When the angels take the souls of those who wronged themselves, they will ask, “What situation were you in?” They will reply, “We were oppressed in the land.” The angels will say, “Was Allah’s earth not spacious enough for you to migrate?” Their home will be Hell. What a terrible destination.
Whoever migrates in Allah’s cause will find many places of refuge and abundance on the earth. Whoever leaves home migrating to Allah and His Messenger and then death reaches them, their reward has already become due from Allah. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
When you travel through the land, there is no blame on you for shortening the prayer if you fear that those who reject faith may attack you. Those who reject faith are clearly your enemies.
When you are among them and lead them in prayer, let one group stand in prayer with you while keeping their weapons. When they have prostrated, let them move behind you and let another group that has not yet prayed come and pray with you, while taking their precautions and carrying their weapons. Those who reject faith would love for you to neglect your weapons and belongings so they could attack you all at once. There is no blame on you if you are troubled by rain or are ill and put down your weapons, but take your precautions. Allah has prepared a humiliating punishment for those who reject faith.
When you have completed the prayer, remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on your sides. Then when you are secure, establish the prayer normally. Prayer is prescribed for believers at appointed times.
Do not lose heart in pursuing the hostile force. If you are suffering, they are suffering just as you are, while you hope from Allah for what they cannot hope for. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
We have sent down the Scripture to you with truth so that you may judge between people by what Allah has shown you. Do not be an advocate for those who betray trust.
They hide from people, but they cannot hide from Allah. He is with them when they secretly plan at night words He does not approve of. Allah fully encompasses what they do.
Here you are, arguing on their behalf in this worldly life. But who will argue with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Resurrection, or who will be their defender?
Had it not been for Allah’s favor and mercy upon you, a group of them would have tried to mislead you. But they mislead only themselves and cannot harm you in any way. Allah has sent down to you the Scripture and wisdom and taught you what you did not know. Allah’s favor upon you is tremendous.
There is no good in much of their secret conversation, except when someone calls for charity, what is right, or reconciliation between people. Whoever does that seeking Allah’s pleasure, We will give them a tremendous reward.
Whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them and follows a path other than that of the believers, We will leave them to what they have chosen and make them enter Hell. What a terrible destination.
Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, but He forgives anything less than that for whomever He wills. Whoever associates partners with Allah has certainly strayed far away.
I will surely mislead them, fill them with false hopes, command them so they will slit the ears of livestock, and command them so they will alter Allah’s creation.” Whoever takes Satan as a protecting ally instead of Allah has clearly suffered a devastating loss.
