Can ye (o ye men of Faith) entertain the hope that they will believe in you?- Seeing that a party of them heard the Word of Allah, and perverted it knowingly after they understood it.

And if ye divorce them before consummation, but after the fixation of a dower for them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them), unless they remit it or (the man's half) is remitted by him in whose hands is the marriage tie; and the remission (of the man's half) is the nearest to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For Allah sees well all that ye do.

Hast thou not Turned thy vision to the Chiefs of the Children of Israel after (the time of) Moses? they said to a prophet (That was) among them: "Appoint for us a king, that we May fight in the cause of Allah." He said: "Is it not possible, if ye were commanded to fight, that that ye will not fight?" They said: "How could we refuse to fight in the cause of Allah, seeing that we were turned out of our homes and our families?" but when they were commanded to fight, they turned back, except a small band among them. But Allah Has full knowledge of those who do wrong.

He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have son, seeing I am very old, and my wife is barren?" "Thus," was the answer, "Doth Allah accomplish what He willeth."

And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have Taken from you a solemn covenant?

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who declare that they believe in the revelations that have come to thee and to those before thee? Their (real) wish is to resort together for judgment (in their disputes) to the Evil One, though they were ordered to reject him. But Satan's wish is to lead them astray far away (from the right).

Already has He sent you Word in the Book, that when ye hear the signs of Allah held in defiance and ridicule, ye are not to sit with them unless they turn to a different theme: if ye did, ye would be like them. For Allah will collect the hypocrites and those who defy faith - all in Hell:-

That they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men's substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.

When they come to thee, they say: "We believe": but in fact they enter with a mind against Faith, and they go out with the same but Allah knoweth fully all that they hide.

His people disputed with him. He said: "(Come) ye to dispute with me, about Allah, when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with Allah: Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished?

Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, when He hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you - except under compulsion of necessity? But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth best those who transgress.

"Would ye then believe in it at last, when it actually cometh to pass? (It will then be said): 'Ah! now? and ye wanted (aforetime) to hasten it on!'

(It was said to him): "Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- and thou didst mischief (and violence)!

And he raised his parents high on the throne (of dignity), and they fell down in prostration, (all) before him. He said: "O my father! this is the fulfilment of my vision of old! Allah hath made it come true! He was indeed good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you (all here) out of the desert, (even) after Satan had sown enmity between me and my brothers. Verily my Lord understandeth best the mysteries of all that He planneth to do, for verily He is full of knowledge and wisdom.

They ask thee to hasten on the evil in preference to the good: Yet have come to pass, before them, (many) exemplary punishments! But verily thy Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind for their wrong-doing, and verily thy Lord is (also) strict in punishment.

Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master-planning is Allah's He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.

"No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He Has guided us to the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us. For those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah."

Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but their plots were (well) within the sight of Allah, even though they were such as to shake the hills!

That they should not believe in the (Message); but the ways of the ancients have passed away.

Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not your oaths after ye have confirmed them; indeed ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knoweth all that ye do.

(He left them) as they were: We completely understood what was before him.

He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from old age?"

He said: "So (it will be) thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: I did indeed create thee before, when thou hadst been nothing!'"

Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!"

"Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand."

Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence.

(All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) - the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal: hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).

He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?"

(Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intelligence and skill.

Seeing that they did reject Faith (entirely) before, and that they (continually) cast (slanders) on the unseen from a position far off?

你们还企图他们会为你们的劝化而信道吗？他们当中有一派人，曾听到真主的言语，他们既了解之後，便明知故犯地加以篡改。

在与她们交接之前，在为她们决定聘仪之後，如果你们休了她们，那末，应当以所定聘仪的半数赠与她们，除非她们加以宽免，或手缔婚约的人加以宽免；宽免是更近於敬畏的。你们不要忘记互惠。真主确是明察你们的行为的。

你不知道穆萨死後以色列人中的领袖吗？当时他们对一个同族的先知说：“请你替我们立一个国王，我们就为主道而战斗。”他说：“如果战斗成为你们的定制，你们会不战斗吗？”他们说：“我们已被敌人逐出故乡，父子离散，我们怎能不为主道而战斗呢？”战斗已成为他们的定制的时候，他们除少数人外，都违背命令了。真主是全知不义的人的。

他说：“我的主啊！我确已老迈了，我的妻子是不会生育的，我怎么会有儿子呢?”天神说：“真主如此为所欲为。”

你们怎能把它取回呢？你们既已同床共枕，而且她们与你们缔结过一个坚实的盟约。

难道你没有看见吗？自称确信降示你的经典和在你之前降示的经典的人，欲向恶魔起诉----同时他们已奉令不要信仰他----而恶魔欲使他们深入迷误中。

他确已在这经典中启示你们说：“当你们听见真主的迹象被人否认而加以嘲笑的时候，你们必与他们同罪。”真主必定把伪信者和不信者全体集合在火狱里。

且违禁而取利息，并借诈术而侵蚀别人的钱财， 我已为他们中不信道的人而预备痛苦的刑罚。

当他们来见你们的时候，他们说：“我们已信道了。”他们带著（不信）进来，又带著（不信）出去。真主是知道他们的隐情的。

他的宗族和他争论，他说：“真主确已引导我，而你们和我争论真主吗？我对于你们用来配主的（偶像），毫无畏惧，除非我的主要我畏惧。我的主的知觉能容万物。难道你们不觉悟吗！

除为势所迫外，你们所当戒除的，真主已为你们阐明了，你们怎么不吃那诵真主之名而宰的呢？有许多人，必因自己的私欲，而无知地使别人迷误。你的主确是知道过分者的。

难道要他们的刑罚降临你们的时候，你们才归依他吗？”你们确要求他的刑罚早日降临你们，现在，你们（却归依他）吗？

现在（你才归信）吗？以前你确已违抗命令，而且是一个破坏的人。

他请他的双亲坐在高座上，他们为他而俯伏叩头，他说：“我的父亲啊！这就是我以前的梦兆的解释。我的主已使那个梦兆变成为事实了。他确已优待我，因为他把我从监狱里释放出来，他在恶魔离间我和我哥哥们之后，把你们从沙漠里带到这里来。我的主，对他所意欲者确是慈爱的。他确是全知的，确是至睿的。

在恩惠降临之前，他们要求你早日昭示惩罚。许多惩戒处罚在他们之前确已逝去了。众人虽然不义，但你的主对于他们确是饶恕的。你的主的惩罚确是严厉的。

在他们之前的人，确已使用计谋；但一切计谋，只归真主，他知道每个灵魂的谋求。

我们怎能不信托真主呢？他确已引导我们走上正道。我们誓必忍受你们的折磨，让信托者只信托真主。”

他们确已用计谋，在真主那里，有他们的计谋（的果报）。他们的计谋，不足以移动群山。

他们不信我的教诲，其实，古人的常道已逝去了。

当你们缔结盟约的时候，你们应当履行。你们既以真主为你们的保证者，则缔结盟约之后就不要违背誓言。真主的确知道你们的行为。

事实就像说的那样。我已彻知他拥有的一切。

他说：“我的主啊！我的妻子是不会生育的，我也老态龙钟了，我怎么会有儿子呢？”

主说：“事情就是这样。”你的主说：“这对于我是容易的。以前你不存在，而我创造了你。”

穆萨对他们说：“你们真该死，你们不要诬蔑真主，以免他用刑罚毁灭你们；诬蔑真主者，确已失败了。”

所以，你们应当决定你们的计策，然后结队而来，今天占上风的，必定成功。”

我这样对你叙述这些以往者的故事，我已赐给你从我发出的记念；

罪人们将对永生自立的主宰表示谦恭，背负罪恶者，确已失望了。

他将说：“我的主啊！我本来不是盲目的， 你为什么使我在盲目的情况下被集合呢？”

（我曾毁灭）阿德人和赛莫德人，你们从他们居住的地方，确已明白他们被毁灭的情形。恶魔以他们的行为，迷惑他们而阻碍他们遵循正道，他们原来是能思维的。

他们以前不信仰他，他们从遥远的地方妄谈幽玄，
