What does the Qur'an say about repelling evil with good?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 41:34 The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better - then lo, he between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he were a bosom friend. In because it is the fullest form and the only one that states an outcome, and the outcome is a changed relationship rather than a reward.
  2. 02 23:96 Repel evil with that which is better. We are best aware of that which they allege. In because it is the bare imperative, and because the second clause hands the assessment of the wrong to God rather than to the person wronged.
  3. 03 28:54 These will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast and repel evil with good, and spend of what We have provided. In because it attaches a doubled reward and lists the practice beside steadfastness and spending.
  4. 04 5:100 The evil and the good are not alike, even though the plenty of the evil attract thee. In because it states the premise the instruction rests on, and concedes that the evil may look the more abundant.
  5. 05 40:58 The blind man and the seer are not equal, neither are those who believe and do good works (equal with) the evil-doer. Little do ye reflect. In because it repeats the not-alike formula in a different image and closes by naming the difficulty as one of reflection.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

Five verses, and 41:34 is the one that carries the idea to its end.

Most of what a search returns here is about REWARD for good deeds, or about warding off evil in the sense of piety. Eight such verses are recorded as drops. The question asks about something narrower and stranger: answering a wrong with a kindness.

41:34 states it and then says what it is for. Repel the evil deed with one which is better - and the man who was your enemy becomes as though he were a close friend. The verse offers a result in this world, between two people, and it is the only one here that does.

23:96 gives the instruction stripped bare, and then adds a clause that changes its weight: We are best aware of what they allege. The person wronged is relieved of the job of assessing the wrong.

5:100 and 40:58 supply the premise both instructions rest on - the good and the evil are not alike - and 5:100 concedes something worth noticing: even though the plenty of the evil attract thee. The text does not claim the good will look better.

28:54 attaches a doubled reward, and puts the practice in company: steadfastness, and spending.

None of these verses says a wrong may not be answered. Retaliation and its limits (qisas) are taken up by the study What does the Qur'an say about retaliation and its limits (qisas)?, and this study should be read against it rather than in place of it.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 41:34, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ): „Nevienoda yra Al-Khabis (visa, kas yra nuodėminga ir bloga iš daiktų, poelgių, įsitikinimų, žmonių ir maisto) ir At-Taijib (visa, kas yra gera iš daiktų, poelgių, įsitikinimų, žmonių ir maisto), nors Al-Khabis gausa gali jums patikti.“ Taigi bijokite Allaho [18], suprantantys žmonės, tam, kad jūs būtumėte sėkmingi.

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 41:34, 23:96, 28:54, 5:100, 40:58, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - repel + evil + better; repel + evil + good; turn + away + evil + better; avert + evil + good; good + evil + not + equal; requite + evil + good; ward + off + better. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

What was returned and not carried. 8 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried, rather than silently discarded: 6:157 - reason not recorded; 6:160 - reason not recorded; 7:169 - reason not recorded; 12:57 - reason not recorded; 12:109 - matched on better; the subject is historical warning; 16:30 - reason not recorded; 25:15 - the same taqwa sense; 40:40 - reason not recorded.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.

tafsir

Commentary on the Qur'an: the works in which scholars interpret and explain its verses.

hadith

A report that claims to preserve something the Prophet Muhammad said or did.

A note by the AALAMIN editors. The definition is their own wording, not quoted from a reference work. It follows the platform's standing distinction: the sunnah is the practice, and a hadith is a report claiming to preserve it.

asbab al-nuzul

Accounts of the circumstances in which particular verses of the Qur'an are reported to have been revealed ("occasion of revelation").
