Surah Muhammad

Verse 47:1

اَلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena kafaroo wa-ṣaddoo ʻañ Sabeelil laahi ʹaḍalla ʹaʻmaalahum.

Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, He will render their deeds void.

Verse 47:2

وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاٰمَنُوْا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّهُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَاَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ ۟

Wallaẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati wa-ʹaamanoo bimaa nuzzila ʻalaa MUḤAMMADIÑ-W Wahuwal Ḥaq̣q̣u mir Rabbihim kaffara ʻanhum sayyiʹaatihim wa-ʹaṣlaḥa baalahum.

As for those who believe, do good, and have faith in what has been revealed to Muḥammad—which is the truth from their Lord—He will absolve them of their sins and improve their condition.

Verse 47:3

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَاَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ اَمْثَالَهُمْ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannal laẓeena kafarut tabaʻul baaṭila wa-ʹannal laẓeena ʹaamanut tabaʻul Ḥaq̣q̣a mir Rabbihim: kaẓaalika yaḍribul laahu linnaasi ʹams̤aalahum.

This is because the disbelievers follow falsehood, while the believers follow the truth from their Lord. This is how Allah shows people their true state ˹of faith˺.

Verse 47:4

فَاِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَثْخَنْتُمُوْهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَ ۙۗ فَاِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَاِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتّٰی تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ اَوْزَارَهَا ذٰؔلِكَ ۛؕ وَلَوْ یَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ لَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ ۙ وَلٰكِنْ لِّیَبْلُوَاۡ بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ قُتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَنْ یُّضِلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۟

Faʹiẓaa laq̣eetumul laẓeena kafaroo faḍarbar riq̣aab; ḥattaaa ʹiẓaaa ʹas̤khañtumoohum fashuddul was̤aaq̣a faʹimmaa mannam baʻdu wa-ʹimmaa fidaaaʹan ḥattaa taḍaʻal ḥarbu ʹawzaarahaa. Ẓaalika wa-law yashaaaʹul laahu lañtaṣara minhum wa-laakil liyabluwa baʻḍakum̃ bibaʻḍ. Wallaẓeena q̣utiloo fee Sabeelil laahi falañy yuḍilla ʹaʻmaalahum.

So when you meet the disbelievers ˹in battle˺, strike ˹their˺ necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly. Later ˹free them either as˺ an act of grace or by ransom until the war comes to an end. So will it be. Had Allah willed, He ˹Himself˺ could have inflicted punishment on them. But He does ˹this only to˺ test some of you by means of others. And those who are martyred in the cause of Allah, He will never render their deeds void.

Verse 47:5

سَیَهْدِیْهِمْ وَیُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْ ۟ۚ

Sayahdeehim wa-yuṣliḥu baalahum,―

He will guide them ˹to their reward˺, improve their condition,

Verse 47:6

وَیُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ ۟

Wayudkhiluhumul Jannata ʻarrafahaa lahum.

and admit them into Paradise, having made it known to them.

Verse 47:7

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللّٰهَ یَنْصُرْكُمْ وَیُثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَكُمْ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹiñ tañṣurul laaha yañṣurkum wa-yus̤abbit ʹaq̣daamakum.

O believers! If you stand up for Allah, He will help you and make your steps firm.

Verse 47:8

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَتَعْسًا لَّهُمْ وَاَضَلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۟

Wallaẓeena kafaroo fataʻsal lahum wa-ʹaḍalla ʹaʻmaalahum.

As for the disbelievers, may they be doomed and may He render their deeds void.

Verse 47:9

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوْا مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannahum karihoo maaa ʹañzalal laahu faʹaḥbaṭa ʹaʻmaalahum.

That is because they detest what Allah has revealed, so He has rendered their deeds void.

Verse 47:10

اَفَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَیَنْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ دَمَّرَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ ؗ وَلِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ اَمْثَالُهَا ۟

ʹAfalam yaseeroo fil ʹarḍi fayañz̤̣uroo kayfa kaana ʻAaq̣ibatul laẓeena miñ q̣ablihim? Dammaral laahu ʻalayhim, wa-lilkaafireena ʹams̤aaluhaa.

Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those before them? Allah annihilated them, and a similar fate awaits the disbelievers.

Verse 47:11

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلَی الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَاَنَّ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ لَا مَوْلٰی لَهُمْ ۟۠

Ẓaalika biʹannal laaha Mawlal laẓeena ʹaamanoo waʹannal kaafireena laa- mawlaa lahum.

This is because Allah is the Patron of the believers while the disbelievers have no patron.

Verse 47:12

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُدْخِلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَتَمَتَّعُوْنَ وَیَاْكُلُوْنَ كَمَا تَاْكُلُ الْاَنْعَامُ وَالنَّارُ مَثْوًی لَّهُمْ ۟

ʹInnal laaha yudkhilul laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati Jannaatiñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaar; wallaẓeena kafaroo yatamattaʻoona wa-yaʹkuloona kamaa taʹkulul ʹanʻaamu wan-Naaru mas̤wal lahum.

Surely Allah will admit those who believe and do good into Gardens under which rivers flow. As for the disbelievers, they enjoy themselves and feed like cattle. But the Fire will be their home.

Verse 47:13

وَكَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ هِیَ اَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِّنْ قَرْیَتِكَ الَّتِیْۤ اَخْرَجَتْكَ ۚ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ ۟

Wa-kaʹayyim miñ q̣aryatin hiya ʹashaddu q̣uwwatam miñ q̣aryatikal lateee ʹakhrajatka: ʹAhlaknaahum falaa naaṣira lahum.

˹Imagine, O Prophet,˺ how many societies We destroyed that were far superior in might than your society—which drove you out—and there was none to help them!

Verse 47:14

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰی بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ كَمَنْ زُیِّنَ لَهٗ سُوْٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۟

ʹAfamañ kaana ʻalaa Bayyinatim mir Rabbihee kamañ zuyyina lahoo soooʹu ʻamalihee wattabaʻooo ʹahwaaaʹahum?

Can those ˹believers˺ who stand on clear proof from their Lord be like those whose evil deeds are made appealing to them and ˹only˺ follow their desires?

Verse 47:15

مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ ؕ فِیْهَاۤ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ مَّآءٍ غَیْرِ اٰسِنٍ ۚ وَاَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ یَتَغَیَّرْ طَعْمُهٗ ۚ وَاَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ ۚ۬ وَاَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ عَسَلٍ مُّصَفًّی ؕ وَلَهُمْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ ؕ كَمَنْ هُوَ خَالِدٌ فِی النَّارِ وَسُقُوْا مَآءً حَمِیْمًا فَقَطَّعَ اَمْعَآءَهُمْ ۟

Mas̤alul Jannatil latee wuʻidal Muttaq̣oon: feehaaa ʹanhaarum mim maaaʹin g̣ayri ʹaasin; wa-ʹanhaarum mil labanil lam yatag̣ayyar ṭaʻmuh; wa-ʹanhaarum min khamril laẓẓatil lishshaaribeen; wa-ʹanhaarum min ʻasalim muṣaffaa. Wa-lahum feehaa miñ kullis̤ s̤amaraati wa-mag̣firatum mir Rabbihim: Kaman huwa khaaliduñ fin Naari wa-suq̣oo maaaʹan ḥameemañ faq̣aṭṭaʹa ʹamʻaaaʹahum?

The description of the Paradise promised to the righteous is that in it are rivers of fresh water, rivers of milk that never changes in taste, rivers of wine delicious to drink, and rivers of pure honey. There they will ˹also˺ have all kinds of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. ˹Can they be˺ like those who will stay in the Fire forever, left to drink boiling water that will tear apart their insides?

Verse 47:16

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّسْتَمِعُ اِلَیْكَ ۚ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا خَرَجُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ مَاذَا قَالَ اٰنِفًا ۫ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۟

Wa-minhum mañy yastamiʻu ʹilayka ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa kharajoo min ʻiñdika q̣aaloo lil-laẓeena ʹootul ʻIlma maaẓaa q̣aala ʹaanifaa? ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena ṭabaʻal laahu ʻalaa q̣uloobihim wattabaʻooo ʹahwaaaʹahum.

There are some of them who listen to you ˹O Prophet˺, but when they depart from you, they say ˹mockingly˺ to those ˹believers˺ gifted with knowledge, “What did he just say?” These are the ones whose hearts Allah has sealed and who ˹only˺ follow their desires.

Verse 47:17

وَالَّذِیْنَ اهْتَدَوْا زَادَهُمْ هُدًی وَّاٰتٰىهُمْ تَقْوٰىهُمْ ۟

Wallaẓeenah tadaw zaadahum hudañw waʹataahum taq̣waahum.

As for those who are ˹rightly˺ guided, He increases them in guidance and blesses them with righteousness.

Verse 47:18

فَهَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ بَغْتَةً ۚ فَقَدْ جَآءَ اَشْرَاطُهَا ۚ فَاَنّٰی لَهُمْ اِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرٰىهُمْ ۟

Fahal yañz̤̣uroona ʹillas Saaʻata ʹañ taʹtiyahum̃ bag̣tah? Faq̣ad jaaaʹa ʹashraaṭuhaa. Faʹannaa lahum ʹiẓaa jaaaʹathum ẓikraahum?

Are they only waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise? Yet ˹some of˺ its signs have already come. Once it actually befalls them, will it not be too late to be mindful?

Verse 47:19

فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْۢبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوٰىكُمْ ۟۠

Faʻlam ʹannahoo Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillal laahu wastag̣fir liẓambika wa-lil-Muʹmineena wal-Muʹminaat: wallaahu yaʻlamu mutaq̣allabakum wa-mas̤waakum.

So, know ˹well, O Prophet,˺ that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah. And seek forgiveness for your shortcomings and for ˹the sins of˺ the believing men and women. For Allah ˹fully˺ knows your movements and places of rest ˹O people˺.

Verse 47:20

وَیَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ ۚ فَاِذَاۤ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ مُّحْكَمَةٌ وَّذُكِرَ فِیْهَا الْقِتَالُ ۙ رَاَیْتَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ یَّنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ نَظَرَ الْمَغْشِیِّ عَلَیْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ ؕ فَاَوْلٰى لَهُمْ ۟ۚ

Wa-yaq̣oolul laẓeena ʹaamanoo Law-laa nuzzilat Soorah? Faʹiẓaaa ʹuñzilat Sooratum Muḥkamatuñw Waẓukira feehal q̣itaalu raʹaytal laẓeena fee q̣uloobihim maraḍuñy yañz̤̣uroona ʹilayka naz̤̣aral mag̣shiyyi ʻalayhi minal mawt. Faʹawlaa lahum!

And the believers say, “If only a sûrah was revealed ˹allowing self-defence˺!” Yet when a precise sûrah is revealed, in which fighting is ˹explicitly˺ mentioned, you see those with sickness in their hearts staring at you like someone in the throes of death. It would have been better for them

Verse 47:21

طَاعَةٌ وَّقَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوْفٌ ۫ فَاِذَا عَزَمَ الْاَمْرُ ۫ فَلَوْ صَدَقُوا اللّٰهَ لَكَانَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ ۟ۚ

Ṭaaʻatuñw Waq̣awlum maʻroof. Faʹiẓaa ʻazamal ʹamr. Falaw ṣadaq̣ul laaha lakaana khayral lahum.

to obey and speak rightly. Then when fighting was ordained, it surely would have been better for them if they were true to Allah.

Verse 47:22

فَهَلْ عَسَیْتُمْ اِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ اَنْ تُفْسِدُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوْۤا اَرْحَامَكُمْ ۟

Fahal ʻasaytum ʹiñ tawallaytum ʹañ tufsidoo fil ʹarḍi wa-tuq̣aṭṭiʻooo ʹarḥaamakum?

Now if you ˹hypocrites˺ turn away, perhaps you would then spread corruption throughout the land and sever your ˹ties of˺ kinship!

Verse 47:23

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فَاَصَمَّهُمْ وَاَعْمٰۤی اَبْصَارَهُمْ ۟

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena laʻanahumul laahu faʹaṣammahum wa-ʹaʻmaaa ʹabṣaarahum.

These are the ones who Allah has condemned, deafening them and blinding their eyes.

Verse 47:24

اَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَ اَمْ عَلٰی قُلُوْبٍ اَقْفَالُهَا ۟

ʹAfalaa yatadabbaroonal Q̣ur-ʹaana ʹam ʻalaa q̣uloobin ʹaq̣faaluhaa?

Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Or are there locks upon their hearts?

Verse 47:25

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ ارْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۤی اَدْبَارِهِمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدَی ۙ الشَّیْطٰنُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْ ؕ وَاَمْلٰی لَهُمْ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeenar taddoo ʻalaaa ʹadbaarihim mim baʻdi maa- tabayyana lahumul Hudash Shayṭaanu sawwala lahum, wa-ʹamlaa lahum.

Indeed, those who relapse ˹into disbelief˺ after ˹true˺ guidance has become clear to them, ˹it is˺ Satan ˹that˺ has tempted them, luring them with false hopes.

Verse 47:26

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ كَرِهُوْا مَا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ سَنُطِیْعُكُمْ فِیْ بَعْضِ الْاَمْرِ ۖۚ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِسْرَارَهُمْ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannahum q̣aaloo lillaẓeena karihoo maa- nazzalal laahu sanuṭeeʻukum fee baʻḍil ʹamr; wallaahu yaʻlamu ʹisraarahum.

That is because they said ˹privately˺ to those who ˹also˺ detest what Allah has revealed, “We will obey you in some matters.” But Allah ˹fully˺ knows what they are hiding.

Verse 47:27

فَكَیْفَ اِذَا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ یَضْرِبُوْنَ وُجُوْهَهُمْ وَاَدْبَارَهُمْ ۟

Fakayfa ʹizaa tawaffathumul malaaaʹikatu yaḍriboona wujoohahum wa-ʹadbaa-rahum?

Then how ˹horrible˺ will it be when the angels take their souls, beating their faces and backs!

Verse 47:28

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعُوْا مَاۤ اَسْخَطَ اللّٰهَ وَكَرِهُوْا رِضْوَانَهٗ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۟۠

Ẓaalika biʹannahumut tabaʻoo maaa ʹaskhaṭal laaha wa-karihoo riḍwaanahoo faʹaḥbaṭa ʹaʻmaalahum.

This is because they follow whatever displeases Allah and hate whatever pleases Him, so He has rendered their deeds void.

Verse 47:29

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَنْ لَّنْ یُّخْرِجَ اللّٰهُ اَضْغَانَهُمْ ۟

ʹAm ḥasibal laẓeena fee q̣uloobihim maraḍun ʹal lañy yukhrijal laahu ʹaḍg̣aanahum?

Or do those with sickness in their hearts think that Allah will not ˹be able to˺ expose their malice?

Verse 47:30

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَاَرَیْنٰكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُمْ بِسِیْمٰهُمْ ؕ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِیْ لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اَعْمَالَكُمْ ۟

Wa-law nashaaaʹu laʹaraynaakahum falaʻaraftahum̃ biseemaahum: wa-lataʻrifan-nahum fee laḥnil q̣awl! Wallaahu yaʻlamu ʹaʻmaalakum.

Had We willed, We could have truly shown them to you ˹O Prophet˺, and you would have certainly recognized them by their appearance. But you will surely recognize them by their tone of speech. And Allah ˹fully˺ knows your doings ˹O people˺.

Verse 47:31

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتّٰی نَعْلَمَ الْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَالصّٰبِرِیْنَ ۙ وَنَبْلُوَاۡ اَخْبَارَكُمْ ۟

Wa-lanabluwannakum ḥattaa naʻlamal mujaahideena miñkum waṣṣaabireena wa-nabluwa ʹakhbaarakum.

We will certainly test you ˹believers˺ until We prove those of you who ˹truly˺ struggle ˹in Allah’s cause˺ and remain steadfast, and reveal how you conduct yourselves.

Verse 47:32

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَشَآقُّوا الرَّسُوْلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدٰی ۙ لَنْ یَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَسَیُحْبِطُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena kafaroo wa-ṣaddoo ʻañ Sabeelil laahi wa-shaaaq̣q̣ur Rasoola mim baʻdi maa- tabayyana lahumul Hudaa lañy yaḍurrul laaha shayʹaa: wa-sa-yuḥbiṭu ʹaʻmaalahum.

Indeed, those who disbelieve, hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, and defy the Messenger after ˹true˺ guidance has become clear to them; they will not harm Allah in the least, but He will render their deeds void.

Verse 47:33

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَلَا تُبْطِلُوْۤا اَعْمَالَكُمْ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹaṭeeʻul laaha wa-ʹaṭeeʻur Rasoola wa-laa tubṭilooo ʹaʻmaalakum!

O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and do not let your deeds be in vain.

Verse 47:34

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوْا وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena kafaroo wa-ṣaddoo ʻañ Sabeelil laahi s̤umma maatoo wa-hum kuffaaruñ falañy yag̣firal laahu lahum.

Surely those who disbelieve, hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, and then die as disbelievers; Allah will never forgive them.

Verse 47:35

فَلَا تَهِنُوْا وَتَدْعُوْۤا اِلَی السَّلْمِ ۖۗ وَاَنْتُمُ الْاَعْلَوْنَ ۖۗ وَاللّٰهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَنْ یَّتِرَكُمْ اَعْمَالَكُمْ ۟

Falaa tahinoo wa-tadʻooo ʹilas salmi wa-ʹañtumul ʹaʻlawna wallaahu maʻakum wa-lañy yatirakum ʹaʻmaalakum.

So do not falter or cry for peace, for you will have the upper hand and Allah is with you. And He will never let your deeds go to waste.

Verse 47:36

اِنَّمَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا لَعِبٌ وَّلَهْوٌ ؕ وَاِنْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا یُؤْتِكُمْ اُجُوْرَكُمْ وَلَا یَسْـَٔلْكُمْ اَمْوَالَكُمْ ۟

ʹInnamal ḥayaatud dunyaa laʻibuñw walahw: wa-ʹiñ tuʹminoo wa-tattaq̣oo yuʹtikum ʹujoorakum wa-laa yasʹalkum ʹamwaalakum.

This worldly life is no more than play and amusement. But if you are faithful and mindful ˹of Allah˺, He will grant you your ˹full˺ reward, and will not ask you ˹to donate all˺ your wealth.

Verse 47:37

اِنْ یَّسْـَٔلْكُمُوْهَا فَیُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوْا وَیُخْرِجْ اَضْغَانَكُمْ ۟

ʹIñy yasʹalkumoohaa fayuḥfikum tabkhaloo wa-yukhrij ʹaḍg̣aanakum.

If He were to do so and pressure you, you would withhold and He would bring out your resentment.

Verse 47:38

هٰۤاَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنْفِقُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۚ فَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یَّبْخَلُ ۚ وَمَنْ یَّبْخَلْ فَاِنَّمَا یَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ الْغَنِیُّ وَاَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَآءُ ۚ وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا یَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا یَكُوْنُوْۤا اَمْثَالَكُمْ ۟۠

Here you are, being invited to donate ˹a little˺ in the cause of Allah. Still some of you withhold. And whoever does so, it is only to their own loss. For Allah is the Self-Sufficient, whereas you stand in need ˹of Him˺. If you ˹still˺ turn away, He will replace you with another people. And they will not be like you.
