Verses 24 — Madani; Revealed at Medina — Sections 3
١- سَبَّحَ لِلَّـهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ◯
1. Whatever is In the heavens and On earth, let it declare The Praises and Glory Of God : for He is The Exalted in Might, The Wise.
هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِن دِيَارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ ۚ مَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن يَخْرُجُوا ۖ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُم مِّنَ اللَّـهِ فَأَتَاهُمُ اللَّـهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا ۖ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ ۚ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُم بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاعْتَبِرُوا يَا أُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ ◯
2. It is He Who got out The Unbelievers among The People of the Book From their homes At the first gathering (Of the forces). Little did ye think That they would get out : And they thought That their fortresses Would defend them from God ! But the (Wrath of) God Came to them from quarters From which they little Expected (it), and cast Terror into their hearts, So that they destroyed Their dwellings by their own Hands and the hands Of the Believers. Take warning, then, O ye with eyes (to see) !
٢- وَلَوْلَا أَن كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَلَاءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابُ النَّارِ ◯
3. And had it not been That God has decreed Banishment for them, He would certainly have Punished them in this world : And in the Hereafter They shall (certainly) have The Punishment of the Fire.
٣- ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّـهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۖ وَمَن يُشَاقِّ اللَّـهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ ◯
4. That is because they Resisted God and His Apostle : And if any one resists God, Verily God is severe In Punishment.
٤- مَا قَطَعْتُم مِّن لِّينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَىٰ أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ ◯
5. Whether ye cut down (O ye Muslims !) The tender palm-trees, Or ye left them standing On their roots, it was By leave of God, and In order that He might Cover with shame The rebellious transgressors.
٥- وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلَا رِكَابٍ وَلَـٰكِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُسَلِّطُ رُسُلَهُ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ◯
6. What God has bestowed On His Apostle (and taken Away) from them—for this Ye made no expedition With either cavalry or camelry : But God gives power To His apostles over Any He pleases : and God Has power over all things.
٦- مَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰ فَلِلَّـهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ كَيْ لَا يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّـهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ ◯
7. What God has bestowed On His Apostle (and taken Away) from the people Of the townships,—belongs To God,—to His Apostle And to kindred and orphans, The needy and the wayfarer ; In order that it may not (Merely) make a circuit Between the wealth among you. So take what the Apostle Assigns to you, and deny Yourselves that which he Withholds from you. And fear God ; for God Is strict in Punishment.
٧- لِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَرِضْوَانًا وَيَنصُرُونَ اللَّـهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ ◯
8. (Some part is due) To the indigent Muhājirs, Those who were expelled From their homes and their property, While seeking Grace from God And (His) Good Pleasure, And aiding God and His Apostle : Such are indeed The sincere ones ;—
٨- وَالَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُوا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمَانَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ حَاجَةً مِّمَّا أُوتُوا وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ ۚ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ ◯
9. But those who Before them, had homes (In Medina) And had adopted the Faith,— Show their affection to such As came to them for refuge, And entertain no desire In their hearts for things Given to the (latter), But give them preference Over themselves, even though Poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from The covetousness of their own Souls,—they are the ones That achieve prosperity.
٩- وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ◯
10. And those who came After them say : “ Our Lord ! Forgive us, and our brethren Who came before us Into the Faith, And leave not, In our hearts, Rancour (or sense of injury) Against those who have believed. Our Lord ! Thou art Indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful. ”
Section 2
١٠- أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نَافَقُوا يَقُولُونَ لِإِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلَا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَدًا أَبَدًا وَإِن قُوتِلْتُمْ لَنَنصُرَنَّكُمْ وَاللَّـهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ ◯
11. Hast thou not observed The Hypocrites say To their misbelieving brethren Among the People of the Book ?— “ If ye are expelled, We too will go out With you, and we will Never hearken to any one In your affair ; and if Ye are attacked (in fight) We will help you. ” But God is witness That they are indeed liars.
١١- لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَلَئِن قُوتِلُوا لَا يَنصُرُونَهُمْ وَلَئِن نَّصَرُوهُمْ لَيُوَلُّنَّ الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ ◯
12. If they are expelled, Never will they go out With them ; and if they Are attacked (in fight), They will never help them ; And if they do help them, They will turn their backs ; So they will receive no help.
١٢- لَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنَ اللَّـهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ ◯
13. Of a truth ye are Stronger (than they) Because of the terror In their hearts, (Sent) by God. This is because they are Men devoid of understanding.
١٣- لَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِي قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَاءِ جُدُرٍ ۚ بَأْسُهُم بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ ۚ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّىٰ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ ◯
14. They will not fight you (Even) together, except In fortified townships, Or from behind walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) Amongst themselves : Thou wouldst think They were united, But their hearts are divided : That is because they Are a people devoid Of wisdom.
١٤- كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيبًا ۖ ذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ◯
15. Like those who lately Preceded them, they have Tasted the evil result Of their conduct ; and (In the Hereafter there is) For them a grievous Penalty ;—

16. (Their allies deceived them), Like the Evil One, When he says to man, “ Deny God ” : but when (Man) denies God, (The Evil One) says, “ I am free of thee : I do fear God, The Lord of the Worlds ! ”
١٦- فَكَانَ عَاقِبَتَهُمَا أَنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ خَالِدَيْنِ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَاءُ الظَّالِمِينَ ◯
17. The end of both will be That they will go Into the Fire, dwelling Therein for ever. Such is the reward Of the wrong-doers.
