They ask thee concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in (the affairs of) men, and for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the back: It is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses through the proper doors: And fear Allah: That ye may prosper.

They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein.

They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth Allah Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider-

(Their bearings) on this life and the Hereafter. They ask thee concerning orphans. Say: "The best thing to do is what is for their good; if ye mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren; but Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good. And if Allah had wished, He could have put you into difficulties: He is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise."

They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution: So keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified themselves, ye may approach them in any manner, time, or place ordained for you by Allah. For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.

In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah,- those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures.

Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.

Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.

They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.

Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;-

Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.

Contend not on behalf of such as betray their own souls; for Allah loveth not one given to perfidy and crime:

O ye who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the symbols of Allah, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the people resorting to the sacred house, seeking of the bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim garb, ye may hunt and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment.

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.

If they accuse thee of falsehood, say: "Your Lord is full of mercy all-embracing; but from people in guilt never will His wrath be turned back.

"Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper."

Ask them concerning the town standing close by the sea. Behold! they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. For on the day of their Sabbath their fish did come to them, openly holding up their heads, but on the day they had no Sabbath, they came not: thus did We make a trial of them, for they were given to transgression.

When they disregarded the warnings that had been given them, We rescued those who forbade Evil; but We visited the wrong-doers with a grievous punishment because they were given to transgression.

They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only, all of a sudden will it come to you." They ask thee as if thou Wert eager in search thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone), but most men know not."

Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn away from the ignorant.

They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe."

But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.

The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other: They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten Allah; so He hath forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse.

The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.

They will swear unto you, that ye may be pleased with them but if ye are pleased with them, Allah is not pleased with those who disobey.

Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance; that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah;- (These do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers.

Why were there not, among the generations before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth - except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrong-doers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them, and persisted in sin.

(Respite will be granted) until, when the messengers give up hope (of their people) and (come to) think that they were treated as liars, there reaches them Our help, and those whom We will are delivered into safety. But never will be warded off our punishment from those who are in sin.

Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.

They said: "Did we not forbid thee (to speak) for all and sundry?"

他们询问新月的情状，你说：“新月是人事和朝觐的时计。”正义绝不是从房屋後面穿洞进去，但正义是敬畏。你们当从门户走进房屋，当敬畏真主，以便你们成功。

他们问你禁月内可以作战吗？你说：“禁月内作战是大罪；妨碍主道，不信真主，妨碍（朝觐）禁寺，驱逐禁寺区的居民出境，这些行为，在真主看来，其罪更大。迫害是比杀戮还残酷的。”如果他们能力充足，势必继续进攻你们，务使你们叛教。你们中谁背叛正教，至死还不信道，谁的善功在今世和後世完全无效。这等人，是火狱的居民，他们将永居其中。

他们问你饮酒和赌博（的律例），你说：“这两件事都包含著大罪，对於世人都有许多利益，而其罪过比利益还大。”他们问你他们应该施舍甚麽，你说：“你们施舍剩余的吧。”真主这样为你们阐明一切迹象，以便你们思维今世和後世的事务。

他们问你怎样待遇孤儿，你说：“为他们改善他们的事务是更好的。如果你们与他们合伙，那末，（你们应当记取）他们是你们的教胞。真主能辨别破坏的人和改善的人。假若真主意欲，他必使你们烦难。”真主确是万能的，确是至睿的。

他们问你月经的（律例），你说：“月经是有害的，故在经期中你们应当离开妻子，不要与她们交接，直到她们清洁。当她们洗净的时候，你们可以在真主所命你们的部位与她们交接。”真主的确喜爱悔罪的人，的确喜爱洁净的人。

其中有许多明证，如易卜拉欣的立足地；凡入其中的人都得安宁。凡能旅行到天房的，人人都有为真主而朝觐天房的义务。不信道的人（无损于真主），因为真主确是无求于全世界的。

你们中当有一部分人，导人于至善，并劝善戒恶；这等人，确是成功的。

你们是为世人而被产生的最优秀的民族，你们劝善戒恶，确信真主。假若信奉天经的人确信正道，那对于他们是更好的。他们中有一部分是信士，大部分是罪人。

他们确信真主和末日，他们劝善戒恶，争先行善；这等人是善人。

敬畏的人，在康乐时施舍，在艰难时也施舍，且能抑怒、又能恕人。真主是喜爱行善者的。

人人都要尝死的滋味。在复活日，你们才得享受你们的完全报酬。谁得远离火狱，而入乐园，谁已成功。今世的生活，只是虚幻的享受。

你不要替自欺者辩护。真主的确不喜欢奸诈的犯罪者。

信道的人们啊!你们不要亵渎真主的标识和禁月,不要侵犯作牺牲用的牲畜,不要破坏那些牲畜的项圈,不要伤害朝觐禁寺以求主的恩惠和喜悦的人。当你们开戒的时候，可以打猎。有人曾阻止你们进禁寺，你们绝不要为怨恨他们而过分。你们当为正义和敬畏而互助，不要为罪恶和横暴而互助。你们当敬畏真主，因为真主的刑罚确是严厉的。

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。

如果他们否认你，你就说：“你们的主，是有广大的慈恩的；但无人能替犯罪的民众抵抗他的刑罚。”

他们顺从使者--不识字的先知，他们在自己所有的《讨拉特》和《引支勒》中发现关于他的记载。他命令他们行善，禁止他们作恶，准许他们吃佳美的食物，禁戒他们吃污秽的食物，卸脱他们的重担，解除他们的桎梏，故凡信仰他，尊重他，援助他，而且遵循与他一起降临的光明的人，都是成功者。

你向他们询问那个滨海城市的情况吧。当时他们在安息日违法乱纪。当时，每逢他们守安息日的时候，鱼儿就浮游到他们面前来；每逢他们不守安息日的时候，鱼儿就不到他们的面前来。由于他们不义的行为，我才这样考验他们。

当他们不采纳忠告的时候，我拯救了戒人作恶者，而以严刑惩罚不义者，因为他们犯了罪。

他们问你复活在什么时候实现，你说：“只有我的主知道，他将在什么时候实现。”你说：“只有我的主知道那个时候，只有他能在预定的时候显示它。它在天地间是重大的，它将突然降临你们。”他们问你，好像你对于它是很熟悉的，你说：“只有真主知道它在什么时候实现，但众人大半不知道（这个道理）。”

你要原谅，要劝导，要避开愚人。

他们问你战利品（应该归谁），你说：“战利品应该归真主和使者，你们应该敬畏真主，应该调停你们的纷争，应当服从真主及其使者，如果你们是信士。”

他们阻止别人入禁寺的时候，真主怎能不惩治他们呢？他们不是禁寺的保护者，禁寺的保护者只能是敬畏的人，但他们大半不知道。

伪信的男女，彼此是同类的，他们劝恶戒善，紧握双手，（不肯施舍），他们忘记了真主，主也忘记了他们。伪信者就是放肆者。

信道的男女互为保护人，他们劝善戒恶，谨守拜功，完纳天课，服从真主及其使者，这等人真主将怜悯他们。真主确是万能的，确是至睿的。

他们对你们发誓，以便你们喜欢他们。即使你们喜欢他们，（也无济于事），因为真主必定不喜欢放肆的民众。

他们是忏悔的，是拜主的，是赞主的，是斋戒的，是鞠躬的，是叩头的，是劝善的，是戒恶的，是遵守主的法度的；你要向信道的人们报喜。

在你们之前逝去的各世代中，有德者为何不禁止众人在地方上作恶？但他们中我所拯救的少数人除外。不义的人们追随他们所享受的豪华生活。他们是犯罪的人。

直到众使者绝望，而且猜想自己被欺骗的时候，我的援助才来临他们，而我拯救了我所意欲的人。我所加于犯罪的人们的惩罚是不可抗拒的。

监视每个灵魂的谋求者，难道像那不能监视的吗？他们为真主树立了许多伙伴，你说：“你们指出他们的名称吧。难道你们把真主在大地上所不知道的告诉他吗？不然，你们据浮辞而称他们为真主的伙伴。”不然，不信道者，已为自己的计谋所迷惑了。他们被阻挠而不能入正道。真主使谁迷误，谁就没有向导。

他们说：“难道我们没有禁止你与世人往来吗？”
