[taul]

---In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.



64- We sent not an apostle, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah.s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful.

65- But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.


66- If We had ordered them to sacrifice their lives to leave their homes, very few of them would have done it: But if they had done what they were (actually) told, it would have been best for them, and would have gone farthest to strengthen their (faith);

67- And We should then have given them from our presence a great reward;

68- And We should have shown them the Straight Way.

69- All who obey Allah and the apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!

70- Such is the bounty form Allah. And sufficient is it that Allah knoweth all.

71- O ye who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth in parties or go forth all together.

72- There are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: If a misfortune befalls you, they say: "(Allah) did favour us in that we were not present among them."

73- But if good fortune comes to you from Allah, they would be sure to say - as if there had never been Ties of affection between you and them - "Oh! I wish I had been with them; a fine thing should I then have made of it!"

74- Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah, - whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).

75- And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? - Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!"

76- Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.

77- Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charilty? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah. They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

78- "Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah.: but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?

79- Whatever good, (O man!) happens to thee, is from Allah. but whatever evil happens to thee, is from thy (own) soul. and We have sent thee as an apostle to (instruct) mankind. And enough is Allah for a witness.

80- He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah. But if any turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds).

81- They have "Obedience" on their lips; but when they leave thee, a section of them Meditate all night on things very different from what thou tellest them. But Allah records their nightly (plots): So keep clear of them, and put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

82- Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.

83- When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.

84- Then fight in Allah.s cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

85- Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein: And whoever recommends and helps an evil cause, shares in its burden: And Allah hath power over all things.

86- When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things.

May Allah Gives us guidance and Help us follow the right path.

4:64 We have sent no Messenger but that he should be obeyed by Gods Leave. They are not sent with hypotheses, but to show people how they can establish an equitable society, in which people flourish individually and collectively. They attain personal development and become worthy of immortal life in the Paradise (89:29). If anyone hurts his or her self by transgressing His Laws, or wrongs a member of the community, he or she must come to the Messenger, the Central Authority of the System, to make amends. Sitting back at home and praying in hiding would not help (9:102-105, 20:82, 5:10). The Messenger will then, decide the matter seeing if there is room for forgiveness in the Divine Law. Such is the Moral Order that the Messenger has inculcated in the hearts and in the society where one becomes the watcher over one's own self (8:74-75, 9:100, 48:29, 59:8-9). Indeed, there is plenty of room for making amends, and for Mercy in the Divine System. God is Acceptor of repentance, Merciful.

4:65 By your Lord, they do not really believe unless they make you (O Prophet) a judge in all their disagreements. And then find no hesitation in their hearts in accepting your judgment, and submit with full submission.

4:66 And if We had decreed for them, Lay down your lives, or Forsake your homelands, a few of them would have done it. Although, if they did as they were admonished, it would have been for their own good, and a cause for strengthening themselves.

4:67 And then, We would give them from Our Presence an immense reward.

4:68 And would direct them straight to the Path of Paradise.

4:69 Whoever obeys God and the Messenger, belongs with those blessed by God: the prophets, the first supporters of the Truth, the martyrs, and those who helped humanity. Ah! How beautiful is their company!

4:70 Such is the Bounty from God. And sufficient it is that God knows all.

4:71 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! Be fully prepared against danger. You shall remain alert to meet aggression. Take your precautions then mobilize in groups or all together as determined by your Commander.

4:72 Among you there is he who would rather lag behind. If a setback occurs he would say, "Thank God! I was not present among them.

4:73 But if you attain the blessing of victory from God, he says, as if the love between you and him was beyond question, "Oh! I wish I had been with them and could be a part of such a great victory.

4:74 Let them fight in Gods Cause, all those who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoever fights in Gods Cause, be he slain or be he victorious, We shall soon give him an immense reward.

4:75 What has happened to you that you do not fight in the Cause of God? Defenseless men, women, and children are being oppressed and crying, "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors, and raise for us protectors and helpers." [God does not fight in person, or send His armies or angels physically. 22:39]

4:76 Believers fight in the Cause of God, that is, for the removal of tyranny and in self-defense (benign aggression). And the rejecters of the Truth fight in tyranny and for their selfish desire to oppress people (malignant aggression). So fight against those friends of Satan. Surely, Satan's plan is feeble because the selfish desire fails before the Divine Law of Requital.

4:77 Have you seen those who have been told, Curb your hands, and establish the Divine System and set up the just Economic Order? But as soon as the Command came to fight, some of them feared men as they should have feared God, or even more. They say, "Our Lord! Why have You ordained fighting for us? If only You had granted us a little more delay!" Say, Brief is the enjoyment of this world, whereas the life to come is the best for those who live upright. None of you shall be wronged a hairs breadth.

4:78 Wherever you may be, death will find you, even if you live in fortified castles. When something good happens to them, they say, It is from God. And when affliction befalls them they say to each other, This is from you O fellow-man! Tell them, All things happen according to Gods Laws. What is amiss with these people, they do not understand a thing?

4:79 God never creates evil. Things and events have good and evil aspects. When you act according to the Law of God the results are pleasant, and when you act against the Law the results are unpleasant (42:30). So whatever good happens to you is from God, and whatever evil happens to you is from yourself. We have sent you as a Messenger to mankind and God is Sufficient as Witness.

4:80 Whoever obeys the Messenger, obeys God. But if any turn away, We have not sent you as a watcher over them. [5:44]

4:81 They express verbal allegiance to the System, It is Obedience! But when they go away from you a party of them spends the night in planning against the Belief System you preach. They discuss ways to corrupt the Message. God records what they plan by night. Ignore them, go ahead with your Program and trust in God (6:107). God is Sufficient as Guardian.

4:82 Will they not then, try to understand this Quran? If it were from other than God they would surely have found in it much contradiction.

4:83 The Book of God provides easy and practical social Guidance. There are people who spread rumors pertaining to safety or fear. Those who hear rumors shall refer the matter concerning public safety and threat, to the Messenger and the government officials. Those who are engaged in obtaining intelligence will indeed know what to do with it. Had it not been for the Bounty of God and His Mercy, most of you would still be following the Satanic elements.

4:84 (O Messenger) Fight in the Cause of God. You are responsible only for yourself. Inspire the believers (to conquer all fear). God may well curb the might of the unbelievers (who are bent upon destroying the System). For God is the Strongest in Might, and Strongest in the ability to deter. [2:151]

4:85 Whoever rallies to a cause that benefits people shall have a share in its blessings, and whoever rallies to a cause that creates injustice, shall be answerable for his part in it. God is Watcher over everything.

4:86 (Good deeds that contribute to the well being of the society begin with kindness. 2:177). When you are greeted with a greeting, respond with a better greeting or return similarly. God reckons all things. [Anyone who contributes towards peace and betterment of life, do better or as much for him]
