Sura 59 Al-Hashr (The Exile), ayah 2

  1. هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ ۚ مَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا ۖ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مَانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا ۖ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ ۚ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاعْتَبِرُوا يَا أُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ

    Translation by words

    هُوَ
    He
    ٱلَّذِىٓ
    (is) the One Who
    أَخْرَجَ
    expelled
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    كَفَرُوا۟
    disbelieved
    مِنْ
    from
    أَهْلِ
    (the) People
    ٱلْكِتَٰبِ
    (of) the Scripture
    مِن
    from
    دِيَٰرِهِمْ
    their homes
    لِأَوَّلِ
    at (the) first
    ٱلْحَشْرِ
    gathering.
    مَا
    Not
    ظَنَنتُمْ
    you think
    أَن
    that
    يَخْرُجُوا۟
    they would leave,
    وَظَنُّوٓا۟
    and they thought
    أَنَّهُم
    that [they]
    مَّانِعَتُهُمْ
    would defend them
    حُصُونُهُم
    their fortresses
    مِّنَ
    against
    ٱللَّهِ
    Allah.
    فَأَتَىٰهُمُ
    But came to them
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah
    مِنْ
    from
    حَيْثُ
    where
    لَمْ
    not
    يَحْتَسِبُوا۟
    they expected,
    وَقَذَفَ
    and He cast
    فِى
    into
    قُلُوبِهِمُ
    their hearts
    ٱلرُّعْبَ
    [the] terror,
    يُخْرِبُونَ
    they destroyed
    بُيُوتَهُم
    their houses
    بِأَيْدِيهِمْ
    with their hands
    وَأَيْدِى
    and the hands
    ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
    (of) the believers.
    فَٱعْتَبِرُوا۟
    So take a lesson,
    يَٰٓأُو۟لِى
    O those endowed
    ٱلْأَبْصَٰرِ
    (with) insight!

    It is He who expelled the ones who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah; but (the decree of) Allah came upon them from where they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts (so) they destroyed their houses by their (own) hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O people of vision.
