Sura al-Ma’ida

5:1. O believers! Fulfil (your) promises. All grazing livestock are permitted to you, except what is (now) announced to you, disallowing the hunting of game while you are in pilgrim sanctity. Indeed, Allah decrees whatever He wills.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا أوفوا بالعقود أحلت لكم بهيمة الأنعام إلا ما يتلى عليكم غير محلي الصيد وأنتم حرم إن الله يحكم ما يريد

5:2. O believers! Do not violate Allah’s sacraments (i.e. the sacred signs and rituals of the pilgrimage), neither (the sanctity of) the sacred month nor the sacrificial offering, nor the necklaces (hung around the necks of the sacrificial animals), nor those going to the Sacred House seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord. And when you become free from the (obligation of) pilgrim sanctity, you may hunt for game. And do not let your hatred for a people who (once) turned you away from the Sacred Mosque lead you to commit aggression. And help one another in righteousness and God-vigilance (guarding yourselves against evil), and do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And be God-conscious. Indeed, Allah is severe in retribution.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تحلوا شعآئر الله ولا الشهر الحرام ولا الهدي ولا القلآئد ولا آمين البيت الحرام يبتغون فضلا من ربهم ورضوانا وإذا حللتم فاصطادوا ولا يجرمنكم شنآن قوم أن صدوكم عن المسجد الحرام أن تعتدوا وتعاونوا على البر والتقوى ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان واتقوا الله إن الله شديد العقاب

5:3. Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, that animal on which the name of someone other than Allah is invoked at the time of slaughtering, and the animal that dies by strangling, and the animal beaten to death by a violent blow, and the animal which dies by falling, and the animal gored to death, and the animal which wild beasts have eaten, unless you still slaughter it (after it being wounded, in the correct manner), and the animal slaughtered on the stones set up for the idols and that you should allot shares (or decide fortunes) by the divining arrows—all of that is a transgression. Today, the disbelievers have lost all hope of (overcoming) your religion. Therefore, do not fear them but fear Me. Today, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My blessing upon you and approved Islam as your religion. But whoever is extremely compelled by hunger, without inclining purposely to sin, then Allah is indeed Most-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

حرمت عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير وما أهل لغير الله به والمنخنقة والموقوذة والمتردية والنطيحة وما أكل السبع إلا ما ذكيتم وما ذبح على النصب وأن تستقسموا بالأزلام ذلكم فسق اليوم يئس الذين كفروا من دينكم فلا تخشوهم واخشون اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينا فمن اضطر في مخمصة غير متجانف لإثم فإن الله غفور رحيم

5:4. (O Prophet!) They ask you what is permissible for them (to eat). Say: ‘All good things are permissible for you. And as for what you have taught among the hunting dogs (to catch), teaching them out of what Allah has taught you, eat from what they have seized for you, but mention Allah’s Name over it, and be God-conscious. Indeed, Allah is swift at reckoning.’

يسألونك ماذا أحل لهم قل أحل لكم الطيبات وما علمتم من الجوارح مكلبين تعلمونهن مما علمكم الله فكلوا مما أمسكن عليكم واذكروا اسم الله عليه واتقوا الله إن الله سريع الحساب

5:5. This day, all good things have been made permissible for you. The food of the People of the Book is made permissible for you, and your food is permissible for them. (Similarly,) the chaste from among the believing women and the chaste from among those given the Book before you (are permissible for you in marriage) when you have given them their bridal gifts, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking (them) as secret mistresses. And whoever renounces (his) faith, all his deeds will become void, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the losers.

اليوم أحل لكم الطيبات وطعام الذين أوتوا الكتاب حل لكم وطعامكم حل لهم والمحصنات من المؤمنات والمحصنات من الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم إذا آتيتموهن أجورهن محصنين غير مسافحين ولا متخذي أخدان ومن يكفر بالإيمان فقد حبط عمله وهو في الآخرة من الخاسرين

5:6. O believers! When you (intend to) stand for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, wipe your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of major ritual impurity, then purify yourselves (by washing your whole body). But if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you has come from answering the call of nature, or you have intimate contact with a woman (having sexual intercourse) and cannot find water, then (in these cases) make recourse to clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands with it. Allah does not want to put you into hardship, but He wants to purify you and complete His blessing upon you so that you may be grateful.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا قمتم إلى الصلاة فاغسلوا وجوهكم وأيديكم إلى المرافق وامسحوا برؤوسكم وأرجلكم إلى الكعبين وإن كنتم جنبا فاطهروا وإن كنتم مرضى أو على سفر أو جاء أحد منكم من الغائط أو لامستم النساء فلم تجدوا ماء فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا فامسحوا بوجوهكم وأيديكم منه ما يريد الله ليجعل عليكم من حرج ولـكن يريد ليطهركم وليتم نعمته عليكم لعلكم تشكرون

5:7. Remember Allah’s blessing upon you and His covenant by which He bound you when you said: ‘We hear and we obey.’ And be conscious of Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing of what is in the breasts.

واذكروا نعمة الله عليكم وميثاقه الذي واثقكم به إذ قلتم سمعنا وأطعنا واتقوا الله إن الله عليم بذات الصدور

5:8. O believers! Stand firm for Allah, bearing witness to justice, and never let the hatred of a people lead you to be unjust. Be just! That is nearer to God-consciousness. And be conscious (of your duty) to Allah. Allah is indeed All-Aware of what you do.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا كونوا قوامين لله شهداء بالقسط ولا يجرمنكم شنآن قوم على ألا تعدلوا اعدلوا هو أقرب للتقوى واتقوا الله إن الله خبير بما تعملون

5:9. Allah has promised those who believe and perform righteous deeds (that) they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.

وعد الله الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم مغفرة وأجر عظيم

5:10. And those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations shall be the inhabitants of the Hellfire.

والذين كفروا وكذبوا بآياتنا أولـئك أصحاب الجحيم

5:11. O believers! Remember Allah’s blessing upon you when (some) people sought to extend their hands against you, but He restrained their hands from you. Be conscious of Allah. And in Allah, let the believers put their trust.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا اذكروا نعمت الله عليكم إذ هم قوم أن يبسطوا إليكم أيديهم فكف أيديهم عنكم واتقوا الله وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون

5:12. Allah made a covenant with the Children of Israel, and We raised twelve leaders among them. And Allah said: ‘I am surely with you.’ If you establish the prayer, pay the alms due, believe in My messengers, support them and lend Allah a generous loan, I will most certainly absolve you of your misdeeds and will surely admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath them. But whoever among you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the right path.

ولقد أخذ الله ميثاق بني إسرآئيل وبعثنا منهم اثني عشر نقيبا وقال الله إني معكم لئن أقمتم الصلاة وآتيتم الزكاة وآمنتم برسلي وعزرتموهم وأقرضتم الله قرضا حسنا لأكفرن عنكم سيئاتكم ولأدخلنكم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار فمن كفر بعد ذلك منكم فقد ضل سواء السبيل

5:13. Then, for their breaking their covenant, We cursed them and hardened their hearts. They distort the words (of Allah’s Book) from their places (or their meanings), and they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of. And you will not cease to discover treachery on their part, except a few of them. So pardon them and forbear. Indeed, Allah loves the benevolent.

فبما نقضهم ميثاقهم لعناهم وجعلنا قلوبهم قاسية يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ونسوا حظا مما ذكروا به ولا تزال تطلع على خآئنة منهم إلا قليلا منهم فاعف عنهم واصفح إن الله يحب المحسنين

5:14. (We also took a pledge) from those who say: ‘We are Christians.’ We took their pledge, but they (too) forgot a portion of what they were reminded. So, We let hostility and enmity arise between them till the Day of Resurrection. And soon Allah will inform them of what they had been doing.

ومن الذين قالوا إنا نصارى أخذنا ميثاقهم فنسوا حظا مما ذكروا به فأغرينا بينهم العداوة والبغضاء إلى يوم القيامة وسوف ينبئهم الله بما كانوا يصنعون

5:15. O People of the Book! Indeed, Our Messenger has come to you, who clarifies for you much of what you have been concealing of the Book, and overlooks many things (that you have been doing). There has indeed come to you a light from Allah (i.e. Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) and a Manifest Book (i.e. the Holy Qur’an).

يا أهل الكتاب قد جاءكم رسولنا يبين لكم كثيرا مما كنتم تخفون من الكتاب ويعفوا عن كثير قد جاءكم من الله نور وكتاب مبين

5:16. Allah guides by it whosoever follows (the course of) His pleasure to the ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness into light by His will, and He guides them to a straight path.

يهدي به الله من اتبع رضوانه سبل السلام ويخرجهم من الظلمات إلى النور بإذنه ويهديهم إلى صراط مستقيم

5:17. They indeed have disbelieved, who say: ‘Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary).’ Say: ‘Who would have any power over Allah if He intended to destroy the Messiah, the son of Maryam, his mother, and all those on the earth?’ And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them. He creates whatever He wills, and Allah is All-Capable of everything.

لقد كفر الذين قآلوا إن الله هو المسيح ابن مريم قل فمن يملك من الله شيئا إن أراد أن يهلك المسيح ابن مريم وأمه ومن في الأرض جميعا ولله ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما يخلق ما يشاء والله على كل شيء قدير

5:18. The Jews and the Christians say: ‘We are the children of Allah and His beloved ones.’ Say: ‘Then why does He punish you for your sins?’ Instead, you are merely humans from among those whom He has created. He forgives whom He pleases and punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and towards Him is the eventual return.

وقالت اليهود والنصارى نحن أبناء الله وأحباؤه قل فلم يعذبكم بذنوبكم بل أنتم بشر ممن خلق يغفر لمن يشاء ويعذب من يشاء ولله ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما وإليه المصير

5:19. O People of the Book! Indeed, Our Messenger has come to you, clarifying (the Divine teachings) for you after an interval between the messengers, lest you say: ‘There has not come to us any bearer of glad tidings, nor any warner.’ Indeed, a bearer of glad tidings news and a warner has come to you, and Allah is All-Capable of everything.

يا أهل الكتاب قد جاءكم رسولنا يبين لكم على فترة من الرسل أن تقولوا ما جاءنا من بشير ولا نذير فقد جاءكم بشير ونذير والله على كل شيء قدير

5:20. And (recall) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: ‘O my people! Remember Allah’s blessing upon you when He raised prophets among you and made you kings, and He gave you (the miraculous favours) that He had never given anyone in the world.

وإذ قال موسى لقومه يا قوم اذكروا نعمة الله عليكم إذ جعل فيكم أنبياء وجعلكم ملوكا وآتاكم ما لم يؤت أحدا من العالمين

5:21. O my people! Enter the Holy Land Allah has assigned for you, and do not turn on your backs, for then you will become losers.’

يا قوم ادخلوا الأرض المقدسة التي كتب الله لكم ولا ترتدوا على أدباركم فتنقلبوا خاسرين

5:22. They said: ‘O Musa (Moses)! Surely, there are dominant (and powerful) people in it, and we shall never enter it until they leave it. If they leave it, we will certainly enter.’

قالوا يا موسى إن فيها قوما جبارين وإنا لن ندخلها حتى يخرجوا منها فإن يخرجوا منها فإنا داخلون

5:23. Said two men from among those feared (Allah), whom Allah had blessed: ‘Enter upon them through the gate. For once you have entered it, you shall be victorious. And put your trust in Allah if you are believers.’

قال رجلان من الذين يخافون أنعم الله عليهما ادخلوا عليهم الباب فإذا دخلتموه فإنكم غالبون وعلى الله فتوكلوا إن كنتم مؤمنين

5:24. They said: ‘O Musa (Moses)! We will never enter it as long as they remain there. So, go ahead, you and your Lord, and you both fight. We shall stay right here.’

قالوا يا موسى إنا لن ندخلها أبدا ما داموا فيها فاذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا إنا هاهنا قاعدون

5:25. He (Musa [Moses]) said: ‘My Lord! I have no control (over anyone) except for myself and my brother (Harun [Aaron]). So separate us from the rebellious people.’

قال رب إني لا أملك إلا نفسي وأخي فافرق بيننا وبين القوم الفاسقين

5:26. (The Lord) said: ‘So this (land) shall be forbidden to them for forty years, while they will be wandering through the earth aimlessly. So do not grieve over the rebellious people.’

قال فإنها محرمة عليهم أربعين سنة يتيهون في الأرض فلا تأس على القوم الفاسقين

5:27. (Esteemed Prophet!) Relate to them with truth the story of Adam’s two sons (Habil and Qabil [Abel and Cain]): Each of them offered a sacrifice. It was accepted from one of them (Habil [Abel]) and was not from the other (Qabil [Cain]). He (Qabil) said: ‘I will most certainly slay you.’ He (Habil) replied: ‘Indeed Allah accepts (offering) only from the God-conscious.

واتل عليهم نبأ ابني آدم بالحق إذ قربا قربانا فتقبل من أحدهما ولم يتقبل من الآخر قال لأقتلنك قال إنما يتقبل الله من المتقين

5:28. Even if you extend your hand towards me to kill me, I will not extend my hand towards you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, the Lord of all worlds.

لئن بسطت إلي يدك لتقتلني ما أنا بباسط يدي إليك لأقتلك إني أخاف الله رب العالمين

5:29. I desire you to bear (the burden of) my sin (i.e. the sin of killing me) and also your (other) sins (i.e. the preceding ones for which your offering was rejected). You will then become an inhabitant of the Fire. And that is the recompense of the wrongdoers.’

إني أريد أن تبوء بإثمي وإثمك فتكون من أصحاب النار وذلك جزاء الظالمين

5:30. Then his soul prompted him to slay his brother, so he killed him; thus, he became one of the losers.

فطوعت له نفسه قتل أخيه فقتله فأصبح من الخاسرين

5:31. Then Allah sent a crow, scratching into the earth, to show him how he might bury the dead body of his brother. He said: ‘Oh, woe to me! Am I unable to be as this crow and bury my brother’s corpse?’ And he became one of the regretful.

فبعث الله غرابا يبحث في الأرض ليريه كيف يواري سوءة أخيه قال يا ويلتا أعجزت أن أكون مثل هـذا الغراب فأواري سوءة أخي فأصبح من النادمين

5:32. For this reason, We prescribed for the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, without it being (a lawful punishment) for another soul or (a lawful punishment for spreading) disorder in the land, it is as if he has killed all humanity. And whoever saves a life, it is as if he has saved all humanity. Indeed, Our messengers came to them with clear signs; even after that, many of them continued transgressing in the land.

من أجل ذلك كتبنا على بني إسرائيل أنه من قتل نفسا بغير نفس أو فساد في الأرض فكأنما قتل الناس جميعا ومن أحياها فكأنما أحيا الناس جميعا ولقد جاءتهم رسلنا بالبينات ثم إن كثيرا منهم بعد ذلك في الأرض لمسرفون

5:33. Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and try to cause corruption (and disorder) in the land (by perpetrating robbery, bloodshed and terrorism) is that they should be (lawfully) awarded capital punishment, or they should be crucified, or their hands and feet should be (lawfully) struck off from opposite sides, or they should be (lawfully) imprisoned (or banished from the land). That is their disgrace in this world, and there is a terrible punishment for them in the Hereafter.

إنما جزاء الذين يحاربون الله ورسوله ويسعون في الأرض فسادا أن يقتلوا أو يصلبوا أو تقطع أيديهم وأرجلهم من خلاف أو ينفوا من الأرض ذلك لهم خزي في الدنيا ولهم في الآخرة عذاب عظيم

5:34. Except those who repent before you overpower them; then know that Allah is Most-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

إلا الذين تابوا من قبل أن تقدروا عليهم فاعلموا أن الله غفور رحيم

5:35. O believers! Be conscious of Allah, seek the means that bring you closer to Him, and strive hard in His way, so that you may be prosperous.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وابتغوا إليه الوسيلة وجاهدوا في سبيله لعلكم تفلحون

5:36. Indeed, if the disbelievers were to possess everything on the earth and twice over (and offer it all) to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them. And there will be a painful punishment for them.

إن الذين كفروا لو أن لهم ما في الأرض جميعا ومثله معه ليفتدوا به من عذاب يوم القيامة ما تقبل منهم ولهم عذاب أليم

5:37. They will wish to come out from the Fire, but they shall never be able to leave it, and there is a lasting punishment for them.

يريدون أن يخرجوا من النار وما هم بخارجين منها ولهم عذاب مقيم

5:38. As for the male and female thieves, cut off their hands as a requital for what they have done. (That is) an exemplary punishment from Allah. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

والسارق والسارقة فاقطعوا أيديهما جزاء بما كسبا نكالا من الله والله عزيز حكيم

5:39. But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms (himself), then Allah shall accept his repentance. Indeed, Allah is Most-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

فمن تاب من بعد ظلمه وأصلح فإن الله يتوب عليه إن الله غفور رحيم

5:40. Do you not know that to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whomever He wills and forgives whomever He pleases. And Allah is All-Capable of everything.

ألم تعلم أن الله له ملك السماوات والأرض يعذب من يشاء ويغفر لمن يشاء والله على كل شيء قدير

5:41. O Messenger! Let them not grieve you, those who hasten in (promoting) disbelief, those who say: ‘We believe’ with their mouths, but their hearts do not believe. Nor, those among the Jews who listen eagerly intending (to tell) lies (about you) to others who have not yet come to you, (and they) distort the words from their meanings (and contexts), and say (to each other): ‘If you are given this (particular ruling), then take it, but if you are not given this, then beware!’ And whomever Allah intends to try (by error or temptation), you cannot avail him anything against Allah. They are the ones whose hearts Allah did not desire to purify. For them is disgrace in this world, and there is a grievous punishment for them in the Hereafter.

يا أيها الرسول لا يحزنك الذين يسارعون في الكفر من الذين قالوا آمنا بأفواههم ولم تؤمن قلوبهم ومن الذين هادوا سماعون للكذب سماعون لقوم آخرين لم يأتوك يحرفون الكلم من بعد مواضعه يقولون إن أوتيتم هـذا فخذوه وإن لم تؤتوه فاحذروا ومن يرد الله فتنته فلن تملك له من الله شيئا أولـئك الذين لم يرد الله أن يطهر قلوبهم لهم في الدنيا خزي ولهم في الآخرة عذاب عظيم

5:42. (They are) listeners of falsehood, (and) consumers of the unlawful. If they come to you, you can either judge between them or disregard them. If you disregard them, they shall not harm you in any way. But if you (decide to) judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves the just.

سماعون للكذب أكالون للسحت فإن جآؤوك فاحكم بينهم أو أعرض عنهم وإن تعرض عنهم فلن يضروك شيئا وإن حكمت فاحكم بينهم بالقسط إن الله يحب المقسطين

5:43. And how should they make you their judge when they (already) have the Torah with them, which contains Allah’s judgement? Yet they turn their backs after that. And they are not believers.

وكيف يحكمونك وعندهم التوراة فيها حكم الله ثم يتولون من بعد ذلك وما أولـئك بالمؤمنين

5:44. Indeed, We sent down the Torah, containing guidance and light, by which the prophets who had submitted themselves (to Allah) judged the Jews. So, too, did the rabbis and scholars (give the judgements) according to Allah’s Book, as they were entrusted to preserve and to which they were (made) witnesses. So, do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not sell My revelations for a small gain. And those who do not judge according to what Allah has revealed, it is they who are the disbelievers.

إنا أنزلنا التوراة فيها هدى ونور يحكم بها النبيون الذين أسلموا للذين هادوا والربانيون والأحبار بما استحفظوا من كتاب الله وكانوا عليه شهداء فلا تخشوا الناس واخشون ولا تشتروا بآياتي ثمنا قليلا ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولـئك هم الكافرون

5:45. And We ordained for them in this (Book, the Torah): ‘A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth and equal retaliation for wounds. But whoever waives it charitably, it shall be an atonement for him. And those who do not judge according to what Allah has revealed, it is they who are the transgressors.

وكتبنا عليهم فيها أن النفس بالنفس والعين بالعين والأنف بالأنف والأذن بالأذن والسن بالسن والجروح قصاص فمن تصدق به فهو كفارة له ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولـئك هم الظالمون

5:46. And following in their footsteps, We sent ‘Isa, the son of Maryam (Jesus, the son of Mary), confirming what was before him of the Torah. We gave him the Injil (the Gospel), containing guidance and light, confirming what was (revealed) before him in the Torah—a guidance and admonition for the God-conscious.

وقفينا على آثارهم بعيسى ابن مريم مصدقا لما بين يديه من التوراة وآتيناه الإنجيل فيه هدى ونور ومصدقا لما بين يديه من التوراة وهدى وموعظة للمتقين

5:47. Let the People of the Injil (the Gospel) judge according to what Allah has revealed in it. Those who do not judge according to what Allah has revealed, it is they who are disobedient.

وليحكم أهل الإنجيل بما أنزل الله فيه ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولـئك هم الفاسقون

5:48. And We have sent down to you the Book with the truth, as a verifier of all Scriptures that had come before it and as a guardian over it. So, judge between them according to what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires against the truth that has come to you. For each (community) among you, We have assigned a code of law and a way of life. And if Allah had willed, He would have made you one nation, but (He wills) that He should test you in respect to what He has given you. So take the lead in all good works. To Allah shall be your return all together. Then, He will inform you about what you used to differ.

وأنزلنا إليك الكتاب بالحق مصدقا لما بين يديه من الكتاب ومهيمنا عليه فاحكم بينهم بما أنزل الله ولا تتبع أهواءهم عما جاءك من الحق لكل جعلنا منكم شرعة ومنهاجا ولو شاء الله لجعلكم أمة واحدة ولـكن ليبلوكم في مآ آتاكم فاستبقوا الخيرات إلى الله مرجعكم جميعا فينبئكم بما كنتم فيه تختلفون

5:49. So judge between them according to what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires. And beware of them lest they (try to) tempt you away from any part of what Allah has sent down to you. But if they turn away (from your judgement), then know that Allah wants to punish them for some of their sins. And indeed, many people are disobedient.

وأن احكم بينهم بمآ أنزل الله ولا تتبع أهواءهم واحذرهم أن يفتنوك عن بعض ما أنزل الله إليك فإن تولوا فاعلم أنما يريد الله أن يصيبهم ببعض ذنوبهم وإن كثيرا من الناس لفاسقون

5:50. Is it the law of pagan ignorance that they are seeking (to be judged by)? And who is better than Allah in judgement for people of firm faith?

أفحكم الجاهلية يبغون ومن أحسن من الله حكما لقوم يوقنون

5:51. O believers! Do not consider the (hostile) Jews and Christians as (your) guardians (or reliable allies). They are guardians (and supporters) of each other. Anyone of you who trusts them as an ally will (also) become one of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتخذوا اليهود والنصارى أولياء بعضهم أولياء بعض ومن يتولهم منكم فإنه منهم إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين

5:52. You see those with sickness in their hearts rushing towards them, saying: ‘We fear lest fortune may turn against us.’ But perhaps Allah will grant victory or some (other) command (as a sign of success) from Him. Then, they shall be remorseful for what they kept secret in their hearts.

فترى الذين في قلوبهم مرض يسارعون فيهم يقولون نخشى أن تصيبنا دآئرة فعسى الله أن يأتي بالفتح أو أمر من عنده فيصبحوا على ما أسروا في أنفسهم نادمين

5:53. And the believers will say: ‘Are these the ones who swore by Allah their solemn oaths that they were with you?’ All their deeds have gone void, and they have become losers.

ويقول الذين آمنوا أهـؤلاء الذين أقسموا بالله جهد أيمانهم إنهم لمعكم حبطت أعمالهم فأصبحوا خاسرين

5:54. O believers! Whoever among you turns away from his faith, Allah will soon bring a people; He shall love them, and they shall love Him. They will be humble towards the believers, firm against the disbelievers, striving hard in Allah’s way and not fearing any blamer’s blame. That is Allah’s grace. He grants it to whomever He pleases. And Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا من يرتد منكم عن دينه فسوف يأتي الله بقوم يحبهم ويحبونه أذلة على المؤمنين أعزة على الكافرين يجاهدون في سبيل الله ولا يخافون لومة لآئم ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء والله واسع عليم

5:55. Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), and the believers who establish the prayer and give the alms due while bowing down (to Allah).

إنما وليكم الله ورسوله والذين آمنوا الذين يقيمون الصلاة ويؤتون الزكاة وهم راكعون

5:56. Whoever takes as his guardians Allah, His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), and the believers; (these are) Allah’s allies, who will surely be victorious.

ومن يتول الله ورسوله والذين آمنوا فإن حزب الله هم الغالبون

5:57. O believers! Do not take those who ridicule your religion and make fun of it from among those given the Book before you and the disbelievers as (your) trustful allies. And be conscious of Allah if you are (true) believers.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتخذوا الذين اتخذوا دينكم هزوا ولعبا من الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم والكفار أولياء واتقوا الله إن كنتم مؤمنين

5:58. When you call to the prayer, they take it as mockery and play. That is because they are people who do not understand.

وإذا ناديتم إلى الصلاة اتخذوها هزوا ولعبا ذلك بأنهم قوم لا يعقلون

5:59. Say: ‘O People of the Book! Are you seeking revenge against us only because we believe in Allah, and (we believe in) what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed before, whereas most of you are disobedient?’

قل يا أهل الكتاب هل تنقمون منا إلا أن آمنا بالله وما أنزل إلينا وما أنزل من قبل وأن أكثركم فاسقون

5:60. Say: ‘Shall I inform you of something worse than that (punishment) as a requital from Allah? (It is those) whom Allah has cursed, and upon whom He brought His wrath. He turned some of them into apes and swine and (also) the worshipers of idols (i.e. the slaves of Satan). These are in a far worse situation and more astray from the right way.’

قل هل أنبئكم بشر من ذلك مثوبة عند الله من لعنه الله وغضب عليه وجعل منهم القردة والخنازير وعبد الطاغوت أولـئك شر مكانا وأضل عن سواء السبيل

5:61. When they come to you, they say: ‘We believe.’ Indeed, they enter with disbelief and certainly leave with it. And Allah knows best what they have been hiding.

وإذا جآؤوكم قالوا آمنا وقد دخلوا بالكفر وهم قد خرجوا به والله أعلم بما كانوا يكتمون

5:62. You see many of them hastening actively into sin and enmity and consuming illicit gains. Indeed, evil is what they have been doing.

وترى كثيرا منهم يسارعون في الإثم والعدوان وأكلهم السحت لبئس ما كانوا يعملون

5:63. Why do the rabbis and scholars not forbid them from their sinful speech and their consumption of illicit gains? Indeed, evil is what they have been doing.

لولا ينهاهم الربانيون والأحبار عن قولهم الإثم وأكلهم السحت لبئس ما كانوا يصنعون

5:64. The Jews say: ‘Allah’s hand is tied up (with miserliness and helplessness).’ Tied up are their hands, and they are cursed for what they say! Instead, His hands are wide open. He bestows (as much) as He pleases. What has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief. And We have cast between them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they kindle a fire for war, Allah extinguishes it. They seek to cause corruption on the earth, and Allah does not like the corruptors.

وقالت اليهود يد الله مغلولة غلت أيديهم ولعنوا بما قالوا بل يداه مبسوطتان ينفق كيف يشاء وليزيدن كثيرا منهم ما أنزل إليك من ربك طغيانا وكفرا وألقينا بينهم العداوة والبغضاء إلى يوم القيامة كلما أوقدوا نارا للحرب أطفأها الله ويسعون في الأرض فسادا والله لا يحب المفسدين

5:65. But had the People of the Book only believed and remained God-conscious, We would have surely acquitted them of their misdeeds and admitted them to the Gardens of bliss.

ولو أن أهل الكتاب آمنوا واتقوا لكفرنا عنهم سيئاتهم ولأدخلناهم جنات النعيم

5:66. Had they observed (the commandments of) the Torah and the Injil (the Gospel) and whatever was revealed to them from their Lord, they would surely have received nourishment from above them and from beneath their feet. There is a moderate (and upright) community among them, but what most of them are doing is evil.

ولو أنهم أقاموا التوراة والإنجيل وما أنزل إليهم من ربهم لأكلوا من فوقهم ومن تحت أرجلهم منهم أمة مقتصدة وكثير منهم ساء ما يعملون

5:67. Esteemed Messenger! Convey everything that has been revealed to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not delivered His Message. Allah shall protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

يا أيها الرسول بلغ ما أنزل إليك من ربك وإن لم تفعل فما بلغت رسالته والله يعصمك من الناس إن الله لا يهدي القوم الكافرين

5:68. Say: ‘O People of the Book, you do not stand on anything unless you observe (the commandments of) the Torah and the Injil (the Gospel) and whatever has been revealed to you from your Lord.’ And what has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief. So do not worry about the disbelieving people.

قل يا أهل الكتاب لستم على شيء حتى تقيموا التوراة والإنجيل وما أنزل إليكم من ربكم وليزيدن كثيرا منهم ما أنزل إليك من ربك طغيانا وكفرا فلا تأس على القوم الكافرين

5:69. Indeed, the believers, the Jews, the Sabaeans, and the Christians, whoever (truly) believes in Allah and the Last Day and acts righteously, there shall be no fear on them, nor shall they grieve.

إن الذين آمنوا والذين هادوا والصابؤون والنصارى من آمن بالله واليوم الآخر وعمل صالحا فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

5:70. Surely, We took a pledge from the Children of Israel and sent messengers to them. Whenever a messenger brought them what their souls did not desire, they would accuse some of lying, and some they would slay.

لقد أخذنا ميثاق بني إسرائيل وأرسلنا إليهم رسلا كلما جاءهم رسول بما لا تهوى أنفسهم فريقا كذبوا وفريقا يقتلون

5:71. They supposed there would be no trial, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allah accepted their repentance, but again, many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is All-Seeing of what they are doing.

وحسبوا ألا تكون فتنة فعموا وصموا ثم تاب الله عليهم ثم عموا وصموا كثير منهم والله بصير بما يعملون

5:72. They are certainly disbelievers who say: ‘Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary).’ Whereas the Messiah himself said: ‘O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ Whoever ascribes partners to Allah, indeed Allah has forbidden him entrance to Paradise and his refuge shall be the Fire. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers.

لقد كفر الذين قالوا إن الله هو المسيح ابن مريم وقال المسيح يا بني إسرائيل اعبدوا الله ربي وربكم إنه من يشرك بالله فقد حرم الله عليه الجنة ومأواه النار وما للظالمين من أنصار

5:73. Certainly, they (also) are disbelievers who say: ‘Allah is the third of three,’ while there is no god except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful punishment will surely befall the disbelievers among them.

لقد كفر الذين قالوا إن الله ثالث ثلاثة وما من إلـه إلا إلـه واحد وإن لم ينتهوا عما يقولون ليمسن الذين كفروا منهم عذاب أليم

5:74. Will they not turn to Allah in repentance and plead with Him for forgiveness? And Allah is Most-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

أفلا يتوبون إلى الله ويستغفرونه والله غفور رحيم

5:75. The Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), was only a messenger. Indeed, many messengers have passed before him, and his mother was a truthful woman. They both would eat food. Look how we make the signs clear to them, yet see how they go astray!

ما المسيح ابن مريم إلا رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسل وأمه صديقة كانا يأكلان الطعام انظر كيف نبين لهم الآيات ثم انظر أنى يؤفكون

5:76. Say: ‘Do you worship (something) besides Allah that has no power to bring you any harm or benefit, while Allah alone is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing?’

قل أتعبدون من دون الله ما لا يملك لكم ضرا ولا نفعا والله هو السميع العليم

5:77. Say: ‘O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth, and do not follow the low desires of a people who went astray before and led many astray, and (now again after the raising of Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) have strayed from the right path.’

قل يا أهل الكتاب لا تغلوا في دينكم غير الحق ولا تتبعوا أهواء قوم قد ضلوا من قبل وأضلوا كثيرا وضلوا عن سواء السبيل

5:78. The disbelievers among the Children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and ‘Isa, son of Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary). That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress.

لعن الذين كفروا من بني إسرائيل على لسان داوود وعيسى ابن مريم ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدون

5:79. They would not forbid one another from the wrong they committed. Surely, evil is what they had been doing.

كانوا لا يتناهون عن منكر فعلوه لبئس ما كانوا يفعلون

5:80. You see many of them allying themselves with the disbelievers. Indeed, evil is what they have forwarded to their account. Since Allah has become angry with them, they shall remain in everlasting punishment!

ترى كثيرا منهم يتولون الذين كفروا لبئس ما قدمت لهم أنفسهم أن سخط الله عليهم وفي العذاب هم خالدون

5:81. Had they believed in Allah, the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him), and what was revealed to him, they would never have taken those (pagans) for allies. But most of them are disobedient.

ولو كانوا يؤمنون بالله والنبي وما أنزل إليه ما اتخذوهم أولياء ولـكن كثيرا منهم فاسقون

5:82. You will surely find the most hostile of all people towards the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists. And you will surely find the nearest of them in affection to the believers to be those who say: ‘We are Christians.’ That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.

لتجدن أشد الناس عداوة للذين آمنوا اليهود والذين أشركوا ولتجدن أقربهم مودة للذين آمنوا الذين قالوا إنا نصارى ذلك بأن منهم قسيسين ورهبانا وأنهم لا يستكبرون

5:83. When they listen to what has been revealed to the Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they recognise. They say: ‘Our Lord! We believe, so write us down among the witnesses.’

وإذا سمعوا ما أنزل إلى الرسول ترى أعينهم تفيض من الدمع مما عرفوا من الحق يقولون ربنا آمنا فاكتبنا مع الشاهدين

5:84. Why should we not believe in Allah and the truth that has come to us? And we long for our Lord to include us in the company of the righteous people.

وما لنا لا نؤمن بالله وما جاءنا من الحق ونطمع أن يدخلنا ربنا مع القوم الصالحين

5:85. So Allah rewarded them for what they said, with Gardens with rivers flowing beneath them, to abide in them forever. That is the reward of the virtuously excellent.

فأثابهم الله بما قالوا جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها وذلك جزاء المحسنين

5:86. But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations—such shall be the inhabitants of the Hellfire.

والذين كفروا وكذبوا بآياتنا أولـئك أصحاب الجحيم

5:87. O believers! Do not prohibit the good things Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like the transgressors.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تحرموا طيبات ما أحل الله لكم ولا تعتدوا إن الله لا يحب المعتدين

5:88. Eat from the lawful and pure things Allah has provided you and be conscious of Allah in Whom you (all) believe.

وكلوا مما رزقكم الله حلالا طيبا واتقوا الله الذي أنتم به مؤمنون

5:89. Allah does not call you to account for what is frivolous in your oaths, but He will hold you accountable for your deliberate oaths. The atonement for it (i.e. the breaking of an oath) is feeding ten poor persons the average food you would normally serve to your own family, or their clothing, or freeing a slave. And whosoever does not find (the means) shall fast for three days. That is the atonement for your oaths when you have sworn (them). But guard your oaths. Thus, Allah makes clear to you His revelations so that you may be grateful.

لا يؤاخذكم الله باللغو في أيمانكم ولـكن يؤاخذكم بما عقدتم الأيمان فكفارته إطعام عشرة مساكين من أوسط ما تطعمون أهليكم أو كسوتهم أو تحرير رقبة فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام ذلك كفارة أيمانكم إذا حلفتم واحفظوا أيمانكم كذلك يبين الله لكم آياته لعلكم تشكرون

5:90. O believers! Indeed (all) intoxicants and (every kind of) gambling and idolatrous stones for sacrificing animals and divining (with) arrows are the filth of Satan’s act. Therefore, avoid them so that you may be successful.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا إنما الخمر والميسر والأنصاب والأزلام رجس من عمل الشيطان فاجتنبوه لعلكم تفلحون

5:91. Satan desires only to cause enmity and hatred among you through intoxication and gambling and to bar you from the remembrance of Allah and prayer. Will you, then, refrain?

إنما يريد الشيطان أن يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضاء في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل أنتم منتهون

5:92. And obey Allah and obey the Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), and always be on your guard. But if you turn away, then know that Our Messenger’s duty is only the clear proclamation (of the divine message).

وأطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول واحذروا فإن توليتم فاعلموا أنما على رسولنا البلاغ المبين

5:93. There is no blame upon those who believe (in Allah) and perform righteous deeds regarding what they have eaten (before the prohibition), as long as they guard themselves (against evil), believe and perform righteous deeds, and then (continue to) be God-conscious and believe, and then remain (ever) conscious (of the commands of Allah) and excel—and Allah loves those who are virtuously excellent.

ليس على الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جناح فيما طعموا إذا ما اتقوا وآمنوا وعملوا الصالحات ثم اتقوا وآمنوا ثم اتقوا وأحسنوا والله يحب المحسنين

5:94. O believers! Allah will surely test you with something of the game which your hands and your spears will reach so that Allah may distinguish who fears Him privately. Then, whoever transgresses after that shall have a painful punishment.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا ليبلونكم الله بشيء من الصيد تناله أيديكم ورماحكم ليعلم الله من يخافه بالغيب فمن اعتدى بعد ذلك فله عذاب أليم

5:95. O believers! Do not kill any game while you are in pilgrim sanctity. And whosoever of you kills it intentionally, the compensation (for it) is (to sacrifice) cattle equivalent to the one he has killed, as judged by two just men among you, as an offering brought to the Ka‘ba. Alternatively, (its compensation is) the atonement by feeding the needy or fasting of its equivalent so that he may taste the consequence of his violation. Allah has forgiven what has already passed. But whosoever repeats (a similar act), Allah will take vengeance on him. And Allah is All-Mighty, the All-Capable of Vengeance.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تقتلوا الصيد وأنتم حرم ومن قتله منكم متعمدا فجزاء مثل ما قتل من النعم يحكم به ذوا عدل منكم هديا بالغ الكعبة أو كفارة طعام مساكين أو عدل ذلك صياما ليذوق وبال أمره عفا الله عما سلف ومن عاد فينتقم الله منه والله عزيز ذو انتقام

5:96. You are permitted to hunt and eat seafood as a provision for you and the travellers. But you have been forbidden the game of the land so long as you remain in pilgrim sanctity. And be God-conscious, to Whom you shall be gathered.

أحل لكم صيد البحر وطعامه متاعا لكم وللسيارة وحرم عليكم صيد البر ما دمتم حرما واتقوا الله الذي إليه تحشرون

5:97. Allah has made the Ka‘ba, the Sacred House, a sanctuary of well-being for people, and (also) the sacred month, the offering (of the sacrificial animals) and garlands. All that (is ordained) so you may know that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and that Allah is All-Knowing of everything.

جعل الله الكعبة البيت الحرام قياما للناس والشهر الحرام والهدي والقلائد ذلك لتعلموا أن الله يعلم ما في السماوات وما في الأرض وأن الله بكل شيء عليم

5:98. Know that Allah is Severe in retribution, and Allah is Most-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

اعلموا أن الله شديد العقاب وأن الله غفور رحيم

5:99. The Messenger’s responsibility is only to communicate, and Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal.

ما على الرسول إلا البلاغ والله يعلم ما تبدون وما تكتمون

5:100. Say: ‘The good and the evil are not equal, though the abundance of evil may impress you. Be conscious of Allah, O possessors of intellect, that you may succeed.’

قل لا يستوي الخبيث والطيب ولو أعجبك كثرة الخبيث فاتقوا الله يا أولي الألباب لعلكم تفلحون

5:101. O believers! Do not ask regarding things (the Qur’an is silent about) which, if they are made clear to you, may trouble you. And if you ask about them while the Qur’an is being revealed, they shall be disclosed to you (and you will be left with no discretion). Allah has (so far) excused these matters. And Allah is Most-Forgiving, All-Forbearing.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تسألوا عن أشياء إن تبد لكم تسؤكم وإن تسألوا عنها حين ينزل القرآن تبد لكم عفا الله عنها والله غفور حليم

5:102. Indeed, some people before you asked such questions, then became disbelievers on account of them.

قد سألها قوم من قبلكم ثم أصبحوا بها كافرين

5:103. Allah has not prescribed any such thing as Bahira, Sa’iba, Wasila and Ham.* But the disbelievers fabricate lies against Allah, and most of them do not understand.

* These four terms refer to particular kinds of camels that the pagan Arabs used to dedicate to different idols and consider them sacred. Such camels could not be ridden or milked or made to carry any burden, but they had to be allowed to wander and graze freely. These camels would often be marked by slit ears to make the people aware of their sacred status. The Qur’an has rejected and condemned this idolatrous practice of the pre-Islamic Arabs.

ما جعل الله من بحيرة ولا سآئبة ولا وصيلة ولا حام ولـكن الذين كفروا يفترون على الله الكذب وأكثرهم لا يعقلون

5:104. And when it is said to them: ‘Come to what Allah has revealed and (come) to the Messenger,’ they say: ‘What we have found our forefathers practising is good enough for us.’ What! Even if their forefathers did not know anything and were not guided?

وإذا قيل لهم تعالوا إلى ما أنزل الله وإلى الرسول قالوا حسبنا ما وجدنا عليه آباءنا أولو كان آباؤهم لا يعلمون شيئا ولا يهتدون

5:105. O believers! Take care of your own souls. The one who deviates from the right path cannot harm you if you are rightly guided. To Allah shall be your return all together. Then He shall inform you regarding what you used to do.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا عليكم أنفسكم لا يضركم من ضل إذا اهتديتم إلى الله مرجعكم جميعا فينبئكم بما كنتم تعملون

5:106. O believers! When death approaches any of you while making a will, the witness between you shall be two just persons among you; otherwise, two from among others (i.e. non-muslims, if Muslim witnesses are not available). It is (needed) if you are travelling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you. You shall detain the two of them after prayer, and if you doubt (their testimony), then they shall testify under oath (saying): ‘By Allah! We will never sell it for any price, even if he were a close relative, nor will we conceal the testimony of Allah, for then we would surely be among the sinful.’

يا أيها الذين آمنوا شهادة بينكم إذا حضر أحدكم الموت حين الوصية اثنان ذوا عدل منكم أو آخران من غيركم إن أنتم ضربتم في الأرض فأصابتكم مصيبة الموت تحبسونهما من بعد الصلاة فيقسمان بالله إن ارتبتم لا نشتري به ثمنا ولو كان ذا قربى ولا نكتم شهادة الله إنا إذا لمن الآثمين

5:107. If it is found that both of them were guilty of sin (i.e. perjury), then let two others stand in their place from those most entitled as claimants (among the deceased’s closest heirs affected by the bequest). Then they should swear by Allah (saying:) ‘Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Otherwise, we would indeed be among the wrongdoers.’

فإن عثر على أنهما استحقا إثما فآخران يقومان مقامهما من الذين استحق عليهم الأوليان فيقسمان بالله لشهادتنا أحق من شهادتهما وما اعتدينا إنا إذا لمن الظالمين

5:108. It is more likely that they (i.e. the witnesses) will give the testimony in its accurate form or fear that their oaths might be refuted by other oaths afterwards. Be conscious of Allah and listen. Allah does not guide the transgressing people.

ذلك أدنى أن يأتوا بالشهادة على وجهها أو يخافوا أن ترد أيمان بعد أيمانهم واتقوا الله واسمعوا والله لا يهدي القوم الفاسقين

5:109. The Day when Allah will gather the messengers and say: ‘What response did you receive?’ They will say: ‘We have no knowledge (compared to You). Indeed, You are the Great Knower of all unseen things.’

يوم يجمع الله الرسل فيقول ماذا أجبتم قالوا لا علم لنا إنك أنت علام الغيوب

5:110. When Allah will say: ‘O ‘Isa, son of Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary), remember My blessing upon you, and upon your mother when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit so that you would speak to the people in the cradle and adulthood, and when I taught you the Scripture, Wisdom, the Torah and the Injil (the Gospel), and when you would create from clay the shape of a bird by My permission, and you would breathe into it and it would become a (flying) bird by My permission, and you would heal the blind and the leper by My permission and you would bring the dead back to life by My permission. And when I restrained the Children of Israel from (killing) you while you brought them clear proofs, but the disbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but clear magic.’

إذ قال الله يا عيسى ابن مريم اذكر نعمتي عليك وعلى والدتك إذ أيدتك بروح القدس تكلم الناس في المهد وكهلا وإذ علمتك الكتاب والحكمة والتوراة والإنجيل وإذ تخلق من الطين كهيئة الطير بإذني فتنفخ فيها فتكون طيرا بإذني وتبرىء الأكمه والأبرص بإذني وإذ تخرج الموتى بإذني وإذ كففت بني إسرائيل عنك إذ جئتهم بالبينات فقال الذين كفروا منهم إن هـذا إلا سحر مبين

5:111. And when I inspired the disciples to believe in Me and My messenger (‘Isa [Jesus]), they said: ‘We believe and bear witness that we submit to God entirely (i.e. that we are Muslims).’

وإذ أوحيت إلى الحواريين أن آمنوا بي وبرسولي قالوا آمنا واشهد بأننا مسلمون

5:112. When the disciples said: ‘O ‘Isa, son of Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary)! Can your Lord send down to us a feast (i.e. a table spread with food) from heaven?’ ‘Isa (Jesus) said: ‘Be conscious of Allah if you are (true) believers.’

إذ قال الحواريون يا عيسى ابن مريم هل يستطيع ربك أن ينزل علينا مآئدة من السماء قال اتقوا الله إن كنتم مؤمنين

5:113. They said: ‘We desire to eat from it so that our hearts will be at peace, and we shall know that you have told us the truth, and we shall be among the witnesses to it.’

قالوا نريد أن نأكل منها وتطمئن قلوبنا ونعلم أن قد صدقتنا ونكون عليها من الشاهدين

5:114. ‘Isa, the son of Maryam (Jesus, the son of Mary) said: ‘O Allah, our Lord! Send down to us a feast (i.e. a table spread with food) from heaven to be a festival for us, for the first of us and the last of us, and as a sign from Yourself. And provide for us, for You are the best of providers.’

قال عيسى ابن مريم اللهم ربنا أنزل علينا مآئدة من السماء تكون لنا عيدا لأولنا وآخرنا وآية منك وارزقنا وأنت خير الرازقين

5:115. Allah said: ‘I am sending it down to you. But whosoever among you disbelieves after this, I shall subject him to a punishment I have never inflicted on any other in all the worlds.’

قال الله إني منزلها عليكم فمن يكفر بعد منكم فإني أعذبه عذابا لا أعذبه أحدا من العالمين

5:116. And when Allah will say: ‘O ‘Isa, son of Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary)! Did you say to the people: ‘Take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?’’ He will say: ‘Glory be to You! It does not befit me that I should say what I have no right to (say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is (hidden) within me, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, You are the Great Knower of all unseen things.

وإذ قال الله يا عيسى ابن مريم أأنت قلت للناس اتخذوني وأمي إلـهين من دون الله قال سبحانك ما يكون لي أن أقول ما ليس لي بحق إن كنت قلته فقد علمته تعلم ما في نفسي ولا أعلم ما في نفسك إنك أنت علام الغيوب

5:117. I did not tell them (anything) except what You had commanded me (to say): ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was witness over them as long as I remained among them. But since You took me (to Yourself), You were the Watcher over them. And You are Witness over everything.

ما قلت لهم إلا ما أمرتني به أن اعبدوا الله ربي وربكم وكنت عليهم شهيدا ما دمت فيهم فلما توفيتني كنت أنت الرقيب عليهم وأنت على كل شيء شهيد

5:118. If You punish them, they are indeed Your servants. But if You forgive them, You are indeed the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.’

إن تعذبهم فإنهم عبادك وإن تغفر لهم فإنك أنت العزيز الحكيم

5:119. Allah will say: ‘This is the Day when truthfulness shall benefit the truthful. For them shall be Gardens with rivers flowing beneath them, to abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is the ultimate success.

قال الله هذا يوم ينفع الصادقين صدقهم لهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه ذلك الفوز العظيم

5:120. To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in them, and He is All-Capable of everything.

لله ملك السماوات والأرض وما فيهن وهو على كل شيء قدير
