اِنَّ اللہَ يَاْمُرُكُمْ اَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْاَمٰنٰتِ اِلٰۗى اَھْلِھَا۝۰ۙ وَاِذَا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ اَنْ تَحْكُمُوْا بِالْعَدْلِ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُمْ بِہٖ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ كَانَ سَمِيْعًۢا بَصِيْرًا۝۵۸
Inna Allaha yamurukum an tuaddoo alamanati ila ahliha waitha hakamtum bayna alnnasi an tahkumoo bialAAadli inna Allaha niAAimma yaAAithukum bihi inna Allaha kana sameeAAan baseeran

English

Ahmed Ali

God enjoins that you render to the owners what is held in trust with you, and that when you judge among the people do so equitably. Noble are the counsels of God, and God hears all and sees everything.

58

يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۗا اَطِيْعُوا اللہَ وَاَطِيْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَاُولِي الْاَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِيْ شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوْہُ اِلَى اللہِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللہِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَاَحْسَنُ تَاْوِيْلًا۝۵۹ۧ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ateeAAoo Allaha waateeAAoo alrrasoola waolee alamri minkum fain tanazaAAtum fee shayin faruddoohu ila Allahi waalrrasooli in kuntum tuminoona biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri thalika khayrun waahsanu taweelan

English

Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, obey God and the Prophet and those in authority among you; and if you are at variance over something, refer it to God and the Messenger, if you believe in God and the Last Day. This is good for you and the best of settlement.

59

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ يَزْعُمُوْنَ اَنَّھُمْ اٰمَنُوْا بِمَاۗ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمَاۗ اُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يَّتَحَاكَمُوْۗا اِلَى الطَّاغُوْتِ وَقَدْ اُمِرُوْۗا اَنْ يَّكْفُرُوْا بِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَيُرِيْدُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَنْ يُّضِلَّھُمْ ضَلٰلًۢا بَعِيْدًا۝۶۰
Alam tara ila allatheena yazAAumoona annahum amanoo bima onzila ilayka wama onzila min qablika yureedoona an yatahakamoo ila alttaghooti waqad omiroo an yakfuroo bihi wayureedu alshshaytanu an yudillahum dalalan baAAeedan

English

Ahmed Ali

Have you never seen those who aver they believe in what has been revealed to you and had been to others before you, yet desire to turn for judgement to evil powers, even though they have been commanded to disbelieve in them? Satan only wishes to lead them astray, far away.

60

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَھُمْ تَعَالَوْا اِلٰى مَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ وَاِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ رَاَيْتَ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْكَ صُدُوْدًا۝۶۱ۚ
Waitha qeela lahum taAAalaw ila ma anzala Allahu waila alrrasooli raayta almunafiqeena yasuddoona AAanka sudoodan

English

Ahmed Ali

When they are told: "Come to that which God has revealed, and to the Prophet," you should see the hypocrites, how they hesitate and turn their faces away.

61

فَكَيْفَ اِذَاۗ اَصَابَتْھُمْ مُّصِيْبَۃٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْہِمْ ثُمَّ جَاۗءُوْكَ يَحْلِفُوْنَ۝۰ۤۖ بِاللہِ اِنْ اَرَدْنَاۗ اِلَّاۗ اِحْسَانًا وَّتَوْفِيْقًا۝۶۲
Fakayfa itha asabathum museebatun bima qaddamat aydeehim thumma jaooka yahlifoona biAllahi in aradna illa ihsanan watawfeeqan

English

Ahmed Ali

How shall it be when they suffer misfortunes for their own misdeeds? Then they will come to you swearing by God and saying: "We wish for nothing but good and amity."

62

اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْلَمُ اللہُ مَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِہِمْ۝۰ۤ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْھُمْ وَعِظْھُمْ وَقُلْ لَّھُمْ فِيْۗ اَنْفُسِہِمْ قَوْلًۢا بَلِيْغًا۝۶۳
Olaika allatheena yaAAlamu Allahu ma fee quloobihim faaAArid AAanhum waAAithhum waqul lahum fee anfusihim qawlan baleeghan

English

Ahmed Ali

The secrets of the hearts of these people are well known to God. So leave them alone, and counsel them and speak to them eloquent words that would touch their very souls.

63

وَمَاۗ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِـاِذْنِ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ اَنَّھُمْ اِذْ ظَّلَمُوْۗا اَنْفُسَھُمْ جَاۗءُوْكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللہَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَھُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ لَوَجَدُوا اللہَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِـيْمًا۝۶۴
Wama arsalna min rasoolin illa liyutaAAa biithni Allahi walaw annahum ith thalamoo anfusahum jaooka faistaghfaroo Allaha waistaghfara lahumu alrrasoolu lawajadoo Allaha tawwaban raheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

We have sent no apostle but that he should be obeyed by the will of God. If they had come to you after wronging themselves and asked forgiveness of God, and you had also asked forgiveness for them, they would surely have found God forgiving and merciful.

64

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَتّٰي يُحَكِّمُوْكَ فِيْمَا شَجَــرَ بَيْنَھُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوْا فِيْۗ اَنْفُسِہِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِــيْمًا۝۶۵
Fala warabbika la yuminoona hatta yuhakkimooka feema shajara baynahum thumma la yajidoo fee anfusihim harajan mimma qadayta wayusallimoo tasleeman

English

Ahmed Ali

Indeed, by your Lord, they will not believe till they make you adjudge in their disputes and find no constraint in their minds about your decisions and accept them with full acquiescence.

65

وَلَوْ اَنَّا كَتَبْنَا عَلَيْہِمْ اَنِ اقْتُلُوْۗا اَنْفُسَكُمْ اَوِ اخْرُجُوْا مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ مَّا فَعَلُوْہُ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ مِّنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ اَنَّھُمْ فَعَلُوْا مَا يُوْعَظُوْنَ بِہٖ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّھُمْ وَاَشَدَّ تَثْبِيْتًا۝۶۶ۙ
Walaw anna katabna AAalayhim ani oqtuloo anfusakum awi okhrujoo min diyarikum ma faAAaloohu illa qaleelun minhum walaw annahum faAAaloo ma yooAAathoona bihi lakana khayran lahum waashadda tathbeetan

English

Ahmed Ali

If We had commanded them to lay down their lives and to go forth from their homes, only a few would have obeyed; though had they followed what they had been commanded it would surely have been good for them and the strengthening of their faith.

66

وَّاِذًا لَّاٰتَيْنٰھُمْ مِّنْ لَّدُنَّاۗ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا۝۶۷ۙ
Waithan laataynahum min ladunna ajran AAatheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

And We would have bestowed on them a great reward of Our own,
