Bismi Llaahi l-raḥmaani l-raḥeem
-
Sabbaha lillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeemu;
Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorify (tasbih; effectuate their creational purpose through fulfilling their functions) Allah! HU is the Aziz, the Hakim.
-
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo lima taqooloona ma la tafAAaloona;
O believers... Why do you say what you do not do!
-
Kabura maqtan AAinda Allahi an taqooloo ma la tafAAaloona;
Saying things that you do not practice yourself incurs great hatred in the sight of Allah!
-
Inna Allaha yuhibbu allatheena yuqatiloona fee sabeelihi saffan kaannahum bunyanun marsoosun;
Allah loves those who fight in His cause, in rows like a single solid structure of steel.

Waith qala moosa liqawmihi ya qawmi lima tuthoonanee waqad taAAlamoona annee rasoolu Allahi ilaykum falamma zaghoo azagha Allahu quloobahum waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alfasiqeena;
And when Moses said to his people, “O my people... Why do you harm me when you know I am a Rasul of Allah (disclosed) for you?” But when they strayed (from the Truth), Allah turned their hearts away (from the Truth, so they could no longer perceive it)! Allah does not guide the corrupt in faith to the reality.

Waith qala AAeesa ibnu maryama ya banee israeela innee rasoolu Allahi ilaykum musaddiqan lima bayna yadayya mina alttawrati wamubashshiran birasoolin yatee min baAAdee ismuhu ahmadu falamma jaahum bialbayyinati qaloo hatha sihrun mubeenun;
And when Jesus, the son of Mary said, “O children of Israel... Indeed, I am a Rasul of Allah to you! Confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing the good news of a Rasul who is to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when they came as miracles they said, “Clearly, this is magic.”
Not:The Rasul of Allah (saw) says in regards to this: “My name in the Torah is ‘Ahyad’ (the one who distances), for I distance my people from the Fire... My name in the Zabur is ‘Al Mahi’ (the obliterator) for Allah has obliterated with me those who served idols... My name in the Gospel is ‘Ahmad’ (the One who does Hamd [evaluates] as the reflection of the Absolute Essence)... And my name in the Quran is ‘Muhammad’ (the One to whom Hamd is continually done), for I am the ‘Mahmud’ (the one who is evaluated) among the people of the heavens and the earth.”
-
Waman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi alkathiba wahuwa yudAAa ila alislami waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena;
And who does more wrong than the one who slanders against Allah (assumes the existence of an ‘other’ than Allah), even though he is invited to Islam? Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people!
-
Yureedoona liyutfioo noora Allahi biafwahihim waAllahu mutimmu noorihi walaw kariha alkafiroona;
They want to extinguish the Nur (light of knowledge) of Allah with their mouths (empty discourse). But Allah is the perfector of His Nur. Even though those who deny the knowledge of the reality may not like it!
-
Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bialhuda wadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala alddeeni kullihi walaw kariha almushrikoona;
It is He who disclosed His Rasul by the Truth and the reality, with the religion of Truth (the absolute knowledge of the system and sunnatullah). Even though the dualists may not like it!
-
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo hal adullukum AAala tijaratin tunjeekum min AAathabin aleemin;
O believers... Let me show you a trade that will save you from a grave suffering.
-
Tuminoona biAllahi warasoolihi watujahidoona fee sabeeli Allahi biamwalikum waanfusikum thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoona;
Believe in Allah and His Rasul as your essential reality with His Names and strive in the way of Allah, without expecting any return, with your wealth and your lives! This is better for you, if only you can comprehend!
-
Yaghfir lakum thunoobakum wayudkhilkum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu wamasakina tayyibatan fee jannati AAadnin thalika alfawzu alAAatheemu;
(Then) He will cover your mistakes arising from your egos and admit you to Paradises underneath which rivers flow and pure dwellings in Paradises of Bliss... This is the great attainment!
-
Waokhra tuhibboonaha nasrun mina Allahi wafathun qarreebun wabashshiri almumineena;
And there is more that you will love: Help from Allah and an imminent conquest (the experience of divine closeness)! So, give the good news to the believers!
-
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo koonoo ansara Allahi kama qala AAeesa ibnu maryama lilhawariyyeena man ansaree ila Allahi qala alhawariyyoona nahnu ansaru Allahi faamanat taifatun min banee israeela wakafarat taifatun faayyadna allatheena amanoo AAala AAaduwwihim faasbahoo thahireena;
O believers, be supporters of Allah; like when Jesus, the son of Mary said to his disciples, “Who are my supporters for Allah?” And his disciples said, “We are the supporters of Allah!” A group of the children of Israel believed and a group denied (the Truth). So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became prevalent.
