Surah At-Tawbah

Verse 9:1

بَرَآءَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۤ اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتُّمْ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ۟ؕ

BARAAAʹATUM MINAL LAAHI wa-Rasooliheee ʹilal laẓeena ʻaahattum minal Mushrikeen:―

˹This is˺ a discharge from all obligations, by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ˹believers˺ have entered into treaties with:

Verse 9:2

فَسِیْحُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَّاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ غَیْرُ مُعْجِزِی اللّٰهِ ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْزِی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Faseeḥoo fil ʹarḍi ʹarbaʻata ʹashhuriñw waʻlamooo ʹannakum g̣ayru muʻjizil laahi wa-ʹannal laaha mukhzil kaafireen.

“You ˹polytheists˺ may travel freely through the land for four months, but know that you will have no escape from Allah, and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers.”

Verse 9:3

وَاَذَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖۤ اِلَی النَّاسِ یَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الْاَكْبَرِ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ۙ۬ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ؕ فَاِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ غَیْرُ مُعْجِزِی اللّٰهِ ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹaẓaanum minal laahi wa-Rasooliheee ʹilan naasi yawmal Ḥajjil ʹAkbari ʹannal laaha bareeeʹum minal mushrikeena wa-Rasooluh. Faʹiñ tubtum fahuwa khayrul lakum: wa-ʹiñ tawallaytum faʻlamooo ʹannakum g̣ayru muʻjizil laah. Wa-bashshiril laẓeena kafaroo biʻaẓaabin ʹaleem:

A declaration from Allah and His Messenger ˹is made˺ to all people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and His Messenger are free of the polytheists. So if you ˹pagans˺ repent, it will be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you will have no escape from Allah. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the disbelievers of a painful punishment.

Verse 9:4

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتُّمْ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَنْقُصُوْكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّلَمْ یُظَاهِرُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ اَحَدًا فَاَتِمُّوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ اِلٰی مُدَّتِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟

ʹIllal laẓeena ʻaahattum minal mushrikeena s̤umma lam yañq̣uṣookum shayʹañw walam yuz̤̣aahiroo ʻalaykum ʹaḥadañ faʹatimmooo ʹilayhim ʻahdahum ʹilaa muddatihim: ʹinnal laaha yuḥibbul Muttaq̣een.

As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

Verse 9:5

فَاِذَا انْسَلَخَ الْاَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ حَیْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ وَخُذُوْهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوْهُمْ وَاقْعُدُوْا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ ۚ فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَخَلُّوْا سَبِیْلَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Faʹiẓañ salakhal ʹAshhurul Ḥurumu faq̣tulul mushrikeena ḥays̤u wajattumoohum wa-khuẓoohum waḥṣuroohum waq̣ʻudoo lahum kulla marṣad. Faʹiñ taaboo wa-ʹaq̣aamuṣ Ṣalaata wa-ʹaatawuz Zakaata fakhalloo sabeelahum: ʹinnal laaha G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ˹who violated their treaties˺ wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 9:6

وَاِنْ اَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَاَجِرْهُ حَتّٰی یَسْمَعَ كَلٰمَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ اَبْلِغْهُ مَاْمَنَهٗ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-ʹin ʹaḥadum minal mushrikeenas tajaaraka faʹajirhu ḥattaa yasmaʻa Kalaamal laahi s̤umma ʹablig̣hu maʹmanah. Ẓaalika biʹannahum q̣awmul laa yaʻlamoon.

And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ˹O Prophet˺, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge.

Verse 9:7

كَیْفَ یَكُوْنُ لِلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ عَهْدٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعِنْدَ رَسُوْلِهٖۤ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتُّمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۚ فَمَا اسْتَقَامُوْا لَكُمْ فَاسْتَقِیْمُوْا لَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟

Kayfa yakoonu lilmushrikeena ʻahdun ʻiñdal laahi wa-ʻiñda Rasooliheee ʹillal laẓeena ʻaahattum ʻiñdal Masjidil Ḥaraam? Famas taq̣aamoo lakum fastaq̣eemoo lahum: ʹinnal laaha yuḥibbul Muttaq̣een.

How can such polytheists have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger, except those you have made a treaty with at the Sacred Mosque? So, as long as they are true to you, be true to them. Indeed Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

Verse 9:8

كَیْفَ وَاِنْ یَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ لَا یَرْقُبُوْا فِیْكُمْ اِلًّا وَّلَا ذِمَّةً ؕ یُرْضُوْنَكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَاْبٰی قُلُوْبُهُمْ ۚ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ ۟ۚ

Kayfa wa-ʹiñy yaz̤̣haroo ʻalaykum laa- yarq̣uboo feekum ʹillañw Walaa ẓimmah? Yurḍoonakum̃ biʹafwaahihim wa-taʹbaa q̣uloobuhum; wa-ʹaks̤aruhum faasiq̣oon.

How ˹can they have a treaty˺? If they were to have the upper hand over you, they would have no respect for kinship or treaty. They only flatter you with their tongues, but their hearts are in denial, and most of them are rebellious.

Verse 9:9

اِشْتَرَوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا فَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

ʹIshtaraw biʹAayaatil laahi s̤amanañ q̣aleelañ faṣaddoo ʻañ Sabeelih: ʹinnahum saaaʹa maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

They chose a fleeting gain over Allah’s revelations, hindering ˹others˺ from His Way. Evil indeed is what they have done!

Verse 9:10

لَا یَرْقُبُوْنَ فِیْ مُؤْمِنٍ اِلًّا وَّلَا ذِمَّةً ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُوْنَ ۟

Laa- yarq̣uboona fee Muʹminin ʹillañw Walaa ẓimmah. Wa-ʹulaaaʹika humul muʻtadoon.

They do not honour the bonds of kinship or treaties with the believers. It is they who are the transgressors.

Verse 9:11

فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ ؕ وَنُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Faʹiñ taaboo wa-ʹaq̣aamuṣ Ṣalaata wa-ʹaatawuz Zakaata faʹikhwaanukum fid Deen: wa-nufaṣṣilul ʹAayaati liq̣awmiñy yaʻlamoon.

But if they repent, perform prayer, and pay alms-tax, then they are your brothers in faith. This is how We make the revelations clear for people of knowledge.

Verse 9:12

وَاِنْ نَّكَثُوْۤا اَیْمَانَهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُوْا فِیْ دِیْنِكُمْ فَقَاتِلُوْۤا اَىِٕمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ ۙ اِنَّهُمْ لَاۤ اَیْمَانَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَنْتَهُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹin nakas̤ooo ʹaymaanahum mim baʻdi ʻahdihim waṭaʻanoo fee Deenikum faq̣aatilooo ʹaʹimmatal kufri ʹinnahum laaa ʹaymaana lahum laʻallahum yañtahoon.

But if they break their oaths after making a pledge and attack your faith, then fight the champions of disbelief—who never honour their oaths—so perhaps they will desist.

Verse 9:13

اَلَا تُقَاتِلُوْنَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُوْۤا اَیْمَانَهُمْ وَهَمُّوْا بِاِخْرَاجِ الرَّسُوْلِ وَهُمْ بَدَءُوْكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ؕ اَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ ۚ فَاللّٰهُ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَخْشَوْهُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

ʹAlaa tuq̣aatiloona q̣awman nakas̤ooo ʹaymaanahum wa-hammoo biʹikhraajir Rasooli wa-hum̃ badaʹookum ʹawwala marrah? ʹAtakhshawnahum? Fallaahu ʹaḥaq̣q̣u ʹañ takhshawhu ʹiñ kuñtum Muʹmineen.

Will you not fight those who have broken their oaths, conspired to expel the Messenger ˹from Mecca˺, and attacked you first? Do you fear them? Allah is more deserving of your fear, if you are ˹true˺ believers.

Verse 9:14

قَاتِلُوْهُمْ یُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاَیْدِیْكُمْ وَیُخْزِهِمْ وَیَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَیْهِمْ وَیَشْفِ صُدُوْرَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Q̣aatiloohum yuʻaẓẓibhumul laahu biʹaydeekum wa-yukhzihim wa-yañṣurkum ʻalayhim wa-yashfi ṣudoora q̣awmim Muʹmineen.

˹So˺ fight them and Allah will punish them at your hands, put them to shame, help you overcome them, and soothe the hearts of the believers—

Verse 9:15

وَیُذْهِبْ غَیْظَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَیَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-yuẓhib g̣ayz̤̣a q̣uloobihim. Wa-yatoobul laahu ʻalaa mañy yashaaaʹ; wallaahu ʻAleemun Ḥakeem.

removing rage from their hearts. And Allah pardons whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 9:16

اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تُتْرَكُوْا وَلَمَّا یَعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ جٰهَدُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَلَمْ یَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا رَسُوْلِهٖ وَلَا الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَلِیْجَةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِیْرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۠

ʹAm ḥasibtum ʹañ tutrakoo wa-lammaa yaʻlamil laahul laẓeena jaahadoo miñkum wa-lam yattakhiẓoo miñ doonil laahi wa-laa Rasoolihee wa-lal Muʹmineena waleejah? Wallaahu khabeerum bimaa taʻmaloon.

Do you ˹believers˺ think that you will be left without Allah proving who among you ˹truly˺ struggles ˹in His cause˺ and never takes trusted allies other than Allah, His Messenger, or the believers? And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

Verse 9:17

مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ اَنْ یَّعْمُرُوْا مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ شٰهِدِیْنَ عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ ۖۚ وَفِی النَّارِ هُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟

Maa- kaana lil-Mushrikeena ʹañy yaʻmuroo masaajidal laahi shaahideena ʻalaaa ʹañfusihim̃ bilkufr. ʹUlaaaʹika ḥabiṭat ʹaʻmaaluhum wa-fin Naari hum khaalidoon.

It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah while they openly profess disbelief. Their deeds are void, and they will be in the Fire forever.

Verse 9:18

اِنَّمَا یَعْمُرُ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَی الزَّكٰوةَ وَلَمْ یَخْشَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَعَسٰۤی اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِیْنَ ۟

ʹInnamaa yaʻmuru masaajidal laahi man ʹaamana billaahi wal-Yawmil ʹAakhiri wa-ʹaq̣aamaṣ Ṣalaata wa-ʹaataz Zakaata wa-lam yakhsha ʹillal laah. Faʻasaaa ʹulaaaʹika ʹañy yakoonoo minal Muhtadeen.

The mosques of Allah should only be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and fear none but Allah. It is right to hope that they will be among the ˹truly˺ guided.

Verse 9:19

اَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَایَةَ الْحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَجٰهَدَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ لَا یَسْتَوٗنَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟ۘ

ʹAjaʻaltum siq̣aayatal Ḥaaajji wa-ʻimaaratal Masjidil Ḥaraami kaman ʹaamana billaahi wal-Yawmil ʹAakhiri wa-jaahada fee Sabeelil laah? Laa- yastawoona ʻiñdal laah: wallaahu laa- yahdil q̣awmaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

Do you ˹pagans˺ consider providing the pilgrims with water and maintaining the Sacred Mosque as equal to believing in Allah and the Last Day and struggling in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in Allah’s sight. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Verse 9:20

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجٰهَدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ۙ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفَآىِٕزُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-haajaroo wa-jaahadoo fee Sabeelil laahi biʹamwaalihim wa-ʹañfusihim ʹaʻz̤̣amu darajatan ʻiñdal laah: wa-ʹulaaaʹika humul faaaʹizoon.

Those who have believed, emigrated, and strived in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah. It is they who will triumph.

Verse 9:21

یُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَّجَنّٰتٍ لَّهُمْ فِیْهَا نَعِیْمٌ مُّقِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

Yubashshiruhum Rabbuhum̃ biraḥmatim minhu wa-riḍwaaniñw wa-Jannaatil lahum feehaa naʻeemum muq̣eem;

Their Lord gives them good news of His mercy, pleasure, and Gardens with everlasting bliss,

Verse 9:22

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗۤ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Khaalideena feehaaa ʹabadaa. ʹInnal laaha ʻiñdahooo ʹajrun ʻaz̤̣eem.

to stay there for ever and ever. Surely with Allah is a great reward.

Verse 9:23

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۤا اٰبَآءَكُمْ وَاِخْوَانَكُمْ اَوْلِیَآءَ اِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَی الْاِیْمَانِ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّتَوَلَّهُمْ مِّنْكُمْ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanoo laa- tattakhiẓooo ʹaabaaaʹakum wa-ʹikhwaanakum ʹawliyaaaʹa ʹinis taḥabbul kufra ʻalal ʹeemaan. Wa-mañy yatawal-lahum miñkum faʹulaaaʹika humuz̤̣ z̤̣aalimoon.

O believers! Do not take your parents and siblings as trusted allies if they choose disbelief over belief. And whoever of you does so, they are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.

Verse 9:24

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَاَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَاِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِیْرَتُكُمْ وَاَمْوَالُ قْتَرَفْتُمُوْهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسٰكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَاۤ اَحَبَّ اِلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَجِهَادٍ فِیْ سَبِیْلِهٖ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا حَتّٰی یَاْتِیَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ ۟۠

Q̣ul ʹiñ kaana ʹaabaaaʹukum wa-ʹabnaaaʹukum wa-ʹikhwaanukum wa-ʹazwaajukum wa-ʻasheeratukum wa-ʹamwaaluniq̣ taraftumoohaa wa-tijaaratuñ takhshawna kasaadahaa wa-masaakinu tarḍawnahaaa ʹaḥabba ʹilaykum minal laahi wa-Rasoolihee wa-Jihaadiñ fee Sabeelihee fatarabbaṣoo ḥattaa yaʹtiyallaahu bi ʹAmrih. Wallaahu laa- yahdil q̣awmal faasiq̣een.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If your parents and children and siblings and spouses and extended family and the wealth you have acquired and the trade you fear will decline and the homes you cherish—˹if all these˺ are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and struggling in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His Will. Allah does not guide the rebellious people.”

Verse 9:25

لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ مَوَاطِنَ كَثِیْرَةٍ ۙ وَّیَوْمَ حُنَیْنٍ ۙ اِذْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّضَاقَتْ عَلَیْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّیْتُمْ مُّدْبِرِیْنَ ۟ۚ

Laq̣ad naṣarakumul laahu fee mawaaṭina kas̤eeratiñw wayawma Ḥunaynin ʹiẓ ʹaʻjabatkum kas̤ratukum falam tug̣ni ʻañkum shayʹañw waḍaaq̣at ʻalaykumul ʹarḍu bimaa raḥubat s̤umma wallaytum mudbireen!

Indeed Allah has given you ˹believers˺ victory on many battlefields, even at the Battle of Ḥunain when you took pride in your great numbers, but they proved of no advantage to you. The earth, despite its vastness, seemed to close in on you, then you turned back in retreat.

Verse 9:26

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِیْنَتَهٗ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِهٖ وَعَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَاَنْزَلَ جُنُوْدًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ؕ وَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

S̤umma ʹañzalal laahu sakeenatahoo ʻalaa Rasoolihee wa-ʻalal Muʹmineena wa-ʹañzala junoodal lam tarawhaa: wa-ʻaẓẓabal laẓeena kafaroo. Wa-ẓaalika jazaaaʹul kaafireen.

Then Allah sent down His reassurance upon His Messenger and the believers, and sent down forces you could not see, and punished those who disbelieved. Such was the reward of the disbelievers.

Verse 9:27

ثُمَّ یَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

S̤umma yatoobul laahu mim baʻdi ẓaalika ʻalaa mañy yashaaaʹ: wallaahu G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

Then afterwards Allah will turn in grace to whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 9:28

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا یَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هٰذَا ۚ وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَیْلَةً فَسَوْفَ یُغْنِیْكُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۤ اِنْ شَآءَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹinnamal Mushrikoona najasuñ falaa yaq̣rabul Masjidal Ḥaraama baʻda ʻaamihim haaẓaa. Wa-ʹin khiftum ʻaylatañ fasawfa yug̣neekumul laahu miñ faḍliheee ʹiñ shaaaʹ. ʹInnal laaha ʻAleemun Ḥakeem.

O believers! Indeed, the polytheists are ˹spiritually˺ impure, so they should not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His bounty, if He wills. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 9:29

قَاتِلُوا الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا بِالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَلَا یُحَرِّمُوْنَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَلَا یَدِیْنُوْنَ دِیْنَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ حَتّٰی یُعْطُوا الْجِزْیَةَ عَنْ یَّدٍ وَّهُمْ صٰغِرُوْنَ ۟۠

Q̣aatilul laẓeena laa- yuʹminoona billaahi wa-laa bil-yawmil ʹAakhiri wa-laa yuḥarrimoona maa- ḥarramal laahu wa-Rasooluhoo wa-laa yadeenoona Deenal Ḥaq̣q̣i minal laẓeena ʹootul Kitaaba ḥattaa yuʻṭul Jizyata ʻañy yadiñw wahum ṣaag̣iroon.

Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the tax, willingly submitting, fully humbled.

Verse 9:30

وَقَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ عُزَیْرُ بْنُ اللّٰهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصٰرَی الْمَسِیْحُ ابْنُ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۚ یُضَاهِـُٔوْنَ قَوْلَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ قٰتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ؗۚ اَنّٰی یُؤْفَكُوْنَ ۟

Wa-q̣aalatil Yahoodu ʻUzayrunib nul laahi wa-q̣aalatin Naṣaaral Maseeḥub nul laah. Ẓaalika q̣awluhum̃ biʹafwaahihim. Yuḍaahiʹoona q̣awlal laẓeena kafaroo miñ q̣abl. Q̣aatalahumul laah; ʹannaa yuʹfakoon!

The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” while the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers. May Allah condemn them! How can they be deluded ˹from the truth˺?

Verse 9:31

اِتَّخَذُوْۤا اَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ اَرْبَابًا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَسِیْحَ ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ ۚ وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوْۤا اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًا ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ سُبْحٰنَهٗ عَمَّا یُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟

They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides Allah, even though they were commanded to worship none but One God. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. Glorified is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

Verse 9:32

یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یُّطْفِـُٔوْا نُوْرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَیَاْبَی اللّٰهُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّتِمَّ نُوْرَهٗ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

Yureedoona ʹañy yuṭfiʹoo Nooral laahi biʹafwaahihim wa-yaʹbal laahu ʹillaaa ʹañy yutimma Noorahoo wa-law karihal Kaafiroon.

They wish to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will only allow His light to be perfected, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.

Verse 9:33

هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰی وَدِیْنِ الْحَقِّ لِیُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَی الدِّیْنِ كُلِّهٖ ۙ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟

Huwal laẓeee ʹarsala Rasoolahoo bil-Hudaa wa-Deenil Ḥaq̣q̣i liyuz̤̣hirahoo ʻalad deeni kullihee wa-law karihal Mushrikoon.

He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.

Verse 9:34

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْاَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَیَاْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَیَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ یَكْنِزُوْنَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا یُنْفِقُوْنَهَا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۙ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟ۙ

O believers! Indeed, many rabbis and monks consume people’s wealth wrongfully and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah. Give good news of a painful torment to those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah’s cause.

Verse 9:35

یَّوْمَ یُحْمٰی عَلَیْهَا فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوٰی بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوْبُهُمْ وَظُهُوْرُهُمْ ؕ هٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُوْنَ ۟

The Day ˹will come˺ when their treasure will be heated up in the Fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs branded with it. ˹It will be said to them,˺ “This is the treasure you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste what you hoarded!”

Verse 9:36

اِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُوْرِ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِیْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ یَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ مِنْهَاۤ اَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الدِّیْنُ الْقَیِّمُ ۙ۬ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوْا فِیْهِنَّ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا یُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ كَآفَّةً ؕ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟

Indeed, the number of months ordained by Allah is twelve—in Allah’s Record since the day He created the heavens and the earth—of which four are sacred. That is the Right Way. So do not wrong one another during these months. And together fight the polytheists as they fight against you together. And know that Allah is with those mindful ˹of Him˺.

Verse 9:37

اِنَّمَا النَّسِیْٓءُ زِیَادَةٌ فِی الْكُفْرِ یُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُحِلُّوْنَهٗ عَامًا وَّیُحَرِّمُوْنَهٗ عَامًا لِّیُوَاطِـُٔوْا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ فَیُحِلُّوْا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ ؕ زُیِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ اَعْمَالِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟۠

Reallocating the sanctity of ˹these˺ months is an increase in disbelief, by which the disbelievers are led ˹far˺ astray. They adjust the sanctity one year and uphold it in another, only to maintain the number of months sanctified by Allah, violating the very months Allah has made sacred. Their evil deeds have been made appealing to them. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

Verse 9:38

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ ؕ اَرَضِیْتُمْ بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ۟

O believers! What is the matter with you that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling firmly to ˹your˺ land? Do you prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to that of the Hereafter.

Verse 9:39

اِلَّا تَنْفِرُوْا یُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا ۙ۬ وَّیَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْهُ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟

If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

Verse 9:40

اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّٰهُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثَانِیَ اثْنَیْنِ اِذْ هُمَا فِی الْغَارِ اِذْ یَقُوْلُ لِصَاحِبِهٖ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَنَا ۚ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِیْنَتَهٗ عَلَیْهِ وَاَیَّدَهٗ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰی ؕ وَكَلِمَةُ اللّٰهِ هِیَ الْعُلْیَا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

˹It does not matter˺ if you ˹believers˺ do not support him, for Allah did in fact support him when the disbelievers drove him out ˹of Mecca˺ and he was only one of two. While they both were in the cave, he reassured his companion, “Do not worry; Allah is certainly with us.” So Allah sent down His serenity upon the Prophet, supported him with forces you ˹believers˺ did not see, and made the word of the disbelievers lowest, while the Word of Allah is supreme. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 9:41

اِنْفِرُوْا خِفَافًا وَّثِقَالًا وَّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

˹O believers!˺ March forth whether it is easy or difficult for you, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if only you knew.

Verse 9:42

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِیْبًا وَّسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَلٰكِنْ بَعُدَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ ؕ وَسَیَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ ۚ یُهْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ۟۠

Had the gain been within reach and the journey shorter, they would have followed you, but the distance seemed too long for them. And they will swear by Allah, “Had we been able, we would have certainly joined you.” They are ruining themselves. And Allah knows that they are surely lying.

Verse 9:43

عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْكَ ۚ لِمَ اَذِنْتَ لَهُمْ حَتّٰی یَتَبَیَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَتَعْلَمَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ ۟

ʻAfal laahu ʻañka Lima ʹaẓiñta lahum ḥattaa yatabayyana lakal laẓeena ṣadaq̣oo wa-taʻlamal kaaẓibeen.

May Allah pardon you ˹O Prophet˺! Why did you give them permission ˹to stay behind˺ before those who told the truth were distinguished from those who were lying?

Verse 9:44

لَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ یُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟

Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask for exemption from striving with their wealth and their lives. And Allah has perfect knowledge of those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

Verse 9:45

اِنَّمَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَارْتَابَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِیْ رَیْبِهِمْ یَتَرَدَّدُوْنَ ۟

ʹInnamaa yastaʹẓinukal laẓeena laa- yuʹminoona billaahi wal-Yawmil ʹAakhiri wartaabat q̣uloobuhum fahum fee raybihim yataraddadoon.

No one would ask for exemption except those who have no faith in Allah or the Last Day, and whose hearts are in doubt, so they are torn by their doubts.

Verse 9:46

وَلَوْ اَرَادُوا الْخُرُوْجَ لَاَعَدُّوْا لَهٗ عُدَّةً وَّلٰكِنْ كَرِهَ اللّٰهُ انْۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِیْلَ اقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْقٰعِدِیْنَ ۟

Had they ˹really˺ intended to march forth, they would have made preparations for it. But Allah disliked that they should go, so He let them lag behind, and it was said ˹to them˺, “Stay with those ˹helpless˺ who remain behind.”

Verse 9:47

لَوْ خَرَجُوْا فِیْكُمْ مَّا زَادُوْكُمْ اِلَّا خَبَالًا وَّلَاۡاَوْضَعُوْا خِلٰلَكُمْ یَبْغُوْنَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَ ۚ وَفِیْكُمْ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لَهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Had they gone forth with you ˹believers˺, they would have been nothing but trouble for you, and would have scrambled around, seeking to spread discord in your midst. And some of you would have eagerly listened to them. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.

Verse 9:48

لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوْا لَكَ الْاُمُوْرَ حَتّٰی جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَهُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ ۟

Laq̣adib tag̣awul fitnata miñ q̣ablu wa-q̣allaboo lakal ʹumoora ḥattaa jaaaʹal Ḥaq̣q̣u waz̤̣ahara ʹAmrul laahi wa-hum kaarihoon.

They had already sought to spread discord before and devised every ˹possible˺ plot against you ˹O Prophet˺, until the truth came and Allah’s Will prevailed—much to their dismay.

Verse 9:49

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّقُوْلُ ائْذَنْ لِّیْ وَلَا تَفْتِنِّیْ ؕ اَلَا فِی الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوْا ؕ وَاِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِیْطَةٌ بِالْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Wa-minhum mañy yaq̣ooluʹ ẓal lee wa-laa taftinnee. ʹAlaa fil fitnati saq̣aṭoo? Wa-ʹinna Jahannama lamuḥeeṭatum bil-Kaafireen.

There are some of them who say, “Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.” They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers.

Verse 9:50

اِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِیْبَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا قَدْ اَخَذْنَاۤ اَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَیَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ فَرِحُوْنَ ۟

If a blessing befalls you ˹O Prophet˺, they grieve, but if a disaster befalls you, they say, “We took our precaution in advance,” and turn away, rejoicing.

Verse 9:51

قُلْ لَّنْ یُّصِیْبَنَاۤ اِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَنَا ۚ هُوَ مَوْلٰىنَا ۚ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Q̣ul lañy yuṣeebanaaa ʹillaa maa- katabal laahu lanaa Huwa Mawlaanaa: wa-ʻalal laahi fal-yatawakkalil Muʹminoon.

Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

Verse 9:52

قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُوْنَ بِنَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اِحْدَی الْحُسْنَیَیْنِ ؕ وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ اَنْ یُّصِیْبَكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِنْدِهٖۤ اَوْ بِاَیْدِیْنَا ۖؗ فَتَرَبَّصُوْۤا اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّتَرَبِّصُوْنَ ۟

Say, “Are you awaiting anything to befall us except one of the two best things: ˹victory or martyrdom˺? But We are awaiting Allah to afflict you with torment either from Him or at our hands. So keep waiting! We too are waiting with you.”

Verse 9:53

قُلْ اَنْفِقُوْا طَوْعًا اَوْ كَرْهًا لَّنْ یُّتَقَبَّلَ مِنْكُمْ ؕ اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا فٰسِقِیْنَ ۟

Q̣ul ʹañfiq̣oo ṭawʻan ʹaw karhal lañy yutaq̣abbala miñ-kum: ʹinnakum kuñtum q̣awmañ faasiq̣een.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹Whether you˺ donate willingly or unwillingly, it will never be accepted from you, for you have been a rebellious people.”

Verse 9:54

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ اَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقٰتُهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِرَسُوْلِهٖ وَلَا یَاْتُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ اِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالٰی وَلَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ اِلَّا وَهُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ ۟

And what prevented their donations from being accepted is that they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger, they never come to prayer except half-heartedly, and they never donate except resentfully.

Verse 9:55

فَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَاۤ اَوْلَادُهُمْ ؕ اِنَّمَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَتَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

So let neither their wealth nor children impress you ˹O Prophet˺. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this worldly life, then their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.

Verse 9:56

وَیَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ اِنَّهُمْ لَمِنْكُمْ ؕ وَمَا هُمْ مِّنْكُمْ وَلٰكِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ یَّفْرَقُوْنَ ۟

Wa-yaḥlifoona billaahi ʹinnahum lamiñkum; wa-maa hum miñkum wa-laakinnahum q̣awmuñy yafraq̣oon.

They swear by Allah that they are part of you, but they are not. They only say so out of fear.

Verse 9:57

لَوْ یَجِدُوْنَ مَلْجَاً اَوْ مَغٰرٰتٍ اَوْ مُدَّخَلًا لَّوَلَّوْا اِلَیْهِ وَهُمْ یَجْمَحُوْنَ ۟

Law yajidoona maljaʹan ʹaw mag̣aaraatin ʹaw muddakhalal lawallaw ʹilayhi wa-hum yajmaḥoon.

If only they could find a refuge, or a cave, or any hiding-place, they would rush headlong towards it.

Verse 9:58

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّلْمِزُكَ فِی الصَّدَقٰتِ ۚ فَاِنْ اُعْطُوْا مِنْهَا رَضُوْا وَاِنْ لَّمْ یُعْطَوْا مِنْهَاۤ اِذَا هُمْ یَسْخَطُوْنَ ۟

Wa-minhum mañy yalmizuka fiṣ ṣadaq̣aat: faʹin ʹuʻṭoo minhaa raḍoo wa-ʹil lam yuʻṭaw minhaaa ʹiẓaa hum yaskhaṭoon!

There are some of them who are critical of your distribution of alms ˹O Prophet˺. If they are given some of it they are pleased, but if not they are enraged.

Verse 9:59

وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ رَضُوْا مَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ۙ وَقَالُوْا حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ سَیُؤْتِیْنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَرَسُوْلُهٗۤ ۙ اِنَّاۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ رٰغِبُوْنَ ۟۠

If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger had given them and said, “Allah is sufficient for us! Allah will grant us out of His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah ˹alone˺ we turn with hope.”

Verse 9:60

اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَالْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَالْعٰمِلِیْنَ عَلَیْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَفِی الرِّقَابِ وَالْغٰرِمِیْنَ وَفِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِیْلِ ؕ فَرِیْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted ˹to the faith˺, for ˹freeing˺ slaves, for those in debt, for Allah’s cause, and for ˹needy˺ travellers. ˹This is˺ an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 9:61

وَمِنْهُمُ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْذُوْنَ النَّبِیَّ وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ هُوَ اُذُنٌ ؕ قُلْ اُذُنُ خَیْرٍ لَّكُمْ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَیُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ یُؤْذُوْنَ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

And there are others who hurt the Prophet by saying, “He listens to anyone.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He listens to what is best for you. He believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy for those who believe among you.” Those who hurt Allah’s Messenger will suffer a painful punishment.

Verse 9:62

یَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ لِیُرْضُوْكُمْ ۚ وَاللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗۤ اَحَقُّ اَنْ یُّرْضُوْهُ اِنْ كَانُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Yaḥlifoona billaahi lakum liyurḍookum: wallaahu wa-Rasooluhooo ʹaḥaq̣q̣u ʹañy yurzoohu ʹiñ kaanoo Muʹmineen.

They swear by Allah to you ˹believers˺ in order to please you, while it is the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger they should seek, if they are ˹true˺ believers.

Verse 9:63

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّهٗ مَنْ یُّحَادِدِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَاَنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِیْهَا ؕ ذٰلِكَ الْخِزْیُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟

ʹAlam yaʻlamooo ʹannahoo mañy yuḥaadidil laaha wa-Rasoolahoo faʹanna lahoo naara Jahannama khaalidañ feehaa. Ẓaalikal khizyul ʻaz̤̣eem.

Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger will be in the Fire of Hell forever? That is the ultimate disgrace.

Verse 9:64

یَحْذَرُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ عَلَیْهِمْ سُوْرَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ قُلِ اسْتَهْزِءُوْا ۚ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُوْنَ ۟

The hypocrites fear that a sûrah should be revealed about them, exposing what is in their hearts. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Keep mocking! Allah will definitely bring to light what you fear.”

Verse 9:65

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوْضُ وَنَلْعَبُ ؕ قُلْ اَبِاللّٰهِ وَاٰیٰتِهٖ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۟

If you question them, they will certainly say, “We were only talking idly and joking around.” Say, “Was it Allah, His revelations, and His Messenger that you ridiculed?”

Verse 9:66

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوْا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِكُمْ ؕ اِنْ نَّعْفُ عَنْ طَآىِٕفَةٍ مِّنْكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآىِٕفَةًۢ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟۠

Make no excuses! You have lost faith after your belief. If We pardon a group of you, We will punish others for their wickedness.

Verse 9:67

اَلْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْضٍ ۘ یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَیَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوْفِ وَیَقْبِضُوْنَ اَیْدِیَهُمْ ؕ نَسُوا اللّٰهَ فَنَسِیَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ ۟

The hypocrites, both men and women, are all alike: they encourage what is evil, forbid what is good, and withhold ˹what is in˺ their hands. They neglected Allah, so He neglected them. Surely the hypocrites are the rebellious.

Verse 9:68

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ هِیَ حَسْبُهُمْ ۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

Waʻadal laahul Munaafiq̣eena wal-Munaafiq̣aati wal-Kuffaara naara Jahannama khaalideena feehaa. Hiya ḥasbuhum: wa-laʻanahumul laah, wa-lahum ʻaẓaabum muq̣eem.

Allah has promised the hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers an everlasting stay in the Fire of Hell—it is sufficient for them. Allah has condemned them, and they will suffer a never-ending punishment.

Verse 9:69

كَالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوْۤا اَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّةً وَّاَكْثَرَ اَمْوَالًا وَّاَوْلَادًا ؕ فَاسْتَمْتَعُوْا بِخَلَاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلَاقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِیْ خَاضُوْا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ۟

˹You hypocrites are˺ like those ˹disbelievers˺ before you. They were far superior to you in might and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their share in this life. You have enjoyed your share, just as they did. And you have engaged in idle talk, just as they did. Their deeds have become void in this world and the Hereafter. And it is they who are the ˹true˺ losers.

Verse 9:70

اَلَمْ یَاْتِهِمْ نَبَاُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٍ وَّثَمُوْدَ ۙ۬ وَقَوْمِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَاَصْحٰبِ مَدْیَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكٰتِ ؕ اَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ ۚ فَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ ۟

Have they not received the stories of those ˹destroyed˺ before them: the people of Noah, ’Âd, and Thamûd, the people of Abraham, the residents of Midian, and the overturned cities ˹of Lot˺? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. Allah would have never wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves.

Verse 9:71

وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۘ یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَیَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَیُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَیُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَیُطِیْعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ سَیَرْحَمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

The believers, both men and women, are guardians of one another. They encourage good and forbid evil, establish prayer and pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. It is they who will be shown Allah’s mercy. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 9:72

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا وَمَسٰكِنَ طَیِّبَةً فِیْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنٍ ؕ وَرِضْوَانٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟۠

Allah has promised the believers, both men and women, Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever, and splendid homes in the Gardens of Eternity, and—above all—the pleasure of Allah. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.

Verse 9:73

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَمَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhan Nabiyyu jaahidil kuffaara wal-Munaafiq̣eena wag̣luz̤̣ ʻalayhim. Wa-maʹwaahum Jahannam: wa-biʹsal maṣeer.

O Prophet! Struggle against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be firm with them. Hell will be their home. What an evil destination!

Verse 9:74

یَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ مَا قَالُوْا ؕ وَلَقَدْ قَالُوْا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوْا بَعْدَ اِسْلَامِهِمْ وَهَمُّوْا بِمَا لَمْ یَنَالُوْا ۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ اَغْنٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۚ فَاِنْ یَّتُوْبُوْا یَكُ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّتَوَلَّوْا یُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّٰهُ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا ۙ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا نَصِیْرٍ ۟

They swear by Allah that they never said anything ˹blasphemous˺, while they did in fact utter a blasphemy, lost faith after accepting Islam, and plotted what they could not carry out. It is only through resentment that they pay Allah and His Messenger back for enriching them out of His bounty! If they repent, it will be better for them. But if they turn away, Allah will torment them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no one on earth to protect or help them.

Verse 9:75

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ عٰهَدَ اللّٰهَ لَىِٕنْ اٰتٰىنَا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ ۟

Wa-minhum man ʻaahadal laaha laʹin ʹaataanaa miñ faḍlihee lanaṣṣaddaq̣anna wa-lanakoonanna minaṣ Ṣaaliḥeen.

And there are some who had made a vow to Allah: “If He gives us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity and be of the righteous.”

Verse 9:76

فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ بَخِلُوْا بِهٖ وَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۟

Falammaaa ʹaataahum miñ faḍlihee bakhiloo bihee wa-tawallaw wahum muʻriḍoon.

But when He gave them out of His bounty, they withheld it and turned away indifferently.

Verse 9:77

فَاَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلٰی یَوْمِ یَلْقَوْنَهٗ بِمَاۤ اَخْلَفُوا اللّٰهَ مَا وَعَدُوْهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْذِبُوْنَ ۟

Faʹaʻq̣abahum nifaaq̣añ fee q̣uloobihim ʹilaa yawmi yalq̣awnahoo bimaaa ʹakhlaful laaha maa- waʻadoohu wa-bimaa kaanoo yakẓiboon.

So He caused hypocrisy to plague their hearts until the Day they will meet Him, for breaking their promise to Allah and for their lies.

Verse 9:78

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوٰىهُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُیُوْبِ ۟ۚ

ʹAlam yaʻlamooo ʹannal laaha yaʻlamu sirrahum wa-najwaahum wa-ʹannal laaha ʻAllaamul g̣uyoob.

Do they not know that Allah ˹fully˺ knows their ˹evil˺ thoughts and secret talks, and that Allah is the Knower of all unseen?

Verse 9:79

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَلْمِزُوْنَ الْمُطَّوِّعِیْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ فِی الصَّدَقٰتِ وَالَّذِیْنَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ اِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَیَسْخَرُوْنَ مِنْهُمْ ؕ سَخِرَ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُمْ ؗ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

˹There are˺ those who slander ˹some of˺ the believers for donating liberally and mock others for giving only the little they can afford. Allah will throw their mockery back at them, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

Verse 9:80

اِسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ اَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ ؕ اِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِیْنَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ ۟۠

˹It does not matter˺ whether you ˹O Prophet˺ pray for them to be forgiven or not. Even if you pray for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. That is because they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger. And Allah does not guide the rebellious people.

Verse 9:81

فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُوْنَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلٰفَ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ وَكَرِهُوْۤا اَنْ یُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَالُوْا لَا تَنْفِرُوْا فِی الْحَرِّ ؕ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ اَشَدُّ حَرًّا ؕ لَوْ كَانُوْا یَفْقَهُوْنَ ۟

Those ˹hypocrites˺ who remained behind rejoiced for doing so in defiance of the Messenger of Allah and hated ˹the prospect of˺ striving with their wealth and their lives in the cause of Allah. They said ˹to one another˺, “Do not march forth in the heat.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “The Fire of Hell is far hotter!” If only they could comprehend!

Verse 9:82

فَلْیَضْحَكُوْا قَلِیْلًا وَّلْیَبْكُوْا كَثِیْرًا ۚ جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ ۟

Falyaḍḥakoo q̣aleelañw walyabkoo kas̤eeraa: jazaaaʹam bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon.

So let them laugh a little—they will weep much as a reward for what they have committed.

Verse 9:83

فَاِنْ رَّجَعَكَ اللّٰهُ اِلٰی طَآىِٕفَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسْتَاْذَنُوْكَ لِلْخُرُوْجِ فَقُلْ لَّنْ تَخْرُجُوْا مَعِیَ اَبَدًا وَّلَنْ تُقَاتِلُوْا مَعِیَ عَدُوًّا ؕ اِنَّكُمْ رَضِیْتُمْ بِالْقُعُوْدِ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَاقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْخٰلِفِیْنَ ۟

If Allah returns you ˹O Prophet˺ to a group of them and they ask to go forth with you, say, “You will not ever go forth or fight an enemy along with me. You preferred to stay behind the first time, so stay with those ˹helpless˺ who remain behind.”

Verse 9:84

وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلٰۤی اَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ مَّاتَ اَبَدًا وَّلَا تَقُمْ عَلٰی قَبْرِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَمَاتُوْا وَهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ ۟

And do not ever offer ˹funeral˺ prayers for any of their dead, nor stand by their grave ˹at burial˺, for they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger and died rebellious.

Verse 9:85

وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَاَوْلَادُهُمْ ؕ اِنَّمَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَتَزْهَقَ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

And let neither their wealth nor children impress you ˹O Prophet˺. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this world, and ˹then˺ their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.

Verse 9:86

وَاِذَاۤ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ اَنْ اٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَجَاهِدُوْا مَعَ رَسُوْلِهِ اسْتَاْذَنَكَ اُولُوا الطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالُوْا ذَرْنَا نَكُنْ مَّعَ الْقٰعِدِیْنَ ۟

Whenever a sûrah is revealed stating, “Believe in Allah and struggle along with His Messenger,” the rich among them would ask to be exempt, saying, “Leave us with those who remain behind.”

Verse 9:87

رَضُوْا بِاَنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَفْقَهُوْنَ ۟

Raḍoo biʹañy yakoonoo maʻal khawaalifi waṭubiʻa ʻalaa q̣uloobihim fahum laa- yafq̣ahoon.

They preferred to stay behind with the helpless, and their hearts have been sealed so they do not comprehend.

Verse 9:88

لٰكِنِ الرَّسُوْلُ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ جٰهَدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمُ الْخَیْرٰتُ ؗ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟

But the Messenger and the believers with him strived with their wealth and their lives. They will have all the best, and it is they who will be successful.

Verse 9:89

اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟۠

ʹAʻaddal laahu Lahum Jannaatiñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaaru khaalideena feehaa: ẓaalikal fawzul ʻaz̤̣eem.

Allah has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. That is the ultimate triumph.

Verse 9:90

وَجَآءَ الْمُعَذِّرُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ لِیُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَبُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ؕ سَیُصِیْبُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

Some nomadic Arabs ˹also˺ came with excuses, seeking exemption. And those who were untrue to Allah and His Messenger remained behind ˹with no excuse˺. The unfaithful among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment.

Verse 9:91

لَیْسَ عَلَی الضُّعَفَآءِ وَلَا عَلَی الْمَرْضٰی وَلَا عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَجِدُوْنَ مَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ حَرَجٌ اِذَا نَصَحُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ ؕ مَا عَلَی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ مِنْ سَبِیْلٍ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

There is no blame on the weak, the sick, or those lacking the means ˹if they stay behind˺, as long as they are true to Allah and His Messenger. There is no blame on the good-doers. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 9:92

وَّلَا عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا مَاۤ اَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَاۤ اَجِدُ مَاۤ اَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ ۪ تَوَلَّوْا وَّاَعْیُنُهُمْ تَفِیْضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا اَلَّا یَجِدُوْا مَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Nor ˹is there any blame on˺ those who came to you ˹O Prophet˺ for mounts, then when you said, “I can find no mounts for you,” they left with eyes overflowing with tears out of grief that they had nothing to contribute.

Verse 9:93

اِنَّمَا السَّبِیْلُ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَاْذِنُوْنَكَ وَهُمْ اَغْنِیَآءُ ۚ رَضُوْا بِاَنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ ۙ وَطَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Blame is only on those who seek exemption from you although they have the means. They preferred to stay behind with the helpless, and Allah has sealed their hearts so they do not realize ˹the consequences˺.

Verse 9:94

یَعْتَذِرُوْنَ اِلَیْكُمْ اِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ اِلَیْهِمْ ؕ قُلْ لَّا تَعْتَذِرُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّاَنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْ اَخْبَارِكُمْ ؕ وَسَیَرَی اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عٰلِمِ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

They will make excuses to you ˹believers˺ when you return to them. Say, “Make no excuses, ˹for˺ we will not believe you. Allah has already informed us about your ˹true˺ state ˹of faith˺. Your ˹future˺ deeds will be observed by Allah and His Messenger as well. And you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, then He will inform you of what you used to do.”

Verse 9:95

سَیَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ اِلَیْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمْ ؕ فَاَعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ ؗ وَّمَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ ۟

When you return, they will swear to you by Allah so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone—they are truly evil. Hell will be their home as a reward for what they have committed.

Verse 9:96

یَحْلِفُوْنَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ ۚ فَاِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَرْضٰی عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ ۟

Yaḥlifoona lakum litarḍaw ʻanhum. Faʹiñ tarḍaw ʻanhum faʹinnal laaha laa- yarḍaa ʻanil q̣awmil faasiq̣een.

They will swear to you in order to please you. And even if you are pleased with them, Allah will never be pleased with the rebellious people.

Verse 9:97

اَلْاَعْرَابُ اَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَّنِفَاقًا وَّاَجْدَرُ اَلَّا یَعْلَمُوْا حُدُوْدَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

The nomadic Arabs ˹around Medina˺ are far worse in disbelief and hypocrisy, and less likely to know the laws revealed by Allah to His Messenger. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 9:98

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ یَّتَّخِذُ مَا یُنْفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَّیَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَآىِٕرَ ؕ عَلَیْهِمْ دَآىِٕرَةُ السَّوْءِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

And among the nomads are those who consider what they donate to be a loss and await your misfortune. May ill-fortune befall them! And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 9:99

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ یُّؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَیَتَّخِذُ مَا یُنْفِقُ قُرُبٰتٍ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَوٰتِ الرَّسُوْلِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌ لَّهُمْ ؕ سَیُدْخِلُهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟۠

Wa-minal ʹAʻraabi mañy yuʹminu billaahi wal-Yawmil ʹAakhiri Wayattakhiẓu maa- yuñfiq̣u q̣urubaatin ʻiñdal laahi wa-Ṣalawaatir Rasool. ʹAlaaa ʹinnahaa q̣urbatul lahum: Sayudkhiluhumul laahu fee Raḥmatih: ʹinnal laaha G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

However, among the nomadic Arabs are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and consider what they donate as a means of coming closer to Allah and ˹receiving˺ the prayers of the Messenger. It will certainly bring them closer. Allah will admit them into His mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 9:100

وَالسّٰبِقُوْنَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُهٰجِرِیْنَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُمْ بِاِحْسَانٍ ۙ رَّضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ تَحْتَهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟

As for the foremost—the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers—and those who follow them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. And He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. That is the ultimate triumph.

Verse 9:101

وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مُنٰفِقُوْنَ ۛؕ وَمِنْ اَهْلِ الْمَدِیْنَةِ ؔۛ۫ مَرَدُوْا عَلَی النِّفَاقِ ۫ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَّرَّتَیْنِ ثُمَّ یُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عَذَابٍ عَظِیْمٍ ۟ۚ

Some of the nomads around you ˹believers˺ are hypocrites, as are some of the people of Medina. They have mastered hypocrisy. They are not known to you ˹O Prophet˺; they are known to Us. We will punish them twice ˹in this world˺, then they will be brought back ˹to their Lord˺ for a tremendous punishment.

Verse 9:102

وَاٰخَرُوْنَ اعْتَرَفُوْا بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ خَلَطُوْا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّاٰخَرَ سَیِّئًا ؕ عَسَی اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّتُوْبَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Some others have confessed their wrongdoing: they have mixed goodness with evil. It is right to hope that Allah will turn to them in mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 9:103

خُذْ مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّیْهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ صَلٰوتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

Khuẓ min ʹamwaalihim ṣadaq̣atañ tuṭahhiruhum wa-tuzakkeehim̃ bihaa waṣalli ʻalayhim. ʹInna ṣalaataka sakanul lahum: wallaahu Sameeʻun ʻAleem.

Take from their wealth ˹O Prophet˺ charity to purify and bless them, and pray for them—surely your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 9:104

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ یَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَیَاْخُذُ الصَّدَقٰتِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟

Do they not know that Allah alone accepts the repentance of His servants and receives ˹their˺ charity, and that Allah alone is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful?

Verse 9:105

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوْا فَسَیَرَی اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ؕ وَسَتُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عٰلِمِ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟ۚ

Tell ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Do as you will. Your deeds will be observed by Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, then He will inform you of what you used to do.”

Verse 9:106

وَاٰخَرُوْنَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِاَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِمَّا یُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَاِمَّا یَتُوْبُ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-ʹaakharoona murjawna liʹamril laahi ʹimmaa yuʻaẓẓibuhum wa-ʹimmaa yatoobu ʻalayhim: wallaahu ʻAleemun Ḥakeem.

And some others are left for Allah’s decision, either to punish them or turn to them in mercy. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 9:107

وَالَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَّكُفْرًا وَّتَفْرِیْقًا بَیْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَاِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ وَلَیَحْلِفُنَّ اِنْ اَرَدْنَاۤ اِلَّا الْحُسْنٰی ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَشْهَدُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ۟

There are also those ˹hypocrites˺ who set up a mosque ˹only˺ to cause harm, promote disbelief, divide the believers, and as a base for those who had previously fought against Allah and His Messenger. They will definitely swear, “We intended nothing but good,” but Allah bears witness that they are surely liars.

Verse 9:108

لَا تَقُمْ فِیْهِ اَبَدًا ؕ لَمَسْجِدٌ اُسِّسَ عَلَی التَّقْوٰی مِنْ اَوَّلِ یَوْمٍ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ فِیْهِ ؕ فِیْهِ رِجَالٌ یُّحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یَّتَطَهَّرُوْا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِیْنَ ۟

Do not ˹O Prophet˺ ever pray in it. Certainly, a mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your prayers. In it are men who love to be purified. And Allah loves those who purify themselves.

Verse 9:109

اَفَمَنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْیَانَهٗ عَلٰی تَقْوٰی مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَیْرٌ اَمْ مَّنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْیَانَهٗ عَلٰی شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهٖ فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Which is better: those who laid the foundation of their building on the fear and pleasure of Allah, or those who did so on the edge of a crumbling cliff that tumbled down with them into the Fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Verse 9:110

لَا یَزَالُ بُنْیَانُهُمُ الَّذِیْ بَنَوْا رِیْبَةً فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟۠

Laa- yazaalu bunyaanuhumul laẓee banaw reebatañ fee q̣uloobihim ʹillaaa ʹañ taq̣aṭṭaʻa q̣uloobuhum. Wal-laahu ʻAleemun Ḥakeem.

The building which they erected will never cease to fuel hypocrisy in their hearts until their hearts are torn apart. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 9:111

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اشْتَرٰی مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَمْوَالَهُمْ بِاَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ؕ یُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَیَقْتُلُوْنَ وَیُقْتَلُوْنَ ۫ وَعْدًا عَلَیْهِ حَقًّا فِی التَّوْرٰىةِ وَالْاِنْجِیْلِ وَالْقُرْاٰنِ ؕ وَمَنْ اَوْفٰی بِعَهْدِهٖ مِنَ اللّٰهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوْا بِبَیْعِكُمُ الَّذِیْ بَایَعْتُمْ بِهٖ ؕ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟

Allah has indeed purchased from the believers their lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah and kill or are killed. This is a true promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And whose promise is truer than Allah’s? So rejoice in the exchange you have made with Him. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.

Verse 9:112

اَلتَّآىِٕبُوْنَ الْعٰبِدُوْنَ الْحٰمِدُوْنَ السَّآىِٕحُوْنَ الرّٰكِعُوْنَ السّٰجِدُوْنَ الْاٰمِرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَالنَّاهُوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَالْحٰفِظُوْنَ لِحُدُوْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

˹It is the believers˺ who repent, who are devoted to worship, who praise ˹their Lord˺, who fast, who bow down and prostrate themselves, who encourage good and forbid evil, and who observe the limits set by Allah. And give good news to the believers.

Verse 9:113

مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِیِّ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْ یَّسْتَغْفِرُوْا لِلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ وَلَوْ كَانُوْۤا اُولِیْ قُرْبٰی مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُمْ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ ۟

It is not ˹proper˺ for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were close relatives, after it has become clear to the believers that they are bound for the Hellfire.

Verse 9:114

وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لِاَبِیْهِ اِلَّا عَنْ مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَّعَدَهَاۤ اِیَّاهُ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَیَّنَ لَهٗۤ اَنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ لِّلّٰهِ تَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُ ؕ اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَاَوَّاهٌ حَلِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-maa kaanas tig̣faaru ʹIbraaheema liʹabeehi ʹillaa ʻam mawʻidatiñw waʻadahaaa ʹiyyaah. Falammaa tabayyana lahooo ʹannahoo ʻaduwwul lillaahi tabarraʹa minh: ʹinna ʹIbraaheema laʹawwaahun ḥaleem.

As for Abraham’s prayer for his father’s forgiveness, it was only in fulfilment of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to Abraham that his father was an enemy of Allah, he broke ties with him. Abraham was truly tender-hearted, forbearing.

Verse 9:115

وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُضِلَّ قَوْمًا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰىهُمْ حَتّٰی یُبَیِّنَ لَهُمْ مَّا یَتَّقُوْنَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-maa kaanal laahu liyuḍilla q̣awmam baʻda ʹiẓ hadaahum ḥattaa yubayyina lahum maa yattaq̣oon,― ʹinnal laaha bikulli shayʹin ʻAleem.

Allah would never consider a people deviant after He has guided them, until He makes clear to them what they must avoid. Surely Allah has ˹full˺ knowledge of everything.

Verse 9:116

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ یُحْیٖ وَیُمِیْتُ ؕ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا نَصِیْرٍ ۟

ʹInnal laaha lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍ. Yuḥyee wa-yumeet. Wa-maa lakum miñ doonil laahi miñw waliyyiñw walaa naṣeer.

Indeed, to Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. And besides Allah you have no guardian or helper.

Verse 9:117

لَقَدْ تَّابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ وَالْمُهٰجِرِیْنَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ فِیْ سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ یَزِیْغُ قُلُوْبُ فَرِیْقٍ مِّنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِهِمْ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

Laq̣at taabal laahu ʻalan Nabiyyi wal-Muhaajireena wal-ʹAñṣaaril laẓeenat tabaʻoohu fee saaʻatil ʻusrati mim baʻdi maa- kaada yazeeg̣u q̣uloobu fareeq̣im minhum s̤umma taaba ʻalayhim: ʹinnahoo bihim Raʹoofur Raḥeem.

Allah has certainly turned in mercy to the Prophet as well as the Emigrants and the Helpers who stood by him in the time of hardship, after the hearts of a group of them had almost faltered. He then accepted their repentance. Surely He is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to them.

Verse 9:118

وَّعَلَی الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذِیْنَ خُلِّفُوْا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوْۤا اَنْ لَّا مَلْجَاَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّاۤ اِلَیْهِ ؕ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَیْهِمْ لِیَتُوْبُوْا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟۠

Wa-ʻalas̤ s̤alaas̤atil laẓeena khullifoo: ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa ḍaaq̣at ʻalayhimul ʹarḍu bimaa raḥubat wa-ḍaaq̣at ʻalayhim ʹañfusuhum waz̤̣annooo ʹal laa maljaʹa minal laahi ʹillaaa ʹilayh. S̤umma taaba ʻalayhim liyatooboo: ʹinnal laaha Huwat Tawwaabur Raḥeem.

And ˹Allah has also turned in mercy to˺ the three who had remained behind, ˹whose guilt distressed them˺ until the earth, despite its vastness, seemed to close in on them, and their souls were torn in anguish. They knew there was no refuge from Allah except in Him. Then He turned to them in mercy so that they might repent. Surely Allah ˹alone˺ is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.

Verse 9:119

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanut taq̣ul laaha wa-koonoo maʻaṣ Ṣaadiq̣een.

O believers! Be mindful of Allah and be with the truthful.

Verse 9:120

مَا كَانَ لِاَهْلِ الْمَدِیْنَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ اَنْ یَّتَخَلَّفُوْا عَنْ رَّسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا یَرْغَبُوْا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ لَا یُصِیْبُهُمْ ظَمَاٌ وَّلَا نَصَبٌ وَّلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا یَطَـُٔوْنَ مَوْطِئًا یَّغِیْظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلَا یَنَالُوْنَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَّیْلًا اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ بِهٖ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟ۙ

It was not ˹proper˺ for the people of Medina and the nomadic Arabs around them to avoid marching with the Messenger of Allah or to prefer their own lives above his. That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of Allah; or tread on a territory, unnerving the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.

Verse 9:121

وَلَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ نَفَقَةً صَغِیْرَةً وَّلَا كَبِیْرَةً وَّلَا یَقْطَعُوْنَ وَادِیًا اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ لِیَجْزِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ اَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

And whenever they make a donation, small or large, or cross a valley ˹in Allah’s cause˺—it is written to their credit, so that Allah may grant them the best reward for what they used to do.

Verse 9:122

وَمَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ لِیَنْفِرُوْا كَآفَّةً ؕ فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَآىِٕفَةٌ لِّیَتَفَقَّهُوْا فِی الدِّیْنِ وَلِیُنْذِرُوْا قَوْمَهُمْ اِذَا رَجَعُوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَحْذَرُوْنَ ۟۠

˹However,˺ it is not necessary for the believers to march forth all at once. Only a party from each group should march forth, leaving the rest to gain religious knowledge then enlighten their people when they return to them, so that they ˹too˺ may beware ˹of evil˺.

Verse 9:123

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قَاتِلُوا الَّذِیْنَ یَلُوْنَكُمْ مِّنَ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْیَجِدُوْا فِیْكُمْ غِلْظَةً ؕ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟

O believers! Fight the disbelievers around you and let them find firmness in you. And know that Allah is with those mindful ˹of Him˺.

Verse 9:124

وَاِذَا مَاۤ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّقُوْلُ اَیُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هٰذِهٖۤ اِیْمَانًا ۚ فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فَزَادَتْهُمْ اِیْمَانًا وَّهُمْ یَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaa maaa uñzilat sooratuñ faminhum mañy yaq̣oolu ʹayyukum zaadathu haaẓiheee ʹeemaanaa? Faʹammal laẓeena ʹaamanoo fazaadathum ʹeemaanañw wahum yastabshiroon.

Whenever a sûrah is revealed, some of them ask ˹mockingly˺, “Which of you has this increased in faith?” As for the believers, it has increased them in faith and they rejoice.

Verse 9:125

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا اِلٰی رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوْا وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹammal laẓeena fee q̣uloobihim maraḍuñ fazaadathum rijsan ʹilaa rijsihim wa-maatoo wa-hum kaafiroon.

But as for those with sickness in their hearts, it has increased them only in wickedness upon their wickedness, and they die as disbelievers.

Verse 9:126

اَوَلَا یَرَوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ یُفْتَنُوْنَ فِیْ كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً اَوْ مَرَّتَیْنِ ثُمَّ لَا یَتُوْبُوْنَ وَلَا هُمْ یَذَّكَّرُوْنَ ۟

ʹAwalaa yarawna ʹannahum yuftanoona fee kulli ʻaamim marratan ʹaw marratayni s̤umma laa- yatooboona wa-laa hum yaẓẓakkaroon.

Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they neither repent nor do they learn a lesson.

Verse 9:127

وَاِذَا مَاۤ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰی بَعْضٍ ؕ هَلْ یَرٰىكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوْا ؕ صَرَفَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوْبَهُمْ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا یَفْقَهُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaa maaa ʹuñzilat sooratun naz̤̣ara baʻḍuhum ʹilaa baʻḍ: hal yaraakum min ʹaḥadiñ s̤ummañ ṣarafoo: ṣarafal laahu q̣uloobahum̃ biʹannahum q̣awmul laa yafq̣ahoon.

Whenever a sûrah is revealed, they look at one another, ˹saying,˺ “Is anyone watching you?” Then they slip away. ˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ has turned their hearts away because they are a people who do not comprehend.

Verse 9:128

لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِیْزٌ عَلَیْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِیْصٌ عَلَیْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Laq̣ad jaaaʹakum Rasoolum min ʹañfusikum ʻazeezun ʻalayhi maa- ʻanittum ḥareeṣun ʻalaykum̃ bil-Muʹmineena raʹoofur raḥeem.

There certainly has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. He is concerned by your suffering, anxious for your well-being, and gracious and merciful to the believers.

Verse 9:129

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِیَ اللّٰهُ ۖۗؗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیْمِ ۟۠

Faʹiñ tawallaw faq̣ul Ḥasbiyal laahu Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Hoo: ʻalayhi tawakkaltu wa-Huwa Rabbul ʻArshil ʻAz̤̣eem!

But if they turn away, then say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust. And He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”
