5. Surah Al-Ma'idah The Feast

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَوْفُوا بِالْعُقُودِۜ اُحِلَّتْ لَكُمْ بَه۪يمَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ اِلَّا مَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْكُمْ غَيْرَ مُحِلِّي الصَّيْدِ وَاَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَحْكُمُ مَا يُر۪يدُ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooawfoo bilAAuqoodi ohillat lakum baheematu al-anAAamiilla ma yutla AAalaykum ghayra muhilleeassaydi waantum hurumun inna Allahayahkumu ma yureed

You who have iman! fulfil your contracts. All livestock animals are halal for you, except those that are recited to you now; but it is still not halal to hunt while you are in ihram. Allah makes whatever judgements He wills.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تُحِلُّوا شَعَٓائِرَ اللّٰهِ وَلَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَلَا الْهَدْيَ وَلَا الْقَلَٓائِدَ وَلَٓا آٰمّ۪ينَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلاً مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرِضْوَاناًۜ وَاِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُواۜ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ اَنْ صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اَنْ تَعْتَدُواۢ وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوٰىۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَد۪يدُ الْعِقَابِ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tuhilloo shaAAa-ira Allahi walaashshahra alharama wala alhadya walaalqala-ida wala ammeena albayta alharamayabtaghoona fadlan min rabbihim waridwananwa-itha halaltum fastadoo walayajrimannakum shanaanu qawmin an saddookum AAanialmasjidi alharami an taAAtadoo wataAAawanooAAala albirri wattaqwa wala taAAawanooAAala al-ithmi walAAudwani wattaqooAllaha inna Allaha shadeedu alAAiqab

You who have iman! do not profane the sacred rites of Allah or the sacred months, or the sacrificial animals, or the ritual garlands, or those heading for the Sacred House, desiring profit and good pleasure from their Lord. When you have come out of ihram, then hunt for game. Do not let hatred for a people who debar you from the Masjid al-Haram incite you into going beyond the limits. Help each other to goodness and taqwa. Do not help each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Have taqwa of Allah. Allah is severe in retribution.

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْز۪يرِ وَمَٓا اُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللّٰهِ بِه۪ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّط۪يحَةُ وَمَٓا اَكَلَ السَّبُعُ اِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَاَنْ تَسْتَقْسِمُوا بِالْاَزْلَامِۜ ذٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌۜ اَلْيَوْمَ يَـئِسَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ د۪ينِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْنِۜ اَلْيَوْمَ اَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ د۪ينَكُمْ وَاَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَت۪ي وَرَض۪يتُ لَكُمُ الْاِسْلَامَ د۪يناًۜ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ ف۪ي مَخْمَصَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِاِثْمٍۙ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Hurrimat AAalaykumu almaytatu waddamuwalahmu alkhinzeeri wama ohilla lighayri Allahibihi walmunkhaniqatu walmawqoothatu walmutaraddiyatuwannateehatu wama akala assabuAAuilla ma thakkaytum wama thubihaAAala annusubi waan tastaqsimoo bil-azlamithalikum fisqun alyawma ya-isa allatheena kafaroomin deenikum fala takhshawhum wakhshawni alyawmaakmaltu lakum deenakum waatmamtu AAalaykum niAAmatee waradeetulakumu al-islama deenan famani idturra fee makhmasatinghayra mutajanifin li-ithmin fa-inna Allahaghafoorun raheem

Haram for you are carrion, blood and pork, and what has been consecrated to other than Allah, and animals which have been strangled, and animals which have been killed by a blow, and animals which have fallen to their death, and animals which have been gored, and animals which wild beasts have eaten – except those you are able to slaughter properly – and animals which have been sacrificed on altars, and deciding things by means of divining arrows – that is deviance. Today the kuffar have despaired of overcoming your deen. So do not be afraid of them but be afraid of Me. Today I have perfected your deen for you and completed My blessing upon you and I am pleased with Islam as a deen for you. But if anyone is forced by hunger, not intending any wrongdoing, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَٓا اُحِلَّ لَهُمْۜ قُلْ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُۙ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّب۪ينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللّٰهُۘ فَكُلُوا مِمَّٓا اَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَر۪يعُ الْحِسَابِ

Yas-aloonaka matha ohilla lahumqul ohilla lakumu attayyibatu wamaAAallamtum mina aljawarihi mukallibeenatuAAallimoonahunna mimma AAallamakumu Allahufakuloo mimma amsakna AAalaykum wathkurooisma Allahi AAalayhi wattaqoo Allaha innaAllaha sareeAAu alhisab

They will ask you what is halal for them. Say: ‘All good things are halal for you, and also what is caught for you by hunting animals which you have trained as Allah has taught you. Eat what they catch for you, mentioning Allah’s name over it.’ And have taqwa of Allah. Allah is swift at reckoning.

اَلْيَوْمَ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُۜ وَطَعَامُ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْۖ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَهُمْۘ وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اِذَٓا اٰتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ اُجُورَهُنَّ مُحْصِن۪ينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِح۪ينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذ۪ٓي اَخْدَانٍۜ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالْا۪يمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۘ وَهُوَ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ۟

Alyawma ohilla lakumu attayyibatuwataAAamu allatheena ootoo alkitaba hillunlakum wataAAamukum hillun lahum walmuhsanatumina almu/minati walmuhsanatu minaallatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablikum itha ataytumoohunnaojoorahunna muhsineena ghayra musafiheenawala muttakhithee akhdanin waman yakfur bil-eemanifaqad habita AAamaluhu wahuwa fee al-akhiratimina alkhasireen

Today all good things have been made halal for you. And the food of those given the Book is also halal for you and your food is halal for them. So are free women from among the muminun and free women of those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as lovers. But as for anyone who rejects iman, his actions will come to nothing and in the Next World he will be among the losers.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِذَا قُمْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَاَيْدِيَكُمْ اِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُؤُ۫سِكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ اِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِۜ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُباً فَاطَّهَّرُواۜ وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضٰٓى اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَٓاءَ اَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْغَٓائِطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَٓاءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَٓاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَع۪يداً طَيِّباً فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَاَيْد۪يكُمْ مِنْهُۜ مَا يُر۪يدُ اللّٰهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ وَلٰكِنْ يُر۪يدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooitha qumtum ila assalati faghsiloowujoohakum waaydiyakum ila almarafiqi wamsahoobiruoosikum waarjulakum ila alkaAAbayni wa-in kuntumjunuban fattahharoo wa-in kuntum marda awAAala safarin aw jaa ahadun minkum mina algha-itiaw lamastumu annisaa falam tajidoo maanfatayammamoo saAAeedan tayyiban famsahoobiwujoohikum waaydeekum minhu ma yureedu AllahuliyajAAala AAalaykum min harajin walakin yureeduliyutahhirakum waliyutimma niAAmatahu AAalaykumlaAAallakum tashkuroon

You who have iman! when you get up to do salat, wash your faces and your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads, and wash your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of major impurity, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey, or have come from the lavatory, or have touched women, and cannot find any water, then do tayammum with pure earth, and wipe your faces and your hands. Allah does not want to make things difficult for you, but He does want to purify you and to perfect His blessing upon you so that hopefully you will be thankful.

وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَم۪يثَاقَهُ الَّذ۪ي وَاثَقَكُمْ بِه۪ٓۙ اِذْ قُلْتُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَاۘ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَل۪يمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Wathkuroo niAAmata AllahiAAalaykum wameethaqahu allathee wathaqakumbihi ith qultum samiAAna waataAAna wattaqooAllaha inna Allaha AAaleemun bithati assudoor

Remember Allah’s blessing to you and the covenant He made with you when you said, ‘We hear and we obey. ’ Have taqwa of Allah. Allah knows what the heart contains.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّام۪ينَ لِلّٰهِ شُهَدَٓاءَ بِالْقِسْطِۘ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ عَلٰٓى اَلَّا تَعْدِلُواۜ اِعْدِلُوا۠ هُوَ اَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوٰىۘ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَب۪يرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

You who have iman! show integrity for the sake of Allah, bearing witness with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into not being just. Be just. That is closer to taqwa. Have taqwa of Allah. Allah is aware of what you do.

وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِۙ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَاَجْرٌ عَظ۪يمٌ

WaAAada Allahu allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lahum maghfiratunwaajrun AAatheem

Allah has promised those who have iman and do right actions forgiveness and an immense reward.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ الْجَح۪يمِ

Wallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboobi-ayatina ola-ika as-habualjaheem

But those who are kafir and deny Our Signs, are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ اَنْ يَبْسُطُٓوا اِلَيْكُمْ اَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ اَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَۜ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ۟

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooothkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum ith hammaqawmun an yabsutoo ilaykum aydiyahum fakaffa aydiyahumAAankum wattaqoo Allaha waAAala Allahifalyatawakkali almu/minoon

You who have iman! remember Allah’s blessing to you when certain people were on the verge of raising their hands against you and He held their hands back from you. Have taqwa of Allah. The muminun should put their trust in Allah.

وَلَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ م۪يثَاقَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَۚ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَق۪يباًۜ وَقَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنّ۪ي مَعَكُمْۜ لَئِنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَيْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَاٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُل۪ي وَعَزَّرْتُمُوهُمْ وَاَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً لَاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَلَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَٓاءَ السَّب۪يلِ

Allah made a covenant with the tribe of Israel and We raised up twelve leaders from among them. Allah said, ‘I am with you. If you establish salat and pay zakat, and have iman in My Messengers and respect and support them, and make a generous loan to Allah, I will erase your wrong actions from you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing under them. Any of you who are kafir after that have gone astray from the right way.’

فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ م۪يثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةًۚ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِه۪ۙ وَنَسُوا حَظاًّ مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِه۪ۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰى خَٓائِنَةٍ مِنْهُمْ اِلَّا قَل۪يلاً مِنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ

But because of their breaking of their covenant, We have cursed them and made their hearts hard. They distort the true meaning of words and have forgotten a good portion of what they were reminded of. You will never cease to come upon some act of treachery on their part, except for a few of them. Yet pardon them, and overlook. Allah loves good-doers.

وَمِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا نَصَارٰٓى اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوا حَظاًّ مِمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِه۪ۖ فَاَغْرَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَٓاءَ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ وَسَوْفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ

We also made a covenant with those who say, ‘We are Christians,’ and they too forgot a good portion of what they were reminded of. So We stirred up enmity and hatred between them until the Day of Rising when Allah will inform them about what they did.

يَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَث۪يراً مِمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَعْفُوا عَنْ كَث۪يرٍۜ قَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُب۪ينٌۙ

People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making clear to you much of the Book that you have kept concealed, and passing over a lot. A Light has come to you from Allah and a Clear Book.

يَهْد۪ي بِهِ اللّٰهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَيُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ اِلَى النُّورِ بِاِذْنِه۪ وَيَهْد۪يهِمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَق۪يمٍ

Yahdee bihi Allahu mani ittabaAAa ridwanahusubula assalami wayukhrijuhum mina aththulumatiila annoori bi-ithnihi wayahdeehim ilasiratin mustaqeem

By it, Allah guides those who follow what pleases Him to the ways of Peace. He will bring them from the darkness to the light by His permission, and guide them to a straight path.

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُٓوا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْمَس۪يحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَۜ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـٔاً اِنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يُهْلِكَ الْمَس۪يحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَاُمَّهُ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ جَم۪يعاًۜ وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۜ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Those who say, ‘Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam,’ are kafir. Say: ‘Who possesses any power at all over Allah if He desires to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam, and his mother, and everyone else on earth?’ The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything between them belongs to Allah. He creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things.

وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارٰى نَحْنُ اَبْنَٓاءُ اللّٰهِ وَاَحِبَّٓاؤُ۬هُۜ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوبِكُمْۜ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَۜ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۘ وَاِلَيْهِ الْمَص۪يرُ

The Jews and Christians say, ‘We are Allah’s children and His loved ones. ’ Say: ‘Why, then, does He punish you for your wrong actions? No, you are merely human beings among those He has created. He forgives whoever He wills and He punishes whoever He wills. The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything between them belongs to Allah. He is our final destination.’

يَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلٰى فَتْرَةٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ اَنْ تَقُولُوا مَا جَٓاءَنَا مِنْ بَش۪يرٍ وَلَا نَذ۪يرٍۘ فَقَدْ جَٓاءَكُمْ بَش۪يرٌ وَنَذ۪يرٌۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ۟

People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making things clear to you, after a period with no Messengers, lest you should say, ‘No one came to us bringing good news or warning. ’ Someone has come to you bringing good news and a warning. Allah has power over all things.

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِه۪ يَا قَوْمِ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذْ جَعَلَ ف۪يكُمْ اَنْبِيَٓاءَ وَجَعَلَكُمْ مُلُوكاًۗ وَاٰتٰيكُمْ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتِ اَحَداً مِنَ الْعَالَم۪ينَ

Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi ya qawmi othkuroo niAAmata AllahiAAalaykum ith jaAAala feekum anbiyaa wajaAAalakummulookan waatakum ma lam yu/ti ahadanmina alAAalameen

Remember when Musa said to his people, ‘My people! remember Allah’s blessing to you when He appointed Prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds!

يَا قَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْاَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّت۪ي كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَدُّوا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوا خَاسِر۪ينَ

Ya qawmi odkhuloo al-ardaalmuqaddasata allatee kataba Allahu lakum walatartaddoo AAala adbarikum fatanqaliboo khasireen

‘My people! enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you Do not turn back in your tracks and so become transformed into losers. ’

قَالُوا يَا مُوسٰٓى اِنَّ ف۪يهَا قَوْماً جَبَّار۪ينَۗ وَاِنَّا لَنْ نَدْخُلَهَا حَتّٰى يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَاۚ فَاِنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فَاِنَّا دَاخِلُونَ

Qaloo ya moosa innafeeha qawman jabbareena wa-inna lannadkhulaha hatta yakhrujoo minhafa-in yakhrujoo minha fa-inna dakhiloon

They said, ‘There are tyrants in it, Musa. We will not enter it until they leave. If they leave it, then we will go in.’

قَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ يَخَافُونَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمَا ادْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَۚ فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَاِنَّكُمْ غَالِبُونَ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَتَوَكَّلُٓوا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Qala rajulani mina allatheenayakhafoona anAAama Allahu AAalayhimaodkhuloo AAalayhimu albaba fa-itha dakhaltumoohufa-innakum ghaliboona waAAala Allahifatawakkaloo in kuntum mu/mineen

Two men among those who were afraid, but whom Allah had blessed, said, ‘Enter the gate against them! Once you have entered it, you will be victorious. Put your trust in Allah if you are muminun.’

قَالُوا يَا مُوسٰٓى اِنَّا لَنْ نَدْخُلَـهَٓا اَبَداً مَا دَامُوا ف۪يهَا فَاذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَٓا اِنَّا هٰهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ

Qaloo ya moosa innalan nadkhulaha abadan ma damoo feehafa-ithhab anta warabbuka faqatila innahahuna qaAAidoon

They said, ‘We will never enter it, Musa, as long as they are there. So you and your Lord go and fight. We will stay sitting here.’

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنّ۪ي لَٓا اَمْلِكُ اِلَّا نَفْس۪ي وَاَخ۪ي فَافْرُقْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ

Qala rabbi innee la amliku illanafsee waakhee fafruq baynana wabayna alqawmi alfasiqeen

He said, ‘My Lord, I have no control over anyone but myself and my brother, so make a clear distinction between us and this deviant people. ’

قَالَ فَاِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ اَرْبَع۪ينَ سَنَةًۚ يَت۪يهُونَ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ۟

Qala fa-innaha muharramatunAAalayhim arbaAAeena sanatan yateehoona fee al-ardi falata/sa AAala alqawmi alfasiqeen

He said, ‘The land will be forbidden to them for forty years during which they will wander aimlessly about the earth. Do not waste grief on this deviant people.’

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ ابْنَيْ اٰدَمَ بِالْحَقِّۢ اِذْ قَرَّبَا قُرْبَاناً فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنْ اَحَدِهِمَا وَلَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الْاٰخَرِۜ قَالَ لَاَقْتُلَنَّكَۜ قَالَ اِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ

Recite to them the true report of Adam’s two sons when they offered a sacrifice and it was accepted from one of them but not accepted from the other. The one said, ‘I shall kill you.’ The other said, ‘Allah only accepts from people who have taqwa.

لَئِنْ بَسَطْتَ اِلَيَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَن۪ي مَٓا اَنَا۬ بِبَاسِطٍ يَدِيَ اِلَيْكَ لِاَقْتُلَكَۚ اِنّ۪ٓي اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ رَبَّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ

La-in basatta ilayya yadakalitaqtulanee ma ana bibasitin yadiyailayka li-aqtulaka innee akhafu Allaha rabba alAAalameen

Even if you do raise your hand against me to kill me, I am not going to raise my hand against you to kill you. Truly I fear Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

اِنّ۪ٓي اُر۪يدُ اَنْ تَبُٓوأَ بِاِثْم۪ي وَاِثْمِكَ فَتَكُونَ مِنْ اَصْحَابِ النَّارِۚ وَذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا الظَّالِم۪ينَۚ

Innee oreedu an taboo-a bi-ithmee wa-ithmikafatakoona min as-habi annari wathalikajazao aththalimeen

I want you to take on both my wrongdoing and your wrongdoing and so become one of the Companions of the Fire. That is the repayment of the wrongdoers.’

فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ قَتْلَ اَخ۪يهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخَاسِر۪ينَ

FatawwaAAat lahu nafsuhu qatlaakheehi faqatalahu faasbaha mina alkhasireen

So his lower self persuaded him to kill his brother, and he killed him and became one of the lost.

فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ غُرَاباً يَبْحَثُ فِي الْاَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُ كَيْفَ يُوَار۪ي سَوْاَةَ اَخ۪يهِۜ قَالَ يَا وَيْلَتٰٓى اَعَجَزْتُ اَنْ اَكُونَ مِثْلَ هٰذَا الْغُرَابِ فَاُوَارِيَ سَوْاَةَ اَخ۪يۚ فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ النَّادِم۪ينَۚۛ

Then Allah sent a crow which scratched at the earth to show him how to conceal his brother’s corpse. He said, ‘Woe is me! Can I not even be like this crow and conceal my brother’s corpse?’ And he became one of those who suffer bitter remorse

مِنْ اَجْلِ ذٰلِكَۚۛ كَتَبْنَا عَلٰى بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ اَنَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْساً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ اَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَكَاَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَم۪يـعاًۜ وَمَنْ اَحْيَاهَا فَكَاَنَّمَٓا اَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَم۪يعاًۜ وَلَقَدْ جَٓاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِۘ ثُمَّ اِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنْهُمْ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فِي الْاَرْضِ لَمُسْرِفُونَ

on account of that. So We decreed for the tribe of Israel that if someone kills another person – unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth – it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our Messengers came to them with Clear Signs but even after that many of them committed outrages in the earth.

اِنَّمَا جَزٰٓؤُا الَّذ۪ينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَسَاداً اَنْ يُقَتَّلُٓوا اَوْ يُصَلَّـبُٓوا اَوْ تُقَطَّعَ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَاَرْجُلُهُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ اَوْ يُنْفَوْا مِنَ الْاَرْضِۜ ذٰلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْيٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌۙ

The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land. That will be their degradation in this world and in the Next World they will have a terrible punishment,

اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ تَابُوا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْۚ فَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ۟

Illa allatheena taboomin qabli an taqdiroo AAalayhim faAAlamoo anna Allahaghafoorun raheem

except for those who make tawba before you gain power over them. Know that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَابْتَغُٓوا اِلَيْهِ الْوَس۪يلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِه۪ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooittaqoo Allaha wabtaghoo ilayhi alwaseelata wajahidoofee sabeelihi laAAallakum tuflihoon

You who have iman! have taqwa of Allah and seek the means of drawing near to Him, and do jihad in His Way, so that hopefully you will be successful.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ جَم۪يعاً وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لِيَفْتَدُوا بِه۪ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنْهُمْۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Inna allatheena kafaroo law annalahum ma fee al-ardi jameeAAan wamithlahu maAAahuliyaftadoo bihi min AAathabi yawmi alqiyamati matuqubbila minhum walahum AAathabun aleem

As for those who are kafir, if they had everything on the earth and the same again with it to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Rising, it would not be accepted from them. They will have a painful punishment.

يُر۪يدُونَ اَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا هُمْ بِخَارِج۪ينَ مِنْهَاۘ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُق۪يمٌ

Yureedoona an yakhrujoo mina annariwama hum bikharijeena minha walahum AAathabunmuqeem

They will want to get out of the Fire but they will not be able to. They will have an everlasting punishment.

وَالسَّارِقُ وَالسَّارِقَةُ فَاقْطَعُٓوا اَيْدِيَهُمَا جَزَٓاءً بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَالاً مِنَ اللّٰهِۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ

Wassariqu wassariqatufaqtaAAoo aydiyahuma jazaan bimakasaba nakalan mina Allahi wallahuAAazeezun hakeem

As for thieves, both male and female, cut off their hands in reprisal for what they have done: an object lesson from Allah. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

فَمَنْ تَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ظُلْمِه۪ وَاَصْلَحَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Faman taba min baAAdi thulmihiwaaslaha fa-inna Allaha yatoobu AAalayhiinna Allaha ghafoorun raheem

But if anyone makes tawba after his wrongdoing and puts things right, Allah will turn towards him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

Alam taAAlam anna Allaha lahu mulku assamawatiwal-ardi yuAAaththibu man yashaowayaghfiru liman yashao wallahu AAalakulli shay-in qadeer

Do you not know that the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs to Allah? He punishes whoever He wills and forgives whoever He wills. Allah has power over all things.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لَا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذ۪ينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّا بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْۚ وَمِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ هَادُوا سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمَّاعُونَ لِقَوْمٍ اٰخَر۪ينَۙ لَمْ يَأْتُوكَۜ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوَاضِعِه۪ۚ يَقُولُونَ اِنْ اُو۫ت۪يتُمْ هٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَاِنْ لَمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُواۜ وَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ فِتْنَتَهُ فَلَنْ تَمْلِكَ لَهُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـٔاًۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الَّذ۪ينَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمْۜ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظ۪يمٌ

O Messenger! do not be grieved by those who rush headlong into kufr among those who say ‘We have iman’ with their tongues when their hearts contain no iman and among the Jews. Those who listen to lies listen to other people who have not come to you, distorting words from their proper meanings, saying, ‘If you are given this, then take it. If you are not given it, then beware!’ If Allah desires misguidance for someone, you cannot help him against Allah in any way. Those are the people whose hearts Allah does not want to purify. They will have disgrace in this world and in the Next World they will have a terrible punishment.

سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ اَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِۜ فَاِنْ جَٓاؤُ۫كَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ اَوْ اَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْۚ وَاِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْـٔاًۜ وَاِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِط۪ينَ

They are people who listen to lies and consume ill-gotten gains. If they come to you, you can either judge between them or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you do judge, judge between them justly. Allah loves the just.

وَكَيْفَ يُحَكِّمُونَكَ وَعِنْدَهُمُ التَّوْرٰيةُ ف۪يهَا حُكْمُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَۜ وَمَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ بِالْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ۟

Wakayfa yuhakkimoonaka waAAindahumu attawratufeeha hukmu Allahi thumma yatawallawna minbaAAdi thalika wama ola-ika bilmu/mineen

How can they make you their judge when they have the Torah with them which contains the judgement of Allah? Then even after that they turn their backs! Such people are certainly not muminun.

اِنَّٓا اَنْزَلْنَا التَّوْرٰيةَ ف۪يهَا هُدًى وَنُورٌۚ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّونَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَسْلَمُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ هَادُوا وَالرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالْاَحْبَارُ بِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُوا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللّٰهِ وَكَانُوا عَلَيْهِ شُهَدَٓاءَۚ فَلَا تَخْشَوُا النَّاسَ وَاخْشَوْنِ وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِاٰيَات۪ي ثَمَناً قَل۪يلاًۜ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ

We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light, and the Prophets who had submitted themselves gave judgement by it for the Jews – as did their scholars and their rabbis – by what they had been allowed to preserve of Allah’s Book to which they were witnesses. Do not be afraid of people, be afraid of Me. And do not sell My Signs for a paltry price. Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are kafirun.

وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ف۪يهَٓا اَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِۙ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ وَالْاَنْفَ بِالْاَنْفِ وَالْاُذُنَ بِالْاُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّۙ وَالْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٌۜ فَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِه۪ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُۜ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

We prescribed for them in it: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and retaliation for wounds. But if anyone forgoes that as a sadaqa, it will act as expiation for him. Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are wrongdoers.

وَقَفَّيْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ بِع۪يسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرٰيةِۖ وَاٰتَيْنَاهُ الْاِنْج۪يلَ ف۪يهِ هُدًى وَنُورٌۙ وَمُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرٰيةِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةً لِلْمُتَّق۪ينَ

And We sent ‘Isa son of Maryam following in their footsteps, confirming the Torah that came before him. We gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light, confirming the Torah that came before it, and as guidance and admonition for those who have taqwa.

وَلْيَحْكُمْ اَهْلُ الْاِنْج۪يلِ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ ف۪يهِۜ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

Walyahkum ahlu al-injeeli bimaanzala Allahu feehi waman lam yahkum bimaanzala Allahu faola-ika humu alfasiqoon

The people of the Gospel should judge by what Allah sent down in it. Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are deviators.

وَاَنْزَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِناً عَلَيْهِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَٓاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّۜ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهَاجاًۜ وَلَوْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ اُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلٰكِنْ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ ف۪ي مَٓا اٰتٰيكُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِۜ اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَم۪يعاً فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ ف۪يهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَۙ

And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires deviating from the Truth that has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you. Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to Allah and He will inform you regarding the things about which you differed.

وَاَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِـعْ اَهْوَٓاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ اَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكَۜ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا يُر۪يدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُص۪يبَهُمْ بِبَعْضِ ذُنُوبِهِمْۜ وَاِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنَ النَّاسِ لَفَاسِقُونَ

Judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires. And beware of them lest they lure you away from some of what Allah has sent down to you. If they turn their backs, then know that Allah wants to afflict them with some of their wrong actions. Many of mankind are deviators.

اَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَۜ وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ حُكْماً لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ۟

Afahukma aljahiliyyatiyabghoona waman ahsanu mina Allahu hukmanliqawmin yooqinoon

Do they then seek the judgement of the Time of Ignorance? Who could be better at giving judgement than Allah for people with certainty?

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارٰٓى اَوْلِيَٓاءَۢ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءُ بَعْضٍۜ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَاِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

You who have iman! do not take the Jews and Christians as your friends; they are the friends of one another. Any of you who takes them as friends is one of them. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.

فَتَرَى الَّذ۪ينَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ يُسَارِعُونَ ف۪يهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشٰٓى اَنْ تُص۪يبَنَا دَٓائِرَةٌۜ فَعَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ اَوْ اَمْرٍ مِنْ عِنْدِه۪ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلٰى مَٓا اَسَرُّوا ف۪ٓي اَنْفُسِهِمْ نَادِم۪ينَۜ

Yet you see those with sickness in their hearts rushing to them, saying, ‘We fear the wheel of fate may turn against us. ’ But it may well be that Allah will bring about victory or some other contingency from Him. Then they will deeply regret their secret thoughts.

وَيَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اَهٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ الَّذ۪ينَ اَقْسَمُوا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْۙ اِنَّهُمْ لَمَعَكُمْۜ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فَاَصْبَحُوا خَاسِر۪ينَ

Wayaqoolu allatheena amanoo ahaola-iallatheena aqsamoo billahi jahda aymanihiminnahum lamaAAakum habitat aAAmaluhum faasbahookhasireen

Those who have iman say, ‘Are these the people who swore by Allah, with their most earnest oaths, that they were with you?’ Their actions have come to nothing and they now are losers.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا مَنْ يَرْتَدَّ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ د۪ينِه۪ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُٓ اَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ اَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِر۪ينَۘ يُجَاهِدُونَ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَٓائِمٍۜ ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤْت۪يهِ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَل۪يمٌ

You who have iman! if any of you renounce your deen, Allah will bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble to the muminun, fierce to the kafirun, who strive in the Way of Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills. Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing.

اِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا الَّذ۪ينَ يُق۪يمُونَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

Innama waliyyukumu Allahuwarasooluhu wallatheena amanoo allatheenayuqeemoona assalata wayu/toona azzakatawahum rakiAAoon

Your friend is only Allah and His Messenger and those who have iman: those who establish salat and pay zakat, and bow.

وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا فَاِنَّ حِزْبَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ۟

Waman yatawalla Allaha warasoolahu wallatheenaamanoo fa-inna hizba Allahi humu alghaliboon

As for those who make Allah their friend, and His Messenger and those who have iman: it is the party of Allah who are victorious!

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الَّذ۪ينَ اتَّخَذُوا د۪ينَكُمْ هُزُواً وَلَعِباً مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَالْكُفَّارَ اَوْلِيَٓاءَۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattakhithoo allatheena ittakhathoodeenakum huzuwan walaAAiban mina allatheena ootoo alkitabamin qablikum walkuffara awliyaa wattaqooAllaha in kuntum mu/mineen

You who have iman! do not take as friends any of those given the Book before you or the kuffar who make a mockery and a game out of your deen. Have taqwa of Allah if you are muminun.

وَاِذَا نَادَيْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ اتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُواً وَلَعِباًۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Wa-itha nadaytum ila assalatiittakhathooha huzuwan walaAAiban thalikabi-annahum qawmun la yaAAqiloon

When you call to salat they make a mockery and a game of it. That is because they are people who do not use their intellect.

قُلْ يَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ هَلْ تَنْقِمُونَ مِنَّٓا اِلَّٓا اَنْ اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْنَا وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلُۙ وَاَنَّ اَكْثَرَكُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Qul ya ahla alkitabi haltanqimoona minna illa an amanna billahiwama onzila ilayna wama onzila min qabluwaanna aktharakum fasiqoon

Say: ‘People of the Book! do you resent us for any other reason than that we have iman in Allah and what was sent down to us, and what was sent down before, and because most of you are deviators?’

قُلْ هَلْ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ اللّٰهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَاز۪يرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ شَرٌّ مَكَاناً وَاَضَلُّ عَنْ سَوَٓاءِ السَّب۪يلِ

Say: ‘Shall I tell you of a reward with Allah far worse than that: that of those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He is angry – turning some of them into monkeys and into pigs – and who worshipped false gods? Such people are in a worse situation and further from the right way. ’

وَاِذَا جَٓاؤُ۫كُمْ قَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّا وَقَدْ دَخَلُوا بِالْـكُفْرِ وَهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا بِه۪ۜ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْتُمُونَ

Wa-itha jaookum qaloo amannawaqad dakhaloo bilkufri wahum qad kharajoo bihi wallahuaAAlamu bima kanoo yaktumoon

When they come to you, they say, ‘We have iman. ’ But they entered with kufr and left with it. Allah knows best what they were hiding.

وَتَرٰى كَث۪يراً مِنْهُمْ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَۜ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Watara katheeran minhum yusariAAoonafee al-ithmi walAAudwani waaklihimu assuhtalabi/sa ma kanoo yaAAmaloon

You see many of them rushing to wrongdoing and enmity and acquiring ill-gotten gains. What an evil thing they do!

لَوْلَا يَنْهٰيهُمُ الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالْاَحْبَارُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِمُ الْاِثْمَ وَاَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَۜ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ

Lawla yanhahumu arrabbaniyyoonawal-ahbaru AAan qawlihimu al-ithmawaaklihimu assuhta labi/sa ma kanooyasnaAAoon

Why do their scholars and rabbis not prohibit them from evil speech and acquiring ill-gotten gains? What an evil thing they invent!

وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ يَدُ اللّٰهِ مَغْلُولَةٌۜ غُلَّتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَلُعِنُوا بِمَا قَالُواۢ بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِۙ يُنْفِقُ كَيْفَ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَلَيَز۪يدَنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنْهُمْ مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ طُغْيَاناً وَكُفْراًۜ وَاَلْقَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَٓاءَ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ كُلَّمَٓا اَوْقَدُوا نَاراً لِلْحَرْبِ اَطْفَاَهَا اللّٰهُۙ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَسَاداًۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِد۪ينَ

The Jews say, ‘Allah’s hand is chained. ’ Their hands are chained and they are cursed for what they say! No! Both His hands are open wide and He gives however He wills. What has been sent down to you from your Lord increases many of them in insolence and kufr. We have incited enmity and hatred between them until the Day of Rising. Each time they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it. They rush about the earth corrupting it. Allah does not love corrupters.

وَلَوْ اَنَّ اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ اٰمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَكَفَّرْنَا عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَلَاَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّع۪يمِ

Walaw anna ahla alkitabi amanoowattaqaw lakaffarna AAanhum sayyi-atihimwalaadkhalnahum jannati annaAAeem

If only the People of the Book had had iman and taqwa, We would have erased their evil deeds from them and admitted them into Gardens of Delight.

وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اَقَامُوا التَّوْرٰيةَ وَالْاِنْج۪يلَ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ لَاَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِهِمْۜ مِنْهُمْ اُمَّةٌ مُقْتَصِدَةٌۜ وَكَث۪يرٌ مِنْهُمْ سَٓاءَ مَا يَعْمَلُونَ۟

Walaw annahum aqamoo attawratawal-injeela wama onzila ilayhim min rabbihimlaakaloo min fawqihim wamin tahti arjulihim minhum ommatunmuqtasidatun wakatheerun minhum saa mayaAAmaloon

If only they had implemented the Torah and the Injil and what was sent down to them from their Lord, they would have been fed from above their heads and beneath their feet. Among them there is a moderate group but what most of them do is evil.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّـغْ مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَۜ وَاِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Ya ayyuha arrasooluballigh ma onzila ilayka min rabbika wa-in lam tafAAal famaballaghta risalatahu wallahu yaAAsimukamina annasi inna Allaha la yahdeealqawma alkafireen

O Messenger! transmit what has been sent down to you from your Lord. If you do not do it you will not have transmitted His Message. Allah will protect you from people. Allah does not guide the people of the kafirun.

قُلْ يَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَسْتُمْ عَلٰى شَيْءٍ حَتّٰى تُق۪يمُوا التَّوْرٰيةَ وَالْاِنْج۪يلَ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْۜ وَلَيَز۪يدَنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنْهُمْ مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ طُغْيَاناً وَكُفْراًۚ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِر۪ينَ

Say: ‘People of the Book! you have nothing to stand on until you implement the Torah and the Gospel and what has been sent down to you from your Lord. ’ What has been sent down to you from your Lord increases many of them in insolence and kufr. So do not waste your grief on the people of the kafirun.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَالَّذ۪ينَ هَادُوا وَالصَّابِـؤُ۫نَ وَالنَّصَارٰى مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Inna allatheena amanoo wallatheenahadoo wassabi-oona wannasaraman amana billahi walyawmi al-akhiriwaAAamila salihan fala khawfun AAalayhim walahum yahzanoon

Those who have iman and those who are Jews and the Sabaeans and the Christians, all who have iman in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly will feel no fear and will know no sorrow.

لَقَدْ اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ وَاَرْسَلْـنَٓا اِلَيْهِمْ رُسُلاًۜ كُلَّمَا جَٓاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰٓى اَنْفُسُهُمْۙ فَر۪يقاً كَذَّبُوا وَفَر۪يقاً يَقْتُلُونَ

Laqad akhathna meethaqabanee isra-eela waarsalna ilayhim rusulan kullamajaahum rasoolun bima la tahwaanfusuhum fareeqan kaththaboo wafareeqan yaqtuloon

We made a covenant with the tribe of Israel and We sent Messengers to them. Each time a Messenger came to them with something their lower selves did not desire, they denied some and they murdered others.

وَحَسِبُٓوا اَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ فَعَمُوا وَصَمُّوا ثُمَّ تَابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ عَمُوا وَصَمُّوا كَث۪يرٌ مِنْهُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ بَص۪يرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ

Wahasiboo alla takoonafitnatun faAAamoo wasammoo thumma taba AllahuAAalayhim thumma AAamoo wasammoo katheerun minhum wallahubaseerun bima yaAAmaloon

They thought there would be no fitna. They were blind and deaf. Then Allah turned towards them. Then many of them went blind and deaf again. Allah sees what they do.

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُٓوا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْمَس۪يحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَۜ وَقَالَ الْمَس۪يحُ يَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبّ۪ي وَرَبَّكُمْۜ اِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوٰيهُ النَّارُۜ وَمَا لِلظَّالِم۪ينَ مِنْ اَنْصَارٍ

Those who say that the Messiah, son of Maryam, is Allah are kafirun. The Messiah said, ‘Tribe of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. If anyone associates anything with Allah, Allah has forbidden him the Garden and his refuge will be the Fire.’ The wrongdoers will have no helpers.

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُٓوا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلٰثَةٍۢ وَمَا مِنْ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّٓا اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌۜ وَاِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

Laqad kafara allatheena qalooinna Allaha thalithu thalathatin wamamin ilahin illa ilahun wahidun wa-inlam yantahoo AAamma yaqooloona layamassanna allatheenakafaroo minhum AAathabun aleem

Those who say that Allah is the third of three are kafirun. There is no god but One God. If they do not stop saying what they say, a painful punishment will afflict those among them who are kafir.

اَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Afala yatooboona ila Allahiwayastaghfiroonahu wallahu ghafoorun raheem

Why do they not turn to Allah and ask for His forgiveness? Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

مَا الْمَس۪يحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اِلَّا رَسُولٌۚ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُۜ وَاُمُّهُ صِدّ۪يقَةٌۜ كَانَا يَأْكُلَانِ الطَّعَامَۜ اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الْاٰيَاتِ ثُمَّ انْظُرْ اَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُونَ

The Messiah, the son of Maryam, was only a Messenger, before whom other Messengers came and went. His mother was a woman of truth. Both of them ate food. See how We make the Signs clear to them! Then see how they are perverted!

قُلْ اَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَراًّ وَلَا نَفْعاًۜ وَاللّٰهُ هُوَ السَّم۪يعُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Qul ataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi mala yamliku lakum darran wala nafAAan wallahuhuwa assameeAAu alAAaleem

Say: ‘Do you worship, besides Allah, something which has no power to harm or help you when Allah is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing?’

قُلْ يَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا ف۪ي د۪ينِكُمْ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُٓوا اَهْوَٓاءَ قَوْمٍ قَدْ ضَلُّوا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَاَضَلُّوا كَث۪يراً وَضَلُّوا عَنْ سَوَٓاءِ السَّب۪يلِ۟

Qul ya ahla alkitabi lataghloo fee deenikum ghayra alhaqqi wala tattabiAAooahwaa qawmin qad dalloo min qablu waadallookatheeran wadalloo AAan sawa-i assabeel

Say: ‘People of the Book! do not go to extremes in your deen, asserting other than the truth, and do not follow the whims and desires of people who were misguided previously and have misguided many others, and are far from the right way. ’

لُعِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ عَلٰى لِسَانِ دَاوُ۫دَ وَع۪يسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَۜ ذٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ

LuAAina allatheena kafaroo min baneeisra-eela AAala lisani dawoodawaAAeesa ibni maryama thalika bima AAasawwakanoo yaAAtadoon

Those among the tribe of Israel who were kafir were cursed on the tongue of Dawud and that of ‘Isa, son of Maryam. That is because they rebelled and overstepped the limits.

كَانُوا لَا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُۜ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Kanoo la yatanahawnaAAan munkarin faAAaloohu labi/sa ma kanooyafAAaloon

They would not restrain one another from any of the wrong things that they did. How evil were the things they used to do!

تَرٰى كَث۪يراً مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۜ لَبِئْسَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لَهُمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ اَنْ سَخِطَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَفِي الْعَذَابِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ

Tara katheeran minhum yatawallawnaallatheena kafaroo labi/sa ma qaddamat lahumanfusuhum an sakhita Allahu AAalayhim wafee alAAathabihum khalidoon

You see many of them taking those who are kafir as their friends. What their lower selves have advanced for them is evil indeed, bringing Allah’s anger down upon them. They will suffer punishment timelessly, for ever.

وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَمَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ وَلٰكِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

Walaw kanoo yu/minoona billahiwannabiyyi wama onzila ilayhi ma ittakhathoohumawliyaa walakinna katheeran minhum fasiqoon

If they had had iman in Allah and the Prophet and what has been sent down to him, they would not have taken them as friends. But most of them are deviators.

لَتَجِدَنَّ اَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذ۪ينَ اَشْرَكُواۚ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ اَقْرَبَهُمْ مَوَدَّةً لِلَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا الَّذ۪ينَ قَالُٓوا اِنَّا نَصَارٰىۜ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسّ۪يس۪ينَ وَرُهْبَاناً وَاَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

You will find that the people most hostile to those who have iman are the Jews and the idolaters. You will find the people most affectionate to those who have iman are those who say, ‘We are Christians.’ That is because some of them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.

وَاِذَا سَمِعُوا مَٓا اُنْزِلَ اِلَى الرَّسُولِ تَرٰٓى اَعْيُنَهُمْ تَف۪يضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّۚ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَٓا اٰمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِد۪ينَ

Wa-itha samiAAoo ma onzila ilaarrasooli tara aAAyunahum tafeedu mina addamAAimimma AAarafoo mina alhaqqi yaqooloona rabbanaamanna faktubna maAAa ashshahideen

When they listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they recognise of the truth. They say, ‘Our Lord, we have iman! So write us down among the witnesses.

وَمَا لَنَا لَا نُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَا جَٓاءَنَا مِنَ الْحَقِّۙ وَنَطْمَعُ اَنْ يُدْخِلَنَا رَبُّنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الصَّالِح۪ينَ

Wama lana la nu/minu billahiwama jaana mina alhaqqi wanatmaAAuan yudkhilana rabbuna maAAa alqawmi assaliheen

How could we not have iman in Allah, and the truth that has come to us, when we long for our Lord to include us among the righteous?’

فَاَثَابَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا قَالُوا جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَاۜ وَذٰلِكَ جَزَٓاءُ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ

Faathabahumu Allahu bimaqaloo jannatin tajree min tahtihaal-anharu khalideena feeha wathalikajazao almuhsineen

Allah will reward them for what they say with Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the recompense of the good-doers.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَٓا اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ اَصْحَابُ الْجَح۪يمِ۟

Wallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboobi-ayatina ola-ika as-habualjaheem

As for those who are kafir and deny Our Signs, they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَٓا اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُواۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَد۪ينَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tuharrimoo tayyibati ma ahallaAllahu lakum wala taAAtadoo inna Allaha layuhibbu almuAAtadeen

You who have iman! do not make haram the good things Allah has made halal for you, and do not overstep the limits. Allah does not love people who overstep the limits.

وَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ حَلَالاً طَيِّباًۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْتُمْ بِه۪ مُؤْمِنُونَ

Wakuloo mimma razaqakumu Allahuhalalan tayyiban wattaqoo Allahaallathee antum bihi mu/minoon

Eat the halal and good things Allah has provided for you, and have taqwa of Allah, Him in Whom you have iman.

لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاللَّغْوِ ف۪ٓي اَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ يُؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُمُ الْاَيْمَانَۚ فَكَفَّارَتُهُٓ اِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاك۪ينَ مِنْ اَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ اَهْل۪يكُمْ اَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ اَوْ تَحْر۪يرُ رَقَبَةٍۜ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلٰثَةِ اَيَّامٍۜ ذٰلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ اَيْمَانِكُمْ اِذَا حَلَفْتُمْۜ وَاحْفَظُٓوا اَيْمَانَكُمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰيَاتِه۪ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Allah does not take you to task for your inadvertent oaths, but He will take you to task for oaths you make intentionally. The expiation in that case is to feed ten poor people with the average amount you feed your family, or clothe them, or free a slave. Anyone without the means to do so should fast three days. That is the expiation for breaking oaths when you have sworn them. Keep your oaths. In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be thankful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْاَنْصَابُ وَالْاَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooinnama alkhamru walmaysiru wal-ansabuwal-azlamu rijsun min AAamali ashshaytanifajtaniboohu laAAallakum tuflihoon

You who have iman! wine and gambling, stone altars and divining arrows are filth from the handiwork of Shaytan. Avoid them completely so that hopefully you will be successful.

اِنَّمَا يُر۪يدُ الشَّيْطَانُ اَنْ يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَٓاءَ فِي الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَعَنِ الصَّلٰوةِۚ فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ

Innama yureedu ashshaytanuan yooqiAAa baynakumu alAAadawata walbaghdaafee alkhamri walmaysiri wayasuddakum AAan thikriAllahi waAAani assalati fahal antummuntahoon

Shaytan wants to stir up enmity and hatred between you by means of wine and gambling, and to debar you from remembrance of Allah and from salat. Will you not then give them up?

وَاَط۪يعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَط۪يعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَاحْذَرُواۚ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّمَا عَلٰى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُب۪ينُ

WaateeAAoo Allaha waateeAAooarrasoola wahtharoo fa-in tawallaytum faAAlamooannama AAala rasoolina albalaghualmubeen

Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and beware! If you turn your backs, know that Our Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.

لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ ف۪يمَا طَعِمُٓوا اِذَا مَا اتَّقَوْا وَاٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ثُمَّ اتَّقَوْا وَاٰمَنُوا ثُمَّ اتَّقَوْا وَاَحْسَنُواۜ وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِن۪ينَ۟

Those who have iman and do right actions are not to blame for anything they have consumed provided they have taqwa and iman and do right actions, and then again have taqwa and iman, and then have taqwa and do good. Allah loves good-doers.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَيَبْلُوَنَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّيْدِ تَنَالُهُٓ اَيْد۪يكُمْ وَرِمَاحُكُمْ لِيَعْلَمَ اللّٰهُ مَنْ يَخَافُهُ بِالْغَيْبِۚ فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذَابٌ اَل۪يمٌ

You who have iman! Allah will test you with game animals which come within the reach of your hands and spears, so that Allah will know those who fear Him in the Unseen. Anyone who oversteps the limits after this will have a painful punishment.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَقْتُلُوا الصَّيْدَ وَاَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌۜ وَمَنْ قَتَلَهُ مِنْكُمْ مُتَعَمِّداً فَجَزَٓاءٌ مِثْلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ النَّعَمِ يَحْكُمُ بِه۪ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ هَدْياً بَالِغَ الْكَعْبَةِ اَوْ كَفَّارَةٌ طَعَامُ مَسَاك۪ينَ اَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَاماً لِيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ اَمْرِه۪ۜ عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَۜ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَيَنْتَقِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَز۪يزٌ ذُوانْتِقَامٍ

You who have iman! do not kill game while you are in ihram. If one of you kills any deliberately, the reprisal for it is a livestock animal equivalent to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you, a sacrifice to reach the Ka‘ba, or expiation by feeding the poor, or fasting commensurate with that, so that he may taste the evil consequences of what he did. Allah has pardoned all that took place in the past; but if anyone does it again Allah will take revenge on him. Allah is Almighty, Exactor of Revenge.

اُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَحْرِ وَطَعَامُهُ مَتَاعاً لَكُمْ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِۚ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُماًۜ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

Ohilla lakum saydu albahriwataAAamuhu mataAAan lakum walissayyaratiwahurrima AAalaykum saydu albarri ma dumtum hurumanwattaqoo Allaha allathee ilayhi tuhsharoon

Anything you catch in the sea is halal for you, and all food from it, for your enjoyment and that of travellers, but land game is haram for you while you are in ihram. So have taqwa of Allah, Him to whom you will be gathered.

جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ قِيَاماً لِلنَّاسِ وَالشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَالْهَدْيَ وَالْقَلَٓائِدَۜ ذٰلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

JaAAala Allahu alkaAAbata albayta alharamaqiyaman linnasi washshahra alharamawalhadya walqala-ida thalikalitaAAlamoo anna Allaha yaAAlamu ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi waanna Allaha bikullishay-in AAaleem

Allah has made the Ka‘ba, the Sacred House, a special institution for mankind, and also the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the ritual garlands. That is so you will know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and in the earth and that Allah has knowledge of all things.

اِعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَد۪يدُ الْعِقَابِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌۜ

IAAlamoo anna Allaha shadeedu alAAiqabiwaanna Allaha ghafoorun raheem

Know that Allah is fierce in retribution and that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

مَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ اِلَّا الْبَلَاغُۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ

Ma AAala arrasooli illaalbalaghu wallahu yaAAlamu matubdoona wama taktumoon

The Messenger is only responsible for transmission. Allah knows what you divulge and what you hide.

قُلْ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْخَب۪يثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ وَلَوْ اَعْجَبَكَ كَـثْرَةُ الْخَب۪يثِۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ يَٓا اُو۬لِي الْاَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ۟

Qul la yastawee alkhabeethu wattayyibuwalaw aAAjabaka kathratu alkhabeethi fattaqoo Allahaya olee al-albabi laAAallakum tuflihoon

Say: ‘Bad things and good things are not the same, even though the abundance of the bad things may seem attractive to you. ’ Have taqwa of Allah, people of intelligence, so that hopefully you will be successful.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَسْـَٔلُوا عَنْ اَشْيَٓاءَ اِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْۚ وَاِنْ تَسْـَٔلُوا عَنْهَا ح۪ينَ يُنَزَّلُ الْقُرْاٰنُ تُبْدَ لَكُمْۜ عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْهَاۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ حَل۪يمٌ

You who have iman! do not ask about matters which, if they were made known to you, would make things difficult for you. If you do ask about them when the Qur’an is being sent down, they will be made known to you. Allah has ignored them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, All-Forbearing.

قَدْ سَاَلَهَا قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ثُمَّ اَصْبَحُوا بِهَا كَافِر۪ينَ

Qad saalaha qawmun min qablikumthumma asbahoo biha kafireen

People before you asked about them and then later came to reject them.

مَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ بَح۪يرَةٍ وَلَا سَٓائِبَةٍ وَلَا وَص۪يلَةٍ وَلَا حَامٍۙ وَلٰكِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَۜ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Ma jaAAala Allahu min baheeratinwala sa-ibatin wala waseelatin walahamin walakinna allatheena kafarooyaftaroona AAala Allahi alkathibawaaktharuhum la yaAAqiloon

Allah did not institute any such thing as bahira or sa’iba or wasila or hami. Those who were kafir invented lies against Allah. Most of them do not use their intellect.

وَاِذَا ق۪يلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا اِلٰى مَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَاِلَى الرَّسُولِ قَالُوا حَسْبُنَا مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ اٰبَٓاءَنَاۜ اَوَلَوْ كَانَ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬هُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْـٔاً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ

Wa-itha qeela lahum taAAalawila ma anzala Allahu wa-ila arrasooliqaloo hasbuna ma wajadnaAAalayhi abaana awa law kana abaohumla yaAAlamoona shay-an wala yahtadoon

When they are told, ‘Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger,’ they say, ‘What we found our fathers doing is enough for us. ’ What! Even if their fathers did not know anything and were not guided!

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا عَلَيْكُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْۚ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ اِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْۜ اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَم۪يعاً فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooAAalaykum anfusakum la yadurrukum man dallaitha ihtadaytum ila Allahi marjiAAukumjameeAAan fayunabbi-okum bima kuntum taAAmaloon

You who have iman! you are only responsible for yourselves. The misguided cannot harm you as long as you are guided. All of you will return to Allah and He will inform you about what you were doing.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا شَهَادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ ح۪ينَ الْوَصِيَّةِ اثْنَانِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ اَوْ اٰخَرَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَاَصَابَتْكُمْ مُص۪يبَةُ الْمَوْتِۜ تَحْبِسُونَهُمَا مِنْ بَعْدِ الصَّلٰوةِ فَيُقْسِمَانِ بِاللّٰهِ اِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ لَا نَشْتَر۪ي بِه۪ ثَمَناً وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۙ وَلَا نَكْتُمُ شَهَادَةَ اللّٰهِ اِنَّٓا اِذاً لَمِنَ الْاٰثِم۪ينَ

You who have iman! when one of you is near to death and makes a will, two just men from among you should act as witnesses; or, if you are travelling when the misfortune of death occurs, two men who are strangers to you. You should detain them after salat and, if you are doubtful, they should swear by Allah: ‘We will not sell it for any price, even to a near relative, and we will not conceal the testimony of Allah. If we did we would indeed be wrongdoers.’

فَاِنْ عُثِرَ عَلٰٓى اَنَّهُمَا اسْتَحَقَّٓا اِثْماً فَاٰخَرَانِ يَقُومَانِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَوْلَيَانِ فَيُقْسِمَانِ بِاللّٰهِ لَشَهَادَتُـنَٓا اَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهَادَتِهِمَا وَمَا اعْتَدَيْنَاۘ اِنَّٓا اِذاً لَمِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

If it then comes to light that the two of them have merited the allegation of wrongdoing, two others who have the most right to do so should take their place and swear by Allah: ‘Our testimony is truer than their testimony. We have not committed perjury. If we had we would indeed be wrongdoers.’

ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰٓى اَنْ يَأْتُوا بِالشَّهَادَةِ عَلٰى وَجْهِهَٓا اَوْ يَخَافُٓوا اَنْ تُرَدَّ اَيْمَانٌ بَعْدَ اَيْمَانِهِمْۜ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاسْمَعُواۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ۟

Thalika adna an ya/too bishshahadatiAAala wajhiha aw yakhafoo an turadda aymanunbaAAda aymanihim wattaqoo Allaha wasmaAAoowallahu la yahdee alqawma alfasiqeen

That makes it more likely that they will give their evidence properly or be afraid that their oaths will be refuted by subsequent oaths. Have taqwa of Allah and listen carefully. Allah does not guide deviant people.

يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللّٰهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَٓا اُجِبْتُمْۜ قَالُوا لَا عِلْمَ لَنَاۜ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

Yawma yajmaAAu Allahu arrusulafayaqoolu matha ojibtum qaloo la AAilma lanainnaka anta AAallamu alghuyoob

On the day Allah gathers the Messengers together and says, ‘What response did you receive?’ they will say, ‘We do not know. You are the Knower of unseen things.’

اِذْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ يَا ع۪يسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَت۪ي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَتِكَۢ اِذْ اَيَّدْتُكَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلاًۚ وَاِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرٰيةَ وَالْاِنْج۪يلَۚ وَاِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطّ۪ينِ كَـهَيْـَٔةِ الطَّيْرِ بِاِذْن۪ي فَتَنْفُخُ ف۪يهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْراً بِاِذْن۪ي وَتُبْرِئُ الْاَكْمَهَ وَالْاَبْرَصَ بِاِذْن۪يۚ وَاِذْ تُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتٰى بِاِذْن۪يۚ وَاِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ عَنْكَ اِذْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Remember when Allah will say, ‘‘Isa, son of Maryam, remember My blessing to you and to your mother when I reinforced you with the Purest Ruh so that you could speak to people in the cradle and when you were fully grown; and when I taught you the Book and Wisdom, and the Torah and the Injil; and when you created a bird-shape out of clay by My permission, and then breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission; and healed the blind and the leper by My permission; and when you brought forth the dead by My permission; and when I held back the tribe of Israel from you, when you brought them the Clear Signs and those of them who were kafir said, "This is nothing but downright magic";

وَاِذْ اَوْحَيْتُ اِلَى الْحَوَارِيّ۪نَ اَنْ اٰمِنُوا ب۪ي وَبِرَسُول۪يۚ قَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّا وَاشْهَدْ بِاَنَّـنَا مُسْلِمُونَ

and when I inspired the Disciples to have iman in Me and in My Messenger, they said, "We have iman. Bear witness that we are Muslims."’

اِذْ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ يَا ع۪يسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ هَلْ يَسْتَط۪يعُ رَبُّكَ اَنْ يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا مَٓائِدَةً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِۜ قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Ith qala alhawariyyoonaya AAeesa ibna maryama hal yastateeAAurabbuka an yunazzila AAalayna ma-idatan mina assama-iqala ittaqoo Allaha in kuntum mu/mineen

And when the Disciples said, ‘‘Isa son of Maryam! Can your Lord send down a table to us out of heaven?’ He said, ‘Have taqwa of Allah if you are muminun!’

قَالُوا نُر۪يدُ اَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا وَتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُنَا وَنَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ صَدَقْتَنَا وَنَكُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الشَّاهِد۪ينَ

Qaloo nureedu an na/kula minhawatatma-inna quloobuna wanaAAlama an qad sadaqtanawanakoona AAalayha mina ashshahideen

They said, ‘We want to eat from it and for our hearts to be at peace and to know that you have told us the truth and to be among those who witness it. ’

قَالَ ع۪يسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَٓا اَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَٓائِدَةً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا ع۪يداً لِاَوَّلِنَا وَاٰخِرِنَا وَاٰيَةً مِنْكَۚ وَارْزُقْنَا وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِق۪ينَ

Qala AAeesa ibnu maryama allahummarabbana anzil AAalayna ma-idatan mina assama-itakoonu lana AAeedan li-awwalina waakhirinawaayatan minka warzuqna waanta khayru arraziqeen

‘Isa son of Maryam said, ‘Allah, our Lord, send down a table to us out of heaven to be a feast for us, for the first and last of us, and as a Sign from You. Provide for us! You are the Best of Providers!’

قَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنّ۪ي مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيْكُمْۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بَعْدُ مِنْكُمْ فَاِنّ۪ٓي اُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَاباً لَٓا اُعَذِّبُهُٓ اَحَداً مِنَ الْعَالَم۪ينَ۟

Qala Allahu innee munazziluhaAAalaykum faman yakfur baAAdu minkum fa-innee oAAaththibuhuAAathaban la oAAaththibuhu ahadanmina alAAalameen

Allah said, ‘I will send it down to you but if anyone among you is kafir after that, I will punish him with a punishment the like of which I will not inflict on anyone else in all the worlds!’

وَاِذْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ يَا ع۪يسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ ءَاَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُون۪ي وَاُمِّيَ اِلٰهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۜ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ ل۪ٓي اَنْ اَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ ل۪ي بِحَقٍّۜ اِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُۜ تَعْلَمُ مَا ف۪ي نَفْس۪ي وَلَٓا اَعْلَمُ مَا ف۪ي نَفْسِكَۜ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

And when Allah says, ‘‘Isa son of Maryam! Did you say to people, "Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah?"’ he will say, ‘Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right to say! If I had said it, then You would have known it. You know what is in my self but I do not know what is in Your Self. You are the Knower of all unseen things.

مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ اِلَّا مَٓا اَمَرْتَن۪ي بِه۪ٓ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبّ۪ي وَرَبَّكُمْۚ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَه۪يداً مَا دُمْتُ ف۪يهِمْۚ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَن۪ي كُنْتَ اَنْتَ الرَّق۪يبَ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَاَنْتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَه۪يدٌ

I said to them nothing but what You ordered me to say: "Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. " I was a witness against them as long as I remained among them, but when You took me back to You, You were the One watching over them. You are Witness of all things.

اِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَۚ وَاِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَاِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

If You punish them, they are Your slaves. If you forgive them, You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.’

قَالَ اللّٰهُ هٰذَا يَوْمُ يَنْفَعُ الصَّادِق۪ينَ صِدْقُهُمْۜ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَٓا اَبَداًۜ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُۜ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُ

Allah will say, ‘This is the Day when the sincerity of the sincere will benefit them. They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is the Great Victory.’

لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا ف۪يهِنَّۜ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يرٌ

The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in them belongs to Allah. He has power over all things.
