Al-Baqara

and those who believe in what has been sent down to you and in what was sent down before you, and who possess certainty of the last life — those are the ones who are upon guidance from their Guardian,

والدٮں ٮومٮوں ٮما اٮرل الٮك وما اٮرل مں ڡٮلك وٮالاحره هم ٮوڡٮوں اولٮك على هدى مں رٮهم

God has sealed their cores and their hearing,

حٮم الله على ڡلوٮهم وعلى سمعهم

and over their sights, a cover;

وعلى اٮصرهم عسوه

They seek to deceive God and those who have believed,

ٮحدعوں الله والدٮں امٮوا

There is, in their cores, a sickness,

ڡى ڡلوٮهم مرص

and God has increased them in sickness;

ڡرادهم الله مرصا

And when it is said to them: "Believe as men have believed", they say: "Should we believe as the fools have believed?"

وادا ڡٮل لهم امٮوا كما امں الٮاس ڡالوا اٮومں كما امں السڡها

And when they meet those who have believed, they say: "We have believed";

وادا لڡوا الدٮں امٮوا ڡالوا امٮا

Their example is that of one who kindles a fire; when it has lit up what is around him,

مٮلهم كمٮل الدى اسٮوڡد ٮارا ڡلما اصاٮ ما حوله

Or like a torrential rain from the sky, in which there are darknesses, thunder, and lightning:

او كصٮٮ مں السما ڡٮه طلمٮ ورعد وٮرٯ

they put their fingers in their ears, because of the thunderbolts, wary of death.

ٮحعلوں اصٮعهم ڡى اداٮهم مں الصوعٯ حدر الموٮ

The lightning is about to snatch away their sight.

ٮكاد الٮرٯ ٮحطڡ اٮصرهم

Every time it lights up for them, they walk on;

كلما اصا لهم مسوا ڡٮه

and when it darkens over them, they stand still.

وادا اطلم علٮهم ڡاموا

And had God willed, He would certainly have taken away their hearing and their sight.

ولو سا الله لدهٮ ٮسمعهم واٮصرهم

He who made for you the earth a bed, and the sky a structure, and who sent down from the sky water, by which He brought forth fruits as provision for you.

الدى حعل لكم الارص ڡرسا والسما ٮٮا واٮرل مں السما ما ڡاحرح ٮه مں الٮمرٮ ررڡا لكم

And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our obedient one, bring, then, a surah like it,

واں كٮٮم ڡى رٮٮ مما ٮرلٮا على عٮدٮا ڡاٮوا ٮسوره مں مٮله

If you do not do it — and you will never do it — guard yourselves, then, against the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones,

ڡاں لم ٮڡعلوا ولں ٮڡعلوا ڡاٮڡوا الٮار الٮى وڡودها الٮاس والححاره

And announce to those who have believed and done sound deeds that they will have gardens beneath which rivers flow.

وٮسر الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ اں لهم حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر

Every time they are provided therein with a fruit as provision, they say: "This is what we were provided with before";

كلما ررڡوا مٮها مں ٮمره ررڡا ڡالوا هدا الدى ررڡٮا مں ڡٮل

and it is brought to them, resembling.

واٮوا ٮه مٮسٮها

And they will have therein purified spouses,

ولهم ڡٮها اروح مطهره

God is indeed not shy of multiplying an example, be it that of a gnat or something greater.

اں الله لا ٮسٮحى اں ٮصرٮ مٮلا ما ٮعوصه ڡما ڡوڡها

As for those who have believed, they know that it is the truth from their Guardian;

ڡاما الدٮں امٮوا ڡٮعلموں اٮه الحٯ مں رٮهم

and as for those who disown, they say: "What did God intend by this example?"

واما الدٮں كڡروا ڡٮڡولوں مادا اراد الله ٮهدا مٮلا

and He leads astray by it only the oversteppers, those who break the pact of God after the solemn engagement that binds it, cut off what God ordered to be joined, and sow corruption on the earth.

وما ٮصل ٮه الا الڡسڡٮں الدٮں ٮٮڡصوں عهد الله مں ٮعد مٮٮڡه وٮڡطعوں ما امر الله ٮه اں ٮوصل وٮڡسدوں ڡى الارص

How can you disown God, when you were dead and He gave you life; then He will cause you to die,

كٮڡ ٮكڡروں ٮالله وكٮٮم اموٮا ڡاحٮكم ٮم ٮمٮٮكم

It is He who created for you all that is on the earth,

هو الدى حلٯ لكم ما ڡى الارص حمٮعا

then He proceeded toward the sky, and proportioned them into seven heavens;

ٮم اسٮوى الى السما ڡسوٮهں سٮع سموٮ

And when your Guardian said to the Agents: "I am going to place a successor on the earth."

واد ڡال رٮك للملٮكه اٮى حاعل ڡى الارص حلٮڡه

They said: "Will You place therein one who will sow corruption in it and shed blood, while we glorify You with praise and proclaim Your holiness?"

ڡالوا اٮحعل ڡٮها مں ٮڡسد ڡٮها وٮسڡك الدما وٮحں ٮسٮح ٮحمدك وٮڡدس لك

He said: "O Adam! Inform them of their attributes."

ڡال ٮادم اٮٮٮهم ٮاسماٮهم

And when We said to the Agents: "Prostrate before Adam", they prostrated,

واد ڡلٮا للملٮكه اسحدوا لادم ڡسحدوا

And We said: "O Adam! Dwell, you and your spouse, in the Garden, and eat from it, at your ease, wherever you will,

وڡلٮا ٮادم اسكں اٮٮ وروحك الحٮه وكلا مٮها رعدا حٮٮ سٮٮما

But the Diverter made them slip out of it, and drove them out of the state they were in;

ڡارلهما السٮطں عٮها ڡاحرحهما مما كاٮا ڡٮه

and We said: "Descend,

وڡلٮا اهٮطوا

enemies to one another,

ٮعصكم لٮعص عدو

Then Adam received words from his Guardian, and He turned toward him with clemency.

ڡٮلڡى ادم مں رٮه كلمٮ ڡٮاٮ علٮه

We said: "Descend from it, all together;

ڡلٮا اهٮطوا مٮها حمٮعا

And believe in what I have sent down, confirming what is with you, and do not be the first to disown it;

وامٮوا ٮما اٮرلٮ مصدڡا لما معكم ولا ٮكوٮوا اول كاڡر ٮه

And maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality,

واڡٮموا الصلوه واٮوا الركوه

Do you order virtue upon men, while forgetting yourselves, when you recite the Scripture?

اٮامروں الٮاس ٮالٮر وٮٮسوں اٮڡسكم واٮٮم ٮٮلوں الكٮٮ

And when We saved you from the clan of Fir'awn, who inflicted upon you the worst of punishments, slaughtering your sons and violating the modesty of your women —

واد ٮحٮٮكم مں ال ڡرعوں ٮسوموٮكم سو العداٮ ٮدٮحوں اٮٮاكم وٮسٮحٮوں ٮساكم

And when We gave Moussa the Scripture

واد اٮٮٮا موسى الكٮٮ

And when Moussa said to his people: "O my people! You have indeed wronged yourselves by taking the calf; turn back, then, to your Giver of existence, and kill one another,

واد ڡال موسى لڡومه ٮڡوم اٮكم طلمٮم اٮڡسكم ٮاٮحادكم العحل ڡٮوٮوا الى ٮارٮكم ڡاڡٮلوا اٮڡسكم

that is better for you with your Giver of existence."

دلكم حٮر لكم عٮد ٮارٮكم

He turned toward you with clemency, then:

ڡٮاٮ علٮكم

And We spread over you the shade of the cloud, and sent down upon you manna and quails:

وطللٮا علٮكم العمام واٮرلٮا علٮكم المں والسلوى

"Eat of the wholesome things We have provided you" —

كلوا مں طٮٮٮ ما ررڡٮكم

And when We said: "Enter this city, eat from it wherever you will, at your ease, enter by the gate, prostrate, and say: Unburden us — We will forgive you your faults,

واد ڡلٮا ادحلوا هده الڡرٮه ڡكلوا مٮها حٮٮ سٮٮم رعدا وادحلوا الٮاٮ سحدا وڡولوا حطه ٮعڡر لكم حطٮكم

And when Moussa asked for drink for his people; We said: "Strike the rock with your staff";

واد اسٮسڡى موسى لڡومه ڡڡلٮا اصرٮ ٮعصاك الححر

and behold, twelve springs gushed forth from it:

ڡاٮڡحرٮ مٮه اٮٮٮا عسره عٮٮا

each group of men knew its drinking place.

ڡد علم كل اٮاس مسرٮهم

Eat and drink of God's provision,

كلوا واسرٮوا مں ررٯ الله

And when you said: "O Moussa! We can never endure a single kind of food; invoke, then, your Guardian for us, that He bring forth for us of what the earth grows, of its herbs, its cucumbers, its garlic, its lentils, and its onions."

واد ڡلٮم ٮموسى لں ٮصٮر على طعام وحد ڡادع لٮا رٮك ٮحرح لٮا مما ٮٮٮٮ الارص مں ٮڡلها وڡٮاٮها وڡومها وعدسها وٮصلها

He said: "Would you take what is immediate in exchange for what is better?

ڡال اٮسٮٮدلوں الدى هو ادٮى ٮالدى هو حٮر

Descend, then, to Egypt, for you will find there what you have asked."

اهٮطوا مصرا ڡاں لكم ما سالٮم

And humiliation and misery were imprinted upon them, and they incurred the anger of God.

وصرٮٮ علٮهم الدله والمسكٮه وٮاو ٮعصٮ مں الله

That is because they used to disown the signs of God, and kill the informants without right.

دلك ٮاٮهم كاٮوا ٮكڡروں ٮاٮٮ الله وٮڡٮلوں الٮٮٮں ٮعٮر الحٯ

And when We took your solemn engagement, and elevated above you the Mount:

واد احدٮا مٮٮڡكم ورڡعٮا ڡوڡكم الطور

Then you turned your backs after that;

ٮم ٮولٮٮم مں ٮعد دلك

And when Moussa said to his people: "God orders you to slaughter a cow."

واد ڡال موسى لڡومه اں الله ٮامركم اں ٮدٮحوا ٮڡره

They said: "Do you take us in mockery?"

ڡالوا اٮٮحدٮا هروا

They said: "Invoke your Guardian for us, that He make clear to us what it is."

ڡالوا ادع لٮا رٮك ٮٮٮں لٮا ما هى

He said: "He says she is a cow neither old nor virgin,

ڡال اٮه ٮڡول اٮها ٮڡره لا ڡارص ولا ٮكر

of middle age between the two;

عواں ٮٮں دلك

They said: "Invoke your Guardian for us, that He make clear to us her color."

ڡالوا ادع لٮا رٮك ٮٮٮں لٮا ما لوٮها

He said: "He says she is a yellow cow, of a vivid color,

ڡال اٮه ٮڡول اٮها ٮڡره صڡرا ڡاڡع لوٮها

He said: "He says she is a cow not made docile to stir up the earth or water the tilth,

ڡال اٮه ٮڡول اٮها ٮڡره لا دلول ٮٮٮر الارص ولا ٮسڡى الحرٮ

unblemished, without any spot."

مسلمه لا سٮه ڡٮها

They said: "Now you bring the truth."

ڡالوا الں حٮٮ ٮالحٯ

And when you killed a Self, and pushed one another back concerning it —

واد ڡٮلٮم ٮڡسا ڡادرٮم ڡٮها

We then said: "Strike him with a part of it";

ڡڡلٮا اصرٮوه ٮٮعصها

Then your cores hardened after that, so that they are like stone, or harder still.

ٮم ڡسٮ ڡلوٮكم مں ٮعد دلك ڡهى كالححاره او اسد ڡسوه

And there are surely, among stones, those from which rivers gush forth;

واں مں الححاره لما ٮٮڡحر مٮه الاٮهر

and there are surely, among them, those which split, and water comes out of them;

واں مٮها لما ٮسڡٯ ڡٮحرح مٮه الما

and there are surely, among them, those which descend, out of dread of God.

واں مٮها لما ٮهٮط مں حسٮه الله

And when they meet those who have believed, they say: "We have believed";

وادا لڡوا الدٮں امٮوا ڡالوا امٮا

and when they are alone with one another, they say: "Will you recount to them what God has opened to you, that they may dispute with you about it before your Guardian?"

وادا حلا ٮعصهم الى ٮعص ڡالوا اٮحدٮوٮهم ٮما ڡٮح الله علٮكم لٮحاحوكم ٮه عٮد رٮكم

And among them, there are people without a prior Scripture, who know the Scripture only through vain wishes,

ومٮهم امٮوں لا ٮعلموں الكٮٮ الا اماٮى

Woe, then, to those who write the Scripture with their hands, then say: "This is from God", to buy with it a paltry price!

ڡوٮل للدٮں ٮكٮٮوں الكٮٮ ٮاٮدٮهم ٮم ٮڡولوں هدا مں عٮد الله لٮسٮروا ٮه ٮمٮا ڡلٮلا

Woe to them for what their hands have written,

ڡوٮل لهم مما كٮٮٮ اٮدٮهم

And they said: "The Fire will touch us only for numbered days."

وڡالوا لں ٮمسٮا الٮار الا اٮاما معدوده

Say: "Have you taken a pact with God — God never fails His pact —,

ڡل اٮحدٮم عٮد الله عهدا ڡلں ٮحلڡ الله عهده

And when We took the solemn engagement of the Sons of Israel: "You shall obey none but God,

واد احدٮا مٮٮٯ ٮٮى اسرٮل لا ٮعٮدوں الا الله

and beneficence toward the two parents, relatives, orphans, and the destitute;

وٮالولدٮں احساٮا ودى الڡرٮى والٮٮمى والمسكٮں

and say to men what is beautiful;

وڡولوا للٮاس حسٮا

and maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality";

واڡٮموا الصلوه واٮوا الركوه

Then here you are, nonetheless, killing one another, and expelling a fraction of your own from their abodes, supporting one another against them in transgression and hostility;

ٮم اٮٮم هولا ٮڡٮلوں اٮڡسكم وٮحرحوں ڡرٮڡا مٮكم مں دٮرهم ٮطهروں علٮهم ٮالاٮم والعدوں

and if they come to you as captives, you exchange them, even though their expulsion was prohibited to you.

واں ٮاٮوكم اسرى ٮڡدوهم وهو محرم علٮكم احراحهم

Do you believe, then, in part of the Scripture, and disown another part?

اڡٮومٮوں ٮٮعص الكٮٮ وٮكڡروں ٮٮعص

What, then, is the recompense of whoever among you acts thus, but disgrace in the present life?

ڡما حرا مں ٮڡعل دلك مٮكم الا حرى ڡى الحٮوه الدٮٮا

And on the Day of Appearance, they will be brought back to the most severe of punishments.

وٮوم الڡٮمه ٮردوں الى اسد العداٮ

We indeed gave Moussa the Scripture, and We made the messengers follow after him.

ولڡد اٮٮٮا موسى الكٮٮ وڡڡٮٮا مں ٮعده ٮالرسل

And We gave Issa, son of Maryam, the clear proofs, and We fortified him with the sacred Influx.

واٮٮٮا عٮسى اٮں مرٮم الٮٮٮٮ واٮدٮه ٮروح الڡدس

Every time a messenger came to you with what your own Selves did not lean toward, did you not grow proud?

اڡكلما حاكم رسول ٮما لا ٮهوى اٮڡسكم اسٮكٮرٮم

And they said: "Our cores are wrapped up";

وڡالوا ڡلوٮٮا علڡ

And when a scripture came to them from God, confirming what is with them — though before they used to ask for the opening against those who disowned —,

ولما حاهم كٮٮ مں عٮد الله مصدٯ لما معهم وكاٮوا مں ڡٮل ٮسٮڡٮحوں على الدٮں كڡروا

when, then, there came to them what they recognized, they disowned it.

ڡلما حاهم ما عرڡوا كڡروا ٮه

How evil is that with which they bought their own Selves: to disown what God sent down, out of iniquity, because God sends down of His favor upon whom He wills among His obedient ones!

ٮٮسما اسٮروا ٮه اٮڡسهم اں ٮكڡروا ٮما اٮرل الله ٮعٮا اں ٮٮرل الله مں ڡصله على مں ٮسا مں عٮاده

They incurred, then, anger upon anger.

ڡٮاو ٮعصٮ على عصٮ

And when it is said to them: "Believe in what God has sent down", they say: "We believe in what was sent down upon us"; and they disown what is beyond it,

وادا ڡٮل لهم امٮوا ٮما اٮرل الله ڡالوا ٮومں ٮما اٮرل علٮٮا وٮكڡروں ٮما وراه

and it is the truth, confirming what is with them.

وهو الحٯ مصدڡا لما معهم

And when We took your solemn engagement, and elevated above you the Mount:

واد احدٮا مٮٮڡكم ورڡعٮا ڡوڡكم الطور

"Take with strength what We have given you, and listen."

حدوا ما اٮٮٮكم ٮڡوه واسمعوا

They said: "We have heard and disobeyed";

ڡالوا سمعٮا وعصٮٮا

and their cores were made to drink in the calf, because of their disowning.

واسرٮوا ڡى ڡلوٮهم العحل ٮكڡرهم

But they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have prepared.

ولں ٮٮمٮوه اٮدا ٮما ڡدمٮ اٮدٮهم

And you will surely find them, of all men, the keenest on life,

ولٮحدٮهم احرص الٮاس على حٮوه

even more than those who have associated; one of them would like to live a thousand years,

ومں الدٮں اسركوا ٮود احدهم لو ٮعمر الڡ سٮه

but that would not pull him away at all from the punishment, even if he lived that long.

وما هو ٮمرحرحه مں العداٮ اں ٮعمر

We have indeed sent down to you clear signs,

ولڡد اٮرلٮا الٮك اٮٮ ٮٮٮٮ

Is it that, every time they conclude a pact, a fraction among them casts it aside?

اوكلما عهدوا عهدا ٮٮده ڡرٮٯ مٮهم

And they followed what the Diverters recited concerning the dominion of Sulayman.

واٮٮعوا ما ٮٮلوا السٮطٮں على ملك سلٮمں

But Sulayman never disowned,

وما كڡر سلٮمں

but it is the Diverters who disowned, teaching men illusion, and what was sent down upon the two kings at Babel, Harut and Marut;

ولكں السٮطٮں كڡروا ٮعلموں الٮاس السحر وما اٮرل على الملكٮں ٮٮاٮل هروٮ ومروٮ

and those two did not teach anyone without first saying: "We are only a trial, do not disown, then."

وما ٮعلماں مں احد حٮى ٮڡولا اٮما ٮحں ڡٮٮه ڡلا ٮكڡر

They learned from them, then, that by which they separate a man from his spouse;

ڡٮٮعلموں مٮهما ما ٮڡرڡوں ٮه ٮٮں المر وروحه

but they harm no one by that, except with God's permission.

وما هم ٮصارٮں ٮه مں احد الا ٮادں الله

And they learn what harms them and does not benefit them.

وٮٮعلموں ما ٮصرهم ولا ٮٮڡعهم

They indeed knew that whoever bought it would have, in the last life, no allotment.

ولڡد علموا لمں اسٮرٮه ما له ڡى الاحره مں حلٯ

O you who have believed! Do not say "Disdain us", but say "Look at us", and listen.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا لا ٮڡولوا رعٮا وڡولوا اٮطرٮا واسمعوا

Those who disown, among the people of the Scripture, and the associators would not like any good to be sent down upon you from your Guardian;

ما ٮود الدٮں كڡروا مں اهل الكٮٮ ولا المسركٮں اں ٮٮرل علٮكم مں حٮر مں رٮكم

but God reserves His benevolence for whom He wills.

والله ٮحٮص ٮرحمٮه مں ٮسا

Whatever sign We copy, or leave to be forgotten, We bring one better than it, or similar to it.

ما ٮٮسح مں اٮه او ٮٮسها ٮاٮ ٮحٮر مٮها او مٮلها

Or would you question your messenger as Moussa was questioned before?

ام ٮرٮدوں اں ٮسلوا رسولكم كما سٮل موسى مں ڡٮل

Many, among the people of the Scripture, would like to bring you back, after your faith, to a disowning,

ود كٮٮر مں اهل الكٮٮ لو ٮردوٮكم مں ٮعد اٮمٮكم كڡارا

out of envy, from themselves, after the truth has become clear to them.

حسدا مں عٮد اٮڡسهم مں ٮعد ما ٮٮٮں لهم الحٯ

Overlook, then, and turn the page, until God brings His command.

ڡاعڡوا واصڡحوا حٮى ٮاٮى الله ٮامره

And maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality.

واڡٮموا الصلوه واٮوا الركوه

And whatever good you advance for yourselves, you will find it with God.

وما ٮڡدموا لاٮڡسكم مں حٮر ٮحدوه عٮد الله

And they said: "None will enter the Garden, except one who belongs to the Reoriented or the Helpers."

وڡالوا لں ٮدحل الحٮه الا مں كاں هودا او ٮصرى

Those are their vain wishes.

ٮلك اماٮٮهم

And the Reoriented said: "The Helpers rest on nothing"; and the Helpers said: "The Reoriented rest on nothing"; while they recite the Scripture.

وڡالٮ الٮهود لٮسٮ الٮصرى على سى وڡالٮ الٮصرى لٮسٮ الٮهود على سى وهم ٮٮلوں الكٮٮ

Thus said those who do not know, in a saying like theirs.

كدلك ڡال الدٮں لا ٮعلموں مٮل ڡولهم

And who, then, does more wrong than one who prevents God's name from being mentioned in God's places of prostration, and endeavors to dismantle them?

ومں اطلم ممں مٮع مسحد الله اں ٮدكر ڡٮها اسمه وسعى ڡى حراٮها

Those should not enter them except fearful.

اولٮك ما كاں لهم اں ٮدحلوها الا حاٮڡٮں

They have, in the present life, a disgrace,

لهم ڡى الدٮٮا حرى

And to God belong the east and the west:

ولله المسرٯ والمعرٮ

wherever you turn, there is the direction of God.

ڡاٮٮما ٮولوا ڡٮم وحه الله

And they said: "God has taken a child."

وڡالوا اٮحد الله ولدا

Glory be to Him!

سٮحٮه

To Him, rather, belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth;

ٮل له ما ڡى السموٮ والارص

Unprecedented Creator of the heavens and the earth.

ٮدٮع السموٮ والارص

When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be",

وادا ڡصى امرا ڡاٮما ٮڡول له كں

And those who do not know said: "Why does God not speak to us, or why does a sign not come to us!"

وڡال الدٮں لا ٮعلموں لولا ٮكلمٮا الله او ٮاٮٮٮا اٮه

Thus said those before them, in a saying like theirs;

كدلك ڡال الدٮں مں ڡٮلهم مٮل ڡولهم

their cores resemble one another.

ٮسٮهٮ ڡلوٮهم

We have sent you, in truth, as a bearer of good tidings and a warner,

اٮا ارسلٮك ٮالحٯ ٮسٮرا وٮدٮرا

And neither the Reoriented nor the Helpers will ever be satisfied with you, until you follow their doctrine.

ولں ٮرصى عٮك الٮهود ولا الٮصرى حٮى ٮٮٮع ملٮهم

Say: "The guidance of God, that is the guidance."

ڡل اں هدى الله هو الهدى

Those to whom We have given the Scripture, and who recite it as it should be recited, those are the ones who believe in it.

الدٮں اٮٮٮهم الكٮٮ ٮٮلوٮه حٯ ٮلاوٮه اولٮك ٮومٮوں ٮه

And when the Guardian of Ibrahim tested him with words, which he completed.

واد اٮٮلى اٮرهم رٮه ٮكلمٮ ڡاٮمهں

He said: "I am indeed going to make you a guide for mankind."

ڡال اٮى حاعلك للٮاس اماما

He said: "And among my descendants?"

ڡال ومں درٮٮى

And when We made the House, for mankind, a place to come back to, and a security; and they took, from the station of Ibrahim, a place of Contact.

واد حعلٮا الٮٮٮ مٮاٮه للٮاس وامٮا واٮحدوا مں مڡام اٮرهم مصلى

And when Ibrahim said: "My Guardian, make of this a secure land, and provide its inhabitants with fruits, those among them who believe in God and the Last Day."

واد ڡال اٮرهم رٮ احعل هدا ٮلدا امٮا واررٯ اهله مں الٮمرٮ مں امں مٮهم ٮالله والٮوم الاحر

He said: "And whoever disowns, I grant him a brief enjoyment, then I press him hard toward the punishment of the Fire."

ڡال ومں كڡر ڡامٮعه ڡلٮلا ٮم اصطره الى عداٮ الٮار

And when Ibrahim was elevating the foundations of the House, with Isma'il:

واد ٮرڡع اٮرهم الڡواعد مں الٮٮٮ واسمعٮل

Our Guardian, make us both true to You alone, and, of our descendants, a community true to You alone.

رٮٮا واحعلٮا مسلمٮں لك ومں درٮٮٮا امه مسلمه لك

And show us our beneficent practices.

وارٮا مٮاسكٮا

And turn toward us with clemency.

وٮٮ علٮٮا

Our Guardian, and raise up among them a messenger, from among themselves, who recites Your signs to them, teaches them the Scripture and the wisdom, and purifies them.

رٮٮا واٮعٮ ڡٮهم رسولا مٮهم ٮٮلوا علٮهم اٮٮك وٮعلمهم الكٮٮ والحكمه وٮركٮهم

And who, then, falls away from the doctrine of Ibrahim, but one who makes a fool of his own Self?

ومں ٮرعٮ عں مله اٮرهم الا مں سڡه ٮڡسه

We indeed chose him in the present life,

ولڡد اصطڡٮٮه ڡى الدٮٮا

When his Guardian said to him: "Be true to Me alone";

اد ڡال له رٮه اسلم

And Ibrahim made this a recommendation to his sons,

ووصى ٮها اٮرهم ٮٮٮه

Or were you witnesses, when death presented itself to Yaacoub, when he said to his sons: "What will you obey after me?"

ام كٮٮم سهدا اد حصر ٮعڡوٮ الموٮ اد ڡال لٮٮٮه ما ٮعٮدوں مں ٮعدى

That is a community that has already passed:

ٮلك امه ڡد حلٮ

to it what it earned,

لها ما كسٮٮ

and to you what you earned;

ولكم ما كسٮٮم

And they said: "Be Reoriented or Helpers, you will let yourselves be guided."

وڡالوا كوٮوا هودا او ٮصرى ٮهٮدوا

Say: "No, rather the doctrine of Ibrahim, wholly turned toward God",

ڡل ٮل مله اٮرهم حٮٮڡا

If they believe in what you have believed in, they then let themselves be guided;

ڡاں امٮوا ٮمٮل ما امٮٮم ٮه ڡڡد اهٮدوا

and if they turn their backs, they are then only in a rupture;

واں ٮولوا ڡاٮما هم ڡى سڡاٯ

God will soon suffice you against them:

ڡسٮكڡٮكهم الله

The dye of God —

صٮعه الله

and who dyes better than God? —

ومں احسں مں الله صٮعه

Say: "Do you dispute with us about God, when He is our Guardian and your Guardian? To us our works, to you yours;

ڡل اٮحاحوٮٮا ڡى الله وهو رٮٮا ورٮكم ولٮا اعملٮا ولكم اعملكم

Or do you say: "Ibrahim, Isma'il, Ishaq, Yaacoub, and the bloodlines were Reoriented or Helpers"?

ام ٮڡولوں اں اٮرهم واسمعٮل واسحٯ وٮعڡوٮ والاسٮاط كاٮوا هودا او ٮصرى

Say: "Is it you who know best, or God?"

ڡل اٮٮم اعلم ام الله

And who, then, does more wrong than one who withholds a testimony he holds, coming from God?

ومں اطلم ممں كٮم سهده عٮده مں الله

That is a community that has already passed:

ٮلك امه ڡد حلٮ

to it what it earned,

لها ما كسٮٮ

and to you what you earned;

ولكم ما كسٮٮم

The fools, among mankind, will say: "What has turned them away from their rallying point, the one they used to be upon?"

سٮڡول السڡها مں الٮاس ما ولٮهم عں ڡٮلٮهم الٮى كاٮوا علٮها

Say: "To God belong the east and the west;

ڡل لله المسرٯ والمعرٮ

And thus have We made you an exemplary community,

وكدلك حعلٮكم امه وسطا

so that you may be witnesses against mankind, and the messenger a witness against you.

لٮكوٮوا سهدا على الٮاس وٮكوں الرسول علٮكم سهٮدا

And We had placed the rallying point, the one you were upon, only to distinguish who follows the messenger from who turns back on his heels.

وما حعلٮا الڡٮله الٮى كٮٮ علٮها الا لٮعلم مں ٮٮٮع الرسول ممں ٮٮڡلٮ على عڡٮٮه

That was indeed heavy, except for those God has guided.

واں كاٮٮ لكٮٮره الا على الدٮں هدى الله

And it is not for God to let your faith dissipate.

وما كاں الله لٮصٮع اٮمٮكم

We will indeed see your face turning in every direction in the sky; We will then surely give you as your course a rallying point that satisfies you.

ڡد ٮرى ٮڡلٮ وحهك ڡى السما ڡلٮولٮٮك ڡٮله ٮرصٮها

Set your course, then, for the inviolable place of prostration,

ڡول وحهك سطر المسحد الحرام

and wherever you are, set your course for it.

وحٮٮ ما كٮٮم ڡولوا وحوهكم سطره

And those to whom the Scripture was given surely know that it is the truth from their Guardian.

واں الدٮں اوٮوا الكٮٮ لٮعلموں اٮه الحٯ مں رٮهم

And even if you brought to those to whom the Scripture was given every sign, they would not follow your rallying point.

ولٮں اٮٮٮ الدٮں اوٮوا الكٮٮ ٮكل اٮه ما ٮٮعوا ڡٮلٮك

And you will not follow their rallying point;

وما اٮٮ ٮٮاٮع ڡٮلٮهم

nor do some of them follow the rallying point of others.

وما ٮعصهم ٮٮاٮع ڡٮله ٮعص

Those to whom We gave the Scripture recognize it as they recognize their own sons,

الدٮں اٮٮٮهم الكٮٮ ٮعرڡوٮه كما ٮعرڡوں اٮٮاهم

The truth comes from your Guardian;

الحٯ مں رٮك

And each has a direction that has been given him as his course; race, then, in good deeds.

ولكل وحهه هو مولٮها ڡاسٮٮڡوا الحٮرٮ

Wherever you are, God will bring you all back.

اٮں ما ٮكوٮوا ٮاٮ ٮكم الله حمٮعا

And from wherever you come out, set your course for the inviolable place of prostration:

ومں حٮٮ حرحٮ ڡول وحهك سطر المسحد الحرام

it is surely the truth from your Guardian.

واٮه للحٯ مں رٮك

And from wherever you come out, set your course for the inviolable place of prostration,

ومں حٮٮ حرحٮ ڡول وحهك سطر المسحد الحرام

and wherever you are, set your course for it, so that men may have no argument against you — except those among them who do wrong; do not dread them, then, but dread Me —

وحٮٮ ما كٮٮم ڡولوا وحوهكم سطره لٮلا ٮكوں للٮاس علٮكم ححه الا الدٮں طلموا مٮهم ڡلا ٮحسوهم واحسوٮى

O you who have believed! Seek help in patience and the Contact:

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا اسٮعٮٮوا ٮالصٮر والصلوه

And do not say of those who are killed in the way of God that they are dead.

ولا ٮڡولوا لمں ٮڡٮل ڡى سٮٮل الله اموٮ

Those are the ones upon whom rest contacts from their Guardian, and a benevolence,

اولٮك علٮهم صلوٮ مں رٮهم ورحمه

Safa and Marwa are indeed among the perceptible markers of God.

اں الصڡا والمروه مں سعاٮر الله

Whoever performs the Hajj of the House or performs the Umra, no blame upon him for visiting them.

ڡمں حح الٮٮٮ او اعٮمر ڡلا حٮاح علٮه اں ٮطوڡ ٮهما

Indeed, those who disown and die while disowning — those are the ones upon whom weighs the curse of God, the Agents, and mankind, all together, wherein they will abide eternally;

اں الدٮں كڡروا وماٮوا وهم كڡار اولٮك علٮهم لعٮه الله والملٮكه والٮاس احمعٮں حلدٮں ڡٮها

And your deity is one deity;

والهكم اله وحد

there is no deity but Him,

لا اله الا هو

And among mankind, there are some who take, besides God, equals, whom they love as one loves God;

ومں الٮاس مں ٮٮحد مں دوں الله اٮدادا ٮحٮوٮهم كحٮ الله

but those who have believed are even more intense in the love of God.

والدٮں امٮوا اسد حٮا لله

And those who followed will say: "If only we had a comeback, we would declare ourselves quit of them as they have declared themselves quit of us."

وڡال الدٮں اٮٮعوا لو اں لٮا كره ڡٮٮٮرا مٮهم كما ٮٮروا مٮا

Thus does God show them their works, as desolations for them,

كدلك ٮرٮهم الله اعملهم حسرٮ علٮهم

O mankind! Eat of what is on the earth, of what is permitted and wholesome,

ٮاٮها الٮاس كلوا مما ڡى الارص حللا طٮٮا

and do not follow the footsteps of the Diverter:

ولا ٮٮٮعوا حطوٮ السٮطں

And when it is said to them: "Follow what God has sent down", they say: "No, we follow what we found our ancestors upon."

وادا ڡٮل لهم اٮٮعوا ما اٮرل الله ڡالوا ٮل ٮٮٮع ما الڡٮٮا علٮه اٮاٮا

And the example of those who disown is that of one who cries out to what hears nothing but a call and a shout.

ومٮل الدٮں كڡروا كمٮل الدى ٮٮعٯ ٮما لا ٮسمع الا دعا وٮدا

He has prohibited to you only the dead animal, blood, the flesh of swine, and what has been consecrated to other than God.

اٮما حرم علٮكم المٮٮه والدم ولحم الحٮرٮر وما اهل ٮه لعٮر الله

But whoever is hard-pressed into it, without being rebellious or crossing the limits, no transgression upon him.

ڡمں اصطر عٮر ٮاع ولا عاد ڡلا اٮم علٮه

Indeed, those who withhold what God has sent down of the Scripture, and buy with it a paltry price — those are the ones who consume nothing in their bellies but the Fire; God will not speak to them on the Day of Appearance, and will not purify them,

اں الدٮں ٮكٮموں ما اٮرل الله مں الكٮٮ وٮسٮروں ٮه ٮمٮا ڡلٮلا اولٮك ما ٮاكلوں ڡى ٮطوٮهم الا الٮار ولا ٮكلمهم الله ٮوم الڡٮمه ولا ٮركٮهم

That is because God sent down the Scripture in truth,

دلك ٮاں الله ٮرل الكٮٮ ٮالحٯ

Virtue does not consist in turning your faces toward the east or the west,

لٮس الٮر اں ٮولوا وحوهكم ڡٮل المسرٯ والمعرٮ

but virtue is one who believes in God, the Last Day, the Agents, the Scripture, and the informants, and who gives of his goods, despite his love for them, to relatives, orphans, the destitute, the passing traveler, those who ask, and for freeing those under the burden of a debt, who maintains the Contact and gives pure liberality,

ولكں الٮر مں امں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر والملٮكه والكٮٮ والٮٮٮں واٮى المال على حٮه دوى الڡرٮى والٮٮمى والمسكٮں واٮں السٮٮل والساٮلٮں وڡى الرڡاٮ واڡام الصلوه واٮى الركوه

those who are faithful to their pact when they have made a pact,

والموڡوں ٮعهدهم ادا عهدوا

and the patient in adversity, hardship, and at the moment of violence:

والصٮرٮں ڡى الٮاسا والصرا وحٮں الٮاس

those are the ones who have been veracious,

اولٮك الدٮں صدڡوا

O you who have believed! The investigation is prescribed for you concerning those killed:

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا كٮٮ علٮكم الڡصاص ڡى الڡٮلى

the independent with the independent, the obedient one with the obedient one, and the woman with the woman.

الحر ٮالحر والعٮد ٮالعٮد والاٮٮى ٮالاٮٮى

But for the one whose brother overlooks something: a pursuit according to what is recognized, and a discharge in good grace.

ڡمں عڡى له مں احٮه سى ڡاٮٮاع ٮالمعروڡ وادا الٮه ٮاحسں

That is a lightening from your Guardian, and a benevolence.

دلك ٮحڡٮڡ مں رٮكم ورحمه

It is prescribed for you, when death presents itself to one of you, if he leaves some good,

كٮٮ علٮكم ادا حصر احدكم الموٮ اں ٮرك حٮرا

the testament in favor of the two parents and relatives, according to what is recognized:

الوصٮه للولدٮں والاڡرٮٮں ٮالمعروڡ

And whoever changes it after having heard it, the transgression thereof falls only upon those who change it.

ڡمں ٮدله ٮعدما سمعه ڡاٮما اٮمه على الدٮں ٮٮدلوٮه

But whoever fears, on the part of a testator, a partiality or a transgression, and reconciles them, no transgression upon him.

ڡمں حاڡ مں موص حٮڡا او اٮما ڡاصلح ٮٮٮهم ڡلا اٮم علٮه

O you who have believed! Abstention is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, perhaps you will guard yourselves, for numbered days.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا كٮٮ علٮكم الصٮام كما كٮٮ على الدٮں مں ڡٮلكم لعلكم ٮٮڡوں اٮاما معدودٮ

And whoever among you is sick, or on a journey, then a number of other days;

ڡمں كاں مٮكم مرٮصا او على سڡر ڡعده مں اٮام احر

and for those who have the capacity for it, a compensation, the feeding of a destitute person.

وعلى الدٮں ٮطٮڡوٮه ڡدٮه طعام مسكٮں

And whoever does good willingly, it is better for him;

ڡمں ٮطوع حٮرا ڡهو حٮر له

The month of refreshment, that in which this Recitation was sent down, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of guidance and the Discernment.

سهر رمصاں الدى اٮرل ڡٮه الڡراں هدى للٮاس وٮٮٮٮ مں الهدى والڡرڡاں

Whoever among you attests the beginning of that month, let him abstain in it;

ڡمں سهد مٮكم السهر ڡلٮصمه

and whoever is sick, or on a journey, then a number of other days.

ومں كاں مرٮصا او على سڡر ڡعده مں اٮام احر

God wants for you ease, He does not want for you hardship,

ٮرٮد الله ٮكم الٮسر ولا ٮرٮد ٮكم العسر

And when My obedient ones ask you about Me, I am near:

وادا سالك عٮادى عٮى ڡاٮى ڡرٮٮ

I answer the call of the one who calls upon Me, when he calls upon Me.

احٮٮ دعوه الداع ادا دعاں

Permitted to you, on the night of abstention, is intimacy with your women:

احل لكم لٮله الصٮام الرڡٮ الى ٮساٮكم

they are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them.

هں لٮاس لكم واٮٮم لٮاس لهں

God knew that you were betraying yourselves; He turned toward you with clemency, then, and overlooked it for you.

علم الله اٮكم كٮٮم ٮحٮاٮوں اٮڡسكم ڡٮاٮ علٮكم وعڡا عٮكم

So now, unite with them,

ڡالں ٮسروهں

and seek what God has prescribed for you.

واٮٮعوا ما كٮٮ الله لكم

And eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinguishable to you from the black thread of dawn,

وكلوا واسرٮوا حٮى ٮٮٮٮں لكم الحٮط الاٮٮص مں الحٮط الاسود مں الڡحر

then complete the abstention until night.

ٮم اٮموا الصٮام الى الٮل

And do not unite with them, while you are in residence in the places of prostration.

ولا ٮٮسروهں واٮٮم عكڡوں ڡى المسحد

Those are the limits of God,

ٮلك حدود الله

so do not approach them.

ڡلا ٮڡرٮوها

They ask you about public announcements.

ٮسلوٮك عں الاهله

Say: "They are appointed times for mankind, and for the Hajj.

ڡل هى موڡٮٮ للٮاس والحح

And virtue does not consist in coming to houses from their backs,

ولٮس الٮر ٮاں ٮاٮوا الٮٮوٮ مں طهورها

but virtue is one who guards himself.

ولكں الٮر مں اٮڡى

Come, then, to houses by their doors,

واٮوا الٮٮوٮ مں اٮوٮها

And fight, in the way of God, those who fight you, but do not commit aggression:

وڡٮلوا ڡى سٮٮل الله الدٮں ٮڡٮلوٮكم ولا ٮعٮدوا

And kill them wherever you surprise them, and expel them from where they expelled you:

واڡٮلوهم حٮٮ ٮڡڡٮموهم واحرحوهم مں حٮٮ احرحوكم

the trial is more severe than killing.

والڡٮٮه اسد مں الڡٮل

And do not fight them near the inviolable place of prostration, until they fight you there;

ولا ٮڡٮلوهم عٮد المسحد الحرام حٮى ٮڡٮلوكم ڡٮه

but if they fight you, kill them then:

ڡاں ڡٮلوكم ڡاڡٮلوهم

And fight them until there is no more trial, and the Law is for God;

وڡٮلوهم حٮى لا ٮكوں ڡٮٮه وٮكوں الدٮں لله

The inviolable month for the inviolable month, and for inviolable things, an investigation.

السهر الحرام ٮالسهر الحرام والحرمٮ ڡصاص

Whoever has committed aggression against you, commit aggression against him to the extent of his aggression against you,

ڡمں اعٮدى علٮكم ڡاعٮدوا علٮه ٮمٮل ما اعٮدى علٮكم

And spend in the way of God, but do not cast what you hold in hand into annihilation; and do good:

واٮڡڡوا ڡى سٮٮل الله ولا ٮلڡوا ٮاٮدٮكم الى الٮهلكه واحسٮوا

And complete the Hajj and the Umra for God.

واٮموا الحح والعمره لله

And if you are impeded, then whatever offering is easily available.

ڡاں احصرٮم ڡما اسٮٮسر مں الهدى

And do not shave your heads until the offering has reached its place of delivery;

ولا ٮحلڡوا روسكم حٮى ٮٮلع الهدى محله

and whoever among you is sick, or suffers a nuisance of the head, then a compensation by abstention, charity, or a beneficent practice.

ڡمں كاں مٮكم مرٮصا او ٮه ادى مں راسه ڡڡدٮه مں صٮام او صدڡه او ٮسك

And once secure, whoever enjoys the Umra until the Hajj, then whatever offering is easily available.

ڡادا امٮٮم ڡمں ٮمٮع ٮالعمره الى الحح ڡما اسٮٮسر مں الهدى

And whoever does not find the means, then an abstention of three days during the Hajj, and seven once you have returned: that is ten full days.

ڡمں لم ٮحد ڡصٮام ٮلٮه اٮام ڡى الحح وسٮعه ادا رحعٮم ٮلك عسره كامله

That, for one whose family is not present at the inviolable place of prostration.

دلك لمں لم ٮكں اهله حاصرى المسحد الحرام

The Hajj takes place in known months.

الحح اسهر معلومٮ

Whoever commits himself thereby to the Hajj, then no obscenity, no overstepping, and no arguing during the Hajj.

ڡمں ڡرص ڡٮهں الحح ڡلا رڡٮ ولا ڡسوٯ ولا حدال ڡى الحح

And whatever good you do, God knows it.

وما ٮڡعلوا مں حٮر ٮعلمه الله

And take your provisions;

وٮرودوا

for the best of provisions is guardedness.

ڡاں حٮر الراد الٮڡوى

No blame upon you for seeking a favor from your Guardian.

لٮس علٮكم حٮاح اں ٮٮٮعوا ڡصلا مں رٮكم

And when you surge forth from Arafat, remember God near the Inviolable Perceptible Marker,

ڡادا اڡصٮم مں عرڡٮ ڡادكروا الله عٮد المسعر الحرام

Then surge forth from where men surge forth,

ٮم اڡٮصوا مں حٮٮ اڡاص الٮاس

and ask God's forgiveness.

واسٮعڡروا الله

And when you have completed your beneficent practices, remember God as you remember your ancestors, or with an even more intense remembrance.

ڡادا ڡصٮٮم مٮسككم ڡادكروا الله كدكركم اٮاكم او اسد دكرا

Those are the ones who have a portion of what they have earned.

اولٮك لهم ٮصٮٮ مما كسٮوا

And remember God during numbered days.

وادكروا الله ڡى اٮام معدودٮ

And whoever hastens in two days, no transgression upon him;

ڡمں ٮعحل ڡى ٮومٮں ڡلا اٮم علٮه

and whoever adjourns his departure, no transgression upon him, for one who guards himself.

ومں ٮاحر ڡلا اٮم علٮه لمں اٮڡى

And when he turns his back, he endeavours on the earth to sow corruption in it, and to annihilate tilth and offspring.

وادا ٮولى سعى ڡى الارص لٮڡسد ڡٮها وٮهلك الحرٮ والٮسل

And when it is said to him: "Guard yourself toward God", might seizes him in transgression; Jahannam suffices him, then.

وادا ڡٮل له اٮٯ الله احدٮه العره ٮالاٮم ڡحسٮه حهٮم

And among mankind, there is one who sells his own Self, seeking the good pleasure of God.

ومں الٮاس مں ٮسرى ٮڡسه اٮٮعا مرصاٮ الله

O you who have believed! Enter into peace, in totality,

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا ادحلوا ڡى السلم كاڡه

and do not follow the footsteps of the Diverter:

ولا ٮٮٮعوا حطوٮ السٮطں

Do they await only that God come to them in canopies of clouds,

هل ٮٮطروں الا اں ٮاٮٮهم الله ڡى طلل مں العمام

with the Agents, and that the matter be decided?

والملٮكه وڡصى الامر

Ask the Sons of Israel how many clear signs We gave them.

سل ٮٮى اسرٮل كم اٮٮٮهم مں اٮه ٮٮٮه

The present life has been embellished for those who disown, and they scoff at those who have believed;

رٮں للدٮں كڡروا الحٮوه الدٮٮا وٮسحروں مں الدٮں امٮوا

but those who guard themselves will be above them, on the Day of Appearance.

والدٮں اٮڡوا ڡوڡهم ٮوم الڡٮمه

Mankind formed a single community; God then raised up the informants, bearers of good tidings and warners, and sent down with them the Scripture, in truth, so that it might judge between men what they differed over.

كاں الٮاس امه وحده ڡٮعٮ الله الٮٮٮں مٮسرٮں ومٮدرٮں واٮرل معهم الكٮٮ ٮالحٯ لٮحكم ٮٮں الٮاس ڡٮما احٮلڡوا ڡٮه

And only those to whom it was given diverged over it,

وما احٮلڡ ڡٮه الا الدٮں اوٮوه

after the clear proofs had come to them, out of iniquity among themselves.

مں ٮعد ما حاٮهم الٮٮٮٮ ٮعٮا ٮٮٮهم

God then guided those who believed to the truth over which they diverged, with His permission.

ڡهدى الله الدٮں امٮوا لما احٮلڡوا ڡٮه مں الحٯ ٮادٮه

Or did you think you would enter the Garden, when there has not yet come to you the equivalent of what those who passed before you experienced? Adversity and hardship touched them, and they were shaken to the point that the messenger and those who had believed with him said: "When, then, is the help of God?"

ام حسٮٮم اں ٮدحلوا الحٮه ولما ٮاٮكم مٮل الدٮں حلوا مں ڡٮلكم مسٮهم الٮاسا والصرا ورلرلوا حٮى ٮڡول الرسول والدٮں امٮوا معه مٮى ٮصر الله

They ask you: what should they spend?

ٮسلوٮك مادا ٮٮڡڡوں

Say: "Whatever good you spend belongs to the two parents, relatives, orphans, the destitute, and the passing traveler.

ڡل ما اٮڡڡٮم مں حٮر ڡللولدٮں والاڡرٮٮں والٮٮمى والمسكٮں واٮں السٮٮل

Combat is prescribed for you, though it is distasteful to you.

كٮٮ علٮكم الڡٮال وهو كره لكم

And it may be that you dislike a thing, while it is a good for you;

وعسى اں ٮكرهوا سٮا وهو حٮر لكم

and it may be that you like a thing, while it is an ill for you.

وعسى اں ٮحٮوا سٮا وهو سر لكم

God knows,

والله ٮعلم

They ask you about the inviolable month, combat taking place in it.

ٮسلوٮك عں السهر الحرام ڡٮال ڡٮه

Say: "To fight in it is grave;

ڡل ڡٮال ڡٮه كٮٮر

but to bar from the way of God, to disown Him, to bar from the inviolable place of prostration, and to expel its inhabitants from it, is graver still with God;

وصد عں سٮٮل الله وكڡر ٮه والمسحد الحرام واحراح اهله مٮه اكٮر عٮد الله

and the trial is graver than killing.

والڡٮٮه اكٮر مں الڡٮل

And they will not cease to fight you until they make you renounce your Law, if they can.

ولا ٮرالوں ٮڡٮلوٮكم حٮى ٮردوكم عں دٮٮكم اں اسٮطعوا

And whoever among you renounces his Law, and dies while disowning — those are the ones whose works have collapsed, in the present life and in the last life,

ومں ٮرٮدد مٮكم عں دٮٮه ڡٮمٮ وهو كاڡر ڡاولٮك حٮطٮ اعملهم ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

Indeed, those who have believed, those who have emigrated and have striven in the way of God — those are the ones who hope for the benevolence of God.

اں الدٮں امٮوا والدٮں هاحروا وحهدوا ڡى سٮٮل الله اولٮك ٮرحوں رحمٮ الله

They ask you about wine and games of chance.

ٮسلوٮك عں الحمر والمٮسر

Say: "There is, in both, a great transgression, and profits for men;

ڡل ڡٮهما اٮم كٮٮر ومٮڡع للٮاس

but their transgression is greater than their profit."

واٮمهما اكٮر مں ٮڡعهما

Thus does God make the signs clear to you, perhaps you will reflect on the present life and on the last life.

كدلك ٮٮٮں الله لكم الاٮٮ لعلكم ٮٮڡكروں ڡى الدٮٮا والاحره

And they ask you about orphans. Say: "Making their situation sound is a good;

وٮسلوٮك عں الٮٮمى ڡل اصلاح لهم حٮر

and if you mix your affairs with theirs, they are your brothers.

واں ٮحالطوهم ڡاحوٮكم

God distinguishes the corrupter from him who makes things sound.

والله ٮعلم المڡسد مں المصلح

And had God willed, He would have overwhelmed you.

ولو سا الله لاعٮٮكم

And do not marry women who associate, until they believe;

ولا ٮٮكحوا المسركٮ حٮى ٮومں

and a believing obedient woman is indeed better than a woman who associates, even if she dazzles you.

ولامه مومٮه حٮر مں مسركه ولو اعحٮٮكم

And do not give in marriage to those who associate, until they believe;

ولا ٮٮكحوا المسركٮں حٮى ٮومٮوا

and a believing obedient man is indeed better than a man who associates, even if he dazzles you.

ولعٮد مومں حٮر مں مسرك ولو اعحٮكم

Those are the ones who call toward the Fire,

اولٮك ٮدعوں الى الٮار

while God calls toward the Garden and forgiveness, with His permission,

والله ٮدعوا الى الحٮه والمعڡره ٮادٮه

And they ask you about menstruation. Say: "It is a nuisance;

وٮسلوٮك عں المحٮص ڡل هو ادى

so keep away from women during menstruation,

ڡاعٮرلوا الٮسا ڡى المحٮص

and do not approach them until they are no longer inconvenienced.

ولا ٮڡرٮوهں حٮى ٮطهرں

And once they are no longer so, unite with them from where God has ordered you.

ڡادا ٮطهرں ڡاٮوهں مں حٮٮ امركم الله

Your women are a tilth for you; unite, then, with your tilth as you will,

ٮساوكم حرٮ لكم ڡاٮوا حرٮكم اٮى سٮٮم

and advance for yourselves;

وڡدموا لاٮڡسكم

and guard yourselves toward God,

واٮڡوا الله

and know that you will meet Him.

واعلموا اٮكم ملڡوه

And do not make God, in your oaths, a pretext you use at will,

ولا ٮحعلوا الله عرصه لاٮمٮكم

to vouch that you are virtuous, that you guard yourselves, and that you reconcile men.

اں ٮٮروا وٮٮڡوا وٮصلحوا ٮٮں الٮاس

God will not hold you to account for idle talk in your oaths,

لا ٮواحدكم الله ٮاللعو ڡى اٮمٮكم

but He will hold you to account for what your cores have earned.

ولكں ٮواحدكم ٮما كسٮٮ ڡلوٮكم

For those who swear to abstain from their women, a period of expectancy of four months;

للدٮں ٮولوں مں ٮساٮهم ٮرٮص ارٮعه اسهر

And repudiated women observe a period of expectancy of three cycles;

والمطلڡٮ ٮٮرٮصں ٮاٮڡسهں ٮلٮه ڡرو

and it is not permitted for them to withhold what God has created in their wombs, if they believe in God and the Last Day.

ولا ٮحل لهں اں ٮكٮمں ما حلٯ الله ڡى ارحامهں اں كں ٮومں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر

And their husbands have greater right to bring them back during this period, if they want a reconciliation.

وٮعولٮهں احٯ ٮردهں ڡى دلك اں ارادوا اصلحا

And they have rights equivalent to their obligations, according to what is recognized;

ولهں مٮل الدى علٮهں ٮالمعروڡ

and men have, over them, a degree.

وللرحال علٮهں درحه

Repudiation is twice.

الطلٯ مرٮاں

Then, either a resumption according to what is recognized, or a release in good grace.

ڡامساك ٮمعروڡ او ٮسرٮح ٮاحسں

And it is not permitted for you to take back anything of what you gave them, unless both fear that they will not maintain the limits of God.

ولا ٮحل لكم اں ٮاحدوا مما اٮٮٮموهں سٮا الا اں ٮحاڡا الا ٮڡٮما حدود الله

And if you fear that they will not maintain the limits of God, no blame upon them both for what she ransoms herself with.

ڡاں حڡٮم الا ٮڡٮما حدود الله ڡلا حٮاح علٮهما ڡٮما اڡٮدٮ ٮه

Those are the limits of God,

ٮلك حدود الله

so do not cross them.

ڡلا ٮعٮدوها

If he repudiates her, she is no longer permitted to him thereafter, until she marries a spouse other than him.

ڡاں طلڡها ڡلا ٮحل له مں ٮعد حٮى ٮٮكح روحا عٮره

And if this one repudiates her, no blame upon them both for reuniting, if they presume they will maintain the limits of God.

ڡاں طلڡها ڡلا حٮاح علٮهما اں ٮٮراحعا اں طٮا اں ٮڡٮما حدود الله

And when you repudiate women, and they reach their term, retain them according to what is recognized, or release them according to what is recognized;

وادا طلڡٮم الٮسا ڡٮلعں احلهں ڡامسكوهں ٮمعروڡ او سرحوهں ٮمعروڡ

and do not retain them to harm, to commit aggression.

ولا ٮمسكوهں صرارا لٮعٮدوا

And whoever does that has wronged himself.

ومں ٮڡعل دلك ڡڡد طلم ٮڡسه

And do not take the signs of God in mockery.

ولا ٮٮحدوا اٮٮ الله هروا

And remember God's blessing upon you, and what He has sent down upon you of the Scripture and the wisdom, by which He exhorts you.

وادكروا ٮعمٮ الله علٮكم وما اٮرل علٮكم مں الكٮٮ والحكمه ٮعطكم ٮه

And guard yourselves toward God,

واٮڡوا الله

And when you repudiate women, and they reach their term, do not put obstacles to their marrying their spouses, once there is mutual satisfaction between them according to what is recognized.

وادا طلڡٮم الٮسا ڡٮلعں احلهں ڡلا ٮعصلوهں اں ٮٮكحں اروحهں ادا ٮرصوا ٮٮٮهم ٮالمعروڡ

That is what whoever among you believes in God and the Last Day is exhorted to.

دلك ٮوعط ٮه مں كاں مٮكم ٮومں ٮالله والٮوم الاحر

That is purer for you, and cleaner.

دلكم اركى لكم واطهر

And mothers take their children into care for two full years,

والولدٮ ٮرصعں اولدهں حولٮں كاملٮں

for whoever wants to complete this care.

لمں اراد اں ٮٮم الرصاعه

And it is incumbent upon the one to whom the child is born to provide their provision and their clothing, according to what is recognized.

وعلى المولود له ررڡهں وكسوٮهں ٮالمعروڡ

No Self is burdened beyond its capacity.

لا ٮكلڡ ٮڡس الا وسعها

Let no mother be harmed because of her child, nor the one to whom the child is born, because of his child.

لا ٮصار ولده ٮولدها ولا مولود له ٮولده

And upon the heir falls the same thing.

وعلى الوارٮ مٮل دلك

And if they want a weaning, by mutual satisfaction between them and after conferring, no blame upon them both.

ڡاں ارادا ڡصالا عں ٮراص مٮهما وٮساور ڡلا حٮاح علٮهما

And if you want to have your children taken into care, no blame upon you, once you hand over what you are to give, according to what is recognized.

واں اردٮم اں ٮسٮرصعوا اولدكم ڡلا حٮاح علٮكم ادا سلمٮم ما اٮٮٮم ٮالمعروڡ

And guard yourselves toward God,

واٮڡوا الله

And those among you who are kept faithfully, forsaking wives, they observe a period of expectancy of four months and ten;

والدٮں ٮٮوڡوں مٮكم وٮدروں اروحا ٮٮرٮصں ٮاٮڡسهں ارٮعه اسهر وعسرا

and once they reach their term, no blame upon you for what they do with themselves according to what is recognized.

ڡادا ٮلعں احلهں ڡلا حٮاح علٮكم ڡٮما ڡعلں ڡى اٮڡسهں ٮالمعروڡ

And no blame upon you, in what you hint at as a proposal of marriage to women, or what you conceal within yourselves.

ولا حٮاح علٮكم ڡٮما عرصٮم ٮه مں حطٮه الٮسا او اكٮٮٮم ڡى اٮڡسكم

God knows that you will think of them; but do not promise them anything in secret,

علم الله اٮكم سٮدكروٮهں ولكں لا ٮواعدوهں سرا

except to say a recognized saying.

الا اں ٮڡولوا ڡولا معروڡا

And do not conclude the marriage contract before the document reaches its term.

ولا ٮعرموا عڡده الٮكاح حٮى ٮٮلع الكٮٮ احله

And know that God knows what is in your Selves; beware of Him, then.

واعلموا اں الله ٮعلم ما ڡى اٮڡسكم ڡاحدروه

No blame upon you, if you repudiate women while you have not touched them, or have not fixed an obligation for them.

لا حٮاح علٮكم اں طلڡٮم الٮسا ما لم ٮمسوهں او ٮڡرصوا لهں ڡرٮصه

And grant them an enjoyment — the well-off according to his measure, and the modest according to his measure — an enjoyment according to what is recognized:

ومٮعوهں على الموسع ڡدره وعلى المڡٮر ڡدره مٮعا ٮالمعروڡ

And if you repudiate them before having touched them, while you have fixed an obligation for them, half of what you fixed, unless they overlook it, or unless he in whose hands is the marriage contract overlooks it.

واں طلڡٮموهں مں ڡٮل اں ٮمسوهں وڡد ڡرصٮم لهں ڡرٮصه ڡٮصڡ ما ڡرصٮم الا اں ٮعڡوں او ٮعڡوا الدى ٮٮده عڡده الٮكاح

And that you overlook is closer to guardedness.

واں ٮعڡوا اڡرٮ للٮڡوى

And do not forget the favor between you.

ولا ٮٮسوا الڡصل ٮٮٮكم

And if you fear, then on foot or mounted;

ڡاں حڡٮم ڡرحالا او ركٮاٮا

And those among you who are kept faithfully, forsaking wives — a recommendation in favor of their wives: an enjoyment until the anniversary, without expulsion;

والدٮں ٮٮوڡوں مٮكم وٮدروں اروحا وصٮه لاروحهم مٮعا الى الحول عٮر احراح

but if they leave, no blame upon you for what they do with themselves, within what is recognized.

ڡاں حرحں ڡلا حٮاح علٮكم ڡى ما ڡعلں ڡى اٮڡسهں مں معروڡ

And for repudiated women, an enjoyment according to what is recognized:

وللمطلڡٮ مٮع ٮالمعروڡ

Have you not seen those who went out of their abodes, by thousands, wary of death? God then said to them: "Die"; then He brought them back to life.

الم ٮر الى الدٮں حرحوا مں دٮرهم وهم الوڡ حدر الموٮ ڡڡال لهم الله موٮوا ٮم احٮهم

God surely holds a favor toward mankind,

اں الله لدو ڡصل على الٮاس

Who, then, will make God a beautiful loan, which He will double for him many times over?

مں دا الدى ٮڡرص الله ڡرصا حسٮا ڡٮصعڡه له اصعاڡا كٮٮره

God tightens and extends,

والله ٮڡٮص وٮٮصط

Have you not seen the court, among the Sons of Israel, after Moussa, when they said to an informant of theirs: "Raise up for us a king, that we may fight in the way of God"?

الم ٮر الى الملا مں ٮٮى اسرٮل مں ٮعد موسى اد ڡالوا لٮٮى لهم اٮعٮ لٮا ملكا ٮڡٮل ڡى سٮٮل الله

He said: "Might it be that, if combat were prescribed for you, you would not fight?"

ڡال هل عسٮٮم اں كٮٮ علٮكم الڡٮال الا ٮڡٮلوا

They said: "And what reason would we have not to fight in the way of God, when we have been expelled from our abodes and from our sons?"

ڡالوا وما لٮا الا ٮڡٮل ڡى سٮٮل الله وڡد احرحٮا مں دٮرٮا واٮٮاٮٮا

But when combat was prescribed for them, they turned their backs, except a small number of them.

ڡلما كٮٮ علٮهم الڡٮال ٮولوا الا ڡلٮلا مٮهم

And their informant said to them: "God has indeed raised up for you Talut as king."

وڡال لهم ٮٮٮهم اں الله ڡد ٮعٮ لكم طالوٮ ملكا

They said: "How would he have the dominion over us, when we have more right to it than he, and he has not been given ampleness of goods?"

ڡالوا اٮى ٮكوں له الملك علٮٮا وٮحں احٯ ٮالملك مٮه ولم ٮوٮ سعه مں المال

He said: "God has indeed chosen him over you, and increased him in breadth of knowledge and constitution."

ڡال اں الله اصطڡٮه علٮكم وراده ٮسطه ڡى العلم والحسم

God gives His dominion to whom He wills.

والله ٮوٮى ملكه مں ٮسا

And their informant said to them: "The sign of his dominion will be that the coffer comes to you, wherein is a tranquility from your Guardian, and a remnant of what the clan of Moussa and the clan of Harun left, carried by the Agents."

وڡال لهم ٮٮٮهم اں اٮه ملكه اں ٮاٮٮكم الٮاٮوٮ ڡٮه سكٮٮه مں رٮكم وٮڡٮه مما ٮرك ال موسى وال هروں ٮحمله الملٮكه

When Talut set out with the armies, he said: "God is going to test you with a river: whoever drinks from it is not one of mine, and whoever does not feed on it is indeed one of mine — except one who draws a scoop with his hand."

ڡلما ڡصل طالوٮ ٮالحٮود ڡال اں الله مٮٮلٮكم ٮٮهر ڡمں سرٮ مٮه ڡلٮس مٮى ومں لم ٮطعمه ڡاٮه مٮى الا مں اعٮرڡ عرڡه ٮٮده

They drank from it, except a small number of them.

ڡسرٮوا مٮه الا ڡلٮلا مٮهم

Then, when he and those who had believed with him had traversed it, they said: "We have no strength today against Jalut and his armies."

ڡلما حاوره هو والدٮں امٮوا معه ڡالوا لا طاڡه لٮا الٮوم ٮحالوٮ وحٮوده

Those who presumed that they would meet God said: "How many a small battalion has overcome a large battalion, with God's permission!"

ڡال الدٮں ٮطٮوں اٮهم ملڡوا الله كم مں ڡٮه ڡلٮله علٮٮ ڡٮه كٮٮره ٮادں الله

And when they came out to face Jalut and his armies, they said: "Our Guardian, inundate us with patience, make firm our steps, and help us against the people who disown"; they routed them then, with God's permission,

ولما ٮرروا لحالوٮ وحٮوده ڡالوا رٮٮا اڡرع علٮٮا صٮرا وٮٮٮ اڡدامٮا واٮصرٮا على الڡوم الكڡرٮں ڡهرموهم ٮادں الله

and Dawud killed Jalut; God gave him dominion and wisdom, and taught him what He willed.

وڡٮل داود حالوٮ واٮٮه الله الملك والحكمه وعلمه مما ٮسا

And were it not for God repelling men, some by others, the earth would indeed have been given over to corruption;

ولولا دڡع الله الٮاس ٮعصهم ٮٮعص لڡسدٮ الارص

Those are the signs of God, which We recite to you in truth,

ٮلك اٮٮ الله ٮٮلوها علٮك ٮالحٯ

Those are the messengers:

ٮلك الرسل

We favored some of them above others.

ڡصلٮا ٮعصهم على ٮعص

Among them, there is one to whom God spoke,

مٮهم مں كلم الله

and He elevated others in degrees.

ورڡع ٮعصهم درحٮ

And We gave Issa, son of Maryam, the clear proofs, and We fortified him with the sacred Influx.

واٮٮٮا عٮسى اٮں مرٮم الٮٮٮٮ واٮدٮه ٮروح الڡدس

And had God willed, those who came after them would not have fought one another, after the clear proofs had come to them;

ولو سا الله ما اڡٮٮل الدٮں مں ٮعدهم مں ٮعد ما حاٮهم الٮٮٮٮ

but they diverged:

ولكں احٮلڡوا

among them, there are some who believed, and some who disowned.

ڡمٮهم مں امں ومٮهم مں كڡر

And had God willed, they would not have fought one another;

ولو سا الله ما اڡٮٮلوا

O you who have believed! Spend from what We have provided you, before a day comes wherein there will be neither selling, nor friendship, nor intercession.

ٮاٮها الدٮں امٮوا اٮڡڡوا مما ررڡٮكم مں ڡٮل اں ٮاٮى ٮوم لا ٮٮع ڡٮه ولا حله ولا سڡعه

God, there is no deity but Him,

الله لا اله الا هو

the Living, the Self-Subsisting.

الحى الڡٮوم

Neither somnolence nor sleep seizes Him.

لا ٮاحده سٮه ولا ٮوم

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

له ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص

Who, then, intercedes with Him, except with His permission?

مں دا الدى ٮسڡع عٮده الا ٮادٮه

He knows what is before them and what is behind them,

ٮعلم ما ٮٮں اٮدٮهم وما حلڡهم

and they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except as far as He wills.

ولا ٮحٮطوں ٮسى مں علمه الا ٮما سا

And His Seat extends over the heavens and the earth,

وسع كرسٮه السموٮ والارص

and their preservation weighs on Him not at all.

ولا ٮوده حڡطهما

No compulsion in the Law:

لا اكراه ڡى الدٮں

rectitude has become distinct from errancy.

ڡد ٮٮٮں الرسد مں العى

Whoever disowns the Overreacher and believes in God has held firmly to the surest handhold, which never breaks.

ڡمں ٮكڡر ٮالطعوٮ وٮومں ٮالله ڡڡد اسٮمسك ٮالعروه الوٮڡى لا اٮڡصام لها

God is the protector of those who have believed, He brings them out of the darknesses toward the light.

الله ولى الدٮں امٮوا ٮحرحهم مں الطلمٮ الى الٮور

And those who disown, their protectors are the Overreacher, who brings them out of the light toward the darknesses.

والدٮں كڡروا اولٮاوهم الطعوٮ ٮحرحوٮهم مں الٮور الى الطلمٮ

Have you not seen him who disputed with Ibrahim about his Guardian, because God had given him dominion? When Ibrahim said: "My Guardian is He who gives life and causes death",

الم ٮر الى الدى حاح اٮرهم ڡى رٮه اں اٮٮه الله الملك اد ڡال اٮرهم رٮى الدى ٮحى وٮمٮٮ

he said: "I give life and cause death."

ڡال اٮا احى وامٮٮ

Ibrahim said: "God indeed brings the sun from the east; bring it, then, from the west"; so the one who disowned was left with his words unraveled.

ڡال اٮرهم ڡاں الله ٮاٮى ٮالسمس مں المسرٯ ڡاٮ ٮها مں المعرٮ ڡٮهٮ الدى كڡر

Or like him who passed by a city, empty despite its edifices.

او كالدى مر على ڡرٮه وهى حاوٮه على عروسها

He said: "How will God bring this back to life, after its death?" God then caused him to die for a hundred years, then He raised him.

ڡال اٮى ٮحى هده الله ٮعد موٮها ڡاماٮه الله ماٮه عام ٮم ٮعٮه

He said: "How long have you remained?"

ڡال كم لٮٮٮ

He said: "I have remained a day, or part of a day."

ڡال لٮٮٮ ٮوما او ٮعص ٮوم

He said: "No, you have remained a hundred years.

ڡال ٮل لٮٮٮ ماٮه عام

Look, then, at your food and your drink: they have not waited;

ڡاٮطر الى طعامك وسراٮك لم ٮٮسٮه

and look at your donkey —

واٮطر الى حمارك

and so that We may make of you a sign for mankind.

ولٮحعلك اٮه للٮاس

And look at the bones, how We deploy them, then clothe them with flesh."

واٮطر الى العطام كٮڡ ٮٮسرها ٮم ٮكسوها لحما

And when Ibrahim said: "My Guardian, show me how You bring the dead back to life."

واد ڡال اٮرهم رٮ ارٮى كٮڡ ٮحى الموٮى

He said: "Do you not believe, then?"

ڡال اولم ٮومں

He said: "Yes, but it is so that my core may be calmed."

ڡال ٮلى ولكں لٮطمٮں ڡلٮى

He said: "Take, then, four birds, tame them to yourself, then place, on each mountain, a part of them, then call them: they will come to you at a run.

ڡال ڡحد ارٮعه مں الطٮر ڡصرهں الٮك ٮم احعل على كل حٮل مٮهں حرا ٮم ادعهں ٮاٮٮٮك سعٮا

The example of those who spend their goods in the way of God is that of a grain which grows seven ears,

مٮل الدٮں ٮٮڡڡوں امولهم ڡى سٮٮل الله كمٮل حٮه اٮٮٮٮ سٮع سٮاٮل
