But the transgressors changed the word from that which had been given them; so We sent on the transgressors a plague from heaven, for that they infringed (Our command) repeatedly.

There is no blame on you if ye make an offer of betrothal or hold it in your hearts. Allah knows that ye cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract with them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie of marriage till the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah Knoweth what is in your hearts, and take heed of Him; and know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

To those weak of understanding Make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice.

But if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.

Let those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own if they had left a helpless family behind: Let them fear Allah, and speak words of appropriate (comfort).

Those men,-Allah knows what is in their hearts; so keep clear of them, but admonish them, and speak to them a word to reach their very souls.

But the transgressors among them changed the word from that which had been given them so we sent on them a plague from heaven. For that they repeatedly transgressed.

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.

And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.

Has then your Lord (O Pagans!) preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself daughters among the angels? Truly ye utter a most dreadful saying!

Until, when he reached (a tract) between two mountains, he found, beneath them, a people who scarcely understood a word.

"But speak to him mildly; perchance he may take warning or fear (Allah)."

Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?

On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.

O Consorts of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the (other) women: if ye do fear (Allah), be not too complacent of speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a speech (that is) just.

O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and (always) say a word directed to the Right:

"Peace!" - a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?

Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.

但不义的人改变了他们所奉的嘱言，故我降天灾於不义者，那是由於他们的犯罪。

你们用含蓄的言词，向待婚的妇女求婚，或将你们的意思隐藏在心里，对於你们都是毫无罪过的。真主已知道你们不久要向她们提及婚约，（故准你们对她们有所表示），但不要与她们订密约，只可说合理的话；不要缔结婚约，直到守制满期。你们当晓得真主知道你们的心事，故你们当防备他；并当知道真主是至赦的，是至容的。

你们的财产，本是真主给你们用来维持生计的，你们不要把它交给愚人， 你们当以财产的利润供给他们的衣食。你们当对他们主温和的言语。

析产的时候，如有亲戚、孤儿、贫民在场，你们当以一部分遗产周济他们，并对他们说温和的言语。

假若自己遗下幼弱的后裔，自己就会为他们而忧愁；这等人，应当也为别人的孤儿而忧虑，应当敬畏真主，应当对临终的病人说正当的话。

这等人，真主是知道他们的心事的，故你当宽恕他们，当劝戒他们，当对他们说惊心动魄的话。

但他们中不义者改变了他们所奉的嘱言，故我因他们的不义而降天灾于他们。

你的主曾下令说：你们应当只崇拜他，应当孝敬父母。如果他俩中的一人或者两人在你的堂上达到老迈，那末，你不要对他俩说：“呸！”不要喝斥他俩，你应当对他俩说有礼貌的话。

如果你必须求得你所希望的从主降示的恩惠后才能周济他们，那末，你应该对他们说温和的话。

难道你们的主把男儿赏赐你们，而以众天神为自己的女儿吗？你们的确说出荒谬的话。

一直到他到达了两山之间的时候，他发现前面有一种人，几乎不懂（他的）话。

你俩对他说话要温和，或许他会记取教诲，或者有所畏惧。

那头牛犊不能回答他们的问话，也不能主持他们的祸福，难道他们不知道吗？

在那日，除至仁主所特许而且喜爱其言论者外，一切说情，都没有功效。

先知的妻子们啊！你们不象别的任何妇女，如果你们敬畏真主，就不要说温柔的话，以免心中有病的人，贪恋你们；你们应当说庄重的话。

信士们啊！你们应当敬畏真主，应当说正话。

“平安！”这是从至慈主发出的祝辞。

召人信仰真主，力行善功，并且说：“我确是穆斯林”的人，在言辞方面，有谁比他更优美呢？

我必定以庄严的言辞授予你，
