اِنَّ ۩٧٧وَجاٰهِدُو
Allah will indeed defend those who have faith. Indeed Allah does not like any ingrate traitor. ﴾38﴿Those who are fought against are permitted [to fight] because they have been wronged, and Allah is indeed able to help them ﴾39﴿—those who were expelled from their homes unjustly, only because they said, ‘Allah is our Lord.’ Had not Allah repulsed the people from one another, ruin would have befallen the monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques in which Allah’s Name is much invoked. Allah will surely help those who help Him. Indeed Allah is all-strong, all-mighty. ﴾40﴿Those who, if We granted them power in the land, will maintain the prayer, give the zakat, bid what is right and forbid what is wrong. And with Allah rests the outcome of all matters. ﴾41﴿If they impugn you, the people of Noah had impugned before them and ‘Ad and Thamud, ﴾42﴿[as well as] the people of Abraham and the people of Lot, ﴾43﴿and the inhabitants of Midian, and Moses was also impugned. But I gave the faithless a respite, then I seized them and how was My rebuttal! ﴾44﴿How many towns We have destroyed when they had been wrongdoers! So they lie fallen on their trellises, their wells neglected and their ruined palaces! ﴾45﴿Have they not travelled through the land so that they may have hearts by which they may exercise their reason, or ears by which they may hear? Indeed, it is not the eyes that turn blind, but it is the hearts in the breasts that turn blind! ﴾46﴿They ask you to hasten the punishment, though Allah will never break His promise. Indeed a day with your Lord is like a thousand years by your reckoning. ﴾47﴿To how many a town did I give respite while it was doing wrong! Then I seized it, and toward Me is the destination. ﴾48﴿Say, ‘O mankind! I am only a manifest warner to you!’ ﴾49﴿As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, for them will be forgiveness and a noble provision. ﴾50﴿But as for those who contend with Our signs, seeking to frustrate [their purpose], they shall be the inmates of hell. ﴾51﴿We did not send any apostle or prophet before you but that when he recited [the scripture] Satan interjected [something] in his recitation. Thereat Allah nullifies whatever Satan has interjected, and then Allah confirms His signs, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise. ﴾52﴿That He may make what Satan has thrown in a test for those in whose hearts is a sickness and those whose hearts have hardened. Indeed the wrongdoers are steeped in extreme defiance. ﴾53﴿[And also for the reason] that those who have been given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, and so they may have faith in it, and their hearts may be humbled before Him. Indeed Allah guides those who have faith to a straight path. ﴾54﴿Those who are faithless persist in their doubt about it, until either the Hour overtakes them suddenly, or they are overtaken by the punishment of an inauspicious day. ﴾55﴿On that day all sovereignty will belong to Allah: He will judge between them; then those who have faith and do righteous deeds will be in gardens of bliss, ﴾56﴿and those who are faithless and deny Our signs—for such there will be a humiliating punishment. ﴾57﴿Those who migrate in the way of Allah and then are slain, or die, Allah will surely provide them with a good provision. Allah is indeed the best of providers. ﴾58﴿He will admit them into an abode they are pleased with. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-forbearing. ﴾59﴿So will it be; and whoever retaliates with the like of what he has been made to suffer, and is aggressed against [again] thereafter, Allah will surely help him. Indeed Allah is all-excusing, all-forgiving. ﴾60﴿So will it be, because Allah makes the night pass into the day and makes the day pass into the night, and because Allah is all-hearing, all-seeing. ﴾61﴿So will it be, because Allah is the Reality, and what they invoke besides Him is nullity, and because Allah is the All-exalted, the All-great. ﴾62﴿Have you not regarded that Allah sends down water from the sky, whereupon the earth turns green? Indeed Allah is all-attentive, all-aware. ﴾63﴿To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, Indeed Allah is the All-sufficient, the All-laudable. ﴾64﴿Have you not regarded that Allah has disposed for you [r benefit] whatever there is in the earth, and [that] the ships sail at sea by His command, and He sustains the sky lest it should fall on the earth, excepting [when it does so] by His leave? Indeed Allah is most kind and merciful to mankind. ﴾65﴿It is He who gave you life then He makes you die, then He brings you to life. Indeed man is very ungrateful. ﴾66﴿For every nation We have appointed rites [of worship] which they observe; so let them not dispute with you concerning your religion, and invite to your Lord. Indeed, you are on a straight guidance. ﴾67﴿But if they dispute with you, say, ‘Allah knows best what you are doing. ﴾68﴿Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection concerning that about which you used to differ. ﴾69﴿Do you not know that Allah knows whatever there is in the heaven and the earth? All that is in a Book. That is indeed easy for Allah.’ ﴾70﴿They worship besides Allah that for which He has not sent down any authority, and of which they have no knowledge. The wrongdoers will have no helper. ﴾71﴿When Our manifest signs are recited to them, you perceive denial on the faces of the faithless: they would almost pounce upon those who recite Our signs to them. Say, ‘Shall I inform you about something worse than that? The Fire which Allah has promised the faithless, and it is an evil destination.’ ﴾72﴿O people! Listen to a parable that is being drawn: Indeed those whom you invoke besides Allah will never create [even] a fly even if they all rallied to do so! And if a fly should take away something from them, they can not recover that from it. Feeble is the seeker and the sought! ﴾73﴿They do not regard Allah with the regard due to Him. Indeed Allah is all-strong, all-mighty. ﴾74﴿Allah chooses messengers from angels and from mankind. Indeed Allah is all-hearing, all-seeing. ﴾75﴿He knows that which is before them and that which is behind them, and to Allah all matters are returned. ﴾76﴿O you who have faith! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, so that you may be felicitous. ﴾77﴿And wage jihad for the sake of Allah, a jihad which is worthy of Him. He has chosen you and has not placed for you any obstacle in the religion, the faith of your father, Abraham. He named you ‘Muslims’ before, and in this, so that the Apostle may be a witness to you, and that you may be witnesses to mankind. So maintain the prayer, give the zakat, and hold fast to Allah. He is your master—an excellent master and an excellent helper. ﴾78﴿
