In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful
Glorifying God is all that exists in the heavens and the earth
He is the Almighty, the Most Wise
It is He who evicted those who disbelieved among the People of the Book from their homes at the first mobilization
You did not think they would leave, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from God
But God came at them from where they never expected, and threw terror into their hearts
They wrecked their homes with their own hands, and by the hands of the believers
Therefore, take a lesson, O you who have insight
Had God not decreed exile for them, He would have punished them in this life
But in the Hereafter they will have the punishment of the Fire
That is because they opposed God and His Messenger
Whoever opposes God-God is stern in retribution
Whether you cut down a tree, or leave it standing on its trunk, it is by God’s will
He will surely disgrace the sinners
Whatever God has bestowed upon His Messenger from them; you spurred neither horse nor camel for them, but God gives authority to His messengers over whomever He will
God is Able to do all things
Whatever God restored to His Messenger from the inhabitants of the villages belongs to God, and to the Messenger, and to the relatives, and to the orphans, and to the poor, and to the wayfarer; so that it may not circulate solely between the wealthy among you
Whatever the Messenger gives you, accept it; and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it
And fear God
God is severe in punishment
To the poor refugees who were driven out of their homes and their possessions, as they sought the favor of God and His approval, and came to the aid of God and His Messenger
These are the sincere
And those who, before them, had settled in the homeland, and had accepted faith
They love those who emigrated to them, and find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them
They give them priority over themselves, even if they themselves are needy
Whoever is protected from his natural greed-it is they who are the successful
And those who came after them, saying, “Our Lord, forgive us, and our brethren who preceded us in faith, and leave no malice in our hearts towards those who believe
Our Lord, You are Clement and Merciful”
Have you not considered those who act hypocritically?
They say to their brethren who disbelieved among the People of the Book, “If you are evicted, we will leave with you, and will not obey anyone against you; and should anyone fight you, we will certainly support you”
But God bears witness that they are liars
If they are evicted, they will not leave with them; and if anyone fights them, they will not support them; and if they go to their aid, they will turn their backs and flee; then they will receive no support
Fear of you is more intense in their hearts than fear of God
That is because they are a people who do not understand
They will not fight you all together except from fortified strongholds, or from behind walls
Their hostility towards each other is severe
You would think they are united, but their hearts are diverse
That is because they are a people who do not understand
Like those shortly before them
They experienced the consequences of their decisions
For them is a painful punishment
Like the devil, when he says to the human being, “Disbelieve”
But when he has disbelieved, he says, “I am innocent of you; I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds”
The ultimate end for both of them is the Fire, where they will dwell forever
Such is the requital for the wrongdoers
O you who believe!
Fear God, and let every soul consider what it has forwarded for the morrow, and fear God
God is Aware of what you do
And do not be like those who forgot God, so He made them forget themselves
These are the sinners
Not equal are the inhabitants of the Fire and the inhabitants of Paradise
It is the inhabitants of Paradise who are the winners
Had We sent this Quran down on a mountain, you would have seen it trembling, crumbling in awe of God
These parables We cite for the people, so that they may reflect
He is God
There is no god but He, the Knower of secrets and declarations
He is the Compassionate, the Merciful
He is God; besides Whom there is no god; the Sovereign, the Holy, the Peace-Giver, the Faith-Giver, the Overseer, the Almighty, the Omnipotent, the Overwhelming
Glory be to God, beyond what they associate
He is God; the Creator, the Maker, the Designer
His are the Most Beautiful Names
Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him
He is the Majestic, the Wise
