47:1
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
وَصَدُّوا۟
عَن
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
أَضَلَّ
أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ
ﱉ
God will bring to nothing the deeds of those who disbelieve and bar others from the way of God,
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:2
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَعَمِلُوا۟
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
وَءَامَنُوا۟
بِمَا
نُزِّلَ
عَلَىٰ
مُحَمَّدٍۢ
وَهُوَ
ٱلْحَقُّ

كَفَّرَ

وَأَصْلَحَ

ﱜ
but He will overlook the bad deeds of those who have faith, do good deeds, and believe in what has been sent down to Muhammad––the truth from their Lord––and He will put them into a good state.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:3
ذَٰلِكَ
بِأَنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
ٱتَّبَعُوا۟
ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ
وَأَنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟

كَذَٰلِكَ
يَضْرِبُ
ٱللَّهُ
لِلنَّاسِ
أَمْثَـٰلَهُمْ
ﱰ
This is because the disbelievers follow falsehood, while the believers follow the truth from their Lord. In this way God shows people their true type.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:4
فَإِذَا
لَقِيتُمُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
فَضَرْبَ
ٱلرِّقَابِ

ﲚ
When you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike them in the neck, and once they are defeated, bind any captives firmly––later you can release them by grace or by ransom––until the toils of war have ended. That [is the way]. God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others. He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing;
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:5
سَيَهْدِيهِمْ
وَيُصْلِحُ
بَالَهُمْ
ﲞ
He will guide them and put them into a good state;
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:6
وَيُدْخِلُهُمُ
ٱلْجَنَّةَ
عَرَّفَهَا
لَهُمْ
ﲣ
He will admit them into the Garden He has already made known to them.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:7
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوٓا۟
إِن
تَنصُرُوا۟
ٱللَّهَ
يَنصُرْكُمْ
وَيُثَبِّتْ
أَقْدَامَكُمْ
ﲭ
You who believe! If you help God, He will help you and make you stand firm.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:8
وَٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا۟
فَتَعْسًۭا
لَّهُمْ
وَأَضَلَّ
أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ
ﲴ
As for the disbelievers, how wretched will be their state! God has brought their deeds to nothing.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:9
ذَٰلِكَ
بِأَنَّهُمْ
كَرِهُوا۟
مَآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
فَأَحْبَطَ
أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ
ﲽ
It is because they hate what God has sent down that He has caused their deeds to go to waste.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:10
۞ أَفَلَمْ
يَسِيرُوا۟
فِى

Have they not travelled the earth and seen how those before them met their end? God destroyed them utterly: a similar fate awaits the disbelievers.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:11
ذَٰلِكَ
بِأَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ

ءَامَنُوا۟

ﳝ
That is because God protects the believers while the disbelievers have no one to protect them:
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:12
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
يُدْخِلُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
وَعَمِلُوا۟

ﱘ
God will admit those who believe and do good deeds to Gardens graced with flowing streams; the disbelievers may take their fill of pleasure in this world, and eat as cattle do, but the Fire will be their home.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:13

We have destroyed many a town stronger than your own [Prophet]- the town which [chose to] expel you- and they had no one to help them.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:14

Can those who follow clear proof from their Lord be compared to those whose foul deeds are made to seem alluring to them, those who follow their own desires?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:15
مَّثَلُ

Here is a picture of the Garden promised to the pious: rivers of water forever pure, rivers of milk forever fresh, rivers of wine, a delight for those who drink, rivers of honey clarified and pure, [all] flow in it; there they will find fruit of every kind; and they will find forgiveness from their Lord. How can this be compared to the fate of those stuck in the Fire, given boiling water to drink that tears their bowels?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:16
وَمِنْهُم

ﲿ
Some of these people listen to you [Prophet], but, once they leave your presence, they sneer at those who have been given knowledge, saying, ‘What was that he just said?’ These are the ones whose hearts God has sealed, those who follow their own desires.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:17
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ٱهْتَدَوْا۟
زَادَهُمْ
هُدًۭى
وَءَاتَىٰهُمْ

God has increased the guidance of those who follow the right path, and given them their awareness [of Him].
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:18
فَهَلْ

What are the disbelievers waiting for, other than the Hour which will come upon them unawares? Its signs are already here, but once the Hour has actually arrived, what use will it be then to take heed?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:19
فَٱعْلَمْ

ﳨ
So [Prophet], bear in mind that there is no god but God, and ask forgiveness for your sins and for the sins of believing men and women. God knows whenever any of you move, and whenever any of you stay still.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:20

Those who believe ask why no sura [about fighting] has been sent down. Yet when a decisive sura [that mentions fighting] is sent down, you can see the sick at heart looking at you [Prophet] and visibly fainting at the prospect of death- better for them
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
47:21
طَاعَةٌۭ
