| 1. |
A (declaration)
of immunity from Allah and His Messenger, to those of the Pagans with
whom you have contracted mutual alliances-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Go you, then, for four months, backwards
and forwards, (as you will),
throughout the land, but know you that you cannot frustrate Allah
(by your falsehood)
but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject him. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And an announcement from Allah and
His Messenger, to the people
(assembled) on the day of the
Great Pilgrimage--that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty)
obligations with the Pagans. If, then, you repent, it were best for
you; but if you turn away, know you that you cannot frustrate Allah.
And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
(But the treaties are) not
dissolved with those Pagans with whom You have entered into alliance
and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided anyone
against you. So fulfill your engagements with them to the end of their
term: for Allah loves the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
But when the forbidden months are past,
then fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize,
them beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem
(of war);
but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular
charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
If one amongst the Pagans ask you for
asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the Word of Allah; and
then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are
men without knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
How can there be a league, before Allah
and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom you made
a treaty near the Sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you,
stand you true to them: For Allah does love the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
How (can
there be such a league), seeing
that if they get an advantage over you, they respect not in you the
ties either of kinship or of covenant? With (fair
words from) their mouths they
entice you, but their hearts are averse from you; and most of them
are rebellious and wicked. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
The Signs of Allah have they sold for
a miserable price, and (many)
have they hindered from His way: evil indeed are the deeds they have
done. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
In a Believer they respect not the
ties either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who have transgressed
all bounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
But (even
so) ,if they repent, establish
regular prayers, and practice regular charity--they are your brethren
in Faith: (thus)
do We explain Signs in detail, for those who understand. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
But if they violate their oaths after
their covenant, and taunt you for your Faith--fight you the chiefs
of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may
be restrained. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Will you not fight people who violated
their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and took the aggressive
by being the first (to assault)
you? Do you fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom you should more justly
fear if you believe! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Fight them, and Allah will punish them
by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to
victory) over them, heal the
breasts of Believers, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And still the indignation of their
hearts. For Allah will turn (in
mercy) to whom He will; and
Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Or think you that you shall be abandoned,
as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might
and main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His
Messenger, and the (community
of) Believers? But Allah is
well-acquainted with (all)
that you do. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
It is not for such as join gods with
Allah, to visit or maintain the mosques of Allah while they witness
against their own souls to infidelity. The works of such bear no fruit:
in Fire shall they dwell. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
The mosques of Allah shall be visited
and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish
regular prayers, and practice regular charity, and fear none
(at all)
except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Do you make the giving of drink to
pilgrims, or the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to
(the pious service of)
those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and strive with might
and main in the cause of Allah? They are not comparable in the sight
of Allah: and Allah guides not those who do wrong. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those who believe, and suffer exile
and strive with might and main, in Allah's cause, with their goods
and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: They
are the people who will achieve
(salvation). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Their Lord does give them glad tidings
of a Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of Gardens for
them, wherein are delights that endure: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
They will dwell therein forever. Verily
in Allah's presence is a reward, the greatest (of
all). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
O you who believe! take not for protectors
your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith:
if any of you do so, they do wrong. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Say: If it be that your fathers, your
sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that
you have gained; the commerce in which you fear a decline; or the
dwellings in which you delight--are dearer to you than Allah, or His
Messenger, or the striving in His cause--then wait until Allah brings
about His Decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Assuredly Allah did help you in many
battle-fields and on the day of Hunayn: Behold! your great numbers
elated you, but they availed you naught: the land, for all that it
is wide, did constrain you, and you turned back in retreat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
But Allah did pour His calm on the
Messenger and on the Believers, and sent down forces which you saw
not: He punished the Unbelievers: thus does He reward those without
Faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Again will Allah, after this, turn
(in mercy)
to whom He will: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
O you who believe! truly the Pagans
are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach
the Sacred Mosque. And if you fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich
you, if He wills, out of his bounty, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Fight those who believe not in Allah
nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden
by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth,
(even if they are)
of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
The Jews call ‘Uzayr a son of Allah,
and the Christians call Christ the Son of Allah. That is a saying
from their mouths; (in this)
they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's
curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth! |
