59:1  What is in the heavens and what is in the earth glorified God; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

59:2  He is the one who drove those of the people of the Book who disbelieved forth from their houses, at the first emigration; you did not think that they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would defend them against God; but God came upon them from where they did not expect, and cast terror into their hearts. They ruined their houses with their hands and the hands of the believers; therefore take example, O you who have eyes.

59:3  Had it not been that God had prescribed for them banishment, He would have punished them in the world; and for them in the hereafter shall be the punishment of the fire.

59:4  That is because they split from God and His messenger; and whoever splits from God then indeed, God is severe in the punishment.

59:5  What palm trees you cut down or what you left standing upon their roots was by God's permission, and to disgrace the disobedient;

59:6  And whatever spoils that God gave to His messenger from these, you did not press forward after them with horse or riding camel; but God gives His messengers authority over whom He wills, and God is powerful over everything.

59:7  What God gave as spoils to His messenger from the people of the cities is God's, and the messenger's, and for kinsfolk, and the orphans, and the poor, and the wayfarer, so that it should not be circulated between the rich among you. And what the messenger gives you, take; and what he forbids you, desist from; and fear God, indeed, God is severe in the punishment.

59:8  For the poor who fled, who were driven forth from their houses and their wealth, they seek grace from God and good pleasure, and they help God and His messenger; those - they are the truthful.

59:9  And those who were settled in the abode and the faith before them, love those who fled to them; and they do not find in their breasts a need of what has been given to them; and preferring them to themselves, even though poverty was with them; and whoever is preserved from his own covetousness, then those - they are the prosperous.

59:10  And those who came after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers, those who were before us in the faith, and do not make in our hearts rancour towards those who believed - Our Lord! Indeed, you are pitying, compassionate.'

59:11  Do you not see those who were hypocritical, saying to their brothers who disbelieved among the people of the Book, 'Surely if you are driven out, surely we will definitely go out with you; and we will not obey anyone concerning you ever; and if you are fought against, surely we will definitely help you.' And God bears witness indeed they are surely liars.

59:12  Surely if they are driven out, these will not go out with them; and surely if they are fought against, these will not help them; and surely if they help them, surely they will definitely turn away the backs; then they will not be helped.

59:13  You indeed are a greater source of fear in their hearts than God; that is because they are a people who do not understand.

59:14  They will not fight against you all together except in fortified cities, or from behind walls; their valour is great among themselves; - you think of them as one body, but their hearts are separate. That is because they are a people who have no sense.

59:15  Like the example of those before them, recently; they tasted the evil result of their affair, and for them is a painful punishment.

59:16  Like the example of the devil when he said to man, 'Disbelieve.' But when he disbelieved, he said, 'Indeed, I am clear of you. Indeed, I fear God, the Lord of the worlds.'

59:17  So the end of them both shall be that they shall both be in the fire, to dwell therein forever. And that is the reward of the wrongdoers.

59:18  O you who believe! Fear God; and let each soul look to what it sends on for tomorrow; and fear God; indeed, God is aware of what you do.

59:19  And do not be like those who forget God, and He makes them forget themselves; those - they are the disobedient.

59:20  Not equal are the fellows of the fire and the fellows of the Garden; the fellows of the Garden, they are the successful.

59:21  If We had sent down this Quran upon a mountain, surely you would have seen it humbling itself, splitting asunder from the fear of God. And those parables We strike out for mankind; perhaps they may reflect.

59:22  He is God; there is no god but He. The knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Merciful, the Compassionate.

59:23  He is God; there is no god but He; the King, the Holy, the Peace, the Faithful, the Protector, the Mighty, the Repairer, the Great. - Glory be to God above what they associate.

59:24  He is God, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His are the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. And He is the Mighty, the Wise.
