وَالمُؤمِنونَ وَالمُؤمِناتُ بَعضُهُم أَولِياءُ بَعضٍ ۚ يَأمُرونَ بِالمَعروفِ وَيَنهَونَ عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَيُقيمونَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكاةَ وَيُطيعونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ سَيَرحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ

The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate righteousness, forbid evil, establish prayer, give in charity, and obey God and His Messenger. Those—God will have mercy on them. God is Mighty and Wise.

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ المُؤمِنينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها وَمَساكِنَ طَيِّبَةً في جَنّاتِ عَدنٍ ۚ وَرِضوانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَكبَرُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

God promised the believing men and women gardens through which rivers flow, where they will abide forever, and beautiful mansions in the Gardens of Eternity. But the greatest of all is God’s approval. This is the ultimate triumph.

يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جاهِدِ الكُفّارَ وَالمُنافِقينَ وَاغلُظ عَلَيهِم ۚ وَمَأواهُم جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

O Prophet, strive against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is Hell—a terrible destination.

يَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ ما قالوا وَلَقَد قالوا كَلِمَةَ الكُفرِ وَكَفَروا بَعدَ إِسلامِهِم وَهَمّوا بِما لَم يَنالوا ۚ وَما نَقَموا إِلّا أَن أَغناهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسولُهُ مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ فَإِن يَتوبوا يَكُ خَيرًا لَهُم ۖ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوا يُعَذِّبهُمُ اللَّهُ عَذابًا أَليمًا فِي الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ ۚ وَما لَهُم فِي الأَرضِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

They swear by God that they said nothing, yet they did utter words of disbelief and renounced faith after their submission. They plotted things beyond their reach. Their resentment only arises because God and His Messenger have enriched them through His favor. If they repent, it will be better for them. But if they turn away, God will severely punish them in this world and the Hereafter. They will have no protector or helper on earth.

وَمِنهُم مَن عاهَدَ اللَّهَ لَئِن آتانا مِن فَضلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

Among them are those who pledged to God: “If he gives us from his bounty, we will give in charity and be among the righteous.”

فَأَعقَبَهُم نِفاقًا في قُلوبِهِم إِلىٰ يَومِ يَلقَونَهُ بِما أَخلَفُوا اللَّهَ ما وَعَدوهُ وَبِما كانوا يَكذِبونَ

Thus, He punished them with hypocrisy in their hearts, until the Day they will meet Him, due to their breach of their promise to God and their dishonesty.

أَلَم يَعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعلَمُ سِرَّهُم وَنَجواهُم وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلّامُ الغُيوبِ

Don’t they know that God knows their secrets and their private conversations, and that God is the Knower of the unseen?

الَّذينَ يَلمِزونَ المُطَّوِّعينَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ فِي الصَّدَقاتِ وَالَّذينَ لا يَجِدونَ إِلّا جُهدَهُم فَيَسخَرونَ مِنهُم ۙ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنهُم وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Those who criticize the believers who willingly give out in charity, and ridicule those who find nothing to give except their own efforts, God will ridicule them, and they will have a painful punishment.

استَغفِر لَهُم أَو لا تَستَغفِر لَهُم إِن تَستَغفِر لَهُم سَبعينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُم ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الفاسِقينَ

Whether you ask forgiveness for them or not, even if you were to ask for it seventy times, God will not forgive them. This is because they denied God and His Messenger. God doesn’t guide the immoral people.

فَرِحَ المُخَلَّفونَ بِمَقعَدِهِم خِلافَ رَسولِ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهوا أَن يُجاهِدوا بِأَموالِهِم وَأَنفُسِهِم في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَقالوا لا تَنفِروا فِي الحَرِّ ۗ قُل نارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّا ۚ لَو كانوا يَفقَهونَ

Those who stayed behind rejoiced in staying behind the Messenger of God, and they disliked striving with their wealth and lives in God’s cause. They said, “Don’t venture out in the heat.” Say, “The fire of Hell is hotter still—if only they could understand.”
