Section 1 [Saff
61:1] All whatever is in the heavens and all whatever is in the earth
proclaims the Purity of Allah; and He only is the Most Honourable, the Wise. [Saff
61:2] O People who Believe! Why do you preach what you do not practice? [Saff
61:3] How despicable it is in the sight of Allah that you may preach what you
do not practice. [Saff
61:4] Indeed Allah likes those who fight in His cause, positioned in rows, as
if they were an edifice fortified. [Saff
61:5] And remember when Moosa said to his people, “O my people! Why do
you trouble me, whereas you know that I am Allah’s Noble Messenger towards
you?” So when they deviated, Allah deviated their hearts; and Allah does
not guide the sinning people. [Saff
61:6] And remember when Eisa the son of Maryam said, “O Descendants of
Israel! Indeed I am Allah’s Noble Messenger towards you, confirming the
Book Torah which was before me, and heralding glad tidings of the Noble
Messenger who will come after me – his name is Ahmed (the Praised
One)”; so when Ahmed came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This
is an obvious magic.” [Saff
61:7] And who is more unjust than one who fabricates a lie against Allah
whereas he is being called towards Islam? And Allah does not guide the unjust
people. [Saff
61:8] They wish to put out Allah’s light with their mouths, whereas
Allah will perfect His light even if the disbelievers get annoyed. [Saff
61:9] It is He Who has sent His Noble Messenger with guidance and the
religion of truth, in order that He may make it prevail over all other
religions, even if the polytheists get annoyed. Section
2
[Saff
61:10] O People who Believe! Shall I show you a trade that can save you from
the painful punishment? [Saff
61:11] Have faith in Allah and His Noble Messenger, and fight in Allah’s
cause with your wealth and your lives; this is better for you, if you
understand. [Saff
61:12] He will forgive you your sins and admit you into Gardens beneath which
rivers flow, and superb dwellings in everlasting Gardens of Eden; this is the
greatest success. [Saff
61:13] And He will give you another favour, which is dear to you – the
help from Allah and an imminent victory; and O dear Prophet (Mohammed –
peace and blessings be upon him), give glad tidings to the Muslims. [Saff
61:14] O People who Believe! Become the aides of Allah’s religion, the
way Eisa the son of Maryam had said to the disciples, “Who will help me,
inclining towards Allah?” The disciples said, “We are the aides of
Allah’s religion” – so a group among the Descendants of Israel
accepted faith and another group disbelieved; We therefore aided the
believers against their enemies, so they were victorious. |
