O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do.

"We never heard (the like) of this among the people of these latter days: this is nothing but a made-up tale!"

They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."

Say: "Allah speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans."

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.

Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah."

He said: "Before any food comes (in due course) to feed either of you, I will surely reveal to you the truth and meaning of this ere it befall you: that is part of the (duty) which my Lord hath taught me. I have (I assure you) abandoned the ways of a people that believe not in Allah and that (even) deny the Hereafter.

"And I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to Allah: that (comes) of the grace of Allah to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful.

So We have taught thee the inspired (Message), "Follow the ways of Abraham the True in Faith, and he joined not gods with Allah."

And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!

Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah.

And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.

"For if they should come upon you, they would stone you or force you to return to their cult, and in that case ye would never attain prosperity."

"We should indeed invent a lie against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of Allah, Our Lord. Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In the Allah is our trust. our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide."

The leaders, the arrogant party among his people, said: "O Shu'aib! we shall certainly drive thee out of our city - (thee) and those who believe with thee; or else ye (thou and they) shall have to return to our ways and religion." He said: "What! even though we do detest (them)?

And the Unbelievers said to their messengers: "Be sure we shall drive you out of our land, or ye shall return to our religion." But their Lord inspired (this Message) to them: "Verily We shall cause the wrong-doers to perish!

信道的人们啊！你们彼此间成立定期借贷的时候，你们应当写一张借券，请一个会写字的人，秉公代写。代书人不得拒绝，当遵照真主所教他的方法而书写。由债务者口授，（他口授时），当敬畏真主──他的主──不要减少债额一丝毫。如果债务者是愚蠢的，或老弱的，或不能亲自口授的，那末，叫他的监护人秉公地替他口授。你们当从你们的男人中邀请两个人作证；如果没有两个男人，那末，从你们所认可的证人中请一个男人和两个女人作证。这个女人遗忘的时候，那个女人可以提醒她。证人被邀请的时候，不得拒绝。无论债额多寡，不可厌烦，都要写在借券上，并写明偿还的日期。在真主看来，这是最公平的，最易作证的，最可祛疑的。但你们彼此间的现款交易，虽不写买卖契约，对於你们是毫无罪过的。你们成立商业契约的时候，宜请证人，对代书者和作证者，不得加以妨害；否则，就是你们犯罪。你们应当敬畏真主，真主教诲你们，真主是全知万物的。

在最后的宗教中，我们没有听见这种话，这种话只是伪造的。

他们说：“你们应当变成犹太教徒和基督教徒，你们才能获得正道。”你说：“不然，我们遵循崇奉正教的易卜拉欣的宗教，他不是以物配主者。”

你说：“真主所说的是实话，故你们应当遵守崇奉正教的易卜拉欣的宗教，他不是以物配主的。”

全体归顺真主，且乐善好施，并遵守崇正的易卜拉欣的宗教的，宗教方面，有谁比他更优美呢？真主曾把易卜拉欣当做至交。

你说：“我的主己指引我一条正路，即正教，崇正的易卜拉欣的宗教。他不是以物配主的人。”

他说：“无论谁送什么食物给你俩之前，我能告诉你们送的是什么。这是我的主教给我的。有一个民族不信仰真主，不信仰后世，我确已抛弃他们的宗教。

我遵循我的祖先--易卜拉欣、易司哈格、叶尔孤白的宗教。我们不该以任何物配真主，这是真主施于我们和世人的恩惠，但世人大半不感谢。

然后，我启示你说：“你应当遵守信奉正教的易卜拉欣的宗教，他不是以物配主的。”

你们应当为真主而真实地奋斗。他拣选你们，关于宗教的事，他未曾以任何烦难为你们的义务，你们应当遵循你们的祖先易卜拉欣的宗教，以前真主称你们为穆斯林，在这部经典里他也称你们为穆斯林，以便使者为你们作证，而你们为世人作证。你们当谨守拜功，完纳天课，信托真主；他是你们的主宰，主宰真好！助者真好！

犹太教徒和基督教徒绝不喜欢你，直到你顺从他们的宗教。你说：“真主的指导，确是指导。”在知识降临你之後，如果你顺从他们的私欲，那末，你绝无任何保护者或援助者，以反抗真主。

除妄自菲薄者外，谁愿鄙弃易卜拉欣的宗教呢？在今世，我确已拣选了他；在後世，他必居於善人之列。

城里的人，如果拿著你们，将用石头打死你们，或者强迫你们信奉他们的宗教，那末，你们就永不会成功了。”

真主使我们脱离你们的宗教后，如果我们再去信它，那末，我们确已假借真主的名义而造谣了。除非真主--我们的主--意欲，我们不会再信你们的宗教。我们的主的知觉是包罗万物的，我们只信托真主。我们的主啊！求你在我们和我们的宗族之间依真理而判决吧，你是至善的判决者。”

他的宗族中骄傲的贵族们说：“舒阿卜啊！我们一定要把你和你的信徒们逐出城外，除非你们再信我们的宗教。”他说：“即使我们厌恶你们的宗教，也要我们再信奉它吗？

不信道者对他们族中的使者说：“我们誓必把你们驱逐出境，或者你们誓必改信我们的宗教！”他们的主就启示他们说：“我誓必毁灭不义者，
