There is no blame on those who are
infirm, or ill, or who find no resources to spend (on
the Cause), if they are sincere
(in duty)
to Allah and His Messenger: no ground (of
complaint) can there be against
such as do right: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
92. |
Nor (is
there blame) on those who came
to you to be provided with mount, and when you said, "I can find
no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with
tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the
expenses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
93. |
The ground (of
complaint) is against such as
claim exemption while they are rich. They prefer to stay with the
(women)
who remain behind: Allah has sealed their hearts; so they know not
(what they miss). |
|
|
|
|
|
|

They will present their excuses to
you when you return to them. Say you: "Present no excuses: we
shall not believe you: Allah has already informed us of the true state
of matters concerning you: it is your actions that Allah and His Messenger
will observe: in the end will you be brought back to Him who knows
what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of
all that you did. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
95. |
They will swear to you by Allah, when
you return to them, that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone:
For they are an abomination, and Hell is their dwelling place--a fitting
recompense for the (evil)
that they did. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 96. |
They will swear unto you, that you
may be pleased with them but if you are pleased with them, Allah is
not pleased with those who disobey. |
|

The Arabs of the desert are the worst
in unbelief and hypocrisy, and most fitted to be in ignorance of the
command which Allah has sent down to His Messenger: but Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
98. |
Some of the desert Arabs look upon
their payments as a fine, and watch for disasters for you: on them
be the disaster of Evil: for Allah is He that hears and knows
(all things). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 99. |
But some of the desert Arabs believe
in Allah and the Last Day and look on their payments as pious gifts
bringing them nearer to Allah and obtaining the prayers of the Messenger.
Aye, indeed they bring them nearer (to
Him): soon will Allah admit
them to His Mercy: for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|

The vanguard (of
Islam)--the first of those who
forsook (their homes)
and of those who gave them aid, and (also)
those who follow them in (all)
good deeds--well-pleased is
Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them has He prepared gardens
under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever: that is the supreme
Felicity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
101. |
Certain of the desert Arabs round about
you are Hypocrites as well as
(desert Arabs) among the Medina
folk: they are obstinate in hypocrisy: you know them not: We know
them: twice shall We punish them: and in addition shall they be sent
to a grievous Penalty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 102. |
Others (there
are who) have acknowledged their
wrongdoings: they have mixed an act that was good with another that
was evil. Perhaps Allah will turn unto them (in
mercy): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 103. |
Of their goods take alms, that so you
might purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf, verily your
prayers are a source of security for them: and Allah is One who hears
and knows. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
104. |
Know they not that Allah does accept
repentance from His votaries and receives their gifts of charity,
and that Allah is verily He the Oft-Returning, Most-Merciful? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
105. |
And say: "Work (righteousness):
soon will Allah observe your work, and His Messenger, and the believers:
soon will you be brought back to the Knower of what is hidden and
what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that you did." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 106. |
There are (yet)
others, held in suspense for the command of Allah, whether He will
punish them, or turn in mercy to them: and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 107. |
And there are those who put up a mosque
by way of mischief and infidelity--to disunite the Believers--and
in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger
aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing
but good; but Allah does declare that they are certainly liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 108. |
Never stand you forth therein. There
is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety;
it is more worthy of your standing forth (for
prayer) therein. In it are men
who love to be purified; and Allah loves those who make themselves
pure. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 109. |
Which then is best?-- he that lays
his foundation on piety to Allah and His Good Pleasure?--or he that
lays his foundation on an undermined sand cliff ready to crumble to
pieces? And it does crumble to pieces with him into the fire of Hell.
And Allah guides not people that do wrong. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 110. |
The foundation of those who so build
is never free from suspicion and shakiness in their hearts, until
their hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 111. |
Allah has purchased of the Believers
their persons and their goods; for theirs (in
return) is the Garden (of
Paradise): they fight in His
Cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in Truth,
through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur-an: and who is more faithful
to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you
have concluded: that is the achievement supreme. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 112. |
Those that turn (to
Allah) in repentance; that serve
Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the Cause of Allah;
that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good
and forbid evil; and observe the limits set by Allah--(these
do rejoice). So proclaim the
glad tidings to the Believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 113. |
It is not fitting, for the Prophet
and those who believe that they should pray for forgiveness for pagans,
even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are
companions of the Fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 114. |
And Abraham prayed for his father's
forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when
it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated
himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted forbearing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 115. |
And Allah will not mislead a people
after He has guided them, in order that He may make clear to them
what to fear (and avoid)--
for Allah has knowledge of all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 116. |
Unto Allah belongs the dominion of
the heavens and the earth. He gives life and He takes it. Except for
Him you have no protector nor helper. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 117. |
Allah turned with favor to the Prophet,
the Muhajirs, and the Ansar-- who followed Him in a time of distress,
after that the hearts of a part of them had nearly swerved
(from duty);
but He turned to them (also):
for He is unto them Most Kind, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 118. |
(He turned in mercy also)
to the three who were left behind: (they
felt guilty) to such a degree
that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its speciousness,
and their (very)
Souls seemed straitened to them-- and they perceived that there is
no fleeing from Allah (and no
refuge) but to Himself. Then
He turned to them, that they might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning,
Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 119. |
O you who believe! Fear Allah and be
with those who are true (in
word and deed). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 120. |
It was not fitting for the people of
Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighborhood, to refuse to follow
Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing
could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed
of righteousness--whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger,
in the Cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers,
or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffers not
the reward to be lost of those who do good-- |
