Allah disdains not to use the similitude of things, lowest as well as highest. Those who believe know that it is truth from their Lord; but those who reject Faith say: "What means Allah by this similitude?" By it He causes many to stray, and many He leads into the right path; but He causes not to stray, except those who forsake (the path),-

When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah Hath sent down, "they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us:" yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say: "Why then have ye slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?"

Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could Turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the Truth hath become Manifest unto them: But forgive and overlook, Till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah Hath power over all things.

We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.

The Truth is from thy Lord; so be not at all in doubt.

O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do.

The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.

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

But thy people reject this, though it is the truth. Say: "Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs;

It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): the day He saith, "Be," behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted (with all things).

The balance that day will be true (to nicety): those whose scale (of good) will be heavy, will prosper:

Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect.

Indeed they had plotted sedition before, and upset matters for thee, until,- the Truth arrived, and the Decree of Allah became manifest much to their disgust.

Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustainer: apart from truth, what (remains) but error? How then are ye turned away?

When the Truth did come to them from Us, they said: "This is indeed evident sorcery!"

If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.

Say: "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs."

Can they be (like) those who accept a Clear (Sign) from their Lord, and whom a witness from Himself doth teach, as did the Book of Moses before it,- a guide and a mercy? They believe therein; but those of the Sects that reject it,- the Fire will be their promised meeting-place. Be not then in doubt thereon: for it is the truth from thy Lord: yet many among men do not believe!

And Noah called upon his Lord, and said: "O my Lord! surely my son is of my family! and Thy promise is true, and Thou art the justest of Judges!"

All that we relate to thee of the stories of the messengers,- with it We make firm thy heart: in them there cometh to thee the Truth, as well as an exhortation and a message of remembrance to those who believe.

(The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "Allah preserve us! no evil know we against him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous).

A.L.M.R. These are the signs (or verses) of the Book: that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth; but most men believe not.

Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition;-

And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."

Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!

High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."

Then will the true promise draw nigh (of fulfilment): then behold! the eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! Woe to us! we were indeed heedless of this; nay, we truly did wrong!"

This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things.

And that those on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the Truth from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for verily Allah is the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Way.

That is because Allah - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke,- they are but vain Falsehood: verily Allah is He, Most High, Most Great.

真主的确不嫌以蚊子或更小的事物设任何譬喻；信道者，都知道那是从他们的主降示的真理；不信道者，却说：“真主设这个譬喻的宗旨是甚麽？”他以譬喻使许多人入迷途，也以譬喻使许多人上正路；但除悖逆者外，他不以譬喻使人入迷途。

有人对他们说：“你们应当信真主所降示的经典。”他们就说：“我们信我们所受的启示。”他们不信此後的经典，其实，这部经典是真实的，能证实他们所有的经典。你说：“如果你们是信道的人，以前你们为甚麽杀害众先知呢？”

信奉天经的人当中，有许多人惟愿使你们在继信道之後变成不信道者，这是因为他们在真理既明之後嫉视你们的缘故。但你们应当恕饶他们，原谅他们，直到真主发布命令。真主对於万事确是全能的。

我确已见你反复地仰视天空，故我必使你转向你所喜悦的朝向。你应当把你的脸转向禁寺。你们无论在那里，都应当把你们的睑转向禁寺。曾受天经者必定知道这是从他们的主降示的真理，真主绝不忽视他们的行为。

真理是从你的主降示的，故你绝不要怀疑。

信道的人们啊！你们彼此间成立定期借贷的时候，你们应当写一张借券，请一个会写字的人，秉公代写。代书人不得拒绝，当遵照真主所教他的方法而书写。由债务者口授，（他口授时），当敬畏真主──他的主──不要减少债额一丝毫。如果债务者是愚蠢的，或老弱的，或不能亲自口授的，那末，叫他的监护人秉公地替他口授。你们当从你们的男人中邀请两个人作证；如果没有两个男人，那末，从你们所认可的证人中请一个男人和两个女人作证。这个女人遗忘的时候，那个女人可以提醒她。证人被邀请的时候，不得拒绝。无论债额多寡，不可厌烦，都要写在借券上，并写明偿还的日期。在真主看来，这是最公平的，最易作证的，最可祛疑的。但你们彼此间的现款交易，虽不写买卖契约，对於你们是毫无罪过的。你们成立商业契约的时候，宜请证人，对代书者和作证者，不得加以妨害；否则，就是你们犯罪。你们应当敬畏真主，真主教诲你们，真主是全知万物的。

（这是）从你的主降示的真理，故你不要怀疑。

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。

这部经是真理，而你的宗族否认它。你说：“我不是监护你们的。”

他就是本真理而创造天地的。在那日，他说'有'，世界就有了。他的话就是真理。吹号角之日，国权只是他的。他知道幽明，他是至睿的，是彻知的。”

在那日，称（功过薄）是真实的。善功的分量较重者才是成功的。

于是，真理昭著，而他们所演的魔术变成无用的。

从前他们确已图谋离间，他们千方百计地想谋害你，直到真理降临，真主的事业获得了胜利，同时他们是憎恶的。

那是真主，你们的真实的主宰。在真理之外，除了迷误还有什么呢？你们怎么颠倒是非呢？”

当从我这儿发出的真理降临他们的时候，他们说：“这确是明显的魔术。”

假若你怀疑我所降示你的经典，你就问问那些常常诵读在你之前所降示的天经的人们。从你的主发出的真理，确已降临你，故你切莫居于怀疑者的行列，

你说：“众人呀！从你们的主发出的真理，确已降临你们。谁遵循正道，谁自受其益；谁误入歧途，谁自受其害，我不是监护你们的。”

难道这等人还不如别的人吗？他们依据从他们的主降示的明证，而且他们的主所派遣的见证已继那明证而来临，在那明证之前还有穆萨的经典，那是真主所降赐的指南和慈恩。这等人是坚信那明证的。各党派中谁不信那明证，火狱将是谁的约定的地方。所以你们不要怀疑它，它确是你的主所降示的真理，但人们大半不信。

努哈祈祷他的主说：“我的主啊！我的儿子是我的亲人，你的诺言是真实的，你是最公正的判决者。”

关于使者们的消息，我把它告诉你，用来安定你的心。在这些消息中，真理以及对信士们的训戒和记念已降临你了。

国王说：“你们勾引优素福的时候，你们的实情是什么？”她们说：“啊呀！我们不知道他有一点罪过。”权贵的妻子说：“现在真相大白了，是我勾引他，他确是诚实的人。”

艾列弗，俩目，米目，拉仪。这些是天经的节文。从你的主降示于你的经典，确是真实的，但众人大半不信。

从你的主降示你的，正是真理，难道认识这个道理者跟盲人是一样的吗？唯有理智菩才能记住。

你说：“真理已来临了，虚妄已消灭了；虚妄确是易灭的。”

你说：“真理是从你们的主降示的，谁愿信道就让他信吧，谁不愿信道，就让他不信吧。”我已为不义的人，预备了烈火，那烈火的烟幕将笼罩他们。如果他们（为乾渴而）求救，就以一种水供他们解渴，那种水像沥青那样烧灼人面，那饮料真糟糕！那归宿真恶劣！

真主是超绝万物，宰制众生，体用真实的。 对你启示《古兰经》还没有完全的时候，你不要急忙诵读。你说：“我的主啊！求你增加我的知识。”

真实的应许将近了，不信道者突然瞪着眼睛（说）：”悲哉我们！ 我们对于今天曾是疏忽的。不然，我们是不义的。”

这是因为真主是真宰，他能使死者复生，他对于万事是全能的。

（他这样做）以便有学识者知道那是从你的主降示的真理，因为他们信仰它，而他们对他心怀谦逊。真主必定要反信道者引上正路。

这是因为真主是真实的，他们舍真主而祈祷的（偶像）是虚妄的； 又因为真主是至尊的，是至大的。
