The Holy Quran 59:2 — Surah Al-Hashr

Arabic text

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن دِيَـٰرِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ ٱلْحَشْرِ ۚ مَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن يَخْرُجُوا۟ ۖ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ فَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا۟ ۖ وَقَذَفَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعْبَ ۚ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُم بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَيْدِى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَٱعْتَبِرُوا۟ يَـٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ

Translation

It was He who removed (expelled) the Kuffaar from among the People of the Book (the Jewish Banu Nadheer tribe) from their homes (in Madinah) for the first exile (when they attempted to assassinate Rasulullaah ﷺ. After being banished from Madinah, they proceeded to live in Khaybar). You (Muslims) never thought that they (the Jews) would emerge (from their fortresses to surrender) and they thought that their fortresses would save them from Allaah, but Allaah's grasp came to them from where they never expected. (Being well-equipped and wealthy, the Jews did not expect that they would be defeated by the Muslims who were not as wealthy or as well-equipped as them.) Allaah cast terror (for the Muslims) into their hearts (the hearts of the Jews) and (when they prepared to leave Madinah,) they uprooted (took down) their homes with their own hands (to take with them as much as they could carry) and with the hands of the Mu'mineen (who assisted them to leave). So take heed, O people with insight! (Keep in mind that those who oppose Allaah and Rasulullaah ﷺ are humiliated even in this world.)
