أَلَمْ Have not تَرَ you seen إِلَى [towards] ٱلَّذِينَ those who قِيلَ (when) it was said لَهُمْ to them كُفُّوٓا۟ Restrain أَيْدِيَكُمْ your hands وَأَقِيمُوا۟ and establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer وَءَاتُوا۟ and give ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ the zakah فَلَمَّا Then when كُتِبَ was ordained عَلَيْهِمُ on them ٱلْقِتَالُ the fighting إِذَا then فَرِيقٌۭ a group مِّنْهُمْ of them يَخْشَوْنَ [they] fear ٱلنَّاسَ the people كَخَشْيَةِ as (they) fear ٱللَّهِ Allah أَوْ or أَشَدَّ more intense خَشْيَةًۭ ۚ fear وَقَالُوا۟ and they said رَبَّنَا Our Lord لِمَ why كَتَبْتَ have You ordained عَلَيْنَا upon us ٱلْقِتَالَ [the] fighting لَوْلَآ Why not أَخَّرْتَنَآ You postpone (it for) us إِلَىٰٓ to أَجَلٍۢ a term قَرِيبٍۢ ۗ near قُلْ Say مَتَـٰعُ Enjoyment ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world قَلِيلٌۭ (is) little وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ and the Hereafter خَيْرٌۭ (is) better لِّمَنِ for whoever ٱتَّقَىٰ fears (Allah) وَلَا and not تُظْلَمُونَ you will be wronged فَتِيلًا (even as much as) a hair on a date-seed ٧٧

أَيْنَمَا Wherever تَكُونُوا۟ you be يُدْرِككُّمُ will overtake you ٱلْمَوْتُ [the] death وَلَوْ even if كُنتُمْ you are فِى in بُرُوجٍۢ towers مُّشَيَّدَةٍۢ ۗ lofty وَإِن And if تُصِبْهُمْ befalls them حَسَنَةٌۭ any good يَقُولُوا۟ they say هَـٰذِهِۦ This مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah وَإِن And if تُصِبْهُمْ befalls them سَيِّئَةٌۭ any evil يَقُولُوا۟ they say هَـٰذِهِۦ This مِنْ (is) عِندِكَ ۚ (from) you قُلْ Say كُلٌّۭ All مِّنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah فَمَالِ So what (is wrong) هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ (with) these ٱلْقَوْمِ [the] people لَا not يَكَادُونَ do they seem يَفْقَهُونَ (to) understand حَدِيثًۭا any statement ٧٨

مَّآ What(ever) أَصَابَكَ befalls you مِنْ of حَسَنَةٍۢ (the) good فَمِنَ (is) from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah وَمَآ and whatever أَصَابَكَ befalls you مِن of سَيِّئَةٍۢ (the) evil فَمِن (is) from نَّفْسِكَ ۚ yourself وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ And We have sent you لِلنَّاسِ for the people رَسُولًۭا ۚ (as) a Messenger وَكَفَىٰ and is sufficient بِٱللَّهِ Allah شَهِيدًۭا (as) a Witness ٧٩

مَّن (He) who يُطِعِ obeys ٱلرَّسُولَ the Messenger فَقَدْ then surely أَطَاعَ he obeyed ٱللَّهَ ۖ Allah وَمَن and whoever تَوَلَّىٰ turns away فَمَآ then not أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ We (have) sent you عَلَيْهِمْ over them حَفِيظًۭا (as) a guardian ٨٠

وَيَقُولُونَ And they say طَاعَةٌۭ (We pledge) obedience فَإِذَا Then when بَرَزُوا۟ they leave مِنْ from عِندِكَ you بَيَّتَ plan by night طَآئِفَةٌۭ a group مِّنْهُمْ of them غَيْرَ other than ٱلَّذِى that which تَقُولُ ۖ you say وَٱللَّهُ But Allah يَكْتُبُ records مَا what يُبَيِّتُونَ ۖ they plan by night فَأَعْرِضْ So turn (away) عَنْهُمْ from them وَتَوَكَّلْ and put (your) trust عَلَى in ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah وَكَفَىٰ And sufficient بِٱللَّهِ is Allah وَكِيلًا (as) a Trustee ٨١

أَفَلَا Then (do) not يَتَدَبَّرُونَ they ponder ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۚ (on) the Quran وَلَوْ And if كَانَ it had (been) مِنْ (of) عِندِ from غَيْرِ other than ٱللَّهِ Allah لَوَجَدُوا۟ surely they (would have) found فِيهِ in it ٱخْتِلَـٰفًۭا contradiction كَثِيرًۭا much ٨٢

وَإِذَا And when جَآءَهُمْ comes to them أَمْرٌۭ a matter مِّنَ of ٱلْأَمْنِ the security أَوِ or ٱلْخَوْفِ [the] fear أَذَاعُوا۟ they spread بِهِۦ ۖ [with] it وَلَوْ But if رَدُّوهُ they (had) referred it إِلَى to ٱلرَّسُولِ the Messenger وَإِلَىٰٓ and to أُو۟لِى those ٱلْأَمْرِ (having) authority مِنْهُمْ among them لَعَلِمَهُ surely would have known it ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَسْتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ draw correct conclusion (from) it مِنْهُمْ ۗ among them وَلَوْلَا And if not فَضْلُ (had been the) bounty ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْكُمْ on you وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ and His Mercy لَٱتَّبَعْتُمُ surely you (would have) followed ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ the Shaitaan إِلَّا except قَلِيلًۭا a few ٨٣

فَقَـٰتِلْ So fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah لَا not تُكَلَّفُ are you responsible إِلَّا except نَفْسَكَ ۚ (for) yourself وَحَرِّضِ And encourage ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ the believers عَسَى perhaps ٱللَّهُ Allah أَن will يَكُفَّ restrain بَأْسَ (the) might ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ disbelieved وَٱللَّهُ And Allah أَشَدُّ (is) Stronger بَأْسًۭا (in) Might وَأَشَدُّ and Stronger تَنكِيلًۭا (in) punishment ٨٤

ٱللَّهُ Allah لَآ (there is) no إِلَـٰهَ god إِلَّا except هُوَ ۚ Him لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ surely He will gather you إِلَىٰ to يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) Resurrection لَا no رَيْبَ doubt فِيهِ ۗ about it وَمَنْ And who أَصْدَقُ (is) more truthful مِنَ than ٱللَّهِ Allah حَدِيثًۭا (in) statement ٨٧

۞ فَمَا So what لَكُمْ (is the matter) with you فِى concerning ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ the hypocrites (that) فِئَتَيْنِ (you have become) two parties وَٱللَّهُ While Allah أَرْكَسَهُم cast them back بِمَا for what كَسَبُوٓا۟ ۚ they earned أَتُرِيدُونَ Do you wish أَن that تَهْدُوا۟ you guide مَنْ whom أَضَلَّ is let astray ٱللَّهُ ۖ (by) Allah وَمَن And whoever يُضْلِلِ is let astray ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah فَلَن then never تَجِدَ will you find لَهُۥ for him سَبِيلًۭا a way ٨٨
