Translation of Verse 249-253

249. When Saul marched forth with his army, he cautioned: "Allah will test you with a river. So whoever drinks ˹his fill˺ from it is not with me, and whoever does not taste it-except a sip from the hollow of his hands-is definitely with me." They all drank ˹their fill˺ except for a few! When he and the ˹remaining˺ faithful with him crossed the river, they said, "Now we are no match for Goliath and his warriors." But those ˹believers˺ who were certain they would meet Allah reasoned, "How many times has a small force vanquished a mighty army by the Will of Allah! And Allah is ˹always˺ with the steadfast."

250. When they advanced to face Goliath and his warriors, they prayed, "Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, make our steps firm, and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

251. So they defeated them by Allah's Will, and David killed Goliath. And Allah blessed David with kingship and wisdom and taught him what He willed. Had Allah not repelled a group of people by ˹the might of˺ another, corruption would have dominated the earth, but Allah is Gracious to all.

252. These are Allah's revelations which We recite to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth. And you are truly one of the messengers.

253. We have chosen some of those messengers above others. 107 Allah spoke directly to some, and raised some high in rank. To Jesus, son of Mary, We gave clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit. 108 If Allah had willed, succeeding generations would not have fought ˹among themselves˺ after receiving the clear proofs. But they differed-some believed while others disbelieved. Yet if Allah had willed, they would not have fought one another. But Allah does what He wills.


Commentary
