2-80or you say of Allah (SWT) what you know not?”أَمْ تَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَى اللهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ
and when it is said to them “Believe in what Allah has sent down”وَإِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ ءَامِنُوْا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ
they say, “We believe in what was sent down to us” and they disbelieve in what is beside itقَالُوْا نُؤْمِنُ بِمَآ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُ
though it is the truth confirming that which is with themوَهُوَ الحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ
2-91Say “Why then have you killed the prophets of Allah (SWT) aforetime”قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُوْنَ أَنْبِيَآءَ اللهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ
and when We took your covenant, and We raised above you the Mountوَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّوْرَ
“Take what We have given you with firmness and listen”خُذُوْا مَآ ءَاتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُوْا

2-111These are their own wishful thinking, say “Bring your proof if you be truthful”تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِيْنَ
Never will the Jews be pleased with you nor the Christians till you follow their religionوَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ اليَهُوْدُ وَلَا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ
Say indeed, the guidance of Allah (SWT), it is the guidanceقُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللهِ هُوَ الهُدى
 and if you follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledgeوَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَآءَكَ مِنَ العِلْمِ 
2-120there will be no friend or helper for you against Allah (SWT)مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيْرٍ 
 And they say: “Be Jews or Christians then you will be guided”وَقَالُوْا كُوْنُوْا هُوْدًا أَوْ نَصَارَى تَهْتَدُوْا 
2-135Say “nay the religion of Ebrahim (AS) is upright and he was not of the polytheistsقُلْ بَل مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ حَنِيْفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ المُشْرِكِيْنَ 
 Say “Do you argue with us regarding Allah (SWT) while He is our Lord and your Lord?قُلْ أَتُحَآجُّوْنَنَا فِي اللهِ وَهُوَ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ 
2-139So, for us our deeds and for you your deeds and we are sincere to Himوَلَنَآ أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُخْلِصُوْنَ 
 Do you say that Ebrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS) and Ishaq (AS) and Yaqub (AS)أَمْ تَقُوْلُوْنَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيْلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ 
 and the descendants were Jews or Christians?وَالأَسْبَاطَ كَانُوْا هُوْدًا أَوْ نَصَارَى 
 Say “Are you more knowledgeable or is Allah (SWT)?”قُلْ ءَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ أَمِ اللهُ 
 who is more unjust than who conceals a testimony he has from Allah (SWT)?وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَتَمَ شَهَادَةً عِنْدَهُ مِنَ اللهِ 
2-140and Allah (SWT) is not unaware of what you doوَمَا اللهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ 
 The fools among the people will say,سَيَقُوْلُ السُّفَهَآءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ 
 “What has turned them from their prayer direction which they used to face”مَا وَلَّاهُمْ عَنْ قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوْا عَلَيْهَا 
 Say “To Allah (SWT) belongs the east and the westقُلْ لِلَّهِ المَشْرِقُ وَالمَغْرِبُ 
2-142He guides whom He wills to the Straight Path”يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَآءُ إِلَي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ 
 They ask you about the new moons, say these are indicators of periods for the peopleيَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الأَهِلَّةِ قُلْ هِيَ مَوَاقِيْتُ لِلنَّاسِ 
 and the pilgrimage and it is not piety to enter the houses from the backوَالحَجِّ وَلَيْسَ البِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوْا البُيُوْتَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهَا 
 but piety is who fears (Allah SWT) so, enter the houses through their proper doorsوَلَاكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَى وَأْتُوْا البُيُوْتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا
2-189and be mindful of Allah (SWT) so that you may be successfulوَاتَّقٌوْا اللهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ 
 They ask you, what they should spend? Say whatever you spend of goodيَسْئَلُوْنَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ قُلْ مَآ أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِّنْ خَيْرٍ 
 must be for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the one who asksفَلِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِيْنَ وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِ 
2-215and whatever you do of good truly Allah (SWT) knows it wellوَمَا تَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ اللهَ بِهِ عَلِيْمٌ 
They ask you about the sacred month, fighting in itيَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِيْهِ
Say, “fighting therein is great (sin) but hindering from the way of Allah (SWT) and disbelief in Himقُلْ قِتَالٌ فِيْهِ كَبِيْرٌ وَصَدٌّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ وَكُفْرٌ بِهِ
and the sacred mosque and driving out its people from it is greater with Allah (SWT)وَالمَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِ مِنْهُ أَكْبَرُ عِنْدَ اللهِ
and oppression is greater than killing” and not they will cease to fight youوَالفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ القَتْلِ وَلَا يَزَالُوْنَ يُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ
until they turn you away from your religion if they are ableحَتَّى يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَنْ دِيْنِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا
and whoever turn away from among you from his religion then dies while he is a disbelieverوَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِيْنِهِ فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ
for those, their deeds become worthless in the world and the hereafterفَأُوْلَآئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ
2-217and those are the companions of the fire, they will abide in it foreverوَأُوْلَآئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيْهَا خَالِدُوْنَ
They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance say, “in both of them is a great sinيَسْئَلُنَكَ عَنِ الخَمْرِ وَالمَيْسِرِ قُلْ فِيْهِمَآ إِثْمٌ كَبِيْرٌ
and some benefits for the people but the sin of both of them is greater than the benefit of both”وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَآ أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمَا
and they ask you about what they should spend say, “the surplus”وَيَسْئَلُوْنَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُوْنَ قُلِ العَفْوَ
2-219thus Allah (SWT) makes clear to you the verses so that you may ponder (reflect)كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ
concerning the world and the hereafter and they ask you about the orphansفِى الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَيَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ اليَتَامَى
say, “setting right for them is good and if you associate with them then they are your brothersقُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوْهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ
and Allah (SWT) knows the corrupter from the amender and if Allah (SWT) willedوَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ المُفْسِدَ مِنَ المُصْلِحِ وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللهُ
2-220surely, He could have put you in difficulties truly, Allah (SWT) is All-Mighty, All-Wiseلَأَعْنَتَكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ
and they ask you about the menstruation say, “it is a hurt so keep away from the womenوَيَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ المَحِيْضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَآءَ
during the menstruation and do not approach them until they are pure then when they are purifiedفِي المَحِيْضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ
then come to them from where Allah (SWT) has ordered you”فَأْتُوْهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ
2-222indeed, Allah (SWT) loves the ones who turn in repentance, and He loves those who purify themselvesإِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَيُحِبُّ المُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ
3-12say, to those who disbelieve, “you will be defeated, and you will be gathered to Hell, an evil resting place”قُل لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُوْنَ وَتُحْشَرُوْنَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ المِهَادُ
Say, “shall I inform you of better than those? for those who feared (mindful and conscious of Allah SWT)قُلْ أَؤُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ مِّن ذَلِكُمْ لِلَّذِيْنَ اتَّقُوا
gardens with their Lord, rivers flowing under it, abiding forever in itعِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا
3-15and pure spouses and approval from Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) is All-Seeing of the worshipper”وَأَزْوَاجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ وَرِضْوَانٌ مِّنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ بَصِيْرٌ بِالعِبَادِ
so, if they argue (dispute) with you say, “I have submitted myself to Allah (SWT) and whoever follows me”فَإِنْ حَاجُّوْكَ فَقُلْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِ
and say to those who were given the book and the unlettered, “do you submit?”وَقُل لِلَّذِيْنَ أُوْتُوا الكِتَابَ وَالأُمِّيِّيْنَ ءَأَسْلَمْتُمْ
then if they submit then they are surely guided and if they turn away (back) then only on you is to deliver (convey)فَإِنْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوا وَّإِنْ تَوَلَّوا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ البَلَاغُ
3-20and Allah (SWT) is All-Seer of His slavesوَاللهُ بَصِيْرٌ بِالعِبَادِ
3-261 
Say, “If you conceal what is in your breasts or you reveal it Allah (SWT) knows itقُلْ إِنْ تُخْفُوا مَا فِي صُدُوْرِكُمْ أَوْ تُبْدُوْهُ يَعْلَمْهُ اللهُ
and He knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earthوَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ
3-29and Allah (SWT) is over everything, All-Powerful”وَاللهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
Say, “If you were to love Allah (SWT) then follow me Allah (SWT) will love you and forgive for you your sins”قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ
3-31and Allah (SWT) is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Mercifulوَاللهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
