59:1

sabbaḥa li-llāhi mā fī s-samāwāti wa-mā fī l-ʾarḍi wa-huwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīmu

Whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:2

huwa lladhī ʾakhraja lladhīna kafarū min ʾahli l-kitābi min diyārihim li-ʾawwali l-ḥashri mā ẓanantum ʾan yakhrujū wa-ẓannū ʾannahum māniʿatuhum ḥuṣūnuhum mina llāhi fa-ʾatāhumu llāhu min ḥaythu lam yaḥtasibū wa-qadhafa fī qulūbihimu r-ruʿba yukhribūna buyūtahum bi-ʾaydīhim wa-ʾaydī l-muʾminīna fa-ʿtabirū yā-ʾulī l-ʾabṣāri

It is He who expelled the faithless belonging to the People of the Book from their homes at the outset of [their] en masse banishment. You did not think that they would go out, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from Allah. But Allah came at them from whence they did not suppose and He cast terror into their hearts. They demolish their houses with their own hands and the hands of the faithful. So take lesson, O you who have insight!

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:3

wa-law-lā ʾan kataba llāhu ʿalayhimu l-jalāʾa la-ʿadhdhabahum fī d-dunyā wa-lahum fī l-ʾākhirati ʿadhābu n-nāri

If Allah had not ordained banishment for them, He would have surely punished them in this world, and in the Hereafter, there is the punishment of the Fire for them.

59:4

dhālika bi-ʾannahum shāqqū llāha wa-rasūlahū wa-man yushāqqi llāha fa-ʾinna llāha shadīdu l-ʿiqābi

That is because they defied Allah and His Apostle; and whoever defies Allah, Allah is indeed severe in retribution.

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:5

mā qaṭaʿtum min līnatin ʾaw taraktumūhā qāʾimatan ʿalā ʾuṣūlihā fa-bi-ʾidhni llāhi wa-li-yukhziya l-fāsiqīna

Whatever palm trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by Allah’s will and in order that He may disgrace the transgressors.

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:6

wa-mā ʾafāʾa llāhu ʿalā rasūlihī minhum fa-mā ʾawjaftum ʿalayhi min khaylin wa-lā rikābin wa-lākinna llāha yusalliṭu rusulahū ʿalā man yashāʾu wa-llāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun

The spoils that Allah gave to His Apostle from them, you did not spur any horse for its sake, nor any riding camel, but Allah makes His apostles prevail over whomever He wishes, and Allah has power over all things.

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:7

mā ʾafāʾa llāhu ʿalā rasūlihī min ʾahli l-qurā fa-li-llāhi wa-li-r-rasūli wa-li-dhī l-qurbā wa-l-yatāmā wa-l-masākīni wa-bni s-sabīli kay lā yakūna dūlatan bayna l-ʾaghniyāʾi minkum wa-mā ʾātākumu r-rasūlu fa-khudhūhu wa-mā nahākum ʿanhu fa-ntahū wa-ttaqū llāha ʾinna llāha shadīdu l-ʿiqābi

The spoils that Allah gave to His Apostle from the people of the townships, are for Allah and the Apostle, the relatives and the orphans, the needy and the traveller, so that they do not circulate among the rich among you. Take whatever the Apostle gives you, and refrain from whatever he forbids you, and be wary of Allah. Indeed Allah is severe in retribution.

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:8

li-l-fuqarāʾi l-muhājirīna lladhīna ʾukhrijū min diyārihim wa-ʾamwālihim yabtaghūna faḍlan mina llāhi wa-riḍwānan wa-yanṣurūna llāha wa-rasūlahū ʾulāʾika humu ṣ-ṣādiqūna

[They are also] for the poor Emigrants who have been expelled from their homes and [wrested of] their possessions, who seek grace from Allah and [His] pleasure and help Allah and His Apostle. It is they who are the truthful.

— Ali Quli Qarai

59:9

wa-lladhīna tabawwaʾū d-dāra wa-l-ʾīmāna min qablihim yuḥibbūna man hājara ʾilayhim wa-lā yajidūna fī ṣudūrihim ḥājatan mimmā ʾūtū wa-yuʾthirūna ʿalā ʾanfusihim wa-law kāna bihim khaṣāṣatun wa-man yūqa shuḥḥa nafsihī fa-ʾulāʾika humu l-mufliḥūna

[They are as well] for those who were settled in the land and [abided] in faith before them, who love those who migrate toward them, and do not find in their breasts any privation for that which is given to them, but prefer [the Immigrants] to themselves, though poverty be their own lot. And those who are saved from their own greed—it is they who are the felicitous.

— Ali Quli Qarai
