إِنَّمَا Indeed ٱلنَّسِىٓءُ the postponing زِيَادَةٌۭ (is) an increase فِى in ٱلْكُفْرِ ۖ the disbelief يُضَلُّ are led astray بِهِ by it ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve يُحِلُّونَهُۥ They make it lawful عَامًۭا one year وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ and make it unlawful عَامًۭا (another) year لِّيُوَاطِـُٔوا۟ to adjust عِدَّةَ the number مَا which حَرَّمَ Allah has made unlawful ٱللَّهُ Allah has made unlawful فَيُحِلُّوا۟ and making lawful مَا what حَرَّمَ Allah has made unlawful ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah has made unlawful زُيِّنَ Is made fair-seeming لَهُمْ to them سُوٓءُ (the) evil أَعْمَـٰلِهِمْ ۗ (of) their deeds وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ٣٧

Indeed, the postponing [of restriction within sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led [further] astray. They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year to correspond to the number made unlawful by Allāh and [thus] make lawful what Allāh has made unlawful. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.

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

O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allāh, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.

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

If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allāh is over all things competent.

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

If you do not aid him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] - Allāh has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allāh is with us." And Allāh sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with soldiers [i.e., angels] you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allāh - that is the highest. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
