Surah Al-Ĥashr (The Exile) in English

1. والذين جاءوا من بعدهم يقولون ربنا اغفر لنا ولإخواننا الذين سبقونا بالإيمان ولا تجعل في قلوبنا غلا للذين آمنوا ربنا إنك رءوف رحيم

   10

   And [also for] those who came in after them, who say, ‘Our Lord, forgive us and our brethren who were our forerunners in the faith, and do not put any rancour in our hearts toward the faithful. Our Lord, You are indeed most kind and merciful.’

   wa-lladhīna jāʾū min baʿdihim yaqūlūna rabbanā ghfir lanā wa-li-ʾikhwāninā lladhīna sabaqūnā bi-l-ʾīmāni wa-lā tajʿal fī qulūbinā ghillan li-lladhīna ʾāmanū rabbanā ʾinnaka raʾūfun raḥīmun

2. ألم تر إلى الذين نافقوا يقولون لإخوانهم الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب لئن أخرجتم لنخرجن معكم ولا نطيع فيكم أحدا أبدا وإن قوتلتم لننصرنكم والله يشهد إنهم لكاذبون

   11

   Have you not regarded the hypocrites who say to their brethren, the faithless from among the People of the Book, ‘If you are expelled, we will surely go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you, and if you are fought against we will surely help you,’ and Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars.

   ʾa-lam tara ʾilā lladhīna nāfaqū yaqūlūna li-ʾikhwānihimu lladhīna kafarū min ʾahli l-kitābi la-ʾin ʾukhrijtum la-nakhrujanna maʿakum wa-lā nuṭīʿu fīkum ʾaḥadan ʾabadan wa-ʾin qūtiltum la-nanṣurannakum wa-llāhu yashhadu ʾinnahum la-kādhibūna

3. لئن أخرجوا لا يخرجون معهم ولئن قوتلوا لا ينصرونهم ولئن نصروهم ليولن الأدبار ثم لا ينصرون

   12

   Surely, if they were expelled they will not go out with them, and if they were fought against they will not help them, and [even if] they were to help them they will turn their backs [to flee] and eventually they will not be helped.

   la-ʾin ʾukhrijū lā yakhrujūna maʿahum wa-la-ʾin qūtilū lā yanṣurūnahum wa-la-ʾin naṣarūhum la-yuwallunna l-ʾadbāra thumma lā yunṣarūna

4. لأنتم أشد رهبة في صدورهم من الله ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يفقهون

   13

   Indeed they have a greater awe of you in their hearts than of Allah. That is because they are a lot who do not understand.

   la-ʾantum ʾashaddu rahbatan fī ṣudūrihim mina llāhi dhālika bi-ʾannahum qawmun lā yafqahūna

5. لا يقاتلونكم جميعا إلا في قرى محصنة أو من وراء جدر بأسهم بينهم شديد تحسبهم جميعا وقلوبهم شتى ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يعقلون

   14

   They will not fight against you together except in fortified townships or from behind walls. Their fierceness is great only within themselves. You suppose them to be united, but their hearts are divided. That is because they are a lot who do not exercise their reason,

   lā yuqātilūnakum jamīʿan ʾillā fī quran muḥaṣṣanatin ʾaw min warāʾi judurin baʾsuhum baynahum shadīdun taḥsabuhum jamīʿan wa-qulūbuhum shattā dhālika bi-ʾannahum qawmun lā yaʿqilūna

6. كمثل الذين من قبلهم قريبا ذاقوا وبال أمرهم ولهم عذاب أليم

   15

   just like those who tasted the evil consequence of their conduct recently before them, and there is a painful punishment for them.

   ka-mathali lladhīna min qablihim qarīban dhāqū wabāla ʾamrihim wa-lahum ʿadhābun ʾalīmun

7. كمثل الشيطان إذ قال للإنسان اكفر فلما كفر قال إني بريء منك إني أخاف الله رب العالمين

   16

   [The hypocrites are] like Satan when he tells man to disbelieve, but when he disbelieves, he says, ‘I am absolved of you. Indeed I fear Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.’

   ka-mathali sh-shayṭāni ʾidh qāla li-l-ʾinsāni kfur fa-lammā kafara qāla ʾinnī barīʾun minka ʾinnī ʾakhāfu llāha rabba l-ʿālamīna
