بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفۡسࣲ وَٰحِدَةࣲ وَ خَلَقَ مِنۡهَا زَوۡجَهَا وَ بَثَّ مِنۡهُمَا رِجَالࣰا كَثِيرࣰا وَ نِسَآءࣰ ۚ وَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي تَسَآءَلُونَ بِهِۦ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ رَقِيبࣰا﴿١﴾
Ya ayyuha alnnasu ittaqoo rabbakumu allathee khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin wakhalaqa minha zawjaha wabaththa minhuma rijalan katheeran wanisaan waittaqoo Allaha allathee tasaaloona bihi waalarhama inna Allaha kana ʿalaykum raqeeban
O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allāh, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allāh is ever, over you, an Observer.
وَ ءَاتُواْ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰٓ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ ۖ وَ لَا تَتَبَدَّلُواْ ٱلۡخَبِيثَ بِٱلطَّيِّبِ ۖ وَ لَا تَأۡكُلُوٓاْ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَمۡوَٰلِكُمۡ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حُوبࣰا كَبِيرࣰا﴿٢﴾
Waatoo alyatama amwalahum wala tatabaddaloo alkhabeetha bialttayyibi wala takuloo amwalahum ila amwalikum innahu kana hooban kabeeran
And give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin.
وَ إِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ أَلَّا تُقۡسِطُواْ فِي ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ فَٱنكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ مَثۡنَىٰ وَ ثُلَٰثَ وَ رُبَٰعَ ۖ فَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْ فَوَٰحِدَةً أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعُولُواْ﴿٣﴾
Wain khiftum alla tuqsitoo fee alyatama fainkihoo ma taba lakum mina alnnisai mathna wathulatha warubaʿa fain khiftum alla taʿdiloo fawahidatan aw ma malakat aymanukum thalika adna alla taʿooloo
And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hands possess [i.e., slaves]. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
وَ ءَاتُواْ ٱلنِّسَآءَ صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ نِحۡلَةࣰ ۚ فَإِن طِبۡنَ لَكُمۡ عَن شَيۡءࣲ مِّنۡهُ نَفۡسࣰا فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيٓـࣰٔا مَّرِيٓـࣰٔا﴿٤﴾
Waatoo alnnisaa saduqatihinna nihlatan fain tibna lakum ʿan shayin minhu nafsan fakuloohu haneean mareean
And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.
وَ لَا تُؤۡتُواْ ٱلسُّفَهَآءَ أَمۡوَٰلَكُمُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ قِيَٰمࣰا وَ ٱرۡزُقُوهُمۡ فِيهَا وَ ٱكۡسُوهُمۡ وَ قُولُواْ لَهُمۡ قَوۡلࣰا مَّعۡرُوفࣰا﴿٥﴾
Wala tutoo alssufahaa amwalakumu allatee jaʿala Allahu lakum qiyaman waorzuqoohum feeha waoksoohum waqooloo lahum qawlan maʿroofan
And do not give the weak-minded your property, which Allāh has made a means of sustenance for you, but provide for them with it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.
وَ ٱبۡتَلُواْ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغُواْ ٱلنِّكَاحَ فَإِنۡ ءَانَسۡتُم مِّنۡهُمۡ رُشۡدࣰا فَٱدۡفَعُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ ۖ وَ لَا تَأۡكُلُوهَآ إِسۡرَافࣰا وَ بِدَارًا أَن يَكۡبَرُواْ ۚ وَ مَن كَانَ غَنِيࣰّا فَلۡيَسۡتَعۡفِفۡ ۖ وَ مَن كَانَ فَقِيرࣰا فَلۡيَأۡكُلۡ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ ۚ فَإِذَا دَفَعۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ فَأَشۡهِدُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ حَسِيبࣰا﴿٦﴾
Waibtaloo alyatama hatta itha balaghoo alnnikaha fain anastum minhum rushdan faidfaʿoo ilayhim amwalahum wala takulooha israfan wabidaran an yakbaroo waman kana ghaniyyan falyastaʿfif waman kana faqeeran falyakul bialmaʿroofi faitha dafaʿtum ilayhim amwalahum faashhidoo ʿalayhim wakafa biAllahi haseeban
And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allāh as Accountant.
لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبࣱ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ ٱلۡوَٰلِدَانِ وَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبُونَ وَ لِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِيبࣱ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ ٱلۡوَٰلِدَانِ وَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبُونَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنۡهُ أَوۡ كَثُرَ ۚ نَصِيبࣰا مَّفۡرُوضࣰا﴿٧﴾
Lilrrijali naseebun mimma taraka alwalidani waalaqraboona walilnnisai naseebun mimma taraka alwalidani waalaqraboona mimma qalla minhu aw kathura naseeban mafroodan
For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share.
وَ إِذَا حَضَرَ ٱلۡقِسۡمَةَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ وَ ٱلۡمَسَٰكِينُ فَٱرۡزُقُوهُم مِّنۡهُ وَ قُولُواْ لَهُمۡ قَوۡلࣰا مَّعۡرُوفࣰا﴿٨﴾
Waitha hadara alqismata oloo alqurba waalyatama waalmasakeenu faorzuqoohum minhu waqooloo lahum qawlan maʿroofan
And when [other] relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the [time of] division, then provide for them [something] out of it [i.e., the estate] and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.
وَ لۡيَخۡشَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَوۡ تَرَكُواْ مِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّةࣰ ضِعَٰفًا خَافُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ فَلۡيَتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ لۡيَقُولُواْ قَوۡلࣰا سَدِيدًا﴿٩﴾
Walyakhsha allatheena law tarakoo min khalfihim thurriyyatan diʿafan khafoo ʿalayhim falyattaqoo Allaha walyaqooloo qawlan sadeedan
And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allāh and speak words of appropriate justice.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأۡكُلُونَ أَمۡوَٰلَ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ ظُلۡمًا إِنَّمَا يَأۡكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمۡ نَارࣰا ۖ وَ سَيَصۡلَوۡنَ سَعِيرࣰا﴿١٠﴾
Inna allatheena yakuloona amwala alyatama thulman innama yakuloona fee butoonihim naran wasayaslawna saʿeeran
Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze [i.e., Hellfire].
يُوصِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِيٓ أَوۡلَٰدِكُمۡ ۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ ۚ فَإِن كُنَّ نِسَآءࣰ فَوۡقَ ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ ۖ وَ إِن كَانَتۡ وَٰحِدَةࣰ فَلَهَا ٱلنِّصۡفُ ۚ وَ لِأَبَوَيۡهِ لِكُلِّ وَٰحِدࣲ مِّنۡهُمَا ٱلسُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِن كَانَ لَهُۥ وَلَدࣱ ۚ فَإِن لَّمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلَدࣱ وَ وَرِثَهُۥٓ أَبَوَاهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ ٱلثُّلُثُ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُۥٓ إِخۡوَةࣱ فَلِأُمِّهِ ٱلسُّدُسُ ۚ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةࣲ يُوصِي بِهَآ أَوۡ دَيۡنٍ ۗ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡ وَ أَبۡنَآؤُكُمۡ لَا تَدۡرُونَ أَيُّهُمۡ أَقۡرَبُ لَكُمۡ نَفۡعࣰا ۚ فَرِيضَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١١﴾

Allāh instructs you concerning your children [i.e., their portions of inheritance]: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [and/or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَ لَكُمۡ نِصۡفُ مَا تَرَكَ أَزۡوَٰجُكُمۡ إِن لَّمۡ يَكُن لَّهُنَّ وَلَدࣱ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدࣱ فَلَكُمُ ٱلرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡنَ ۚ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةࣲ يُوصِينَ بِهَآ أَوۡ دَيۡنࣲ ۚ وَ لَهُنَّ ٱلرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡتُمۡ إِن لَّمۡ يَكُن لَّكُمۡ وَلَدࣱ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمۡ وَلَدࣱ فَلَهُنَّ ٱلثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكۡتُم ۚ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةࣲ تُوصُونَ بِهَآ أَوۡ دَيۡنࣲ ۗ وَ إِن كَانَ رَجُلࣱ يُورَثُ كَلَٰلَةً أَوِ ٱمۡرَأَةࣱ وَ لَهُۥٓ أَخٌ أَوۡ أُخۡتࣱ فَلِكُلِّ وَٰحِدࣲ مِّنۡهُمَا ٱلسُّدُسُ ۚ فَإِن كَانُوٓاْ أَكۡثَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَهُمۡ شُرَكَآءُ فِي ٱلثُّلُثِ ۚ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِيَّةࣲ يُوصَىٰ بِهَآ أَوۡ دَيۡنٍ غَيۡرَ مُضَآرࣲّ ۚ وَصِيَّةࣰ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَلِيمࣱ﴿١٢﴾

And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt. And for them [i.e., the wives] is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt. And if a man or woman leaves neither ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they share a third, after any bequest which was made or debt, as long as there is no detriment [caused]. [This is] an ordinance from Allāh, and Allāh is Knowing and Forbearing.
تِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَ مَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُۥ يُدۡخِلۡهُ جَنَّٰتࣲ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ﴿١٣﴾
Tilka hudoodu Allahi waman yutiʿi Allaha warasoolahu yudkhilhu jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wathalika alfawzu alʿatheemu
These are the limits [set by] Allāh, and whoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is the great attainment.
وَ مَن يَعۡصِ ٱللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُۥ وَ يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُۥ يُدۡخِلۡهُ نَارًا خَٰلِدࣰا فِيهَا وَ لَهُۥ عَذَابࣱ مُّهِينࣱ﴿١٤﴾
Waman yaʿsi Allaha warasoolahu wayataʿadda hudoodahu yudkhilhu naran khalidan feeha walahu ʿathabun muheenun
And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger and transgresses His limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment.
وَ ٱلَّٰتِي يَأۡتِينَ ٱلۡفَٰحِشَةَ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمۡ فَٱسۡتَشۡهِدُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ أَرۡبَعَةࣰ مِّنكُمۡ ۖ فَإِن شَهِدُواْ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ فِي ٱلۡبُيُوتِ حَتَّىٰ يَتَوَفَّىٰهُنَّ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ أَوۡ يَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلࣰا﴿١٥﴾
Waallatee yateena alfahishata min nisaikum faistashhidoo ʿalayhinna arbaʿatan minkum fain shahidoo faamsikoohunna fee albuyooti hatta yatawaffahunna almawtu aw yajʿala Allahu lahunna sabeelan
Those who commit immorality [i.e., unlawful sexual intercourse] of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine them [i.e., the guilty women] to houses until death takes them or Allāh ordains for them [another] way.
وَ ٱلَّذَانِ يَأۡتِيَٰنِهَا مِنكُمۡ فَـَٔاذُوهُمَا ۖ فَإِن تَابَا وَ أَصۡلَحَا فَأَعۡرِضُواْ عَنۡهُمَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابࣰا رَّحِيمًا﴿١٦﴾
Waallathani yatiyaniha minkum faathoohuma fain taba waaslaha faaʿridoo ʿanhuma inna Allaha kana tawwaban raheeman
And the two who commit it [i.e., unlawful sexual intercourse] among you - punish [i.e., dishonor] them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allāh is ever Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.
إِنَّمَا ٱلتَّوۡبَةُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةࣲ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِن قَرِيبࣲ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ۗ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١٧﴾
Innama alttawbatu ʿala Allahi lillatheena yaʿmaloona alssooa bijahalatin thumma yatooboona min qareebin faolaika yatoobu Allahu ʿalayhim wakana Allahu ʿaleeman hakeeman
The repentance accepted by Allāh is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon [after]. It is those to whom Allāh will turn in forgiveness, and Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَ لَيۡسَتِ ٱلتَّوۡبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ إِنِّي تُبۡتُ ٱلۡـَٰٔنَ وَ لَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَ هُمۡ كُفَّارٌ ۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمࣰا﴿١٨﴾
Walaysati alttawbatu lillatheena yaʿmaloona alssayyiati hatta itha hadara ahadahumu almawtu qala innee tubtu alana wala allatheena yamootoona wahum kuffarun olaika aʿtadna lahum ʿathaban aleeman
But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمۡ أَن تَرِثُواْ ٱلنِّسَآءَ كَرۡهࣰا ۖ وَ لَا تَعۡضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذۡهَبُواْ بِبَعۡضِ مَآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ إِلَّآ أَن يَأۡتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةࣲ مُّبَيِّنَةࣲ ۚ وَ عَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ ۚ فَإِن كَرِهۡتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكۡرَهُواْ شَيۡـࣰٔا وَ يَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيۡرࣰا كَثِيرࣰا﴿١٩﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la yahillu lakum an tarithoo alnnisaa karhan wala taʿduloohunna litathhaboo bibaʿdi ma ataytumoohunna illa an yateena bifahishatin mubayyinatin waʿashiroohunna bialmaʿroofi fain karihtumoohunna faʿasa an takrahoo shayan wayajʿala Allahu feehi khayran katheeran
O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality [i.e., adultery]. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allāh makes therein much good.
وَ إِنۡ أَرَدتُّمُ ٱسۡتِبۡدَالَ زَوۡجࣲ مَّكَانَ زَوۡجࣲ وَ ءَاتَيۡتُمۡ إِحۡدَىٰهُنَّ قِنطَارࣰا فَلَا تَأۡخُذُواْ مِنۡهُ شَيۡـًٔا ۚ أَتَأۡخُذُونَهُۥ بُهۡتَٰنࣰا وَ إِثۡمࣰا مُّبِينࣰا﴿٢٠﴾
Wain aradtumu istibdala zawjin makana zawjin waataytum ihdahunna qintaran fala takhuthoo minhu shayan atakhuthoonahu buhtanan waithman mubeenan
But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin?
وَ كَيۡفَ تَأۡخُذُونَهُۥ وَ قَدۡ أَفۡضَىٰ بَعۡضُكُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ وَ أَخَذۡنَ مِنكُم مِّيثَٰقًا غَلِيظࣰا﴿٢١﴾
Wakayfa takhuthoonahu waqad afda baʿdukum ila baʿdin waakhathna minkum meethaqan ghaleethan
And how could you take it while you have gone in unto each other and they have taken from you a solemn covenant?
وَ لَا تَنكِحُواْ مَا نَكَحَ ءَابَآؤُكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ إِلَّا مَا قَدۡ سَلَفَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةࣰ وَ مَقۡتࣰا وَ سَآءَ سَبِيلًا﴿٢٢﴾
Wala tankihoo ma nakaha abaokum mina alnnisai illa ma qad salafa innahu kana fahishatan wamaqtan wasaa sabeelan
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allāh] and was evil as a way.
حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أُمَّهَٰتُكُمۡ وَ بَنَاتُكُمۡ وَ أَخَوَٰتُكُمۡ وَ عَمَّٰتُكُمۡ وَ خَٰلَٰتُكُمۡ وَ بَنَاتُ ٱلۡأَخِ وَ بَنَاتُ ٱلۡأُخۡتِ وَ أُمَّهَٰتُكُمُ ٱلَّٰتِيٓ أَرۡضَعۡنَكُمۡ وَ أَخَوَٰتُكُم مِّنَ ٱلرَّضَٰعَةِ وَ أُمَّهَٰتُ نِسَآئِكُمۡ وَ رَبَٰٓئِبُكُمُ ٱلَّٰتِي فِي حُجُورِكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِكُمُ ٱلَّٰتِي دَخَلۡتُم بِهِنَّ فَإِن لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ دَخَلۡتُم بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ حَلَٰٓئِلُ أَبۡنَآئِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنۡ أَصۡلَٰبِكُمۡ وَ أَن تَجۡمَعُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡأُخۡتَيۡنِ إِلَّا مَا قَدۡ سَلَفَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿٢٣﴾
Hurrimat ʿalaykum ommahatukum wabanatukum waakhawatukum waʿammatukum wakhalatukum wabanatu alakhi wabanatu alokhti waommahatukumu allatee ardaʿnakum waakhawatukum mina alrradaʿati waommahatu nisaikum warabaibukumu allatee fee hujoorikum min nisaikumu allatee dakhaltum bihinna fain lam takoonoo dakhaltum bihinna fala junaha ʿalaykum wahalailu abnaikumu allatheena min aslabikum waan tajmaʿoo bayna alokhtayni illa ma qad salafa inna Allaha kana ghafooran raheeman
Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡ ۖ كِتَٰبَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ۚ وَ أُحِلَّ لَكُم مَّا وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكُمۡ أَن تَبۡتَغُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِكُم مُّحۡصِنِينَ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحِينَ ۚ فَمَا ٱسۡتَمۡتَعۡتُم بِهِۦ مِنۡهُنَّ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةࣰ ۚ وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِيمَا تَرَٰضَيۡتُم بِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡفَرِيضَةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿٢٤﴾

And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allāh upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَ مَن لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ مِنكُمۡ طَوۡلًا أَن يَنكِحَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ فَمِن مَّا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُم مِّن فَتَيَٰتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِكُم ۚ بَعۡضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضࣲ ۚ فَٱنكِحُوهُنَّ بِإِذۡنِ أَهۡلِهِنَّ وَ ءَاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ مُحۡصَنَٰتٍ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحَٰتࣲ وَ لَا مُتَّخِذَٰتِ أَخۡدَانࣲ ۚ فَإِذَآ أُحۡصِنَّ فَإِنۡ أَتَيۡنَ بِفَٰحِشَةࣲ فَعَلَيۡهِنَّ نِصۡفُ مَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلۡعَنَتَ مِنكُمۡ ۚ وَ أَن تَصۡبِرُواْ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ﴿٢٥﴾

And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allāh is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due compensation [i.e., mahr] according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears affliction [i.e., sin], but to be patient is better for you. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمۡ وَ يَهۡدِيَكُمۡ سُنَنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَ يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمࣱ﴿٢٦﴾
Yureedu Allahu liyubayyina lakum wayahdiyakum sunana allatheena min qablikum wayatooba ʿalaykum waAllahu ʿaleemun hakeemun
Allāh wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
وَ ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ يُرِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ أَن تَمِيلُواْ مَيۡلًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٢٧﴾
WaAllahu yureedu an yatooba ʿalaykum wayureedu allatheena yattabiʿoona alshshahawati an tameeloo maylan ʿatheeman
Allāh wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation.
يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمۡ ۚ وَ خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ ضَعِيفࣰا﴿٢٨﴾
Yureedu Allahu an yukhaffifa ʿankum wakhuliqa alinsanu daʿeefan
And Allāh wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَأۡكُلُوٓاْ أَمۡوَٰلَكُم بَيۡنَكُم بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَٰرَةً عَن تَرَاضࣲ مِّنكُمۡ ۚ وَ لَا تَقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمࣰا﴿٢٩﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la takuloo amwalakum baynakum bialbatili illa an takoona tijaratan ʿan taradin minkum wala taqtuloo anfusakum inna Allaha kana bikum raheeman
O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allāh is to you ever Merciful.
وَ مَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ عُدۡوَٰنࣰا وَ ظُلۡمࣰا فَسَوۡفَ نُصۡلِيهِ نَارࣰا ۚ وَ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا﴿٣٠﴾
Waman yafʿal thalika ʿudwanan wathulman fasawfa nusleehi naran wakana thalika ʿala Allahi yaseeran
And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allāh, is [always] easy.
إِن تَجۡتَنِبُواْ كَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنۡهَوۡنَ عَنۡهُ نُكَفِّرۡ عَنكُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمۡ وَ نُدۡخِلۡكُم مُّدۡخَلࣰا كَرِيمࣰا﴿٣١﴾
In tajtaniboo kabaira ma tunhawna ʿanhu nukaffir ʿankum sayyiatikum wanudkhilkum mudkhalan kareeman
If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise].
وَ لَا تَتَمَنَّوۡاْ مَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ ۚ لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبࣱ مِّمَّا ٱكۡتَسَبُواْ ۖ وَ لِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِيبࣱ مِّمَّا ٱكۡتَسَبۡنَ ۚ وَ سۡـَٔلُواْ ٱللَّهَ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمࣰا﴿٣٢﴾
Wala tatamannaw ma faddala Allahu bihi baʿdakum ʿala baʿdin lilrrijali naseebun mimma iktasaboo walilnnisai naseebun mimma iktasabna waisaloo Allaha min fadlihi inna Allaha kana bikulli shayin ʿaleeman
And do not wish for that by which Allāh has made some of you exceed others. For men is a share of what they have earned, and for women is a share of what they have earned. And ask Allāh of His bounty. Indeed Allāh is ever, of all things, Knowing.
وَ لِكُلࣲّ جَعَلۡنَا مَوَٰلِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ ٱلۡوَٰلِدَانِ وَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبُونَ ۚ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَقَدَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡ فَـَٔاتُوهُمۡ نَصِيبَهُمۡ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ شَهِيدًا﴿٣٣﴾
Walikullin jaʿalna mawaliya mimma taraka alwalidani waalaqraboona waallatheena ʿaqadat aymanukum faatoohum naseebahum inna Allaha kana ʿala kulli shayin shaheedan
And for all, We have made heirs to what is left by parents and relatives. And to those whom your oaths have bound [to you] - give them their share. Indeed Allāh is ever, over all things, a Witness.
ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ وَ بِمَآ أَنفَقُواْ مِنۡ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ ۚ فَٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتࣱ لِّلۡغَيۡبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَ ٱلَّٰتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَ ٱهۡجُرُوهُنَّ فِي ٱلۡمَضَاجِعِ وَ ٱضۡرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ فَإِنۡ أَطَعۡنَكُمۡ فَلَا تَبۡغُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ سَبِيلًا ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيࣰّا كَبِيرࣰا﴿٣٤﴾

Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allāh has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allāh would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them [lightly]. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted and Grand.
وَ إِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ شِقَاقَ بَيۡنِهِمَا فَٱبۡعَثُواْ حَكَمࣰا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَ حَكَمࣰا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهَآ إِن يُرِيدَآ إِصۡلَٰحࣰا يُوَفِّقِ ٱللَّهُ بَيۡنَهُمَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا خَبِيرࣰا﴿٣٥﴾
Wain khiftum shiqaqa baynihima faibʿathoo hakaman min ahlihi wahakaman min ahliha in yureeda islahan yuwaffiqi Allahu baynahuma inna Allaha kana ʿaleeman khabeeran
And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allāh will cause it between them. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Aware.
وَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ لَا تُشۡرِكُواْ بِهِۦ شَيۡـࣰٔا ۖ وَ بِٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ إِحۡسَٰنࣰا وَ بِذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَ ٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ وَ ٱلۡمَسَٰكِينِ وَ ٱلۡجَارِ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَ ٱلۡجَارِ ٱلۡجُنُبِ وَ ٱلصَّاحِبِ بِٱلۡجَنۢبِ وَ ٱبۡنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُمۡ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخۡتَالࣰا فَخُورًا﴿٣٦﴾
Waoʿbudoo Allaha wala tushrikoo bihi shayan wabialwalidayni ihsanan wabithee alqurba waalyatama waalmasakeeni waaljari thee alqurba waaljari aljunubi waalssahibi bialjanbi waibni alssabeeli wama malakat aymanukum inna Allaha la yuhibbu man kana mukhtalan fakhooran
Worship Allāh and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allāh does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful,
ٱلَّذِينَ يَبۡخَلُونَ وَ يَأۡمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلۡبُخۡلِ وَ يَكۡتُمُونَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ ۗ وَ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابࣰا مُّهِينࣰا﴿٣٧﴾
Allatheena yabkhaloona wayamuroona alnnasa bialbukhli wayaktumoona ma atahumu Allahu min fadlihi waaʿtadna lilkafireena ʿathaban muheenan
Who are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess and conceal what Allāh has given them of His bounty - and We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment -
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَ لَا بِٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ ۗ وَ مَن يَكُنِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لَهُۥ قَرِينࣰا فَسَآءَ قَرِينࣰا﴿٣٨﴾
Waallatheena yunfiqoona amwalahum riaa alnnasi wala yuminoona biAllahi wala bialyawmi alakhiri waman yakuni alshshaytanu lahu qareenan fasaa qareenan
And [also] those who spend of their wealth to be seen by the people and believe not in Allāh nor in the Last Day. And he to whom Satan is a companion - then evil is he as a companion.
وَ مَاذَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ لَوۡ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَ أَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمۡ عَلِيمًا﴿٣٩﴾
Wamatha ʿalayhim law amanoo biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri waanfaqoo mimma razaqahumu Allahu wakana Allahu bihim ʿaleeman
And what [harm would come] upon them if they believed in Allāh and the Last Day and spent out of what Allāh provided for them? And Allāh is ever, about them, Knowing.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةࣲ ۖ وَ إِن تَكُ حَسَنَةࣰ يُضَٰعِفۡهَا وَ يُؤۡتِ مِن لَّدُنۡهُ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٤٠﴾
Inna Allaha la yathlimu mithqala tharratin wain taku hasanatan yudaʿifha wayuti min ladunhu ajran ʿatheeman
Indeed, Allāh does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.
فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جِئۡنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةِۭ بِشَهِيدࣲ وَ جِئۡنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شَهِيدࣰا﴿٤١﴾
Fakayfa itha jina min kulli ommatin bishaheedin wajina bika ʿala haolai shaheedan
So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and We bring you, [O Muḥammad], against these [people] as a witness?
يَوۡمَئِذࣲ يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَ عَصَوُاْ ٱلرَّسُولَ لَوۡ تُسَوَّىٰ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَ لَا يَكۡتُمُونَ ٱللَّهَ حَدِيثࣰا﴿٤٢﴾
Yawmaithin yawaddu allatheena kafaroo waʿasawoo alrrasoola law tusawwa bihimu alardu wala yaktumoona Allaha hadeethan
That Day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger will wish they could be covered by the earth. And they will not conceal from Allāh a [single] statement.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَ أَنتُمۡ سُكَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعۡلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَ لَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىٰ تَغۡتَسِلُواْ ۚ 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 أَيۡدِيكُمۡ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا﴿٤٣﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la taqraboo alssalata waantum sukara hatta taʿlamoo ma taqooloona wala junuban illa ʿabiree sabeelin hatta taghtasiloo wain kuntum marda aw ʿala safarin aw jaa ahadun minkum mina alghaiti aw lamastumu alnnisaa falam tajidoo maan fatayammamoo saʿeedan tayyiban faimsahoo biwujoohikum waaydeekum inna Allaha kana ʿafuwwan ghafooran
O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janābah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women [i.e., had sexual intercourse] and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allāh is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ يَشۡتَرُونَ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةَ وَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن تَضِلُّواْ ٱلسَّبِيلَ﴿٤٤﴾
Alam tara ila allatheena ootoo naseeban mina alkitabi yashtaroona alddalalata wayureedoona an tadilloo alssabeela
Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, purchasing error [in exchange for it] and wishing you would lose the way?
وَ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِأَعۡدَآئِكُمۡ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَلِيࣰّا وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ نَصِيرࣰا﴿٤٥﴾
WaAllahu aʿlamu biaʿdaikum wakafa biAllahi waliyyan wakafa biAllahi naseeran
And Allāh is most knowing of your enemies; and sufficient is Allāh as an ally, and sufficient is Allāh as a helper.
مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَ يَقُولُونَ سَمِعۡنَا وَ عَصَيۡنَا وَ ٱسۡمَعۡ غَيۡرَ مُسۡمَعࣲ وَ رَٰعِنَا لَيَّۢا بِأَلۡسِنَتِهِمۡ وَ طَعۡنࣰا فِي ٱلدِّينِ ۚ وَ لَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَ أَطَعۡنَا وَ ٱسۡمَعۡ وَ ٱنظُرۡنَا لَكَانَ خَيۡرࣰا لَّهُمۡ وَ أَقۡوَمَ وَ لَٰكِن لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣰا﴿٤٦﴾

Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not heard" and "Rāʿinā," twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], "We hear and obey" and "Wait for us [to understand]," it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allāh has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَا نَزَّلۡنَا مُصَدِّقࣰا لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن نَّطۡمِسَ وُجُوهࣰا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَارِهَآ أَوۡ نَلۡعَنَهُمۡ كَمَا لَعَنَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلسَّبۡتِ ۚ وَ كَانَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفۡعُولًا﴿٤٧﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena ootoo alkitaba aminoo bima nazzalna musaddiqan lima maʿakum min qabli an natmisa wujoohan fanaruddaha ʿala adbariha aw nalʿanahum kama laʿanna ashaba alssabti wakana amru Allahi mafʿoolan
O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the matter [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ أَن يُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَ يَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰٓ إِثۡمًا عَظِيمًا﴿٤٨﴾
Inna Allaha la yaghfiru an yushraka bihi wayaghfiru ma doona thalika liman yashao waman yushrik biAllahi faqadi iftara ithman ʿatheeman
Indeed, Allāh does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allāh has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُم ۚ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يُزَكِّي مَن يَشَآءُ وَ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا﴿٤٩﴾
Alam tara ila allatheena yuzakkoona anfusahum bali Allahu yuzakkee man yashao wala yuthlamoona fateelan
Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, Allāh purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed].
ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ ۖ وَ كَفَىٰ بِهِۦٓ إِثۡمࣰا مُّبِينًا﴿٥٠﴾
Onthur kayfa yaftaroona ʿala Allahi alkathiba wakafa bihi ithman mubeenan
Look how they invent about Allāh untruth, and sufficient is that as a manifest sin.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡجِبۡتِ وَ ٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَ يَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَهۡدَىٰ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ سَبِيلًا﴿٥١﴾
Alam tara ila allatheena ootoo naseeban mina alkitabi yuminoona bialjibti waalttaghooti wayaqooloona lillatheena kafaroo haolai ahda mina allatheena amanoo sabeelan
Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, who believe in jibt [superstition] and ṭāghūt [false objects of worship] and say about the disbelievers, "These are better guided than the believers as to the way"?
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَ مَن يَلۡعَنِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ نَصِيرًا﴿٥٢﴾
Olaika allatheena laʿanahumu Allahu waman yalʿani Allahu falan tajida lahu naseeran
Those are the ones whom Allāh has cursed; and he whom Allāh curses - never will you find for him a helper.
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ نَصِيبࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ فَإِذࣰا لَّا يُؤۡتُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ نَقِيرًا﴿٥٣﴾
Am lahum naseebun mina almulki faithan la yutoona alnnasa naqeeran
Or have they a share of dominion? Then [if that were so], they would not give the people [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
أَمۡ يَحۡسُدُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ ۖ فَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَآ ءَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مُّلۡكًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٥٤﴾
Am yahsudoona alnnasa ʿala ma atahumu Allahu min fadlihi faqad atayna ala ibraheema alkitaba waalhikmata waataynahum mulkan ʿatheeman
Or do they envy people for what Allāh has given them of His bounty? But We had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom.
فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَ مِنۡهُم مَّن صَدَّ عَنۡهُ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيرًا﴿٥٥﴾
Faminhum man amana bihi waminhum man sadda ʿanhu wakafa bijahannama saʿeeran
And some among them believed in it, and some among them were averse to it. And sufficient is Hell as a blaze.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا سَوۡفَ نُصۡلِيهِمۡ نَارࣰا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتۡ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ جُلُودًا غَيۡرَهَا لِيَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿٥٦﴾
Inna allatheena kafaroo biayatina sawfa nusleehim naran kullama nadijat julooduhum baddalnahum juloodan ghayraha liyathooqoo alʿathaba inna Allaha kana ʿazeezan hakeeman
Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a fire. Every time their skins are roasted through, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنَّٰتࣲ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدࣰا ۖ لَّهُمۡ فِيهَآ أَزۡوَٰجࣱ مُّطَهَّرَةࣱ ۖ وَ نُدۡخِلُهُمۡ ظِلࣰّا ظَلِيلًا﴿٥٧﴾
Waallatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati sanudkhiluhum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan lahum feeha azwajun mutahharatun wanudkhiluhum thillan thaleelan
But those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide forever. For them therein are purified spouses, and We will admit them to deepening shade.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ أَن تُؤَدُّواْ ٱلۡأَمَٰنَٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهَا وَ إِذَا حَكَمۡتُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحۡكُمُواْ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرࣰا﴿٥٨﴾
Inna Allaha yamurukum an tuaddoo alamanati ila ahliha waitha hakamtum bayna alnnasi an tahkumoo bialʿadli inna Allaha niʿimma yaʿithukum bihi inna Allaha kana sameeʿan baseeran
Indeed, Allāh commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allāh instructs you. Indeed, Allāh is ever Hearing and Seeing.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَ أُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡ ۖ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي شَيۡءࣲ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرࣱ وَ أَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلًا﴿٥٩﴾

O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allāh and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَزۡعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمۡ ءَامَنُواْ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَ قَدۡ أُمِرُوٓاْ أَن يَكۡفُرُواْ بِهِۦ ۖ وَ يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَن يُضِلَّهُمۡ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدࣰا﴿٦٠﴾

Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to ṭāghūt, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray.
وَ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ رَأَيۡتَ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنكَ صُدُودࣰا﴿٦١﴾
Waitha qeela lahum taʿalaw ila ma anzala Allahu waila alrrasooli raayta almunafiqeena yasuddoona ʿanka sudoodan
And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allāh has revealed and to the Messenger," you see the hypocrites turning away from you in aversion.
فَكَيۡفَ إِذَآ أَصَٰبَتۡهُم مُّصِيبَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ ثُمَّ جَآءُوكَ يَحۡلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنۡ أَرَدۡنَآ إِلَّآ إِحۡسَٰنࣰا وَ تَوۡفِيقًا﴿٦٢﴾
Fakayfa itha asabathum museebatun bima qaddamat aydeehim thumma jaooka yahlifoona biAllahi in aradna illa ihsanan watawfeeqan
So how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by Allāh, "We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation."
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡلَمُ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَ عِظۡهُمۡ وَ قُل لَّهُمۡ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ قَوۡلَۢا بَلِيغࣰا﴿٦٣﴾
Olaika allatheena yaʿlamu Allahu ma fee quloobihim faaʿrid ʿanhum waʿithhum waqul lahum fee anfusihim qawlan baleeghan
Those are the ones of whom Allāh knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them but admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching [i.e., effective] word.
وَ مَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَ لَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ إِذ ظَّلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ جَآءُوكَ فَٱسۡتَغۡفَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَ ٱسۡتَغۡفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿٦٤﴾

And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allāh. And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muḥammad], and asked forgiveness of Allāh and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allāh Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.
فَلَا وَ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ حَرَجࣰا مِّمَّا قَضَيۡتَ وَ يُسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمࣰا﴿٦٥﴾
Fala warabbika la yuminoona hatta yuhakkimooka feema shajara baynahum thumma la yajidoo fee anfusihim harajan mimma qadayta wayusallimoo tasleeman
But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muḥammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.
وَ لَوۡ أَنَّا كَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنِ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ أَوِ ٱخۡرُجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِكُم مَّا فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ ۖ وَ لَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ فَعَلُواْ مَا يُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ لَكَانَ خَيۡرࣰا لَّهُمۡ وَ أَشَدَّ تَثۡبِيتࣰا﴿٦٦﴾
Walaw anna katabna ʿalayhim ani oqtuloo anfusakum awi okhrujoo min diyarikum ma faʿaloohu illa qaleelun minhum walaw annahum faʿaloo ma yooʿathoona bihi lakana khayran lahum waashadda tathbeetan
And if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith].
وَ إِذࣰا لَّأٓتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّن لَّدُنَّآ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٦٧﴾
Waithan laataynahum min ladunna ajran ʿatheeman
And then We would have given them from Us a great reward.
وَ لَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمۡ صِرَٰطࣰا مُّسۡتَقِيمࣰا﴿٦٨﴾
Walahadaynahum siratan mustaqeeman
And We would have guided them to a straight path.
وَ مَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ ٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۚ وَ حَسُنَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقࣰا﴿٦٩﴾

And whoever obeys Allāh and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allāh has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ عَلِيمࣰا﴿٧٠﴾
Thalika alfadlu mina Allahi wakafa biAllahi ʿaleeman
That is the bounty from Allāh, and sufficient is Allāh as Knower.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ خُذُواْ حِذۡرَكُمۡ فَٱنفِرُواْ ثُبَاتٍ أَوِ ٱنفِرُواْ جَمِيعࣰا﴿٧١﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo khuthoo hithrakum fainfiroo thubatin awi infiroo jameeʿan
O you who have believed, take your precaution and [either] go forth in companies or go forth all together.
وَ إِنَّ مِنكُمۡ لَمَن لَّيُبَطِّئَنَّ فَإِنۡ أَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةࣱ قَالَ قَدۡ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيَّ إِذۡ لَمۡ أَكُن مَّعَهُمۡ شَهِيدࣰا﴿٧٢﴾
Wainna minkum laman layubattianna fain asabatkum museebatun qala qad anʿama Allahu ʿalayya ith lam akun maʿahum shaheedan
And indeed, there is among you he who lingers behind; and if disaster strikes you, he says, "Allāh has favored me in that I was not present with them."
وَ لَئِنۡ أَصَٰبَكُمۡ فَضۡلࣱ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَيَقُولَنَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ تَكُنۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَ بَيۡنَهُۥ مَوَدَّةࣱ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ مَعَهُمۡ فَأَفُوزَ فَوۡزًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٧٣﴾
Walain asabakum fadlun mina Allahi layaqoolanna kaan lam takun baynakum wabaynahu mawaddatun ya laytanee kuntu maʿahum faafooza fawzan ʿatheeman
But if bounty comes to you from Allāh, he will surely say, as if [i.e., showing that] there had never been between you and him any affection, "Oh, I wish I had been with them so I could have attained a great attainment."
فَلۡيُقَٰتِلۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشۡرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ ۚ وَ مَن يُقَٰتِلۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيُقۡتَلۡ أَوۡ يَغۡلِبۡ فَسَوۡفَ نُؤۡتِيهِ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٧٤﴾
Falyuqatil fee sabeeli Allahi allatheena yashroona alhayata alddunya bialakhirati waman yuqatil fee sabeeli Allahi fayuqtal aw yaghlib fasawfa nuteehi ajran ʿatheeman
So let those fight in the cause of Allāh who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allāh and is killed or achieves victory - We will bestow upon him a great reward.
وَ مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَ ٱلۡوِلۡدَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهۡلُهَا وَ ٱجۡعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيࣰّا وَ ٱجۡعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا﴿٧٥﴾
Wama lakum la tuqatiloona fee sabeeli Allahi waalmustadʿafeena mina alrrijali waalnnisai waalwildani allatheena yaqooloona rabbana akhrijna min hathihi alqaryati alththalimi ahluha waijʿal lana min ladunka waliyyan waijʿal lana min ladunka naseeran
And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allāh and [for] the oppressed among men, women and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper"?
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱلطَّٰغُوتِ فَقَٰتِلُوٓاْ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ۖ إِنَّ كَيۡدَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا﴿٧٦﴾
Allatheena amanoo yuqatiloona fee sabeeli Allahi waallatheena kafaroo yuqatiloona fee sabeeli alttaghooti faqatiloo awliyaa alshshaytani inna kayda alshshaytani kana daʿeefan
Those who believe fight in the cause of Allāh, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of ṭāghūt. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ كُفُّوٓاْ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَ أَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَ ءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقِتَالُ إِذَا فَرِيقࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَخۡشَوۡنَ ٱلنَّاسَ كَخَشۡيَةِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ أَشَدَّ خَشۡيَةࣰ ۚ وَ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لِمَ كَتَبۡتَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡقِتَالَ لَوۡلَآ أَخَّرۡتَنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلࣲ قَرِيبࣲ ۗ قُلۡ مَتَٰعُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا قَلِيلࣱ وَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرࣱ لِّمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَ لَا تُظۡلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا﴿٧٧﴾

Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakāh"? But then when battle was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allāh or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say, "The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allāh. And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."
أَيۡنَمَا تَكُونُواْ يُدۡرِككُّمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ وَ لَوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُرُوجࣲ مُّشَيَّدَةࣲ ۗ وَ إِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ حَسَنَةࣱ يَقُولُواْ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَ إِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةࣱ يَقُولُواْ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِكَ ۚ قُلۡ كُلࣱّ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَمَالِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفۡقَهُونَ حَدِيثࣰا﴿٧٨﴾

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allāh"; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allāh." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?
مَّآ أَصَابَكَ مِنۡ حَسَنَةࣲ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَ مَآ أَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةࣲ فَمِن نَّفۡسِكَ ۚ وَ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولࣰا ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدࣰا﴿٧٩﴾
Ma asabaka min hasanatin famina Allahi wama asabaka min sayyiatin famin nafsika waarsalnaka lilnnasi rasoolan wakafa biAllahi shaheedan
What comes to you of good is from Allāh, but what comes to you of evil, [O man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muḥammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allāh as Witness.
مَّن يُطِعِ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدۡ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَ ۖ وَ مَن تَوَلَّىٰ فَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيظࣰا﴿٨٠﴾
Man yutiʿi alrrasoola faqad ataʿa Allaha waman tawalla fama arsalnaka ʿalayhim hafeethan
He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allāh; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian.
وَ يَقُولُونَ طَاعَةࣱ فَإِذَا بَرَزُواْ مِنۡ عِندِكَ بَيَّتَ طَآئِفَةࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُ ۖ وَ ٱللَّهُ يَكۡتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُونَ ۖ فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَ تَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًا﴿٨١﴾
Wayaqooloona taʿatun faitha barazoo min ʿindika bayyata taifatun minhum ghayra allathee taqoolu waAllahu yaktubu ma yubayyitoona faaʿrid ʿanhum watawakkal ʿala Allahi wakafa biAllahi wakeelan
And they say, "[We pledge] obedience." But when they leave you, a group of them spend the night determining to do other than what you say. But Allāh records what they plan by night. So leave them alone and rely upon Allāh. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ ۚ وَ لَوۡ كَانَ مِنۡ عِندِ غَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ ٱخۡتِلَٰفࣰا كَثِيرࣰا﴿٨٢﴾
Afala yatadabbaroona alqurana walaw kana min ʿindi ghayri Allahi lawajadoo feehi ikhtilafan katheeran
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’ān? If it had been from [any] other than Allāh, they would have found within it much contradiction.
وَ إِذَا جَآءَهُمۡ أَمۡرࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡنِ أَوِ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ أَذَاعُواْ بِهِۦ ۖ وَ لَوۡ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَ إِلَىٰٓ أُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنۡهُمۡ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنۡهُمۡ ۗ وَ لَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ رَحۡمَتُهُۥ لَٱتَّبَعۡتُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣰا﴿٨٣﴾

And when there comes to them something [i.e., information] about [public] security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan, except for a few.
فَقَٰتِلۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفۡسَكَ ۚ وَ حَرِّضِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ۖ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَكُفَّ بَأۡسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ۚ وَ ٱللَّهُ أَشَدُّ بَأۡسࣰا وَ أَشَدُّ تَنكِيلࣰا﴿٨٤﴾
Faqatil fee sabeeli Allahi la tukallafu illa nafsaka waharridi almumineena ʿasa Allahu an yakuffa basa allatheena kafaroo waAllahu ashaddu basan waashaddu tankeelan
So fight, [O Muḥammad], in the cause of Allāh; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allāh will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allāh is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.
مَّن يَشۡفَعۡ شَفَٰعَةً حَسَنَةࣰ يَكُن لَّهُۥ نَصِيبࣱ مِّنۡهَا ۖ وَ مَن يَشۡفَعۡ شَفَٰعَةࣰ سَيِّئَةࣰ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كِفۡلࣱ مِّنۡهَا ۗ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ مُّقِيتࣰا﴿٨٥﴾
Man yashfaʿ shafaʿatan hasanatan yakun lahu naseebun minha waman yashfaʿ shafaʿatan sayyiatan yakun lahu kiflun minha wakana Allahu ʿala kulli shayin muqeetan
Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share [i.e., reward] therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a portion [i.e., burden] therefrom. And ever is Allāh, over all things, a Keeper.
وَ إِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةࣲ فَحَيُّواْ بِأَحۡسَنَ مِنۡهَآ أَوۡ رُدُّوهَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ حَسِيبًا﴿٨٦﴾
Waitha huyyeetum bitahiyyatin fahayyoo biahsana minha aw ruddooha inna Allaha kana ʿala kulli shayin haseeban
And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it [in a like manner]. Indeed Allāh is ever, over all things, an Accountant.
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ لَيَجۡمَعَنَّكُمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ ۗ وَ مَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حَدِيثࣰا﴿٨٧﴾
Allahu la ilaha illa huwa layajmaʿannakum ila yawmi alqiyamati la rayba feehi waman asdaqu mina Allahi hadeethan
Allāh - there is no deity except Him. He will surely assemble you for [account on] the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. And who is more truthful than Allāh in statement.
فَمَا لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ فِئَتَيۡنِ وَ ٱللَّهُ أَرۡكَسَهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوٓاْ ۚ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَهۡدُواْ مَنۡ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَ مَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ سَبِيلࣰا﴿٨٨﴾
Fama lakum fee almunafiqeena fiatayni waAllahu arkasahum bima kasaboo atureedoona an tahdoo man adalla Allahu waman yudlili Allahu falan tajida lahu sabeelan
What is [the matter] with you [that you are] two groups concerning the hypocrites, while Allāh has made them fall back [into error and disbelief] for what they earned. Do you wish to guide those whom Allāh has sent astray? And he whom Allāh sends astray - never will you find for him a way [of guidance].
وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُواْ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءࣰ ۖ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَخُذُوهُمۡ وَ ٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡ ۖ وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ وَلِيࣰّا وَ لَا نَصِيرًا﴿٨٩﴾

They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allāh. But if they turn away [i.e., refuse], then seize them and kill them [for their betrayal] wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِۭ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَ بَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٌ أَوۡ جَآءُوكُمۡ حَصِرَتۡ صُدُورُهُمۡ أَن يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ أَوۡ يُقَٰتِلُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡ ۚ وَ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَلَقَٰتَلُوكُمۡ ۚ فَإِنِ ٱعۡتَزَلُوكُمۡ فَلَمۡ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ وَ أَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ فَمَا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبِيلࣰا﴿٩٠﴾

Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allāh had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allāh has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them.
سَتَجِدُونَ ءَاخَرِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَأۡمَنُوكُمۡ وَ يَأۡمَنُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡ كُلَّ مَا رُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ أُرۡكِسُواْ فِيهَا ۚ فَإِن لَّمۡ يَعۡتَزِلُوكُمۡ وَ يُلۡقُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ وَ يَكُفُّوٓاْ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ فَخُذُوهُمۡ وَ ٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوهُمۡ ۚ وَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكُمۡ جَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنࣰا مُّبِينࣰا﴿٩١﴾

You will find others who wish to obtain security from you and [to] obtain security from their people. Every time they are returned to [the influence of] disbelief, they fall back into it. So if they do not withdraw from you or offer you peace or restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you overtake them. And those - We have made for you against them a clear authorization.
وَ مَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٍ أَن يَقۡتُلَ مُؤۡمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَـࣰٔا ۚ وَ مَن قَتَلَ مُؤۡمِنًا خَطَـࣰٔا فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةࣲ مُّؤۡمِنَةࣲ وَ دِيَةࣱ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَصَّدَّقُواْ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمٍ عَدُوࣲّ لَّكُمۡ وَ هُوَ مُؤۡمِنࣱ فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةࣲ مُّؤۡمِنَةࣲ ۖ وَ إِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمِۭ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَ بَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَٰقࣱ فَدِيَةࣱ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَ تَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةࣲ مُّؤۡمِنَةࣲ ۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ تَوۡبَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿٩٢﴾

And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment [diyah] presented to his [i.e., the deceased's] family [is required], unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if he [i.e., the deceased] was from a people at war with you and he was a believer - then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allāh. And Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَ مَن يَقۡتُلۡ مُؤۡمِنࣰا مُّتَعَمِّدࣰا فَجَزَآؤُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُ خَٰلِدࣰا فِيهَا وَ غَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَ لَعَنَهُۥ وَ أَعَدَّ لَهُۥ عَذَابًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٩٣﴾
Waman yaqtul muminan mutaʿammidan fajazaohu jahannamu khalidan feeha waghadiba Allahu ʿalayhi walaʿanahu waaʿadda lahu ʿathaban ʿatheeman
But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allāh has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُواْ وَ لَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَنۡ أَلۡقَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَٰمَ لَسۡتَ مُؤۡمِنࣰا تَبۡتَغُونَ عَرَضَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَةࣱ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبۡلُ فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓاْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرࣰا﴿٩٤﴾

O you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of Allāh, investigate; and do not say to one who gives you [a greeting of] peace, "You are not a believer," aspiring for the goods of worldly life; for with Allāh are many acquisitions. You [yourselves] were like that before; then Allāh conferred His favor [i.e., guidance] upon you, so investigate. Indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware.
لَّا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡقَٰعِدُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ غَيۡرُ أُوْلِي ٱلضَّرَرِ وَ ٱلۡمُجَٰهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَ أَنفُسِهِمۡ ۚ فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُجَٰهِدِينَ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَ أَنفُسِهِمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡقَٰعِدِينَ دَرَجَةࣰ ۚ وَ كُلࣰّا وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ۚ وَ فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُجَٰهِدِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَٰعِدِينَ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿٩٥﴾

Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled - and the mujāhideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of Allāh with their wealth and their lives. Allāh has preferred the mujāhideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain [behind], by degrees. And to all [i.e., both] Allāh has promised the best [reward]. But Allāh has preferred the mujāhideen over those who remain [behind] with a great reward -
دَرَجَٰتࣲ مِّنۡهُ وَ مَغۡفِرَةࣰ وَ رَحۡمَةࣰ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمًا﴿٩٦﴾
Darajatin minhu wamaghfiratan warahmatan wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman
Degrees [of high position] from Him and forgiveness and mercy. And Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ قَالُواْ فِيمَ كُنتُمۡ ۖ قَالُواْ كُنَّا مُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ قَالُوٓاْ أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ أَرۡضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةࣰ فَتُهَاجِرُواْ فِيهَا ۚ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَ سَآءَتۡ مَصِيرًا﴿٩٧﴾

Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." They [the angels] will say, "Was not the earth of Allāh spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination.
إِلَّا ٱلۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَ ٱلۡوِلۡدَٰنِ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةࣰ وَ لَا يَهۡتَدُونَ سَبِيلࣰا﴿٩٨﴾
Illa almustadʿafeena mina alrrijali waalnnisai waalwildani la yastateeʿoona heelatan wala yahtadoona sabeelan
Except for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way -
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَعۡفُوَ عَنۡهُمۡ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورࣰا﴿٩٩﴾
Faolaika ʿasa Allahu an yaʿfuwa ʿanhum wakana Allahu ʿafuwwan ghafooran
For those it is expected that Allāh will pardon them, and Allāh is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.
وَ مَن يُهَاجِرۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ يَجِدۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُرَٰغَمࣰا كَثِيرࣰا وَ سَعَةࣰ ۚ وَ مَن يَخۡرُجۡ مِنۢ بَيۡتِهِۦ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ يُدۡرِكۡهُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَقَدۡ وَقَعَ أَجۡرُهُۥ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿١٠٠﴾

And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allāh will find on the earth many [alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allāh and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his reward has already become incumbent upon Allāh. And Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ إِذَا ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَلَيۡسَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَقۡصُرُواْ مِنَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ إِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ أَن يَفۡتِنَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ كَانُواْ لَكُمۡ عَدُوࣰّا مُّبِينࣰا﴿١٠١﴾
Waitha darabtum fee alardi falaysa ʿalaykum junahun an taqsuroo mina alssalati in khiftum an yaftinakumu allatheena kafaroo inna alkafireena kanoo lakum ʿaduwwan mubeenan
And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.
وَ إِذَا كُنتَ فِيهِمۡ فَأَقَمۡتَ لَهُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَلۡتَقُمۡ طَآئِفَةࣱ مِّنۡهُم مَّعَكَ وَ لۡيَأۡخُذُوٓاْ أَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡ ۖ فَإِذَا سَجَدُواْ فَلۡيَكُونُواْ مِن وَرَآئِكُمۡ وَ لۡتَأۡتِ طَآئِفَةٌ أُخۡرَىٰ لَمۡ يُصَلُّواْ فَلۡيُصَلُّواْ مَعَكَ وَ لۡيَأۡخُذُواْ حِذۡرَهُمۡ وَ أَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡ ۗ وَدَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ تَغۡفُلُونَ عَنۡ أَسۡلِحَتِكُمۡ وَ أَمۡتِعَتِكُمۡ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيۡكُم مَّيۡلَةࣰ وَٰحِدَةࣰ ۚ وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِن كَانَ بِكُمۡ أَذࣰى مِّن مَّطَرٍ أَوۡ كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰٓ أَن تَضَعُوٓاْ أَسۡلِحَتَكُمۡ ۖ وَ خُذُواْ حِذۡرَكُمۡ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابࣰا مُّهِينࣰا﴿١٠٢﴾

And when you [i.e., the commander of an army] are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they have prostrated, let them be [in position] behind you and have the other group come forward which has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack. But there is no blame upon you, if you are troubled by rain or are ill, for putting down your arms, but take precaution. Indeed, Allāh has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
فَإِذَا قَضَيۡتُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمࣰا وَ قُعُودࣰا وَ عَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمۡ ۚ فَإِذَا ٱطۡمَأۡنَنتُمۡ فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ كَانَتۡ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ كِتَٰبࣰا مَّوۡقُوتࣰا﴿١٠٣﴾
Faitha qadaytumu alssalata faothkuroo Allaha qiyaman waquʿoodan waʿala junoobikum faitha itmanantum faaqeemoo alssalata inna alssalata kanat ʿala almumineena kitaban mawqootan
And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allāh standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
وَ لَا تَهِنُواْ فِي ٱبۡتِغَآءِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ۖ إِن تَكُونُواْ تَأۡلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَأۡلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأۡلَمُونَ ۖ وَ تَرۡجُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَرۡجُونَ ۗ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا﴿١٠٤﴾
Wala tahinoo fee ibtighai alqawmi in takoonoo talamoona fainnahum yalamoona kama talamoona watarjoona mina Allahi ma la yarjoona wakana Allahu ʿaleeman hakeeman
And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you should be suffering - so are they suffering as you are suffering, but you expect from Allāh that which they expect not. And Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِتَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِمَآ أَرَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَ لَا تَكُن لِّلۡخَآئِنِينَ خَصِيمࣰا﴿١٠٥﴾
Inna anzalna ilayka alkitaba bialhaqqi litahkuma bayna alnnasi bima araka Allahu wala takun lilkhaineena khaseeman
Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which Allāh has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate.
وَ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرِ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿١٠٦﴾
Waistaghfiri Allaha inna Allaha kana ghafooran raheeman
And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ لَا تُجَٰدِلۡ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡتَانُونَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ خَوَّانًا أَثِيمࣰا﴿١٠٧﴾
Wala tujadil ʿani allatheena yakhtanoona anfusahum inna Allaha la yuhibbu man kana khawwanan atheeman
And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, Allāh loves not one who is a habitually sinful deceiver.
يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَ لَا يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَهُمۡ إِذۡ يُبَيِّتُونَ مَا لَا يَرۡضَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطًا﴿١٠٨﴾
Yastakhfoona mina alnnasi wala yastakhfoona mina Allahi wahuwa maʿahum ith yubayyitoona ma la yarda mina alqawli wakana Allahu bima yaʿmaloona muheetan
They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from Allāh, and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And ever is Allāh, of what they do, encompassing.
هَٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ جَٰدَلۡتُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فَمَن يُجَٰدِلُ ٱللَّهَ عَنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَم مَّن يَكُونُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَكِيلࣰا﴿١٠٩﴾
Haantum haolai jadaltum ʿanhum fee alhayati alddunya faman yujadilu Allaha ʿanhum yawma alqiyamati am man yakoonu ʿalayhim wakeelan
Here you are - those who argue on their behalf in [this] worldly life - but who will argue with Allāh for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will [then] be their representative?
وَ مَن يَعۡمَلۡ سُوٓءًا أَوۡ يَظۡلِمۡ نَفۡسَهُۥ ثُمَّ يَسۡتَغۡفِرِ ٱللَّهَ يَجِدِ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿١١٠﴾
Waman yaʿmal sooan aw yathlim nafsahu thumma yastaghfiri Allaha yajidi Allaha ghafooran raheeman
And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allāh will find Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ مَن يَكۡسِبۡ إِثۡمࣰا فَإِنَّمَا يَكۡسِبُهُۥ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١١١﴾
Waman yaksib ithman fainnama yaksibuhu ʿala nafsihi wakana Allahu ʿaleeman hakeeman
And whoever earns [i.e., commits] a sin only earns it against himself. And Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَ مَن يَكۡسِبۡ خَطِيٓـَٔةً أَوۡ إِثۡمࣰا ثُمَّ يَرۡمِ بِهِۦ بَرِيٓـࣰٔا فَقَدِ ٱحۡتَمَلَ بُهۡتَٰنࣰا وَ إِثۡمࣰا مُّبِينࣰا﴿١١٢﴾
Waman yaksib khateeatan aw ithman thumma yarmi bihi bareean faqadi ihtamala buhtanan waithman mubeenan
But whoever earns an offense or a sin and then blames it on an innocent [person] has taken upon himself a slander and manifest sin.
وَ لَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكَ وَ رَحۡمَتُهُۥ لَهَمَّت طَّآئِفَةࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُضِلُّوكَ وَ مَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ ۖ وَ مَا يَضُرُّونَكَ مِن شَيۡءࣲ ۚ وَ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَ عَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمۡ تَكُن تَعۡلَمُ ۚ وَ كَانَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكَ عَظِيمࣰا﴿١١٣﴾
Walawla fadlu Allahi ʿalayka warahmatuhu lahammat taifatun minhum an yudillooka wama yudilloona illa anfusahum wama yadurroonaka min shayin waanzala Allahu ʿalayka alkitaba waalhikmata waʿallamaka ma lam takun taʿlamu wakana fadlu Allahi ʿalayka ʿatheeman
And if it was not for the favor of Allāh upon you, [O Muḥammad], and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they will not harm you at all. And Allāh has revealed to you the Book and wisdom and has taught you that which you did not know. And ever has the favor of Allāh upon you been great.
لَّا خَيۡرَ فِي كَثِيرࣲ مِّن نَّجۡوَىٰهُمۡ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوۡ مَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ إِصۡلَٰحِۭ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ وَ مَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ فَسَوۡفَ نُؤۡتِيهِ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿١١٤﴾
La khayra fee katheerin min najwahum illa man amara bisadaqatin aw maʿroofin aw islahin bayna alnnasi waman yafʿal thalika ibtighaa mardati Allahi fasawfa nuteehi ajran ʿatheeman
No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allāh - then We are going to give him a great reward.
وَ مَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَ يَتَّبِعۡ غَيۡرَ سَبِيلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِۦ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَ نُصۡلِهِۦ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَ سَآءَتۡ مَصِيرًا﴿١١٥﴾
Waman yushaqiqi alrrasoola min baʿdi ma tabayyana lahu alhuda wayattabiʿ ghayra sabeeli almumineena nuwallihi ma tawalla wanuslihi jahannama wasaat maseeran
And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers - We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ أَن يُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَ يَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدًا﴿١١٦﴾
Inna Allaha la yaghfiru an yushraka bihi wayaghfiru ma doona thalika liman yashao waman yushrik biAllahi faqad dalla dalalan baʿeedan
Indeed, Allāh does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allāh has certainly gone far astray.
إِن يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ إِنَٰثࣰا وَ إِن يَدۡعُونَ إِلَّا شَيۡطَٰنࣰا مَّرِيدࣰا﴿١١٧﴾
In yadʿoona min doonihi illa inathan wain yadʿoona illa shaytanan mareedan
They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Satan,
لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ ۘ وَ قَالَ لَأَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنۡ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيبࣰا مَّفۡرُوضࣰا﴿١١٨﴾
Laʿanahu Allahu waqala laattakhithanna min ʿibadika naseeban mafroodan
Whom Allāh has cursed. For he had said, "I will surely take from among Your servants a specific portion.
وَ لَأُضِلَّنَّهُمۡ وَ لَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمۡ وَ لَأٓمُرَنَّهُمۡ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ وَ لَأٓمُرَنَّهُمۡ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلۡقَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَ مَن يَتَّخِذِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ وَلِيࣰّا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ خَسِرَ خُسۡرَانࣰا مُّبِينࣰا﴿١١٩﴾
Walaodillannahum walaomanniyannahum walaamurannahum falayubattikunna athana alanʿami walaamurannahum falayughayyirunna khalqa Allahi waman yattakhithi alshshaytana waliyyan min dooni Allahi faqad khasira khusranan mubeenan
And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allāh." And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allāh has certainly sustained a clear loss.
يَعِدُهُمۡ وَ يُمَنِّيهِمۡ ۖ وَ مَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا﴿١٢٠﴾
Yaʿiduhum wayumanneehim wama yaʿiduhumu alshshaytanu illa ghurooran
He [i.e., Satan] promises them and arouses desire in them. But Satan does not promise them except delusion.
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ وَ لَا يَجِدُونَ عَنۡهَا مَحِيصࣰا﴿١٢١﴾
Olaika mawahum jahannamu wala yajidoona ʿanha maheesan
The refuge of those will be Hell, and they will not find from it an escape.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنَّٰتࣲ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدࣰا ۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقࣰّا ۚ وَ مَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ قِيلࣰا﴿١٢٢﴾
Waallatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati sanudkhiluhum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan waʿda Allahi haqqan waman asdaqu mina Allahi qeelan
But the ones who believe and do righteous deeds - We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. [It is] the promise of Allāh, [which is] truth, and who is more truthful than Allāh in statement.
لَّيۡسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمۡ وَ لَآ أَمَانِيِّ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ۗ مَن يَعۡمَلۡ سُوٓءࣰا يُجۡزَ بِهِۦ وَ لَا يَجِدۡ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيࣰّا وَ لَا نَصِيرࣰا﴿١٢٣﴾
Laysa biamaniyyikum wala amaniyyi ahli alkitabi man yaʿmal sooan yujza bihi wala yajid lahu min dooni Allahi waliyyan wala naseeran
It [i.e., Paradise] is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allāh a protector or a helper.
وَ مَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَ هُوَ مُؤۡمِنࣱ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ نَقِيرࣰا﴿١٢٤﴾
Waman yaʿmal mina alssalihati min thakarin aw ontha wahuwa muminun faolaika yadkhuloona aljannata wala yuthlamoona naqeeran
And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
وَ مَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ دِينࣰا مِّمَّنۡ أَسۡلَمَ وَجۡهَهُۥ لِلَّهِ وَ هُوَ مُحۡسِنࣱ وَ ٱتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفࣰا ۗ وَ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ خَلِيلࣰا﴿١٢٥﴾
Waman ahsanu deenan mimman aslama wajhahu lillahi wahuwa muhsinun waittabaʿa millata ibraheema haneefan waittakhatha Allahu ibraheema khaleelan
And who is better in religion than one who submits himself to Allāh while being a doer of good and follows the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth? And Allāh took Abraham as an intimate friend.
وَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ مُّحِيطࣰا﴿١٢٦﴾
Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi wakana Allahu bikulli shayin muheetan
And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And ever is Allāh, of all things, encompassing.
وَ يَسۡتَفۡتُونَكَ فِي ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُفۡتِيكُمۡ فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ فِي يَتَٰمَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ ٱلَّٰتِي لَا تُؤۡتُونَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَ تَرۡغَبُونَ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ وَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلۡوِلۡدَٰنِ وَ أَن تَقُومُواْ لِلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ ۚ وَ مَا تَفۡعَلُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرࣲ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمࣰا﴿١٢٧﴾

And they request from you, [O Muḥammad], a [legal] ruling concerning women. Say, "Allāh gives you a ruling about them and [about] what has been recited to you in the Book concerning the orphan girls to whom you do not give what is decreed for them - and [yet] you desire to marry them - and concerning the oppressed among children and that you maintain for orphans [their rights] in justice." And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing of it.
وَ إِنِ ٱمۡرَأَةٌ خَافَتۡ مِنۢ بَعۡلِهَا نُشُوزًا أَوۡ إِعۡرَاضࣰا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡهِمَآ أَن يُصۡلِحَا بَيۡنَهُمَا صُلۡحࣰا ۚ وَ ٱلصُّلۡحُ خَيۡرࣱ ۗ وَ أُحۡضِرَتِ ٱلۡأَنفُسُ ٱلشُّحَّ ۚ وَ إِن تُحۡسِنُواْ وَ تَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرࣰا﴿١٢٨﴾

And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement is best. And present in [human] souls is stinginess. But if you do good and fear Allāh - then indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware.
وَ لَن تَسۡتَطِيعُوٓاْ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَ لَوۡ حَرَصۡتُمۡ ۖ فَلَا تَمِيلُواْ كُلَّ ٱلۡمَيۡلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلۡمُعَلَّقَةِ ۚ وَ إِن تُصۡلِحُواْ وَ تَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿١٢٩﴾

And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allāh - then indeed, Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
وَ إِن يَتَفَرَّقَا يُغۡنِ ٱللَّهُ كُلࣰّا مِّن سَعَتِهِۦ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١٣٠﴾
Wain yatafarraqa yughni Allahu kullan min saʿatihi wakana Allahu wasiʿan hakeeman
But if they separate [by divorce], Allāh will enrich each [of them] from His abundance. And ever is Allāh Encompassing and Wise.
وَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۗ وَ لَقَدۡ وَصَّيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَ إِيَّاكُمۡ أَنِ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ۚ وَ إِن تَكۡفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَنِيًّا حَمِيدࣰا﴿١٣١﴾

And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And We have instructed those who were given the Scripture before you and yourselves to fear Allāh. But if you disbelieve - then to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And ever is Allāh Free of need and Praiseworthy.
وَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًا﴿١٣٢﴾
Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi wakafa biAllahi wakeelan
And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
إِن يَشَأۡ يُذۡهِبۡكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَ يَأۡتِ بِـَٔاخَرِينَ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ قَدِيرࣰا﴿١٣٣﴾
In yasha yuthhibkum ayyuha alnnasu wayati biakhareena wakana Allahu ʿala thalika qadeeran
If He wills, He can do away with you, O people, and bring others [in your place]. And ever is Allāh competent to do that.
مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ ثَوَابُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرࣰا﴿١٣٤﴾
Man kana yureedu thawaba alddunya faʿinda Allahi thawabu alddunya waalakhirati wakana Allahu sameeʿan baseeran
Whoever desires the reward of this world - then with Allāh is the reward of this world and the Hereafter. And ever is Allāh Hearing and Seeing.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَ لَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ وَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ ۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرࣰا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ ۚ وَ إِن تَلۡوُۥٓاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرࣰا﴿١٣٥﴾

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allāh, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allāh is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ ءَامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِۦ وَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبۡلُ ۚ وَ مَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱللَّهِ وَ مَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَ كُتُبِهِۦ وَ رُسُلِهِۦ وَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدًا﴿١٣٦﴾

O you who have believed, believe in Allāh and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allāh, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ثُمَّ كَفَرُواْ ثُمَّ ءَامَنُواْ ثُمَّ كَفَرُواْ ثُمَّ ٱزۡدَادُواْ كُفۡرࣰا لَّمۡ يَكُنِ ٱللَّهُ لِيَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ وَ لَا لِيَهۡدِيَهُمۡ سَبِيلَۢا﴿١٣٧﴾
Inna allatheena amanoo thumma kafaroo thumma amanoo thumma kafaroo thumma izdadoo kufran lam yakuni Allahu liyaghfira lahum wala liyahdiyahum sabeelan
Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed then disbelieved, and then increased in disbelief - never will Allāh forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way.
بَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا﴿١٣٨﴾
Bashshiri almunafiqeena bianna lahum ʿathaban aleeman
Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment -
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ۚ أَيَبۡتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ ٱلۡعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعࣰا﴿١٣٩﴾
Allatheena yattakhithoona alkafireena awliyaa min dooni almumineena ayabtaghoona ʿindahumu alʿizzata fainna alʿizzata lillahi jameeʿan
Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed, honor belongs to Allāh entirely.
وَ قَدۡ نَزَّلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَنۡ إِذَا سَمِعۡتُمۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يُكۡفَرُ بِهَا وَ يُسۡتَهۡزَأُ بِهَا فَلَا تَقۡعُدُواْ مَعَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُواْ فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيۡرِهِۦٓ إِنَّكُمۡ إِذࣰا مِّثۡلُهُمۡ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ جَامِعُ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيعًا﴿١٤٠﴾

And it has already come down to you in the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] that when you hear the verses of Allāh [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed, Allāh will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together -
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَرَبَّصُونَ بِكُمۡ فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمۡ فَتۡحࣱ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ قَالُوٓاْ أَلَمۡ نَكُن مَّعَكُمۡ وَ إِن كَانَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ نَصِيبࣱ قَالُوٓاْ أَلَمۡ نَسۡتَحۡوِذۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ نَمۡنَعۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ۚ فَٱللَّهُ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ۚ وَ لَن يَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا﴿١٤١﴾

Those who wait [and watch] you. Then if you gain a victory from Allāh, they say, "Were we not with you?" But if the disbelievers have a success, they say [to them], "Did we not gain the advantage over you, but we protected you from the believers?" Allāh will judge between [all of] you on the Day of Resurrection, and never will Allāh give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them].
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَ هُوَ خَٰدِعُهُمۡ وَ إِذَا قَامُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُواْ كُسَالَىٰ يُرَآءُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣰا﴿١٤٢﴾
Inna almunafiqeena yukhadiʿoona Allaha wahuwa khadiʿuhum waitha qamoo ila alssalati qamoo kusala yuraoona alnnasa wala yathkuroona Allaha illa qaleelan
Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allāh, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allāh except a little,
مُّذَبۡذَبِينَ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ وَ مَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ سَبِيلࣰا﴿١٤٣﴾
Muthabthabeena bayna thalika la ila haolai wala ila haolai waman yudlili Allahu falan tajida lahu sabeelan
Wavering between them, [belonging] neither to these [i.e., the believers] nor to those [i.e., the disbelievers]. And whoever Allāh sends astray - never will you find for him a way.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ۚ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَجۡعَلُواْ لِلَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنࣰا مُّبِينًا﴿١٤٤﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo alkafireena awliyaa min dooni almumineena atureedoona an tajʿaloo lillahi ʿalaykum sultanan mubeenan
O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do you wish to give Allāh against yourselves a clear case?
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ فِي ٱلدَّرۡكِ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَ لَن تَجِدَ لَهُمۡ نَصِيرًا﴿١٤٥﴾
Inna almunafiqeena fee alddarki alasfali mina alnnari walan tajida lahum naseeran
Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire - and never will you find for them a helper -
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَ أَصۡلَحُواْ وَ ٱعۡتَصَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ أَخۡلَصُواْ دِينَهُمۡ لِلَّهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ۖ وَ سَوۡفَ يُؤۡتِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿١٤٦﴾
Illa allatheena taboo waaslahoo waiʿtasamoo biAllahi waakhlasoo deenahum lillahi faolaika maʿa almumineena wasawfa yuti Allahu almumineena ajran ʿatheeman
Except for those who repent, correct themselves, hold fast to Allāh, and are sincere in their religion for Allāh, for those will be with the believers. And Allāh is going to give the believers a great reward.
مَّا يَفۡعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمۡ إِن شَكَرۡتُمۡ وَ ءَامَنتُمۡ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ شَاكِرًا عَلِيمࣰا﴿١٤٧﴾
Ma yafʿalu Allahu biʿathabikum in shakartum waamantum wakana Allahu shakiran ʿaleeman
What would Allāh do with [i.e., gain from] your punishment if you are grateful and believe? And ever is Allāh Appreciative and Knowing.
لَّا يُحِبُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا﴿١٤٨﴾
La yuhibbu Allahu aljahra bialssooi mina alqawli illa man thulima wakana Allahu sameeʿan ʿaleeman
Allāh does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And ever is Allāh Hearing and Knowing.
إِن تُبۡدُواْ خَيۡرًا أَوۡ تُخۡفُوهُ أَوۡ تَعۡفُواْ عَن سُوٓءࣲ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوࣰّا قَدِيرًا﴿١٤٩﴾
In tubdoo khayran aw tukhfoohu aw taʿfoo ʿan sooin fainna Allaha kana ʿafuwwan qadeeran
If [instead] you show [some] good or conceal it or pardon an offense - indeed, Allāh is ever Pardoning and Competent.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِۦ وَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُفَرِّقُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِۦ وَ يَقُولُونَ نُؤۡمِنُ بِبَعۡضࣲ وَ نَكۡفُرُ بِبَعۡضࣲ وَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَّخِذُواْ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًا﴿١٥٠﴾
Inna allatheena yakfuroona biAllahi warusulihi wayureedoona an yufarriqoo bayna Allahi warusulihi wayaqooloona numinu bibaʿdin wanakfuru bibaʿdin wayureedoona an yattakhithoo bayna thalika sabeelan
Indeed, those who disbelieve in Allāh and His messengers and wish to discriminate between Allāh and His messengers and say, "We believe in some and disbelieve in others," and wish to adopt a way in between -
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ حَقࣰّا ۚ وَ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابࣰا مُّهِينࣰا﴿١٥١﴾
Olaika humu alkafiroona haqqan waaʿtadna lilkafireena ʿathaban muheenan
Those are the disbelievers, truly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
وَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِۦ وَ لَمۡ يُفَرِّقُواْ بَيۡنَ أَحَدࣲ مِّنۡهُمۡ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ سَوۡفَ يُؤۡتِيهِمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِيمࣰا﴿١٥٢﴾
Waallatheena amanoo biAllahi warusulihi walam yufarriqoo bayna ahadin minhum olaika sawfa yuteehim ojoorahum wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman
But they who believe in Allāh and His messengers and do not discriminate between any of them - to those He is going to give their rewards. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.
يَسۡـَٔلُكَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ كِتَٰبࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ فَقَدۡ سَأَلُواْ مُوسَىٰٓ أَكۡبَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَقَالُوٓاْ أَرِنَا ٱللَّهَ جَهۡرَةࣰ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ بِظُلۡمِهِمۡ ۚ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ فَعَفَوۡنَا عَن ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ سُلۡطَٰنࣰا مُّبِينࣰا﴿١٥٣﴾
Yasaluka ahlu alkitabi an tunazzila ʿalayhim kitaban mina alssamai faqad saaloo moosa akbara min thalika faqaloo arina Allaha jahratan faakhathathumu alssaʿiqatu bithulmihim thumma ittakhathoo alʿijla min baʿdi ma jaathumu albayyinatu faʿafawna ʿan thalika waatayna moosa sultanan mubeenan
The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allāh outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.
وَ رَفَعۡنَا فَوۡقَهُمُ ٱلطُّورَ بِمِيثَٰقِهِمۡ وَ قُلۡنَا لَهُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡبَابَ سُجَّدࣰا وَ قُلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لَا تَعۡدُواْ فِي ٱلسَّبۡتِ وَ أَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُم مِّيثَٰقًا غَلِيظࣰا﴿١٥٤﴾
Warafaʿna fawqahumu alttoora bimeethaqihim waqulna lahumu odkhuloo albaba sujjadan waqulna lahum la taʿdoo fee alssabti waakhathna minhum meethaqan ghaleethan
And We raised over them the mount for [refusal of] their covenant; and We said to them, "Enter the gate bowing humbly"; and We said to them, "Do not transgress on the sabbath"; and We took from them a solemn covenant.
فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمۡ وَ كُفۡرِهِم بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَ قَتۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقࣲّ وَ قَوۡلِهِمۡ قُلُوبُنَا غُلۡفُۢ ۚ بَلۡ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهَا بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلࣰا﴿١٥٥﴾
Fabima naqdihim meethaqahum wakufrihim biayati Allahi waqatlihimu alanbiyaa bighayri haqqin waqawlihim quloobuna ghulfun bal tabaʿa Allahu ʿalayha bikufrihim fala yuminoona illa qaleelan
And [We cursed them] for their breaking of the covenant and their disbelief in the signs of Allāh and their killing of the prophets without right and their saying, "Our hearts are wrapped" [i.e., sealed against reception]. Rather, Allāh has sealed them because of their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.
وَ بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ وَ قَوۡلِهِمۡ عَلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ بُهۡتَٰنًا عَظِيمࣰا﴿١٥٦﴾
Wabikufrihim waqawlihim ʿala maryama buhtanan ʿatheeman
And [We cursed them] for their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander
وَ قَوۡلِهِمۡ إِنَّا قَتَلۡنَا ٱلۡمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَ مَا قَتَلُوهُ وَ مَا صَلَبُوهُ وَ لَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمۡ ۚ وَ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِي شَكࣲّ مِّنۡهُ ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّ ۚ وَ مَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينَۢا﴿١٥٧﴾
Waqawlihim inna qatalna almaseeha ʿeesa ibna maryama rasoola Allahi wama qataloohu wama salaboohu walakin shubbiha lahum wainna allatheena ikhtalafoo feehi lafee shakkin minhu ma lahum bihi min ʿilmin illa ittibaʿa alththanni wama qataloohu yaqeenan
And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allāh." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
بَل رَّفَعَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡهِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١٥٨﴾
Bal rafaʿahu Allahu ilayhi wakana Allahu ʿazeezan hakeeman
Rather, Allāh raised him to Himself. And ever is Allāh Exalted in Might and Wise.
وَ إِن مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِلَّا لَيُؤۡمِنَنَّ بِهِۦ قَبۡلَ مَوۡتِهِۦ ۖ وَ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيدࣰا﴿١٥٩﴾
Wain min ahli alkitabi illa layuminanna bihi qabla mawtihi wayawma alqiyamati yakoonu ʿalayhim shaheedan
And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in him [i.e., Jesus] before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be against them a witness.
فَبِظُلۡمࣲ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيِّبَٰتٍ أُحِلَّتۡ لَهُمۡ وَ بِصَدِّهِمۡ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرࣰا﴿١٦٠﴾
Fabithulmin mina allatheena hadoo harramna ʿalayhim tayyibatin ohillat lahum wabisaddihim ʿan sabeeli Allahi katheeran
For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them, and for their averting from the way of Allāh many [people],
وَ أَخۡذِهِمُ ٱلرِّبَوٰاْ وَ قَدۡ نُهُواْ عَنۡهُ وَ أَكۡلِهِمۡ أَمۡوَٰلَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ ۚ وَ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمࣰا﴿١٦١﴾
Waakhthihimu alrriba waqad nuhoo ʿanhu waaklihim amwala alnnasi bialbatili waaʿtadna lilkafireena minhum ʿathaban aleeman
And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people's wealth unjustly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
لَّٰكِنِ ٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِي ٱلۡعِلۡمِ مِنۡهُمۡ وَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَ مَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ ۚ وَ ٱلۡمُقِيمِينَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۚ وَ ٱلۡمُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ سَنُؤۡتِيهِمۡ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمًا﴿١٦٢﴾
Lakini alrrasikhoona fee alʿilmi minhum waalmuminoona yuminoona bima onzila ilayka wama onzila min qablika waalmuqeemeena alssalata waalmutoona alzzakata waalmuminoona biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri olaika sanuteehim ajran ʿatheeman
But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you. And the establishers of prayer [especially] and the givers of zakāh and the believers in Allāh and the Last Day - those We will give a great reward.
إِنَّآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ كَمَآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ نُوحࣲ وَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ ۚ وَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَ يَعۡقُوبَ وَ ٱلۡأَسۡبَاطِ وَ عِيسَىٰ وَ أَيُّوبَ وَ يُونُسَ وَ هَٰرُونَ وَ سُلَيۡمَٰنَ ۚ وَ ءَاتَيۡنَا دَاوُۥدَ زَبُورࣰا﴿١٦٣﴾
Inna awhayna ilayka kama awhayna ila noohin waalnnabiyyeena min baʿdihi waawhayna ila ibraheema waismaʿeela waishaqa wayaʿqooba waalasbati waʿeesa waayyooba wayoonusa waharoona wasulaymana waatayna dawooda zabooran
Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon; and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].
وَ رُسُلࣰا قَدۡ قَصَصۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَيۡكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَ رُسُلࣰا لَّمۡ نَقۡصُصۡهُمۡ عَلَيۡكَ ۚ وَ كَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكۡلِيمࣰا﴿١٦٤﴾
Warusulan qad qasasnahum ʿalayka min qablu warusulan lam naqsushum ʿalayka wakallama Allahu moosa takleeman
And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allāh spoke to Moses with [direct] speech.
رُّسُلࣰا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَ مُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةُۢ بَعۡدَ ٱلرُّسُلِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١٦٥﴾
Rusulan mubashshireena wamunthireena lialla yakoona lilnnasi ʿala Allahi hujjatun baʿda alrrusuli wakana Allahu ʿazeezan hakeeman
[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allāh after the messengers. And ever is Allāh Exalted in Might and Wise.
لَّٰكِنِ ٱللَّهُ يَشۡهَدُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ إِلَيۡكَ ۖ أَنزَلَهُۥ بِعِلۡمِهِۦ ۖ وَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَشۡهَدُونَ ۚ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًا﴿١٦٦﴾
Lakini Allahu yashhadu bima anzala ilayka anzalahu biʿilmihi waalmalaikatu yashhadoona wakafa biAllahi shaheedan
But Allāh bears witness to that which He has revealed to you. He has sent it down with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness [as well]. And sufficient is Allāh as Witness.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَ صَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدًا﴿١٦٧﴾
Inna allatheena kafaroo wasaddoo ʿan sabeeli Allahi qad dalloo dalalan baʿeedan
Indeed, those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allāh have certainly gone far astray.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَ ظَلَمُواْ لَمۡ يَكُنِ ٱللَّهُ لِيَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ وَ لَا لِيَهۡدِيَهُمۡ طَرِيقًا﴿١٦٨﴾
Inna allatheena kafaroo wathalamoo lam yakuni Allahu liyaghfira lahum wala liyahdiyahum tareeqan
Indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong [or injustice] - never will Allāh forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path,
إِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدࣰا ۚ وَ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرࣰا﴿١٦٩﴾
Illa tareeqa jahannama khalideena feeha abadan wakana thalika ʿala Allahi yaseeran
Except the path of Hell; they will abide therein forever. And that, for Allāh, is [always] easy.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡ فَـَٔامِنُواْ خَيۡرࣰا لَّكُمۡ ۚ وَ إِن تَكۡفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۚ وَ كَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمࣰا﴿١٧٠﴾
Ya ayyuha alnnasu qad jaakumu alrrasoolu bialhaqqi min rabbikum faaminoo khayran lakum wain takfuroo fainna lillahi ma fee alssamawati waalardi wakana Allahu ʿaleeman hakeeman
O mankind, the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe; it is better for you. But if you disbelieve - then indeed, to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and earth. And ever is Allāh Knowing and Wise.
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ وَ لَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّ ۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَ كَلِمَتُهُۥٓ أَلۡقَىٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ وَ رُوحࣱ مِّنۡهُ ۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِۦ ۖ وَ لَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌ ۚ ٱنتَهُواْ خَيۡرࣰا لَّكُمۡ ۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَٰهࣱ وَٰحِدࣱ ۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدࣱ ۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ۗ وَ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلࣰا﴿١٧١﴾
Ya ahla alkitabi la taghloo fee deenikum wala taqooloo ʿala Allahi illa alhaqqa innama almaseehu ʿeesa ibnu maryama rasoolu Allahi wakalimatuhu alqaha ila maryama waroohun minhu faaminoo biAllahi warusulihi wala taqooloo thalathatun intahoo khayran lakum innama Allahu ilahun wahidun subhanahu an yakoona lahu waladun lahu ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi wakafa biAllahi wakeelan
O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allāh except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allāh and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allāh and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allāh is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
لَّن يَسۡتَنكِفَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ أَن يَكُونَ عَبۡدࣰا لِّلَّهِ وَ لَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ۚ وَ مَن يَسۡتَنكِفۡ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرۡ فَسَيَحۡشُرُهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ جَمِيعࣰا﴿١٧٢﴾
Lan yastankifa almaseehu an yakoona ʿabdan lillahi wala almalaikatu almuqarraboona waman yastankif ʿan ʿibadatihi wayastakbir fasayahshuruhum ilayhi jameeʿan
Never would the Messiah disdain to be a servant of Allāh, nor would the angels near [to Him]. And whoever disdains His worship and is arrogant - He will gather them to Himself all together.
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡ وَ يَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦ ۖ وَ أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَنكَفُواْ وَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فَيُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمࣰا وَ لَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيࣰّا وَ لَا نَصِيرࣰا﴿١٧٣﴾
Faamma allatheena amanoo waʿamiloo alssalihati fayuwaffeehim ojoorahum wayazeeduhum min fadlihi waamma allatheena istankafoo waistakbaroo fayuʿaththibuhum ʿathaban aleeman wala yajidoona lahum min dooni Allahi waliyyan wala naseeran
And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards and grant them extra from His bounty. But as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves besides Allāh any protector or helper.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُم بُرۡهَٰنࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ نُورࣰا مُّبِينࣰا﴿١٧٤﴾
Ya ayyuha alnnasu qad jaakum burhanun min rabbikum waanzalna ilaykum nooran mubeenan
O mankind, there has come to you a conclusive proof from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light.
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَ ٱعۡتَصَمُواْ بِهِۦ فَسَيُدۡخِلُهُمۡ فِي رَحۡمَةࣲ مِّنۡهُ وَ فَضۡلࣲ وَ يَهۡدِيهِمۡ إِلَيۡهِ صِرَٰطࣰا مُّسۡتَقِيمࣰا﴿١٧٥﴾
Faamma allatheena amanoo biAllahi waiʿtasamoo bihi fasayudkhiluhum fee rahmatin minhu wafadlin wayahdeehim ilayhi siratan mustaqeeman
So those who believe in Allāh and hold fast to Him - He will admit them to mercy from Himself and bounty and guide them to Himself on a straight path.
يَسۡتَفۡتُونَكَ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُفۡتِيكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡكَلَٰلَةِ ۚ إِنِ ٱمۡرُؤٌاْ هَلَكَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ وَلَدࣱ وَ لَهُۥٓ أُخۡتࣱ فَلَهَا نِصۡفُ مَا تَرَكَ ۚ وَ هُوَ يَرِثُهَآ إِن لَّمۡ يَكُن لَّهَا وَلَدࣱ ۚ فَإِن كَانَتَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَلَهُمَا ٱلثُّلُثَانِ مِمَّا تَرَكَ ۚ وَ إِن كَانُوٓاْ إِخۡوَةࣰ رِّجَالࣰا وَ نِسَآءࣰ فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ ۗ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ أَن تَضِلُّواْ ۗ وَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمُۢ﴿١٧٦﴾

They request from you a [legal] ruling. Say, "Allāh gives you a ruling concerning one having neither descendants nor ascendants [as heirs]." If a man dies, leaving no child but [only] a sister, she will have half of what he left. And he inherits from her if she [dies and] has no child. But if there are two sisters [or more], they will have two thirds of what he left. If there are both brothers and sisters, the male will have the share of two females. Allāh makes clear to you [His law], lest you go astray. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

About this surah
Period of Revelation
This Surah comprises several discourses which were revealed on different occasions during the period ranging probably between the end of A.H. 3 and the end of A.H. 4 or the beginning of A.H. 5. Although it is difficult to determine the exact dates of their revelations, yet it is possible to assign to them a fairly correct period with the help of the Commandments and the events mentioned therein, and the Traditions concerning them. A few instances are given below by way of illustration:
- We know that the instructions about the division of inheritance of the martyrs and for the safeguard of the rights of the orphans were sent down after the Battle of Uhd in which 70 Muslims were killed. Then naturally the question of the division of the inheritance of the martyrs and the safeguard of the rights of their orphans arose in many families at Al-Madinah. From this, we conclude that 1-28 was revealed on that occasion.
- We learn from the Traditions that the Commandment about salat during wartime was given on the occasion of Zat-ur-Riqa'a, an expedition which took place in A. H. 4. From this, we conclude that the discourse containing 102 was revealed on that occasion.
- The last warning (47) to the Jews was given before the Banu Nadir were exiled from Al-Madinah in Rabi'-ulAwwal, A. H. 4. From this, it may safely be concluded that the discourse containing verse 47 must have been revealed sometime before that date.
- The permission about tayammum (the performance of ablutions with pure dust, in case no water be available) was given during the Bani-al-Mustaliq expedition, which took place in A. H. 5.. Therefore the probable period of the revelation of the discourse containing 43 was A. H. 5.
Topics and Their Background
Let us now consider the social and historical considerations of the period in order to understand the Surah. All the discourses in this Surah deal with three main problems which confronted the Holy Prophet at the time. First of all, he was engaged in bringing about an all-around development of the Islamic Community that had been formed at the time of his migration to Al-Madinah. For this purpose, he was introducing new moral, cultural, social, economic, and political ways in place of the old ones of the pre-Islamic period. The second thing that occupied his attention and efforts was the bitter struggle that was going on with the mushrik Arabs, the Jewish clans, and the hypocrites who were opposing tooth and nail his mission of reform. Above all, he had to propagate Islam in the face of the bitter opposition of these powers of evil with a view to capturing more and more minds and hearts.
Accordingly, detailed instructions have been given for the consolidation and strengthening of the Islamic Community in continuation of those given in Al-Baqarah. Principles for the smooth running of family life have been laid down and ways of settling family disputes have been taught. Rules have been prescribed for marriage and the rights of wife and husband have been apportioned fairly and equitably. The status of women in the society has been determined and the declaration of the rights of orphans has been made laws and regulations have been laid down for the division of inheritance, and instructions have been given to reform economic affairs. The foundation of the penal code has been laid down drinking has been prohibited, and instructions have been given for cleanliness and purity. The Muslims have been taught the kind of relations good men should have with their Allah and fellow men. Instructions have been given for the maintenance of discipline in the Muslim Community.
The moral and religious condition of the people of the Book has been reviewed to teach lessons to the Muslims and to forewarn them to refrain from following in their footsteps. The conduct of the hypocrites has been criticized and the distinctive features of hypocrisy and true faith have been clearly marked off to enable the Muslims to distinguish between the two.
In order to cope with the aftermath of the Battle of Uhd, Inspiring discourses were sent down to urge the Muslims to face the enemy bravely, for the defeat in the Battle had so emboldened the mushrik Arab clans and the neighboring Jews and the hypocrites at home that they were threatening the Muslims on all sides. At this critical juncture, Allah filled the Muslims with courage and gave them such instructions as were needed during that period of war clouds. In order to counteract the fearful rumors that were being spread by the hypocrites and the Muslims of weak faith, they were asked to make a thorough inquiry into them and to inform the responsible people about them. Then they were experiencing some difficulties in offering their salat during the expeditions to some places where no water was available for performing their ablutions, etc. In such cases, they were allowed to cleanse themselves with pure earth and to shorten the salat or to offer the "Salat of Fear", when they were faced with danger. Instructions were also given for the solution of the puzzling problem of those Muslims who were scattered among the unbelieving Arab clans and were often involved in the war. They were asked to migrate to Al-Madinah, the abode of Islam.
This Surah also deals with the case of Bani Nadir who were showing a hostile and menacing attitude, in spite of the peace treaties they had made with the Muslims. They were openly siding with the enemies of Islam and hatching plots against the Holy Prophet and the Muslim Community even at Al-Madinah itself. They were taken to task for their inimical behavior and given a final warning to change their attitude and were at last exiled from Al-Madinah on account of their misconduct.
The problem of the hypocrites, who had become very troublesome at that time, was involving the Believers in difficulties-- Therefore they were divided into different categories to enable the Muslims to deal with them appropriately.
Clear instructions were also given regarding the attitude they should adopt towards the non-belligerent clans. The most important thing needed at that time was to prepare the Muslims for the bitter struggle with the opponents of Islam. For this purpose greatest importance was attached to their character building, for it was obvious that the small Muslim Community could only come out successful, nay, survive, if the Muslims possessed high moral character. They were, therefore, enjoined to adopt the highest moral qualities and were severely criticized whenever any moral weakness was detected in them.
Though this Surah mainly deals with the moral and social reforms, yet due attention has been paid to the propagation of Islam. On the one hand, the superiority of the Islamic morality and culture has been established over that of the Jews, Christians, and mushriks; on the other hand, their wrong religious conceptions, their wrong morality, and their evil acts have been criticized to prepare the ground for inviting them to the way of the Truth.
Subject: Consolidation of the Islamic Community
The main object of this Surah is to teach the Muslims the ways that unite a people and make them firm and strong. Introductions for the stability of the family, which is the nucleus of the community have been given. Then they have been urged to prepare themselves for defense. Side by side with these, they have been taught the importance of the propagation of Islam. Above all, the importance of the highest moral character in the scheme of consolidation of the Community has been impressed.
Topics and their Interconnection
Just, fair and equitable laws and regulations for the smooth running of family life have been laid down for the husband and wife. Detailed instructions have been given for the division of inheritance and due regard has been paid to the rights of orphans. 1-35
In order to inculcate the right spirit for the observance of rules and regulations, the Muslims have been enjoined to show generosity to all around them and to be free from meanness, selfishness, stinginess of mind, because this is essential for the consolidation of the Communities and helpful for the propagation of Islam. 36-42
The ways of the purification of mind and body for the offering of Salat have been taught because it plays the most important part in every scheme of moral and social reform. 43
After moral preparation, instructions for defense have been given. First of all, the Muslims have been warned to be on their guard against the cunning machinations and vile practices of the local Jews who were hostile to the New Movement. This caution was necessary for removing some possible misunderstanding that might have arisen on account of the pre-Islamic alliance between the people of Al-Madinah and the Jews. 44-57
Then they have been enjoined to place their trusts and offices of trust in the custody of honest and qualified persons, and to do what is just and right, and to obey Allah and His Messenger and those among themselves entrusted with the conduct of their affairs and to turn to Allah and His Messenger for the settlement of their disputes. As such an attitude and behavior alone can ensure consolidation, they have been strongly warned that any deviation from this path will lead to their disintegration. 58-72
After this pre-requisite, they have been exhorted to make preparation for defense and to fight bravely for the cause of Islam, without showing any kind of cowardice or weakness. They have also been warned to be on their guard against hypocrites. A line of demarcation has been drawn to distinguish the intentional shirkers from the helpless devotees. 73-100
Here again, instructions have been given for the offering of Salat during military campaigns and actual fighting. This is to impress the importance of Salat even at the time of fear and danger. 101-103
Before proceeding on to the next topic, the Muslims have been exhorted to persevere in their fight without showing any kind of weakness. 104
In order to make the Islamic Community firm and strong for defense, the Muslims have been enjoined to observe the highest standard of justice. The Muslims are required to deal out strict justice even in case of the enemy, with whom they might be involved in the war. They should also settle disputes between husband and wife with justice. In order to ensure this, they should keep their beliefs and deeds absolutely free from every kind of impurity and should become the standard-bearers of justice. 105-135
Resuming the theme of defense, the Muslims have been warned to be on their guard against their enemies. They have been admonished to take necessary precautions against the machinations of the hypocrites and the unbelievers and the people of the Book. As belief in Allah and Revelation and Life-after-death is the only safeguard against every kind of enemy, they should sincerely believe in and follow His Messenger, Muhammad (Allah's peace be upon him). 136-175
Though this verse also deals with the family laws contained in verses 1-35, it has been added as a supplement at the end of this Surah because it was revealed long after An-Nisa was being recited as a complete Surah. 176
