Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance) in English

1. ثم يتوب الله من بعد ذلك على من يشاء والله غفور رحيم

   27

   Then Allah shall turn clemently after that to whomever He wishes. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

   thumma yatūbu llāhu min baʿdi dhālika ʿalā man yashāʾu wa-llāhu ghafūrun raḥīmun

2. يا أيها الذين آمنوا إنما المشركون نجس فلا يقربوا المسجد الحرام بعد عامهم هذا وإن خفتم عيلة فسوف يغنيكم الله من فضله إن شاء إن الله عليم حكيم

   28

   O you who have faith! The polytheists are indeed unclean: so let them not approach the Holy Mosque after this year. Should you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His grace, if He wishes. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū ʾinnamā l-mushrikūna najasun fa-lā yaqrabū l-masjida l-ḥarāma baʿda ʿāmihim hādhā wa-ʾin khiftum ʿaylatan fa-sawfa yughnīkumu llāhu min faḍlihī ʾin shāʾa ʾinna llāha ʿalīmun ḥakīmun

3. قاتلوا الذين لا يؤمنون بالله ولا باليوم الآخر ولا يحرمون ما حرم الله ورسوله ولا يدينون دين الحق من الذين أوتوا الكتاب حتى يعطوا الجزية عن يد وهم صاغرون

   29

   Fight those who do not have faith in Allah nor [believe] in the Last Day, nor forbid what Allah and His Apostle have forbidden, nor practise the true religion, from among those who were given the Book, until they pay the tribute out of hand, degraded.

   qātilū lladhīna lā yuʾminūna bi-llāhi wa-lā bi-l-yawmi l-ʾākhiri wa-lā yuḥarrimūna mā ḥarrama llāhu wa-rasūluhū wa-lā yadīnūna dīna l-ḥaqqi mina lladhīna ʾūtū l-kitāba ḥattā yuʿṭū l-jizyata ʿan yadin wa-hum ṣāghirūna

4. وقالت اليهود عزير ابن الله وقالت النصارى المسيح ابن الله ذلك قولهم بأفواههم يضاهئون قول الذين كفروا من قبل قاتلهم الله أنى يؤفكون

   30

   The Jews say, ‘Ezra is the son of Allah,’ and the Christians say, ‘Christ is the son of Allah.’ That is an opinion that they mouth, imitating the opinions of the faithless of former times. May Allah assail them, where do they stray?!

   wa-qālati l-yahūdu ʿuzayrun-i bnu llāhi wa-qālati n-naṣārā l-masīḥu bnu llāhi dhālika qawluhum bi-ʾafwāhihim yuḍāhiʾūna qawla lladhīna kafarū min qablu qātalahumu llāhu ʾannā yuʾfakūna

5. اتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله والمسيح ابن مريم وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا إلها واحدا لا إله إلا هو سبحانه عما يشركون

   31

   They have taken their scribes and their monks as lords besides Allah, and also Christ, Mary’s son; though they were commanded to worship only the One God, there is no god except Him; He is far too immaculate to have any partners that they ascribe [to Him]!

   ittakhadhū ʾaḥbārahum wa-ruhbānahum ʾarbāban min dūni llāhi wa-l-masīḥa bna maryama wa-mā ʾumirū ʾillā li-yaʿbudū ʾilāhan wāḥidan lā ʾilāha ʾillā huwa subḥānahū ʿammā yushrikūna
