Please
Note Well — It is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or “bash” anyone who may hold religious or
political persuasions or opinions other than our own. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your
opinion, we will defend to the death your G-d-given right to hold it. Since this website was
originally launched in 1995, we have continually held the position that We are not “anti-”anybody; we are only
pro-Truth [click here for the definition of “Truth”].
We firmly
believe that it can be proven with absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed
Word of G-d,
and is the standard by which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that
concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those beliefs with the
Revealed Truth of the Bible. We also attempt to
demonstrate how far the Body of Messiah has drifted from its Jewish origins. We earnestly await the return of
Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as promised by the prophets. If you disagree with our position,
please click this link.
As
the Olam Habah
quickly approaches, each of us is faced with some very difficult choices. One of these choices is whether or not
to defend ourselves from those who would force us to “submit” to the rule of Islam and Allah over every aspect of
our daily lives. (The word “Islam” literally means "to submit" or "to surrender" [to
Allah].) We have decided to stand with Joshua: “As for me and my household, we will serve
ADONAI!” (Jos
24:15 (CJB) -
Show Context)
Our
political and religious leaders tell us daily that Islam is a “peaceful religion” and that the great majority of
Muslims want only to live next to us in peace. However, it is expressly forbidden by the Qur'an for a Muslim to
accept a non-Muslim as a friend (Sura
3:28), and whoever does so “shall have nothing of Allah” (i.e., cannot, by their own definition, be a
true Muslim). If a person claims to be a Muslim, they must (by definition) believe the Qur'an; if
they claim to believe the Qur'an, they must believe the whole Qur'an, which says: “Say to those who
disbelieve [the Qur'an]: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place”
(Sura 3:12).
In Islamic eschatology (the teaching about the future) the ultimate goal of Islam is to
convert or kill all Jews and
Christians, and to have a one-world Islamic government and religion.

Due to
the numerous threats we have received from “peaceful” Muslims, we have been forced to remove our physical address
from the website. |

Please Note: In both
Islamic theology and uninformed Western society, the word “Allah” is often translated
“God,” as if Allah were the same as the G-d of the Bible
(which
he absolutely is not). Whenever “Allah”
has been translated as “God” in this copy of the Qur'an, we have corrected that grave
error by replaced that word with the correct designation “[Allah]”. |

In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful.
[6.1] All praise is due to
Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light; yet those
who disbelieve set up equals with their Lord.
[6.2] He it is Who created
you from clay, then He decreed a term; and there is a term named with Him; still you doubt.
[6.3] And He is Allah in
the heavens and in the earth; He knows your secret (thoughts) and your open (words), and He
knows what you earn.
[6.4] And there does not
come to them any communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from
it
[6.5] So they have indeed
rejected the truth when it came to them; therefore the truth of what they mocked at will
shine upon them.
[6.6] Do they not consider
how many a generation We have destroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth as
We have not established you, and We sent the clouds pouring rain on them in abundance, and
We made the rivers to flow beneath them, then We destroyed them on account of their faults
and raised up after them another generation.
[6.7] And if We had sent to
you a writing on a paper, then they had touched it with their hands, certainly those who
disbelieve would have said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.
[6.8] And they say: Why has
not an angel been sent down to him? And had We sent down an angel, the matter would have
certainly been decided and then they would not have been respited.
[6.9] And if We had made
him angel, We would certainly have made him a man, and We would certainly have made confused
to them what they make confused.
[6.10] And certainly
apostles before you were mocked at, but that which they mocked at encompassed the scoffers
among them.
[6.11] Say: Travel in the
land, then see what was the end of the rejecters.
[6.12] Say: To whom belongs
what is in the heavens and the earth? Say: To Allah; He has ordained mercy on Himself; most
certainly He will gather you on the resurrection day-- there is no doubt about it. (As for)
those who have lost their souls, they will not believe.
[6.13] And to Him belongs
whatever dwells in the night and the day; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[6.14] Say: Shall I take a
guardian besides Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds (others)
and is not (Himself) fed. Say: I am commanded to be the first who submits himself, and you
should not be of the polytheists.
[6.15] Say: Surely I fear,
if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of a grievous day.
[6.16] He from whom it is
averted on that day, Allah indeed has shown mercy to him; and this is a manifest
achievement.
[6.17] And if Allah touch
you with affliction, there is none to take it off but He; and if He visit you with good,
then He has power over all things.
[6.18] And He is the
Supreme, above His servants; and He is the Wise, the Aware.
[6.19] Say: What thing is
the weightiest in testimony? Say: Allah is witness between you and me; and this Quran has
been revealed to me that with it I may warn you and whomsoever it reaches. Do you really
bear witness that there are other gods with Allah? Say: I do not bear witness. Say: He is
only one [Allah], and surely I am clear of that which you set up (with Him).
[6.20] Those whom We have
given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons; (as for) those who have lost
their souls, they will not believe.
[6.21] And who is more
unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or (he who) gives the lie to His
communications; surely the unjust will not be successful.
[6.22] And on the day when
We shall gather them all together, then shall We say to those who associated others (with
Allah): Where are your associates whom you asserted?
[6.23] Then their excuse
would be nothing but that they would say: By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.
[6.24] See how they lie
against their own souls, and that which they forged has passed away from them.
[6.25] And of them is he
who hearkens to you, and We have cast veils over their hearts lest they understand it and a
heaviness into their ears; and even if they see every sign they will not believe in it; so
much so that when they come to you they only dispute with you; those who disbelieve say:
This is naught but the stories of the ancients.
[6.26] And they prohibit
(others) from it and go far away from it, and they only bring destruction upon their own
souls while they do not perceive.
[6.27] And could you see
when they are made to stand before the fire, then they shall say: Would that we were sent
back, and we would not reject the communications of our Lord and we would be of the
believers.
[6.28] Nay, what they
concealed before shall become manifest to them; and if they were sent back, they would
certainly go back to that which they are forbidden, and most surely they are liars.
[6.29] And they say: There
is nothing but our life of this world, and we shall not be raised.
[6.30] And could you see
when they are made to stand before their Lord. He will say: Is not this the truth? They will
say: Yea! by our Lord. He will say: Taste then the chastisement because you disbelieved.
[6.31] They are losers
indeed who reject the meeting of Allah; until when the hour comes upon them all of a sudden
they shall say: O our grief for our neglecting it! and they shall bear their burdens on
their backs; now surely evil is that which they bear.
[6.32] And this world's
life is naught but a play and an idle sport and certainly the abode of the hereafter is
better for those who guard (against evil); do you not then understand?
[6.33] We know indeed that
what they say certainly grieves you, but surely they do not call you a liar; but the unjust
deny the communications of Allah.
[6.34] And certainly
apostles before you were rejected, but they were patient on being rejected and persecuted
until Our help came to them; and there is none to change the words of Allah, and certainly
there has come to you some information about the messengers.
[6.35] And if their turning
away is hard on you, then if you can seek an opening (to go down) into the earth or a ladder
(to ascend up) to heaven so that you should bring them a sign and if Allah had pleased He
would certainly have gathered them all on guidance, therefore be not of the ignorant.
[6.36] Only those accept
who listen; and (as to) the dead, Allah will raise them, then to Him they shall be returned.
[6.37] And they say: Why
has not a sign been sent down to him from his Lord? Say: Surely Allah is able to send down a
sign, but most of them do not know.
[6.38] And there is no
animal that walks upon the earth nor a bird that flies with its two wings but (they are)
genera like yourselves; We have not neglected anything in the Book, then to their Lord shall
they be gathered.
[6.39] And they who reject
Our communications are deaf and dumb, in utter darkness; whom Allah pleases He causes to err
and whom He pleases He puts on the right way.
[6.40] Say: Tell me if the
chastisement of Allah should overtake you or the hour should come upon you, will you call
(on others) besides Allah, if you are truthful?
[6.41] Nay, Him you call
upon, so He clears away that for which you pray if He pleases and you forget what you set up
(with Him).
[6.42] And certainly We
sent (apostles) to nations before you then We seized them with distress and affliction in
order that they might humble themselves.
[6.43] Yet why did they
not, when Our punishment came to them, humble themselves? But their hearts hardened and the
Shaitan made what they did fair-seeming to them.
[6.44] But when they
neglected that with which they had been admonished, We opened for them the doors of all
things, until when they rejoiced in what they were given We seized them suddenly; then lo!
they were in utter despair.
[6.45] So the roots of the
people who were unjust were cut off; and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
[6.46] Say: Have you
considered that if Allah takes away your hearing and your sight and sets a seal on your
hearts, who is the G-d besides Allah that can bring it to you? See how We
repeat the communications, yet they turn away.
[6.47] Say: Have you
considered if the chastisement of Allah should overtake you suddenly or openly, will any be
destroyed but the unjust people?
[6.48] And We send not
messengers but as announcers of good news and givers of warning, then whoever believes and
acts aright, they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
[6.49] And (as for) those
who reject Our communications, chastisement shall afflict them because they transgressed.
[6.50] Say: I do not say to
you, I have with me the treasures of Allah, nor do I know the unseen, nor do I say to you
that I am an angel; I do not follow aught save that which is revealed to me. Say: Are the
blind and the seeing one alike? Do you not then reflect?
[6.51] And warn with it
those who fear that they shall be gathered to their Lord-- there is no guardian for them,
nor any intercessor besides Him-- that they may guard (against evil).
[6.52] And do not drive
away those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, they desire only His
favor; neither are you answerable for any reckoning of theirs, nor are they answerable for
any reckoning of yours, so that you should drive them away and thus be of the unjust.
[6.53] And thus do We try
some of them by others so that they say: Are these they upon whom Allah has conferred
benefit from among us? Does not Allah best know the grateful?
[6.54] And when those who
believe in Our communications come to you, say: Peace be on you, your Lord has ordained
mercy on Himself, (so) that if any one of you does evil in ignorance, then turns after that
and acts aright, then He is Forgiving, Merciful.
[6.55] And thus do We make
distinct the communications and so that the way of the guilty may become clear.
[6.56] Say: I am forbidden
to serve those whom you call upon besides Allah. Say: I do not follow your low desires. for
then indeed I should have gone astray and I should not be of those who go aright.
[6.57] Say: Surely I have
manifest proof from my Lord and you call it a lie; I have not with me that which you would
hasten; the t judgment is only Allah's; He relates the truth and He is the best of deciders.
[6.58] Say: If that which
you desire to hasten were with me, the matter would have certainly been decided between you
and me; and Allah best knows the unjust.
[6.59] And with Him are the
keys of the unseen treasures-- none knows them but He; and He knows what is in the land and
the sea, and there falls not a leaf but He knows it, nor a grain in the darkness of the
earth, nor anything green nor dry but (it is all) in a clear book.
[6.60] And He it is Who
takes your souls at night (in sleep), and He knows what you acquire in the day, then He
raises you up therein that an appointed term may be fulfilled; then to Him is your return,
then He will inform you of what you were doing.
[6.61] And He is the
Supreme, above His servants, and He sends keepers over you; until when death comes to one of
you, Our messengers cause him to die, and they are not remiss.
[6.62] Then are they sent
back to Allah, their Master, the True one; now surely His is the judgment and He is swiftest
in taking account.
[6.63] Say: Who is it that
delivers you from the dangers of the land and the sea (when) you call upon Him (openly)
humiliating yourselves, and in secret: If He delivers us from this, we should certainly be
of the grateful ones.
[6.64] Say: Allah delivers
you from them and from every distress, but again you set up others (with Him).
[6.65] Say: He has the
power that He should send on you a chastisement from above you or from beneath your feet, or
that He should throw you into confusion, (making you) of different parties; and make some of
you taste the fighting of others. See how We repeat the communications that they may
understand.
[6.66] And your people call
it a lie and it is the very truth. Say: I am not placed in charge of you.
[6.67] For every prophecy
is a term, and you will come to know (it).
[6.68] And when you see
those who enter into false discourses about Our communications, withdraw from them until
they enter into some other discourse, and if the Shaitan causes you to forget, then do not
sit after recollection with the unjust people.
[6.69] And nought of the
reckoning of their (deeds) shall be against those who guard (against evil), but (theirs) is
only to remind, haply they may guard.
[6.70] And leave those who
have taken their religion for a play and an idle sport, and whom this world's life has
deceived, and remind (them) thereby lest a soul should be given up to destruction for what
it has earned; it shall not have besides Allah any guardian nor an intercessor, and if it
should seek to give every compensation, it shall not be accepted from it; these are they who
shall be given up to destruction for what they earned; they shall have a drink of boiling
water and a painful chastisement because they disbelieved.
[6.71] Say: Shall we call
on that besides Allah, which does not benefit us nor harm us, and shall we be returned back
on our heels after Allah has guided us, like him whom the Shaitans have made to fall down
perplexed in the earth? He has companions who call him to the right way, (saying): Come to
us. Say: Surely the guidance of Allah, that is the (true) guidance, and we are commanded
that we should submit to the Lord of the worlds.
[6.72] And that you should
keep up prayer and be careful of (your duty to) Him; and He it is to Whom you shall be
gathered.
[6.73] And He it is Who has
created the heavens and the earth with truth, and on the day He says: Be, it is. His word is
the truth, and His is the kingdom on the day when the trumpet shall be blown; the Knower of
the unseen and the seen; and He is the Wise, the Aware.
[6.74] And when Ibrahim
said to his sire, Azar: Do you take idols for gods? Surely I see you and your people in
manifest error.
[6.75] And thus did We show
Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and that he might be of those who are sure.
[6.76] So when the night
over-shadowed him, he saw a star; said he: Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said: I do
not love the setting ones.
[6.77] Then when he saw the
moon rising, he said: Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said: If my Lord had not guided me
I should certainly be of the erring people.
[6.78] Then when he saw the
sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? Is this the greatest? So when it set, he said: O my
people! surely I am clear of what you set up (with Allah).
[6.79] Surely I have turned
myself, being upright, wholly to Him Who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not
of the polytheists.
[6.80] And his people
disputed with him. He said: Do you dispute with me respecting Allah? And He has guided me
indeed; and I do not fear in any way those that you set up with Him, unless my Lord pleases;
my Lord comprehends all things in His knowledge; will you not then mind?
[6.81] And how should I
fear what you have set up (with Him), while you do not fear that you have set up with Allah
that for which He has not sent down to you any authority; which then of the two parties is
surer of security, if you know?
[6.82] Those who believe
and do not mix up their faith with iniquity, those are they who shall have the security and
they are those who go aright.
[6.83] And this was Our
argument which we gave to Ibrahim against his people; We exalt in dignity whom We please;
surely your Lord is Wise, Knowing.
[6.84] And We gave to him
Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before, and of his descendants,
Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; and thus do We reward those who do good
(to others).
[6.85] And Zakariya and
Yahya and Isa and Ilyas; every one was of the good;
[6.86] And Ismail and Al-Yasha
and Yunus and Lut; and every one We made to excel (in) the worlds:
[6.87] And from among their
fathers and their descendants and their brethren, and We chose them and guided them into the
right way.
[6.88] This is Allah's
guidance, He guides thereby whom He pleases of His servants; and if they had set up others
(with Him), certainly what they did would have become ineffectual for them.
[6.89] These are they to
whom We gave the book and the wisdom and the prophecy; therefore if these disbelieve in it
We have already entrusted with it a people who are not disbelievers in it.
[6.90] These are they whom
Allah guided, therefore follow their guidance. Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it;
it is nothing but a reminder to the nations.
[6.91] And they do not
assign to Allah the attributes due to Him when they say: Allah has not revealed anything to
a mortal. Say: Who revealed the Book which Musa brought, a light and a guidance to men,
which you make into scattered writings which you show while you conceal much? And you were
taught what you did not know, (neither) you nor your fathers. Say: Allah then leave them
sporting in their vain discourses.
[6.92] And this is a Book
We have revealed, blessed, verifying that which is before it, and that you may warn the
metropolis and those around her; and those who believe in the hereafter believe in it, and
they attend to their prayers constantly.
[6.93] And who is more
unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says: It has been revealed to me; while
nothing has been revealed to him, and he who says: I can reveal the like of what Allah has
revealed? and if you had seen when the unjust shall be in the agonies of death and the
angels shall spread forth their hands: Give up your souls; today shall you be recompensed
with an ignominious chastisement because you spoke against Allah other than the truth and
(because) you showed pride against His communications.
[6.94] And certainly you
have come to Us alone as We created you at first, and you have left behind your backs the
things which We gave you, and We do not see with you your intercessors about whom you
asserted that they were (Allah's) associates in respect to you; certainly the ties between
you are now cut off and what you asserted is gone from you.
[6.95] Surely Allah causes
the grain and the stone to germinate; He brings forth the living from the dead and He is the
bringer forth of the dead from the living; that is Allah! how are you then turned away.
[6.96] He causes the dawn
to break; and He has made the night for rest, and the sun and the moon for reckoning; this
is an arrangement of the Mighty, the Knowing.
[6.97] And He it is Who has
made the stars for you that you might follow the right way thereby in the darkness of the
land and the sea; truly We have made plain the communications for a people who know.
[6.98] And He it is Who has
brought you into being from a single soul, then there is (for you) a resting-place and a
depository; indeed We have made plain the communications for a people who understand.
[6.99] And He it is Who
sends down water from the cloud, then We bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then We
bring forth from it green (foliage) from which We produce grain piled up (in the ear); and
of the palm-tree, of the sheaths of it, come forth clusters (of dates) within reach, and
gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, alike and unlike; behold the fruit of it when
it yields the fruit and the ripening of it; most surely there are signs in this for a people
who believe.
[6.100] And they make the
jinn associates with Allah, while He created them, and they falsely attribute to Him sons
and daughters without knowledge; glory be to Him, and highly exalted is He above what they
ascribe (to Him).
[6.101] Wonderful
Originator of the heavens and the earth! How could He have a son when He has no consort, and
He (Himself) created everything, and He is the Knower of all things.
[6.102] That is Allah, your
Lord, there is no G-d but He; the Creator of all things, therefore serve Him,
and He has charge of all things.
[6.103] Vision comprehends
Him not, and He comprehends (all) vision; and He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.
[6.104] Indeed there have
come to you clear proofs from your Lord; whoever will therefore see, it is for his own soul
and whoever will be blind, it shall be against himself and I am not a keeper over you.
[6.105] And thus do We
repeat the communications and that they may say: You have read; and that We may make it
clear to a people who know.
[6.106] Follow what is
revealed to you from your Lord; there is no G-d but He; and withdraw from the
polytheists.
[6.107] And if Allah had
pleased, they would not have set up others (with Him) and We have not appointed you a keeper
over them, and you are not placed in charge of them.
[6.108] And do not abuse
those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest exceeding the limits they should abuse Allah
out of ignorance. Thus have We made fair seeming to every people their deeds; then to their
Lord shall be their return, so He will inform them of what they did.
[6.109] And they swear by
Allah with the strongest of their oaths, that if a sign came to them they would most
certainly believe in it. Say: Signs are only with Allah; and what should make you know that
when it comes they will not believe?
[6.110] And We will turn
their hearts and their sights, even as they did not believe in it the first time, and We
will leave them in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
[6.111] And even if We had
sent down to them the angels and the dead had spoken to them and We had brought together all
things before them, they would not believe unless Allah pleases, but most of them are
ignorant.
[6.112] And thus did We
make for every prophet an enemy, the Shaitans from among men and jinn, some of them
suggesting to others varnished falsehood to deceive (them), and had your Lord pleased they
would not have done it, therefore leave them and that which they forge.
[6.113] And that the hearts
of those who do not believe in the hereafter may incline to it and that they may be well
pleased with it and that they may earn what they are going to earn (of evil).
[6.114] Shall I then seek a
judge other than Allah? And He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is) made plain;
and those whom We have given the Book know that it is revealed by your Lord with truth,
therefore you should not be of the disputers.
[6.115] And the word of
your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly; there is none who can change His words,
and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[6.116] And if you obey
most of those in the earth, they will lead you astray from Allah's way; they follow but
conjecture and they only lie.
[6.117] Surely your Lord--
He best knows who goes astray from His way, and He best knows those who follow the right
course.
[6.118] Therefore eat of
that on which Allah's name has been mentioned if you are believers in His communications.
[6.119] And what reason
have you that you should not eat of that on which Allah's name has been mentioned, and He
has already made plain to you what He has forbidden to you-- excepting what you are
compelled to; and most surely many would lead (people) astray by their low desires out of
ignorance; surely your Lord-- He best knows those who exceed the limits.
[6.120] And abandon open
and secret sin; surely they who earn sin shall be recompensed with what they earned.
[6.121] And do not eat of
that on which Allah's name has not been mentioned, and that is most surely a transgression;
and most surely the Shaitans suggest to their friends that they should contend with you; and
if you obey them, you shall most surely be polytheists.
[6.122] Is he who was dead
then We raised him to life and made for him a light by which he walks among the people, like
him whose likeness is that of one in utter darkness whence he cannot come forth? Thus what
they did was made fair seeming to the unbelievers.
[6.123] And thus have We
made in every town the great ones to be its guilty ones, that they may plan therein; and
they do not plan but against their own souls, and they do not perceive.
[6.124] And when a
communication comes to them they say: We will not believe till we are given the like of what
Allah's apostles are given. Allah best knows where He places His message. There shall befall
those who are guilty humiliation from Allah and severe chastisement because of what they
planned.
[6.125] Therefore (for)
whomsoever Allah intends that He would guide him aright, He expands his breast for Islam,
and (for) whomsoever He intends that He should cause him to err, He makes his breast strait
and narrow as though he were ascending upwards; thus does Allah lay uncleanness on those who
do not believe.
[6.126] And this is the
path of your Lord, (a) right (path); indeed We have made the communications clear for a
people who mind.
[6.127] They shall have the
abode of peace with their Lord, and He is their guardian because of what they did.
[6.128] And on the day when
He shall gather them all together: O assembly of jinn! you took away a great part of
mankind. And their friends from among the men shall say: Our Lord! some of us profited by
others and we have reached our appointed term which Thou didst appoint for us. He shall say:
The fire is your abode, to abide in it, except as Allah is pleased; surely your Lord is
Wise, Knowing.
[6.129] And thus do We make
some of the iniquitous to befriend others on account of what they earned.
[6.130] O assembly of jinn
and men! did there not come to you apostles from among you, relating to you My
communications and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: We bear
witness against ourselves; and this world's life deceived them, and they shall bear witness
against their own souls that they were unbelievers.
[6.131] This is because
your Lord would not destroy towns unjustly while their people were negligent.
[6.132] And all have
degrees according to what they do; and your Lord is not heedless of what they do.
[6.133] And your Lord is
the Self-sufficient one, the Lord of mercy; if He pleases, He may take you off, and make
whom He pleases successors after you, even as He raised you up from the seed of another
people.
[6.134] Surely what you are
threatened with must come to pass and you cannot escape (it).
[6.135] Say: O my people!
act according to your ability; I too am acting; so you will soon come to know, for whom (of
us) will be the (good) end of the abode; surely the unjust shall not be successful.
[6.136] And they set apart
a portion for Allah out of what He has created of tilth and cattle, and say: This is for
Allah-- so they assert-- and this for our associates; then what is for their associates, it
reaches not to Allah, and whatever is (set apart) for Allah, it reaches to their associates;
evil is that which they judge.
[6.137] And thus their
associates have made fair seeming to most of the polytheists the killing of their children,
that they may cause them to perish and obscure for them their religion; and if Allah had
pleased, they would not have done it, therefore leave them and that which they forge.
[6.138] And they say: These
are cattle and tilth prohibited, none shall eat them except such as We please-- so they
assert-- and cattle whose backs are forbidden, and cattle on which they would not mention
Allah's name-- forging a lie against Him; He shall requite them for what they forged.
[6.139] And they say: What
is in the wombs of these cattle is specially for our males, and forbidden to our wives, and
if it be stillborn, then they are all partners in it; He will reward them for their
attributing (falsehood to Allah); surely He is Wise, Knowing.
[6.140] They are lost
indeed who kill their children foolishly without knowledge, and forbid.what Allah has given
to them forging a lie against Allah; they have indeed gone astray, and they are not the
followers of the right course.
[6.141] And He it is Who
produces gardens (of vine), trellised and untrellised, and palms and seed-produce of which
the fruits are of various sorts, and olives and pomegranates, like and unlike; eat of its
fruit when it bears fruit, and pay the due of it on the day of its reaping, and do not act
extravagantly; surely He does not love the extravagant.
[6.142] And of cattle (He
created) beasts of burden and those which are fit for slaughter only; eat of what Allah has
given you and do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan; surely he is your open enemy.
[6.143] Eight in pairs--
two of sheep and two of goats. Say: Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or
that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge if you are
truthful.
[6.144] And two of camels
and two of cows. Say: Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the
wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined you this? Who,
then, is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah that he should lead astray men
without knowledge? Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[6.145] Say: I do not find
in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden for an eater to eat of except that
it be what has died of itself, or blood poured forth, or flesh of swine-- for that surely is
unclean-- or that which is a transgression, other than (the name of) Allah having been
invoked on it; but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit,
then surely your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
[6.146] And to those who
were Jews We made unlawful every animal having claws, and of oxen and sheep We made unlawful
to them the fat of both, except such as was on their backs or the entrails or what was mixed
with bones: this was a punishment We gave them on account of their rebellion, and We are
surely Truthful.
[6.147] But if they give
you the lie, then say: Your Lord is the Lord of All-encompassing mercy; and His punishment
cannot be averted from the guilty people.
[6.148] Those who are
polytheists will say: If Allah had pleased we would not have associated (aught with Him) nor
our fathers, nor would we have forbidden (to ourselves) anything; even so did those before
them reject until they tasted Our punishment. Say: Have you any knowledge with you so you
should bring it forth to us? You only follow a conjecture and you only tell lies.
[6.149] Say: Then Allah's
is the conclusive argument; so if He please, He would certainly guide you all.
[6.150] Say: Bring your
witnesses who should bear witness that Allah has forbidden this, then if they bear witness,
do not bear witness with them; and follow not the low desires of those who reject Our
communications and of those who do not believe in the hereafter, and they make (others)
equal to their Lord.
[6.151] Say: Come I will
recite what your Lord has forbidden to you-- (remember) that you do not associate anything
with Him and show kindness to your parents, and do not slay your children for (fear of)
poverty-- We provide for you and for them-- and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of
them which are apparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah
has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this He has enjoined you with that you
may understand.
[6.152] And do not approach
the property of the orphan except in the best manner until he attains his maturity, and give
full measure and weight with justice-- We do not impose on any soul a duty except to the
extent of its ability; and when you speak, then be just though it be (against) a relative,
and fulfill Allah's covenant; this He has enjoined you with that you may be mindful;
[6.153] And (know) that
this is My path, the right one therefore follow it, and follow not (other) ways, for they
will lead you away from His way; this He has enjoined you with that you may guard (against
evil).
[6.154] Again, We gave the
Book to Musa to complete (Our blessings) on him who would do good (to others), and making
plain all things and a guidance and a mercy, so that they should believe in the meeting of
their Lord.
[6.155] And this is a Book
We have revealed, blessed; therefore follow it and guard (against evil) that mercy may be
shown to you.
[6.156] Lest you say that
the Book was only revealed to two parties before us and We were truly unaware of what they
read.
[6.157] Or lest you should
say: If the Book had been revealed to us, we would certainly have been better guided than
they, so indeed there has come to you clear proof from your Lord, and guidance and mercy.
Who then is more unjust than he who rejects Allah's communications and turns away from them?
We will reward those who turn away from Our communications with an evil chastisement because
they turned away.
[6.158] They do not wait
aught but that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord should come, or that some
of the signs of your Lord should come. On the day when some of the signs of your Lord shall
come, its faith shall not profit a soul which did not believe before, or earn good through
its faith. Say: Wait; we too are waiting.
[6.159] Surely they who
divided their religion into parts and became sects, you have no concern with them; their
affair is only with Allah, then He will inform them of what they did.
[6.160] Whoever brings a
good deed, he shall have ten like it, and whoever brings an evil deed, he shall be
recompensed only with the like of it, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
[6.161] Say: Surely, (as
for) me, my Lord has guided me to the right path; (to) a most right religion, the faith of
Ibrahim the upright one, and he was not of the polytheists.
[6.162] Say. Surely my
prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the
worlds;
[6.163] No associate has
He; and this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who submit.
[6.164] Say: What! shall I
seek a Lord other than Allah? And He is the Lord of all things; and no soul earns (evil) but
against itself, and no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another; then to your Lord
is your return, so He will inform you of that in which you differed.
[6.165] And He it is Who
has made you successors in the land and raised some of you above others by (various) grades,
that He might try you by what He has given you; surely your Lord is quick to requite (evil),
and He is most surely the Forgiving, the Merciful.
