The chanted seal By Sheikh Anas Al-Emadi | Surat Al-Tawbah

0:00 3- A clarification from God and His Messenger to those of the polytheists with whom you made a covenant

0:10 4- So they roamed the earth for four months and learned that you cannot be miraculous by God, and that God disgraces the unbelievers

0:30 5- A proclamation from God and His Messenger to the people on the day of the Greater Hajj that God and His Messenger are free from the polytheists.

0:49 6- If you repent, it will be better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you are beyond the power of God, and give good tidings to those who reject evil of a painful punishment.

1:08 7- Except for those polytheists with whom you made a treaty, and then they did not diminish you in anything, nor did they support anyone against you, so fulfill their treaty with them for the duration of their term.

1:37 8- God loves the righteous

1:43 9- When the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them, and capture them, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in every ambush.

2:01 10- But if they repent and establish prayer and pay zakat, then let them go. Indeed, God is Forgiving, Merciful.

2:15 11- And if one of the polytheists seeks your protection, reward him until he hears the word of God, then informs him of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.

2:40 12- How can the polytheists have a covenant with God and His Messenger, except those with whom you made a covenant at the Sacred Mosque? So if they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, God loves the righteous.

3:07 13- How, even if they prevail over you, they do not have any regard for you unless they have no obligation. They please you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse, and most of them are disobedient.

3:29 14- They bought the verses of God for a small price, but were turned away from His path. Indeed, what they were doing was evil

3:47 15- They do not watch over a believer unless he has no obligation, and first and foremost are the aggressors

4:00 16- If they repent, perform prayer, and pay zakat, then they are your brothers in religion

4:09 17- And We detail the verses for a people who know

4:17 18- And if they break their oaths after their covenant and challenge your religion, then fight the imams of disbelief. They have no oaths, so perhaps they will desist.

4:43 19- And do not fight a people who broke their oaths and intended to expel the Messenger, even though they attacked you the first time. Do you fear them? For God is more deserving of you fearing Him if you are believers.

5:12 20- Fight them, God will punish them at your hands, disgrace them, grant you victory over them, grant you victory over them, and heal the hearts of a believing people.

5:30 21- And the anger of their hearts will go away, and God will turn to whomever He wills. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise

5:44 22- Or did you think that you would be left without God knowing those of you who have striven and have not taken anyone other than God, nor His Messenger, nor the believers as a guardian? And God is aware of what you do.

6:10 23- It is not for the polytheists to inhabit the mosques of God, bearing witness against themselves of disbelief. Those are their deeds in vain, and in the Fire they will abide forever.

6:30 24- The mosques of God are inhabited by those who believe in God and the Last Day and establish prayer and pay zakat and fear no one but God. Perhaps those will be among those who are guided.

7:02 25- Have you made providing water for the pilgrim and maintaining the Sacred Mosque as if he who believes in God and the Last Day and strives in the cause of God is not indifferent to God, and God does not guide the wrongdoing people?

7:31 26- Those who believed and emigrated and strove in the cause of God with their wealth and their lives have a higher rank with God, and those are the winners.

7:57 27- Their Lord gives them good news of His mercy, His satisfaction, and Gardens in which they will have lasting bliss

8:14 28- They will abide therein forever. Indeed, with God is a great reward

8:25 29- O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or brothers as allies if they prefer disbelief over faith. And whoever of you befriends them - those are the wrongdoers.

8:50 30- Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your clan, the money you have earned, the trade you fear will decline, and the dwellings you are satisfied with,

9:18 31- I love to you more than God and His Messenger, and jihad in His cause, so wait until God brings His command, and God does not guide the rebellious people.

9:42 32- God has given you victory in many occasions, and on the day of Hunayn, when you were impressed by your large number, but it did not save you anything, and the earth, despite its spaciousness, was too narrow for you.

10:08 33- Then you turned away

10:13 34- Then God sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers

10:23 35- And upon the believers, He sent down armies that you did not see, and He punished those who were numerous, and that is the recompense of the disbelievers

10:38 36- Then after that, God turns to whomever He wishes, and God is Forgiving, Merciful

10:52 37- O you who have believed, the polytheists are only unclean, so do not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year of theirs

11:10 38- And if you fear hardship, God will enrich you of His bounty, if He wills. Indeed, God is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

11:25 39- Fight those who do not believe in God or the Last Day, and do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth.

11:47 40- The Jews said: Uzair is the son of God, and the Christians say: Christ is the son of God. That is what they say with their mouths

12:00 41- The Nassar said: “The Messiah is the son of God.” That is what they say with their mouths. They are similar to the words of those who disbelieved before. God killed them. “Indeed, they are being misled.”

12:25 42- They took their rabbis and monks as lords besides God and Christ, the son of Mary, and they were commanded only to worship one God. There is no god but Him. Glory be to Him above what they associate with Him.

12:51 43- They want to extinguish the light of God with their mouths, but God refuses except to perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate it.

13:08 44- It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions, even if the polytheists hate it

13:23 45- O you who have believed, many rabbis and monks devour people’s wealth unjustly

13:47 46- And they turn away from the path of God, and those who measure gold and silver and do not spend it in the path of God - give them good tidings of a painful punishment.

14:10 47- The day they will be burned in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs will be burned with it. This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you hoarded.

14:33 48- The number of months with God is 12 months in the Book of God on the day He created the heavens and the earth. Four of them are sacred to the upright religion, so do not wrong yourselves in them.

14:59 49- And fight all of the polytheists as they fight all of you, and know that God is with the righteous

15:17 50- Al-Nasa’i is only an increase in disbelief by which he leads those who disbelieve astray. They make it lawful one year and forbid it another year, in order to combine the number of what God has forbidden, so they make lawful what God has forbidden.

15:42 51- The evil of their deeds appears pleasing to them, and God does not guide the disbelieving people

15:54 52- O you who have believed, what is the matter with you when it is said to you, “Go forth in the way of God” that you burden the earth with, are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? For the enjoyment of the life of this world in the Hereafter is but little.

16:23 53- If you do not disperse, He will punish you with a painful punishment, and replace you with a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all, and God has power over all things.

16:45 54- Unless you help him, God has already helped him when those who disbelieved expelled him, the second of the two, when they were in the cave

17:06 55- When he says to his companion, “Do not be sad, for God is with us.”

17:18 56- Then God sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with troops that you did not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved low

17:35 57- The word of God is supreme, and God is Mighty, Wise

17:44 58- Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of God. That is better for you, if you only know.

18:06 59- If it had been a recent encounter and an intended travel, they would have followed you, but the distance would have been far away for them

18:20 60- And they will swear to God, “If we were able, we would go out with you.” They will destroy themselves, and God knows that they are liars.

18:37 61- May God forgive you for not allowing them until those who are truthful become clear to you and you learn who are liars

18:56 62- Those who believe in God and the Last Day do not ask your permission to strive with their wealth and their lives, and God is All-Knowing of the righteous.

19:17 63- Only those who do not believe in God and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt seek your permission, so they hesitate in their doubt.

19:34 64- If they had wanted to go out, they would have prepared for it, but God hated sending them, so He discouraged them, and it was said that they sat with those who remained behind.

19:56 65- If they were to revolt among you, they would only add to your confusion, and they would spread among you, seeking to confuse you, and among you are listeners to them, and God is All-Knowing of the wrongdoers.

20:20 66- They sought sedition before and turned things around for you until the truth came and God’s command became apparent, and they hated it.

20:38 67- And among them are those who say, “Be humble for me and do not be tempted.” Indeed, they have fallen into temptation, and Hell will surround the disbelievers.

20:57 68- If a good thing befalls you, it will harm them, and if a calamity befalls you, they say, “We took care of our business before,” and they turn away, rejoicing.

21:18 69- Say: Nothing will happen to us except what God has ordained for us. He is our Master, and in God let the believers put their trust

21:32 70- Say: Are you waiting for us except one of the Hittites?

21:39 71- And we are waiting for you lest God afflict you with a torment from Him or at our hands, so wait. We are with you, waiting.

22:04 72- Say, “Spend willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted from you. Indeed, you were a disobedient people.”

22:24 73- And nothing prevented them from having their expenses accepted from them except that they increased their supplications in the name of God and His Messenger, and they do not come to prayer except when they are lazy, and they do not spend except when they are unwilling.

22:53 74- Do not like their wealth or their children. God only desires to punish them with it in the life of this world, and for their souls to perish while they are disbelievers.

23:16 75- And they swear by God that they are of you, but they are not of you, and they are not of you, but they are a people who are divided

23:32 76- If they found a refuge, caves, or entrance, they would turn to it while running wild

23:42 77- And among them are those who push you regarding alms, and if they give of it they are satisfied, but if they do not give of it, then they become displeased.

23:58 78- Even if they were satisfied with what God and His Messenger had given them and said, “God is sufficient for us. God will give us of His bounty and His Messenger. Indeed, to God we are willing.”

24:19 80- Alms are only for the poor and the needy, those who work for them, and those whose hearts are reconciled, and for freeing slaves and debtors, and for the sake of God, and for the wayfarer.

24:44 81- An obligation from God, and God is All-Knowing, All-Wise

24:53 82- And among them are those who annoy the Prophet and say, “And ear,” say, “Earn is better for you. They believe in God and believe for the believers, and a mercy for those of you who believe.” And those who annoy the Messenger of God, for them is a painful punishment.

25:20 83- They swear to God to you that they may please you, but God and His Messenger have more right that they please Him if they are believers.

25:33 84- Did they not know that whoever opposes God and His Messenger will have the fire of Hell to abide therein forever? That is great disgrace.

25:52 85- Hypocrites beware lest a Surah be revealed to them informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, “Moke. Indeed, God will bring forth what you warn about.”

26:15 86- And if you asked them, they would say, “We were only fooling around and playing.” Say, “My father is God, His signs, and His Messenger, you were mocking.”

26:33 87- Make no excuses. You have disbelieved after you believed. If We pardon a party of you, We will punish a party because they were criminals.

27:00 88- Hypocrites, male and female, are one another. They enjoin evil and forbid what is right, and they hold their hands. They forgot God, and He forgot them. Indeed, the hypocrites are the transgressors.

27:24 89- God promised the hypocrites, both male and female, and the disbelievers, the fire of Hell to abide therein. It is sufficient for them, and God has cursed them, and for them is an everlasting punishment.

27:45 90- And those before you were stronger than you and had more wealth and children, so they enjoyed their creation, so you enjoyed your creation just as those before you enjoyed.

28:12 Just as those before you enjoyed their creation, and you quarreled like those who quarreled. Those are their deeds in vain in this world and the hereafter, and those are the losers.

28:34 90- Did not the news of those before them come to them: the people of Noah, Ad, and Thamud, and the people of Abraham, and the companions of Madyan and the conquests? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs.

29:01 90- It was not God who wronged them, but they wronged themselves

29:10 90- The believing men, male and female, are guardians of one another. They enjoin what is right and shun what is wrong, and perform prayer, and pay zakat, and obey God and His Messenger.

29:33 90- God will have mercy on those. Indeed, God is Mighty, Wise

29:45 90- God promised the believing men and believing women Gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide therein, and good dwellings in kneaded gardens.

30:08 90- And God’s satisfaction is greater. That is the great victory

30:17 90- O Prophet, strive hard against the disbelievers and hypocrites, and be harsh with them, and their abode is Hell, and wretched is the destination.

30:32 90- They swear by God that they did not say, but they did say the word of disbelief, and they disbelieved after their conversion to Islam, and they dreamed of what they did not achieve.

30:48 90- They did not resent it except that God and His Messenger enriched them of His bounty. If they repent, it would be better for them, but if they turned away, God would punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the hereafter.

31:11 101- And they have neither guardian nor helper on earth

31:19 102- And among them are those who covenanted with God that if He had given us of His bounty, we would certainly believe and be among the righteous.

31:37 103- When He bestowed His bounty on them, they were stingy with it and turned away, turning away

31:51 104- So hypocrisy followed them in their hearts until the day they meet Him, because they broke God’s promise to Him and because they lied.

32:07 105- Did they not know that God knows their secrets and secrets and that God is the Knower of the unseen?

32:22 109- Those who criticize those among the believers who volunteer to give alms, and those who do not find anything but their best, and thus mock them - God will ridicule them, and for them is a painful punishment.

32:47 110- Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them. If you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, God will not forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in God and His Messenger, and God does not guide the transgressing people.

33:13 111- Those who were left behind were happy with their seat, unlike the Messenger of God, and they hated to struggle with their money and their lives in the cause of God, and they said, “Do not go forth in the heat.”

33:36 112- Say: The fire of Hell is hotter, if only they could cook

33:45 113- Let them laugh a little and cry a lot as recompense for what they used to earn

33:55 114- If God returns you to a group of them and they ask your permission to go out, say: You will never go out with me, and you will never fight an enemy with me.

34:15 115- You were satisfied with sitting the first time, so you sat with those who disagreed

34:25 116- And do not pray for any of them who has died, ever, and do not stand at his grave, for they disbelieved in God and His Messenger, and they died while they were disobedient.

34:42 117- And do not like their wealth and their children. God only wants to punish them with it in this world and for their souls to perish while they are disbelievers.

35:04 118- And when a Surah was revealed saying, “They believe in God and strive with His Messenger,” the first of them asks for your permission and says, “We leave you with those who sit behind.”

35:24 119- They are content to be with those who differ, and their hearts have been sealed, so they do not understand

35:34 111- But the Messenger and those who believed with him struggled with their wealth and their lives, and for them are good deeds, and it is they who are successful.

35:56 111- God has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, in which they will abide. This is a great victory

36:16 112- And the excused Bedouins came so that permission would be given to them, and those who denied God and His Messenger sat. A painful punishment will befall those who disbelieved among them.

36:36 113- There is no blame on the weak, nor on the sick, nor on those who do not have enough to spend if they are sincere to God and His Messenger. There is no recourse for the doers of good, and God is Forgiving, Merciful.

37:05 114- Nor for those who, when they come to you for you to carry, you say, “I cannot find anything to carry you,” but they turn away with their eyes overflowing with tears, saddened that they do not find what to spend.

37:24 115- The path is only for those who ask your permission while they are rich and are content to be with those who differ, and God has set a seal on their hearts, so they do not know.

37:48 116- You will not apologize to them if you return to them. Say, “Do not apologize. We will not believe you. God has informed us of your news. God and His Messenger will see your work, and then you will be returned to the world of the unseen and the witnessed.”

38:17 117- We inform you of what you used to do

38:23 118- They will swear to God to you that if you seek them, you will turn away from them, but they turned away from them. Indeed, they are an abomination, and their abode is Hell, a recompense for what they used to earn.

38:44 119- They swear to you that you will be satisfied with them, but if you are satisfied with them, then God is not satisfied with the rebellious people.

38:57 111- The Bedouins are more severe in disbelief and hypocrisy, and more likely not to know the limits of what God has revealed to His Messenger, and God is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

39:20 111- Among the Bedouins are those who take what they spend as a burden, and the circle of evil lies in wait for you. The circle of evil is upon them, and God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

39:40 111- Among the Bedouins are those who believe in God and the Last Day and take what they spend as closeness to God and the prayers of the Messenger.

40:00 111- Nor is it a closeness to them. God will admit them into His mercy. Indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful

40:14 112- And the forerunners, the first among the Muhajireen and Ansar, and those who followed them in righteousness, may God be pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow, to abide therein forever.

40:42 113- That great victory

40:47 114- And among the Bedouins around you are hypocrites

40:54 115- Among the people of Medina are those who persist in hypocrisy. You do not know them. We know them. We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great punishment.

41:12 116- Others confessed their sins, mixing good deeds with bad deeds. Perhaps God will forgive them. Indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.

41:36 117- Take charity from their wealth to purify them and purify them with it, and pray for them. Indeed, your prayer is comfort for them, and God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

41:58 118- Did they not know that it is God who accepts repentance from His servants and takes alms and that God is the Forgiving, the Merciful?

42:15 119- And say, “Work,” for God, His Messenger, and the believers will see your work

42:23 111- And you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do

42:37 111- And others are awaiting the command of God. He will either punish them or turn to them. And God is All-Knowing, All-Wise

42:56 111- And those who have established a mosque out of harm, disbelief, and division among the believers

43:11 111- And as a precaution for those who fought against God and His Messenger before, and let them swear, “We intend nothing but what is good,” and God bears witness that they are liars.

43:29 111- You should never stand therein because a mosque founded on piety from the first day is more deserving of you standing therein. There are men who love to purify themselves, and God loves those who purify themselves.

43:52 111- Is he who founded his building on fear of God and His pleasure better, or he who founded his building on dawn during the day, then it collapses with him into the fire of Hell? And God does not guide the wrongdoing people.

44:21 111- Their foundations, those they built, will continue to have doubt in their hearts unless their hearts are cut off, and God is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

44:36 112- God has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth so that they will have Paradise. They fight in the way of God, so they kill and are killed.

45:02 113- And whoever is more faithful to his covenant than God, then rejoice in your pledge with which you pledged allegiance, and that is the great victory.

45:26 114- The repentant, the worshipers, the praisers, the tourists, the ones who kneel and prostrate, those who enjoin good and forbid evil.

45:50 115- And those who keep the limits of God and give good news to the believers

45:58 116- It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were close relatives, after it became clear to them that they are the companions of Hell.

46:25 117- Abraham’s request for forgiveness for his father was only due to a promise he had made to him. When it became clear to him that he was an enemy of God, he disavowed him. Indeed, Abraham was compassionate and forbearing.

46:54 118- God would never mislead a people after He had guided them until He had made clear to them what to fear. Indeed, God is All-Knowing of all things.

47:16 119- To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and apart from God you have neither guardian nor helper.

47:35 111- God turned to the Prophet, the Emigrants, and the Ansar who followed him in an hour of difficulty, after he had almost caused a group of them to turn away.

48:01 111- And upon the three who were left behind, even when the earth, with all its spaciousness, was too narrow for them and their souls were too small for them

48:29 111- And they thought that there was no refuge from God except in Him, then He turned to them so that they might repent. Indeed, God is the Most Merciful.

48:50 111- O you who have believed, fear God and be with the truthful

48:58 112- It was not for the people of Medina and the Bedouins around them to remain behind the Messenger of God or to separate themselves from him.

49:16 113- This is because they are not afflicted with thirst, fatigue, or thirst for the sake of God, and they do not tread on a place where the disbelievers are absent.

49:37 114- And they do not harm the enemy except that a good deed is recorded for them. Indeed, God does not waste the reward of the doers of good.

49:58 115- They do not spend anything, whether small or large, nor do they cross a valley, but it is recorded for them, so that God may reward them for the best of what they used to do.

50:21 116- It is not the case that the believers would go forth as a whole, were it not that a group from each group of them would go out to gain understanding in the religion and to warn their people when they return to them.

50:48 117- And to warn their people when they return to them, so that they may beware

50:57 118- O you who have believed, fight those of the disbelievers next to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that God is with the righteous.

51:14 119- And when a surah is revealed, some of them say, “Which of you has this increased his faith?” As for those who believe, it has increased their faith, and they rejoice.

51:38 111- As for those in whose hearts is a disease, it has increased their uncleanness to their uncleanness, and they died while they were disbelievers.

51:53 111- Do they not see that they are tested once or twice every year, then they do not repent, nor do they remember?

52:11 112- And when a surah was revealed, they looked at each other to see if anyone could see you, then they turned away, and God turned their hearts away, that they were a people who did not understand.

52:36 113- There has come to you a messenger from among yourselves, whom you hold dear, anxious for you towards the believers, compassionate and merciful.

52:56 114- And if they turn away, say, “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but He. In Him I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.”
