O you, humankind! Fear your Rabb, Who created you from a single soul, created from it, its mate, and then spread out many men and women from them. And fear Allah in Whose name you ask one another (your rights) and (based on) the relations of wombs (you demand your rights). Allah is Always Watching over you.

And test (observe) the orphans until they reach adulthood for marriage. If you sense maturity in them, then make payments of their assets (properties) to them. And do not consume it extravagantly or in huge amounts (fearing) that they will grow up. And rich people should make an exemption (to themselves), but poor people should consume moderately. So, when you pay for their assets, this should be witnessed for them. And Allah is sufficient to Keep the account.

Allah commands you in (inheritance of) your children: For the male has a portion (share) like that of two females. If there are women above two, then for them, two-thirds of what is left. If there is only one, then for her is half. For the parents, everyone from them gets one-sixth with what is left if he has a child. If he has no child for him and his inheritance is for his parents, then his mother is one-third. If he has brothers and sisters, his mother is one-sixth after fulfilling any will after what he has willed with it or debt. Your parents and your children do not know who among them is closer to profit for you. This is an obligation from Allah, and indeed Allah is All-Knowing, with All Wisdom.

And for you is half what was left from your wives if they do not have a child. If they have a child, then for you is one-fourth from what they have left after fulfilling any will after what they have willed with it or (paying) debt. For them is one-fourth of what you have left if you do not have a child. If you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you have left after fulfilling any will after what you have willed with it or debt. If a man whose wealth is to be inherited is with no parents, child, or woman, but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of these two is one-sixth. If there were more siblings, then for them, they are shared one-third after fulfilling any will after what he has willed with it or debt without harm (to anyone). This is a commandment from Allah, and Allah is All-Knowing and All Forbearing.

And among you who cannot (lacks means to) marry the believing chastity woman, he may marry what your right-hand own from your young believing women. Allah knows the best with your beliefs. You are one of another (have the same rights), so marry them with permission of their family and give them their dowry (reward) in an adequately known manner, being chaste (pure and virtuous) with no fornication and do not take hold of intimate friends. Let them become chastised (married), then if they bring (do) fornication, then on them is half punishment of what is on the chaste (free women). This exemption is for those who fear hardship (to restrain) among you. If you be patient, it is better for you, for Allah is the Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.

O you those who believe! Do not get close to the prayer while intoxicated until you know what you are saying, nor in a state of major ritual impurity, except if you are crossing the path (on the way) until you wash your whole body (bathed). If you have been sick or traveling, or one of you came from the call of nature, or cohabited the women, and cannot find water, then aim to the head (touch on dust-covered on) ascended clean (surface) then touch (rub) your face and your hands with it. Indeed Allah is the Most Pardoning, the Most-Forgiving.

Those who are believers fight in the path of Allah, and those who are nonbelievers fight in the path of tyranny. So, fight (against) the shaitan's friends, for the shaitan's plan is weak.

Did you not see to those who were told, “Restrain your hands, establish the prayers, and give charity”? But when the fighting was destined on them, a group of them feared the men (of the opposite party) like they feared Allah, or even more intense in fear. And they said, “O our Rabb, why did You destine fighting on us? If only You had delayed it for a short time.” Say, “The provisions of this world are little, but the Hereafter is the best for whoever fears God, and they will not be unjustly treated with the twist (one bit).”

Wherever you will be, death will catch you, even if you were (protected) in a built castle. When a good deed happens to them, they say, “This is from Allah.” But when harm happens to them, they say, “This is because of you" (Holy Prophet, and would absolve themselves from all responsibility). Say, “Everything is from Allah.” So, what is wrong with these people? Why do they not understand a point of conversation?

Except for those who join a nation with whom you have a treaty between you and between them, or they come to you with a dilemma in their hearts to fight you or their nation. If Allah desires, He would have given them power over you; then they would have fought you. If they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer peace to you, then Allah has not made way for you (to be agressive) against them.

Soon, you will find others who desire that they are peaceful with you and (also) they are peaceful with their nation. But whenever they are returned, they suffer a setback with the temptation (to fight with you). So, if they do not withdraw from you, nor offer you peace, nor they hold back their hands, then hold them and fight with them anywhere you find them. For those, We have made a clear authority for you against them.

And it is not for a believer that he kills another believer except by mistake (in error. accidental). Whoever kills a believer in error must free a slave believer and pay compensation to his family unless they give (that amount) to a charity. If he was from your enemy nation but is a believer, he should free a slave believer. If he was from a nation with whom you have a treaty, pay compensation to his family and free a believing slave. If he cannot find the means, he should fast for two months consecutively; repentance from Allah for Allah is All-Knowing and All Wisdom.

O you, those who believe! When you travel in the path of Allah, examine critically, and do not say to those who meet you with peace, "You are not a believer," you desire the goods of life in this world. The great wealth is with Allah. You were in the same condition as them before then Allah favored you, so examine critically, for Allah has All Knowledge of what you do. [(Note. To express a bad opinion of someone's behavior, often because you think you are better than them: You have no right to judge other people because of what they look like or what they believe. Only Allah Knows)].

It is not the same for those who remain seated (inactive to fight non-believers at Ghazwa Badar) among the believers, other than those with the impairment, and those who put efforts in the path of Allah with their wealth and themselves. Allah has made them superior who put effort with their wealth and themselves over those who remain seated (inactive) by a higher grade. But for everyone, Allah has promised the good, and Allah has made those who put forth efforts superior over those who remain inactive, A Great Reward. [(Ref. The Battle of Badr (غزوة بدر‎, Ghazwat Badr) was fought between Muslims and Quraish, and won by Muslims on Tuesday, 13 March 624 CE (17 Ramadan, 2 AH), near the present-day city of Badr, Al Madinah)].

And when you are among them, and you stand with them for prayer, then a group from them should be with you, and they should keep their weapons. Then, when they bow down, there should be a group behind you, and the other group should come who have not prayed yet; should pray with you, take their precautions and keep their weapons. Those who are nonbelievers would like you to be neglectful with your weapons and equipment so that they can swing on you with one strike. And it is not a sin on you, if there was harm due to rain or sickness, that you put down your weapons; but take your precautions. Indeed Allah has prepared for the nonbelievers a degrading punishment.

People of the Book ask you that you (need to) have a book (shown physically and directly) sent to them from the sky. They already asked Musa for bigger than that. They said, “Show us, Allah, openly.” Then the thunderbolt struck them because they were unjust. Then they took hold of the calf (for worship), even after what came to them as evidence. Yet We forgave them for that, and We gave Musa clear authority.

O, the people of the Book! Do not transgress (exaggerate) in your religion, and do not say on Allah except the truth. Indeed, Essa (عليه السلام ‘Alayah al-Salam, Prophet Jesus), son of Marriam (عليه السلام ‘Alayah al-Salam), was only a messenger of Allah (the fulfillment of) His words to Maryam (عليه السلام ‘Alayah al-Salam) and Spirit from Him. So, believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” (Now) Terminate that will be best for you. Only Allah is one God. He is far from any imperfection to have a son (He is above imperfection to have a need of a son). For Him belongs whatever is in the universe and the earth; Allah is All-Sufficient, In-Charge.

They ask you for a legal opinion. Say, “Allah gives you a legal opinion about the indirect heir (no heir in a direct line). If a man dies and has no children and (but) has a sister, then for her is half of what he left. And (same) he will inherit from her if she (dies) with no children, but if there are two sisters, then both (both together) will get two-thirds of what he left. If there were brothers and sisters, then for the male is two shares of females.” Allah clarifies so that you may not be misguided, for Allah is All-Knowing of everything.
