61. As-Saff In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most
Merciful.
|
| 1. |
 Whatsoever
is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allâh. And He
is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. |
| 2. |
 O you who
believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? |
| 3. |
 Most hateful
it is with Allâh that you say that which you do not do. |
| 4. |
 Verily,
Allâh loves those who fight in His Cause in rows (ranks) as if they were a
solid structure[] . |
| 5. |
 And
(remember) when Mûsa (Moses) said to his people: "O my people! Why do you
hurt me while you know certainly that I am the Messenger of Allâh to you?
So when they turned away (from the Path of Allâh), Allâh turned their
hearts away (from the Right Path). And Allâh guides not the people who are
Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). |
| 6. |
 And
(remember) when 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Children of
Israel! I am the Messenger of Allâh unto you confirming the Taurât
[(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to
come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed[] . But when he
(Ahmed i.e. Muhammad SAW) came to them with clear proofs, they
said: "This is plain magic[]." |
| 7. |
 And who does
more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allâh, while he is being
invited to Islâm? And Allâh guides not the people who are Zâlimûn
(polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers) folk. |
| 8. |
 They intend
to put out the Light of Allâh (i.e. the religion of Islâm, this Qur'ân,
and Prophet Muhammad SAW) with their mouths. But Allâh will
complete His Light even though the disbelievers hate (it). |
| 9. |
 He it is Who
has sent His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with guidance and the
religion of truth (Islâmic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all
(other) religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans,
idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger
Muhammed SAW) hate (it)[]. |
| 10. |
 O You who
believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful
torment. |
| 11. |
 That
you believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and that
you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your
lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! |
| 12. |
 (If you do
so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which
rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of 'Adn
Eternity ['Adn (Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great
success. |
| 13. |
 And also
(He will give you) another (blessing) which you love, help from Allâh
(against your enemies) and a near victory. And give glad tidings (O
Muhammad SAW) to the believers. |
| 14. |
 O you who
believe! Be you helpers (in the Cause) of Allâh as said 'Iesa (Jesus), son
of Maryam (Mary), to AlHawârîeen (the disciples) : "Who are my
helpers (in the Cause) of Allâh?" AlHawârîeen (the disciples)
said: "We are Allâh's helpers" (i.e. we will strive in His Cause!). Then a
group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We
gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became
the uppermost. |
