| 61:1 | | ALL THAT is in the heavens and on the earth gives glory to God. He is the Almighty, the Wise One | | 61:2 | | Believers, why do you profess what you never do | | 61:3 | | It is most odious in God‘s sight that you should say one thing and do another | | 61:4 | | God loves those who fight for His cause in ranks as firm as a mighty edifice | | 61:5 | | Tell of Moses, who said to his people: ‘Why do you seek to harm me, my people, when you know that I am sent to you by God?‘ And when they went astray, God led their very hearts astray. God does not guide the ungodly | | 61:6 | | And of Jesus son of Mary, who said to the Israelites: ‘I am sent forth to you from God to confirm the Torah already revealed, and to give joyful tidings of an apostle that will come after me whose name is Ahmad.‘¹ Yet when he brought them conspicuous signs, they said: ‘This is sorcery manifest.&lsquo | | 61:7 | | And who is more wicked than he that invents a falsehood about God when called to Islām? God does not guide the wrongdoers | | 61:8 | | They seek to extinguish the light of God with their mouths; but God will perfect His light, much as the infidels may dislike it | | 61:9 | | He it is who has sent forth His apostle with guidance and the Religion of Truth that he may exalt it above all religion, much as the idolaters may dislike it | | 61:10 | | Believers! Shall I point out to you a profitable course that will save you from a woeful scourge | | 61:11 | | Have faith in God and His apostle, and fight for God‘s cause with your wealth and with your persons; that would be best for you, if you but knew it | | 61:12 | | He will forgive you your sins and admit you to Gardens watered by running brooks; He will lodge you in goodly mansions in the Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph | | 61:13 | | And He will bestow upon you other blessings which you desire: help from God and a speedy victory. Proclaim the joyful tidings to the faithful | | 61:14 | | Believers, be God‘s helpers. When Jesus son of Mary said to the disciples: ‘Who will come with me to the help of God?‘ the disciples replied: ‘We are God‘s helpers.‘ Some among the Israelites believed, while some did not believe. We aided the believers against their enemies, and when morning came they were triumphant |
