Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la takoonoo kaallatheena kafaroo waqaloo li-ikhwanihim itha daraboo fee al-ardi aw kanoo ghuzzan law kanoo AAindana ma matoo wama qutiloo liyajAAala Allahu thalika hasratan fee quloobihim waAllahu yuhyee wayumeetu waAllahu bima taAAmaloona baseerun\n156. O ye who believe!\n Be not like the Unbelievers,\n Who say of their brethren,\n When they are travelling\n Through the earth or engaged\n In fighting: \"If they had stayed\n With us, they would not\n Have died, or been slain.\"\nThis that God may make it\n A cause of sighs and regrets\n In their hearts. It is God\n That gives Life and Death,\n And God sees well\n All that ye do.\n157. Wala-in qutiltum fee sabeeli Allahi aw muttum lamaghfiratun mina Allahi warahmatun khayrun mimma yajmaAAoona\n157. And if ye are slain, or die,\n In the way of God,\n Forgiveness and mercy\n From God are far better\n Than all they could amass.\n158. Wala-in muttum aw qutiltum la-ila Allahi tuhsharoona\n158. And if ye die, or are slain,\n Lo! it is-unto God\n That ye are brought together.\n159. Fabima rahmatin mina Allahi linta lahum walaw kunta faththan ghaleetha alqalbi lainfaddoo min hawlika faoAAfu AAanhum waistaghfir lahum washawirhum fee al-amri fa-itha AAazamta fatawakkal AAala Allahi inna Allaha yuhibbu almutawakkileena\n159. It is part of the Mercy\n Of God that thou dost deal\n Gently with them.\n Wert thou severe\n Or harsh-hearted,\n They would have broken away\n From about thee: so pass over\n (Their faults), and ask\n For (God's) forgiveness\n For them; and consult\n Them in affairs (of moment).\n Then, when thou hast\n Taken a decision,\n Put thy trust in God.\nFor God loves those\n Who put their trust (in Him).\n160. In yansurkumu Allahu fala ghaliba lakum wa-in yakhthulkum faman tha allathee yansurukum min baAAdihi waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almu/minoona\n160. If God helps you,\n Non can overcome you:\n If He forsakes you,\n Who is there, after that,\n That can help you?\n In God, then,\n Let Believers put their trust.\n161. Wama kana linabiyyin an yaghulla waman yaghlul ya/ti bima ghalla yawma alqiyamati thumma tuwaffa kullu nafsin ma kasabat wahum la yuthlamoona\n161. No prophet could (ever)\n Be false to his trust.\n If any person is so false,\n He shall, on the Day\n Of Judgment, restore\n What he misappropriated;\n Then shall every soul\n Receive its due,\u2014\n Whatever it earned,\u2014\n And none shall be\n Dealt with unjustly.\n162. Afamani ittabaAAa ridwana Allahi kaman baa bisakhatin mina Allahi wama/wahu jahannamu wabi/sa almaseeru\n162. Is the man who follows\n The good pleasure of God\n Like the man who draws\n On himself the wrath\n Of God, and whose abode\n Is in Hell?\u2014\n A woeful refuge!\n163. Hum darajatun AAinda Allahi waAllahu baseerun bima yaAAmaloona\n163. They are in varying grades\n In the sight of God,\n And God sees well\n All that they do.\n164. Laqad manna Allahu AAala almu/mineena ith baAAatha feehim rasoolan min anfusihim yatloo AAalayhim ayatihi wayuzakkeehim wayuAAallimuhumu alkitaba waalhikmata wa-in kanoo min qablu lafee dalalin mubeenin\n164. God did confer\n A great favour\nOn the Believers\n When He sent among them\n An Apostle from among\n Themselves, rehearsing\n Unto them the Signs\n Of God, sanctifying them,\n And instructing them\n In Scripture and Wisdom,\n While, before that,\n They had been\n In manifest error.\n165. Awa lamma asabatkum museebatun qad asabtum mithlayha qultum anna hatha qul huwa min AAindi anfusikum inna Allaha AAala kulli shay-in qadeerun\n165. What! When a single\n Disaster smites you,\n Although ye smote (your enemies)\n With one twice as great,\n Do ye say?\u2014\n \"Whence is this?\"\n Say (to them):\n \"It is from yourselves:\n For God hath power\n Over all things.\"\n166. Wama asabakum yawma iltaqa aljamAAani fabi-ithni Allahi waliyaAAlama almu/mineena\n166. What ye suffered\n On the day the two armies\n Met, was with the leave\n Of God, in order that\n He might test the Believers,\u2014\n167. WaliyaAAlama allatheena nafaqoo waqeela lahum taAAalaw qatiloo fee sabeeli Allahi awi idfaAAoo qaloo law naAAlamu qitalan laittabaAAnakum hum lilkufri yawma-ithin aqrabu minhum lil-eemani yaqooloona bi-afwahihim ma laysa fee quloobihim waAllahu aAAlamu bima yaktumoona\n167. And the Hypocrites also.\n These were told: \"Come,\n Fight in the way of God,\n Or (at least) drive\n (The foe from Your city).\"\n They said: \"Had we known\n How to fight, we should\n Certainly have followed you.\"\nThey were that day\n Nearer to Unbelief\n Than to Faith,\n Saying with their lips\n What was not in their hearts.\n But God hath full knowledge\n Of all they conceal.\n168. Allatheena qaloo li-ikhwanihim waqaAAadoo law ataAAoona ma qutiloo qul faidraoo AAan anfusikumu almawta in kuntum sadiqeena\n168. (They are) the ones that say,\n (Of their brethren slain),\n While they themselves\n Sit (at ease): \"If only\n They had listened to us,\n They would not have been slain.\"\n Say: \"Avert death\n From your own selves,\n If ye speak the truth.\"\n169. Wala tahsabanna allatheena qutiloo fee sabeeli Allahi amwatan bal ahyaon AAinda rabbihim yurzaqoona\n169. Think not of those\n Who are slain in God's way\n As dead. Nay, they live,\n Finding their sustenance\n In the Presence of their Lord;\n170. Fariheena bima atahumu Allahu min fadlihi wayastabshiroona biallatheena lam yalhaqoo bihim min khalfihim alla khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona\n170. They rejoice in the Bounty\n Provided by God:\n And with regard to those\n Left behind, who have not\n Yet joined them (in their bliss),\n The (Martyrs) glory in the fact\n That on them is no fear,\n Nor have they (cause to) grieve.\n171. Yastabshiroona biniAAmatin mina Allahi wafadlin waanna Allaha la yudeeAAu ajra almu/mineena\n171. They glory in the Grace\n And the Bounty from God,\n And in the fact that\n God suffereth not\nThe reward of the Faithful\n To be lost (in the least).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra III.: \u0100l-i-\u2019Imr\u0101n, o...","type":"page"}
