Al-Hashr
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All that is in the heavens and all
that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, and He is the
Mighty, the Wise. (1)
He it is Who hath caused those of the
People of the Scripture who disbelieved to go forth from
their homes unto the first exile. Ye deemed not that
they would go forth, while they deemed that their
strongholds would protect them from Allah. But Allah
reached them from a place whereof they recked not, and
cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their
houses with their own hands and the hands of the
believers. So learn a lesson, O ye who have eyes! (2)
And if Allah had not decreed migration
for them, He verily would have punished them in the
world, and theirs in the Hereafter is this punishment of
the Fire. (3)
That is because they were opposed to
Allah and His messenger; and whoso is opposed to Allah,
(for him) verily Allah is stern in reprisal. (4)
Whatsoever palm-trees ye cut down or
left standing on their roots, it was by Allah's leave,
in order that He might confound the evil-livers. (5)
And that which Allah gave as spoil
unto His messenger from them, ye urged not any horse or
riding-camel for the sake thereof, but Allah giveth His
messenger lordship over whom He will. Allah is Able to
do all things. (6)
That which Allah giveth as spoil unto
His messenger from the people of the townships, it is
for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and
the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it
become not a commodity between the rich among you. And
whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And
whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep
your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal. (7)
And (it is) for the poor fugitives who
have been driven out from their homes and their
belongings, who seek bounty from Allah and help Allah
and His messenger. They are the loyal. (8)
Those who entered the city and the
faith before them love those who flee unto them for
refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which
hath been given them, but prefer (the fugitives) above
themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is
saved from his own avarice - such are they who are
successful. (9)
And those who came (into the faith)
after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren
who were before us in the faith, and place not in our
hearts any rancour toward those who believe. Our Lord!
Thou art Full of Pity, Merciful. (10)
Hast thou not observed those who are
hypocrites, (how) they tell their brethren who
disbelieve among the People of the Scripture: If ye are
driven out, we surely will go out with you, and we will
never obey anyone against you, and if ye are attacked we
verily will help you. And Allah beareth witness that
they verily are liars. (11)
(For) indeed if they are driven out
they go not out with them, and indeed if they are
attacked they help them not, and indeed if they had
helped them they would have turned and fled, and then
they would not have been victorious. (12)
Ye are more awful as a fear in their
bosoms than Allah. That is because they are a folk who
understand not. (13)
They will not fight against you in a
body save in fortified villages or from behind walls.
Their adversity among themselves is very great. Ye think
of them as a whole whereas their hearts are divers. That
is because they are a folk who have no sense. (14)
On the likeness of those (who
suffered) a short time before them, they taste the
ill-effects of their own conduct, and theirs is painful
punishment. (15)
(And the hypocrites are) on the
likeness of the devil when he telleth man to disbelieve,
then, when he disbelieveth saith: Lo! I am quit of thee.
Lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. (16)
And the consequence for both will be
that they are in the Fire, therein abiding. Such is the
reward of evil-doers. (17)
O ye who believe! Observe your duty
to Allah. And let every soul look to that which it
sendeth on before for the morrow. And observe your duty
to Allah. Lo! Allah is Aware of what ye do. (18)
And be not ye as those who forgot
Allah, therefor He caused them to forget their souls.
Such are the evil-doers. (19)
Not equal are the owners of the Fire
and the owners of the Garden. The owners of the Garden,
they are the victorious. (20)
If We had caused this Qur'an to
descend upon a mountain, thou (O Muhammad) verily hadst
seen it humbled, rent asunder by the fear of Allah. Such
similitudes coin We for mankind that haply they may
reflect. (21)
He is Allah, than Whom there is no
other God, the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible.
He is the Beneficent, Merciful. (22)
He is Allah, than Whom there is no
other God, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the
Keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Majestic, the
Compeller, the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that
they ascribe as partner (unto Him). (23)
He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper
out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful
names. All that is in the heavens and the earth
glorifieth Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. (24)
