بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
9:101 Some of the Arabs, both from among you and from the people of the city, are hypocrites. They have become arrogant in hypocrisy. You do not know them, but We know them. We will punish them with a double torment and then they will be punished with a great torment.
9:102 And the others confessed their sins and confused good deeds with evil deeds. It is hoped that Allah may forgive them. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9:103 Take alms from their money to purify them and glorify them, and encourage them and support them, for your support pleases them. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
9:104 Do they not know that it is Allah Who accepts repentance from His servants and takes alms from them, and Allah is the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.
9:105 Work hard; Allah and His Messenger and those who believe will see what you do. You will be returned to the Knower of the hidden and the manifest, and He will inform you of what you have done.
9:106 Another group awaits the judgment of Allah. He will either punish them or accept their repentance. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
9:107 "There are those who use the mosque to cause harm, to practice disbelief, to drive a wedge between the believers, and to provide a lookout for those who fought against Allah and His messenger before. They swear, "Our aim is only good."Allah is a witness to their falsehood."
9:108 Do not stand in prayer in such a place forever. The masjid, which was established in righteousness from the first day, is far more suitable for prayer. There are people there who seek purification, and Allah loves the purified.
9:109 Better is he who builds his structure on the approval of Allah and on righteousness, or he who builds his structure on the edge of an abyss and tumbles with it into the Fire of Hell? Allah does not guide a wrongdoing people.
9:110 The structure they built will remain a source of doubt in their hearts until their hearts break. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
9:111 Allah has purchased the lives and property of the believers for Paradise. They fight and kill and are killed in the Way of Allah. This is His promise in the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur´an. Who better than Allah can fulfill His promise? So rejoice in this exchange. This is the greatest success.
9:112 They are: Those who repent, serve, praise, are active, bow down, prostrate, advocate good, forbid evil, and uphold the laws of Allah. Give glad tidings to those who believe.
9:113 Neither the Messenger nor the believers, even if they are relatives, can ask forgiveness for those who associate partners after it has become clear to them that they are the people of Hell.
9:114 The only reason Abraham asked forgiveness for his father was because he had promised it to him beforehand. When it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he turned away from him. Ibrahim was very sensitive and very compassionate.
9:115 Allah will not guide a people to the right path and then condemn them to error without informing them of what they should avoid. Allah is All-Knowing.
9:116 To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and slays. There is for you neither an owner nor a helper besides Allah.
9:117 Allah has accepted the repentance of the Messenger and those who emigrated and those who helped. They followed him at a time of difficulty when some of them almost lost heart. Then He accepted their turning (repentance). He is Most Compassionate towards them, Most Merciful.
9:118 (He accepted the repentance) of those three who remained behind. The earth had become narrow for them despite its vastness. They were overwhelmed. At last they realized that they could not escape Allah. So He turned to them to turn to Him. Allah is the All-Approving, All-Merciful.
9:119 O you who believe, listen to Allah and be with the truthful.
9:120 Neither the people of the city nor the Arabs around them should lag behind the Messenger of Allah, nor should they prefer themselves to him. For every thirst, fatigue and hunger they suffer in the way of Allah, every step they take in the way of Allah that will anger the disbelievers, and every success they gain against the enemy will be written down as a credit for them. Allah never loses the reward of those who do good.
