and (a place of) security
for those who circumambulate
and those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayer
and those who prostrate.'
they (would) not have done it,
and We have beautified it
So let them not dispute with you
surely He (could) have made it
while are being taken away
Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).
Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.
To (benefit) every one, We have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parents and relatives. To those, also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion. For truly Allah is witness to all things.
Others you will find that wish to gain your confidence as well as that of their people: Every time they are sent back to temptation, they succumb thereto: if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them: In their case We have provided you with a clear argument against them.
To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;
Likewise did We make for every Messenger an enemy,- evil ones among men and jinns, inspiring each other with flowery discourses by way of deception. If thy Lord had so planned, they would not have done it: so leave them and their inventions alone.
Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot (and burrow) therein: but they only plot against their own souls, and they perceive it not.
O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.
When Our Decree issued, We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer,-
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;
If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected.
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).
When thou dost recite the Qur'an, We put, between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter, a veil invisible:
Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about: We granted the vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men,- as also the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an: We put terror (and warning) into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!
That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
Set forth to them the parable of two men: for one of them We provided two gardens of grape-vines and surrounded them with date palms; in between the two We placed corn-fields.
And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his Lord, but turns away from them, forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this, and over their ears, deafness, if thou callest them to guidance, even then will they never accept guidance.
When he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides Allah, We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and each one of them We made a prophet.
We granted not to any man before thee permanent life (here): if then thou shouldst die, would they live permanently?
And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, (a grandson), Jacob, and We made righteous men of every one (of them).
To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food). But your god is One God: submit then your wills to Him (in Islam): and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves,-
To every People have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow: let them not then dispute with thee on the matter, but do thou invite (them) to thy Lord: for thou art assuredly on the Right Way.
Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help.
Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord?- How He doth prolong the shadow! If He willed, He could make it stationary! then do We make the sun its guide;
See they not that We have made the Night for them to rest in and the Day to give them light? Verily in this are Signs for any people that believe!
Do they not then see that We have made a sanctuary secure, and that men are being snatched away from all around them? Then, do they believe in that which is vain, and reject the Grace of Allah?
We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.

当时,我以天房为众人的归宿地和安宁地。你们当以易卜拉欣的立足地为礼拜处。我命易卜拉欣和易司马仪说:“你们俩应当为旋绕致敬者、虔诚住守者、鞠躬叩头者,清洁我的房屋。”
我这样以你们为中正的民族,以便你们作证世人,而使者作证你们。我以你原来所对的方向为朝向,只为辨别谁是顺从使者的,谁是背叛的。这确是一件难事,但在真主所引导的人,却不难。真主不致使你们的信仰徒劳无酬。真主对於世人,确是至爱的,确是至慈的。
我为男女所遗产每一份财产而规定继承人,即父母和至亲,以及你们曾与她们缔结婚约的人,你们应当把这些继承人的应继份额交给他们。真主确是见证万物的。
你们将发现别的许多人,想从你们获得安全,也想从他们的宗族获得安全;他们每逢被召于迫害,他们都冒昧地参加。如果他们不退避你们,不投降你们,不停止作战,那末,你们在那里发现他们,就当在那里捕杀他们。这等人,对于制裁他们,我已经把一个明证授予你们了。
我降示你这部包含真理的经典,以证实以前的一切天经,而监护之。故你当依真主所降示的经典而为他们判决,你不要舍弃降临你的真理而顺从他们的私欲。我已为你们中每一个民族制定一种教律和法程。如果真主意欲,他必使你们变成一个民族。但他把你们分成许多民族,以便他考验你们能不能遵守他所赐予你们的教律和法程。故你们当争先为善。你们全体都要归于真主,他要把你们所争论的是非告诉你们。
我这样以人类和精灵中的恶魔为-个先知的仇敌,他们为了欺骗而以花言巧语互相讽示--假若你的主意欲,那么,他们不做这件事,故你应当任他们伪造谎言--
我这样使-个城市都有一些罪魁,以便他们在那里用计谋;其实,他们的计谋,只害自己,但他们不自觉。
阿丹的子孙啊!绝不要让恶魔考验你们。犹如他把你们的始祖父母的衣服脱下,而揭示他俩自己的阴部,然后把他俩诱出乐园。他和他的部下,的确能看见你们;而你们却不能看见他们。我确已使恶魔成为不信道者的盟友。
当我的命令降临的时候,我使那个市镇天翻地覆,我使预定的连续的陶石像雨点般地降落在他们身上。
我确已在天上创造了(十二)宫,我为观察者而修饰天空。
凡欲获得现世生活者,我将在现世以我所意欲的报答他们中我所意欲者。然后,我将以火狱惩治他们,他们将受责备,遭弃绝地进入火狱。
你们不要违背真主的禁令而杀人,除非因为正义。无辜而被杀者,我已把权柄授予他的亲戚,但他们不可滥杀,他们确是受援助的。
当你们诵读《古兰经》的时候,我在你们和不信后世者之间安置一道隐微的屏障。
当时我曾对你说:“你的主是周知众人的。我所昭示你的梦兆和在《古兰经》里被诅咒的那棵树,我只以这两件事物考验众人,并加以恫吓,但我的恫吓只使他们更加蛮横。”
我确已使大地上的一切事物成为大地的装饰品,以便我考验世人,看谁的工作是最优美的。
你以两个人的情况为他们打一个比喻。我为其中的一个人创造了两个葡萄园,而围以椰枣林,并且以两园之间的地方为耕地。
有人以主的迹象教诲他们,但他们鄙弃它,并且忘记他们以前所犯的罪恶;有谁比他们还不义呢?我确已将薄膜加在他们的心上,以免他们了解经义,并且在他们的耳里造重听。如果你召他们于正道,那末,他们将永不遵循正道。
他既退避他们,以及他们舍真主而祈祷的,我就赏赐他易司哈格和叶尔孤白,我使他俩成为先知,
在你之前的任何人,我没有为他注定长生,如果你死了,难道他们能够长生吗?
我赏赐他易司哈格,又增赐他叶尔孤白,我使他们都变成善人。
我为每个民族制定一种供献的仪式, 以便他们记念真主之名而屠宰他所赐他们的牲畜。你们的神明是独一的神明,故你们应当只归顺他。你应当以喜讯传示谦恭者。
我为每个民族制定一种供献仪式,让他们有的遵循,绝不是让他们为这事与你争论。你应当召唤众人来崇拜你的主,你确是在正路上的。
我这样使每个先知,都有一些罪人做他的仇敌,你的主足为引导者和援助者。
难道你没有看见你的主怎样伸展阴影吗?假若他意欲, 他必定使阴影成为静止的。我以太阳为其标志,
难道他们不知道吗?我以黑夜做他们的安息时间,以白昼做他们观看的时间,对于信道的民众其中确有许多迹象。
难道他们没有知道吗?我曾以他们的城市为安宁的禁地,而他们四周的居民被人劫掠。难道他们确信邪神,而孤负真主的恩惠吗?
我确已把枷锁放在他们的脖子上,那些枷锁达到下巴,所以他们不能低头。
我只将管理火狱的成天神,我只以他们的数目,考验不信道的人们,以便曾受天经的人们认清,而信道的人们更加笃信;以免曾受天经的人们和信道的人们怀疑;以便心中有病者和不信道者说:“真主设这个譬喻做什么?”真主这样使他所意欲的人误入迷途,使他所意欲的人遵循正路。只有你的主,能知道他的军队,这只是人类的教训。
