Read Surah Al-Fath

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

سَیَقُوْلُ لَكَ الْمُخَلَّفُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ شَغَلَتْنَاۤ اَمْوَالُنَا وَ اَهْلُوْنَا فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ۚ یَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ مَّا لَیْسَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ قُلْ فَمَنْ یَّمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْـًٔا اِنْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ ضَرًّا اَوْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ نَفْعًا ؕ بَلْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرًا۝۱۱

The Arabs of the desert who had stayed behind will now say to you: "We were occupied with our flocks and herds and families, so ask forgiveness for us. They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Tell them: "Who can prevail with God for you if He wish you harm or benefit? Surely God is well aware of what you do.

بَلْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّنْقَلِبَ الرَّسُوْلُ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِلٰۤی اَهْلِیْهِمْ اَبَدًا وَّ زُیِّنَ ذٰلِكَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَ ظَنَنْتُمْ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِ ۖۚ وَ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًۢا بُوْرًا۝۱۲

In fact you imagined that the Prophet and the faithful would never come back home; and this seemed pleasing to your hearts, and you entertained evil thoughts. You are a people lost.

وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یُؤْمِنْۢ بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ فَاِنَّاۤ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ سَعِیْرًا۝۱۳

He who does not believe in God and His Apostle (should know) We have prepared for unbelievers a blazing fire."

وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ ؕ یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا۝۱۴

To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He may forgive whosoever He please, and afflict whosoever He will. Yet God is forgiving and kind.

سَیَقُوْلُ الْمُخَلَّفُوْنَ اِذَا انْطَلَقْتُمْ اِلٰی مَغَانِمَ لِتَاْخُذُوْهَا ذَرُوْنَا نَتَّبِعْكُمْ ۚ یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یُّبَدِّلُوْا كَلٰمَ اللّٰهِ ؕ قُلْ لَّنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَا كَذٰلِكُمْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚ فَسَیَقُوْلُوْنَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُوْنَنَا ؕ بَلْ كَانُوْا لَا یَفْقَهُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا۝۱۵

Those who had stayed behind will say: "When you depart for taking the spoils, allow us to follow you." They wish to change the word of God. Tell them: "You will not follow us. That is what God has already said before." They will say: "You are envious of our gain." The fact is they understand but little.

قُلْ لِّلْمُخَلَّفِیْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ سَتُدْعَوْنَ اِلٰی قَوْمٍ اُولِیْ بَاْسٍ شَدِیْدٍ تُقَاتِلُوْنَهُمْ اَوْ یُسْلِمُوْنَ ۚ فَاِنْ تُطِیْعُوْا یُؤْتِكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَجْرًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَ اِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا كَمَا تَوَلَّیْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ یُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا۝۱۶

Say to the desert Arabs who had stayed behind: "You will be called against a formidable people. You will fight them till they surrender. If you obey, then He will give you a good reward; but if you turn back, as you had done before, He will punish you with a grievous affliction."

لَیْسَ عَلَی الْاَعْمٰی حَرَجٌ وَّ لَا عَلَی الْاَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَّ لَا عَلَی الْمَرِیْضِ حَرَجٌ ؕ وَ مَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ یُدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ۚ وَ مَنْ یَّتَوَلَّ یُعَذِّبْهُ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا۠۝۱۷

It is not binding on the blind, the lame or the sick (to follow this command); but those who obey God and His Apostle will be admitted by God to gardens with running streams; but those who turn back will suffer a painful doom.

لَقَدْ رَضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اِذْ یُبَایِعُوْنَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ مَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَاَنْزَلَ السَّكِیْنَةَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ اَثَابَهُمْ فَتْحًا قَرِیْبًاۙ۝۱۸

God was pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you under the tree, for He knew well what was in their hearts, and sent down tranquility on them, and rewarded them with an expeditious victory

وَّ مَغَانِمَ كَثِیْرَةً یَّاْخُذُوْنَهَا ؕ وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزًا حَكِیْمًا۝۱۹

And the many spoils that they were to take. God is all-mighty and all-wise.

وَعَدَكُمُ اللّٰهُ مَغَانِمَ كَثِیْرَةً تَاْخُذُوْنَهَا فَعَجَّلَ لَكُمْ هٰذِهٖ وَ كَفَّ اَیْدِیَ النَّاسِ عَنْكُمْ ۚ وَ لِتَكُوْنَ اٰیَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ یَهْدِیَكُمْ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِیْمًاۙ۝۲۰

God had promised you many spoils that you would capture; so He gave this soon enough to you, and stayed the hands of men from you that it may serve as a sign for believers, and guide you on the straight path;
