060 surah

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَّخِذُوۡا عَدُوِّىۡ وَعَدُوَّكُمۡ اَوۡلِيَآءَ تُلۡقُوۡنَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ بِالۡمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدۡ كَفَرُوۡا بِمَا جَآءَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡحَـقِّ ۚ يُخۡرِجُوۡنَ الرَّسُوۡلَ وَاِيَّاكُمۡ اَنۡ تُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ رَبِّكُمۡ ؕ اِنۡ كُنۡـتُمۡ خَرَجۡتُمۡ جِهَادًا فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِىۡ وَ ابۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِىۡ ۖ  تُسِرُّوۡنَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ بِالۡمَوَدَّةِ ۖ  وَاَنَا اَعۡلَمُ بِمَاۤ اَخۡفَيۡتُمۡ وَمَاۤ اَعۡلَنۡتُمۡؕ وَمَنۡ يَّفۡعَلۡهُ مِنۡكُمۡ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِيۡلِ‏ ١

Believers, if you have left (your homes and) have come forth to struggle in My Way and to seek My good pleasure, do not make friends with My enemies and your enemies. You befriend them whereas they have spurned the Truth that has come to you; and (such is their enmity that) they expel the Messenger and yourselves for no other reason than that you believe in Allah, your Lord. You send to them messages of friendship in secrecy, although I know well whatever you do, be it secretly or publicly. And whosoever of you does so has indeed strayed far away from the Straight Path.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, agar tum meri raah mein jihad karne ke liye aur meri raza-joyi ki khatir (watan chodh kar gharon se) nikle ho to mere aur apne dushmano ko dost na banao. Tum unke saath dosti ki tarah(befriend) dalte ho, halaanke jo haqq tumhare paas aaya hai usko maanne se woh inkar kar chuke hain. Aur unki ravish yeh hai ke Rasool ko aur khud tumko sirf is kasoor par jila-watan (expel) karte hain ke tum apne Rubb, Allah par iman laye ho. Tum chupa kar unko dostana paighaam bhejte ho, halaanke jo kuch tum chupa kar karte ho aur jo elania (openly) karte ho, har cheez ko mai khoob janta hoon. Jo shaks bhi tum mein se aisa karey woh yaqeenan raah-e-raast se bhatak gaya

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنۡ يَّثۡقَفُوۡكُمۡ يَكُوۡنُوۡا لَـكُمۡ اَعۡدَآءً وَّيَبۡسُطُوۡۤا اِلَيۡكُمۡ اَيۡدِيَهُمۡ وَاَلۡسِنَتَهُمۡ بِالسُّوۡٓءِ وَوَدُّوۡا لَوۡ تَكۡفُرُوۡنَؕ‏ ٢

If they could overcome you, they would act as your foes and would hurt you by their hands and tongues, and would love to see you become unbelievers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Unka rawayya to yeh hai ke agar tumpar qaabu paa jayein to tumhare saath dushmani karein aur haath aur zuban se tumhein azar (hurt) dein, woh to yeh chahte hain ke tum kisi tarah kafir ho jao

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَنۡ تَـنۡفَعَكُمۡ اَرۡحَامُكُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَوۡلَادُكُمۡ ۛۚ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ ۛۚ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِيۡرٌ‏ ٣

On the Day of Resurrection neither your blood-kindred nor your own offspring will avail you. (On that Day) He will separate you. Allah sees all that you do.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Qayamat ke din na tumhari rishtedarian kisi kaam aayengi na tumhari aulad. Us roz Allah tumhare darmiyan judaai daal dega. Aur wahi tumhare aamaal ka dekhne wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

قَدۡ كَانَتۡ لَـكُمۡ اُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِىۡۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَالَّذِيۡنَ مَعَهٗۚ اِذۡ قَالُوۡا لِقَوۡمِهِمۡ اِنَّا بُرَءٰٓؤُا مِنۡكُمۡ وَمِمَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ كَفَرۡنَا بِكُمۡ وَبَدَا بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمُ الۡعَدَاوَةُ وَالۡبَغۡضَآءُ اَبَدًا حَتّٰى تُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَحۡدَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَوۡلَ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ لِاَبِيۡهِ لَاَسۡتَغۡفِرَنَّ لَـكَ وَمَاۤ اَمۡلِكُ لَـكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ ؕ رَبَّنَا عَلَيۡكَ تَوَكَّلۡنَا وَاِلَيۡكَ اَنَـبۡنَا وَاِلَيۡكَ الۡمَصِيۡرُ‏ ٤

You have a good example in Abraham and his companions: they said to their people: “We totally dissociate ourselves from you, and from the deities that you worship instead of Allah. We renounce you and there has come to be enmity and hatred between us and you until you believe in Allah, the One True God.” (But you may not emulate) Abraham's saying to his father: “Certainly I will ask pardon for you, although I have no power over Allah to obtain anything on your behalf.” (And Abraham and his companions prayed): “Our Lord, in You have we put our trust, and to You have we turned, and to You is our ultimate return.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum logon ke liye Ibrahim aur uske saathiyon mein ek accha namuna hai ke unhon ne apni qaum se saaf kehdiya “hum tumse aur tumhare in maboodon (deities) se jinko tum khuda ko chodh kar poojhte ho qataii bezaar hain. Humne tumse kufr kiya aur hamare aur tumhare darmiyan hamesha ke liye adawat hogayi aur bair padh gaya (enmity and hatred) jabtak tum Allah wahid par iman na lao”. Magar Ibrahim ka apne baap se yeh kehna (issey mustasna hai) ke “ Main aapke liye magfirat ki darkhwast zaroor karunga, aur Allah se aap ke liye kuch haasil kar lena mere bas mein nahin hai”. (Aur Ibrahim va ashaab-e-Ibrahim ki dua yeh thi ke) “Aey hamare Rubb, tere hi upar humne bharosa kiya aur teri hi taraf humne ruju (turn) karliya aur tere hi huzoor humein palatna hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا فِتۡنَةً لِّلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَاغۡفِرۡ لَـنَا رَبَّنَا ۚ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ‏ ٥

Our Lord, do not make us a test for the unbelievers, and forgive us, our Lord. Surely You are Most Mighty, Most Wise.”

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey hamare Rubb, humein kafiron ke liye fitna (trial/test) na bana de aur aey hamare Rubb, hamare kasooron se darguzar farma. Beshak tu hi zabardast (mighty) aur daana(wise) hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَقَدۡ كَانَ لَـكُمۡ فِيۡهِمۡ اُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَنۡ كَانَ يَرۡجُوا اللّٰهَ وَالۡيَوۡمَ الۡاٰخِرَ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَلَّ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الۡغَنِىُّ الۡحَمِيۡدُ‏ ٦

Indeed there is a good example for you in them; a good example for anyone who looks forward to Allah and the Last Day. As for him who turns away, Allah is All-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Inhi logon ke tarz-e-amal mein tumhare liye aur har us shaks ke liye accha namuna (example) hai jo Allah aur roz-e-aakhir ka umeedwar ho. Issey koi munharif ho (turns away) to Allah be niyaz (All-Sufficient) aur apni zaat mein aap mahmood hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّجۡعَلَ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَ الَّذِيۡنَ عَادَيۡتُمۡ مِّنۡهُمۡ مَّوَدَّةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ قَدِيۡرٌؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ٧

It may well be that Allah will implant love between you and those with whom you have had enmity. Allah is Most Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Baeed nahin ke Allah kabhi tumhare aur un logon ke darmiyaan mohabbat daal de jinse aaj tumne dushmani mol li hai. Allah badi qudrat rakhta hai aur woh gafoor-o-raheem hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

لَا يَنۡهٰٮكُمُ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الَّذِيۡنَ لَمۡ يُقَاتِلُوۡكُمۡ فِى الدِّيۡنِ وَلَمۡ يُخۡرِجُوۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ دِيَارِكُمۡ اَنۡ تَبَرُّوۡهُمۡ وَ تُقۡسِطُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِمۡؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُقۡسِطِيۡنَ‏ ٨

Allah does not forbid that you be kind and just to those who did not fight against you on account of religion, nor drove you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are equitable.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Allah tumhein is baat se nahin roakta ke tum un logon ke saath neki aur insaaf ka bartaao karo jinhon ne deen ke maamle mein tumse jung nahin ki hai aur tumhein tumhare gharon se nahin nikala hai. Allah insaaf karne walon ko pasand karta hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

اِنَّمَا يَنۡهٰٮكُمُ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الَّذِيۡنَ قَاتَلُوۡكُمۡ فِى الدِّيۡنِ وَاَخۡرَجُوۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ دِيَارِكُمۡ وَظَاهَرُوۡا عَلٰٓى اِخۡرَاجِكُمۡ اَنۡ تَوَلَّوۡهُمۡۚ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَلَّهُمۡ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ‏ ٩

Allah only forbids you to be friends with those who have fought against you on account of religion and who have driven you out of your homes and have abetted in your expulsion. And any who make friends with them, they are the wrong-doers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Woh tumhein jis baat se roakta hai woh to yeh hai ke tum un logon se dosti karo jinhon ne tumse deen ke maamle mein jung ki hai aur tumhein tumhare gharon se nikala hai aur tumhare ikhraaj (expulsion) mein ek dusre ki madad ki hai. Unse jo log dosti karein wahi zaalim hain

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا جَآءَكُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتُ مُهٰجِرٰتٍ فَامۡتَحِنُوۡهُنَّ ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِاِيۡمَانِهِنَّ ۚ فَاِنۡ عَلِمۡتُمُوۡهُنَّ مُؤۡمِنٰتٍ فَلَا تَرۡجِعُوۡهُنَّ اِلَى الۡكُفَّارِ ؕ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحِلُّوۡنَ لَهُنَّ ۚ وَاٰ تُوۡهُمۡ مَّاۤ اَنۡفَقُوۡا ؕ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اَنۡ تَنۡكِحُوۡهُنَّ اِذَاۤ اٰ تَيۡتُمُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ ؕ وَلَا تُمۡسِكُوۡا بِعِصَمِ الۡكَوَافِرِ وَسۡــَٔـلُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡفَقۡتُمۡ وَلۡيَسۡــَٔـلُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡفَقُوۡا ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ حُكۡمُ اللّٰهِ ؕ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌ‏ ١٠

Believers, when believing women come to you as Emigrants (in the cause of faith), examine them. Allah fully knows (the truth) concerning their faith. And when you have ascertained them to be believing women, do not send them back to the unbelievers. Those women are no longer lawful to the unbelievers, nor are those unbelievers lawful to those (believing) women. Give their unbelieving husbands whatever they have spent (as bridal-dues); and there is no offence for you to marry those women if you give them their bridal-dues. Do not hold on to your marriages with unbelieving women: ask for the return of the bridal-due you gave to your unbelieving wives and the unbelievers may ask for the return of the bridal-due they had given to their believing wives. Such is Allah's command. He judges between you. Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, jab momin auratein hijrat karke tumhare paas aayein to (unke momin honay ki) jaanch padtaal karlo. Aur unke iman ki haqeeqat Allah hi behtar janta hai. Phir jab tumhein maloom ho jaye ke woh momin hain to unhein kuffar ki taraf wapas na karo. Na woh kuffar ke liye halal hain aur na kuffar unke liye halal. Unke kafir shoharon ne jo mehar unko diye thay woh unhein pher do aur unsey nikah kar lene par tumse koi gunaah nahin jabke tum unke mehar unko ada kardo. Aur tum khud bhi kafir auraton ko apne nikah mein na roakey raho, jo mehar tumne apni kafir biwiyon ko diye thay woh tum wapas maang lo aur jo mehar kafiron ne apni musalmaan biwiyon ko diye thay unhein woh wapas maang lein. Yeh Allah ka hukum hai, woh tumhare darmiyaan faisla karta hai aur Allah Aleem-o-Hakeem (all knowing-most wise) hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

وَاِنۡ فَاتَكُمۡ شَىۡءٌ مِّنۡ اَزۡوَاجِكُمۡ اِلَى الۡكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبۡتُمۡ فَاٰ تُوا الَّذِيۡنَ ذَهَبَتۡ اَزۡوَاجُهُمۡ مِّثۡلَ مَاۤ اَنۡفَقُوۡا ؕ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡـتُمۡ بِهٖ مُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ‏ ١١

And if you fail to receive from the unbelievers a part of the bridal-due of your disbelieving wives, and then your turn comes, pay to those who have been left on the other side an amount the like of the bridal-due that they have paid. And have fear of Allah in Whom you believe.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur agar tumhari kafir biwiyon ke meharon mein se kuch tumhein kuffar se wapas na miley aur phir tumhari naubat aaye to jin logon ki biwiyan udhar reh gayi hain unko itni rakam ada kardo jo unke diye huey meharon ke barabar ho. Aur us khuda se darte raho jispar tum iman laye ho

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ اِذَا جَآءَكَ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتُ يُبَايِعۡنَكَ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ لَّا يُشۡرِكۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ شَيۡــًٔا وَّلَا يَسۡرِقۡنَ وَلَا يَزۡنِيۡنَ وَلَا يَقۡتُلۡنَ اَوۡلَادَهُنَّ وَلَا يَاۡتِيۡنَ بِبُهۡتَانٍ يَّفۡتَرِيۡنَهٗ بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِنَّ وَاَرۡجُلِهِنَّ وَلَا يَعۡصِيۡنَكَ فِىۡ مَعۡرُوۡفٍ فَبَايِعۡهُنَّ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُنَّ اللّٰهَؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ١٢

O Prophet, when believing women come to you and pledge to you that they will not associate aught with Allah in His Divinity, that they will not steal, that they will not commit illicit sexual intercourse, that they will not kill their children, that they will not bring forth a calumny between their hands and feet, and that they will not disobey you in anything known to be good, then accept their allegiance and ask Allah to forgive them. Surely Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey Nabi, Jab tumhare paas momin auratein bayt (pledge) karne ke liye aayein aur is baat ka ahad karein ke woh Allah ke saath kisi cheez ko shareek na karengi, chori na karengi, zina na karengi, apni aulad ko qatal na karengi, apne haath paaon ke aage koi bohtan (calumny) ghad kar na layengi, Aur kisi amr-e-maaroof (anything known to be good) mein tumhari nafarmani na karengi, to unse bayt lelo aur unke haqq mein Allah se dua-e-magfirat karo. Yaqeenan Allah darguzar(maaf) farmane wala aur Reham karne wala hai

— Abul Ala Maududi (Roman Urdu)

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَوَلَّوۡا قَوۡمًا غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ قَدۡ يَــٮِٕـسُوۡا مِنَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ كَمَا يَــٮِٕـسَ الۡكُفَّارُ مِنۡ اَصۡحٰبِ الۡقُبُوۡرِ‏ ١٣

Believers, do not make friends with those against whom Allah is wrathful and who are despaired of the Hereafter, as despaired as are the unbelievers lying in their graves.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aey logon jo iman laye ho, un logon ko dost na banao jinpar Allah ne gazab farmaya hai, Jo aakhirat se usi tarah mayous hain jis tarah kabaron mein padey huey kafir mayous hain
