بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَوۡفُواْ بِٱلۡعُقُودِ ۚ أُحِلَّتۡ لَكُم بَهِيمَةُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ إِلَّا مَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَيۡرَ مُحِلِّي ٱلصَّيۡدِ وَ أَنتُمۡ حُرُمٌ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحۡكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ﴿١﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo awfoo bialʿuqoodi ohillat lakum baheematu alanʿami illa ma yutla ʿalaykum ghayra muhillee alssaydi waantum hurumun inna Allaha yahkumu ma yureedu
O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts. Lawful for you are the animals of grazing livestock except for that which is recited to you [in this Qur’ān] - hunting not being permitted while you are in the state of iḥrām. Indeed, Allāh ordains what He intends.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُحِلُّواْ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ وَ لَا ٱلشَّهۡرَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ وَ لَا ٱلۡهَدۡيَ وَ لَا ٱلۡقَلَٰٓئِدَ وَ لَآ ءَآمِّينَ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ يَبۡتَغُونَ فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَ رِضۡوَٰنࣰا ۚ وَ إِذَا حَلَلۡتُمۡ فَٱصۡطَادُواْ ۚ وَ لَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ أَن تَعۡتَدُواْ ۘ وَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ ۖ وَ لَا تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَ ٱلۡعُدۡوَٰنِ ۚ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ﴿٢﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tuhilloo shaʿaira Allahi wala alshshahra alharama wala alhadya wala alqalaida wala ammeena albayta alharama yabtaghoona fadlan min rabbihim waridwanan waitha halaltum faistadoo wala yajrimannakum shanaanu qawmin an saddookum ʿani almasjidi alharami an taʿtadoo wataʿawanoo ʿala albirri waalttaqwa wala taʿawanoo ʿala alithmi waalʿudwani waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha shadeedu alʿiqabi
O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allāh or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of iḥrām, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty.
حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ وَ ٱلدَّمُ وَ لَحۡمُ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ وَ مَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ وَ ٱلۡمُنۡخَنِقَةُ وَ ٱلۡمَوۡقُوذَةُ وَ ٱلۡمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَ ٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَ مَآ أَكَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيۡتُمۡ وَ مَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَ أَن تَسۡتَقۡسِمُواْ بِٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ فِسۡقٌ ۗ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن دِينِكُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَ ٱخۡشَوۡنِ ۚ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أَكۡمَلۡتُ لَكُمۡ دِينَكُمۡ وَ أَتۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِي وَ رَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمَ دِينࣰا ۚ فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ فِي مَخۡمَصَةٍ غَيۡرَ مُتَجَانِفࣲ لِّإِثۡمࣲ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿٣﴾
Hurrimat ʿalaykumu almaytatu waalddamu walahmu alkhinzeeri wama ohilla lighayri Allahi bihi waalmunkhaniqatu waalmawqoothatu waalmutaraddiyatu waalnnateehatu wama akala alssabuʿu illa ma thakkaytum wama thubiha ʿala alnnusubi waan tastaqsimoo bialazlami thalikum fisqun alyawma yaisa allatheena kafaroo min deenikum fala takhshawhum waikhshawni alyawma akmaltu lakum deenakum waatmamtu ʿalaykum niʿmatee waradeetu lakumu alislama deenan famani idturra fee makhmasatin ghayra mutajanifin liithmin fainna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islām as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَآ أُحِلَّ لَهُمۡ ۖ قُلۡ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ وَ مَا عَلَّمۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَكُلُواْ مِمَّآ أَمۡسَكۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ ٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ ۖ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ﴿٤﴾
Yasaloonaka matha ohilla lahum qul ohilla lakumu alttayyibatu wama ʿallamtum mina aljawarihi mukallibeena tuʿallimoonahunna mimma ʿallamakumu Allahu fakuloo mimma amsakna ʿalaykum waothkuroo isma Allahi ʿalayhi waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha sareeʿu alhisabi
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as Allāh has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allāh upon it, and fear Allāh." Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ ۖ وَ طَعَامُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ حِلࣱّ لَّكُمۡ وَ طَعَامُكُمۡ حِلࣱّ لَّهُمۡ ۖ وَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ إِذَآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحۡصِنِينَ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحِينَ وَ لَا مُتَّخِذِيٓ أَخۡدَانࣲ ۗ وَ مَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ فَقَدۡ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۥ وَ هُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ﴿٥﴾
Alyawma ohilla lakumu alttayyibatu wataʿamu allatheena ootoo alkitaba hillun lakum wataʿamukum hillun lahum waalmuhsanatu mina almuminati waalmuhsanatu mina allatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablikum itha ataytumoohunna ojoorahunna muhsineena ghayra musafiheena wala muttakhithee akhdanin waman yakfur bialeemani faqad habita ʿamaluhu wahuwa fee alakhirati mina alkhasireena
This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا قُمۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغۡسِلُواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡمَرَافِقِ وَ ٱمۡسَحُواْ بِرُءُوسِكُمۡ وَ أَرۡجُلَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡكَعۡبَيۡنِ ۚ وَ إِن كُنتُمۡ جُنُبࣰا فَٱطَّهَّرُواْ ۚ وَ إِن كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰٓ أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوۡ جَآءَ أَحَدࣱ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡغَآئِطِ أَوۡ لَٰمَسۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمۡ تَجِدُواْ مَآءࣰ فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدࣰا طَيِّبࣰا فَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمۡ وَ أَيۡدِيكُم مِّنۡهُ ۚ مَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيَجۡعَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡ حَرَجࣲ وَ لَٰكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ وَ لِيُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ﴿٦﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo itha qumtum ila alssalati faighsiloo wujoohakum waaydiyakum ila almarafiqi waimsahoo biruoosikum waarjulakum ila alkaʿbayni wain kuntum junuban faittahharoo wain kuntum marda aw ʿala safarin aw jaa ahadun minkum mina alghaiti aw lamastumu alnnisaa falam tajidoo maan fatayammamoo saʿeedan tayyiban faimsahoo biwujoohikum waaydeekum minhu ma yureedu Allahu liyajʿala ʿalaykum min harajin walakin yureedu liyutahhirakum waliyutimma niʿmatahu ʿalaykum laʿallakum tashkuroona
O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janābah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allāh does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
وَ ٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ مِيثَٰقَهُ ٱلَّذِي وَاثَقَكُم بِهِۦٓ إِذۡ قُلۡتُمۡ سَمِعۡنَا وَ أَطَعۡنَا ۖ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ﴿٧﴾
Waothkuroo niʿmata Allahi ʿalaykum wameethaqahu allathee wathaqakum bihi ith qultum samiʿna waataʿna waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha ʿaleemun bithati alssudoori
And remember the favor of Allāh upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٰمِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ ۖ وَ لَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْ ۚ ٱعۡدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ ۖ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿٨﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo koonoo qawwameena lillahi shuhadaa bialqisti wala yajrimannakum shanaanu qawmin ʿala alla taʿdiloo iʿdiloo huwa aqrabu lilttaqwa waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha khabeerun bima taʿmaloona
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allāh, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةࣱ وَ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمࣱ﴿٩﴾
Waʿada Allahu allatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati lahum maghfiratun waajrun ʿatheemun
Allāh has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds [that] for them there is forgiveness and great reward.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿١٠﴾
Waallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina olaika ashabu aljaheemi
But those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those are the companions of Hellfire.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ هَمَّ قَوۡمٌ أَن يَبۡسُطُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكُمۡ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ فَكَفَّ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ عَنكُمۡ ۖ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ۚ وَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿١١﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo othkuroo niʿmata Allahi ʿalaykum ith hamma qawmun an yabsutoo ilaykum aydiyahum fakaffa aydiyahum ʿankum waittaqoo Allaha waʿala Allahi falyatawakkali almuminoona
O you who have believed, remember the favor of Allāh upon you when a people determined to extend their hands [in aggression] against you, but He withheld their hands from you; and fear Allāh. And upon Allāh let the believers rely.
وَ لَقَدۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَ بَعَثۡنَا مِنۡهُمُ ٱثۡنَيۡ عَشَرَ نَقِيبࣰا ۖ وَ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّي مَعَكُمۡ ۖ لَئِنۡ أَقَمۡتُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَ ءَاتَيۡتُمُ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَ ءَامَنتُم بِرُسُلِي وَ عَزَّرۡتُمُوهُمۡ وَ أَقۡرَضۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنࣰا لَّأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنكُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمۡ وَ لَأُدۡخِلَنَّكُمۡ جَنَّٰتࣲ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ ۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ مِنكُمۡ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ﴿١٢﴾
Walaqad akhatha Allahu meethaqa banee israeela wabaʿathna minhumu ithnay ʿashara naqeeban waqala Allahu innee maʿakum lain aqamtumu alssalata waataytumu alzzakata waamantum birusulee waʿazzartumoohum waaqradtumu Allaha qardan hasanan laokaffiranna ʿankum sayyiatikum walaodkhilannakum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu faman kafara baʿda thalika minkum faqad dalla sawaa alssabeeli
And Allāh had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We delegated from among them twelve leaders. And Allāh said, "I am with you. If you establish prayer and give zakāh and believe in My messengers and support them and loan Allāh a goodly loan, I will surely remove from you your misdeeds and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever of you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way."
فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمۡ لَعَنَّٰهُمۡ وَ جَعَلۡنَا قُلُوبَهُمۡ قَٰسِيَةࣰ ۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَ نَسُواْ حَظࣰّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦ ۚ وَ لَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَىٰ خَآئِنَةࣲ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ ۖ فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَ ٱصۡفَحۡ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿١٣﴾
Fabima naqdihim meethaqahum laʿannahum wajaʿalna quloobahum qasiyatan yuharrifoona alkalima ʿan mawadiʿihi wanasoo haththan mimma thukkiroo bihi wala tazalu tattaliʿu ʿala khainatin minhum illa qaleelan minhum faoʿfu ʿanhum waisfah inna Allaha yuhibbu almuhsineena
So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hardened. They distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.
وَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا نَصَٰرَىٰٓ أَخَذۡنَا مِيثَٰقَهُمۡ فَنَسُواْ حَظࣰّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦ فَأَغۡرَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ ٱلۡعَدَاوَةَ وَ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ وَ سَوۡفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ﴿١٤﴾
Wamina allatheena qaloo inna nasara akhathna meethaqahum fanasoo haththan mimma thukkiroo bihi faaghrayna baynahumu alʿadawata waalbaghdaa ila yawmi alqiyamati wasawfa yunabbiohumu Allahu bima kanoo yasnaʿoona
And from those who say, "We are Christians" We took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded. So We caused among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. And Allāh is going to inform them about what they used to do.
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمۡ كَثِيرࣰا مِّمَّا كُنتُمۡ تُخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَ يَعۡفُواْ عَن كَثِيرࣲ ۚ قَدۡ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورࣱ وَ كِتَٰبࣱ مُّبِينࣱ﴿١٥﴾
Ya ahla alkitabi qad jaakum rasooluna yubayyinu lakum katheeran mimma kuntum tukhfoona mina alkitabi wayaʿfoo ʿan katheerin qad jaakum mina Allahi noorun wakitabun mubeenun
O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allāh a light and a clear Book [i.e., the Qur’ān]
يَهۡدِي بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَ يُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذۡنِهِۦ وَ يَهۡدِيهِمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطࣲ مُّسۡتَقِيمࣲ﴿١٦﴾
Yahdee bihi Allahu mani ittabaʿa ridwanahu subula alssalami wayukhrijuhum mina alththulumati ila alnnoori biithnihi wayahdeehim ila siratin mustaqeemin
By which Allāh guides those who pursue His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path.
لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ ۚ قُلۡ فَمَن يَمۡلِكُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـًٔا إِنۡ أَرَادَ أَن يُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَ أُمَّهُۥ وَ مَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعࣰا ۗ وَ لِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ مَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ قَدِيرࣱ﴿١٧﴾
Laqad kafara allatheena qaloo inna Allaha huwa almaseehu ibnu maryama qul faman yamliku mina Allahi shayan in arada an yuhlika almaseeha ibna maryama waommahu waman fee alardi jameeʿan walillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma yakhluqu ma yashao waAllahu ʿala kulli shayin qadeerun
They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.
وَ قَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ وَ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ نَحۡنُ أَبۡنَٰٓؤُاْ ٱللَّهِ وَ أَحِبَّٰٓؤُهُۥ ۚ قُلۡ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُم ۖ بَلۡ أَنتُم بَشَرࣱ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَ ۚ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَ يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ لِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ مَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ۖ وَ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ﴿١٨﴾
Waqalati alyahoodu waalnnasara nahnu abnao Allahi waahibbaohu qul falima yuʿaththibukum bithunoobikum bal antum basharun mimman khalaqa yaghfiru liman yashao wayuʿaththibu man yashao walillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma wailayhi almaseeru
But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allāh and His beloved." Say, "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ فَتۡرَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنۢ بَشِيرࣲ وَ لَا نَذِيرࣲ ۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بَشِيرࣱ وَ نَذِيرࣱ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ قَدِيرࣱ﴿١٩﴾
Ya ahla alkitabi qad jaakum rasooluna yubayyinu lakum ʿala fatratin mina alrrusuli an taqooloo ma jaana min basheerin wala natheerin faqad jaakum basheerun wanatheerun waAllahu ʿala kulli shayin qadeerun
O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allāh is over all things competent.
وَ إِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ جَعَلَ فِيكُمۡ أَنۢبِيَآءَ وَ جَعَلَكُم مُّلُوكࣰا وَ ءَاتَىٰكُم مَّا لَمۡ يُؤۡتِ أَحَدࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٢٠﴾
Waith qala moosa liqawmihi ya qawmi othkuroo niʿmata Allahi ʿalaykum ith jaʿala feekum anbiyaa wajaʿalakum mulookan waatakum ma lam yuti ahadan mina alʿalameena
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, remember the favor of Allāh upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds.
يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسَةَ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ وَ لَا تَرۡتَدُّواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَارِكُمۡ فَتَنقَلِبُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ﴿٢١﴾
Ya qawmi odkhuloo alarda almuqaddasata allatee kataba Allahu lakum wala tartaddoo ʿala adbarikum fatanqaliboo khasireena
O my people, enter the blessed land [i.e., Palestine] which Allāh has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allāh's cause] and [thus] become losers."
قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ فِيهَا قَوۡمࣰا جَبَّارِينَ وَ إِنَّا لَن نَّدۡخُلَهَا حَتَّىٰ يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا فَإِن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّا دَٰخِلُونَ﴿٢٢﴾
Qaloo ya moosa inna feeha qawman jabbareena wainna lan nadkhulaha hatta yakhrujoo minha fain yakhrujoo minha fainna dakhiloona
They said, "O Moses, indeed within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it; but if they leave it, then we will enter."
قَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمَا ٱدۡخُلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلۡتُمُوهُ فَإِنَّكُمۡ غَٰلِبُونَ ۚ وَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوٓاْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿٢٣﴾
Qala rajulani mina allatheena yakhafoona anʿama Allahu ʿalayhima odkhuloo ʿalayhimu albaba faitha dakhaltumoohu fainnakum ghaliboona waʿala Allahi fatawakkaloo in kuntum mumineena
Said two men from those who feared [to disobey] upon whom Allāh had bestowed favor, "Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be predominant. And upon Allāh rely, if you should be believers."
قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَن نَّدۡخُلَهَآ أَبَدࣰا مَّا دَامُواْ فِيهَا فَٱذۡهَبۡ أَنتَ وَ رَبُّكَ فَقَٰتِلَآ إِنَّا هَٰهُنَا قَٰعِدُونَ﴿٢٤﴾
Qaloo ya moosa inna lan nadkhulaha abadan ma damoo feeha faithhab anta warabbuka faqatila inna hahuna qaʿidoona
They said, "O Moses, indeed we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here."
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لَآ أَمۡلِكُ إِلَّا نَفۡسِي وَ أَخِي ۖ فَٱفۡرُقۡ بَيۡنَنَا وَ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ﴿٢٥﴾
Qala rabbi innee la amliku illa nafsee waakhee faofruq baynana wabayna alqawmi alfasiqeena
[Moses] said, "My Lord, indeed I do not possess [i.e., control] except myself and my brother, so part us from the defiantly disobedient people."
قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۛ أَرۡبَعِينَ سَنَةࣰ ۛ يَتِيهُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ﴿٢٦﴾
Qala fainnaha muharramatun ʿalayhim arbaʿeena sanatan yateehoona fee alardi fala tasa ʿala alqawmi alfasiqeena
[Allāh] said, "Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people."
وَ ٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ ٱبۡنَيۡ ءَادَمَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ إِذۡ قَرَّبَا قُرۡبَانࣰا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِمَا وَ لَمۡ يُتَقَبَّلۡ مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخَرِ قَالَ لَأَقۡتُلَنَّكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ﴿٢٧﴾

And recite to them the story of Adam's two sons, in truth, when they both made an offering [to Allāh], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other. Said [the latter], "I will surely kill you." Said [the former], "Indeed, Allāh only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him].
لَئِنۢ بَسَطتَ إِلَيَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقۡتُلَنِي مَآ أَنَا۠ بِبَاسِطࣲ يَدِيَ إِلَيۡكَ لِأَقۡتُلَكَ ۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿٢٨﴾
Lain basatta ilayya yadaka litaqtulanee ma ana bibasitin yadiya ilayka liaqtulaka innee akhafu Allaha rabba alʿalameena
If you should raise your hand toward me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand toward you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
إِنِّيٓ أُرِيدُ أَن تَبُوٓأَ بِإِثۡمِي وَ إِثۡمِكَ فَتَكُونَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ ۚ وَ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٢٩﴾
Innee oreedu an tabooa biithmee waithmika fatakoona min ashabi alnnari wathalika jazao alththalimeena
Indeed, I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers."
فَطَوَّعَتۡ لَهُۥ نَفۡسُهُۥ قَتۡلَ أَخِيهِ فَقَتَلَهُۥ فَأَصۡبَحَ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ﴿٣٠﴾
Fatawwaʿat lahu nafsuhu qatla akheehi faqatalahu faasbaha mina alkhasireena
And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers.
فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابࣰا يَبۡحَثُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيۡفَ يُوَٰرِي سَوۡءَةَ أَخِيهِ ۚ قَالَ يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِثۡلَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِيَ سَوۡءَةَ أَخِي ۖ فَأَصۡبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّٰدِمِينَ﴿٣١﴾

Then Allāh sent a crow searching [i.e., scratching] in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the disgrace [i.e., body] of my brother?" And he became of the regretful.
مِنۡ أَجۡلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبۡنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَنَّهُۥ مَن قَتَلَ نَفۡسَۢا بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٍ أَوۡ فَسَادࣲ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعࣰا وَ مَنۡ أَحۡيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَآ أَحۡيَا ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعࣰا ۚ وَ لَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنۡهُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَمُسۡرِفُونَ﴿٣٢﴾

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And Our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
إِنَّمَا جَزَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُۥ وَ يَسۡعَوۡنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَسَادًا أَن يُقَتَّلُوٓاْ أَوۡ يُصَلَّبُوٓاْ أَوۡ تُقَطَّعَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَ أَرۡجُلُهُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٍ أَوۡ يُنفَوۡاْ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لَهُمۡ خِزۡيࣱ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا ۖ وَ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴿٣٣﴾

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allāh and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَقۡدِرُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۖ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿٣٤﴾
Illa allatheena taboo min qabli an taqdiroo ʿalayhim faiʿlamoo anna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun
Except for those who return [repenting] before you overcome [i.e., apprehend] them. And know that Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ ٱبۡتَغُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ وَ جَٰهِدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ﴿٣٥﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo Allaha waibtaghoo ilayhi alwaseelata wajahidoo fee sabeelihi laʿallakum tuflihoona
O you who have believed, fear Allāh and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعࣰا وَ مِثۡلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لِيَفۡتَدُواْ بِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنۡهُمۡ ۖ وَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ﴿٣٦﴾
Inna allatheena kafaroo law anna lahum ma fee alardi jameeʿan wamithlahu maʿahu liyaftadoo bihi min ʿathabi yawmi alqiyamati ma tuqubbila minhum walahum ʿathabun aleemun
Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment.
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَ مَا هُم بِخَٰرِجِينَ مِنۡهَا ۖ وَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ مُّقِيمࣱ﴿٣٧﴾
Yureedoona an yakhrujoo mina alnnari wama hum bikharijeena minha walahum ʿathabun muqeemun
They will wish to get out of the Fire, but never are they to emerge therefrom, and for them is an enduring punishment.
وَ ٱلسَّارِقُ وَ ٱلسَّارِقَةُ فَٱقۡطَعُوٓاْ أَيۡدِيَهُمَا جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَٰلࣰا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمࣱ﴿٣٨﴾
Waalssariqu waalssariqatu faiqtaʿoo aydiyahuma jazaan bima kasaba nakalan mina Allahi waAllahu ʿazeezun hakeemun
[As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they earned [i.e., committed] as a deterrent [punishment] from Allāh. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
فَمَن تَابَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ظُلۡمِهِۦ وَ أَصۡلَحَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَتُوبُ عَلَيۡهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمٌ﴿٣٩﴾
Faman taba min baʿdi thulmihi waaslaha fainna Allaha yatoobu ʿalayhi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun
But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allāh will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ قَدِيرࣱ﴿٤٠﴾
Alam taʿlam anna Allaha lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi yuʿaththibu man yashao wayaghfiru liman yashao waAllahu ʿala kulli shayin qadeerun
Do you not know that to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He wills and forgives whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ لَا يَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَ لَمۡ تُؤۡمِن قُلُوبُهُمۡ ۛ وَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ ۛ سَمَّٰعُونَ لِلۡكَذِبِ سَمَّٰعُونَ لِقَوۡمٍ ءَاخَرِينَ لَمۡ يَأۡتُوكَ ۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَوَاضِعِهِۦ ۖ يَقُولُونَ إِنۡ أُوتِيتُمۡ هَٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَ إِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡتَوۡهُ فَٱحۡذَرُواْ ۚ وَ مَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ فِتۡنَتَهُۥ فَلَن تَمۡلِكَ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـًٔا ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمۡ ۚ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيࣱ ۖ وَ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمࣱ﴿٤١﴾

O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief – of those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [proper] places [i.e., usages], saying, "If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he for whom Allāh intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allāh. Those are the ones for whom Allāh does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.
سَمَّٰعُونَ لِلۡكَذِبِ أَكَّٰلُونَ لِلسُّحۡتِ ۚ فَإِن جَآءُوكَ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَوۡ أَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ ۖ وَ إِن تُعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ فَلَن يَضُرُّوكَ شَيۡـࣰٔا ۖ وَ إِنۡ حَكَمۡتَ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُقۡسِطِينَ﴿٤٢﴾
Sammaʿoona lilkathibi akkaloona lilssuhti fain jaooka faohkum baynahum aw aʿrid ʿanhum wain tuʿrid ʿanhum falan yadurrooka shayan wain hakamta faohkum baynahum bialqisti inna Allaha yuhibbu almuqsiteena
[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muḥammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly.
وَ كَيۡفَ يُحَكِّمُونَكَ وَ عِندَهُمُ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُ فِيهَا حُكۡمُ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَ مَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿٤٣﴾
Wakayfa yuhakkimoonaka waʿindahumu alttawratu feeha hukmu Allahi thumma yatawallawna min baʿdi thalika wama olaika bialmumineena
But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allāh? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدࣰى وَ نُورࣱ ۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَ ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَ ٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَ كَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَ ۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَ ٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَ لَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِي ثَمَنࣰا قَلِيلࣰا ۚ وَ مَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ﴿٤٤﴾

Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allāh] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allāh, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price [i.e., worldly gain]. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.
وَ كَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ فِيهَآ أَنَّ ٱلنَّفۡسَ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ وَ ٱلۡعَيۡنَ بِٱلۡعَيۡنِ وَ ٱلۡأَنفَ بِٱلۡأَنفِ وَ ٱلۡأُذُنَ بِٱلۡأُذُنِ وَ ٱلسِّنَّ بِٱلسِّنِّ وَ ٱلۡجُرُوحَ قِصَاصࣱ ۚ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةࣱ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَ مَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ﴿٤٥﴾

And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].
وَ قَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ مُصَدِّقࣰا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ ۖ وَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدࣰى وَ نُورࣱ وَ مُصَدِّقࣰا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَ هُدࣰى وَ مَوۡعِظَةࣰ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ﴿٤٦﴾

And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.
وَ لۡيَحۡكُمۡ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلِ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِ ۚ وَ مَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ﴿٤٧﴾
Walyahkum ahlu alinjeeli bima anzala Allahu feehi waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alfasiqoona
And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allāh has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.
وَ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقࣰا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَ مُهَيۡمِنًا عَلَيۡهِ ۖ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ عَمَّا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ۚ لِكُلࣲّ جَعَلۡنَا مِنكُمۡ شِرۡعَةࣰ وَ مِنۡهَاجࣰا ۚ وَ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمۡ أُمَّةࣰ وَٰحِدَةࣰ وَ لَٰكِن لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِي مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡ ۖ فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ ۚ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعࣰا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ﴿٤٨﴾

And We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allāh has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allāh willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allāh is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.
وَ أَنِ ٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَ ٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡ أَن يَفۡتِنُوكَ عَنۢ بَعۡضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡكَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُصِيبَهُم بِبَعۡضِ ذُنُوبِهِمۡ ۗ وَ إِنَّ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَفَٰسِقُونَ﴿٤٩﴾
Waani ohkum baynahum bima anzala Allahu wala tattabiʿ ahwaahum waihtharhum an yaftinooka ʿan baʿdi ma anzala Allahu ilayka fain tawallaw faiʿlam annama yureedu Allahu an yuseebahum bibaʿdi thunoobihim wainna katheeran mina alnnasi lafasiqoona
And judge, [O Muḥammad], between them by what Allāh has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allāh has revealed to you. And if they turn away - then know that Allāh only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient.
أَفَحُكۡمَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِيَّةِ يَبۡغُونَ ۚ وَ مَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حُكۡمࣰا لِّقَوۡمࣲ يُوقِنُونَ﴿٥٠﴾
Afahukma aljahiliyyati yabghoona waman ahsanu mina Allahu hukman liqawmin yooqinoona
Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allāh in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith].
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلۡيَهُودَ وَ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ۘ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضࣲ ۚ وَ مَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمۡ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنۡهُمۡ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿٥١﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo alyahooda waalnnasara awliyaa baʿduhum awliyao baʿdin waman yatawallahum minkum fainnahu minhum inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allāh guides not the wrongdoing people.
فَتَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضࣱ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِيهِمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَخۡشَىٰٓ أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَآئِرَةࣱ ۚ فَعَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأۡتِيَ بِٱلۡفَتۡحِ أَوۡ أَمۡرࣲ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦ فَيُصۡبِحُواْ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَسَرُّواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ نَٰدِمِينَ﴿٥٢﴾
Fatara allatheena fee quloobihim maradun yusariʿoona feehim yaqooloona nakhsha an tuseebana dairatun faʿasa Allahu an yatiya bialfathi aw amrin min ʿindihi fayusbihoo ʿala ma asarroo fee anfusihim nadimeena
So you see those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allāh will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.
وَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡ ۚ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ﴿٥٣﴾
Wayaqoolu allatheena amanoo ahaolai allatheena aqsamoo biAllahi jahda aymanihim innahum lamaʿakum habitat aʿmaluhum faasbahoo khasireena
And those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allāh their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَن يَرۡتَدَّ مِنكُمۡ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوۡفَ يَأۡتِي ٱللَّهُ بِقَوۡمࣲ يُحِبُّهُمۡ وَ يُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ يُجَٰهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَ لَا يَخَافُونَ لَوۡمَةَ لَآئِمࣲ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ﴿٥٤﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo man yartadda minkum ʿan deenihi fasawfa yatee Allahu biqawmin yuhibbuhum wayuhibboonahu athillatin ʿala almumineena aʿizzatin ʿala alkafireena yujahidoona fee sabeeli Allahi wala yakhafoona lawmata laimin thalika fadlu Allahi yuteehi man yashao waAllahu wasiʿun ʿaleemun
O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allāh will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, strong against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allāh and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allāh; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُۥ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَ يُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَ هُمۡ رَٰكِعُونَ﴿٥٥﴾
Innama waliyyukumu Allahu warasooluhu waallatheena amanoo allatheena yuqeemoona alssalata wayutoona alzzakata wahum rakiʿoona
Your ally is none but Allāh and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have believed - those who establish prayer and give zakāh, and they bow [in worship].
وَ مَن يَتَوَلَّ ٱللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُۥ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَإِنَّ حِزۡبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ﴿٥٦﴾
Waman yatawalla Allaha warasoolahu waallatheena amanoo fainna hizba Allahi humu alghaliboona
And whoever is an ally of Allāh and His Messenger and those who have believed - indeed, the party of Allāh - they will be the predominant.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَكُمۡ هُزُوࣰا وَ لَعِبࣰا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ۚ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿٥٧﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo allatheena ittakhathoo deenakum huzuwan walaʿiban mina allatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablikum waalkuffara awliyaa waittaqoo Allaha in kuntum mumineena
O you who have believed, take not those who have taken your religion in ridicule and amusement among the ones who were given the Scripture before you nor the disbelievers as allies. And fear Allāh, if you should [truly] be believers.
وَ إِذَا نَادَيۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ٱتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوࣰا وَ لَعِبࣰا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ لَّا يَعۡقِلُونَ﴿٥٨﴾
Waitha nadaytum ila alssalati ittakhathooha huzuwan walaʿiban thalika biannahum qawmun la yaʿqiloona
And when you call to prayer, they take it in ridicule and amusement. That is because they are a people who do not use reason.
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ هَلۡ تَنقِمُونَ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنۡ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡنَا وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَ أَنَّ أَكۡثَرَكُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ﴿٥٩﴾
Qul ya ahla alkitabi hal tanqimoona minna illa an amanna biAllahi wama onzila ilayna wama onzila min qablu waanna aktharakum fasiqoona
Say, "O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in Allāh and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?"
قُلۡ هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرࣲّ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَ غَضِبَ عَلَيۡهِ وَ جَعَلَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡقِرَدَةَ وَ ٱلۡخَنَازِيرَ وَ عَبَدَ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ شَرࣱّ مَّكَانࣰا وَ أَضَلُّ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ﴿٦٠﴾
Qul hal onabbiokum bisharrin min thalika mathoobatan ʿinda Allahi man laʿanahu Allahu waghadiba ʿalayhi wajaʿala minhumu alqiradata waalkhanazeera waʿabada alttaghooti olaika sharrun makanan waadallu ʿan sawai alssabeeli
Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allāh? [It is that of] those whom Allāh has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of ṭāghūt. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."
وَ إِذَا جَآءُوكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَ قَد دَّخَلُواْ بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ وَ هُمۡ قَدۡ خَرَجُواْ بِهِۦ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡتُمُونَ﴿٦١﴾
Waitha jaookum qaloo amanna waqad dakhaloo bialkufri wahum qad kharajoo bihi waAllahu aʿlamu bima kanoo yaktumoona
And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And Allāh is most knowing of what they were concealing.
وَ تَرَىٰ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَ ٱلۡعُدۡوَٰنِ وَ أَكۡلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحۡتَ ۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿٦٢﴾
Watara katheeran minhum yusariʿoona fee alithmi waalʿudwani waaklihimu alssuhta labisa ma kanoo yaʿmaloona
And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing.
لَوۡلَا يَنۡهَىٰهُمُ ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَ ٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ عَن قَوۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَ أَكۡلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحۡتَ ۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ﴿٦٣﴾
Lawla yanhahumu alrrabbaniyyoona waalahbaru ʿan qawlihimu alithma waaklihimu alssuhta labisa ma kanoo yasnaʿoona
Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.
وَ قَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ يَدُ ٱللَّهِ مَغۡلُولَةٌ ۚ غُلَّتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَ لُعِنُواْ بِمَا قَالُواْ ۘ بَلۡ يَدَاهُ مَبۡسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ لَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنࣰا وَ كُفۡرࣰا ۚ وَ أَلۡقَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ كُلَّمَآ أَوۡقَدُواْ نَارࣰا لِّلۡحَرۡبِ أَطۡفَأَهَا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَ يَسۡعَوۡنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَسَادࣰا ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ﴿٦٤﴾

And the Jews say, "The hand of Allāh is chained." Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allāh extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allāh does not like corrupters.
وَ لَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ءَامَنُواْ وَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ لَكَفَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَ لَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُمۡ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿٦٥﴾
Walaw anna ahla alkitabi amanoo waittaqaw lakaffarna ʿanhum sayyiatihim walaadkhalnahum jannati alnnaʿeemi
And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared Allāh, We would have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure.
وَ لَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ أَقَامُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ لَأَكَلُواْ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَ مِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِهِم ۚ مِّنۡهُمۡ أُمَّةࣱ مُّقۡتَصِدَةࣱ ۖ وَ كَثِيرࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿٦٦﴾
Walaw annahum aqamoo alttawrata waalinjeela wama onzila ilayhim min rabbihim laakaloo min fawqihim wamin tahti arjulihim minhum ommatun muqtasidatun wakatheerun minhum saa ma yaʿmaloona
And if only they had upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān], they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate [i.e., acceptable] community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَ إِن لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلۡ فَمَا بَلَّغۡتَ رِسَالَتَهُۥ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ يَعۡصِمُكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٦٧﴾
Ya ayyuha alrrasoolu balligh ma onzila ilayka min rabbika wain lam tafʿal fama ballaghta risalatahu waAllahu yaʿsimuka mina alnnasi inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma alkafireena
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allāh will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَسۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ ۗ وَ لَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنࣰا وَ كُفۡرࣰا ۖ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٦٨﴾
Qul ya ahla alkitabi lastum ʿala shayin hatta tuqeemoo alttawrata waalinjeela wama onzila ilaykum min rabbikum walayazeedanna katheeran minhum ma onzila ilayka min rabbika tughyanan wakufran fala tasa ʿala alqawmi alkafireena
Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān]." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَ ٱلصَّٰبِـُٔونَ وَ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَ لَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ﴿٦٩﴾
Inna allatheena amanoo waallatheena hadoo waalssabioona waalnnasara man amana biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri waʿamila salihan fala khawfun ʿalayhim wala hum yahzanoona
Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those [before him (ﷺ)] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
لَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَا مِيثَٰقَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ رُسُلࣰا ۖ كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولُۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُهُمۡ فَرِيقࣰا كَذَّبُواْ وَ فَرِيقࣰا يَقۡتُلُونَ﴿٧٠﴾
Laqad akhathna meethaqa banee israeela waarsalna ilayhim rusulan kullama jaahum rasoolun bima la tahwa anfusuhum fareeqan kaththaboo wafareeqan yaqtuloona
We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.
وَ حَسِبُوٓاْ أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتۡنَةࣱ فَعَمُواْ وَ صَمُّواْ ثُمَّ تَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ثُمَّ عَمُواْ وَ صَمُّواْ كَثِيرࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿٧١﴾
Wahasiboo alla takoona fitnatun faʿamoo wasammoo thumma taba Allahu ʿalayhim thumma ʿamoo wasammoo katheerun minhum waAllahu baseerun bima yaʿmaloona
And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allāh turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ ۖ وَ قَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَ رَبَّكُمۡ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَ مَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارࣲ﴿٧٢﴾

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allāh - Allāh has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةࣲ ۘ وَ مَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهࣱ وَٰحِدࣱ ۚ وَ إِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ﴿٧٣﴾
Laqad kafara allatheena qaloo inna Allaha thalithu thalathatin wama min ilahin illa ilahun wahidun wain lam yantahoo ʿamma yaqooloona layamassanna allatheena kafaroo minhum ʿathabun aleemun
They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَهُۥ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿٧٤﴾
Afala yatooboona ila Allahi wayastaghfiroonahu waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun
So will they not repent to Allāh and seek His forgiveness? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
مَّا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولࣱ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَ أُمُّهُۥ صِدِّيقَةࣱ ۖ كَانَا يَأۡكُلَانِ ٱلطَّعَامَ ۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرۡ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ﴿٧٥﴾

The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.
قُلۡ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَكُمۡ ضَرࣰّا وَ لَا نَفۡعࣰا ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ﴿٧٦﴾
Qul ataʿbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yamliku lakum darran wala nafʿan waAllahu huwa alssameeʿu alʿaleemu
Say, "Do you worship besides Allāh that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is Allāh who is the Hearing, the Knowing?"
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَ قَوۡمࣲ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ مِن قَبۡلُ وَ أَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرࣰا وَ ضَلُّواْ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ﴿٧٧﴾

Say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way."
لُعِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۢ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُۥدَ وَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ وَّ كَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ﴿٧٨﴾
Luʿina allatheena kafaroo min banee israeela ʿala lisani dawooda waʿeesa ibni maryama thalika bima ʿasaw wakanoo yaʿtadoona
Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.
كَانُواْ لَا يَتَنَاهَوۡنَ عَن مُّنكَرࣲ فَعَلُوهُ ۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ﴿٧٩﴾
Kanoo la yatanahawna ʿan munkarin faʿaloohu labisa ma kanoo yafʿaloona
They used not to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did. How wretched was that which they were doing.
تَرَىٰ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ لَهُمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ أَن سَخِطَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ هُمۡ خَٰلِدُونَ﴿٨٠﴾
Tara katheeran minhum yatawallawna allatheena kafaroo labisa ma qaddamat lahum anfusuhum an sakhita Allahu ʿalayhim wafee alʿathabi hum khalidoona
You see many of them becoming allies of those who disbelieved [i.e., the polytheists]. How wretched is that which they have put forth for themselves in that Allāh has become angry with them, and in the punishment they will abide eternally.
وَ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مَا ٱتَّخَذُوهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ وَ لَٰكِنَّ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ﴿٨١﴾
Walaw kanoo yuminoona biAllahi waalnnabiyyi wama onzila ilayhi ma ittakhathoohum awliyaa walakinna katheeran minhum fasiqoona
And if they had believed in Allāh and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ ٱلنَّاسِ عَدَٰوَةࣰ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلۡيَهُودَ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ ۖ وَ لَتَجِدَنَّ أَقۡرَبَهُم مَّوَدَّةࣰ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا نَصَٰرَىٰ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قِسِّيسِينَ وَ رُهۡبَانࣰا وَ أَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ﴿٨٢﴾

You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allāh; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
وَ إِذَا سَمِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ تَرَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنَهُمۡ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمۡعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ۖ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱكۡتُبۡنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ﴿٨٣﴾
Waitha samiʿoo ma onzila ila alrrasooli tara aʿyunahum tafeedu mina alddamʿi mimma ʿarafoo mina alhaqqi yaqooloona rabbana amanna faoktubna maʿa alshshahideena
And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.
وَ مَا لَنَا لَا نُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَ نَطۡمَعُ أَن يُدۡخِلَنَا رَبُّنَا مَعَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ﴿٨٤﴾
Wama lana la numinu biAllahi wama jaana mina alhaqqi wanatmaʿu an yudkhilana rabbuna maʿa alqawmi alssaliheena
And why should we not believe in Allāh and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord will admit us [to Paradise] with the righteous people."
فَأَثَٰبَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا قَالُواْ جَنَّٰتࣲ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿٨٥﴾
Faathabahumu Allahu bima qaloo jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wathalika jazao almuhsineena
So Allāh rewarded them for what they said with gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of doers of good.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿٨٦﴾
Waallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina olaika ashabu aljaheemi
But those who disbelieved and denied Our signs - they are the companions of Hellfire.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُحَرِّمُواْ طَيِّبَٰتِ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ وَ لَا تَعۡتَدُوٓاْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ﴿٨٧﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tuharrimoo tayyibati ma ahalla Allahu lakum wala taʿtadoo inna Allaha la yuhibbu almuʿtadeena
O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allāh has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors.
وَ كُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَٰلࣰا طَيِّبࣰا ۚ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنتُم بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿٨٨﴾
Wakuloo mimma razaqakumu Allahu halalan tayyiban waittaqoo Allaha allathee antum bihi muminoona
And eat of what Allāh has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allāh, in whom you are believers.
لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِٱللَّغۡوِ فِيٓ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ وَ لَٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا عَقَّدتُّمُ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَ ۖ فَكَفَّٰرَتُهُۥٓ إِطۡعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَٰكِينَ مِنۡ أَوۡسَطِ مَا تُطۡعِمُونَ أَهۡلِيكُمۡ أَوۡ كِسۡوَتُهُمۡ أَوۡ تَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةࣲ ۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَٰثَةِ أَيَّامࣲ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ كَفَّٰرَةُ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَلَفۡتُمۡ ۚ وَ ٱحۡفَظُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ﴿٨٩﴾
La yuakhithukumu Allahu biallaghwi fee aymanikum walakin yuakhithukum bima ʿaqqadtumu alaymana fakaffaratuhu itʿamu ʿasharati masakeena min awsati ma tutʿimoona ahleekum aw kiswatuhum aw tahreeru raqabatin faman lam yajid fasiyamu thalathati ayyamin thalika kaffaratu aymanikum itha halaftum waihfathoo aymanakum kathalika yubayyinu Allahu lakum ayatihi laʿallakum tashkuroona
Allāh will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that which you feed your [own] families or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find [or afford it] - then a fast of three days [is required]. That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses [i.e., revealed law] that you may be grateful.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡخَمۡرُ وَ ٱلۡمَيۡسِرُ وَ ٱلۡأَنصَابُ وَ ٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمُ رِجۡسࣱ مِّنۡ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ فَٱجۡتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ﴿٩٠﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo innama alkhamru waalmaysiru waalansabu waalazlamu rijsun min ʿamali alshshaytani faijtaniboohu laʿallakum tuflihoona
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allāh], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ فِي ٱلۡخَمۡرِ وَ ٱلۡمَيۡسِرِ وَ يَصُدَّكُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَ عَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ﴿٩١﴾
Innama yureedu alshshaytanu an yooqiʿa baynakumu alʿadawata waalbaghdaa fee alkhamri waalmaysiri wayasuddakum ʿan thikri Allahi waʿani alssalati fahal antum muntahoona
Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allāh and from prayer. So will you not desist?
وَ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَ ٱحۡذَرُواْ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ﴿٩٢﴾
Waateeʿoo Allaha waateeʿoo alrrasoola waihtharoo fain tawallaytum faiʿlamoo annama ʿala rasoolina albalaghu almubeenu
And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.
لَيۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جُنَاحࣱ فِيمَا طَعِمُوٓاْ إِذَا مَا ٱتَّقَواْ وَّ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّ ءَامَنُواْ ثُمَّ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّ أَحۡسَنُواْ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿٩٣﴾
Laysa ʿala allatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati junahun feema taʿimoo itha ma ittaqaw waamanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati thumma ittaqaw waamanoo thumma ittaqaw waahsanoo waAllahu yuhibbu almuhsineena
There is not upon those who believe and do righteousness [any] blame concerning what they have eaten [in the past] if they [now] fear Allāh and believe and do righteous deeds, and then fear Allāh and believe, and then fear Allāh and do good; and Allāh loves the doers of good.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَيَبۡلُوَنَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِشَيۡءࣲ مِّنَ ٱلصَّيۡدِ تَنَالُهُۥٓ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَ رِمَاحُكُمۡ لِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَخَافُهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ ۚ فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ﴿٩٤﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo layabluwannakumu Allahu bishayin mina alssaydi tanaluhu aydeekum warimahukum liyaʿlama Allahu man yakhafuhu bialghaybi famani iʿtada baʿda thalika falahu ʿathabun aleemun
O you who have believed, Allāh will surely test you through something of the game that your hands and spears [can] reach, that Allāh may make evident those who fear Him unseen. And whoever transgresses after that - for him is a painful punishment.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلصَّيۡدَ وَ أَنتُمۡ حُرُمࣱ ۚ وَ مَن قَتَلَهُۥ مِنكُم مُّتَعَمِّدࣰا فَجَزَآءࣱ مِّثۡلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّعَمِ يَحۡكُمُ بِهِۦ ذَوَا عَدۡلࣲ مِّنكُمۡ هَدۡيَۢا بَٰلِغَ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةِ أَوۡ كَفَّٰرَةࣱ طَعَامُ مَسَٰكِينَ أَوۡ عَدۡلُ ذَٰلِكَ صِيَامࣰا لِّيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِۦ ۗ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ ۚ وَ مَنۡ عَادَ فَيَنتَقِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهُ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزࣱ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ﴿٩٥﴾

O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of iḥrām. And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty is an equivalent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you as an offering [to Allāh] delivered to the Kaʿbah, or an expiation: the feeding of needy people or the equivalent of that in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of his matter [i.e., deed]. Allāh has pardoned what is past; but whoever returns [to violation], then Allāh will take retribution from him. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution.
أُحِلَّ لَكُمۡ صَيۡدُ ٱلۡبَحۡرِ وَ طَعَامُهُۥ مَتَٰعࣰا لَّكُمۡ وَ لِلسَّيَّارَةِ ۖ وَ حُرِّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ صَيۡدُ ٱلۡبَرِّ مَا دُمۡتُمۡ حُرُمࣰا ۗ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ﴿٩٦﴾
Ohilla lakum saydu albahri wataʿamuhu mataʿan lakum walilssayyarati wahurrima ʿalaykum saydu albarri ma dumtum huruman waittaqoo Allaha allathee ilayhi tuhsharoona
Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of iḥrām. And fear Allāh to whom you will be gathered.
جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةَ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ قِيَٰمࣰا لِّلنَّاسِ وَ ٱلشَّهۡرَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ وَ ٱلۡهَدۡيَ وَ ٱلۡقَلَٰٓئِدَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ﴿٩٧﴾
Jaʿala Allahu alkaʿbata albayta alharama qiyaman lilnnasi waalshshahra alharama waalhadya waalqalaida thalika litaʿlamoo anna Allaha yaʿlamu ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi waanna Allaha bikulli shayin ʿaleemun
Allāh has made the Kaʿbah, the Sacred House, standing for the people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. That is so you may know that Allāh knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that Allāh is Knowing of all things.
ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿٩٨﴾
Iʿlamoo anna Allaha shadeedu alʿiqabi waanna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun
Know that Allāh is severe in penalty and that Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
مَّا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُبۡدُونَ وَ مَا تَكۡتُمُونَ﴿٩٩﴾
Ma ʿala alrrasooli illa albalaghu waAllahu yaʿlamu ma tubdoona wama taktumoona
Not upon the Messenger is [responsibility] except [for] notification. And Allāh knows whatever you reveal and whatever you conceal.
قُل لَّا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡخَبِيثُ وَ ٱلطَّيِّبُ وَ لَوۡ أَعۡجَبَكَ كَثۡرَةُ ٱلۡخَبِيثِ ۚ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ يَٰٓأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ﴿١٠٠﴾
Qul la yastawee alkhabeethu waalttayyibu walaw aʿjabaka kathratu alkhabeethi faittaqoo Allaha ya olee alalbabi laʿallakum tuflihoona
Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allāh, O you of understanding, that you may be successful.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَسۡـَٔلُواْ عَنۡ أَشۡيَآءَ إِن تُبۡدَ لَكُمۡ تَسُؤۡكُمۡ وَ إِن تَسۡـَٔلُواْ عَنۡهَا حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ تُبۡدَ لَكُمۡ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهَا ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمࣱ﴿١٠١﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tasaloo ʿan ashyaa in tubda lakum tasukum wain tasaloo ʿanha heena yunazzalu alquranu tubda lakum ʿafa Allahu ʿanha waAllahu ghafoorun haleemun
O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you. But if you ask about them while the Qur’ān is being revealed, they will be shown to you. Allāh has pardoned it [i.e., that which is past]; and Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.
قَدۡ سَأَلَهَا قَوۡمࣱ مِّن قَبۡلِكُمۡ ثُمَّ أَصۡبَحُواْ بِهَا كَٰفِرِينَ﴿١٠٢﴾
Qad saalaha qawmun min qablikum thumma asbahoo biha kafireena
A people asked such [questions] before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.
مَا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَحِيرَةࣲ وَ لَا سَآئِبَةࣲ وَ لَا وَصِيلَةࣲ وَ لَا حَامࣲ وَ لَٰكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ ۖ وَ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ﴿١٠٣﴾
Ma jaʿala Allahu min baheeratin wala saibatin wala waseelatin wala hamin walakinna allatheena kafaroo yaftaroona ʿala Allahi alkathiba waaktharuhum la yaʿqiloona
Allāh has not appointed [such innovations as] baḥīrah or sā’ibah or waṣīlah or ḥām. But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allāh, and most of them do not reason.
وَ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ قَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا مَا وَجَدۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَنَآ ۚ أَوَلَوۡ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـࣰٔا وَ لَا يَهۡتَدُونَ﴿١٠٤﴾
Waitha qeela lahum taʿalaw ila ma anzala Allahu waila alrrasooli qaloo hasbuna ma wajadna ʿalayhi abaana awalaw kana abaohum la yaʿlamoona shayan wala yahtadoona
And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allāh has revealed and to the Messenger," they say, "Sufficient for us is that upon which we found our fathers." Even though their fathers knew nothing, nor were they guided?
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡ ۖ لَا يَضُرُّكُم مَّن ضَلَّ إِذَا ٱهۡتَدَيۡتُمۡ ۚ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعࣰا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿١٠٥﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ʿalaykum anfusakum la yadurrukum man dalla itha ihtadaytum ila Allahi marjiʿukum jameeʿan fayunabbiokum bima kuntum taʿmaloona
O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allāh is your return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ شَهَٰدَةُ بَيۡنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ حِينَ ٱلۡوَصِيَّةِ ٱثۡنَانِ ذَوَا عَدۡلࣲ مِّنكُمۡ أَوۡ ءَاخَرَانِ مِنۡ غَيۡرِكُمۡ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ ۚ تَحۡبِسُونَهُمَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ إِنِ ٱرۡتَبۡتُمۡ لَا نَشۡتَرِي بِهِۦ ثَمَنࣰا وَ لَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰ وَ لَا نَكۡتُمُ شَهَٰدَةَ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّآ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡأٓثِمِينَ﴿١٠٦﴾

O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of] two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allāh if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange it [i.e., our oath] for a price [i.e., worldly gain], even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of [i.e., ordained by] Allāh. Indeed, we would then be of the sinful."
فَإِنۡ عُثِرَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنَّهُمَا ٱسۡتَحَقَّآ إِثۡمࣰا فَـَٔاخَرَانِ يَقُومَانِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَوۡلَيَٰنِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ لَشَهَٰدَتُنَآ أَحَقُّ مِن شَهَٰدَتِهِمَا وَ مَا ٱعۡتَدَيۡنَآ إِنَّآ إِذࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ﴿١٠٧﴾
Fain ʿuthira ʿala annahuma istahaqqa ithman faakharani yaqoomani maqamahuma mina allatheena istahaqqa ʿalayhimu alawlayani fayuqsimani biAllahi lashahadatuna ahaqqu min shahadatihima wama iʿtadayna inna ithan lamina alththalimeena
But if it is found that those two were guilty of sin [i.e., perjury], let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allāh, "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers."
ذَٰلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتُواْ بِٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهَآ أَوۡ يَخَافُوٓاْ أَن تُرَدَّ أَيۡمَٰنُۢ بَعۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ ۗ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ ٱسۡمَعُواْ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ﴿١٠٨﴾
Thalika adna an yatoo bialshshahadati ʿala wajhiha aw yakhafoo an turadda aymanun baʿda aymanihim waittaqoo Allaha waismaʿoo waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alfasiqeena
That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allāh and listen [i.e., obey Him]; and Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أُجِبۡتُمۡ ۖ قَالُواْ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ﴿١٠٩﴾
Yawma yajmaʿu Allahu alrrusula fayaqoolu matha ojibtum qaloo la ʿilma lana innaka anta ʿallamu alghuyoobi
[Be warned of] the Day when Allāh will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen" -
إِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱذۡكُرۡ نِعۡمَتِي عَلَيۡكَ وَ عَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَتِكَ إِذۡ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ ٱلنَّاسَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ وَ كَهۡلࣰا ۖ وَ إِذۡ عَلَّمۡتُكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ ۖ وَ إِذۡ تَخۡلُقُ مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيۡـَٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ بِإِذۡنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا بِإِذۡنِي ۖ وَ تُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ بِإِذۡنِي ۖ وَ إِذۡ تُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِي ۖ وَ إِذۡ كَفَفۡتُ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ عَنكَ إِذۡ جِئۡتَهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ﴿١١٠﴾

[The Day] when Allāh will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel] and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind [from birth] and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."
وَ إِذۡ أَوۡحَيۡتُ إِلَى ٱلۡحَوَارِيِّـۧنَ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِي وَ بِرَسُولِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَ ٱشۡهَدۡ بِأَنَّنَا مُسۡلِمُونَ﴿١١١﴾
Waith awhaytu ila alhawariyyeena an aminoo bee wabirasoolee qaloo amanna waishhad biannana muslimoona
And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, "Believe in Me and in My messenger [i.e., Jesus]." They said, "We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allāh]."
إِذۡ قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ هَلۡ يَسۡتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَن يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡنَا مَآئِدَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ قَالَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ﴿١١٢﴾
Ith qala alhawariyyoona ya ʿeesa ibna maryama hal yastateeʿu rabbuka an yunazzila ʿalayna maidatan mina alssamai qala ittaqoo Allaha in kuntum mumineena
[And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven?" [Jesus] said, "Fear Allāh, if you should be believers."
قَالُواْ نُرِيدُ أَن نَّأۡكُلَ مِنۡهَا وَ تَطۡمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُنَا وَ نَعۡلَمَ أَن قَدۡ صَدَقۡتَنَا وَ نَكُونَ عَلَيۡهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ﴿١١٣﴾
Qaloo nureedu an nakula minha watatmainna quloobuna wanaʿlama an qad sadaqtana wanakoona ʿalayha mina alshshahideena
They said, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses."
قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلۡ عَلَيۡنَا مَآئِدَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدࣰا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَ ءَاخِرِنَا وَ ءَايَةࣰ مِّنكَ ۖ وَ ٱرۡزُقۡنَا وَ أَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ﴿١١٤﴾
Qala ʿeesa ibnu maryama allahumma rabbana anzil ʿalayna maidatan mina alssamai takoonu lana ʿeedan liawwalina waakhirina waayatan minka waorzuqna waanta khayru alrraziqeena
Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allāh, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers."
قَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّي مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ ۖ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بَعۡدُ مِنكُمۡ فَإِنِّيٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابࣰا لَّآ أُعَذِّبُهُۥٓ أَحَدࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿١١٥﴾
Qala Allahu innee munazziluha ʿalaykum faman yakfur baʿdu minkum fainnee oʿaththibuhu ʿathaban la oʿaththibuhu ahadan mina alʿalameena
Allāh said, "Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds."
وَ إِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ءَأَنتَ قُلۡتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِي وَ أُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيۡنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِيٓ أَنۡ أَقُولَ مَا لَيۡسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلۡتُهُۥ فَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَهُۥ ۚ تَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي نَفۡسِي وَ لَآ أَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي نَفۡسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ﴿١١٦﴾

And [beware the Day] when Allāh will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allāh?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
مَا قُلۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَمَرۡتَنِي بِهِۦٓ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَ رَبَّكُمۡ ۚ وَ كُنتُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيدࣰا مَّا دُمۡتُ فِيهِمۡ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِي كُنتَ أَنتَ ٱلرَّقِيبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۚ وَ أَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ شَهِيدٌ﴿١١٧﴾

I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
إِن تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ عِبَادُكَ ۖ وَ إِن تَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ﴿١١٨﴾
In tuʿaththibhum fainnahum ʿibaduka wain taghfir lahum fainnaka anta alʿazeezu alhakeemu
If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
قَالَ ٱللَّهُ هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ يَنفَعُ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ صِدۡقُهُمۡ ۚ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتࣱ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدࣰا ۖ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَ رَضُواْ عَنۡهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ﴿١١٩﴾
Qala Allahu hatha yawmu yanfaʿu alssadiqeena sidquhum lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan radiya Allahu ʿanhum waradoo ʿanhu thalika alfawzu alʿatheemu
Allāh will say, "This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allāh being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment.
لِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَ هُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ قَدِيرُۢ﴿١٢٠﴾
Lillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi wama feehinna wahuwa ʿala kulli shayin qadeerun
To Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is within them. And He is over all things competent.

About this surah
Name
This Surah takes its' name from verse 112 in which the word mai'dah occurs. Like the names of many other surahs, this name has no special relation to the subject of the Surah but has been used merely as a symbol to distinguish it from other surahs.
Period of Revelation
The theme of this Surah indicates, and traditions support it, that it was revealed after the treaty of Hudaibiyah at the end of 6 A. H. or at the beginning of 7 A. H. That is why it deals with those problems that arose from this treaty.
The Holy Prophet with 1400 Muslims went to Makkah in Zil-Qaadah 6 A.H. to perform Umrah, but the Quraish spurred by their enmity, prevented him from its performance, though it was utterly against all the ancient religious traditions of Arabia. After a good deal of hard and harsh negotiations, a treaty was concluded at Hudaibiyah according to which it was agreed that he could perform Umrah the following year. That was a very appropriate occasion for teaching the Muslims the right way of performing a pilgrimage to Makkah with true Islamic dignity, and enjoining that they should not prevent the disbelievers from performing pilgrimage to Makkah as a retaliation for their misbehavior. This was not difficult at all as many disbelievers had to pass through Muslim territory on their way to Makkah. This is why the introductory verses deal with the things connected with the pilgrimage to Makkah and the same theme has been resumed in 101-104. The other topics of this Surah also appear to belong to the same period.
The continuity of the subject shows that most probably the whole of the Surah was revealed as a single discourse at one and the same time. It is also possible that some of its verses were revealed at a later period and inserted in this Surah at different places where they fitted in. But there appears to be not the least gap anywhere in the Surah to show that it might have comprised two or more discourses.
Occasion of Revelation
This Surah was revealed to suit the requirements of the changed conditions which were now different from those prevailing at the time of the revelation of Al-i-'Imran and An- Nisa. Then the shock of the set-back at Uhd had made the very surroundings of Al-Madinah dangerous for the Muslims, but now Islam had become an invulnerable power and the Islamic State had extended to Najd on the east, to the Red Sea on the west, to Syria on the north and to Makkah on the south. This set-back which the Muslims had suffered at Uhd had not broken their determination. It had rather spurred them to action. As a result of their continuous struggle and unparalleled sacrifices, the power of. the surrounding clans, within a radius of 200 miles or so, had been broken. The Jewish menace which was always threatening Al-Madinah had been totally removed and the Jews in the other parts of Hijaz had-become tributaries of the State of Al-Madinah. The last effort of the Quraish to suppress Islam had been thwarted in the Battle of the Ditch. After this, it had become quite obvious to the Arabs that no power could suppress the Islamic movement. Now Islam was not merely a creed that ruled over the minds and hearts of the people but had also become a State which dominated every aspect of the life of the people who lived within its boundaries. This had enabled the Muslims to live their lives without let or hindrance, in accordance with their beliefs.
Another development had also taken place during this period. The Muslim civilization had developed in accordance with the principles of Islam and the Islamic viewpoint. This civilization was quite distinct from all other civilizations in all its' details and distinguished the Muslims clearly from the non-Muslims in their moral, social and cultural behavior. Mosques had been built in all territories, prayer had been established, and' Imam (leader) for every habitation and clan had been appointed. The Islamic civil and criminal laws had been formulated in detail and were being enforced through the Islamic courts. New and reformed ways of trade and commerce had taken the place of the old ones. The Islamic laws of marriage and divorce, of the segregation of the sexes, of the punishment for adultery and calumny and the like, had cast the social life of the Muslims in a special mold. Their social behavior, their conversation, their dress, their very mode of living, their culture, etc., had taken a definite shape of its own. As a result of all these changes, the non-Muslims could not expect that the Muslims would ever return to their former fold.
Before the treaty of Hudaibiyah, the Muslims were so engaged in their struggle with the non-Muslim Quraish that they got no time to propagate their message. This hindrance was removed by what was apparently a defeat but in reality a victory at Hudaibiyah. This gave the Muslims not only peace in their own territory but also respite to spread their message in the surrounding territories. Accordingly, the Holy Prophet addressed letters to the rulers of Iran, Egypt, and the Roman Empire and the chiefs of Arabia, inviting them to Islam. At the same time, the missionaries of Islam spread among the clans and tribes and invited them to accept the Divine Way of Allah. These were the circumstances at the time when Al-Ma'idah was revealed.
Topics
It deals with the following three main topics:
- Commandments and instructions about the religious, cultural, and political life of the Muslims.
- In this connection, a code of ceremonial rules concerning the journey for Hajj has been prescribed; the observance of strict respect for the emblems of Allah has been enjoined, and any kind of obstruction or interference with the pilgrims to the Kaabah has been prohibited. Definite rules and regulations have been laid down for what is lawful and unlawful in the matter of food, and self-imposed foolish restrictions of the pre-Islamic age have been abolished. Permission has been given to. take food with the people of the Book and marry their women. Rules and regulations for the performance of Wudu (ablutions) and bath and purification and tayammum (ablutions with dust) have been prescribed. Punishment for rebellion, disturbance of peace, and theft have been specified. Drinking and gambling have absolutely been made unlawful. Expiation for the breaking of the oath has been laid down and a few more things have been added to the law of evidence.
- The admonition to the Muslims.
- Now that the Muslims had become a ruling body, it was feared that power might corrupt them. At this period of great trial, Allah had admonished them over and over again to stick to justice and to guard against the wrong behavior of their predecessors, the people of the Book. They have been enjoined to remain steadfast to the Covenant of obedience to Allah and His Messenger and to observe strictly their commands and prohibitions in order to save themselves from the evil consequences. befell the Jews and the Christians who had violated them. They have been instructed to observe the dictates of the Holy Quran in the conduct of all their affairs and warned against the attitude of hypocrisy.
- The admonition to the Jews and the Christians.
- As the power of the Jews had been totally weakened and almost all their habitations in north Arabia had come under the rule of the Muslims, they have been warned again about their wrong attitude and invited to follow the Right Way. At the same time, a detailed invitation has also been extended to the Christians. The errors of their creeds have been clearly pointed out and they have been admonished to accept the guidance of the Holy Prophet. . Incidentally, it may be noted that no direct invitation has been made to the Majusis and idolaters living in the adjoining countries because there was no need for a separate address for them as their condition. had already been covered by the addresses to the mushrik Arabs.
Subject: Consolidation of the Islamic Community
In continuation of the instructions about the consolidation of the Islamic Community given in Surah An-Nisa, the Muslims have been directed to observe and fulfill all their obligations: further regulations have been prescribed to train the Muslims for that purpose.
They have also been particularly warned as rulers to guard against the corruption, of power and directed to observe the Covenant of the Quran. They have also been exhorted to learn lessons from the failings of their predecessors, the Jews and the Christians, who in their turn have been admonished to give up their wrong attitudes towards the Right Way and accept the guidance taught by Prophet Muhammad (God's peace be upon him).
Topics and their Interconnection
The Believers have been exhorted to fulfill scrupulously all of their obligations and follow the regulations prescribed by the Divine Law about food, sex, Salat, justice, etc. 1-10
The Muslims have been warned to guard against the errors of their predecessors; they should follow the Right Path and avoid the bad example of the Jews and the Christians, who broke their Covenants and went astray into evil ways. They, in their turn, have been admonished to give up their wrong ways and accept Islam. 11-26
The story of the two sons of Adam has been related to reproach the Jews for their plot to kill the Holy Prophet and his Companions. (v. 11 & E.N. 30). The story has also been used to emphasize the sanctity of human life. 27-32
To achieve this object, punishments have been prescribed for those who create chaos in the Islamic State, and the Believers have been urged to exert their utmost to establish the Right Way; the sanctity of property has also been emphasized. 33-40
The Holy Prophet (and through him the Muslims) has been reassured that he should not mind the enmity, the evil designs, and the machinations of the Jews, but continue exerting his utmost to establish the Right Way in accordance with the Guidance of the Quran; for nothing better could be expected from those who had forsaken their own Torah. He should deal with the Christians likewise, for them, too, had forsaken their Gospel. 41-50
In view of the degenerate moral condition of the Jews and the Christians, the Believers have been warned not to make them their friends and confidants. Likewise, they should be on their guard against the evil designs of the hypocrites, the disbelievers, and the like and should rely on the true Believers alone. The people of the Book have, in their turn been exhorted to give up their enmity and adopt the right attitude, for they cannot get salvation without this. 51-69
The theme of the corruptions of the Jews and Christians has been resumed. The Christians especially have been reproved for their errors in regard to the doctrine of Tauhid. At the same time, they have been preferred to the hard-hearted Jews, for there are among them some who are more inclined towards the Truth. 70-86
In this portion of the Surah, further regulations about the lawful and the unlawful, in addition to those contained in 1-10, have been given. 87-108
At the end of the Surah, the mention of the conversation that will take place between Allah and His Prophets on the Day of Judgment has been made for the benefit of the erring people to serve as a corrective to their creeds. The conversation with Prophet Christ has been cited as a specimen to warn particularly the Christians, who profess to believe in him, and generally, all those people who put false hopes in their Prophets, etc. 109-119
Conclusion: "O mankind! The Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah: therefore you should become His true servants and fear Him, for He has full powers over everything." 120
