SURAH
AL-I'IMRAN
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Alif. Lam Mim.
2. Allah is. Beside Whom none is to be worshiped. Self-Living,
Sustainer of others.
3. He sent down to you this true Book, confirming preceding
Books, and He sent down Tawrat and Injil before this.
4. A for time guiding the people and sent down the criterion;
No doubt, for those who denied the Signs of Allah is the severe
torment and Allah the Mighty, is Possessor of the power of retribution.
5. Nothing is hidden from Allah, neither in the earth nor
in the heaven.
6. It is He Who forms your shape in the wombs of the mothers
as He pleases. Besides Whom none is to be worshiped the Dominant,
the Wise.
7. It is He Who sent down upon you the Book, in which some
verses have clear meaning, they are the substance of the Book,
and others are those, in the meaning of which there is doubt.
Those in whose hearts there is perversity pursue doubtful one
desiring deviation and searching their own viewpoint of it,
and its right interpretation is known to Allah alone. And those
of firm knowledge say, 'We believed in it, all is from our Lord
and none accept admonition save men of understanding.
8. 'O our Lord! Let not our hearts become perverse after
this that You guided us and bestow on us mercy from Yourself;
no doubt, You are the big Bestower.
9. 'O our Lord! No doubt You are the assembler of all people
for the Day in which there is no doubt. Undoubtedly the promise
of Allah changes not.
10. No doubt, those who became infidels; their riches and
their children shall avail them nothing against Allah and it
is they who are the fuel of the hell.
11. Like the people of Pharaohs and those before them, they
belied our Signs; then Allah seized them for their sins and
Allah's punishment is severe.
12. Say to the disbeliveers, 'soon you shall be overcome
and be driven towards the hell and that is an evil bed'.
13. No doubt, there was a sign for you in two groups that
encountered among themselves. One gang fighting in the way of
Allah and the other disbeliveers that they understood them double
of themselves in their eyesight; and Allah strengthens with
His help whom He pleases. No doubt, in it there is teaching
after seeing for the men of understanding.
14. Adorned for men is the love of these lusts, women and
children and the stored up heaps of gold and silver and branded
horses and cattle and crops. This is the capital of living world;
and it is Allah with Whom there is an excellent destination.
15. Say you 'shall I inform you of something better than
that.' For pious ones there are gardens with their Lord beneath
which rivers flow therein shall they abide, and pure wives and
Allah's pleasure. And Allah sees His bondsmen.
16. Those who say, 'Our Lord we did accept faith, then forgive
us our sins and save us from the torment of the hell.'
17. The steadfast and truthful and humble and those who
spend in the way of Allah and those who seek forgiveness in
the latter part of the night.
18. Allah bore witness that none is to be worshiped save
He, and the angels and the men of learning (too) standing with
justice; none is to be worshiped save He, the most Reverend,
Wise.
19. Verily, only Islam is the Din (Religion) before Allah,
and the men of Book did not dissent but after the knowledge
had come to them, because of their hearts burning. And whoso
denies the signs of Allah; then no doubt Allah is to call to
account very soon.
20. Again O beloved! If they argue with you, then say 'I
have submitted my face before Allah and those who followed me;
and say to the men of Books and to those who read not; 'have
you submitted'? Hence if they submit, then they got the guidance
and if turn their faces, then upon you it is only to convey
the message, and Allah is seeing His bondsmen.
21. Those who deny the signs of Allah, and slay the Prophets
unjustly and kill the men ordering justice; give them good tiding
of painful torment.
22. These are they whose deeds have perished in this world
and the next and they shall have no helpers.
23. Have you not observed those given a portion of the Book
are being called to the Book of Allah that it may judge between
them, then a faction of them turns away being opposed to it?
24. This boldness came to them because they say, 'The fire
shall not touch us except for a number of days'; and the lies
which they used to invent deceived them in their religion.
25. Then how will it be, when We shall gather them for a
Day in which there is no doubt; and every soul shall be paid
in full what it has earned and they shall not be wronged.
26. Say like this, 'O Allah Master of the Kingdom, You give
the Kingdom to whom You please; and seize the Kingdom from whom
You please. And you exalt whom You please and You abase whom
You please; in Your hand is all good. No doubt You can do all
things.
27. You cause the night to enter into day and cause the
day to enter into night, and bring forth the living from the
dead and bring forth the dead from the living, and provide whomsoever
You please with out reckoning
28. Let not the Muslims takes infidels as their friends
besides the Muslims and whosoever shall do that he has no connection
with Allah, but this that have some fear of them; and Allah
cautions you from His wrath; and unto Allah is the return.
29. Say, you, 'whether you conceal what is in your hearts
or declare it, Allah knows all; and knows whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is in the earth. And Allah has the authority
over every thing.'
30. The day when every soul shall find presented whatever
it did of good and whatever it did of evil; it will long, would
there be a far distance between it and me. And Allah warns you
of His torment; and Allah is Kind enough over His bondsmen.
31. 'O beloved! Say you, 'O people! If you love Allah, then
follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins and Allah
is Forgiving, Merciful.
32. Say you, 'Obey Allah and the messenger; then if they
turn their faces, then Allah loves not the infidels.
33. No doubt, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of
Ibrahim and the family of Imran from over the entire world.
34. It is a race from one another. And Allah Hears and Knows.
35. When the wife of Imran said, My lord! 'I make a vow
to You, for what is in my womb to remain purely in Your service.
There fore accept this from me, no doubt, You alone are Hearing,
Knowing.
36. Then when she gave birth to her, she said, 'O my Lord
I have given Birth to a female. And Allah knows well whatever
she had given birth to and that male whom she demanded was not
like this female and I have named her Mary, and I give her and
her off-spring under Your protection from Satan the rejected.
37. Therefore her Lord accepted her graciously and caused
her to grow an excellent growth and gave her under the guardianship
of 'Zakaria'. Whenever Zakaria went to her place of prayer,
he found new provision with her. He said! O Mary! Whence came
this to you? She spoke, 'that is from Allah,' No doubt, Allah
gives whomsoever He pleases without measure.
38. Here Zakaria called his Lord, said, 'O my Lord! Give
me from Yourself pure offspring; no doubt, You only are the
Hearer of prayers.
39. Then the angels called him and he was offering prayer
standing at his place of worship, no doubt Allah gives you glad
tidings of Yahya who shall confirm a word from Allah, a chief
and chaste and prophet from amongst Our righteous.
40. Said, 'O my Lord! From where shall I have a son, while
the old age has reached to me and my wife is barren'. Said,
'Allah does so whatever He pleases'.
41. Submitted he, O my Lord! 'Appoint a token for me' Said,
your token is this that you shall not speak to people for three
days but with signals, and remember your Lord much and praise
Him at a time nearing sunset and at dawn.
42. And when the angels said, 'O Mary; verily Allah has
chosen you and purified well ' and today has chosen you from
amongst the women of all worlds'.
43. 'O Mary! Stand before your Lord humbly and prostrate
for Him and bow down with those who bow down.
44. These are the tidings of unseen that We reveal to you
in secret. And you were not with them when they drew lots with
their pen that under whose guardianship Mary should be given,
and you were not with them when they were disputing.
45. And remember when the angels said to Mary, 'O Mary!
Allah gives you glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name
is Masih, Isa son of Mary, he shall be dignified in the world
and the Hereafter and of those nearest to Allah.
46. And he shall talk to the people in the cradle and in
the ripe age (Maturity) and shall be of the righteous.
47. She said, 'O my Lord! From where shall I have a son
no person has touched me. Said He, "Allah creates in such
a way what He pleases". When He decrees any thing, then
He only says to it 'Be! And it is.
48. And Allah will teach him the Book and wisdom and the
Taurat and Injeel.
49. And he shall be a Messenger towards the children of
Israel saying this, 'I have brought to you a sign from your
Lord; that I make a form out of clay like a bird for you then
again breathe in it and it becomes a bird atonce by the command
of Allah; and I heal the born blind and the leper and I make
the dead alive by the command of Allah and tell to you whatever
you eat and what you store in your houses. No doubt, in these
things there is a great sign for you if you believe.
50. And I have come confirming the book Taurat that was
before me; and for this that I should make lawful some of those
things which were forbidden to you; and I have brought to you
a sign from your Lord then fear Allah and obey my command.
51. No doubt Allah is the Lord of me, of yours, of all so
worship Him only. This is the straight path.
52. Then again when Isa found infidelity in them, said,
'who become my helpers towards Allah'. The disciples said, 'We
are the helpers of the religion of God; We have believed in
Allah and bear you witness that we are Muslims.
53. 'O our Lord! 'We believe in what you have sent down
and followed the Messenger, then write us among those who bear
witness on truth.'
54. And the infidels plotted and Allah secretly devised
for their destruction and Allah is the best of secret devisers.
55. Remember, when Allah said; O Isa! I shall cause you
to reach to your full life and I shall raise you towards Myself
and I shall purify you from the infidels, and shall give your
followers superiority over the rejecters until the Day of Resurrection
then you all shall come returning to Me: then I shall decide
between you concerning that wherein you dispute'.
56. Then those who became infidels, I shall torment them
with severe punishment in this world and the next and they shall
have no helpers.
57. And to those who believed and did good deeds, Allah
will pay them their rewards in full and the unjust are not acceptable
to Allah.
58. Thus, We recite to you of some signs and wise admonition
59. The likeness of Isa with Allah, is like Adam. He created
him of dust, then said, 'Be and 'he' was atonce.
60. 'O Listener! This is the truth from your Lord; be not
therefore of doubters.
61. Then O beloved! Whoever disputes with you about Isa
after knowledge has come to you, then tell them, 'come, let
us call our sons and your sons our women and your women and
our souls and your souls, then let us pray earnestly, and so
lay the curse of Allah upon the liars.'
62. This verily is the true Narrative; There is none worthy
of worship save Allah; and verily only Allah is All Mighty,
the All Wise.
63. Then if they turn back their faces, then Allah knows
the mischief mongers.
64. Say you, O people of the Book! Come towards such a word
which is common between us and you, that is we worship none
but Allah and associate no partner with Him; and none of us
make one another as Lord beside Allah; then if they do not accept
then say, 'bear witness that we are Muslims.'
65. 'O people of the Book! Why do you dispute about Ibraham?
The Torah and Injil (Gospel) were not sent down, but after him,
then have you no reason?
66. Behold! you are those who disputed in that of which
you had knowledge, then why you dispute in that of which you
have no knowledge, and Allah knows and you know not.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor Christian but was a Muslim
separate from every falsehood and was not of the polytheists.
68. Verily, the more rightful claimant of Abraham than all
people were those who followed him and this prophet and the
believers, And Allah is the Protector of the believers.
69. A section of the people of the Book yearns that in any
way you go astray and they make astray to themselves and they
have no sense.
70. 'O people of the Book! Why do you deny the signs of
Allah, whereas you are yourselves witnesses.
71. 'O people of the Book! Why do you confound truth with
falsehood and why do you conceal the truth whereas you have
knowledge?
72. A section of the people of the Book said, 'believe in
that which has been sent down upon the believers at morning
and deny at evening; perchance they may return'.
73. And believe not any but. Him who is the follower of
your religion. Say you, 'The guidance of Allah is the only guidance
of Allah. That may be given to any one the like of that was
given to you', or anyone might argue you before your Lord. Say,
you, 'the bounty is in the hand of Allah alone; He gives it
to whomsoever He pleases; and Allah is All-Embracing All-Knowing.
74. He singles out with His mercy whomsoever He pleases
and Allah is of exceeding bounty.
75. Among the people of the Book there is someone with whom
if you keep a huge treasure in trust then he will pay it back
to you, and in them there is someone, with whom if you keep
in trust a single dinar then he will not repay it to you, except
when you remain standing over his head. It is because they say,
'there is no responsibility over us in the matter of illiterates.
And they utter a lie against Allah knowingly.
76. Yes, why not, one who fulfilled his pledge and feared
God and verily, Allah loves those who fear God.
77. Those who accept mean price in exchange of their covenant
with Allah and their oaths, they have no portion in the Hereafter,
and Allah will neither speak to them nor look towards them or
Resurrection Day, nor will He purify them; and for them there
is painful torment.
78. And among them some are those who distort the Book by
twisting their tongues; that you may think it is also in the
Book, and that is not in the Book. And they say, 'It is from
Allah, whereas it is not from Allah and they forge a lie against
Allah purposely and knowingly.
79. It is not the right of any man that Allah should give
him the Book and command and prophet hood, then he should say
to people, 'Be my bondmen leaving Allah; Yes he will say this,
'Be men of Allah because you teach the Book and because you
study it.'
80. And He would not order you this that you should take
the angels and prophets as God. Would He order you to infidelity
after it that you have become Muslims?
81. And remember when Allah took from the prophets their
covenant whatever I should give you of the Book and wisdom then
comes to you the Messenger confirming your Books, then assuredly
you shall believe in him and assuredly you help him. He said,
'do you agree, and do you accept My heavy responsibility on
it. All submitted 'We did affirm, He said, 'then be witness
against one another and I am myself among witnesses with you.
82. Now whoso turns away after this, then they are the dis-obedients.
83. Then, do they like a religion other than the religion
of Allah? And to Him has submitted whoso is in the heavens and
the earth, willingly and unwillingly, and to Him shall they
be returned.
84. Say like this, 'that We believed in Allah and in that
which was sent down to us and in that which Was sent down to
Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaque and Yaqoob and his children and
that which was given to Moosa and Isa and prophets from their
Lord. We make no distinction between any of them in believing
and to Him we have bowed down our necks.
85. And whoso will desire for a religion other than Islam
that shall never be accepted from him and in the next world
he shall be among the losers.
86. How Allah shall wish to guide such a people who disbelieved
after believing and had borne witness that the Messenger is
true and to whom had come clear signs? And Allah guides not
a people unjust.
87. Their meed is this that on them there is curse of Allah,
and of angels and of men, all together.
88. They should abide thereunder. Neither the torment shall
be lightened from over them and nor shall they be respited.
89. But those who repented thereafter and amended themselves,
then necessarily, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
90. No doubt, those who disbelieved after believing then
again wax in infidelity, their repentance shall never be accepted
and these are they who have gone astray.
91. Those who disbelieved and died as infidels, there shall
never be accepted an earth full of gold from anyone of them,
though he offers it in ransom for himself. There is painful
torment for them, and they shall have no helpers.
92. You shall never attain good unless you spend your favourite
things; and Allah knows whatever you spend.
93. All food was lawful to the children of Israel; save
what Yaqoob had made unlawful for himself before the Taurah
wee sent down. Say you, bring the Taurat and read it if you
are truthful?
94. Then after that, whose forges lie against Allah, those
are the persons unjust.
95. Say you, 'Allah is true therefore follow the religion
of Ibraham Who was separate from every falsehood, and was not
of the polytheists.
96. Verily, the first House among all marked for the worship
o, the people is that which is in Mecca abounding in blessing
and a guide of all world.
97. Therein are clear sighs; the place where Ibraham stood
and whosoever enters it, is in security. And for the sake of
Allah, the people is to perform pilgrimage to this House, who
could find a way thither. And who denies, then Allah is independent
of entire world.
98. Say you, 'O people of Book! Why not you accept the signs
of Allah while your works are before Allah.
99. Say you, 'O people of the Book! Why do you hinder those
who accepted the faith from the path of Allah, you desire to
crook it and you are yourself witness thereof? And Allah is
not unaware of your doings.
100. 'O believers! If you obey some of the people of the
Book, then they would render you infidels after your belief.
101. And how would you commit infidelity, (whereas) to you
are recited the signs of Allah; and in your midst has come the
Messenger of Allah? And he who sought the support of Allah has
been directed to a straight path.
102. 'O believers! Fear Allah, as rightly He is to be feared,
and do not die ever save as Muslims.
103. And hold fast, all together, by the rope of Allah,
and be not divided among themselves. And remember Allah's favour
upon you. Remember when there was enmity among you, He joined
your hearts together then, by His grace, you became brothers
together and you were upon the brink of a pit of Fire, then
He rescued you from it; Thus Allah explains to you His signs;
that haply you may act guidance.
104. And let there be such a group among you, that they
may call towards goodness and command what is just and forbid
evil. And the very same attained to their goals.
105. And be not like those who were divided (in sections)
and disagreed among themselves, after this that bright signs
had come to them and for them there is mighty torment.
106. On the day when some faces shall be white, and some
black. Then those whose faces: have been blackened, (they will
be told) 'did you become infidels after accepting faith? Then
now taste the torment, the recompense of your infidelity.
107. And as for those, whose faces are whitened, they are
under the mercy of Allah; they shall abide in it.
108. These are the signs of Allah that We recite unto you
correctly, and Allah intends not injustice to the people of
the worlds.
109. And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is in the earth and unto Allah is the return of all
matters.
110. You are the best among all those nations appeared unto
mankind, you command! To good, and forbid evil, and keep faith
unto Allah. Had the people of the Book believed, then it was
good for them. Some of them are Muslims and most of them are
infidels.
111. They will not harm you save annoying; and if they fight
with you, they will turn their backs from you, then again they
will not be helped.
112. Ignominy has been pitched on them, wherever they are,
they shill get no security save a rope from Allah and a rope
from men, (they may get protection). They became worthy of the
wrath of Allah and on them destitution have been pitched. This
is because they used to reject the signs of Allah and slay the
prophets unjustly. This is because they were disobedient and
transgressors.
113. All are not alike. Among the people of the Book some
are those who stand right, recite the signs of Allah in the
hours of night and prostrate.
114. They believe in Allah and the Last Day and command
good and forbid evil and run for good works, and they are righteous.
115. And those who will do good, their rights shall not
be denied and Allah knows the God fearing.
116. Those who became infidels, their riches and children
shall not avail them at all against Allah and they are the men
of hell and shall abide therein.
117. The example of that which they spend in the life of
this world is like a wind in which there is intense cold; that
strikes the harvest of such a nation which wronged themselves,
therefore it destroyed that, and Allah wronged them not, but
yes, they wrong unto their own souls.
118. 'O believers! Do not make strangers as your confidants;
they leave no stone unturned in harming you. They yearn for
what distresses you: Hostility appeared from their utterances
and what they have concealed in their breasts is yet greater.
We have made you hear Our signs clearly, if you have wisdom.
119. Behold, it is you who love them, and they love you
not. Though you believe in all the Books. And when they meet
you, they say, 'we accepted faith', and when they are alone,
then they bite their fingertips at you out of wrath. Say you,
die in your passion' Allah knows well the thoughts of the hearts.
120. Anything good befall you it vexes them; and an evil
be fall you, then they are happy at it, and if you have patience.
And fear Allah, then their guile will not hurt you at all. Verily,
their all doings are under the' circumference of Allah.
121. And remember O beloved! When you came out from your
house in the morning, I am assigning to the Muslims their positions
for battle. And Allah is All-Hearing All-Knowing.
122. When two of your groups intended Cowardice, but Allah
is their supporter, and upon Allah should the Muslims rely.
123. And verily, Allah did help you at Badr, when you were
resourceless. So fear Allah that perhaps you may be thankful.
124. When O beloved! You did say to Muslim 'Is it not enough
for you that your Lord should assist you by sending down three
thousand angels?
125. Yes, why not, if you have patience and fear God, and
the infidels came upon you instantly, then your Lord will send
five thousand angels with marks for your help.
126. And this victory Allah did not make, save for pleasing
you and so that your hearts might get rest with it, there is
no help except from Allah, the Dominant, the Wise.
127. In order that He might cut a portion of the infidels
or abase them, so that they may go back dis-appointed.
128. This matter is not in your hand, whether He shows His
graciousness to them for repent fence or torment them, for they
are unjust.
129. And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is in the earth. He Forgives whomsoever and torments
whomsoever He pleases; and Allah is For giving Merciful.
130. 'O believers! Devour not interest, doubled and redoubled;
and fear Allah, in the hope that you may get prosperity.
131. And Ward off the Fire which is already prepared for
the infidels.
132. And remain obedient to Allah and Messenger, in the
hope that you be shown mercy.
133. And run towards the forgiveness of your Lord and to
such a paradise whose width covers all heavens and earth is
already prepared for those who are pious.
134. Those who spend in the path of Allah in prosperity
and adversity and who restrain anger and who pardon men. And
virtuous people are dear to Allah.
135. And those who, when they have committed indecency or
wronged their own souls, beg forgiveness for their sins remembering
Allah, and who forgives sins save Allah? And do not persist
knowingly in what they have done.
136. For such the recompense is their 'Lord's forgiveness
and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath, they shall remain
for ever therein, and what an excellent reward is for workers.
137. Some systems have already been experimented, before
you, then see, going through the earth, how was the end of the
beliers! (Who did deny)?
138. This is to state to people and to guide and is admonition
to those who are pious.
139. And be not sluggish and neither be grieved, you are
the very same who shall overcome if you have faith.
140. If any distress has come to you, then they too have
already received a similar distress. These are the days in which
we have fixed turns for the people and that is because Allah
may make one to distinguish the believes and may assign some
of you the position of martyrs. And Allah loves not the unjust.
141. And so that Allah may purify the Muslims and wipe out
the infidels.
142. Are you in this supposition that you shall enter the
paradise and yet Allah has not tested your warriors and neither
has experimented the steadfast?
143. And you used to long for death before meeting it, so
now you have seen it with your eyes.
144. And Muhammad is only a Messenger. There have been many
other messengers before him. Will you then, if he departs or
be slain, turn back on your heels? And he, who will turn back
on his heels, shall not harm Allah at all. And very soon Allah
will recompense the thankful.
145. And no soul can die save by the leave of God - the
time of all is already recorded. And whoso desires the reward
of the world, We gave to him of this, and he who desires the
reward of the Hereafter, We give to him of this, And it is very
soon, We may recompense the thankful.
146. And many a prophet fought, with them there were many
god-men, they fell not sluggish with the miseries they faced
in the path of Allah, and neither became weak nor gave in. And
the steadfast are dear to Allah.
147. They did say nothing save this prayer, 'O Our Lord!
Forgive our sins and our excesses that we committed in our affairs,
and make firm our steps and help us against these disbelieving
people.
148. So Allah gave them the reward of the world, and goodness
of the reward of Hereafter. And the good-doers are dear to Allah.
149. 'O believers! If you follow the line of infidels, then
they will turn you upon your heels, and you will be back after
losing.
150. Whereas Allah is your Patron; and He is the best Helper.
151. Soon We shall cast terror in the hearts of infidels,
because they associated partners with Allah for which He sent
down not any understanding and their abode is Fire, and what
is the evil abode of the unjust.
152. And verily, Allah did prove the truth of His promise
to you when you were killing the infidels by His leave, until
when you showed weakness and quarrelled about the order and
Dis-obeyed after He had shown you the thing you desired for.
Of you some one desired the world and of you some one desired
the Hereafter, then He turned your faces from them that He might;
test you; and no doubt, He forgive you and Allah is Bounteous
over Muslims.
153. When you were going up and did not look back towards
anyone and Our Messenger was calling you in another group, therefore
He gave you, sorrow in recompense for a sorrow, and forgave
in order that you might not grieve for what sent out of your
hand and what befell you. And Allah is informed of your doings
154. Then after sorrow, He sent down to you slumber that
had surrounded a party of you, and another party was anxious
about themselves, suspected of Allah unjustly; like the suspicion
of Ignorance. They say, 'Have we any power in this affair'?
Say you, 'entire authority is of Allah. They conceal in their
hearts that they reveal not unto you; they say, 'if we had any
power, then we would not have been killed here." Say you,
'If you had been in your houses, even then those for whom killing
was already written would have gone forth to the place of their
slaughter; and in order that Allah might test the feelings of
your breasts, and whatever is in your hearts might purge it.
Allah knows the thoughts of your hearts.
155. No doubt, those of you who turned back on the day when
two armies met. It was Satan who made them slip because of their
certain actions, and surely Allah forgave them. Verily, Allah
is Forgiving, Gentle.
156. 'O believers! Be not like those infidels who told about
their brothers when went on journey or on holy war; that had
they been with us, they would not have died and not been slain,
in order that Allah may make it a cause of regret in their hearts.
And Allah gives life and causes death and Allah is seeing your
works.
157. And undoubtedly, if you are slain in the way of Allah
or die, then the forgiveness of Allah and His mercy are better
than their entire wealth.
158. And if you die or be slain, certainly you are to gather
towards Allah.
159. Then, it is of the mercy of Allah that O beloved! You
became gentle for them and if you had been hot headed, hard
hearted, then they certainly would have dispersed from your
circle, so pardon them and intercede for them and consult them
in the affairs; and when you have made up your mind for any
thing, then put your trust in Allah. Undoubtedly the trustful
are dear to Allah.
160. If Allah helps you, then none can overcome you; and
He forsakes you, then who is such that can help you again. And
Muslim should have trust unto Allah alone.
161. It cannot be thought about any prophet that he hides
away something and whatever he hides away, he shall come with
his hidden thing on the Day of Resurrection; then every soul
shall be paid in full what it has earned, and there shall be
no injustice unto them.
162. Will then he who follows the pleasure of Allah be like
him who has earned the wrath of Allah and his abode is hell?
And what a bad place of returns it is.
163. They are according to their ranks near Allah and Allah
sees their works.
164. Undoubtedly, Allah did a great favour to the Muslims
that in them from among themselves sent a Messenger who recites
unto them His signs and purifies them and teaches them the Book
and wisdom, and necessarily before that they were certainly
in apparent error.
165. What! When any calamity reaches you, though double
of which you had caused to reach (to them), you began to say,
"Whence it came". Say you; 'It is from your own side'.
Undoubtedly Allah can do everything.
166. And that calamity which befell you on the day the two
armies had met was by Allah's leave, and thus He might make
known the believers.
167. And that He might make one to distinguish the hypocrites
and it was said to them, "come, fight in the way of Allah
or drive out the enemy". They said, "If we knew fighting,
then certainly we would have sided you." And they on that
day were nearer to apparent infidelity than to expressed faith.
They say with their mouths, what is not in their hearts. And
Allah knows what they are concealing.
168. Those who said about their brothers and while them
selves remained behind, 'Had they obeyed us, they would not
have been killed.' Say you, 'then avert your own death if you
are truthful.'
169. And those who have been slain in the way of Allah never
think of them as dead; but they are alive with their Lord, get
their subsistence.
170. They are happy because of that which Allah has bestowed
upon them of His Bounty and are rejoicing for their successors
who have not yet joined them that on them there is not any fear,
nor any grief.
171. They rejoice at the favour of Allah and His bounty,
and that Allah wastes not the reward of Muslims.
172. Those who responded to the call of Allah and Messenger
after the wound had smitten them There is great reward for their
righteous and reverent people.
173. Those to whom people said, 'the people have gathered
against you, 'therefore fear them; but this increased their
faith and said, 'Allah is sufficient for us and what an excellent
Disposer of Affairs.
174. Hence, they returned with a favour from Allah and His
Bounty, no evil touched them and followed the pleasure of Allah.
And Allah is of great, Bounty.
175. It is only the Satan that threatens you of his friends:
so fear them not and fear Me if you have faith.
176. And (O beloved) you grieve not of them at all, who
run after infidelity, they will not harm Allah at all. And Allah
intends not to assign any position for them in the Hereafter
and for them, there is great torment.
177. Those who purchased infidelity for faith will not harm
Allah at all, and for them is the painful torment.
178. And let never the unbelievers suppose that the respite,
We grant them is some thing good for them. Certainly, We grant
them respite only because they may further increase in sin.
And for them is the degrading torment.
179. Allah is not to leave the Muslims in the present state
of affairs in which you are, until He separates unpure from
the pure. (Wicked from the good) And it is not befitting to
the dignity of Allah that O general people! He let you know
the unseen. Yes, Allah chooses from amongst His messengers whom
He pleases. Then believe in Allah and His messengers. And if
you accept faith and fear, then there is great reward for you.
180. And let not those who are niggardly with respect to
what Allah has given them out of His bounty think that it is
good for them; on the contrary it is bad for them. Soon that
for which they were niggardly shall be their necklace on the
Day of Resurrection. And only Allah is the Heir of heavens and
earth and Allah is aware of your doings.
181. Undoubtedly Allah heard those who said, "Allah
is needy and we are rich." Now We shall put their sayings
and their slaying of the prophets unjustly in writing; and We
shall say, 'taste the torment of the fire.'
182. This is the compensation of what your hands have sent
forth. And Allah does not oppress their bondsmen.
183. Those who say, 'Allah has covenanted with us that we
believe not in any messenger until he brings an order of such
sacrifice which the fire consumes; say you, 'Many messengers
came to you before me bearing clear signs and with this order
which you speak of, then why did you kill them, if you are truthful?
184. Then O beloved! If they belie you even, so the messengers
before you, who had come bearing clear signs and the scriptures
and the shining Book have already been belied.
185. Every soul is to taste the death; and you will get
your compensation in full only on the Day of Resurrection. Whosoever
is saved from the Fire and made to enter into Paradise, attained
to his goal. And the life of this world is but the goods of
deception.
186. Undoubtedly, you shall certainly be tested in your
property and in your lives. And undoubtedly, you shall certainly
hear a good deal of bad things from the people of the Book before
you and from idolaters. But if you endure and guard yourselves
(against evils), then it is the work of strong determination.
187. And remember when Allah took a covenant from those
who were given the Book that, 'you shall necessarily make it
known to the people and congeal it not, but they threw it behind
their backs, and took a mean price in Exchange of it, then how
an evil Purchasing it is!
188. Never think of those who rejoice on their doings and
wish that they may be praised without doing. Never think of
such people away from the torment and for them is the painful
torment.
189. And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and
earth; and Allah is Potent over every thing.
190. Undoubtedly, in the creation of heavens and earth and
in the mutual alternation of night and day, there are signs
for men of understanding.
191. Who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on
their sides, and contemplate in the creation of heavens and
earth; (saying) "O our Lord! You have not made it invain,
Hallowed be You, You save us from the torment of the Hell.
192. 'O our Lord! Verily whomsoever you cause to enter the
Hell, him You have surely humiliated, and the unjust have no
helpers.
193. 'O our Lord! We heard a proclaimer that he calls for
believing, that believe unto your Lord; then we believed. O
our Lord! Forgive us our sins and wipe off us our evils and
cause us to die along with the righteous.
194. 'O our Lord! And give us that what You have promised
to us through Your Messengers; and disgrace us not on the Day
of Resurrection. Undoubtedly You do not break the promise.
195. Then their Lord heard their prayer that I certainly
waste not the labour of any worker from amongst you, be a male
or female, you are one among yourselves. Hence those who emigrated
and were driven out from their homes, and were tortured in My
way and fought and were killed. I shall surely wipe out all
their sins and shall surely cause them to enter into the gardens
beneath which flow rivers, a reward from Allah. And with Allah
only there is good reward.
196. 'O Listener! Let not deceive you the strutting about
of the infidels in the cities.
197. A brief enjoyment; their abode is the Hell and what
an evil bed!
198. But those who fear their Lord, for them there are gardens
beneath which flow rivers. They shall abide therein; an entertainment
from Allah and that, which is with Allah, is still better for
the righteous.
199. And undoubtedly, some among the men of the Book are
such that they believe in Allah and in what has been sent to
you and what have been sent down to them, their hearts are bent
towards Allah, do not accept mean price for the signs of Allah.
These are those whose reward is with their Lord; and Allah is
swift in taking account.
200. 'O believers! Be patient, and excel in patience with
the enemies and guard Islamic country on the border and remain
fearing Allah that haply you may be successful.
