1.Alif, Laam, Meem2.
2.There is no one to be worshipped except Allah. He (God) is Ever-living
3.,4.(O, Muhammad) He revealed this Book containing truth, to you. It confirms that which had gone before4. He revealed Tawrath and Injeel491 before it (Quran) in order to show the right way to the people. He also revealed the guidance which separates (the right from the wrong). Indeed, for those who disbelieve the verses (words of Allah) there is severe suffering. Allah is Mighty, Punishing26.
5. Indeed, nothing is hidden in the heaven507 and on the earth from Allah.
6. It is He who gives shape to you in the wombs, as He likes. No one is to be worshipped except Him. He (God) is Mighty, Wise.
7. (O Muhammad),it is He who revealed you this Book. There are confirmed verses in it. They are the Mother of this Book. There are also a few verses which give two meaning86. Those who have perversion in their minds, follow the verses which have two meanings, desiring discard and seeking interpretation in accordance with their want. Nobody can know its explanation except Allah and the scholars(well educated). They will say, “We believe in it; all have come from our God”. Except the people of understanding (others) do not think.
8. Our God, After showing us the right way do not make our minds deviate81. You grant your (God) blessings to us. Indeed, You (God) are the Bestower.
9. Our God, You will gather us on the Day1 about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allah does not break his promise.
10. Indeed, the (large number of) children and the wealth of those who disbelieved (only one God) cannot save them even to a smaller extent from Allah. They are the fuel for the hell.
11. (Their attitude) is just like the behaviour of Firaun and those who went before him. They considered our verses lie. Allah punished them because of their wrongs. Allah is severe in punishment.
12. Tell them, who disbelieve (only one God), “(You will be) defeated and will be taken to hell; that is a very bad place for rest.”
13. Indeed, you have sign in the meeting of two groups87 face to face. One group fought in the way of Allah. Disbelievers of (only one God) formed the opposite group. They saw with their eyes, the disbelievers were twice their numbers. Allah strengthens whom He wants with His help. For the knowing there is a lesson in this.
14.It is made attractive for the people to love things which give satisfaction to the minds, such as women, male children, gathered gold and silver heaps, beautiful horses, cattle and tilled-land. These are the facilities of this worldly life. Allah has with Him beautiful residence88.
15. Ask, “Shall I inform you of better things than this?” For those who fear (God) there are gardens of paradise with their God. Beneath them rivers flow. Stay there permanently. Chaste companions8 and Allah’s satisfaction are available. Allah is Seeing His servants.
16. They will say, “Our God, Indeed, we have believed. So, forgive us our sins. Save us from the suffering of Hell.”
17. (They) will be patient, speakers of truth, obeying (God), spending (in good deeds), seeking forgiveness during the last hours of the night.
18. Allah says firmly, “Except Him, there is no one to be worshipped.” Also the angels, the Wise, who establish the justice(state firmly). No one to be worshipped except Him(God). He (God) is the Mighty; the Wise.
19. Indeed, Islam is the only way of life with Allah. Those who were given the Book27 differ, even after the knowledge has come to them, because of jealousy among themselves. Indeed, Allah is swift in enquiring those people who disbelieve Allah’s verses.
20.Tell them, if they argue with you, “I have submitted my face to Allah only. Those who followed me also(have done like this).” You ask, those who were given the Book27 and the illiterates,”Do you accept Islam?” If they accept Islam, then they got the right way. (If they) reject then your duty is to inform. Allah is Seeing (His servants).
21. Warn those, who disbelieve in Allah’s verses, kill the Messengers without reason and kill the people who order justice, that there is a painful suffering.
22. There are the people whose good deeds are destroyed in this world and in the Hereafter. For them there is nobody to help.
23. Do you not know, those who were given the Book as blessings?27 They are (invited) called towards Allah’s Book in order to give judgement between them. Then a party of them act carelessly and reject.
24. The reason is that they said Hell (Fire) will not touch them except on particular days. (Things) self-invented have deceived them in the matter of their religion.
25. How will it be, when We (God) gather them together on the Day1, about which there is no doubt? For each will get the reward for their labour265. They will not be done injustice.
26. Say, “O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You (God) give the kingdom to whom You want. You (God) take away the kingdom from whom You want. You (God) honour whom You want. You (God) disgrace whom You want. All the Good is in Your (God) hand. You (God) have power over all things.”
27. (Also say), “(O God), You make the night to enter into the day. You make the day to enter into night441. You bring the living out of the dead. You bring the dead out of the living. You give (generously) without limit to whom You want.
28. Those who believe, leaving the believers, should not make those who disbelieve(only one God) their guardians89, unless to protect yourself from them. For such there is no (protection) from Allah. Allah warns you about Him. (Your) return is only with Allah.
29.Say, “If you hide or reveal Allah knows whatever is in your minds. He(God) knows what is in the heaven 507 and what is in the earth. Allah has power over all things.”
30.The Day1 on which every person will get the good and the bad done by it, before his eyes, will desire, “There should be a big gap between them and their(bad) deeds.” Allah warns you about Himself. Allah is Kind to his servants.
31. Say, “If you love Allah follow me (Muhammad). Allah will love you. (He) will forgive your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
32. Say, “Obey Allah and His messenger. If you deny then indeed, Allah will not love those who disbelieve (Him).”
33. Allah selected Adam, Nuh, the family of Ibrahim and the Family of Imran above all the people in the worlds.
34. Some among them are progenies of some others. Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
35. Remind what the wife of Imran said, “(My) God, Indeed, I have offered to you what is in my womb (child). That will be dedicated (to You)completely. You (God) accept(this) from me. Indeed, It is You who is Hearing, Knowing.”
36. When she gave birth, she said, “My God, I have given birth to a female child. Allah knows well what she has given birth.” She also said, “Man is not like a woman. I have named her Maryam373.” I seek your protection for her and her progeny from the outcast Shaitan.
37. Her God accepted her (the child) in a gracious manner. He nurtured her in a beautiful manner. He made Zakariah her guardian. Whenever Zakariah went to her room, on seeing food with her, he asked, “O Maryam, from where did you get it?” (Maryam) said, “It is got from Allah. Indeed, Allah gives to whom He wants, without any limit.”
38. Only then Zakariah prayed to God, “O God, give me a pure child from you. Indeed, you are the Hearer of the prayer.”
39. While he was praying, standing in the place for prayer, angels called him and said, “Indeed Allah gives you a good news about yahya. He will confirm the Word90 of Allah. He will be a leader, chaste , messenger and good.”
40. He asked, “My God, how can I have a child, when the old age has come to me and my wife is in the barren stage?” (God) said, “Only thus Allah will do what He wants.”
41. He asked, “God, Give me a sign.” God said, “The sign for you is that you cannot speak except with gestures with the people for three days. Remember your God much. Glorify (Him) in the morning and in the evening.”
42. Remind what the angels said to her, “O Maryam, Indeed, Allah has chosen you, purified you and honoured you above all the women in the world.”
43. (The angels also said), “O Maryam, do obeisance to your God. Do prostration. Do Bowing with those who bow.”
44. It is one of the hidden messages. (O Muhammad), We ourselves inform you this. You have not been with them, When they cast their pens to decide which of them should be the guardian of Maryam. You were not even there with them when they made debate regarding this.
45. Remind what the angels said, “O Maryam, indeed, Allah conveys a good news to you about his Word90. His name is Isa, son of Maryam, called Masih92. (He) will be honoured and very close to (God) in this world and in the Hereafter.”
46. (They also said), “He will speak to the people when he is in the cradle stage and in the young stage415. He will also be good.”
47. She asked, “O God, how can I have a child when I have not been touched by any man?” God said, “Then Allah creates what He wants. When He has decided about anything, He will say ‘Be’. And it is.”506
48. He (God) will teach him the Book, Wisdom, Tawrath and Injeel67.
49. (He also sent Isa) as the messenger to the children of Israel459. (He said), “I have brought the sign from your God. With clay I will form a bird for you and will blow in it. It will become a bird by Allah’s permission. I will cure the blindness by birth and leprosy by Allah’s permission; I will give life to the dead; I will tell what you eat and the things you have stored at home. Indeed, there is a sign in it for you if you have believed.”
50. (He also said), “I have come with sign from your God, inorder to confirm the Tawrath which has gone before me and also to permit some of the things prohibited to you. Hence, Fear Allah and obey me.”
51. (He also said), “Indeed, Allah is my God and your God. Hence, you worship only Him. This is the right way.”
52. When Isa felt the dis-belief (of God)in them, he said, “Who will help me (for the sake of) Allah? ” His confidential companions said, “We are Allah’s helpers. (Have) believed in Allah. You be witness(to the fact) that we are muslims.”
53. (They also said), “Our God, we believed in what you revealed. We followed this messenger. You register us as witness for this.”
54.(Isa’s enemies) plotted. Allah also plotted6. Allah is the best plotter.
55. Remind what Allah said, “O Isa, indeed, I will be your captor raising456 you to Myself, purifying you from the disbelievers (of God) and keep your followers in a higher status over the disbelievers448 (of Me) till the Day of Kiyamath1. After that your return is only to Me. I will give judement among you in the matter you differed.”26
56. And I (God) will severely punish those disbeliever (of Me) in this world and in the Hereafter. There will not be any helper to them93.
57.He will award fully for the labour of those who believed and did good-deeds, Allah does not love those who caused injustice.
58. (O Muhammad), the message that we give you is (My) verses and wise advise.
59.Indeed, with Allah the example is Adam459. He created him (Adam) from the clay and said to him ‘be’506. Immediately there he was368.
60. This truth came from your God. Hence, you do not become a doubter.
61.After understanding has come to you, if anybody argues(pointlessly) with you, about this, Say94, “Come, we will call our children and your children, our women and your women. We also come. You also come. Then we will pray to Allah and invoke the curse of Allah on the liars.”449
62.Indeed, this is the true history. There is no one worshipful except Allah. Allah is the Mighty; the Wise.
63.If you reject, then indeed Allah is knowing of the corruptors.
64.Say, “O people of the Book27 ,(Come to common terms between us and you that), we will not worship (anyone) except Allah; we will not consider anything equal to Him. We will not take from among ourselves any gods except Allah.” If they reject, tell them,” You be the witness (to the fact) that we are Muslims296.”
65.O people of the Book27, why do you argue about Ibrahim? Tawrath and Injeel were sent only after him. Will you not understand?
66.(Till now) you argued about the thing in which you have an understanding. Why do you argue about which you have no understanding? Only Allah knows. You do not know.
67.Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Muslim who stood (firmly) in the way of truth and he was not of those who associated partners to (God).
68.Indeed, rightful people in Ibrahim’s matter are his followers, this ‘Nabi’ (prophet) and the believers. It is Allah who is the Protector of the believers.
69.A group among the people of the Book27 wants to misguide you. They have been misguided themselves. They do not realize.
70.O people of the Book,27 why do you knowingly disbelieve the verses of Allah?
71.O people of the Book27 ,why do (you) mix truth with lies? Why do you knowingly hide the truth?
72.A group among the people of the Book27, say, “Believe in the (Book) given to the believers in the morning and reject it in the evening. Only then (others) will also leave(that religion).”
73.(They also say), “Except those who follow your religion (for others) do not believe that they will be given like what you were given and they will win over you before your God”. Say, “Indeed, right way is only Allah’s way.” (You) also say, “Blessing is in the hands of Allah; He will give it to whom He wants.” Allah is Generous; Knowing.
74.He assigns ownership of His blessings to whom He wants. Allah is the Possessor of great bounty.
75.There are among the people of the Book27, persons who, even if you entrust them with a heap, will return it to you. There are also persons among them, (even) who if you entrust to them a gold coin, will not return unless you stand firmly. The reason is that they say, “We will not incur any sin in the case of illiterate society.” They knowingly invent lies and tell them in Allah’s name.
76.Not so, whoever after fulfilling his promise, fears (God). Indeed, Allah likes those (such people) who fear (Him).
77.Indeed, for those who seek the word of promise made by them to Allah and their oaths cheaply, there is no honour for them in the Hereafter64. On the Day of Qiyamah1 Allah will not even speak to them. He will not even look at them488. He will not even purify them. For them there will be a painful suffering.
78. And indeed, among them there is a group. (They) twist their tongues as if reading the Book, so that, you will think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book. And they also say, “This has come from Allah.” That has not come from Allah. They knowingly tell lies in the name of Allah.
79.If Allah gives any man the Book, authority164 and the status of a prophet, then he has no authority to say to the human beings , “Except Allah, (you) become my servants”, but (he will say), “Since you have been teaching and have been reading the book you become the people of Allah.”
80.He will not order you to, “Make the Angels and the messenger gods.” After you have become muslims295, will He order you to disbelieve (only one God)?
81.When Allah got the word of promise from the messengers, “After I (God) gave you the Book and the Wisdom67 and if the Messenger comes to you confirming what you have, will you believe him? Will you help him? ” And ask, “Have you agreed to this? Have you accepted My strong pledge?” They said, “We have accepted this.” He (God) said, “ You be the witness to this. I am also a witness with you.”
82.After this, those who deny will be the wrong doers.
83.Do they seek some other(religion) leaving Allah’s religion? Whether they like it or not the things in the Heaven and the earth submit to Him only. They will be returned to Him only96.
84.Say, “We believed in Allah, what was revealed to us, what was revealed to Ibrahim, Ismail, Isaq, Yaqub and (their) progeny and also that was given to Musa, Isa and other Messengers. We will not show any partiality between any of them37. We are obedient to Him.”
85.Whoever likes a religion other than Islam that will not be accepted from him. He will be the loser in the Hereafter1.
86.How will Allah show the right way to the group (of people) who disbelieved after believing even after receiving clear signs, after understanding clearly that (Muhammad) is true? Allah will not show the right-way to the group which has caused injustice.
87.The punishment for them is the curse of Allah, the angels and all the (Good) people on them.
88.,89.They will stay there permanently. The punishment will not be lightened, except for those who have been reformed after repenting. They will not also be given time. Allah is Forgiving; most Merciful26.
90.Indeed, those who disbelieved after believing and hence increased their disbelief(in God), their repentance(forgiveness) will never be accepted. It is they who have gone astray.
91.Indeed, for those who disbelieved (in only one God) and died in that state even if they give in compensation an earth full of gold that will not be accepted. They have painful suffering. There is nobody to help them.
PART IV
92.Unless you spend (in good deed) from what you like, you will never get the reward. Whatever you spend(in good deeds) Allah is Knowing80.
93.Before the revelation of Tawrath, except that Israel (Yaqub) had made unlawful to himself, all the food(materials) was permitted to the children of Israel. (O Muhammad) ask (the Jews), “If you are really truthful, bring the Tawrath and read it.”
94.After that, those who invented lies in the name of Allah have caused injustice.
95.Say, “Allah told only the truth. So, follow Ibrahim’s religion. He stood (upright) in the right way. He was not of those who associated others (to God).”
96.Indeed, the first House33 established to show the right-way for all the worlds and as the blessing for the people is in Bakkah (Makkah).
97.In it are clear signs438 and ‘Makhame Ibrahim’35 .Whoever enters that has received safety34 and in that House33 ,for the able people, it is a duty to perform Haj for Allah. If anybody disbelieves (the only one God) then Allah has no need from the people of the worlds.485
98.Say, “O people of the Book, why do you refuse to accept Allah’s verses? Allah is Seeing, what you do.”
99. Also Say, “O people of the Book,27 Why do you prevent those who believed, from the way of Allah? Knowingly you draw a distorted picture of that (religion). Allah is not unmindful of what you do.”
100.O, believers, If you obey a group among the people of the Book27 they will change, you believers, into disbelievers (of only one God).
101.How do you disbelieve (only one God) even while Allah’s verses are being conveyed to you and the messenger (Muhammad) is with you? Whoever holds firmly to Allah has been guided in the right way.
102. O believers, fear Allah as He should be feared. Do no die except as Muslims295.
103.And all of you together hold firmly the rope of Allah98. Do not be divided. Remember the blessings of Allah on you when you were enemies. He (God) made unity between your minds. Hence, you became brothers by His blessings. You were on the edge of Hell. He (God) saved you from that. Thus Allah makes clear of His signs in order that you may get the right way.
104.There should be a generation among you to promote good, prevent evil and call you towards the right way. Those are the successful.
105. Do not be like the people who after clear signs had come to them,differed and divided.And they will have a great suffering.
106.On that day certain faces will be white. Certain other faces will be black. (It will be said ) to the people with black-faces, “Did you disbelieve after believing (only one God)? You taste suffering as you had been disbelieving.”
107.Those with white faces will be in Allah’s blessings. They will be (stay) there permanently.
108.These are Allah’s verses containing truth. We (God) recite those to you. Allah will not like causing injustice to the people of the world.
109.Whatever in the heavens 507 and on the earth belong only to Allah. All the things will be taken only to Allah.
110.You are the best generations selected for the mankind. (You) promote good. (You) prevent evil. Believe in Allah. It would have been better if the people of the Book27 had believed. Among them, there are also believers. Most of them are wrong-doers.
111.They cannot do any harm to you except causing nuisance. They will show you their backs if they accompany you to fight. Then they will not be helped.
112. Wherever they were, humiliation has been laid on them. Unless they have the covenant of Allah and the covenant of mankind. They have incurred the anger of Allah. Poverty is laid on them99. The reason is that they disbelieved in Allah’s verses and killed the messengers of Allah unjustly. Moreover the reason is they also committed sin and transgressed the limit.
113.All of them are not equal. The people of the Book27, have a straight-forward generation among them. They recite Allah’s verses during night hours; do prostration.
114.They believe in Allah and the Last Day1. Promote good. Prevent evil. They hasten towards good deeds. They are the good.
115.Whatever good they do that will not be denied. Allah is Knowing of those who fear(Him).
116. Indeed, their children (in large number) and the material wealth of those who disbelieve (only one God) will not save even to a lesser degree from Allah. They are the people of Hell. They will stay there permanently.
117.The example of their spending in the worldly life is that of a severe cold wind. That air touches the crops of those, who have wronged themselves and destroys it. Allah has not wronged them but they have wronged themselves.
118. O believers, do not make others your close friends89 leaving yourselves (the believers). They will not spare any means to harm you. They will like you to suffer. Hatred has been revealed from their mouths. What their minds have hidden is more than that. We have made the(our) verses clear if you can understand.
119.Whereas you love them, they do not love you. You believe in all the Books(of God). (They) say, “We have believed when they see you. When they are alone, they bite the nails against you, due to anger.Say, “Die because of your anger”. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of what is in your mind.
120.If good comes to you, that causes grief to them. If evil falls on you, they become happy because of that. Their plot will not give you any harm if you are patient and fear(God). Indeed, Allah is Knowing fully of what they do.
121. Remember, (O Muhammad), when you departed leaving your family in order to station the believers in the battle fields. Allah is Hearing; Knowing53.
122.The situation, where Allah was their helper, for both the groups of people among you, both groups thought of becoming cowards. Believers should only trust Allah.
123. And Allah helped you in field of ‘Badr’ when you were in a weak state. Hence, you fear Allah in order to give thanks.
124. Remind the believers of what you said, “Was it not enough for you, that Allah helped with three thousand angels sent down (from the Heaven)? ”
125.Not only that, when you are patient and fear (God), if they come (to fight) suddenly, your God will help you with five thousand angels, who know the arts of war.
126.Allah made this, to convey good news to you so your minds will get peace. There is no help except from Allah; the Mighty and the Wise.
127. (Allah helped) either to destroy a group of disbelievers(only one God) or to humiliate them by making them return with defeat.
128. (O Muhammad), for you there is no (share) in the power100 . He may forgive them or punish them. For indeed, they have caused injustice480.
129. And whatever is in the heavens507 and on the earth belong to Allah. He forgives whomever He (God) wants. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
130. O believers, do not eat interest which has been in the state of multiplying by many times. Fear Allah. That (you) will get success.
131. Fear the Hell which has been prepared for the disbelievers (of only one God).
132. Obey Allah and this Messenger (Muhammad). That, Mercy will be done (on you).
133. Hasten towards, the forgiveness that you get from your God and the paradise which has an area comprising the Heavens507 and the earth. It has been prepared for those who fear (God).
134. They will spend (in good deeds) in prosperity and poverty. Will chew and swallow their anger. Will forgive people. Allah loves those who do good.
135. Whenever they do shameful deeds and do harm to themselves, they will remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins. Who can forgive the sins except Allah? They will not knowingly remain firm in what they did.
136. Their reward from their God, is forgiveness and the gardens of the paradise. Rivers will flow beneath them. Will stay there permanently. The reward for the workers (who performed well) is very good.
137.Examples have been set before you. Hence, travel on the earth and think about the end of those who considered (truth) lies.
138.This is for men an explanation, straight way and admonition for those who fear (God).
139. Do not be disheartened. Do not be sad. If you have believed then you will be superior.
140. If any injury is caused (in war) to you (then remember) similar injuries are also caused to the other group. We rotate the time among the people. (Thus) Allah (gives trouble) to identify the believers and to promote martyrs among yourselves. Allah will not like those who have caused injustice.
141.Allah (does like this) to purify the believers and to destroy the disbelievers (of Him).
142.Do you think that you can enter paradise without Allah identifying the martyrs and patients among you?
143. You have been desiring martyrdom before meeting death. Now, you have seen it face to face.
144. Muhammad, is nothing but a messenger. Messengers have gone before him101. Will you go back on the way you came if he dies or is killed? Those who go back can never do any harm to Allah. Allah will reward those who act thankfully.
145.No soul can die without Allah’s wish. This is time bound rule. We will give to those who want this reward in this world. We will give to those who want the reward in the Hereafter. We will give to those who behave gratefully.
146.Along with many messengers; so many forces have fought. They were not exhausted due to the (trouble) occurred to them in the way of Allah; have not even become weak; have not even surrendered. Allah likes the patient.
147. Such has been their prayer, “Our God, forgive our sins and our transgression in our deeds. Make our feet firm. Help us against the crowd who disbelieves (you).”
148.Hence, Allah gave the reward in this world and the beautiful reward in the Hereafter. Allah likes the doers of good.
149. O believers, if you submit to those who disbelieve (only one God) they will turn you back on the way you come. Hence (you) will incur loss.
150. But it is Allah who is your Protector. He is the best among the helpers.
151. We will cause terror in the minds of the unbelievers if they associate partners to Allah, even-though Allah has not revealed any evidence.The place they will reach is Hell. The place the unjust will reach is very bad.
152. He made His promise true to you when you completely rooted them out with Allah’s wish. Became exhausted and disputed in this matter. You went against Him, even-though He showed you what you liked. Among you there were people who liked this world and also people who liked the Hereafter. He turned you from (getting victory over them) in-order to test you484. He forgave you. Allah is Gracious to the believers.
153. Remember, when this messenger, has been calling you, from behind, you climbed on the (mountain) without looking back at anybody. When victory eluded you and you incurred sorrow, He rewarded you with a greater sorrow so that you should not be sad102. Allah is aware of what you do.
154. Then he gave you slumber, after sorrow, in-order to make peace in your mind. It overcame a section of you. Sorrow caught hold of the other section. Contrary to the truth, they got the thinking of the age of ignorance about Allah. They said, “Will we get something at least in the authority?” (You) say, “Indeed, authority completely belongs to Allah only”. They have hidden in their minds what they have not revealed to you openly. Also said, “We would not have been killed here if we had possessed at least some authority.” Say, “Even if you had remained in your houses, those who had been fated to be killed, would have gone to their (battle) field.” Allah did so, in-order to test484 and to purify, what you have in your mind. Allah is Knowing of what you have in your mind.
155.Indeed, on the day when the two armies clashed, Shaitan made those turned away among you, for their certain deeds, go astray. Allah forgave them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving; Forbearing.
156.O believers, do not be like those who disbelieved (only one God) and said about their brothers who had travelled or went out to fight, “if they had been with us (they) would not have died. Would not have been killed. Allah did so, in-order to cause worry in their minds. It is Allah who gives life and causes death. Allah is seeing of what you do.”
157. If you are killed or died in the way of Allah, the forgiveness that (you) get from Allah and the blessing will be better than what they have been gathering.
158. And if you die or killed you will be gathered only to Allah.
159. O Muhammad, you behave with them in a congenial manner due to Allah’s Blessing. If you had been rude and hard hearted they would have run leaving you. You forgive them. You ask forgiveness for them. Have consultation with them in the matter. If you have taken firm decision then you rely on Allah. Allah loves only those who rely on Him.
160. If Allah helps you, nobody is there to defeat you. If he refuses to help you who will be your helper, other than him? And believers should rely only on Allah.
161.Swindling is not becoming of a prophet. A swindler will bring a thing which he has swindled on the Day of Kiyamath1(Judgement). Then each one of the persons will be given265 whatever he has done. They will not be caused injustice.
162. One who has pleased Allah, can he be like the one, who has attained Hell by gaining Allah’s anger? Among the places of destination (it) is the worst place.
163. But for them there are many degrees with Allah. Allah is seeing what they do.
164. Allah did a great help to the believers by sending a messenger from among them. He will recite His (God) verses to them. Will purify them. Will teach them the Book and Wisdom67. They have been in open wrong (way) before this36.
165. You who gave affliction two times over to your (enemies) in the war of Badr, when difficulty occurred to you in the war of Uhud, you said, “How did it happen?” Say, “it happened only from yourselves.” Indeed, Allah has power over all things.
166.,167. What have happened to you on the day, when two sides met face to face is by the will of Allah, in-order to identify the believers and (to identify) the hypocrites. It was said to them, “Come, fight in the way of Allah or stop (the enemies).” (They) said, “We would have followed you if we had known fighting.” On that day they were very close to disbelief (of God) than to belief. They said with their mouths what was not in their minds. And Allah is well aware of what they hide26.
168. Those who did not go to the war said about their brothers, “Had they obeyed us they would not have been killed.” Say, “if you are truthful you try to stop death from (reaching) you.”
169.Do not think that they who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. But, they are alive with their God41; are given food.
170.(They) feel happy about the blessings given to them by Allah. For those who have not joined them (till then)and going to come (after sacrificing their lives) later there is no fear at all. They have been happy thinking that they will not even be sad there.
171.They are happy about the Blessing and the Mercy received from Allah and about the reward of the believers which will not be wasted by Allah.
172. Even after injury had struck them they answered (responded) Allah and His messengers. There is a great reward for those who did good deeds and feared (God).
173. A few people said to them, “Indeed, people have gathered against you. So, fear them.” It increased the faith in them. They said, “Allah is sufficient to us; He is the best guardian.”
174. Hence, they returned with Allah’s Mercy and Blessing. No harm occurred to them. They got Allah’s satisfaction. Allah is the Possessor of great bounty.
175. It is Shaitan who frightens (you through) his supporters (like this). Do not fear them. If you believe fear only Me(God).
176. You do not worry about those who hasten towards disbelief (of God). Indeed they cannot do any harm to Allah. Allah desires that they should not have any blessing in the Hereafter. For them there is severe suffering.
177. Indeed, those who have sold their belief and purchased disbelief (in God) can never do any harm to Allah. For them there is painful suffering.
178. Let them not think, “The respite that we have given to the disbelievers (of us) is good for themselves. We have given them time so that they may add more to their sins. For them there is a Humiliating suffering.”
179. Where you remain (together) without good people being distinguished from bad people by him. Allah will not leave the believers in such a state103. Allah will not let you see the hidden. Instead Allah selects from His messengers whom He wants104. Hence, believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you believe and fear (God) then for you there is a great reward.
180. Let not those who show stinginess in the Bounty of Allah think, “That is better for them.” Instead, it is bad for them. Their necks will be strangled on the Day of Qiyamah1 by that, in which they have caused stinginess. The right (ownership) of the heavens507 and the earth belongs to Allah. And Allah is well aware of what you do.
181.,182. Allah had heard the statement485 of those who said, “Indeed Allah is needy; but we are not needy.” We will register what they said and their murdering of messengers unjustly. And will say26, “Taste the scorching suffering. This is the deed done by you.” Allah will not be unjust to His servants26.
183. They said, “Indeed, Allah has got the promise from us that we will not believe in any messenger unless they bring some offering to us and fire will consume it.” Before me many messengers have got clear signs and what you demanded. (O Muhammad) ask, “If you should be truthful, why did you murder them?”
184.(O Muhammad), if they consider you a liar, remember before you, many messengers have been considered liars. They brought clear signs, scriptures and the enlightening Book105
185. Every soul should taste death. Your rewards will be given in full. Only on the Day of Qiyamah1. One who is moved away and sent to paradise has got success. This worldly life is nothing but a illusionary enjoyment.
186. You will be tested484 through your wealth and lives. You will certainly hear a lot of words giving discomfort from those who have been given the Books before you27 and from those who equal others with Allah. If you are patient and fear Allah then it will indeed, be one of the steadfast matters.
187. When Allah took the promise from the people of the Book, “That should be made clear to the people and should not hide”, they threw that behind their backs. Sold it at a cheap price. What that they purchase (in exchange) is very bad.
188. You do not think that those who become happy for what they have done and want that they should (also) be praised for what they have not done, have escaped from suffering. For them they have painful suffering.
189. Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs only to Allah. Allah has power over all things.
190. Indeed, in the creations of the heavens507 and the earth and fluctuation of night and day there are many evidences for the people of understanding.
191. They will remember Allah while standing, sitting and even in the state of lying. They will think about the creation of the heavens507 and the earth. (They will say), “Our God, you did not create it in vain; you are pure10 (from all weakness) hence, save us from the suffering of Hell.”
192.Also say, “My God, you have humiliated indeed, the one whom you sent to Hell. There is no helper to those who are unjust.”
193.Will also say, “Our God, indeed, we heard the caller calling towards belief, ‘you believe your God’. Immediately we have believed. Our God, forgive our sins. Erase our evil deeds from us. You capture us with the good.”
194.(They will also say), “Our God, you give us what you have promised through your messengers. On the Day of Qiyamah1 (judgement) do not humiliate us, indeed you will not break your promise.”
195. Their God replied to them, “I (God) will not waste anybody’s deed among you, whether it is a man or a woman.” A few of you (originated) from a few others. I will erase the sins of those who did hijrath460 after being evicted from their nations, afflicted in the way of Allah and those who fought were killed from them54. I will make them enter the garden of Paradise. Beneath them rivers flow. (This is Allah’s reward). The best reward is with Allah.
196. Let not the unbelievers’ (of God) movements (luxuriously) around the (towns) places, deceive you.
197. It is cheap enjoyment. Then the refuge is Hell. As a resting place, it is bad.
198. Still, there are gardens of Paradise for those who fear their God. Beneath them rivers flow. (They) will stay there permanently. This is Allah’s feast. What is with Allah is the best for the good.
199. And indeed, among the people of the Book27 there are people who submit to Allah and believe in what was revealed to you and what was revealed to them. They will not sell Allah’s verses cheaply445. Their reward is with their God. Allah is quick in accounting.
200. O believers, be patient; exceed in tolerance (over others); stand firm; fear Allah; (you) will succeed.
