| 1. O ye who believe! 
												fulfil (all) obligations.
 1. Lawful unto you (for food) 
												are all four-footed animals, 
												with the exceptions named: But 
												animals of the chase are 
												forbidden while ye are in the 
												sacred precincts or in pilgrim 
												garb: for Allah doth command 
												according to His will and plan.
 
 3. O ye who believe! Violate not 
												the sanctity of the symbols of 
												Allah, nor of the sacred month, 
												nor of the animals brought for 
												sacrifice, nor the garlands that 
												mark out such animals, nor the 
												people resorting to the sacred 
												house, seeking of the bounty and 
												good pleasure of their Lord. But 
												when ye are clear of the sacred 
												precincts and of pilgrim garb, 
												ye may hunt and let not the 
												hatred of some people in (once) 
												shutting you out of the Sacred 
												Mosque lead you to transgression 
												(and hostility on your part). 
												Help ye one another in 
												righteousness and piety, but 
												help ye not one another in sin 
												and rancour: fear Allah. for 
												Allah is strict in punishment.
 
 4. Forbidden to you (for food) 
												are: dead meat, blood, the flesh 
												of swine, and that on which hath 
												been invoked the name of other 
												than Allah. that which hath been 
												killed by strangling, or by a 
												violent blow, or by a headlong 
												fall, or by being gored to 
												death; that which hath been 
												(partly) eaten by a wild animal; 
												unless ye are able to slaughter 
												it (in due form); that which is 
												sacrificed on stone (altars); 
												(forbidden) also is the division 
												(of meat) by raffling with 
												arrows: that is impiety. This 
												day have those who reject faith 
												given up all hope of your 
												religion: yet fear them not but 
												fear Me. This day have I 
												perfected your religion for you, 
												completed My favour upon you, 
												and have chosen for you Islam as 
												your religion. But if any is 
												forced by hunger, with no 
												inclination to transgression, 
												Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, 
												Most Merciful.
 
 5. They ask thee what is lawful 
												to them (as food). Say: lawful 
												unto you are (all) things good 
												and pure: and what ye have 
												taught your trained hunting 
												animals (to catch) in the manner 
												directed to you by Allah. eat 
												what they catch for you, but 
												pronounce the name of Allah over 
												it: and fear Allah. for Allah is 
												swift in taking account.
 
 6. This day are (all) things 
												good and pure made lawful unto 
												you. The food of the People of 
												the Book is lawful unto you and 
												yours is lawful unto them. 
												(Lawful unto you in marriage) 
												are (not only) chaste women who 
												are believers, but chaste women 
												among the People of the Book, 
												revealed before your time,- when 
												ye give them their due dowers, 
												and desire chastity, not 
												lewdness, nor secret intrigues 
												if any one rejects faith, 
												fruitless is his work, and in 
												the Hereafter he will be in the 
												ranks of those who have lost 
												(all spiritual good).
 
 7. O ye who believe! when ye 
												prepare for prayer, wash your 
												faces, and your hands (and arms) 
												to the elbows; Rub your heads 
												(with water); and (wash) your 
												feet to the ankles. If ye are in 
												a state of ceremonial impurity, 
												bathe your whole body. But if ye 
												are ill, or on a journey, or one 
												of you cometh from offices of 
												nature, or ye have been in 
												contact with women, and ye find 
												no water, then take for 
												yourselves clean sand or earth, 
												and rub therewith your faces and 
												hands, Allah doth not wish to 
												place you in a difficulty, but 
												to make you clean, and to 
												complete his favour to you, that 
												ye may be grateful.
 
 8. And call in remembrance the 
												favour of Allah unto you, and 
												His covenant, which He ratified 
												with you, when ye said: "We hear 
												and we obey": And fear Allah, 
												for Allah knoweth well the 
												secrets of your hearts.
 
 9. O ye who believe! stand out 
												firmly for Allah, as witnesses 
												to fair dealing, and let not the 
												hatred of others to you make you 
												swerve to wrong and depart from 
												justice. Be just: that is next 
												to piety: and fear Allah. For 
												Allah is well-acquainted with 
												all that ye do.
 
 10. To those who believe and do 
												deeds of righteousness hath 
												Allah promised forgiveness and a 
												great reward.
 
 11. Those who reject faith and 
												deny our signs will be 
												companions of Hell-fire.
 
 12. O ye who believe! Call in 
												remembrance the favour of Allah 
												unto you when certain men formed 
												the design to stretch out their 
												hands against you, but ((Allah)) 
												held back their hands from you: 
												so fear Allah. And on Allah let 
												believers put (all) their trust.
 
 13. Allah did aforetime take a 
												covenant from the Children of 
												Israel, and we appointed twelve 
												captains among them. And Allah 
												said: "I am with you: if ye 
												(but) establish regular prayers, 
												practise regular charity, 
												believe in my apostles, honour 
												and assist them, and loan to 
												Allah a beautiful loan, verily I 
												will wipe out from you your 
												evils, and admit you to gardens 
												with rivers flowing beneath; but 
												if any of you, after this, 
												resisteth faith, he hath truly 
												wandered from the path or 
												rectitude."
 
 14. But because of their breach 
												of their covenant, We cursed 
												them, and made their hearts grow 
												hard; they change the words from 
												their (right) places and forget 
												a good part of the message that 
												was sent them, nor wilt thou 
												cease to find them- barring a 
												few - ever bent on (new) 
												deceits: but forgive them, and 
												overlook (their misdeeds): for 
												Allah loveth those who are kind.
 
 15. From those, too, who call 
												themselves Christians, We did 
												take a covenant, but they forgot 
												a good part of the message that 
												was sent them: so we estranged 
												them, with enmity and hatred 
												between the one and the other, 
												to the day of judgment. And soon 
												will Allah show them what it is 
												they have done.
 
 16. O people of the Book! There 
												hath come to you our Messenger, 
												revealing to you much that ye 
												used to hide in the Book, and 
												passing over much (that is now 
												unnecessary). There hath come to 
												you from Allah a (new) light and 
												a perspicuous Book,-
 
 17. Wherewith Allah guideth all 
												who seek His good pleasure to 
												ways of peace and safety, and 
												leadeth them out of darkness, by 
												His will, unto the light,- 
												guideth them to a path that is 
												straight.
 
 18. In blasphemy indeed are 
												those that say that Allah is 
												Christ the son of Mary. Say: 
												"Who then hath the least power 
												against Allah, if His will were 
												to destroy Christ the son of 
												Mary, his mother, and all every 
												- one that is on the earth? For 
												to Allah belongeth the dominion 
												of the heavens and the earth, 
												and all that is between. He 
												createth what He pleaseth. For 
												Allah hath power over all 
												things."
 
 19. (Both) the Jews and the 
												Christians say: "We are sons of 
												Allah, and his beloved." Say: 
												"Why then doth He punish you for 
												your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- 
												of the men he hath created: He 
												forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and 
												He punisheth whom He pleaseth: 
												and to Allah belongeth the 
												dominion of the heavens and the 
												earth, and all that is between: 
												and unto Him is the final goal 
												(of all)"
 
 20. O People of the Book! Now 
												hath come unto you, making 
												(things) clear unto you, Our 
												Messenger, after the break in 
												(the series of) our apostles, 
												lest ye should say: "There came 
												unto us no bringer of glad 
												tidings and no warner (from 
												evil)": But now hath come unto 
												you a bringer of glad tidings 
												and a warner (from evil). And 
												Allah hath power over all 
												things.
 
 21. Remember Moses said to his 
												people: "O my people! Call in 
												remembrance the favour of Allah 
												unto you, when He produced 
												prophets among you, made you 
												kings, and gave you what He had 
												not given to any other among the 
												peoples.
 
 22. "O my people! Enter the holy 
												land which Allah hath assigned 
												unto you, and turn not back 
												ignominiously, for then will ye 
												be overthrown, to your own 
												ruin."
 
 23. They said: "O Moses! In this 
												land are a people of exceeding 
												strength: Never shall we enter 
												it until they leave it: if 
												(once) they leave, then shall we 
												enter."
 
 24. (But) among (their) 
												Allah.fearing men were two on 
												whom Allah had bestowed His 
												grace: They said: "Assault them 
												at the (proper) Gate: when once 
												ye are in, victory will be 
												yours; But on Allah put your 
												trust if ye have faith."
 
 25. They said: "O Moses! while 
												they remain there, never shall 
												we be able to enter, to the end 
												of time. Go thou, and thy Lord, 
												and fight ye two, while we sit 
												here (and watch)."
 
 26. He said: "O my Lord! I have 
												power only over myself and my 
												brother: so separate us from 
												this rebellious people!"
 
 27. Allah said: "Therefore will 
												the land be out of their reach 
												for forty years: In distraction 
												will they wander through the 
												land: But sorrow thou not over 
												these rebellious people.
 
 28. Recite to them the truth of 
												the story of the two sons of 
												Adam. Behold! they each 
												presented a sacrifice (to 
												Allah.: It was accepted from 
												one, but not from the other. 
												Said the latter: "Be sure I will 
												slay thee." "Surely," said the 
												former, "(Allah) doth accept of 
												the sacrifice of those who are 
												righteous.
 
 29. "If thou dost stretch thy 
												hand against me, to slay me, it 
												is not for me to stretch my hand 
												against thee to slay thee: for I 
												do fear Allah, the cherisher of 
												the worlds.
 
 30. "For me, I intend to let 
												thee draw on thyself my sin as 
												well as thine, for thou wilt be 
												among the companions of the 
												fire, and that is the reward of 
												those who do wrong."
 
 31. The (selfish) soul of the 
												other led him to the murder of 
												his brother: he murdered him, 
												and became (himself) one of the 
												lost ones.
 
 32. Then Allah sent a raven, who 
												scratched the ground, to show 
												him how to hide the shame of his 
												brother. "Woe is me!" said he; 
												"Was I not even able to be as 
												this raven, and to hide the 
												shame of my brother?" then he 
												became full of regrets-
 
 33. On that account: We ordained 
												for the Children of Israel that 
												if any one slew a person - 
												unless it be for murder or for 
												spreading mischief in the land - 
												it would be as if he slew the 
												whole people: and if any one 
												saved a life, it would be as if 
												he saved the life of the whole 
												people. Then although there came 
												to them Our apostles with clear 
												signs, yet, even after that, 
												many of them continued to commit 
												excesses in the land.
 
 34. The punishment of those who 
												wage war against Allah and His 
												Messenger, and strive with might 
												and main for mischief through 
												the land is: execution, or 
												crucifixion, or the cutting off 
												of hands and feet from opposite 
												sides, or exile from the land: 
												that is their disgrace in this 
												world, and a heavy punishment is 
												theirs in the Hereafter;
 
 35. Except for those who repent 
												before they fall into your 
												power: in that case, know that 
												Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most 
												Merciful.
 
 36. O ye who believe! Do your 
												duty to Allah, seek the means of 
												approach unto Him, and strive 
												with might and main in his 
												cause: that ye may prosper.
 
 37. As to those who reject 
												Faith,- if they had everything 
												on earth, and twice repeated, to 
												give as ransom for the penalty 
												of the Day of Judgment, it would 
												never be accepted of them, 
												theirs would be a grievous 
												penalty.
 
 37. Their wish will be to get 
												out of the Fire, but never will 
												they get out therefrom: their 
												penalty will be one that 
												endures.
 
 38. As to the thief, Male or 
												female, cut off his or her 
												hands: a punishment by way of 
												example, from Allah, for their 
												crime: and Allah is Exalted in 
												power.
 
 39. But if the thief repents 
												after his crime, and amends his 
												conduct, Allah turneth to him in 
												forgiveness; for Allah is 
												Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
 
 40. Knowest thou not that to 
												Allah (alone) belongeth the 
												dominion of the heavens and the 
												earth? He punisheth whom He 
												pleaseth, and He forgiveth whom 
												He pleaseth: and Allah hath 
												power over all things.
 
 41. O Messenger. let not those 
												grieve thee, who race each other 
												into unbelief: (whether it be) 
												among those who say "We believe" 
												with their lips but whose hearts 
												have no faith; or it be among 
												the Jews,- men who will listen 
												to any lie,- will listen even to 
												others who have never so much as 
												come to thee. They change the 
												words from their (right) times 
												and places: they say, "If ye are 
												given this, take it, but if not, 
												beware!" If any one's trial is 
												intended by Allah, thou hast no 
												authority in the least for him 
												against Allah. For such - it is 
												not Allah.s will to purify their 
												hearts. For them there is 
												disgrace in this world, and in 
												the Hereafter a heavy 
												punishment.
 
 42. (They are fond of) listening 
												to falsehood, of devouring 
												anything forbidden. If they do 
												come to thee, either judge 
												between them, or decline to 
												interfere. If thou decline, they 
												cannot hurt thee in the least. 
												If thou judge, judge in equity 
												between them. For Allah loveth 
												those who judge in equity.
 
 43. But why do they come to thee 
												for decision, when they have 
												(their own) law before them?- 
												therein is the (plain) command 
												of Allah. yet even after that, 
												they would turn away. For they 
												are not (really) People of 
												Faith.
 
 44. It was We who revealed the 
												law (to Moses): therein was 
												guidance and light. By its 
												standard have been judged the 
												Jews, by the prophets who bowed 
												(as in Islam) to Allah.s will, 
												by the rabbis and the doctors of 
												law: for to them was entrusted 
												the protection of Allah.s book, 
												and they were witnesses thereto: 
												therefore fear not men, but fear 
												me, and sell not my signs for a 
												miserable price. If any do fail 
												to judge by (the light of) what 
												Allah hath revealed, they are 
												(no better than) Unbelievers.
 
 45. We ordained therein for 
												them: "Life for life, eye for 
												eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, 
												tooth for tooth, and wounds 
												equal for equal." But if any one 
												remits the retaliation by way of 
												charity, it is an act of 
												atonement for himself. And if 
												any fail to judge by (the light 
												of) what Allah hath revealed, 
												they are (No better than) 
												wrong-doers.
 
 46. And in their footsteps We 
												sent Jesus the son of Mary, 
												confirming the Law that had come 
												before him: We sent him the 
												Gospel: therein was guidance and 
												light, and confirmation of the 
												Law that had come before him: a 
												guidance and an admonition to 
												those who fear Allah.
 
 47. Let the people of the Gospel 
												judge by what Allah hath 
												revealed therein. If any do fail 
												to judge by (the light of) what 
												Allah hath revealed, they are 
												(no better than) those who 
												rebel.
 
 48. To thee We sent the 
												Scripture in truth, confirming 
												the scripture that came before 
												it, and guarding it in safety: 
												so judge between them by what 
												Allah hath revealed, and follow 
												not their vain desires, 
												diverging from the Truth that 
												hath come to thee. To each among 
												you have we prescribed a law and 
												an open way. If Allah had so 
												willed, He would have made you a 
												single people, but (His plan is) 
												to test you in what He hath 
												given you: so strive as in a 
												race in all virtues. The goal of 
												you all is to Allah. it is He 
												that will show you the truth of 
												the matters in which ye dispute;
 
 49. And this (He commands): 
												Judge thou between them by what 
												Allah hath revealed, and follow 
												not their vain desires, but 
												beware of them lest they beguile 
												thee from any of that (teaching) 
												which Allah hath sent down to 
												thee. And if they turn away, be 
												assured that for some of their 
												crime it is Allah.s purpose to 
												punish them. And truly most men 
												are rebellious.
 
 50. Do they then seek after a 
												judgment of (the days of) 
												ignorance? But who, for a people 
												whose faith is assured, can give 
												better judgment than Allah.
 
 51. O ye who believe! take not 
												the Jews and the Christians for 
												your friends and protectors: 
												They are but friends and 
												protectors to each other. And he 
												amongst you that turns to them 
												(for friendship) is of them. 
												Verily Allah guideth not a 
												people unjust.
 
 52. Those in whose hearts is a 
												disease - thou seest how eagerly 
												they run about amongst them, 
												saying: "We do fear lest a 
												change of fortune bring us 
												disaster." Ah! perhaps Allah 
												will give (thee) victory, or a 
												decision according to His will. 
												Then will they repent of the 
												thoughts which they secretly 
												harboured in their hearts.
 
 53. And those who believe will 
												say: "Are these the men who 
												swore their strongest oaths by 
												Allah, that they were with you?" 
												All that they do will be in 
												vain, and they will fall into 
												(nothing but) ruin.
 
 54. O ye who believe! if any 
												from among you turn back from 
												his Faith, soon will Allah 
												produce a people whom He will 
												love as they will love Him,- 
												lowly with the believers, mighty 
												against the rejecters, fighting 
												in the way of Allah, and never 
												afraid of the reproaches of such 
												as find fault. That is the grace 
												of Allah, which He will bestow 
												on whom He pleaseth. And Allah 
												encompasseth all, and He knoweth 
												all things.
 
 55. Your (real) friends are (no 
												less than) Allah, His Messenger, 
												and the (fellowship of) 
												believers,- those who establish 
												regular prayers and regular 
												charity, and they bow down 
												humbly (in worship).
 
 56. As to those who turn (for 
												friendship) to Allah, His 
												Messenger, and the (fellowship 
												of) believers,- it is the 
												fellowship of Allah that must 
												certainly triumph.
 
 57. O ye who believe! take not 
												for friends and protectors those 
												who take your religion for a 
												mockery or sport,- whether among 
												those who received the Scripture 
												before you, or among those who 
												reject Faith; but fear ye Allah, 
												if ye have faith (indeed).
 
 58. When ye proclaim your call 
												to prayer they take it (but) as 
												mockery and sport; that is 
												because they are a people 
												without understanding.
 
 59. Say: "O people of the Book! 
												Do ye disapprove of us for no 
												other reason than that we 
												believe in Allah, and the 
												revelation that hath come to us 
												and that which came before (us), 
												and (perhaps) that most of you 
												are rebellious and disobedient?"
 
 60. Say: "Shall I point out to 
												you something much worse than 
												this, (as judged) by the 
												treatment it received from 
												Allah. those who incurred the 
												curse of Allah and His wrath, 
												those of whom some He 
												transformed into apes and swine, 
												those who worshipped evil;- 
												these are (many times) worse in 
												rank, and far more astray from 
												the even path!"
 
 61. When they come to thee, they 
												say: "We believe": but in fact 
												they enter with a mind against 
												Faith, and they go out with the 
												same but Allah knoweth fully all 
												that they hide.
 
 62. Many of them dost thou see, 
												racing each other in sin and 
												rancour, and their eating of 
												things forbidden. Evil indeed 
												are the things that they do.
 
 63. Why do not the rabbis and 
												the doctors of Law forbid them 
												from their (habit of) uttering 
												sinful words and eating things 
												forbidden? Evil indeed are their 
												works.
 
 64. The Jews say: "(Allah)'s 
												hand is tied up." Be their hands 
												tied up and be they accursed for 
												the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, 
												both His hands are widely 
												outstretched: He giveth and 
												spendeth (of His bounty) as He 
												pleaseth. But the revelation 
												that cometh to thee from Allah 
												increaseth in most of them their 
												obstinate rebellion and 
												blasphemy. Amongst them we have 
												placed enmity and hatred till 
												the Day of Judgment. Every time 
												they kindle the fire of war, 
												Allah doth extinguish it; but 
												they (ever) strive to do 
												mischief on earth. And Allah 
												loveth not those who do 
												mischief.
 
 65. If only the People of the 
												Book had believed and been 
												righteous, We should indeed have 
												blotted out their iniquities and 
												admitted them to gardens of 
												bliss.
 
 66. If only they had stood fast 
												by the Law, the Gospel, and all 
												the revelation that was sent to 
												them from their Lord, they would 
												have enjoyed happiness from 
												every side. There is from among 
												them a party on the right 
												course: but many of them follow 
												a course that is evil.
 
 67. O Messenger. proclaim the 
												(message) which hath been sent 
												to thee from thy Lord. If thou 
												didst not, thou wouldst not have 
												fulfilled and proclaimed His 
												mission. And Allah will defend 
												thee from men (who mean 
												mischief). For Allah guideth not 
												those who reject Faith.
 
 68. Say: "O People of the Book! 
												ye have no ground to stand upon 
												unless ye stand fast by the Law, 
												the Gospel, and all the 
												revelation that has come to you 
												from your Lord." It is the 
												revelation that cometh to thee 
												from thy Lord, that increaseth 
												in most of them their obstinate 
												rebellion and blasphemy. But 
												sorrow thou not over (these) 
												people without Faith.
 
 69. Those who believe (in the 
												Qur'an), those who follow the 
												Jewish (scriptures), and the 
												Sabians and the Christians,- any 
												who believe in Allah and the 
												Last Day, and work 
												righteousness,- on them shall be 
												no fear, nor shall they grieve.
 
 70. We took the covenant of the 
												Children of Israel and sent them 
												apostles, every time, there came 
												to them an apostle with what 
												they themselves desired not - 
												some (of these) they called 
												impostors, and some they (go so 
												far as to) slay.
 
 71. They thought there would be 
												no trial (or punishment); so 
												they became blind and deaf; yet 
												Allah (in mercy) turned to them; 
												yet again many of them became 
												blind and deaf. But Allah sees 
												well all that they do.
 
 72. They do blaspheme who say: 
												"(Allah) is Christ the son of 
												Mary." But said Christ: "O 
												Children of Israel! worship 
												Allah, my Lord and your Lord." 
												Whoever joins other gods with 
												Allah,- Allah will forbid him 
												the garden, and the Fire will be 
												his abode. There will for the 
												wrong-doers be no one to help.
 
 73. They do blaspheme who say: 
												Allah is one of three in a 
												Trinity: for there is no god 
												except One Allah. If they desist 
												not from their word (of 
												blasphemy), verily a grievous 
												penalty will befall the 
												blasphemers among them.
 
 74. Why turn they not to Allah, 
												and seek His forgiveness? For 
												Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most 
												Merciful.
 
 75. Christ the son of Mary was 
												no more than an apostle; many 
												were the apostles that passed 
												away before him. His mother was 
												a woman of truth. They had both 
												to eat their (daily) food. See 
												how Allah doth make His signs 
												clear to them; yet see in what 
												ways they are deluded away from 
												the truth!
 
 76. Say: "Will ye worship, 
												besides Allah, something which 
												hath no power either to harm or 
												benefit you? But Allah,- He it 
												is that heareth and knoweth all 
												things."
 
 77. Say: "O people of the Book! 
												exceed not in your religion the 
												bounds (of what is proper), 
												trespassing beyond the truth, 
												nor follow the vain desires of 
												people who went wrong in times 
												gone by,- who misled many, and 
												strayed (themselves) from the 
												even way.
 
 78. Curses were pronounced on 
												those among the Children of 
												Israel who rejected Faith, by 
												the tongue of David and of Jesus 
												the son of Mary: because they 
												disobeyed and persisted in 
												excesses.
 
 79. Nor did they (usually) 
												forbid one another the 
												iniquities which they committed: 
												evil indeed were the deeds which 
												they did.
 
 80. Thou seest many of them 
												turning in friendship to the 
												Unbelievers. Evil indeed are 
												(the works) which their souls 
												have sent forward before them 
												(with the result), that Allah.s 
												wrath is on them, and in torment 
												will they abide.
 
 81. If only they had believed in 
												Allah, in the Messenger, and in 
												what hath been revealed to him, 
												never would they have taken them 
												for friends and protectors, but 
												most of them are rebellious 
												wrong-doers.
 
 82. Strongest among men in 
												enmity to the believers wilt 
												thou find the Jews and Pagans; 
												and nearest among them in love 
												to the believers wilt thou find 
												those who say, "We are 
												Christians": because amongst 
												these are men devoted to 
												learning and men who have 
												renounced the world, and they 
												are not arrogant.
 
 83. And when they listen to the 
												revelation received by the 
												Messenger, thou wilt see their 
												eyes overflowing with tears, for 
												they recognise the truth: they 
												pray: "Our Lord! we believe; 
												write us down among the 
												witnesses.
 
 84. "What cause can we have not 
												to believe in Allah and the 
												truth which has come to us, 
												seeing that we long for our Lord 
												to admit us to the company of 
												the righteous?"
 
 85. And for this their prayer 
												hath Allah rewarded them with 
												gardens, with rivers flowing 
												underneath,- their eternal home. 
												Such is the recompense of those 
												who do good.
 
 86. But those who reject Faith 
												and belie our Signs,- they shall 
												be companions of Hell-fire.
 
 87. O ye who believe! make not 
												unlawful the good things which 
												Allah hath made lawful for you, 
												but commit no excess: for Allah 
												loveth not those given to 
												excess.
 
 88. Eat of the things which 
												Allah hath provided for you, 
												lawful and good; but fear Allah, 
												in Whom ye believe.
 
 89. Allah will not call you to 
												account for what is futile in 
												your oaths, but He will call you 
												to account for your deliberate 
												oaths: for expiation, feed ten 
												indigent persons, on a scale of 
												the average for the food of your 
												families; or clothe them; or 
												give a slave his freedom. If 
												that is beyond your means, fast 
												for three days. That is the 
												expiation for the oaths ye have 
												sworn. But keep to your oaths. 
												Thus doth Allah make clear to 
												you His signs, that ye may be 
												grateful.
 
 90. O ye who believe! 
												Intoxicants and gambling, 
												(dedication of) stones, and 
												(divination by) arrows, are an 
												abomination,- of Satan's 
												handwork: eschew such 
												(abomination), that ye may 
												prosper.
 
 91. Satan's plan is (but) to 
												excite enmity and hatred between 
												you, with intoxicants and 
												gambling, and hinder you from 
												the remembrance of Allah, and 
												from prayer: will ye not then 
												abstain?
 
 92. Obey Allah, and obey the 
												Messenger, and beware (of evil): 
												if ye do turn back, know ye that 
												it is Our Messenger.s duty to 
												proclaim (the message) in the 
												clearest manner.
 
 93. On those who believe and do 
												deeds of righteousness there is 
												no blame for what they ate (in 
												the past), when they guard 
												themselves from evil, and 
												believe, and do deeds of 
												righteousness,- (or) again, 
												guard themselves from evil and 
												believe,- (or) again, guard 
												themselves from evil and do 
												good. For Allah loveth those who 
												do good.
 
 94. O ye who believe! Allah doth 
												but make a trial of you in a 
												little matter of game well 
												within reach of your hands and 
												your lances, that He may test 
												who feareth him unseen: any who 
												transgress thereafter, will have 
												a grievous penalty.
 
 95. O ye who believe! Kill not 
												game while in the sacred 
												precincts or in pilgrim garb. If 
												any of you doth so 
												intentionally, the compensation 
												is an offering, brought to the 
												Ka'ba, of a domestic animal 
												equivalent to the one he killed, 
												as adjudged by two just men 
												among you; or by way of 
												atonement, the feeding of the 
												indigent; or its equivalent in 
												fasts: that he may taste of the 
												penalty of his deed. Allah 
												forgives what is past: for 
												repetition Allah will exact from 
												him the penalty. For Allah is 
												Exalted, and Lord of 
												Retribution.
 
 96. Lawful to you is the pursuit 
												of water-game and its use for 
												food,- for the benefit of 
												yourselves and those who travel; 
												but forbidden is the pursuit of 
												land-game;- as long as ye are in 
												the sacred precincts or in 
												pilgrim garb. And fear Allah, to 
												Whom ye shall be gathered back.
 
 97. Allah made the Ka'ba, the 
												Sacred House, an asylum of 
												security for men, as also the 
												Sacred Months, the animals for 
												offerings, and the garlands that 
												mark them: That ye may know that 
												Allah hath knowledge of what is 
												in the heavens and on earth and 
												that Allah is well acquainted 
												with all things.
 
 98. Know ye that Allah is strict 
												in punishment and that Allah is 
												Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
 
 99. The Messenger.s duty is but 
												to proclaim (the message). But 
												Allah knoweth all that ye reveal 
												and ye conceal.
 
 100. Say: "Not equal are things 
												that are bad and things that are 
												good, even though the abundance 
												of the bad may dazzle thee; so 
												fear Allah, O ye that 
												understand; that (so) ye may 
												prosper."
 
 101. O ye who believe! Ask not 
												questions about things which, if 
												made plain to you, may cause you 
												trouble. But if ye ask about 
												things when the Qur'an is being 
												revealed, they will be made 
												plain to you, Allah will forgive 
												those: for Allah is Oft- 
												forgiving, Most Forbearing.
 
 102. Some people before you did 
												ask such questions, and on that 
												account lost their faith.
 
 103. It was not Allah who 
												instituted (superstitions like 
												those of) a slit-ear she- camel, 
												or a she-camel let loose for 
												free pasture, or idol sacrifices 
												for twin-births in animals, or 
												stallion-camels freed from work: 
												It is blasphemers who invent a 
												lie against Allah. but most of 
												them lack wisdom.
 
 104. When it is said to them: 
												"Come to what Allah hath 
												revealed; come to the 
												Messenger.: They say: "Enough 
												for us are the ways we found our 
												fathers following." what! even 
												though their fathers were void 
												of knowledge and guidance?
 
 105. O ye who believe! Guard 
												your own souls: If ye follow 
												(right) guidance, no hurt can 
												come to you from those who 
												stray. the goal of you all is to 
												Allah. it is He that will show 
												you the truth of all that ye do.
 
 106. O ye who believe! When 
												death approaches any of you, 
												(take) witnesses among 
												yourselves when making 
												bequests,- two just men of your 
												own (brotherhood) or others from 
												outside if ye are journeying 
												through the earth, and the 
												chance of death befalls you 
												(thus). If ye doubt (their 
												truth), detain them both after 
												prayer, and let them both swear 
												by Allah. "We wish not in this 
												for any worldly gain, even 
												though the (beneficiary) be our 
												near relation: we shall hide not 
												the evidence before Allah. if we 
												do, then behold! the sin be upon 
												us!"
 
 107. But if it gets known that 
												these two were guilty of the sin 
												(of perjury), let two others 
												stand forth in their places,- 
												nearest in kin from among those 
												who claim a lawful right: let 
												them swear by Allah. "We affirm 
												that our witness is truer than 
												that of those two, and that we 
												have not trespassed (beyond the 
												truth): if we did, behold! the 
												wrong be upon us!"
 
 108. That is most suitable: that 
												they may give the evidence in 
												its true nature and shape, or 
												else they would fear that other 
												oaths would be taken after their 
												oaths. But fear Allah, and 
												listen (to His counsel): for 
												Allah guideth not a rebellious 
												people:
 
 109. One day will Allah gather 
												the apostles together, and ask: 
												"What was the response ye 
												received (from men to your 
												teaching)?" They will say: "We 
												have no knowledge: it is Thou 
												Who knowest in full all that is 
												hidden."
 
 110. Then will Allah say: "O 
												Jesus the son of Mary! Recount 
												My favour to thee and to thy 
												mother. Behold! I strengthened 
												thee with the holy spirit, so 
												that thou didst speak to the 
												people in childhood and in 
												maturity. Behold! I taught thee 
												the Book and Wisdom, the Law and 
												the Gospel and behold! thou 
												makest out of clay, as it were, 
												the figure of a bird, by My 
												leave, and thou breathest into 
												it and it becometh a bird by My 
												leave, and thou healest those 
												born blind, and the lepers, by 
												My leave. And behold! thou 
												bringest forth the dead by My 
												leave. And behold! I did 
												restrain the Children of Israel 
												from (violence to) thee when 
												thou didst show them the clear 
												Signs, and the unbelievers among 
												them said: 'This is nothing but 
												evident magic.'
 
 111. "And behold! I inspired the 
												disciples to have faith in Me 
												and Mine Messenger. they said, 
												'We have faith, and do thou bear 
												witness that we bow to Allah as 
												Muslims'".
 
 112. Behold! the disciples, 
												said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! 
												can thy Lord send down to us a 
												table set (with viands) from 
												heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear 
												Allah, if ye have faith."
 
 113. They said: "We only wish to 
												eat thereof and satisfy our 
												hearts, and to know that thou 
												hast indeed told us the truth; 
												and that we ourselves may be 
												witnesses to the miracle."
 
 114. Said Jesus the son of Mary: 
												"O Allah our Lord! Send us from 
												heaven a table set (with 
												viands), that there may be for 
												us - for the first and the last 
												of us - a solemn festival and a 
												sign from thee; and provide for 
												our sustenance, for thou art the 
												best Sustainer (of our needs)."
 
 115. Allah said: "I will send it 
												down unto you: But if any of you 
												after that resisteth faith, I 
												will punish him with a penalty 
												such as I have not inflicted on 
												any one among all the peoples."
 
 116. And behold! Allah will say: 
												"O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst 
												thou say unto men, worship me 
												and my mother as gods in 
												derogation of Allah.?" He will 
												say: "Glory to Thee! never could 
												I say what I had no right (to 
												say). Had I said such a thing, 
												thou wouldst indeed have known 
												it. Thou knowest what is in my 
												heart, Thou I know not what is 
												in Thine. For Thou knowest in 
												full all that is hidden.
 
 117. "Never said I to them aught 
												except what Thou didst command 
												me to say, to wit, 'worship 
												Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; 
												and I was a witness over them 
												whilst I dwelt amongst them; 
												when Thou didst take me up Thou 
												wast the Watcher over them, and 
												Thou art a witness to all 
												things.
 
 118. "If Thou dost punish them, 
												they are Thy servant: If Thou 
												dost forgive them, Thou art the 
												Exalted in power, the Wise."
 
 119. Allah will say: "This is a 
												day on which the truthful will 
												profit from their truth: theirs 
												are gardens, with rivers flowing 
												beneath,- their eternal Home: 
												Allah well-pleased with them, 
												and they with Allah. That is the 
												great salvation, (the fulfilment 
												of all desires).
 
 120. To Allah doth belong the 
												dominion of the heavens and the 
												earth, and all that is therein, 
												and it is He Who hath power over 
												all things.
