But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before," for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (for ever).

Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

And remember Abraham said: "My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and feed its people with fruits,-such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day." He said: "(Yea), and such as reject Faith,-for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!"

Right graciously did her Lord accept her: He made her grow in purity and beauty: To the care of Zakariya was she assigned. Every time that he entered (Her) chamber to see her, He found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Mary! Whence (comes) this to you?" She said: "From Allah: for Allah Provides sustenance to whom He pleases without measure."

"'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"

This is the true account: There is no god except Allah; and Allah-He is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

"Yea, - if ye remain firm, and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand angels Making a terrific onslaught.

Here is a plain statement to men, a guidance and instruction to those who fear Allah!

What! When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- "Whence is this?" Say (to them): "It is from yourselves: For Allah hath power over all things."

Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire.

Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" said he; "Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" then he became full of regrets-

O Messenger! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and places: they say, "If ye are given this, take it, but if not, beware!" If any one's trial is intended by Allah, thou hast no authority in the least for him against Allah. For such - it is not Allah's will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.

Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'

Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home: Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah: That is the great salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires).

If We had sent unto thee a written (message) on parchment, so that they could touch it with their hands, the Unbelievers would have been sure to say: "This is nothing but obvious magic!"

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."

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."

If thou couldst but see when they are confronted with their Lord! He will say: "Is not this the truth?" They will say: "Yea, by our Lord!" He will say: "Taste ye then the penalty, because ye rejected Faith."

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."

When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."

When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.

When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.

"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.

Out of what Allah hath produced in abundance in tilth and in cattle, they assigned Him a share: they say, according to their fancies: "This is for Allah, and this" - for our "partners"! but the share of their" partners "reacheth not Allah, whilst the share of Allah reacheth their "partners" ! evil (and unjust) is their assignment!

Say: "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that Allah did forbid so and so." If they bring such witnesses, be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain desires of such as treat our signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter: for they hold others as equal with their Guardian-Lord.

Verily, this is My way, leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He command you. that ye may be righteous.

"Such as took their religion to be mere amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of the world." That day shall We forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as they were wont to reject Our signs.

Said the Chiefs of the people of Pharaoh: "This is indeed a sorcerer well-versed.

Said Pharaoh: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this is a trick which ye have planned in the city to drive out its people: but soon shall ye know (the consequences).

After them succeeded an (evil) generation: They inherited the Book, but they chose (for themselves) the vanities of this world, saying (for excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven us." (Even so), if similar vanities came their way, they would (again) seize them. Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them, that they would not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? and they study what is in the Book. But best for the righteous is the home in the Hereafter. Will ye not understand?

你当向信道而行善的人报喜；他们将享有许多下临诸河的乐园，每当他们得以园里的一种水果为给养的时候，他们都说：“这是我们以前所受赐的。”其实，他们所受赐的是类似的。他们在乐园里将享有纯洁的配偶，他们将永居其中。

哀哉！他们亲手写经，然後说：“这是真主所降示的。”他们欲借此换取些微的代价。哀哉！他们亲手所写的。哀哉！他们自己所营谋的。

当时，易卜拉欣说：“我的主啊！求你使这里变成安宁的地方，求你以各种粮食供给这里的居民──他们中信真主和末日的人。”他说：“不信道者，我将使他暂时享受，然後强逼他去受火刑。那结果真恶劣！”

她的主接受了她，并使她健全的成长，且使宰凯里雅抚育她。宰凯里雅每次进内殿去看她，都发现她面前有给养，他说：“麦尔彦啊！你怎么会有这个呢？她说：“这是从我的主那里降下的。”真主必定无量地供给他的意欲的人。

真主确是我的主，也是你们的主，故你们应当崇拜他。这是正路。

这确是真实的故事。除真主外，绝无应受崇拜的。真主确是万能的，确是至睿的。

不然，如果你们坚忍，并且敬畏，而敌人立刻来攻你们，那末，你们的主，将使袭击的天神五千来援助你们。”

这是对于世人的一种宣示，也是对于敬畏者的一种向导和教训。

你们所遭受的损失，只有你们所加给敌人的损失的一半，你们怎么还说：“这是从哪里来的呢?”你说：“这是你们自作自受的。”真主对于万事确是全能的。

他们站着，坐着，躺着记念真主，并思维天地的创造，（他们说）：”我们的主啊！你没有徒然地创造这个世界。我们赞颂你超绝万物，求你保护我们，免受火狱的刑罚。

真主使一只乌鸦来掘地，以便指示他怎样掩埋他弟弟的尸体。他说：“伤哉！我怎不能像这只乌鸦那样，把我弟弟的尸体掩埋起来呢？”于是，他变成悔恨的人。

使者啊!那些口称信道，而内心不信的人，和原奉犹太教的人，他们中都有争先叛道的人，你不要为他们的叛道而忧愁。（他们）是为造谣而倾听（你的言论）的，是替别的民众而探听（消息）的，那些民众，没有来看你，他们篡改经文，他们说：“如果给你们这个（判决），你们就可以接受；如果不给你们这个，就慎勿接受。”真主要惩罚谁，你绝不能为谁干涉真主一丝毫。这等人，真主不欲洗涤他们的心；他们在今世要受凌辱，在后世要受重大的刑罚。

那时，真主将说麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你当记忆我所赐你和你母亲的恩典。当时，我曾以玄灵扶助你，你在摇篮里，在壮年时，对人说话。当时，我曾教你书法、智慧、《讨拉特》和《引支勒》。当时，你奉我的命令，用泥捏一只像鸟样的东西，你吹气在里面，它就奉我的命令而飞动。你曾奉我的命令而治疗天然盲和大麻疯。你又奉我的命令而使死人复活。当时，我曾阻止以色列的后裔伤害你。当时，你曾昭示他们许多迹象，他们中不信道的人说：“这只是明显的魔术。”

真主将说：“这确是诚实有裨于诚实人的日子。他们得享受下临诸河的乐园，而永居其中。真主喜悦他们，他们也喜悦他。这确是伟大的成功。”

假若我把一部写在纸上的经典降示你，而他们用手抚摩它，那末，不信道的人必定说：“这只是明显的魔术。”

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。”

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。”

当他们奉命站在他们的主那里的时候，假若你看见他们的情状……。真主将说：“难道这不是真实的吗？”他们将说：“不然，以我们的主发誓！”他将说：“你们尝试刑罚吧，因为你们从前不信它。”

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。”

当他看见月亮升起的时候，他说：“这是我的主。”当月亮没落的时候，他说：“如果我的主没有引导我，那末，我必定会成为迷误者。”

当地看见太阳升起的时候，他说：“这是我的主；这是更大的。”当太阳没落的时候，他说：“我的宗族啊！我对于你们所用来配主的事物，是无关系的。

”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。

他们把真主所创造的农产和牲畜，一份供献真主，（一份供献偶像），他们妄言：”这是真主的，这是我们的配主的。”供献他们的配主的，不能拨归真主；供献真主的，却可以拨归他们的配主。他们的决定真恶劣！

你说：“曾见真主戒食此类禁物的见证，你们把他们召来吧！”如果他们作证，那末，你不要与他们一同作证。那些既否认我的迹象，又不信后世，而且以物配主的人，你不要顺从他们的私欲。

这确是我的正路，故你们当遵循它；你们不要遵循邪路，以免那些邪路使你们离开真主的大道。他将这些事嘱咐你们，以便你们敬畏。

曾以宗教为娱乐和嬉戏，而且为尘世所欺骗者，我今天忘记他们，因为他们曾忘记有今日之相遇，还因为他们否认我的迹象。

法老的百姓中的众领袖说：“这确是一个高明的术士，

法老说：“没有获得我的许可，你们怎么就信仰了他呢？这一定是你们在城里预谋的，想借此把这城里的居民驱逐出去；不久你们就会知道了。

在他们死亡之后，有不肖的后裔代替他们而继承了天经，那些后裔攫取今世浮利，还说：“我们将蒙饶恕。”如果有同样的浮利来到他们的身边，他们还将攫取。难道天经中没有明文教导他们只能以真理归于真主吗？难道他们没有诵习过那些明文吗？后世的安宅，对于敬畏者是更优美的。难道你们不理解吗？
