Zaalikal Kitaabu laa raiba feeh; hudal lilmuttaqeen

ذلك ٱلكتب لا ريب فيه هدى للمتقين

Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them,

Allazeena yu’minoona bilghaibi wa yuqeemoonas salaata wa mimmaa razaqnaahum yunfiqoon

ٱلذين يؤمنون بٱلغيب ويقيمون ٱلصلوة ومما رزقنهم ينفقون

And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].

Wallazeena yu’minoona bimaa unzila ilaika wa maaa unzila min qablika wa bil Aakhirati hum yooqinoon

وٱلذين يؤمنون بما أنزل إليك وما أنزل من قبلك وبٱلأخرة هم يوقنون

Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.

Ulaaa’ika ‘alaa hudam mir rabbihim wa ulaaa’ika humul muflihoon

أولـئك على هدى من ربهم وأولـئك هم ٱلمفلحون

Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

Innal lazeena kafaroo sawaaa’un ‘alaihim ‘a-anzar tahum am lam tunzirhum laa yu’minoon

إن ٱلذين كفروا سواء عليهم ءأنذرتهم أم لم تنذرهم لا يؤمنون

Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment.

Khatamal laahu ‘alaa quloobihim wa ‘alaa sam’i-him wa ‘alaaa absaarihim ghishaa watunw wa lahum ‘azaabun ‘azeem (section 1)

ختم ٱلله على قلوبهم وعلى سمعهم وعلى أبصرهم غشوة ولهم عذاب عظيم

And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.

Wa minan naasi mainy yaqoolu aamannaa billaahi wa bil yawmil aakhiri wa maa hum bimu’mineen

ومن ٱلناس من يقول ءامنا بٱلله وبٱليوم ٱلأخر وما هم بمؤمنين

They [think to] deceive Allāh and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.

Yukhaadi’oonal laaha wallazeena aamanoo wa maa yakhda’oona illaaa anfusahum wa maa yash’uroon

يخدعون ٱلله وٱلذين ءامنوا وما يخدعون إلا أنفسهم وما يشعرون

In their hearts is disease, so Allāh has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.

Fee quloobihim mara dun fazaadahumul laahu maradah; wa lahum ‘azaabun aleemum bimaa kaanoo yakziboon

في قلوبهم مرض فزادهم ٱلله مرضا ولهم عذاب أليم بما كانوا يكذبون

And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers."

Wa izaa qeela lahum laa tufsidoo fil ardi qaalooo innamaa nahnu muslihoon

وإذا قيل لهم لا تفسدوا في ٱلأرض قالوا إنما نحن مصلحون

Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.

Alaaa innahum humul mufsidoona wa laakil laa yash’uroon

ألا إنهم هم ٱلمفسدون ولكن لا يشعرون

And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not.

Wa izaa qeela lahum aaminoo kamaaa aamanan naasu qaalooo anu’minu kamaaa aamanas sufahaaa’; alaaa innahum humus sufahaaa’u wa laakil laa ya’lamoon

And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."

Wa izaa laqul lazeena aamanoo qaalooo aamannaa wa izaa khalaw ilaa shayaateenihim qaalooo innaa ma’akum innamaa nahnu mustahzi’oon

وإذا لقوا ٱلذين ءامنوا قالوا ءامنا وإذا خلوا إلى شيطينهم قالوا إنا معكم إنما نحن مستهزءون

[But] Allāh mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.

Allahu yastahzi’u bihim wa yamudduhum fee tughyaanihim ya’mahoon

ٱلله يستهزئ بهم ويمدهم في طغينهم يعمهون

Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided.

Ulaaa’ikal lazeenash tara wud dalaalata bilhudaa famaa rabihat tijaaratuhum wa maa kaanoo muhtadeen

أولـئك ٱلذين ٱشتروا ٱلضللة بٱلهدى فما ربحت تجرتهم وما كانوا مهتدين

Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, Allāh took away their light and left them in darkness [so] they could not see.

Masaluhum kamasalillazis tawqada naaran falammaaa adaaa’at maa hawlahoo zahabal laahu binoorihim wa tarakahum fee zulumaatil laa yubsiroon

مثلهم كمثل ٱلذي ٱستوقد نارا فلما أضاءت ما حولهۥ ذهب ٱلله بنورهم وتركهم في ظلمت لا يبصرون

Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].

Summum bukmun ‘umyun fahum laa yarji’oon

صم بكم عمي فهم لا يرجعون

Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allāh is encompassing of the disbelievers.

Aw kasaiyibim minas samaaa’i feehi zulumaatunw wa ra’dunw wa barq, yaj’aloona asaabi’ahum feee aazaanihim minas sawaa’iqi hazaral mawt’ wallaahu muheetum bilkaafireen

أو كصيب من ٱلسماء فيه ظلمت ورعد وبرق يجعلون أصبعهم في ءاذانهم من ٱلصوعق حذر ٱلموت وٱلله محيط بٱلكفرين

The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them, they stand [still]. And if Allāh had willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

Yakaadul barqu yakhtafu absaarahum kullamaaa adaaa’a lahum mashaw feehi wa izaaa azlama ‘alaihim qaamoo; wa law shaaa’al laahu lazahaba bisam’ihim wa absaarihim; innal laaha ‘alaa kulli shai’in Qadeer (section 2)

يكاد ٱلبرق يخطف أبصرهم كلما أضاء لهم مشوا فيه وإذا أظلم عليهم قاموا ولو شاء ٱلله لذهب بسمعهم وأبصرهم إن ٱلله على كل شيء قدير

O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous -

Yaaa aiyuhan naasu’budoo Rabbakumul lazee khalaqakum wallazeena min qablikum la’allakum tattaqoon

يـأيها ٱلناس ٱعبدوا ربكم ٱلذي خلقكم وٱلذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون

[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him].

Allazee ja’ala lakumul arda firaashanw wassamaaa’a binaaa ‘anw wa anzala minassamaaa’i maaa’an fa akhraja bihee minas samaraati rizqal lakum falaa taj’aloo lillaahi andaadanw wa antum ta’lamoon

ٱلذي جعل لكم ٱلأرض فرشا وٱلسماء بناء وأنزل من ٱلسماء ماء فأخرج بهۦ من ٱلثمرت رزقا لكم فلا تجعلوا لله أندادا وأنتم تعلمون

And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down [i.e., the Qur’ān] upon Our Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], then produce a sūrah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses [i.e., supporters] other than Allāh, if you should be truthful.

Wa in kuntum fee raibim mimmaa nazzalnaa ‘alaa ‘abdinaa fatoo bi Sooratim mim mislihee wad’oo shuhadaaa’akum min doonil laahi in kuntum saadiqeen

وإن كنتم في ريب مما نزلنا على عبدنا فأتوا بسورة من مثلهۦ وٱدعوا شهداءكم من دون ٱلله إن كنتم صدقين

But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

Fail lam taf’aloo wa lan taf’aloo fattaqun Naaral latee waqooduhan naasu walhijaaratu u’iddat lilkaafireen

فإن لم تفعلوا ولن تفعلوا فٱتقوا ٱلنار ٱلتي وقودها ٱلناس وٱلحجارة أعدت للكفرين

And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.

Wa bashshiril lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati anna lahum jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru kullamaa ruziqoo minhaa min samaratir rizqan qaaloo haazal lazee ruziqnaa min qablu wa utoo bihee mutashaabihaa, wa lahum feehaaa azwaajum mutahhara tunw wa hum feehaa khaalidoon

وبشر ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصـلحت أن لهم جنـت تجري من تحتها ٱلأنهر كلما رزقوا منها من ثمرة رزقا قالوا هذا ٱلذي رزقنا من قبل وأتوا بهۦ متشبها ولهم فيها أزوج مطهرة وهم فيها خلدون

Indeed, Allāh is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allāh intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,

Innal laaha laa yastahyeee ai yadriba masalam maa ba’oodatan famaa fawqahaa; faammal lazeena aamanoo faya’lamoona annahul haqqu mir rabbihim wa ammal lazeena kafaroo fayaqooloona maazaaa araadal laahu bihaazaa masalaa; yudillu bihee kaseeranw wa yahdee bihee kaseeraa; wa maa yudillu biheee illal faasiqeen

إن ٱلله لا يستحيۦ أن يضرب مثلا ما بعوضة فما فوقها فأما ٱلذين ءامنوا فيعلمون أنه ٱلحق من ربهم وأما ٱلذين كفروا فيقولون ماذا أراد ٱلله بهذا مثلا يضل بهۦ كثيرا ويهدي بهۦ كثيرا وما يضل بهۦ إلا ٱلفسقين

Who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.

Allazeena yanqudoona ‘ahdal laahi mim ba’di meesaaqihee wa yaqta’oona maaa amaral laahu biheee ai yoosala wa yufsidoona fil ard; ulaaa’ika humul khaasiroon

ٱلذين ينقضون عهد ٱلله من بعد ميثقهۦ ويقطعون ما أمر ٱلله بهۦ أن يوصل ويفسدون في ٱلأرض أولـئك هم ٱلخسرون

How can you disbelieve in Allāh when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.

Kaifa takfuroona billaahi wa kuntum amwaatan fa ahyaakum summa yumeetukum summa yuhyeekum summaa ilaihi turja’oon

كيف تكفرون بٱلله وكنتم أموتا فأحيكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحييكم ثم إليه ترجعون

It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.

Huwal lazee khalaqa lakum maa fil ardi jamee’an summas tawaaa ilas samaaa’i fasaw waahunna sab’a samaa waat; wa Huwa bikulli shai’in Aleem (section 3)

هو ٱلذي خلق لكم ما في ٱلأرض جميعا ثم ٱستوى إلى ٱلسماء فسوىهن سبع سموت وهو بكل شيء عليم

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?" He [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

وإذ قال ربك للملـئكة إني جاعل في ٱلأرض خليفة قالوا أتجعل فيها من يفسد فيها ويسفك ٱلدماء ونحن نسبح بحمدك ونقدس لك قال إني أعلم ما لا تعلمون

And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."

Wa ‘allama Aadamal asmaaa’a kullahaa summa ‘aradahum ‘alal malaaa’ikati faqaala ambi’oonee bias maaa’i haaa’ulaaa’i in kuntum saadiqeen

وعلم ءادم ٱلأسماء كلها ثم عرضهم على ٱلملـئكة فقال أنبـوني بأسماء هـؤلاء إن كنتم صدقين

They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise."

Qaaloo subhaanaka laa ‘ilma lanaaa illaa maa ‘allamtanaaa innaka antal’aleemul hakeem

قالوا سبحنك لا علم لنا إلا ما علمتنا إنك أنت ٱلعليم ٱلحكيم

He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed."

Qaala yaaa Aadamu ambi’ hum biasmaaa’ihim falammaa amba ahum bi asmaaa’ihim qaala alam aqul lakum inneee a’lamu ghaibas samaawaati wal ardi wa a’lamu maa tubdoona wa maa kuntum taktumoon

قال يــادم أنبئهم بأسمائهم فلما أنبأهم بأسمائهم قال ألم أقل لكم إني أعلم غيب ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وأعلم ما تبدون وما كنتم تكتمون

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

Wa iz qulnaa lilmalaaa’i katis judoo liAadama fasajadooo illaaa Ibleesa abaa wastakbara wa kaana minal kaafireen

وإذ قلنا للملـئكة ٱسجدوا لأدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس أبى وٱستكبر وكان من ٱلكفرين

And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

Wa qulnaa yaaa Aadamus kun anta wa zawjukal jannata wa kulaa minhaa raghadan haisu shi’tumaa wa laa taqrabaa haazihish shajarata fatakoonaa minaz zaalimeen

وقلنا يــادم ٱسكن أنت وزوجك ٱلجنة وكلا منها رغدا حيث شئتما ولا تقربا هذه ٱلشجرة فتكونا من ٱلظـلمين

But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."

Fa azallahumash Shaitaanu ‘anhaa fa akhrajahumaa mimmaa kaanaa fee wa qulnah bitoo ba’dukum liba’din ‘aduwwunw wa lakum fil ardi mustaqarrunw wa mataa’un ilaa heen

فأزلهما ٱلشيطن عنها فأخرجهما مما كانا فيه وقلنا ٱهبطوا بعضكم لبعض عدو ولكم في ٱلأرض مستقر ومتع إلى حين

Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

Fatalaqqaaa Aadamu mir Rabbihee Kalimaatin fataaba ‘alaihi; innahoo Huwat Tawwaabur Raheem

فتلقى ءادم من ربهۦ كلمت فتاب عليه إنهۥ هو ٱلتواب ٱلرحيم

We said, "Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Qulnah bitoo minhaa jamee ‘an fa immaa ya’tiyannakum minnee hudan faman tabi’a hudaaya falaa khawfun ‘alaihim wa laa hum yahza noon

قلنا ٱهبطوا منها جميعا فإما يأتينكم مني هدى فمن تبع هداي فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally."

And believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My signs for a small price, and fear [only] Me.

O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds [i.e., peoples].

Yaa Baneee Israaa’eelaz kuroo ni’matiyal lateee an’amtu ‘alaikum wa annee faddaltukum ‘alal ‘aalameen

And [recall] when We saved you [i.e., your forefathers] from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with the worst torment, slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

Wa iz najjainaakum min Aali Fir’awna yasoomoonakum sooo’al azaabi yuzabbihoona abnaaa’akum wa yastahyoona nisaaa’akum; wa fee zaalikum balaaa’um mir Rabbikum ‘azeem

وإذ فرقنا بكم ٱلبحر فأنجينكم وأغرقنا ءال فرعون وأنتم تنظرون

And [recall] when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took [for worship] the calf after him [i.e., his departure], while you were wrongdoers.

Wa iz waa’adnaa Moosaaa arba’eena lailatan summattakhaztumul ‘ijla mim ba’dihee wa antum zaalimoon

Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful.

Summa ‘afawnaa ‘ankum mim ba’di zaalika la’allakum tashkuroon

And [recall] when We gave Moses the Scripture and criterion that perhaps you would be guided.

Wa iz aatainaa Moosal kitaaba wal Furqaana la’allakum tahtadoon

وإذ ءاتينا موسى ٱلكتب وٱلفرقان لعلكم تهتدون

And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we will never believe you until we see Allāh outright"; so the thunderbolt took you while you were looking on.

Wa iz qultum yaa Moosaa lan nu’mina laka hattaa naral laaha jahratan fa akhazat kumus saa’iqatu wa antum tanzuroon

Then We revived you after your death that perhaps you would be grateful.

Summa ba’asnaakum mim ba’di mawtikum la’allakum tashkuroon

ثم بعثنكم من بعد موتكم لعلكم تشكرون

And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not - but they were [only] wronging themselves.

Wa zallalnaa ‘alaikumul ghamaama wa anzalnaa ‘alaikumul Manna was Salwaa kuloo min taiyibaati maa razaqnaakum wa maa zalamoonaa wa laakin kaanooo anfusahum yazlimoon

وظللنا عليكم ٱلغمام وأنزلنا عليكم ٱلمن وٱلسلوى كلوا من طيبت ما رزقنكم وما ظلمونا ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون

And [recall] when We said, "Enter this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins].' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."

وإذ قلنا ٱدخلوا هذه ٱلقرية فكلوا منها حيث شئتم رغدا وٱدخلوا ٱلباب سجدا وقولوا حطة نغفر لكم خطيكم وسنزيد ٱلمحسنين

But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent down upon those who wronged a punishment [i.e., plague] from the sky because they were defiantly disobeying.

And [recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, "Strike with your staff the stone." And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the provision of Allāh, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.

وإذ قلتم يموسى لن نصبر على طعام وحد فٱدع لنا ربك يخرج لنا مما تنبت ٱلأرض من بقلها وقثائها وفومها وعدسها وبصلها قال أتستبدلون ٱلذي هو أدنى بٱلذي هو خير ٱهبطوا مصرا فإن لكم ما سألتم وضربت عليهم ٱلذلة وٱلمسكنة وباءو بغضب من ٱلله ذلك بأنهم كانوا يكفرون بـايت ٱلله ويقتلون ٱلنبيـن بغير ٱلحق ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدون

Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."

Wa iz akhaznaa meesaaqakum wa rafa’naa fawqakumut Toora khuzoo maaa aatainaakum biquwwatinw wazkuroo maa feehi la’allakum tattaqoon

وإذ أخذنا ميثقكم ورفعنا فوقكم ٱلطور خذوا ما ءاتينكم بقوة وٱذكروا ما فيه لعلكم تتقون

Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.

ثم توليتم من بعد ذلك فلولا فضل ٱلله عليكم ورحمتهۥ لكنتم من ٱلخسرين

And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."

Wa laqad ‘alimtumul lazeena’-tadaw minkum fis Sabti faqulnaa lahum koonoo qiradatan khaasi’een

ولقد علمتم ٱلذين ٱعتدوا منكم في ٱلسبت فقلنا لهم كونوا قردة خسـين

And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded [them] and a lesson for those who fear Allāh.

Faja’alnaahaa nakaalal limaa baina yadihaa wa maa khalfahaa wa maw’izatal lilmuttaqeen

فجعلنها نكلا لما بين يديها وما خلفها وموعظة للمتقين

And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allāh commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allāh from being among the ignorant."

Wa iz qaala Moosaa liqawmiheee innal laaha yaamurukum an tazbahoo baqaratan qaalooo atattakhizunna huzuwan qaala a’oozu billaahi an akoona minal jaahileen

وإذ قال موسى لقومهۦ إن ٱلله يأمركم أن تذبحوا بقرة قالوا أتتخذنا هزوا قال أعوذ بٱلله أن أكون من ٱلجهلين

They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is." [Moses] said, "[Allāh] says, 'It is a cow which is neither old nor virgin, but median between that,' so do what you are commanded."

Qaalud-‘u lanaa rabbaka yubaiyil lanaa maa hee; qaala innahoo yaqoolu innahaa baqaratul laa faaridunw wa laa bikrun ‘awaanum baina zaalika faf’aloo maa tu’maroon

They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us what is her color." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in color - pleasing to the observers.'"

Qaalud-‘u lanaa Rabbaka yubaiyil lanaa maa lawnuhaa; qaala innahoo yaqoolu innahaa baqaratun safraaa’u faaqi’ul lawnuhaa tasurrunnaazireen

They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is. Indeed, [all] cows look alike to us. And indeed we, if Allāh wills, will be guided."

Qaalud-‘u lanaa Rabbaka yubaiyil lanaa maa hiya innal baqara tashaabaha ‘alainaa wa innaaa in shaaa’al laahu lamuhtadoon

قالوا ٱدع لنا ربك يبين لنا ما هي إن ٱلبقر تشبه علينا وإنا إن شاء ٱلله لمهتدون

He said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from fault with no spot upon her.'" They said, "Now you have come with the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it.

قال إنهۥ يقول إنها بقرة لا ذلول تثير ٱلأرض ولا تسقي ٱلحرث مسلمة لا شية فيها قالوا ٱلـن جئت بٱلحق فذبحوها وما كادوا يفعلون

And [recall] when you slew a man and disputed over it, but Allāh was to bring out that which you were concealing.

Wa iz qataltum nafsan faddaara’tum feehaa wallaahu mukhrijum maa kuntum taktumoon

وإذ قتلتم نفسا فٱدـرتم فيها وٱلله مخرج ما كنتم تكتمون

So We said, "Strike him [i.e., the slain man] with part of it." Thus does Allāh bring the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you might reason.

Faqulnad riboohu biba’dihaa; kazaalika yuhyil laa hul mawtaa wa yureekum aayaatihee la’allakum ta’qiloon

فقلنا ٱضربوه ببعضها كذلك يحي ٱلله ٱلموتى ويريكم ءايتهۦ لعلكم تعقلون

Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allāh. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

Summa qasat quloobukum mim ba’di zaalika fahiya kalhijaarati aw-ashaadu qaswah; wa inna minal hijaarati lamaa yatafajjaru minhul anhaar; wa inna minhaa lamaa yash shaqqaqu fayakhruju minhul maaa’; wa inna minhaa lamaa yahbitu min khashyatil laa; wa mal laahu bighaafilin ‘ammaa ta’maloon

Do you covet [the hope, O believers], that they would believe for you while a party of them used to hear the words of Allāh and then distort it [i.e., the Torah] after they had understood it while they were knowing?

Afatatma’oona ai yu’minoo lakum wa qad kaana fareequm minhum yasma’oona Kalaamal laahi summa yuharri foonahoo mim ba’di maa’aqaloohu wa hum ya’lamoon

أفتطمعون أن يؤمنوا لكم وقد كان فريق منهم يسمعون كلم ٱلله ثم يحرفونهۥ من بعد ما عقلوه وهم يعلمون

And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We have believed"; but when they are alone with one another, they say, "Do you talk to them about what Allāh has revealed to you so they can argue with you about it before your Lord?" Then will you not reason?

Wa izaa laqul lazeena aamanoo qaalooo aamannaa wa izaakhalaa ba’duhum ilaa ba’din qaalooo atuhaddisoonahum bimaa fatahal laahu ‘alaikum liyuhaajjookum bihee ‘inda rabbikum; afalaa ta’qiloon

وإذا لقوا ٱلذين ءامنوا قالوا ءامنا وإذا خلا بعضهم إلى بعض قالوا أتحدثونهم بما فتح ٱلله عليكم ليحاجوكم بهۦ عند ربكم أفلا تعقلون

But do they not know that Allāh knows what they conceal and what they declare?

Awalaa ya’lamoona annal laaha ya’lamu maa yusirroona wa maa yu’linoon

أولا يعلمون أن ٱلله يعلم ما يسرون وما يعلنون

And among them are unlettered ones who do not know the Scripture except [indulgement in] wishful thinking, but they are only assuming.

Wa minhum ummiyyoona laa ya’lamoonal kitaaba illaaa amaaniyya wa in hum illaa yazunnoon

ومنهم أميون لا يعلمون ٱلكتب إلا أماني وإن هم إلا يظنون

So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allāh," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

فويل للذين يكتبون ٱلكتب بأيديهم ثم يقولون هذا من عند ٱلله ليشتروا بهۦ ثمنا قليلا فويل لهم مما كتبت أيديهم وويل لهم مما يكسبون

And they say, "Never will the Fire touch us, except for [a few] numbered days." Say, "Have you taken a covenant with Allāh? For Allāh will never break His covenant. Or do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?"

Wa qaaloo lan tamassanan Naaru illaaa ayyaamam ma’doo dah; qul attakhaztum ‘indal laahi ‘ahdan falai yukhlifal laahu ‘ahdahooo am taqooloona ‘alal laahi maa laa ta’lamoon

Yes, [on the contrary], whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

But they who believe and do righteous deeds - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.

وٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصـلحت أولـئك أصحب ٱلجنة هم فيها خلدون

And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except Allāh; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give zakāh." Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing.

And [recall] when We took your covenant, [saying], "Do not shed your [i.e., each other's] blood or evict one another from your homes." Then you acknowledged [this] while you were witnessing.

Wa iz akhaznaa meesaa qakum laa tasfikoona dimaaa’akum wa laa tukhrijoona anfusakum min diyaarikum summa aqrartum wa antum tashhadoon

وإذ أخذنا ميثقكم لا تسفكون دماءكم ولا تخرجون أنفسكم من ديركم ثم أقررتم وأنتم تشهدون

Then, you are those [same ones who are] killing one another and evicting a party of your people from their homes, cooperating against them in sin and aggression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

Those are the ones who have bought the life of this world [in exchange] for the Hereafter, so the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be aided.

Ulaaa’ikal lazeenash tarawul hayaatad dunyaa bil aakhirati falaa yukhaffafu ‘anhumul ‘azaabu wa laa hum yunsaroon (section 10)

أولـئك ٱلذين ٱشتروا ٱلحيوة ٱلدنيا بٱلأخرة فلا يخفف عنهم ٱلعذاب ولا هم ينصرون

And We did certainly give Moses the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel]. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed.

Wa laqad aatainaa Moosal Kitaaba wa qaffainaa mim ba’dihee bir Rusuli wa aatainaa ‘Eesab-na-Maryamal baiyinaati wa ayyadnaahu bi Roohil Qudus; afakullamaa jaaa’akum Rasoolum bimaa laa tahwaaa anfusukumus takbartum fafareeqan kazzabtum wa fareeqan taqtuloon

And they said, "Our hearts are wrapped." But, [in fact], Allāh has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is it that they believe.

Wa qaaloo quloobunaa ghulf; bal la’anahumul laahu bikufrihim faqaleelam maa yu’minoon

وقالوا قلوبنا غلف بل لعنهم ٱلله بكفرهم فقليلا ما يؤمنون

And when there came to them a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] from Allāh confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allāh will be upon the disbelievers.

Wa lammaa jaaa’ahum Kitaabum min ‘indil laahi musaddiqul limaa ma’ahum wa kaanoo min qablu yastaftihoona ‘alal lazeena kafaroo falammaa jaaa’ahum maa ‘arafoo kafaroo bih; fala ‘natul laahi ‘alal kaafireen

ولما جاءهم كتب من عند ٱلله مصدق لما معهم وكانوا من قبل يستفتحون على ٱلذين كفروا فلما جاءهم ما عرفوا كفروا بهۦ فلعنة ٱلله على ٱلكفرين

How wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allāh has revealed through [their] outrage that Allāh would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.

بئسما ٱشتروا بهۦ أنفسهم أن يكفروا بما أنزل ٱلله بغيا أن ينزل ٱلله من فضلهۦ على من يشاء من عبادهۦ فباءو بغضب على غضب وللكفرين عذاب مهين

And when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allāh has revealed," they say, "We believe [only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allāh before, if you are [indeed] believers?"

Wa izaa qeela lahum aaminoo bimaaa anzalal laahu qaaloo nu’minu bimaaa unzila ‘alainaa wa yakfuroona bimaa waraaa’ahoo wa huwal haqqu musaddiqal limaa ma’ahum; qul falima taqtuloona Ambiyaaa’al laahi min qablu in kuntum mu’mineen

And Moses had certainly brought you clear proofs. Then you took the calf [in worship] after that, while you were wrongdoers.

Wa laqad jaaa’akum Moosa bilbaiyinaati summat takhaztumul ‘ijla mim ba’dihee wa antum zaalimoon

ولقد جاءكم موسى بٱلبينت ثم ٱتخذتم ٱلعجل من بعدهۦ وأنتم ظلمون

And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."

Wa iz akhaznaa meesaaqakum wa rafa’naa fawqa kumut Toora khuzoo maaa aatainaakum biquwwatinw wasma’oo qaaloo sami’naa wa ‘asainaa wa ushriboo fee quloobihimul ‘ijla bikufrihim; qul bi’samaa yaamurukum biheee eemaanukum in kuntum mu’mineen

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If the home of the Hereafter with Allāh is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."

Qul in kaanat lakumud Daarul Aakhiratu ‘indal laahi khaalisatam min doonin naasi fatamannawul mawta in kuntum saadiqeen

قل إن كانت لكم ٱلدار ٱلأخرة عند ٱلله خالصة من دون ٱلناس فتمنوا ٱلموت إن كنتم صدقين

But never will they wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

Wa lai yatamannawhu abadam bimaa qaddamat aydeehim; wallaahu ‘aleemum bizzaalimeen

ولن يتمنوه أبدا بما قدمت أيديهم وٱلله عليم بٱلظـلمين

And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allāh. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.

Wa latajidannahum ahrasannaasi ‘alaa hayaatinw wa minal lazeena ashrakoo; yawaddu ahaduhum law yu’ammaru alfa sanatinw wa maa huwa bi muzahzihihee minal ‘azaabi ai yu’ammar; wallaahu baseerum bimaa ya’maloon (section 11)

ولتجدنهم أحرص ٱلناس على حيوة ومن ٱلذين أشركوا يود أحدهم لو يعمر ألف سنة وما هو بمزحزحهۦ من ٱلعذاب أن يعمر وٱلله بصير بما يعملون

Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down upon your heart, [O Muḥammad], by permission of Allāh, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers."

Qul man kaana ‘aduwwal li Jibreela fainnahoo nazzalahoo ‘alaa qalbika bi iznil laahi musaddiqal limaa baina yadaihi wa hudanw wa bushraa lilmu’mineen

قل من كان عدوا لـجبريل فإنهۥ نزلهۥ على قلبك بإذن ٱلله مصدقا لما بين يديه وهدى وبشرى للمؤمنين

Whoever is an enemy to Allāh and His angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allāh is an enemy to the disbelievers.

Man kaana ‘aduwwal lillaahi wa malaaa’ikatihee wa Rusulihee wa Jibreela wa Meekaala fa innal laaha ‘aduwwul lilkaafireen

من كان عدوا لله وملـئكتهۦ ورسلهۦ وجبريل وميكىل فإن ٱلله عدو للكفرين

And We have certainly revealed to you verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the defiantly disobedient.

Wa laqad anzalnaaa ilaika Aayaatim baiyinaatinw wa maa yakfuru bihaaa illal faasiqoon

ولقد أنزلنا إليك ءايت بينت وما يكفر بها إلا ٱلفسقون

Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.

Awa kullamaa ‘aahadoo ahdan nabazahoo fareequm minhum; bal aksaruhum laa yu’minoon

أوكلما عهدوا عهدا نبذهۥ فريق منهم بل أكثرهم لا يؤمنون

And when a messenger from Allāh came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allāh [i.e., the Torah] behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained].

Wa lammaa jaaa’ahum Rasoolum min ‘indil laahi musaddiqul limaa ma’ahum nabaza fareequm minal lazeena ootul Kitaaba Kitaabal laahi waraaa’a zuhoorihim ka annahum laa ya’lamoon

ولما جاءهم رسول من عند ٱلله مصدق لما معهم نبذ فريق من ٱلذين أوتوا ٱلكتب كتب ٱلله وراء ظهورهم كأنهم لا يعلمون

And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allāh. And they [i.e., people] learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of Israel] certainly knew that whoever purchased it [i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

And if they had believed and feared Allāh, then the reward from Allāh would have been [far] better, if they only knew.

Wa law annahum aamanoo wattaqaw lamasoobatum min ‘indillaahi khairun law kaanoo ya’lamoon (section 12)

ولو أنهم ءامنوا وٱتقوا لمثوبة من عند ٱلله خير لو كانوا يعلمون

O you who have believed, say not [to Allāh's Messenger], "Rāʿinā" but say, "Unẓurnā" and listen. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo laa taqooloo raa’inaa wa qoolun zurnaa wasma’oo; wa lilkaafireena ‘azaabun aleem

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا لا تقولوا رعنا وقولوا ٱنظرنا وٱسمعوا وللكفرين عذاب أليم

Neither those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and Christians] nor the polytheists wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allāh selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

Maa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo min ahlil kitaabi wa lal mushrikeena ai-yunazzala ‘alaikum min khairim mir Rabbikum; wallaahu yakhtassu birahmatihee mai-yashaaa; wallaahu zul fadlil’azeem

We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allāh is over all things competent?

Maa nansakh min aayatin aw nunsihaa na-ti bikhairim minhaaa aw mislihaaa; alam ta’lam annal laaha ‘alaa kulli shai’in qadeer

ما ننسخ من ءاية أو ننسها نأت بخير منها أو مثلها ألم تعلم أن ٱلله على كل شيء

Do you not know that to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allāh any protector or any helper?

Alam ta’lam annallaaha lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal ard; wa maa lakum min doonil laahi minw waliyyinw wa laa naseer

قدير ألم تعلم أن ٱلله لهۥ ملك ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما لكم من دون ٱلله من ولي ولا نصير

Or do you intend to ask your Messenger as Moses was asked before? And whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.

Am tureedoona an tas’aloo Rasoolakum kamaa su’ila Moosa min qabl; wa mai yatabaddalil kufra bil eemaani faqad dalla sawaaa’as sabeel

أم تريدون أن تسـلوا رسولكم كما سئل موسى من قبل ومن يتبدل ٱلكفر بٱلإيمن فقد ضل سواء ٱلسبيل

Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allāh delivers His command. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

Wadda kaseerum min ahlil kitaabi law yaruddoo nakum mim ba’di eemaanikum kuffaaran hasadam min ‘indi anfusihim mim ba’di maa tabaiyana lahumul haqqu fa’foo wasfahoo hattaa yaa tiyallaahu bi amrih; innal laaha ‘alaa kulli shai’in qadeer

ود كثير من أهل ٱلكتب لو يردونكم من بعد إيمنكم كفارا حسدا من عند أنفسهم من بعد ما تبين لهم ٱلحق فٱعفوا وٱصفحوا حتى يأتي ٱلله بأمرهۦ إن ٱلله على كل شيء قدير

And establish prayer and give zakāh, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. Indeed Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.

Wa aqeemus salaata wa aatuz zakaah; wa maa tuqaddimoo li anfusikum min khairin tajidoohu ‘indal laah; innal laaha bimaa ta’maloona baseer

وأقيموا ٱلصلوة وءاتوا ٱلزكوة وما تقدموا لأنفسكم من خير تجدوه عند ٱلله إن ٱلله بما تعملون بصير

And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking. Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

Wa qaaloo lai yadkhulal jannata illaa man kaana Hoodan aw Nasaaraa; tilka amaaniyyuhum; qul haatoo burhaa nakum in kuntum saadiqeen

وقالوا لن يدخل ٱلجنة إلا من كان هودا أو نصرى تلك أمانيهم قل هاتوا برهنكم إن كنتم صدقين

Yes, [on the contrary], whoever submits his face [i.e., self] in Islām to Allāh while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Balaa man aslama wajhahoo lillaahi wa huwa muhsinun falahooo ajruhoo ‘inda rabbihee wa laa khawfun ‘alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon (section 13)

بلى من أسلم وجههۥ لله وهو محسن فلهۥ أجرهۥ عند ربهۦ ولا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

The Jews say, "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus do those who know not [i.e., the polytheists] speak the same as their words. But Allāh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

Wa qaalatil Yahoodu laisatin Nasaaraa ‘alaa shai’inw-wa qaalatin Nasaaraaa laisatil Yahoodu ‘alaa shai’inw’wa hum yatloonal Kitaab; kazaalika qaalal lazeena la ya’lamoona misla qawlihim; fallaahu yahkumu bainahum Yawmal Qiyaamati feemaa kaanoo feehi yakhtalifoon

وقالت ٱليهود ليست ٱلنصرى على شيء وقالت ٱلنصرى ليست ٱليهود على شيء وهم يتلون ٱلكتب كذلك قال ٱلذين لا يعلمون مثل قولهم فٱلله يحكم بينهم يوم ٱلقيمة فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون

And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allāh from being mentioned [i.e., praised] in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment.

Wa man azlamu mimmam-mana’a masaajidal laahi ai-yuzkara feehas muhoo wa sa’aa fee kharaabihaaa; ulaaa’ika maa kaana lahum ai yadkhuloohaaa illaa khaaa’ifeen; lahum fiddunyaa khizyunw wa lahum fil aakhirati ‘azaabun ‘azeem

ومن أظلم ممن منع مسجد ٱلله أن يذكر فيها ٱسمهۥ وسعى في خرابها أولـئك ما كان لهم أن يدخلوها إلا خائفين لهم في ٱلدنيا خزي ولهم في ٱلأخرة عذاب عظيم

And to Allāh belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

Wa lillaahil mashriqu walmaghrib; fa aynamaa tuwalloo fasamma wajhullaah; innal laaha waasi’un Aleem

ولله ٱلمشرق وٱلمغرب فأينما تولوا فثم وجه ٱلله إن ٱلله وسع عليم

They say, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are devoutly obedient to Him,

Wa qaalut takhazal laahu waladan subhaanahoo bal lahoo maa fis samaawaati wal ardi kullul lahoo qaanitoon

وقالوا ٱتخذ ٱلله ولدا سبحنهۥ بل لهۥ ما في ٱلسموت وٱلأرض كل لهۥ قنتون

Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

Badeee’us samaawaati wal ardi wa izaa qadaaa amran fa innamaa yaqoolu lahoo kun fayakoon

بديع ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وإذا قضى أمرا فإنما يقول لهۥ كن فيكون

Those who do not know say, "Why does Allāh not speak to us or there come to us a sign?" Thus spoke those before them like their words. Their hearts resemble each other. We have shown clearly the signs to a people who are certain [in faith].

Wa qaalal lazeena laa ya’lamoona law laa yukallimunal laahu aw taateenaaa aayah; kazaalika qaalal lazeena min qablihim misla qawlihim; tashaabahat quloobuhum; qad baiyannal aayaati liqawminy yooqinoon

وقال ٱلذين لا يعلمون لولا يكلمنا ٱلله أو تأتينا ءاية كذلك قال ٱلذين من قبلهم مثل قولهم تشبهت قلوبهم قد بينا ٱلأيت لقوم يوقنون

Indeed, We have sent you, [O Muḥammad], with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, and you will not be asked about the companions of Hellfire.

Innaaa arsalnaaka bilhaqqi basheeranw wa nazeeranw wa laa tus’alu ‘an Ashaabil Jaheem

إنا أرسلنك بٱلحق بشيرا ونذيرا ولا تسـل عن أصحب ٱلجحيم

And never will the Jews and the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allāh is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allāh no protector or helper.

Wa lan tardaa ‘ankal Yahoodu wa lan Nasaaraa hattaa tattabi’a millatahum; qul inna hudal laahi huwalhudaa; wa la’init taba’ta ahwaaa’ahum ba’dal lazee jaaa’aka minal ‘ilmimaa laka minal laahi minw waliyyinw wa laa naseer

ولن ترضى عنك ٱليهود ولا ٱلنصرى حتى تتبع ملتهم قل إن هدى ٱلله هو ٱلهدى ولئن ٱتبعت أهواءهم بعد ٱلذي جاءك من ٱلعلم ما لك من ٱلله من ولي ولا نصير

Those to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true recital. They [are the ones who] believe in it. And whoever disbelieves in it - it is they who are the losers.

O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds.

And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, and no compensation will be accepted from it, nor will any intercession benefit it, nor will they be aided.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with words [i.e., commands] and he fulfilled them. [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [Allāh] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."

Wa izib talaaa Ibraaheema Rabbuhoo bi Kalimaatin fa atammahunna qaala Innee jaa’iluka linnaasi Imaaman qaala wa min zurriyyatee qaala laa yanaalu ‘ahdiz zaalimeen

وإذ ٱبتلى إبرهـم ربهۥ بكلمت فأتمهن قال إني جاعلك للناس إماما قال ومن ذريتي قال لا ينال عهدي ٱلظـلمين

And [mention] when We made the House [i.e., the Kaʿbah] a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], "Purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."

Wa iz ja’alnal Baita masaabatal linnaasi wa amnanw wattakhizoo mim Maqaami Ibraaheema musallaaa; wa ‘ahidnaaa ilaaa Ibraaheema wa Ismaa’eela an tahhiraa Baitiya littaaa’ifeena wal’aakifeena warrukka’is sujood

And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allāh and the Last Day." [Allāh] said, "And whoever disbelieves - I will grant him enjoyment for a little; then I will force him to the punishment of the Fire, and wretched is the destination."

And [mention] when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House and [with him] Ishmael, [saying], "Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.

Wa iz yarfa’u Ibraaheemul qawaa’ida minal Baitiwa Ismaa’eelu Rabbanaa taqabbal minnaa innaka Antas Samee’ul Aleem

Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. And show us our rites [of worship] and accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

Our Lord, and send among them a messenger from themselves who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself. And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous.

Wa mai yarghabu ‘am-Millati Ibraaheema illaa man safiha nafsah; wa laqadis tafainaahu fid-dunyaa wa innahoo fil aakhirati laminas saaliheen

When his Lord said to him, "Submit," he said, "I have submitted [in Islām] to the Lord of the worlds."

Iz qaala lahoo Rabbuhooo aslim qaala aslamtu li Rabbil ‘aalameen

إذ قال لهۥ ربهۥ أسلم قال أسلمت لرب ٱلعلمين

And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allāh has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims."

Wa wassaa bihaaa Ibraaheemu baneehi wa Ya’qoob, yaa baniyya innal laahas tafaa lakumud deena falaa tamootunna illaa wa antum muslimoon

Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

That was a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided." Say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth, and he was not of the polytheists."

Wa qaaloo koonoo Hoodan aw Nasaaraa tahtadoo; qul bal Millata Ibraaheema Haneefanw wa maa kaana minal mushrikeen

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allāh and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants [al-Asbāṭ] and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and Allāh will be sufficient for you against them. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

[And say, "Ours is] the religion of Allāh. And who is better than Allāh in [ordaining] religion? And we are worshippers of Him."

Sibghatal laahi wa man ahsanu minal laahi sibghatanw wa nahnu lahoo ‘aabidoon

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Do you argue with us about Allāh while He is our Lord and your Lord? For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. And we are sincere [in deed and intention] to Him."

قل أتحاجوننا في ٱلله وهو ربنا وربكم ولنا أعملنا ولكم أعملكم ونحن لهۥ مخلصون

Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants were Jews or Christians? Say, "Are you more knowing or is Allāh?" And who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony he has from Allāh? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

That is a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

Tilka ummatun qad khalat lahaa maa kasabat wa lakum maa kasabtum wa laa tus’aloona ‘ammaa kaano ya’maloon (section 16, End Juz 1)

تلك أمة قد خلت لها ما كسبت ولكم ما كسبتم ولا تسـلون عما كانوا يعملون

The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?" Say, "To Allāh belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."

Sayaqoolus sufahaaa’u minan naasi maa wallaahum ‘an Qiblatihimul latee kaanoo ‘alaihaa; qul lillaahil mashriqu walmaghrib; yahdee mai yashaaa’u ilaa Siraatim Mustaqeem

سيقول ٱلسفهاء من ٱلناس ما ولىهم عن قبلتهم ٱلتي كانوا عليها قل لله ٱلمشرق وٱلمغرب يهدي من يشاء إلى صرط مستقيم

And thus We have made you a median [i.e., just] community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allāh has guided. And never would Allāh have caused you to lose your faith [i.e., your previous prayers]. Indeed Allāh is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.

Wa kazaalika ja’alnaakum ummatanw wasatal litakoonoo shuhadaaa’a ‘alan naasi wa yakoonar Rasoolu ‘alaikum shaheedaa; wa maa ja’alnal qiblatal latee kunta ‘alaihaaa illaa lina’lama mai yattabi’ur Rasoola mimmai yanqalibu ‘alaa ‘aqibayh; wa in kaanat lakabeeratan illaa ‘alal lazeena hadal laah; wa maa kaanal laahu liyudee’a eemaanakum; innal laaha binnaasi la Ra’oofur Raheem

وكذلك جعلنكم أمة وسطا لتكونوا شهداء على ٱلناس ويكون ٱلرسول عليكم شهيدا وما جعلنا ٱلقبلة ٱلتي كنت عليها إلا لنعلم من يتبع ٱلرسول ممن ينقلب على عقبيه وإن كانت لكبيرة إلا على ٱلذين هدى ٱلله وما كان ٱلله ليضيع إيمنكم إن ٱلله بٱلناس لرءوف

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muḥammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face [i.e., yourself] toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces [i.e., yourselves] toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and the Christians] well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allāh is not unaware of what they do.

And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers.

Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know [it].

The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.

Alhaqqu mir Rabbika falaa takoonana minal mumtareen (section 17)

ٱلحق من ربك فلا تكونن من ٱلممترين

For each [religious following] is a [prayer] direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allāh will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

Wa likullinw wijhatun huwa muwalleehaa fastabiqul khairaat; ayna maa takoonoo yaati bikumullaahu jamee’aa; innal laaha ‘alaa kulli shai’in qadeer

ولكل وجهة هو موليها فٱستبقوا ٱلخيرت أين ما تكونوا يأت بكم ٱلله جميعا إن ٱلله على كل شيء قدير

So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muḥammad], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

Wa min haisu kharajta fawalli wajhaka shatral Masjidil Haraam; wa innahoo lalhaqqu mir Rabbik; wa mallaahu bighaafilin ‘ammaa ta’maloon

ومن حيث خرجت فول وجهك شطر ٱلمسجد ٱلحرام وإنهۥ للحق من ربك وما ٱلله بغفل عما تعملون

And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided,

Wa min haisu kharajta fawalli wajhaka shatral Masjidil Haraam; wa haisu maa kuntum fawalloo wujoohakum shatrahoo li’allaa yakoona linnaasi ‘alaikum hujjatun illal lazeena zalamoo minhum falaa takhshawhum wakhshawnee wa liutimma ni’matee ‘alaikum wa la’allakum tahtadoon

Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know.

So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.

Fazkurooneee azkurkum washkuroo lee wa laa takfuroon (section 18)

O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allāh is with the patient.

Yaaa ayyuhal laazeena aamanus ta’eenoo bissabri was Salaah; innal laaha ma’as-saabireen

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا ٱستعينوا بٱلصبر وٱلصلوة إن ٱلله مع ٱلصـبرين

And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allāh, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.

Wa laa taqooloo limai yuqtalu fee sabeelil laahi amwaat; bal ahyaaa’unw wa laakil laa tash’uroon

ولا تقولوا لمن يقتل في سبيل ٱلله أموت بل أحياء ولكن لا تشعرون

And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,

Wa lanablu wannakum bishai’im minal khawfi waljoo’i wa naqsim minal amwaali wal anfusi was samaraat; wa bashshiris saabireen

ولنبلونكم بشيء من ٱلخوف وٱلجوع ونقص من ٱلأمول وٱلأنفس وٱلثمرت وبشر ٱلصـبرين

Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allāh, and indeed to Him we will return."

Allazeena izaaa asaabathum museebatun qaalooo innaa lillaahi wa innaaa ilaihi raaji’oon

ٱلذين إذا أصبتهم مصيبة قالوا إنا لله وإنا إليه رجعون

Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.

Ulaaa’ika ‘alaihim salawaatun mir Rabbihim wa rahma; wa ulaaa’ika humul muhtadoon

أولـئك عليهم صلوت من ربهم ورحمة وأولـئك هم ٱلمهتدون

Indeed, aṣ-Ṣafā and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allāh. So whoever makes ḥajj [pilgrimage] to the House or performs ʿumrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allāh is Appreciative and Knowing.

إن ٱلصفا وٱلمروة من شعائر ٱلله فمن حج ٱلبيت أو ٱعتمر فلا جناح عليه أن يطوف بهما ومن تطوع خيرا فإن ٱلله شاكر عليم

Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allāh and cursed by those who curse,

Except for those who repent and correct themselves and make evident [what they concealed]. Those - I will accept their repentance, and I am the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - upon them will be the curse of Allāh and of the angels and the people, all together,

Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Wa ilaahukum illaahunw waahid, laaa ilaaha illaa Huwar Rahmaanur Raheem (section 19)

وإلهكم إله وحد لا إله إلا هو ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allāh has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and earth are signs for a people who use reason.

And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allāh as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allāh. But those who believe are stronger in love for Allāh. And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allāh and that Allāh is severe in punishment.

Wa minan naasi mai yattakhizu min doonil laahi andaadai yuhibboonahum kahubbil laahi wallazeena aamanooo ashaddu hubbal lillah; wa law yaral lazeena zalamoo iz yarawnal ‘azaaba annal quwwata lillaahi jamee’anw wa annallaaha shadeedul ‘azaab

[And they should consider that] when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are the ties [of relationship],

Iz tabarra al lazeenat tubi’oo minal lazeenattaba’oo wa ra awul ‘azaaba wa taqatta’at bihimul asbaab

إذ تبرأ ٱلذين ٱتبعوا من ٱلذين ٱتبعوا ورأوا ٱلعذاب وتقطعت بهم ٱلأسباب

Those who followed will say, "If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us." Thus will Allāh show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire.

وقال ٱلذين ٱتبعوا لو أن لنا كرة فنتبرأ منهم كما تبرءوا منا كذلك يريهم ٱلله أعملهم حسرت عليهم وما هم بخرجين من ٱلنار

O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allāh what you do not know.

Innamaa yaamurukum bissooo’i walfahshaaa’i wa an taqooloo alal laahi maa laa ta’lamoon

إنما يأمركم بٱلسوء وٱلفحشاء وأن تقولوا على ٱلله ما لا تعلمون

And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allāh has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?

Wa izaa qeela lahumuttabi’oo maaa anzalal laahu qaaloo bal nattabi’u maaa alfainaa ‘alaihi aabaaa’anaaa; awalaw kaana aabaaa’uhum laa ya’qiloona shai’anw wa laa yahtadoon

وإذا قيل لهم ٱتبعوا ما أنزل ٱلله قالوا بل نتبع ما ألفينا عليه ءاباءنا أولو كان ءاباؤهم لا يعقلون شيـا ولا يهتدون

The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries [i.e., cattle or sheep] - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.

Wa masalul lazeena kafaroo kamasalil lazee yan’iqu bimaa laa yasma’u illaa du’aaa’anw wa nidaaa’aa; summum bukmun ‘umyun fahum laa ya’qiloon

ومثل ٱلذين كفروا كمثل ٱلذي ينعق بما لا يسمع إلا دعاء ونداء صم بكم عمي فهم لا يعقلون

O you who have believed, eat from the good [i.e., lawful] things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allāh if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo kuloo min taiyibaati maa razaqnaakum washkuroo lillaahi in kuntum iyyaahu ta’budoon

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا كلوا من طيبت ما رزقنكم وٱشكروا لله إن كنتم إياه تعبدون

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

إنما حرم عليكم ٱلميتة وٱلدم ولحم ٱلخنزير وما أهل بهۦ لغير ٱلله فمن ٱضطر غير باغ ولا عاد فلا إثم عليه إن ٱلله غفور رحيم

Indeed, they who conceal what Allāh has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allāh will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment.

Innal lazeena yaktumoona maaa anzalal laahu minal kitaabi wa yashtaroona bihee samanan qaleelan ulaaa’ika maa yaakuloona fee butoonihim illan Naara wa laa yukallimu humul laahu Yawmal Qiyaamati wa laa yuzakkeehim wa lahum ‘azaabun aleem

Those are the ones who have exchanged guidance for error and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they are for [i.e., in pursuit of] the Fire!

Ulaaa’ikal lazeenash tarawud dalaalata bilhudaa wal’azaaba bilmaghfirah; famaaa asbarahum ‘alan Naar

That is [deserved by them] because Allāh has sent down the Book in truth. And indeed, those who differ over the Book are in extreme dissension.

Zaalika bi annal laaha nazzalal kitaaba bilhaqq; wa innal lazeenakh talafoo fil kitaabi lafee shiqaaqim ba’eed (section 21)

ذلك بأن ٱلله نزل ٱلكتب بٱلحق وإن ٱلذين ٱختلفوا في ٱلكتب لفي شقاق بعيد

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allāh, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakāh; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.

O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother [i.e., the killer] anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him [i.e., the deceased's heir or legal representative] with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment.

And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous.

Wa lakum fil qisaasi hayaatuny yaaa ulil albaabi la ‘allakum tattaqoon

ولكم في ٱلقصاص حيوة يـأولي ٱلألبب لعلكم تتقون

Prescribed for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous.

Kutiba ‘alaikum izaa hadara ahadakumul mawtu in taraka khairanil wasiyyatu lilwaalidaini wal aqrabeena bilma’roofi haqqan ‘alalmut taqeen

كتب عليكم إذا حضر أحدكم ٱلموت إن ترك خيرا ٱلوصية للولدين وٱلأقربين بٱلمعروف حقا على ٱلمتقين

Then whoever alters it [i.e., the bequest] after he has heard it - the sin is only upon those who have altered it. Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Famam baddalahoo ba’da maa sami’ahoo fa innamaaa ismuhoo ‘alallazeena yubaddi loonah; innallaha Samee’un ‘Aleem

But if one fears from the bequeather [some] error or sin and corrects that which is between them [i.e., the concerned parties], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Faman khaafa mim moosin janafan aw isman fa aslaha bainahum falaaa ismaa ‘alayh; innal laaha Ghafoorur Raheem (section 22)

فمن خاف من موص جنفا أو إثما فأصلح بينهم فلا إثم عليه إن ٱلله غفور رحيم

O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -

Yaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo kutiba ‘alaikumus Siyaamu kamaa kutiba ‘alal lazeena min qablikum la’allakum tattaqoon

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا كتب عليكم ٱلصيام كما كتب على ٱلذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون

[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of other days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers good [i.e., excess] - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.

The month of Ramaḍān [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’ān, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the crescent of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allāh intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.

And when My servants ask you, [O Muḥammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.

Wa izaa sa alaka ‘ibaadee ‘annnee fa innee qareebun ujeebu da’wataddaa’i izaa da’aani falyastajeeboo lee wal yu’minoo bee la’allahum yarshudoon

وإذا سألك عبادي عني فإني قريب أجيب دعوة ٱلداع إذا دعان فليستجيبوا لي وليؤمنوا بي لعلهم يرشدون

It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are a clothing for you and you are a clothing for them. Allāh knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allāh has decreed for you [i.e., offspring]. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night [i.e., sunset]. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allāh, so do not approach them. Thus does Allāh make clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that they may become righteous.

And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].

Wa laa taakuloo amwaalakum bainakum bilbaatili wa tudloo bihaaa ilal hukkaami litaakuloo fareeqam min amwaalin naasi bil ismi wa antum ta’lamoon (section 23)

ولا تأكلوا أمولكم بينكم بٱلبطل وتدلوا بها إلى ٱلحكام لتأكلوا فريقا من أمول ٱلناس بٱلإثم وأنتم تعلمون

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the crescent moons. Say, "They are measurements of time for the people and for ḥajj [pilgrimage]." And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allāh. And enter houses from their doors. And fear Allāh that you may succeed.

Fight in the way of Allāh those who fight against you but do not transgress. Indeed, Allāh does not like transgressors.

Wa qaatiloo fee sabeelillaahil lazeena yuqaatiloonakum wa laa ta’tadooo; innal laaha laa yuhibbul mu’tadeen

وقتلوا في سبيل ٱلله ٱلذين يقتلونكم ولا تعتدوا إن ٱلله لا يحب ٱلمعتدين

And kill them [in battle] wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Ḥarām until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

Waqtuloohum haisu saqif tumoohum wa akhrijoohum min haisu akhrajookum; walfitnatu ashaddu minal qatl; wa laa tuqaatiloohum ‘indal Masjidil Haraami hattaa yaqaatilookum feehi fa in qaatalookum faqtuloohum; kazaalika jazaaa’ul kaafireen

وٱقتلوهم حيث ثقفتموهم وأخرجوهم من حيث أخرجوكم وٱلفتنة أشد من ٱلقتل ولا تقتلوهم عند ٱلمسجد ٱلحرام حتى يقتلوكم فيه فإن قتلوكم فٱقتلوهم كذلك جزاء ٱلكفرين

And if they cease, then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Fa ininn-tahaw fa innal laaha Ghafoorur Raheem

فإن ٱنتهوا فإن ٱلله غفور رحيم

Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] religion [i.e., worship] is [acknowledged to be] for Allāh. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression [i.e., assault] except against the oppressors.

Wa qaatiloohum hatta laa takoona fitnatunw wa yakoonad deenu lillaahi fa-inin tahaw falaa ‘udwaana illaa ‘alaz zaalimeen

وقتلوهم حتى لا تكون فتنة ويكون ٱلدين لله فإن ٱنتهوا فلا عدون إلا على ٱلظـلمين

[Battle in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is with those who fear Him.

And spend in the way of Allāh and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.

Wa anfiqoo fee sabeelil laahi wa laa tulqoo bi aydeekum ilat tahlukati wa ahsinoo; innal laaha yuhibbul muhsineen

And complete the ḥajj and ʿumrah for Allāh. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice. And when you are secure, then whoever performs ʿumrah [during the ḥajj months] followed by ḥajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during ḥajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is severe in penalty.

Ḥajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made ḥajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of iḥrām], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during ḥajj. And whatever good you do - Allāh knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allāh. And fear Me, O you of understanding.

There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord [during ḥajj]. But when you depart from ʿArafāt, remember Allāh at al-Mashʿar al-Ḥarām. And remember Him, as He has guided you, for indeed, you were before that among those astray.

Then depart from the place from where [all] the people depart and ask forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

And when you have completed your rites, remember Allāh like your [previous] remembrance of your fathers or with [much] greater remembrance. And among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.

فإذا قضيتم منسككم فٱذكروا ٱلله كذكركم ءاباءكم أو أشد ذكرا فمن ٱلناس من يقول ربنا ءاتنا في ٱلدنيا وما لهۥ في ٱلأخرة من خلق

But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

Wa minhum mai yaqoolu rabbanaaa aatina fid dunyaa hasanatanw wa fil aakhirati hasanatanw wa qinaa azaaban Naar

Those will have a share of what they have earned, and Allāh is swift in account.

Ulaaa’ika lahum naseebum mimmaa kasaboo; wal laahu saree’ul hisaab

And remember Allāh during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him - for him who fears Allāh. And fear Allāh and know that unto Him you will be gathered.

وٱذكروا ٱلله في أيام معدودت فمن تعجل في يومين فلا إثم عليه ومن تأخر فلا إثم عليه لمن ٱتقى وٱتقوا ٱلله وٱعلموا أنكم إليه تحشرون

And of the people is he whose speech pleases you in worldly life, and he calls Allāh to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the fiercest of opponents.

And when he goes away, he strives throughout the land to cause corruption therein and destroy crops and animals. And Allāh does not like corruption.

Wa izaa tawallaa sa’aa fil ardi liyufsida feeha wa yuhlikal harsa wannasl; wallaahu laa yuhibbul fasaad

And when it is said to him, "Fear Allāh," pride in the sin takes hold of him. Sufficient for him is Hellfire, and how wretched is the resting place.

Wa izaa qeela lahuttaqil laaha akhazathul izzatu bil-ism; fahasbuhoo jahannam; wa labi’sal mihaad

And of the people is he who sells himself, seeking means to the approval of Allāh. And Allāh is Kind to [His] servants.

O you who have believed, enter into Islām completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

But if you slip [i.e., deviate] after clear proofs have come to you, then know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Do they await but that Allāh should come to them in covers of clouds and the angels [as well] and the matter is [then] decided? And to Allāh [all] matters are returned.

Ask the Children of Israel how many a sign of evidence We have given them. And whoever exchanges the favor of Allāh [for disbelief] after it has come to him - then indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty.

Beautified for those who disbelieve is the life of this world, and they ridicule those who believe. But those who fear Allāh are above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account.

Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allāh sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allāh guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allāh?" Unquestionably, the help of Allāh is near.

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it."

Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not.

They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allāh and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allāh. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allāh - those expect the mercy of Allāh. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allāh makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought

To this world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. And if you mix your affairs with theirs - they are your brothers. And Allāh knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allāh had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. Indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allāh invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that perhaps they may remember.

And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allāh has ordained for you. Indeed, Allāh loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."

Your wives are a place of cultivation [i.e., sowing of seed] for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allāh and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers.

And do not make [your oath by] Allāh an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allāh and making peace among people. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Allāh does not impose blame upon you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He imposes blame upon you for what your hearts have earned. And Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.

For those who swear not to have sexual relations with their wives is a waiting time of four months, but if they return [to normal relations] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

And if they decide on divorce - then indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Wa in ‘azamut talaaqa fa innal laaha Samee’un ‘Aleem

Divorced women remain in waiting [i.e., do not remarry] for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allāh has created in their wombs if they believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation. And due to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men [i.e., husbands] have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Divorce is twice. Then [after that], either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allāh. But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allāh, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allāh, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allāh - it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].

And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if he [i.e., the latter husband] divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon them [i.e., the woman and her former husband] for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allāh. These are the limits of Allāh, which He makes clear to a people who know [i.e.,understand].

And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or release them according to acceptable terms, and do not keep them, intending harm, to transgress [against them]. And whoever does that has certainly wronged himself. And do not take the verses of Allāh in jest. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you and what has been revealed to you of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom [i.e., the Prophet's sunnah] by which He instructs you. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is Knowing of all things.

And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they [i.e., all parties] agree among themselves on an acceptable basis. That is instructed to whoever of you believes in Allāh and the Last Day. That is better for you and purer, and Allāh knows and you know not.

Mothers may nurse [i.e., breastfeed] their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. Upon the father is their [i.e., the mothers'] provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is Seeing of what you do.

And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - they, [the wives, shall] wait four months and ten [days]. And when they have fulfilled their term, then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable manner. And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.

There is no blame upon you for that to which you [indirectly] allude concerning a proposal to women or for what you conceal within yourselves. Allāh knows that you will have them in mind. But do not promise them secretly except for saying a proper saying. And do not determine to undertake a marriage contract until the decreed period reaches its end. And know that Allāh knows what is within yourselves, so beware of Him. And know that Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.

There is no blame upon you if you divorce women you have not touched nor specified for them an obligation. But give them [a gift of] compensation - the wealthy according to his capability and the poor according to his capability - a provision according to what is acceptable, a duty upon the doers of good.

And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified - unless they forego the right or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract foregoes it. And to forego it is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you. Indeed Allāh, of whatever you do, is Seeing.

Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle [i.e., ʿaṣr] prayer and stand before Allāh, devoutly obedient.

Haafizoo ‘alas salawaati was Salaatil Wustaa wa qoomoo lillaahi qaaniteen

حفظوا على ٱلصلوت وٱلصلوة ٱلوسطى وقوموا لله قنتين

And if you fear [an enemy, then pray] on foot or riding. But when you are secure, then remember Allāh [in prayer], as He has taught you that which you did not [previously] know.

Fa in khiftum farijaalan aw rukbaanan fa izaaa amintum fazkurul laaha kamaa ‘allamakum maa lam takoonoo ta’lamoon

فإن خفتم فرجالا أو ركبانا فإذا أمنتم فٱذكروا ٱلله كما علمكم ما لم تكونوا تعلمون

And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - for their wives is a bequest: maintenance for one year without turning [them] out. But if they leave [of their own accord], then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable way. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

And for divorced women is a provision according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous.

Wa lilmutallaqaati mataa’um bilma’roofi haqqan ‘alal muttaqeen

Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses [i.e., laws] that you might use reason.

Kazaalika yubaiyinul laahu lakum aayaatihee la’allakum ta’qiloon (section 31)

كذلك يبين ٱلله لكم ءايتهۦ لعلكم تعقلون

Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allāh said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.

And fight in the cause of Allāh and know that Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Wa qaatiloo fee sabeelil laahi wa’lamooo annal laaha Samee’un ‘Aleem

وقتلوا في سبيل ٱلله وٱعلموا أن ٱلله سميع عليم

Who is it that would loan Allāh a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allāh who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.

Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allāh"? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if battle was prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allāh when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when battle was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allāh has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allāh has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allāh gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."

Wa qaala lahum Nabiy yuhum innal laaha qad ba’asa lakum Taaloota malikaa; qaalooo annaa yakoonu lahul mulku ‘alainaa wa nahnu ahaqqu bilmulki minhu wa lam yu’ta sa’atamminal maal; qaala innallaahas tafaahu ‘alaikum wa zaadahoo bastatan fil’ilmi waljismi wallaahu yu’tee mulkahoo mai yashaaa’; wallaahu Waasi’un ‘Aleem

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."

Wa qaala lahum Nabiyyuhum inna Aayata mulkiheee ai yaatiyakumut Taabootu feehi sakeenatummir Rabbikum wa baqiyyatummimmaa taraka Aalu Moosa wa Aalu Haaroona tahmiluhul malaaa’ikah; inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lakum in kuntum mu’mineen (section 32)

And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allāh will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain that they would meet Allāh said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allāh. And Allāh is with the patient."

And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

Wa lammaa barazoo liJaaloota wa junoodihee qaaloo Rabbanaaa afrigh ‘alainaa sabranw wa sabbit aqdaamanaa wansurnaa ‘alal qawmil kaafireen

ولما برزوا لجالوت وجنودهۦ قالوا ربنا أفرغ علينا صبرا وثبت أقدامنا وٱنصرنا على ٱلقوم ٱلكفرين

So they defeated them by permission of Allāh, and David killed Goliath, and Allāh gave him the kingship and wisdom [i.e., prophethood] and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allāh checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the worlds.

These are the verses of Allāh which We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth. And indeed, you are from among the messengers.

Tilka Aayaatul laahi natloohaa ‘alaika bilhaqq; wa innaka laminal mursaleen (End Juz 2)

تلك ءايت ٱلله نتلوها عليك بٱلحق وإنك لمن ٱلمرسلين

Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.

O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange [i.e., ransom] and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا أنفقوا مما رزقنكم من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا بيع فيه ولا خلة ولا شفعة وٱلكفرون هم ٱلظـلمون

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become distinct from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Allāh is the Ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."

And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [Allāh] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [Allāh] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself. Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."

The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allāh multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

مثل ٱلذين ينفقون أمولهم في سبيل ٱلله كمثل حبة أنبتت سبع سنابل في كل سنبلة مائة حبة وٱلله يضعف لمن يشاء وٱلله وسع عليم

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

ٱلذين ينفقون أمولهم في سبيل ٱلله ثم لا يتبعون ما أنفقوا منا ولا أذى لهم أجرهم عند ربهم ولا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allāh is Free of need and Forbearing.

Qawlum ma’roofunw wa maghfiratun khairum min sadaqatiny yatba’uhaaa azaa; wallaahu Ghaniyyun Haleem

قول معروف ومغفرة خير من صدقة يتبعها أذى وٱلله غني حليم

O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders [of it] or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allāh and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.

And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allāh and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.

Wa masalul lazeena yunfiqoona amwaalahu mubtighaaa’a mardaatil laahi wa tasbeetam min anfusihim kamasali jannatim birabwatin asaabahaa waabilun fa aatat ukulahaa di’faini fa il lam yusibhaa waabilun fatall; wallaahu bimaa ta’maloona Baseer

Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak [i.e., immature] offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allāh make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.

Ayawaddu ahadukum an takoona lahoo jannatum min nakheelinw wa a’naabin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru lahoo feehaa min kullis samaraati wa asaabahul kibaru wa lahoo zurriyyatun du’afaaa’u fa asaabahaaa i’saarun feehi naarun fahtaraqat; kazaalika yubaiyinul laahu lakumul aayaati la’allakum tatafakkaroon (section 36)

O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allāh promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.

And whatever you spend of expenditures or make of vows - indeed, Allāh knows of it. And for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.

Wa maaa anfaqtum min nafaqatin aw nazartum min nazrin fa innal laaha ya’lamuh; wa maa lizzaalimeena min ansaar

وما أنفقتم من نفقة أو نذرتم من نذر فإن ٱلله يعلمهۥ وما للظـلمين من أنصار

If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

In tubdus sadaqaati fani’immaa hiya wa in tukhfoohaa wa tu’toohal fuqaraaa’a fahuwa khayrul lakum; wa yukaffiru ‘ankum min saiyi aatikum; wallaahu bimaa ta’maloona Khabeer

إن تبدوا ٱلصدقت فنعما هي وإن تخفوها وتؤتوها ٱلفقراء فهو خير لكم ويكفر عنكم من سيـاتكم وٱلله بما تعملون خبير

Not upon you, [O Muḥammad], is [responsibility for] their guidance, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And whatever good you [believers] spend is for yourselves, and you do not spend except seeking the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh. And whatever you spend of good - it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.

ليس عليك هدىهم ولكن ٱلله يهدي من يشاء وما تنفقوا من خير فلأنفسكم وما تنفقون إلا ٱبتغاء وجه ٱلله وما تنفقوا من خير يوف إليكم وأنتم لا تظلمون

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allāh, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.

Lilfuqaraaa’il lazeena uhsiroo fee sabeelil laahi laa yastatee’oona darban fil ardi yah sabuhumul jaahilu aghniyaaa’a minat ta’affufi ta’rifuhum biseemaahum laa yas’aloonan naasa ilhaafaa; wa maa tunfiqoo min khairin fa innal laaha bihee ‘Aleem (section 37)

للفقراء ٱلذين أحصروا في سبيل ٱلله لا يستطيعون ضربا في ٱلأرض يحسبهم ٱلجاهل أغنياء من ٱلتعفف تعرفهم بسيمهم لا يسـلون ٱلناس إلحافا وما تنفقوا من خير فإن ٱلله بهۦ عليم

Those who spend their wealth [in Allāh's way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Allazeena yunfiqoona amwaalahum billaili wan nahaari sirranw wa ‘alaaniyatan falahum ajruhum ‘inda Rabbihim wa laa khawfun ‘alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon

ٱلذين ينفقون أمولهم بٱليل وٱلنهار سرا وعلانية فلهم أجرهم عند ربهم ولا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allāh has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allāh. But whoever returns [to dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

Allazeena yaakuloonar ribaa laa yaqoomoona illaa kamaa yaqoomul lazee yatakhabbatuhush shaitaanu minal mass; zaalika bi annahum qaalooo innamal bai’u mislur ribaa; wa ahallal laahul bai’a wa harramar ribaa; faman jaaa’ahoo maw’izatum mir rabbihee fantahaa falahoo maa salafa wa amruhooo ilal laahi wa man ‘aada fa ulaaa ‘ika Ashaabun naari hum feehaa khaalidoon

ٱلذين يأكلون ٱلربوا لا يقومون إلا كما يقوم ٱلذي يتخبطه ٱلشيطن من ٱلمس ذلك بأنهم قالوا إنما ٱلبيع مثل ٱلربوا وأحل ٱلله ٱلبيع وحرم ٱلربوا فمن جاءهۥ موعظة من ربهۦ فٱنتهى فلهۥ ما سلف وأمرهۥ إلى ٱلله ومن عاد فأولـئك أصحب ٱلنار هم فيها خلدون

Allāh destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allāh does not like every sinning disbeliever.

Yamhaqul laahur ribaa wa yurbis sadaqaat; wallaahu laa yuhibbu kulla kaffaarin aseem

يمحق ٱلله ٱلربوا ويربي ٱلصدقت وٱلله لا يحب كل كفار أثيم

Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give zakāh will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Innal lazeena aamanoo wa amilus saalihaati wa aqaamus salaata wa aatawuz zakaata lahum ajruhum ‘inda rabbihim wa laa khawfun ‘alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon

إن ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصـلحت وأقاموا ٱلصلوة وءاتوا ٱلزكوة لهم أجرهم عند ربهم ولا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

O you who have believed, fear Allāh and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers.

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanut taqul laaha wa zaroo maa baqiya minar ribaaa in kuntum mu’mineen

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا ٱتقوا ٱلله وذروا ما بقي من ٱلربوا إن كنتم مؤمنين

And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allāh and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may have your principal - [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged.

Fail lam taf’aloo faazanoo biharbim minal laahi wa Rasoolihee wa in tubtum falakum ru’oosu amwaalikum laa tazlimoona wa laa tuzlamoon

فإن لم تفعلوا فأذنوا بحرب من ٱلله ورسولهۦ وإن تبتم فلكم رءوس أمولكم لا تظلمون ولا تظلمون

And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew.

Wa in kaana zoo ‘usratin fanaziratun ilaa maisarah; wa an tasaddaqoo khairul lakum in kuntum ta’lamoon

وإن كان ذو عسرة فنظرة إلى ميسرة وأن تصدقوا خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون

And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allāh. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged [i.e., treated unjustly].

Wattaqoo yawman turja’oona feehi ilal laahi summa tuwaffaa kullu nafsim maa kasabat wa hum laa yuzlamoon (section 38)

وٱتقوا يوما ترجعون فيه إلى ٱلله ثم توفى كل نفس ما كسبت وهم لا يظلمون

O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allāh has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation [i.e., the debtor] dictate. And let him fear Allāh, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of them [i.e., the women] errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just in the sight of Allāh and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction which you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no blame upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude a contract. Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is [grave] disobedience in you. And fear Allāh. And Allāh teaches you. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا إذا تداينتم بدين إلى أجل مسمى فٱكتبوه وليكتب بينكم كاتب بٱلعدل ولا يأب كاتب أن يكتب كما علمه ٱلله فليكتب وليملل ٱلذي عليه ٱلحق وليتق ٱلله ربهۥ ولا يبخس منه شيـا فإن كان ٱلذي عليه ٱلحق سفيها أو ضعيفا أو لا يستطيع أن يمل هو فليملل وليهۥ بٱلعدل وٱستشهدوا شهيدين من رجالكم فإن لم يكونا رجلين فرجل وٱمرأتان ممن ترضون من ٱلشهداء أن تضل إحدىهما فتذكر إحدىهما ٱلأخرى ولا يأب ٱلشهداء إذا ما دعوا ولا تسـموا أن تكتبوه صغيرا أو كبيرا إلى أجلهۦ ذلكم أقسط عند ٱلله وأقوم للشهدة وأدنى ألا ترتابوا إلا أن تكون تجرة حاضرة تديرونها بينكم فليس عليكم جناح ألا تكتبوها وأشهدوا إذا تبايعتم ولا يضار كاتب ولا شهيد وإن تفعلوا فإنهۥ فسوق بكم وٱتقوا ٱلله ويعلمكم ٱلله وٱلله بكل شيء عليم

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allāh, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allāh is Knowing of what you do.

Wa in kuntum ‘alaa safarinw wa lam tajidoo kaatiban farihaanum maqboodatun fa in amina ba’dukum ba’dan falyu’addil lazi tumina amaa natahoo walyattaqil laaha Rabbah; wa laa taktumush shahaadah; wa mai yaktumhaa fa innahooo aasimun qalbuh; wallaahu bimaa ta’maloona ‘Aleem (section 39)

وإن كنتم على سفر ولم تجدوا كاتبا فرهن مقبوضة فإن أمن بعضكم بعضا فليؤد ٱلذي ٱؤتمن أمنتهۥ وليتق ٱلله ربهۥ ولا تكتموا ٱلشهدة ومن يكتمها فإنهۥ ءاثم قلبهۥ وٱلله بما تعملون عليم

To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allāh will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

Lillaahi maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil ard; wa in tubdoo maa feee anfusikum aw tukhfoohu yuhaasibkum bihil laa; fayaghfiru li mai yashaaa’u wa yu’azzibu mai yashaaa u;wallaahu ‘alaa kulli shai in qadeer

لله ما في ٱلسموت وما في ٱلأرض وإن تبدوا ما في أنفسكم أو تخفوه يحاسبكم به ٱلله فيغفر لمن يشاء ويعذب من يشاء وٱلله على كل شيء قدير

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allāh and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."

Allāh does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."
