4:88 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Why are you ˹believers˺ divided into two groups regarding the hypocrites while Allah allowed them to regress ˹to disbelief˺ because of their misdeeds? Do you wish to guide those left by Allah to stray? And whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will never find for them a way.
4:89 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran They wish you would disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so you may all be alike. So do not take them as allies unless they emigrate in the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take any of them as allies or helpers,1
4:90 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran except those who are allies of a people you are bound with in a treaty or those wholeheartedly opposed to fighting either you or their own people. If Allah had willed, He would have empowered them to fight you. So if they refrain from fighting you and offer you peace, then Allah does not permit you to harm them.
4:91 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran You will find others who wish to be safe from you and their own people. Yet they cannot resist the temptation ˹of disbelief or hostility˺. If they do not keep away, offer you peace, or refrain from attacking you, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them. We have given you full permission over such people.
4:92 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran It is not lawful for a believer to kill another except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer unintentionally must free a believing slave and pay blood-money to the victim’s family—unless they waive it charitably. But if the victim is a believer from a hostile people, then a believing slave must be freed. And if the victim is from a people bound with you in a treaty, then blood-money must be paid to the family along with freeing a believing slave. Those who are unable, let them fast two consecutive months—as a means of repentance to Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
4:93 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran And whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell—where they will stay indefinitely.1 Allah will be displeased with them, condemn them, and will prepare for them a tremendous punishment.
4:94 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran O believers! When you struggle in the cause of Allah, be sure of who you fight. And do not say to those who offer you ˹greetings of˺ peace, “You are no believer!”—seeking a fleeting worldly gain.1 Instead, Allah has infinite bounties ˹in store˺. You were initially like them then Allah blessed you ˹with Islam˺. So be sure! Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
4:95 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Those believers who stay at home—except those with valid excuses1—are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has elevated in rank those who strive with their wealth and their lives above those who stay behind ˹with valid excuses˺. Allah has promised each a fine reward, but those who strive will receive a far better reward than others—
4:96 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran far superior ranks, forgiveness, and mercy from Him. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
4:97 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran When the angels seize the souls of those who have wronged themselves1—scolding them, “What was wrong with you?” they will reply, “We were oppressed in the land.” The angels will respond, “Was Allah’s earth not spacious enough for you to emigrate?” It is they who will have Hell as their home—what an evil destination!
4:98 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Except helpless men, women, and children who cannot afford a way out—
4:99 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran it is right to hope that Allah will pardon them. For Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.
4:100 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find many safe havens and bountiful resources throughout the earth. Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allah and His Messenger—their reward has already been secured with Allah. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
4:101 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran When you travel through the land, it is permissible for you to shorten the prayer1—˹especially˺ if you fear an attack by the disbelievers. Indeed, the disbelievers are your sworn enemies.
4:102 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran When you ˹O Prophet˺ are ˹campaigning˺ with them and you lead them in prayer, let one group of them pray with you—while armed. When they prostrate themselves, let the other group stand guard behind them. Then the group that has not yet prayed will then join you in prayer—and let them be vigilant and armed.1 The disbelievers would wish to see you neglect your weapons and belongings, so they could launch a sweeping assault on you. But there is no blame if you lay aside your weapons when overcome by heavy rain or illness—but take precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers.
4:103 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran When the prayers are over, remember Allah—whether you are standing, sitting, or lying down. But when you are secure, establish regular prayers. Indeed, performing prayers is a duty on the believers at the appointed times.
4:104 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not falter in pursuit of the enemy—if you are suffering, they too are suffering. But you can hope to receive from Allah what they can never hope for. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
4:105 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Indeed, We have sent down the Book to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth to judge between people by means of what Allah has shown you. So do not be an advocate for the deceitful.
4:106 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran And seek Allah’s forgiveness—indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
4:107 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not advocate for those who wrong themselves.1 Surely Allah does not like those who are deceitful, sinful.
