۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٰفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ
Innal laaha yudaafi' 'anil lazeena aamanoo; innal laaha laa yuhibbu kulla khawwaanin kafoor
خدا تو مومنوں سے ان کے دشمنوں کو ہٹاتا رہتا ہے۔ بےشک خدا کسی خیانت کرنے والے اور کفران نعمت کرنے والے کو دوست نہیں رکھتا۔
Indeed, God defends those who believe. Indeed, God does not love anyone treacherous and ungrateful.
God's own defending is announced first, and only in the next verse does permission reach the people being attacked, so what follows is framed as joining something already underway. Yudāfiʿu is the form for a sustained warding-off pressed against a steady pressure. Both words in the second half are intensives, naming habitual treachery and settled ingratitude rather than a single act.
