O Muhammad, remember that morning when you left your household atan early hour to assign the believers to their battle-posts (inthe battle of Uhud): Allah hears and knows everything.
Remember when two of your companies became fainthearted and Allahprotected them through strengthening their hearts. In Allahshould the believers put their trust.
O Muhammad, remember that morning when you left your household atan early hour to assign the believers to their battle-posts (inthe battle of Uhud): Allah hears and knows everything.
If you have suffered a wound, so did the enemy. We alternatethese days of varying fortunes among mankind so that Allah mayknow the true believers and take witnesses to the truth (grantmartyrdom) from among you, for Allah does not love the unjustpeople,
We have made you a moderate Ummah (nation) so that you maytestify against mankind and that your own Rasool may testifyagainst you. We decreed your former Qiblah only to distinguishthose who are the real followers of the Rasool from those whowould back away from the faith. It was indeed a hard test exceptfor those whom Allah has guided. Allah wants not to make yourfaith fruitless. Allah is Compassionate and Merciful to mankind.
Establish Salah (prayers); give Zakah (charity); and bow downwith those who bow down in worship.
Complete the Hajj (obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah) and the Umrah(optional visit to Makkah) for the sake of Allah. If you areprevented from proceeding then send such offering for sacrificeas you can afford and do not shave your head until the offeringshave reached their destination. But if any of you is ill or hasan ailment in his scalp which necessitates shaving, he must payransom either by fasting or feeding the poor or offering asacrifice. If in peacetime anyone wants to take the advantage ofperforming Umrah and Hajj together, he should make an offeringwhich he can afford; but if he lack the means, let him fast threedays during the Hajj and seven days on his return making ten daysin all. This order is for the one whose household is not in theprecincts of the Sacred Mosque. Fear Allah and know that Allah isstrict in retribution.

Remember how the unbelievers plotted against you. They sought totake you captive or kill you or exile you. They planned - andAllah also planned - Allah is the best planner of all.
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them they say: "Well, wehave heard this. If we wanted we could fabricate the like. Theseare nothing but the tales of the ancients."
Also remember how they said: "O Allah! If this is indeed thetruth from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky orinflict some dreadful scourge to punish us."
Their prayer at the House of Allah is nothing but whistling andclapping of hands: whose only answer can be, "Taste thepunishment because of your denying the truth."
Surely the unbelievers spend their wealth in blocking the way ofAllah and so will they continue to spend; but in the end thesevery efforts will become the cause of their regrets; at lengththey will be defeated, and in the hereafter these unbelieverswill be gathered together and driven to hell,
O Prophet, tell the unbelievers that if they desist from unbelieftheir past shall be forgiven; but if they persist in sin, letthem reflect upon the fate of their forefathers.
However, if they repent, establish Salah and pay Zakah, then theyshall be your brethren in Deen (faith and way of life based onDivine guidance): thus do We spell out Our revelations for peopleof understanding.
Those who make treaties with you and time after time violatetheir treaties, and have no fear of Allah.
Muster against them all the military strength and cavalry thatyou can afford so that you may strike terror into the hearts ofthe enemy of Allah and of your, and others besides them who areunknown to you but known to Allah. Remember that whatever youwill spend in the cause of Allah, shall be paid back to you infull and you shall not be treated unjustly.
The unbelievers are protectors of one of another. If you fail todo likewise, there will be disorder in the land and greatcorruption.
O Prophet! Make Jihad against the unbelievers and the hypocritesand be firm against them. Hell shall be their home; and it is theworst of all homes.
They are the ones who love the life of this world more than thehereafter, who debar others from the Way of Allah and seek tomake it crooked: they have gone far astray into error.
The Day will come when the unbelievers will wish that they wereMuslims.
Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say:"Where are those deities you associated with Me concerning whomyou used to dispute with the true believers?" Those who have beengiven knowledge will say: "Today there will be shame and sorrowfor the unbelievers,"
We send the Rasools only to proclaim good news and to give warnings but with false arguments the unbelievers seek to defeat the Truth, through mocking at My revelations and My warnings.
Do the unbelievers think that they can take my servants as protectors, to save themselves from Hell, instead of Me? Certainly We have prepared Hell for the entertainment of such unbelievers.
When Our Clear Revelations are recited to them the unbelieverssay to the believer: "Which one, of the two of us, have finedwelling and better companions?"
behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil, whereas theplotting of evil recoils none but the authors of it. Are theyawaiting for that end which overtook the former nations? If so,you shall find no change in the ways of Allah, nor will you findany alteration in Allah's way of dealing.
The disbelievers say: "We shall never believe in this Qur'an, norin the scriptures which came before it." If you could only seewhen these wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Rabb,tossing accusing words on one another! Those who had beendespised as weaklings will say to the arrogant: "If it were notfor you, we would certainly have been believers."
And by the Qur'an which is full of admonition! Surely theunbelievers are in sheer arrogance and perverseness.
None dispute the revelations of Allah but those who disbelieve;so let not their affluent activity in the land deceive you.
We have brought you the truth, but most of you hate the truth.
Even if the unbelievers had fought with you, they would have beenput to flight, and would have not found any protector or helper.
They are the ones who disbelieved and obstructed you from theMasjid-al-Haram (Sacred Mosque - Ka'bah) and prevented yourofferings from reaching their destination. Had there not beenbelieving men and believing women in the city of Makkah, whom youdid not know, and their possibility of being trampled under yourfeet and thus incurred unwitting guilt on their account. Allahwould have allowed you to fight, but He held back your hands, sothat He may admit to His mercy whom He will. Had the believersstood apart from them, We would certainly have punished thedisbelievers among them with painful punishment.
Were they created without a Creator? Or were they their owncreators?
O believers! Do not make friendship with those who are enemies ofMine and yours. Would you show them friendship, when they havedenied the truth that has come to you and have driven the Rasooland yourselves out of your homes, simply because you believe inAllah, your Rabb? If it was indeed to strive in My way, and toseek My good pleasure that you left your homes, how can youbefriend in secret? I know all that you conceal, and all that youreveal. Any of you who does this, he indeed has gone astray fromthe Right Way.
What is the matter with the disbelievers that they are rushingtowards you,
So O Prophet, have patience: surely the promise of Allah is true;and do not let those, who themselves have no certainty of faith,shake your firmness.
They also say: "Why is this Qur'an not revealed to a man of greatimportance in the two towns (Makkah and Ta'if)"?
Is it they who distribute the blessings of your Rabb? It is WeWho distribute the means of their livelihood in the life of thisworld, raising some in rank above others, so that one may takeothers into his service. But the blessing of your Rabb is fargreater in value than the wealth of this world which they amass.
They have not recognized the worth of Allah as his worth shouldbe recognized. On the Day of Resurrection the whole earth shallbe in His grasp and all the heavens shall be rolled up in Hisright hand. Glory be to Him! Exalted be He above what theyassociate with Him.
- it is He Who has placed you in the earth and before Him youshall all be assembled on the Day of Judgement.
It is He Who gives life and cause you to die, and in His controlis the alternation of the night and the day: then why don't youunderstand?
On the contrary they just say what their forefathers said beforethem,
who said: "What! After death when our bodies become dust andbones, could we really be raised to life again?
We have heard many such threats and so did our forefathers beforeus. These are nothing but legends of primitive people."
Say: "To whom belong the earth and everything therein? Tell me ifyou know?"
They will promptly reply: "to Allah!" Ask them: "Then why youdon't use your common sense and believe in Him?"
Say: "Who is the Rabb of the seven heavens and the Rabb of theGlorious Throne?"
Right away they will say: "Allah." Ask them: "Then why you don'tfear Him?"
Say: "In whose hands is the sovereignty of all things, protectingall, while against Him there is no protection? Tell me if youknow."
Quickly they will reply: "Allah." Ask them: "Then how you can beso bewitched?"
The fact of the matter is that We have brought them the Truth,and undoubtedly these people are liars.
Will they not ponder upon the Qur'an? Are there locks upon theirhearts?
Do not entrust your property which Allah has made a means ofsupport for your family, to feebleminded people for investment inbusiness, however, provide such people with food and clothing andspeak to them nicely and give them good advice.
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.
Those people have not valued the attributes of Allah, the way Hisattributes should be valued, who say: "Allah has never revealedanything to a human being." Ask them: "Who then sent down theBook (Torah) which Musa brought, a light and guidance formankind? You have transcribed it on separate sheets, publishingsome and suppressing much of that given knowledge, which neitheryou nor your forefathers previously possessed." If they do notanswer, then just say: "Allah" and leave them alone with thediscourse of their useless arguments.
They do not render to Allah the homage due to Him; in fact, Allahis the One Who is All-Powerful, All-Mighty.
Are these unbelievers waiting for the angels to come down to taketheir lives or the commandment of your Rabb to come to pass fortheir doom? So did those who went before them. It was not Allahwho was unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves.
At the end, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, andthe very scourge at which they mocked, hemmed them in.
All together hold fast the rope of Allah (Faith of Islam) and benot divided among yourselves. Remember Allah's favors upon youwhen you were enemies; He united your hearts, so by His favor youbecame brethren; you were at the brink of the fiery pit and Hesaved you from it. Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to you,so that you may be rightly guided.
Have not the unbelievers ever considered that the skies and theearth were once one mass, then We split them asunder? And We havecreated every living thing from water. Will they still notbelieve?
Then they should accomplish their needful acts of shaving orcutting their hair and taking a bath, fulfill their vows and gofor Tawaf-e-Ziyarah to the Ancient House.
If you avoid the heinous sins which you have been forbidden, Wewill do away with your small sins and cause you to enter a placeof great honor (paradise).
O believers! Fulfil your contract obligations. Allfour-legged animals from livestock are lawful to you other thanthose which are hereby announced. However do not violate theprohibition of hunting while you are in Ihram (Hajj dress).Indeed Allah orders whatever He pleases.

O believers! Do not violate the sanctity of the Symbols of Allah:the Sacred Month , the animals brought for sacrifice, thegarlands that mark such animals, and those people visiting theSacred House (Ka'bah) to seek the grace and good pleasure oftheir Rabb. When you put off your Ihram (pilgrimage is over) thenyou are allowed to hunt. Let not the hatred of some people - whoonce hindered you from the Sacred Mosque - incite you to committransgression. Cooperate with one another in righteousness andpiety, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. Have fearof Allah. Allah is stern in punishment.
That usury which you give to increase the wealth of people, doesnot increase with Allah: but the Zakah that you give to seek thepleasure of Allah, shall be repaid to you many times over.
Have they made shoraka' (partners with Allah) who, in thepractice of their faith, have made lawful to them what Allah hasnot allowed? Had a decision of making the decision on the Day ofJudgement not been issued already, the matter would havecertainly been decided between them; surely the wrongdoers willhave a painful punishment.

Even so, if anyone is forced in ahelpless situation, intending neither disobedience nortransgression, you will find your Rabb Forgiving, Merciful.
He has only forbidden you to eat carrion (meat of dead a body),blood, pork, and that over which any name other than Allah hasbeen invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, intendingneither to break the Divine Law nor to transgress limits, thensurely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Why should you not eat that on which Allah's name has beenpronounced, when He has clearly spelled out for you in detailwhat is forbidden - except in a case of extreme helplessness? Infact, many do mislead people by their appetites unchecked byknowledge. Your Rabb knows best those who transgress.
Eschew all sin whether open or secret: surely those who earn sinwill get due punishment for their wrongdoings.

And let those who do not find means to marry keep themselveschaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. As for thoseof your slaves who wish to buy out their liberty, execute thedeed of liberty with them if you find them deserving, and givethem some of the wealth which Allah has given you. Do not forceyour slave-girls into prostitution for your own worldly gains, ifthey wish to preserve their chastity; and if anyone forces theminto it, then surely after such a compulsion Allah will beforgiving and merciful to them.
O believers, if an evildoer comes to you with some news, verifyit (investigate to ascertain the truth), lest you should harmothers unwittingly and then regret what you have done.
You should seek forgiveness of your Rabb and turn to Him inrepentance; He will grant you good provisions till an appointedterm, and bestow His grace on everyone who has merit! But if youturn away (pay no heed), I fear for you the punishment of a GreatDay.
Further tell them: "I have no power to acquire benefit or avertany harm from myself, only that happens which Allah wants. Had Ipossessed the knowledge of the unseen I would have acquired manybenefits to myself; and no harm would have touched me. I am nomore than a Warner and bearer of good news for the truebelievers."
Say: No one in the heavens or in the earth has the knowledge ofthe unseen except Allah and their gods do not know when theyshall be raised to life again.
