The Exile · 24 verses · Medinan

In plain wordsEditorial

An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.

Twenty-four verses on the expulsion of a tribe from Medina, their houses ruined by their own hands, and the division of what was left so that it would not circulate only among the rich. It closes on a run of the names of God, and on a mountain that would have split apart had this Qur'an been sent down upon 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.

The whole surah, verse after verse, in the language you have chosen.

It is He who evicted those who disbelieved among the People of the Book from their homes at the first mobilization.

Have you not considered those who act hypocritically? They say to their brethren who disbelieved among the People of the Book, "If you are evicted, we will leave with you, and will not obey anyone against you; and should anyone fight you, we will certainly support you." But God bears witness that they are liars.

And Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars
