Translation of Verse 57-70

57. As for those who believe and do good, We will admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. There they will have pure spouses, 207 and We will place them under a vast shade.

58. Indeed, Allah commands you to return trusts to their rightful owners; 208 and when you judge between people, judge with fairness. What a noble commandment from Allah to you! Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

59. O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest resolution.

60. Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who claim they believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you?

61. When it is said to them, "Come to Allah's revelations and to the Messenger," you see the hypocrites turn away from you stubbornly.

62. How ˹horrible˺ will it be if a disaster strikes them because of what their hands have done, then they come to you swearing by Allah, "We intended nothing but goodwill and reconciliation."

63. ˹Only˺ Allah knows what is in their hearts. So turn away from them, caution them, and give them advice that will shake their very souls.

64. We only sent messengers to be obeyed by Allah's Will. If only those ˹hypocrites˺ came to you ˹O Prophet˺-after wronging themselves-seeking Allah's forgiveness and the Messenger prayed for their forgiveness, they would have certainly found Allah ever Accepting of Repentance, Most Merciful.

65. But no! By your Lord, they will never be ˹true˺ believers until they accept you ˹O Prophet˺ as the judge in their disputes, and find no resistance within themselves against your decision and submit wholeheartedly.

66. If We had commanded them to sacrifice themselves or abandon their homes, none would have obeyed except for a few. Had they done what they were advised to do, 209 it would have certainly been far better for them and more reassuring,

67. and We would have granted them a great reward by Our grace

68. and guided them to the Straight Path.

69. And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous-what honourable company!

70. This is Allah's favour, and Allah fully knows ˹who deserves it˺.


Commentary

207. See footnote for 2:25.

208. This verse was revealed right after Mecca had peacefully surrendered to the Muslims. 'Ali ibn Abi Ṭâlib, the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, took the Ka'bah's key by force from Othmân ibn Ṭalḥa, the non-Muslim keeper of the Ka'bah. The verse was revealed to the Prophet ( ﷺ ) inside the Ka'bah with the order to give the key back to its rightful owner. He ( ﷺ ) ordered Ali to return the key to the keeper immediately along with an apology. Othmân was also promised that his family would keep the key forever. The keeper was so touched by the Quranic sense of justice that he decided to accept Islam.

209. i.e., obeying Allah and His Messenger.
