 سورة 8 of the Holy Quran translated by Muhammad Habib Shaker this Libro-Vox recording is in the public domain سورة 8 Spoils of War الأنفال revealed at Madina In the name of Allah the most beneficent, the most merciful they ask you about the windfalls say the windfalls are for Allah and the messenger so be careful of your duty to Allah and set right matters of your difference and obey Allah and his messenger if you are believers those only are believers whose hearts become full of fear when Allah is mentioned and when his communications are recited to them they increase them in faith and in their Lord do they trust those who keep a prayer and spend benevolently out of what we have given them these are the believers in truth they shall have from their Lord exalted grades and forgiveness and an honorable sustenance even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your house with the truth though a party of the believers were surely averse they disputed with you about the truth after it had become clear and they went forth as if they were being driven to death until they saw it and when Allah promised you one of the two parties that it shall be yours and you loved that the one not armed should be yours and Allah desired to manifest the truth of what was true by his words and to cut off the root of the unbelievers that he may manifest the truth of what was true and show the falsehood of what was false though the guilty disliked when you sought aid from your Lord so he answered you I will assist you with a thousand of the angels following one another and Allah only gave it as a good news and that your hearts might be at ease thereby and victory is only from Allah surely Allah is mighty when he caused calm to fall on you as a security from him and sent down upon you water from the cloud that he might thereby purify you and take away from you the uncleanness of the shaitan and that he might fortify your hearts and study your footsteps thereby when your Lord revealed to the angels I am with you therefore make firm those who believe I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them this is because they acted adversely to Allah and his messenger and whoever acts adversely to Allah and his messenger then surely Allah is severe in requiting evil this taste it and know that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire all you who believe when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war then turn not your backs to them and whoever shall turn his back to them on that day unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company then he indeed becomes deserving of Allah's wrath and his abode is hell and an evil destination shall it be so you did not slay them but it was Allah who slew them and you did not smite when you smote the enemy but it was Allah who smote and that he might confer upon the believers a good gift from himself surely Allah is hearing knowing this and that Allah is the weakener of the struggle of the unbelievers if you demanded a judgment the judgment has then indeed come to you and if you desist it will be better for you and if you turn back to fight we too shall turn back and your forces shall avail you nothing though they may be many and know that Allah is with the believers all you who believe obey Allah and his messenger and do not turn back from him while you hear and be not like those who said we hear and they did not obey surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are the deaf the dumb who do not understand and if Allah had known any good in them he would have made them hear and if he makes them hear they would turn back while they withdraw all you who believe answer the call of Allah and his messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life and know that Allah intervenes between man and his heart and that to him you shall be gathered and fear an affliction which may not smite those of you in particular who are unjust and know that Allah is severe in requiting evil and remember when you were few deemed weak in the land fearing less people might carry you off by force but he sheltered you and strengthened you with his aid and gave you of the good things that you may give thanks all you who believe be not unfaithful to Allah and the messenger nor be unfaithful to your trust while you know and know that your property and your children are a temptation and that Allah is he with whom there is a mighty reward all you who believe if you are careful of your duty to Allah he will grant you a distinction and do away with your evils and forgive you and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace and when those who disbelieved devise the plans against you that they might confine you or slay you or drive you away and they devised the plans and Allah too had arranged a plan and Allah is the best of planners and when our communications are recited to them they say we have heard indeed if we pleased we could say the like of it this is nothing but the stories of the ancients they said oh Allah if this is the truth from thee then rain upon us stones from heaven or inflict on us a painful punishment but Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness and what excuse have they that Allah should not chastise them while they hinder men from the sacred mosque and they are not fit to be guardians of it its guardians are only those who guard against evil but most of them do not know and their prayer before the house is nothing but whistling and clapping of hands is then the chastisement for you disbelieved surely those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder people from the way of Allah so they shall spend it then it shall be to them an intense regret then they shall be overcome and those who disbelieve shall be driven together to hell that Allah might separate the impure from the good and put the impure some of it upon the other and pile it up together then cast it into hell these it is that are the losers say to those who disbelieve if they desist that which is passed shall be forgiven to them and if they return then what happened to the ancients has already passed and fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah but if they desist then surely Allah sees what they do and if they turn back then know that Allah is your patron most excellent is the patron and most excellent the helper and know that whatever thing you gain a fifth of it is for Allah and for the messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer if you believe in Allah and in that which we revealed to our servant on the day of distinction the day on which the two part is met and Allah has power over all things when you were on the nearer side of the valley and they were on the farthest side while the caravan was in a lower place than you and if you had mutually made an appointment you would certainly have broken away from the appointment but in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done that he who would perish might perish by clear proof and he who would live might live by clear proof and most surely Allah is hearing knowing when Allah showed them to you in your dream as few and if he had shown them to you as many you would certainly have become weakhearted and you would have disputed about the matter but Allah saved you surely he is the knower of what is in the breasts and when he showed them to you when you met as few in your eyes and he made you to appear little in their eyes in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done and to Allah are all affairs returned O you who believe when you meet a party then be firm and remember Allah much that you may be successful and obey Allah and his messenger and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart and be patient surely Allah is with the patient and be not like those who came forth from their homes in great exaltation and to be seen of men and who turn away from the way of Allah and Allah comprehends what they do and when the shaitan made their works fair seeming to them and said no one can overcome you this day and surely I am your protector but when the two parties came inside of each other he turned upon his heels and said surely I am clear of you surely I see what you do not see surely I fear Allah and Allah is severe in requiting evil when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease said their religion has deceived them and whoever trusts in Allah then surely Allah is mighty wise and had you seen when the angels will cause to die those who disbelieve smiting their faces and their backs and saying taste the punishment of burning this is for what your own hands have sent on before and because Allah is not in the least and just to the servants in the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them they disbelieved in Allah's communications therefore Allah destroyed them and the account of their faults surely Allah is strong severe in requiting evil this is because Allah has never changed a favor which he had conferred upon a people until they changed their own condition and because Allah is hearing knowing in the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them they rejected the communications of their Lord therefore we destroyed them on account of their faults and we drowned Pharaoh's people and they were all unjust surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve then they would not believe those with whom you make an agreement then they break their agreement every time and they do not guard against punishment therefore if you overtake them in fighting then scatter by making an example of them those who are in the rear that they may be mindful and if you feel treachery on the part of a people then throw back to them on terms of equality surely Allah does not love the treacherous and let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first surely they will not escape and prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know but Allah knows them and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly and if they incline to peace then incline to it and trust in Allah surely He is the hearing, the knowing and if they intend to deceive you then surely Allah is sufficient for you He it is who strengthened you with His help and with the believers and united their hearts had you spent all that is in the earth you could not have united their hearts but Allah united them surely He is mighty wise O Prophet Allah is sufficient for you and for such of the believers as follow you O Prophet urge the believers to war if there are 20 patient ones of you they shall overcome 200 and if there are 100 of you they shall overcome 1000 of those who disbelieve because they are people who do not understand for the present Allah has made light your burden and He knows that there is weakness in you so if there are 100 patient ones of you they shall overcome 200 and if there are 1000 they shall overcome 2000 by Allah's permission and Allah is with the patient it is not fit for a Prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land you desire the frail goods of this word while Allah desires for you the hereafter and Allah is mighty wise where it not for an ordinance from Allah that had already gone forth surely there would have be fallen you a great chastisement for what you had taken too eat then of the lawful and good things which you have acquired in war and be careful of your duty to Allah surely Allah is forgiving, merciful O Prophet say to those of the captives who are in your hands if Allah knows anything good in your hearts He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you and Allah is forgiving, merciful and if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you so indeed they acted unfaithfully towards Allah before but He gave you mastery over them and Allah is knowing wise surely those who believed and fled their homes and struggled hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls and those who gave shelter and helped these are guardians of each other and as for those who believed and did not fly not yours is their guardianship until they fly and if they seek aid from you in the matter of religion it is incumbent on you except against a people between whom and you there is a treaty and Allah sees what you do and as for those who disbelieve some of them are the guardians of others if you will not do it there will be in the land persecution and great mischief and as for those who believed and fled and struggled hard in Allah's way and those who gave shelter and helped these are the believers truly they shall have forgiveness and honorable provision and as for those who believed afterwards and fled and struggled hard along with you they are of you and the possessors of relationships are nearer to each other in the ordinance of Allah surely Allah knows all things and of Surah 8 Surah 9 of the Holy Quran translated by Muhammad Habib Shaker this Libro Vox recording is in the public domain Surah 9 repentance revealed at Medina this is a declaration of immunity by Allah and his messenger towards those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement so go about in the land for 4 months and know that you cannot weaken Allah and that Allah will bring this grace to the unbelievers and an announcement from Allah and his messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and his messenger are free from liability to the idolaters therefore if you repent it will be better for you and if you turn back then know that you will not weaken Allah and announce painful punishment to those who disbelieve except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up anyone against you so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term surely Allah loves those who are careful of their duty so when the sacred month have passed away then slay the idolaters wherever you find them and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor rate leave their way free to them surely Allah is forgiving merciful and if one of the idolaters seek protection from you grant him protection till he hears the word of Allah then make him attain his place of safety this is because they are a people who do not know how can there be an agreement for the idolaters with Allah and with his messenger except those with whom you made an agreement at the sacred mosque so as long as they are true to you be true to them surely Allah loves those who are careful of their duty how can it be while if they prevail against you they would not pay regard in your case to ties of relationship nor those of covenant they please you with their mouth while their hearts do not consent and most of them are transgressors they have taken a small price for the communications of Allah so they turn away from his way surely evil is it that they do they do not pay regard to ties of relationship nor those of covenant in the case of a believer and these are they who go beyond the limits but if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor rate they are your brethren in faith and we make the communications clear for a people who know and if they break their oath after their agreement and openly revile your religion then fight the leaders of unbelief surely their oath are nothing so that they may desist what will you not fight a people who broke their oath and aimed at the expulsion of the messenger and they attacked you first do you fear them but Allah is most deserving that you should fear him if you are believers fight them Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people and remove the rage of their hearts and Allah turns mercifully to whom he pleases and Allah is knowing wise what do you think that you will be left alone until Allah has not yet known those of you who have struggled hard and have not taken anyone as an adherent besides Allah and his messenger and the believers and Allah is aware of what you do the idolaters have no right to visit the mosques of Allah while bearing witness to unbelief against themselves these it is whose doings are null and in the fire shall they abide only he shall visit the mosques of Allah who believes in Allah and the latter they and keeps up prayer and pays the poor rate and fears none but Allah so as for these it may be that they are of the followers of the right course what do you make one who undertakes the giving of the ring to the pilgrims and the guarding of the sacred mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter they and strives hard in Allah's way they are not equal with Allah and Allah does not guide the unjust people those who believe and fled their homes and the strove hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls are much higher in rank with Allah and those are they who are the achievers of their objects their Lord gives them good news of mercy from himself and his good pleasure and gardens where in lasting blessings shall be theirs abiding their in forever surely Allah has a mighty reward with him O you who believe do not take your fathers and your brothers for guardians if they love unbelief more than belief and whoever of you takes them for a guardian these it is that are the unjust say if your fathers and your sons and your brethren and your mates and your kin's folk and property which you have acquired and the slackness of trade which you fear and dwellings which you like are dearer to you than Allah and his messenger and the striving in his way than wait till Allah brings about his command and Allah does not guide the transgressing people certainly Allah helped you in many battlefields and on the day of Hunain when your great numbers made you vain but they availed you nothing and the earth became straight to you not with the standing its spaciousness then you turned back retreating then Allah sent down his tranquility upon his messenger and upon the believers and sent down hosts which you did not see and justize those who disbelieved and that is the reward of the unbelievers then will Allah after this turn mercifully to whom he pleases and Allah is forgiving merciful all you who believe the idolaters are nothing but unclean so they shall not approach the sacred mosque after this year and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of his grace if he please surely Allah is knowing wise fight those who do not believe in Allah nor in the latter day nor do they prohibit what Allah and his messenger have prohibited nor follow the religion of truth out of those who have been given the book until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection and the Jews say Ozair is the son of Allah and the Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah these are the words of their mouth they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before may Allah destroy them how they are turned away they have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah and also the Messiah son of Maryam and they were enjoined that they should serve one Allah only there is no God but He far from His glory be what they set up with Him they desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouth and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light though the unbelievers are averse He it is who sent his messenger with guidance and the religion of truth that He might cause it to prevail over all religions though the polytheists may be averse all you who believe most surely many of the doctors of law and the monks eat away the property of men falsely and turn them from Allah's way and as for those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah's way announced to them a painful chastisement on the day when it shall be heated in the fire of hell then their foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be branded with it this is what you hoarded up for yourselves therefore taste what you hoarded surely the number of month with Allah is 12 month in Allah's ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth of these four being sacred that is the right reckoning therefore be not unjust to yourselves regarding them and fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together and know that Allah is with those who guard against evil postponing of the sacred months is only an addition in unbelief where with those who disbelieve are led astray violating it one year and keeping it sacred another that they may agree in the number of month that Allah has made sacred and thus violate what Allah has made sacred the evil of their doings is made first seeming to them and Allah does not guide the unbelieving people all you who believe what execues have you that when it is said to you go forth in Allah's way you should climb heavily to earth are you contented with this world's life instead of the hereafter but the provision of this world's life compared with the hereafter is but little if you do not go forth He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you and you will do Him no harm and Allah has power over all things if you will not aid Him Allah certainly aided Him when those who disbelieved expelled Him He being the second of the two when they were both in the cave when He said to His companion grieve not surely Allah is with us so Allah sent down His good will upon Him and strengthened Him with hosts which you did not see and made lowest the word of those who disbelieved and the word of Allah that is the highest and Allah is mighty wise go forth light and heavy and strive hard in Allah's way with your property and your persons better for you if you know had it been a near advantage and a short journey they would certainly have followed you but the tedious journey was too long for them and they swear by Allah if we had been able we would certainly have gone forth with you they cause their own souls to perish but Allah knows that they are most surely liars Allah pardon you why did you give them leave until those who spoke the truth had become manifest to you and you had known the liars they do not ask leave of you who believe in Allah and the latter day to stay away from striving hard with their property and their persons and Allah knows those who guard against evil they only ask leave of you who do not believe in Allah and the latter day and their hearts are in doubt so in their doubt do they waver and if they had intended to go forth they would certainly have provided equipment for it but Allah did not like their going forth so He withheld them and it was said to them hold back with those who hold back had they gone forth with you they would not have added to you ought save corruption and they would certainly have heard about among you seeking to sow dissension among you and among you there are those who harken for their sake and Allah knows the unjust certainly they sow to sow dissension before and they meditated plots against you until the truth came and Allah's commandment prevailed although they were averse from it and among them there is He who says allow me and do not try me surely into trial have they already tumbled down and most surely hell encompasses the unbelievers if good befalls you it grieves them and if hardship afflicts you they say indeed we had taken care of our affair before and they turn back and are glad say nothing will afflict us save what Allah has ordained for us He is our pattern and on Allah let the believers rely say do you await for us but one of two most excellent things and we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or by our hands so wait we too will wait with you say spend willingly or unwillingly it shall not be accepted from you surely you are a transgressing people and nothing hinders their spendings being accepted from them except that they disbelieve and in His messenger and they do not come to prayer but while they are sluggish and they do not spend but while they are unwilling let not then their property and their children excite your admiration Allah only wishes to shastise them with these in this world's life and that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers and they swear by Allah that they are most surely of you and they are not of you but they are a people who are afraid of you if they could find a refuge or cave or a place to enter into they would certainly have turned there too running away in all haste and of them there are those who blame you with respect to the arms so if they are given from it they are pleased and if they are not given from it though they are full of rage and if they were content with what Allah and His messenger gave them and had said Allah is sufficient for us Allah will soon give us more out of His grace and His messenger too surely to Allah do we make our petition arms are only for the poor and the needy and the officials appointed over them and those whose hearts are made to incline to truth and the ransoming of captives and those in debts and in the way of Allah and the fear and ordinance from Allah and Allah is knowing wise and there are some of them who molest the prophet and say he is one who believes everything that he hears say a hearer of good for you who believes in Allah and believes the faithful and the mercy for those of you who believe and as for those who molest the messenger of Allah they shall have a painful punishment they swear to you by Allah that they might please you and Allah as well as His messenger has a greater right that they should please him if they are believers do they not know that whoever acts in opposition to Allah and His messenger he shall surely have the fire of hell to abide in it that is the grievous abasement the hypocrites fear less a chapter should be sent down to them telling them plainly of what is in their hearts say go on mocking surely Allah will bring forth what you fear should question them they would certainly say we were only idly discoursing and sporting say was it at Allah and His communications and His messenger that you mocked do not make executions you have denied indeed after you had believed if we pardon a party of you we will take another party because they are guilty the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women are all alike they enjoy evil and forbid good and withhold their hands they have forsaken Allah so he has forsaken them surely the hypocrites are the transgressors Allah has promised the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the unbelievers the fire of hell to abide their in it is enough for them and Allah has cursed them and they shall have lasting punishment like those before you they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children so they enjoyed their portion thus have you enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion and you entered into vain discourses like the vain discourses in which entered those before you these are they whose works are null in this word and hereafter and these are they who are the losers has not the news of those before them come to them of the people of Noah and A'ad and Samud and the people of Ibrahim and the dwellers of Mad'yan and the overthrown cities their messengers came to them with clear arguments so it was not Allah who should do them injustice but they were unjust to themselves and as for the believing men and the believing women they are guardians of each other they enjoy in good and forbid evil and keep a prayer and pay the poor rate and obey Allah and his messenger as for these Allah will show mercy to them surely Allah is mighty wise Allah has promised to the believing men and the believing women guardians beneath which rivers flow to abide in them and goodly dwellings in guardians of perpetual abode and best of all is Allah's goodly pleasure that is the grand achievement O Prophet strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them where abode is hell and evil is the destination they swear by Allah that they did not speak and certainly they did speak the word of unbelief and disbelief after their Islam and they had determined upon what they have not been able to effect and they did not find forth except because Allah and his messenger enriched them out of his Greece therefore if they repent it will be good for them and if they turn back Allah will shastise them with a painful shastisement in this word and hereafter and they shall not have in the land any guardian or a helper and there are those of them who repent with Allah if he give us out of his Greece we will certainly give alms and we will certainly be of the good but when he gave them out of his Greece they became niggardly of it and they turned back and they withdrew so he made hypocrisy to follow as a consequence into their hearts till the day when they shall meet him because they failed to perform towards Allah what they had promised with him and because they told lies do they not know that Allah knows their hidden thoughts and their secret counsels and that Allah is the great knower of the unseen things they who taunt to those of the faithful who give their alms freely and those who give to the extent of their earnings and scoff at them Allah will pay them back their scoffing and they shall have a painful shastisement ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them even if you ask forgiveness for them 70 times Allah will not forgive them this is because they disbelieve in Allah and his messenger and Allah does not guide the transgressing people those who were left behind were glad on account of their sitting behind Allah's messenger and they were averse from striving in Allah's way with their property and said do not go forth in the heat say the fire of hell is much severe in heat with that they understood it therefore they shall laugh little and weep much as a recompense for what they earned therefore if Allah brings you back to a party of them and then they ask your permission to go forth say by no means shall you ever go forth with me and by no means shall you fight an enemy with me surely you chose to sit the first time therefore sit now with those who remain behind and never offer prayer for any one of them who dies and do not stand by his grave surely they disbelieve in Allah and his messenger and they shall die in transgression and let note their property and their children excite your admiration Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this word and that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers and whenever a chapter is revealed saying believe in Allah and strive hard along with his messenger those having ampilness of means ask permission of you and say leave us behind that we may be with those who sit they prefer to be with those who remain behind and the seal is set on their hearts so they do not understand but the messenger and those who believe with him strive hard with their property and their persons and these it is who shall have the good things and these it is who shall be successful Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide in them that is the great achievement and the defaulters from among the dwellers of the desert came that permission may be given to them and they said at home who lied to Allah and his messenger a painful chastisement shall afflict the those of them who disbelieved it shall be no crime in the weak nor in the sick nor in those who do not find what they should spend to stay behind so long as they are sincere to Allah and his messenger there is no way to blame against the doers of good and Allah is forgiving merciful nor in those who when they came to you that you might carry them you said I cannot find that on which to carry you they went back while their eyes overflowed with tears on account of grief for not finding that which they should spend the way to blame is only against those who ask permission of you though they are rich they have chosen to be with those who remained behind and Allah has set a seal upon their hearts so they do not know they will execute themselves to you when you go back say ارج no execuse by no means will we believe you indeed Allah has informed us of matters relating to you and now Allah and his messenger will see your doings then you shall be brought back to the knower of the unseen and the seen then he will inform you of what you did they will swear to you by Allah when you return to them so that you may turn aside from them so do turn aside from them surely they are unclean and their abode is hell a recompense for what they earned they will swear to you that you may be pleased with them but if you are pleased yet surely Allah is not pleased with the transgressing people the dwellers of the desert are very hard in unbelief and hypocrisy and more disposed not to know the limits of what Allah has revealed to his messenger and Allah is knowing wise and of the dwellers of the desert are those what they spend to be affine and they wait the be fooling of callamities to you on them will be evil calamity and Allah is hearing knowing and of the dwellers of the desert are those who believe in Allah and the latter day and take what they spend to be means of the nearness of Allah يجب أن يكون هناك محاولة لهم. الله سيجعلهم أن يدفعهم في مرسيه ، ويجب أن الله يساعد المرسي. وكما يجب أن يجب أن يكون هناك محاولة من المهاجرين والأنسار والذين يجب أن يتبعونهم في محاولة. يجب أن تكون هناك محاولة من المرسيه ، يجب أن يقومون بممرسيه ويجب أن يفتحونهم. ويجب on them أن يكون هناك محاولة لهم ، ويجب أن الله يدفعهم. قد لا يعرف أن الله يتبع مرسيه من مرسيه ، ويجب أن يدفع المرسيه ، لقد لم نريد أطفال موضوع ولكن أطفال. والله يجب أن يكونوا أخواناً لأجل. لا يجب أن نحاول فيه. أجل أن أمازكت أجل في حياتي من الوقت الأولى يجب أن تحتاج إلى أن تحاول فيه. فيه يوجد من يحب أن يكونوا أحياناً و الله يحب الذين يقومون بسياراتهم ، هل هو فكرة أفضل يضع his foundation on fear of Allah and his good pleasure أو هو الذي يضع his foundation on the edge of a cracking hollowed bank حتى يضعه فكرة أفضله إلى Bath of Hell and Allah does not guide the unjust people the building which they have built will ever continue to be a source of disquiet in their hearts except that their hearts get cut into pieces and Allah is knowing wise ربما أن الله يدفع جميع الشخصين منهم ويجب أن يدفع هذه المنطقة لأنهم يجب أن يكونون في المنطقة ، يجب أن يدفعون في طريق الله ، لذلك يدفعون ويجب أن يتبعون مدرس الذي يجب أن يدفعه في التوراة والإنجيل والقرآن ومن يجب أن يكون أكثر أفضل من الله ، رجائس أكثر في المدينة التي تأخذتك ، وأنها مدينة أكثر يومين إلى الله ، who serve Him, who praise Him, who fast, who bow down, who prostrate themselves, who enjoy what is good and forbidden, what is evil, and who keep the limits of Allah and give good news to the believers. It is not fit for the Prophet and those who believe that they should ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even though they should be near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are inmates of the flaming fire. And Abraham asking forgiveness for his sire was only owing to a promise which he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he declared himself to be clear of him. Most surely Abraham was very tender, hearted for bearing. It is not attributable to Allah that he should lead a people astray after he has guided them. He even makes clear to them what they should guard against. Surely Allah knows all things. Surely Allah is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He brings to life and causes to die. And there is not for you besides Allah, any guardian or helper. Certainly Allah has turned mercifully to the Prophet and those who fled their homes and the helpers who followed him in the hour of straightness. After the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate. Then he turned to them mercifully. Surely to them he is compassionate merciful. And to the three who were left behind until the earth became straight to them notwithstanding its spaciousness and their souls were also straightened to them. And they knew it for certain that there was no refuge from Allah but in him. Then he turned to them mercifully that they might turn to him. Surely Allah is the oft returning to mercy, the merciful. O you who believe, be careful of your duty to Allah and be with the true ones. It did not be seen the people of Medina and those round about them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind the messenger of Allah nor should they desire anything for themselves in preference to him. This is because there afflicts them not thirst or fatigue or hunger in Allah's way nor do they tread a path which enrages the unbelievers nor do they attain from the enemy what they attain. But a good work is written down to them on account of it. Surely Allah does not waste the reward of the doers of good nor do they spend anything that may be spent small or great. Nor do they traverse a valley but it is written down to their credit that Allah may reward them with the best of what they have done. And it does not be seen the believers that they should go forth altogether. Why should not then a company from every party من among them go forth that they may apply themselves to obtain understanding in religion and that they may warn their people when they come back to them that they may be cautious. O you who believe, fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you حدness and know that Allah is with those who guard against evil. And whenever a chapter is revealed there are some of them who say which of you has it strengthened in faith. Then as for those who believe it strengthens them in faith and they rejoice. And as for those in whose hearts is a disease it adds uncleanness to their uncleanness and they die while they are unbelievers. Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in every year yet they do not turn to Allah nor do they mind. And whenever a chapter is revealed they cast glances at one another. Does anyone see you? Then they turn away. Allah has turned away their hearts because they are a people who do not understand. Certainly a messenger has come to you from among yourselves. Grievous to him is your falling into distress. Excessively solicitous احتاج to you. To the believers he is compassionate. But if they turn back say Allah is sufficient for me there is no God but He. On him do I rely and he is the Lord of mighty power. End of Surah 9. Surah 10 of the Holy Quran محمد حبيب شاكر. This LibroVox recording is in the public domain. Surah 10. Jonah. Yunus. Revealed at Makkah. In the name of Allah the most beneficent the most merciful. These are the verses of the wise book. What is it a wonder to the people that we reveal to a man from among themselves saying warn the people and give good news to those who believe that theirs is a footing of firmness with their Lord. The unbelievers say this is most surely a manifest enchanter. Surely your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in six periods and He is firm in power. Regulating the affair there is no intercessor except after His permission. This is Allah. Your Lord therefore serve Him. Will you not then mind? To Him is your return. Of all of you the promise of Allah made in truth. Surely He begins the creation in the first instance. Then He reproduces it that He may with justice recompense those who believe and do good. And as for those who disbelieve they shall have a drink of hot water and painful punishment because they disbelieved. He it is who made the sun اشانing برائطنس and the moon a light. And ordained for it mentions that you might know the computation of years and the reckoning. Allah did not create it but with truth. He makes the signs manifest for a people who know. Most surely in the variation of the night and the day and what Allah has created in the heavens and the earth there are signs for a people who guard against evil. Surely those who do not hope in our meeting and are pleased with this world's life and are content with it and those who are heedless of our احيانات. As for those their abode is the fire because of what they earned. Surely as for those who believe and do good their Lord will guide them by their faith. There shall flow from beneath them rivers and gardens of bliss. Their cry in it shall be glory to thee. Oh Allah and their greeting in it shall be peace. And the loss of their cry shall be praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds. And if Allah should hasten the evil to men as they desire the hastening of good. Their doom should certainly have been decreed for them. But we leave those alone who hope not for our meeting in their inordinacy. Blindly wandering on. And when affliction touches a man he calls on us whether lying on his side or sitting or standing. But when we remove his affliction from him he passes on as though he had never called on us on account of an affliction that touched him. Thus that which they do is made for seeming to the extravagant. And certainly we did destroy generations before you when they were unjust and their messengers had come to them with clear arguments and they would not believe. Thus do we recompense the guilty people. Then we made you successors in the land after them so that we may see how you act. And when our clear communications are recited to them those who hope not for our meeting say bring a Quran other than this or change it. Say it does not be seen me that I should change it of myself. I follow note but what is revealed to me. Surely I fear if I disobey my Lord the punishment of a mighty day. Say if Allah had desired otherwise I would not have recited it to you nor would he have taught it to you. Indeed I have lived a lifetime among you before it. Do you not then understand who is then more unjust than who forges a lie against Allah or who gives the lie to his communications. Surely the guilty shall not be successful and they serve beside Allah what can neither harm them nor profit them. And they say these are our intercessors with Allah. Say do you presume to inform Allah of what He knows. Not in the heavens and the earth. Glory be to Him and supremely exalted is He above what they set up with Him. And people are not but a single nation. So they disagree and had not a word or ready gun forth from your Lord. The matter would have certainly been decided between them in respect of that concerning which they disagree. And they say why is not a sign sent to him from his Lord. Say the unseen is only for Allah. Therefore wait. Surely I too with you am of those who wait. And when we make people taste of mercy after an affliction touches them though they devise plans against our communication. Say Allah is quicker to plan. Surely our messengers write down what you plan. He it is who makes you travel by land and sea until when you are in the ships. And they sail on with them in a pleasant breathe. And they rejoice a violent wind overtakes them and the billows surge in on them from all sides. And they become certain that they are encompassed about. They pray to Allah being sincere to Him in obedience. If thou dost deliver us from this we will most certainly be of the grateful ones. But when He delivers them though they are unjustly rebellious in the earth. O men your rebellion is against your own souls. Provision only of this world's life. Then to us shall be your return. So we will inform you of what you did. The likeness of this world's life is only as water which we send down from the cloud. Then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriously thereby until when the earth puts on its golden remnant and it becomes garnished and its people think that they have power over it. Our command comes to it by night or by day. So we render it as reefed seed produce as though it had not been in existence yesterday. Thus do we make clear the communications for a people who reflect. And Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whom He pleases into the right path. For those who do good is good reward. And more than this and blackness or ignominy shall not cover their faces. These are the dwellers of the garden. In it they shall abide. And as for those who have earned evil the punishment of an evil is the like of it. And abasement shall come upon them. They shall have none to protect them from Allah. As if their faces had been covered with slices of the dense darkness of night. These are the inmates of the fire. In it they shall abide. And on the day when we will gather them all together then we will say to those who associated others with Allah keep where you are. You and your associates. Then we shall separate them widely. One from another and their associates would say it was not us that you served. Therefore Allah is sufficient as a witness between us and you that we were quite unaware of your serving us. There shall every soul become acquainted with what it sent before. And they shall be brought back to Allah. Their true pattern and what they devised shall escape from them. Say who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? Or who controls the hearing and the sight? And who brings forth the living from the dead? And brings forth the dead from the living? And who regulates the affairs? Then they will say Allah. Say then will you not then guard against evil? This then is Allah. Your true Lord. And what is there after the truth but error? How are you then turned back? Thus does the word of your Lord prove true against those who transgress that they do not believe? Say is there anyone among your associates who can bring into existence the creation in the first instance? Then reproduce it. Say Allah brings the creation into existence. Then He reproduces it. How are you then turned away? Say is there any of your associates who guides to the truth? Say Allah guides to the truth. Is He then who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed or He who Himself does not go right unless He is guided? What then is the matter with you? How do you judge? And most of them do not follow anything but conjecture. Surely conjecture will not avail oath against the truth. Surely Allah is cognizant of what they do. And this Quran is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah. But it is a verification of that which is before it and the clear explanation of the book. There is no doubt in it from the Lord of the words. Or do they say He has forged it? Say then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah if you are truthful. Nay, they reject that of which they have no comprehensive knowledge. And the final sequel of it has not yet come to them. Even thus did those before them reject the truth. See then what was the end of the unjust. And of them is He who believes in it. And of them is He who does not believe in it. And your Lord best knows the mischief makers. And if they call you a liar say my work is for me and your work for you. You are clear of what I do and I am clear of what you do. And there are those of them who hear you. But can you make the deaf to hear? Though they will not understand. And there are those of them who look at you. But can you show the way to the blind though they will not see. Surely Allah does not do any injustice to men. But men are unjust to themselves. And on the day when He will gather them as though they had not stayed but an hour of the day. They will know each other. They will perish indeed who called the meeting with Allah to be a lie. And they are not followers of the right direction. And if we show you something of what we threaten them with. Or cause you to die yet to us is their return. And Allah is the bearer of witness to what they do. And every nation had a messenger. So when their messenger came the matter was decided between them with justice. And they shall not be dealt with unjustly. And they say when will this threat come about? If you are truthful. Say I do not control for myself any harm. Or any benefit except what Allah pleases. Every nation has a term. When their term comes they shall not then remain behind for an hour. Nor can they go before their time. Say tell me if His punishment overtakes you by night or by day. What then is there of it that the guilty would hasten on? And when it comes to pass will you believe in it? What now you believe? And already you wished to have it hastened on? Then it shall be said to those who were unjust. Taste abiding chastisement. You are not required except for what you earned. And they ask you is that true? Say I by my Lord. It is most surely the truth. And you will not escape. And if every soul that has done injustice had all that is in the earth it would offer it for ransom. And they will manifest regret when they see the chastisement and the matter shall be decided between them with justice. And they shall not be dealt with unjustly. Now surely Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth. Now surely Allah's promise is true. But most of them do not know. He gives life and causes death. And to him you shall be brought back. O man, there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy for the believers. Say in the grace of Allah and in his mercy in that they should rejoice. It is better than that which they gather. Say tell me what Allah has sent down for you of sustenance. Then you make a part of it unlawful and a part lawful. Say has Allah commanded you or do you forge a lie against Allah. And what will be the thought of those who forge lies against Allah on the day of resurrection. Most surely Allah is the Lord of grace towards men. But most of them do not give thanks. And you are not engaged in any affair. Nor do you recite concerning it any portion of the Quran. Nor do you do any work but we are witnesses over you when you enter into it. And there does not lie concealed from your Lord the weight of an atom in the earth or in the heaven. Nor anything less than that nor greater. But it is in a clear book. Now surely the friends of Allah They shall have no fear nor shall they grieve. Those who believe and guarded against evil. They shall have good news in this world's life. And in the hereafter. There is no changing the words of Allah. That is the mighty achievement. And let not their speech grieve you. Surely might is holy Allah's. He is the hearing the knowing. Now surely whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's. And they do not really follow any associates who call on others besides Allah. They do not follow anything but conjunctures. And they only lie. He it is who made for you the night that you might rest in it. And the day giving light. Most surely there are signs in it for a people who would hear. They say Allah has taken a son to himself. Glory be to him. He is the self-sufficient. His is what is in the heavens. And what is in the earth. You have no authority for this. Do you say against Allah what you do not know? Say those who forge a lie against Allah shall not be successful. It is only a provision in this world. Then to us shall be their return. Then we shall make them taste severe punishment. Because they disbelieved. And recite to them the story of Noah. When he said to his people oh my people if my stay and my reminding you by the communications of Allah is hard on you yet on Allah do I rely. Then resolve upon your affair and gather your associates. Then let not your affair remain dubious to you. Then have it executed against me and give me no respite. But if you turn back I did not ask for any reward from you. My reward is only with Allah. And I am commanded that I should be of those who submit. But they rejected him. So we delivered him and those with him in the ark. And we made them rulers and drowned those who rejected our communications. See then what was the end of the people warned. Then did we raise up after him messengers to their people so they came to them with clear arguments. But they would not believe in what they had rejected before. Thus it is that we set seals upon the hearts of those who exceed the limits. Then did we send up after them موسى and حرون to Pharaoh and his chiefs with our signs. But they showed pride and they were a guilty people. So when the truth came to them from us they said this is most surely clear enchantment. موسى said do you say this of the truth when it has come to you is it magic and the magicians are not successful. They said have you come to us to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon and that greatness in the land should be for you too. And we are not going to believe in you. And Pharaoh said bring to me every skillful magician and when the magicians came موسى said to them cast down what you have to cast. So when they cast down موسى said to them what you have brought is deception. Surely Allah will make it not. Surely Allah does not make the work of mischief makers to thrive. And Allah will show the truth to be the truth by his words though the guilty may be a verse to it. But none believed in موسى except the offspring of his people on account of the fear of Pharaoh and their sheeps lest he should persecute them and most surely Pharaoh was lofty in the land and most surely he was of the extravagant. And موسى said oh my people if you believe in Allah then rely on him alone if you submit to Allah so they said on Allah we rely oh our lord make us not subject to the persecution of the unjust people and do thou deliver us by thy mercy from the unbelieving people and we reveal to موسى and his brother saying take for your people houses to abide in Egypt and make your houses places of worship and keep up prayer and give good news to the believers and موسى said our lord surely thou hast given to Pharaoh and his sheeps finally and riches in this world's life to this end our lord that they lead people astray from thy way our lord destroy the riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not until they see the painful punishment he said the prayer of you both has indeed been accepted therefore continue in the right way and do not follow the path of those who do not know and we made the children of Israel to pass through the sea then Pharaoh and his host followed them for oppression and tyranny until when drowning overtook him he said I believe that there is no God but he in whom the children of Israel believe and I am of those who submit what now and indeed you disobeyed before and you were of the mischief makers but we will this day deliver you with your body that you may be assigned to those after you and most surely the majority of the people are heedless to our communications and certainly we lodged the children of Israel in a goodly abode and we provided them with good things but they did not disagree until the knowledge had come to them surely your lord will judge between them on the resurrection day concerning that in which they disagreed but if you are in doubt as to what we have revealed to you ask those who read the book before you certainly the truth has come to you from your lord therefore you should not be of the disputers and you should not be of those who rejected the communications of Allah for then you should be one of the losers surely those against whom the word of your lord has proved true will not believe though every sign should come to them until they witness the painful chastisement and where for was there not a town which should believe so that their belief should have profited them but the people of Yunus when they believed we removed from them the chastisement of this grace in this world's life and we gave them provision till a time and if your lord had pleased surely all those who are in the earth would have believed all of them will you then force men till they become believers and it is not for a soul to believe except by Allah's permission and he costs uncleanness on those who will not understand say consider what is it that is in the heavens and the earth and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe what do they wait for then but the like of the days of those who passed away before them say wait then surely I too am with you of those who wait then we deliver our messengers and those who believe even so now it is binding on us that we deliver the believers say oh people if you are in doubt as to my religion then know that I do not serve those whom you serve besides Allah but I do serve Allah who will cause you to die and I am commanded that I should be of the believers and that you should keep your course towards the religion uprightly and you should not be of the polytheists and do not call besides Allah on that which can neither benefit you nor harm you for if you do then surely you will in that case be of the unjust and if Allah should afflict you with harm then there is none to remove it but he and if he intends good to you there is none to repel his grace he brings it to whom he pleases of his servants and he is the forgiving the merciful say oh people indeed there has come to you the truth from your lord therefore whoever goes right he goes right only for the good of his own soul and whoever goes astray he goes astray only to the detriment of it and I am not a custodian over you and follow what is revealed to you and be patient till Allah should give judgment and he is the best of the judges end of surah 10
