At-Tawbah 9:1

بَراءَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ إِلَى الَّذينَ عٰهَدتُم مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

A declaration of release from The God and His Messenger to the associators with whom you made a treaty.

At-Tawbah 9:2

فَسيحوا فِى الأَرضِ أَربَعَةَ أَشهُرٍ وَاعلَموا أَنَّكُم غَيرُ مُعجِزِى اللَّهِ ۙ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ مُخزِى الكٰفِرينَ

Travel through the land for four months, and know that you cannot thwart The God and that The God will disgrace the disbelievers.

At-Tawbah 9:3

وَأَذٰنٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ إِلَى النّاسِ يَومَ الحَجِّ الأَكبَرِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ بَرىءٌ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ ۙ وَرَسولُهُ ۚ فَإِن تُبتُم فَهُوَ خَيرٌ لَكُم ۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيتُم فَاعلَموا أَنَّكُم غَيرُ مُعجِزِى اللَّهِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

An announcement from The God and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage: The God is free of the associators, and so is His Messenger. If you repent, it is better for you. If you turn away, know that you cannot thwart The God. Give those who disbelieve news of a painful punishment.

At-Tawbah 9:4

إِلَّا الَّذينَ عٰهَدتُم مِنَ المُشرِكينَ ثُمَّ لَم يَنقُصوكُم شَيـًٔا وَلَم يُظٰهِروا عَلَيكُم أَحَدًا فَأَتِمّوا إِلَيهِم عَهدَهُم إِلىٰ مُدَّتِهِم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَّقينَ

Except those associators with whom you made a treaty, who then did not diminish anything due to you or support anyone against you. Fulfill their treaty with them until its term. The God loves the mindful.

At-Tawbah 9:5

فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشهُرُ الحُرُمُ فَاقتُلُوا المُشرِكينَ حَيثُ وَجَدتُموهُم وَخُذوهُم وَاحصُروهُم وَاقعُدوا لَهُم كُلَّ مَرصَدٍ ۚ فَإِن تابوا وَأَقامُوا الصَّلوٰةَ وَءاتَوُا الزَّكوٰةَ فَخَلّوا سَبيلَهُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

When the sacred months have passed, kill the associators wherever you find them, seize them, besiege them, and sit in wait for them at every lookout. If they repent, establish prayer, and give zakat, let them go their way. The God is Forgiving, Merciful.

At-Tawbah 9:6

وَإِن أَحَدٌ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ استَجارَكَ فَأَجِرهُ حَتّىٰ يَسمَعَ كَلٰمَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبلِغهُ مَأمَنَهُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم قَومٌ لا يَعلَمونَ

If any of the associators seeks your protection, grant him protection so that he may hear the word of The God; then convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know.

At-Tawbah 9:7

كَيفَ يَكونُ لِلمُشرِكينَ عَهدٌ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ رَسولِهِ إِلَّا الَّذينَ عٰهَدتُم عِندَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ ۖ فَمَا استَقٰموا لَكُم فَاستَقيموا لَهُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَّقينَ

How can the associators have a treaty with The God and His Messenger, except those with whom you made a treaty at the Sacred Mosque? As long as they remain upright toward you, remain upright toward them. The God loves the mindful.

At-Tawbah 9:8

كَيفَ وَإِن يَظهَروا عَلَيكُم لا يَرقُبوا فيكُم إِلًّا وَلا ذِمَّةً ۚ يُرضونَكُم بِأَفوٰهِهِم وَتَأبىٰ قُلوبُهُم وَأَكثَرُهُم فٰسِقونَ

How, when, if they gain the upper hand over you, they observe neither kinship nor a covenant toward you? They please you with their mouths, while their hearts refuse. Most of them are defiantly disobedient.

At-Tawbah 9:9

اشتَرَوا بِـٔايٰتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَليلًا فَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُم ساءَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

They exchanged the signs of The God for a small price and barred others from His way. Evil indeed was what they did.

At-Tawbah 9:10

لا يَرقُبونَ فى مُؤمِنٍ إِلًّا وَلا ذِمَّةً ۚ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ المُعتَدونَ

They observe neither kinship nor a covenant toward a believer. They are the transgressors.

At-Tawbah 9:11

فَإِن تابوا وَأَقامُوا الصَّلوٰةَ وَءاتَوُا الزَّكوٰةَ فَإِخوٰنُكُم فِى الدّينِ ۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ الـٔايٰتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

If they repent, establish prayer, and give zakat, they are your brothers in religion. We set out the signs in detail for people who know.

At-Tawbah 9:12

وَإِن نَكَثوا أَيمٰنَهُم مِن بَعدِ عَهدِهِم وَطَعَنوا فى دينِكُم فَقٰتِلوا أَئِمَّةَ الكُفرِ ۙ إِنَّهُم لا أَيمٰنَ لَهُم لَعَلَّهُم يَنتَهونَ

If they break their oaths after their treaty and assail your religion, fight the leaders of disbelief; their oaths are nothing, so that they may desist.

At-Tawbah 9:13

أَلا تُقٰتِلونَ قَومًا نَكَثوا أَيمٰنَهُم وَهَمّوا بِإِخراجِ الرَّسولِ وَهُم بَدَءوكُم أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ أَتَخشَونَهُم ۚ فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخشَوهُ إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

Will you not fight a people who broke their oaths, intended to expel the Messenger, and began against you the first time? Do you fear them? The God has a greater right that you fear Him, if you are believers.

At-Tawbah 9:14

قٰتِلوهُم يُعَذِّبهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَيديكُم وَيُخزِهِم وَيَنصُركُم عَلَيهِم وَيَشفِ صُدورَ قَومٍ مُؤمِنينَ

Fight them; The God will punish them by your hands, disgrace them, give you victory over them, and heal the breasts of a believing people.

At-Tawbah 9:15

وَيُذهِب غَيظَ قُلوبِهِم ۗ وَيَتوبُ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

And remove the anger of their hearts. The God turns toward whomever He wills. The God is Knowing, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:16

أَم حَسِبتُم أَن تُترَكوا وَلَمّا يَعلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ جٰهَدوا مِنكُم وَلَم يَتَّخِذوا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلا رَسولِهِ وَلَا المُؤمِنينَ وَليجَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبيرٌ بِما تَعمَلونَ

Did you think you would be left alone while The God has not yet known those among you who strive and take no confidant apart from The God, His Messenger, and the believers? The God is aware of what you do.

At-Tawbah 9:17

ما كانَ لِلمُشرِكينَ أَن يَعمُروا مَسٰجِدَ اللَّهِ شٰهِدينَ عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم بِالكُفرِ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ حَبِطَت أَعمٰلُهُم وَفِى النّارِ هُم خٰلِدونَ

It is not for the associators to maintain the mosques of The God while testifying against themselves to disbelief. Their deeds have come to nothing, and in the Fire they will remain.

At-Tawbah 9:18

إِنَّما يَعمُرُ مَسٰجِدَ اللَّهِ مَن ءامَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ وَأَقامَ الصَّلوٰةَ وَءاتَى الزَّكوٰةَ وَلَم يَخشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ۖ فَعَسىٰ أُولٰئِكَ أَن يَكونوا مِنَ المُهتَدينَ

Only those who believe in The God and the Last Day, establish prayer, give zakat, and fear none but The God maintain the mosques of The God. It may be that they are among the guided.

At-Tawbah 9:19

أَجَعَلتُم سِقايَةَ الحاجِّ وَعِمارَةَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ كَمَن ءامَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ وَجٰهَدَ فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ لا يَستَوۥنَ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الظّٰلِمينَ

Have you made the giving of water to pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque equal to one who believes in The God and the Last Day and strives in the way of The God? They are not equal with The God. The God does not guide the unjust people.

At-Tawbah 9:20

الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَهاجَروا وَجٰهَدوا فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَموٰلِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم أَعظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ اللَّهِ ۚ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الفائِزونَ

Those who believe, migrate, and strive in the way of The God with their wealth and their lives have a greater degree with The God. They are the triumphant.

At-Tawbah 9:21

يُبَشِّرُهُم رَبُّهُم بِرَحمَةٍ مِنهُ وَرِضوٰنٍ وَجَنّٰتٍ لَهُم فيها نَعيمٌ مُقيمٌ

Their Lord gives them good news of mercy from Him, approval, and gardens in which they have lasting delight.

At-Tawbah 9:22

خٰلِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ أَجرٌ عَظيمٌ

Remaining in them forever. With The God is a great reward.

At-Tawbah 9:23

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا لا تَتَّخِذوا ءاباءَكُم وَإِخوٰنَكُم أَولِياءَ إِنِ استَحَبُّوا الكُفرَ عَلَى الإيمٰنِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِنكُم فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمونَ

You who believe, do not take your fathers and brothers as guardians if they prefer disbelief to faith. Whoever among you takes them as guardians—those are the unjust.

At-Tawbah 9:24

قُل إِن كانَ ءاباؤُكُم وَأَبناؤُكُم وَإِخوٰنُكُم وَأَزوٰجُكُم وَعَشيرَتُكُم وَأَموٰلٌ اقتَرَفتُموها وَتِجٰرَةٌ تَخشَونَ كَسادَها وَمَسٰكِنُ تَرضَونَها أَحَبَّ إِلَيكُم مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَجِهادٍ فى سَبيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصوا حَتّىٰ يَأتِىَ اللَّهُ بِأَمرِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الفٰسِقينَ

Say, “If your fathers, sons, brothers, spouses, clan, wealth you have acquired, trade whose decline you fear, and dwellings that please you are dearer to you than The God, His Messenger, and striving in His way, then wait until The God brings His command.” The God does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

At-Tawbah 9:25

لَقَد نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فى مَواطِنَ كَثيرَةٍ ۙ وَيَومَ حُنَينٍ ۙ إِذ أَعجَبَتكُم كَثرَتُكُم فَلَم تُغنِ عَنكُم شَيـًٔا وَضاقَت عَلَيكُمُ الأَرضُ بِما رَحُبَت ثُمَّ وَلَّيتُم مُدبِرينَ

The God has helped you in many places, and on the day of Hunayn, when your great number impressed you but did not avail you at all. The earth, despite its breadth, became narrow for you; then you turned your backs and retreated.

At-Tawbah 9:26

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكينَتَهُ عَلىٰ رَسولِهِ وَعَلَى المُؤمِنينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنودًا لَم تَرَوها وَعَذَّبَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۚ وَذٰلِكَ جَزاءُ الكٰفِرينَ

Then The God sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers, sent down troops you did not see, and punished those who disbelieved. That is the recompense of the disbelievers.

At-Tawbah 9:27

ثُمَّ يَتوبُ اللَّهُ مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Then, after that, The God turns toward whomever He wills. The God is Forgiving, Merciful.

At-Tawbah 9:28

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا إِنَّمَا المُشرِكونَ نَجَسٌ فَلا يَقرَبُوا المَسجِدَ الحَرامَ بَعدَ عامِهِم هٰذا ۚ وَإِن خِفتُم عَيلَةً فَسَوفَ يُغنيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ إِن شاءَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

You who believe, the associators are impure, so let them not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year of theirs. If you fear poverty, The God will enrich you from His bounty, if He wills. The God is Knowing, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:29

قٰتِلُوا الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلا بِاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ وَلا يُحَرِّمونَ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ وَلا يَدينونَ دينَ الحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ حَتّىٰ يُعطُوا الجِزيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُم صٰغِرونَ

Fight those who were given the Book who do not believe in The God or the Last Day, do not forbid what The God and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, until they give the jizyah by hand while humbled.

At-Tawbah 9:30

وَقالَتِ اليَهودُ عُزَيرٌ ابنُ اللَّهِ وَقالَتِ النَّصٰرَى المَسيحُ ابنُ اللَّهِ ۖ ذٰلِكَ قَولُهُم بِأَفوٰهِهِم ۖ يُضٰهِـٔونَ قَولَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن قَبلُ ۚ قٰتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ أَنّىٰ يُؤفَكونَ

The Jews said, “Ezra is the son of The God,” and the Christians said, “The Messiah is the son of The God.” That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved before. May The God fight them! How they are turned away!

At-Tawbah 9:31

اتَّخَذوا أَحبارَهُم وَرُهبٰنَهُم أَربابًا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَالمَسيحَ ابنَ مَريَمَ وَما أُمِروا إِلّا لِيَعبُدوا إِلٰهًا وٰحِدًا ۖ لا إِلٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۚ سُبحٰنَهُ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

They took their scholars and monks as lords apart from The God, and the Messiah, son of Mary, though they were commanded only to worship one god. There is no god except Him. Glory be to Him above what they associate as partners.

At-Tawbah 9:32

يُريدونَ أَن يُطفِـٔوا نورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفوٰهِهِم وَيَأبَى اللَّهُ إِلّا أَن يُتِمَّ نورَهُ وَلَو كَرِهَ الكٰفِرونَ

They wish to extinguish the light of The God with their mouths, but The God refuses anything except to complete His light, even if the disbelievers dislike it.

At-Tawbah 9:33

هُوَ الَّذى أَرسَلَ رَسولَهُ بِالهُدىٰ وَدينِ الحَقِّ لِيُظهِرَهُ عَلَى الدّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَو كَرِهَ المُشرِكونَ

He is the One who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religion, even if the associators dislike it.

At-Tawbah 9:34

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا إِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ الأَحبارِ وَالرُّهبانِ لَيَأكُلونَ أَموٰلَ النّاسِ بِالبٰطِلِ وَيَصُدّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَالَّذينَ يَكنِزونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالفِضَّةَ وَلا يُنفِقونَها فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرهُم بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

You who believe, many scholars and monks consume people’s wealth wrongfully and bar others from the way of The God. Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of The God—give them news of a painful punishment.

At-Tawbah 9:35

يَومَ يُحمىٰ عَلَيها فى نارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكوىٰ بِها جِباهُهُم وَجُنوبُهُم وَظُهورُهُم ۖ هٰذا ما كَنَزتُم لِأَنفُسِكُم فَذوقوا ما كُنتُم تَكنِزونَ

On the day it is heated in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, sides, and backs are branded with it: “This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard.”

At-Tawbah 9:36

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهورِ عِندَ اللَّهِ اثنا عَشَرَ شَهرًا فى كِتٰبِ اللَّهِ يَومَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ مِنها أَربَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ الدّينُ القَيِّمُ ۚ فَلا تَظلِموا فيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُم ۚ وَقٰتِلُوا المُشرِكينَ كافَّةً كَما يُقٰتِلونَكُم كافَّةً ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ المُتَّقينَ

The number of months with The God is twelve in the Book of The God, on the day He created the heavens and the earth. Four of them are sacred. That is the upright religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. Fight the associators all together, just as they fight you all together. Know that The God is with the mindful.

At-Tawbah 9:37

إِنَّمَا النَّسىءُ زِيادَةٌ فِى الكُفرِ ۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يُحِلّونَهُ عامًا وَيُحَرِّمونَهُ عامًا لِيُواطِـٔوا عِدَّةَ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَيُحِلّوا ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ ۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُم سوءُ أَعمٰلِهِم ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الكٰفِرينَ

Postponement is only an increase in disbelief, by which those who disbelieve are led astray. They make it lawful one year and forbidden another year to match the number of what The God has made sacred, thus making lawful what The God has forbidden. The evil of their deeds has been made fair to them. The God does not guide the disbelieving people.

At-Tawbah 9:38

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا ما لَكُم إِذا قيلَ لَكُمُ انفِروا فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ اثّاقَلتُم إِلَى الأَرضِ ۚ أَرَضيتُم بِالحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا مِنَ الـٔاخِرَةِ ۚ فَما مَتٰعُ الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا فِى الـٔاخِرَةِ إِلّا قَليلٌ

You who believe, what is the matter with you that, when you are told to go forth in the way of The God, you weigh yourselves down to the earth? Are you content with the worldly life instead of the Hereafter? The enjoyment of the worldly life compared with the Hereafter is only a little.

At-Tawbah 9:39

إِلّا تَنفِروا يُعَذِّبكُم عَذابًا أَليمًا وَيَستَبدِل قَومًا غَيرَكُم وَلا تَضُرّوهُ شَيـًٔا ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَىءٍ قَديرٌ

If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and replace you with another people. You will not harm Him at all. The God has power over everything.

At-Tawbah 9:40

إِلّا تَنصُروهُ فَقَد نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذ أَخرَجَهُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ثانِىَ اثنَينِ إِذ هُما فِى الغارِ إِذ يَقولُ لِصٰحِبِهِ لا تَحزَن إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنا ۖ فَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكينَتَهُ عَلَيهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنودٍ لَم تَرَوها وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا السُّفلىٰ ۗ وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِىَ العُليا ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ

If you do not help him, The God already helped him when those who disbelieved expelled him, the second of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, “Do not grieve; The God is with us.” The God sent down His tranquility upon him, strengthened him with troops you did not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest. The word of The God is the highest. The God is Mighty, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:41

انفِروا خِفافًا وَثِقالًا وَجٰهِدوا بِأَموٰلِكُم وَأَنفُسِكُم فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ

Go forth, light and heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of The God. That is better for you, if you know.

At-Tawbah 9:42

لَو كانَ عَرَضًا قَريبًا وَسَفَرًا قاصِدًا لَاتَّبَعوكَ وَلٰكِن بَعُدَت عَلَيهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ ۚ وَسَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَوِ استَطَعنا لَخَرَجنا مَعَكُم يُهلِكونَ أَنفُسَهُم وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ إِنَّهُم لَكٰذِبونَ

Had it been a nearby gain and a moderate journey, they would have followed you, but the distance seemed too great to them. They will swear by The God, “Had we been able, we would have gone out with you.” They destroy themselves, and The God knows that they are liars.

At-Tawbah 9:43

عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُم حَتّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الَّذينَ صَدَقوا وَتَعلَمَ الكٰذِبينَ

The God has pardoned you. Why did you give them permission before those who spoke the truth became clear to you and you knew the liars?

At-Tawbah 9:44

لا يَستَـٔذِنُكَ الَّذينَ يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ أَن يُجٰهِدوا بِأَموٰلِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ بِالمُتَّقينَ

Those who believe in The God and the Last Day do not ask your permission concerning striving with their wealth and their lives. The God knows the mindful.

At-Tawbah 9:45

إِنَّما يَستَـٔذِنُكَ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ وَارتابَت قُلوبُهُم فَهُم فى رَيبِهِم يَتَرَدَّدونَ

Only those who do not believe in The God and the Last Day ask your permission, whose hearts are in doubt, so they waver in their doubt.

At-Tawbah 9:46

وَلَو أَرادُوا الخُروجَ لَأَعَدّوا لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلٰكِن كَرِهَ اللَّهُ انبِعاثَهُم فَثَبَّطَهُم وَقيلَ اقعُدوا مَعَ القٰعِدينَ

Had they intended to go out, they would have made preparations for it. But The God disliked their setting out, so He held them back, and it was said, “Sit with those who sit.”

At-Tawbah 9:47

لَو خَرَجوا فيكُم ما زادوكُم إِلّا خَبالًا وَلَأَوضَعوا خِلٰلَكُم يَبغونَكُمُ الفِتنَةَ وَفيكُم سَمّٰعونَ لَهُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ بِالظّٰلِمينَ

Had they gone out among you, they would have added nothing to you but disorder and hurried about among you, seeking turmoil for you. Among you are those who listen to them. The God knows the unjust.

At-Tawbah 9:48

لَقَدِ ابتَغَوُا الفِتنَةَ مِن قَبلُ وَقَلَّبوا لَكَ الأُمورَ حَتّىٰ جاءَ الحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمرُ اللَّهِ وَهُم كٰرِهونَ

They had sought turmoil before and turned matters about against you, until the truth came and the command of The God prevailed, while they disliked it.

At-Tawbah 9:49

وَمِنهُم مَن يَقولُ ائذَن لى وَلا تَفتِنّى ۚ أَلا فِى الفِتنَةِ سَقَطوا ۗ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحيطَةٌ بِالكٰفِرينَ

Among them is one who says, “Give me permission and do not put me to trial.” Indeed, they have fallen into trial. Hell encompasses the disbelievers.

At-Tawbah 9:50

إِن تُصِبكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤهُم ۖ وَإِن تُصِبكَ مُصيبَةٌ يَقولوا قَد أَخَذنا أَمرَنا مِن قَبلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوا وَهُم فَرِحونَ

If good befalls you, it distresses them. If a misfortune befalls you, they say, “We took care of our affair beforehand,” and turn away rejoicing.

At-Tawbah 9:51

قُل لَن يُصيبَنا إِلّا ما كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنا هُوَ مَولىٰنا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَليَتَوَكَّلِ المُؤمِنونَ

Say, “Nothing will befall us except what The God has written for us. He is our protector.” Let the believers rely on The God.

At-Tawbah 9:52

قُل هَل تَرَبَّصونَ بِنا إِلّا إِحدَى الحُسنَيَينِ ۖ وَنَحنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُم أَن يُصيبَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِعَذابٍ مِن عِندِهِ أَو بِأَيدينا ۖ فَتَرَبَّصوا إِنّا مَعَكُم مُتَرَبِّصونَ

Say, “Do you await for us anything but one of the two good outcomes? We await for you that The God will afflict you with a punishment from Him or by our hands. So wait; we are waiting with you.”

At-Tawbah 9:53

قُل أَنفِقوا طَوعًا أَو كَرهًا لَن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُم ۖ إِنَّكُم كُنتُم قَومًا فٰسِقينَ

Say, “Spend willingly or unwillingly; it will not be accepted from you. You have been a defiantly disobedient people.”

At-Tawbah 9:54

وَما مَنَعَهُم أَن تُقبَلَ مِنهُم نَفَقٰتُهُم إِلّا أَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسولِهِ وَلا يَأتونَ الصَّلوٰةَ إِلّا وَهُم كُسالىٰ وَلا يُنفِقونَ إِلّا وَهُم كٰرِهونَ

Nothing prevented their expenditures from being accepted except that they disbelieved in The God and His Messenger, come to prayer only reluctantly, and spend only unwillingly.

At-Tawbah 9:55

فَلا تُعجِبكَ أَموٰلُهُم وَلا أَولٰدُهُم ۚ إِنَّما يُريدُ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم بِها فِى الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا وَتَزهَقَ أَنفُسُهُم وَهُم كٰفِرونَ

Do not let their wealth or their children impress you. The God only intends to punish them through these in the worldly life and for their souls to depart while they are disbelievers.

At-Tawbah 9:56

وَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُم لَمِنكُم وَما هُم مِنكُم وَلٰكِنَّهُم قَومٌ يَفرَقونَ

They swear by The God that they are of you, but they are not of you. They are a people who are afraid.

At-Tawbah 9:57

لَو يَجِدونَ مَلجَـًٔا أَو مَغٰرٰتٍ أَو مُدَّخَلًا لَوَلَّوا إِلَيهِ وَهُم يَجمَحونَ

If they found a refuge, caves, or a place to enter, they would turn toward it, rushing headlong.

At-Tawbah 9:58

وَمِنهُم مَن يَلمِزُكَ فِى الصَّدَقٰتِ فَإِن أُعطوا مِنها رَضوا وَإِن لَم يُعطَوا مِنها إِذا هُم يَسخَطونَ

Among them are those who criticize you concerning charities. If they are given some, they are pleased; if they are not given any, they are suddenly angry.

At-Tawbah 9:59

وَلَو أَنَّهُم رَضوا ما ءاتىٰهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ وَقالوا حَسبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤتينَا اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ وَرَسولُهُ إِنّا إِلَى اللَّهِ رٰغِبونَ

If only they were content with what The God and His Messenger gave them and said, “The God is sufficient for us. The God will give us from His bounty, and so will His Messenger. Toward The God we direct our desire.”

At-Tawbah 9:60

إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلفُقَراءِ وَالمَسٰكينِ وَالعٰمِلينَ عَلَيها وَالمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلوبُهُم وَفِى الرِّقابِ وَالغٰرِمينَ وَفى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَابنِ السَّبيلِ ۖ فَريضَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

Charities are only for the poor, the needy, those who work on them, those whose hearts are brought together, the freeing of those in bondage, debtors, the way of The God, and the traveler—a duty from The God. The God is Knowing, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:61

وَمِنهُمُ الَّذينَ يُؤذونَ النَّبِىَّ وَيَقولونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ ۚ قُل أُذُنُ خَيرٍ لَكُم يُؤمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَيُؤمِنُ لِلمُؤمِنينَ وَرَحمَةٌ لِلَّذينَ ءامَنوا مِنكُم ۚ وَالَّذينَ يُؤذونَ رَسولَ اللَّهِ لَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Among them are those who hurt the Prophet and say, “He is an ear.” Say, “An ear of good for you. He believes in The God, trusts the believers, and is a mercy for those among you who believe.” Those who hurt the Messenger of The God have a painful punishment.

At-Tawbah 9:62

يَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُم لِيُرضوكُم وَاللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرضوهُ إِن كانوا مُؤمِنينَ

They swear by The God to you to please you. The God and His Messenger have a greater right that they please Him, if they are believers.

At-Tawbah 9:63

أَلَم يَعلَموا أَنَّهُ مَن يُحادِدِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ فَأَنَّ لَهُ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدًا فيها ۚ ذٰلِكَ الخِزىُ العَظيمُ

Do they not know that whoever opposes The God and His Messenger will have the fire of Hell, remaining in it? That is the great disgrace.

At-Tawbah 9:64

يَحذَرُ المُنٰفِقونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيهِم سورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِما فى قُلوبِهِم ۚ قُلِ استَهزِءوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُخرِجٌ ما تَحذَرونَ

The hypocrites fear that a surah will be sent down upon them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, “Mock; The God will bring out what you fear.”

At-Tawbah 9:65

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم لَيَقولُنَّ إِنَّما كُنّا نَخوضُ وَنَلعَبُ ۚ قُل أَبِاللَّهِ وَءايٰتِهِ وَرَسولِهِ كُنتُم تَستَهزِءونَ

If you ask them, they will surely say, “We were only talking idly and playing.” Say, “Was it The God, His signs, and His Messenger that you were mocking?”

At-Tawbah 9:66

لا تَعتَذِروا قَد كَفَرتُم بَعدَ إيمٰنِكُم ۚ إِن نَعفُ عَن طائِفَةٍ مِنكُم نُعَذِّب طائِفَةً بِأَنَّهُم كانوا مُجرِمينَ

Make no excuses. You have disbelieved after your faith. If We pardon a group among you, We will punish another group because they were guilty.

At-Tawbah 9:67

المُنٰفِقونَ وَالمُنٰفِقٰتُ بَعضُهُم مِن بَعضٍ ۚ يَأمُرونَ بِالمُنكَرِ وَيَنهَونَ عَنِ المَعروفِ وَيَقبِضونَ أَيدِيَهُم ۚ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُم ۗ إِنَّ المُنٰفِقينَ هُمُ الفٰسِقونَ

The hypocritical men and women are of one another. They command what is wrong, forbid what is right, and withhold their hands. They forgot The God, so He forgot them. The hypocrites are the defiantly disobedient.

At-Tawbah 9:68

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ المُنٰفِقينَ وَالمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالكُفّارَ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدينَ فيها ۚ هِىَ حَسبُهُم ۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ مُقيمٌ

The God has promised the hypocritical men and women and the disbelievers the fire of Hell, remaining in it. It is sufficient for them. The God has cursed them, and they have a lasting punishment.

At-Tawbah 9:69

كَالَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم كانوا أَشَدَّ مِنكُم قُوَّةً وَأَكثَرَ أَموٰلًا وَأَولٰدًا فَاستَمتَعوا بِخَلٰقِهِم فَاستَمتَعتُم بِخَلٰقِكُم كَمَا استَمتَعَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم بِخَلٰقِهِم وَخُضتُم كَالَّذى خاضوا ۚ أُولٰئِكَ حَبِطَت أَعمٰلُهُم فِى الدُّنيا وَالـٔاخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الخٰسِرونَ

Like those before you, who were stronger than you and had more wealth and children. They enjoyed their share, and you enjoyed your share as those before you enjoyed theirs; you plunged into idle talk as they did. Their deeds have come to nothing in this world and the Hereafter. They are the losers.

At-Tawbah 9:70

أَلَم يَأتِهِم نَبَأُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم قَومِ نوحٍ وَعادٍ وَثَمودَ وَقَومِ إِبرٰهيمَ وَأَصحٰبِ مَديَنَ وَالمُؤتَفِكٰتِ ۚ أَتَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّنٰتِ ۖ فَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظلِمَهُم وَلٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

Has the news of those before them not reached them: the people of Noah, ‘Ad, Thamud, the people of Abraham, the people of Midian, and the overturned towns? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. The God would not wrong them; they were wronging themselves.

At-Tawbah 9:71

وَالمُؤمِنونَ وَالمُؤمِنٰتُ بَعضُهُم أَولِياءُ بَعضٍ ۚ يَأمُرونَ بِالمَعروفِ وَيَنهَونَ عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَيُقيمونَ الصَّلوٰةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكوٰةَ وَيُطيعونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ سَيَرحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ

The believing men and women are guardians of one another. They command what is right, forbid what is wrong, establish prayer, give zakat, and obey The God and His Messenger. The God will have mercy on them. The God is Mighty, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:72

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ المُؤمِنينَ وَالمُؤمِنٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجرى مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهٰرُ خٰلِدينَ فيها وَمَسٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فى جَنّٰتِ عَدنٍ ۚ وَرِضوٰنٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَكبَرُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

The God has promised the believing men and women gardens beneath which rivers flow, remaining in them, and good dwellings in gardens of lasting residence. Approval from The God is greater. That is the great triumph.

At-Tawbah 9:73

يٰأَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ جٰهِدِ الكُفّارَ وَالمُنٰفِقينَ وَاغلُظ عَلَيهِم ۚ وَمَأوىٰهُم جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be firm with them. Their refuge is Hell, an evil destination.

At-Tawbah 9:74

يَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ ما قالوا وَلَقَد قالوا كَلِمَةَ الكُفرِ وَكَفَروا بَعدَ إِسلٰمِهِم وَهَمّوا بِما لَم يَنالوا ۚ وَما نَقَموا إِلّا أَن أَغنىٰهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ فَإِن يَتوبوا يَكُ خَيرًا لَهُم ۖ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوا يُعَذِّبهُمُ اللَّهُ عَذابًا أَليمًا فِى الدُّنيا وَالـٔاخِرَةِ ۚ وَما لَهُم فِى الأَرضِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

They swear by The God that they did not say it, but they did speak the word of disbelief and disbelieved after their submission. They intended what they did not attain. They resented only that The God and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty. If they repent, it is better for them. If they turn away, The God will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no guardian or helper on earth.

At-Tawbah 9:75

وَمِنهُم مَن عٰهَدَ اللَّهَ لَئِن ءاتىٰنا مِن فَضلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الصّٰلِحينَ

Among them are those who pledged to The God, “If He gives us from His bounty, we will surely give charity and be among the righteous.”

At-Tawbah 9:76

فَلَمّا ءاتىٰهُم مِن فَضلِهِ بَخِلوا بِهِ وَتَوَلَّوا وَهُم مُعرِضونَ

When He gave them from His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away in aversion.

At-Tawbah 9:77

فَأَعقَبَهُم نِفاقًا فى قُلوبِهِم إِلىٰ يَومِ يَلقَونَهُ بِما أَخلَفُوا اللَّهَ ما وَعَدوهُ وَبِما كانوا يَكذِبونَ

So He caused hypocrisy to follow in their hearts until the day they meet Him, because they broke what they had promised The God and because they used to lie.

At-Tawbah 9:78

أَلَم يَعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعلَمُ سِرَّهُم وَنَجوىٰهُم وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلّٰمُ الغُيوبِ

Do they not know that The God knows their secrets and their private conversations, and that The God is the Knower of unseen things?

At-Tawbah 9:79

الَّذينَ يَلمِزونَ المُطَّوِّعينَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ فِى الصَّدَقٰتِ وَالَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ إِلّا جُهدَهُم فَيَسخَرونَ مِنهُم ۙ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنهُم وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Those who criticize believers who give charity voluntarily, and those who find nothing beyond their effort, and mock them—The God mocks them, and they have a painful punishment.

At-Tawbah 9:80

استَغفِر لَهُم أَو لا تَستَغفِر لَهُم إِن تَستَغفِر لَهُم سَبعينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُم ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الفٰسِقينَ

Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them. Even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, The God will never forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in The God and His Messenger. The God does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

At-Tawbah 9:81

فَرِحَ المُخَلَّفونَ بِمَقعَدِهِم خِلٰفَ رَسولِ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهوا أَن يُجٰهِدوا بِأَموٰلِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَقالوا لا تَنفِروا فِى الحَرِّ ۗ قُل نارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّا ۚ لَو كانوا يَفقَهونَ

Those left behind rejoiced in their staying behind the Messenger of The God and disliked striving with their wealth and their lives in the way of The God. They said, “Do not go forth in the heat.” Say, “The fire of Hell is hotter,” if only they understood.

At-Tawbah 9:82

فَليَضحَكوا قَليلًا وَليَبكوا كَثيرًا جَزاءً بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

Let them laugh a little and weep much, as recompense for what they used to earn.

At-Tawbah 9:83

فَإِن رَجَعَكَ اللَّهُ إِلىٰ طائِفَةٍ مِنهُم فَاستَـٔذَنوكَ لِلخُروجِ فَقُل لَن تَخرُجوا مَعِىَ أَبَدًا وَلَن تُقٰتِلوا مَعِىَ عَدُوًّا ۖ إِنَّكُم رَضيتُم بِالقُعودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَاقعُدوا مَعَ الخٰلِفينَ

If The God returns you to a group of them and they ask your permission to go out, say, “You will never go out with me, nor will you fight an enemy alongside me. You were content to sit the first time, so sit with those who remain behind.”

At-Tawbah 9:84

وَلا تُصَلِّ عَلىٰ أَحَدٍ مِنهُم ماتَ أَبَدًا وَلا تَقُم عَلىٰ قَبرِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُم كَفَروا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَماتوا وَهُم فٰسِقونَ

Never pray over any of them who dies, nor stand at his grave. They disbelieved in The God and His Messenger and died while defiantly disobedient.

At-Tawbah 9:85

وَلا تُعجِبكَ أَموٰلُهُم وَأَولٰدُهُم ۚ إِنَّما يُريدُ اللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِها فِى الدُّنيا وَتَزهَقَ أَنفُسُهُم وَهُم كٰفِرونَ

Do not let their wealth or their children impress you. The God only intends to punish them through these in this world and for their souls to depart while they are disbelievers.

At-Tawbah 9:86

وَإِذا أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ أَن ءامِنوا بِاللَّهِ وَجٰهِدوا مَعَ رَسولِهِ استَـٔذَنَكَ أُولُوا الطَّولِ مِنهُم وَقالوا ذَرنا نَكُن مَعَ القٰعِدينَ

When a surah is sent down, “Believe in The God and strive alongside His Messenger,” those of means among them ask your permission and say, “Leave us to be with those who sit.”

At-Tawbah 9:87

رَضوا بِأَن يَكونوا مَعَ الخَوالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم فَهُم لا يَفقَهونَ

They were content to be with those who remain behind, and their hearts were sealed, so they do not understand.

At-Tawbah 9:88

لٰكِنِ الرَّسولُ وَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا مَعَهُ جٰهَدوا بِأَموٰلِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم ۚ وَأُولٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الخَيرٰتُ ۖ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

But the Messenger and those who believed with him strove with their wealth and their lives. For them are good things, and they are the successful.

At-Tawbah 9:89

أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم جَنّٰتٍ تَجرى مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهٰرُ خٰلِدينَ فيها ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

The God has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, remaining in them. That is the great triumph.

At-Tawbah 9:90

وَجاءَ المُعَذِّرونَ مِنَ الأَعرابِ لِيُؤذَنَ لَهُم وَقَعَدَ الَّذينَ كَذَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ سَيُصيبُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِنهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Those bringing excuses among the desert Arabs came to be given permission, while those who lied to The God and His Messenger stayed behind. A painful punishment will afflict those among them who disbelieved.

At-Tawbah 9:91

لَيسَ عَلَى الضُّعَفاءِ وَلا عَلَى المَرضىٰ وَلا عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ ما يُنفِقونَ حَرَجٌ إِذا نَصَحوا لِلَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۚ ما عَلَى المُحسِنينَ مِن سَبيلٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

There is no blame upon the weak, the sick, or those who find nothing to spend, if they are sincere toward The God and His Messenger. There is no way against the doers of good. The God is Forgiving, Merciful.

At-Tawbah 9:92

وَلا عَلَى الَّذينَ إِذا ما أَتَوكَ لِتَحمِلَهُم قُلتَ لا أَجِدُ ما أَحمِلُكُم عَلَيهِ تَوَلَّوا وَأَعيُنُهُم تَفيضُ مِنَ الدَّمعِ حَزَنًا أَلّا يَجِدوا ما يُنفِقونَ

Nor upon those who, when they came to you for mounts, you said, “I find nothing on which to mount you.” They turned away with their eyes overflowing with tears, grieving that they could find nothing to spend.

At-Tawbah 9:93

إِنَّمَا السَّبيلُ عَلَى الَّذينَ يَستَـٔذِنونَكَ وَهُم أَغنِياءُ ۚ رَضوا بِأَن يَكونوا مَعَ الخَوالِفِ وَطَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم فَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

The way is only against those who ask your permission while they are rich. They were content to be with those who remain behind, and The God sealed their hearts, so they do not know.

At-Tawbah 9:94

يَعتَذِرونَ إِلَيكُم إِذا رَجَعتُم إِلَيهِم ۚ قُل لا تَعتَذِروا لَن نُؤمِنَ لَكُم قَد نَبَّأَنَا اللَّهُ مِن أَخبارِكُم ۚ وَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُم وَرَسولُهُ ثُمَّ تُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عٰلِمِ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

They will make excuses to you when you return to them. Say, “Make no excuses; we will not believe you. The God has informed us of your news. The God and His Messenger will see your deeds. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

At-Tawbah 9:95

سَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُم إِذَا انقَلَبتُم إِلَيهِم لِتُعرِضوا عَنهُم ۖ فَأَعرِضوا عَنهُم ۖ إِنَّهُم رِجسٌ ۖ وَمَأوىٰهُم جَهَنَّمُ جَزاءً بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

They will swear by The God to you when you return to them, so that you may turn away from them. Turn away from them; they are defilement, and their refuge is Hell, as recompense for what they used to earn.

At-Tawbah 9:96

يَحلِفونَ لَكُم لِتَرضَوا عَنهُم ۖ فَإِن تَرضَوا عَنهُم فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَرضىٰ عَنِ القَومِ الفٰسِقينَ

They swear to you so that you may be pleased with them. Even if you are pleased with them, The God is not pleased with the defiantly disobedient people.

At-Tawbah 9:97

الأَعرابُ أَشَدُّ كُفرًا وَنِفاقًا وَأَجدَرُ أَلّا يَعلَموا حُدودَ ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ رَسولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

The desert Arabs are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what The God has sent down upon His Messenger. The God is Knowing, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:98

وَمِنَ الأَعرابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ ما يُنفِقُ مَغرَمًا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوائِرَ ۚ عَلَيهِم دائِرَةُ السَّوءِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

Among the desert Arabs are those who regard what they spend as a loss and await turns of fortune against you. Upon them is the evil turn. The God is Hearing, Knowing.

At-Tawbah 9:99

وَمِنَ الأَعرابِ مَن يُؤمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الـٔاخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ ما يُنفِقُ قُرُبٰتٍ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَصَلَوٰتِ الرَّسولِ ۚ أَلا إِنَّها قُربَةٌ لَهُم ۚ سَيُدخِلُهُمُ اللَّهُ فى رَحمَتِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Among the desert Arabs are those who believe in The God and the Last Day and regard what they spend as means of nearness to The God and the prayers of the Messenger. Indeed, it is a means of nearness for them. The God will admit them into His mercy. The God is Forgiving, Merciful.

At-Tawbah 9:100

وَالسّٰبِقونَ الأَوَّلونَ مِنَ المُهٰجِرينَ وَالأَنصارِ وَالَّذينَ اتَّبَعوهُم بِإِحسٰنٍ رَضِىَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم وَرَضوا عَنهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُم جَنّٰتٍ تَجرى تَحتَهَا الأَنهٰرُ خٰلِدينَ فيها أَبَدًا ۚ ذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

The first forerunners among the emigrants and the helpers, and those who followed them with excellence—The God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, remaining in them forever. That is the great triumph.

At-Tawbah 9:101

وَمِمَّن حَولَكُم مِنَ الأَعرابِ مُنٰفِقونَ ۖ وَمِن أَهلِ المَدينَةِ ۖ مَرَدوا عَلَى النِّفاقِ لا تَعلَمُهُم ۖ نَحنُ نَعلَمُهُم ۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَرَّتَينِ ثُمَّ يُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عَذابٍ عَظيمٍ

Among the desert Arabs around you are hypocrites, and among the people of Medina as well. They persist in hypocrisy. You do not know them; We know them. We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great punishment.

At-Tawbah 9:102

وَءاخَرونَ اعتَرَفوا بِذُنوبِهِم خَلَطوا عَمَلًا صٰلِحًا وَءاخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَتوبَ عَلَيهِم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Others have acknowledged their sins. They mixed a righteous deed with another that was evil. It may be that The God will turn toward them. The God is Forgiving, Merciful.

At-Tawbah 9:103

خُذ مِن أَموٰلِهِم صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُم وَتُزَكّيهِم بِها وَصَلِّ عَلَيهِم ۖ إِنَّ صَلوٰتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

Take charity from their wealth, purifying them and fostering their growth through it, and pray for them. Your prayer is a source of tranquility for them. The God is Hearing, Knowing.

At-Tawbah 9:104

أَلَم يَعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقبَلُ التَّوبَةَ عَن عِبادِهِ وَيَأخُذُ الصَّدَقٰتِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ

Do they not know that The God accepts repentance from His servants and receives charities, and that The God is the One who repeatedly turns toward them, the Merciful?

At-Tawbah 9:105

وَقُلِ اعمَلوا فَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُم وَرَسولُهُ وَالمُؤمِنونَ ۖ وَسَتُرَدّونَ إِلىٰ عٰلِمِ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

Say, “Act; The God, His Messenger, and the believers will see your deeds. You will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

At-Tawbah 9:106

وَءاخَرونَ مُرجَونَ لِأَمرِ اللَّهِ إِمّا يُعَذِّبُهُم وَإِمّا يَتوبُ عَلَيهِم ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

Others are deferred to the command of The God: He will either punish them or turn toward them. The God is Knowing, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:107

وَالَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا مَسجِدًا ضِرارًا وَكُفرًا وَتَفريقًا بَينَ المُؤمِنينَ وَإِرصادًا لِمَن حارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ مِن قَبلُ ۚ وَلَيَحلِفُنَّ إِن أَرَدنا إِلَّا الحُسنىٰ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَشهَدُ إِنَّهُم لَكٰذِبونَ

Those who took a mosque for harm, disbelief, division among the believers, and as an outpost for one who had fought The God and His Messenger before—they will surely swear, “We intended only good.” The God bears witness that they are liars.

At-Tawbah 9:108

لا تَقُم فيهِ أَبَدًا ۚ لَمَسجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقوىٰ مِن أَوَّلِ يَومٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقومَ فيهِ ۚ فيهِ رِجالٌ يُحِبّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّروا ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ المُطَّهِّرينَ

Never stand in it. A mosque founded on mindfulness from the first day has a greater right that you stand in it. In it are men who love to purify themselves. The God loves those who purify themselves.

At-Tawbah 9:109

أَفَمَن أَسَّسَ بُنيٰنَهُ عَلىٰ تَقوىٰ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضوٰنٍ خَيرٌ أَم مَن أَسَّسَ بُنيٰنَهُ عَلىٰ شَفا جُرُفٍ هارٍ فَانهارَ بِهِ فى نارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الظّٰلِمينَ

Is one who founded his building upon mindfulness of The God and His approval better, or one who founded his building on the edge of a crumbling bank, which collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? The God does not guide the unjust people.

At-Tawbah 9:110

لا يَزالُ بُنيٰنُهُمُ الَّذى بَنَوا ريبَةً فى قُلوبِهِم إِلّا أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلوبُهُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

The building they built will remain a source of doubt in their hearts, unless their hearts are torn apart. The God is Knowing, Wise.

At-Tawbah 9:111

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشتَرىٰ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ أَنفُسَهُم وَأَموٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الجَنَّةَ ۚ يُقٰتِلونَ فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقتُلونَ وَيُقتَلونَ ۖ وَعدًا عَلَيهِ حَقًّا فِى التَّورىٰةِ وَالإِنجيلِ وَالقُرءانِ ۚ وَمَن أَوفىٰ بِعَهدِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَاستَبشِروا بِبَيعِكُمُ الَّذى بايَعتُم بِهِ ۚ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

The God has purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth in exchange for the Garden. They fight in the way of The God, killing and being killed—a true promise binding upon Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur’an. Who is more faithful to his covenant than The God? Rejoice in the bargain you have made. That is the great triumph.

At-Tawbah 9:112

التّٰئِبونَ العٰبِدونَ الحٰمِدونَ السّٰئِحونَ الرّٰكِعونَ السّٰجِدونَ الـٔامِرونَ بِالمَعروفِ وَالنّاهونَ عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَالحٰفِظونَ لِحُدودِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ المُؤمِنينَ

Those who repent, worship, praise, travel, bow, prostrate, command what is right, forbid what is wrong, and guard the limits of The God. Give good news to the believers.

At-Tawbah 9:113

ما كانَ لِلنَّبِىِّ وَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا أَن يَستَغفِروا لِلمُشرِكينَ وَلَو كانوا أُولى قُربىٰ مِن بَعدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُم أَنَّهُم أَصحٰبُ الجَحيمِ

It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the associators, even if they are relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the Blaze.

At-Tawbah 9:114

وَما كانَ استِغفارُ إِبرٰهيمَ لِأَبيهِ إِلّا عَن مَوعِدَةٍ وَعَدَها إِيّاهُ فَلَمّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنهُ ۚ إِنَّ إِبرٰهيمَ لَأَوّٰهٌ حَليمٌ

Abraham’s seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. When it became clear to him that he was an enemy of The God, he disowned him. Abraham was much given to sighing, forbearing.

At-Tawbah 9:115

وَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَومًا بَعدَ إِذ هَدىٰهُم حَتّىٰ يُبَيِّنَ لَهُم ما يَتَّقونَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىءٍ عَليمٌ

The God would not lead a people astray after guiding them until He makes clear to them what they should guard against. The God knows everything.

At-Tawbah 9:116

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ مُلكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ يُحيۦ وَيُميتُ ۚ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

To The God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. Apart from The God, you have no guardian or helper.

At-Tawbah 9:117

لَقَد تابَ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ وَالمُهٰجِرينَ وَالأَنصارِ الَّذينَ اتَّبَعوهُ فى ساعَةِ العُسرَةِ مِن بَعدِ ما كادَ يَزيغُ قُلوبُ فَريقٍ مِنهُم ثُمَّ تابَ عَلَيهِم ۚ إِنَّهُ بِهِم رَءوفٌ رَحيمٌ

The God has turned toward the Prophet, the emigrants, and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship, after the hearts of a group of them nearly swerved. Then He turned toward them. He is Kind, Merciful toward them.

At-Tawbah 9:118

وَعَلَى الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذينَ خُلِّفوا حَتّىٰ إِذا ضاقَت عَلَيهِمُ الأَرضُ بِما رَحُبَت وَضاقَت عَلَيهِم أَنفُسُهُم وَظَنّوا أَن لا مَلجَأَ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلّا إِلَيهِ ثُمَّ تابَ عَلَيهِم لِيَتوبوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ

And toward the three who were left behind, until the earth, despite its breadth, became narrow for them, and their own souls became narrow for them, and they knew there was no refuge from The God except in Him. Then He turned toward them so that they might repent. The God is the One who repeatedly turns toward them, the Merciful.

At-Tawbah 9:119

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكونوا مَعَ الصّٰدِقينَ

You who believe, be mindful of The God and be with the truthful.

At-Tawbah 9:120

ما كانَ لِأَهلِ المَدينَةِ وَمَن حَولَهُم مِنَ الأَعرابِ أَن يَتَخَلَّفوا عَن رَسولِ اللَّهِ وَلا يَرغَبوا بِأَنفُسِهِم عَن نَفسِهِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم لا يُصيبُهُم ظَمَأٌ وَلا نَصَبٌ وَلا مَخمَصَةٌ فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَلا يَطَـٔونَ مَوطِئًا يَغيظُ الكُفّارَ وَلا يَنالونَ مِن عَدُوٍّ نَيلًا إِلّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِ عَمَلٌ صٰلِحٌ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُضيعُ أَجرَ المُحسِنينَ

It is not for the people of Medina and the desert Arabs around them to stay behind the Messenger of The God or prefer their own lives to his. No thirst, weariness, or hunger afflicts them in the way of The God, nor do they tread any ground that angers the disbelievers, nor gain anything against an enemy, without a righteous deed being recorded for them because of it. The God does not let the reward of the doers of good be lost.

At-Tawbah 9:121

وَلا يُنفِقونَ نَفَقَةً صَغيرَةً وَلا كَبيرَةً وَلا يَقطَعونَ وادِيًا إِلّا كُتِبَ لَهُم لِيَجزِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَحسَنَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

They spend no small or great amount, nor cross any valley, without it being recorded for them, so that The God may reward them for the best of what they used to do.

At-Tawbah 9:122

وَما كانَ المُؤمِنونَ لِيَنفِروا كافَّةً ۚ فَلَولا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرقَةٍ مِنهُم طائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهوا فِى الدّينِ وَلِيُنذِروا قَومَهُم إِذا رَجَعوا إِلَيهِم لَعَلَّهُم يَحذَرونَ

It is not for the believers to go forth all together. Why, then, does a group from every division of them not go forth to gain understanding in religion and warn their people when they return to them, so that they may beware?

At-Tawbah 9:123

يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا قٰتِلُوا الَّذينَ يَلونَكُم مِنَ الكُفّارِ وَليَجِدوا فيكُم غِلظَةً ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ المُتَّقينَ

You who believe, fight those of the disbelievers who are near you, and let them find firmness in you. Know that The God is with the mindful.

At-Tawbah 9:124

وَإِذا ما أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ فَمِنهُم مَن يَقولُ أَيُّكُم زادَتهُ هٰذِهِ إيمٰنًا ۚ فَأَمَّا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا فَزادَتهُم إيمٰنًا وَهُم يَستَبشِرونَ

When a surah is sent down, some of them say, “Which of you has this increased in faith?” As for those who believe, it has increased their faith, and they rejoice.

At-Tawbah 9:125

وَأَمَّا الَّذينَ فى قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ فَزادَتهُم رِجسًا إِلىٰ رِجسِهِم وَماتوا وَهُم كٰفِرونَ

As for those in whose hearts is disease, it has added defilement to their defilement, and they died while disbelievers.

At-Tawbah 9:126

أَوَلا يَرَونَ أَنَّهُم يُفتَنونَ فى كُلِّ عامٍ مَرَّةً أَو مَرَّتَينِ ثُمَّ لا يَتوبونَ وَلا هُم يَذَّكَّرونَ

Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year? Yet they do not repent or take heed.

At-Tawbah 9:127

وَإِذا ما أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ نَظَرَ بَعضُهُم إِلىٰ بَعضٍ هَل يَرىٰكُم مِن أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفوا ۚ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُم قَومٌ لا يَفقَهونَ

When a surah is sent down, they look at one another: “Does anyone see you?” Then they turn away. The God has turned their hearts away because they are people who do not understand.

At-Tawbah 9:128

لَقَد جاءَكُم رَسولٌ مِن أَنفُسِكُم عَزيزٌ عَلَيهِ ما عَنِتُّم حَريصٌ عَلَيكُم بِالمُؤمِنينَ رَءوفٌ رَحيمٌ

A messenger from among yourselves has come to you. Your suffering weighs heavily upon him; he is deeply concerned for you, kind and merciful toward the believers.

At-Tawbah 9:129

فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقُل حَسبِىَ اللَّهُ لا إِلٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرشِ العَظيمِ

If they turn away, say, “The God is sufficient for me. There is no god except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the great Throne.”
