At-Tawbah 9:31

At-Tawbah - The Repentance

التوبة
Verse 26

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكينَتَهُ عَلىٰ رَسولِهِ وَعَلَى المُؤمِنينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنودًا لَم تَرَوها وَعَذَّبَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۚ وَذٰلِكَ جَزاءُ الكافِرينَ

Then, God sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and the believers. He sent down forces you didn’t see and tormented those disbelieving. This is the compensation for the unbelievers.

Verse 27

ثُمَّ يَتوبُ اللَّهُ مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Afterward, God will relent towards whom He wills. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Verse 28

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِنَّمَا المُشرِكونَ نَجَسٌ فَلا يَقرَبُوا المَسجِدَ الحَرامَ بَعدَ عامِهِم هـٰذا ۚ وَإِن خِفتُم عَيلَةً فَسَوفَ يُغنيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ إِن شاءَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

O you who believe, the Idolaters are impure, so they shouldn’t approach the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you fear financial loss, God will enrich you out of His grace, if He wills. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 29

قاتِلُوا الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلا بِاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَلا يُحَرِّمونَ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ وَلا يَدينونَ دينَ الحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ حَتّىٰ يُعطُوا الجِزيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُم صاغِرونَ

Fight those who don’t believe in God or the Last Day from among the People of the Scripture, who don’t forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, and who don’t embrace the religion of truth, until they pay the tax willingly and feel subdued.

Verse 30

وَقالَتِ اليَهودُ عُزَيرٌ ابنُ اللَّهِ وَقالَتِ النَّصارَى المَسيحُ ابنُ اللَّهِ ۖ ذٰلِكَ قَولُهُم بِأَفواهِهِم ۖ يُضاهِئونَ قَولَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن قَبلُ ۚ قاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ أَنّىٰ يُؤفَكونَ

The Jews say, “Uzair is the son of God,” and the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of God.” These are their words; they mimic the utterances of those who disbelieved before. May God destroy them; how misguided they are!

اتَّخَذوا أَحبارَهُم وَرُهبانَهُم أَربابًا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَالمَسيحَ ابنَ مَريَمَ وَما أُمِروا إِلّا لِيَعبُدوا إِلـٰهًا واحِدًا ۖ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۚ سُبحانَهُ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

They’ve taken their priests and saints as lords besides God; as well as the Messiah, the son of Mary. Yet, they were commanded to worship only One God. There is no god but He. Glory be to Him above what they associate with Him.

Verse 32

يُريدونَ أَن يُطفِئوا نورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفواهِهِم وَيَأبَى اللَّهُ إِلّا أَن يُتِمَّ نورَهُ وَلَو كَرِهَ الكافِرونَ

They seek to extinguish God’s light with their words, but God is insistent upon perfecting His light, despite the hatred of the unbelievers.

Verse 33

هُوَ الَّذي أَرسَلَ رَسولَهُ بِالهُدىٰ وَدينِ الحَقِّ لِيُظهِرَهُ عَلَى الدّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَو كَرِهَ المُشرِكونَ

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions, despite the hatred of the associators.

Verse 34

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ الأَحبارِ وَالرُّهبانِ لَيَأكُلونَ أَموالَ النّاسِ بِالباطِلِ وَيَصُدّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَالَّذينَ يَكنِزونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالفِضَّةَ وَلا يُنفِقونَها في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرهُم بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

O you who believe, many religious leaders and scholars consume people’s wealth wrongfully and deter from the path of God. To those who hoard gold and silver, and don’t spend it in God’s way, announce to them a painful punishment.

Verse 35

يَومَ يُحمىٰ عَلَيها في نارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكوىٰ بِها جِباهُهُم وَجُنوبُهُم وَظُهورُهُم ۖ هـٰذا ما كَنَزتُم لِأَنفُسِكُم فَذوقوا ما كُنتُم تَكنِزونَ

On the day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell, and with it their foreheads, sides, and backs will be branded: “This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you hoarded.”

Verse 36

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهورِ عِندَ اللَّهِ اثنا عَشَرَ شَهرًا في كِتابِ اللَّهِ يَومَ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ مِنها أَربَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ الدّينُ القَيِّمُ ۚ فَلا تَظلِموا فيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُم ۚ وَقاتِلُوا المُشرِكينَ كافَّةً كَما يُقاتِلونَكُم كافَّةً ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ المُتَّقينَ

Since the day God created the heavens and the earth, God ordained twelve months in a year, four of which are sanctified. This is the correct order, so make no mistake about them. Fight the polytheists collectively, as they fight you collectively, and know that God is with the righteous.
