Kids Qur'an
Had it been Our will, We would have exalted him through thoserevelations; but he clung to this earthly life and followed hisown desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you chase him helolls out his tongue and if you leave him alone he still lollsout his tongue. Such are those who deny Our revelations, tellthem these parables, so that they might think over their behaviorto Our revelations.
Therefore, call them to the true Deen, stay firm on the Right Wayas you are commanded and do not follow their vain desires. Tellthem: "I believe in whatever Allah has revealed from the Book andI am commanded to do justice between you. Allah is Our Rabb andyour Rabb. We are responsible for Our deeds and you for yours.Let there be no dispute among us. Allah will bring us alltogether on the Day of Judgement and decide as to who is rightand who is wrong. Towards Him lies the goal.
On that Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to thetrue believers: "Wait for us, that we may borrow some of yourlight." But they will be told: "Go away! Seek your lightelsewhere." So a wall with a gate shall be set up between them.Inside there shall be mercy, and outside all along there shall bepunishment of hell.
They will call out the believers, saying: "Were we not on yourside?" "Yes," they will reply, "but you led yourselves intotemptation, you wavered, you doubted, and were deceived by yourvain desires until Allah's command came, while the arch-deceiver(shaitan) deceived you concerning Allah till the last moment."
They will be told, "Today no ransom shall be accepted from you,or from the unbelievers. Your abode is the fire: which you havejustly earned, and it is an evil refuge."
To you, O Muhammad, We have revealed this Book with the truth. Itconfirms whatever has remained intact in the scriptures whichcame before it and also to safeguard it. Therefore, judge betweenpeople according to Allah's revelations and do not yield to theirvain desires diverging from the truth which has come to you. Wehave ordained a law and a Way of life for each of you. If Allahwanted He could have made all of you a single nation. But Hewilled otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you;therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately youall shall return to Allah; then He will show you the truth ofthose matters in which you dispute.
So, O Muhammad, pronounce judgement among them according to thelaw which Allah has revealed and do not follow their vaindesires, and beware of them lest they tempt you away from a partof that which Allah has revealed to you. If they reject yourjudgement, then know that it is Allah's wish to scourge them forsome of their sins. In fact most of the people are transgressors.
Tell them: "O people of the Book! Do not transgress the bounds oftruth in your religion, and do not yield to the fancies of thosepeople who went astray before you, They misled many others andhave themselves strayed away from The Right Way.
Have you considered the case of such an individual who has madehis own desires as his god, and Allah having knowledge let him goastray, and sealed his hearing and heart and drew a veil over hissight? Who is there to guide him after Allah has withdrawn Hisguidance? Will you not learn a lesson?
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.
When you see those who are engaged in arguments about Ourrevelations, turn away from them until they change their topic ofdiscussion. If Shaitan ever makes you forget this commandment,then as soon as you realize, withdraw from the company ofwrongdoers.
Indeed successful are those believers
who are humble in their Salah (prayers),
who avoid vain talk,
who are punctual in the payment of Zakah (charity),
who guard their private parts
except with their spouses or those who are legally in theirpossession, for in that case they shall not be blamed
- however those who seek to go beyond that in lust are the oneswho shall be the transgressors
- who are true to their trust and covenants,
and who are diligent about their Salah (prayers).
These are the heirs
who will inherit paradise; and live therein forever.
When they hear vain talk, they withdraw from it saying: "Ourdeeds are for us and yours for you; peace be on to you: we do notdesire the way of ignorant."
we used to join those who wasted their time in vain talk,
Serve Allah and do not commit shirk (associate any partner) withHim, and be good to your parents, kinfolks, orphans, thehelpless, near and far neighbors who keep company with you, thetravellers in need, and the slaves you own. Allah does not lovethose who are arrogant and boastful,
It is Allah Who has made for you mates from your own species andHe is the One Who gives you sons and grandsons through thosewives, and provides for you good things to eat: will they then,after knowing all that, believe that falsehood and disbelieveAllah's favors?
Tell them: "Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you -for He knows all that is in the heavens and the earth - those whobelieve in falsehood and disbelieve Allah, it is they who shallbe the losers."
Do they not see that We have made for them a secure sanctuary inthe Ka'bah, while the people are being snatched away from allaround them? Do they still believe in falsehood and deny theblessings of Allah?
O Prophet, We have sent many Rasools before you; of them thereare some whose stories We have relayed to you and others whosestories We have not relayed to you. It was not possible for anyof those Rasools to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah.Then when the command of Allah came, the matter was decided withjustice, and it was the wrongdoers who suffered the loss.
Those are the ones who do not bear witness to falsehood and, ifthey ever pass by futility, pass with dignity.
Do not misappropriate one another's property unjustly, nor bribethe judges, in order to misappropriate a part of other people'sproperty, sinfully and knowingly.
O believers! Do not consume one another's wealth through unlawfulmeans; instead, do business with mutual consent; do not killyourselves by adopting unlawful means. Indeed Allah is Mercifulto you.
Anyone who commits such acts of aggression and injustice willsoon be thrown into hellfire, and this is very easy for Allah todo.
In the Earth He has created things of different colors: surelythere is a sign in this for those who want to learn a lesson.
Also forbidden for you are married women, except those who havefallen in your hands as prisoners of war. This is the order ofAllah relating to marriage prohibitions. All women other thanthese are lawful provided you seek them in marriage with giftsfrom your property (dowry), desiring chastity and not lust. Givethem their dowry as an obligation for the benefit you havereceived from your marriage relationship. However, there is noblame on you if you change the agreement of dowry with mutualconsent. Allah is the Knowledgeable, Wise.
Likewise enjoin the believing women to lower their gaze and guardtheir modesty; not to display their beauty and ornaments exceptwhat normally appears thereof; let them draw their veils overtheir bosoms and not display their charms except to theirhusbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their own sons,their stepsons, their own brothers, their nephews on eitherbrothers' or sisters' sides, their own womenfolk, their ownslaves, male attendants who lack sexual desires or small childrenwho have no carnal knowledge of women. Also enjoin them not tostrike their feet in order to draw attention to their hiddentrinkets. And O believers! Turn to Allah in repentance, all ofyou, about your past mistakes, so that you may attain salvation.
Furthermore, not to go near the property of an orphan except inthe best way (to improve it). Until he attains maturity, givefull measure and just weight - We never charge a soul with morethan it can bear. Whenever you speak, be just, even if it affectsyour own relatives, and fulfill your covenant with Allah. Theseare the things which He has enjoined on you so that you may bemindful.
Whenever they hear news of peace or of danger, they spread itquickly; but if they would report it to the Rasool and to theresponsible people in the community, it would come to theknowledge of those who could draw the right conclusions. If ithad not been for Allah's grace and mercy, all of you with theexception of a few, would have followed Shaitan.

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.
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,
and that Allah may purge the believers and annihilate theunbelievers.
Do you think that you will enter paradise without going throughthe trial? Allah has not yet tested you to see who among youstrive hard for His cause and who show patience for His sake.
O believers! Should I tell you of a bargain that will save youfrom a painful punishment?
It is to believe in Allah and His Rasool and strive your utmostin the cause of Allah with your wealth and your persons. That isbest for you, if you but knew it.
He will forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens beneathwhich rivers flow, and will lodge you in beautiful mansions inthe gardens of Eden, which will be a supreme achievement.

Tell them how We brought to you a group of jinns, who when theyreached the place where you were reciting and listened to theQur'an, said to each other: "Be silent." When the recitation wasover, they returned to their people as warners.
They said "O our people! We have just listened to a Book that hasbeen revealed after Musa which is confirming that what camebefore it, and it guides to the truth and to the Right Way.
O our people, answer the one who is calling you towards Allah andbelieve in him! Allah will forgive you your sins and save youfrom a painful punishment.
He that does not answer the one who is calling towards Allah,shall neither escape in the earth, nor shall have any to protectfrom Him. Surely such people are in manifest error."

When Our revelations are recited to them with all their clarity,you can notice a denial on the faces of the unbelievers. They canbarely restrain themselves from assaulting those who recite Ourrevelations. Say to them: "Shall I tell you something which isfar worse than that? It is the fire of hell, which Allah haspromised to those who reject the truth; what an evil abode itwill be!"
Neither yield to any mean oath-monger,
mischief making slanderer,
opponent of good, transgressor,
wicked oppressor, and above all, ignoble by birth,
though he be possessing wealth and children.
When Our revelations are recited to him , he says: "They arenothing but the tales of the ancient."
Soon We shall brand him on the snout.
O believers! If you marry believing women and divorce them beforethe marriage is consummated, you are not required to observe theIddat (waiting period) which you should count for them, so givethem some present and relieve them gracefully.
Today all good clean things have been made lawful for you; andthe food of the People of the Book is also made lawful for youand your food is made lawful for them. Likewise, marriage withchaste free believing women and also chaste women among thePeople who were given the Book before you is made lawful for you,provided that you give them their dowries and desire chastity,neither committing fornication nor taking them as mistresses.Anyone who commits Kufr with Iman (rejects faith), all his gooddeeds will be in vain and in the Hereafter he will be one of thelosers.
