| The path of those You have bestowed Your Grace | صِرَاطَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنْعَمَتَ عَلَيْهِمْ | |
| 1-7 | not of those who have earned Your Anger nor of those who are astray | غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوْبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا الضَّالِّيْنَ |
| Those are who purchased error with guidance | أُوْلَائِكَ الَّذِيْنَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدَى | |
| 2-16 | so, their commerce was profitless as they were not guided | فَمَا رَبِحَتْ تِجَارَةُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوْا مُهْتَدِيْنَ |
| Verily Allah is not averse to set forth a parable of a gnat or what is more than it | إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوْضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا | |
| and as for those who believe they know that it is the Truth from their Lord | فَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوْا فَيَعْلَمُوْنَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ | |
| however as for those who disbelieve they say “What did Allah intend by this parable?” | وَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهَاذَا مَثَلًا | |
| 2-26 | By it He misleads many and by it He guides many and He does not mislead by it but the rebellious | يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيْرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيْرًا وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلَّا الْفَاسِقِيْنَ |
| Or do you wish to ask your Messenger as Musa (AS) was asked before | أَمْ تُرِيْدُوْنَ أَنْ تَسْئَلُوْا رَسُوْلَكُمْ كَمَا سُئِلَ مُوْسَى مِنْ قَبْلُ | |
| 2-108 | so, who changes faith for disbelieve has truly strayed from the even way | وَمَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ الكُفْرَ بِالإِيْمَانِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِيْلِ |
| Those are they who purchased misguidance at the cost of guidance | أُوْلَآئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالهُدَى | |
| 2-175 | and punishment at the cost of forgiveness, how persistent are they in pursuit of the fire | وَالعَذَابَ بِالمَغْفِرَةِ فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَارِ |
| There is no sin on you that you seek the bounty from your Lord | لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ | |
| so, when you depart from Arafat remember Allah (SWT) near the sacred monument (Muzdalifah) | فَإِذَآ أَفَضْتُمْ مِّنْ عَرَفَاتٍ فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ عِنْدَ المَشْعَرِ الحَرَامِ | |
| 2-198 | and remember Him as He has guided you seeing that you were before of those who were not guided | وَاذْكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدَاكُمْ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِهِ لَمِنَ الضَّآلِّيْنَ |
| O you who believe! when you contract with one another any debt for a fixed term | يَآ أَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا إِذَا تَدَايَنْتُم بِدَيْنٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمَّى | |
| then write it and let a writer (scribe) write between you in justice | فَاكْتُبُوْهُ وَلْيَكْتُب بَّيْنَكُمْ كَاتِبٌ بِالعَدْلِ | |
| and the writer must not refuse to write as Allah (SWT) taught him so, let him write | وَلَا يَأْبَ كَاتِبٌ أَن يَكْتَبَ كَمَا عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ فَلْيَكْتُبْ | |
| and let who incurs the liability dictate and he must fear Allah (SWT) his Lord | وَلْيُمْلِلِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الحَقُّ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللهَ رَبَّهُ | |
| and diminish not from it anything but if is who on him is the debt | وَلَا يَبْخَسْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الحَقُّ | |
| poor in understanding or weak or unable to dictate for himself | سَفِيْهًا أَوْ ضَعِيْفًا أَوْ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُ أَنْ يُمِلَّ هُوَ | |
| then let his guardian dictate in justice and witness with two witnesses from your men | فَلْيُمْلِلْ وَلِيُّهُ بِالعَدْلِ وَاسْتَشْهِدُوا شَهِيْدَيْنِ مِن رِّجَالِكُمْ | |
| and if there are not two men then a man and two women from what you are pleased | فَإِن لَّمْ يَكُوْنَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَتَانِ مِمَّن تَرْضَوْنَ | |
| from witnessing, if one of them errs then the other of the two can remind her | مِنَ الشُّهَدَآءِ أَنْ تَضِلَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَتُذَكِّرَ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى | |
| and the witnesses should not refuse when they are called and don’t be weary to write it | وَلَا يَأْبَ الشُّهَدَآءُ إِذَا مَا دُعُوا وَلَا تَسْئَمُوا أَنْ تَكْتُبُوْهُ | |
| whether it be small or big for its fixed term | صَغِيْرًا أَوْ كَبِيْرًا إِلَى أَجَلِهِ | |
| that is more just with Allah (SWT) and more solid as evidence and more convenient to prevent doubt | ذَلِكُمْ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللهِ وَأَقْوَمُ لِلشَّهَادَةِ وَأَدْنَى أَلَّا تَرْتَابُوا | |
| except when it is a present trade you carry out on the spot between you | إِلَّآ أَنْ تَكُوْنَ تِجَارَةً حَاضِرَةً تُدِيْرُوْنَهَا بَيْنَكُمْ | |
| then no sin on you if you don’t write it but take witnesses when you make a commercial contract | فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَلَّا تَكْتُبُوْهَا وَأَشْهِدُوا إِذَا تَبَايَعْتُمْ | |
| and not the writer nor the witness must suffer any harm but if you do then truly it will be wickedness in you | وَلَا يُضَآرَّ كَاتِبٌ وَلَا شَهِيْدٌ وَإِنْ تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّهُ فُسُوْقٌ بِكُمْ | |
| 2-282 | and fear Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) teaches you and Allah (SWT) over everything is All-Knowing | وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللهُ وَاللهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ |
