"நீங்கள் பூமியில் (மக்காவில்) சிறு தொகையினராகவும், பலஹீனர்களாகவும் இருந்த நிலையில், உங்களை (எந்த நேரத்திலும்) மனிதர்கள் இறாஞ்சிக் கொண்டு சென்று விடுவார்கள் என்று நீங்கள் பயப்பட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்த போது அவன் உங்களுக்கு (மதீனாவில்) புகலிடம் அளித்துத் தன் உதவியைக் கொண்டு உங்களை பலப்படுத்தினான் - இன்னும் பரிசுத்தமான ஆகாரங்களையும் அவன் உங்களுக்கு அளித்தான்; இவற்றை நினைவு கூர்ந்து (அவனுக்கு) நீங்கள் நன்றி செலுத்துவீர்காளாக!"

නුඹලා පොළොවේ ස්වල්ප දෙනෙකු වශයෙන් දුබලව සිටය දී ජනයා නුඹලාව ඩැහැ ගනු ඇතැයි නුඹලා බියෙන් සිටි අවස්ථාව මෙනෙහි කර බලනු. එවිට නුඹලා කෘතවේදී විය හැකිවනු පිණිස ඔහු නුඹලාට ඉඩ පහසුකම් සලසා ඔහුගේ උපකාරය තුළින් නුඹලාව ඔහු ශක්තිමත් කළේ ය. තවද යහපත් දැයින් නුඹලාට පෝෂණය කළේ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور اس حالت کو یاد کرو! جب کہ تم زمین میں قلیل تھے، کمزور شمار کئے جاتے تھے۔ اس اندیشہ میں رہتے تھے کہ تم کو لوگ نوچ کھسوٹ نہ لیں، سو اللہ نے تم کو رہنے کی جگہ دی اور تم کو اپنی نصرت سے قوت دی اور تم کو نفیس نفیس چیزیں عطا فرمائیں تاکہ تم شکر کرو۔

あなたがたは地上において少数で弱く,虐待されていた時を思いなさい。人びと(マッカの多神教徒たち)があなたがたを,うち滅ぼしてしまうのではないかと恐れた。だがかれは避難所を与えられ,御助けによりあなたがたを強くされ,また種々の清きよいものを与えられた。恐らくあなたがたは,感謝するであろう。

He ordered them to be grateful to Him, and they obeyed Him and implemented what He commanded. When the believers were still in Makkah they were few, practicing their religion in secret, oppressed, fearing that pagans, fire worshippers or Romans might kidnap them from the various parts of Allah's earth, for they were all enemies of the Muslims, especially since Muslims were few and weak.
