ٱلتَّوْبَة : ٦٦

  • لَا (Do) not
  • تَعۡتَذِرُواْ make excuse
  • قَدۡ verily
  • كَفَرۡتُم you have disbelieved
  • بَعۡدَ after
  • إِيمَٰنِكُمۡۚ your belief
  • إِن If
  • نَّعۡفُ We pardon
  • عَن [on]
  • طَآئِفَةٖ a party
  • مِّنكُمۡ of you
  • نُعَذِّبۡ We will punish
  • طَآئِفَةَۢ a party
  • بِأَنَّهُمۡ because they
  • كَانُواْ were
  • مُجۡرِمِينَ criminals
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved [i.e., rejected faith] after your belief. If We pardon one faction of you - We will punish another faction because they were criminals.
Make no excuses, for that. You have disbelieved after believing, that is, your disbelief has become manifest even as you have manifested belief. If We forgive (read passive yu'fa, 'it is forgiven', or active [first person plural] na'fu, 'We forgive') a party of you, because of its sincerity and its repentance, as in the case of Jahsh ibn Humayyir, We will chastise (read either [passive] tu'adhdhab, '[it] shall be chastised', or nu'adhdhib) another party because they were sinners', persisting in hypocrisy and mockery.
