٢٢ - ٱلْحَجّ

22 - Al-Hajj

اِنَّ اللہَ يُدٰفِعُ عَنِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُوْرٍ۝۳۸ۧ
Inna Allaha yudafiAAu AAani allatheena amanoo inna Allaha la yuhibbu kulla khawwanin kafoorin

English

Ahmed Ali

God will certainly defend the believers. Surely God does not like the traitors who deny the truth.

38

اُذِنَ لِلَّذِيْنَ يُقٰتَلُوْنَ بِاَنَّہُمْ ظُلِمُوْا۝۰ۭ وَاِنَّ اللہَ عَلٰي نَصْرِہِمْ لَقَدِيْرُۨ۝۳۹ۙ
Othina lillatheena yuqataloona biannahum thulimoo wainna Allaha AAala nasrihim laqadeerun

English

Ahmed Ali

Permission is granted those (to take up arms) who fight because they were oppressed. God is certainly able to give help to those

39

الَّذِيْنَ اُخْرِجُوْا مِنْ دِيَارِہِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا رَبُّنَا اؙ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللہِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَہُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَّہُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَّصَلَوٰتٌ وَّمَسٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيْہَا اسْمُ اللہِ كَثِيْرًا۝۰ۭ وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللہُ مَنْ يَّنْصُرُہٗ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ۝۴۰
Allatheena okhrijoo min diyarihim bighayri haqqin illa an yaqooloo rabbuna Allahu walawla dafAAu Allahi alnnasa baAAdahum bibaAAdin lahuddimat sawamiAAu wabiyaAAun wasalawatun wamasajidu yuthkaru feeha ismu Allahi katheeran walayansuranna Allahu man yansuruhu inna Allaha laqawiyyun AAazeezun

English

Ahmed Ali

Who were driven away from their homes for no other reason than they said: "Our Lord is God." And if God had not restrained some men through some others, monastries, churches, synagogues and mosques, where the name of God is honoured most, would have been razed. God will surely help those who help Him, -- verily God is all-powerful and all-mighty, --

40

اَلَّذِيْنَ اِنْ مَّكَّنّٰہُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوۃَ وَاَمَرُوْا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَنَہَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ۝۰ۭ وَلِلہِ عَاقِبَۃُ الْاُمُوْرِ۝۴۱
Allatheena in makkannahum fee alardi aqamoo alssalata waatawoo alzzakata waamaroo bialmaAAroofi wanahaw AAani almunkari walillahi AAaqibatu alomoori

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who would be firm in devotion, give zakat, and enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong, if We gave them authority in the land. But the resultance of things rests with God.

41

وَاِنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَہُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّعَادٌ وَّثَمُوْدُ۝۴۲ۙ
Wain yukaththibooka faqad kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waAAadun wathamoodu

English

Ahmed Ali

If they accuse you of falsehood, (remember that) the people of Noah, 'Ad and Thamud had accused (their apostles) before,

42

وَقَوْمُ اِبْرٰہِيْمَ وَقَوْمُ لُوْطٍ۝۴۳ۙ
Waqawmu ibraheema waqawmu lootin

English

Ahmed Ali

And the people of Abraham and Lot,

43

وَّاَصْحٰبُ مَدْيَنَ۝۰ۚ وَكُذِّبَ مُوْسٰى فَاَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُہُمْ۝۰ۚ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ۝۴۴
Waashabu madyana wakuththiba moosa faamlaytu lilkafireena thumma akhathtuhum fakayfa kana nakeeri

English

Ahmed Ali

And the people of Midian too. Moses was also accused of lies. So I allowed the infidels respite and then seized them. How was My reprobation then!

44

فَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَۃٍ اَہْلَكْنٰہَا وَہِىَ ظَالِمَۃٌ فَہِيَ خَاوِيَۃٌ عَلٰي عُرُوْشِہَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَۃٍ وَّقَصْرٍ مَّشِيْدٍ۝۴۵
Fakaayyin min qaryatin ahlaknaha wahiya thalimatun fahiya khawiyatun AAala AAurooshiha wabirin muAAattalatin waqasrin masheedin

English

Ahmed Ali

How many a habitation given to wickedness have We destroyed, whose roofs tumbled down, which fell into ruins. How many a well and fortress reinforced lie abandoned!

45

اَفَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَتَكُوْنَ لَہُمْ قُلُوْبٌ يَّعْقِلُوْنَ بِہَاۗ اَوْ اٰذَانٌ يَّسْمَعُوْنَ بِہَا۝۰ۚ فَاِنَّہَا لَا تَعْمَى الْاَبْصَارُ وَلٰكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوْبُ الَّتِيْ فِي الصُّدُوْرِ۝۴۶
Afalam yaseeroo fee alardi fatakoona lahum quloobun yaAAqiloona biha aw athanun yasmaAAoona biha fainnaha la taAAma alabsaru walakin taAAma alquloobu allatee fee alssudoori

English

Ahmed Ali

Have they not travelled in the land that they could have the heart to understand, and ears to hear? It is not the eyes alone that do not see, oblivious are the hearts within their breasts.

46

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَنْ يُّخْلِفَ اللہُ وَعْدَہٗ۝۰ۭ وَاِنَّ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَاَلْفِ سَـنَۃٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ۝۴۷
WayastaAAjiloonaka bialAAathabi walan yukhlifa Allahu waAAdahu wainna yawman AAinda rabbika kaalfi sanatin mimma taAAuddoona

English

Ahmed Ali

That is how they ask you to hasten the punishment; but God does not go back on His promise. Verily a day with your Lord is equal by your reckoning to a thousand years.
