CHAPTER 2
THE COW
AL-BAQARAH ( البقرة )
286 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that mentions the story of The Cow designated by God for sacrificial offering, whereby He tested the sincerity of faith of the Children of Israel after their deliverance from Pharaoh. Its name is taken from the story of the cow (baqarah) mentioned in  ff. The surah comprises five principal sections, where the addressee shifts as the surah progresses. The first section ( ff.) mentions the revelation; the dynamics of belief and unbelief; and the story of Adam. The next section ( ff.) is an address to the Children of Israel, which highlights there shortcomings in the time of Moses and in Muḥammad’s own day. They are urged to serve God who has been so gracious to them (they are reminded that God created Adam and favoured him over the angels), the Children of Israel. This is followed ( ff.) by a final appeal to the Children of Israel to agree with the Muslims on the basis of the religion of Abraham, which predate the covenant with Moses.  ff. marks the beginning of the fourth section, which consists mainly of legal provisions for the newly-established community. The fifth and final section ( ff.) also contains some legislation, but the primary emphasis is on striving for God with your life and property. The last tree ayahs ( ff.), draw together a number of themes encountered earlier in the surah.«

The surah is also known as: The Heifer.

That is, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his Household. Throughout this translation whenever the pronoun ‘you’ refers to the second person singular in the Arabic and is meant as an address to the Prophet, it has been italicized (for similar reasons, also the related verbs) in order to distinguish it from cases where it stands for the second person plural. This is to avoid the use of ‘thee’ and ‘thou,’ which are, unfortunately, archaic in contemporary English.

wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning:

In it there will be chaste mates for them,
and they will remain in it [forever].

wa-ʾidh qultum yā-mūsā lan naṣbira ʿalā ṭaʿāmin wāḥidin fa-dʿu lanā rabbaka yukhrij lanā mimmā tunbitu l-ʾarḍu min baqlihā wa-qiththāʾihā wa-fūmihā wa-ʿadasihā wa-baṣalihā qāla ʾa-tastabdilūna lladhī huwa ʾadnā bi-lladhī huwa khayrun-i hbiṭū miṣran fa-ʾinna lakum mā saʾaltum wa-ḍuribat ʿalayhimu dh-dhillatu wa-l-maskanatu wa-bāʾū bi-ghaḍabin mina llāhi dhālika bi-ʾannahum kānū yakfurūna bi-ʾāyāti llāhi wa-yaqtulūna n-nabiyyīna bi-ghayri l-ḥaqqi dhālika bi-mā ʿaṣaw wa-kānū yaʿtadūna

TRANSLATION
And when you said, ‘O Moses,
‘We will not put up with one kind of food.
So invoke your Lord for us,
that He may bring forth for us
of that which the earth grows
—its greens and its cucumbers,
its garlic, its lentils, and its onions.’
He said, ‘Do you seek to replace
what is superior with that which is inferior?
Go down to any town
and you will indeed get what you ask for!’
So they were struck with abasement and poverty,
and they earned Allah’s wrath.
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
Indeed the faithful, the Jews,
the Christians, and the Sabaeans
—those of them who have faith in Allah
and the Last Day
and act righteously—
they shall have their reward near their Lord,
and they will have no fear,
nor will they grieve.

63

And when We took a pledge from you,
and raised the Mount above you [declaring],
‘Hold on with power to what We have given you,
and remember that which is in it,
so that you may be Godwary.’
64
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيتُم مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ ۖ فَلَولا فَضلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَرَحمَتُهُ لَكُنتُم مِنَ الخاسِرينَ

Then after that you turned away;
and were it not for Allah’s grace on you
and His mercy,
you would surely have been among the losers.

whereupon We said to them,
‘Be you spurned apes.’

So We made it an exemplary punishment

and an advice to the Godwary.

TRANSLATION
And when Moses said to his people,
‘Indeed Allah commands you to slaughter a cow,’
they said, ‘Do you take us in derision?’
He said, ‘I seek Allah’s protection
lest I should be one of the senseless!’

of a middle age.
Now do what you are commanded.’

He said, ‘He says, She is a cow
not broken to till the earth
or to water the tillage,
sound and without blemish.’
They said, ‘Now have you come up with the truth!’
And they slaughtered it,
though they were about not to do it.

TRANSLATION
Then your hearts hardened after that;
so they are like stones, or even harder.
For indeed there are some stones
from which streams gush forth,
and indeed there are some of them that split,
and water issues from them,
and indeed there are some of them that fall
for the fear of Allah.
And Allah is not oblivious of what you do.

TRANSLATION
Are you then eager that they should believe you,1 though a part of them would hear the word of Allah and then they would distort it2 after they had understood it, and they knew [what they were doing]?
This is an address to the muslims who were eager that the Jews should embrace Islam and follow the Prophet’s teachings.
Cf. ; , , for this characteristic of the Jews.

TRANSLATION
When they meet the faithful, they say, ‘We believe,’ and when they are alone with one another, they say, ‘Do you recount to them what Allah has revealed to you, so that they may argue with you therewith before your Lord? Do you not apply reason?’

TRANSLATION
And among them are the illiterate who know nothing of the Book except hearsay,1 and they only make conjectures.
That is, what they learnt through word of mouth from their scribes and priests, rather than from a direct knowledge of the scriptures. Or ‘hopes,’ or ‘lies.’
79

And when We took a pledge from the Children of Israel: ‘Worship no one but Allah, do good to parents, relatives, orphans, and the needy, and speak kindly to people, and maintain the prayer, and give the zakāt,’ you turned away, except a few of you, and you were disregardful.

And when We took a pledge from you: ‘You shall not shed your [own people’s] blood, and you shall not expel your folks from your homes,’ you pledged, and you testify1 [to this pledge of your ancestors].
Or ‘and you testified.’

TRANSLATION
Then there you were, killing your folks and expelling a part of your folks from their homes, backing one another against them in sin and aggression! And if they came to you as captives, you would ransom them, though their expulsion itself was forbidden you. What! Do you believe in part of the Book and defy another part? So what is the requital of those of you who do that except disgrace in the life of this world? And on the Day of Resurrection, they shall be consigned to the severest punishment. And Allah is not oblivious of what you do.

TRANSLATION
Certainly We gave Moses the Book, and followed him with the apostles, and We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, manifest proofs, and confirmed him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not that whenever an apostle brought you1 that which was not to your liking, you would act arrogantly; so you would impugn a part [of them], and slay a[nother] part?
That is, the Jews.
88
وَقالوا قُلوبُنا غُلفٌ ۚ بَل لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِكُفرِهِم فَقَليلًا ما يُؤمِنونَ

TRANSLATION
And they say, ‘Our hearts are uncircumcised.’1 Rather Allah has cursed them for their unfaith, so few of them have faith.
Uncircumcised: unconverted, heathen, faithless; cf. . In Leviticus 26.41, it is said of the Israelites, ‘Then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin, I will remember my covenant with Jacob … ,’ and in Jeremiah 9.26: ‘Even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart … .’ There are other similar expressions and phrases in the Bible: “uncircumcised lips” (Exodus 6.12 and 6.30); “their ear is uncircumcised and they cannot hearken” (Jeremiah 6.10); “uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh” (Ezekiel 44.7, 9); “uncircumcised in heart and ears” (Acts 7.51), “putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ” (Colossians 2.11).

TRANSLATION
And when there came to them a Book from Allah, confirming that which is with them —and earlier they would pray for victory over the pagans— so when there came to them what they recognized, they defied it. So may the curse of Allah be on the faithless!

90
بِئسَمَا اشتَرَوا بِهِ أَنفُسَهُم أَن يَكفُروا بِما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بَغيًا أَن يُنَزِّلَ اللَّهُ مِن فَضلِهِ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ ۖ فَباءوا بِغَضَبٍ عَلىٰ غَضَبٍ ۚ وَلِلكافِرينَ عَذابٌ مُهينٌ

TRANSLATION
Evil is that for which they have sold their souls, by defying what Allah has sent down, out of envy, that Allah should bestow His grace on any of His servants that He wishes. Thus they earned wrath upon wrath, and there is a humiliating punishment for the faithless.

91

TRANSLATION
And when they are told, ‘Believe in what Allah has sent down,’ they say, ‘We believe in what was sent down to us,’ and they disbelieve what is besides it, though it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say, ‘Then why would you kill the prophets of Allah formerly, should you be faithful?’

TRANSLITERATION
wa-la-qad jāʾakum mūsā bi-l-bayyināti thumma ttakhadhtumu l-ʿijla min baʿdihī wa-ʾantum ẓālimūna

TRANSLATION
Certainly Moses brought you manifest proofs, but then you took up the Calf in his absence, and you were wrongdoers.

93
وَإِذ أَخَذنا ميثاقَكُم وَرَفَعنا فَوقَكُمُ الطّورَ خُذوا ما آتَيناكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسمَعوا ۖ قالوا سَمِعنا وَعَصَينا وَأُشرِبوا في قُلوبِهِمُ العِجلَ بِكُفرِهِم ۚ قُل بِئسَما يَأمُرُكُم بِهِ إيمانُكُم إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

TRANSLATION
And when We took covenant with you and raised the Mount above you [declaring], ‘Hold on with power to what We have given you, and listen!’ They said, ‘We hear, and disobey,’ and their hearts had been imbued with [the love of] the Calf, due to their faithlessness. Say, ‘Evil is that to which your faith prompts you, should you be faithful!’

94
قُل إِن كانَت لَكُمُ الدّارُ الآخِرَةُ عِندَ اللَّهِ خالِصَةً مِن دونِ النّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا المَوتَ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Say, ‘If the abode of the Hereafter with Allah were exclusively for you, and not for other people, then long for death, should you be truthful.’

95

TRANSLITERATION
wa-lan yatamannawhu ʾabadan bi-mā qaddamat ʾaydīhim wa-llāhu ʿalīmun bi-ẓ-ẓālimīna

TRANSLATION
But they will not long for it ever because of what their hands have sent ahead,1 and Allah knows best the wrongdoers.
That is, to the scene of judgement and retribution on the Day of Resurrection. Or ‘prepared,’ ‘made ready,’ or ‘committed,’ ‘perpetrated.’
96
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُم أَحرَصَ النّاسِ عَلىٰ حَياةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذينَ أَشرَكوا ۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُم لَو يُعَمَّرُ أَلفَ سَنَةٍ وَما هُوَ بِمُزَحزِحِهِ مِنَ العَذابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بَصيرٌ بِما يَعمَلونَ

TRANSLATION
Surely, you will find them the greediest for life, of all people ⎯even the idolaters. Each of them is eager to live a thousand years, though it would not deliver him from the punishment, were he to live [that long]. And Allah sees best what they do.

97

TRANSLATION
Say, ‘Whoever is an enemy of Gabriel [should know that] it is he who has brought it down on your heart with the will of Allah, confirming what has been [revealed] before it, and as a guidance and good news to the faithful.’

98
مَن كانَ عَدُوًّا لِلَّهِ وَمَلائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبريلَ وَميكالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِلكافِرينَ

[Say,] ‘Whoever is an enemy of Allah, His angels and His apostles, and Gabriel and Michael, [let him know that] Allah is indeed the enemy of the faithless.’

TRANSLITERATION
ʾa-wa-kullamā ʿāhadū ʿahdan nabadhahū farīqun minhum bal ʾaktharuhum lā yuʾminūna

TRANSLATION
Is it not that whenever they made a covenant, a part of them would cast it away? Rather the majority of them do not have faith.

101
وَلَمّا جاءَهُم رَسولٌ مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِما مَعَهُم نَبَذَ فَريقٌ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ كِتابَ اللَّهِ وَراءَ ظُهورِهِم كَأَنَّهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

TRANSLATION
And when there came to them an apostle from Allah, confirming that which is with them, a part of those who were given the Book cast the Book of Allah behind their back, as if they did not know [that it is Allah’s Book].

102

TRANSLATION
And they followed what the devils pursued during Solomon’s reign1 —and Solomon did not turn faithless, but it was the devils who were faithless— teaching the people magic, and what was sent down to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt, and they would not teach anyone without telling [him], ‘We are only a test,2 so do not be faithless.’ But they would learn from those two that with which they would cause a split between man and his wife —though they could not harm anyone with it except with Allah’s leave. And they would learn that which would harm them and bring them no benefit; though they certainly knew that anyone who buys it has no share in the Hereafter. Surely, evil is that for which they sold their souls; had they known!
Or ‘they followed what the devils recited during Solomon’s reign.’ Or ‘they followed the lies the devils uttered against Solomon’s reign.’
Or ‘temptation.’
103
وَلَو أَنَّهُم آمَنوا وَاتَّقَوا لَمَثوبَةٌ مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ خَيرٌ ۖ لَو كانوا يَعلَمونَ

Had they been faithful and Godwary, the reward from Allah would have been better; had they known!
104

yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā taqūlū rāʿinā wa-qūlū nẓurnā wa-smaʿū wa-li-l-kāfirīna ʿadhābun ʾalīmun

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! Do not say Raʿinā, but say Unzurnā, and listen!1 And there is a painful punishment for the faithless.
The Jews in ridiculing the Prophet would say rāʿinā [meaning, ‘have regard for us’] with a change of accent turning it into another word which made it a term of reproach. The muslims are told to say unzurnā [meaning, ‘give us a little respite’] instead while addressing the Prophet (ṣ), as there is no room in this term for such a distortion.
105

TRANSLATION
Neither the faithless from among the People of the Book, nor the idolaters, like that any good be showered on you from your Lord; but Allah singles out for His mercy whomever He wishes, and Allah is dispenser of a mighty grace.
106
۞ ما نَنسَخ مِن آيَةٍ أَو نُنسِها نَأتِ بِخَيرٍ مِنها أَو مِثلِها ۗ أَلَم تَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

TRANSLATION
For any verse that We abrogate or remove from memories, We bring another which is better than it, or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?

107
أَلَم تَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

TRANSLATION
Do you not know that to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? And besides Allah you do not have any guardian or any helper.
108
أَم تُريدونَ أَن تَسأَلوا رَسولَكُم كَما سُئِلَ موسىٰ مِن قَبلُ ۗ وَمَن يَتَبَدَّلِ الكُفرَ بِالإيمانِ فَقَد ضَلَّ سَواءَ السَّبيلِ

TRANSLATION
Would you question your Apostle as Moses was questioned formerly? Whoever changes faith for unfaith certainly strays from the right way.

109
وَدَّ كَثيرٌ مِن أَهلِ الكِتابِ لَو يَرُدّونَكُم مِن بَعدِ إيمانِكُم كُفّارًا حَسَدًا مِن عِندِ أَنفُسِهِم مِن بَعدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الحَقُّ ۖ فَاعفوا وَاصفَحوا حَتّىٰ يَأتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمرِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

TRANSLATION
Many of the People of the Book are eager to turn you into unbelievers after your faith, out of their inner envy, [and] after the truth had become manifest to them. Yet excuse [them] and forbear until Allah issues His edict. Indeed Allah has power over all things.

110
وَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ ۚ وَما تُقَدِّموا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِن خَيرٍ تَجِدوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ

And maintain the prayer and give the zakāt. Any good that you send ahead for your souls, you shall find it with Allah. Indeed Allah sees best what you do.

TRANSLATION
And they say, ‘No one shall enter paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian.’ Those are their [false] hopes! Say, ‘Produce your evidence, should you be truthful.’

112
بَلىٰ مَن أَسلَمَ وَجهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ

Certainly whoever submits his will to Allah and is virtuous, he shall have his reward near his Lord, and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
113

TRANSLATION
The Jews say, ‘The Christians stand on nothing,’ and the Christians say, ‘The Jews stand on nothing,’ though they follow the [same] Book. So said those who had no knowledge, [words] similar to what they say. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that about which they used to differ.
114

TRANSLATION
Who is a greater wrongdoer than him who denies access to the mosques of Allah lest His Name be celebrated therein, and tries to ruin them? Such ones may not enter them, except in fear. There is disgrace for them in this world, and there is for them a great punishment in the Hereafter.
115

TRANSLATION
Those who have no knowledge say, ‘Why does not Allah speak to us, or come to us a sign?’ So said those who were before them, [words] similar to what they say. Alike are their hearts. We have certainly made the signs clear for a people who have certainty.

Never will the Jews be pleased with you, nor the Christians, unless you followed their creed.

And when his Lord tested Abraham with certain words, and he fulfilled them, He said, ‘I am making you the Imam1 of mankind.’ Said he, ‘And from among my descendants?’ He said, ‘My pledge does not extend to the unjust.’
That is, the spiritual and temporal guide and leader of mankind. For other Qurʾānic occurrences of this term, see ; ; ; ; .

وَإِذ جَعَلنَا البَيتَ مَثابَةً لِلنّاسِ وَأَمنًا وَاتَّخِذوا مِن مَقامِ إِبراهيمَ مُصَلًّى ۖ وَعَهِدنا إِلىٰ إِبراهيمَ وَإِسماعيلَ أَن طَهِّرا بَيتِيَ لِلطّائِفينَ وَالعاكِفينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجودِ

wa-ʾidh jaʿalnā l-bayta mathābatan li-n-nāsi wa-ʾamnan wa-ttakhidhū min maqāmi ʾibrāhīma muṣallan wa-ʿahidnā ʾilā ʾibrāhīma wa-ʾismāʿīla ʾan ṭahhirā baytiya li-ṭ-ṭāʾifīna wa-l-ʿākifīna wa-r-rukkaʿi s-sujūdi

TRANSLATION
And [remember] when We made the House a place of reward1 for mankind and a sanctuary, [declaring], ‘Take the venue of prayer from Abraham’s Station.’2 We charged Abraham and Ishmael [with its upkeep, saying], ‘Purify My House for those who go around it, [for] those who make it a retreat and [for] those who bow and prostrate.’
Or ‘confluence,’ or ‘resort,’ depending on whether the term mathābah is taken to mean a place of spiritual reward, a place of gathering, or a place to which one frequently returns.
Abraham’s Station (maqām Ibrāhīm) is a spot at a few meters’ distance from the Kaʿbah where a stone relic is kept that bears the footprint of Abraham, behind which the pilgrims offer the prayer of the ṭawāf.

TRANSLATION
And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord, make this a secure town, and provide its people with fruits —such of them as have faith in Allah and the Last Day,’ He said, ‘As for him who is faithless, I will provide for him [too] for a short time, then I will shove him toward the punishment of the Fire, and it is an evil destination.’

127

TRANSLATION
And who will [ever] renounce Abraham’s creed except one who fools himself? We certainly chose him in the [present] world, and in the Hereafter he will indeed be among the Righteous.1
The station of ‘the Righteous’ referred to in this verse is one which even Abraham will attain in the Hereafter. Cf. . Otherwise all prophets are, of course, righteous; see , ; ; , ; .

TRANSLATION
The foolish among the people1 will say, ‘What has turned them away from the qiblah they were following?’2 Say, ‘To Allah belong the east and the west. He guides whomever He wishes to a straight path.’
That is, the Jews or the hypocrites amongst muslims, or both.
The muslims first used to pray facing in the direction of Bayt al-Maqdis. This and the verses that follow pertain to the change of the qiblah, or the direction faced during prayer, from Quds to the Kaʿbah, in Makkah.

TRANSLATION
Thus We have made you a middle nation that you may be witnesses to the people, and that the Apostle may be a witness to you.
And We did not appoint the qiblah you were following but that We may ascertain those who follow the Apostle from those who turn back on their heels. It was indeed a hard thing except for those whom Allah has guided. And Allah would not let your prayers go to waste.1 Indeed Allah is most kind and merciful to mankind.
‘Īmān’ here means prayers. Allah reassures the faithful that the prayers they have offered earlier facing towards Quds will not be wasted by the change of qiblah.

Even if you bring those who were given the Book every [kind of] sign,1 they will not follow your qiblah. Nor shall you follow their qiblah, nor will any of them follow the qiblah of the other. And if you follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you will indeed be one of the wrongdoers.
That is, every kind of miracle.

۞ إِنَّ الصَّفا وَالمَروَةَ مِن شَعائِرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَن حَجَّ البَيتَ أَوِ اعتَمَرَ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِما ۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شاكِرٌ عَليمٌ

TRANSLATION
Indeed Safa and Marwah are among Allah’s sacraments. So whoever makes ḥajj to the House, or performs the ʿumrah, there is no sin upon him to circuit between them. Should anyone do good of his own accord, then Allah is indeed appreciative, all-knowing.

159

TRANSLATION
Indeed those who conceal what We have sent down of manifest proofs and guidance, after We have clarified it in the Book for mankind, —they shall be cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers,

160
إِلَّا الَّذينَ تابوا وَأَصلَحوا وَبَيَّنوا فَأُولٰئِكَ أَتوبُ عَلَيهِم ۚ وَأَنَا التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ

TRANSLATION
Indeed those who turn faithless and die while they are faithless, —it is they on whom shall be the curse of Allah, the angels and all mankind.

TRANSLATION
Indeed in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, and the ships that sail at sea with profit to men, and the water that Allah sends down from the sky —with which He revives the earth after its death, and scatters therein every kind of animal— and the changing of the winds, and the clouds disposed between the sky and the earth, are surely signs for a people who apply reason.

165

TRANSLATION
Among the people are those who set up compeers besides Allah, loving them as if loving Allah —but the faithful have a more ardent love for Allah— though the wrongdoers will see, when they sight the punishment, that power, altogether, belongs to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment.

166
إِذ تَبَرَّأَ الَّذينَ اتُّبِعوا مِنَ الَّذينَ اتَّبَعوا وَرَأَوُا العَذابَ وَتَقَطَّعَت بِهِمُ الأَسبابُ

TRANSLATION
and when the followers will say, ‘Had there been another turn for us, we would disown them as they disown us [now]!’ Thus shall Allah show them their deeds as regrets for themselves, and they shall not leave the Fire.

168

TRANSLATION
When they are told, ‘Follow what Allah has sent down,’ they say, ‘We will rather follow what we have found our fathers following.’ What, even if their fathers neither applied any reason nor were guided?!

171
وَمَثَلُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا كَمَثَلِ الَّذي يَنعِقُ بِما لا يَسمَعُ إِلّا دُعاءً وَنِداءً ۚ صُمٌّ بُكمٌ عُميٌ فَهُم لا يَعقِلونَ

TRANSLATION
The parable of the faithless is that of someone who shouts after that which does not hear [anything] except a call and cry: deaf, dumb, and blind, they do not apply reason.

TRANSLATION
He has forbidden you only carrion, blood, the flesh of the swine, and that which has been offered to other than Allah. But should someone be compelled, without being rebellious or aggressive,1 there shall be no sin upon him. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
According to some exegetical traditions, bāghī refers to one who rebels against a just ruler (according to another interpretation, to a hunter), and ʿādī refers to a thief or highwayman (see Ṭabarī, Rāzī, al-Tafsīr al-Burhān). Cf. ; .

TRANSLATION
Indeed those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and sell it for a paltry gain —they do not take in, into their bellies, [anything] except fire, and Allah shall not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor shall He purify them, and there is a painful punishment for them.

175
أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ اشتَرَوُا الضَّلالَةَ بِالهُدىٰ وَالعَذابَ بِالمَغفِرَةِ ۚ فَما أَصبَرَهُم عَلَى النّارِ

They are the ones who bought error for guidance, and punishment for pardon: how patient of them to face the Fire!1

That is so because Allah has sent down the Book with the truth, and those who differ about the Book are surely in extreme defiance.

TRANSLATION
Piety is not to turn your faces to the east or the west; rather, piety is [personified by] those who have faith in Allah and the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets, and who give their wealth, for the love of Him,1 to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveller and the beggar, and for [the freeing of] the slaves, and maintain the prayer and give the zakāt, and those who fulfill their covenants, when they pledge themselves, and those who are patient in stress and distress,2 and in the heat of battle. They are the ones who are true [to their covenant], and it is they who are the Godwary.
Or ‘despite their love of it.’ Cf. .
That is, in poverty and sickness.

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! Retribution is prescribed for you regarding the slain: freeman for freeman, slave for slave, and female for female. But if one is granted any extenuation by his brother,1 let the follow up [for the blood-money] be honourable, and let the payment to him be with kindness. That is a remission from your Lord and a mercy; and should anyone transgress after that, there shall be a painful punishment for him.
That is, by the heir of the victim.

Prescribed for you, when death approaches any of you and he leaves behind any property, is that he make a bequest for his parents and relatives, in an honourable manner, —an obligation on the Godwary.

TRANSLATION
You are permitted, on the night of the fast, to go into your wives: they are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them. Allah knew that you used to betray yourselves, so He pardoned you and excused you. So now consort with them, and seek what Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white streak becomes manifest to you from the dark streak at the crack of dawn.1 Then complete the fast until nightfall, and do not consort with them while you dwell in confinement in the mosques. These are Allah’s bounds, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah clarify His signs for mankind so that they may be Godwary.
That is, until the first appearance of the dawn.

TRANSLATION
They question you concerning the new moons. Say, ‘They are timekeeping signs for the people and [for the sake of] ḥajj.’ It is not piety that you come into houses from their rear; rather piety is [personified by] one who is Godwary, and come into houses from their doors, and be wary of Allah, so that you may be felicitous.

TRANSLATION
And kill them wherever you confront them, and expel them from where they expelled you, for faithlessness1 is graver than killing. But do not fight them near the Holy Mosque unless they fight you therein; but if they fight you, kill them; such is the requital of the faithless.

TRANSLATION
Complete the ḥajj and the ʿumrah for Allah’s sake, and if you are prevented, then [make] such [sacrificial] offering as is feasible. And do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its [assigned] place. But should any of you be sick, or have a hurt in his head,1 let the atonement be by fasting, or charity, or sacrifice. And when you have security —for those who enjoy [release from the restrictions] by virtue of the ʿumrah until the ḥajj— let the offering be such as is feasible. As for someone who cannot afford [the offering], let him fast three days during the ḥajj and seven when you return; that is [a period of] ten complete [days]. That is for someone whose family does not dwell by the Holy Mosque. And be wary of Allah, and know that Allah is severe in retribution.
Such as a wound on the scalp.

The ḥajj [season] is in months well-known; so whoever decides on ḥajj [pilgrimage] therein, [should know that] there is to be no sexual contact, vicious talk, or disputing during the ḥajj. And whatever good you do, Allah knows it. And take provision, for indeed the best provision is Godwariness. So be wary of Me, O you who possess intellects!

Do you suppose that you shall enter paradise though there has not yet come to you the like of [what befell]those who went before you?

TRANSLATION
Warfare has been prescribed for you, though it is repulsive to you. Yet it may be that you dislike something while it is good for you, and it may be that you love something while it is bad for you, and Allah knows and you do not know.

TRANSLATION
They ask you concerning warfare in the holy month. Say, ‘It is an outrageous thing to fight in it, but to keep [people] from Allah’s way, and to be unfaithful to Him, and [to keep people from] the Holy Mosque, and to expel its people from it are more outrageous with Allah. And faithlessness is graver than killing. And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you away from your religion, if they can. And whoever of you turns away from his religion and dies faithless —they are the ones whose works have failed in this world and the Hereafter. They shall be the inmates of the Fire, and they shall remain in it [forever].

Indeed those who have become faithful and those who have migrated and waged jihād in the way of Allah —it is they who expect Allah’s mercy, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

TRANSLATION
They ask you concerning wine and gambling. Say, ‘There is a great sin in both of them, and some profits for the people, but their sinfulness outweighs their profit.’ And they ask you as to what they should spend. Say, ‘All that is surplus.’ Thus does Allah clarify His signs for you so that you may reflect

TRANSLATION
about the world and the Hereafter. And they ask you concerning the orphans. Say, ‘It is better to set right their affairs,1 and if you intermingle with them, they are of course your brothers: Allah knows the one who causes corruption from the one who brings about reform, and had Allah wished He would have put you to hardship.’ Indeed Allah is all-mighty, all-wise.
That is, it is better to manage their affairs than to stand aloof due to the fear of mishandling them. Cf. .

TRANSLATION
Do not marry idolatresses until they embrace faith. A faithful slave girl is better than an idolatress, though she should impress you. And do not marry [your daughters] to idolaters until they embrace faith. A faithful slave is better than an idolater, though he should impress you. Those invite [others] to the Fire, but Allah invites to paradise and pardon, by His will, and He clarifies His signs for the people so that they may take admonition.

TRANSLATION
They ask you concerning [intercourse during] menses. Say, ‘It is hurtful.’1 So keep away from wives during the menses,2 and do not approach them till they are clean. And when they become clean, go into them as Allah has commanded you. Indeed Allah loves the penitent and He loves those who keep clean.
Or ‘offensive.’
That is, ‘refrain from sexual intercourse.’

TRANSLATION
For those who forswear their wives1 shall be a waiting for four months. And if they recant, Allah is indeed all-forgiving, all-merciful.
That is, by pronouncing īlā, a pre-Islamic practice which allowed the husband to take an oath to refrain from sexual relations with his wife, which left the wife in a state of uncertainty for an indefinite period. According to this verse, the husband must decide within four months either to restore the marriage or to divorce her.

TRANSLATION
Divorced women shall wait by themselves for three periods of purity [after menses], 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; and their husbands have a greater right to restore them during this [duration], if they desire reconcilement. The wives have rights similar to the obligations upon them, in accordance with honourable norms; and men have a degree above them, and Allah is all-mighty and all-wise.

TRANSLATION
[Revocable] divorce may be only twice; then [let there be] either an honourable retention, or a kindly release. And it is not lawful for you to take back anything from what you have given them,1 unless the couple fear that they may not maintain Allah’s bounds. So if you fear they would not maintain Allah’s bounds, there is no sin upon them2 in what she may give to secure her release. These are Allah’s bounds, so do not transgress them, and whoever transgresses the bounds of Allah —it is they who are the wrongdoers.
That is, to the wives.
That is, the husband and wife.

TRANSLATION
And if he divorces her, she will not be lawful for him until she marries a husband other than him, and if he divorces her,1 there is no sin upon them to remarry if they think that they can maintain Allah’s bounds. These are Allah’s bounds, which He clarifies for a people who have knowledge.
That is, after she has been divorced by the second husband, the two of them may remarry if they think they can maintain a healthy marital relationship.

When you divorce women and they complete their term, then either retain them honourably or release them honourably, and do not retain them maliciously in order that you may transgress; and whoever does that certainly wrongs himself.

Mothers shall suckle their children for two full years, —that for such as desire to complete the suckling— and on the father shall be their maintenance and clothing, in accordance with honourable norms.

And if the couple desire to wean, with mutual consent and consultation, there will be no sin upon them.

There is no sin upon you in what you may hint in proposing to [recently widowed] women, or what you may secretly cherish within your hearts.

TRANSLATION
There is no sin upon you if you divorce women while you have not yet touched them or settled a dowry for them. Yet provide for them —the well-off according to his capacity, and the poorly-off according to his capacity— with a sustenance that is honourable, an obligation on the virtuous.

237
وَإِن طَلَّقتُموهُنَّ مِن قَبلِ أَن تَمَسّوهُنَّ وَقَد فَرَضتُم لَهُنَّ فَريضَةً فَنِصفُ ما فَرَضتُم إِلّا أَن يَعفونَ أَو يَعفُوَ الَّذي بِيَدِهِ عُقدَةُ النِّكاحِ ۚ وَأَن تَعفوا أَقرَبُ لِلتَّقوىٰ ۚ وَلا تَنسَوُا الفَضلَ بَينَكُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ

TRANSLATION
And if you divorce them before you touch them, and you have already settled a dowry for them, then [pay them] half of what you have settled, unless they forgo it, or someone in whose hand is the marriage tie forgoes it.1 And to forgo is nearer to Godwariness; so do not forget graciousness among yourselves. Indeed Allah sees best what you do.
That is, the wife’s guardian or the husband. The bride’s guardian may forgo the half of the dowry which is her right to receive, or the husband may refrain from demanding half of the dowry he has already paid.

TRANSLATION
Be watchful of your prayers, and [especially] the middle prayer,1 and stand in obedience2 to Allah;
That is, the ẓuhr (noon) prayer, according to several traditions narrated from the Imams of the Prophet’s Household, as well as many traditions narrated in the Sunnī sources (see al-Tafsīr al-Burhān, al-Ṭabarī’s Jāmi‘ al-Bayān). According to other interpretations, the phrase ‘the middle prayer’ refers to the ʿaṣr (afternoon), maghrib (sunset) or fajr (dawn) prayer.
Or ‘stand humbly’ (or ‘prayerfully,’ ‘devoutly’) before Allah.
239

Those of you who die leaving wives shall bequeath for their wives providing for a year, without turning them out; but if they leave, there is no sin upon you in respect of what they may do with themselves observing honourable norms. And Allah is all-mighty, all-wise.

TRANSLATION
Have you not regarded those who left their homes in thousands, apprehensive of death, whereupon Allah said to them, ‘Die,’ then He revived them? Indeed Allah is gracious to mankind, but most people do not give thanks.

TRANSLATION
Have you not regarded the elite of the Israelites after Moses, when they said to their prophet, ‘Appoint for us a king, that we may fight in the way of Allah.’ He said, ‘May it not be that you will not fight if fighting were prescribed for you?’ They said, ‘Why should we not fight in the way of Allah, when we have been expelled from our homes and [separated from] our children?’ So when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned back except a few of them, and Allah knows best the wrongdoers.

TRANSLATION
Their prophet said to them, ‘Allah has appointed Saul as king for you.’ They said, ‘How can he have kingship over us, when we have a greater right to kingship than him, as he has not been given ample wealth?’ He said, ‘Indeed Allah has chosen him over you, and enhanced him vastly in knowledge and physique, and Allah gives His kingdom to whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.’

248

TRANSLATION
Their prophet said to them, ‘Indeed the sign of his kingship shall be that the Ark will come to you, bearing tranquillity from your Lord and the relics left behind by the House of Moses and the House of Aaron, borne by the angels. There is indeed a sign in that for you, should you be faithful.’

TRANSLATION
As Saul set out with the troops, he said, ‘Allah will test you with a stream: anyone who drinks from it will not belong to me, but those who do not drink from it will belong to me, barring someone who draws a scoop with his hand.’ But they drank from it, [all] except a few of them. So when he crossed it along with the faithful who were with him, they said, ‘We have no strength today against Goliath and his troops.’ Those who were certain they will encounter Allah said, ‘How many a small party has overcome a larger party by Allah’s will! And Allah is with the patient.’

Thus they routed them with Allah’s will, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him whatever He liked. Were it not for Allah’s repelling the people by means of one another, the earth would surely have been corrupted; but Allah is gracious to the world’s creatures.

These are the apostles, some of whom We gave an advantage over others: of them are those to whom Allah spoke, and some of them He raised in rank, and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, manifest proofs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah wished, those who succeeded them would not have fought each other after the manifest proofs had come to them. But they differed. So there were among them those who had faith and there were among them those who were faithless, and had Allah wished, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires.

Allah—there is no god except Him— is the Living One, the All-sustainer. Neither drowsiness befalls Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that may intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows that which is before them and that which is behind them, and they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge except what He wishes. His seat embraces the heavens and the earth, and He is not wearied by their preservation, and He is the All-exalted, the All-supreme.

There is no compulsion in religion: rectitude has become distinct from error. So one who disavows the Rebels1 and has faith in Allah has held fast to the firmest handle for which there is no breaking; and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.
The word ṭāghūt has been said to refer to Satan (also called the ‘rebel angel’ and ‘rebel against God’), idol, soothsayer, magician, rebellious humans and jinn, and the carnal soul. Cf. , , ; ; .

Have you not regarded him1 who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him kingdom? When Abraham said, ‘My Lord is He who gives life and brings death,’ he replied, ‘I [too] give life and bring death.’ Abraham said, ‘Indeed Allah brings the sun from the east; now you bring it from the west.’ Thereat the faithless one was dumbfounded. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot.
That is, Nimrod.

Or him1 who came upon a township as it lay fallen on its trellises. He said, ‘How will Allah revive this after its death?!’ So Allah made him die for a hundred years, then He resurrected him. He said, ‘How long have you remained?’ Said he, ‘I have remained a day or part of a day.’ He said, ‘Rather you have remained a hundred years. Now look at your food and drink which have not rotted! Then look at your ass! [This was done] that We may make you a sign for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them and then clothe them with flesh!’ When it became evident to him, he said, ‘I know that Allah has power over all things.’
That is, Ezra (ʿUzayr).

وَإِذ قالَ إِبراهيمُ رَبِّ أَرِني كَيفَ تُحيِي المَوتىٰ ۖ قالَ أَوَلَم تُؤمِن ۖ قالَ بَلىٰ وَلٰكِن لِيَطمَئِنَّ قَلبي ۖ قالَ فَخُذ أَربَعَةً مِنَ الطَّيرِ فَصُرهُنَّ إِلَيكَ ثُمَّ اجعَل عَلىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنهُنَّ جُزءًا ثُمَّ ادعُهُنَّ يَأتينَكَ سَعيًا ۚ وَاعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ

TRANSLATION
And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord! Show me how You revive the dead,’ He said, ‘Do you not believe?’ He said, ‘Yes indeed, but in order that my heart may be at rest.’ He said, ‘Take four of the birds. Then cut them into pieces, and place a part of them on every mountain, then call them; they will come to you hastening. And know that Allah is all-mighty and all-wise.’
261

TRANSLATION
The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is that of a grain which grows seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. Allah enhances severalfold whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.

262
الَّذينَ يُنفِقونَ أَموالَهُم في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ لا يُتبِعونَ ما أَنفَقوا مَنًّا وَلا أَذًى ۙ لَهُم أَجرُهُم عِندَ رَبِّهِم وَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ

TRANSLATION
Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and then do not follow up what they have spent with reproaches1 and affronts, they shall have their reward near their Lord, and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
More exactly, with reproachful reminders of favours done. Cf.  below.
263
۞ قَولٌ مَعروفٌ وَمَغفِرَةٌ خَيرٌ مِن صَدَقَةٍ يَتبَعُها أَذًى ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حَليمٌ
TRANSLITERATION
qawlun maʿrūfun wa-maghfiratun khayrun min ṣadaqatin yatbaʿuhā ʾadhan wa-llāhu ghaniyyun ḥalīmun

TRANSLATION
An honourable word with pardon is better than a charity followed by affront. Allah is all-sufficient, most forbearing.

264

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! Do not render your charities void by reproaches and affronts, like those who spend their wealth to be seen by people and have no faith in Allah and the Last Day. Their parable1 is that of a rock covered with soil: a downpour strikes it, leaving it bare. They have no power over anything of what they have earned, and Allah does not guide the faithless lot.
Or ‘example.’
265
وَمَثَلُ الَّذينَ يُنفِقونَ أَموالَهُمُ ابتِغاءَ مَرضاتِ اللَّهِ وَتَثبيتًا مِن أَنفُسِهِم كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍ بِرَبوَةٍ أَصابَها وابِلٌ فَآتَت أُكُلَها ضِعفَينِ فَإِن لَم يُصِبها وابِلٌ فَطَلٌّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ

TRANSLATION
The parable of those who spend their wealth seeking Allah’s pleasure and to confirm themselves, is that of a garden on a hillside: the downpour strikes it, whereupon it brings forth its fruit twofold; and if it is not a downpour that strikes it, then a shower, and Allah sees best what you do.

266
أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُم أَن تَكونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِن نَخيلٍ وَأَعنابٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ لَهُ فيها مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَراتِ وَأَصابَهُ الكِبَرُ وَلَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفاءُ فَأَصابَها إِعصارٌ فيهِ نارٌ فَاحتَرَقَت ۗ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآياتِ لَعَلَّكُم تَتَفَكَّرونَ

TRANSLATION
Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees and vines, with streams running in it, with all kinds of fruit for him therein, and old age were to strike him while he has weakly offspring; whereupon a fiery hurricane were to hit it, whereat it lies burnt? Thus does Allah clarify His signs for you so that you may reflect.

267

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! Spend of the good things you have earned, and of what We bring forth for you from the earth, and do not be of the mind to give the bad part of it, for you yourselves would not take it, unless you overlook it. And know that Allah is all-sufficient, all-laudable.

268

TRANSLATION
Satan frightens you of poverty and prompts you to [commit] indecent acts. But Allah promises you His forgiveness and grace, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.

269

TRANSLATION
He gives wisdom to whomever He wishes, and he who is given wisdom, is certainly given an abundant good. But none takes admonition except those who possess intellect.

270

Whatever charity you may give, or vows that you may vow, Allah indeed knows it, and the wrongdoers have no helpers.

271
إِن تُبدُوا الصَّدَقاتِ فَنِعِمّا هِيَ ۖ وَإِن تُخفوها وَتُؤتوهَا الفُقَراءَ فَهُوَ خَيرٌ لَكُم ۚ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنكُم مِن سَيِّئَاتِكُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرٌ

TRANSLATION
If you disclose your charities, that is well, but if you hide them and give them to the poor, that is better for you, and it will atone for some of your misdeeds, and Allah is well aware of what you do.

272
۞ لَيسَ عَلَيكَ هُداهُم وَلٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهدي مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَما تُنفِقوا مِن خَيرٍ فَلِأَنفُسِكُم ۚ وَما تُنفِقونَ إِلَّا ابتِغاءَ وَجهِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَما تُنفِقوا مِن خَيرٍ يُوَفَّ إِلَيكُم وَأَنتُم لا تُظلَمونَ

TRANSLATION
It is not up to you to guide them; rather it is Allah who guides whomever He wishes. And whatever wealth you spend, it is for your own benefit, as you do not spend but to seek Allah’s pleasure, and whatever wealth you spend will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.

TRANSLATION
[The charities are] for the poor who are straitened in the way of Allah,1 not capable of moving about in the land [for trade]. The unaware suppose them to be well-off because of their reserve. You recognize them by their mark; they do not ask the people importunately. And whatever wealth you may spend, Allah indeed knows it.
That is, due to their engagement in jihād, or in learning and teaching Islamic sciences or martial arts, or due to the rigours of spiritual wayfaring.
274

TRANSLATION
Those who exact usury will not stand but like one deranged by the Devil’s touch. That is because they say, ‘Trade is just like usury.’ While Allah has allowed trade and forbidden usury. Whoever, on receiving advice from his Lord, relinquishes [usury], shall keep [the gains of] what is past, and his matter shall rest with Allah. As for those who resume, they shall be the inmates of the Fire and they shall remain in it [forever].

TRANSLATION
O you who have faith! When you contract a loan for a specified term, write it down. Let a writer write between you with honesty, and let not the writer refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write, and let the one who incurs the debt dictate, and let him be wary of Allah, his Lord, and not diminish anything from it. But if the debtor be feeble-minded, or weak, or incapable of dictating himself, then let his guardian dictate with honesty, and take as witness two witnesses from your men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women —from those whom you approve as witnesses— so that if one of the two defaults the other will remind her. The witnesses must not refuse when they are called, and do not consider it wearisome to write it down, whether it be a big or a small sum, [as being lent] until its term. That is more just with Allah and more upright in respect to testimony, and the likeliest way to avoid doubt, unless it is an on the spot deal you transact between yourselves, in which case there is no sin upon you not to write it. Take witnesses when you make a deal, and let no harm be done to writer or witness, and if you did that, it would be sinful of you. Be wary of Allah and Allah shall teach you, and Allah has knowledge of all things.

If you are on a journey and cannot find a writer, then a retained pledge [shall suffice]. And if one of you entrusts to another, let him who is trusted deliver his trust, and let him be wary of Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony; anyone who conceals it, his heart will indeed be sinful. And Allah knows best what you do.

TRANSLATION
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth; and whether you disclose what is in your hearts or hide it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whomever He wishes and punish whomever He wishes, and Allah has power over all things.

285
آمَنَ الرَّسولُ بِما أُنزِلَ إِلَيهِ مِن رَبِّهِ وَالمُؤمِنونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لا نُفَرِّقُ بَينَ أَحَدٍ مِن رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقالوا سَمِعنا وَأَطَعنا ۖ غُفرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَإِلَيكَ المَصيرُ

TRANSLATION
The Apostle has faith in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and all the faithful. Each [of them] has faith in Allah, His angels, His scriptures and His apostles. [They declare,] ‘We make no distinction between any of His apostles.’ And they say, ‘We hear and obey. Our Lord, forgive us, and toward You is the return.’
286
لا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفسًا إِلّا وُسعَها ۚ لَها ما كَسَبَت وَعَلَيها مَا اكتَسَبَت ۗ رَبَّنا لا تُؤاخِذنا إِن نَسينا أَو أَخطَأنا ۚ رَبَّنا وَلا تَحمِل عَلَينا إِصرًا كَما حَمَلتَهُ عَلَى الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِنا ۚ رَبَّنا وَلا تُحَمِّلنا ما لا طاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ ۖ وَاعفُ عَنّا وَاغفِر لَنا وَارحَمنا ۚ أَنتَ مَولانا فَانصُرنا عَلَى القَومِ الكافِرينَ

TRANSLATION
Allah does not task any soul beyond its capacity. Whatever [good] it earns is to its benefit, and whatever [evil] it incurs is to its harm.
‘Our Lord! Take us not to task if we forget or make mistakes! Our Lord! Place not upon us a burden as You placed on those who were before us! Our Lord! Lay not upon us what we have no strength to bear! Excuse us and forgive us, and be merciful to us! You are our Master, so help us against the faithless lot!’

							     U ime Boga:
							       onog koji čini milosrđe,
							       Milosrdnog.
							
							
							
	1	Alif. Lam. Mim.						
	2	Evo Knjige!						
		Ona ne sadržava  nikakvu sumnju;						
		ona je Uputstvo onima koji se boje Boga;						
	3	onima koji vjeruju u Tajnu;						
		onima koji obavljaju molitvu;						
		onima koji daju milostinju s dobrima						
		  koja smo mi njima dodijelili;						
	4	onima koji vjeruju u ono što je tebi bilo otkriveno						
i u ono što je bilo otkriveno prije tebe;						
onima koji čvrsto vjeruju u budući život.						
							
	5	Evo onih koji slijede Put						
naznačen po njihovom Gospodu;						
evo onih koji su sretni!						
						
	6	Glede nevjernih:						
za njih je uistinu svejedno						
da li ih ti upozorio						
ili ih ne upozorio;						
oni ne vjeruju.						
							
	7	Bog je stavio jedan pečat						
na njihova srca i njihove uši;						
jedan zastor je na njihovim očima						
i strašna ih kazna očekuje.						
							
	8	Stanoviti ljudi kažu:						
« Mi vjerujemo u Boga i u posljednji Dan, »						
ali oni ne vjeruju.													
	9	Oni pokušavaju prevariti Boga i vjerujuće;						
oni varaju samo sebe						
a o tome nemaju svijesti.						
								
	10	Njihovo srce je bolesno:						
Bog pogoršava tu bolest.						
Jedna bolna kazna bit će cijena njihovoj laži.						
							
	11	Kad se njima kaže:						
« Ne sijte izkvarenosti na zemlji, »						
oni odgovaraju:						
« Mi smo samo preustrojitelji! »						
							
	12	Nisu li oni isti izkvaritelji?						
A oni tome nisu ni svjesni!						
						
	13	Kad se njima kaže:						
« Vjerujte, kao što ljudi vjeruju, »						
oni odgovaraju:						
« Hoćemo li mi vjerovati kao što vjeruju bezumnici? »						
							
Nisu li oni isti bezumnici?						
A oni to i ne znaju!						
								
	14	Svaki put kad oni susretnu vjerujuće,						
oni kažu:						
« Mi vjerujemo! »						
Ali kad se nađu nasamo sa svojim zlodusima,						
oni vele:						
« Mi smo s vama;						
mi se samo šalimo! »						
								
	15	Bog je taj koji se sprda s njima						
i koji ih održava u njihovoj pobuni.						
Oni gube glavu!						
								
	16	Evo onih koji trampe grješku za pravi život;					
njihova je trgovina bez probitka;						
oni nisu usmjereni.						
							
	17	oni su slični onima koji su zapalili jednu vatru.						
Dok vatra obasjava ono što ju okružuje,						
Bog im oduzme svjetlost;						
on ih ostavi u tminama,						
– oni ne vide ništa –						
	18	gluhi, nijemi, slijepi,						
oni se nikad ne će vratiti k Bogu.						
								
	19	Oni su slični nebeskom oblaku						
koji donosi tmine, grmljavinu i munje.						
Oni stavljaju prsti u uši						
u strahu od munje						
i da bi se zaštitili od smrti.						
– Bog opkoli nevjernike sa svih strana–						
	20	Malo je nedostajalo						
da im munja oduzme vid.						
								
Dok munja sija						
oni hode u njenom svjetlu.						
Kad nadođe tmina,						
oni se zaustavljaju.						
							
Da je Bog tako htio,						
oduzeo bi im sluh i vid.						
Bog je moćniji od svake stvari!						
								
	21	O vi ljudi!						
Služite svom Gospodu koji vas je stvorio,						
vas, i one koji su živjeli prije vas.						
– Možda će te se vi njega bojati –						
							
	22	Od zemlje je on za vas načinio jedan ležaj za počinak,			
a od svodova nebeskih, jednu zgradu.						
On spušta vodu s neba						
zahvaljujući kojoj izbijaju plodovi						
da bi osigurali vašu prehranu.						
							
Ne dodjeljujte Bogu suparnika,						
jer vi znate.						
							
	23	Ako ste u sumnji						
glede onoga što smo mi odkrili						
našem sluzi,						
donesite nam jednu Suru sličnu ovoj;						
pozovite druge svjedoke osim Boga,						
ako ste vjerodostojni.						
								
	24	Ako vi to ne učinite						
– a vi to ne će te učinit –						
bojte se Vatre						
koja kao gorivo ima ljude i kamenje						
i koja je bila pripravljena za nevjernike.						
								
	25	Navijesti dobru vijest						
onima koji vjeruju i koji čine dobro:						
oni će posjedovati vrtove gdje teku potoci.						
Svaki put kad jedan plod bude njima darovan, oni će reći:				
« Evo onoga što nam je nekada bilo dodijeljeno, »						
– jer slična su jela njima bila davana –						
Oni će ondje naći čiste supruge,						
i ondje, oni će boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.											
	26	Bog se ne protivi						
predložiti u prispodobi mušicu						
ili nešto uzvišenije.						
Vjerujući znaju						
da je to Istina koja dolazi od njihovog Gospoda.			
nevjernici kažu:						
« Što je to Bog htio naznačiti						
ovom prispodobom? »						
Tako on zabludi veliki broj						
i njime usmjerava veliki broj;						
ali on zabludi samo iskvarene.						
							
	27	Oni koji prekrše sporazum s Bogom						
nakon što su prihvatili njegov savez;						
oni koji presijecaju sveze						
koje je Bog zapovijedio održavati;						
oni koji kvare zemlju:						
evo gubitnika!						
						
	28	Kako možete vi ne vjerovati bogu?						
On vam je dao život,						
onda kad vi niste postojali.						
On će vas usmrtiti,						
potom će vas uskrsnuti						
i vi će te biti dovedeni k njemu.						
						
	29	On je taj koji je stvorio za vas						
sve što je na zemlji.						
potom se on okrenuo k nebu						
koje je ustrojio u sedam nebesa.						
– On poznaje svakui stvar –						
							
	30	Kad tvoj Gospod kaže anđelima:						
« Ja ću postaviti jednog namjesnika na zemlji, »						
oni rekoše:						
« Hoćeš li ti postaviti nekoga tko će činiti zlo						
i tko će prolijevati krv,						
dok mi slavimo tebi hvalospjeve veličajući te						
i dok proglašavamo tvoju svetost? »						
							
Gospod reče:						
« Ja znam što vi ne znate. »						
								
	31	On nauči Adama ime svih bića,						
potom ih on predstavi anđelima govoreći:						
« Priopćite mi njihova imena,						
ako ste vjerodostojni. »						
							
	32	Oni rekoše!						
Mi ne znamo ništa						
osim onog čemu si nas ti poučio;						
ti si, usitinu, onaj koji zna sve, Mudri. »						
								
	33	On reče:						
« O Adame!						
priopći im imena ovih bića! »						
Kad Adam potom pouči anđele,						
Gospod reče:						
« Nisam li vas ja upozorio?						
Ja poznajem tajnu neba i zemlje;						
ja znam ono što vi pokazujete						
i ono što držite u tajnosti. »						
							
	34	Kad smo mi rekli anđelima:						
« Prostrite se pred Adamom! »						
oni se prostriješe,						
izuzev Ibliza koji odbi						
i koji se uzoholi:						
i koji bijaše u broju nevjernih.						
						
	35	Mi smo rekli:						
« O Adame!						
Obitavaj s tvojom suprugom u vrtu;						
jedite plodove kako vi to želite;						
ali se ne približavajte ovom drvetu,						
inače bit će te u broju nepravednih. »						
								
	36	Zloduh ih navede posrnuti						
i otjera ih s mjesta gdje su se nalazili.						
Mi smo rekli:						
« Siđite, i vi će te biti neprijatelji jedni drugima.				
Vi će te naći, na zemlji,						
mjesto boravka i kratkotrajnog užitka. »						
						
	37	Adam prihvati riječi svog Gospoda						
i vrati se k njemu, kajući se.						
Bog je, uistinu, onaj mkoji neprekidno vraća se						
prema grješniku pokajniku;						
on je milosrdan.						
								
	38	Mi smo rekli:						
« Siđite svi!						
Jedno će vam Uputstvo sigurno biti dano						
s moje strane. »						
– Ni strah, ni žalost neće rastužiti						
one koji slijede moje Uputstvo –						
								
	39	Glede nevjernih;						
onima koji postupaju s našim Znakovima kao s lažima:						
evo onih koji će biti gosti Vatre:						
oni će u njoj boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.						
								
	40	O sinovi Izraelovi!						
Sjetite se dobročinstava kojima sam vas obasuo.						
Budite vjerni savezu sa mnom;						
ja ću biti vjeran savezu s vama.						
– Strahujte od mene! –						
						
	41	Vjerujte onome što sam ja odkrio,						
potvrđujući ono što ste već primili.						
Nemojte biti prvi koji ne vjeruju u to;						
ne trampite jeftino mojih Znakova.						
–Strahujte od mene ! –						
							
	42	Ne prikrivajte Istinu ogrćući ju lažju.						
		Ne skrivajte istinu, onda kad ju znate.						
								
	43	Obavljajte molitvu,						
		dajite milostinju;						
		klanjajte se s onima koji se klanjaju.						
								
	44	Hoćete li zapovijedati ljudima dobrotu,						
		dok vi sami nju zaboravljate?						
		Vi čitate Knjigu;						
		ne razumijete li vi?						
								
	45	Molite za pomoć  strpljenja i molitve,						
		to je uistinu vrlo mučno,						
		osim za ponizne						
	46	jer oni znaju da će susresti svog Gospoda,						
		i da će se vratiti k njemu.						
								
	47	O sinovi Izraelovi!						
		Sjetite se dobročinstava kojima sam vas obasuo.						
		Ja sam vas predpostavio cijelom svijetu!						
								
	48	Strahujte od Dana:						
		kad nitko neće biti nagrađen preko drugog,						
		kad nikakvo posredovanje neće biti prihvaćeno,						
		kad nikakva naknada neće biti primljena,						
		kad nikome ne će biti pomognuto.						
								
	49	Mi smo vas oslobodili od Faraonovih ljudi:						
		oni su vam dosudili strašne nevolje:						
		klali su vaše sinove						
		a ostavljali u životu vaše kćeri:						
		To bi, sa strane vašeg Gospoda,						
		  jedno grozno izkušenje.						
								
	50	Mi smo razcijepili more za vas;						
		mi smo vas spasili;						
		mi smo progutali, na vaše oči,						
		  Faraonove ljude.						
								
	51	Mi smo sklopili jedan sporazum s Mojsijem,						
		  tijekom četrdeset noći;						
		Potom, u njegovom odsustvu, vi ste mi predpostavili tele.						
		Vi ste bili nepravedni.						
								
	52	Mi smo vam potom oprostili.						
		Možda će te vi biti tome zahvalni!						
								
	53	Mi smo Mojsiju dali Knjigu i razbor.						
		Možda će te vi biti usmjereni!						
								
	54	Mojsije reče svom puku:						
		« O moj narode!						
		Vi ste sami sebe pozlijedili voleći više tele.						
		Vratite se svom Stvoritelju i međusobno se poubijajte:						
		to će za vas biti bolje kod vašeg Stvoritelja.						
		On će se vratiti k vama;						
		on je, uistinu, onaj koji se neprekidno vraća						
		  prema grješnicima koji se pokaju;						
		on je milosrdan. »						
								
	55	Vi ste rekli:						
		« O Mojsije!						
		Mi ne vjerujemo tebi,						
		sve dok ne budemo jasno vidjeli Boga. »						
								
		Munja vas ošinu, dok ste vi gledali,						
	56	potom, nakon vaše smrti, mi smo vas uskrsnuli,						
		možda će te vi biti zahvalni!						
								
	57	Dali smo da iznad vas lebdi jedan oblak,						
		spustili smo manu i prepelice:						
		« Jedite dobre stvari						
		koje smo vam dodijelili. »						
								
		Oni nas nisu pozlijedili,						
		već su nanijeli zlo sami sebi.						
								
	58	Mi smo rekli:						
		« Uđite u ovaj grad;						
		jedite njegove proizvode do sitosti,						
		  posvuda gdje to želite;						
		prođite vrata na njemu prostirući se						
		i recite: " Oprosti." . »						
								
		Mi ćemo vama oprostiti vaše grijehove;						
		mi ćemo dati više onima koji čine dobro.						
								
	59	Ali oni koji su bili nepravedni						
		zamijeniše jednu drugu riječ,						
		umjesto riječi koja im je bila rečena.						
								
		Mi dadosmo da padne s neba gnjev						
		na nepravedne,						
		po cijeni njihove izopačenosti.						
								
	60	Mojsije zaiska piti za svoj narod.						
		Mi smo mu rekli:						
		« Udari u stijenu svojim štapom. »						
								
		Dvanaest je izvora izbilo:						
		svatko je znao gdje je trebao piti.						
								
		Jedite i pijte dobra koja vam je Bog dodijelio;						
		ne koristite nasilja na zemlji, kvareći ju.						
								
	61	Vi ste rekli:						
		« O Mojsije!						
		Mi više ne ćemo podnositi uvijek istu hranu.						
		Zazovi svog Gospoda u našu korist,						
		da on, za nas, učini da izniknu						
		zemljini plodovi:						
		povrće, krastavci, bijeli luk,						
		sočivice i lukovice. »						
								
		On odgovori:						
		« Hoćete li zamijeniti ono što je dobro 						
		za ono što je jeftino?						
		Spustite se dakle u Egipat,						
		ondje će te naći ono što išćete. »						
								
		Njih napade poniženje i siromaštvo.						
		Gnjev Božji ih iskuša						
		jer nisu vjerovali u Znakove Božje,						
		jer su nepravedno ubijali proroke,						
		jer su bili nepokorni i prijestupnici.						
								
	62	Oni koji vjeruju,						
		oni koji primijenjuju Judaizam,						
		oni koji su Krščani ili Sabejci,						
		oni koji vjeruju u Boga i posljednji Dan,						
		oni koji čine dobro:						
		evo onih koji će naći svoju nagradu						
		  kod svog Gospoda.						
		Oni tada više neće iskusiti nikakav strah,						
		oni neće biti ožalošćeni.						
								
	63	Mi smo ugovorili jedan savez s vama;						
		podigli smo Brdo iznad vas:						
		« Odlučno uzmite						
		zakon koji smo vam dali:						
		podsjetite se njegovog sadržaja.						
		– Možda će te se bojati Boga » –						
								
	64	Potom ste bili odvaraćeni…						
		Bez milosti i milosrđa Boižjeg,						
		vi biste bili u broju gubitnika.						
								
	65	Vi poznajete one od vaših						
		  koji su prekršili Šabat?						
		Mi smo njima rekli:						
		« Budite gnusni majmuni. »						
								
	66	Mi smo od njih načinili jedan primjer						
		za njihove suvremenike i za njihove potomke;						
		i jedno upozorenje za one koji se boje Boga.						
								
	67	Mojsije je rekao svom puku:						
		« Uistinu, Bog vam zapovijeda						
		  zaklati jednu kravu. »						
								
		Oni rekoše:						
		« Ti se sprdaš s nama? »						
								
		On reče:						
		« Nek me Bog sačuva						
		da ne budem u broju neznalica! »						
								
	68	Oni rekoše:						
		« Moli za nas svog Gospoda						
		da nam jasno pokaže kakva ona treba biti. »						
								
		On reče:						
		« Bog Kaže:						
		Da… Bit će to jedna krava, ni stara, ni mlada,						
		  već srednje dobi,						
		učinite kao što vam je zapovijeđeno. »						
								
	69	Oni rekoše:						
		« Pitaj svog Gospoda, za nas,						
		da nam jasno naznači						
	  	  koje boje ona treba biti. »						
								
		On reče:						
		Da…To će biti jedna riđa krava,						
		jedne čiste boje i ugodna za vidjeti. »						
								
	70	Oni rekoše:						
		« Pitaj za nas svog Gospoda						
		da nam jasno naznači kakva ona treba biti;						
		sve su krave slične u našim očima,						
		ali, ako Bog hoće, mi ćemo biti dobro usmjereni. »						
								
	71	On reče:						
		« Bog kaže:						
		«Da… To će biti jedna krava						
		koja nije izgubila vrijednost oranjem zemlje,						
		ili navodnjavanjem polja:						
		jedna krava bez oznake i mane. »						
								
		Oni rekoše:						
		« Ti si nam sad donio Istinu; »						
		i oni zaklaše kravu.						
		– Zamalo su propustili to učiniti –						
								
	72	Podsjetite se da ste nakon ubojstva jednog čovjeka						
		vi pripisivali taj zločin jedni drugima;						
		ali Bog je obznanio ono što ste vi skrivali. »						
								
	73	Mi smo rekli:						
		« Udarite lješinu jednim udom kravljim. »						
								
		Evo kako Bog vraća život mrtvima;						
		on vam pokazuje svoje Znakove:						
		– Možda će te vi razumjeti! » –						
								
	74	Vaša srca, po tome, su otvrdnula.						
		Ona su slična stijeni, ili još i tvrđa.						
								
		Ima, među stijenama,						
		  onih odkud izviru potoci;						
		ima ih koje se rascijepe, i voda otud izlazi;						
		ima ih koje se sruše od straha od Boga.						
		– Bog nije nepažljiv na ono što vi činite –						
								
	75	Kako vi možete željeti da oni vjeruju s vama,						
		kad izvjesni među njima						
		su namjerno izkrivili Riječ Božju,						
		nakon što su ju čuli?						
								
	76	Svaki put kad oni susretnu vjerujuće, oni kažu:						
		« Mi vjerujemo! »						
								
		Ali kad se nađu zajedno, oni kažu:						
		« Hoćete li vi njima govoriti o onome što vam je Bog dodijelio,						
		da bi oni iznijeli dokaz protiv vas kod vašeg Gospoda?						
		Ne razumijete li vi to? »						
								
	77	Ne znaju li oni						
		da Bog poznaje ono što oni kriju						
		i ono što obznanjuju?						
								
	78	Stanoviti među njima su nevjerni.						
		Oni ne poznaju Knjigu,						
		već samo izmišljene priče.						
		Oni uobličavaju samo predpostavke.						
								
	79	Nesretni oni koji pišu Knjigu vlastitim rukama,						
		i koji kažu, zatim, da bi otud izvukli ništavnu korist:						
		« Ovo dolazi od Boga! »						
								
		Nesretni oni!						
		  zbog onoga što su njihove ruke napisale.						
		Nesretni oni!						
		  zbog onoga što su učinili.						
								
	80	Oni kažu:						
		« Vatra će nas dotaći samo za jedno ograničeno vrijeme. »						
								
		Reci:						
		« Niste li vi sklopili jedan savez s Bogom;						
		ili pak, govorite protiv Boga						
		  ono što ne znate? »						
								
	81	Ne!…						
		Oni koji su počinili jedan grijeh						
		i koje je njihova grješka obvila:						
		evo onih koji će biti gosti Vatre;						
		oni će u njoj boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.						
								
	82	Oni koji vjeruju i koji čine dobro						
		bit će gosti Raja;						
		oni će u njemu boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.						
								
	83	Mi smo sklopili savez sa sinovima Izraelovim:						
		« Vi će te obožavati samo Boga;						
		budite dobri glede svojih roditelja, i vaših bližnjih,						
		siročadi i siromašnih.						
		Koristite prema ljudima riječi dobrote;						
		obavljajte molitvu;						
		dijelite milostinju. »						
								
		Vi ste se po tome okrenuli,						
		– s izuzetkom malobrojnih među vama –						
		vi ste se odstranili…						
								
	84	Mi smo sklopili jedan savez s vama:						
		« Ne prolijevajte svoje krvi;						
		ne istjerujte jedni druge iz vaših kuća. »						
								
		Vi ste prihvatili, to vi svjedočite;						
	85	ali evo kako se vi potom ponašate:						
		vi se međusobno ubijate;						
		vi istjerujete izvjesne među vama iz njihovih kuća;						
		vi se udružujete protiv njih						
		da biste im učinili nažao i počinili zločine.						
		Ako li dopadnu robstva, vi im udarate odkupninu,						
		dok vam je zabranjeno proganjati ih.						
								
		Vjerujete li vi dakle u jedan stanoviti dio Knjige						
		 a ostajete nevjerni glede drugog?						
								
		Koja će biti naknada						
		  onome među vama koji postupa tako,						
		osim da bude ponižen tijekom života u ovom svijetu						
		i da bude potisnut prema najžešćoj kazni,						
		  na Dan Uskrsnuća?						
		– Bog nije nepažljiv spram onoga što vi činite –						
								
	86	Evo onih koji su trampili budući život						
		  za život u ovom svijetu.						
		Kazna protiv njih ne će biti olakšana;						
		njima nema pomoći.						
								
	87	Mi smo, uistinu, dali Knjigu Mojsiju,						
		i poslije Njega smo slali proroke.						
								
		Mi smo dodijelili neosporive dokaze						
		  Isusu, sinu Marijinom						
		i mi smo ga ojačali Duhom svetosti.						
								
		Svaki put kad je jedan prorok stigao k vama,						
		donoseći ono što vi niste htjeli,						
		vi ste se uzoholili;						
		vi ste više njih proglašavali za lažce						
		a nekoliko drugih ste ubili.						
								
	88	Oni su rekli:						
		« Naša su srca neobrezana! »						
		Ne!…						
		Nek ih Bog prokune, zbog njihove nevjernosti.						
		Malen je broj Vjerujućih.						
								
	89	Kad jedna Knjiga dolazeći od Boga						
		i potvrđujući ono što su oni primili						
		je njima došla,						
		– oni su predhodno iskali pobjedu						
		nad nevjernicima –						
		kad im je ono što su već poznavali stiglo,						
		oni u nju ne povjerovaše.						
		– Nek prokletstvo Božje padne						
		na nevjerne! –						
								
	90	Koliko je ogavno						
		ono za što su oni trampili svoje duše						
		ne vjerujući onome što je Bog odkrio;						
		buneći se protiv ideje						
		  da je Bog obdario Odkrovenjem						
		one od svojih slugu koje je izabrao.						
								
		Oni su se sa srdžbe na sržbu izložili.						
		Jedna gnusna kazna čuva se za nevjernike.						
								
	91	Kad se njima reklo:						
		« Vjerujte onome što je Bog odkrio, »						
		oni su odgovorili:						
		« Mi vjerujemo onome što nam je bilo odkriveno; »						
		ali oni su nevjerni						
		glede onoga što im dođe potom						
		i koje je Istina koja potvrđuje ono što su već primili.						
								
		Reci:						
		« Zašto dakle, ako ste vi vjerujući,						
		vi ste, prije, ubili proroke Božje?						
								
	92	Mojsije je došao k vama s neodbacivim dokazima,						
		zatim, u njegovom odsustvu, vi ste više voljeli tele.						
		Vi ste bili nepravedni. »						
								
	93	Mi smo prihvatili vaš savez;						
		mi smo izdigli Brdo iznad vas:						
		« Uzmite s odlučnošću ono što smo mi vama dali						
		  i slušajte! »						
								
		Oni odgovoriše:						
		« Mi smo čuli, i odbijamo poslušati. »						
								
		Oni biše opijeni teletom, u svom srcu,						
		zbog svoje nevjernosti.						
								
		Reci:						
		« Ako ste vi vjerujući,						
		ono što vam zapovijeda vaša vjera vrlo je loše. »						
	94	Reci:						
		« Ako je posljednje boravište uz  Boga						
		vama pridržano, nasuprot svim ljudima,						
		poželite dakle smrt, ako ste iskreni. »						
								
	95	Ali oni ju nikad ne požele,						
		zbog djela koja su njihove ruke izvršile.						
		– Bog poznaje nepravedne –						
								
	96	Ti ćeš njih naći najpohlepnije za živjeti od ljudi.						
		Toliki, među mnogobožcima, željeli bi trajati tisuću godina;						
		to ih ne bi izmaklo kazni.						
		– Bog savršeno vidi ono što oni čine –						
								
	97	Reci:						
		« Tko je Gabrielov neprijatelj?…»						
		– On je taj koji je spustio na tvoje srce						
		s Božjim dopuštenjem						
		Knjigu koja potvrđuje ono što je bilo prije njega:						
		Uputstvo u dobra vijest za vjernike –						
	98	« Onaj koji je neprijatelj Bogu,						
		njegovim anđelima, njegovim prorocima,						
		Gabrielu i Mihaelu. »						
		– Bog je neprijatelj nevjernicima –						
								
	99	Mi smo ti odkrili redke savršeno jasne.						
		Samo izopačeni ne vjeruju njima.						
								
	100	Svaki put kad oni zaključe jednu pogodbu,						
		više njih odbacuju nju:						
		najveći broj među njima ne vjeruje.						
								
	101	Kad je jedan prorok poslan od Boga stigao k njima,						
		potvrđujući ono što su već primili,						
		više njih kojima je Knjiga bila dana						
		odbaciše iza svojih leđa Knjigu Božju;						
		kao da ništa nisu znali.						
								
	102	Oni su odobravali ono što su zlodusi njima pričali						
		o vladavini Solomonovoj.						
		Solomon nije bio nevjernik,						
		već su zlodusi nevjernici.						
								
		Oni ljude poučavaju čaranju,						
		i ono što, u Babiloniji, bijaše odkriveno						
		  dvojici anđela Harutu i Marutu.						
								
		Ta dvojica nisu nikoga poučavala a da nisu rekla:						
		« Mi smo samo jedno iskušenje,						
		ne budi nevjeran. »						
		Zlodusi naučavahu kod sebe						
		sredstva razdvajanja muža i žene njegove;						
		ali oni ne mogu škoditi nikome,						
		bez dopuštenja Božjeg.						
								
		Zlodusi poučavaju ono što ne može škoditi ljudima,						
		niti im biti od bilo kakve koristi.						
		Ljudi znaju						
		da onaj koji stječe te ispraznosti						
		ne će imati nikakva udjela u budućem životu.						
		trampa koju su oni prihvatili zaista je gnusna.						
		– Da su samo znali! –						
								
	103	Da su oni vjerovali,						
		da su se bojali Boga,						
		jedna nagrada od Boga bila bi bolja za njih.						
		– Da su znali ! –						
								
	104	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Ne recite: « Podupri nas! »						
		već recite: « Pogledaj nas! »						
		Slušajte!						
		Jedna bolna kazna očekuje nevjerne.						
								
	105	Oni među ljudima Knjige koji su nevjerni						
		i mnogobožci						
		ne žele da milost vašeg Gospoda						
		 siđe na vas.						
								
		Bog dodjeljuje, posebice, svoje milosrđe						
		  kome on hoće.						
		Bog je Gospodar neizmjerne milosti.						
								
	106	Čim mi opozovemo jedan redak						
		ili čim ga predamo zaboravu,						
		mi ga nadoknađujemo jednim drugim, boljim ili sličnim.						
		– Ne znaš li ti						
		da je Bog nadmoćan nad svakom stvari? –						
								
	107	Ne znaš li ti						
		da Kraljevstvo nebesa i zemlje pripada Bogu						
		i da osim Boga						
		nema, za vas, ni gospodara, ni branitelja?						
								
	108	Hoćete li vi ispitivati svog Proroka,						
		kao prije, što su ispitivali Mojsija?						
								
		Onaj koji zamijeni vjeru za nevjerovanje						
		udaljuje se od pravog puta.						
								
	109	Ponukani ljubomorom						
		veliki broj ljudi Knjige bi želio;						
		– iako je Istina njima bila pokazana –						
		vas vratiti nevjerništvu						
		nakon što ste vi imali vjeru.						
								
		Oprostite i zaboravite						
		sve dok Bog ne dođe sa svojim Suđenjem.						
		– Bog je nadmoćan nad svakom stvari –						
								
	110	Budite uredni u molitvi;						
		dajite milostinju;						
		naći će te kod Boga dobro						
		koje će te steći unaprijed, za sebe same.						
		– Bog savršeno vidi ono što činite –						
								
	111	Oni su rekli:						
		« Nitko ne će ući u Raj,						
		ako nije židov ili kršćanin. »						
		– To je njihova varava želja –						
								
		Reci:						
		« Donesite svoj odlučni dokaz,						
		ako ste vjerodostojni. »						
								
	112	Ne!…						
		Onaj koji je podvrgnut Bogu i koji čini dobro						
		bit će nagrađen kod svog Gospoda…						
								
		Oni ne će iskusiti više nikakvog straha,						
		oni ne će biti rastuženi.						
								
		Židovi su rekli:						
		« Krščani nisu pravi! »						
								
		Krščani su rekli:						
		« Židovi nisu pravi! »						
		a ipak, oni čitaju Knjigu.						
								
		Oni koji ne znaju ništa izgovaraju iste riječi;						
		Bog će suditi među njima						
		  na Dan Uskrsnuća,						
		i on će odlučiti o njihovim razlikama.						
								
	114	Tko je dakle nepravedniji						
		od onoga tko se odupre zazivanju u ime Božje						
		u mošejama Božjim,						
		i od onih koji se ražeste da ih unište,						
		dok ne bi trebali u njih ulaziti drukčije no drhteći?						
								
		Ljaga ih čeka u ovom svijetu,						
		i, u budućem životu, jedna ih strašna kazna očekuje.						
								
	115	Istok i Zapad pripadaju Bogu.						
		Koja god da bude strana prema kojoj se okrećete,						
		lice Božje je ondje.						
		– Bog je nazočan posvuda i on zna! –						
								
	116	Oni su rekli:						
		« Bog je sebi dao sina! »						
		Ali slava njemu!						
		Ono što se nalazi u nebesima i na zemlji						
		  njemu u cijelosti pripada:						
		svi njemu upućuju svoje molitve.						
								
	117	Stvoritelj nebesa i zemlje,						
		kad je on propisao jednu stvar,						
		on njoj samo kaže: « Budi! » i ona jest.						
								
	118	Oni koji ne znaju ništa kažu:						
		« Da tome nije tako, Bog bi nam to rekao,						
		ili pak, tada, jedan bi nam Znak stigao. »						
								
		Oni koji živješe prije njih						
		  izgovorili su iste riječi,						
		njihova srca su slična.						
								
		Mi smo međutim pokazali Znakove						
		jednom puku koji čvrsto vjeruje.						
								
	119	Mi smo te poslali s Istinom						
		za najaviti dobru vijest i za upozoriti.						
								
		Ti ne ćeš biti ispitivan						
		glede gostiju Pećnice.						
								
	120	Židovi i Krščani ne će biti zadovoljni tobom						
		dok ti ne budeš slijedio njihovu vjeroispovijed.						
								
		Reci:						
		« Usmjerenje Božje je uistinu Usmjerenje. »						
								
		Ako se ti primjeriš njihovim željama						
		nakon što ti je došlo kao Znanost,						
		ti ne ćeš naći ni gospodara ni branitelja						
		sposobnog da se suprotstavi Bogu.						
								
	121	Oni kojima smo mi dali Knjigu						
		  nju izgovaraju kao što to treba.						
		Evo onih koji vjeruju u nju.						
		Oni koji u nju ne vjeruju gubitnici su.						
								
	122	« O sinovi Izraelovi!						
		Sjetite se dobročinstava kojima sam vas ja obasuo,						
		ja sam vas predpostavio cijelom svijetu.						
								
	123	Bojte se Dana kad nitko ne će biti nagrađen						
		  za drugog,						
		kad nikakva naknada ne će biti prihvaćena,						
		kad nikakvo posredovanje ne će koristiti.						
		– Nitko, dakle, ne će biti pomognut » –						
								
	124	Kad njegov Gospod izkuša Abrahama						
		  stanovitim zapovijedima						
		i koje ovaj bi izvršio,						
		Bog reče:						
		« Ja ću od tebe načiniti vodiča za ljude, »						
		Abraham reče:						
		« I za moje potomstvo također? »						
		Gospod reče:						
		« Moj savez ne obuhvaća nepravedne. »						
								
	125	Mi smo od Kuće načinili						
		mjesto kamo se često dolazi						
		i jedno utočište za ljude.						
		Uzmite dakle stajalište Abrahamovo						
		  kao mjesto molitve.						
								
		Mi smo povjerili Abrahamu i Ismaelu jednu misiju:						
		« Očistite moju Kuću						
		za one koji izvršavaju obilazke;						
		za one koji se tu povlače pobožno,						
		za one koji se klanjaju i prostiru. »						
								
	126	Abraham reče:						
		« Gospode moj!						
		Načini od ovog mjesta sigurno utočište;						
		dodijeli njegovim stanovnicima plodove kao hranu,						
		onima među njima koji budu vjerovali u Boga						
		  i u posljednji Dan. »  						
								
		Gospod reče:						
		« Ja dodjeljujem nevjerniku jedno kratkotrajno uživanje;						
		potom ja ću ga strmoglaviti u kaznu Vatre. »						
		– Kojeg li gnusnog svršetka! –						
								
	127	Abraham i Ismael podigoše sjedište Kuće:						
		« Gospode naš!						
		prihvati ovo s naše strane:						
		ti si onaj koji čuje i koji zna sve.						
								
	128	Gospode naš!						
		Načini od nas dvojice vjernike koji će ti biti podvrgnuti;						
		učini od našeg potomstva						
		  jednu zajednicu koja će tebi biti podvrgnuta;						
		naznači nam obrede kojih se mi trebamo pridržavati;						
		oprosti nama!						
		Ti si onaj koji se neprestano vraća						
		  prema vjernicima pokajnicima;						
		ti si Milosrdni.						
								
	129	Gospode naš!						
		Pošalji im jednog proroka uzetog između njih:						
		on će njima govoriti tvoje Redke;						
		on će njih poučavati Knjigu mudrosti;						
		on će njih očistiti.						
		Ti si Svemogući, Mudri! »						
								
	130	Tko dakle izkušava odvratnost						
		  za Vjeru Abrahamovu,						
		ako ne onaj koji je bezuman?						
								
		Mi smo, uistinu, izabrali Abrahama u ovom svijetu						
		i, u drugom, on će biti u broju pravednika.						
								
	131	Njegov mu Gospod reče:						
		« Podvrgni se! »						
								
		On odgovori:						
		« Ja se podvrgavam Gospodarui svjetova! »						
								
	132	Abraham zapovjedi svojoj djeci:						
		– i Jakob učini isto –						
		« O moja djeco!						
		Bog je za vas izabrao Vjeroispovijed;						
		ne umrite drukčije no njem,u podvrgnuti. »						
								
	133	Jeste li vi nazočili, kad se smrt predstavi Jakovu,						
		i kad on reče svojoj djeci:						
		« Što će te vi obožavati poslije mene? »						
								
		Oni rekoše:						
		« Mi ćemo obožavati tvog Boga,						
		Boga tvojih otaca, Abrahama, Ismaela i Izaka,						
		– Boga jedinoga! –						
		i mi se podvrgavamo njemu. »						
								
	134	Ova je zajednica prošla.						
		Ono što je ona stekla svojim djelima njoj pripada,						
		a ono što ste vi stekli vaš je prihod;						
		vi ne će te biti ispitivani za njihova djela.						
								
	135	Oni su rekli:						
		« Budite židovi, ili budite kršćani,						
		vi će te biti dobro usmjereni.»						
								
		Reci:						
		« Ali ne! …						
		Slijedite vjeru Abrahamovu, jednog pravog vjernika						
		koji nije bio u broju mnogobožaca. »						
								
	136	Recite:;						
		« Mi vjerujemo u Boga,						
		u ono što nam je on odkrio,						
		u ono što je bilo odkriveno						
		  Abrahamu, Ismaelu, Izaku, Jakovu, i plemenima;						
		u ono što je bilo dano Mojsiju i Isusu;						
		u ono što je bilo dano prorocima,						
		  sa strane njihovog Gospoda.						
		Mi nikog od njih ne predpostavljamo drugom;						
		mi smo podvrgnuti Bogu. »						
								
	137	Ako oni vjeruju u ono u što vi vjerujete,						
		oni su dobro usmjereni;						
		ali ako se oni okrenu;						
		tada se oni nalaze u jednom raskolu.						
		– Tebi Bog dostaje nasuprot njima,						
		on je onaj koji čuje i koji zna –						
								
	138	Pomazanje Božje!						
		Tko može, bolje od Boga, dati to, pomazanje?						
		Mi smo njegove sluge!						
								
	139	Reci:						
		« Hoćete li vi razpravljati s nama glede Boga?						
		On je naš Gospod i vaš Gospod.						
		Nama naša djela pripadaju						
		a vaša djela vama pripadaju.						
		Mi njemu predajemo jedan čisti obred. »						
								
	140	Hoće li oni reći:						
		« Abraham, Ismael, Izak, Jakov i plemena,						
		jesu li stvarno bili židovi ili krščani? »						
								
		Reci:						
		« Jeste li vi, ili pak Bog, koji zna najviše? » 						
		Tko je dakle nepravedniji od onoga koji krije svjedočenje						
		  koje je primio od Boga?						
		- Bog nije nepažljiv spram onoga što vi činite –						
								
								
	141	Ta je zajednica prošla;						
		ono što je ona stekla svojim djelima njoj pripada,						
		a ono što ste vi stekli vaš je prihod.						
		Vi niste odgovorni za ono što su oni učinili.						
								
	142	Bezumni među ljudima kažu:						
		« Tko je dakle njih okrenuo od Kible						
		prema kojoj su bili usmjereni? »						
								
		Reci:						
		« Istok i zapad pripadaju Bogu;						
		on izvodi koga on hoće na pravi put. »						
								
	143	Mi smo načinili od vas						
		 jednu Zajednicu udaljenu od skrajnosti						
		da biste vi bili svjedoci o ljudima,						
		i da Prorok bude svjedok o vama.						
								
		Mi smo ustanovili Kiblu						
		  prema kojoj se vi okrećete						
		samo da bi se razlikovali oni koji slijede Proroka						
		  od onih koji se okreću od njegovih koraka.						
		To je, uistinum jedan veliki grijeh,						
		osim za one koje Bog usmjerava.						
		Nije Bog taj koji će učiniti vašu vjeru izpraznom.						
		– Bog je, uistinu, dobar i milosrdan –						
								
	144	Mi tebe često vidimo lica okrenutog k nebu;						
		mi ćemo tebe usmjeriti prema Kibli koja će ti goditi.						
		Okreni dakle svoje lice						
		  u smjeru svete Mošeje.						
								
		Gdje god da budete,						
		okrenite svoje lice u njenom smjeru.						
		Oni koji su primili Kuran znaju						
		da je on Istina došla od njihovog Gospoda.						
		– Bog nije nepažljiv spram onoga što oni čine –						
								
	145	Kad bi ti donio nekoliko Znakova						
		onima koji su primili Knjigu,						
		oni ne bi usvojili tvoju Kiblu						
		a ti ne bi usvojio njihovu Kiblu.						
		Više njih ne usvaja						
	 	Kiblu od drugih.						
								
		Ako bi se ti priklonio njihovim željama,						
		nakon onog što ti je došlo kao Znanost,						
		ti bi bio sigurno u broju nepravednih.						
								
	146	Oni kojima smo mi dali Knjigu nju poznaju,						
		kao što poznaju svoju vlastitu djecu.						
		Više njih, međutim, skriva istinu,						
		  iako ju poznaju.						
								
	147	Istina dolazi od tvog Gospoda.						
		Ne budi u broju onih koji sumnjaju.						
								
	148	Ima za svakoga,						
		jedno Usmjerenje prema kojem se on okreće.						
		Nastojte nadmašiti jedni druge u dobrim djelima.						
								
		Bog ide s vama svima, gdje god da budete.						
		Bog je nadmoćan nad svakom stvari.						
								
	149	Koje god da je mjesto odkud ti dolaziš						
		okreni svoje lice u smjeru svete Mošeje:						
		ondje je Istina koja je došla od tvog Gospoda.						
		– Bog nije nepažljiv spram onoga što vi činite –						
								
	150	Koje god da je mjesto odkud ti dolaziš						
		okreni svoje lice u smjeru svete Mošeje:						
								
		Gdje god da vi budete;						
		okrenite svoja lica u njenom smjeru,						
		da ljudi ne bi imali dokaza						
		  za vama suprotstaviti						
		– izuzev onih među vama						
		   koji su u grješci –						
		Ne bojte se njih, bojte se mene						
		da bih ja ispunio svoju milost u vašu korist.						
		- Možda će te vi biti dobro usmjereni! –						
								
	151	Mi smo vama poslali jednog Proroka						
		  uzetog između vas:						
		On vam priopćava naše Znakove;						
		on vas čisti;						
		on vas poučava Knjizi i Mudrosti;						
		on vas poučava onome što niste znali.						
								
	152	Sjetite se mene,						
		ja ću se sjetiti vas.						
		Budite zahvalni prema meni,						
		ne budite nezahvalni spram mene.						
								
	153	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Tražite pomoć u strpljenju i molitvi.						
		Bog je s onima koji su strpljivi.						
								
								
								
	154	Ne recite						
		o onima koji su poginuli na Božjem Putu:						
		« Oni su mrtvi! »						
		Ne!...						
		Oni su živi;						
		ali vi toga niste svjesni.						
								
	155	Mi vas izkušavamo s malo straha, gladi;						
		laganim gubitcima						
		dobara, počasti ili žetve.						
								
		Navijesti dobru vijest onima koji su strpljivi,						
	156	onima koji kažu, kad ih nesreća dostigne:						
		« Mi smo Božji i vraćamo se k njemu. »						
								
	157	Evo onih na koje silaze						
		blagoslovi i milosrđe njihovog Gospoda.						
		Oni su dobro usmjereni.						
								
	158	Safa i Marva su uistinu						
		među svetim Božjim stvarima.						
								
		Onaj koji čini veliko Hodočašće u Kuću						
		  ili pak malo hodočašće						
		ne počinjava grijeha						
		ako ispuni obredno obilaženje tu i ondje.						
		Onaj koji to ispuni od svoje dobre volje čini dobro.						
		– Bog je zahvalan i on zna –						
								
	159	Oni koji skrivaju pokazane Znakove						
		i smjer koji smo mi odkrili						
		kad smo  ih obznanili ljudima						
		  pomoću Knjige:						
		evo onih koje Bog proklinje,						
		i oni koji proklinju, njih proklinju,						
	160	s izuzetkom onih koji su se vratli u pokajanju						
		i onih koji su očigledno popravili:						
		evo onih prema kojima ću se ja vratiti.						
		Ja sam onaj koji bez prestanka vraća se						
		prema grješnicima pokajnicima,						
		ja sam Milosrdni.						
								
	161	Glede nevjernika koji umru u nevjernost svojoj:						
		evo onih na koje pada						
		prokletstvo Božje, anđeosko						
		  i svih ljudi:						
	162	oni će u njemu boraviti kao bezsmrtnici;						
		njihova kazna neće biti olakšana,						
		nitko njih ne će pogledati.						
								
	163	Vaš je Bog jedini!						
		Nema Boga osim njega:						
		onog koji čini milosrđe.						
		Milosrdnog.						
								
	164	U stvaranju nebesa i zemlje,						
		u smjenjivanju noći i dana,						
		u lađi koja plovi morem						
		  noseći ono što je korisno ljudima,						
		u vodi koju Bog spušta s neba						
		  a koja vraća život zemlji nakon njene smrti,						
		– toj zemlji gdje je on rasijao						
		sve vrste životinja –						
		u vrstama vjetrova,						
		u oblacima podvrgnutim jednoj zadaći						
		  između neba i zemlje,						
		ima uistinu Znakova						
		za puk koji razumije!						
								
	165	Neki ljudi uzimaju pridruženike						
		  pokraj Boga;						
		oni njih vole kao što se voli Bog;						
		ali vjerujući su žešći						
		  u ljubavi prema Bogu.						
								
		Kad nepravedni budu vidjeli kaznu,						
		oni će vidjeti da cjelokupna moć pripada Bogu,						
		i da je Bog strašan u svojem kažnjavanju.						
								
	166	Kad oni koji budu slijeđeni						
		budu se odricali onih koji su ih slijedili,						
		kad budu vidjeli kaznu,						
		kad sve sveze budu presječene,						
	167	kad oni koji budu slijedili kažu:						
		« Ah! da nam je bilo moguće vratiti se,						
		mi bismo njih porekli						
		kao što su oni nas porekli .						
								
		Ovako Bog njima pokazuje njihova djela:						
		Nesretni oni!						
		Oni ne će moći izići iz vatre.						
								
	168	O vi, ljudi!						
		Jedite ono što je dopušteno i dobro na zemlji;						
		ne slijedite tragove Sotonine;						
		on je za vas otvoreni neprijatelj;						
	169	on vam zapovijeda zlo i sramote,						
		on vam zapovijeda govoriti o Bogu						
		  ono što vi ne znate.						
								
	170	Kad se njima kaže:						
		« primjerite se onome što je Bog odkrio, »						
		oni odgovore:						
		« Ne!...						
		Mi slijedimo običaje naših otaca. »						
								
		A ako njihovi očevi nisu ništa razumijevali?						
		I ako se nisu nalazili na pravom putu?						
								
	171	Nevjernici su slični stoki						
		na koju se izdire						
		i koja ne čuje ništa osim krika ili poziva;						
		gluha, nijema, slijepa;						
		oni ne razumiju ništa.						
								
	172	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Jedite ove dobre stvari						
		  koje smo mi vama dodijelili;						
		zahvaljujte Bogu, ako je on taj koga vi obožavate.						
								
	173	Bog vam je samo zabranio						
		mrtve životinje, krv, svinjsko meso						
		i svaku životinju nad kojom je bilo zazvano						
		  drugo ime osim Božjeg.						
								
		Ni jedan grijeh ne će biti pripisan						
		onome koji bude prisiljen jesti to						
		ako nije iz pobune ili prijestupa.						
		– Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan –						
								
	174	Oni koji skrivaju ono što je Bog odkrio u Knjizi						
		i koji to trampe za nisku cijenu:						
		evo onih koji ne će progutati, u svojoj utrobi,						
		drugo do li vatru.						
								
		Bog njima ne će govoriti,						
		na Dan Suđenja,						
		on njih ne će očistiti.						
		Jedna je bolna kazna njima pridržana.						
								
	175	Evo onih koji su trampili						
		pravi put za grješku;						
		oprost za kaznu.						
		Tko će im dati da podnesu Vatru?						
								
	176	To je ovako						
		jer Bog je odkrio Knjigu s Istinom.						
		Oni koji su u nesuglasju s predmetom Knjige						
		nalaze se u raskolu koji ih udaljuje od vjere.						
								
	177	Pobožnost se ne sastoji u tome da okrenete svoje lice						
		prema Istoku ili prema Zapadu.						
								
		Dobar čovjek je onaj koji vjeruje u Boga,						
		u posljednji Dan, u anđele,						
		u Knjigu i u Proroke.						
		Onaj koji, za ljubav Božju, daje svoje dobro						
		svojim bližnjim, siročadima, sirotinji,						
		putnicima, prosjacima						
		i za odkup zarobljenika.						
								
		Onaj koji obavlja molitvu;						
		onaj koji dijeli milostinju.						
								
		Oni koji ispunjavaju svoje obveze;						
		oni koji su strpljivi u nevolji, nesreći						
		i u trenutku opasnosti:						
		evo onih koji su pravedni!						
		Evo onih koji se boje Boga!						
								
	178	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Zakon odmazde propisan vam je u slučaju ubojstva:						
		slobodan čovjek za slobodnog čovjeka;						
		rob za roba;						
		žena za ženu.						
								
		Treba koristiti pristojne postupke						
		prema onome kojem su braća vratila						
	  	  jedan dio duga,						
		a on sam odštetit će njega						
		  na najbolji način						
		to predstavlja olakšicu i milosrđe						
		dodijeljeno od vašeg Gospoda.						
								
		Jedna bolna kazna je pridržana						
		 onome koji, nakon toga, bude prekršio zakon.						
								
	179	Ima za vas, jedan život, u odmazdi.						
		O vi, ljudi nadareni razumom.!						
		Možda će te se vi bojati Boga!						
								
	180	Evo što vam je propisano:						
		Kad se smrt prikaže nekom od vas,						
		ako taj ostavlja dobra,						
		on treba načiniti oporuku u korist svog oca i majke,						
		svojih najbližih rođaka,						
		sukladno običaju.						
		To je jedna obveza za one koji se boje Boga.						
								
	181	Grijeh onoga koji promijeni tu oporuku						
		  nakon što ju je saslušao						
		ne će biti pripisan osim						
		  onima koji su ju izmijenili.						
		– Bog čuje i zna sve –						
								
	182	Onaj koji uzpostavi slogu među naslijednicima,						
		iz straha od nepravde i grijeha						
	 	  spram oporučitelja,						
		ne čini grijeha.						
		–Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan –						
								
	183	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Post vam je propisan						
		kao što to bijaše propisano						
		naraštajima koji su vam predhodili.						
		– Možda će te se vi bojati Boga –						
								
	184	Postite tijekom izbrojanih dana.						
		Onaj koji je između vas bolestan ili koji putuje						
		postit će potom jednak broj dana.						
								
		Oni koji bi mogli postiti a koji se od tog izuzmu,						
		morat će, u zamjenu, hraniti jednog siromaha.						
		onaj koji, dobrovoljno, učini više						
		  naći će tu svoje dobro.						
								
		Postiti je za vas jedno dobro.						
		Možda će te vi razumjeti.						
								
	185	Kuran je bio odkrivan tijekom mjeseca Ramazana.						
		To je jedno usmjerenje za ljude;						
		jedno jasno očitovanje Usmjerenja i Zakona.						
								
		Ako netko od vas, bude vidio mladi mjesec						
		  postit će cijeli mjesec.						
		Onaj koji je bolestan ili koji putuje						
		  postit će poslije jednak broj dana.						
								
		Bog hoće olakšicu za vas,						
		on ne će, za vas, prinudu.						
								
		Izvršite to razdoblje posta;						
		uzvišavajte veličinu Boga koji vas usmjerava.						
		– Možda će te biti zahvalni –						
								
	186	Kad moje sluge ispituju o meni,						
		 ja sam blizu, uistinu;						
		ja odgovaram na poziv onome tko me zaziva,						
		  kad me zaziva.						
								
		Nek dakle odgovaraju mojem pozivu;						
		nek vjeruju u mene.						
		– Možda će oni biti dobro usmjereni –						
								
	187	Dopušteno vam je za vrijeme noći koja						
		prati post suložništvo s vašim ženama.						
		One su za vas odjeća,						
		vi ste, za njih, odjeća.						
								
		Bog je znao da vi ranjavate sami sebe;						
		on se vratio k vama;						
		on vam je oprostio.						
		Živite zajedno s vašim ženama.						
		Tragajte za onim što vam je Bog propisao.						
								
		Jedite i pijte						
		sve dok se ne mogne razlikovati u zoru						
		  bijeli konac od crnog konca.						
		Postite, zatim, sve do noći.						
								
		Nemajte nikakvog odnosa sa svojim ženama						
		kad ste se povukli u mošeju.						
								
		Takvi su Zakoni Božji;						
		ne kršite ih.						
		Evo kako Bog ljudima objašnjava Znakove.						
		Možda će se oni bojati!						
								
	188	Ne proždirite međusobno po krivdi vaša dobra;						
		ne dajite ih kao dar sudcima						
		s ciljem da nepravedno jedete						
		  jedan dio tuđih dobara.						
		Vi to znate savršeno.						
								
	189	Oni će te ispitivati o mladim mjesecima.						
		Reci:						
		« To su, za ljude, oznake						
		koje im dopuštaju utvrditi						
		razdoblja Hodočašća. »						
								
		Pobožnost se ne sastoji						
		u ulaženju u vaše kuće odpozada.						
		Pobožnost se sastoji u strahu od Boga.						
		Ulazite u svoje kuće kroz uobičajena vrata.						
								
		Bojte se Boga;						
		možda, tada, vi će te biti sretni.						
								
	190	Borite se na Božjem putu						
		s onima koji se bore protiv vas.						
		– Ne budite prijestupnici;						
		Bog ne voli prijestupnike –						
	191	Ubijajte ih posvuda gdje ih susretnete;						
		istjerajte ih iz mjesta odkud su oni vas istjerali.						
		– Pobuna je gora od ubojstva –						
								
		Ne borite se s njima kog svete Mošeje,						
		osim ako se oni ne bore s vama na tom istom mjestu.						
		Ako li vas napadnu, ubijajte ih:						
		takva je naknada nevjernicima.						
								
	192	Ako se zaustave,						
		znajte tada da je Bog onaj koji oprašta,						
		on milosrdan.						
								
	193	Borite se s njima sve dok ne nestane pobune						
		i dok se obred Božji ne uzpostavi.						
								
		Ako se zaustave, prekinite bitku,						
		osim protiv onih koji su nepravedni.						
								
	194	Sveti mjesec, za sveti mjesec.						
		Svako svetogrđe pada pod zakon odmazde.						
								
		Mrzite onog koji vas mrzi,						
		u mjeri u kojoj vas on mrzi.						
								
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Znajte da je Bog s onima koji ga se boje.						
								
	195	Trošite svoja dobra na Božjem putu;						
		Ne izlažite sami sebe gubitku.						
								
		Činite dobra djela;						
		Bog voli one koji čine dobro.						
								
	196	Izvršite, za Boga,						
		  veliko i malo hodočašće.						
		Ako ste tome spriječeni,						
		pošaljite u zamjenu						
		ponudu koja vam je lagana.						
		Ne brijte glave,						
		prije nego li ponuda stigne na svoje odredište.						
								
		Ako je jedan od vas bolestan;						
		ako pati od bolesti glave,						
		taj se mora iskupiti postovima,						
		milostinjom, ili žrtvovanjima.						
								
		Kad se sigurnost bude uzpostavila,						
		onaj koji bude uživao u normalnom životu						
		između velikog i malog hodočašća,						
		poslat će ponudu koja njemu bude lagana.						
								
		Onaj koji ne bude našao srdstava nadoknadit će ju						
		jednim postom od tri dana, tijekom hodočašća						
		i sedam dana kad se budete vratili,						
		to jest, ukupno deset dana.						
								
		Evo za onoga koji nema obitelji						
		kod svete Mošeje.						
								
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Znajte da je Bog strašan u svojem kažnjavanju.						
								
	197	Hodočašće se obavlja u određenim mjesecima.						
		Hodočasnik se mora uzdržati						
		svakog odnosa sa ženom,						
		od razvrata i od svađa,						
		tijekom hodočašća.						
		– Bog zna dobro ono što vi činite –						
								
		Ponesite obskrbu za putovanje;						
		ali, uistinu, najbolja obskrba za putovanje						
		je pobožni strah strah od Boga.						
								
		O vi, ljudi nadareni razumom!						
		Bojte se mene!						
								
	198	Ne činite nikakva zla						
		ako tražite naklonost u vašeg Gospodina.						
								
		Kad se razštrkate s Arafata,						
		zazovite Boga kod svetog spomenika;						
		zazovite ga, jer vas je on usmjerio,						
		onda kad bijaste, prije,						
		  u broju zabludjelih.						
								
	199	Razštrkajte se potom onuda kuda se ljudi razštrkuju.						
		Tražite oprost u Boga.						
		– Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan –						
								
	200	Sjećajte se Boga obavljajući svoje obrede						
		kao što se sjećate svojih predaka						
		ili jedne uspomene još posve žive.						
								
		Stanoviti ljudi kažu:						
		« Gospode naš!						
		Dodijeli nam dobra ovog svijeta; »						
		ali oni ne će imati nikakva udjela u budućem životu.						
								
	201	Stanoviti ljudi kažu:						
		« Gospode naš!						
		Dodijeli nam dobra ovog svijeta						
		i dobra budućeg života.						
		Sačuvaj nas od kazne Vatre. »						
								
	202	Evo onih koji će posjedovati						
		  jedan dio onoga što su stekli.						
		– Bog je hitar u svojim računima –						
								
	203	Zazivajte Boga u naznačene dane.						
		Onaj koji se požuri za dva dana						
		  ne čini grijeha						
		i onaj koji zakasni ne čini grijeha.						
		– Evo za onog koji se boji Boga –						
								
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Znajte da će te biti sakupljeni u njegovoj nazočnosti.						
								
	204	Ima među ljudima						
		onih čija riječ o ovom svijetu tebi godi.						
		On uzima Boga za svjedoka o sadržini svog srca;						
		ali to je jedna strastvena svađalica.						
	205	Čim ti on okrene leđa,						
		on se potrudi pokvariti ono što je na zemlji;						
		on uništava žetve i stoku.						
		- Bog ne voli iskvarenost –						
	206	Čim mu se kaže:						
		« Boj se Boga, »						
		snaga grijeha 	ga zgrabi:					
		njegov će dio biti Pakao:						
		kojeg li ogavnog ležaja za odmor!						
								
	207	Ima jedan, među ljudima,						
		  koji se sam prodao 						
		da bi ugodio Bogu.						
		– Bog je dobar prema svojim slugama –						
								
	208	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Uđite svi u mir;						
		ne slijedite tragove Sotonine:						
		on je vaš otvoreni neprijatelj.						
								
	209	Ako ste posrnuli						
		nakon što su očigledni dokazi vama stigli,						
		znajte da je Bog moćan i pravedan.						
								
	210	Što oni čekaju,						
		ako ne da im Bog dođe s anđelima,						
		u sjeni oblaka?						
		Udes je određen:						
		svaka se stvar vraća k Bogu.						
								
	211	Ispitaj sinove Izraelove:						
		Koliko smo im dali						
		  neoborivih dokaza!						
		Ali Bog je strašan u svojoj kazni,						
		za onoga koji zamjenjuje dobročinstvo Božje,						
		  nakon što ga je primio.						
								
	212	Život ovog svijeta pokazao se kao lijep nevjernicima.						
		Oni su se sprdali vjerujućima.						
		Oni koji se boje Boga bit će iznad njih						
		na Dan Uskrsnuća.						
		– Bog dodjeljuje svoja dobročinstva kome on hoće,						
		    ne vodeći računa–						
								
	213	Ljudi čine jednu jedinstvenu zajednicu.						
		Bog je poslao proroke						
		da bi njima donijeli dobru vijest						
		i da bi ih upozorili.						
		Tako on spusti Knjigu s Istinom						
		za suditi među ljudima						
		  i odlučiti o njihovim razlikama						
		ali samo oni, i zbog ljubomore među njima,						
		oni koji bijahu primili Knjigu						
		  bišew u nesuglasju o njenom predmetu						
		dok neoborivi dokazi						
		  njima bijahu došli.						
								
		Bog je usmjerio one koji su vjerovali ovom dijelu Istine						
		glede kojeg su se drugi prepirali,						
		  s dopuštenjem.						
		Bog usmjerava koga on hoće, na pravi put.						
								
	214	Mislite li vi ući u Raj,						
		a da još niste bili izkušani						
		kao što to bijahu oni koji su živjeli prije vas,						
		kroz nesreće, nevolje						
		i potrese zemaljske.						
								
		Prorok i oni koji vjeruju s njim, tada će reći:						
		« Kad će dakle doći pobjeda Božja? »						
		Pobjeda Božja nije li blizu?						
								
	215	Oni će te izpitivati						
		o onome što vi trebate potrošiti:						
		reci:						
		« To što vi potrošite bit će						
		za vašeg oca i majku, vaše bližnje,						
		za siročad, sirote i putnike.						
		– Bog zna ono što vi činite od dobra –						
								
	216	Boj vam je propisan,						
		a vi ga mrzite						
								
		Može biti da mrzite jednu stvari,						
		  a ona je dobra za vas.						
								
		Može biti da vi volite jednu stvar,						
		  a ona je zlo po vas.						
		– Bog zna, a vi, vi ne znate –						
	217	Oni će te izpitivati						
		o boju tijekom svetog mjeseca.						
		Reci:						
		« Voditi boj u tom mjesecu je ozbiljan grijeh;						
		ali, odstraniti ljude s Božjeg puta,						
		biti bezbožan spram njega i svetoj Mošeji,						
		istjerati otud žitelje,						
		sve je to još strašnije pred Bogom. »						
								
		Progon je strašniji od boja.						
		oni koji vojuju ne će prestati,						
		dok vas ne prinude,						
		– ako to mogu –						
		zanijekati vašoj Vjeri.						
								
		Oni koji, između vas, odstrane se od svoje vjere						
		i oni koji umru kao nevjernici:						
		evo onih čija djela će biti ništavna u ovom svijetu						
		  i u budućem životu;						
		evo onih koji će biti gosti Vatre;						
		oni će u njoj boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.						
								
	218	Uistinu, oni koji su vjerovali,						
		oni koji su izbjeglice,						
		oni koji su vojevali na Božjem putu:						
		evo onih koji se ufaju milosrđu Božjem.						
		– Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan –						
								
	219	Oni će te izpitivati glede vina i igara na sreću;						
		reci:						
		« Oni sačinjavaju oboje, za ljude,						
		jedan veliki grijeh i jednu prednost,						
		ali grijeh koji se tu nalazi veći je						
		  no njihova korist. »						
								
		Oni će te izpitivati o milostinjama;						
		reci:						
		« Dajite svoj suvišak.»						
		Evo kako vam Bog objašnjava svoje Znakove.						
		Možda će te vi razmišljati						
	220	o ovom donjem svijetu i o budućem životu.						
								
		Oni će te izpitivati glede siročadi;						
		reci:						
		«Činiti njima dobro jedno je dobro djelo;						
		oni su vaša braća						
		čim ih prihvatite među sebe. »						
								
		Bog razlikuje kvaritelja od onoga tko čini dobro.						
		Da je Bog htio, on bi vas ožalostio.						
		– Bog je moćan i pravedan –						
								
	221	Ne ženite žena mnogobožkinja,						
		  prije no što one ne počnu vjerovati.						
		Jedna robinja vjernica vrijedi više						
		  nego jedna slobodna mnogobožkinja.,						
		pa makar vam se i svidjela.						
								
		Ne udajitesvoje kšeriza  mnogobožce,						
		  prije no što počnu vjerovati.						
		Jedan rob vjernik vrijedi više						
		  nego slobodan čovjek mnogobožac.,						
		čak i ako vam je taj ugodan.						
								
		Evo onih koji vas pozivaju u Vatru;						
		Bog vas poziva,						
		s dopuštenjem,						
		  u Raj i u oprost.						
		On objašnjava svoje znakove ljudima;						
		možda će oni razmišljati!						
								
	222	Oni će te izpitivati						
		glede mjesečnog pranja u žena;						
		reci:						
		« To je jedno zlo.						
		Držite se po strani od žena						
		  tijekom jihove mjesečnice;						
		ne prilazite im sve dok ne budu čiste.						
								
		Kad su one čiste,						
		idite k njima, kako vam je Bog zapovijedio. »						
		– Bog voli one koji se neprekidno vraćaju k njemu;						
		on voli one koji se čiste –						
								
	223	Vaše žene su za vas vaše polje za oranje:						
		idite k svom polju, kako vi to želite,						
		ali predhodno učinite dobro djelo 						
		u svoju korist.						
								
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Znajte da će te ga susresti;						
		a ti, najavi dobru vijest vjerujućima.						
								
	224	Ne činite od Boga predmet prisega svojih,						
		da bi bili dobri,						
		da bi se bojali Boga,						
		da bi uzpostavili slogu među ljudima.						
		– Bog je onaj koji čuje i koji zna –						
								
	225	Bog vas ne će kazniti						
		 zbog jedne olako dane prisege;						
		ali on će vas kazniti						
		  za ono što su vaša srca učinila.						
		– Bog je onaj koji oprašta,						
		on je pun dobrote –						
								
	226	Jedna odgoda od četiri mjeseca propisana je						
		onima koji se obvežu prisegom						
		  da će se uzdržavati od svojih žena.						
		Ali ako odustanu od svoje odluke...						
		– Bog je onaj koji oprašta, on je milosrdan –						
								
	227	Ako oni odluče odpustiti svoje žene,						
		– Bog je onaj koji čuje, onaj koji zna –						
	228	odpuštene žene čekat će tri razdoblja						
		  prije nego se nanovo udaju.						
		Nije im dopušteno sakriti						
		  ono što je Bog stvorio u njihovoj utrobi.						
		– Ako one pak vjeruju 						
		u Boga i u posljednji Dan –						
		Ali ako njihovi muževi žele pomirenje,						
		oni imaju pravo preuzeti ih tijekom tog vremena.						
								
		Žene imaju prava						
		jednakovrijedna svojim obvezama,						
		i sukladno običaju.						
		Ljudi međutim imaju prvenstvo u odnosu na njih.						
		– Bog je moćan i pravedan–						
								
	229	Odpuštanje može biti proglašeno dva puta.						
		Preuzmite dakle svoju suprugu						
		  na jedan pristojan način,						
		ili ju pak odpustite pristojno.						
								
		Preuzeti nešto od onoga što ste joj dali						
		nije vam dopušteno.						
		– Osim ako se oboje ne bojite						
		da ne će te ostati u okviru zakona Božjih –						
								
		Ako se bojite da se ne će te pridržavati zakona Božjih,						
		ni jedna grješka ne će biti pripisana jednom ili drugom,						
		ako supruga ponudi jednu naknadu.						
								
		Takvi su zakoni Božji;						
		ne kršite ih.						
		Oni koji krše zakone Božje nepravednici su.						
								
	230	Ako jedan čovjek odpusti svoju ženu,						
		ona više nije dopuštena za njega,						
		ukoliko se ne bude preudala za drugog muža.						
								
		Ako ju odpusti,						
		i potom se oni pomire,						
		nikakva im grješka ne će biti pripisana,						
		pod uvjetom da vjeruju da su se tako						
		  pridržavali zakona Božjih.						
								
		Takvi su zakoni Božji;						
		on njih objašnjava puku koji razumije.						
								
	231	Kad budete odpustili svoje žene,						
		i one budu dosegle utvrđeni rok,						
		preuzmite ih na pristojan način,						
		ili ih pristojno odpustite.						
								
		Ne zadržavajte ih prinudno,						
		vi biste prekršili zakone.						
		– Tko bi postupio tako,						
		činio bi nažao samom sebi –						
								
		Ne razmatrajte Znakova Božjih šaleći se.						
		Sjetite se dobročinstava Božjih u vašu korist						
		i onoga što vam je odkrio u Knjizi i u Mudrosti,						
		  putem kojih vas savjetuje.						
								
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Znajte da usitinu, Bog zna sve.						
								
	232	Kad vi budete odpustili svoje žene						
		a one budu dosegle utvrđeni rok,						
		ne sprječavajte ih						
		da se preudaju za nosve supružnike svoje,						
		ako su se oni složili, sukladno običaju.						
								
								
		Evo onoga na što je savjetovan						
		onaj između vas koji vjeruje u Boga i u posljednji Dan.						
		Evo što je čistije  i jasnije za vas.						
		– Bog zna, a vi, vi ne znate –						
								
	233	Majke koje hoće dojiti svoju djecu						
		  jednim podpunim dojenjem,						
		dojit će ih dvije pune godine.						
								
		Otac treba osigurati njihovu hranu						
		i odjeću, sukladno običaju.						
		Ali svatko je obvezan toga se pridržavati						
		u skladu sa svojim sredstvima.						
								
		Majka ne treba trpjeti štete,						
		  zbog svog djeteta,						
		niti otac, zbog svog djeteta.						
		– Iste obveze pripadaju naslijedniku –						
								
		Ako, zajedničkom odlukom,						
		roditelji htjednu odbiti od sise svoje dijete,						
		nikakva im grješka ne će biti pripisana.						
								
		Ako želite svoje dijete dati dojilji,						
		nikakva vam grješka ne će biti pripisana, pod uvjetom						
		da vi izplatite prikladnu nagradu,						
		  sukladno običajima.						
								
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Znajte da Bog savršeno vidi ono što vi činite.						
								
	234	Neki među vama umru ostavljajući supruge:						
		One moraju paziti na jedan rok						
		  od četiri mjeseca i deset dana.						
		Kad taj rok prođe, ne će vam se prigovoriti						
		način na koji će one raspolagati sa sobom,						
		  sukladno običaju.						
		–Bog je obaviješten o onome što vi činite –						
								
	235	Ne će biti nikakve grješke za vama prigovoriti,						
		ako vi naumite prošnju za vjenčanje,						
		ili ako vi nikome ne govorite o svojoj namjeri;						
		– Bog zna što vi mislite o takvim ženama –						
		međutim, ne obećavajte im ništa u tajnosti;						
		jednostavno im recite prigodne riječi.						
								
		Ne zaključujte bračnog ugovora						
		prije isteka propisanog roka.						
								
								
		Znajte da Bog zna ono što je u vama.						
		Pazite se njega!						
		Znajte da je Bog onaj koji oprašta						
		i koji je pun milosti.						
								
	236	Ne će biti nikakve grješke za pripisati vama						
		ako vi odpustite svoje žene						
		koje niste dotakli						
		ili one glede kojih						
		vi nemate obveze.						
		Dajte im ono nužno:						
		bogat čovjek dat će prema svojim sredstvima,						
		a siromašan čovjek prema svojim sredstvima,						
		– sukladno običaju –						
		To je jedna obveza za one koji čine dobro.						
								
	237	Ako vi odpustite svoje žene						
		  prije no ste ih dotakli						
		ili one kojima ste već dali						
		  ono što im pripada,						
		dajte im polovicu						
		od onoga čime ste se obvezali;						
		osim ako one to odbiju,						
		ili ako onaj koji nadzire bračni ugovor						
		  odustane.						
								
		Odustati je prikladnije pobožnosti.						
		Ne zaboravite biti velikodušni						
		jedni prema drugima.						
		Bog savršeno vidi ono što vi činite.						
								
	238	Budite točni u molitvama						
		i u molitvi u sredini dana.						
		Stojte uspravno pri pobožnoj molitvi Bogu.						
								
	239	U slučaju opasnosti, molite,						
		bilo na nogama, bilo na konju.						
								
		Kad se osjetite u sigurnosti,						
		sjetite se Boga, kako vas je poučio,						
		onda kad ništa niste znali.						
								
	240	Oni, koji su pozvani k nama						
		i koji ostave svoje supruge, 						
		načinit će, u njihovu korist, jedno zavještanje						
		koje će osigurati njihovo obskrbljivanje tijekom godine dana.						
		One ne će biti istjerane iz svojih kuća,						
		ali, ako one otud iziđu, ne će vam se prigovoriti						
		način na koji one budu raspolagale same sa sobom,						
		  sukladno običaju.						
		– Bog je moćan i pravedan –						
								
	241	Odpuštene žene imaju pravo						
		na jednu pristojnu penziju:						
		nju njima osigurati jedna je obveza						
		  za one koji se boje Boga						
								
	242	Evo kako Bog objašnjava svoje Znakove.						
		Možda će te vi razumjeti!						
								
	243	Nisi li ti vidio one koji, plašeći se umrijeti,						
		  u tisućama su izišli iz svojih kuća?						
		Bog je njima rekao: « Umrite! »						
		Ali potom ih je on nanovo oživio.						
		Bog je onaj koji dodjeljuje milost ljudima,						
		ali većina od njih nije zahvalna.						
								
	244	Borite se na Božjem putu.						
		Znajte da Bog čuje i zna sve.						
								
	245	Onome koji Bogu načini jedan lijep zajam,						
		Bog će vratiti u izobilju.						
		Bog zatvara svoju ruku, ili ju pak otvara.						
		Vi se vraćate k njemu.						
								
	246	Nisi li ti promotrio						
		Starješine puka Izraelovog poslije Mojsija?						
		Oni rekoše svom proroku:						
		« Daj nam jednog kralja,						
		tada ćemo se mi boriti na Božjem putu. »						
								
		On reče:						
		« Nama je nemoguće						
		ne boriti se na Božjem putu,						
		jer smo bili istjerani iz naših domova						
		i odvojeni od naše djece. »						
								
		Ali kad im boj bi zapovjeđen,						
		oni okrenuše leđa						
		– s izuzetkom jednog malog broja među njima –						
		Bog poznaje nepravedne.						
								
	247	Njihov  im prorok reče:						
		« Bog vam je poslao Saula kao kralja. »						
								
		Oni rekoše:						
		« Kako će on imati vlast nad nama?						
		Mi imamo više prava od njega na kraljevanje,						
		i on čak nije ni bogatiji od nas. »						
								
		On reče:						
		« Bog mu je dao prednost između svih vas						
		i darovao mu nadmoć nad vama						
		zbog znanja i stasa čime je nadaren. »						
								
		Bog daje svoje kraljevstvo kome on hoće;						
		Bog je nazočan posvuda i on zna.						
								
	248	Njihov im prorok reče:						
		« Evo što će biti znak njegovog kraljevstva:						
		kovčeg će doći k vama, nošen od anđela.						
		On sadržava jednu sakinu vašeg Gospoda						
		i ostatke ostavljene od Mojsijeve obitelji						
		i od Aaronove obitelji.						
		Evo uistinu jednog Znaka za vas,						
		  ako ste vi vjerujući. »						
								
	249	Saul reče:kad krenu na put sa svojom vojskom:						
		Bog će vas sigurno izkušavati jednom rijekom:						
		onaj koji bude iz nje pio neće biti sa mnom,						
		a onaj koji ne bude iz nje pio, bit će sa mnom,						
		– s izuzetkom onoga koji će zahvatiti						
		  malo vode pomoću ruke » –						
		Potom su oni pili,						
		izuzev jednog malog broja među njimna.						
		Kad je on prešao rijeku s onima koji su vjerovali,						
		oni drugi rekoše:						
		« Mi danas nemamo nikakve snage, danas,						
		da bi se suprotstavili Goliatu i njegovoj vojsci. »						
								
		Glede onih koji su mislili susresti Boga,						
		oni rekoše:						
		« Koliko je puta jedna mala grupa ljudi						
		 pobijedila jednu brojniju grupu,						
		  s Božjim dopuštenjem? »						
		– Bog je s onima koji su strpljivi –						
								
	250	Oni rekoše, idući protiv Golijata i njegove vojske:						
		« Gospode naš!						
		Daj nam strpljenja;						
		učvrsti naše korake,						
		daj nam pobjedu nad nevjernim narodom. »						
								
	251	Oni ga natjeraše u bijeg, s Božjim dopuštenjem.						
		David ubi Golijata.						
		Bog dodijeli Davidu kraljevstvo i mudrost;						
		on ga je poučio čemu je htio.						
								
		Da Bog ne potiskuje neke ljude putem drugih						
		zemlja bi bila izkvarena.						
		Ali Bog je onaj koji dijeli milost svijetu.						
								
	252	Evo znakova Božjih:						
		mi ih tebi priopćavamo, uistinu,						
		jer ti si jedan od proroka.						
								
	253	Mi smo izvjesne proroke uzdigli						
		  iznad drugih.						
		Ima ih kojima je Bog govorio,						
		a Bog je više njih uzdigao između njih						
		na više stupnjeve.						
								
		Mi smo dali Isusu, sinu Marijinom,						
		  očigledne dokaze.						
		Mi smo ga ojačali Duhom svetosti.						
								
		Da je to Bog htio,						
		oni koji dođoše poslije njih ne bi se međusobno ubijali,						
		onda kad su nesumnjivi znakovi njima već bili došli.						
								
		Ali oni nisu bili složni:						
		Neki, među njima, vjerovali su						
		a drugi biše nevjernici.						
								
		Da je Bog tako htio,						
		oni se ne bi nikada međusobno ubijali,						
		ali Bog čini što on hoće.						
								
	254	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Dajite u milostinju						
		jedan dio onoga što smo vam mi dodijelili						
		prije dolaska Dana						
		kad ni trgovina, ni prijeteljstvo, ni posredovanje						
		  ne će se održati.						
		– Nevjernici su nepravedni –						
								
	255	Bože!						
		Nema Boga osim njega:						
		Živoga;						
		onaj koji istrajava po sebi samom!						
								
		Ni drijemež, ni san						
		  njega ne mogu obhrvati!						
		Sve što je u nebesima i na zemlji						
		  njemu pripada!						
								
		Tko će posredovati kod njega, bez njegovog dopuštenja?						
		On zna						
		ono što se nalazi pred ljudima i iza njih,						
		dok oni znaju, od njegove znanosti, samo ono što on hoće.						
		Njegov se Prijestol prostire nad nebesima i nad zemljom:						
		njihovo održavanje u postojanju						
		  njemu nije opterećenje.						
		On je Svevišnji, Nedostižni.						
								
	256	Nema prinude u vjeri!						
		Pravi put se razlikuje od grijeha.						
								
		Onaj koji ne vjeruje u Tagut,						
		i koji vjeruje u Boga,						
		dohvatio je najčvršću držku, onu bez napukline.						
		– Bog je onaj koji čuje i koji zna sve –						
								
	257	Bog je Gospodar vjerujućima:						
		on njih izvodi iz tmina na svjetlost.						
								
		Nevjernici imaju za gazdu Tagute:						
		oni njih uvode sa svjetlosti u tamine:						
		oni će biti gosti Vatre						
		gdje će boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.						
								
	258	Nisi li ti vidio onoga koji je razpravljao s Abrahamom,						
		glede njegovog Gospoda;						
		jer mu je Bog  dao kraljevstvo.						
								
		Abraham njemu kaže:						
		« Moj Gospod je onaj koji oživljava 						
		  i koji usmrćuje. »						
								
		On odgovara:						
		« Ja sam taj koji oživljava i koji usmrćuje! »						
								
		Abraham kaže:						
		« Bog dovodi sunce s Istoka,						
		dovedi ga dakle ti s Istoka! »						
								
		Onaj koji ne vjeruje bi zbunjen.						
		Bog ne upravlja nepravednog puka.						
								
	259	A onaj koji prođe pokraj jednog grada?						
		Grad bijaše prazan i urušen.						
								
		On reče:						
		« Kako će ga Bog oživjeti nakon njegove smrti? »						
								
		Bog ga je usmrtio na stotinu godina,						
		potom ga je uskrsnuo,						
		zatim mu reče:						
		« Koliko si ti vremena ostao ondje? »						
								
		On odgovori:						
		« Ostao sam jedan dan, ili jedan dio dana. 						
								
		Bog reče:						
		« Ne, ti si ostao stotinu godina.						
		Pogledaj tvoju hranu i tvoje piće:						
		oni nisu pokvareni.						
		Pogledaj svog magarca;						
		– Mi od tebe činimo jedan Znak za ljude –						
		pogledaj kosture:						
		evo kako ćemo mi sakupiti njih,						
		potom ćemo ih ogrnuti mesom. »						
								
		Pred tom očiglednošću, čovjek reče:						
		« Ja znam da je Bog nadmoćniji od svake stvari. »						
								
	260	Abraham reče:						
		« Gospode moj!						
		Pokaži mi kako ti vraćaš život mrtvima. »						
								
		Bog reče:						
		« Je li ti to ne vjeruješ? »						
								
		On odgovori:						
		Da, ja vjerujem,						
		ali to je da bi se moje srce umirilo. »						
								
		Bog reče:						
		« Uzmi četiri ptice;						
		rasijeci ih na komade;						
		postavi ih na odvojena brda,						
		potom ih pozovi:						
		one će dotrčati k tebi u punoj brzini.						
		Znaj da je Bog moćan i mudar.» 						
								
	261	Oni koji troše svoja dobra na Božjem putu						
		slični su zrnu koje daje sedam klasova;						
		a svaki klas sadržava stotinu zrna.						
								
		Bog dodijeljuje dvostruko kome on hoće.						
		Bog je nazočan posvuda i on zna.						
								
	262	Oni koji troše svoja dobra na putu Božjem						
		i koji svoja davanja ne prate						
		prijekorima i nanošenjem krivde:						
		evo onih koji će primiti svoju nagradu						
		  kod svog Gospoda.						
		Oni potom ne će osjetiti nikakav strah,						
		oni ne će biti ožalošćeni.						
								
	263	Jedna pristojna riječ i oprost						
		su bolji nego milostinja popraćena okrivljavanjem.						
		– Bog dostaje sam sebi						
		i on je pun milosti –						
								
	264	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Ne obezvrjeđujte svoje milostinje						
		pridružujući joj prijekor ili okrivljavanje,						
		kao onaj koji daje svoja dobra						
		  da bi bio viđen od ljudi,						
		i koji ne vjeruje u Boga ni u posljednji Dan.						
								
		On sliči jednoj stijeni prekrivenoj zemljom:						
		jedna će ju jaka kiša politi i ostaviti golu.						
								
		Ti ljudi ne mogu ništa izvući iz onoga što su stekli.						
		– Bog ne upravlja nevjernog naroda –						
								
	265	Oni koji troše svoja dobra,						
		sa željom da ugode Bogu						
		i da bi ojačali svoje duše,						
		sliče vrtu zasađenom na brijegu:						
		ako na njega padne jaka kiša,						
		on će dati dva puta dvostruko plodova;						
		ako ga ne dohvati jaka kiša,						
		rosa će to nadomjestiti.						
		– Bog savršeno vidi što vi činite –						
								
	266	Svaki od vas ne bi li poželio imati						
		jedan vrt zasađen palmama i vinovom lozom,						
		gdje teku potoci						
		i koji donose sve vrste plodova.?						
								
		Starost ga dostignu;						
		njegova su djeca nejaka;						
		jedan vatreni vjetar zahvati mu vrt i sprži ga.						
		Evo kako Bog vama pokazuje Znakove.						
		– Možda će te vi razmišljati! –						
								
	267	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Dajite u milostinju najbolje stvari						
		  koje ste stekli						
		i plodove koje, za vas,						
		mi dajemo da niču iz zemlje.						
		Ne izabirite ono što je bezvrijedno						
		osim u mjeri u kojoj to ne opazite.						
		Znajte da uistinu Bog dostaje sam sebi						
		i da je dostojan hvalospjeva.						
								
	268	Zloduh vam je zaprijetio sirotinjom;						
		zapovijeda vam sramotna djela.						
		Bog vam obećava oprost i milost.						
		Bog je posvuda i on zna.						
								
	269	On daje mudrost kome on hoće.						
		Onaj kome mudrost bijaše dana						
		dobit će jedno veliko dobro.						
		Oni koji su nadareni razumom						
		jedini su koji to znaju.						
								
	270	Koju god milostinju da podijelite,						
		koji god da bude zavjet kojim ste se obvezali,						
		Bog to uistinu zna.						
		Nepravedni ne će naći svog branitelja.						
								
	271	Ako vi dajete milostinju na jedan vidljiv način,						
		to je dobro.						
		Ako ju vi sakrijete da biste ju dali sirotima,						
		to je bolje za vas.						
		Ona briše jedan dio vaših loših djela.						
		– Bog je dobro obaviješten o onome što vi činite –						
								
	272	Ne pripada tebi usmjeravati nevjerne.						
		Bog usmjerava koga on hoće.						
								
		Ono što vi utrošite u milostinju na vaše je dobro.						
		Ne činite truda osim iz želje za licem Božjim.						
		Ono što potrošite u milostinju						
		  bit će vam točno vraćeno;						
		vi ne će te biti oštećeni.						
								
	273	Glede milostinje koju dajete siromašnima						
		 koji su osiromašeni na putu Božjem						
		i koji ne mogu više hodati zemljom;						
		  – Neznalica ih drži bogatima,						
		zbog njihovog suzdržanog ponašanja.						
		Ti ih prepoznaješ po izgledu:						
		oni ne traže milostinje s navaljivanjem –						
		Bog savršeno zna						
		ono što vi potrošite za njih u dobročinstvima.						
								
	274	Oni koji troše svoja dobra,						
		noću i danju,						
		javno i tajno,						
		naći će naknadu svoju kod svog Gospoda:						
		oni više ne će iskusiti nikakvog straha;						
		oni ne će biti ožalošćeni.						
								
								
								
	275	Oni koji se hrane lihvarenjem						
		ne će se uspraviti na Dan Suđenja						
		drukčije no što se uspravlja						
		onaj koga je Zloduh divljački udario.						
								
		Bit će to tako, jer oni kažu:						
		« Prodaja je slična lihvarenju. »						
		Ali Bog je dopustio prodaju						
		a zabranio lihvarenje.						
								
		Onaj koji se odrekne lihvarenja,						
		čim jedna pobuda od strane Gospoda njemu stigne,						
		sačuvat će ono što je dobio.						
		Njegov slučaj ovisi o Bogu.						
								
		Ali oni koji se vrate lihvarenju						
		bit će gosti Vatre						
		gdje će boraviti kao bezsmrtnici.						
								
	276	Bog će uništiti korist od lihve						
		i oplodit će milostinju.						
		On ne voli nevjernika, grješnika.						
								
	277	Oni koji vjeruju;						
		oni koji čine dobro,						
		oni koji obavljaju molitvu,						
		oni koji daju milostinju:						
		evo onih koji će naći svoju naknadu						
		  kod svog Gospodina.						
		Oni više ne će osjetiti nikakvog straha;						
		oni ne će biti ožalošćeni.						
								
	278	O vi koji vjerujete!						
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Odrecite se, ako ste vjerujući,						
		onoga što vam je ostalo od prihoda s lihvarenja.						
								
	279	Ako to ne učinite,						
		očekujte rat od Boga						
		i njegovog Proroka.						
								
		Ako se pokajete,						
		vaša će glavnica ostati.						
		Ne oštetite nikoga						
		i vi ne će te biti oštećeni.						
								
	280	Ako se vaš dužnik nalazi u neprilici,						
		čekajte da bude u mogućnosti platiti vam.						
		Ako podijelite milostinju napuštajući svoja prava,						
		to je povoljno za vas.						
		Kad biste znali!						
								
	281	Bojte se Dana tijekom kojeg će te se vratiti k Bogu;						
		Dana kad će svaki čovjek primiti cijenu svojih djela;						
		Dana kad nitko ne će biti oštećen.						
								
	282	O vi koji vjerujete!Zapišite dug koji ste ugovorili						
		i koji je plativ u jednom određenom roku.						
								
		Nek jedan pisar, izabran između vas,						
		  njega pošteno zapiše;						
		nek ni jedan pisar ne odbije zapisati ga						
		  kako ga je Bog poučio.						
		Nek zapiše ono što dužnik diktira;						
		nek se boji svog Gospoda;						
		nek ne odbija ništa od duga.						
								
		Ako je dužnik lud ili malouman,						
		ako ne može sam izdiktirati,						
		nek njegov predstavnik pošteno izdiktira.						
								
		Tražite svjedočenje dvaju svjedoka						
		  između svojih ljudi.						
		Ako ne nađete dvojicu ljudi,						
		izaberite jednog čovjeka i dvije žene,						
		između onih koje vi prihvaćate kao svjedoke.						
								
		Ako se jedna od dviju žena prevari,						
		druga će ju podsjetiti na ono što bude zaboravila.						
								
		Nek svjedoci ne izbjegnu						
		kad budu pozvani svjedočiti.						
								
		Ne dvoumite zapisati taj dug, mali ili veliki,						
		utvrđujući njegov rok istjecanja.						
								
		Evo što je pravednije pred Bogom,						
		što daje više vrijednosti svjedočenju						
		i što je prikladnije za sa vas skinuti						
		  svaku vrstu sumnje,						
		osim ako se ne radi o trgovini						
		koju ste zaključili neposredno među sobom.						
		Tada nema grješke za prigovoriti vam,						
		ako to ne zapišete.						
								
		Pozovite svjedoke,						
		kad se upustite u pogađanje.						
		Ne vršite prisilu ni na svjedoka ni na pisara.						
		Ako biste to učinili,						
		pokazali biste svoju izopačenost.						
		Bojte se Boga!						
		Bog vas poučava.						
		Bog poznaje svaku stvar.						
								
	283	Ako ste na putovanju						
		i ne nađete pisara,						
		vi će te ostaviti zaloge.						
								
		Ako jedan od vas povjeri pohranu drugome,						
		onaj koji primi pohranu morat će ju vratiti.						
		Nek se boji Boga, svog Gospoda!						
								
		Ne odbijajte svjedočiti.						
		Onaj koji podbije svjedočiti griješi prema svom srcu.						
		– Bog zna ono što vi činite –						
								
	284	Ono što je u nebesima i što je na zemlji						
		  pripada Bogu.						
								
		Ako odkrijete ono što je u vama,						
		ili to sakrijete,						
		Bog će vam iskati račun.						
								
		On oprašta kome on hoće;						
		on kažnjava koga on hoće.						
		Bog je nadmoćan nad svakom stvari.						
								
	285	Prorok je vjerovao onome što mu je sišlo						
		sa strane njegovog Gospoda.						
								
		On i vjerujući;						
		svi su vjerovali u Boga, u njegove anđele,						
		u njegove knjige i njegove proroke.						
								
		Mi ne činimo razlike među njegovim prorocima.						
		Oni su rekli:						
		« Mi smo čuli i mi smo se pokorili. »						
								
		Tvoj oprost, naš Gospode!						
		Prema tebi je konačni povratak!						
								
	286	Bog svakom čovjeku nameće						
		samo ono što ovaj može nositi.						
								
								
		Dobro koje je učinio,						
		njemu će se vratiti,						
		kao i zlo koje bude nanio.						
								
		Gospode naš!						
		Ne kažnjavaj nas za grješke počinjene						
		u zaboravu i pogrješkom.						
								
		Gospode naš!						
		Ne optereti nas tovarom sličnim						
		  onome kojim ti teretiš one koji su živjeli prije nas.						
								
		Gospode naš!						
		Ne tovari na nas ono što ne možemo nositi.						
								
		Izbriši naše grijehe!						
		Oprosti nam!						
		Podari nam milosrđe!						
								
		Ti si naš Gospodar!						
		Daj nam pobjedu nad nevjernim narodom.
