Chapter 61 : As-Saff – 14 Verses

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

61:1

All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah. He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

61:2

O believers! Why do you say something which you don’t do?

61:3

61:4

61:5

And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: “O my people! Why do you hurt me while you know certainly that I am the Messenger of Allah to you?

61:6

And remember when Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam said: “O children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah towards you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and to give you good news of a Messenger that will come after me whose name shall be Ahmed (another name of Muhammad, meaning ‘The praised one’).” But when he (Muhammad) came to them with clear signs, they said “This is plain magic.”

61:7

It is He who sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it.

Dwelling: a house, or other place of residence.
Eternity: endless life after death.

61:13

And yet another blessing which you love: help from Allah and a speedy victory. So O Prophet, give this good news to the believers.

61:14

O believers! Be the helpers of Allah, just as Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam said to his disciples: “Who will be my helper in the cause of Allah?” And the disciples responded: “We will be your helpers in the cause of Allah.” Then a group from the children of Israel believed in him (Isa) and another group disbelieved. We aided the believers against their enemies, so they became victorious.
