لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا وُجُوْھَكُمْ قِـبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللہِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَالْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃِ وَالْكِتٰبِ وَالنَّبِيّٖنَ۝۰ۚ وَاٰتَى الْمَالَ عَلٰي حُبِّہٖ ذَوِي الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَـتٰمٰى وَالْمَسٰكِيْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيْلِ۝۰ۙ وَالسَّاۗىِٕلِيْنَ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ۝۰ۚ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَاٰتَى الزَّكٰوۃَ۝۰ۚ وَالْمُوْفُوْنَ بِعَہْدِہِمْ اِذَا عٰھَدُوْا۝۰ۚ وَالصّٰبِرِيْنَ فِي الْبَاْسَاۗءِ وَالضَّرَّاۗءِ وَحِيْنَ الْبَاْسِ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا۝۰ۭ وَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ھُمُ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ۝۱۷۷

English

Ahmed Ali

Piety does not lie in turning your face to East or West: Piety lies in believing in God, the Last Day and the angels, the Scriptures and the prophets, and disbursing your wealth out of love for God among your kin and the orphans, the wayfarers and mendicants, freeing the slaves, observing your devotional obligations, and in paying the zakat and fulfilling a pledge you have given, and being patient in hardship, adversity, and times of peril. These are the men who affirm the truth, and they are those who follow the straight path.

يٰۗاَيُّہَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلٰي۝۰ۭ اَلْحُــرُّ بِالْحُــرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْاُنْـثٰى بِالْاُنْـثٰى۝۰ۭ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَہٗ مِنْ اَخِيْہِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّـبَاعٌۢ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَاَدَاۗءٌ اِلَيْہِ بِـاِحْسَانٍ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ تَخْفِيْفٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَـۃٌ۝۰ۭ فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَہٗ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ۝۱۷۸

English

Ahmed Ali

O believers, ordained for you is retribution for the murdered, (whether) a free man (is guilty) of (the murder of) a free man, or a slave of a slave, or a woman of a woman. But he who is pardoned some of it by his brother should be dealt with equity, and recompense (for blood) paid with a grace. This is a concession from your Lord and a kindness. He who transgresses in spite of it shall suffer painful punishment.

178

وَ لَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيٰوۃٌ يّٰۗاُولِي الْاَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۱۷۹
Walakum fee alqisasi hayatun ya olee alalbabi laAAallakum tattaqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

In retribution there is life (and preservation). O men of sense, you may haply take heed for yourselves.

179

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ اِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرَۨا۝۰ۚۖ الْوَصِيَّۃُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْاَقْرَبِيْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ۝۰ۚ حَقًّا عَلَي الْمُتَّقِيْنَ۝۱۸۰ۭ
Kutiba AAalaykum itha hadara ahadakumu almawtu in taraka khayran alwasiyyatu lilwalidayni waalaqrabeena bialmaAAroofi haqqan AAala almuttaqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

It is ordained that when any one of you nears death, and he owns goods and chattels, he should bequeath them equitably to his parents and next of kin. This is binding on those who are upright and fear God.

180

فَمَنْۢ بَدَّلَہٗ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعَہٗ فَاِنَّمَاۗ اِثْمُہٗ عَلَي الَّذِيْنَ يُبَدِّلُوْنَہٗ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۱۸۱ۭ
Faman baddalahu baAAdama samiAAahu fainnama ithmuhu AAala allatheena yubaddiloonahu inna Allaha sameeAAun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

And any one who changes the will, having heard it, shall be guilty and accountable; for God hears all and knows everything.

181

فَمَنْ خَافَ مِنْ مُّوْصٍ جَنَفًا اَوْ اِثْمًـا فَاَصْلَحَ بَيْنَہُمْ فَلَاۗ اِثْمَ عَلَيْہِ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۱۸۲ۧ
Faman khafa min moosin janafan aw ithman faaslaha baynahum fala ithma AAalayhi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

He who suspects wrong or partiality on the part of the testator and brings about a settlement, does not incure any guilt, for God is verily forgiving and merciful.
