3 - Al-Imran

لٰكِنِ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّھُمْ لَھُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِھَا الْاَنْھٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْھَا نُزُلًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللہِ خَيْرٌ لِّلْاَبْرَارِ۝۱۹۸
Lakini allatheena ittaqaw rabbahum lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha nuzulan min AAindi Allahi wama AAinda Allahi khayrun lilabrari

English

Ahmed Ali

But those who are pious and obedient to their Lord, will have gardens with streams of running water where they will abide as guests of God; and what is with God is best for the pious.

وَاِنَّ مِنْ اَھْلِ الْكِتٰبِ لَمَنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِاللہِ وَمَاۗ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ وَمَاۗ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْھِمْ خٰشِعِيْنَ لِلہِ۝۰ۙ لَا يَشْتَرُوْنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللہِ ثَـمَنًا قَلِيْلًا۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ لَھُمْ اَجْرُھُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّھِمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ سَرِيْعُ الْحِسَابِ۝۱۹۹
Wainna min ahli alkitabi laman yuminu biAllahi wama onzila ilaykum wama onzila ilayhim khashiAAeena lillahi la yashtaroona biayati Allahi thamanan qaleelan olaika lahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihim inna Allaha sareeAAu alhisabi

English

Ahmed Ali

Certainly among the people of the Book are some who believe in God and in what has been revealed to you and had been revealed to them; and they bow in humility before God, and do not trade for paltry gain the signs of God. Their reward is verily with their Lord; and swift is the reckoning of God!

199

يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اصْبِرُوْا وَصَابِرُوْا وَرَابِطُوْا ۝۰ۣ وَاتَّقُوا اللہَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ۝۲۰۰ۧ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo isbiroo wasabiroo warabitoo waittaqoo Allaha laAAallakum tuflihoona

English

Ahmed Ali

So you who believe, have endurance in suffering, be patient and persevere, strengthen each other and be firm, and be pious and fear God that you may find success.

يٰۗاَيُّھَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَۃٍ وَّخَلَقَ مِنْھَا زَوْجَہَا وَبَثَّ مِنْہُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيْرًا وَّنِسَاۗءً۝۰ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللہَ الَّذِيْ تَسَاۗءَلُوْنَ بِہٖ وَالْاَرْحَامَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيْبًا۝۱

English

Ahmed Ali

O MEN, FEAR your Lord who created you from a single cell, and from it created its mate, and from the two of them dispersed men and women (male and female) in multitudes. So fear God in whose name you ask of one another (the bond of) relationships. God surely keeps watch over you.

وَاٰتُوا الْيَــتٰمٰۗى اَمْوَالَھُمْ وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبِيْثَ بِالطَّيِّبِ۝۰۠ وَلَا تَاْكُلُوْۗا اَمْوَالَھُمْ اِلٰۗى اَمْوَالِكُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ كَانَ حُوْبًا كَبِيْرًا۝۲
Waatoo alyatama amwalahum wala tatabaddaloo alkhabeetha bialttayyibi wala takuloo amwalahum ila amwalikum innahu kana hooban kabeeran

English

Ahmed Ali

Give to the orphans their possessions, and do not replace things of your own which are bad with things which are good among theirs, and do not intermix their goods with your own and make use of them, for this is a grievous crime.

وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تُقْسِطُوْا فِي الْيَتٰمٰى فَانْكِحُوْا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَاۗءِ مَثْنٰى وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبٰعَ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوْا فَوَاحِدَۃً اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰۗى اَلَّا تَعُوْلُوْا۝۳ۭ
Wain khiftum alla tuqsitoo fee alyatama fainkihoo ma taba lakum mina alnnisai mathna wathulatha warubaAAa fain khiftum alla taAAdiloo fawahidatan aw ma malakat aymanukum thalika adna alla taAAooloo

English

Ahmed Ali

If you fear you cannot be equitable to orphan girls (in your charge, or misuse their persons), then marry women who are lawful for you, two, three, or four; but if you fear you cannot treat so many with equity, marry only one, or a maid or captive. This is better than being iniquitous.

3

وَاٰتُوا النِّسَاۗءَ صَدُقٰتِہِنَّ نِحْلَۃٍ۝۰ۭ فَاِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِّنْہُ نَفْسًا فَكُلُوْہُ ہَنِيْۗـــــًٔـا مَّرِيْۗــــــًٔـا۝۴
Waatoo alnnisaa saduqatihinna nihlatan fain tibna lakum AAan shayin minhu nafsan fakuloohu haneean mareean

English

Ahmed Ali

Give to women their dowers willingly, but if they forego part of it themselves, then use it to your advantage.

وَلَا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَھَاۗءَ اَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِىْ جَعَلَ اللہُ لَكُمْ قِيٰـمًا وَّارْزُقُوْھُمْ فِيْھَا وَاكْسُوْھُمْ وَقُوْلُوْا لَھُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا۝۵
Wala tutoo alssufahaa amwalakumu allatee jaAAala Allahu lakum qiyaman waorzuqoohum feeha waoksoohum waqooloo lahum qawlan maAAroofan

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not entrust (their) property God has given you to maintain (On trust), to those who are immature; but feed them and clothe them from it, and speak to them with kindness.

وَابْتَلُوا الْيَتٰمٰى حَتّٰۗي اِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ اٰنَسْتُمْ مِّنْھُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوْۗا اِلَيْھِمْ اَمْوَالَھُمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَاْكُلُوْھَاۗ اِسْرَافًا وَّبِدَارًا اَنْ يَّكْبَرُوْا۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ۝۰ۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ فَقِيْرًا فَلْيَاْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوْف۝۰ۭ فَاِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ اِلَيْھِمْ اَمْوَالَھُمْ فَاَشْہِدُوْا عَلَيْھِمْ۝۰ۭ وَكَفٰى بِاللہِ حَسِـيْبًا۝۶

English

Ahmed Ali

And test (and try) the orphans until they are of marriageable age. If you find they have acquired sound judgement, then hand over their property to them; but devour not their wealth, nor use it up hastily out of fear that soon they will grow up (and demand it). And (the guardian) who is rich should abstain from spending much (of their wealth); and he who is poor should use only as much as is fair. And when you give back their possessions have this witnessed, (and remember) that God is sufficient to take all account.

لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِيْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَ۝۰۠ وَلِلنِّسَاۗءِ نَصِيْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْہُ اَوْ كَثُرَ۝۰ۭ نَصِيْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًا۝۷

English

Ahmed Ali

Men have a share in what the parents and relatives leave behind at death; and women have a share in what the parents and relatives leave behind. Be it large or small a legal share is fixed.
