[9:37]
Postponement (of a sacred month) is only an
excess of disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one
year and forbid it (another) year, that they may make up the number of the
months which Allah hath hallowed, so that they allow that which Allah hath
forbidden. The evil of their deeds is made fairseeming unto them. Allah guideth
not the disbelieving folk.
[9:38]
O ye who believe! What aileth you that when it
is said unto you: Go forth in the way of Allah, ye are bowed down to the ground
with heaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the Hereafter ? The comfort of the life of the world is but
little in the Hereafter.
[9:39]
If ye go not forth He will afflict you with a painful
doom, and will choose instead of you a folk other than you. Ye cannot harm Him
at all. Allah is Able to do all things.
[9:40]
If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when
those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in
the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then
Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him
with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the
nethermost, while Allah’s Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is
Mighty, Wise.
