| 3:148 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. For Allah loves the good-doers. | |
| 3:149 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | O believers! If you yield to the disbelievers, they will drag you back to disbelief—and you will become losers. | |
| 3:150 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | But no! Allah is your Guardian, and He is the best Helper. | |
| 3:151 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | We will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers for associating ˹false gods˺ with Allah—a practice He has never authorized. The Fire will be their home—what an evil place for the wrongdoers to stay! | |
| 3:152 | 1 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Indeed, Allah fulfilled His promise to you when you ˹initially˺ swept them away by His Will, then your courage weakened and you disputed about the command and disobeyed,1 after Allah had brought victory within your reach. Some of you were after worldly gain while others desired a heavenly reward. He denied you victory over them as a test, yet He has pardoned you. And Allah is Gracious to the believers. | |
| 3:153 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | ˹Remember˺ when you were running far away ˹in panic˺—not looking at anyone—while the Messenger was calling to you from behind! So Allah rewarded your disobedience with distress upon distress. Now, do not grieve over the victory you were denied or the injury you suffered. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. | |
| 3:154 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Then after distress, He sent down serenity in the form of drowsiness overcoming some of you, while others were disturbed by evil thoughts about Allah—the thoughts of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance. They ask, “Do we have a say in the matter?” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “All matters are destined by Allah.” They conceal in their hearts what they do not reveal to you. They say ˹to themselves˺, “If we had any say in the matter, none of us would have come to die here.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Even if you were to remain in your homes, those among you who were destined to be killed would have met the same fate.” Through this, Allah tests what is within you and purifies what is in your hearts. And Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart. | |
| 3:155 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Indeed, those ˹believers˺ who fled on the day when the two armies met were made to slip by Satan because of their misdeeds. But Allah has pardoned them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. | |
| 3:156 | 1 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | O believers! Do not be like the unfaithful1 who say about their brothers who travel throughout the land or engage in battle, “If they had stayed with us, they would not have died or been killed.” Allah makes such thinking a cause of agony in their hearts. It is Allah who gives life and causes death. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do. | |
| 3:157 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Should you be martyred or die in the cause of Allah, then His forgiveness and mercy are far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ those ˹who stay behind˺ accumulate. | |
| 3:158 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Whether you die or are martyred—all of you will be gathered before Allah. | |
| 3:159 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | It is out of Allah’s mercy that you ˹O Prophet˺ have been lenient with them. Had you been cruel or hard-hearted, they would have certainly abandoned you. So pardon them, ask Allah’s forgiveness for them, and consult with them in ˹conducting˺ matters. Once you make a decision, put your trust in Allah. Surely Allah loves those who trust in Him. | |
| 3:160 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | If Allah helps you, none can defeat you. But if He denies you help, then who else can help you? So in Allah let the believers put their trust. | |
| 3:161 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | It is not appropriate for a prophet to illegally withhold spoils of war. And whoever does so, it will be held against them on the Day of Judgment. Then every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and none will be wronged. | |
| 3:162 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Are those who seek Allah’s pleasure like those who deserve Allah’s wrath? Hell is their home. What an evil destination! | |
| 3:163 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | They ˹each˺ have varying degrees in the sight of Allah. And Allah is All-Seeing of what they do. | |
| 3:164 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favour by raising a messenger from among them—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom. For indeed they had previously been clearly astray. | |
| 3:165 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Why is it when you suffered casualties ˹at Uḥud˺—although you had made your enemy suffer twice as much ˹at Badr˺—you protested, “How could this be?”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “It is because of your disobedience.” Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything. | |
| 3:166 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | So what you suffered on the day the two armies met was by Allah’s Will, so that He might distinguish the ˹true˺ believers | |
| 3:167 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | and expose the hypocrites. When it was said to them, “Come fight in the cause of Allah or ˹at least˺ defend yourselves,” they replied, “If we had known there was fighting, we would have definitely gone with you.” They were closer to disbelief than to belief on that day—for saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. Allah is All-Knowing of what they hide. | |
