1. O ye who
believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or
protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they
have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on
the contrary) driven out the Messenger and yourselves (from
your homes), (simply) because ye believe in Allah your Lord!
If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good
Pleasure, friendship unto them: for I know full well all
that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that
does this has strayed from the Straight Path.
2.
If they overcome you, they would behave to you as enemies,
and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you
for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth.
3.
Of no profit to you will be your relatives and your children
on the Day of Judgment: He will judge between you: for Allah
sees well all that ye do.
4.
There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham
and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are
clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we
have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you,
enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and
Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will
pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to
get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our
Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in
repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Return.
5.
"Our Lord! Make us not a (test and) trial for the
Unbelievers, but forgive us, our Lord! for Thou art the
Exalted in Might, the Wise."
6.
There was indeed in them an excellent example for you to
follow,- for those whose hope is in Allah and in the Last
Day. But if any turn away, truly Allah is Free of all Wants,
Worthy of all Praise.
7.
It may be that Allah will establish friendship between you
and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For Allah has power
(over all things); and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
8.
Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you
not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from
dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those
who are just.
9.
Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you
for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and
support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for
friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in
these circumstances), that do wrong.
10.
O ye who believe! When there come to you believing women
refugees, examine (and test) them: Allah knows best as to
their Faith: if ye ascertain that they are Believers, then
send them not back to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives)
for the Unbelievers, nor are the (Unbelievers) lawful (husbands)
for them. But pay the Unbelievers what they have spent (on
their dower), and there will be no blame on you if ye marry
them on payment of their dower to them. But hold not to the
ties (marriage contract) of unbelieving women: ask for what
ye have spent on their dowers, and let the (Unbelievers) ask
for what they have spent (on the dowers of women who come
over to you). Such is the command of Allah. He judges (with
justice) between you. And Allah is Full of Knowledge and
Wisdom.
11.
And if any of your wives deserts you to the Unbelievers, and
ye have your turn (by the coming over of a woman from the
other side) , then pay to those whose wives have deserted
the equivalent of what they had spent (on their dower). And
fear Allah, in Whom ye believe.
12.
O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the
oath of fealty to thee, that they will not associate in
worship any other thing whatever with Allah, that they will
not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or
fornication), that they will not kill their children, that
they will not utter slander, intentionally forging
falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just
matter,- then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to
Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins): for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
13.
O ye who believe! Turn not (for friendship) to people on
whom is the Wrath of Allah, of the Hereafter they are
already in despair, just as the Unbelievers are in despair
about those (buried) in graves. |
