(59:2) He it is Who in the first assault drove forth the People of the Book
that disbelieved from their homes2 at the first gathering of forces.3
You did not believe that they would leave; while they too thought that their
fortresses would defend them against Allah.4 Then Allah came upon
them from whence they did not even imagine,5 casting such terror
into their hearts that they destroyed their homes by their own hands and their
destruction was also caused by the hands of the believers.6 So learn
a lesson from this, O you who have perceptive eyes!7

(59:7) Whatever (from the possessions of the towns people) Allah has bestowed
on His Messenger belongs to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to his kinsfolk,
and to the orphans, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer3 so that
it may not merely circulate between the rich among you.4 So accept
whatever the Messenger gives you, and refrain from whatever he forbids you.
And fear Allah: verily Allah is Most Stern in retribution.5

Hijrah) 7 having come to faith before the (arrival of the) Muhajirun
(Emigrants).They love those who have migrated to them and do not covet what
has been given them; they even prefer them above themselves though poverty be
their own lot.8 And whosoever are preserved from their own greed,
such are the ones that will prosper.9

go with you and will not listen to anyone concerning you; and if war is waged
against you, we will come to your aid.” But Allah bears witness that they are
liars.

(59:14) They will never fight against you as a body (in an open battlefield);
and if they fight against you they will fight only in fortified townships or
from behind walls. Intense is their hostility to one another. You reckon them

Lord of the Universe.”7
