5. Surah Al-Ma"idah (The Table Spread with Food)


1-30 | 31-60 | 61-90 | 91-120

91. Satan seeks only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from (His) worship. Will you then have done?
92. Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and beware! But if you turn away, then know that the duty of Our messenger is only plain conveyance (of the message).
93. There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe and do good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be mindful of your duty (to Allah), and do good works; and again: be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. Allah loves the good.
94. O you who believe! Allah will surely try you somewhat (in the matter) of the game which you take with your hands and your spears, that Allah may know him who fears Him in secret. Whoso transgresses after this, for him there is a painful doom.
95. O you who believe! Kill no wild game while you are on the pilgrimage. Whoso of you kills it of set purpose he shall pay its forfeit in the equivalent of that which he has killed, of domestic animals, the judge to be two men among you known for justice; (the forfeit) to be brought as an offering to the Ka'bah; or, for expiation, he shall feed poor persons, or the equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the evil consequences of his deed. Allah forgives whatever (of this kind) may have happened in the past, but whoso relapses, Allah will take retribution from him. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).
96. To hunt and to eat the fish of the sea is made lawful for you, a provision for you and for seafarers; but to hunt on land is forbidden you so long as you are on the pilgrimage. Be mindful of your duty to Allah, unto Whom you will be gathered.
97. Allah has appointed the Ka'bah, the Sacred House, a standard for mankind, and the Sacred Month and the offerings and the garlands. That is so that you may know that Allah knows whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and that Allah is Knower of all things.
98. Know that Allah is severe in punishment, but that Allah (also) is Forgiving, Merciful.
99. The duty of the messenger is only to convey (the message). Allah knows what you proclaim and what you hide.
100. Say: The evil, and the good are not alike even though the plenty of the evil attract you. So be mindful of your duty to Allah, O men of understanding, that you may succeed.
101. O you who believe! Ask not of things which, if they were made known unto you, would trouble you; but if you ask of them when the Qur-an is being revealed, they will be made known unto you. Allah pardons this, for Allah is Forgiving, Clement.
102. A folk before you asked (for such disclosures) and then disbelieved there in.
103. Allah has not appointed anything in the nature of a Bahirah or a Saibah or a Wasilah or a Hami, but those who disbelieve invent a lie against Allah. Most of them have no sense.
104. And when it is said unto them: Come unto that which Allah has revealed and unto the messenger, they say: Enough for us is that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers had no knowledge whatsoever, and no guidance?
105. O you who believe! You have charge of your own souls. He who errs cannot injure you if you are rightly guided. Unto Allah you will all return; and then He will inform you of what you used to do.
106. O you who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draws nigh unto one of you, at the time of bequest two witnesses, just men from among you, or two others from another tribe, in case you are campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. You shall empanel them both after the prayer, and, if you doubt, they shall be made to swear by Allah (saying): We will not take a bribe, even though it were (on behalf of) a near kinsman nor will we hide the testimony of Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful.
107. But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit (the suspicion of) sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear by Allah, (saying): Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed (the bounds of duty), for then indeed we should be of the evil-doers.
108. Thus it is more likely that they will hear true witness or fear that after their oath the oath (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of your duty (to Allah) and hearken. Allah guides not the froward folk.
109. In the day when Allah gathers together the messengers, and says: What was your response (from mankind)? they say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only You are the Knower of Things Hidden.
110. When Allah says: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favor unto you and unto your mother; how I strengthened you with the holy Spirit, so that you speak unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught you the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how you did shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and did blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and you did heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how you didst raise the dead, by My permission and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) you when you came unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic;
111. And when I inspired the disciples, (saying): Believe in Me and in My messenger, they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have surrendered (unto You).
112. When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is your Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven? He said: Observe your duty to Allah, if you are true believers.
113. (They said:) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that you have spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses.
114. Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for Us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from You. Give us sustenance, for You are the Best of Sustainers.
115. Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieves of you afterward, him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I have not punished any of (My) creatures.
116. And when Allah says: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst you say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he says: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then You knew it. You know what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Your mind. Lo! Thou, only You are the Knower of Things Hidden.
117. I spoke unto them only that which You commanded me, (saying) : Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when You took me You wast the Watcher over them. You are Witness over all things.
118. If You punish them, lo! they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them (lo! they are Your slaves). Lo! Thou, only You are the Mighty, the Wise.
119. Allah says: This is a day in which their truthfulness profits the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph.
120. Unto Allah belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
