يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ
O believers! Do not take My enemies and yours as trusted allies,
تُلۡقُونَ إِلَيۡهِم بِٱلۡمَوَدَّةِ
showing them affection
وَقَدۡ كَفَرُواْ بِمَا جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ
even though they deny what has come to you of the truth.
يُخۡرِجُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَإِيَّاكُمۡ
They drove the Messenger and yourselves out ˹of Mecca˺,
أَن تُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ رَبِّكُمۡ
simply for your belief in Allah, your Lord.
إِن كُنتُمۡ خَرَجۡتُمۡ جِهَٰدٗا فِي سَبِيلِي وَٱبۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِيۚ
If you ˹truly˺ emigrated to struggle in My cause and seek My pleasure,
تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيۡهِم بِٱلۡمَوَدَّةِ
˹then do not take them as allies,˺ disclosing secrets ˹of the believers˺ to the pagans out of affection for them,
وَأَنَا۠ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَآ أَخۡفَيۡتُمۡ وَمَآ أَعۡلَنتُمۡۚ
when I know best whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal.
وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡهُ مِنكُمۡ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ١
And whoever of you does this has truly strayed from the Right Way.
إِن يَثۡقَفُوكُمۡ يَكُونُواْ لَكُمۡ أَعۡدَآءٗ
If they gain the upper hand over you, they would be your ˹open˺ enemies,
وَيَبۡسُطُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكُمۡ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ وَأَلۡسِنَتَهُم بِٱلسُّوٓءِ
unleashing their hands and tongues to harm you,
وَوَدُّواْ لَوۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ ٢
and wishing that you would abandon faith.
لَن تَنفَعَكُمۡ أَرۡحَامُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُكُمۡۚ
Neither your relatives nor children will benefit you
يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَكُمۡۚ
on Judgment Day—He will decide between you ˹all˺.
وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ ٣
For Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
قَدۡ كَانَتۡ لَكُمۡ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٞ فِيٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥٓ
You already have an excellent example in Abraham and those with him,
إِذۡ قَالُواْ لِقَوۡمِهِمۡ
when they said to their people,
إِنَّا بُرَءَٰٓؤُاْ مِنكُمۡ وَمِمَّا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ
“We totally dissociate ourselves from you and ˹shun˺ whatever ˹idols˺ you worship besides Allah.
كَفَرۡنَا بِكُمۡ
We reject you.
وَبَدَا بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةُ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءُ أَبَدًا حَتَّىٰ تُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَحۡدَهُۥٓ
The enmity and hatred that has arisen between us and you will last until you believe in Allah alone.”
إِلَّا قَوۡلَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ لَأَسۡتَغۡفِرَنَّ لَكَ
The only exception is when Abraham said to his father, “I will seek forgiveness for you,˹”
وَمَآ أَمۡلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَيۡءٖۖ
adding, “but˺ I cannot protect you from Allah at all.”
رَّبَّنَا عَلَيۡكَ تَوَكَّلۡنَا
˹The believers prayed,˺ “Our Lord! In You we trust.
وَإِلَيۡكَ أَنَبۡنَا
And to You we ˹always˺ turn.
وَإِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٤
And to You is the final return.
رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
Our Lord! Do not subject us to the persecution of the disbelievers.
وَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا رَبَّنَآۖ
Forgive us, our Lord!
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٥
You ˹alone˺ are truly the Almighty, All-Wise.”
لَقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِيهِمۡ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٞ
You certainly have an excellent example in them
لِّمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَۚ
for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day.
وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ
But whoever turns away,
فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ ٦
then surely Allah ˹alone˺ is the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَجۡعَلَ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَادَيۡتُم مِّنۡهُم مَّوَدَّةٗ
˹In time,˺ Allah may bring about goodwill between you and those of them you ˹now˺ hold as enemies.
وَٱللَّهُ قَدِيرٞ
For Allah is Most Capable.
وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٧
And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
لَّا يَنۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱللَّهُ
Allah does not forbid you
عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ فِي ٱلدِّينِ وَلَمۡ يُخۡرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَٰرِكُمۡ
from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes.
أَن تَبَرُّوهُمۡ وَتُقۡسِطُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡۚ
from dealing kindly and fairly
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُقۡسِطِينَ ٨
Surely Allah loves those who are fair.
إِنَّمَا يَنۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱللَّهُ
Allah only forbids you
عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَٰتَلُوكُمۡ فِي ٱلدِّينِ
from befriending those who have fought you for ˹your˺ faith,
وَأَخۡرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَٰرِكُمۡ
driven you out of your homes,
وَظَٰهَرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ إِخۡرَاجِكُمۡ
or supported ˹others˺ in doing so.
أَن تَوَلَّوۡهُمۡۚ
Allah only forbids you from befriending
وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمۡ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٩
And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ
O believers!
إِذَا جَآءَكُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتُ مُهَٰجِرَٰتٖ فَٱمۡتَحِنُوهُنَّۖ
When the believing women come to you as emigrants, test their intentions
ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِهِنَّۖ
—their faith is best known to Allah—
فَإِنۡ عَلِمۡتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤۡمِنَٰتٖ فَلَا تَرۡجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى ٱلۡكُفَّارِۖ
and if you find them to be believers, then do not send them back to the disbelievers.
لَا هُنَّ حِلّٞ لَّهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّۖ
These ˹women˺ are not lawful ˹wives˺ for the disbelievers, nor are the disbelievers lawful ˹husbands˺ for them.
وَءَاتُوهُم مَّآ أَنفَقُواْۚ
˹But˺ repay the disbelievers whatever ˹dowries˺ they had paid.
وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ إِذَآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّۚ
And there is no blame on you if you marry these ˹women˺ as long as you pay them their dowries.
وَلَا تُمۡسِكُواْ بِعِصَمِ ٱلۡكَوَافِرِ
And do not hold on to marriage with polytheistic women.
وَسۡـَٔلُواْ مَآ أَنفَقۡتُمۡ وَلۡيَسۡـَٔلُواْ مَآ أَنفَقُواْۚ
˹But˺ demand ˹repayment of˺ whatever ˹dowries˺ you had paid, and let the disbelievers do the same.
ذَٰلِكُمۡ حُكۡمُ ٱللَّهِ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡۖ
That is the judgment of Allah—He judges between you.
وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ١٠
And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
وَإِن فَاتَكُمۡ شَيۡءٞ مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡكُفَّارِ
And if any of your wives desert you to the disbelievers,
فَعَاقَبۡتُمۡ
and later you take spoils from them,
فَـَٔاتُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبَتۡ أَزۡوَٰجُهُم مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنفَقُواْۚ
then pay those whose wives have gone, the equivalent of whatever ˹dowry˺ they had paid.
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنتُم بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنُونَ ١١
And be mindful of Allah, in Whom you believe.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتُ يُبَايِعۡنَكَ
O Prophet! When the believing women come to you, pledging to you
عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّا يُشۡرِكۡنَ بِٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗا
that they will neither associate anything with Allah ˹in worship˺,
وَلَا يَسۡرِقۡنَ
nor steal,
وَلَا يَزۡنِينَ
nor fornicate,
وَلَا يَقۡتُلۡنَ أَوۡلَٰدَهُنَّ
nor kill their children,
وَلَا يَأۡتِينَ بِبُهۡتَٰنٖ يَفۡتَرِينَهُۥ بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِنَّ وَأَرۡجُلِهِنَّ
nor falsely attribute ˹illegitimate˺ children to their husbands,
وَلَا يَعۡصِينَكَ فِي مَعۡرُوفٖ
nor disobey you in what is right,
فَبَايِعۡهُنَّ
then accept their pledge,
وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُنَّ ٱللَّهَۚ
and ask Allah to forgive them.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١٢
Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَوَلَّوۡاْ قَوۡمًا غَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ
O believers! Do not ally yourselves with a people Allah is displeased with.
قَدۡ يَئِسُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ
They already have no hope for the Hereafter,
كَمَا يَئِسَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡقُبُورِ ١٣
just like the disbelievers lying in ˹their˺ graves.
