Indeed those who believed, the Jews (Yehudi's), the Nasara (Christians), and the Sabeans who believed in Allah and the day of the hereafter and did good deeds, then the reward for them is with their Rabb, and they will have no fear, and they will not grieve.

We helped him with the Holy Spirit. (Holy Spirit may refer to Revelations or to Angel Gabriel, who brought Revelation to the Prophets, or to the Holy Soul of Jesus Christ which Allah had created pure), Then every Messenger who came to you who was not (preaching) according to your desires, you became arrogant (you stubbornly opposed the Messengers, and you deemed yourself too important to follow the Messengers), then a group (of Messengers) that you denied and a group (of Messengers) that you killed.

And they say our hearts are covered, but Allah has cursed them because of their ungratefulness, and so, few are those who are believers (or they believe in a little portion).NOTE. The inner self of believing I am better and I already know it all creates a cover in mind to block the truth. Cover of Self-pride that I know better and know it all is used to block processing the information which conflicts with their untrue-believes. Allah created all human beings as equals. Allah created humans to worship ONLY Allah, the Creator.

And they followed what the shaitans read, in the kingdom of Solomon, and Solomon did not do injustice, but the shaitans were doing the injustice. They used to teach the people magic (sorcery, witchcraft) and what was sent down with the two angels of Babel, (named) haroot and maroot. And they did not teach anyone until they (both) said that we are a seduction, so do not become unjust. They taught them how to cause (create) separation between the husband and his wife, and they were not hurting anyone except with the permission of Allah. And they learned what hurt them and did not benefit them, and indeed they knew that whoever bought it, nothing worthy would be for him in the hereafter. And misery is what they purchased for themselves if only they had realized (known).

And wherever you are, turn your face towards its direction. Indeed, those given the Book surely know that it is the truth from their Rabb, and Allah is not unaware of what they do.

Indeed, in the creation of the universe and the earth, in the difference between night and day, in humankind getting benefits from the ships that run in the oceans, in water that Allah sends down from the sky, in the earth that gets life by it after its death, in every creature that He spreads out in this, in the turning of the wind and the clouds that have been subjugated between the sky and the earth; are signs for the people who know.

It is permissible for you, on the night of the fasting, to approach your woman. They are coverings for you, and you are coverings for them. Allah knows that you used to fail yourselves, but He accepted your repentance and forgave you. Now you can be close to them and seek what Allah has prescribed for you and eat and drink until the line of the white is clear from the line of the black in the dawn. Then complete the fast until night and do not have intimate contact with them. When you seclude in the Masjids, these are the boundaries of Allah, so do not come close to them. That is how Allah made His signs clear for humankind to become (God) fearing.

And complete the Hajj and Umrah (minor pilgrimage) for Allah. But if you are besieged, then sacrifice what is accessible to you. And do not shave your heads until sacrifice reaches its place (of the sacrifice). Who is sick or suffers in his head, then do redemption by fasting, giving charity, or performing the sacrifice. When you are in peace, who desires the Umrah until the Hajj, donate what is easy. Who does not have the means should fast three days in the Hajj and seven when you return; these are ten totals. This is for those who have no family present (residing) at the Prohibited Masjid. Fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in the retribution.

Humankind had been one nation, then Allah raised prophets, giving them the good news and warning them. And sent down with them (revealed) the Book with the truth to decide between humankind what they were contradicting in it. But they did not reject (deny) it, except for those who were given it after the clear evidence (message) came to them (they contradicted and used the message) to oppress one another. Then Allah guided believers in what they (nonbelievers) were contradicting with the truth with His permission. And Allah guides whom He wants towards the straight path. (NOTE: This Ayat indicates that Prophets were sent with the Book, one Book as a source. The message never changed).

They ask you about fighting in the prohibited month. Say, fighting in it is significant, and (but) hindering from the path of Allah, and being ungrateful to Him, preventing access to the prohibited mosque, and deporting their residents from it, is more significant near Allah. And enticement is more severe than killings. They will not cease to fight with you until you turn away from your faith if they are capable. Whoever among you turns away from his faith and dies while being a nonbeliever, and their deeds are wasted in this world and hereafter. They will be the companions of the fire, and they will live there forever.

And do not marry polytheist women until they believe. The slave-believing girl is better than a polytheist woman even though she is pleasing to you. And do not marry polytheist men until they believe. The slave-believing man is better than the polytheist man even though he is pleasing to you. They invite you to the fire, but Allah invites you to paradise and forgiveness with His permission. He makes His Signs clear for humankind so that maybe they will remember.

Divorce is allowed two times. Then hold them with recognition or let them go free with goodness.

Then If you fear that they will not hold the boundaries of Allah, no sin on both in this if she gives up (her dowry) to free herself; this is the boundary of Allah, so do not exceed these (boundaries Allah). And whoever transcends the limits of Allah, then they are unjust.

And the mothers may feed their children for two years, complete for those who desire to complete the feeding period. The father has to take care of the baby, their provisions, and their clothing in recognized ways. No difficulty on any soul beyond their capacity. No trouble for the mother on account of her child and no trouble for the father on account of his child. (No suffering for parents on account of their child). And on the heir (if the father dies), it is the same duty. If they both desire to separate from feeding with the agreement, then no sin is on them. If you want that other to nurse for your child, then no sin is on you if you turn over with pay in recognized ways. And fear Allah and know. Indeed, Allah Sees what you do.

رَأَى مَلَأَ اِبْن بعُد قَالَ نبأ بعث ملك قَتَلَ فِي سَبَلَ إِله قَالَ عَسَى كَتَبَ قَتَلَ قَتَلَ قَالَ قَتَلَ فِي سَبَلَ إِله خرج دَارَ اِبْن كَتَبَ قَتَلَ وَلِيَ قَلَّ إِلَٰه علِم ظَلَمَ


Did you not see the chiefs of children of Israel after Musa? When they said to their prophet, raise a king for us so that we will fight in the cause of Allah, he said, is it possible that if fighting was ordained for you, then you will not fight? They said, why would we not fight for Allah's cause when our children and we have been deported from our homes? But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned back, except a few of them. But Allah Knows who is unjust. Note. Yaqoob (Jacob) Alahis-Salam was the son of Ishaq (Isaac) Alahis-Salam and the grandson of Ibrahim (Abraham) Alahis-Salam. Yaqoob, (Jacob) Alahis-Salam is also named Israel, meaning 'Servant of Allah.

Their prophet told them Allah had delegated Taluth as a king for you. They said, "Why is he the king for us when we have more right to be the king than him, and he has not been given abundance of wealth?". Said (prophet), "Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you. He provided him with enormous knowledge and stature. Allah grants His kingship to whomever He desires, and Allah Has the Most Extended Knowledge".

When Talut went out with his army, he said Allah would test you with a river. Then whoever drinks from it does not belong with me, but whoever does not drink from it does belong with me, except for whoever gulps from cupped hand. But they drank from it, except a few of them. Then, when they passed (crossed) over it, those believing in him said; we do not have the power to fight with Goliath and his army. But those who knew that they would meet Allah said how many from a small group had overcome a more influential group with the permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient.

Then whoever does not believe in the transgression (does not exceed the boundaries of Allah) and believes in Allah, indeed, holds a strong bond (with Allah). There's no crack open for him (no slipping to do the evils). Allah is All-Listening, the All-Knowing.

Did you see him (Nimrod) who disputed Ibrahim about his Rabb because Allah gave him the kingdom? Abraham said, my Rabb is the one who gives lives and death. He said, I give life, and I give death (Nimrod brings forth two men condemned to death previously. He orders the execution of one while freeing the other). Ibrahim said Allah brings the Sun from the East, so (can you do the same) bring it from the West. Then he (king), the nonbeliever, became bewildered. And Allah does not guide the nation of the unjust.

Or like him, who passed by a town that was empty in its shacks (dead village). He said, how can Allah give life after its death? Then Allah gave him death for a hundred years and raised him. He said, how long have you stayed over (paused)? He said I have stayed over (paused) a day or part of a day. He said, but you have stayed over (been halted, paused) for a hundred years. Now see your food and drinks; they are not staled, and then look towards your donkey. And We will make you sign for humankind. And then see towards its bones, how We arrange it and then how We put the cover of meat over it. Then when it became clear to him, he said, I know Allah has control over everything.

O you, those who believe! Do not nullify your charities by obligating with demanding rewards and hurt, like he who spends his wealth to show off to humankind and does not believe in Allah and the day of the hereafter. His example is like an example of a clear (rock) with dust on it, and then heavy rain pours down on it and leaves it hard (nothing grows on it); no, they do not have power over anything from what they earned (to begin with, Allah helped them to earn and also they will not have any reward in the hereafter if they demand respect and favors in return of their charity). Allah does not guide the nation of the ungrateful.

Would any of you like a garden with grapes, date palms, and a river running below it; for him, there are all kinds of fruits, and he reaches old age, and his children are weak. Then a storm comes to it with fire and burns it down? This is evidence (proof) of how Allah makes signs for you so that you may think.

O you, those who believe! When you borrow a loan for a fixed time, write it down. And there should be a scribe written between yourselves and a writer with justice. The writer should not refuse to write what Allah has taught him. It should be dictated by the one who has the right. And he should fear Allah, his Rabb; he should not reduce anything from it. If the person who has the right is incompetent or weak and does not have the capacity to dictate, then his guardian should dictate with justice. And ask for two witnesses from your men. If you do not have two men, then one man and two women from your agreement in witness; if one of the witnesses errs, then it should be reminded by the other. The witnesses should not turn away when they are called. And do not claim to be above what you write, whether small or big, including a fixed period (for repayment). That is fairer in sight of Allah; this is more upright for the witness and lowers doubt. The exception is in spot trade present among yourself, and then it is no sinning on you if you do not write it. And let there be witnesses whenever you sell, and do not harm the writer nor the witness. And if you do, then, indeed, that is sin. And fear Allah and Allah teaches you, and Allah knows everything.

If you have been on a journey and do not find a writer, a (pawn) security deposit should be taken for possession. But if you trust one another, then it should be paid by him who has been entrusted with his pledge, and he should fear Allah, his Rabb. And do not hide the testimony. And whoever conceals that, then indeed, he has sin on his heart, and Allah Knows all your deeds.
