Surah “The Ranks, Battle Array”

as rendered by Sahib Mustaqim Bleher — 14 verses

What is in the heavens and what is on earth glorifies Allah, and He is the mighty and wise.
Oh you believers, why do you say what you don´t do?
It is highly offensive to Allah that you say what you don´t do.
Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a tight-fitting structure.
And when Musa (Moses) said to his people, oh my people, why do you give me troubles when you know that I am the messenger of Allah to you, then when they turned aside, Allah turned their hearts, and Allah does not guide sinful people.
And when ´Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) said: oh children of Israel, I am the messenger of Allah to you, confirming what came before me of the Torah and giving you good news of a messenger to come after me whose name is Ahmad, then when he came to them with clear proofs they said: this is plain magic.
And who is more wrong than he who invents against Allah a lie when he is called to submission (Islam), and Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.
They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will complete His light even if those who reject (the truth) resent it.
He is who sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth to make it manifest over all religion even if the idolaters resent it.
Oh you believers, shall I point you to a trade which will rescue you from a painful punishment?
Believe in Allah and His messenger and strive in the way of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that is better for you if you knew.
He will forgive you your sins and enter you into gardens through which rivers flow and good accommodation in the gardens of Eden, that is the ultimate success.
And other things which you love, help and victory from Allah are near, and give good news to the believers.
Oh you believers, be helpers of Allah like ´Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) said to the disciples: who will be my helpers towards Allah? The disciples said: we are the helpers of Allah, then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group rejected (the truth), so We strengthened those who believed against their enemies and they became dominant.
