بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَوْفُوْا بِالْعُقُوْدِ۬ؕ-اُحِلَّتْ لَكُمْ بَهِیْمَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ اِلَّا مَا یُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ غَیْرَ مُحِلِّی الصَّیْدِ وَ اَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَحْكُمُ مَا یُرِیْدُ(۱)
O YOU WHO believe, fulfil your obligations. Made lawful (as food) for you are animals except those mentioned (here); but unlawful during Pilgrimage is game. God ordains whatsoever He wills.
O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations. Lawful unto you (for food) are all four-footed animals, with the exceptions named: But animals of the chase are forbidden while ye are in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb: for Allah doth command according to His will and plan.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُحِلُّوْا شَعَآىٕرَ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ لَا الْهَدْیَ وَ لَا الْقَلَآىٕدَ وَ لَاۤ ﰰ مِّیْنَ الْبَیْتَ الْحَرَامَ یَبْتَغُوْنَ فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَ رِضْوَانًاؕ-وَ اِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُوْاؕ-وَ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ اَنْ صَدُّوْكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اَنْ تَعْتَدُوْاۘ-وَ تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوٰى ۪-وَ لَا تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْاِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ۪- وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ(۲)
O you who believe, do not violate the (sanctity of) offerings to God, nor the rites of the holy month, nor sacrificial cattle with garlands (that are brought to the Ka´bah), nor of the people who flock to the Holy House seeking the bounties of their Lord, and His pleasure. Hunt when you have laid aside the robe of the pilgrim. And do not let your hatred of a people who had barred you from the Holy Mosque lead you to aggression. But help one another in goodness and piety, and do not assist in crime and rebellion, and fear God. Surely God is severe in punishment.
O ye who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the symbols of Allah, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the people resorting to the sacred house, seeking of the bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim garb, ye may hunt and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment.
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةُ وَ الدَّمُ وَ لَحْمُ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَ مَاۤ اُهِلَّ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِ بِهٖ وَ الْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَ الْمَوْقُوْذَةُ وَ الْمُتَرَدِّیَةُ وَ النَّطِیْحَةُ وَ مَاۤ اَكَلَ السَّبُعُ اِلَّا مَا ذَكَّیْتُمْ- وَ مَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَ اَنْ تَسْتَقْسِمُوْا بِالْاَزْلَامِؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ فِسْقٌؕ-اَلْیَوْمَ یَىٕسَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ دِیْنِكُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَ اخْشَوْنِؕ-اَلْیَوْمَ اَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِیْنَكُمْ وَ اَتْمَمْتُ عَلَیْكُمْ نِعْمَتِیْ وَ رَضِیْتُ لَكُمُ الْاِسْلَامَ دِیْنًاؕ-فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ فِیْ مَخْمَصَةٍ غَیْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لِّاِثْمٍۙ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۳)
Forbidden you is carrion and blood, and the flesh of the swine, and whatsoever has been killed in the name of some other than God, and whatever has been strangled, or killed by a blow or a fall, or by goring, or that which has been mauled by wild beasts unless slaughtered while still alive; and that which has been slaughtered at altars is forbidden, and also dividing the meat by casting lots with arrows. All this is sinful. Today the unbelievers have lost every hope of (despoiling) your creed; so do not fear them, fear Me. Today I have perfected your system of belief and bestowed My favours upon you in full, and have chosen submission (al-Islam) as the creed for you. If one of you is driven by hunger (to eat the forbidden) without the evil intent of sinning, then God is forgiving and kind.
Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ مَا ذَاۤ اُحِلَّ لَهُمْؕ-قُلْ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّیِّبٰتُۙ-وَ مَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِّنَ الْجَوَارِ حِ مُكَلِّبِیْنَ تُعَلِّمُوْنَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللّٰهُ٘-فَكُلُوْا مِمَّاۤ اَمْسَكْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ اذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ۪-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ(۴)
They ask you what is lawful for them. Say: "All things are lawful for you that are clean, and what the trained hunting animals take for you as you have trained then, in the light of God´s teachings, but read over them the name of God, and fear (straying from the path of) God, for God is swift in the reckoning."
They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you are (all) things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained hunting animals (to catch) in the manner directed to you by Allah: eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in taking account.
اَلْیَوْمَ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّیِّبٰتُؕ-وَ طَعَامُ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ۪-وَ طَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ٘-وَ الْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ وَ الْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اِذَاۤ اٰتَیْتُمُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِیْنَ غَیْرَ مُسٰفِحِیْنَ وَ لَا مُتَّخِذِیْۤ اَخْدَانٍؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِالْاِیْمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهٗ٘-وَ هُوَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ۠(۵)
On this day all things that are clean have been made lawful for you; and made lawful for you is the food of the people of the Book, as your food is made lawful for them. And lawful are the chaste Muslim women, and the women of the people of the Book who are chaste, (for marriage) and not fornication or liaison, if you give them their dowries. Useless shall be rendered the acts of those who turn back on their faith, and they will be among the losers in the life to come.
This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا قُمْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغْسِلُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَ اَیْدِیَكُمْ اِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَ امْسَحُوْا بِرُءُوْسِكُمْ وَ اَرْجُلَكُمْ اِلَى الْكَعْبَیْنِؕ-وَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوْاؕ-وَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰۤى اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَآءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنْكُمْ مِّنَ الْغَآىٕطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوْا مَآءً فَتَیَمَّمُوْا صَعِیْدًا طَیِّبًا فَامْسَحُوْا بِوُجُوْهِكُمْ وَ اَیْدِیْكُمْ مِّنْهُؕ-مَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ لِیَجْعَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَّ لٰكِنْ یُّرِیْدُ لِیُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَ لِیُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهٗ عَلَیْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۶)
O believers, when you stand up for the service of prayer wash your faces and hands up to elbows, and also wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of seminal pollution, then bathe and purify yourself well. But in case you are ill or are travelling, or you have satisfied the call of nature, or have slept with a woman, and you cannot find water, then take wholesome dust and pass it over your face and your hands, for God does not wish to impose any hardship on you. He wishes to purify you, and grace you with His favours in full so that you may be grateful.
O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favour to you, that ye may be grateful.
وَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ مِیْثَاقَهُ الَّذِیْ وَاثَقَكُمْ بِهٖۤۙ-اِذْ قُلْتُمْ سَمِعْنَا وَ اَطَعْنَا٘-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ(۷)
Remember the favours He bestowed on you, and the covenant He cemented with you, when you said: "We have heard and obey." Have fear of God, for He knows the secrets of your heart.
And call in remembrance the favour of Allah unto you, and His covenant, which He ratified with you, when ye said: "We hear and we obey": And fear Allah, for Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُوْنُوْا قَوّٰمِیْنَ لِلّٰهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِالْقِسْطِ٘-وَ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ عَلٰۤى اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوْاؕ-اِعْدِلُوْا- هُوَ اَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوٰى٘-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِیْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۸)
O you who believe, stand up as witnesses for God in all fairness, and do not let the hatred of a people deviate you from justice. Be just: This is closest to piety; and beware of God. Surely God is aware of all you do.
O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِۙ-لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ(۹)
God has made a promise of forgiveness and the highest reward to those who believe and perform good deeds.
To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ(۱۰)
But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations are the people of Hell.
Those who reject faith and deny our signs will be companions of Hell-fire.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ اَنْ یَّبْسُطُوْۤا اِلَیْكُمْ اَیْدِیَهُمْ فَكَفَّ اَیْدِیَهُمْ عَنْكُمْۚ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ۠(۱۱)
O believers, remember the favours God bestowed on you when a people raised their hands against you and He restrained their hands. So fear God; and the faithful should place their trust in God.
O ye who believe! Call in remembrance the favour of Allah unto you when certain men formed the design to stretch out their hands against you, but (Allah) held back their hands from you: so fear Allah. And on Allah let believers put (all) their trust.
وَ لَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَۚ-وَ بَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَیْ عَشَرَ نَقِیْبًاؕ-وَ قَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْؕ-لَىٕنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَیْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِیْ وَ عَزَّرْتُمُوْهُمْ وَ اَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَیِّاٰتِكُمْ وَ لَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۚ-فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِیْلِ(۱۲)
God covenanted the people of Israel and raised twelve leaders among them, and said: "I shall verily be with you. If you fulfil your devotional obligations, pay the zakat and believe in My apostles and support them, and give a goodly loan to God, I shall certainly absolve you of your evil, and admit you to gardens with streams of running water. But whosoever among you denies after this, will have wandered away from the right path."
Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّیْثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنّٰهُمْ وَ جَعَلْنَا قُلُوْبَهُمْ قٰسِیَةًۚ-یُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِهٖۙ-وَ نَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖۚ-وَ لَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰى خَآىٕنَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَ اصْفَحْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(۱۳)
When they dishonoured their pledge We condemned them, and hardened their hearts. So they distort the words of the Scripture out of context, and have forgotten some of what they were warned against. You will always hear of treachery on their part except that of a few. But forbear and forgive them, for God loves those who do good.
But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.
وَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰۤى اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ۪-فَاَغْرَیْنَا بَیْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَآءَ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-وَ سَوْفَ یُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَصْنَعُوْنَ(۱۴)
We had taken the pledge of those also who call themselves Christians. But they too forgot to take advantage of the warning they were given. So We have caused enmity and hatred among them to last till the Day of Resurrection, when God will inform them of what they were doing.
From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.
یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا یُبَیِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُوْنَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ یَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِیْرٍ ﱟ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ نُوْرٌ وَّ كِتٰبٌ مُّبِیْنٌۙ(۱۵)
O people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you, announcing many things of the Scriptures that you have suppressed, passing over some others. To you has come light and a clear Book from God
O people of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book, -
یَّهْدِیْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهٗ سُبُلَ السَّلٰمِ وَ یُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ بِاِذْنِهٖ وَ یَهْدِیْهِمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۱۶)
Through which God will lead those who follow His pleasure to the path of peace, and guide them out of darkness into light by His will, and to the path that is straight.
Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight.
لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْمَسِیْحُ ابْنُ مَرْیَمَؕ-قُلْ فَمَنْ یَّمْلِكُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْــٴًـا اِنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یُّهْلِكَ الْمَسِیْحَ ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ وَ اُمَّهٗ وَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَاؕ-یَخْلُقُ مَا یَشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۱۷)
Verily they are unbelievers who say: "The Messiah, son of Mary, is God." You ask them: "Who could prevail against God if He had chosen to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and the rest of mankind?" For God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lies between them. He creates what He please, for God has the power over all things.
In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."
وَ قَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ وَ النَّصٰرٰى نَحْنُ اَبْنٰٓؤُا اللّٰهِ وَ اَحِبَّآؤُهٗؕ-قُلْ فَلِمَ یُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوْبِكُمْؕ-بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَؕ-یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا٘-وَ اِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ(۱۸)
Say the Jews and the Christians: "We are sons of God and beloved of Him." Say: "Why does He punish you then for your sins? No: You are only mortals, of His creation." He can punish whom He please and pardon whom He will, for God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and everything will go back to Him.
(Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"
یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا یُبَیِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلٰى فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا مَا جَآءَنَا مِنْۢ بَشِیْرٍ وَّ لَا نَذِیْرٍ٘-فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَشِیْرٌ وَّ نَذِیْرٌؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۠(۱۹)
O you people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you when apostles had ceased to come long ago, lest you said: "There did not come to us any messenger of good news or of warnings." So now there has reached you a bearer of good tidings and of warnings; for God has the power over all things.
O People of the Book! Now hath come unto you, making (things) clear unto you, Our Messenger, after the break in (the series of) our messengers, lest ye should say: "There came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no warner (from evil)": But now hath come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a warner (from evil). And Allah hath power over all things.
وَ اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِهٖ یٰقَوْمِ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ جَعَلَ فِیْكُمْ اَنْۢبِیَآءَ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ مُّلُوْكًا ﳓ وَّ اٰتٰىكُمْ مَّا لَمْ یُؤْتِ اَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۲۰)
Remember when Moses said to his people: "O my people, remember the favours that God bestowed on you when He appointed apostles from among you, and made you kings and gave you what had never been given to any one in the world.
Remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Call in remembrance the favour of Allah unto you, when He produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other among the peoples.
یٰقَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْاَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِیْ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ وَ لَا تَرْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۤى اَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ(۲۱)
Enter then, my people, the Holy Land that God has ordained for you, and do not turn back, or you will suffer."
"O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin."
قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِنَّ فِیْهَا قَوْمًا جَبَّارِیْنَ ﳓ وَ اِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَا حَتّٰى یَخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَاۚ-فَاِنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَا فَاِنَّا دٰخِلُوْنَ(۲۲)
They said: "O Moses, in that land live a people who are formidable; we shall never go there until they leave. We shall enter when they go away."
They said: "O Moses! In this land are a people of exceeding strength: Never shall we enter it until they leave it: if (once) they leave, then shall we enter."
قَالَ رَجُلٰنِ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَخَافُوْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمَا ادْخُلُوْا عَلَیْهِمُ الْبَابَۚ-فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوْهُ فَاِنَّكُمْ غٰلِبُوْنَ ﳛ وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوْۤا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(۲۳)
Then two of the men who feared (God), and to whom God was gracious, said to them: "Charge and rush the gate. If you enter, you will surely be victorious. And place your trust in God if you truly believe."
(But) among (their) Allah-fearing men were two on whom Allah had bestowed His grace: They said: "Assault them at the (proper) Gate: when once ye are in, victory will be yours; But on Allah put your trust if ye have faith."
قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَاۤ اَبَدًا مَّا دَامُوْا فِیْهَا فَاذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَ رَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَاۤ اِنَّا هٰهُنَا قٰعِدُوْنَ(۲۴)
They said: "O Moses, we shall never, never enter so long as they are there. Go you and your Lord to fight them; we stay here."
They said: "O Moses! while they remain there, never shall we be able to enter, to the end of time. Go thou, and thy Lord, and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch)."
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ اِلَّا نَفْسِیْ وَ اَخِیْ فَافْرُقْ بَیْنَنَا وَ بَیْنَ الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ(۲۵)
Said (Moses): "O Lord, I have control over none but myself and my brother; so distinguish between us and these, the wicked people."
He said: "O my Lord! I have power only over myself and my brother: so separate us from this rebellious people!"
قَالَ فَاِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَیْهِمْ اَرْبَعِیْنَ سَنَةًۚ-یَتِیْهُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-فَلَا تَاْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠(۲۶)
(And God) said: "Then verily this land is forbidden them for forty years, and they shall wander perplexed over the earth. So do not grieve for these, the wicked people."
Allah said: "Therefore will the land be out of their reach for forty years: In distraction will they wander through the land: But sorrow thou not over these rebellious people.
وَ اتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ ابْنَیْ اٰدَمَ بِالْحَقِّۘ-اِذْ قَرَّبَا قُرْبَانًا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنْ اَحَدِهِمَا وَ لَمْ یُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الْاٰخَرِؕ-قَالَ لَاَقْتُلَنَّكَؕ-قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَتَقَبَّلُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۲۷)
Narrate to them exactly the tale of the two sons of Adam. When each of them offered a sacrifice (to God), that of one was accepted, and that of the other was not. Said (the one): "I will murder you," and the other replied: "God only accepts from those who are upright and preserve themselves from evil.
Recite to them the truth of the story of the two sons of Adam. Behold! they each presented a sacrifice (to Allah): It was accepted from one, but not from the other. Said the latter: "Be sure I will slay thee." "Surely," said the former, "Allah doth accept of the sacrifice of those who are righteous.
لَىٕنْۢ بَسَطْتَّ اِلَیَّ یَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِیْ مَاۤ اَنَا بِبَاسِطٍ یَّدِیَ اِلَیْكَ لِاَقْتُلَكَۚ-اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۲۸)
If you raise your hand to kill me, I will raise not mine to kill you, for I fear God, the Lord of all the worlds;
"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear Allah, the cherisher of the worlds.
اِنِّیْۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ تَبُوْٓءَاۡ بِاِثْمِیْ وَ اِثْمِكَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِۚ-وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا الظّٰلِمِیْنَۚ(۲۹)
I would rather you suffered the punishment for sinning against me, and for your own sin, and became an inmate of Hell. And that is the requital for the unjust."
"For me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as thine, for thou wilt be among the companions of the fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong."
فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهٗ نَفْسُهٗ قَتْلَ اَخِیْهِ فَقَتَلَهٗ فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ(۳۰)
Then the other was induced by his passion to murder his brother, and he killed him, and became one of the damned.
The (selfish) soul of the other led him to the murder of his brother: he murdered him, and became (himself) one of the lost ones.
فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ غُرَابًا یَّبْحَثُ فِی الْاَرْضِ لِیُرِیَهٗ كَیْفَ یُوَارِیْ سَوْءَةَ اَخِیْهِؕ-قَالَ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤى اَعَجَزْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِثْلَ هٰذَا الْغُرَابِ فَاُوَارِیَ سَوْءَةَ اَخِیْۚ-فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ النّٰدِمِیْنَ(۳۱)ﮊ
Then God sent a raven which scratched the ground in order to show him how to hide the nakedness of his brother. "Alas, the woe," said he, "that I could not be even like the raven and hide the nakedness of my brother," and was filled with remorse.
Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" said he; "Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" then he became full of regrets-
مِنْ اَجْلِ ذٰلِكَ ﳎ كَتَبْنَا عَلٰى بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اَنَّهٗ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًۢا بِغَیْرِ نَفْسٍ اَوْ فَسَادٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَكَاَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ مَنْ اَحْیَاهَا فَكَاَنَّمَاۤ اَحْیَا النَّاسَ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ٘-ثُمَّ اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فِی الْاَرْضِ لَمُسْرِفُوْنَ(۳۲)
That is why We decreed for the children of Israel that whosoever kills a human being, except (as punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption in the land, it shall be like killing all humanity; and whosoever saves a life, saves the entire human race. Our apostles brought clear proofs to them; but even after that most of them committed excesses in the land.
On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.
اِنَّمَا جَزٰٓؤُا الَّذِیْنَ یُحَارِبُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ یَسْعَوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَسَادًا اَنْ یُّقَتَّلُوْۤا اَوْ یُصَلَّبُوْۤا اَوْ تُقَطَّعَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ اَرْجُلُهُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ اَوْ یُنْفَوْا مِنَ الْاَرْضِؕ-ذٰلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْیٌ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌۙ(۳۳)
The punishment for those who wage war against God and His Prophet, and perpetrate disorders in the land, is to kill or hang them, or have a hand on one side and a foot on the other cut off, or banish them from the land. Such is their disgrace in the world, and in the Hereafter their doom shall be dreadful.
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَقْدِرُوْا عَلَیْهِمْۚ-فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠(۳۴)
But those who repent before they are subdued should know that God is forgiving and kind.
Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case, know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ ابْتَغُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ الْوَسِیْلَةَ وَ جَاهِدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ(۳۵)
O you who believe, follow the path shown to you by God, and seek the way of proximity to Him, and struggle in His way: you may have success.
O ye who believe! Do your duty to Allah, seek the means of approach unto Him, and strive with might and main in his cause: that ye may prosper.
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا وَّ مِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لِیَفْتَدُوْا بِهٖ مِنْ عَذَابِ یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنْهُمْۚ-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۳۶)
As for unbelievers, if they possess the riches of the whole earth, and two times more, and offer it as ransom for release from the torments of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and their punishment will surely be painful.
As to those who reject Faith,- if they had everything on earth, and twice repeated, to give as ransom for the penalty of the Day of Judgment, it would never be accepted of them, theirs would be a grievous penalty.
یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مَا هُمْ بِخٰرِجِیْنَ مِنْهَا٘-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ(۳۷)
They would like to escape from the Fire, but will never succeed, and their suffering will be constant
Their wish will be to get out of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their penalty will be one that endures.
وَ السَّارِقُ وَ السَّارِقَةُ فَاقْطَعُوْۤا اَیْدِیَهُمَا جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَالًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(۳۸)
As for the thief, whether man or woman, cut his hand as punishment from God for what he had done; and God is all mighty and all wise.
As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.
فَمَنْ تَابَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ظُلْمِهٖ وَ اَصْلَحَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَتُوْبُ عَلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۳۹)
But those who repent after a crime and reform, shall be forgiven by God, for God is forgiving and kind.
But if the thief repents after his crime, and amends his conduct, Allah turneth to him in forgiveness; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۴۰)
Do you not know that God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He will, and pardons whom He please, for God has the power over all things.
Knowest thou not that to Allah (alone) belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He punisheth whom He pleaseth, and He forgiveth whom He pleaseth: and Allah hath power over all things.
