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