Read Surah At-Taubah

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ مِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مُنٰفِقُوْنَ ۛؕ وَ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْمَدِیْنَةِ ؔۛ۫ مَرَدُوْا عَلَی النِّفَاقِ ۫ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَّرَّتَیْنِ ثُمَّ یُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عَذَابٍ عَظِیْمٍۚ۝۱۰۱

Some of the Arabs of the desert around you are hypocrites, and some of the people of Madina are stubborn in hypocrisy. You are not aware of them; We know them, and will punish them twice, and they will be sent to a harrowing doom.

وَ اٰخَرُوْنَ اعْتَرَفُوْا بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ خَلَطُوْا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّ اٰخَرَ سَیِّئًا ؕ عَسَی اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّتُوْبَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۝۱۰۲

But there are others who admit their sins of mixing good deeds with evil. It may be that God will accept their repentance, for God is forgiving and kind.

خُذْ مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَ تُزَكِّیْهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ صَلٰوتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۱۰۳

Accept the offerings they make from their wealth in order to cleanse and purify them for progress, and invoke blessings upon them. Your blessings will surely bring them peace, for God hears all and knows everything.

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ یَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَ یَاْخُذُ الصَّدَقٰتِ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیْمُ۝۱۰۴

Do they not know that God accepts the repentance of His creatures and receives what they offer in charity, and that He is forgiving and kind?

وَ قُلِ اعْمَلُوْا فَسَیَرَی اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ؕ وَ سَتُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عٰلِمِ الْغَیْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَۚ۝۱۰۵

Say to them: "Act. God will see your conduct, and so will His Apostle and the faithful; for you will in the end go back to Him, who knows the unknown and the known, who will tell you of what you were doing."

وَ اٰخَرُوْنَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِاَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِمَّا یُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَ اِمَّا یَتُوْبُ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۱۰۶

There are still some others whose affairs await the dispensation of God. He may punish or pardon them, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.

وَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَّ كُفْرًا وَّ تَفْرِیْقًۢا بَیْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ اِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ وَ لَیَحْلِفُنَّ اِنْ اَرَدْنَاۤ اِلَّا الْحُسْنٰی ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَشْهَدُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ۝۱۰۷

There are those who built a mosque on opposition and disbelief, and to cause rifts among the faithful, and to serve as an outpost for those who have warred against God and His Apostle before this. Yet they will surely swear: "We had only meant well." But God is witness that they are liars.

لَا تَقُمْ فِیْهِ اَبَدًا ؕ لَمَسْجِدٌ اُسِّسَ عَلَی التَّقْوٰی مِنْ اَوَّلِ یَوْمٍ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ فِیْهِ ؕ فِیْهِ رِجَالٌ یُّحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یَّتَطَهَّرُوْا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِیْنَ۝۱۰۸

Never set foot in that place. Only a mosque whose foundations have been laid from the very first on godliness is worthy of your visiting it. There you will find men who wish to be purified; and God loves those who are pure.

اَفَمَنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْیَانَهٗ عَلٰی تَقْوٰی مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَ رِضْوَانٍ خَیْرٌ اَمْ مَّنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْیَانَهٗ عَلٰی شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهٖ فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۝۱۰۹

Is the man who lays the foundations of his sanctum on his allegiance to God and the wish to seek His favour, better, or he who lays the foundations of his building on the edge of a bank eroded by water, which will collapse with him into the fire of Hell? But God does not guide the people who are wilfully unjust.

لَا یَزَالُ بُنْیَانُهُمُ الَّذِیْ بَنَوْا رِیْبَةً فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ۠۝۱۱۰

The edifice they have built will always fill their minds with perturbation (which will not cease) till their hearts are rent to pieces, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.
