| 95. Those of the believers who sit at home, excepting the disabled ones, and those who strive in the cause of ALLAH with their wealth and their persons, are not equal. ALLAH has exalted in rank those who strive with their wealth and their persons above those who sit at home. And to each ALLAH has promised good. And ALLAH has exalted those who strive above those who sit at home, by a great reward - 96. By degrees of excellence bestowed by HIM, and by special forgiveness and mercy. And ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful. 97. Verily, those whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging their own souls, the angels will say to them : `What were you after ?' They will say : `We were treated as weak in the land.' The angels will say, `Was not ALLAH's earth spacious enough so that you could have emigrated therein ?' It is these whose abode shall be Hell, and an evil destination it is; 98. Except such weak ones among men, women and children, as are incapable of adopting any plan or of finding any way to escape. 99. As to these, maybe ALLAH will efface their sins; for ALLAH is the Effacer of sins, the Most Forgiving. 100. And whoso emigrates from his country in the way of ALLAH will find in the earth an abundant place of refuge and plentifulness. And whoso goes forth from his home, emigrating in the cause of ALLAH and HIS Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward lies on ALLAH, and ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful, 101. And when you journey in the land, it shall be no blame on you if you shorten the Prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you trouble. Verily the disbelievers are an open enemy to you. |
