[ Holy Quran - Chapter : 4 - Surat : An-Nisa’ ( Women ) - Verses : 1 - 176 ]
In the name of Allah the Almighty God , the Most Beneficent , the Most Merciful .
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single
person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from
them both He created many men and women; and fear Allâh through Whom you demand
(your mutual rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship)[].
Surely, Allâh is Ever an All¬Watcher over you. (1) And give unto orphans their
property and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones; and
devour not their substance (by adding it) to your substance. Surely, this is a
great sin.[] (2) And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with
the orphan¬girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or
four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them),
then only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to
prevent you from doing injustice. (3) And give to the women (whom you marry)
their Mahr (obligatory bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the
time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure,
remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as
Allâh has made it lawful). (4) And give not unto the foolish your property
which Allâh has made a means of support for you[], but feed and clothe
them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice. (5) And try orphans
(as regards their intelligence) until they reach the age of marriage; if then
you find sound judgement in them, release their property to them, but consume
it not wastefully, and hastily fearing that they should grow up, and whoever
(amongst guardians) is rich, he should take no wages, but if he is poor, let
him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his labour). And
when you release their property to them, take witness in their presence; and
Allâh is All¬Sufficient in taking account. (6)There is a share for men and a
share for women from what is left by parents and those nearest related,
whether, the property be small or large - a legal share. (7) And when the
relatives and the orphans and Al¬Masâkin (the poor) are present at the time of
division, give them out of the property, and speak to them words of kindness
and justice. (8) And let those (executors and guardians) have the same fear in
their minds as they would have for their own, if they had left weak offspring
behind. So let them fear Allâh and speak right words. (9) Verily, those who
unjustly eat up the property of orphans, they eat up only a fire into their
bellies, and they will be burnt in the blazing Fire! (10) Allâh commands you as
regards your children's (inheritance); to the male, a portion equal to that of
two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two
thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is half. For parents, a sixth
share of inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children, and
the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left
brothers or (sisters), the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases
is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts. You know not
which of them, whether your parents or your children, are nearest to you in
benefit, (these fixed shares) are ordained by Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All¬Knower,
All¬Wise. (11)In that which your wives leave, your share is a half if they have
no child; but if they leave a child, you get a fourth of that which they leave
after payment of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts. In that which
you leave, their (your wives) share is a fourth if you leave no child; but if
you leave a child, they get an eighth of that which you leave after payment of
legacies that you may have bequeathed or debts. If the man or woman whose
inheritance is in question has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has
left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than
two, they share in a third; after payment of lagacies he (or she) may have
bequeathed or debts, so that no loss is caused (to anyone). This is a
Commandment from Allâh; and Allâh is Ever All¬Knowing,
Most¬Forbearing. (12) These are the limits (set by) Allâh (or ordainments as
regards laws of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger
(Muhammad SAW) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow
(in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success. (13)
And whosoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and transgresses
His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have
a disgraceful torment. (14)And those of your women who commit illegal sexual
intercourse, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them;
and if they testify, confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to
them or Allâh ordains for them some (other) way.[] (15) And the two persons
(man and woman) among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, hurt them
both.[] And if they repent (promise Allâh that they will never repeat, i.e.
commit illegal sexual intercourse and other similar sins) and do righteous good
deeds, leave them alone. Surely, Allâh is Ever All-Forgiving (the One Who
forgives and accepts repentance), (and He is) Most Merciful. (16) Allâh accepts
only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and
repent soon afterwards; it is they whom Allâh will forgive and Allâh is Ever
All¬Knower, All¬Wise. (17) And of no effect is the repentance of those who
continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: "Now
I repent;" nor of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We
have prepared a painful torment. (18) O you who believe! You are forbidden to
inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness,
that you may take away part of the Mahr[] you have given them, unless they
commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them honourably. If you
dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allâh brings through it a
great deal of good. (19)But if you intend to replace a wife by another and you
have given one of them a Qintar (of gold i.e. a great amount as Mahr), take not
the least bit of it back; would you take it wrongfully without a right and
(with) a manifest sin? (20) And how could you take it (back) while you have
gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a firm and strong
covenant? (21) And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has
already passed; indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way. (22)
Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, your daughters, your
sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters,
your sister's daughters, your foster mother who gave you suck, your foster milk
suckling sisters, your wives' mothers, your step daughters under your
guardianship, born of your wives to whom you have gone in - but there is no sin
on you if you have not gone in them (to marry their daughters), - the wives of
your sons who (spring) from your own loins, and two sisters in wedlock at the
same time, except for what has already passed; verily, Allâh is Oft¬Forgiving,
Most Merciful. (23)Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those
(slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for you. All
others are lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr (bridal -
money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) from your
property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse, so with
those of whom you have enjoyed sexual relations, give them their Mahr as
prescribed; but if after a Mahr is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give
more), there is no sin on you. Surely, Allâh is Ever All¬Knowing, All¬Wise (24)
And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women,
they may wed believing girls from among those (slaves) whom your right hands
possess, and Allâh has full knowledge about your Faith, you are one from
another. Wed them with the permission of their own folk (guardians, Auliyâ' or
masters) and give them their Mahr according to what is reasonable; they (the
above said captive and slave-girls) should be chaste, not adulterous, nor
taking boy-friends. And after they have been taken in wedlock, if they commit
illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is half that for free (unmarried)
women.[] This is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his
religion or in his body; but it is better for you that you practise
self¬restraint, and Allâh is Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful (25) Allâh wishes to
make clear (what is lawful and what is unlawful) to you, and to show you the
ways of those before you, and accept your repentance, and Allâh is All¬Knower,
All¬Wise. (26)Allâh wishes to accept your repentance, but those who follow
their lusts, wish that you (believers) should deviate tremendously away (from
the Right Path). (27) Allâh wishes to lighten (the burden) for you; and man was
created weak (cannot be patient to leave sexual intercourse with woman). (28) O
you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it
be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill
one another). Surely, Allâh is Most Merciful to you.[] (29) And whoever commits
that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the Fire, and
that is easy for Allâh. (30) If you avoid the great sins[] which you are
forbidden to do, We shall expiate from you your (small) sins, and admit you to
a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise). (31) And wish not for the things in
which Allâh has made some of you to excel others. For men there is reward for
what they have earned, (and likewise) for women there is reward for what they
have earned, and ask Allâh of His Bounty. Surely, Allâh is Ever All¬Knower of
everything. (32) And to everyone, We have appointed heirs of that (property)
left by parents and relatives. To those also with whom you have made a pledge
(brotherhood), give them their due portion (by Wasiyyah will). Truly, Allâh is
Ever a Witness over all things. (33)Men are the protectors and maintainers of
women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they
spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are
devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's
absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's
property). As to those women on whose part you see ill¬conduct, admonish them
(first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if
it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of
annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great (34) If you fear a breach
between them twain (the man and his wife), appoint (two) arbitrators, one from
his family and the other from her's; if they both wish for peace, Allâh will
cause their reconciliation. Indeed Allâh is Ever All¬Knower, Well¬Acquainted
with all things. (35) Worship Allâh and join none with Him (in worship), and do
good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masâkin (the poor), the neighbour who is
near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the
wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily,
Allâh does not like such as are proud and boastful; (36) Those who are miserly
and enjoin miserliness on other men and hide what Allâh has bestowed upon them
of His Bounties. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful
torment.[] (37)And (also) those who spend of their substance to be seen of men,
and believe not in Allâh and the Last Day [they are the friends of Shaitân
(Satan)], and whoever takes Shaitân (Satan) as an intimate; then what a
dreadful intimate he has! (38) And what loss have they if they had believed in
Allâh and in the Last Day, and they spend out of what Allâh has given them for
sustenance? And Allâh is Ever All¬Knower of them (39) Surely! Allâh wrongs not
even of the weight of an atom (or a small ant)[], but if there is any good
(done), He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward (40) How (will it be)
then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad
SAW) as a witness against these people? (41) On that day those who disbelieved
and disobeyed the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) will wish that they were buried in
the earth, but they will never be able to hide a single fact from Allâh.[] (42)
O you who believe! Approach not As¬Salât (the prayer) when you are in a drunken
state until you know (the meaning) of what you utter, nor when you are in a
state of Janâba, (i.e. in a state of sexual impurity and have not yet taken a
bath) except when travelling on the road (without enough water, or just passing
through a mosque), till you wash your whole body. And if you are ill, or on a
journey, or one of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have
been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and you find no water, perform
Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands (Tayammum)[].
Truly, Allâh is Ever Oft¬Pardoning, Oft¬Forgiving. (43) Have you not seen those
who were given a portion of the book (the Jews), purchasing the wrong path, and
wish that you should go astray from the Right Path. (44)Allâh has full
knowledge of your enemies, and Allâh is Sufficient as a Walî (Protector), and
Allâh is Sufficient as a Helper. (45) Among those who are Jews, there are some
who displace words from (their) right places and say: "We hear your word
(O Muhammad SAW ) and disobey," and "Hear and let you (O Muhammad
SAW) hear nothing." And Râ'ina[] with a twist of their tongues and as a
mockery of the religion (Islâm). And if only they had said: "We hear and
obey", and "Do make us understand," it would have been better
for them, and more proper, but Allâh has cursed them for their disbelief, so
they believe not except a few. (46) O you who have been given the Scripture
(Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad SAW)
confirming what is (already) with you, before We efface faces (by making them
like the back of necks; without nose, mouth, eyes) and turn them hindwards, or
curse them as We cursed the Sabbath¬breakers.[] And the Commandment of Allâh is
always executed.[] (47) Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set
up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom
He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allâh in worship, he has indeed
invented a tremendous sin.[] (48) Have you not seen those (Jews and
Christians)[] who claim sanctity for themselves. Nay, but Allâh sanctifies whom
He wills, and they will not be dealt with injustice even equal to the extent of
a scalish thread in the long slit of a date-stone. (49) Look, how they invent a
lie against Allâh, and enough is that as a manifest sin. (50) Have you not seen
those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They believe in Jibt and
Tâghût[] and say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the
way than the believers (Muslims). (51)They are those whom Allâh has cursed, and
he whom Allâh curses, you will not find for him (any) helper, (52) Or have they
a share in the dominion? Then in that case they would not give mankind even a
speck on the back of a date-stone. (53) Or do they envy men (Muhammad SAW and
his followers) for what Allâh has given them of His Bounty? Then We had already
given the family of Ibrâhim (Abraham) the Book and Al¬Hikmah (As¬Sunnah -
Divine Revelation to those Prophets not written in the form of a book), and conferred
upon them a great kingdom (54) Of them were (some) who believed in him
(Muhammad SAW), and of them were (some) who averted their faces from him
(Muhammad SAW); and enough is Hell for burning (them).[] (55) Surely! Those who
disbelieved in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are
roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the
punishment. Truly, Allâh is Ever Most Powerful, All¬Wise. (56) But those who
believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do deeds of
righteousness, We shall admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow
(Paradise), abiding therein forever. Therein they shall have Azwâjun
Mutahharatun[] [purified mates or wives] and We shall admit them to shades wide
and ever deepening (Paradise)[]. (57) Verily! Allâh commands that you should
render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge
between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching
which He (Allâh) gives you! Truly, Allâh is Ever All¬Hearer, All¬Seer. (58) O
you who believe! Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of
you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst
yourselves, refer it to Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), if you believe in Allâh
and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.
(59)Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which
has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they
wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Tâghût (false judges) while
they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitân (Satan) wishes to lead them
far astray.[] (60) And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allâh has
sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)," you (Muhammad SAW) see the
hypocrites turn away from you (Muhammad SAW) with aversion (61) How then, when
a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, they
come to you swearing by Allâh, "We meant no more than goodwill and
conciliation!" (62) They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allâh knows what
is in their hearts; so turn aside from them (do not punish them) but admonish
them, and speak to them an effective word (i.e. to believe in Allâh, worship
Him, obey Him, and be afraid of Him) to reach their innerselves (63) We sent no
Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allâh's Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they
had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad SAW) and begged
Allâh's Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed,
they would have found Allâh All-Forgiving (One Who forgives and accepts
repentance), Most Merciful. (64) But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith,
until they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge in all disputes between them, and
find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with
full submission. (65)And if We had ordered them (saying), "Kill yourselves
(i.e. the innnocent ones kill the guilty ones) or leave your homes," very
few of them would have done it; but if they had done what they were told, it
would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith); (66)
And indeed We should then have bestowed upon them a great reward from Ourselves
(67) And indeed We should have guided them to a Straight Way (68) And whoso
obeys Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), then they will be in the company
of those on whom Allâh has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqûn
(those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in
them, like Abu Bakr As¬Siddiq radhiallahu'anhu), the martyrs, and the
righteous. And how excellent these companions are! (69) Such is the Bounty from
Allâh, and Allâh is Sufficient as All¬Knower. (70) O you who believe! Take your
precautions, and either go forth (on an expedition) in parties, or go forth all
together. (71) There is certainly among you he who would linger behind (from
fighting in Allâh's Cause). If a misfortune befalls you, he says, "Indeed
Allâh has favoured me in that I was not present among them." (72) But if a
bounty (victory and booty) comes to you from Allâh, he would surely say - as if
there had never been ties of affection between you and him - "Oh! I wish I
had been with them; then I would have achieved a great success ( a good share
of booty)." (73) Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for
the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allâh, and whoso fights in the Cause of
Allâh, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. (74)And
what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allâh, and for those
weak, ill¬treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is:
"Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise
for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will
help." (75) Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allâh, and those who
disbelieve, fight in the cause of Tâghût (Satan,).[] So fight you against the
friends of Shaitân (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitân (Satan).
(76) Have you not seen those who were told to hold back their hands (from
fighting) and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât but when the
fighting was ordained for them, behold! a section of them fear men as they fear
Allâh or even more. They say: "Our Lord! Why have you ordained for us
fighting? Would that You had granted us respite for a short period?" Say:
"Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is (far) better for
him who fears Allâh, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly even equal to a
scalish thread in the long slit of a date-stone. (77) "Wheresoever you may
be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong and
high!" And if some good reaches them, they say, "This is from
Allâh," but if some evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you (O
Muhammad SAW)." Say: "All things are from Allâh," so what is
wrong with these people that they fail to understand any word? (78) Whatever of
good reaches you, is from Allâh, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself.
And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger to mankind, and Allâh is
Sufficient as a Witness.[] (79)He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), has
indeed obeyed Allâh, but he who turns away, then we have not sent you (O
Muhammad SAW) as a watcher over them.[] (80) They say: "We are
obedient," but when they leave you (Muhammad SAW), a section of them spend
all night in planning other than what you say. But Allâh records their nightly
(plots). So turn aside from them (do not punish them), and put your trust in
Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All¬Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. (81) Do they
not then consider the Qur'ân carefully? Had it been from other than Allâh, they
would surely have found therein many contradictions. (82) When there comes to them
some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the
people), if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with
authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from
them (directly). Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allâh upon you, you
would have followed Shaitân (Satan), save a few of you. (83) Then fight (O
Muhammad SAW) in the Cause of Allâh, you are not tasked (held responsible)
except for yourself, and incite the believers (to fight along with you), it may
be that Allâh will restrain the evil might of the disbelievers. And Allâh is
Stronger in Might and Stronger in punishing. (84) Whosoever intercedes for a
good cause will have the reward thereof, and whosoever intercedes for an evil
cause will have a share in its burden. And Allâh is Ever All-Able to do (and
also an All-Witness to) everything. (85) When you are greeted with a greeting,
greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally.
Certainly, Allâh is Ever a Careful Account Taker of all things.[] (86)Allâh! Lâ
ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Surely, He will
gather you together on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.
And who is truer in statement than Allâh? (87) Then what is the matter with you
that you are divided into two parties about the hypocrites? Allâh has cast them
back (to disbelief) because of what they have earned. Do you want to guide him
whom Allâh has made to go astray? And he whom Allâh has made to go astray, you
will never find for him any way (of guidance). (88) They wish that you reject
Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like
one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they
emigrate in the Way of Allâh (to Muhammad SAW). But if they turn back (from
Islâm), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them, and take
neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them. (89) Except
those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or
those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well
as fighting their own people. Had Allâh willed, indeed He would have given them
power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you,
and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allâh has opened no way
for you against them. (90) You will find others that wish to have security from
you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to
temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you
peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you
find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against
them. (91)It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by
mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he
must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be
given to the deceased's family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged
to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing
slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a
treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money - Diya) must be paid to
his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the
penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive
months in order to seek repentance from Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All¬Knowing,
All¬Wise. (92) And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is
Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allâh are upon him, and a
great punishment is prepared for him.[] (93) O you who believe! When you go (to
fight) in the Cause of Allâh, verify (the truth), and say not to anyone who
greets you (by embracing Islâm): "You are not a believer"; seeking
the perishable goods of the worldly life. There are much more profits and
booties with Allâh. Even as he is now, so were you yourselves before till Allâh
conferred on you His Favours (i.e. guided you to Islâm), therefore, be cautious
in discrimination. Allâh is Ever Well¬Aware of what you do. (94)Not equal are
those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by
injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause
of Allâh with their wealth and their lives. Allâh has preferred in grades those
who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit
(at home). Unto each, Allâh has promised good (Paradise), but Allâh has
preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a
huge reward; (95) Degrees of (higher) grades from Him, and Forgiveness and
Mercy. And Allâh is Ever Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful. (96) Verily! As for
those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as
they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for
them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?"
They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say:
"Was not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate
therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil
destination![] (97) Except the weak ones among men, women and children who
cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. (98) These are
they whom Allâh is likely to forgive them, and Allâh is Ever Oft-Pardoning,
Oft-Forgiving. (99) He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allâh,
will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever
leaves his home as an emigrant unto Allâh and His Messenger, and death
overtakes him, his reward is then surely incumbent upon Allâh. And Allâh is
Ever Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful. (100) And when you (Muslims) travel in the
land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As-Salât (the prayer) if you fear
that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you etc.), verily, the
disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies. (101) When you (O Messenger
Muhammad SAW) are among them, and lead them in As-Salât (the prayer), let one
party of them stand up [in Salât (prayer)] with you taking their arms with
them; when they finish their prostrations, let them take their positions in the
rear and let the other party come up which have not yet prayed, and let them
pray with you taking all the precautions and bearing arms. Those who disbelieve
wish, if you were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to attack you in a
single rush, but there is no sin on you if you put away your arms because of
the inconvenience of rain or because you are ill, but take every precaution for
yourselves. Verily, Allâh has prepared a humiliating torment for the
disbelievers.[] (102) When you have finished As-Salât (the prayer -
congregational), remember Allâh standing, sitting down, and (lying down) on
your sides, but when you are free from danger, perform As-Salât (Iqâmat¬as¬
Salât). Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed
hours. (103) And don't be weak in the pursuit of the enemy; if you are
suffering (hardships) then surely, they (too) are suffering (hardships) as you
are suffering, but you have a hope from Allâh (for the reward, i.e. Paradise)
that for which they hope not, and Allâh is Ever All¬Knowing, All¬Wise. (104)
Surely, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad SAW) the Book (this Qur'ân) in
truth that you might judge between men by that which Allâh has shown you (i.e.
has taught you through Divine Revelation), so be not a pleader for the
treacherous. (105)And seek the Forgiveness of Allâh,[] certainly, Allâh is Ever
Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful (106) And argue not on behalf of those who deceive
themselves. Verily, Allâh does not like anyone who is a betrayer of his trust,
and sinner. (107) They may hide (their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide
(them) from Allâh, for He is with them (by His Knowledge), when they plot by
night in words that He does not approve, And Allâh ever encompasses what they
do. (108) Lo! You are those who have argued for them in the life of this world,
but who will argue for them on the Day of Resurrection against Allâh, or who
will then be their defender? (109) And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but
afterwards seeks Allâh's Forgiveness, he will find Allâh Oft¬Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (110) And whoever earns sin, he earns it only against himself. And
Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. (111) And whoever earns a fault or a sin
and then throws it on to someone innocent, he has indeed burdened himself with
falsehood and a manifest sin. (112) Had not the Grace of Allâh and His Mercy
been upon you (O Muhammad SAW), a party of them would certainly have made a
decision to mislead you, but (in fact) they mislead none except their own
selves, and no harm can they do to you in the least. Allâh has sent down to you
the Book (The Qur'ân), and Al¬Hikmah (Islâmic laws, knowledge of legal and
illegal things i.e. the Prophet's Sunnah - legal ways), and taught you that
which you knew not. And Ever Great is the Grace of Allâh unto you (O Muhammad
SAW) (113)There is no good in most of their secret talks save (in) him who
orders Sadaqah (charity in Allâh's Cause), or Ma'rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and
all the good and righteous deeds which Allâh has ordained), or conciliation
between mankind, and he who does this, seeking the good Pleasure of Allâh, We
shall give him a great reward (114) And whoever contradicts and opposes the
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) after the right path has been shown clearly to him,
and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the path he has
chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination.[] (115) Verily! Allâh
forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners (in worship) with Him, but He
forgives whom He wills sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in
worship with Allâh, has indeed strayed far away. (116) They (all those who
worship others than Allâh) invoke nothing but female deities besides Him
(Allâh), and they invoke nothing but Shaitân (Satan), a persistent rebel! (117)
Allâh cursed him. And he [Shaitân (Satan)] said: "I will take an appointed
portion of your slaves; (118) Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will
arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears
of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by
Allâh." And whoever takes Shaitân (Satan) as a Walî (protector or helper)
instead of Allâh, has surely suffered a manifest loss.[] (119) He [Shaitan
(Satan)] makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and
Shaitan's (Satan) promises are nothing but deceptions. (120) The dwelling of
such (people) is Hell, and they will find no way of escape from it. (121)But
those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do deeds
of righteousness, We shall admit them to the Gardens under which
rivers flow (i.e. in Paradise) to dwell therein forever. Allâh's Promise
is the Truth, and whose words can be truer than those of Allâh? (Of course,
none). (122) It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor
those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works
evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will not find any protector or
helper besides Allâh. (123) And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or
female, and is a (true) believer [in the Oneness of Allâh (Muslim)], such will
enter Paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a speck on the
back of a date-stone, will be done to them. (124) And who can be better in
religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allâh (i.e. follows Allâh's
religion of Islâmic Monotheism); and he is a Muhsin (a good-doer - see V.2:112).
And follows the religion of Ibrâhim[] (Abraham) Hanifa (Islâmic Monotheism - to
worship none but Allâh Alone). And Allâh did take Ibrâhim (Abraham) as a Khalil
(an intimate friend)! (125) And to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and
all that is in the earth. And Allâh is Ever Encompassing all things: (126) They
ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allâh instructs you about
them, and about what is recited unto you in the Book concerning the orphan
girls whom you give not the prescribed portions (as regards Mahr and
inheritance) and yet whom you desire to marry, and (concerning) the children
who are weak and oppressed, and that you stand firm for justice to orphans. And
whatever good you do, Allâh is Ever All¬Aware of it. (127)And if a woman fears
cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no sin on them both if
they make terms of peace between themselves; and making peace is better. And
human inner-selves are swayed by greed. But if you do good and keep away from
evil, verily, Allâh is Ever Well¬Acquainted with what you do. (128) You will
never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent
desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your
time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor
married). And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allâh by
keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allâh is Ever Oft¬Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (129) But if they separate (by divorce), Allâh will provide abundance
for everyone of them from His Bounty. And Allâh is Ever All¬Sufficient for His
creatures' need, All¬Wise. (130) And to Allâh belongs all that is in the
heavens and all that is in the earth. And verily, We have recommended to the
people of the Scripture before you, and to you (O Muslims) that you (all) fear
Allâh, and keep your duty to Him, But if you disbelieve, then unto Allâh
belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and Allâh is
Ever Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise. (131) And to Allâh belongs
all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is Ever
All¬Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. (132) If He wills, He can take you
away, O people, and bring others. And Allâh is Ever All¬Potent over that. (133)
Whoever desires a reward in this life of the world, then with Allâh (Alone and
none else) is the reward of this worldly life and of the Hereafter. And Allâh
is Ever All¬Hearer, All¬Seer. (134)O you who believe! Stand out firmly for
justice, as witnesses to Allâh, even though it be against yourselves, or your
parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allâh is a Better Protector to both
(than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you avoid justice,
and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allâh is Ever
Well¬Acquainted with what you do.[] (135) O you who believe! Believe in Allâh,
and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and the Book (the Qur'ân) which He has sent
down to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to those before
(him), and whosoever disbelieves in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, His
Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away (136) Verily,
those who believe, then disbelieve, then believe (again), and (again)
disbelieve, and go on increasing in disbelief; Allâh will not forgive them, nor
guide them on the (Right) Way (137) Give to the hypocrites the tidings that
there is for them a painful torment. (138) Those who take disbelievers for
Auliyâ' (protectors or helpers or friends) instead of believers, do they seek
honour, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allâh belongs all honour,
power and glory. (139) And it has already been revealed to you in the Book
(this Qur'ân) that when you hear the Verses of Allâh being denied and mocked
at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that; (but
if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely,
Allâh will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell, (140)Those (hyprocrites)
who wait and watch about you; if you gain a victory from Allâh, they say:
"Were we not with you?" But if the disbelievers gain a success, they
say (to them): "Did we not gain mastery over you and did we not protect
you from the believers?" Allâh will judge between you (all) on the Day of
Resurrection. And never will Allâh grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph)
over the believers. (141) Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allâh, but it
is He Who deceives them.[] And when they stand up for As-Salât (the prayer),
they stand with laziness and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allâh
but little. (142) (They are) swaying between this and that, belonging neither
to these nor to those, and he whom Allâh sends astray, you will not find for
him a way (to the truth - Islâm). (143) O you who believe! Take not for Auliyâ'
(protectors or helpers or friends) disbelievers instead of believers. Do you
wish to offer Allâh a manifest proof against yourselves? (144) Verily, the
hyprocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will
you find for them.[] (145) Except those who repent (from hypocrisy), do
righteous good deeds, hold fast to Allâh, and purify their religion for Allâh
(by worshipping none but Allâh, and do good for Allâh’s sake only, not to show
off), then they will be with the believers. And Allâh will grant the believers
a great reward. (146) Why should Allâh punish you if you have thanked (Him) and
have believed in Him. And Allâh is Ever All¬Appreciative (of good),
All¬Knowing. (147)Allâh does not like that the evil should be uttered in public
except by him who has been wronged. And Allâh is Ever All¬Hearer, All¬Knower. (148)
Whether you (mankind) disclose (by good words of thanks) a good deed (done to
you in the form of a favour by someone), or conceal it, or pardon an evil, …
verily, Allâh is Ever Oft-Pardoning, All-Powerful. (149) Verily, those who
disbelieve in Allâh and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between
Allâh and His Messengers (by believing in Allâh and disbelieving in His
Messengers) saying, "We believe in some but reject others," and wish
to adopt a way in between. (150) They are in truth disbelievers. And We have
prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment. (151) And those who
believe in Allâh and His Messengers and make no distinction between any of them
(Messengers), We shall give them their rewards, and Allâh is Ever
Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful. (152) The people of the Scripture (Jews) ask you
to cause a book to descend upon them from heaven. Indeed they asked Mûsa
(Moses) for even greater than that, when they said: "Show us Allâh in
public," but they were struck with thunderclap and lightning for their
wickedness. Then they worshipped the calf even after clear proofs, evidences,
and signs had come to them. (Even) so We forgave them. And We gave Mûsa (Moses)
a clear proof of authority. (153) And for their covenant, We raised over them
the Mount and (on the other occasion) We said: "Enter the gate prostrating
(or bowing) with humility;" and We commanded them: "Transgress not
(by doing worldly works) on the Sabbath (Saturday)." And We took from them
a firm covenant[]. (154)Because of their breaking the covenant, and of their
rejecting the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.) of Allâh, and of their killing the Prophets unjustly, and of their
saying: "Our hearts are wrapped (with coverings, i.e. we do not understand
what the Messengers say)" - nay, Allâh has set a seal upon their hearts
because of their disbelief, so they believe not but a little. (155) And because
of their (Jews) disbelief and uttering against Maryam (Mary A.S. ) a grave
false charge (that she has committed illegal sexual intercourse); (156) And
because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Īsā (Jesus), son
of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," - but they killed him not, nor
crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Īsā (Jesus) was put over another man
(and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts.
They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For
surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Īsā (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) A.S.]: (157)
But Allâh raised him ['Īsā (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself
(and he A.S. is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. (158)
And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but
must believe in him ['Īsā (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of
Allâh and a human being],[] before his ['Īsā (Jesus) A.S. or a Jew's or a
Christian's] death[] (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And
on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Īsā (Jesus)] will be a witness against them (159)
For the wrong-doing of the Jews, We made unlawful for them certain good foods
which has been lawful for them, and for their hindering many from Allâh's Way;
(160) And their taking of Ribâ (usury) though they were forbidden from taking
it and their devouring of men's substance wrongfully (bribery). And We have
prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful torment. (161) But those
among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers, believe in
what has been sent down to you (Muhammad SAW) and what was sent down before
you, and those who perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât and
believe in Allâh and in the Last Day, it is they to whom We shall give a great
reward. (162)Verily, We have sent the revelation to you (O Muhammad SAW)[] as
We sent the revelation to Nûh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) sent
the revelation to Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Ismâ‘îl (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), Ya‘qûb
(Jacob), and Al-Asbât [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya‘qûb (Jacob)],
‘Îsâ (Jesus), Ayyûb (Job), Yûnus (Jonah), Hârûn (Aaron), and Sulaimân
(Solomon); and to Dâwûd (David) We gave the Zabûr (Psalms). (163) And
Messengers We have mentioned to you before, and Messengers We have not
mentioned to you, - and to Mûsa (Moses) Allâh spoke directly. (164) Messengers
as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have
no plea against Allâh after the (coming of) Messengers. And Allâh is Ever
All-Powerful, All-Wise. (165) But Allâh bears witness to that which He has sent
down (the Qur'ân) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), He has sent it down with His
Knowledge, and the angels bear witness. And Allâh is All-Sufficient as a Witness.
(166) Verily, those who disbelieve [by concealing the truth about Prophet
Muhammad SAW and his message of true Islâmic Monotheism written in the Taurât
(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) with them] and prevent (mankind) from the Path
of Allâh (Islâmic Monotheism), they have certainly strayed far away. (Tafsir
Al-Qurtubî). (167) Verily, those who disbelieve and did wrong [by concealing
the truth about Prophet Muhammad SAW and his message of true Islâmic Monotheism
written in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) with them], Allâh will
not forgive them, nor will He guide them to any way, - (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî). (168)
Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein forever, and this is ever easy for
Allâh. (169) O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW) with the truth from your Lord, so believe in him, it is better for you.
But if you disbelieve, then certainly to Allâh belongs all that is in the
heavens and the earth. And Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. (170)O people
of the Scripture! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh
aught but the truth. The Messiah Īsā(Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more
than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which
He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh)[] created by Him; so believe in
Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is)
better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), glory be to Him (Far
Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens
and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All¬Sufficient as a Disposer of
affairs.[] (171) The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave of
Allâh, nor the angels who are near (to Allâh). And whosoever rejects His
worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together unto Himself. (172)
So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism)
and did deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards, and more out
of His Bounty. But as for those who refused His worship and were proud, He will
punish them with a painful torment . And they will not find for themselves
besides Allâh any protector or helper. (173) O mankind! Verily, there has come
to you a convincing proof (Prophet Muhammad SAW) from your Lord, and We sent
down to you a manifest light (this Qur'ân). (174) So, as for those who believed
in Allâh and held fast to Him, He will admit them to His Mercy and Grace
(i.e. Paradise), and guide them to Himself by a Straight Path. (175) They ask
you for a legal verdict. Say: "Allâh directs (thus) about Al¬Kalâlah
(those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs). If it is a man
that dies, leaving a sister, but no child, she shall have half the inheritance.
If (such a deceased was) a woman, who left no child, her brother takes her
inheritance. If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the
inheritance; if there are brothers and sisters, the male will have twice the
share of the female. (Thus) does Allâh makes clear to you (His Law) lest you go
astray. And Allâh is the All-Knower of everything." (176)
