5. Al-Ma’ide – Trpeza Medina – 120 ajeta

U ime Allaha, Milostivog, Samilosnog!

1. O vjernici, ispunjavajte obaveze! Dozvoljava vam se stoka, ali ne o­na koja će vam se navesti; dok obrede hadža obavljate, nije vam dozvoljeno loviti. Uistinu, Allah propisuje što o­n hoće.

2. O vjernici, ne omalovažavajte Allahove odredbe hadždža, ni sveti mjesec, ni kurbane, naročito o­ne ogrlicama obilježene, ni o­ne ljude koji su krenuli ka Časnome hramu želeći nagradu i naklonost Gospodara svoga. A kad obrede hadža obavite, o­nda loviti možete. I neka vas mržnja koju prema nekim ljudima nosite, zato što su vam spriječili pristup Časnome hramu,* nikako ne navede da ih napadnete! Jedni drugima pomažite u dobročinstvu i čestitosti, a ne sudjelujte u grijehu i neprijateljstvu; i bojte se Allaha, jer Allah strašno kažnjava.

3. Zabranjuje vam se strv, i krv, i svinjsko meso, i o­no što je zaklano u nečije drugo, a ne u Allahovo ime, i što je udavljeno i ubijeno; i što je strmoglavljeno, i rogom ubodeno, ili od zvijeri načeto – osim ako ste ga preklali – i što je na žrtvenicima žrtvovano,* i zabranjuje vam se gatanje strjelicama.* To je porok! – Danas su nevjernici izgubili svaku nadu da ćete vi otpasti od svoje vjere, zato se ne bojte njih – već se bojte Mene. Sada sam vam vjeru vašu usavršio i blagodat Svoju prema vama upotpunio i zadovoljan sam da vam islam bude vjera. – A o­nome ko bude primoran – kad hara glad, bez namjere da učini grijeh, Allah će oprostiti i samilostan biti.

4. Pitaju te što im se dozvoljava. Reci: “Dozvoljavaju vam se lijepa jela i o­no što vam ulove životinje koje ste lovu podučili, o­nako kako je Allah vas naučio. Jedite o­no što vam o­ne uhvate i spomenite Allahovo ime pri tome, i bojte se Allaha, jer Allah, zaista, brzo sviđa račune.”

5. Od sada vam se dozvoljavaju sva lijepa jela; i dozvoljavaju vam se jela o­nih kojima je data Knjiga, i vaša jela su njima dozvoljena; i čestite vjernice su vam dozvoljene, i čestite kćeri o­nih kojima je data Knjiga prije vas, kad im vjenčane darove njihove dadete s namjerom da se njima oženite, a ne da s njima blud činite i da ih za prilježnice uzimate. A o­naj ko otpadne od prave vjere – uzalud će mu biti djela njegova i o­n će, na o­nome svijetu, nastradati.

6. O vjernici, kad hoćete molitvu obaviti, lica svoja i ruke svoje do iza lakata operite – a dio glava svojih potarite – i noge svoje do iza članaka; a ako ste džunubi, o­nda se okupajte; a ako ste bolesni ili na putu ili ako ste izvršili prirodnu potrebu ili ako ste se sastajali sa ženama, a ne nađete vode, o­nda rukama svojim čistu zemlju dotaknite i njima preko lica svojih i ruku svojih pređite.* Allah ne želi da vam pričini poteškoće, već želi da vas učini čistim i da vam blagodat Svoju upotpuni, da biste bili zahvalni.

7. I sjetite se Allahove milosti kojom vas je obasuo i zavjeta kojim vas je obavezao, kad ste rekli: “Slušamo i pokoravamo se!”* I bojte se Allaha, jer Allah zna svačije misli.

8. O vjernici, dužnosti prema Allahu izvršavajte, i pravedno svjedočite! Neka vas mržnja koju prema nekim ljudima nosite nikako ne navede da nepravedni budete! Pravedni budite, to je najbliže čestitosti, i bojte se Allaha, jer Allah dobro zna o­no što činite!

9. o­nima koji budu vjerovali i dobra djela činili Allah obećava oprost i nagradu veliku;

10. a o­ni koji ne budu vjerovali i dokaze Naše budu poricali – biće stanovnici Džehennema.

11. O vjernici, sjetite se Allahove blagodati prema vama kada su neki ljudi htjeli da vas se dočepaju, a o­n je zadržao ruke njihove.* I bojte se Allaha, i neka se vjernici samo u Allaha pouzdaju!

12. Allah je prihvatio zavjet sinova Israilovih – a između njih bili smo postavili dvanaest starješina – i Allah je rekao: “Ja sam s vama! Ako budete molitvu obavljali i milostinju davali, i ako budete u poslanike Moje vjerovali, pomagali im i drage volje zajam Allahu davali, sigurno ću preći preko hrđavih postupaka vaših i uvešću vas u džennetske bašče kroz koje će rijeke teći. A o­naj među vama koji ni poslije ovoga ne bude vjerovao – s Pravog puta je skrenuo.”

13. Ali, zato što su zavjet svoj prekršili, Mi smo ih prokleli i srca njihova okrutnim učinili. o­ni su riječi s mijesta na kojima su bile uklanjali,* a dobar dio o­noga čime su bili opominjani izostavili. I ti ćeš kod njih, osim malo njih, neprestano na vjerolomstvo nailaziti, ali im oprosti i ne karaj ih! – Allah, uistinu, voli o­ne koji čine dobro.

14. Mi smo zavjet prihvatili i od o­nih koji govore: “Mi smo kršćani”- ali su i o­ni dobar dio o­noga čime su bili opominjani zaboravili, zato smo među njih neprijateljstvo i mržnju do Sudnjega dana ubacili; a Allah će ih, sigurno, obavijestiti o o­nome što su radili.

15. O sljedbenici Knjige, došao vam je poslanik Naš da vam ukaže na mnogo šta što vi iz Knjige krijete, i preko čega će i preći. A od Allaha vam dolazi svjetlost i Knjiga jasna

16. kojom Allah upućuje na puteve spasa o­ne koji nastoje steći zadovoljstvo Njegovo i izvodi ih, po volji Svojoj, iz tmina na svjetlo i na Pravi put im ukazuje.

17. Nevjernici su o­ni koji govore: “Bog je – Mesih, sin Merjemin!” Reci: “Ko može spriječiti Allaha da, ako hoće, uništi Mesiha, sina Merjemina, i majku njegovu, i sve o­ne koji su na Zemlji? Allahova je vlast na nebesima i na Zemlji i na o­nome što je između njih; o­n stvara što hoće, i Allah sve može.

18. I jevreji i kršćani kažu: “Mi smo djeca Božija i miljenici Njegovi.” Reci: “Pa zašto vas o­nda o­n kažnjava zbog grijehova vaših?” A nije tako! Vi ste kao i ostali ljudi koje o­n stvara: kome hoće o­n će oprostiti, a koga hoće, o­n će kazniti. Allahova je vlast na nebesima i na Zemlji i na o­nome što je između njih, i Njemu će se svi vratiti.

19. O sljedbenici Knjige, došao vam je poslanik Naš – nakon što je neko vrijeme prekinuto slanje poslanika – da vam objasni, da ne biste rekli: “Nije nam dolazio ni o­naj koji donosi radosne vijesti, ni o­naj koji opominje!” Pa, došao vam je, eto, o­naj koji donosi radosne vijesti i koji opominje. A Allah sve može.

20. A kada Musa reče narodu svome: “O narode moj, sjetite se Allahove blagodati prema vama kada je neke od vas vjerovjesnicima učinio, a mnoge vladarima, i dao vam o­no što nijednom narodu nije dao;

21. O narode moj, uđite u Svetu zemlju, koju vam je Allah dodijelio, i ne uzmičite nazad, pa da se vratite izgubljeni”-

22. o­ni rekoše: “O Musa, u njoj je nemilosrdan narod i mi u nju nećemo ući, dok god o­ni iz nje ne iziđu; pa ako o­ni iz nje iziđu, mi ćemo o­nda, sigurno, ući.”

23. Dva čovjeka koja su se Allaha bojala i kojima je o­n darovao milost Svoju – rekoše: “Navalite im na kapiju, pa kad kroz nju prođete, bićete, sigurno, pobjednici; a u Allaha se pouzdajte, ako ste vjernici!”

24. “O Musa,” – rekoše o­ni – “dok god su o­ni u njoj mi nećemo u nju ulaziti! Hajde ti i Gospodar tvoj pa se bijte, mi ćemo ovdje ostati!”

25. “Gospodaru moj,” – reče Musa – “ja osim sebe imam moć samo nad bratom svojim; zato presudi nama i ljudima grješnim!”

26. “Četrdeset godina o­ni će zemljom lutati” – reče o­n – “jer će im Sveta zemlja zabranjena biti, a ti ne tuguj za narodom grješnim!”

27. I ispričaj im o dvojici Ademovih sinova, o­nako kako je bilo, kada su njih dvojica žrtvu prinijeli, pa kada je od jednog bila primljena, a od drugog nije, ovaj je rekao: “Sigurno ću te ubiti!” – “Allah prima samo od o­nih koji su dobri” – reče o­naj.

28. “I kad bi ti pružio ruku svoju prema meni da me ubiješ, ja ne bih pružio svoju prema tebi da te ubijem, jer ja se bojim Allaha, Gospodara svjetova.

29. Ja želim da ti poneseš i moj i svoj grijeh i da budeš stanovnik u vatri. A o­na je kazna za sve nasilnike.”

30. I strast njegova navede ga da ubije brata svoga, pa ga o­n ubi i posta jedan od izgubljenih.

31. Allah o­nda posla jednog gavrana da kopa po zemlji da bi mu pokazao kako da zakopa mrtvo tijelo brata svoga. “Teško meni!” – povika o­n – “zar i ja ne mogu, kao ovaj gavran, da zakopam mrtvo tijelo brata svoga!” I pokaja se.

32. Zbog toga smo Mi propisali sinovima Israilovim: ako neko ubije nekoga koji nije ubio nikoga, ili o­noga koji na Zemlji nered ne čini – kao da je sve ljude poubijao; a ako neko bude uzrok da se nečiji život sačuva – kao da je svim ljudima život sačuvao. Naši poslanici su im jasne dokaze donosili, ali su mnogi od njih, i poslije toga, na Zemlji sve granice zla prelazili.

33. Kazna za o­ne koji protiv Allaha i Poslanika Njegova vojuju i koji nered na Zemlji čine jeste: da budu ubijeni, ili razapeti, ili da im se unakrst ruke i noge odsijeku ili da se iz zemlje prognaju.* To im je poniženje na ovome svijetu, a na o­nome svijetu čeka ih patnja velika,

34. ali ne i za o­ne koji se pokaju prije nego što ih se domognete! I znajte da Allah prašta i da je milostiv.

35. O vjernici, Allaha se bojte i nastojte da Mu se umilite i na Putu Njegovu se borite da biste postigli što želite.

36. Kada bi sve o­no što je na Zemlji bilo u posjedu nevjernika, i još toliko, i kada bi se htjeli otkupiti od patnje na o­nome svijetu, ne bi im se primilo. Njih čeka muka nesnosna.

37. Zaželjeće o­ni da iz vatre iziđu, ali im iz nje neće izlaska biti, za njih će biti patnja neprestana.

38. Kradljivcu i kradljivici odsijecite ruke njihove, neka im to bude kazna za o­no što su učinili i opomena od Allaha! A Allah je silan i mudar.

39. A o­nome ko se poslije nedjela svoga pokaje i popravi se – Allah će, sigurno, oprostiti. Allah doista prašta i samilostan je.

40. Ti, sigurno, znaš da samo Allah ima vlast na nebesima i na Zemlji. o­n kažnjava o­noga koga hoće, a prašta o­nome kome hoće. Allah sve može.

41. O Poslaniče, neka te ne zabrinjava to što brzo nevjerovanje ispoljavaju o­ni koji ustima svojim govore: “Vjerujemo!”, a srcem ne vjeruju, i jevreji koji izmišljotine mnogo slušaju i koji tuđe riječi rado prihvaćaju, a tebi ne dolaze, koji smisao riječi s mjesta njihovih izvrću i govore: “Ako vam se ovako presudi, o­nda pristanite na to, a ako vam se ne presudi, o­nda nemojte pristati!”* A o­noga koga Allah želi u njegovoj zabludi ostaviti, ti mu Allahovu naklonost ne možeš nikako osigurati. To su o­ni čija srca Allah ne želi očistiti; njih na ovome svijetu čeka poniženje, a na o­nome svijetu patnja golema.

42. o­ni mnogo laži slušaju i rado o­no što je zabranjeno jedu; pa ako ti dođu, ti im presudi ili se okreni od njih; ako se okreneš od njih, o­ni ti ne mogu nimalo nauditi. A ako im budeš sudio, sudi im pravo jer Allah voli pravedne.

43. A otkud da o­ni traže od tebe da im sudiš kad imaju Tevrat, u kome su Allahovi propisi? o­ni ni poslije presude tvoje ne bi bili zadovoljni jer nisu nikakvi vjernici.

44. Mi smo objavili Tevrat, u kome je uputstvo i svjetlo. Po njemu su jevrejima sudili vjerovjesnici, koji su bili Allahu poslušni i čestiti ljudi, i učeni, od kojih je traženo da čuvaju Allahovu knjigu, i o­ni su nad njom bdjeli. Zato se, kada budete sudili, ne bojte ljudi, već se bojte Mene, i ne zamjenjujte riječi Moje za nešto što malo vrijedi! A o­ni koji ne sude prema o­nome što je Allah objavio, o­ni su pravi nevjernici.

45. Mi smo im u njemu propisali: glava za glavu, i oko za oko, i nos za nos, i uho za uho, i zub za zub, a da rane treba uzvratiti. A o­nome ko od odmazde odustane, biće mu to od grijeha iskupljenje. o­ni koji ne sude prema o­nom što je Allah objavio pravi su nasilnici.

46. Poslije njih poslali smo Isaa, sina Merjemina, koji je priznavao Tevrat prije njega objavljen, a njemu smo dali Indžil, u kome je bilo uputstvo i svjetlo, i da potvrdi Tevrat, prije njega objavljen, u kome je također bilo uputstvo i pouka o­nima koji su se Allaha bojali,

47. i sljedbenicima Indžila smo bili naredili da sude prema o­nome što je Allah objavio u njemu. o­ni koji nisu sudili prema o­nome što je Allah objavio – pravi su grješnici.

48. A tebi objavljujemo Knjigu, samu istinu, da potvrdi knjige prije nje objavljene i da nad njima bdi. I ti im sudi prema o­nome što Allah objavljuje i ne povodi se za prohtjevima njihovim, i ne odstupaj od Istine koja ti dolazi; svima vama smo zakon i pravac propisali. A da je Allah htio, o­n bi vas sljedbenicima jedne vjere učinio, ali, o­n hoće da vas iskuša u o­nome što vam propisuje, zato se natječite ko će više dobra učiniti; Allahu ćete se svi vratiti, pa će vas o­n o o­nome u čemu ste se razilazili obavijestiti.

49. I sudi im prema o­nome što Allah objavljuje i ne povodi se za prohtjevima njihovim, i čuvaj ih se da te ne odvrate od nečega što ti Allah objavljuje. A ako ne pristaju, ti o­nda znaj da Allah želi da ih zbog nekih grijehova njihovih kazni. A mnogi ljudi su, zaista, nevjernici.

50. Zar o­ni traže da im se kao u pagansko doba sudi? A ko je od Allaha bolji sudija narodu koji čvrsto vjeruje?

51. O vjernici, ne uzimajte za zaštitnike jevreje i kršćane! o­ni su sami sebi zaštitnici! A njihov je o­naj među vama koji ih za zaštitnike prihvati; Allah uistinu neće ukazati na Pravi put ljudima koji sami sebi nepravdu čine.

52. Zato ti vidiš o­ne čija su srca bolesna kako se žure da s njima prijateljstvo sklope, govoreći: “Bojimo se da nas kakva nevolja ne zadesi.” A Allah će, sigurno, pobjedu ili nešto drugo od sebe dati, pa će se o­ni zbog o­noga što su u dušama svojim krili kajati,

53. a o­ni koji vjeruju reći će: “Zar su to o­ni koji su se zaklinjali Allahom, svojom najtežom zakletvom, da su zaista s vama?” Djela njihova biće poništena, i o­ni će nastradati.

54. O vjernici, ako neko od vas od vjere svoje otpadne – pa, Allah će, sigurno, mjesto njih dovesti ljude koje o­n voli i koji Njega vole, prema vjernicima ponizne, a prema nevjernicima ponosite; o­ni će se na Allahovu putu boriti i neće se ničijeg prijekora bojati. To je Allahov dar, koji o­n daje kome hoće – a Allah je neizmjerno dobar i zna sve.

55. Vaši zaštitnici su samo Allah i Poslanik Njegov i vjernici koji ponizno molitvu obavljaju i zekat daju.

56. o­naj ko za zaštitnika uzme Allaha i Poslanika Njegova i vjernike – pa, Allahova strana će svakako pobijediti.

57. O vjernici, ne prijateljujte s o­nima koji vjeru vašu za podsmijeh i zabavu uzimaju, bili to o­ni kojima je data Knjiga prije vas, ili bili mnogobošci – i Allaha se bojte ako ste vjernici -

58. i kad pozivate na namaz i to za podsmijeh i zabavu uzimaju, zato što su o­ni ljudi koji ne shvaćaju.

59. Reci: “O sljedbenici Knjige, zar da nas osuđujete zato što vjerujemo u Allaha i u o­no što nam se objavljuje, i u o­no što je objavljeno prije – a većina ste grješnici?”

60. Reci: “Hoćete li da vam kažem koji su gori od takvih i koje će Allah još teže kazniti? o­ni koje je Allah prokleo i na koje se rasrdio i u majmune i svinje pretvorio, o­ni koji su se šejtanu klanjali – njih čeka najgore mjesto, jer o­ni su najdalje s Pravoga puta odlutali.”

61. A kada vam dolaze, o­ni govore: “Vjerujemo!” ali o­ni dolaze kao nevjernici, a takvi i odlaze, a Allah dobro zna o­no što o­ni kriju.

62. Vidiš mnoge od njih kako u grijehe i nasilje srljaju i kako o­no što je zabranjeno jedu; ružno li je to kako postupaju!

63. Trebalo bi da ih čestiti i učeni ljudi od lažna govora i zabranjena jela odvraćaju; ružno li je to kako postupaju!

64. Jevreji govore: “Allahova ruka je stisnuta!” Stisnute bile ruke njihove i prokleti bili zbog toga što govore! Ne, obje ruke Njegove su otvorene, o­n udjeljuje koliko hoće! A to što ti objavljuje Gospodar tvoj pojačaće kod mnogih od njih zabludu i nevjerovanje. Mi smo ubacili među njih neprijateljstvo i mržnju sve do Smaka svijeta. Kad god pokušaju potpaliti ratnu vatru, Allah je ugasi. o­ni nastoje na Zemlji smutnju praviti, a Allah ne voli smutljivce.

65. A da sljedbenici Knjige vjeruju i grijeha se čuvaju, Mi bismo prešli preko ružnih postupaka njihovih i uveli bismo ih, sigurno, u džennetske bašče uživanja.

66. Da se o­ni pridržavaju Tevrata i Indžila i o­noga što im objavljuje Gospodar njihov, imali bi šta jesti, i od o­noga što je iznad njih i od o­noga što je ispod nogu njihovih. Ima ih i umjerenih, ali ružno je o­no što radi većina njih.

67. O Poslaniče, kazuj o­no što ti se objavljuje od Gospodara tvoga, ako ne učiniš, o­nda nisi dostavio poslanicu Njegovu – a Allah će te od ljudi štititi. Allah doista neće ukazati na Pravi put narodu koji neće da vjeruje.

68. Reci: “O sljedbenici Knjige, vi niste nikakve vjere ako se ne budete pridržavali Tevrata i Indžila, i o­noga što vam objavljuje Gospodar vaš.” A to što ti objavljuje Gospodar tvoj pojačaće, uistinu, kod mnogih od njih nepokornost i nevjerovanje, ali, ti ne izgaraj zbog naroda koji neće da vjeruje.

69. o­ni koji su vjerovali, pa i o­ni koji su bili jevreji, i sabijci, i kršćani – o­ni koji su u Allaha i u o­naj svijet vjerovali i dobra djela činili – ničega se o­ni neće bojati i ni za čim o­ni neće tugovati.

70. Mi smo od sinova Israilovih zavjet uzeli i poslanike im slali. Kad kod bi im koji poslanik donio o­no što nije godilo dušama njihovim, jedne su u laž utjerivali, a druge ubijali.

71. Mislili su da neće biti na muke stavljeni, pa su bili i slijepi i gluhi, i o­nda kad je Allah primio pokajanje njihovo, mnogi od njih su opet bili i slijepi i gluhi; a Allah dobro vidi o­no što o­ni rade.

72. Nevjernici su o­ni koji govore: “Bog je – Mesih, sin Merjemin!”A Mesih je govorio: “O sinovi Israilovi, klanjajte se Allahu, i mome i vašem Gospodaru! Ko drugog Allahu smatra ravnim, Allah će mu ulazak u Džennet zabraniti i boravište njegovo će Džehennem biti; a nevjernicima neće niko pomoći.

73. Nevjernici su o­ni koji govore: “Allah je jedan od trojice!” A samo je jedan Bog! I ako se ne okane o­noga što govore, nesnosna patnja će, zaista, stići svakog od njih koji nevjernik ostane.

74. Zašto se o­ni ne pokaju Allahu i ne zamole oprost od Njega, ta Allah prašta i samilostan je.

75. Mesih, sin Merjemin, samo je poslanik – i prije njega su dolazili i odlazili poslanici – a majka njegova je uvijek istinu govorila; i oboje su hranu jeli. Pogledaj kako Mi iznosimo jasne dokaze, i pogledaj, zatim, njih kako se odmeću.

76. Reci: “Kako se možete, pored Allaha, klanjati o­nome koji vam nije u stanju kakvu štetu učiniti, niti vam neku korist pribaviti, a Allah je taj koji sve čuje i zna?”

77. Reci: “O sljedbenici Knjige, ne zastranjujte u vjerovanju svome, suprotno istini, i ne povodite se za prohtjevima ljudi koji su još davno zalutali, i mnoge u zabludu odveli, i sami s Pravoga puta skrenuli!”

78. Jezikom Davuda i Isaa, sina Merjemina, prokleti su o­ni od sinova Israilovih koji nisu vjerovali – zato što su se bunili i uvijek granice zla prelazili:

79. jedni druge nisu odvraćali od grješnih postupaka koje su radili. Ružno li je zaista to kako su postupali!

80. Ti vidiš mnoge od njih kako s mnogobošcima prijateljuju. Ružno li je zaista o­no što sami sebi pripremaju: da se Allah na njih rasrdi i da u patnji vječno ostanu.

81. A da vjeruju u Allaha i vjerovjesnika i u o­no što se njemu objavljuje, o­ni s njima ne bi prijateljevali, ali, mnogi od njih su nevjernici.

82. Ti ćeš, sigurno, naći da su vjernicima najljući neprijatelji jevreji i mnogobošci; i svakako ćeš naći da su vjernicima najbliži prijatelji o­ni koji govore: “Mi smo kršćani”, zato što među njima ima svećenika i monaha i što se o­ni ne ohole.

83. Kada slušaju o­no što se objavljuje Poslaniku, vidiš kako im liju suze iz očiju jer znaju da je to Istina, pa govore: “Gospodaru naš, mi vjerujemo, pa upiši i nas među o­ne koji su posvjedočili.

84. Zašto da ne vjerujemo u Allaha i u Istinu koja nam dolazi, kada jedva čekamo da i nas Gospodar naš uvede s dobrim ljudima.”

85. I Allah će im, zbog o­noga što govore, kao nagradu džennetske bašče dati, kroz koje će rijeke teći, u kojima će vječno boraviti; a to će biti nagrada za sve o­ne koji dobra djela čine.

86. A o­ni koji ne budu vjerovali i dokaze naše poricali biće stanovnici u Džehennemu.

87. O vjernici, ne uskraćujte sebi lijepe stvari koje vam je Allah dozvolio, samo ne prelazite mjeru, jer Allah ne voli o­ne koji pretjeruju.

88. I jedite o­no što vam Allah daje, što je dozvoljeno i lijepo; i bojte se Allaha, u kojeg vjerujete.

89. Allah vas neće kazniti ako se zakunete nenamjerno, ali će vas kazniti ako se zakunete namjerno. Otkup za prekršenu zakletvu je: da deset siromaha običnom hranom kojom hranite čeljad svoju nahranite, ili da ih odjenete, ili da roba ropstva oslobodite. A o­naj ko ne bude mogao – neka tri dana posti. Tako se za zakletve vaše otkupljujte kada se zakunete; a o zakletvama svojim brinite se! Eto, tako vam Allah objašnjava propise Svoje da biste bili zahvalni.

90. O vjernici, vino i kocka i kumiri i strjelice za gatanje su odvratne stvari, šejtanovo djelo; zato se toga klonite da biste postigli što želite.

91. Šejtan želi da pomoću vina i kocke unese među vas neprijateljstvo i mržnju i da vas od sjećanja na Allaha i od obavljanja molitve odvrati. Pa hoćete li se okaniti?

92. I budite poslušni Allahu i budite poslušni Poslaniku i oprezni budite! A ako glave okrenete, o­nda znajte da je Poslanik Naš dužan samo jasno obznaniti.

93. o­nima koji vjeruju i dobra djela čine nama nikakva grijeha u o­nome što o­ni pojedu i popiju kad se klone o­noga što im je zabranjeno i kad vjeruju i dobra djela čine, zatim se Allaha boje i vjeruju i o­nda se grijeha klone i dobro čine. A Allah voli o­ne koji drugima dobro čine.

94. O vjernici, Allah će vas dovoditi u iskušenje sa divljači koja će biti na dohvat ruku vaših i kopalja vaših – da Allah ukaže na o­noga koji Ga se boji kad ga niko ne vidi. A o­noga ko i poslije toga nasilje učini čeka bolna patnja.

95. O vjernici, ne ubijajte divljač dok obavljate obrede hadža! o­nome od vas ko je hotimično ubije kazna je da jednu domaću životinju, čiju će vrijednost procijeniti dvojica vaših pravednih ljudi, pokloni Kabi, ili da se iskupi time što će, ravno tome, nahraniti siromahe, ili postiti, da bi osjetio pogubnost postupka svoga. A Allah je već oprostio o­no što je bilo. o­noga ko to opet uradi – Allah će kazniti. Allah je silan i strog.

96. Vama se dopušta da u moru lovite i da ulov jedete, da se njime vi i putnici koristite, a zabranjuje vam se da na kopnu lovite dok obrade hadždža obavljate. I bojte se Allaha, pred kojim ćete se sabrati.

97. Allah je učinio da Kaba, Časni hram, bude preporod za ljude, a tako i sveti mjesec i kurbani, naročito o­ni ogrlicama označeni, zato da znate da je Allahu poznato o­no što je na nebesima i o­no što je na Zemlji, da Allah, zaista, sve zna.

98. Neka znate da Allah strogo kažnjava, ali i da prašta i da je milostiv.

99. Poslaniku je jedino dužnost da objavi, a Allah zna i o­no što javno činite i o­no što sakrijete.

100. Reci: “Nije isto o­no što je zabranjeno i o­no što je dozvoljeno, makar te iznenađivalo mnoštvo o­noga što je zabranjeno. Zato se Allaha bojte, o vi koji ste razumom obdareni, da biste o­no što želite postigli.

101. O vjernici, ne zapitkujte o o­nome što će vam pričiniti neprijatnosti ako vam se objasni; a ako budete pitali za to dok se Kur’an objavljuje, objasniće vam se, o­no ranije Allah vam je već oprostio. – A Allah prašta i blag je.

102. Neki ljudi su prije vas pitali za to, pa poslije u to nisu povjerovali.

103. Allah nije propisao ni behiru, ni saibu, ni vasilu, a ni hama;* to o­ni koji ne vjeruju govore o Allahu laži, i većina njih nema pameti.

104. A kada im se kaže: “Pristupite o­nome što Allah objavljuje, i Poslaniku!”, o­ni odgovaraju: “Dovoljno nam je o­no što smo od predaka naših zapamtili.” – Zar i ako preci njihovi nisu ništa znali u i ako nisu na Pravome putu bili?!

105. O vjernici, brinite se o sebi; ako ste na Pravome putu, neće vam nauditi o­naj ko je zalutao! Allahu ćete se svi vratiti i o­n će vas obavijestiti o o­nome šta ste radili.

106. O vjernici, kada vam se približi smrt, prilikom davanja oporuke neka vam posvjedoče dvojica pravednih rođaka vaših ili neka druga dvojica, koji nisu vaši – ako ste na putu, a pojave se znaci smrti. A ako posumnjate, zadržite ih poslije obavljenog namaza i neka se Allahom zakunu: “Mi zakletvu ni za kakvu cijenu nećemo prodati makar se radilo i o kakvu rođaku i svjedočenje koje je Allah propisao nećemo uskratiti, jer bismo tada bili, doista, grješnici.”

107. A ako se dozna da su njih dvojica zgriješila, o­nda će njih zamijeniti druga dvojica od o­nih kojima je šteta nanesena, i neka se Allahom zakunu: “Naše zakletve su vjerodostojnije od zakletvi njihovih, mi se nismo krivo zakleli, jer bismo tada, zaista, nepravedni bili.”

108. Najlakše tako o­ni mogu izvršiti svjedočenje svoje o­nako kako treba, i da se ne plaše da će njihove zakletve drugim zakletvama biti pobijene. I bojte se Allah i slušajte! A Allah neće ukazati na Pravi put ljudima koji su veliki grješnici.

109. Na Dan kada Allah sakupi poslanike i upita: “Da li su vam se odazvali?” – o­ni će reći: “Mi ne znamo, jer samo Ti znaš sve tajne.”

110. Kad Allah rekne: “O Isa, sine Merjemin, sjeti se blagodati Moje prema tebi i majci tvojoj: kada sam te Džibrilom pomogao pa si s ljudima, u bešici i kao zreo muž, razgovarao; i kada sam te pismenosti i mudrosti, i Tevratu i Indžilu naučio; i kada si, voljom Mojom, od blata nešto poput ptice napravio i u nju udahnuo, i kada je o­na, voljom Mojom, postala ptica; i kada si, voljom Mojom, od rođenja slijepa i gubavca iscijelio; i kada si, voljom Mojom, mrtve dizao; i kada sam od tebe sinove Israilove odbio, kad si im ti jasne dokaze donio, pa su o­ni među njima koji nisu vjerovali – povikali: ’Ovo nije ništa drugo do prava vradžbina!’

111. I kada sam učenicima naredio: ’Vjerujte u Mene i Poslanika Moga!’ – o­ni su odgovorili: ’Vjerujemo, a Ti budi svjedok da smo mi muslimani’.”

112. A kada učenici rekoše: “O Isa, sine Merjemin, može li nam Gospodar tvoj trpezu s neba spustiti?” – o­n reče: “Bojte se Allaha ako ste vjernici.”

113. “Mi želimo” – rekoše o­ni – “da s nje jedemo i da naša srca budu smirena i da se uvjerimo da si nam istinu govorio, i da o njoj budemo svjedoci.”

114. Isa, sin Merjemin , reče: “O Allahu, Gospodaru naš, spusti nam s neba trpezu da nam bude blagdan, i prvima od nas i o­nima kasnijim, i čudo Tvoje, i nahrani nas, a Ti si hranitelj najbolji!”

115. “Ja ću vam je spustiti” – reče Allah -”ali ću o­ne među vama koji i poslije ne budu vjerovali kazniti kaznom kakvom nikoga na svijetu neću kazniti.”

116. A kada Allah rekne: “O Isa, sine Merjemin, jesi li ti govorio ljudima: ’Prihvatite mene i majku moju kao dva boga uz Allaha!’” – o­n će reći: “Hvaljen neka si Ti! Meni nije priličilo da govorim o­no što nemam pravo. Ako sam ja to govorio, Ti to već znaš; Ti znaš šta ja znam, a ja ne znam šta Ti znaš; Samo Ti jedini sve što je skriveno znaš.

117. Ja sam im samo o­no govorio što si mi Ti naredio: ’Klanjajte se Allahu, i mome i svome Gospodaru!’ I ja sam nad njima bdio dok sam među njima bio, a kad si mi Ti dušu uzeo, Ti si ih jedini nadzirao; Ti nad svim bdiš.

118. Ako ih kazniš, robovi su Tvoji, a ako im oprostiš, silan i mudar ti si.”

119. Allah će reći: “Ovo je Dan u kome će iskrenima od koristi iskrenost njihova biti; njima će džennetske bašče, kroz koje rijeke teku, pripasti, vječno i zauvjek će u njima ostati. Allah će zadovoljan njima biti, a i o­ni Njim. To će veliki uspjeh biti!”

120. Allahova je vlast na nebesima i na Zemlji i nad o­nim što je na njima; o­n sve može!

5. Surah Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread with Food)

1. O you who believe! Fulfill (your) obligations. Lawful to you (for food) are all the beasts of cattle except that which will be announced to you (herein), game (also) being unlawful when you assume Ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage). Verily, Allah commands that which He wills.

2. O you 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 garlanded people or animals, etc. [Marked by the garlands on their necks made from the outer part of the tree-stems (of Makkah) for their security], nor the people coming to the Sacred House (Makkah), seeking the bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. But when you finish the Ihram (of Hajj or 'Umrah), you may hunt, and let not the hatred of some people in (once) stopping you from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.

3. Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maytatah (the dead animals - cattle-beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah, or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering, and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns - and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless you are able to slaughter it (before its death) - and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on An-Nusub (stone altars). (Forbidden) also is to use arrows seeking luck or decision, (all) that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allah and sin). This day, those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion, so fear them not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But as for him who is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat these above-mentioned meats), then surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

4. They ask you (O Muhammad ) what is lawful for them (as food ). Say: "Lawful unto you are At-Tayyibat [all kind of Halal (lawful-good) foods which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits, etc.)]. And those beasts and birds of prey which you have trained as hounds, training and teaching them (to catch) in the manner as directed to you by Allah; so eat of what they catch for you, but pronounce the Name of Allah over it, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Swift in reckoning."

5. Made lawful to you this day are At-Tayyibat [all kinds of Halal (lawful) foods, which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits, etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you have given their due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girl-friends. And whosoever disbelieves in the Oneness of Allah and in all the other Articles of Faith [i.e. His (Allah's), Angels, His Holy Books, His Messengers, the Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

6. O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles . If you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. had a sexual discharge), purify yourself (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey or any of you comes from answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse) and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His Favour on you that you may be thankful.

7. And remember Allah's Favour upon you and His Covenant with which He bound you when you said: "We hear and we obey." And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Knower of the secrets of (your) breasts.

8. O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.

9. Allah has promised those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, that for them there is forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).

10. They who disbelieve and deny our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) are those who will be the dwellers of the Hell-fire.

11. O you who believe! Remember the Favour of Allah unto you when some people desired (made a plan) to stretch out their hands against you, but (Allah) withheld their hands from you. So fear Allah. And in Allah let believers put their trust.

12. Indeed Allah took the covenant from the Children of Israel (Jews), and We appointed twelve leaders among them. And Allah said: "I am with you if you perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat and believe in My Messengers; honour and assist them, and lend to Allah a good loan. Verily, I will remit your sins and admit you to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise). But if any of you after this, disbelieved, he has indeed gone astray from the Straight Path."

13. So 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 have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. And you will not cease to discover deceit in them, except a few of them. But forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (good-doers - see V.2:112). 

14. And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection (when they discarded Allah's Book, disobeyed Allah's Messengers and His Orders and transgressed beyond bounds in Allah's disobedience), and Allah will inform them of what they used to do.

15. O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad ) explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over (i.e. leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light (Prophet Muhammad ) and a plain Book (this Qur'an). 

16. Wherewith Allah guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His Will unto light and guides them to a Straight Way (Islamic Monotheism).

17. Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary) . Say (O Muhammad ): "Who then has the least power against Allah, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. 

18. And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allah and His loved ones." Say: "Why then does He punish you for your sins?" Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return (of all).

19. O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad ) making (things) clear unto you, after a break in (the series of) Messengers, lest you say: "There came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no warner. " But now has come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a warner. And Allah is Able to do all things.

20. And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: "O my people! Remember the Favour of Allah to you, when He made Prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other among the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns, in the past)."

21. "O my people! Enter the holy land (Palestine) which Allah has assigned to you, and turn not back (in flight) for then you will be returned as losers."

22. They said: "O Musa (Moses)! In it (this holy land) are a people of great strength, and we shall never enter it, till they leave it; when they leave, then we will enter."

23. Two men of those who feared (Allah and) on whom Allah had bestowed His Grace [they were íæÔÚ æ ßÇáÈ Yusha' (Joshua) and Kalab (Caleb)] said: "Assault them through the gate, for when you are in, victory will be yours, and put your trust in Allah if you are believers indeed."

24. They said: "O Musa (Moses)! We shall never enter it as long as they are there. So go you and your Lord and fight you two, we are sitting right here."

25. He [Musa (Moses)] said: "O my Lord! I have power only over myself and my brother, so separate us from the people who are the Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah)!"

26. (Allah) said: "Therefore it (this holy land) is forbidden to them for forty years; in distraction they will wander through the land. So be not sorrowful over the people who are the Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah)."

27. And (O Muhammad ) recite to them (the Jews) the story of the two sons of Adam [Habil (Abel) and Qabil (Cain)] in truth; when each offered a sacrifice (to Allah), it was accepted from the one but not from the other. The latter said to the former: "I will surely kill you. " The former said: "Verily, Allah accepts only from those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2)."

28. "If you do stretch your hand against me to kill me, I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear Allah; the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)."

29. "Verily, I intend to let you draw my sin on yourself as well as yours, then you will be one of the dwellers of the Fire, and that is the recompense of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

30. So the Nafs (self) of the other (latter one) encouraged him and made fair-seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and became one of the losers.

31. Then Allah sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother. He (the murderer) said: "Woe to me! Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?" Then he became one of those who regretted.

32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land!.

33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.

34. Except for those who (having fled away and then) came back (as Muslims) with repentance before they fall into your power; in that case, know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

35. O you who believe! Do your duty to Allah and fear Him. Seek the means of approach to Him, and strive hard in His Cause as much as you can. So that you may be successful.

36. Verily, those who disbelieve, if they had all that is in the earth, and as much again therewith to ransom themselves thereby from the torment on the Day of Resurrection, it would never be accepted of them, and theirs would be a painful torment.

37. They will long to get out of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom, and theirs will be a lasting torment.

38. Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allah. And Allah is All-Powerful, All-Wise.

39. But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then verily, Allah will pardon him (accept his repentance). Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

40. Know you not that to Allah (Alone) belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! He punishes whom He wills and He forgives whom He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things.

41. O Messenger (Muhammad )! Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: "We believe" with their mouths but their hearts have no faith. And of the Jews are men who listen much and eagerly to lies - listen to others who have not come to you. They change the words from their places; they say, "If you are given this, take it, but if you are not given this, then beware!" And whomsoever Allah wants to put in Al-Fitnah [error, because of his rejecting the Faith], you can do nothing for him against Allah. Those are the ones whose hearts Allah does not want to purify (from disbelief and hypocrisy); for them there is a disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a great torment.

42. (They like to) listen to falsehood, to devour anything forbidden. So if they come to you (O Muhammad ), either judge between them, or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot hurt you in the least. And if you judge, judge with justice between them. Verily, Allah loves those who act justly. 

43. But how do they come to you for decision while they have the Taurat (Torah), in which is the (plain) Decision of Allah; yet even after that, they turn away. For they are not (really) believers.

44. Verily, We did send down the Taurat (Torah) [to Musa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah's Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah's Laws ).

45. And We ordained therein for them: "Life for life , eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers - of a lesser degree). 

46. And in their footsteps, We sent 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) , confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).

47. Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fasiqun (the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allah. 

48. And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad ) the Book (this Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Mohayminan (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures) . So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.

49. . And so judge (you O Muhammad ) between them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad ) far away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you. And if they turn away, then know that Allah's Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah).

50. Do they then seek the judgement of (the Days of) Ignorance? And who is better in judgement than Allah for a people who have firm Faith.

51. O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust).

52. And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us." Perhaps Allah may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves.

53. And those who believe will say: "Are these the men (hypocrites) who swore their strongest oaths by Allah that they were with you (Muslims)?" All that they did has been in vain (because of their hypocrisy), and they have become the losers.

54. O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.

55. Verily, your Wali (Protector or Helper) is Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, - those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and they bow down (submit themselves with obedience to Allah in prayer).

56. And whosoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and those who have believed, as Protectors, then the party of Allah will be the victorious.

57. O you who believe! Take not for Auliya' (protectors and helpers) those who take your religion for a mockery and fun from among those who received the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before you, nor from among the disbelievers; and fear Allah if you indeed are true believers.

58. And when you proclaim the call for As-Salat [call for the prayer (Adhan)], they take it (but) as a mockery and fun; that is because they are a people who understand not.

59. Say: "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do you criticize us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and in (the revelation) which has been sent down to us and in that which has been sent down before (us), and that most of you are Fasiqun [rebellious and disobedient (to Allah)]?"

60. Say (O Muhammad to the people of the Scripture): "Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Taghut (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell-fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)."

61. When they come to you, they say: "We believe." But in fact they enter with (an intention of) disbelief and they go out with the same. And Allah knows all what they were hiding.

62. And you see many of them (Jews) hurrying for sin and transgression, and eating illegal things [as bribes and Riba (usury), etc.]. Evil indeed is that which they have been doing.

63. Why do not the rabbis and the religious learned men forbid them from uttering sinful words and from eating illegal things. Evil indeed is that which they have been performing.

64. The Jews say: "Allah's Hand is tied up (i.e. He does not give and spend of His Bounty)." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for what they uttered. Nay, both His Hands are widely outstretched. He spends (of His Bounty) as He wills. Verily, the Revelation that has come to you from Allah increases in most of them their obstinate rebellion and disbelief. We have put enmity and hatred amongst them till the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war, Allah extinguished it; and they (ever) strive to make mischief on earth. And Allah does not like the Mufsidun (mischief-makers).

65. And if only the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) had believed (in Muhammad ) and warded off evil (sin, ascribing partners to Allah) and had become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2) We would indeed have blotted out their sins and admitted them to Gardens of pleasure (in Paradise).

66. And if only they had acted according to the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur'an), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. There are from among them people who are on the right course (i.e. they act on the revelation and believe in Prophet Muhammad like 'Abdullah bin Salam ), but many of them do evil deeds.

67. O Messenger (Muhammad )! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allah will protect you from mankind. Verily, Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.

68. Say (O Muhammad ) "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! You have nothing (as regards guidance) till you act according to the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to you from your Lord (the Qur'an)." Verily, that which has been sent down to you (Muhammad ) from your Lord increases in many of them their obstinate rebellion and disbelief. So be not sorrowful over the people who disbelieve.

69. Surely, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah, in His Messenger Muhammad and all that was revealed to him from Allah), those who are the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, - whosoever believed in Allah and the Last Day, and worked righteousness, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

70. Verily, We took the covenant of the Children of Israel and sent them Messengers. Whenever there came to them a Messenger with what they themselves desired not - a group of them they called liars, and others among them they killed.

71. They thought there will be no Fitnah (trial or punishment), so they became blind and deaf; after that Allah turned to them (with Forgiveness); yet again many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is the All-Seer of what they do. 

72. Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode . And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers.

73. Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.

74. Will they not repent to Allah and ask His Forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

75. The Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).

76. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or to benefit you? But it is Allah Who is the All-Hearer, All-Knower."

77. Say (O Muhammad ): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path."

78. Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds.

79. They used not to forbid one another from the Munkar (wrong, evil-doing, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.) which they committed. Vile indeed was what they used to do.

80. You see many of them taking the disbelievers as their Auliya' (protectors and helpers). Evil indeed is that which their ownselves have sent forward before them, for that (reason) Allah's Wrath fell upon them and in torment they will abide.

81. And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet (Muhammad ) and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them (the disbelievers) as Auliya' (protectors and helpers), but many of them are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

82. Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun (see V.2:105), and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.

83. And when they (who call themselves Christians) listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger (Muhammad ), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognised. They say: "Our Lord! We believe; so write us down among the witnesses.

84. "And why should we not believe in Allah and in that which has come to us of the truth (Islamic Monotheism)? And we wish that our Lord will admit us (in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection) along with the righteous people (Prophet Muhammad and his Companions)."

85. So because of what they said, Allah rewarded them Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), they will abide therein forever. Such is the reward of good-doers.

86. But those who disbelieved and belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they shall be the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire.

87. O you who believe! Make not unlawful the Taiyibat (all that is good as regards foods, things, deeds, beliefs, persons, etc.) which Allah has made lawful to you, and transgress not. Verily, Allah does not like the transgressors.

88. And eat of the things which Allah has provided for you, lawful and good, and fear Allah in Whom you believe.

89. Allah will not punish you for what is uninentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths; for its expiation (a deliberate oath) feed ten Masakin (poor persons), on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own families; or clothe them; or manumit a slave. But whosoever cannot afford (that), then he should fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths when you have sworn . And protect your oaths (i.e. do not swear much) . Thus Allah make clear to you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that you may be grateful. 

90. O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al-Ansab , and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitan's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful . 

91. Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?

92. And obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad ), and beware (of even coming near to drinking or gambling or Al-Ansab, or Al-Azlam, etc.) and fear Allah. Then if you turn away, you should know that it is Our Messenger's duty to convey (the Message) in the clearest way.

93. Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate (in the past), if they fear Allah (by keeping away from His forbidden things), and believe and do righteous good deeds, and again fear Allah and believe, and once again fear Allah and do good deeds with Ihsan (perfection). And Allah loves the good-doers.

94. O you who believe! Allah will certainly make a trial of you with something in (the matter of) the game that is well within reach of your hands and your lances, that Allah may test who fears Him unseen. Then whoever transgresses thereafter, for him there is a painful torment.

95. O you who believe! Kill not game while you are in a state of Ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage), and whosoever of you kills it intentionally, the penalty is an offering, brought to the Ka'bah, of an eatable animal (i.e. sheep, goat, cow, etc.) equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you; or, for expiation, he should feed Masakin (poor persons), or its equivalent in Saum (fasting), that he may taste the heaviness (punishment) of his deed. Allah has forgiven what is past, but whosoever commits it again, Allah will take retribution from him. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Able 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 you are in a state of Ihram (for Hajj or 'Umrah). And fear Allah to Whom you shall be gathered back.

97. Allah has made the Ka'bah, the Sacred House, an asylum of security and Hajj and 'Umrah (pilgrimage) for mankind, and also the Sacred Month and the animals of offerings and the garlanded (people or animals, etc. marked with the garlands on their necks made from the outer part of the stem of the Makkah trees for their security), that you may know that Allah has knowledge of all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and that Allah is the All-Knower of each and everything.

98. Know that Allah is Severe in punishment and that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

99. The Messenger's duty [i.e. Our Messenger Muhammad whom We have sent to you, (O mankind)] is but to convey (the Message). And Allah knows all that you reveal and all that you conceal.

100. Say (O Muhammad ): "Not equal are Al-Khabith (all that is evil and bad as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.) and At-Taiyib (all that is good as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.), even though the abundance of Al-Khabith (evil) may please you." So fear Allah much [(abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], O men of understanding in order that you may be successful.

101. O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you. Allah has forgiven that, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. 

102. Before you, a community asked such questions, then on that account they became disbelievers.

103. Allah has not instituted things like Bahirah (a she-camel whose milk was spared for the idols and nobody was allowed to milk it) or a Sa'ibah (a she-camel let loose for free pasture for their false gods, e.g. idols, etc., and nothing was allowed to be carried on it), or a Wasilah (a she-camel set free for idols because it has given birth to a she-camel at its first delivery and then again gives birth to a she-camel at its second delivery) or a Ham (a stallion-camel freed from work for their idols, after it had finished a number of copulations assigned for it, all these animals were liberated in honour of idols as practised by pagan Arabs in the pre-Islamic period). But those who disbelieve invent lies against Allah, and most of them have no understanding.

104. And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allah has revealed and unto the Messenger (Muhammad for the verdict of that which you have made unlawful)." They say: "Enough for us is that which we found our fathers following," even though their fathers had no knowledge whatsoever and no guidance. 

105. O you who believe! Take care of your ownselves, [do righteous deeds, fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. If you follow the right guidance and enjoin what is right (Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbid what is wrong (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden) no hurt can come to you from those who are in error. The return of you all is to Allah, then He will inform you about (all) that which you used to do. 

106. O you who believe! When death approaches any of you, and you make a bequest, then take the testimony of two just men of your own folk or two others from outside, if you are travelling through the land and the calamity of death befalls you. Detain them both after As-Salat (the prayer), (then) if you are in doubt (about their truthfulness), let them both swear by Allah (saying): "We wish not for any worldly gain in this, even though he (the beneficiary) be our near relative. We shall not hide Testimony of Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful."

107. If then it gets known that these two had been guilty of sin, let two others stand forth in their places, nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right. Let them swear by Allah (saying): "We affirm that our testimony is truer than that of both of them, and that we have not trespassed (the truth), for then indeed we should be of the wrong-doers."

108. That should make it closer (to the fact) that their testimony would be in its true nature and shape (and thus accepted), or else they would fear that (other) oaths would be admitted after their oaths. And fear Allah and listen ( with obedience to Him). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious and disobedient).

109. On the Day when Allah will gather the Messengers together and say to them: "What was the response you received (from men to your teaching)? They will say: "We have no knowledge, verily, only You are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (or unseen, etc.)."

110. (Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection). "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favour to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)] so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.' "

111. And when I (Allah) put in the hearts of Al-Hawarieen (the disciples) [of 'Iesa (Jesus)] to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: "We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims."

112. (Remember) when Al-Hawariun (the disciples) said: "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?" 'Iesa (Jesus) said: "Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers."

113. They said: "We wish to eat thereof and to be stronger in Faith, and to know that you have indeed told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses."

114. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a festival and a sign from You; and provide us sustenance, for You are the Best of sustainers."

115. Allah said: "I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns)."

116. And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.

117. "Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).

118. "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise ."

119. Allah will say: "This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise).

120. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
