اِذْ تُصْعِدُوْنَ وَلَا تَلْوٗنَ عَلٰۗي اَحَدٍ وَّالرَّسُوْلُ يَدْعُوْكُمْ فِيْۗ اُخْرٰىكُمْ فَاَثَابَكُمْ غَمًّۢا بِغَمٍّ لِّكَيْلَا تَحْزَنُوْا عَلٰي مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا مَاۗ اَصَابَكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۵۳

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember, as you were rushing up (the hill) without turning back to look, though the Prophet was calling you from the rear, He requited you with anguish for an anguish that you do not fret for missed opportunity and what befell you, for God is aware of all that you do,

153

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ اَمَنَۃً نُّعَاسًا يَّغْشٰى طَاۗىِٕفَۃً مِّنْكُمْ۝۰ۙ وَطَاۗىِٕفَۃٌ قَدْ اَہَمَّـتْھُمْ اَنْفُسُھُمْ يَظُنُّوْنَ بِاللہِ غَيْرَ الْحَـقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَاہِلِيَّۃِ۝۰ۭ يَقُوْلُوْنَ ھَلْ لَّنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَمْرَ كُلَّہٗ لِلہِ۝۰ۭ يُخْفُوْنَ فِيْۗ اَنْفُسِھِمْ مَّا لَا يُبْدُوْنَ لَكَ۝۰ۭ يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ شَيْءٌ مَّا قُتِلْنَا ھٰہُنَا۝۰ۭ قُلْ لَّوْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ بُيُوْتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِيْنَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْہِمُ الْقَتْلُ اِلٰى مَضَاجِعِھِمْ۝۰ۚ وَلِــيَـبْتَلِيَ اللہُ مَا فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ وَلِـيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ۝۱۵۴

English

Ahmed Ali

Then after affliction He Sent you a drowsiness as comes after security, overwhelming some among you, and making some anxious for themselves, and made them think thoughts of pagan ignorance; and they said: "Have we a say in any affair?" Say: "All affairs rest with God." They hide in their hearts what they do not disclose to you. They say: "If we had a say in the affair we would not have been killed in this place." Tell them: "Even had you stayed at home, those of you who were ordained to fight would have gone to their place of (eternal) rest. God had to try them to bring out what they concealed in their breasts, and to bring out the secrets of their hearts, for God knows your innermost thoughts.

154

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعٰنِ۝۰ۙ اِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّھُمُ الشَّـيْطٰنُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوْا۝۰ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللہُ عَنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِيْمٌ۝۱۵۵ۧ
Inna allatheena tawallaw minkum yawma iltaqa aljamAAani innama istazallahumu alshshaytanu bibaAAdi ma kasaboo walaqad AAafa Allahu AAanhum inna Allaha ghafoorun haleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

All those among you who turned their backs on the day the two armies clashed (at 'Uhud) were surely induced by Satan to fail in their duty because of their sinful deeds. But God has already forgiven them, for God is forgiving and kind.

155

يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَقَالُوْا لِاِخْوَانِھِمْ اِذَا ضَرَبُوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ اَوْ كَانُوْا غُزًّى لَّوْ كَانُوْا عِنْدَنَا مَا مَاتُوْا وَمَا قُتِلُوْا۝۰ۚ لِيَجْعَلَ اللہُ ذٰلِكَ حَسْرَۃً فِيْ قُلُوْبِھِمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ۝۱۵۶
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la takoonoo kaallatheena kafaroo waqaloo liikhwanihim itha daraboo fee alardi aw kanoo ghuzzan law kanoo AAindana ma matoo wama qutiloo liyajAAala Allahu thalika hasratan fee quloobihim waAllahu yuhyee wayumeetu waAllahu bima taAAmaloona baseerun

English

Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, do not be like those who deny, and say of their brethren (who died) travelling in the land or fighting: "Had they stayed with us here they would not have died or been killed." This happened so that God may fill their hearts with grief. God is the giver of life and death and sees all that you do.

156

وَلَىِٕنْ قُتِلْتُمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ اَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَۃٌ مِّنَ اللہِ وَرَحْمَۃٌ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُوْنَ۝۱۵۷
Walain qutiltum fee sabeeli Allahi aw muttum lamaghfiratun mina Allahi warahmatun khayrun mimma yajmaAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

If you are killed in the cause of God or you die, the forgiveness and mercy of God are better than all that you amass.

157

وَلَىِٕنْ مُّتُّمْ اَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَاِالَى اللہِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ۝۱۵۸
Walain muttum aw qutiltum laila Allahi tuhsharoona

English

Ahmed Ali

And if you die or are killed, even so it is to God that you will return.

158

فَبِمَا رَحْمَۃٍ مِّنَ اللہِ لِنْتَ لَھُمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِيْظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوْا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ۝۰۠ فَاعْفُ عَنْھُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَھُمْ وَشَاوِرْھُمْ فِي الْاَمْرِ۝۰ۚ فَاِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَي اؘ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِيْنَ۝۱۵۹
Fabima rahmatin mina Allahi linta lahum walaw kunta faththan ghaleetha alqalbi lainfaddoo min hawlika faoAAfu AAanhum waistaghfir lahum washawirhum fee alamri faitha AAazamta fatawakkal AAala Allahi inna Allaha yuhibbu almutawakkileena

English

Ahmed Ali

It was through God's mercy that you dealt with them gently; for had you been stern and hard of heart they would surely have broken away from you. So pardon them and pray that forgiveness be theirs, and seek their counsel in all affairs, And when you have come to a decision place your trust in God alone, for He loves those who place their trust in Him.

159

اِنْ يَّنْصُرْكُمُ اللہُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ يَّخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَعَلَي اللہِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۱۶۰
In yansurkumu Allahu fala ghaliba lakum wain yakhthulkum faman tha allathee yansurukum min baAAdihi waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almuminoona

English

Ahmed Ali

If God is there to help you none will overcome you; and if He forsake you, who will help you other than Him? So only in God should the faithful place their trust.

160

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ اَنْ يَّغُلَّ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّغْلُلْ يَاْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَۃِ۝۰ۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفّٰي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَھُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۶۱
Wama kana linabiyyin an yaghulla waman yaghlul yati bima ghalla yawma alqiyamati thumma tuwaffa kullu nafsin ma kasabat wahum la yuthlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

It is not for a prophet to be false; and whoever is false will indeed bring his falsehood with him on the Day of Reckoning when each will receive his reward without favour or wrong.

161

اَفَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَ اللہِ كَمَنْۢ بَاۗءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ اللہِ وَمَاْوٰىہُ جَہَنَّمُ۝۰ۭ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ۝۱۶۲
Afamani ittabaAAa ridwana Allahi kaman baa bisakhatin mina Allahi wamawahu jahannamu wabisa almaseeru

English

Ahmed Ali

Is a man who has followed the pleasure of God the same as he who has incurred His wrath, whose abode is surely Hell, a dreadful place?
