سورة النساء
1. O
mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person,
created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (Like seeds)
countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual
(rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches
over you.
2. To
orphans restore their property (When They reach their age), nor substitute
(your) worthless things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance
(by mixing it up) with your own. for This is indeed a great sin.
3. If ye
fear that ye shall not be able to Deal justly with the orphans, marry women of
your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to
Deal justly (with them), then only one, or (A captive) that your right hands
possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
4. And give
the women (on marriage) their dower As a free gift; but if they, of their own
good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it and enjoy it with right
good cheer.
5. To those
weak of understanding make not over your property, which Allah hath made a
means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them
words of kindness and justice.
6. Make
trial of orphans until They reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound
Judgment In them, release their property to them; but consume it not
wastefully, nor In haste against their growing up. if the guardian is well-off,
let Him claim no remuneration, but if He is poor, let Him have for Himself what
is just and reasonable. when ye release their property to them, take witnesses
In their presence: but all-sufficient is Allah In taking account.
Page No. 78 (AYAHAT 7 through 11 of Surat Al-NISA):
7. From
what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and
a share for women, whether the property be small or large,-a determinate share.
8. But if
at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed
them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
9. Let
those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear In their minds As They would
have for their own if They had left a helpless family behind: let them fear
Allah, and speak words of appropriate (comfort).
10. Those
who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own
bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!
11. Allah
(thus) directs you As regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a
portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their
share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, Her share is a half. for
parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left
children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has
a third; if the deceased left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth.
(the distribution In all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. ye
know not whether your parents or your Children are nearest to you In benefit.
these are settled portions ordained by Allah. and Allah is All-knowing,
All-wise.
Page No. 79 (AYAHAT 12 through 14 of Surat Al-NISA):
12. In what
your wives leave, your share is a half, if They leave no child; but if They
leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye
leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child,
They get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. if the man or woman
whose inheritance is In question, has left neither ascendants nor descendants,
but has left a brother or a sister, Each one of the two gets a sixth; but if
more than two, They share In a third; after payment of legacies and debts; so that
no loss is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by Allah. and Allah is
All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
13. Those
are limits set by Allah. those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be
admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever)
and that will be the Supreme achievement.
14. But
those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be
admitted to a fire, to abide therein: and They shall have a humiliating
punishment.
Page No. 80 (AYAHAT 15 through 19 of Surat Al-NISA):
15. If any
of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four (Reliable)
witnesses from amongst you against them; and if They testify, confine them to
houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.
16. If two
men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. if They repent and
amend, leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
17. Allah
Accept the repentance of those who do evil In ignorance and repent soon
afterwards; to them will Allah turn In mercy: for Allah is full of knowledge
and wisdom.
18. Of no
effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces
one of them, and He says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those
who die rejecting faith: for them have we prepared a punishment Most grievous.
19. O ye
who believe! ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. nor should
ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower ye have
given them,-except where They have been guilty of open lewdness; on the
contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. if ye take a
dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about
through it a great Deal of good.
Page No. 81 (AYAHAT 20 through 23 of Surat Al-NISA):
20. But if
ye decide to take one wife In place of another, Even if ye had given the latter
a whole treasure for dower, take not the least bit of it back: would ye take it
by slander and Manifest wrong?
21. And How
could ye take it when ye have gone In unto Each other, and They have taken from
you a solemn covenant?
22. And
marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: it was
shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.
23.
Prohibited to you (for marriage) are:- your mothers, daughters, sisters;
father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters;
foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your
step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone
in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of
your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters In wedlock at one and the
same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;-
Page No. 82 (AYAHAT 24 through 26 of Surat Al-NISA):
24. Also
(prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands
possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: except for these,
all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them In marriage) with gifts from your
property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from
them, give them their dowers (at least) As prescribed; but if, after a dower is
prescribed, agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is
All-knowing, All-wise.
25. If any
of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, They may wed
believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: and Allah hath
full knowledge about your Faith. ye are one from another: wed them with the
leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is
reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when They
are taken In wedlock, if They fall into shame, their punishment is half that
for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it
is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. and Allah is Oft-forgiving,
Most Merciful.
26. Allah
doth wish to make Clear to you and to Show you the ordinances of those before
you; and (He doth wish to) turn to you (in Mercy): and Allah is All-knowing,
All-wise.
Page No. 83 (AYAHAT 27 through 33 of Surat Al-NISA):
27. Allah
doth wish to turn to you, but the wish of those who follow their lusts is that
ye should turn away (from Him),- far, far away.
28. Allah
doth wish to lighten your (difficulties): for man was created weak (in flesh).
29. O ye
who believe! eat not up your property among yourselves In vanities: but let
there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good-will: nor kill (or
destroy) yourselves: for Verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!
30. If any
do that In rancour and injustice,- soon shall we cast them into the Fire: and
easy it is for Allah.
31. If ye
(but) eschew the Most heinous of the things which ye are forbidden to do, we
shall expel out of you all the evil In you, and admit you to a gate of great
honour.
32. And In
no wise covet those things In which Allah hath bestowed His gifts more freely
on some of you than on others: to men is allotted what They earn, and to women
what They earn: but ask Allah of His bounty. for Allah hath full knowledge of
all things.
33. To
(benefit) every one, we have appointed shares and heirs to property left by
parents and relatives. to those, also, to whom your right hand was pledged,
give their due portion. for truly Allah is witness to all things.
Page No. 84 (AYAHAT 34 through 37 of Surat Al-NISA):
34. Men are
the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more
(strength) than the other, and because They support them from their means.
Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard In (the
husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose
part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse
to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if They return to
obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance): for Allah is Most High,
great (above you all).
35. If ye
fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from His family,
and the other from hers; if They wish for Peace, Allah will cause their
reconciliation: for Allah hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all
things.
36. Serve
Allah, and join not any partners with him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk,
orphans, those In need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers,
the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands
possess: for Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-
37. (Nor)
those who are niggardly or enjoin niggardliness on others, or hide the bounties
which Allah hath bestowed on them; for we have prepared, for those who resist
Faith, a punishment that steeps them In contempt;-
Page No. 85 (AYAHAT 38 through 44 of Surat Al-NISA):
38. Not
those who spend of their substance, to be seen of men, but have no Faith In
Allah and the Last Day: if any take the evil one for their intimate, what a
dreadful intimate He is!
39. And
what burden were it on them if They had Faith In Allah and In the Last Day, and
They spent out of what Allah hath given them for sustenance? for Allah hath
full knowledge of them.
40. Allah
is never unjust In the least degree: if there is any good (done), He doubleth
it, and giveth from His own presence a great reward.
41. How
then if we brought from Each people a witness, and we brought Thee As a witness
against these people!
42. On that
Day those who reject Faith and disobey the apostle will wish that the earth were
made one with them: but never will They hide a single fact from Allah.
43. O ye
who believe! approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand
all that ye say,- nor In a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling
on the road), until after washing your whole body. if ye are ill, or on a
journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been In
contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand
or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. for Allah doth Blot out sins
and forgive again and again.
44. Hast
Thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? They
traffic In error, and wish that ye should lose the right path.
Page No. 86 (AYAHAT 45 through 51 of Surat Al-NISA):
45. But
Allah hath full knowledge of your enemies: Allah is Enough for a protector, and
Allah is Enough for a helper.
46. Of the
Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places, and say:
"We Hear and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not Heard"; and
"Ra'ina"; with a twist of their tongues and a slander to Faith. if
only They had said: "What Hear and we obey"; and "Do hear";
and "Do look at us"; it would have been better for them, and more
proper; but Allah hath cursed them for their Unbelief; and but few of them will
believe.
47. O ye
people of the Book! believe In what we have (now) revealed, confirming what was
(already) with you, before we change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond
all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them As we cursed the
Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah must be carried out.
48. Allah
forgiveth not that partners should be set up with him; but He forgiveth
anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise
a sin Most heinous indeed.
49. Hast
Thou not turned Thy vision to those who claim sanctity for themselves? Nay-but
Allah doth sanctify whom He pleaseth. but never will They fail to receive
justice In the least Little thing.
50. Behold!
How They invent a lie against Allah. but that by itself is a Manifest sin!
51. Hast
Thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? They
believe In sorcery and evil, and say to the unbelievers that They are better
guided In the (right) way than the believers!
Page No. 87 (AYAHAT 52 through 59 of Surat Al-NISA):
52. They
are (men) whom Allah hath cursed: and those whom Allah hath cursed, Thou wilt
find, have no one to help.
53. Have
They a share In dominion or power? Behold, They give not a farthing to their
fellow-men?
54. Or do
They envy Mankind for what Allah hath given them of His bounty? but we had
already given the people of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and conferred upon
them a great kingdom.
55. Some of
them believed, and some of them averted their faces from him: and Enough is
Hell for a burning Fire.
56. Those
who reject Our Signs, we shall soon cast into the Fire: As often As their skins
are roasted through, we shall change them for fresh skins, that They may taste
the penalty: for Allah is Exalted In power, wise.
57. But
those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, we shall soon admit to
Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal home: therein shall They
have companions pure and holy: we shall admit them to shades, cool and ever
deepening.
58. Allah
doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom They are due; and
when ye judge between man and man, that ye judge with justice: Verily How
excellent is the teaching which He giveth you! for Allah is He who heareth and
seeth all things.
59. O ye
who believe! obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with
authority among you. if ye differ In anything among yourselves, refer it to
Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe In Allah and the Last Day: that is
best, and Most suitable for final determination.
Page No. 88 (AYAHAT 60 through 65 of Surat Al-NISA):
60. Hast
Thou not turned Thy vision to those who declare that They believe In the
revelations that have come to Thee and to those before thee? their (real) wish
is to resort together for Judgment (in their disputes) to the evil one, though
They were ordered to reject Him. but Satan's wish is to lead them astray far
away (from the right).
61. When it
is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed, and to the Messenger.:
Thou seest the Hypocrites avert their faces from Thee In disgust.
62. How
then, when They are seized by misfortune, because of the deeds which They hands
have sent forth? then their come to thee, swearing by Allah. "We meant no
more than good-will and conciliation!"
63. Those
men,-(Allah) knows what is In their hearts; so keep Clear of them, but admonish
them, and speak to them a word to reach their very souls.
64. We sent
not an apostle, but to be obeyed, In accordance with the will of Allah. if They
had only, when They were unjust to themselves, come unto Thee and asked Allah.s
forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, They would have
found Allah indeed Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
65. But no,
by the Lord, They can have no (real) Faith, until They make Thee judge In all
disputes between them, and find In their souls no resistance against Thy
decisions, but Accept them with the fullest conviction.
Page No. 89 (AYAHAT 66 through 74 of Surat Al-NISA):
66. If we
had ordered them to sacrifice their lives or to leave their homes, very few of
them would have done it: but if They had done what They were (actually) told,
it would have been best for them, and would have gone farthest to strengthen
their (faith);
67. And we
should then have given them from Our presence a great reward;
68. And we
should have shown them the straight way.
69. All who
obey Allah and the apostle are In the company of those on whom is the Grace of
Allah,- of the prophets (Who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the
witnesses (Who testify), and the righteous (Who do good): Ah! what a beautiful
fellowship!
70. Such is
the bounty from Allah. and sufficient is it that Allah knoweth all.
71. O ye
who believe! take your precautions, and either go forth In parties or go forth
all Together.
72. There
are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: if a misfortune befalls
you, They say: "(Allah) did favour us In that we were not present among
them."
73. But if
good fortune comes to you from Allah, They would be sure to say - As if there
had never been Ties of affection between you and them - "Oh! I wish I had
been with them; a fine thing should I then have made of it!"
74. Let
those Fight In the cause of Allah who sell the life of This world for the
Hereafter. to Him who fighteth In the cause of Allah,- whether He is slain or
gets victory - soon shall we give Him a reward of great (value).
Page No. 90 (AYAHAT 75 through 79 of Surat Al-NISA):
75. And why
should ye not Fight In the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are
ill-treated (and oppressed)?- men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our
Lord! Rescue us from This town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us
from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will
help!"
76. Those
who believe Fight In the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight In
the cause of Evil: so Fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is
the cunning of Satan.
77. Hast
Thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands
(from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend In regular charity? when
(at length) the order for Fighting was issued to them, Behold! a section of
them feared men As - or Even more than - They should have feared Allah. They
said: "Our Lord! why hast Thou ordered us to fight? wouldst Thou not grant
us respite to Our (natural) term, near (enough)?" say: "Short is the
enjoyment of This world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right:
never will ye be dealt with unjustly In the very least!
78.
"Wherever ye are, death will find you out, Even if ye are In towers built
up strong and high!" if some good befalls them, They say, "This is
from Allah.; but if evil, They say, "This is from thee" (o Prophet).
say: "All things are from Allah." but what hath come to these people,
that They fail to understand a single fact?
79.
Whatever good, (o man!) happens to thee, is from Allah. but whatever evil
happens to thee, is from Thy (own) soul. and we have sent Thee As an apostle to
(instruct) mankind. and Enough is Allah for a witness.
Page No. 91 (AYAHAT 80 through 86 of Surat Al-NISA):
80. He who
obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah. but if any turn away, we have not sent Thee
to watch over their (evil deeds).
81. They
have "Obedience" on their lips; but when They leave thee, a section
of them Meditate all night on things very different from what Thou tellest
them. but Allah records their nightly (plots): so keep Clear of them, and put
Thy trust In Allah, and Enough is Allah As a disposer of affairs.
82. Do They
not consider the Qur'an (with care)? had it been from other than Allah, They
would surely have found therein much discrepancy.
83. When
there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, They divulge
it. if They had only referred it to the Messenger, or to those charged with
authority among them, the proper investigators would have tested it from them
(direct). were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you, all but a few
of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.
84. Then
Fight In Allah.s cause - Thou art held responsible only for Thyself - and rouse
the believers. it may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers;
for Allah is the strongest In might and In punishment.
85. Whoever
recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein: and Whoever
recommends and helps an evil Cause, shares In its burden: and Allah hath power
over all things.
86. When a
(courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more
courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all
things.
Page No. 92 (AYAHAT 87 through 91 of Surat Al-NISA):
87. Allah.
there is no god but He: of a surety He will gather you together against the Day
of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. and whose word can be truer than
Allah.s?
88. Why
should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? Allah hath upset
them for their (evil) deeds. would ye guide those whom Allah hath thrown out of
the Way? for those whom Allah hath thrown out of the way, never shalt Thou find
the way.
89. They
but wish that ye should reject Faith, As They do, and Thus be on the same
footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until They flee In the
way of Allah (from what is forbidden). but if They turn renegades, seize them
and slay them Wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or
helpers from their ranks;-
90. Except
those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or
those who approach you with hearts restraining them from Fighting you As well
As Fighting their own people. if Allah had pleased, He could have given them
power over you, and They would have fought you: Therefore if They withdraw from
you but Fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) Peace, then Allah
hath opened no way for you (to war against them).
91. Others
you will find that wish to gain your confidence As well As that of their
people: every time They are sent back to temptation, They succumb thereto: if
They withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides
restraining their hands, seize them and slay them Wherever ye get them: In
their case we have provided you with a Clear argument against them.
Page No. 93 (AYAHAT 92 through 94 of Surat Al-NISA):
92. Never
should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation
is due): if one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that He should free a
believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless They
remit it freely. if the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and He
was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). if He belonged to
a people with whom ye have treaty of mutual alliance, compensation should be
paid to His family, and a believing slave be freed. for those who find This
beyond their means, (Is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of
repentance to Allah. for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom.
93. If a
man kills a believer intentionally, His recompense is Hell, to abide therein
(for ever): and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful
penalty is prepared for Him.
94. O ye
who believe! when ye go abroad In the cause of Allah, investigate carefully,
and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a
believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of This life: with Allah are
profits and spoils abundant. Even Thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah
conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. for Allah is
well aware of all that ye do.
Page No. 94 (AYAHAT 95 through 101 of Surat Al-NISA):
95. Not
equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who
strive and Fight In the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons.
Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and Fight with their
goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). unto all (in Faith) hath
Allah promised good: but those who strive and Fight hath He distinguished above
those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-
96. Ranks
specially bestowed by him, and forgiveness and mercy. for Allah is
Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
97. When
angels take the souls of those who die In sin against their souls, They say:
"In what (plight) were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed were
we In the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious
Enough for you to move yourselves away (from evil)?" such men will find
their abode In Hell,- what an evil refuge! -
98. Except
those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and Children - who have
no means In their power, nor (A guide-post) to their way.
99. For
these, there is hope that Allah will forgive: for Allah doth Blot out (sins)
and forgive again and again.
100. He who
forsakes His home In the cause of Allah, finds In the earth many a refuge, wide
and spacious: should He die As a refugee from home for Allah and His Messenger,
His reward becomes due and sure with Allah. and Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.
101. When
ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your
prayers, for fear the unbelievers may attack you: for the unbelievers are unto
you open enemies.
Page No. 95 (AYAHAT 102 through 105 of Surat Al-NISA):
102. When
Thou (o Messenger. art with them, and standest to lead them In prayer, let one
party of them stand up (in prayer) with thee, taking their arms with them: when
They finish their prostrations, let them take their position In the rear. and
let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with
thee, taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the unbelievers wish, if ye were
negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you In a single rush. but
there is no blame on you if ye put away your arms because of the inconvenience
of rain or because ye are ill; but take (every) precaution for yourselves. for
the unbelievers Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment.
103. When
ye pass (Congregational) prayers, celebrate Allah.s praises, standing, sitting
down, or lying down on your sides; but when ye are free from danger, set up
regular Prayers: for such prayers are enjoined on believers at stated times.
104. And
slacken not In following up the enemy: if ye are suffering hardships, They are
suffering similar hardships; but ye have hope from Allah, while They have none.
and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
105. We
have sent down to Thee the Book In truth, that Thou mightest judge between men,
As guided by Allah. so be not (used) As an advocate by those who betray their
trust;
Page No. 96 (AYAHAT 106 through 113 of Surat Al-NISA):
106. But
seek the forgiveness of Allah. for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
107.
Contend not on behalf of such As betray their own souls; for Allah loveth not
one given to perfidy and crime:
108. They
may hide (Their crimes) from men, but They cannot hide (them) from Allah,
seeing that He is In their midst when They plot by night, In words that He
cannot approve: and Allah doth compass round all that They do.
109. Ah!
these are the sort of men on whose behalf ye may Contend In This world; but who
will Contend with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Judgment, or who will
carry their affairs through?
110. If any
one does evil or wrongs His own soul but afterwards seeks Allah.s forgiveness,
He will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
111. And if
any one earns sin. He earns it against His own soul: for Allah is full of
knowledge and wisdom.
112. But if
any one earns a fault or a sin and throws it on to one that is innocent, He
carries (on himself) (Both) a falsehood and a flagrant sin.
113. But
for the Grace of Allah to Thee and His Mercy, a party of them would certainly
have plotted to lead Thee astray. but (in fact) They will only lead their own
souls astray, and to Thee They can do no harm In the least. for Allah hath sent
down to Thee the Book and wisdom and taught Thee what Thou Knewest not
(before): and great is the Grace of Allah unto thee.
Page No. 97 (AYAHAT 114 through 121 of Surat Al-NISA):
114. In
Most of their secret talks there is no good: but if one exhorts to a deed of
charity or justice or conciliation between men, (Secrecy is permissible): to
Him who does this, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, we shall soon give a
reward of the highest (value).
115. If
anyone contends with the Messenger Even after guidance has been plainly
conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of Faith,
we shall leave Him In the path He has chosen, and land Him In Hell,- what an
evil refuge!
116. Allah
forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with him; but He forgiveth whom
He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, hath
strayed far, far away (from the right).
117. (the
Pagans), leaving him, call but upon female deities: They call but upon Satan
the persistent rebel!
118. Allah
did curse him, but He said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked
off;
119.
"I will mislead them, and I will create In them false desires; I will
order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created
by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes Satan for a friend, hath of a
surety suffered a loss that is manifest.
120. Satan
makes them promises, and creates In them false desires; but Satan's promises
are nothing but deception.
121. They
(his dupes) will have their dwelling In Hell, and from it They will find no way
of escape.
Page No. 98 (AYAHAT 122 through 127 of Surat Al-NISA):
122. But
those who believe and do deeds of righteousness,- we shall soon admit them to
Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,-to dwell therein for ever. Allah.s
promise is the truth, and whose word can be truer than Allah.s?
123. Not
your desires, nor those of the people of the Book (can prevail): Whoever works
evil, will be requited accordingly. nor will He find, besides Allah, any
Protector or helper.
124. If any
do deeds of righteousness,- be They male or female - and have Faith, They will
enter heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them.
125. Who
can be better In Religion than one who submits His whole self to Allah, does
good, and follows the way of Abraham the true In Faith? for Allah did take
Abraham for a friend.
126. But to
Allah belong all things In the heavens and on earth: and He it is that
Encompasseth all things.
127. They
ask Thy instruction concerning the women say: Allah doth instruct you about
them: and (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you In the Book, concerning
the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed, and yet whom
ye desire to marry, As also concerning the Children who are weak and oppressed:
that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. there is not a good deed which ye
do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.
Page No. 99 (AYAHAT 128 through 134 of Surat Al-NISA):
128. If a
wife fears cruelty or desertion on Her husband's part, there is no blame on
them if They arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such
settlement is best; Even though men's souls are swayed by greed. but if ye do
good and practise self-restraint, Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
129. Ye are
never able to be fair and just As between women, Even if it is your ardent
desire: but turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so As to leave Her (as it
were) hanging (in the air). if ye come to a friendly understanding, and
practise self- restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
130. But if
They disagree (and must part), Allah will provide abundance for all from His
all-reaching bounty: for Allah is He that careth for all and is wise.
131. To
Allah belong all things In the heavens and on earth. Verily we have directed
the people of the Book before you, and you (o Muslims) to fear Allah. but if ye
deny him, Lo! unto Allah belong all things In the heavens and on earth, and
Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
132. Yea,
unto Allah belong all things In the heavens and on earth, and Enough is Allah
to carry through all affairs.
133. If it
were His will, He could destroy you, O mankind, and create another race; for He
hath power This to do.
134. If any
one desires a reward In This life, In Allah.s (gift) is the reward (Both) of
This life and of the Hereafter: for Allah is He that heareth and seeth (All
things).
Page No. 100 (AYAHAT 135 through 140 of Surat Al-NISA):
135. O ye
who believe! stand out firmly for justice, As witnesses to Allah, Even As
against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against)
rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. follow not the lusts (of your hearts),
Lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, Verily
Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do.
136. O ye
who believe! believe In Allah and His Messenger, and the Scripture which He
hath sent to His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent to those before
(him). any who denieth Allah, His angels, His books, His Messenger., and the
Day of Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.
137. Those
who believe, then reject Faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject Faith,
and go on increasing In unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them
nor guide them on the way.
138. To the
Hypocrites give the glad tidings that there is for them (but) a grievous
penalty;-
139. Yea,
to those who take for friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour
They seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with Allah.
140.
Already has He sent you word In the Book, that when ye Hear the Signs of Allah
held In defiance and ridicule, ye are not to sit with them unless They turn to
a different theme: if ye did, ye would be like them. for Allah will collect the
Hypocrites and those who defy Faith - all In Hell:-
Page No. 101 (AYAHAT 141 through 147 of Surat Al-NISA):
141. (These
are) the ones who wait and watch about you: if ye do gain a victory from Allah,
They say: "Were we not with you?"- but if the unbelievers gain a
success, They say (to them): "Did we not gain an advantage over you, and
did we not guard you from the believers?" but Allah will judge betwixt you
on the Day of Judgment. and never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to
triumphs) over the believers.
142. The
Hypocrites - They think They are over-reaching Allah, but He will over- reach
them: when They stand up to prayer, They stand without earnestness, to be seen
of men, but Little do They hold Allah In remembrance;
143. (They
are) distracted In mind Even In the midst of it,- being (sincerely) for neither
one group nor for another whom Allah leaves straying,- never wilt Thou find for
Him the way.
144. O ye
who believe! take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: do ye wish
to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?
145. The
Hypocrites will be In the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt Thou find
for them;-
146. Except
for those who repent, mend (Their lives) hold fast to Allah, and purify their
Religion As In Allah.s sight: if so They will be (numbered) with the believers.
and soon will Allah grant to the believers a reward of immense value.
147. What
can Allah gain by your punishment, if ye are grateful and ye believe? Nay, it
is Allah that recogniseth (All good), and knoweth all things.
Page No.102 (AYAHAT 148 through 154 of Surat Al-NISA):
148. Allah
loveth not that evil should be noised abroad In public speech, except where
injustice hath been done; for Allah is He who heareth and knoweth all things.
149.
Whether ye publish a good deed or conceal it or cover evil with pardon, Verily
Allah doth Blot out (sins) and hath power (in the Judgment of values).
150. Those
who deny Allah and His apostles, and (Those who) wish to separate Allah from
His apostles, saying: "We believe In some but reject others": and
(Those who) wish to take a course midway,-
151. They
are In truth (equally) Unbelievers; and we have prepared for unbelievers a
humiliating punishment.
152. To
those who believe In Allah and His apostles and make no distinction between any
of the apostles, we shall soon give their (due) rewards: for Allah is Oft-
forgiving, Most Merciful.
153. The
people of the Book ask Thee to cause a Book to descend to them from heaven:
indeed They asked Moses for an Even greater (miracle), for They said:
"Show us Allah In public," but They were dazed for their presumption,
with thunder and lightning. yet They worshipped the calf Even after Clear Signs
had come to them; Even so we forgave them; and gave Moses Manifest proofs of
authority.
154. And
for their Covenant we raised over them (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai);
and (on another occasion) we said: "Enter the gate with humility";
and (once again) we commanded them: "Transgress not In the matter of the
sabbath." and we took from them a solemn covenant.
Page No. 103 (AYAHAT 155 through 162 of Surat Al-NISA):
155. (They
have incurred divine displeasure): In that They broke their covenant; that They
rejected the Signs of Allah. that They slew the Messengers In defiance of
right; that They said, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve
Allah.s Word; we need no more)";- Nay, Allah hath set the seal on their
hearts for their blasphemy, and Little is it They believe;-
156. That
They rejected faith; that They uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
157. That
They said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the
Messenger of Allah.;- but They killed Him not, nor crucified him, but so it was
made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with
no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety They
killed Him not:-
158. Nay,
Allah raised Him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted In power, Wise;-
159. And
there is none of the people of the Book but must believe In Him before His death;
and on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against them;-
160. For
the iniquity of the Jews we made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and
wholesome which had been lawful for them;- In that They hindered many from
Allah.s Way;-
161. That
They took usury, though They were forbidden; and that They devoured men's
substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject Faith a
grievous punishment.
162. But
those among them who are well-grounded In knowledge, and the believers, believe
In what hath been revealed to Thee and what was revealed before thee: and
(especially) those who establish regular prayer and practise regular charity
and believe In Allah and In the Last Day: to them shall we soon give a great
reward.
Page No. 104 (AYAHAT 163 through 170 of Surat Al-NISA):
163. We
have sent Thee inspiration, As we sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him:
we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus,
Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David we gave the Psalms.
164. Of
some apostles we have already told Thee the story; of others we have not;- and
to Moses Allah spoke direct;-
165.
Messenger. who gave good news As well As warning, that mankind, after (the
coming) of the apostles, should have no plea against Allah. for Allah is
Exalted In power, wise.
166. But
Allah beareth witness that what He hath sent unto Thee He hath sent from His
(own) knowledge, and the angels bear witness: but Enough is Allah for a
witness.
167. Those
who reject Faith and keep off (men) from the way of Allah, have Verily strayed
far, far away from the path.
168. Those
who reject Faith and do wrong,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to
any way-
169. Except
the way of Hell, to dwell therein for ever. and This to Allah is easy.
170. O
mankind! the Messenger hath come to you In truth from Allah. believe In him: it
is best for you. but if ye reject Faith, to Allah belong all things In the
heavens and on earth: and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Page No.105 (AYAHAT 171 through 175 of Surat Al-NISA):
171. O
people of the Book! Commit no excesses In your religion: nor say of Allah aught
but the Truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of
Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from
him: so believe In Allah and His apostles. say not "Trinity" :
desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. glory be to him:
(far Exalted is He) above having a son. to Him belong all things In the heavens
and on earth. and Enough is Allah As a disposer of affairs.
172. Christ
disdaineth nor to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels, those nearest (to
Allah.: those who Disdain His worship and are arrogant,-He will gather them all
together unto Himself to (answer).
173. But to
those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due)
rewards,- and more, out of His bounty: but those who are disdainful and
arrogant, He will punish with a grievous penalty; nor will They find, besides
Allah, any to protect or help them.
174. O
mankind! Verily there hath come to you a convincing proof from your Lord: for
we have sent unto you a light (That is) manifest.
175. Then
those who believe In Allah, and hold fast to him,- soon will He admit them to
Mercy and Grace from Himself, and guide them to Himself by a straight way.
Page No. 106 (AYAHAT 176 through 176 of Surat Al-NISA):
176. They
ask Thee for a legal decision. say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave
no descendants or ascendants As heirs. if it is a man that dies, leaving a
sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: if (Such a deceased
was) a woman, who left no child, Her brother takes Her inheritance: if there are
two sisters, They shall have two-thirds of the inheritance (Between them): if
there are brothers and sisters, (They share), the male having Twice the share
of the female. Thus doth Allah make Clear to you (his law), Lest ye err. and
Allah hath knowledge of all things.
