Qur'an, Sura 59
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent the Merciful.
[59.1] Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth
declares the glory of Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
[59.2] He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of the
followers of the Book to go forth from their homes at the first
banishment you did not think that they would go forth, while
they were certain that their fortresses would defend them
against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they did not
expect, and cast terror into their hearts; they demolished their
houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers;
therefore take a lesson, O you who have eyes!
[59.3] And had it not been that Allah had decreed for them the
exile, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and
m the hereafter they shall have chastisement of the fire.
[59.4] That is because they acted in opposition to Allah and His
Apostle, and whoever acts in opposition to Allah, then surely
Allah is severe in retributing (evil).
[59.5] Whatever palm-tree you cut down or leave standing upon
its roots, It is by Allah's command, and that He may abase the
transgressors.
[59.6] And whatever Allah restored to His Apostle from them you
did not press forward against it any horse or a riding camel but
Allah gives authority to His apostles against whom He pleases,
and Allah has power over all things.
[59.7] Whatever Allah has restored to His Apostle from the
people of the towns, it is for Allah and for the Apostle, and
for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the
wayfarer, so that it may not be a thing taken by turns among the
rich of you, and whatever the Apostle gives you, accept it, and
from whatever he forbids you, keep back, and be careful of (your
duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil):
[59.8] (It is) for the poor who fled their homes and their
possessions, seeking grace of Allah and (His) pleasure, and
assisting Allah and His Apostle: these it is that are the
truthful.
[59.9] And those who made their abode in the city and in the
faith before them love those who have fled to them, and do not
find in their hearts a need of what they are given, and prefer
(them) before themselves though poverty may afflict them, and
whoever is preserved from the niggardliness of his soul, these
it is that are the successful ones.
[59.10] And those who come after them say: Our Lord! forgive us
and those of our brethren who had precedence of us in faith, and
do not allow any spite to remain in our hearts towards those who
believe, our Lord! surely Thou art Kind, Merciful.
[59.11] Have you not seen those who have become hypocrites? They
say to those of their brethren who disbelieve from among the
followers of the Book: If you are driven forth, we shall
certainly go forth with you, and we will never obey any one
concerning you, and if you are fought against, we will certainly
help you, and Allah bears witness that they are most surely
liars.
[59.12] Certainly if these are driven forth, they will not go
forth with them, and if they are fought against, they will not
help them, and even if they help-them, they will certainly turn
(their) backs, then they shall not be helped.
[59.13] You are certainly greater in being feared in their
hearts than Allah; that is because they are a people who do not
understand
[59.14] They will not fight against you in a body save in
fortified towns or from behind walls; their fighting between
them is severe, you may think them as one body, and their hearts
are disunited; that is because they are a people who have no
sense.
[59.15] Like those before them shortly; they tasted the evil
result of their affair, and they shall have a painful
punishment.
[59.16] Like the Shaitan when he says to man: Disbelieve, but
when he disbelieves, he says: I am surely clear of you; surely I
fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
[59.17] Therefore the end of both of them is that they are both
in the fire to abide therein, and that is the reward of the
unjust.
[59.18] O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah,
and let every soul consider what it has sent on for the morrow,
and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Aware of
what you do.
[59.19] And be not like those who forsook Allah, so He made them
forsake their own souls: these it is that are the transgressors.
[59.20] Not alike are the inmates of the fire and the dwellers
of the garden: the dwellers of the garden are they that are the
achievers.
[59.21] Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would
certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because
of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men
that they may reflect.
[59.22] He is Allah besides Whom there is no god; the Knower of
the unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful
[59.23] He is Allah, besides Whom there is no god; the King, the
Holy, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian over
all, the Mighty, the Supreme, the Possessor of every greatness
Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him).
[59.24] He is Allah the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His
are the most excellent names; whatever is in the heavens and the
earth declares His glory; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
