  <aya id="1" text="O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allâh through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship) . Surely, Allâh is Ever an All&amp;#173;Watcher over you." />
  <aya id="2" text="And give unto orphans their property and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by adding it) to your substance. Surely, this is a great sin." />
  <aya id="3" text="And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan&amp;#173;girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice." />
  <aya id="4" text="And give to the women (whom you marry) their &lt;I&gt;Mahr &lt;/I&gt;(obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as Allâh has made it lawful)." />
  <aya id="5" text="And give not unto the foolish your property which Allâh has made a means of support for you , but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice." />
  <aya id="6" text="And try orphans (as regards their intelligence) until they reach the age of marriage; if then you find sound judgement in them, release their property to them, but consume it not wastefully, and hastily fearing that they should grow up, and whoever amongst guardians is rich, he should take no wages, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his work). And when you release their property to them, take witness in their presence; and Allâh is All&amp;#173;Sufficient in taking account." />
  <aya id="7" text="There is a share for men and a share for women from what is left by parents and those nearest related, whether, the property be small or large - a legal share." />
  <aya id="8" text="And when the relatives and the orphans and &lt;I&gt;Al&amp;#173;Masâkin &lt;/I&gt;(the poor) are present at the time of division, give them out of the property, and speak to them words of kindness and justice." />
  <aya id="9" text="And let those (executors and guardians) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own, if they had left weak offspring behind. So let them fear Allâh and speak right words." />
  <aya id="10" text="Verily, those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, they eat up only a fire into their bellies, and they will be burnt in the blazing Fire!" />
  <aya id="11" text="Allâh commands you as regards your children's (inheritance); to the male, a portion equal to that of two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is half. For parents, a sixth share of inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers or (sisters), the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts. You know not which of them, whether your parents or your children, are nearest to you in benefit, (these fixed shares) are ordained by Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knower, All&amp;#173;Wise." />
  <aya id="12" text="In that which your wives leave, your share is a half if they have no child; but if they leave a child, you get a fourth of that which they leave after payment of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts. In that which you leave, their (your wives) share is a fourth if you leave no child; but if you leave a child, they get an eighth of that which you leave after payment of legacies that you may have bequeathed or debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third; after payment of lagacies he (or she) may have bequeathed or debts, so that no loss is caused (to anyone). This is a Commandment from Allâh; and Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knowing, Most&amp;#173;Forbearing." />
  <aya id="13" text="These are the limits (set by) Allâh (or ordainments as regards laws of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success." />
  <aya id="14" text="And whosoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;), and transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment." />
  <aya id="15" text="And those of your women who commit illegal sexual intercourse, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to them or Allâh ordains for them some (other) way." />
  <aya id="16" text="And the two persons (man and woman) among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, punish them both. And if they repent (promise Allâh that they will never repeat, i.e. commit illegal sexual intercourse and other similar sins) and do righteous good deeds, leave them alone. Surely, Allâh is Ever the One Who accepts repentance, (and He is) Most Merciful." />
  <aya id="17" text="Allâh accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allâh will forgive and Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knower, All&amp;#173;Wise." />
  <aya id="18" text="And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: &amp;quot;Now I repent;&amp;quot; nor of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful torment." />
  <aya id="19" text="O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the &lt;I&gt;Mahr&lt;/I&gt; you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allâh brings through it a great deal of good." />
  <aya id="20" text="But if you intend to replace a wife by another and you have given one of them a &lt;I&gt;Cantar&lt;/I&gt; (of gold i.e. a great amount) as &lt;I&gt;Mahr&lt;/I&gt;, take not the least bit of it back; would you take it wrongfully without a right and (with) a manifest sin?" />
  <aya id="21" text="And how could you take it (back) while you have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a firm and strong covenant?" />
  <aya id="22" text="And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way." />
  <aya id="23" text="Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster mother who gave you suck, your foster milk suckling sisters, your wives' mothers, your step daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom you have gone in - but there is no sin on you if you have not gone in them (to marry their daughters), - the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins, and two sisters in wedlock at the same time, except for what has already passed; verily, Allâh is Oft&amp;#173;Forgiving, Most Merciful." />
  <aya id="24" text="Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with &lt;I&gt;Mahr &lt;/I&gt;(bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual relations, give them their &lt;I&gt;Mahr &lt;/I&gt;as prescribed; but if after a &lt;I&gt;Mahr &lt;/I&gt;is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give more), there is no sin on you. Surely, Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knowing, All&amp;#173;Wise." />
  <aya id="25" text="And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess, and Allâh has full knowledge about your Faith, you are one from another. Wed them with the permission of their own folk (guardians, &lt;I&gt;Auliyâ' &lt;/I&gt;or masters) and give them their &lt;I&gt;Mahr &lt;/I&gt;according to what is reasonable; they (the above said captive and slave-girls) should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boy-friends. And after they have been taken in wedlock, if they commit illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is half that for free (unmarried) women. This is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his religion or in his body; but it is better for you that you practise self&amp;#173;restraint, and Allâh is Oft&amp;#173;Forgiving, Most Merciful." />
  <aya id="26" text="Allâh wishes to make clear (what is lawful and what is unlawful) to you, and to show you the ways of those before you, and accept your repentance, and Allâh is All&amp;#173;Knower, All&amp;#173;Wise." />
  <aya id="27" text="Allâh wishes to accept your repentance, but those who follow their lusts, wish that you (believers) should deviate tremendously away from the Right Path." />
  <aya id="28" text="Allâh wishes to lighten (the burden) for you; and man was created weak (cannot be patient to leave sexual intercourse with woman)." />
  <aya id="29" text="O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allâh is Most Merciful to you." />
  <aya id="30" text="And whoever commits that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the Fire, and that is easy for Allâh." />
  <aya id="31" text="If you avoid the great sins which you are forbidden to do, We shall remit from you your (small) sins, and admit you to a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise)." />
  <aya id="32" text="And wish not for the things in which Allâh has made some of you to excel others. For men there is reward for what they have earned, (and likewise) for women there is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allâh of His Bounty. Surely, Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knower of everything." />
  <aya id="33" text="And to everyone, We have appointed heirs of that (property) left by parents and relatives. To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood), give them their due portion (by &lt;I&gt;Wasiya &amp;#173; &lt;/I&gt;wills, etc.). Truly, Allâh is Ever a Witness over all things." />
  <aya id="34" text="Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill&amp;#173;conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great." />
  <aya id="35" text="If you fear a breach between them twain (the man and his wife), appoint (two) arbitrators, one from his family and the other from her's; if they both wish for peace, Allâh will cause their reconciliation. Indeed Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knower, Well&amp;#173;Acquainted with all things." />
  <aya id="36" text="Worship Allâh and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, &lt;I&gt;Al-Masâkin&lt;/I&gt; (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allâh does not like such as are proud and boastful;" />
  <aya id="37" text="Those who are miserly and enjoin miserliness on other men and hide what Allâh has bestowed upon them of His Bounties. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful torment." />
  <aya id="38" text="And (also) those who spend of their substance to be seen of men, and believe not in Allâh and the Last Day [they are the friends of &lt;I&gt;Shaitân&lt;/I&gt; (Satan)], and whoever takes &lt;I&gt;Shaitân&lt;/I&gt; (Satan) as an intimate; then what a dreadful intimate he has!" />
  <aya id="39" text="And what loss have they if they had believed in Allâh and in the Last Day, and they spend out of what Allâh has given them for sustenance? And Allâh is Ever All&amp;#173;Knower of them." />
  <aya id="40" text="Surely! Allâh wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a small ant) , but if there is any good (done), He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward." />
  <aya id="41" text="How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) as a witness against these people?" />
  <aya id="42" text="On that day those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) will wish that they were buried in the earth, but they will never be able to hide a single fact from Allâh." />
  <aya id="43" text="O you who believe! Approach not &lt;I&gt;As&amp;#173;Salât&lt;/I&gt; (the prayer) when you are in a drunken state until you know (the meaning) of what you utter, nor when you are in a state of &lt;I&gt;Janâba, &lt;/I&gt;(i.e. in a state of sexual impurity and have not yet taken a bath) except when travelling on the road (without enough water, or just passing through a mosque), till you wash your whole body. And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and you find no water, perform &lt;I&gt;Tayammum &lt;/I&gt;with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands (&lt;I&gt;Tayammum&lt;/I&gt;) . Truly, Allâh is Ever Oft&amp;#173;Pardoning, Oft&amp;#173;Forgiving." />
  <aya id="44" text="Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the book (the Jews), purchasing the wrong path, and wish that you should go astray from the Right Path." />
  <aya id="45" text="Allâh has full knowledge of your enemies, and Allâh is Sufficient as a &lt;I&gt;Walî &lt;/I&gt;(Protector), and Allâh is Sufficient as a Helper." />
  <aya id="46" text="Among those who are Jews, there are some who displace words from (their) right places and say: &amp;quot;We hear your word (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt; ) and disobey,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Hear and let you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) hear nothing.&amp;quot; And &lt;I&gt;Râ'ina&lt;/I&gt; with a twist of their tongues and as a mockery of the religion (Islâm). And if only they had said: &amp;quot;We hear and obey&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Do make us understand,&amp;quot; it would have been better for them, and more proper, but Allâh has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not except a few." />
  <aya id="47" text="O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) confirming what is (already) with you, before We efface faces (by making them like the back of necks; without nose, mouth, eyes, etc.) and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath&amp;#173;breakers. And the Commandment of Allâh is always executed." />
  <aya id="48" text="Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allâh in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin." />
  <aya id="49" text="Have you not seen those who claim sanctity for themselves. Nay - but Allâh sanctifies whom He pleases, and they will not be dealt with injustice even equal to the extent of a &lt;I&gt;Fatilâ &lt;/I&gt;(A scalish thread in the long slit of a date&amp;#173;stone)." />
  <aya id="50" text="Look, how they invent a lie against Allâh, and enough is that as a manifest sin." />
  <aya id="51" text="Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They believe in &lt;I&gt;Jibt &lt;/I&gt;and &lt;I&gt;Tâghût&lt;/I&gt; and say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the way than the believers (Muslims)." />
  <aya id="52" text="They are those whom Allâh has cursed, and he whom Allâh curses, you will not find for him (any) helper," />

  <aya id="54" text="Or do they envy men (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt; and his followers) for what Allâh has given them of His Bounty? Then We had already given the family of Ibrâhim (Abraham) the Book and &lt;I&gt;Al&amp;#173;Hikmah &lt;/I&gt;(&lt;I&gt;As&amp;#173;Sunnah -&lt;/I&gt; Divine Inspiration to those Prophets not written in the form of a book), and conferred upon them a great kingdom." />
  <aya id="55" text="Of them were (some) who believed in him (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;), and of them were (some) who averted their faces from him (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;); and enough is Hell for burning (them)." />
  <aya id="56" text="Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our &lt;I&gt;Ayât &lt;/I&gt;(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allâh is Ever Most Powerful, All&amp;#173;Wise." />
  <aya id="57" text="But those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), abiding therein forever. Therein they shall have &lt;I&gt;Azwâjun Mutahharatun&lt;/I&gt; &lt;I&gt; &lt;/I&gt;[purified mates or wives (having no menses, stools, urine, etc.)] and We shall admit them to shades wide and ever deepening (Paradise) ." />
  <aya id="58" text="Verily!

  <aya id="60" text="Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the &lt;I&gt;Tâghût &lt;/I&gt;(false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But &lt;I&gt;Shaitân&lt;/I&gt; (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray." />

  <aya id="63" text="They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allâh knows what is in their hearts; so turn aside from them (do not punish them) but admonish them, and speak to them an effective word (i.e. to believe in Allâh, worship Him, obey Him, and be afraid of Him) to reach their innerselves." />
  <aya id="64" text="We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allâh's Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) and begged Allâh's Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allâh All-Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful." />
  <aya id="65" text="But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad &lt;tt&gt;SAW&lt;/tt&gt;) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission." />
  <aya id="66" text="And if We had ordered them (saying), &amp;quot;Kill yourselves (i.e. the innnocent ones kill the guilty ones) or leave your homes,&amp;quot; very few of them would have done it; but if they had done what they were told, it would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith);" />

  <aya id="176" text=". They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: &amp;quot;Allâh directs (thus) about &lt;I&gt;Al&amp;#173;Kalâlah &lt;/I&gt;(those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs). If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister, but no child, she shall have half the inheritance. If (such a deceased was) a woman, who left no child, her brother takes her inheritance. If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance; if there are brothers and sisters, the male will have twice the share of the female. (Thus) does Allâh makes clear to you (His Law) lest you go astray. And Allâh is the All-Knower of everything.&amp;quot;" />
