يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوا۟ O you who believe مَا What لَكُمْ (is the matter) with you إِذَا when قِيلَ it is said لَكُمُ to you ٱنفِرُوا۟ go forth فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ٱثَّاقَلْتُمْ you cling heavily إِلَى to ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ the earth أَرَضِيتُم Are you pleased بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ with the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world مِنَ (rather) than ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۚ the Hereafter فَمَا But what مَتَـٰعُ (is the) enjoyment ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world فِى in (comparison to) ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the hereafter إِلَّا except قَلِيلٌ a little ٣٨

إِلَّا If not تَنفِرُوا۟ you go forth يُعَذِّبْكُمْ He will punish you عَذَابًا (with) a painful punishment أَلِيمًۭا (with) a painful punishment وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ and will replace you قَوْمًا (with) a people غَيْرَكُمْ other than you وَلَا and not تَضُرُّوهُ you can harm Him شَيْـًۭٔا ۗ (in) anything وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌ All-Powerful ٣٩

إِلَّا If not تَنصُرُوهُ you help him فَقَدْ certainly نَصَرَهُ Allah helped him ٱللَّهُ Allah helped him إِذْ when أَخْرَجَهُ drove him out ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved ثَانِىَ the second ٱثْنَيْنِ (of) the two إِذْ when هُمَا they both فِى (were) in ٱلْغَارِ the cave إِذْ when يَقُولُ he said لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ to his companion لَا (Do) not تَحْزَنْ grieve إِنَّ indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah مَعَنَا ۖ (is) with us فَأَنزَلَ Then Allah sent down ٱللَّهُ Then Allah sent down سَكِينَتَهُۥ His tranquility عَلَيْهِ upon him وَأَيَّدَهُۥ and supported him بِجُنُودٍۢ with forces لَّمْ which you did not see تَرَوْهَا which you did not see وَجَعَلَ and made كَلِمَةَ (the) word ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved ٱلسُّفْلَىٰ ۗ the lowest وَكَلِمَةُ while (the) Word ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah هِىَ it (is) ٱلْعُلْيَا ۗ the highest وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَزِيزٌ (is) All-Mighty حَكِيمٌ All-Wise ٤٠

ٱنفِرُوا۟ Go forth خِفَافًۭا light وَثِقَالًۭا or heavy وَجَـٰهِدُوا۟ and strive بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ with your wealth وَأَنفُسِكُمْ and your lives فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah ذَٰلِكُمْ That خَيْرٌۭ (is) better لَّكُمْ for you إِن if كُنتُمْ you تَعْلَمُونَ know ٤١

لَوْ If كَانَ it had been عَرَضًۭا a gain قَرِيبًۭا near وَسَفَرًۭا and a journey قَاصِدًۭا easy لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ surely they (would) have followed you وَلَـٰكِنۢ but بَعُدَتْ was long عَلَيْهِمُ for them ٱلشُّقَّةُ ۚ the distance وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ And they will swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah لَوِ If ٱسْتَطَعْنَا we were able لَخَرَجْنَا certainly we (would) have come forth مَعَكُمْ with you يُهْلِكُونَ They destroy أَنفُسَهُمْ their own selves وَٱللَّهُ and Allah يَعْلَمُ knows إِنَّهُمْ (that) indeed, they لَكَـٰذِبُونَ (are) surely liars ٤٢

عَفَا (May) Allah forgive ٱللَّهُ (May) Allah forgive عَنكَ you لِمَ Why (did) أَذِنتَ you grant leave لَهُمْ to them حَتَّىٰ until يَتَبَيَّنَ (became) evident لَكَ to you ٱلَّذِينَ those who صَدَقُوا۟ were truthful وَتَعْلَمَ and you knew ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ the liars ٤٣

لَا (Would) not ask your permission يَسْتَـْٔذِنُكَ (Would) not ask your permission ٱلَّذِينَ those who يُؤْمِنُونَ believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ the Last أَن that يُجَـٰهِدُوا۟ they strive بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ with their wealth وَأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ and their lives وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knower بِٱلْمُتَّقِينَ of the righteous ٤٤

إِنَّمَا Only يَسْتَـْٔذِنُكَ ask your leave ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يُؤْمِنُونَ believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ the Last وَٱرْتَابَتْ and (are in) doubts قُلُوبُهُمْ their hearts فَهُمْ so they فِى in رَيْبِهِمْ their doubts يَتَرَدَّدُونَ they waver ٤٥

۞ وَلَوْ And if أَرَادُوا۟ they had wished ٱلْخُرُوجَ (to) go forth لَأَعَدُّوا۟ surely they (would) have prepared لَهُۥ for it عُدَّةًۭ (some) preparation وَلَـٰكِن But كَرِهَ Allah disliked ٱللَّهُ Allah disliked ٱنۢبِعَاثَهُمْ their being sent فَثَبَّطَهُمْ so He made them lag behind وَقِيلَ and it was said ٱقْعُدُوا۟ Sit مَعَ with ٱلْقَـٰعِدِينَ those who sit ٤٦

لَوْ If خَرَجُوا۟ they (had) gone forth فِيكُم with you مَّا not زَادُوكُمْ they (would) have increased you إِلَّا except خَبَالًۭا (in) confusion وَلَأَوْضَعُوا۟ and would have been active خِلَـٰلَكُمْ in your midst يَبْغُونَكُمُ seeking (for) you ٱلْفِتْنَةَ dissension وَفِيكُمْ And among you (are some) سَمَّـٰعُونَ who would have listened لَهُمْ ۗ to them وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knower بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ of the wrongdoers ٤٧

لَقَدِ Verily ٱبْتَغَوُا۟ they had sought ٱلْفِتْنَةَ dissension مِن before قَبْلُ before وَقَلَّبُوا۟ and had upset لَكَ for you ٱلْأُمُورَ the matters حَتَّىٰ until جَآءَ came ٱلْحَقُّ the truth وَظَهَرَ and became manifest أَمْرُ (the) Order of Allah ٱللَّهِ (the) Order of Allah وَهُمْ while they كَـٰرِهُونَ disliked (it) ٤٨

وَمِنْهُم And among them مَّن (is he) who يَقُولُ says ٱئْذَن Grant me leave لِّى Grant me leave وَلَا and (do) not تَفْتِنِّىٓ ۚ put me to trial أَلَا Surely فِى in ٱلْفِتْنَةِ the trial سَقَطُوا۟ ۗ they have fallen وَإِنَّ And indeed جَهَنَّمَ Hell لَمُحِيطَةٌۢ (will) surely surround بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ٤٩

إِن If تُصِبْكَ befalls you حَسَنَةٌۭ good تَسُؤْهُمْ ۖ it distresses them وَإِن but if تُصِبْكَ befalls you مُصِيبَةٌۭ a calamity يَقُولُوا۟ they say قَدْ Verily أَخَذْنَآ we took أَمْرَنَا our matter مِن before قَبْلُ before وَيَتَوَلَّوا۟ And they turn away وَّهُمْ while they فَرِحُونَ (are) rejoicing ٥٠

قُل Say لَّن Never يُصِيبَنَآ will befall us إِلَّا except مَا what كَتَبَ Allah has decreed ٱللَّهُ Allah has decreed لَنَا for us هُوَ He مَوْلَىٰنَا ۚ (is) our Protector وَعَلَى And on ٱللَّهِ Allah فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ [so] let the believers put (their) trust ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ [so] let the believers put (their) trust ٥١

قُلْ Say هَلْ Do تَرَبَّصُونَ you await بِنَآ for us إِلَّآ except إِحْدَى one ٱلْحُسْنَيَيْنِ ۖ (of) the two best (things) وَنَحْنُ while we نَتَرَبَّصُ [we] await بِكُمْ for you أَن that يُصِيبَكُمُ Allah will afflict you ٱللَّهُ Allah will afflict you بِعَذَابٍۢ with a punishment مِّنْ from عِندِهِۦٓ [near] Him أَوْ or بِأَيْدِينَا ۖ by our hands فَتَرَبَّصُوٓا۟ So wait إِنَّا indeed, we مَعَكُم with you مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ (are) waiting ٥٢

قُلْ Say أَنفِقُوا۟ Spend طَوْعًا willingly أَوْ or كَرْهًۭا unwillingly لَّن never يُتَقَبَّلَ will be accepted مِنكُمْ ۖ from you إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you كُنتُمْ [you] are قَوْمًۭا a people فَـٰسِقِينَ defiantly disobedient ٥٣

وَمَا And not مَنَعَهُمْ prevents them أَن that تُقْبَلَ is accepted مِنْهُمْ from them نَفَقَـٰتُهُمْ their contributions إِلَّآ except أَنَّهُمْ that they كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ and in His Messenger وَلَا and not يَأْتُونَ they come ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ (to) the prayer إِلَّا except وَهُمْ while they كُسَالَىٰ (are) lazy وَلَا and not يُنفِقُونَ they spend إِلَّا except وَهُمْ while they كَـٰرِهُونَ (are) unwilling ٥٤

فَلَا So (let) not تُعْجِبْكَ impress you أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ their wealth وَلَآ and not أَوْلَـٰدُهُمْ ۚ their children إِنَّمَا Only يُرِيدُ Allah intends ٱللَّهُ Allah intends لِيُعَذِّبَهُم to punish them بِهَا with it فِى in ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world وَتَزْهَقَ and should depart أَنفُسُهُمْ their souls وَهُمْ while they كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ٥٥

وَيَحْلِفُونَ And they swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah إِنَّهُمْ indeed, they لَمِنكُمْ surely (are) of you وَمَا while not هُم they مِّنكُمْ (are) of you وَلَـٰكِنَّهُمْ but they قَوْمٌۭ (are) a people يَفْرَقُونَ (who) are afraid ٥٦

لَوْ If يَجِدُونَ they could find مَلْجَـًٔا a refuge أَوْ or مَغَـٰرَٰتٍ caves أَوْ or مُدَّخَلًۭا a place to enter لَّوَلَّوْا۟ surely, they would turn إِلَيْهِ to it وَهُمْ and they يَجْمَحُونَ run wild ٥٧
