لَّا Not lā (are) equal yastawī the ones who sit l-qāʿidūna among mina the believers l-mu'minīna other than ghayru the ones (who are) ulī [the] disabled l-ḍarari and the ones who strive wal-mujāhidūna in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi with their wealth bi-amwālihim and their lives wa-anfusihim Preferred faḍḍala (has) Allah l-lahu the ones who strive l-mujāhidīna with their wealth bi-amwālihim and their lives wa-anfusihim to ʿalā the ones who sit l-qāʿidīna (in) rank darajatan And (to) all wakullan promised waʿada (has) Allah l-lahu the best l-ḥus'nā preferred wafaḍḍala (has) Allah l-lahu the ones who strive l-mujāhidīna over ʿalā the ones who sit l-qāʿidīna (with) a reward ajran great ʿaẓīman
Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujāhideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of Allāh with their wealth and their lives. Allāh has preferred the mujāhideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain [behind], by degrees. And to all [i.e., both] Allāh has promised the best [reward]. But Allāh has preferred the mujāhideen over those who remain [behind] with a great reward -
دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ Ranks darajātin from Him min'hu and forgiveness wamaghfiratan and mercy waraḥmatan And is wakāna Allah l-lahu Oft-Forgiving ghafūran Most Merciful raḥīman
Degrees [of high position] from Him and forgiveness and mercy. And Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
إِنَّ Indeed inna those whom alladhīna take them (in death) tawaffāhumu the Angels l-malāikatu (while) they (were) wronging ẓālimī themselves anfusihim they say qālū In what (condition) fīma were you kuntum They said qālū We were kunnā oppressed mus'taḍʿafīna in fī the earth l-arḍi They said qālū Not alam was takun (the) earth arḍu (of) Allah l-lahi spacious (enough) wāsiʿatan so that you (could) emigrate fatuhājirū in it fīhā Then those fa-ulāika (will have) their abode mawāhum (in) Hell jahannamu and it is an evil wasāat destination maṣīran
Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves1 - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." They [the angels] will say, "Was not the earth of Allāh spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination.
إِلَّا Except illā the oppressed l-mus'taḍʿafīna among mina the men l-rijāli and the women wal-nisāi and the children wal-wil'dāni (who) not lā are able to yastaṭīʿūna plan ḥīlatan and not walā they are directed yahtadūna (to) a way sabīlan
Except for the oppressed among men, women, and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way1 -
فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Then those fa-ulāika may be ʿasā Allah l-lahu will an pardon yaʿfuwa [on] them ʿanhum and is wakāna Allah l-lahu Oft-Pardoning ʿafuwwan Oft-Forgiving ghafūran
For those it is expected that Allāh will pardon them, and Allāh is ever Pardoning1 and Forgiving.

And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allāh will find on the earth many [alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allāh and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his reward has already become incumbent upon Allāh. And Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā you travel ḍarabtum in fī the earth l-arḍi then not falaysa upon you ʿalaykum (is) any blame junāḥun that an you shorten taqṣurū [of] mina the prayer l-ṣalati if in you fear khif'tum that an (may) harm you yaftinakumu those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū Indeed inna the disbelievers l-kāfirīna are kānū for you lakum an enemy ʿaduwwan open mubīnan
And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer,1 [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you.2 Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.
