O, you who believe! What is wrong With you that when you are asked To march forth for fighting in Allah"s Way, you cling heavily to the earth? Have you chosen the life of this world Rather than the Hereafter? Whereas The enjoyment of the life of this world Is little as compared with the Hereafter;­ 1?

إِلاَّ تَنْفِرُوا یُعَذِّبْکُمْ عَذاباً أَلیماً وَ یَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَیْرَکُمْ وَ لا تَضُرُّوهُ شَیْئاً وَ اللَّهُ عَلى‏ کُلِّ شَیْ‏ءٍ قَدیرٌ (39  )

If you do not march forth, Allah will Punish you with a painful Torment and Will replace you with another people And you cannot harm Allah at all; and Allah has Power over all things;

O, Messenger! Urge the believers To fight:­ 1? If there are twenty steadfast Among you, they will overcome two Hundred, and if there are a hundred Steadfast believers, they will overcome A thousand disbelievers, because The disbelievers are a people who Have no power of understanding;

الْآنَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْکُمْ وَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ فیکُمْ ضَعْفاً فَإِنْ یَکُنْ مِنْکُمْ مِائَةٌ صابِرَةٌ یَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَیْنِ وَ إِنْ یَکُنْ مِنْکُمْ أَلْفٌ یَغْلِبُوا أَلْفَیْنِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرینَ (66  )

For the present situation, Allah has Lightened your burden of task Knowing that in your troop there is Some weakness: If there are of you a Hundred steadfast believers, they Shall overcome two hundred[ of The disbelievers ], and if there are of you A thousand[ steadfast believers ], they Shall overcome two thousand[ of The disbelievers ]by Allah"s Will; and Verily, Allah is the Supporter of The patient.

1. In a defensive position Muslims are urged to fight

to save their own lives and to protect Religion of Islam: This `Ayat was revealed when the polytheists had taken up the sword against the believers seriously.

Translation(Saffarzadeh), Page: 377

ما کانَ لِنَبِیٍّ أَنْ یَکُونَ لَهُ أَسْرى‏ حَتَّى یُثْخِنَ فِی الْأَرْضِ تُریدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْیا وَ اللَّهُ یُریدُ الْآخِرَةَ وَ اللَّهُ عَزیزٌ حَکیمٌ (67  )

It is not meet for a Messenger that he Should have the prisoners of war[ and Free them with ransom ], unless he has Defeated[ the disbelievers in The battlefield ]and has triumphed in The land; you desire the temporal profit Of this world,­ 1? but Allah Wills[ for you ]The Hereafter; and Allah is The Invincible Mighty Decreer;

لَوْ لا کِتابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّکُمْ فیما أَخَذْتُمْ عَذابٌ عَظیمٌ (68  )

Were it not for a previous Ordained Word of Allah,­ 2? a Severe Torment Would have afflicted you for that Ransom you took.

فَکُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلالاً طَیِّباً وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحیمٌ (69  )

Eat of what you have acquired as War booty, lawful and good, but fear From the disobedience of Allah"s Commands. Verily, Allah is the Merciful Forgiving.

یا أَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ قُلْ لِمَنْ فی‏ أَیْدیکُمْ مِنَ الْأَسْرى‏ إِنْ یَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ فی‏ قُلُوبِکُمْ خَیْراً یُؤْتِکُمْ خَیْراً مِمَّا أُخِذَ مِنْکُمْ وَ یَغْفِرْ لَکُمْ وَ اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحیمٌ (70  )

O, Messenger! Say to the captives Who are in your hands:" If Allah finds Good intention in your hearts,­ 3? He will Give you something better than what Has been taken from you, and He will Forgive you; for Allah is The Merciful Forgiving."

وَ إِنْ یُریدُوا خِیانَتَکَ فَقَدْ خانُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَأَمْکَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اللَّهُ عَلیمٌ حَکیمٌ (71  )

But if the disbelievers intend To betray you[ O, Messenger ]no Wonder, since[ due to denying their Creator ]they have betrayed Allah too; but Allah granted you power Over them. And Allah is the Knowing Sovereign.

Translation(Saffarzadeh), Page: 378

إِنَّ الَّذینَ آمَنُوا وَ هاجَرُوا وَ جاهَدُوا بِأَمْوالِهِمْ وَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فی‏ سَبیلِ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذینَ آوَوْا وَ نَصَرُوا أُولئِکَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِیاءُ بَعْضٍ وَ الَّذینَ آمَنُوا وَ لَمْ یُهاجِرُوا ما لَکُمْ مِنْ وَلایَتِهِمْ مِنْ شَیْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى یُهاجِرُوا وَ إِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوکُمْ فِی الدِّینِ فَعَلَیْکُمُ النَّصْرُ إِلاَّ عَلى‏ قَوْمٍ بَیْنَکُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُمْ میثاقٌ وَ اللَّهُ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ بَصیرٌ (72  )

Verily, those who believed and Migrated and strove hard and fought With their property and their lives in The Path of Allah as well as those who Gave refuge and gave help to them, These are friends and supporters of One another. And as to those who Believed but did not migrate, you have No duty to protect them until they Migrate; but if they seek your Help in the matter of Religion, it is your Responsibility to help them, except Against the people with whom you Have a covenant of mutual alliance; And Allah is the Seer of what you do.

وَ الَّذینَ کَفَرُوا بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِیاءُ بَعْضٍ إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوهُ تَکُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِی الْأَرْضِ وَ فَسادٌ کَبیرٌ (73  )

As for the disbelievers, they are Friends of one another, if you[ Muslims ]do not do so[ and do not be Friends and supporters of one Another ], there will be mischief and Corruption spread on the earth­ 1?[ Due to the influence of The disbelievers. ]

Translation(Saffarzadeh), Page: 374

إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الَّذینَ کَفَرُوا فَهُمْ لا یُؤْمِنُونَ (55  )

Verily, the worst of the moving Creatures in the Sight of Allah are Those who disbelieve and they will Never believe;

الَّذینَ عاهَدْتَ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ یَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَهُمْ فی‏ کُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَ هُمْ لا یَتَّقُونَ (56  )

[ O, Messenger! ]They are those With whom you made a covenant, but They broke the covenant every time And there is no piety in them;

فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِی الْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِمْ مَنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَذَّکَّرُونَ (57  )

So, if you could get hold of them In the battlefield, punish them severely In order to disperse those groups behind Them so that they may learn a lesson.

وَ إِمَّا تَخافَنَّ مِنْ قَوْمٍ خِیانَةً فَانْبِذْ إِلَیْهِمْ عَلى‏ سَواءٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا یُحِبُّ الْخائِنینَ (58  )

And if you[ O, Messenger ]fear Treachery from any people, throw Back their covenant to them on terms Of mutuality, for Allah dislikes The traitors.

وَ لا یَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذینَ کَفَرُوا سَبَقُوا إِنَّهُمْ لا یُعْجِزُونَ (59  )

And those who disbelieved should not Think that they can overcome you:­ 1? Verily, they will never be able To frustrate Allah"s Power.

وَ أَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَ مِنْ رِباطِ الْخَیْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَ عَدُوَّکُمْ وَ آخَرینَ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ اللَّهُ یَعْلَمُهُمْ وَ ما تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ شَیْ‏ءٍ فی‏ سَبیلِ اللَّهِ یُوَفَّ إِلَیْکُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ لا تُظْلَمُونَ (60  )

And[ to fight the enemy ]prepare Against them to the utmost, such as Armed forces and strong horses and Provisions for fighting, in order To frighten the enemy of Allah as Well as your own enemy and others Besides them, whom you do not know Them but Allah knows them; and Whatever you spend in Allah"s Way­ 1? Will be repaid to you and you shall not Be dealt with, unjustly;

وَ إِنْ جَنَحُوا لِلسَّلْمِ فَاجْنَحْ لَها وَ تَوَکَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمیعُ الْعَلیمُ (61  )
