Read Surah At-Taubah

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اِتَّخَذُوْۤا اَحْبَارَهُمْ وَ رُهْبَانَهُمْ اَرْبَابًا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَ الْمَسِیْحَ ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ ۚ وَ مَاۤ اُمِرُوْۤا اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلٰهًا وَّاحِدًا ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ ؕ سُبْحٰنَهٗ عَمَّا یُشْرِكُوْنَ۝۳۱

They consider their rabbis and monks and the Christ, son of Mary, to be gods apart from God, even though they had been enjoined to worship only one God, for there is no god but He. Too holy is He for what they ascribe to Him!

یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یُّطْفِـُٔوْا نُوْرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَ یَاْبَی اللّٰهُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّتِمَّ نُوْرَهٗ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ۝۳۲

They wish to extinguish the light of God by uttering blasphemies; but God will not have it so, for He wills to perfect His light, however the unbelievers be averse.

هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰی وَ دِیْنِ الْحَقِّ لِیُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَی الدِّیْنِ كُلِّهٖ ۙ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ۝۳۳

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the true faith in order to make it superior to other systems of belief, even though the idolaters may not like it.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْاَحْبَارِ وَ الرُّهْبَانِ لَیَاْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْنِزُوْنَ الذَّهَبَ وَ الْفِضَّةَ وَ لَا یُنْفِقُوْنَهَا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۙ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍۙ۝۳۴

O believers, many rabbis and priests devour the possessions of others wrongfully, and keep men away from the path of God. To those who accumulate gold and silver, and do not spend in the way of God, announce the news of painful punishment.

یَّوْمَ یُحْمٰی عَلَیْهَا فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوٰی بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَ جُنُوْبُهُمْ وَ ظُهُوْرُهُمْ ؕ هٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُوْنَ۝۳۵

On the day We shall heat up (their gold) on the fire of Hell and brand their foreheads, sides and backs (and say to them): "It is this you stored up for yourselves; so now taste of what you had stored!"

اِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُوْرِ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِیْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ یَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ مِنْهَاۤ اَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الدِّیْنُ الْقَیِّمُ ۙ۬ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوْا فِیْهِنَّ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ قَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا یُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ كَآفَّةً ؕ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ۝۳۶

The number of months with God is twelve in accordance with God´s law since the day He created the heavens and the earth. Of these four are holy. This is the straight reckoning. So do not exceed yourselves during them; but fight the idolaters to the end as they fight you in like manner; and remember, God is with those Who preserve themselves from evil and do the right.

اِنَّمَا النَّسِیْٓءُ زِیَادَةٌ فِی الْكُفْرِ یُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُحِلُّوْنَهٗ عَامًا وَّ یُحَرِّمُوْنَهٗ عَامًا لِّیُوَاطِـُٔوْا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ فَیُحِلُّوْا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ ؕ زُیِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ اَعْمَالِهِمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۠۝۳۷

Intercalating a month is adding to unbelief. The unbelievers are misguided by this, for they take the same month to be sacred one year and sacrilegious the next, thus making the number of months sanctified by God accord with theirs in order to make what God has forbidden, lawful. Attractive seem to them their evil deeds; but God does not show the unbelievers the way.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ ؕ اَرَضِیْتُمْ بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ۝۳۸

What has happened to you, O believers, that when you are asked to set out in the cause of God your feet begin to drag? Do you find the life of the world so pleasing that you forget the life to come? Yet the profit of the life of this world is but meagre as compared to the life to come.

اِلَّا تَنْفِرُوْا یُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا ۙ۬ وَّ یَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ وَ لَا تَضُرُّوْهُ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۝۳۹

Unless you go out (to strive), God will inflict grievous punishment on you, and bring other people in your place, and you will not be able to harm Him in the least, for God has the power over all things.

اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّٰهُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثَانِیَ اثْنَیْنِ اِذْ هُمَا فِی الْغَارِ اِذْ یَقُوْلُ لِصَاحِبِهٖ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَنَا ۚ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِیْنَتَهٗ عَلَیْهِ وَ اَیَّدَهٗ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَ جَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰی ؕ وَ كَلِمَةُ اللّٰهِ هِیَ الْعُلْیَا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۴۰

If you do not help (the Prophet, remember) God had helped him when the infidels had forced him to leave (and he was) one of two. When both of them were in the cave, he said to his companion: "Do not grieve, for God is with us." Then God sent divine peace on him, and invisible armies for his help, and made the unbelievers´ purpose abject. Most exalted is God´s word, for God is all-mighty and all-wise.
