60:1
يَـٰٓ أَيُّهَا
O you
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
لَا
(Do) not
تَتَّخِذُواۡ
take
عَدُوِّى
My enemies
وَعَدُوَّكُمۡ
and your enemies
أَوۡلِيَا ٓءَ
(as) allies
تُلۡقُونَ
offering
إِلَيۡهِم
them
love
وَقَدۡ
while
كَفَرُواۡ
they have disbelieved
بِمَا
in what
جَا ٓءَكُم
came to you
of
the truth
يُخۡرِجُونَ
driving out
the Messenger
وَإِيَّاكُمۡۙ
and yourselves
أَن
because
you believe
بِٱ للَّهِ
in Allah
رَبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
إِن
If
you
خَرَجۡ تُمۡ
come forth
جِهَـٰ دًا
(to) strive
in
سَبِيلِى
My way
وَٱ بۡ تِغَا ٓءَ
and (to) seek
مَرۡضَاتِىۚ
My Pleasure
تُسِرُّونَ
You confide
إِلَيۡهِم
to them
love
وَأَنَاۡ
but I Am
أَعۡلَمُ
most knowing
بِمَآ
of what
أَخۡفَيۡتُمۡ
you conceal
وَمَآ
and what
أَعۡلَنت ُمۡۚ
you declare
وَمَن
And whoever
does it
مِنك ُمۡ
among you
فَقَدۡ
then certainly
ضَلَّ
he has strayed
سَوَا ٓءَ
(from the) straight
path
O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies,1 extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allāh, your Lord. If you have come out for jihād [i.e., fighting or striving] in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection [i.e., instruction], but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.
60:2
إِن
If
they gain dominance over you
يَكُونُواۡ
they would be
لَكُمۡ
to you
أَعۡدَا ٓءً
enemies
and extend
إِلَيۡكُمۡ
against you
أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ
their hands
وَأَلۡسِنَتَهُم
and their tongues
with evil
وَوَدُّواۡ
and they desire
لَوۡ
that
تَكۡفُرُو نَ
٢you would disbelieve
If they gain dominance over you, they would be [i.e., behave] to you as enemies and extend against you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they wish you would disbelieve.
60:3
لَن
Never
will benefit you
أَرۡحَامُكُمۡ
your relatives
وَلَآ
and not
أَوۡلَـٰ دُكُمۡۚ
your children
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
(of) the Resurrection
يَفۡصِلُ
He will judge
بَيۡنَكُمۡۚ
between you
وَٱ للَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
بَصِي رٌ
٣(is) All-Seer
Never will your relatives or your children benefit you; the Day of Resurrection He will judge between you. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.
60:4
قَدۡ
Indeed

they said

to their people
إِنّ َا
Indeed, we

(are) disassociated
مِنك ُمۡ
from you

تَعۡبُدُونَ

مِن
from
besides
Allah
كَفَرۡنَا
We have denied
بِكُمۡ
you
وَبَدَا
and has appeared
بَيۡنَنَا
between us
وَبَيۡنَكُمُ
and between you
enmity
وَٱ لۡبَغۡضَا ٓءُ
and hatred
أَبَدًا
forever
حَتَّىٰ
until
تُؤۡمِنُواۡ
you believe
بِٱ للَّهِ
in Allah
وَحۡدَهُۥٓ
Alone
إِلَّا
Except
قَوۡلَ
(the) saying
إِبۡ رٰ
(of) Ibrahim
لِأَبِيهِ
to his father
لَأَسۡتَغۡفِرَنّ َ
Surely I ask forgiveness
لَكَ
for you
وَمَآ
but not
أَمۡلِكُ
I have power
لَكَ
for you
مِنَ
from
Allah
مِن
of
anything
Our Lord
عَلَيۡكَ
upon You
تَوَكَّلۡنَا
we put our trust
وَإِلَيۡكَ
and to You
أَنَبۡ نَا
we turn
وَإِلَيۡكَ
and to You
(is) the final return
There has already been for you an excellent pattern1 in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, "Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allāh. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allāh alone" - except for the saying of Abraham to his father, "I will surely ask forgiveness for you, but I have not [power to do] for you anything against Allāh. Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the destination.
60:5
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
لَا
(do) not
تَجۡ عَلۡنَا
make us
فِتۡنَةً
a trial
for those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
وَٱ غۡفِرۡ
and forgive
لَنَا
us
رَبَّنَآۖ
our Lord
إِنّ َكَ
Indeed You
أَنت َ
[You]
(are) the All-Mighty
the All-Wise
Our Lord, make us not [objects of] torment for the disbelievers and forgive us, our Lord. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
60:6
لَقَدۡ
Certainly

for (he) who
is
يَرۡجُواۡ
hopeful
(in) Allah
وَٱ لۡيَوۡمَ
and the Day
the Last
وَمَن
And whoever
turns away
فَإِنّ َ
then indeed
Allah
هُوَ
He
(is) Free of need
the Praiseworthy
There has certainly been for you in them an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allāh and the Last Day. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.
60:7
۞عَسَى
Perhaps
Allah
أَن
[that]
will put
بَيۡنَكُمۡ
between you
وَبَيۡنَ
and between
those (to) whom
عَادَيۡتُم
you have been enemies
among them
love
And Allah
قَدِيرٌۚ
(is) All-Powerful
And Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful
Perhaps Allāh will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies among them, affection. And Allāh is competent,1 and Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
60:8
لَّا
Not
يَنۡهَـٰ كُمُ
(does) forbid you
Allah
عَنِ
from
those who
لَمۡ
(do) not
يُقَـٰ تِلُوكُمۡ
fight you
فِى
in
the religion
وَلَمۡ
and (do) not
يُخۡرِجُوكُم
drive you out
of
your homes
أَن
that
you deal kindly
وَتُقۡ سِطُوٓ اۡ
and deal justly
إِلَيۡهِمۡۚ
with them
إِنّ َ
Indeed
Allah
يُحِبُّ
loves
those who act justly
Allāh does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.
60:9
إِنّ َمَا
Only
يَنۡهَـٰ كُمُ
forbids you
Allah
عَنِ
from
those who
قَـٰ تَلُوكُمۡ
fight you
فِى
in
the religion
وَأَخۡرَجُوكُم
and drive you out
of
your homes
وَظَـٰ هَرُواۡ
and support
عَلَىٰٓ
in
إِخۡرَاجِكُمۡ
your expulsion
أَن
that
you make them allies
وَمَن
And whoever
makes them allies
فَأُوۡ لَـٰٓ ئِكَ
then those
هُمُ
[they]
(are) the wrongdoers
Allāh only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies1 of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

He judges

وَٱ للَّهُ
And Allah
عَلِيمٌ
(is) All-Knowing
حَكِي مٌ
١٠All-Wise
O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine [i.e., test] them. Allāh is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But give them [i.e., the disbelievers] what they have spent.1 And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation [i.e., mahr]. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them [i.e., the disbelievers] ask for what they have spent.2 That is the judgement of Allāh; He judges between you. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
60:11
وَإِن
And if
have gone from you
شَىۡءٌ
any
of
أَزۡوٰ
your wives
إِلَى
to
the disbelievers
فَعَاقَبۡ تُمۡ
then your turn comes
فَـَٔـاتُواۡ
then give
(to) those who
ذَهَبَتۡ
have gone
أَزۡوٰ ُم
their wives
(the) like
مَآ
(of) what
أَنف َقُواۡۚ
they had spent
وَٱ تَّقُواۡ
And fear
Allah
(in) Whom
أَنت ُم
you
[in Him]
مُؤۡمِنُو نَ
١١(are) believers
And if you have lost any of your wives to the disbelievers and you subsequently obtain [something],1 then give those whose wives have gone the equivalent of what they had spent. And fear Allāh, in whom you are believers.
60:12
يَـٰٓ أَيُّهَا
O
Prophet
إِذَا
When
جَا ٓءَكَ
come to you
the believing women
يُبَايِعۡنَكَ
pledging to you
عَلَىٰٓ
[on]
أَن
that
not
يُشۡرِكۡنَ
they will associate
بِٱ للَّهِ
with Allah
شَيۡــًٔا
anything
and not
يَسۡرِقۡ نَ
they will steal
وَلَا
and not
يَزۡنِينَ
they will commit adultery
وَلَا
and not
يَقۡ تُلۡنَ
they will kill
أَوۡلَـٰ دَهُنّ َ
their children
وَلَا
and not
يَأۡتِينَ
they bring
بِبُهۡتَـٰ نٍ
slander
they invent it
بَيۡنَ
between
أَيۡدِيهِنّ َ
their hands
وَأَرۡجُلِهِنّ َ
and their feet
وَلَا
and not
يَعۡصِينَكَ
they will disobey you
فِى
in
مَعۡرُوفٍۙ
(the) right
then accept their pledge
وَٱ سۡتَغۡفِرۡ
and ask forgiveness
لَهُنّ َ
for them
(from) Allah
إِنّ َ
Indeed
Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful
O Prophet, when the believing women come to you pledging to you that they will not associate anything with Allāh, nor will they steal, nor will they commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor will they kill their children, nor will they bring forth a slander they have invented between their arms and legs,1 nor will they disobey you in what is right - then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness for them of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
60:13
يَـٰٓ أَيُّهَا
O you
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe

(Do) not

the Hereafter
كَمَا
as
يَئِسَ
despair
the disbelievers
مِنۡ
of
أَصۡحَـٰ بِ
(the) companions
(of) the graves
O you who have believed, do not make allies of a people with whom Allāh has become angry. They have despaired of [reward in] the Hereafter just as the disbelievers have despaired of [meeting] the companions [i.e., inhabitants] of the graves.
