Rejected were the messengers before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those messengers.

If their spurning is hard on thy mind, yet if thou wert able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the skies and bring them a sign,- (what good?). If it were Allah's will, He could gather them together unto true guidance: so be not thou amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)!

They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Allah hath certainly power to send down a sign: but most of them understand not.

Those who reject our signs are deaf and dumb,- in the midst of darkness profound: whom Allah willeth, He leaveth to wander: whom He willeth, He placeth on the way that is straight.

Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.

When those come to thee who believe in Our signs, Say: "Peace be on you: Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Say: "For me, I (work) on a clear sign from my Lord, but ye reject Him. What ye would see hastened, is not in my power. The command rests with none but Allah: He declares the truth, and He is the best of judges."

Say: "He hath power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance - each from the other." See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); that they may understand.

On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may (learn to) fear Allah.

Say: "Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah,- things that can do us neither good nor harm,- and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? - like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, come to us', (vainly) guiding him to the path." Say: "Allah's guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds;-

That was the reasoning about Us, which We gave to Abraham (to use) against his people: We raise whom We will, degree after degree: for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge.

And Isma'il and Elisha, and Jonas, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations:

No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "Allah (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.

And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.

Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of His signs!"

Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of His signs!"

That is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship ye Him: and He hath power to dispose of all affairs.

Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.

"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith.

"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith.

Say: "O my people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): soon will ye know who it is whose end will be (best) in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrong-doers will not prosper."

They say: "What is in the wombs of such and such cattle is specially reserved (for food) for our men, and forbidden to our women; but if it is still-born, then all have share therein. For their (false) attribution (of superstitions to Allah), He will soon punish them: for He is full of wisdom and knowledge.

Lost are those who slay their children, from folly, without knowledge, and forbid food which Allah hath provided for them, inventing (lies) against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and heeded no guidance.

Of camels a pair, and oxen a pair; say, hath He forbidden the two males, or the two females, or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? - Were ye present when Allah ordered you such a thing? But who doth more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead astray men without knowledge? For Allah guideth not people who do wrong.

Say: "I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine,- for it is an abomination - or, what is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than Allah's". But (even so), if a person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- thy Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Moreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail,- and a guide and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.

Lest ye should say: "The Book was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by assiduous study:"

When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers doing so"; and "Allah commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, Allah never commands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know not?"

Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.

Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Signs? For such, their portion appointed must reach them from the Book (of decrees): until, when our messengers (of death) arrive and take their souls, they say: "Where are the things that ye used to invoke besides Allah?" They will reply, "They have left us in the lurch," And they will bear witness against themselves, that they had rejected Allah.

在你之前，有许多使者，确已被人否认，但他们忍受他人的否认和迫害，直到我的援助降临他们。真主的约言，不是任何人所能变更的。众使者的消息，有一部分确已降临你了。

如果他们的拒绝使你难堪，那末，如果你能找著一条入地的隧道，或一架登天的梯子，从而昭示他们一种迹象，（你就这样做吧。）假若真主意欲，他必将他们集合在正道上，故你绝不要做无知的人。

他们说：“为什么没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢？”你说：“真主确是能降示一种迹象的。”但他们大半不知道。

否认我的迹象的人，是又聋又哑的，是在重重黑暗中的。真主欲使谁误入迷途，就使谁误入迷途；欲使谁遵循正路，就使谁遵循正路。

你说：“你们告诉我吧，如果真主使你们失去听觉和视觉，而且封闭你们的心，那末，除真主外，还有哪个主宰能使你们复原呢？”你看我是怎样阐述一切迹象的，然而，他们置之不顾。

确信我的迹象的人来见你的时候，你说：“祝你们平安。你们的主，曾以慈悯为自己的责任。你们中谁无知地作恶，然后悔过自新，真主必定赦宥谁，因为他确是至赦的，确是至慈的。”

你说：“我确是依据从我的主降示的明证的，而你们却否认它。我不能主持你们要求早日实现的刑罚。一切判决，只归真主；他依理而判决，他是最公正的判决者。”

你说：“他能使刑罚从你们的头上和脚下袭击你们，或使你们各宗派相混杂，从而使你们这宗派尝试那宗派的战争。”你看，我怎样阐述许多迹象，以便他们了解。

敬畏的人，对于不义者的受清算，毫无关系，但须劝戒（他们），他们或许敬畏。

你说：“难道我们舍真主而祈祷那对于我们既无福又无祸的东西吗？在真主引导我们之后，我们背叛正道，犹如在迷惑的情状下被恶魔引诱到无人烟的地方的人一样吗？他有些朋友，叫他来遵循正道，说：“你到我们这里来吧！”（他不听从，以致毁灭。）你说：“真主的引导，才是正导。我们奉命归顺全世界的主。”

这是我的证据，我把它赏赐易卜拉欣，以便他驳斥他的宗族，我将我所意欲的人提升若干级。你的主，确是至睿的，确是全知的。

（我曾引导）易司马仪、艾勒·叶赛、优努斯和鲁特，我曾使他们超越世人。

他们对于真主没有真正的认识，当时，他们说：“真主没有把任何物降示给任何人。”你说：“谁降示了穆萨所传授的、可以做世人的光明和向导的天经呢？你们把那部天经抄录在一些散纸上，你们发表一部分，隐藏大部分。你们曾受过自己和祖先所未认识的教训。”你说：“是真主。”然后，任随他们在妄言中游戏。

这是我所降示的吉祥的经典，足以证实以前的天经，以便你用它去警告首邑（麦加）及其四周的居民；确信后世的人，都确信它，而且谨守拜功。

假借真主的名义而造谣的，自称奉到启示，其实，没有奉到任何启示的人，或妄言要像真主那样降示天经的人，这等人谁比他们还不义呢？不义的人正在临死的苦痛中，众天神伸著手说：“你们拿出你们的灵魂吧！今天你们要受辱刑的报酬，因为你们假借真主的名义而造谣，并藐视他的迹象。”那时，假若你看见他们的情状，……。

假借真主的名义而造谣的，自称奉到启示，其实，没有奉到任何启示的人，或妄言要像真主那样降示天经的人，这等人谁比他们还不义呢？不义的人正在临死的苦痛中，众天神伸著手说：“你们拿出你们的灵魂吧！今天你们要受辱刑的报酬，因为你们假借真主的名义而造谣，并藐视他的迹象。”那时，假若你看见他们的情状，……。

这是真主，你们的主，除他外，绝无应受崇拜的。他是万物的创造者，故你们当拜他。他是万物的监护者。

真主欲使谁遵循正道，就使谁的心胸为伊斯兰而敞开；真主欲使谁误入迷途，就使谁的心胸狭隘，（要他信道），难如登天。真主这样以刑罚加于不信道的人。

”精灵和人类的群众啊！难道你们同族中的使者没有来对你们叙述我的迹象，并警告你们将有今日的会见吗？”他们说：“我们已招认了。”尘世的生活欺骗了他们，他将招认自己原是不信道的。

”精灵和人类的群众啊！难道你们同族中的使者没有来对你们叙述我的迹象，并警告你们将有今日的会见吗？”他们说：“我们已招认了。”尘世的生活欺骗了他们，他将招认自己原是不信道的。

你说：“我的宗族啊！你们当尽力而工作，我必定也要工作。你们将知道谁获后世的善果。不义的人，必定不会成功。”

他们说：“这些牲畜所怀的胎儿，是专归我们男人的，对于我们的妻子是禁物。”如果那胎儿生下来是死的，他们就共同吃它。真主要为他们捏造谣言而报酬他们。他确是至睿的，确是全知的。

愚昧无知地杀害儿女，并且假借真主的名义把真主赏赐他们的给养当作禁物的人，确已亏折了，确已迷误了，他们没有遵循正道。

两只骆驼和两只黄牛。你说：“真主只以两只公的为禁物呢？还是只以两只母的为禁物呢？还是只以两只母的所孕育的为禁物呢？难道真主以此嘱咐你们的时候，你们会作见证吗？假借真主的名义而造谣，以致无知地使人迷误的人，有谁比他还不义呢？真主必定不引导不义的民众。”

你说：“在我所受的启示里，我不能发现任何人所不得吃的食物；除非是自死物，或流出的血液，或猪肉--因为它们确是不洁的--或是诵非真主之名而宰的犯罪物。”凡为势所迫，非出自愿，且不过分的人，（虽吃禁物，毫无罪过），因为你的主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

我把经典赏赐了穆萨，以完成我对行善者的恩惠，并解释一切律例，以作向导，并示慈恩，以便他们确信将来要与他们的主会见。

（我降示天经），以免你们说：“天经只被降示我们以前的两伙人，我们对于他们所诵习的经典，确是疏忽的。”

当他们做了丑事的时候，他们说：“我们发现我们的祖先是这样做的。真主也是命令我们这样做的。”你说：“真主不命令人做丑事。难道你们假借真主的名义而妄言你们自己所不知道的事情吗？”

你说：“我的主只禁止一切明显的和隐微的丑事，和罪恶，和无理的侵害，以及用真主所未证实的事物配真主，假借真主的名义而妄言自己所不知道的事情。”

假借真主的名义而造谣，或否认其迹象者，有谁比他们还不义呢？这等人将遭遇天经中为他们预定的命运，直到我的众使者来使他们死亡的时候，将对他们说：“你们从前舍真主而祈祷的（偶像），现在哪里呢？”他们将说：“他们已回避我们了。”他们将要承认自己原是不信道者。
