Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.

When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe:" They say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know.

And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you:" (But they rebelled); to us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not.

Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts; and He is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

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.

When Abraham said: "Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead, " He replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart." Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops, then call them back. They will come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is Mighty, Wise."

Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.

It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places, and say: "We hear and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not Heard"; and "Ra'ina"; with a twist of their tongues and a slander to Faith. If only they had said: "What hear and we obey"; and "Do hear"; and "Do look at us"; it would have been better for them, and more proper; but Allah hath cursed them for their Unbelief; and but few of them will believe.

That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-

O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favour to you, that ye may be grateful.

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;

Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths, but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation, feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs, that ye may be grateful.

When the suffering reached them from us, why then did they not learn humility? On the contrary their hearts became hardened, and Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them.

On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may (learn to) fear Allah.

He will say: "Enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Saith the last about the first: "Our Lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all" : but this ye do not understand.

So Salih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counsellors!"

If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them (All kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth), and We brought them to book for their misdeeds.

We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But (thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah, "If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you": They would destroy their own souls; for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying.

If they had intended to come out, they would certainly have made some preparation therefor; but Allah was averse to their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind, and they were told, "Sit ye among those who sit (inactive)."

Hath not the story reached them of those before them?- the People of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud; the People of Abraham, the men of Midian, and the cities overthrown. To them came their messengers with clear signs. It is not Allah Who wrongs them, but they wrong their own souls.

This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds.

Say: "O ye men! If ye are in doubt as to my religion, (behold!) I worship not what ye worship, other than Allah! But I worship Allah - Who will take your souls (at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers,

It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition!

There is, in their stories, instruction for men endued with understanding. It is not a tale invented, but a confirmation of what went before it,- a detailed exposition of all things, and a guide and a mercy to any such as believe.

Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.

真的，他们确是作恶者，但他们不觉悟。

有人对他们说：“你们应当象众人那样信道。”他们就说：“我们能象愚人那样轻信吗？”真的，他们确是愚人，但他们不知道。

我曾使白云荫蔽你们，又降甘露和鹌鹑给你们。你们可以吃我所供给你们的佳美食物。他们没有损害我，但他们自欺。

为主道而被戕害的人，你们不要说他们是死的；其实，他们是活的，但你们不知觉。

真主不为无意的誓言而责备你们，但为有意的誓言而责备你们。真主是至赦的，是至容的。

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。

当时，易卜拉欣说：“我的主啊！求你昭示我你怎样使死人复活。”真主说：“难道你不信吗？”他说：“不然，（我要求实验）以便我的心安定。”真主说：“你取四只鸟，使它们倾向你，然後，在每座山上安置它们中的一部分，然後，你叫唤它们，它们就飞到你的面前来。你当知道真主是万能的，是至睿的。”

易卜拉欣既不是犹太教徒，也不是基督教徒。他是一个崇信正教、归顺真主的人，他不是以物配主的人。

一个人既蒙真主赏赐经典，智慧和预言，他不至对世人说：“你们做我的奴仆，不要做真主的奴仆。”但（他必说）：“你们当做崇拜造物主的人，因为你们教授天经，诵习天经。”

他们在今世生活中所施舍的，譬如寒风吹向自欺的民众的禾稼上，就把它毁灭了。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们自欺。

犹太教徒中有一群人篡改经文，他们说：“我们听而不从”，”愿你听而不闻”，“拉仪那”，这是因为巧方谩骂，诽谤正教。假若他们说：“我们既听且从”，“你听吧”，”温助尔那”，这对他们是更好的，是更正的。但真主因他们不信道而弃绝他们，故他们除少数人外都不信道。

又因为他们说：“我们确已杀死麦尔彦之子麦西哈.尔撒，真主的使者。”他们没有杀死他，也没有把他钉死在十字架上，但他们不明白这件事的真相。为尔撒而争论的人，对于他的被杀害，确是在迷惑之中。他们对于这件事，毫无认识，不过根据猜想罢了。他们没能确实地杀死他。

信道的人们啊!当你们起身去礼拜的时候,你们当洗脸和手,洗至于两肘,当摩头,当洗脚,洗至两踝。如果你们是不洁的，你们就当洗周身。如果你们害病或旅行，或从厕所来，或与妇女交接，而得不到水，你们就当趋向清洁的地面，而用一部分土摩脸和手。真主不欲使你们烦难，但他欲使你们清洁，并完成他所赐你们的恩典，以便你们感谢。

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。

真主不为无意的誓言而责备你们，却为有意的誓言而责备你们。破坏誓言的罚金，是按自己家属的中等食量，供给十个贫民一餐的口粮，或以衣服赠送他们，或释放一个奴隶。无力济贫或释奴的人，当斋戒三日。这是你们发誓后破坏誓言时的罚金。你们应当信守自己的誓言。真主为你们如此阐明他的迹象，以便你们感谢他。

当我的惩罚降临的时候，他们为什么不谦逊呢？但他们的心坚硬，恶魔以他们的行为迷惑他们。

敬畏的人，对于不义者的受清算，毫无关系，但须劝戒（他们），他们或许敬畏。

真主将要说：“你们同精灵和人类中以前逝去的各民族一起进入火狱吧。”每当一个民族进火狱去，总要咒骂她的姐妹民族，直到他们统统到齐了。他们中后进的论及先进的说：“我们的主啊！这等人曾使我们迷误，求你使他们受加倍的火刑。”主说：“-个人都受加倍的火刑，但你们不知道。”

于是，他离开他们，并且说：“我的宗族啊！我确已把我的主的使命传达给你们了，并忠告你们，但是你们不喜欢忠告者。”

假若各城市的居民，信道而且敬畏，我必为他们而开辟天地的福利，但他们否认先知，故我因他们所作的罪恶而惩治他们了。

我把他们分为十二支派，即部落。当穆萨的宗族向他求水的时候，我启示他说：“你用你的手杖打那磐石吧。”十二股泉水就从那磐石里涌出来，各部落都知道自己的饮水处。我以白云荫蔽他们，又降下甘露和鹌鹑给他们。（我对他们说）：”你们可以吃我所供给你们的佳美的食物。”他们没有亏负我，但他们自亏了。

当时，你们在山谷的近岸，敌军在远岸，而商队在你们的下面。假若你们约定相会，必定爽约，但（真主集合你们），以便他判决一件必行的事，以便灭亡者见明证而后灭亡，生存者见明证而后生存。真主确是全聪的，确是全知的。

假若那是临近的浮利和中程的旅行，他们必定追随你，但那距离对他们太遥远了。他们将以真主发誓说：“假若我们能出征，我们必定与你们一道出征。”他们自陷于灭亡。真主知道，他们确是说谎的。

假若他们有心出征，必定早已准备就绪了。但真主不愿他们出征，故阻止他们。有人曾对他们说：“你们与老弱妇孺们呆在家里吧！”

在他们以前逝去的民族，有努哈的宗族，阿德人和赛莫德人，易卜拉欣的宗族，麦德彦的居民和被倾覆的城市的居民，难道那些人的消息没有来临他们吗？那些人的使者们昭示他们许多明证，故真主不致于亏枉他们，但他们自欺了。

这部《古兰经》不是可以舍真主而伪造的，却是真主降示来证实以前的天经，并详述真主所制定的律例的。其中毫无疑义，乃是从全世界的主所降示的。

你说：“人们啊！如果你们怀疑我的宗教，那末，我不崇拜你们舍真主而崇拜的，但我崇拜真主，他将使你们寿终。我奉命做一个信道者，

我没有亏待他们，但他们亏待自己。他们舍真主而祈祷的众神灵，当你的主的命令降临的时候，对于他们无济于事，只使他们更受损伤。

在他们的故事里，对于有理智的人们，确有一种教训。这不是伪造的训辞，却是证实前经，详解万事，向导信士，并施以慈恩的。

（不信道者）只能等待天神们来临他们，或等待你的主的命令降临。在他们之前的人就是这样做的。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们却亏枉了自己。
