Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance) in English

1. يريدون أن يطفئوا نور الله بأفواههم ويأبى الله إلا أن يتم نوره ولو كره الكافرون

   32

   They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah is intent on perfecting His light though the faithless should be averse.

   yurīdūna ʾan yuṭfiʾū nūra llāhi bi-ʾafwāhihim wa-yaʾbā llāhu ʾillā ʾan yutimma nūrahū wa-law kariha l-kāfirūna

2. هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله ولو كره المشركون

   33

   It is He who has sent His Apostle with the guidance and the religion of truth that He may make it prevail over all religions, though the polytheists should be averse.

   huwa lladhī ʾarsala rasūlahū bi-l-hudā wa-dīni l-ḥaqqi li-yuẓhirahū ʿalā d-dīni kullihī wa-law kariha l-mushrikūna

3. يا أيها الذين آمنوا إن كثيرا من الأحبار والرهبان ليأكلون أموال الناس بالباطل ويصدون عن سبيل الله والذين يكنزون الذهب والفضة ولا ينفقونها في سبيل الله فبشرهم بعذاب أليم

   34

   O you who have faith! Indeed many of the scribes and monks wrongfully eat up the people’s wealth, and bar [them] from the way of Allah. Those who treasure up gold and silver, and do not spend it in the way of Allah, inform them of a painful punishment

   yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū ʾinna kathīran mina l-ʾaḥbāri wa-r-ruhbāni la-yaʾkulūna ʾamwāla n-nāsi bi-l-bāṭili wa-yaṣuddūna ʿan sabīli llāhi wa-lladhīna yaknizūna dh-dhahaba wa-l-fiḍḍata wa-lā yunfiqūnahā fī sabīli llāhi fa-bashshirhum bi-ʿadhābin ʾalīmin

4. يوم يحمى عليها في نار جهنم فتكوى بها جباههم وجنوبهم وظهورهم هذا ما كنزتم لأنفسكم فذوقوا ما كنتم تكنزون

   35

   on the day when these shall be heated in hellfire and therewith branded on their foreheads, their sides, and their backs [and told]: ‘This is what you treasured up for yourselves! So taste what you have treasured!’

   yawma yuḥmā ʿalayhā fī nāri jahannama fa-tukwā bihā jibāhuhum wa-junūbuhum wa-ẓuhūruhum hādhā mā kanaztum li-ʾanfusikum fa-dhūqū mā kuntum taknizūna

5. إن عدة الشهور عند الله اثنا عشر شهرا في كتاب الله يوم خلق السماوات والأرض منها أربعة حرم ذلك الدين القيم فلا تظلموا فيهن أنفسكم وقاتلوا المشركين كافة كما يقاتلونكم كافة واعلموا أن الله مع المتقين

   36

   Indeed the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah’s Book, the day when He created the heavens and the earth. Of these, four are sacred. That is the upright religion. So do not wrong yourselves during them. Fight all the polytheists, just as they fight you all, and know that Allah is with the Godwary.

   ʾinna ʿiddata sh-shuhūri ʿinda llāhi thnā ʿashara shahran fī kitābi llāhi yawma khalaqa s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍa minhā ʾarbaʿatun ḥurumun dhālika d-dīnu l-qayyimu fa-lā taẓlimū fīhinna ʾanfusakum wa-qātilū l-mushrikīna kāffatan ka-mā yuqātilūnakum kāffatan wa-ʿlamū ʾanna llāha maʿa l-muttaqīna
