Surah Al-An'aam Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

6:121

وَ لَا تَاْكُلُوْا مِمَّا لَمْ یُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ وَ اِنَّهٗ لَفِسْقٌؕ-وَ اِنَّ الشَّیٰطِیْنَ لَیُوْحُوْنَ اِلٰۤى اَوْلِیٰٓـٕهِمْ لِیُجَادِلُوْكُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ اَطَعْتُمُوْهُمْ اِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُوْنَ۠(۱۲۱)

Do not eat of that over which God´s name has not been pronounced, for that would amount to exceeding the limits of law. Certainly the devils inspire their proteges to dispute with you: If you obey them, you will surely become an idolater.

And eat not of that over which God's Name has not been mentioned; it is ungodliness. The Satans inspire their friends to dispute with you; if you obey them, you are idolaters.

6:122

اَوَ مَنْ كَانَ مَیْتًا فَاَحْیَیْنٰهُ وَ جَعَلْنَا لَهٗ نُوْرًا یَّمْشِیْ بِهٖ فِی النَّاسِ كَمَنْ مَّثَلُهٗ فِی الظُّلُمٰتِ لَیْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِّنْهَاؕ-كَذٰلِكَ زُیِّنَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۲۲)

Can he who was lifeless, to whom We gave life, and gave him a light in whose glow he walks among men, be like him who is used to darkness from which he can never emerge? Thus have been their doings made attractive to unbelievers.

Why, is he who was dead, and We gave him life, and appointed for him a light to walk by among the people as one whose likeness is in the shadows, and comes not forth from them? So it is decked out fair to the unbelievers the things they have done.

6:123

وَ كَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا فِیْ كُلِّ قَرْیَةٍ اَكٰبِرَ مُجْرِمِیْهَا لِیَمْكُرُوْا فِیْهَاؕ-وَ مَا یَمْكُرُوْنَ اِلَّا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ مَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ(۱۲۳)

And thus have We placed in every city the greatest of the sinners to contrive and deceive; yet they contrive against no one but themselves even though they do not know.

And even so We appointed in every city great ones among its sinners, to devise there; but they devised only against themselves, and they were not aware.

6:124

وَ اِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ اٰیَةٌ قَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْمِنَ حَتّٰى نُؤْتٰى مِثْلَ مَاۤ اُوْتِیَ رُسُلُ اللّٰهِ ﲪ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ حَیْثُ یَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهٗؕ-سَیُصِیْبُ الَّذِیْنَ اَجْرَمُوْا صَغَارٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَ عَذَابٌ شَدِیْدٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَمْكُرُوْنَ(۱۲۴)

Every time a sign comes to them they say: "We shall never believe till what God´s apostles had been given comes to us." God knows best where to direct His messages. A degradation will befall the sinners and chastisement from God for deceiving.

And when a sign came to them, they said, 'We will not believe until we are given the like of what God's Messengers were given.' God knows very well where to place His Message; and humiliation in God's sight shall befall the sinners, and a terrible chastisement, for what they devised.

6:125

فَمَنْ یُّرِدِ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّهْدِیَهٗ یَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهٗ لِلْاِسْلَامِۚ-وَ مَنْ یُّرِدْ اَنْ یُّضِلَّهٗ یَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهٗ ضَیِّقًا حَرَجًا كَاَنَّمَا یَصَّعَّدُ فِی السَّمَآءِؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یَجْعَلُ اللّٰهُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۲۵)

Thus God guides whomsoever He please by opening wide his breast to surrender; and Straitens the breasts of those He allows to go astray, (who feel suffocated) as if they were ascending the skies. Thus will God punish those who do not believe.

Whomsoever God desires to guide, He expands his breast to Islam; whomsoever He desires to lead astray, He makes his breast narrow, tight, as if he were climbing to heaven. So God lays abomination upon those who believe not.

6:126

وَ هٰذَا صِرَاطُ رَبِّكَ مُسْتَقِیْمًاؕ-قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّذَّكَّرُوْنَ(۱۲۶)

This is the straight path of your Lord. Distinct have We made Our signs for those who reflect.

This is the path of thy Lord; straight; We have distinguished the signs to a people who remember.

6:127

لَهُمْ دَارُ السَّلٰمِ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَ هُوَ وَلِیُّهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۲۷)

For them is an abode of peace with their Lord. He will be their defender as reward for what they did.

Theirs is the abode of peace with their Lord, and He is their Protector for that they were doing.

6:128

وَ یَوْمَ یَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِیْعًاۚ-یٰمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُمْ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِۚ-وَ قَالَ اَوْلِیٰٓؤُهُمْ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَّ بَلَغْنَاۤ اَجَلَنَا الَّذِیْۤ اَجَّلْتَ لَنَاؕ-قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوٰىكُمْ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِیْمٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۱۲۸)

On the day He will gather them together, (He will say:) "O you assembly of jinns, you made great use of men." But their proteges among men will say: "O our Lord, we lived a life of mutual gain, but have now reached the term You ordained for us." "Your abode is Hell," He will say, "where you will dwell for ever, unless God please otherwise." Verily your Lord is wise and all-knowing.

On the day when He shall muster them all together: 'Company of jinn, you have made much of mankind.' Then their friends among mankind will say, 'Our Lord, we have profited each of the other, and we have reached the term determined by Thee for us. He will say: 'The Fire is your lodging, therein to dwell forever' - except as God will; surely thy Lord is All-wise, All-knowing.

6:129

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُوَلِّیْ بَعْضَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ بَعْضًۢا بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ۠(۱۲۹)

Thus do We place some sinners over others as requital for their deeds.

So We make the evildoers friends of each other for what they have earned.

6:130

یٰمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ اَلَمْ یَاْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ یَقُصُّوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتِیْ وَ یُنْذِرُوْنَكُمْ لِقَآءَ یَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاؕ-قَالُوْا شَهِدْنَا عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِنَا وَ غَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا وَ شَهِدُوْا عَلٰۤى اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا كٰفِرِیْنَ(۱۳۰)

O you assembly of jinns and men, did not apostles come to you from among you, communicating My signs to you, bringing warnings of this your day (of Doom)?" They will answer: "We bear witness to our sins." They were surely deluded by the life of the world, and bore witness against themselves because they were unbelievers.

'Company of jinn and mankind, did not Messengers come to you from among you, relating to you My signs and warning you of the encounter of this your day?' They shall say, 'We bear witness against ourselves.' They were deluded by the present life, and they bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.

6:131

ذٰلِكَ اَنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰى بِظُلْمٍ وَّ اَهْلُهَا غٰفِلُوْنَ(۱۳۱)

And this (so that it may be clear) that your Lord does not destroy towns and cities arbitrarily while the citizens remain unaware.

That is because thy Lord would never destroy the cities unjustly, while their inhabitants were heedless.

6:132

وَ لِكُلٍّ دَرَجٰتٌ مِّمَّا عَمِلُوْاؕ-وَ مَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۳۲)

Every one has his place according to his deeds, for your Lord is not negligent of what you do.

All have degrees according to what they have done; thy Lord is not heedless of the things they do.

6:133

وَ رَبُّكَ الْغَنِیُّ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِؕ-اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُذْهِبْكُمْ وَ یَسْتَخْلِفْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِكُمْ مَّا یَشَآءُ كَمَاۤ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُرِّیَّةِ قَوْمٍ اٰخَرِیْنَؕ(۱۳۳)

Your Lord is all-sufficient and full of benevolence. He can take you away if He please, and make whom He will succeed you, as He had raised you from the progeny of others.

Thy Lord is All-sufficient, Merciful. If He will, He can put you away, and leave after you, to succeed you, what He will, as He produced you from the seed of another people.

6:134

اِنَّ مَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ لَاٰتٍۙ-وَّ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ(۱۳۴)

The promise that was made to you is bound to be fulfilled. It is not in your power to defeat it.

The thing you are promised, that will surely come; you cannot frustrate it.

6:135

قُلْ یٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰى مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّیْ عَامِلٌۚ-فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ-مَنْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ عَاقِبَةُ الدَّارِؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ(۱۳۵)

Tell them: "O my people, go on acting on your part, I am acting on mine. You will soon know whose is the guerdon of life to come." The wicked will not succeed.

Say: 'O my people, act according to your station; I am acting. And assuredly you will know who shall possess the Abode Ultimate. Surely the evildoers will not prosper.'

6:136

وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ مِمَّا ذَرَاَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَ الْاَنْعَامِ نَصِیْبًا فَقَالُوْا هٰذَا لِلّٰهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَ هٰذَا لِشُرَكَآىٕنَاۚ-فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآىٕهِمْ فَلَا یَصِلُ اِلَى اللّٰهِۚ-وَ مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ فَهُوَ یَصِلُ اِلٰى شُرَكَآىٕهِمْؕ-سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ(۱۳۶)

They allocate a share from God´s own created fields and cattle to God, and they say: "This is God´s" -- or so they think -- "and that, of the compeers of God," so that what belongs to the compeers does not reach God, but that which is God´s may reach the compeers (set up by them). How bad is the judgement that they make!

They appoint to God, of the tillage and cattle that He multiplied, a portion, saying, 'This is for God' -- so they assert -- 'and this is for our associates.' So what is for their associates reaches not God; and what is for God reaches their associates. Evil is their judgment!

6:137

وَ كَذٰلِكَ زَیَّنَ لِكَثِیْرٍ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ قَتْلَ اَوْلَادِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ لِیُرْدُوْهُمْ وَ لِیَلْبِسُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ دِیْنَهُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَا فَعَلُوْهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَ مَا یَفْتَرُوْنَ(۱۳۷)

In the same way have their companions shown many unbelievers the killing of their children as desirable in order to ruin them and falsify their faith. If God had so willed they would never have done so. Leave them to their falsehoods.

Thus those associates of theirs have decked out fair to many idolaters to slay their children, to destroy them, and to confuse their religion for them. Had God willed, they would not have done so; so leave them to their forging.

6:138

وَ قَالُوْا هٰذِهٖۤ اَنْعَامٌ وَّ حَرْثٌ حِجْرٌ ﳓ لَّا یَطْعَمُهَاۤ اِلَّا مَنْ نَّشَآءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَ اَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُوْرُهَا وَ اَنْعَامٌ لَّا یَذْكُرُوْنَ اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَا افْتِرَآءً عَلَیْهِؕ-سَیَجْزِیْهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ(۱۳۸)

They also say: "These cattle and these crops are consecrated. None may eat of them other than those we permit," -- so they assert. "And the use of these cattle is forbidden for carrying burden." They do not pronounce the name of God on certain animals, inventing lies against Him. He will punish them for what they fabricate.

They say, 'These are cattle and tillage sacrosanct; none shall eat them, but whom we will'-- so they assert -- 'and cattle whose backs have been forbidden, and cattle over which they mention not the Name of God.' All that they say, forging against God; He will assuredly recompense them for what they were forging.

6:139

وَ قَالُوْا مَا فِیْ بُطُوْنِ هٰذِهِ الْاَنْعَامِ خَالِصَةٌ لِّذُكُوْرِنَا وَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلٰۤى اَزْوَاجِنَاۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّكُنْ مَّیْتَةً فَهُمْ فِیْهِ شُرَكَآءُؕ-سَیَجْزِیْهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْؕ-اِنَّهٗ حَكِیْمٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۱۳۹)

And they say: "Whatever is in the wombs of these cattle is only meant for men and forbidden our women; but in case it should be still-born both could eat it." God will punish them for what they assert. He is all-wise and all-knowing.

And they say, 'What is within the bellies of these cattle is reserved for our males and forbidden to our spouses; but if it be dead, then they all shall be partners in it.' He will assuredly recompense them for their describing; surely He is All-wise, All-knowing.

6:140

قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَتَلُـوْۤااَوْلَادَهُمْ سَفَهًۢا بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّ حَرَّمُوْا مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ افْتِرَآءً عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-قَدْ ضَلُّوْا وَ مَا كَانُوْا مُهْتَدِیْنَ۠(۱۴۰)

They will surely perish who kill their offspring in ignorance foolhardily, and forbid the food that God has given them by fabricating lies against God. Misguided are they surely, and will never come to guidance.

Losers are they who slay their children in folly, without knowledge, and have forbidden what God has provided them, forging against God; they have gone astray, and are not right-guided.

6:141

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْشَاَ جَنّٰتٍ مَّعْرُوْشٰتٍ وَّ غَیْرَ مَعْرُوْشٰتٍ وَّ النَّخْلَ وَ الزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفًا اُكُلُهٗ وَ الزَّیْتُوْنَ وَ الرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِهًا وَّ غَیْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍؕ-كُلُوْا مِنْ ثَمَرِهٖۤ اِذَاۤ اَثْمَرَ وَ اٰتُوْا حَقَّهٗ یَوْمَ حَصَادِهٖ ﳲ وَ لَا تُسْرِفُوْاؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَا یُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَۙ(۱۴۱)

It is He who grew the gardens, trellised and bowered, and palm trees and land sown with corn and many other seeds, and olives and pomegranates, alike and yet unlike. So eat of their fruit when they are in fruit, and give on the day of harvesting His due, and do not be extravagant, for God does not love those who are prodigal.

It is He who produces gardens trellised, and untrellised, palm-trees, and crops diverse in produce, olives, pomegranates, like each to each, and each unlike to each. Eat of their fruits when they fructify, and pay the due thereof on the day of its harvest; and be not prodigal; God loves not the prodigal.

6:142

وَ مِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ حَمُوْلَةً وَّ فَرْشًاؕ-كُلُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌۙ(۱۴۲)

He has created beasts of burden and cattle for slaughter. So eat of what God has given you for food, and do not walk in the footsteps of Satan who is surely your declared enemy.

And of the cattle, for burthen and for slaughter, eat of what God has provided you; and follow not the steps of Satan; he is a manifest foe to you.

6:143

ثَمٰنِیَةَ اَزْوَاجٍۚ-مِنَ الضَّاْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ اثْنَیْنِؕ-قُلْ ءٰٓالذَّكَرَیْنِ حَرَّمَ اَمِ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِ اَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَیْهِ اَرْحَامُ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِؕ- نَبِّـٴُـوْنِیْ بِعِلْمٍ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَۙ(۱۴۳)

There are eight pairs, two of the species of sheep and two of goats. Ask them which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in their wombs? Produce the sanction if you are truthful.

Eight couples: two of sheep, of goats two. Say: 'Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females? Or what the wombs of the two females contain? Tell me with knowledge, if you speak truly.'

6:144

وَ مِنَ الْاِبِلِ اثْنَیْنِ وَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَیْنِؕ-قُلْ ءٰٓالذَّكَرَیْنِ حَرَّمَ اَمِ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِ اَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَیْهِ اَرْحَامُ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِؕ-اَمْ كُنْتُمْ شُهَدَآءَ اِذْ وَصّٰىكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِهٰذَاۚ-فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا لِّیُضِلَّ النَّاسَ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۠(۱۴۴)

And there are two of camels and two of oxen. Ask them: "Which has He forbidden, the two males or the two females, or what the females carry in their wombs?" Were you present at the time God issued this command?" Who then could be more wicked than he who fabricates a lie and ascribes it to God to mislead men, without any knowledge? God does not guide the miscreants.

Of camels two, of oxen two. Say: 'Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females? Or what the wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when God charged you with this? Then who does greater evil than he who forges against God a lie, in order that he may lead mankind astray without any knowledge? Surely God guides not the people of the evildoers.'

6:145

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَجِدُ فِیْ مَاۤ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلٰى طَاعِمٍ یَّطْعَمُهٗۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ مَیْتَةً اَوْ دَمًا مَّسْفُوْحًا اَوْ لَحْمَ خِنْزِیْرٍ فَاِنَّهٗ رِجْسٌ اَوْ فِسْقًا اُهِلَّ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِ بِهٖۚ-فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَّ لَا عَادٍ فَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۱۴۵)

You tell them: "In all the commands revealed to me I find nothing which men have been forbidden to eat except carrion and running blood and flesh of the swine for it is unclean, or meat consecrated in the name of some other than God, which is profane. But if one is constrained to eat of these without craving or reverting to it, then surely your Lord is forgiving and kind."

Say: 'I do not find, in what is revealed to me, aught forbidden to him who eats thereof except it be carrion, or blood outpoured, or the flesh of swine -- that is an abomination -- or an ungodly thing that has been hallowed to other than God; yet whoso is constrained, not desiring nor transgressing, surely thy Lord is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.'

6:146

وَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِیْ ظُفُرٍۚ-وَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَ الْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ شُحُوْمَهُمَاۤ اِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُوْرُهُمَاۤ اَوِ الْحَوَایَاۤ اَوْ مَا اخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ جَزَیْنٰهُمْ بِبَغْیِهِمْ ﳲ وَ اِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ(۱۴۶)

We made unlawful for the Jews all animals with claws or nails, and the fat of the oxen and sheep, except that on their backs or their intestines, or which remains attached to their bones. This was the punishment for their insubordination; and what We say is true.

And to those of Jewry We have forbidden every beast with claws; and of oxen and sheep We have forbidden them the fat of them, save what their backs carry, or their entrails, or what is mingled with bone; that We recompensed them for their insolence; surely We speak truly.

6:147

فَاِنْ كَذَّبُوْكَ فَقُلْ رَّبُّكُمْ ذُوْ رَحْمَةٍ وَّاسِعَةٍۚ-وَ لَا یُرَدُّ بَاْسُهٗ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ(۱۴۷)

If they call you a liar, tell them infinite is the mercy of your Lord; but His vengeance will not be turned back from the sinners.

So, if they cry thee lies, say: 'Your Lord is of mercy all-embracing, and His might will never be turned back from the people of the sinners.'

6:148

سَیَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْا لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَاۤ اَشْرَكْنَا وَ لَاۤ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَ لَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ حَتّٰى ذَاقُوْا بَاْسَنَاؕ-قُلْ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِّنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوْهُ لَنَاؕ-اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا تَخْرُصُوْنَ(۱۴۸)

But the idolaters say: "If God had so willed we would not have associated (others with Him), nor would have our fathers, nor would we have forbidden any thing." So had others denied before them, and had to taste Our punishment in the end. Ask them: "Have you any knowledge? Then display it. You follow nothing but conjecture, and are nothing but liars."

The idolaters will say, 'Had God willed, we would not have been idolaters, neither our fathers, nor would we have forbidden aught.' Even so the people before them cried lies until they tasted Our might. Say: 'Have you any knowledge, for you to bring forth for us? You follow only surmise, merely conjecturing.'

6:149

قُلْ فَلِلّٰهِ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُۚ-فَلَوْ شَآءَ لَهَدٰىكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ(۱۴۹)

Say: "To God belongs the consummate argument. Had He willed He would surely have guided all of you aright."

Say: 'To God belongs the argument conclusive; for had He willed, He would have guided you all.'

6:150

قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَآءَكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ یَشْهَدُوْنَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ حَرَّمَ هٰذَاۚ-فَاِنْ شَهِدُوْا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْۚ-وَ لَا تَتَّبِـعْ اَهْوَآءَ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ وَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ یَعْدِلُوْنَ۠(۱۵۰)

Tell them: "Bring your witnesses to testify that God has forbidden this (and this)." Then even if they testify, you should not testify with them; and do not follow the wishes of those who deny Our signs and believe not in the Hereafter, and make others the equal of their Lord.

Say: 'Produce your witnesses, those who testify God has forbidden this.' Then if they testify, bear not witness with them; and do not thou follow the caprices of those who cried lies to Our signs, and who believe not in the world to come, and ascribe equals to their Lord.

6:151

قُلْ تَعَالَوْا اَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَیْكُمْ اَلَّا تُشْرِكُوْا بِهٖ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ بِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًاۚ-وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَوْلَادَكُمْ مِّنْ اِمْلَاقٍؕ-نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَ اِیَّاهُمْۚ-وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَۚ-وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِیْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ(۱۵۱)

Tell them: "Come, I will read out what your Lord has made binding on you: That you make none the equal of God, and be good to your parents, and do not abandon your children out of poverty, for We give you food and We shall provide for them; and avoid what is shameful, whether open or hidden, and do not take a life which God has forbidden, unless for some just cause. These things has God enjoined on you. Haply you may understand.

Say: 'Come, I will recite what your Lord has forbidden you: that you associate not anything with Him, and to be good to your parents, and not to slay your children because of poverty; We will provide you and them and that you approach not any indecency outward or inward, and that you slay not the soul God has forbidden, except by right. That then He has charged you with; haply you will understand.

6:152

وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوْا مَالَ الْیَتِیْمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِیْ هِیَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰى یَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّهٗۚ-وَ اَوْفُوا الْكَیْلَ وَ الْمِیْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِۚ-لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ-وَ اِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوْا وَ لَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۚ-وَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ اَوْفُوْاؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَۙ(۱۵۲)

Do not spend the belongings of the orphans but for their betterment, until they come of age; and give in full measure, and weigh justly on the balance. God does not burden a soul beyond capacity. When you say a thing, let it be just, even though the matter relate to a relative of yours, and fulfil a promise made to God. These are the things that He has enjoined that you may take heed.

And that you approach not the property of the orphan, save in the fairer manner, until he is of age. And fill up the measure and the balance with justice. We charge not any soul save to its capacity. And when you speak, be just, even if it should be to a near kinsman. And fulfil God's covenant. That then He has charged you with; haply you will remember.

6:153

وَ اَنَّ هٰذَا صِرَاطِیْ مُسْتَقِیْمًا فَاتَّبِعُوْهُۚ-وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ(۱۵۳)

(He has further commanded:) ´This is My straight path, so walk along it, and do not follow other ways, lest you should turn away from the right one.´ All this has He commanded. You may perhaps take heed for yourselves."

And that this is My path, straight; so do you follow it, and follow not divers paths lest they scatter you from His path. That then He has charged you with; haply you will be godfearing.'

6:154

ثُمَّ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ تَمَامًا عَلَى الَّذِیْۤ اَحْسَنَ وَ تَفْصِیْلًا لِّكُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُمْ بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ۠(۱۵۴)

To that end We gave the Book to Moses, a perfect law, distinctly explaining all things, and a guidance and grace, so that they should believe in the meeting with their Lord.

Then We gave Moses the Book, complete for him who does good, and distinguishing every thing, and as a guidance and a mercy; haply they would believe in the encounter with their Lord.

6:155

وَ هٰذَا كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ مُبٰرَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوْهُ وَ اتَّقُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَۙ(۱۵۵)

Blessed is this Book We have revealed; so follow it and preserve yourself from evil that you may qualify for grace,

This is a Book We have sent down, blessed; so follow it, and be godfearing; haply so you will find mercy;

6:156

اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ الْكِتٰبُ عَلٰى طَآىٕفَتَیْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا۪-وَ اِنْ كُنَّا عَنْ دِرَاسَتِهِمْ لَغٰفِلِیْنَۙ(۱۵۶)

Lest you say: "The Book that was sent before was meant only for two groups; we were not aware of their teachings;"

lest you should say, 'The Book was sent down only upon two parties before us, and we have indeed been heedless of their study';

6:157

اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْا لَوْ اَنَّاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا الْكِتٰبُ لَكُنَّاۤ اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمْۚ-فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَیِّنَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةٌۚ-فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ صَدَفَ عَنْهَاؕ-سَنَجْزِی الَّذِیْنَ یَصْدِفُوْنَ عَنْ اٰیٰتِنَا سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَصْدِفُوْنَ(۱۵۷)

Or that: "Had the Book been sent down to us we would surely have been guided better than they." So you have now received from your Lord a clear proof and a guidance and grace. Then who is more wicked than he who denies the signs of God and turns away from them? We shall punish those severely who turn away: A requital indeed for having turned aside.

or lest you say, 'If the Book had been sent down upon us, we had surely been more rightly guided than they.' Yet indeed a clear sign has come to you from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy; and who does greater evil than he who cries lies to God's signs, and turns away from them? We shall surely recompense those who turn away from Our signs with an evil chastisement for their turning away.

6:158

هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ اَوْ یَاْتِیَ رَبُّكَ اَوْ یَاْتِیَ بَعْضُ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّكَؕ-یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْ بَعْضُ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّكَ لَا یَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا اِیْمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ اٰمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ اَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِیْۤ اِیْمَانِهَا خَیْرًاؕ-قُلِ انْتَظِرُوْۤا اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ(۱۵۸)

What are the people waiting for? For the angels to come down, or your Lord to appear, or some signs from your Lord? The day when certain signs appear from your Lord, the embracing of faith shall not be of any avail to one who did not come to belief at first, or who did not perform good deeds by virtue of his faith. Tell them: "Wait on, we are waiting too (for the good and evil to become distinct)."

What, do they look for the angels to come to them, nothing less, or that thy Lord should come, or that one of thy Lord's signs should come? On the day that one of thy Lord's signs comes it shall not profit a soul to believe that never believed before, or earned some good in his belief. Say: 'Watch and wait; We too are waiting.'

6:159

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ فَرَّقُوْا دِیْنَهُمْ وَ كَانُوْا شِیَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِیْ شَیْءٍؕ-اِنَّمَاۤ اَمْرُهُمْ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ یُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْعَلُوْنَ(۱۵۹)

As for those who have created schisms in their order, and formed different sects, you have no concern with them. Their affair is with God. He will tell them the truth of what they were doing.

Those who have made divisions in their religion and become sects, thou art not of them in anything; their affair is unto God, then He will tell them what they have been doing.

6:160

مَنْ جَآءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ عَشْرُ اَمْثَالِهَاۚ-وَ مَنْ جَآءَ بِالسَّیِّئَةِ فَلَا یُجْزٰۤى اِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَ هُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ(۱۶۰)

He who does a good deed will receive ten times its worth; and he who does evil will be requited to an equal degree; and no one will be wronged.

Whoso brings a good deed shall have ten the like of it; and whoso brings an evil deed shall only be recompensed the like of it; they shall not be wronged.
