3. Ali 'Imran

3:93

كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِّبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ اِسْرَآءِیْلُ عَلٰی نَفْسِهٖ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرٰىةُ ؕ قُلْ فَاْتُوْا بِالتَّوْرٰىةِ فَاتْلُوْهَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ

Every (kind of) food was lawful for the children of Isrā’īl, except what Isrā’īl had made unlawful for himself, well before the Torah was revealed. Say, “Then, bring the Torah and recite it, if you are true.”
3:94

فَمَنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ

Then those who forge the lie against Allah, after all this,- they are the transgressors.
3:95

قُلْ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ ۫ فَاتَّبِعُوْا مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ حَنِیْفًا ؕ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ

Say, “Allah has told the truth. So, follow the Faith of Ibrāhīm, the upright one. He was not one of those who ascribe partners to Allah.”
3:96

اِنَّ اَوَّلَ بَیْتٍ وُّضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِیْ بِبَكَّةَ مُبٰرَكًا وَّهُدًی لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ

The first house set up for the people is surely the one in Makkah having blessings and guidance for all the worlds.
3:97

فِیْهِ اٰیٰتٌۢ بَیِّنٰتٌ مَّقَامُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ ۚ۬ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهٗ كَانَ اٰمِنًا ؕ وَلِلّٰهِ عَلَی النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَیْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ اِلَیْهِ سَبِیْلًا ؕ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِیٌّ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

In it there are clear signs: The Station of Ibrāhīm! Whoever enters it is secure. As a right of Allah, it is obligatory on the people to perform Hajj of the House - on everyone who has the ability to manage (his) way to it. If one disbelieves, then Allah is independant of all the worlds.
3:98

قُلْ یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ۖۗ وَاللّٰهُ شَهِیْدٌ عَلٰی مَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

Say, “O people of the Book, why do you reject the verses of Allah while Allah is witness to what you do?”
3:99

قُلْ یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ تَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا وَّاَنْتُمْ شُهَدَآءُ ؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

Say, “O people of the Book, why do you hinder the believers from the way of Allah, trying to create crookedness in it, while you yourselves are witnesses (to its being the right way)? Allah is not oblivious of what you do.”
3:100

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تُطِیْعُوْا فَرِیْقًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ یَرُدُّوْكُمْ بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِكُمْ كٰفِرِیْنَ

O you who believe, if you obey a group from those who have been given the Book (i.e. the Christians and the Jews), they will turn you into infidels after you have embraced the faith.
3:101

وَكَیْفَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُتْلٰی عَلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتُ اللّٰهِ وَفِیْكُمْ رَسُوْلُهٗ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّعْتَصِمْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ هُدِیَ اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ

How could you disbelieve while you are the ones to whom the verses of Allah are recited, and present amidst you is His Messenger? Whoever holds on to Allah, is surely led to the straight path.
3:102

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ تُقٰتِهٖ وَلَا تَمُوْتُنَّ اِلَّا وَاَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ

O you who believe, fear Allah, as He should be feared, and let not yourself die save as Muslims.
3:103

وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِحَبْلِ اللّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا وَّلَا تَفَرَّقُوْا ۪ وَاذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ كُنْتُمْ اَعْدَآءً فَاَلَّفَ بَیْنَ قُلُوْبِكُمْ فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهٖۤ اِخْوَانًا ۚ وَكُنْتُمْ عَلٰی شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَاَنْقَذَكُمْ مِّنْهَا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُوْنَ

Hold fast, all of you, to the cord of Allah, and be not divided. Remember the blessing of Allah upon you: When you were enemies to each other, and He brought your hearts together, so that, you became brothers through His blessing. You were at the brink of a pit of Fire, then He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His signs clear to you, so that you may take the right path.
3:104

وَلْتَكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ اُمَّةٌ یَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَی الْخَیْرِ وَیَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَیَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ

There has to be a group of people from among you who call towards the good, and bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair. And it is these who are successful.
3:105

وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ تَفَرَّقُوْا وَاخْتَلَفُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْبَیِّنٰتُ ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ

Do not be like those who became divided and fell into disputes after the clear signs had come to them. Those are the ones for whom there is a grave punishment
3:106

یَّوْمَ تَبْیَضُّ وُجُوْهٌ وَّتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوْهٌ ۚ فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ ۫ اَكَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ اِیْمَانِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ

on a day when some faces shall turn bright, and some faces shall turn dark. As for those whose faces turn dark, (they shall be questioned): “Did you disbelieve after you had accepted the Faith? Now taste the punishment, because you used to disbelieve.”
3:107

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ ابْیَضَّتْ وُجُوْهُهُمْ فَفِیْ رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِ ؕ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

As for those whose faces turn bright, they will rest in Allah’s mercy. They will live there forever.
3:108

تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ اللّٰهِ نَتْلُوْهَا عَلَیْكَ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ

These are the verses of Allah We recite to you with all veracity. Allah does not intend to do injustice to (anyone in) the worlds.
3:109

وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ وَاِلَی اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ

To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. To Allah all matters are returned.
3:110

كُنْتُمْ خَیْرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ ؕ وَلَوْ اٰمَنَ اَهْلُ الْكِتٰبِ لَكَانَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ ؕ مِنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَاَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ

You are the best ‘Ummah ever raised for mankind. You bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair, and you believe in Allah. If the people of the Book had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them, there are believers, while most of them are sinners.
3:111

لَنْ یَّضُرُّوْكُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَذًی ؕ وَاِنْ یُّقَاتِلُوْكُمْ یُوَلُّوْكُمُ الْاَدْبَارَ ۫ ثُمَّ لَا یُنْصَرُوْنَ

They shall never (be able to) cause you any harm except a little hurt. If they fight you, they will turn their backs on you, then they shall not be helped.
3:112

ضُرِبَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ اَیْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوْۤا اِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَبَآءُوْ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَسْكَنَةُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَیَقْتُلُوْنَ الْاَنْۢبِیَآءَ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَّكَانُوْا یَعْتَدُوْنَ

Disgrace has been stamped over them wherever they are found, unless (saved) through a source from Allah and through a source from men, and they have returned with wrath from Allah, and misery has been stamped over them. All this is because they used to deny the signs of Allah, and to slay the prophets unjustly. All this is because they disobeyed and transgressed the limits.
3:113

لَیْسُوْا سَوَآءً ؕ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ اُمَّةٌ قَآىِٕمَةٌ یَّتْلُوْنَ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ اٰنَآءَ الَّیْلِ وَهُمْ یَسْجُدُوْنَ

Not all of them are alike: Among the people of the Book there are those who are steadfast; they recite the verses of Allah in the night hours, and they prostrate themselves;
3:114

یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَیَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَیَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَیُسَارِعُوْنَ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِ ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ

they believe in Allah and the Hereafter, and bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair, and hasten towards good deeds. They are among the righteous.
3:115

وَمَا یَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَیْرٍ فَلَنْ یُّكْفَرُوْهُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ

Whatever good they do, they shall never go unappreciated for it. Allah is All-Aware of the God-fearing.
3:116

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَنْ تُغْنِیَ عَنْهُمْ اَمْوَالُهُمْ وَلَاۤ اَوْلَادُهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

Surely, those who disbelieve, neither their wealth nor their children shall help them against Allah; and they are the people of the Fire. They shall be there forever.
3:117

مَثَلُ مَا یُنْفِقُوْنَ فِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا كَمَثَلِ رِیْحٍ فِیْهَا صِرٌّ اَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَاَهْلَكَتْهُ ؕ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَلٰكِنْ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ

The example of what they spend in this worldly life is just like a wind that, having chill within, struck the tillage of those who wronged themselves, and destroyed it. Allah has not wronged them; rather, they did wrong to themselves.
3:118

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْا بِطَانَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِكُمْ لَا یَاْلُوْنَكُمْ خَبَالًا ؕ وَدُّوْا مَا عَنِتُّمْ ۚ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۖۚ وَمَا تُخْفِیْ صُدُوْرُهُمْ اَكْبَرُ ؕ قَدْ بَیَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

O you who believe, do not take anyone as an insider but those from among your own selves. They would spare no effort to do you mischief. They want you to be in trouble. Malice has come out of their mouths while what is concealed in their hearts is still worse. We have made the signs clear to you, if only you understand.
3:119

هٰۤاَنْتُمْ اُولَآءِ تُحِبُّوْنَهُمْ وَلَا یُحِبُّوْنَكُمْ وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْكِتٰبِ كُلِّهٖ ۚ وَاِذَا لَقُوْكُمْ قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا ۖۗۚ وَاِذَا خَلَوْا عَضُّوْا عَلَیْكُمُ الْاَنَامِلَ مِنَ الْغَیْظِ ؕ قُلْ مُوْتُوْا بِغَیْظِكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

Look, you are the ones who love them and they do not love you. You believe in all the books; (On the other hand,) when they meet you, they say, “We believe”, and when they are alone, they bite their finger-tips out of rage against you. Say, “May you perish in your rage.” Surely, Allah is All-Aware of what lies in the hearts.
3:120

اِنْ تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ؗ وَاِنْ تُصِبْكُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ یَّفْرَحُوْا بِهَا ؕ وَاِنْ تَصْبِرُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا لَا یَضُرُّكُمْ كَیْدُهُمْ شَیْـًٔا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ

If something good happens to you, it annoys them, and if something evil befalls you, they are delighted with it. If you keep patience and fear Allah, their cunning shall not harm you at all. Allah is All-Encompassing of what they do.
3:121

وَاِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ مَقَاعِدَ لِلْقِتَالِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ

Recall the time when you left your house in the morning in order to place the believers in positions for fighting. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
3:122

اِذْ هَمَّتْ طَّآىِٕفَتٰنِ مِنْكُمْ اَنْ تَفْشَلَا ۙ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِیُّهُمَا ؕ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ

When two of your groups were about to lose heart, while Allah was their guardian! It is in Allah alone that the believers must place their trust.
3:123

وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَّاَنْتُمْ اَذِلَّةٌ ۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

Allah certainly supported you at Badr when you were weak. So, fear Allah that you may be grateful
3:124

اِذْ تَقُوْلُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اَلَنْ یَّكْفِیَكُمْ اَنْ یُّمِدَّكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِثَلٰثَةِ اٰلٰفٍ مِّنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ مُنْزَلِیْنَ

When you were saying to the believers, “Shall it not suffice you that your Lord should help you with three thousand of the angels sent down (for you)?”
3:125

بَلٰۤی ۙ اِنْ تَصْبِرُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا وَیَاْتُوْكُمْ مِّنْ فَوْرِهِمْ هٰذَا یُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ اٰلٰفٍ مِّنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ مُسَوِّمِیْنَ

Of course, if you stay patient and fear Allah, and they come upon you even in this heat of theirs, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand of the angels, each having distinct marks.
3:126

وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بُشْرٰی لَكُمْ وَلِتَطْمَىِٕنَّ قُلُوْبُكُمْ بِهٖ ؕ وَمَا النَّصْرُ اِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَكِیْمِ

And Allah did this solely to make it a good news for you, and so that your hearts may be at rest with it. Otherwise, victory is from none but Allah, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise.
3:127

لِیَقْطَعَ طَرَفًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَوْ یَكْبِتَهُمْ فَیَنْقَلِبُوْا خَآىِٕبِیْنَ

(Allah helped you) so that He may cut off a flank of disbelievers or throw them down in disgrace, and they go back frustrated.
3:128

لَیْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْاَمْرِ شَیْءٌ اَوْ یَتُوْبَ عَلَیْهِمْ اَوْ یُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ

You have no authority in the matter, unless Allah forgives them or punishes them, as they are unjust.
3:129

وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ

To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. He forgives whomsoever He wills and punishes whomsoever He wills. Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
3:130

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَاْكُلُوا الرِّبٰۤوا اَضْعَافًا مُّضٰعَفَةً ۪ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ

O you who believe, do not eat up the amounts acquired through Ribā (interest), doubled and multiplied. Fear Allah, so that you may be successful,
3:131

وَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّتِیْۤ اُعِدَّتْ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ

and fear the Fire that has been prepared for the disbelievers.
3:132

وَاَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوْلَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

Obey Allah and the Messenger, so that you may be blessed.
3:133

وَسَارِعُوْۤا اِلٰی مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ ۙ اُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ

Race with one another towards Forgiveness from your Lord and towards a paradise the width of which spans the heavens and the earth. It has been prepared for the God-fearing,
3:134

الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ فِی السَّرَّآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَالْكٰظِمِیْنَ الْغَیْظَ وَالْعَافِیْنَ عَنِ النَّاسِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ

-the ones who spend (for Allah’s sake) in prosperity and adversity, and those who control anger and forgive people. And Allah loves those who are good in their deeds,
3:135

وَالَّذِیْنَ اِذَا فَعَلُوْا فَاحِشَةً اَوْ ظَلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوْا لِذُنُوْبِهِمْ ۪ وَمَنْ یَّغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ۪۫ وَلَمْ یُصِرُّوْا عَلٰی مَا فَعَلُوْا وَهُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ

-and those who, when they happen to commit a shameful act or wrong themselves, remember Allah, then, seek forgiveness for their sins-and who is there to forgive sins except Allah?-and do not persist in what they have done, knowingly.
3:136

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَجَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ وَنِعْمَ اَجْرُ الْعٰمِلِیْنَ

Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow where they shall live forever. And excellent is the reward of those who work.
3:137

قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ سُنَنٌ ۙ فَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِیْنَ

Many patterns of behavior have passed before you. So, traverse the land and see what was the fate of those who rejected (the prophets).
3:138

هٰذَا بَیَانٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدًی وَّمَوْعِظَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَ

This is a declaration for mankind, and guidance, and a lesson for the God-fearing.
3:139

وَلَا تَهِنُوْا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَاَنْتُمُ الْاَعْلَوْنَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

Do not lose heart and do not grieve, and you are the upper-most if you are believers.
3:140

اِنْ یَّمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهٗ ؕ وَتِلْكَ الْاَیَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَیْنَ النَّاسِ ۚ وَلِیَعْلَمَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَیَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ شُهَدَآءَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

If you have received a wound, they have received a similar wound. Such days We rotate among the people, so that Allah may know those who believe and let some of you be martyrs - and Allah does not like the unjust
3:141

وَلِیُمَحِّصَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَیَمْحَقَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

- and so that Allah may purify those who believe and eradicate the disbelievers.
3:142

اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا یَعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ جٰهَدُوْا مِنْكُمْ وَیَعْلَمَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ

Do you think that you shall enter Paradise even before Allah knows those of you who carry out Jihād and those who are steadfast.
3:143

وَلَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَلْقَوْهُ ۪ فَقَدْ رَاَیْتُمُوْهُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُوْنَ

You had longed for death before you faced it. Now, you have seen it with your eyes wide open.
3:144

وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ اِلَّا رَسُوْلٌ ۚ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ ؕ اَفَاۡىِٕنْ مَّاتَ اَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلٰۤی اَعْقَابِكُمْ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّنْقَلِبْ عَلٰی عَقِبَیْهِ فَلَنْ یَّضُرَّ اللّٰهَ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَسَیَجْزِی اللّٰهُ الشّٰكِرِیْنَ

MuHammad is but a messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels? Whoever turns back on his heels can never harm Allah in the least. Allah shall soon reward the grateful.
3:145

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ اَنْ تَمُوْتَ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ كِتٰبًا مُّؤَجَّلًا ؕ وَمَنْ یُّرِدْ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْیَا نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَا ۚ وَمَنْ یُّرِدْ ثَوَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَا ؕ وَسَنَجْزِی الشّٰكِرِیْنَ

It is not the choice of a person to die without the will of Allah, death being a time-bound destiny. Whoever seeks a reward in this world, We shall give him out of it, and whoever seeks a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give him out of it. We shall soon reward the grateful.
3:146

وَكَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ نَّبِیٍّ قٰتَلَ ۙ مَعَهٗ رِبِّیُّوْنَ كَثِیْرٌ ۚ فَمَا وَهَنُوْا لِمَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوْا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوْا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ

There have been many prophets with whom many men of Allah have fought; they did not lose heart for what they suffered in the way of Allah, nor did they become weak, nor did they yield. Allah loves the steadfast.
3:147

وَمَا كَانَ قَوْلَهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَا وَاِسْرَافَنَا فِیْۤ اَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَی الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

They had nothing else to say except that they said: “Our Lord, forgive us our sins and our excesses in our conduct, make firm our feet and help us against the disbelieving people.”
3:148

فَاٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْیَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ الْاٰخِرَةِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ

So, Allah gave them the return in this world and also the better rewards in the Hereafter. Allah loves those who do good.
3:149

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تُطِیْعُوا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَرُدُّوْكُمْ عَلٰۤی اَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ

O you who believe, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will make you turn back on your heels, then you shall turn into losers.
3:150

بَلِ اللّٰهُ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ خَیْرُ النّٰصِرِیْنَ

Instead, Allah is your Lord, and He is the best of all helpers.
3:151

سَنُلْقِیْ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ بِمَاۤ اَشْرَكُوْا بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا ۚ وَمَاْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ مَثْوَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

We shall put awe into the hearts of those who disbelieve, since they have associated with Allah something for which He has not sent any authority. Their ultimate place is the Fire; and evil is the abode of the unjust.
3:152

وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهٗۤ اِذْ تَحُسُّوْنَهُمْ بِاِذْنِهٖ ۚ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِ وَعَصَیْتُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَاۤ اَرٰىكُمْ مَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ ؕ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّرِیْدُ الدُّنْیَا وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّرِیْدُ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِیَبْتَلِیَكُمْ ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

Allah has surely fulfilled His promise to you when you, with His will, were killing them off, until you showed weakness and disputed in the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you what you liked.Among you there were some who were seeking the mundane, and among you there were others who were seeking the Hereafter. After that, He reversed your position against them, so that He may test you. Of course, He has forgiven you. Allah is All-Gracious to the believers.
3:153

اِذْ تُصْعِدُوْنَ وَلَا تَلْوٗنَ عَلٰۤی اَحَدٍ وَّالرَّسُوْلُ یَدْعُوْكُمْ فِیْۤ اُخْرٰىكُمْ فَاَثَابَكُمْ غَمًّا بِغَمٍّ لِّكَیْلَا تَحْزَنُوْا عَلٰی مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا مَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِیْرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ

When you were going away, not even turning to look at anyone, and the Messenger was calling you from behind you. He awarded you sorrow for sorrow, so that you should not grieve (in future) over what you lost, or for what you suffered. Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
3:154

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ اَمَنَةً نُّعَاسًا یَّغْشٰی طَآىِٕفَةً مِّنْكُمْ ۙ وَطَآىِٕفَةٌ قَدْ اَهَمَّتْهُمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ یَظُنُّوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ غَیْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَاهِلِیَّةِ ؕ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هَلْ لَّنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ؕ قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَمْرَ كُلَّهٗ لِلّٰهِ ؕ یُخْفُوْنَ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ مَّا لَا یُبْدُوْنَ لَكَ ؕ یَقُوْلُوْنَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ شَیْءٌ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هٰهُنَا ؕ قُلْ لَّوْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ بُیُوْتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِیْنَ كُتِبَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ اِلٰی مَضَاجِعِهِمْ ۚ وَلِیَبْتَلِیَ اللّٰهُ مَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ وَلِیُمَحِّصَ مَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

Then, after the grief, He poured tranquility upon you - a drowsiness overtaking a group of you. Another group was worrying about their own selves, harboring thoughts about Allah that were untrue - thoughts of ignorance. They were saying, “Is there anything in our hands?” Say, “The whole thing belongs to Allah.” They conceal in their hearts what they do not disclose to you.They say, “If we had any say in the matter, we would not have been killed here.”Say, “If you were in your homes, those destined to be killed would have come out all the way to their (final) resting -places.” (All this was done) so that Allah may test your inner qualities and may purify what is in your hearts. Allah is All-Aware of what lies in the hearts.
3:155

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ یَوْمَ الْتَقَی الْجَمْعٰنِ ۙ اِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوْا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِیْمٌ

Surely, those of you who turned back on the day when the two troops faced each other, Satan had but made them slip for some of their deeds. Of course, Allah has forgiven them. Certainly, Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Forbearing.
3:156

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَقَالُوْا لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ اِذَا ضَرَبُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ اَوْ كَانُوْا غُزًّی لَّوْ كَانُوْا عِنْدَنَا مَا مَاتُوْا وَمَا قُتِلُوْا ۚ لِیَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحْیٖ وَیُمِیْتُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ

O you who believe, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brethren while they travelled on the earth or had to fight, “Had they been with us, they would have not died, nor would they have been killed.” The result is that Allah makes it a remorse resting in their hearts. Allah gives life and brings death; Allah is watchful of what you do.
3:157

وَلَىِٕنْ قُتِلْتُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ

If you are killed in the way of Allah or die, the forgiveness from Allah and the mercy is far better than what they accumulate
3:158

وَلَىِٕنْ مُّتُّمْ اَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَاۡاِلَی اللّٰهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ

If you die or get killed, it is towards Allah that you shall be gathered.
3:159

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِیْظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوْا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ ۪ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِ ۚ فَاِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِیْنَ

So, (O Prophet) it is through mercy from Allah that you are gentle to them. Had you been rough and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you. So, pardon them, and seek Forgiveness for them. Consult them in the matter and, once you have taken a decision, place your trust in Allah. Surely, Allah loves those who place their trust in Him.
3:160

اِنْ یَّنْصُرْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِیْ یَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِهٖ ؕ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ

If Allah helps you, there is none to overcome you. And if He abandons you, then, who is there to help you after that? In Allah the believers should place their trust.
3:161

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِیٍّ اَنْ یَّغُلَّ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّغْلُلْ یَاْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفّٰی كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ

It is not conceivable from a prophet to misappropriate the spoils. Whoever misappropriates shall bring forth, on Doomsday, what he misappropriated. Then, everybody shall be paid, in full, for what he has earned, and they shall not be wronged.
3:162

اَفَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَ اللّٰهِ كَمَنْ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ

How then, could one who submits to the pleasure of Allah be equal to him who returns with displeasure from Allah? His ultimate place is the Fire; and what an evil end it is!
3:163

هُمْ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِیْرٌ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

They are of various ranks with Allah. Allah is watchful of what they do.
3:164

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اِذْ بَعَثَ فِیْهِمْ رَسُوْلًا مِّنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ یَتْلُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ وَیُزَكِّیْهِمْ وَیُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ ۚ وَاِنْ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

Allah has surely conferred favor on the believers when He raised in their midst a messenger from among themselves who recites to them His verses and makes them pure and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, while earlier, they were in open error.
3:165

اَوَلَمَّاۤ اَصَابَتْكُمْ مُّصِیْبَةٌ قَدْ اَصَبْتُمْ مِّثْلَیْهَا ۙ قُلْتُمْ اَنّٰی هٰذَا ؕ قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اَنْفُسِكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ

How is it that, when you suffered a hardship the twice of which you had inflicted upon them, you say, “Where did this come from?” Say, “This is from your own selves. Allah is surely Powerful over everything.”
3:166

وَمَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْتَقَی الْجَمْعٰنِ فَبِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِیَعْلَمَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

Whatever you suffered on the day when the two troops faced each other was by the will of Allah, and in order to know the believers,
3:167

وَلِیَعْلَمَ الَّذِیْنَ نَافَقُوْا ۖۚ وَقِیْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا قَاتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَوِ ادْفَعُوْا ؕ قَالُوْا لَوْ نَعْلَمُ قِتَالًا لَّاتَّبَعْنٰكُمْ ؕ هُمْ لِلْكُفْرِ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ اَقْرَبُ مِنْهُمْ لِلْاِیْمَانِ ۚ یَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ مَّا لَیْسَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا یَكْتُمُوْنَ

and in order to know those who are hypocrites. It was said to them, “Come on, fight in the way of Allah, or defend.” They said, “Had we known it to be a fight we would have certainly followed you.” That day, they were nearer to disbelief than they were to Belief. They utter from their mouths what is not in their hearts. Allah knows well what they conceal.
3:168

اَلَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ وَقَعَدُوْا لَوْ اَطَاعُوْنَا مَا قُتِلُوْا ؕ قُلْ فَادْرَءُوْا عَنْ اَنْفُسِكُمُ الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ

Those who said about their brethren, while themselves sitting, “Had they obeyed us, they would have not been killed.” Say, “Then avert death from yourselves if you are true.”
3:169

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ قُتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَمْوَاتًا ؕ بَلْ اَحْیَآءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ یُرْزَقُوْنَ

Never take those killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, well-provided,
3:170

فَرِحِیْنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۙ وَیَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ بِالَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَلْحَقُوْا بِهِمْ مِّنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ۙ اَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ

happy with what Allah has given them of His grace; and they feel pleased with the good news, about those left behind them who could not join them, that there shall be no fear for them nor shall they grieve.
3:171

یَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَضْلٍ ۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

They feel pleased with blessing from Allah, and grace, and with the fact that Allah would not let the reward of the believers be lost.
3:172

اَلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمُ الْقَرْحُ ۛؕ لِلَّذِیْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّقَوْا اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ

Those who responded to the call of Allah and the Messenger, even after they had received the wound, for those of them who did good deeds and feared Allah there is a great reward
3:173

اَلَّذِیْنَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ اِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوْا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ اِیْمَانًا ۖۗ وَّقَالُوْا حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِیْلُ

- (that is) those to whom people said, “The people have gathered against you; so, fear them.” It increased them in Faith and they said, “Allah is fully sufficient for us, and the best One in whom to trust.”
3:174

فَانْقَلَبُوْا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَضْلٍ لَّمْ یَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوْٓءٌ ۙ وَّاتَّبَعُوْا رِضْوَانَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَظِیْمٍ

So, they returned with bounty from Allah, and grace, with no evil having even touched them, and submitted to the pleasure of Allah. Allah is the Lord of great bounty.
3:175

اِنَّمَا ذٰلِكُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ یُخَوِّفُ اَوْلِیَآءَهٗ ۪ فَلَا تَخَافُوْهُمْ وَخَافُوْنِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

It is none but Satan who frightens (you) of his friends. So, do not fear them; but fear Me, if you are believers.
3:176

وَلَا یَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُسَارِعُوْنَ فِی الْكُفْرِ ۚ اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ یَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَیْـًٔا ؕ یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَلَّا یَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظًّا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ

Those who hasten towards disbelief should not make you grieve. They cannot harm Allah at all. Allah intends not to spare for them any share in the Hereafter. For them there is a mighty punishment.
3:177

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اشْتَرَوُا الْكُفْرَ بِالْاِیْمَانِ لَنْ یَّضُرُّوا اللّٰهَ شَیْـًٔا ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

Certainly, those who bought disbelief in exchange for Belief cannot harm Allah at all. For them there is a painful punishment.
3:178

وَلَا یَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنَّمَا نُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ خَیْرٌ لِّاَنْفُسِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّمَا نُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ لِیَزْدَادُوْۤا اِثْمًا ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ

Those who disbelieve should not think that the respite We give them is good for them. In fact, We give them respite only that they may increase in sin, and for them there is a humiliating punishment.
3:179

مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیَذَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ حَتّٰی یَمِیْزَ الْخَبِیْثَ مِنَ الطَّیِّبِ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَی الْغَیْبِ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَجْتَبِیْ مِنْ رُّسُلِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ۪ فَاٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖ ۚ وَاِنْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا فَلَكُمْ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ

Allah is not to leave the believers in the state you are in, unless He separates the impure from the pure. Allah is not to inform you of the Unseen. But Allah selects from His messengers whom He wills. So, believe in Allah and His messengers. If you believe, and fear Allah, you will deserve a great reward.
3:180

وَلَا یَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَبْخَلُوْنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ هُوَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ ؕ بَلْ هُوَ شَرٌّ لَّهُمْ ؕ سَیُطَوَّقُوْنَ مَا بَخِلُوْا بِهٖ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ وَلِلّٰهِ مِیْرَاثُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ

Those who withhold in miserliness what Allah has given them out of His grace should not take it as good for them. Instead, it is bad for them. They shall be forced, on the Doomsday, to put on what they withheld, as iron-collars round their necks. To Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth. Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
3:181

لَقَدْ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوْلَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ فَقِیْرٌ وَّنَحْنُ اَغْنِیَآءُ ۘ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَالُوْا وَقَتْلَهُمُ الْاَنْۢبِیَآءَ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّ ۙ وَّنَقُوْلُ ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْحَرِیْقِ

Allah has surely heard the words of those who said, “Allah is poor, and we are rich.”We shall write down what they said, and their killing of the prophets unjustly; and We shall say, “Taste the punishment of the flaming fire.
3:182

ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَیْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِیْدِ

This is due to what your hands sent ahead and that Allah is not cruel to His servants.”
3:183

اَلَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَهِدَ اِلَیْنَاۤ اَلَّا نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُوْلٍ حَتّٰی یَاْتِیَنَا بِقُرْبَانٍ تَاْكُلُهُ النَّارُ ؕ قُلْ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِیْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ وَبِالَّذِیْ قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوْهُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ

(There are) those who have said, “Allah has directed us that we should not believe in a messenger unless he comes to us with an offering to be eaten up by the fire.”Say, “A number of messengers have come to you, before me, with clear signs and with what you have said. So, why did you kill them, if you are true?
3:184

فَاِنْ كَذَّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَ رُسُلٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ جَآءُوْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَالْكِتٰبِ الْمُنِیْرِ

Then if they reject you, then messengers have been rejected before you. They came with clear signs and the Scriptures and the enlightening Book.
3:185

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ؕ وَاِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ اُجُوْرَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَاُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ ؕ وَمَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَاۤ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُوْرِ

Every soul has to taste death. It is on the Day of Judgement that you shall be paid your rewards in full. So, whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has really succeeded. The worldly life is nothing but an illusionary enjoyment.
3:186

لَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِیْۤ اَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْ ۫ وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْۤا اَذًی كَثِیْرًا ؕ وَاِنْ تَصْبِرُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا فَاِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِ

Of course, you shall be tested in your wealth and yourselves; and, of course, you shall hear hurting statements from those who have been given the Book before you, and from those who associate (others with Allah in His divinity). If you observe patience and fear Allah, then this (observance) is among the matters of firm resolution.
3:187

وَاِذْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِیْثَاقَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ لَتُبَیِّنُنَّهٗ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُوْنَهٗ ؗ فَنَبَذُوْهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ وَاشْتَرَوْا بِهٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ؕ فَبِئْسَ مَا یَشْتَرُوْنَ

When Allah took a pledge from those who were given the Book: “You shall make it known to people, and you shall not conceal it,” they threw it away behind their backs, and acquired a small price for it. So, evil is what they acquire.
3:188

لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَفْرَحُوْنَ بِمَاۤ اَتَوْا وَّیُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یُّحْمَدُوْا بِمَا لَمْ یَفْعَلُوْا فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّهُمْ بِمَفَازَةٍ مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

Do not think of those who are delighted with what they did, and love to be praised for what they never did - do not think they are secure from the punishment. For them there is a painful punishment.
3:189

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ

To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Allah is powerful to do every thing.
3:190

اِنَّ فِیْ خَلْقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ الَّیْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّاُولِی الْاَلْبَابِ

Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for the people of wisdom,
3:191

الَّذِیْنَ یَذْكُرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ قِیٰمًا وَّقُعُوْدًا وَّعَلٰی جُنُوْبِهِمْ وَیَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ فِیْ خَلْقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۚ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هٰذَا بَاطِلًا ۚ سُبْحٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

who remember Allah standing and sitting, and (lying) on their sides, and ponder on the creation of the heavens and the earth (and say) “Our Lord, You have not created all this in vain. We proclaim Your purity. So, save us from the punishment of Fire.
3:192

رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ مَنْ تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ اَخْزَیْتَهٗ ؕ وَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ اَنْصَارٍ

Our Lord, whomsoever You admit into the Fire, he is disgraced by You indeed, and for the unjust there are no supporters.
3:193

رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِیًا یُّنَادِیْ لِلْاِیْمَانِ اَنْ اٰمِنُوْا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاٰمَنَّا ۖۗ رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَیِّاٰتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْاَبْرَارِ

Our Lord, We heard a herald calling towards Faith: ‘Believe in your Lord.’ So we believed.Our Lord, forgive us, then, our sins, and write off our evil deeds, and make us die only when we have joined the righteous.
3:194

رَبَّنَا وَاٰتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَّنَا عَلٰی رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِیْعَادَ

Our Lord, give us what You have promised us through Your messengers, and do not put us to disgrace on the Day of Judgement. Surely you do not go back on Your promise.”
3:195

فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ اَنِّیْ لَاۤ اُضِیْعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ مِّنْكُمْ مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ اَوْ اُ ۚ بَعْضُكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْضٍ ۚ فَالَّذِیْنَ هَاجَرُوْا وَاُخْرِجُوْا مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ وَاُوْذُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِیْ وَقٰتَلُوْا وَقُتِلُوْا لَاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَلَاُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ۚ ثَوَابًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عِنْدَهٗ حُسْنُ الثَّوَابِ

So, their Lord answered their prayer: “I do not allow the labour of any worker from among you, male or female, to go to waste. You are similar to one another. So, those who emigrated, and were expelled from their homes, and were tortured in My way, and fought, and were killed, I shall certainly write off their evil deeds, and shall certainly admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. It is Allah with Whom lies the beauty of the reward.
3:196

لَا یَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِی الْبِلَادِ

The strutting of the disbelievers about the land should not deceive you.
3:197

مَتَاعٌ قَلِیْلٌ ۫ ثُمَّ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ

It is just a little enjoyment. After that, their resort is Hell; and it is an evil abode.
3:198

لٰكِنِ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا نُزُلًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ لِّلْاَبْرَارِ

But those who fear their Lord, for them there are Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live forever - as hospitality from Allah. What is with Allah is best for the righteous.
3:199

وَاِنَّ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ لَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكُمْ وَمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْهِمْ خٰشِعِیْنَ لِلّٰهِ ۙ لَا یَشْتَرُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ

Surely, among the people of the Book there are those who believe in Allah, and in what has been sent down to you and what has been sent down to them, humbling themselves before Allah. They do not barter away the verses of Allah for paltry (worldly) gains. They have their reward with their Lord. Surely, Allah is swift at reckoning.
3:200

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اصْبِرُوْا وَصَابِرُوْا وَرَابِطُوْا ۫ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ

O you who believe, be patient, compete with each other in patience, and guard your frontiers and fear Allah, so that you may be successful.

4. An-Nisa

4:1

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ وَّخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِیْرًا وَّنِسَآءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْ تَسَآءَلُوْنَ بِهٖ وَالْاَرْحَامَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلَیْكُمْ رَقِیْبًا

O men, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul, and from it created its match, and spread many men and women from the two. Fear Allah in whose name you ask each other (for your rights), and fear (the violation of the rights of) the womb-relations. Surely, Allah is watchful over you.
4:2

وَاٰتُوا الْیَتٰمٰۤی اَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبِیْثَ بِالطَّیِّبِ ۪ وَلَا تَاْكُلُوْۤا اَمْوَالَهُمْ اِلٰۤی اَمْوَالِكُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حُوْبًا كَبِیْرًا

Give the orphans their property, and do not substitute what is bad for what is good, and do not eat up their property along with your own. It is, surely, a great sin.
4:3

وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تُقْسِطُوْا فِی الْیَتٰمٰی فَانْكِحُوْا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَآءِ مَثْنٰی وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبٰعَ ۚ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوْا فَوَاحِدَةً اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُكُمْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰۤی اَلَّا تَعُوْلُوْا

If you fear that you will not do justice to the orphans, then, marry the women you like, in twos, in threes and in fours. But, if you fear that you will not maintain equity, then (keep to) one woman, or bondwomen you own. It will be closer to abstaining from injustice.
4:4

وَاٰتُوا النِّسَآءَ صَدُقٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةً ؕ فَاِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَیْءٍ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًا فَكُلُوْهُ هَنِیْٓـًٔا مَّرِیْٓـًٔا

Give women their dower in good cheer. Then, if they forego some of it, of their own will, you may have it as pleasant and joyful.
4:5

وَلَا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَآءَ اَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِیْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ قِیٰمًا وَّارْزُقُوْهُمْ فِیْهَا وَاكْسُوْهُمْ وَقُوْلُوْا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا

Do not give the feeble-minded your property that Allah has made a means of support for you, and do feed them from it, and clothe them, and speak to them in fair words.
4:6

وَابْتَلُوا الْیَتٰمٰی حَتّٰۤی اِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَ ۚ فَاِنْ اٰنَسْتُمْ مِّنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَاْكُلُوْهَاۤ اِسْرَافًا وَّبِدَارًا اَنْ یَّكْبَرُوْا ؕ وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِیًّا فَلْیَسْتَعْفِفْ ۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ فَقِیْرًا فَلْیَاْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ؕ فَاِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ اِلَیْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فَاَشْهِدُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَكَفٰی بِاللّٰهِ حَسِیْبًا

Test the orphans until they reach the marriageable age. Then, if you perceive in them proper understanding, hand their property over to them, and do not consume it extravagantly and hastily, lest they should grow up. Whoever is rich should abstain (from using it for himself), and whoever is poor may have from it (to the extent of his necessary need) with fairness. So, when you hand their property over to them, make witnesses upon them. Allah is sufficient for reckoning
4:7

لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَ ۪ وَلِلنِّسَآءِ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ اَوْ كَثُرَ ؕ نَصِیْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًا

For men there is a share in what the parents and the nearest of kin have left. And for women there is a share in what the parents and the nearest of kin have left, be it small or large-a determined share.
4:8

وَاِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ اُولُوا الْقُرْبٰی وَالْیَتٰمٰی وَالْمَسٰكِیْنُ فَارْزُقُوْهُمْ مِّنْهُ وَقُوْلُوْا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا

If the relatives (who are not heirs) and the orphans and the needy are present at the time of distribution, give them some of it, and speak to them in fair words.
4:9

وَلْیَخْشَ الَّذِیْنَ لَوْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّیَّةً ضِعٰفًا خَافُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ ۪ فَلْیَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلْیَقُوْلُوْا قَوْلًا سَدِیْدًا

Those people should be fearful (in their behavior towards orphans) who, if they leave behind some helpless children, would remain anxious for them. So, they should fear Allah and say what is right.
4:10

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَاْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ الْیَتٰمٰی ظُلْمًا اِنَّمَا یَاْكُلُوْنَ فِیْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ نَارًا ؕ وَسَیَصْلَوْنَ سَعِیْرًا

Surely, those who unjustly devour the property of the orphans do nothing but devour fire into their bellies, and soon they shall enter a blazing Hell.
4:11

یُوْصِیْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْۤ اَوْلَادِكُمْ ۗ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْاُنْثَیَیْنِ ۚ فَاِنْ كُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَیْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ ۚ وَاِنْ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ ؕ وَلِاَبَوَیْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ اِنْ كَانَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّوَرِثَهٗۤ اَبَوٰهُ فَلِاُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهٗۤ اِخْوَةٌ فَلِاُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصِیْ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍ ؕ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَاَبْنَآؤُكُمْ لَا تَدْرُوْنَ اَیُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا ؕ فَرِیْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا

Allah directs you concerning your children: for a male there is a share equal to that of two females. But, if they are (only) women, more than two, then they get two-thirds of what one leaves behind. If she is one, she gets one-half. As for his parents, for each of them, there is one-sixth of what he leaves in case he has a child. But, if he has no child and his parents have inherited him, then his mother gets one-third. If he has some brothers (or sisters), his mother gets one-sixth, all after (settling) the will he might have made, or a debt. You do not know who, out of your fathers and your sons, is closer to you in benefiting (you). All this is determined by Allah. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
4:12

وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ اَزْوَاجُكُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصِیْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍ ؕ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ لَّكُمْ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ تُوْصُوْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍ ؕ وَاِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ یُّوْرَثُ كَلٰلَةً اَوِ امْرَاَةٌ وَّلَهٗۤ اَخٌ اَوْ اُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فِی الثُّلُثِ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِیَّةٍ یُّوْصٰی بِهَاۤ اَوْ دَیْنٍ ۙ غَیْرَ مُضَآرٍّ ۚ وَصِیَّةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَلِیْمٌ

For you there is one-half of what your wives leave behind, in case they have no child. But, if they have a child, you get one-fourth of what they leave, after (settling) the will they might have made, or a debt. For them (the wives) there is one-fourth of what you leave behind, in case you have no child. But, if you have a child, they get one eighth of what you leave, after (settling) the will you might have made, or a debt. And if a man or a woman is Kalālah (i.e. has neither parents alive, nor children) and has a brother or a sister, then each one of them will get one-sixth. However, if they are more than that, they will be sharers in one-third, after (settling) the will that might have been made, or a debt, provided that the will must not be intended to harm anyone. This is a direction from Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, Forbearing.
4:13

تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ یُدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ؕ وَذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ

These are the limits set by Allah. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow, where he will live forever. That is a great success.
4:14

وَمَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَیَتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَهٗ یُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِیْهَا ۪ وَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ

Whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses the limits set by Him, He shall admit him to the Fire, where he will remain forever. For him there is a humiliating punishment.
4:15

وَالّٰتِیْ یَاْتِیْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِنْ نِّسَآىِٕكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوْا عَلَیْهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنْكُمْ ۚ فَاِنْ شَهِدُوْا فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ فِی الْبُیُوْتِ حَتّٰی یَتَوَفّٰهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ اَوْ یَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِیْلًا

Those of your women who commit the shameful act, have four witnesses (against them) from among you. So, if they testify, then confine those women to their homes until death overcomes them, or Allah prescribes a way for them.
4:16

وَالَّذٰنِ یَاْتِیٰنِهَا مِنْكُمْ فَاٰذُوْهُمَا ۚ فَاِنْ تَابَا وَاَصْلَحَا فَاَعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمَا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِیْمًا

Those two of you who commit it, chastise both of them. However, if they repent and make amends, then, overlook them. Surely, Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful.
4:17

اِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَی اللّٰهِ لِلَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ السُّوْٓءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ یَتُوْبُوْنَ مِنْ قَرِیْبٍ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَكِیْمًا

The relenting taken by Allah upon Himself is for those who do evil in ignorance, then repent shortly thereafter. So, Allah relents towards them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
4:18

وَلَیْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ۚ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ اِنِّیْ تُبْتُ الْـٰٔنَ وَلَا الَّذِیْنَ یَمُوْتُوْنَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِیْمًا

The relenting is not for those who do the evil deeds, until when the time of death approaches one of them, he says, “Now I repent”, nor for those who die while they are still disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment
4:19

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا یَحِلُّ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَآءَ كَرْهًا ؕ وَلَا تَعْضُلُوْهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوْا بِبَعْضِ مَاۤ اٰتَیْتُمُوْهُنَّ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّاْتِیْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَیِّنَةٍ ۚ وَعَاشِرُوْهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ۚ فَاِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوْهُنَّ فَعَسٰۤی اَنْ تَكْرَهُوْا شَیْـًٔا وَّیَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ فِیْهِ خَیْرًا كَثِیْرًا

O you who believe, it is not lawful for you that you should forcibly take women as inheritance. Do not hold on to them so that you may take away some of what you have given them, unless they commit a clearly shameful act. Live with them in the recognized manner. If you dislike them, then it is quite likely that you dislike something and Allah has placed a lot of good in it.
4:20

وَاِنْ اَرَدْتُّمُ اسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍ ۙ وَّاٰتَیْتُمْ اِحْدٰىهُنَّ قِنْطَارًا فَلَا تَاْخُذُوْا مِنْهُ شَیْـًٔا ؕ اَتَاْخُذُوْنَهٗ بُهْتَانًا وَّاِثْمًا مُّبِیْنًا

If you want to take a wife in place of the one (you have), and you have given her plenty of wealth, then do not take any of it back. Would you take it through imputation and open sin?
4:21

وَكَیْفَ تَاْخُذُوْنَهٗ وَقَدْ اَفْضٰی بَعْضُكُمْ اِلٰی بَعْضٍ وَّاَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِّیْثَاقًا غَلِیْظًا

How can you take it when you have had access to each other and they have taken a firm covenant from you?
4:22

وَلَا تَنْكِحُوْا مَا نَكَحَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَّمَقْتًا ؕ وَسَآءَ سَبِیْلًا

Do not marry those women whom your fathers had married except what has passed. It is indeed shameful and detestable, and it is an evil practice.
4:23

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَیْكُمْ اُمَّهٰتُكُمْ وَبَنٰتُكُمْ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمْ وَعَمّٰتُكُمْ وَخٰلٰتُكُمْ وَبَنٰتُ الْاَخِ وَبَنٰتُ الْاُخْتِ وَاُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِیْۤ اَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمْ مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَاُمَّهٰتُ نِسَآىِٕكُمْ وَرَبَآىِٕبُكُمُ الّٰتِیْ فِیْ حُجُوْرِكُمْ مِّنْ نِّسَآىِٕكُمُ الّٰتِیْ دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ ؗ فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ ؗ وَحَلَآىِٕلُ اَبْنَآىِٕكُمُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ اَصْلَابِكُمْ ۙ وَاَنْ تَجْمَعُوْا بَیْنَ الْاُخْتَیْنِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا

Prohibited for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, daughters of brother, daughters of sister, your mothers who suckled you, your sisters through suckling,mothers of your wives and your step-daughters under your care who are born of your women with whom you have had intercourse,-though if you have not had intercourse with them, there is no sin on you,-and the wives of your sons from your loins, and that you combine two sisters (in wedlock), except what has passed. Surely, Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
