The
Byzantines have been defeated
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
Byzantines — who are among the People of the Scripture — have been vanquished;
the Persians vanquished them, and they are not people of a scripture, but
worship graven images. The Meccan disbelievers rejoiced in this [defeat of the
Byzantines] and said to the Muslims, ‘We shall vanquish you as the Persians
vanquished the Byzantines’;

the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
in
the nearer [part of the] land, that is, in the Byzantine land [that lies]
nearest to Persia in Mesopotamia (al-Jazīra). There the two armies met and the
Persians were the ones who had begun the invasion. But they, that is the
Byzantines, after their vanquishing (ghalabihim: the verbal noun [ghalab] has
been annexed to the direct object [hum], in other words, ghalabatu fāris
iyyāhum, ‘the Persians’ vanquishing of them’) shall be the victors, over the
Persians,

Within
three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that
day the believers will rejoice
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
in
a few years (bid‘, [usually means] between three and nine or ten years). So the
two armies met again seven years after this former encounter and the Byzantines
defeated the Persians. To God belongs the command before and after, that is,
before the defeat of the Byzantines and thereafter, that is to say, the Persian
victory at first and the Byzantine victory later were [the result of] God’s
command, in other words, His will, and on that day, the day when the Byzantines
will be victorious, the believers shall rejoice

Translation
In
the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted
in Might, the Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
in
God’s help, to them against the Persians. They [the believers] indeed rejoiced
in this, as they came to know of it on the day that it took place, on the day
of [the battle of] Badr, when Gabriel came down with this [news] thereon, in
addition to their rejoicing in their victory over the idolaters on that [same]
day. He helps whomever He will; and He is the Mighty, the Victor, the Merciful,
to believers.

people do not know.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
promise of God (wa‘da’Llāhi is the verbal noun substituting for the [full]
verbal construction; it is actually wa‘adahumu’Llāhu al-nasr, ‘God promised
them victory’). God does not fail His promise, of such [help], but most people,
namely, the disbelievers of Mecca, are not aware, of His promise to help them
[to victory].

unaware.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
They
know [merely] an outward aspect of the life of this world, that is to say, its
various means of [securing] livelihood, such as commerce, agriculture,
construction and cultivation and so on; but they, of the Hereafter, they are
oblivious (this repetition of hum, ‘they’, is for emphasis).

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Have
they not contemplated themselves?, so that they might emerge from their oblivion.
God did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, except
with the truth and an appointed term, for that [creation], at the conclusion of
which this [creation] will perish, and after which will be the Resurrection.
But indeed many people, that is to say, [such as] the Meccan disbelievers,
disbelieve in the encounter with their Lord, that is, they do not believe in
resurrection after death.

them with clear evidences. And Allah would not ever have wronged them, but they
were wronging themselves.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Have
they not travelled in the land and beheld how was the consequence for those
before them?, of [past] communities, which was that they were destroyed for
denying their messengers. They were more powerful than them — such were ‘Ād and
Thamūd — and they effected the land, they tilled it and churned it up to sow
crops and cultivate [trees], and developed it more than these, the Meccan
disbelievers, have developed it; and their messengers brought them clear signs,
manifest proofs, for God would never wrong them, by destroying them without
being guilty, but they used to wrong themselves, by denying their messengers.

Translation
Then
the end of those who did evil was the worst [consequence] because they denied
the signs of Allah and used to ridicule them.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Then
the consequence for those who committed evil was evil (al-sū’ā is the feminine
form of al-aswa’, ‘the worst’; [it may be read as] the predicate of kāna if one
reads ‘āqibatu, in the nominative; or it is the subject of kāna if read as
‘āqibata, in the accusative; and so what is meant is Hell [in the former
reading], or [according to the latter reading] simply their evil actions)
because they denied the signs of God, the Qur’ān, and made a mock of them.

He will reproduce it, that is, the creation of them, after their death, then to
Him you shall be returned (read turja‘ūna; or yurja‘ūna, ‘they shall be
returned’).

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He
has struck, He has coined, for you, O idolaters, a similitude, that is
[actually drawn], from yourselves, and it is [as follows]: do you have among
those whom your right hands own, that is to say, among your servants, any partners,
of yourselves, [who may share] in what We have provided for you, of property
and so on, so that you, and they, are equal therein, fearing them as you fear
your own [folk], [just as you fear] those free men like you? (the interrogative
is meant as a negation) in other words, ‘your servants are not partners of
yours in what you own, so how can you make some of God’s servants partners of
His. So We detail the signs, [so] We explain them in such detail, for people
who understand, [a people who] reflect.

So
set your purpose, O Muhammad (s), for religion, as a hanīf, as one inclining to
it — in other words, devote your religion, you and whoever follows you, purely
to God — a nature given by God, upon which He originated mankind, and this
[nature] is His religion: in other words, adhere to it. There is no changing God’s
creation, His religion, that is to say, do not change it by becoming idolaters.
That is the upright religion, the belief in God’s Oneness, but most people,
namely, the Meccan disbelievers, do not know, [anything of] God’s Oneness —

factions, sects divided over this [matter], each party, among them, rejoicing,
delighting, in what they have (a variant reading [for farraqū] is fāraqū, in

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And

arrogance. But if some evil, some hardship, befalls them for what their own
hands have sent ahead, behold! they despair, of mercy. It is in the nature of a
believer to give thanks in times of grace and to hope [for mercy] from his Lord
in times of hardship.

is referred to by the same noun denoting that [illicit] ‘extra’ (ziyāda)
requested in the [financial] transaction — that it may increase the wealth of
the people, giving it, does not increase with God — there is no reward in it
for those who give it. But what you give as alms (zakāt), as voluntary alms (sadaqa),
seeking, thereby, God’s Countenance, such [of you who do so] — they are the
receivers of manifold increase, in their reward for what they sought (there is
here a shift of address away from the second person).

layaqoolanna allatheena kafarooin antum illa mubtiloon
Translation
And
We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of]
example. But, [O Muhammad], if you should bring them a sign, the disbelievers
will surely say, "You [believers] are but falsifiers."
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
verily We have struck, We have coined, for mankind in this Qur’ān every [kind
of] similitude, as a way of cautioning them. And if (wa-la-in, the lām is for
oaths) you, O Muhammad (s), were to bring them a [miraculous] sign, such as the
staff or the hand in the case of Moses, those who disbelieve, from among them,
will certainly say (la-yaqūlanna: the indicative nūn has been omitted because
of the other nūn coming after it, and likewise the wāw [replaced by the damma
in lu], because of two unvocalised consonants coming together and it indicates
the plural person), ‘You — in other words, Muhammad (s) and his Companions —
are nothing but followers of falsehood’.

does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not know.

Thus
does God seal the hearts of those who do not know, [anything of] God’s Oneness,

individuals].

Translation
So
be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And let them not disquiet
you who are not certain [in faith].
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
So
be patient. Surely God’s promise, to give you victory over them, is true. And
do not let them cause you to be inconstant, those who are uncertain, of the
Resurrection, in other words, do not let them cause you to succumb to
inconstancy and frivolity by abandoning patience, that is to say, do not
abandon it.
