Arabic
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا كثيرا ونساء ۚ واتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والأرحام ۚ إن الله كان عليكم رقيبا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you). Lo! Allah hath been a watcher over you.
Arabic
وآتوا اليتامى أموالهم ۖ ولا تتبدلوا الخبيث بالطيب ۖ ولا تأكلوا أموالهم إلى أموالكم ۚ إنه كان حوبا كبيرا
Give unto orphans their wealth. Exchange not the good for the bad (in your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own wealth. Lo! that would be a great sin.
Arabic
وإن خفتم ألا تقسطوا في اليتامى فانكحوا ما طاب لكم من النساء مثنى وثلاث ورباع ۖ فإن خفتم ألا تعدلوا فواحدة أو ما ملكت أيمانكم ۚ ذلك أدنى ألا تعولوا
And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye will not do injustice.
Arabic
وآتوا النساء صدقاتهن نحلة ۚ فإن طبن لكم عن شيء منه نفسا فكلوه هنيئا مريئا
And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of their marriage portions; but if they of their own accord remit unto you a part thereof, then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth).
Arabic
ولا تؤتوا السفهاء أموالكم التي جعل الله لكم قياما وارزقوهم فيها واكسوهم وقولوا لهم قولا معروفا
Give not unto the foolish (what is in) your (keeping of their) wealth, which Allah hath given you to maintain; but feed and clothe them from it, and speak kindly unto them.
Arabic
وابتلوا اليتامى حتى إذا بلغوا النكاح فإن آنستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا إليهم أموالهم ۖ ولا تأكلوها إسرافا وبدارا أن يكبروا ۚ ومن كان غنيا فليستعفف ۖ ومن كان فقيرا فليأكل بالمعروف ۚ فإذا دفعتم إليهم أموالهم فأشهدوا عليهم ۚ وكفى بالله حسيبا
Prove orphans till they reach the marriageable age; then, if ye find them of sound judgment, deliver over unto them their fortune; and devour it not by squandering and in haste lest they should grow up Whoso (of the guardians) is rich, let him abstain generously (from taking of the property of orphans); and whoso is poor let him take thereof in reason (for his guardianship). And when ye deliver up their fortune unto orphans, have (the transaction) witnessed in their presence. Allah sufficeth as a Reckoner.
Arabic
للرجال نصيب مما ترك الوالدان والأقربون وللنساء نصيب مما ترك الوالدان والأقربون مما قل منه أو كثر ۚ نصيبا مفروضا
Unto the men (of a family) belongeth a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, and unto the women a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, whether it be little or much - a legal share.
Arabic
وإذا حضر القسمة أولو القربى واليتامى والمساكين فارزقوهم منه وقولوا لهم قولا معروفا
And let those fear (in their behaviour toward orphans) who if they left behind them weak offspring would be afraid for them. So let them mind their duty to Allah, and speak justly.
Arabic
إن الذين يأكلون أموال اليتامى ظلما إنما يأكلون في بطونهم نارا ۖ وسيصلون سعيرا
Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame.
Arabic
يوصيكم الله في أولادكم ۖ للذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين ۚ فإن كن نساء فوق اثنتين فلهن ثلثا ما ترك ۖ وإن كانت واحدة فلها النصف ۚ ولأبويه لكل واحد منهما السدس مما ترك إن كان له ولد ۚ فإن لم يكن له ولد وورثه أبواه فلأمه الثلث ۚ فإن كان له إخوة فلأمه السدس ۚ من بعد وصية يوصي بها أو دين ۗ آباؤكم وأبناؤكم لا تدرون أيهم أقرب لكم نفعا ۚ فريضة من الله ۗ إن الله كان عليما حكيما
Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two, then theirs is two - thirds of the inheritance, and if there be one (only) then the half. And to each of his parents a sixth of the inheritance, if he have a son; and if he have no son and his parents are his heirs, then to his mother appertaineth the third; and if he have brethren, then to his mother appertaineth the sixth, after any legacy he may have bequeathed, or debt (hath been paid). Your parents and your children: Ye know not which of them is nearer unto you in usefulness. It is an injunction from Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.
Arabic
۞ ولكم نصف ما ترك أزواجكم إن لم يكن لهن ولد ۚ فإن كان لهن ولد فلكم الربع مما تركن ۚ من بعد وصية يوصين بها أو دين ۚ ولهن الربع مما تركتم إن لم يكن لكم ولد ۚ فإن كان لكم ولد فلهن الثمن مما تركتم ۚ من بعد وصية توصون بها أو دين ۗ وإن كان رجل يورث كلالة أو امرأة وله أخ أو أخت فلكل واحد منهما السدس ۚ فإن كانوا أكثر من ذلك فهم شركاء في الثلث ۚ من بعد وصية يوصى بها أو دين غير مضار ۚ وصية من الله ۗ والله عليم حليم
And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, afte r any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt (they ma y have contracted, hath been paid). And unto them belon geth the fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no ch ild, but if ye have a child then the eighth of that whi ch ye leave, after any legacy ye may have bequeathed, o r debt (ye may have contracted, hath been paid). And if a man or a woman have a distant heir (having left neit her parent nor child), and he (or she) have a brother o r a sister (only on the mother's side) then to each of them twain (the brother and the sister) the sixth, and if they be more than two, then they shall be sharers in the third, after any legacy that may have been bequeat hed or debt (contracted) not injuring (the heirs by wil ling away more than a third of the heritage) hath been
Arabic
تلك حدود الله ۚ ومن يطع الله ورسوله يدخله جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها ۚ وذلك الفوز العظيم
These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow, where such will dwell for ever. That will be the great success.
Arabic
ومن يعص الله ورسوله ويتعد حدوده يدخله نارا خالدا فيها وله عذاب مهين
And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger and transgresseth His limits, He will make him enter Fire, where he will dwell for ever; his will be a shameful doom.
Arabic
واللاتي يأتين الفاحشة من نسائكم فاستشهدوا عليهن أربعة منكم ۖ فإن شهدوا فأمسكوهن في البيوت حتى يتوفاهن الموت أو يجعل الله لهن سبيلا
As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).
Arabic
واللذان يأتيانها منكم فآذوهما ۖ فإن تابا وأصلحا فأعرضوا عنهما ۗ إن الله كان توابا رحيما
And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent and improve, then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever relenting, Merciful.
Arabic
إنما التوبة على الله للذين يعملون السوء بجهالة ثم يتوبون من قريب فأولئك يتوب الله عليهم ۗ وكان الله عليما حكيما
Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These are they toward whom Allah relenteth. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
Arabic
وليست التوبة للذين يعملون السيئات حتى إذا حضر أحدهم الموت قال إني تبت الآن ولا الذين يموتون وهم كفار ۚ أولئك أعتدنا لهم عذابا أليما
The forgiveness is not for those who do ill - deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا يحل لكم أن ترثوا النساء كرها ۖ ولا تعضلوهن لتذهبوا ببعض ما آتيتموهن إلا أن يأتين بفاحشة مبينة ۚ وعاشروهن بالمعروف ۚ فإن كرهتموهن فعسى أن تكرهوا شيئا ويجعل الله فيه خيرا كثيرا
O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in kindness, for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein Allah hath placed much good.
Arabic
وإن أردتم استبدال زوج مكان زوج وآتيتم إحداهن قنطارا فلا تأخذوا منه شيئا ۚ أتأخذونه بهتانا وإثما مبينا
And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them a sum of money (however great), take nothing from it. Would ye take it by the way of calumny and open wrong ?
Arabic
وكيف تأخذونه وقد أفضى بعضكم إلى بعض وأخذن منكم ميثاقا غليظا
And marry not those women whom your fathers married, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! it was ever lewdness and abomination, and an evil way.
Arabic
حرمت عليكم أمهاتكم وبناتكم وأخواتكم وعماتكم وخالاتكم وبنات الأخ وبنات الأخت وأمهاتكم اللاتي أرضعنكم وأخواتكم من الرضاعة وأمهات نسائكم وربائبكم اللاتي في حجوركم من نسائكم اللاتي دخلتم بهن فإن لم تكونوا دخلتم بهن فلا جناح عليكم وحلائل أبنائكم الذين من أصلابكم وأن تجمعوا بين الأختين إلا ما قد سلف ۗ إن الله كان غفورا رحيما
Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster - mothers, and your foster - sisters, and your mothers - in - law, and your step - daughters who are under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters) - and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
۞ والمحصنات من النساء إلا ما ملكت أيمانكم ۖ كتاب الله عليكم ۚ وأحل لكم ما وراء ذلكم أن تبتغوا بأموالكم محصنين غير مسافحين ۚ فما استمتعتم به منهن فآتوهن أجورهن فريضة ۚ ولا جناح عليكم فيما تراضيتم به من بعد الفريضة ۚ إن الله كان عليما حكيما
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
Arabic
ومن لم يستطع منكم طولا أن ينكح المحصنات المؤمنات فمن ما ملكت أيمانكم من فتياتكم المؤمنات ۚ والله أعلم بإيمانكم ۚ بعضكم من بعض ۚ فانكحوهن بإذن أهلهن وآتوهن أجورهن بالمعروف محصنات غير مسافحات ولا متخذات أخدان ۚ فإذا أحصن فإن أتين بفاحشة فعليهن نصف ما على المحصنات من العذاب ۚ ذلك لمن خشي العنت منكم ۚ وأن تصبروا خير لكم ۗ والله غفور رحيم
And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
يريد الله ليبين لكم ويهديكم سنن الذين من قبلكم ويتوب عليكم ۗ والله عليم حكيم
O ye who believe! Squander not your wealth among yourselves in vanity, except it be a trade by mutual consent, and kill not one another. Lo! Allah is ever Merciful unto you.
Arabic
ومن يفعل ذلك عدوانا وظلما فسوف نصليه نارا ۚ وكان ذلك على الله يسيرا
And covet not the thing in which Allah hath made some of you excel others. Unto men a fortune from that which they have earned, and unto women a fortune from that which they have earned. (Envy not one another) but ask Allah of His bounty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower of all things.
Arabic
ولكل جعلنا موالي مما ترك الوالدان والأقربون ۚ والذين عقدت أيمانكم فآتوهم نصيبهم ۚ إن الله كان على كل شيء شهيدا
And unto each We have appointed heirs of that which parents and near kindred leave; and as for those with whom your right hands have made a covenant, give them their due. Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all things.
Arabic
الرجال قوامون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض وبما أنفقوا من أموالهم ۚ فالصالحات قانتات حافظات للغيب بما حفظ الله ۚ واللاتي تخافون نشوزهن فعظوهن واهجروهن في المضاجع واضربوهن ۖ فإن أطعنكم فلا تبغوا عليهن سبيلا ۗ إن الله كان عليا كبيرا
Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
Arabic
وإن خفتم شقاق بينهما فابعثوا حكما من أهله وحكما من أهلها إن يريدا إصلاحا يوفق الله بينهما ۗ إن الله كان عليما خبيرا
And if ye fear a breach between them twain (the man and wife), appoint an arbiter from his folk and an arbiter from her folk. If they desire amendment Allah will make them of one mind. Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Aware.
Arabic
۞ واعبدوا الله ولا تشركوا به شيئا ۖ وبالوالدين إحسانا وبذي القربى واليتامى والمساكين والجار ذي القربى والجار الجنب والصاحب بالجنب وابن السبيل وما ملكت أيمانكم ۗ إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخورا
And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is not of kin, and the fellow - traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful,
Arabic
الذين يبخلون ويأمرون الناس بالبخل ويكتمون ما آتاهم الله من فضله ۗ وأعتدنا للكافرين عذابا مهينا
Who hoard their wealth and enjoin avarice on others, and hide that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty. For disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom;
Arabic
والذين ينفقون أموالهم رئاء الناس ولا يؤمنون بالله ولا باليوم الآخر ۗ ومن يكن الشيطان له قرينا فساء قرينا
And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a comrade, a bad comrade hath he.
Arabic
وماذا عليهم لو آمنوا بالله واليوم الآخر وأنفقوا مما رزقهم الله ۚ وكان الله بهم عليما
What have they (to fear) if they believe in Allah and the Last Day and spend (aright) of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them, when Allah is ever Aware of them (and all they do) ?
Arabic
إن الله لا يظلم مثقال ذرة ۖ وإن تك حسنة يضاعفها ويؤت من لدنه أجرا عظيما
Lo! Allah wrongeth not even of the weight of an ant; and if there is a good deed, He will double it and will give (the doer) from His presence an immense reward.
Arabic
فكيف إذا جئنا من كل أمة بشهيد وجئنا بك على هؤلاء شهيدا
On that day those who disbelieved and disobeyed the messenger will wish that they were level with the ground, and they can hide no fact from Allah.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تقربوا الصلاة وأنتم سكارى حتى تعلموا ما تقولون ولا جنبا إلا عابري سبيل حتى تغتسلوا ۚ وإن كنتم مرضى أو على سفر أو جاء أحد منكم من الغائط أو لامستم النساء فلم تجدوا ماء فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا فامسحوا بوجوهكم وأيديكم ۗ إن الله كان عفوا غفورا
O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted, save when journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed. And if ye be ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands (therewith). Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving.
Arabic
ألم تر إلى الذين أوتوا نصيبا من الكتاب يشترون الضلالة ويريدون أن تضلوا السبيل
Seest thou not those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how they purchase error, and seek to make you (Muslims) err from the right way ?
Arabic
والله أعلم بأعدائكم ۚ وكفى بالله وليا وكفى بالله نصيرا
Allah knoweth best (who are) your enemies. Allah is sufficient as a Guardian, and Allah is sufficient as a Supporter.
Arabic
من الذين هادوا يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ويقولون سمعنا وعصينا واسمع غير مسمع وراعنا ليا بألسنتهم وطعنا في الدين ۚ ولو أنهم قالوا سمعنا وأطعنا واسمع وانظرنا لكان خيرا لهم وأقوم ولكن لعنهم الله بكفرهم فلا يؤمنون إلا قليلا
Some of those who are Jews change words from their context and say: "We hear and disobey; hear thou as one who heareth not" and "Listen to us!" distorting with their tongues and slandering religion. If they had said: "We hear and we obey: hear thou, and look at us" it had been better for them, and more upright. But Allah hath cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, save a few.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين أوتوا الكتاب آمنوا بما نزلنا مصدقا لما معكم من قبل أن نطمس وجوها فنردها على أدبارها أو نلعنهم كما لعنا أصحاب السبت ۚ وكان أمر الله مفعولا
O ye unto whom the Scripture hath been given! Believe in what We have revealed confirming that which ye possess, before We destroy countenances so as to confound them, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath - breakers (of old time). The commandment of Allah is always executed.
Arabic
إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء ۚ ومن يشرك بالله فقد افترى إثما عظيما
Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him. He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin.
Arabic
ألم تر إلى الذين يزكون أنفسهم ۚ بل الله يزكي من يشاء ولا يظلمون فتيلا
Hast thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity ? Nay, Allah purifieth whom He will, and they will not be wronged even the hair upon a date - stone.
Arabic
انظر كيف يفترون على الله الكذب ۖ وكفى به إثما مبينا
Hast thou not seen those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how they believe in idols and false deities, and how they say of those (idolaters) who disbelieve: "These are more rightly guided than those who believe" ?
Arabic
أولئك الذين لعنهم الله ۖ ومن يلعن الله فلن تجد له نصيرا
Or are they jealous of mankind because of that which Allah of His bounty hath bestowed upon them ? For We bestowed upon the house of Abraham (of old) the Scripture and wisdom, and We bestowed on them a mighty kingdom.
Arabic
فمنهم من آمن به ومنهم من صد عنه ۚ وكفى بجهنم سعيرا
Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.
Arabic
والذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات سندخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا ۖ لهم فيها أزواج مطهرة ۖ وندخلهم ظلا ظليلا
And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall make them enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow - to dwell therein for ever; there for them are pure companions - and We shall make them enter plenteous shade.
Arabic
۞ إن الله يأمركم أن تؤدوا الأمانات إلى أهلها وإذا حكمتم بين الناس أن تحكموا بالعدل ۚ إن الله نعما يعظكم به ۗ إن الله كان سميعا بصيرا
Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول وأولي الأمر منكم ۖ فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر ۚ ذلك خير وأحسن تأويلا
O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those of you who are in authority; and if ye have a dispute concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and the messenger if ye are (in truth) believers in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more seemly in the end.
Arabic
ألم تر إلى الذين يزعمون أنهم آمنوا بما أنزل إليك وما أنزل من قبلك يريدون أن يتحاكموا إلى الطاغوت وقد أمروا أن يكفروا به ويريد الشيطان أن يضلهم ضلالا بعيدا
Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them ? Satan would mislead them far astray.
Arabic
وإذا قيل لهم تعالوا إلى ما أنزل الله وإلى الرسول رأيت المنافقين يصدون عنك صدودا
And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which Allah hath revealed and unto the messenger, thou seest the hypocrites turn from thee with aversion.
Arabic
فكيف إذا أصابتهم مصيبة بما قدمت أيديهم ثم جاءوك يحلفون بالله إن أردنا إلا إحسانا وتوفيقا
How would it be if a misfortune smote them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them) ? Then would they come unto thee, swearing by Allah that they were seeking naught but harmony and kindness.
Arabic
أولئك الذين يعلم الله ما في قلوبهم فأعرض عنهم وعظهم وقل لهم في أنفسهم قولا بليغا
We sent no messenger save that he should be obeyed by Allah's leave. And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدوا في أنفسهم حرجا مما قضيت ويسلموا تسليما
But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.
Arabic
ولو أنا كتبنا عليهم أن اقتلوا أنفسكم أو اخرجوا من دياركم ما فعلوه إلا قليل منهم ۖ ولو أنهم فعلوا ما يوعظون به لكان خيرا لهم وأشد تثبيتا
And if We had decreed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your dwellings, but few of them would have done it; though if they did what they are exhorted to do it would be better for them, and more strengthening;
Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!
Lo! among you there is he who loitereth; and if disaster overtook you, he would say: Allah hath been gracious unto me since I was not present with them.
Arabic
ولئن أصابكم فضل من الله ليقولن كأن لم تكن بينكم وبينه مودة يا ليتني كنت معهم فأفوز فوزا عظيما
And if a bounty from Allah befell you, he would surely cry, as if there had been no love between you and him: Oh, would that I had been with them, then should I have achieved a great success!
Arabic
۞ فليقاتل في سبيل الله الذين يشرون الحياة الدنيا بالآخرة ۚ ومن يقاتل في سبيل الله فيقتل أو يغلب فسوف نؤتيه أجرا عظيما
Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.
Arabic
وما لكم لا تقاتلون في سبيل الله والمستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدان الذين يقولون ربنا أخرجنا من هذه القرية الظالم أهلها واجعل لنا من لدنك وليا واجعل لنا من لدنك نصيرا
How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and of the feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors! Oh, give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh, give us from Thy presence some defender!
Arabic
الذين آمنوا يقاتلون في سبيل الله ۖ والذين كفروا يقاتلون في سبيل الطاغوت فقاتلوا أولياء الشيطان ۖ إن كيد الشيطان كان ضعيفا
Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil's strategy is ever weak.
Arabic
ألم تر إلى الذين قيل لهم كفوا أيديكم وأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة فلما كتب عليهم القتال إذا فريق منهم يخشون الناس كخشية الله أو أشد خشية ۚ وقالوا ربنا لم كتبت علينا القتال لولا أخرتنا إلى أجل قريب ۗ قل متاع الدنيا قليل والآخرة خير لمن اتقى ولا تظلمون فتيلا
Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish worship and pay the poordue, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained fighting for us ? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged the down upon a date - stone.
Arabic
أينما تكونوا يدرككم الموت ولو كنتم في بروج مشيدة ۗ وإن تصبهم حسنة يقولوا هذه من عند الله ۖ وإن تصبهم سيئة يقولوا هذه من عندك ۚ قل كل من عند الله ۖ فمال هؤلاء القوم لا يكادون يفقهون حديثا
Wheresoever ye may be, death will overtake you, even though ye were in lofty towers. Yet if a happy thing befalleth them they say: This is from Allah; and if an evil thing befalleth them they say: This is of thy doing (O Muhammad). Say (unto them): All is from Allah. What is amiss with these people that they come not nigh to understand a happening ?
Arabic
ما أصابك من حسنة فمن الله ۖ وما أصابك من سيئة فمن نفسك ۚ وأرسلناك للناس رسولا ۚ وكفى بالله شهيدا
Whatever of good befalleth thee (O man) it is from Allah, and whatever of ill befalleth thee it is from thyself. We have sent thee (Muhammad) as a messenger unto mankind and Allah is sufficient as Witness.
Arabic
من يطع الرسول فقد أطاع الله ۖ ومن تولى فما أرسلناك عليهم حفيظا
And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou sayest. Allah recordeth what they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.
Arabic
أفلا يتدبرون القرآن ۚ ولو كان من عند غير الله لوجدوا فيه اختلافا كثيرا
Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an ? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.
Arabic
وإذا جاءهم أمر من الأمن أو الخوف أذاعوا به ۖ ولو ردوه إلى الرسول وإلى أولي الأمر منهم لعلمه الذين يستنبطونه منهم ۗ ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته لاتبعتم الشيطان إلا قليلا
And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto them, they noise it abroad, whereas if they had referred it to the messenger and to such of them as are in authority, those among them who are able to think out the matter would have known it. If it had not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy ye would have followed Satan, save a few (of you).
Arabic
فقاتل في سبيل الله لا تكلف إلا نفسك ۚ وحرض المؤمنين ۖ عسى الله أن يكف بأس الذين كفروا ۚ والله أشد بأسا وأشد تنكيلا
So fight (O Muhammad) in the way of Allah Thou art not taxed (with the responsibility for anyone) except thyself - and urge on the believers. Peradventure Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting punishment.
Arabic
من يشفع شفاعة حسنة يكن له نصيب منها ۖ ومن يشفع شفاعة سيئة يكن له كفل منها ۗ وكان الله على كل شيء مقيتا
Whoso interveneth in a good cause will have the reward thereof, and whoso interveneth in an evil cause will bear the consequence thereof. Allah overseeth all things.
Arabic
وإذا حييتم بتحية فحيوا بأحسن منها أو ردوها ۗ إن الله كان على كل شيء حسيبا
What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned ? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray ? He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road.
Arabic
ودوا لو تكفرون كما كفروا فتكونون سواء ۖ فلا تتخذوا منهم أولياء حتى يهاجروا في سبيل الله ۚ فإن تولوا فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث وجدتموهم ۖ ولا تتخذوا منهم وليا ولا نصيرا
They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,
Arabic
إلا الذين يصلون إلى قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثاق أو جاءوكم حصرت صدورهم أن يقاتلوكم أو يقاتلوا قومهم ۚ ولو شاء الله لسلطهم عليكم فلقاتلوكم ۚ فإن اعتزلوكم فلم يقاتلوكم وألقوا إليكم السلم فما جعل الله لكم عليهم سبيلا
Except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant, or (those who) come unto you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah alloweth you no way against them.
Arabic
ستجدون آخرين يريدون أن يأمنوكم ويأمنوا قومهم كل ما ردوا إلى الفتنة أركسوا فيها ۚ فإن لم يعتزلوكم ويلقوا إليكم السلم ويكفوا أيديهم فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث ثقفتموهم ۚ وأولئكم جعلنا لكم عليهم سلطانا مبينا
Ye will find others who desire that they should have security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.
Arabic
وما كان لمؤمن أن يقتل مؤمنا إلا خطأ ۚ ومن قتل مؤمنا خطأ فتحرير رقبة مؤمنة ودية مسلمة إلى أهله إلا أن يصدقوا ۚ فإن كان من قوم عدو لكم وهو مؤمن فتحرير رقبة مؤمنة ۖ وإن كان من قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثاق فدية مسلمة إلى أهله وتحرير رقبة مؤمنة ۖ فمن لم يجد فصيام شهرين متتابعين توبة من الله ۗ وكان الله عليما حكيما
It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the blood - money to the family of the slain, unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then the blood - money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.
Arabic
ومن يقتل مؤمنا متعمدا فجزاؤه جهنم خالدا فيها وغضب الله عليه ولعنه وأعد له عذابا عظيما
Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose, his reward is hell for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him an awful doom.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا ضربتم في سبيل الله فتبينوا ولا تقولوا لمن ألقى إليكم السلام لست مؤمنا تبتغون عرض الحياة الدنيا فعند الله مغانم كثيرة ۚ كذلك كنتم من قبل فمن الله عليكم فتبينوا ۚ إن الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا
O ye who believe! When ye go forth (to fight) in the way of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offereth you peace: "Thou art not a believer," seeking the chance profits of this life (so that ye may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils. Even thus (as he now is) were ye before; but Allah hath since then been gracious unto you. Therefore take care to discriminate. Allah is ever of what ye do.
Arabic
لا يستوي القاعدون من المؤمنين غير أولي الضرر والمجاهدون في سبيل الله بأموالهم وأنفسهم ۚ فضل الله المجاهدين بأموالهم وأنفسهم على القاعدين درجة ۚ وكلا وعد الله الحسنى ۚ وفضل الله المجاهدين على القاعدين أجرا عظيما
Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, are not on an equality with those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary. Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He hath bestowed on those who strive a great reward above the sedentary;
Degrees of rank from Him, and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
إن الذين توفاهم الملائكة ظالمي أنفسهم قالوا فيم كنتم ۖ قالوا كنا مستضعفين في الأرض ۚ قالوا ألم تكن أرض الله واسعة فتهاجروا فيها ۚ فأولئك مأواهم جهنم ۖ وساءت مصيرا
Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged ? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein ? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;
Arabic
إلا المستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدان لا يستطيعون حيلة ولا يهتدون سبيلا
As for such, it may be that Allah will pardon them. Allah is ever Clement, Forgiving.
Arabic
۞ ومن يهاجر في سبيل الله يجد في الأرض مراغما كثيرا وسعة ۚ ومن يخرج من بيته مهاجرا إلى الله ورسوله ثم يدركه الموت فقد وقع أجره على الله ۗ وكان الله غفورا رحيما
Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
وإذا ضربتم في الأرض فليس عليكم جناح أن تقصروا من الصلاة إن خفتم أن يفتنكم الذين كفروا ۚ إن الكافرين كانوا لكم عدوا مبينا
And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.
Arabic
وإذا كنت فيهم فأقمت لهم الصلاة فلتقم طائفة منهم معك وليأخذوا أسلحتهم فإذا سجدوا فليكونوا من ورائكم ولتأت طائفة أخرى لم يصلوا فليصلوا معك وليأخذوا حذرهم وأسلحتهم ۗ ود الذين كفروا لو تغفلون عن أسلحتكم وأمتعتكم فيميلون عليكم ميلة واحدة ۚ ولا جناح عليكم إن كان بكم أذى من مطر أو كنتم مرضى أن تضعوا أسلحتكم ۖ وخذوا حذركم ۗ إن الله أعد للكافرين عذابا مهينا
And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms. Those who disbelieve long for you to neglect your arms and your baggage that they may attack you once for all. It is no sin for you to lay aside your arms, if rain impedeth you or ye are sick. But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful punishment.
Arabic
فإذا قضيتم الصلاة فاذكروا الله قياما وقعودا وعلى جنوبكم ۚ فإذا اطمأننتم فأقيموا الصلاة ۚ إن الصلاة كانت على المؤمنين كتابا موقوتا
When ye have performed the act of worship, remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining. And when ye are in safety, observe proper worship. Worship at fixed times hath been enjoined on the believers.
Arabic
ولا تهنوا في ابتغاء القوم ۖ إن تكونوا تألمون فإنهم يألمون كما تألمون ۖ وترجون من الله ما لا يرجون ۗ وكان الله عليما حكيما
Relent not in pursuit of the enemy. If ye are suffering, lo! they suffer even as ye suffer and ye hope from Allah that for which they cannot hope. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
Arabic
إنا أنزلنا إليك الكتاب بالحق لتحكم بين الناس بما أراك الله ۚ ولا تكن للخائنين خصيما
Lo! We reveal unto thee the Scripture with the truth, that thou mayst judge between mankind by that which Allah showeth thee. And be not thou a pleader for the treacherous;
They seek to hide from men and seek not to hide from Allah. He is with them when by night they hold discourse displeasing unto Him. Allah ever surroundeth what they do.
Arabic
ها أنتم هؤلاء جادلتم عنهم في الحياة الدنيا فمن يجادل الله عنهم يوم القيامة أم من يكون عليهم وكيلا
Ho! ye are they who pleaded for them in the life of the world. But who will plead with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will then be their defender ?
Arabic
ومن يعمل سوءا أو يظلم نفسه ثم يستغفر الله يجد الله غفورا رحيما
And whoso committeth a delinquency or crime, then throweth (the blame) thereof upon the innocent, hath burdened himself with falsehood and a flagrant crime.
Arabic
ولولا فضل الله عليك ورحمته لهمت طائفة منهم أن يضلوك وما يضلون إلا أنفسهم ۖ وما يضرونك من شيء ۚ وأنزل الله عليك الكتاب والحكمة وعلمك ما لم تكن تعلم ۚ وكان فضل الله عليك عظيما
But for the grace of Allah upon thee (Muhammad), and His mercy, a party of them had resolved to mislead thee, but they will mislead only themselves and they will hurt thee not at all. Allah revealeth unto thee the Scripture and wisdom, and teacheth thee that which thou knewest not. The grace of Allah toward thee hath been infinite.
Arabic
۞ لا خير في كثير من نجواهم إلا من أمر بصدقة أو معروف أو إصلاح بين الناس ۚ ومن يفعل ذلك ابتغاء مرضات الله فسوف نؤتيه أجرا عظيما
There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) him who enjoineth almsgiving and kindness and peace - making among the people. Whoso doeth that, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall bestow on him a vast reward.
Arabic
ومن يشاقق الرسول من بعد ما تبين له الهدى ويتبع غير سبيل المؤمنين نوله ما تولى ونصله جهنم ۖ وساءت مصيرا
And whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell - a hapless journey's end!
Arabic
إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء ۚ ومن يشرك بالله فقد ضل ضلالا بعيدا
Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray.
Arabic
إن يدعون من دونه إلا إناثا وإن يدعون إلا شيطانا مريدا
And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle' ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a loser and his loss is manifest.
But as for those who believe and do good works We shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. It is a promise from Allah in truth; and who can be more truthful than Allah in utterance ?
Arabic
ليس بأمانيكم ولا أماني أهل الكتاب ۗ من يعمل سوءا يجز به ولا يجد له من دون الله وليا ولا نصيرا
It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor the desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the recompense thereof, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper.
Arabic
ومن يعمل من الصالحات من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فأولئك يدخلون الجنة ولا يظلمون نقيرا
And whoso doeth good works, whether of male or female, and he (or she) is a believer, such will enter paradise and they will not be wronged the dint in a date - stone.
Arabic
ومن أحسن دينا ممن أسلم وجهه لله وهو محسن واتبع ملة إبراهيم حنيفا ۗ واتخذ الله إبراهيم خليلا
Who is better in religion than he who surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good (to men) and followeth the tradition of Abraham, the upright ? Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.
Arabic
ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۚ وكان الله بكل شيء محيطا
Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Allah ever surroundeth all things.
Arabic
ويستفتونك في النساء ۖ قل الله يفتيكم فيهن وما يتلى عليكم في الكتاب في يتامى النساء اللاتي لا تؤتونهن ما كتب لهن وترغبون أن تنكحوهن والمستضعفين من الولدان وأن تقوموا لليتامى بالقسط ۚ وما تفعلوا من خير فإن الله كان به عليما
They consult thee concerning women. Say: Allah giveth you decree concerning them, and the Scripture which hath been recited unto you (giveth decree), concerning female orphans and those unto whom ye give not that which is ordained for them though ye desire to marry them, and (concerning) the weak among children, and that ye should deal justly with orphans. Whatever good ye do, lo! Allah is ever Aware of it.
Arabic
وإن امرأة خافت من بعلها نشوزا أو إعراضا فلا جناح عليهما أن يصلحا بينهما صلحا ۚ والصلح خير ۗ وأحضرت الأنفس الشح ۚ وإن تحسنوا وتتقوا فإن الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا
If a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the minds (of men). If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever of what ye do.
Arabic
ولن تستطيعوا أن تعدلوا بين النساء ولو حرصتم ۖ فلا تميلوا كل الميل فتذروها كالمعلقة ۚ وإن تصلحوا وتتقوا فإن الله كان غفورا رحيما
Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
وإن يتفرقا يغن الله كلا من سعته ۚ وكان الله واسعا حكيما
But if they separate, Allah will compensate each out of His abundance. Allah is ever All - Embracing, All - Knowing.
Arabic
ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۗ ولقد وصينا الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم وإياكم أن اتقوا الله ۚ وإن تكفروا فإن لله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۚ وكان الله غنيا حميدا
Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And We charged those who received the Scripture before you, and (We charge) you, that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And if ye disbelieve, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and Allah is ever Absolute, Owner of Praise.
Arabic
ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۚ وكفى بالله وكيلا
Whoso desireth the reward of the world, (let him know that) with Allah is the reward of the world and the Hereafter. Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.
Arabic
۞ يا أيها الذين آمنوا كونوا قوامين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على أنفسكم أو الوالدين والأقربين ۚ إن يكن غنيا أو فقيرا فالله أولى بهما ۖ فلا تتبعوا الهوى أن تعدلوا ۚ وإن تلووا أو تعرضوا فإن الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا
O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever of what ye do.
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا آمنوا بالله ورسوله والكتاب الذي نزل على رسوله والكتاب الذي أنزل من قبل ۚ ومن يكفر بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله واليوم الآخر فقد ضل ضلالا بعيدا
O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray.
Arabic
إن الذين آمنوا ثم كفروا ثم آمنوا ثم كفروا ثم ازدادوا كفرا لم يكن الله ليغفر لهم ولا ليهديهم سبيلا
Lo! those who believe, then disbelieve and then (again) believe, then disbelieve, and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never pardon them, nor will He guide them unto a way.
Those who chose disbelievers for their friends instead of believers! Do they look for power at their hands ? Lo! all power appertaineth to Allah.
Arabic
وقد نزل عليكم في الكتاب أن إذا سمعتم آيات الله يكفر بها ويستهزأ بها فلا تقعدوا معهم حتى يخوضوا في حديث غيره ۚ إنكم إذا مثلهم ۗ إن الله جامع المنافقين والكافرين في جهنم جميعا
He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell;
Arabic
الذين يتربصون بكم فإن كان لكم فتح من الله قالوا ألم نكن معكم وإن كان للكافرين نصيب قالوا ألم نستحوذ عليكم ونمنعكم من المؤمنين ۚ فالله يحكم بينكم يوم القيامة ۗ ولن يجعل الله للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيلا
Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you ? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers ? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.
Arabic
إن المنافقين يخادعون الله وهو خادعهم وإذا قاموا إلى الصلاة قاموا كسالى يراءون الناس ولا يذكرون الله إلا قليلا
Lo! the hypocrites seek to beguile Allah, but it is He Who beguileth them. When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen of men, and are mindful of Allah but little;
Arabic
مذبذبين بين ذلك لا إلى هؤلاء ولا إلى هؤلاء ۚ ومن يضلل الله فلن تجد له سبيلا
Swaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) wilt not find a way for him:
Arabic
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتخذوا الكافرين أولياء من دون المؤمنين ۚ أتريدون أن تجعلوا لله عليكم سلطانا مبينا
Save those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and make their religion pure for Allah (only). Those are with the believers. And Allah will bestow on the believers an immense reward.
Arabic
ما يفعل الله بعذابكم إن شكرتم وآمنتم ۚ وكان الله شاكرا عليما
Lo! those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and seek to make distinction between Allah and His messengers, and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and seek to choose a way in between;
Arabic
أولئك هم الكافرون حقا ۚ وأعتدنا للكافرين عذابا مهينا
But those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, unto them Allah will give their wages; and Allah was ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Arabic
يسألك أهل الكتاب أن تنزل عليهم كتابا من السماء ۚ فقد سألوا موسى أكبر من ذلك فقالوا أرنا الله جهرة فأخذتهم الصاعقة بظلمهم ۚ ثم اتخذوا العجل من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات فعفونا عن ذلك ۚ وآتينا موسى سلطانا مبينا
The people of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven. They asked a greater thing of Moses aforetime, for they said: Show us Allah plainly. The storm of lightning seized them for their wickedness. Then (even) after that) they chose the calf (for worship) after clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) had come unto them. And We forgave them that! And We bestowed on Moses evident authority.
Arabic
ورفعنا فوقهم الطور بميثاقهم وقلنا لهم ادخلوا الباب سجدا وقلنا لهم لا تعدوا في السبت وأخذنا منهم ميثاقا غليظا
And We caused the Mount to tower above them at (the taking of) their covenant: and We bade them: Enter the gate, prostrate! and We bode them: Transgress not the Sabbath! and We took from them a firm covenant.
Arabic
فبما نقضهم ميثاقهم وكفرهم بآيات الله وقتلهم الأنبياء بغير حق وقولهم قلوبنا غلف ۚ بل طبع الله عليها بكفرهم فلا يؤمنون إلا قليلا
Then because of their breaking of their covenant, and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and their slaying of the prophets wrongfully, and their saying: Our hearts are hardened - Nay, but Allah set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so that they believe not save a few -
And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny;
Arabic
وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم ۚ وإن الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ۚ ما لهم به من علم إلا اتباع الظن ۚ وما قتلوه يقينا
And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them -
Arabic
فبظلم من الذين هادوا حرمنا عليهم طيبات أحلت لهم وبصدهم عن سبيل الله كثيرا
Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews We forbade them good things which were (before) made lawful unto them, and because of their much hindering from Allah's way,
Arabic
وأخذهم الربا وقد نهوا عنه وأكلهم أموال الناس بالباطل ۚ وأعتدنا للكافرين منهم عذابا أليما
And of their taking usury when they were forbidden it, and of their devouring people's wealth by false pretences, We have prepared for those of them who disbelieve a painful doom.
Arabic
لكن الراسخون في العلم منهم والمؤمنون يؤمنون بما أنزل إليك وما أنزل من قبلك ۚ والمقيمين الصلاة ۚ والمؤتون الزكاة والمؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر أولئك سنؤتيهم أجرا عظيما
But those of them who are firm in knowledge and the believers believe in that which is revealed unto thee, and that which was revealed before thee, especially the diligent in prayer and those who pay the poor - due, the believers in Allah and the Last Day. Upon these We shall bestow immense reward.
Arabic
۞ إنا أوحينا إليك كما أوحينا إلى نوح والنبيين من بعده ۚ وأوحينا إلى إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحاق ويعقوب والأسباط وعيسى وأيوب ويونس وهارون وسليمان ۚ وآتينا داوود زبورا
Lo! We inspire thee as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as We imparted unto David the Psalms;
Arabic
ورسلا قد قصصناهم عليك من قبل ورسلا لم نقصصهم عليك ۚ وكلم الله موسى تكليما
But Allah (Himself) testifieth concerning that which He hath revealeth unto thee; in His knowledge hath He revealed it; and the angels also testify. And Allah is sufficient Witness.
Arabic
إن الذين كفروا وصدوا عن سبيل الله قد ضلوا ضلالا بعيدا
O mankind! The messenger hath come unto you with the Truth from your Lord. Therefor believe; (it is) better for you. But if ye disbelieve, still, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
Arabic
يا أهل الكتاب لا تغلوا في دينكم ولا تقولوا على الله إلا الحق ۚ إنما المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم وروح منه ۖ فآمنوا بالله ورسله ۖ ولا تقولوا ثلاثة ۚ انتهوا خيرا لكم ۚ إنما الله إله واحد ۖ سبحانه أن يكون له ولد ۘ له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۗ وكفى بالله وكيلا
O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
Arabic
لن يستنكف المسيح أن يكون عبدا لله ولا الملائكة المقربون ۚ ومن يستنكف عن عبادته ويستكبر فسيحشرهم إليه جميعا
The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah, nor will the favoured angels. Whoso scorneth His service and is proud, all such will He assemble unto Him;
Arabic
فأما الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات فيوفيهم أجورهم ويزيدهم من فضله ۖ وأما الذين استنكفوا واستكبروا فيعذبهم عذابا أليما ولا يجدون لهم من دون الله وليا ولا نصيرا
Then, as for those who believed and did good works, unto them will He pay their wages in full, adding unto them of His bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, them will He punish with a painful doom. And they will not find for them, against Allah, any protecting friend or helper.
Arabic
يا أيها الناس قد جاءكم برهان من ربكم وأنزلنا إليكم نورا مبينا
As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast unto Him, them He will cause to enter into His mercy and grace, and will guide them unto Him by a straight road.
Arabic
يستفتونك قل الله يفتيكم في الكلالة ۚ إن امرؤ هلك ليس له ولد وله أخت فلها نصف ما ترك ۚ وهو يرثها إن لم يكن لها ولد ۚ فإن كانتا اثنتين فلهما الثلثان مما ترك ۚ وإن كانوا إخوة رجالا ونساء فللذكر مثل حظ الأنثيين ۗ يبين الله لكم أن تضلوا ۗ والله بكل شيء عليم
They ask thee for a pronouncement. Say: Allah hath pronounced for you concerning distant kindred. If a man die childless and he have a sister, hers is half the heritage, and he would have inherited from her had she died childless. And if there be two sisters, then theirs are two - thirds of the heritage, and if they be brethren, men and women, unto the male is the equivalent of the share of two females. Allah expoundeth unto you, so that ye err not. Allah is Knower of all things.
