9 - At-Tawba

وَجَاۗءَ الْمُعَذِّرُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَہُمْ وَقَعَدَ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَبُوا اللہَ وَرَسُوْلَہٗ۝۰ۭ سَيُصِيْبُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْہُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ۝۹۰
Wajaa almuAAaththiroona mina alaAArabi liyuthana lahum waqaAAada allatheena kathaboo Allaha warasoolahu sayuseebu allatheena kafaroo minhum AAathabun aleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Some Arabs of the desert came with ready excuses, asking for leave to stay behind. But those who had lied to God and His Prophet stayed at home doing nothing. So the punishment for those who disbelieve among them will be painful.

90

لَيْسَ عَلَي الضُّعَفَاۗءِ وَلَا عَلَي الْمَرْضٰى وَلَا عَلَي الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَجِدُوْنَ مَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ حَرَجٌ اِذَا نَصَحُوْا لِلہِ وَرَسُوْلِہٖ۝۰ۭ مَا عَلَي الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ مِنْ سَبِيْلٍ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۹۱ۙ
Laysa AAala aldduAAafai wala AAala almarda wala AAala allatheena la yajidoona ma yunfiqoona harajun itha nasahoo lillahi warasoolihi ma AAala almuhsineena min sabeelin waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

No blame will attach to the old and the sick, or those without means to spend on good acts, if they stay behind provided they are sincere to God and His Apostle; There is no way to blame those who are doers of good, for God is forgiving and kind.

91

وَّلَا عَلَي الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا مَاۗ اَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَہُمْ قُلْتَ لَاۗ اَجِدُ مَاۗ اَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْہِ۝۰۠ تَوَلَّوْا وَّاَعْيُنُہُمْ تَفِيْضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا اَلَّا يَجِدُوْا مَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ۝۹۲ۭ
Wala AAala allatheena itha ma atawka litahmilahum qulta la ajidu ma ahmilukum AAalayhi tawallaw waaAAyunuhum tafeedu mina alddamAAi hazanan alla yajidoo ma yunfiqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Nor will they be blamed who came to you for transport, to whom you said: "I cannot find any means of conveyance for you," and they went away in tears, grieving that they lacked the means to spend (on carriage).

92

اِنَّمَا السَّبِيْلُ عَلَي الَّذِيْنَ يَسْـتَاْذِنُوْنَكَ وَہُمْ اَغْنِيَاۗءُ۝۰ۚ رَضُوْا بِاَنْ يَّكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ۝۰ۙ وَطَبَعَ اللہُ عَلٰي قُلُوْبِہِمْ فَہُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۹۳
Innama alssabeelu AAala allatheena yastathinoonaka wahum aghniyao radoo bian yakoonoo maAAa alkhawalifi watabaAAa Allahu AAala quloobihim fahum la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Blame will lie on those who are rich yet ask your leave to stay behind. They prefer to stay with women who stay at home, and God seals their hearts; so they do not understand.

93

يَعْتَذِرُوْنَ اِلَيْكُمْ اِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ اِلَيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ قُلْ لَّا تَعْتَذِرُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّاَنَا اللہُ مِنْ اَخْبَارِكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَسَيَرَى اللہُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُوْلُہٗ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰى عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّہَادَۃِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۹۴
YaAAtathiroona ilaykum itha rajaAAtum ilayhim qul la taAAtathiroo lan numina lakum qad nabbaana Allahu min akhbarikum wasayara Allahu AAamalakum warasooluhu thumma turaddoona ila AAalimi alghaybi waalshshahadati fayunabbiokum bima kuntum taAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

When you come back they will offer excuses to you. Tell them: "Make no excuses; we do not believe you. God has informed us about you; and God and His Apostle shall watch your conduct. Then you will be brought to Him who knows what is hidden and what is manifest. He will tell you of what you did."

94

سَيَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللہِ لَكُمْ اِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ اِلَيْہِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوْا عَنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ فَاَعْرِضُوْا عَنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّھُمْ رِجْسٌ۝۰ۡوَّمَاْوٰىھُمْ جَہَنَّمُ۝۰ۚ جَزَاۗءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۹۵
Sayahlifoona biAllahi lakum itha inqalabtum ilayhim lituAAridoo AAanhum faaAAridoo AAanhum innahum rijsun wamawahum jahannamu jazaan bima kanoo yaksiboona

English

Ahmed Ali

They will beg you in the name of God, on your return, to forgive them; but you keep away from them: They are scum; their abode is Hell: Requital for what they had done.

95

يَحْلِفُوْنَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْھُمْ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْھُمْ فَاِنَّ اللہَ لَا يَرْضٰى عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ۝۹۶
Yahlifoona lakum litardaw AAanhum fain tardaw AAanhum fainna Allaha la yarda AAani alqawmi alfasiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

They will plead on oath that you accept them. Even if you accept them, remember God does not accept people who are disobedient.

96

اَلْاَعْرَابُ اَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَّنِفَاقًا وَّاَجْدَرُ اَلَّا يَعْلَمُوْا حُدُوْدَ مَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ عَلٰي رَسُوْلِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ۝۹۷
AlaAArabu ashaddu kufran wanifaqan waajdaru alla yaAAlamoo hudooda ma anzala Allahu AAala rasoolihi waAllahu AAaleemun hakeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

The village Arabs are more obstinate in disbelief and hypocrisy, and impervious to ordinances revealed to His Apostle by God; yet God is aware of everything and is wise.

97

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ يَّتَّخِذُ مَا يُنْفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَّيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَاۗىِٕرَ۝۰ۭ عَلَيْہِمْ دَاۗىِٕرَۃُ السَّوْءِ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۹۸
Wamina alaAArabi man yattakhithu ma yunfiqu maghraman wayatarabbasu bikumu alddawaira AAalayhim dairatu alssawi waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Some of these rustics take whatever they spend in the way of God as a penalty, and wait for an adverse turn in your fortune. For them will be the adverse change, as God hears all and knows everything.

98

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاللہِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنْفِقُ قُرُبٰتٍ عِنْدَ اللہِ وَصَلَوٰتِ الرَّسُوْلِ۝۰ۭ اَلَاۗ اِنَّہَا قُرْبَۃٌ لَّھُمْ۝۰ۭ سَـيُدْخِلُھُمُ اللہُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِہٖ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۹۹ۧ
Wamina alaAArabi man yuminu biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri wayattakhithu ma yunfiqu qurubatin AAinda Allahi wasalawati alrrasooli ala innaha qurbatun lahum sayudkhiluhumu Allahu fee rahmatihi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Yet some Arabs of the desert believe in God and the Last Day, and consider what they spend to be a means of bringing them nearer to God and the blessings of the Prophet. This is certainly a means of achieving nearness (to God), and God will admit them to His mercy, for God is forgiving and kind.
