لَّقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِي رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٞ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا
٢١
Indeed in the Messenger of Allah
(Muhammad ﷺ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in
(the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much.
(21)
وَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابَ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَصَدَقَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ وَمَا زَادَهُمۡ إِلَّآ إِيمَٰنٗا وَتَسۡلِيمٗا
٢٢
And when the believers saw AlAhzab
(the Confederates), they said: "This is what Allah and His Messenger
(Muhammad ﷺ) had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger
(Muhammad ﷺ) had spoken the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their submissiveness
(to Allah).
(22)
مِّنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ رِجَالٞ صَدَقُواْ مَا عَٰهَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيۡهِۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحۡبَهُۥ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُۖ وَمَا بَدَّلُواْ تَبۡدِيلٗا
٢٣
Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah
[i.e. they have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations
(i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed
[i.e. they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allah] in the least.
(23)
لِّيَجۡزِيَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ بِصِدۡقِهِمۡ وَيُعَذِّبَ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ إِن شَآءَ أَوۡ يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورٗا رَّحِيمٗا
٢٤
That Allah may reward the men of truth for their truth
(i.e. for their patience at the accomplishment of that which they covenanted with Allah), and punish the hypocrites if He will or accept their repentance by turning to them in Mercy. Verily, Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(24)
وَرَدَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِغَيۡظِهِمۡ لَمۡ يَنَالُواْ خَيۡرٗاۚ وَكَفَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱلۡقِتَالَۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزٗا
٢٥
And Allah drove back those who disbelieved in their rage, they gained no advantage
(booty, etc.). Allah sufficed for the believers in the fighting
(by sending against the disbelievers a severe wind and troops of angels). And Allah is Ever All Strong, All Mighty.
(25)
وَأَنزَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَٰهَرُوهُم مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ مِن صَيَاصِيهِمۡ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعۡبَ فَرِيقٗا تَقۡتُلُونَ وَتَأۡسِرُونَ فَرِيقٗا
٢٦
And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them
(the disbelievers) Allah brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts,
(so that) a group
(of them) you killed, and a group
(of them) you made captives.
(26)
وَأَوۡرَثَكُمۡ أَرۡضَهُمۡ وَدِيَٰرَهُمۡ وَأَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ وَأَرۡضٗا لَّمۡ تَطَـُٔوهَاۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٗا
٢٧
And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden
(before). And Allah is Able to do all things.
(27)
