Medina38 VersePage 507

Muhammad

He (Allah) made vain the deeds of those who deny and hindered (mankind) from the Way of Allah.

And He covered the sins and cleansed (the hearts of souls) those who believed (who wished to reach their spirit to Allah while they are alive) and did righteous deeds (the soul’s cleansing) and believed in what is sent down to Muhammad (Qur’an) and that it is the very truth from their Lord.

These are because the disbelievers to follow the Falsehood, and the âmenu ones follow the truth from their Lord. This is how Allah sets forth for mankind their situations.

So, when you meet those who disbelieve, smite their necks until they fall weak. Strengthen their ties (tie up the captives strongly). Finally, either set them free as a favor or as a ransom when the war lays down its burdens (weapons). That’s how it is. And if Allah had willed, He would certainly have taken vengeance on them. And but (this is) to test some of you with others. And those are the ones who get killed in the Way of Allah, then their deeds will not be rendered vain.

(Allah) will deliver them to Return (will carry out all their submissions) and improve their state (completely purify from the vices of their souls),

and include them in the Paradise which He has described to them.

O you who believe (who are âmenû, who wish their spirits to reach Allah before death)! If you help Allah, He will help you and make your feet firm.

And they are the disbelievers. They face destruction, and He (Allah) has made their deeds vain.

This is because they have hated what Allah has sent down. Therefore (Allah) has made their deeds null.

Have they not travelled in the earth to see how the end of those before them was? Allah destroyed them, and the disbelievers will have the like of it.

This is because Allah is the Friend of those who believe (who are âmenû) and because the disbelievers have no true Friend.

Surely Allah puts those who believe (who wish their spirits to reach Allah while they are alive) and do righteous deeds (the deeds that cleans the soul) in paradises under which the rivers flow. And those who disbelieve benefit themselves (in the world) and devour as animals devour, and the Fire is their Abode.

And We destroyed many towns which were far more powerful than the town of yours which has driven you out. Then there was no helper for them.

So, is he who is upon a clear proof from his Lord like him to whom his evil deed is made adorned and follow his vain desires? And they follow their low desires.

So, looking paradise, which is promised to the owners of takwa (spiritual armor), looks like: in it there are rivers of water whose smell does not alter, and rivers of milk the taste whereof does not turn bad, and rivers of wine tasty for drinkers, and rivers of pure honey. A variety of fruits are prepared for them there, and (in earthly life for them) there is a replacement of sins with good from their Lord. Are they (their position) like those who will forever in the Fire and who will be given boiling water to drink, from which their bowels rupture?

And some of those who listen to you said to those who have been given the knowledge after they go from your: “What did (he) say before”? These are they whose hearts Allah has sealed and they are the ones who follow their low desires.

And they are the ones who returned (their spirit to Allah), (Allah) has increased their Return (submitted their physical body, souls and will to Allah) and given them their takwa’s (spiritual armors).

Do they then wait for anything other than arrival of “the Hour”? Yet indeed the signs of it have already come. But when it (the Hour) is on them,what is the use of reminding them?

So know that there is no god but Allah, and ask replacing sins with good for your sins and for the believing men and the believing women. And Allah knows the place of your journey (in the earth) and your refuge (in the Hereafter).

And the believers say: “Should not a Sûrah (that orders war) were sent down”? Then when a clearly stated Sûrah is sent down, and fighting is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is a disease look to you with the look of one fainting because of death. Yet the most suitable for them would be –

obedience and a righteous word. But it would been better for them if they were faithful to Allah when they decide on a matter.

Or are you expected to turn back to spreading lawlessness on the earth and killing one another?

Those it is whom Allah has cursed. Therefore (Allah) has made their sense of hearing deaf and their sense of seeing blind.

Do they still not then reflect on the Qur’ân? Or do they have locks the hearts?

Surely, after the Return was clearly revealed to them (i.e., the return of the spirit to Allah while alive), Satan introduced (in disbelief) those who turned away (from Allah) and directed them to (evil) desires.

This is because they (the enemies) say to those who hate what Allah has sent down: “We will obey you in some of the affairs”. And Allah knows their secrets.

Then how will be their case when the angels cause them to die smiting their faces and their backs?

This is because they follow things that wrathful Allah and detest His pleasure. Thus, He made their deeds in vain.

Or did those in whose hearts is a disease think that Allah will not bring forth their (hidden) grudge?

And if We had willed, We would have shown them to you. Then you would have certainly recognized them by their faces. And most certainly you recognize them by the connotation of their speech, and Allah knows your deeds.

And most certainly We try you until We have known those of you who fight for the sake of Allah and the patient. And We will test your news as well.

Surely, those who deny and hinder (others) from the Way of Allah, and after the Return (submit spirit of Allah) has become clear to them, doubting, oppose the Messenger, cannot harm Allah in any way. And (Allah) will make their deeds vain.

O you who believe (who are âmenû, who wish their spirits to reach Allah before death)! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and do not make your deeds vain.

Surely, Allah will never forgive (never replace the sins for the good) of those who denied and hinder (others) from the Way of Allah, and then died disbelievers.

Since you are superior, do not show weakness and do not call (them) to peace, and Allah is with you and never decreases your deeds.

Surely the life of the world is only play and pastime. And if you believe and become the owners of takwa (spiritual armor, i.e if you wish your spirits to reach Allah before death), your rewards will be given to you and does not ask of you your possessions.

If He should to ask for it (your possessions) from you and insist, you turn stingy, and (by this) He will reveal your envy.

This is how you are. You get called upon to spend in the Way of Allah, yet some among you turn stingy, and whoever behaves stingily is only stingy because of his soul. And Allah is All-Rich and you who are poor. And if you turn away (from the Truth) He will replace you with another people, then they will not be (stingy) like you.
