اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ

نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ

مِن قَبْلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ الْفُرْقَانَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو انتِقَامٍ

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَخْفَىَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاء

هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الأَرْحَامِ كَيْفَ يَشَاء لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

هُوَ الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاء الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاء تَأْوِيلِهِ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلاَّ أُوْلُواْ الأَلْبَابِ

رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لاَّ رَيْبَ فِيهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ
1. Alif, Lam, Mim.
2. ALLAH is HE besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining.
3. HE has sent down to thee the Book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and HE has sent down the Torah and the Gospel before this, as a guidance to the people; and HE has sent down the Discrimination.
4. Surely, those who deny the Signs of ALLAH, shall have a severe punishment. And ALLAH is Mighty, Lord of Retribution.
5. Surely, nothing in the earth or in the heaven is hidden from ALLAH.
6. HE it is who fashions you in the wombs as HE wills; there is none worthy of worship but HE, the Mighty, the Wise.
7. HE it is who has sent down to thee the Book; in it there are verses that are firm and decisive in meaning - they are the basis of the Book - and there are others that are susceptible of different interpretations. But those in whose hearts is perversity pursue such thereof as are susceptible of different interpretations, seeking to cause discord and seeking wrong interpretations of it. And none knows it except ALLAH and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge; they say, `We believe in it; the whole is from our Lord.' - And none take heed except those gifted with understanding -
8. `Our Lord, let not our hearts become perverse after Thou hast guided us, and bestow on us mercy from Thyself; surely Thou art the Great Bestower;
9. `Our Lord, Thou wilt certainly assemble mankind together on the Day about which there is no doubt; surely, ALLAH never fails in HIS promise.'



1- "Alif" (A) - "Lam" (L) - "Mim" (M). Ce sont des lettres vocales placées ici pour démontrer que le Coran inimitable est composé à partir de ces lettres, et pour attirer l'attention des gens afin qu'ils l'écoutent.
2- Allah est unique, il n'y a nulle autre divinité que Lui. L'organisation et la perfection qui sont dans le monde témoignent de cela. C'est Lui Le Vivant qui ne meurt jamais, qui régit le monde et l'organise.
3- Le Coran te fut révélé, ô Mohammad, avec la Vérité de toutes les législations divines que renfermaient les Livres précédents. Allah a révélé avant lui la Torah à Moïse et l'Evangile à Jésus.
4- Ces Livres furent révélés avant le Coran pour guider les hommes. Quand ils s'en écartèrent, Allah révéla le Coran pour distinguer le vrai du faux, le Droit Chemin de l'égarement. Le Coran est le Livre véridique et éternel. Tous ceux qui se sont détournés de ce qu'Allah y a révélé et ont renié ses versets, subiront un supplice douloureux. Allah est Puissant, rien ne peut avoir raison de Lui, Il se venge de ceux qui ont mérité Sa colère.
5- Allah connaît parfaitement toute chose; rien sur la terre ni dans le ciel, qu'il soit petit ou grand, visible ou caché, ne Lui échappe.
6- C'est Lui qui vous façonne sous des aspects différents et comme Il le veut, alors que vous êtes à l'état d'embryon dans les matrices. Il n'y a d'autre divinité que Lui, Le Puissant dans Son Royaume, Le Sage dans Ses actions.(1)
-------------------
(1) Ce verset signale l'un des aspects du pouvoir miraculeux d'Allah, Le Créateur: il s'agit de la métamorphose de l'ovule fécondé - qui est une cellule unique - en un être parfait composé d'appareils, d'organes et de milliers de cellules formant les tissus. Au fur et à mesure, Le Coran exposera les différentes phases du développement de l'embryon. Mais ce verset précise tout particulièrement la volonté d'Allah dans le façonnement de l'embryon; Allah dépose dans l'ovule tous les facteurs héréditaires qui déterminent le sexe du nouveau-né, ses caractéristiques physiques et morales, et les composantes essentielles de sa personnalité; tout cela conformément à la volonté absolue d'Allah.
7- C'est Lui qui t'a révélé le Coran. Par Sa sagesse, Il rendit certains versets précis ayant un sens déterminé et un but évident qui sont la base et auxquels on se réfère; Il fit d'autres versets qui se ressemblent et dont le sens échappe à beaucoup de gens et qui prêtent à confusion pour ceux dont le savoir n'est pas sûr. Ces versets qui se ressemblent ont été révélés afin d'inciter les ulémas à se tourner vers la science, l'observation, et la réflexion minutieuse dans les affaires de la religion. Quant à ceux qui s'égarent loin de la Vérité, ils recherchent les versets qui se ressemblent dans Le Coran, en vue de semer la discorde; et ils les interprétent selon leurs passions. Or, c'est Allah qui connaît l'interprétation véritable de ces versets. Ceux qui sont enracinés dans la science disent: "Nous sommes certains que cela vient de la part d'Allah; notre foi dans le Coran ne fait pas de distinction entre ses versets précis et ses versets qui se ressemblent. Seuls les gens doués de raison, qui ne se soumettent pas à leurs passions ni à leurs penchants, comprennent cela".
8- Ces savants raisonnables disent: "O notre Seigneur, fais que nos coeurs ne s'écartent pas de la Vérité après nous y avoir guidés et accorde-nous - ô Allah - une miséricorde de Ta part en nous octroyant le succès et la certitude. Tu es Celui qui octroie et qui prive.
9- O notre Seigneur, Tu vas rassembler les gens en un jour qui ne fait aucun doute, afin de rétribuer chacun pour ce qu'il a fait. Tu as promis cela et Tu ne manques jamais à Tes promesses".

SÙra 3 Àl-i-ÝImrÁn
Die Sippe ÝImrÁns
Im Namen Allahs, des Allerbarmers, des Barmherzigen
1. Alif-LÁm-MÐm
1
2. Allah – es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Lebendigen und Beständigen
2
.
3. Er hat dir das Buch mit der Wahrheit offenbart, das zu bestätigen, was vor ihm
(offenbart) war. Und Er hat (auch) die Thora und das Evangelium (als
Offenbarung) herabgesandt,
4. zuvor, als Rechtleitung für die Menschen. Und Er hat die Unterscheidung
herabgesandt. Gewiß, diejenigen, die Allahs Zeichen verleugnen, für sie wird es
strenge Strafe geben. Allah ist Allmächtig und Besitzer von Vergeltungsgewalt.
5. Vor Allah ist nichts verborgen, weder auf der Erde noch im Himmel.
6. Er ist es, Der euch im Mutterleib gestaltet, wie Er will. Es gibt keinen Gott außer
Ihm, dem Allmächtigen und Allweisen.
7. Er ist es, Der das Buch (als Offenbarung) auf dich herabgesandt hat. Dazu gehören
eindeutige Verse – sie sind der Kern des Buches – und andere, mehrdeutige. Was
aber diejenigen angeht, in deren Herzen (Neigung zum) Abschweifen ist, so folgen
sie dem, was davon mehrdeutig ist, im Trachten nach Irreführung und im Trachten
nach ihrer Mißdeutung. Aber niemand weiß ihre Deutung außer Allah. Und
diejenigen, die im Wissen fest gegründet sind, sagen: „Wir glauben daran; alles ist
von unserem Herrn.“ Aber nur diejenigen bedenken
3
, die Verstand besitzen.
8. Unser Herr, lasse unsere Herzen nicht abschweifen, nachdem Du uns rechtgeleitet
hast, und schenke uns Erbarmen von Dir aus. Du bist ja der unablässig
Schenkende.
9. Unser Herr, Du wirst die Menschen gewiß zu einem Tag versammeln, an dem es
keinen Zweifel gibt. Allah bricht nicht, was Er versprochen hat.

Surah 3. The Family Of 'Imran, The House Of 'Imran
1. A. L. M.

2. Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal.

3. It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).

4. Then those who reject Faith in the Signs of Allah will suffer the severest penalty, and Allah is Exalted in Might, Lord of Retribution.

5. From Allah, verily nothing is hidden on earth or in the heavens.

6. He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

7. He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.

8. "Our Lord!" (they say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure.

9. "Our Lord! Thou art He that will gather mankind Together against a day about which there is no doubt; for Allah never fails in His promise."

10. Those who reject Faith,- neither their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them aught against Allah. They are themselves but fuel for the Fire.

11. (Their plight will be) no better than that of the people of Pharaoh, and their predecessors: They denied our Signs, and Allah called them to account for their sins. For Allah is strict in punishment.

12. Say to those who reject Faith: "Soon will ye be vanquished and gathered together to Hell,-an evil bed indeed (to lie on)!

13. "There has already been for you a Sign in the two armies that met (in combat): One was fighting in the cause of Allah, the other resisting Allah. these saw with their own eyes Twice their number. But Allah doth support with His aid whom He pleaseth. In this is a warning for such as have eyes to see."

14. Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).

15. Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath; therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (and holy); and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah.s sight are (all) His servants,-

16. (Namely), those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us, then, our sins, and save us from the agony of the Fire;"-

17. Those who show patience, Firmness and self-control; who are true (in word and deed); who worship devoutly; who spend (in the way of Allah.; and who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.

18. There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

19. The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.

20. So if they dispute with thee, say: "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah.s sight are (all) His servants.

21. As to those who deny the Signs of Allah and in defiance of right, slay the prophets, and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind, announce to them a grievous penalty.

22. They are those whose works will bear no fruit in this world and in the Hereafter nor will they have anyone to help.

23. Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who have been given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah, to settle their dispute, but a party of them Turn back and decline (The arbitration).

24. This because they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days": For their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.

25. But how (will they fare) when we gather them together against a day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without (favour or) injustice?

26. Say: "O Allah. Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power.

27. "Thou causest the night to gain on the day, and thou causest the day to gain on the night; Thou bringest the Living out of the dead, and Thou bringest the dead out of the Living; and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest, without measure."

28. Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah. except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.

29. Say: "Whether ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth. And Allah has power over all things.

30. "On the Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself. And Allah is full of kindness to those that serve Him."

31. Say: "If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

32. Say: "Obey Allah and His Messenger.: But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith.

33. Allah did choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-

34. Offspring, one of the other: And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

35. Behold! a woman of 'Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things."

36. When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and Allah knew best what she brought forth- "And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."

37. Right graciously did her Lord accept her: He made her grow in purity and beauty: To the care of Zakariya was she assigned. Every time that he entered (Her) chamber to see her, He found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Mary! Whence (comes) this to you?" She said: "From Allah. for Allah Provides sustenance to whom He pleases without measure."

38. There did Zakariya pray to his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant unto me from Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!

39. While he was standing in prayer in the chamber, the angels called unto him: "(Allah) doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya, witnessing the truth of a Word from Allah, and (be besides) noble, chaste, and a prophet,- of the (goodly) company of the righteous."

40. He said: "O my lord! How shall I have a son seeing I am very old and my wife is barren?" "Thus" was the answer "doth Allah accomplish whatt He willeth."

41. He said: "O my Lord! Give me a Sign!" "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three days but with signals. Then celebrate the praises of thy Lord again and again, and glorify Him in the evening and in the morning."

42. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.

43. "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."

44. This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger.) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).

45. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.

46. "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."

47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

48. "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,

49. "And (appoint him) an apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah.s leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah.s leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;

50. "'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.

51. "'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"

52. When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah." Said the disciples: "We are Allah.s helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.

53. "Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger. then write us down among those who bear witness."

54. And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

55. Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.

56. "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

57. "As to those who believe and work righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full) their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong."

58. "This is what we rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."

59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

60. The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.

61. If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

62. This is the true account: There is no god except Allah. and Allah.He is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

63. But if they turn back, Allah hath full knowledge of those who do mischief.

64. Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah. that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah.s Will).

65. Ye People of the Book! Why dispute ye about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding?

66. Ah! Ye are those who fell to disputing (Even) in matters of which ye had some knowledge! but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and ye who know not!

67. Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah.s (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.

68. Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Messenger and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith.

69. It is the wish of a section of the People of the Book to lead you astray. But they shall lead astray (Not you), but themselves, and they do not perceive!

70. Ye People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, of which ye are (Yourselves) witnesses?

71. Ye People of the Book! Why do ye clothe Truth with falsehood, and conceal the Truth, while ye have knowledge?

72. A section of the People of the Book say: "Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers, but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) Turn back;

73. "And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say: "True guidance is the Guidance of Allah. (Fear ye) Lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) Like unto that which was sent unto you? or that those (Receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your Lord?" Say: "All bounties are in the hand of Allah. He granteth them to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."

74. For His Mercy He specially chooseth whom He pleaseth; for Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded.

75. Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.

76. Nay.- Those that keep their plighted faith and act aright,-verily Allah loves those who act aright.

77. As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter: Nor will Allah (Deign to) speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleans them (of sin): They shall have a grievous penalty.

78. There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, "That is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!

79. It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah.s": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."

80. Nor would he instruct you to take angels and prophets for Lords and patrons. What! would he bid you to unbelief after ye have bowed your will (To Allah in Islam)?

81. Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you an apostle, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

82. If any turn back after this, they are perverted transgressors.

83. Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah.-while all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, bowed to His Will (Accepted Islam), and to Him shall they all be brought back.

84. Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."

85. If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah., never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).

86. How shall Allah Guide those who reject Faith after they accepted it and bore witness that the Messenger was true and that Clear Signs had come unto them? but Allah guides not a people unjust.

87. Of such the reward is that on them (rests) the curse of Allah, of His angels, and of all mankind;-

88. In that will they dwell; nor will their penalty be lightened, nor respite be (their lot);-

89. Except for those that repent (Even) after that, and make amends; for verily Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

90. But those who reject Faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith,- never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray.

91. As to those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- never would be accepted from any such as much gold as the earth contains, though they should offer it for ransom. For such is (in store) a penalty grievous, and they will find no helpers.

92. By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth Allah knoweth it well.

93. All food was lawful to the Children of Israel, except what Israel Made unlawful for itself, before the Law (of Moses) was revealed. Say: "Bring ye the Law and study it, if ye be men of truth."

94. If any, after this, invent a lie and attribute it to Allah, they are indeed unjust wrong-doers.

95. Say: "(Allah) speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans."

96. The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka: Full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings:

97. In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah,- those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures.

98. Say: "O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?"

99. Say: "O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah.s Covenant)? but Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do."

100. O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed!

101. And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of Allah, and among you Lives the Messenger. Whoever holds firmly to Allah will be shown a way that is straight.

102. O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam.

103. And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah.s favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.

104. Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.

105. Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty,-

106. On the Day when some faces will be (lit up with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: To those whose faces will be black, (will be said): "Did ye reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith."

107. But those whose faces will be (lit with) white,- they will be in (the light of) Allah.s mercy: therein to dwell (for ever).

108. These are the Signs of Allah. We rehearse them to thee in Truth: And Allah means no injustice to any of His creatures.

109. To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: To Him do all questions go back (for decision).

110. Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.

111. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight you, they will show you their backs, and no help shall they get.

112. Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.

113. Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration.

114. They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.

115. Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knoweth well those that do right.

116. Those who reject Faith,- neither their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them aught against Allah. They will be companions of the Fire,- dwelling therein (for ever).

117. What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

118. O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs, if ye have wisdom.

119. Ah! ye are those who love them, but they love you not,- though ye believe in the whole of the Book. When they meet you, they say, "We believe": But when they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage. Say: "Perish in your rage; Allah knoweth well all the secrets of the heart."

120. If aught that is good befalls you, it grieves them; but if some misfortune overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if ye are constant and do right, not the least harm will their cunning do to you; for Allah Compasseth round about all that they do.

121. Remember that morning Thou didst leave Thy household (early) to post the faithful at their stations for battle: And Allah heareth and knoweth all things:

122. Remember two of your parties Meditated cowardice; but Allah was their protector, and in Allah should the faithful (Ever) put their trust.

123. Allah had helped you at Badr, when ye were a contemptible little force; then fear Allah. thus May ye show your gratitude.

124. Remember thou saidst to the Faithful: "Is it not enough for you that Allah should help you with three thousand angels (Specially) sent down?

125. "Yea, - if ye remain firm, and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand angels Making a terrific onslaught.

126. Allah made it but a message of hope for you, and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah. The Exalted, the Wise:

127. That He might cut off a fringe of the Unbelievers or expose them to infamy, and they should then be turned back, frustrated of their purpose.

128. Not for thee, (but for Allah., is the decision: Whether He turn in mercy to them, or punish them; for they are indeed wrong-doers.

129. To Allah belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth. He forgiveth whom He pleaseth and punisheth whom He pleaseth; but Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

130. O ye who believe! Devour not usury, doubled and multiplied; but fear Allah. that ye may (really) prosper.

131. Fear the Fire, which is repaired for those who reject Faith:

132. And obey Allah and the Messenger. that ye may obtain mercy.

133. Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous,-

134. Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;-

135. And those who, having done something to be ashamed of, or wronged their own souls, earnestly bring Allah to mind, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah.- and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done.

136. For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath,- an eternal dwelling: How excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!

137. Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.

138. Here is a plain statement to men, a guidance and instruction to those who fear Allah.

139. So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: For ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith.

140. If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks Martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

141. Allah.s object also is to purge those that are true in Faith and to deprive of blessing Those that resist Faith.

142. Did ye think that ye would enter Heaven without Allah testing those of you who fought hard (In His Cause) and remained steadfast?

143. Ye did indeed wish for death before ye met him: Now ye have seen him with your own eyes, (And ye flinch!)

144. Muhammad is no more than an apostle: many Were the apostle that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.

145. Nor can a soul die except by Allah.s leave, the term being fixed as by writing. If any do desire a reward in this life, We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve us with) gratitude.

146. How many of the prophets fought (in Allah.s way), and with them (fought) Large bands of godly men? but they never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah.s way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give in. And Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast.

147. All that they said was: "Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything We may have done that transgressed our duty: Establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith."

148. And Allah gave them a reward in this world, and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. For Allah Loveth those who do good.

149. O ye who believe! If ye obey the Unbelievers, they will drive you back on your heels, and ye will turn back (from Faith) to your own loss.

150. Nay, Allah is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.

151. Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!

152. Allah did indeed fulfil His promise to you when ye with His permission Were about to annihilate your enemy,-until ye flinched and fell to disputing about the order, and disobeyed it after He brought you in sight (of the booty) which ye covet. Among you are some that hanker after this world and some that desire the Hereafter. Then did He divert you from your foes in order to test you but He forgave you: For Allah is full of grace to those who believe.

153. Behold! ye were climbing up the high ground, without even casting a side glance at any one, and the Messenger in your rear was calling you back. There did Allah give you one distress after another by way of requital, to teach you not to grieve for (the booty) that had escaped you and for (the ill) that had befallen you. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.

154. After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah.suspicions due to ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah.s." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death"; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.

155. Those of you who turned back on the day the two hosts Met,-it was Satan who caused them to fail, because of some (evil) they had done. But Allah Has blotted out (their fault): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

156. O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are travelling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: "If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain." This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye do.

157. And if ye are slain, or die, in the way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all they could amass.

158. And if ye die, or are slain, Lo! it is unto Allah that ye are brought together.

159. It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee: so pass over (Their faults), and ask for ((Allah)'s) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast Taken a decision put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).

160. If Allah helps you, none can overcome you: If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? in Allah, then, Let believers put their trust.

161. No prophet could (ever) be false to his trust. If any person is so false, He shall, on the Day of Judgment, restore what he misappropriated; then shall every soul receive its due,- whatever it earned,- and none shall be dealt with unjustly.

162. Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah Like the man who draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and whose abode is in Hell?- A woeful refuge!

163. They are in varying gardens in the sight of Allah, and Allah sees well all that they do.

164. Allah did confer a great favour on the believers when He sent among them an apostle from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, sanctifying them, and instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while, before that, they had been in manifest error.

165. What! When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- "Whence is this?" Say (to them): "It is from yourselves: For Allah hath power over all things."

166. What ye suffered on the day the two armies Met, was with the leave of Allah, in order that He might test the believers,-

167. And the Hypocrites also. These were told: "Come, fight in the way of Allah, or (at least) drive (The foe from your city)." They said: "Had we known how to fight, we should certainly have followed you." They were that day nearer to Unbelief than to Faith, saying with their lips what was not in their hearts but Allah hath full knowledge of all they conceal.

168. (They are) the ones that say, (of their brethren slain), while they themselves sit (at ease): "If only they had listened to us they would not have been slain." Say: "Avert death from your own selves, if ye speak the truth."

169. Think not of those who are slain in Allah.s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;

170. They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah. And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.

171. They glory in the Grace and the bounty from Allah, and in the fact that Allah suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least).

172. Of those who answered the call of Allah and the Messenger, even after being wounded, those who do right and refrain from wrong have a great reward;-

173. Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": And frightened them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They said: "For us Allah sufficeth, and He is the best disposer of affairs."

174. And they returned with Grace and bounty from Allah. no harm ever touched them: For they followed the good pleasure of Allah. And Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded.

175. It is only the Evil One that suggests to you the fear of his votaries: Be ye not afraid of them, but fear Me, if ye have Faith.

176. Let not those grieve thee who rush headlong into Unbelief: Not the least harm will they do to Allah. Allah.s plan is that He will give them no portion in the Hereafter, but a severe punishment.

177. Those who purchase Unbelief at the price of faith,- not the least harm will they do to Allah, but they will have a grievous punishment.

178. Let not the Unbelievers think that our respite to them is good for themselves: We grant them respite that they may grow in their iniquity: But they will have a shameful punishment.

179. Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which ye are now, until He separates what is evil from what is good nor will He disclose to you the secrets of the Unseen. But He chooses of His Messenger. (For the purpose) whom He pleases. So believe in Allah. And His apostles: And if ye believe and do right, ye have a reward without measure.

180. And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah Hath given them of His Grace, think that it is good for them: Nay, it will be the worse for them: soon shall the things which they covetously withheld be tied to their necks Like a twisted collar, on the Day of Judgment. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

181. Allah hath heard the taunt of those who say: "Truly, Allah is indigent and we are rich!"- We shall certainly record their word and (their act) of slaying the prophets in defiance of right, and We shall say: "Taste ye the penalty of the Scorching Fire!

182. "This is because of the (unrighteous deeds) which your hands sent on before ye: For Allah never harms those who serve Him."

183. They (also) said: "(Allah) took our promise not to believe in an apostle unless He showed us a sacrifice consumed by Fire (From heaven)." Say: "There came to you apostles before me, with clear Signs and even with what ye ask for: why then did ye slay them, if ye speak the truth?"

184. Then if they reject thee, so were rejected apostles before thee, who came with Clear Signs, Books of dark prophecies, and the Book of Enlightenment.

185. Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.

186. Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your personal selves; and ye shall certainly Hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the Book before you and from those who worship many gods. But if ye persevere patiently, and guard against evil,-then that will be a determining factor in all affairs.

187. And remember Allah took a covenant from the People of the Book, to make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it; but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And vile was the bargain they made!

188. Think not that those who exult in what they have brought about, and love to be praised for what they have not done,- think escape the penalty. For them is a penalty Grievous indeed.

189. To Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and Allah hath power over all things.

190. Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,-

191. Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire.

192. "Our Lord! any whom Thou dost admit to the Fire, Truly Thou coverest with shame, and never will wrong-doers Find any helpers!

193. "Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, 'Believe ye in the Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.

194. "Our Lord! Grant us what Thou didst promise unto us through Thine apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment: For Thou never breakest Thy promise."

195. And their Lord hath accepted of them, and answered them: "Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female: Ye are members, one of another: Those who have left their homes, or been driven out therefrom, or suffered harm in My Cause, or fought or been slain,- verily, I will blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath;- A reward from the presence of Allah, and from His presence is the best of rewards."

196. Let not the strutting about of the Unbelievers through the land deceive thee:

197. Little is it for enjoyment: Their ultimate abode is Hell: what an evil bed (To lie on)!

198. On the other hand, for those who fear their Lord, are Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath; therein are they to dwell (for ever),- a gift from the presence of Allah. and that which is in the presence of Allah is the best (bliss) for the righteous.

199. And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book, those who believe in Allah, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to Allah. They will not sell the Signs of Allah for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account.

200. O ye who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah. that ye may prosper.

Muhammad (sura)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


9th century North African folio of ayah 9-15Surat Muhammad (Arabic: سورة محمد Muḥammad) is the 47th sura of the Qur'an with 38 ayat.

The surah orders believers to obey Muhammad and not to reject any part of what he has revealed, as well as to "smite" and "subdue" the "unbelievers" in battle.[Qur'an 47:4]. This is often used against Muslims to describe their religion as violent, but it cannot be taken out of context; the verse refers to the Battle of Badr, where the Meccans were gathering an army to atack Medina. This verse simply commanded the Muslims to defend themselves from this threat, and is not applicable in modern times. However, although Islam maintains peace and orders its followers to treat all peoples with the due respect reserved for God's creations, this surah explicitly states in verse 7, "Oh you who believe! If you make God victorious, then He will make you victorious and make your foothold firm." The mandate is quite clear: the believer must strive to do good works in God's name alone for that is his/her purpose on this Earth, in turn God will provide everything for the believer to ensure that his/her good works continue. These "good works" must be actions that are commanded by God, namely being charitable and generous; seeking justice and equality; and being in a state of continual repentance and mindfulness of the Creator. These "good works" will not be accepted if they are innovations—basically actions otherwise not prescribed in the Qur'an and Sunnah.




In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ


(as for) those who disbelieve and turn away from allah's way, he shall render their works ineffective (1)
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ﴿1﴾


and (as for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to muhammad, and it is the very truth from their lord, he will remove their evil from them and improve their condition (2)
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَآمَنُوا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ ﴿2﴾


that is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and have given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers (3)
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَأَنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ ﴿3﴾


so when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. that (shall be so); and if allah had pleased he would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that he may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of allah, he will by no means allow their deeds to perish (4)
فَإِذا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَاء حَتَّى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا ذَلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ لَانتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَكِن لِّيَبْلُوَ بَعْضَكُم بِبَعْضٍ وَالَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ﴿4﴾


he will guide them and improve their condition (5)
سَيَهْدِيهِمْ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْ ﴿5﴾


and cause them to enter the garden which he has made known to them (6)
وَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ ﴿6﴾


o you who believe ! if you help (the cause of) allah, he will help you and make firm your feet (7)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ ﴿7﴾


and (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is destruction and he has made their deeds ineffective (8)
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَتَعْسًا لَّهُمْ وَأَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ﴿8﴾


that is because they hated what allah revealed, so he rendered their deeds null (9)
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ﴿9﴾


have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them: allah brought down destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it (10)
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ دَمَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلِلْكَافِرِينَ أَمْثَالُهَا ﴿10﴾

سورة محمد (صلى الله عليه وسلم)



إعلان الحرب على الجاحدين، وتطمين المؤمنين

أحكام القتال والأسرى والشهداء

تخويف الله المشركين من عاقبة الكفر

جزاء المؤمنين المتقين والكافرين الظالمين

بيان حال المنافقين والمهتدين

ردة فعل المنافقين والمؤمنين عند نزول آيات الجهاد

حال المنافقين بعد ردتهم، وعند قبض أرواحهم والتذكير بحكمة الجهاد

حال الصادين عن سبيل الله، والأمر بطاعته عز وجل

تأكيد الحث على الجهاد بالتزهيد في الدنيا



بَين يَدَي السُّورَة



* سورة محمد من السور المدنية، وهي تُعْنى بالأحكام التشريعية، شأن سائر السور المدنية، وقد تناولت السورة أحكام القتال، والأسرى، والغنائم، وأحوال المنافقين، ولكنَّ المحور الذي تدور عليه السورة هو موضوع "الجهاد في سبيل الله"؟

La grotta di Hira. Su un estemporaneo cartello qualcuno ha vergato i primi versetti coranici rivelati, che aprono quella che è ora la sura 96La Mecca[1] (arabo: مكة المكرّمة, Makkah ), ovvero Makkah al-Mukarrama ("Makkah l'onoratissima"), in antico Makoraba, è una città dell'Arabia Saudita occidentale, situata nella regione del Hijàz. Capoluogo della provincia omonima, è per antonomasia la città santa (prima di Medina e Gerusalemme) per i musulmani. È la città in cui è nato il profeta Maometto, ricordato come fondatore dell'Islam.

Di essa non si sa molto prima dell'Islam. Centro di importanti scambi commerciali (mawṣim) e di raduno spirituale, Mecca era dominata dalla tribù dei Banu Quraysh che l'avevano strappata ai Banū Khuzāʿa originari dello Yemen, a loro volta diventati signori del centro urbano ai danni dei B. Jurhum.

La rilevanza commerciale dipendeva dal fatto che - come ricorda lo stesso Corano - i Quraysh organizzavano ogni anno almeno due gigantesche carovane che univano il meridione arabo (oasi di Najrān) al settentrione siro-palestinese (centro di Gaza). Queste carovane, che raggiungevano a volte la consistenza anche di quasi 2 mila dromedari, percorrevano l'intera tratta lungo la cosiddetta "via del Ḥijāz" in poco più di 60 giorni e sostavano lì dove era possibile far abbeverare bestie e uomini. Una di queste soste era appunto la città di Mecca, nella spianata che ospitava il santuario preislamico della Kaʿba.

L'importanza spirituale era direttamente collegabile proprio a questo edificio sacro. Inizialmente esso custodiva la divinità tribale urbana di Hubal ma presto, per agevolare la sosta dei carovanieri e dei pellegrini, nella Kaʿba furono accolti numerosissimi altri idoli, venerati dalla maggior parte delle popolazioni arabe peninsulari, che furono distrutti nel 630 dal profeta Maometto subito dopo aver conquistato la sua città natale.

Chiamata in epoca preislamica Bakka, Maometto aveva circa quarant'anni quando, rifugiatosi in meditazione in una grotta del vicino monte Hira, avrebbe avuto la prima esperienza profetica con l'apparizione dell'arcangelo Gabriele che gli avrebbe ingiunto - usando l'imperativo "iqrāʾ", ovvero "leggi!" (dal verbo arabo qaraʾa) - a proclamare il nuovo messaggio divino, riassunto nell'incipit della Sura 96 del Corano:

« Leggi! In nome del tuo Signore che ha creato, / ha creato l'uomo da un grumo di sangue! / Leggi, ché il tuo Signore è il Generosissimo, / Colui che ha insegnato l'uso del calamo, / ha insegnato all'uomo quello che non sapeva. »
(Traduzione di Alessandro Bausani)

La Mecca, come comunque continua ad essere menzionata, è meta annuale di visite da parte di pellegrini islamici (il tetto è fissato a 2 milioni) che, secondo quanto prescritto dal Corano, sono tenuti a visitarla almeno una volta nella vita per il pellegrinaggio canonico detto ḥajj.
La sua sacertà comporta che in essa (e nel suo territorio circostante così come avviene a Medina) sia categoricamente interdetto l'ingresso di chi non sia musulmano.

Note
^ Benché l'uso italiano consolidato sia quello di articolare il toponimo, può essere interessante osservare che in lingua araba esso non presenta alcun articolo determinativo. La città infatti si chiama in arabo semplicemente Makkah. Sull'origine dell'uso dell'articolo in italiano esistono diverse possibilità. Da una parte, non era infrequente aggiungere un articolo a nomi di città esotiche e lontane (per esempio "le Smirne"), dall'altra l'uso di mecca come generico luogo di abbondanza ("una vera mecca!") può aver fatto sì che si sia sentito necessario determinare con l'articolo la città vera e propria (per casi analoghi, si pensi a Eden: "un Eden" = un luogo di delizie ma "l'Eden" =il Paradiso terrestre).

メッカ（アラビア語: مكة المكرمة‎、またはマッカ・アル＝ムカッラマ Makkah al-Mukarramah IPA: [(Arabic) mækːæ(t) ælmʊkarˑamæ]）は、サウジアラビアのマッカ州（歴史的にいえばヒジャーズ地域）の州都である。別名をウンム・アル＝クラー（أم القرى Umm al-Qurā、町々の母）という。

日本語のもとでは長らくメッカと呼び慣わされてきたが、近年は学術的な分野を中心に標準アラビア語の発音により近いマッカが好まれつつある[1]。サウジアラビア政府は、1980年代に当市の名前の公式な英語訳を、西洋人が以前から一般に用いてきた綴りである Mecca IPA: [ˈmɛkə] から Makkah IPA: [ˈmækə] に改めた。

概要
人口は1,294,167人（2004年国勢調査）。ジェッダから73km内陸に入った、狭い砂地のアブラハムの谷にあり、海抜277mである。紅海からは80km離れている。

メッカはイスラム教最大の聖地とされており、当地へのハッジ（巡礼）は、体力と財力が許す限りあらゆるムスリム（イスラム教徒）が一生に一度は果たすべき義務である。ムスリムはマスジド・ハラーム（聖なるモスク。カアバを保護する。）を地上で最も神聖な場所と考えている。メディナと並んでイスラム教二大聖域とされているため、メディナ同様イスラム教徒以外の入場はできず、通じる道路の手前にある検問所より先に行くことができない。

「メッカ」という言葉は、宗教的な意味に限らず、重要な場所、人を引きつける場所、あるいはどっと押し寄せた人々を表す言葉として、イスラム教徒に限らず、世界中のどこででも用いられるようになっている。

現在、サウジアラビアにとって初めてである500ｍ以上の超高層ビル、アブラージュ・アル・ベイト・タワーズが2010年の完成を目指し、建設中である。


地理
アラビア半島の西部、紅海に面したサウジアラビアヒジャーズ地方の中心都市である。乾燥気候で、砂漠に取り囲まれているが、ザムザムの泉の湧き水を頼りに、かろうじて人間が定住生活を行うことができる。


宗教的意義
メッカは、イスラム教の開祖である預言者ムハンマドの生誕地であり、クルアーン（コーラン）において預言者イブラーヒーム（アブラハム）とその子のイスマーイール（イシュマエル）が建立したとされるカアバがある。

メッカへの巡礼が可能なムスリムには、巡礼を行う義務がある。この義務は信徒が守るべき主要な5つの義務の一つであり、巡礼を行ったムスリムは、ハッジと呼ばれ、人々に敬われる。メッカへの巡礼には幾つかの区別があり、大祭ともいわれるイードル・アドハー（犠牲祭）には毎年約3百万人が集まる。 一方でムスリムでない者には、メッカとメディナへの立ち入りは厳しく制限されている。なお、とある日本人カメラマンが、メッカの巡礼を撮影した写真集を刊行したことがあったが、彼でさえもメッカに入るためには、改宗してムスリムにならなくてはいけなかった。

ムスリムには、特別な事情がない限り、一日に5回メッカのカアバの方角を向いて祈りを捧げることが義務付けられている（シーア派は3回）。


歴史

1850年頃のメッカ全景図ムハンマドが生まれた570年頃には、メッカはすでにアラビア半島の主要な商業都市であった。イスラム教を唱えだした後、 622年にヤスリブ（現在のマディーナ）へムハンマドは逃れる。これをヘジュラといい、イスラム暦はここから起算される。のち630年にムハンマドはメッカを支配下におさめ、カアバ神殿よりすべての偶像を取り除いた。これ以降メッカは聖地として尊ばれている。

1454年、明の鄭和が遠洋航海した際、その分隊がメッカ（天方）に寄航している。

1979年11月20日、マフディー（救世主）を頂く武装グループがマスジド・ハラームを占拠。サウジ当局により２週間後に鎮圧されたが、鎮圧部隊側の死者は127人、武装勢力側の死者は177人という惨事となり、首謀者らは公開斬首刑に処せられた。

2006年1月12日には、宗教儀式中に訪れた信者が将棋倒しとなる事故が発生し、345人の死亡が確認された。


比喩表現
ある事柄における「あこがれの地」や「中心地」を「～のメッカ」と慣用されることがある。例えば「苗場はスキーのメッカ」「高校野球のメッカ、甲子園」、あるいは「競艇のメッカ、住之江」などというように使う。この場合にはメッカの呼び方が使われる。ただしムスリムやサウジアラビア政府はこのような用法を好まない。テレビ朝日の番組では、生放送で「渋滞のメッカ、六本木」という表現をしたあと、不適切な表現だったと謝罪する一幕もあった。似たような比喩に「聖地」という表現がある。
