سَبَّحَ Glorifies sabbaḥa Allah lillahi whatever mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and whatever wamā (is) in fī the earth l-arḍi And He wahuwa (is) the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth exalts Allāh,1 and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā (you) who alladhīna believe āmanū Why lima (do) you say taqūlūna what mā not lā you do tafʿalūna
O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?
كَبُرَ Great is kabura hatred maqtan with ʿinda Allah l-lahi that an you say taqūlū what mā not lā you do tafʿalūna
Greatly hateful in the sight of Allāh is that you say what you do not do.
إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha loves yuḥibbu those who alladhīna fight yuqātilūna in fī His Way sabīlihi (in) a row ṣaffan as if they ka-annahum (were) a structure bun'yānun joined firmly marṣūṣun
Indeed, Allāh loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla Musa mūsā to his people liqawmihi O my people yāqawmi Why lima do you hurt me tu'dhūnanī while certainly waqad you know taʿlamūna that I am annī (the) Messenger rasūlu (of) Allah l-lahi to you ilaykum Then when falammā they deviated zāghū (was caused to) deviate azāgha (by) Allah l-lahu their hearts qulūbahum And Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma the defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqīna
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?" And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla Isa ʿīsā son ub'nu (of) Maryam maryama O Children yābanī (of) Israel is'rāīla Indeed, I am innī (the) Messenger rasūlu (of) Allah l-lahi to you ilaykum confirming muṣaddiqan that which limā (was) between bayna my hands yadayya of mina the Taurat l-tawrāti and bringing glad tidings wamubashiran (of) a Messenger birasūlin to come yatī from min after me baʿdī whose name (will be) us'muhu Ahmad aḥmadu But when falammā he came to them jāahum with clear proofs bil-bayināti they said qālū This hādhā (is) a magic siḥ'run clear mubīnun
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allāh to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Aḥmad."1 But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."2
وَمَنْ And who waman (is) more wrong aẓlamu than (one) who mimmani invents if'tarā upon ʿalā Allah l-lahi the lie l-kadhiba while he wahuwa is invited yud'ʿā to ilā Islam l-is'lāmi And Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma [the] wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh untruth while he is being invited to Islām. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
يُرِيدُونَ They intend yurīdūna to put out liyuṭ'fiū (the) light nūra (of) Allah l-lahi with their mouths bi-afwāhihim but Allah wal-lahu will perfect mutimmu His Light nūrihi although walaw dislike kariha the disbelievers l-kāfirūna
They want to extinguish the light of Allāh with their mouths, but Allāh will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allāh dislike it.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā (you) who alladhīna believe āmanū Shall hal I guide you adullukum to ʿalā a transaction tijāratin (that) will save you tunjīkum from min a punishment ʿadhābin painful alīmin
O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment?
تُؤْمِنُونَ Believe tu'minūna in Allah bil-lahi and His Messenger warasūlihi and strive watujāhidūna in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi with your wealth bi-amwālikum and your lives wa-anfusikum That dhālikum (is) better khayrun for you lakum if in you kuntum know taʿlamūna
[It is that] you believe in Allāh and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allāh with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you only knew.
يَغْفِرْ He will forgive yaghfir for you lakum your sins dhunūbakum and admit you wayud'khil'kum (in) Gardens jannātin flow tajrī from min underneath it taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru and dwellings wamasākina pleasant ṭayyibatan in fī Gardens jannāti (of) Eternity ʿadnin That dhālika (is) the success l-fawzu the great l-ʿaẓīmu
He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment.
وَأُخْرَىٰ And another wa-ukh'rā that you love tuḥibbūnahā a help naṣrun from mina Allah l-lahi and a victory wafatḥun near qarībun and give glad tidings wabashiri (to) the believers l-mu'minīna
And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allāh and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe āmanū Be kūnū helpers anṣāra (of) Allah l-lahi as kamā said qāla Isa ʿīsā son ub'nu (of) Maryam maryama to the disciples lil'ḥawāriyyīna Who man (are) my helpers anṣārī for ilā Allah l-lahi Said qāla the disciples l-ḥawāriyūna We naḥnu (are) the helpers anṣāru (of) Allah l-lahi Then believed faāmanat a group ṭāifatun of min Children banī (of) Israel is'rāīla and disbelieved wakafarat a group ṭāifatun So We supported fa-ayyadnā those who alladhīna believed āmanū against ʿalā their enemy ʿaduwwihim and they became fa-aṣbaḥū dominant ẓāhirīna
O you who have believed, be supporters of Allāh, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allāh?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allāh." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.
