Hizb 52

God was pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you [Prophet] under the tree: He knew what was in their hearts and so He sent tranquillity down to them and rewarded them with a speedy triumph

Translation 1260

and with many future gains. God is mighty and wise

Translation 1260

He has promised you [people] many future gains: He has hastened this gain for you. He has held back the hands of hostile people from you as a sign for the faithful and He will guide you to a straight path

Translation 1260

There are many other gains [to come], over which you have no power. God has full control over them: God has power over all things

Translation 1260

If the disbelievers had fought against you, they would have taken flight and found no one to protect or support them

Translation 1260

such was God’s practice in the past and you will find no change in God’s practices

Translation 1260

In the valley of Mecca it was He who held their hands back from you and your hands back from them after He gave you the advantage over them––God sees all that you do

Translation 1260

They were the ones who disbelieved, who barred you from the Sacred Mosque, and who prevented the offering from reaching its place of sacrifice. If there had not been among them, unknown to you, believing men and women whom you would have trampled underfoot, inadvertently incurring guilt on their account- God brings whoever He will into His mercy- if the [believers] had been clearly separated, We would have inflicted a painful punishment on the disbelievers

Translation 1260

While the disbelievers had fury in their hearts- the fury of ignorance- God sent His tranquillity down on to His Messenger and the believers and made binding on them [their] promise to obey God, for that was more appropriate and fitting for them. God has full knowledge of all things

Translation 1260

God has truly fulfilled His Messenger’s vision: ‘God willing, you will most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque in safety, shavenheaded or with cropped hair, without fear!’- God knew what you did not- and He has granted you a speedy triumph

Translation 1260

It was He who sent His Messenger, with guidance and the religion of Truth, for him to show that it is above all [false] religion. God suffices as a witness

Translation 1260

Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those who follow him are harsh towards the disbelievers and compassionate towards each other. You see them kneeling and prostrating, seeking God’s bounty and His good pleasure: on their faces they bear the marks of their prostrations. This is how they are pictured in the Torah and the Gospel: like a seed that puts forth its shoot, becomes strong, grows thick, and rises on its stem to the delight of its sowers. So God infuriates the disbelievers through them; God promises forgiveness and a great reward to those who believe and do righteous deeds

Translation 1260

Believers, do not push yourselves forward in the presence of God and His Messenger––be mindful of God: He hears and knows all––

Translation 1260

believers, do not raise your voices above the Prophet’s, do not raise your voice when speaking to him as you do to one another, or your [good] deeds may be cancelled out without you knowing

Translation 1260

It is those who lower their voices in the presence of God’s Messenger whose hearts God has proved to be aware––they will have forgiveness, and a great reward––

Translation 1260

but most of those who shout to you [Prophet] from outside your private rooms lack understanding

Translation 1260

It would have been better for them if they had waited patiently for you to come out to them but God is all forgiving and merciful

Translation 1260

Believers, if a troublemaker brings you news, check it first, in case you wrong others unwittingly and later regret what you have done

Translation 1260

and be aware that it is God’s Messenger who is among you: in many matters you would certainly suffer if he were to follow your wishes. God has endeared faith to you and made it beautiful to your hearts; He has made disbelief, mischief, and disobedience hateful to you. It is people like this who are rightly guided

Translation 1260

through God’s favour and blessing: God is all knowing and all wise

Translation 1260

If two groups of the believers fight, you [believers] should try to reconcile them; if one of them is [clearly] oppressing the other, fight the oppressors until they submit to God’s command, then make a just and even-handed reconciliation between the two of them: God loves those who are even-handed

Translation 1260

The believers are brothers, so make peace between your two brothers and be mindful of God, so that you may be given mercy

Translation 1260

Believers, no one group of men should jeer at another, who may after all be better than them; no one group of women should jeer at another, who may after all be better than them; do not speak ill of one another; do not use offensive nicknames for one another. How bad it is to be called a mischief-maker after accepting faith! Those who do not repent of this behaviour are evildoers

Translation 1260

Believers, avoid making too many assumptions- some assumptions are sinful- and do not spy on one another or speak ill of people behind their backs: would any of you like to eat the flesh of your dead brother? No, you would hate it. So be mindful of God: God is ever relenting, most merciful

Translation 1260

People, We created you all from a single man and a single woman, and made you into races and tribes so that you should recognize one another. In God’s eyes, the most honoured of you are the ones most mindful of Him: God is all knowing, all aware

Translation 1260

The desert Arabs say, ‘We have faith.’ [Prophet], tell them, ‘You do not have faith. What you should say instead is, “We have submitted,” for faith has not yet entered your hearts.’ If you obey God and His Messenger, He will not diminish any of your deeds: He is most forgiving and most merciful

Translation 1260

The true believers are the ones who have faith in God and His Messenger and leave all doubt behind, the ones who have struggled with their possessions and their persons in God’s way: they are the ones who are true

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Do you presume to teach God about your religion, when God knows everything in the heavens and earth, and He has full knowledge of all things?’

Translation 1260

They think they have done you [Prophet] a favour by submitting. Say, ‘Do not consider your submission a favour to me; it is God who has done you a favour, by guiding you to faith, if you are truly sincere.’

Translation 1260

God knows the secrets of the heavens and earth: He sees everything you do

Translation 1260

Qaf By the glorious Quran

Translation 1260

But the disbelievers are amazed that a warner has come from among them and they say, ‘How strange

Translation 1260

To come back [to life] after we have died and become dust? That is too farfetched.’

Translation 1260

We know very well what the earth takes away from them: We keep a comprehensive record

Translation 1260

But the disbelievers deny the truth when it comes to them; they are in a state of confusion

Translation 1260

Do they not see the sky above them––how We have built and adorned it, with no rifts in it

Translation 1260

how We spread out the earth and put solid mountains on it, and caused every kind of joyous plant to grow in it

Translation 1260

as a lesson and reminder for every servant who turns to God

Translation 1260

and how We send blessed water down from the sky and grow with it gardens, the harvest grain

Translation 1260

and tall palm trees laden with clusters of dates

Translation 1260

as a provision for everyone; how with water We give [new] life to a land that is dead? This is how the dead will emerge [from their graves]

Translation 1260

The people of Noah disbelieved long before these disbelievers, as did the people of Rass, Thamud

Translation 1260

Ad, Pharaoh, Lot

Translation 1260

the Forest-Dwellers, Tubba: all of these people disbelieved their messengers, and so My warning was realized

Translation 1260

So were We incapable of the first creation? No indeed! Yet they doubt a second creation

Translation 1260

We created man––We know what his soul whispers to him: We are closer to him than his jugular vein––

Translation 1260

with two receptors set to record, one on his right side and one on his left

Translation 1260

he does not utter a single word without an ever-present watcher

Translation 1260

The trance of death will bring the Truth with it: ‘This is what you tried to escape.’

Translation 1260

The Trumpet will be sounded: ‘This is the Day [you were] warned of.’

Translation 1260

Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness

Translation 1260

‘You paid no attention to this [Day]; but today We have removed your veil and your sight is sharp.’

Translation 1260

The person’s attendant will say, ‘Here is what I have prepared’

Translation 1260

‘Hurl every obstinate disbeliever into Hell

Translation 1260

everyone who hindered good, was aggressive, caused others to doubt

Translation 1260

and set up other gods alongside God. Hurl him into severe punishment!’

Translation 1260

and his [evil] companion will say, ‘Lord, I did not make him transgress; he had already gone far astray himself.’
