بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
﴿۱﴾
Qarib: Those who disbelieve and bar from the way of Allah, Allah will cause their deeds go astray.
Sarwar: God has made devoid of all virtue the deeds of those who have disbelieved and prevented others from the way of God. Shakir: (As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way, He shall render their works ineffective Pickthall: Those who disbelieve and turn (men) from the way of Allah, He rendereth their actions vain. Yusufali: Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah,- their deeds will Allah render astray (from their mark).
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَآمَنُوا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ
﴿۲﴾
Qarib: As for the believers who do good works and believe in what is sent down to Muhammad which is the truth from their Lord He will acquit them of their sins and repair their condition.
Sarwar: God forgives the sins and reforms the hearts of the righteously striving believers who have faith in what is revealed to Muhammad - which is the Truth from his Lord. Shakir: And (as for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad, and it is the very truth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition Pickthall: And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state. Yusufali: But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and believe in the (Revelation) sent down to Muhammad - for it is the Truth from their Lord,- He will remove from them their ills and improve their condition.
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَأَنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ
﴿۳﴾
Qarib: This is because the unbelievers follow falsehood while the believers follow the truth from their Lord. As such Allah sets forth for people their examples.
Sarwar: This is because the disbelievers have followed falsehood and the believers have followed the Truth from their Lord. Thus God explains to the human being their own prospects. Shakir: That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and have given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers Pickthall: That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind. Yusufali: This because those who reject Allah follow vanities, while those who believe follow the Truth from their Lord: Thus does Allah set forth for men their lessons by similitudes.
فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَثْخَنْتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَاءً حَتَّى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا ذَلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ لَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَكِنْ لِيَبْلُوَ بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَالَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَنْ يُضِلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
﴿۴﴾
Qarib: Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers smite their necks, then, when you have killed many of them, tie the bonds. Then, either free them by grace or ransom until war shall lay down its loads, in this way, it shall be. Had Allah willed, He would have been victorious over them; except that He might test you, the one by the means of others. As for those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will not let their works to go astray.
Sarwar: If you encounter the disbelievers in a battle, strike-off their heads. Take them as captives when they are defeated. Then you may set them free as a favor to them, with or without a ransom, when the battle is over. This is the Law. Had God wanted, He could have granted them (unbelievers) victory, but He wants to test you through each other. The deeds of those who are killed for the cause of God will never be without virtuous results. Shakir: So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish Pickthall: Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain. Yusufali: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
سَيَهْدِيهِمْ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْ
﴿۵﴾
Qarib: He will guide them and repair their condition;
Sarwar: God will lead them to everlasting happiness and improve their condition. Shakir: He will guide them and improve their condition Pickthall: He will guide them and improve their state, Yusufali: Soon will He guide them and improve their condition,
وَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ
﴿۶﴾
Qarib: and He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them.
Sarwar: He will admit them into the Paradise which He has made known to them. Shakir: And cause them to enter the garden which He has made known to them Pickthall: And bring them in unto the Garden which He hath made known to them. Yusufali: And admit them to the Garden which He has announced for them.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ
﴿۷﴾
Qarib: Believers, if you help Allah, He will help you and strengthen your feet.
Sarwar: Believers, if you help God, He will help you and make you steadfast (in your faith). Shakir: O you who believe ! if you help (the cause of) Allah, He will help you and make firm your feet Pickthall: O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm. Yusufali: O ye who believe! If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَتَعْسًا لَهُمْ وَأَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
﴿۸﴾
Qarib: But the unbelievers shall be the destroyed losers. He will bring their deeds to nothing.
Sarwar: The fate of the disbelievers will be to stumble and their deeds will have no virtuous results; Shakir: And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is destruction and He has made their deeds ineffective Pickthall: And those who disbelieve, perdition is for them, and He will make their actions vain. Yusufali: But those who reject (Allah),- for them is destruction, and (Allah) will render their deeds astray (from their mark).
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
﴿۹﴾
Qarib: That is because they hated what Allah has sent down, so He annulled their deeds.
Sarwar: they have hated God's revelation, and thus, He has made their deeds devoid of all virtue. Shakir: That is because they hated what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds null Pickthall: That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath revealed, therefor maketh He their actions fruitless. Yusufali: That is because they hate the Revelation of Allah; so He has made their deeds fruitless.
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ دَمَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلِلْكَافِرِينَ أَمْثَالُهَا
﴿۱۰﴾
Qarib: Have they never journeyed through the land and seen what was the end of those who had gone before them? Allah destroyed them! Likewise it is for the unbelievers,
Sarwar: Have they not travelled through the land and seen the terrible end of those who lived before them? God brought upon them utter destruction and the disbelievers will also faced similar perdition. Shakir: Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them: Allah brought down destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it Pickthall: Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? Allah wiped them out. And for the disbelievers there will be the like thereof. Yusufali: Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them (who did evil)? Allah brought utter destruction on them, and similar (fates await) those who reject Allah. |
