سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ١

Sabbaḥa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ, wa huwal-ʿazīzul-ḥakīm.

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth exalts Allāh,¹ and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ٢

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū lima taqūlūna mā lā tafʿalūn.

O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?

كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ٣

Kabura maqtan ʿindallāhi an taqūlū mā lā tafʿalūn.

Greatly hateful in the sight of Allāh is that you say what you do not do.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِۦ صَفّٗا كَأَنَّهُم بُنۡيَٰنٞ مَّرۡصُوصٞ ٤

Innallāha yuḥibbul-ladhīna yuqātilūna fī sabīlihī ṣaffan kaʾannahum bunyānum marṣūṣ.

Indeed, Allāh loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.

وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تُؤۡذُونَنِي وَقَد تَّعۡلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوٓاْ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ٥

Wa idh qāla mūsā liqawmihī yāqawmi lima tuʾdhūnanī wa qad taʿlamūna annī rasūlullāhi ilaykum, falammā zāghū azāghallāhu qulūbahum, wallāhu lā yahdil-qawmal-fāsiqīn.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?" And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

وَإِذۡ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُم مُّصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرَۢا بِرَسُولٖ يَأۡتِي مِنۢ بَعۡدِي ٱسۡمُهُۥٓ أَحۡمَدُۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٦

Wa idh qāla ʿīsabnu maryama yābanī isrāʾīla innī rasūlullāhi ilaykum muṣaddiqal limā bayna yadayya minat-tawrāti wa mubashshiram birasūliy yaʾtī mim baʿdismuhū aḥmad, falammā jāʾahum bil-bayyināti qālū hādhā siḥrum mubīn.

And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allāh to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Aḥmad."¹ But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."²

وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدۡعَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمِۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٧

Wa man aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ʿalallāhil-kadhiba wa huwa yudʿā ilal-islām, wallāhu lā yahdil-qawmaẓ-ẓālimīn.

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh untruth while he is being invited to Islām. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطۡفِـُٔواْ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَٱللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ٨

Yurīdūna liyuṭfiʾū nūrallāhi biʾafwāhihim wallāhu mutimmu nūrihī wa law karihal-kāfirūn.

They want to extinguish the light of Allāh with their mouths, but Allāh will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُظۡهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكُونَ ٩

Huwal-ladhī arsala rasūlahū bil-hudā wa dīnil-ḥaqqi liyuẓhirahū ʿalad-dīni kullihī wa law karihal-mushrikūn.

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allāh dislike it.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ تِجَٰرَةٖ تُنجِيكُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ١٠

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū hal adullukum ʿalā tijāratin tunjīkum min ʿadhābin alīm.

O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment?

تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتُجَٰهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡ وَأَنفُسِكُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ١١

Tuʾminūna billāhi wa rasūlihī wa tujāhidūna fī sabīlillāhi biʾamwālikum wa anfusikum, dhālikum khayrul lakum in kuntum taʿlamūn.

[It is that] you believe in Allāh and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allāh with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you only knew.

يَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡ وَيُدۡخِلۡكُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ وَمَسَٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةٗ فِي جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ١٢

Yaghfir lakum dhunūbakum wa yudkhilkum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru wa masākina ṭayyibatan fī jannāti ʿadn, dhālikal-fawzul-ʿaẓīm.

He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment.

وَأُخۡرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَاۖ نَصۡرٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتۡحٞ قَرِيبٞۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٣

Wa ukhrā tuḥibbūnahā, naṣrum minallāhi wa fatḥun qarīb, wa bashshiril-muʾminīn.

And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allāh and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُوٓاْ أَنصَارَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ لِلۡحَوَارِيِّـۧنَ مَنۡ أَنصَارِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحۡنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِۖ فَـَٔامَنَت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنۢ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّآئِفَةٞۖ فَأَيَّدۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمۡ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ ظَٰهِرِينَ ١٤

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū kūnū anṣārallāhi kamā qāla ʿīsabnu maryama lil-ḥawāriyyīna man anṣārī ilallāh, qālal-ḥawāriyyūna naḥnu anṣārullāh, fa āmanat ṭāʾifatum mim banī isrāʾīla wa kafarat ṭāʾifah, fa ayyadnal-ladhīna āmanū ʿalā ʿaduwwihim fa aṣbaḥū ẓāhirīn.

O you who have believed, be supporters of Allāh, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allāh?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allāh." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.
