فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ الَّذِيْنَ يَشْرُوْنَ الْحَيٰوۃَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْاٰخِرَۃِ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يُّقَاتِلْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ فَيُقْتَلْ اَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيْہِ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا۝۷۴
Falyuqatil fee sabeeli Allahi allatheena yashroona alhayata alddunya bialakhirati waman yuqatil fee sabeeli Allahi fayuqtal aw yaghlib fasawfa nuteehi ajran AAatheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who barter the life of this world for the next should fight in the way of God. And We shall bestow on him who fights in the way of God, whether he is killed or is victorious, a glorious reward.

74

وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاۗءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَاۗ اَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ ھٰذِہِ الْقَرْيَۃِ الظَّالِمِ اَہْلُھَا۝۰ۚ وَاجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيًّا۝۰ۚۙ وَّاجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيْرًا۝۷۵ۭ
Wama lakum la tuqatiloona fee sabeeli Allahi waalmustadAAafeena mina alrrijali waalnnisai waalwildani allatheena yaqooloona rabbana akhrijna min hathihi alqaryati alththalimi ahluha waijAAal lana min ladunka waliyyan waijAAal lana min ladunka naseeran

English

Ahmed Ali

What has come upon you that you fight not in the cause of God and for the oppressed, men, women and children, who pray: "Get us out of this city, O Lord, whose people are oppressors; so send us a friend by Your will, and send us a helper."

75

اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اؘ۝۰ۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ الطَّاغُوْتِ فَقَاتِلُوْۗا اَوْلِيَاۗءَ الشَّيْطٰنِ۝۰ۚ اِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطٰنِ كَانَ ضَعِيْفًا۝۷۶ۧ
Allatheena amanoo yuqatiloona fee sabeeli Allahi waallatheena kafaroo yuqatiloona fee sabeeli alttaghooti faqatiloo awliyaa alshshaytani inna kayda alshshaytani kana daAAeefan

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who believe fight in the way of God; and those who do not, only fight for the powers of evil; so you should fight the allies of Satan. Surely the stratagem of Satan is ineffective.

76

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ قِيْلَ لَھُمْ كُفُّوْۗا اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوۃَ۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْہِمُ الْقِتَالُ اِذَا فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْھُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ كَخَشْـيَۃِ اللہِ اَوْ اَشَدَّ خَشْـيَۃً۝۰ۚ وَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لِمَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا الْقِتَالَ۝۰ۚ لَوْلَاۗ اَخَّرْتَنَاۗ اِلٰۗى اَجَلٍ قَرِيْبٍ۝۰ۭ قُلْ مَتَاعُ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيْلٌ۝۰ۚ وَالْاٰخِرَۃُ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنِ اتَّقٰى۝۰ۣ وَلَا تُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا۝۷۷

English

Ahmed Ali

Have you not seen the people who were told: "Hold back your hands (from attacking), observe your devotional obligations and pay the zakat?" But when they were commanded to fight, behold, a section among them were filled with fear of men as though it were the fear of God and even more, and said: "O Lord, why did you make war compulsory for us? Why did you not allow us to live a little more?" Say to them: "How short-lived is the commerce of this world; but that of the next is best for those who fear God; and you will not be wronged the breadth of a thread."

77

اَيْنَ مَا تَكُوْنُوْا يُدْرِكْكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ بُرُوْجٍ مُّشَـيَّدَۃٍ۝۰ۭ وَاِنْ تُصِبْھُمْ حَسَـنَۃٌ يَّقُوْلُوْا ہٰذِہٖ مِنْ عِنْدِ اؘ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْھُمْ سَيِّئَۃٌ يَّقُوْلُوْا ہٰذِہٖ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ۝۰ۭ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اؘ۝۰ۭ فَمَالِ ہٰۗؤُلَاۗءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا يَكَادُوْنَ يَفْقَہُوْنَ حَدِيْثًا۝۷۸
Aynama takoonoo yudrikkumu almawtu walaw kuntum fee buroojin mushayyadatin wain tusibhum hasanatun yaqooloo hathihi min AAindi Allahi wain tusibhum sayyiatun yaqooloo hathihi min AAindika qul kullun min AAindi Allahi famali haolai alqawmi la yakadoona yafqahoona hadeethan

English

Ahmed Ali

Death will overtake you wheresoever you be, even in the mightiest of towers. Yet if some good comes their way they say: "It is from God;" and if it is evil that befalls them, they say: "It is indeed from you." Say to them: "Every thing is from God." O, what has come upon the people that even this they fail to understand!

78

مَاۗ اَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَـنَۃٍ فَمِنَ اؘ۝۰ۡوَمَاۗ اَصَابَكَ مِنْ سَيِّئَۃٍ فَمِنْ نَّفْسِكَ۝۰ۭ وَاَرْسَلْنٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُوْلًا۝۰ۭ وَكَفٰى بِاللہِ شَہِيْدًا۝۷۹
Ma asabaka min hasanatin famina Allahi wama asabaka min sayyiatin famin nafsika waarsalnaka lilnnasi rasoolan wakafa biAllahi shaheedan

English

Ahmed Ali

What comes to you of good is verily from God; and what comes to you of ill is from your own self (your actions). We have sent you as apostle to all mankind; and God is sufficient as witness.

79

مَنْ يُّطِعِ الرَّسُوْلَ فَقَدْ اَطَاعَ اللہَ۝۰ۚ وَمَنْ تَوَلّٰى فَمَاۗ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْہِمْ حَفِيْظًا۝۸۰ۭ
Man yutiAAi alrrasoola faqad ataAAa Allaha waman tawalla fama arsalnaka AAalayhim hafeethan

English

Ahmed Ali

He who obeys the Apostle obeys God; and if some turn away (remember) We have not sent you as warden over them.

80

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ طَاعَۃٌ۝۰ۡفَاِذَا بَرَزُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَيَّتَ طَاۗىِٕفَۃٌ مِّنْھُمْ غَيْرَ الَّذِيْ تَقُوْلُ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُوْنَ۝۰ۚ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْھُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَي اؘ۝۰ۭ وَكَفٰى بِاللہِ وَكِيْلًا۝۸۱
Wayaqooloona taAAatun faitha barazoo min AAindika bayyata taifatun minhum ghayra allathee taqoolu waAllahu yaktubu ma yubayyitoona faaAArid AAanhum watawakkal AAala Allahi wakafa biAllahi wakeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

They say: "We obey;" but when they leave your company, a section of them discuss at night other things than you had said; but God takes note of what they discuss. So turn aside from them and trust in God; and God is sufficient as protector.

81

اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللہِ لَوَجَدُوْا فِيْہِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيْرًا۝۸۲
Afala yatadabbaroona alqurana walaw kana min AAindi ghayri Allahi lawajadoo feehi ikhtilafan katheeran

English

Ahmed Ali

Do they not ponder over the Qur'an? Had it been the word of any other but God they would surely have found a good deal of variation in it.

82

وَاِذَا جَاۗءَھُمْ اَمْرٌ مِّنَ الْاَمْنِ اَوِ الْخَوْفِ اَذَاعُوْا بِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ رَدُّوْہُ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ وَاِلٰۗى اُولِي الْاَمْرِ مِنْھُمْ لَعَلِمَہُ الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَنْۢبِطُوْنَہٗ مِنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللہِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُہٗ لَاتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّيْطٰنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا۝۸۳
Waitha jaahum amrun mina alamni awi alkhawfi athaAAoo bihi walaw raddoohu ila alrrasooli waila olee alamri minhum laAAalimahu allatheena yastanbitoonahu minhum walawla fadlu Allahi AAalaykum warahmatuhu laittabaAAtumu alshshaytana illa qaleelan

English

Ahmed Ali

And when any tidings of peace or war come to them they spread the news around. Had they gone to the Prophet or those in authority among them, then those who check and scrutinize would have known it, And but for the favour of God and His mercy you would certainly have followed Satan, except a few.
