The still unrivaled Word of God, Al Koran - the Holy Reading. 


Since fourteen centuries ago this Book has offered up spiritual gifts from its 


glorious unfolding guidance, yet it still offers its invigorating presence 


to this materialistic world. 





A billion Muslims throughout the world in every country on earth believe in 


Al Koran. 





If you are a Muslim, there is an obligation upon you to study this Book and to 


study the life of your Prophet, Prophet Muhammad - the praise and peace be upon 


him - and to invite others to his religion, as the Koran says: 


"Say [Prophet Muhammad]: this is my Path, I call [others] to Allah 


with sure knowledge, I and whosever follows after me. 


To Allah be glory! And I am not among the idolaters." 


Chapter Joseph verse 108. 





In the West there are an ever increasing communities of Muslims who have 


been entrusted by Allah with a surplus of funds which should be used to invite 


westerners to Islam. It is unIslamic to waste and abandon this obligatory 


Islamic tradition. 





If the reader is not a Muslim, please overlook the failure of some Muslims who 


have not obeyed their Prophet to invite you to this religion. There is an 


obligation upon you to look for the truth from your Lord, and accept it. Allah 


has sent all His Prophets with their seal Prophet Muhammad to guide you to Him 


for your salvation, everlasting happiness and prosperity here and in the 


Hereafter. 





Scholars of Islam teach us that all mankind are the nation of Prophet Muhammad. 


Part of the nation accepted the Prophet whereas the other part is the object 


of the invitation of Islam by Muslim neighbors. 





"O mankind, We have created you 


male and female, and made you 


nations and tribes, that you may know 


one another. Indeed, the noblest 


among you in the sight of Allah is 


the most in piety. Allah is All-Knowing, 


All-Aware. [Chapter, Apartments verse 13]

Chapter The Cow 





The Cow [2] 


In the Name of the Merciful, the Compassionate Allah. 


1. Alif Lam Mim. 8 


The meaning of these letters is known to the Speaker, Allah 





2. That distinguishes its greatness and high rank 


is the Book which Prophet Muhammad recites, 


where there is no doubt it is from Me. 


A guidance to those who ward off evil and Hell. 9 





3. Who believe in the Unseen, 


and perform the five daily prayers, 


and spend of what We have provided them. 10 





4. Who believe in what has been sent down 


to you Prophet Muhammad and 


that has been sent down before you 


the Torah and the Gospel of Jesus and others, 


and are certain of the Everlasting life. 11 


5. Those are upon guidance from their Lord. 


Those are the winners of Paradise. 12 





6. As for the unbelievers, it is alike to them 


whether you Prophet Muhammad have warned them 


or have not warned them, they do not believe. 13 





7. Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing. 


And on their eyes is a covering. 


And for them is a mighty punishment. 14 





8. Some hypocritical people say, 


'We believe in Allah and the Last Day'; 


but they are not believers. 15 


9. They would try to deceive Allah and the believers, 


but they do not deceive except themselves, 


and they are not aware. 16 


10. In their hearts is a sickness, which is doubt and 


hypocrisy and Allah has increased their sickness, 


and for them is a painful punishment 


because they have been lying. 17 


11.When it is said to them, 


'Do not corrupt in the earth,' 


they say, 'Surely, we are only reformers.' 18 


12. Indeed, they are the corrupters but 


they are not aware. 19 


13. When it is said to them, 'Believe as 


the people the companions of the Prophet believe,' 


they say, 'Shall we believe, 


as the fools the ignorant believe?' 


Indeed, they are the foolish, 


but they do not know. 20 


14. When they meet those who believe, they say, 


'We believe'; but 


when they go privately to their satans their chiefs, 


they say, 'We are with you; we were only mocking.' 


21 


15. Allah shall mock them, and shall prolong them 


blindly wandering in their insolence. 22 


16. Those are they who have purchased error for 


guidance, 


neither their trade has profited them, 


nor they were guided. 23 





17. Their likeness is as the likeness of whoever 


kindled a fire in the dark, 


and when it lit all around him 


Allah took away their light, 


and left them in darkness unseeing. 24 


18. Deaf, dumb, blind - 


so they shall not return. 25 


19. Or their example is as a rain cloud out of heaven 


in which is darkness, thunder, and lightning. 


They put their fingers tips in their ears 


against the thunderclaps, cautious of death. 


And Allah encompasses the unbelievers. 26 


20. The lightning almost snatches away their sight. 


Whenever it lites flashes for them, they walk in it, 


and when the darkness is over them, 


they stand still. 


Had Allah willed, He could have taken away 


their hearing and their sight. 


Indeed, Allah is powerful over everything. 27 





21. O people, worship your Lord who created you 


and those before you; in order that 


you will ward off evil and Hell. 28 





22. Who has made the earth spread out for you. 


And heaven a construction, and 


sent down out of heaven water, 


with which He brought forth fruit 


for your provision; so do not set up rivals 


to Allah while you know He is the Creator. 29 





23. And if you are in doubt 


about what the Koran We have 


sent down to Our worshiper Prophet Muhammad, 


then bring a chapter surah like it, 


and call your witnesses who are your gods, 


besides Allah, if you are truthful 


that Muhammad brought it from himself. 30 


24. When they became incapable Allah said: 


If you do not - 


and you will not - then fear the Fire, 


whose fuel is people and stones statues. 


Prepared for the unbelievers. 31 


25. Give glad tidings Prophet Muhammad to those 


who believe and 


perform obligatory and voluntary good deeds, 


that for them are gardens 


underneath which rivers flow. 


Whenever they are provided with fruits 


there from they shall say, 


'This is what we were provided with before!' 


And they shall be given in resemblance. 


And for them shall be spouses purified 


from menstruation. 


They are eternal there. 


32 


26. In reply to the Jews' question it was revealed 


Allah is not shy to strike an example 


of a gnat, or that above it. 


As for the believers, 


they know it is the truth from their Lord. 


But as for unbelievers, they say, 


'What did Allah desire by this for an example?' 


By it, He leads many astray, and 


by it He guides many. 


And by it He leads none astray 


except the transgressors. 33 


27. Who break the covenant of Allah after 


its solemn binding, and who cut 


what Allah has commanded should be joined, and 


who corrupt in the earth. 


They shall be the losers. 34 


28. How do you disbelieve in Allah, 


and you were dead. 


Then He revived you, 


then He shall cause you to die, 


and then He shall revive you, 


then to Him you shall be returned for recompense? 


35 


29. It is He Who created for you 


all that is in the earth, then 


He willed to the heaven and 


leveled them seven heavens. 


And He has knowledge of everything 


in detail and entirety. 36 





30. And remember Prophet Muhammad when your Lord 


said to the angels, 


'I am putting in the earth a caliph 


to carry out My commands.' 


They said, 'Will You put therein he 


who will corrupt there, and shed blood, while 


we exalt with Your praise and sanctify You?' 


He said, 


'Surely I know what benefit you do not know.' 37 





31. And He taught Adam the names, all of them; 


then He presented them to the angels 


and said, 'Inform Me of the names of these, 


if you are truthful.' 38 


32. They said, 'Glory be to You!' 


We have no knowledge 


except what You have taught us. 


Surely You are the All-knowing, the All-wise.' 39 


33. He said, 'Adam, inform them of their names.' 


And when he had informed them of their names 


He said, 'Did I not tell you I know 


the unseen of the heavens and earth? 


And I know what you reveal, and 


what you were concealing.' 40 


34. And when We said to the angels, 


'Prostrate to Me 


towards the direction of Adam'; 


they prostrated, except 


iblis satan, the father of Jinn; 


he refused, and grew proud, 


and he became among the unbelievers 


as in the knowledge of Allah. 41 


35. And We said, 'Adam, dwell you, and 


your wife Hawwa, Eve, in the Garden, 


and eat of it with ease wherever you will; but 


do not come near to this tree the plant of wheat, 


lest you be harm-doers.' 42 


36. Then satan caused them to slip from it 


and brought them out 


from where the pleasure both were in. 


And We said, 'All of you get down, each 


of you an enemy to the other. 


And in the earth a residence for you, 


and an enjoyment for a time.' 43 


37. Then Adam received certain words 


of supplication Chapter 7 verse 23 


from his Lord, and He accepted repentance from him. 


Indeed He is the Receiver of repentance, and 


is All-compassionate. 44 


38. We said, 'Get down out of it, all together. 


So if guidance a book and a Messenger 


shall come to you from Me, 


whosoever follows My guidance, 


no fear shall be on them, 


neither shall they sorrow. 45 


39. As for those who disbelieve and belie Our verses, 


those shall be the companions of the Fire. 


They are eternal there.' 46 





40. Children of Israel sons of Jacob, 


remember My favor with which I favored you. 


And fulfill My covenant and 


I shall fulfill your covenant. 


And fear Me. 47 


41. Believe in what I have sent down Al Koran, 


confirming what is with you 


of My Oneness, and the Prophethood of Muhammad in the 


Torah, 


and do not be the first to disbelieve in it. 


And do not sell My verses for a little price. 


And fear Me. 48 


42. Do not cloak the truth with falsehood, and 


do not conceal the truth 


the description of Prophet Muhammad 


while you know he is true. 49 


43. And perform the prayer, and 


give the obligatory charity, and 


bow with those who bow Prophet Muhammad 


and his companions. 50 


44. Will you order others to righteousness, 


and forget yourselves while you recite the Book? 


Don't you understand? 51 


45. Seek help in patience and prayer. 


For it is heavy, except to the humble. 52 


46. who reckon that they shall meet their Lord 


and that to Him they are returning. 53 


47. Children of Israel, remember My favor 


with which I favored the ancestors of you, and 


that I have preferred the ancestors of you 


above the worlds of their time. 54 


48. And fear a day of Judgement when 


no soul for another will compensate, and 


no intercession shall be accepted from it, nor 


any equivalent ransom will be taken, 


neither shall they be helped. 55 





49. And remember when We saved you from 


the family supporters of Pharaoh 


who made you taste the evil punishment. 


Slaughtering your sons, and sparing your women. 


In that was a grievous trial from your Lord. 56 





50. And remember when We divided for you the sea 


and saved you, and drowned the family nation of 


Pharaoh while you were looking. 57 


51. And when We appointed with Moses 


forty nights to give him the Torah then 


you took to yourselves the calf for a god 


after him and you were harm-doers. 58 


52. Then We pardoned you after that, 


in order that you should be thankful. 59 


53. And when We gave to Moses the Book and the 


Criterion to differentiate between truth and falsehood, 


in order that you should be guided. 60 





54. And when Moses said to his nation 


those who worshipped the calf, 


'My nation, you have harmed yourselves 


by your taking the calf for a god; 


now repent from its worship to your Creator 


and let the innocent kill the guilty among yourselves. 


That will be better for you with your Creator, 


and He shall accept repentance from you. 


Indeed He is the Receiver of repentance, 


and is All-compassionate.' 61 


55. And when you said, 


'Moses, we will not believe you till 


we see Allah openly'; 


and the thunderbolt took you in death 


while you were looking. 62 


56. Then We raised revived you up 


after you were dead, in order that 


you should be thankful. 63 


57. And We outspread the cloud to 


overshadow you in the wilderness, 


and We sent down manna and quails upon you. 


'Eat of the good 


with which We have provided you and do not save it.' 


And they did not harm Us, but 


they harmed themselves by its saving. 64 


58. When We said, 


'Enter this village Jericho, 


and eat with ease of it wherever you will, 


and enter at the gate, prostrating, 


and say, Unburdening our sins; 


We will forgive you your mistakes. 


And We will increase the good-doers.' 65 


59. Then the harm-doers substituted 


a saying a grain in a hair-sack 


other than that had been said to them 


and entered shuffling on their buttocks; 


so We sent down on the harm-doers 


wrath plague out of heaven for that 


they use to transgress. 66 





60. And remember when 


Moses sought water by praying for his nation, 


We said, 'Strike with your rod the rock'. 


And from it gushed twelve springs. 


All the people tribes knew their drinking-place. 


'Eat and drink 


from the provision of Allah, and do not 


act mischievously in the earth, corrupting.' 67 


61. And when you said, 


Moses, we will not be patient with one sort of food; 


supplicate to your Lord for us, that 


He may bring forth for us 


of what the earth produces - 


green herbs, cucumbers, corn, lentils, onions.' 


He said, 'Would you exchange 


what is less in value for what is better? 


Get down to Egypt; 


indeed there is for you what you have asked.' 


Then abasement and poverty were pitched upon them, 


and they returned with the anger of Allah. 


That, because they had disbelieved the signs of Allah 


and killed the Prophets such as Zachariah and John 


without right. 





That, because they disobeyed, 


and were transgressors. 68 


62. Indeed those who believe, and 


those who became Jews, and the Christians, 


and the Sabians a sect of Jews and Christians, 


whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, and 


practices goodness - 


for them, their wage is with their Lord, 


and no fear shall be on them, neither 


shall they sorrow. 69 





63. And remember when 


We took covenant with you to practice the Torah, 


and raised above you the Mount: 


'Take what We have given you with force, and 


remember what is in it; in order that 


you shall ward off evil and Hell.' 70 


64. Then you turned away after that. 


And if it was not for the bounty and mercy of Allah 


towards you by postponing the punishment, you 


would have been among the destroyed losers. 


71 


65. And indeed you knew those among you who 


transgressed on the Sabbath by fishing, 


and We said to them, 


'Be apes, despised they died after three days!' 72 





66. And We made it an exemplary chastisement 


for all the former times and 


for the latter nations, and 


an exhortation to those who ward off evil. 73 





67. And remember when Moses said to his nation, 


'Allah commands you to slaughter a cow.' 


They said, 'Do you take us for mockery?' 


He said, 'I seek protection with Allah, 


lest I should be from the ignorant.' 74 


68. They said, 'Supplicate to your Lord for us, 


that He may clarify to us what age she may be.' 


He said, 'He says she is a cow neither old, 


nor virgin, middling between both. 


So do what you are ordered.' 75 


69. They said, 'Supplicate to your Lord for us, 


that He clarifies to us what is her color.' 


He said, 'He says she shall be a yellow cow, 


bright her color, pleasing the onlookers.' 76 


70. They said, 'Supplicate to your Lord for us, 


that He clarifies to us; what is she; 


cows look alike to us; and, 


if Allah will, we shall then be guided.' 77 


71. He said, 'He says she shall be a cow not broken 


to plow the earth or to water the tillage, 


one kept secure, with no blemish on her.' 


They said, 'Now you have brought the truth' 


they found the cow fitting the description belonging to a youth 


who was good to his mother, so they paid for it with an amount 


of gold that filled its hide. Although, had they slaughtered 


any cow at the beginning it would have sufficed. 


And so they slaughtered her, but they 


nearly did not do it because its price was high. 


78 


72. And remember when you killed a soul, and 


disputed it. 


And Allah disclosed what you were concealing. 79 


73. We said, 'Beat him with part of it'. 


Like this Allah revives the dead, and 


He shows you His signs to indicate His Ability, 


in order that you may understand. 80 


75. Then your hearts became hardened 


to receive the Truth after that 


so they are like stones, or even harder. 


Indeed among the stones are 


those from which rivers burst. 


And others split, so that water issues from them, 


and others crash down in fear of Allah. 


And Allah is not inattentive of what you do 


but He postpones His punishment. 


74. 81 


Are you O believers then so eager that 


they should believe you, and 


there was a party of them rabbis who heard 


the Word of Allah the Torah, and 


then tampered with it, 


after they had understood it, while they knew. 82 





76. And when they the Jewish hypocrites 


meet those who believe Prophet Muhammad, 


they say, 'We believe'; 


and when they go privately 


some say to the other their chiefs, 


'Do you speak to them of what Allah has 


revealed to you, in order that they may 


dispute you with it before your Lord? 


Don't you understand?' 83 


77. Don't they know that Allah knows what 


they keep secret and what they reveal? 84 


78. And some of them the Jews are common people - 


and do not know the Book the Torah, 


but only wishes and they are only doubters. 85 





79. So woe to those who write the Book with 


their hands, then say, 


'This is from Allah, 


so that they may sell it for a little price. 


So woe to them 


for what their hands have written. 


And woe to them 


for their bribed earnings. 86 


80. And they say, 


'The Fire shall not touch us except a number of days.' 


Say to them Prophet Muhammad, 


'Have you taken a covenant with Allah? 


Indeed Allah will not break His covenant. 


Or do you say about Allah 


what you do not know? 87 


81. Rather! 


Whoever earns evil disbelief, and 


is encompassed by his sin - 


those are the companions of the Fire. 


They are eternal there. 88 


82. And those who believe, and do good deeds - 


those are the companions of Paradise. 


They are eternal there.' 89 





83. And remember when We took covenant 


with the Children of Israel: 


'You shall not worship any except Allah; 


and be good to parents, near kinsman, 


orphans, and to the needy; 


and speak of goodness to people, 


perform the prayer, 


and give the obligatory charity.' 


Then you turned away, 


except a few of you, avoiding. 90 


84. And when We took covenant with you: 


'You shall not shed your own blood, 


neither expel yourselves from your homes'; 


then you confessed it and 


bore witness yourselves. 91 


85. Then there you are killing one another, 


and expelling a party of you from their homes, 


conspiring against them in sin and enmity; 


and if they come to you as captives, 


you ransom them; although 


their expulsion was forbidden for you. 


Do you believe in part 


of the Book which orders ransoming, 


and disbelieve in part 


which forbids killing and expulsion? 


What shall be the recompense of those of you 


who do that, but degradation in the worldly life. 


And on the Day of Resurrection to be returned 


to the most terrible of punishment! 


Allah is not inattentive of what you do. 92 


86. Those who have purchased the worldly life 


at the price of the Everlasting life. 


For them the punishment shall not be lightened, 


neither shall they be helped. 93 





87. And We gave to Moses the Book the Torah, 


and after him We sent succeeding Messengers. 


And We gave Jesus, son of Mary the clear signs 


miracles such as raising the dead, 


and supported him with Gabriel the Spirit of Purity. 


And whenever a Messenger came to you 


with what your souls had no desire for, 


you became proud, and you disbelieved some Jesus, 


and you killed some Zachariah and John? 94 


88. And they say to the Prophet in mockery, 


'Our hearts are covered.' 


Rather, Allah has cursed them 


for their unbelief; little will they believe. 95 


89. When a Book Al Koran came to them from Allah, 


confirming what was with them in the Torah 


- and before they openly prayed by the last Prophet 


for victory over the unbelievers - 


when that they had known Prophet Muhammad 


came to them, they disbelieved in him 


envying and fearing the loss of leadership. 


The curse of Allah is on the unbelievers. 


96 





90. Evil is that they have sold themselves for, 


disbelieving in what Allah sent down Al Koran, 


envious that Allah should send down of His bounty 


on whomsoever He will of His worshipers. 


And they return with anger upon anger from Allah. 


For the unbelievers is a humiliating punishment. 97 





91. When they were told, 'Believe in what 


Allah has sent down Al Koran,' they said, 


'We believe in what was sent down on us the Torah'; 


and they disbelieve in what is beyond that, 


yet it is the truth confirming what is with them. 


Say to them Prophet Muhammad, 


'Why then were you killing the Prophets of Allah 


before, if you were believers 


in the Torah that forbids you to kill them?' 98 


92. And indeed Moses came to you with 


the nine clear signs 


the staff, shining hand, 


flood, locusts, lice, frogs, blood, 


years of famine, and effacement, 


then you took to yourselves the calf for a god 


after him and you were harm-doers. 99 





93. And when We took covenant with you 


to practice the Torah, 


and raised over you the Mount: 


'Take with force what We have given you and listen.' 


They said, 'We hear, and disobey'. 





And they were made to drink the calf in 


their hearts for their unbelief. 


Say, 'Evil is your belief in the Torah that 


orders you to worship the calf, 


if you are believers!' 


100 


94. Say Prophet Muhammad, 


'If the Everlasting Home Paradise with Allah is 


especially for you without 


the other people as you claim, 


then long for death - if you are truthful.' 101 


95. But they will never long for it, 


because of what their hands have forwarded disbelieving 


the Prophet. 


Allah knows the harm-doers. 102 


96. And you shall find them 


the most eager of people for life, 


and more than those who disbelieve 


in the resurrection. 


each One of them wishes if he could live long, 


a thousand years. 


But it will not remove 


him from the punishment of Hell 


that he lives longer. 


And Allah is All-seeing of what they do. 


103 


97. Some Jews said that Gabriel the chief of the angels 


was their enemy and that if the Koran had come down with 


Michael they would believed it. 


Say Prophet Muhammad, 


'Whosoever is an enemy to Gabriel 


let him die of rage - 


indeed it is he who brought it Al Koran 


down on your heart by the permission of Allah, 


confirming what was before it in the Books, 


a guidance from error and 


glad tidings of Paradise to the believers. 104 


98. Whosoever is an enemy to Allah, His angels, 


His Messengers, Gabriel, and Michael - 


surely Allah is an enemy to the unbelievers.' 


105 


99. And We have sent down to you clear signs. 


And none disbelieves in them except 


the transgressors. 106 


100. Why, whenever they promised Allah a promise 


to believe the Prophet, 


does a party of them reject it? 


But most of them are unbelievers. 107 


101. When a Messenger Prophet Muhammad came to 


them from Allah confirming what was with them, 


a party of them who were given the Book 


rejected the belief in the Prophet mentioned in 


the Book of Allah the Torah behind their backs, 


as if they did not know. 108 


102. And they followed what the satans recited 


over the kingdom of Solomon. 


Solomon did not disbelieve by practicing magic, 


but the satans disbelieved, teaching 


the people magic, and what was sent down 


upon the two angels in Babylon, Harut and Marut. 


They did not teach anyone, until both had said, 


'We are only a trial from Allah; 


do not disbelieve.' 


but they insisted and From them they learned 


how they might separate the man and his wife. 


However, they did not hurt anyone with it, 


except by the permission of Allah. 


And they learned what hurt them in the Hereafter, 


and the magic did not benefit them. 


Indeed they the Jews knew whoever buys it 


shall have no share in the Everlasting life; 


evil was what they sold themselves for. 


If they had known. 109 


103. If they had believed in the Prophet and Al Koran, 


and warded off evil, 


a reward from Allah would have been better. 


If they had known. 110 


104. O believers, do not say, to the Prophet 


'Ra'ina, look after us which is swearing in Hebrew,' 


but say, 'Unthurna, look after us'; and listen. 


For the unbelievers a painful punishment. 111 





105. Neither those who disbelieved of the 


People of the Book the Christians and Jews nor 


the idolaters wish that any good the revelation 


should be sent down to you 


from your Lord through envy. 


But Allah singles out for His mercy Prophethood whom 


He will. 


Allah is of abounding bounty. 112 





106. When the unbelievers questioned the superseded verses 


it was said: 


Whenever We supersede the practice of a verse 


or make it forgotten, 


We bring a better verse, beneficial to the people. 


Or the like of it; don't you know that Allah 


is powerful over everything? 113 


107. Don't you know that to Allah belongs 


the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. 


And that you have none, besides Allah, 


neither protector nor helper from His punishment? 


114 


108. When the unbelievers of Mecca 'Makkah' asked that Allah 


should widen Mecca and turn one of the mountains into gold, it 


was revealed 


Or do you desire to question your Messenger 


as Moses was questioned before? 


Whosoever exchanges belief for unbelief has surely 


strayed from the right way. 115 


109. Many of the People of the Book wish they might 


turn you back as unbelievers, after 


you have believed, 


in jealousy of their evil souls, after 


the truth has been clarified in the Torah to them. 


So pardon and forgive, till 


Allah brings His command ordering the believers to fight. 


Indeed Allah is powerful over everything. 116 





110. And perform the prayer, and 


give the obligatory charity. 


Whatever good you shall forward to 


your souls account, you shall find it with Allah. 


Surely Allah is All-seeing of what you do and 


recompenses you. 117 





111. And they say, 'None shall enter Paradise except 


he who is a Jew or a Christian' 


They debated each other before 


the Prophet Muhammad. 


These are their wishes. 


Say, 'Produce your proof, 


if you are truthful. 118 


112. Rather! 


Whoever submits his will to Allah, 


being a good-doer unitarian, for him, 


his wage is with his Lord, and 


no fear shall be on them, neither 


shall they sorrow in the Hereafter. 119 


113. The Jews say, 'The Christians are not on anything 


significantly religious and reject Jesus'; 


the Christians say, 'The Jews are not on anything 


and rejected Moses'; although 


they recite the Book. 


And those disbelievers who do not know 


say like their saying. 


Then Allah shall decide between them 


on the Day of Resurrection 


in the religion that they were differing, 


the truthful shall enter Paradise but 


the untruthful shall enter Hell. 120 


114. And who does greater harm than he who prevents 


His Name to be remembered 


in the Mosques Masajid of Allah 


by prayer and exaltation, 


and strives to destroy them? 


Those should never enter them, except 


in fear of Jihad; 


For them is degradation in the world, 


and in the Everlasting life a mighty punishment.121 





115. When the Jews questioned the direction of prayer 


it was revealed 


To Allah belongs the East and the West. 


Wherever you turn your faces in prayer, 


there is the Face prayer direction of Allah. 


Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing. 122 


116. And they the Jews and Christians say, 


'Allah has taken to Him a son.' 


Exalted is He Allah! 


Rather, to Him belongs all that is 


in the heavens and the earth 


ownership, creation, worshipers, this dismisses 


both fathering and begetting a son. 


All are obedient to Him. 123 


117. The Creator of the heavens and the earth. 


And when He determines a thing to exist, 


He only says to it 'Be,' and it is. 


124 


118. And those disbelievers who do not know say, 


'Why doesn't Allah speak to us to tell us that 


you are His Messenger, or a sign come to us?' 


Likewise, those who were before them said 


similar to their saying. 


Their hearts are alike. 


Indeed, We have clarified the signs 


to a nation who are certain. 125 


119. We have sent you Prophet Muhammad with 


the truth guidance, giving glad tidings of Paradise, and 


warning of Hell for the disbelievers. 


You shall not be questioned 


about the companions of Hell Jahannam. 


126 


120. The Jews will never be satisfied with you, 


neither the Christians, till 


you follow their religion. 


Say Prophet Muhammad, 'The guidance of Allah 


the religion of submission - Islam is 


the real guidance.' 


If you follow their desires, after 


the knowledge of revelation that has come to you 


you shall have beside Allah neither 


protector nor helper. 127 


121. Those to whom We have given the Book 


and who recite it with its true recitation, 


they believe in it. 


And whoever disbelieves in it, 


they shall be the losers. 128 


122. Children of Israel, remember My favor 


with which I favored the ancestors of you, 


and that I have preferred the ancestors of you 


above the worlds of their time. 129 


123. And fear a day when no soul for another 


will compensate, and no equivalent will be accepted, 


neither intercession will benefit it, 


nor shall they be helped from the punishment. 


130 


124. And remember when Abraham was tested by his 


Lord with certain words ordering the pilgrimage to Mecca, 


and he fulfilled them. 


He said, 'Indeed, I am making you an Imam 


a leader as example in religion for the people.' 


He said, 'And of my descendants?' 


He said, ' The harm-doers shall not receive My covenant 


the Imamship.' 131 





125. And remember when We appointed the House 


Ka'bah to be a place of visitation 


for the people, and a sanctuary. 


And 'Take the standing place of Abraham 


where he stood on the stone to build Ka'bah 


for a prayer place.' 


And We made covenant with Abraham and Ishmael: 


'Purify My House for those who 


circumambulate around it and 


those who cleave to it, 


to those who bow and prostrate.' 132 


126. And when Abraham said, 'My Lord, make this 


country safe, and provide its inhabitants 


with fruits, whoever of them believes in 


Allah and the Last Day.' 


He Allah said, 'And also whosoever disbelieves, 


to him I shall give enjoyment for a little time, then 


I shall compel him to the punishment of the Fire. 


How evil an arrival!' 133 


127. And when Abraham, and Ishmael, 


raised up the foundations of the House: 


'Our Lord, accept from us its building. 


You are the All-hearing, the All-knowing. 134 





128. Our Lord, make us both submissive Muslims to 


You, and of our descendants a submissive nation to 


You; and show us our pilgrimage statutes, and 


accept repentance from us. 


Surely You are the Receiver of repentance, 


and All-compassionate 


both asked for the acceptance of repentance on behalf of their 


descendants as they themselves were protected from sin. 


135 


129. And, our Lord, send among them 


the inhabitants of this House a Messenger, 


from them so Allah answered his supplication 


by sending Prophet Muhammad, who shall recite 


to them Your verses, and 


teach them the Book Al Koran and 


the Wisdom Prophetic sayings, and purify them. 


You are the All-mighty, the All-wise.' 136 


130. And who has no desire for the religion of 


Abraham, 


except he who fooled himself? 


When he became ignorant that his self was created 


by Allah, and that it should worship Him. 


Indeed, We chose him Abraham in the world 


for the Message and sincere friendship. 


And in the Everlasting life he shall be 


among the good. 137 


131. When his Lord said to him, 'Submit,' 


he said, 'I have submitted 


to the Lord of the Worlds.' 138 


132. And Abraham charged his sons with it 


and Jacob likewise: 


'My sons, Allah has chosen 


for you the religion of submission - Islam; so 


do not die except being submissive Muslims.' 


139 


133. When the Jews said to the Prophet that when Jacob died 


he charged his sons with Judaism it was revealed 


Or, were you witnesses, 


when death came to Jacob? 


When he said to his sons, 


'Whom will you worship after me?' 


They said, 'We will worship your God 


and the God of your fathers 


Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, 


One God; 


to Him we are submissive Muslims.' 140 


134. That is a nation who passed away. 


For them what they have earned, 


and for you what you have earned. 


You shall not be questioned about 


what they were doing. 141 


135. And they say, 'Be Jews or Christians, 


you shall be guided.' 


Say Prophet Muhammad to them, 'No, rather we follow the 


creed of Abraham, being of true faith. 


He was not among the idolaters.' 142 


136. Say O believers, 'We believe in Allah, and 


in what has been sent down on us and 


sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, 


Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, 


and what was given to Moses, Jesus 


and the Prophets, from their Lord; we 


do not differentiate between any of them 


by believing some and disbelieving others like the Jews and 


Christians, and to Him we are submissive.' 143 





137. And if they believe in the like of that you 


believe in, then they are indeed guided. 


But if they turn away from the faith, then 


they are in clear dissension with you. 


Allah will suffice you Prophet Muhammad 


for them their dissension. 


He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing. 


144 


138. The Religious indelible marking 


of the believers of Allah. 


And who marks better than Allah? 


And for Him we are worshipers. 145 





139. The Jews said to the Muslims, 


'We are the people of the first Book and 


our prayer direction is the oldest and no 


prophet came to the Arabs, if Muhammad is 


a prophet he should be from us.' 


So it was revealed 


Say, 'Would you then dispute with us 


about Allah that He chose a Prophet 


from the Arabs, who is our Lord and your Lord? 


Our deeds belong to us, 


and your deeds belong to you; 


we are sincere to Him. 146 


140. Or do you say, "Abraham, Ishmael, 


Isaac and Jacob, and the tribes - 


they were Jews, or they were Christians?"' 


Say to them, 


'Have you then greater knowledge, or Allah? 


And who does greater evil than 


he the Jew who conceals a testimony received 


from Allah that Abraham was upright, sincere 


in the religion? 


And Allah is not inattentive of what you do.' 147 





141. That is a nation who passed away. 


For them what they have earned, 


and for you what you have earned. 


You shall not be questioned about 


what they were doing. 148 


142. The fools the ignorant among 


the Jews and unbelieving people will say, 


'What has turned them from 


the direction of Jerusalem 


they were facing in their prayers?' 


Say Prophet Muhammad, 


'To Allah belongs the East and the West 


and all directions, so He directs to any direction 


and no one can raise an objection. 


He guides whomsoever He will to His guidance which is a 


Straight Path Islam.' 149 





143. And We made you the nation of Prophet Muhammad 


a median nation in order that you 


be a witness above the people 


on the Day of Judgement that 


their Messengers delivered the Message, 


and that the Messenger be a witness above you 


that he delivered it to you. 


And We did not change the direction Mecca which you 


were facing into Jerusalem except that We might know 


who followed by believing the Messenger 


from him who turned disbelieving on his heels. 


Though it the redirecting was a hardship 


except for those whom Allah has guided. 


But Allah would never waste your faith. 


Indeed, Allah is All-gentle with 


the believing people, All-compassionate. 150 


144. We have seen you Prophet Muhammad turning 


your face about in the heaven looking for the revelation, 


anxious for the redirecting. 


Now We will surely turn you to 


a direction that shall satisfy you. 


Turn your face in prayer towards 


Ka'bah of the Holy Mosque. 


And wherever you are, turn your faces towards it. 


Those who have been given the Book know it is 


the truth from their Lord 


because the redirecting is among 


the descriptions of the Prophet in their Book. 


Allah is not inattentive of what they do. 151 


145. Even if you should bring to those who 


have been given the Book every sign, 


they will not follow your direction 


through resistance. 


And you are not a follower of their direction. 


Nor some of them will be the followers 


of the other's direction Jews and Christians. 


If you follow their desires, after 


the knowledge revelation 


that has come to you then you will surely be 


among the harm-doers. 152 


146. Those to whom We have given the Book, 


they recognize him Prophet Muhammad as they 


recognize their sons by his description in their Books. 


It was related by the Chief Rabbi Ben Shalom 


who embraced Islam during the time of Prophet Muhammad "I 


recognized him as soon as I saw him 


in the same way that I know my son, 


and even my knowledge of him is greater". 


Even though a party of them conceal 


the truth of his description while they know. 153 





147. The truth comes from your Lord. 


Then do not be among the doubters. 154 


148. And for everyone is a direction to which he turns. 


So race one another in goodness. 


Wherever you are, 


Allah will bring you all together 


on the Day of Judgement. 


Surely Allah is powerful over everything. 


155 


149. From wherever you emerge travelling, turn 


your face towards the Holy Mosque when you pray 


during the entire time of the obligatory prayer, 


as riding during such prayer is invalid, 


however the voluntary prayer need only start facing Mecca 


at its beginning when on a ride. 


It is the truth from your Lord. 


Allah is not inattentive of what you do. 156 


150. From whatever place you emerge, turn 


your face towards the Holy Mosque. 


And wherever you may be, turn your faces 


towards it, that the people Jews and Christians may 


not have any argument against you, except 


the harm-doers of them; and do not fear them, 


but fear Me; 


and that I may perfect My favor upon you, 


and in order that you may be guided to the truth. 


157 


151. As We have sent among you a Messenger Prophet 


Muhammad, upon whom is the blessing and peace, 


from you, to recite Our verses to you 


and to purify you, and to teach you 


the Book and the Wisdom Prophetic sayings, 


and to teach you 


what you do not know. 158 


152. So remember Me, I remember you; 


and be thankful to Me; and 


do not be ungrateful towards Me by sinning. 159 





153. O who believe, seek help in patience 


for obedience and prayer. 


Surely Allah is with the patient. 160 


154. And do not say of those killed in the way of Allah, 


'They are dead'. 


Rather they are living where their souls are 


in the stomachs of green birds, free in Paradise, 


but you are not aware of their condition. 161 





155. Surely We will test you with 


something of fear, hunger, and 


decrease of goods, lives and fruits. 


And give glad tidings of Paradise to 


the patient. 162 


156. Who when they are struck by an affliction, 


say, 'Surely we are owned and slaves for Allah, 


and to Him we return'. 163 


157. Upon those rest prayers and mercy from their 


Lord. And those, they are surely the guided. 


164 


158. The two mountains Safa and Marwa are 


among the religious marks of Allah. 


Whoever performs the Pilgrimage to the House, 


or the visit, no guilt shall be on him 


to circumambulate between both of them seven times. 


And whoever volunteers good, 


Allah is All-thankful by rewarding, 


All-knowing the deeds. 166 





159. Concerning the Jews it was revealed 


Those who conceal the clear verses and 


the guidance that We have sent down, after 


We have clarified them in the Book for 


the people they shall be cursed by 


being distant from the mercy of Allah 


and the cursers. 167 


160. Except those who repent, mend their deeds, 


and clarify the guidance they had concealed 


those I shall accept repentance from them. 


I am the Receiver of repentance, 


the All-compassionate for the believers. 167 


161. But those who disbelieve, and die disbelieving - 


upon them shall rest the curse of Allah, 


the angels, and of people altogether. 168 


162. In the Fire they are eternal there. 


Neither the punishment 


shall be lightened for them; nor 


respite to repent shall be given them. 169 





163. Your God is One God. 


There is no god except He, 


the All-merciful, the All-compassionate. 170 


164. Surely in the creation of 


the wonders of the heavens and the earth 


and the alternation of night and day 


increasing and decreasing and 


the ship that runs in the sea with 


what benefits the people, and 


the water Allah sends down from heaven 


to revive the earth with plants after its death 


and He strewed in it from each moving creation, and 


the turning about of the winds north and south, 


hot and cold and the clouds compelled 


to the order of Allah 


between heaven and earth - 


surely these are signs of His Oneness 


for a nation having understanding. 171 


165. And among the people are 


who take to themselves rivals instead of Allah, 


loving them as Allah is loved. 


But those who believe are more in love with Allah. 


When the harm-doers see 


- when they see the punishment - 


because the power altogether belongs to Allah, 


and that Allah is firm in punishment. 172 


166. When those leaders who were followed disown 


those who followed, and they see the punishment, 


and the relations are broken off. 173 


167. And those who followed say, 'If only we might 


return once to the worldly life and 


disown them, as they have disowned us!' 


Like this, Allah shall show them their deeds 


to be regrets for them! 


Never shall they emerge from the Fire. 174 


168. O people, eat of what is lawful and 


good in the earth; and 


do not follow the steps of satan. 


he is a clear enemy to you. 175 


169. he only commands you to evil and indecency, 


and that you say about Allah 


what you do not know. 176 


170. And when it is said to them, 


'Follow what Allah has sent down,' 


they say, 'But we will follow that which we found 


our fathers upon worshiping idols.' 


Even if their fathers did not understand anything, 


and they were not guided! 177 


171. The likeness of those who disbelieve is as 


the likeness of he a shepherd who 


calls to that animal which does not hear, 


except a shout and a voice. 


Deaf, dumb, blind 


they do not understand admonition. 178 


172. O believers, eat of the good 


with which We have provided you, and 


thank Allah, if it is He whom you worship. 179 





173. He has only forbidden you to eat: 


carrion, blood, the flesh of the pig, and 


what has been invoked when slaughtered to 


other than Allah. 


Although whosoever is compelled, not desiring 


nor transgressing, no sin shall be on him. 


Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. 180 





174. Those who conceal what Allah has sent down 


from the Book on them regarding Prophet Muhammad, 


and sell it for a little price they shall eat 


nothing but the Fire in their bellies; 


Allah shall not speak to them 


on the Day of Resurrection neither 


purify them; and for them is 


a painful punishment. 181 


175. Those are they who have purchased error 


for guidance here, and punishment 


for pardon in the Hereafter. 


How patient will they be in the Fire! 182 


176. That, because Allah has sent down the Book 


with the truth. 


And those who differ regarding the Book 


are in dissension which is far from the Truth. 


183 


177. It is not righteousness, that you turn your faces 


to the East and to the West. 


But righteousness is: 


to believe in Allah, and the Last Day, 


the angels, the Book, and the Prophets, 


to give wealth, however cherished, 


to kinsmen, and orphans, 


the needy, the destitute traveler, beggars, 


and to ransom the slave, 


to perform the prayer, 


to give the obligatory charity. 


And they who fulfill their promise 


when they have promised. 


And who are patient in misfortune poverty, 


hardship sickness and time of courage 


in the cause of Allah, 


these are they who are truthful in their faith. 


And surely these are those who ward off Hell. 


184 


178. O believers, written for you is 


retaliation, concerning the killed. 


A freeman for freeman, slave for slave, 


female for female the Prophetic way is not to kill a believer 


even if he was a slave for an unbeliever, 


even if he was a freeman. 


So he who is pardoned by his brother, 


let the ensuing be with kindness, and 


let the payment be with generosity. 


That is a lightening from your Lord, and a mercy. 


And for him who aggress after that 


for him is a painful punishment. 185 


179. For you in retaliation is life, 


O owners of minds; in order that you 


will ward off evil and Hell. 186 





180. Written for you, when death arrives to any of you, 


if he leaves behind goods, is the will 


for his parents and relatives with kindness. 


A right on those who ward off evil. 187 


181. Whosoever changes it the will after 


hearing it, the sin shall be upon 


those who change it. 


Surely Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. 188 


182. But whosoever fears injustice or 


sin from the testator, then 


reconciles between them the testator and heirs, 


then no sin shall be on him the testator after his death. 


Surely Allah is All-forgiving, 


All-compassionate. 189 





183. O believers, 


written for you is the Fast, as it was written 


for those who were before you in order that 


you will ward off evil by abstaining from 


the lower appetites. 190 


184. For counted days. 


And if any of you is sick, or 


on a journey sufficient to shorten the prayer, 


then a number of other days. 


And for those who are unable to fast 


the aged or the incurably sick, 


a redemption, which is feeding a needy man. 


Whosoever volunteers goodness it is good for him. 


And if you fast it is better for you 


than breaking and its redemption. 


If you know. 191 





185. The month of Ramadan, 


in which the Holy Reading Al Koran 


was sent down from the Protected Tablets to 


the lower heaven on the Night of Honor 'Al Qadr', 


a guidance to the people, and clear verses of 


Guidance and Criterion. 


So let those of you, who witness 


the month, fast it. 


And if any of you 


is sick, or on a journey, 


then a similar number of other days. 


Allah wants ease for you, and 


does not want hardship for you; 


and that you fulfill the number of days, and 


magnify Allah by repeating at the end of the month, 


Allah is the Greatest 


who has guided you, and in order that 


you will be thankful. 192 


186. And when My worshipers question you 


about Me - I am near. 


I answer the supplication of the caller, 


when he supplicates to Me. 


So let them respond to Me, 


and let them believe in Me; 


in order that they will be righteous. 193 


187. Permitted to you, upon the night of the Fast, 


is the approach to your wives. 


They are raiments for you, and 


you are raiments for them. 


Allah knows that you have been betraying yourselves, 


and has accepted your repentance 


and pardoned you. 


So now touch them, and 


seek what Allah has written for you. 


And eat and drink during the night, until 


the white thread becomes clear to you 


from the black thread at the dawn. 


Then complete the Fast from the dawn 


to sunset of the night. 


And do not touch them 


while you cleave to the Mosques. 


Those are the bounds of Allah; 


do not come near to them. 


So Allah clarifies His verses to the people; 


in order that they will ward off His bounds. 194 


188. And do not consume your wealth between you 


in falsehood; neither propose it 


to the judges, that you may sinfully 


consume a portion of the wealth of the people, 


while you know that you are wrong. 195 


189. They will question you about the crescents. 


Say, 'They are appointed times 


for the people, and the Pilgrimage.' 


It is not from righteousness 


to come to the houses from the backs of them; but 


righteousness is he who wards off sin. 


So come to the houses by their front doors. 


And fear Allah; in order that 


you will be winners of Paradise. 196 


190. And fight in the way of Allah to raise His religion 


with those who fight with you, and 


do not aggress. 


Indeed Allah does not love the aggressors. 


197 


191. And kill them wherever you find them, and 


expel them from where they expelled you. 


Dissension disbelief is greater than killing. 


But do not fight by the Holy Mosque unless 


they fight you there. 


Then, if they fight you, kill them. 


Like this killing and expelling is 


the recompense of unbelievers. 198 


192. But if they desist from disbelief and embrace Islam, 


surely Allah is All-forgiving, 


All-compassionate. 199 


193. Fight them, till there is no dissension disbelief 


and the religion the worship is for Allah. 


Then if they desist, there shall be no aggression 


except against the harm-doers. 200 


194. The holy month for the holy month; and 


prohibitions are subject to retaliation. 


Whosoever aggresses against you, 


so aggress against him 


like he has aggressed against you. 


And fear Allah in victory and abstain from transgression, and 


know that Allah is with those who ward off sin with help 


and victory. 201 


195. And spend in the way of Allah Jihad; 


and do not cast yourselves by your own hands 


by not spending into destruction 


as it strengthens the enemy. 


But be good-doers. 


Allah loves the good-doers. 202 


196. Fulfill the Pilgrimage and 


the Visitation for Allah. 


But if you are prevented by an enemy, then 


whatever offering a sheep as may be easy. 


And do not shave your heads, till 


the offering reaches its place of sacrifice. 


If any of you is sick, or 


injured in his head headache, or insects 


and so shaves 


then redemption by fast, or 


charity, or sacrifice a sheep. 


When you are safe from an enemy, 


then whosoever enjoys the Visitation 


until the Pilgrimage, let his offering 


be that which may be easy. 


Or if he finds none, then 


a fast of three days in the Pilgrimage, 


and seven when you return. 


That is a complete ten. 


That is for him whose family are not 


present at the Holy Mosque. 


And fear Allah, and know that 


Allah is firm inflicting the punishment 


on those who disobey Him. 203 


197. The Pilgrimage is in well-known months. 


Whosoever undertakes the Pilgrimage in them, 


there is no approaching women neither 


transgression nor disputing in the Pilgrimage. 


Whatever good you do, 


Allah knows it. 


And take provision; but 


the best provision is warding off. 


So fear Me, O owners of minds! 204 


198. No guilt shall be on you, that you should seek 


bounty provision from your Lord. 


But when you surge on from Arafat the mount where Adam 


was reunited with Eve, then 


remember Allah at the Holy Mountain of Mash'ar. 


And remember Him as He has guided you, though 


formerly you were among those who were astray. 


205 


199. Then surge from where the people surge. 


And ask Allah for forgiveness of your sin. 


Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. 206 


200. And when you have performed your 


pilgrimage statutes 


remember Allah, as you remember your fathers 


or more in remembrance. 





Some people say, 'Our Lord, 


give to us a share in the world'; 


they shall have no share 


in the Everlasting life. 207 


201. And some who say, 


'Our Lord, give to us 


a merit favor in the world, 


and good Paradise in the Everlasting life, 


and save us from 


the punishment of the Fire'. 208 


202. Those, they shall have a portion from 


what they have earned. 


And Allah is swift at reckoning. 209 





203. Remember Allah during counted days. 


Whoever hastens on in two days, 


no sin shall be on him. 


And if any delays, no sin shall be on him. 


For he who wards off evil. 


And fear Allah, and know that 


you shall be assembled to Him 


in the Hereafter to recompense your deeds. 210 


204. And among the people is he the hypocrite whose 


saying pleases you in the worldly life 


and will not please you in the Hereafter because it is different 


from his real faith 


and uses Allah as a witness for what is in his heart, 


but he is most stubborn in adversary. 211 


205. And when he turns away, he hastens about the 


earth, to corrupt there and 


to destroy the cultivation and the stock. 


And Allah does not love corruption. 212 


206. And when it is said to him, 


'Fear Allah,' 


egotism takes him in his sin. 


So Hell shall be enough for him. 


How evil a cradling! 213 





207. And among the people are those who 


sell by giving themselves 


desiring the pleasure of Allah. 


And Allah is Gentle 


with His worshipers. 214 


208. When some Jews embraced Islam and still wanted 


to observe the Sabbath, it was revealed 


O believers, all of you, enter the peace, 


and do not follow the steps of satan. 


He is a clear enemy to you. 215 


209. But if you slip, after the clear verses 


have come to you, know then that 


Allah is All-mighty, All-wise. 216 


210. What do they look for, 


but that the punishment of Allah shall come 


to them in the shadows of the clouds, 


and the angels? 


The matter their destruction is then decided. 


And to Allah all matters are returned. 217 


211. Ask the Children of Israel 


how many a clear sign We gave them. 


Whoever changes the favor of Allah 


after it has come to him, 


Allah is firm inflicting the punishment. 218 


212. The worldly life is decorated to the unbelievers, 


and they mock the believers for their poverty. 


But those who ward off sin 


shall be above them on the Resurrection Day. 


And Allah provides whomsoever He will 


without counting. 219 





213. The people were one nation; 


then Allah sent the Prophets, giving 


glad tidings of Paradise and 


warning who disbelieve with Hell. 


And He sent down with them 


the Book with the truth, 


that He might decide between the people 


in what they differ. 


And only those who had been given it 


were differing upon it, 


after the clear verses of Oneness had come to them, 


transgressing between themselves. 


Then Allah guided those who believed 


in that which they differed 


in the truth, by His permission. 


And Allah guides whomsoever He will to a 


Straight Path. 220 





214. Or did you suppose you should enter Paradise 


without there had come to you the like 


of those who passed away before you? 


They were touched by misfortune and adversity 


and were so shaken, that the Messenger 


and those who believed with him said 


looking for victory when the hardship 


had reached its' peak, 


'When will be the victory of Allah?' 


So they were answered by Allah. 


Is it not so, the victory of Allah is near! 221 





215. They will question you about what they should 


spend. Say, 'Whatever good you spend is for 


parents and kinsmen, orphans, 


the needy, and the destitute traveler. 


And whatever good you may do, 


Allah has knowledge of it.' 222 





216. Written, obligated for you is the offensive fighting 


the unbelievers, as for defensive fighting it is obvious, though 


it is hateful to you because it is hard. 


And you may hate a thing which is better for you. 


And you may love a thing which is evil for you because 


the self inclines to desires and resists the obligations 


that lead to happiness. Therefore in fighting there is 


good for you even when you hate it, the good of 


victory, spoils of war, martyrdom and reward. If you do 


not fight there is the evil of humiliation and no reward. 


Allah knows, and you do not know. 223 


217. They will question you Prophet Muhammad about 


the holy month, and fighting in it. 


Say, 'Fighting in it is a great offense. 


And blocking from the way of Allah His religion, and 


disbelief in Him, and the Holy Mosque, 


and to expel its inhabitants from it that 


is a greater sin with Allah. 


And dissension is greater than killing.' 


They will still fight with you, till 


they turn you from your religion, if they can. 


And whosoever of you turns from his religion, 


and dies disbelieving - 


their deeds have failed in the world 


and the Everlasting life. 


Those are the companions of the Fire. 


They are eternal there. 224 


218. But the believers, and those who migrate 


and struggle in the way of Allah raising His religion 


those have hope of the mercy of Allah. 


And Allah is All-forgiving, 


All-compassionate. 225 





219. They will question you about the rules regarding 


intoxicating drink, and gambling. 


Say, 'In both is a great sin, 


and benefits pleasure and fun for people, but 


their sin is greater than their benefits.' 


They will question you about 


what they should spend. 


Say, 'The remainder beyond one's need.' 


So Allah clarifies His verses to you; 


in order that you will reflect. 226 


220. In the affairs of the world, and 


the Everlasting life, so that you may work the best for 


yourself. 





They will question you about the orphans 


if the guardians eat their food it is wrong 


and if they cook separately from the orphan's wealth 


it is difficult. Say, 'Doing good for them 


nurturing their wealth is best.' 


And if you intermix with them, they are your brothers. 


Allah knows well the corrupter from the reformer. 


And had He willed He could have brought hardship 


upon you by forbidding the intermixing. 


Surely, Allah is All-mighty, All-wise. 227 





221. Do not marry idolatresses, until they believe. 


A believing female slave is better 


than an idolatress, though you may admire her. 


And do not marry idolaters, until they believe. 


A believing slave is better 


than an idolater, though you may admire him. 


Those, call to the Fire. 


And Allah calls to Paradise, and pardon, 


by His permission. 


And He clarifies His verses to the people; 


in order that they will remember. 228 





222. They will question you about menstruation. 


Say, 'It is an injury dirt; so 


stay away from women during menstruation, 


and do not approach them with intercourse till 


they are clean. 


When they have cleansed themselves, 


then come to them from where only the virgina 


Allah has commanded you.' 


Indeed, Allah loves those who repent, and 


He loves those who cleanse themselves. 


229 


223. Your women are a planting place for children for 


you; 


so come to your planting place the virgina 


as you wish. 


And forward for your souls. 


And fear Allah, and know that you shall meet Him. 


And give glad tidings to the believers. 230 


224. Do not make Allah a deterrent, through your 


oaths, that you be not righteous and ward off evil, 


and reform between people. 


Surely, Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. 231 


225. Allah will not take you to account for 


a slip in your unintentional oaths; but 


He will take you to account for what 


your hearts have earned. 


And Allah is All-forgiving, All-clement. 232 





226. For those who swear a wait 


of four months from their women 


abstaining from intercourse. 


If they revert, 


Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. 233 


227. But if they resolve on divorce, 


surely Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. 234 


228. Divorced women shall wait by themselves for 


three periods cycles. 


And it is not lawful for them to conceal what 


Allah has created in their wombs; 


if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. 


At that time their husbands have 


better right to restore them, if 


they desire reconciliation. 


And for women, there are rights for them similar 


to what is due from them with kindness. 


But their men have a degree above them. 


Allah is All-mighty, All-wise. 235 


229. Divorce is twice. 


Then retention with kindness or 


setting free with kindness. 


It is not lawful for you to take 


of what you have given them from the dowry unless both 


fear they may not maintain 


the bounds of Allah. 


If you fear they may not maintain the bounds of Allah, 


then no guilt shall be on both of them, 


concerning what she redeems herself with 


paying him to divorce her. 


Those are the bounds of Allah; so 


do not come near to them. 


Whoever transgresses the bounds of Allah - those 


are the harm-doers. 236 


230. If he divorces her for the third time, 


she shall not be lawful to him after that, until 


she marries another husband. 


If he the latter freely divorces her, 


then no guilt shall be on them to return 


to each other, if they reckon that they will 


maintain the bounds of Allah. 


Those are the bounds of Allah; 


He clarifies them to a nation who know. 


237 


231. When you divorce women, and 


they have reached their term, then 


retain them with kindness or 


set them free with kindness. 


Do not retain them by force, to transgress. 


Whoever does that has harmed himself. 


Do not take the verses of Allah in mockery. 


And remember the favor of Allah upon you Al Islam, 


and what He sent down to you 


from the Book and Wisdom, to exhort you. 


And fear Allah, and 


know that Allah has knowledge of everything. 


238 


232. When you divorce women, and 


they have reached their term, do not 


restrain them from marrying their husbands, 


when they have agreed together with kindness. 


That is an exhortation for whosoever of you believes in 


Allah and the Last Day. 


That is cleaner and purer for you. 


Allah knows, and you do not know. 239 


233. Mothers shall suckle their children 


two lunar years completely. 


For whoever desires to fulfill the suckling. 


It is for the father to provide them 


and clothe them with kindness. 


No soul is charged except to its capacity. 


A mother shall not be harmed for her child, neither 


a father for his child. 


And the obligation upon the heir is also like that. 


And upon the heir is like that obligation. 


If both desire to wean by mutual consent and 


consultation, then no guilt shall be on them. 


And if you desire a wet nurse for your children, 


then no guilt shall be on you 


if you hand over what you have given a fee 


with kindness. 


And fear Allah, and know that Allah 


is All-seeing of what you do. 240 


234. And those of you who die, leaving wives, 


they shall wait by themselves for 


four months and ten nights. 


When they have reached their term then 


no guilt shall be on you in what they may do 


with themselves beautifying and exposing themselves for 


engagement kindly. 


Allah is aware of what you do. 241 


235. No guilt shall be on you in 


the indication of an engagement to women 


whose husbands are deceased during their waiting period but 


not a direct proposal, or what you suppress in yourself 


your intention to marry them. 


Allah knows that you will remember them; 


but do not promise them secretly 


unless you speak kind words only of indication. 


And do not resolve on the knot of marriage until 


the writing has reached its term. 


And know that Allah knows what is in your hearts, so 


be cautious of Him. 


And know that Allah is 


All-forgiving, All-clement. 242 


236. No guilt shall be on you, if you divorce 


women as long as you have not touched them or 


obligated a right dowry for them. 


And provide for them, 


the wealthy according to his means, and 


the restricted according to his means, 


with kindness. 


A right on the good-doers. 243 


237. And if you divorce them before you have touched 


them, and you have already obligated for them 


a right dowry, then 


one-half of what you have obligated, unless 


they the women pardon, or 


he pardons by leaving all for her 


in whose hand is the knot of marriage. 


And if you pardon it is nearer to warding off evil. 


Do not forget the generosity between each other. 


Surely Allah is All-seeing of what you do. 


244 


238. And preserve the five prayers during 


their appointed times, 


and the middle prayer 


either the afternoon, dawn, or noon prayer; 


and stand obedient to Allah. 245 


239. And if you fear, then pray on foot or riding. 


But when you are safe, then 


remember Allah, 


as He taught you what you did not know. 


246 


240. And those of you who die, leaving wives, 


let them make a will for their wives, 


provision for a year without expulsion. 


But if they leave, no guilt shall be on you 


in what they may do with themselves kindly. Allah is 


All-mighty, All-wise. 247 


241. Provision shall be for divorced women with 


kindness. 


A right on those who ward off evil. 248 


242. So Allah clarifies His verses for you; 


in order that you will understand. 249 





243. Haven't you seen those a nation of the Jews who 


went out from their homes because of the plague in their 


thousands cautious of death, so 


Allah said to them, 'Die!' 


Then He revived them after eight days 


in answer to the supplication of their Prophet. 


Indeed Allah is bounteous to 


the people, but most people are not thankful. 


250 





244. So fight in the way of Allah, and 


know that Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. 


251 


245. Who is he that will lend Allah by spending his wealth 


in His cause with a happy heart as a good loan, and He will 


multiply it for him many from ten to 


seven hundred multiples? 


Allah grasps, and outspreads provisions. 


And to Him you shall be returned. 252 





246. Haven't you seen the congregation 


of the Children of Israel, after 


the death of Moses, when 


they said to a Prophet of theirs, 


'Raise up for us a king, and 


we will fight with him in the way of Allah.' 


He said, 'Might it be, 


if fighting is written for you, 


you will not fight?' 


They said, 'Why shouldn't we fight in the way of Allah, 


indeed we have been expelled from our homes 


and our children by Goliath?' 


Yet when fighting was written for them, 


they cowardly turned away except 


a few of them who crossed the river. 


And Allah has knowledge of the harm-doers. 


253 


247. Then their Prophet said to them, 


'Surely, Allah has sent Saul Taloot for you as king.' 


They said, 'Why is it, that he has the kingship over us, 


while we have a better right to kingship than him 


as he was neither from the tribe of kings, nor 


a descendant of a prophet, nor a dyer, nor a shepherd, 


and he has not been given opulent wealth?'. 


He said, 'Allah has chosen him over you, and 


has increased him with amplitude in knowledge and 


body he was the most knowledgeable and handsome of 


Children of Israel of that time. 


Allah gives the kingship to whom He will. 


And Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing.' 


254 


248. And their Prophet said to them, 


'The sign of his kingship is that 


the Ark will come to you, 


in it is tranquillity from your Lord, and 


a remnant of what the family of Moses and 


the family of Aaron left behind 


it contained the sandals of Moses, his staff, 


the turban of Aaron and the broken Tablets 


the angels bearing it. 


Surely in that shall be a sign for you, if 


you are believers.' 255 


249. And when Saul went with the soldiers 


he said, 'Allah will test you with a river. 


Whoever drinks from it is not of me, 


and whoever does not taste it, 


he is of me, except 


he who scoops up once with his hand.' 


But they drank from it, except a few of them. 


And when he crossed it, and those 


who believed with him, said, 


'We have no power today against 


Goliath Jaloot and his soldiers.' 


Those who reckoned they should meet Allah, said, 


'How often a little band has overcome 


a band of many, by the permission of Allah! 


And Allah is with the patient.' 


256 


250. So, when they appeared to Goliath and his 


soldiers, they said, 'Our Lord, pour upon us patience, 


and make our feet firm, 


and give us victory against the nation, 


the unbelievers!' 257 


251. And they defeated them, by the permission of 


Allah. And David Dawood killed Goliath. 


And Allah gave him the kingship, and 


Wisdom the Prophethood after the death of Saul, and He 


taught him whatever He willed. 


If Allah had not pushed the people, 


some by the other, 


the earth would surely have been corrupted 


by the overcoming of the unbelievers, 


killing Muslims and destroying the Mosques; 


but Allah is bounteous to the worlds. 258 


252. And it was revealed in answer to the rejection of 


the unbelievers 


These are the verses of Allah We recite to you 


Prophet Muhammad in truth. 


And surely you are from the Messengers. 


259 


253. And of those Messengers, some 


We have preferred above others. 


Among them are those to whom Allah spoke 


such as Moses. 


And some He raised Prophet Muhammad in rank 


by giving to him the Final Message for all humanity 


and He made him the Seal of the Prophets and gave him 


numerous miracles and favors his followers 


of all races above all nations. 


And We gave Jesus, son of Mary the clear signs, 


and supported him with Gabriel the Spirit of Purity. 


And had Allah willed, those who came after him 


would not have fought one against the other 


after the clear verses had come to them; 


but they differed. 


Some of them believed by remaining in the pure faith, and 


some disbelieved like the Christians after Christ 


when they fabricated the trinity. 


And had Allah willed 


they would not have fought one against the other; 


but Allah does whatever He wants. 260 


254. O believers, spend charity of what 


We have provided you, before a day in which 


there shall be neither trade, 


nor friendship that benefits, 


nor intercession without His permission. 


And the unbelievers - they are the harm-doers. 


261 


255. Allah, 


there is no god except He 


truly worshipped in the existence. 


The Living His Life and Existence is Eternal, 


the Everlasting the Perpetual, the Cherisher for the affairs of 


His creation. 


Neither dozing nor sleep overtakes Him. 


To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth 


both by creation and Ownership. 


Who is he that shall intercede with Him 


except by His permission? No one. 


He knows what creation will be before their hands and 


what was behind them here and in the Hereafter. 


And they do not comprehend anything of 


His knowledge except 


what He willed to teach them through the Messengers. 


His Seat surrounds the heavens and earth. 


The preserving of them does not tire Him. 


He is the All-high above His creation by His conquering, 


the All-glorious. 262 


256. There is no compulsion to enter in religion. 


Righteousness faith has become clear from 


error disbelief. 


So whoever disbelieves in the idol satan 


and believes in Allah, has grasped 


the firmest tie, there is no splitting of it. 


Allah is All-hearing, All-knowing. 263 


257. Allah is the Protector of the believers; 


He brings them out from the darkness of disbelief 


into the light of faith. 


And the unbelievers - their protectors are idols, 


they bring them out from the light 


into the darkness. 


Those are the companions of the Fire. 


They are eternal there. 264 





258. Haven't you seen him who disputed with 


Abraham, about his Lord, 


that Allah had given him the kingship? 


When Abraham said, 


'My Lord is He who revives, and causes to die,' 


He said, 'I revive by sparing a guilty man! and 


cause to die by killing the innocent man!' 


Abraham said, 'Allah brings the sun from the East; so 


you bring it from the West.' 


Then the unbeliever became pale. 


Allah does not guide the nation, 


the harm-doers. 265 





259. Or have you seen he who passed riding on a 


donkey by a village Jerusalem that was fallen on its 


roofs; he said, 'How shall Allah revive this 


after its death?' 


So Allah caused him to die 


a hundred years, then He resurrected him, saying. 


'How long have you remained?' 


He said, 


'I have remained a day, or part of a day.' 


He said, 'But; you have remained a hundred years. 


Look at your food and drink - it has not changed. 


And look at your donkey and he saw it dead. 


So We would make you a sign 


for the resurrection for the people. 


And look at the bones of your donkey, 


how We shall revive them, and then 


clothe them with flesh.' 


So, when it was clarified to him by his witnessing, 


he said, 


'I know that Allah is powerful over everything.' 


266 


260. And remember when Abraham said, 


'My Lord, show me how You revive the dead'. 


He said, 'Haven't you believed?' 


He said, 'Rather, 


in order that my heart may be satisfied.' 


He said, 'Take four birds, so draw them to you 


carve and mix them together, then 


set a part of them on every hill, then 


call them, and they will come to you hastening. 


And know that Allah is All-mighty, All-wise 


so he took a Peacock, an Eagle, a Crow, and a Rooster and 


followed the instructions 


keeping only their heads in his hand. 


When he called them all the parts flew to join each other until 


they were whole, then they came to their heads.' 


267 


261. The likeness of those who spend their wealth 


in the way of Allah His obedience is as 


the likeness of a grain of corn that sprouts seven ears, 


in every ear a hundred grains. 


So Allah multiplies to whom He will. 


Allah is All-embracing, All-Knowing. 268 


262. Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah 


then do not follow up what they have spent with 


reproach and hurt their wage for them is with their Lord, 


and no fear shall be on them, neither 


shall they sorrow. 269 


263. Kind words, and forgiveness, are better than 


charity followed by hurt. 


And Allah is All-sufficient, All-clement. 270 


264. O believers, do not annul your charity with 


reproach and hurt, as he the hypocrite who spends 


his wealth to show off to people and 


does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. 


The likeness of him is as the likeness 


of a smooth rock on which is dust, 


and heavy rain strikes it, and leaves it bare. 


They have no power over what they have earned. 


Allah does not guide the nation, 


the unbelievers. 271 


265. But the likeness of those who spend their wealth, 


seeking the pleasure of Allah, 


and a realization from themselves, 


is as the likeness of a garden upon a hill; 


heavy rain strikes it and it yields its produce twofold. 


If heavy rain does not strike it, 


then light rain will and it still produces. 


And Allah is All-seeing of what you do. 272 


266. Would any of you wish to have a garden 


of palm trees and grapes vines, 


with rivers flowing beneath it, 


and all kinds of fruit there for him, then 


old age strikes him, and he has weak offspring, so 


it the garden is stricken by fire within a whirlwind, 


so it is burned? 


So Allah clarifies the signs to you; 


in order that you will reflect. 273 


267. O believers, spend of the good you have earned, 


and of what We have produced for you from the earth. 


And do not intend the bad of it for 


your charitable spending; 


while you would never take it yourselves, except 


you closed an eye on it. 


And know that Allah is 


All-sufficient, All-laudable. 274 





268. satan promises you poverty, and 


orders you with indecency 


which is greed and the prohibition of charity. 


But Allah promises you for spending pardon and bounty 


the replacement of provision from Him. 


And Allah is All-embracing, All-knowing. 275 


269. He gives the wisdom the useful knowledge 


that leads to the practice of good to whomsoever He will. 


And whosoever is given the wisdom, has been 


given a lot of good as his return is to 


eternal happiness. 


Yet none remembers except 


the owners of minds. 276 


270. And whatever expenditure you spend, and 


whatever 


vow you vow, surely Allah knows it. 


The harm-doers by the prevention of charity and vows 


have no helpers. 277 


271. If you reveal your obligatory charity, it is good. 


But if you hide it the voluntary charity, and 


give it to the poor, that is better for you. 


And will acquit you of your evil deeds. 


Allah is aware of what you do. 278 


272. You Prophet Muhammad are not responsible for 


guiding them; 


but Allah guides whomsoever He will. 


And whatever good you spend is for yourselves because 


its reward is for you. 


And do not spend except desiring the Face of Allah. 


And whatever good you spend shall be 


repaid to you in full, and 


you will not be harmed. 279 


273. charity is For the poor who are restrained 


in the way of Allah, and 


are unable to journey in the land. 


The ignorant thinks them rich because 


of their abstinence. 


But you shall know them by their signs. 


They do not beg the people persistently. 


And whatever good you spend, surely 


Allah has knowledge of it. 280 


274. Those who spend their wealth night and day, 


secretly and in public, for them, 


their wage is with their Lord, and 


no fear shall be on them, 


neither shall they sorrow. 281 


275. Those who eat take usury shall not 


rise from the tomb except 


as he who rises, in madness 


that satan has touched thrown down. 


That is because they say, 


'Selling trade is like usury in permission.' 


Allah has permitted selling, and 


forbidden usury. 


To whomsoever an exhortation 


comes from his Lord then he desists, 


he shall have his past gains, and 


his matter is with Allah. 


But whoever reverts - 


those are the companions of the Fire. 


They are eternal there. 282 


276. Allah effaces the blessing and reduces usury, and 


He nurtures charity by increasing and 


multiplying the reward. 


Allah does not loves every ungrateful sinner. 


283 


277. Those who believe and do good deeds, and 


perform the prayer, and 


give the obligatory charity - 


for them, their wage is with their Lord, and 


no fear shall be on them, neither 


shall they sorrow. 284 


278. O believers, fear Allah; and 


give up what remains of the usury, 


if you are believers. 285 


279. But if you do not, then take notice of war 


from Allah and His Messenger. 


Yet if you repent, you shall have 


the principal of your wealth. 


Neither you will harm by increase nor 


will you be harmed by decrease. 286 


280. And if he the debtor should be in hardship, then 


a postponement until ease. 


While if you give charity by writing it off it 


is better for you. 


If you know. 287 


281. And fear a day wherein you shall be returned to 


Allah. 


And every soul shall be paid in full 


what it has earned; 


and they shall not be harmed. 288 





282. O believers, when you get into a debt 


one upon another for a stated term, 


write it down. 


And let a writer write it down between you justly 


neither decrease or increase the time, or the amount. 


And the writer must not refuse to write it down, 


as Allah has taught him. 


So let him write. 


And let the debtor dictate, and 


let him fear Allah his Lord and 


do not decrease anything of it. 


And if the debtor be a fool, or weak, or unable 


to dictate himself, then 


let his guardian dictate justly. 


And call to witness two witnesses, of your men. 


If the two are not men, then 


a man and two women, 


from the witnesses whom you approve, 


that if one of the two women errs 


one of them will remind the other. 


And the witnesses must not refuse, whenever 


they are called upon. 


And do not be weary to write it down, 


whether it be small or great, with its term. 


That is more just with Allah, 


more helpful for testimony, and 


likelier that you will not be in doubt. 


Unless it is present merchandise that you 


circulate between you; 


then no guilt shall be on you 


if you do not write it down. 


And take witnesses when you are selling. 


And do not let either writer or witness be harmed. 


Or if you do, that is transgression in you. 


And fear Allah. 


Allah teaches you. 


And Allah has knowledge of everything. 289 


283. And if you are upon a journey and you get into 


debt, and you do not find a writer, 


then a received pledge. 


But if any of you trusts another and did not pledge, 


let him who is trusted deliver his trust, 


and let him fear Allah his Lord. 


And do not conceal the testimony. 


Whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful. 


And Allah has knowledge of what you do. 


290 


284. To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and 


earth. Whether you reveal what is in your hearts or hide 


it, Allah shall bring you to account for it. 


He will forgive whom He will, and 


punish whom He will; 


Allah is powerful over everything. 291 





285. The Messenger Muhammad son of Abdullah, 


descendant of 


Abraham believes in what was sent down to him from his 


Lord, 


and so do the believers. 


Each believes in Allah and His angels, 


and in His Books and His Messengers; 


they say we do not differentiate between 


any of His Messengers believing in some and not in others 


as the Jews and Christians. 





They the believers say, 'We hear, and obey. 


we ask Your forgiveness, our Lord; 


to You is the arrival.' 292 


286. Allah charges no soul except to its capacity. 


For it of good and its reward is what it has earned, 


and against it of evil what it has gained. 





Say Our Lord, 


do not take us to account 


if we have forgotten, or made a mistake. 


Our Lord, 


do not burden us with a load 


as You have burdened those before us. 


Our Lord, 


do not over burden us 


more than we can bear. 


And pardon us, 


and forgive us, 


and have mercy on us. 


You are our Protector, 


so give us victory over 


the nation, the unbelievers
