47:1 Those who disbelieve and prevent others from Allah’s way, He will render their deeds void.

47:2 As for those who believe, do righteous deeds, and believe in what has been sent down to Muhammad – which is the truth from their Lord – He will absolve them of their sins and set their condition right.

47:3 That is because the disbelievers follow falsehood, whereas the believers follow the truth from their Lord. This is how Allah explains to people their comparisons[1].

47:4 When you encounter the disbelievers [in battle], strike [their] necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind the captives firmly[1]. Later [you may free them] as a favor[2] or for ransom until the war comes to an end[3]. That [is Our command], if Allah had willed, He could have subjected them to punishment, but [He ordered you to fight] to test some of you by means of others. Those who are killed in the way of Allah, He will never render their deeds void.

47:5 He will guide them, and will set their condition right,

47:6 and He will admit them to Paradise, which He has already made known to them[1].

47:7 O you who believe, if you stand up for Allah, He will help you and make your steps firm[1].

47:8 As for those who disbelieve, how wretched will be their state! And He will render their deeds void.

47:9 That is because they detest what Allah has sent down, so He rendered their deeds worthless.

47:10 Have they not traveled through the land to see what was the end of those before them? Allah destroyed them utterly[1], and a similar end awaits the disbelievers.

47:11 That is because Allah is the Protector of the believers whereas the disbelievers have no protector.
