286 Ayaat مدنیۃ
اِنَّ فِیْ خَلْقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ اخْتِلَافِ الَّیْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ الْفُلْكِ الَّتِیْ تَجْرِیْ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِمَا یَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنْ مَّآءٍ فَاَحْیَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَ بَثَّ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ ۪-وَّ تَصْرِیْفِ الرِّیٰحِ وَ السَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَیْنَ السَّمَآءِ وَ الْاَرْضِ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(۱۶۴)
Your God is one God; there is no god other than He, the compassionate, ever-merciful.
وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا یُّحِبُّوْنَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلّٰهِؕ-وَ لَوْ یَرَى الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْۤا اِذْ یَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَۙ-اَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلّٰهِ جَمِیْعًاۙ-وَّ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعَذَابِ (۱۶۵)
Creation of the heavens and the earth, alternation of night and day, and sailing of ships across the ocean with what is useful to man, and the rain that God sends from the sky enlivening the earth that was dead, and the scattering of beasts of all kinds upon it, and the changing of the winds, and the clouds which remain obedient between earth and sky, are surely signs for the wise.
اِذْ تَبَرَّاَ الَّذِیْنَ اتُّبِعُوْا مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْا وَ رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ وَ تَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْاَسْبَابُ(۱۶۶)
And yet there are men who take others as compeers of God, and bestow on them love due to God; but the love of the faithful for God is more intense. If only the wicked could see now the agony that they will behold (on the Day of Resurrection), they will know that to God belongs the power entirely´. And the punishment of God is severe.
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْا لَوْ اَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوْا مِنَّاؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُرِیْهِمُ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ حَسَرٰتٍ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-وَ مَا هُمْ بِخٰرِجِیْنَ مِنَ النَّارِ۠(۱۶۷)
When those who were followed will disclaim those who followed them, and see the torment all ties between them shall be severed,
یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوْا مِمَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا ﳲ وَّ لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ(۱۶۸)
And the followers will say: "Could we live but once again we would leave them as they have abandoned us now." God will show them thus their deeds, and fill them with remorse; but never shall they find release from the Fire. O men, eat only the things of the earth that are lawful and good. Do not walk in the footsteps of Satan, your acknowledged enemy.
وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوْا مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوْا بَلْ نَتَّبِـعُ مَاۤ اَلْفَیْنَا عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَنَاؕ-اَوَ لَوْ كَانَ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ(۱۷۰)
When it is said to them: "Follow what God has revealed," they reply: "No, we shall follow only what our fathers had practiced," -- even though their fathers had no wisdom or guidance!
وَ مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا كَمَثَلِ الَّذِیْ یَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا یَسْمَعُ اِلَّا دُعَآءً وَّ نِدَآءًؕ-صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْیٌ فَهُمْ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ(۱۷۱)
The semblance of the infidels is that of a man who shouts to one that cannot hear more than a call and a cry. They are deaf, dumb and blind, and they fail to understand.
اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَ مَاۤ اُهِلَّ بِهٖ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِۚ-فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَّ لَا عَادٍ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۱۷۳)
Forbidden to you are carrion and blood, and the flesh of the swine, and that which has been consecrated (or killed) in the name of any other than God. If one is obliged by necessity to eat it without intending to transgress, or reverting to it, he is not guilty of sin; for God is forgiving and kind.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْتُمُوْنَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ یَشْتَرُوْنَ بِهٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًاۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ مَا یَاْكُلُوْنَ فِیْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ اِلَّا النَّارَ وَ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَ لَا یُزَكِّیْهِمْۖ-ۚ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۱۷۴)
Those who conceal any part of the Scriptures that God has revealed, and thus make a little profit thereby, take nothing but fire as food; and God will not turn to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor nourish them for growth; and their doom will be painful.
لَیْسَ الْبِرَّ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ لٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ وَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ النَّبِیّٖنَۚ-وَ اٰتَى الْمَالَ عَلٰى حُبِّهٖ ذَوِی الْقُرْبٰى وَ الْیَتٰمٰى وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنَ وَ ابْنَ السَّبِیْلِۙ-وَ السَّآىٕلِیْنَ وَ فِی الرِّقَابِۚ-وَ اَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَى الزَّكٰوةَۚ-وَ الْمُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ اِذَا عٰهَدُوْاۚ-وَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ فِی الْبَاْسَآءِ وَ الضَّرَّآءِ وَ حِیْنَ الْبَاْسِؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْاؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ(۱۷۷)
Piety does not lie in turning your face to East or West: Piety lies in believing in God, the Last Day and the angels, the Scriptures and the prophets, and disbursing your wealth out of love for God among your kin and the orphans, the wayfarers and mendicants, freeing the slaves, observing your devotional obligations, and in paying the zakat and fulfilling a pledge you have given, and being patient in hardship, adversity, and times of peril. These are the men who affirm the truth, and they are those who follow the straight path.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُتِبَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِی الْقَتْلٰىؕ-اَلْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَ الْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَ الْاُنْثٰى بِالْاُنْثٰىؕ-فَمَنْ عُفِیَ لَهٗ مِنْ اَخِیْهِ شَیْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌۢ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ اَدَآءٌ اِلَیْهِ بِاِحْسَانٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ تَخْفِیْفٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةٌؕ-فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌۚ(۱۷۸)
O believers, ordained for you is retribution for the murdered, (whether) a free man (is guilty) of (the murder of) a free man, or a slave of a slave, or a woman of a woman. But he who is pardoned some of it by his brother should be dealt with equity, and recompense (for blood) paid with a grace. This is a concession from your Lord and a kindness. He who transgresses in spite of it shall suffer painful punishment.
كُتِبَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ اِنْ تَرَكَ خَیْرَاﰳ -ۖۚ - الْوَصِیَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَیْنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبِیْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ-ۚ--حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُتَّقِیْنَؕ(۱۸۰)
It is ordained that when any one of you nears death, and he owns goods and chattels, he should bequeath them equitably to his parents and next of kin. This is binding on those who are upright and fear God.
فَمَنْ خَافَ مِنْ مُّوْصٍ جَنَفًا اَوْ اِثْمًا فَاَصْلَحَ بَیْنَهُمْ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠(۱۸۲)
He who suspects wrong or partiality on the part of the testator and brings about a settlement, does not incure any guilt, for God is verily forgiving and merciful.
اَیَّامًا مَّعْدُوْدٰتٍؕ-فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَّرِیْضًا اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ اَیَّامٍ اُخَرَؕ-وَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ یُطِیْقُوْنَهٗ فِدْیَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِیْنٍؕ-فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَیْرًا فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّهٗؕ-وَ اَنْ تَصُوْمُوْا خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ(۱۸۴)
Fast a (fixed) number of days, but if someone is ill or is travelling (he should complete) the number of days (he had missed); and those who find it hard to fast should expiate by feeding a poor person. For the good they do with a little hardship is better for men. And if you fast it is good for you, if you knew.
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ فِیْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَ بَیِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدٰى وَ الْفُرْقَانِۚ-فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْیَصُمْهُؕ-وَ مَنْ كَانَ مَرِیْضًا اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ اَیَّامٍ اُخَرَؕ-یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ بِكُمُ الْیُسْرَ وَ لَا یُرِیْدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ٘-وَ لِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللّٰهَ عَلٰى مَا هَدٰىكُمْ وَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۱۸۵)
Ramadan is the month in which the Qur´an was revealed as guidance to man and clear proof of the guidance, and criterion (of falsehood and truth). So when you see the new moon you should fast the whole month; but a person who is ill or travelling (and fails to do so) should fast on other days, as God wishes ease and not hardship for you, so that you complete the (fixed) number (of fasts), and give glory to God for the guidance, and be grateful.
وَ اِذَا سَاَلَكَ عِبَادِیْ عَنِّیْ فَاِنِّیْ قَرِیْبٌؕ-اُجِیْبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ اِذَا دَعَانِۙ-فَلْیَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لِیْ وَ لْیُؤْمِنُوْا بِیْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْشُدُوْنَ(۱۸۶)
When My devotees enquire of you about Me, I am near, and answer the call of every supplicant when he calls. It behoves them to hearken to Me and believe in Me that they may follow the right path.
اُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَیْلَةَ الصِّیَامِ الرَّفَثُ اِلٰى نِسَآىٕكُمْؕ-هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّؕ-عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ اَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُوْنَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ عَفَا عَنْكُمْۚ-فَالْــٴٰـنَ بَاشِرُوْهُنَّ وَ ابْتَغُوْا مَا كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ۪-وَ كُلُوْا وَ اشْرَبُوْا حَتّٰى یَتَبَیَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَیْطُ الْاَبْیَضُ مِنَ الْخَیْطِ الْاَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ۪-ثُمَّ اَتِمُّوا الصِّیَامَ اِلَى الَّیْلِۚ-وَ لَا تُبَاشِرُوْهُنَّ وَ اَنْتُمْ عٰكِفُوْنَۙ-فِی الْمَسٰجِدِؕ-تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوْهَاؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ اٰیٰتِهٖ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ(۱۸۷)
You are allowed to sleep with your wives on the nights of the fast: They are your dress as you are theirs. God is aware you were cheating yourselves, so He turned to you and pardoned you. So now you may have intercourse with them, and seek what God has ordained for you. Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears clear from the dark line, then fast until the night falls; and abstain from your wives (when you have decided) to stay in the mosques for assiduous devotion. These are the bounds fixed by God, so keep well within them. So does God make His signs clear to men that they may take heed for themselves.
وَ لَا تَاْكُلُوْۤا اَمْوَالَكُمْ بَیْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَ تُدْلُوْا بِهَاۤ اِلَى الْحُكَّامِ لِتَاْكُلُوْا فَرِیْقًا مِّنْ اَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ بِالْاِثْمِ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۠(۱۸۸)
And do not consume each other´s wealth in vain, nor offer it to men in authority with intent of usurping unlawfully and knowingly a part of the wealth of others.
یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْاَهِلَّةِؕ-قُلْ هِیَ مَوَاقِیْتُ لِلنَّاسِ وَ الْحَجِّؕ-وَ لَیْسَ الْبِرُّ بِاَنْ تَاْتُوا الْبُیُوْتَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهَا وَ لٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقٰىۚ-وَ اْتُوا الْبُیُوْتَ مِنْ اَبْوَابِهَا۪-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ(۱۸۹)
They ask you of the new moons. Say: "These are periods set for men (to reckon) time, and for pilgrimage." Piety does not lie in entering the house through the back door, for the pious man is he who follows the straight path. Enter the house through the main gate, and obey God. You may haply find success.
وَ اقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَیْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوْهُمْ وَ اَخْرِجُوْهُمْ مِّنْ حَیْثُ اَخْرَجُوْكُمْ وَ الْفِتْنَةُ اَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِۚ-وَ لَا تُقٰتِلُوْهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتّٰى یُقٰتِلُوْكُمْ فِیْهِۚ-فَاِنْ قٰتَلُوْكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوْهُمْؕ-كَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۱۹۱)
And fight those (who fight you) wheresoever you find them, and expel them from the place they had turned you out from. Oppression is worse than killing. Do not fight them by the Holy Mosque unless they fight you there. If they do, then slay them: Such is the requital for unbelievers.
اَلشَّهْرُ الْحَرَامُ بِالشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ وَ الْحُرُمٰتُ قِصَاصٌؕ-فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى عَلَیْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوْا عَلَیْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدٰى عَلَیْكُمْ۪-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۱۹۴)
(Fighting during) the holy month (if the sanctity) of the holy month (is violated) is (just) retribution. So if you are oppressed, oppress those who oppress you to the same degree, and fear God, and know that God is with those who are pious and follow the right path.
وَ اَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَ الْعُمْرَةَ لِلّٰهِؕ-فَاِنْ اُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَیْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْیِۚ-وَ لَا تَحْلِقُوْا رُءُوْسَكُمْ حَتّٰى یَبْلُغَ الْهَدْیُ مَحِلَّهٗؕ-فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَّرِیْضًا اَوْ بِهٖۤ اَذًى مِّنْ رَّاْسِهٖ فَفِدْیَةٌ مِّنْ صِیَامٍ اَوْ صَدَقَةٍ اَوْ نُسُكٍۚ-فَاِذَاۤ اَمِنْتُمْٙ-فَمَنْ تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ اِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَیْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْیِۚ-فَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجِدْ فَصِیَامُ ثَلٰثَةِ اَیَّامٍ فِی الْحَجِّ وَ سَبْعَةٍ اِذَا رَجَعْتُمْؕ-تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌؕ-ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ اَهْلُهٗ حَاضِرِی الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِؕ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ۠(۱۹۶)
Perform the pilgrimage and holy visit (´Umra, to Makkah) in the service of God. But if you are prevented, send an offering which you can afford as sacrifice, and do not shave your heads until the offering has reached the place of sacrifice. But if you are sick or have ailment of the scalp (preventing the shaving of hair), then offer expiation by fasting or else giving alms or a sacrificial offering. When you have security, then those of you who wish to perform the holy visit along with the pilgrimage, should make a sacrifice according to their means. But he who has nothing, should fast for three days during the pilgrimage and seven on return, completing ten. This applies to him whose family does not live near the Holy Mosque. Have fear of God, and remember that God is severe in punishment.
اَلْحَجُّ اَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُوْمٰتٌۚ-فَمَنْ فَرَضَ فِیْهِنَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَ لَا فُسُوْقَۙ-وَ لَا جِدَالَ فِی الْحَجِّؕ-وَ مَا تَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَیْرٍ یَّعْلَمْهُ اللّٰهُ ﳳ-وَ تَزَوَّدُوْا فَاِنَّ خَیْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوٰى٘-وَ اتَّقُوْنِ یٰۤاُولِی الْاَلْبَابِ(۱۹۷)
Known are the months of pilgrimage. If one resolves to perform the pilgrimage in these months, let him not indulge in concupiscence, sin or quarrel. And the good you do shall be known to God. Provide for the journey, and the best of provisions is piety. O men of understanding, obey Me.
لَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَبْتَغُوْا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْؕ-فَاِذَاۤ اَفَضْتُمْ مِّنْ عَرَفٰتٍ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ عِنْدَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ۪-وَ اذْكُرُوْهُ كَمَا هَدٰىكُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ لَمِنَ الضَّآلِّیْنَ(۱۹۸)
It is no sin to seek the favours of your Lord (by trading). When you start from ´Arafat in a concourse, remember God at the monument that is sacred (al-Mash´ar al-haram), and remember Him as He has shown you the way, for in the olden days you we´re a people astray.
فَاِذَا قَضَیْتُمْ مَّنَاسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ اٰبَآءَكُمْ اَوْ اَشَدَّ ذِكْرًاؕ-فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّقُوْلُ رَبَّنَاۤ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ مَا لَهٗ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ(۲۰۰)
When you have finished the rites and ceremonies, remember God as you do your fathers, in fact with a greater devotion. There are some who say: "Give us, O Lord, in the world;" but they will forego their share in the life to come.
