Verse 59:1
سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِي الۡاَرۡضِۚ وَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ
sabbaḥa lillahi mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi wahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise
Verse 59:2
هُوَ الَّذِيۡ٘ اَخۡرَجَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ مِنۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ لِاَوَّلِ الۡحَشۡرِؕؔ مَا ظَنَنۡتُمۡ اَنۡ يَّخۡرُجُوۡا وَظَنُّوۡ٘ا اَنَّهُمۡ مَّا نِعَتُهُمۡ حُصُوۡنُهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ فَاَتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَمۡ يَحۡتَسِبُوۡا وَقَذَفَ فِيۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمُ الرُّعۡبَ يُخۡرِبُوۡنَ بُيُوۡتَهُمۡ بِاَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَاَيۡدِي الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَࣗ فَاعۡتَبِرُوۡا يٰ٘اُولِي الۡاَبۡصَارِ
huwa alladhī akhraja alladhīna kafarū min ahli l-kitābi min diyārihim li-awwali l-ḥashri mā ẓanantum an yakhrujū waẓannū annahum māniʿatuhum ḥuṣūnuhum mina l-lahi fa-atāhumu l-lahu min ḥaythu lam yaḥtasibū waqadhafa fī qulūbihimu l-ruʿ'ba yukh'ribūna buyūtahum bi-aydīhim wa-aydī l-mu'minīna fa-iʿ'tabirū yāulī l-abṣāri
It is He who expelled the ones who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah; but [the decree of] Allah came upon them from where they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts [so] they destroyed their houses by their [own] hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O people of vision
Verse 59:3
وَلَوۡلَا٘ اَنۡ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡجَلَآءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمۡ فِي الدُّنۡيَاؕ وَلَهُمۡ فِي الۡاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابُ النَّارِ
walawlā an kataba l-lahu ʿalayhimu l-jalāa laʿadhabahum fī l-dun'yā walahum fī l-ākhirati ʿadhābu l-nāri
And if not that Allah had decreed for them evacuation, He would have punished them in [this] world, and for them in the Hereafter is the punishment of the Fire
Verse 59:4
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ شَآقُّوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗۚ وَمَنۡ يُّشَآقِّ اللّٰهَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِ
dhālika bi-annahum shāqqū l-laha warasūlahu waman yushāqqi l-laha fa-inna l-laha shadīdu l-ʿiqābi
That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah - then indeed, Allah is severe in penalty
Verse 59:5
مَا قَطَعۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ لِّيۡنَةٍ اَوۡ تَرَكۡتُمُوۡهَا قَآئِمَةً عَلٰ٘ي اُصُوۡلِهَا فَبِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيُخۡزِيَ الۡفٰسِقِيۡنَ
mā qaṭaʿtum min līnatin aw taraktumūhā qāimatan ʿalā uṣūlihā fabi-idh'ni l-lahi waliyukh'ziya l-fāsiqīna
Whatever you have cut down of [their] palm trees or left standing on their trunks - it was by permission of Allah and so He would disgrace the defiantly disobedient
Verse 59:6
وَمَا٘ اَفَآءَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰي رَسُوۡلِهٖ مِنۡهُمۡ فَمَا٘ اَوۡجَفۡتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ خَيۡلٍ وَّلَا رِكَابٍ وَّلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُسَلِّطُ رُسُلَهٗ عَلٰي مَنۡ يَّشَآءُؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ
wamā afāa l-lahu ʿalā rasūlihi min'hum famā awjaftum ʿalayhi min khaylin walā rikābin walākinna l-laha yusalliṭu rusulahu ʿalā man yashāu wal-lahu ʿalā kulli shayin qadīrun
And what Allah restored [of property] to His Messenger from them - you did not spur for it [in an expedition] any horses or camels, but Allah gives His messengers power over whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent
Verse 59:7
مَا٘ اَفَآءَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰي رَسُوۡلِهٖ مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡقُرٰي فَلِلّٰهِ وَلِلرَّسُوۡلِ وَلِذِي الۡقُرۡبٰي وَالۡيَتٰمٰي وَالۡمَسٰكِيۡنِ وَابۡنِ السَّبِيۡلِۙ كَيۡ لَا يَكُوۡنَ دُوۡلَةًۭ بَيۡنَ الۡاَغۡنِيَآءِ مِنۡكُمۡؕ وَمَا٘ اٰتٰىكُمُ الرَّسُوۡلُ فَخُذُوۡهُۚ وَمَا نَهٰىكُمۡ عَنۡهُ فَانۡتَهُوۡاۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيۡدُ الۡعِقَابِۘ

And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler - so that it will not be a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty
Verse 59:8
لِلۡفُقَرَآءِ الۡمُهٰجِرِيۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُخۡرِجُوۡا مِنۡ دِيَارِهِمۡ وَاَمۡوَالِهِمۡ يَبۡتَغُوۡنَ فَضۡلًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضۡوَانًا وَّيَنۡصُرُوۡنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الصّٰدِقُوۡنَۚ
lil'fuqarāi l-muhājirīna alladhīna ukh'rijū min diyārihim wa-amwālihim yabtaghūna faḍlan mina l-lahi wariḍ'wānan wayanṣurūna l-laha warasūlahu ulāika humu l-ṣādiqūna
For the poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes and their properties, seeking bounty from Allah and [His] approval and supporting Allah and His Messenger, [there is also a share]. Those are the truthful
Verse 59:9
وَالَّذِيۡنَ تَبَوَّءُو الدَّارَ وَالۡاِيۡمَانَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ يُحِبُّوۡنَ مَنۡ هَاجَرَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا يَجِدُوۡنَ فِيۡ صُدُوۡرِهِمۡ حَاجَةً مِّمَّا٘ اُوۡتُوۡا وَيُؤۡثِرُوۡنَ عَلٰ٘ي اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ وَلَوۡ كَانَ بِهِمۡ خَصَاصَةٌؕࣞ وَمَنۡ يُّوۡقَ شُحَّ نَفۡسِهٖ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَۚ
wa-alladhīna tabawwaū l-dāra wal-īmāna min qablihim yuḥibbūna man hājara ilayhim walā yajidūna fī ṣudūrihim ḥājatan mimmā ūtū wayu'thirūna ʿalā anfusihim walaw kāna bihim khaṣāṣatun waman yūqa shuḥḥa nafsihi fa-ulāika humu l-muf'liḥūna
And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful
Verse 59:10
وَالَّذِيۡنَ جَآءُوۡ مِنۭۡ بَعۡدِهِمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَا اغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَلِاِخۡوَانِنَا الَّذِيۡنَ سَبَقُوۡنَا بِالۡاِيۡمَانِ وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ فِيۡ قُلُوۡبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا رَبَّنَا٘ اِنَّكَ رَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيۡمٌࣖ
wa-alladhīna jāū min baʿdihim yaqūlūna rabbanā igh'fir lanā wali-ikh'wāninā alladhīna sabaqūnā bil-īmāni walā tajʿal fī qulūbinā ghillan lilladhīna āmanū rabbanā innaka raūfun raḥīmun
And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful
Verse 59:11
اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلَي الَّذِيۡنَ نَافَقُوۡا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ لِاِخۡوَانِهِمُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡكِتٰبِ لَئِنۡ اُخۡرِجۡتُمۡ لَنَخۡرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمۡ وَلَا نُطِيۡعُ فِيۡكُمۡ اَحَدًا اَبَدًاۙ وَّاِنۡ قُوۡتِلۡتُمۡ لَنَنۡصُرَنَّكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَشۡهَدُ اِنَّهُمۡ لَكٰذِبُوۡنَ
Have you not considered those who practice hypocrisy, saying to their brothers who have disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, "If you are expelled, we will surely leave with you, and we will not obey, in regard to you, anyone - ever; and if you are fought, we will surely aid you." But Allah testifies that they are liars
Verse 59:12
لَئِنۡ اُخۡرِجُوۡا لَا يَخۡرُجُوۡنَ مَعَهُمۡۚ وَلَئِنۡ قُوۡتِلُوۡا لَا يَنۡصُرُوۡنَهُمۡۚ وَلَئِنۡ نَّصَرُوۡهُمۡ لَيُوَلُّنَّ الۡاَدۡبَارَࣞ ثُمَّ لَا يُنۡصَرُوۡنَ
If they are expelled, they will not leave with them, and if they are fought, they will not aid them. And [even] if they should aid them, they will surely turn their backs; then [thereafter] they will not be aided
Verse 59:13
لَاَنۡتُمۡ اَشَدُّ رَهۡبَةً فِيۡ صُدُوۡرِهِمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٌ لَّا يَفۡقَهُوۡنَ
You [believers] are more fearful within their breasts than Allah. That is because they are a people who do not understand
Verse 59:14
لَا يُقَاتِلُوۡنَكُمۡ جَمِيۡعًا اِلَّا فِيۡ قُرًي مُّحَصَّنَةٍ اَوۡ مِنۡ وَّرَآءِ جُدُرٍؕ بَاۡسُهُمۡ بَيۡنَهُمۡ شَدِيۡدٌؕ تَحۡسَبُهُمۡ جَمِيۡعًا وَّقُلُوۡبُهُمۡ شَتّٰيؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٌ لَّا يَعۡقِلُوۡنَۚ
They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason
Verse 59:15
كَمَثَلِ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ قَرِيۡبًا ذَاقُوۡا وَبَالَ اَمۡرِهِمۡۚ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌۚ
[Theirs is] like the example of those shortly before them: they tasted the bad consequence of their affair, and they will have a painful punishment
Verse 59:16
كَمَثَلِ الشَّيۡطٰنِ اِذۡ قَالَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ اكۡفُرۡۚ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ اِنِّيۡ بَرِيۡٓءٌ مِّنۡكَ اِنِّيۡ٘ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ رَبَّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ
[The hypocrites are] like the example of Satan when he says to man, "Disbelieve." But when he disbelieves, he says, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds
Verse 59:17
فَكَانَ عَاقِبَتَهُمَا٘ اَنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ خَالِدَيۡنِ فِيۡهَاؕ وَذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا الظّٰلِمِيۡنَࣖ
So the outcome for both of them is that they will be in the Fire, abiding eternally therein. And that is the recompense of the wrong-doers
Verse 59:18
يٰ٘اَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلۡتَنۡظُرۡ نَفۡسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ لِغَدٍۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيۡرٌۭ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ
O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do
Verse 59:19
وَلَا تَكُوۡنُوۡا كَالَّذِيۡنَ نَسُوا اللّٰهَ فَاَنۡسٰىهُمۡ اَنۡفُسَهُمۡؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الۡفٰسِقُوۡنَ
And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient
Verse 59:20
لَا يَسۡتَوِيۡ٘ اَصۡحٰبُ النَّارِ وَاَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَنَّةِؕ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَنَّةِ هُمُ الۡفَآئِزُوۡنَ
Not equal are the companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise. The companions of Paradise - they are the attainers [of success]
Verse 59:21
لَوۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَا هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ عَلٰي جَبَلٍ لَّرَاَيۡتَهٗ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ اللّٰهِؕ وَتِلۡكَ الۡاَمۡثَالُ نَضۡرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ
If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah. And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought
Verse 59:22
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡ لَا٘ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ عٰلِمُ الۡغَيۡبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِۚ هُوَ الرَّحۡمٰنُ الرَّحِيۡمُ
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Verse 59:23
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيۡ لَا٘ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ اَلۡمَلِكُ الۡقُدُّوۡسُ السَّلٰمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنُ الۡمُهَيۡمِنُ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡجَبَّارُ الۡمُتَكَبِّرُؕ سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُوۡنَ
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him
Verse 59:24
هُوَ اللّٰهُ الۡخَالِقُ الۡبَارِئُ الۡمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الۡاَسۡمَآءُ الۡحُسۡنٰيؕ يُسَبِّحُ لَهٗ مَا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِۚ وَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُࣖ
He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise
