0:13 Surah Muhammad.

0:16 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:22 “Those who disbelieve and turn (men) from the way of Allah, He rendereth their actions vain.” (47:1)

0:29 And those who believe and do righteous deeds.

0:33 “And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state.” (47:2)

0:43 “And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state.” (47:2)

0:46 He will absolve them of their sins.

0:52 And improve their state.

0:55 Those who denied the oneness of Allah.

0:58 And hindered those who sought to worship Him.

1:00 And to believe in His Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

1:05 Allah has rendered their deeds astray, devoid of any guidance.

1:09 And those who believed in Allah and acted in obedience to Him.

1:13 And believed in the Book that Allah revealed to Muhammad, peace be upon him.

1:17 “And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state.” (47:2)

1:19 Allah has wiped away their evil deeds.

1:22 And will not hold them accountable for them.

1:24 And He has improved their affairs and their state in this world and in the Hereafter.

1:30 “That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind.” (47:3)

1:35 “That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind.” (47:3)

1:41 “That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind.” (47:3)

1:47 From our causing the deeds of the disbelievers to go astray.

1:50 And our absolving those who believe and do righteous deeds.

1:54 This is what We have done with these two groups.

1:58 As a recompense from Us to each group for their actions.

2:01 As for the disbelievers.

2:03 We caused their deeds to go astray because they followed Satan and obeyed him.

2:08 “That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind.” (47:3)

2:12 Just as I have explained to you, O people, My actions.

2:15 Regarding the group of disbelief and the group of faith.

2:17 Thus do We set forth parables for the people.

2:20 And provide them with comparisons.

2:22 We assign to every people the likenesses that befit them.

2:28 So when you encounter those who disbelieve.

2:31 “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.” (47:4)

2:35 Then bind them firmly in bonds.

2:40 Then either grant them favor afterward.

2:43 Or accept a ransom.

2:51 “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.” (47:4)

2:55 That is the command.

2:56 And if Allah had willed, He would have taken vengeance upon them.

3:01 “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.” (47:4)

3:06 “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.” (47:4)

3:09 He will never let their deeds go to waste.

3:14 So when you encounter those who disbelieve in Allah.

3:16 And His Messenger, from among the people of war.

3:19 Strike their necks.

3:21 Until, when you have defeated them.

3:23 And they have become captives in your hands.

3:25 Then bind them firmly in bonds.

3:28 So that they do not kill you or escape from you.

3:31 Once you have taken them captive.

3:33 You may either show them favor.

3:35 By releasing them from captivity without compensation.

3:38 Or they may offer you a ransom.

3:41 By giving you compensation from themselves.

3:44 Do with their captives as I have explained to you.

3:47 Until the war lays down its burdens.

3:49 And the heavy weight of its people, by their repentance.

3:53 This which I have commanded you.

3:54 O believers, is the truth.

3:57 And if your Lord had willed.

3:59 He would have taken vengeance upon these polytheists.

4:01 With an immediate punishment.

4:03 But He disliked taking vengeance upon them.

4:06 Except by your hands, O believers.

4:08 To test you through them.

4:10 So that He may know the strivers among you.

4:13 And the patient ones.

4:14 And test them through you.

4:16 So that He may punish whom He wills by your hands.

4:19 And those who were killed by the polytheists among you.

4:22 Allah will never.

4:24 Allow their deeds to go to waste.

4:26 As He caused the deeds of the disbelievers to go astray.

4:30 He will guide them and improve their state.

4:34 “And bring them in unto the Garden which He hath made known to them.” (47:6)

4:41 Allah will grant success in action.

4:43 To those who fought in His cause, in accordance with what He is pleased with.

4:47 And He will improve their affairs and their state.

4:49 In this world and the Hereafter.

4:51 And Allah will admit them into His Paradise.

4:53 He has made it known and described it to them.

4:55 To the point that a man will go to his dwelling when he enters it.

4:59 Just as he used to go to his dwelling in this world.

5:02 It will not be confusing to him.

5:04 O you who believe.

5:08 “O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm.” (47:7)

5:12 And make your feet firm.

5:15 O you who have believed in Allah and His Messenger.

5:19 “O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm.” (47:7)

5:21 Against His enemies from among the people of disbelief.

5:24 And He will strengthen you against them so that you do not turn away from them.

5:29 And as for those who disbelieve, may they be ruined, and may He cause their deeds to go astray.

5:35 “That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath revealed, therefor maketh He their actions fruitless.” (47:9)

5:40 He has rendered their deeds void.

5:43 And those who disbelieve in Allah and deny His oneness.

5:47 Then for them is disgrace, misery, and affliction.

5:50 And He has made their deeds to be performed without guidance or uprightness.

5:55 Because they disliked the Book that We revealed to our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and were displeased with it.

6:03 So He nullified the deeds they performed in this world.

6:07 And He will cast them into a blazing fire.
