Sura 9
Aya 16
16
أَم حَسِبتُم أَن تُترَكوا وَلَمّا يَعلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ جاهَدوا مِنكُم وَلَم يَتَّخِذوا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلا رَسولِهِ وَلَا المُؤمِنينَ وَليجَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبيرٌ بِما تَعمَلونَ

Yusuf Ali

Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as though God did not know1 those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except God, His Messenger, and the (community of) Believers? But God is wellacquainted with (all) that ye do.
  • Some translators have taken a different verbal construction of this passage, but the ultimate effect in meaning is the same: we must all be tested and tried, but God knows our inmost hearts, and He will support those who strive in His way, out of sincere love for Him, His Prophet, and the body of the true men of faith.
