CHAPTER : 6
AL AN’AM – CATTLE
Total verses: 165
There were many superstitious beliefs among the ancient Arabs about the cattle. They have been warned in the verses 136,138,139,143 and 144 of this chapter. Hence,this chpter is named ‘Al Anam’.
In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and the most Merciful.
1. All praise be to Allah. It is He who created the heavens507 and the earth. Made the darkness429 and the light. Still, the disbelievers (of only one God) make others equal to their God.
2. He is the one who created368 you from the clay503. Then fixed the term(for death). He has another specified term also(for raising you alive again). Still, you are in doubt.506
3. It is He who is Allah in the heavens507 and on the earth. He knows the secrets of your minds and what you make public. He also knows what you do.
4. If any sign comes to them from among the signs of their Allah, they will not but reject it.
5. When the truth comes to them, they considered it to be a lie. The details about what they have been mocking at will reach them.
6.Do they not understand that We have destroyed so many generations before them? We have given them such facilities which we have not provided for you on the earth. We made the heaven to send down rain on them, continuously. Beneath them we made the rivers flow. We destroyed them for their sins. We created another generation after them.
7. (O Muhammad), even We had sent down a Book written on the paper and if they have touched it with their hands152&312 , the disbeliever (of only one God) would have said, “This is nothing but open black magic.”
8. They say, “Why should not have an angel been sent down with him? If We had sent an angel then the matter would have been closed. Then, they would not be given time153.”
9. Even if We had to send an angel, they would have made him a human being. Even then, we would have created the same confusion about which they have been confused154.
10. (O Muhammad), and before you so many messengers were mocked at. That which they mocked itself surrounded the mockers.
11.Say, “Travel on the earth and think how was the end of those who considered it to be a lie.”
12. Ask, “To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens507 and on the earth”? Say, ‘Allah’. He has made blessings, a duty upon Himself. He will certainly gather you on the Day of Khiyamah1. There is no doubt about it. Those who have inflicted loss to themselves will not believe.
13. And whatever lives either in the night or in the day belongs only to Him. He is Hearing, knowing.
14.Say, “Shall I have some other guardian except Allah, who created the heavens507 and the earth? It is He who gives food463. He is not given food.” And also say, “Indeed, I have been ordered to be the first among those who are obedient and not to become the one who associate others to Allah”.
15.Say, “If I disobey God I fear the suffering of the great Day1 of Khiyamah1.
16.On the Day1 He blessed only those who were protected from the suffering. That is the clear success.
17.And if Allah causes trouble to you then there is no-body to remove that except Him. If He bestows good on you then He is powerful over all the things.
18.And it is He Who is the Ruler over His servants. He is wise and knowing.
19. Ask, (O Muhammad), “What is the greatest evidence?” Say, “It is only Allah who is the witness between me and you. It has been revealed187 to me in order to warn you and whomsoever it reaches through this Quran”. You say, “Do you give evidence that along with Allah there are other gods? I will not give evidence (like that)”. And say, “Indeed, He is the one to be worshipped. And indeed, I have turned away from your (action of) associating others to God.
20.To whom We have given the Book, they know (Muhammad) as they know their children25. Those who have caused loss to themselves, will not believe.
21.Who is more unjust than the one who has invented lies on Allah or consider His verses as lies? Indeed, unjust will not get success.
22. We will ask those who associated others to Allah on the Day1 on which We will gather all of them together, “Where are your gods whom you imagined?”
23.Their reply will not be anything except to say, “We promise on Allah, who is our God, we have not been of those who associated others to God”.
24.Observe, how they tell lies against themselves. Whatever they have imagined will disappear from them.
25.And among them (O Muhammad) there are person who listen (come to) you. We have made in their minds, which they cannot understand, coverings and deafness in their ears. They will never believe even if they see all the signs. When the disbelievers (of Us) come to you they will argue with you saying, “These are not but imagined tales of fore-fathers”.
26. And they move away from that and prevent others also. They destroy themselves. And they do not understand.
27.When they are made to stand before the Hell, if you could see, (they will) say, “Should we not be sent back? Then we would become believers by not considering our God’s verses lies”.
28.Rather, whatever they have been hiding before is revealed to them. Even if they are sent back they will again do the same which was forbidden. Indeed, they are liars.
29. They said, “There is no life except this life in the world for us. We will not be raised alive.”
30. When they are made to stand before their God, if you could see, Allah will ask, “Is this not truth?” They will say, “Yes. (By the) promise on our God, (this is the truth)”. (God) will say, “You taste the suffering because you have been disbelieving (Me)”.
31. Those who considered meeting Allah488 a lie have incurred loss. When that Time1 comes suddenly upon them, they will say, “O, as we have transgressed in this world the harm has occurred”. They will carry the sins on their backs265. Remember, what they carry is very bad.
32. This life in the world is nothing but play and extravagance. For those who fear (God) the life in the hereafter is the best. Will you not understand?
33. We know that, what they say (o Muhammad) causes you grief. They did not say you are a liar. Rather, those who caused injustice reject only the verses of Allah.
34. O Muhammad),the messengers (who went before have been considered only liars. They were patient even when they were considered liars and were troubled. Finally, Our help reached them. Nobody can change Allah’s words155. The news about the messenger has (already) come to you.
35. (O Muhammad),if their boycott is seen as big(burdensome) to you, then if it is possible, you make a tunnel into the earth or fix a ladder in the sky and bring miracle to them. If Allah had wanted he would have gathered them together in the right way. You do not become ignorant81.
36.Only heavens can answer. Allah will give life to the death. Then they will be returned only to Him.
37. And they ask, “Should not a miracle be sent to him from his God?” Say, “Indeed, Allah has the power to send the miracle”. Even then most of them do not understand.
38.The living-beings on the earth, the birds that fly with their wings on the sky, all are communities like yourselves. We have left out nothing in the Book.157 Then they will be gathered together to God.
39. Those who considered Our verses lies are deaf and dumb. They are in darkness429. Allah leaves in the wrong way whomever He wants. Guides whom He wants, in the right way.
40. Ask, “If Allah’s suffering comes to you or that Time1 comes to you, do you call others who are not Allah?” If you are truthful give reply.
41. Rather you call only Him. You forget those whom you have associated with God. If He wants He will remove that for which you called Him.
42. (O Muhammad),We also sent messengers to the generations which went before. We punished them with poverty and disease to humble them.
43. Should they have not submitted when the suffering came to them? Rather, their hearts became hard. Shaitan showed whatever they have been doing, attractive to them.
44. When they forgot the advice given to them, we opened to them the gates of all the things. We punished them suddenly, when they were happy about the things given to them. Then they lost their belief.
45.So, those who have done injustice were rooted out. And all praise be to Allah only.
46. Tell them, “Give reply, to the question, is there is any (other) god except Allah, who can bring when Allah removes the sense of hearing and seeing and puts the seal on your minds?” Observe how we explain our signs and then how they reject them.
47. Tell them, “Give answer, to the question, will others expect those who have done injustice be destroyed if Allah’s suffering come to you suddenly or directly.158”
48. And we do not send the messengers except as bringers of good news and as warners. There is no fear for those who believe and mind themselves. They will not become sad.
49. Suffering will reach those who considered, Our verses lies because they have been doing wrongs.
50. Say (O Muhammad), “I will not say that I have Allah’s treasury and know the hidden. I will not also say that I am an angel. I follow no other thing except that which is revealed to me”. And ask, “Will the blind and the seeing be equal? Then, will you not think.”
51. And warn by it, “Those who fear, that they will be gathered together to Allah, have neither guardian nor intercessor17 except Him.” Hence, they will fear (God).
52.And do not drive away those who pray to Him in the night and in the morning seeking the satisfaction of God. You have no responsibility with regards to the enquiry? They also have no responsibility in the enquiry regarding you. So, if you send them away you will have done injustice.
53. We tested among them484 , one with the other, like this, so that, they will say, “Should Allah send His blessings among us only to such (low class people)?” Does not Allah knows well those who are grateful?
54.And if those who believe in our verses come to you (O Muhammad), say, “Let the salaam(peace) be upon you159. Allah has made giving blessing as obligatory upon Himself. Indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful, if whoever among you have done bad due to ignorance and then repent and mends himself by asking forgiveness”
55. And we make the signs clear so that the wrong doer has to be seen clearly.
56. Say, “Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those whom you worship except Allah.” And also say, “I will not follow your desires. (If I follow) then i will go astray. I would not be of the rightly guided.”
57. And say, “Indeed, I am with the proof from my God. You consider it a lie. It is not with me what you hasten. The authority is not for anybody except Allah. He speaks only truth. He is the best among those who gives justice.”
58. And say, “If I had that for which you hasten, the matter would have been finished between me and you. Allah is knowing of the unjust.”
59. And He has the keys of the hidden. Nobody knows that except Him. He knows whatever is in the land and in the sea. No leaf falls down about which He is not aware of. Even if it is a seed in the darkness429 of the earth or either it is wet or dry that is not found but in a clear book157.
60. And it is He who seizes your souls at night. He knows what you do in the day. He raises you in the day so that the specified period has to be fulfilled. Your return is only to Him. He will inform you about what you have been doing.
61.And He is the one who has authority over His servants. He sends to you guardians160. So, when death occurs to one among you Our messengers161 (angels of death) seize their souls. They will not be negligent (in their work).
62.Then their souls will be taken to Allah their real Master. Remember, only He has the authority. He is the quick Accountant.
63. Ask, “Who will be the protector from the darkness429 of the earth and the sea?” when they pray to Him humbly and secretly, “If He saves us from this we will be grateful to Him.”
64.And say, “Only Allah saves you from this and from every harm. Then you associate others to Him.”
65. And say, “He has the power to send suffering for you from above or from below your feet, divide you into groups and make each taste cruelty of others.” Remember, how We make the signs clear for them to understand.
66. And eventhough it was the truth your people consider it to be a lie. Say, “I am not a guardian to you81.”
67. There is a time for every news to happen. Later, you will understand it.
68. And when you see those who are engaged in trying to find fault in our verses, ignore them till they engage themselves in some other matter. If Shaitan makes you forget, then, when the remembrance comes to you, do not sit with those who caused injustice.
69.And those who fear (God), there is no share in the enquiry about them. Still, you have the responsibility of giving them advice, for they should fear (God).
70.And leave those who made this religion a play and an extravagance and also those whom the worldly life has lured them. You advice through this about the reward that everyone will get for what they have done. He has neither a guardian nor an intercessor except Allah17. (Even) if he gives all types of Compensation, it will not be received from him. They will be given reward for what they have done. As they have been disbelieving (only one God) they will have heated drink and painful suffering.
71.Say, “Will we pray those who can neither do good nor harm to us except Allah? Will we be returned to the same way after Allah has shown the right way? (If we return like that) we will become like the one, whom Shaitan has led astray and (who) has been pushed into the confusion on the earth eventhough he has friends who have been calling, come to us towards the right way.” And say, “only Allah’s way is the right way. We are ordered to obey the God of the universe.”
72. And establish prayer, fear only Him. Will be gathered only to Him.
73. It is He who created the heavens and the earth with proper reason. Any day he says ‘be’ then it is. His word is truth. To Him belongs the rule on the Day1 the ‘sur’ will be blown. He is knowing the hidden and the visible. He is the Wise and the All-knowing.
74. And remind, what Ibrahim said to his father Azar, “Do you presume the idols as gods? I consider you and your community to be in open wrong”.
75. And We showed the signs of the heavens507 and the earth like this, so that Ibrahim will become a firm believer.
76.When the night covered him, on seeing a star he said, “It is my God”. When it set, he said, “I will not like those which disappear”.
77.When he saw the moon rising, he said, “This is my God”. When it set, he said, “I would certainly become one among the group which had gone astray, if my God does not show me the right way.”
78.When he saw the sun rising, he said, “This is my God. This is very big.” when it set, he said, “O my people, indeed, i have distanced myself from what you associate(with Allah)162.”
79.(Also said), “Indeed, I have turned my face towards the one who created the heavens 507 and the earth, standing firm in the right way. I am not of those who associated others (with God). ”
80. And this community argued with Him. (He said), “Do you argue with me about my God, when Allah has shown me the right way? I will not fear what you have associated (to God). (Nothing will happen) to me unless my God wants it. He has surrounded all things with his wisdom. Will you not understand?”
81. He also said, “And when you do not fear, associating to Him things about which God has not given any evidence, how can I fear those which you have associated with to God? If you understand, who deserves between the two groups, to be fearless?”
82.Only for such, who have believed and have not mixed injustice with their belief, there is a fearless state. They are the rightly guided.
83.And it is our evidence. We gave it to Ibrahim against his people. We will increase the degree to whom We wants. Indeed, your God is Wise,Knowing.
84.,85.,86.We gave Isac and Yaqub to him. Showed the right way to all. Before that We showed the right way to Nuh, among his progeny, Dawood, Sulaiman, Ayub, Yusuf, Musa, Harun, Zakariah, Yahya, Isa, Ilyas, Ismail, Alyasa, Yunus and Lut. Thus we will reward those who do good. All of them are good. We honoured them all above the people of the universe26.
87. And We selected (many of them) from among their fore-fathers, their progeny and their brothers and guided them in the right way.
88. This is the way of God. He guides with them, from among His servants, whom He wants. If they had associated others with Him, then, their (good) deeds would have been destroyed, from them.498
89.We gave them the Book, the authority and the status of a prophet. If they reject it then We will make guardians of that community which will not reject it164.
90. He showed the right way only to them. So, (O Muhammad), you will also follow their way. Say, “For this I have not asked you for any reward. This is nothing but an advice for the people of the universe.”
91.And they have not respected Allah the way He should be respected, when they said, “Allah has not sent down anything to any human-being”. Ask, “Who revealed the Book brought by Musa as a light and guidance the right way for the people? And say “Allah”. (And also say), “You have also made it into scrolls. You make it public. Much of it you hide. You have been informed of what you and your fore-fathers (have not known)knew not”. Then leave them in the state of amusement in what they were immersed.
92. (O Muhammad),this Book,281 We have sent for you to warn the Mother city (Makkah) and (the people) in its surroundings. This is a blessed (one), confirming that which had gone before4 it. Those who believe in the hereafter believe in it. They are careful about their prayers.
93.Who has done more injustice than the one who lies in the name of Allah, eventhough nothing is informed to him from (God) one who says, ‘It is informed to me’, and one who says, ‘I will also reveal as Allah has revealed’. If you could see those who cause injustice, in the pangs of death, angels will extend their hands165 towards them. (They will say), “You yourself expel your souls. You have been put to such humiliating suffering because you told things in the name of Allah which were not truth and also you rejected His verses166”.
94. (It will be said), “Whatever We have given to you, you left it behind your backs and have certainly come to Us all alone, as I created you in the beginning. I do not see your intercessors with you who have been considered gods by you17? (The relationship) among you have been broken. What you imagined have disappeared from you”.
95. Indeed, Allah brings forth the seeds and nuts by splitting them. He brings the living from the lifeless441. He is the bringer of the lifeless from the living. He is Allah. How have you been misdirected?
96. It is Allah who causes the dawn. He made the night for rest, the sun and the moon as calendar. This is the arrangement of the Mighty, the Knowing.
97. And it is He who made stars for you so that, you will know the way in the darknesses429 of the land and the sea. We have explained the signs to the understanding community.
98.It is He who created you from a single person368 . (You) have a place for shelter and a place to return. We have explained the signs to the understanding community167.
99. And it is He who sent down water from the heaven. Thereby, We bring forth the growth of everything. We also bring-forth green plants. We bring-forth layers of grains from those plants. (We bring-forth) bunches of fruits hanging from the sheathes of the date-palm, gardens of grapevines, olive tree and pomegranates. Both of them are similar (in shape) but difference (in tastes). Observe the yield when it gives fruit and its ripening. Indeed, there are many evidence for the community which will believe.
100.Eventhough, Allah has created the jinns,(they have) associated them (Jinns) to Him. They have invented male children and female children to Him, without knowledge. But He is Pure10(free from all weakness).He is the Most High and above their imagination.
101. (He) is the creator of the heavens507 and the earth without any prior model. When he has no wife how can he have children? It is He who created all the things. He is Knowing of all things.
102. He is Allah, your God. Nobody is there to be worshipped except Him. He is the creator of everything. So, worship Him only. He is the guardian of all things.
103.Eyes cannot see Him. But, He sees the eyes. He is keen, the knowing21.
104.(Say), “Signs have come to you from your God. It is good for those who observe it. It is bad for those who do not see it. I am not your protector”.
105.Thus, (We) explain169 the signs like this so, they will say, “You say after learing (from others)” and to make clear to the community, which understands.
106.You (O Muhammad) follow that which has been sent to you. Nobody is there to be worshipped except Him. Boycott those who make others equal to Allah.
107.They would not have assciated others equal to Him if Allah had wanted. We have not made you a protector for them. And you are also not a guardian for them81.
108.Do not scold those whom they pray, other than Allah. They will foolishly scold Allah, transgressing the limit170. Thus, We showed their deeds attractive to every community. Then their return is only to their God. He will inform them about what they have been doing.
109.They say, making a firm promise on Allah, “We will believe if miracle comes to us?. You say that miracles are only with Allah. How do you know, “They will not believe when that happens?”
110. We will turn their minds and sights just as they had remained unbelieving in the beginning. We will leave them in their transgression to wander.
PART-8
111.Unless Allah wants they will not believe even if We sent down angels to them, the dead speak to them and gather together everything in front of their eyes. However most of them are ignorant.
112.And thus We made for every messenger, shaitans,312 from human-beings and jinns (as) enemies.5 Among them, they exchange to one another charming words. They would not have done this if their God had willed it. Leave them with which they invent.
113. (We have done this) to let the minds of those, who have not believed, to listen to that verse to let them accept that and to let them (continue) in what they have been doing.
114.Will (I) seek as a judge, anyother except Allah? It is He who sent down this Book as an explanation to you. To those, whom we have given the Book (O Muhammad), will know, “This has been sent to you certainly truth from your God. So, you do not become a doubter.
115. Your God’s words is filled with truth and justice. Nobody is there to change His words155. He is hearing, knowing.
116. (O Muhammad),if you obey most of the people on the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow only assumption. They do nothing but assume.
117.Your God is knowing well, “Who has strayed from His way?” He is also knowing well who has got the right way.
118.If you believe in Allah’s verses then you eat of (that meat) on which God’s name is mentioned171.
119.What had happened to ignore you that you refrain from eating on which Allah’s name was said? He has made it clear to you, what he has forbidden except that when you are compelled42&431. And indeed, most people ignorantly were led astray, through their desires. Indeed, Allah is knowing those who exceed the limit.
120. And leave the sins which are open and secret. Indeed, those who have committed sins will be punished for having committed the sins.
121. Do not eat that on which Allah’s name is not said171. For indeed, that is a wrong. Shaitans tell their companions to argue with you. If you obey them then, indeed, you will be associator (of others with God).
122. After giving life to the one who was dead, having arranged for him light to walk among the people, will he become the one who was not able to get out from the depth of darkness429 in which he lay trapped? Thus, for the disbelievers (of God) what they have been doing was made attractive.
123.Thus, in every town we have made the criminals of that town, plotters. They plot only against themselves. They will not understand.
124. When any sign comes to them, they say, “Until we are given as it was given to the messengers of Allah we will never believe”. Allah is knowing well of, Where to place His message? (And whom to give?). Those who had been doing wrongs will get humiliation and severe suffering due to the plot they have made.
125.If Allah wants to show the right way to one then he makes his mind expands for Islam. If He wants to lead him astray then, he tightens his mind as that of one who has been climbing into the heaven172. Thus Allah gives suffering to the disbelievers.
126. And this is only your God’s right way. We have made the signs clear to the community which reflected.
127.For them there is a house of peace with their God. He will be their guardian for what they have been doing.
128.On the Day1 when He gathers them together, (He will say), “O community of Jinn, you have misled a lot of mankind”. For that, their friends among the mankind will say, “Our God, some of us were benefited by the others and we have reached the time fixed by You”. (He will say), “Your place of rest is only hell. You will remain there forever. Except for what Allah wants. Indeed, your God is Wise, Knowing”.
129. Thus, we will make some of them friends of others because of the deeds of those who have caused injustice.
130.(God will ask)“O community of jinns and the mankind, did not messengers from among yourselves come to you, to convey My verses to you and warn you about the Day1 which you will meet”? And they will say, “We give witness against ourselves ”. This worldly life has enticed them. They will give witness against themselves, “We have been, indeed, disbelievers (of only one God)”.
131.The reason for sending the messengers is that God will not destroy the town for their injustice (done) when they are in the state of absent mindedness.
132.There are many degrees for everyone according to what they have done. Your God is not unaware of what they do.
133.Your God is free485 from need and kind. As He has created you from the descendants46 of other community, if He wants He can do away with you and can bring, whoever he wants after you in your place.
134.Indeed, whatever you have been warned certainly will reach you. You are not the people to get success.
135.You will understand, “O my community, You act in your way. I will also act in (My way). To whom will the end of the world be favourabale? Indeed, those who have caused injustice will not be successful.”
136.In the plants and cattle produced by Allah they allot a share for Him. They themselves assume and say, “This belongs to Allah. This belongs to our gods.” But (they say), that which belongs to their gods will not reach Allah. (They also say), that which belongs to Allah will reach their gods. The judgement they give is very bad.
137.Thus, their gods by showing the killing of children as good (acts) to most of those who associate partners to God, destroyed them and created confusion in their religion. If Allah had wanted they would not have done this. Leave them with their invention.
138.They assume themselves and say, “These are forbidden cattle and plants. Except whom we want (others) cannot eat.” They invent and say that riding in certain cattle is forbidden and in certain cattle they will not mention Allah’s name. He will punish them because they have been inventing.
139. And they also say, “That is in the womb of the cattle belongs only to the men and are forbidden for the women. If they are born dead then all of them are partners.” Indeed, He will punish them for such talk. Indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.
140.Those who have killed their children487 due to ignorance and foolishness and those who by inventing made forbidden that which Allah gave have incurred loss, gone astray and did not get the right way.
141. And it is He who created the gardens espaliered and un-espaliered, date-palms, different food-grains, pomegranate and olive trees which are similar in (shape) and different in taste. Eat the fruit when they give yield. On the day of the harvest(give) fulfil the duty of paying(Zakath) its due. Do not be extravagant. Indeed, Allah will not love those who are extravagant.
142.(He created) among the cattle (some) carrying burden and (others) not carrying. You eat from what Allah has provided. Do not follow the foot steps of Shaitan. Indeed, He is your open enemy.
143. And ask, “There are ten types (among the sacrificial animals). Two in sheep (male and female), two in goats (male and female). (Among them) Has God forbidden the male animals, or female animals,or in the wombs of the female animals? If you should be truthful explain to me with knowledge.”
144.And ask, “There are two in camel and two in the cattle. Has He forbidden the male animals among them or female animals or that which in the wombs of the females? Were you witnesses when Allah told you these?” Who has done greater injustice to them, than the one who is in order to lead people astray invented lie in the name of Allah without knowledge. Indeed, Allah will not show the right way to those who have caused injustice.
145.Say, “(Something) died by itself, running blood, flesh of unclean swine and the sinful (food) slaughtered for others than Allah, except these, I do not find any other thing forbidden to eat for the man in what has been revealed to me42.” If anybody, is compelled, neither exceeding the limit nor going voluntarily, then indeed, your God is Forgiving and Merciful17&431.
146. And We had forbidden to the Jews every thing (animal),which has no gap between its claws and the hoofs. We have forbidden among the fat of sheep and oxen, except that which their backs and intestines carried or mixed with their bones. We punished them for having caused injustice. And indeed, We tell the truth.
147.(O Muhammad),if they consider you a liar, say, “Your God is a possessor of vast mercy. (Still) for the guilty people His punishment will not be prevented” .
148. Those who have associated others to Allah, say, “If Allah had wanted we and our fore-fathers would not have associated others to Allah. We would not have made anything forbidden (to ourselves).” Thus those who had gone before also considered it to be a lie. Finally, they tasted Our punishment. And say, “Do you have any information (about it)? (if you have) show that to us. You follow only assumptions. You do nothing but guessing. ”
149. And say, “The whole evidence belongs only to Allah.” If He had wanted, He would have shown the right way to all of you.
150.And ask, “Bring (forward) your witnesses who will testify that only Allah forbade this.” If they give witness (falsely) you do not join and give witness along with them. Do not follow the whims of those who consider Our verses lies and do not believe in the Here-after. They associate (others) to their God.
151.Say (O Muhammad), “Come, I tell you what Allah has forbidden you.” That is, “You should not associate anything to Allah.” Help your parents. Do not kill your children487 because of poverty. It is We who give food to them and to you463. Do not approach shameful deeds that which are open and hidden. Do not kill anyone unless you have the right (for it) as it has been forbidden by Allah. Allah emphasized this for you to understand.
152.And do not approach the wealth of the orphan till he becomes matured, except in the best manner. Fulfil measure and weight with honesty. We will not trouble whoever beyond his capacity68 . When you speak, speak only justice even if he is your relative. Fullfil Allah’s promise. He emphasized this so that you may learn.
153.This is My right way. So, only follow this. Do not follow many ways. They will deviate you from the (right) way. He emphasized this to you so that you will fear(God).
154.Then, We gave Musa the Book that they believe in the meeting with their God.488 That has been a fulfilment of good for those who have done good, explaining of everything, and the right way and blessing.
155.This is the blessed Book which We revealed. So, follow this. Fear (Us) and you will be given Mercy.
156.,157.(We revealed this Book) so that you should not say, “Before us the Book was revealed only to two communities. We were not able to read that and if the Book had been revealed to us then we would have been better guided than them.” For you, from your God have come clean signs, the right way and mercy. Who has done injustice than the one who has rejected Allah’s verses considering lies. We will give them severe punishment26, for those who have rejected our verses, because they have been rejecting.
158.Do they only expect (O Muhammad) the arrival of the angels to them153 or the arrival of your God61 or the arrival of a few signs of the God? The day on which a few signs of your God come to you, except those who have already believed and those who did good deeds with belief, (for others) their belief will not give benefit to anybody384.
159.Say, “Indeed you wait. We are also waiting.” You have no association (O Muhammad) with those who divided their religion and have become many groups. Their case is only with God. Then, He will inform them of what they have been doing.
160. Those who do good will get like that (reward) ten times over. Those who have done wrong will be punished only to the level of wrong (they committed). They will not be caused injustice.
161. And say, “Indeed, My god has shown me the right way. It is the right religion. It is Ibrahim’s religion who stood with truth. He was not of those who associated (others to God).”
162.,163. And say 26, “My prayer, my devotion, my life and my death all belongs to Allah, the God of the universe. Nobody is equal to Allah. I have been ordered like this. I am the first among the muslims295.”
164.And say, “Will I consider those other than Allah as God? It is He who is God of everything. Those who do wrong only earn against themselves. One will not bear the burden of the others265. Then your return is only to your Allah. He will inform you about which you differed.”
165. It is He who made you successors46 in the earth. He increased degrees of some over the others, among you, to test484 you in what He has given you. Indeed, He is a quick punisher; He is Forgiving and Merciful.
