يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا قِيْلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ اَرَضِيْتُمْ بِالْحَيٰوۃِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَۃِ۝۰ۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيٰوۃِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْاٰخِرَۃِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ۝۳۸
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ma lakum itha qeela lakumu infiroo fee sabeeli Allahi iththaqaltum ila alardi aradeetum bialhayati alddunya mina alakhirati fama mataAAu alhayati alddunya fee alakhirati illa qaleelun

English

Ahmed Ali

What has happened to you, O believers, that when you are asked to set out in the cause of God your feet begin to drag? Do you find the life of the world so pleasing that you forget the life to come? Yet the profit of the life of this world is but meagre as compared to the life to come.

38

اِلَّا تَنْفِرُوْا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِـــيْمًا۝۰ۥۙ وَّيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوْہُ شَـيْــــًٔـا۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۳۹
Illa tanfiroo yuAAaththibkum AAathaban aleeman wayastabdil qawman ghayrakum wala tadurroohu shayan waAllahu AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

English

Ahmed Ali

Unless you go out (to strive), God will inflict grievous punishment on you, and bring other people in your place, and you will not be able to harm Him in the least, for God has the power over all things.

39

اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْہُ فَقَدْ نَــصَرَہُ اللہُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَہُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثَانِيَ اثْـنَيْنِ اِذْ ہُمَا فِي الْغَارِ اِذْ يَقُوْلُ لِصَاحِبِہٖ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللہَ مَعَنَا۝۰ۚ فَاَنْزَلَ اللہُ سَكِيْـنَتَہٗ عَلَيْہِ وَاَيَّدَہٗ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْہَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَۃَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰى۝۰ۭ وَكَلِمَۃُ اللہِ ہِىَ الْعُلْيَا۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ۝۴۰
Illa tansuroohu faqad nasarahu Allahu ith akhrajahu allatheena kafaroo thaniya ithnayni ith huma fee alghari ith yaqoolu lisahibihi la tahzan inna Allaha maAAana faanzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAalayhi waayyadahu bijunoodin lam tarawha wajaAAala kalimata allatheena kafaroo alssufla wakalimatu Allahi hiya alAAulya waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

If you do not help (the Prophet, remember) God had helped him when the infidels had forced him to leave (and he was) one of two. When both of them were in the cave, he said to his companion: "Do not grieve, for God is with us." Then God sent divine peace on him, and invisible armies for his help, and made the unbelievers' purpose abject. Most exalted is God's word, for God is all-mighty and all-wise.

40

اِنْفِرُوْا خِفَافًا وَّثِــقَالًا وَّجَاہِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اؘ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۴۱
Infiroo khifafan wathiqalan wajahidoo biamwalikum waanfusikum fee sabeeli Allahi thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

O believers, go out in the cause of God, (whether) light or heavy, and strive in the service of God, wealth and soul. This is better for you if you understand.

41

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيْبًا وَّسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَلٰكِنْۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْہِمُ الشُّقَّۃُ۝۰ۭ وَسَيَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللہِ لَوِ اسْـتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ۝۰ۚ يُہْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَہُمْ۝۰ۚ وَاللہُ يَعْلَمُ اِنَّہُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ۝۴۲ۧ
Law kana AAaradan qareeban wasafaran qasidan laittabaAAooka walakin baAAudat AAalayhimu alshshuqqatu wasayahlifoona biAllahi lawi istataAAna lakharajna maAAakum yuhlikoona anfusahum waAllahu yaAAlamu innahum lakathiboona

English

Ahmed Ali

(O Prophet), had the gain been close at hand, and easy the journey, they would surely have followed you; but hard was the journey and long the going. Even then they swear by God (and say): "If we had the strength we would surely have gone out with you." They are only ruining themselves, for God is aware they lie.
