59:1  Whatever is in heavens and whatever is on earth, glorifies and Praises Allah: And He is the Exalted in Might (Al-Aziz, and) the All Wise (Al-Hakeem)

59:2  It is He, Who got out the unbelievers among the People of the Book (Scripture) from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). You did not think that they would get out: And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the (anger of) Allah came to them from sources that they had not expected, and He cast fear into their hearts, so that they demolished their houses by their own hands, and by the hands of the believers. Take warning, then, O you (people) with eyes (to see)

59:3  And, if Allah had not decided exile (and banishment) for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world: And in the Hereafter they shall have the punishment of the Fire

59:4  That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger: And if anyone opposes Allah, then surely, Allah is severe in punishment

59:5  Whether you (O Muslims!), cut down the tender palm—trees, or you left them standing on the roots, it was the willingness of Allah, and (it was) because He might cover with shame those who exceed their limits

59:6  And what (booty) Allah has (taken) from them and granted to His Messenger,— Towards this (cause) you provided neither horses nor camels: But Allah gives power to His messengers over anybody He pleases; Verily, Allah is Able (Khadir) to do all things

59:7  What Allah has granted (as booty) to His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships, —Belongs to Allah, to His Messenger, —And to relatives and the orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) be circulated between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger gives to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah; For Allah is Strict in punishment

59:8  (Some part of the booty is due) to the needy emigrants (those who came from Makkah), those who were expelled from their homes and their property, while seeking Grace from Allah, and (His) Good Pleasure, and helping Allah and His Messenger (the Prophet): Such are indeed the sincere ones:—

59:9  And (it is also for) those who before them, had homes (in Medinah) and had adopted faith (in Islam)— Show their affection to those who came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire for things in their hearts, (and had) given to the (refugees), and give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot), and those saved from the selfishness of their own souls— Such are they, the ones who are successful

59:10  And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith (of Islam), and leave not in our hearts, hate (or sense of injury) against those who believed. Our Lord! You are indeed Full of Kindness (Ra'uf), Most Merciful (Raheem)."

59:11  Have you not seen the hypocrites say to the disbelieving brethren among the People of the Book (Scripture)? "If you are forced out, we will also go out with you, and we will never listen to anyone about your affair; And if you are attacked (in fight) we will help you." But Allah sees that they are indeed liars

59:12  Surely, if they are forced out, never will they go out with them; And if they are attacked (in fight) they will never help them; And if they do help them, they will turn their backs; And they will not be victorious

59:13  (Verily), you are stronger in their breasts (and hearts of hypocrites) than Allah (because of victories won by you). That is because they are men without understanding (for the Supreme Power of Allah)

59:14  They will not fight you (even) together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Their fighting (spirit) is strong among themselves: You would think they are united, but their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people who understand not

59:15  They are like those who recently came before them, they have tasted the evil result of what they did; And (in the Hereafter there is) a painful penalty for them

59:16  (Their friends deceive them), like the Satan, when he says to man, "Deny Allah," but when (man) denies Allah, (the Satan secretively) says, "I am free of you, I do fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds (Rub-ul-'Ala'meen) !"

59:17  So the end of both will be that (both) go into the Fire, to live in there, for ever. Such is the reward for the wrongdoers

59:18  O you who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has put forward for the future. Yes, fear Allah! Verily, Allah knows well (all) that you do

59:19  And you do not be like those who forget Allah; And He caused them forget their own souls! Such are those who are rebellious

59:20  The companions of the Fire are not equal to the companions of the Garden; They will achieve the true happiness

59:21  If We sent down this Quran on a mountain, surely, you would have seen it humble itself and split open with the fear of Allah. Such are the examples that We offer men that they may (deeply) think

59:22  Allah is He, other than Whom there is no other god:— The All Knowing (Aa'lam), of the hidden and open, He, (is) the Most Gracious (Ar-Rahman), the Most Merciful (Ar-Raheem)

59:23  Allah is He, Other than Whom there is no other god:— The Sovereign Ruler (Al-Malik), the Holy One (Al-Qudus), the Source of Perfection (and Peace, As-Salaam), the Guardian of Faith (Al-Mu'min), the Preserver of Safety (Al-Muhaymin), the Exalted in Might (Al-Aziz), the Compeller (Al-Jabbar), the Supreme and Majestic (Al-Mutakabbir). Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they give to Him

59:24  He is Allah, the Creator (Al-Khaliq), the Evolver (Al-Bari), the Grantor of Forms (Al-Musawwir) to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, declares His Praises and Glory, and He is the Exalted in Might (Al-Aziz), the All Wise (Al-Hakeem)
