Dr. Mustafa Khattab Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah. For He ˹alone˺ is the Almighty, All-Wise.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab O believers! Why do you say what you do not do?

Dr. Mustafa Khattab How despicable it is in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do!

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause in ˹solid˺ ranks as if they were one concrete structure.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab ˹Remember, O  Prophet,˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Why do you hurt me when you already know I am Allah’s messenger to you?” So when they ˹persistently˺ deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate. For Allah does not guide the rebellious people.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.”¹ Yet when the Prophet came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is pure magic.”

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Who does more wrong than the one who fabricates lies about Allah when invited to submit ˹to Him˺?¹ For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab They wish to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will ˹certainly˺ perfect His light, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab O believers! Shall I guide you to an exchange that will save you from a painful punishment?
