Sayaqoolu laka almukhallafoona mina al-aAArabi shaghalatna amwaluna waahloona faistaghfir lana yaqooloona bi-alsinatihim ma laysa fee quloobihim qul faman yamliku lakum mina Allahi shay-an in arada bikum darran aw arada bikum nafAAan bal kana Allahu bima taAAmaloona khabeeran\n11. The desert Arabs who\n Lagged behind will\nSay to thee:\n \"We were engaged in\n (Looking after) our flocks\n And herds, and our families:\n Do thou then ask\n Forgiveness for us.\n They say with their tongues\n What is not in their hearts.\n Say: \"Who then has\n Any power at all\n (To intervene) on your behalf\n With God, if His Will\n Is to give you some loss\n Or to give you some profit?\n But God is well acquainted\n With all that ye do.\n12. Bal thanantum an lan yanqaliba alrrasoolu waalmu/minoona ila ahleehim abadan wazuyyina thalika fee quloobikum wathanantum thanna alssaw-i wakuntum qawman booran\n12. \"Nay, ye thought that\n The Apostle and the Believers\n Would never return to\n Their families; this seemed\n Pleasing in your hearts, and\n Ye conceived an evil thought,\n For ye are a people\n Lost (in wickedness).\"\n13. Waman lam yu/min biAllahi warasoolihi fa-inna aAAtadna lilkafireena saAAeeran\n13. And if any believe not\n In God and His Apostle,\n We have prepared,\n For those who reject God,\n A Blazing Fire!\n14. Walillahi mulku alssamawati waal-ardi yaghfiru liman yashao wayuAAaththibu man yashao wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman\n14. To God belongs the dominion\n Of the heavens and the earth:\n He forgives whom He wills,\n And He punishes whom He\nWills: but God is\n Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.\n15. Sayaqoolu almukhallafoona itha intalaqtum ila maghanima lita/khuthooha tharoona nattabiAAkum yureedoona an yubaddiloo kalama Allahi qul lan tattabiAAoona kathalikum qala Allahu min qablu fasayaqooloona bal tahsudoonana bal kanoo la yafqahoona illa qaleelan\n15. Those who lagged behind\n (Will say), when ye (are\n Free to) march and take\n Booty (in war): \"Permit us\n To follow you.\" They wish\n To change God's decree:\n Say: \"Not thus\n Will ye follow us:\n God has already declared\n (This) beforehand\": then they\n Will say, \"But ye are\n Jealous of us.\" Nay,\n But little do they understand\n (Such things).\n16. Qul lilmukhallafeena mina al-aAArabi satudAAawna ila qawmin olee ba/sin shadeedin tuqatiloonahum aw yuslimoona fa-in tuteeAAoo yu/tikumu Allahu ajran hasanan wa-in tatawallaw kama tawallaytum min qablu yuAAaththibkum AAathaban aleeman\n16. Say to the desert Arabs\n Who lagged behind: \"Ye\n Shall be summoned (to fight)\n Against a people given to\n Vehement war: then shall ye\n Fight, or they shall submit.\n Then if ye show obedience,\n God will grant you\n A goodly reward, but if\n Ye turn back as ye\nDid before, He will punish\n You with a grievous Penalty.\"\n17. Laysa AAala al-aAAma harajun wala AAala al-aAAraji harajun wala AAala almareedi harajun waman yutiAAi Allaha warasoolahu yudkhilhu jannatin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu waman yatawalla yuAAaththibhu AAathaban aleeman\n17. No blame is there\n On the blind, nor is\n There blame on the lame,\n Nor on one ill (if he\n Joins not the war):\n But he that obeys God\n And His Apostle,\u2014(God)\n Will admit him to Gardens\n Beneath which rivers flow;\n And he who turns back,\n (God) will punish him\n With a grievous Penalty.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XLVIII.: Fat-\u1e25 or Victory.: Section 2 (11-17)","type":"page"}
