Al-Mujadila 58:13

Al-Mujadila - The Pleading Woman

المجادلة
Verse 8

أَلَم تَرَ إِلَى الَّذينَ نُهوا عَنِ النَّجوىٰ ثُمَّ يَعودونَ لِما نُهوا عَنهُ وَيَتَناجَونَ بِالإِثمِ وَالعُدوانِ وَمَعصِيَتِ الرَّسولِ وَإِذا جاءوكَ حَيَّوكَ بِما لَم يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَيَقولونَ في أَنفُسِهِم لَولا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِما نَقولُ ۚ حَسبُهُم جَهَنَّمُ يَصلَونَها ۖ فَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

Didn’t you see those who were forbidden from secret gatherings, yet they persist in what they were prohibited from, and they conspire in sin, aggression, and disobedience to the Messenger? When they come to you, they greet you in a way God didn’t greet you, and they say within themselves, “Why doesn’t God punish us for what we say?” Enough for them is Hell; they will roast in it. What a terrible destination!

Verse 9

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِذا تَناجَيتُم فَلا تَتَناجَوا بِالإِثمِ وَالعُدوانِ وَمَعصِيَتِ الرَّسولِ وَتَناجَوا بِالبِرِّ وَالتَّقوىٰ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذي إِلَيهِ تُحشَرونَ

O you who believe, when you converse privately, don’t converse in sin, hostility, and disobedience to the Messenger. Instead, converse in righteousness and piety, and fear God, to whom you will be gathered.

Verse 10

إِنَّمَا النَّجوىٰ مِنَ الشَّيطانِ لِيَحزُنَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَلَيسَ بِضارِّهِم شَيئًا إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَليَتَوَكَّلِ المُؤمِنونَ

Secret counsels are of Satan, to sadden the believers. Yet, he can’t harm them at all except with God’s permission. So, let the believers put their trust in God.

Verse 11

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِذا قيلَ لَكُم تَفَسَّحوا فِي المَجالِسِ فَافسَحوا يَفسَحِ اللَّهُ لَكُم ۖ وَإِذا قيلَ انشُزوا فَانشُزوا يَرفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا مِنكُم وَالَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ دَرَجاتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرٌ

O you who believe, when it is said to you, “Make room in assemblies”, then do so. God will make room for you. And when asked to disperse, then do so. God elevates in rank those of you who believe and those who are given knowledge. God is fully aware of what you do.

Verse 12

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِذا ناجَيتُمُ الرَّسولَ فَقَدِّموا بَينَ يَدَي نَجواكُم صَدَقَةً ۚ ذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ لَكُم وَأَطهَرُ ۚ فَإِن لَم تَجِدوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

O you who believe, when you wish to have a private conversation with the Messenger, precede your private consultation with a charity. This is better and purer for you. However, if you lack the means, God is Forgiving and Merciful.

أَأَشفَقتُم أَن تُقَدِّموا بَينَ يَدَي نَجواكُم صَدَقاتٍ ۚ فَإِذ لَم تَفعَلوا وَتابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيكُم فَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَأَطيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبيرٌ بِما تَعمَلونَ

Are you reluctant to offer charity before your consultation? Since you could not, God has forgiven you. So, establish prayer, give the purifying charity, and obey God and His Messenger. God is fully aware of what you do.

Verse 14

أَلَم تَرَ إِلَى الَّذينَ تَوَلَّوا قَومًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِم ما هُم مِنكُم وَلا مِنهُم وَيَحلِفونَ عَلَى الكَذِبِ وَهُم يَعلَمونَ

Did you consider those who befriended a people with whom God is angered? They are neither from you nor from them, and they swear falsely while they know.

Verse 15

أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم عَذابًا شَديدًا ۖ إِنَّهُم ساءَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

God prepared for them a severe punishment. How evil is what they used to do!

Verse 16

اتَّخَذوا أَيمانَهُم جُنَّةً فَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَهُم عَذابٌ مُهينٌ

They’ve made their oaths a disguise, and they obstruct others from God’s way. A humiliating punishment awaits them.

Verse 17

لَن تُغنِيَ عَنهُم أَموالُهُم وَلا أَولادُهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيئًا ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ النّارِ ۖ هُم فيها خالِدونَ

Their wealth and children won’t avail them against God. They are the inhabitants of the Fire, dwelling there for eternity.

Verse 18

يَومَ يَبعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ جَميعًا فَيَحلِفونَ لَهُ كَما يَحلِفونَ لَكُم ۖ وَيَحسَبونَ أَنَّهُم عَلىٰ شَيءٍ ۚ أَلا إِنَّهُم هُمُ الكاذِبونَ

On the Day when God will resurrect them all, they will swear to Him as they swear to you, and they think they are upon something. Indeed, they are the liars.
