| 1. Whatever is in the 
												heavens and on earth, let it 
												declare the Praises and Glory of 
												Allah. for He is the Exalted in 
												Might, the Wise.
 2. It is He Who got out the 
												Unbelievers among the People of 
												the Book from their homes at the 
												first gathering (of the forces). 
												Little did ye think that they 
												would get out: And they thought 
												that their fortresses would 
												defend them from Allah. But the 
												(Wrath of) Allah came to them 
												from quarters from which they 
												little expected (it), and cast 
												terror into their hearts, so 
												that they destroyed their 
												dwellings by their own hands and 
												the hands of the Believers, take 
												warning, then, O ye with eyes 
												(to see)!
 
 3. And had it not been that 
												Allah had decreed banishment for 
												them, He would certainly have 
												punished them in this world: And 
												in the Hereafter they shall 
												(certainly) have the Punishment 
												of the Fire.
 
 4. That is because they resisted 
												Allah and His Messenger. and if 
												any one resists Allah, verily 
												Allah is severe in Punishment.
 
 5. Whether ye cut down (O ye 
												Muslim!) The tender palm-trees, 
												or ye left them standing on 
												their roots, it was by leave of 
												Allah, and in order that He 
												might cover with shame the 
												rebellious transgresses.
 
 6. What Allah has bestowed on 
												His Messenger (and taken away) 
												from them - for this ye made no 
												expedition with either cavalry 
												or camelry: but Allah gives 
												power to His apostles over any 
												He pleases: and Allah has power 
												over all things.
 
 7. What Allah has bestowed on 
												His Messenger (and taken away) 
												from the people of the 
												townships,- belongs to Allah,- 
												to His Messenger and to kindred 
												and orphans, the needy and the 
												wayfarer; In order that it may 
												not (merely) make a circuit 
												between the wealthy among you. 
												So take what the Messenger 
												assigns to you, and deny 
												yourselves that which he 
												withholds from you. And fear 
												Allah. for Allah is strict in 
												Punishment.
 
 8. (Some part is due) to the 
												indigent Muhajirs, those who 
												were expelled from their homes 
												and their property, while 
												seeking Grace from Allah and 
												(His) Good Pleasure, and aiding 
												Allah and His Messenger. such 
												are indeed the sincere ones:-
 
 9. But those who before them, 
												had homes (in Medina) and had 
												adopted the Faith,- show their 
												affection to such as came to 
												them for refuge, and entertain 
												no desire in their hearts for 
												things given to the (latter), 
												but give them preference over 
												themselves, even though poverty 
												was their (own lot). And those 
												saved from the covetousness of 
												their own souls,- they are the 
												ones that achieve prosperity.
 
 10. And those who came after 
												them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us, 
												and our brethren who came before 
												us into the Faith, and leave 
												not, in our hearts, rancour (or 
												sense of injury) against those 
												who have believed. Our Lord! 
												Thou art indeed Full of 
												Kindness, Most Merciful."
 
 11. Hast thou not observed the 
												Hypocrites say to their 
												misbelieving brethren among the 
												People of the Book? - "If ye are 
												expelled, we too will go out 
												with you, and we will never 
												hearken to any one in your 
												affair; and if ye are attacked 
												(in fight) we will help you". 
												But Allah is witness that they 
												are indeed liars.
 
 12. If they are expelled, never 
												will they go out with them; and 
												if they are attacked (in fight), 
												they will never help them; and 
												if they do help them, they will 
												turn their backs; so they will 
												receive no help.
 
 13. Of a truth ye are stronger 
												(than they) because of the 
												terror in their hearts, (sent) 
												by Allah. This is because they 
												are men devoid of understanding.
 
 14. They will not fight you 
												(even) together, except in 
												fortified townships, or from 
												behind walls. Strong is their 
												fighting (spirit) amongst 
												themselves: thou wouldst think 
												they were united, but their 
												hearts are divided: that is 
												because they are a people devoid 
												of wisdom.
 
 15. Like those who lately 
												preceded them, they have tasted 
												the evil result of their 
												conduct; and (in the Hereafter 
												there is) for them a grievous 
												Penalty;-
 
 16. (Their allies deceived 
												them), like the Evil One, when 
												he says to man, "Deny Allah.: 
												but when (man) denies Allah, 
												(the Evil One) says, "I am free 
												of thee: I do fear Allah, the 
												Lord of the Worlds!"
 
 17. The end of both will be that 
												they will go into the Fire, 
												dwelling therein for ever. Such 
												is the reward of the 
												wrong-doers.
 
 18. O ye who believe! Fear 
												Allah, and let every soul look 
												to what (provision) He has sent 
												forth for the morrow. Yea, fear 
												Allah. for Allah is 
												well-acquainted with (all) that 
												ye do.
 
 19. And be ye not like those who 
												forgot Allah. and He made them 
												forget their own souls! Such are 
												the rebellious transgressors!
 
 20. Not equal are the Companions 
												of the Fire and the Companions 
												of the Garden: it is the 
												Companions of the Garden, that 
												will achieve Felicity.
 
 21. Had We sent down this Qur'an 
												on a mountain, verily, thou 
												wouldst have seen it humble 
												itself and cleave asunder for 
												fear of Allah. Such are the 
												similitudes which We propound to 
												men, that they may reflect.
 
 22. Allah is He, than Whom there 
												is no other god;- Who knows (all 
												things) both secret and open; 
												He, Most Gracious, Most 
												Merciful.
 
 23. Allah is He, than Whom there 
												is no other god;- the Sovereign, 
												the Holy One, the Source of 
												Peace (and Perfection), the 
												Guardian of Faith, the Preserver 
												of Safety, the Exalted in Might, 
												the Irresistible, the Supreme: 
												Glory to Allah. (High is He) 
												above the partners they 
												attribute to Him.
 
 24. He is Allah, the Creator, 
												the Evolver, the Bestower of 
												Forms (or Colours). To Him 
												belong the Most Beautiful Names: 
												whatever is in the heavens and 
												on earth, doth declare His 
												Praises and Glory: and He is the 
												Exalted in Might, the Wise.
