Surah Al Hadid

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

   Sabbaḥa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).

   Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, for He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

2. لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۚ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

   Lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), yuḥyī wa yumīt(u), wa huwa ‘alā kulli syai'in qadīr(un).

   To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. And He is Most Capable of everything.

3. هُوَ الْاَوَّلُ وَالْاٰخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ

   Huwal-awwalu wal-ākhiru waẓ-ẓāhiru wal-bāṭin(u), wa huwa bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

   He is the First and the Last, the Most High and Most Near, and He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

4. هُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۗ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيْهَاۗ وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌۗ

   Huwal-lażī khalaqas-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin ṡummastawā ‘alal-‘arsy(i), ya‘lamu mā yaliju fil-arḍi wa mā yakhruju minhā wa mā yanzilu minas-samā'i wa mā ya‘ruju fīhā, wa huwa ma‘akum aina mā kuntum, wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr(un).

   He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne. He knows whatever goes into the earth and whatever comes out of it, and whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends into it. And He is with you wherever you are. For Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

5. لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ

   Lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa ilallāhi turja‘ul-umūr(u).

   To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And to Allah all matters are returned.

6. يُوْلِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِۗ وَهُوَ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

   Yūlijul-laila fin-nahāri wa yūlijun-nahāra fil-lail(i), wa huwa ‘alīmum biżātiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

   He merges the night into day and the day into night. And He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

7. اٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَاَنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا جَعَلَكُمْ مُّسْتَخْلَفِيْنَ فِيْهِۗ فَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَاَنْفَقُوْا لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌۚ

   Āminū billāhi wa rasūlihī wa anfiqū mimmā ja‘alakum mustakhlafīna fīh(i), fal-lażīna āmanū minkum wa anfaqū lahum ajrun kabīr(un).

   Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and donate from what He has entrusted you with. So those of you who believe and donate will have a mighty reward.

8. وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ ۚوَالرَّسُوْلُ يَدْعُوْكُمْ لِتُؤْمِنُوْا بِرَبِّكُمْ وَقَدْ اَخَذَ مِيْثَاقَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

   Wa mā lakum lā tu'minūna billāh(i), war-rasūlu yad‘ūkum litu'minū birabbikum wa qad akhaża mīṡāqakum in kuntum mu'minīn(a).

   Why do you not believe in Allah while the Messenger is inviting you to have faith in your Lord, although He has already taken your covenant, if you will ever believe.

9. هُوَ الَّذِيْ يُنَزِّلُ عَلٰى عَبْدِهٖٓ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

   Huwal-lażī yunazzilu ‘alā ‘abdihī āyātim bayyinātil liyukhrijakum minaẓ-ẓulumāti ilan-nūr(i), wa innallāha bikum lara'ūfur raḥīm(un).

   He is the One Who sends down clear revelations to His servant to bring you out of darkness and into light. For indeed Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to you.

10. وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تُنْفِقُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلِلّٰهِ مِيْرَاثُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ لَا يَسْتَوِيْ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَنْفَقَ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ اَنْفَقُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوْاۗ وَكُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْحُسْنٰىۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ ࣖ

    Wa mā lakum allā tunfiqū fī sabīlillāhi wa lillāhi mīrāṡus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), lā yastawī minkum man anfaqa min qablil-fatḥi wa qātal(a), ulā'ika a‘ẓamu darajatam minal-lażīna anfaqū mim ba‘du wa qātalū, wa kullaw wa‘adallāhul-ḥusnā, wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna khabīr(un).

    And why should you not spend in the cause of Allah, while Allah is the ˹sole˺ inheritor of the heavens and the earth? Those of you who donated and fought before the victory ˹over Mecca˺ are unparalleled. They are far greater in rank than those who donated and fought afterwards. Yet Allah has promised each a fine reward. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

11. مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يُقْرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَهٗ لَهٗ وَلَهٗٓ اَجْرٌ كَرِيْمٌ

    Man żal-lażī yuqriḍullāha qarḍan ḥasanan fa yuḍā‘ifahū lahū wa lahū ajrun karīm(un).

    Who is it that will lend to Allah a good loan which Allah will multiply ˹many times over˺ for them, and they will have an honourable reward?

12. يَوْمَ تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ يَسْعٰى نُوْرُهُمْ بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَبِاَيْمَانِهِمْ بُشْرٰىكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۗ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُۚ

    Yauma taral-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti yas‘ā nūruhum baina aidīhim wa bi'aimānihim busyrākumul-yauma jannātun tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā, żālika huwal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

    On that Day you will see believing men and women with their light shining ahead of them and on their right. ˹They will be told,˺ “Today you have good news of Gardens, under which rivers flow, ˹for you˺ to stay in forever. This is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.”

13. يَوْمَ يَقُوْلُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتُ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا انْظُرُوْنَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِنْ نُّوْرِكُمْۚ قِيْلَ ارْجِعُوْا وَرَاۤءَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوْا نُوْرًاۗ فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِسُوْرٍ لَّهٗ بَابٌۗ بَاطِنُهٗ فِيْهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهٗ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُۗ

    Yauma yaqūlul-munāfiqūna wal-munāfiqātu lil-lażīna āmanunẓurūnā naqtabis min nūrikum, qīlarji‘ū warā'akum faltamisū nūrā(n), faḍuriba bainahum bisūril lahū bāb(un), bāṭinuhū fīhir-raḥmatu wa ẓāhiruhū min qibalihil-‘ażāb(u).

    On that Day hypocrite men and women will beg the believers, “Wait for us so that we may have some of your light.” It will be said ˹mockingly˺, “Go back ˹to the world˺ and seek a light ˹there˺!” Then a ˹separating˺ wall with a gate will be erected between them. On the near side will be grace and on the far side will be torment.

14. يُنَادُوْنَهُمْ اَلَمْ نَكُنْ مَّعَكُمْۗ قَالُوْا بَلٰى وَلٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنْتُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْاَمَانِيُّ حَتّٰى جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَغَرَّكُمْ بِاللّٰهِ الْغَرُوْرُ

    Yunādūnahum alam nakum ma‘akum, qālū balā wa lākinnakum fatantum anfusakum wa tarabbaṣtum wartabtum wa garratkumul-amāniyyu ḥattā jā'a amrullāhi wa garrakum billāhil-garūr(u).

    The tormented will cry out to those graced, “Were we not with you?” They will reply, “Yes ˹you were˺. But you chose to be tempted ˹by hypocrisy˺, ˹eagerly˺ awaited ˹our demise˺, doubted ˹the truth˺, and were deluded by false hopes until Allah’s decree ˹of your death˺ came to pass. And ˹so˺ the Chief Deceiver deceived you about Allah.

15. فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَّلَا مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ مَأْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُۗ هِيَ مَوْلٰىكُمْۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ

    Fal-yauma lā yu'khażu minkum fidyatuw wa lā minal-lażīna kafarū, ma'wākumun-nār(u), hiya maulākum, wa bi'sal-maṣīr(u).

    So Today no ransom will be accepted from you ˹hypocrites˺, nor from the disbelievers. Your home is the Fire—it is the ˹only˺ fitting place for you. What an evil destination!”

16. ۞ اَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّۙ وَلَا يَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ

    Alam ya'ni lil-lażīna āmanū an takhsya‘a qulūbuhum liżikrillāhi wa mā nazala minal-ḥaqq(i), wa lā yakūnū kal-lażīna ūtul-kitāba min qablu faṭāla ‘alaihimul-amadu faqasat qulūbuhum, wa kaṡīrum minhum fāsiqūn(a).

    Has the time not yet come for believers’ hearts to be humbled at the remembrance of Allah and what has been revealed of the truth, and not be like those given the Scripture before—˹those˺ who were spoiled for so long that their hearts became hardened. And many of them are ˹still˺ rebellious.

17. اِعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحْيِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَاۗ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْاٰيٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

    I‘lamū annallāha yuḥyil-arḍa ba‘da mautihā, qad bayyannā lakumul-āyāti la‘allakum ta‘qilūn(a).

    Know that Allah revives the earth after its death. We have certainly made the signs clear for you so perhaps you will understand.

18. اِنَّ الْمُصَّدِّقِيْنَ وَالْمُصَّدِّقٰتِ وَاَقْرَضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُّضٰعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ اَجْرٌ كَرِيْمٌ

    Innal-muṣṣaddiqīna wal-muṣṣaddiqāti wa aqraḍullāha qarḍan ḥasanay yuḍā‘afu lahum wa lahum ajrun karīm(un).

    Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it multiplied for them, and they will have an honourable reward.

19. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖٓ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيْقُوْنَ ۖوَالشُّهَدَاۤءُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۗ لَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ وَنُوْرُهُمْۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِيْمِ ࣖ

    Wal-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa rasūlihī ulā'ika humuṣ-ṣiddīqūn(a), wasy-syuhadā'u ‘inda rabbihim, lahum ajruhum wa nūruhum, wal-lażīna kafarū wa każżabū bi'āyātinā ulā'ika aṣḥābul-jaḥīm(i).

    ˹As for˺ those who believe in Allah and His messengers, it is they who are ˹truly˺ the people of truth. And the martyrs, with their Lord, will have their reward and their light. But ˹as for˺ those who disbelieve and reject Our signs, it is they who will be the residents of the Hellfire.

20. اِعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَّلَهْوٌ وَّزِيْنَةٌ وَّتَفَاخُرٌۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِى الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِۗ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ اَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهٗ ثُمَّ يَهِيْجُ فَتَرٰىهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُوْنُ حُطَامًاۗ وَفِى الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌۙ وَّمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ ۗوَمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَآ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُوْرِ

    I‘lamū annamal-ḥayātud-dun-yā la‘ibuw wa lahwuw wa zīnatuw wa tafākhurum bainakum wa takāṡurun fil-amwāli wal-aulād(i), kamaṡali gaiṡin a‘jabal-kuffāra nabātuhū ṡumma yahīju fatarāhu muṣfarran ṡumma yakūnu ḥuṭāmā(n), wa fil-ākhirati ‘ażābun syadīd(un), wa magfiratum minallāhi wa riḍwān(un), wa mal-ḥayātud-dun-yā illā matā‘ul-gurūr(i).

    Know that this worldly life is no more than play, amusement, luxury, mutual boasting, and competition in wealth and children. This is like rain that causes plants to grow, to the delight of the planters. But later the plants dry up and you see them wither, then they are reduced to chaff. And in the Hereafter there will be either severe punishment or forgiveness and pleasure of Allah, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment.

21. سَابِقُوْٓا اِلٰى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَاۤءِ وَالْاَرْضِۙ اُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖۗ ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤْتِيْهِ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيْمِ

    Sābiqū ilā magfiratim mir rabbikum wa jannatin ‘arḍuhā ka‘arḍis-samā'i wal-arḍ(i), u‘iddat lil-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa rasūlih(ī), żālika faḍlullāhi yu'tīhi may yasyā'(u), wallāhu żul-faḍlil-‘aẓīm(i).

    ˹So˺ compete with one another for forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. This is the favour of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.

22. مَآ اَصَابَ مِنْ مُّصِيْبَةٍ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَا فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَّبْرَاَهَا ۗاِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌۖ

    Mā aṣāba mim muṣībatin fil-arḍi wa lā fī anfusikum illā fī kitābim min qabli an nabra'ahā, inna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīr(un).

    No calamity ˹or blessing˺ occurs on earth or in yourselves without being ˹written˺ in a Record before We bring it into being. This is certainly easy for Allah.

23. لِّكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلٰى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوْا بِمَآ اٰتٰىكُمْ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُوْرٍۙ

    Likailā ta'sau ‘alā mā fātakum wa lā tafraḥū bimā ātākum, wallāhu lā yuḥibbu kulla mukhtālin fakhūr(in).

    ˹We let you know this˺ so that you neither grieve over what you have missed nor boast over what He has granted you. For Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful—

24. ۨالَّذِيْنَ يَبْخَلُوْنَ وَيَأْمُرُوْنَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ ۗوَمَنْ يَّتَوَلَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ

    Allażīna yabkhalūna wa ya'murūnan-nāsa bil-bukhl(i), wa may yatawalla fa'innallāha huwal-ganiyyul-ḥamīd(u).

    those who are stingy and promote stinginess among people. And whoever turns away ˹should know that˺ Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

25. لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ لِيَقُوْمَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِۚ وَاَنْزَلْنَا الْحَدِيْدَ فِيْهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيْدٌ وَّمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللّٰهُ مَنْ يَّنْصُرُهٗ وَرُسُلَهٗ بِالْغَيْبِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ ࣖ

    Laqad arsalnā rusulanā bil-bayyināti wa anzalnā ma‘ahumul-kitāba wal-mīzāna liyaqūman-nāsu bil-qisṭ(i), wa anzalnal-ḥadīda fīhi ba'sun syadīduw wa manāfi‘u lin-nāsi wa liya‘lamallāhu may yanṣuruhū wa rusulahū bil-gaib(i), innallāha qawiyyun ‘azīz(un).

    Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance ˹of justice˺ so that people may administer justice. And We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity, and means for Allah to prove who ˹is willing to˺ stand up for Him and His messengers without seeing Him. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.

26. وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا وَّاِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتٰبَ فَمِنْهُمْ مُّهْتَدٍۚ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ

    Wa laqad arsalnā nūḥaw wa ibrāhīma wa ja‘alnā fī żurriyyatihiman-nubuwwata wal-kitāba fa minhum muhtad(in), wa kaṡīrum minhum fāsiqūn(a).

    And indeed, We sent Noah and Abraham and reserved prophethood and revelation for their descendants. Some of them are ˹rightly˺ guided, while most are rebellious.

27. ثُمَّ قَفَّيْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيْنَا بِعِيْسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُ الْاِنْجِيْلَ ەۙ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ رَأْفَةً وَّرَحْمَةً ۗوَرَهْبَانِيَّةَ ِۨابْتَدَعُوْهَا مَا كَتَبْنٰهَا عَلَيْهِمْ اِلَّا ابْتِغَاۤءَ رِضْوَانِ اللّٰهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا ۚفَاٰتَيْنَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْهُمْ اَجْرَهُمْ ۚ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ

    Ṡumma qaffainā ‘alā āṡārihim birusulinā wa qaffainā bi‘īsabni maryama wa ātaināhul-injīl(a), wa ja‘alnā fī qulūbil-lażīnattaba‘ūhu ra'fataw wa raḥmah(tan), wa rahbāniyyatanibtada‘ūhā mā katabnā ‘alaihim illabtigā'a riḍwānillāhi famā ra‘auhā ḥaqqa ri‘āyatihā, fa'ātainal-lażīna āmanū minhum ajrahum, wa kaṡīrum minhum fāsiqūn(a).

    Then in the footsteps of these ˹prophets˺, We sent Our messengers, and ˹after them˺ We sent Jesus, son of Mary, and granted him the Gospel, and instilled compassion and mercy into the hearts of his followers. As for monasticism, they made it up—We never ordained it for them—only seeking to please Allah, yet they did not ˹even˺ observe it strictly. So We rewarded those of them who were faithful. But most of them are rebellious.

28. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاٰمِنُوْا بِرَسُوْلِهٖ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ نُوْرًا تَمْشُوْنَ بِهٖ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌۙ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanuttaqullāha wa āminū birasūlihī yu'tikum kiflaini mir raḥmatihī wa yaj‘al lakum nūran tamsyūna bihī wa yagfir lakum, wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    O people of faith! Fear Allah and believe in His Messenger. ˹And˺ He will grant you a double share of His mercy, provide you with a light to walk in ˹on Judgment Day˺, and forgive you. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

29. لِّئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ اَهْلُ الْكِتٰبِ اَلَّا يَقْدِرُوْنَ عَلٰى شَيْءٍ مِّنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَاَنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ اللّٰهِ يُؤْتِيْهِ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيْمِ ࣖ ۔

    Li'allā ya‘lama ahlul-kitābi allā yaqdirūna ‘alā syai'im min faḍlillāhi wa annal-faḍla biyadillāhi yu'tīhi may yasyā'(u), wallāhu żul-faḍlil-‘aẓīm(i).

    ˹This is so˺ that the People of the Book ˹who deny the Prophet˺ may know that they do not have any control over Allah’s grace, and that all grace is in Allah’s Hands. He grants it to whoever He wills. For Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.
