1. All praise be to Allāh, Who created the heavens and the earth and made darknesses and light. Yet those who deny set up equals with their Lord 'Allāh'.
2. It is He 'Allāh' Who created you from clay1, then He decreed a term (for you to die); and there is with Him another term (for you to be resurrected); yet you doubt and dispute about it.
1. I.e., Adam, the father of humanity, was created from clay, processed earth.
6. Do they not consider how many a (sinful) generation We have destroyed before them4, whom We had established on the earth such as We have not established you. We sent the clouds pouring rain on them in abundance, and We made the rivers to flow beneath them, then We destroyed them because of their sins and raised up after them another generation.
4. The fact that these earlier nations who were endowed with such abundance and were given water (the source of life and prosperity) both flowing and pouring without end were destroyed, did not make them think over their fate contemplatively.
7. If We had sent down to you a written Book on paper, then they had touched it with their hands, those who deny (the Truth) would have certainly said: "This is nothing but clear magic."
8. Saying: "Why has not an angel been sent down to him?" Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have been judged, and then they would have not been given further respite (for repentance).
9. Had We appointed an angel 'as our messenger to mankind', We would certainly have made him 'look as a' man, thus obscuring for them that which they themselves obscure now (the Truth).
12. Say: "To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth?" Say: "To Allāh." He has ordained Mercy for Himself. He will certainly gather you on the Day of Resurrection - there is no doubt about it. Those who ruin themselves will not believe.
14. Say: "Shall I take as a Guardian 'Lord, Savior' other than Allāh, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feeds everyone and who needs no food Himself?" Say: "I am commanded to be the first who submits himself 'to Allāh', and that:"Do not ever be of the polytheists".
19. Say: "What is the greatest testimony?" Say:"Allāh is Witness between you and me." He revealed to me this Qur’an that with it I may warn you and whom it reaches. Do you really bear witness that there are other gods with Allāh? Say:'I do not bear witness.' Say: He (Allāh) is (the only ) One 'true' God, and I am disassociated of that which you set up (with Him as partners in worship).
20. Those whom We have given the (past) Scripture (Jews and Christians) know him5 as they know their own sons. Those who ruin themselves will not believe.
5. I.e., the Prophet Muhammad who is mentioned in the Bible.
22. On the Day 'of Judgment' when We shall gather all people together, then We shall say to the pagans: "Where are those whom you claimed to be your gods?"
25. There are some among them (the deniers) who (pretend to) listen to you6, but We have set veils over their hearts lest they understand it, and deafness in their ears. Even if they see every Sign, they will not believe in it; so much so that when they come to you they only dispute with you. Those who deny (the Truth) say: "This is nothing but legends of the ancients."
27. If you could but see 'them' when they are made to stand before the Hellfire, then they will say: "Oh, would that we were sent back 'to the world', and we would not deny the Signs of 'Allāh' our Lord and we would be of the believers."
28. But what they used to conceal (from themselves) in the past (of the Truth) will become manifest to them. Even if they were sent back 'to the world', they would certainly go back to that which they were forbidden, and they are certainly liars.
30. If you could but see (them) when they are made to stand before their Lord 'Allāh'. He will say: "Is not this the Truth?" They will say: "Yes, by 'Allāh' our Lord." He will say: "Taste then the torment, because you used to deny."
31. They are losers indeed who deny the Meeting of Allāh; until when the Hour 'of Doom' comes upon them all of a sudden, they cry: "O how great is our regret for our neglecting it." They will bear their burdens on their backs. Evil is that which they bear.
32. This worldly life is nothing but play and a passing delight, and certainly the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allāh and shun evil. Do you not then understand?
34. (Many) messengers before you were rejected, but they patiently persevered inspite of their having been rejected and persecuted until Our Help came to them. None can change the Words of Allāh. There has certainly come to you some news about the Messengers 'before you'.
35. If their turning away is hard on you, then if you can seek a tunnel (to go down) into the earth or a ladder (to ascend up) to the heaven to bring them a Sign (to convince them all, then do so) but (remember that) if Allāh had willed, He would certainly have gathered them all on guidance, so be not of the ignorants.
36. Only those who listen 'attentively' will respond; but (as to) the dead (of heart, the deniers), Allāh will resurrect them, then to Him they will be (all) returned.
37. They say: "Why has not a Sign been sent down to him from his Lord 'Allāh'?" Say: "Allāh is Able to send down a Sign, but most of them do not know."
38. There is no a single moving creature on the earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings but 'they are' communities like you. We have not neglected anything in the Book 'the Preserved Tablet', then to their Lord 'Allāh' they will 'all' be gathered.
39. Those who reject Our Verses 'of the Qur'an' are deaf and dumb, in utter darknesses. Whomever Allāh wills, He 'justly' leaves astray, and whomever He wills He puts on the right Path 'out of His immense grace'.
40. Say: "Tell me if the torment of Allāh befalls you or the Hour 'of Doom' comes upon you, will you call to any other than Allāh for help, if you are truthful?"
41. No, it is Him 'Allāh alone' you pray to, so He clears away that for which you pray if He wills, and you forget what you set up 'with Him as partners'.
42. We sent (messengers) to many (sinful) nations before you, then We seized them with poverty and illness in order that they might humble themselves (to Allāh).
43. Yet why did they not, when Our wrath came to them, humble themselves (to Allāh)? But their hearts were hardened 'as stone', and Satan made all that they used to do fair-seeming to them.
44. When they forgot that with which they had been admonished with, We opened for them the doors of every (good) thing, until when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly; then at once they were in utter despair.
45. So the people who worked iniquity (by associating others with Allāh or committing other deadly sins) to the very last one of them were cut off. All Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of all beings.
46. Say: "Have you considered that if Allāh were to take away your hearing and your sight and set a seal on your hearts, is there a god other than Allāh that can bring it to you?" See how We diversify the Verses, yet they turn away (from the Truth).
48. We do not send the messengers except as announcers of good news and as warners. Whoever believes and lives righteously, they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
50. Say 'Muhammad': "I would not tell you that I have with me the treasures of Allāh, nor do I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel." I only follow what is revealed to me. Say: "Are the blind and the seeing alike?" Do you not then reflect?
51. Warn by it (the Qur’an) those who fear that they will be gathered to their Lord 'Allāh' - that there will be no guardian, nor any intercessor besides Him - that they may fear Allāh and shun evil7.
7. Having a constant commitment to just do the right thing helps us get and stay good.
52. Do not send away those who pray to their Lord 'Allāh alone' in the morning and the evening, seeking only His face; neither upon you is anything of their account, nor upon them is anything of your account, so were you to send them away, you would (then) be of the unjust.
53. Thus do We try some of them by others, so that those (of wealthier deniers) may say: "Are these (poor believers) the ones upon whom Allāh has favored among us (by His guidance)? Does not Allāh best know the thankful?"
54. When those who believe in Our verses (of the Qur’an) come to you, say: "Peace be with you, your Lord 'Allāh' has ordained Mercy for Himself, (so) that if any one of you does evil out of ignorance, then repents after that and lives righteously, then He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
56. Say 'Muhammad': "I am forbidden to worship those whom you invoke besides Allāh." Say: "I do not follow your low desires. For then indeed I would have gone astray, and I would not be of the rightly guided."
57. Say: "I am on clear Proof from 'Allāh' my Lord, yet you deny Him; I have not with me that (Punishment) which you hasten. The Judgment is only for Allāh. He relates the Truth and He is the Best of judges.
58. Say: "If that 'Punishment' which you desire to hasten were with me, the matter would have certainly been decided between me and you. Allāh knows best the unjust.
59. Allāh has the keys of the unseen - none knows them except Him. He knows what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the darknesses of the earth, nor anything green or dry but (is) in a clear record.
60. It is He 'Allāh' Who takes your souls at night 'in sleep', and He knows what you have done by day. Then He raises you up therein (i.e., by day) so that an appointed term may be fulfilled. Then to Him is your 'final' return and He will inform you of what you used to do.
61. He (Allāh) is the Subjugator over His slaves (of mankind and jinn). He sends keepers (angels) over you; until when death comes to one of you, Our (angelic) messengers cause him to die, and they never neglect their duty.
62. Then they (humans and jinn) are sent back to Allāh, their (real) Master, the True One. Undoubtedly, His is the Judgment, and He is the Swiftest of all reckoners.
63. Say: "Who is it that delivers you from the dangers of the land and sea (when) you pray to Him humbling yourselves, and in secret (invoking): "If He 'Allāh' delivers us from this, we shall be of the thankful ones."
65. Say: "He has the Power to send on you a torment from above you or from under your feet, or to cover you with confusion in (tribal or) party strife; and make you taste the violence of one another. See how We diversify the Verses that they may discern.
68. When you see those who enter into false discourses about Our revelations, withdraw from them until they enter into some other discourse. If Satan causes you to forget, then do not sit after remembrance with the unjust people.
70. Leave alone those who occupy themselves in (sinful) play and pastime, and whom this worldly life has deceived. But admonish them (with the Qur’an), lest a soul should be given up to destruction for what it has earned (of sins); it will not have besides Allāh any guardian (lord, savior) nor an intercessor. If it offers every ransom to save itself, it will not be accepted from it. These are the ones who shall be given up to destruction for what they earned (of polytheism and sins). They will have a drink of hot boiling water and a painful torment because they used to deny (the Truth and oppose Peace).
71. Say: "Shall we call on besides Allāh that 'idols' which does not benefit us nor harm us, and shall we return back on our heels after Allāh has guided us, like him whom the devils confused and have made to go astray (wandering) through the lands?" He has companions who call him to guidance, (saying): "Come to us." Say: "The guidance of Allāh, that is the (only right) guidance, and we are commanded to submit to 'Allāh' the Lord of all beings.
73. It is He 'Allāh' Who has created the heavens and the earth in truth, and on the Day He (will) say: "Be," and it is. His Word is the Truth. The Kingdom will be His alone on the Day when the trumpet will be blown. the Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.
76. When the night over-shadowed him with its darkness, he saw a star; he said: "Is this my lord?" So when it set, he said: "I do not like those that set."
77. When he saw the moon rising, he said: "Is this my lord?" So when it set, he said: "If 'Allāh' my LORD guides me not, I will certainly be of those astray."
78. When he (Abraham) saw the sun rising, he said: "Is this my lord?" This is greater. So when it set, he said: "O people, I am clear from what you associate 'with Allāh'."
80. His people argued with him. He said: "Do you argue with me concerning Allāh when indeed He has guided me? I do not fear the idols you associate with Him, (none can harm me) unless (Allāh) my Lord wills something. My Lord 'Allāh' comprehends all things in His knowledge (and Power). Will you not then take heed?"
81. "How should I fear the idols you associate with Him in worship while you do not fear that you have associated with Allāh for which He has sent down no Authority? Which then of the two parties has more right to security, if you really know?"
82. Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh and worship none but Him) and do not mix up their faith with iniquity8; these are the ones who shall have the 'real' security and they are the rightly guided.
8. By worshiping others besides Allāh or by committing other deadly sins, e.g., disbelief, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, treason, exploitation of the vulnerable, neglecting obligations of the prayer, zakat, fasting of Ramadan, or the Hajj.
83. This was Our 'conclusive' Argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise in degree whom We will. Your Lord 'Allāh' is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
84. We granted him Isaac and Jacob. Each did We guide. Noah did We guide before, and of his descendants: David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good-doers.
88. This is Allah’s Guidance, He guides thereby whom He wills of His servants. If they had associated others with Allāh 'in worship', all their deeds would have been in vain for them.
89. These are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture, sound judgement, and Prophethood; but if these (pagans) deny it, then We have already entrusted with it a people who would never deny them9.
90. These are the ones whom Allāh guided (to Islam), so follow their guidance. Say: "I do not ask you for any reward for it - it is but a reminder to the nations."
91. They do not assign to Allāh the proper estimation (or the Attributes) due to Him when they say: "Allāh has not revealed anything to a human being." Say: "Who sent down the Scripture which Moses brought, a Light and a Guidance to the people, which you make into scattered writings which you show (some of it), while you conceal much?10" while you (pagans) were taught what you did not know, (neither) you nor your fathers." Say: "Allāh," then leave them to amuse themselves in their vain talk.
10. One very important fact they tried to hide was Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) Messengership.
92. This is a blessed Book (Qur’an) which We have revealed, confirming what came before it (of the Torah and the Evangel), and that you may warn the mother of the towns (Makkah) and all around it.Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it (the Qur’an), and they are constant in maintaining their prayers.
93. Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allāh, or says: "It has been revealed to me;" while nothing has been revealed to him, and he who says: "I can reveal the like of Allah's revelations?" If you could but see when the workers of iniquity shall be in the throes of death and the angels shall spread forth their hands (saying): "Give up your souls; today you shall be recompensed with the torment of humiliation, for you spoke against Allāh other than the Truth, and you used to show arrogance against His revelations."
94. Indeed, you have come to Us solitary, each alone, as We created you at first and you have left behind your backs all the things which We gave you. We do not see with you your intercessors (and mediators) about whom you claimed that they were (Allah’s) associates with regard yourselves. Indeed, the ties between you are now cut off, and what you presumed has failed you.
95. It is Allāh Who causes the seed-grain and the fruit stone to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead, and He brings forth the dead from the living; that is Allāh (your real Lord). How are you then turned away (from the Truth)?
96. 'He is' the cleaver of daybreak. He has made the night for rest, and the sun and moon for reckoning (of time).That is the measure of 'Allāh, the All-Mighty, the All- Knowing.
97. It is He Who has made the stars for you that you might be guided by them in the darknesses of the land and the sea. We have certainly detailed the Signs for a people who know11.
11. Day break, the sun, the moon and the stars are among the many cosmic Signs that need to be contemplated and pondered upon to lead to believing in The Oneness of God; that there is only one God with no partners and that there was no God before him or after him, and that Prophet Muhammad is His last and final messenger. Monotheism further refers to the nature of God—that he is not composed, not triune god, but One and only diety who has no partners.
98. It is He (Allāh) Who has brought you into being from a single soul (Adam), then there is (for you) a resting-place (on the earth) and a depository (in your graves). Indeed, We have detailed the Signs for a people who understand.
99. It is He (Allāh) Who sends down water from the sky, then We bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then We bring forth from it green (foliage) from which We produce grain piled up; and of the palm-tree, from the sheaths of it come forth clusters (of dates) within reach, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates - similar (in shape) yet different (in taste). Look at (each of) its fruit when it yields and at its ripening. Indeed, there are Signs in this for a people who believe (in the Oneness of God).
100. Yet they make the jinn (unseen beings, demons) associates with Allāh, while He created them. They falsely attribute to Him sons and daughters without (Divine) knowledge. Glory be to Him (Allāh), and highly exalted is He above what they ascribe (to Him as partners).
101. Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He (Allāh) have a son (or daughters) when He does not have a consort, and He (Himself) created everything? He is the Knower of all things.
102. That is Allāh, your (real) Lord, there is no 'true' god except Him. (He is) the Creator of all things, so worship Him alone. He takes care of every thing.
104. Indeed, there have come to you clear Proofs from 'Allāh' your Lord. So whoever (chooses to) see (and follow the right Way), it is for his own soul. Whoever blinds himself (from the Truth), it will be against himself. 'Say,' 'I am not a keeper over you'.
105. Thus do We diversify the Verses so 'the deniers' will say, ‘You have studied,’ and so We may make (the Qur’an) clear for a people who (want to) know.
107. If Allāh had willed, they would not have associated others with Him 'in worship'. We have not appointed you a keeper over them, nor are you a trustee over them.
108. Do not abuse those whom they worship besides Allāh, lest exceeding the limits they abuse Allāh out of ignorance. Thus have We made fair seeming to every people its own doings; then to their Lord 'Allāh' will be their 'final' return, so He will inform them of what they were doing.
109. They swear by Allāh with their strongest of their oaths, that if a miracle comes to them they will certainly believe in it. Say: "Miracles are only with Allāh." What will make you know that when the Miracles come they will (still) not believe?
110. We will turn their hearts and their sight (from the Truth of Islam), as they believed not in it at the first instance, and We shall leave them in their transgressing, wandering blindly.
111. Even if We had sent down to them the angels, the dead had spoken to them, and We had brought together all things before them, they would not believe, unless Allāh wills, but most of them (of that) are ignorant.
112. Thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, devils from among men and jinn, some of them suggesting to others adorned speech (of falsehood) to deceive (them). Had your Lord 'Allāh' willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
113. So that the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter may incline to their (deceit), being pleased to continue doing what they are doing (of evil).
114. Shall I then seek a judge other than Allāh? It is He Who has revealed to you the Book (this Qur’an), explained in detail. Those whom We have given the (past) Scripture know that it (the Qur’an) is revealed from 'Allāh' your Lord in truth, so be not of the doubters.
119. What reason have you that you should not eat of that on which the Name of Allāh has been mentioned13, while He has already explained to you in detail what has been forbidden to you - except what you are compelled to14. Indeed many 'deviants' would lead 'people' astray by their lowly desires without any knowledge. Your Lord 'Allāh' knows best the transgressors.
13. Upon slaughtering it.
14. In cases of dire necessity, what is normally prohibited becomes permissible, but only to the extent of the need.
121. Do not eat of that on which the Name of Allāh has not been mentioned. It (the eating thereof) is a grave sin. Indeed, the devils do inspire to their allies (among men) to dispute with you. If you obey them, you are certainly idolaters (like them).
122. Is he who was dead (heedless of faith), then We gave him (meaningful) life (by accepting Islam), and set for him a Light (right Guidance) by which he walks among the people (uprightly), like him (the denier) whose likeness is that of one in utter darkness where he cannot come forth? Thus what they do is made fair seeming to the deniers (of the Truth).
123. Thus have We made in every town leaders from its wicked ones to conspire therein. But they do not conspire except against themselves, and they do not perceive (it).
124. When a Sign comes to them they say: "We shall not believe till we are given the like of what Allah’s messengers were given." Allāh knows best where He places His message. There will befall those who commit (great) crimes humiliation from Allāh and a severe torment, for their scheming.
125. Whoever Allāh wills to guide, He opens wide his chest for Islam, and (for) whom He wills to leave astray, He makes his chest tight and constricted as though he were ascending upwards towards the sky. Thus does Allāh place abomination on those who do not believe (in the Truth).
128. On the Day when He will gather them all together (for Judgment, saying): " Assembly of jinn, you took away a great part of mankind". Their allies from among men will say: "Our Lord 'Allāh', some of us made use of others, and we have (now) reached our appointed term which You did appoint for us". He will say: "The Fire (of Hell) is your Home to abide therein forever except as Allāh may will." Your Lord 'Allāh' is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
130. "You assembly of jinn and humans, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." This world’s life deceived them15, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were deniers.
15. This is the reason behind that they were straying; they were lured by this worldly life and all the pleasures it has to offer.
132. For all are ranks according to what they did. Your Lord 'Allāh' is not unaware of what they do16.
16. The different ranks people will occupy in the Hereafter either in Hell or Paradise, will be each according to their deeds. The more good one does, the higher rank they will have in Paradise, the more evil one commits the severer the place in Hell.
133. Your Lord 'Allāh' is the Rich 'free of all needs', Possessor of Mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you, and replace you with whoever He wills, just as He raised you up from the offspring of another people.
135. Say: "People, work according to your capacities and positions; for indeed I am working 'in Allah's way'; so you will soon come to know, for whom will be the "good' end of the Home 'of Bliss'. The workers of iniquity will not succeed and prosper.
136. They (the idolaters) set apart a portion for Allāh out of what He has created of crops and cattle, and say: "This is for Allāh" - so they claim, "and this for our partners (idols)." But what is (allocated) for their idols, it does not reach Allāh, while what is (allocated) for Allāh, it reaches their idols17. Evil it is that which they judge.
17. It was an Arab heathen ritual to allocate two shares out of their livestock; a share for Allāh and a share for idols. If a portion of Allāh’s share was mixed with that of their idols, they would not deduct it, saying that Allāh is in no need of it. Yet if a portion of their idols’ share fell with that of Allāh’s they would readily take it and add it on to their idols’ share.
137. Thus their (so called) partners (i.e., demons) have made fair seeming to most of the idolaters the killing of their children, that they may ruin them and confuse them in their faith 'and deeds'. If Allāh had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
138. They say: "These cattle and crops are forbidden, none shall eat them except such as we will" - so they claim - and cattle whose backs are forbidden, and cattle on which they would not mention Allah’s Name - inventing a lie against Him. He will recompense them for what they invented.
139. They also say: "What is in the wombs of these cattle is especially for our males, and forbidden to our wives." If it be stil-born, then they are all partners in it. He will recompense them for their attributing (of falsehood to Him). He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
140. They are lost indeed who kill their children foolishly without knowledge, and forbid what Allāh has given to them, inventing a lie against Allāh. They have indeed gone astray, and were not guided.
141. It is He 'Allāh' Who produces gardens (of vine), trellised and untrellised, and palms and crops of different kinds of food, and olives and pomegranates, similar 'in shape' yet different 'in taste'. Eat of its fruit when it bears fruit, and pay the due of it on the day of its harvest. Do not be wasteful. He does not like the wasteful.
142. Of cattle (He created) are carriers of burdens18 and those (too small) which are fit for slaughter only. Eat of what Allāh has given you and do not follow the footsteps of Satan; for he is your sworn enemy.
18. The Prophet Muhammad said, "While a man was riding a cow, it turned towards him and said, 'I have not been created for this purpose (i.e. riding), I have been created for ploughing." The Prophet went on, "A wolf caught a sheep, and when the shepherd chased it, the wolf said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when there will be no shepherd for it except me?' "(It has been written that) a wolf also spoke to one of the companions of the Prophet near Medina. He said, "I was amongst my sheep. Suddenly a wolf caught a sheep and I shouted at it. The wolf sat on its tail and addressed me, saying, 'Who will look after it (i.e. the sheep) when you will be busy and not able to look after it? Do you forbid me the provision which Allāh has provided me?' " He added, "I clapped my hands and said, 'By Allāh, I have never seen anything more curious and wonderful than this!' On that the wolf said, 'There is something (more curious) and wonderful than this; that is, Muhammad, God's messenger, in those palm trees, inviting people to God (i.e. Islam).' "Then he went to God's messenger and informed what happened and embraced Islam.
143. Eight in pairs - two of sheep and two of goats. Say: "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge if you are truthful.
144. And two of camels and two of cows. Say: "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain?" Or were you witnesses when Allāh enjoined you (with) that? Who then is more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allāh to lead people astray without knowledge? Indeed Allāh does not guide the unjust people.
145. Say 'Muhammad': "I do not find that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden for one to eat, unless it be carrion, or flowing blood, or pork, for indeed it is impure, or that which is (slaughtered in) transgression, dedicated to other than Allāh; but whoever is forced by necessity, not desiring it nor exceeding due limits, then your Lord 'Allāh' is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
146. To the Jews, We made unlawful every animal having claws19, and of oxen and sheep We made unlawful to them the fat of both, except such as was on their backs or their entrails or what was mixed with bones. This was a punishment which We repaid them for their wrongdoing, and We are certainly Truthful.
19. i.e., clawed animals that have nails in their toes, e.g., camels, ostriches, duck, geese, etc.
147. But if they reject you 'Muhammad', then say: "Your Lord 'Allāh' is the Lord of All-Encompassing Mercy; and His wrath cannot be averted from the wicked people."
148. The idolaters will say: "If Allāh had willed, we would not have worshipped idols, nor our fathers, nor would we have made anything unlawful; even so did those before them deny (God’s messengers) until they tasted the severity of Our wrath. Say: "Have you any (Divine) knowledge with you that you can produce for us?" You follow nothing but conjecture and you are only guessing.
150. Say: "Bring your witnesses who can testify that Allāh has forbidden such (animals)." If they testify, do not bear witness with them. Do not follow the low desires of those who reject Our verses, and of those who do not believe in the Hereafter, while they make (others) equal to (Allāh) their 'real' Lord.
151. Say 'Muhammad': "Come, I will recite what 'Allāh' your Lord has prohibited to you: "Do not associate anything with Allāh 'in worship'20, and 'do not offend against but, rather,' honor and do good to your parents. Do not kill your children for (fear of) poverty, for We provide provision for you and for them. Do not approach indecencies either in public or in private. Do not kill a life which Allāh has made sacred except with (legal) right. Thus does He command you, that you may reason.
