وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ مَالَ ٱلۡيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥۚ وَأَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۖ وَإِذَا قُلۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡدِلُواْ وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰۖ وَبِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡفُواْۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ 152

152        “(Sixthly) don’t touch the orphan’s property, except that it may be beneficial for the orphan, until he/she attains the age of maturity. (Seventhly) give full measure and full weight with justice. We don’t burden any person (with Our Commands) more than he can bear. (Hence they should obey the commands). (Eighthly) when you judge between people (or give evidence), uphold the truth even if a near relative is involved. (Ninthly) fulfil the promise of Allah. Allah commands this to you so that you may remember.

وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطِي مُسۡتَقِيمٗا فَٱتَّبِعُوهُۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلسُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمۡ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ 153

153        “And, indeed, these (above mentioned Allah’s commandments) lead to the Straight Path. Hence follow it. And don’t follow other paths since they will lead you away from Allah’s Path. Allah has commanded this to you so that you may be careful (not to get off the Right Path).

ثُمَّ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ تَمَامًا عَلَى ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡسَنَ وَتَفۡصِيلٗا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ لَّعَلَّهُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ 154

154        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)! We have not only sent you as messenger, We sent many messengers before you too] We gave Musa (peace be upon him )the Book to complete (Our favour) upon those who would do good deeds and to explain all things with full detail and as a guidance and a mercy so that they (Children of Israel) might believe in the meeting with their Creator.

وَهَٰذَا كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ مُبَارَكٞ فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ وَٱتَّقُواْ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ 155

155        And We have sent down this Book (the Quran) which is full of blessings. Hence, follow it and fear Allah so that (Allah’s) Mercy is showered on you.

أَن تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ عَلَىٰ طَآئِفَتَيۡنِ مِن قَبۡلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِهِمۡ لَغَٰفِلِينَ 156

156        (We have also sent down the Quran) lest you say: “Indeed the Book was sent down only to two groups before us (Jews and Christians), and we were unaware of their teachings and training.” (Hence we had no idea about the Oneness of Allah)

أَوۡ تَقُولُواْ لَوۡ أَنَّآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ لَكُنَّآ أَهۡدَىٰ مِنۡهُمۡۚ فَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بَيِّنَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٞۚ فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَّبَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنۡهَاۗ سَنَجۡزِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَصۡدِفُونَ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصۡدِفُونَ 157

157        Or (lest) you say: “If a Book had been sent down to us, we would surely have been better guided than them (Jews and Christians). (Bear in mind, now you have no excuse left since) a clear proof (the Quran) has come to you from your Creator which is (a means of) guidance, and is a mercy (of your Creator). Hence, who will be more unjust than one who rejects Allah’s revelations and hinders others (to accept them)? So We shall inflict an evil torment on those who hinder Our revelations due to their hindrance. (Just rejection of Verses was enough for punishment, but due to hindering others, the punishment is intensified).

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَ بَعۡضُ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكَۗ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِي بَعۡضُ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنفَعُ نَفۡسًا إِيمَٰنُهَا لَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَامَنَتۡ مِن قَبۡلُ أَوۡ كَسَبَتۡ فِيٓ إِيمَٰنِهَا خَيۡرٗاۗ قُلِ ٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ 158

158        Are they waiting that the angels should come to them, or your Creator should come, or that some of the signs of your Creator should come (e.g. rising of the sun from the west etc). The Day when some of the signs of your Creator come, the belief of the person will not benefit him unless he had believed before or he had performed good deeds with his belief beforehand. Say: “You wait, we are waiting too.”

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمۡ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعٗا لَّسۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ فِي شَيۡءٍۚ إِنَّمَآ أَمۡرُهُمۡ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ 159

159        Indeed, those who split their religion (while they were supposed to be guardian of it) and created many sects, [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] you have nothing to do with them. Their affair (and fate) is with Allah, Who will then tell them what they used to do.

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشۡرُ أَمۡثَالِهَاۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجۡزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثۡلَهَا وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ 160

160        Whoever performs a good deed, he will be rewarded tenfold, and whoever commits an evil deed will be punished for one evil deed only, and they will not be wronged (e.g. a good deed is not recorded or a bad deed is exaggerated).

قُلۡ إِنَّنِي هَدَىٰنِي رَبِّيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ دِينٗا قِيَمٗا مِّلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفٗاۚ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ 161

161        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “Indeed, My Creator has guided me (through revelations) to the Straight Path, a strong and upright religion, of Ibrahim (pbuh), who worshipped Allah Alone, and he was not from those who ascribed partners in worship with Allah.

قُلۡ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحۡيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 162

162        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “Indeed, my Salat, my all worship, my life and my death is for Allah, the Creator of the universe (This, in fact, is the summary of the teachings of Islam).

لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُۥۖ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرۡتُ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ 163

163        “He has no partner, and I have been commanded this (to follow this religion), and I am the first to submit as a Muslim.”

قُلۡ أَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ أَبۡغِي رَبّٗا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖۚ وَلَا تَكۡسِبُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ إِلَّا عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُم مَّرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ 164

164        Say: “Shall I seek a Creator other than Allah, while He is the Creator of all things? And whatever a person does, he is treated accord-ingly. Nobody will bear other’s bur-den. Then you will return to your Creator. He will inform you about your differences in various matters (and the decision will be made).

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَكُمۡ خَلَٰٓئِفَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٖ دَرَجَٰتٖ لِّيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ فِي مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمۡۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ 165

165        And it is Allah who made you His caliph in this world (i.e. made you the ruler and bestowed upon you the power and authority or made you inherit each other), and raised level of one over the other (in various ways) so that He may test you about the various favours He has bestowed upon you. Indeed, your Creator is Swift in punishment and, indeed, He is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

1        Alif-Lam-Mim-Sad (Only Allah knows the meanings of these letters).

كِتَٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ فَلَا يَكُن فِي صَدۡرِكَ حَرَجٞ مِّنۡهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ 2

2        This Book (the Quran) is sent down to you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!], so you should warn people with it, and do not feel heaviness in your heart (for the disobedience of the people) and it is a reminder for the believers.

ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۗ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ 3

3        You should follow what is sent down from your Creator and don’t follow any (false) protectors besides Him. You people accept very little advice!

وَكَم مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأۡسُنَا بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ هُمۡ قَآئِلُونَ 4

4        And (look)! How many com-munities (of the past) We have destroyed (due to their crimes)? Our torment came to them (suddenly) at night or while they were taking rest at noon.

فَمَا كَانَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ إِذۡ جَآءَهُم بَأۡسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ 5

5        So when Our torment came upon them, they could not help confessing: “Indeed, we are the wrong-doers.” (i.e. they confessed, but confession at that time is not acceptable).

فَلَنَسۡ‍َٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَنَسۡ‍َٔلَنَّ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ 6

6        (That was punishment in this world, and in the Hereafter there will be more painful torment) so We shall certainly question those people to whom the messengers (or Books) were sent and We shall surely question the messengers also (about conveying the message and the response of their people).
