61. As-Saff

61:1

سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿١﴾

Sabbaḥa lillāhi mā fī as-samāwāti wamā fī al-arḍi wahuwa al-ʿazīzu al-ḥakīm

All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

61:2

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٢﴾

Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū lima taqūlūna mā lā tafʿalūn

O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not?

61:3

كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٣﴾

Kabura maqtan ʿinda Allāhi an taqūlū mā lā tafʿalūn

It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.

61:4

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَـٰنٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ ﴿٤﴾

Inna Allāha yuḥibbu alladhīna yuqātilūna fī sabīlihi ṣaffan kaʾannahum bunyānun marṣūṣ

Lo! Allah loveth them who battle for His cause in ranks, as if they were a solid structure.

61:5

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَـٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِى وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوٓا۟ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ ﴿٥﴾

Waʾidh qāla mūsā liqawmihi yā qawmi lima tuʾdhūnanī waqad taʿlamūna annī rasūlu Allāhi ilaykum falammā zāghū azāgha Allāhu qulūbahum wallāhu lā yahdī al-qawma al-fāsiqīn

And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Why persecute ye me, when ye well know that I am Allah's messenger unto you? So when they went astray Allah sent their hearts astray. And Allah guideth not the evil-living folk.

61:6

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرًۢا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِى ٱسْمُهُۥٓ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٦﴾

Waʾidh qāla ʿīsā ubnu maryama yā banī isrāʾīla innī rasūlu Allāhi ilaykum muṣaddiqan limā bayna yadayya mina at-tawrāti wamubashshiran birasūlin yaʾtī min baʿdī usmuhu aḥmadu falammā jāʾahum bil-bayyināti qālū hādhā siḥrun mubīn

And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic.

61:7

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٧﴾

Waman aẓlamu mimmani iftarā ʿalā Allāhi al-kadhiba wahuwa yudʿā ilā al-islāmi wallāhu lā yahdī al-qawma aẓ-ẓālimīn

And who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah when he is summoned unto Al-Islam? And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

61:8

يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِـُٔوا۟ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَٱللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ﴿٨﴾

Yurīdūna liyuṭfiʾū nūra Allāhi biʾafwāhihim wallāhu mutimmu nūrihi walaw kariha al-kāfirūn

Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse.

61:9

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٩﴾

Huwa alladhī arsala rasūlahu bil-hudā wadīni al-ḥaqqi liyuẓhirahu ʿalā ad-dīni kullihi walaw kariha al-mushrikūn

He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse.

61:10

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَـٰرَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿١٠﴾

Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū hal adullukum ʿalā tijāratin tunjīkum min ʿadhābin alīm

O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save you from a painful doom?

61:11

تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتُجَـٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١١﴾

Tuʾminūna billāhi warasūlihi watujāhidūna fī sabīli Allāhi biʾamwālikum waʾanfusikum dhālikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taʿlamūn

Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know.

61:12

يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ وَمَسَـٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِى جَنَّـٰتِ عَدْنٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿١٢﴾

Yaghfir lakum dhunūbakum wayudkhilkum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihā al-anhāru wamasākina ṭayyibatan fī jannāti ʿadnin dhālika al-fawzu al-ʿaẓīm

He will forgive you your sins and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph.

61:13

وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٣﴾

Waʾukhrā tuḥibbūnahā naṣrun mina Allāhi wafatḥun qarībun wabashshiri al-muʾminīn

And (He will give you) another (blessing) which ye love: help from Allah and present victory. Give good tidings (O Muhammad) to believers.

61:14

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوٓا۟ أَنصَارَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّـۧنَ مَنْ أَنصَارِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ ٱلْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَـَٔامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٌ ۖ فَأَيَّدْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ ظَـٰهِرِينَ ﴿١٤﴾

Yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū kūnū anṣāra Allāhi kamā qāla ʿīsā ubnu maryama lilḥawāriyyīna man anṣārī ilā Allāhi qāla al-ḥawāriyyūna naḥnu anṣāru Allāhi faʾāmanat ṭāʾifatun min banī isrāʾīla wakafarat ṭāʾifatun faʾayyadnā alladhīna āmanū ʿalā ʿaduwwihim faʾaṣbaḥū ẓāhirīn

O ye who believe! Be Allah's helpers, even as Jesus son of Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah? They said: We are Allah's helpers. And a party of the Children of Israel believed, while a party disbelieved. Then We strengthened those who believed against their foe, and they became the uppermost.
