إِنَّمَا Indeed innamā the postponing l-nasīu (is) an increase ziyādatun in fī the disbelief l-kuf'ri are led astray yuḍallu by it bihi those who alladhīna disbelieve kafarū They make it lawful yuḥillūnahu one year ʿāman and make it unlawful wayuḥarrimūnahu (another) year ʿāman to adjust liyuwāṭiū the number ʿiddata which mā Allah has made unlawful ḥarrama Allah has made unlawful l-lahu and making lawful fayuḥillū what mā Allah has made unlawful ḥarrama Allah has made unlawful l-lahu Is made fair-seeming zuyyina to them lahum (the) evil sūu (of) their deeds aʿmālihim And Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma the disbelievers l-kāfirīna
Indeed, the postponing [of restriction within sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led [further] astray. They make it1 lawful one year and unlawful another year to correspond to the number made unlawful by Allāh2 and [thus] make lawful what Allāh has made unlawful. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe yāayyuhā O you who believe alladhīna O you who believe āmanū What mā (is the matter) with you lakum when idhā it is said qīla to you lakumu go forth infirū in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi you cling heavily ithāqaltum to ilā the earth l-arḍi Are you pleased araḍītum with the life bil-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā (rather) than mina the Hereafter l-ākhirati But what famā (is the) enjoyment matāʿu (of) the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā in (comparison to) fī the hereafter l-ākhirati except illā a little qalīlun
O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allāh, you adhere heavily to the earth?1 Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.
إِلَّا If not illā you go forth tanfirū He will punish you yuʿadhib'kum (with) a painful punishment ʿadhāban (with) a painful punishment alīman and will replace you wayastabdil (with) a people qawman other than you ghayrakum and not walā you can harm Him taḍurrūhu (in) anything shayan And Allah wal-lahu (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun
If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allāh is over all things competent.
إِلَّا If not illā you help him tanṣurūhu certainly faqad Allah helped him naṣarahu Allah helped him l-lahu when idh drove him out akhrajahu those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū the second thāniya (of) the two ith'nayni when idh they both humā (were) in fī the cave l-ghāri when idh he said yaqūlu to his companion liṣāḥibihi (Do) not lā grieve taḥzan indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) with us maʿanā Then Allah sent down fa-anzala Then Allah sent down l-lahu His tranquility sakīnatahu upon him ʿalayhi and supported him wa-ayyadahu with forces bijunūdin which you did not see lam which you did not see tarawhā and made wajaʿala (the) word kalimata (of) those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū the lowest l-suf'lā while (the) Word wakalimatu (of) Allah l-lahi it (is) hiya the highest l-ʿul'yā And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Mighty ʿazīzun All-Wise ḥakīmun
If you do not aid him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] - Allāh has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two,1 when they were in the cave and he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allāh is with us." And Allāh sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with soldiers [i.e., angels] you did not see and made the word2 of those who disbelieved the lowest,3 while the word of Allāh4 - that is the highest. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
