٣٣ - ٱلْأَحْزَاب

33 - Al-Ahzab

قَدْ يَعْلَمُ اللہُ الْمُعَوِّقِيْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَالْقَاۗىِٕلِيْنَ لِاِخْوَانِہِمْ ہَلُمَّ اِلَيْنَا۝۰ۚ وَلَا يَاْتُوْنَ الْبَاْسَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا۝۱۸ۙ
Qad yaAAlamu Allahu almuAAawwiqeena minkum waalqaileena liikhwanihim halumma ilayna wala yatoona albasa illa qaleelan

English

Ahmed Ali

Surely God knows who among you obstruct, and those who say to their brethren: "Come to us," and go to battle but seldom,

18

اَشِحَّۃً عَلَيْكُمْ۝۰ۚۖ فَاِذَا جَاۗءَ الْخَوْفُ رَاَيْتَہُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ تَدُوْرُ اَعْيُنُہُمْ كَالَّذِيْ يُغْشٰى عَلَيْہِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ۝۰ۚ فَاِذَا ذَہَبَ الْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوْكُمْ بِاَلْسِـنَۃٍ حِدَادٍ اَشِحَّۃً عَلَي الْخَــيْرِ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا فَاَحْبَطَ اللہُ اَعْمَالَہُمْ۝۰ۭ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَي اللہِ يَسِيْرًا۝۱۹
Ashihhatan AAalaykum faitha jaa alkhawfu raaytahum yanthuroona ilayka tadooru aAAyunuhum kaallathee yughsha AAalayhi mina almawti faitha thahaba alkhawfu salaqookum bialsinatin hidadin ashihhatan AAala alkhayri olaika lam yuminoo faahbata Allahu aAAmalahum wakana thalika AAala Allahi yaseeran

English

Ahmed Ali

Being chary of helping you. But when danger appears you will find them looking at you with eyes turning like a man's in the swoon of death. Yet when the danger is past they lash you with sharp tongues, covetous of the best (of booty). Such as these have not come to belief. So God nullifies whatever they have done. This is how (the innate law of) God works inevitably.

19

يَحْسَبُوْنَ الْاَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْہَبُوْا۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ يَّاْتِ الْاَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوْا لَوْ اَنَّہُمْ بَادُوْنَ فِي الْاَعْرَابِ يَسْاَلُوْنَ عَنْ اَنْۢبَاۗىِٕكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ كَانُوْا فِيْكُمْ مَّا قٰتَلُوْۗا اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا۝۲۰ۧ
Yahsaboona alahzaba lam yathhaboo wain yati alahzabu yawaddoo law annahum badoona fee alaAArabi yasaloona AAan anbaikum walaw kanoo feekum ma qataloo illa qaleelan

English

Ahmed Ali

They think the allied tribes have not withdrawn; and if the allied tribes had advanced they would have wished that they were rather with the Arabs of the desert asking news of you; and had they been among you they would have fought but just a little.

20

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيْ رَسُوْلِ اللہِ اُسْوَۃٌ حَسَنَۃٌ لِّمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوا اللہَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللہَ كَثِيْرًا۝۲۱ۭ
Laqad kana lakum fee rasooli Allahi oswatun hasanatun liman kana yarjoo Allaha waalyawma alakhira wathakara Allaha katheeran

English

Ahmed Ali

You have indeed a noble paradigm in the Apostle of God for him who fears God and the Day of Resurrection, and remembers God frequently.

21

وَلَمَّا رَاَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الْاَحْزَابَ۝۰ۙ قَالُوْا ھٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللہُ وَرَسُوْلُہٗ وَ صَدَقَ اللہُ وَرَسُوْلُہٗ۝۰ۡوَمَا زَادَہُمْ اِلَّاۗ اِيْمَانًا وَّتَسْلِــيْمًا۝۲۲ۭ
Walamma raa almuminoona alahzaba qaloo hatha ma waAAadana Allahu warasooluhu wasadaqa Allahu warasooluhu wama zadahum illa eemanan watasleeman

English

Ahmed Ali

When the faithful saw (the armies of) the allied tribes, they said: "This is what God and His Apostle had promised us; and God and His Apostle say the truth;" and this enhanced their faith and obedience.

22

مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاہَدُوا اللہَ عَلَيْہِ۝۰ۚ فَمِنْہُمْ مَّنْ قَضٰى نَحْبَہٗ وَمِنْہُمْ مَّنْ يَّنْتَظِرُ۝۰ۡۖ وَمَا بَدَّلُوْا تَبْدِيْلًا۝۲۳ۙ
Mina almumineena rijalun sadaqoo ma AAahadoo Allaha AAalayhi faminhum man qada nahbahu waminhum man yantathiru wama baddaloo tabdeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

There are men among the faithful who have been true to the covenant they had made with God; and some of them fulfilled their vows (by dying in His cause), and some still wait (prepared for death), and stand firm,

23

لِّيَجْزِيَ اللہُ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ بِصِدْقِہِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ اِنْ شَاۗءَ اَوْ يَتُوْبَ عَلَيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا۝۲۴ۚ
Liyajziya Allahu alssadiqeena bisidqihim wayuAAaththiba almunafiqeena in shaa aw yatooba AAalayhim inna Allaha kana ghafooran raheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

That God may recompense the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites or relent towards them, as He will. God is surely forgiving and kind.

24

وَرَدَّ اللہُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِغَيْظِہِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوْا خَيْرًا۝۰ۭ وَكَفَى اللہُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الْقِتَالَ۝۰ۭ وَكَانَ اللہُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيْزًا۝۲۵ۚ
Waradda Allahu allatheena kafaroo bighaythihim lam yanaloo khayran wakafa Allahu almumineena alqitala wakana Allahu qawiyyan AAazeezan

English

Ahmed Ali

God drove the unbelievers back in their fury, and they gained no advantage. God was sufficient (to help) the believers in the battle. God is all-powerful and all-mighty.

25

وَاَنْزَلَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَاہَرُوْہُمْ مِّنْ اَہْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مِنْ صَيَاصِيْہِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِہِمُ الرُّعْبَ فَرِيْقًا تَقْتُلُوْنَ وَتَاْسِرُوْنَ فَرِيْقًا۝۲۶ۚ
Waanzala allatheena thaharoohum min ahli alkitabi min sayaseehim waqathafa fee quloobihimu alrruAAba fareeqan taqtuloona watasiroona fareeqan

English

Ahmed Ali

He made those of the people of the Book who had helped (the tribes) descend from their forts, and filled their hearts with dread, so that you killed some and made many captive;

26

وَاَوْرَثَكُمْ اَرْضَہُمْ وَدِيَارَہُمْ وَ اَمْوَالَہُمْ وَاَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَـــــُٔـوْہَا۝۰ۭ وَكَانَ اللہُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرًا۝۲۷ۧ
Waawrathakum ardahum wadiyarahum waamwalahum waardan lam tataooha wakana Allahu AAala kulli shayin qadeeran

English

Ahmed Ali

And He made you inherit their lands and mansions and wealth, and a country you had not traversed before, for God has power over everything.
