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.

Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? they encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Messenger and those of faith who were with him cried: "When (will come) the help of Allah?" Ah! Verily, the help of Allah is (always) near!

The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys."

We sent not a messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful.

O Mankind! The Messenger hath come to you in truth from Allah: believe in him: It is best for you. But if ye reject Faith, to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: And Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.

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.

O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.

But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.

So the king said: "Bring ye him unto me." But when the messenger came to him, (Joseph) said: "Go thou back to thy lord, and ask him, 'What is the state of mind of the ladies who cut their hands'? For my Lord is certainly well aware of their snare."

And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!

Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense."

"Nay, ye thought that the Messenger and the Believers would never return to their families; this seemed pleasing in your hearts, and ye conceived an evil thought, for ye are a people lost (in wickedness)."

What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah; for Allah is strict in Punishment.

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。

你们还没有遭遇前人所遭遇的患难，就猜想自己得入乐园了吗？前人曾遭受穷困和患难，曾受震惊，甚至使者和信道的人都说：“真主的援助甚麽时候降临呢？”真的，真主的援助，确是临近的。

使者确信主所降示他的经典，信士们也确信那部经典，他们人人都确信真主和他的众天神，一切经典和众使者。（他们说）：”我们对於他的任何使者，都不加以歧视。”他们说：“我们听从了，我们恳求你赦宥；我们的主啊！你是最後的归宿。”

我派遣使者，只为要人奉真主的命令而服从他。他们自欺的时候，假若他们来见你，而且向真主求饶，使者也替他们求饶，那末，他们必发现真主是至宥的，是至慈的。

众人啊！使者确已昭示你们从你们的主降示的真理，故你们当确信他，这对于你们是有益的。如果你们不信道，（那末，真主是无需求你们的），因为天地万物，确是真主的。真主是全知的，是至睿的。

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。

使者啊!你当传达你的主所降示你的全部经典。如果你不这样做，那末，你就是没有传达他的使命。真主将保佑你免遭众人的杀害。真主必定不引导不信道的民众。

但使者和他的信士们，借自己的财产和生命而奋斗；这等人正是有福的，这等人正是成功的。

国王说：“你们带他来见我吧！”当使者到来的时候，他说：“请你回去问问你的主人，曾经把自己的手割伤了的那些妇女，现在是怎样的？我的主是全知她们的诡计的。”

你们应当为真主而真实地奋斗。他拣选你们，关于宗教的事，他未曾以任何烦难为你们的义务，你们应当遵循你们的祖先易卜拉欣的宗教，以前真主称你们为穆斯林，在这部经典里他也称你们为穆斯林，以便使者为你们作证，而你们为世人作证。你们当谨守拜功，完纳天课，信托真主；他是你们的主宰，主宰真好！助者真好！

使者曾说：“我的主啊！我的宗族以这《古兰经》为弃物。”

你们猜想使者和信士们永不回家了，你们的心为这猜想所迷惑，你们作不善的猜想，你们是将灭亡的民众。”

城市的居民的逆产，凡真主收归使者的，都归真主、使者、至亲、孤儿、贫民和旅客，以免那些逆产，成为在你们中富豪之间周转的东西。凡使者给你们的，你们都应当接受；凡使者禁止你们的，你们都应当戒除。你们应当敬畏真主，真主确是刑罚严厉的。
