Surah At-Tawba

وَلَايُنفِقُونَنَفَقَةًۭصَغِيرَةًۭوَلَاكَبِيرَةًۭوَلَايَقْطَعُونَوَادِيًاإِلَّاكُتِبَلَهُمْلِيَجْزِيَهُمُٱللَّهُأَحْسَنَمَاكَانُوا۟يَعْمَلُونَ

And whenever they spend anything [for the sake of God], be it little or much, and whenever they move on earth [in God's cause] -it is recorded in their favour, and God will grant them the best reward for all that they have been doing.

وَمَاكَانَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَلِيَنفِرُوا۟كَآفَّةًۭفَلَوْلَانَفَرَمِنكُلِّفِرْقَةٍۢمِّنْهُمْطَآئِفَةٌۭلِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا۟فِىٱلدِّينِوَلِيُنذِرُوا۟قَوْمَهُمْإِذَارَجَعُوٓا۟إِلَيْهِمْلَعَلَّهُمْيَحْذَرُونَ

With all this, it is not desirable that all of the believers take the field [in time of war]. From within every group in their midst, some shall refrain from going forth to war, and shall devote themselves [instead] to acquiring a deeper knowledge of the Faith. and [thus be able to] teach their home-coming brethren, so that these [too] might guard themselves against evil.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟قَٰتِلُوا۟ٱلَّذِينَيَلُونَكُممِّنَٱلْكُفَّارِوَلْيَجِدُوا۟فِيكُمْغِلْظَةًۭوَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟أَنَّٱللَّهَمَعَٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

O you who have attained to faith! Fight against those deniers of the truth who are near you, and let them find you adamant; and know that. God is with those who are conscious of Him.

وَإِذَامَآأُنزِلَتْسُورَةٌۭفَمِنْهُممَّنيَقُولُأَيُّكُمْزَادَتْهُهَٰذِهِۦٓإِيمَٰنًۭافَأَمَّاٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟فَزَادَتْهُمْإِيمَٰنًۭاوَهُمْيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

YET WHENEVER a surah [of this divine writ] is bestowed from on high, some of the deniers of the truth are prone to ask, "Which of you has this [message] strengthened in his faith?" Now as for those who have attained to faith, it does strengthen them in their faith, and they rejoice in the glad tiding [which God has given them].

وَأَمَّاٱلَّذِينَفِىقُلُوبِهِممَّرَضٌۭفَزَادَتْهُمْرِجْسًاإِلَىٰرِجْسِهِمْوَمَاتُوا۟وَهُمْكَٰفِرُونَ

But as for those in whose hearts is disease, each new message but adds another [element of] disbelief to the disbelief which they already harbour, and they die while [still] refusing to acknowledge the truth.

أَوَلَايَرَوْنَأَنَّهُمْيُفْتَنُونَفِىكُلِّعَامٍۢمَّرَّةًأَوْمَرَّتَيْنِثُمَّلَايَتُوبُونَوَلَاهُمْيَذَّكَّرُونَ

Are they, then, not aware that they are being tested year-in, year-out? And yet, they do not repent and do not bethink themselves [of God];

وَإِذَامَآأُنزِلَتْسُورَةٌۭنَّظَرَبَعْضُهُمْإِلَىٰبَعْضٍهَلْيَرَىٰكُممِّنْأَحَدٍۢثُمَّٱنصَرَفُوا۟صَرَفَٱللَّهُقُلُوبَهُمبِأَنَّهُمْقَوْمٌۭلَّايَفْقَهُونَ

and whenever a surah is bestowed from on high, they look at one another [and say, as it were], "Is there anyone who can see what is in your hearts?" -and then they turn away. God has turned their hearts away [from the truth] - for they are people who will not grasp it.

لَقَدْجَآءَكُمْرَسُولٌۭمِّنْأَنفُسِكُمْعَزِيزٌعَلَيْهِمَاعَنِتُّمْحَرِيصٌعَلَيْكُمبِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَرَءُوفٌۭرَّحِيمٌۭ

INDEED, there has come unto you [O mankind] an Apostle from among yourselves: heavily weighs -upon him [the thought] that you might suffer [in the life to come]; full of concern for you [is he, and] full of compassion and mercy towards the believers.

فَإِنتَوَلَّوْا۟فَقُلْحَسْبِىَٱللَّهُلَآإِلَٰهَإِلَّاهُوَعَلَيْهِتَوَكَّلْتُوَهُوَرَبُّٱلْعَرْشِٱلْعَظِيمِ

But if those [who are bent on denying the truth] turn away, say: "God is enough for me! There is no- deity save Him. In Him have I placed my trust, for He is the Sustainer, in awesome almightiness enthroned."
