Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day;" but they do not (really) believe.

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."

Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Nay, those who seek gain in evil, and are girt round by their sins,- they are companions of the Fire: Therein shall they abide (For ever).

After this it is ye, the same people, who slay among yourselves, and banish a party of you from their homes; assist (Their enemies) against them, in guilt and rancour; and if they come to you as captives, ye ransom them, though it was not lawful for you to banish them. Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest? but what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life?- and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.

Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases: Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith.

Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe,-

Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael,- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.

It is never the wish of those without Faith among the People of the Book, nor of the Pagans, that anything good should come down to you from your Lord. But Allah will choose for His special Mercy whom He will - for Allah is Lord of grace abounding.

And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."

Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to Allah and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

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)!"

And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.

The fools among the people will say: "What hath turned them from the Qibla to which they were used?" Say: To Allah belong both east and West: He guideth whom He will to a Way that is straight.

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.

Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with Allah): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty.

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter.

And there are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!"

There is the type of man whose speech about this world's life May dazzle thee, and he calls Allah to witness about what is in his heart; yet is he the most contentious of enemies.

And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah: And Allah is full of kindness to (His) devotees.

The life of this world is alluring to those who reject faith, and they scoff at those who believe. But the righteous will be above them on the Day of Resurrection; for Allah bestows His abundance without measure on whom He will.

Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He will to a path that is straight.

When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their ('Iddat), do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on equitable terms. This instruction is for all amongst you, who believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is (the course Making for) most virtue and purity amongst you and Allah knows, and ye know not.

Their Prophet said to them: "Allah hath appointed Talut as king over you." They said: "How can he exercise authority over us when we are better fitted than he to exercise authority, and he is not even gifted, with wealth in abundance?" He said: "Allah hath Chosen him above you, and hath gifted him abundantly with knowledge and bodily prowess: Allah Granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."

Those messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His plan.

He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding.

It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.

有些人说：“我们已信真主和末日了。”其实，他们绝不是信士。

当时，你的主对众天神说：“我必定在大地上设置一个代理人。”他们说：“我们赞你超绝，我们赞你清净，你还要在大地上设置作恶和流血者吗？”他说：“我知道你们所不知道的。”

信道者、犹太教徒、基督教徒、拜星教徒，凡信真主和末日，并且行善的，将来在主那里必得享受自己的报酬，他们将来没有恐惧，也不忧愁。

不然，凡作恶而为其罪孽所包罗者，都是火狱的居民，他们将永居其中。

然後，你们自相残杀，而且把一部分同族的人逐出境外，你们同恶相济，狼狈为奸地对付他们──如果他们被俘来归，你们却替他们赎身──驱逐他们，在你们是犯法的行为。你们确信经典里的一部分律例，而不信别一部分吗？你们中作此事者，其报酬不外在今世生活中受辱，在复活日，被判受最严厉的刑罚。真主绝不忽视你们的行为。

他们因真主把他的恩惠降给他所意欲的仆人，故他们心怀嫉妒，因而不信真主所降示的经典；他们为此而出卖自己，他们所得的代价真恶劣。故他们应受加倍的谴怒。不信道者，将受凌辱的刑罚。

你说：“凡仇视吉卜利里的，都是因为他奉真主的命令把启示降在你的心上，以证实古经，引导世人，并向信士们报喜。

凡仇视真主、众天神、众使者，以及吉卜利里和米卡里的，须知真主是仇视不信道的人们的。”

不信道者──信奉天经的和以物配主的──都不愿有任何福利从你们的主降於你们。真主把他的慈恩专赐给他所意欲的人，真主是有宏恩的。

他们说：“除犹太教徒和基督教徒外，别的人绝不得入乐园。”这是他们的妄想。你说：“如果你们是诚实的，那末，你们拿出证据来吧！”

不然，凡全体归顺真主，而且行善者，将在主那里享受报酬，他们将来没有恐惧，也没有忧愁。

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！”

除妄自菲薄者外，谁愿鄙弃易卜拉欣的宗教呢？在今世，我确已拣选了他；在後世，他必居於善人之列。

一般愚人将说：“他们为甚麽要背弃他们原来所对的朝向呢？”你说：“东方和西方，都是真主的，他把他所意欲的人引上正路。”

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。

有些人，在真主之外，别有崇拜，当做真主的匹敌；他们敬爱那些匹敌，象敬爱真主一样──信道的人们，对於敬爱真主，尤为恳挚──当不义的人，看见刑罚的时候，假若他们知道一切权力都是真主的，真主是刑罚严厉的……。

你们把自己的脸转向东方和西方，都不是正义。正义是信真主，信末日，信天神，信天经，信先知，并将所爱的财产施济亲戚、孤儿、贫民、旅客、乞丐和赎取奴隶，并谨守拜功，完纳天课，履行约言，忍受穷困、患难和战争。这等人，确是忠贞的；这等人，确是敬畏的。

你们在举行朝觐的典礼之後，当记念真主，犹如记念你们的祖先一样，或记念得更多些。有人说：“我们的主啊！求你在今世赏赐我们。”他在後世，绝无福分。

有人说：“我们的主啊！求你在今世赏赐我们美好的（生活），在後世也赏赐我们美好的（生活），求你保护我们，免受火狱的刑罚。”

有人谈论今世的生活，他的言论，使你赞叹，他还求真主作证他的存心。其实，他是最强悍的仇敌。

有人为求真主的喜悦而自愿捐躯。真主是仁爱众仆的。

不信道的人，为今世的生活所迷惑，他们嘲笑信道者，复活日，敬畏者将在他们之上；真主将无量地供给他所意欲者。

世人原是一个民族，嗣後，他们信仰分歧，故真主派众先知作报喜者和警告者，且降示他们包含真理的经典，以便他为世人判决他们所争论的是非。惟曾受天经的人，在明证降临之後，为互相嫉妒，而对天经意见分歧，故真主依自己的意旨而引导信道的人，俾得明了他们所争论的真理。真主引导他所意欲的人走上正路。

如果你们休妻，而她们待婚期满，那末，当她们与人依礼而互相同意的时候，你们不要阻止她们嫁给她们的丈夫。这是用来规劝你们中确信真主和後世的人的。这对於你们是更有益的，是更纯洁的。真主知道，你们却不知道。

他们的先知对他们说：“真主确已为你们立塔鲁特为国王了。”他们说：“他怎麽配做我们的国王呢？我们是比他更配做国王的，况且他没有丰富的财产。”他说：“真主确已选他为你们的领袖，并且加赐他渊博的学识和健壮的体魄。”真主常常把国权赏赐自己所意欲的人。真主是宽大的，全知的。

这些使者，我使他们的品格互相超越；他们中有真主曾和他们说话的，有真主提升他若干等级的。我曾以许多明证赏赐麦尔彦之子尔撤，并且以玄灵扶助他。假若真主意欲，他们的信徒在明证降临之後，必不互相残杀，但他们意见分歧，他们中有信道的，有不信道的。假若真主意欲，他们必不互相攻击，但真主是为所欲为的。

他以智慧赋予他所意欲的人；谁禀赋智慧，谁确已获得许多福利。惟有理智的人，才会觉悟。

引导他们，不是你的责任，但真主引导他所意欲的人。你们所施舍的任何美物，都是有利於你们自己的，你们只可为求真主的喜悦而施舍。你们所施舍的任何美物，你们都将享受完全的报酬，你们不受亏枉。
