सूरा-अल-माइदा
| मदीना कालीन | आयत 120|
अल्लाह के नाम से जो बहुत मेहरबान, रहम करने वाला है।
ऐ ईमान वालो! अपने अहद पूरे करो, तुम्हारे लिए चौपाए मवेशी हलाल किए गए सिवाए उन के जो तुम्हें सुनाए जाएंगे, मगर शिकार को हलाल न जानो जबकि तुम (हालते) एहराम में हो, बेशक अल्लाह जो चाहे हुक्म करता है। (1)
ऐ ईमान वालो! शआएर अल्लाह (अल्लाह की निशानियां) हलाल न समझो और न अदब वाले महीने (जुलकअदह, जुलहिज्जह, मोहर्रम, रज्जब) और न नियाजे कअबा (के जानवर) और न गले में (कुरबानी के) पट्टा डाले हुए, और न आने वाले खाने कअबा को जो अपने रब का फज्ल और खुशनूदी चाहते हैं। और जब एहराम खोलदो (चाहो) तो शिकार करलो, और (उस) कौम की दुश्मनी जो तुम को रोकती थी मस्जिदे हराम (खाने कअबा) से (उस का) बाइस न बने कि तुम जियादती करो। और एक दूसरे की मदद करो नेकी और परहेजगारी में, और एक दूसरे की मदद न करो गुनाह और सरकशी में, और अल्लाह से डरो, बेशक अल्लाह का अजाब सख्त है। (2)
***
5. THE TABLE
1. O you who believe! Fulfill your
commitments. Livestock animals are permitted for you, except those specified to
you; but not wild game while you are in pilgrim sanctity. God decrees whatever
He wills.
2. O you who believe! Do not violate
God’s sacraments, nor the Sacred Month, nor the offerings, nor the garlanded,
nor those heading for the Sacred House seeking blessings from their Lord and
approval. When you have left the pilgrim sanctity, you may hunt. And let not
the hatred of people who barred you from the Sacred Mosque incite you to
aggression. And cooperate with one another in virtuous conduct and conscience,
and do not cooperate with one another in sin and hostility. And fear God. God
is severe in punishment.
3. Prohibited for you are carrion, blood,
the flesh of swine, and animals dedicated to other than God; also the flesh of
animals strangled, killed violently, killed by a fall, gored to death, mangled
by wild animals— except what you rescue, and animals sacrificed on altars; and
the practice of drawing lots. For it is immoral. Today, those who disbelieve
have despaired of your religion, so do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have
perfected your religion for you, and have completed My favor upon you, and have
approved Islam as a religion for you. But whoever is compelled by hunger, with
no intent of wrongdoing— God is Forgiving and Merciful.
4. They ask you what is permitted for them.
Say, “Permitted for you are all good things, including what trained dogs and falcons
catch for you.” You train them according to what God has taught you. So eat
from what they catch for you, and pronounce God’s name over it. And fear God.
God is Swift in reckoning.
5. Today all good things are made
lawful for you. And the food of those given the Scripture is lawful for you,
and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste believing women, and chaste
women from the people who were given the Scripture before you, provided you
give them their dowries, and take them in marriage, not in adultery, nor as
mistresses. But whoever rejects faith, his work will be in vain, and in the
Hereafter he will be among the losers.
6. O you who believe! When you rise to
pray, wash your faces, and your hands and arms to the elbows, and wipe your
heads, and your feet to the ankles. If you had intercourse, then purify
yourselves. If you are ill, or travelling, or one of you returns from the
toilet, or you had contact with women, and could not find water, then use some
clean sand and wipe your faces and hands with it. God does not intend to burden
you, but He intends to purify you, and to complete His blessing upon you, that
you may be thankful.
7. And Remember God’s blessings upon you,
and His covenant which He covenanted with you, when you said, “We hear and we
obey.” And remain conscious of God, for God knows what the hearts contain.
8. O you who believe! Be upright to
God, witnessing with justice, and let not the hatred of a certain people
prevent you from acting justly. Adhere to justice, for that is nearer to piety,
and fear God. God is informed of what you do.
9. God has promised those who believe and
work righteousness: they will have forgiveness and a great reward.
10. As for those who disbelieve and
reject Our revelations—these are the inmates of Hell.
11. O you who believe! Remember God's blessings
upon you; when certain people intended to extend their hands against you, and
He restrained their hands from you. So reverence God, and in God let the believers
put their trust.
12. God received a pledge from the
Children of Israel, and We raised among them twelve chiefs. God said, “I am
with you; if you perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and believe in My
messengers and support them, and lend God a loan of righteousness, I will remit
your sins, and admit you into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever
among you disbelieves afterwards— he has strayed from the right way.”
13. Because of their breaking their pledge, We cursed them, and made their hearts hard. They twist the words out of their context, and they disregarded some of what they were reminded of. You will always witness deceit from them, except for a few of them. But pardon them, and overlook. God loves the doers of good.
14. And from those who say, “We are Christians,”
We received their pledge, but they neglected some of what they were reminded
of. So We provoked enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Resurrection; God
will then inform them of what they used to craft.
15. O People of the Book! Our
Messenger has come to you, clarifying for you much of what you kept hidden of
the Book, and overlooking much. A light from God has come to you, and a clear
Book.
16. God guides with it whoever follows
His approval to the ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness into
light, by His permission, and He guides them in a straight path.
17. They disbelieve those who say,
“God is the Christ, the son of Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent God, if He willed,
from annihilating the Christ son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on
earth?” To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is
between them. He creates whatever He wills, and God has power over everything.
18. The Jews and the Christians say,
“We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then does He punish
you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He created. He
forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God belongs the
dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them, and to Him is
the return.
19. O People of the Book! Our
Messenger has come to you, making things clear to you—after a cessation of
messengers—so that you cannot say, “No preacher has come to us, and no warner.”
In fact, a preacher has come to you, and a warner, and God is Capable of
everything.
20. When Moses said to his people, “O my people, remember God’s blessings upon you, when He placed prophets among you, and made you kings, and gave you what He never gave any other people.”
21. “O my people, enter the Holy Land which
God has assigned for you, and do not turn back, lest you return as losers.”
22. They said, “O Moses, there are
tyrannical people in it; we will not enter it until they leave it. If they
leave it, we will be entering.”
23. Two men of those who feared, but whom
God had blessed, said, “Go at them by the gate; and when you have entered it, you
will prevail. But put your trust in God, if you are believers.”
24. They said, “O Moses, we will not
enter it, ever, as long as they are in it. So go ahead, you and your Lord, and
fight. We are staying right here.”
25. He said, “My Lord, I have control
only over myself and my brother, so separate between us and between the wicked
people.”
26. He said, “It is forbidden for them
for forty years. They will wander aimlessly in the land. So do not grieve over
the defiant people.”
27. And relate to them the true story
of Adam's two sons, when they offered an offering, and it was accepted from one
of them, but it was not accepted from the other. He Said, “I will kill you.” He
Said, “God accepts only from the righteous.”
28. “If you extend your hand to kill
me, I will not extend my hand to kill you; for I fear God, Lord of the Worlds.
29. “I would rather you bear my sin
and your sin, and you become among the inmates of the Fire. Such is the reward
for the evildoers.”
30. Then His soul prompted him to kill
his brother, so he killed him, and became one of the losers.
31. Then God sent a raven digging the ground,
to show him how to cover his brother's corpse. He said, “Woe to me, I am unable
to be like this raven, and bury my brother's corpse.” So he became full of regrets.
32. Because of that We ordained for
the Children of Israel—that whoever kills a person—unless it is for murder or
corruption on earth—it is as if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever
saves a person, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind. Our messengers came
to them with clarifications, but even after that, many of them continue to
commit excesses in the land.
33. The punishment for those who fight
God and His messenger, and strive to spread corruption on earth, is that they
be killed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite
sides, or be banished from the land. That is to disgrace them in this life; and
in the Hereafter they will have a terrible punishment.
34. Except for those who repent before
you apprehend them. So know that God is Forgiving and Merciful.
35. O you who believe! Be conscious of
God, and seek the means of approach to Him, and strive in His cause, so that
you may succeed.
36. As for those who disbelieve, even
if they owned everything on earth, and the like of it with it, and they offered
it to ransom themselves from the torment of the Day of Resurrection, it will
not be accepted from them. For them is a painful punishment.
37. They will want to leave the Fire,
but they will not leave it. For them is a lasting punishment.
38. As for the thief, whether male or
female, cut their hands as a penalty for what they reaped—a deterrent from God.
God is Mighty and Wise.
39. But whoever repents after his
crime, and reforms, God will accept his repentance. God is Forgiving and
Merciful.
40. Do you not know that to God
belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He wills,
and He forgives whom He wills. And God is Capable of everything.
41. O Messenger! Do not let those who
are quick to disbelief grieve you—from among those who say with their mouths,
“We believe,” but their hearts do not believe; and from among the
Jews—listeners to lies, listeners to other people who did not come to you. They
distort words from their places, and say, “If you are given this, accept it;
but if you are not given it, beware.” Whomever God has willed to divert, you
have nothing for him from God. Those are they whose hearts God does not intend
to purify. For them is disgrace in this world, and for them is a great
punishment in the Hereafter.
42. Listeners to falsehoods, eaters of
illicit earnings. If they come to you, judge between them, or turn away from
them. If you turn away from them, they will not harm you in the least. But if
you judge, judge between them equitably. God loves the equitable.
43. But why do they come to you for
judgment, when they have the Torah, in which is God’s Law? Yet they turn away
after that. These are not believers.
44. We have revealed the Torah,
wherein is guidance and light. The submissive prophets ruled the Jews according
to it, so did the rabbis and the scholars, as they were required to protect
God’s Book, and were witnesses to it. So do not fear people, but fear Me. And
do not sell My revelations for a cheap price. Those who do not rule according
to what God revealed are the unbelievers.
45. And We wrote for them in it: a
life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a
tooth for a tooth, and an equal wound for a wound. But whoever forgoes it in
charity, it will serve as atonement for him. Those who do not rule according to
what God revealed are the evildoers.
46. In their footsteps, We sent Jesus
son of Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded him; and We gave him the
Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah that preceded
him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous.
47. So let the people of the Gospel
rule according to what God revealed in it. Those who do not rule according to
what God revealed are the sinners.
48. And We revealed to you the Book,
with truth, confirming the Scripture that preceded it, and superseding it. So
judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their
desires if they differ from the truth that has come to you. For each of you, We
have assigned a law, and a method. Had God willed, He could have made you a
single nation, but He tests you through what He has given you. So compete in
righteousness. To God is your return, all of you. Then He will inform you of
what you had disputed.
49. And judge between them according
to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires. And beware of them, lest
they lure you away from some of what God has revealed to you. But if they turn away,
know that God intends to strike them with some of their sins. In fact, a great
many people are corrupt.
50. Is it the laws of the time of
ignorance that they desire? Who is better than God in judgment for a people who
are certain?
51. O you who believe! Do not take the
Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one another.
Whoever of you allies himself with them is one of them. God does not guide the
wrongdoing people.
52. You will see those in whose hearts
is sickness racing towards them. They say, “We fear the wheel of fate may turn against
us.” But perhaps God will bring about victory, or some event of His making; thereupon
they will regret what they concealed within themselves.
53. Those who believe will say, “Are
these the ones who swore by God with their strongest oaths that they are with
you?” Their works have failed, so they became losers.
54. O you who believe! Whoever of you goes
back on his religion—God will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him,
kind towards the believers, stern with the disbelievers. They strive in the way
of God, and do not fear the blame of the critic. That is the grace of God. He bestows
it upon whomever He wills. God is Embracing and Knowing.
55. Your allies are God, and His Messenger, and those who believe—those who pray regularly, and give charity, and bow down.
56. Whoever allies himself with God,
and His Messenger, and those who believe— surely the Party of God is the
victorious.
57. O you who believe! Do not befriend
those who take your religion in mockery and as a sport, be they from among
those who were given the Scripture before you, or the disbelievers. And obey
God, if you are believers.
58. When you call to the prayer, they
take it as a joke and a trifle. That is because they are people who do not
reason.
59. Say, “O People of the Scripture,
do you resent us only because we believe in God, and in what was revealed to
us, and in what was revealed previously; and most of you are sinners?”
60. Say, “Shall I inform you of worse
than that for retribution from God? He whom God has cursed, and with whom He
became angry. And He turned some of them into apes, and swine, and idol
worshipers. These are in a worse position, and further away from the right
way.”
61. When they come to you, they say,
“We believe,” though they have entered with disbelief, and they have departed
with it. But God is well aware of what they hide.
62. You see many of them competing
with one another in sin and hostility, and their consuming of what is illicit.
What they have been doing is truly evil.
63. Why do the rabbis and the priests
not prevent them from speaking sinfully and from consuming forbidden wealth?
Evil is what they have been doing.
64. The Jews say, “God’s hand is
tied.” It is their hands that are tied, and they are cursed for what they say.
In fact, His hands are outstretched; He gives as He wills. Certainly, what was
revealed to your from your Lord will increase many of them in defiance and
blasphemy. And We have placed between them enmity and hatred, until the Day of
Resurrection. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, God extinguishes it. And
they strive to spread corruption on earth. God does not love the corrupters.
65. Had the People of the Book
believed and been righteous, We would have remitted their sins, and admitted
them into the Gardens of Bliss.
66. Had they observed the Torah, and
the Gospel, and what was revealed to them from their Lord, they would have
consumed amply from above them, and from beneath their feet. Among them is a
moderate community, but evil is what many of them are doing.
67. O Messenger, convey what was
revealed to you from your Lord. But if you do not, then you would not have
delivered His message. And God will protect you from the people. God does not
guide the disbelieving people.
68. Say, “O People of the Scripture,
you have no basis until you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what is
revealed to you from your Lord.” But what is revealed to you from your Lord
will increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief, so do not be sorry for
the disbelieving people.
69. Those who believe, and the Jews,
and the Sabians, and the Christians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day,
and does what is right—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
70. We made a covenant with the
Children of Israel, and We sent to them messengers. Whenever a messenger came
to them with what their souls did not desire, some of them they accused of
lying, and others they put to death.
71. They assumed there would be no
punishment, so they turned blind and deaf. Then God redeemed them, but then
again many of them turned blind and deaf. But God is Seeing of what they do.
72. They disbelieve those who say,
“God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children
of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with
God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The
wrongdoers have no saviors.”
73. They disbelieve those who say,
“God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they
do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among
them who disbelieve.
74. Will they not repent to God and
ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful.
75. The Messiah son of Mary was only a
Messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a
woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the
revelations to them; then note how deluded they are.
76. Say, “Do you worship, besides God,
what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But God—He is the Hearer, the Knower.
77. Say, “O People of the Scripture,
do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth, and do not follow the
opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves
strayed off the balanced way.”
78. Cursed were those who disbelieved from
among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That
is because they rebelled and used to transgress.
79. They used not to prevent one
another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what they used to do.
80. You will see many of them
befriending those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their souls prompts them to
do. The wrath of God fell upon them, and in the torment they will remain.
81. Had they believed in God and the Prophet,
and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them. But many
of them are immoral.
82. You will find that the people most
hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And you will
find that the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who say, “We
are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are
not arrogant.
83. And when they hear what was
revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears, as they
recognize the truth in it. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so count us
among the witnesses.”
84. “And why should we not believe in God,
and in the truth that has come to us, and hope that our Lord will include us among
the righteous people?”
85. God will reward them for what they
say—Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will stay forever. Such is
the reward of the righteous.
86. But as for those who disbelieve
and deny Our signs—these are the inmates of the Fire.
87. O you who believe! Do not prohibit
the good things God has permitted for you, and do not commit aggression. God
does not love the aggressors.
88. And eat of the lawful and good
things God has provided for you, and be conscious of God, in whom you are
believers.
89. God does not hold you accountable
for your unintended oaths, but He holds you accountable for your binding oaths.
The atonement for it is by feeding ten needy people from the average of what
you feed your families, or by clothing them, or by freeing a slave. Anyone who
lacks the means shall fast for three days. That is the atonement for breaking
your oaths when you have sworn them. So keep your oaths. Thus God makes clear
His Revelations to you, that you may be grateful.
90. O you who believe! Intoxicants,
gambling, idolatry, and divination are abominations of Satan’s doing. Avoid
them, so that you may prosper.
91. Satan wants to provoke strife and
hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to prevent you from the remembrance
of God, and from prayer. Will you not desist?
92. Obey God and obey the Messenger,
and be cautious. If you turn away—know that the duty of Our Messenger is clear
communication.
93. Those who believe and do righteous
deeds will not be blamed for what they may have eaten, provided they obey, and believe,
and do good deeds, then maintain piety and faith, then remain righteous and charitable.
God loves the charitable.
94. O you who believe! God will test
you with something of the game your hands and spears obtain, that God may know who
fears Him at heart. Whoever commits aggression after that will have a painful punishment.
95. O you who believe! do not kill
game while you are in pilgrim sanctity. Whoever of you kills any intentionally,
its penalty shall be a domestic animal comparable to what he killed, as
determined by two honest persons among you—an offering delivered to the Kaabah.
Or he may atone by feeding the needy, or its equivalent in fasting, so that he
may taste the consequences of his conduct. God forgives what is past. But
whoever repeats, God will take revenge on him. God is Almighty, Avenger.
96. Permitted for you is the catch of
sea, and its food—as sustenance for you and for travelers. But forbidden for
you is the game of land while you are in pilgrim sanctity. And fear God, to
whom you will be gathered.
97. God has appointed the Kaabah, the Sacred
House, a sanctuary for the people, and the Sacred Month, and the offerings, and
the garlanded. That you may know that God knows everything in the heavens and
the earth, and that God is Cognizant of all things.
98. Know that God is severe in
retribution, and that God is Forgiving and Merciful.
99. The Messenger’s sole duty is to
convey. God knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
100. Say: “The bad and the good are
not equal, even though the abundance of the bad may impress you. So be
conscious of God, O you who possess intelligence, that you may succeed.”
101. O you who believe! Do not ask about things that would trouble you if disclosed to you. But if you were to ask about them while the Quran is being revealed, they will become obvious to you. God forgives that. God is Forgiving and Clement.
102. A people before you asked about
them, but then came to reject them.
103. God did not institute the
superstitions of Bahirah, Saibah, Wasilah, or of Hami; but the disbelievers
fabricate lies about God—most of them do not understand.
104. And when it is said to them,
“Come to what God has revealed, and to the Messenger,” they say, “Sufficient
for us is what we found our forefathers upon.” Even if their forefathers knew
nothing, and were not guided?
105. O you who believe! You are
responsible for your own souls. He who has strayed cannot harm you if you are
guided. To God is you return, all of you, and He will inform you of what you
used to do.
106. O you who believe! When death
approaches one of you, let two reliable persons from among you act as witnesses
to the making of a bequest, or two persons from another people if you are
travelling in the land and the event of death approaches you. Engage them after
the prayer; and if you have doubts, let them swear by God, “We will not sell
our testimony for any price, even if it was a near relative; nor will we hide
the testimony of God, for then we would be sinners.”
107. If it is discovered that they are
guilty of perjury: let two others take their place, two from among those
responsible for the claim, and have them swear by God, “Our testimony is more
truthful than their testimony, and we will not be biased, for then we would be
wrongdoers.”
108. That makes it more likely that
they will give true testimony, fearing that their oaths might be contradicted
by subsequent oaths. So fear God, and listen. God does not guide the
disobedient people.
109. On the Day when God will gather
the messengers, then say, “What response were you given?” They will say, “We
have no knowledge, it is you who are the Knower of the unseen.”
110. When God will say, “O Jesus son
of Mary, recall My favor upon you and upon your mother, how I supported you
with the Holy Spirit. You spoke to the people from the crib, and in maturity.
How I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And
recall that you molded from clay the shape of a bird, by My leave, and then you
breathed into it, and it became a bird, by My leave. And you healed the blind
and the leprous, by My leave; and you revived the dead, by My leave. And recall
that I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you brought them the
clear miracles. But those who disbelieved among them said, `This is nothing but
obvious sorcery.'“
111. “And when I inspired the
disciples: `Believe in Me and in My Messenger.' They said, `We have believed,
so bear witness that We have submitted.'“
112. “And when the disciples said, 'O
Jesus son of Mary, is your Lord able to bring down for us a feast from heaven?'
He said, 'Fear God, if you are believers.'“
113. They said, “We wish to eat from
it, so that our hearts may be reassured, and know that you have told us the
truth, and be among those who witness it.”
114. Jesus son of Mary said, “O God,
our Lord, send down for us a table from heaven, to be a festival for us, for
the first of us, and the last of us, and a sign from You; and provide for us,
You are the Best of providers.”
115. God said, “I will send it down to
you. But whoever among you disbelieves thereafter, I will punish him with a
punishment the like of which I never punish any other being.”
116. And God will say, “O Jesus son of
Mary, did you say to the people, `Take me and my mother as gods rather than
God?'“ He will say, “Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no
right to. Had I said it, You would have known it. You know what is in my soul,
and I do not know what is in your soul. You are the Knower of the hidden.
117. I only told them what You
commanded me: that you shall worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a
witness over them while I was among them, but when You took me to Yourself, you
became the Watcher over them; for You are Witness over everything.
118. If You punish them, they are Your
servants; but if You forgive them, You are the Mighty and Wise.”
119. God will say, “This is a Day when
the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness.” They will have Gardens
beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will remain forever. God is pleased
with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is the great attainment.
120. To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what lies in them, and He has power over everything.
