Arabic: وَأَذَانٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الأَكْبَرِ أَنَّ اللّهَ بَرِيءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ فَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِي اللّهِ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Arabic: إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ عَاهَدتُّم مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنقُصُوكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يُظَاهِرُواْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدًا فَأَتِمُّواْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ إِلَى مُدَّتِهِمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ

Yusuf Ali: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie inwait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, andestablish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the wayfor them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Arabic: فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُاْ الزَّكَاةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Pickthal: How (can there be any treaty for the others) when, if they have the upper hand of you, they regard not pact nor honour in respect ofyou? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. Andmost of them are wrongdoers.

Arabic: كَيْفَ وَإِن يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ لاَ يَرْقُبُواْ فِيكُمْ إِلاًّ وَلاَ ذِمَّةً يُرْضُونَكُم بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَأْبَى قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Yusuf Ali: O ye who believe! there are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in Falsehood devour the substance of men and hinder (them)from the way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spendit not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty-

Ayah: 34
Arabic: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الأَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلاَ يُنفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Ayah: 35
Arabic: يَوْمَ يُحْمَى عَلَيْهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ هَـذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ

So wrong notyourselves in them. And wage war on all of the idolaters as they are wagingwar on all of you. And know that Allah is with those who keep their duty(unto Him).
Shakir: Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah's ordinance since the day when He created the heavensand the earth, of these four being sacred; that is the rightreckoning; therefore be not unjust to yourselves regarding them,and fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).

Ayah: 36
Arabic: إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَات وَالأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلاَ تَظْلِمُواْ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَقَاتِلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةً وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
Pickthal: Postponement (of a sacred month) is only an excess of disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one yearand forbid it (another) year, that they may make up the number of themonths which Allah hath hallowed, so that they allow that which Allah hathforbidden. The evil of their deeds is made fairseeming unto them. Allahguideth not the disbelieving folk.
Shakir: Postponing (of the sacred month) is only an addition in unbelief, wherewith those who disbelieve are led astray, violatingit one year and keeping it sacred another, that they may agree inthe number (of months) that Allah has made sacred, and thusviolate what Allah has made sacred; the evil of their doings ismade fairseeming to them; and Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.
Yusuf Ali: Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make itlawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the numberof months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil oftheir course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who rejectFaith.

Ayah: 37
Arabic: إِنَّمَا النَّسِيءُ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُحِلِّونَهُ عَامًا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا لِّيُوَاطِؤُواْ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّهُ فَيُحِلُّواْ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّهُ زُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Pickthal: O ye who believe! What aileth you that when it is said unto you: Go forth in the way of Allah, ye are bowed down to the ground withheaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than in theHereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is but little in theHereafter.
Shakir: O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it is said to you: Go forth in Allah's way, you should incline heavilyto earth; are you contented with this world's life instead of thehereafter? But the provision of this world's life compared withthe hereafter is but little.
Yusuf Ali: O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth?Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is thecomfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.

Ayah: 38
Arabic: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ

Ayah: 39
Arabic: إِلاَّ تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلاَ تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئًا وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Pickthal: If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in thecave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. ThenAllah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported himwith hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved thenethermost, while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah isMighty, Wise.
Shakir: If you will not aid him, Allah certainly aided him when those who disbelieved expelled him, he being the second of thetwo, when they were both in the cave, when he said to hiscompanion: Grieve not, surely Allah is with us. So Allah sentdown His tranquillity upon him and strengthened him with hostswhich you did not see, and made lowest the word of those whodisbelieved; and the word of Allah, that is the highest; and Allahis Mighty, Wise.
Yusuf Ali: If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more thanone companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion,"Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him,and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to thedepths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to theheights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.

Ayah: 40
Arabic: إِلاَّ تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لاَ تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنزَلَ اللّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ السُّفْلَى وَكَلِمَةُ اللّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Pickthal: Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye butknew.

Pickthal: Had it been a near adventure and an easy journey they had followed thee, but the distance seemed too far for them. Yet will theyswear by Allah (saying): If we had been able we would surely have set outwith you. They destroy their souls, and Allah knoweth that they verily areliars.
Shakir: Had it been a near advantage and a short journey, they would certainly have followed you, but the tedious journey wastoo long for them; and they swear by Allah: If we had been able,we would certainly have gone forth with you; they cause theirown souls to perish, and Allah knows that they are most surely
Yusuf Ali: If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distancewas long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah, "If weonly could, we should certainly have come out with you": They would destroytheir own souls; for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying.

Ayah: 42
Arabic: لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيبًا وَسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لاَّتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَـكِن بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ يُهْلِكُونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَاللّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ
Pickthal: Allah forgive thee (O Muhammad)! Wherefor didst thou grant them leave ere those who told the truth were manifest to thee and thoudidst know the liars?
Shakir: Allah pardon you! Why did you give them leave until those who spoke the truth had become manifest to you and youhad known the liars?

Ayah: 43

Pickthal: Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask no leave of thee lest they should strive with their wealth and their lives. Allah isAware of those who keep their duty (unto Him).

Pickthal: And if they had wished to go forth they would assuredly have made ready some equipment, but Allah was averse to their being sent forthand held them back and it was said (unto them): Sit ye with the sedentary!

Yusuf Ali: If they had intended to come out, they would certainly have made some preparation therefor; but Allah was averse to their being sentforth; so He made them lag behind, and they were told, "Sit ye among thosewho sit (inactive)."

Arabic: وَلَوْ أَرَادُواْ الْخُرُوجَ لأَعَدُّواْ لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلَـكِن كَرِهَ اللّهُ انبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ اقْعُدُواْ مَعَ الْقَاعِدِينَ

Yusuf Ali: If they had come out with you, they would not have added to your (strength) but only (made for) disorder, hurrying to and fro in yourmidst and sowing sedition among you, and there would have been some amongyou who would have listened to them. But Allah knoweth well those who dowrong.

Ayah: 47
Arabic: لَوْ خَرَجُواْ فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمْ إِلاَّ خَبَالاً ولأَوْضَعُواْ خِلاَلَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ

Lo! Allah loseth not the wages of thegood.
Shakir: It did not beseem the people of Medina and those round about them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind theMessenger of Allah, nor should they desire (anything) for themselves in preference to him; this is because there afflicts them notthirst or fatigue or hunger in Allah's way, nor do they tread apath which enrages the unbelievers, nor do they attain from theenemy what they attain, but a good work is written down tothem on account of it; surely Allah does not waste the reward ofthe doers of good;
