Salam wa Alikum This is the Quran, a new translation by M A. S. Abdel

this begins just number three.
We favorite some of these messengers above others. God spoke
to some others he raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary our
clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. If God had
so willed, their successors would not have fought each other after
they had been brought clear signs. But they disagreed, some believed
and some disbelieved. If God had so willed, they would not have
fought each other, but God does what He will you who believe, give
from what We have provided for you, before the day comes when
there is no bargaining, no friendship and no intercession. It
is the disbelievers who are wrong. God, there is no god but him the
EverLiving the ever watchful, neither slumber nor sleep
overtakes him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs
to a man who is there that can intercede with him except by his
leave. He knows what is before them, and what is behind them. But
they do not comprehend any of his knowledge except what He wills.
His throne extends over the heavens and the earth. It does not
worry him to preserve them both. He's the most high the tremendous,
there is no compulsion in religion. true guidance has become
distinct from error. So whoever rejects false gods and believes in
God has grasped the Firmest handhold, one that will never
break. God is all hearing and all knowing God is the ally of those
who believe. He brings them out of the depths of darkness and into
the light.
But close to the disbelievers are their false gods, who take them
from the light into the depths of darkness. They are the inhabitants
of the fire, and there they will remain Prophet, have you not
thought about the man who disputed with Abraham about his Lord,
because God had given him power to rule. When Abraham said, It is my
lord who gives life and death. He said, I to give life and death. So
Abraham said, God brings the sun from the east. So bring it from
the west. The disbeliever was dumbfounded. God does not guide
those who do evil.
Or take the one who passed by a ruin town. He said, How will God
give this life when it has died? So God made him die for 100 years
and then raise him up saying, How long did you stay like that? He
answered a day or part of a day. God said, No, you stayed like that
for 100 years. Look at your food and drink. They have not gone bad.
Look at your donkey, we will make you a sign for the people. Look at
the bones. See how we bring them together and clothed them with
flesh. When all became clear to him, he said, Now I know that God
has power over everything. And when Abraham said, My Lord, show
me how you give life to the dead, He said, Do you not believe then?
Yes, said Abraham, but just to put my heart at rest. So God said take
four birds and train them to come back to you. Then place them on a
separate hilltops. Call them back and they will come flying to you
know that God is all powerful and wise.
Those who spend their wealth and God's cause are like grains of
corn that produce seven years, each bearing 100 grains. God gives
multiple increase to whoever he wishes. He is limitless and all
knowing those who spend their wealth in God's cause and do not
follow their spending with reminders of their benevolence or
hurtful words will have their rewards with their Lord. No fear
for them, nor will they grieve. a kind word and forgiveness is
better than a charitable deed followed by hurtful words. God is
self sufficient forbearing
you who believe, do not cancel out your charitable deeds with
reminders and hurtful words. Like someone who spends his wealth only
to be seen by people not believing in God and the Last Day. Such a
person is like a rock with Earth on it. Heavy rain falls and leaves
it completely bare. Such people get no rewards for their works.
God does not guide the disbelievers but those who spend
their wealth in order to gain God's approval and as an
affirmation of their own faith are like a garden on a hill. Heavy
rain falls and it produces double its normal yield. Even if no heavy
rain falls, it will still be watered by the do God sees all
that you do. Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees and
vines, grace with flowing streams and all kinds of
produce, which, when you are afflicted with your old age and
feeble offspring is struck by a fiery whirlwind and burnt down. In
this way God makes His Messages clear to you, so that you may
reflect on them.
You who believe, give charitably from the good things you have
acquired, and that we have produced for you from the earth.
Do not seek to give the bad things that you yourself would only
accept with your eyes close. Remember that God is self
sufficient, Worthy of all praise. Satan threatens you with the
prospect of poverty and commands you to due foul deeds. God
promises you His forgiveness and His abundance. God is limitless
and all knowing and he gives wisdom to whoever He will, whoever
is given wisdom has truly been given much good. But only those
with insight, bear this in mind, whatever you may give all of our
to give God knows it well. And those who do wrong will have no
one to help them. If you give charity openly, it is good. But if
you keep it in secret, and give it to the needy in private, that is
better for you. And it will atone for some of your bad deeds. God is
well aware of all that you do. It is not for you prophet to guide
them. It is God who guides whoever He will.
Whatever charity you give benefits your own souls, provided you do it
for the sake of God. Whatever you give will be repaid to you in full
and you will not be wronged. Give to those needy who are wholly
occupied in God's way, and cannot travel in the land for trade. The
unknowing might think them rich because of their self restraint.
But you will recognize them by their characteristic of not
begging persistently. God is well aware of any good you give. Those
who give out of their own possessions by night and by day,
in private and in public will have their reward with their Lord. No
fear for them, nor will they grieve. But those who take usury
will rise up on the Day of Resurrection like someone
tormented by Satan's touch. That is because they say trade and
usury are the same. But God has allowed trade and forbidden usury.
Whoever on receiving God's warning stops taking usury may keep his
past gains, God will be his judge. But whoever goes back to usury
will be an inhabitant of the fire. There to remain God blights usury,
but bless his charitable deeds with multiple increase.
He does not love the ungrateful sinner. Those who believe do good
deeds, keep up the prayer and pay the prescribed arms will have the
reward with their Lord, no or no fear for them, nor will they
grieve.
You who believe, beware of God, give up any outstanding dues from
usury. If you are true believers, if you do not, then be warned of
war from God and His messenger. You shall have your capital if you
repent, and without suffering loss or causing others to suffer loss.
If the debtor is in difficulty, then delay things until matters
become easier for him. Still, if you were to write it off as an act
of charity, that would be better for you. If only you knew. Beware
of a day when you will be returned to God. Every soul will be paid in
full for what it has earned, and no one will be wronged. You who
believe when you contract the debt for a stated term, put it down in
writing, have a scribe write it down justly between you know
scribe should refuse to write, let him write as God has taught him,
let the debtor dictate and let him fear God his Lord, and not
diminish the debt at all.
If the debtor is feeble minded, weak, or unable to dictate, then
let his guardian dictate justly call in two men as witnesses. If
two men are not there, then call one men and two women out of those
who you approve as witnesses so that if one of the two women
should forget the other can remind her. Let the witnesses not refuse
when they are summoned. Do not disdain to write the debt down, be
it small or large, along with the time it falls due.
This way is more equitable in God's eyes, more reliable as
testimony and more likely to prevent doubts arising between
you. But if the merchandise is there and you hand it over, there
is no blame on you. If you do not write it down. have witnesses
present whenever you trade with one another, and let no harm be
done to either scribe or witness. For if you did cause them harm. It
would be a crime on your part. Be mindful of God and He will teach
you He has full knowledge of everything.
If you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe something should be
handed over as security
But if you decide to trust one another, then let the one who is
trusted fulfill his trust. Let him be mindful of God his Lord, do not
conceal evidence. Anyone who does so has a sinful heart. And God is
fully aware of everything you do.
Whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to God, and whether
you reveal or conceal your thoughts, God will call you to
account for them. He will forgive whoever He will and punish whoever
He will. He has power over all things. The messenger believes in
what has been sent down to him from his Lord, as do the faithful.
They all believe in God, His angels, His scriptures and his
messengers. We make no distinction between any of his messengers they
say, we hear and obey. Grant us your forgiveness, our Lord to you
we all return.
God does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. Each gains
whatever good it has done and suffers. It's bad. Lord, do not
take us to task if we forget when making mistakes, Lord, do not
burden us as you burden those before us, Lord, do not burden us
with more than we have strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us and
have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the
disbelievers.
Chapter Three, the family of Enron
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. Alif
Lam mean, God, there is no god but him. The ever living the ever
watchful, step by step, he has sent the Scripture down to you
Prophet with the truth, confirming what went before he sent down the
Torah and the Gospel earlier as a guide for people, and he has sent
down the distinction between right and wrong. Those who deny God's
revelations will suffer severe torment. God is almighty and
capable of retribution. Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from
God. It is He Who shapes you all in the womb as he pleases. There
is no god but him the mighty the wise. It is He Who has sent this
scripture down to you prophet. Some of its verses are definite in
meaning. These are the cornerstone of the scripture, and others are
ambiguous. The perverse at heart eagerly pursued the ambiguities in
their attempt to make trouble and to pin down a specific meaning of
their own. Only God knows the true meaning. Those firmly grounded in
knowledge say, we believe in it, it is all from our Lord. Only
those with real perception will take heed our Lord, do not let our
hearts deviate after you have guided us. Grant us your mercy.
You are the ever giving
our Lord you will gather all people on the day of which there
is no doubt. God never breaks His promise.
Neither their possessions nor their children will be any use to
the disbelievers against God. The disbelievers will be fuel for the
fire, just as pharaohs, people and their predecessors denied our
revelations, and God punished them for their sins. God is severe and
punishing. Prophet, say to the disbelievers you will be defeated
and driven together into *, a foul resting place. You have
already seen a sign in the two armies that met in battle. One
fighting for God's cause and the other made up of disbelievers
with their own eyes as a former saw the ladder to be twice their
number, but God helps whoever He will.
There truly is a lesson in this for all with eyes to see.
The love of desirable things is made alluring for men, women,
children, gold and silver treasures piled up high
horses with fine markings, livestock and farmland. These may
be the joys of this life, but God has the best place to return to
Prophet say, Would you like me to tell you the things that are
better than all of these? Their Lord will give those who are
mindful of God gardens grace with flowing streams, where they will
stay with pure spouses and God's good pleasure. God is fully aware
of his servants, those who say our Lord, we believe so forgive us our
sins and protect us from suffering in the fire. Those who are
steadfast, truthful, truly devout, who give in God's cause and pray
before dawn for forgiveness. God bears God bears witness that there
is no god but him, as do the angels and those who have
knowledge. He upholds justice. There is no god but
at him, the Almighty the all wise, true religion in God's eyes is
Islam, devotion to Him alone. Those who were given the Scripture
disagreed out of rivalry only after they had been given
knowledge. If anyone denies God's revelations, God is swift to take
account. If they argue with you, Prophet, say, I have devoted
myself to God alone. And so have my followers. Ask those who are
given the Scripture, as well as those without one.
Do you to devote yourselves to him alone? If they do, they will be
guided. But if they turn away, your only duty is to convey the
message. God is aware of his servants
give news of agonizing torment to those who ignore God's revelations
who unjustifiably killed prophets, who killed those who command that
justice is done.
The deeds of such people will come to nothing in this world and in
the next, and no one will help them. Have you considered those
who are given a share of the Scripture.
When they're asked to accept judgment from God scripture, some
of them turn their backs and walk away, all because they declare the
Fire will only touch us for a limited number of days. The lies
they have invented have led them astray in their own religion. How
will they fare when we gathered them together for a day of which
there is no doubt when every soul will be paid in full for what it
has done, and they will not be wronged?
Say, God, holder of all control. You give control to whoever you
will and remove it from whoever you will. You elevate whoever you
will and humble, humble whoever you will. All that is good lies in
your hand. You have power over everything. You merge night into
day and day into night, you bring the living out of the dead and the
dead out of the living. You provide limitlessly for whoever
you will.
The believers should not make the disbelievers their allies, rather
than other believers. Anyone who does such a thing will isolate
himself completely from God, except when you need to protect
yourself from them.
God warns you to be aware of him. The final return is to God say
Prophet, God knows everything that is in your hearts, whether you
conceal it or reveal it. He knows everything in the heavens and
earth. God has power over all things. On the day when every soul
finds all the good it has done present before it. It will wish
all the bad it has done to be far, far away. God warns you to be
aware of him but God is compassionate towards his
servants. Say, If you love God, follow me. And God will love you
and forgive you your sins. God is Most forgiving, most merciful,
say, obey God and the messenger. But if they turn away, know that
God does not love those who ignore His commands. God chose Adam,
Noah, Abraham's family, and the family of Emraan over all other
people. In one line of dissent. God hears and knows all. And Ron's
wife said, Lord, I have dedicated what is growing in my room
entirely to you. So accept this from me. You are the one who hears
and knows all. But when she gave birth, she said, My Lord, I have
been given birth to a girl. God knew best what she had given birth
to. The male is not like the female. I name her Mary and I
commend her and her offspring to your protection from the rejected
Satan.
Her Lord graciously accepted her and made her grow and goodness and
entrusted her to the charge of Zakariya. Whenever Zakaria went in
to see her in her sanctuary. He found her supplied with
provisions. He said, Mary, how is it you have these provisions? And
she said, they are from God. God provides limitlessly for whoever
He will.
There and then Zechariah pray to his Lord saying, Lord, from your
grace, grant me virtuous offspring. You hear every prayer.
The angels called out to him while he stood praying in the sanctuary.
God gives you news of John confirming a word from God. He
will be noble and chaste, a prophet, one of the righteous. He
said, My Lord, how can I have a son when I'm so old and then my
wife is barren? And Angel said it will be so God does whatever He
wills
he said, My Lord, give me a sign, your sign the end
All said is that you will not communicate with anyone for three
days except by gestures. Remember, your Lord often celebrate His
glory in the evening and at dawn.
The angel said to Mary, Mary, God has chosen you and made you pure.
He has truly chosen you above all women, marry, be devout to your
Lord, prostrate yourself and warship bow down with those who
pray. This is an account of things beyond your knowledge that we
reveal to you, Mohammed, you are not present among them when they
cast lots to see which of them should take charge of Mary, you
were not present with them when they argued about her.
The angels said, Mary, God gives you news of a Word from Him, whose
name will be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, who will be held in
honor in this world and the next, who will be one of those but
nearer to God.
He will speak to people in his infancy, and in his adulthood, he
will be one of the righteous. She said, My Lord, how can I have a
son when no man has touched me, the angel said,
This is how God creates what He will. When he has ordained
something, He only says B and it is he will teach him the Scripture
and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel.
He will send him as a messenger to the Children of Israel.
I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, I will make the
shape of a bird for you out of clay, then breathe into it. And
with God's permission, it will become a real bird. I will heal
the blind and the leper, and bring the dead back to life with God's
permission.
I will tell you what you may eat and what you may store up in your
houses. There truly is a sign for you in this if you are believers,
I have come to confirm the truth of the Torah which preceded me and
to make some things lawful to you, which used to be forbidden. I have
come to you with a sign from your Lord. Be mindful of God obey me.
God is my Lord and your Lord so serve Him. That is a straight
path. When Jesus became aware that they still did not believe he
said, Who will help me in God's cause? That did the disciples
said, we will be God's helpers. We believe in God, witness our
devotion to Him. Lord, we believe in what you have revealed and we
follow the messenger record us amongst those who bear witness the
truth. The disbelievers schemed but God also schemed, God is the
best of schemers. God said, Jesus, I will take you back and raise you
up to me. I will purify you of the disbelievers to the Day of
Resurrection, I will make those who followed you superior to those
who disbelieved.
Then you will all return to me and I will judge between you
regardless regarding your differences.
I will make the disbelievers suffer severely in this world and
the next no one will help them as for those who believe and do good
deeds, God will pay them their reward in full but God does not
love evildoers.
We relate to you Mohammed this revelation, a decisive statement.
In God's eyes Jesus is just like Adam, He created him from dust
said to him Be and he was. This is the truth from your Lord. So do
not be one of those who doubt. If anyone disputes this with you, now
that you have been given this knowledge, say, Come, let us
gather our sons and your sons, our women in your women, ourselves in
yourselves. And let us pray earnestly and invoke God's
rejection on those of us who are lying.
This is the truth of the matter. There is no god but God. God is
the Exalted the decider.
If they turn away, know that God is well aware of anyone who causes
corruption, say, People of the Book, let us arrive at a statement
that is common to us all. We worship God alone. we ascribe no
partner to him. And none of us takes other besides God as lords,
if they turn away, say witness our devotion to Him.
People have the book. Why do you argue about Abraham when the Torah
and the gospels were not revealed until after his time?
Do you not understand? You argue about some things in which you
have some knowledge? But why do you argue about things of which
you know nothing? God knows and you do not? Abraham was neither a
Jew nor a Christian. He was upright and devoted to God, never
an idolatry. And the people who are closest to him are those who
truly follow His ways, this prophet and true believers, God is
close to true believers. Some of the people of the book would
dearly love to lead you believers astray. But they only lead
themselves astray. Though they do not realize it. People have the
book. Why do you deny God's revelations when you can see their
true people of the book? Why do you mix truth with false with
falsehood?
Why do you hide the truth when you recognize it? Some of the people
of the book say to each other, at the beginning of the day, believe
in what has been revealed to these believers, the Muslims, then at
the end of the day, reject it, so that they too may turn back.
But do not sincerely believe in anyone unless he follows your own
religion. Prophet, tell them true guidance is the guidance of God.
They say, do not believe that anyone else could be given a
revelation similar to what you were given. Or that they could use
it to argue against you, in your Lord's presence. Prophet tell them
all grace is in God's hands. He grants it to whoever He will. He
is all embracing all knowing. And he singled out for his mercy
whoever He will, His grace is infinite. There are people of the
Book who if you profit and trust them with a heap of gold, will
return it to you in tact. But there are others of them, who if
you entrust them with a single dinar will not return it to you
unless you keep standing over them. Because they say we are
under no obligation towards the Gentiles. They tell a lie against
God and they know it. No, indeed, God loves those who keep their
pledges and are mindful of him. But those who sell out God's
covenant, and their own oats for a small price will have no share in
the life to come. God will neither speak to them nor look at them on
the Day of Resurrection, He will not cleanse them of their sins,
agonizing torment awaits them. There are some of them, who twist
the Scripture and their tongues to make you people think that what
they say is part of the Scripture, when it is not. They say it is
from God when it is not. They attribute lies to God, and they
know it.
No person to whom God has given the Scripture, wisdom and
prophethood would ever say to people, be my servants, not gods,
he would say, you should be devoted to God because you have
taught the Scripture and studied it closely.
He would never command you to take angels and prophets as lords. How
could he command you to be disbelievers? After you had
devoted yourself to God?
God took a pledge from the Prophets saying, if after I've
bestowed scripture and wisdom upon you, a messenger comes confirming
what you have been given. You must believe in him and support him. Do
you affirm this and accept my pledge is binding on you? They
said, we do. He said, Then bear witness and I too will bear
witness. Those who turn away after this are the ones who break
pledges. Do they see anything other than submission to God?
Everyone in the heavens and earth submits to him willingly or
unwillingly. They will all be returned to him. Say Muhammad, we
Muslims believe in God, and in what has been sent down to us and
to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the tribes. We believe in what
has been given to Moses, Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We
do not make a distinction between any of them. It is to him that we
devote ourselves. If anyone seeks a religion other than Islam,
complete devotion to God, it will not be accepted from him. He will
be one of the losers in the hereafter. Why would God guide
people who deny the truth, after they had believed and acknowledged
that the messenger is true? And after they have been shown clear
proof, God does not guide evildoers. Such people will be
rewarded with rejection by God, by the angels by all people, and so
they will remain with no relief or respite for their suffering.
Not so those who afterwards repent and mend their ways. God is Most
Forgiving and Merciful. Those who after believing, then disbelieve
and increase in their disbelief, will not have their repentance
accepted. They are the ones who have gone far astray.
Those who disbelieve and die disbelievers will not be saved,
even if they offer enough gold to fill the entire Earth. agonizing
torment is in store for them.
And there will be no one to help them none of you believers will
attain true piety unless you give out of what you cherish whatever
you give God knows about it very well this ends Joe's number three
