in spite of his love (for it)
freeing the necks (slaves)
and those who are patient
the (freeing of) the necks,
surely, He could have taken retribution
It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.
Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah, and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
你们把自己的脸转向东方和西方,都不是正义。正义是信真主,信末日,信天神,信天经,信先知,并将所爱的财产施济亲戚、孤儿、贫民、旅客、乞丐和赎取奴隶,并谨守拜功,完纳天课,履行约言,忍受穷困、患难和战争。这等人,确是忠贞的;这等人,确是敬畏的。
赈款只归于贫穷者、赤贫者、管理赈务者、心被团结者、无力赎身者、不能还债者、为主道工作者、途中穷困者;这是真主的定制。真主是全知的,是至睿的。
你们在战场上遇到不信道者的时候,应当斩杀他们,你们既战胜他们,就应当俘虏他们;以后或释放他们,或准许他们赎身,直到战争放下他的重担。事情就是这样的,假若真主意欲,他必惩治他们;但他命你们抗战,以便他以你们互相考验。为主道而阵亡者,真主绝不枉费他们的善功,
