00:00:00 --> 00:00:06
			Salam aleikum. This is the Quran,
a new translation by m a s Abdul
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			Halim
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			makes me learn
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			this begins Joe's number five
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			women already married other than
your slaves. God has ordained all
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			this for you. Other women are
lawful to you, so long as you seek
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			them in marriage with gifts from
your property, looking for wedlock
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			rather than fornication.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			If you wish to enjoy women through
marriage, give them their bride
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			gift. This is obligatory, though
if you should choose mutually
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			after fulfilling this obligation
to do otherwise with the bride
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			gift, you will not be blamed. God
is all knowing and all wise. If
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			any of you does not have the means
to marry a believing free woman
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			than marry a believing slave. God
knows best the depth of your
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			faith, you are all part of the
same family. So marry them with
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			their people's consent and their
proper bride gifts making the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			married women not adulterous is or
lovers. If they commit adultery
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			when they are married, their
punishment will be half that of a
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			free woman.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			This is for those of you who fear
that you will sin. It is better
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			for you to practice self
restraint. God is Most Forgiving
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			and Merciful. He wishes to make
his laws clear to you and guide
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			you to the righteous ways of those
who went before you.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:39
			He wishes to turn towards you in
mercy. He is all knowing all wise.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			He wishes to turn towards you. But
those who follow their loss want
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			to go far astray. God wishes to
lighten your burden. Man was
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:53
			created week. You who believe do
not wrongfully consume each
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			other's wealth, but trade by
mutual consent. Do not kill each
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:02
			other, for God is merciful to you.
If any of you does these things
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			out of hostility and injustice, we
shall make him suffer fire that is
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			easy for God. But if you avoid the
great sins you have been
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			forbidden, we shall wipe out your
minor misdeeds and let you in
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			through the entrance of honor. Do
not covet what God has given to
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			some of you more than others. Men
have the portion they have earned,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			and women the portion they have
earned. You should rather ask God
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			for some of his bounty. He has
full knowledge of everything. We
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			have appointed heirs for
everything that parents and close
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			relatives leave behind, including
those to whom you have pledged
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:45
			your hands in marriage. So give
them their share. God is witnessed
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			to everything. husbands should
take good care of their wives with
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			the bounties God has given to some
more than others, and with what
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			they spend out of their own money.
Righteous wives are devout and
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			guard would God would have them
guard in their husband's absence.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			If you fear high handedness from
your wives, remind them of the
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:10
			teachings of God, then ignore them
when you go to bed, then hit them.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			If they obey you, you have no
right to act against them. God is
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			Most High and great, if you
believe is fear that a couple may
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			break up. appoint one arbiter from
his family and one from hers. Then
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			it's a couple want to put things
right, God will bring about a
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			reconciliation between them. He is
all knowing, all aware.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:39
			Worship God joined nothing with
him. Be good to your parents, to
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			relatives, to orphans, to the
needy to neighbors near and far,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			to travelers in need, and to your
slaves. God does not like the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			arrogant, boastful people who are
miserly and order other people to
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			be the same hiding the bounty God
has given them we have prepared a
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			humiliating torment for such
ungrateful people. Nor does he
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			like those who spend their wealth
to show off, who do not believe in
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			him or the last day. Whoever has
seen as his companion has an evil
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			companion. What harm would it do
them to believe in God and the
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			Last Day and give charitably from
the sustenance God has given them?
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			God knows them well. He does not
wrong anyone by as much as the
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:26
			weight of the speck of the dust.
He doubles any good deed and gives
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			a tremendous reward of his own.
What will they do when we bring a
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			witness from each community with
you Muhammad as a witness against
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			these people on that day, those
who disbelieved and disobeyed the
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			prophet will wish that the earth
could swallow them up. They will
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			not be able to hide anything from
God.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			You who believe, do not come
anywhere near the prayer if you
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			are intoxicated. Not until you
know what you are saying. Nor if
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			you're in a state of major ritual
impurity, though you may pass
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			through the mosque not
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			until you have bathed. If you are
ill on a journey, have relieved
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			yourselves or had * and
cannot find any water. Then find
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			some clean sand and wipe your
faces and hands with it. God is
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			always ready to pardon and
forgive.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			Profit. Do you not see how those
who are given a share of the
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			Scripture purchase misguidance and
want you believers to to lose the
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			right path.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			God knows your enemies best. God
is enough to protect you and to
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			help you. Some Jews distort the
meaning of revealed words they say
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			we hear and disobey and listen,
adding the insult, May you not
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			hear and run ina look at us,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			twisting it abusively with their
tongues so as to disparage
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:53
			religion. If they had said we hear
and obey, listen and own SORNA
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			look at us. That would have been
better and more proper for them.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			But God has spurned them for the
defiance, they believe very little
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			People of the Book, believe in
what we have set down to confirm
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			what you already have, before we
wipe out your sense of direction,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			turning you back or reject you. As
we rejected those who broke the
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			Sabbath. God's will is always
done. God does not forgive the
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			joining of partners with him
anything less than what he
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			forgives to whoever He will. But
anyone who joins partners with God
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:33
			has fabricated a tremendous sin.
Profit. Do you see those who claim
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:38
			purity for themselves? No. God
purifies whoever He will. No one
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			will be wronged by as much as the
husk of a date stone.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			See how they invent lies about
God? This in itself is a flagrant
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			sin.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			Do you not see how those given a
share of the Scripture evidently
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			now believe in idols and evil
powers. They say of the
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:02
			disbelievers they are more rightly
guided than the believers. Those
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:07
			are the ones God has rejected. You
prophet will not find anyone to
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			help those God has rejected.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Do they have any share of what he
possesses?
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			If they did, they would not give
away so much as the groove of a
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			date stone.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:23
			Do they envy other people for the
bounty God has granted them. We
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			gave the descendants of Abraham
the Scripture and wisdom and we
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			gave them a great kingdom. But
some of them believed in it, and
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			some turned away from it.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			* blazes fiercely enough. We
shall send those who reject our
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			revelations to the fire. When
their skins have been burned away,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			we shall replace them with new
ones so that they may continue to
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			feel the pain. God is mighty and
wise. As for those who believe and
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			do good deeds, we shall admit them
into gardens grace with flowing
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			streams, and there they will
remain forever.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			They will have pure spouses there.
And we shall admit them into cool
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:08
			refreshing shade. God commands you
people to return things entrusted
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			to you to their rightful owners.
And if you judge between people to
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			do so with justice, God's
instructions to you are excellent.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			For he hears and sees everything.
You who believe, obey God and the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			messenger and those in authority
among you. If you're in dispute
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			over any matter, refer to God and
the messenger. If you truly
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			believe in God, and the last day
that is better and fairer in the
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			end.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:39
			Do you profit not see those who
claim to believe in what has been
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:44
			sent down to you and in what was
sent down before you yet still
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			want to turn to unjust tyrants for
judgment, although they have been
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			ordered to reject them. Satan
wants to lead them far astray.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			When they're told turn to God's
revelations and the messenger for
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			judgment. You see the hypocrites
turn away from you completely.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			How will it be if disaster strikes
them because of what they
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:10
			themselves have done, and they
come to you swearing by God. We
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			only want it to do good and
achieve harmony. God knows well
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			what is in the hearts of these
people. So ignore what they say
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			instruct them and speak to them
about themselves using penetrating
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:27
			words. All the messengers we sent
were meant to be obeyed by God's
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			leave. If only the hypocrites had
come down to you profit when they
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			wronged to themselves and begged
God's forgiveness and the
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			messenger had asked forgiveness
from them.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			They would have found that God
accepts repentance and his most
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:46
			merciful by your Lord. They will
not be true believers until they
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:51
			let you decide between them in all
matters of dispute, and find no
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			resistance in their souls to your
decisions, accepting them totally.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			If we had ordained lay down your
lives or leave your homes
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			They would not have done so except
for a few, it would have been far
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			better for them and stronger
confirmation of their faith, if
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			they had done as they were told,
and we would have given them a
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			rich reward of our own and guided
them to a straight path.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:21
			Whoever obeys God and the
messenger will be among those He
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			has blessed the messengers, the
truthful, those who bear witness
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			to the truth and the righteous,
what excellent companions these
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			are, that is God's favor. No one
knows better than him.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:38
			You who believe Be on your guard,
march to battle in small groups or
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			as one body among you, there is
the sort of person who is sure to
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			lag behind if a calamity befalls
you, he says, God has been
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:51
			gracious to me that I was not
there with them. Yet he is sure to
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:57
			say, if you are favored by God, if
only I had been with them, I could
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			have made great gains, as if there
had been no ties of affection
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			between you and him. Let those of
you who are willing to trade the
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			life of this world for the life to
come, fight in God's way, to
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:14
			anyone who fights in God's way,
whether killed or victorious, we
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			shall give a great reward.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			Why should you not fight in God's
cause and for those oppressed men,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			women and children who cry out,
Lord, rescue us from the from this
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:29
			town whose people are oppressors?
By your grace, give us a protector
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			and give us a helper.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			The believers FIGHT FOR GOD'S
cause, while those who reject
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			Faith, fight for an unjust cause.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:44
			Fight the allies of Satan, Satan
strategies are truly weak. Profit.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			Do you not see those who are told,
restrain yourselves from fighting,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			perform the prayer and pay the
prescribed arms when fighting was
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			ordained for them? Some of them
feared men as much as or even more
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			than they feared God, saying,
Lord, why have you ordained
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:06
			fighting for us? If only you would
give us just a little more time,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:11
			say to them, little is the
enjoyment in this world. The
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			hereafter is far better for those
who are mindful of God. You will
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			not be wronged by as much as the
fiber in a date stone. Death will
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:24
			overtake you no matter where you
may be, even inside high towers.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:30
			When good fortune comes their way,
they say this is from God, but
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			when harm befalls them, they say,
this is from you Prophet, say to
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			them both come from God. What is
the matter with these people that
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:43
			they can barely understand what
they are told. Anything good that
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			happens to you profit is from God.
Anything bad is ultimately from
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:52
			yourselves. We have sent you as a
messenger to people, God is
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:57
			sufficient witness. Whoever obeys
the messenger obeys God, if some
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			pay no heed, we have not sent you
to be their keeper. They say we
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			obey you. But as soon as they
leave your presence, some of them
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			scheme by night to do other than
what you said. God records what
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			they scheme so leave them alone
and put your trust in God. He is
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			sufficient protector.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			Will they not think about this
Quran. If it had been from anyone
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			other than God, they would have
found much inconsistency in it.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			Whenever news of any matter comes
to them, whether concerning peace
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:33
			or war, they spread it about, if
they referred it to the messenger
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			and those in authority among them,
those seeking its meaning would
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:41
			have found it out from them. If it
were not for God's bounty and
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			mercy towards you, you would
almost all have followed Satan. So
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			profit fight in God's way. You are
accountable only for yourself,
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			urges the believers on God may
well curb the power of the
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			disbelievers, for he is stronger
in might and more terrible and
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			punishment. Whoever speaks for a
good cause will share in its
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			benefits and whoever speaks for a
bad cause will share in its
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			burden. God controls everything.
But even in battle when you
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			believers are offered a greeting,
respond with a better one, or at
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:17
			least return it. God keeps a count
of everything. He is God there is
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			no god but him. He will gather you
all together on the Day of
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			Resurrection about which there is
no doubt whose word can be truer
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			than God's
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			believers. Why are you divided
into about the hypocrites when God
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			Himself has rejected them because
of what they have done?
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:42
			Do you want to guide those God has
left to stray? If God leaves
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			anyone to stray you prophet will
never find a way for him. They
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			would dearly like you to reject
faith, as they themselves have
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			done to be like them. So do not
take them as allies until they
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:58
			migrate to Medina for God's cause.
If they turn on you, then seize
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			and kill them wherever you
encounter them.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			I take none of them as an ally or
supporter. But as for those who
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			reach people with whom you have a
treaty, or who come over to you
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			because their hearts shrink from
fighting against you, or against
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:17
			their own people, God could have
given them power over you, and
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			they would have fought you.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			So if they withdraw and do not
fight you and offer you peace,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28
			then God gives you no way against
them. You will find others who
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:32
			wish to be safe from you, and from
their own people. But whenever
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			they are back in a situation where
they attempted to fight you, they
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:41
			succumb to it. So if they neither
withdraw nor offer you peace, nor
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			restrain themselves from fighting
you, cease and kill them wherever
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			you encountered them. We give you
clear authority against such
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			people. Never should a believer
kill another believer except by
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			mistake. If anyone kills a
believer by mistake, he must free
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			one Muslim slave and pay
compensation to the victims
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:04
			relatives, unless they charitably
forego it. If the victim belong to
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:09
			people at war with you, but as a
believer, then the compensation is
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			only to free a believing slave. If
you belong to a people with whom
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17
			you have a treaty, then
compensation should be handed over
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:22
			to his relatives, and unbelieving
slaves set free. Anyone who lacks
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26
			the means to do this must fast for
two consecutive months by way of
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:31
			repentance to God. God is all
knowing all wise. If anyone kills
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			a believer deliberately, the
punishment for him is *. And
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:40
			there he will remain. God is angry
with him and rejects him, and has
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:45
			prepared a tremendous torment for
him. So you who believe Be careful
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:49
			when you go to fight in God's way.
And do not say to someone who
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			offers you a greeting of peace.
You are not a believer out of
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:57
			desire for the chance gains of
this life. God has plenty of gains
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:01
			for you. You yourself were in the
same position once, but God was
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			gracious to you. So be careful.
God is fully aware of what you do.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			Those believers who stay at home
apart from those with an
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			incapacity are not equal to those
who commit themselves in their
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:17
			possessions to striving in God's
way. God has raised such people to
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:21
			a rank above those who stay at
home. Although he has promised all
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:25
			believers a good reward. Those who
strive are favored with a
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			tremendous reward above those who
stay at home, high ranks conferred
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			by him as well as forgiveness and
mercy. God is Most Forgiving and
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			Merciful.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			When the angels take the souls of
those who have wronged themselves,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:45
			they ask them, what circumstances
were you in? They reply, we were
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:49
			oppressed in this land. And the
angels say but was God's earth not
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:54
			spacious enough for you to migrate
to some other place? These people
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			will have * as their refuge and
evil destination. But not so the
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:02
			truly helpless men, women and
children, who have no means in
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:07
			their power nor any way to leave.
God may well pardon these for his
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			most pardoning and most forgiving,
anyone who migrates for God's
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:16
			cause will find many refuge and
great plenty in the earth. And if
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:21
			anyone leaves home as a migrant
towards God and His Messenger, and
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:26
			is then overtaken by death, his
reward from God is sure, God is
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			Most Forgiving and most Merciful.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			When you believers are traveling
in the land, you will not be
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			blamed for shortening your
prayers. If you feel the
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:41
			disbelievers may harm you. They
are your sworn enemies. When you
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:45
			profit are with the believers,
leading them in prayer. Let a
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:49
			group of them stand up in prayer
with you taking their weapons with
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:53
			them. And when they have finished
their prostration let them take up
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:58
			their positions at the back. Then
let the other group who have not
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			yet prayed pray with you. Also on
their guard and armed with their
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			weapons. The disbelievers would
dearly like you to be heedless of
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			your weapons and baggage in order
for them to take you in a single
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:13
			assault. You will not be blamed if
you lay aside your arms when you
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			are overtaken by heavy rain or
illness, but be on your guard.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			Indeed, God has prepared a
humiliating punishment for the
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			disbelievers.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			After performing the ritual
prayer, continue to remember God
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:32
			standing, sitting and lying on
your sides. And once you are safe,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			keep up regular prayer for prayer
is obligatory for the believers at
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			prescribed times. Do not be faint
hearted and pursuing you the
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			enemy. If you are suffering
hardship, so are they but you hope
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			to receive something from God
which they cannot hope. God is all
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			knowing and wise. We have sent
down the scripture to you Prophet
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:56
			with the truth so that you can
judge between people in accordance
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			with what God has shown you. Do
not be an advocate for though
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Those who betray trust. Ask God
for forgiveness. He is Most
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			Forgiving and Merciful. Do not
argue for those who betray their
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:13
			own souls. God does not love
anyone given to treachery and sin.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			They try to hide themselves from
people, but they cannot hide from
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:22
			God. He is with them when they
plot at night, saying things that
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			do not please him.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			He is fully aware of everything
they do. They're you believers are
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			arguing on their behalf in this
life, but who will argue on their
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			behalf with God on the day of
resurrection, who will be their
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:41
			defender? Yet anyone who does evil
a wrongs his own soul, and then
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			ask God for forgiveness will find
him most forgiving and merciful.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:51
			He who commits sin does so against
his own soul. God is all knowing
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			and wise, and anyone who commits
an offense or a sin, and then
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			throws the blame onto some
innocent person has burdened
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			himself with deceit as well as
flagrant sin.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:07
			If it were not for the grace of
God and His mercy to you profit, a
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			party of them would have tried to
lead you astray. They only lead
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:16
			themselves astray and cannot harm
you in any way. Since God has sent
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20
			down the Scripture and wisdom to
you, and taught you what you did
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			not know.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			God's bounty to you is great
indeed. There is no good in most
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:30
			of their secret talk only in
commending charity or good
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:35
			reconciliation between people. To
anyone who does these things,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:40
			seeking to please God. We shall
give a rich reward. If anyone
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			opposes the messenger, after
guidance has been made clear to
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			him, and follows a path other than
that of the believers. We shall
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:51
			leave him on his chosen path, we
shall burn him in * an evil
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			destination.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:58
			God does not forgive the worship
of others besides Him, though He
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:03
			does forgive whoever He will for
lesser sins. For whoever does This
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			has gone far, far astray.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:11
			In his place the idolatrous invoke
only females and Satan, the rebel
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15
			God rejected, who said, I will
certainly take my do share of
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:19
			their servants. I will mislead
them and incite vain desires in
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			them. I will commend them to slit
the ears of cattle, I will commend
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:28
			them to tamper with God's
creation. Whoever chooses Satan as
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			a patron instead of God is utterly
ruined. He makes them promises and
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:37
			raises false hopes. But Satan's
promises are nothing but delusion.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:41
			Such people will have held for
their home and will find no escape
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:45
			from it. But we shall admit those
who believe and do good deeds into
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			gardens grace with flowing
streams, there to remain forever,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:54
			a true promise from God who speaks
more truly than God. It will not
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			be according to your hopes or
those of the people of the book.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:01
			Anyone who does wrong will be
required for it. And we'll find no
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:06
			one to protect or help him against
God. Anyone, male or female who
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:10
			does good deeds and is a believer
will enter paradise and will not
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			be wronged by as much as a dip in
a date stone.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			Who could be better in religion
than those who direct themselves
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:22
			wholly to God, do good and follow
the religion of Abraham, who was
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:28
			true in faith. God took Abraham as
a friend. It is to God that
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			everything in the heavens and
earth belongs God is fully aware
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:35
			of all things. They ask you
prophet for a ruling about women.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:41
			Say God Himself gives you a ruling
about them. You already have what
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			has been recited to you in the
Scripture about orphan girls in
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			your charge,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			from whom you withhold the
prescribed shares of their
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
			inheritance, and whom you wish to
marry, and also about helpless
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:58
			children. God instructs you to
treat orphans fairly. He's well
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:03
			aware of whatever good you do. If
a wife fears high handedness or
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			alienation from her husband,
neither of them will be blamed if
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11
			they come to a peaceful settlement
for peace is best. Although human
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			souls are prone to selfishness, if
you do good and are mindful to
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:20
			God, he is well aware of all that
you do. You will never be able to
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			treat your wives with equal
fairness however much you may
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:28
			desire to do so. But do not ignore
one wife altogether, leaving her
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			suspended between marriage and
divorce. If you make amends and
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:36
			remain conscious of God, he is
most forgiving and merciful. But
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			if husband and wife do separate,
God will provide for each out of
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			his plenty.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:46
			He is infinite in plenty and all
wise, everything in the heavens
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:50
			and the earth belongs to God. We
have commanded those who are given
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			the Scripture before you and we
commend you to be mindful of God.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			Even if you do ignore him.
Everything in the heavens and
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			earth belongs to him. And he is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			self-sufficient Worthy of all
praise. Yes, indeed, everything in
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			the heavens and the earth belongs
to God, and He is enough for those
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			who trust in him. If he's so
willed, He could remove you
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:16
			altogether and replace you with
new people. He has full power to
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:21
			do so. If some want the rewards of
this world, the rewards of this
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:25
			world and the next are both gods
to give. He hears and sees
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:25
			everything.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:31
			You who believe, uphold justice
and bear witness to God, even if
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			it is against yourselves, your
parents or your close relatives.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			Whether the person is rich or
poor, God can best take care of
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:44
			both. Refrain from following your
own desire, so that you can act
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:49
			justly if you distort or neglect
justice. God is fully aware of
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:54
			what you do You who believe
believe in God and His Messenger,
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58
			and in the Scripture he has sent
down to his messenger as well as
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			what he sent down before. Anyone
who does not believe in God, His
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:06
			angels, His scriptures, His
messengers, and the Last Day has
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			gone far, far astray.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:13
			As for those who believe, then
reject the faith, then believe
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			again, then reject the faith again
and become increasingly defiant.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:21
			God will not forgive them, nor
will He guide them on any path.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:26
			prophet tells such hypocrites that
an agonizing torment awaits them.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			Do those who allied themselves
with the disbelievers rather than
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:36
			the believers seek power through
them. In reality, all power is
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			God's to give as he has already
revealed to you believers in the
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			Scripture. If you hear people
denying and ridiculing God's
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			revelation, do not sit with them
unless they start to talk of other
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:51
			things, or else you yourselves
will become like them.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			God will gather all the hypocrites
and disbelievers together into
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:01
			*. The hypocrites wait to see
what happens to you. And if God
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			brings you success, they say, Were
we not on your side? But if the
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:09
			disbelievers have some success,
they say to them, did we not have
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:13
			the upper hand over you and yet
protect you from the believers?
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:17
			God will judge between you all on
the Day of Resurrection, and he
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			will give the disbelievers no
means of overcoming the
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			disbelievers.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			The hypocrites tried to deceive
God, but it is he who causes them
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:32
			to be deceived. When they stand up
to pray, they do so sluggishly
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36
			showing off in front of people.
And remember God only a little
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			wavering all the time between this
and that belonging neither to one
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:45
			side nor the other. If God leaves
someone to stray, you prophet will
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:50
			never find a way for him. You who
believe do not take the
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			disbelievers as allies and
protectors instead of the
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:58
			believers. Do you want to offer
God clear proof against you? The
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:02
			hypocrites will be in the lowest
depths of *, and you will find
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:07
			no one to help them. Not so those
who repent mend their ways, hold
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:12
			fast to God and devote their
religion entirely to him. These
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			will be joined with the believers
and God will give the believers a
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			mighty reward Why should God make
you suffer torment if you are
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:26
			thankful and believe in Him God
always rewards gratitude and he
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:31
			knows everything this ends Joe's
