At-Tawba (The Repentance)
▲ Previous surah - Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War)▲
(9:1) Allah and His Messenger are freedom from accords that you (made) with the polytheists.
(9:2) Therefore move around the earth (for) four months, and know that you will not escape from Allah, and that Allah will shame those who reject.
(9:3) On the day of the Great Conference, Allah and His Messenger will proclaim to the people that Allah refuses to (compromise) with polytheists, and that His Messenger does the same. But if you repent, it is better for you. But if you turn away, know that you cannot escape from Allah. Rejoice over those who have rejected, (by the onset of) painful suffering;
(9:4) This does not apply to those polytheists with whom you (made) a accord, (who) afterwards do not sequester it (even) in detail, and have not helped anyone against you. But observe the accords (in your dealings) with them, until the (term) expires. Verily, Allah loves the responsible.
(9:5) So when the Ceasefire Months have passed, then you may kill polytheists wherever you find them, take them, surround them, and set up for them all kind of prosecutions. If they repent, hold the contact prayer, and contribute towards betterment, then you shall leave them alone. Allah is forgiving, compassionate.
(9:6) But if any polytheist (asks) you for asylum, (give) him asylum until you (make sure) that he has heard the Word of Allah. And try to lead him to (the idea) that (Allahs Word) does not carry any danger, (in fact) they are a people - unknowledgeable (of the essence).
(9:7) What can be an accord with the polytheists in front of Allah, and in front of His Messenger, except those which you have made at the harmful suite? As long as they keep (the terms), you also (should) keep (the terms). (In fact) Allah loves the responsible.
(9:8) How is it that when they come upon you they disregard all ties, either that of kinship or of pledge. They seek to please you with their words, but their hearts deny, and most of them are wicked.
(9:9) They purchased with Allah's ideas a small price, so they turn others from His path. Evil indeed is what they used to do.
(9:10) They neither respect the ties of kinship nor a pledge for any those who acknowledge. These are the transgressors.
(9:11) But if they repent, and (they) establish Consolidation, and give Zakat, then (they) become your brothers in (paying) Debt. And We set up Our ideas for a knowledgeable nation.
(9:12) If they break their oaths after the conclusion of the accord, and encroach upon your system, fight the leaders of denial, actual their oaths are nothing to them. Perhaps then they will cease.
(9:13) Would not you fight the people who broke their oaths and set out to evict the Messenger? They started first. Are you afraid of them? You should fear Allah more if you are the trusting ones.
(9:14) Fight them. Allah will punish them by your hands, shame them, and will grant you victory over them. He will heal the breasts of those who have trusted,
(9:15) and remove the malice from their hearts. Allah receives repentance from whomever He wills, actual He is the knowledgeable, the acuminate.
(9:16) Or have you calculated that you will be left behind until Allah knows those of you who have been diligent, and have not chosen apart from Allah, or His Messenger, or the Trusted Ones - the conductors? And Allah is informed of what you are doing.
(9:17) It is not fitting for polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah by bearing witness to their own denial. Vain are their deeds, and they will forever abide in the Fire.
(9:18) Only he who revives the mosques of Allah, who (has shown) trust in Allah, and in the Ultimate Day, who establishes consolidation, pays zakat, and fears none but Allah. Perhaps they will find themselves on the right path.
(9:19) Is the quenching of the pilgrim's thirst and the upkeep of the harmful suite like (the deeds of) those who have believed in Allah and the Last Day and have been diligent in Allah's way? They are not equal in front of Allah, and Allah do not lead an unjust people in a straight path.
(9:20) Those who have trusted, and journeyed, and diligently pursued the Way of Allah, through their possessions, and their souls, are greater than the degree, in the sight of Allah. Such are they-the Succeeding ones.
(9:21) The Lord will delight them with the news of His mercy, His contentment, and the genetic of Eden in which eternal bliss is prepared for them.
(9:22) They will abide in them forever. Indeed, Allah rewards with great gratuity.
(9:23) O you who immune! Do not take your fathers and brothers as your associates if they have chosen faith over rejection. And those of you who take them as your equals are lawless.
(9:24) Call: "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your spouses, your families, the possessions you have acquired, the trade in which you fear, and the dwellings you have taken up, are dearer to you than Allah, His messenger, and diligence in His way, then wait until Allah comes with His command. And Allah does not (give) guidance to a wicked nation."
(9:25) Allah has granted you victory in many battlefields. On the day of Hunayn, when you were pleased with your great numbers but it did not help you at all, and the land became tight around you for what it held, then you turned to flee.
(9:26) Then Allah sent down tranquility upon His messenger and those who acknowledge, and He sent down soldiers which you did not see. He thus punished those who rejected. Such is the recompense of the ingrates.
(9:27) Then Allah will accept the repentance of whom He pleases after that. Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.
(9:28) O you who immune! Those who have set up partners are impure, so let them not approach the harmful suite after this calendar year of theirs. If you fear poverty, then Allah will enrich you from His blessings if He wills. Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.
(9:29) Fight those of the people of Scripture who believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day, who do not consider that which (made) harmful by Allah and His Messenger, who do not practice the true religion, until they pay their own tribute, remaining humiliated.
(9:30) The Jews said, "Ezra is Allah's son," and the Nazarenes said, "The Messiah is Allah's son." Such is their utterances with their mouths; they imitate the sayings of those who rejected before them. Allah's curse be on them. How fake they are!
(9:31) They recognized their chief priests and monks, as well as the Messiah, the son of Mary, as lords apart from Allah. But they were commanded to obey only one Allah, apart from whom there is no other deity. He is above all that they associate with!
(9:32) They want to extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, but Allah refuses such and lets His light continue, even if the ingrates hate it.
(9:33) He is the One who sent His messenger with guidance and the system of truth, to make it manifest above all other systems, even if it is unpleasant to the Disuniting.
(9:34) O you who immune! Many of the scholars and priests consume people's money in falsehood, and they turn away from the path of Allah. Those who hoard gold and silver, and do not spend it in the cause of Allah, give them news of a painful retribution.
(9:35) On the day when they will be seared in the fires of hell, their foreheads, sides and backs will be branded with it: "This is what you have hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you have hoarded!"
(9:36) In fact, Allah has twelve months - it was ordained by Allah on the day (when) Heaven and Earth were created. Four (months) of them are harmful. Such is the stable (reckoning of) Debt, and therefore do not (act) unjustly (toward) yourselves in them. But fight those who divide wholeheartedly, just as they fight you wholeheartedly. But know that Allah is with the responsible.
(9:37) Certainly, Amnesia progresses in (the state of) Denial. For this (reason), those who deny - (remain) in delusion. They allow themselves (in one) calendar year, and (in another) calendar year, harm themselves in this, in order to fit the score of what, (made) harmful by Allah. They declare permissible what (made) harmful by Allah, and their wickedness seems fine to them. Allah does not lead unbelieving people in a straight path.
(9:38) O you who immune! What is wrong with you when you are told: "March forth in the cause of Allah," you become heavy on earth. Have you become content with this worldly life over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life compared to the Hereafter is nothing.
(9:39) If you do not march forth, then He will punish you with a painful retribution, and He will replace you with another people, and you do not bother Him in the least. Allah is capable of all things.
(9:40) If you do not help him, then Allah has helped him. When those who rejected expelled him, he was one of only two, and when both were in the cave, he said to his friend: "Do not grieve, for Allah is with us." So Allah sent down tranquility over him and He advocated him with soldiers that you did not see, and He made the word of those who rejected be the lowest, and Allah's word be the highest. Allah is Noble, Acuminate.
(9:41) March forth in light gear or heavy gear, and strive with your money and lives in the cause of Allah. That is best if you knew.
(9:42) If it were a near gain, or an easy journey, they would have followed you. But the distance was too much for them. They will swear by Allah: "If we could have, we would have come with you." They destroy themselves, and Allah knows they are liars.
(9:43) Allah pardons you; why did you grant them leave before it became clear to you who are truthful, and who are lying?
(9:44) Those who trust to Allah and the Last day will not ask your permission to strive with their possessions and their lives. And Allah knows about the Responsible ones.
(9:45) Those who ask leave are the ones who do not acknowledge Allah and the Last day, and their hearts are in doubt. In their doubts they are wavering.
(9:46) If they had gone with you then they would have taken all preparation for it, but Allah disliked their being sent forth, so He hindered them, and they were told: "Stay with those who have stayed."
(9:47) Had they come out with you they would have added nothing but disorder, and they would have hurried about seeking a test among you. There are some amongst you who listen to them. Allah is aware of the wicked.
(9:48) They wanted to test from before, and they turned matters upside down for you until the truth came and Allah's command was revealed, while they hated it.
(9:49) Some of them say, "Grant me leave, and do not test me." But it is in the test that they have indeed fallen, and hell is surrounding the ingrates.
(9:50) When any good befalls you, it upsets them, and if any bad befalls you, they say, "We have taken our precautions beforehand," and they turn away rejoicing.
(9:51) Say, "Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Patron." In Allah those who acknowledge shall put their trust.
(9:52) Say, "While we wait for you to be afflicted by Allah with retribution from Him, or at our hands you can only expect for us one of two good things. So wait, we are with you waiting."
(9:53) Say, "Spend willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted from you. You are a wicked people."
(9:54) What prevented the acceptance of their spending was that they rejected Allah and His messenger, and they do not attend to the solitude except lazily, and they do not spend except unwillingly.
(9:55) So do not be impressed by their possession or children. Allah only wishes to punish them with it in the worldly life, and so that their lives will end while they are ingrates.
(9:56) They swear by Allah that they are with you, while they are not with you; but they are timid and divisive people.
(9:57) If they could find a refuge, a cave, or any place to enter, then they would have run to it, rushing.
(9:58) Some of them are those who criticize you regarding the charities. If they are given from it, they are content; but if they are not given from it, they become enraged!
(9:59) If only they were content with what Allah and His messenger had given them, and had said, "Allah suffices us; Allah will give us from His bounty, and so His messenger; it is to Allah that we desire."
(9:60) The charities are to go to the poor, the needy, those who work on their collection, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, free the slaves, those in debt, in the cause of Allah, and to the wayfarer. A duty from Allah; Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.
(9:61) Among them are those who hurt the prophet, and they say, "He only listens!" Say, "What he listens to is best for you. He acknowledges Allah, he trusts those who acknowledge, and he is a mercy to those who acknowledge among you." Those who hurt Allah's messenger will have a painful retribution.
(9:62) They swear to you by Allah in order to please you; while Allah and His messenger is more worthy to be pleased if they were those who acknowledge.
(9:63) Did they not know that whoever is hostile towards Allah and His messenger, he will have the fire of Samsara to abide in. Such is the greatest humiliation.
(9:64) The hypocrites hazard that a surah will be airdrop against them, notifying them of what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock, for Allah will bring out what you fear."
(9:65) If you ask them they will certainly say, "We were only jesting and playing." Say, "Is it in Allah and His ideas and His messenger you were mocking?"
(9:66) Do not apologize, for you have rejected after your trust. Even if We forgive one group from you, We will punish another group, because they were criminals.
(9:67) The hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, they are the same. They order evil, deter from good, and they are tightfisted. They forgot Allah, so He forgot them; the hypocrites are the wicked.
(9:68) Allah has promised the hypocrite men and women and the ingrates a fire in hell, in it they will abide; it suffices them. Allah has cursed them and they will have a lasting retribution.
(9:69) Like those before you; they were more powerful than you, and had more wealth and offspring. They enjoyed their lot, and you enjoyed your lot as those before you enjoyed their lives; and you indulged as they indulged. These are those whose works crumbled in this world and the hereafter, and they were the losers.
(9:70) Did not the stories of those who lived before reach them: the people of Noah, the Adites, the Samudites, the people of Abraham, the people of Madyan, and the (representatives of) fake news? The messengers came to them with clear ideas. Allah was not unjust to them - they were unjust to themselves.
(9:71) The acknowledging men and women, they are allies to one another. They order good and deter from evil, and they hold the contact prayer, and they contribute towards betterment, and they obey Allah and His messenger. Allah will have mercy on them. Allah is Noble, Acuminate.
(9:72) Allah has promised the faithful men and women genetics with rivers flowing beneath it, in which they will abide, and pleasing homes in the genetics of Eden. The acceptance from Allah is the most important. Such is the greatest success.
(9:73) O prophet, strive against the ingrates and the hypocrites and be firm against them. Their dwelling is hell, what a miserable destiny!
(9:74) They swear by Allah that they did not say it, while they had said the word of rejection, and they rejected after they had peacefully surrendered, and they were concerned with what they could not possess; and they could not find any fault except that Allah and His messenger had enriched them from His bounty. If they repent it is better for them, and if they turn away, then Allah will punish them severely in this world and the next. They will not have on earth any ally or supporter.
(9:75) And amid them (there is) one who (has made) an accord with Allah: "Just if He will donate us out of His fidelity, we will certainly sacrifice, and we will certainly be amid the Righteous."
(9:76) But when He donutes them out of His fidelity, they (became) scarcity, and twirled, deliberately ward themselves.
(9:77) Then He cobbed them by (instilling) hypocrisy in their hearts, until the day when they welcomed Him, because they had cleaved ( in front of) Allah, what accorded upon with him, and because they had been liars.
(9:78) Did they not know that Allah knows their secrets, their conspiracies, and that Allah is the knower of all the unseen?
(9:79) Allah mocks those who criticize the generous acknowledgers for giving too much; and disdain those who do not have anything to give but their effort, Allah disdains them, and they will have a painful retribution.
(9:80) Whether you seek forgiveness for them, or do not seek forgiveness for them. If you seek forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will not forgive them. That is because they have rejected Allah and His messenger. And Allah does not guide the wicked people.
(9:81) Those who were left behind rejoiced their staying behind Allah's messenger, and they disliked to strive with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah. They said, "Do not march out in the heat." Say, "The fire of Samsara is far hotter." If they could only understand!
(9:82) Let them laugh a little, and cry a lot, as a recompense for what they had earned.
(9:83) If Allah returns you to a group of them, and they ask your permission to come with you, then say, "You will not come with me ever; nor will you fight any enemy with me. You had accepted staying behind the first time, so stay with those who remain behind."
(9:84) Do not show support for anyone of them who dies, nor stand at his grave. They have rejected Allah and His messenger and died while they were wicked.
(9:85) Do not also be impressed by their possession or children. Allah only wishes to punish them with it in this world, and their selves will vanish while they are ingrates.
(9:86) If a chapter is sent down: "That you shall acknowledge Allah and strive with His messenger," those with wealth and influence ask your permission and they say, "Let us be with those who remain behind."
(9:87) They were content to stay with those who remained behind, and it was stamped on their hearts, for they do not reason.
(9:88) But the messenger and those who acknowledge with him have strived with their money and their lives. For them will be the good things, and they are the successful ones.
(9:89) Allah has prepared for them genetics with rivers flowing beneath, in them they shall abide. Such is the great gain.
(9:90) Those who made excuses from among the Arabs came to get permission. Thus, those who denied Allah and His messenger stayed behind. Those who rejected from them will be inflicted with a painful retribution.
(9:91) There is no blame to be placed upon the weak, the sick, or those who do not find anything to spend on, as long as they are sincere to Allah and His messenger.
(9:92) Nor upon those who come to ride out with you, while you said, "I do not have any mounts for you;" they turned away while their eyes were flooded with tears out of sadness, for they could not find anything to contribute.
(9:93) Indeed, the argument is against those who sought your permission to stay while they had the means. They accepted to be with those who remained behind; Allah stamped their hearts, for they do not know.
(9:94) They will apologize to you when you return to them. Say, "Do not apologize; we will no longer trust you, for Allah has told us of your news." Allah will see your work, as will His messenger, then you will be returned to the knower of the unseen and the seen, He will inform you of what you did.
(9:95) They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them, so that you may overlook them. So overlook them, for they are tainted, and their destiny is hell as a recompense for what they earned.
(9:96) They swear to you so that you would accept them. Even if you accept them, Allah does not accept the wicked people.
(9:97) The Arabs are the worst in rejection and hypocrisy, and more likely not to know the limits of what Allah has sent down upon His messenger. Allah is Knower, Acuminate.
(9:98) From the Arabs are some who look upon what they spend as a fine, and wait for disasters to befall you. They will have the evil disasters, and Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.
(9:99) From the Arabs there is he who acknowledges Allah and the Last day, and considers his spending as a means towards Allah, and the support of the messenger. It indeed makes them closer. Allah will admit them in His mercy; Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.
(9:100) The volonteers of the emigrants and the supporters, and those who followed them in kindness; Allah has accepted them, and they have accepted Him. And He prepared for them genetics with rivers flowing beneath in which they will abide eternally. This is the Great Succeeding.
(9:101) Among the Arabs around you are hypocrites, as well as from the city people; they are audacious in hypocrisy. You do not know them, but We know them. We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great punishment.
(9:102) Others who have acknowledged their sins, they have mixed good work with bad. Perhaps Allah will pardon them.
(9:103) Take from their money a charity to purify them and improve them with it, and support them. Your support is tranquility for them; and Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.
(9:104) Or don't they know that it is Allah who accepts Repentance from His obedients, and accepts Sacrifice, and that it is Allah who is the Receiver of Repentance, the Merciful?
(9:105) Say, "Work, and Allah will see your work and so His messenger and those who acknowledge. You will be sent back to the knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you did."
(9:106) Others are waiting for Allah's decision; either He will punish them, or He will pardon them. Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.
(9:107) And those who choose to (live) the plot in (causing) harm, and denying, and (bringing) discord among the Trustees, and (weaving) intrigue, (to help) those who are already at war (against) Allah, and His Messenger, will surely swear, "We meant nothing but good". Allah checks that they are liars.
(9:108) You shall never stand there. A temple that is founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your standing; in it are men who love to be cleansed. Allah loves the cleansed.
(9:109) Is one who lays his foundation on obtaining awareness from Allah and His acceptance better, or one who lays his foundation on the edge of a cliff which is about to crumble, so that it crumbled with him into the fires of hell? Allah does not guide the wicked people.
(9:110) Such a structures that they erect will never cease to cause doubt in their hearts, until their hearts are severed. Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.
(9:111) Allah has purchased from those who acknowledge their very lives and their wealth; that they will have the genetic. They fight in the cause of Allah so they kill and are killed. A promise that is true upon Him in the Torah, the Injeel and the Quran. Whoever fulfills his pledge to Allah, then have good news of the deal which you concluded with. This is the Great Succeeding.
(9:112) Rejoice in the believers - who repent, obey (Allah), praise and wander, bow and prostrate, command what is approved and forbid what is reprehensible, and observe the limitations of Allah.
(9:113) It is not for the prophet and those who acknowledge that they should seek forgiveness for those who have set up partners, even if they are relatives, after it has been made clear to them that they are the dwellers of hell.
(9:114) Abraham seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he made to him. But when it became clear that he was Allah's enemy, he disowned him. Abraham was kind, compassionate.
(9:115) Allah will never mislead a people after He guided them, until He makes clear to them what they should be aware. Allah is knower of all things.
(9:116) To Allah is the sovereignty of heavens and earth, He causes life and death. You have none besides Allah as a supporter or victor.
(9:117) Allah has pardoned the prophet and the emigrants and the supporters that followed him in the darkest moment, even though the hearts of some of them nearly deviated, but then He pardoned them. He is towards them Kind, Compassionate.
(9:118) Also upon the three who were left behind until the land, as vast as it is, became strained to them, and their very selves became strained; they thought there is no shelter from Allah except to Him. Then He pardoned them that they might repent. Allah is the Redeemer, the Compassionate.
(9:119) O you who immune! Beware of Allah and be with the truthful.
(9:120) It is not advisable for the city dwellers and those around them of the Arabs that they should lag behind after Allah's messenger, nor should they yearn for themselves above him. That is because any crave, fatigue, or hunger that afflicts them in the cause of Allah, or any step that they take which will annoy the ingrates, or any gain they have over any enemy; it will be recorded as a good deed for them. Allah does not waste the gratuity of the good doers.
(9:121) Anything small or large they spend, or any valley they cross, it will be recorded for them. Allah will recompense them with the best of what they did.
(9:122) It is not advisable for those who acknowledge to march out in their entirety. For every battalion that marches out, let a group remain to study the system, and warn their people when they return to them, perhaps they will be cautious.
(9:123) O you who immune! Fight the ingrates who gird you about, and let them find strength in you. Know that Allah is with the righteous.
(9:124) When a chapter is revealed, some of them say, "Whose acknowledgement has this increased?" For those who acknowledge, it increased their acknowledgment, and they rejoice.
(9:125) As for those who have a disease in their hearts, it only increased foulness to their foulness, and they died as ingrates.
(9:126) Do they not see they are tested every calendar year once or twice? Yet, they do not repent, nor do they take heed.
(9:127) When a chapter is revealed, they looked at one another: "Does anyone see you?", then they turn away. Allah turns away their hearts, for they are a people who do not comprehend.
(9:128) A messenger has come to you from yourselves, concerned over your suffering, anxious over you, towards those who acknowledge he is kind, merciful.
(9:129) If they turn away, then say, "Allah is enough for me, there is no Allah but He, in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the great throne."
