Ayat [1-5] IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. Ayat [6-10] Except such as repent after that and act aright, for, verily, God is forgiving and compassionate. Ayat [11-15] And were it not for God's grace upon you and His mercy, and that God is relenting, wise . . . 1 Ayat [16-20] And why did ye not say when ye heard it, 'It is not for us to speak of this? Celebrated be His praises, this is a mighty calumny!' Ayat [21-25] And but for God's grace upon you, and His mercy, and that God is kind and compassionate . . . ! Ayat [26-30] that day God will pay them their just due; and they shall know that God, He is the plain truth. Ayat [31-35] Say to the believers that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts; that is purer for them; verily, God is well aware of what they do. Ayat [36-40] God is the light of the heavens and the earth; His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, and the lamp is in a glass, the glass is as though it were a glittering star; it is lit from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the east nor of the west, the oil of which would well-nigh give light though no fire touched it,--light upon light!--God guides to His light whom He pleases; and God strikes out parables for men, and God all things doth know. Ayat [41-45] Or like darkness on a deep sea, there covers it a wave above which is a wave, above which is a cloud,--darknesses one above the other,--when one puts out his hand he can scarcely see it; for he to whom God has given no light, he has no light. Ayat [46-50] Now have we sent down manifest signs, and God guides whom He pleases unto the right way. Ayat [51-55] The speech of the believers, when they are called to God and His Apostle to judge between them, is only to say, 'We hear and we obey;' and these it is who are the prosperous, for whoso obeys God and His Apostle and dreads God and fears Him, these it is who are the happy. Ayat [56-60] And be steadfast in prayer and give alms and obey the Apostle, haply ye may obtain mercy. Do not reckon that those who misbelieve can Ayat [61-65] There is no hindrance to the blind, and no hindrance to the lame, and no hindrance to the sick, and none upon yourselves that you eat from your houses, or the houses of your fathers, or the houses of your mothers, or the houses of your brothers, or the houses of your sisters, or the houses of your paternal uncles, or the houses of your paternal aunts, or the houses of your maternal uncles, |
