Surah Al-Ĥashr (The Exile) in English

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1. سبح لله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض وهو العزيز الحكيم

   1

   Whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.

   sabbaḥa li-llāhi mā fī s-samāwāti wa-mā fī l-ʾarḍi wa-huwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu

2. هو الذي أخرج الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب من ديارهم لأول الحشر ما ظننتم أن يخرجوا وظنوا أنهم مانعتهم حصونهم من الله فأتاهم الله من حيث لم يحتسبوا وقذف في قلوبهم الرعب يخربون بيوتهم بأيديهم وأيدي المؤمنين فاعتبروا يا أولي الأبصار

   2

   It is He who expelled the faithless belonging to the People of the Book from their homes at the outset of [their] en masse banishment. You did not think that they would go out, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from Allah. But Allah came at them from whence they did not suppose and He cast terror into their hearts. They demolish their houses with their own hands and the hands of the faithful. So take lesson, O you who have insight!

   huwa lladhī ʾakhraja lladhīna kafarū min ʾahli l-kitābi min diyārihim li-ʾawwali l-ḥashri mā ẓanantum ʾan yakhrujū wa-ẓannū ʾannahum māniʿatuhum ḥuṣūnuhum mina llāhi fa-ʾatāhumu llāhu min ḥaythu lam yaḥtasibū wa-qadhafa fī qulūbihimu r-ruʿba yukhribūna buyūtahum bi-ʾaydīhim wa-ʾaydī l-muʾminīna fa-ʿtabirū yā-ʾulī l-ʾabṣāri

3. ولولا أن كتب الله عليهم الجلاء لعذبهم في الدنيا ولهم في الآخرة عذاب النار

   3

   If Allah had not ordained banishment for them, He would have surely punished them in this world, and in the Hereafter, there is the punishment of the Fire for them.

   wa-law-lā ʾan kataba llāhu ʿalayhimu l-jalāʾa la-ʿadhdhabahum fī d-dunyā wa-lahum fī l-ʾākhirati ʿadhābu n-nāri
