سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah. For He ˹alone˺ is the Almighty, All-Wise.

ﮛO
ﮜ(you) who
ﮝbelieve
ﮞWhy
ﮟ(do) you say

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

O believers! Why do you say what you do not do?
61:3

ﮥhatred
ﮦwith

كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

How despicable it is in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do!
61:4
ﮮIndeed
ﮯAllah
ﮰloves
ﮱthose who
ﯓfight
ﯔin
ﯕHis Way
ﯖ(in) a row
ﯗas if they
ﯘ(were) a structure
ﯙjoined firmly
ﯚ(4)

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ

Surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause in ˹solid˺ ranks as if they were one concrete structure.
61:5
ﯛAnd when
ﯜsaid
ﯝMusa
ﯞto his people
ﯟO my people
ﯠWhy
ﯡdo you hurt me
ﯢwhile certainly
ﯣyou know
ﯤthat I am
ﯥ(the) Messenger
ﯦ(of) Allah
ﯧﯨto you
ﯩThen when
ﯪthey deviated
ﯫ(was caused to) deviate
ﯬ(by) Allah
ﯭﯮtheir hearts
ﯯAnd Allah
ﯰ(does) not
ﯱguide
ﯲthe people
ﯳthe defiantly disobedient
ﯴ(5)

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِي وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوا أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

˹Remember, O  Prophet,˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Why do you hurt me when you already know I am Allah’s messenger to you?” So when they ˹persistently˺ deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate. For Allah does not guide the rebellious people.
61:6
ﭑAnd when
ﭒsaid
ﭓIsa
ﭔson
ﭕ(of) Maryam
ﭖO Children
ﭗ(of) Israel
ﭘIndeed, I am
ﭙ(the) Messenger
ﭚ(of) Allah
ﭛto you
ﭜconfirming
ﭝthat which
ﭞ(was) between
ﭟmy hands
ﭠof
ﭡthe Taurat
ﭢand bringing glad tidings
ﭣ(of) a Messenger
ﭤto come
ﭥfrom
ﭦafter me
ﭧwhose name (will be)
ﭨﭩAhmad
ﭪBut when
ﭫhe came to them
ﭬwith clear proofs
ﭭthey said
ﭮThis
ﭯ(is) a magic
ﭰclear
ﭱ(6)

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.”1 Yet when the Prophet came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is pure magic.”

Who does more wrong than the one who fabricates lies about Allah when invited to submit ˹to Him˺?1 For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
61:8
ﮄThey intend
ﮅto put out

يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

They wish to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will ˹certainly˺ perfect His light, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.

He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.
