Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
and should they come at you suddenly,
your Lord will aid you
with five thousand marked angels.
126 Allah did not appoint it but as a good news for you,
and to reassure with it your hearts,
and victory 1 comes only from Allah,
the All-mighty, the All-wise,
127 that He may cut down a section of the faithless,
or subdue them,
so that they retreat disappointed.
128 You have no hand in the matter,
whether He accepts their repentance
or punishes them,
for they are indeed wrongdoers.
129 To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens
and whatever is in the earth:
He forgives whomever He wishes
and punishes whomever He wishes,
and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
130 O you who have faith!
Do not exact usury, twofold and severalfold,
and be wary of Allah so that you may be felicitous.
131 And beware of the Fire which
has been prepared for the faithless,
132 and obey Allah and the Apostle
so that you may be granted [His] mercy.
133 And hasten towards your Lord’s forgiveness
and a paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth,
1 Or ‘help.’
