9 - At-Tawba

اِنَّمَا الصَّدَقٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَاۗءِ وَالْمَسٰكِيْنِ وَالْعٰمِلِيْنَ عَلَيْہَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَۃِ قُلُوْبُہُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغٰرِمِيْنَ وَفِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِ۝۰ۭ فَرِيْضَۃً مِّنَ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ۝۶۰
Innama alssadaqatu lilfuqarai waalmasakeeni waalAAamileena AAalayha waalmuallafati quloobuhum wafee alrriqabi waalgharimeena wafee sabeeli Allahi waibni alssabeeli fareedatan mina Allahi waAllahu AAaleemun hakeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Charities are meant for the indigent and needy, and those who collect and distribute them, and those whom you wish to win over, and for redeeming slaves (and captives) and those who are burdened with debt, and in the cause of God, and the wayfarers: So does God ordain. God is all-knowing and all-wise.

وَمِنْہُمُ الَّذِيْنَ يُؤْذُوْنَ النَّبِيَّ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ ہُوَاُذُنٌ۝۰ۭ قُلْ اُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللہِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَرَحْمَۃٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَالَّذِيْنَ يُؤْذُوْنَ رَسُوْلَ اللہِ لَہُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ۝۶۱
Waminhumu allatheena yuthoona alnnabiyya wayaqooloona huwa othunun qul othunu khayrin lakum yuminu biAllahi wayuminu lilmumineena warahmatun lillatheena amanoo minkum waallatheena yuthoona rasoola Allahi lahum AAathabun aleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

There are some among them who talk ill of the Prophet by saying: "He listens to everyone." Tell them: "He listens for your good, and trusts in God and trusts the faithful, and he is a blessing for those who believe. For those who offend the Apostle of God there is painful punishment."

61

يَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللہِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوْكُمْ۝۰ۚ وَاللہُ وَرَسُوْلُہٗۗ اَحَقُّ اَنْ يُّرْضُوْہُ اِنْ كَانُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ۝۶۲
Yahlifoona biAllahi lakum liyurdookum waAllahu warasooluhu ahaqqu an yurdoohu in kanoo mumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

They swear by God to please you; but if they are believers it would have been worthier to have pleased God and His Apostle.

62

اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوْۗا اَنَّہٗ مَنْ يُّحَادِدِ اللہَ وَرَسُوْلَہٗ فَاَنَّ لَہٗ نَارَ جَہَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِيْہَا۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ الْخِزْيُ الْعَظِيْمُ۝۶۳
Alam yaAAlamoo annahu man yuhadidi Allaha warasoolahu faanna lahu nara jahannama khalidan feeha thalika alkhizyu alAAatheemu

English

Ahmed Ali

Have they not realised that anyone who opposes God and His Prophet, will abide in Hell for ever? And that is the worst disgrace.

63

يَحْذَرُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْہِمْ سُوْرَۃٌ تُنَبِّئُہُمْ بِمَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِہِمْ۝۰ۭ قُلِ اسْتَہْزِءُوْا۝۰ۚ اِنَّ اللہَ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا تَحْذَرُوْنَ۝۶۴
Yahtharu almunafiqoona an tunazzala AAalayhim sooratun tunabbiohum bima fee quloobihim quli istahzioo inna Allaha mukhrijun ma tahtharoona

English

Ahmed Ali

The hypocrites fear lest a Surah is revealed concerning them, exposing what is in their hearts. Say to them: "Mock as much as you like; God will surely expose what you dread."

64

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَہُمْ لَيَقُوْلُنَّ اِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوْضُ وَنَلْعَبُ۝۰ۭ قُلْ اَبِاللہِ وَاٰيٰتِہٖ وَرَسُوْلِہٖ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَہْزِءُوْنَ۝۶۵
Walain saaltahum layaqoolunna innama kunna nakhoodu wanalAAabu qul abiAllahi waayatihi warasoolihi kuntum tastahzioona

English

Ahmed Ali

But if you ask them, they will say: "We were only gossiping and jesting." You ask them: "Were you jesting with God, His revelations and His messengers?"

65

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوْا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ اِيْمَانِكُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنْ نَّعْفُ عَنْ طَاۗىِٕفَۃٍ مِّنْكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَاۗىِٕفَۃًۢ بِاَنَّہُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ۝۶۶ۧ
La taAAtathiroo qad kafartum baAAda eemanikum in naAAfu AAan taifatin minkum nuAAaththib taifatan biannahum kanoo mujrimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not make excuses: You turned unbelievers after having come to faith. If We pardon a section of you (for being frivolous), We shall punish the other for being guilty (of deliberate sin).

66

اَلْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتُ بَعْضُہُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍ۝۰ۘ يَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَيَنْہَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوْفِ وَيَقْبِضُوْنَ اَيْدِيَہُمْ۝۰ۭ نَسُوا اللہَ فَنَسِيَہُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ ہُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۶۷
Almunafiqoona waalmunafiqatu baAAduhum min baAAdin yamuroona bialmunkari wayanhawna AAani almaAAroofi wayaqbidoona aydiyahum nasoo Allaha fanasiyahum inna almunafiqeena humu alfasiqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

The hypocrites (are the same) whether men or women, the one of them being of the other. They encourage what is bad and dissuade from the good, and tighten their purses (when it comes to spending in the way of God). Of God they are oblivious; so He is oblivious of them. The hypocrites are indeed transgressors.

67

وَعَدَ اللہُ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَہَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْہَا۝۰ۭ ھِىَ حَسْبُہُمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَعَنَہُمُ اؙ۝۰ۚ وَلَہُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيْمٌ۝۶۸ۙ
WaAAada Allahu almunafiqeena waalmunafiqati waalkuffara nara jahannama khalideena feeha hiya hasbuhum walaAAanahumu Allahu walahum AAathabun muqeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

God has reserved for hypocrites, whether men or women, and for unbelievers, the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever. This is sufficient for them: They have God's condemnation and lasting torment,

68

كَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوْۗا اَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّۃً وَّاَكْثَرَ اَمْوَالًا وَّاَوْلَادًا۝۰ۭ فَاسْتَمْتَعُوْا بِخَلَاقِہِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَـمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلَاقِہِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِيْ خَاضُوْا۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُہُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَۃِ۝۰ۚ وَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ہُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ۝۶۹
Kaallatheena min qablikum kanoo ashadda minkum quwwatan waakthara amwalan waawladan faistamtaAAoo bikhalaqihim faistamtaAAtum bikhalaqikum kama istamtaAAa allatheena min qablikum bikhalaqihim wakhudtum kaallathee khadoo olaika habitat aAAmaluhum fee alddunya waalakhirati waolaika humu alkhasiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

Like those before you who were greater in strength, had more wealth and children than you, who enjoyed their lot in this world, as you have enjoyed your share like them. You indulge in idle talk, as they had indulged in vain discourse. Yet nothing of what they did remains in this world or will in the next, and they are the losers.
