Sura 3. - Imranova obitelj (Al-Imran)

CHAPTER 3 THE FAMILY OF IMRAN
ĀL ʿIMRĀN ( آل عمران )
200 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that mentions that God has chosen The Family of Imran to inherit prophethood above the people of all the world (Imran was a common ancestor of Moses and Jesus). It takes its name from the expression “the House of ʿImrān” (āl-i ʿImrān) mentioned in . It begins by emphasizing that the Quran confirms the earlier scriptures and goes on to say later that the central tenet of faith is devotion to God ( ff.). The story of Zachariah, Mary, and Jesus is given in  ff. and the fact that Jesus was unfathered, just as Adam was created without a father, is accentuated. Aspects of the battles of Badr (year 2/624) and Uḥud (year 3/625) are described, especially the latter, where most of the early Muslims disobeyed the Prophet Muḥammad and were defeated. The surah first introduce the tension that arose between the Muslims and certain of the Jews and Christians ( ff. and  ff.), then closes by emphasizing the unity of faith and conduct between the Muslims and some of these People of the Book, explaining that these will have their reward from God ().«

The surah is also known as: The Family of Imraan, The House of Imran, The Imrans.

Or ‘ambiguous.’

When Allah said, ‘O Jesus, I shall take you[r soul],1 and I shall raise you up toward Myself, and I shall clear you of [the calumnies of] the faithless, and I shall set those who follow you above the faithless until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me will be your return, whereat I will judge between you concerning that about which you used to differ.
Tawaffā means ‘to exact fully’ something, ‘to receive in full,’ ‘to take one’s full share,’ and in the present Qurʾānic context it is used in the sense of taking away of the soul, either temporarily, as during sleep (as in ), or permanently, as at the time of death (as in ; ; ; , ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; , ; ). In verse , it is used to refer to the taking of the soul both during sleep and death: ‘It is Allah who takes (yatawaffā) the souls at death, and those that have not died during their sleep. He retains those for whom He has decreed death, but releases the rest for a specified term.’ The passive form of the verb, tuwuffiya means ‘to die,’ ‘to expire,’ and to ‘pass away.’ It occurs in , . In a tradition, Imam ʿAlī ibn Mūsā al-Riḍā (ʿa) explains that Jesus Christ (ʿa) “was raised alive from the earth to the heaven. Then his soul was taken away between the earth and the heaven. After he was raised to the heaven his soul was restored to his body, and hence the words of God, the Almighty and the Glorious, ‘When Allah said: ‘O Jesus, I shall take you[r soul], and I shall raise you up to Myself…’ ” (ʿUyūn akhbār al-Riḍā, Tehran: Intishārāt-e Jahān, n.d., ed. Sayyid Mahdī al-Ḥusaynī al-Lājwardī, vol. 1, p. 215; cf. Biḥār al-anwār, vol. 14, p. 338).

‘And do not believe anyone except him who follows your religion.’ Say, ‘Indeed [true] guidance is the guidance of Allah.’ ‘[And do not believe] that anyone may be given the like of what you were given, or that he may argue with you before your Lord.’1 Say, ‘Indeed all grace is in Allah’s hand; He grants it to whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.
This is in accordance with  where the Jews are described as making a similar statement. Alternatively, it may be understood as being part of the reply the Prophet is asked to give to the Jews, in which case the translation will be as follows: ‘Say, “Indeed [true] guidance is the guidance of Allah, so that anyone may be given the like of what you were given, or that he may argue with you before your Lord.” ’

TRANSLATION
And among the People of the Book is he who if you entrust him with a quintal1 will repay it to you, and among them is he who, if you entrust him with a dinar will not repay it to you unless you stand persistently over him. That is because they say, ‘We have no obligation to the non-Jews.’ But they attribute lies to Allah, and they know [it].
Quintal: hundredweight. The American Heritage Dictionary gives the following history of the English ‘quintal’: Middle English, a unit of weight, from Old French, from Medieval Latin quintāle, from Arabic qinṭār, from Late Greek kentēnarion, from Late Latin centēnārium (pondus), hundred(weight), from Latin centēnārius, of a hundred.

There is indeed a group of them who twist their tongues to mimic the Book, that you may suppose that it is from the Book, though it is not from the Book, and they say, ‘It is from Allah,’ though it is not from Allah, and they attribute lies to Allah, and they know [it].

It does not behoove any human that Allah should give him the Book, judgement and prophethood, and then he should say to the people, ‘Be my servants instead of Allah.’ Rather [he would say], ‘Be a godly people, because of your teaching the Book and because of your studying it.’

When Allah took a compact concerning the prophets, [He said,] ‘Inasmuch as I have given you of the Book and wisdom,1 should an apostle come to you thereafter confirming what is with you, you shall believe in him and help him.’ He said, ‘Do you pledge and accept My covenant on this condition?’ They said, ‘We pledge.’ He said, ‘Then be witnesses, and I am also among the witnesses along with you.’
Or, in accordance with an alternate reading (with lammā, instead of lamā), ‘Since I have given you of the Book and wisdom,’ or ‘As I have given you …’

TRANSLATION
You are the best nation [ever] brought forth for mankind: you bid what is right and forbid what is wrong, and have faith in Allah. And if the People of the Book had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them [some] are faithful, but most of them are transgressors.

TRANSLATION
Abasement has been stamped upon them wherever they are confronted, except for an asylum from Allah and an asylum from the people; and they earned the wrath of Allah, and poverty was stamped upon them. That, because they would defy the signs of Allah and kill the prophets unjustly. That, because they would disobey and used to commit transgression.

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! Do not take your confidants from others than yourselves; they will spare nothing to ruin you. They are eager to see you in distress. Hatred has already shown itself from their mouths, and what their breasts hide [within] is yet worse. We have certainly made the signs clear for you, should you apply reason.

TRANSLATION
Ah! You are the ones who bear love towards them, while they do not love you, though you believe in all the Books; and when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they are alone, they bite their fingertips out of rage at you.

TRANSLATION
We shall cast terror into the hearts of the faithless because of their ascribing to Allah partners, for which He has not sent down any authority, and their refuge shall be the Fire, and evil is the [final] abode of the wrongdoers.

TRANSLATION
Allah certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were slaying them with His leave, until you lost courage, disputed about the matter, and disobeyed after He showed you what you loved.1 Some of you desire this world, and some of you desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them so that He might test you. Certainly He has excused you, for Allah is gracious to the faithful.
That is, the spoils of war.

TRANSLATION
When you were fleeing without paying any attention to anyone, while the Apostle was calling you from your rear, He requited you with grief upon grief, so that you may not grieve for what you lose nor for what befalls you, and Allah is well aware of what you do.

154

TRANSLATION
Then He sent down to you safety after grief —a drowsiness that came over a group of you— while another group, anxious only about themselves, entertained false notions about Allah, notions of [pagan] ignorance. They say, ‘Do we have any role in the matter?’ Say, ‘Indeed the matter belongs totally to Allah.’ They hide in their hearts what they do not disclose to you. They say, ‘Had we any role in the matter, we would not have been slain here.’ Say, ‘Even if you had remained in your houses, those destined to be slain would have set out toward the places where they were laid to rest, so that Allah may test what is in your breasts, and that He may purge what is in your hearts, and Allah knows best what is in the breasts.’

155

TRANSLATION
Those of you who fled on the day when the two hosts met, only Satan had made them stumble because of some of their deeds. Certainly Allah has excused them, for Allah is all-forgiving, all-forbearing.

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! Do not be like the faithless who say of their brethren, when they travel in the land or go into battle, ‘Had they stayed with us they would not have died or been killed,’ so that Allah may make it a regret in their hearts. But Allah gives life and brings death, and Allah sees best what you do.

157

TRANSLATION
It is by Allah’s mercy that you are gentle to them; and had you been harsh and hardhearted, surely they would have scattered from around you. So excuse them, and plead for forgiveness for them, and consult them in the affairs, and once you are resolved, put your trust in Allah. Indeed Allah loves those who trust in Him.

160

Allah certainly favoured the faithful when He raised up among them an apostle from among themselves to recite to them His signs and to purify them, and to teach them the Book and wisdom, and earlier they had indeed been in manifest error.

TRANSLATION
and ascertain the hypocrites. [When] they were told: ‘Come, fight in the way of Allah, or defend [yourselves], they said, ‘If we knew any fighting, surely we would have followed you.’ That day they were nearer to unfaith than to faith. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts, and Allah knows best whatever they conceal.

TRANSLATION
[To] those who say, ‘Allah has pledged us not to believe in any apostle unless he brings us an offering consumed by fire,’ say, ‘Apostles before me certainly brought you manifest signs and what you speak of. Then why did you kill them, should you be truthful?’

184
فَإِن كَذَّبوكَ فَقَد كُذِّبَ رُسُلٌ مِن قَبلِكَ جاءوا بِالبَيِّناتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَالكِتابِ المُنيرِ
TRANSLITERATION
fa-ʾin kadhdhabūka fa-qad kudhdhiba rusulun min qablika jāʾū bi-l-bayyināti wa-z-zuburi wa-l-kitābi l-munīri

TRANSLATION
But if they deny you, then before you [other] apostles have been denied, who came with manifest signs, holy writs, and an illuminating scripture.

185
كُلُّ نَفسٍ ذائِقَةُ المَوتِ ۗ وَإِنَّما تُوَفَّونَ أُجورَكُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۖ فَمَن زُحزِحَ عَنِ النّارِ وَأُدخِلَ الجَنَّةَ فَقَد فازَ ۗ وَمَا الحَياةُ الدُّنيا إِلّا مَتاعُ الغُرورِ

TRANSLATION
Every soul shall taste death, and you will indeed be paid your full rewards on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is delivered from the Fire and admitted to paradise has certainly succeeded. The life of this world is nothing but the wares of delusion.

186
۞ لَتُبلَوُنَّ في أَموالِكُم وَأَنفُسِكُم وَلَتَسمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ مِن قَبلِكُم وَمِنَ الَّذينَ أَشرَكوا أَذًى كَثيرًا ۚ وَإِن تَصبِروا وَتَتَّقوا فَإِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِن عَزمِ الأُمورِ

TRANSLATION
You will surely be tested in your possessions and your souls, and you will surely hear from those who were given the Book before you and from the polytheists much affront; but if you are patient and Godwary, that is indeed the steadiest of courses.

187
وَإِذ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ ميثاقَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنّاسِ وَلا تَكتُمونَهُ فَنَبَذوهُ وَراءَ ظُهورِهِم وَاشتَرَوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَليلًا ۖ فَبِئسَ ما يَشتَرونَ

TRANSLATION
When Allah made a covenant with those who were given the Book: ‘You shall explain it for the people, and you shall not conceal it,’ they cast it behind their backs and sold it for a paltry gain. How evil is what they buy!

188
لا تَحسَبَنَّ الَّذينَ يَفرَحونَ بِما أَتَوا وَيُحِبّونَ أَن يُحمَدوا بِما لَم يَفعَلوا فَلا تَحسَبَنَّهُم بِمَفازَةٍ مِنَ العَذابِ ۖ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

TRANSLATION
Do not suppose those who exult in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they have not done —do not suppose them saved from punishment, and there is a painful punishment for them.

189
وَلِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

wa-li-llāhi mulku s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-llāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun

TRANSLATION
To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Allah has power over all things.

TRANSLATION
Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth [and say], ‘Our Lord, You have not created this in vain! Immaculate are You! Save us from the punishment of the Fire.

rabbanā ʾinnaka man tudkhili n-nāra fa-qad ʾakhzaytahū wa-mā li-ẓ-ẓālimīna min ʾanṣārin

TRANSLATION
Our Lord, whoever that You make enter the Fire will surely have been disgraced by You, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

193
رَبَّنا إِنَّنا سَمِعنا مُنادِيًا يُنادي لِلإيمانِ أَن آمِنوا بِرَبِّكُم فَآمَنّا ۚ رَبَّنا فَاغفِر لَنا ذُنوبَنا وَكَفِّر عَنّا سَيِّئَاتِنا وَتَوَفَّنا مَعَ الأَبرارِ

TRANSLATION
Our Lord, we have indeed heard a summoner calling to faith, declaring, “Have faith in your Lord!” So we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our sins and absolve us of our misdeeds, and make us die with the pious.

194
رَبَّنا وَآتِنا ما وَعَدتَنا عَلىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلا تُخزِنا يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ إِنَّكَ لا تُخلِفُ الميعادَ

Our Lord, give us what You have promised us through Your apostles, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed You do not break Your promise.’

195
فَاستَجابَ لَهُم رَبُّهُم أَنّي لا أُضيعُ عَمَلَ عامِلٍ مِنكُم مِن ذَكَرٍ أَو أُنثىٰ ۖ بَعضُكُم مِن بَعضٍ ۖ فَالَّذينَ هاجَروا وَأُخرِجوا مِن دِيارِهِم وَأوذوا في سَبيلي وَقاتَلوا وَقُتِلوا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنهُم سَيِّئَاتِهِم وَلَأُدخِلَنَّهُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ ثَوابًا مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عِندَهُ حُسنُ الثَّوابِ

TRANSLATION
Then their Lord answered them, ‘I do not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female; you are all on the same footing. So those who migrated and were expelled from their homes, and were tormented in My way, and those who fought and were killed —I will surely absolve them of their misdeeds and I will admit them into gardens with streams running in them, as a reward from Allah, and Allah—with Him is the best of rewards.’

TRANSLATION
Indeed among the People of the Book there are surely some who have faith in Allah, and in what has been sent down to you, and in what has been sent down to them.

S  u  r  a    III - Imranova   obitelj -hrvatski

							U ime Boga:
							onog koji čini milosrđe,
							Milosrdnoga.

1	Alif, Lam, Mim.
2	Allah!...
	Nema drugoga osim njega:
	Živoga,
	onog koji postoji sam po sebi!

3	On je spustio na tebe Knjigu s Istinom;
	ona priznaje istinitim ono što je bilo prije nje.

	On je spustio Petoknjižje i Evanđelje
4	– smjer, odprije, za ljude –
	i spustio je ostale koje razlikuju istinu od neistine.

	Jedna je strašna kazna namijenjena
	onima koji ne vjeruju u Znakove Božje.
	– Bog je moćan, on je Gospodar osvete –

5	Ništa u nebesima i na zemlji nije skriveno Bogu.
6	On je taj koji vas oblikuje u krilu vaših majki,
	  onako kako on to hoće.

	Nema Boga osim njega,
	Moćnog, Mudrog!

7	On je taj koji je spustio knjigu na tebe.
	U njoj se nalaze jasni redci
	  – Majka Knjige –
	i druga prispodobljavanja.

	Oni čija srca se priklanjaju grješci
	  privrgavaju se onome što je rečeno u prispodobama
	jer oni traže nesklad
	i oni su gladni za tumačenjima;
	ali nitko drugi do Bog
	ne poznaje tumačenje Knjige.

	Oni koji su ukorijenjeni u Znanosti kažu:
	« Mi vjerujemo u to!
	Sve dolazi od našeg Gospoda! »
	ali samo
	ljudi nadareni razumom toga su svjesni.

8	Gospode naš!
	Ne okrći naša srca nakon što si nas usmjerio;
	dodijeli nam milost svoju.
	Ti si trajni Darovatelj.

9	Gospode naš!
	Ti si, uistinu, onaj koji će objediniti ljude jednog dana:
	nikakva sumnja nije moguća glede toga
	jer Bog ne propušta svoje obećanje.

10	Dobra i djeca nevjernika
	ne će im služiti ničemu kod Boga:
	evo oni koji će biti hrana Vatri.

11	Takva je bila sudbina Faraonovih ljudi
	i onih koji su živjeli prije njih.
	Oni su držali naše Znakove za laži;
	Bog ih je kaznio za njihove grijehe.
	– Bog je strašan u svojoj kazni –

12	Reci nevjernicima:
	« Vi će te biti pobijeđeni;
	vi će te se sakupiti u Paklu. »
	– Kojeg li mrskog mjesta za odmor! –

13	Jedan vam je znak bio dan
	kad su se dvije grupe susrele:
	jedni su se borili na Božjem putu
	a drugi su bili nevjerni;
	oni su, svojim vlastitim očima, vidjeli vjerujuće
	u broju dva puta većem od njihovog vlastitog.
	– Bog pomaže, svojom pomoću, koga on hoće –

	Evo uistinu jedne pouke
	za one koji su nadareni vidovitošću.

14	Ljubav za žuđenim dobrima je poznata ljudima
	pod lijepim i varljivimn pojavnostima;
	takve su žene, djeca,
	teške gomile zlata i srebra,
	rasni konji, stoka, obrađene zemlje:
	to tamo je jedno kratkotrajno uživanje u životu ovog svijeta,
	ali bolje mjesto povratka bit će uz Boga.

15	Reci:
	« Hoću li vam najaviti
	jednu stvar bolju od tog svega? »
	
	Oni koji se boje svog Gospoda
	naći će zauvijek kod njega,
	vrtove gdje teku potoci,
	čiste supruge i zadovoljstvo Božje.
	– Bog savršeno vidi svoje sluge –

16	Za one koji kažu:
	« Da mi smo vjerovali!
	Oprosti nam naše grijehe,
	zaštiti nas od kazne Vatre. »

17	Za one koji su strpljivi, iskreni i pobožni;
	za one koji daju milostinju
	i koji mole, od zore, oprost Božji.

18	Bog svjedoči
	i s njim anđeli
	i oni koji su nadareni razumom:
	« Nema Boga osim njega;
	njega koji sadržava pravdu...
	Nema Boga osim njega,
	Moćnog, Mudrog! »

19	Vjeroispovijed, u Božjim očima,
	je uistinu Pokornost.

	Oni kojima je Knjiga bila dana
	nisu se suprotstavili jedni drugima, i iz ljubomore,
	dok nisu predhodno primili Znanje.

	Glede onoga koji ne vjeruje Znakovima Božjim,
	nek znade da je Bog brz u svojim računima.

20	Reci onima koji dokazuju protiv tebe:
	« Ja sam se podvrgnuo Bogu,
	ja i oni koji su me slijedili. »

	Reci onima kojima je bila dana Knjiga
	  i nevjernicima:
	« Jeste li pokorni Bogu? »

	Ako su oni pokorni Bogu, oni su dobro usmjereni;
	ako se odvrate...

	Ti si samo zadužen
	prenijeti proročansku poruku
	– Bog savršeno vidi svoje sluge –

21	Najavi jednu bolnu kaznu
	onima koji ne vjeruju u Znakove Božje;
	onima koji nepravedno ubijaju proroke;
	onima koji, među ljudima,
	  ubijaju one koji zapovijedaju pravdu.

22	Evo onih čija su djela prazna
	u ovom svijetu i u budućem životu.
	– Oni ne će naći branitelja –	

23	Nisi li ti vidio one koji su primili jedan dio Knjige
	pozivati Knjizi Božjoj, kao k sudcu?
	Neki među njima su se potom okrenuli
	i odstranili se.

24	To je zato da bi rekli:
	« Vatra će nas dohvatiti samo jedno ograničeno vrijeme. »
	kako su se pustili zavesti u svojoj vjeroispovijedi
	svim onim što su izmislili.

25	Šta će se dogoditi kad ih okupimo jednog dana:
	– nikakva sumnja nije moguća glede ovog predmata –
	svaki čovjek primit će tada
	  naknadu za ono što bude izvršio
	a nitko ne će biti oštećen.

26	Reci:
	« O Bože! Suverenu Kraljevstva:
	Ti daješ kraljevstvo kome ti hoćeš
	i ti oduzimaš kraljevstvo kome ti hoćeš.
	Ti uzdižeš koga ti hoćeš
	i ti spuštaš koga ti hoćeš.
	Sreća je u tvojoj ruci,
	ti si, uistinu, nadmoćan nad svakom stvari. »

27	Ti daješ noći prodrijeti u dan
	i daješ danu prodirati u noć.
	Ti izvodiš živog iz mrtvoga
	i ti izvodiš mrtvoga iz živoga.
	Ti daješ potrebno kome ti hoćeš, bez računa. »

28	Nek vjerujući ne predpostavljaju prijateljevanje
	s nevjernicima onom s vjerujućima.
	Onaj koji bude tako radio,
	nema što očekivati od Boga.
	– osim ako ti ljudi
	ne čine opasnost za vas –

	Bog vas upozorava na sebe samog;
	povratak će biti prema Bogu.

29	Reci:
	« Ako vi skrivate ono što je u vašim srcima,
	ili pak, ako vi to pokazujete,
	Bog to poznaje. »

30	Na Dan kad će svaki čovjek naći predstavljeno pred sobom
	ono što bude dobro učinio i ono što bude zlo učinio,
	poželjet će da jedno dugo razdoblje
	 njega odijeli od tog Dana.

	Bog vas upozorava na sebe samog;
	povratak će biti prema Bogu.

31	Reci:
	«Slijedite mene, ako volite Boga;
	Bog će vas voljeti i oprostiti vam vaše grijehove.
	Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan. »

32	Reci.
	« Pokorite se Bogu i Proroku.
	Ali ako se okrenete,
	znajte da Bog ne voli nevjernike. »

33	Da, Bog je izabrao, osobito rado u svijetu:
	Adama, Noea, obitelj Abrahamovu, obitelj Imranovu,
34	kao potomke jednih od drugih.
	– Bog je onaj koji čuje i koji zna –

35	Imranova žena reče:
	« Gospode moj!
	Ja tebi posvećujem ono što je u mojem krilu;
	prihvati ga s moje strane.
	Ti si, uistinu, onaj koji čuje i koji zna.»

36	Nakon što je porodila svoju kćerku, ona reče:
	« Gospode moj!
	Ja sam donijela na svijet jednu kćerku.»
	– Bog je znao što je ona bila porodila:
	jedan dječak ne sliči djevojčici –
	« Ja ju nazivam Marijom,
	stavljam ju pod tvoju zaštitu, nju i jeno potomstvo,
	  protiv Sotone, prokletog. »

37	Njen Gospod prihvati djevojčicu
	  priređujući joj jedan lijep prijam;
	on njoj dade rasti u lijepom odgoju
	i povjeri ju Zahariju.

	Svaki put kad bi Zaharije nju išao vidjeti, u Templu,
	on bi pokraj nje našao potrebnu hranu,
	i on ju upita:
	« O Marijo! Otkud ovo dolazi?»

	Ona odgovaraše:
	« To dolazi od Boga:
	Bog daje, ne računajući, svoju ishranu kome on to hoće. »

38	Tad Zaharije zazva svog Gospoda:
	on reče:
	« Moj Gospode!
	Dodijeli meni, s tvoje strane,
	  jedno izvrsno potomstvo.
	Ti si, uistinu, onaj koji uslišava molitvu.»
	
39	Dok je on uspravljen molio u Templu,
	anđeli mu povikaše:
	« Bog ti najavljuje
	dobru vijest o rođenju Ivanovom:
	on će proglasiti istinitom Riječ
	  koja izvire iz Boga;
	jedan poglavar, jedan čisti, jedan Prorok među pravednicima. »

40	Zaharije reče:
	« Gospode moj!
	Kako ću ja imati dječaka?
	Starost me dosegla,
	a moja je žena nerotkinja.»

	On reče:
	« Bit će tako, Bog čini što on hoće.»

41	Zaharije reče:
	« Gospode moj!
	Daj mi jedan Znak.»
	
	On reče:
	« Tvoj Znak Bit će
	da ćeš ti govoriti s ljudima pomoću gesta,
	tijekom tri dana.
	Zazivaj često svog Gospoda;
	slavi ga u sumrak i u svitanje. »

42	Anđeli rekoše:
	« O Marijo!
	Bog te izabrao, uistinu,
	on te očistio;
	on te izabrao
	  predpostavljajući te svim ženama svemira.

43	O Marijo!
	Budi pobožna prema Gospodu svom;
	prostri se i pokloni se s onima koji se klanjaju. »

44	Ovo čini dio priča
	koje se tiču tajne koju ti mi odkrivamo.

	Ti nisi bio među njima
	kad su oni bacali svoje trstike
	da bi doznali tko će između njih brinuti se o Mariji.

	Ti nisi također bio među njima
	kad su se oni prepirali.

45	Anđeli rekoše:
	« O Marijo!
	Bog ti najavljuje
	dobru vijest o jednoj Riječi koja izvire iz njega:
	Njegovo je ime Mesija, Isus, sin Marijin;
	slavan u ovom svijetu i u budućem životu;
	on je u broju onih koji su blizu Bogu.
46	Od kolijevke,
	on će ljudima govoriti poput starca;
	on će biti u broju pravednika. »

47	Ona reče:
	« Gospode moj!
	Kako ću ja imati sina?
	Ni jedan me čovjek nikad nije dotakao. »

	On reče:
	« Bog stvara onako kako on hoće:
	kad je on propisao jednu stvar,
	on kaže njoj: « Budi!...»
	i ona jest. »

48	Bog će ga poučiti Knjizi, Mudrosti,
	Petoknjižju i Evanđelju;
49	i evo ga proroka, poslanog sinovima Izraelovim:
	« Ja sam došao k vama s jednim Znakom vašeg Gospoda:
	ja ću za vas stvoriti od gline
	nešto poput oblika ptice.
	Ja puhnem u to, i ono jest: « ptica »,
	– s dopuštenjem Božjim –

	Ja liječim slijepog i leproznog;
	ja uskrsavam mrtve
	– s Božjim dopuštenjem –

	Ja vam govorim što jedete
	i što krijete u svojim boravištima.

	Ima tu uistinu jedan Znak za vas,
	ako ste vjerujući.

50	Evo me,
	potvrđujućeg onome što je postojalo prije mene u Petoknjižju
	i objavljujućeg dopuštenim za vas,
	jedan dio onoga što vam je bilo zabranjeno.
	Ja sam došao k vama s jednim Znakom vašeg Gospoda;
	– Bojte se njega i podvrgnite se meni –
51	Bog je, uistinu, moj Gospod i vaš Gospod:
	Služite ga: to je pravi put. »

52	Isus reče: nakon što je ustanovio jihovu nevjernost:
	« Koji su među vama koji pomoćnici na putu Božjem? »

	Apostoli rekoše:
	« Mi smo pomoćnici Božji;
	mi vjerujemo u Boga;
	budi svjedokom naše podvrgnutosti.

53	Gospode naš!
	Mi smo vjerovali u ono što si nam to odkrio;
	mi smo slijedili Proroka;
	upiši nas među svjedoke. »

54	Sinovi Izraelovi snovaše lukavstva protiv Isusa.
	Bog bi lukav također;
	Bog je najbolji od onih koji spremaju lukavstva.

55	Bog reče:
	« O Isuse!
	Ja ću, uistinu, pozvati k sebi;
	uzdignuti prema sebi;
	osloboditi od nevjernika.
	Ja ću postaviti one koji su tebe slijedili
	iznad nevjernika,
	sve do Dana Uskrsnuća;
	vaš će se povratak tada obaviti k meni;
	ja ću suditi između vas i odlučiti o vašim razlikama.

56	Glede onih koji ne vjeruju,
	ja ću njih kazniti jednom strašnom kaznom
	u ovom svijetu i u budućem životu.
	– Oni ne će naći pomoćnika » –

57	Glede onih koji budu vjerovali i koji budu činili dobro,
	Bog će njima dati njihovu naknadu.
	– Bog ne voli nepravedne –

58	Evo jednog dijela Znakova i mudrog Podsješanja
	kojeg ti mi priopćavamo.

59	Da, s Isusom je kod Boga kao s Adamom:
	Bog je stvorio zemlju,
	potom je rekao njemu: « Budi, » i on jest.

60	Istina izvire iz tvog Gospoda.
	Ne budi u broju onih koji sumnjaju.

61	Ako ti netko proturječi
	nakon onoga što si ti primio kao znanost, reci:
	« Dođite!
	Pozovimo naše sinove i vaše sinove,
	naše žene i vaše žene,
	nas i vas,
	izrecimo jedno uzajamnu kletvu
	pozivajući prokletstvo Božje na lažljivce. »

62	Evo priče, Istine:
	Nema Boga osim Boga.
	Bog je Moćni, Mudri.

63	Ako se okrenu
	nek znaju da Bog poznaje kvaritelje.

64	Reci:
	« O ljudi Knjige!
	Priđite riječi zajedničkoj nama i vama:
	mi obožavamo samo Boga;
	mi njemu ne pridružujemo ništa;
	nitko između nas sebe ne daje Gospodaru,
	izvan Boga. »

	Ako se okrenu, reci im:
	« Potvrdite da smo mi uistinu podvrgnuti. »

65	O ljudi Knjige!
	Zašto se vi prepirete glede Abrahama,
	kad su Petoknjižje i Evanđelje bili odkriveni
	  tek poslije njega?
	Zar ne razumijete?

66	Evo kako se vi ponašate:
	vi koji se prepirete
	glede onoga o čemu ste imali znanje,
	zašto se prepirete
	glede onoga o čemu nemate nikakvog znanja?
	– Bog zna, a vi, vi ne znate –

67	Abraham nije bio ni židov ni krščanin
	već je bio pravi vjernik podvrgnut Bogu;
	on nije bio u broju mnogobožaca.

68	Ljudi najbliži Abrahamu
	su uistinu oni koji su ga slijedili,
	kao i ovaj Prorok i oni koji su vjerovali.
	– Bog je Gospodar vjerujućima –

69	Jedan dio ljudi Knjige htio bi vas zavesti:
	ali oni zavode samo sami sebe
	a da toga nisu ni svjesni.

70	O ljudi Knjige!
	Zašto ste vi nevjerni
	  prema Znakovima Božjim,
	kad ste im vi svjedoci?

71	O ljudi Knjige!
	Zašto vi prikrivate Istinu ispod laži?
	Zašto skrivate Istinu, kad ju poznajete?

72	Jedan dio ljudi Knjige kaže:
	« U početku dana,
	vjerujte u ono što je bilo odkriveno vjerujućima;
	a na njegovom izmaku, budite nevjernici. »
	– Možda će se oni povratiti –
73	Vjerujte samo onima koji slijede vađu Vjeroispovijed.

	Reci:
	« Da, pravi put je put Božji.
	On može dati bilo kome ono što je vama dao. »

	Ili pak, oni će dokazivati protiv vas
	glede vašeg Gospoda.
	Reci:
	« Milost je u rukama Božjim:
	on nju daje kome on to hoće. »
	– Bog je nazočan posvuda i on zna –

74	On posebice dodjeljuje svoje milosrđe kome on hoće :
	Bog je Gospodar neizmjerne milosti.

75	Sigurno, ima među ljudima Knjige,
	 koji će će ti vratiti kintar koji si im povjerio.
	Drugi ti ne će vratiti ni dinar koji si im povjerio,
	osim ako ih ne prinudiš.

	To je tako, jer oni govore:
	« Nevjernici nemaju nikakvog sredstva da nas prinude. »

	Oni propovijedaju laži protiv Boga,
	dok ustvari oni znaju.

76	Glede onoga koji ispunjava svoju obvezu
	i koji se boji Boga,
	nek zna da Bog voli one koji se njega boje.

77	Oni koji po niskoj cijeni prodaju
	  svoj savez s Bogom i svoje prisege,
	evo onih koji ne će imati udjela u budućem životu.
	Bog njima ne će govoriti;
	on njih ne će pogledati, na Dan Uskrsnuća;
	on njih ne će očistiti
	a jedna ih bolna kazna čeka.

78	Stanoviti među njima krivotvore Knjigu pozivajući se na nju
	da bi načinili dojam
	kako njihove izmišljotine pripadaju Knjizi,
	ali one su tuđice u Knjizi.

	Oni kažu kako sve to dolazi od Boga
	ali to ne dolazi od Boga.
	Oni propovijedaju laži protiv Boga,
	dok oni znaju.

79	Ne pripada jednom smrtniku
	kojem je Bog dao Knjigu
	Mudrost i proročanstvo, da potom kaže ljudima:
	« Budite moje sluge, a ne Božje »;
	već će on reći:
	« Budite gospodari budući da poučavate kKnjigu
	i jer ste ju proučavali. »

80	Bog vam ne zapovijeda
	da uzmete za gospodare anđele ili proroke.
	Da li vam je zapovjedio nevjernost,
	dok ste vi njemu bili podvrgnuti?

81	Bog kaže, primajući savez proročki:
	« Ja sam vam uistinu dao nešto
	od Knjige i od Mudrosti.
	Potom je jedan Prorok došao k vama,
	potvrđujući ono što ste već imali.
	Vjerujte u njega i pomažite mu.
	Jeste li vi odlučni i prihvaćate li moj savez
	  pod tim uvjetom? »

	Oni odgovoriše:
	« Prihvaćamo! »

	On reče:
	« Budite dakle svjedoci,
	a ja, ja sam s vama, među svjedocima. »

82	Glede onih koji se potom okrenu,
	evo izopačenih.

83	Žele li oni neku drugu vjeroispovijed a ne onu Božju,
	dok sve što je u nebesima i na zemlji
	  se pokorava njemu, milom ili silom
	i kad će oni biti dovedeni k njemu?

84	Reci:
	« Mi vjerujemo u Boga;
	onome što nam je odkriveno;
	onome što je bilo odkriveno
	Abrahamu, Ismaelu, Izaku, Jakovu i plemenima;
	onome što je bilo dano Mojsiju, Isusu, prorocima
  	od strane njihovog Gospodina.
	Mi n ističemo posebno ni jednog među njima:
	mi smo podvrgnuti Bogu. »

85	Bogoslužje onoga koji traži jednu vjeroispovijed
	pokraj Podvrgavanja
	nije prihvaćeno.
	Taj će čovjek biti, u budućem životu,
	u broju onih koji su sve izgubili.

86	Kako će Bog usmjeravati
	one koji su postali nevjernici
	nakon što su bili vjerujući;
	nakon što su bili svjedocima istinitosti Prorokove
	i neoborivih dokaza koji su im došli?
	– Bog ne usmjerava nepravednog naroda –

87	Kakva će biti njihova nagrada?
	Prekletstvo Božje,
	anđeosko i svih ljudi zajedno
	past će sigurno na njih.
88	Oni će tu boraviti kao bezsmrtnici;
	kazna neće biti olakšana u njihovu korist;
	na njih se ne će gledati;
89	s izuzetkom 
	onih koji, potom, budu se pokajali
	i koji se budu popravili.
	– Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan –

90	Glede onih koji budu nevjernici
	nakon što su bili vjerujući
	i koji, zatim, ustraju u svojoj nevjernosti:
	njihovo pokajanje ne će biti prihvaćeno:
	evo onih koji su zabludjeli.

91	Da, ako bi nevjernici, koji su umrli u nevjerstvu,
	dali sve zlato zemaljsko da bi se iskupili,
	to ne bi bilo prihvaćeno niti jednom od njih.
	Jedna je bolna kazna njima pričuvana
	i oni ne će naći pomoćnika.

92	Vi ne će te dosegnuti istinsku pobožnost,
	sve dok ne budete dali u milostinju
	ono što volite.
	Što god dajete u milostinju,
	Bog to zna.

93	Svaka je hrana bila dopuštena sinovima Izraelovim,
	osim onoga što je Izrael bio zabranio sam sebi,
	  prije no što je Petoknjižje bilo odkriveno.

	Reci:
	« Donesite dakle Petoknjižje;
	čitajte ga, ako ste vjerodostojni. »

94	Glede onih koji potom smišljaju
	laž protiv Boga:
	evo onih koji su nepravedni.

95	Reci:
	Bog je istinit
	slijedite vjeroispovijed Abrahamovu koji je istinski vjernik;
	koji nije bio u broju mnogobožaca. »

96	Prvi Templ koji je bio osnovan za ljude
	jest, uistinu, onaj u Meki:
	on je blagoslovljen i služi za Usmjerenje svijetu.

97	Očevidni Znakovi se nalaze
	u mjestu gdje se zadržavao Abraham.
	Tko unutra uđe u sigurnosti je.

	Pripada ljudima,
	– onome tko posjeduje sredstva –
	ići, za Boga, na hodočašće u Kuću.

	Glede nevjernih,
	nek znaju da Bog dostaje sam sebi,
	i da nema potrebe za svemirom.

98	Reci:
	« O ljudi Knjige!
	Zašto vi ne vjerujete Znakovima Božjim?
	– Bog je svjedok vašim djelima –

99	Reci:
	« O ljudi Knjige!
	Zašto vi odvraćate vjerujuće s puta Božjeg
	i želite ga učiniti zamršenim,
	onda kad ste vi svjedocima? »
	– Bog nije nepažljiv spram onoga što vi činite –

100	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Ako se pokorite
	stanovitima od onih koji su primili Knjigu,
	oni će vas učiniti nevjernicima,
	nakon što ste imali vjeru.

101	Kako to da ste vi još nevjernici,
	kad su vam Redci Božji bili govoreni,
	kad je njegov Prorok među vama?

102	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Bojte se Boga strahom koji on zaslužuje.
	Ne umrite a da njemu niste pdvrgnuti.

103	Privrgnite se svi, snažno, nagodbi s Bogom,
	ne dijelite se;
	sjetite se dobročinstava Božjih.
	Bog je ustanovio slogu u vašim srcima,
	vi ste, njegovom milošću, postali braća
	onda kad ste bili neprijatelji
	  jedni drugima.
	Vi ste bili na rubu jednog vatrenog ponora
	a on vas je spasio.

	Evo kako Bog vama objašnjava svoje Znakove,
	možda će te vi biti dobro usmjereni.

104	Vi biste mogli osnovati jednu Zajednicu
	čiji članovi pozivaju ljude k dobru:
	zapovijedati im što je pristojno
	a zabranjivati ono što je sramno:
	evo onih koji će biti sretni!

105	Ne budite kao oni koji su podijeljeni
	i koji se suprotstavljaju jedni drugima
	nakon što su im odlučni dokazi došli.

	Evo onih kojima je namijenjena jedna strašna kazna
106	na Dan kad će se stanovita lica razvedriti
	dok će druga lica potamniti.
	Reći će se onima čija su lica potamnila:
	« Jeste li vi bili nevjernici nakon što ste imali vjeru?
	Kušajte dakle kaznu,
	  po cijeni svoje nevjernosti. »

107	Oni čija su lica vedra
	  uživat će milosrđe Božje
	u kojem će oni boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.

108	Takvi su Redci Božji.
	Mi ih tebi govorimo u punoj istini.
	– Bog ne će zla svijetu –

109	Ono što je u nebesima i što je na zemlji
	  pripada Bogu.
	Svaka stvar se vraća k Bogu!

110	Vi činite najbolju Zajednicu
	  stvorenu od ljudi:
	vi zapovijedate ono što je pristojno,
	vi zabranjujete ono što je sramno,
	vi vjerujete u Boga.

	Da ljudi Knjige vjeruju,
	  to bi bilo bolje po njih.
	Među njimna se nalaze vjerujući,
	ali većina između njih je izopačena. 

111	Oni će vama samo malo naškoditi.
	Ako zaratuju s vama,
	brzo će okrenuti leđa
	i, potom, neće im biti pomoći.

112	Poniženje je njih udaril,
	ondje gdje su se nalazili,
	s izuzetkom onih koji su bili zaštićeni
	Savezom s Bogom i savezom s ljudima.

	Oni su se izložili ljutnji Božjoj;
	udarilo ih je siromaštvo.

	To bi tako:
	jer oni nisu vjerovali u Znakove Božje
	i jer su nepravedno ubijali proroke.

	To bi tako:
	jer su se pobunili
	i jer su bili prijestupnici.

113	Svi nisu slični
	postoji, među ljudima Knjige,
	  jedna prava zajednica
	čiji članovi, govore, tijekom noći,
	  Redke Božje.

	Oni se prostiru;
114	oni vjeruju u Boga i u posljednji Dan;
	oni zapovijedaju ono što je pristojno,
	oni zabranjuju ono što je sramno;
	oni hite činiti dobro:
	evo onih koji su u broju pravednih

115	Koje god dobro oni naprave,
	njima ne će biti osporeno,
	jer Bog poznaje one koji se njega Boje.

116	Dobra i djeca koja pripadaju nevjernicima
	ne će im u ničemu poslužiti protiv Boga.
	Evo onih koji će biti gosti Vatre
	gdje će boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.

117	Ono što ljudi potroše za ovosvjetski život
	slično je vjetru punom tuče:
	on je udario i uništio žetvu
	  onima koji su činili krivo sami sebi:
	Bog njih nije oštetio,
	već su oni sami sebi učinili krivo.
118	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Prijateljske sveze uspostavljajte samo među sobom,
	drugi ne će propustiti da vam naškode;
	oni hoće vaš gubitak;
	mržnja se pokazuje u njihovim ustima
	ali ono što je skriveno i njihovim srcima još je gore.
	Mi smo vama objasnili Znakove;
	kad biste vi samo razumjeli!

119	Evo kako se vi ponašate:
	vi njih volite, a oni vas ne vole
	a vi vjerujete u Knjgu u cjelini.

	Oni kažu, kad ih vi susretnete:
	« Mi vjerujemo! »;
	a kad se nađu između sebe,
	oni grizu prste od bijesa protiv vas.

	Reci:
	« Umrite od svojeg bijesa! »
	– Bog poznaje sadržaj vaših srca –

120	Ako vas kakvo dobro dopadne, oni se rastuže;
	ako vas dosegne nesreća, oni se raduju.

	Ako ste vi strpljivi i ako se bojite Boga,
	njihova lukavština vam ne će naškoditi u bilo čemu.
	– Znanost Božja prekriva sva njihova djela –

121	Bilo je to tako kad si ti izjutra napustio svoju obitelj
	da bi vjerujuće postavio na bojna mjesta
	– Bog čuje i on zna –
122	i dok su dvije vaše postrojbe smišljale povlačenje
	dok je Bog njima objema zaštitnik...
	– Vjerujući se moraju pouzdavati u Boga –

123	Bog vam je međutim pomogao u Badru,
	onda kad vi bijaste poniženi.
	Bojte se Boga!
	Možda će te vi biti zahvalni!

124	Kad si ti govorio vjerujućima:
	« Ne dostaje li vama da vam vaš Gospod pomaže
	s tri tisuće anđela koji su sišli k vama? »

125	Da, ako ste vi strpljivi,
	ako se bojite Boga,
	i da vaši neprijatelji nadiru prema vama,
	vaš će vam Gospod poslati kao pojačanje
	pet tisuća svojih anđela koji će se baciti na njih.
126	Bog to čini 
	samo da bi vam najavio dobru vijest
	da bi vaša srca bila smirena.
	Pobjeda dolazi samo od Boga, Moćnog, Pravednog,
127	da bi izkomadao ili suzbio
	  jedan dio nevjernih,
	da bi otišli pobijeđeni.

128	Ovaj posao se tebe ne tiče:
	bilo da se Bog vrati k njima,
	ili da ih kazni;
	oni su nepravedni.

129	Ono što je u nebesima i na zemlji pripada Bogu.
	On oprašta kome on hoće;
	on kažnjava koga on hoće.
	Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan.

130	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Ne živite od kaišarenja
	čineći više puta udvostručavanje.
	Bojte se Boga!
	Možda će te vi biti sretni.

131	Bojte se Vatre pripravljene nevjernicima.
132	Pokorite se Bogu i proroku.
	Možda će on učiniti milosrđe.

133	Pohitite prema oprostu svog Gospodina
	i prema Vrtu širokom kao nebesa i zemlja,
	pripravljenog onima koji se boje Boga;
134	onima koji daju milostinju,
	  u bogatstvu i u oskudici;
	onima koji savlađuju svoju ljutnju;
	onima koji opraštaju ljudima
	– Bog voli one koji čine dobro –
135	onima koji, nakon što su izvršili
	jedno loše djelo
	ili su učinili štetu sami sebi,
	sjete se Boga
	i mole u njega oprost za svoje grijehe ;
	– Tko je onaj koji oprašta grijehe;
	ako to nije Bog ?–
	onima koji ne uztrajavaju u svojim postupanjima;
	  dok ustvari znaju.

136	Evo onih koji će dobiti svoju nagradu:
	oprost od svojeg Gospodina;
	Vrtove gdje teku potoci;
	oni će u njima boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.
	Kako je lijepa nagrada onima koji čine dobro!

137	Događaji su se zbili prije vas;
	prođite zemljom:
	vidite kakv je bio svršetak onih koji su to proglašavali za laž.

138	Evo jednog jasnog objašnjenja ljudima;
	jedno Usmjerenje i nagovor
	onima koji se boje Boga.

139	Ne gubite hrabrosti;
	ne tugujte,
	jer ste vi nadmoćni ljudi,
	ako ste vjerujući.

140	Ako budete ranjeni,
	ista takva rana dopast će nevjerničkom puku.

	Mi te dane ljudima izmjenjujemo
	da bi Bog prepoznao one koji vjeruju
	i da bi uzeo svjedoke među vama;
	– Bog ne voli nepravedne –
141	da bi Bog izkušai vjerujuće
	i da bi uništio nevjernike.

142	Računate li vi ući u Raj,
	prije nego Bog prepozna
	one među vama koji su se borili
	i one koji su strpljivi?

143	Da, vi biste željeli smrt prije nego ju susretnete;
	ali vi ste ju vidjeli i vi ju očekujete.

144	Muhamed je samo jedan prorok;
	brojni su proroci živjeli prije njega.
	Da li biste vi odustali,
	da je on umro, ili bio ubijen?

	Onaj koji odustane
	ne škodi ni malo Bogu;
	ali Bog nagrađuje one koji su zahvalni.

145	Ne pripada nikome umrijeti
	ako to nije s dopuštenjem Božjim
	i prema onome što je neopozivo zapisano.

	Nekome tko želi naknadu u ovom svijetu,
	  mi dajemo jedan dio;
	nekome tko želi naknadu u budućem životu,
	  mi ćemo mu dati jedan dio.
	Mi ćemo uskoro nagraditi one koji su zahvalni.

146	Koliki su se proroci borili,
	imajući uza se brojne učenike;
	oni se nisu pustili pobijediti poteškoćama
	koje su susretali na putu Božjem.
	Oni nisu slabili,
	oni nisu ustuknuli.
	–Bog voli one koji su strpljivi –

147	Njihova jedina riječ bijaše :
	« Gospode naš!
	Oprosti nam naše grijehove
	i naše neumjernosti u ponašanju.
	Učvrsti naše korake.
	Pomozi nam protiv nevjernog puka. »

148	Bog njima dakle dade nagradu u ovom svijetu,
	kao i najbolju nagradu u budućem životu.
	– Bog voli one koji čine dobro –

149	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Ako se vi pokorite nevjernicima,
	oni će vas nagnati da odustanete;
	vi će te se, tada, vratiti, izgubivši sve.

150	Ali ne!...
	Bog je vaš Gospodar,
	on, najbolji od pomoćnika!

151	Mi ćemo baciti strah
	  u srca nevjernicima
	jer su pridružili Bogu
	ono čemu nikakva moć ne bijaše ustupljena.
	Njihovo boravište bit će vatra.
	Kojeg li groznog boravišta za bezbožne!

152	Bog je ispunio svoje obećanje prema vama,
	kad, s dopuštenjem njegovim, 
	vi ste uništavali neprijatelje svoje,
	sve do časa kad ste se povukli,
	kad ste počeli osporavanja
	  glede tog predmeta.
	Vi ste se pobunili
	nakon što vam je Bog bio pokazao ono što ste željeli.

	Neki između vas željeli su ovaj svijet,
	neki između vas željeli su budući život.
	Bog, potom, i da bi vas izkušao,
	dao je da vaši neprijatelji pobjegnu ispred vas.
	On vam je sigurno oprostio.
	Bog je Gospodar milosti u korist vjerujućih.

153	Kad ste se nanovo uspinjali
	a da se niste obazirali na nikoga,
	i kad vas je Prorok
	pozivao iz pozadine vaših postrojbi,
	Bog je izmijenio za vas
	jednu tugu u drugu tugu,
        da se vi ne biste žalostili
	ni zbog onoga što vam je izmaklo,
	ni zbog onoga što vam se dogodilo.
	– Bog je dobro obaviješten o onome što vi činite –

154	Nakon ožalošćenja, on na vas spusti sigurnost:
	jedan san koji obvi jedan dio vaših,
	dok su drugi bili zabrinuti.

	Njihovo mnijenje o Bogu,
	nije bilo sukladno Istini;
	to je bila jedna predpostavka koja je izvirala iz neznanja.

	Oni su govorili:
	« Ima li bilo čega u ovom poslu što bi se nas ticalo? »

	Reci:
	« Posao u cijelosti pripada Bogu. »

	Oni u sebi skrivaju ono što ne pokazuju.
	Oni kažu:
	« Da je posao ovisio o nama,
	naši ne bi bili ubijeni ovdje. »

	Reci:
	« Čak i da ste vi ostali u svojim kućama
	smrt bi dosegla u njihovim krevetima
	one čija smrt bijaše propisana,
	da bi Bog ono što se nalazi u vašim srcima
	i da bi im se očistio sadržaj. »
	–Bog poznaje sadržaj srca –

155	Ako je bilo, među vama, onih koji su se okrenuli
	na dan kad su se dvije postrojbe susrele;
	to je samo zbog toga što je zloduh njih naveo da posrnu,
	zbog onoga što su učinili.
	Ali Bog je njima oprostio.
	Bog je, uistinu, onaj koji oprašta:
	on je pun milosti.

156	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Ne budite slični nevjernicima!
	Oni su rekli o svojoj braći
	koja  prolaze zemljom i koja se bore:
	« Oni ne će umrijeti,
	oni ne bi bili ubijeni,
	da su ostali s nama. »

	Nek načini od toga predmet straha u njihovim srcima!
	Bog stvara život i on usmrćuje.
	Bog savršeno vidi ono što vi činite.

157	Da ste vi bili ubijeni na Božjem putu
	ili da ste umrli,
	oprost i milosrđe Božje
	su uistinu bolji od onoga što vi gomilate.

158	Ako umrete ili budete ubijeni,
	vi će te sigurno biti okupljeni kod Boga.

159	Ti si bio blag glede njih
	po milosrdnosti Božjoj.
	Da si ti bio grub ili tvrdog srca,
	oni bi se odvojili od tebe.

	Oprosti im!
	Moli oprost za njih;
	savjetuj se s njima o svakoj stvari;
	ali, kad si donio jednu odluku,
	pouzdaj se u Boga.
	– Bog voli one koji se pouzdaju u njega –

160	Ako vam Bog pomogne,
	  nitko vas ne će pobijediti.
	Ako vas napusti,
	  tko bi dakle, osim njega, mogao vama pomoći?
	– Vjerujući se pouzdaju u Boga –

161	Ne pristoji jednom proroku da vara.
	Onaj tko vara, doći će sa svojim grijehom
	na Dan Uskrsnuća.

	Svaki će čovjek tada primiti
	nagradu za ono što je načinio.
	Nitko ne će biti oštećen.

162	Onaj koji je slijedio ugodnost Božju
	da li će biti sličan
	onome koji je izazvao srdžbu Božju
	i koji će imati Pakao za boravište?
	– Kojeg li groznog svršetka! –
163	Oni stvaraju jednu hijerarhiju kod Boga;
	Bog savršeno vidi ono što oni čine.

164	Bog je dodijelio milost vjerujućima
	kad im je poslao jednog Proroka uzetog između njih
	koji im govori svoje Redke,
	koji ih čisti,
	koji ih poučava Knjizi i Mudrosti,
	čak i ako su predhodno bili
	  u očitom grijehu.

165	Kad vas je nevolja sustigla,
	– ali vi ste ju dvostruko nanijeli
	svojim neprijateljima –
	niste li vi rekli:
	« Odkud to dolazi? »

	Odgovori:
	« To dalazi od vas. »
	–Bog je nadmoćan nad svakom stvari–

166	Ono što vas je doseglo,
	  na dan kad su se dvije postrojbe  susrele,
	to se dogodilo s Božjim dopuštenjem,
	da bi oni prepoznali vjerujuće i
167	da bi prepoznali licemjere.

	Njima je rečeno:
	« Napredujte!
	Borite se na putu Božjem! »
	Ili pak:
	« Branite se! »

	Oni su odgovorili:
	« Da se mi znamo boriti
	mi bismo vas sigurno slijedili. »
	– Oni se nađoše, tog dana, 
	bliže nevjernosti nego vjeri –

	Oni su svojim ustima rekli
	ono što nije u njihovim srcima.
	– Bog savršeno poznaje ono što oni skrivaju –

168	Mirno sjedeći u svojim boravištima,
	oni su govorili svojoj braći:
	« Oni ne bi bili ubijeni,
	da su nam se pokorili! »

	Reci:
	« Izbjegnite dakle vi sami smrti,
	ako ste vjerodostojni! »

169	Naročito ne vjeruj
	da su oni koji su ubijeni
	na putu Božjem mrtvi.
	Oni su živi!

	Oni će biti obskrbljeni dobrima kod svog Gospoda,
170	oni će biti sretni po milosti koju im je Bog dodijelio.

	Oni se raduju jer znaju
	da oni koji će doći poslije njih
	i koji im se još nisu pridružili
	ne će više osjetiti nikakvog straha
	i da ne će biti ožalošćeni.

171	Oni se raduju dobročinstvu i milosti Božjoj;
	Bog ne pušta da se izgubi nagrada vjerujućima.

172	Jedna bezgranična nagrada je pričuvana
	onima koji su odgovorili Bogu i Proroku
	  usprkos njihovim ranama;
	onima između njih koji čine dobro
	i koji se boje Boga.

173	Onima koji su rekli:
	« Ljudi su sigurno ujedinili svoje snage protiv vas;
	bojte se njih, »
	tada njihova vjera poraste, i oni odgovoriše:
	« Bog nama dostaje!
	Kojeg li izvrsnog Zaštitnika! »

174	Oni su se vratili s dobročinstvom i milošću Božjom.
	Nikakvo zlo nije njih dotaklo.
	Oni su htjeli ugoditi Bogu.
	– Bog je Gospodar neizmjerne milosti –

175	Zloduh je takav:
	on užasava svoje slugane.
	Ne bojte se njih,
	bojte se mene,
	ako ste vjerujući!

176	Nek te oni koji se strmoglavljuju prema nevjernosti
	  ne žaloste.
	Oni uistinu u ničemu ne škode Bogu.
	Bog njima ne će dati ništa u budućem životu.
	Jedna strašna kazna je njima pripravljena.

177	Oni koji su trampili vjeru za nevjeru
	  uistinu u ničemu ne škode Bogu.
	Jedna strašna kazna je njima pripravljena.

178	Nek oni koji su nevjerni ne misle
	da odgoda koju mi njima dodijeljujemo
	jeste njihovo dobro.

	Odgoda koju im mi dodjeljujemo
	  povećava njihov grijeh.
	Jedna sramna kazna je njima pripravljena.

179	Ne priliči Bogu ostaviti vjerujuće
	u prilici u kojoj se nalazite,
	ako to nije vrijeme razlikovanja
	  lošeg od dobrog čovjeka.
	
	Bog vas ne će upoznati s Tajnom;
	ali Bog izabire koga on hoće među svojim prorocima.

	Vjerujte dakle u Boga i njegove proroke.
	Ako vi vjerujete, ako se bojite Boga,
	jedna nagrada bez granica vama je pričuvana.

180	Nek oni koji su pohlepni
	za onim što im je Bog dao iz svoje naklonosti
	ne smatraju to kao jedno osobno dobro;
	to je naprotiv, jedno zlo.

	Uskoro, na Dan Uskrsnuća,
	oni će oko vrata nositi
	ono za čim su bili pohlepni.

	Naslijeđe nebesa i zemlje pripada Bogu.
	Bog je dobro obaviješten o onome što vi činite.

181	Bog je sigurno čuo riječ onih koji su rekli:
	« Bog je siromah, a mi mi smo bogati! »

	Mi pohranjujemo pismeno njihove riječi
	pamteći da su oni nepravedno ubijali proroke.

	Mi ćemo njima reći:
	« Okusite kaznu Vatre
182	po cijeni onoga što su vaše ruke učinile. »
	– Bog nije nepravedan prema svojim slugama –

183	Ti ljudi su rekli:
	« Bog je sklopio savez s nama,
	zapovijedajući nam da ne vjerujemo u jednog proroka
	dok nam on ne bude pokazao
	jednu žrtvu koju proždire vatra. »

	Reci:
	« Prije mene,
	došli su proroci s odlučnim dokazima,
	i s onim o čemu vi govorite,
	Zašto ste vi njih ubijali,
	ako ste vjerodostojni? »

184	Ako te optuže za laž,
	oni su također proglašavali lažcima
	proroke koji su došli prije tebe,
	 s dokazima,	
	s Pismima,
	i sa svjetlom Knjigom.

185	Svaki će čovjek okusiti smrt:
	vi će te sigurno primiti svoju naknadu
	na Dan Uskrsnuća.

	Onaj koji će biti sačuvan od Vatre
	i uveden u Raj
	iskusit će sreću.

	Život ovog svijeta
	samo je jedno kratkotrajno i varljivo uživanje.

186	Vi će te sigurno biti izkušani
	u svojim dobrima i u svojim osobama;
	vi će te čuti mnogo kletvi od
	onih kojima je Knjiga bila dana prije vas
	i od mnogobožaca.

	Ako ste postojani,
	ako se bojite Boga:
	evo uistinu naputka potrebnog
	za poduzeti nešto.

187	Kad je Bog sklopio savez
	 s onima kojima je Knjiga bila dana,
	on im je rekao:
	« Vi će te nju objasniti ljudima,
	vi nju ne će te čuvati skrivenom, »
	ali oni su nju bacili iza leđa svojih;
	oni su ju prodali po niskoj cijeni.
	Koje li mrske trampe!

188	Ne računajte
	da oni koji se raduju onome što su učinili
	i koji vole bitri hvaljeni
	za ono što nisu učinili,
	ne računajte da će oni biti zaštićeni od kazne.
	Jedna bolna kazna njima je pripravljena.

189	Kraljevstvo nebesa i zemlje pripada Bogu.
	Bog je nadmoćan nad svakom stvari.

190	U stvaranju nebesa i zemlje,
	u izmjeni noći i dana,
	ima uistinu Znakova
	za one koji su nadareni razumom,
191	za one koji misle na Boga, uspravni, posjednuti ili ležeći
	i koji razmišljaju o stvaranju nebesa i zemlje.

	Gospode naš!
	Ti sve ovo nisi stvorio za ništa!
	Slava tebi!
	Sačuvaj nas od kazne Vatrom.

192	Gospode naš!
	Ti pokrivaš sramotama
	onoga koga uvodiš u Vatru.
	Nema branitelja za nepravedne.

193	Gospode naš!
	Mi smo čuli oglasitelja
	vikati da bi nas prizvao vjeri:
	« Vjerujte u svog Gospoda! »
	i mi smo povjerovali.

	Gospode naš!
	Oprosti nam naše grijehove!
	Izbriši naša loša djela!
	Pozovi nas k sebi s onima koji su dobri!

194	Gospode naš!
	Dodijeli nam
	  ono što si nam obećao glasom svojih proroka;
	ne rastuži nas na Dan Uskrsnuća.
	– Ti nikad nisi propustio svoje obećanje –

195	Njihov ih je Gospod uslišao:
	« Ja ne puštam da se izgubi djelo
	onoga koji, između vas, ljudi ili žena, postupa dobro.
	Vi ovisite jedni od drugih!

	Ja ću izbrisati dobra djela
	onima koji su izbjeglice,
	onima koji su bili istjerani iz svojih kuća,
	onima koji su patili na mom putu,
	onima koji su se borili i koji su bili ubijeni.

	Ja ću njih sigurno uvesti u Vrt
	gdje teku potoci.
	To će biti nagrada s Božje strane.»
	Bože!...
	Najljepša nagrada se nalazi kod njega!

196	Nek te komešanje nevjernika ove zemlje
	  ne uznemirava.
197	Kukavno kratkotrajno uživanje!
	Pakao će po tome biti njihovo boravište:
	kojeg li ogavnog ležaja za počinak!

198	Ali Vrtovi gdje teku potoci
	obećani su onima koji se boje svog Gospoda;
	oni će ondje boraviti kao bezsmrtnici;
	oni će biti gosti Božji.
	– Sve što se nalazi kod Boga
	bolje je za one koji su dobri. –

199	Ima, među ljudima Knjige,
	ljudi koji vjeruju u Boga,
	u ono što je vama bilo odkriveno,
	i u ono što je njima bilo odkriveno.
	Ponizni pred Bogom,
	oni nisu po niskoj cijeni prodali Znakove Božje.

	Oni će naći svoju naknadu
	  kod svog Gospodina.
	Bog je, uistinu, hitar u svojim računima.

200	O vi koji vjerujete!
	Budite strpljivi!
	Uzajamno se ohrabrujte u strpljivosti!
	
	Budite čvrsti!
	Bojte se Boga!
	Možda će te vi biti sretni!
