4:75

And whatfor you(that) notyou fightin(the) way(of) Allahand (for) those who are weakamongthe menand the womenand the childrenthose whosayOur Lordtake us outofthis[the] town[the] oppressor(s)(are) its peopleand appointfor usfromYourselfa protectorand appointfor usfromYourselfa helper(75)

And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, “Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.”

4:76

Those whobelievethey fightin(the) wayﱦﱧ(of) Allahand thosewho disbelievethey fightin(the) way(of) the false deitiesSo fight (against)(the) friendsﱰﱱ(of) the ShaitaanIndeed(the) strategy(of) the Shaitaanisweak(76)

Believers fight for the cause of Allah, whereas disbelievers fight for the cause of the Devil. So fight against Satan’s ˹evil˺ forces. Indeed, Satan’s schemes are ever weak.

4:77

Have notyou seen[towards]those who(when) it was saidto themRestrainﱿyour handsand establishthe prayerand givethe zakahThen whenwas ordainedon themthe fightingthena groupof them[they] fearthe peopleas (they) fearAllahormore intenseﲑﲒfearand they saidOur Lordwhyhave You ordainedupon us[the] fightingWhy notYou postpone (it for) ustoa termﲝﲞnearSayEnjoyment(of) the world(is) littleand the Hereafter(is) betterfor whoeverfears (Allah)and notyou will be wronged(even as much as) a hair on a date-seed(77)

Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who had been told, “Do not fight! Rather, establish prayer and pay alms-tax.”? Then once the order came to fight, a group of them feared those ˹hostile˺ people as Allah should be feared—or even more. They said, “Our Lord! Why have You ordered us to fight? If only You had delayed ˹the order for˺ us for a little while!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “The enjoyment of this world is so little, whereas the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. And none of you will be wronged ˹even by the width of˺ the thread of a date stone.

4:78

Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything!

4:79

Whatever good befalls you is from Allah and whatever evil befalls you is from yourself.1 We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a messenger to ˹all˺ people. And Allah is sufficient as a Witness.
