SIPARA 10
 
SURA TAUBAH

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

  1. But when He did bestow of His bounty, they became covetous, and turned back (from their covenant), averse (from its fulfillment).
  2. So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, (to last) till the day whereon they shall meet Him: Because they broke their covenant with Allah, and because they lied (again and again).
  3. Know they not that Allah doth know their secret (thoughts) and their secret counsels, and that Allah knoweth well all things unseen?
  4. Those who slander such of the believers as give themselves freely to (deeds of) charity, as well as such as can find nothing to give except the fruits of their labor, and throw ridicule on them, Allah will throw back their ridicule on them: And they shall have a grievous penalty.
  5. Whether thou ask for their forgiveness or not, (their sin is unforgivable): If thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: Because they have rejected Allah and His apostle; and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious.
  6. Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Apostle of Allah: They hated to strive and fight, with their goods and their persons, in the cause of Allah: They said, "Go not forth in the heat." Say, "The Fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand!
  7. Let them laugh a little: Much will they weep: A recompense for the (evil) that they do.
  8. If, then, Allah bring thee back to any of them, and they ask thy permission to come out (with thee), say: "Never shall ye come out with me, nor fight an enemy with me: For ye preferred to sit inactive on the first occasion: Then sit ye (now) with those who lag behind."
  9. Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave: For they rejected Allah and His apostle, and died in a state of perverse rebellion.
  10. Nor let their wealth nor their (following in) sons Dazzle thee: Allah's plan is to punish them with these things in this world, and that their souls may perish in their (very) denial of Allah.
  11. When a Sura comes down, enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive and fight along with his Apostle, those with wealth and influence among them ask thee for exemption, and say: "Leave us (behind): We would be with those who sit (at home)."
  12. They prefer to be with (the women), who remain behind (at home): Their hearts are sealed and so they understand not.
  13. But the Apostle, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: For them are (all) good things: And it is they who will prosper.
  14. Allah hath prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow ,to dwell therein: That is the supreme felicity.
  15. And there were, among the desert Arabs (also), Men who made excuses and came to claim exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His apostle (Merely) sat inactive. Soon will a grievous penalty seize the unbelievers among them.
  16. There is no blame on those who are infirm, or ill, or who find no resources to spend (on the cause), if they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His apostle: No ground (of complaint) can there be against such as do right: And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
  17. Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mounts, and when thou saidst, "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses.
  18. The ground (of complaint) is against such as claim exemption while they are rich. They prefer to stay with the (women) who remain behind: Allah hath sealed their hearts; so they know not (what they miss).
