But those who believe and do the right, and believe what has been revealed to Muhammad, which is the truth from their Lord, will have their faults condoned by Him and their state improved.
Shakir
And (as for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad, and it is the very truth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition.

اور ایمان لائے اور اچھے کام کیے اور اس پر ایمان لائے جو محمد پر اتارا گیا (ف۴) اور وہی ان کے رب کے پاس سے حق ہے اللہ نے ان کی برائیاں اتار دیں اور ان کی حالتیں سنوار دیں (ف۵)
That is because those who refuse to believe only follow what is false; but those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. That is how God gives men precepts of wisdom.
Shakir
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and have given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.

یہ اس لیے کہ کافر باطل کے پیرو ہوئے اور ایمان والوں نے حق کی پیروی کی جو ان کے رب کی طرف سے ہے (ف۶) اللہ لوگوں سے ان کے احوال یونہی بیان فرماتا ہے (ف۷)
So, when you clash with the unbelievers, smite their necks until you overpower them, then hold them in bondage. Then either free them graciously or after taking a ransom, until war shall have come to end. If God had pleased He could have punished them (Himself), but He wills to test some of you through some others. He will not allow the deeds of those who are killed in the cause of God to go waste.
Shakir
So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.

تو جب کافروں سے تمہارا سامناہو(ف۸) تو گردنیں مارنا ہے (ف۹) یہاں تک کہ جب انہیں خوب قتل کرلو (ف۱۰) تو مضبوط باندھو، پھر اس کے بعد چاہے احسان کرکے چھوڑ دو چاہے فدیہ لے لو (ف۱۱) یہاں تک کہ لڑائی اپنابوجھ رکھ دے (ف۱۲) بات یہ ہے اوراللہ چاہتا تو آپ ہی اُن سے بدلہ لیتا (ف۱۳) مگر اس لئے (ف۱۴)تم میں ایک کو دوسرے سے جانچے (ف۱۵) اور جو اللہ کی راہ میں مارے گئے اللہ ہرگز ان کے عمل ضائع نہ فرمائے گا (ف۱۶)
Have they not journeyed in the land and seen the fate of those before them? Destroyed they were utterly by God; and a similar (fate) awaits the unbelievers.
Shakir
Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them: Allah brought down destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it.

تو کیا انہوں نے زمین میں سفر نہ کیا کہ دیکھتے ان سے اگلوں کا (ف۲۲) کیسا انجام ہوا، اللہ نے ان پر تباہی ڈالی (ف۲۳) اور ان کافروں کے لیے بھی ویسی کتنی ہی ہیں (ف۲۴)
Verily God will admit those who believe and do the right into gardens with streams of water running by. But the unbelievers revel and carouse and subsist like beasts, and Hell will be their residence.
Shakir
Surely Allah will make those who believe and do good enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; and those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as the beasts eat, and the fire is their abode.
Ahmed Raza Khan
بیشک اللہ داخل فرمائے گا انہیں جو ایمان لائے اور اچھے کام کیے باغوں میں جن کے نیچے نہریں رواں، اور کافر برتتے ہیں اور کھاتے ہیں (ف۲۶) جیسے چوپائے کھائیں (ف۲۷) اور آگ میں ان کا ٹھکانا ہے،
The semblance of Paradise promised the pious and devout (is that of a garden) with streams of water that will not go rank, and rivers of milk whose taste will not undergo a change, and rivers of wine delectable to drinkers, and streams of purified honey, and fruits of every kind in them, and forgiveness of their Lord. Are these like those who will live for ever in the Fire and be given boiling water to drink which will cut their intestines to shreds?
Shakir
A parable of the garden which those guarding (against evil) are promised: Therein are rivers of water that does not alter, and rivers of milk the taste whereof does not change, and rivers of drink delicious to those who drink, and rivers of honey clarified and for them therein are all fruits and protection from their Lord. (Are these) like those who abide in the fire and who are made to drink boiling water so it rends their bowels asunder.

احوال اس جنت کا جس کا وعدہ پرہیزگاروں سے ہے، اس میں ایسی پانی کی نہریں ہیں جو کبھی نہ بگڑے (ف۳۳) اور ایسے دودھ کی نہریں ہیں جس کا مزہ نہ بدلا (ف۳۴) اور ایسی شراب کی نہریں ہیں جس کے پینے میں لذت ہے (ف۳۵) اور ایسی شہد کی نہریں ہیں جو صاف کیا گیا (ف۳۶) اور ان کے لیے اس میں ہر قسم کے پھل ہیں، اور اپنے رب کی مغفرت (ف۳۷) کیا ایسے چین والے ان کی برابر ہوجائیں گے جنہیں ہمیشہ آگ میں رہنا اور انہیں کھولتا پانی پلایا جائے گا کہ آنتوں کے ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کردے،
There are some who listen to you; but as soon as they go from you they say to those who were given knowledge: "What is this he is saying now?" They are those whose hearts have been sealed by God, and they follow their own lusts.
Shakir
And there are those of them who seek to listen to you, until when they go forth from you, they say to those who have been given the knowledge: What was it that he said just now? These are they upon whose hearts Allah has set a seal and they follow their low desires.

اور ان (ف۳۸) میں سے بعض تمہارے ارشاد سنتے ہیں (ف۳۹) یہاں تک کہ جب تمہارے پاس سے نکل کر جائیں (ف۴۰) علم والوں سے کہتے ہیں (ف۴۱) ابھی انہوں نے کیا فرمایا (ف۴۲) یہ ہیں وہ جن کے دلوں پر اللہ نے مہر کردی (ف۴۳) اور اپنی خواہشوں کے تابع ہوئے (ف۴۲)
Do they wait for any thing but the Hour (of change), that it may come upon them suddenly? Its signs have already appeared. How then will they be warned when it has come upon them?
Shakir
Do they then wait for aught but the hour that it should come to them all of a sudden? Now indeed the tokens of it have (already) come, but how shall they have their reminder when it comes on them?
Ahmed Raza Khan
تو کاہے کے انتظار میں ہیں (ف۴۸) مگر قیامت کے کہ ان پر اچانک آجائے، کہ اس کی علامتیں تو آہی چکی ہیں (ف۴۹) پھر جب آجائے گی تو کہاں وہ اور کہاں ان کا سمجھنا،
Know then, therefore, there is no god but He, and ask forgiveness for your sins and those of believing men and women. God knows your wanderings and your destination.
Shakir
So know that there is no god but Allah, and, ask protection for your fault and for the believing men and the believing women; and Allah knows the place of your returning and the place of your abiding.

تو جان لو کہ اللہ کے سوا کسی کی بندگی نہیں اور اے محبوب! اپنے خاصوں اور عام مسلمان مردوں اور عورتوں کے گناہوں کی معافی مانگو (ف۵۰) اور اللہ جانتا ہے دن کو تمہارا پھرنا (ف۵۱) اور رات کو تمہارا آرام لینا (ف۵۲)
