1. O you who believe,
honour your contracts. Made lawful for you are all the animals of the livestock,
except that which is being recited to you, and what you are not allowed to hunt
of the game while you are under restriction. God decrees as He pleases.
2. O you who believe, do not violate God's decrees, nor the month of restrictions,
nor the guidance, nor what is tagged, nor the harmony of the restricting House
seeking a bounty from their Lord and a blessing. And when they are permitted
for you, then you may hunt. And let not the hatred of another people make you
turn away from the restricting temple that you aggress. And bond together in
piety and righteousness, and do not bind together in sin and aggression. And
be aware of God, for God's retribution is severe.
3. Forbidden to you are those that are already dead, and running blood, and
the meat of pig, and what was sacrificed to other than God, and that which has
been strangled, and that which has been beaten to death, and that which has
fallen from a height, and that which has been gored, and that which the wild
animals have eaten from except what you managed to rescue, and what has been
slaughtered on alters, and that you divide by the arrows of chance. This is
all vile. Today the rejecters have given up from your system, so do not fear
them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your system for you, and completed
My blessings upon you, and I have accepted Islam as the system for you. So,
whoever is forced by severe hunger and not seeking sin, then God is Forgiving,
Merciful.
4. They ask you what was made lawful to them, say: "All the good things
have been made lawful for you, and what the trained dogs and birds catch, you
teach them from what God teaches you. So eat from what they have captured for
you and mention God's name upon it, and be aware of God. God is quick in reckoning.
5. Today, the good things have been made lawful to you, and the food of those
who have been given the scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful
for them; and the independent from the believing women, and the independent
from the people of the scripture before you, if you have given them their dowries,
protected, chaste, and not seeking to take lovers. And whoever rejects belief,
then his work has fallen, and in the Hereafter he is of the losers.
6. O you who believe, if you rise to attend the salat, then wash your faces
and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe you heads and your feet to the ankles;
and if you are filthy, then become clean; and if you are ill or traveling or
you have excreted, or you have sexually touched the women, and you could not
find water, then you shall do ablution from clean soil; you shall wipe your
faces and your hands. God does not want to make any hardship over you, but He
wants to cleanse you and to complete His blessings upon you that you may be
appreciative.
7. And recall God's blessings over you and His covenant that He Has bound you
with, for which you have said: "We hear and obey", and be aware of
God; for God knows what is inside the chests.
8. O you who believe, stand for God and be witnesses for justice, and let not
the hatred towards a people make you avoid being just. Be just, for it is closer
to righteousness, and be aware of God. God is expert over what you do.
9. God Has promised those who believe and do right that they will have forgiveness
and a great reward.
10. And those who reject and deny Our revelations, they are the dwellers of
Hell.
11. O you who believe, recall God's blessings upon you when a group desired
to aggress against you, and God restrained their hands from you. And reverence
God. And in God the believers should put their trust.
12. God Has taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and sent from them
twelve representatives, and God said: "I am with you if you uphold the
salat, and contribute to the zakat, and believe in My messengers, and support
them, and give God a loan of righteousness; then I will cancel your sins and
admit you into gardens with rivers flowing beneath" Whoever rejects after
this from you, then he has strayed from the path.
13. But because of them breaking their covenant, We have cursed them, and made
their hearts become hardened; they take the words out of context; and they forgot
much of what they were reminded of. And you will still discover betrayal in
them except for a few; so pardon them and overlook; God loves the good doers.
14. And from among those who have said: "We are Nazarenes", We have
taken their covenant and they have forgotten much of what they were reminded
of; so We planted between them animosity and hatred till the day of resurrection;
and God will inform them of what they had done.
15. O people of the scripture, Our messenger has come to you to clarify for
you much of what you were hiding from the scripture, and to pardon over much.
A light has come to you from God and a clarifying scripture.
16. God guides with it whoever follows His acceptance, to the ways of peace;
and He brings them out of the darkness and into the light by His leave; and
He guides them to a Straight Path.
17. Rejecters indeed are those who have said: "God is the Messiah the son
of Mary". Say: "Who has any power against God if He wanted to destroy
the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother, and all who are on earth!" And
to God is the sovereignty of heavens and earth and all that is in-between; He
creates what He pleases. God is capable of all things.
18. And the Jews and the Nazarenes said: "We are God's children, and His
loved ones" Say: "Then why does He punish you for your sins?"
No, you are merely humans from what He has created. He forgives whom He pleases,
and He punishes whom He pleases. And to God is the sovereignty of heavens and
earth and all that is in-between, and to Him is the destiny.
19. O people of the scripture, Our messenger has come to clarify for you after
a lack of messengers; so that you cannot say: "No bearer of good news or
warner has come to us"; for a bearer of good news and a warner has come
to you; and God is capable of all things.
20. And Moses said to his people: "My people, remember God's favour upon
you that he made amongst you prophets, and made you kings, and he gave you what
He had not given any from the worlds."
21. "My people, enter the holy land that God Has decreed for you, and do
not turn your backs, or you will become losers".
22. They said: "O Moses, in it are a mighty people, and we will not enter
it until they leave. So when they leave, then we will enter it".
23. Two men who were among those aware, and God had bestowed upon both of them,
said: "Enter upon them through the gate, if you enter it then you will
be the victors; and put your trust in God if you are believers".
24. They said: "O Moses, we will never enter it as long as they are in
it, so go you and your Lord and fight, we will stay right here!"
25. He said: "My Lord, I do not posses except myself and my brother, so
separate between us and between the wicked people".
26. He said: "Then it has become forbidden for them for forty years, and
they will be lost in the land" Do not be sorrowful over the wicked people.
27. And recite for them the news of Adam's two sons in truth. They had both
made an offering, and it was accepted from one of them, and not accepted from
the other. He said: "I will kill you!"; he said: "God only accepts
from the righteous".
28. "If you stretch your hand to kill me, I will not stretch my hand to
kill you, for I fear God, the Lord of the worlds".
29. "I want you to have both my sin as well as your own sin, and you will
then be among the dwellers of the Fire. Such is the reward of the wicked".
30. So he found it in himself to kill his brother; so he killed him. He thus
became one of the losers.
31. So God sent forth a raven to scratch the land and show him how to deal with
the body of his brother. He said: "O my, am I not able to be like this
raven and deal with the body of my brother!" So he became of those who
regretted.
32. It is because of this that We have decreed for the Children of Israel: "Anyone
who kills a person who has not committed murder, or who has not committed corruption
in the land; then it is as if he has killed all the people! And whoever spares
a
life, then it is as if he has given life to all the people". Our messengers
had come to them with clarification, but many of them are, after this, in the
earth corrupting.
33. The recompense of those who fight God and His messenger, and seek to make
corruption in the land, is that they will be killed or crucified or that their
hands and feet be cut off on alternate sides or that they be banished from the
land; that is a disgrace for them in this world and in the Hereafter they will
have a great retribution.
34. Except for those who repent before you overpower them, then know that God
is Forgiving, Merciful.
35. O you who believe, be aware of God and seek a way to Him, and strive in
His cause; that you may succeed.
36. Those who have rejected, if they had all that is on earth and the same again
with it to ransom against the retribution of the day of resurrection, it will
not be accepted from them; and they will have a painful retribution.
37. They want to get out of the Fire, but they can never leave it; and they
will have a permanent retribution.
38. The male thief, and the female thief, you shall confiscate their belongings
as a punishment for their crime, and to serve as a deterrent from God. God is
Almighty, Wise.
39. Whoever repents after his wrongdoing and makes reparations, then God will
accept his repentance. God is Forgiving, Merciful.
40. Did you not know that God possesses the sovereignty of heavens and earth?
He punishes whom He wills and He forgives whom He wills; and God is capable
of all things.
41. O messenger, do not be saddened by those who increase in disbelief from
among those who said: "We believe" with their mouths while their hearts
did not believe. And from among the Jews, there are those who listened to lies;
they listened to another people who have not come to you; they distort the words
from their context, and they say: "If you are given this, then take it,
but if you are given anything different, then beware!" And whoever God
wants to test, then you will not posses anything for him against God. These
are the ones whose hearts God did not want to cleanse; in this world they will
have humiliation, and in the Hereafter they will have a great retribution.
42. They listen to lies, and consume many illicitly. If they come to you, then
you may judge between them or turn away from them; and if you turn away from
them then they cannot harm you in the least; and if you judge then judge, between
them with justice. God loves those who are just.
43. And how can they make you their judge when they have the Torah, in which
is God's judgment; then they turn away after that. Those are not believers.
44. We have sent down the Torah, in it is guidance and a light; the prophets
who have complied judged with it for those who are Jews, as well as the rabbis,
and the priests, for what they were entrusted of God's scripture, and they were
witness over. So do not fear the people but fear Me; and do not purchase with
My revelations a cheap price. And whoever does not judge with what God Has sent
down, then these are the rejecters.
45. And We have decreed for them in it that a life for a life, and an eye for
an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth,
and that wounds to be similar; and whoever remits anything of it, then it will
cancel sins for him; and whoever does not judge by what God Has sent down, then
these are the wicked.
46. And We sent in their footsteps Jesus the son of Mary, authenticating what
was present with him of the Torah. And We gave him the Injeel, in it is guidance
and light, and to authenticate what is present with him of the Torah, and a
guidance and lesson for the righteous.
47. And let the people of the Injeel judge with what God has sent down in it.
And whoever does not judge by what God Has sent down, then these are the vile
ones.
48. And We have sent down to you the scripture with truth, authenticating what
is present of the scripture and superseding it. So judge between them by what
God Has sent down, and do not follow their desires from what has come to you
of the truth. For each of you We have made laws, and a structure; and had God
willed, He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He
has given you; so strive to do good. To God you will return all of you, and
He will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.
49. And judge between them by what God Has sent down, and do not follow their
wishes, and beware lest they divert you away from some of what God Has sent
down to you. If they turn away, then know that God wants to inflict them with
some of their sins; and most of the people are corrupt.
50. Is it the judgment of the days of ignorance that they seek? Who is better
than God as a judge for a people that comprehend?
51. O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Nazarenes as allies, for
they are allies to one another; and whoever takes them as such from amongst
you is one of them. God does not guide the wicked people.
52. You will see those who have a disease in their hearts hurrying to them,
saying: "We fear that a disaster will befall us!" Perhaps God will
bring a victory or a decree from Himself, then they will become regretful over
what they had kept hidden within themselves.
53. And those who believe said: "Were these the ones who swore oaths by
God that they are with you?" Their works have collapsed, and they have
become losers.
54. O you who believe, whoever from among you turns away from the system, then
God will bring a people whom He loves and they love Him; humble towards the
believers, proud towards the rejecters; they strive in the cause of God and
do not fear to be blamed by those who blame. This is God's grace, He bestows
it upon whom He wills; God is Encompassing, Knowledgeable.
55. For your supporter is God and His messenger and those who believe, who uphold
the salat, and contribute to the zakat, while they are yielding.
56. And whoever allies God and His messenger and those who believe; then the
party of God are the ones who will be victorious.
57. O you who believe, do not take as allies those who have taken your system
as fun and games from among those who have been given the scripture before you
and the rejecters. And be aware of God if you are believers.
58. And if you call to the salat, they take it as fun and games. That is because
they are a people who do not understand.
59. Say: "O people of the scripture, do you hate us simply because we believe
in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down before?"
Alas, most of them are vile.
60. Say: "Shall I inform you of worse than this as a punishment from God?
Those who God cursed and became angry at them, and He made from them apes and
pigs and servants of evil. Those have a worst place and are more astray from
the right path".
61. And if they come to you they say: "We believe", while they had
entered in with rejection and went out with the same. God is aware of what they
were hiding.
62. And you see many of them hasten to sin and transgression and consuming money
illicitly. Miserable indeed is what they were doing.
63. If the rabbis and priests did not stop them for speaking evil and consuming
money illicitly. Miserable indeed is what they had done.
64. And the Jews said: "The hand of God is tied-down!" Their hands
will be tied-down, and they will be cursed for what they have said. No, His
hands are wide open spending as He wills. And for many of them, what has been
sent down to you will increase them in rebellion and rejection; and We have
cast between them animosity and hatred until the day of resurrection. Every
time they light the fire of war, God puts it out; and they seek to make corruption
in the land; and God does not like the corrupters.
65. And if the people of the scripture only would have believed and been aware,
We would have cancelled for them their sins and admitted them to gardens of
paradise.
66. And if they had upheld the Torah and the Injeel, and what was sent down
to them from their Lord, they would have been able rewarded from above them
and below their feet. From among them is a pious nation, but most of them only
do evil.
67. O messenger, deliver what was sent down to you from your Lord, and if you
do not then you have not delivered His message; and God will protect you from
the people. God does not guide the disbelieving people.
68. Say: "O people of the scripture, you are about nothing until you uphold
the Torah and the Injeel and what was sent down to you from your Lord"
And for many of them, what was sent down to you from your Lord will only increase
them in transgression and rejection. So do not feel sorry for the rejecting
people.
69. Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Converts, and the Nazarenes:
"Whoever of them believes in God and the last day and does good works,
then they will have nothing to fear nor will they grieve".
70. We have taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and We sent to them
Our messengers. Every time a messenger came to them with what their souls did
not desire, a group of them would reject, and a group of them would commit murder.
71. And they did not think it would be a test, so they were blind and deaf.
But God would have accepted the repentance from them; but many of them were
still blind and deaf. God is watcher over what they do.
72. Rejecters indeed are those who have said: "God is the Messiah son of
Mary" And the Messiah said: "O Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord
and your Lord. Whoever sets-up partners with God, then He will forbid Paradise
for him, and his destiny will be the Fire; and the wicked will have no supporters".
73. Rejecters indeed are those who have said: "God is a trinity";
there is no god but One god. If they do not cease from what they are saying,
then those who reject from among them will be afflicted with painful retribution.
74. Would they not repent to God and seek His forgiveness? God is Forgiving,
Merciful.
75. The Messiah son of Mary, is no more than a messenger, like whom messengers
have passed away, and his mother was trustworthy, they used to eat the food.
See how We clarify the signs for them, then see how they deviate.
76. Say: "Do you serve other than God what cannot harm you or benefit you?"
God is the Hearer, the Knower.
77. Say: "O followers of the scripture, do not overstep in your system
other than the truth, and do not follow the desires of a people who have been
misguided before, and they misguide many; and they strayed from the right path"
78. Cursed are those who have rejected from among the Children of Israel through
the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is for what they have disobeyed,
and for what they transgressed.
79. They would not stop each other from doing sin. Wickedness is what they used
to do.
80. You see many of them allying the rejecters. Wicked is what their souls have
provided for them, for God's wrath is upon them, and in the retribution they
will abide.
81. And if they had only believed in God and the prophet, and what was sent
down to him, then they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them
are corrupt.
82. You will find the people with greatest animosity towards those who believe
are the Jews and those who set-up partners; and you will find the closest in
affection to those who believe are those who said: "We are Nazarenes";
that is because amongst them are Priests and Monks, and they are not arrogant.
83. And if they hear what was sent down to the messenger you see their eyes
flooding with tears, for what they have known as the truth, they say: "Our
Lord, we believe, so record us with the witnesses".
84. "And why shouldn't we believe in God and what has come to us of the
truth? And we yearn that our Lord admits us with the righteous people".
85. So God rewarded them for what they have said with gardens that have rivers
flowing beneath them, in it they shall abide; such is the reward of the good
doers.
86. And those who rejected and denied Our revelations; they are the dwellers
of Hell.
87. O you who believe, do not forbid the good things that God has made lawful
to you, and do not aggress; God does not like the aggressors.
88. And eat from what He has provided for you, good and lawful; and be aware
of God in whom you believe.
89. God will not hold you for your unintentional oaths, but He will hold you
for what oaths you have made binding; its cancellation shall be the feeding
of ten poor from the average of what you feed your family, or that you clothe
them, or that you free a slave; whoever cannot find shall fast for three days;
this is a cancellation for making your oaths when you swear. And be careful
from making oaths. It is such that God clarifies for you His revelations that
you may be thankful.
90. O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and altars, and arrows of
chance are an abomination from the work of the devil. You shall avoid them so
that you may be successful.
91. The devil only wants to cause strife between you with intoxicants and gambling,
and to repel you away from remembering God and from the salat. Will you then
give these things up?
92. And obey God and obey the messenger, and be wary. If you turn away then
know that it is the duty of the messenger to deliver the clarity.
93. There is no sin upon those who believe and do good works for what they ate
if they are aware and believe and do good work, then they are aware and believe,
then they are aware and do good; God loves the good doers.
94. O you who believe, God will test you with some of the game for hunting coming
within reach of your hands and your spears, so that God will know who reveres
Him when unseen. Whoever aggresses after this, then he will have a painful retribution.
95. O you who believe, do not kill any game while you are restricted; and whosoever
of you kills it deliberately, then the recompense is to expiate with the same
from the livestock, to be judged by one with justice of you in the form of a
fine which shall reach the Kaab'a; or its cancellation shall be the feeding
of needy ones, or its equivalent in fasting, that is to taste the results of
his deed; God forgives what has past. And whosoever returns, then God will seek
vengeance from him. God is Noble, capable of vengeance.
96. Lawful for you is the catch of the sea, to eat it as enjoyment for you and
for those who travel; and forbidden for you is the catch of the land as long
as you are under restriction; and be aware of God to whom you will be gathered.
97. God Has made the Kaab'a the restricting House, as a standing for the people,
and the month of restrictions, and the guidance, and what is posted; that is
so you know that God knows what is in heavens and what is in earth, and that
God is aware of all things.
98. Know that God is powerful in retribution, and that God is Forgiving, Merciful.
99. The messenger is only to deliver. And God knows what you reveal and what
you conceal.
100. Say: "The bad and the good are not equal, even if the abundance of
the bad pleases you" So be aware of God, O you who have understanding,
that you may succeed.
101. O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if revealed to you, would
harm you; and if you ask about them after the Quran has been sent down, then
they will become clear to you. God pardons for them, and God is Forgiving, Compassionate.
102. A people before you had asked the same, then they became rejecters in it.
103. God did not institute any combination of livestock, nor livestock liberated
for oaths, nor ones that give twin births, nor a stallion freed from work; but
the people who rejected invented lies to God, and most of them do not understand.
104. And if they are told: "Come to what God has sent down, and to the
messenger"; they say: "We are content with what we found our fathers
doing" What if their fathers did not know anything nor were guided?
105. O you who believe, you are responsible for yourselves; none who are misguided
can harm you if you are guided. To God is your return, all of you, and then
He will inform you of what you have done.
106. O you who believe, a testimony is required between you if death comes to
one of you and he makes a will; two who are just amongst you, or two others.
If you are travelling in the land and death has come to you; you will hold them
after the salat, and they will swear by God if you have doubt, they will not
purchase with it any price, even if he was a near relative, and that we will
not conceal the testimony of God, or else we are then of the sinners.
107. If it is then found out that they had lied, then two others will take their
place from those who were present, and they will swear by God: "Our testimony
is more truthful than their testimony, and if we aggress, then we are of the
wicked"
108. This is best so that they would bring the testimony on its face value,
or fear that oaths will come after their oaths. And be aware of God, and listen;
God does not guide the wicked people.
109. The day God will gather the messengers and He will say: "What was
the response you received?"; they said: "We have no knowledge, you
are the Knower of all the unseen"
110. God said: "O Jesus son of Mary, recall My blessings upon you and your
mother that I supported you with the Holy Spirit; you spoke to the people in
the cradle and in old age; and I taught you the scripture and the wisdom, and
the Torah, and the Injeel; and you would create from clay the shape of a bird,
then blow into it and it becomes a bird by My leave; and you healed the blind
and the leaper by My leave; and you brought out the dead by My leave; and I
have restrained the Children of Israel from you, that you came to them with
proofs, but those who rejected amongst them said: "This is clearly magic!"
111. And I inspired the disciples that you shall believe in Me and My messenger;
they said: "We believe, and bear witness that we are compliant".
112. And the disciples said: "O Jesus son of Mary, can your Lord send down
for us a feast from heaven?" He said: "Be aware of God if you are
believers".
113. They said: "We want to eat from it and so our hearts become relieved,
and so we know that you are truthful, and so that we become a witness over it".
114. Jesus son of Mary, said: "O God, send down to us a feast from heaven,
that it becomes a joy to us from the first to the last, and a sign from You,
and provide for us, you are the best provider".
115. God said: "I will send it down to you, but whoever rejects after this
from amongst you, I will punish him a punishment like no one from the worlds
will be punished!"
116. And God will say to Jesus son of Mary: "Did you tell the people to
take you and your mother as gods instead of God?" He said: "Be you
glorified, I cannot say what I have no right of. If I had said it then you know
it, you know what is in my soul while I do not know what is in your soul. You
are the Knower of the unseen".
117. "I only said to them what You commanded me to say, that you shall
serve God my Lord and your Lord; and I was witness over them as long as I was
with them, but when You made me die, You were watcher over them. You are witness
over all things".
118. "If you punish them, then they are your servants, and if you forgive
them, then you are the Noble, Wise".
119. God will say: "This is a day when the truth will benefit the truthful;
they will have gardens with rivers flowing beneath, eternally they will abide
therein; God Has become pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. Such
is the greatest victory"
120. To God is the sovereignty of heavens and earth and all that is in them;
and He is capable of all things.
