Muhammad · Madani · 38 Ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve وَصَدُّوا۟ and turn away عَن from سَبِيلِ (the) way of Allah ٱللَّهِ (the) way of Allah أَضَلَّ He will cause to be lost أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deeds ١

Those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allāh - He will waste their deeds.

وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe وَعَمِلُوا۟ and do ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ righteous deeds وَءَامَنُوا۟ and believe بِمَا in what نُزِّلَ is revealed عَلَىٰ to مُحَمَّدٍۢ Muhammad وَهُوَ and it ٱلْحَقُّ (is) the truth مِن from رَّبِّهِمْ ۙ their Lord كَفَّرَ He will remove عَنْهُمْ from them سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ their misdeeds وَأَصْلَحَ and improve بَالَهُمْ their condition ٢

And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been sent down upon Muḥammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition.

ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّ (is) because ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ follow ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ falsehood وَأَنَّ and that ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ follow ٱلْحَقَّ (the) truth مِن from رَّبِّهِمْ ۚ their Lord كَذَٰلِكَ Thus يَضْرِبُ Allah presents ٱللَّهُ Allah presents لِلنَّاسِ to the people أَمْثَـٰلَهُمْ their similitudes ٣

That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allāh present to the people their comparisons.

فَإِذَا So when لَقِيتُمُ you meet ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve فَضَرْبَ then strike ٱلرِّقَابِ the necks حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَآ when أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ you have subdued them فَشُدُّوا۟ then bind firmly ٱلْوَثَاقَ the bond فَإِمَّا then either مَنًّۢا a favor بَعْدُ afterwards وَإِمَّا or فِدَآءً ransom حَتَّىٰ until تَضَعَ lays down ٱلْحَرْبُ the war أَوْزَارَهَا ۚ its burdens ذَٰلِكَ That وَلَوْ And if يَشَآءُ Allah had willed ٱللَّهُ Allah had willed لَٱنتَصَرَ surely, He could have taken retribution مِنْهُمْ from them وَلَـٰكِن but لِّيَبْلُوَا۟ to test بَعْضَكُم some of you بِبَعْضٍۢ ۗ with others وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who قُتِلُوا۟ are killed فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way of Allah ٱللَّهِ (the) way of Allah فَلَن then never يُضِلَّ He will cause to be lost أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deeds ٤

So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure [their] bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allāh had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allāh - never will He waste their deeds.

سَيَهْدِيهِمْ He will guide them وَيُصْلِحُ and improve بَالَهُمْ their condition ٥

He will guide them and amend their condition

وَيُدْخِلُهُمُ And admit them ٱلْجَنَّةَ (to) Paradise عَرَّفَهَا He has made it known لَهُمْ to them ٦

And admit them to Paradise, which He has made known to them.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوٓا۟ O you who believe إِن If تَنصُرُوا۟ you help ٱللَّهَ Allah يَنصُرْكُمْ He will help you وَيُثَبِّتْ and make firm أَقْدَامَكُمْ your feet ٧

O you who have believed, if you support Allāh, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.

— Come To Light

وَٱلَّذِينَ But those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve فَتَعْسًۭا destruction (is) لَّهُمْ for them وَأَضَلَّ and He will cause to be lost أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deeds ٨

But those who disbelieve - for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds.

— Come To Light

ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they كَرِهُوا۟ hate مَآ what أَنزَلَ Allah has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah has revealed فَأَحْبَطَ so He has made worthless أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ their deeds ٩

That is because they disliked what Allāh revealed, so He rendered worthless their deeds.

— Come To Light

۞ أَفَلَمْ Do not يَسِيرُوا۟ they travel فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَيَنظُرُوا۟ and see كَيْفَ how كَانَ was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those مِن before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ before them دَمَّرَ Allah destroyed ٱللَّهُ Allah destroyed عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ [over] them وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ and for the disbelievers أَمْثَـٰلُهَا its likeness ١٠

Have they not traveled through the land and seen how was the end of those before them? Allāh destroyed [everything] over them, and for the disbelievers is something comparable.

— Come To Light

ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّ (is) because ٱللَّهَ Allah مَوْلَى (is the) Protector ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe وَأَنَّ and that ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers لَا (there is) no مَوْلَىٰ protector لَهُمْ for them ١١

That is because Allāh is the protector of those who have believed and because the disbelievers have no protector.
