يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا قاتِلُوا الَّذينَ يَلونَكُم مِنَ الكُفّارِ وَليَجِدوا فيكُم غِلظَةً ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ المُتَّقينَ

O you who believe, fight those of the unbelievers who attack you, and let them find harshness in you; and know that God is with the righteous.

وَإِذا ما أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ فَمِنهُم مَن يَقولُ أَيُّكُم زادَتهُ هـٰذِهِ إيمانًا ۚ فَأَمَّا الَّذينَ آمَنوا فَزادَتهُم إيمانًا وَهُم يَستَبشِرونَ

Whenever a chapter is revealed, some of them ask, “Which of you has this increased in faith?” As for those who have believed, it increases their faith and they are rejoicing.

وَأَمَّا الَّذينَ في قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ فَزادَتهُم رِجسًا إِلىٰ رِجسِهِم وَماتوا وَهُم كافِرونَ

But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it increases their filth to their filth; and they die while they are unbelievers.

أَوَلا يَرَونَ أَنَّهُم يُفتَنونَ في كُلِّ عامٍ مَرَّةً أَو مَرَّتَينِ ثُمَّ لا يَتوبونَ وَلا هُم يَذَّكَّرونَ

Don’t they see that they are tested once or twice every year? They still neither repent, nor do they remember.

وَإِذا ما أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ نَظَرَ بَعضُهُم إِلىٰ بَعضٍ هَل يَراكُم مِن أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفوا ۚ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُم قَومٌ لا يَفقَهونَ

Whenever a chapter is revealed, they glance at each other, asking, “Does anyone see you?” Then, they turn away. God has turned their hearts away, because they are a people who don’t understand.

فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقُل حَسبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرشِ العَظيمِ

But if they turn away, say, “God is sufficient for me. There is no god but He. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Grand Throne.”
