Al-Hashr
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth
glorifies Allâh. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (1) He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the
Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banu An-Nadîr) from their homes at the
first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought
that their fortresses would defend them from Allâh! But Allâh's (Torment)
reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into
their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands
and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
(2) And had it not been
that Allâh had decreed exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in
this world, and in the Hereafter theirs shall be the torment of the Fire. (3)That is because they
opposed Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW). And whosoever opposes Allâh, then verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment. (4) What you (O Muslims)
cut down of the palm-trees (of the enemy), or you left them standing on their
stems, it was by Leave of Allâh, and in order that He might disgrace the
Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, the disobedient to Allâh). (5) And what Allâh gave
as booty (Fai') to His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from them — for this you made
no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allâh gives power to His
Messengers over whomsoever He wills. And Allâh is Able to do all things. (6) What Allâh gave as
booty (Fai') to His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from the people of the townships,
- it is for Allâh, His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), the kindred (of Messenger
Muhammad SAW), the orphans, Al¬Masâkin (the poor), and the wayfarer, in order
that it may not become a fortune used by the rich among you. And whatsoever the
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you,
abstain (from it)[] , And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is
Severe in punishment. (7) (And there is also a share in this booty) for the poor
emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking
Bounties from Allâh and to please Him. and helping
Allâh (i.e. helping His religion) and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW). Such are
indeed the truthful (to what they say). (8) And (it is also for) those who, before
them, had homes (in Al-Madinah) and had adopted the Faith, love those who
emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they
have been given (from the booty of Banu An-Nadîr), and give them (emigrants)
preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that. And
whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, such are
they who will be the successful. (9)And those who came after them say: "Our
Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in
our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed
full of kindness, Most Merciful. (10) Have you (O Muhammad SAW) not observed the
hypocrites who say to their friends among the people of the Scripture who
disbelieve: "(By Allâh) If you are expelled, we (too) indeed will go out
with you, and we shall never obey any one against you, and if you are attacked
(in fight), we shall indeed help you." But Allâh is Witness, that they
verily, are liars. (11) Surely, if they (the Jews) are expelled, never will they
(hypocrites) go out with them, and if they are attacked, they will never help
them. And (even) if they do help them, they (hypocrites) will turn their backs,
and they will not be victorious. (12) Verily, you (believers in the Oneness of
Allâh — Islâmic Monotheism) are more fearful in their (Jews of Banu An-Nadîr) breasts
than Allâh. That is because they are a people who comprehend not (the Majesty
and Power of Allâh). (13) They fight not against you even together, except in
fortified townships, or from behind walls. Their enmity among themselves is
very great. You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided, That is because they are a people who understand not. (14) They are like their
immediate predecessors (the Jews of Banu Qainûqâ', who suffered), they tasted
the evil result of their conduct, and (in the Hereafter, there is) for them a
painful torment. (15) (Their allies deceived them) like Shaitân (Satan), when he says
to man: "Disbelieve in Allâh." But when (man) disbelieves in Allâh,
Shaitân (Satan) says: "I am free of you, I fear Allâh, the Lord of the
'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!" (16)So the end of both
will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. Such is the recompense
of the Zâlimûn (i.e. polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in Allâh and in His
Oneness). (17) O you who believe! Fear Allâh and keep your duty to Him. And let
every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allâh.
Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what you do[]. (18) And be not like those
who forgot Allâh (i.e. became disobedient to Allâh) and He caused them to
forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are
the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). (19) Not equal are the
dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the
