*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Ix.: Tauba (repentance) Or Barat (immunity).

Section 6

38.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ma lakum itha qeela lakumu infiroo fee sabeeli Allahi iththaqaltum ila al-ardi aradeetum biAlhayati aLddunya mina al-akhirati fama mataAAu alhayati aLddunya fee al-akhirati illa qaleelUn

38. O
ye who believe! what

Is the matter with you,

That, when ye are asked

To go forth in the Cause of God,

Ye cling heavily to the earth?

Do ye prefer the life

Of this world to the Hereafter?

But little is the comfort

Of this life, as compared

With the Hereafter.

39.
Illa tanfiroo yuAAaththibkum AAathaban aleeman wayastabdil qawman ghayrakum wala tadurroohu shay-an waAllahu AAala kulli shay-in qadeerUn

39.
Unless ye go forth,

He will punish you

With a grievous penalty,

And put others in your place;

But Him ye would not harm

In the least. For God

Hath power over all things.

40.
Illa tansuroohu faqad nasarahu Allahu ith akhrajahu allatheena kafaroo thaniya ithnayni ith huma fee alghari ith yaqoolu lisahibihi la tahzan inna Allaha maAAana faanzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAalayhi waayyadahu bijunoodin lam tarawha wajaAAala kalimata allatheena kafaroo aLssufla wakalimatu Allahi hiya alAAulya waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemUn

40.
If ye help not (your Leader),

(it is no matter): for God

Did indeed help him,

When the Unbelievers

Drove him out: he had

No more than one companion:


They two were in the Cave,

And he said to his companion,

"Have no fear, for God

Is with us
": then God

Sent down His peace upon him,

And strengthened him with forces

Which ye saw not, and humbled

To the depths the word

Of the Unbelievers.

But the word of God

Is exalted to the heights:


For God is Exalted in might, Wise

41. Infiroo khifafan wathiqalan wajahidoo bi-amwalikum waanfusikum fee sabeeli Allahi thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoonA

41.
Go ye forth, (whether equipped)

Lightly or heavily, and strive

And struggle, with your goods

And your persons, in the Cause

Of God. That is best

For you, if ye (but) knew.

42.
Law kana AAaradan qareeban wasafaran qasidan laIttabaAAooka walakin baAAudat AAalayhimu aLshshuqqatu wasayahlifoona biAllahi lawi istataAAna lakharajna maAAakum yuhlikoona anfusahum waAllahu yaAAlamu innahum lakathiboonA

42.
If there had been

Immediate gain (in sight),

And the journey easy,

They would (all) without doubt

Have followed thee, but

The distance was long,

(And weighed) on them.

They would indeed swear

By God, "If we only could,

We should certainly

Have come out with you:"

They would destroy their own souls;

For God doth know

That they are certainly lying.
