Translation

EN

O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Believers, why, when it is said to you, ‘Go and fight in God’s way,’ do you feel weighed down to the ground? Do you prefer this world to the life to come? How small the enjoyment of this world is, compared with the life to come!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

O ye who believe! What aileth you that when it is said unto you: Go forth in the way of Allah, ye are bowed down to the ground with heaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the Hereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is but little in the Hereafter.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allāh, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.

Ey inananlar! Size ne oldu ki, "Allah yolunda, savaşa çıkın" dendiği zaman yere çöküp kaldınız? Oysa dünya hayatının geçimi ahirete göre pek az bir şeydir.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Ey iman edenler! Size ne oldu ki, "Allah yolunda cihada çıkın." denilince olduğunuz yere yığılıp kaldınız. Yoksa ahiretten vazgeçip dünya hayatına razı mı oldunuz? Fakat dünya hayatının zevki ahiretin yanında ancak pek az birşeydir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Ey iman edenler! Size ne oldu ki “Allah yolunda savaşa çıkın!” dendiği zaman yere çakılıp kalıyorsunuz! Dünya hayatını ahirete tercih mi ediyorsunuz! Dünya hayatının geçimliği (yararı) ahirete göre azdır.

يا أيها الذين صدَّقوا الله ورسوله وعملوا بشرعه، ما بالكم إذا قيل لكم: اخرجوا إلى الجهاد في سبيل الله لقتال أعدائكم تكاسلتم ولزمتم مساكنكم؟ هل آثرتم حظوظكم الدنيوية على نعيم الآخرة؟ فما تستمتعون به في الدنيا قليل زائل، أما نعيم الآخرة الذي أعده الله للمؤمنين المجاهدين فكثير دائم.
