The Dinner Table
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
[5.1] O you who believe! fulfill the obligations. The
cattle quadrupeds are allowed to you except that which is
recited to you, not violating the prohibition against game
when you are entering upon the performance of the
pilgrimage; surely Allah orders what He desires.
[5.2] O you who believe! do not violate the signs appointed
by Allah nor the sacred month, nor (interfere with) the
offerings, nor the sacrificial animals with garlands, nor
those going to the sacred house seeking the grace and
pleasure of their Lord; and when you are free from the
obligations of the pilgrimage, then hunt, and let not
hatred of a people-- because they hindered
you from the Sacred Masjid-- incite you to exceed the
limits, and help one another in goodness and piety, and do
not help one another in sin and aggression; and be careful
of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in
requiting (evil).
[5.3] Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and
blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any other name
than that of Allah has been invoked, and
the strangled (animal) and that beaten to death, and that
killed by a fall and that killed by being smitten with the
horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten, except what
you slaughter, and what is sacrificed on stones set up (for
idols) and that you divide by the arrows; that is a
transgression. This day have those who disbelieve despaired
of your religion, so fear them not, and fear Me.
This day have I perfected for you your religion and
completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a
religion; but whoever is compelled by hunger, not
inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
[5.4] They ask you as to what is allowed to them. Say: The
good things are allowed to you, and what you have taught
the beasts and birds of prey, training them to hunt-- you
teach them of what Allah has taught you-- so eat of that
which they catch for you and mention the name of Allah over
it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is
swift in reckoning.
[5.5] This day (all) the good things are allowed to you;
and the food of those who have been given the Book is
lawful for you and your food is lawful for them;
and the chaste from among the believing women and the
chaste from among those who have been given the Book before
you (are lawful for you); when you have
given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not
fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and
whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no
account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the
losers.
[5.6] O you who believe! when you rise up to prayer, wash
your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe
your heads and your feet to the ankles; and
if you are under an obligation to perform a total ablution,
then wash (yourselves) and if you are sick or on a journey,
or one of you come from the privy, or you have touched the
women, and you cannot find water, betake
yourselves to pure earth and wipe your faces and your hands
therewith, Allah does not desire to put on you any
difficulty, but He wishes to purify you and
that He may complete His favor on you, so that you may be
grateful.
[5.7] And remember the favor of Allah on you and His
covenant with which He bound you firmly, when you said: We
have heard and we obey, and be careful of
(your duty to) Allah, surely Allah knows what is in the
breasts.
[5.8] O you who believe! Be upright for Allah, bearers of
witness with justice, and let not hatred of a people incite
you not to act equitably; act equitably,
that is nearer to piety, and he careful of (your duty to)
Allah; surely Allah is Aware of what you do.
[5.9] Allah has promised to those who believe and do good
deeds (that) they shall have forgiveness and a mighty
reward.
[5.10] And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject our
communications, these are the companions of the name.
[5.11] O you who believe! remember Allah's favor on you
when a people had determined to stretch forth their hands
towards you, but He withheld their hands
from you, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; and on
Allah let the believers rely.
[5.12] And certainly Allah made a covenant with the
children of Israel, and We raised up among them twelve
chieftains; and Allah said: Surely I am with you; if
you keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and believe in My
apostles and asslst them and offer to Allah a goodly gift,
I will most certainly cover your evil deeds, and I will
most certainly cause you to enter into gardens beneath
which rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from among you
after that, he indeed shall lose the right way.
[5.13] But on account of their breaking their covenant We
cursed them and made their hearts hard; they altered the
words from their places and they neglected a
portion of what they were reminded of; and you shall always
discover treachery in them excepting a few of them; so
pardon them and turn away; surely Allah
loves those who do good (to others).
[5.14] And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a
covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were
reminded of, therefore We excited among
them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection; and
Allah will inform them of what they did.
[5.15] O followers of the Book! indeed Our Apostle has come
to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of
the Book and passing over much; indeed,
there has come to you light and a clear Book from Allah;
[5.16] With it Allah guides him who will follow His
pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of
utter darkness into light by His will and guides
them to the right path.
[5.17] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah--
He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could
control anything as against Allah when He wished
to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all
those on the earth? And Allah's is the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth and what is between
them; He creates what He pleases; and Allah has power over
all things,
[5.18] And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons
of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then
chastise you for your faults? Nay, you are
mortals from among those whom He has created, He forgives
whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah's
is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is
between them, and to Him is the eventual coming.
[5.19] O followers of the Book! indeed Our Apostle has come
to you explaining to you after a cessation of the (mission
of the) apostles, lest you say: There came
not to us a giver of good news or a warner, so indeed there
has come to you a giver of good news and a warner; and
Allah has power over all things.
[5.20] And when Musa said to his people: O my people!
remember the favor of Allah upon you when He raised
prophets among you and made you kings and gave you
what He had not given to any other among the nations.
[5.21] O my people! enter the holy land which Allah has
prescribed for you and turn not on your backs for then you
will turn back losers.
[5.22] They said: O Musa! surely there is a strong race in
it, and we will on no account enter it until they go out
from it, so if they go out from it, then
surely we will enter.
[5.23] Two men of those who feared, upon both of whom Allah
had bestowed a favor, said: Enter upon them by the gate,
for when you have entered it you shall surely be
victorious, and on Allah should you rely if you are
believers.
[5.24] They said: O Musa! we shall never enter it so long
as they are in it; go therefore you and your Lord, then
fight you both surely we will here sit down.
[5.25] He said: My Lord! Surely I have no control (upon
any) but my own self and my brother; therefore make a
separation between us and the nation of
transgressors.
[5.26] He said: So it shall surely be forbidden to them for
forty years, they shall wander about in the land, therefore
do not grieve for the nation of transgressors.
[5.27] And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam
with truth when they both offered an offering, but it was
accepted from one of them and was not accepted from the
other. He said: I I will most certainly slay you. (The
other) said: Allah only accepts from those who guard
(against evil).
[5.28] If you will stretch forth your hand towards me to
slay me, I am not one to stretch forth my hand towards you
to slay you surely I fear Allah, the Lord
of the worlds:
[5.29] Surely I wish that you should bear the sin committed
against me and your own sin, and so you would be of the
inmates of the fire, and this is the recompense of the
unjust.
[5.30] Then his mind facilitated to him the slaying of his
brother so he slew him; then he became one of the losers
[5.31] Then Allah sent a crow digging up the earth so that
he might show him how he should cover the dead body of his
brother. He said: Woe me! do I lack the
strength that I should be like this crow and cover the dead
body of my brother? So he became of those who regret.
[5.32] For this reason did We prescribe to the children of
Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for
manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is
as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it
is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our
apostles came to them with clear arguments, but
even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in
the land.
[5.33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah
and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is
only this, that they should be murdered
or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut
off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this
shall be as a disgrace for them in this
world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous
chastisement,
[5.34] Except those who repent before you have them in your
power; so know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.35] O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to)
Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in
His way that you may be successful.
[5.36] Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, even if they
had what is in the earth, all of it, and the like of it
with it, that they might ransom themselves
with it from the punishment of the day of resurrection, it
shall not be accepted from them, and they shall have a
painful punishment.
[5.37] They would desire to go forth from the fire, and
they shall not go forth from it, and they shall have a
lasting punishment.
[5.38] And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who
steals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they
have earned, an exemplary punishment from
Allah; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
[5.39] But whoever repents after his iniquity and reforms
(himself), then surely Allah will turn to him (mercifully);
surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.40] Do you not know that Allah-- His is the kingdom of
the heavens and the earth; He chastises whom He pleases;
and forgives whom He pleases and Allah has
power over all things.
[5.41] O Apostle! let not those grieve you who strive
together in hastening to unbelief from among those who say
with their mouths: We believe, and their
hearts do not believe, and from among those who are Jews;
they are listeners for the sake of a lie, listeners for
another people who have not come to you; they
alter the words from their places, saying: If you are given
this, take it, and if you are not given this, be cautious;
and as for him whose temptation Allah desires, you cannot
control anything for him with Allah. Those are they for
whom Allah does not desire that He should purify their
hearts; they shall have disgrace in this world, and they
shall have a grievous chastisement in the
hereafter.
[5.42] (They are) listeners of a lie, devourers of what is
forbidden; therefore if they come to you, judge between
them or turn aside from them, and if you turn
aside from them, they shall not harm you in any way; and if
you judge, judge between them with equity; surely Allah
loves those who judge equitably.
[5.43] And how do they make you a judge and they have the
Taurat wherein is Allah's judgment? Yet they turn back
after that, and these are not the believers.
[5.44] Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance
and light; with it the prophets who submitted themselves
(to Allah) judged (matters) for those who
were Jews, and the masters of Divine knowledge and the
doctors, because they were required to guard (part) of the
Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereof; therefore
fear not the people and fear Me, and do not take a small
price for My communications; and whoever did not judge by
what Allah revealed, those are they that are the
unbelievers.
[5.45] And We prescribed to them in it that life is for
life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear,
and tooth for tooth, and (that there is)
reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoes it, it shall be an
expiation for him; and whoever did not judge by what Allah
revealed, those are they that are the unjust.
[5.46] And We sent after them in their footsteps Isa, son
of Marium, verifying what was before him of the Taurat and
We gave him the Injeel in which was guidance and light, and
verifying what was before it of Taurat and a guidance
and an admonition for those who guard (against evil).
[5.47] And the followers of the Injeel should have judged
by what Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by
what Allah revealed, those are they that are
the transgressors.
[5.48] And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth,
verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over
it, therefore judge between them by what Allah has
revealed, and do not follow their low desires (to turn
away) from the truth that has come to you; for every one of
you did We appoint a law and a way, and if Allah had
pleased He would have made you (all) a single people, but
that He might try you in what He gave you, therefore strive
with one another to hasten to virtuous deeds; to Allah is
your return, of all (of you), so He will
let you know that in which you differed;
[5.49] And that you should judge between them by what Allah
has revealed, and do not follow their low desires, and be
cautious of them, lest they seduce you from
part of what Allah has revealed to you; but if they turn
back, then know that Allah desires to afflict them on
account of some of their faults; and most
surely many of the people are transgressors.
[5.50] Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance
that they desire? And who is better than Allah to judge for
a people who are sure?
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the
Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and
whoever amongst you takes them for a friend,
then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide
the unjust people.
[5.52] But you will see those in whose hearts is a disease
hastening towards them, saying: We fear lest a calamity
should befall us; but it may be that Allah
will bring the victory or a punish ment from Himself, so
that they shall be regretting on account of what they hid
in their souls.
[5.53] And those who believe will say: Are these they who
swore by Allah with the most forcible of their oaths that
they were most surely with you? Their deeds shall go for
nothing, so they shall become losers.
[5.54] O you who believe! whoever from among you turns back
from his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall
love them and they shall love Him, lowly before the
believers, mighty against the unbelievers, they shall
strive hard in Allah's way and shall not fear the censure
of any censurer; this is Allah's Face, He gives it to whom
He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
[5.55] Only Allah is your Vali and His Apostle and those
who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the
poor-rate while they bow.
[5.56] And whoever takes Allah and His apostle and those
who believe for a guardian, then surely the party of Allah
are they that shall be triumphant.
[5.57] O you who believe! do not take for guardians those
who take your religion for a mockery and a joke, from among
those who were given the Book before you
and the unbelievers; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah
if you are believers.
[5.58] And when you call to prayer they make it a mockery
and a joke; this is because they are a people who do not
understand.
[5.59] Say: O followers of the Book! do you find fault with
us (for aught) except that we believe in Allah and in what
has been revealed to us and what was revealed before, and
that most of you are transgressors?
[5.60] Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than
this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah
has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and
of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the
Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the
straight path.
[5.61] And when they come to you, they say: We believe; and
indeed they come in with unbelief and indeed they go forth
with it; and Allah knows best what they
concealed.
[5.62] And you will see many of them striving with one
another to hasten in sin and exceeding the limits, and
their eating of what is unlawfully acquired;
certainly evil is that which they do.
[5.63] Why do not the learned men and the doctors of law
prohibit them from their speaking of what is sinful and
their eating of what is unlawfully acquired? Certainly evil
is that which they work.
[5.64] And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up!
Their hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for
what they say. Nay, both His hands are spread out, He
expends as He pleases; and what has been revealed to you
from your Lord will certainly make many of them increase in
inordinacy and unbelief; and We have put enmity and hatred
among them till the day of resurrection;
whenever they kindle a fire for war Allah puts it out, and
they strive to make mischief in the land; and Allah does
not love the mischief-makers.
[5.65] And if the followers of the Book had believed and
guarded (against evil) We would certainly have covered
their evil deeds and We would certainly have
made them enter gardens of bliss
[5.66] And if they had kept up the Taurat and the Injeel
and that which was revealed to them from their Lord, they
would certainly have eaten from above them and from beneath
their feet there is a party of them keeping to the
moderate course, and (as for) most of them, evil is that
which they do
[5.67] O Apostle! deliver what has been revealed to you
from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not
delivered His message, and Allah will protect
you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the
unbelieving people.
[5.68] Say: O followers of the Book! you follow no good
till you keep up the Taurat and the Injeel and that which
is revealed to you from your Lord; and surely that which
has been revealed to you from your Lord shall make many of
them increase in inordinacy and unbelief; grieve not
therefore for the unbelieving people.
[5.69] Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and
the Sabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah
and the last day and does good-- they shall
have no fear nor shall they grieve.
[5.70] Certainly We made a covenant with the children of
Israel and We sent to them apostles; whenever there came to
them an apostle with what that their souls
did not desire, some (of them) did they call liars and some
they slew.
[5.71] And they thought that there would be no affliction,
so they became blind and deaf; then Allah turned to them
mercifully, but many of them became blind
and deaf; and Allah is well seeing what they do.
[5.72] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He
is the Messiah, son of Marium; and the Messiah said: O
Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and
your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah,
then Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode
is the fire; and there shall be no helpers for the unjust.
[5.73] Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is
the third (person) of the three; and there is no god but
the one God, and if they desist not from what
they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among
them who disbelieve.
[5.74] Will they not then turn to Allah and ask His
forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.75] The Messiah, son of Marium is but an apostle;
apostles before him have indeed passed away; and his mother
was a truthful woman; they both used to eat
food. See how We make the communications clear to them,
then behold, how they are turned away.
[5.76] Say: Do you serve besides Allah that which does not
control for you any harm, or any profit? And Allah-- He is
the Hearing, the Knowing.
[5.77] Say: O followers of the Book! be not unduly
immoderate in your religion, and do not follow the low
desires of people who went astray before and led many
astray and went astray from the right path.
[5.78] Those who disbelieved from among the children of
Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son of
Marium; this was because they disobeyed and
used to exceed the limit.
[5.79] They used not to forbid each other the hateful
things (which) they did; certainly evil was that which they
did.
[5.80] You will see many of them befriending those who
disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have
sent before for them, that Allah became
displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.
[5.81] And had they believed in Allah and the prophet and
what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them
for friends but! most of them are transgressors.
[5.82] Certainly you will find the most violent of people
in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those
who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the
nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those
who say: We are Christians; this is because there are
priests and monks among them and because they do not behave
proudly.
[5.83] And when they hear what has been revealed to the
apostle you will see their eyes overflowing with tears on
account of the truth that they recognize;
they say: Our Lord! we believe, so write us down with the
witnesses (of truth).
[5.84] And what (reason) have we that we should not believe
in Allah and in the truth that has come to us, while we
earnestly desire that our Lord should cause
us to enter with the good people?
[5.85] Therefore Allah rewarded them on account of what
they said, with gardens in which rivers flow to abide in
them; and this is the reward of those who do
good (to others).
[5.86] And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our
communications, these are the companions of the flame.
[5.87] O you who believe! do not forbid (yourselves) the
good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not
exceed the limits; surely Allah does not love
those who exceed the limits.
[5.88] And eat of the lawful and good (things) that Allah
has given you, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, in
Whom you believe.
[5.89] Allah does not call you to account for what is vain
in your oaths, but He calls you to account for the making
of deliberate oaths; so its expiation is the
feeding of ten poor men out of the middling (food) you feed
your families with, or their clothing, or the freeing of a
neck; but whosoever cannot find (means)
then fasting for three days; this is the expiation of your
oaths when you swear; and guard your oaths. Thus does Allah
make clear to you His communications, that
you may be Fateful.
[5.90] O you who believe! intoxicants and games of chance
and (sacrificing to) stones set up and (dividing by) arrows
are only an uncleanness, the Shaitan's work; shun it
therefore that you may be successful.
[5.91] The Shaitan only desires to cause enmity and hatred
to spring in your midst by means of intoxicants and games
of chance, and to keep you off from the
remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you then desist?
[5.92] And obey Allah and obey the apostle and be cautious;
but if you turn back, then know that only a clear
deliverance of the message is (incumbent) on
Our apostle.
[5.93] On those who believe and do good there is no blame
for what they eat, when they are careful (of their duty)
and believe and do good deeds, then they
are careful (of their duty) and believe, then they are
careful (of their duty) and do good (to others), and Allah
loves those who do good (to others).
[5.94] O you who believe! Allah will certainly try you in
respect of some game which your hands and your lances can
reach, that Allah might know who fears Him
in secret; but whoever exceeds the limit after this, he
shall have a painful punishment.
[5.95] O you who believe! do not kill game while you are on
pilgrimage, and whoever among you shall kill it
intentionally, the compensation (of it) is the
like of what he killed, from the cattle, as two just
persons among you shall judge, as an offering to be brought
to the Kaaba or the expiation (of it) is the
feeding of the poor or the equivalent of it in fasting,
that he may taste the unwholesome result of his deed; Allah
has pardoned what is gone by; and whoever
returns (to it), Allah will inflict retribution on him; and
Allah is Mighty, Lord of Retribution.
[5.96] Lawful to you is the game of the sea and its food, a
provision for you and for the travellers, and the game of
the land is forbidden to you so long as
you are on pilgrimage, and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah, to Whom you shall be gathered.
[5.97] Allah has made the Kaaba, the sacred house, a
maintenance for the people, and the sacred month and the
offerings and the sacrificial animals with
garlands; this is that you may know that Allah knows
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth,
and that Allah is the Knower of all things.
[5.98] Know that Allah is severe in requiting (evil) and
that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5.99] Nothing is (incumbent) on the Apostle but to deliver
(the message), and Allah knows what you do openly and what
you hide.
[5.100] Say: The bad and the good are not equal, though the
abundance of the bad may please you; so be careful of (your
duty to) Allah, O men of understanding,
that you may be successful.
[5.101] O you who believe! do not put questions about
things which if declared to you may trouble you, and if you
question about them when the Quran is being
revealed, they shall be declared to you; Allah pardons
this, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.
[5.102] A people before you indeed asked such questions,
and then became disbelievers on account of them.
[5.103] Allah has not ordained (the making of) a bahirah or
a saibah or a wasilah or a hami but those who disbelieve
fabricate a lie against Allah, and most of them do not
understand.
[5.104] And when it is said to them, Come to what Allah has
revealed and to the Apostle, they say: That on which we
found our fathers is sufficient for us.
What! even though their fathers knew nothing and did not
follow the right way.
[5.105] O you who believe! take care of your souls; he who
errs cannot hurt you when you are on the right way; to
Allah is your return, of all (of you), so He
will inform you of what you did.
[5.106] O you who believe! call to witness between you when
death draws nigh to one of you, at the time of making the
will, two just persons from among you, or
two others from among others than you, if you are
travelling in the land and the calamity of death befalls
you; the two (witnesses) you should detain after the
prayer; then if you doubt (them), they shall both swear by
Allah, (saying): We will not take for it a price, though
there be a relative, and we will not hide
the testimony of Allah for then certainly we should be
among the sinners.
[5.107] Then if it becomes known that they both have been
guilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place
from among those who have a claim against
them, the two nearest in kin; so they two should swear by
Allah: Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony
of those two, and we have not exceeded the
limit, for then most surely we should be of the unjust.
[5.108] This is more proper in order that they should give
testimony truly or fear that other oaths be given after
their oaths; and be careful of (your duty
to) Allah, and hear; and Allah does not guide the
transgressing people.
[5.109] On the day when Allah will assemble the apostles,
then say: What answer were you given? They shall say: We
have no knowledge, surely Thou art the great
Knower of the unseen things.
[5.110] When Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! Remember
My favor on you and on your mother, when I strengthened you
I with the holy Spirit, you spoke to the
people in the cradle and I when of old age, and when I
taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Taurat and the
Injeel; and when you determined out of clay a
thing like the form of a bird by My permission, then you
breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission, and
you healed the blind and the leprous by My
permission; and when you brought forth the dead by My
permission; and when I withheld the children of Israel from
you when you came to them with clear arguments, but those
who disbelieved among them said: This is nothing but clear
enchantment.
[5.111] And when I revealed to the disciples, saying,
Believe in Me and My apostle, they said: We believe and
bear witness that we submit (ourselves).
[5.112] When the disciples said: O Isa son of Marium! will
your Lord consent to send down to us food from heaven? He
said: Be careful of (your duty to) Allah if
you are believers.
[5.113] They said: We desire that we should eat of it and
that our hearts should be at rest, and that we may know
that you have indeed spoken the truth to us and
that we may be of the witnesses to it.
[5.114] Isa the son of Marium said: O Allah, our Lord! send
i down to us food from heaven which should be to us an
ever-recurring happiness, to the first of
us and to the last of us, and a sign from Thee, and grant
us means of subsistence, and Thou art the best of the
Providers.
[5.115] Allah said: Surely I will send it down to you, but
whoever shall disbelieve afterwards from among you, surely
I will chastise him with a chastisement with which I will
not chastise, anyone among the nations.
[5.116] And when Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! did
you say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides
Allah he will say: Glory be to Thee, it
did not befit me that I should say what I had no right to
(say); if I had said it, Thou wouldst indeed have known it;
Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I do
not know what is in Thy mind, surely Thou art the great
Knower of the unseen things.
[5.117] 1 did not say to them aught save what Thou didst
enjoin me with: That serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord,
and I was a witness of them so long as I was
among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die, Thou wert
the watcher over them, and Thou art witness of all things.
[5.118] If Thou shouldst chastise them, then surely they
are Thy servants; and if Thou shouldst forgive them, then
surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.
[5.119] Allah will say: This is the day when their truth
shall benefit the truthful ones; they shall have gardens
beneath which rivers flow to abide in them for ever: Allah
is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with
Allah; this is the mighty achievement.
[5.120] Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth
and what is in them; and He has power over all things.
