أُذِنَ Permission is given udhina to those who lilladhīna are being fought yuqātalūna because they bi-annahum were wronged ẓulimū And indeed wa-inna Allah l-laha for ʿalā their victory naṣrihim (is) surely Able laqadīrun
Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought,1 because they were wronged. And indeed, Allāh is competent to give them victory.
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna have been evicted ukh'rijū from min their homes diyārihim without bighayri right ḥaqqin except illā that an they said yaqūlū Our Lord rabbunā (is) Allah l-lahu And if not walawlā Allah checks dafʿu Allah checks l-lahi the people l-nāsa some of them baʿḍahum by others bibaʿḍin surely (would) have been demolished lahuddimat monasteries ṣawāmiʿu and churches wabiyaʿun and synagogues waṣalawātun and masajid wamasājidu is mentioned yudh'karu in it fīhā (the) name of Allah us'mu (the) name of Allah l-lahi much kathīran And surely Allah will help walayanṣuranna And surely Allah will help l-lahu (those) who man help Him yanṣuruhu Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) surely All-Strong laqawiyyun All-Mighty ʿazīzun
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allāh." And were it not that Allāh checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allāh is much mentioned [i.e., praised]. And Allāh will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna if in We establish them makkannāhum in fī the land l-arḍi they establish aqāmū the prayer l-ṣalata and they give waātawū zakah l-zakata and they enjoin wa-amarū the right bil-maʿrūfi and forbid wanahaw from ʿani the wrong l-munkari And for Allah walillahi (is the) end ʿāqibatu (of) the matters l-umūri
[And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakāh and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allāh belongs the outcome of [all] matters.

And if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - so, before them, did the people of Noah and ʿAad and Thamūd deny [their prophets],
وَقَوْمُ And (the) people waqawmu (of) Ibrahim ib'rāhīma and (the) people waqawmu (of) Lut lūṭin
And the people of Abraham and the people of Lot.
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ And the inhabitants wa-aṣḥābu (of) Madyan madyana And Musa was denied wakudhiba And Musa was denied mūsā so I granted respite fa-amlaytu to the disbelievers lil'kāfirīna then thumma I seized them akhadhtuhum and how fakayfa was kāna My punishment nakīri
And the inhabitants of Madyan. And Moses was denied, so I prolonged enjoyment for the disbelievers; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My reproach.
فَكَأَيِّن And how many faka-ayyin of min a township qaryatin We have destroyed it ahlaknāhā while it wahiya was doing wrong ẓālimatun so it fahiya fell khāwiyatun on ʿalā its roofs ʿurūshihā and well wabi'rin abandoned muʿaṭṭalatin and castle waqaṣrin lofty mashīdin
And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin1 - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.2

So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.
