Juz 4
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd whoever shall invent a falsehood after that concerning Allah, such will be wrong-doers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: Allah speaketh truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, the upright. He was not of the idolaters.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! the first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Becca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWherein are plain memorials (of Allah's guidance); the place where Abraham stood up to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe. And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind, for him who can find a way thither. As for him who disbelieveth, (let him know that) lo! Allah is Independent of (all) creatures.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve ye in the revelations of Allah, when Allah (Himself) is Witness of what ye do?
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: O People of the Scripture! Why drive ye back believers from the way of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, when ye are witnesses (to Allah's guidance)? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! If ye obey a party of those who have received the Scripture they will make you disbelievers after your belief.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHow can ye disbelieve, when it is ye unto whom Allah's revelations are recited, and His messenger is in your midst? He who holdeth fast to Allah, he indeed is guided unto a right path.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah with right observance, and die not save as those who have surrendered (unto Him)
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah, and do not separate. And remember Allah's favour unto you: How ye were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by His grace; and (how) ye were upon the brink of an abyss of fire, and He did save you from it. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations unto you, that haply ye may be guided,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd there may spring from you a nation who invite to goodness, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency. Such are they who are successful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd be ye not as those who separated and disputed after the clear proofs had come unto them. For such there is an awful doom,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallOn the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some) faces will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be said unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief? Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd as for those whose faces have been whitened, in the mercy of Allah they dwell for ever.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThese are revelations of Allah. We recite them unto thee in truth. Allah willeth no injustice to (His) creatures.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallUnto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and unto Allah all things are returned.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallYe are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be helped.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIgnominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there is a staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night season, falling prostrate (before Him).
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency, and vie one with another in good works. These are of the righteous.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd whatever good they do, they will not be denied the meed thereof. Allah is Aware of those who ward off (evil).
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! the riches and the progeny of those who disbelieve will not avail them aught against Allah; and such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThe likeness of that which they spend in this life of the world is as the likeness of a biting, icy wind which smiteth the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves, and devastateth it. Allah wronged them not, but they do wrong themselves.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Take not for intimates others than your own folk, who would spare no pains to ruin you; they love to hamper you. Hatred is revealed by (the utterance of) their mouths, but that which their breasts hide is greater. We have made plain for you the revelations if ye will understand.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! ye are those who love them though they love you not, and ye believe in all the Scripture. When they fall in with you they say: We believe; but when they go apart they bite their finger-tips at you, for rage. Say: Perish in your rage! Lo! Allah is Aware of what is hidden in (your) breasts.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIf a lucky chance befall you, it is evil unto them, and if disaster strike you they rejoice thereat. But if ye persevere and keep from evil their guile will never harm you. Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when thou settedst forth at daybreak from thy housefolk to assign to the believers their positions for the battle, Allah was Hearer, Knower.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhen two parties of you almost fell away, and Allah was their Protecting Friend. In Allah let believers put their trust.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAllah had already given you the victory at Badr, when ye were contemptible. So observe your duty to Allah in order that ye may be thankful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhen thou didst say unto the believers: Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should support you with three thousand angels sent down (to your help)?
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallNay, but if ye persevere, and keep from evil, and (the enemy) attack you suddenly, your Lord will help you with five thousand angels sweeping on.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAllah ordained this only as a message of good cheer for you, and that thereby your hearts might be at rest - Victory cometh only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise -
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThat He may cut off a part of those who disbelieve, or overwhelm them so that they retire, frustrated.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIt is no concern at all of thee (Muhammad) whether He relent toward them or punish them; for they are evil-doers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallUnto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. He forgiveth whom He will, and punisheth whom He will. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Devour not usury, doubling and quadrupling (the sum lent). Observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd ward off (from yourselves) the Fire prepared for disbelievers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd obey Allah and the messenger, that ye may find mercy.
