| Surah 5 -
The Dinner Table |
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[5.1] O you
who believe! fulfill the
obligations. The cattle quadrupeds
are allowed to you except that which
is recited to you, not violating the
prohibition against game when you
are entering upon the performance of
the pilgrimage; surely Allah orders
what He desires.
[5.2] O you who believe! do
not violate the signs appointed by
Allah nor the sacred month, nor
(interfere with) the offerings, nor
the sacrificial animals with
garlands, nor those going to the
sacred house seeking the grace and
pleasure of their Lord; and when you
are free from the obligations of the
pilgrimage, then hunt, and let not
hatred of a people-- because they
hindered you from the Sacred
Masjid-- incite you to exceed the
limits, and help one another in
goodness and piety, and do not help
one another in sin and aggression;
and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah; surely Allah is severe in
requiting (evil).
[5.3] Forbidden to you is
that which dies of itself, and
blood, and flesh of swine, and that
on which any other name than that of
Allah has been invoked, and the
strangled (animal) and that beaten
to death, and that killed by a fall
and that killed by being smitten
with the horn, and that which wild
beasts have eaten, except what you
slaughter, and what is sacrificed on
stones set up (for idols) and that
you divide by the arrows; that is a
transgression. This day have those
who disbelieve despaired of your
religion, so fear them not, and fear
Me. This day have I perfected for
you your religion and completed My
favor on you and chosen for you
Islam as a religion; but whoever is
compelled by hunger, not inclining
willfully to sin, then surely Allah
is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.4] They ask you as to what
is allowed to them. Say: The good
things are allowed to you, and what
you have taught the beasts and birds
of prey, training them to hunt-- you
teach them of what Allah has taught
you-- so eat of that which they
catch for you and mention the name
of Allah over it; and be careful of
(your duty to) Allah; surely Allah
is swift in reckoning.
[5.5] This day (all) the good
things are allowed to you; and the
food of those who have been given
the Book is lawful for you and your
food is lawful for them; and the
chaste from among the believing
women and the chaste from among
those who have been given the Book
before you (are lawful for you);
when you have given them their
dowries, taking (them) in marriage,
not fornicating nor taking them for
paramours in secret; and whoever
denies faith, his work indeed is of
no account, and in the hereafter he
shall be one of the losers.
[5.6] O you who believe! when
you rise up to prayer, wash your
faces and your hands as far as the
elbows, and wipe your heads and your
feet to the ankles; and if you are
under an obligation to perform a
total ablution, then wash
(yourselves) and if you are sick or
on a journey, or one of you come
from the privy, or you have touched
the women, and you cannot find
water, betake yourselves to pure
earth and wipe your faces and your
hands therewith, Allah does not
desire to put on you any difficulty,
but He wishes to purify you and that
He may complete His favor on you, so
that you may be grateful.
[5.7] And remember the favor
of Allah on you and His covenant
with which He bound you firmly, when
you said: We have heard and we obey,
and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah, surely Allah knows what is in
the breasts.
[5.8] O you who believe! Be
upright for Allah, bearers of
witness with justice, and let not
hatred of a people incite you not to
act equitably; act equitably, that
is nearer to piety, and he careful
of (your duty to) Allah; surely
Allah is Aware of what you do.
[5.9] Allah has promised to
those who believe and do good deeds
(that) they shall have forgiveness
and a mighty reward.
[5.10] And (as for) those who
disbelieve and reject our
communications, these are the
companions of the name.
[5.11] O you who believe!
remember Allah's favor on you when a
people had determined to stretch
forth their hands towards you, but
He withheld their hands from you,
and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah; and on Allah let the
believers rely.
[5.12] And certainly Allah
made a covenant with the children of
Israel, and We raised up among them
twelve chieftains; and Allah said:
Surely I am with you; if you keep up
prayer and pay the poor-rate and
believe in My apostles and assist
them and offer to Allah a goodly
gift, I will most certainly cover
your evil deeds, and I will most
certainly cause you to enter into
gardens beneath which rivers flow,
but whoever disbelieves from among
you after that, he indeed shall lose
the right way.
[5.13] But on account of
their breaking their covenant We
cursed them and made their hearts
hard; they altered the words from
their places and they neglected a
portion of what they were reminded
of; and you shall always discover
treachery in them excepting a few of
them; so pardon them and turn away;
surely Allah loves those who do good
(to others).
[5.14] And with those who
say, We are Christians, We made a
covenant, but they neglected a
portion of what they were reminded
of, therefore We excited among them
enmity and hatred to the day of
resurrection; and Allah will inform
them of what they did.
[5.15] O followers of the
Book! indeed Our Apostle has come to
you making clear to you much of what
you concealed of the Book and
passing over much; indeed, there has
come to you light and a clear Book
from Allah;
[5.16] With it Allah guides
him who will follow His pleasure
into the ways of safety and brings
them out of utter darkness into
light by His will and guides them to
the right path.
[5.17] Certainly they
disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah--
He is the Messiah, son of Marium.
Say: Who then could control anything
as against Allah when He wished to
destroy the Messiah son of Marium
and his mother and all those on the
earth? And Allah's is the kingdom of
the heavens and the earth and what
is between them; He creates what He
pleases; and Allah has power over
all things,
[5.18] And the Jews and the
Christians say: We are the sons of
Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why
does He then chastise you for your
faults? Nay, you are mortals from
among those whom He has created, He
forgives whom He pleases and
chastises whom He pleases; and
Allah's is the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth and what is
between them, and to Him is the
eventual coming.
[5.19] O followers of the
Book! indeed Our Apostle has come to
you explaining to you after a
cessation of the (mission of the)
apostles, lest you say: There came
not to us a giver of good news or a
warner, so indeed there has come to
you a giver of good news and a
warner; and Allah has power over all
things.
[5.20] And when Musa said to
his people: O my people! remember
the favor of Allah upon you when He
raised prophets among you and made
you kings and gave you what He had
not given to any other among the
nations.
[5.21] O my people! enter the
holy land which Allah has prescribed
for you and turn not on your backs
for then you will turn back losers.
[5.22] They said: O Musa!
surely there is a strong race in it,
and we will on no account enter it
until they go out from it, so if
they go out from it, then surely we
will enter.
[5.23] Two men of those who
feared, upon both of whom Allah had
bestowed a favor, said: Enter upon
them by the gate, for when you have
entered it you shall surely be
victorious, and on Allah should you
rely if you are believers.
[5.24] They said: O Musa! we
shall never enter it so long as they
are in it; go therefore you and your
Lord, then fight you both surely we
will here sit down.
[5.25] He said: My Lord!
Surely I have no control (upon any)
but my own self and my brother;
therefore make a separation between
us and the nation of transgressors.
[5.26] He said: So it shall
surely be forbidden to them for
forty years, they shall wander about
in the land, therefore do not grieve
for the nation of transgressors.
[5.27] And relate to them the
story of the two sons of Adam with
truth when they both offered an
offering, but it was accepted from
one of them and was not accepted
from the other. He said: I will most
certainly slay you. (The other)
said: Allah only accepts from those
who guard (against evil).
[5.28] If you will stretch
forth your hand towards me to slay
me, I am not one to stretch forth my
hand towards you to slay you surely
I fear Allah, the Lord of the
worlds:
[5.29] Surely I wish that you
should bear the sin committed
against me and your own sin, and so
you would be of the inmates of the
fire, and this is the recompense of
the unjust.
[5.30] Then his mind
facilitated to him the slaying of
his brother so he slew him; then he
became one of the losers
[5.31] Then Allah sent a crow
digging up the earth so that he
might show him how he should cover
the dead body of his brother. He
said: Woe me! do I lack the strength
that I should be like this crow and
cover the dead body of my brother?
So he became of those who regret.
[5.32] For this reason did We
prescribe to the children of Israel
that whoever slays a soul, unless it
be for manslaughter or for mischief
in the land, it is as though he slew
all men; and whoever keeps it alive,
it is as though he kept alive all
men; and certainly Our apostles came
to them with clear arguments, but
even after that many of them
certainly act extravagantly in the
land.
[5.33] The punishment of
those who wage war against Allah and
His apostle and strive to make
mischief in the land is only this,
that they should be murdered or
crucified or their hands and their
feet should be cut off on opposite
sides or they should be imprisoned;
this shall be as a disgrace for them
in this world, and in the hereafter
they shall have a grievous
chastisement,
[5.34] Except those who
repent before you have them in your
power; so know that Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.35] O you who believe! be
careful of (your duty to) Allah and
seek means of nearness to Him and
strive hard in His way that you may
be successful.
[5.36] Surely (as for) those
who disbelieve, even if they had
what is in the earth, all of it, and
the like of it with it, that they
might ransom themselves with it from
the punishment of the day of
resurrection, it shall not be
accepted from them, and they shall
have a painful punishment.
[5.37] They would desire to
go forth from the fire, and they
shall not go forth from it, and they
shall have a lasting punishment.
[5.38] And (as for) the man
who steals and the woman who steals,
cut off their hands as a punishment
for what they have earned, an
exemplary punishment from Allah; and
Allah is Mighty, Wise.
[5.39] But whoever repents
after his iniquity and reforms
(himself), then surely Allah will
turn to him (mercifully); surely
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.40] Do you not know that
Allah-- His is the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth; He chastises
whom He pleases; and forgives whom
He pleases and Allah has power over
all things.
[5.41] O Apostle! let not
those grieve you who strive together
in hastening to unbelief from among
those who say with their mouths: We
believe, and their hearts do not
believe, and from among those who
are Jews; they are listeners for the
sake of a lie, listeners for another
people who have not come to you;
they alter the words from their
places, saying: If you are given
this, take it, and if you are not
given this, be cautious; and as for
him whose temptation Allah desires,
you cannot control anything for him
with Allah. Those are they for whom
Allah does not desire that He should
purify their hearts; they shall have
disgrace in this world, and they
shall have a grievous chastisement
in the hereafter.
[5.42] (They are) listeners
of a lie, devourers of what is
forbidden; therefore if they come to
you, judge between them or turn
aside from them, and if you turn
aside from them, they shall not harm
you in any way; and if you judge,
judge between them with equity;
surely Allah loves those who judge
equitably.
[5.43] And how do they make
you a judge and they have the Taurat
wherein is Allah's judgment? Yet
they turn back after that, and these
are not the believers.
[5.44] Surely We revealed the
Taurat in which was guidance and
light; with it the prophets who
submitted themselves (to Allah)
judged (matters) for those who were
Jews, and the masters of Divine
knowledge and the doctors, because
they were required to guard (part)
of the Book of Allah, and they were
witnesses thereof; therefore fear
not the people and fear Me, and do
not take a small price for My
communications; and whoever did not
judge by what Allah revealed, those
are they that are the unbelievers.
[5.45] And We prescribed to
them in it that life is for life,
and eye for eye, and nose for nose,
and ear for ear, and tooth for
tooth, and (that there is) reprisal
in wounds; but he who foregoes it,
it shall be an expiation for him;
and whoever did not judge by what
Allah revealed, those are they that
are the unjust.
[5.46] And We sent after them
in their footsteps Isa, son of
Marium, verifying what was before
him of the Taurat and We gave him
the Injeel in which was guidance and
light, and verifying what was before
it of Taurat and a guidance and an
admonition for those who guard
(against evil).
[5.47] And the followers of
the Injeel should have judged by
what Allah revealed in it; and
whoever did not judge by what Allah
revealed, those are they that are
the transgressors.
[5.48] And We have revealed
to you the Book with the truth,
verifying what is before it of the
Book and a guardian over it,
therefore judge between them by what
Allah has revealed, and do not
follow their low desires (to turn
away) from the truth that has come
to you; for every one of you did We
appoint a law and a way, and if
Allah had pleased He would have made
you (all) a single people, but that
He might try you in what He gave
you, therefore strive with one
another to hasten to virtuous deeds;
to Allah is your return, of all (of
you), so He will let you know that
in which you differed;
[5.49] And that you should
judge between them by what Allah has
revealed, and do not follow their
low desires, and be cautious of
them, lest they seduce you from part
of what Allah has revealed to you;
but if they turn back, then know
that Allah desires to afflict them
on account of some of their faults;
and most surely many of the people
are transgressors.
[5.50] Is it then the
judgment of (the times of) ignorance
that they desire? And who is better
than Allah to judge for a people who
are sure?
[5.51] O you who believe! do
not take the Jews and the Christians
for friends; they are friends of
each other; and whoever amongst you
takes them for a friend, then surely
he is one of them; surely Allah does
not guide the unjust people.
[5.52] But you will see those
in whose hearts is a disease
hastening towards them, saying: We
fear lest a calamity should befall
us; but it may be that Allah will
bring the victory or a punishment
from Himself, so that they shall be
regretting on account of what they
hid in their souls.
[5.53] And those who believe
will say: Are these they who swore
by Allah with the most forcible of
their oaths that they were most
surely with you? Their deeds shall
go for nothing, so they shall become
losers.
[5.54] O you who believe!
whoever from among you turns back
from his religion, then Allah will
bring a people, He shall love them
and they shall love Him, lowly
before the believers, mighty against
the unbelievers, they shall strive
hard in Allah's way and shall not
fear the censure of any censurer;
this is Allah's Face, He gives it to
whom He pleases, and Allah is
Ample-giving, Knowing.
[5.55] Only Allah is your
Vali and His Apostle and those who
believe, those who keep up prayers
and pay the poor-rate while they
bow.
[5.56] And whoever takes
Allah and His apostle and those who
believe for a guardian, then surely
the party of Allah are they that
shall be triumphant.
[5.57] O you who believe! do
not take for guardians those who
take your religion for a mockery and
a joke, from among those who were
given the Book before you and the
unbelievers; and be careful of (your
duty to) Allah if you are believers.
[5.58] And when you call to
prayer they make it a mockery and a
joke; this is because they are a
people who do not understand.
[5.59] Say: O followers of
the Book! do you find fault with us
(for aught) except that we believe
in Allah and in what has been
revealed to us and what was revealed
before, and that most of you are
transgressors?
[5.60] Say: Shall I inform
you of (him who is) worse than this
in retribution from Allah? (Worse is
he) whom Allah has cursed and
brought His wrath upon, and of whom
He made apes and swine, and he who
served the Shaitan; these are worse
in place and more erring from the
straight path.
[5.61] And when they come to
you, they say: We believe; and
indeed they come in with unbelief
and indeed they go forth with it;
and Allah knows best what they
concealed.
[5.62] And you will see many
of them striving with one another to
hasten in sin and exceeding the
limits, and their eating of what is
unlawfully acquired; certainly evil
is that which they do.
[5.63] Why do not the learned
men and the doctors of law prohibit
them from their speaking of what is
sinful and their eating of what is
unlawfully acquired? Certainly evil
is that which they work.
[5.64] And the Jews say: The
hand of Allah is tied up! Their
hands shall be shackled and they
shall be cursed for what they say.
Nay, both His hands are spread out,
He expends as He pleases; and what
has been revealed to you from your
Lord will certainly make many of
them increase in inordinacy and
unbelief; and We have put enmity and
hatred among them till the day of
resurrection; whenever they kindle a
fire for war Allah puts it out, and
they strive to make mischief in the
land; and Allah does not love the
mischief-makers.
[5.65] And if the followers
of the Book had believed and guarded
(against evil) We would certainly
have covered their evil deeds and We
would certainly have made them enter
gardens of bliss
[5.66] And if they had kept
up the Taurat and the Injeel and
that which was revealed to them from
their Lord, they would certainly
have eaten from above them and from
beneath their feet there is a party
of them keeping to the moderate
course, and (as for) most of them,
evil is that which they do
[5.67] O Apostle! deliver
what has been revealed to you from
your Lord; and if you do it not,
then you have not delivered His
message, and Allah will protect you
from the people; surely Allah will
not guide the unbelieving people.
[5.68] Say: O followers of
the Book! you follow no good till
you keep up the Taurat and the
Injeel and that which is revealed to
you from your Lord; and surely that
which has been revealed to you from
your Lord shall make many of them
increase in inordinacy and unbelief;
grieve not therefore for the
unbelieving people.
[5.69] Surely those who
believe and those who are Jews and
the Sabians and the Christians
whoever believes in Allah and the
last day and does good-- they shall
have no fear nor shall they grieve.
[5.70] Certainly We made a
covenant with the children of Israel
and We sent to them apostles;
whenever there came to them an
apostle with what that their souls
did not desire, some (of them) did
they call liars and some they slew.
[5.71] And they thought that
there would be no affliction, so
they became blind and deaf; then
Allah turned to them mercifully, but
many of them became blind and deaf;
and Allah is well seeing what they
do.
[5.72] Certainly they
disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He
is the Messiah, son of Marium; and
the Messiah said: O Children of
Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and
your Lord. Surely whoever associates
(others) with Allah, then Allah has
forbidden to him the garden, and his
abode is the fire; and there shall
be no helpers for the unjust.
[5.73] Certainly they
disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is
the third (person) of the three; and
there is no god but the one God, and
if they desist not from what they
say, a painful chastisement shall
befall those among them who
disbelieve.
[5.74] Will they not then
turn to Allah and ask His
forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
[5.75] The Messiah, son of
Marium is but an apostle; apostles
before him have indeed passed away;
and his mother was a truthful woman;
they both used to eat food. See how
We make the communications clear to
them, then behold, how they are
turned away.
[5.76] Say: Do you serve
besides Allah that which does not
control for you any harm, or any
profit? And Allah-- He is the
Hearing, the Knowing.
[5.77] Say: O followers of
the Book! be not unduly immoderate
in your religion, and do not follow
the low desires of people who went
astray before and led many astray
and went astray from the right path.
[5.78] Those who disbelieved
from among the children of Israel
were cursed by the tongue of Dawood
and Isa, son of Marium; this was
because they disobeyed and used to
exceed the limit.
[5.79] They used not to
forbid each other the hateful things
(which) they did; certainly evil was
that which they did.
[5.80] You will see many of
them befriending those who
disbelieve; certainly evil is that
which their souls have sent before
for them, that Allah became
displeased with them and in
chastisement shall they abide.
[5.81] And had they believed
in Allah and the prophet and what
was revealed to him, they would not
have taken them for friends but!
most of them are transgressors.
[5.82] Certainly you will
find the most violent of people in
enmity for those who believe (to be)
the Jews and those who are
polytheists, and you will certainly
find the nearest in friendship to
those who believe (to be) those who
say: We are Christians; this is
because there are priests and monks
among them and because they do not
behave proudly.
[5.83] And when they hear
what has been revealed to the
apostle you will see their eyes
overflowing with tears on account of
the truth that they recognize; they
say: Our Lord! we believe, so write
us down with the witnesses (of
truth).
[5.84] And what (reason) have
we that we should not believe in
Allah and in the truth that has come
to us, while we earnestly desire
that our Lord should cause us to
enter with the good people?
[5.85] Therefore Allah
rewarded them on account of what
they said, with gardens in which
rivers flow to abide in them; and
this is the reward of those who do
good (to others).
[5.86] And (as for) those who
disbelieve and reject Our
communications, these are the
companions of the flame.
[5.87] O you who believe! do
not forbid (yourselves) the good
things which Allah has made lawful
for you and do not exceed the
limits; surely Allah does not love
those who exceed the limits.
[5.88] And eat of the lawful
and good (things) that Allah has
given you, and be careful of (your
duty to) Allah, in Whom you believe.
[5.89] Allah does not call
you to account for what is vain in
your oaths, but He calls you to
account for the making of deliberate
oaths; so its expiation is the
feeding of ten poor men out of the
middling (food) you feed your
families with, or their clothing, or
the freeing of a neck; but whosoever
cannot find (means) then fasting for
three days; this is the expiation of
your oaths when you swear; and guard
your oaths. Thus does Allah make
clear to you His communications,
that you may be Fateful.
[5.90] O you who believe!
intoxicants and games of chance and
(sacrificing to) stones set up and
(dividing by) arrows are only an
uncleanness, the Shaitan's work;
shun it therefore that you may be
successful.
[5.91] The Shaitan only
desires to cause enmity and hatred
to spring in your midst by means of
intoxicants and games of chance, and
to keep you off from the remembrance
of Allah and from prayer. Will you
then desist?
[5.92] And obey Allah and
obey the apostle and be cautious;
but if you turn back, then know that
only a clear deliverance of the
message is (incumbent) on Our
apostle.
[5.93] On those who believe
and do good there is no blame for
what they eat, when they are careful
(of their duty) and believe and do
good deeds, then they are careful
(of their duty) and believe, then
they are careful (of their duty) and
do good (to others), and Allah loves
those who do good (to others).
[5.94] O you who believe!
Allah will certainly try you in
respect of some game which your
hands and your lances can reach,
that Allah might know who fears Him
in secret; but whoever exceeds the
limit after this, he shall have a
painful punishment.
[5.95] O you who believe! do
not kill game while you are on
pilgrimage, and whoever among you
shall kill it intentionally, the
compensation (of it) is the like of
what he killed, from the cattle, as
two just persons among you shall
judge, as an offering to be brought
to the Kaaba or the expiation (of
it) is the feeding of the poor or
the equivalent of it in fasting,
that he may taste the unwholesome
result of his deed; Allah has
pardoned what is gone by; and
whoever returns (to it), Allah will
inflict retribution on him; and
Allah is Mighty, Lord of
Retribution.
[5.96] Lawful to you is the
game of the sea and its food, a
provision for you and for the
travelers, and the game of the land
is forbidden to you so long as you
are on pilgrimage, and be careful of
(your duty to) Allah, to Whom you
shall be gathered.
[5.97] Allah has made the
Kaaba, the sacred house, a
maintenance for the people, and the
sacred month and the offerings and
the sacrificial animals with
garlands; this is that you may know
that Allah knows whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is in the
earth, and that Allah is the Knower
of all things.
[5.98] Know that Allah is
severe in requiting (evil) and that
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.99] Nothing is (incumbent)
on the Apostle but to deliver (the
message), and Allah knows what you
do openly and what you hide.
[5.100] Say: The bad and the
good are not equal, though the
abundance of the bad may please you;
so be careful of (your duty to)
Allah, O men of understanding, that
you may be successful.
[5.101] O you who believe! do
not put questions about things which
if declared to you may trouble you,
and if you question about them when
the Quran is being revealed, they
shall be declared to you; Allah
pardons this, and Allah is
Forgiving, Forbearing.
[5.102] A people before you
indeed asked such questions, and
then became disbelievers on account
of them.
[5.103] Allah has not
ordained (the making of) a bahirah
or a saibah or a wasilah or a hami
but those who disbelieve fabricate a
lie against Allah, and most of them
do not understand.
[5.104] And when it is said
to them, Come to what Allah has
revealed and to the Apostle, they
say: That on which we found our
fathers is sufficient for us. What!
even though their fathers knew
nothing and did not follow the right
way.
[5.105] O you who believe!
take care of your souls; he who errs
cannot hurt you when you are on the
right way; to Allah is your return,
of all (of you), so He will inform
you of what you did.
[5.106] O you who believe!
call to witness between you when
death draws nigh to one of you, at
the time of making the will, two
just persons from among you, or two
others from among others than you,
if you are traveling in the land and
the calamity of death befalls you;
the two (witnesses) you should
detain after the prayer; then if you
doubt (them), they shall both swear
by Allah, (saying): We will not take
for it a price, though there be a
relative, and we will not hide the
testimony of Allah for then
certainly we should be among the
sinners.
[5.107] Then if it becomes
known that they both have been
guilty of a sin, two others shall
stand up in their place from among
those who have a claim against them,
the two nearest in kin; so they two
should swear by Allah: Certainly our
testimony is truer than the
testimony of those two, and we have
not exceeded the limit, for then
most surely we should be of the
unjust.
[5.108] This is more proper
in order that they should give
testimony truly or fear that other
oaths be given after their oaths;
and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah, and hear; and Allah does not
guide the transgressing people.
[5.109] On the day when Allah
will assemble the apostles, then
say: What answer were you given?
They shall say: We have no
knowledge, surely Thou art the great
Knower of the unseen things.
[5.110] When Allah will say:
O Isa son of Marium! Remember My
favor on you and on your mother,
when I strengthened you I with the
holy Spirit, you spoke to the people
in the cradle and I when of old age,
and when I taught you the Book and
the wisdom and the Taurat and the
Injeel; and when you determined out
of clay a thing like the form of a
bird by My permission, then you
breathed into it and it became a
bird by My permission, and you
healed the blind and the leprous by
My permission; and when you brought
forth the dead by My permission; and
when I withheld the children of
Israel from you when you came to
them with clear arguments, but those
who disbelieved among them said:
This is nothing but clear
enchantment.
[5.111] And when I revealed
to the disciples, saying, Believe in
Me and My apostle, they said: We
believe and bear witness that we
submit (ourselves).
[5.112] When the disciples
said: O Isa son of Marium! will your
Lord consent to send down to us food
from heaven? He said: Be careful of
(your duty to) Allah if you are
believers.
[5.113] They said: We desire
that we should eat of it and that
our hearts should be at rest, and
that we may know that you have
indeed spoken the truth to us and
that we may be of the witnesses to
it.
[5.114] Isa the son of Marium
said: O Allah, our Lord! send I down
to us food from heaven which should
be to us an ever-recurring
happiness, to the first of us and to
the last of us, and a sign from
Thee, and grant us means of
subsistence, and Thou art the best
of the Providers.
[5.115] Allah said: Surely I
will send it down to you, but
whoever shall disbelieve afterwards
from among you, surely I will
chastise him with a chastisement
with which I will not chastise,
anyone among the nations.
[5.116] And when Allah will
say: O Isa son of Marium! did you
say to men, Take me and my mother
for two gods besides Allah he will
say: Glory be to Thee, it did not
befit me that I should say what I
had no right to (say); if I had said
it, Thou wouldst indeed have known
it; Thou knowest what is in my mind,
and I do not know what is in Thy
mind, surely Thou art the great
Knower of the unseen things.
[5.117] 1 did not say to them
aught save what Thou didst enjoin me
with: That serve Allah, my Lord and
your Lord, and I was a witness of
them so long as I was among them,
but when Thou didst cause me to die,
Thou were the watcher over them, and
Thou art witness of all things.
[5.118] If Thou should
chastise them, then surely they are
Thy servants; and if Thou should
forgive them, then surely Thou art
the Mighty, the Wise.
[5.119] Allah will say: This
is the day when their truth shall
benefit the truthful ones; they
shall have gardens beneath which
rivers flow to abide in them for
ever: Allah is well pleased with
them and they are well pleased with
Allah; this is the mighty
achievement.
[5.120] Allah's is the
kingdom of the heavens and the earth
and what is in them; and He has
power over all things. |
