4 - An-Nisa

وَاِذَا حُيِّيْتُمْ بِتَحِيَّۃٍ فَحَــيُوْا بِاَحْسَنَ مِنْھَاۗ اَوْ رُدُّوْھَا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ كَانَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيْبًا۝۸۶
Waitha huyyeetum bitahiyyatin fahayyoo biahsana minha aw ruddooha inna Allaha kana AAala kulli shayin haseeban

English

Ahmed Ali

When you are greeted with a greeting, then greet with one fairer, or repeat the same greeting. For God takes account of all things.

86

اَللہُ لَاۗ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ھُوَ۝۰ۭ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَۃِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْہِ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللہِ حَدِيْثًا۝۸۷ۧ
Allahu la ilaha illa huwa layajmaAAannakum ila yawmi alqiyamati la rayba feehi waman asdaqu mina Allahi hadeethan

English

Ahmed Ali

God: There is no god but He. He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection which is certain to come; and whose word is truer than God's?

87

فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللہُ اَرْكَسَھُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا۝۰ۭ اَتُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَہْدُوْا مَنْ اَضَلَّ اؙ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللہُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَہٗ سَبِيْلًا۝۸۸
Fama lakum fee almunafiqeena fiatayni waAllahu arkasahum bima kasaboo atureedoona an tahdoo man adalla Allahu waman yudlili Allahu falan tajida lahu sabeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

How is it that you are divided in two factions about the hypocrites? God has routed them for what they were doing. Do you wish to guide him to the path whom God has allowed to go astray? As for him whom God allows to go astray you will not find a way.

88

وَدُّوْا لَوْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ كَـمَا كَفَرُوْا فَتَكُوْنُوْنَ سَوَاۗءً فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْھُمْ اَوْلِيَاۗءَ حَتّٰي يُھَاجِرُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اؘ۝۰ۭ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَخُذُوْھُمْ وَاقْتُلُوْھُمْ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْھُمْ۝۰۠ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْھُمْ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًا۝۸۹ۙ
Waddoo law takfuroona kama kafaroo fatakoonoona sawaan fala tattakhithoo minhum awliyaa hatta yuhajiroo fee sabeeli Allahi fain tawallaw fakhuthoohum waoqtuloohum haythu wajadtumoohum wala tattakhithoo minhum waliyyan wala naseeran

English

Ahmed Ali

They wish you to become disbelievers as they are, so that you should become like them. Therefore hold them not as friends until they go out of their homes in the way of God. If they do not, seize them wherever they are and do away with them. Do not make them your friends or allies,

89

English

Ahmed Ali

Except those who take refuge with a people allied to you, or those who, weary of fighting you or their people, come over to you. If God had so willed He would surely have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. If they keep aloof and do not fight, and offer peace, God has left you no reason to fight them.

English

Ahmed Ali

You will also find persons who, while wishing to live in peace with you as well as with their own people, turn to civil war the moment they are called to it. If they do not keep away from you, nor offer you peace nor restrain their hands, seize them and kill them wherever they are. We have given you a clear sanction against them.

English

Ahmed Ali

It is not for a believer to take a believer's life except by mistake; and he who kills a believer by mistake should free a slave who is a believer, and pay blood-money to the victim's family unless they forego it as an act of charity. If he belonged to a community hostile to you but was himself a believer, then a slave who is a believer should be freed. In case he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty, then give blood-money to his family and free a believing slave. But he who has no means (to do so) should fast for a period of two months continuously to have his sins forgiven by God, and God is all-knowing and all-wise.

92

وَمَنْ يَّقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاۗؤُہٗ جَہَنَّمُ خٰلِدًا فِيْھَا وَغَضِبَ اللہُ عَلَيْہِ وَلَعَنَہٗ وَاَعَدَّ لَہٗ عَذَابًا عَظِيْمًا۝۹۳
Waman yaqtul muminan mutaAAammidan fajazaohu jahannamu khalidan feeha waghadiba Allahu AAalayhi walaAAanahu waaAAadda lahu AAathaban AAatheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

Any one who kills a believer intentionally will be cast into Hell to abide there for ever, and suffer God's anger and damnation. For him a greater punishment awaits.

93

English

Ahmed Ali

O believers, when you go out on a journey in the way of God, be discreet and do not say to anyone who greets you in peace: "You are not a believer." You desire the gain of earthly life, but there are prizes in plenty with God. You were also like him (an unbeliever) in the past, but God has been gracious to you. So be careful and discreet, for God is aware of what you do.

94

لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقٰعِدُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ غَيْرُ اُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجٰہِدُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ بِاَمْوَالِہِمْ وَاَنْفُسِہِمْ۝۰ۭ فَضَّلَ اللہُ الْمُجٰہِدِيْنَ بِاَمْوَالِہِمْ وَاَنْفُسِہِمْ عَلَي الْقٰعِدِيْنَ دَرَجَۃً۝۰ۭ وَكُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللہُ الْحُسْنٰي۝۰ۭ وَفَضَّلَ اللہُ الْمُجٰہِدِيْنَ عَلَي الْقٰعِدِيْنَ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا۝۹۵ۙ

English

Ahmed Ali

The faithful who sit idle, other than those who are disabled, are not equal to those who fight in the way of God with their wealth and lives. God has exalted those in rank who fight for the faith with their wealth and souls over those who sit idle. Though God's promise of good is for all, He has granted His favour of the highest reward to those who struggle in preference to those who sit at home.
