| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah Exile, Banishment(al-Hashr)
--- |
|---|
| 59:1 | | Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth has glorified Allah. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise |
| 59:2 | | He it is Who drove out the disbelievers from among the possessors of Al-Kitab from their homes towards the first Al-Hashr (mass exodus). You thought not that they would come out, and they (themselves) became sure that they: their fortresses are shields unto them against Allah. So Allah came to them from a place they expected not; and He cast terror in their hearts. They will destroy their houses with their (own) hands and the hands of the Believers. So take admonition, O you possessors of the eyesights |
| 59:3 | | And if (had it) not (been) that Allah decreed for them the banishment, indeed He would have punished them in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is the torment of the Fire |
| 59:4 | | That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whosoever opposes Allah, then surely Allah is severe in punishment |
| 59:5 | | Whatever you cut down of the palm-trees, or you left them standing on their stems — so it (is) with the permission of Allah; and so that He may disgrace the Fasiqun. [If it is necessary to cut down shade-providing and fruit-producing trees it could be done. We usually face these problems when we chase or mop-up the enemies of Islam during an armed encounter] |
| 59:6 | | And whatever Allah brought as Fai onto His Messenger from those enemies — you did not make an expedition therefor from cavalry, and nor from camelry. But Allah imposes as victorious His Messengers over whom He thinks proper. And Allah is All-Capable over every thing |
| 59:7 | | Whatever Allah brought as Fai onto His Messenger from the residents of the habitations — so (it is) for Allah and for His Messenger, and for those in close relationship, and the orphans, and the indigents, and the wayfarer — in order that it may not remain circulating among the rich amongst you. And whatever the Messenger gave you, take it; and whatever he asked you to avoid, then abstain from it. And pay obedience to Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in retribution |
| 59:8 | | (And this Fai is also to be distributed) to the poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes and their possessions. They seek the Bounty from Allah and (His) pleasures; and they help Allah and His Messenger. Those people: they (very ones are) the truthful |
| 59:9 | | And those who had (already) established the house and (had developed) Faith before them: they love that one who migrated towards them, and they do not find any inclination (to keep as their own) out of that Fai which they (the emigrants) have been provided; and they (sons of the soil) give preference (to the emigrants) over their ownselves — even though poverty became their own lot. And whoever has been saved from the covetousness of his own Nafs, then those people: they very ones are the successful |
| 59:10 | | And those who came (as refugees or emigrants) after these (initial emigrants), they will say: “Our Nourisher-Sustainer! Grant us Forgiveness and for our brethren who became foremost in Faith in comparison to us; and allow not in our hearts ill-feeling for those who have Believed. Our Nourisher-Sustainer! Surely You are Full of Kindness, continuously Merciful .̶ |
| 59:11 | | Have you not seen towards those who indulged in hypocrisy? They say for their brothren who have disbelieved from among the possessors of Al-Kitab: 'Surely, if you are expelled, without a shadow of doubt we would move away alongwith you people and we will not obey about you (i.e., against you) any one, ever. And if you are subjected to Qital, surely we will come to your aid'. And Allah gives testimony: "Surely they, indeed, are liars. |
| 59:12 | | If they (who are possessors of Al-Kitab yet are rebellious,) are expelled, never will come out (the hypocrites) with them. And if they are involved in Qital, (the hypocrites) shall not come to their aid. And even if they provided help to them, surely they will turn (their) backs. Afterwards they shall not be helped |
| 59:13 | | Verily, you (Believers) are more terror-creating in their chests in comparison to Allah. This is because they are a nation who comprehend not (the Majesty and Power of Allah) |
| 59:14 | | They do not indulge with you in Qital as a group, but inside fortified townships, or from behind walls. Their dissensions among themselves are severe. You assess them as united, but their hearts are divided. This is because they are a nation who do not use intellect |
| 59:15 | | Like the example of those who (passed) before them recently, they tasted the evil result of their behaviour, and for them (awaits) a painful torment |
| 59:16 | | Like the example of Satan when he said to mankind: “Disbelieve (in Allah).” But when (a certain human being) did disbelieve, he (i.e., the Satan) said: “Certainly, I stand absolved of you. Indeed I fear Allah, (the) Nourisher-Sustainer to the worlds.' |
| 59:17 | | So came the final end of those two (i.e., the Satan and the one who fell victim to his whispering) — that both of them (went) into the Fire as abiders therein. And this is the recompense for the transgressors |
| 59:18 | | O you who have Believed! Pay obedience to Allah, and let every Nafs (self) look to what she has sent forth for the morrow, and pay obedience to Allah. Verily, Allah is Well-Aware of what you practice |
| 59:19 | | And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget their own persons (and they burdened their selves with sin and crime). Those people: they (very ones are) Fasiqun |
| 59:20 | | Do not become equal, dwellers of the Fire and dwellers of the Garden. Abiders of the Garden: they (are) those who are the successful |
| 59:21 | | If We had sent down this Al-Quran unto a mountain, you would surely have seen it as a humbling one, mahead of state itself asunder out of sincerity for Allah. And these are similitudes We bring forth for mankind, perchance they may think and ponder |
| 59:22 | | He is Allah, That (One): La-ilaha-illa-Huwa. Knower of the unseen and the seen, He is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim |
| 59:23 | | He is Allah, That (One): La-ilaha-illa-Huwa. The Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace, the Bestower of Security, the Guardian (of Faith etc.), the All-Mighty, the Irresistible, the Supreme. Allah became Exalted and far above in relation to what they associate as partners (to Him) |
| 59:24 | | He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Fashioner. To Him belong the excellent Attributes. Gives glory to Him whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise |
