AL-SAFF (61)

The Ranks

1. All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth extols God; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.(1)
2. O Believers, why do you say what you do not do?(2)
3. Very hateful is it to God that you say what you do not do.(3)
4. Surely God loves those who fight in His way in ranks, as if they were a compact building.(4)
5. And when Moses said to his people, `O my people, why do you hurt me, when you know that I am God's Messenger to you?' So when they swerved, God made their hearts to swerve; and God does not guide the transgressing people.(5)
6. And when Jesus, son of Mary, said, `O Children of Israel, I am God's Messenger to you, confirming what is before me of the Torah, and giving good news of a Messenger who shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad'; but when he brought them the Clear Signs, they said, `this is a manifest sorcery.'(6)
7. But who does greater wrong then he who forges falsehood against God, while he is called to surrender (Islam)? But God does not guide the wrong-doing people.(7)
8. They desire to extinguish the Light of God with their mouths, but God will perfect His Light, though the unbelievers be averse.(8)
9. It is He who has sent His Messenger with the Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may make it to prevail over all religions, though the idolaters be averse.(9)
10. O Believers, shall I point out to you a commerce that shall save you from a painful punishment?(10)
11. You shall believe in God and His Messenger, and struggle in the way of God with your wealth and your selves; that is better for you if you knew;(11)
12. He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to gardens underneath which rivers flow, and to fine residences in the gardens of eternity; that is the mighty triumph;(12)
13. and the other thing that you love __ help from God and a near victory; and give thou good news to the Believers.(13)
14. O Believers, be God's helpers, as Jesus, son of Mary, said to the disciples, `who will be my helpers towards God?' The disciples said, `we are the helpers of God'; then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved; then We aided the believers against their enemies, and they prevailed.(14)
