And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy

وَإِذَاAnd whenكُنتَyou areفِيهِمْamong themفَأَقَمْتَand you leadلَهُمُfor themٱلصَّلَوٰةَthe prayerفَلْتَقُمْthen let standطَآئِفَةٌa groupمِّنْهُمof themمَّعَكَwith youوَلْيَأْخُذُوٓا۟and let them takeأَسْلِحَتَهُمْtheir armsفَإِذَاThen whenسَجَدُوا۟they have prostratedفَلْيَكُونُوا۟then let them beمِنfromوَرَآئِكُمْbehind youوَلْتَأْتِand let come (forward)طَآئِفَةٌa group أُخْرَىٰotherلَمْ(which has) notيُصَلُّوا۟prayedفَلْيُصَلُّوا۟and let them prayمَعَكَwith youوَلْيَأْخُذُوا۟and let them takeحِذْرَهُمْtheir precautionsوَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْand their armsوَدَّWishedٱلَّذِينَthose whoكَفَرُوا۟disbelievedلَوْifتَغْفُلُونَyou neglectعَنْ[about]أَسْلِحَتِكُمْyour armsوَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْand your baggageفَيَمِيلُونَso (that) they (can) assaultعَلَيْكُم[upon] youمَّيْلَةً(in) an attackوَٰحِدَةًsingleوَلَاBut (there is) noجُنَاحَblameعَلَيْكُمْupon youإِنifكَانَwasبِكُمْwith youأَذًىany troubleمِّن(because) ofمَّطَرٍrainأَوْorكُنتُمyou areمَّرْضَىٰٓsickأَنthatتَضَعُوٓا۟you lay downأَسْلِحَتَكُمْyour armsوَخُذُوا۟but takeحِذْرَكُمْyour precautionsإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahأَعَدَّhas preparedلِلْكَٰفِرِينَfor the disbelieversعَذَابًاa punishmentمُّهِينًاhumiliating﴿١٠٢﴾

And when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they have prostrated, let them be [in position] behind you and have the other group come forward which has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack. But there is no blame upon you, if you are troubled by rain or are ill, for putting down your arms, but take precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment

فَإِذَاThen whenقَضَيْتُمُyou (have) finishedٱلصَّلَوٰةَthe prayerفَٱذْكُرُوا۟then rememberٱللَّهَAllahقِيَٰمًاstandingوَقُعُودًاand sittingوَعَلَىٰand (lying) onجُنُوبِكُمْyour sidesفَإِذَاBut whenٱطْمَأْنَنتُمْyou are secureفَأَقِيمُوا۟then establishٱلصَّلَوٰةَthe (regular) prayerإِنَّIndeedٱلصَّلَوٰةَthe prayerكَانَتْisعَلَىonٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَthe believersكِتَٰبًاprescribedمَّوْقُوتًا(at) fixed times﴿١٠٣﴾

And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times

وَلَاAnd (do) notتَهِنُوا۟be weakفِىinٱبْتِغَآءِpursuitٱلْقَوْمِ(of) the peopleإِنIfتَكُونُوا۟you areتَأْلَمُونَsufferingفَإِنَّهُمْthen indeed, theyيَأْلَمُونَare (also) sufferingكَمَاlike whatتَأْلَمُونَyou are sufferingوَتَرْجُونَwhile you (have) hopeمِنَfromٱللَّهِAllahمَاwhatلَاnotيَرْجُونَthey hopeوَكَانَAnd isٱللَّهُAllahعَلِيمًاAll-KnowingحَكِيمًاAll-Wise﴿١٠٤﴾

And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you should be suffering - so are they suffering as you are suffering, but you expect from Allah that which they expect not. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise

إِنَّآIndeedأَنزَلْنَآWe (have) sent downإِلَيْكَto youٱلْكِتَٰبَthe Bookبِٱلْحَقِّwith the truthلِتَحْكُمَso that you may judgeبَيْنَbetweenٱلنَّاسِthe peopleبِمَآwith whatأَرَىٰكَhas shown youٱللَّهُAllahوَلَاAnd (do) notتَكُنbeلِّلْخَآئِنِينَfor the deceitfulخَصِيمًاa pleader﴿١٠٥﴾

Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which Allah has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate

وَٱسْتَغْفِرِAnd seek forgivenessٱللَّهَ(of) AllahإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahكَانَisغَفُورًاOft-ForgivingرَّحِيمًاMost Merciful﴿١٠٦﴾

And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful

وَلَاAnd (do) notتُجَٰدِلْargueعَنِforٱلَّذِينَthose whoيَخْتَانُونَdeceiveأَنفُسَهُمْthemselvesإِنَّIndeedٱللَّهَAllahلَا(does) notيُحِبُّloveمَن(the one) whoكَانَisخَوَّانًاtreacherousأَثِيمًا(and) sinful﴿١٠٧﴾

And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, Allah loves not one who is a habitually sinful deceiver

They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from Allah, and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And ever is Allah, of what they do, encompassing

هَٰٓأَنتُمْHere you are هَٰٓؤُلَآءِthose whoجَٰدَلْتُمْ[you] argueعَنْهُمْfor themفِىinٱلْحَيَوٰةِthe lifeٱلدُّنْيَا(of) the worldفَمَنbut whoيُجَٰدِلُwill argueٱللَّهَ(with) Allahعَنْهُمْfor themيَوْمَ(on the) Dayٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ(of) [the] Resurrectionأَمorمَّنwhoيَكُونُwill beعَلَيْهِمْ[over them]وَكِيلًا(their) defender﴿١٠٩﴾

Here you are - those who argue on their behalf in [this] worldly life - but who will argue with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will [then] be their representative

And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful

And whoever commits a sin only earns it against himself. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise

But whoever earns an offense or a sin and then blames it on an innocent [person] has taken upon himself a slander and manifest sin

And if it was not for the favor of Allah upon you, [O Muhammad], and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they will not harm you at all. And Allah has revealed to you the Book and wisdom and has taught you that which you did not know. And ever has the favor of Allah upon you been great

No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allah - then We are going to give him a great reward

And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers - We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray

They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Satan

Whom Allah has cursed. For he had said, "I will surely take from among Your servants a specific portion

And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah." And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allah has certainly sustained a clear loss

Satan promises them and arouses desire in them. But Satan does not promise them except delusion
