Those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allāh - He will waste their deeds.

Allatheena kafaroo wasaddooAAan sabeeli Allahi adalla aAAmalahum

And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been sent down upon Muḥammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition.

Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati waamanoo bimanuzzila AAala muhammadin wahuwa alhaqqu minrabbihim kaffara AAanhum sayyi-atihim waaslahabalahum

That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allāh present to the people their comparisons.

Thalika bi-anna allatheenakafaroo ittabaAAoo albatila waanna allatheena amanooittabaAAoo alhaqqa min rabbihim kathalika yadribuAllahu linnasi amthalahum

So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure [their] bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allāh had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allāh - never will He waste their deeds.

Fa-itha laqeetumu allatheenakafaroo fadarba arriqabi hattaitha athkhantumoohum fashuddoo alwathaqa fa-immamannan baAAdu wa-imma fidaan hatta tadaAAaalharbu awzaraha thalika walaw yashaoAllahu lantasara minhum walakinliyabluwa baAAdakum bibaAAdin wallatheenaqutiloo fee sabeeli Allahi falan yudillaaAAmalahum

He will guide them and amend their condition

sayahdeehim wayuslihu balahum

And admit them to Paradise, which He has made known to them.

Wayudkhiluhumu aljannata AAarrafahalahum

O you who have believed, if you support Allāh, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooin tansuroo Allaha yansurkum wayuthabbit aqdamakum

But those who disbelieve - for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds.

Wallatheena kafaroo fataAAsanlahum waadalla aAAmalahum

That is because they disliked what Allāh revealed, so He rendered worthless their deeds.

Thalika bi-annahum karihoo maanzala Allahu faahbata aAAmalahum

Have they not traveled through the land and seen how was the end of those before them? Allāh destroyed [everything] over them, and for the disbelievers is something comparable.

Afalam yaseeroo fee al-ardi fayanthurookayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihimdammara Allahu AAalayhim walilkafireena amthaluha

That is because Allāh is the protector of those who have believed and because the disbelievers have no protector.

Thalika bi-anna Allaha mawlaallatheena amanoo waanna alkafireena lamawla lahum

Indeed, Allāh will admit those who have believed and done righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow, but those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as grazing livestock eat, and the Fire will be a residence for them.

Inna Allaha yudkhilu allatheenaamanoo waAAamiloo assalihati jannatintajree min tahtiha al-anharu wallatheenakafaroo yatamattaAAoona waya/kuloona kama ta/kulu al-anAAamuwannaru mathwan lahum

And how many a city was stronger than your city [i.e., Makkah] which drove you out? We destroyed them; and there was no helper for them.

Wakaayyin min qaryatin hiya ashaddu quwwatanmin qaryatika allatee akhrajatka ahlaknahum fala nasiralahum

So is he who is on clear evidence from his Lord like him to whom the evil of his work has been made attractive and they follow their [own] desires?

Afaman kana AAala bayyinatinmin rabbihi kaman zuyyina lahu soo-o AAamalihi wattabaAAooahwaahum

Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised, wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey, in which they will have from all [kinds of] fruits and forgiveness from their Lord... [Are its inhabitants] like those who abide eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines?

Mathalu aljannati allatee wuAAidaalmuttaqoona feeha anharun min ma-in ghayri asininwaanharun min labanin lam yataghayyar taAAmuhuwaanharun min khamrin laththatin lishsharibeenawaanharun min AAasalin musaffan walahum feehamin kulli aththamarati wamaghfiratun min rabbihimkaman huwa khalidun fee annari wasuqoo maanhameeman faqattaAAa amAAaahum

And among them, [O Muḥammad], are those who listen to you, until when they depart from you, they say to those who were given knowledge, "What has he said just now?" Those are the ones of whom Allāh has sealed over their hearts and who have followed their [own] desires.

Waminhum man yastamiAAu ilayka hattaitha kharajoo min AAindika qaloo lillatheenaootoo alAAilma matha qala anifan ola-ikaallatheena tabaAAa Allahu AAalaquloobihim wattabaAAoo ahwaahum

And those who are guided - He increases them in guidance and gives them their righteousness.

Wallatheena ihtadaw zadahumhudan waatahum taqwahum

Then do they await except that the Hour should come upon them unexpectedly? But already there have come [some of] its indications. Then how [i.e., what good] to them, when it has come, will be their remembrance?

Fahal yanthuroona illaassaAAata an ta/tiyahum baghtatan faqad jaaashratuha faanna lahum itha jaat-humthikrahum

So know, [O Muḥammad], that there is no deity except Allāh and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And Allāh knows of your movement and your resting place.

FaAAlam annahu la ilahailla Allahu wastaghfir lithanbikawalilmu/mineena walmu/minati wallahuyaAAlamu mutaqallabakum wamathwakum

Those who believe say, "Why has a sūrah not been sent down?" But when a precise sūrah is revealed and battle is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] looking at you with a look of one overcome by death. And more appropriate for them [would have been]

Wayaqoolu allatheena amanoolawla nuzzilat sooratun fa-itha onzilat sooratun muhkamatunwathukira feeha alqitalu raayta allatheenafee quloobihim maradun yanthuroona ilayka natharaalmaghshiyyi AAalayhi mina almawti faawla lahum

Obedience and good words. And when the matter [of fighting] was determined, if they had been true to Allāh, it would have been better for them.

TaAAatun waqawlun maAAroofun fa-ithaAAazama al-amru falaw sadaqoo Allaha lakanakhayran lahum

So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship?

Fahal AAasaytum in tawallaytum an tufsidoofee al-ardi watuqattiAAoo arhamakum

Those [who do so] are the ones that Allāh has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision.

Ola-ika allatheena laAAanahumuAllahu faasammahum waaAAma absarahum

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’ān, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?

Afala yatadabbaroona alqur-anaam AAala quloobin aqfaluha

Indeed, those who reverted back [to disbelief] after guidance had become clear to them - Satan enticed them and prolonged hope for them.

Inna allatheena irtaddoo AAalaadbarihim min baAAdi ma tabayyana lahumu alhudaashshaytanu sawwala lahum waamla lahum

That is because they said to those who disliked what Allāh sent down, "We will obey you in part of the matter." And Allāh knows what they conceal.

Thalika bi-annahum qaloo lillatheenakarihoo ma nazzala Allahu sanuteeAAukum feebaAAdi al-amri wallahu yaAAlamu israrahum

Then how [will it be] when the angels take them in death, striking their faces and their backs?

Fakayfa itha tawaffat-humu almala-ikatuyadriboona wujoohahum waadbarahum

That is because they followed what angered Allāh and disliked [what earns] His pleasure, so He rendered worthless their deeds.

Thalika bi-annahumu ittabaAAoo maaskhata Allaha wakarihoo ridwanahufaahbata aAAmalahum

Or do those in whose hearts is disease think that Allāh would never expose their [feelings of] hatred?

Am hasiba allatheena feequloobihim maradun an lan yukhrija Allahu adghanahum

And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of [their] speech. And Allāh knows your deeds.

Walaw nashao laaraynakahumfalaAAaraftahum biseemahum walataAArifannahum fee lahnialqawli wallahu yaAAlamu aAAmalakum

And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allāh] and the patient, and We will test your affairs.

Walanabluwannakum hattanaAAlama almujahideena minkum wassabireenawanabluwa akhbarakum

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allāh and opposed the Messenger after guidance had become clear to them - never will they harm Allāh at all, and He will render worthless their deeds.

Inna allatheena kafaroo wasaddooAAan sabeeli Allahi washaqqoo arrasoola minbaAAdi ma tabayyana lahumu alhuda lan yadurooAllaha shay-an wasayuhbitu aAAmalahum

O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and do not invalidate your deeds.

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooateeAAoo Allaha waateeAAoo arrasoolawala tubtiloo aAAmalakum

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allāh and then died while they were disbelievers - never will Allāh forgive them.

Inna allatheena kafaroo wasaddooAAan sabeeli Allahi thumma matoo wahum kuffarunfalan yaghfira Allahu lahum

So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allāh is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward of] your deeds.

Fala tahinoo watadAAoo ila assalmiwaantumu al-aAAlawna wallahu maAAakum walanyatirakum aAAmalakum

[This] worldly life is only amusement and diversion. And if you believe and fear Allāh, He will give you your rewards and not ask you for your properties.

Innama alhayatu addunyalaAAibun walahwun wa-in tu/minoo watattaqoo yu/tikum ojoorakumwala yas-alkum amwalakum

If He should ask you for them and press you, you would withhold, and He would expose your hatred [i.e., unwillingness].

In yas-alkumooha fayuhfikumtabkhaloo wayukhrij adghanakum

Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of Allāh - but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allāh is the Free of need, while you are the needy. And if you turn away [i.e., refuse], He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.
