بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

God commands justice, doing good, and generosity towards relatives and He forbids what is shameful, blameworthy, and oppressive. He teaches you, so that you may take heed.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Fulfil any pledge you make in God’s name and do not break oaths after you have sworn them, for you have made God your surety: God knows everything you do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do not use your oaths to deceive each other- like a woman who unravels the thread she has firmly spun- just because one party may be more numerous than another. God tests you with this, and on the Day of the Resurrection He will make clear to you those things you differed about.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If God so willed, He would have made you all one people, but He leaves to stray whoever He will and guides whoever He will. You will be questioned about your deeds.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do not use your oaths to deceive each other lest any foot should slip after being firmly placed and lest you should taste the penalty for having hindered others from the path of God, and suffer terrible torment.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do not sell for a small price any pledge made in God’s name: what God has [to give] is better for you, if you only knew.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

What you have runs out but what God has endures, and We shall certainly reward those who remain steadfast according to the best of their actions.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], when you recite the Quran, seek God’s protection from the outcast, Satan.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

his power is only over those who ally themselves with him and those who, because of him, join partners with God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When We substitute one revelation for another- and God knows best what He reveals- they say, ‘You are just making it up,’ but most of them have no knowledge.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say that the Holy Spirit has brought the Revelation with the Truth step by step from your Lord, to strengthen the believers and as guidance and good news to the devout.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We know very well that they say, ‘It is a man who teaches him,’ but the language of the person they allude to is foreign, while this revelation is in clear Arabic.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If people do not believe in God’s revelation, God does not guide them, and a painful punishment awaits them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Falsehood is fabricated only by those who do not believe in God’s revelation: they are the liars.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

With the exception of those who are forced to say they do not believe, although their hearts remain firm in faith, those who reject God after believing in Him and open their hearts to disbelief will have the wrath of God upon them and a grievous punishment awaiting them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This is because they love the life of this world more than the one to come, and God does not guide those who reject Him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

These are people whose hearts, hearing, and sight have been closed off by God: they are heedless,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and there is no doubt that they will be the losers in the Hereafter.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But your Lord will be most forgiving and most merciful to those who leave their homes after persecution, then strive and remain steadfast.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
