Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance) in English

1. يحلفون بالله لكم ليرضوكم والله ورسوله أحق أن يرضوه إن كانوا مؤمنين

   62

   They swear to you by Allah, to please you; but Allah and His Apostle are worthier that they should please Him, should they be faithful.

   yaḥlifūna bi-llāhi lakum li-yurḍūkum wa-llāhu wa-rasūluhū ʾaḥaqqu ʾan yurḍūhu ʾin kānū muʾminīna

2. ألم يعلموا أنه من يحادد الله ورسوله فأن له نار جهنم خالدا فيها ذلك الخزي العظيم

   63

   Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Apostle, there awaits him the Fire of hell, to remain in it [forever]? That is the great disgrace.

   ʾa-lam yaʿlamū ʾannahū man yuḥādidi llāha wa-rasūlahū fa-ʾanna lahū nāra jahannama khālidan fīhā dhālika l-khizyu l-ʿaẓīmu

3. يحذر المنافقون أن تنزل عليهم سورة تنبئهم بما في قلوبهم قل استهزئوا إن الله مخرج ما تحذرون

   64

   The hypocrites are apprehensive lest a surah should be sent down against them, informing them about what is in their hearts. Say, ‘Go on deriding. Allah will indeed bring out what you are apprehensive of.’

   yaḥdharu l-munāfiqūna ʾan tunazzala ʿalayhim sūratun tunabbiʾuhum bi-mā fī qulūbihim quli stahziʾū ʾinna llāha mukhrijun mā taḥdharūna

4. ولئن سألتهم ليقولن إنما كنا نخوض ونلعب قل أبالله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزئون

   65

   If you question them [regarding their conduct], they will surely say, ‘We were just gossiping and amusing ourselves.’ Say, ‘Were you deriding Allah, His signs, and His apostles?

   wa-la-ʾin saʾaltahum la-yaqūlunna ʾinnamā kunnā nakhūḍu wa-nalʿabu qul ʾa-bi-llāhi wa-ʾāyātihī wa-rasūlihī kuntum tastahziʾūna

5. لا تعتذروا قد كفرتم بعد إيمانكم إن نعف عن طائفة منكم نعذب طائفة بأنهم كانوا مجرمين

   66

   Do not make excuses. You have disbelieved after your faith.’ If We forgive a group among you, We will punish another group, for they have been guilty.

   lā taʿtadhirū qad kafartum baʿda ʾīmānikum ʾin naʿfu ʿan ṭāʾifatin minkum nuʿadhdhib ṭāʾifatan bi-ʾannahum kānū mujrimīna

6. المنافقون والمنافقات بعضهم من بعض يأمرون بالمنكر وينهون عن المعروف ويقبضون أيديهم نسوا الله فنسيهم إن المنافقين هم الفاسقون

   67

   The hypocrites, men and women, are all alike: they bid what is wrong and forbid what is right; and are tight-fisted. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. The hypocrites are indeed the transgressors.

   al-munāfiqūna wa-l-munāfiqātu baʿḍuhum min baʿḍin yaʾmurūna bi-l-munkari wa-yanhawna ʿani l-maʿrūfi wa-yaqbiḍūna ʾaydiyahum nasū llāha fa-nasiyahum ʾinna l-munāfiqīna humu l-fāsiqūna

7. وعد الله المنافقين والمنافقات والكفار نار جهنم خالدين فيها هي حسبهم ولعنهم الله ولهم عذاب مقيم

   68

   Allah has promised the hypocrites, men and women, and the faithless, the Fire of hell, to remain in it [forever]. That suffices them. Allah has cursed them, and there is a lasting punishment for them.

   waʿada llāhu l-munāfiqīna wa-l-munāfiqāti wa-l-kuffāra nāra jahannama khālidīna fīhā hiya ḥasbuhum wa-laʿanahumu llāhu wa-lahum ʿadhābun muqīmun
