Surah Al Hajj

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّڪُمۡ‌ۚ

O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him!

إِنَّ زَلۡزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىۡءٌ عَظِيمٌ۬ 

Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgement) is a terrible thing.

يَوۡمَ تَرَوۡنَهَا تَذۡهَلُ ڪُلُّ مُرۡضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرۡضَعَتۡ وَتَضَعُ ڪُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمۡلٍ حَمۡلَهَا

The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one will drop her load,

وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ۬

and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allah.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍ۬

And among mankind is he who disputes concerning Allah, without knowledge,

وَيَتَّبِعُ ڪُلَّ شَيۡطَـٰنٍ۬ مَّرِيدٍ۬ 

and follows every rebellious (disobedient to Allah) Shaitan (devil) (devoid of each and every kind of good).

كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُ ۥ مَن تَوَلَّاهُ فَأَنَّهُ ۥ يُضِلُّهُ ۥوَيَہۡدِيهِ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ 

For him (the devil) it is decreed that whosoever follows him, he will mislead him, and will drive him to the torment of the Fire.

(Tafsir At-Tabaree)

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمۡ فِى رَيۡبٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡبَعۡثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ۬

O mankind!

If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust,

ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ۬ ثُمَّ مِنۡ عَلَقَةٍ۬ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضۡغَةٍ۬ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ۬ وَغَيۡرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ۬ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمۡ‌ۚ

then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh, some formed and some unformed (miscarriage), that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will).

وَنُقِرُّ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ مَا نَشَآءُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ۬ مُّسَمًّ۬ى

And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term,

ثُمَّ نُخۡرِجُكُمۡ طِفۡلاً۬ ثُمَّ لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاْ أَشُدَّڪُمۡ‌ۖ

then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength.

وَمِنڪُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ

And among you there is he who dies (young),

وَمِنڪُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرۡذَلِ ٱلۡعُمُرِ لِڪَيۡلَا يَعۡلَمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ عِلۡمٍ۬ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا‌ۚ

and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known.

وَتَرَى ٱلۡأَرۡضَ هَامِدَةً۬

And you see the earth barren,

فَإِذَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱهۡتَزَّتۡ وَرَبَتۡ وَأَنۢبَتَتۡ مِن ڪُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٍ۬ 

but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).

ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ

That is because Allah, He is the Truth,

وَأَنَّهُ ۥ يُحۡىِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ قَدِيرٌ۬

and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things.

وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ۬ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيہَا

And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it,

وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلۡقُبُورِ 

and certainly, Allah will resurrect those who are in the graves.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَـٰدِلُ فِى ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍ۬ وَلَا هُدً۬ى وَلَا كِتَـٰبٍ۬ مُّنِيرٍ۬ 

And among men is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allah),

ثَانِىَ عِطۡفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ

Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allah), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allah.

لَهُ ۥ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡىٌ۬‌ۖ

For him there is disgrace in this worldly life,

وَنُذِيقُهُ ۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ 

and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).

ذَٲلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاكَ

That is because of what your hands have sent forth,

وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّـٰمٍ۬ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ

and verily, Allah is not unjust to (His) slaves.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرۡفٍ۬‌ۖ

And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt);

فَإِنۡ أَصَابَهُ ۥ خَيۡرٌ ٱطۡمَأَنَّ بِهِۦ‌ۖ

if good befalls him, he is content therewith;

وَإِنۡ أَصَابَتۡهُ فِتۡنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦ

but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam).

خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأَخِرَةَ‌ۚ

He loses both this world and the Hereafter.

ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخُسۡرَانُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ 

That is the evident loss.

يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُ ۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُ ۥ‌ۚ

He calls besides Allah unto that which hurts him not, nor profits him.

ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ ٱلۡبَعِيدُ 

That is a straying far away.

يَدۡعُواْ لَمَن ضَرُّهُ ۥۤ أَقۡرَبُ مِن نَّفۡعِهِۦ‌ۚ

He calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his profit;

لَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَلَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡعَشِيرُ 

certainly, and evil Maula (patron) and certainly an evil friend!

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِہَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ‌ۚ

Truly, Allah will admit those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds (according to the Quran and the Sunnah) to Gardens underneath which rivers flow (in Paradise).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ 

Verily, Allah does what He wills.

مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِ

Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him (Muhammad SAW) in this world and in the Hereafter,

فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡطَعۡ

let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and let him strangle himself.

فَلۡيَنظُرۡ هَلۡ يُذۡهِبَنَّ كَيۡدُهُ ۥ مَا يَغِيظُ

Then let him see whether his plan will remove that whereat he rages!

وَڪَذَٲلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ۬

Thus have We sent it (this Quran) down (to Muhammad SAW) as clear signs, evidences and proofs,

وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَہۡدِى مَن يُرِيدُ 

and surely, Allah guides whom He wills.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـِٔينَ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلۡمَجُوسَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَڪُوٓاْ

Verily, those who believe (in Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who worship others besides Allah,

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۚ

truly, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ شَہِيدٌ 

Verily! Allah is Witness over all things.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسۡجُدُ لَهُ ۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

See you not that to Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth,

وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَڪَثِيرٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ‌ۖ

and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and Ad-Dawab (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and many of mankind?

وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡعَذَابُ‌ۗ

But there are many (men) on whom the punishment is justified.

وَمَن يُہِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ ۥ مِن مُّكۡرِمٍ‌ۚ

And whomsoever Allah disgraces, none can honour him.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ   

Verily! Allah does what He wills. ۩

هَـٰذَانِ خَصۡمَانِ ٱخۡتَصَمُواْ فِى رَبِّہِمۡ‌ۖ

These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord;

فَٱلَّذِينَ ڪَفَرُواْ قُطِّعَتۡ لَهُمۡ ثِيَابٌ۬ مِّن نَّارٍ۬

then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them,

يُصَبُّ مِن فَوۡقِ رُءُوسِہِمُ ٱلۡحَمِيمُ

boiling water will be poured down over their heads.

يُصۡهَرُ بِهِۦ مَا فِى بُطُونِہِمۡ وَٱلۡجُلُودُ 

With it will melt or vanish away what is within their bellies, as well as (their) skins.

وَلَهُم مَّقَـٰمِعُ مِنۡ حَدِيدٍ۬ 

And for them are hooked rods of iron (to punish them).

ڪُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡہَا مِنۡ غَمٍّ أُعِيدُواْ فِيہَا

Every time they seek to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be driven back therein, and (it will be) said to them:

وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ 

"Taste the torment of burning!"

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ

Truly, Allah will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to Gardens underneath which rivers flow (in Paradise),

يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ۬ وَلُؤۡلُؤً۬ا‌ۖ

wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls

وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ۬

and their garments therein will be of silk.

وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيِّبِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ 

And they are guided (in this world) unto goodly speech (i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah, Alhamdu lillah, recitation of the Quran, etc.) and they are guided to the Path of Him (i.e. Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism), Who is Worthy of all praises.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ

Verily! Those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and from Al-Masjid-al- Haram (at Makkah)

ٱلَّذِى جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلۡعَـٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلۡبَادِ‌ۚ

which We have made (open) to (all) men, the dweller in it and the visitor from the country are equal there (as regards its sanctity and pilgrimage (Hajj and Umrah)).

وَمَن يُرِدۡ فِيهِ بِإِلۡحَادِۭ بِظُلۡمٍ۬ نُّذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ۬

And whoever inclines to evil actions therein or to do wrong (i.e. practise polytheism and leave Islamic Monotheism), him We shall cause to taste a painful torment.

وَإِذۡ بَوَّأۡنَا لِإِبۡرَٲهِيمَ مَكَانَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ

And (remember) when We showed Ibrahim (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Kabah at Makkah) (saying):

أَن لَّا تُشۡرِكۡ بِى شَيۡـًٔ۬ا

"Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, (La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Islamic Monotheism),

وَطَهِّرۡ بَيۡتِىَ لِلطَّآٮِٕفِينَ وَٱلۡقَآٮِٕمِينَ وَٱلرُّڪَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ

and sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up for prayer, and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to Allah), and make prostration (in prayer, etc.);"

وَأَذِّن فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَجِّ يَأۡتُوكَ رِجَالاً۬ وَعَلَىٰ ڪُلِّ ضَامِرٍ۬ يَأۡتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ۬

And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj).

لِّيَشۡهَدُواْ مَنَـٰفِعَ لَهُمۡ

That they may witness things that are of benefit to them,

(i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.)

وَيَذۡڪُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ۬ مَّعۡلُومَـٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ‌ۖ

and mention the Name of Allah on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah), over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice) (at the time of their slaughtering by saying: Bismillah, Wallahu-Akbar, Allahumma Minka wa Ilaik).

فَكُلُواْ مِنۡہَا وَأَطۡعِمُواْ ٱلۡبَآٮِٕسَ ٱلۡفَقِيرَ 

Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time.

ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡضُواْ تَفَثَهُمۡ وَلۡيُوفُواْ نُذُورَهُمۡ وَلۡيَطَّوَّفُواْ بِٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٱلۡعَتِيقِ 

Then let them complete the prescribed duties (Manasik of Hajj) for them, and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Kabah at Makkah).

ذَٲلِكَ

That (Manasik prescribed duties of Hajj is the obligation that mankind owes to Allah),

وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ حُرُمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٌ۬ لَّهُ ۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ‌ۗ

and whoever honours the sacred things of Allah, then that is better for him with his Lord.

وَأُحِلَّتۡ لَڪُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ‌ۖ

The cattle are lawful to you, except those (that will be) mentioned to you (as exceptions).

فَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلرِّجۡسَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَوۡثَـٰنِ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ قَوۡلَ ٱلزُّورِ 

So shun the abomination (worshipping) of idol, and shun lying speech (false statements)

حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيۡرَ مُشۡرِكِينَ بِهِۦ‌ۚ

Hunafa Lillah (i.e. to worship none but Allah), not associating partners (in worship, etc.) unto Him

وَمَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخۡطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيۡرُ

and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him,

أَوۡ تَهۡوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ۬ سَحِيقٍ۬ 

or the wind had thrown him to a far off place.

ذَٲلِكَ

Thus it is.

(what has been mentioned in the above said Verses (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) is an obligation that mankind owes to Allah)

وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ شَعَـٰٓٮِٕرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقۡوَى ٱلۡقُلُوبِ

And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart.

لَكُمۡ فِيہَا مَنَـٰفِعُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ۬ مُّسَمًّ۬ى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ إِلَى ٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٱلۡعَتِيقِ 

In them (cattle offered for sacrifice) are benefits for you for an appointed term, and afterwards they are brought for sacrifice unto the ancient House (the Haram - sacred territory of Makkah city).

وَلِڪُلِّ أُمَّةٍ۬ جَعَلۡنَا مَنسَكً۬ا لِّيَذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ‌ۗ

And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that they may mention the Name of Allah over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food.

فَإِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهٌ۬ وَٲحِدٌ۬ فَلَهُ ۥۤ أَسۡلِمُواْ‌ۗ

And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God Allah), so you must submit to Him Alone (in Islam).

وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُخۡبِتِينَ 

And (O Muhammad SAW) give glad tidings to the Mukhbitin (those who obey Allah with humility and are humble from among the true believers of Islamic Monotheism),

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَہُمۡ

Whose hearts are filled with fear when Allah is mentioned; who patiently bear whatever may befall them (of calamities);

وَٱلۡمُقِيمِى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ 

and who perform AsSalat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and who spend (in Allah's Cause) out of what We have provided them.

وَٱلۡبُدۡنَ جَعَلۡنَـٰهَا لَكُم مِّن شَعَـٰٓٮِٕرِ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ فِيہَا خَيۡرٌ۬‌ۖ

And the Budn (cows, oxen, or camels driven to be offered as sacrifices by the pilgrims at the sanctuary of Makkah.) We have made for you as among the Symbols of Allah, therein you have much good.

فَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡہَا صَوَآفَّ‌ۖ

So mention the Name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines (for sacrifice).

فَإِذَا وَجَبَتۡ جُنُوبُہَا فَكُلُواْ مِنۡہَا وَأَطۡعِمُواْ ٱلۡقَانِعَ وَٱلۡمُعۡتَرَّ‌ۚ

Then, when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat thereof, and feed the beggar who does not ask (men), and the beggar who asks (men).

كَذَٲلِكَ سَخَّرۡنَـٰهَا لَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

Thus have We made them subject to you that you may be grateful.

لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنكُمۡ‌ۚ

It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him.

كَذَٲلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمۡ لِتُكَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَٮٰكُمۡ‌ۗ

Thus have We made them subject to you that you may magnify Allah for His Guidance to you.

وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ 

And give glad tidings (O Muhammad SAW) to the Muhsinoon (doers of good).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٲفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ‌ۗ

Truly, Allah defends those who believe.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ۬ كَفُورٍ

Verily! Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allah (those who disobey Allah but obey Shaitan (Satan)).

أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ ظُلِمُواْ‌ۚ

Permission to fight is given to those (i.e. believers against disbelievers), who are fighting them, (and) because they (believers) have been wronged,

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصۡرِهِمۡ لَقَدِيرٌ

and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory

ٱلَّذِينَ أُخۡرِجُواْ مِن دِيَـٰرِهِم بِغَيۡرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ‌ۗ

Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is Allah." -

وَلَوۡلَا دَفۡعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعۡضَہُم بِبَعۡضٍ۬

For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another,

لَّهُدِّمَتۡ صَوَٲمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ۬ وَصَلَوَٲتٌ۬ وَمَسَـٰجِدُ يُذۡڪَرُ فِيہَا ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ ڪَثِيرً۬ا‌ۗ

monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down.

وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ ۥۤ‌ۗ

Verily, Allah will help those who help His (Cause).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ 

Truly, Allah is All- Strong, All-Mighty.

ٱلَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّـٰهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّڪَوٰةَ

Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give them power in the land, (they) order for Iqamat-as-Salat. (i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) (the males in mosques)), to pay the Zakat

وَأَمَرُواْ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَنَهَوۡاْ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ‌ۗ

and they enjoin Al-Maroof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism and all that Islam has forbidden) (i.e. they make the Quran as the law of their country in all the spheres of life).

وَلِلَّهِ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡأُمُورِ 

And with Allah rests the end of (all) matters (of creatures).

وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ ڪَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ۬ وَعَادٌ۬ وَثَمُودُ 

And if they belie you (O Muhammad SAW), so were belied the Prophets before them, (by) the people of Nooh (Noah), Ad and Thamood,

وَقَوۡمُ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطٍ۬

And the people of Ibrahim (Abraham) and the people of Lout (Lot),

وَأَصۡحَـٰبُ مَدۡيَنَ‌ۖ

And the dwellers of Madyan (Midian);

وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰ فَأَمۡلَيۡتُ لِلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُهُمۡ‌ۖ

and belied was Moosa (Moses), but I granted respite to the disbelievers for a while, then I seized them,

فَكَيۡفَ ڪَانَ نَكِيرِ

and how (terrible) was My Punishment (against their wrong-doing).

فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ۬

And many a township have We destroyed while it was given to wrong-doing,

فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئۡرٍ۬ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ۬ وَقَصۡرٍ۬ مَّشِيدٍ 

so that it lies in ruins (up to this day), and (many) a deserted well and lofty castles!

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

Have they not travelled through the land,

فَتَكُونَ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٌ۬ يَعۡقِلُونَ بِہَآ أَوۡ ءَاذَانٌ۬ يَسۡمَعُونَ بِہَا‌ۖ

and have they hearts wherewith to understand and ears wherewith to hear?

فَإِنَّہَا لَا تَعۡمَى ٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرُ وَلَـٰكِن تَعۡمَى ٱلۡقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِى فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ 

Verily, it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow blind.

وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ بِٱلۡعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخۡلِفَ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُ ۥ‌ۚ

And they ask you to hasten on the torment! And Allah fails not His Promise.

وَإِنَّ يَوۡمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلۡفِ سَنَةٍ۬ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

And verily, a day with your Lord is as a thousand years of what you reckon.

وَڪَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَمۡلَيۡتُ لَهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ۬ ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُہَا

And many a township did I give respite while it was given to wrong-doing. Then (in the end) I seized it (with punishment).

وَإِلَىَّ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ 

And to Me is the (final) return (of all).

قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬ 

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O mankind! I am (sent) to you only as a plain warner."

فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٌ۬ وَرِزۡقٌ۬ كَرِيمٌ۬ 

So those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them is forgiveness and Rizqoon Kareem (generous provision, i.e. Paradise).

وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوۡاْ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا مُعَـٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

But those who strive against Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), to frustrate and obstruct them, they will be dwellers of the Hell-fire.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ۬ وَلَا نَبِىٍّ إِلَّآ إِذَا تَمَنَّىٰٓ أَلۡقَى ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ فِىٓ أُمۡنِيَّتِهِۦ

Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but; when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it.

فَيَنسَخُ ٱللَّهُ مَا يُلۡقِى ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ ثُمَّ يُحۡڪِمُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ‌ۗ

But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations.

وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ۬ 

And Allah is All-Knower, All- Wise:

لِّيَجۡعَلَ مَا يُلۡقِى ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ فِتۡنَةً۬ لِّلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِہِم مَّرَضٌ۬ وَٱلۡقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمۡ‌ۗ

That He (Allah) may make what is thrown in by Shaitan (Satan) a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy and disbelief) and whose hearts are hardened.

وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَفِى شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٍ۬  

And certainly, the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) are in an opposition far-off (from the truth against Allah's Messenger and the believers).

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ

And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it (this Quran) is the truth from your Lord,

فَيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهِۦ فَتُخۡبِتَ لَهُ ۥ قُلُوبُهُمۡ‌ۗ

and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may submit to it with humility.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬ 

And verily, Allah is the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Path.

وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى مِرۡيَةٍ۬ مِّنۡهُ حَتَّىٰ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةً

And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt about it (this Quran) until the Hour comes suddenly upon them,

أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَقِيمٍ 

or there comes to them the torment of the Day after which there will be no night (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).

ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلَّهِ يَحۡڪُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ۚ

The sovereignty on that Day will be that of Allah (the one Who has no partners). He will judge between them.

فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

So those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds will be in Gardens of delight (Paradise).

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَڪَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ۬ مُّهِينٌ۬ 

And those who disbelieved and belied Our Verses (of this Quran), for them will be a humiliating torment (in Hell).

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوٓاْ أَوۡ مَاتُواْ لَيَرۡزُقَنَّهُمُ ٱللَّهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنً۬ا‌ۚ

Those who emigrated in the Cause of Allah and after that were killed or died, surely, Allah will provide a good provision for them.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٲزِقِينَ 

And verily, it is Allah Who indeed is the Best of those who make provision.

لَيُدۡخِلَنَّهُم مُّدۡخَلاً۬ يَرۡضَوۡنَهُ ۥ‌ۗ

Truly, He will make them enter an entrance with which they shall be well-pleased,

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ۬ 

and verily, Allah indeed is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

ذَٲلِكَ  

That is so.

وَمَنۡ عَاقَبَ بِمِثۡلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِۦ ثُمَّ بُغِىَ عَلَيۡهِ لَيَنصُرَنَّهُ ٱللَّهُ‌ۗ

And whoever has retaliated with the like of that which he was made to suffer, and then has again been wronged, Allah will surely help him.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ۬ 

Verily! Allah indeed is Oft-Pardoning, Oft- Forgiving.

ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيۡلِ

That is because Allah merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night.

وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ۬ 

And verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer.

ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ هُوَ ٱلۡبَـٰطِلُ

That is because Allah He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Batil (falsehood)

وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡعَلِىُّ ٱلۡڪَبِيرُ 

And verily, Allah He is the Most High, the Most Great.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً۬ فَتُصۡبِحُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُخۡضَرَّةً‌ۗ

See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and then the earth becomes green?

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ۬ 

Verily, Allah is the Most Kind and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.

لَّهُ ۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth.

وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡغَنِىُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ 

And verily, Allah He is Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ

See you not that Allah has subjected to you (mankind) all that is on the earth,

وَٱلۡفُلۡكَ تَجۡرِى فِى ٱلۡبَحۡرِ بِأَمۡرِهِۦ

and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command?

وَيُمۡسِكُ ٱلسَّمَآءَ أَن تَقَعَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۤ‌ۗ

He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬

Verily, Allah is, for mankind, full of Kindness, Most Merciful.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحۡيَاڪُمۡ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُحۡيِيكُمۡ‌ۗ

It is He, Who gave you life, and then will cause you to die, and will again give you life (on the Day of Resurrection).

إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لَڪَفُورٌ۬ 

Verily! Man is indeed an ingrate.

لِّكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ۬ جَعَلۡنَا مَنسَكًا هُمۡ نَاسِڪُوهُ‌ۖ

For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies (e.g. slaughtering of the beast of cattle during the three days of stay at Meena (Makkah) during the Hajj (pilgrimage)) which they must follow;

فَلَا يُنَـٰزِعُنَّكَ فِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ‌ۚ

so let them (pagans) not dispute with you on the matter,

(i.e. to eat of the cattle which you slaughter, and not to eat of cattle which Allah kills by its natural death)

وَٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ‌ۖ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ هُدً۬ى مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬ 

but invite them to your Lord. Verily! You (O Muhammad SAW) indeed are on the (true) straight guidance. (i.e. the true religion of Islamic Monotheism).

وَإِن جَـٰدَلُوكَ فَقُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ 

And if they argue with you (as regards the slaughtering of the sacrifices), say; "Allah knows best of what you do.

ٱللَّهُ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَڪُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ 

"Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein you used to differ."

أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ

Know you not that Allah knows all that is in heaven and on earth?

إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ فِى كِتَـٰبٍ‌ۚ

Verily, it is (all) in the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz).

إِنَّ ذَٲلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ۬

Verily! That is easy for Allah.

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَـٰنً۬اوَمَا لَيۡسَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬‌ۗ

And they worship besides Allah others for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge

وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ۬ 

and for the Zalimoon (wrong-doers, polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) there is no helper.

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ۬ تَعۡرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلۡمُنڪَرَ‌ۖ

And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will notice a denial on the faces of the disbelievers!

يَكَادُونَ يَسۡطُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ يَتۡلُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَا‌ۗ

They are nearly ready to attack with violence those who recite Our Verses to them.

قُلۡ أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ۬ مِّن ذَٲلِكُمُ‌ۗ

Say: "Shall I tell you of something worse than that?

ٱلنَّارُ وَعَدَهَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ‌ۖ

The Fire (of Hell) which Allah has promised to those who disbelieve,

وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ 

and worst indeed is that destination!"

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ۬ فَٱسۡتَمِعُواْ لَهُ ۥۤ‌ۚ

O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully):

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخۡلُقُواْ ذُبَابً۬ا وَلَوِ ٱجۡتَمَعُواْ لَهُ ۥ‌ۖ

Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose.

وَإِن يَسۡلُبۡہُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا لَّا يَسۡتَنقِذُوهُ مِنۡهُ‌ۚ

And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly.

ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلۡمَطۡلُوبُ 

So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.

مَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦۤ‌ۗ

They have not estimated Allah His Rightful Estimate;

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ 

Verily, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.

ٱللَّهُ يَصۡطَفِى مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕڪَةِ رُسُلاً۬ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ‌ۚ

Allah chooses Messengers from angels and from men.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ۬ 

Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ‌ۗ

He knows what is before them, and what is behind them.

وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ

And to Allah return all matters (for decision).

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱرۡڪَعُواْ وَٱسۡجُدُواْ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ

O you who believe! Bow down, and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord

وَٱفۡعَلُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَ لَعَلَّڪُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ 

and do good that you may be successful. ۩

وَجَـٰهِدُواْ فِى ٱللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِۦ‌ۚ

And strive hard in Allah's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior).

هُوَ ٱجۡتَبَٮٰكُمۡ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِى ٱلدِّينِ مِنۡ حَرَجٍ۬‌ۚ

He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship,

مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمۡ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ‌ۚ

it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism).

هُوَ سَمَّٮٰكُمُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَفِى هَـٰذَا

It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Quran),

لِيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُونُواْ شُہَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ‌ۚ

that the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind!

فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوۡلَٮٰكُمۡ‌ۖ

So perform AsSalat (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to Allah (i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs) He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.),

فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ

what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!
