Read Surah At-Taubah

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اِنْفِرُوْا خِفَافًا وَّ ثِقَالًا وَّ جَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ اَنْفُسِكُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۴۱

O believers, go out in the cause of God, (whether) light or heavy, and strive in the service of God, wealth and soul. This is better for you if you understand.

لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِیْبًا وَّ سَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّاتَّبَعُوْكَ وَ لٰكِنْۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ ؕ وَ سَیَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ ۚ یُهْلِكُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ۠۝۴۲

(O Prophet), had the gain been close at hand, and easy the journey, they would surely have followed you; but hard was the journey and long the going. Even then they swear by God (and say): "If we had the strength we would surely have gone out with you." They are only ruining themselves, for God is aware they lie.

عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْكَ ۚ لِمَ اَذِنْتَ لَهُمْ حَتّٰی یَتَبَیَّنَ لَكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَ تَعْلَمَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ۝۴۳

May God forgive you. Why did you allow them (to stay behind) without ascertaining who spoke the truth and who were liars?

لَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ یُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ۝۴۴

Those who believe in God and the Last Day, do not ask your leave to be excused from fighting wealth and soul (in the cause of God), for God knows the pious and devout.

اِنَّمَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ ارْتَابَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِیْ رَیْبِهِمْ یَتَرَدَّدُوْنَ۝۴۵

Only they ask (for leave) who do not believe in God and the Last Day, whose hearts are full of doubt; and doubting they waver (between gain and loss).

وَ لَوْ اَرَادُوا الْخُرُوْجَ لَاَعَدُّوْا لَهٗ عُدَّةً وَّ لٰكِنْ كَرِهَ اللّٰهُ انْۢبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَ قِیْلَ اقْعُدُوْا مَعَ الْقٰعِدِیْنَ۝۴۶

If they had intended to go out (to fight) they would surely have made preparations. But God did not like their setting forth, and they were held back and told: "Stay at home with those who stay behind."

لَوْ خَرَجُوْا فِیْكُمْ مَّا زَادُوْكُمْ اِلَّا خَبَالًا وَّ لَاۡاَوْضَعُوْا خِلٰلَكُمْ یَبْغُوْنَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَ ۚ وَ فِیْكُمْ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لَهُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ۝۴۷

Had they gone out with you, they would only have been a hindrance and let loose confusion among you to create discord; for there are some in your midst who spy for them. But God knows who are the wicked.

لَقَدِ ابْتَغَوُا الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ قَلَّبُوْا لَكَ الْاُمُوْرَ حَتّٰی جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَ ظَهَرَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ وَ هُمْ كٰرِهُوْنَ۝۴۸

They had tried to create disorder before and intrigued against you, but truth came out in the end and God´s will prevailed, even though they did not like it.

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّقُوْلُ ائْذَنْ لِّیْ وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّیْ ؕ اَلَا فِی الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوْا ؕ وَ اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِیْطَةٌۢ بِالْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۴۹

And (many a one) there is among them who says: "Allow me (to stay back at home), and put me not on trial." Surely they have put themselves on trial already, and Hell will enclose the unbelievers from all sides.

اِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ۚ وَ اِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِیْبَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا قَدْ اَخَذْنَاۤ اَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ یَتَوَلَّوْا وَّ هُمْ فَرِحُوْنَ۝۵۰

If good comes your way they are vexed, but if calamity befalls you, they say: "We had taken precautions in advance;" and pleased, turn away.
