Surah Muhammad With English Translations

ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ ٱللّٰهِ اَضَلَّ اَعْمٰلَهُمْ (1)

Those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allah - He will waste their deeds. (1)

وَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا ٱلصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ اٰمَنُوْا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلٰىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَ اَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ (2)

But those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition. (2)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا ٱتَّبَعُوا ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَ اَنَّ ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا ٱتَّبَعُوا ٱلْحَقَّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ ٱللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ اَمْثَالَهُمْ (3)

That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allah present to the people their comparisons. (3)

فَاِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَضَرْبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتّٰىٰۤ اِذَآ اَثْخَنْتُمُوْهُمْ فَشُدُّوا ٱلْوَثَاقَ فَاِمَّا مَنًّۢا بَعْدُ وَ اِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتّٰىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلْحَرْبُ اَوْزَارَهَا ذٰلِكَ وَ لَوْ یَشَآءُ ٱللّٰهُ لَٱنْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ لِّیَبْلُوَا۟ بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ قُتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ ٱللّٰهِ فَلَنْ یُّضِلَّ اَعْمٰلَهُمْ (4)

So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [grant] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the law of Allah]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered fighting] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the way of Allah - He will never let their deeds go lost. (4)

سَیَهْدِیْهِمْ وَ یُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْ (5)

He will guide them and amend their condition (5)

وَ یُدْخِلُهُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ (6)

And admit them to Paradise, which He has made known to them. (6)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تَنْصُرُوا ٱللّٰهَ یَنْصُرْكُمْ وَ یُثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَكُمْ (7)

O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and make your feet firm. (7)

وَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَتَعْسًا لَّهُمْ وَ اَضَلَّ اَعْمٰلَهُمْ (8)

But those who disbelieve - for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds. (8)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوْا مَآ اَنْزَلَ ٱللّٰهُ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمٰلَهُمْ (9)

That is because they disliked what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds worthless. (9)

اَفَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی ٱلْاَرْضِ فَیَنْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ دَمَّرَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ اَمْثَالُهَا (10)

Have they not traveled through the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? Allah destroyed them; and for the disbelievers is something similar. (10)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ ٱللّٰهَ مَوْلَى ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ اَنَّ ٱلْكٰفِرِیْنَ لَا مَوْلٰىٰ لَهُمْ (11)

That is because Allah is the مولى [protector/guardian] of those who have believed, and because the disbelievers have no مولى [protector/guardian]. (11)

اِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ یُدْخِلُ ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا ٱلصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا ٱلْاَنْهٰرُ وَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَتَمَتَّعُوْنَ وَ یَاْكُلُوْنَ كَمَآ تَاْكُلُ ٱلْاَنْعٰمُ وَ ٱلنَّارُ مَثْوًىٰ لَّهُمْ (12)

Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow, but those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as grazing livestock eat, and the Fire will be their residence. (12)

وَ كَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ هِیَ اَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِّنْ قَرْیَتِكَ ٱلَّتِیْۤ اَخْرَجَتْكَ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ (13)

And how many a city was stronger than your city [Makkah] which drove you out? We destroyed them; and there was for them no helper. (13)

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰىٰ بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ كَمَنْ زُیِّنَ لَهٗ سُوْٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَ ٱتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ (14)

Then is one who is upon clear evidence from his Lord like one to whom his evil deed has been made attractive and they follow their [own] desires? (14)

مَثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِیْ وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُوْنَ فِیْهَآ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ مَّآءٍ غَیْرِ اٰسِنٍ وَّ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ یَتَغَیَّرْ طَعْمُهٗ وَ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ وَ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ عَسَلٍ مُّصَفًّى وَّ لَهُمْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرٰتِ وَ مَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ كَمَنْ هُوَ خٰلِدٌ فِی ٱلنَّارِ وَ سُقُوْا مَآءً حَمِیْمًا فَقَطَّعَ اَمْعَآءَهُمْ (15)

The description of Paradise which the righteous are promised: In it are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey, wherein for them is every [kind of] fruit and forgiveness from their Lord, [are they] like those who abide eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines? (15)

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّسْتَمِعُ اِلَیْكَ حَتّٰىٰۤ اِذَا خَرَجُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا ٱلْعِلْمَ مَا ذَا قَالَ اٰنِفًا اُولٰٓىٕكَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ طَبَعَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلٰىٰ قُلُوْبِهِمْ وَ ٱتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ (16)

And among them are those who listen to you, until when they depart from you, they say to those who were given knowledge, "What did he say just now?" Those are the ones upon whose hearts Allah has sealed, and they have followed their [own] desires. (16)

وَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ ٱهْتَدَوْا زَادَهُمْ هُدًى وَّ اٰتٰىهُمْ تَقْوٰىٰهُمْ (17)

But those who are guided - He increases them in guidance and gives them their righteousness. (17)

فَهَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَقَدْ جَآءَ اَشْرَاطُهَا فَاَنّٰىٰ لَهُمْ اِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرٰىهُمْ (18)

So do they await except the Hour - that it should come upon them suddenly? But already there have come [some of] its portents. Then how will they benefit from their remembrance when it has come upon them? (18)

فَٱعْلَمْ اَنَّهٗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا ٱللّٰهُ وَ ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْۢبِكَ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنٰتِ وَ ٱللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَ مَثْوٰىكُمْ (19)

So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah, and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And Allah knows of your movement and your resting place. (19)

وَ یَقُوْلُ ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَوْ لَا نُزِّلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ فَاِذَآ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ مُّحْكَمَةٌ وَّ ذُكِرَ فِیْهَا ٱلْقِتَالُ رَاَیْتَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ یَّنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ نَظَرَ ٱلْمَغْشِیِّ عَلَیْهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ فَاَوْلٰىٰ لَهُمْ (20)

Those who believe say, "Why has a surah not been revealed?" But when a decisive surah is revealed and fighting is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is hypocrisy looking at you with a look of one overcome by death. So woe to them. (20)

طَاعَةٌ وَّ قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوْفٌ فَاِذَا عَزَمَ ٱلْاَمْرُ فَلَوْ صَدَقُوا ٱللّٰهَ لَكَانَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ (21)

Obedience [to Allah] and good word [are better for them]. And when the matter [of fighting] is determined, if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them. (21)

فَهَلْ عَسَیْتُمْ اِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ اَنْ تُفْسِدُوْا فِی ٱلْاَرْضِ وَ تُقَطِّعُوْۤا اَرْحَامَكُمْ (22)

So would you perhaps, if you turned away [from faith], cause corruption in the earth and sever your [ties of] relationship? (22)

اُولٰٓىٕكَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللّٰهُ فَاَصَمَّهُمْ وَ اَعْمٰۤىٰ اَبْصٰرَهُمْ (23)

Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed, so He has made them deaf and blinded their vision. (23)

اَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ ٱلْقُرْاٰنَ اَمْ عَلٰىٰ قُلُوْبٍ اَقْفَالُهَآ (24)

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts? (24)

اِنَّ ٱلَّذِیْنَ ٱرْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۤىٰ اَدْبَارِهِمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَى ٱلشَّیْطٰنُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْ وَ اَمْلٰىٰ لَهُمْ (25)

Indeed, those who have turned back [from faith] after guidance has become clear to them - Satan has enticed them and prolonged hope for them. (25)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ كَرِهُوْا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللّٰهُ سَنُطِیْعُكُمْ فِیْ بَعْضِ ٱلْاَمْرِ وَ ٱللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِسْرَارَهُمْ (26)

That is because they said to those who disliked what Allah revealed, "We will obey you in part of the matter." And Allah knows what they conceal. (26)

فَكَیْفَ اِذَا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ ٱلْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ یَضْرِبُوْنَ وُجُوْهَهُمْ وَ اَدْبَارَهُمْ (27)

So how [will it be] when the angels take them in death, striking their faces and their backs? (27)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّبَعُوْا مَآ اَسْخَطَ ٱللّٰهَ وَ كَرِهُوْا رِضْوَانَهٗ فَاَحْبَطَ اَعْمٰلَهُمْ (28)

That is because they followed what angered Allah and disliked His pleasure, so He rendered their deeds worthless. (28)

اَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَنْ لَّنْ یُّخْرِ جَ ٱللّٰهُ اَضْغٰنَهُمْ (29)

Or do those in whose hearts is hypocrisy think that Allah will not expose their зависть [malice]? (29)

وَ لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَاَرَیْنٰكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُمْ بِسِیْمٰىٰهُمْ وَ لَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِیْ لَحْنِ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَ ٱللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اَعْمٰلَكُمْ (30)

And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their marks; but you will surely know them by the لحن [tone/manner] of [their] speech. And Allah knows your deeds. (30)

وَ لَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتّٰىٰ نَعْلَمَ ٱلْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَ ٱلصّٰبِرِیْنَ وَ نَبْلُوَا۟ اَخْبَارَكُمْ (31)

And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allah] and the patient, and We will test your affairs. (31)

اِنَّ ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ ٱللّٰهِ وَ شَآقُّوا ٱلرَّسُوْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدٰى لَنْ یَّضُرُّوا ٱللّٰهَ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ سَیُحْبِطُ اَعْمٰلَهُمْ (32)

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the way of Allah and opposed the Messenger after guidance had become clear to them - never will they harm Allah at all, and He will render their deeds worthless. (32)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِیْعُوا ٱللّٰهَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا ٱلرَّسُوْلَ وَ لَا تُبْطِلُوْۤا اَعْمٰلَكُمْ (33)

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and do not invalidate your deeds. (33)

اِنَّ ٱلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ ٱللّٰهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوْا وَ هُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَنْ یَّغْفِرَ ٱللّٰهُ لَهُمْ (34)

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the way of Allah and then died while they were disbelievers - never will Allah forgive them. (34)

فَلَا تَهِنُوْا وَ تَدْعُوْۤا اِلَى ٱلسَّلْمِ وَ اَنْتُمُ ٱلْاَعْلَوْنَ وَ ٱللّٰهُ مَعَكُمْ وَ لَنْ یَّتِرَكُمْ اَعْمٰلَكُمْ (35)

So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward for] your deeds. (35)

اِنَّمَا ٱلْحَیٰوةُ ٱلدُّنْیَا لَعِبٌ وَّ لَهْوٌ وَ اِنْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَ تَتَّقُوْا یُؤْتِكُمْ اُجُوْرَكُمْ وَ لَا یَسْــٴَـلْكُمْ اَمْوَالَكُمْ (36)

The life of this world is but amusement and diversion; and if you believe and fear Allah, He will grant you your rewards and will not ask you for [all of] your wealth. (36)

اِنْ یَّسْــٴَـلْكُمُوْهَا فَیُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوْا وَ یُخْرِ جْ اَضْغٰنَكُمْ (37)

If He should ask you for it and press you, you would withhold, and He would expose your зависть [resentment]. (37)

هٰۤاَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنْفِقُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ ٱللّٰهِ فَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یَّبْخَلُ وَ مَنْ یَّبْخَلْ فَاِنَّمَا یَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ وَ ٱللّٰهُ ٱلْغَنِیُّ وَ اَنْتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ وَ اِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا یَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا یَكُوْنُوْۤا اَمْثَالَكُمْ (38)

Here you are - those invited to spend in the way of Allah - but among you are those who withhold [out of miserliness]. And whoever withholds only withholds from himself; and Allah is the Free of need, and you are the needy. And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you. (38)
