60:1

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe لَا (Do) not تَتَّخِذُوا۟ take عَدُوِّى My enemies وَعَدُوَّكُمْ and your enemies أَوْلِيَآءَ (as) allies تُلْقُونَ offering إِلَيْهِم them بِٱلْمَوَدَّةِ love وَقَدْ while كَفَرُوا۟ they have disbelieved بِمَا in what جَآءَكُم came to you مِّنَ of ٱلْحَقِّ the truth يُخْرِجُونَ driving out ٱلرَّسُولَ the Messenger وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۙ and yourselves أَن because تُؤْمِنُوا۟ you believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah رَبِّكُمْ your Lord إِن If كُنتُمْ you خَرَجْتُمْ come forth جِهَـٰدًۭا (to) strive فِى in سَبِيلِى My way وَٱبْتِغَآءَ and (to) seek مَرْضَاتِى ۚ My Pleasure تُسِرُّونَ You confide إِلَيْهِم to them بِٱلْمَوَدَّةِ love وَأَنَا۠ but I Am أَعْلَمُ most knowing بِمَآ of what أَخْفَيْتُمْ you conceal وَمَآ and what أَعْلَنتُمْ ۚ you declare وَمَن And whoever يَفْعَلْهُ does it مِنكُمْ among you فَقَدْ then certainly ضَلَّ he has strayed سَوَآءَ (from the) straight ٱلسَّبِيلِ path ١

O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allāh, your Lord. If you have come out for jihād [i.e., fighting or striving] in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection [i.e., instruction], but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.

60:2

إِن If يَثْقَفُوكُمْ they gain dominance over you يَكُونُوا۟ they would be لَكُمْ to you أَعْدَآءًۭ enemies وَيَبْسُطُوٓا۟ and extend إِلَيْكُمْ against you أَيْدِيَهُمْ their hands وَأَلْسِنَتَهُم and their tongues بِٱلسُّوٓءِ with evil وَوَدُّوا۟ and they desire لَوْ that تَكْفُرُونَ you would disbelieve ٢

If they gain dominance over you, they would be [i.e., behave] to you as enemies and extend against you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they wish you would disbelieve.

60:3

لَن Never تَنفَعَكُمْ will benefit you أَرْحَامُكُمْ your relatives وَلَآ and not أَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ ۚ your children يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection يَفْصِلُ He will judge بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ between you وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do بَصِيرٌۭ (is) All-Seer ٣

Never will your relatives or your children benefit you; the Day of Resurrection He will judge between you. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.

60:4

قَدْ Indeed كَانَتْ (there) is لَكُمْ for you أُسْوَةٌ an example حَسَنَةٌۭ good فِىٓ in إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim وَٱلَّذِينَ and those مَعَهُۥٓ with him إِذْ when قَالُوا۟ they said لِقَوْمِهِمْ to their people إِنَّا Indeed, we بُرَءَٰٓؤُا۟ (are) disassociated مِنكُمْ from you وَمِمَّا and from what تَعْبُدُونَ you worship مِن from دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah كَفَرْنَا We have denied بِكُمْ you وَبَدَا and has appeared بَيْنَنَا between us وَبَيْنَكُمُ and between you ٱلْعَدَٰوَةُ enmity وَٱلْبَغْضَآءُ and hatred أَبَدًا forever حَتَّىٰ until تُؤْمِنُوا۟ you believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَحْدَهُۥٓ Alone إِلَّا Except قَوْلَ (the) saying إِبْرَٰهِيمَ (of) Ibrahim لِأَبِيهِ to his father لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ Surely I ask forgiveness لَكَ for you وَمَآ but not أَمْلِكُ I have power لَكَ for you مِنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah مِن of شَىْءٍۢ ۖ anything رَّبَّنَا Our Lord عَلَيْكَ upon You تَوَكَّلْنَا we put our trust وَإِلَيْكَ and to You أَنَبْنَا we turn وَإِلَيْكَ and to You ٱلْمَصِيرُ (is) the final return ٤

There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, "Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allāh. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allāh alone" - except for the saying of Abraham to his father, "I will surely ask forgiveness for you, but I have not [power to do] for you anything against Allāh. Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the destination.

رَبَّنَا Our Lord لَا (do) not تَجْعَلْنَا make us فِتْنَةًۭ a trial لِّلَّذِينَ for those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve وَٱغْفِرْ and forgive لَنَا us رَبَّنَآ ۖ our Lord إِنَّكَ Indeed You أَنتَ [You] ٱلْعَزِيزُ (are) the All-Mighty ٱلْحَكِيمُ the All-Wise ٥

Our Lord, make us not [objects of] torment for the disbelievers and forgive us, our Lord. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

60:6

لَقَدْ Certainly كَانَ (there) is لَكُمْ for you فِيهِمْ in them أُسْوَةٌ an example حَسَنَةٌۭ good لِّمَن for (he) who كَانَ is يَرْجُوا۟ hopeful ٱللَّهَ (in) Allah وَٱلْيَوْمَ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ ۚ the Last وَمَن And whoever يَتَوَلَّ turns away فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah هُوَ He ٱلْغَنِىُّ (is) Free of need ٱلْحَمِيدُ the Praiseworthy ٦

There has certainly been for you in them an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allāh and the Last Day. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

60:7

۞ عَسَى Perhaps ٱللَّهُ Allah أَن [that] يَجْعَلَ will put بَيْنَكُمْ between you وَبَيْنَ and between ٱلَّذِينَ those (to) whom عَادَيْتُم you have been enemies مِّنْهُم among them مَّوَدَّةًۭ ۚ love وَٱللَّهُ And Allah قَدِيرٌۭ ۚ (is) All-Powerful وَٱللَّهُ And Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ٧

Perhaps Allāh will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies among them, affection. And Allāh is competent, and Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

لَّا Not يَنْهَىٰكُمُ (does) forbid you ٱللَّهُ Allah عَنِ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَمْ (do) not يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ fight you فِى in ٱلدِّينِ the religion وَلَمْ and (do) not يُخْرِجُوكُم drive you out مِّن of دِيَـٰرِكُمْ your homes أَن that تَبَرُّوهُمْ you deal kindly وَتُقْسِطُوٓا۟ and deal justly إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ with them إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُقْسِطِينَ those who act justly ٨

Allāh does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.

60:9

إِنَّمَا Only يَنْهَىٰكُمُ forbids you ٱللَّهُ Allah عَنِ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who قَـٰتَلُوكُمْ fight you فِى in ٱلدِّينِ the religion وَأَخْرَجُوكُم and drive you out مِّن of دِيَـٰرِكُمْ your homes وَظَـٰهَرُوا۟ and support عَلَىٰٓ in إِخْرَاجِكُمْ your expulsion أَن that تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ you make them allies وَمَن And whoever يَتَوَلَّهُمْ makes them allies فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ [they] ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ (are) the wrongdoers ٩

Allāh only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
