English - Chapter 61 - As-Saf

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies God. For He ˹alone˺ is the Almighty, All-Wise

O believers! Why do you say what you do not do

How despicable it is in the sight of God that you say what you do not do

Surely God loves those who fight in His cause in ˹solid˺ ranks as if they were one concrete structure

˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Why do you hurt me when you already know I am God’s messenger to you?” So when they ˹persistently˺ deviated, God caused their hearts to deviate. For God does not guide the rebellious people

˹He will also give you˺ another favour that you long for: help from God and an imminent victory. ˹So˺ give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the believers

O believers! Stand up for God, as Jesus, son of Mary, asked the disciples, “Who will stand up with me for God?” The disciples replied, “We will stand up for God.” Then a group from the Children of Israel believed while another disbelieved. We then supported the believers against their enemies, so they prevailed
