Surah Al-Maa'idah Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

5:81

وَ لَوْ كَانُوْا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ النَّبِیِّ وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوْهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءَ وَ لٰكِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ(۸۱)

If they had believed in God and the Prophet and what had been revealed to him, they would never have held them as allies; and many among them are transgressors.

If only they had believed in Allah, in the Prophet, and in what hath been revealed to him, never would they have taken them for friends and protectors, but most of them are rebellious wrong-doers.

5:82

لَتَجِدَنَّ اَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا الْیَهُوْدَ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْاۚ-وَ لَتَجِدَنَّ اَقْرَبَهُمْ مَّوَدَّةً لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰىؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّیْسِیْنَ وَ رُهْبَانًا وَّ اَنَّهُمْ لَا یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ(۸۲)

You will find the Jews and idolaters most excessive in hatred of those who believe; and the closest in love to the faithful are the people who say: "We are the followers of Christ," because there are priests and monks among them, and they are not arrogant.

Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.

5:83

وَ اِذَا سَمِعُوْا مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ تَرٰۤى اَعْیُنَهُمْ تَفِیْضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوْا مِنَ الْحَقِّۚ-یَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشّٰهِدِیْنَ(۸۳)

For when they listen to what has been revealed to this Apostle, you can see their eyes brim over with tears at the truth which they recognise, and say: "O Lord, we believe; put us down among those who bear witness (to the truth).

And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses.

5:84

وَ مَا لَنَا لَا نُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الْحَقِّۙ-وَ نَطْمَعُ اَنْ یُّدْخِلَنَا رَبُّنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۸۴)

And why should we not believe in God and what has come down to us of the truth? And we hope to be admitted by our Lord among those who are upright and do good?"

"What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Lord to admit us to the company of the righteous?"

5:85

فَاَثَابَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا قَالُوْا جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاؕ-وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(۸۵)

God will reward them for saying so with gardens where streams flow by, where they will live for ever. This is the recompense of those who do good.

And for this their prayer hath Allah rewarded them with gardens, with rivers flowing underneath,- their eternal home. Such is the recompense of those who do good.

5:86

وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ۠(۸۶)

But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations are residents of Hell.

But those who reject Faith and belie our Signs,- they shall be companions of Hell-fire.

5:87

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُحَرِّمُوْا طَیِّبٰتِ مَاۤ اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ وَ لَا تَعْتَدُوْاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِیْنَ(۸۷)

O believers, do not forbid the good things God has made lawful for you; and do not transgress. God does not love transgressors.

O ye who believe! make not unlawful the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, but commit no excess: for Allah loveth not those given to excess.

5:88

وَ كُلُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا۪-وَّ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْتُمْ بِهٖ مُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۸۸)

Eat what is lawful and good of the provisions God has bestowed on you, and fear God in whom you believe.

Eat of the things which Allah hath provided for you, lawful and good; but fear Allah, in Whom ye believe.

5:89

لَا یُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِیْۤ اَیْمَانِكُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ یُّؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُّمُ الْاَیْمَانَۚ-فَكَفَّارَتُهٗۤ اِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسٰكِیْنَ مِنْ اَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُوْنَ اَهْلِیْكُمْ اَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ اَوْ تَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍؕ-فَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجِدْ فَصِیَامُ ثَلٰثَةِ اَیَّامٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ اَیْمَانِكُمْ اِذَا حَلَفْتُمْؕ-وَ احْفَظُوْۤا اَیْمَانَكُمْؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۸۹)

God does not punish you but for what you swear in earnest. The expiation (for breaking an oath) is feeding ten persons who are poor, with food that you give your own families, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. But he who cannot do so should fast for three days. This is the expiation for an oath when you have sworn it. So abide by your oaths. Thus God makes His commandments clear to you: You may perhaps be grateful.

Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths, but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation, feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs, that ye may be grateful.

5:90

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَ الْمَیْسِرُ وَ الْاَنْصَابُ وَ الْاَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّیْطٰنِ فَاجْتَنِبُوْهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ(۹۰)

O believers, this wine and gambling, these idols, and these arrows you use for divination, are all acts of Satan; so keep away from them. You may haply prosper.

O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.

5:91

اِنَّمَا یُرِیْدُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَنْ یُّوْقِعَ بَیْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَآءَ فِی الْخَمْرِ وَ الْمَیْسِرِ وَ یَصُدَّكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَ عَنِ الصَّلٰوةِۚ-فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّنْتَهُوْنَ(۹۱)

Satan only wishes to create among you enmity and hatred through wine and gambling, and to divert you from the remembrance of God and prayer. Will you therefore not desist?

Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?

5:92

وَ اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اَطِیْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَ احْذَرُوْاۚ-فَاِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَا عَلٰى رَسُوْلِنَا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ(۹۲)

Obey God and the Prophet, and beware. If you turn away, remember, that the duty of Our Apostle is to give you a clear warning.

Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and beware (of evil): if ye do turn back, know ye that it is Our Messenger's duty to proclaim (the message) in the clearest manner.

5:93

لَیْسَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جُنَاحٌ فِیْمَا طَعِمُوْۤا اِذَا مَا اتَّقَوْا وَّ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ثُمَّ اتَّقَوْا وَّ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ اتَّقَوْا وَّ اَحْسَنُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ۠(۹۳)

Those who believe and perform good deeds will not be held guilty for what they have eaten (in the past) if they fear God and believe, and do good things and are conscious (of God) and believe, and still fear and do good, for God loves those who do good.

On those who believe and do deeds of righteousness there is no blame for what they ate (in the past), when they guard themselves from evil, and believe, and do deeds of righteousness,- (or) again, guard themselves from evil and believe,- (or) again, guard themselves from evil and do good. For Allah loveth those who do good.

5:94

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَیَبْلُوَنَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِشَیْءٍ مِّنَ الصَّیْدِ تَنَالُهٗۤ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَ رِمَاحُكُمْ لِیَعْلَمَ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّخَافُهٗ بِالْغَیْبِۚ-فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۹۴)

O you who believe, God will surely try you with the game that you take with your hands or your lances, in order to know who fear Him unseen. Whosoever transgress after this will suffer grievous punishment.

O ye who believe! Allah doth but make a trial of you in a little matter of game well within reach of game well within reach of your hands and your lances, that He may test who feareth him unseen: any who transgress thereafter, will have a grievous penalty.

5:95

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَقْتُلُوا الصَّیْدَ وَ اَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌؕ-وَ مَنْ قَتَلَهٗ مِنْكُمْ مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَآءٌ مِّثْلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ النَّعَمِ یَحْكُمُ بِهٖ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ هَدْیًۢا بٰلِغَ الْكَعْبَةِ اَوْ كَفَّارَةٌ طَعَامُ مَسٰكِیْنَ اَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِیَامًا لِّیَذُوْقَ وَ بَالَ اَمْرِهٖؕ-عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَؕ-وَ مَنْ عَادَ فَیَنْتَقِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ ذُو انْتِقَامٍ(۹۵)

O you who believe, do not kill game when you are on pilgrimage. And anyone among you who does so on purpose should offer livestock of equivalent value, determined by two honourable persons among you, (as atonement), to be brought to the Ka´bah as an offering; or else expiate by giving food to the poor, or its equivalent in fasting, so that he may realise the gravity of his deed. God has forgiven what has happened in the past; but any one who does so again will be punished by God. And God is severe in requital.

O ye who believe! Kill not game while in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb. If any of you doth so intentionally, the compensation is an offering, brought to the Ka'ba, of a domestic animal equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you; or by way of atonement, the feeding of the indigent; or its equivalent in fasts: that he may taste of the penalty of his deed. Allah forgives what is past: for repetition Allah will exact from him the penalty. For Allah is Exalted, and Lord of Retribution.

5:96

اُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَیْدُ الْبَحْرِ وَ طَعَامُهٗ مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَ لِلسَّیَّارَةِۚ-وَ حُرِّمَ عَلَیْكُمْ صَیْدُ الْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًاؕ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ(۹۶)

Lawful is all game of the water for you, and eating of it as food, so that you and the travellers may benefit by it. But unlawful is game of the jungle when you are on pilgrimage. Fear God before whom you have to gather in the end.

Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food,- for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel; but forbidden is the pursuit of land-game;- as long as ye are in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb. And fear Allah, to Whom ye shall be gathered back.

5:97

جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَیْتَ الْحَرَامَ قِیٰمًا لِّلنَّاسِ وَ الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ الْهَدْیَ وَ الْقَلَآىٕدَؕ-ذٰلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ(۹۷)

God has made the Ka´bah, the Sacred House, a means of support for mankind, as also the holy month, the sacrificial offerings, and consecrated cattle, so that you may understand that known to God is all that is in the heavens and the earth, and God has knowledge of everything.

Allah made the Ka'ba, the Sacred House, an asylum of security for men, as also the Sacred Months, the animals for offerings, and the garlands that mark them: That ye may know that Allah hath knowledge of what is in the heavens and on earth and that Allah is well acquainted with all things.

5:98

اِعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌؕ(۹۸)

Know that the punishment of God is severe, but that God is also forgiving and kind.

Know ye that Allah is strict in punishment and that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

5:99

مَا عَلَى الرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُوْنَ وَ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ(۹۹)

It is for the Prophet to convey the message: God knows what you reveal and what you hide.

The Messenger's duty is but to proclaim (the message). But Allah knoweth all that ye reveal and ye conceal.

5:100

قُلْ لَّا یَسْتَوِی الْخَبِیْثُ وَ الطَّیِّبُ وَ لَوْ اَعْجَبَكَ كَثْرَةُ الْخَبِیْثِۚ-فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ یٰۤاُولِی الْاَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ۠(۱۰۰)

Tell them: "The unclean and the pure are not equal, even though the abundance of the unclean may be pleasing to you." So fear God, O men of wisdom; you may haply find success.

Say: "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good, even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear Allah, O ye that understand; that (so) ye may prosper."

5:101

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَسْــٴَـلُوْا عَنْ اَشْیَآءَ اِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ تَسْــٴَـلُوْا عَنْهَا حِیْنَ یُنَزَّلُ الْقُرْاٰنُ تُبْدَ لَكُمْؕ-عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْهَاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِیْمٌ(۱۰۱)

O believers, do not ask about things which, if made known to you, may vex you. But if you ask about them when the Qur´an is being revealed they will be unfolded to you. God has overlooked (your failings) in this (respect), for God is forgiving and forbearing.

O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

5:102

قَدْ سَاَلَهَا قَوْمٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ثُمَّ اَصْبَحُوْا بِهَا كٰفِرِیْنَ(۱۰۲)

Such things were asked by a people before you, but they disbelieved them afterwards.

Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.

5:103

مَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْۢ بَحِیْرَةٍ وَّ لَا سَآىٕبَةٍ وَّ لَا وَصِیْلَةٍ وَّ لَا حَامٍۙ-وَّ لٰكِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَؕ-وَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ(۱۰۳)

God has not sanctioned Baheerah or Sa´ibah, Waseelah or Ham. The unbelievers fabricate lies of God, for many of them are devoid of sense.

It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a slit-ear she-camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from work: It is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah; but most of them lack wisdom.

5:104

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا اِلٰى مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ قَالُوْا حَسْبُنَا مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَنَاؕ-اَوَ لَوْ كَانَ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ(۱۰۴)

When you say to them: "Come to what God has revealed, and the Prophet," they say: "Sufficient to us is the faith that our fathers had followed," even though their fathers had no knowledge or guidance.

When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Messenger": They say: "Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." what! even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance?

5:105

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْۚ-لَا یَضُرُّكُمْ مَّنْ ضَلَّ اِذَا اهْتَدَیْتُمْؕ-اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِیْعًا فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۱۰۵)

O you who believe, on you rests (the responsibility) for your own selves. If you follow the right path those who have gone astray will not be able to do you harm. To God have all of you to return, when He will tell you what you were doing.

O ye who believe! Guard your own souls: If ye follow (right) guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who stray. the goal of you all is to Allah: it is He that will show you the truth of all that ye do.

5:106

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا شَهَادَةُ بَیْنِكُمْ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ حِیْنَ الْوَصِیَّةِ اثْنٰنِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ اَوْ اٰخَرٰنِ مِنْ غَیْرِكُمْ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَاَصَابَتْكُمْ مُّصِیْبَةُ الْمَوْتِؕ-تَحْبِسُوْنَهُمَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الصَّلٰوةِ فَیُقْسِمٰنِ بِاللّٰهِ اِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ لَا نَشْتَرِیْ بِهٖ ثَمَنًا وَّ لَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۙ-وَ لَا نَكْتُمُ شَهَادَةَۙ-اللّٰهِ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْاٰثِمِیْنَ(۱۰۶)

O you who believe, let two honest men among you be witness when you dictate your last will and testament as (the hour of) death draws near; and if death approaches while you are on a journey, two men other than yours. Detain them after the service of prayer, and if you doubt their word make them swear by God that: "We shall not take a bribe even though it be offered by a near relative, nor hide the testimony of God, for then we shall surely be sinful."

O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah: if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!"

5:107

فَاِنْ عُثِرَ عَلٰۤى اَنَّهُمَا اسْتَحَقَّاۤ اِثْمًا فَاٰخَرٰنِ یَقُوْمٰنِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَحَقَّ عَلَیْهِمُ الْاَوْلَیٰنِ فَیُقْسِمٰنِ بِاللّٰهِ لَشَهَادَتُنَاۤ اَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهَادَتِهِمَا وَ مَا اعْتَدَیْنَاۤ ﳲ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۱۰۷)

If it transpires they have concealed the truth, two of those who are immediately concerned should take their place and swear by God: "Our testimony is truer than theirs. We have stated no more (than the truth), or else we shall be unjust"

But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin (of perjury), let two others stand forth in their places,- nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right: let them swear by Allah: "We affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that we have not trespassed (beyond the truth): if we did, behold! the wrong be upon us!"

5:108

ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰۤى اَنْ یَّاْتُوْا بِالشَّهَادَةِ عَلٰى وَجْهِهَاۤ اَوْ یَخَافُوْۤا اَنْ تُرَدَّ اَیْمَانٌۢ بَعْدَ اَیْمَانِهِمْؕ-وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اسْمَعُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠(۱۰۸)

It is thus likely that men will bear witness rightly, or else fear that their oaths may be disproved by oaths given after them. So fear God, and do not forget that God does not guide the iniquitous.

That is most suitable: that they may give the evidence in its true nature and shape, or else they would fear that other oaths would be taken after their oaths. But fear Allah, and listen (to His counsel): for Allah guideth not a rebellious people:

5:109

یَوْمَ یَجْمَعُ اللّٰهُ الرُّسُلَ فَیَقُوْلُ مَا ذَاۤ اُجِبْتُمْؕ-قَالُوْا لَا عِلْمَ لَنَاؕ-اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُیُوْبِ(۱۰۹)

The day God will gather the apostles and ask: "What answer was made to you?" They will say: "We know not. You alone know the secrets unknown."

One day will Allah gather the messengers together, and ask: "What was the response ye received (from men to your teaching)?" They will say: "We have no knowledge: it is Thou Who knowest in full all that is hidden."

5:110

اِذْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ یٰعِیْسَى ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِیْ عَلَیْكَ وَ عَلٰى وَ الِدَتِكَۘ-اِذْ اَیَّدْتُّكَ بِرُوْحِ الْقُدُسِ- تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِی الْمَهْدِ وَ كَهْلًاۚ-وَ اِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ التَّوْرٰىةَ وَ الْاِنْجِیْلَۚ-وَ اِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّیْنِ كَهَیْــٴَـةِ الطَّیْرِ بِاِذْنِیْ فَتَنْفُخُ فِیْهَا فَتَكُوْنُ طَیْرًۢا بِاِذْنِیْ وَ تُبْرِئُ الْاَكْمَهَ وَ الْاَبْرَصَ بِاِذْنِیْۚ-وَ اِذْ تُخْرِ جُ الْمَوْتٰى بِاِذْنِیْۚ-وَ اِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ عَنْكَ اِذْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْهُمْ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ(۱۱۰)

And when God will say: "O Jesus, son of Mary, remember the favours I bestowed on you and your mother, and reinforced you with divine grace that you spoke to men when in the cradle, and when in the prime of life; when I taught you the law and the judgement and the Torah and the Gospel; when you formed the state of your people´s destiny out of mire and you breathed (a new spirit) into it, and they rose by My leave; when you healed the blind by My leave, and the leper ; when you put life into the dead by My will; and when I held back the children of Israel from you when you brought to them My signs, and the disbelievers among them said: "Surely these are nothing but pure magic."

Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'

5:111

وَ اِذْ اَوْحَیْتُ اِلَى الْحَوَارِیّٖنَ اَنْ اٰمِنُوْا بِیْ وَ بِرَسُوْلِیْۚ-قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا وَ اشْهَدْ بِاَنَّنَا مُسْلِمُوْنَ(۱۱۱)

And when I inspired the disciples (through Jesus) to believe in Me and My apostle, they said: "We believe, and You bear witness that we submit"

"And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger: they said, 'We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims'".

5:112

اِذْ قَالَ الْحَوَارِیُّوْنَ یٰعِیْسَى ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ هَلْ یَسْتَطِیْعُ رَبُّكَ اَنْ یُّنَزِّلَ عَلَیْنَا مَآىٕدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِؕ-قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(۱۱۲)

When the disciples said: "O Jesus, son of Mary, could your Lord send down for us a table laid with food?" he said: "Fear God, if indeed you believe."

Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."

5:113

قَالُوْا نُرِیْدُ اَنْ نَّاْكُلَ مِنْهَا وَ تَطْمَىٕنَّ قُلُوْبُنَا وَ نَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ صَدَقْتَنَا وَ نَكُوْنَ عَلَیْهَا مِنَ الشّٰهِدِیْنَ(۱۱۳)

They said: "We should like to eat of it to reassure our hearts and to know that it´s the truth you have told us, and that we should be witness to it."

They said: "We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle."

5:114

قَالَ عِیْسَى ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ اللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَاۤ اَنْزِلْ عَلَیْنَا مَآىٕدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ تَكُوْنُ لَنَا عِیْدًا لِّاَوَّلِنَا وَ اٰخِرِنَا وَ اٰیَةً مِّنْكَۚ-وَ ارْزُقْنَا وَ اَنْتَ خَیْرُ الرّٰزِقِیْنَ(۱۱۴)

Said Jesus, son of Mary. "O God, our Lord, send down a table well laid out with food from the skies so that this day may be a day of feast for the earlier among us and the later, and a token from You. Give us our (daily) bread, for You are the best of all givers of food."

Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."

5:115

قَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّیْ مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَیْكُمْۚ-فَمَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بَعْدُ مِنْكُمْ فَاِنِّیْۤ اُعَذِّبُهٗ عَذَابًا لَّاۤ اُعَذِّبُهٗۤ اَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۠(۱۱۵)

And said God: "I shall send it down to you; but if any of you disbelieve after this, I shall inflict such punishment on him as I never shall inflict on any other creature."

Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples."

5:116

وَ اِذْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ یٰعِیْسَى ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ ءَاَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُوْنِیْ وَ اُمِّیَ اِلٰهَیْنِ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-قَالَ سُبْحٰنَكَ مَا یَكُوْنُ لِیْۤ اَنْ اَقُوْلَ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْۗ-بِحَقٍّ ﳳ-اِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهٗ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهٗؕ-تَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ نَفْسِیْ وَ لَاۤ اَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ نَفْسِكَؕ-اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُیُوْبِ(۱۱۶)

And when God will ask: "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to mankind: ´Worship me and my mother as two deities apart from God?´ (Jesus) will answer: "Halleluja. Could I say what I knew I had no right (to say)? Had I said it You would surely have known, for You know what is in my heart though I know not what You have. You alone know the secrets unknown.

And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

5:117

مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ اِلَّا مَاۤ اَمَرْتَنِیْ بِهٖۤ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبِّیْ وَ رَبَّكُمْۚ-وَ كُنْتُ عَلَیْهِمْ شَهِیْدًا مَّا دُمْتُ فِیْهِمْۚ-فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّیْتَنِیْ كُنْتَ اَنْتَ الرَّقِیْبَ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-وَ اَنْتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدٌ(۱۱۷)

I said nought to them but what You commanded me: Worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And so long as I dwelt with them I was witness over their actions. And after my life had been done, You were their keeper; and You are a witness over all things.

"Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.

5:118

اِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَۚ-وَ اِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَاِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ(۱۱۸)

If You punish them, indeed they are Your creatures; if You pardon them, indeed You are mighty and wise."

"If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise."

5:119

قَالَ اللّٰهُ هٰذَا یَوْمُ یَنْفَعُ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ صِدْقُهُمْؕ-لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًاؕ-رَضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ رَضُوْا عَنْهُؕ-ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ(۱۱۹)

God will say: ´This is the day when the truthful shall profit by their truthfulness. For them will be gardens with streams running by, where they will for ever abide." God will accept them, and they will be gratified in (obeying) Him. This will surely be happiness supreme.

Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home: Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah: That is the great salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires).

5:120

لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا فِیْهِنَّؕ-وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۠(۱۲۰)

To God belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth, and His the power over everything.

To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, and it is He Who hath power over all things.
