وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ
And fear the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers.
(And ward off (from yourselves) the Fire) fear the Fire regarding the consumption of usury which was (prepared) created (for disbelievers) in Allah and in the prohibition of usury.
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy.
(And obey Allah and the messenger) concerning the prohibition of usury and its avoidance, (that ye may find mercy) in order that mercy encompasses you such that you are saved and not punished.
۞ وَسَارِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous
(And vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord) hasten to repent of usury and from all transgressions and reach for forgiveness from your Lord, (and for a Paradise) by means of righteous works and avoidance of usury (as wide as are the heavens and the earth) if they were to be joined to each other, (prepared) created (for those who ward off (evil)) ward off disbelief, idolatry, indecencies, and the consumption of usury;
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِى ٱلسَّرَّآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَٱلْكَٰظِمِينَ ٱلْغَيْظَ وَٱلْعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good;
And then He showed who they were, saying: (Those who spend (of that which Allah hath given them) in ease and in adversity) He says: those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is times of comfort and in times of hardship, (those who control their wrath) those who check their anger, keeping their hot-temperedness to themselves (and are forgiving towards mankind) towards slaves; (Allah loveth the good) He loves those who are kind towards slaves and freemen.
وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا۟ فَٰحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا۟ لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا۟ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah? - and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.
The following was then revealed about a man from the Helpers because he stared at, touched and kissed the wife of a man from Thaqif, saying: (And those who, when they do an evil thing) a transgression (or wrong themselves) by staring at [women], touching or kissing (remember Allah) fear Allah (and implore forgiveness for their sins) repent of their sins (�-who forgiveth sins save Allah only?) the sins of he who repents (-and will not knowingly) i.e. knowing that it is a transgression against Allah (repeat (the wrong) they did).
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَجَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ ٱلْعَٰمِلِينَ
Those - their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers.
(The reward of such will be forgiveness) of their sins (from their Lord, and Gardens beneath) beneath its trees and habitations (which rivers) of wine, water, honey and milk (flow, wherein they will abide for ever) in Paradise, never to die or leave it, (a bountiful reward for workers!) the reward of those who repent is Paradise and all that which was mentioned.
قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ سُنَنٌۭ فَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.
(Systems) with reward and forgiveness for those who repent and punishment and destruction for those who do not repent (have passed away before you) have passed in bygone nations. (Do but travel in the land and see) and reflect upon (the nature of the consequence) how the ultimate end was (for those who did deny) the messengers and did not repent of their disbelief.
هَٰذَا بَيَانٌۭ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدًۭى وَمَوْعِظَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
This [Qur'an] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah.
(This is a declaration for mankind) this Qur'an shows for mankind what is lawful and unlawful, (a guidance) from error (and an admonition) a counsel and proscription (unto those who ward off (evil)) ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies.
وَلَا تَهِنُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.
Allah then comforted them about that which befell them on the Day of Uhud, saying: (Faint not) do not weaken in front of your enemies (nor grieve) about that which you missed of booty on the Day of Uhud, for Allah will reward you in the Hereafter, just as you should not grieve about the killings and wounds inflicted on you, (for ye will overcome them) the ultimate result will be yours through triumph and domination (if ye are (indeed) believers) that triumph and domination is from Allah.
إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌۭ فَقَدْ مَسَّ ٱلْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌۭ مِّثْلُهُۥ ۚ وَتِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَآءَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers -
(If ye have received a blow) if you were harmed on the Day of Uhud, (the (disbelieving) people) the people of Mecca (have received) on the Day of Badr (a blow) harm (the like thereof) like the harm you received on the Day of Uhud: (These are (only) the vicissitudes) the days of the life of this world (which We cause to follow one another for mankind) sometimes the believers have the upper hand over the unbelievers and sometimes it is the unbelievers who have the upper hand over the believers, (to the end that Allah may know) that He may see (those who believe) at the time of jihad (and may choose witnesses from among you) He honours whom He wills among you with martyrdom; (and Allah loveth not wrong-doers) He loves not the idolaters, their religion or their domination.
