In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
O you who believe! Fulfill your commitments. Livestock animals are permitted for you, except those specified to you; but not
wild game while you are in pilgrim sanctity.
Allah decrees whatever He wills.
- O you who believe! Do not violate Allah’s
sacraments, nor the Sacred Month, nor the
offerings, nor the garlanded, nor those heading for the Sacred House seeking blessings
from their Lord and approval. When you
have left the pilgrim sanctity, you may hunt.
And let not the hatred of people who barred
you from the Sacred Mosque incite you to aggression. And cooperate with one another in
virtuous conduct and conscience, and do not
cooperate with one another in sin and hostility. And fear Allah. Allah is severe in punishment. - Prohibited for you are carrion, blood, the
flesh of swine, and animals dedicated to other
than Allah; also the flesh of animals strangled, killed violently, killed by a fall, gored to
death, mangled by wild animals—except
what you rescue, and animals sacrificed on
altars; and the practice of drawing lots. For it
is immoral. Today, those who disbelieve have
despaired of your religion, so do not fear
them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected
your religion for you, and have completed
My favor upon you, and have approved Islam
as a religion for you. But whoever is compelled by hunger, with no intent of wrongdoing—Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - They ask you what is permitted for them.
Say, “Permitted for you are all good things,
including what trained dogs and falcons
catch for you.” You train them according to
what Allah has taught you. So eat from what
they catch for you, and pronounce Allah’s
name over it. And fear Allah. Allah is Swift in
reckoning. - Today all good things are made lawful for
you. And the food of those given the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful
for them. So are chaste believing women, and
chaste women from the people who were
given the Scripture before you, provided you
give them their dowries, and take them in
marriage, not in adultery, nor as mistresses.
But whoever rejects faith, his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. - O you who believe! When you rise to pray,
wash your faces and your hands and arms to
the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your
feet to the ankles. If you had intercourse, then
purify yourselves. If you are ill, or travelling,
or one of you returns from the toilet, or you
had contact with women, and could not find
water, then use some clean sand and wipe
your faces and hands with it. Allah does not
intend to burden you, but He intends to purify you, and to complete His blessing upon
you, that you may be thankful. - And Remember Allah’s blessings upon you,
and His covenant which He covenanted with
you; when you said, “We hear and we obey.”
And remain conscious of Allah, for Allah
knows what the hearts contain. - O you who believe! Be upright to Allah, witnessing with justice; and let not the hatred of
a certain people prevent you from acting
justly. Adhere to justice, for that is nearer to
piety; and fear Allah. Allah is informed of
what you do. - Allah has promised those who believe and
work righteousness: they will have forgiveness and a great reward. - As for those who disbelieve and reject Our
revelations—these are the inmates of Hell. - O you who believe! Remember Allah’s
blessings upon you; when certain people intended to extend their hands against you, and
He restrained their hands from you. So reverence Allah, and in Allah let the believers
put their trust. - Allah received a pledge from the Children
of Israel, and We raised among them twelve
chiefs. Allah said, “I am with you; if you perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and believe in My messengers and support them,
and lend Allah a loan of righteousness; I will
remit your sins, and admit you into Gardens
beneath which rivers flow. But whoever
among you disbelieves afterwards has strayed
from the right way.” - Because of their breaking their pledge, We
cursed them, and made their hearts hard.
They twist the words out of their context, and
they disregarded some of what they were reminded of. You will always witness deceit
from them, except for a few of them. But pardon them, and overlook. Allah loves the doers of good. - And from those who say, “We are Christians,” We received their pledge, but they neglected some of what they were reminded of.
So We provoked enmity and hatred among
them until the Day of Resurrection; Allah will
then inform them of what they used to craft. - O People of the Book! Our Messenger has
come to you, clarifying for you much of what
you kept hidden of the Book, and overlooking much. A light from Allah has come to
you, and a clear Book. - Allah guides with it whoever follows His
approval to the ways of peace, and He brings
them out of darkness into light, by His permission, and He guides them in a straight
path. - They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the
Christ, the son of Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent Allah, if He willed, from annihilating the
Christ son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?” To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what
is between them. He creates whatever He
wills, and Allah has power over everything. - The Jews and the Christians say, “We are
the children of Allah, and His beloved.” Say,
“Why then does He punish you for your
sins?” In fact, you are humans from among
those He created. He forgives whom He wills,
and He punishes whom He wills. To Allah
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the
earth and what lies between them, and to
Him is the return. - O People of the Book! Our Messenger has
come to you, making things clear to you—after a cessation of messengers—so that you
cannot say, “No preacher has come to us, and
no warner.” In fact, a preacher has come to you, and a warner; and Allah is Capable of everything. - When Moses said to his people, “O my
people, remember Allah’s blessings upon
you, when He placed prophets among you,
and made you kings, and gave you what He
never gave any other people.” - “O my people, enter the Holy Land which
Allah has assigned for you, and do not turn
back, lest you return as losers.” - They said, “O Moses, there are tyrannical
people in it; we will not enter it until they
leave it. If they leave it, we will be entering.” - Two men of those who feared, but whom
Allah had blessed, said, “Go at them by the
gate; and when you have entered it, you will
prevail. And put your trust in Allah, if you are
believers.” - They said, “O Moses, we will not enter it,
ever, as long as they are in it. So go ahead, you
and your Lord, and fight. We are staying right
here.” - He said, “My Lord! I have control only over
myself and my brother, so separate between
us and between the wicked people.” - He said, “It is forbidden for them for forty
years. They will wander aimlessly in the land.
So do not grieve over the defiant people.” - And relate to them the true story of Adam’s
two sons: when they offered an offering, and
it was accepted from one of them, but it was
not accepted from the other. He Said, “I will
kill you.” He Said, “Allah accepts only from
the righteous.” - “If you extend your hand to kill me, I will
not extend my hand to kill you; for I fear Allah, Lord of the Worlds.” - “I would rather you bear my sin and your
sin, and you become among the inmates of
the Fire. Such is the reward for the evildoers.” - Then His soul prompted him to kill his
brother, so he killed him, and became one of
the losers. - Then Allah sent a raven digging the
ground, to show him how to cover his brother’s corpse. He said, “Woe to me! I was unable
to be like this raven, and bury my brother’s
corpse.” So he became full of regrets. - Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel: that whoever kills a person—
unless it is for murder or corruption on
earth—it is as if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if he saved
the whole of mankind. Our messengers came
to them with clarifications, but even after
that, many of them continue to commit excesses in the land. - The punishment for those who fight Allah
and His Messenger, and strive to spread corruption on earth, is that they be killed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on
opposite sides, or be banished from the land.
That is to disgrace them in this life; and in the
Hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. - Except for those who repent before you apprehend them. So know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
- O you who believe! Be conscious of Allah,
and seek the means of approach to Him, and
strive in His cause, so that you may succeed. - As for those who disbelieve, even if they
owned everything on earth, and the like of it
with it, and they offered it to ransom themselves from the torment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them.
For them is a painful punishment. - They will want to leave the Fire, but they
will not leave it. For them is a lasting punishment. - As for the thief, whether male or female,
cut their hands as a penalty for what they
have reaped—a deterrent from Allah. Allah is
Mighty and Wise. - But whoever repents after his crime, and
reforms, Allah will accept his repentance. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - Do you not know that to Allah belongs the
kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He wills, and He forgives whom He wills. And Allah is Capable of everything. - O Messenger! Do not let those who are
quick to disbelief grieve you—from among
those who say with their mouths, “We believe,” but their hearts do not believe; and
from among the Jews—listeners to lies, listeners to other people who did not come to
you. They distort words from their places,
and they say, “If you are given this, accept it;
but if you are not given it, beware.” Whomever Allah has willed to divert, you have
nothing for him from Allah. Those are they
whose hearts Allah does not intend to purify.
For them is disgrace in this world, and for
them is a great punishment in the Hereafter. - Listeners to falsehoods, eaters of illicit
earnings. If they come to you, judge between
them, or turn away from them. If you turn
away from them, they will not harm you in
the least. But if you judge, judge between
them equitably. Allah loves the equitable. - But why do they come to you for judgment,
when they have the Torah, in which is Allah’s
Law? Yet they turn away after that. These are
not believers. - We have revealed the Torah, wherein is
guidance and light. The submissive prophets
ruled the Jews according to it, so did the rabbis and the scholars, as they were required to
protect Allah’s Book, and were witnesses to it.
So do not fear people, but fear Me. And do
not sell My revelations for a cheap price.
Those who do not rule according to what Allah revealed are the unbelievers. - And We wrote for them in it: a life for a life,
an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for
an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and an equal
wound for a wound; but whoever forgoes it
in charity, it will serve as atonement for him.
Those who do not rule according to what Allah revealed are the evildoers. - In their footsteps, We sent Jesus son of
Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded him;
and We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous. - So let the people of the Gospel rule according to what Allah revealed in it. Those who
do not rule according to what Allah revealed
are the sinners. - And We revealed to you the Book, with
truth, confirming the Scripture that preceded
it, and superseding it. So judge between them
according to what Allah revealed, and do not
follow their desires if they differ from the
truth that has come to you. For each of you
We have assigned a law and a method. Had
Allah willed, He could have made you a single
nation, but He tests you through what He has
given you. So compete in righteousness. To
Allah is your return, all of you; then He will
inform you of what you had disputed. - And judge between them according to
what Allah revealed, and do not follow their
desires. And beware of them, lest they lure
you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you. But if they turn away, know
that Allah intends to strike them with some
of their sins. In fact, a great many people are
corrupt. - Is it the laws of the time of ignorance that
they desire? Who is better than Allah in judgment for people who are certain? - O you who believe! Do not take the Jews
and the Christians as allies; some of them are
allies of one another. Whoever of you allies
himself with them is one of them. Allah does
not guide the wrongdoing people. - You will see those in whose hearts is sickness racing towards them. They say, “We fear
the wheel of fate may turn against us.” But
perhaps Allah will bring about victory, or
some event of His making; thereupon they
will regret what they concealed within themselves. - Those who believe will say, “Are these the
ones who swore by Allah with their strongest
oaths that they are with you?” Their works
have failed, so they became losers. - O you who believe! Whoever of you goes
back on his religion—Allah will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, kind
towards the believers, stern with the disbelievers. They strive in the way of Allah, and
do not fear the blame of the critic. That is the
grace of Allah; He bestows it upon whomever
He wills. Allah is Embracing and Knowing. - Your allies are Allah, and His Messenger,
and those who believe—those who pray regularly, and give charity, and bow down. - Whoever allies himself with Allah, and His
Messenger, and those who believe—surely
the Party of Allah is the victorious. - O you who believe! Do not befriend those
who take your religion in mockery and as a
sport, be they from among those who were
given the Scripture before you, or the disbelievers. And obey Allah, if you are believers. - When you call to the prayer, they take it as
a joke and a trifle. That is because they are
people who do not reason. - Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do you resent us only because we believe in Allah, and
in what was revealed to us, and in what was
revealed previously; and most of you are sinners?” - Say, “Shall I inform you of worse than that
for retribution from Allah? He whom Allah
has cursed, and with whom He became angry; and He turned some of them into apes,
and swine, and idol worshipers. These are in
a worse position, and further away from the
right way.” - When they come to you, they say, “We believe,” though they have entered with disbelief, and they have departed with it. But Allah
is well aware of what they hide. - You see many of them competing with one
another in sin and hostility, and their consuming of what is illicit. What they have been
doing is truly evil. - Why do the rabbis and the priests not prevent them from speaking sinfully and from
consuming forbidden wealth? Evil is what
they have been doing. - The Jews say, “Allah’s hand is tied.” It is
their hands that are tied, and they are cursed
for what they say. In fact, His hands are outstretched; He gives as He wills. Certainly,
what was revealed to your from your Lord
will increase many of them in defiance and
blasphemy. And We placed between them
enmity and hatred, until the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they kindle the fire of war,
Allah extinguishes it. And they strive to
spread corruption on earth. Allah does not
love the corrupters. - Had the People of the Scriputure believed
and been righteous, We would have remitted
their sins, and admitted them into the Gardens of Bliss. - Had they observed the Torah, and the Gospel, and what was revealed to them from their
Lord, they would have consumed amply from
above them, and from beneath their feet.
Among them is a moderate community, but
evil is what many of them are doing. - O Messenger, convey what was revealed to
you from your Lord. But if you do not, then
you would not have delivered His message.
And Allah will protect you from the people.
Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. - Say, “O People of the Scripture! You have
no basis until you uphold the Torah, and the
Gospel, and what is revealed to you from
your Lord.” But what is revealed to you from
your Lord will increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief, so do not be sorry for
the disbelieving people. - Those who believe, and the Jews, and the
Sabians, and the Christians—whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, and does
what is right—they have nothing to fear, nor
shall they grieve. - We made a covenant with the Children of
Israel, and We sent to them messengers.
Whenever a messenger came to them with
what their souls did not desire, some of them
they accused of lying, and others they put to
death. - They assumed there would be no punishment, so they turned blind and deaf. Then Allah redeemed them, but then again many of
them turned blind and deaf. But Allah is Seeing of what they do. - They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the
Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah
himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship
Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire.
The wrongdoers have no saviors.” - They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the
third of three.” But there is no deity except
the One God. If they do not refrain from what
they say, a painful torment will befall those
among them who disbelieve. - Will they not repent to Allah and ask His
forgiveness? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had
passed away, and his mother was a woman of
truth. They both used to eat food. Note how
We make clear the revelations to them; then
note how deluded they are. - Say, “Do you worship, besides Allah, what
has no power to harm or benefit you?” But
Allah: He is the Hearer, the Knower. - Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth;
and do not follow the opinions of people who
went astray before, and misled many, and
themselves strayed off the balanced way.” - Cursed were those who disbelieved from
among the Children of Israel by the tongue of
David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because
they rebelled and used to transgress. - They used not to prevent one another from
the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what
they used to do. - You will see many of them befriending
those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their
souls prompts them to do. The wrath of Allah
fell upon them, and in the torment they will
remain. - Had they believed in Allah and the
Prophet, and in what was revealed to him,
they would not have befriended them. But
many of them are immoral. - You will find that the people most hostile
towards the believers are the Jews and the
polytheists. And you will find that the nearest
in affection towards the believers are those
who say, “We are Christians.” That is because
among them are priests and monks, and they
are not arrogant. - And when they hear what was revealed to
the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing
with tears, as they recognize the truth in it.
They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so
count us among the witnesses.” - “And why should we not believe in Allah,
and in the truth that has come to us, and hope
that our Lord will include us among the
righteous people?” - Allah will reward them for what they say—
Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where
they will stay forever. Such is the reward of
the righteous. - But as for those who disbelieve and deny
Our signs—these are the inmates of the Fire. - O you who believe! Do not prohibit the
good things Allah has permitted for you, and
do not commit aggression. Allah does not
love the aggressors. - And eat of the lawful and good things Allah
has provided for you; and be conscious of Allah, in whom you are believers. - Allah does not hold you accountable for
your unintended oaths, but He holds you accountable for your binding oaths. The atonement for it is by feeding ten needy people
from the average of what you feed your families, or by clothing them, or by freeing a
slave. Anyone who lacks the means shall fast
for three days. That is the atonement for
breaking your oaths when you have sworn
them. So keep your oaths. Thus Allah makes
clear His Revelations to you, that you may be
grateful. - O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling,
idolatry, and divination are abominations of
Satan’s doing. Avoid them, so that you may
prosper. - Satan wants to provoke strife and hatred
among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to prevent you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer. Will you
not desist? - Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and
be cautious. If you turn away—know that the
duty of Our Messenger is clear communication. - Those who believe and do righteous deeds
will not be blamed for what they may have
eaten, provided they obey, and believe, and
do good deeds, then maintain piety and faith,
then remain righteous and charitable. Allah
loves the charitable. - O you who believe! Allah will test you with
something of the game your hands and spears
obtain, that Allah may know who fears Him
at heart. Whoever commits aggression after
that will have a painful punishment. - O you who believe! do not kill game while
you are in pilgrim sanctity. Whoever of you
kills any intentionally, its penalty shall be a
domestic animal comparable to what he
killed, as determined by two honest persons
among you—an offering delivered to the
Kaabah. Or he may atone by feeding the
needy, or its equivalent in fasting, so that he
may taste the consequences of his conduct.
Allah forgives what is past. But whoever repeats, Allah will take revenge on him. Allah is
Almighty, Avenger. - Permitted for you is the catch of sea, and
its food—as sustenance for you and for travelers. But forbidden for you is the game of
land while you are in pilgrim sanctity. And
fear Allah, to whom you will be gathered. - Allah has appointed the Kaabah, the Sacred
House, a sanctuary for the people, and the Sacred Month, and the offerings, and the garlanded. That you may know that Allah knows
everything in the heavens and the earth, and
that Allah is Cognizant of all things. - Know that Allah is severe in retribution,
and that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - The Messenger’s sole duty is to convey. Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
- Say: “The bad and the good are not equal,
even though the abundance of the bad may
impress you. So be conscious of Allah, O you
who possess intelligence, that you may succeed.” - O you who believe! Do not ask about
things that would trouble you if disclosed to
you. But if you were to ask about them while
the Quran is being revealed, they will become
obvious to you. Allah forgives that. Allah is
Forgiving and Clement. - A people before you asked about them, but
then came to reject them. - Allah did not institute the superstitions of
Bahirah, Saibah, Wasilah, or of Hami; but
those who disbelieve fabricate lies about Allah—most of them do not understand. - And when it is said to them, “Come to
what Allah has revealed, and to the Messenger,” they say, “Sufficient for us is what we
found our forefathers upon.” Even if their
forefathers knew nothing, and were not
guided? - O you who believe! You are responsible
for your own souls. He who has strayed cannot harm you if you are guided. To Allah is
you return, all of you, and He will inform you
of what you used to do. - O you who believe! When death approaches one of you, let two reliable persons
from among you act as witnesses to the making of a bequest, or two persons from another
people if you are travelling in the land and the
event of death approaches you. Engage them
after the prayer. If you have doubts, let them
swear by Allah: “We will not sell our testimony for any price, even if he was a near relative, and we will not conceal Allah’s testimony, for then we would be sinners.” - If it is discovered that they are guilty of
perjury: let two others take their place, two from among those responsible for the claim, and have them swear by Allah, “Our testimony is more truthful than their testimony, and we will not be biased, for then we would be wrongdoers.” - That makes it more likely that they will
give true testimony, fearing that their oaths
might be contradicted by subsequent oaths.
So fear Allah, and listen. Allah does not guide
the disobedient people. - On the Day when Allah will gather the
messengers, then say, “What response were
you given?” They will say, “We have no
knowledge; it is you who are the Knower of
the unseen.” - When Allah will say, “O Jesus son of Mary,
recall My favor upon you and upon your
mother, how I supported you with the Holy
Spirit. You spoke to the people from the crib,
and in maturity. How I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And recall that you molded from clay the
shape of a bird, by My leave, and then you
breathed into it, and it became a bird, by My
leave. And you healed the blind and the leprous, by My leave; and you revived the dead,
by My leave. And recall that I restrained the
Children of Israel from you when you
brought them the clear miracles. But those
who disbelieved among them said, `This is
nothing but obvious sorcery.’“ - “And when I inspired the disciples:
Believe in Me and in My Messenger.' They said,We have believed, so bear witness that We
have submitted.’“ - “And when the disciples said, ‘O Jesus son
of Mary, is your Lord able to bring down for
us a feast from heaven?’ He said, ‘Fear Allah,
if you are believers.’“ - They said, “We wish to eat from it, so that
our hearts may be reassured, and know that
you have told us the truth, and be among
those who witness it.” - Jesus son of Mary said, “O Allah, our Lord,
send down for us a table from heaven, to be a
festival for us, for the first of us, and the last of us, and a sign from You; and provide for us; You are the Best of providers.” - Allah said, “I will send it down to you. But
whoever among you disbelieves thereafter, I
will punish him with a punishment the like of
which I never punish any other being.” - And Allah will say, “O Jesus son of Mary,
did you say to the people, `Take me and my
mother as gods rather than Allah?’“ He will
say, “Glory be to You! It is not for me to say
what I have no right to. Had I said it, You
would have known it. You know what is in
my soul, and I do not know what is in your
soul. You are the Knower of the hidden. - I only told them what You commanded
me: that you shall worship Allah, my Lord
and your Lord. And I was a witness over them
while I was among them; but when You took
me to Yourself, you became the Watcher over
them—You are Witness over everything. - If You punish them, they are Your servants; but if You forgive them, You are the
Mighty and Wise.” - Allah will say, “This is a Day when the
truthful will benefit from their truthfulness.”
They will have Gardens beneath which rivers
flow, wherein they will remain forever. Allah
is pleased with them, and they are pleased
with Him. That is the great attainment. - To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the
heavens and the earth and what lies in them,
and He has power over everything.
