1. A
(declaration) of immunity from Allah and His Messenger, to those of the
Pagans with whom ye have contracted mutual alliances:-
2. Go ye, then, for four months (backwards and
forwards, as ye will), throughout the land, but know ye that ye cannot
frustrate Allah (by your falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame
those who reject Him.
3. And an announcement from Allah and His
Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great
Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations
with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye
turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a
grievous chastisement to those who reject Faith.
4. (But the treaties are) not dissolved with
those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not
subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So
fulfill your engagements with them to the end of their term: for Allah
loveth the righteous.
5. But when the forbidden months are past, then
fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them,
beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war);
but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and pay Zakat, then
open the way for them: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.
6. If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for
asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the Word of Allah; and then
escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men
without knowledge.
7. How can there be a covenant, before Allah and
His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty
near the Sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye
true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.
8. How (can there be such a covenant), seeing
that if they get an advantage over you, they respect not in you the ties
either of kinship or of covenant? With (fair words from) their mouths
they please you, but their hearts are averse from you; and most of them
are rebellious and wicked.
9. The Words of Allah have they sold for a
miserable price, and (many) have they hindered from His Way: evil indeed
are the deeds they have done.
10. In a Believer they respect not the ties
either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who have transgressed all
bounds.
11. But (even so), if they repent, establish
regular prayers, and pay Zakat,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus)
do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.
12. But if they violate their oaths after their
covenant, and attack you for your Faith,- fight ye the chiefs of
Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be
restrained.
13. Will ye not fight people who violated their
oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and attacked you first? Do ye
fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should more justly fear, if ye
believe!
14. Fight them, and Allah will punish them by
your hands, and disgrace them, help you (to victory) over them, heal the
breasts of Believers,
15. And still the indignation of their hearts.
For Allah will turn (in mercy) to whom He will; and Allah is
All-Knowing, All-Wise.
16. Do you think that you would be left alone
while Allah has not yet known those among you who strive with might and
main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His
Messenger, and the (community of) Believers? And Allah is
well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
17. It is not for such as join gods with Allah,
to maintain the mosques of Allah while they witness against their own
souls to infidelity. The works of such bear no fruit: In Fire shall they
dwell.
18. The mosques of Allah shall be visited and
maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish
regular prayers, and pay Zakat, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It
is they who are expected to be on true guidance.
19. Do ye consider the giving of drink to
pilgrims, or the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the pious
service of) those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and strive with
might and main in the Cause of Allah. They are not equal in the sight of
Allah. and Allah guides not those who do wrong.
20. Those who believe, and emigrate and strive
with might and main, in Allah's Cause, with their goods and their
persons, have the highest rank in the sight of Allah. they are the
people who will achieve (salvation).
21. Their Lord doth give them Glad tidings of a
Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of Gardens for them,
wherein are delights that endure:
22. They will dwell therein for ever. Verily
with Allah is a reward, the greatest (of all).
23. O ye who believe! take not for protectors
your fathers and your brothers if they love Infidelity above Faith: if
any of you do so, they do wrong.
24. Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons,
your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have
gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in
which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or
the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His
Decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.
25. Assuredly Allah did help you in many
battle-fields and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great numbers
elated you, but they availed you naught: the land, for all that it is
wide, did constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.
26. But Allah did pour His calm on the Messenger
and on the Believers, and sent down forces which ye saw not: He punished
the Unbelievers; thus doth He reward those without Faith.
27. Again will Allah, after this, turn (in
mercy) to whom He will: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.
28. O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are
unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred
Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich you, if He wills,
out of His bounty, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
29. Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the
Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and
His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the
People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued.
30. The Jews call Ùzair a son of Allah, and the
Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their
mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to
say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
31. They take their priests and their anchorites
to be their lords beside Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the
son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One God. there is no
god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the
partners they associate (with Him).
32. Fain would they extinguish Allah's Light
with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His Light should be
perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
33. It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with
Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to cause it to prevail over all
religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
34. O ye who believe! there are indeed many
among the priests and anchorites, who in falsehood devour the wealth of
men and hinder (them) from the Way of Allah. And there are those who
hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the Way of Allah: announce
unto them a most grievous chastisement-
35. On the Day when it will be heated in the
fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks,
and their backs.- "This is the (treasure) which ye hoarded for
yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye buried!"
36. The number of months in the sight of Allah
is twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens
and the earth; of them four are sacred: that is the right religion. So
wrong not yourselves therein. And fight the Pagans all together as they
fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain
themselves.
37. Verily the transposing (of a prohibited
month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong
thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year,
in order to agree with the number of months forbidden by Allah and make
such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to
them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
38. O ye who believe! what is the matter with
you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the Cause of Allah, ye cling
heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the
Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the
Hereafter.
39. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with
a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not
harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things.
40. If ye help not (your Prophet), (it is no
matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him
out: being the second of the two; they two were in the Cave, and he said
to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent
down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw
not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the Word
of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
41. Go ye forth, (whether equipped) lightly or
heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your persons, in
the Cause of Allah. That is best for you, if ye (but) knew.
42. If there had been immediate gain (in sight),
and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee,
but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed
swear by Allah, "If we only could, we should certainly have come out
with you": They would destroy their own souls; for Allah doth know that
they are certainly lying.
43. Allah give thee grace! Why didst thou grant
them exemption until those who told the truth were seen by thee in a
clear light, and thou hadst proved the liars?
44. Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day
ask thee for no exemption from fighting with their goods and persons.
And Allah knoweth well those who do their duty.
45. Only those ask thee for exemption who
believe not in Allah and the Last Day, and whose hearts are in doubt, so
that they are tossed in their doubts to and fro.
46. If they had intended to come out, they would
certainly have made some preparation therefor; but Allah was averse to
their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind, and they were told,
"Sit ye among those who sit (inactive)."
47. If they had come out with you, they would
not have added to your (strength) but only (made for) disorder, hurrying
to and fro in your midst and sowing sedition among you, and there would
have been some among you who would have listened to them. But Allah
knoweth well those who do wrong.
48. Indeed they had plotted sedition before, and
upset matters for thee, until,- the Truth arrived, and the Decree of
Allah became manifest much to their disgust.
49. Among them is (many) a man who says: "Grant
me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into
trial already? and indeed Hell surrounds the Unbelievers (on all sides).
50. If good befalls thee, it grieves them; but
if a misfortune befalls thee, they say, "We took indeed our precautions
beforehand," and they turn away rejoicing.
51. Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what
Allah has decreed for us: He is our Protector": and on Allah let the
Believers put their trust.
52. Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other
than one of two glorious things- (martyrdom or victory)? But we can
expect for you either that Allah will send His punishment from Him, or
by our hands. So wait (expectant); we too will wait with you."
53. Say: "Spend (for the Cause) willingly or
unwillingly: not from you will it be accepted: for ye are indeed a
people rebellious and wicked."
54. The only reasons why their contributions are
not accepted are: that they reject Allah and His Messenger; that they
come to prayer save lazily; and that they offer contributions
unwillingly.
55. Let not their wealth nor their children
dazzle thee: in reality Allah's wish is to punish them with these things
in this life, and that their souls may perish in their (very) denial of
Allah.
56. They swear by Allah that they are indeed of
you; but they are not of you: yet they are afraid (of you).
57. If they could find a place to flee to, or
caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto,
with an obstinate rush.
58. And among them are men who slander thee in
the matter of (the distribution of) the alms: if they are given part
thereof, they are pleased, but if not, behold! they are indignant!
59. If only they had been content with what
Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said, "Sufficient unto us is
Allah. Allah and His Messenger will soon give us of His bounty: to Allah
do we turn our hopes!" (that would have been the right course).
60. Alms are for the poor and the needy, and
those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have
been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt;
in the Cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by
Allah, and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
61. Among them are men who molest the Prophet
and say, "He is (all) ear." Say, "He listens to what is best for you: he
believes in Allah, has faith in the Believers, and is a Mercy to those
of you who believe." But those who molest the Messenger will have a
grievous chastisement.
62. To you they swear by Allah in order to
please you: But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and His
Messenger, if they are Believers.
63. Know they not that for those who oppose
Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell?- wherein they shall dwell.
That is the supreme disgrace.
64. The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Sürah
should be sent down about them, showing them what is (really passing) in
their hearts. Say: "Mock ye! But verily Allah will bring to light all
that ye fear (should be revealed).
65. If thou dost question them, they declare
(with emphasis): "We were only talking idly and in play." Say: "Was it
at Allah, and His Signs, and His Messenger, that ye were mocking?"
66. Make ye no excuses: ye have rejected Faith
after ye had accepted it. If We pardon some of you, We will punish
others amongst you, for that they are sinners.
67. The Hypocrites, men and women, are alike
with each other: They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and tighten
their purse's strings. They have forgotten Allah; so He hath forgotten
them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse.
68. Allah hath promised the Hypocrites men and
women, and the rejecters of Faith, the fire of Hell: Therein shall they
dwell: Sufficient is it for them: for them is the curse of Allah, and an
enduring punishment,-
69. As in the case of those before you: they
were mightier than you in power, and more flourishing in wealth and
children. They had their enjoyment of their portion: and ye have of
yours, as did those before you; and ye indulge in idle talk as they did.
They!- their work are fruitless in this world and in the Hereafter, and
they are the losers.
70. Hath not the story reached them of those
before them?- the People of Noah, and Àd, and Thamüd; the People of
Abraham, the men of Midian, and the Cities overthrown. To them came
their messengers with Clear Signs. It is not Allah Who wrongs them, but
they wrong their own souls.
71. The Believers, men and women, are protectors
one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they
observe regular prayers, pay Zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On
them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.
72. Allah hath promised to Believers, men and
women, Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful
mansions in Gardens of everlasting stay. But the greatest bliss is the
Good Pleasure of Allah. that is the supreme felicity.
73. O Prophet! strive hard against the
Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is
Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.
74. They swear by Allah that they said nothing
(evil), but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they uttered it after
accepting Islám; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to
carry out: this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty
with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it
will be best for them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah
will punish them with a grievous chastisement in this life and in the
Hereafter: They shall have none on earth to protect or help them.
75. Amongst them are men who made a covenant
with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty, they would give
(largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous.
76. But when He did bestow of His bounty, they
became misers, and turned back (from their covenant), averse (from its
fulfillment).
77. 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).
78. Know they not that Allah doth know their
secret (thoughts) and their secret counsels, and that Allah knoweth well
all things unseen?
79. 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 chastisement.
80. 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 Messenger. and Allah guideth not those who are perversely
rebellious.
81. Those who were left behind (in the Tabük
expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the Messenger 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!
82. Let them laugh a little: much will they
weep: a recompense for the (evil) that they do.
83. 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."
84. Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that
dies, nor stand at his grave; for they rejected Allah and His Messenger,
and died in a state of perverse rebellion.
85. Nor let their wealth nor their children
dazzle thee: Allah's wish is to punish them with these things in this
world, and that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers.
86. When a Sürah comes down, enjoining them to
believe in Allah and to strive and fight along with His Messenger, 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)."
87. They prefer to be with (the women), who
remain behind (at home): their hearts are sealed and so they understand
not.
88. But the Messenger, 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.
89. Allah hath prepared for them Gardens under
which rivers flow, to dwell therein: that is the supreme triumph.
90. 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 Messenger (merely) sat behind. Soon will a
grievous chastisement seize the Unbelievers among them.
91. 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 Messenger: no ground (of complaint)
can there be against such as do right: and Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.
92. 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.
93. 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.
94. They will present their excuses to you when
ye return to them. Say thou: "Present no excuses: we shall not believe
you: Allah hath already informed us of the true state of matters
concerning you: It is your actions that Allah and His Messenger will
observe: in the end will ye be brought back to Him Who knoweth what is
hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye
did."
95. They will swear to you by Allah, when ye
return to them, that ye may leave them alone. So leave them alone: For
they are an abomination, and Hell is their dwelling-place,-a fitting
recompense for the (evil) that they did.
96. They will swear unto you, that ye may be
pleased with them, but if ye are pleased with them, Allah is not pleased
with those who disobey.
97. The Bedouin Arabs are the worst in Unbelief
and hypocrisy, and most fitted to be in ignorance of the command which
Allah hath sent down to His Messenger. But Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise.
98. Some of the Bedouin Arabs look upon their
payments as a fine, and watch for disasters for you: on them be the
disaster of evil: for Allah is He That heareth and knoweth (all things).
99. But some of the desert Arabs believe in
Allah and the Last Day, and look on their payments as pious gifts
bringing them nearer to Allah and obtaining the prayers of the
Messenger. Aye, indeed they bring them nearer (to Him): soon will Allah
admit them to His Mercy: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
100. The vanguard (of Islám)- the first of those
who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave them aid, and (also)
those who follow them in (all) good deeds,- well- pleased is Allah with
them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared Gardens under
which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme
triumph.
101. Certain of the desert Arabs round about you
are hypocrites, as well as among the Madinah folk: they are obstinate in
hypocrisy: thou knowest them not: We know them: twice shall We punish
them: and in addition shall they be sent to a grievous chastisement.
102. Others (there are who) have acknowledged
their wrong-doings: they have mixed an act that was good with another
that was evil. Perhaps Allah will turn unto them (in Mercy): for Allah
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
103. Of their wealth, take alms, that so thou
mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy
prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth
and knoweth.
104. Know they not that Allah doth accept
repentance from His votaries and receives their gifts of charity, and
that Allah is verily He, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful?
105. And say: "Work (righteousness): Soon will
Allah observe your work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: Soon will
ye be brought back to the Knower of what is hidden and what is open:
then will He show you the truth of all that ye did."
106. There are (yet) others, held in suspense
for the command of Allah, whether He will punish them, or turn in mercy
to them: and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
107. And there are those who put up a mosque by
way of mischief and infidelity - to disunite the Believers - and in
preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger
aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but
good; but Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars.
108. Never stand thou forth therein. There is a
mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more
worthy of thy standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who
love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure.
109. Which then is best? - he that layeth his
foundation on piety to Allah and His Good Pleasure? - or he that layeth
his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces?
and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah
guideth not people that do wrong.
110. The foundation of those who so build is
never free from suspicion and shakiness in their hearts, until their
hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
111. Allah hath purchased of the believers their
persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of
Paradise): they fight in His Cause, and slay and are slain: a promise
binding on Him in Truth, through the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qurán:
and who is more faithful to his Covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the
bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
112. Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance;
that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the Cause of
Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin
good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah.- (these do
rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers.
113. It is not fitting, for the Prophet and
those who believe, that they should pray for forgiveness for Pagans,
even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are
companions of the Fire.
114. And Abraham prayed for his father's
forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it
became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated
himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.
115. And Allah will not mislead a people after
He hath guided them, until He makes clear to them as to what they should
avoid, for Allah hath knowledge of all things.
116. Unto Allah belongeth the dominion of the
heavens and the earth. He giveth life and He taketh it. Except for Him
ye have no protector nor helper.
117. Allah turned with favor to the Prophet, the
Muhájirs, and the Ansár,- who followed him in a time of distress, after
that the hearts of a part of them had nearly swerved (from duty); but He
turned to them (also): for He is unto them Most Kind, Most Merciful.
118. (He turned in mercy also) to the three who
were left behind; (they felt guilty) to such a degree that the earth
seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and their (very)
souls seemed straitened to them,- and they perceived that there is no
fleeing from Allah (and no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to
them, that they might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
119. O ye who believe! Fear Allah and be with
those who are truthful.
120. It was not fitting for the people of
Madinah and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighborhood, to stay behind (and
not follow) Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his:
because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their
credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or
fatigue, or hunger, in the Cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the
ire of the Unbelievers, or gain any gain from an enemy: for Allah
suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;-
121. Nor could they spend anything (for the
Cause) - small or great- nor cut across a valley, but the deed is
inscribed to their credit: that Allah may requite them with the best
(possible reward).
122. It is not for the Believers to go forth
(all) together: if a contingent from every expedition go forth to devote
themselves to studies in religion, and admonish the people when they
return to them,- that thus they (may learn) to guard themselves (against
evil).
123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who
are near to you, and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah
is with those who fear Him.
124. Whenever there cometh down a Sürah, some of
them say: "Which of you has had His faith increased by it?" Yea, those
who believe,- their faith is increased and they do rejoice.
125. But those in whose hearts is a disease,- it
will add doubt to their doubt, and they will die in a state of Unbelief.
126. See they not that they are tried every year
once or twice? Yet they turn not in repentance, and they take no heed.
127. Whenever there cometh down a Sürah, they
look at each other, (saying), "Doth anyone see you?" Then they turn
away: Allah hath turned their hearts (from the light); for they are a
people that understand not.
128. Now hath come unto you a Messenger from
amongst yourselves: it grieves him that ye should suffer, ardently
anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful.
129. But if they turn away, Say: "(Allah)
sufficeth me: there is no god but He: On Him is my trust,- He the Lord
of the Throne Supreme!"
