Al-Hajj 22:45

Al-Hajj - The Pilgrimage

الحج
Verse 40

الَّذينَ أُخرِجوا مِن دِيارِهِم بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ إِلّا أَن يَقولوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ۗ وَلَولا دَفعُ اللَّهِ النّاسَ بَعضَهُم بِبَعضٍ لَهُدِّمَت صَوامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَواتٌ وَمَساجِدُ يُذكَرُ فيهَا اسمُ اللَّهِ كَثيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزيزٌ

Those who were unjustly evicted from their homes, simply for saying, “Our Lord is God.” Had God not repelled some people by means of others, numerous monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, where God’s name is frequently invoked, would’ve been demolished. God will support those who support His cause. God is Powerful and Mighty.

Verse 41

الَّذينَ إِن مَكَّنّاهُم فِي الأَرضِ أَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكاةَ وَأَمَروا بِالمَعروفِ وَنَهَوا عَنِ المُنكَرِ ۗ وَلِلَّهِ عاقِبَةُ الأُمورِ

Those who, when We empower them on earth, establish prayer, give charity, promote what’s right, and forbid what’s wrong. The final decision in all matters belongs to God.

Verse 42

وَإِن يُكَذِّبوكَ فَقَد كَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نوحٍ وَعادٌ وَثَمودُ

If they reject you, so before them, the people of Noah and Aad and Thamud had rejected.

Verse 43

وَقَومُ إِبراهيمَ وَقَومُ لوطٍ

And the people of Abraham, and the people of Lot.

Verse 44

وَأَصحابُ مَديَنَ ۖ وَكُذِّبَ موسىٰ فَأَملَيتُ لِلكافِرينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذتُهُم ۖ فَكَيفَ كانَ نَكيرِ

And the inhabitants of Midian. Moses, too, was accused of lying. I granted delay to the unbelievers, then I seized them. So how terrible was My condemnation?

فَكَأَيِّن مِن قَريَةٍ أَهلَكناها وَهِيَ ظالِمَةٌ فَهِيَ خاوِيَةٌ عَلىٰ عُروشِها وَبِئرٍ مُعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصرٍ مَشيدٍ

How many a town did We destroy while it was committing wrong? They now lie in ruins, with abandoned wells and lofty mansions.

Verse 46

أَفَلَم يَسيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَتَكونَ لَهُم قُلوبٌ يَعقِلونَ بِها أَو آذانٌ يَسمَعونَ بِها ۖ فَإِنَّها لا تَعمَى الأَبصارُ وَلـٰكِن تَعمَى القُلوبُ الَّتي فِي الصُّدورِ

Didn’t they travel through the earth and use their intellect to understand, and their ears to listen? It’s not the eyes that go blind, but it’s the hearts in the chests that do.

Verse 47

وَيَستَعجِلونَكَ بِالعَذابِ وَلَن يُخلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعدَهُ ۚ وَإِنَّ يَومًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلفِ سَنَةٍ مِمّا تَعُدّونَ

They challenge you to hasten the punishment, but God will never fail in His promise. A day with your Lord is like a thousand years by your calculations.

Verse 48

وَكَأَيِّن مِن قَريَةٍ أَملَيتُ لَها وَهِيَ ظالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَخَذتُها وَإِلَيَّ المَصيرُ

And how many a town did I prolong while it was committing wrong? To Me is the ultimate return.

Verse 49

قُل يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِنَّما أَنا لَكُم نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

Say, “O people, I am only a clear warner to you.”

Verse 50

فَالَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لَهُم مَغفِرَةٌ وَرِزقٌ كَريمٌ

Those who believe and perform righteous deeds will receive forgiveness and a generous reward.
