An-Nisa النساء

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. O mankind! Guard yourselves toward your Guardian, who created you from a single Self, and created from it its spouse, and spread, from the two of them, many men and women.

بِسْمِ اِ۬للَّهِ اِ۬لرَّحْمَٰنِ اِ۬لرَّحِيمِ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لنَّاسُ اُ۪تَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ اُ۬لذِے خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٖ وَٰحِدَةٖ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاٗ كَثِيراٗ وَنِسَآءٗۖ

And guard yourselves toward God, in whose name you solicit one another, and the ties of kinship,

وَاتَّقُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ اَ۬لذِے تَسَّآءَلُونَ بِهِۦ وَالَارْحَامَۖ

And give the orphans their goods,

وَءَاتُواْ اُ۬لْيَتَٰم۪ىٰٓ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْۖ

and do not substitute the vile for the wholesome,

وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُواْ اُ۬لْخَبِيثَ بِالطَّيِّبِۖ

and do not devour their goods with yours,

وَلَا تَاكُلُوٓاْ أَمْوَٰلَهُمُۥٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَمْوَٰلِكُمُۥٓۖ

And if you fear not being equitable toward the orphans, marry then those women who find it good to marry you, two, three, or four;

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمُۥٓ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُواْ فِے اِ۬لْيَتَٰم۪ىٰ فَانكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ اَ۬لنِّسَآءِ مَثْن۪ىٰ وَثُلَٰثَ وَرُبَٰعَۖ

and if you fear not being just, then only one, or those to whom you are bound by oath.

فَإِنْ خِفْتُمُۥٓ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُواْ فَوَٰحِدَةً اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتَ اَيْمَٰنُكُمْۖ

And give women their dowries, as an attribution of full right.

وَءَاتُواْ اُ۬لنِّسَآءَ صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةٗۖ

Then, if they find it good to release any of it to you of their own accord, consume it

فَإِن طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَن شَےْءٖ مِّنْهُ نَفْساٗ فَكُلُوهُۖ

And do not give to the foolish your goods, which God has made a support for you;

وَلَا تُوتُواْ اُ۬لسُّفَهَآءَ امْوَٰلَكُمُ اُ۬لتِے جَعَلَ اَ۬للَّهُ لَكُمْ قِيَماٗۖ

And test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if you then discern in them a rectitude of judgment, hand over to them their goods, and do not devour them wastefully and hastily, before they grow up.

۞ وَابْتَلُواْ اُ۬لْيَتَٰم۪ىٰ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغُواْ اُ۬لنِّكَاحَ فَإِنَ اٰنَسْتُم مِّنْهُمْ رُشْداٗ فَادْفَعُوٓاْ إِلَيْهِمُۥٓ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ وَلَا تَاكُلُوهَآ إِسْرَافاٗ وَبِدَاراً اَنْ يَّكْبَرُواْۖ

And whoever is rich, let him refrain;

وَمَن كَانَ غَنِيّاٗ فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْۖ

and whoever is poor, let him eat from it according to what is recognized.

وَمَن كَانَ فَقِيراٗ فَلْيَاكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِۖ

And when you hand over their goods to them, take witnesses regarding them.

فَإِذَا دَفَعْتُمُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمُۥٓ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فَأَشْهِدُواْ عَلَيْهِمْۖ

To men belongs a portion of what the two parents and relatives leave, and to women belongs a portion of what the two parents and relatives leave, whether little or much —

لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٞ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ اَ۬لْوَٰلِدَٰنِ وَالَاقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِيبٞ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ اَ۬لْوَٰلِدَٰنِ وَالَاقْرَبُونَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ أَوْ كَثُرَۖ

And when the possessors of kinship ties, the orphans, and the destitute are present at the division, provide for them from it,

وَإِذَا حَضَرَ اَ۬لْقِسْمَةَ أُوْلُواْ اُ۬لْقُرْب۪ىٰ وَالْيَتَٰم۪ىٰ وَالْمَسَٰكِينُ فَارْزُقُوهُم مِّنْهُۖ

And let those dread who, if they left behind them weak descendants, would fear for them:

وَلْيَخْشَ اَ۬لذِينَ لَوْ تَرَكُواْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّةٗ ضِعَٰفاً خَافُواْ عَلَيْهِمْۖ

Those who devour the goods of orphans wrongfully are only devouring fire in their bellies,

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ يَاكُلُونَ أَمْوَٰلَ اَ۬لْيَتَٰم۪ىٰ ظُلْماً اِنَّمَا يَاكُلُونَ فِے بُطُونِهِمْ نَاراٗۖ

God instructs you, concerning your children:

۞ يُوصِيكُمُ اُ۬للَّهُ فِےٓ أَوْلَٰدِكُمْۖ

to the male, the equivalent of the share of two females.

لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اِ۬لُانثَيَيْنِۖ

But if there are more than two women, two-thirds of what is left belongs to them;

فَإِن كُنَّ نِسَآءٗ فَوْقَ اَ۪ثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَۖ

and if she is alone, half belongs to her.

وَإِن كَانَتْ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَلَهَا اَ۬لنِّصْفُۖ

And to his father and mother, to each of them, a sixth of what he leaves, if he has a child;

وَلِأَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَٰحِدٖ مِّنْهُمَا اَ۬لسُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِن كَانَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۖ

but if he has no child, and his father and mother inherit from him, to his mother belongs a third.

فَإِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلَدٞ وَوَرِثَهُۥٓ أَبَوَٰهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ اِ۬لثُّلُثُۖ

If he has siblings, to his mother belongs a sixth,

فَإِن كَانَ لَهُۥٓ إِخْوَةٞ فَلِأُمِّهِ اِ۬لسُّدُسُۖ

after a testament he may have made, or a debt.

مِنۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٖ يُوصِے بِهَآ أَوْ دَيْنٍۖ

Your fathers and your sons — you have no idea which of them are closer to you in benefit:

اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ أَيُّهُمُۥٓ أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعاٗۖ

it is an obligation from God,

فَرِيضَةٗ مِّنَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

And to you belongs half of what your wives leave, if they have no child;

وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ أَزْوَٰجُكُمُۥٓ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٞۖ

but if they have a child, to you belongs a quarter of what they leave, after a testament they may have made, or a debt.

فَإِن كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٞ فَلَكُمُ اُ۬لرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٖ يُوصِينَ بِهَآ أَوْ دَيْنٖۖ

And to them belongs a quarter of what you leave, if you have no child;

وَلَهُنَّ اَ۬لرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمُۥٓ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّكُمْ وَلَدٞۖ

but if you have a child, to them belongs an eighth of what you leave, after a testament you may have made, or a debt.

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٞ فَلَهُنَّ اَ۬لثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٖ تُوصُونَ بِهَآ أَوْ دَيْنٖۖ

And if a man whose inheritance passes in the absence of any ascendant or descendant, or a woman in the same case, has a brother or a sister, to each of them belongs a sixth;

وَإِن كَانَ رَجُلٞ يُورَثُ كَلَٰلَةً اَوِ اِ۪مْرَأَةٞ وَلَهُۥٓ أَخٌ اَوُ ا۟خْتٞ فَلِكُلِّ وَٰحِدٖ مِّنْهُمَا اَ۬لسُّدُسُۖ

but if they are more numerous than that, they share in the third, after a testament that may have been made, or a debt, without harm.

فَإِن كَانُوٓاْ أَكْثَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فِے اِ۬لثُّلُثِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٖ يُوصِے بِهَآ أَوْ دَيْنٍ غَيْرَ مُضَآرّٖۖ

It is a recommendation from God.

وَصِيَّةٗ مِّنَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

Those are the limits of God.

۞ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اُ۬للَّهِۖ

And whoever defers to God and His messenger, He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein he will abide eternally.

وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اِ۬للَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ نُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجْرِے مِن تَحْتِهَا اَ۬لَانْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ

And whoever disobeys God and His messenger, and crosses His limits, He will admit him into a fire wherein he will abide eternally,

وَمَنْ يَّعْصِ اِ۬للَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُۥ نُدْخِلْهُ نَاراً خَٰلِداٗ فِيهَاۖ

And those of your women who commit indecency, take against them the testimony of four among you;

وَالتِے يَاتِينَ اَ۬لْفَٰحِشَةَ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةٗ مِّنكُمْۖ

And the two among you who commit it, trouble them both;

وَالذَٰنِ يَاتِيَٰنِهَا مِنكُمْ فَـَٔاذُوهُمَاۖ

but if they turn back and become sound, turn away from them,

فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمَآۖ

The repentance accepted by God concerns only those who do evil out of ignorance, then turn back without delay:

اِنَّمَا اَ۬لتَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اَ۬للَّهِ لِلذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ اَ۬لسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةٖ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُونَ مِن قَرِيبٖۖ

those are the ones toward whom God turns with clemency.

فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَتُوبُ اُ۬للَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْۖ

And repentance is not accepted for those who commit evil deeds until, when death presents itself to one of them, he says: "I indeed turn back now" — nor for those who die while disowning:

وَلَيْسَتِ اِ۬لتَّوْبَةُ لِلذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ اَ۬لسَّيِّـَٔاتِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ اُ۬لْمَوْتُ قَالَ إِنِّے تُبْتُ اُ۬لَٰـنَ وَلَا اَ۬لذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌۖ

O you who have believed! It is not permitted for you to inherit women by force,

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمُۥٓ أَن تَرِثُوا اُ۬لنِّسَآءَ كَرْهاٗۖ

and do not put obstacles before them so as to carry off part of what you gave them, unless they commit a manifest indecency.

وَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُواْ بِبَعْضِ مَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ إِلَّآ أَنْ يَّاتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ مُّبَيِّنَةٖۖ

And live with them according to what is recognized.

۞ وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِۖ

And if you want to replace one wife with another, and you have given one of them a quintal, take nothing of it back.

وَإِنَ اَرَدتُّمُ اُ۪سْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٖ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٖ وَءَاتَيْتُمُۥٓ إِحْد۪يٰهُنَّ قِنطَاراٗ فَلَا تَاخُذُواْ مِنْهُ شَئْاًۖ

And do not marry those women whom your ancestors married, except what is already bygone,

وَلَا تَنكِحُواْ مَا نَكَحَ ءَابَآؤُكُم مِّنَ اَ۬لنِّسَآءِ الَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَۖ

for it was an indecency and an abomination,

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةٗ وَمَقْتاٗۖ

Prohibited to you are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters,

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُۥٓ أُمَّهَٰتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَأَخَوَٰتُكُمْ وَعَمَّٰتُكُمْ وَخَٰلَٰتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُ اُ۬لَاخِ وَبَنَاتُ اُ۬لُاخْتِۖ

your mothers who took you into their care, as well as your sisters through shared care,

وَأُمَّهَٰتُكُمُ اُ۬لتِےٓ أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَأَخَوَٰتُكُم مِّنَ اَ۬لرَّضَٰعَةِۖ

the mothers of your women, the girls brought up in your household, from women with whom you have consummated marriage —

وَأُمَّهَٰتُ نِسَآئِكُمْ وَرَبَٰٓئِبُكُمُ اُ۬لتِے فِے حُجُورِكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِكُمُ اُ۬لتِے دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّۖ

but if you have not consummated marriage with them, no blame upon you —

فَإِن لَّمْ تَكُونُواْ دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْۖ

those permitted in wedlock to your sons from your own loins,

وَحَلَٰٓئِلُ أَبْنَآئِكُمُ اُ۬لذِينَ مِنَ اَصْلَٰبِكُمْۖ

and to unite two sisters, except what is already bygone,

وَأَن تَجْمَعُواْ بَيْنَ اَ۬لُاخْتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَۖ

And the women protected by the marital bond, except those to whom you are bound by oath —

۞ وَالْمُحْصَنَٰتُ مِنَ اَ۬لنِّسَآءِ الَّا مَا مَلَكَتَ اَيْمَٰنُكُمْۖ

it is God's Code that binds you.

كِتَٰبَ اَ۬للَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْۖ

And permitted to you are all beyond these categories, whom you seek with your goods, as men who commit to the marital bond, not in debauchery.

وَأَحَلَّ لَكُم مَّا وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكُمُۥٓ أَن تَبْتَغُواْ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُم مُّحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَٰفِحِينَۖ

And for what you have enjoyed with them, give them their rewards, as a fixed obligation.

فَمَا اَ۪سْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهِۦ مِنْهُنَّ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةٗۖ

And no blame upon you for what you agree upon by mutual satisfaction, once the obligation is fixed,

وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا تَرَٰضَيْتُم بِهِۦ مِنۢ بَعْدِ اِ۬لْفَرِيضَةِۖ

And whoever among you lacks the means to marry believing protected women, then one of your believing young women bound by oath.

وَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنكُمْ طَوْلاً اَنْ يَّنكِحَ اَ۬لْمُحْصَنَٰتِ اِ۬لْمُومِنَٰتِ فَمِن مَّا مَلَكَتَ اَيْمَٰنُكُم مِّن فَتَيَٰتِكُمُ اُ۬لْمُومِنَٰتِۖ

God knows best your oaths;

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِكُمۖ

you are of one another.

بَعْضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعْضٖۖ

Marry them, then, with the permission of their family,

فَانكِحُوهُنَّ بِإِذْنِ أَهْلِهِنَّۖ

and give them their rewards according to what is recognized, as women who commit to the marital bond, not in debauchery nor as takers of secret lovers.

وَءَاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مُحْصَنَٰتٍ غَيْرَ مُسَٰفِحَٰتٖ وَلَا مُتَّخِذَٰتِ أَخْدَانٖۖ

And once protected, if they commit an indecency, they incur half the punishment of women protected by the marital bond.

فَإِذَآ أُحْصِنَّ فَإِنَ اَتَيْنَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ فَعَلَيْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى اَ۬لْمُحْصَنَٰتِ مِنَ اَ۬لْعَذَابِۖ

That, for whoever among you dreads being overwhelmed;

ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ اَ۬لْعَنَتَ مِنكُمْۖ

but to be patient is better for you.

وَأَن تَصْبِرُواْ خَيْرٞ لَّكُمْۖ

God wants to make things clear to you, to guide you according to the norms of those who preceded you, and to turn toward you with clemency.

يُرِيدُ اُ۬للَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ اَ۬لذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْۖ

God wants to turn toward you with clemency,

وَاللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَّتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْۖ

God wants to lighten things for you,

يُرِيدُ اُ۬للَّهُ أَنْ يُّخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْۖ

O you who have believed! Do not devour your goods among yourselves through falsehood,

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَاكُلُوٓاْ أَمْوَٰلَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَٰطِلِۖ

unless it is a trade arising from mutual satisfaction among you.

إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَٰرَةٌ عَن تَرَاضٖ مِّنكُمْۖ

And do not kill yourselves,

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمُۥٓۖ

And whoever does that out of hostility and wrongdoing, We will burn him in a fire.

وَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ عُدْوَٰناٗ وَظُلْماٗ فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِ نَاراٗۖ

And do not wish for that by which God has favored some of you relative to others.

وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْاْ مَا فَضَّلَ اَ۬للَّهُ بِهِۦ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٖۖ

To men a portion of what they have earned,

لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٞ مِّمَّا اَ۪كْتَسَبُواْۖ

and to women a portion of what they have earned.

وَلِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِيبٞ مِّمَّا اَ۪كْتَسَبْنَۖ

And ask God for His favor,

وَسْـَٔلُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓۖ

And to each, We have assigned heirs for what is left

وَلِكُلّٖ جَعَلْنَا مَوَٰلِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَۖ

by the two parents and the relatives.

اَ۬لْوَٰلِدَٰنِ وَالَاقْرَبُونَۖ

And those with whom your oaths have bound you, give them their portion,

وَالذِينَ عَٰقَدَتَ اَيْمَٰنُكُمْ فَـَٔاتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمُۥٓۖ

Men bear the charge in place of women, by reason of that by which God has favored some relative to others, and of what they spend from their goods.

اِ۬لرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى اَ۬لنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اَ۬للَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٖ وَبِمَآ أَنفَقُواْ مِنَ اَمْوَٰلِهِمْۖ

Sound women are devoted, preservers of what escapes the senses, by reason of what God has preserved.

فَالصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتٞ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اَ۬للَّهُۖ

And those whose unilateral breach you fear, admonish them, keep away from them in the beds, then multiply them;

وَالتِے تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِے اِ۬لْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّۖ

then, if they defer to you, seek no further way against them,

فَإِنَ اَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلاًۖ

And if you fear a rupture between the two, raise up then an arbiter from his family, and an arbiter from her family; if they both want reconciliation, God will bring them into accord;

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُواْ حَكَماٗ مِّنَ اَهْلِهِۦ وَحَكَماٗ مِّنَ اَهْلِهَآ إِنْ يُّرِيدَآ إِصْلَٰحاٗ يُوَفِّقِ اِ۬للَّهُ بَيْنَهُمَآۖ

And obey God,

۞ وَاعْبُدُواْ اُ۬للَّهَۖ

and associate nothing with Him,

وَلَا تُشْرِكُواْ بِهِۦ شَئْاٗۖ

and beneficence toward the two parents, relatives, orphans, the destitute, the near neighbor, the foreign neighbor, the companion at your side, the passing traveler, and those to whom you are bound by oath;

وَبِالْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰناٗ وَبِذِے اِ۬لْقُرْب۪ىٰ وَالْيَتَٰم۪ىٰ وَالْمَسَٰكِينِ وَالْج۪ارِ ذِے اِ۬لْقُرْب۪ىٰ وَالْج۪ارِ اِ۬لْجُنُبِ وَالصَّٰحِبِ بِالْجَنۢبِ وَابْنِ اِ۬لسَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتَ اَيْمَٰنُكُمُۥٓۖ

Those who are stingy, enjoin stinginess upon men, and withhold what God has given them of His favor —

اِ۬لذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَامُرُونَ اَ۬لنَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَآ ءَات۪يٰهُمُ اُ۬للَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦۖ

And those who spend their goods for show before men, and believe neither in God nor in the Last Day —

وَالذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ رِئَآءَ اَ۬لنَّاسِ وَلَا يُومِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ اِ۬لَاخِرِۖ

And what would it cost them, if they believed in God and the Last Day, and spent from what God provided them?

وَمَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَ اٰمَنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ اِ۬لَاخِرِ وَأَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ اُ۬للَّهُۖ

God does no wrong, even the weight of a particle.

اِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٖۖ

O you who have believed! Do not approach the Contact while intoxicated, until you know what you are saying, nor soiled — except when passing along a way — until you have washed yourselves.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقْرَبُواْ اُ۬لصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَٰر۪ىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعْلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَا جُنُباً اِلَّا عَابِرِے سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىٰ تَغْتَسِلُواْۖ

And if you are sick, or on a journey, or one of you has come from relieving himself, or you have known a woman in intimacy, and you find no water, then aim at a wholesome outcrop, and wipe your faces and your hands with it;

وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْض۪ىٰٓ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَآءَ احَدٞ مِّنكُم مِّنَ اَ۬لْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لَٰمَسْتُمُ اُ۬لنِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَآءٗ فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيداٗ طَيِّباٗ فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمُۥٓۖ

God knows best your enemies.

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَعْدَآئِكُمْۖ

Among the Reoriented, there are some who garble words, away from their context, and say: "We have heard and disobeyed", and: "Listen, without being made to hear", and: "Disdain us", twisting their tongues and attacking the Law.

۞ مِّنَ اَ۬لذِينَ هَادُواْ يُحَرِّفُونَ اَ۬لْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَاسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٖ وَرَٰعِنَا لَيّاَۢ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْناٗ فِے اِ۬لدِّينِۖ

And had they said: "We have heard and we have deferred", and: "Listen", and: "Look at us", it would have been better for them, and more upright;

وَلَوَ اَنَّهُمْ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَاسْمَعْ وَانظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْراٗ لَّهُمْ وَأَقْوَمَۖ

O you to whom the Scripture was given! Believe in what We have sent down, confirming what is with you, before We obliterate faces, to bring them back rearward, or curse them as We cursed the companions of the Rest.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ أُوتُواْ اُ۬لْكِتَٰبَ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقاٗ لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهاٗ فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبٰ۪رِهَآ أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ اَ۬لسَّبْتِۖ

God indeed does not forgive that anything be associated with Him,

اِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهِۦۖ

but He forgives what is short of that to whom He wills.

وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَآءُۖ

Have you not seen those who declare themselves pure?

اَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى اَ۬لذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُمۖ

God, rather, purifies whom He wills,

بَلِ اِ۬للَّهُ يُزَكِّے مَنْ يَّشَآءُۖ

Those are the ones God has cursed;

ا۟وْلَٰٓئِكَ اَ۬لذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اُ۬للَّهُۖ

Or do they envy men for what God has given them of His favor?

اَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ اَ۬لنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَات۪يٰهُمُ اُ۬للَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦۖ

Among them, there are some who believed in it, and some who held back from it.

فَمِنْهُم مَّنَ اٰمَنَ بِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مَّن صَدَّ عَنْهُۖ

Those who disowned Our signs, We will indeed burn them in a fire.

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا سَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِمْ نَاراٗۖ

Every time their skins are consumed, We will replace them with other skins, so that they may taste the punishment,

كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلْنَٰهُمْ جُلُوداً غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوقُواْ اُ۬لْعَذَابَۖ

And those who have believed and done sound deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, forever.

وَالذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجْرِے مِن تَحْتِهَا اَ۬لَانْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداٗۖ

They will have therein purified spouses,

لَّهُمْ فِيهَآ أَزْوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞۖ

God orders you to restore trusts to their rightful owners, and, when you judge between men, to judge with justice.

۞ اِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ يَامُرُكُمُۥٓ أَن تُوَ۬دُّواْ اُ۬لَامَٰنَٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ اَ۬لنَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُواْ بِالْعَدْلِۖ

How excellent is that to which God exhorts you!

إِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦٓۖ

O you who have believed! Defer to God, defer to the messenger, and to those among you who hold command.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ اُ۬لرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِے اِ۬لَامْرِ مِنكُمْۖ

And if you dispute among yourselves over something, refer it to God and to the messenger, if you believe in God and the Last Day.

فَإِن تَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِے شَےْءٖ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اَ۬للَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُومِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ اِ۬لَاخِرِۖ

Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what has been sent down to you and in what was sent down before you, and who want to bring their dispute before the Overreacher, though they have been ordered to disown it?

اَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى اَ۬لذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمُۥٓ ءَامَنُواْ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَّتَحَاكَمُوٓاْ إِلَى اَ۬لطَّٰغُوتِ وَقَدُ ا۟مِرُوٓاْ أَنْ يَّكْفُرُواْ بِهِۦۖ

And We sent no messenger except that he be deferred to, with God's permission.

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ اِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ

And had We prescribed for them: "Kill one another", or: "Leave your abodes", they would not have done it, except a small number of them.

وَلَوَ اَنَّا كَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمُۥٓ أَنُ اُ۟قْتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمُۥٓ أَوُ اُ۟خْرُجُواْ مِن دِيٰ۪رِكُم مَّا فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ مِّنْهُمْۖ

And whoever defers to God and the messenger, those will be with those God has blessed, among the informants, the veracious, the witnesses, and those who are sound.

وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اِ۬للَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ اَ۬لذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اَ۬للَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ اَ۬لنَّبِيٓـِٕۧنَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَآءِ وَالصَّٰلِحِينَۖ

That is the favor from God,

ذَٰلِكَ اَ۬لْفَضْلُ مِنَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

And there is surely among you one who deliberately lags behind;

وَإِنَّ مِنكُمْ لَمَن لَّيُبَطِّئَنَّۖ

So let those fight in the way of God who sell the near life for the last life.

۞ فَلْيُقَٰتِلْ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِ اِ۬لذِينَ يَشْرُونَ اَ۬لْحَيَوٰةَ اَ۬لدُّنْي۪ا بِالَاخِرَةِۖ

Those who have believed fight in the way of God,

اِ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ

and those who disown fight in the way of the Overreacher.

وَالذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬لطَّٰغُوتِۖ

So fight the allies of the Diverter,

فَقَٰتِلُوٓاْ أَوْلِيَآءَ اَ۬لشَّيْطَٰنِۖ

Have you not seen those to whom it was said: "Hold back your hands, maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality"?

اَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى اَ۬لذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوٓاْ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَقِيمُواْ اَ۬لصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ اُ۬لزَّكَوٰةَۖ

Then, when combat was prescribed for them, behold, a fraction among them dreads men as one dreads God, or with an even more intense dread,

فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ اُ۬لْقِتَالُ إِذَا فَرِيقٞ مِّنْهُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ اَ۬لنَّاسَ كَخَشْيَةِ اِ۬للَّهِ أَوَ اَشَدَّ خَشْيَةٗۖ

and they say: "Our Guardian, why have You prescribed combat for us? Why did You not adjourn us until a near term!"

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لِمَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا اَ۬لْقِتَالَ لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْتَنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ قَرِيبٖۖ

Say: "The enjoyment of the near life is little,

قُلْ مَتَٰعُ اُ۬لدُّنْي۪ا قَلِيلٞۖ

and the last life is better for whoever guards himself,

وَالَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٞ لِّمَنِ اِ۪تَّق۪ىٰۖ

Wherever you are, death will overtake you, even were you in impregnable towers.

اَيْنَمَا تَكُونُواْ يُدْرِككُّمُ اُ۬لْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِے بُرُوجٖ مُّشَيَّدَةٖۖ

And if good betides them, they say: "This is from God";

وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٞ يَقُولُواْ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنْ عِندِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ

and if evil strikes them, they say: "This is from you."

وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٞ يَقُولُواْ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنْ عِندِكَۖ

Say: "All comes from God."

قُلْ كُلّٞ مِّنْ عِندِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ

What betides you of good comes from God,

۞ مَّآ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٖ فَمِنَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

and what strikes you of evil comes from yourself.

وَمَآ أَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةٖ فَمِن نَّفْسِكَۖ

And We sent you to mankind as a messenger.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولاٗۖ

Whoever defers to the messenger defers to God,

مَّنْ يُّطِعِ اِ۬لرَّسُولَ فَقَدَ اَطَاعَ اَ۬للَّهَۖ

And they say: "Deference",

وَيَقُولُونَ طَاعَةٞۖ

but when they leave you, a group among them schemes by night something quite different from what they say.

فَإِذَا بَرَزُواْ مِنْ عِندِكَ بَيَّتَ طَآئِفَةٞ مِّنْهُمْ غَيْرَ اَ۬لذِے تَقُولُۖ

God records what they scheme by night.

وَاللَّهُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُونَۖ

Turn away from them, then, and entrust yourself to God.

فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اَ۬للَّهِۖ

Do they not then ponder the Recitation?

اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ اَ۬لْقُرْءَانَۖ

And when news reaches them, reassuring or alarming, they broadcast it;

وَإِذَا جَآءَهُمُۥٓ أَمْرٞ مِّنَ اَ۬لَامْنِ أَوِ اِ۬لْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُواْ بِهِۦۖ

but had they referred it to the messenger and to those among them who hold command, those among them who seek to draw out its substance would have known it.

وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى اَ۬لرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰٓ أُوْلِے اِ۬لَامْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ اُ۬لذِينَ يَسْتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنْهُمْۖ

So fight in the way of God:

فَقَٰتِلْ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ

you are charged only with yourself.

لَا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَۖ

And incite the believers.

وَحَرِّضِ اِ۬لْمُومِنِينَۖ

It may be that God will restrain the violence of those who disown.

عَسَى اَ۬للَّهُ أَنْ يَّكُفَّ بَأْسَ اَ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْۖ

Whoever conducts a good mediation will have a portion of it;

مَّنْ يَّشْفَعْ شَفَٰعَةً حَسَنَةٗ يَكُن لَّهُۥ نَصِيبٞ مِّنْهَاۖ

and whoever conducts an evil mediation will bear his part of it.

وَمَنْ يَّشْفَعْ شَفَٰعَةٗ سَيِّئَةٗ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كِفْلٞ مِّنْهَاۖ

And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a more beautiful greeting, or give it back,

وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٖ فَحَيُّواْ بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَآ أَوْ رُدُّوهَآۖ

God, there is no deity but Him.

۞ اِ۬للَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ

He will surely bring you together on the Day of Appearance, about which there is no doubt.

لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمُۥٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ اِ۬لْقِيَٰمَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِۖ

What is with you, then, concerning the hypocrites, that you form two battalions, when God has cast them back for what they have earned?

فَمَا لَكُمْ فِے اِ۬لْمُنَٰفِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللَّهُ أَرْكَسَهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوٓاْۖ

Do you want to guide him whom God has led astray?

أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَهْدُواْ مَنَ اَضَلَّ اَ۬للَّهُۖ

They would like you to disown as they disowned, so that you might be equal;

وَدُّواْ لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُواْ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءٗۖ

If they turn their backs, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take, among them, neither ally nor helper — except those who join a people between whom and you there is a solemn engagement, or who come to you

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَخُذُوهُمْ وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنْهُمْ وَلِيّاٗ وَلَا نَصِيراً اِلَّا اَ۬لذِينَ يَصِلُونَ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٌ اَوْ جَآءُوكُمْۖ

with their chests constrained at the thought of fighting you, or fighting their own people.

حَصِرَتْ صُدُورُهُمُۥٓ أَنْ يُّقَٰتِلُوكُمُۥٓ أَوْ يُقَٰتِلُواْ قَوْمَهُمْۖ

And had God willed, He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you.

وَلَوْ شَآءَ اَ۬للَّهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلَقَٰتَلُوكُمْۖ

You will find others who want to be secure with you and secure with their own people; every time they are brought back to the trial, they plunge back into it.

سَتَجِدُونَ ءَاخَرِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَّامَنُوكُمْ وَيَامَنُواْ قَوْمَهُمْ كُلَّ مَا رُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى اَ۬لْفِتْنَةِ أُرْكِسُواْ فِيهَاۖ

If they do not keep away from you, do not offer you peace, and do not restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you surprise them.

فَإِن لَّمْ يَعْتَزِلُوكُمْ وَيُلْقُوٓاْ إِلَيْكُمُ اُ۬لسَّلَمَ وَيَكُفُّوٓاْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَخُذُوهُمْ وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْۖ

And it is not for a believer to kill a believer,

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُومِنٍ اَنْ يَّقْتُلَ مُومِناًۖ

except by mistake.

اِلَّا خَطَـٔاٗۖ

And whoever kills a believer by mistake must restore the independence of a believing person bound by a debt, as well as a compensation delivered to his family, unless they forgo it as charity.

وَمَن قَتَلَ مُومِناً خَطَـٔاٗ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّومِنَةٖ وَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَنْ يَّصَّدَّقُواْۖ

And if the slain belonged to a people hostile to you, while being a believer, then restoring the independence of a believing person bound by a debt.

فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمٍ عَدُوّٖ لَّكُمْ وَهُوَ مُومِنٞ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّومِنَةٖۖ

And if he belonged to a people between whom and you there is a solemn engagement, then a compensation delivered to his family, and restoring the independence of a believing person bound by a debt.

وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوْمِۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٞ فَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّومِنَةٖۖ

And whoever does not find the means, then an abstinence of two consecutive months, as a turning back coming from God.

۞ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةٗ مِّنَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

O you who have believed! When you travel in the way of God, distinguish clearly,

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُواْۖ

and do not say to one who offers you peace: "You are not a believer", seeking the fleeting goods of the near life; but, with God, there are abundant spoils.

وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَنَ اَلْق۪ىٰٓ إِلَيْكُمُ اُ۬لسَّلَمَ لَسْتَ مُومِناٗ تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ اَ۬لْحَيَوٰةِ اِ۬لدُّنْي۪ا فَعِندَ اَ۬للَّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَةٞۖ

Thus were you before, and God graced you.

كَذَٰلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اَ۬للَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْۖ

So distinguish clearly,

فَتَبَيَّنُوٓاْۖ

Not equal are those of the believers who remain seated, apart from those with disabilities, and those who strive in the way of God with their goods and their Selves.

لَّا يَسْتَوِے اِ۬لْقَٰعِدُونَ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُومِنِينَ غَيْرَ أُوْلِے اِ۬لضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَٰهِدُونَ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْۖ

God has favored by one degree those who strive with their goods and their Selves above those who remain seated.

فَضَّلَ اَ۬للَّهُ اُ۬لْمُجَٰهِدِينَ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ عَلَى اَ۬لْقَٰعِدِينَ دَرَجَةٗۖ

and God has favored those who strive, above those who remain seated, with an immense reward — degrees from Him, and forgiveness, and benevolence;

وَفَضَّلَ اَ۬للَّهُ اُ۬لْمُجَٰهِدِينَ عَلَى اَ۬لْقَٰعِدِينَ أَجْراً عَظِيماٗ دَرَجَٰتٖ مِّنْهُ وَمَغْفِرَةٗ وَرَحْمَةٗۖ

Indeed, those whom the Agents keep faithfully while they are wronging themselves — they say: "In what situation were you?"

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ تَوَفّ۪يٰهُمُ اُ۬لْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِےٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ قَالُواْ فِيمَ كُنتُمْۖ

They say: "We were reduced to weakness on the earth."

قَالُواْ كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

As for those, it may be that God will overlook it for them.

فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَسَى اَ۬للَّهُ أَنْ يَّعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْۖ

And whoever emigrates in the way of God will find, on the earth, an abundant refuge and ampleness.

۞ وَمَنْ يُّهَاجِرْ فِے سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِ يَجِدْ فِے اِ۬لَارْضِ مُرَٰغَماٗ كَثِيراٗ وَسَعَةٗۖ

And whoever leaves his house, emigrating toward God and His messenger, and is then overtaken by death, his reward is henceforth incumbent upon God.

وَمَنْ يَّخْرُجْ مِنۢ بَيْتِهِۦ مُهَاجِراً اِلَى اَ۬للَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ اُ۬لْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُۥ عَلَى اَ۬للَّهِۖ

And when you travel through the land, no blame upon you for shortening the Contact, if you fear that those who disown may try you;

وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِے اِ۬لَارْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَن تَقْصُرُواْ مِنَ اَ۬لصَّلَوٰةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمُۥٓ أَنْ يَّفْتِنَكُمُ اُ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْۖ

And when you are among them, and you lead the Contact for them, let a group of them stand with you, and let them take their arms.

وَإِذَا كُنتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ اُ۬لصَّلَوٰةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَآئِفَةٞ مِّنْهُم مَّعَكَ وَلْيَاخُذُوٓاْ أَسْلِحَتَهُمْۖ

Then, when they have prostrated, let them pass behind you,

فَإِذَا سَجَدُواْ فَلْيَكُونُواْ مِنْ وَّرَآئِكُمْۖ

and let another group, who has not yet made the Contact, come to make it with you, taking their precautions and their arms.

وَلْتَاتِ طَآئِفَةٌ ا۟خْر۪ىٰ لَمْ يُصَلُّواْ فَلْيُصَلُّواْ مَعَكَ وَلْيَاخُذُواْ حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْۖ

Those who disown would like you to neglect your arms and your baggage, so as to swoop down upon you in a single rush.

وَدَّ اَ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنَ اَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُم مَّيْلَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۖ

And no blame upon you, if rain is a nuisance to you or you are sick, for laying down your arms;

وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمُۥٓ إِن كَانَ بِكُمُۥٓ أَذىٗ مِّن مَّطَرٍ اَوْ كُنتُم مَّرْض۪ىٰٓ أَن تَضَعُوٓاْ أَسْلِحَتَكُمْۖ

but take your precautions,

وَخُذُواْ حِذْرَكُمُۥٓۖ

And when you have concluded the Contact, remember God, standing, sitting, or lying on your sides.

فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ اُ۬لصَّلَوٰةَ فَاذْكُرُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ قِيَٰماٗ وَقُعُوداٗ وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْۖ

Then, once calm, maintain the Contact,

فَإِذَا اَ۪طْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُواْ اُ۬لصَّلَوٰةَۖ

And do not slacken in seeking that people.

وَلَا تَهِنُواْ فِے اِ۪بْتِغَآءِ اِ۬لْقَوْمِۖ

If you suffer, they indeed suffer as you suffer; but you hope from God what they do not hope.

إِن تَكُونُواْ تَالَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَالَمُونَ كَمَا تَالَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ اَ۬للَّهِ مَا لَا يَرْجُونَۖ

We have sent down to you the Scripture in truth, so that you may judge between men according to what God has shown you.

۞ اِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ اَ۬لْكِتَٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ اَ۬لنَّاسِ بِمَآ أَر۪يٰكَ اَ۬للَّهُۖ

And ask God's forgiveness,

وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اِ۬للَّهَۖ

And do not argue in favor of those who betray themselves,

وَلَا تُجَٰدِلْ عَنِ اِ۬لذِينَ يَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَهُمُۥٓۖ

They hide from men, and do not hide from God, while He is with them when they scheme by night sayings He does not approve.

يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ اَ۬لنَّاسِ وَلَا يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ اَ۬للَّهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمُۥٓ إِذْ يُبَيِّتُونَ مَا لَا يَرْض۪ىٰ مِنَ اَ۬لْقَوْلِۖ

And whoever acquires a transgression acquires it only against his own Self.

وَمَنْ يَّكْسِبِ اِثْماٗ فَإِنَّمَا يَكْسِبُهُۥ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦۖ

And without God's favor upon you and His benevolence, a group among them would have been minded to lead you astray;

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اُ۬للَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَهَمَّت طَّآئِفَةٞ مِّنْهُمُۥٓ أَنْ يُّضِلُّوكَۖ

but they lead astray none but themselves, and they cannot harm you at all.

وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَضُرُّونَكَ مِن شَےْءٖۖ

And God has sent down upon you the Scripture and the wisdom, and taught you what you did not know.

وَأَنزَلَ اَ۬للَّهُ عَلَيْكَ اَ۬لْكِتَٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُن تَعْلَمُۖ

There is no good in most of their secret talks, except for one who orders an act of charity, or what is recognized, or a reconciliation between men.

۞ لَّا خَيْرَ فِے كَثِيرٖ مِّن نَّجْو۪يٰهُمُۥٓ إِلَّا مَنَ اَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ اَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ اَوِ اِصْلَٰحِۢ بَيْنَ اَ۬لنَّاسِۖ

And whoever sets himself in breach against the messenger, after guidance has become clear to him, and follows a way other than that of the believers, We will leave him to what he has turned to, and We will burn him in Jahannam.

وَمَنْ يُّشَاقِقِ اِ۬لرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ اُ۬لْهُد۪ىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ اِ۬لْمُومِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِۦ مَا تَوَلّ۪ىٰ وَنُصْلِهِۦ جَهَنَّمَۖ

God indeed does not forgive that anything be associated with Him,

اِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهِۦ

but He forgives what is short of that to whom He wills.

وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَآءُۖ

who said: "I will surely take, among Your obedient ones, a fixed portion; I will surely lead them astray, I will surely give them vain hopes, I will surely order them to slit the ears of cattle, and I will surely order them to alter God's creation."

وَقَالَ لَأَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيباٗ مَّفْرُوضاٗ وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَأٓمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ اَ۬لَانْعَٰمِ وَلَأٓمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

He makes them promises and gives them vain hopes,

يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْۖ

Those are the ones whose resort will be Jahannam,

ا۟وْلَٰٓئِكَ مَأْو۪يٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ

And those who have believed and done sound deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, forever.

وَالذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجْرِے مِن تَحْتِهَا اَ۬لَانْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداٗۖ

A promise of God, in truth.

وَعْدَ اَ۬للَّهِ حَقّاٗۖ

It does not depend on your wishes, nor on the wishes of the people of the Scripture.

لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَآ أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ اِ۬لْكِتَٰبِۖ

And who has a more beautiful Law than one who has made his direction true to God alone, while doing good, and followed the doctrine of Ibrahim, wholly turned toward God?

وَمَنَ اَحْسَنُ دِيناٗ مِّمَّنَ اَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُۥ لِلهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٞ وَاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفاٗۖ

And to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

وَلِلهِ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

And they consult you concerning women.

وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِے اِ۬لنِّسَآءِۖ

Say: "God enlightens you concerning them, as well as what is recited to you in the Scripture concerning the orphan girls to whom you do not give what is prescribed for them, while yearning to marry them, and the children reduced to weakness, and to conduct yourselves with the orphans in complete equity.

قُلِ اِ۬للَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ وَمَا يُتْل۪ىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فِے اِ۬لْكِتَٰبِ فِے يَتَٰمَى اَ۬لنِّسَآءِ اِ۬لتِے لَا تُوتُونَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ اَ۬لْوِلْدَٰنِ وَأَن تَقُومُواْ لِلْيَتَٰم۪ىٰ بِالْقِسْطِۖ

And if a woman fears from her husband persistent hostility or a turning away, no blame upon them to reconcile through an agreement;

وَإِنِ اِ۪مْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنۢ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزاً اَوِ اِعْرَاضاٗ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ أَنْ يَّصَّٰلَحَا بَيْنَهُمَا صُلْحاٗۖ

and reconciliation is better.

وَالصُّلْحُ خَيْرٞۖ

And greed is ever present to the Selves;

وَأُحْضِرَتِ اِ۬لَانفُسُ اُ۬لشُّحَّۖ

And you will never be able to be just between women, even if you are keen on it;

وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُوٓاْ أَن تَعْدِلُواْ بَيْنَ اَ۬لنِّسَآءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْۖ

so do not lean entirely, to the point of forsaking the other as though hanging.

فَلَا تَمِيلُواْ كُلَّ اَ۬لْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِۖ

And if they separate, God will enrich each of them from His abundance.

۞ وَإِنْ يَّتَفَرَّقَا يُغْنِ اِ۬للَّهُ كُلّاٗ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦۖ

And to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

وَلِلهِ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

And We have indeed recommended to those to whom the Scripture was given before you, and to yourselves, to guard yourselves toward God.

وَلَقَدْ وَصَّيْنَا اَ۬لذِينَ أُوتُواْ اُ۬لْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمُۥٓ أَنِ اِ۪تَّقُواْ اُ۬للَّهَۖ

And if you disown, to God indeed belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

وَإِن تَكْفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ لِلهِ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

And to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

وَلِلهِ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

If He wills, He makes you disappear, O mankind, and brings others.

اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمُۥٓ أَيُّهَا اَ۬لنَّاسُ وَيَاتِ بِـَٔاخَرِينَۖ

Whoever wants the requital of the near life — with God is the requital of the near life and of the last life.

مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ثَوَابَ اَ۬لدُّنْي۪ا فَعِندَ اَ۬للَّهِ ثَوَابُ اُ۬لدُّنْي۪ا وَالَاخِرَةِۖ

O you who have believed! Be firm supporters in equity, witnesses for God, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمُۥٓ أَوِ اِ۬لْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَالَاقْرَبِينَۖ

Whether he be rich or poor, God is closer to them both; so do not follow emotion, to the point of no longer being just.

إِنْ يَّكُنْ غَنِيّاً اَوْ فَقِيراٗ فَاللَّهُ أَوْل۪ىٰ بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ اُ۬لْهَو۪ىٰٓ أَن تَعْدِلُواْۖ

O you who have believed! Believe in God, in His messenger, in the Scripture He sent down upon His messenger, and in the Scripture He sent down before.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ ءَامِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَالْكِتَٰبِ اِ۬لذِے نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَالْكِتَٰبِ اِ۬لذِےٓ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُۖ

Announce to the hypocrites that they will have a painful punishment — those who take those who disown as allies, besides the believers.

بَشِّرِ اِ۬لْمُنَٰفِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَاباً اَلِيماً اِ۬لذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ اَ۬لْكٰ۪فِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ اِ۬لْمُومِنِينَۖ

And He has already sent down to you, in the Scripture: when you hear the signs of God being disowned and mocked, do not remain seated with them, until they immerse themselves in another discourse;

۞ وَقَدْ نُزِّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِے اِ۬لْكِتَٰبِ أَنِ اِذَا سَمِعْتُمُۥٓ ءَايَٰتِ اِ۬للَّهِ يُكْفَرُ بِهَا وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْعُدُواْ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُواْ فِے حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِۦٓۖ

God will indeed bring together the hypocrites and those who disown, all together, in Jahannam — those who bide their time: if an opening comes to you from God, they say: "Were we not with you?" and if a portion falls to those who disown, they say: "Did we not take hold of you, and did we not insulate you from the believers?"

إِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ جَامِعُ اُ۬لْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَالْكٰ۪فِرِينَ فِے جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيعاً اِ۬لذِينَ يَتَرَبَّصُونَ بِكُمْ فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ فَتْحٞ مِّنَ اَ۬للَّهِ قَالُوٓاْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ وَإِن كَانَ لِلْكٰ۪فِرِينَ نَصِيبٞ قَالُوٓاْ أَلَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَنَمْنَعْكُم مِّنَ اَ۬لْمُومِنِينَۖ

God will judge between you, on the Day of Appearance;

فَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ اَ۬لْقِيَٰمَةِۖ

And when they rise for the Contact, they rise lazily, acting out of ostentation before men, and remember God only a little, wavering between the two, neither on one side nor the other.

وَإِذَا قَامُوٓاْ إِلَى اَ۬لصَّلَوٰةِ قَامُواْ كُسَال۪ىٰ يُرَآءُونَ اَ۬لنَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اَ۬للَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلاٗ مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَلَآ إِلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۖ

O you who have believed! Do not take those who disown as allies, besides the believers.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ اُ۬لْكٰ۪فِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ اِ۬لْمُومِنِينَۖ

except those who turn back, become sound, hold firmly to God, and devote their Law exclusively to God: those are the ones who are with the believers,

اِلَّا اَ۬لذِينَ تَابُواْ وَأَصْلَحُواْ وَاعْتَصَمُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَأَخْلَصُواْ دِينَهُمْ لِلهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ اَ۬لْمُومِنِينَۖ

What would God do with your punishment, if you are grateful and believing?

مَّا يَفْعَلُ اُ۬للَّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمُۥٓ إِن شَكَرْتُمْ وَءَامَنتُمْۖ

God does not love that evil be said aloud, except from one who has been wronged.

۞ لَّا يُحِبُّ اُ۬للَّهُ اُ۬لْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوٓءِ مِنَ اَ۬لْقَوْلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَۖ

Those who disown God and His messengers, and want to separate God from His messengers, saying: "We believe in part, and we disown part", wanting to carve out a way between the two — those are the true disowners.

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ يَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُّفَرِّقُواْ بَيْنَ اَ۬للَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ نُومِنُ بِبَعْضٖ وَنَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٖ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَّتَّخِذُواْ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلاً ا۟وْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ اُ۬لْكَٰفِرُونَ حَقّاٗۖ

And those who have believed in God and His messengers, and have made no distinction between any of them, to those He will soon give their rewards.

وَالذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُفَرِّقُواْ بَيْنَ أَحَدٖ مِّنْهُمُۥٓ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ سَوْفَ نُوتِيهِمُۥٓ أُجُورَهُمْۖ

The people of the Scripture ask you to send down upon them a scripture from the sky.

يَسْـَٔلُكَ أَهْلُ اُ۬لْكِتَٰبِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتَٰباٗ مِّنَ اَ۬لسَّمَآءِۖ

They indeed asked Moussa something greater than that, saying: "Show us God openly"; the thunderbolt then seized them for their wrongdoing.

فَقَدْ سَأَلُواْ مُوس۪ىٰٓ أَكْبَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَقَالُوٓاْ أَرِنَا اَ۬للَّهَ جَهْرَةٗ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ اُ۬لصَّٰعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْۖ

Then they took the calf, after the clear proofs had come to them; but We overlooked that,

ثُمَّ اَ۪تَّخَذُواْ اُ۬لْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ اُ۬لْبَيِّنَٰتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَن ذَٰلِكَۖ

And We elevated above them the Mount, by virtue of their solemn engagement,

وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَهُمُ اُ۬لطُّورَ بِمِيثَٰقِهِمْۖ

and We said to them: "Enter by the gate, prostrate",

وَقُلْنَا لَهُمُ اُ۟دْخُلُواْ اُ۬لْبَابَ سُجَّداٗۖ

and We said to them: "Do not cross the limits concerning the Rest",

وَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ لَا تَعَدُّواْ فِے اِ۬لسَّبْتِۖ

It is for having broken their solemn engagement, disowned the signs of God, killed the informants without right, and said: "Our cores are wrapped up" — no, it is God who stamped their cores for their disowning, so that they believe only a little — and for their disowning, and their imputation against Maryam of an immense slander, and for having said: "We indeed killed Al-Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, the messenger of God",

فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِم بِـَٔايَٰتِ اِ۬للَّهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ اُ۬لَانۢبِئَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقّٖ وَقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفُۢ بَلْ طَبَعَ اَ۬للَّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُومِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلاٗ وَبِكُفْرِهِمْ وَقَوْلِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَرْيَمَ بُهْتَٰناً عَظِيماٗ وَقَوْلِهِمُۥٓ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا اَ۬لْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى اَ۪بْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ

when they did not kill him and did not fix him to the stake, but it was made to look alike to them.

۞ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْۖ

And those who differ about it are surely in doubt concerning it.

وَإِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ اَ۪خْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِے شَكّٖ مِّنْهُۖ

They have no knowledge of it,

مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍۖ

except following presumption.

اِلَّا اَ۪تِّبَاعَ اَ۬لظَّنِّۖ

God, rather, elevated him to Himself.

بَل رَّفَعَهُ اُ۬للَّهُ إِلَيْهِۖ

It is for the wrongdoing of the Reoriented that We prohibited to them wholesome things that had been permitted to them, and for having greatly barred from the way of God, and for having practiced usury, though they had been forbidden it, and devoured the goods of men through falsehood.

فَبِظُلْمٖ مِّنَ اَ۬لذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَٰتٍ ا۟حِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَبِصَدِّهِمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِ كَثِيراٗ وَأَخْذِهِمُ اُ۬لرِّبَوٰاْ وَقَدْ نُهُواْ عَنْهُ وَأَكْلِهِمُۥٓ أَمْوَٰلَ اَ۬لنَّاسِ بِالْبَٰطِلِۖ

But those among them who are deeply rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what has been sent down to you and in what was sent down before you, as well as those who maintain the Contact,

لَّٰكِنِ اِ۬لرَّٰسِخُونَ فِے اِ۬لْعِلْمِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْمُومِنُونَ يُومِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَالْمُقِيمِينَ اَ۬لصَّلَوٰةَۖ

We have indeed revealed to you, as We revealed to Nuh and the informants after him,

اِنَّآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ كَمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ نُوحٖ وَالنَّبِيٓـِٕۧنَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦۖ

And messengers whose account We have already related to you, and messengers whose account We have not related to you;

وَرُسُلاٗ قَدْ قَصَصْنَٰهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَرُسُلاٗ لَّمْ نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَۖ

Messengers, bearers of good tidings and warners, so that men might have no argument against God after the messengers.

رُّسُلاٗ مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِيَ۬لَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اَ۬للَّهِ حُجَّةُۢ بَعْدَ اَ۬لرُّسُلِۖ

But God testifies to what He has sent down to you;

۞ لَّٰكِنِ اِ۬للَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ إِلَيْكَۖ

He sent it down with His knowledge, and the Agents bear witness to it.

أَنزَلَهُۥ بِعِلْمِهِۦ وَالْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَشْهَدُونَۖ

Indeed, those who disowned and did wrong — it is not for God to forgive them, nor to guide them to a road, except the road of Jahannam, wherein they will abide eternally, forever.

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَظَلَمُواْ لَمْ يَكُنِ اِ۬للَّهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيقاً اِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداٗۖ

O mankind! The messenger has come to you with the truth, from your Guardian; believe, then, it is better for you.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ اُ۬لرَّسُولُ بِالْحَقِّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَـَٔامِنُواْ خَيْراٗ لَّكُمْۖ

And if you disown, to God indeed belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth.

وَإِن تَكْفُرُواْ فَإِنَّ لِلهِ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالَارْضِۖ

O people of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your Law, and say about God nothing but the truth.

يَٰٓأَهْلَ اَ۬لْكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغْلُواْ فِے دِينِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى اَ۬للَّهِ إِلَّا اَ۬لْحَقَّۖ

Al-Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, is only the messenger of God, and His word,

إِنَّمَا اَ۬لْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى اَ۪بْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اُ۬للَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥٓۖ

which He addressed to Maryam, and an Influx from Him.

أَلْق۪يٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٞ مِّنْهُۖ

So believe in God and His messengers,

فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ

and do not say: "Three".

وَلَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌۖ

Cease: that is better for you.

اِ۪نتَهُواْ خَيْراٗ لَّكُمُۥٓۖ

God is only one deity.

إِنَّمَا اَ۬للَّهُ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ

Glory be to Him! He is above having a child.

سُبْحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَنْ يَّكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۖ

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

لَّهُۥ مَا فِے اِ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِے اِ۬لَارْضِۖ

Al-Massih will never disdain to be obedient to God, nor will the Agents brought near.

لَّنْ يَّسْتَنكِفَ اَ۬لْمَسِيحُ أَنْ يَّكُونَ عَبْداٗ لِّلهِ وَلَا اَ۬لْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ اُ۬لْمُقَرَّبُونَۖ

As for those who have believed and done sound deeds, He will faithfully repay them their rewards, and He will give them more of His favor;

فَأَمَّا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمُۥٓ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦۖ

They consult you.

يَسْتَفْتُونَكَۖ

Say: "God enlightens you concerning the kalala.

قُلِ اِ۬للَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِے اِ۬لْكَلَٰلَةِۖ

If a man perishes without a child, but has a sister, to her belongs half of what he leaves;

إِنِ اِ۪مْرُؤٌاْ هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞ وَلَهُۥٓ أُخْتٞ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَۖ

and he inherits from her, if she has no child.

وَهُوَ يَرِثُهَآ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهَا وَلَدٞۖ

But if there are two, then to them belong two-thirds of what he leaves;

فَإِن كَانَتَا اَ۪ثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُمَا اَ۬لثُّلُثَٰنِ مِمَّا تَرَكَۖ

and if there are several, brothers and sisters, then to the male, the equivalent of the share of two females.

وَإِن كَانُوٓاْ إِخْوَةٗ رِّجَالاٗ وَنِسَآءٗ فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اِ۬لُانثَيَيْنِۖ

God explains this to you, so that you do not go astray;

يُبَيِّنُ اُ۬للَّهُ لَكُمُۥٓ أَن تَضِلُّواْۖ
