Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance) in English

1. والسابقون الأولون من المهاجرين والأنصار والذين اتبعوهم بإحسان رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه وأعد لهم جنات تجري تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا ذلك الفوز العظيم

   100

   The early vanguard of the Emigrants and the Helpers and those who followed them in virtue—Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them forever. That is the great success.

   wa-s-sābiqūna l-ʾawwalūna mina l-muhājirīna wa-l-ʾanṣāri wa-lladhīna ttabaʿūhum bi-ʾiḥsānin raḍiya llāhu ʿanhum wa-raḍū ʿanhu wa-ʾaʿadda lahum jannātin tajrī taḥtahā l-ʾanhāru khālidīna fīhā ʾabadan dhālika l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīmu

2. وممن حولكم من الأعراب منافقون ومن أهل المدينة مردوا على النفاق لا تعلمهم نحن نعلمهم سنعذبهم مرتين ثم يردون إلى عذاب عظيم

   101

   There are hypocrites among the Bedouins around you and among the townspeople of Madinah, steeped in hypocrisy. You do not know them; We know them, and We will punish them twice, then they shall be consigned to a great punishment.

   wa-mimman ḥawlakum mina l-ʾaʿrābi munāfiqūna wa-min ʾahli l-madīnati maradū ʿalā n-nifāqi lā taʿlamuhum naḥnu naʿlamuhum sa-nuʿadhdhibuhum marratayni thumma yuraddūna ʾilā ʿadhābin ʿaẓīmin

3. وآخرون اعترفوا بذنوبهم خلطوا عملا صالحا وآخر سيئا عسى الله أن يتوب عليهم إن الله غفور رحيم

   102

   [There are] others who have confessed to their sins, having mixed up righteous conduct with other that was evil. Maybe Allah will accept their repentance. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

   wa-ʾākharūna ʿtarafū bi-dhunūbihim khalaṭū ʿamalan ṣāliḥan wa-ʾākhara sayyiʾan ʿasā llāhu ʾan yatūba ʿalayhim ʾinna llāha ghafūrun raḥīmun

4. خذ من أموالهم صدقة تطهرهم وتزكيهم بها وصل عليهم إن صلاتك سكن لهم والله سميع عليم

   103

   Take charity from their possessions to cleanse them and purify them thereby, and bless them. Indeed your blessing is a comfort to them, and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.

   khudh min ʾamwālihim ṣadaqatan tuṭahhiruhum wa-tuzakkīhim bihā wa-ṣalli ʿalayhim ʾinna ṣalātaka sakanun lahum wa-llāhu samīʿun ʿalīmun

5. ألم يعلموا أن الله هو يقبل التوبة عن عباده ويأخذ الصدقات وأن الله هو التواب الرحيم

   104

   Do they not know that it is Allah who accepts the repentance of His servants and receives the charities, and that it is Allah who is the All-clement, the All-merciful?

   ʾa-lam yaʿlamū ʾanna llāha huwa yaqbalu t-tawbata ʿan ʿibādihī wa-yaʾkhudhu ṣ-ṣadaqāti wa-ʾanna llāha huwa t-tawwābu r-raḥīmu

6. وقل اعملوا فسيرى الله عملكم ورسوله والمؤمنون وستردون إلى عالم الغيب والشهادة فينبئكم بما كنتم تعملون

   105

   And say, ‘Go on working: Allah will see your conduct, and His Apostle and the faithful [as well], and you will be returned to the Knower of the sensible and the Unseen, and He will inform you concerning what you used to do.

   wa-quli ʿmalū fa-sa-yarā llāhu ʿamalakum wa-rasūluhū wa-l-muʾminūna wa-sa-turaddūna ʾilā ʿālimi l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādati fa-yunabbiʾukum bi-mā kuntum taʿmalūna

7. وآخرون مرجون لأمر الله إما يعذبهم وإما يتوب عليهم والله عليم حكيم

   106

   [There are] others waiting Allah’s edict: either He shall punish them, or turn to them clemently, and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.

   wa-ʾākharūna murjawna li-ʾamri llāhi ʾimmā yuʿadhdhibuhum wa-ʾimmā yatūbu ʿalayhim wa-llāhu ʿalīmun ḥakīmun
