| reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered like seeds countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual rights , and reverence the wombs That bore you : for Allah ever watches over you | If they had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them direct |
|---|---|
| Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help! And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs | Say: Allah directs thus about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs |
Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate.
20| Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: far exalted is He above having a son | And let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with thee, Taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the Unbelievers wish, if ye were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you in a single rush |
|---|---|
| And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful | Follow not the lusts of your hearts , lest ye swerve, and if ye distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do |
If the guardian is well-off, Let him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable.
27| If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and instead send you Guarantees of peace, then Allah Hath opened no way for you to war against them | When at length the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! Unto all in Faith Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward,- When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what plight Were ye? As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them first , Next , refuse to share their beds, And last beat them lightly ; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means of annoyance : For Allah is Most High, great above you all |
|---|---|
| Thus is it ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Most Forbearing | They have incurred divine displeasure : In that they broke their covenant; that they rejected the signs of Allah; that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right; that they said, "Our hearts are the wrappings which preserve Allah's Word; We need no more ";- Nay, Allah hath set the seal on their hearts for their blasphemy, and little is it they believe;- That they said in boast , "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no certain knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what hath been revealed to thee and what was revealed before thee: And especially those who establish regular prayer and practise regular charity and believe in Allah and in the Last Day: To them shall We soon give a great reward |
Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.
