4:20 And if you intend to exchange one wife in the place of another and if you have given one of them (even) a treasure, then do not take (back) anything from it. Would you take it (back) by slander * and manifest sin? * A false report to injure someone’s reputation.

4:21 And how can you take it (back) when one of you has gone into the other and they have taken from you a strong pledge?

And as for those (women) from whom you fear confrontation, admonish them and leave them alone in their sleeping places and strike them (by word or action) then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them, Allah is certainly High, Great.

4:35 And if you are afraid of a split between the (husband and wife) then appoint a judge from his people and a judge from her people, if they intend reconciliation, Allah will effect reconciliation between them, Allah is certainly Knowing, Informed.

4:37 those who hoard (their wealth being miserly) and enjoin (other) people (also) to hoard, and hide that which Allah has given them of His grace, and We have prepared a disgraceful punishment for the infidels;

4:38 and those who spend their wealth for showing (their generosity) to people and do not believe in Allah and in the period hereafter. And one for whom the devil becomes a comrade, then (he has) an evil comrade.

4:39 And what (loss would have been there) on them had they believed in Allah and the period hereafter and spent from that which Allah had provided for them, when Allah is knowing about them?

4:40 Allah certainly does not do injustice (amounting even) to the weight of a particle, and if there is a good (deed) He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.

4:41 Then how will it be when We will bring from every community a witness and We will bring you as a witness over these?

4:42 On that day, those who had not believed and disobeyed the messenger would like that the earth were leveled with them, and they will not be able to hide from Allah (any) happening (event).

4:43 O you who believe ! do not go near worship (salat) when you are intoxicated (not conscious) until you know what you say, nor when you have not taken a bath after sexual intercourse (or passing out of semen during sleep etc) until you have bathed, except when you are traveling on a road, and if you are sick or on a journey or one of you comes from the toilet or you have touched women, then (under the above circumstances if) you do not find water then take clean dust and wipe your faces and your hands, Allah is certainly Pardoning, Protectively Forgiving.

4:44 Did you not consider those who were given a portion of the book? They purchase error and intend that you should go astray from the way.

4:45 And Allah knows best your enemies and Allah is sufficient as a Guardian and Allah is sufficient as a Helper.

4:46 Of those who are Jews, they alter the words from their places and say, "We heard and we disobey, and hear, you may not be made to hear," and "Listen to us," distorting (the word) with their tongues (when it means, he is a fool) and taunting (at) the religion (Islam), and had they said, "We hear and we obey," and "Hear and look at us." it would have been better for them and more upright, but Allah has cursed them because of their infidelity so they do not believe, except a few (of them). more upright, but Allah has cursed them because of their infidelity so they do not believe, except a few (of them).

4:47 O you who have been given the book ! believe in (the Quran), which We have sent down, confirming that which is with you (Torah, Bible etc.), before We destroy faces then turn them on their backs or curse them as We had cursed the Sabbath breakers, and Allah's command is executed.

4:48 Allah certainly does not forgive associating of partners with Him (polytheism), and He protectively forgives (any sin) other than that, to whom He wills; and one who associates partners with Allah (a polytheist), he indeed fabricates a great sin.

4:49 Did you not consider those who attribute purity to them selves? No, Allah purifies whom He wills and they are not dealt with unjustly even to the extend of the hair on a date stone,

4:50 see how they fabricate falsehood about Allah, and that itself is sufficient as a clear sin (to prove that they are not pure).

4:51 Did you not consider those who were given a portion from the book? They believe in idols and false deities and say about those who do not believe, "These (infidels) are better guided on the (right) way than those who believe."

4:52 Those are the persons whom Allah has cursed and he whom Allah curses, you will never find for him a helper.

4:53 Or have they a share in the kingdom? Then in that case they would not have given (to other) people, even a speck on a date stone.

4:54 Or are they jealous of the people on account of that which Allah has given them from His grace? Then We indeed gave to the family (progeny) of Ibrahim, the book and the wisdom, and We gave them a great kingdom. We gave them a great kingdom.

4:55 So among them were (some) who believed in it and among them were (others) who turned away from it, and hell is sufficient for (their) burning.

4:56 Those who do not believe in Our signs, We will certainly make them enter the fire, as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other (new) skins that they may taste the punishment, Allah is certainly Mighty, Wise.

4:57 And those who believe and do righteous works We will make them enter the gardens beneath which rivers flow, they will stay therein for ever, for them there will be clean mates therein and We will make them enter a shady shade.

4:58 Allah certainly commands you that you should return the trusts (deposited by people), to their owners, and when you judge between people then you should judge with justice. That with which Allah admonishes you is certainly excellent, Allah is certainly Hearing, Seeing.

4:59 O you who believe ! obey Allah and obey the messenger and those who are in authority among you. And if you have a dispute in anything, then refer it to Allah * and the messenger # if you are believers in Allah and the period hereafter. That is the best (practice) and (the result of such practice is) the best result. * & # Consult the Quran and Hadis for taking the right decision.

4:60 Did you not consider those who claim that they believe in that which is sent down to you and that which was sent down before you? They intend to call one another to the false deities $ for the judgment (of their disputes), though they were commanded to reject them, and the devil intends to mislead them far astray. $ Authorities other than Allah.

4:61 And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allah has sent down and to the messenger (for judgment)," you see the hypocrites turn away from you, ignoring.

4:62 Then how will it be when the disaster will befall them on account of that which their hands have sent forth, then they will come to you swearing by Allah, "We did not intend anything except good and conciliation."

4:63 Those are the persons (about whom) Allah knows that which is there in their hearts, so keep away from them, but admonish them and speak to them in words (which would) reach their souls.

4:64 And We did not send any messenger but to be obeyed by Allah's permission. And when they were unjust to themselves, had they come to you and asked for protective forgiveness of Allah and had the messenger (also) asked for protective forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah, Accepter of repentance, Merciful.

4:65 But no, by your Fosterer ! they will not (be considered to have) believed, until they make you a judge for that which is in dispute among them, then find no objection in their souls (minds) regarding that which you have decided and accept it submissively.

4:66 And had We prescribed for them that, "Kill yourselves or go out from your houses," they would not have done it except a few of them, and had they done that which they are admonished with, it would have been better for them and (it would have) established (them) more firmly,

4:67 and then We would have given them from Ourselves, a great reward,

4:68 and We would have guided them to the straight path.

4:69 And whoever obeys Allah and the messenger, then such (people) will be with those whom Allah has favoured, from among the prophets and the truthful and the witnesses (martyrs) and the righteous and those are (members of) a beautiful company.

4:70 That is the grace of Allah and Allah is sufficient as a Knower.

4:71 O you who believe ! take your precautions, then go forth in detachments or go forth all together.

4:72 And certainly among you is he who would definitely stay behind, and if a disaster befalls you he would say, "Allah has favoured me that I was not present with them."

4:73 And if (something) graceful befalls you from Allah, he would definitely say, as if there had been no love (acquaintance) between you and him, "Oh ! I wish I had been with them, then I (too) would have achieved a great achievement."

4:74 Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah who sell this world's life for the (life) of the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then whether he is slain or is victorious We will give him a great reward (for his effort).

4:75 And what is (the reason) you have that you do not fight in the way of Allah and (for) the weak among the men and the women and the children who say (pray), "Our Fosterer ! bring us out of this town whose people are unjust and appoint a guardian for us from Yourself and appoint a helper for us from Yourself?"

4:76 Those who believe, fight in the way of Allah and those who do not believe, fight in the way of false deities (evil); so fight the friends of the devil, the plot of the devil is certainly weak.

4:77 Did you not consider those to whom it was said, "With hold your hands and establish worship (salat) and give charity (zakat)?" But when fighting was prescribed for them, a party of them feared human beings as they ought to have feared Allah or with a stronger fear, and said, "Our Fosterer ! why did you prescribe fighting on us, why did you not postpone it for us till a nearby term?" Say, "The provision of this world is little and the hereafter is better for one who guards (against evil) and you will not be dealt with unjustly even to the extent of the hair on a date stone."

4:78 Wherever you be, death will catch you up, even if you are in towers raised high. And if good befalls them they say, "This is from Allah," and if evil befalls them they say, "This is from you," say, "Everything is from Allah." So what is (wrong) with these people that they do not (even) intend to understand a happening (or a statement)? say, "Everything is from Allah." So what is (wrong) with these people that they do not (even) intend to understand a happening (or a statement)?

4:79 Whatever befalls you (Muhammed) of good then it is from Allah and whatever befalls you of evil, then it is from yourself. And We have sent you to mankind as a messenger and Allah is sufficient as a Witness.

4:80 Whoever obeys the messenger, then he indeed obeys Allah, and (if any) one turns away, then We have not sent you as a protector over them.

4:81 And they say, "Obedience." but when they go out from your presence, a party from among them spend the night in (things) other than what you ask (them to do), and Allah records that which they spend the night in, so keep away from them and trust in Allah and Allah is sufficient as a Trustee.

4:82 Do they not reflect on the Quran, that had it been from someone other than Allah, they would have found many a contradiction in it.

4:83 And when there comes to them any (rumour of an) affair, of peace or fear, they spread it, but had they referred it to the messenger or to those in authority among them, then those among them who could investigate it would have known it (and found out the truth of the affair); and had the grace of Allah and His mercy not been on you, you (all) would have followed the devil, except a few.

4:84 So fight in the way of Allah, you are not made responsible for anyone except yourself, but rouse the believers, it may be that Allah will restrain the might of those who do not believe, and Allah is the Strongest in might and the Strongest in giving exemplary punishment.

4:85 One who, while helping others in, (himself) joins a good (cause), for him is a share in it, and one who, while helping others in, (himself) joins evil, on him is the responsibility of it, and Allah is the Controller over everything.

4:86 And when you are greeted with a greeting, then greet (back in a manner) better than that or return it (with equal courtesy), Allah is certainly One who takes account of everything.

4:87 Allah, there is no god except Him, He will definitely gather (all of) you together on the day of resurrection, there is no doubt in it. And who is more truthful in statement than Allah.

4:88 Then what is (the matter) with you that you have become two parties regarding the hypocrites when Allah has returned them (to hypocrisy) because of that which they earned? Do you intend to guide him whom Allah has left in error? And whomsoever Allah leaves in error, then for him you will never (be able to) find a way.

4:89 The (hypocrites) like (that) you too should not believe as they do not believe, then you all would become equal. There fore do not take friends from among them till they migrate in the way of Allah, but if they turn back then catch them and kill them wherever you find them and do not take a friend or a helper from among them,

4:90 except those, who get closely associated to people, between whom and you is a treaty or who come to you (with) their hearts stopping them from fighting you or fighting their own people. And had Allah willed He could have given them authority over you then they would have fought you. Therefore if they withdraw from you and do not fight with you and offer you peace, then Allah has not given to you a way against them (to fight).

4:91 You will find others who intend that they should be at peace with you and at peace with their own people, (but) whenever they are turned back to the temptation they fall into it, so if they do not withdraw from you and (do not) offer you peace nor hold back their hands, then catch them and kill them wherever you find them, and those are the persons against whom We have given you clear authority (for such action).

4:92 And it does not befit a believer to kill (another) believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer (even) by mistake, he should set free a believing slave and pay the blood money to the people (of the slain), except that (the people of the slain do not take the money and) leave it as charity. And if the slain was from a people who are at enemity with you but he was a believer then he (the murderer) should set free a believing slave; the slain was from a people between whom and you is a treaty, then the blood-money should be paid to his (slain's) people and (in addition, the murderer) should set free a believing slave, and one who cannot find (the means) should in that case, fast for two successive months. A penance from Allah and Allah is Knowing, Wise. people (of the slain), except that (the people of the slain do not take the money and) leave it as charity. And if the slain was from a people who are at enemity with you but he was a believer then he (the murderer) should set free a believing slave; the slain was from a people between whom and you is a treaty, then the blood-money should be paid to his (slain's) people and (in addition, the murderer) should set free a believing slave, and one who cannot find (the means) should in that case, fast for two successive months. A penance from Allah and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

4:93 And whoever kills a believer intentionally, then his reward is hell, he will stay therein, and Allah is angry with him and has created him and has prepared for him a great punishment.

4:94 O you who believe ! when you go striking in the way of Allah, carefully investigate and do not say to one who offers you peace, (or salutation), "You are not a believer," seeking apparent good of the life of this world (by way of taking away his belongings as booty of war), because with Allah is abundant gain (better than the booty of war). Earlier, you too were like that but Allah bestowed His favour on you, so carefully investigate. Allah is certainly informed about what you do.

4:95 Those believers who sit (at home) without receiving any injury are not equal to those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and their persons. Allah has been more gracious to those who strive with their wealth and their persons by (giving them a higher) rank over those who sit (at home), and to each Allah has promised good but Allah has been more gracious to those who strive, by giving them a greater reward compared to those who sit (at home),

4:96 ranks from Him and protective forgiveness and mercy and Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.

4:97 Certainly, (when) the angels will cause to die those who were unjust to themselves, they will ask, "In what (state) were you?" They will reply, "We were weak in the earth." (The angels) will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious so that you could have migrated therein?" Then their settling place will be hell and it will be an evil destination,

4:98 except the weak among the men and the women and the children who neither have (any) means in their power nor (anyone) to guide them to the way (for migration).

4:99 So those, it may be that Allah will pardon them and Allah is Pardoning, Protectively Forgiving.

4:100 And whoever migrates in the way of Allah, he will find numerous places of refuge in the earth and abundance (in livelihood). And whoever goes forth from his house as a migrant to Allah and His messenger then death catches him, his reward has then become incumbent on Allah and Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.

4:101 And when you go striking in the earth, then there is no sin on you if you shorten (something) from the worship (salat), if you fear that those who do not believe will persecute you. The infidels are certainly your n enemies.

4:102 And when you are among them and establish worship (salat) for them then let (only) one party from among them stand with you (for worship) and let the (other party) take their weapons; then when they have prostrated (and finished offering worship) let the (first party) take their positions behind you, and let the other party who did not worship (in the first batch) come (and) then let them worship with you and let the (first party) take their precaution and their weapons. Those who do not believe, wish that you should be careless of your weapons and your provision, so that they (could) attack you with a single (sudden and united) attack. And there is no sin on you if you lay down your weapons when you are annoyed due to rain or if you are sick, but take your precaution. Allah has certainly prepared a disgraceful punishment for the infidels.

4:103 Then when you have finished the worship (salat) remember Allah standing and sitting and (lying down) on your sides. Then when you are in safety, establish (regular) worship. Worship (salat) is certainly prescribed for the believers at fixed timings.

4:104 And do not be weak hearted in the pursuit of the (enemy's) people, if you are in pain then they too are in pain as you are in pain, and you hope from Allah that which they do not hope for, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

4:105 We have sent down to you the book containing the truth so that you may judge between people through that which Allah has shown to you. And do not be a disputer for those who betray the trust (put in them),

4:106 and seek protective forgiveness from Allah, Allah is certainly Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.

4:107 And do not plead on behalf of those who betray their own selves, Allah certainly does not like one who betrays the trust (put in him), sinful.

4:108 They hide themselves from human beings but cannot hide themselves from Allah, and He is with them when they spend the night (in discussing) in words which do not please Him, and Allah encompasses what they do.

4:109 Ah ! you are the persons who plead on their behalf in the life of this world, but who will plead on their behalf before Allah, on the day of resurrection, or who will act as a trustee for them?

4:110 And whoever does evil or is unjust to his own self, then seeks protective forgiveness from Allah, he will find Allah Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.

4:111 And whoever earns (commits) a sin, he earns it only against his own self and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

4:112 And whoever earns (commits) a mistake or a sin, then throws (the blame) on one who is innocent of it, then he has burdened himself (with the fault of ascribing) a false charge and a clear sin.

4:113 And had Allah's grace and mercy not been on you, a party from among them had designed to mislead you. But they do not mislead anyone except themselves and they will not harm you in the least. And Allah has sent down to you the book and the wisdom and He has taught you that which you did not know and the grace of Allah on you is great.

4:114 In most of their secret talks there is no good except (in his) who enjoins charity or recognised (good) or reconciliation between people, and whoever does that seeking the pleasure of Allah, We will give him a great reward.

4:115 And whoever opposes the messenger after the guidance having been made clear to him and he follows the way other than that of the believers, We will turn him to that which he (himself) has turned to, and We will make him enter hell and that is an evil destination.

4:116 Allah certainly does not forgive associating of partners with Him and He protectively forgives (any sin) other than that, to whom He wills; and one who associates partners with Allah has indeed erred, going far astray.

4:117 They do not pray to (anyone) besides Him except to female (names) and they do not pray to (anyone) except to the devil a rebel,

4:118 whom Allah has cursed and (who had) said, "I will definitely take an appointed portion from Your servants,

4:119 and I will definitely mislead them and I will definitely excite vain desires in them and I will definitely command them so they will slit the ears of cattle and I will definitely command them, so they will definitely alter Allah's creation." And whoever takes the devil as a friend besides Allah, then he indeed has incurred a loss, a manifest loss (it is).

4:120 He (the devil) promises them and excites vain desires in them, and the devil does not promise them (anything) but deception.

4:121 Their settling place is hell and they will not find from it (any way of) escape.

4:122 And those who believe and do righteous works, We will make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to stay therein for ever. Allah's promise is true and who is more truthful (in his) word than Allah.

4:123 It will not be in accordance with your vain desires nor in accordance with the vain desires of the owners of the book, whoever does evil, he will be requited with it, and he will not find for himself anyone besides Allah, (as) a guardian or a helper.

4:124 And whoever does deeds of righteousness, whether male or female and he/she is a believer, then those will enter the garden and they will not be dealt with unjustly to the extent of a speck on a date-stone.

4:125 And who is better in religion than he who submits his person (attention) to Allah and he is (also) a doer of good and follows the religion (dictated by) Ibrahim, the upright? And Allah had taken Ibrahim as a friend.

4:126 And whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and Allah is the Encompasser of everything.

4:127 And they ask you about the women, say: Allah instructs you about them through that which is read to you from the book concerning the orphans among the women whom you do not give that which was prescribed for them nor do you desire to marry them, and the weak among the children, and that you stand with justice for the orphans; and whatever good you do, then Allah is certainly a Knower of it.

4:128 And if a wife fears confrontation or desertion from her husband, there is no sin on them both if they reconcile between themselves (with a suitable) reconciliation, and reconciliation is better. And selfishness has been made to be present in the souls, and if you do good and guard (against evil), then Allah is certainly informed of what you do.

4:129 And you will never be able to deal with equality between women (your wives) even if you excessively desire it, but do not be disinclined (from anyone of them) with total disinclination so as to leave her as if suspended; and if you act righteously and guard (against evil) then Allah is certainly Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.

4:130 And if they (wife and husband) separate, Allah will make each of them self-sufficient (by giving) from His Omnipresent ampleness, and Allah is Omnipresent (Ample-giving), Wise.

4:131 And whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is Allah's. And We had directed those who were given the book before you and (We direct) you (too) that you should fear Allah, but if you become infidels then whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is certainly Allah's and Allah is Independent, Praised.

4:132 And whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is Allah's, and Allah is sufficient as a Trustee.

4:133 If He wills, He can make you pass away, O mankind ! and bring others(in your place), and Allah has power over that.

4:134 Whoever intends (to receive) the reward (in) this world, then with Allah is the reward of this world and the hereafter, and Allah is Hearing, Seeing.

4:135 O you who believe! be establishers of justice, bearers of witness for (the sake of) Allah even if it be against yourselves or parents or relatives, whether he be rich or poor, because Allah will turn to both of them (for taking account of their deeds). So do not follow your desire while you execute justice and if you distort or keep away (from doing justice) then Allah is certainly informed of what you do.

4:136 O you who (claim to) believe ! believe in Allah and His messenger and the book which He has sent down to His messenger and the book which He had sent down earlier. And one who does not believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers and the period hereafter, then he has indeed erred, going far astray.

4:137 Those who believe then do not believe, then believe then do not believe, then increase in infidelity, certainly Allah will neither forgive them, nor will He guide them to (the right) way.

4:138 Convey the news to the hypocrites that for them there is a painful punishment.

4:139 Those who take the infidels as friends besides the believers, do they seek might (power) from them? Then total might is certainly Allah's.

4:140 And He has sent down (instructions) for you through the book, that when you hear the signs of Allah being rejected and mocked at, then do not sit with them till they get involved in some issue other than that, otherwise you (too) will become like them. Allah will certainly gather all the hypocrites and the infidels in hell.

4:141 (There are) those who wait for you, so if you get a victory from Allah, they say, "Were we not with you?" And if the share (of victory) is for the infidels, they say (to the infidels), "Did we not have mastery over you and protect you from the believers?" So Allah will judge between you on the day of resurrection. And Allah will not give the infidels a way (of dominance) over the believers.

4:142 The hypocrites certainly (presume to) deceive Allah but He deceives them. And when they stand up for worship (salat), they stand up as if loaded with a burden, (just) to show to human beings and they do not remember Allah save a little,

4:143 wavering between this (belief) and that (infidelity) neither belonging to these nor to those, and whom Allah leaves to go astray, then you will not find for him a way.

4:144 O you who believe ! do not take the infidels as friends besides the believers. Do you intend to give to Allah a clear authoritative (proof of disobeying Him), against yourselves?

4:145 The hypocrites will certainly be in the lowest depth of fire and you will not find for them a helper,

4:146 except those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and make their religion exclusively for Allah, then those are with the believers and Allah will give the believers a great reward.

4:147 What will Allah do (gain) by punishing you if you gratefully (acknowledge Him) and believe? And Allah is One Who acknowledges, Knowing.

4:148 Allah does not like manifest evil in speech, except (from) one to whom injustice was done, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

4:149 If you expose good or hide it, or pardon evil, then Allah (too) is certainly Pardoning, Powerful.

4:150 Those who do not believe in Allah and His messengers and intend to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers and say, "We believe in some and we do not believe in others," and intend to adopt a way in between that,

4:151 those are the persons who are real infidels. And We have certainly prepared a disgraceful punishment for the infidels.

4:152 And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them, those will be given their rewards, and Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.

4:153 The owners of the book demand from you that you should bring down a book on them, from the sky. They had demanded of Musa (something) greater than that, they said, "Show us Allah openly." Therefore due to their injustice, the thunder-bolt took (hold of) them. Then they took the calf ( for worship), after clear signs had come to them, but We pardoned(even) that and We gave Musa clear authority. of Musa (something) greater than that, they said, "Show us Allah openly." Therefore due to their injustice, the thunder-bolt took (hold of) them. Then they took the calf ( for worship), after clear signs had come to them, but We pardoned(even) that and We gave Musa clear authority.

4:154 And We raised the Mount Toor above them for their pledge and We said to them, "Enter the gate prostrating," and We (further) said to them, "Do not exceed the limits in (the matter of) the Sabbath," and thus We took from them a firm pledge.

4:155 (We punished them) due to their breaking their pledge and their not believing in the signs of Allah and their killing the prophets without having the right to do so and their saying, "Our hearts are coverings," No, Allah has set a seal upon them due to their infidelity, therefore they do not believe except a few (of them).

4:156 And (We punished them) due to their infidelity, and due to the great false charge on Maryam in their speech,

4:157 and (due to) their saying, "We killed Messiah, Isa the son of Maryam, messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but for them, he (the one crucified) was made to resemble (Isa), and those who differ in it are certainly in a doubt about it. They do not have any knowledge of it, they follow nothing but conjecture and they certainly did not kill him.

4:158 No ! Allah raised him towards Himself and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

4:159 And there is not a single person from among the owners of the book but he will definitely believe in him before his death, and on the day of resurrection he will be a witness on them.

4:160 Because of the injustice of the Jews, We made unlawful on them the good (things of their liking) which were lawful for them (earlier) and because of their turning away many (people) from the way of Allah,

4:161 and their taking usury when they were indeed forbidden from it, and their wrongfully swallowing the wealth of people. And We have prepared for the infidels among them, a painful punishment.

4:162 But those of them who are sound in knowledge and the believers believe in that which has been sent down to you and that which was sent down before you, and those who establish worship (salat) and give the charity (zakat) and the believers in Allah and the period hereafter, We will give (all of) them a great reward.

4:163 We communicated to you as We communicated to Nuh and the prophets after him; and We communicated to Ibrahim, and Ismael and Ishaq and Yaqub and the tribes and Isa and Iyub and Yunus and Harun and Sulaiman and We gave Dawood a scripture (Zabur),

4:164 and messengers about whom We did mention to you earlier and messengers about whom We did not mention to you, and Allah spoke to Musa speaking (to him directly),

4:165 messengers, conveyers of good news and warners, that there should not be any plea for mankind against Allah (of not having been informed of the right path) after (receiving the message of) the messengers, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

4:166 But Allah bears witness regarding that which He sent down to you, (that) He sent it down with His knowledge and the angels (too) bear witness and Allah is sufficient as a Witness.

4:167 Those who do not believe and turn away (people) from the way of Allah, have certainly erred, going far astray.

4:168 Allah will certainly not forgive those who do not believe and are unjust, nor will He guide them to (any) road,

4:169 except the road of hell, they will stay in it for ever and that is easy for Allah.

4:170 O mankind ! the messenger has come to you with the truth from your Fosterer, therefore believe (in him, that will be) better for you, and if you do not believe then (know that) whatever is in the skies and the earth, is certainly Allah's, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

4:171 O owners of the book ! do not commit excesses in your religion, and do not say about Allah (anything) other than the truth. The Messiah, Isa the son of Maryam, was only a messenger of Allah and His word which He communicated to Maryam and a spirit from Him, so believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, "Three," it will be better for you (if) you stop (saying it). Allah is only One God (and not one of the three as Christians claim). It is far from His Glory that He should have a son for Himself. Whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is His and Allah is sufficient as a Trustee.

4:172 The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of Allah nor the angels who are near (Allah). And whoever disdains His service and considers himself great, He will gather all of them towards Himself.

4:173 Then as for those who believe and do righteous works, He will give them their rewards in full and will increase for them (the reward by giving more) from His grace. And as for those who disdain and consider themselves great, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves any guardian or helper besides Allah.

4:174 O mankind ! proof from your Fosterer has come to you and We have sent down to you a clear light.

4:175 So as for those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him, He will make them enter into mercy from Him and grace, and He will guide them towards Him on the straight path.

4:176 They ask you for a legal decision, say, "Allah gives you a decision concerning the person who has neither parents nor children: If a man dies (and) he has no child, but has a sister, she shall have half of what he leaves, and he shall be her heir if she has no child; but if there be two (sisters) they shall have two thirds of what he leaves, and if there are brothers and sisters, then for the male is a share equal to two females. Allah makes (things) clear for you so that you should not commit a mistake, and Allah is the Knower of everything."
