Surah An-Nisaa Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

4:81

وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ طَاعَةٌ٘-فَاِذَا بَرَزُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَیَّتَ طَآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ تَقُوْلُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَكْتُبُ مَا یُبَیِّتُوْنَۚ-فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-وَ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِیْلًا(۸۱)

They say: "We obey;" but when they leave your company, a section of them discuss at night other things than you had said; but God takes note of what they discuss. So turn aside from them and trust in God; and God is sufficient as protector.

They have "Obedience" on their lips; but when they leave thee, a section of them Meditate all night on things very different from what thou tellest them. But Allah records their nightly (plots): So keep clear of them, and put thy trust in Allah, and enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

4:82

اَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَؕ-وَ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَیْرِ اللّٰهِ لَوَجَدُوْا فِیْهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِیْرًا(۸۲)

Do they not ponder over the Qur´an? Had it been the word of any other but God they would surely have found a good deal of variation in it.

Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.

4:83

وَ اِذَا جَآءَهُمْ اَمْرٌ مِّنَ الْاَمْنِ اَوِ الْخَوْفِ اَذَاعُوْا بِهٖؕ-وَ لَوْ رَدُّوْهُ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ وَ اِلٰۤى اُولِی الْاَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَنْۢبِطُوْنَهٗ مِنْهُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ لَاتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّیْطٰنَ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا(۸۳)

And when any tidings of peace or war come to them they spread the news around. Had they gone to the Prophet or those in authority among them, then those who check and scrutinize would have known it, And but for the favour of God and His mercy you would certainly have followed Satan, except a few.

When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.

4:84

فَقَاتِلْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِۚ-لَا تُكَلَّفُ اِلَّا نَفْسَكَ وَ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۚ-عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّكُفَّ بَاْسَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَشَدُّ بَاْسًا وَّ اَشَدُّ تَنْكِیْلًا(۸۴)

So fight on in the way of God (irrespective of the others). You cannot compel any one except your own self; but urge the believers to fight. It may well be that God will keep back the might of the infidels, for God´s might is greater, and severe His punishment.

Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

4:85

مَنْ یَّشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً یَّكُنْ لَّهٗ نَصِیْبٌ مِّنْهَاۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَیِّئَةً یَّكُنْ لَّهٗ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَاؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مُّقِیْتًا(۸۵)

He who intercedes in a good cause will surely have a share in the recompense; and he who abets an evil act will share the burden thereof; for God (equates and) is watchful of all things.

Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein: And whoever recommends and helps an evil cause, shares in its burden: And Allah hath power over all things.

4:86

وَ اِذَا حُیِّیْتُمْ بِتَحِیَّةٍ فَحَیُّوْا بِاَحْسَنَ مِنْهَاۤ اَوْ رُدُّوْهَاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَسِیْبًا(۸۶)

When you are greeted with a greeting, then greet with one fairer, or repeat the same greeting. For God takes account of all things.

When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things.

4:87

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ-لَیَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهِؕ-وَ مَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ حَدِیْثًا۠(۸۷)

God: There is no god but He. He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection which is certain to come; and whose word is truer than God´s?

Allah! There is no god but He: of a surety He will gather you together against the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. And whose word can be truer than Allah's?

4:88

فَمَا لَكُمْ فِی الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ فِئَتَیْنِ وَ اللّٰهُ اَرْكَسَهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْاؕ-اَتُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَهْدُوْا مَنْ اَضَلَّ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ سَبِیْلًا(۸۸)

How is it that you are divided in two factions about the hypocrites? God has routed them for what they were doing. Do you wish to guide him to the path whom God has allowed to go astray? As for him whom God allows to go astray you will not find a way.

Why should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? Allah hath upset them for their (evil) deeds. Would ye guide those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way? For those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way, never shalt thou find the Way.

4:89

وَدُّوْا لَوْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ كَمَا كَفَرُوْا فَتَكُوْنُوْنَ سَوَآءً فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءَ حَتّٰى یُهَاجِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِؕ-فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَخُذُوْهُمْ وَ اقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَیْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ ۪- وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْهُمْ وَلِیًّا وَّ لَا نَصِیْرًاۙ(۸۹)

They wish you to become disbelievers as they are, so that you should become like them. Therefore hold them not as friends until they go out of their homes in the way of God. If they do not, seize them wherever they are and do away with them. Do not make them your friends or allies,

They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks;-

4:90

اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ یَصِلُوْنَ اِلٰى قَوْمٍۭ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُمْ مِّیْثَاقٌ اَوْ جَآءُوْكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُوْرُهُمْ اَنْ یُّقَاتِلُوْكُمْ اَوْ یُقَاتِلُوْا قَوْمَهُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمْ عَلَیْكُمْ فَلَقٰتَلُوْكُمْۚ-فَاِنِ اعْتَزَلُوْكُمْ فَلَمْ یُقَاتِلُوْكُمْ وَ اَلْقَوْا اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلَمَۙ-فَمَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ عَلَیْهِمْ سَبِیْلًا(۹۰)

Except those who take refuge with a people allied to you, or those who, weary of fighting you or their people, come over to you. If God had so willed He would surely have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. If they keep aloof and do not fight, and offer peace, God has left you no reason to fight them.

Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then Allah Hath opened no way for you (to war against them).

4:91

سَتَجِدُوْنَ اٰخَرِیْنَ یُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ یَّاْمَنُوْكُمْ وَ یَاْمَنُوْا قَوْمَهُمْؕ-كُلَّمَا رُدُّوْۤا اِلَى الْفِتْنَةِ اُرْكِسُوْا فِیْهَاۚ-فَاِنْ لَّمْ یَعْتَزِلُوْكُمْ وَ یُلْقُوْۤا اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلَمَ وَ یَكُفُّوْۤا اَیْدِیَهُمْ فَخُذُوْهُمْ وَ اقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَیْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوْهُمْؕ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكُمْ جَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ عَلَیْهِمْ سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِیْنًا۠(۹۱)

You will also find persons who, while wishing to live in peace with you as well as with their own people, turn to civil war the moment they are called to it. If they do not keep away from you, nor offer you peace nor restrain their hands, seize them and kill them wherever they are. We have given you a clear sanction against them.

Others you will find that wish to gain your confidence as well as that of their people: Every time they are sent back to temptation, they succumb thereto: if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them: In their case We have provided you with a clear argument against them.

4:92

وَ مَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ اَنْ یَّقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا اِلَّا خَطَــٴًـاۚ-وَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا خَطَــٴًـا فَتَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ وَّ دِیَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّصَّدَّقُوْاؕ-فَاِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَّكُمْ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍؕ-وَ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍۭ بَیْنَكُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُمْ مِّیْثَاقٌ فَدِیَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهٖ وَ تَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍۚ-فَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجِدْ فَصِیَامُ شَهْرَیْنِ مُتَتَابِعَیْنِ٘-تَوْبَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۹۲)

It is not for a believer to take a believer´s life except by mistake; and he who kills a believer by mistake should free a slave who is a believer, and pay blood-money to the victim´s family unless they forego it as an act of charity. If he belonged to a community hostile to you but was himself a believer, then a slave who is a believer should be freed. In case he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty, then give blood-money to his family and free a believing slave. But he who has no means (to do so) should fast for a period of two months continuously to have his sins forgiven by God, and God is all-knowing and all-wise.

Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom.

4:93

وَ مَنْ یَّقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَآؤُهٗ جَهَنَّمُ خٰلِدًا فِیْهَا وَ غَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ لَعَنَهٗ وَ اَعَدَّ لَهٗ عَذَابًا عَظِیْمًا(۹۳)

Any one who kills a believer intentionally will be cast into Hell to abide there for ever, and suffer God´s anger and damnation. For him a greater punishment awaits.

If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.

4:94

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَتَبَیَّنُوْا وَ لَا تَقُوْلُوْا لِمَنْ اَلْقٰۤى اِلَیْكُمُ السَّلٰمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًاۚ-تَبْتَغُوْنَ عَرَضَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا٘-فَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِیْرَةٌؕ-كَذٰلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْكُمْ فَتَبَیَّنُوْاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرًا(۹۴)

O believers, when you go out on a journey in the way of God, be discreet and do not say to anyone who greets you in peace: "You are not a believer." You desire the gain of earthly life, but there are prizes in plenty with God. You were also like him (an unbeliever) in the past, but God has been gracious to you. So be careful and discreet, for God is aware of what you do.

O ye who believe! When ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.

4:95

لَا یَسْتَوِی الْقٰعِدُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ غَیْرُ اُولِی الضَّرَرِ وَ الْمُجٰهِدُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْؕ-فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ الْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ عَلَى الْقٰعِدِیْنَ دَرَجَةًؕ-وَ كُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْحُسْنٰىؕ-وَ فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ الْمُجٰهِدِیْنَ عَلَى الْقٰعِدِیْنَ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًاۙ(۹۵)

The faithful who sit idle, other than those who are disabled, are not equal to those who fight in the way of God with their wealth and lives. God has exalted those in rank who fight for the faith with their wealth and souls over those who sit idle. Though God´s promise of good is for all, He has granted His favour of the highest reward to those who struggle in preference to those who sit at home.

Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-

4:96

دَرَجٰتٍ مِّنْهُ وَ مَغْفِرَةً وَّ رَحْمَةًؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا۠(۹۶)

For them are higher ranks with God, and forgiveness and grace; and God is forgiving and kind.

Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

4:97

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَوَفّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ ظَالِمِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوْا فِیْمَ كُنْتُمْؕ-قَالُوْا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-قَالُوْۤا اَلَمْ تَكُنْ اَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوْا فِیْهَاؕ-فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ سَآءَتْ مَصِیْرًاۙ(۹۷)

As for those whose souls are taken by the angels (at death) while in a state of unbelief, they will be asked by the angels: "What (state) were you in?" They will answer: "We were oppressed in the land." And the angels will say: "Was not God´s earth large enough for you to migrate?" Their abode will be Hell, and what an evil destination!

When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! -

4:98

اِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَآءِ وَ الْوِلْدَانِ لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ حِیْلَةً وَّ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ سَبِیْلًاۙ(۹۸)

But those who are helpless, men, women and children, who can neither contrive a plan nor do they know the way,

Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and children - who have no means in their power, nor (a guide-post) to their way.

4:99

فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُوْرًا(۹۹)

May well hope for the mercy of God; and God is full of mercy and grace.

For these, there is hope that Allah will forgive: For Allah doth blot out (sins) and forgive again and again.

4:100

وَ مَنْ یُّهَاجِرْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ یَجِدْ فِی الْاَرْضِ مُرٰغَمًا كَثِیْرًا وَّسَعَةًؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّخْرُ جْ مِنْۢ بَیْتِهٖ مُهَاجِرًا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ ثُمَّ یُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَ قَعَ اَجْرُهٗ عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا۠(۱۰۰)

Whosoever leaves his country in duty to God will find many places of refuge, and abundance on the earth. And he who leaves his home and becomes an emigre in the way of God and His Messenger, and death overtake him, is sure to receive his reward from God; for God is forgiving and kind.

He who forsakes his home in the cause of Allah, finds in the earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die as a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger, His reward becomes due and sure with Allah: And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

4:101

وَ اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَلَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَقْصُرُوْا مِنَ الصَّلٰوةِ ﳓ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَنْ یَّفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-اِنَّ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ كَانُوْا لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُّبِیْنًا(۱۰۱)

When you travel in the land there is no sin if you curtail your service of prayer if you fear the unbelievers may harass you, for indeed your open enemies are the infidels.

When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.

4:102

وَ اِذَا كُنْتَ فِیْهِمْ فَاَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ مَّعَكَ وَ لْیَاْخُذُوْۤا اَسْلِحَتَهُمْ- فَاِذَا سَجَدُوْا فَلْیَكُوْنُوْا مِنْ وَّرَآىٕكُمْ ۪- وَ لْتَاْتِ طَآىٕفَةٌ اُخْرٰى لَمْ یُصَلُّوْا فَلْیُصَلُّوْا مَعَكَ وَ لْیَاْخُذُوْا حِذْرَهُمْ وَ اَسْلِحَتَهُمْۚ-وَدَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ تَغْفُلُوْنَ عَنْ اَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَ اَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَیَمِیْلُوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّیْلَةً وَّاحِدَةًؕ-وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ اَذًى مِّنْ مَّطَرٍ اَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰۤى اَنْ تَضَعُوْۤا اَسْلِحَتَكُمْۚ-وَ خُذُوْا حِذْرَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِیْنًا(۱۰۲)

When you are among them, and have to lead the service of prayer, let one group stand up with you, but let them keep their arms. After they have paid their homage they should go to the rear, and let the group which has not done so yet offer their service of prayer with you, remaining cautious and armed, The infidels wish to find you neglectful of your arms and provisions, to attack you unawares. It will not be a sin if you put aside your arms when you are troubled by rain, or you are ill; but take full precautions. God has reserved for infidels a despicable punishment

When thou (O Messenger) art with them, and standest to lead them in prayer, Let one party of them stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with thee, Taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the Unbelievers wish, if ye were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you if ye put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because ye are ill; but take (every) precaution for yourselves. For the Unbelievers Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment.

4:103

فَاِذَا قَضَیْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ قِیٰمًا وَّ قُعُوْدًا وَّ عَلٰى جُنُوْبِكُمْۚ-فَاِذَا اطْمَاْنَنْتُمْ فَاَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَۚ-اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ كِتٰبًا مَّوْقُوْتًا(۱۰۳)

If you are late in performing your service of prayer honour God by remembering Him, standing or sitting or lying on your sides. And when you have security perform your act of prayer befittingly; and praying at fixed hours is prescribed for the faithful.

When ye pass (Congregational) prayers, celebrate Allah's praises, standing, sitting down, or lying down on your sides; but when ye are free from danger, set up Regular Prayers: For such prayers are enjoined on believers at stated times.

4:104

وَ لَا تَهِنُوْا فِی ابْتِغَآءِ الْقَوْمِؕ-اِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا تَاْلَمُوْنَ فَاِنَّهُمْ یَاْلَمُوْنَ كَمَا تَاْلَمُوْنَۚ-وَ تَرْجُوْنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَرْجُوْنَؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا۠(۱۰۴)

And do not be chary of pursuing them. If you suffer, they shall also suffer like you. But while you have hope (of success) from God, they have none. Surely God is all-knowing and all-wise.

And slacken not in following up the enemy: If ye are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships; but ye have Hope from Allah, while they have none. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

4:105

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَیْنَ النَّاسِ بِمَاۤ اَرٰىكَ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ لَا تَكُنْ لِّلْخَآىٕنِیْنَ خَصِیْمًاۙ(۱۰۵)

We have sent down to you the Book containing the truth, in whose light you should judge among the people as God has shown you, and do not be a contender for deceivers.

We have sent down to thee the Book in truth, that thou mightest judge between men, as guided by Allah: so be not (used) as an advocate by those who betray their trust;

4:106

وَّ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًاۚ(۱۰۶)

And seek God´s forgiveness, for God is surely forgiving and kind.

But seek the forgiveness of Allah; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

4:107

وَ لَا تُجَادِلْ عَنِ الَّذِیْنَ یَخْتَانُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ خَوَّانًا اَثِیْمًاۚۙ(۱۰۷)

Do not argue for those who harbour deceit in their hearts, for God does not love the treacherous and the iniquitous.

Contend not on behalf of such as betray their own souls; for Allah loveth not one given to perfidy and crime:

4:108

یَّسْتَخْفُوْنَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا یَسْتَخْفُوْنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ اِذْ یُبَیِّتُوْنَ مَا لَا یَرْضٰى مِنَ الْقَوْلِؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطًا(۱۰۸)

They try to hide from (men), but they cannot hide from God who is with them at night when they discuss such matters as He does not approve; but what they do is well within the compass of God.

They may hide (Their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide (Them) from Allah, seeing that He is in their midst when they plot by night, in words that He cannot approve: And Allah Doth compass round all that they do.

4:109

هٰۤاَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ جٰدَلْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا- فَمَنْ یُّجَادِلُ اللّٰهَ عَنْهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اَمْ مَّنْ یَّكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِمْ وَكِیْلًا(۱۰۹)

Well, you are those who pleaded for them in the life of this world; but who will plead for them on the Day of Resurrection or be their security?

Ah! These are the sort of men on whose behalf ye may contend in this world; but who will contend with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Judgment, or who will carry their affairs through?

4:110

وَ مَنْ یَّعْمَلْ سُوْٓءًا اَوْ یَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهٗ ثُمَّ یَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَ یَجِدِ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا(۱۱۰)

He who does evil or acts against his own interests (by disbelieving), then prays for God´s forgiveness, will find God compassionate and merciful.

If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

4:111

وَ مَنْ یَّكْسِبْ اِثْمًا فَاِنَّمَا یَكْسِبُهٗ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا(۱۱۱)

He who earns the wages of sin does so for himself; and God is aware of everything and is wise.

And if any one earns sin. he earns it against His own soul: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

4:112

وَ مَنْ یَّكْسِبْ خَطِیْٓــٴَـةً اَوْ اِثْمًا ثُمَّ یَرْمِ بِهٖ بَرِیْٓــٴًـا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلَ بُهْتَانًا وَّ اِثْمًا مُّبِیْنًا۠(۱۱۲)

He who commits a mistake or iniquity and ascribes it to one who is innocent, is guilty of calumny and brazen sin.

But if any one earns a fault or a sin and throws it on to one that is innocent, He carries (on himself) (Both) a falsehood and a flagrant sin.

4:113

وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكَ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ لَهَمَّتْ طَّآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ اَنْ یُّضِلُّوْكَؕ-وَ مَا یُضِلُّوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ مَا یَضُرُّوْنَكَ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-وَ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ عَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُؕ-وَ كَانَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكَ عَظِیْمًا(۱۱۳)

But for the mercy of God and His grace you would certainly have been misled by a section of them; yet they could not mislead you but themselves alone, and could do you no harm, for God has revealed to you the Book and the Law, and taught you what you did not know. Great have been the blessings of God on you.

But for the Grace of Allah to thee and his Mercy, a party of them would certainly have plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only Lead their own souls astray, and to thee they can do no harm in the least. For Allah hath sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): And great is the Grace of Allah unto thee.

4:114

لَا خَیْرَ فِیْ كَثِیْرٍ مِّنْ نَّجْوٰىهُمْ اِلَّا مَنْ اَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ اَوْ مَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ اِصْلَاحٍۭ بَیْنَ النَّاسِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِیْهِ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًا(۱۱۴)

Their confidential counsels are seldom for the good, save of those who talk of charity or goodness or peace among men. Whosoever does so for the pleasure of God, We shall give him an ample reward.

In most of their secret talks there is no good: But if one exhorts to a deed of charity or justice or conciliation between men, (Secrecy is permissible): To him who does this, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall soon give a reward of the highest (value).

4:115

وَ مَنْ یُّشَاقِقِ الرَّسُوْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدٰى وَ یَتَّبِـعْ غَیْرَ سَبِیْلِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ نُوَلِّهٖ مَا تَوَلّٰى وَ نُصْلِهٖ جَهَنَّمَؕ-وَ سَآءَتْ مَصِیْرًا۠(۱۱۵)

And he who opposes the Prophet even after the way has become clear to him, and follows a path other than the way of believers, We shall lead him to what he has chosen for himself, and shall take him to Hell: How evil a journey´s end.

If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of Faith, We shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him in Hell,- what an evil refuge!

4:116

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَغْفِرُ اَنْ یُّشْرَكَ بِهٖ وَ یَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًۢا بَعِیْدًا(۱۱۶)

God does not forgive that compeers be ascribed to Him, and absolves all else whatsoever He will. And he who associates compeers with God has indeed wandered far astray.

Allah forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).

4:117

اِنْ یَّدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اِنٰثًاۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَّا شَیْطٰنًا مَّرِیْدًاۙ(۱۱۷)

In His place they invoke only females (the pagan deities); and instead of Him they invoke Satan the obstinate rebel

(The Pagans), leaving Him, call but upon female deities: They call but upon satan the persistent rebel!

4:118

لَّعَنَهُ اللّٰهُۘ-وَ قَالَ لَاَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِیْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًاۙ(۱۱۸)

Who was condemned by God and who said: "I shall take from Thy creatures my determinate share,

Allah did curse him, but he said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked off;

4:119

وَّ لَاُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَ لَاُمَنِّیَنَّهُمْ وَ لَاٰمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَیُبَتِّكُنَّ اٰذَانَ الْاَنْعَامِ وَ لَاٰمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَیُغَیِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَّخِذِ الشَّیْطٰنَ وَلِیًّا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِیْنًاؕ(۱۱۹)

And mislead them and tempt them, and order them to slit the ears of animals; and order them to alter God´s creation." He who holds Satan as friend in place of God will assuredly be damned to perdition.

"I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.

4:120

یَعِدُهُمْ وَ یُمَنِّیْهِمْؕ-وَ مَا یَعِدُهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا(۱۲۰)

Whatever the promises he makes, whatever the desires he enkindles, and whatever the hopes Satan rouses in them, are no more than delusion.

Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but satan's promises are nothing but deception.
