O believers! When you deal with each other in lending for a fixedperiod of time, put it in writing. Let a scribe write it downwith justice between the parties. The scribe, who is given thegift of literacy by Allah, should not refuse to write; he isunder obligation to write. Let him who incurs the liability(debtor) dictate, fearing Allah his Rabb and not diminishinganything from the settlement. If the borrower is mentally unsoundor weak or is unable to dictate himself, let the guardian of hisinterests dictate for him with justice. Let two witnesses fromamong you bear witness to all such documents, if two men cannotbe found, then one man and two women of your choice should bearwitness, so that if one of the women forgets anything the othermay remind her. The witnesses must not refuse when they arecalled upon to do so. You must not be averse to writing (yourcontract) for a future period, whether it is a small matter orbig. This action is more just for you in the sight of Allah,because it facilitates the establishment of evidence and is thebest way to remove all doubts; but if it is a common commercialtransaction concluded on the spot among yourselves, there is noblame on you if you do not put it in writing. You should havewitnesses when you make commercial transactions. Let no harm bedone to the scribe or witnesses; and if you do so, you shall beguilty of transgression. Fear Allah; it is Allah that teaches youand Allah has knowledge of everything.
Observe the orphans through testing their abilities until theyreach the age of marriage, then if you find them capable of soundjudgment, hand over to them their property; and do not consume itwastefully in haste lest they grow up to demand it. If theguardian is well-off, he should not take compensation from theorphan's property, but if he is poor let him take a just andreasonable remuneration. When you hand over their property tothem, call in some witnesses; even though Allah is sufficient intaking the accountability.

Men are overseers over women because Allah has given the one morestrength than other, and because men are required to spend theirwealth for the maintenance of women. Honorable women are,therefore, devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absencewhat Allah require them to guard their husband's property andtheir own honor. As to those women from whom you feardisobedience, first admonish them, then refuse to share your bedwith them, and then, if necessary, beat them. Then if they obeyyou, take no further actions against them and do not make excusesto punish them. Allah is Supremely Great and is aware of youractions.
Guard yourselves against the day on which one soul shall notavail another, no intercession shall be accepted, no ransom shallbe taken and no help shall be given.

Fear the Day when you shall all return to Allah; when every oneshall be paid in full what they have earned and none shall bedealt with unjustly.

He said: "Are you giving me the good news of a son when I havebecome old? What kind of good news you are giving?"
They replied: "We are giving you true good news; you should notbe of those who despair."
He said: "Who would despair of the mercy of his Rabb except onewho goes astray?"
Then he asked: "On what expedition you have been sent, Oemissaries of Allah?"

saying: "This is what you prepared and sent forth with your ownhands." Rest assured that Allah is not unjust to His worshippers.
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to your benefit all thatis in the heavens and in the earth, and has lavished on you Hisevident and hidden favors? Yet there are some people who stillargue about Allah without knowledge, without guidance or anenlightening Book.
O Muhammad, those were the people who were rightly guided byAllah, therefore, follow their guidance and tell these people: "Iam not asking you any compensation for this work of deliveringthe Message to you, this message is nothing but a reminder to allthe worlds."

Whereas in fact, neither did theykill him nor did they crucify him but they thought they didbecause the matter was made dubious for them. Those who differtherein are only in doubt. They have no real knowledge, theyfollow nothing but merely a conjecture, certainly they did notkill him (Jesus).
O people of the Book (Jews and Christians)! Now Our Rasool hascome to you to reveal much of what you have concealed from theHoly Books and to pass over much which is no longer necessary.There has come to you from Allah a new Light and a clear Book,

Allah has revealed the most beautiful message, a Book consistentin its verses yet repeating its teachings in different ways.Those who fear their Rabb are filled with awe when they hear it,their skins and their hearts become pliant to the remembrance ofAllah. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides with it whom Hepleases. But he to whom He confounds shall have none to guidehim.

How could you tell? He might have sought to purify himself
or become reminded and might have benefited from Our reminder.

to whom you were attending;

Yet to him who came to you with zeal on his own
and with fear of Allah in his heart,
you gave no heed.
