Satan's plan is (but)
to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling,
and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will
you not then abstain? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 92. |
Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger,
and beware (of evil):
if you do turn back, know you that it is Our Messenger's duty to proclaim
(the Message)
in the clearest manner. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 93. |
On those who believe and do deeds of
righteousness there is no blame for what they ate (in
the past), when they guard themselves
from evil, and believe, and do deeds of righteousness - (or)
again, guard themselves from evil and do good. For Allah loves those
who do good. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 94. |
O you who believe! Allah does but make
a trial of you in a little matter of game well within reach of your
hands and your lances, that He may test who fears Him unseen; any
who transgress thereafter, will have a grievous penalty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 95. |
O you who believe! kill not game while
in the Sacred Precincts or in pilgrim garb. If any of you does so
intentionally, the compensation is an offering, brought to the Ka'bah,
of a domestic animal equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged
by two just men among you; or by way of atonement, the feeding of
the indigent; or its equivalent in fasts; that he may taste of the
penalty of his deed. Allah forgives what is past: for repetition Allah
will exact from him the penalty: for Allah is Exalted, and Lord of
Retribution. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 96. |
Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game
and its use for food - for the benefit of yourselves and those who
travel; but forbidden is the pursuit of land-game - as long as you
are in the Sacred Precincts or in pilgrim garb. And fear Allah, to
whom you shall be gathered back. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 97. |
Allah made the Ka'bah, the Sacred House,
an asylum of security for men, as also the Sacred Months, the animals
for offerings, and the garlands that mark them: that you may know
that Allah has knowledge of what is in the heavens and on earth and
that Allah is well acquainted with all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 98. |
Know you that Allah is strict in punishment
and that Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 99. |
The Messenger's duty is but to proclaim
(the Message).
But Allah knows all that you reveal and you conceal. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 100. |
Say: "Not equal are things that
are bad and things that are good, even though the abundance of the
bad may dazzle you; so fear Allah, O you that understand; that
(so)
you may prosper." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
101. |
O you who believe! ask not questions
about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But
if you ask about things when the Qur-an is being revealed, they will
be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Forbearing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 102. |
Some people before you did ask such
questions, and on that account lost their faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 103. |
It was not Allah Who instituted
(superstitions like those of)
free pasture, or idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels
freed from work: it is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah;
but most of them lack wisdom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
104. |
When it is said to them: "Come
to what Allah has revealed; come to the Messenger": they say:
"Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following."
What! even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
105. |
O you who believe! guard your own souls:
if you follow (right)
guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who stray. The goal of
you all is to Allah: it is He that will show you the truth of all
that you do. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 106. |
O you who believe! when death approaches
any of you, (take)
witnesses among yourselves when making bequests - two just men of
your own (brotherhood)
or others from outside if you are journeying through the earth, and
the chance of death befalls you
(thus). If you doubt
(their truth),
detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We
wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary)
be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah:
if we do then behold! the sin be upon us!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 107. |
But if it gets known that these two
were guilty of the sin (of perjury),
let two others stand forth in their places - nearest in kin from among
those who claim a lawful right: let them swear by Allah; "We
affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that
we have not trespassed (beyond
the truth): if we did, behold!
the wrong be upon us!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 108. |
That is most suitable: that they may
give the evidence in its true nature and shape, or else they would
fear that other oaths would be taken after their oaths. But fear Allah,
and listen (to His counsel):
for Allah guides not a rebellious people. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 109. |
One day will Allah gather the Messengers
together, and ask: "What was the response you received (from
men to your teaching)?” They
will say: "We have no knowledge: it is you who know in full all
that is hidden." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 110. |
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus
the son of Mary! recount my favor to you and to your mother. Behold!
I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you did speak to
the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught you the
Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And behold! you make out
of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and you breath
into it, and it becomes a bird by My leave, and you heal those born
blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! you bring forth the
dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel
from (violence to)
you when you did show them the Clear Signs, and the unbelievers among
them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’ |
|
|
|
|
|
| 111. |
"And behold! I inspired the Disciples
to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger; they said, ‘We have faith,
and do you bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims'." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 112. |
Behold! the disciples said: "O
Jesus the son of Mary! can your Lord send down to us a table set
(with viands)
from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if you have faith." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 113. |
They said: "We only wish to eat
thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that you have indeed told
us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 114. |
Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O
Allah our Lord! send us from heaven a table set (with
viands), that there may be for
us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a Sign
from You; and provide for our sustenance, for You are the best Sustainer
(of our needs)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 115. |
Allah said: "I will send it down
unto you; but if any of you after that resists faith, I will punish
him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all
the peoples." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 116. |
And behold! Allah will say: "O
Jesus the son of Mary! did you say unto men, ‘worship me and my mother
as gods in derogation of Allah’?” He will say: "Glory to You!
never could I say what I had no right (to
say). Had I said such a thing,
You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though
I know not what is in Your. For You know in full all that is hidden. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 117. |
"Never said I to them aught except
what You did command me to say, to wit, ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and
your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them;
when You did take me up you were the Watcher over them, and You are
a Witness to all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 118. |
"If You do punish them, they are
Your servants: if You do forgive them, You are the Exalted in power,
the Wise." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 119. |
Allah will say: "This is a day
on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens,
with rivers flowing beneath - their eternal home: Allah well-pleased
with them, and they with Allah: that is the great Salvation
(the fulfillment of all desires). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 120. |
To Allah does belong the dominion of
the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, and it is He who
has power over all things. |
