Nazzala `Alayka Al-Kitāba Bil-Ĥaqqi Muşaddiqāan Limā Bayna Yadayhi Wa 'Anzala At-Tawrāata Wa Al-'Injīla
He has revealed to you this Book with the Truth, confirming the scripture which preceded it, as He revealed the Taurمt (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel),[3.3]

before this, as a guidance for mankind and also revealed this Al-Furqمn (criterion for judgment between right and wrong). Surely those who reject Allah’s revelations will be sternly punished; Allah is Mighty, capable of retribution.[3.4]
Huwa Al-Ladhī 'Anzala `Alayka Al-Kitāba Minhu 'Āyātun Muĥkamātun Hunna 'Ummu Al-Kitābi Wa 'Ukharu Mutashābihātun Fa'ammā Al-Ladhīna Fī Qulūbihim Zayghun Fayattabi`ūna Mā Tashābaha Minhu Abtighā'a Al-Fitnati Wa Abtighā'a Ta'wīlihi Wa Mā Ya`lamu Ta'wīlahu 'Illā Al-Lahu Wa Ar-Rāsikhūna Fī Al-`Ilmi Yaqūlūna 'Āmannā Bihi Kullun Min `Indi Rabbinā Wa Mā Yadhdhakkaru 'Illā 'Ūlū Al-'Albābi
He is the One Who has revealed to you the Book. Some of its verses are decisive - they are the foundation of the Book - while others are allegorical. Those whose hearts are infected with disbelief follow the allegorical part to mislead others and to give it their own interpretation, seeking for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. Those who are well grounded in knowledge say: “We believe in it; it is all from our Rabb." None will take heed except the people of understanding.[3.7]
They say: "Our Rabb, do not let our hearts deviate from the truth after you have guided us, and grant us Your own mercy; You are the Grantor of bounties without measure.[3.8]
'Inna Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lan Tughniya `Anhum 'Amwāluhum Wa Lā 'Awlāduhum Mina Al-LahiShay'āan Wa 'Ūlā'ika Hum Wa Qūdu An-Nāri
Surely neither their wealth nor their children will save the unbelievers from the wrath of Allah: they are the ones who will become the fuel for hellfire.[3.10]
Kada'bi 'Āli Fir`awna Wa Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Kadhdhabū Bi'āyātinā Fa'akhadhahumu Al-Lahu Bidhunūbihim Wa Allāhu Shadīdu Al-`Iqābi
Their end will be the same as that of the people of Fir‘on (Pharaoh) and their predecessors who denied Our revelations, so Allah called them to account for their sins. Allah is strict in retribution.[3.11]
Indeed there was a sign (lesson) for you in the two armies which met on the battlefield (of Badr): one was fighting for the cause of Allah and the other had rejected Allah; the believers saw with their own eyes that the unbelievers were twice their number. But the result of the battle proved that Allah strengthens with His own aid whom He pleases. Surely there is a lesson in this for those who have sight.[3.13]

The life of men is tempted by love and desire for women, children, the hoarding of treasures of gold and silver, branded horses, wealth of cattle and plantations. These are the comforts for the transitory life of this world; the everlasting best comfort, however, is with Allah.[3.14]
Qul 'A'uunabbi'ukum Bikhayrin MinDhālikum Lilladhīna Attaqaw `Inda Rabbihim Jannātun Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'Anhāru Khālidīna Fīhā Wa 'Azwājun Muţahharatun Wa Riđwānun Mina Al-Lahi Wa Allāhu Başīrun Bil-`Ibādi
Say : “Shall I tell you of better things than these, with which the righteous will be rewarded by their Rabb? There will be gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live forever with spouses of perfect chastity and the good pleasure of Allah. Allah is watching His servants very closely."[3.15]
The righteous people are those who pray: “Our Rabb! We sincerely believe in You: please forgive our sins and save us from the agony of the hellfire;”[3.16]
Shahida Al-Lahu 'Annahu Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa Wa Al-Malā'ikatu Wa 'Ūlū Al-`Ilmi Qā'imāan Bil-Qisţi Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa Al-`Azīzu Al-Ĥakīmu
Allah Himself has testified to the fact that there is no god but Him and so do the angels and those who are well grounded in knowledge standing firm on justice. There is no Ilah (God) except Him, the Mighty, the Wise.[3.18]
Surely the only Deen (true religion and the Right Way of life) in the sight of Allah is Al-Islam. Those to whom the Book was given did not adopt ways different than this except out of envy among themselves, and after true knowledge had come to them. They should know that Allah is swift in calling to account those who deny His revelations.[3.19]
Fa'in Ĥājjūka Faqul 'Aslamtu Wajhiya Lillahi Wa Mani Attaba`ani Wa Qul Lilladhīna 'Ūtū Al-Kitāba Wa Al-'Ummīyīna 'A'aslamtum Fa'in 'Aslamū Faqadi Ahtadaw Wa 'In Tawallaw Fa'innamā `Alayka Al-Balāghu Wa Allāhu Başīrun Bil-`Ibādi
So if they argue with you (O Muhammad), tell them: “I have submitted myself entirely to Allah and so have those who follow me." Then ask those who are given the Book and those who are illiterate: “Will you also submit yourselves to Allah?” If they become Muslims they shall be rightly guided but if they turn back, you need not worry, because your sole responsibility is to convey the Message. Allah is watching all His servants very closely.[3.20]

Give a warning to those who deny Allah’s revelations, who slay the Prophets without any justification, and who kill those from among the people who enjoin justice, that there is a painful punishment for them.[3.21]

Have you not seen the behavior of those (Jews) who have been given a portion of the Book? When they are invited to settle their disputes according to the Book of Allah, some of them turn back and decline.[3.23]
This is because they say: “The fire of Hell shall not touch us; even if it does, it will be for a few days." In their religion they are deceived by their own self-invented beliefs.[3.24]
Fakayfa 'Idhā Jama`nāhum Liyawmin Lā Rayba Fīhi Wa Wuffiyat Kullu Nafsin Mā Kasabat Wa Hum Lā Yužlamūna
What will they do when We will gather them together on the Day which is sure to come, when every soul will be given what it has earned and there shall be no injustice?[3.25]

Say: “O Allah! Master of all the Kingship, You give the kingdom to whom You please and take away the kingdom from whomsoever You please; You give honor to whom You please and disgrace whom You please; all the good is in Your hand; surely You have power over everything.[3.26]

You cause the night to pass into the day and You cause the day to pass into the night; You draw the living from the dead and You draw the dead from the living; and You provide sustenance for anyone You wish without measure."[3.27]

Let not the believers make unbelievers their protectors rather than the believers; anyone who does so will have nothing to hope for from Allah - except if you do so as a precaution to guard yourselves against their tyranny. Anyhow, Allah warns you to fear Him: because with Allah is your final refuge.[3.28]

He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Allah has full power over everything. On the Day of Judgment, when every soul will be confronted with whatever good it has done - as for its evil deeds, it will wish they were a long way off. Allah cautions you to beware of Him. Allah is full of kindness towards His devotees.[3.30]
Qul 'In Kuntum Tuĥibbūna Al-Laha Fa Attabi`ūnī Yuĥbibkumu Al-Lahu Wa Yaghfir LakumDhunūbakum Wa Allāhu Ghafūrun Raĥīmun
Tell the people O Muhammad: “If you sincerely love Allah, then follow me; Allah will also love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”[3.31]
Allah heard when the wife of `Imrمn said, “O my Rabb! I dedicate to Your service what is in my womb. Please accept it from me. You Alone hear all and know all."[3.35]

When she gave birth to a girl instead of a boy, she said: “My Rabb! I have given birth to a girl,” - Allah knew very well what she had delivered - "and that the male is not like the female, I have named her Maryam (Mary) and I seek Your protection for her and her children from the mischief of Shaitمn, the accursed."[3.36]

Her Rabb graciously accepted that girl. He made her grow up as a good girl and entrusted her to the care of Zakariya. Whenever Zakariya entered the sanctuary to see her, he found with her food. He asked, “O Maryam! From where did you get it?” She replied, “It came from Allah. In fact, Allah gives to whom He wants without measure."[3.37]

As he stood praying in the Mahrمb (a prayer place in the sanctuary) the angels called out to him saying: “Allah gives you good news of a son to be named Yahya (John), he will confirm the word of Allah, he will be a great leader, chaste and a Prophet from among the righteous."[3.39]
Qāla Rabbi 'Anná Yakūnu Lī Ghulāmun Wa Qad Balaghaniya Al-Kibaru Wa Amra'atī `Āqirun Qāla Kadhālika Al-Lahu Yaf`alu Mā Yashā'u
He said: “O my Rabb! How can I have a son now that I have reached an old age and my wife is barren?” “Such is the will of Allah” he replied, “ Allah does what He wants."[3.40]

Zakariya said: “My Rabb! Grant me a sign." It was said: “Your sign is that you will not be able to speak to people for three days except through gestures. During this time you should remember your Rabb very much and glorify Him in the evening and in the morning."[3.41]
Wa 'Idh Qālati Al-Malā'ikatu Yā Maryamu 'Inna Al-Laha Aşţafāki Wa Ţahharaki Wa Aşţafāki `Alá Nisā'i Al-`Ālamīna
There came the time when angels said: “O Maryam! Surely Allah has exalted you, purified you, and preferred you for His service over all the women of the worlds.[3.42]
Dhālika Min 'Nbā'i Al-Ghaybi Nūĥīhi 'Ilayka Wa Mā Kunta Ladayhim 'Idh Yulqūna 'Aqlāmahum 'Ayyuhum Yakfulu Maryama Wa Mā Kunta Ladayhim 'Idh Yakhtaşimūna
O Muhammad, this is the news from the Unseen which We are revealing to you. You were not present with them when priests of the temple cast their pens to decide which of them should be the guardian of Maryam; nor were you with them when they argued about it.[3.44]
'Idh Qālati Al-Malā'ikatu Yā Maryamu 'Inna Al-Laha Yubashshiruki Bikalimatin Minhu Asmuhu Al-Masīĥu `Īsá Abnu Maryama Wajīhāan Fī Ad-Dunyā Wa Al-'Ākhirati Wa Mina Al-Muqarrabīna
When the angels said “O Maryam! Allah gives you the good news with a Word from Him that you will be given a son: his name will be Messiah, Isa (Jesus Christ) the son of Maryam. He will be noble in this world and the Hereafter; and he will be from those who are very close to Allah. [3.45]
Hearing this, Maryam said, “O my Rabb! How can I have a son when no man has ever touched me?” He replied, “Even so, Allah creates however He wants; whenever He decides to do anything, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is![3.47]

and send him forth as a Rasool to the Children of Israel with this message: 'I have brought you signs of my appointment from your Rabb. I will make for you the likeness of a bird from clay; I will breathe into it and, with Allah’s leave, it will become a living bird. I will heal the blind and the lepers, and raise the dead to life, by Allah's leave. Furthermore, I will tell you what you have eaten and what you have stored in your houses. Surely these are the signs to convince you if you are believers.[3.49]

I am appointed to confirm that which is before me from the Taurمt (Torah) and to make lawful to you some of the things forbidden to you. Now I have brought you the signs from your Rabb, therefore fear Allah and obey me.[3.50]
When Isa (Jesus) found out that they (most of the children of Israel) had no faith, he asked: “Who will help me in the cause of Allah?” The Disciples replied: “We will help you in the cause of Allah. We believe in Allah. Be our witness that we are Muslims."[3.52]
Rabbanā 'Āmannā Bimā 'Anzalta Wa Attaba`nā Ar-Rasūla Fāktubnā Ma`a Ash-Shāhidīna
Then they invoked Allah and said): “Our Rabb! We believe in what you have revealed and we follow Your Rasool. Please count us with those who bear witness.”[3.53]
Wa Makarū Wa Makara Al-Lahu Wa Allāhu Khayru Al-Mākirīna
The unbelievers among the children of Israel plotted against Isa and Allah also devised a plan to raise him up, and Allah is the best in planning.[3.54]

Allah said: “O Isa (Jesus)! I am going to recall you (from your mission) and raise you up to Myself. I will clean you of those who rejected you and exalt your followers above the unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection; then to Me shall be your return and I shall judge those matters in which you have been disputing.[3.55]
In fact, the example of the birth of Isa ( Jesus) in the sight of Allah is like the example of Adam who had no father and mother, whom He created out of dust, then said to him: “Be” and he was.[3.59]
Faman Ĥājjaka Fīhi Min Ba`di Mā Jā'aka Mina Al-`Ilmi Faqul Ta`ālaw Nad`u 'Abnā'anā Wa 'Abnā'akum Wa Nisā'anā Wa Nisā'akum Wa 'Anfusanā Wa 'AnfusakumThumma Nabtahil Fanaj`al La`nata Al-Lahi `Alá Al-Kādhibīna
If anyone disputes with you concerning this matter (the birth of Jesus) after full knowledge has come to you, say: “Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on the liars."[3.61]
'Inna Hādhā Lahuwa Al-Qaşaşu Al-Ĥaqqu Wa Mā Min 'Ilahin 'Illā Al-Lahu Wa 'Inna Al-Laha Lahuwa Al-`Azīzu Al-Ĥakīmu
Verily this is the absolute true explanation. The fact of the matter is, that there is no god but Allah; and for sure Allah is the Mighty, the Wise.[3.62]
Say: “O people of the Book! Let us get together on what is common between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah; that we shall not associate any partners with Him; that we shall not take from among ourselves any lords beside Allah.” If they reject your invitation then tell them: “Bear witness that we are Muslims (who have surrendered to Allah).”[3.64]

O people of the Book! Why do you argue with us about Ibrمhïm, as to whether he was a Jew or a Christian? You know that the Taurمt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) were revealed long after him? Have you no sense at all?[3.65]
So far you have been arguing about things of which you had some knowledge! Must you now argue about that of which you know nothing at all? Allah knows while you do not.[3.66]
Mā Kāna 'Ibrāhīmu Yahūdīyāan Wa Lā Naşrānīyāan Wa Lakin Kāna Ĥanīfāan Muslimāan Wa Mā Kāna Mina Al-Mushrikīna
Ibrمhïm was neither a Jew nor a Christian but he was a Muslim, true in faith. He was not one of the Mushrikïn (who set up partners with Allah).[3.67]
'Inna 'Awlá An-Nāsi Bi'ibrāhīma Lalladhīna Attaba`ūhu Wa Hadhā An-Nabīyu Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa Allāhu Wa Līyu Al-Mu'uminīna
Surely the people nearest to Ibrمhïm are those who follow him, which are this Prophet (Muhammad) and those who believe with him; Allah is the Protector of only those who are the believers.[3.68]

Some of the People of the Book say to one another: “Believe in what is revealed to the believers (Muslims) in the morning and deny it in the evening; so that they (the Muslims) may follow suit and abandon their faith.[3.72]
Do not follow anyone except the one who follows your own religion." O Muhammad, tell them: “The only true guidance is the guidance of Allah." These people of the Book do not believe that revelation could be sent to anyone besides themselves, like that which has been sent to you; or that they will ever argue with you in the presence of your Rabb. Tell them: “For sure, grace is in the hands of Allah: He bestows it on whom He pleases; Allah has boundless knowledge."[3.73]

Among the People of the Book there are some who, if you trust them with a heap of gold, will readily return it back; and there are others who, if you trust them with a single dinمr (silver coin) will not return it back unless you constantly keep on demanding; because they say, “We are not going to be called to account for our behavior with the illiterates (non Jews or Christians)." Thus they deliberately ascribe a lie to Allah - knowing well that He never permitted such wrongdoing.[3.75]
Balá Man 'Awfá Bi`ahdihi Wa Attaqá Fa'inna Al-Laha Yuĥibbu Al-Muttaqīna
In fact, those who keep their promise and guard themselves against evil are His beloved, for Allah loves only those who guard themselves against such evils.[3.76]

In fact, those who sell the covenants of Allah and their own oaths for a petty price, shall have no portion in the hereafter. Allah will neither speak to them nor even look at them nor cleanse them from their sins on the Day of Judgment. They shall have painful punishment.[3.77]
Wa 'Inna Minhum Lafarīqāan Yalwūna 'Alsinatahum Bil-Kitābi Litaĥsabūhu Mina Al-Kitābi Wa Mā Huwa Mina Al-Kitābi Wa Yaqūlūna Huwa Min `Indi Al-Lahi Wa Mā Huwa Min `Indi Al-Lahi Wa Yaqūlūna `Alá Al-Lahi Al-Kadhiba Wa Hum Ya`lamūna
There are some among them who twist their tongues pretending a quote from their Holy Book; so that you may think that what they read is a part of the Book, whereas, in fact it is not a part of the Book. They also assert, “It is from Allah” whereas, in fact it is not from Allah. Thus they deliberately ascribe a lie to Allah.[3.78]

It is not possible for a man whom Allah has given the Book, the Wisdom and the Prophethood, that he would say to the people: “Worship me instead of Allah." On the contrary he would say: “Be devoted worshippers of your Rabb in accordance with the Holy Book you have been teaching and reading."[3.79]
Wa Lā Ya'murakum 'An Tattakhidhū Al-Malā'ikata Wa An-Nabīyīna 'Arbābāan 'Aya'murukum Bil-Kufri Ba`da 'Idh 'Antum Muslimūna
He would never ask you to take angels and prophets as your lords. Would he ask you to become kafir (unbeliever) after you have become Muslim (believer)?[3.80]

Allah took a covenant with the Prophets, saying: "Now that you have been given the Book and Wisdom; there will come to you a Rasool who will confirm that which is with you, you will have to believe in him and help him in his mission." Then He said “Do you affirm this covenant and agree to take this heavy responsibility?" The Prophets replied, “Yes, we do affirm." Allah said, “Very well, bear witness to this and I too bear witness with you."[3.81]

O Prophet, say: “We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Ibrمhïm (Abraham), Isma`il (Ishmael), Ishمq (Isaac), Ya'qoob (Jacob) and their descendants; and in that which was given to Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus) and other Prophets from their Rabb; we do not discriminate between any one of them, and to Allah do we submit in Islam."[3.84]
Wa Man Yabtaghi Ghayra Al-'Islāmi Dīnāan Falan Yuqbala Minhu Wa Huwa Fī Al-'Ākhirati Mina Al-Khāsirīna
If anyone is looking for a religion other than Islam, then let it be known that it will not be accepted from him; and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.[3.85]

How can it be that Allah would guide those people who commit Kufr (reject faith) after their Imمn (acceptance of faith), acknowledge that the Rasool is true, and clear proofs have come to them? Allah does not guide such wrongdoers.[3.86]
However, those who disbelieve after their belief (acceptance of Islam) then go on adding to their disbelief, their repentance will never be accepted; because they intentionally chose to go astray.[3.90]
'Inna Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Wa Mātū Wa Hum Kuffārun Falan Yuqbala Min 'Aĥadihim Mil'u Al-'Arđi Dhahabāan Wa Law Aftadá Bihi 'Ūlā'ika Lahum `Adhābun 'Alīmun Wa Mā Lahum Min Nāşirīna
As to those who are unbelievers and die while they were unbelievers, if they were to fill the whole earth with gold and offer it as a ransom for each one of them, that would not be accepted. These are the ones who shall have the painful punishment, and shall have no helpers.[3.91]
You can never attain righteousness unless you spend in the cause of Allah that which you dearly cherish; and whatever you spend, surely it is known to Allah.[3.92]
All food, that is lawful in Islamic Law, was also Halمl (lawful) for the children of Israel except what Israel (Ya'qoob) made Harمm (unlawful) for himself before the Taurمt (Torah) was revealed to Musa. Ask them: “Bring the Taurمt (Torah) and read a passage from it in support of your objection, if what you say is true."[3.93]
Undoubtedly the first House for the worship of Allah ever built for mankind is the one at Bakka (Makkah), a blessed site and a guidance for all the worlds.[3.96]
Fīhi 'Āyātun Bayyinātun Maqāmu 'Ibrāhīma Wa Man Dakhalahu Kāna 'Āmināan Wa Lillahi `Alá An-Nāsi Ĥijju Al-Bayti Mani Astaţā`a 'Ilayhi Sabīlāan Wa Man Kafara Fa'inna Al-LahaGhanīyun `Ani Al-`Ālamīna
In it are clear signs and the Station of Ibrمhïm (Abraham) where he used to worship. Whoever enters it is safe. Performance of Hajj (pilgrimage) to this House is a duty to Allah for all who can afford the journey to it; and the one who disobeys this commandment should know that Allah is Self-sufficient, beyond the need of any from the worlds.[3.97]

Say: “O people of the Book! Why do you obstruct the believers from the path of Allah and desire that they follow the crooked way while you yourselves are witnesses to Allah’s Covenant? Allah is not unmindful of what you do."[3.99]
Wa Kayfa Takfurūna Wa 'Antum Tutlá `Alaykum 'Āyātu Al-Lahi Wa Fīkum Rasūluhu Wa Man Ya`taşim Bil-Lahi Faqad Hudiya 'Ilá Şirāţin Mustaqīmin
Just think, how can you turn away from belief on their statements, when Allah’s revelations are being recited to you and Allah’s Rasool is among you? Whoever holds fast to Allah, will indeed be guided towards the Right Way.[3.101]
Wa A`taşimū Biĥabli Al-Lahi Jamī`āan Wa Lā Tafarraqū Wa Adhkurū Ni`mata Al-Lahi `Alaykum 'Idh Kuntum 'A`dā'an Fa'allafa Bayna Qulūbikum Fa'aşbaĥtum Bini`matihi 'Ikhwānāan Wa Kuntum `Alá Shafā Ĥufratin Mina An-Nāri Fa'anqadhakum Minhā Kadhālika Yubayyinu Al-Lahu Lakum 'Āyātihi La`allakum Tahtadūna
All together hold fast to the rope of Allah (Faith of Islam) and be not divided among yourselves. Remember Allah's favors upon you when you were enemies; He united your hearts, so by His favor you became brethren; you were at the brink of the fiery pit and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be rightly guided.[3.103]
Wa Ltakun Minkum 'Ummatun Yad`ūna 'Ilá Al-Khayri Wa Ya'murūna Bil-Ma`rūfi Wa Yanhawna `Ani Al-Munkari Wa 'Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Mufliĥūna
Let there arise from among you a band of people who should invite to righteousness, enjoin good and forbid evil; such are the ones who shall be successful.[3.104]
Wa Lā Takūnū Kālladhīna Tafarraqū Wa Akhtalafū Min Ba`di Mā Jā'ahumu Al-Bayyinātu Wa 'Ūlā'ika Lahum `Adhābun `Ažīmun
Be not like those who became divided into sects and who started to argue against each other after clear revelations had come to them. Those responsible for division and arguments will be sternly punished[3.105]
on the Day when some faces will be brightened with joy and others darkened with gloom. To the dark-faced sinner it will be said: “Did you adopt the way of disbelief after embracing the True Faith? Then taste the punishment for having adopted the way of disbelief."[3.106]

You are the best nation which has ever been raised for the guidance of mankind. You enjoin good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) believed, it would surely have been better for them; among them some are believers but most of them are transgressors.[3.110]
Anyhow, they can do no harm to you except a trifling annoyance; if they do fight against you, they will turn their backs and run, getting no help from anywhere.[3.111]

Disgrace will be branded on them wherever they are found except when they get refuge under the favor of Allah or the patronage of other people; they have incurred the wrath of Allah and have been branded with misery because they disbelieved Allah’s revelations and slew His prophets unjustly and because they disobeyed and transgressed the limits.[3.112]
Laysū Sawā'an Min 'Ahli Al-Kitābi 'Ummatun Qā'imatun Yatlūna 'Āyāti Al-Lahi 'Ānā'a Al-Layli Wa Hum Yasjudūna
Yet, they are not all alike: there are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite the revelations of Allah all night long and then prostrate before Him;[3.113]
Yu'uminūna Bil-Lahi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-'Ākhiri Wa Ya'murūna Bil-Ma`rūfi Wa Yanhawna `Ani Al-Munkari Wa Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-Khayrāti Wa 'Ūlā'ika Mina Aş-Şāliĥīna
they believe in Allah and the Last Day, they enjoin good and forbid evil and rush in emulating each other in good deeds. These are the righteous people.[3.114]

Surely for those who are unbelievers, neither their wealth nor their children shall in the least protect them from the wrath of Allah; they will be the inmates of the hellfire and live therein forever.[3.116]

What they spend in this life (hypocritical charity) may be compared to a freezing wind which strikes and destroys the tillage of people who have wronged themselves (it is the lack of faith which makes their reward null and void); Allah is not unjust to them; it is they who have done injustice to their own souls.[3.117]
O believers! Do not make intimate friendships with any but your own people. The unbelievers will not miss any opportunity to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your destruction: their malice has become evident from what they say; and what they conceal in their hearts is far worse. We have made Our revelations plain to you, if you want to comprehend.[3.118]

Whereas you love them, they do not love you even though you believe in their Holy Books (the Psalms, the Torah, and the Gospels). When they meet you they say “We also believe in your prophet and your Qur’an;” but when they are alone, they bite their fingertips in rage against you. Say to them: “May you perish in your rage;" surely Allah knows all the secrets of the heart.[3.119]

When you are blessed with good fortune they grieve; but if some misfortune overtakes you they rejoice. If you are patient and guard yourself against evil, their schemes will not harm you in any way. Surely Allah encompasses all their actions.[3.120]
Wa 'IdhGhadawta Min 'Ahlika Tubawwi'u Al-Mu'uminīna Maqā`ida Lilqitāli Wa Allāhu Samī`un `Alīmun
O Muhammad, remember that morning when you left your household at an early hour to assign the believers to their battle-posts (in the Battle of Uhud): Allah hears and knows everything.[3.121]
'Idh Hammat Ţā'ifatāni Minkum 'An Tafshalā Wa Allāhu Walīyuhumā Wa `Alá Al-Lahi Falyatawakkali Al-Mu'uminūna
Remember when two of your companies became fainthearted and Allah protected them through strengthening their hearts. In Allah should the believers put their trust.[3.122]
Balá 'In Taşbirū Wa Tattaqū Wa Ya'tūkum Min Fawrihim Hādhā Yumdidkum Rabbukum Bikhamsati 'Ālāfin Mina Al-Malā'ikati Musawwimīna
Of course! If you remain patient and on your guard, Allah will send to your aid not three thousand but, five thousand specially marked angels in case of a sudden attack from the enemy.[3.125]
Liyaqţa`a Ţarafāan Mina Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'Aw Yakbitahum Fayanqalibū Khā'ibīna
(Allah sent the aid of Angels for the believers to offset the aid of shaitمns to the unbelievers) so that He might cut off a flank of the unbelievers or put them to flight, making them withdraw with utter disappointment.[3.127]
Wa Lillahi Mā Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Mā Fī Al-'Arđi Yaghfiru Liman Yashā'u Wa Yu`adhdhibu Man Yashā'u Wa Allāhu Ghafūrun Raĥīmun
To Allah belongs all that is in the Heavens and in the earth. He pardons whom He pleases and punishes whom He pleases. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.[3.129]

they are those who spend generously in the Way of Allah, whether they are in prosperity or in adversity, who control their anger and forgive other people for Allah loves such charitable people,[3.134]

who, if they commit an indecency or wrong their own souls, earnestly remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins; for no one can forgive sins except Allah, and those who do not knowingly persist in something wrong which they have done.[3.135]
'Ūlā'ika Jazā'uuhum Maghfiratun Min Rabbihim Wa Jannātun Tajrī Min Taĥtihā Al-'Anhāru Khālidīna Fīhā Wa Ni`ma 'Ajru Al-`Āmilīna
Such people will be rewarded with forgiveness from their Rabb beside gardens beneath which rivers flow, to live therein forever. How excellent is the reward for such laborers![3.136]
As for those who rejected the Divine Revelations, there have been many examples before you. Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who rejected the truth.[3.137]

If you have suffered a wound, so did the enemy. We alternate these days of varying fortunes among mankind so that Allah may know the true believers and take witnesses to the truth (grant martyrdom) from among you, for Allah does not love the unjust people,[3.140]
'Am Ĥasibtum 'An Tadkhulū Al-Jannata Wa Lammā Ya`lami Al-Lahu Al-Ladhīna Jāhadū Minkum Wa Ya`lama Aş-Şābirīna

Muhammad is no more than a Rasool of Allah, like the Rasools that passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you turn back on your heels (become unbelievers)? He that turns back on his heels will do no harm to Allah; but Allah will reward the thankful.[3.144]

No one dies without the permission of Allah. The term of every life is fixed. He that desires the reward in this world shall be given it here, and he that desires the reward in the hereafter shall be given it there. Soon We will reward the thankful.[3.145]

In the past, many Prophets have fought, in the Way of Allah, with a large number of godly people. They did not lose heart during the adversities that befell them in the path of Allah; they neither showed weakness nor submitted to falsehood. Allah loves the steadfast.[3.146]
Fa'ātāhumu Al-LahuThawāba Ad-Dunyā Wa Ĥusna Thawābi Al-'Ākhirati Wa Allāhu Yuĥibbu Al-Muĥsinīna
Therefore, Allah gave them the reward in this world and also an excellent reward awaits them in the Hereafter. Allah loves the righteous who are good to others.[3.148]
Soon We shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers for they commit shirk with Allah, for whom He has revealed no authority. The hellfire shall be their home; and evil is the home of the wrongdoers.[3.151]

Allah did indeed fulfill His promise to you when, with His leave, you defeated them until you flinched and fell into dispute about the order and disobeyed the Prophet, after Allah had brought within your sight the booty which you loved. Among you there were some who desired the gain of this world and some who desired the gain of the Hereafter. He allowed you to be defeated in order to test you, but now He has forgiven you, for Allah is gracious to the believers.[3.152]

Remember how you fled in panic and did not even look back at one another while the Rasool, at your rear, was calling out to you! Consequently, Allah inflicted upon you one sorrow after another to teach you a lesson; not to grieve for what you lose nor at any misfortune you may encounter. Allah is well aware of all that you do.[3.153]

Then, after this grief, He bestowed peace on some of you - a slumber which overcame them - while the others were stirred to anxiety by their own fancies, holding unjust and wrong suspicions about Allah, the suspicions of ignorance. Now they ask: “Have we any say in the matter?” Tell them: “All matters are in the hands of Allah." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to you. They mean to say: “If we had any say in the matter, none of us would have been killed here." Say to them: “Even if you had remained in your homes, those of you who were destined to be killed would nevertheless have been killed; but it was Allah’s will to test your faith and purge what was in your hearts. Allah has knowledge of the secrets of your hearts."[3.154]
As for those of you who turned their backs on the day when the two armies met, they failed in their duty because they were seduced by Shaitمn on account of some of their shortcomings. But now Allah has pardoned them; for Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.[3.155]

O believers! Do not be like the unbelievers who speak of those brethren of theirs who die during their travels on the earth or while engaged in fighting: “Had they but stayed with us they would not have died or been killed." Allah makes such thinking a cause of regret and anguish in their hearts. It is Allah who gives life and death. Allah is observant of all your actions.[3.156]

O Muhammad, it is a great Mercy of Allah that you are very gentle with them; had you been rough or hard-hearted, they would have deserted you. Therefore pardon them and ask Allah’s forgiveness for them. Consult them in the conduct of affairs; and when you make a decision to do something, then put your trust in Allah (hold fast to your decision). Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.[3.159]

It is not conceivable that any Prophet would hold back from the spoils of war; for anyone who holds back shall bring along whatever he has been withholding on the Day of Resurrection; then every soul shall be paid back in full what it has earned and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.[3.161]
'Afamani Attaba`a Riđwāna Al-Lahi Kaman Bā'a Bisakhaţin Mina Al-Lahi Wa Ma'wāhu Jahannamu Wa Bi'sa Al-Maşīru
Can it be conceivable that a person who is seeking the good pleasure of Allah will behave like the one who has incurred the wrath of Allah and is ultimately doomed to Hell, which is an evil refuge?[3.162]

Allah has done a great favor to the believers that He raised among them a Rasool from among themselves, reciting to them the Revelations of Allah, sanctifying them and teaching them the Book and Wisdom, although before this they were in manifest error.[3.164]

How is it that when you are afflicted with a loss, after you yourselves had inflicted losses twice as heavy upon your enemy in the Battle of Badr, you exclaimed: “Whose fault was that?” Say to them: “It was your own fault," Allah has power over everything.[3.165]
Wa Mā 'Aşābakum Yawma At-Taqá Al-Jam`āni Fabi'idhni Al-Lahi Wa Liya`lama Al-Mu'uminīna
The misfortune which befell you when the two armies met in the Battle of Uhud was with the leave of Allah so that He might know the true believers[3.166]

and the hypocrites. When it was said to them (hypocrites): “Come fight for the cause of Allah or at least defend yourselves,” they replied: “Had we known how to fight we would certainly come with you." On that day they were nearer to unbelief than to belief; for they uttered with their mouths what was not in their hearts. Allah is quite aware of what they were concealing.[3.167]

As for those, who, even after their injuries during the Battle of Uhud, responded to the call of Allah and His Rasool to follow the Qureysh army which was gathering to attack again, there will be a great reward for such of those who do righteous deeds and refrain from evil,[3.172]

and who, when the people told them: “Your enemies have mustered a great force against you: fear them,” grew more firm in their faith and replied: “Allah’s help is all-sufficient for us. He is the best protector."[3.173]

As a result, they returned home with blessings and grace from Allah and suffered no harm at all. Besides this, they had the honor of following what pleased Allah, and Allah is the Owner of mighty grace.[3.174]
Now you must have realized that it was the Shaitمn who was trying to prompt you to fear his followers. But have no fear of them. Fear Me, if you are true believers.[3.175]
O Muhammad, let not those who rush headlong into unbelief grieve you; surely they can do absolutely no harm to Allah. Allah intends to give them no share in the Hereafter. They shall have a grievous punishment.[3.176]

Allah will not leave the believers in their present condition; you are in this condition only until He separates the Evil from the Good. Allah will not do this by disclosing to you the secrets of the unseen. As for disclosing the unseen, Allah chooses those of his Rasools whom He pleases. Therefore, believe in Allah and His Rasool. If you have faith and guard yourselves against evil, you shall have a great reward.[3.179]

Let not those who are stingy in giving for charity from what Allah has blessed them with, think that it is good for them: nay it is very bad for them. All the wealth they hoarded with stingy behavior will be hung around their necks like a collar on the Day of Resurrection. It is Allah who will inherit the heavens and the earth. Allah is well aware of all your actions.[3.180]

Allah has heard the statement of those who said: “ Allah is poor and we are rich!” Their words are recorded and so is their unjust killings of the Prophets." On the Day of Judgment, We shall say: “Taste now the torment of burning![3.181]
They also claim: “Allah has commanded us to believe in no Rasool unless he shows us a sacrifice consumed by a fire from the Heaven." Ask them: “Other prophets before me have come to you with clear arguments and showed this miracle you are asking for. Why did you kill them if what you say is true?"[3.183]

Every soul shall taste death. You shall receive your full reward for everything which you have striven for on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is spared from the fire and is admitted into paradise will have attained the objective of this worldly life; for the life of this world is nothing but an illusory enjoyment.[3.185]

You shall certainly be tested through your wealth and with your persons; and you will certainly hear much that is hurtful from those who were given the Book before you, and from the Mushrikïn. But if you endure with patience and have fear of Allah, this will surely be a proof of your firm determination.[3.186]

When Allah made the covenant with those who were given the Book, they were asked to spread the teachings of the Book to mankind and not to conceal them; but they cast it behind their backs and sold them for a petty price. What a bad bargain they made![3.187]

Those who rejoice in their misdeeds and wish to be praised for what they have not actually done, should never think that they will escape the punishment; in fact they shall have a painful punishment;[3.188]

For sure, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day there are signs for men of understanding.[3.190]

Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and meditate on the creation of the heavens and the earth, then cry out:“ Our Rabb! You have not created this in vain. Glory to You! Save us from the punishment of Fire.[3.191]
Our Rabb! We have heard someone calling to the true faith saying; 'Believe in your Rabb,' so we have believed. Our Rabb! Forgive us our sins, remove from us our evil deeds and make us die with the righteous.[3.193]
Rabbanā Wa 'Ātinā Mā Wa`adtanā `Alá Rusulika Wa Lā Tukhzinā Yawma Al-Qiyāmati 'Innaka Lā Tukhlifu Al-Mī`āda
Our Rabb! Grant us what You have promised through Your Rasools and save us from the shame on the Day of Resurrection; for You never break Your promise."[3.194]

So their Rabb answers their prayers, saying: “ I will not let the good deed of any worker among you, whether a male or a female, be wasted. You are the offspring of one another. Those who had to leave their homes or were expelled therefrom, and those who suffered persecution for My sake and fought and were killed: I will forgive them their sins and admit them into gardens beneath which the rivers flow; a prize from Allah, and Allah holds the finest prize!”[3.195]

As for those who fear their Rabb, there shall be gardens beneath which rivers flow, they will live therein forever, this will be their welcome from Allah; and what Allah possesses is the best for righteous people.[3.198]

There are some among the people of the Book who truly believe in Allah and what has been revealed to you, O Muhammad, and what has been revealed to them before you. They humble themselves before Allah and do not sell the revelations of Allah for a petty price. For them, there will be a reward from their Rabb. Surely Allah is very swift in settling all accounts.[3.199]
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Aşbirū Wa Şābirū Wa Rābiţū Wa Attaqū Al-Laha La`allakum Tufliĥūna
O believers! Be patient, excel in patience during confrontation, hold yourselves ready for battle and have fear of Allah so that you may succeed.[3.200]
