6. Translation Of Verses:
Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the
Earth glorifies Allah.
And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise!. you who
7. believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?
Most hateful it is with Allah that you say
but you do not do.Indeed, Allah loves
8. those who fight in His Cause in ranks
as if they were an iron structure.Remember
when Moses(As) said unto his people: "O my people! Why do
you
9. Why do you annoy me while you know certainly that I am
the
Messenger of Allah to you?Therefore when they turned
away from the path of Truth, Allah turned their hearts away
[from the path]. And Allah guides not
10. not the people who are disobedient to Him.Remember
when Jesus (As), son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel!
Verily, I am the Messenger of Allah onto you,
11. acknowledging the Torah 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
proofs,
12. they said: "This is plain magic."And who does more wrong
than the one who forges a lie against Allah while he is
being invited to embrace the Islamic faith? And Allah
guides not the people who are wrong-doers.
13. They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths,
but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers
dislike it.It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance
14. And the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion,
although those who associate others with Allah dislike it.O
you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction
that will save you from a painful punishment?[It is that] you
believe in Allah and His Messenger
15. and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your
lives. That is best for you, if you should know.He will
forgive for you your sins and
16. admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and
pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is
the great attainment.And another [favor] that you love -
victory from Allah and an imminent conquest;
17. and give good tidings to the believers.O you who have
believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of
Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for
Allah ?
18. " The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah ." And a
faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction
disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against
their enemy, and they became dominant.
19. Important Points:
• Allah asks the muslims to feel his greatness on the sky
and the Earth.
• Allah asks his people not to tell lie, about they do not
do.
• Allah showed his love to those who do jihad.
• Allah does not show the right path to those who are
invited to islam but they continue to disbelive.
• Jihad with wealth and lives for Allah Almighty is the
way to success. And Allah will forgive the Mujahiden.
20. Virtue of Surah As Saff:
• In a Hadis from the Prophet (Pbuh) we read:
Anybody who reads the Sura e Isa (sura As Saff is
called sura Isa too), the prophet ‘Christ’ “Isa” sends
blessings for this person till he or she is alive in this
world and seeks forgiveness for him and on the day
of resurrection he is a friend with that person.
• In another hadis by Imam Baqir Alaihis salam we
read: The person who reads Sura As Saff in the
obligatory and Supererogatory (Mustahab) namaz
and continues this act. The Mighty God will place him
in the line of the angels and the messengers
