| ||
| [YA]: How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous. [RK]:How can the idol worshipers demand any pledge from GOD and from His messenger? Exempted are those who have signed a peace treaty with you at the Sacred Masjid. If they honor and uphold such a treaty, you shall uphold it as well. GOD loves the righteous. | ||||
| 202 | [9:11] Line:1246 |
| ||
| [YA]: But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand. [RK]:If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), then they are your brethren in religion. We thus explain the revelations for people who know. | ||||

We thus explain the revelations for people who know. | ||||
| 204 | [9:13] Line:1248 |
| ||
| [YA]: Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and took the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe! [RK]:Would you not fight people who violated their treaties, tried to banish the messenger, and they are the ones who started the war in the first place? Are you afraid of them? GOD is the One you are supposed to fear, if you are believers. | ||||
| 205 | [9:14] Line:1249 |
| ||
| [YA]: Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers, [RK]:You shall fight them, for GOD will punish them at your hands, humiliate them, grant you victory over them, and cool the chests of the believers. | ||||
| 206 | [9:18] Line:1253 |
| ||
| [YA]: The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance. [RK]:The only people to frequent GOD's masjids are those who believe in GOD and the Last Day, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and do not fear except GOD. These will surely be among the guided ones. | ||||
| 207 | [9:19] Line:1254 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the pious service of) those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and strive with might and main in the cause of Allah? They are not comparable in the sight of Allah: and Allah guides not those who do wrong. [RK]:Have you considered the watering of the pilgrims and caring for the Sacred Masjid a substitute for believing in GOD and the Last Day, and striving in the cause of GOD? They are not equal in the sight of GOD. GOD does not guide the wicked people. | ||||
| 208 | [9:21] Line:1256 |
| ||
| [YA]: Their Lord doth give them glad tidings of a Mercy from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of gardens for them, wherein are delights that endure: [RK]:Their Lord gives them good news: mercy and approval from Him, and gardens where they rejoice in everlasting bliss. | ||||
| 209 | [9:24] Line:1259 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious. [RK]:Proclaim: "If your parents, your children, your siblings, your spouses, your family, the money you have earned, a business you worry about, and the homes you cherish are more beloved to you than GOD and His messenger, and the striving in His cause, then just wait until GOD brings His judgment." GOD does not guide the wicked people. | ||||
| 210 | [9:36] Line:1271 |
| ||
| [YA]: The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves. [RK]:The count of months, as far as GOD is concerned, is twelve. This has been GOD's law, since the day He created the heavens and the earth. Four of them are sacred. This is the perfect religion; you shall not wrong your souls (by fighting) during the Sacred Months. However, you may declare all-out war against the idol worshipers (even during the Sacred Months), when they declare all-out war against you, and know that GOD is on the side of the righteous. | ||||
| 211 | [9:37] Line:1272 |
| ||
| [YA]: Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith. [RK]:Altering the Sacred Months is a sign of excessive disbelief; it augments the straying of those who have disbelieved. They alternate the Sacred Months and the regular months, while preserving the number of months consecrated by GOD. They thus violate what GOD has consecrated. Their evil works are adorned in their eyes. GOD does not guide the disbelieving people. | ||||
| 212 | [9:39] Line:1274 |
| ||
| [YA]: Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things. [RK]:Unless you mobilize, He will commit you to painful retribution and substitute other people in your place; you can never hurt Him in the least. GOD is Omnipotent. | ||||
| 213 | [9:53] Line:1288 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Spend (for the cause) willingly or unwillingly: not from you will it be accepted: for ye are indeed a people rebellious and wicked." [RK]:Say, "Spend, willingly or unwillingly. Nothing will be accepted from you, for you are evil people." | ||||
| 214 | [9:56] Line:1291 |
| ||
| [YA]: They swear by Allah that they are indeed of you; but they are not of you: yet they are afraid (to appear in their true colours). [RK]:They swear by GOD that they belong with you, while they do not belong with you; they are divisive people. | ||||
| 215 | [9:68] Line:1303 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah hath promised the Hypocrites men and women, and the rejecters, of Faith, the fire of Hell: Therein shall they dwell: Sufficient is it for them: for them is the curse of Allah, and an enduring punishment,- [RK]:GOD promises the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, as well as the disbelievers, the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever. It suffices them. GOD has condemned them; they have incurred an everlasting retribution. | ||||
| 216 | [9:70] Line:1305 |
| ||
| [YA]: Hath not the story reached them of those before them?- the People of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud; the People of Abraham, the men of Midian, and the cities overthrown. To them came their messengers with clear signs. It is not Allah Who wrongs them, but they wrong their own souls. [RK]:Have they not learned anything from the previous generations; the people of Noah, `Aad, Thamood, the people of Abraham, the dwellers of Midyan, and the evildoers (of Sodom and Gomorrah)? Their messengers went to them with clear proofs. GOD never wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls. | ||||
| 217 | [9:70] Line:1305 |

| 218 | [9:71] Line:1306 |
| ||
| [YA]: The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise. [RK]:The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate righteousness and forbid evil, they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they obey GOD and His messenger. These will be showered by GOD's mercy. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise. | ||||
| 219 | [9:80] Line:1315 |
| ||
| [YA]: Whether thou ask for their forgiveness, or not, (their sin is unforgivable): if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger: and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious. [RK]:Whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them - even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times - GOD will not forgive them. This is because they disbelieve in GOD and His messenger. GOD does not guide the wicked people. | ||||
| 220 | [9:84] Line:1319 |
| ||
| [YA]: Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave; for they rejected Allah and His Messenger, and died in a state of perverse rebellion. [RK]:You shall not observe the funeral prayer for any of them when he dies, nor shall you stand at his grave. They have disbelieved in GOD and His messenger, and died in a state of wickedness. | ||||
| 221 | [9:96] Line:1331 |
| ||
| [YA]: They will swear unto you, that ye may be pleased with them but if ye are pleased with them, Allah is not pleased with those who disobey. [RK]:They swear to you, that you may pardon them. Even if you pardon them, GOD does not pardon such wicked people. | ||||
| 222 | [9:108] Line:1343 |
| ||
| [YA]: Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure. [RK]:You shall never pray in such a masjid. A masjid that is established on the basis of righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your praying therein. In it, there are people who love to be purified. GOD loves those who purify themselves. | ||||
| 223 | [9:108] Line:1343 |

GOD loves those who purify themselves. | ||||
| 224 | [9:109] Line:1344 |
| ||
| [YA]: Which then is best? - he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? - or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong. [RK]:Is one who establishes his building on the basis of reverencing GOD and to gain His approval better, or one who establishes his building on the brink of a crumbling cliff, that falls down with him into the fire of Hell? GOD does not guide the transgressing people. | ||||
| 225 | [9:115] Line:1350 |
| ||
| [YA]: And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them, in order that He may make clear to them what to fear (and avoid)- for Allah hath knowledge of all things. [RK]:GOD does not send any people astray, after He had guided them, without first pointing out for them what to expect. GOD is fully aware of all things. | ||||
| 226 | [9:122] Line:1357 |
| ||
| [YA]: Nor should the Believers all go forth together: if a contingent from every expedition remained behind, they could devote themselves to studies in religion, and admonish the people when they return to them,- that thus they (may learn) to guard themselves (against evil). [RK]:When the believers mobilize, not all of them shall do so. A few from each group shall mobilize by devoting their time to studying the religion. Thus, they can pass the knowledge on to their people when they return, that they may remain religiously informed. | ||||
| 227 | [9:127] Line:1362 |
| ||
| [YA]: Whenever there cometh down a Sura, they look at each other, (saying), "Doth anyone see you?" Then they turn aside: Allah hath turned their hearts (from the light); for they are a people that understand not. [RK]:Whenever a sura was revealed, some of them would look at each other as if to say: "Does anyone see you?" Then they left. Thus, GOD has diverted their hearts, for they are people who do not comprehend. | ||||
| 228 | [10:5] Line:1369 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand. [RK]:He is the One who rendered the sun radiant, and the moon a light, and He designed its phases that you may learn to count the years and to calculate. GOD did not create all this, except for a specific purpose. He explains the revelations for people who know. | ||||
| 229 | [10:6] Line:1370 |
| ||
| [YA]: Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day, and in all that Allah hath created, in the heavens and the earth, are signs for those who fear Him. [RK]:Surely, in the alternation of night and day, and what GOD created in the heavens and the earth, there are proofs for people who are righteous. | ||||
| 230 | [10:13] Line:1377 |
| ||
| [YA]: Generations before you We destroyed when they did wrong: their messengers came to them with clear-signs, but they would not believe! thus do We requite those who sin! [RK]:Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people. | ||||
| 231 | [10:24] Line:1388 |
| ||
| [YA]: The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect. [RK]:The analogy of this worldly life is like this: we send down water from the sky to produce with it all kinds of plants from the earth, and to provide food for the people and the animals. Then, just as the earth is perfectly adorned, and its people think that they are in control thereof, our judgment comes by night or by day, leaving it completely barren, as if nothing existed the previous day. We thus explain the revelations for people who reflect. | ||||
| 232 | [10:25] Line:1389 |
| ||
| [YA]: But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight. [RK]:GOD invites to the abode of peace, and guides whoever wills (to be guided) in a straight path. | ||||
| 233 | [10:60] Line:1424 |
| ||
| [YA]: And what think those who invent lies against Allah, of the Day of Judgment? Verily Allah is full of bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful. [RK]:Does it ever occur to those who fabricate lies about GOD that they will have to face Him on the Day of Resurrection? Certainly, GOD showers the people with His grace, but most of them are unappreciative. | ||||
| 234 | [10:67] Line:1431 |
| ||
| [YA]: He it is That hath made you the night that ye may rest therein, and the day to make things visible (to you). Verily in this are signs for those who listen (to His Message). [RK]:He is the One who rendered the night for your rest, and rendered the day lighted. These are proofs for people who can hear. | ||||
| 235 | [10:71] Line:1435 |
| ||
| [YA]: Relate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of Allah,- yet I put my trust in Allah. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite. [RK]:Recite for them the history of Noah. He said to his people, "O my people, if you find my position and my reminding you of GOD's revelations too much for you, then I put my trust in GOD. You should get together with your leaders, agree on a final decision among yourselves, then let me know it without delay. | ||||
| 236 | [10:71] Line:1435 |

| 238 | [10:74] Line:1438 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then after him We sent (many) messengers to their peoples: they brought them Clear Signs, but they would not believe what they had already rejected beforehand. Thus do We seal the hearts of the transgressors. [RK]:Then we sent after him messengers to their people, and they showed them clear proofs. But they were not to believe in what they had rejected in the past. We thus seal the hearts of the transgressors. | ||||
| 239 | [10:75] Line:1439 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then after them sent We Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our Signs. But they were arrogant: they were a people in sin. [RK]:Then we sent after them Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his group, with our proofs. But they turned arrogant; and were transgressing people. | ||||
| 240 | [10:83] Line:1447 |
| ||
| [YA]: But none believed in Moses except some children of his people, because of the fear of Pharaoh and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them; and certainly Pharaoh was mighty on the earth and one who transgressed all bounds. [RK]:None believed with Moses except a few of his people, while fearing the tyranny of Pharaoh and his elders. Surely, Pharaoh was much too arrogant on earth, and a real tyrant. | ||||
| 241 | [10:84] Line:1448 |
| ||
| [YA]: Moses said: "O my people! If ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if ye submit (your will to His)." [RK]:Moses said, "O my people, if you have really believed in GOD, then put your trust in Him, if you are really submitters." | ||||
| 242 | [10:85] Line:1449 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "In Allah do we put out trust. Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who practise oppression; [RK]:They said, "We trust in GOD. Our Lord, save us from the persecution of these oppressive people. | ||||
| 243 | [10:86] Line:1450 |
| ||
| [YA]: "And deliver us by Thy Mercy from those who reject (Thee)." [RK]:"Deliver us, with Your mercy, from the disbelieving people." | ||||
| 244 | [10:87] Line:1451 |
| ||
| [YA]: We inspired Moses and his brother with this Message: "Provide dwellings for your people in Egypt, make your dwellings into places of worship, and establish regular prayers: and give glad tidings to those who believe!" [RK]:We inspired Moses and his brother. "Maintain your homes in Egypt for the time being, turn your homes into synagogues, and maintain the Contact Prayers (Salat). Give good news to the believers." | ||||
| 245 | [10:87] Line:1451 |

| 246 | [10:89] Line:1453 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah said: "Accepted is your prayer (O Moses and Aaron)! So stand ye straight, and follow not the path of those who know not." [RK]:He said, "Your prayer has been answered (O Moses and Aaron), so be steadfast, and do not follow the ways of those who do not know." | ||||
| 247 | [10:93] Line:1457 |
| ||
| [YA]: We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best: it was after knowledge had been granted to them, that they fell into schisms. Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment. [RK]:We have endowed the Children of Israel with a position of honor, and blessed them with good provisions. Yet, they disputed when this knowledge came to them. Your Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they disputed. | ||||
| 248 | [10:98] Line:1462 |
| ||
| [YA]: Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the penalty of ignominy in the life of the present, and permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. [RK]:Any community that believes will surely be rewarded for believing. For example, the people of Jonah: when they believed, we relieved the humiliating retribution they had been suffering in this world, and we made them prosperous. | ||||
| 249 | [10:101] Line:1465 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth"; but neither Signs nor Warners profit those who believe not. [RK]:Say, "Look at all the signs in the heavens and the earth." All the proofs and all the warnings can never help people who decided to disbelieve. | ||||
| 250 | [10:105] Line:1469 |
| ||
| [YA]: "And further (thus): 'set thy face towards religion with true piety, and never in any wise be of the Unbelievers; [RK]:I was commanded: "Keep yourself devoted to the religion of monotheism; you shall not practice idol worship. | ||||
