4:75

وَمَا And what لَكُمْ for you لَا (that) not تُقَـٰتِلُونَ you fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ and (for) those who are weak مِنَ among ٱلرِّجَالِ the men وَٱلنِّسَآءِ and the women وَٱلْوِلْدَٰنِ and the children ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَقُولُونَ say رَبَّنَآ Our Lord أَخْرِجْنَا take us out مِنْ of هَـٰذِهِ this ٱلْقَرْيَةِ [the] town ٱلظَّالِمِ [the] oppressor(s) أَهْلُهَا (are) its people وَٱجْعَل and appoint لَّنَا for us مِن from لَّدُنكَ Yourself وَلِيًّۭا a protector وَٱجْعَل and appoint لَّنَا for us مِن from لَّدُنكَ Yourself نَصِيرًا a helper ٧٥

And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allāh and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper"?

4:76

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe يُقَـٰتِلُونَ they fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ ۖ (of) Allah وَٱلَّذِينَ and those كَفَرُوا۟ who disbelieve يُقَـٰتِلُونَ they fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ (of) the false deities فَقَـٰتِلُوٓا۟ So fight (against) أَوْلِيَآءَ (the) friends ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ (of) the Shaitaan إِنَّ Indeed كَيْدَ (the) strategy ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ (of) the Shaitaan كَانَ is ضَعِيفًا weak ٧٦

Those who believe fight in the cause of Allāh, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of ṭāghūt. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.

4:77

أَلَمْ Have not تَرَ you seen إِلَى [towards] ٱلَّذِينَ those who قِيلَ (when) it was said لَهُمْ to them كُفُّوٓا۟ Restrain أَيْدِيَكُمْ your hands وَأَقِيمُوا۟ and establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer وَءَاتُوا۟ and give ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ the zakah فَلَمَّا Then when كُتِبَ was ordained عَلَيْهِمُ on them ٱلْقِتَالُ the fighting إِذَا then فَرِيقٌۭ a group مِّنْهُمْ of them يَخْشَوْنَ [they] fear ٱلنَّاسَ the people كَخَشْيَةِ as (they) fear ٱللَّهِ Allah أَوْ or أَشَدَّ more intense خَشْيَةًۭ ۚ fear وَقَالُوا۟ and they said رَبَّنَا Our Lord لِمَ why كَتَبْتَ have You ordained عَلَيْنَا upon us ٱلْقِتَالَ [the] fighting لَوْلَآ Why not أَخَّرْتَنَآ You postpone (it for) us إِلَىٰٓ to أَجَلٍۢ a term قَرِيبٍۢ ۗ near قُلْ Say مَتَـٰعُ Enjoyment ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world قَلِيلٌۭ (is) little وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ and the Hereafter خَيْرٌۭ (is) better لِّمَنِ for whoever ٱتَّقَىٰ fears (Allah) وَلَا and not تُظْلَمُونَ you will be wronged فَتِيلًا (even as much as) a hair on a date-seed ٧٧

Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakāh"? But then when battle was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allāh or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say, "The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allāh. And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."

4:78

أَيْنَمَا Wherever تَكُونُوا۟ you be يُدْرِككُّمُ will overtake you ٱلْمَوْتُ [the] death وَلَوْ even if كُنتُمْ you are فِى in بُرُوجٍۢ towers مُّشَيَّدَةٍۢ ۗ lofty وَإِن And if تُصِبْهُمْ befalls them حَسَنَةٌۭ any good يَقُولُوا۟ they say هَـٰذِهِۦ This مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah وَإِن And if تُصِبْهُمْ befalls them سَيِّئَةٌۭ any evil يَقُولُوا۟ they say هَـٰذِهِۦ This مِنْ (is) عِندِكَ ۚ (from) you قُلْ Say كُلٌّۭ All مِّنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah فَمَالِ So what (is wrong) هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ (with) these ٱلْقَوْمِ [the] people لَا not يَكَادُونَ do they seem يَفْقَهُونَ (to) understand حَدِيثًۭا any statement ٧٨

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allāh"; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allāh." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?

4:79

مَّآ What(ever) أَصَابَكَ befalls you مِنْ of حَسَنَةٍۢ (the) good فَمِنَ (is) from ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah وَمَآ and whatever أَصَابَكَ befalls you مِن of سَيِّئَةٍۢ (the) evil فَمِن (is) from نَّفْسِكَ ۚ yourself وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ And We have sent you لِلنَّاسِ for the people رَسُولًۭا ۚ (as) a Messenger وَكَفَىٰ and is sufficient بِٱللَّهِ Allah شَهِيدًۭا (as) a Witness ٧٩

What comes to you of good is from Allāh, but what comes to you of evil, [O man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muḥammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allāh as Witness.
