> Surah 61
> 
> Al Saff (The Battle Array)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 1.  Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, let it declare the Praises and Glory of Allah: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
> 
> 2.  O ye who believe! why say ye that which ye do not?
> 
> 3.  Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.
> 
> 4.  Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.
> 
> 5.  And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do ye vex and insult me, though ye know that I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you?"  Then when they went wrong, Allah let their hearts go wrong: for Allah guides not those who are rebellious transgressors.
> 
> 6.  And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel!  I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad."  But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "This is evident sorcery!"
> 
> 7.  Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against Allah, even as he is being invited to Islam?  And Allah guides not those who do wrong.
> 
> 8.  Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: but Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
> 
> 9.  It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
> 
> 10.  O ye who believe! shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?--
> 
> 11.  That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: that will be best for you, if ye but knew!
> 
> 12.  He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the supreme Achievement.
> 
> 13.  And another (favor will He bestow), which ye do love--help from Allah and a speedy victory: so give the Glad Tidings to the Believers.
> 
> 14.  O ye who believe! be ye helpers of Allah: as said Jesus, the son of Mary, to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?"  Said the Disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!"  Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: but We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.
