بَرَآءَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ١

[9:1] This is a declaration of disavowal by Allah and His Messenger to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity and with whom you have made treaties:

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Elan e baraat (immunity) hai Allah aur uske Rasool ki taraf se un mushrikeen ko jinsey tumne muhaidey (treaties) kiye thay

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَسِيحُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَرۡبَعَةَ أَشۡهُرٖ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡزِي ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٢

[9:2] "You may go about freely in the land, for four months, but know well that you will not be able to frustrate Allah, and that Allah will bring disgrace upon those who deny the Truth."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Pas tum log mulk mein char (four) mahine aur chal phir lo aur jaan rakkho ke tum Allah ko aajiz (frustrate) karne waley nahin ho, aur yeh ke Allah munkireen e haqq ko ruswa karne wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَأَذَٰنٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَجِّ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ فَإِن تُبۡتُمۡ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٣

[9:3] This is a public proclamation by Allah and His Messenger to all people on the day of the Great Pilgrimage: "Allah is free from all obligation to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity; and so is His Messenger. If you repent, it shall be for your own good; but if you turn away, then know well that you will not be able to frustrate Allah. So give glad tidings of a painful chastisement to those who disbelieve.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ittila-e-aam hai Allah aur uske Rasool ki taraf se hajj e Akbar ke din tamaam logon ke liye ke Allah mushrikeen se bari uz-zimma (free from the treaty obligations ) hai aur uska Rasool bhi. Ab agar tum log tawba karlo to tumhare hi liye behtar hai aur jo mooh pherte ho to khoob samajh lo ke tum Allah ko aajiz karne waley nahin ho. Aur (aey Nabi), inkar karne walon ko sakht azaab ki khushkhabri suna do

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَنقُصُوكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَمۡ يُظَٰهِرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَحَدٗا فَأَتِمُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡ عَهۡدَهُمۡ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤

[9:4] In exception to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity are those with whom you have made treaties and who have not violated their treaties nor have backed up anyone against you. Fulfil your treaties with them till the end of their term. Surely Allah loves the pious."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Bajuz un mushrikeen ke jinsey tumne muhaide (treaties) kiya phir unhon ne apne ahad ko poora karne mein tumhare saath koi kami nahin ki aur na tumhare khilaf kisi ki madad ki, to aisey logon ke saath tum bhi muddat e muhaida tak wafa karo kyunke Allah muttaqiyon (poious) hi ko pasand karta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلۡأَشۡهُرُ ٱلۡحُرُمُ فَٱقۡتُلُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ حَيۡثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡ وَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱحۡصُرُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡعُدُواْ لَهُمۡ كُلَّ مَرۡصَدٖۚ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٥

[9:5] But when the sacred months expire slay those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity wherever you find them; seize them, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them. But if they repent and establish the Prayer and pay Zakah, leave them alone. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Pas jab haraam mahine guzar jayein to mushrikeen ko qatal karo jahan pao aur unhein pakado aur ghero aur har ghaath (ambush) mein unki khabar lene ke liye baitho. Phir agar woh tawba karlein aur namaz qayam karein aur zakaat dein to unhein chodh do. Allah darguzar karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَإِنۡ أَحَدٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٱسۡتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرۡهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسۡمَعَ كَلَٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبۡلِغۡهُ مَأۡمَنَهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦

[9:6] And if any of those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity seeks asylum, grant him asylum that he may hear the Word of Allah, and then escort him to safety for they are a people who do not know.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur agar mushrikeen mein se koi shaks panaah maang kar tumhare paas aana chahe (taa-ke Allah ka kalaam suney) to usey panaah de do yahan tak ke woh Allah ka kalaam sunle phir usey uske maman (place of safety) tak pahuncha do, Yeh is liye karna chahiye ke yeh log ilm nahin rakhte

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

كَيۡفَ يَكُونُ لِلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ عَهۡدٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ رَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّمۡ عِندَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِۖ فَمَا ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ لَكُمۡ فَٱسۡتَقِيمُواْ لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٧

[9:7] How can there be a covenant with those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity be binding upon Allah and His Messenger, excepting those with whom you made a covenant near the Sacred Mosque? Behave in a straight manner with them so long as they behave with you in a straight manner for Allah loves the Godfearing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In mushrikeen ke liye Allah aur uske Rasool ke nazdeek koi ahad aakhir kaise ho sakta hai? Bajuz un logon ke jinsey tumne masjid e haraam ke paas muhaida kiya tha, to jab tak woh tumhare saath seedhe rahein tum bhi unke saath seedhe raho kyunke Allah muttaqiyon ko pasand karta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

كَيۡفَ وَإِن يَظۡهَرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَا يَرۡقُبُواْ فِيكُمۡ إِلّٗا وَلَا ذِمَّةٗۚ يُرۡضُونَكُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَتَأۡبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ ٨

[9:8] How can there be any covenant with the other polytheists for were they to prevail against you, they will respect neither kinship nor agreement. They seek to please you with their tongues while their hearts are averse to you, and most of them are wicked.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Magar inke siwa dusre mushrikeen ke saath koi ahad kaise ho sakta hai jabke unka haal yeh hai ke tumpar qaabu paa jayein to na tumhare maamle mein kisi qarabat ka lihaz karein na kisi muhaide ki zimmedari ka. Woh apni zubaano se tumko razi karne ki koshish karte hain magar dil unke inkar karte hain aur unmein se aksar faasiq hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱشۡتَرَوۡاْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗا فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٩

[9:9] They have sold the revelations of Allah for a paltry price and have firmly hindered people from His Path. Evil indeed is what they have done.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unhon ne Allah ki aayat ke badle thodi si keemat qabool karli phir Allah ke raaste mein sadde-raah bankar khade ho gaye (debarred others from His Way), bahut burey kartoot thay jo yeh karte rahey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَا يَرۡقُبُونَ فِي مُؤۡمِنٍ إِلّٗا وَلَا ذِمَّةٗۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدُونَ ١٠

[9:10] They neither have any respect for kinship nor for agreement in respect of the believers. Such are indeed transgressors.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kisi momin ke maamle mein na yeh qarabat(kindred) ka lihaz karte hain aur na kisi ahad ki zimmedari ka aur zyadati hamesha inhi ki taraf se hui hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَإِخۡوَٰنُكُمۡ فِي ٱلدِّينِۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ ١١

[9:11] But if they repent and establish Prayer and give Zakah they are your brothers in faith. Thus do We expound Our revelations to those who know.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Pas agar yeh tawba karlein aur namaz qayam karein aur zakaat dein to tumhare deeni bhai hain aur janney walon ke liye hum apne ehkaam wazeh kiye dete hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَإِن نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ عَهۡدِهِمۡ وَطَعَنُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ فَقَٰتِلُوٓاْ أَئِمَّةَ ٱلۡكُفۡرِ إِنَّهُمۡ لَآ أَيۡمَٰنَ لَهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَنتَهُونَ ١٢

[9:12] But if they break their pledges after making them and attack your faith, make war on the leaders of unbelief that they may desist, for they have no regard for their pledged words.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur agar ahad karne ke baad yeh phir apni kasamon ko todh dalein aur tumhare deen par hamle karne shuru kardein to kufr ke alam-bardaaron (ringleaders) se jung karo kyunke unki kasamon ka koi aitbaar nahin, shayad ke (phir talwar hi ke zoar se) woh baaz ayenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَلَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ قَوۡمٗا نَّكَثُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ وَهَمُّواْ بِإِخۡرَاجِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۚ أَتَخۡشَوۡنَهُمۡۚ فَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخۡشَوۡهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ١٣

[9:13] Will you not fight against those who broke their pledges and did all they could to drive the Messenger away and initiated hostilities against you? Do you fear them? Surely Allah has greater right that you should fear Him, if you are true believers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya tum na ladogey (fight) aisey logon se jo apne ahad todte rahey hain aur jinhon ne Rasool ko mulk se nikal dene ka qasd (conspire) kiya tha aur zyadati ki ibteda karne waley wahi thay? Kya tum unsey darte ho? Agar tum momin ho to Allah iska ziyada mustahiq hai ke ussey daro

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قَٰتِلُوهُمۡ يُعَذِّبۡهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِأَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَيُخۡزِهِمۡ وَيَنصُرۡكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَيَشۡفِ صُدُورَ قَوۡمٖ مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ١٤

[9:14] Make war on them. Allah will chastise them through you and will humiliate them. He will grant you victory over them, and will soothe the bosoms of those who believe,

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unse lado (fight) , Allah tumhare haathon se unko saza dilwayega aur unhein zaleel o khwar karega aur unke muqable mein tumhari madad karega aur bahut se momino ke dil thanday karega

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَيُذۡهِبۡ غَيۡظَ قُلُوبِهِمۡۗ وَيَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١٥

[9:15] and will remove rage from their hearts, and will enable whomsoever He wills to repent. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur unke quloob (dilon) ki jalan mita dega, aur jisey chahega tawba ki taufeeq bhi dega. Allah sab kuch jaanney wala aur dana(wise) hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَمۡ حَسِبۡتُمۡ أَن تُتۡرَكُواْ وَلَمَّا يَعۡلَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَلَمۡ يَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا رَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَلِيجَةٗۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٦

[9:16] Do you imagine that you will be spared without being subjected to any test? Know well that Allah has not yet determined who strove hard (in His cause), and has not taken any others instead of His Messenger and the believers as his trusted allies? Allah is well aware of all that you do.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya tum logon ne yeh samajh rakkha hai ke yunhi chodh diye jaogey halanke abhi Allah ne yeh to dekha hi nahin ke tum mein se kaun woh log hain jinhon ne (uski raah mein) jaanfishani (exerted your utmost) ki aur Allah aur uske Rasool aur momineen ke siwa kisi ko jigri dost na banaya, jo kuch tum karte ho Allah ussey ba-khabar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

مَا كَانَ لِلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ أَن يَعۡمُرُواْ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ شَٰهِدِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِم بِٱلۡكُفۡرِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ وَفِي ٱلنَّارِ هُمۡ خَٰلِدُونَ ١٧

[9:17] It does not become those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity to visit and tend Allah's mosques while they bear witness of unbelief against themselves. All their works have gone to waste. They shall abide in the Fire.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Mushrikeen ka yeh kaam nahin hai ke woh Allah ki masjidon ke mujawar o khadim banein, daran haal yeh ke apne upar woh khud kufr ki shahadat de rahey hain. Unke to saarey aamal zaya ho gaye aur jahannum mein unhein hamesha rehna hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِنَّمَا يَعۡمُرُ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَلَمۡ يَخۡشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ فَعَسَىٰٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَن يَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ ١٨

[9:18] It only becomes those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish Prayer and pay Zakah and fear none but Allah to visit and tend the mosques of Allah. These are likely to be guided aright.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ki masjidon ke aabad-kaar (mujawar o khadim) to wahi log ho sakte hain jo Allah aur roz-e-aakhir ko manein aur namaz qayam karein, zakaat dein aur Allah ke siwa kisi se na darein , unhi se yeh tawaqqu hai ke seedhi raah chalenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ أَجَعَلۡتُمۡ سِقَايَةَ ٱلۡحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ كَمَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَجَٰهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ لَا يَسۡتَوُۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٩

[9:19] Do you consider providing water to the Pilgrims and tending the Sacred Mosque equal in worth to believing in Allah and the Last Day and striving in the cause of Allah? The two are not equal with Allah. Allah does not direct the wrong-doing folk to the Right Way.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya tum logon ne hajiyon ko pani peelaney aur masjid e haraam (khane kaaba) ki mujawari karne ko us shaks ke kaam ke barabar thehra liya hai jo iman laya Allah par aur roz e aakhir par aur jisne jaanfishani (exerted his utmost) ki Allah ki raah mein? Allah ke nazdeek to yeh dono barabar nahin hain aur Allah zalimon ki rehnumayi nahin karta

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهَاجَرُواْ وَجَٰهَدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡ أَعۡظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ ٢٠

[9:20] The higher rank with Allah is for those who believed and migrated and strove in His cause with their belongings and their persons. It is they who are triumphant.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ke haan to unhi logon ka darja bada hai jo iman laye aur jinhon ne uski raah mein ghar baar chodey aur jaan o maal se jihad kiya, wahi kamiyaab hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يُبَشِّرُهُمۡ رَبُّهُم بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنۡهُ وَرِضۡوَٰنٖ وَجَنَّٰتٖ لَّهُمۡ فِيهَا نَعِيمٞ مُّقِيمٌ ٢١

[9:21] Their Lord gives them glad tidings of mercy from Him and of His good pleasure. For them await Gardens of eternal bliss.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unka Rubb unhein apni rehmat aur khushnudi aur aisi jannaton ki basharat deta hai jahan unke liye payedaar aish ke samaan hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ ٢٢

[9:22] Therein they shall abide forever. Surely with Allah a mighty reward awaits them.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unmein woh hamesha rahenge, yaqeenan Allah ke paas khidmaat ka sila dene ko bahut kuch hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ ءَابَآءَكُمۡ وَإِخۡوَٰنَكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ عَلَى ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمۡ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٢٣

[9:23] Believers, do not take your fathers and your brothers for your allies if they choose unbelief in preference to belief. Whosoever of you takes them as allies those are wrong-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo imaan laye ho, apne baapon aur bhaiyon ko bhi apna rafeeq (allies) na banao agar woh iman par kufr ko tarjeeh (prefrence) dein, tum mein se jo unko rafeeq(allies) banayenge wahi zalim honge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ إِن كَانَ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡ وَأَبۡنَآؤُكُمۡ وَإِخۡوَٰنُكُمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجُكُمۡ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمۡ وَأَمۡوَٰلٌ ٱقۡتَرَفۡتُمُوهَا وَتِجَٰرَةٞ تَخۡشَوۡنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَٰكِنُ تَرۡضَوۡنَهَآ أَحَبَّ إِلَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَجِهَادٖ فِي سَبِيلِهِۦ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ٢٤

[9:24] Tell them, (O Prophet): "If your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your wives and your tribe and the riches you have acquired and the commerce of which you fear a slackening, and the dwellings that you love, if they are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His cause, then wait until Allah brings about His decree. Allah does not guide the evil-doing folk."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi), kehdo ke agar tumhare baap aur tumhare bete, aur tumhare bhai, aur tumhari biwiyan aur tumhare aziz-o-aqareb (near and dear ones) aur tumhare woh maal jo tumne kamaye hain, aur tumhare woh karobar (business) jinke maandh (decline) padh janey ka tumko khauf hai aur tumhare woh ghar jo tumko pasand hain, tumko Allah aur uske Rasool aur uski raah mein jihad se azeez-tar hain to intezar karo yahan tak ke Allah apna faisla tumhare saamne le aaye, aur Allah faasiq logon ki rehnumayi nahin kiya karta

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَقَدۡ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِي مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٖ وَيَوۡمَ حُنَيۡنٍ إِذۡ أَعۡجَبَتۡكُمۡ كَثۡرَتُكُمۡ فَلَمۡ تُغۡنِ عَنكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتۡ ثُمَّ وَلَّيۡتُم مُّدۡبِرِينَ ٢٥

[9:25] Surely Allah has succoured you before on many a battlefield, and (you have yourselves witnessed His succour to you) on the day of Hunayn when your numbers made you proud, but they did you no good, and the earth, for all its vastness, constrained you, and you turned your backs in retreat.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah issey pehle bahut se mawaqe (occassions) par tumhari madad kar chuka hai, abhi gazwa e hunain ke roz (uski dastgiri ki shaan tum dekh chuke ho) ,us roz tumhein apni kasrat e tadaad ka garrah (proud) tha magar woh tumhare kuch kaam na aayi aur zameen apni wusat ke bawajood tumpar tangg ho gayi aur tum peeth pher kar bhaag nikle

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَعَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودٗا لَّمۡ تَرَوۡهَا وَعَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٢٦

[9:26] Then Allah caused His tranquillity to descend upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and He sent down hosts whom you did not see, and chastised those who disbelieved. Such is the recompense of those who deny the Truth.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir Allah ne apni sakeenat Rasool par aur mominin par nazil farmayi aur woh lashkar utarey jo tumko nazar na aate thay aur munkireen e haqq ko saza di ke yahi badla hai un logon ke liye jo haqq ka inkar karein

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٢٧

[9:27] Then (after so chastising the unbelievers), Allah enables, whomsoever He wills, to repent. Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir (tum yeh bhi dekh chuke ho ke) is tarah saza dene ke baad Allah jisko chahta hai tawba ki taufeeq bhi baksh deta hai, Allah darguzar karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُشۡرِكُونَ نَجَسٞ فَلَا يَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ بَعۡدَ عَامِهِمۡ هَٰذَاۚ وَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ عَيۡلَةٗ فَسَوۡفَ يُغۡنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٢٨

[9:28] Believers, those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity are unclean. So, after the expiry of this year, let them not even go near the Sacred Mosque. And should you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His bounty, if He wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey iman laney walon, mushrikeen napaak hain, lihaza is saal ke baad yeh masjid-e-haraam ke qareeb na phatakne payein, aur agar tumhein tangdasti ka khauf hai to baeed nahin ke Allah chahe to tumhein apne fazl se gani karde, Allah aleem o hakeem hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قَٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلۡحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعۡطُواْ ٱلۡجِزۡيَةَ عَن يَدٖ وَهُمۡ صَٰغِرُونَ ٢٩

[9:29] Those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day - even though they were given the scriptures, and who do not hold as unlawful that which Allah and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, and who do not follow the true religion - fight against them until they pay tribute out of their hand and are utterly subdued.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jung karo ehle kitaab mein se un logon ke khilaf jo Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman nahin latey aur jo kuch Allah aur uske Rasool ne haraam qarar diya hai usey haraam nahin karte aur deen e haqq ko apna deen nahin banate. (Unsey lado) yahan tak ke woh apne haath se jiziya dein aur chotey bankar rahein

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ عُزَيۡرٌ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَى ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوۡلُهُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡۖ يُضَٰهِـُٔونَ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبۡلُۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٣٠

[9:30] The Jews say: "Ezra ('Uzayr) is Allah's son," and the Christians say: "The Messiah is the son of Allah." These are merely verbal assertions in imitation of the sayings of those unbelievers who preceded them. May Allah ruin them. How do they turn away from the Truth?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yahudi kehte hain ke Uzair Allah ka beta hai aur isayi kehte hain ke Maseeh Allah ka beta hai. Yeh be-haqeeqat baatein hain jo woh apni zubaano se nikalte hain un logon ki dekha dekhi jo unsey pehle kufr mein mubtila huey thay. Khuda ki maar inpar, yeh kahan se dhoka kha rahey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدٗاۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣١

[9:31] They take their rabbis and their monks for their lords apart from Allah, and also the Messiah, son of Mary, whereas they were commanded to worship none but the One True God. There is no god but He. Exalted be He above those whom they associate with Him in His Divinity.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inhon ne apne ulema aur darweshiyon ko Allah ke siwa apna Rubb bana liya hai aur isi tarah Maseeh ibn Maryam ko bhi, halanke inko ek mabood ke siwa kisi ki bandagi karne ka hukum nahin diya gaya tha, woh jiske siwa koi mustahiq e ibadat nahin. Paak hai woh in mushrikana baaton se jo yeh log karte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطۡفِـُٔواْ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَيَأۡبَى ٱللَّهُ إِلَّآ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُۥ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ٣٢

[9:32] They seek to extinguish the light of Allah by blowing through their mouths; but Allah refuses everything except that He will perfect His light howsoever the unbelievers might abhor it.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh log chahte hain Allah ki roshni ko apni phoonkon se bujha dein magar Allah apni roshni ko mukammal kiye bagair maanne wala nahin hai khwah kafiron ko yeh kitna hi nagawaar ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُظۡهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكُونَ ٣٣

[9:33] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the True Religion that He may make it prevail over all religions, howsoever those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity might detest it.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh Allah hi hai jisne apne Rasool ko haidayat aur deen e haqq ke saath bheja taa-ke usey poori jins e deen par gaalib karde khwa mushrikon ko yeh kitna hi nagawaar ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡبَارِ وَٱلرُّهۡبَانِ لَيَأۡكُلُونَ أَمۡوَٰلَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡنِزُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلۡفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٣٤

[9:34] Believers! Many of the rabbis and monks wrongfully devour mankind's possessions and hinder people from the Way of Allah. And there are those who amass gold and silver and do not spend it in the Way of Allah. Announce to them the tidings of a painful chastisement

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey iman laney walon , in ehle kitab ke aksar ulema aur darweshon(monks) ka haal yeh hai ke woh logon ke maal baatil tareeqon se khate hain aur unhein Allah ki raah se rokte hain. Dardnaak saza ki khush-khabri do unko jo soney aur chandi jama karke rakhte hain aur uhnein khuda ki raah mein kharch nahin karte

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَوۡمَ يُحۡمَىٰ عَلَيۡهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكۡوَىٰ بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمۡ وَجُنُوبُهُمۡ وَظُهُورُهُمۡۖ هَٰذَا مَا كَنَزۡتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡنِزُونَ ٣٥

[9:35] on a Day when they shall be heated up in the Fire of Hell, and their foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be branded with it, (and they shall be told): "This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves. Taste, then, the punishment for what you have hoarded."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ek din aayega ke isi soney(gold) aur chandi par jahannum ki aag dhehkayi jayegi aur phir isi se un logon ki peshaniyon aur pehluon aur peethon ko daaga jayega, yeh hai woh khazana jo tumne apne liye jama kiya tha , lo ab apni samethi hui daulat ka maza chakkho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثۡنَا عَشَرَ شَهۡرٗا فِي كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوۡمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۡهَآ أَرۡبَعَةٌ حُرُمٞۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمُۚ فَلَا تَظۡلِمُواْ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمۡۚ وَقَٰتِلُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ كَآفَّةٗ كَمَا يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمۡ كَآفَّةٗۚ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٣٦

[9:36] Surely the reckoning of months, in the sight of Allah, is twelve months, laid down in Allah's decree on the day when He created the heavens and the earth; and out of these months four are sacred. That is the true ordainment. Do not, therefore, wrong yourselves, with respect to these months. And fight all together against those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity in the manner that they fight against you all together, and know well that Allah is with the God-fearing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke mahino ki tadaad jab se Allah ne aasmaan o zameen ko paida kiya hai Allah ke nawishte (record) mein bara (twelve) hi hai, aur inmein se chaar mahine haraam hain. Yahi theek zaabta hai lihaza in chaar (four) mahino mein apne upar zulm na karo aur mushrikon se sab milkar lado (fight) jis tarah woh sab milkar tumse ladte hain aur jaan rakkho ke Allah muttaqiyon hi ke saath hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّسِيٓءُ زِيَادَةٞ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُحِلُّونَهُۥ عَامٗا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ عَامٗا لِّيُوَاطِـُٔواْ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّواْ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ أَعۡمَٰلِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٣٧

[9:37] The intercalation (of sacred months) is an act of gross infidelity which causes the unbelievers to be led further astray. They declare a month to be lawful in one year and forbidden in another year in order that they may conform to the number of months that Allah has declared as sacred, and at the same time make lawful what Allah has forbidden. Their foul acts seem fair to them. Allah does not direct those who deny the Truth to the Right Way.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

‘Nasi’ [the postponing (of restrictions within sacred months)] to kufr mein ek mazeed kafirana harakat hai jissey yeh kaafir log gumraahi mein mubtila kiye jatey hain. Kisi saal ek mahine ko halal karlete hain aur kisi saal usko haram kardete hain, taa-ke Allah ke haram kiye huey mahino ki tadaad puri bhi kardein aur Allah ka haram kiya hua halal bhi karlein. Inke burey aamal inke liye khushnuma bana diye gaye hain aur Allah munkireen e haqq ko hidayat nahin diya karta

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَا لَكُمۡ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ أَرَضِيتُم بِٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ٣٨

[9:38] Believers! What is amiss with you that when it is said to you: "March forth in the cause of Allah," you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the worldly life to the Hereafter? Know well that all the enjoyment of this world, in comparison with the Hereafter, is trivial.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, tumhein kya ho gaya ke jab tumse Allah ki raah mein nikalne ke liye kaha gaya to tum zameen se chimat kar reh gaye? Kya tumne aakhirat ke muqable mein duniya ki zindagi ko pasand karliya? Aisa hai to tumhein maloom ho ke dunyavi zindagi ka yeh sab sar-o-samaan aakhirat mein bahut thoda niklega

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِلَّا تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا وَيَسۡتَبۡدِلۡ قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيۡـٔٗاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٣٩

[9:39] If you do not march forth, Allah will chastise you grievously and will replace you by another people, while you will in no way be able to harm Him. Allah has power over everything.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum na uthoge to khuda tumhein dardnaak saza dega, aur tumhari jagah kisi aur giroh ko uthayega, aur tum khuda ka kuch bhi na bigaad sakogey, woh har cheez par qudrat rakhta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدۡ نَصَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِذۡ أَخۡرَجَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثَانِيَ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ إِذۡ هُمَا فِي ٱلۡغَارِ إِذۡ يَقُولُ لِصَٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحۡزَنۡ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَاۖ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِ وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٖ لَّمۡ تَرَوۡهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلسُّفۡلَىٰۗ وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللَّهِ هِيَ ٱلۡعُلۡيَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٤٠

[9:40] It will matter little if you do not help the Prophet, for Allah surely helped him when the unbelievers drove him out of his home and he was but one of the two when they were in the cave, and when he said to his companion: "Do not grieve. Allah is with us." Then Allah caused His tranquillity to descend upon him, and supported him with hosts you did not see, He humbled the word of the unbelievers. As for Allah's Word, it is inherently uppermost. Allah is All-Powerful, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumne agar Nabi ki madad na ki to kuch parwah nahin, Allah uski madad us waqt kar chuka hai jab kafiron ne usey nikal diya tha, jab woh sirf do mein ka dusra tha , jab woh dono ghaar (cave) mein thay, jab woh apne saathi se keh raha tha ke “ gham na kar, Allah hamare saath hai” us waqt Allah ne uspar apni taraf se sukoon e qalb (dil ka sukoon) nazil kiya aur uski madad aisey lashkaron se ki jo tumko nazar na aate thay, aur kafiron ka bol nicha kardiya aur Allah ka bol to unhca hi hai. Allah zabardast aur dana o beena hai (All-Mighty, All-Wise)

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱنفِرُواْ خِفَافٗا وَثِقَالٗا وَجَٰهِدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡ وَأَنفُسِكُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٤١

[9:41] March forth whether light or heavy, and strive in the way of Allah with your belongings and your lives. That is best for you if you only knew it.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Niklo, khwa halke ho ya bojhal, aur jihad karo Allah ki raah mein apne maalon aur apni jaano ke saath, yeh tumhare liye behtar hai agar tum jaano

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَوۡ كَانَ عَرَضٗا قَرِيبٗا وَسَفَرٗا قَاصِدٗا لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَٰكِنۢ بَعُدَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلشُّقَّةُۚ وَسَيَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَوِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡنَا لَخَرَجۡنَا مَعَكُمۡ يُهۡلِكُونَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ٤٢

[9:42] Were it a gain at hand or a short journey, they would have surely followed you, but the distance seemed too far to them. Still they will swear by Allah: "If only we could, we would surely have gone forth with you." They merely bring ruin upon themselves. Allah knows well that they are liars.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi), agar faiyda sahal-ul-husool (prospect of immediate gain) ho aur safar halka hota to woh zaroor tumhare peechey chalne par aamada ho jatey. Magar unpar to yeh raasta bahut kathin (hard) ho gaya. Ab woh khuda ki kasam kha kha kar kahenge ke agar hum chal sakte to yaqeenan tumhare saath chalte. Woh apne aap ko halakat mein daal rahey hain, Allah khoob jaanta hai ke woh jhootey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنكَ لِمَ أَذِنتَ لَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَتَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ ٤٣

[9:43] (O Prophet), may Allah forgive you! Why did you give them leave to stay behind before it became clear to you as to who were truthful and who were liars?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi), Allah tumhein maaf karey, tumne kyun unhein ruksat de di?(tumhein chahiye tha ke khud ruksat na dete) taa-ke tumpar khul jata ke kaun log sacchey hain aur jhooton (liars) ko bhi tum jaan letey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَا يَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ أَن يُجَٰهِدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤٤

[9:44] Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day will never ask your leave to be excused from striving (in the cause of Allah) with their belongings and their lives. Allah fully knows the God-fearing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jo log Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman rakhte hain woh to kabhi tumse yeh darkhwast (request) na karenge ke unhein na apni jaan o maal ke saath jihad karne se maaf rakkha jaye, Allah muttaqiyon ko khoob jaanta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِنَّمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَٱرۡتَابَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِي رَيۡبِهِمۡ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ ٤٥

[9:45] It is only those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, and whose hearts are filled with doubt that seek exemption from striving (in the cause of Allah). They keep tossing to and fro in their doubt.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aisi darkhwastein (requests) to sirf wahi log karte hain jo Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman nahin rakhte, jinke dilon mein shakk hai aur woh apne shakk hi mein mutaraddid(wavering) ho rahey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ وَلَوۡ أَرَادُواْ ٱلۡخُرُوجَ لَأَعَدُّواْ لَهُۥ عُدَّةٗ وَلَٰكِن كَرِهَ ٱللَّهُ ٱنۢبِعَاثَهُمۡ فَثَبَّطَهُمۡ وَقِيلَ ٱقۡعُدُواْ مَعَ ٱلۡقَٰعِدِينَ ٤٦

[9:46] Had they truly intended to march forth to fight, they would have certainly made some preparation for it. But Allah was averse to their going forth, so He made them lag behind, and they were told: "Stay behind with those that are staying behind."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar waqayi inka irada nikalne ka hota to woh iske liye kuch tayyari karte. Lekin Allah ko unka uthna pasand hi na tha, is liye usne unhein sust kardiya aur kehdiya ke baith raho baithne walon ke saath

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَوۡ خَرَجُواْ فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمۡ إِلَّا خَبَالٗا وَلَأَوۡضَعُواْ خِلَٰلَكُمۡ يَبۡغُونَكُمُ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةَ وَفِيكُمۡ سَمَّٰعُونَ لَهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٧

[9:47] Had they gone forth with you, they would have only added to your trouble, and would have run about in your midst seeking to stir up sedition among you, whereas there are among you some who are prone to lend ears to them. Allah knows well the wrong-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar woh tumhare saath nikalte to tumhare andar kharabi ke siwa kisi cheez ka izafa na karte, woh tumhare darmiyan fitna pardazi ke liye daud-dhoop karte, aur tumhare giroh ka haal yeh hai ke abhi usmein bahut se aisey log maujood hain jo unki baatein kaan laga kar sunte hain, Allah in zaalimon ko khoob jaanta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَقَدِ ٱبۡتَغَوُاْ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَقَلَّبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأُمُورَ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ وَهُمۡ كَٰرِهُونَ ٤٨

[9:48] Surely they sought even earlier to stir up sedition, and turned things upside down to frustrate you until the Truth came and the decree of Allah appeared, however hateful this may have been to them.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Issey pehle bhi in logon ne fitna-angezi ki koshishein ki hain aur tumhein nakaam karne ke liye yeh har tarah ki tadbeeron ka ulat pher kar chuke hain yahan tak ke inki marzi ke khilaf haqq aa gaya aur Allah ka kaam hokar raha

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَقُولُ ٱئۡذَن لِّي وَلَا تَفۡتِنِّيٓۚ أَلَا فِي ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ سَقَطُواْۗ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةُۢ بِٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٤٩

[9:49] And among them is he who says: "Grant me leave to stay behind, and do not expose me to temptation." Lo! They have already fallen into temptation. Surely Hell encompasses the unbelievers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In mein se koi hai jo kehta hai ke “mujhey ruksat de dijiye aur mujhko fitne mein na daaliye.” Sun rakkho! Fitne hi mein to yeh log padey huey hain aur jahannum ne in kafiron ko gher rakkha hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِن تُصِبۡكَ حَسَنَةٞ تَسُؤۡهُمۡۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡكَ مُصِيبَةٞ يَقُولُواْ قَدۡ أَخَذۡنَآ أَمۡرَنَا مِن قَبۡلُ وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمۡ فَرِحُونَ ٥٠

[9:50] If good fortune befalls you, it vexes them; and if an affliction befalls you, they turn away in jubilation and say: "We have taken due care of our affairs in good time."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumhara bhala hota hai to inhein ranjj hota hai aur tumpar koi museebat aati hai to yeh mooh pher kar khush khush palat-te hain aur kehte jatey hain ke accha hua humne pehle hi apna maamla theek karliya tha

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥١

[9:51] Say: "Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Protector." Let the believers, then, put all their trust in Allah.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insey kaho “humein hargiz koi (burayi ya bhalayi) nahin pahunchti magar woh jo Allah ne hamare liye likh di hai. Allah hi hamara maula (guradian) hai, aur ehle iman ko usi par bharosa karna chahiye”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ هَلۡ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَآ إِلَّآ إِحۡدَى ٱلۡحُسۡنَيَيۡنِۖ وَنَحۡنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمۡ أَن يُصِيبَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابٖ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦٓ أَوۡ بِأَيۡدِينَاۖ فَتَرَبَّصُوٓاْ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ ٥٢

[9:52] Tell them: "What you await to befall upon us is nothing but one of the two good things! And what we await for you is that Allah visit you with chastisement from Him or chastise you at our hands. So continue waiting; we too shall wait with you."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insey kaho, “tum hamare maamle mein jis cheez ke muntazir ho woh iske siwa aur kya hai ke do bhalaiyon mein se ek bhalayi hai aur hum tumhare maamle mein jis cheez ke muntazir hain woh yeh hai ke Allah khud tumko saza deta hai ya hamare haathon dilwata hai? Accha to ab tum bhi intezar karo aur hum bhi tumhare saath muntazir hain”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قُلۡ أَنفِقُواْ طَوۡعًا أَوۡ كَرۡهٗا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمۡ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ ٥٣

[9:53] Tell them: "Whether you spend your money willingly or unwillingly, it shall not find acceptance (with Allah) for you are an evil-doing folk."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Insey kaho “tum apne maal khwa razi khushi kharch karo ya ba-karahat(unwillingly), bahar-haal woh qabool na kiye jayenge kyunke tum fasiq log ho”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمۡ أَن تُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُمۡ نَفَقَٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأۡتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كَٰرِهُونَ ٥٤

[9:54] Nothing prevents that their expendings be accepted except that they disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger, and whenever they come to the Prayer they do so lazily, and whenever they spend they do so grudgingly.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inke diye huey maal qabool na honay ki koi wajah iske siwa nahin hai ke inhon ne Allah aur uske Rasool se kufr kiya hai, namaz ke liye aate hain to kasmasate huey aate hain aur raah e khuda mein kharch karte hain to ba-dil e na khwasta (unwilling hearts) kharch karte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَلَا تُعۡجِبۡكَ أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُهُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَتَزۡهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٥٥

[9:55] Let neither their riches nor their children excite your admiration. Allah only wants to chastise them through these things in the present life, and to cause them to die while they are unbelievers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inke maal o daulat aur inke kasrat e aulad ko dekh kar dhoka na khao, Allah to yeh chahta hai ke inhi cheezon ke zariye se inko duniya ki zindagi mein bhi mubtila e azaab karey aur yeh jaan bhi dein to inkar e haqq hi ki halat mein dein

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَيَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمِنكُمۡ وَمَا هُم مِّنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ يَفۡرَقُونَ ٥٦

[9:56] They swear by Allah that they are part of you whereas they are certainly not part of you. They are merely a people who dread you.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh khuda ki kasam kha kha kar kehte hain ke hum tumhi mein se hain, halanke woh hargiz tum mein se nahin hain. Asal mein to woh aisey log hain jo tumse khauf-zadah(afraid) hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَوۡ يَجِدُونَ مَلۡجَـًٔا أَوۡ مَغَٰرَٰتٍ أَوۡ مُدَّخَلٗا لَّوَلَّوۡاْ إِلَيۡهِ وَهُمۡ يَجۡمَحُونَ ٥٧

[9:57] If they could find any shelter or any cavern, or any retreat, they would turn around and rush headlong into it.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar woh koi jaaye panaah (place of refuge) paa lein ya koi kho (cave) ya ghus baithne ki jagah, to bhaag kar us mein ja chupein

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَلۡمِزُكَ فِي ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ فَإِنۡ أُعۡطُواْ مِنۡهَا رَضُواْ وَإِن لَّمۡ يُعۡطَوۡاْ مِنۡهَآ إِذَا هُمۡ يَسۡخَطُونَ ٥٨

[9:58] (O Prophet), some of them find fault with you in the distribution of alms. If they are given something of it they are pleased, and if they are given nothing they are angry.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi), in mein se baaz log sadaqaat ki takseem mein tumpar aitraazaat karte hain , agar is maal mein se inhein kuch de diya jaye to khush ho jayein, aur na diya jaye to bigadne lagte hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ رَضُواْ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَقَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا ٱللَّهُ سَيُؤۡتِينَا ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ رَٰغِبُونَ ٥٩

[9:59] Would that they were content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and were to say: "Allah suffices for us, and Allah will give us out of His bounty and so will His Messenger. It is to Allah alone that we turn with hope."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya accha hota ke Allah aur Rasool ne jo kuch bhi unhein diya tha uspar woh raazi rehte aur kehte ke “Allah hamare liye kafi hai, woh apne fazal se humein aur bahut kuch dega aur uska Rasool bhi humpar inayat farmayega, hum Allah hi ki taraf nazar jamaye huey hain”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَٰتُ لِلۡفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلۡمَسَٰكِينِ وَٱلۡعَٰمِلِينَ عَلَيۡهَا وَٱلۡمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَفِي ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلۡغَٰرِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبۡنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۖ فَرِيضَةٗ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٦٠

[9:60] The alms are meant only for the poor and the needy and those who are in charge thereof, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free those in bondage, and to help those burdened with debt, and for expenditure in the Way of Allah and for the wayfarer. This is an obligation from Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh sadaqaat to dar-asal fakeeron aur miskeeno ke liye hain aur un logon ke liye jo sadaqaat ke kaam par mamoor hon, aur unke liye jinki taalif-e-qalb (whose hearts are to be won over) matloob ho neiz yeh gardano ke chudane(ransoming of slaves) aur qarzdaron ki madad karne mein aur raah e khuda mein aur musafir-nawazi mein istemal karne ke liye hain. Ek fareeza hai Allah ki taraf se aur Allah sab kuch jaanne wala aur dana o beena hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمِنۡهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡذُونَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٞۚ قُلۡ أُذُنُ خَيۡرٖ لَّكُمۡ يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَيُؤۡمِنُ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَرَحۡمَةٞ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡذُونَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٦١

[9:61] And of them there are some who distress the Prophet, saying: "He is all ears." Tell them: "He listens for your good. He believes in Allah and trusts the believers, and is a mercy for those of you who believe. A painful punishment lies in store for those who cause distress to the Messenger of Allah."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inmein se kuch log hain jo apni baaton se Nabi ko dukh dete hain aur kehte hain ke yeh shaks kaano (ears) ka kaccha hai. Kaho, “woh tumhari bhalayi ke liye aisa hai, Allah par iman rakhta hai aur ehle iman par aitemaad (bharosa) karta hai aur sarasar rehmat hai un logon ke liye jo tum mein se imandaar hain. Aur jo log Allah ke Rasool ko dukh dete hain unke liye dardnaak saza hai”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ لِيُرۡضُوكُمۡ وَٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرۡضُوهُ إِن كَانُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ ٦٢

[9:62] They swear by Allah to please you, while it is Allah and His Messenger whose pleasure they should seek if they truly believe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh log tumhare saamne kasmein khate hain taa-ke tumhein raazi karein, halanke agar yeh momin hain to Allah aur Rasool iske zyada haqdar hain ke yeh unko raazi karne ki fikr karein

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ مَن يُحَادِدِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَأَنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدٗا فِيهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخِزۡيُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٦٣

[9:63] Are they not aware that Hell Fire awaits whosoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, and in it he shall abide? That surely is the great humiliation.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya inhein maloom nahin hai ke jo Allah aur uske Rasool ka muqabla karta hai uske liye dozakh ki aag hai jismein woh hamesha rahega. Yeh bahut badi ruswayi hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُورَةٞ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ قُلِ ٱسۡتَهۡزِءُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡرِجٞ مَّا تَحۡذَرُونَ ٦٤

[9:64] The hypocrites are afraid lest a surah should be revealed concerning them intimating to the believers what lay hidden in their hearts. Tell them (O Prophet): "Continue your mockery if you will. Allah will surely bring to light all that whose disclosure you dread."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh munafiq darr rahey hain ke kahin musalmano par koi aisi surat nazil na ho jaye jo inke dilon ke bhed khol kar rakh de. (Aey Nabi), insey kaho, “aur mazaq udao, Allah us cheez ko khol dene wala hai jiske khul janey se tum darte ho”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُمۡ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلۡعَبُۚ قُلۡ أَبِٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَرَسُولِهِۦ كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٦٥

[9:65] Should you question them what they were talking about, they would certainly say: "We were merely jesting and being playful." Tell them: "Was it Allah and His revelation and His Messenger that you were mocking?"

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar insey pucho ke tum kya baatein kar rahey thay, to jhat keh denge ke hum to hansi mazaq aur dil lagi kar rahey thay. Insey kaho, “kya tumhari hansi dil lagi Allah aur uski aayat aur uske Rasool hi ke saath thi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَا تَعۡتَذِرُواْ قَدۡ كَفَرۡتُم بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡۚ إِن نَّعۡفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٖ مِّنكُمۡ نُعَذِّبۡ طَآئِفَةَۢ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ ٦٦

[9:66] Now, make no excuses. The truth is, you have fallen into unbelief after having believed. Even if We were to forgive some of you, We will surely chastise others because they are guilty.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ab uzraat (excuses) na tarasho, tumne iman laney ke baad kufr kiya hai, agar humne tum mein se ek giroh ko maaf kar bhi diya to dusre giroh ko to hum zaroor saza denge kyunke woh mujreem hai.”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ بَعۡضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضٖۚ يَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَقۡبِضُونَ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡۚ نَسُواْ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ ٦٧

[9:67] The hypocrites, be they men or women, are all alike. They enjoin what is evil, and forbid what is good, and withhold their hands from doing good. They forgot Allah, so Allah also forgot them. Surely the hypocrites are wicked.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Munafiq Mard aur munafiq auratein sab ek dusre ke hum-rang hain, burayi ka hukum dete hain aur bhalayi se mana karte hain aur apne haath khair se roak rahey hain. Yeh Allah ko bhool gaye to Allah ne bhi inhein bhula diya, yaqeenan yeh munafiq hi fasiq hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقَٰتِ وَٱلۡكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ هِيَ حَسۡبُهُمۡۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٞ ٦٨

[9:68] Allah has promised Hell-Fire to the hypocrites, both men and women, and to the unbelievers. They shall abide in it: a sufficient recompense for them. Allah has cursed them, and theirs is a lasting torment.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In munafiq mardon aur auraton aur kafiron ke liye Allah ne aatish e dozakh ka wada kiya hai jismein woh hamesha rahenge, wahi inke liye mauzun(proper place) hai, inpar Allah ki phitkar hai aur inke liye qayam rehne wala azaab hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

كَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمۡ قُوَّةٗ وَأَكۡثَرَ أَمۡوَٰلٗا وَأَوۡلَٰدٗا فَٱسۡتَمۡتَعُواْ بِخَلَٰقِهِمۡ فَٱسۡتَمۡتَعۡتُم بِخَلَٰقِكُمۡ كَمَا ٱسۡتَمۡتَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكُم بِخَلَٰقِهِمۡ وَخُضۡتُمۡ كَٱلَّذِي خَاضُوٓاْۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ ٦٩

[9:69] Your ways are like the ways of those who have gone before you. They were mightier than you in power, and more abundant in riches and children. They enjoyed their lot for a while as you have enjoyed your lot, and you also engaged in idle talk as they did. Their works have come to naught in this world, and in the Hereafter they are surely the losers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum logon ke rang dhang wahi hain jo tumhare pesh-rawon ke thay, woh tumse zyada zorawar aur tumse badhkar maal aur aulad waley thay, phir unhon ne duniya mein apne hissey ke mazey loot liye aur tumne bhi apne hissey ke mazey isi tarah loote jaise unhon ne loote thay, aur waisi hi behason (arguments) mein tum bhi padey jaisi behason mein woh padey thay. So unka anjaam yeh hua ke duniya aur aakhirat mein unka sab kiya dhara zaya ho gaya aur wahi khasarey mein hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِهِمۡ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ قَوۡمِ نُوحٖ وَعَادٖ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوۡمِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَأَصۡحَٰبِ مَدۡيَنَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَٰتِۚ أَتَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٧٠

[9:70] Have they not heard the accounts of those who came before them - of the people of Noah and 'Ad and Thamud, and the people of Abraham and the dwellers of Madyan (Midian), and the cities that were overturned? Their Messengers came to them with Clear Signs. Then, it was not Allah Who caused them any wrong; they rather wronged themselves.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya in logon ko apne peshrawon ki tareekh (history/story) nahin pahunchi? Nooh ki qaum, Aad , Samood, Ibrahim ki qaum , Madiyan ke log aur woh bastiyan jinhein ulat diya gaya. Unke Rasool unke paas khuli khuli nishaniyan lekar aaye, phir yeh Allah ka kaam na tha ke unpar zulm karta magar woh aap hi apne upar zulm karne waley thay

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتُ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٖۚ يَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ سَيَرۡحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ ٧١

[9:71] The believers, both men and women, are allies of one another. They enjoin good, forbid evil, establish Prayer, pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Surely Allah will show mercy to them. Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Momin mard aur momin auratein, yeh sab ek dusre ke rafeeq(comrades/allies) hain, bhalayi ka hukum dete aur burayi se roakte hain, Namaz qayam karte hain, zakat dete hain aur Allah aur uske Rasool ki itaat karte hain, yeh woh log hain jinpar Allah ki rehmat nazil hokar rahegi. Yaqeenan Allah sab par gaalib aur hakeem o dana hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَمَسَٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةٗ فِي جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٖۚ وَرِضۡوَٰنٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٧٢

[9:72] Allah has promised the believing men and believing women Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They shall abide in it. There are delightful dwelling places for them in the Gardens of Eternity. They shall, above all, enjoy the good pleasure of Allah. That is the great achievement.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In momin mardon aur auraton se Allah ka wada hai ke inhein aise baagh dega jinke nichey nehrein behti hongi aur woh inmein hamesha rahenge, in sada-bahar baaghon mein unke liye pakeeza qayam-gaahein (dwelling places) hongi, aur sabse badhkar yeh ke Allah ki khushnudi(pleasure) inhein hasil hogi, yahi badi kamiyabi hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ جَٰهِدِ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ وَٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱغۡلُظۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٧٣

[9:73] O Prophet! Strive against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be severe to them. Hell shall be their abode; what an evil destination!

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey Nabi, kuffar aur munafiqeen dono ka puri quwwat se muqabla karo aur inke saath sakhti se pesh aao, aakhir e kaar inka thikana jahannum hai aur woh badh-tareen jaaye karrar (abode) hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ مَا قَالُواْ وَلَقَدۡ قَالُواْ كَلِمَةَ ٱلۡكُفۡرِ وَكَفَرُواْ بَعۡدَ إِسۡلَٰمِهِمۡ وَهَمُّواْ بِمَا لَمۡ يَنَالُواْۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوٓاْ إِلَّآ أَنۡ أَغۡنَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ فَإِن يَتُوبُواْ يَكُ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۡۖ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوۡاْ يُعَذِّبۡهُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ وَمَا لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ ٧٤

[9:74] They swear by Allah that they said nothing blasphemous whereas they indeed blasphemed, and fell into unbelief after believing, and also had evil designs which they could not carry into effect. They are spiteful against Muslims for no other reason than that Allah and His Messenger have enriched them through His bounty! So, if they repent, it will be to their own good. But if they turn away, Allah will sternly punish them in this world and in the Hereafter. None in the world will be able to protect or help them.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh log khuda ki kasam kha kha kar kehte hain ke humne woh baat nahin kahi, halanke inhon ne zaroor woh kaafirana baat kahi hai. Woh Islam laney ke baad kufr ke murtakib huey aur inhon ne woh kuch karne ka irada kiya jisey kar na sakey. Yeh inka saara gussa isi baat par hai na ke Allah aur uske Rasool ne apne fazal se inko gani(enrich) kardiya hai! ab agar yeh apni is rawish se baaz aa jayein to inhi ke liye behtar hai, aur agar yeh baaz na aaye to Allah inko nihayat dardnaak saza dega, duniya mein bhi aur aakhirat mein bhi, aur zameen mein koi nahin jo inka himayati aur madadgaar ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ عَٰهَدَ ٱللَّهَ لَئِنۡ ءَاتَىٰنَا مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٧٥

[9:75] Some of them made a covenant with Allah: "If Allah gives us out of His bounty, we will give alms and act righteously."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In mein se baaz aise bhi hain jinhon ne Allah se ahad kiya tha ke agar usne apne fazal se humko nawaza to hum khairat karenge aur saleh ban kar rahenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦ بَخِلُواْ بِهِۦ وَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٧٦

[9:76] Then, when He gave them out of His bounty, they grew niggardly and turned their backs (upon their covenant).

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Magar jab Allah ne apne fazl se inko daulat-mand kardiya to woh bukhl (kanjoosi) par utar aaye aur apne ahad se phire ke inhein uski parwa tak nahin hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَأَعۡقَبَهُمۡ نِفَاقٗا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يَلۡقَوۡنَهُۥ بِمَآ أَخۡلَفُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡذِبُونَ ٧٧

[9:77] So He caused hypocrisy to take root in their hearts and to remain therein until the Day they meet Him because they broke their promise with Allah and because they lied.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Nateeja yeh nikla ke inki is badh-ahadi(treachery) ki wajah se jo inhon ne Allah ke saath ki, aur us jhoot ki wajah se jo woh bolte rahey, Allah ne inke dilon mein nifaq(hypocrisy) bitha diya jo uske huzoor unki peshi ke din tak inka peecha na chodega

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ سِرَّهُمۡ وَنَجۡوَىٰهُمۡ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ ٧٨

[9:78] Are they not aware that Allah knows what they conceal and what they secretly discuss, and that Allah has full knowledge even of all that is beyond the reach of perception.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya yeh log jantey nahin hain ke Allah ko inke makhfi (hidden) raaz aur inki posheeda sargoshiyan tak maloom hain aur woh tamaam gaib ki baaton se poori tarah bakhabar hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱلَّذِينَ يَلۡمِزُونَ ٱلۡمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ فِي ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهۡدَهُمۡ فَيَسۡخَرُونَ مِنۡهُمۡ سَخِرَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهُمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٧٩

[9:79] He also knows (the rich that are niggardly) who taunt the believers that voluntarily give alms, they scoff at those who have nothing to give except what they earn through their hard toil. Allah scoffs at them in return. A grievous chastisement awaits them.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Woh khoob jaanta hai un kanjoos daulat-mandon ko) jo ba-raza (willingly) o ragbat dene waley ehle iman ki maali qurbaniyon par baatein chant-te hain aur un logon ka mazaq udate hain jinke paas (raah e khuda mein dene ke liye) uske siwa kuch nahin hai jo woh apne upar mushakkat bardasht karke detey hain. Allah in mazaq udane walon ka mazaq udata hai aur inke liye dardnaak saza hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ أَوۡ لَا تَسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ إِن تَسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ سَبۡعِينَ مَرَّةٗ فَلَن يَغۡفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ٨٠

[9:80] (O Prophet), it is all the same whether or not you ask for their forgiveness. Even if you were to ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah shall not forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger; and Allah does not bestow His Guidance on such evil-doing folk.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi), tum khwa aise logon ke liye maafi ki darkhwast karo ya na karo, agar tum satter (seventy) martaba bhi inhein maaf kardene ki darkhwast karoge to Allah inhein hargiz maaf na karega, is liye ke inhon ne Allah aur uske Rasool ke saath kufr kiya hai, aur Allah fasiq logon ko raah e najaat nahin dikhata

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَرِحَ ٱلۡمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقۡعَدِهِمۡ خِلَٰفَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَرِهُوٓاْ أَن يُجَٰهِدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالُواْ لَا تَنفِرُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَرِّۗ قُلۡ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرّٗاۚ لَّوۡ كَانُواْ يَفۡقَهُونَ ٨١

[9:81] Those who were allowed to stay behind rejoiced at remaining behind and not accompanying the Messenger of Allah. They were averse to striving in the Way of Allah with their belongings and their lives and told others: "Do not go forth in this fierce heat." Tell them: "The Hell is far fiercer in heat." Would that they understand!

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jin logon ko peechey reh janey ki ijazat de di gayi thi woh Allah ke Rasool ka saath na dene aur ghar baithe rehne par khush huey aur unhein gawara na hua ke Allah ki raah mein jaan o maal se jihad karein. Unhone logon se kaha ke “ is shakht garmi mein na niklo”. Insey kaho ke jahannum ki aag issey zyada garam hai, kaash inhein iska shaoor hota

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَلۡيَضۡحَكُواْ قَلِيلٗا وَلۡيَبۡكُواْ كَثِيرٗا جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٨٢

[9:82] Let them, then, laugh little, and weep much at the contemplation of the punishment for the evil they have committed.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ab chahiye ke yeh log hasna kam karein aur royein zyada, is liye ke jo badhi(evil) yeh kamate rahey hain iski jaza aise hi hai (ke inhein ispar rona chahiye)

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَإِن رَّجَعَكَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَىٰ طَآئِفَةٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٱسۡتَـٔۡذَنُوكَ لِلۡخُرُوجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخۡرُجُواْ مَعِيَ أَبَدٗا وَلَن تُقَٰتِلُواْ مَعِيَ عَدُوًّاۖ إِنَّكُمۡ رَضِيتُم بِٱلۡقُعُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ فَٱقۡعُدُواْ مَعَ ٱلۡخَٰلِفِينَ ٨٣

[9:83] Then if Allah brings you face to face with a party of them, and they ask your leave to go forth (to fight in the Way of Allah), tell them: "You shall not go forth with me, and shall never fight against any enemy along with me. You were well-pleased to remain at home the first time, so now continue to remain with those who have stayed behind."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Agar Allah inke darmiyan tumhein wapas le jaye aur aainda in mein se koi giroh jihad ke liye nikalne ki tumse ijazat maange to saaf keh dena, “ ab tum mere saath hargiz nahin chal sakte aur na meri maaiyat (company) mein kisi dushman se ladd sakte ho, tumne pehle baith rehne ko pasand kiya tha ab ghar baithne walon hi ke saath baithey raho”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٖ مِّنۡهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدٗا وَلَا تَقُمۡ عَلَىٰ قَبۡرِهِۦٓۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ ٨٤

[9:84] Do not ever pray over any of them who dies, nor stand over his grave. They disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died in iniquity.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur aainda in mein se jo koi marey (die) uski namaz e janaza bhi tum hargiz na padhna aur na kabhi uski qabr par khade hona kyunke unhon ne Allah aur uske Rasool ke saath kufr kiya hai aur woh marey hain is haal mein ke woh fasiq thay

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَا تُعۡجِبۡكَ أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُهُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَتَزۡهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٨٥

[9:85] Let not their riches or their children excite your admiration. Through these Allah seeks to chastise them in this world, and that their lives will depart them while they are unbelievers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inki maaldari aur inki kasrat e aulad tumko dhoke mein na daaley , Allah ne to irada karliya hai ke is maal o aulad ke zariye se inko is duniya mein saza dey aur inki jaanein is haal mein niklein ke woh kafir hon

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتۡ سُورَةٌ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَجَٰهِدُواْ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ ٱسۡتَـٔۡذَنَكَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلطَّوۡلِ مِنۡهُمۡ وَقَالُواْ ذَرۡنَا نَكُن مَّعَ ٱلۡقَٰعِدِينَ ٨٦

[9:86] And whenever any surah is revealed enjoining: "Believe in Allah and strive (in His Way) along with His Messenger," the affluent among them ask you to excuse them, saying: "Leave us with those who will sit back at home."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab kabhi koi surat is mazmoun (topic) ki nazil hui ke Allah ko maano aur uske Rasool ke saath milkar jihad karo to tumne dekha ke jo log in mein se saahib e maqdarat (capable people) thay wahi tumse darkhwast karne lage ke unhein jihad ki shirkat se maaf rakkha jaye, aur unhone kaha ke humein chodh dijiye ke hum baithne walon ke saath rahein

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلۡخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَفۡقَهُونَ ٨٧

[9:87] They were content to stay behind with the womenfolk. Their hearts were sealed, leaving them bereft of understanding.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

In logon ne ghar baithne waliyon mein shamil hona pasand kiya aur inke dilon par thappa laga diya gaya, is liye inki samajh mein ab kuch nahin aata

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَٰكِنِ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ جَٰهَدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتُۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ٨٨

[9:88] But the Messenger and those who shared his faith strove with their belongings and their lives. It is they who shall have all kinds of good. It is they who shall prosper.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ba-khilaf iske Rasool ne aur un logon ne jo Rasool ke saath iman laye thay apni jaan o maal se jihad kiya aur ab saari bhalaiyan unhi ke liye hain aur wahi falaah paaney waley hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٨٩

[9:89] Allah has prepared for them Gardens beneath which rivers flow. There shall they abide. That is the supreme triumph.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ne unke liye aise baagh tayyar rakkhey hain jinke nichey nehrein beh rahi hain, unmein woh hamesha rahenge. Yeh hai azeem o shaan kamiyabi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَجَآءَ ٱلۡمُعَذِّرُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ لِيُؤۡذَنَ لَهُمۡ وَقَعَدَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥۚ سَيُصِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٩٠

[9:90] Many of the bedouin Arabs came with excuses, seeking leave to stay behind. Thus those who were false to Allah and His Messenger in their covenant remained behind. A painful chastisement shall befall those of them that disbelieved.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Badwi (bedouins) arabon mein se bhi bahut se log aaye jinhon ne uzar (excuse) kiye taa-ke unhein bhi pichey reh janey ki ijazat di jaye is tarah baith rahey woh log jinhon ne Allah aur uske Rasool se iman ka jhoota ahad kiya tha. In badwiyon (bedouins) mein se jin logon ne kufr ka tareeqa ikhtiyar kiya hai anqareeb woh dardnaak saza se do-chaar hongey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَّيۡسَ عَلَى ٱلضُّعَفَآءِ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلۡمَرۡضَىٰ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ مَا يُنفِقُونَ حَرَجٌ إِذَا نَصَحُواْ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۚ مَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ مِن سَبِيلٖۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٩١

[9:91] There is no blame on the weak nor on the sick nor on those who have nothing to enable them to join (the struggle in the Way of Allah) if they stay behind provided that they are sincere to Allah and to His Messenger. There is no cause for reproach against those who do good. Allah is All-Forgiving, Ever Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Zaeef (old) aur beemar log aur woh log jo shirkat e jihad ke liye raah nahin paatey, agar peechey reh jayein to koi harj nahin jabke woh khuloos e dil ke saath Allah aur uske Rasool ke wafadaar hon. Aisey mohsineen par aitraz ki koi gunjaish nahin hai aur Allah darguzar karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوۡكَ لِتَحۡمِلَهُمۡ قُلۡتَ لَآ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحۡمِلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَلَّواْ وَّأَعۡيُنُهُمۡ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمۡعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُواْ مَا يُنفِقُونَ ٩٢

[9:92] Nor can there be any cause for reproach against those who, when they came to you asking for mounts to go to the battlefront, and when you said that you had no mounts for them, they went back, their eyes overflowing with tears, grieving that they had no resources to enable them to take part in fighting.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Isi tarah un logon par bhi koi aiteraaz ka mauqa nahin hai jihon ne khud aa kar tumse darkhwast ki thi ke hamare liye sawariyan baham pahunchayi jayein, aur jab tumne kaha ke main tumhare liye sawariyon ka intizam nahin kar sakta to woh majbooran wapas gaye aur haal yeh tha ke unki aankhon se aansu (tears) jaari thay aur unhein is baat ka bada ranjj tha ke woh apne kharch par shareek e jihad honay ki maqdarat nahin rakhte

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُونَكَ وَهُمۡ أَغۡنِيَآءُۚ رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلۡخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٩٣

[9:93] But there are grounds for reproach against those who seek leave to stay behind even though they are affluent. They are the ones who were content to be with the womenfolk who stay behind. Allah has set a seal on their hearts, leaving them bereft of understanding.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Albatta aiteraaz un logon par hai jo maaldaar hain aur phir bhi tumse darkhwastein karte hain ke unhein shirkat e jihad se maaf rakkha jaye. Unhon ne ghar baithne waliyon mein shamil hona pasand kiya aur Allah ne unke dilon par thappa (seal) laga diya, is liye ke ab yeh kuch nahin jantey (ke Allah ke haan inki rawish ka kya nateeja nikalne wala hai)

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَعۡتَذِرُونَ إِلَيۡكُمۡ إِذَا رَجَعۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡۚ قُل لَّا تَعۡتَذِرُواْ لَن نُّؤۡمِنَ لَكُمۡ قَدۡ نَبَّأَنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنۡ أَخۡبَارِكُمۡۚ وَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمۡ وَرَسُولُهُۥ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٤

[9:94] They will put up excuses before you when you return to them. Tell them: "Make no excuses. We will not believe you. Allah has already informed us of the truth about you. Allah will observe your conduct, and so will His Messenger; then you will be brought back to Him Who knows alike what lies beyond perception and what lies in the range of perception and will let you know what you have done."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum jab palat kar inke paas pahunchoge to yeh tarah tarah ke uzraat (excuses) pesh karenge magar tum saaf keh dena ke “bahane na karo, hum tumhari kisi baat ka aitbaar na karenge, Allah ne humko tumhare halaat bata diye hain, ab Allah aur uska Rasool tumhare tarze amal ko dekhega phir tum uski taraf paltaye jaogey jo khule aur chupe sab ka janne wala hai aur woh tumhein bata dega ke tum kya kuch karte rahey ho”

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

سَيَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ لِتُعۡرِضُواْ عَنۡهُمۡۖ فَأَعۡرِضُواْ عَنۡهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُمۡ رِجۡسٞۖ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٩٥

[9:95] When you return to them they will surely swear to you in the name of Allah that you may leave them alone. So do leave them alone; they are unclean. Hell shall be their home, a recompense for what they did.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumhari wapsi par yeh tumhare saamne kasamein khayenge taa-ke tum insey sarf-e-nazar karo (to leave them alone) to beshak tum insey sarf-e-nazar hi karlo. Kyunke yeh gandagi hain aur inka asli muqaam jahannum hai jo inki kamayi ke badle mein inhein naseeb hogi

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَحۡلِفُونَ لَكُمۡ لِتَرۡضَوۡاْ عَنۡهُمۡۖ فَإِن تَرۡضَوۡاْ عَنۡهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَرۡضَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ٩٦

[9:96] They will swear to you in order to please you. But even if you become pleased with them, Allah will not be pleased with such an evil-doing folk.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh tumhare saamne kasamein khayenge ke taa-ke tum inse raazi ho jao, halanke agar tum inse raazi ho bhi gaye to Allah hargiz aisey fasiq logon se raazi na hoga

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱلۡأَعۡرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفۡرٗا وَنِفَاقٗا وَأَجۡدَرُ أَلَّا يَعۡلَمُواْ حُدُودَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٩٧

[9:97] The bedouin Arabs surpass all in unbelief and hypocrisy and are most likely to be unaware of the limits prescribed by Allah in what He has revealed to His Messenger. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh badwi (bedouin) arab kufr o nifaq (hypocrisy) mein zyada sakht hain aur inke maamle mein is amr ke imkanaat (probability) zyada hain ke us deen ke hudood se na-waqif rahein jo Allah ne apne Rasool par nazil kiya hai. Allah sab kuch jaanta hai aur hakeem o dana hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ مَغۡرَمٗا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ ٱلدَّوَآئِرَۚ عَلَيۡهِمۡ دَآئِرَةُ ٱلسَّوۡءِۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ ٩٨

[9:98] And among the bedouin Arabs there are such as regard whatever they spend (in the Way of Allah) as a fine and wait for some misfortune to befall you. May ill fortune befall them! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Un badwiyon mein aisey aisey log maujood hain jo raah e khuda mein kuch kharch karte hain to isey apne upar zabardasti ki chatti (penalty) samajhte hain aur tumhare haqq mein zamane ki gardishon ka intezar kar rahey hain (ke tum kisi chakkar mein phanso to woh apni gardan se us nizam ki itaat ka qalada utar phenkein jis mein tumne unhein kass diya hai) halanke badhi ka chakkar khud inhi par musallat hai aur Allah sab kuch sunta aur jaanta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ مَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَٰتٍ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَصَلَوَٰتِ ٱلرَّسُولِۚ أَلَآ إِنَّهَا قُرۡبَةٞ لَّهُمۡۚ سَيُدۡخِلُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٩٩

[9:99] And among the bedouin Arabs are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and regard their spending (in the Way of Allah) as a means of drawing near to Allah and of deserving the prayers of the Messenger. Indeed, this shall be a means of drawing near to Allah. Allah will surely admit them to His mercy. Allah is All-Forgiving, Ever Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur inhi badwiyon mein kuch log aisey bhi hain jo Allah aur roz-e-aakhir par iman rakhte hain aur jo kuch kharch karte hain usey Allah ke haan taqarrub(nearness) ka aur Rasool ki taraf se rehmat ki duaein lene ka zariya banate hain. Haan! Woh zaroor inke liye taqarrub (nearness) ka zariya hai aur Allah zaroor inko apni rehmat mein dakhil karega. Yaqeenan Allah darguzar karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلۡأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحۡسَٰنٖ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي تَحۡتَهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ١٠٠

[9:100] And of those who led the way - the first of the Emigrants (Muhajirun) and the Helpers (Ansar), and those who followed them in the best possible manner - Allah is well-pleased with them and they are well-pleased with Allah. He has prepared for them Gardens beneath which rivers flow; therein they will abide forever. That is the supreme triumph.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh muhajir o ansar jinhon ne sab se pehle dawat e iman par labbaik kehne mein sabaqat ki , neiz woh jo baad mein raastbaazi ke sath pichey aaye, Allah unsey razi hua aur woh Allah se razi huey , Allah ne unke liye aisey baagh muhaiyya kar rakkhe hain jinke nichey nehrein behti hongi aur woh unmein hamesha rahenge, yahi azeem o shaan kamiyabi hai

وَمِمَّنۡ حَوۡلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ مُنَٰفِقُونَۖ وَمِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُواْ عَلَى ٱلنِّفَاقِ لَا تَعۡلَمُهُمۡۖ نَحۡنُ نَعۡلَمُهُمۡۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَّرَّتَيۡنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٖ ١٠١

[9:101] As for the bedouin Arabs around you, some are hypocrites; and so are some of the people of Madinah who have become inured to hypocrisy. You do not know them, but We know them. We will inflict double chastisement on them, and then they shall be returned to an awesome suffering.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumhare gird o pesh jo badwi rehte hain un mein bahut se munafiq hain aur isi tarah khud Medina ke bashindon mein bhi munafiq maujood hain jo nifaq mein taq (experts) ho gaye hain. Tum inhein nahin jaante, hum unko jaante hain. Qareeb hai woh waqt jab hum unko dohri saza denge, phir woh zyada badi saza ke liye wapas laye jayenge

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَءَاخَرُونَ ٱعۡتَرَفُواْ بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ خَلَطُواْ عَمَلٗا صَٰلِحٗا وَءَاخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ ١٠٢

[9:102] There are others who have confessed their faults. They intermixed their good deeds with evil. It is likely that Allah will turn to them in mercy, for Allah is All- Forgiving, Ever Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kuch aur log hain jinhon ne apne kasooron ka aitraaf karliya hai unka amal makhloot (mixed record of deeds, good and bad) hai. Kuch neik hain aur kuch badh. Baeed nahin ke Allah unpar phir meharbaan ho jaye kyunke woh darguzar karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

خُذۡ مِنۡ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ صَدَقَةٗ تُطَهِّرُهُمۡ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّ صَلَوٰتَكَ سَكَنٞ لَّهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ١٠٣

[9:103] (O Prophet)! "Take alms out of their riches and thereby cleanse them and bring about their growth (in righteousness), and pray for them. Indeed your prayer is a source of tranquillity for them." Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Aey Nabi), tum inke amwal mein se sadaqa lekar inhein paak karo aur (neki ki raah mein) inhein badhao, aur inke haqq mein dua e rehmat karo kyunke tumhari dua inke liye wajah taskeen hogi. Allah sab kuch sunta aur jaanta hai

أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ يَقۡبَلُ ٱلتَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَأۡخُذُ ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٤

[9:104] Are they not aware that it is Allah Who accepts the repentance of His servants and accepts their alms, and that it is Allah Who is Oft-Relenting, Ever Merciful?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya in logon ko maloom nahin hai ke woh Allah hi hai jo apne bandon ki tawba qabool karta hai aur unki khairaat ko qabooliyat ata farmata hai, aur yeh ke Allah bahut maaf karne wala aur raheem hai

وَقُلِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمۡ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَۖ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٠٥

[9:105] And tell them, (O Prophet): "Keep working: Allah will behold your works and so will His Messenger and the believers; and you shall be brought back to Him Who knows that which is beyond the reach of perception and that which is within the reach of perception. He will then declare to you all that you have been doing."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur (aey Nabi), in logon se kehdo ke tum amal karo, Allah aur uska Rasool aur momineen sab dekhenge ke tumhara tarz-e-amal ab kya rehta hai , phir tum uski taraf paltaye jaogey jo khule aur chupe sab ko jaanta hai aur woh tumhein bata dega ke tum kya karte rahey ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَءَاخَرُونَ مُرۡجَوۡنَ لِأَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمۡ وَإِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيۡهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ١٠٦

[9:106] There are others in whose regard Allah's decree is awaited: whether He will chastise them or relent towards them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kuch dusre log hain jinka maamla bhi khuda ke hukum par thehra hua hai, chahe unhein saza de aur chahe unpar azsar-e-naw (again) meharbaan ho jaye, Allah sab kuch jaanta hai aur hakeem o dana hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مَسۡجِدٗا ضِرَارٗا وَكُفۡرٗا وَتَفۡرِيقَۢا بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَإِرۡصَادٗا لِّمَنۡ حَارَبَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُۚ وَلَيَحۡلِفُنَّ إِنۡ أَرَدۡنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَشۡهَدُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ١٠٧

[9:107] Then there are others who have set up a mosque to hurt the True Faith, to promote unbelief, and cause division among believers, and as an ambush for one who had earlier made war on Allah and His Messenger. They will surely swear: "We intended nothing but good," whereas Allah bears witness that they are liars.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kuch aur log hain jinhon ne ek masjid banayi is garz ke liye ke (dawat e haqq ko) nuqsaan pahunchayein, aur (khuda ki bandagi karne ke bajaye) kufr karein, aur ehle iman mein phoot (tafraqa/division) daalein, aur (is bazahir ibadat gaah ko) us shaks ke liye kameengaah (station) banayein jo issey pehle khuda aur Rasool ke khilaf barsar e paikar (in conflict) ho chuka hai. Woh zaroor kasmein kha kha kar kahenge ke hamara irada to bhalayi ke siwa kisi dusri cheez ka na tha magar Allah gawah hai ke woh qatayi jhootey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَا تَقُمۡ فِيهِ أَبَدٗاۚ لَّمَسۡجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنۡ أَوَّلِ يَوۡمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِۚ فِيهِ رِجَالٞ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُواْۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُطَّهِّرِينَ ١٠٨

[9:108] Never stand therein. Surely a mosque founded from the first day on piety is more worthy that you should stand in it for Prayer. In it are people who love to purify themselves, and Allah loves those that purify themselves.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum hargiz is imarat mein khade na hona. Jo masjid awwal roz se taqwa par qayam ki gayi thi, wahi iske liye zyada mauzoon(haqdaar/proper place) hai ke tum usmein (ibadat ke liye) khade ho. Usmein aisey log hain jo paak rehna pasand karte hain aur Allah ko pakeezgi ikhtiyar karne waley hi pasand hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَفَمَنۡ أَسَّسَ بُنۡيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقۡوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضۡوَٰنٍ خَيۡرٌ أَم مَّنۡ أَسَّسَ بُنۡيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٖ فَٱنۡهَارَ بِهِۦ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٠٩

[9:109] Is he, then, who has erected his structure on the fear of Allah and His good pleasure better, or he who erects his structure on the brink of a crumbling bank, so that it crumbles down with him into the Hell-Fire? Allah does not bestow His Guidance on the wrong-doing folk.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir tumhara kya khayal hai ke behtar Insaan woh hai jisne apni imarat ki buniyad khuda ke khauf aur uski raza ki talab par rakkhi ho ya woh jisne apni imarat ek waadi ki khokli besabaat kagar par uthayi (edge of a bank about to collapse) aur woh usey lekar seedhi jahannum ki aag mein jaa giri? Aisey zalim logon ko Allah kabhi seedhi raah nahin dikhata

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَا يَزَالُ بُنۡيَٰنُهُمُ ٱلَّذِي بَنَوۡاْ رِيبَةٗ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ إِلَّآ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١١٠

[9:110] And the structure which they have erected will ever inspire their hearts with doubts unless it be that their very hearts are cut into pieces. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh imarat jo inhon ne banayi hai, hamesha inke dilon mein yaqeeni ki jadd (root) bani rahegi (jiske nikalne ki ab koi surat nahin) bajuz iske ke inke dil hi para para ho jayein. Allah nihayat bakhabar aur hakeem o dana hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشۡتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَأَمۡوَٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةَۚ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقۡتُلُونَ وَيُقۡتَلُونَۖ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقّٗا فِي ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلِ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ وَمَنۡ أَوۡفَىٰ بِعَهۡدِهِۦ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۚ فَٱسۡتَبۡشِرُواْ بِبَيۡعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي بَايَعۡتُم بِهِۦۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ١١١

[9:111] Surely Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their belongings and in return has promised that they shall have Paradise. They fight in the Way of Allah, and slay and are slain. Such is the promise He has made incumbent upon Himself in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Qur'an. Who is more faithful to his promise than Allah? Rejoice, then, in the bargain you have made with Him. That indeed is the mighty triumph.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke Allah ne momino se unke nafs (jaan) aur unke maal jannat ke badle khareed liye hain, woh Allah ki raah mein ladte aur maarte aur marte hain. Unse (jannat ka wada) Allah ke zimme ek pukhta wada hai taurat (torah) aur injil aur quran mein. Aur kaun hai jo Allah se badhkar apne ahad ka pura karne wala ho? Pas khushiyan manao apne us saude (deal) par jo tumne khuda se chuka liya hai, yahi sabse badi kamiyabi hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

ٱلتَّٰٓئِبُونَ ٱلۡعَٰبِدُونَ ٱلۡحَٰمِدُونَ ٱلسَّٰٓئِحُونَ ٱلرَّٰكِعُونَ ٱلسَّٰجِدُونَ ٱلۡأٓمِرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَٱلنَّاهُونَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَٱلۡحَٰفِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٢

[9:112] Those who constantly turn to Allah in repentance, who constantly worship Him, who celebrate His praise, who go about the world to serve His cause, who bow down to Him, who prostrate themselves before Him, who enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and who keep the limits set by Allah. Announce glad tidings to such believers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ki taraf baar baar palatne waley, uski bandagi baja laney walyy, uski tareef ke gun gaane waley , uski khatir zameen mein gardish karne waley, uske aagey ruku aur sajde karne waley, neki ka hukum dene waley, badi se roakne waley, aur Allah ke hudood ki hifazat karne waley, (is shaan ke hote hain woh momin jo Allah se khareed o farokht ka yeh maamla tai karte hain) aur (aey Nabi), in momino ko khush khabri de do

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَن يَسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ لِلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ وَلَوۡ كَانُوٓاْ أُوْلِي قُرۡبَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١١٣

[9:113] After it has become clear that they are condemned to the Flaming Fire, it is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask for the forgiveness of those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity even if they be near of kin.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Nabi ko aur un logon ko jo iman laye hain, zeba nahin hai ke mushrikon ke liye magfirat ki dua karein, chahe woh unke rishtedar hi kyun na hon, jabke unpar yeh baat khul chuki hai ke woh jahannum ke mustahiq hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا كَانَ ٱسۡتِغۡفَارُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوۡعِدَةٖ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوّٞ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُۚ إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٞ ١١٤

[9:114] And Abraham's prayer for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise which he had made to him. Then, when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he dissociated himself from him. Surely Abraham was most tender-hearted, God-fearing, forbearing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Ibrahim ne apne baap ke liye jo dua e magfirat ki thi woh to us wadey ki wajah se thi jo usne apne baap se kiya tha, magar jab uspar yeh baat khul gayi ke uska baap khuda ka dushman hai to woh ussey bezar ho gaya. Haqq yeh hai ke Ibrahim bada raqeeq-ul-qalb (tender-hearted) o khuda tars aur burdbaar (Godfearing and forbearing) aadmi tha

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوۡمَۢا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَىٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يُبَيِّنَ لَهُم مَّا يَتَّقُونَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ ١١٥

[9:115] It is not Allah's way to cause people to stray in error after He has guided them until He has made clear to them what they should guard against. Surely Allah knows everything.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ka yeh tareeqa nahin hai ke logon ko hidayat dene ke baad phir gumraahi mein mubtala karey jab tak ke unhein saaf saaf bata na de ke unhein kin cheezon se bachna chahiye. Dar haqeeqat Allah har cheez ka ilm rakhta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۚ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ ١١٦

[9:116] Indeed Allah's is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He it is Who confers life and causes death. You have no protector or helper apart from Allah.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yeh bhi waqia hai ke Allah hi ke qabze mein aasmaan o zameen ki sultanat hai, usi ke ikhtiyar mein zindagi o maut hai, aur tumhara koi haami o madadgaar aisa nahin hai jo tumhein ussey bacha sakey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَّقَد تَّابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَٱلۡمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلۡأَنصَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ فِي سَاعَةِ ٱلۡعُسۡرَةِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيغُ قُلُوبُ فَرِيقٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِهِمۡ رَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١١٧

[9:117] Surely Allah has relented towards the Prophet, and towards the Muhajirun (Emigrants) and the Ansar (Helpers) who stood by him in the hour of hardship, although the hearts of a party of them had well-nigh swerved. (But when they gave up swerving from the Right Course and followed the Prophet), Allah relented towards them. Surely to them He is the Most Tender, the Most Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah ne maaf kardiya Nabi ko aur un muhajireen o ansar ko jinhon ne badi tanggi ke waqt mein Nabi ka saath diya, agarche unmein se kuch logon ke dil kaji ki taraf mayil (swerved aside) ho chuke thay (magar jab unhon ne us kaji (croockedness) ka itteba na kiya balke Nabi ka saath hi diya to) Allah ne unhein maaf kardiya, beshak uska maamla in logon ke saath shafaqat o meharbani ka hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتۡ وَضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَن لَّا مَلۡجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لِيَتُوبُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١١٨

[9:118] And He also relented towards the three whose cases had been deferred. When the earth, for all its spaciousness, became constrained to them, and their own beings became a burden to them, and they realized that there was no refuge for them from Allah except in Him; He relented towards them that they may turn back to Him. Surely, it is Allah Who is Much Forgiving, Ever Merciful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur un teeno ko bhi usne maaf kiya jinke maamle ko multawi(put off) kardiya gaya tha, jab zameen apni saari wusat (vastness) ke bawajood unpar tangg ho gayi aur unki apni jaanein bhi unpar baar honay lagi aur unhon ne jaan liya ke Allah se bachne ke liye koi jaaye panaah khud Allah hi ke daaman e rehmat ke siwa nahin hai, to Allah apni meharbani se unki taraf palta taa-ke woh uski taraf palat aayein. Yaqeenan woh bada maaf karne wala aur raheem hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ١١٩

[9:119] Believers! Have fear of Allah and stand with those that are truthful.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, Allah se daro aur sachche logon ka saath do

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

مَا كَانَ لِأَهۡلِ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ أَن يَتَخَلَّفُواْ عَن رَّسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَرۡغَبُواْ بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ لَا يُصِيبُهُمۡ ظَمَأٞ وَلَا نَصَبٞ وَلَا مَخۡمَصَةٞ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَطَـُٔونَ مَوۡطِئٗا يَغِيظُ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنۡ عَدُوّٖ نَّيۡلًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عَمَلٞ صَٰلِحٌۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٢٠

[9:120] It did not behove the people of Madinah and the bedouin Arabs around them that they should refrain from accompanying the Messenger of Allah and stay behind and prefer their own security to his. For whenever they suffer from thirst or weariness or hunger in the Way of Allah, and whenever they tread a place which enrages the unbelievers (whenever anything of this comes to pass), a good deed is recorded in their favour. Allah does not cause the work of the doers of good to go to waste.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Medina ke bashindon aur gird o nawah (dwelling around)ke badwiyon ko yeh hargiz zeba na tha ke Allah ke Rasool ko chodh kar ghar baith rehte aur uski taraf se be-parwa hokar apne apne nafs ki fikr mein lag jatey. Is liye ke aisa kabhi na hoga ke Allah ki raah mein bhook pyas aur jismani mushakkat ki koi takleef woh jhelein, aur munkireen haqq ko jo raah nagawar hai uspar koi qadam woh uthayein, aur kisi dushman se [adawat (dushmani) e haqq ka ) koi inteqam woh lein aur iske badle unke haqq mein ek amal-e-saleh na likha jaye. Yakeenan Allah ke haan mohsinon ka haqq ul khidmat maara nahin jata hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ نَفَقَةٗ صَغِيرَةٗ وَلَا كَبِيرَةٗ وَلَا يَقۡطَعُونَ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمۡ لِيَجۡزِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٢١

[9:121] Likewise, each amount they spend, be it small or large, and each journey they undertake, shall be recorded in their favour so that Allah may bestow upon them reward for their good deeds.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Isi tarah yeh bhi kabhi na hoga ke (raah e khuda mein) thoda ya bahut koi kharch woh uthayein aur ( sai e jihad mein) koi waadi(valley) woh paar karein aur unke haqq mein isey likh na liya jaye taa-ke Allah unke is acche kaarname ka sila unhein ata karey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

۞ وَمَا كَانَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُواْ كَآفَّةٗۚ فَلَوۡلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرۡقَةٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ طَآئِفَةٞ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ فِي ٱلدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡ إِذَا رَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَحۡذَرُونَ ١٢٢

[9:122] It was not necessary for the believers to go forth all together (to receive religious instruction), but why did not a party of them go forth that they may grow in religious understanding, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may avoid (erroneous attitudes)?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur yeh kuch zaroori na tha ke ehle iman sarey ke sarey hi nikal khade hotey, magar aisa kyun na hua ke unki aabadi ke har hissey mein se kuch log nikal kar aate aur deen ki samajh paida karte aur wapas jaa kar apne ilaqe ke bashindon (people) ko khabardaar karte taa-ke woh ( gair muslimana rawish se) parheiz karte

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ وَلۡيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمۡ غِلۡظَةٗۚ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ١٢٣

[9:123] Believers! Fight against the unbelievers who live around you; and let them find in you sternness. Know that Allah is with the God-fearing.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, jung karo un munkireen e haqq se jo tumse qareeb hain aur chahiye ke woh tumhare andar sakhti payein, aur jaan lo ke Allah muttaqiyon ke saath hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتۡ سُورَةٞ فَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمۡ زَادَتۡهُ هَٰذِهِۦٓ إِيمَٰنٗاۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَزَادَتۡهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَهُمۡ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ ١٢٤

[9:124] And whenever a new surah is revealed some of the hypocrites ask the believers (in jest): "Whose faith has increased because of this?" As for those who believe, it will certainly increase their faith, and they are joyful over that.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab koi nayi surat nazil hoti hai to inmein se baaz log (mazaq ke taur par musalmaano se) puchte hain ke “ kaho, tum mein se kiske iman mein issey izafa hua?” (iska jawab yeh hai ke) jo log iman laye hain unke iman mein to fil-waqai ( har nazil hone wali surat ne) izafa hi kiya hai aur woh issey dilshad (rejoicing) hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ فَزَادَتۡهُمۡ رِجۡسًا إِلَىٰ رِجۡسِهِمۡ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٢٥

[9:125] But those whose hearts are affected with the disease (of hypocrisy), every new surah added a fresh abomination to their abomination. They remained unbelievers till their death.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Albatta jin logon ke dilon ko (nifaq ka) rog laga hua tha unki saabiq najasat (filth) par (har nayi surat ne ) ek aur najasat(filth) ka izafa kardiya aur woh marte dum tak kufr hi mein mubtala rahey

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

أَوَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّهُمۡ يُفۡتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٖ مَّرَّةً أَوۡ مَرَّتَيۡنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٢٦

[9:126] Do they not see that they are tried every year once or twice? Yet they neither repent nor take heed.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Kya yeh log dekhte nahin ke har saal do martaba yeh aazmaish mein daley jatey hain? Magar ispar bhi na tawba karte hain na koi sabaq (lesson) letey hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتۡ سُورَةٞ نَّظَرَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ هَلۡ يَرَىٰكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٖ ثُمَّ ٱنصَرَفُواْۚ صَرَفَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَفۡقَهُونَ ١٢٧

[9:127] And whenever a surah is revealed, they glance at each other as though saying: "Is anyone watching?" Then they slip away. Allah has turned away their hearts for they are a people who are bereft of understanding.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab koi surat nazil hoti hai to yeh log aankhon hi aankhon mein ek dusre se baatein karte hain ke kahin koi tumko dekh to nahin raha hai, phir chupke se nikal bhaagte hain. Allah ne inke dil pher diye hain kyunke yeh na-samajh log hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولٞ مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيۡهِ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيۡكُم بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ رَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١٢٨

[9:128] There has come to you a Messenger of Allah from among yourselves, who is distressed by the losses you sustain, who is ardently desirous of your welfare and is tender and merciful to those that believe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Dekho! Tum logon ke paas ek Rasool aaya hai jo khud tumhi mein se hai, tumhara nuqsan mein padhna uspar shaaq (giran/grievous) hai, tumhari falaah ka woh harees(greedily anxious) hai, iman laney walon ke liye woh shafeeq aur raheem hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقُلۡ حَسۡبِيَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ١٢٩

[9:129] Yet, if they should turn away, then tell them: "Allah is sufficient for me; there is no god but He. In Him I have put my trust. He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
