An-Nisa
Reduced to Weakness
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.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يايها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس وحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا كثيرا ونساءAnd guard yourselves toward God, in whose name you appeal to one another, and [respect] the ties of kinship.
واتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والارحامGod is indeed, over you, an Observer.
ان الله كان عليكم رقيباAnd give the orphans their goods,
وءاتوا اليتمى امولهمand do not substitute the vile for the good,
ولا تتبدلوا الخبيث بالطيبand do not devour their goods with yours:
ولا تاكلوا امولهم الى امولكمthat is indeed a grave offense.
انه كان حوبا كبيراAnd if you fear not being equitable toward the orphans, marry then those women who are agreeable to you, two, three, or four;
وان خفتم الا تقسطوا في اليتمى فانكحوا ما طاب لكم من النساء مثنى وثلث وربعand if you fear not being just, then only one, or those to whom you are bound by oath.
فان خفتم الا تعدلوا فوحدة او ما ملكت ايمنكمThat is closest to sparing you from being overburdened by the weight of a family (too large to bear).
ذلك ادنى الا تعولواAnd give women their dowries, as an attribution of full right.
وءاتوا النساء صدقتهن نحلةThen, if they willingly release any of it to you, consume it
فان طبن لكم عن شىء منه نفسا فكلوهpleasantly and wholesomely.
هنيا مرياAnd do not entrust to the foolish your goods, which God has made a support for you;
ولا توتوا السفهاء امولكم التي جعل الله لكم قيماbut feed them from it, clothe them, and speak to them a recognized word.
وارزقوهم فيها واكسوهم وقولوا لهم قولا معروفاAnd 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.
وابتلوا اليتمى حتى اذا بلغوا النكاح فان ءانستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا اليهم امولهم ولا تاكلوها اسرافا وبدارا ان يكبرواAnd whoever is rich, let him abstain;
ومن كان غنيا فليستعففand whoever is poor, let him eat from it reasonably.
ومن كان فقيرا فلياكل بالمعروفAnd when you hand over their goods to them, take witnesses regarding them.
فاذا دفعتم اليهم امولهم فاشهدوا عليهمGod suffices as an accountant.
وكفى بالله حسيباTo men belongs a share of what the two parents and relatives leave, and to women belongs a share of what the two parents and relatives leave, whether little or much —
للرجال نصيب مما ترك الولدان والاقربون وللنساء نصيب مما ترك الولدان والاقربون مما قل منه او كثرa mandatory share.
نصيبا مفروضاAnd when the possessors of kinship ties, the orphans, and the destitute are present at the division, assign them a share from it,
واذا حضر القسمة اولوا القربى واليتمى والمسكين فارزقوهم منهand speak to them a recognized word.
وقولوا لهم قولا معروفاAnd let those fear [doing wrong] who, if they left behind them a vulnerable offspring, would fear for it:
وليخش الذين لو تركوا من خلفهم ذرية ضعفا خافوا عليهمlet them, then, guard themselves toward God, and speak a straightforward word.
فليتقوا الله وليقولوا قولا سديداThose who devour the goods of orphans unjustly are only swallowing fire into their bellies,
ان الذين ياكلون امول اليتمى ظلما انما ياكلون في بطونهم ناراand they will burn in an inferno.
وسيصلون سعيراGod instructs you, concerning your children:
يوصيكم الله في اولدكمto the male, the equivalent of the share of two females.
للذكر مثل حظ الانثيينBut if there are more than two women, two-thirds of what is left belongs to them;
فان كن نساء فوق اثنتين فلهن ثلثا ما تركand if she is alone, half belongs to her.
وان كانت وحدة فلها النصفAnd to his two parents, to each of them, a sixth of what he leaves, if he has a child;
ولابويه لكل وحد منهما السدس مما ترك ان كان له ولدbut if he has no child, and his parents inherit from him, to his mother belongs a third.
فان لم يكن له ولد وورثه ابواه فلامه الثلثIf he has siblings, to his mother belongs a sixth,
فان كان له اخوة فلامه السدسafter [the execution of] a testament he may have made, or a debt.
من بعد وصية يوصي بها او دينYour parents and your children — you do not know which of them are closer to you in benefit:
ءاباوكم وابناوكم لا تدرون ايهم اقرب لكم نفعاit is an obligation from God.
فريضة من اللهGod is indeed All-Knowing, Wise.
ان الله كان عليما حكيماAnd to you belongs half of what your wives leave, if they have no child;
ولكم نصف ما ترك ازوجكم ان لم يكن لهن ولدbut if they have a child, to you belongs a quarter of what they leave, after [the execution of] a testament they may have made, or a debt.
فان كان لهن ولد فلكم الربع مما تركن من بعد وصية يوصين بها او دينAnd to them belongs a quarter of what you leave, if you have no child;
ولهن الربع مما تركتم ان لم يكن لكم ولدbut if you have a child, to them belongs an eighth of what you leave, after [the execution of] a testament you may have made, or a debt.
فان كان لكم ولد فلهن الثمن مما تركتم من بعد وصية توصون بها او دينAnd 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;
وان كان رجل يورث كللة او امراة وله اخ او اخت فلكل وحد منهما السدسbut if they are more numerous than that, they share in the third, after [the execution of] a testament that may have been made, or a debt, without harm [to the heirs].
فان كانوا اكثر من ذلك فهم شركاء في الثلث من بعد وصية يوصى بها او دين غير مضارIt is a recommendation from God.
وصية من اللهGod is All-Knowing, full of patience.
والله عليم حليمThose are the limits of God.
تلك حدود اللهAnd whoever obeys God and His messenger, He admits him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein he will abide eternally.
ومن يطع الله ورسوله يدخله جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيهاThat is the immense triumph.
وذلك الفوز العظيمAnd whoever disobeys God and His messenger, and crosses His limits, He admits him into a fire wherein he will abide eternally,
ومن يعص الله ورسوله ويتعد حدوده يدخله نارا خلدا فيهاand he will have a humiliating punishment.
وله عذاب مهينAnd those of your women who commit indecency, take against them the testimony of four among you;
والتي ياتين الفحشة من نسايكم فاستشهدوا عليهن اربعة منكمand if they testify, then keep them within the household rather than casting them out, until death recalls them [to God], or God opens a way for them.
فان شهدوا فامسكوهن في البيوت حتى يتوفىهن الموت او يجعل الله لهن سبيلاAnd the two among you who commit it, trouble them both with a reproach;
والذان ياتينها منكم فاذوهماbut if they turn back [to God] and reform, turn away from them:
فان تابا واصلحا فاعرضوا عنهماGod is indeed the Ever-Accepter of repentance, Benevolent.
ان الله كان توابا رحيماThe repentance accepted by God concerns only those who do evil out of ignorance, then turn back [to Him] without delay:
انما التوبة على الله للذين يعملون السوء بجهلة ثم يتوبون من قريبthose are the ones toward whom God turns with clemency.
فاوليك يتوب الله عليهمGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
وكان الله عليما حكيماAnd repentance is not accepted for those who commit evil deeds until, when death presents itself to one of them, he says: "I turn back [to God] now" — nor for those who die while disowning:
وليست التوبة للذين يعملون السيات حتى اذا حضر احدهم الموت قال اني تبت الن ولا الذين يموتون وهم كفارthose are the ones for whom We have prepared a painful punishment.
اوليك اعتدنا لهم عذابا اليماO you who have believed! it is not lawful for you to inherit women against their will,
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا يحل لكم ان ترثوا النساء كرهاand do not prevent them [from remarrying] so as to take back part of what you gave them, unless they commit a manifest indecency.
ولا تعضلوهن لتذهبوا ببعض ما ءاتيتموهن الا ان ياتين بفحشة مبينةAnd live with them according to what is recognized.
وعاشروهن بالمعروفIf you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing in which God places much good.
فان كرهتموهن فعسى ان تكرهوا شيا ويجعل الله فيه خيرا كثيراAnd if you want to replace one wife with another, and you have given one of them a treasure, take nothing of it back.
وان اردتم استبدال زوج مكان زوج وءاتيتم احدىهن قنطارا فلا تاخذوا منه شياWould you take it back through slander and manifest transgression?
اتاخذونه بهتنا واثما مبيناAnd how would you take it back, when one of you has already been intimately united with the other, and they took from you a solemn and firm engagement?
وكيف تاخذونه وقد افضى بعضكم الى بعض واخذن منكم ميثقا غليظاAnd do not marry those women whom your ancestors married, except what has already passed.
ولا تنكحوا ما نكح ءاباوكم من النساء الا ما قد سلفIt was indeed an indecency and an abomination,
انه كان فحشة ومقتاand what an evil path!
وساء سبيلاForbidden to you are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters,
حرمت عليكم امهتكم وبناتكم واخوتكم وعمتكم وخلتكم وبنات الاخ وبنات الاختyour mothers who took you into their care, as well as your sisters through shared care,
وامهتكم التي ارضعنكم واخوتكم من الرضعةthe mothers of your wives, your stepdaughters under your care, from wives with whom you have consummated marriage —
وامهت نسايكم وربيبكم التي في حجوركم من نسايكم التي دخلتم بهنbut if you have not consummated marriage with them, no blame upon you —
فان لم تكونوا دخلتم بهن فلا جناح عليكمthe wives of your sons from your own loins,

والمحصنت من النساء الا ما ملكت ايمنكمit is God's Code that binds you.
كتب الله عليكمAnd made lawful to you are all beyond these categories, whom you seek with your goods, as men who commit to the marital bond, not in debauchery.
واحل لكم ما وراء ذلكم ان تبتغوا بامولكم محصنين غير مسفحينAnd for what you have enjoyed with them, give them their rewards, as a fixed obligation.
فما استمتعتم به منهن فاتوهن اجورهن فريضةAnd no blame upon you for what you mutually agree upon, beyond the fixed obligation.
ولا جناح عليكم فيما ترضيتم به من بعد الفريضةGod is indeed All-Knowing, Wise.
ان الله كان عليما حكيماAnd whoever among you lacks the means to marry believing protected women, [let him marry] then one of your believing young women bound by oath.
ومن لم يستطع منكم طولا ان ينكح المحصنت المومنت فمن ما ملكت ايمنكم من فتيتكم المومنتGod knows best your faith;
والله اعلم بايمنكمYou are of one another.
بعضكم من بعضMarry them, then, with the permission of their family,
فانكحوهن باذن اهلهنand give them their rewards according to what is recognized, as protected women, not as promiscuous ones nor as takers of secret lovers.
وءاتوهن اجورهن بالمعروف محصنت غير مسفحت ولا متخذت اخدانAnd once protected, if they commit an indecency, they incur half the punishment of women protected by the marital bond.
فاذا احصن فان اتين بفحشة فعليهن نصف ما على المحصنت من العذابThat, for whoever among you fears falling into [moral] hardship;
ذلك لمن خشي العنت منكمbut to be patient is better for you.
وان تصبروا خير لكمGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
والله غفور رحيمGod wants to make things clear to you, to guide you according to the ways of those who preceded you, and to turn toward you with clemency.
يريد الله ليبين لكم ويهديكم سنن الذين من قبلكم ويتوب عليكمGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
والله عليم حكيمGod wants to turn toward you with clemency,
والله يريد ان يتوب عليكمwhile those who follow their desires want you to deviate greatly.
ويريد الذين يتبعون الشهوت ان تميلوا ميلا عظيماGod wants to lighten [the burden] for you,
يريد الله ان يخفف عنكمfor the human being was created weak.
وخلق الانسن ضعيفاO you who have believed! do not devour your goods among yourselves through falsehood,
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تاكلوا امولكم بينكم بالبطلunless it is a trade concluded with your mutual consent.
الا ان تكون تجرة عن تراض منكمAnd do not kill yourselves:
ولا تقتلوا انفسكمGod is indeed, toward you, Benevolent.
ان الله كان بكم رحيماAnd whoever does that out of hostility and injustice, We will burn him in a fire.
ومن يفعل ذلك عدونا وظلما فسوف نصليه ناراAnd that is, for God, an easy thing.
وكان ذلك على الله يسيراIf you avoid the grave offenses which are forbidden to you, We will cover your evil deeds, and We will admit you into a noble entrance.
ان تجتنبوا كباير ما تنهون عنه نكفر عنكم سياتكم وندخلكم مدخلا كريماAnd do not covet that by which God has favored some of you above others.
ولا تتمنوا ما فضل الله به بعضكم على بعضTo men a share of what they have earned,
للرجال نصيب مما اكتسبواand to women a share of what they have earned.
وللنساء نصيب مما اكتسبنAnd ask God for His favor.
وسلوا الله من فضلهGod is indeed All-Knowing of all things.
ان الله كان بكل شىء عليماAnd to each, We have assigned heirs for what are left
ولكل جعلنا مولي مما تركby the two parents and the relatives.
الولدان والاقربونAnd those with whom your oaths have bound you, give them their share.
والذين عقدت ايمنكم فاتوهم نصيبهمGod is indeed, over all things, a witness.
ان الله كان على كل شىء شهيداMen bear the executive, protective, and financial charge of the household toward women, by reason of the advantage God has granted some over others, and of what they spend from their goods.
الرجال قومون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض وبما انفقوا من امولهمRighteous women are devoted, guardians of what escapes the presence [of others], by reason of what God has preserved.
فالصلحت قنتت حفظت للغيب بما حفظ اللهAnd those whose unilateral breach [of the marital pact] you fear, admonish them, withdraw from them in the beds, then multiply them [the marital structure, by taking another wife];
والتي تخافون نشوزهن فعظوهن واهجروهن في المضاجع واضربوهنthen, if they obey you, seek no further way against them.
فان اطعنكم فلا تبغوا عليهن سبيلاGod is indeed Most High, Great.
ان الله كان عليا كبيراAnd if you fear a rupture between the two, send then an arbiter from his family, and an arbiter from her family; if they both want reconciliation, God will bring them into accord.
وان خفتم شقاق بينهما فابعثوا حكما من اهله وحكما من اهلها ان يريدا اصلحا يوفق الله بينهماGod is indeed All-Knowing, Informed.
ان الله كان عليما خبيراAnd obey God,
واعبدوا اللهand associate nothing with Him,
ولا تشركوا به شياand beneficence toward the two parents, relatives, orphans, the destitute, the near neighbor, the distant neighbor, the companion at your side, the stranded traveler, and those to whom you are bound by oath.
وبالولدين احسنا وبذي القربى واليتمى والمسكين والجار ذي القربى والجار الجنب والصاحب بالجنب وابن السبيل وما ملكت ايمنكمGod does not love him who is vain, full of boastfulness.
ان الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخوراThose who are stingy, enjoin stinginess upon people, and hide what God has given them of His favor —
الذين يبخلون ويامرون الناس بالبخل ويكتمون ما ءاتىهم الله من فضلهWe have prepared, for those who disown, a humiliating punishment.
واعتدنا للكفرين عذابا مهيناAnd those who spend their goods for show before people, and believe neither in God nor in the Last Day —
والذين ينفقون امولهم رياء الناس ولا يومنون بالله ولا باليوم الءاخرwhoever has the Diverter as a companion, what an evil companion!
ومن يكن الشيطن له قرينا فساء قريناAnd what would they have to lose, if they believed in God and the Last Day, and spent from what God provided them as sustenance?
وماذا عليهم لو ءامنوا بالله واليوم الءاخر وانفقوا مما رزقهم اللهGod knows them perfectly.
وكان الله بهم عليماGod does no injustice, even the weight of a grain.
ان الله لا يظلم مثقال ذرةAnd if it is a good deed, He doubles it, and grants, from Himself, an immense reward.
وان تك حسنة يضعفها ويوت من لدنه اجرا عظيماHow then, when We bring, from every community, a witness, and We bring you as a witness against these?
فكيف اذا جينا من كل امة بشهيد وجينا بك على هولاء شهيداOn that day, those who disowned and disobeyed the messenger would wish that the earth were leveled over them, and they will not be able to hide anything from God.
يوميذ يود الذين كفروا وعصوا الرسول لو تسوى بهم الارض ولا يكتمون الله حديثاO you who have believed! do not approach the Contact while intoxicated, until you know what you are saying, nor [after] having soiled yourselves [relieving a need] — except when passing along a way — until you have washed yourselves.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تقربوا الصلوة وانتم سكرى حتى تعلموا ما تقولون ولا جنبا الا عابري سبيل حتى تغتسلواAnd 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 resort to clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands with it.
وان كنتم مرضى او على سفر او جاء احد منكم من الغايط او لمستم النساء فلم تجدوا ماء فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا فامسحوا بوجوهكم وايديكمGod is indeed Ever-Effacing, Most-Forgiving.
ان الله كان عفوا غفوراHave you not seen those to whom a share of the Scripture was given, buying error and wanting you to stray from the path?
الم تر الى الذين اوتوا نصيبا من الكتب يشترون الضللة ويريدون ان تضلوا السبيلGod knows best your enemies.
والله اعلم باعدايكمGod suffices as a protector, and God suffices as a helper.
وكفى بالله وليا وكفى بالله نصيراAmong the Reoriented, there are some who displace words from their context, and say: "We have heard and disobeyed", and: "Listen, without being made to hear", and: "Ra'ina", twisting their tongues and casting aspersion on the Law.
من الذين هادوا يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ويقولون سمعنا وعصينا واسمع غير مسمع ورعنا ليا بالسنتهم وطعنا في الدينAnd had they said: "We have heard and obeyed", and: "Listen", and: "Look at us", it would have been better for them, and more upright;
ولو انهم قالوا سمعنا واطعنا واسمع وانظرنا لكان خيرا لهم واقومbut God cursed them for their disowning, and they believe only a little.
ولكن لعنهم الله بكفرهم فلا يومنون الا قليلاO you to whom the Scripture was given! believe in what We have sent down, confirming what is with you, before We efface faces, turning them backward, or curse them as We cursed those of the sabt [the act of rest/inaction].
يايها الذين اوتوا الكتب ءامنوا بما نزلنا مصدقا لما معكم من قبل ان نطمس وجوها فنردها على ادبارها او نلعنهم كما لعنا اصحب السبتAnd the command of God is always fulfilled.
وكان امر الله مفعولاGod indeed does not forgive that anything be associated with Him,
ان الله لا يغفر ان يشرك بهbut He forgives, besides that, whom He wills.
ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاءAnd whoever associates with God invents an immense transgression.
ومن يشرك بالله فقد افترى اثما عظيماHave you not seen those who declare themselves pure?
الم تر الى الذين يزكون انفسهمGod, rather, purifies whom He wills,
بل الله يزكي من يشاءand they will not be wronged by a thread.
ولا يظلمون فتيلاLook how they invent the lie against God: that suffices as a manifest transgression.
انظر كيف يفترون على الله الكذب وكفى به اثما مبيناHave you not seen those to whom a share of the Scripture was given, believing in the Idol and the Tyrant, and saying of those who disown: "These are better guided, in path, than those who have believed"?
الم تر الى الذين اوتوا نصيبا من الكتب يومنون بالجبت والطغوت ويقولون للذين كفروا هولاء اهدى من الذين ءامنوا سبيلاThose are the ones God has cursed;
اوليك الذين لعنهم اللهand whoever God curses, you will find for him no helper.
ومن يلعن الله فلن تجد له نصيراOr do they have a share of the dominion? They would then not give people even the groove of a date-stone.
ام لهم نصيب من الملك فاذا لا يوتون الناس نقيراOr do they envy people for what God has given them of His favor?
ام يحسدون الناس على ما ءاتىهم الله من فضلهWe have indeed given the family of Ibrahim the Scripture and the wisdom, and We gave them an immense dominion.
فقد ءاتينا ءال ابرهيم الكتب والحكمة وءاتينهم ملكا عظيماAmong them, there are some who believed in it, and some who turned away from it.
فمنهم من ءامن به ومنهم من صد عنهJahannam suffices as an inferno.
وكفى بجهنم سعيراThose who disowned Our signs, We will burn them in a fire.
ان الذين كفروا بايتنا سوف نصليهم ناراEvery time their skins are consumed, We will replace them with other skins, so that they may taste the punishment.
كلما نضجت جلودهم بدلنهم جلودا غيرها ليذوقوا العذابGod is indeed All-Powerful, Wise.
ان الله كان عزيزا حكيماAnd those who have believed and done righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, forever.
والذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت سندخلهم جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيها ابداThey will have therein purified spouses,
لهم فيها ازوج مطهرةand We will admit them into an extended shade.
وندخلهم ظلا ظليلاGod orders you to restore trusts to their rightful owners, and, when you judge between people, to judge with justice.
ان الله يامركم ان تودوا الامنت الى اهلها واذا حكمتم بين الناس ان تحكموا بالعدلHow excellent is that to which God exhorts you!
ان الله نعما يعظكم بهGod is indeed the All-Hearing, the One who sees perfectly.
ان الله كان سميعا بصيراO you who have believed! obey God, obey the messenger, and those among you who hold authority.
يايها الذين ءامنوا اطيعوا الله واطيعوا الرسول واولي الامر منكمAnd if you disagree about something, refer it to God and to the messenger, if you believe in God and the Last Day.
فان تنزعتم في شىء فردوه الى الله والرسول ان كنتم تومنون بالله واليوم الءاخرThat is better, and of finer interpretation.
ذلك خير واحسن تاويلاHave you not seen those who claim to have believed in what has been revealed to you and in what was revealed before you, and who want to bring their dispute before the Tyrant, though they have been ordered to disown it?
الم تر الى الذين يزعمون انهم ءامنوا بما انزل اليك وما انزل من قبلك يريدون ان يتحاكموا الى الطغوت وقد امروا ان يكفروا بهThe Diverter wants to lead them far astray.
ويريد الشيطن ان يضلهم ضللا بعيداAnd when it is said to them: "Come to what God has sent down, and to the messenger", you see the hypocrites turn away from you, resolutely.
واذا قيل لهم تعالوا الى ما انزل الله والى الرسول رايت المنفقين يصدون عنك صدوداHow then, when misfortune strikes them for what their hands have prepared, do they then come to you, swearing by God: "We wanted only good and reconciliation"?
فكيف اذا اصبتهم مصيبة بما قدمت ايديهم ثم جاءوك يحلفون بالله ان اردنا الا احسنا وتوفيقاThose are the ones whose cores God knows; turn away from them, then, admonish them, and speak to them, concerning themselves, a penetrating word.
اوليك الذين يعلم الله ما في قلوبهم فاعرض عنهم وعظهم وقل لهم في انفسهم قولا بليغاAnd We sent no messenger except that he be obeyed, with God's permission.
وما ارسلنا من رسول الا ليطاع باذن اللهAnd had they come to you, after having wronged themselves, to ask God's forgiveness, and had the messenger asked forgiveness for them, they would certainly have found God the Ever-Accepter of repentance, Benevolent.
ولو انهم اذ ظلموا انفسهم جاءوك فاستغفروا الله واستغفر لهم الرسول لوجدوا الله توابا رحيماBut no, by your Guardian! they will not believe until they have taken you as judge of their disputes, and no longer find, within themselves, any hardship over what you have decided, and accept it with complete integrity.
فلا وربك لا يومنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدوا في انفسهم حرجا مما قضيت ويسلموا تسليماAnd had We prescribed for them: "Kill yourselves", or: "Leave your dwellings", they would not have done it, except a small number of them.
ولو انا كتبنا عليهم ان اقتلوا انفسكم او اخرجوا من ديركم ما فعلوه الا قليل منهمAnd had they done what they were exhorted to do, it would have been better for them, and more strengthening;
ولو انهم فعلوا ما يوعظون به لكان خيرا لهم واشد تثبيتاand We would then certainly have given them, from Ourselves, an immense reward,
واذا لءاتينهم من لدنا اجرا عظيماand We would certainly have guided them along a straight path.
ولهدينهم صرطا مستقيماAnd whoever obeys God and the messenger, those will be with those God has blessed, among the prophets, the men of truth, the witnesses, and the righteous.
ومن يطع الله والرسول فاوليك مع الذين انعم الله عليهم من النبين والصديقين والشهداء والصلحينAnd what an excellent company that is!
وحسن اوليك رفيقاThat is the favor from God,
ذلك الفضل من اللهand God suffices as All-Knowing.
وكفى بالله عليماO you who have believed! take your precautions, and mobilize in detachments, or mobilize all together.
يايها الذين ءامنوا خذوا حذركم فانفروا ثبات او انفروا جميعاAnd there is indeed among you one who deliberately lags behind;
وان منكم لمن ليبطينand if misfortune strikes you, he says: "God has blessed me, since I was not present with them."
فان اصبتكم مصيبة قال قد انعم الله على اذ لم اكن معهم شهيداBut if a favor from God reaches you, he will certainly say, as if there had been no affection between you and him: "Would that I had been with them, I would then have attained an immense triumph!"
ولين اصبكم فضل من الله ليقولن كان لم تكن بينكم وبينه مودة يليتني كنت معهم فافوز فوزا عظيماSo let those fight in the way of God who sell the present life for the last life.
فليقتل في سبيل الله الذين يشرون الحيوة الدنيا بالءاخرةAnd whoever fights in the way of God, and is killed or prevails, We will give him an immense reward.
ومن يقتل في سبيل الله فيقتل او يغلب فسوف نوتيه اجرا عظيماAnd what is with you that you should not fight in the way of God, and for the men, women, and children reduced to weakness, who say: "Our Guardian, bring us out of this city whose people are unjust, and give us, from Yourself, a protector, and give us, from Yourself, a helper"?
وما لكم لا تقتلون في سبيل الله والمستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدن الذين يقولون ربنا اخرجنا من هذه القرية الظالم اهلها واجعل لنا من لدنك وليا واجعل لنا من لدنك نصيراThose who have believed fight in the way of God,
الذين ءامنوا يقتلون في سبيل اللهand those who disown fight in the way of the Tyrant.
والذين كفروا يقتلون في سبيل الطغوتSo fight the allies of the Diverter:
فقتلوا اولياء الشيطنthe scheming of the Diverter is indeed weak.
ان كيد الشيطن كان ضعيفاHave you not seen those to whom it was said: "Hold back your hands, maintain the Contact, and give the purifying alms"?
الم تر الى الذين قيل لهم كفوا ايديكم واقيموا الصلوة وءاتوا الزكوةThen, when combat was prescribed for them, there a group among them dread people as one dreads God, or with an even keener dread,
فلما كتب عليهم القتال اذا فريق منهم يخشون الناس كخشية الله او اشد خشيةand they say: "Our Guardian, why have You prescribed combat for us? Why did You not grant us a delay until a near term!"
وقالوا ربنا لم كتبت علينا القتال لولا اخرتنا الى اجل قريبSay: "The enjoyment of the present life is little,
قل متع الدنيا قليلand the last life is better for whoever guards himself,
والءاخرة خير لمن اتقىand you will not be wronged by a thread."
ولا تظلمون فتيلاWherever you are, death will reach you, even were you in impregnable towers.
اينما تكونوا يدرككم الموت ولو كنتم في بروج مشيدةAnd if good befalls them, they say: "This is from God";
وان تصبهم حسنة يقولوا هذه من عند اللهand if evil befalls them, they say: "This is from you."
وان تصبهم سيية يقولوا هذه من عندكSay: "All comes from God."
قل كل من عند اللهWhat is with these people that they scarcely understand a discourse?
فمال هولاء القوم لا يكادون يفقهون حديثاWhat reaches you of good comes from God,
ما اصابك من حسنة فمن اللهand what reaches you of evil comes from yourself.
وما اصابك من سيية فمن نفسكAnd We sent you to mankind as a messenger.
وارسلنك للناس رسولاGod suffices as a witness.
وكفى بالله شهيداWhoever obeys the messenger indeed obeys God,
من يطع الرسول فقد اطاع اللهand whoever turns away — We have not sent you as a guardian over them.
ومن تولى فما ارسلنك عليهم حفيظاAnd they say: "Obedience",
ويقولون طاعةbut when they leave you, a group among them schemes by night something quite different from what they say.
فاذا برزوا من عندك بيت طايفة منهم غير الذي تقولGod records what they scheme by night.
والله يكتب ما يبيتونTurn away from them, then, and rely upon God.
فاعرض عنهم وتوكل على اللهGod suffices as a trustee.
وكفى بالله وكيلاDo they not then reflect on this Recitation?
افلا يتدبرون القرءانHad it come from other than God, they would have found in it much divergence.
ولو كان من عند غير الله لوجدوا فيه اختلفا كثيراAnd when news reaches them, reassuring or alarming, they spread it;
واذا جاءهم امر من الامن او الخوف اذاعوا بهbut had they referred it to the messenger and to those among them who hold authority, those among them who seek to draw out its substance would have known it.
ولو ردوه الى الرسول والى اولي الامر منهم لعلمه الذين يستنبطونه منهمAnd without God's favor upon you and His benevolence, you would certainly have followed the Diverter, except a few.
ولولا فضل الله عليكم ورحمته لاتبعتم الشيطن الا قليلاSo fight in the way of God:
فقتل في سبيل اللهyou are charged only with yourself.
لا تكلف الا نفسكAnd incite the believers [to combat].
وحرض المومنينIt may be that God will restrain the violence of those who disown.
عسى الله ان يكف باس الذين كفرواGod is more formidable in rigor, and more formidable in exemplary punishment.
والله اشد باسا واشد تنكيلاWhoever intercedes with a good intercession will have a share of it;
من يشفع شفعة حسنة يكن له نصيب منهاand whoever intercedes with an evil intercession will bear a share of responsibility for it.
ومن يشفع شفعة سيية يكن له كفل منهاGod is, over all things, a guarantor.
وكان الله على كل شىء مقيتاAnd when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better greeting, or simply return it.
واذا حييتم بتحية فحيوا باحسن منها او ردوهاGod is indeed, over all things, an accountant.
ان الله كان على كل شىء حسيباGod, there is no deity but Him.
الله لا اله الا هوHe will certainly gather you on the Day of Appearance, no doubt possible.
ليجمعنكم الى يوم القيمة لا ريب فيهAnd who is more truthful than God in speech?
ومن اصدق من الله حديثاWhat is with you, then, concerning the hypocrites, that you form two groups, when God has cast them back for what they have earned?
فما لكم في المنفقين فيتين والله اركسهم بما كسبواDo you want to guide him whom God has led astray?
اتريدون ان تهدوا من اضل اللهAnd whoever God leads astray, you will find for him no path.
ومن يضلل الله فلن تجد له سبيلاThey would like you to disown as they disowned, so that you might be equal;
ودوا لو تكفرون كما كفروا فتكونون سواءso do not take, among them, allies, until they emigrate in the way of God.
فلا تتخذوا منهم اولياء حتى يهاجروا في سبيل اللهIf they turn away, 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
فان تولوا فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث وجدتموهم ولا تتخذوا منهم وليا ولا نصيرا الا الذين يصلون الى قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثق او جاءوكمwith their hearts constrained at the thought of fighting you, or fighting their own people.
حصرت صدورهم ان يقتلوكم او يقتلوا قومهمAnd had God willed, He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you.
ولو شاء الله لسلطهم عليكم فلقتلوكمIf they keep away from you, do not fight you, and offer you peace, then God grants you no way against them.
فان اعتزلوكم فلم يقتلوكم والقوا اليكم السلم فما جعل الله لكم عليهم سبيلاYou 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.
ستجدون ءاخرين يريدون ان يامنوكم ويامنوا قومهم كل ما ردوا الى الفتنة اركسوا فيهاIf 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 encounter them.
فان لم يعتزلوكم ويلقوا اليكم السلم ويكفوا ايديهم فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث ثقفتموهمThose are the ones against whom We give you manifest authority.
واوليكم جعلنا لكم عليهم سلطنا مبيناAnd it is not for a believer to kill a believer,
وما كان لمومن ان يقتل مومناexcept by mistake.
الا خطاAnd whoever kills a believer by mistake must free a believing person from the burden of a debt, as well as a compensation delivered to his family, unless they forgo it as charity.
ومن قتل مومنا خطا فتحرير رقبة مومنة ودية مسلمة الى اهله الا ان يصدقواAnd if the slain belonged to a people hostile to you, while being a believer, then the freeing of a believing person from the burden of a debt.
فان كان من قوم عدو لكم وهو مومن فتحرير رقبة مومنةAnd if he belonged to a people between whom and you there is a solemn engagement, then a compensation delivered to his family, and the freeing of a believing person from the burden of a debt.
وان كان من قوم بينكم وبينهم ميثق فدية مسلمة الى اهله وتحرير رقبة مومنةAnd whoever does not find the means, then an abstention of two consecutive months, as a [accepted] return toward God.
فمن لم يجد فصيام شهرين متتابعين توبة من اللهGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
وكان الله عليما حكيماAnd whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Jahannam, wherein he will abide eternally; God is angered against him, has cursed him, and has prepared for him an immense punishment.
ومن يقتل مومنا متعمدا فجزاوه جهنم خلدا فيها وغضب الله عليه ولعنه واعد له عذابا عظيماO you who have believed! when you advance in the way of God, distinguish clearly,
يايها الذين ءامنوا اذا ضربتم في سبيل الله فتبينواand do not say to one who offers you peace: "You are not a believer", coveting the fleeting goods of the present life; but, with God, there are abundant spoils.
ولا تقولوا لمن القى اليكم السلم لست مومنا تبتغون عرض الحيوة الدنيا فعند الله مغانم كثيرةThus were you before, and God blessed you.
كذلك كنتم من قبل فمن الله عليكمSo distinguish clearly.
فتبينواGod is indeed Informed of what you do.
ان الله كان بما تعملون خبيراNot 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.
لا يستوي القعدون من المومنين غير اولي الضرر والمجهدون في سبيل الله بامولهم وانفسهمGod has favored those who strive with their goods and their Selves, in degree, above those who remain seated.
فضل الله المجهدين بامولهم وانفسهم على القعدين درجةAnd to all, God has promised the best;
وكلا وعد الله الحسنىand God has favored those who strive, above those who remain seated, with an immense reward — degrees from Him, and forgiveness, and benevolence;
وفضل الله المجهدين على القعدين اجرا عظيما درجت منه ومغفرة ورحمةand God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وكان الله غفورا رحيماThose whom the Agents take back [to God] while they are unjust toward themselves — [the Agents] say: "In what situation were you?"
ان الذين توفىهم المليكة ظالمي انفسهم قالوا فيم كنتمThey say: "We were reduced to weakness on the earth."
قالوا كنا مستضعفين في الارضThey say: "Was God's earth not vast enough for you to emigrate in it?"
قالوا الم تكن ارض الله وسعة فتهاجروا فيهاThose are the ones whose refuge will be Jahannam; and what an evil destination! — except the men, women, and children reduced to weakness, who have neither the means to scheme, nor to find a way.
فاوليك ماوىهم جهنم وساءت مصيرا الا المستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدن لا يستطيعون حيلة ولا يهتدون سبيلاThose, it may be that God will efface them [of their fault].
فاوليك عسى الله ان يعفو عنهمGod is Ever-Effacing, Most-Forgiving.
وكان الله عفوا غفوراAnd whoever emigrates in the way of God will find, on the earth, an ample refuge and abundance.
ومن يهاجر في سبيل الله يجد في الارض مرغما كثيرا وسعةAnd whoever leaves his dwelling, emigrating toward God and His messenger, and is then overtaken by death, his reward is henceforth incumbent upon God.
ومن يخرج من بيته مهاجرا الى الله ورسوله ثم يدركه الموت فقد وقع اجره على اللهGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وكان الله غفورا رحيماAnd when you travel through the land, no blame upon you for shortening the Contact, if you fear that those who disown may try you.
واذا ضربتم في الارض فليس عليكم جناح ان تقصروا من الصلوة ان خفتم ان يفتنكم الذين كفرواThose who disown are indeed, for you, a manifest enemy.
ان الكفرين كانوا لكم عدوا مبيناAnd 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.
واذا كنت فيهم فاقمت لهم الصلوة فلتقم طايفة منهم معك ولياخذوا اسلحتهمThen, when they have prostrated, let them pass behind you,
فاذا سجدوا فليكونوا من ورايكمand let another group, who has not yet made contact, come to make contact with you, taking their precautions and their arms.
ولتات طايفة اخرى لم يصلوا فليصلوا معك ولياخذوا حذرهم واسلحتهمThose who disown would like you to neglect your arms and your equipment, so as to swoop down upon you in a single rush.
ود الذين كفروا لو تغفلون عن اسلحتكم وامتعتكم فيميلون عليكم ميلة وحدةAnd no blame upon you, if you are hindered by rain or are sick, for laying down your arms;
ولا جناح عليكم ان كان بكم اذى من مطر او كنتم مرضى ان تضعوا اسلحتكمbut take your precautions.
وخذوا حذركمGod has indeed prepared, for those who disown, a humiliating punishment.
ان الله اعد للكفرين عذابا مهيناAnd when you have completed the Contact, remember God, standing, sitting, or lying on your sides.
فاذا قضيتم الصلوة فاذكروا الله قيما وقعودا وعلى جنوبكمThen, once at ease, maintain the Contact.
فاذا اطماننتم فاقيموا الصلوةThe Contact is indeed, for the believers, a prescription at fixed times.
ان الصلوة كانت على المومنين كتبا موقوتاAnd do not weaken in the pursuit of that people.
ولا تهنوا في ابتغاء القومIf you suffer, they suffer as you suffer; but you hope from God what they do not hope.
ان تكونوا تالمون فانهم يالمون كما تالمون وترجون من الله ما لا يرجونGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
وكان الله عليما حكيماWe have sent down to you the Scripture in truth, so that you may judge between people according to what God has shown you.
انا انزلنا اليك الكتب بالحق لتحكم بين الناس بما ارىك اللهAnd do not be, for the treacherous, a defender.
ولا تكن للخاينين خصيماAnd ask God's forgiveness.
واستغفر اللهGod is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ان الله كان غفورا رحيماAnd do not argue in favor of those who betray themselves.
ولا تجدل عن الذين يختانون انفسهمGod does not love him who is treacherous, transgressive.
ان الله لا يحب من كان خوانا اثيماThey hide from people, but cannot hide from God: He is with them, when they scheme by night words He does not approve.
يستخفون من الناس ولا يستخفون من الله وهو معهم اذ يبيتون ما لا يرضى من القولGod encompasses perfectly what they do.
وكان الله بما يعملون محيطاSo here you are, who pleaded for them in the present life; but who will plead for them, before God, on the Day of Appearance? Or who will be, for them, a trustee?
هانتم هولاء جدلتم عنهم في الحيوة الدنيا فمن يجدل الله عنهم يوم القيمة ام من يكون عليهم وكيلاAnd whoever commits an evil, or wrongs his own Self, then asks God's forgiveness, finds God Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ومن يعمل سوءا او يظلم نفسه ثم يستغفر الله يجد الله غفورا رحيماAnd whoever acquires a transgression acquires it only against his own Self.
ومن يكسب اثما فانما يكسبه على نفسهGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
وكان الله عليما حكيماAnd whoever acquires a fault or a transgression, then accuses an innocent person of it, burdens himself with a slander and a manifest transgression.
ومن يكسب خطية او اثما ثم يرم به بريا فقد احتمل بهتنا واثما مبيناAnd without God's favor upon you and His benevolence, a group among them would have resolved to lead you astray;
ولولا فضل الله عليك ورحمته لهمت طايفة منهم ان يضلوكbut they lead astray none but themselves, and they cannot harm you at all.
وما يضلون الا انفسهم وما يضرونك من شىءGod has sent down upon you the Scripture and the wisdom, and taught you what you did not know.
وانزل الله عليك الكتب والحكمة وعلمك ما لم تكن تعلمThe favor of God upon you is immense.
وكان فضل الله عليك عظيماThere is no good in most of their private conferences, except for one who orders an alms, or a righteous deed, or a reconciliation between people.
لا خير في كثير من نجوىهم الا من امر بصدقة او معروف او اصلح بين الناسAnd whoever does that seeking the good pleasure of God, We will give him an immense reward.
ومن يفعل ذلك ابتغاء مرضات الله فسوف نوتيه اجرا عظيماAnd whoever opposes the messenger, after guidance has become clear to him, and follows a path other than that of the believers, We will leave him to what he has turned to, and We will burn him in Jahannam.
ومن يشاقق الرسول من بعد ما تبين له الهدى ويتبع غير سبيل المومنين نوله ما تولى ونصله جهنمAnd what an evil destination!
وساءت مصيراGod indeed does not forgive that anything be associated with Him,
ان الله لا يغفر ان يشرك بهbut He forgives, besides that, whom He wills.
ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاءAnd whoever associates with God strays far astray.
ومن يشرك بالله فقد ضل ضللا بعيداThey invoke, besides Him, only [feminine] deities, and they invoke only a rebellious Diverter, whom God has cursed,
ان يدعون من دونه الا انثا وان يدعون الا شيطنا مريدا لعنه اللهwho said: "I will certainly take, among Your obedient ones, a determined portion; I will certainly lead them astray, I will certainly give them vain hopes, I will certainly order them to slit the ears of cattle, and I will certainly order them to alter God's creation."
وقال لاتخذن من عبادك نصيبا مفروضا ولاضلنهم ولامنينهم ولءامرنهم فليبتكن ءاذان الانعم ولءامرنهم فليغيرن خلق اللهAnd whoever takes the Diverter as an ally, besides God, has indeed suffered a manifest loss.
ومن يتخذ الشيطن وليا من دون الله فقد خسر خسرانا مبيناHe makes them promises and gives them vain hopes,
يعدهم ويمنيهمand the Diverter promises them only deception.
وما يعدهم الشيطن الا غروراThose are the ones whose refuge will be Jahannam,
اوليك ماوىهم جهنمand they will find no escape from it.
ولا يجدون عنها محيصاAnd those who have believed and done righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide eternally, forever.
والذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت سندخلهم جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيها ابداA promise of God, in truth.
وعد الله حقاAnd who is more truthful than God in speech?
ومن اصدق من الله قيلاIt does not depend on your wishes, nor on the wishes of the people of the Scripture.
ليس بامانيكم ولا اماني اهل الكتبWhoever commits an evil will be recompensed for it, and will find, besides God, neither protector nor helper.
من يعمل سوءا يجز به ولا يجد له من دون الله وليا ولا نصيراAnd whoever does righteous deeds, male or female, while being a believer, those will enter the Garden, and will not be wronged in anything.
ومن يعمل من الصلحت من ذكر او انثى وهو مومن فاوليك يدخلون الجنة ولا يظلمون نقيراAnd who has a better 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?
ومن احسن دينا ممن اسلم وجهه لله وهو محسن واتبع ملة ابرهيم حنيفاAnd God took Ibrahim as an intimate friend.
واتخذ الله ابرهيم خليلاAnd to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
ولله ما في السموت وما في الارضGod encompasses, of all things, perfectly.
وكان الله بكل شىء محيطاAnd they consult you concerning women.
ويستفتونك في النساءSay: "God instructs 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 desiring to marry them, and the children reduced to weakness, and [He orders you] to conduct yourselves with the orphans in complete equity.
قل الله يفتيكم فيهن وما يتلى عليكم في الكتب في يتمى النساء التي لا توتونهن ما كتب لهن وترغبون ان تنكحوهن والمستضعفين من الولدن وان تقوموا لليتمى بالقسطAnd whatever good you do, God knows it perfectly."
وما تفعلوا من خير فان الله كان به عليماAnd if a woman fears from her husband persistent hostility or disinterest, no blame upon them to reconcile through an agreement;
وان امراة خافت من بعلها نشوزا او اعراضا فلا جناح عليهما ان يصلحا بينهما صلحاand reconciliation is better.
والصلح خيرThe Selves are inclined to stinginess;
واحضرت الانفس الشحbut if you act with kindness and guard yourselves, God is indeed Informed of what you do.
وان تحسنوا وتتقوا فان الله كان بما تعملون خبيراAnd you will never be able to be just between women, even if you are keen on it;
ولن تستطيعوا ان تعدلوا بين النساء ولو حرصتمso do not incline entirely [to one side], to the point of leaving the other as if suspended.
فلا تميلوا كل الميل فتذروها كالمعلقةAnd if you reconcile and guard yourselves, God is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وان تصلحوا وتتقوا فان الله كان غفورا رحيماAnd if they separate, God will enrich each of them from His abundance.
وان يتفرقا يغن الله كلا من سعتهGod is Vast, Wise.
وكان الله وسعا حكيماAnd to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
ولله ما في السموت وما في الارضAnd We have indeed recommended to those to whom the Scripture was given before you, and to yourselves, to guard yourselves toward God.
ولقد وصينا الذين اوتوا الكتب من قبلكم واياكم ان اتقوا اللهAnd if you disown, to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
وان تكفروا فان لله ما في السموت وما في الارضGod is self-sufficient, worthy of praise.
وكان الله غنيا حميداAnd to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
ولله ما في السموت وما في الارضGod suffices as a trustee.
وكفى بالله وكيلاIf He wills, He makes you disappear, O mankind, and brings others in your place.
ان يشا يذهبكم ايها الناس ويات باخرينGod is capable of that.
وكان الله على ذلك قديراWhoever wants the requital of the present life — with God is the requital of the present life and of the last life.
من كان يريد ثواب الدنيا فعند الله ثواب الدنيا والءاخرةGod is the All-Hearing, the One who sees perfectly.
وكان الله سميعا بصيراO you who have believed! be firm supporters in equity, witnesses for God, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives.
يايها الذين ءامنوا كونوا قومين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على انفسكم او الولدين والاقربينWhether he be rich or poor, God is closer to them both than you; so do not follow emotion, to the point of no longer being just.
ان يكن غنيا او فقيرا فالله اولى بهما فلا تتبعوا الهوى ان تعدلواAnd if you distort or turn away, God is indeed Informed of what you do.
وان تلوا او تعرضوا فان الله كان بما تعملون خبيراO 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.
يايها الذين ءامنوا ءامنوا بالله ورسوله والكتب الذي نزل على رسوله والكتب الذي انزل من قبلAnd whoever disowns God, His Agents, His scriptures, His messengers, and the Last Day strays far astray.
ومن يكفر بالله ومليكته وكتبه ورسله واليوم الءاخر فقد ضل ضللا بعيداThose who have believed, then disowned, then believed, then disowned, then increased in disowning — it is not for God to forgive them, nor to guide them to a path.
ان الذين ءامنوا ثم كفروا ثم ءامنوا ثم كفروا ثم ازدادوا كفرا لم يكن الله ليغفر لهم ولا ليهديهم سبيلاAnnounce to the hypocrites that they will have a painful punishment — those who take those who disown as allies, besides the believers.
بشر المنفقين بان لهم عذابا اليما الذين يتخذون الكفرين اولياء من دون المومنينDo they seek power with them? Power belongs to God in its entirety.
ايبتغون عندهم العزة فان العزة لله جميعاAnd He has already sent down to you, in the Scripture, [this]: when you hear the signs of God being disowned and mocked, do not remain seated with them, until they move on to another subject;
وقد نزل عليكم في الكتب ان اذا سمعتم ءايت الله يكفر بها ويستهزا بها فلا تقعدوا معهم حتى يخوضوا في حديث غيرهyou would then be like them.
انكم اذا مثلهمGod will indeed gather the hypocrites and those who disown, all together, in Jahannam — those who watch [what happens to you]: if a victory comes to you from God, they say: "Were we not with you?" and if a share falls to those who disown, they say: "Did we not overpower you, and did we not protect you against the believers?"
ان الله جامع المنفقين والكفرين في جهنم جميعا الذين يتربصون بكم فان كان لكم فتح من الله قالوا الم نكن معكم وان كان للكفرين نصيب قالوا الم نستحوذ عليكم ونمنعكم من المومنينGod will judge between you, on the Day of Appearance;
فالله يحكم بينكم يوم القيمةand God will never grant those who disown a way over the believers.
ولن يجعل الله للكفرين على المومنين سبيلاThe hypocrites seek to deceive God, and it is He who deceives them [in return].
ان المنفقين يخدعون الله وهو خدعهمAnd when they rise for the Contact, they rise lazily, making a show of themselves to people, and remember God only a little, wavering between the two, neither on one side nor the other.
واذا قاموا الى الصلوة قاموا كسالى يراءون الناس ولا يذكرون الله الا قليلا مذبذبين بين ذلك لا الى هولاء ولا الى هولاءAnd whoever God leads astray, you will find for him no path.
ومن يضلل الله فلن تجد له سبيلاO you who have believed! do not take those who disown as allies, besides the believers.
يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تتخذوا الكفرين اولياء من دون المومنينWould you give God manifest authority against you?
اتريدون ان تجعلوا لله عليكم سلطنا مبيناThe hypocrites are indeed in the lowest stratum of the Fire, and you will never find for them a helper —
ان المنفقين في الدرك الاسفل من النار ولن تجد لهم نصيراexcept those who turn back [to God], reform, hold firmly to God, and devote their Law sincerely to God: those are the ones who are with the believers,
الا الذين تابوا واصلحوا واعتصموا بالله واخلصوا دينهم لله فاوليك مع المومنينand God will soon give the believers an immense reward.
وسوف يوت الله المومنين اجرا عظيماWhat would God do with your punishment, if you are grateful and believing?
ما يفعل الله بعذابكم ان شكرتم وءامنتمGod is Grateful, All-Knowing.
وكان الله شاكرا عليماGod does not love the public disclosure of evil in speech, except from one who has been wronged.
لا يحب الله الجهر بالسوء من القول الا من ظلمGod is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
وكان الله سميعا عليماWhether you disclose a good, or hide it, or efface an evil, God is indeed Ever-Effacing, All-Powerful.
ان تبدوا خيرا او تخفوه او تعفوا عن سوء فان الله كان عفوا قديراThose 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 path between the two — those are the true disowners.
ان الذين يكفرون بالله ورسله ويريدون ان يفرقوا بين الله ورسله ويقولون نومن ببعض ونكفر ببعض ويريدون ان يتخذوا بين ذلك سبيلا اوليك هم الكفرون حقاWe have prepared, for those who disown, a humiliating punishment.
واعتدنا للكفرين عذابا مهيناAnd 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.
والذين ءامنوا بالله ورسله ولم يفرقوا بين احد منهم اوليك سوف يوتيهم اجورهمGod is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وكان الله غفورا رحيماThe people of the Scripture ask you to send down upon them a scripture from the sky.
يسلك اهل الكتب ان تنزل عليهم كتبا من السماءThey indeed asked Moussa something greater than that, saying: "Show us God openly"; the thunderbolt then seized them for their injustice.
فقد سالوا موسى اكبر من ذلك فقالوا ارنا الله جهرة فاخذتهم الصعقة بظلمهمThen they took the calf [as a deity], after the clear proofs had come to them; but We effaced that,
ثم اتخذوا العجل من بعد ما جاءتهم البينت فعفونا عن ذلكand We gave Moussa manifest authority.
وءاتينا موسى سلطنا مبيناAnd We raised above them the Mount, by virtue of their solemn engagement,
ورفعنا فوقهم الطور بميثقهمand We said to them: "Enter by the gate, prostrate",
وقلنا لهم ادخلوا الباب سجداand We said to them: "Do not cross the limits of the sabt [the act of rest/inaction]",
وقلنا لهم لا تعدوا في السبتand We took from them a solemn and firm engagement.
واخذنا منهم ميثقا غليظاIt is for having violated their solemn engagement, disowned the signs of God, killed the prophets without right, and said: "Our cores are wrapped up" — no, it is God who sealed 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 killed Al-Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, the messenger of God",
فبما نقضهم ميثقهم وكفرهم بايت الله وقتلهم الانبياء بغير حق وقولهم قلوبنا غلف بل طبع الله عليها بكفرهم فلا يومنون الا قليلا وبكفرهم وقولهم على مريم بهتنا عظيما وقولهم انا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول اللهwhen they did not kill him and did not crucify him, but a likeness was given to them.
وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهمAnd those who differ about it are surely in doubt concerning it.
وان الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منهThey have no knowledge of it,
ما لهم به من علمexcept following a conjecture.
الا اتباع الظنAnd they certainly did not kill him.
وما قتلوه يقيناGod, rather, raised him to Himself.
بل رفعه الله اليهGod is All-Powerful, Wise.
وكان الله عزيزا حكيماAnd there is none among the people of the Scripture who will not certainly believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Appearance, he will be a witness against them.
وان من اهل الكتب الا ليومنن به قبل موته ويوم القيمة يكون عليهم شهيداIt is for the injustice of the Reoriented that We forbade them good things that had been made lawful for them, and for having greatly turned away from the path of God, and for having practiced usury, though they had been forbidden it, and devoured the goods of people through falsehood.
فبظلم من الذين هادوا حرمنا عليهم طيبت احلت لهم وبصدهم عن سبيل الله كثيرا واخذهم الربوا وقد نهوا عنه واكلهم امول الناس بالبطلWe have prepared, for those among them who disown, a painful punishment.
واعتدنا للكفرين منهم عذابا اليماBut those among them who are firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what has been revealed to you and in what was revealed before you, as well as those who maintain the Contact,
لكن الرسخون في العلم منهم والمومنون يومنون بما انزل اليك وما انزل من قبلك والمقيمين الصلوةthose who give the purifying alms, and those who believe in God and the Last Day — those are the ones to whom We will soon give an immense reward.
والموتون الزكوة والمومنون بالله واليوم الءاخر اوليك سنوتيهم اجرا عظيماWe have indeed revealed to you, as We revealed to Nuh and the prophets after him,
انا اوحينا اليك كما اوحينا الى نوح والنبين من بعدهand We revealed to Ibrahim, Isma'il, Ishaq, Yaacoub, the tribes, Issa, Ayyub, Younes, Harun, and Sulayman;
واوحينا الى ابرهيم واسمعيل واسحق ويعقوب والاسباط وعيسى وايوب ويونس وهرون وسليمنand We gave Dawud a Formulary.
وءاتينا داود زبوراAnd [We sent] messengers of whom We have already related to you [the story], and messengers of whom We have not related [the story] to you;
ورسلا قد قصصنهم عليك من قبل ورسلا لم نقصصهم عليكand God spoke to Moussa with a [direct] word.
وكلم الله موسى تكليماMessengers, bearers of good tidings and warners, so that people might have no argument against God after the messengers.
رسلا مبشرين ومنذرين ليلا يكون للناس على الله حجة بعد الرسلGod is All-Powerful, Wise.
وكان الله عزيزا حكيماBut God testifies to what He has sent down to you;
لكن الله يشهد بما انزل اليكHe sent it down with full knowledge, and the Agents bear witness to it.
انزله بعلمه والمليكة يشهدونAnd God suffices as a witness.
وكفى بالله شهيداThose who disowned and turned away from the path of God have indeed strayed far astray.
ان الذين كفروا وصدوا عن سبيل الله قد ضلوا ضللا بعيداThose who disowned and committed injustice — it is not in God's nature to forgive them, nor to guide them to a path, except the path of Jahannam, wherein they will abide eternally, forever.
ان الذين كفروا وظلموا لم يكن الله ليغفر لهم ولا ليهديهم طريقا الا طريق جهنم خلدين فيها ابداAnd that is, for God, an easy thing.
وكان ذلك على الله يسيراO mankind! the messenger has indeed come to you with the truth, from your Guardian; believe, then, it is better for you.
يايها الناس قد جاءكم الرسول بالحق من ربكم فامنوا خيرا لكمAnd if you disown, to God belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth.
وان تكفروا فان لله ما في السموت والارضGod is All-Knowing, Wise.
وكان الله عليما حكيماO people of the Scripture! do not exaggerate in your Law, and say about God nothing but the truth.
ياهل الكتب لا تغلوا في دينكم ولا تقولوا على الله الا الحقAl-Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, is only the messenger of God, and His word,
انما المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وكلمتهwhich He cast toward Maryam, and an Influx from Him.
القىها الى مريم وروح منهSo believe in God and His messengers,
فامنوا بالله ورسلهand do not say: "Three".
ولا تقولوا ثلثةCease: that is better for you.
انتهوا خيرا لكمGod is only one deity.
انما الله اله وحدGlory be to Him! He is above having a child.
سبحنه ان يكون له ولدTo Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.
له ما في السموت وما في الارضGod suffices as a trustee.
وكفى بالله وكيلاAl-Massih will never disdain to be obedient to God, nor will the Agents brought near.
لن يستنكف المسيح ان يكون عبدا لله ولا المليكة المقربونAnd whoever disdains to obey Him, and is arrogant, He will soon gather them to Himself, all together.
ومن يستنكف عن عبادته ويستكبر فسيحشرهم اليه جميعاAs for those who have believed and done righteous deeds, He will pay them their rewards in full, and He will give them more of His favor;
فاما الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت فيوفيهم اجورهم ويزيدهم من فضلهand as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will find, besides God, neither protector nor helper.
واما الذين استنكفوا واستكبروا فيعذبهم عذابا اليما ولا يجدون لهم من دون الله وليا ولا نصيراO mankind! a proof has indeed come to you from your Guardian, and We have sent down to you a manifest light.
يايها الناس قد جاءكم برهن من ربكم وانزلنا اليكم نورا مبيناAs for those who have believed in God and held firmly to Him, He will soon admit them into a benevolence from Himself, and a favor, and He will guide them to Himself by a straight path.
فاما الذين ءامنوا بالله واعتصموا به فسيدخلهم في رحمة منه وفضل ويهديهم اليه صرطا مستقيماThey consult you.
يستفتونكSay: "God instructs you concerning the kalala [a person who dies without direct ascendant or descendant].
قل الله يفتيكم في الكللةIf a man dies without a child, but has a sister, to her belongs half of what he leaves;
ان امروا هلك ليس له ولد وله اخت فلها نصف ما تركand he inherits from her, if she has no child.
وهو يرثها ان لم يكن لها ولدBut if there are two [sisters], then to them belong two-thirds of what he leaves;
فان كانتا اثنتين فلهما الثلثان مما تركand if there are several, brothers and sisters, then to the male belongs a share equal to that of two females.
وان كانوا اخوة رجالا ونساء فللذكر مثل حظ الانثيينGod explains this to you, so that you do not go astray.
يبين الله لكم ان تضلواand God is All-Knowing of all things.
والله بكل شىء عليم
