad' calling to the Faith, saying: "Believe in your Lord 'Allāh', so we have believed." Our Lord, forgive us our sins, cover our bad deeds, and make us die in the state of righteousness along with those who are obedient (to You).
194. Our Lord, grant us what You have promised us by Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break 'Your' Promise.
195. Their Lord 'Allāh' answered their prayer: "That I will never waste the deeds of any doer among you, whether male or female, you are of one another56. Those who emigrated and were expelled from their homes and were persecuted for My sake, and fought and were killed - I will certainly expiate their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow; a reward from Allāh, and with Allāh is the best of rewards."
56. Both men and women are born of each other and are looked upon equally.
198. But for those who fear 'Allāh' their Lord and keep to His Commandments, they shall have Gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever - a hospitable Welcome from Allāh. That which is with Allāh is best for the virtuous.
199. There are among the followers of the (past) Scripture those who believe in Allāh and what is revealed to you (of the Qur’an) and what was revealed to them, being humble before Allāh; they do not trade Allah's Verses for a trifling gain.These will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allāh is Quick in Reckoning.
200. O believers, be patient, excel in patience57, guard your territories, fear Allāh 'and shun evil' - that you may succeed and prosper.
57. The Qur’an teaches us to be patient in our interactions with others. We are encouraged to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience when dealing with others. We are reminded to be patient with those who may be difficult or challenging to love.
