The Holy Qur'an: Chapter 61: The Ranks (Saff)

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

61:1. Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, let it declare the Praises and Glory of God: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

61:2. O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not?

61:3. Grievously odious is it in the sight of God that ye say that which ye do not.

61:4. Truly God loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.

61:5. And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do ye vex and insult me, though ye know that I am the messenger of God (sent) to you?" Then when they went wrong, God let their hearts go wrong. For God guides not those who are rebellious transgressors.

61:6. And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of God (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"

61:7. Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against God, even as he is being invited to Islam? And God guides not those who do wrong.

61:8. Their intention is to extinguish God's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: But God will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).

61:9. It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).

61:10. O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?-

61:11. That ye believe in God and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of God, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew!

61:12. He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement.

61:13. And another (favour will He bestow,) which ye do love,- help from God and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers.

61:14. O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of God: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) God?" Said the disciples, "We are God's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.
