In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[6.1] All
praise is due to Allah, Who created
the heavens and the earth and made
the darkness and the light; yet
those who disbelieve set up equals
with their Lord.
[6.2] He it is Who created
you from clay, then He decreed a
term; and there is a term named with
Him; still you doubt.
[6.3] And He is Allah in the
heavens and in the earth; He knows
your secret (thoughts) and your open
(words), and He knows what you earn.
[6.4] And there does not come
to them any communication of the
communications of their Lord but
they turn aside from it
[6.5] So they have indeed
rejected the truth when it came to
them; therefore the truth of what
they mocked at will shine upon them.
[6.6] Do they not consider
how many a generation We have
destroyed before them, whom We had
established in the earth as We have
not established you, and We sent the
clouds pouring rain on them in
abundance, and We made the rivers to
flow beneath them, then We destroyed
them on account of their faults and
raised up after them another
generation.
[6.7] And if We had sent to
you a writing on a paper, then they
had touched it with their hands,
certainly those who disbelieve would
have said: This is nothing but clear
enchantment.
[6.8] And they say: Why has
not an angel been sent down to him?
And had We sent down an angel, the
matter would have certainly been
decided and then they would not have
been respited.
[6.9] And if We had made him
angel, We would certainly have made
him a man, and We would certainly
have made confused to them what they
make confused.
[6.10] And certainly apostles
before you were mocked at, but that
which they mocked at encompassed the
scoffers among them.
[6.11] Say: Travel in the
land, then see what was the end of
the rejecters.
[6.12] Say: To whom belongs
what is in the heavens and the
earth? Say: To Allah; He has
ordained mercy on Himself; most
certainly He will gather you on the
resurrection day-- there is no doubt
about it. (As for) those who have
lost their souls, they will not
believe.
[6.13] And to Him belongs
whatever dwells in the night and the
day; and He is the Hearing, the
Knowing.
[6.14] Say: Shall I take a
guardian besides Allah, the
Originator of the heavens and the
earth, and He feeds (others) and is
not (Himself) fed. Say: I am
commanded to be the first who
submits himself, and you should not
be of the polytheists.
[6.15] Say: Surely I fear, if
I disobey my Lord, the chastisement
of a grievous day.
[6.16] He from whom it is
averted on that day, Allah indeed
has shown mercy to him; and this is
a manifest achievement.
[6.17] And if Allah touch you
with affliction, there is none to
take it off but He; and if He visit
you with good, then He has power
over all things.
[6.18] And He is the Supreme,
above His servants; and He is the
Wise, the Aware.
[6.19] Say: What thing is the
weightiest in testimony? Say: Allah
is witness between you and me; and
this Quran has been revealed to me
that with it I may warn you and
whomsoever it reaches. Do you really
bear witness that there are other
gods with Allah? Say: I do not bear
witness. Say: He is only one God,
and surely I am clear of that which
you set up (with Him).
[6.20] Those whom We have
given the Book recognize him as they
recognize their sons; (as for) those
who have lost their souls, they will
not believe.
[6.21] And who is more unjust
than he who forges a lie against
Allah or (he who) gives the lie to
His communications; surely the
unjust will not be successful.
[6.22] And on the day when We
shall gather them all together, then
shall We say to those who associated
others (with Allah): Where are your
associates whom you asserted?
[6.23] Then their excuse
would be nothing but that they would
say: By Allah, our Lord, we were not
polytheists.
[6.24] See how they lie
against their own souls, and that
which they forged has passed away
from them.
[6.25] And of them is he who
hearkens to you, and We have cast
veils over their hearts lest they
understand it and a heaviness into
their ears; and even if they see
every sign they will not believe in
it; so much so that when they come
to you they only dispute with you;
those who disbelieve say: This is
naught but the stories of the
ancients.
[6.26] And they prohibit
(others) from it and go far away
from it, and they only bring
destruction upon their own souls
while they do not perceive.
[6.27] And could you see when
they are made to stand before the
fire, then they shall say: Would
that we were sent back, and we would
not reject the communications of our
Lord and we would be of the
believers.
[6.28] Nay, what they
concealed before shall become
manifest to them; and if they were
sent back, they would certainly go
back to that which they are
forbidden, and most surely they are
liars.
[6.29] And they say: There is
nothing but our life of this world,
and we shall not be raised.
[6.30] And could you see when
they are made to stand before their
Lord. He will say: Is not this the
truth? They will say: Yea! by our
Lord. He will say: Taste then the
chastisement because you
disbelieved.
[6.31] They are losers indeed
who reject the meeting of Allah;
until when the hour comes upon them
all of a sudden they shall say: O
our grief for our neglecting it! and
they shall bear their burdens on
their backs; now surely evil is that
which they bear.
[6.32] And this world's life
is naught but a play and an idle
sport and certainly the abode of the
hereafter is better for those who
guard (against evil); do you not
then understand?
[6.33] We know indeed that
what they say certainly grieves you,
but surely they do not call you a
liar; but the unjust deny the
communications of Allah.
[6.34] And certainly apostles
before you were rejected, but they
were patient on being rejected and
persecuted until Our help came to
them; and there is none to change
the words of Allah, and certainly
there has come to you some
information about the messengers.
[6.35] And if their turning
away is hard on you, then if you can
seek an opening (to go down) into
the earth or a ladder (to ascend up)
to heaven so that you should bring
them a sign and if Allah had pleased
He would certainly have gathered
them all on guidance, therefore be
not of the ignorant.
[6.36] Only those accept who
listen; and (as to) the dead, Allah
will raise them, then to Him they
shall be returned.
[6.37] And they say: Why has
not a sign been sent down to him
from his Lord? Say: Surely Allah is
able to send down a sign, but most
of them do not know.
[6.38] And there is no animal
that walks upon the earth nor a bird
that flies with its two wings but
(they are) genera like yourselves;
We have not neglected anything in
the Book, then to their Lord shall
they be gathered.
[6.39] And they who reject
Our communications are deaf and
dumb, in utter darkness; whom Allah
pleases He causes to err and whom He
pleases He puts on the right way.
[6.40] Say: Tell me if the
chastisement of Allah should
overtake you or the hour should come
upon you, will you call (on others)
besides Allah, if you are truthful?
[6.41] Nay, Him you call
upon, so He clears away that for
which you pray if He pleases and you
forget what you set up (with Him).
[6.42] And certainly We sent
(apostles) to nations before you
then We seized them with distress
and affliction in order that they
might humble themselves.
[6.43] Yet why did they not,
when Our punishment came to them,
humble themselves? But their hearts
hardened and the Shaitan made what
they did fair-seeming to them.
[6.44] But when they
neglected that with which they had
been admonished, We opened for them
the doors of all things, until when
they rejoiced in what they were
given We seized them suddenly; then
lo! they were in utter despair.
[6.45] So the roots of the
people who were unjust were cut off;
and all praise is due to Allah, the
Lord of the worlds.
[6.46] Say: Have you
considered that if Allah takes away
your hearing and your sight and sets
a seal on your hearts, who is the
god besides Allah that can bring it
to you? See how We repeat the
communications, yet they turn away.
[6.47] Say: Have you
considered if the chastisement of
Allah should overtake you suddenly
or openly, will any be destroyed but
the unjust people?
[6.48] And We send not
messengers but as announcers of good
news and givers of warning, then
whoever believes and acts aright,
they shall have no fear, nor shall
they grieve.
[6.49] And (as for) those who
reject Our communications,
chastisement shall afflict them
because they transgressed.
[6.50] Say: I do not say to
you, I have with me the treasures of
Allah, nor do I know the unseen, nor
do I say to you that I am an angel;
I do not follow aught save that
which is revealed to me. Say: Are
the blind and the seeing one alike?
Do you not then reflect?
[6.51] And warn with it those
who fear that they shall be gathered
to their Lord-- there is no guardian
for them, nor any intercessor
besides Him-- that they may guard
(against evil).
[6.52] And do not drive away
those who call upon their Lord in
the morning and the evening, they
desire only His favor; neither are
you answerable for any reckoning of
theirs, nor are they answerable for
any reckoning of yours, so that you
should drive them away and thus be
of the unjust.
[6.53] And thus do We try
some of them by others so that they
say: Are these they upon whom Allah
has conferred benefit from among us?
Does not Allah best know the
grateful?
[6.54] And when those who
believe in Our communications come
to you, say: Peace be on you, your
Lord has ordained mercy on Himself,
(so) that if any one of you does
evil in ignorance, then turns after
that and acts aright, then He is
Forgiving, Merciful.
[6.55] And thus do We make
distinct the communications and so
that the way of the guilty may
become clear.
[6.56] Say: I am forbidden to
serve those whom you call upon
besides Allah. Say: I do not follow
your low desires. for then indeed I
should have gone astray and I should
not be of those who go aright.
[6.57] Say: Surely I have
manifest proof from my Lord and you
call it a lie; I have not with me
that which you would hasten; the t
judgment is only Allah's; He relates
the truth and He is the best of
deciders.
[6.58] Say: If that which you
desire to hasten were with me, the
matter would have certainly been
decided between you and me; and
Allah best knows the unjust.
[6.59] And with Him are the
keys of the unseen treasures-- none
knows them but He; and He knows what
is in the land and the sea, and
there falls not a leaf but He knows
it, nor a grain in the darkness of
the earth, nor anything green nor
dry but (it is all) in a clear book.
[6.60] And He it is Who takes
your souls at night (in sleep), and
He knows what you acquire in the
day, then He raises you up therein
that an appointed term may be
fulfilled; then to Him is your
return, then He will inform you of
what you were doing.
[6.61] And He is the Supreme,
above His servants, and He sends
keepers over you; until when death
comes to one of you, Our messengers
cause him to die, and they are not
remiss.
[6.62] Then are they sent
back to Allah, their Master, the
True one; now surely His is the
judgment and He is swiftest in
taking account.
[6.63] Say: Who is it that
delivers you from the dangers of the
land and the sea (when) you call
upon Him (openly) humiliating
yourselves, and in secret: If He
delivers us from this, we should
certainly be of the grateful ones.
[6.64] Say: Allah delivers
you from them and from every
distress, but again you set up
others (with Him).
[6.65] Say: He has the power
that He should send on you a
chastisement from above you or from
beneath your feet, or that He should
throw you into confusion, (making
you) of different parties; and make
some of you taste the fighting of
others. See how We repeat the
communications that they may
understand.
[6.66] And your people call
it a lie and it is the very truth.
Say: I am not placed in charge of
you.
[6.67] For every prophecy is
a term, and you will come to know
(it).
[6.68] And when you see those
who enter into false discourses
about Our communications, withdraw
from them until they enter into some
other discourse, and if the Shaitan
causes you to forget, then do not
sit after recollection with the
unjust people.
[6.69] And nought of the
reckoning of their (deeds) shall be
against those who guard (against
evil), but (theirs) is only to
remind, haply they may guard.
[6.70] And leave those who
have taken their religion for a play
and an idle sport, and whom this
world's life has deceived, and
remind (them) thereby lest a soul
should be given up to destruction
for what it has earned; it shall not
have besides Allah any guardian nor
an intercessor, and if it should
seek to give every compensation, it
shall not be accepted from it; these
are they who shall be given up to
destruction for what they earned;
they shall have a drink of boiling
water and a painful chastisement
because they disbelieved.
[6.71] Say: Shall we call on
that besides Allah, which does not
benefit us nor harm us, and shall we
be returned back on our heels after
Allah has guided us, like him whom
the Shaitans have made to fall down
perplexed in the earth? He has
companions who call him to the right
way, (saying): Come to us. Say:
Surely the guidance of Allah, that
is the (true) guidance, and we are
commanded that we should submit to
the Lord of the worlds.
[6.72] And that you should
keep up prayer and be careful of
(your duty to) Him; and He it is to
Whom you shall be gathered.
[6.73] And He it is Who has
created the heavens and the earth
with truth, and on the day He says:
Be, it is. His word is the truth,
and His is the kingdom on the day
when the trumpet shall be blown; the
Knower of the unseen and the seen;
and He is the Wise, the Aware.
[6.74] And when Ibrahim said
to his sire, Azar: Do you take idols
for gods? Surely I see you and your
people in manifest error.
[6.75] And thus did We show
Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavens
and the earth and that he might be
of those who are sure.
[6.76] So when the night
over-shadowed him, he saw a star;
said he: Is this my Lord? So when it
set, he said: I do not love the
setting ones.
[6.77] Then when he saw the
moon rising, he said: Is this my
Lord? So when it set, he said: If my
Lord had not guided me I should
certainly be of the erring people.
[6.78] Then when he saw the
sun rising, he said: Is this my
Lord? Is this the greatest? So when
it set, he said: O my people! surely
I am clear of what you set up (with
Allah).
[6.79] Surely I have turned
myself, being upright, wholly to Him
Who originated the heavens and the
earth, and I am not of the
polytheists.
[6.80] And his people
disputed with him. He said: Do you
dispute with me respecting Allah?
And He has guided me indeed; and I
do not fear in any way those that
you set up with Him, unless my Lord
pleases; my Lord comprehends all
things in His knowledge; will you
not then mind?
[6.81] And how should I fear
what you have set up (with Him),
while you do not fear that you have
set up with Allah that for which He
has not sent down to you any
authority; which then of the two
parties is surer of security, if you
know?
[6.82] Those who believe and
do not mix up their faith with
iniquity, those are they who shall
have the security and they are those
who go aright.
[6.83] And this was Our
argument which we gave to Ibrahim
against his people; We exalt in
dignity whom We please; surely your
Lord is Wise, Knowing.
[6.84] And We gave to him
Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did We guide,
and Nuh did We guide before, and of
his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman
and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; and
thus do We reward those who do good
(to others).
[6.85] And Zakariya and Yahya
and Isa and Ilyas; every one was of
the good;
[6.86] And Ismail and
Al-Yasha and Yunus and Lut; and
every one We made to excel (in) the
worlds:
[6.87] And from among their
fathers and their descendants and
their brethren, and We chose them
and guided them into the right way.
[6.88] This is Allah's
guidance, He guides thereby whom He
pleases of His servants; and if they
had set up others (with Him),
certainly what they did would have
become ineffectual for them.
[6.89] These are they to whom
We gave the book and the wisdom and
the prophecy; therefore if these
disbelieve in it We have already
entrusted with it a people who are
not disbelievers in it.
[6.90] These are they whom
Allah guided, therefore follow their
guidance. Say: I do not ask you for
any reward for it; it is nothing but
a reminder to the nations.
[6.91] And they do not assign
to Allah the attributes due to Him
when they say: Allah has not
revealed anything to a mortal. Say:
Who revealed the Book which Musa
brought, a light and a guidance to
men, which you make into scattered
writings which you show while you
conceal much? And you were taught
what you did not know, (neither) you
nor your fathers. Say: Allah then
leave them sporting in their vain
discourses.
[6.92] And this is a Book We
have revealed, blessed, verifying
that which is before it, and that
you may warn the metropolis and
those around her; and those who
believe in the hereafter believe in
it, and they attend to their prayers
constantly.
[6.93] And who is more unjust
than he who forges a lie against
Allah, or says: It has been revealed
to me; while nothing has been
revealed to him, and he who says: I
can reveal the like of what Allah
has revealed? and if you had seen
when the unjust shall be in the
agonies of death and the angels
shall spread forth their hands: Give
up your souls; today shall you be
recompensed with an ignominious
chastisement because you spoke
against Allah other than the truth
and (because) you showed pride
against His communications.
[6.94] And certainly you have
come to Us alone as We created you
at first, and you have left behind
your backs the things which We gave
you, and We do not see with you your
intercessors about whom you asserted
that they were (Allah's) associates
in respect to you; certainly the
ties between you are now cut off and
what you asserted is gone from you.
[6.95] Surely Allah causes
the grain and the stone to
germinate; He brings forth the
living from the dead and He is the
bringer forth of the dead from the
living; that is Allah! how are you
then turned away.
[6.96] He causes the dawn to
break; and He has made the night for
rest, and the sun and the moon for
reckoning; this is an arrangement of
the Mighty, the Knowing.
[6.97] And He it is Who has
made the stars for you that you
might follow the right way thereby
in the darkness of the land and the
sea; truly We have made plain the
communications for a people who
know.
[6.98] And He it is Who has
brought you into being from a single
soul, then there is (for you) a
resting-place and a depository;
indeed We have made plain the
communications for a people who
understand.
[6.99] And He it is Who sends
down water from the cloud, then We
bring forth with it buds of all
(plants), then We bring forth from
it green (foliage) from which We
produce grain piled up (in the ear);
and of the palm-tree, of the sheaths
of it, come forth clusters (of
dates) within reach, and gardens of
grapes and olives and pomegranates,
alike and unlike; behold the fruit
of it when it yields the fruit and
the ripening of it; most surely
there are signs in this for a people
who believe.
[6.100] And they make the
jinn associates with Allah, while He
created them, and they falsely
attribute to Him sons and daughters
without knowledge; glory be to Him,
and highly exalted is He above what
they ascribe (to Him).
[6.101] Wonderful Originator
of the heavens and the earth! How
could He have a son when He has no
consort, and He (Himself) created
everything, and He is the Knower of
all things.
[6.102] That is Allah, your
Lord, there is no god but He; the
Creator of all things, therefore
serve Him, and He has charge of all
things.
[6.103] Vision comprehends
Him not, and He comprehends (all)
vision; and He is the Knower of
subtleties, the Aware.
[6.104] Indeed there have
come to you clear proofs from your
Lord; whoever will therefore see, it
is for his own soul and whoever will
be blind, it shall be against
himself and I am not a keeper over
you.
[6.105] And thus do We repeat
the communications and that they may
say: You have read; and that We may
make it clear to a people who know.
[6.106] Follow what is
revealed to you from your Lord;
there is no god but He; and withdraw
from the polytheists.
[6.107] And if Allah had
pleased, they would not have set up
others (with Him) and We have not
appointed you a keeper over them,
and you are not placed in charge of
them.
[6.108] And do not abuse
those whom they call upon besides
Allah, lest exceeding the limits
they should abuse Allah out of
ignorance. Thus have We made fair
seeming to every people their deeds;
then to their Lord shall be their
return, so He will inform them of
what they did.
[6.109] And they swear by
Allah with the strongest of their
oaths, that if a sign came to them
they would most certainly believe in
it. Say: Signs are only with Allah;
and what should make you know that
when it comes they will not believe?
[6.110] And We will turn
their hearts and their sights, even
as they did not believe in it the
first time, and We will leave them
in their inordinacy, blindly
wandering on.
[6.111] And even if We had
sent down to them the angels and the
dead had spoken to them and We had
brought together all things before
them, they would not believe unless
Allah pleases, but most of them are
ignorant.
[6.112] And thus did We make
for every prophet an enemy, the
Shaitans from among men and jinn,
some of them suggesting to others
varnished falsehood to deceive
(them), and had your Lord pleased
they would not have done it,
therefore leave them and that which
they forge.
[6.113] And that the hearts
of those who do not believe in the
hereafter may incline to it and that
they may be well pleased with it and
that they may earn what they are
going to earn (of evil).
[6.114] Shall I then seek a
judge other than Allah? And He it is
Who has revealed to you the Book
(which is) made plain; and those
whom We have given the Book know
that it is revealed by your Lord
with truth, therefore you should not
be of the disputers.
[6.115] And the word of your
Lord has been accomplished truly and
justly; there is none who can change
His words, and He is the Hearing,
the Knowing.
[6.116] And if you obey most
of those in the earth, they will
lead you astray from Allah's way;
they follow but conjecture and they
only lie.
[6.117] Surely your Lord-- He
best knows who goes astray from His
way, and He best knows those who
follow the right course.
[6.118] Therefore eat of that
on which Allah's name has been
mentioned if you are believers in
His communications.
[6.119] And what reason have
you that you should not eat of that
on which Allah's name has been
mentioned, and He has already made
plain to you what He has forbidden
to you-- excepting what you are
compelled to; and most surely many
would lead (people) astray by their
low desires out of ignorance; surely
your Lord-- He best knows those who
exceed the limits.
[6.120] And abandon open and
secret sin; surely they who earn sin
shall be recompensed with what they
earned.
[6.121] And do not eat of
that on which Allah's name has not
been mentioned, and that is most
surely a transgression; and most
surely the Shaitans suggest to their
friends that they should contend
with you; and if you obey them, you
shall most surely be polytheists.
[6.122] Is he who was dead
then We raised him to life and made
for him a light by which he walks
among the people, like him whose
likeness is that of one in utter
darkness whence he cannot come
forth? Thus what they did was made
fair seeming to the unbelievers.
[6.123] And thus have We made
in every town the great ones to be
its guilty ones, that they may plan
therein; and they do not plan but
against their own souls, and they do
not perceive.
[6.124] And when a
communication comes to them they
say: We will not believe till we are
given the like of what Allah's
apostles are given. Allah best knows
where He places His message. There
shall befall those who are guilty
humiliation from Allah and severe
chastisement because of what they
planned.
[6.125] Therefore (for)
whomsoever Allah intends that He
would guide him aright, He expands
his breast for Islam, and (for)
whomsoever He intends that He should
cause him to err, He makes his
breast strait and narrow as though
he were ascending upwards; thus does
Allah lay uncleanness on those who
do not believe.
[6.126] And this is the path
of your Lord, (a) right (path);
indeed We have made the
communications clear for a people
who mind.
[6.127] They shall have the
abode of peace with their Lord, and
He is their guardian because of what
they did.
[6.128] And on the day when
He shall gather them all together: O
assembly of jinn! you took away a
great part of mankind. And their
friends from among the men shall
say: Our Lord! some of us profited
by others and we have reached our
appointed term which Thou didst
appoint for us. He shall say: The
fire is your abode, to abide in it,
except as Allah is pleased; surely
your Lord is Wise, Knowing.
[6.129] And thus do We make
some of the iniquitous to befriend
others on account of what they
earned.
[6.130] O assembly of jinn
and men! did there not come to you
apostles from among you, relating to
you My communications and warning
you of the meeting of this day of
yours? They shall say: We bear
witness against ourselves; and this
world's life deceived them, and they
shall bear witness against their own
souls that they were unbelievers.
[6.131] This is because your
Lord would not destroy towns
unjustly while their people were
negligent.
[6.132] And all have degrees
according to what they do; and your
Lord is not heedless of what they
do.
[6.133] And your Lord is the
Self-sufficient one, the Lord of
mercy; if He pleases, He may take
you off, and make whom He pleases
successors after you, even as He
raised you up from the seed of
another people.
[6.134] Surely what you are
threatened with must come to pass
and you cannot escape (it).
[6.135] Say: O my people! act
according to your ability; I too am
acting; so you will soon come to
know, for whom (of us) will be the
(good) end of the abode; surely the
unjust shall not be successful.
[6.136] And they set apart a
portion for Allah out of what He has
created of tilth and cattle, and
say: This is for Allah-- so they
assert-- and this for our
associates; then what is for their
associates, it reaches not to Allah,
and whatever is (set apart) for
Allah, it reaches to their
associates; evil is that which they
judge.
[6.137] And thus their
associates have made fair seeming to
most of the polytheists the killing
of their children, that they may
cause them to perish and obscure for
them their religion; and if Allah
had pleased, they would not have
done it, therefore leave them and
that which they forge.
[6.138] And they say: These
are cattle and tilth prohibited,
none shall eat them except such as
We please-- so they assert-- and
cattle whose backs are forbidden,
and cattle on which they would not
mention Allah's name-- forging a lie
against Him; He shall requite them
for what they forged.
[6.139] And they say: What is
in the wombs of these cattle is
specially for our males, and
forbidden to our wives, and if it be
stillborn, then they are all
partners in it; He will reward them
for their attributing (falsehood to
Allah); surely He is Wise, Knowing.
[6.140] They are lost indeed
who kill their children foolishly
without knowledge, and forbid. What
Allah has given to them forging a
lie against Allah; they have indeed
gone astray, and they are not the
followers of the right course.
[6.141] And He it is Who
produces gardens (of vine),
trellised and untrellised, and palms
and seed-produce of which the fruits
are of various sorts, and olives and
pomegranates, like and unlike; eat
of its fruit when it bears fruit,
and pay the due of it on the day of
its reaping, and do not act
extravagantly; surely He does not
love the extravagant.
[6.142] And of cattle (He
created) beasts of burden and those
which are fit for slaughter only;
eat of what Allah has given you and
do not follow the footsteps of the
Shaitan; surely he is your open
enemy.
[6.143] Eight in pairs-- two
of sheep and two of goats. Say: Has
He forbidden the two males or the
two females or that which the wombs
of the two females contain? Inform
me with knowledge if you are
truthful.
[6.144] And two of camels and
two of cows. Say: Has He forbidden
the two males or the two females or
that which the wombs of the two
females contain? Or were you
witnesses when Allah enjoined you
this? Who, then, is more unjust than
he who forges a lie against Allah
that he should lead astray men
without knowledge? Surely Allah does
not guide the unjust people.
[6.145] Say: I do not find in
that which has been revealed to me
anything forbidden for an eater to
eat of except that it be what has
died of itself, or blood poured
forth, or flesh of swine-- for that
surely is unclean-- or that which is
a transgression, other than (the
name of) Allah having been invoked
on it; but whoever is driven to
necessity, not desiring nor
exceeding the limit, then surely
your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
[6.146] And to those who were
Jews We made unlawful every animal
having claws, and of oxen and sheep
We made unlawful to them the fat of
both, except such as was on their
backs or the entrails or what was
mixed with bones: this was a
punishment We gave them on account
of their rebellion, and We are
surely Truthful.
[6.147] But if they give you
the lie, then say: Your Lord is the
Lord of All-encompassing mercy; and
His punishment cannot be averted
from the guilty people.
[6.148] Those who are
polytheists will say: If Allah had
pleased we would not have associated
(aught with Him) nor our fathers,
nor would we have forbidden (to
ourselves) anything; even so did
those before them reject until they
tasted Our punishment. Say: Have you
any knowledge with you so you should
bring it forth to us? You only
follow a conjecture and you only
tell lies.
[6.149] Say: Then Allah's is
the conclusive argument; so if He
please, He would certainly guide you
all.
[6.150] Say: Bring your
witnesses who should bear witness
that Allah has forbidden this, then
if they bear witness, do not bear
witness with them; and follow not
the low desires of those who reject
Our communications and of those who
do not believe in the hereafter, and
they make (others) equal to their
Lord.
[6.151] Say: Come I will
recite what your Lord has forbidden
to you-- (remember) that you do not
associate anything with Him and show
kindness to your parents, and do not
slay your children for (fear of)
poverty-- We provide for you and for
them-- and do not draw nigh to
indecencies, those of them which are
apparent and those which are
concealed, and do not kill the soul
which Allah has forbidden except for
the requirements of justice; this He
has enjoined you with that you may
understand.
[6.152] And do not approach
the property of the orphan except in
the best manner until he attains his
maturity, and give full measure and
weight with justice-- We do not
impose on any soul a duty except to
the extent of its ability; and when
you speak, then be just though it be
(against) a relative, and fulfill
Allah's covenant; this He has
enjoined you with that you may be
mindful;
[6.153] And (know) that this
is My path, the right one therefore
follow it, and follow not (other)
ways, for they will lead you away
from His way; this He has enjoined
you with that you may guard (against
evil).
[6.154] Again, We gave the
Book to Musa to complete (Our
blessings) on him who would do good
(to others), and making plain all
things and a guidance and a mercy,
so that they should believe in the
meeting of their Lord.
[6.155] And this is a Book We
have revealed, blessed; therefore
follow it and guard (against evil)
that mercy may be shown to you.
[6.156] Lest you say that the
Book was only revealed to two
parties before us and We were truly
unaware of what they read.
[6.157] Or lest you should
say: If the Book had been revealed
to us, we would certainly have been
better guided than they, so indeed
there has come to you clear proof
from your Lord, and guidance and
mercy. Who then is more unjust than
he who rejects Allah's
communications and turns away from
them? We will reward those who turn
away from Our communications with an
evil chastisement because they
turned away.
[6.158] They do not wait
aught but that the angels should
come to them, or that your Lord
should come, or that some of the
signs of your Lord should come. On
the day when some of the signs of
your Lord shall come, its faith
shall not profit a soul which did
not believe before, or earn good
through its faith. Say: Wait; we too
are waiting.
[6.159] Surely they who
divided their religion into parts
and became sects, you have no
concern with them; their affair is
only with Allah, then He will inform
them of what they did.
[6.160] Whoever brings a good
deed, he shall have ten like it, and
whoever brings an evil deed, he
shall be recompensed only with the
like of it, and they shall not be
dealt with unjustly.
[6.161] Say: Surely, (as for)
me, my Lord has guided me to the
right path; (to) a most right
religion, the faith of Ibrahim the
upright one, and he was not of the
polytheists.
[6.162] Say. Surely my prayer
and my sacrifice and my life and my
death are (all) for Allah, the Lord
of the worlds;
[6.163] No associate has He;
and this am I commanded, and I am
the first of those who submit.
[6.164] Say: What! shall I
seek a Lord other than Allah? And He
is the Lord of all things; and no
soul earns (evil) but against
itself, and no bearer of burden
shall bear the burden of another;
then to your Lord is your return, so
He will inform you of that in which
you differed.
[6.165] And He it is Who has
made you successors in the land and
raised some of you above others by
(various) grades, that He might try
you by what He has given you; surely
your Lord is quick to requite
(evil), and He is most surely the
Forgiving, the Merciful. |
