61: The Ranks, Battle Array
|
1 |
Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, let it declare the Praises
and Glory of God: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
|
2 |
O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not?
|
3 |
Grievously odious is it in the sight of God that ye say that which ye
do not.
|
4 |
Truly God loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if
they were a solid cemented structure.
|
5 |
And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do ye vex
and insult me, though ye know that I am the apostle of God (sent) to
you?" Then when they went wrong, God let their hearts go wrong. For
God guides not those who are rebellious transgressors.
|
6 |
And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I
am the apostle of God (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came)
before me, and giving Glad Tidings of an Apostle to come after me,
whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs,
they said, "this is evident sorcery!"
|
7 |
Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against God,
even as he is being invited to Islam? And God guides not those who do
wrong.
|
8 |
Their intention is to extinguish God's Light (by blowing) with their
mouths: But God will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even
though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
|
9 |
It is He Who has sent His Apostle with Guidance and the Religion of
Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the
Pagans may detest (it).
|
10 |
O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you
from a grievous Penalty?-
|
11 |
That ye believe in God and His Apostle, and that ye strive (your
utmost) in the Cause of God, with your property and your persons: That
will be best for you, if ye but knew!
|
12 |
He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which
Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is
indeed the Supreme Achievement.
|
13 |
And another (favour will He bestow,) which ye do love,- help from God
and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers.
|
14 |
O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of God: As said Jesus the son of Mary
to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) God?" Said
the disciples, "We are God's helpers!" then a portion of the Children
of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to
those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones
that prevailed.
