Read Surah An-Nisa

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا خُذُوْا حِذْرَكُمْ فَانْفِرُوْا ثُبَاتٍ اَوِ انْفِرُوْا جَمِیْعًا۝۷۱

O believers, take precautions, and advance in detachments, or go all together in a body.

وَ اِنَّ مِنْكُمْ لَمَنْ لَّیُبَطِّئَنَّ ۚ فَاِنْ اَصَابَتْكُمْ مُّصِیْبَةٌ قَالَ قَدْ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیَّ اِذْ لَمْ اَكُنْ مَّعَهُمْ شَهِیْدًا۝۷۲

Someone among you will surely lag behind, and if calamity should befall you, will say: "God was gracious to me that I was not among them."

وَ لَىِٕنْ اَصَابَكُمْ فَضْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ كَاَنْ لَّمْ تَكُنْۢ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ بَیْنَهٗ مَوَدَّةٌ یّٰلَیْتَنِیْ كُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَاَفُوْزَ فَوْزًا عَظِیْمًا۝۷۳

But if success comes to you from God he will say, as though no love existed between you and him: "I wish I were with them, for I would have certainly met with great success."

فَلْیُقَاتِلْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْنَ یَشْرُوْنَ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا بِالْاٰخِرَةِ ؕ وَ مَنْ یُّقَاتِلْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَیُقْتَلْ اَوْ یَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِیْهِ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا۝۷۴

Those who barter the life of this world for the next should fight in the way of God. And We shall bestow on him who fights in the way of God, whether he is killed or is victorious, a glorious reward.

وَ مَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَآءِ وَ الْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِیْنَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةِ الظَّالِمِ اَهْلُهَا ۚ وَ اجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِیًّا ۙۚ وَّ اجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ نَصِیْرًاؕ۝۷۵

What has come upon you that you fight not in the cause of God and for the oppressed, men, women and children, who pray: "Get us out of this city, O Lord, whose people are oppressors; so send us a friend by Your will, and send us a helper."

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا یُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ الطَّاغُوْتِ فَقَاتِلُوْۤا اَوْلِیَآءَ الشَّیْطٰنِ ۚ اِنَّ كَیْدَ الشَّیْطٰنِ كَانَ ضَعِیْفًا۠۝۷۶

Those who believe fight in the way of God; and those who do not, only fight for the powers of evil; so you should fight the allies of Satan. Surely the stratagem of Satan is ineffective.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ قِیْلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوْۤا اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ ۚ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقِتَالُ اِذَا فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ یَخْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ كَخَشْیَةِ اللّٰهِ اَوْ اَشَدَّ خَشْیَةً ۚ وَ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لِمَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَیْنَا الْقِتَالَ ۚ لَوْ لَاۤ اَخَّرْتَنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ قَرِیْبٍ ؕ قُلْ مَتَاعُ الدُّنْیَا قَلِیْلٌ ۚ وَ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَیْرٌ لِّمَنِ اتَّقٰی ۫ وَ لَا تُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِیْلًا۝۷۷

Have you not seen the people who were told: "Hold back your hands (from attacking), observe your devotional obligations and pay the zakat?" But when they were commanded to fight, behold, a section among them were filled with fear of men as though it were the fear of God and even more, and said: "O Lord, why did you make war compulsory for us? Why did you not allow us to live a little more?" Say to them: "How short-lived is the commerce of this world; but that of the next is best for those who fear God; and you will not be wronged the breadth of a thread."

اَیْنَ مَا تَكُوْنُوْا یُدْرِكْكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ بُرُوْجٍ مُّشَیَّدَةٍ ؕ وَ اِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَ اِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ؕ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَمَالِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا یَكَادُوْنَ یَفْقَهُوْنَ حَدِیْثًا۝۷۸

Death will overtake you wheresoever you be, even in the mightiest of towers. Yet if some good comes their way they say: "It is from God;" and if it is evil that befalls them, they say: "It is indeed from you." Say to them: "Every thing is from God." O, what has come upon the people that even this they fail to understand!

مَاۤ اَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ اللّٰهِ ؗ وَ مَاۤ اَصَابَكَ مِنْ سَیِّئَةٍ فَمِنْ نَّفْسِكَ ؕ وَ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُوْلًا ؕ وَ كَفٰی بِاللّٰهِ شَهِیْدًا۝۷۹

What comes to you of good is verily from God; and what comes to you of ill is from your own self (your actions). We have sent you as apostle to all mankind; and God is sufficient as witness.

مَنْ یُّطِعِ الرَّسُوْلَ فَقَدْ اَطَاعَ اللّٰهَ ۚ وَ مَنْ تَوَلّٰی فَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَیْهِمْ حَفِیْظًاؕ۝۸۰

He who obeys the Apostle obeys God; and if some turn away (remember) We have not sent you as warden over them.
