ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّ (is) because ٱللَّهَ Allah لَمْ not يَكُ is مُغَيِّرًۭا One Who changes نِّعْمَةً a favor أَنْعَمَهَا which He had bestowed عَلَىٰ on قَوْمٍ a people حَتَّىٰ until يُغَيِّرُوا۟ they change مَا what بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۙ (is) in themselves وَأَنَّ And indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌۭ All-Knowing ٥٣

كَدَأْبِ Like (the) way ءَالِ (of) people فِرْعَوْنَ ۙ (of) Firaun وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who مِن (were) from قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ before them كَذَّبُوا۟ They denied بِـَٔايَـٰتِ (the) Signs رَبِّهِمْ (of) their Lord فَأَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم so We destroyed them بِذُنُوبِهِمْ for their sins وَأَغْرَقْنَآ and We drowned ءَالَ (the) people فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ (of) Firaun وَكُلٌّۭ and (they) all كَانُوا۟ were ظَـٰلِمِينَ wrongdoers ٥٤

إِنَّ Indeed شَرَّ (the) worst ٱلدَّوَآبِّ (of) the living creatures عِندَ near ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلَّذِينَ (are) those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve فَهُمْ and they لَا (will) not يُؤْمِنُونَ believe ٥٥

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who عَـٰهَدتَّ you made a covenant مِنْهُمْ with them ثُمَّ then يَنقُضُونَ they break عَهْدَهُمْ their covenant فِى [in] كُلِّ every مَرَّةٍۢ time وَهُمْ and they لَا (do) not يَتَّقُونَ fear (Allah) ٥٦

فَإِمَّا So if تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ you gain dominance over them فِى in ٱلْحَرْبِ the war فَشَرِّدْ disperse بِهِم by them مَّنْ (those) who خَلْفَهُمْ (are) behind them لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَذَّكَّرُونَ take heed ٥٧

وَإِمَّا And if تَخَافَنَّ you fear مِن from قَوْمٍ a people خِيَانَةًۭ betrayal فَٱنۢبِذْ throw back إِلَيْهِمْ to them عَلَىٰ on سَوَآءٍ ۚ equal (terms) إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ the traitors ٥٨

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve سَبَقُوٓا۟ ۚ they can outstrip إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they لَا (can) not يُعْجِزُونَ escape ٥٩

وَأَعِدُّوا۟ And prepare لَهُم for them مَّا whatever ٱسْتَطَعْتُم you able (to) مِّن of قُوَّةٍۢ force وَمِن and of رِّبَاطِ tethered ٱلْخَيْلِ horses تُرْهِبُونَ (to) terrify بِهِۦ therewith عَدُوَّ (the) enemy ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَعَدُوَّكُمْ and your enemy وَءَاخَرِينَ and others مِن from دُونِهِمْ besides them لَا not تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ (do) you know them ٱللَّهُ (but) Allah يَعْلَمُهُمْ ۚ knows them وَمَا And whatever تُنفِقُوا۟ you spend مِن from شَىْءٍۢ (any) thing فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يُوَفَّ it will be fully repaid إِلَيْكُمْ to you وَأَنتُمْ and you لَا (will) not تُظْلَمُونَ be wronged ٦٠

۞ وَإِن And if جَنَحُوا۟ they incline لِلسَّلْمِ to peace فَٱجْنَحْ then you (also) incline لَهَا to it وَتَوَكَّلْ and put (your) trust عَلَى in ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah إِنَّهُۥ Indeed هُوَ He ٱلسَّمِيعُ (is) All-Hearer ٱلْعَلِيمُ All-Knower ٦١
