Thalika alkitabu larayba feehi hudan lilmuttaqeen
This scripture is infallible; a beacon for the righteous;
3
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُق۪يمُونَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَۙ
Allatheena yu/minoona bilghaybiwayuqeemoona assalata wamimma razaqnahumyunfiqoon
who believe in the unseen, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) , and from our provisions **to them, they give to charity.
4
وَالَّذ۪ينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَۚ وَبِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَۜ
Wallatheena yu/minoona bimaonzila ilayka wama onzila min qablika wabil-akhiratihum yooqinoon
And they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you , and with regard to the Hereafter, they are absolutely certain.
5
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ عَلٰى هُدًى مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
Ola-ika AAala hudan minrabbihim waola-ika humu almuflihoon
These are guided by their Lord; these are the winners.
6
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَٓاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَاَنْذَرْتَهُمْ اَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Inna allatheena kafaroo sawaonAAalayhim aanthartahum am lam tunthirhum layu/minoon
As for those who disbelieve, it is the same for them; whether you warn them, or not warn them, they cannot believe.,
7
خَتَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلٰى سَمْعِهِمْۜ وَعَلٰٓى اَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌۘ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌ۟
Khatama Allahu AAala quloobihimwaAAala samAAihim waAAala absarihim ghishawatunwalahum AAathabun AAatheem
GOD seals their minds and their hearing, and their eyes are veiled. They have incurred severe retribution.
8
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِن۪ينَۢ
Wamina annasi man yaqoolu amannabiAllahi wabilyawmi al-akhiri wamahum bimu/mineen
Then there are those who say, "We believe in GOD and the Last Day," while they are not believers.
9
يُخَادِعُونَ اللّٰهَ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُواۚ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ اِلَّٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَۜ
YukhadiAAoona Allaha wallatheenaamanoo wama yakhdaAAoona illa anfusahum wamayashAAuroon
In trying to deceive GOD and those who believe, they only deceive themselves without perceiving.
10
ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌۙ فَزَادَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مَرَضاًۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌۙ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ
Fee quloobihim maradun fazadahumuAllahu maradan walahum AAathabun aleemun bimakanoo yakthiboon
In their minds there is a disease. Consequently, GOD augments their disease. They have incurred a painful retribution for their lying.
11
وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْاَرْضِۙ قَالُٓوا اِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ
Wa-itha qeela lahum latufsidoo fee al-ardi qaloo innama nahnumuslihoon
When they are told, "Do not commit evil," they say, "But we are righteous."
12
اَلَٓا اِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلٰكِنْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Ala innahum humu almufsidoona walakinla yashAAuroon
In fact, they are evildoers, but they do not perceive.
13
وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمْ اٰمِنُوا كَمَٓا اٰمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُٓوا اَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَٓا اٰمَنَ السُّفَـهَٓاءُۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَـهَٓاءُ وَلٰكِنْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Wa-itha qeela lahum aminoo kamaamana annasu qaloo anu/minu kamaamana assufahao ala innahum humu assufahaowalakin la yaAAlamoon
When they are told, "Believe like the people who believed," they say, "Shall we believe like the fools who believed?" In fact, it is they who are fools, but they do not know.
14
وَاِذَا لَقُوا الَّذٖينَ اٰمَنُوا قَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّاۚ وَاِذَا خَلَوْا اِلٰى شَيَاطٖينِهِمْۙ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا مَعَكُمْۙ اِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ
Wa-itha laqoo allatheena amanooqaloo amanna wa-itha khalaw ilashayateenihim qaloo inna maAAakum innamanahnu mustahzi-oon
When they meet the believers, they say, "We believe," but when alone with their devils, they say, "We are with you; we were only mocking."
15
اَللّٰهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ ف۪ي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
Allahu yastahzi-o bihim wayamudduhumfee tughyanihim yaAAmahoon
GOD mocks them, and leads them on in their transgressions, blundering.
16
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدٰىۖ فَمَا رَبِحَتْ تِجَارَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَد۪ينَ
Ola-ika allatheena ishtarawooaddalalata bilhuda famarabihat tijaratuhum wama kanoomuhtadeen
It is they who bought the straying, at the expense of guidance. Such trade never prospers, nor do they receive any guidance.
17
مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اسْتَوْقَدَ نَاراًۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَضَٓاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ ذَهَبَ اللّٰهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ ف۪ي ظُلُمَاتٍ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ
Mathaluhum kamathali allatheeistawqada naran falamma adaat ma hawlahuthahaba Allahu binoorihim watarakahum fee thulumatinla yubsiroon
Their example is like those who start a fire, then, as it begins to shed light around them, GOD takes away their light, leaving them in darkness, unable to see.
18
صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَۙ
Summun bukmun AAumyun fahum layarjiAAoon
Deaf, dumb, and blind; they fail to return.
19
اَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ ف۪يهِ ظُلُمَاتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌۚ يَجْعَلُونَ اَصَابِعَهُمْ ف۪ٓي اٰذَانِهِمْ مِنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِۜ وَاللّٰهُ مُح۪يطٌ بِالْكَافِر۪ينَ
Aw kasayyibin mina assama-ifeehi thulumatun waraAAdun wabarqunyajAAaloona asabiAAahum fee athanihim mina assawaAAiqihathara almawti wallahu muheetunbilkafireen
Another example: a rainstorm from the sky in which there is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears, to evade death. GOD is fully aware of the disbelievers.
20
يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ اَبْصَارَهُمْۜ كُلَّمَٓا اَضَٓاءَ لَهُمْ مَشَوْا ف۪يهِۙ وَاِذَٓا اَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُواۜ وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَاَبْصَارِهِمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ۟
Yakadu albarqu yakhtafu absarahumkullama adaa lahum mashaw feehi wa-itha athlamaAAalayhim qamoo walaw shaa Allahu lathahababisamAAihim waabsarihim inna Allaha AAalakulli shay-in qadeer
The lightning almost snatches away their eyesight. When it lights for them, they move forward, and when it turns dark, they stand still. If GOD wills, He can take away their hearing and their eyesight. GOD is Omnipotent.
21
يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَۙ
Ya ayyuha annasuoAAbudoo rabbakumu allathee khalaqakum wallatheenamin qablikum laAAallakum tattaqoon
O people, worship only your Lord - the One who created you and those before you - that you may be saved.
22
اَلَّذ۪ي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ فِرَاشاً وَالسَّمَٓاءَ بِنَٓاءًۖ وَاَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَاَخْرَجَ بِه۪ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ رِزْقاً لَكُمْۚ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَاداً وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Allathee jaAAala lakumu al-ardafirashan wassamaa binaan waanzalamina assama-i maan faakhraja bihi mina aththamaratirizqan lakum fala tajAAaloo lillahi andadanwaantum taAAlamoon
The One who made the earth habitable for you, and the sky a structure. He sends down from the sky water, to produce all kinds of fruits for your sustenance. You shall not set up idols to rival GOD, now that you know.
23
وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ ف۪ي رَيْبٍ مِمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلٰى عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِنْ مِثْلِه۪ۖ وَادْعُوا شُهَدَٓاءَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
Wa-in kuntum fee raybin mimma nazzalnaAAala AAabdina fa/too bisooratin min mithlihi wadAAooshuhadaakum min dooni Allahi in kuntum sadiqeen
If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our servant, then produce one sura like these, and call upon your own witnesses against GOD, if you are truthful.,
24
فَاِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا وَلَنْ تَفْعَلُوا فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّت۪ي وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُۚ اُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ
Fa-in lam tafAAaloo walan tafAAaloo fattaqooannara allatee waqooduha annasuwalhijaratu oAAiddat lilkafireen
If you cannot do this - and you can never do this - then beware of the Hellfire, whose fuel is people and rocks; it awaits the disbelievers.
25
وَبَشِّرِ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۜ كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوا مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَمَرَةٍ رِزْقاًۙ قَالُوا هٰذَا الَّذ۪ي رُزِقْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَاُتُوا بِه۪ مُتَشَابِهاًۜ وَلَهُمْ ف۪يهَٓا اَزْوَاجٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ وَهُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ

Give good news to those who believe and lead a righteous life that they will have gardens with flowing streams. When provided with a provision of fruits therein, they will say, "This is what was provided for us previously." Thus, they are given allegorical descriptions. They will have pure spouses therein, and they abide therein forever.
26
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَسْتَحْـي۪ٓ اَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَاۜ فَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَٓا اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِهٰذَا مَثَلاًۢ يُضِلُّ بِه۪ كَث۪يراً وَيَهْد۪ي بِه۪ كَث۪يراًۜ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِه۪ٓ اِلَّا الْفَاسِق۪ينَۙ

GOD does not shy away from citing any kind of allegory , from the tiny mosquito and greater. As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did GOD mean by such an allegory?" He misleads many thereby, and guides many thereby. But He never misleads thereby except the wicked,
27
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ م۪يثَاقِه۪ۖ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَٓا اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِه۪ٓ اَنْ يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
Allatheena yanqudoona AAahdaAllahi min baAAdi meethaqihi wayaqtaAAoona maamara Allahu bihi an yoosala wayufsidoona fee al-ardiola-ika humu alkhasiroon
who violate GOD's covenant after pledging to uphold it, sever what GOD has commanded to be joined, and commit evil. These are the losers. Two Deaths and Two Lives for the Disbelievers*
28
كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَكُنْتُمْ اَمْوَاتاً فَاَحْيَاكُمْۚ ثُمَّ يُم۪يتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْي۪يكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Kayfa takfuroona billahiwakuntum amwatan faahyakum thumma yumeetukumthumma yuhyeekum thumma ilayhi turjaAAoon
How can you disbelieve in GOD when you were dead and He gave you life, then He puts you to death, then He brings you back to life, then to Him you ultimately return?,
29
هُوَ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ جَم۪يعاً ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰٓى اِلَى السَّمَٓاءِ فَسَوّٰيهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوَاتٍۜ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ۟
Huwa allathee khalaqa lakum mafee al-ardi jameeAAan thumma istawa ila assama-ifasawwahunna sabAAa samawatin wahuwa bikullishay-in AAaleem
He is the One who created for you everything on earth, then turned to the sky and perfected seven universes therein, and He is fully aware of all things.
30
وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اِنّ۪ي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْاَرْضِ خَل۪يفَةًۜ قَالُٓوا اَتَجْعَلُ ف۪يهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ ف۪يهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَٓاءَۚ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَۜ قَالَ اِنّ۪ٓي اَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Recall that your Lord said to the angels, "I am placing a representative (a temporary god) on Earth." They said, "Will You place therein one who will spread evil therein and shed blood, while we sing Your praises, glorify You, and uphold Your absolute authority?" He said, "I know what you do not know."
31
وَعَلَّمَ اٰدَمَ الْاَسْمَٓاءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ فَقَالَ اَنْبِؤُ۫ن۪ي بِاَسْمَٓاءِ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
WaAAallama adama al-asmaakullaha thumma AAaradahum AAala almala-ikatifaqala anbi-oonee bi-asma-i haola-iin kuntum sadiqeen
He taught Adam all the names then presented them to the angels, saying, "Give me the names of these, if you are right.",
32
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَٓا اِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَاۜ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَل۪يمُ الْحَك۪يمُ
Qaloo subhanaka laAAilma lana illa ma AAallamtanainnaka anta alAAaleemu alhakeem
They said, "Be You glorified, we have no knowledge, except that which You have taught us. You are the Omniscient, Most Wise."
33
قَالَ يَٓا اٰدَمُ اَنْبِئْهُمْ بِاَسْمَٓائِهِمْۚ فَلَمَّٓا اَنْبَاَهُمْ بِاَسْمَٓائِهِمْۙ قَالَ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَكُمْ اِنّ۪ٓي اَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ

He said, "O Adam, tell them their names." When he told them their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth? I know what you declare, and what you conceal."
34
وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُٓوا اِلَّٓا اِبْل۪يسَۜ اَبٰى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِر۪ينَ
Wa-ith qulna lilmala-ikatiosjudoo li-adama fasajadoo illa ibleesa abawastakbara wakana mina alkafireen
When we said to the angels, "Fall prostrate before Adam," they fell prostrate, except Satan; he refused, was too arrogant, and a disbeliever.
35
وَقُلْنَا يَٓا اٰدَمُ اسْكُنْ اَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنْهَا رَغَداً حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَاۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ
Waqulna ya adamu oskunanta wazawjuka aljannata wakula minha raghadan haythushi/tuma wala taqraba hathihi ashshajaratafatakoona mina aththalimeen
We said, "O Adam, live with your wife in Paradise, and eat therefrom generously, as you please, but do not approach this tree, lest you sin."
36
فَاَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَنْهَا فَاَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا ف۪يهِۖ وَقُلْنَا اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۚ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ اِلٰى ح۪ينٍ

But the devil duped them, and caused their eviction therefrom. We said, "Go down as enemies of one another. On Earth shall be your habitation and provision for awhile."
37
فَتَلَقّٰٓى اٰدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ كَلِمَاتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ
Fatalaqqa adamu min rabbihikalimatin fataba AAalayhi innahu huwa attawwabuarraheem
Then, Adam received from his Lord words, whereby He redeemed him. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful.
38
قُلْنَا اهْبِطُوا مِنْهَا جَم۪يعاًۚ فَاِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنّ۪ي هُدًى فَمَنْ تَبِعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Qulna ihbitoo minhajameeAAan fa-imma ya/tiyannakum minnee hudan faman tabiAAahudaya fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon
We said, "Go down therefrom, all of you. When guidance comes to you from Me, those who follow My guidance will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
39
وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ۟
Wallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboobi-ayatina ola-ika as-habuannari hum feeha khalidoon
"As for those who disbelieve and reject our revelations, they will be dwellers of Hell, wherein they abide forever."
40

O Children of Israel, remember My favor, which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your part of the covenant, that I fulfill My part of the covenant, and reverence Me.
41
وَاٰمِنُوا بِمَٓا اَنْزَلْتُ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا مَعَكُمْ وَلَا تَكُونُٓوا اَوَّلَ كَافِرٍ بِه۪ۖ وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِاٰيَات۪ي ثَمَناً قَل۪يلاًۘ وَاِيَّايَ فَاتَّقُونِ
Waaminoo bima anzaltu musaddiqanlima maAAakum wala takoonoo awwala kafirinbihi wala tashtaroo bi-ayatee thamananqaleelan wa-iyyaya fattaqoon
You shall believe in what I have revealed herein, confirming what you have; do not be the first to reject it. Do not trade away My revelations for a cheap price, and observe Me.
42
وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Do not confound the truth with falsehood, nor shall you conceal the truth, knowingly.

You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and bow down with those who bow down.
44

Ata/muroona annasa bilbirriwatansawna anfusakum waantum tatloona alkitaba afalataAAqiloon
Do you exhort the people to be righteous, while forgetting yourselves, though you read the scripture? Do you not understand?
45

WastaAAeenoo bissabriwassalati wa-innaha lakabeeratunilla AAala alkhashiAAeen
You shall seek help through steadfastness and the Contact Prayers (Salat). This is difficult indeed, but not so for the reverent,

O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I blessed you more than any other people.
48
وَاتَّقُوا يَوْماً لَا تَجْز۪ي نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْـٔاً وَلَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ
Wattaqoo yawman la tajzeenafsun AAan nafsin shay-an wala yuqbalu minha shafaAAatunwala yu/khathu minha AAadlun wala humyunsaroon
Beware of the day when no soul can avail another soul, no intercession will be accepted, no ransom can be paid, nor can anyone be helped.
49
وَاِذْ نَجَّيْنَاكُمْ مِنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُٓوءَ الْعَذَابِ يُذَبِّحُونَ اَبْنَٓاءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَٓاءَكُمْۜ وَف۪ي ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَٓاءٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَظ۪يمٌ
Wa-ith najjaynakum min alifirAAawna yasoomoonakum soo-a alAAathabi yuthabbihoonaabnaakum wayastahyoona nisaakum wafee thalikumbalaon min rabbikum AAatheem
Recall that we saved you from Pharaoh's people who inflicted upon you the worst persecution, slaying your sons and sparing your daughters. That was an exacting test from your Lord.
50
وَاِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ الْبَحْرَ فَاَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ وَاَغْرَقْـنَٓا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَاَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ
Wa-ith faraqna bikumu albahrafaanjaynakum waaghraqna ala firAAawnawaantum tanthuroon
Recall that we parted the sea for you; we saved you and drowned Pharaoh's people before your eyes.
51
وَاِذْ وٰعَدْنَا مُوسٰٓى اَرْبَع۪ينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ وَاَنْتُمْ ظَالِمُونَ
Wa-ith waAAadna moosaarbaAAeena laylatan thumma ittakhathtumu alAAijla minbaAAdihi waantum thalimoon
Yet, when we summoned Moses for forty nights, you worshipped the calf in his absence, and turned wicked.
52
ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
Thumma AAafawna AAankum min baAAdi thalikalaAAallakum tashkuroon
Still, we pardoned you thereafter that you may be appreciative.
53
وَاِذْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَالْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
Wa-ith atayna moosaalkitaba walfurqana laAAallakum tahtadoon
Recall that we gave Moses scripture and the statute book, that you may be guided.
54
وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِه۪ يَا قَوْمِ اِنَّكُمْ ظَلَمْتُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْ بِاتِّخَاذِكُمُ الْعِجْلَ فَتُوبُٓوا اِلٰى بَارِئِكُمْ فَاقْتُلُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ بَارِئِكُمْۜ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ
Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi ya qawmi innakum thalamtumanfusakum bittikhathikumu alAAijla fatooboo ilabari-ikum faqtuloo anfusakum thalikumkhayrun lakum AAinda bari-ikum fataba AAalaykuminnahu huwa attawwabu arraheem
Recall that Moses said to his people, "O my people, you have wronged your souls by worshipping the calf. You must repent to your Creator. You shall kill your egos. This is better for you in the sight of your Creator." He did redeem you. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful.
55
وَاِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَا مُوسٰى لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتّٰى نَرَى اللّٰهَ جَهْرَةً فَاَخَذَتْكُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ
Wa-ith qultum ya moosalan nu/mina laka hatta nara Allahajahratan faakhathatkumu assaAAiqatu waantumtanthuroon
Recall that you said, "O Moses, we will not believe unless we see GOD, physically." Consequently, the lightning struck you, as you looked.
56
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوْتِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
Thumma baAAathnakum min baAAdimawtikum laAAallakum tashkuroon
We then revived you, after you had died, that you may be appreciative.
57
وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْغَمَامَ وَاَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰىۜ كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْۜ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلٰكِنْ كَانُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
Wathallalna AAalaykumualghamama waanzalna AAalaykumu almanna wassalwakuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wamathalamoona walakin kanooanfusahum yathlimoon
We shaded you with clouds (in Sinai), and sent down to you manna and quails: "Eat from the good things we provided for you." They did not hurt us (by rebelling); they only hurt their own souls.
58
وَاِذْ قُلْنَا ادْخُلُوا هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَداً وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّداً وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْۜ وَسَنَز۪يدُ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ
Wa-ith qulna odkhuloo hathihialqaryata fakuloo minha haythu shi/tum raghadan wadkhulooalbaba sujjadan waqooloo hittatun naghfirlakum khatayakum wasanazeedu almuhsineen
Recall that we said, "Enter this town, where you will find as many provisions as you like. Just enter the gate humbly, and treat the people nicely. We will then forgive your sins, and increase the reward for the pious."
59
فَبَدَّلَ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا قَوْلاً غَيْرَ الَّذ۪ي ق۪يلَ لَهُمْ فَاَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا رِجْزاً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ۟
Fabaddala allatheena thalamooqawlan ghayra allathee qeela lahum faanzalna AAalaallatheena thalamoo rijzan mina assama-ibima kanoo yafsuqoon
But the wicked among them carried out commands other than the commands given to them. Consequently, we sent down upon the transgressors condemnation from the sky, due to their wickedness.
60
وَاِذِ اسْتَسْقٰى مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِه۪ فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَۜ فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْناًۜ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَشْرَبَهُمْۜ كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا مِنْ رِزْقِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِد۪ينَ
Wa-ithi istasqa moosaliqawmihi faqulna idrib biAAasaka alhajarafanfajarat minhu ithnata AAashrata AAaynan qadAAalima kullu onasin mashrabahum kuloo washraboomin rizqi Allahi wala taAAthaw fee al-ardimufsideen
Recall that Moses sought water for his people. We said, "Strike the rock with your staff." Whereupon, twelve springs gushed out therefrom. The members of each tribe knew their own water. Eat and drink from GOD's provisions, and do not roam the earth corruptingly.
61
وَاِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَا مُوسٰى لَنْ نَصْبِرَ عَلٰى طَعَامٍ وَاحِدٍ فَادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنْبِتُ الْاَرْضُ مِنْ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّٓائِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَاۜ قَالَ اَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ الَّذ۪ي هُوَ اَدْنٰى بِالَّذ۪ي هُوَ خَيْرٌۜ اِهْبِطُوا مِصْراً فَاِنَّ لَكُمْ مَا سَاَلْتُمْۜ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ وَالْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَٓاؤُ۫ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ النَّبِيّ۪نَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّۜ ذٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ۟
Wa-ith qultum ya moosalan nasbira AAala taAAamin wahidinfadAAu lana rabbaka yukhrij lana mimmatunbitu al-ardu min baqliha waqiththa-ihawafoomiha waAAadasiha wabasaliha qalaatastabdiloona allathee huwa adna billatheehuwa khayrun ihbitoo misran fa-inna lakum masaaltum waduribat AAalayhimu aththillatu walmaskanatuwabaoo bighadabin mina Allahi thalikabi-annahum kanoo yakfuroona bi-ayati Allahiwayaqtuloona annabiyyeena bighayri alhaqqi thalikabima AAasaw wakanoo yaAAtadoon
Recall that you said, "O Moses, we can no longer tolerate one kind of food. Call upon your Lord to produce for us such earthly crops as beans, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions." He said, "Do you wish to substitute that which is inferior for that which is good? Go down to Egypt, where you can find what you asked for." They have incurred condemnation, humiliation, and disgrace, and brought upon themselves wrath from GOD. This is because they rejected GOD's revelations, and killed the prophets unjustly. This is because they disobeyed and transgressed.
62
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَالَّذ۪ينَ هَادُوا وَالنَّصَارٰى وَالصَّابِـ۪ٔينَ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۖ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Inna allatheena amanoo wallatheenahadoo wannasara wassabi-eenaman amana biAllahi walyawmi al-akhiriwaAAamila salihan falahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihimwala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon
Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
63
وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَۜ خُذُوا مَٓا اٰتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُوا مَا ف۪يهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
Wa-ith akhathna meethaqakumwarafaAAna fawqakumu attoora khuthooma ataynakum biquwwatin wathkurooma feehi laAAallakum tattaqoon
We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you: "You shall uphold what we have given you strongly, and remember its contents, that you may be saved."
64
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَۚ فَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لَكُنْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ
Thumma tawallaytum min baAAdi thalikafalawla fadlu Allahi AAalaykum warahmatuhulakuntum mina alkhasireen
But you turned away thereafter, and if it were not for GOD's grace towards you and His mercy, you would have been doomed.
65
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ اعْتَدَوْا مِنْكُمْ فِي السَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِـ۪ٔينَۚ
Walaqad AAalimtumu allatheenaiAAtadaw minkum fee assabti faqulna lahum koonooqiradatan khasi-een
You have known about those among you who desecrated the Sabbath. We said to them, "Be you as despicable as apes."
66
فَجَعَلْنَاهَا نَكَالاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا خَلْفَهَا وَمَوْعِظَةً لِلْمُتَّق۪ينَ
FajaAAalnaha nakalanlima bayna yadayha wama khalfahawamawAAithatan lilmuttaqeen
We set them up as an example for their generation, as well as subsequent generations, and an enlightenment for the righteous.
67
وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِه۪ٓ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ اَنْ تَذْبَحُوا بَقَرَةًۜ قَالُٓوا اَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُواًۜ قَالَ اَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ اَنْ اَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِل۪ينَ
Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi inna Allaha ya/murukum an tathbahoobaqaratan qaloo atattakhithuna huzuwan qalaaAAoothu biAllahi an akoona mina aljahileen
Moses said to his people, "GOD commands you to sacrifice a heifer." They said, "Are you mocking us?" He said, "GOD forbid, that I should behave like the ignorant ones."
68
قَالُوا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا مَا هِيَۜ قَالَ اِنَّهُ يَقُولُ اِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَا فَارِضٌ وَلَا بِكْرٌۜ عَوَانٌ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَۜ فَافْعَلُوا مَا تُؤْمَرُونَ
Qaloo odAAu lana rabbakayubayyin lana ma hiya qala innahu yaqooluinnaha baqaratun la faridun walabikrun AAawanun bayna thalika fafAAaloo matu/maroon
They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us which one." He said, "He says that she is a heifer that is neither too old, nor too young; of an intermediate age. Now, carry out what you are commanded to do."
69
قَالُوا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا مَا لَوْنُهَاۜ قَالَ اِنَّهُ يَقُولُ اِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ صَفْرَٓاءُۙ فَاقِعٌ لَوْنُهَا تَسُرُّ النَّاظِر۪ينَ
Qaloo odAAu lana rabbakayubayyin lana ma lawnuha qala innahuyaqoolu innaha baqaratun safrao faqiAAunlawnuha tasurru annathireen
They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us her color." He said, "He says that she is a yellow heifer, bright colored, pleases the beholders."
70
قَالُوا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا مَا هِيَۙ اِنَّ الْبَقَرَ تَشَابَهَ عَلَيْنَاۜ وَاِنَّٓا اِنْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ لَمُهْتَدُونَ
Qaloo odAAu lana rabbakayubayyin lana ma hiya inna albaqara tashabahaAAalayna wa-inna in shaa Allahulamuhtadoon
They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us which one. The heifers look alike to us and, GOD willing, we will be guided."
71
قَالَ اِنَّهُ يَقُولُ اِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَا ذَلُولٌ تُث۪يرُ الْاَرْضَ وَلَا تَسْقِي الْحَرْثَۚ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لَا شِيَةَ ف۪يهَاۜ قَالُوا الْـٰٔنَ جِئْتَ بِالْحَقِّۜ فَذَبَحُوهَا وَمَا كَادُوا يَفْعَلُونَ۟
Qala innahu yaqoolu innahabaqaratun la thaloolun tutheeru al-arda walatasqee alhartha musallamatun la shiyata feehaqaloo al-ana ji/ta bilhaqqi fathabahoohawama kadoo yafAAaloon
He said, "He says that she is a heifer that was never humiliated in plowing the land or watering the crops; free from any blemish." They said, "Now you have brought the truth." They finally sacrificed her, after this lengthy reluctance.
72
وَاِذْ قَتَلْتُمْ نَفْساً فَادّٰرَءْتُمْ ف۪يهَاۜ وَاللّٰهُ مُخْرِجٌ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَۚ
Wa-ith qataltum nafsan faddara/tumfeeha wallahu mukhrijun ma kuntumtaktumoon
You had killed a soul, then disputed among yourselves. GOD was to expose what you tried to conceal.
73
فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبُوهُ بِبَعْضِهَاۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُحْـيِ اللّٰهُ الْمَوْتٰى وَيُر۪يكُمْ اٰيَاتِه۪ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
Faqulna idriboohu bibaAAdihakathalika yuhyee Allahu almawtawayureekum ayatihi laAAallakum taAAqiloon
We said, "Strike (the victim) with part (of the heifer)." That is when GOD brought the victim back to life, and showed you His signs, that you may understand.
74
ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ فَهِيَ كَالْحِجَارَةِ اَوْ اَشَدُّ قَسْوَةًۜ وَاِنَّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ الْاَنْهَارُۜ وَاِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَٓاءُۜ وَاِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللّٰهِۜ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Despite this, your hearts hardened like rocks, or even harder. For there are rocks from which rivers gush out. Others crack and release gentle streams, and other rocks cringe out of reverence for GOD. GOD is never unaware of anything you do.
75
اَفَتَطْمَعُونَ اَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَر۪يقٌ مِنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
AfatatmaAAoona an yu/minoo lakumwaqad kana fareequn minhum yasmaAAoona kalama Allahithumma yuharrifoonahu min baAAdi ma AAaqaloohuwahum yaAAlamoon
Do you expect them to believe as you do, when some of them used to hear the word of GOD, then distort it, with full understanding thereof, and deliberately?
76
وَاِذَا لَقُوا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا قَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّاۚ وَاِذَا خَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍ قَالُٓوا اَتُحَدِّثُونَهُمْ بِمَا فَتَحَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُحَٓاجُّوكُمْ بِه۪ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْۜ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa-itha laqoo allatheena amanooqaloo amanna wa-itha khalabaAAduhum ila baAAdin qaloo atuhaddithoonahumbima fataha Allahu AAalaykum liyuhajjookumbihi AAinda rabbikum afala taAAqiloon
And when they meet the believers, they say, "We believe," but when they get together with each other, they say, "Do not inform (the believers)of the information given to you by GOD, lest you provide them with support for their argument concerning your Lord. Do you not understand?"
77
اَوَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
Awa la yaAAlamoona anna AllahayaAAlamu ma yusirroona wama yuAAlinoon
Do they not know that GOD knows everything they conceal, and everything they declare?
78
وَمِنْهُمْ اُمِّيُّونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ الْكِتَابَ اِلَّٓا اَمَانِيَّ وَاِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ
Waminhum ommiyyoona la yaAAlamoonaalkitaba illa amaniyya wa-in hum illayathunnoon
Among them are gentiles who do not know the scripture, except through hearsay, then assume that they know it.
79
فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ يَكْتُبُونَ الْكِتَابَ بِاَيْد۪يهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هٰذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا بِه۪ ثَمَناً قَل۪يلاًۜ فَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ مِمَّا كَتَبَتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ مِمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ
Fawaylun lillatheena yaktuboona alkitababi-aydeehim thumma yaqooloona hatha min AAindi Allahiliyashtaroo bihi thamanan qaleelan fawaylun lahum mimmakatabat aydeehim wawaylun lahum mimma yaksiboon
Therefore, woe to those who distort the scripture with their own hands, then say, "This is what GOD has revealed," seeking a cheap material gain. Woe to them for such distortion, and woe to them for their illicit gains.
80
وَقَالُوا لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ اِلَّٓا اَيَّاماً مَعْدُودَةًۜ قُلْ اَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَهْداً فَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللّٰهُ عَهْدَهُٓ اَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Waqaloo lan tamassana annaruilla ayyaman maAAdoodatan qul attakhathtumAAinda Allahi AAahdan falan yukhlifa AllahuAAahdahu am taqooloona AAala Allahi ma lataAAlamoon
Some have said, "Hell will not touch us, except for a limited number of days." Say, "Have you taken such a pledge from GOD - GOD never breaks His pledge - or, are you saying about GOD what you do not know?"
81
بَلٰى مَنْ كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَاَحَاطَتْ بِه۪ خَط۪ٓيـَٔتُهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ
Bala man kasaba sayyi-atan waahatatbihi khatee-atuhu faola-ika as-habu annarihum feeha khalidoon
Indeed, those who earn sins and become surrounded by their evil work will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.
82
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ۟
Wallatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati ola-ika as-habualjannati hum feeha khalidoon
As for those who believe, and lead a righteous life, they will be the dwellers of Paradise; they abide in it forever.
83
وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسَاناً وَذِي الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتَامٰى وَالْمَسَاك۪ينِ وَقُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْناً وَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَۜ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ اِلَّا قَل۪يلاً مِنْكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: "You shall not worship except GOD. You shall honor your parents and regard the relatives, the orphans, and the poor. You shall treat the people amicably. You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat)." But you turned away, except a few of you, and you became averse.
84
وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَكُمْ لَا تَسْفِكُونَ دِمَٓاءَكُمْ وَلَا تُخْرِجُونَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ ثُمَّ اَقْرَرْتُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ
Wa-ith akhathna meethaqakumla tasfikoona dimaakum wala tukhrijoonaanfusakum min diyarikum thumma aqrartum waantum tashhadoon
We made a covenant with you, that you shall not shed your blood, nor shall you evict each other from your homes. You agreed and bore witness.
85
ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ تَقْتُلُونَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتُخْرِجُونَ فَر۪يقاً مِنْكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْۘ تَظَاهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِۜ وَاِنْ يَأْتُوكُمْ اُسَارٰى تُفَادُوهُمْ وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ اِخْرَاجُهُمْۜ اَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍۚ فَمَا جَزَٓاءُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ اِلَّا خِزْيٌ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَاۚ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يُرَدُّونَ اِلٰٓى اَشَدِّ الْعَذَابِۜ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
Thumma antum haola-itaqtuloona anfusakum watukhrijoona fareeqan minkum min diyarihimtathaharoona AAalayhim bil-ithmi walAAudwaniwa-in ya/tookum osara tufadoohum wahuwa muharramunAAalaykum ikhrajuhum afatu/minoona bibaAAdi alkitabiwatakfuroona bibaAAdin fama jazao manyafAAalu thalika minkum illa khizyun fee alhayatiaddunya wayawma alqiyamati yuraddoona ilaashaddi alAAathabi wama Allahu bighafilinAAamma taAAmaloon
Yet, here you are killing each other, and evicting some of you from their homes, banding against them sinfully and maliciously. Even when they surrendered, you demanded ransom from them. Evicting them was prohibited for you in the first place. Do you believe in part of the scripture and disbelieve in part? What should be the retribution for those among you who do this, except humiliation in this life, and a far worse retribution on the Day of Resurrection? GOD is never unaware of anything you do.
86
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ اشْتَرَوُا الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْ يَا بِالْاٰخِرَةِۘ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ۟
Ola-ika allatheena ishtarawooalhayata addunya bil-akhiratifala yukhaffafu AAanhumu alAAathabu wala humyunsaroon
It is they who bought this lowly life at the expense of the Hereafter. Consequently, the retribution is never commuted for them, nor can they be helped.
87
وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ بِالرُّسُلِ وَاٰتَيْنَا ع۪يسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَاَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِۜ اَفَكُلَّمَا جَٓاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰٓى اَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْۚ فَفَر۪يقاً كَذَّبْتُمْۘ وَفَر۪يقاً تَقْتُلُونَ

We gave Moses the scripture, and subsequent to him we sent other messengers, and we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not a fact that every time a messenger went to you with anything you disliked, your ego caused you to be arrogant? Some of them you rejected, and some of them you killed.
88
وَقَالُوا قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۜ بَلْ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَل۪يلاً مَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Waqaloo quloobuna ghulfun ballaAAanahumu Allahu bikufrihim faqaleelan mayu/minoon
Some would say, "Our minds are made up!" Instead, it is a curse from GOD, as a consequence of their disbelief, that keeps them from believing, except for a few of them.
89
وَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ كِتَابٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِمَا مَعَهُمْۙ وَكَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۚ فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ مَا عَرَفُوا كَفَرُوا بِه۪ۘ فَلَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الْكَافِر۪ينَ

When this scripture came to them from GOD, and even though it agrees with, and confirms what they have, and even though they used to prophesy its advent when they talked with the disbelievers, when their own prophecy came to pass, they disbelieved therein. GOD's condemnation thus afflicts the disbelievers.
90
بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْا بِه۪ٓ اَنْفُسَهُمْ اَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بَغْياً اَنْ يُنَزِّلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ عَلٰى مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ۚ فَبَٓاؤُ۫ بِغَضَبٍ عَلٰى غَضَبٍۜ وَلِلْكَافِر۪ينَ عَذَابٌ مُه۪ينٌ

Miserable indeed is what they sold their souls for - rejecting these revelations of GOD out of sheer resentment that GOD should bestow His grace upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. Consequently, they incurred wrath upon wrath. The disbelievers have incurred a humiliating retribution.
91
وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمْ اٰمِنُوا بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوا نُؤْمِنُ بِمَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَٓاءَهُ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا مَعَهُمْۜ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ اَنْبِيَٓاءَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Wa-itha qeela lahum aminoo bimaanzala Allahu qaloo nu/minu bima onzilaAAalayna wayakfuroona bima waraahu wahuwa alhaqqumusaddiqan lima maAAahum qul falima taqtuloonaanbiyaa Allahi min qablu in kuntum mu/mineen
When they are told, "You shall believe in these revelations of GOD," they say, "We believe only in what was sent down to us." Thus, they disbelieve in subsequent revelations, even if it is the truth from their Lord, and even though it confirms what they have! Say, "Why then did you kill GOD's prophets, if you were believers?"
92
وَلَقَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ مُوسٰى بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِنْ بَعْدِه۪ وَاَنْتُمْ ظَالِمُونَ
Walaqad jaakum moosa bilbayyinatithumma ittakhathtumu alAAijla min baAAdihi waantum thalimoon
Moses went to you with profound miracles, yet you worshipped the calf in his absence, and you turned wicked.
93
وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَۜ خُذُوا مَٓا اٰتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُواۜ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَاُشْرِبُوا ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْۜ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِه۪ٓ ا۪يمَانُكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you, saying, "You shall uphold the commandments we have given you, strongly, and listen." They said, "We hear, but we disobey." Their hearts became filled with adoration for the calf, due to their disbelief. Say, "Miserable indeed is what your faith dictates upon you, if you do have any faith."
94
قُلْ اِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَالِصَةً مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
Qul in kanat lakumu addarual-akhiratu AAinda Allahi khalisatanmin dooni annasi fatamannawoo almawta in kuntum sadiqeen
Say, "If the abode of the Hereafter is reserved for you at GOD, to the exclusion of all other people, then you should long for death, if you are truthful."
95
وَلَنْ يَتَمَنَّوْهُ اَبَداً بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِالظَّالِم۪ينَ
Walan yatamannawhu abadan bimaqaddamat aydeehim wallahu AAaleemun biaththalimeen
They never long for it, because of what their hands have sent forth. GOD is fully aware of the wicked.
96
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ اَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلٰى حَيٰوةٍۚ وَمِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَشْرَكُوا يَوَدُّ اَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍۚ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِه۪ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ اَنْ يُعَمَّرَۜ وَاللّٰهُ بَص۪يرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ۟

In fact, you will find them the most covetous of life; even more so than the idol worshipers. The one of them wishes to live a thousand years. But this will not spare him any retribution, no matter how long he lives. GOD is seer of everything they do.
97
قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ عَدُواًّ لِجِبْر۪يلَ فَاِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلٰى قَلْبِكَ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Qul man kana AAaduwwan lijibreelafa-innahu nazzalahu AAala qalbika bi-ithni Allahimusaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi wahudan wabushralilmu/mineen
Say, "Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this (Quran) into your heart, in accordance with GOD's will, confirming previous scriptures, and providing guidance and good news for the believers."
98
مَنْ كَانَ عَدُواًّ لِلّٰهِ وَمَلٰٓئِكَتِه۪ وَرُسُلِه۪ وَجِبْر۪يلَ وَم۪يكَالَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَدُوٌّ لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ
Man kana AAaduwwan lillahiwamala-ikatihi warusulihi wajibreela wameekalafa-inna Allaha AAaduwwun lilkafireen
Anyone who opposes GOD, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael, should know that GOD opposes the disbelievers.
99
وَلَقَدْ اَنْزَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْكَ اٰيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍۚ وَمَا يَكْفُرُ بِهَٓا اِلَّا الْفَاسِقُونَ
Walaqad anzalna ilayka ayatinbayyinatin wama yakfuru biha illa alfasiqoon
We have sent down to you such clear revelations, and only the wicked will reject them.
100
اَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُوا عَهْداً نَبَذَهُ فَر۪يقٌ مِنْهُمْۜ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Awa kullama AAahadoo AAahdannabathahu fareequn minhum bal aktharuhum layu/minoon
Is it not a fact that when they make a covenant and pledge to keep it, some of them always disregard it? In fact, most of them do not believe.
101
وَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَر۪يقٌ مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَۗ كِتَابَ اللّٰهِ وَرَٓاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَاَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Walamma jaahum rasoolun minAAindi Allahi musaddiqun lima maAAahum nabathafareequn mina allatheena ootoo alkitaba kitabaAllahi waraa thuhoorihim kaannahum layaAAlamoon
Now that a messenger from GOD has come to them, and even though he proves and confirms their own scripture, some followers of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) disregard GOD's scripture behind their backs, as if they never had any scripture.,
102
وَاتَّـبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُوا الشَّيَاط۪ينُ عَلٰى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمٰنَۚ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمٰنُ وَلٰكِنَّ الشَّيَاط۪ينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَۗ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَۜ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ اَحَدٍ حَتّٰى يَقُولَٓا اِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْۜ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِه۪ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِه۪ۜ وَمَا هُمْ بِضَٓارّ۪ينَ بِه۪ مِنْ اَحَدٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنْفَعُهُمْۜ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا لَمَنِ اشْتَرٰيهُ مَا لَهُ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ۠ وَلَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْا بِه۪ٓ اَنْفُسَهُمْۜ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

They pursued what the devils taught concerning Solomon's kingdom. Solomon, however, was not a disbeliever, but the devils were disbelievers. They taught the people sorcery, and that which was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Haroot and Maroot. These two did not divulge such knowledge without pointing out: "This is a test. You shall not abuse such knowledge." But the people used it in such evil schemes as the breaking up of marriages. They can never harm anyone against the will of GOD. They thus learn what hurts them, not what benefits them, and they know full well that whoever practices witchcraft will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed is what they sell their souls for, if they only knew.
103
وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَمَثُوبَةٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌۜ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ۟
Walaw annahum amanoo wattaqawlamathoobatun min AAindi Allahi khayrun law kanooyaAAlamoon
If they believe and lead a righteous life, the reward from GOD is far better, if they only knew.
104
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَقُولُوا رَاعِنَا وَقُولُوا انْظُرْنَا وَاسْمَعُواۜ وَلِلْكَافِر۪ينَ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola taqooloo raAAina waqooloo onthurnawasmaAAoo walilkafireena AAathabun aleem
O you who believe, do not say, "Raa'ena" (be our shepherd). Instead, you should say, "Unzurna" (watch over us), and listen. The disbelievers have incurred a painful retribution.,
105
مَا يَوَدُّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلَا الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ اَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوالْفَضْلِ الْعَظ۪يمِ
Ma yawaddu allatheena kafaroomin ahli alkitabi wala almushrikeena an yunazzalaAAalaykum min khayrin min rabbikum wallahu yakhtassubirahmatihi man yashao wallahu thooalfadli alAAatheem
Neither the disbelievers among the followers of the scripture, nor the idol worshipers, wish to see any blessings come down to you from your Lord. However, GOD showers His blessings upon whomever He chooses. GOD possesses infinite grace.
106
مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ اٰيَةٍ اَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَٓا اَوْ مِثْلِهَاۜ اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ
Ma nansakh min ayatin awnunsiha na/ti bikhayrin minha aw mithlihaalam taAAlam anna Allaha AAala kulli shay-in qadeer
When we abrogate any miracle, or cause it to be forgotten, we produce a better miracle, or at least an equal one. Do you not recognize the fact that GOD is Omnipotent?
107
اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ
Alam taAAlam anna Allaha lahu mulkuassamawati wal-ardi wamalakum min dooni Allahi min waliyyin wala naseer
Do you not recognize the fact that GOD possesses the kingship of the heavens and the earth; that you have none besides GOD as your Lord and Master?
108
اَمْ تُر۪يدُونَ اَنْ تَسْـَٔلُوا رَسُولَكُمْ كَمَا سُئِلَ مُوسٰى مِنْ قَبْلُۜ وَمَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ الْكُفْرَ بِالْا۪يمَانِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَٓاءَ السَّب۪يلِ
Am tureedoona an tas-aloo rasoolakum kamasu-ila moosa min qablu waman yatabaddali alkufra bil-eemanifaqad dalla sawaa assabeel
Do you wish to demand of your messenger what was demanded of Moses in the past? Anyone who chooses disbelief, instead of belief, has truly strayed off the right path.
109
وَدَّ كَث۪يرٌ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ا۪يمَانِكُمْ كُفَّاراًۚ حَسَداً مِنْ عِنْدِ اَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّۚ فَاعْفُوا وَاصْفَحُوا حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِه۪ۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Many followers of the scripture would rather see you revert to disbelief, now that you have believed. This is due to jealousy on their part, after the truth has become evident to them. You shall pardon them, and leave them alone, until GOD issues His judgment. GOD is Omnipotent.
110
وَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَۜ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يرٌ
Waaqeemoo assalata waatooazzakata wama tuqaddimoo li-anfusikum minkhayrin tajidoohu AAinda Allahi inna Allaha bimataAAmaloona baseer
You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat). Any good you send forth on behalf of your souls, you will find it at GOD. GOD is seer of everything you do.
111
وَقَالُوا لَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ اِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ هُوداً اَوْ نَصَارٰىۜ تِلْكَ اَمَانِيُّهُمْۜ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ
Waqaloo lan yadkhula aljannata illaman kana hoodan aw nasara tilka amaniyyuhumqul hatoo burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeen
Some have said, "No one will enter Paradise except Jews or Christians!" Such is their wishful thinking. Say, "Show us your proof, if you are right.",
112
بَلٰى مَنْ اَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُٓ اَجْرُهُ عِنْدَ رَبِّه۪ۖ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ۟
Bala man aslama wajhahu lillahiwahuwa muhsinun falahu ajruhu AAinda rabbihi walakhawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon
Indeed, those who submit themselves absolutely to GOD alone, while leading a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
113
وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ النَّصَارٰى عَلٰى شَيْءٍۖ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارٰى لَيْسَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلٰى شَيْءٍۙ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَۜ كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْۚ فَاللّٰهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ف۪يمَا كَانُوا ف۪يهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

The Jews said, "The Christians have no basis," while the Christians said, "The Jews have no basis." Yet, both of them read the scripture. Such are the utterances of those who possess no knowledge. GOD will judge them on the Day of Resurrection, regarding their disputes.
114
وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ مَنَعَ مَسَاجِدَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ يُذْكَرَ ف۪يهَا اسْمُهُ وَسَعٰى ف۪ي خَرَابِهَاۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ اَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَٓا اِلَّا خَٓائِف۪ينَۜ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْ يَا خِزْيٌ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌ

Who are more evil than those who boycott GOD's masjids, where His name is commemorated, and contribute to their desertion? These ought not to enter therein except fearfully. They will suffer in this life humiliation, and will suffer in the Hereafter a terrible retribution.
115
وَلِلّٰهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَاَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَاسِعٌ عَل۪يمٌ
Walillahi almashriqu walmaghribufaaynama tuwalloo fathamma wajhu Allahi inna AllahawasiAAun AAaleem
To GOD belongs the east and the west; wherever you go there will be the presence of GOD. GOD is Omnipresent, Omniscient.
116
وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَداًۙ سُبْحَانَهُۜ بَلْ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ كُلٌّ لَهُ قَانِتُونَ
Waqaloo itakhatha Allahuwaladan subhanahu bal lahu ma fee assamawatiwal-ardi kullun lahu qanitoon
They said, "GOD has begotten a son!" Be He glorified; never! To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; all are subservient to Him.
117
بَد۪يعُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَاِذَا قَضٰٓى اَمْراً فَاِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ

The Initiator of the heavens and the earth: to have anything done, He simply says to it, "Be," and it is.
118
وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَوْلَا يُكَلِّمُنَا اللّٰهُ اَوْ تَأْت۪ينَٓا اٰيَةٌۜ كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْۜ تَشَابَهَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْۜ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا الْاٰيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

Those who possess no knowledge say, "If only GOD could speak to us, or some miracle could come to us!" Others before them have uttered similar utterances; their minds are similar. We do manifest the miracles for those who have attained certainty.
119
اِنَّٓا اَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَش۪يراً وَنَذ۪يراًۙ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ اَصْحَابِ الْجَح۪يمِ
Inna arsalnaka bilhaqqibasheeran wanatheeran wala tus-alu Aaan as-habialjaheem
We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news, as well as a warner. You are not answerable for those who incur Hell.
120
وَلَنْ تَرْضٰى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا النَّصَارٰى حَتّٰى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْۜ قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىۜ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ بَعْدَ الَّذ۪ي جَٓاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَص۪يرٍ

Neither the Jews, nor the Christians, will accept you, unless you follow their religion. Say, "GOD's guidance is the true guidance." If you acquiesce to their wishes, despite the knowledge you have received, you will find no ally or supporter to help you against GOD.
121
اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِه۪ۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِه۪ۜ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِه۪ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ۟
Allatheena ataynahumualkitaba yatloonahu haqqa tilawatihi ola-ikayu/minoona bihi waman yakfur bihi faola-ika humu alkhasiroon
Those who received the scripture, and know it as it should be known, will believe in this. As for those who disbelieve, they are the losers.
122
يَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّت۪ٓي اَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاَنّ۪ي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَم۪ينَ
Ya banee isra-eela othkurooniAAmatiya allatee anAAamtu AAalaykum waannee faddaltukumAAala alAAalameen
O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I blessed you more than any other people.
123
وَاتَّقُوا يَوْماً لَا تَجْز۪ي نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْـٔاً وَلَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلَا تَنْفَعُهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ
Wattaqoo yawman la tajzeenafsun AAan nafsin shay-an wala yuqbalu minhaAAadlun wala tanfaAAuha shafaAAatun walahum yunsaroon
Beware of the day when no soul will help another soul, no ransom will be accepted, no intercession will be useful, and no one will be helped.
124
وَاِذِ ابْتَلٰٓى اِبْرٰه۪يمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَاَتَمَّهُنَّۜ قَالَ اِنّ۪ي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ اِمَاماًۜ قَالَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّت۪يۜ قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِم۪ينَ
Wa-ithi ibtala ibraheemarabbuhu bikalimatin faatammahunna qala innee jaAAilukalinnasi imaman qala wamin thurriyyateeqala la yanalu AAahdee aththalimeen
Recall that Abraham was put to the test by his Lord, through certain commands, and he fulfilled them. (God) said, "I am appointing you an imam for the people." He said, "And also my descendants?" He said, "My covenant does not include the transgressors."
125
وَاِذْ جَعَلْنَا الْبَيْتَ مَثَابَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَاَمْناًۜ وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ مُصَلًّىۜ وَعَهِدْنَٓا اِلٰٓى اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَاِسْمٰع۪يلَ اَنْ طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّٓائِف۪ينَ وَالْعَاكِف۪ينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ

We have rendered the shrine (the Ka'aba) a focal point for the people, and a safe sanctuary. You may use Abraham's shrine as a prayer house. We commissioned Abraham and Ismail: "You shall purify My house for those who visit, those who live there, and those who bow and prostrate."
126
وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰه۪يمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هٰذَا بَلَداً اٰمِناً وَارْزُقْ اَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ مِنْهُمْ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۜ قَالَ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاُمَتِّعُهُ قَل۪يلاً ثُمَّ اَضْطَرُّهُٓ اِلٰى عَذَابِ النَّارِۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ

Abraham prayed: "My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and provide its people with fruits. Provide for those who believe in GOD and the Last Day." (God) said, "I will also provide for those who disbelieve. I will let them enjoy, temporarily, then commit them to the retribution of Hell, and a miserable destiny."
127
وَاِذْ يَرْفَعُ اِبْرٰه۪يمُ الْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَاِسْمٰع۪يلُۜ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّاۜ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ
Wa-ith yarfaAAu ibraheemualqawaAAida mina albayti wa-ismaAAeelu rabbanataqabbal minna innaka anta assameeAAu alAAaleem
As Abraham raised the foundations of the shrine, together with Ismail (they prayed): "Our Lord, accept this from us. You are the Hearer, the Omniscient.
128
رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِنَٓا اُمَّةً مُسْلِمَةً لَكَۖ وَاَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَاۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ
Rabbana wajAAalnamuslimayni laka wamin thurriyyatina ommatanmuslimatan laka waarina manasikana watubAAalayna innaka anta attawwabu arraheem
"Our Lord, make us submitters to You, and from our descendants let there be a community of submitters to You. Teach us the rites of our religion, and redeem us. You are the Redeemer, Most Merciful.
129
رَبَّنَا وَابْعَثْ ف۪يهِمْ رَسُولاً مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتِكَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكّ۪يهِمْۜ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ۟
Rabbana wabAAath feehimrasoolan minhum yatloo AAalayhim ayatikawayuAAallimuhumu alkitaba walhikmatawayuzakkeehim innaka anta alAAazeezu alhakeem
"Our Lord, and raise among them a messenger to recite to them Your revelations, teach them the scripture and wisdom, and purify them. You are the Almighty, Most Wise."
130
وَمَنْ يَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَفِهَ نَفْسَهُۜ وَلَقَدِ اصْطَفَيْنَاهُ فِي الدُّنْ يَاۚ وَاِنَّهُ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِح۪ينَ
Waman yarghabu AAan millati ibraheemailla man safiha nafsahu walaqadi istafaynahufee addunya wa-innahu fee al-akhiratilamina assaliheen
Who would forsake the religion of Abraham, except one who fools his own soul? We have chosen him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be with the righteous.
131
اِذْ قَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُٓ اَسْلِمْۙ قَالَ اَسْلَمْتُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ
Ith qala lahu rabbuhu aslim qalaaslamtu lirabbi alAAalameen
When his Lord said to him, "Submit," he said, "I submit to the Lord of the universe."
132
وَوَصّٰى بِهَٓا اِبْرٰه۪يمُ بَن۪يهِ وَيَعْقُوبُۜ يَا بَنِيَّ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفٰى لَكُمُ الدّ۪ينَ فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ اِلَّا وَاَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَۜ
Wawassa biha ibraheemubaneehi wayaAAqoobu ya baniyya inna Allaha istafalakumu addeena fala tamootunna illa waantummuslimoon
Moreover, Abraham exhorted his children to do the same, and so did Jacob: "O my children, GOD has pointed out the religion for you; do not die except as submitters."
133
اَمْ كُنْتُمْ شُهَدَٓاءَ اِذْ حَضَرَ يَعْقُوبَ الْمَوْتُۙ اِذْ قَالَ لِبَن۪يهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ بَعْد۪يۜ قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ اِلٰهَكَ وَاِلٰهَ اٰبَٓائِكَ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَاِسْمٰع۪يلَ وَاِسْحٰقَ اِلٰهاً وَاحِداًۚ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

Had you witnessed Jacob on his death bed; he said to his children, "What will you worship after I die?" They said, "We will worship your god; the god of your fathers Abraham, Ismail, and Isaac; the one god. To Him we are submitters."
134
تِلْكَ اُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُمْ مَا كَسَبْتُمْۚ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Tilka ommatun qad khalat laha makasabat walakum ma kasabtum wala tus-aloona AAammakano yaAAmaloon
Such is a community from the past. They are responsible for what they earned, and you are responsible for what you earned. You are not answerable for anything they have done.
135
وَقَالُوا كُونُوا هُوداً اَوْ نَصَارٰى تَهْتَدُواۜ قُلْ بَلْ مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ حَن۪يفاًۜ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِك۪ينَ
Waqaloo koonoo hoodan aw nasaratahtadoo qul bal millata ibraheema haneefan wamakana mina almushrikeen
They said, "You have to be Jewish or Christian, to be guided." Say, "We follow the religion of Abraham - monotheism - he never was an idol worshiper."
136
قُولُٓوا اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْنَا وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلٰٓى اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَاِسْمٰع۪يلَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْاَسْبَاطِ وَمَٓا اُو۫تِيَ مُوسٰى وَع۪يسٰى وَمَٓا اُو۫تِيَ النَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۚ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ اَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْۘ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

Say, "We believe in GOD, and in what was sent down to us, and in what was sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."
137
فَاِنْ اٰمَنُوا بِمِثْلِ مَٓا اٰمَنْتُمْ بِه۪ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوْاۚ وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنَّمَا هُمْ ف۪ي شِقَاقٍۚ فَسَيَكْف۪يكَهُمُ اللّٰهُۚ وَهُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُۜ
Fa-in amanoo bimithli ma amantumbihi faqadi ihtadaw wa-in tawallaw fa-innama hum fee shiqaqinfasayakfeekahumu Allahu wahuwa assameeAAualAAaleem
If they believe as you do, then they are guided. But if they turn away, then they are in opposition. GOD will spare you their opposition; He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
138
صِبْغَةَ اللّٰهِۚ وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ صِبْغَةًۘ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ عَابِدُونَ

Such is GOD's system, and whose system is better than GOD's? "Him alone we worship."
139
قُلْ اَتُحَٓاجُّونَنَا فِي اللّٰهِ وَهُوَ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْۚ وَلَـنَٓا اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْۚ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُخْلِصُونَۙ
Qul atuhajjoonana fee Allahiwahuwa rabbuna warabbukum walana aAAmalunawalakum aAAmalukum wanahnu lahu mukhlisoon
Say, "Do you argue with us about GOD, when He is our Lord and your Lord? We are responsible for our deeds, and you are responsible for your deeds. To Him alone we are devoted."
140
اَمْ تَقُولُونَ اِنَّ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَاِسْمٰع۪يلَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْاَسْبَاطَ كَانُوا هُوداً اَوْ نَصَارٰىۜ قُلْ ءَاَنْتُمْ اَعْلَمُ اَمِ اللّٰهُۜ وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَتَمَ شَهَادَةً عِنْدَهُ مِنَ اللّٰهِۜ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Do you say that Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs were Jewish or Christian? Say, "Do you know better than GOD? Who is more evil than one who conceals a testimony he has learned from GOD? GOD is never unaware of anything you do."
141
تِلْكَ اُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُمْ مَا كَسَبْتُمْۚ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ۟

That was a community from the past. They are responsible for what they earned, and you are responsible for what you earned. You are not answerable for anything they did.
142

Sayaqoolu assufahao mina annasima wallahum AAan qiblatihimu allatee kanooAAalayha qul lillahi almashriqu walmaghribuyahdee man yashao ila siratinmustaqeem
The fools among the people would say, "Why did they change the direction of their Qiblah?" Say, "To GOD belongs the east and the west; He guides whoever wills in a straight path."
143
وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ اُمَّةً وَسَطاً لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَٓاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَه۪يداًۜ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّت۪ي كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَٓا اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِـعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلٰى عَقِبَيْهِۜ وَاِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَب۪يرَةً اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ هَدَى اللّٰهُۜ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُض۪يعَ ا۪يمَانَكُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُ۫فٌ رَح۪يمٌ

We thus made you an impartial community, that you may serve as witnesses among the people, and the messenger serves as a witness among you. We changed the direction of your original Qiblah only to distinguish those among you who readily follow the messenger from those who would turn back on their heels. It was a difficult test, but not for those who are guided by GOD. GOD never puts your worship to waste. GOD is Compassionate towards the people, Most Merciful.
144
قَدْ نَرٰى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَٓاءِۚ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضٰيهَاۖ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۜ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۜ وَاِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۜ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

We have seen you turning your face about the sky (searching for the right direction). We now assign a Qiblah that is pleasing to you. Henceforth, you shall turn your face towards the Sacred Masjid. Wherever you may be, all of you shall turn your faces towards it. Those who received the previous scripture know that this is the truth from their Lord. GOD is never unaware of anything they do.
145
وَلَئِنْ اَتَيْتَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ بِكُلِّ اٰيَةٍ مَا تَبِعُوا قِبْلَتَكَۚ وَمَٓا اَنْتَ بِتَابِـعٍ قِبْلَتَهُمْۚ وَمَا بَعْضُهُمْ بِتَابِـعٍ قِبْلَةَ بَعْضٍۜ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَٓاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ اِنَّكَ اِذاً لَمِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَۢ

Even if you show the followers of the scripture every kind of miracle, they will not follow your Qiblah. Nor shall you follow their Qiblah. They do not even follow each others' Qiblah. If you acquiesce to their wishes, after the knowledge that has come to you, you will belong with the transgressors.
146
اَلَّذ۪ينَ اٰتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ اَبْنَٓاءَهُمْۜ وَاِنَّ فَر۪يقاً مِنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
Allatheena ataynahumualkitaba yaAArifoonahu kama yaAArifoona abnaahumwa-inna fareeqan minhum layaktumoona alhaqqa wahumyaAAlamoon
Those who received the scripture recognize the truth herein, as they recognize their own children. Yet, some of them conceal the truth, knowingly.
147
اَلْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَر۪ينَ۟
Alhaqqu min rabbika falatakoonanna mina almumtareen
This is the truth from your Lord; do not harbor any doubt.
148

Walikullin wijhatun huwa muwalleehafastabiqoo alkhayrati aynama takoonoo ya/tibikumu Allahu jameeAAan inna Allaha AAalakulli shay-in qadeer
Each of you chooses the direction to follow; you shall race towards righteousness. Wherever you may be, GOD will summon you all. GOD is Omnipotent.
149
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۜ وَاِنَّهُ لَلْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَۜ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
Wamin haythu kharajta fawalliwajhaka shatra almasjidi alharami wa-innahulalhaqqu min rabbika wama Allahu bighafilinAAamma taAAmaloon
Wherever you go, you shall turn your face (during Salat) towards the Sacred Masjid. This is the truth from your Lord. GOD is never unaware of anything you all do.,
150
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۜ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۙ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌۗ اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْن۪ي وَلِاُتِمَّ نِعْمَت۪ي عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَۙ

Wherever you go, you shall turn your face (during Salat) towards the Sacred Masjid; wherever you might be, you shall turn your faces (during Salat) towards it. Thus, the people will have no argument against you, except the transgressors among them. Do not fear them, and fear Me instead. I will then perfect My blessings upon you, that you may be guided.

Kama arsalna feekum rasoolanminkum yatloo AAalaykum ayatinawayuzakkeekum wayuAAallimukumu alkitaba walhikmatawayuAAallimukum ma lam takoonoo taAAlamoon
(Blessings) such as the sending of a messenger from among you to recite our revelations to you, purify you, teach you the scripture and wisdom, and to teach you what you never knew.
152
فَاذْكُرُون۪ٓي اَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا ل۪ي وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ۟
Fathkuroonee athkurkumwashkuroo lee wala takfuroon
You shall remember Me, that I may remember you, and be thankful to Me; do not be unappreciative.
153
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اسْتَع۪ينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلٰوةِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الصَّابِر۪ينَ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooistaAAeenoo bissabri wassalatiinna Allaha maAAa assabireen
O you who believe, seek help through steadfastness and the Contact Prayers (Salat). GOD is with those who steadfastly persevere.
154
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ اَمْوَاتٌۜ بَلْ اَحْيَٓاءٌ وَلٰكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
Wala taqooloo liman yuqtalu feesabeeli Allahi amwatun bal ahyaon walakinla tashAAuroon
Do not say of those who are killed in the cause of GOD, "They are dead." They are alive at their Lord, but you do not perceive.,
155
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِنَ الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِۜ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِر۪ينَۙ
Walanabluwannakum bishay-in mina alkhawfiwaljooAAi wanaqsin mina al-amwali wal-anfusiwaththamarati wabashshiri assabireen
We will surely test you through some fear, hunger, and loss of money, lives, and crops. Give good news to the steadfast.,
156
اَلَّذ۪ينَ اِذَٓا اَصَابَتْهُمْ مُص۪يبَةٌۙ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَاِنَّٓا اِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَۜ
Allatheena itha asabat-hummuseebatun qaloo inna lillahi wa-innailayhi rajiAAoon
When an affliction befalls them, they say, "We belong to GOD, and to Him we are returning."
157
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
Ola-ika AAalayhim salawatunmin rabbihim warahmatun waola-ika humu almuhtadoon
These have deserved blessings from their Lord and mercy. These are the guided ones.
158
اِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَٓائِرِ اللّٰهِۚ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ اَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ اَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاۜ وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْراًۙ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَاكِرٌ عَل۪يمٌ
Inna assafa walmarwatamin shaAAa-iri Allahi faman hajja albaytaawi iAAtamara fala junaha AAalayhi an yattawwafabihima waman tatawwaAAa khayran fa-inna Allahashakirun AAaleem
The knolls of Safa and Marwah are among the rites decreed by GOD. Anyone who observes Hajj or 'Umrah commits no error by traversing the distance between them. If one volunteers more righteous works, then GOD is Appreciative, Omniscient.
159
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَٓا اَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدٰى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِۙ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَۙ
Inna allatheena yaktumoona maanzalna mina albayyinati walhuda minbaAAdi ma bayyannahu linnasi feealkitabi ola-ika yalAAanuhumu AllahuwayalAAanuhumu allaAAinoon
Those who conceal our revelations and guidance, after proclaiming them for the people in the scripture, are condemned by GOD; they are condemned by all the condemners.
160
اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ تَابُوا وَاَصْلَحُوا وَبَيَّنُوا فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْۚ وَاَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ
Illa allatheena taboowaaslahoo wabayyanoo faola-ika atoobuAAalayhim waana attawwabu arraheem
As for those who repent, reform, and proclaim, I redeem them. I am the Redeemer, Most Merciful.
161
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَع۪ينَۙ
Inna allatheena kafaroo wamatoowahum kuffarun ola-ika AAalayhim laAAnatu Allahiwalmala-ikati wannasi ajmaAAeen
Those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, have incurred the condemnation of GOD, the angels, and all the people (on the Day of Judgment).
162
خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۚ لَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُونَ
Khalideena feeha layukhaffafu AAanhumu alAAathabu wala hum yuntharoon
Eternally they abide therein. The retribution is never commuted for them, nor are they reprieved.
163
وَاِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌۚ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمٰنُ الرَّح۪يمُ۟
Wa-ilahukum ilahun wahidunla ilaha illa huwa arrahmanuarraheem
Your god is one god; there is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
164

In the creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, the ships that roam the ocean for the benefit of the people, the water that GOD sends down from the sky to revive dead land and to spread in it all kinds of creatures, the manipulation of the winds, and the clouds that are placed between the sky and the earth, there are sufficient proofs for people who understand.
165
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ اَنْدَاداً يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللّٰهِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَشَدُّ حُباًّ لِلّٰهِۜ وَلَوْ يَرَى الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُٓوا اِذْ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَۙ اَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلّٰهِ جَم۪يعاًۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَد۪يدُ الْعَذَابِ

Yet, some people set up idols to rival GOD, and love them as if they are GOD. Those who believe love GOD the most. If only the transgressors could see themselves when they see the retribution! They will realize then that all power belongs to GOD alone, and that GOD's retribution is awesome.
166
اِذْ تَبَرَّاَ الَّذ۪ينَ اتُّبِعُوا مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّبَعُوا وَرَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْاَسْبَابُ
Ith tabarraa allatheenaittubiAAoo mina allatheena ittabaAAoo waraawoo alAAathabawataqattaAAat bihimu al-asbab
Those who were followed will disown those who followed them. They will see the retribution, and all ties among them will be severed.
167
وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّبَعُوا لَوْ اَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّؤُ۫ا مِنَّاۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُر۪يهِمُ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ حَسَرَاتٍ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَمَا هُمْ بِخَارِج۪ينَ مِنَ النَّارِ۟
Waqala allatheena ittabaAAoolaw anna lana karratan fanatabarraa minhum kamatabarraoo minna kathalika yureehimu AllahuaAAmalahum hasaratin AAalayhim wamahum bikharijeena mina annar
Those who followed will say, "If we can get another chance, we will disown them, as they have disowned us now." GOD thus shows them the consequences of their works as nothing but remorse; they will never exit Hell.
168
يَٓا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْاَرْضِ حَـلَالاً طَـيِّباًۘ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِۜ اِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُب۪ينٌ
Ya ayyuha annasukuloo mimma fee al-ardi halalan tayyibanwala tattabiAAoo khutuwati ashshaytaniinnahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeen
O people, eat from the earth's products all that is lawful and good, and do not follow the steps of Satan; he is your most ardent enemy.
169
اِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالسُّٓوءِ وَالْفَحْشَٓاءِ وَاَنْ تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Innama ya/murukum bissoo-iwalfahsha-i waan taqooloo AAala Allahima la taAAlamoon
He only commands you to commit evil and vice, and to say about GOD what you do not know.
170
وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوا بَلْ نَـتَّبِـعُ مَٓا اَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ اٰبَٓاءَنَاۜ اَوَلَوْ كَانَ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْـٔاً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ
Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo maanzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma alfaynaAAalayhi abaana awa law kana abaohumla yaAAqiloona shay-an wala yahtadoon
When they are told, "Follow what GOD has revealed herein," they say, "We follow only what we found our parents doing." What if their parents did not understand, and were not guided?
171
وَمَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا كَمَثَلِ الَّذ۪ي يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ اِلَّا دُعَٓاءً وَنِدَٓاءًۜ صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
Wamathalu allatheena kafarookamathali allathee yanAAiqu bima la yasmaAAuilla duAAaan wanidaan summun bukmunAAumyun fahum la yaAAqiloon
The example of such disbelievers is that of parrots who repeat what they hear of sounds and calls, without understanding. Deaf, dumb, and blind; they cannot understand.
172
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِلّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanookuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum washkuroolillahi in kuntum iyyahu taAAbudoon
O you who believe, eat from the good things we provided for you, and be thankful to GOD, if you do worship Him alone.
173
اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْز۪يرِ وَمَٓا اُهِلَّ بِه۪ لِغَيْرِ اللّٰهِۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَٓا اِثْمَ عَلَيْهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ
Innama harrama AAalaykumualmaytata waddama walahma alkhinzeeri wamaohilla bihi lighayri Allahi famani idturra ghayra baghinwala AAadin fala ithma AAalayhi inna Allahaghafoorun raheem
He only prohibits for you the eating of animals that die of themselves (without human interference), blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. If one is forced (to eat these), without being malicious or deliberate, he incurs no sin. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
174
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِه۪ ثَمَناً قَل۪يلاًۙ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ ف۪ي بُطُونِهِمْ اِلَّا النَّارَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكّ۪يهِمْۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Those who conceal GOD's revelations in the scripture, in exchange for a cheap material gain, eat but fire into their bellies. GOD will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They have incurred a painful retribution.
175
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدٰى وَالْعَذَابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِۚ فَمَٓا اَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ
Ola-ika allatheena ishtarawooaddalalata bilhuda walAAathababilmaghfirati fama asbarahum AAala annar
It is they who chose the straying instead of guidance, and the retribution instead of forgiveness. Consequently, they will have to endure Hell.
176
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّۜ وَاِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ لَف۪ي شِقَاقٍ بَع۪يدٍ۟
Thalika bi-anna Allahanazzala alkitaba bilhaqqi wa-inna allatheenaikhtalafoo fee alkitabi lafee shiqaqin baAAeed
This is because GOD has revealed this scripture, bearing the truth, and those who dispute the scripture are the most ardent opponents.
177
لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ اَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ وَالْكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيّ۪نَۚ وَاٰتَى الْمَالَ عَلٰى حُبِّه۪ ذَوِي الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتَامٰى وَالْمَسَاك۪ينَ وَابْنَ السَّب۪يلِ وَالسَّٓائِل۪ينَ وَفِي الرِّقَابِۚ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَى الزَّكٰوةَۚ وَالْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ اِذَا عَاهَدُواۚ وَالصَّابِر۪ينَ فِي الْبَأْسَٓاءِ وَالضَّرَّٓاءِ وَح۪ينَ الْبَأْسِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ صَدَقُواۜ وَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ

Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous.
178
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلٰىۜ اَلْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْاُنْثٰى بِالْاُنْثٰىۜ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ اَخ۪يهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَاَدَٓاءٌ اِلَيْهِ بِاِحْسَانٍۜ ذٰلِكَ تَخْف۪يفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌۜ فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

O you who believe, equivalence is the law decreed for you when dealing with murder - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the female for the female. If one is pardoned by the victim's kin, an appreciative response is in order, and an equitable compensation shall be paid. This is an alleviation from your Lord and mercy. Anyone who transgresses beyond this incurs a painful retribution.
179
وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيٰوةٌ يَٓا اُو۬لِي الْاَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
Walakum fee alqisasi hayatunya olee al-albabi laAAallakum tattaqoon
Equivalence is a life saving law for you, O you who possess intelligence, that you may be righteous.
180

It is decreed that when death approaches, you shall write a will for the benefit of the parents and relatives, equitably. This is a duty upon the righteous.
181
فَمَنْ بَدَّلَهُ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعَهُ فَاِنَّمَٓا اِثْمُهُ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ يُبَدِّلُونَهُۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌۜ
Faman baddalahu baAAda ma samiAAahufa-innama ithmuhu AAala allatheenayubaddiloonahu inna Allaha sameeAAun AAaleem
If anyone alters a will he had heard, the sin of altering befalls those responsible for such altering. GOD is Hearer, Knower.
182
فَمَنْ خَافَ مِنْ مُوصٍ جَنَفاً اَوْ اِثْماً فَاَصْلَحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَٓا اِثْمَ عَلَيْهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ۟
Faman khafa min moosinjanafan aw ithman faaslaha baynahum falaithma AAalayhi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheem
If one sees gross injustice or bias on the part of a testator, and takes corrective action to restore justice to the will, he commits no sin. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
183
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَۙ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanookutiba AAalaykumu assiyamu kamakutiba AAala allatheena min qablikum laAAallakumtattaqoon
O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for those before you, that you may attain salvation.
184
اَيَّاماً مَعْدُودَاتٍۜ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَر۪يضاً اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ اَيَّامٍ اُخَرَۜ وَعَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ يُط۪يقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْك۪ينٍۜ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْراً فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُۜ وَاَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or traveling, an equal number of other days may be substituted. Those who can fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast. If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the best for you, if you only knew.
185

Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.
186

When My servants ask you about Me, I am always near. I answer their prayers when they pray to Me. The people shall respond to Me and believe in Me, in order to be guided.

Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the nights of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the keepers of their secrets. GOD knew that you used to betray your souls, and He has redeemed you, and has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse with them, seeking what GOD has permitted for you. You may eat and drink until the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night at dawn. Then, you shall fast until sunset. Sexual intercourse is prohibited if you decide to retreat to the masjid (during the last ten days of Ramadan). These are GOD's laws; you shall not transgress them. GOD thus clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may attain salvation.

وَلَا تَأْكُلُٓوا اَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتُدْلُوا بِهَٓا اِلَى الْحُكَّامِ لِتَأْكُلُوا فَر۪يقاً مِنْ اَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ بِالْاِثْمِ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ۟

You shall not take each others' money illicitly, nor shall you bribe the officials to deprive others of some of their rights illicitly, while you know.
189
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ الْاَهِلَّةِۜ قُلْ هِيَ مَوَاق۪يتُ لِلنَّاسِ وَالْحَجِّۜ وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِاَنْ تَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا وَلٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقٰىۚ وَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ اَبْوَابِهَاۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

They ask you about the phases of the moon! Say, "They provide a timing device for the people, and determine the time of Hajj." It is not righteous to beat around the bush; righteousness is attained by upholding the commandments and by being straightforward. You shall observe GOD, that you may succeed.,
190
وَقَاتِلُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ الَّذ۪ينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُواۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَد۪ينَ
Waqatiloo fee sabeeli Allahiallatheena yuqatiloonakum wala taAAtadooinna Allaha la yuhibbu almuAAtadeen
You may fight in the cause of GOD against those who attack you, but do not aggress. GOD does not love the aggressors.
191

You may kill those who wage war against you, and you may evict them whence they evicted you. Oppression is worse than murder. Do not fight them at the Sacred Masjid, unless they attack you therein. If they attack you, you may kill them. This is the just retribution for those disbelievers.
192
فَاِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ
Fa-ini intahaw fa-inna Allahaghafoorun raheem

You may also fight them to eliminate oppression, and to worship GOD freely. If they refrain, you shall not aggress; aggression is permitted only against the aggressors.

During the Sacred Months, aggression may be met by an equivalent response. If they attack you, you may retaliate by inflicting an equitable retribution. You shall observe GOD and know that GOD is with the righteous.
195

Waanfiqoo fee sabeeli Allahi walatulqoo bi-aydeekum ila attahlukati waahsinooinna Allaha yuhibbu almuhsineen
You shall spend in the cause of GOD; do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction. You shall be charitable; GOD loves the charitable.
196

You shall observe the complete rites of Hajj and 'Umrah for GOD. If you are prevented, you shall send an offering, and do not resume cutting your hair until your offering has reached its destination. If you are ill, or suffering a head injury (and you must cut your hair), you shall expiate by fasting, or giving to charity, or some other form of worship. During the normal Hajj, if you break the state of Ihraam (sanctity) between 'Umrah and Hajj, you shall expiate by offering an animal sacrifice. If you cannot afford it, you shall fast three days during Hajj and seven when you return home - this completes ten - provided you do not live at the Sacred Masjid. You shall observe GOD, and know that GOD is strict in enforcing retribution.
197

Hajj shall be observed in the specified months . Whoever sets out to observe Hajj shall refrain from sexual intercourse, misconduct, and arguments throughout Hajj. Whatever good you do, GOD is fully aware thereof. As you prepare your provisions for the journey, the best provision is righteousness. You shall observe Me, O you who possess intelligence.
198
لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلاً مِنْ رَبِّكُمْۜ فَاِذَٓا اَفَضْتُمْ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ عِنْدَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِۖ وَاذْكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدٰيكُمْۚ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ لَمِنَ الضَّٓالّ۪ينَ

You commit no error by seeking provisions from your Lord (through commerce). When you file from 'Arafaat, you shall commemorate GOD at the Sacred Location (of Muzdalifah). You shall commemorate Him for guiding you; before this, you had gone astray.
199
ثُمَّ اَف۪يضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ اَفَاضَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ
Thumma afeedoo min haythu afadaannasu wastaghfiroo Allaha inna Allahaghafoorun raheem
You shall file together, with the rest of the people who file, and ask GOD for forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
200
فَاِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَنَاسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ اٰبَٓاءَكُمْ اَوْ اَشَدَّ ذِكْراًۜ فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ رَبَّنَٓا اٰتِنَا فِي الدُّنْ يَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ

Once you complete your rites, you shall continue to commemorate GOD as you commemorate your own parents, or even better. Some people would say, "Our Lord, give us of this world," while having no share in the Hereafter.
201
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ رَبَّنَٓا اٰتِنَا فِي الدُّنْ يَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْاٰخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Others would say, "Our Lord, grant us righteousness in this world, and righteousness in the Hereafter, and spare us the retribution of Hell."
202
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ نَص۪يبٌ مِمَّا كَسَبُواۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَر۪يعُ الْحِسَابِ
Ola-ika lahum naseebun mimmakasaboo wallahu sareeAAu alhisab
Each of these will receive the share they have earned. GOD is most efficient in reckoning.
203
وَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ ف۪ٓي اَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَاتٍۜ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ ف۪ي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَٓا اِثْمَ عَلَيْهِۚ وَمَنْ تَاَخَّرَ فَلَٓا اِثْمَ عَلَيْهِۙ لِمَنِ اتَّقٰىۜ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّكُمْ اِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

You shall commemorate GOD for a number of days (in Mena); whoever hastens to do this in two days commits no sin, and whoever stays longer commits no sin, so long as righteousness is maintained. You shall observe GOD, and know that before Him you will be gathered.
204
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُعْجِبُكَ قَوْلُهُ فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْ يَا وَيُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى مَا ف۪ي قَلْبِه۪ۙ وَهُوَ اَلَدُّ الْخِصَامِ
Wamina annasi man yuAAjibukaqawluhu fee alhayati addunyawayushhidu Allaha AAala ma fee qalbihiwahuwa aladdu alkhisam
Among the people, one may impress you with his utterances concerning this life, and may even call upon GOD to witness his innermost thoughts, while he is a most ardent opponent.
205
وَاِذَا تَوَلّٰى سَعٰى فِي الْاَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ ف۪يهَا وَيُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ وَالنَّسْلَۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَسَادَ
Wa-itha tawalla saAAafee al-ardi liyufsida feeha wayuhlika alharthawannasla wallahu la yuhibbualfasad
As soon as he leaves, he roams the earth corruptingly, destroying properties and lives. GOD does not love corruption.
206
وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُ اتَّقِ اللّٰهَ اَخَذَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ بِالْاِثْمِ فَحَسْبُهُ جَهَنَّمُۜ وَلَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ
Wa-itha qeela lahu ittaqi Allahaakhathat-hu alAAizzatu bil-ithmi fahasbuhujahannamu walabi/sa almihad
When he is told, "Observe GOD," he becomes arrogantly indignant. Consequently, his only destiny is Hell; what a miserable abode.
207
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْر۪ي نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَٓاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِۜ وَاللّٰهُ رَؤُ۫فٌ بِالْعِبَادِ
Wamina annasi man yashreenafsahu ibtighaa mardati Allahi wallahuraoofun bilAAibad
Then there are those who dedicate their lives to serving GOD; GOD is compassionate towards such worshipers.
208
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَٓافَّةًۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِۜ اِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُب۪ينٌ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooodkhuloo fee assilmi kaffatan walatattabiAAoo khutuwati ashshaytaniinnahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeen
O you who believe, you shall embrace total submission; do not follow the steps of Satan, for he is your most ardent enemy.
209
فَاِنْ زَلَلْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَٓاءَتْكُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ فَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ
Fa-in zalaltum min baAAdi ma jaatkumualbayyinatu faAAlamoo anna Allaha AAazeezunhakeem
If you backslide, after the clear proofs have come to you, then know that GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
210
هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّٓا اَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ف۪ي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمَامِ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ وَقُضِيَ الْاَمْرُۜ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُورُ۟
Hal yanthuroona illaan ya/tiyahumu Allahu fee thulalin minaalghamami walmala-ikatu waqudiyaal-amru wa-ila Allahi turjaAAu al-omoor
Are they waiting until GOD Himself comes to them in dense clouds, together with the angels? When this happens, the whole matter will be terminated, and to GOD everything will be returned.
211
سَلْ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ كَمْ اٰتَيْنَاهُمْ مِنْ اٰيَةٍ بَيِّنَةٍۜ وَمَنْ يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَٓاءَتْهُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَد۪يدُ الْعِقَابِ
Sal banee isra-eela kam ataynahummin ayatin bayyinatin waman yubaddil niAAmata Allahimin baAAdi ma jaat-hu fa-inna Allahashadeedu alAAiqab
Ask the Children of Israel how many profound miracles have we shown them! For those who disregard the blessings bestowed upon them by GOD, GOD is most strict in retribution.
212

This worldly life is adorned in the eyes of the disbelievers, and they ridicule those who believe. However, the righteous will be far above them on the Day of Resurrection. GOD blesses whomever He wills, without limits.
213
كَانَ النَّاسُ اُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ النَّبِيّ۪نَ مُبَشِّر۪ينَ وَمُنْذِر۪ينَۖ وَاَنْزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ف۪يمَا اخْتَلَفُوا ف۪يهِۜ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ ف۪يهِ اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَٓاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ بَغْياً بَيْنَهُمْۚ فَهَدَى اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا ف۪يهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِاِذْنِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ

The people used to be one community when GOD sent the prophets as bearers of good news, as well as warners. He sent down with them the scripture, bearing the truth, to judge among the people in their disputes. Ironically, those who received the scripture were the ones who rejected any new scripture, despite clear proofs given to them. This is due to jealousy on their part. GOD guides those who believe to the truth that is disputed by all others, in accordance with His will. GOD guides whoever wills in a straight path.
214
اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُمْ مَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْۜ مَسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَٓاءُ وَالضَّرَّٓاءُ وَزُلْزِلُوا حَتّٰى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتٰى نَصْرُ اللّٰهِۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّٰهِ قَر۪يبٌ

Do you expect to enter Paradise without being tested like those before you? They were tested with hardship and adversity, and were shaken up, until the messenger and those who believed with him said, "Where is GOD's victory?" GOD's victory is near.
215
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَۜ قُلْ مَٓا اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْاَقْرَب۪ينَ وَالْيَتَامٰى وَالْمَسَاك۪ينِ وَابْنِ السَّب۪يلِۜ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِه۪ عَل۪يمٌ

They ask you about giving: say, "The charity you give shall go to the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the traveling alien." Any good you do, GOD is fully aware thereof.
216

Fighting may be imposed on you, even though you dislike it. But you may dislike something which is good for you, and you may like something which is bad for you. GOD knows while you do not know.

They ask you about the Sacred Months and fighting therein: say, "Fighting therein is a sacrilege. However, repelling from the path of GOD and disbelieving in Him and in the sanctity of the Sacred Masjid, and evicting its people, are greater sacrileges in the sight of GOD. Oppression is worse than murder." They will always fight you to revert you from your religion, if they can. Those among you who revert from their religion, and die as disbelievers, have nullified their works in this life and the Hereafter. These are the dwellers of Hell, wherein they abide forever.

They ask you about intoxicants and gambling: say, "In them there is a gross sin, and some benefits for the people. But their sinfulness far outweighs their benefit." They also ask you what to give to charity: say, "The excess." GOD thus clarifies the revelations for you, that you may reflect,

upon this life and the Hereafter. And they ask you about the orphans: say, "Bringing them up as righteous persons is the best you can do for them. If you mix their property with yours, you shall treat them as family members." GOD knows the righteous and the wicked. Had GOD willed, He could have imposed harsher rules upon you. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.

Do not marry idolatresses unless they believe; a believing woman is better than an idolatress, even if you like her. Nor shall you give your daughters in marriage to idolatrous men, unless they believe. A believing man is better than an idolater, even if you like him. These invite to Hell, while GOD invites to Paradise and forgiveness, as He wills. He clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may take heed.

They ask you about menstruation: say, "It is harmful; you shall avoid sexual intercourse with the women during menstruation; do not approach them until they are rid of it. Once they are rid of it, you may have intercourse with them in the manner designed by GOD. GOD loves the repenters, and He loves those who are clean."

Do not subject GOD's name to your casual swearing, that you may appear righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the people. GOD is Hearer, Knower.
225

GOD does not hold you responsible for the mere utterance of oaths; He holds you responsible for your innermost intentions. GOD is Forgiver, Clement.

The divorced women shall wait three menstruations (before marrying another man). It is not lawful for them to conceal what GOD creates in their wombs, if they believe in GOD and the Last Day. (In case of pregnancy,) the husband's wishes shall supersede the wife's wishes, if he wants to remarry her. The women have rights, as well as obligations, equitably. Thus, the man's wishes prevail (in case of pregnancy). GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.

Divorce may be retracted twice. The divorced woman shall be allowed to live in the same home amicably, or leave it amicably. It is not lawful for the husband to take back anything he had given her. However, the couple may fear that they may transgress GOD's law. If there is fear that they may transgress GOD's law, they commit no error if the wife willingly gives back whatever she chooses. These are GOD's laws; do not transgress them. Those who transgress GOD's laws are the unjust.

If he divorces her (for the third time), it is unlawful for him to remarry her, unless she marries another man, then he divorces her. The first husband can then remarry her, so long as they observe GOD's laws. These are GOD's laws; He explains them for people who know.

If you divorce the women, once they fulfill their interim (three menstruations), you shall allow them to live in the same home amicably, or let them leave amicably. Do not force them to stay against their will, as a revenge. Anyone who does this wrongs his own soul. Do not take GOD's revelations in vain. Remember GOD's blessings upon you, and that He sent down to you the scripture and wisdom to enlighten you. You shall observe GOD, and know that GOD is aware of all things.

If you divorce the women, once they fulfill their interim, do not prevent them from remarrying their husbands, if they reconcile amicably. This shall be heeded by those among you who believe in GOD and the Last Day. This is purer for you, and more righteous. GOD knows, while you do not know.

Divorced mothers shall nurse their infants two full years, if the father so wishes. The father shall provide the mother's food and clothing equitably. No one shall be burdened beyond his ability. No mother shall be harmed on account of her infant, nor shall the father be harmed because of his infant. (If the father dies), his inheritor shall assume these responsibilities. If the infant's parents mutually agree to part, after due consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing mothers, so long as you pay them equitably. You shall observe GOD, and know that GOD is Seer of everything you do.

Those who die and leave wives, their widows shall wait four months and ten days (before they remarry). Once they fulfill their interim, you commit no error by letting them do whatever righteous matters they wish to do. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

You commit no sin by announcing your engagement to the women, or keeping it secret. GOD knows that you will think about them. Do not meet them secretly, unless you have something righteous to discuss. Do not consummate the marriage until their interim is fulfilled. You should know that GOD knows your innermost thoughts, and observe Him. You should know that GOD is Forgiver, Clement.

You commit no error by divorcing the women before touching them, or before setting the dowry for them. In this case, you shall compensate them - the rich as he can afford and the poor as he can afford - an equitable compensation. This is a duty upon the righteous.

If you divorce them before touching them, but after you had set the dowry for them, the compensation shall be half the dowry, unless they voluntarily forfeit their rights, or the party responsible for causing the divorce chooses to forfeit the dowry. To forfeit is closer to righteousness. You shall maintain the amicable relations among you. GOD is Seer of everything you do.

Those who die and leave wives, a will shall provide their wives with support for a year, provided they stay within the same household. If they leave, you commit no sin by letting them do whatever they wish, so long as righteousness is maintained. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
241

The divorcees also shall be provided for, equitably. This is a duty upon the righteous.

GOD thus explains His revelations for you, that you may understand.
243
اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذ۪ينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَهُمْ اُلُوفٌ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِۖ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مُوتُوا ثُمَّ اَحْيَاهُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Have you noted those who fled their homes - though they were in the thousands - fearing death? GOD said to them, "Die," then revived them. GOD showers His grace upon the people, but most people are unappreciative.
244
وَقَاتِلُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

You shall fight in the cause of GOD, and know that GOD is Hearer, Knower.
245

Who would lend GOD a loan of righteousness, to have it repaid to them multiplied manifold? GOD is the One who provides and withholds, and to Him you will be returned.
246

Have you noted the leaders of Israel after Moses? They said to their prophet, "If you appoint a king to lead us, we will fight in the cause of GOD." He said, "Is it your intention that, if fighting is decreed for you, you will not fight?" They said, "Why should we not fight in the cause of GOD, when we have been deprived of our homes, and our children?" Yet, when fighting was decreed for them, they turned away, except a few. GOD is aware of the transgressors.
247
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طَالُوتَ مَلِكاًۜ قَالُٓوا اَنّٰى يَكُونُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ اَحَقُّ بِالْمُلْكِ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِنَ الْمَالِۜ قَالَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفٰيهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَزَادَهُ بَسْطَةً فِي الْعِلْمِ وَالْجِسْمِۜ وَاللّٰهُ يُؤْت۪ي مُلْكَهُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

Their prophet said to them, "GOD has appointed Taloot (Saul) to be your king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us when we are more worthy of kingship than he; he is not even rich?" He said, "GOD has chosen him over you, and has blessed him with an abundance in knowledge and in body." GOD grants His kingship to whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient.
248
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ اِنَّ اٰيَةَ مُلْكِه۪ٓ اَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ التَّابُوتُ ف۪يهِ سَك۪ينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَبَقِيَّةٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ اٰلُ مُوسٰى وَاٰلُ هٰرُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةُۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ۟

Their prophet said to them, "The sign of his kingship is that the Ark of the Covenant will be restored to you, bringing assurances from your Lord, and relics left by the people of Moses and the people of Aaron. It will be carried by the angels. This should be a convincing sign for you, if you are really believers."
249
فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِالْجُنُودِۙ قَالَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مُبْتَل۪يكُمْ بِنَهَرٍۚ فَمَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنّ۪يۚ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَاِنَّهُ مِنّ۪ٓي اِلَّا مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةً بِيَدِه۪ۚ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ اِلَّا قَل۪يلاً مِنْهُمْۜ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ هُوَ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَعَهُۙ قَالُوا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِه۪ۜ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ يَظُنُّونَ اَنَّهُمْ مُلَاقُوا اللّٰهِۙ كَمْ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَل۪يلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَث۪يرَةً بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۜ وَاللّٰهُ مَعَ الصَّابِر۪ينَ

When Saul took command of the troops, he said, "GOD is putting you to the test by means of a stream. Anyone who drinks from it does not belong with me - only those who do not taste it belong with me - unless it is just a single sip." They drank from it, except a few of them. When he crossed it with those who believed, they said, "Now we lack the strength to face Goliath and his troops." Those who were conscious of meeting GOD said, "Many a small army defeated a large army by GOD's leave. GOD is with those who steadfastly persevere."
250
وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِه۪ قَالُوا رَبَّنَٓا اَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْراً وَثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِر۪ينَۜ

When they faced Goliath and his troops, they prayed, "Our Lord, grant us steadfastness, strengthen our foothold, and support us against the disbelieving people."
251

They defeated them by GOD's leave, and David killed Goliath. GOD gave him kingship and wisdom, and taught him as He willed. If it were not for GOD's support of some people against others, there would be chaos on earth. But GOD showers His grace upon the people.
252

These are GOD's revelations. We recite them through you, truthfully, for you are one of the messengers.,

These messengers; we blessed some of them more than others. For example, GOD spoke to one, and we raised some of them to higher ranks. And we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Had GOD willed, their followers would not have fought with each other, after the clear proofs had come to them. Instead, they disputed among themselves; some of them believed, and some disbelieved. Had GOD willed, they would not have fought. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will.

O you who believe, you shall give to charity from the provisions we have given to you, before a day comes where there is no trade, no nepotism, and no intercession. The disbelievers are the unjust.
255

GOD: there is no other god besides Him, the Living, the Eternal. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes Him. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who could intercede with Him, except in accordance with His will? He knows their past, and their future. No one attains any knowledge, except as He wills. His dominion encompasses the heavens and the earth, and ruling them never burdens Him. He is the Most High, the Great.
256

There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient.
257
اَللّٰهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُواۙ يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ اِلَى النُّورِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا اَوْلِيَٓاؤُ۬هُمُ الطَّاغُوتُۙ يُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النُّورِ اِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ۟

GOD is Lord of those who believe; He leads them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are their idols; they lead them out of the light into darkness - these will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.
258

Have you noted the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord, though GOD had given him kingship? Abraham said, "My Lord grants life and death." He said, "I grant life and death." Abraham said, "GOD brings the sun from the east, can you bring it from the west?" The disbeliever was stumped. GOD does not guide the wicked.

Consider the one who passed by a ghost town and wondered, "How can GOD revive this after it had died?" GOD then put him to death for a hundred years, then resurrected him. He said, "How long have you stayed here?" He said, "I have been here a day, or part of the day." He said, "No! You have been here a hundred years. Yet, look at your food and drink; they did not spoil. Look at your donkey - we thus render you a lesson for the people. Now, note how we construct the bones, then cover them with flesh." When he realized what had happened, he said, "Now I know that GOD is Omnipotent."

Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You revive the dead." He said, "Do you not believe?" He said, "Yes, but I wish to reassure my heart." He said, "Take four birds, study their marks, place a piece of each bird on top of a hill, then call them to you. They will come to you in a hurry. You should know that GOD is Almighty, Most Wise."

The example of those who spend their monies in the cause of GOD is that of a grain that produces seven spikes, with a hundred grains in each spike. GOD multiplies this manifold for whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Knower.
262

O you who believe, do not nullify your charities by inflicting reproach and insult, like one who spends his money to show off, while disbelieving in GOD and the Last Day. His example is like a rock covered with a thin layer of soil; as soon as heavy rain falls, it washes off the soil, leaving it a useless rock. They gain nothing from their efforts. GOD does not guide disbelieving people.
265
وَمَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ يُنْفِقُونَ اَمْوَالَهُمُ ابْتِغَٓاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَتَثْب۪يتاً مِنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍ بِرَبْوَةٍ اَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ فَاٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَيْنِۚ فَاِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌ فَطَلٌّۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يرٌ

The example of those who give their money seeking GOD's pleasure, out of sincere conviction, is that of a garden on high fertile soil; when heavy rain falls, it gives twice as much crop. If heavy rain is not available, a drizzle will suffice. GOD is Seer of everything you do.
266
اَيَوَدُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِنْ نَخ۪يلٍ وَاَعْنَابٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۙ لَهُ ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِۙ وَاَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَٓاءُۖ فَاَصَابَهَٓا اِعْصَارٌ ف۪يهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ۟

Does any of you wish to own a garden of palm trees and grapes, with flowing streams and generous crops, then, just as he grows old, and while his children are still dependent on him, a holocaust strikes and burns up his garden? GOD thus clarifies the revelations for you, that you may reflect.
267
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَنْفِقُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّٓا اَخْرَجْنَا لَكُمْ مِنَ الْاَرْضِۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَب۪يثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِاٰخِذ۪يهِ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تُغْمِضُوا ف۪يهِۜ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِيٌّ حَم۪يدٌ

O you who believe, you shall give to charity from the good things you earn, and from what we have produced for you from the earth. Do not pick out the bad therein to give away, when you yourselves do not accept it unless your eyes are closed. You should know that GOD is Rich, Praiseworthy.
268
اَلشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْفَحْشَٓاءِۚ وَاللّٰهُ يَعِدُكُمْ مَغْفِرَةً مِنْهُ وَفَضْلاًۜ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَل۪يمٌۚ
Ashshaytanu yaAAidukumualfaqra waya/murukum bilfahsha-i wallahuyaAAidukum maghfiratan minhu wafadlan wallahuwasiAAun AAaleem
The devil promises you poverty and commands you to commit evil, while GOD promises you forgiveness from Him and grace. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient.
269
يُؤْتِي الْحِكْمَةَ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ وَمَنْ يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ اُو۫تِيَ خَيْراً كَث۪يراًۜ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ اِلَّٓا اُو۬لُوا الْاَلْبَابِ
Yu/tee alhikmata man yashaowaman yu/ta alhikmata faqad ootiya khayran katheeran wamayaththakkaru illa oloo al-albab
He bestows wisdom upon whomever He chooses, and whoever attains wisdom, has attained a great bounty. Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.
270
وَمَٓا اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ اَوْ نَذَرْتُمْ مِنْ نَذْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُهُۜ وَمَا لِلظَّالِم۪ينَ مِنْ اَنْصَارٍ
Wama anfaqtum min nafaqatin aw nathartummin nathrin fa-inna Allaha yaAAlamuhu wamaliththalimeena min ansar
Any charity you give, or a charitable pledge you fulfill, GOD is fully aware thereof. As for the wicked, they will have no helpers.
271
اِنْ تُبْدُوا الصَّدَقَاتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِيَۚ وَاِنْ تُخْفُوهَا وَتُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَـرَٓاءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْۜ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْكُمْ مِنْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَب۪يرٌ
In tubdoo assadaqatifaniAAimma hiya wa-in tukhfooha watu/toohaalfuqaraa fahuwa khayrun lakum wayukaffiru AAankum minsayyi-atikum wallahu bimataAAmaloona khabeer
If you declare your charities, they are still good. But if you keep them anonymous, and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and remits more of your sins. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
272
لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ هُدٰيهُمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَهْد۪ي مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلِاَنْفُسِكُمْۜ وَمَا تُنْفِقُونَ اِلَّا ابْتِغَٓاءَ وَجْهِ اللّٰهِۜ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ يُوَفَّ اِلَيْكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تُظْلَمُونَ

You are not responsible for guiding anyone. GOD is the only one who guides whoever chooses (to be guided). Any charity you give is for your own good. Any charity you give shall be for the sake of GOD. Any charity you give will be repaid to you, without the least injustice.
273
لِلْفُقَـرَٓاءِ الَّذ۪ينَ اُحْصِرُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ لَا يَسْتَط۪يعُونَ ضَـرْباً فِي الْاَرْضِۘ يَحْسَبُهُمُ الْجَاهِلُ اَغْنِيَٓاءَ مِنَ التَّعَفُّفِۚ تَعْرِفُهُمْ بِس۪يمٰيهُمْۚ لَا يَسْـَٔلُونَ النَّاسَ اِلْحَافاًۜ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِه۪ عَل۪يمٌ۟

Charity shall go to the poor who are suffering in the cause of GOD, and cannot emigrate. The unaware may think that they are rich, due to their dignity. But you can recognize them by certain signs; they never beg from the people persistently. Whatever charity you give, GOD is fully aware thereof.
274
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يُنْفِقُونَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سِراًّ وَعَلَانِيَةً فَلَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Allatheena yunfiqoona amwalahumbillayli wannahari sirran waAAalaniyatanfalahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihim wala khawfun AAalayhim walahum yahzanoon
Those who give to charity night and day, secretly and publicly, receive their recompense from their Lord; they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
275
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبٰوا لَا يَقُومُونَ اِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذ۪ي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُٓوا اِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبٰواۢ وَاَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبٰواۜ فَمَنْ جَٓاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ فَانْتَهٰى فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَۜ وَاَمْرُهُٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِۜ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ ف۪يهَا خَالِدُونَ

Those who charge usury are in the same position as those controlled by the devil's influence. This is because they claim that usury is the same as commerce. However, GOD permits commerce, and prohibits usury. Thus, whoever heeds this commandment from his Lord, and refrains from usury, he may keep his past earnings, and his judgment rests with GOD. As for those who persist in usury, they incur Hell, wherein they abide forever.
276
يَمْحَقُ اللّٰهُ الرِّبٰوا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ اَث۪يمٍ
Yamhaqu Allahu arribawayurbee assadaqati wallahula yuhibbu kulla kaffarin atheem
GOD condemns usury, and blesses charities. GOD dislikes every disbeliever, guilty.
277
اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ لَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati waaqamoo assalatawaatawoo azzakata lahum ajruhum AAindarabbihim wala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoon
Those who believe and lead a righteous life, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), they receive their recompense from their Lord; they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
278
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَـقِيَ مِنَ الرِّبٰٓوا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooittaqoo Allaha watharoo ma baqiya mina arribain kuntum mu/mineen
O you who believe, you shall observe GOD and refrain from all kinds of usury, if you are believers.
279
فَاِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ۚ وَاِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُؤُ۫سُ اَمْوَالِكُمْۚ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ
Fa-in lam tafAAaloo fa/thanoo biharbinmina Allahi warasoolihi wa-in tubtum falakum ruoosu amwalikumla tathlimoona wala tuthlamoon
If you do not, then expect a war from GOD and His messenger. But if you repent, you may keep your capitals, without inflicting injustice, or incurring injustice.
280
وَاِنْ كَانَ ذُوعُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ اِلٰى مَيْسَرَةٍۜ وَاَنْ تَصَدَّقُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Wa-in kana thoo AAusratinfanathiratun ila maysaratin waan tasaddaqookhayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoon
If the debtor is unable to pay, wait for a better time. If you give up the loan as a charity, it would be better for you, if you only knew.
281
وَاتَّقُوا يَوْماً تُرْجَعُونَ ف۪يهِ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفّٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ۟
Wattaqoo yawman turjaAAoona feehiila Allahi thumma tuwaffa kullu nafsin makasabat wahum la yuthlamoon
Beware of the day when you are returned to GOD, and every soul is paid for everything it had done, without the least injustice.

O you who believe, when you transact a loan for any period, you shall write it down. An impartial scribe shall do the writing. No scribe shall refuse to perform this service, according to GOD's teachings. He shall write, while the debtor dictates the terms. He shall observe GOD his Lord and never cheat. If the debtor is mentally incapable, or helpless, or cannot dictate, his guardian shall dictate equitably. Two men shall serve as witnesses; if not two men, then a man and two women whose testimony is acceptable to all. Thus, if one woman becomes biased, the other will remind her. It is the obligation of the witnesses to testify when called upon to do so. Do not tire of writing the details, no matter how long, including the time of repayment. This is equitable in the sight of GOD, assures better witnessing, and eliminates any doubts you may have. Business transactions that you execute on the spot need not be recorded, but have them witnessed. No scribe or witness shall be harmed on account of his services. If you harm them, it would be wickedness on your part. You shall observe GOD, and GOD will teach you. GOD is Omniscient.,
283

If you are traveling, and no scribe is available, a bond shall be posted to guarantee repayment. If one is trusted in this manner, he shall return the bond when due, and he shall observe GOD his Lord. Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart. GOD is fully aware of everything you do.
284

To GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Whether you declare your innermost thoughts, or keep them hidden, GOD holds you responsible for them. He forgives whomever He wills, and punishes whomever He wills. GOD is Omnipotent.

The messenger has believed in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and so did the believers. They believe in GOD, His angels, His scripture, and His messengers: "We make no distinction among any of His messengers." They say, "We hear, and we obey. Forgive us, our Lord. To You is the ultimate destiny.",
286

GOD never burdens a soul beyond its means: to its credit is what it earns, and against it is what it commits. "Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make mistakes. Our Lord, and protect us from blaspheming against You, like those before us have done. Our Lord, protect us from sinning until it becomes too late for us to repent. Pardon us and forgive us. You are our Lord and Master. Grant us victory over the disbelieving people."
