One of the 60 subdivisions of the Quran (half a Juz)
God said, ‘Do not take two gods’- for He is the One God––‘ I alone am the One that you should hold in awe.’
Translation 1260
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him: everlasting obedience is His right. Will you heed anyone other than God
Translation 1260
Whatever good things you possess come from God, and when hardship afflicts you, it is to Him alone you cry out for help
Translation 1260
yet when He has relieved you of your hardship- lo and behold!- some of you attribute partners to your Lord
Translation 1260
Let them show ingratitude for the favours We have shown them; ‘Enjoy your brief time- soon you will know.’
Translation 1260
They set aside part of the sustenance We give them, for [idols] about which they have no true knowledge. By God! You will be questioned about your false inventions
Translation 1260
They assign daughters to God––may He be exalted!––and the [sons] they desire to themselves
Translation 1260
When one of them is given news of the birth of a baby girl, his face darkens and he is filled with gloom
Translation 1260
In his shame he hides himself away from his people because of the bad news he has been given. Should he keep her and suffer contempt or bury her in the dust? How ill they judge
Translation 1260
Those who do not believe in the Hereafter should have the contemptible image, and God should have the highest one: He is the Mighty, the Wise
Translation 1260
If God took people to task for the evil they do, He would not leave one living creature on earth, but He reprieves them until an appointed time: when their time comes they cannot delay it for a moment nor can they bring it forward
Translation 1260
They attribute to God what they themselves dislike while their own tongues utter the lie that the best belongs to them. Without doubt it is the Fire that belongs to them: they will be given priority there
Translation 1260
By God, We have sent messengers before you [Muhammad] to other communities, but Satan made their foul deeds seem alluring to them. He is the patron of these present disbelievers too, and a painful punishment awaits them all
Translation 1260
We have sent down the Scripture to you only to make clear to them what they differ about, and as guidance and mercy to those who believe
Translation 1260
It is God who sends water down from the sky and with it revives the earth when it is dead. There truly is a sign in this for people who listen
Translation 1260
In livestock, too, you have a lesson- We give you a drink from the contents of their bellies, between waste matter and blood, pure milk, sweet to the drinker
Translation 1260
From the fruits of date palms and grapes you take sweet juice and wholesome provisions. There truly is a sign in this for people who use their reason
Translation 1260
And your Lord inspired the bee, saying, ‘Build yourselves houses in the mountains and trees and what people construct
Translation 1260
Then feed on all kinds of fruit and follow the ways made easy for you by your Lord.’ From their bellies comes a drink of different colours in which there is healing for people. There truly is a sign in this for those who think
Translation 1260
It is God who has created you and in time will cause you to die. Some of you will be reduced, in old age, to a most abject state, so that, after having knowledge, they will know nothing at all: God is truly all knowing and all powerful
Translation 1260
God has given some of you more provision than others. Those who have been given more are unwilling to pass their provision on to the slaves they possess so that they become their equals. How can they refuse to acknowledge God’s blessings
Translation 1260
And it is God who has given you spouses from amongst yourselves and through them He has given you children and grandchildren and provided you with good things. How can they believe in falsehood and deny God’s blessings
Translation 1260
Those they worship beside God have no power to provide anything for them from the heavens or the earth: they can do nothing
Translation 1260
So do not make up images about God: God knows and you do not
Translation 1260
God presents this illustration: a slave controlled by his master, with no power over anything, and another man We have supplied with good provision, from which he gives alms privately and openly. Can they be considered equal? All praise belongs to God, but most of them do not recognize this
Translation 1260
God presents another illustration: two men, one of them dumb, unable to do anything, a burden to his carer- whatever task he directs him to, he achieves nothing good- can he be considered equal to one who commands justice and is on the straight path
Translation 1260
All that is hidden from view in the heavens and earth belongs to God. The coming of the Hour of Judgement is like the blink of an eye, or even quicker: God has power over everything
Translation 1260
It is God who brought you out of your mothers’ wombs knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and minds, so that you might be thankful
Translation 1260
Do they not see the birds made to fly through the air in the sky? Nothing holds them up except God. There truly are signs in this for those who believe
Translation 1260
It is God who has given you a place of rest in your homes and from the skins of animals made you homes that you find light [to handle] when you travel and when you set up camp; furnishings and comfort for a while from their wool, fur, and hair
Translation 1260
It is God who has given you shade from what He has created, and places of shelter in the mountains; garments to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you in your wars. In this way He perfects His blessings on you, so that you may devote yourselves to Him
Translation 1260
But if they turn away [Prophet], your only duty is to deliver the message clearly
Translation 1260
They know God’s blessings, but refuse to recognize them: most of them are ungrateful
Translation 1260
The day will come when We raise up a witness from every community, when the disbelievers will not be allowed to make excuses or amends
Translation 1260
When the evildoers face punishment it will not be lightened for them nor will they be given any respite
Translation 1260
When the idolaters see the partners they joined with God they will say, ‘Our Lord, these are the partners we used to invoke beside You,’ but the partners will retort, ‘You are liars,’
Translation 1260
and on that Day they will offer total submission to God: their false deities will desert them
Translation 1260
Because of the corruption they spread, We shall add torment upon torment for those who disbelieved and barred others from the path of God
Translation 1260
The day will come when We raise up in each community a witness against them, and We shall bring you [Prophet] as a witness against these people, for We have sent the Scripture down to you explaining everything, and as guidance and mercy and good news to those who devote themselves to God
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
[Prophet], when you recite the Quran, seek God’s protection from the outcast, Satan
Translation 1260
He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord
Translation 1260
his power is only over those who ally themselves with him and those who, because of him, join partners with God
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
If people do not believe in God’s revelation, God does not guide them, and a painful punishment awaits them
Translation 1260
Falsehood is fabricated only by those who do not believe in God’s revelation: they are the liars
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
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
Translation 1260
These are people whose hearts, hearing, and sight have been closed off by God: they are heedless
Translation 1260
and there is no doubt that they will be the losers in the Hereafter
Translation 1260
But your Lord will be most forgiving and most merciful to those who leave their homes after persecution, then strive and remain steadfast
Translation 1260
On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, every soul will be paid in full for all its actions- they will not be wronged
Translation 1260
God presents the example of a town that was secure and at ease, with provisions coming to it abundantly from all places. Then it became ungrateful for God’s blessings, so God afflicted it with the garment of famine and fear, for what its people had done
Translation 1260
A messenger who was one of them came to them, but they called him a liar. So punishment overwhelmed them in the midst of their evildoing
Translation 1260
So eat of the good and lawful things God has provided for you and be thankful for His blessings, if it is Him that you worship
Translation 1260
He has forbidden you only these things: carrion, blood, pig’s meat, and animals over which any name other than God’s has been invoked. But if anyone is forced by hunger, not desiring it nor exceeding their immediate need, God is forgiving and merciful
Translation 1260
Do not say falsely, ‘This is lawful and that is forbidden,’ inventing a lie about God: those who invent lies about God will not prosper
Translation 1260
they may have a little enjoyment, but painful punishment awaits them
Translation 1260
[Prophet], We forbade the Jews what We told you about. We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves
Translation 1260
But towards those who do wrong out of ignorance, and afterwards repent and make amends, your Lord is most forgiving and merciful
Translation 1260
Abraham was truly an example: devoutly obedient to God and true in faith. He was not an idolater
Translation 1260
he was thankful for the blessings of God who chose him and guided him to a straight path
Translation 1260
We gave him blessings in this world, and he is among the right-eous in the Hereafter
Translation 1260
Then We revealed to you [Muhammad], ‘Follow the creed of Abraham, a man of pure faith who was not an idolater.’
Translation 1260
The Sabbath was made obligatory only for those who differed about it. On the Day of Resurrection your Lord will judge between them as to their differences
Translation 1260
[Prophet], call [people] to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching. Argue with them in the most courteous way, for your Lord knows best who has strayed from His way and who is rightly guided
Translation 1260
If you [believers] have to respond to an attack, make your response proportionate, but it is best to stand fast
Translation 1260
So [Prophet] be steadfast: your steadfastness comes only from God. Do not grieve over them; do not be distressed by their scheming
Translation 1260
for God is with those who are mindful of Him and who do good
Translation 1260
