Ajet: 1

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَوۡفُواْ بِٱلۡعُقُودِۚ أُحِلَّتۡ لَكُم بَهِيمَةُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ إِلَّا مَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ غَيۡرَ مُحِلِّي ٱلصَّيۡدِ وَأَنتُمۡ حُرُمٌۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحۡكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ

1. O believers, fulfill (your) contracts (and obligations)¹. The grazing livestock are lawful to you (as food) except that which is recited to you (in this Qur’an).

1. The covenants that one has with Allāh or the contracts with people. This also includes promises, pledges, vows, oaths, etc.

Ajet: 2

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُحِلُّواْ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا ٱلشَّهۡرَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ وَلَا ٱلۡهَدۡيَ وَلَا ٱلۡقَلَٰٓئِدَ وَلَآ ءَآمِّينَ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ يَبۡتَغُونَ فَضۡلٗا مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَرِضۡوَٰنٗاۚ وَإِذَا حَلَلۡتُمۡ فَٱصۡطَادُواْۚ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ أَن تَعۡتَدُواْۘ وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَٰنِۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ

2. O believers, do not violate the rites of Allāh, the sacred months2, the animals brought for sacrifice to the percinct of the Sacred House, or the garlanded people or animals (for their security), or the people heading to the Sacred House (at Makkah) seeking the Favor of their Lord 'Allāh'. When you are free from the obligations of the pilgrimage, then you may hunt. Let not hatred of a people because they hindered you from the Sacred Mosque (at Makkah) incite you to transgress. Help one another in furthering virtue (and good morals) and warding off (evil), and do not help one another in sin and transgression. Fear Allāh and shun evil. Allāh is Severe in punishment.

2. The four sacrosanct months are Dhul-Qi‘dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muḥarram, and Rajab.

Ajet: 3

حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ وَٱلدَّمُ وَلَحۡمُ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ وَٱلۡمُنۡخَنِقَةُ وَٱلۡمَوۡقُوذَةُ وَٱلۡمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ أَكَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيۡتُمۡ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسۡتَقۡسِمُواْ بِٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ فِسۡقٌۗ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن دِينِكُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِۚ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أَكۡمَلۡتُ لَكُمۡ دِينَكُمۡ وَأَتۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمَ دِينٗاۚ فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ فِي مَخۡمَصَةٍ غَيۡرَ مُتَجَانِفٖ لِّإِثۡمٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

3. Prohibited to you (as food) is carrion3, blood4, pork, an animal slaughtered and consecrated in the name of other than Allāh, (those animals killed) by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns5, that from which wild beast have eaten, except what (you are able) to slaughter (before its death); what is slaughtered at the altars of idols. (You are prohibited also) to seek decision through divining arrows6; this is grave disobedience. This day those who deny (the Truth) have despaired of your religion, so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion, and completed My Favor on you, and approved for you Islam as a religion (and way of life). If anyone not inclined to sin is compelled by hunger (he may eat it to spare his life)7. Allāh is certainly Forgiving, Merciful.

3. Excluding dead sea creatures consumed as food.
4. Blood that has been shed from an animal is not to be eaten. Blood that is still inside an animal after slaughter is not to be eaten.
5. Strangled animals are that has not been killed in the prescribed manner by God. The prescribed manner of death is slaughter by exsanguination, or bleeding out. And from things strangled – That is, from animals or birds that were killed without shedding their blood. The reason why these are considered unlawful to be eaten is, that thus they would be under a necessity of eating blood, which is forbidden in Islam. When any beast or fowl is taken in a snare, the blood should be poured out before it is lawful to be eaten. From things strangled; such as animals that die of themselves, or are torn with beasts, or are not killed in a proper way, by letting out their blood; but their blood is stagnated or congealed in the veins. Allāh permitted mankind to eat the flesh of animals. Since they are Allah’s creatures, Allāh had the right to tell man how they should slaughter and eat His animals. 
6. This was a pagan practice before Islam, whereby they had three lots (flat marked pieces of wood) dedicated to divinations. On each there was written either: “My Lord commanded me”, “My Lord forbade me”, or nothing at all. A person would abide by what the lot told him, but if he drew the empty one, he would recast again until he drew either one of the other two.
7. To eat unlawful substances such as the meat of dead animal to save his life.

Ajet: 4

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَآ أُحِلَّ لَهُمۡۖ قُلۡ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ وَمَا عَلَّمۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ فَكُلُواْ مِمَّآ أَمۡسَكۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ

4. They ask you 'Muhammad' what is allowed to them. Say: "Lawful to you are 'all' pure foods8 and (game caught by) what you have trained of hunting dogs 'and falcons' or other beasts, which you train as Allāh has taught you. So eat of that which they catch for you9, and mention the Name of Allāh over it. Fear Allāh. For Allāh is Swift in Reckoning.

8. All good food that causes no harm to the body or the intellect.
9. A companion of the Prophet said: “O Messenger of God, I set my dog on a prey and mention Allah’s Name ”. He replied: “When you set your dog and mention Allah’s Name and he catches, kills and eats, then do not eat of the prey because he caught it for itself”. Then I said: “Sometimes I set my dog on a prey and he gets joined by another dog ˹which is not mine˺ and I do not know which one of them caught it”. He answered: “Then do not eat it because you mentioned Allah’s Name for your dog not the other”.

Ajet: 5

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُۖ وَطَعَامُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ حِلّٞ لَّكُمۡ وَطَعَامُكُمۡ حِلّٞ لَّهُمۡۖ وَٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ وَٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ إِذَآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحۡصِنِينَ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِيٓ أَخۡدَانٖۗ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ فَقَدۡ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۥ وَهُوَ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ

5. This day (all) pure foods are made lawful to you. Food of those 'the Jews and Christians' who have been given the Scripture is lawful for you10 and your food is lawful for them. (Lawful for you to marry are) the chaste among the believing women and the chaste among those who have been given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their dowries, maintaining chastity, avoiding fornication or lustful relations outside of marriage. Whoever denies Faith11, indeed his deed is in vain, and in the Hereafter, he will be of the losers.

10. Except the forbidden categories of meat. The Jews and Christians are closer to and share a degree of commonality with the Muslims because they are originally monotheistic, unlike the outright idolaters of them, which makes eating their slaughtered cattle, eatable animals and marrying their women unlawful.
11. By neglecting the pillars of Islam such as the prayer, alms giving, fasting, hajj, or by keeping an alliance and intimacy with the disbelievers.

Ajet: 6

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا قُمۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغۡسِلُواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡمَرَافِقِ وَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِرُءُوسِكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡكَعۡبَيۡنِۚ وَإِن كُنتُمۡ جُنُبٗا فَٱطَّهَّرُواْۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰٓ أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوۡ جَآءَ أَحَدٞ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡغَآئِطِ أَوۡ لَٰمَسۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمۡ تَجِدُواْ مَآءٗ فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدٗا طَيِّبٗا فَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيكُم مِّنۡهُۚ مَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيَجۡعَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡ حَرَجٖ وَلَٰكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

6. O believers, when you are about to pray, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe (with wet hands lightly over) your heads (including the ears) and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If you had sexual contact or experience seminal discharge, then take a full bath, but if you are sick or on a journey, or one of you have just defecated12, or you have touched women13, and you cannot find water, resort to pure soil and rub (lightly over) your faces and your hands therewith14. Allāh does not want you to suffer hardship, but He wants to purify you and to complete His favor upon you - so that you may be grateful.

12. Urine or stool or wind from anus.
13. I.e., had sexual intercourse with your wives.

7. Remember the Favor of Allāh on you and His covenant with which He bound you firmly15, when you said: "We hear and we obey." So fear Allāh and keep His commandments. Indeed, Allāh knows what is in the chests (of mankind and jinn).

15. This verse which strongly reminds the believers of their binding pledge with Allāh, including that of respecting His ordained laws, is central to the believing community.

Ajet: 8

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٰمِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْۚ ٱعۡدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

8. O believers, be upright for Allāh16, bearers of witness with justice. Let not hatred of a people incite you to deal unjustly; deal justly, that is nearer to piety. Fear Allāh and keep to His commandments. Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.

16. That is to be ardent upholders of Allah’s rights, not seeking fame or worldly gain.

Ajet: 9

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَأَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٞ

9. Allāh has promised to those who believe and do righteous deeds (that) they will have forgiveness and a great reward.

Ajet: 10

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

11. O believers, remember the Favor of Allāh upon you when a (hostile) people17 had determined to stretch forth their hands against you, but Allāh withheld their hands from you. So fear Allāh and keep to His commandments. On Allāh 'alone' let the believers rely.

Ajet: 12

۞ وَلَقَدۡ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَٰقَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَبَعَثۡنَا مِنۡهُمُ ٱثۡنَيۡ عَشَرَ نَقِيبٗاۖ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّي مَعَكُمۡۖ لَئِنۡ أَقَمۡتُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَيۡتُمُ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَءَامَنتُم بِرُسُلِي وَعَزَّرۡتُمُوهُمۡ وَأَقۡرَضۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗا لَّأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنكُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمۡ وَلَأُدۡخِلَنَّكُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ مِنكُمۡ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

12. Indeed, Allāh made a Covenant with the children of Israel, and raised among them twelve chiefs18. Allāh said to them: "I am with you; if you are steadfast in your prayers, pay the poor-rate, believe in My messengers19, support them with reverence, and lend to Allāh a goodly loan20, I will certainly remove your misdeeds, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow. But whoever denies (the Truth) among you after that, he has indeed strayed from the right Path.

18. Naqīb is the chief of a clan. They were charged with taking the oaths of those for whom they were responsible such that they would listen to and obey Allah’s commandments. They were also required to guide and encourage believers to adhere to these commandments.

20. Give charity generously for the Cause of Allāh.

Ajet: 13

فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمۡ لَعَنَّٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا قُلُوبَهُمۡ قَٰسِيَةٗۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَنَسُواْ حَظّٗا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَىٰ خَآئِنَةٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا مِّنۡهُمۡۖ فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡفَحۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

13. But because of breaking their covenant, We have cursed them (the Jews) and made their hearts hard 'as stone'. They distort the meaning (of the revealed) words, taking them out of their context, and they forgot a portion of what they were reminded of21. You will always find treachery in them except a few. So pardon them and bear with (their misdeeds). Allāh surely loves the good-doers.

21. In the Torah, concerning the coming of the Prophet Muhammad.

Ajet: 14

وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا نَصَٰرَىٰٓ أَخَذۡنَا مِيثَٰقَهُمۡ فَنَسُواْ حَظّٗا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦ فَأَغۡرَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ ٱلۡعَدَاوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ وَسَوۡفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ

14. From among those who say, We are Nazarenes 'Christians', We took their Covenant, but they forgot a portion of what they were sent to them22, so We caused enmity and hatred among them 'their various sects' until the Day of Resurrection. Allāh will inform them of what they used to do (of evil).

22. In the Gospel, concerning the coming of the Prophet Muhammed.

Ajet: 15

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمۡ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا كُنتُمۡ تُخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَن كَثِيرٖۚ قَدۡ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٞ وَكِتَٰبٞ مُّبِينٞ

15. O followers of the (past) Scripture, Indeed Our messenger 'Muhammad' has come to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of the Scripture and overlooking much23; indeed, there has come to you from Allāh a Light and a clear Book (this Qur’an).

23. Of your sin in that regard.

Ajet: 16

يَهۡدِي بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذۡنِهِۦ وَيَهۡدِيهِمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

16. By which Allāh guides those who follow His pleasure into the ways of peace (and salvation), and brings them out of utter darknesses into light by His will, and guides them to a right Path.

Ajet: 17

لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۚ قُلۡ فَمَن يَمۡلِكُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـًٔا إِنۡ أَرَادَ أَن يُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗاۗ وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

17. They have certainly departed from the faith who say that: "Allāh 'God' is the Christ, the son of Mary." Say 'Muhammad': "Who then can do anything against Allāh, in case He wills cause Christ, son of Mary, his mother, and all that is on the earth to perish?" To Allāh alone belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates what He wills. For Allāh has Power over all things.

Ajet: 18

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ نَحۡنُ أَبۡنَٰٓؤُاْ ٱللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّٰٓؤُهُۥۚ قُلۡ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُمۖ بَلۡ أَنتُم بَشَرٞ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَۚ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

18. The Jews and the Nazarenes say: "We are the children of God and His beloved ones." Say: "Why does He then chastise you for your sins?" Rather, you are but human beings, from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills and chastises whom He wills. To Allāh belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the (final) return.

Ajet: 19

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ فَتۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنۢ بَشِيرٖ وَلَا نَذِيرٖۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بَشِيرٞ وَنَذِيرٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

19. O followers of the (past) Scripture, there has come to you Our messenger  'Muhammad' making clear to you (the true religion) after a period (of suspension) of the (mission of the) messengers24, lest you say: "There did not come to us a giver of good news or a warner," so indeed there has come to you a giver of good news25 and a warner26. For Allāh has full Power over all things.

24.The first and only Prophet of God that was sent to humanity after Jesus is Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad said in one of his sermons: “Indeed, Allāh, my Lord has commanded me to tell you something which you do not know about which He told me today. ˹Allah, glory be His, said:˺… ‘I created all My servants rightly-oriented ˹to the true religion of Islam ˺, then the devils came and swerved them away from their religion; they made unlawful for them what I made lawful and bade them to associate with Me that for which I made no authority’. ˹The Messenger of God continued˺ “Then Allāh, looked at the dwellers of Earth and He held them all in disfavour, Arabs and non-Arabs, except some remaining few of the People of the Scripture and He said: ‘I sent you to try you and try by you and I sent down to you a Book (the Qur’an) that will be protected from distortion; you read it awake and asleep…’” .
25. Of eternal Bliss for whoever believes in Allāh and does righteous deeds.

21. O my people, enter the sacred land (Jerusalem) which Allāh has assigned to you and do not turn on your backs (from fighting for Allah’s Cause), for then you will become losers.

Ajet: 22

قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ فِيهَا قَوۡمٗا جَبَّارِينَ وَإِنَّا لَن نَّدۡخُلَهَا حَتَّىٰ يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا فَإِن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّا دَٰخِلُونَ

قَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمَا ٱدۡخُلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلۡتُمُوهُ فَإِنَّكُمۡ غَٰلِبُونَۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوٓاْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

23. Two men29 of those who feared 'to disobey Allāh', upon both of whom Allah had bestowed Favor, said: "Enter upon them by the gate, for when you have entered it you shall be victorious. On Allāh should you rely, if you are truly believers."

29. Joshua and Caleb. They were heroes in the history of the Muslims of the children of Israel. when Moses sent Scouts into the land of canaan, Joshua and Caleb were the two courageous men from the group who reported that the Canaanites could be defeated. Moses promised Caleb that his family would have a particularly good section of the land that was to be conquered. His faith and devotion to Allāh had sustained him through decades of wilderness living and wars to secure the inheritance Allāh had promised the Muslims of children of Israel. Caleb said, “I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then”. Caleb declared that by “Allāh helping me, I will drive them out just as he said”.
Regardless of age, stage in life, or circumstances, Allāh will help all who wholeheartedly trust Him. The Qur’an inspire faith in Allāh through following God's last messenger, the Prophet Muhammad. He demonstrated God’s care and compassion for all who looked to Him for help, “Allāh is Our helper; we will not be afraid.”

Ajet: 24

قَالُواْ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَن نَّدۡخُلَهَآ أَبَدٗا مَّا دَامُواْ فِيهَا فَٱذۡهَبۡ أَنتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَٰتِلَآ إِنَّا هَٰهُنَا قَٰعِدُونَ

24. They said: "Moses, we will never enter it as long as they are in it; go you and your Lord, and fight; we are staying right here."

25. 'Moses' said: "Lord 'Allāh', I have no control 'upon any' but my own self and my brother 'Aaron'; so separate us from these sinful people.

Ajet: 26

قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡۛ أَرۡبَعِينَ سَنَةٗۛ يَتِيهُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ

26. 'Allāh' said: "So it will be forbidden to them for forty years30, they will wander about in the land. Do not grieve for the rebellious people."

30. Allāh, the Most High, decreed that they should be wandering in the land for a period of 40 years as punishment for their iniquities.

Ajet: 27

۞ وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ ٱبۡنَيۡ ءَادَمَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ إِذۡ قَرَّبَا قُرۡبَانٗا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِمَا وَلَمۡ يُتَقَبَّلۡ مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخَرِ قَالَ لَأَقۡتُلَنَّكَۖ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

27. Relate to them the true story of the two sons of Adam 'Cain and Abel'. Each one of them offered an offering, but it was accepted from one of them31, and was not accepted from the other32. He 'Cain, out of his jealousy and envy' said 'to his brother': "I will certainly kill you." 'Abel' replied: "Allāh only accepts from the righteous."

31. Abel, as he offered the best from his flocks of sheep.
32. Cain, as he offered the worst of his harvest.

Ajet: 28

لَئِنۢ بَسَطتَ إِلَيَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقۡتُلَنِي مَآ أَنَا۠ بِبَاسِطٖ يَدِيَ إِلَيۡكَ لِأَقۡتُلَكَۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

28. If you raise your hand toward me to kill me, I shall not raise my hand toward you to kill you, for I fear Allāh, Lord of all beings.

Ajet: 29

إِنِّيٓ أُرِيدُ أَن تَبُوٓأَ بِإِثۡمِي وَإِثۡمِكَ فَتَكُونَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

29. I want that you bear 'thereby' my sin33 and your own sin, 'but' then you would be destined for the Hellfire. Such is the recompense of the unjust.

33. The sin of killing me.

Ajet: 30

فَطَوَّعَتۡ لَهُۥ نَفۡسُهُۥ قَتۡلَ أَخِيهِ فَقَتَلَهُۥ فَأَصۡبَحَ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ

30. Then the others 'Cain’s' soul imposed on him the killing of his brother 'Abel', so he killed him; then he became a loser34.

34. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “No soul ever gets killed unjustifiably, unless the early son of Adam 'Cain' shoulders some of the burden of its blood, for he was the first human to spill blood ˹on Earth˺.

Ajet: 31

فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ غُرَابٗا يَبۡحَثُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيُرِيَهُۥ كَيۡفَ يُوَٰرِي سَوۡءَةَ أَخِيهِۚ قَالَ يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰٓ أَعَجَزۡتُ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِثۡلَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡغُرَابِ فَأُوَٰرِيَ سَوۡءَةَ أَخِيۖ فَأَصۡبَحَ مِنَ ٱلنَّٰدِمِينَ

31. Then Allāh sent a crow digging up the earth, so that he might show him how he should cover his brother's 'naked' corpse. 'Cain' said: "Oh, Do I lack the strength that I should be like this crow and cover my brother's 'naked' corpse?" So he became 'deeply' remorseful.

Ajet: 32

مِنۡ أَجۡلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبۡنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَنَّهُۥ مَن قَتَلَ نَفۡسَۢا بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٍ أَوۡ فَسَادٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعٗا وَمَنۡ أَحۡيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَآ أَحۡيَا ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَمُسۡرِفُونَ

32. That is why We decreed for the children of Israel (and for all the people after them) that whoever kills a person, unless it be for retaliation of murder or for mischief (done) in the land, it is as though he killed all of mankind35. Whoever saves a life, it is as though he saves the lives of all mankind. Certainly Our mesengers came to them with clear Proofs, but even after that many of them throughout the land are transgressors.

35. The Prophet Muhammad said: "The biggest of sins are: (1) To associate partners with Allah, (2) to murder a human being, (3) to disobey your parents (4) and to give a false testimony".

Ajet: 33

إِنَّمَا جَزَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَيَسۡعَوۡنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَسَادًا أَن يُقَتَّلُوٓاْ أَوۡ يُصَلَّبُوٓاْ أَوۡ تُقَطَّعَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَأَرۡجُلُهُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٍ أَوۡ يُنفَوۡاْ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ ذَٰلِكَ لَهُمۡ خِزۡيٞ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

33. The punishment of those who wage war against Allāh and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land36 is none but that they should be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or that they should be banished from the land 37. This is the disgrace for them in this world, and in the Hereafter they will have a grievous torment.

36. I.e., the armed individuals or groups who commit crimes against civilians.
37. This verse details the penal code for such acts as highway robbery and banditry.

Ajet: 34

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَقۡدِرُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

34. Except those who repent before you seize them; in that case, know that Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Ajet: 35

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱبۡتَغُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡوَسِيلَةَ وَجَٰهِدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ

35. O believers, fear Allāh and seek means of nearness to Him38, and strive hard in His Path, that you may succeed.

38. By doing what pleases Allāh Almighty.

Ajet: 36

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا وَمِثۡلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لِيَفۡتَدُواْ بِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

36. Indeed, those who deny 'the Truth', even if they had twice as much as the wealth of all that what is in the earth, in order to ransom themselves from the chastisement of the Day of Judgment, it will not be accepted from them - theirs is a painful torment.

Ajet: 37

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمَا هُم بِخَٰرِجِينَ مِنۡهَاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٞ

37. They will wish to get out of the eternal Fire, but they will not come out from it - for them is a lasting torment.

Ajet: 38

وَٱلسَّارِقُ وَٱلسَّارِقَةُ فَٱقۡطَعُوٓاْ أَيۡدِيَهُمَا جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَٰلٗا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ

38. As for the thief, male or female, cut off their hands as a recompense for that which they have committed39, as a deterrent punishment from Allāh. For Allāh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

39. Theft proven either by confession or by the testimony of two reliable eye witnesses, and it is not an opportunistic theft but rather a deliberate break in to property.

Ajet: 39

فَمَن تَابَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ظُلۡمِهِۦ وَأَصۡلَحَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَتُوبُ عَلَيۡهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ

39. But whoever repents after his iniquity and reforms (himself), certainly Allāh will accept his repentance; for Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Ajet: 40

أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

40. Do you not know that Allāh - His is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He chastises whom He wills, and forgives whom He wills - for Allāh has full Power over all things.

Ajet: 41

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ لَا يَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَلَمۡ تُؤۡمِن قُلُوبُهُمۡۛ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْۛ سَمَّٰعُونَ لِلۡكَذِبِ سَمَّٰعُونَ لِقَوۡمٍ ءَاخَرِينَ لَمۡ يَأۡتُوكَۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَوَاضِعِهِۦۖ يَقُولُونَ إِنۡ أُوتِيتُمۡ هَٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡتَوۡهُ فَٱحۡذَرُواْۚ وَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ فِتۡنَتَهُۥ فَلَن تَمۡلِكَ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـًٔاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيٞۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ

41.O Messenger 'Muhammad', let not those grieve you who strive together in hastening to denial, among those who say with their mouths: "We believe," but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. They are avid listeners of falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you; they change the meaning (of the revealed) Words, taking them out of their context40, saying: "If you are given this (teaching), take it, and if you are not given this, be cautious". Whoever Allāh wants to put to trial, you cannot possess (power to do) anything for him against Allāh. These are the ones for whom Allāh does not intend that He purify their hearts. They will have disgrace in this world, and they will have a grievous torment in the Hereafter.

40. The relationship between the Qur’an, the final, overruling Book of God and the earlier ones. It establishes that those who were given the Scripture before Islam are better off either following the doctrines of the Qur’an or reinstating their own respective Scriptures in their pristine, uncorrupted, devoutly acting and ruling by them.

Ajet: 42

سَمَّٰعُونَ لِلۡكَذِبِ أَكَّٰلُونَ لِلسُّحۡتِۚ فَإِن جَآءُوكَ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَوۡ أَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡۖ وَإِن تُعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ فَلَن يَضُرُّوكَ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَإِنۡ حَكَمۡتَ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُقۡسِطِينَ

42. (They are avid) listeners to falsehood, devourers of what is unlawful acquired. If they come to you, either judge between them or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they will not harm you at all. But if you judge, then judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allāh loves those who are just (and fair).

Ajet: 43

وَكَيۡفَ يُحَكِّمُونَكَ وَعِندَهُمُ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةُ فِيهَا حُكۡمُ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَۚ وَمَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

43. But how do they make you a judge and they have the Torah wherein is God’s Judgment? Yet they turn away after that41. But those are not (true) believers.

41.This also underlines the insincerity of the Jewish. How could Muhammad (ﷺ) be hopeful that they would resort to and abide by his code of law when they were irreverent of the very code of law (the Torah) they outwardly and to all appearances subscribed to!

Ajet: 44

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدٗى وَنُورٞۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِي ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

44. We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light; with it the Prophets who submitted themselves 'to Allāh' judged (matters) for the Jews, and the rabbis and the scholars (too judged by the Torah after those Prophets), as they were required to observe the Scripture of Allāh, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a worldly gain42. For whoever does not judge by what Allāh has sent down, then it is they who are the deniers.

42. Those who were entrusted with preserving the Scripture of God, the Torah, at the time of the Prophet are especially cautioned not to make fear of influential people nor following their vain desires and greed put them off from fulfilling their task of safeguarding it against alteration and distortion. The guardians of Divine law should bear the fear of God first and foremost in their minds and not that of fellow men. They should pronounce the judgement of God as found in His Writ irrespective of the status or influence of the person who is affected by it. Nor are they to be swayed by bribes and worldly gains.

Ajet: 45

وَكَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ فِيهَآ أَنَّ ٱلنَّفۡسَ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ وَٱلۡعَيۡنَ بِٱلۡعَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَنفَ بِٱلۡأَنفِ وَٱلۡأُذُنَ بِٱلۡأُذُنِ وَٱلسِّنَّ بِٱلسِّنِّ وَٱلۡجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٞۚ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٞ لَّهُۥۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

45. We ordained for them in it (the Torah) that a life is for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds an equal retaliation. But he who remits it by way of charity, it will be an expiation for him43. Whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed, then it is they who are the unjust.

43. A person who is injured should not be driven by spitefulness and the desire to exact revenge. This spirit of forgiveness is not only encouraged by Allāh but is also generously rewarded for.

Ajet: 46

وَقَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدٗى وَنُورٞ وَمُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَهُدٗى وَمَوۡعِظَةٗ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

46. We sent after them in their footsteps Jesus, the son of Mary44, confirming what was before him of the Torah and We gave him the Evangel in which was guidance and light, and confirming what was before it of the Torah and guidance and an admonition for the righteous.

44. Muhammad, God’s Messenger said, "I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary, and all the Prophets are paternal brothers, and there has been no prophet between me and him (Jesus)."

Ajet: 47

وَلۡيَحۡكُمۡ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلِ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ

47. Let the people of the Evangel judge by what Allāh has revealed in it. For whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed -then it is they who are the rebellious.

Ajet: 48

وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَمُهَيۡمِنًا عَلَيۡهِۖ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ عَمَّا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ لِكُلّٖ جَعَلۡنَا مِنكُمۡ شِرۡعَةٗ وَمِنۡهَاجٗاۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِي مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۖ فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ

48. We have revealed to you the Book (Qur’an) in truth, confirming what is before it of the Scripture and a Guardian over it45. So judge between them by what Allāh has revealed, and do not follow their lowly desires over the Truth that has come to you. To each and every one of you did We appoint a Law and a way of life. And if Allāh had willed, He would have made you (all) one nation (united in one religion, Islam), but He intended that He test you in what He has given you. So compete with one another in doing good deeds. To Allāh is your (final) return, all together, and then He will inform you concerning that in which you used to differ.

45. Guardian over it, is encompassing the laws and dictates found in earlier Scriptures; establishing those which are still valid and overruling those which are not.

Ajet: 49

وَأَنِ ٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَٱحۡذَرۡهُمۡ أَن يَفۡتِنُوكَ عَنۢ بَعۡضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡكَۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُصِيبَهُم بِبَعۡضِ ذُنُوبِهِمۡۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَفَٰسِقُونَ

49. Hence judge between them by what Allāh has revealed, and do not follow their vain desires, and be cautious of them, lest they turn you from part of what Allāh has revealed to you. If they turn away, then know that Allāh intends to afflict them because of some of their sins; and that many of the people are indeed rebellious.

Ajet: 50

أَفَحُكۡمَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِيَّةِ يَبۡغُونَۚ وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حُكۡمٗا لِّقَوۡمٖ يُوقِنُونَ

50. Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire46? Who is better than Allāh to judge for a people who have certainty?

46. Those who do not surrender to the ruling of God and His messenger are only opting for the ruling of ignorance itself; nothing but groundless laws set by people following their vain desires and basing them not on any of the Scriptures of God which are light and guidance to people.

Ajet: 51

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلۡيَهُودَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۘ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٖۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمۡ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنۡهُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

51. O believers, do not take the Jews and the Nazarenes 'Christians'47 for allies, they are allies of one another. For whoever among you associates himself with them48, then he is one of them. Indeed, Allāh does not guide the unjust people.

47. Who are at war with you or who demean people of Faith.
48. I.e., aids them against the believers, or opts for their religion over Islam.

Ajet: 52

فَتَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِيهِمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَخۡشَىٰٓ أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَآئِرَةٞۚ فَعَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأۡتِيَ بِٱلۡفَتۡحِ أَوۡ أَمۡرٖ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦ فَيُصۡبِحُواْ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَسَرُّواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ نَٰدِمِينَ

52. You see those in whose hearts is a sickness (of doubt and hesitation) hastening into (association with the unbelieving Jews and Christians), saying: "We fear a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allāh will bring victory or Command (an affliction) from Him, and they (the hypocrites) will become regretful from what they have been concealing within themselves.

Ajet: 53

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمَعَكُمۡۚ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ

53. Those who believe will say (about the hypocrites after their exposure): Are these the ones who swore by Allāh with their strongest oaths that they were with you? Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers49.

49. These hypocrites, honoring Allāh with their lips while their hearts are far from Him. They worship Allāh in vain, He avers, since they have abandoned “the commandment of Allāh and hold in its place the tradition of men. Besides earning the Anger of Allāh and having their thin cover blown, all what they bargained for and threw their weight behind came to nothing. Thus, the immensity of their loss.

Ajet: 54

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَن يَرۡتَدَّ مِنكُمۡ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوۡفَ يَأۡتِي ٱللَّهُ بِقَوۡمٖ يُحِبُّهُمۡ وَيُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ يُجَٰهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوۡمَةَ لَآئِمٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

54. O believers, whoever of you turns back from his religion (of Islam)50, then Allāh will bring forth (in place of them) a people, whom He will love51 and they will love Him52, humble towards the believers, mighty against the deniers, striving hard in Allah’s Way and not fearing the blame of the blamers. This is Allah’s bounty, He gives it to whom He wills. For Allāh is Ample-Giving, All-Knowing.

50. Disregarding the commandment of not aligning one’s self with the enemies of the believers is considered a renouncement of religion.
51. This inspire us to receive Allah’s love and then demonstrate it to others through acts of service, patience, humility, and sacrifice.
52. If we love God, we must keep to His commandments and follow His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad.

Ajet: 55

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُمۡ رَٰكِعُونَ

55. Indeed your 'true' guardian is none but Allāh, His messenger 'Muhammad', and those who believe, who keep up the prayer and pay the poor-rate while they bow (and submit themselves to Allāh alone).

Ajet: 56

وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَإِنَّ حِزۡبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

56. Whoever takes Allāh, His messenger 'Muhammad' and those who believe as guardians, then it is the party of Allāh that will be victorious.

Ajet: 57

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَكُمۡ هُزُوٗا وَلَعِبٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَٱلۡكُفَّارَ أَوۡلِيَآءَۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

57. O believers, do not take for guardians those who take your religion as mockery and jest, among those who were given the Scripture before you and the pagans. Fear Allāh and shun evil, if you are believers.

Ajet: 58

وَإِذَا نَادَيۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ٱتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوٗا وَلَعِبٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَعۡقِلُونَ

58. When you call to prayer53, they make it as mockery and jest; this is because they are a people who do not understand.

53. Prayer is singled out here because it is the most outwardly distinctive feature that defines the believing community and sets it apart from the unbelievers. The Prophet said: The Covenant that stands between Us and them Is the Prayer. Whoever abandons It, he has Committed disbelief. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that prayer is the covenant between Muslims and Allāh, and abandoning it is considered disbelief. He also said: "Between a man and disbelief and paganism is the abandonment of Salat (prayer)".

Ajet: 59

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ هَلۡ تَنقِمُونَ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنۡ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَأَنَّ أَكۡثَرَكُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ

59. Say: "O followers of the (past) Scriptures (Jews and Christians), do you find fault with us (for any other reason) except that we believe in Allāh and what has been revealed to us (of the Qur’an) and what was revealed before54, and that most of you are 'persistent' disobedient?

54. Of the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, etc.

Ajet: 60

قُلۡ هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرّٖ مِّن ذَٰلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ مَن لَّعَنَهُ ٱللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيۡهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡقِرَدَةَ وَٱلۡخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضَلُّ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

60. Say: "Shall I inform you of (what is) worse than that in retribution?" (Worse are the unbelieving Jews) whom Allāh has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and who He turned some of them into monkeys, pigs, and those who worshiped the devil. These are worse in position and more astray from the straight Path.

Ajet: 61

وَإِذَا جَآءُوكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَقَد دَّخَلُواْ بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ وَهُمۡ قَدۡ خَرَجُواْ بِهِۦۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡتُمُونَ

61. When they 'the unbelieving Jews' come to you 'believers', they say: "We believe 'in Allāh and His messengers". Indeed, they enter with disbelief and they go forth with it - for Allāh knows best what they were hiding.

Ajet: 62

وَتَرَىٰ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَٰنِ وَأَكۡلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحۡتَۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

62. You will see many of them 'the Jews' hastening into sin and aggression, and devouring of what is unlawfully acquired. Evil is that what they have been doing.

Ajet: 63

لَوۡلَا يَنۡهَىٰهُمُ ٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ عَن قَوۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَأَكۡلِهِمُ ٱلسُّحۡتَۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ

63. Why do not 'their' rabbis and scholars prohibit them from their speaking of what is sinful and their devouring of what is unlawfully acquired? Evil indeed is what they have been making.

Ajet: 64

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ يَدُ ٱللَّهِ مَغۡلُولَةٌۚ غُلَّتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَلُعِنُواْ بِمَا قَالُواْۘ بَلۡ يَدَاهُ مَبۡسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُۚ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗاۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ كُلَّمَآ أَوۡقَدُواْ نَارٗا لِّلۡحَرۡبِ أَطۡفَأَهَا ٱللَّهُۚ وَيَسۡعَوۡنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَسَادٗاۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ

64. The Jews said: "The Hand of Allāh is chained55!" Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they said. Rather, both His Hands are spread out, He spends freely as He wills. What has been revealed to you from 'Allāh' your Lord will certainly make many of them increase in arrogance and denial. We have put enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they (the Jews) kindle a fire for war, Allāh extinguishes it. They strive to spread corruption in the land - but Allāh does not like the corrupters.

55. This is yet another example highlighting how rude the Jewish had become in their rebelliousness against God, not only by their sinful actions and their disregarding of His law but more seriously by slandering and speaking profanely against Almighty God. For this, they deservedly earned His Wrath and Damnation.

Ajet: 65

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ لَكَفَّرۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُمۡ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

65. If the followers of the (past) Scriptures (Jews and Christians) had believed 'in Islam' and guarded 'against major sins' We would have removed their 'lesser' sins, and admitted them into the Gardens of Bliss.

Ajet: 66

وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ أَقَامُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ لَأَكَلُواْ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَمِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِهِمۚ مِّنۡهُمۡ أُمَّةٞ مُّقۡتَصِدَةٞۖ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا يَعۡمَلُونَ

66. If only they had truly observed (the Laws of) the Torah and the Evangel and that which was revealed to them from 'Allāh' their Lord56, they would have enjoyed provision from above them and from beneath their feet. There is amongst them a just community (who embraced Islam), but (for) most of them, evil is that which they do.

56. E.g., the Psalms, without alteration, omission, or additions to the original text.

Ajet: 67

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ وَإِن لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلۡ فَمَا بَلَّغۡتَ رِسَالَتَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡصِمُكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

67.O Messenger 'Muhammad', convey (to the people the entire Message) that has been revealed to you from 'Allāh' your Lord. If you do not do that, then you have not conveyed His message. Allāh will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allāh does not guide the denying people.

Ajet: 68

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَسۡتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡۗ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗاۖ فَلَا تَأۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

68. Say: "O followers of the (past) Scriptures (Jews and Christians), you are not on valid ground (for your beliefs) until you keep up and truly observe the Torah and the Evangel and what is revealed to you from 'Allāh' your Lord (i.e., the Qur’an). Certainly, that which has been revealed to you from 'Allāh' your Lord makes many of them increase in arrogance and denial. So grieve not over the denying people.

Ajet: 69

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّٰبِـُٔونَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ

69. The believers (of this nation), those who were Jews, Sabeans or Nazarenes, whoever believed in Allāh 'and His messengers' and the Last Day and did (what is) right (and just) - they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Ajet: 70

لَقَدۡ أَخَذۡنَا مِيثَٰقَ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ رُسُلٗاۖ كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولُۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُهُمۡ فَرِيقٗا كَذَّبُواْ وَفَرِيقٗا يَقۡتُلُونَ

70. We took the covenant from the children of Israel and sent them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with that their souls did not desire, a part (of them) they denied and another party they killed.

Ajet: 71

وَحَسِبُوٓاْ أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتۡنَةٞ فَعَمُواْ وَصَمُّواْ ثُمَّ تَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ثُمَّ عَمُواْ وَصَمُّواْ كَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ

71. They thought that there would be no trial57, so they became blind and deaf (to the Truth). Then Allāh forgave them, yet again many of them became blind and deaf. Allāh is All-Seeing of what they do.

57. They deceived themselves by selfishly thinking that they would not be ‘tried’ for their grievous offences. Such self-deceit blinded and deafened them to seeing and hearing the Truth, thus they will not find a way to it. Even after Allāh relented towards them and guided them at a certain juncture of time, a great many of them still fell back into their old ways.

Ajet: 72

لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ

72. They certainly departed from the faith who say: "Allāh 'God' is the Christ, the son of Mary." But Christ himself said: "Children of Israel, Worship Allāh alone, my Lord and your Lord "and my God and your God" . Whoever associates 'others' with Allāh, then Allāh has forbidden for him Paradise, and his home is the Hellfire. There will be no helpers (intercessors) for the unjust.

Ajet: 73

لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةٖۘ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ وَإِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

73. They certainly departed from the faith who say: "Allah is the third of three58. There is no god except One God 'Allāh'59. If they do not desist from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who deny 'the Truth'.

58. It is the belief that Allāh consists of three equal persons in one Godhead. God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Ghost. A difficult concept to comprehend often referred as a “mystery”. Is the Trinity taught in the Bible? With the exception of one disputed and rejected verse as it is erroneously rendered in the King James Version and a few others (1 John 5:7-8), there is NO scripture that supports a Triune God or a Trinity. The word Trinity appears nowhere in any bible version. When and how did the Trinity become church doctrine? The concept began to take shape at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. There was decided and accepted that God the Father and Jesus Christ were of the “same substance” yet separate beings.The Council of Constantinople in 381 AD declared that the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost was God. The Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD declared that Jesus Christ was both man and God. It would appear that at this point the concept of a Triune God was now accepted as doctrine regardless what is stated in the bible. However historical documents tie the tritinty concept to various ancient beliefs all the way back to Nimrod of Babel, his mother/wife Semiramis and the child Tammuz. Even the trinitarian Roman Catholic Church states this: “The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.”
59. Allāh has never had any offspring, nor is there any god besides Him. 

Ajet: 74

أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

74. Will they not then turn to Allāh and ask His forgiveness? For Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Ajet: 75

مَّا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُۥ صِدِّيقَةٞۖ كَانَا يَأۡكُلَانِ ٱلطَّعَامَۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرۡ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ

75. The Christ, son of Mary is no more than (a servant and) messenger (of Allāh). Indeed, before him (many) messengers had passed away; and his mother (Mary) was a truthful (and faithful) woman. They both used to eat food60. See how We make the Signs clear to them, then look how they are turned away.

60. They both were in need of sustenance, proving that they were not divine beings, unlike Allāh Almighty Who is in no need of anything while everything is in need of Him.

Ajet: 76

قُلۡ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَكُمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعٗاۚ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

76. Say: "Do you worship besides Allāh that which does not control for you any harm nor any benefit?" While it is Allāh Who is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Ajet: 77

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَ قَوۡمٖ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ مِن قَبۡلُ وَأَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرٗا وَضَلُّواْ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

77. Say: "O followers of the (past) Scriptures (Jews and Christians), do not exceed the limits in your faith 'and deeds' beyond the Truth, and do not follow the whims of a people (priests and pastors) who have gone astray before, for they led many astray and went astray themselves from the right Path.

Ajet: 78

لُعِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۢ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ دَاوُۥدَ وَعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ وَّكَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ

78. Those who disbelieved among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary61. This was because they disobeyed and used to transgress.

61. In reference to Psalms 28, 21 -22, 31- 33, and Matthew 12: 34, 23: 13-38.

Ajet: 79

كَانُواْ لَا يَتَنَاهَوۡنَ عَن مُّنكَرٖ فَعَلُوهُۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ

79. They used not to forbid each other from the evil deeds they committed. Certainly evil was that which they were doing.

Ajet: 80

تَرَىٰ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ لَبِئۡسَ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ لَهُمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ أَن سَخِطَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَفِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ هُمۡ خَٰلِدُونَ

80. You will see many of them (the Jews) taking as allies those who disbelieve (the idolaters). Certainly evil is that which their own selves have put forth for them, that Allāh became displeased with them and in the torment they will abide.

Ajet: 81

وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مَا ٱتَّخَذُوهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ

81. If they had believed in Allāh and the Prophet 'Moses' and what has been revealed to him (of the Torah), they would not have taken them (the idolaters) for allies, but most of them are truly rebellious.

Ajet: 82

۞ لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ ٱلنَّاسِ عَدَٰوَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلۡيَهُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْۖ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقۡرَبَهُم مَّوَدَّةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا نَصَٰرَىٰۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهۡبَانٗا وَأَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

82. You find that, of all people, the most hostile to the believers, (to be) the Jews and those who associate others with Allāh (the idolaters). And You find the nearest to the believers in affection (to be) those who say: "We are Christians," for among them are priests and monks who are not proud.

Ajet: 83

وَإِذَا سَمِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ تَرَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنَهُمۡ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمۡعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّۖ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱكۡتُبۡنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ

83. When they hear what has been revealed to the messenger 'Muhammad', you can see their eyes overflowing with tears, as they learn about the Truth. They say: "Our Lord 'Allāh', We have believed, so record us among those who testify (to the Truth)62.

62. Muhammad, God's messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allāh alone without any partners, that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger, that Jesus is the servant of Allāh and His messenger, His word which He bestowed upon Mary and a spirit from Him, and that Paradise is true and Hellfire is true, Allāh will admit him into Paradise by whatever good deeds he had done.” Jesus Christ described Himself as a servant, when He said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve Allāh.” (Mark 10:45). Jesus Christ modeled complete servanthood as He lived among the children of Israel as a man and a messenger of Allāh. He obeyed Allah's will. Allah's servants were those who worshiped him and carried out his will, often in important leadership roles. Individuals such as Abraham ( Gen 26:24 ), Moses ( Exod 14:31 ; Deut 34:5 ), David ( 2 Samuel 7:5 2 Samuel 7:8 ), Isaiah (20:3), and Jesus were called Allah’s "servants" as they obediently served their Lord - Allāh -.

Ajet: 84

وَمَا لَنَا لَا نُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَنَطۡمَعُ أَن يُدۡخِلَنَا رَبُّنَا مَعَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

84. Why should we not believe in Allāh and the Truth that has come to us, and hope that 'Allāh' our Lord will admit us into the company of the righteous63?

63. The Prophets and those who believed in their Message and followed them.

Ajet: 85

فَأَثَٰبَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا قَالُواْ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

85. Thus, Allāh rewarded them because of what they said64, with Gardens under which rivers flow to abide therein forever. This is the reward of the good-doers.

64. I.e., their admission and acceptance of the truth and commitment to God's true religion (of Islām).

Ajet: 86

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

86. But those who deny 'Allāh and His messenger Muhammad' and reject Our Verses 'of the Qur’an', these are the occupants of the Hellfire.

Ajet: 87

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُحَرِّمُواْ طَيِّبَٰتِ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡتَدُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ

87. O believers, make not unlawful the good things which Allāh has made lawful for you65, and do not transgress; for Allāh does not like the transgressors.

65. These laws are ever binding and should not be taken liberty with. Nor are they to be disregarded as did earlier nations.

Ajet: 88

وَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَٰلٗا طَيِّبٗاۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنتُم بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنُونَ

88. Eat of the lawful pure (things) that Allāh has given you, and fear Allāh in Whom you believe.

Ajet: 89

لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِٱللَّغۡوِ فِيٓ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا عَقَّدتُّمُ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَۖ فَكَفَّٰرَتُهُۥٓ إِطۡعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَٰكِينَ مِنۡ أَوۡسَطِ مَا تُطۡعِمُونَ أَهۡلِيكُمۡ أَوۡ كِسۡوَتُهُمۡ أَوۡ تَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَٰثَةِ أَيَّامٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ كَفَّٰرَةُ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَلَفۡتُمۡۚ وَٱحۡفَظُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

89. Allāh does not call you to account for your thoughtless oaths66, but He calls you to account for (breaking) your deliberate oaths. So its expiation is to feed ten destitute people with food, typical of that which you feed your own people, or to clothe them, or to set a slave free. Whoever cannot find this, he must fast for three days. That is the expiation of your oaths when you swear. So be careful of your oaths67. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses, that you may be grateful.

66. I.e., out of habit or without true intent.
67. I.e., do not swear much; do not swear while lying; honor your oaths, honor your vows. Do not misuse the Name of Allāh your Lord, as Allāh will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His Name.

Ajet: 90

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡخَمۡرُ وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرُ وَٱلۡأَنصَابُ وَٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمُ رِجۡسٞ مِّنۡ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ فَٱجۡتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ

90. O believers, wine68, gambling, the stone altars and (divining by) arrows (for seeking luck or decision) are only an abomination, Satan’s work; so shun them, that you may succeed and prosper.

68. The Prophet Muhammad said: God has cursed wine, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, the one who serve it, and the one to whom it is served.

Ajet: 91

إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ فِي ٱلۡخَمۡرِ وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ

91. Satan wants to induce hostility and hatred among you through wine and gambling, and to keep you away from the Remembrance of God and from the prayer. Will you then desist?

Ajet: 92

وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَٱحۡذَرُواْۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

92. Obey Allāh and obey the Messenger 'Muhammad' and be cautious (of the harmful things). If you turn away (from the religion of Islam), then know that the duty of our messenger 'Muhammad' is only to convey God's Message clearly.

Ajet: 93

لَيۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جُنَاحٞ فِيمَا طَعِمُوٓاْ إِذَا مَا ٱتَّقَواْ وَّءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّءَامَنُواْ ثُمَّ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّأَحۡسَنُواْۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

93. There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have consumed before 'its prohibition', as long as they (now) maintain piety, have faith and do good deeds, then guard themselves against evil and believe, then maintain piety and do good. For Allāh loves the good-doers.

Ajet: 94

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَيَبۡلُوَنَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنَ ٱلصَّيۡدِ تَنَالُهُۥٓ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَرِمَاحُكُمۡ لِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَخَافُهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

94. O believers, Allāh will try you (while you are on pilgrimage) of some game within the reach of your hands and spears, that Allāh may make evident who fears Him unseen69. Whoever transgresses after this, for him is a painful torment.

69. Restraining one’s self from sinning while hidden from the eyes of others and that the sin being so attractive and tempting is a great test of Faith.

Ajet: 95

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلصَّيۡدَ وَأَنتُمۡ حُرُمٞۚ وَمَن قَتَلَهُۥ مِنكُم مُّتَعَمِّدٗا فَجَزَآءٞ مِّثۡلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّعَمِ يَحۡكُمُ بِهِۦ ذَوَا عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ هَدۡيَۢا بَٰلِغَ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةِ أَوۡ كَفَّٰرَةٞ طَعَامُ مَسَٰكِينَ أَوۡ عَدۡلُ ذَٰلِكَ صِيَامٗا لِّيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِۦۗ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَۚ وَمَنۡ عَادَ فَيَنتَقِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ

95. O believers, do not kill game while you are on (major or lesser) Pilgrimage (Hajj or ‘Umrah'). For whoever among you kills it intentionally, the compensation (of it) is the like of what he killed from the cattle as two just people from among you shall judge, as an offering 'to Allāh' to be brought to the Ka’bah 'in Makkah' or else he may atone for his sin by the feeding of destitute persons or by the equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of his deed. Allāh has pardoned what has past. Whoever returns, Allāh will take retribution from him - for Allāh is All-Mighty, All-Capable of Retribution.

Ajet: 96

أُحِلَّ لَكُمۡ صَيۡدُ ٱلۡبَحۡرِ وَطَعَامُهُۥ مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ صَيۡدُ ٱلۡبَرِّ مَا دُمۡتُمۡ حُرُمٗاۗ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ

96. Lawful to you is the game of the sea and sea food, a provision for you and other wayfarers. The game of the land is prohibited to you as long as you are on pilgrimage and state of sanctity. Fear Allāh to Whom you shall all be gathered.

Ajet: 97

۞ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةَ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ قِيَٰمٗا لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّهۡرَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ وَٱلۡهَدۡيَ وَٱلۡقَلَٰٓئِدَۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ

97. Allāh has made the Ka'ba 'in Makkah', the sacred house, the sacred months, the offerings, and the sacrificial animals with garlands for the welfare of the people. This is that you may know that Allāh knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and that Allāh is the Knower of all things.

Ajet: 98

ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

98. Know that Allāh is Severe in punishment, and that Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Ajet: 99

مَّا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُبۡدُونَ وَمَا تَكۡتُمُونَ

99. Nothing is (incumbent) on the messenger 'Muhammad' but to deliver 'the Message' clearly. Allāh knows what you reveal or conceal.

Ajet: 100

قُل لَّا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡخَبِيثُ وَٱلطَّيِّبُ وَلَوۡ أَعۡجَبَكَ كَثۡرَةُ ٱلۡخَبِيثِۚ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ يَٰٓأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ

100. Say: "The filthy70 and the pure71 are not equal, though the abundance of filthy may impress you." So fear Allāh72 and keep to His Commandments, O people of understanding, that you may succeed.

70. All that is bad as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, and foods.
71. All that is good as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, and foods.
72. Fear Allâh: i.e. abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden and love Allâh much by performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained.

Ajet: 101

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَسۡـَٔلُواْ عَنۡ أَشۡيَآءَ إِن تُبۡدَ لَكُمۡ تَسُؤۡكُمۡ وَإِن تَسۡـَٔلُواْ عَنۡهَا حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ تُبۡدَ لَكُمۡ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٞ

101. O believers, do not ask about things which if explained to you may displease you73. If you ask about such things when the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be explained to you. Allāh pardons it (what has past), for Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Forebearing.

73. I.e., especially contrived questions, if responded to will widen the circle of divine ordinances, which might cause difficulty for the believers to act on them.

Ajet: 102

قَدۡ سَأَلَهَا قَوۡمٞ مِّن قَبۡلِكُمۡ ثُمَّ أَصۡبَحُواْ بِهَا كَٰفِرِينَ

74. By their rejection to carry out what they were commanded.

Ajet: 103

مَا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَحِيرَةٖ وَلَا سَآئِبَةٖ وَلَا وَصِيلَةٖ وَلَا حَامٖ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَۖ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ

103. Allāh has not appointed (such innovations as) Bahirah or Sa'ibah or Wasilah or Ham75. Those who deny (the Truth) invent a lie against Allāh, and most of them do not understand.

75. Categories of particular animals which were dedicated to the idols and set free to pasture, liberated from the service of man.

Ajet: 104

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ قَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا مَا وَجَدۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَنَآۚ أَوَلَوۡ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَهۡتَدُونَ

104. When it is said to them: "Come to what Allāh has revealed (of the Qur’an) and to the Messenger (Muhammad)," they say: "That tradition on which we found our fathers is enough for us." Even though their fathers knew nothing, nor were they guided.

Ajet: 105

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ لَا يَضُرُّكُم مَّن ضَلَّ إِذَا ٱهۡتَدَيۡتُمۡۚ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

105. O believers, guard your own selves (against evil). Those who go astray can do you no harm if you (yourselves) are on the right guidance76. To Allāh is your (final) return all of you together, then He will inform you of what you used to do.

76. After you call them to guidance, their rejection will not harm you.

Ajet: 106

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ شَهَٰدَةُ بَيۡنِكُمۡ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ حِينَ ٱلۡوَصِيَّةِ ٱثۡنَانِ ذَوَا عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ أَوۡ ءَاخَرَانِ مِنۡ غَيۡرِكُمۡ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ ضَرَبۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۚ تَحۡبِسُونَهُمَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ إِنِ ٱرۡتَبۡتُمۡ لَا نَشۡتَرِي بِهِۦ ثَمَنٗا وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰ وَلَا نَكۡتُمُ شَهَٰدَةَ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡأٓثِمِينَ

106. O believers, when death approaches any one of you, let two just men from your own people (Muslims) or any two other men (non-Muslims) witness at the time of making the will if you are traveling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you. If you have doubts about their testimony77, stand them up78 and let them take an oath after the (Asr i.e., afternoon) prayer; each one of them, (saying): 'I swear by Allāh that my testimony is true.' I do not seek by it any price (worldly gain), even though he be a near relative, I will not hide the testimony ordained by Allāh, for then I would be a deliberate sinner.

77. They are made to take such an oath because the judge has justifiable doubts about their truthfulness not because they are non-Muslim.
78. The two non-Muslim witnesses. When doubted, it has to be made absolutely sure that their testimony is trustworthy and that if challenged, even if by Muslims, the challengers will undergo equally scrupulous measures.

Ajet: 107

فَإِنۡ عُثِرَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنَّهُمَا ٱسۡتَحَقَّآ إِثۡمٗا فَـَٔاخَرَانِ يَقُومَانِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَوۡلَيَٰنِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ لَشَهَٰدَتُنَآ أَحَقُّ مِن شَهَٰدَتِهِمَا وَمَا ٱعۡتَدَيۡنَآ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

107. Then, if their honesty is challenged and found guilty, let two others stand in their place, nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right. Let them swear by Allāh: "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed (beyond the Truth), for then we would certainly be unjust."

Ajet: 108

ذَٰلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتُواْ بِٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهَآ أَوۡ يَخَافُوٓاْ أَن تُرَدَّ أَيۡمَٰنُۢ بَعۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡۗ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسۡمَعُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ

108. This is more proper in order that they79 will give testimony truly or fear that their oaths will be refuted by the oaths of others afterwards. Fear Allāh and listen (obediently); for Allāh does not guide the rebellious people.

79. The two original witnesses.

Ajet: 109

۞ يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أُجِبۡتُمۡۖ قَالُواْ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَآۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ

109. Be warned of the Day when Allāh will gather the messengers, then say: What response were you given 'by your nations'? They will say: "We have no knowledge, You are the Great Knower of the unseen."

Ajet: 110

إِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱذۡكُرۡ نِعۡمَتِي عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَتِكَ إِذۡ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ ٱلنَّاسَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ وَكَهۡلٗاۖ وَإِذۡ عَلَّمۡتُكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلَۖ وَإِذۡ تَخۡلُقُ مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيۡـَٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ بِإِذۡنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا بِإِذۡنِيۖ وَتُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ بِإِذۡنِيۖ وَإِذۡ تُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِيۖ وَإِذۡ كَفَفۡتُ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ عَنكَ إِذۡ جِئۡتَهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ

110. (The Day) when Allāh will say: "Jesus, son of Mary80, recall My favors upon you and on your mother, when I supported you with the holy spirit (Gabriel), you spoke to the people in the cradle and when you grew up. I taught you writing, wisdom, the Torah and the Evangel. (Recall) when you designed out of clay a thing like the form of a bird by My Permission, then you breathed into it and it became a bird by My Permission. You healed the blind and the leprous by My Permission, and brought forth the dead by My Permission. I withheld the children of Israel from (killing or crucifying) you, when you came to them with clear Proofs, but those who denied among them said: "This is nothing but clear magic."

80. Jesus of all the other Messengers of God is singled out here and is minutely ‘questioned’ because the most deserving of admonishment are those who claim to be his followers. Other nations may have denied their Messengers but these made the single and most false claim about God Almighty Himself, whereby He has a mother, wife and a child, and around which they built their whole religion. The favours detailed here show in reality that Jesus is no more than a mere human Messenger of God.

Ajet: 111

وَإِذۡ أَوۡحَيۡتُ إِلَى ٱلۡحَوَارِيِّـۧنَ أَنۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِي وَبِرَسُولِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَٱشۡهَدۡ بِأَنَّنَا مُسۡلِمُونَ

111. (Recall) when I inspired to the disciples, saying, "Believe in Me and My messenger (Jesus);" they said: "We believe and bear witness that we are Muslims (who submit to the Will of God).

Ajet: 112

إِذۡ قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ هَلۡ يَسۡتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَن يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡنَا مَآئِدَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِۖ قَالَ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

112. When the disciples said: "Jesus son of Mary, can 'Allāh' your Lord send down to us a table full of food from the heaven?" 'Jesus' said: "Fear Allāh, if you are true believers."

Ajet: 113

قَالُواْ نُرِيدُ أَن نَّأۡكُلَ مِنۡهَا وَتَطۡمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُنَا وَنَعۡلَمَ أَن قَدۡ صَدَقۡتَنَا وَنَكُونَ عَلَيۡهَا مِنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ

113. They said: "We just want to eat from it, and to satisfy our hearts (to be stronger in faith), and to know that you have indeed spoken the Truth to us, and that we may be its witnesses."

Ajet: 114

قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلۡ عَلَيۡنَا مَآئِدَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدٗا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَءَاخِرِنَا وَءَايَةٗ مِّنكَۖ وَٱرۡزُقۡنَا وَأَنتَ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

114. Jesus, the son of Mary said: "O Allāh, our Lord, send down to us a table full of food from the heaven, that it may be a feast for us - the first and the last of us, and a Sign from You. Give us our needs; for You are the Best of providers.

Ajet: 115

قَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّي مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بَعۡدُ مِنكُمۡ فَإِنِّيٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابٗا لَّآ أُعَذِّبُهُۥٓ أَحَدٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

115. Allāh said: "I will send it down to you, but whoever denies afterwards from among you, I will chastise him with a Chastisement wherewith I have not chastised anyone among the nations."

Ajet: 116

وَإِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَٰعِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ءَأَنتَ قُلۡتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيۡنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ قَالَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِيٓ أَنۡ أَقُولَ مَا لَيۡسَ لِي بِحَقٍّۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلۡتُهُۥ فَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَهُۥۚ تَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي نَفۡسِي وَلَآ أَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي نَفۡسِكَۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ

116. When Allāh will say: "Jesus son of Mary81, did you say to the people: '"Take me and my mother (Mary) for two gods besides Allāh?" (Jesus) will say: 'Glory (and Honor) be to You alone 'O Allāh', never could I say what I had no right to (say); if I had said it, You would indeed have known it; You know what is in myself, but I do not know what is in Yourself. You are the Great Knower of the unseen.'

81. This is further admonishment for those who claim to be followers of Jesus but who distorted his teachings. Although him being the direct addressee, Allāh wants him to stand witness against them as will do every Messenger against his nation: 

Ajet: 117

مَا قُلۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِلَّا مَآ أَمَرۡتَنِي بِهِۦٓ أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۚ وَكُنتُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيدٗا مَّا دُمۡتُ فِيهِمۡۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِي كُنتَ أَنتَ ٱلرَّقِيبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ وَأَنتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ

117. Never did I say to them anything except what You did command me to say: "Worship Allāh alone, my Lord and your Lord, 'and my God and your God' and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when you took me up82, You were the Watcher over them, and You are over all things, Witness.

82. In both body and spirit to the heaven.

Ajet: 118

إِن تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ عِبَادُكَۖ وَإِن تَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

118. If You chastise them (for their blasphemy and denial of the Truth), they are certainly Your slaves.If You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Ajet: 119

قَالَ ٱللَّهُ هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ يَنفَعُ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ صِدۡقُهُمۡۚ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

119. Allāh will say: "This is the Day when the truthful ones83 will benefit from their truthfulness84." They shall have Gardens under which rivers flow to abide therein forever. Allāh is well Pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. This is the great achievement.

83. The messengers and their followers.
84. Conveyance of the message of Islam.

Ajet: 120

لِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا فِيهِنَّۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرُۢ

120. To Allāh belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. He has full Power over all things.
