بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

47:33

believers, obey God and the Messenger: do not let your deeds go to waste-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

47:34

God will not forgive those who disbelieve, bar others from God’s path, and die as disbelievers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

47:35

So [believers] do not lose heart and cry out for peace. It is you who have the upper hand: God is with you. He will not begrudge you the reward for your [good] deeds:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

47:36

the life of this world is only a game, a pastime, but if you believe and are mindful of God, He will recompense you. He does not ask you to give up [all] your posses-sions-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

47:37

you would be grudging if He were to ask you and press you for them, and He would bring your ill-will to light-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

47:38

though now you are called upon to give [a little] for the sake of God, some of you are grudging. Whoever is grudging is so only towards himself: God is the source of wealth and you are the needy ones. He will substitute other people for you if you turn away, and they will not be like you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:1

Truly We have opened up a path to clear triumph for you [Prophet],

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:2

so that God may forgive you your past and future sins, complete His grace upon you, guide you to a straight path,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:3

and help you mightily.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:4

It was He who made His tranquillity descend into the hearts of the believers, to add faith to their faith––the forces of the heavens and earth belong to God; He is all knowing and all wise––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:5

so as to admit believing men and women into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain, absolving their bad deeds––a great triumph in God’s eyes––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:6

and to torment the hypocritical and idolatrous men and women who harbour evil thoughts about God––it is they who will be encircled by evil!––who carry the burden of God’s anger, whom God has rejected and for whom He has prepared Hell, an evil destination!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:7

The forces of heaven and earth belong to God; He is almighty and all wise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:8

We have sent you [Prophet] to bring good news and to give warning,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:9

so that you[people] may believe in God and His Messenger, support Him, honour Him, and praise Him morning and evening.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:10

Those who pledge loyalty to you [Prophet] are actually pledging loyalty to God Himself- God’s hand is placed on theirs––and anyone who breaks his pledge does so to his own detriment: God will give a great reward to the one who fulfils his pledge to Him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:11

The desert Arabs who stayed behind will say to you, ‘We were busy with our property and our families: ask forgiveness for us,’ but they say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say, ‘Whether it is God’s will to do you harm or good, who can intervene for you?’ No! God is fully aware of everything you [people] do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:12

No! You thought that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their families and this thought warmed your hearts. Your thoughts are evil, for you are corrupt people:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:13

We have prepared a blazing Fire for those who do not believe in God and His Messenger.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:14

Control of the heavens and earth belongs to God and He forgives whoever He will and punishes whoever He will: God is most forgiving and merciful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:15

When you [believers] set off for somewhere that promises war gains, those who [previously] stayed behind will say, ‘Let us come with you.’ They want to change God’s words, but tell them [Prophet], ‘You may not come with us: God has said this before.’ They will reply, ‘You begrudge us out of jealousy.’ How little they understand!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:16

Tell the desert Arabs who stayed behind, ‘You will be called to face a people of great might in war and to fight them, unless they surrender: if you obey, God will reward you well, but if you turn away, as you have done before, He will punish you heavily-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

48:17

the blind, the lame, and the sick will not be blamed.’ God will admit anyone who obeys Him and His Messenger to Gardens graced with flowing streams; He will painfully punish anyone who turns away.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
