English - Chapter 61 - As-Saf

ALL THAT is in the heavens and on the earth gives glory to God. He is the Almighty, the Wise One

Believers, why do you profess what you never do

It is most odious in God‘s sight that you should say one thing and do another

God loves those who fight for His cause in ranks as firm as a mighty edifice

Tell of Moses, who said to his people: ‘Why do you seek to harm me, my people, when you know that I am sent to you by God?‘ And when they went astray, God led their very hearts astray. God does not guide the ungodly

And of Jesus son of Mary, who said to the Israelites: ‘I am sent forth to you from God to confirm the Torah already revealed, and to give joyful tidings of an apostle that will come after me whose name is Ahmad.‘¹ Yet when he brought them conspicuous signs, they said: ‘This is sorcery manifest.‘

And who is more wicked than he that invents a falsehood about God when called to Islām? God does not guide the wrongdoers

They seek to extinguish the light of God with their mouths; but God will perfect His light, much as the infidels may dislike it

He it is who has sent forth His apostle with guidance and the Religion of Truth that he may exalt it above all religion, much as the idolaters may dislike it

Believers! Shall I point out to you a profitable course that will save you from a woeful scourge

Have faith in God and His apostle, and fight for God‘s cause with your wealth and with your persons; that would be best for you, if you but knew it

He will forgive you your sins and admit you to Gardens watered by running brooks; He will lodge you in goodly mansions in the Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph

And He will bestow upon you other blessings which you desire: help from God and a speedy victory. Proclaim the joyful tidings to the faithful

When Jesus son of Mary said to the disciples: ‘Who will come with me to the help of God?‘ the disciples replied: ‘We are God‘s helpers.‘ Some among the Israelites believed, while some did not believe. We aided the believers against their enemies, and when morning came they were triumphant
