ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ
al-salihati
righteous deeds

in what

Muhammad
وَهُوَ

but He will overlook the bad deeds of those who have faith, do good deeds, and believe in what has been sent down to Muhammad––the truth from their Lord––and He will put them into a good state

Translation 1260

47:3
ذَٰلِكَ
dhalika
That
بِأَنَّ
bi-anna
(is) because
ٱلَّذِينَ

those who
كَفَرُواْ
kafaru
disbelieve
ٱتَّبَعُواْ

follow
ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ

falsehood

wa-anna
and that
ٱلَّذِينَ
alladhina
those who
ءَامَنُواْ

believe
ٱتَّبَعُواْ

follow
ٱلۡحَقَّ
al-haqa
(the) truth
مِن
min
from
رَّبِّهِمۡۚ
rabbihim
their Lord
كَذَٰلِكَ

Thus
يَضۡرِبُ

Allah presents
ٱللَّهُ
al-lahu
Allah presents
لِلنَّاسِ
lilnnasi
to the people
أَمۡثَٰلَهُمۡ
amthalahum
their similitudes
٣

This is because the disbelievers follow falsehood, while the believers follow the truth from their Lord. In this way God shows people their true type

Translation 1260

47:4
فَإِذَا

So when
لَقِيتُمُ
laqitumu
you meet
ٱلَّذِينَ
alladhina
those who
كَفَرُواْ
kafaru
disbelieve
فَضَرۡبَ

then strike

until
إِذَآ

when
أَثۡخَنتُمُوهُمۡ

فَلَن

then never
يُضِلَّ
yudilla
He will cause to be lost
أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
a'malahum
their deeds
٤

When you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike them in the neck, and once they are defeated, bind any captives firmly––later you can release them by grace or by ransom––until the toils of war have ended. That [is the way]. God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others. He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing

Translation 1260

47:5
سَيَهۡدِيهِمۡ
sayahdihim
He will guide them
وَيُصۡلِحُ
wayus'lihu

بَالَهُمۡ

٥

He will guide them and put them into a good state

Translation 1260

47:6
وَيُدۡخِلُهُمُ
wayud'khiluhumu
And admit them
ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
al-janata
(to) Paradise
عَرَّفَهَا
arrafaha
He has made it known
لَهُمۡ
lahum
to them
٦

He will admit them into the Garden He has already made known to them

Translation 1260

47:7
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا

O you who believe
ٱلَّذِينَ

O you who believe
ءَامَنُوٓاْ

If

you help
ٱللَّهَ

٧

You who believe! If you help God, He will help you and make you stand firm

Translation 1260

47:8
وَٱلَّذِينَ
wa-alladhina
But those who
كَفَرُواْ
kafaru
disbelieve
فَتَعۡسٗا

destruction (is)
لَّهُمۡ
lahum
for them
وَأَضَلَّ
wa-adalla
and He will cause to be lost
أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
a'malahum
their deeds
٨

As for the disbelievers, how wretched will be their state! God has brought their deeds to nothing

Translation 1260

47:9
ذَٰلِكَ
dhalika
That
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
bi-annahum
(is) because they
كَرِهُواْ
karihu
hate
مَآ
ma
what
أَنزَلَ
anzala
Allah has revealed
ٱللَّهُ
al-lahu
Allah has revealed
فَأَحۡبَطَ
fa-ahbata
so He has made worthless
أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
a'malahum
their deeds
٩

It is because they hate what God has sent down that He has caused their deeds to go to waste

Translation 1260

47:10

[over] them
وَلِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

and for the disbelievers
أَمۡثَٰلُهَا
amthaluha

١٠

Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them met their end? God destroyed them utterly: a similar fate awaits the disbelievers

Translation 1260

47:11
ذَٰلِكَ
dhalika
That

Allah

ٱلَّذِينَ
alladhina
(of) those who
ءَامَنُواْ

al-kafirina
the disbelievers
لَا
la
(there is) no
مَوۡلَىٰ
mawla
protector
لَهُمۡ
lahum

١١

That is because God protects the believers while the disbelievers have no one to protect them
