Say: "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good, even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear Allah, O ye that understand; that (so) ye may prosper."

O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a slit-ear she-camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from work: It is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah; but most of them lack wisdom.

When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Messenger": They say: "Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." what! even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance?

O ye who believe! Guard your own souls: If ye follow (right) guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who stray. the goal of you all is to Allah: it is He that will show you the truth of all that ye do.

O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah: if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!"

That is most suitable: that they may give the evidence in its true nature and shape, or else they would fear that other oaths would be taken after their oaths. But fear Allah, and listen (to His counsel): for Allah guideth not a rebellious people:

One day will Allah gather the messengers together, and ask: "What was the response ye received (from men to your teaching)?" They will say: "We have no knowledge: it is Thou Who knowest in full all that is hidden."

Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples."

They say: "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" If we did send down an angel, the matter would be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them.

Say: "To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To Allah. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.

Say: "To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To Allah. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.

Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "Allah is witness between me and you; This Qur'an hath been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches. Can ye possibly bear witness that besides Allah there is another Allah?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth He is the one Allah, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining others with Him."

Those to whom We have given the Book know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own souls refuse therefore to believe.

Who doth more wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah or rejecteth His signs? But verily the wrong-doers never shall prosper.

Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs, not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee, they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

We know indeed the grief which their words do cause thee: It is not thee they reject: it is the signs of Allah, which the wicked contemn.

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.

Say: "I tell you not that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I tell you I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me." Say: "can the blind be held equal to the seeing?" Will ye then consider not?

Say: "I am forbidden to worship those - others than Allah - whom ye call upon." Say: "I will not follow your wain desires: If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive guidance."

With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read).

He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty.

Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah: if it offered every ransom, (or reparation), none will be accepted: such is (the end of) those who deliver themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink (only) boiling water, and for punishment, one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting 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;-

When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."

Those were the (prophets) who received Allah's guidance: Copy the guidance they received; Say: "No reward for this do I ask of you: This is no less than a message for the nations."

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.

No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.

Follow what thou art taught by inspiration from thy Lord: there is no god but He: and turn aside from those who join gods with Allah.

They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a (special) sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say: "Certainly (all) signs are in the power of Allah: but what will make you (Muslims) realise that (even) if (special) signs came, they will not believe."?

你说：“污秽的和清洁的，是不相等的，即使污秽的为数很多，使你赞叹。”有理智的人啊；你们当敬畏真主，以便你们成功。

信道的人们啊!你们不要询问若干事物；那些事物，若为你们而被显示，会使你们烦恼。当《古兰经》正在逐渐降示的时候，如果你们询问，那末，那些事物会为你们而被显示。真主已恕饶以往的询问。真主是至赦的，是至容的。

真主没有规定缺耳驼、逍遥驼、孪生羊、免役驼；但不信道的人，假借真主的名义而造谣；他们大半是不了解的。

有人对他们说：“你们来遵守真主所降示的经典吧。来服从使者吧!”他们就说：“能满足我们的，是我们的祖先的宗教。”即使他们的祖先无知无识，不循正道，（他们仍要遵守）他们的宗教吗﹖

信道的人们啊!你们当保持自身的纯正。当你们遵守正道的时候，别人的迷误，不能损害你们。你们全体都要归于真主，他将把你们的行为告诉你们。

信道的人们啊!当你们中有人临终作遗嘱的时候，你们之间的作证，是你们（教胞）中两个公正人的作证，或别的两个外（教）人的作证，倘若你们旅行异乡，而病势垂危。礼拜之后，你们留著这两个证人，如果你们怀疑他们俩的忠实，他们俩就奉真主之名而发誓，说：“我们俩不以这个盟誓换取任何代价，即使我们俩所代证的，是我们俩的亲戚，我们俩也不隐讳真主所重视的证据；否则，我们俩必是犯罪的人。”

这种规定，更能使证人据实作证，或畏惧发誓之后誓言遭到拒绝。你们当敬畏真主，当听从命令。真主是不引导犯罪的民众的。

真主集合众使者的日子，将问他们说：“你们所得的答覆是什么﹖”他们将说：“我们毫无知识。你确是深知幽玄的。”

真主说：“我必定把筵席降给你们。此后，你们中谁不信道，我要用一种绝不用于惩治全世界任何人的刑罚来惩治谁。”

他们说：“为什么没有一个天神降临他呢？”假若我降下一个天神，那末，他们的毁灭，必成定案，而他们不蒙宽待了。

你说：“天地万物是谁的？”你说：“是真主的。”他曾以慈悯为自己的责任。他必在无疑的复活日集合你们。亏折自身的人，是不信道的。

你说：“天地万物是谁的？”你说：“是真主的。”他曾以慈悯为自己的责任。他必在无疑的复活日集合你们。亏折自身的人，是不信道的。

你说：“什么事物是最大的见证？”你说：“真主是我与你们之间的见证。这部《古兰经》，被启示给我，以便我用它来警告你们，和它所达到的各民族。难道你们务必要作证还有别的许多主宰与真主同等吗？”你说：“我不这样作证。”你说：“真主是独一的主宰。你们用来配主的（那些偶像），我与他们确是无关系的。”

蒙我赏赐经典的人，认识他，犹如认识自己的儿女一样。亏折自身的人，是不信他的。

假借真主的名义而造谣，或否认其迹象的人，有谁比他还不义呢？不义的人，必定不会成功。

他们中有倾听你的，我在他们的心上加蒙蔽，以免他们了解《古兰经》。又在他们的耳中造重听。他们即使看见－切迹象，他们也不会确信。等到他们来和你辩论的时候，不信道的人说：“这只是古人的神话。”

我确已知道：他们所说的话必使你悲伤。他们不是否认你，那些不义的人，是在否认真主的迹象。

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。

你说：“我不对你们说：我有真主的一切宝藏。我也不对你们说：我能知幽玄。我也不对你们说：我是一个天神。我只是遵从我所受的启示。”你说：“无眼的人与有眼的人是不是相等的？难道你们不该想想吗？”

你说：“我确已奉到禁令，不得崇拜你们舍真主而祈祷的。”你说：“我不顺从你们的私欲；否则，我必迷误，而绝不是遵循正道的人。”

真主那里，有幽玄的宝藏，只有他认识那些宝藏。他认识陆上和海中的一切；零落的叶子，没有一片是他不认识的，地面下重重黑暗中的谷粒，地面上一切翠绿的，和枯槁的草木，没有一样不详载在天经中。

他是宰制众仆的，他派遣许多天神来保护你们。待死亡降临你们中的任何人的时候，我的众天使，将使他死亡，他们毫不疏忽。

把自己的宗教当作嬉戏和娱乐，而且为今世生活所欺骗的人，你可以任他们自便。你应当以《古兰经》劝戒世人，以免任何人因自己的罪行而遭毁灭；他除真主外没有保护者，也没有说情者，他无论怎样赎罪，总无效果。这等人，将为自己的罪行而遭毁灭。他们将为不信道而享受沸腾的饮料，和受痛苦的刑罚。

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。”

当黑夜笼罩著他的时候，他看见一颗星宿，就说：“这是我的主。”当那颗星宿没落的时候，他说：“我不爱没落的。”

这等人，是真主引导的人，你应当效法他们走正道。你说：“我不为这部经典而向你们索取报酬，这部经典是全世界的教训。”

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。

众目不能见他，他却能见众目。他是精明的，是彻知的。

你当遵守你的主所启示你的经典；除他外，绝无应受崇拜的；你当避开以物配主的人。

他们指真主而发出最严重的盟誓，如果有一种迹象降临他们，那末，他们必定确信它。你说：“一切迹象，只在真主那里。”你们怎么知道呢？当迹象降临的时候，他们或许不信它。
