يَسْــَٔـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْاَہِلَّۃِ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ہِىَ مَوَاقِيْتُ لِلنَّاسِ وَالْحَجِّ۝۰ۭ وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِاَنْ تَاْتُوا الْبُيُوْتَ مِنْ ظُہُوْرِھَا وَلٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقٰى۝۰ۚ وَاْتُوا الْبُيُوْتَ مِنْ اَبْوَابِہَا۝۰۠ وَاتَّقُوا اللہَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ۝۱۸۹

English

Ahmed Ali

They ask you of the new moons. Say: "These are periods set for men (to reckon) time, and for pilgrimage." Piety does not lie in entering the house through the back door, for the pious man is he who follows the straight path. Enter the house through the main gate, and obey God. You may haply find success.

189

وَقَاتِلُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ الَّذِيْنَ يُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوْا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَ۝۱۹۰
Waqatiloo fee sabeeli Allahi allatheena yuqatiloonakum wala taAAtadoo inna Allaha la yuhibbu almuAAtadeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Fight those in the way of God who fight you, but do not be aggressive: God does not like aggressors.

190

وَاقْتُلُوْھُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوْھُمْ وَاَخْرِجُوْھُمْ مِّنْ حَيْثُ اَخْرَجُوْكُمْ وَالْفِتْنَۃُ اَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تُقٰتِلُوْھُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتّٰى يُقٰتِلُوْكُمْ فِيْہِ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ قٰتَلُوْكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوْھُمْ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَاۗءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝۱۹۱
Waoqtuloohum haythu thaqiftumoohum waakhrijoohum min haythu akhrajookum waalfitnatu ashaddu mina alqatli wala tuqatiloohum AAinda almasjidi alharami hatta yuqatilookum feehi fain qatalookum faoqtuloohum kathalika jazao alkafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

And fight those (who fight you) wheresoever you find them, and expel them from the place they had turned you out from. Oppression is worse than killing. Do not fight them by the Holy Mosque unless they fight you there. If they do, then slay them: Such is the requital for unbelievers.

191

فَاِنِ انْــتَہَوْا فَاِنَّ اللہَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۱۹۲
Faini intahaw fainna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

But if they desist, God is forgiving and kind.

192

وَقٰتِلُوْھُمْ حَتّٰى لَا تَكُوْنَ فِتْنَۃٌ وَّيَكُوْنَ الدِّيْنُ لِلہِ۝۰ۭ فَاِنِ انْتَہَوْا فَلَا عُدْوَانَ اِلَّا عَلَي الظّٰلِـمِيْنَ۝۱۹۳
Waqatiloohum hatta la takoona fitnatun wayakoona alddeenu lillahi faini intahaw fala AAudwana illa AAala alththalimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Fight them till sedition comes to end, and the law of God (prevails). If they desist, then cease to be hostile, except against those who oppress.

193

اَلشَّہْرُ الْحَرَامُ بِالشَّہْرِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْحُرُمٰتُ قِصَاصٌ۝۰ۭ فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوْا عَلَيْہِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدٰى عَلَيْكُمْ۝۰۠ وَاتَّقُوا اللہَ وَاعْلَمُوْۗا اَنَّ اللہَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ۝۱۹۴
Alshshahru alharamu bialshshahri alharami waalhurumatu qisasun famani iAAtada AAalaykum faiAAtadoo AAalayhi bimithli ma iAAtada AAalaykum waittaqoo Allaha waiAAlamoo anna Allaha maAAa almuttaqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

(Fighting during) the holy month (if the sanctity) of the holy month (is violated) is (just) retribution. So if you are oppressed, oppress those who oppress you to the same degree, and fear God, and know that God is with those who are pious and follow the right path.

194

وَاَنْفِقُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ وَلَا تُلْقُوْا بِاَيْدِيْكُمْ اِلَى التَّہْلُكَۃِ۝۰ۚۖۛ وَاَحْسِنُوْا۝۰ۚۛ اِنَّ اللہَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ۝۱۹۵
Waanfiqoo fee sabeeli Allahi wala tulqoo biaydeekum ila alttahlukati waahsinoo inna Allaha yuhibbu almuhsineena

English

Ahmed Ali

Spend in the way of God, and do not seek destruction at your own hands. So do good for God loves those who do good.

195

English

Ahmed Ali

Perform the pilgrimage and holy visit ('Umra, to Makkah) in the service of God. But if you are prevented, send an offering which you can afford as sacrifice, and do not shave your heads until the offering has reached the place of sacrifice. But if you are sick or have ailment of the scalp (preventing the shaving of hair), then offer expiation by fasting or else giving alms or a sacrificial offering. When you have security, then those of you who wish to perform the holy visit along with the pilgrimage, should make a sacrifice according to their means. But he who has nothing, should fast for three days during the pilgrimage and seven on return, completing ten. This applies to him whose family does not live near the Holy Mosque. Have fear of God, and remember that God is severe in punishment.

196

اَلْحَجُّ اَشْہُرٌ مَّعْلُوْمٰتٌ۝۰ۚ فَمَنْ فَرَضَ فِيْہِنَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوْقَ۝۰ۙ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي الْحَجِّ۝۰ۭ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَيْرٍ يَّعْلَمْہُ اؙ۝۰ۭؔ وَتَزَوَّدُوْا فَاِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوٰى۝۰ۡوَاتَّقُوْنِ يٰۗاُولِي الْاَلْبَابِ۝۱۹۷

English

Ahmed Ali

Known are the months of pilgrimage. If one resolves to perform the pilgrimage in these months, let him not indulge in concupiscence, sin or quarrel. And the good you do shall be known to God. Provide for the journey, and the best of provisions is piety. O men of understanding, obey Me.

197

لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَبْتَغُوْا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ۝۰ۭ فَاِذَاۗ اَفَضْتُمْ مِّنْ عَرَفٰتٍ فَاذْكُرُوا اللہَ عِنْدَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ۝۰۠ وَاذْكُرُوْہُ كَـمَا ھَدٰىكُمْ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِہٖ لَمِنَ الضَّاۗلِّيْنَ۝۱۹۸
Laysa AAalaykum junahun an tabtaghoo fadlan min rabbikum faitha afadtum min AAarafatin faothkuroo Allaha AAinda almashAAari alharami waothkuroohu kama hadakum wain kuntum min qablihi lamina alddalleena

English

Ahmed Ali

It is no sin to seek the favours of your Lord (by trading). When you start from 'Arafat in a concourse, remember God at the monument that is sacred (al-Mash'ar al-haram), and remember Him as He has shown you the way, for in the olden days you we're a people astray.
