دَرَجاتٍ مِنهُ وَمَغفِرَةً وَرَحمَةً ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ غَفورًا رَحيمًا

Degrees of rank from Him, forgiveness, and mercy. God is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ تَوَفّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ ظالِمي أَنفُسِهِم قالوا فيمَ كُنتُم ۖ قالوا كُنّا مُستَضعَفينَ فِي الأَرضِ ۚ قالوا أَلَم تَكُن أَرضُ اللَّهِ واسِعَةً فَتُهاجِروا فيها ۚ فَأُولـٰئِكَ مَأواهُم جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَساءَت مَصيرًا

The angels will take the souls of those who died wronging themselves saying, “What was your condition?” They will reply, “We were oppressed in the land.” They will then say, “Wasn’t God’s earth vast enough for you to emigrate?” For such individuals, their dwelling will be Hell—a terrible destination.

إِلَّا المُستَضعَفينَ مِنَ الرِّجالِ وَالنِّساءِ وَالوِلدانِ لا يَستَطيعونَ حيلَةً وَلا يَهتَدونَ سَبيلًا

Except for the oppressed among men, women, and children, who can’t devise a plan nor find a way.

فَأُولـٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعفُوَ عَنهُم ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفورًا

For these individuals, God may extend His forgiveness. God is Pardoning and Forgiving.

وَمَن يُهاجِر في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ يَجِد فِي الأَرضِ مُراغَمًا كَثيرًا وَسَعَةً ۚ وَمَن يَخرُج مِن بَيتِهِ مُهاجِرًا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدرِكهُ المَوتُ فَقَد وَقَعَ أَجرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۗ وَكانَ اللَّهُ غَفورًا رَحيمًا

Whoever emigrates for God’s cause will find many places of refuge and abundance on earth. Whoever leaves his home, migrating towards God and His Messenger, and then death overtakes him—God assures his reward. God is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَإِذا كُنتَ فيهِم فَأَقَمتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلاةَ فَلتَقُم طائِفَةٌ مِنهُم مَعَكَ وَليَأخُذوا أَسلِحَتَهُم فَإِذا سَجَدوا فَليَكونوا مِن وَرائِكُم وَلتَأتِ طائِفَةٌ أُخرىٰ لَم يُصَلّوا فَليُصَلّوا مَعَكَ وَليَأخُذوا حِذرَهُم وَأَسلِحَتَهُم ۗ وَدَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَو تَغفُلونَ عَن أَسلِحَتِكُم وَأَمتِعَتِكُم فَيَميلونَ عَلَيكُم مَيلَةً واحِدَةً ۚ وَلا جُناحَ عَلَيكُم إِن كانَ بِكُم أَذًى مِن مَطَرٍ أَو كُنتُم مَرضىٰ أَن تَضَعوا أَسلِحَتَكُم ۖ وَخُذوا حِذرَكُم ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلكافِرينَ عَذابًا مُهينًا

When you’re among them, leading them in prayer, let a group of them stand with you, armed. After they’ve prostrated, they should withdraw, allowing another group that has not yet prayed to come forward and pray with you. They should remain vigilant and keep their weapons ready. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage, so they can launch a surprise attack. If rain or illness prevents you, there’s no blame upon you for setting aside your weapons. However, remain cautious. God has prepared a humiliating punishment for the unbelievers.

فَإِذا قَضَيتُمُ الصَّلاةَ فَاذكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيامًا وَقُعودًا وَعَلىٰ جُنوبِكُم ۚ فَإِذَا اطمَأنَنتُم فَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ ۚ إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ كانَت عَلَى المُؤمِنينَ كِتابًا مَوقوتًا

Once the prayer is concluded, remember God while standing, sitting, or lying on your sides. When you are secure, establish the prayer. Prayer is a mandatory obligation for believers at prescribed times.

وَلا تَهِنوا فِي ابتِغاءِ القَومِ ۖ إِن تَكونوا تَألَمونَ فَإِنَّهُم يَألَمونَ كَما تَألَمونَ ۖ وَتَرجونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ما لا يَرجونَ ۗ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَليمًا حَكيمًا

Don’t weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you are suffering, they, too, are suffering. And you expect from God what they don’t expect. God is Knowing and Wise.

إِنّا أَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ لِتَحكُمَ بَينَ النّاسِ بِما أَراكَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلا تَكُن لِلخائِنينَ خَصيمًا

We revealed the Scripture to you in truth, so that you may judge between people according to what God has shown you. Don’t be an advocate for the treacherous.

وَاستَغفِرِ اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ غَفورًا رَحيمًا

And ask God for forgiveness, for God is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
