| Surah As-Saff | |||
| In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allâh. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. | ||
| 2 | O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? | ||
| 3 | Most hateful it is with Allâh that you say that which you do not do. | ||
| 4 | Verily, Allâh loves those who fight in His Cause in rows ( ranks ) as if they were a solid structure. | ||
| 5 | And ( remember ) when Mûsa ( Moses ) said to his people: " O my people! Why do you hurt me while you know certainly that I am the Messenger of Allâh to you? So when they turned away ( from the Path of Allâh ), Allâh turned their hearts away ( from the Right Path ). And Allâh guides not the people who are Fâsiqûn ( rebellious, disobedient to Allâh ). | ||
| 6 | And ( remember ) when 'Iesa ( Jesus ), son of Maryam ( Mary ), said: " O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allâh unto you confirming the Taurât [ ( Torah ) which came ] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed. But when he ( Ahmed i. e. Muhammad ) came to them with clear proofs, they said: " This is plain magic. " | ||
| 7 | And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allâh, while he is being invited to Islâm? And Allâh guides not the people who are Zâlimûn ( polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers ) folk. | ||
| 8 | They intend to put out the Light of Allâh ( i. e. the religion of Islâm, this Qur'ân, and Prophet Muhammad ) with their mouths. But Allâh will complete His Light even though the disbelievers hate ( it ). | ||
| 9 | He it is Who has sent His Messenger ( Muhammad ) with guidance and the religion of truth ( Islâmic Monotheism ) to make it victorious over all ( other ) religions even though the Mushrikûn ( polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammed ) hate ( it ). | ||
| 10 | O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment. | ||
| 11 | That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! | ||
| 12 | ( If you do so ) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of 'Adn Eternity [ 'Adn ( Edn ) Paradise ], that is indeed the great success. | ||
| 13 | And also ( He will give you ) another ( blessing ) which you love, help from Allâh ( against your enemies ) and a near victory. And give glad tidings ( O Muhammad ) to the believers. | ||
| 14 | O you who believe! Be you helpers ( in the Cause ) of Allâh as said 'Iesa ( Jesus ), son of Maryam ( Mary ), to AlHawârîûn ( the disciples ): " Who are my helpers ( in the Cause ) of Allâh? " AlHawârîeen ( the disciples ) said: " We are Allâh's helpers " ( i. e. we will strive in His Cause! ). Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the uppermost. | ||
