O ye who believe!
fulfil the compacts. Allowed unto you is the beast of the flock except
that which is rehearsed unto you, not allowing the chase while ye
are in a state of sanctity. Verily Allah ordaineth whatsoever He will. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
O ye who believe!
profane not the landmarks of Allah nor any sacred month nor the offering
nor the victims with the garlands nor those repairing to the Sacred
House seeking the grace of their Lord and His goodwill. And when ye
have put off the state of sanctity, ye may chase. And let not the
hatred against a people, because they kept you from the Sacred Mosque,
incite you to trespass. Assist each other to virtue and piety, and
assist not each other to sin and transgression, Fear Allah: verily
Allah is Severe in chastising. |
|

Forbidden unto
you are the deadmeat, and blood, and the flesh of the swine, and that
over which is invoked the name of other than Allah, and the strangled,
and the felled, and the tumbled, and the gored, and that which wild
animals have devoured, unless ye have cleansed, and that which hath
been slaughtered on the altars, and that ye seek a division by means
of the divining arrows: all that is an abomination. To- day those
who disbelieve have despaired of your religion; wherefore fear them
not, and fear Me. To-day I have perfected for you your religion, and
have completed My favour upon you, and am well-pleased with Islam
as your religion. Then whosoever is driven to extreme hunger not inclining
to sin, verily then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |

They ask thee
as to whatever is allowed unto them. Say thou: allowed unto you are
all clean foods, and as to the animals of prey which ye have taught
even as Allah hath taught you, eat of that which they have caught
for you, and mention the name of Allah over it; and fear Allah, verily
Allah is swift in reckoning. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
To-day are allowed
unto you all clean foods, and the meat of those vouchsafed the Book
is allowable for you, and your meat is allowable for them as also
are the wedded believing women and the wedded women of those vouchsafed
the Book before you, when ye have given them their dowers, taking
them in wedlock, neither fornicating, nor taking them is secret
paramours. And who soever rejecteth the faith, his work will surely
come to naught, and in the Hereafter he shall be of the losers. |

O ye who believe!
when ye stand up for the prayer wash your faces and your hands unto
the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet unto the ankles.
And if ye be polluted, then purify yourselves And if ye be ailing
or on a journey or one of you cometh from the privy or ye have touched
women, and ye find not water, then betake yourselves to clean earth
and wipe your faces and hands therewith. Allah intendeth not to lay
upon you a hardship, but intendeth to purify you and to complete His
favour upon you, that haply ye may return thanks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And remember
Allah's favour on you and His bond wherewith He bound you firmly when
ye said: we hearken and we obey. And fear Allah: verily Allah is Knower
of that which is in the breasts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
O ye who believe!
be maintainers of your pact with Allah and witnesses in equity, and
let not the hatred of a people incite you not to act fairly; act fairly;
that is highest unto piety. And fear Allah; verily Allah is Aware
of that which ye work. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Allah hath promised
those who believe and work righteous works that for them shall be
forgiveness; and a mighty hire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And those who
disbelieve and belie Our signs, they shall be the fellows of the Flaming
Fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
O ye who believe!
remember Allah's favour on you when a people determined to stretch
forth their hands against you, but he withheld their hands from you,
And fear Allah, and in Allah let the believers trust. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And assuredly
Allah took a bond from the Children of Isra'il, and We raised
from amongst them twelve wardens. And Allah said: verily I am with
you, if ye establish prayer and give the poor-rate and believe in
My apostles and support them and lend unto Allah a goodly loan, I
shall surely expiate for you your misdeeds and surely shall make you
enter the Gardens whereunder rivers flow; then whosoever of you shall
disbelieve thereafter, he hath surely strayed from the level way. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Wherefore for
their breach of their bond We accursed them and We made their hearts
hard. They pervert the words from the meanings thereof and have abandoned
a good portion of that wherewith they were admonished. And thou wilt
not cease to light upon defrauding on their part, save a few of them;
yet pardon thou them and overlook them, verily Allah loveth the well-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And of them
who say: verily we are Nazarenes, We took a bond from them, but they
have abandoned a good portion of that wherewith they were admonished.
Wherefore We have occasioned enmity and hatred amongst them till the
Day of Judgement, and presently Allah shall declare unto them that
which they have been performing. |
|
|
|
|
|

O ye people
of the Book! surely there hath come Our apostle unto you expounding
unto you much in the Book that ye were wont to hide, and much
he passeth over. Of a surety, there hath come unto you from Allah
a light and a Book luminous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Therewith Allah
guideth those who follow His goodwill unto the ways of safety, and
bringeth them forth out of darkness into the light by His leave, and
guideth them onto the right path. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Assuredly they
have disbelieved who say. verily God! He is the Masih, son of Maryam.
Say thou; who can avail in aught against Allah, if He intended to
destroy Masih, son of Maryam, and his mother and thou on the earth
altogether? And Allah's is the dominion of the heavens and the earth
and that which is in between the twain. He createth whatsoever He
will, and Allah is over everything Potent. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And the Jews
and the Nazarenes say: we are the children of God and His loved ones.
Say thou: wherefore then doth He torment you for your sins? Aye! ye
are but men, part of those whom He hath created. He forgiveth whomsoever
He will and tormenteth whomsoever He will. And Allah's is the dominion
of the heavens and the earth and that which is in- between the twain,
and unto Him in the return. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
O people of
the Book! surely there hath come unto you Our apostle, after
a cessation of the apostles, expounding unto you, lest ye may say:
there came not unto us a bearer of glad tidings nor a warner. So now
there surely hath come unto you a bearer of glad tidings and a warner;
and Allah is over everything Potent. |

And recall what
time Musa said unto his people: O my people! remember the favour of
Allah on you when he made amongst you prophets and made princes, and
vouchsafed unto you that which he vouchsafed not to anyone in the
world. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
O my people!
enter the holy land which Allah hath prescribed for you and turn not
back to your rearward for then ye become losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
They said: O
Musa! verily therein are a people high handed, and verily we shall
never enter it until they go forth therefrom; so if they go forth
thence, we shall verily enter in. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Thereupon spake
two men of those who feared and whom Allah had favoured; enter ye
the gate against them, then as ye enter it ye are the over - and put
your trust in Allah, if ye are indeed believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
They said: O
Musa! verily we shall never enter it so long as they remain therein;
go thou and thy Lord, and fight ye twain, we shall remain here sitting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Said he: my
Lord control not but myself and my brother, so decide Thou between
us and this transgressing people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Said He: verily
then it is forbidden unto them for forty years, while they shall wander
about in the earth, so mourn not thou over this transgressing people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And rehearse
thou unto them with truth the tale of the two sons of Adam, when the
twain offered an offering, and it was accepted from one of them, and
was not accepted from the other; he said: surely I will slay thee.
Said the other: Allah accepteth only from the God- fearing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
If thou stretchest
forth thine hand against me to slay me, I shall not be stretching
forth my hand against thee to slay thee, verily I fear Allah, the
Lord of the worlds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Verily would
that thou bear my sin and thine own sin, and then thou become of the
fellows of the Fire; that is the meed of the wrong-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Then his soul
made the slaying of his brother agreeable to him, so he slew him,
and he became of the losers. |
