Length: 2 mins, 32 secs
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
61:1. Everything in the heavens and the earth praises Allah. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
61:2. O you who believe! Why do you say what you do not do?
61:3. It is most hateful to Allah that you say what you do not do.
61:4. Allah loves those who fight in His cause, in ranks, as though they were a compact structure.
61:5. When Moses said to his people, “O my people, why do you hurt me, although you know that I am Allah’s Messenger to you?” And when they swerved, Allah swerved their hearts. Allah does not guide the sinful people.
61:6. And when Jesus son of Mary said, “O Children of Israel, I am Allah’s Messenger to you, confirming what preceded me of the Torah, and announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he showed them the miracles, they said, “This is obvious sorcery.”
61:7. And who is a greater wrongdoer than he who attributes falsehoods to Allah, when he is being invited to Islam? Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
61:8. They want to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths; but Allah will complete His Light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.
61:9. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, to make it prevail over all religions, even though the idolaters dislike it.
61:10. O you who believe! Shall I inform you of a trade that will save you from a painful torment?
61:11. That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and strive in the cause of Allah with your possessions and yourselves. That is best for you, if you only knew.
61:12. He will forgive you your sins; and will admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow, and into beautiful mansions in the Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme success.
61:13. And something else you love: support from Allah, and imminent victory. So give good news to the believers.
61:14. O you who believe! Be supporters of Allah, as Jesus son of Mary said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters towards Allah?” The disciples said, “We are Allah’s supporters.” So a group of the Children of Israel believed, while another group disbelieved. We supported those who believed against their foe, so they became dominant.
