سَلْ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ كَمْ اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ اٰیَةٍۭ بَیِّنَةٍ ؕ وَ مَنْ یُّبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ۝۲۱۱

Ask the children of Israel how many a clear sign We had given them. But if one changes the favour of God after having received it, then remember, God is severe in revenge.

زُیِّنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا وَ یَسْخَرُوْنَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۘ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا فَوْقَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَرْزُقُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ۝۲۱۲

Enamoured are the unbelievers of the life of this world, and scoff at the faithful. But those who keep from evil and follow the straight path will have a higher place than they on the Day of Reckoning; for God gives in measure without number whomsoever He will.

كَانَ النَّاسُ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ۫ فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ النَّبِیّٖنَ مُبَشِّرِیْنَ وَ مُنْذِرِیْنَ ۪ وَ اَنْزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِیَحْكُمَ بَیْنَ النَّاسِ فِیْمَا اخْتَلَفُوْا فِیْهِ ؕ وَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ فِیْهِ اِلَّا الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوْهُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَیِّنٰتُ بَغْیًۢا بَیْنَهُمْ ۚ فَهَدَی اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوْا فِیْهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِاِذْنِهٖ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ۝۲۱۳

Men belonged to a single community, and God sent them messengers to give them happy tidings and warnings, and sent the Book with them containing the truth to judge between them in matters of dispute; but only those who received it differed after receiving clear proofs, on account of waywardness (and jealousies) among them. Then God by His dispensation showed those who believed the way to the truth about which they were differing; for God shows whom He please the path that is straight.

اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَمَّا یَاْتِكُمْ مَّثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ؕ مَسَّتْهُمُ الْبَاْسَآءُ وَ الضَّرَّآءُ وَ زُلْزِلُوْا حَتّٰی یَقُوْلَ الرَّسُوْلُ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ مَتٰی نَصْرُ اللّٰهِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّٰهِ قَرِیْبٌ۝۲۱۴

Do you think you will find your way to Paradise even though you have not known what the others before you have gone through? They had suffered affliction and loss, and were shaken and tossed about so that even the Apostle had to cry out with his followers: "When will the help of God arrive?" Remember, the help of God is ever at hand.

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ مَا ذَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ ؕ۬ قُلْ مَاۤ اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِّنْ خَیْرٍ فَلِلْوَالِدَیْنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبِیْنَ وَ الْیَتٰمٰی وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِیْلِ ؕ وَ مَا تَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَیْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِهٖ عَلِیْمٌ۝۲۱۵

They ask you of what they should give in charity. Tell them: "What you can spare of your wealth as should benefit the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the wayfarers, for God is not unaware of the good deeds that you do."

كُتِبَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَ هُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَ عَسٰۤی اَنْ تَكْرَهُوْا شَیْـًٔا وَّ هُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَ عَسٰۤی اَنْ تُحِبُّوْا شَیْـًٔا وَّ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ وَ اَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۠۝۲۱۶

Enjoined on you is fighting, and this you abhor. You may dislike a thing yet it may be good for you; or a thing may haply please you but may be bad for you. Only God has knowledge, and you do not know.

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِیْهِ ؕ قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِیْهِ كَبِیْرٌ ؕ وَ صَدٌّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ كُفْرٌۢ بِهٖ وَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۗ وَ اِخْرَاجُ اَهْلِهٖ مِنْهُ اَكْبَرُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَ الْفِتْنَةُ اَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ ؕ وَ لَا یَزَالُوْنَ یُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ حَتّٰی یَرُدُّوْكُمْ عَنْ دِیْنِكُمْ اِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوْا ؕ وَ مَنْ یَّرْتَدِدْ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِیْنِهٖ فَیَمُتْ وَ هُوَ كَافِرٌ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۝۲۱۷

They ask you of war in the holy month. Tell them: "To fight in that month is a great sin. But a greater sin in the eyes of God is to hinder people from the way of God, and not to believe in Him, and to bar access to the Holy Mosque and turn people out of its precincts; and oppression is worse than killing. They will always seek war against you till they turn you away from your faith, if they can. But those of you who turn back on their faith and die disbelieving will have wasted their deeds in this world and the next. They are inmates of Hell, and shall there abide for ever.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ الَّذِیْنَ هَاجَرُوْا وَ جٰهَدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۝۲۱۸

Surely those who believe, and those who leave their homes and fight in the way of God, may hope for His benevolence, for God is forgiving and kind.

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَ الْمَیْسِرِ ؕ قُلْ فِیْهِمَاۤ اِثْمٌ كَبِیْرٌ وَّ مَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ ؗ وَ اِثْمُهُمَاۤ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ نَّفْعِهِمَا ؕ وَ یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ مَا ذَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ ؕ۬ قُلِ الْعَفْوَ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَۙ۝۲۱۹

They ask you of (intoxicants,) wine and gambling. Tell them: "There is great enervation though profit in them for men; but their enervation is greater than benefit. And they ask you what they should give. Tell them: "The utmost you can spare." So does God reveal His signs: You may haply reflect

فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ ؕ وَ یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْیَتٰمٰی ؕ قُلْ اِصْلَاحٌ لَّهُمْ خَیْرٌ ؕ وَ اِنْ تُخَالِطُوْهُمْ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِ ؕ وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَاَعْنَتَكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۲۲۰

On this world and the next. And they ask you about the orphans. Tell them: "Improving their lot is much better; and if you take interest in their affairs, they are your brethren; and God is aware who are corrupt and who are honest; and if He had pleased He could surely have imposed on you hardship, for God is all-powerful and all-wise.
