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 assist 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.
The Dinner Table - Part 2
[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 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
punishment 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
travelers, 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 Qur’an 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 traveling 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 would indeed have known it; Thou
knows 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] I
did not say to them aught save what Thou did 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 did
cause me to die, Thou wert the watcher over them, and Thou art witness of all things.
[5.118] If
Thou should chastise them, then surely they are Thy servants; and if Thou should 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.
