٩ - ٱلتَّوْبَة

9 - At-Tawba

اَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَۃَ الْحَاۗجِّ وَعِمَارَۃَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللہِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَجٰہَدَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اؘ۝۰ۭ لَا يَسْتَوٗنَ عِنْدَ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ لَا يَہْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِـمِيْنَ۝۱۹ۘ
AjaAAaltum siqayata alhajji waAAimarata almasjidi alharami kaman amana biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri wajahada fee sabeeli Allahi la yastawoona AAinda Allahi waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Do you think that giving a drink of water to the pilgrims and going on a visit to the Sacred Mosque, is the same as believing in God and the Last Day, and striving in the cause of God? In the eyes of God it is not the same; and God does not show the unrighteous the way.

19

اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَہَاجَرُوْا وَجٰہَدُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ بِاَمْوَالِہِمْ وَاَنْفُسِہِمْ۝۰ۙ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَۃً عِنْدَ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ہُمُ الْفَاۗىِٕزُوْنَ۝۲۰
Allatheena amanoo wahajaroo wajahadoo fee sabeeli Allahi biamwalihim waanfusihim aAAthamu darajatan AAinda Allahi waolaika humu alfaizoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who accepted the faith and left their homes and fought in the way of God, wealth and soul, have a greater reward with God, and will be successful.

20

يُبَشِّرُہُمْ رَبُّہُمْ بِرَحْمَۃٍ مِّنْہُ وَرِضْوَانٍ وَّجَنّٰتٍ لَّہُمْ فِيْہَا نَعِيْمٌ مُّقِيْمٌ۝۲۱ۙ
Yubashshiruhum rabbuhum birahmatin minhu waridwanin wajannatin lahum feeha naAAeemun muqeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Their Lord announces to them news of His mercy, acceptance, and gardens of lasting bliss

21

خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْہَاۗ اَبَدًا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ عِنْدَہٗۗ اَجْرٌ عَظِيْمٌ۝۲۲
Khalideena feeha abadan inna Allaha AAindahu ajrun AAatheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Which they will enjoy for ever. Indeed God has greater rewards with Him.

22

يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۗا اٰبَاۗءَكُمْ وَاِخْوَانَكُمْ اَوْلِيَاۗءَ اِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَي الْاِيْمَانِ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَلَّہُمْ مِّنْكُمْ فَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ہُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۲۳
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo abaakum waikhwanakum awliyaa ini istahabboo alkufra AAala aleemani waman yatawallahum minkum faolaika humu alththalimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, do not hold your fathers and brothers as friends if they hold disbelief more dear than faith; and those of you who do so are iniquitous.

23

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ اٰبَاۗؤُكُمْ وَاَبْنَاۗؤُكُمْ وَاِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيْرَتُكُمْ وَاَمْوَالُۨ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوْہَا وَتِجَارَۃٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَہَا وَمَسٰكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَہَاۗ اَحَبَّ اِلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اللہِ وَرَسُوْلِہٖ وَ جِہَادٍ فِيْ سَبِيْلِہٖ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا حَتّٰي يَاْتِيَ اللہُ بِاَمْرِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ لَا يَہْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ۝۲۴ۧ
Qul in kana abaokum waabnaokum waikhwanukum waazwajukum waAAasheeratukum waamwalun iqtaraftumooha watijaratun takhshawna kasadaha wamasakinu tardawnaha ahabba ilaykum mina Allahi warasoolihi wajihadin fee sabeelihi fatarabbasoo hatta yatiya Allahu biamrihi waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alfasiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

You tell them: "If your fathers and sons, your brothers and wives and families and wealth, or the business you fear may fail, and the mansions that you love, are dearer to you than God, His Apostle, and struggling in His cause, then wait until God's command arrives, for God does not show transgressors the way."

24

لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللہُ فِيْ مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيْرَۃٍ۝۰ۙ وَّيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ۝۰ۙ اِذْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَيْــــًٔـا وَّضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُّدْبِرِيْنَ۝۲۵ۚ
Laqad nasarakumu Allahu fee mawatina katheeratin wayawma hunaynin ith aAAjabatkum kathratukum falam tughni AAankum shayan wadaqat AAalaykumu alardu bima rahubat thumma wallaytum mudbireena

English

Ahmed Ali

Indeed God has helped you on many occasions, even during the battle of Hunain, when you were elated with joy at your numbers which did not prove of the least avail, so that the earth and its vast expanse became too narrow for you, and you turned back and retreated.

25

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ سَكِيْنَتَہٗ عَلٰي رَسُوْلِہٖ وَعَلَي الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَاَنْزَلَ جُنُوْدًا لَّمْ تَرَوْہَا وَعَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا۝۰ۭ وَذٰلِكَ جَزَاۗءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝۲۶
Thumma anzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAala rasoolihi waAAala almumineena waanzala junoodan lam tarawha waAAaththaba allatheena kafaroo wathalika jazao alkafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

Then God sent down a sense of tranquility on His Apostle and the faithful; and sent down troops invisible to punish the infidels. This is the recompense of those who do not believe.

26

ثُمَّ يَتُوْبُ اللہُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلٰي مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۲۷
Thumma yatoobu Allahu min baAAdi thalika AAala man yashao waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Yet God may turn (even) after this to whomsoever He please, for God is compassionate and kind.

27

يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۗا اِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِہِمْ ہٰذَا۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَۃً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيْكُمُ اللہُ مِنْ فَضْلِہٖۗ اِنْ شَاۗءَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ۝۲۸
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo innama almushrikoona najasun fala yaqraboo almasjida alharama baAAda AAamihim hatha wain khiftum AAaylatan fasawfa yughneekumu Allahu min fadlihi in shaa inna Allaha AAaleemun hakeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

O believers, the idolaters are unclean. So they should not approach the Holy Mosque after this year. In case you fear indigence (from the stoppage of business with them), then God will enrich you of His bounty if He will, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.
