Book 2: chapters 21-65 36 страница

 THE GATHERING OF THE EXILES 59: 13 - 59: 24

 31.

13. Fear of you is more intense in their hearts than fear of God.

32.

That is because they are a people who do not understand.

33.

14. They will not fight you all together except from fortified strongholds,

or from behind walls.

34.

Their hostility towards each other is severe.

35.

You would think they are united,

yet their hearts are diverse.

36.

That is because they are a people who do not understand.

37.

15. Like those shortly before them.

They experienced the consequences of their decisions.

38.

For them is decreed a painful punishment.

39.

16. Like the devil, when he says to the human being, “Disbelieve. ”

Yet when the human being has disbelieved,

he says, “I am innocent of you;

40.

I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds. ”

41.

17. The ultimate end for both of them is the Fire, where they will dwell forever.

42.

Such is the requital for the wrongdoers.

43.

18. O you who believe!

Fear God,

and let every soul consider what it has forwarded for the morrow, and fear God.

44.

God is Aware of what you do.

45.

19. And do not be like those who forgot God,

so He made them forget themselves.

46.

These are the sinners.

47.

20. Not equal are the inhabitants of the Fire and the inhabitants of Paradise.

48.

It is the inhabitants of Paradise who are the winners.

49.

21. Had We sent this Quran down on a mountain,

you would have seen it trembling, crumbling in awe of God.

50.

These parables We cite for the people, so that they may reflect.

51.

22. He is God.

52.

There is no god except He, the Knower of secrets and declarations.

53.

He is the Compassionate, the Merciful.

54.

23. He is God;

besides Whom there is no god;

55.

the Sovereign,

the Holy,

the Peace-Giver,

the Faith-Giver,

56.

the Overseer,

the Almighty,

the Omnipotent,

the Overwhelming.

57.

Glory be to God, beyond what they associate.

58.

24. He is God;

the Creator, the Maker, the Designer.

59.

His are the Most Beautiful Names.

60.

Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him.

He is the Majestic, the Wise.

 THE EXAMINED ONE 60: 1 - 60: 13

1.

1. O you who believe!

Do not take My enemies and your enemies for supporters,

offering them affection,

when they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the Truth.

2.

They have expelled the Messenger, and you,

because you believed in God, your Lord.

3.

If you have mobilized to strive for My cause, seeking My approval,

how can you secretly love them?

4.

I know what you conceal and what you reveal.

5.

Whoever among you does that has strayed from the right way.

6.

2. Whenever they encounter you, they treat you as enemies,

and they stretch their hands and tongues against you with malice.

7.

They wish that you would disbelieve.

8.

3. Neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection.

9.

He will separate between you.

God is Observant of what you do.

10.

4. You have had an excellent example in Abraham and those with him;

when they said to their people,

11.

“We are quit of you, and what you worship apart from God.

13.

We denounce you.

Enmity and hatred has surfaced between us and you,

forever, until you believe in God alone. ”

15.

Except for the words of Abraham to his father,

“I will ask forgiveness for you,

though I have no power from God to do anything for you. ”

16.

“Our Lord, in You we trust,

and to You we repent,

and to You is the ultimate resort.

17.

5. Our Lord, do not make us a target for those who disbelieve,

and forgive us, our Lord.

18.

You are indeed the Mighty and Wise. ”

19.

6. There is an excellent example in them for you

—for anyone who seeks God and the Last Day.

20.

Yet for whoever turns away—

God is the Self-Sufficient, the Most Praised. (God does not need the praise of the people, etc)

21.

7. Perhaps God will plant affection between you and those of them you consider enemies.

22.

God is Capable.

God is Forgiving and Merciful.

23.

8. As for those who have not fought against you for your religion,

nor expelled you from your homes,

God does not prohibit you from dealing with them kindly and equitably.

24.

God loves the equitable.

25.

9. Yet God prohibits you from befriending those who fought against you over your religion,

and expelled you from your homes, and aided in your expulsion.

26.

Whoever takes them for friends—these are the wrongdoers.

27.

10. O you who believe!

When believing women come to you emigrating, test them.

28.

God is Aware of their faith.

29.

And if you find them to be faithful,

do not send them back to the unbelievers.

30.

They are not lawful for them, nor are they lawful for them.

31.

Yet give them what they have spent.

32.

You are not at fault if you marry them,

provided you give them their compensation.

33.

And do not hold on to ties with unbelieving women,

yet demand what you have spent on them,

and let them demand what they have spent on ye.

34.

This is the rule of God;

He rules among you.

God is Knowing and Wise.

35.

11. If any of your wives desert you to the unbelievers,

and you decide to penalize them,

give those whose wives have gone away the equivalent of what they had spent.

36.

And fear God, in whom you are believers.

37.

12. O prophet! If believing women come to you, pledging allegiance to you,

on condition that they will not associate anything with God,

38.

nor steal,

nor commit adultery,

nor kill their children,

nor commit perjury as to parenthood,

nor disobey you in anything righteous,

39.

accept their allegiance and ask God’s forgiveness for them.

God is Forgiving and Merciful.

40.

13. O you who believe!

Do not befriend people with whom God has become angry,

and have despaired of the Hereafter,

as the faithless have despaired of the occupants of the graves.

 THE BATTLE RANKS 61: 1 - 61: 14

1.

1. Everything in the heavens and the earth praises God.

He is the Almighty, the Wise.

2.

2. O you who believe!

Why do you say what you do not do?

3.

3. It is most hateful to God that you say what you do not do.

4.

4. God loves those who fight in His cause, in ranks,

as though they were a compact structure.

5.

5. When Moses said to his people,

“O my people, why do you hurt me,

although you know that I am God’s Messenger to you? ”

6.

And when they swerved, God swerved their hearts.

7.

God does not guide the sinful people.

8.

6. And when Jesus son of Mary said,

“O Children of Israel, I am God’s Messenger to you,

confirming what preceded me of the Torah,

and announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad. ”

9.

Yet when he showed them the miracles,

they said, “This is obvious sorcery. ”

10.

7. And who is a greater wrongdoer than he who attributes falsehoods to God,

when he is being invited to Islam?

11.

God does not guide the wrongdoing people.

12.

8. They want to extinguish God’s Light with their mouths;

13.

yet God will complete His Light,

even though the disbelievers dislike it.

14.

9. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion,

to make it prevail over all religions,

even though the idolaters dislike it.

15.

10. O you who believe!

Shall I inform you of a trade that will save you from a painful torment?

16.

11. That you believe in God and His Messenger,

and strive in the cause of God with your possessions and your lives.

17.

That is best for you, if you only knew.

18.

12. He will forgive you your sins;

and will admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow,

and into beautiful mansions in the Gardens of Eden.

19.

That is the supreme success.

20.

13. And something else you love you will be given:

support from God, and imminent victory.

21.

So give good news to the believers.

22.

14. O you who believe!

Be supporters of God,

as Jesus son of Mary said to the disciples,

“Who are my supporters towards God? ”

23.

The disciples said, “We are God's supporters. ”

24.

So a group of the Children of Israel believed,

while another group disbelieved.

25.

We supported those who believed against their foe,

so they became dominant.

 THE FRIDAY CONGREGATION 62: 1 - 62: 11

1.

1. Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies God the Sovereign,

the Holy, the Almighty, the Wise.

2.

2. It is He who sent among the unlettered a messenger from among them;

3.

reciting His revelations to them, and purifying them,

and teaching them the Scripture and wisdom;

4.

although they were in obvious error before that.

5.

3. And also to others from them, who have not yet joined them.

He is the Glorious, the Wise.

6.

4. That is God’s grace, that He grants to whomever He wills.

7.

God is Possessor of limitless grace.

8.

5. The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah,

yet then failed to uphold it, is like the donkey carrying works of literature.

9.

Miserable is the example of the people who denounce God’s revelations.

10.

God does not guide the wrongdoing people.

11.

6. Say to them, “O you who follow Judaism;

If you claim to be the chosen of God, to the exclusion of the rest of mankind,

then wish for death if you are sincere. ”

12.

7. Yet they will not wish for it, ever,

due to what their hands have advanced.

13.

God knows well the wrongdoers.

14.

8. Say to them, “The death from which you flee will catch up with you;

15.

then you will be returned to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible,

and He will inform you of what you used to do. ”

16.

9. O you who believe!

When the call is made for prayer on Congregation Day,

hasten to the remembrance of God, and drop all business.

17.

That is better for you, if you only knew.

18.

10. Then, when the prayer is concluded,

disperse through the land, and seek God’s bounty,

and remember God much, so that you may prosper.

19.

11. Yet whenever they come across some business, or some entertainment,

they scramble towards it, and leave you standing.

20.

Say to them, “What is with God is better than entertainment and business;

and God is the Best of providers. ”

THE HYPOCRITES 63: 1 - 63: 11

1.

1. When the hypocrites come to you, they say,

“We bear witness that you are God’s Messenger. ”

2.

God knows that you are His Messenger,

and God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars.

3.

2. They treat their oaths as a cover,

and so they repel others from God’s path.

4.

Evil is what they do.

5.

3. That is because they believed, and then disbelieved;

so their hearts were sealed, and they cannot understand.

6.

4. When you see them, their appearance impresses you.

7.

And when they speak, you listen to what they say.

8.

They are like propped-up timber.

9.

They think every shout is aimed at them.

10.

They are the enemy, so beware of them.

11.

God condemns them;

how deluded they are!

12.

5. And when it is said to them,

“Come, the Messenger of God will ask forgiveness for you, ”

they bend their heads,

and you see them turning away arrogantly.

13.

6. It is the same for them,

whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them;

14.

God will not forgive them.

15.

God does not guide the sinful people.

16.

7. It is they who say:

“Do not spend anything on those who side with God’s Messenger,

unless they have dispersed. ”

17.

To God belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth,

but the hypocrites do not understand.

18.

8. They say, “If we return to the City, the more powerful therein will evict the weak. ”

19.

Yet power belongs to God, and His Messenger, and the believers;

yet the hypocrites do not know.

20.

9. O you who believe!

Let neither your possessions nor your children distract you from the remembrance of God.

21.

Whoever does that—these are the losers.

22.

10. And give from what We have provided for you,

before death approaches one of you, and he says,

23.

“My Lord, if only You would delay me for a short while,

so that I may be charitable, and be one of the righteous. ”

24.

11. Yet God will not delay a soul when its time has come.
