You will never find a people who ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day loyal to those who defy Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their parents, children, siblings, or extended family. For those ˹believers˺, Allah has instilled faith in their hearts and strengthened them with a spirit from Him.1 He will admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah. Indeed, Allah’s party is bound to succeed.

59. Al-HashrThe Exile

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

59:1

Glorifies[to] Allahwhatever(is) inthe heavensﱿand whatever(is) inﲁﲂthe earthAnd He(is) the All-Mightythe All-Wise(1)

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

59:2

He is the One Who expelled the disbelievers of the People of the Book from their homes for ˹their˺ first banishment ˹ever˺. You never thought they would go. And they thought their strongholds would put them out of Allah’s reach. But ˹the decree of˺ Allah came upon them from where they never expected. And He cast horror into their hearts so they destroyed their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers.1 So take a lesson ˹from this˺, O  people of insight!

59:3

And if not[that](had) decreedAllahfor themthe exilecertainly He (would) have punished theminﲼﲽthe worldand for themﲿinthe Hereafter(is) a punishment(of) the Fire(3)

Had Allah not decreed exile for them, He would have certainly punished them in this world. And in the Hereafter they will suffer the punishment of the Fire.
