Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

قُلۡ

هَلۡ

تَرَبَّصُونَ

بِنَآ

إِلَّآ

إِحۡدَى

ٱلۡحُسۡنَيَيۡنِۖ

وَنَحۡنُ

نَتَرَبَّصُ

بِكُمۡ

أَن

يُصِيبَكُمُ

ٱللَّهُ

بِعَذَابٖ

مِّنۡ

عِندِهِۦٓ

أَوۡ

بِأَيۡدِينَاۖ

فَتَرَبَّصُوٓاْ

إِنَّا

مَعَكُم

مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ

Say, “Are you awaiting anything to befall us except one of the two best things: ˹victory or martyrdom˺? But We are awaiting Allah to afflict you with torment either from Him or at our hands. So keep waiting! We too are waiting with you.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:53

قُلۡ

أَنفِقُواْ

طَوۡعًا

أَوۡ

كَرۡهٗا

لَّن

يُتَقَبَّلَ

مِنكُمۡ

إِنَّكُمۡ

كُنتُمۡ

قَوۡمٗا

فَٰسِقِينَ

٥٣

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹Whether you˺ donate willingly or unwillingly, it will never be accepted from you, for you have been a rebellious people.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:54

وَمَا

مَنَعَهُمۡ

أَن

تُقۡبَلَ

مِنۡهُمۡ

نَفَقَٰتُهُمۡ

إِلَّآ

أَنَّهُمۡ

كَفَرُواْ

بِٱللَّهِ

وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ

وَلَا

يَأۡتُونَ

ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ

إِلَّا

وَهُمۡ

كُسَالَىٰ

وَلَا

يُنفِقُونَ

إِلَّا

وَهُمۡ

كَٰرِهُونَ

٥٤

And what prevented their donations from being accepted is that they have lost faith in Allah and His Messenger, they never come to prayer except half-heartedly, and they never donate except resentfully.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:55

فَلَا

تُعۡجِبۡكَ

أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ

وَلَآ

أَوۡلَٰدُهُمۡۚ

إِنَّمَا

يُرِيدُ

ٱللَّهُ

لِيُعَذِّبَهُم

بِهَا

فِي

ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ

ٱلدُّنۡيَا

وَتَزۡهَقَ

أَنفُسُهُمۡ

وَهُمۡ

كَٰفِرُونَ

٥٥

So let neither their wealth nor children impress you ˹O Prophet˺. Allah only intends to torment them through these things in this worldly life, then their souls will depart while they are disbelievers.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:56

وَيَحۡلِفُونَ

بِٱللَّهِ

إِنَّهُمۡ

لَمِنكُمۡ

وَمَا

هُم

مِّنكُمۡ

وَلَٰكِنَّهُمۡ

قَوۡمٞ

يَفۡرَقُونَ

٥٦

They swear by Allah that they are part of you, but they are not. They only say so out of fear.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:57

لَوۡ

يَجِدُونَ

مَلۡجَـًٔا

أَوۡ

مَغَٰرَٰتٍ

أَوۡ

مُدَّخَلٗا

لَّوَلَّوۡاْ

إِلَيۡهِ

وَهُمۡ

يَجۡمَحُونَ

٥٧

If only they could find a refuge, or a cave, or any hiding-place, they would rush headlong towards it.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:58

وَمِنۡهُم

مَّن

يَلۡمِزُكَ

فِي

ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ

فَإِنۡ

أُعۡطُواْ

مِنۡهَا

رَضُواْ

وَإِن

لَّمۡ

يُعۡطَوۡاْ

مِنۡهَآ

إِذَا

هُمۡ

يَسۡخَطُونَ

٥٨

There are some of them who are critical of your distribution of alms ˹O Prophet˺. If they are given some of it they are pleased, but if not they are enraged.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

وَلَوۡ

أَنَّهُمۡ

رَضُواْ

مَآ

ءَاتَىٰهُمُ

ٱللَّهُ

وَرَسُولُهُۥ

وَقَالُواْ

حَسۡبُنَا

ٱللَّهُ

سَيُؤۡتِينَا

ٱللَّهُ

مِن

فَضۡلِهِۦ

وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ

إِنَّآ

إِلَى

ٱللَّهِ

رَٰغِبُونَ

٥٩

If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger had given them and said, “Allah is sufficient for us! Allah will grant us out of His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah ˹alone˺ we turn with hope.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:60

۞ إِنَّمَا

ٱلصَّدَقَٰتُ

Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted ˹to the faith˺, for ˹freeing˺ slaves, for those in debt, for Allah’s cause, and for ˹needy˺ travellers. ˹This is˺ an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
