| 2-192 | but if they cease then indeed Allah (SWT) is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful | فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَإِنَّ اللهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ |
| and fight them until there is no more oppression and there be the religion of Allah (SWT) | وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّيْنُ لِلَّهِ | |
| 2-193 | but if they cease then let there be no hostility except against the oppressors | فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَلَا عُدْوَانَ إِلَّا عَلَى الظَّالِمِيْنَ |
| those who consume usury, not they will stand except like stands the one who | الَّذِيْنَ يَأْكُلُوْنَ الرِّبَوا لَا يَقُوْمُوْنَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُوْمُ الَّذِي | |
| Satan confounds him from the touch, that is because they say, “only the trade is like usury” | يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ المَسِّ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا البَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَوا | |
| while Allah (SWT) has permitted trade and forbidden usury, then who, the admonition comes to him from his Lord | وَأَحَلَّ اللهُ البَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَوا فَمَنْ جَآءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ | |
| and he refrained, then for him what passed and his case is with Allah (SWT) | فَانْتَهَى فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللهِ | |
| 2-275 | and who repeated then those are the companions of the fire they will abide therein forever | وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُوْلَآئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيْهَا خَالِدُوْنَ |
| and let there be among you a people calling to the good ordering (encouraging) to the right (goodness) | وَلْتَكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُوْنَ إِلَى الخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالمَعْرُوْفِ | |
| 3-104 | and they forbid from the wrong (evil) and those, they are the ones who are successful | وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ المُنْكَرِ وَأُوْلَآئِكَ هُمُ المُفْلِحُوْنَ |
| You are the best people brought forth for mankind you order to the right and you forbid from the wrong | كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالمَعْرُوْفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ المُنْكَرِ | |
| and you believe in Allah (SWT) and if the people of the book believed surely, it would have been better for them | وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللهِ وَلَوْ ءَامَنَ أَهْلُ الكِتَابِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ | |
| 3-110 | among them are believers but most of them are defiantly disobedient | مِّنْهُمُ المُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَأَكْثَرَهُمُ الفَاسِقُوْنَ |
| they believe in Allah (SWT) and the last day, and they enjoin to the right | يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللهِ وَاليَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَيَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالمَعْرُفِ | |
| and forbid from the wrong and they hasten to the good | وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ المُنْكَرِ وَيُسَارِعُوْنَ فِي الخَيْرَاتِ | |
| 3-114 | and those are from the righteous | وَأُوْلَآئِكَ مِنَ الصَّالِحِيْنَ |
| If you avoid the big of what you are forbidden from it | إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ | |
| 4-31 | We will remove from you your evil deeds and We will admit you a noble admittance | نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيْمًا |
| and their taking usury while certainly they were forbidden from it, and they consume the wealth of the people | وَأَخْذِهِمُ الرِّبَوا وَقَدْ نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَأَكْلِهِمْ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ | |
| 4-161 | with falsehood so We prepared for the disbelievers among them, a painful punishment | بِالبَاطِلِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِيْنَ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيْمًا |
| O people of the book! don’t commit excess in your religion and don’t say about Allah (SWT) | يَآ أَهْلَ الكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا فِي دِيْنِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُوْلُوا عَلَى اللهِ | |
| except the truth, only the Messiah, Isa (AS) son of Mary, messenger of Allah (SWT) and His Word | إِلَّا الحَقَّ إِنَّمَا المَسِيْحُ عِيْسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ | |
| which He conveyed to Maryam (RA) and a spirit from Him so believe in Allah (SWT) and His messengers | أَلْقَاهَآ إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوْحٌ مِّنْهُ فَئَامِنُوا بِاللهِ وَرُسُلِهِ | |
| and don’t say “three”, desist (is) better for you | وَلَا تَقُوْلُوا ثَلَاثَةٌ انْتَهُوا خَيْرًا لَّكُمْ | |
| (say) only Allah (SWT) is a God, One, Glory be to Him! that He has for Him a son | إِنَّمَا اللهُ إِلَاهٌ وَاحِدٌ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ يَكُوْنَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ | |
| 4-171 | belongs to Him what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and sufficient is Allah (SWT) as a Guardian (Trustee-Manager) | لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَفَى بِاللهِ وَكِيْلً |
| Why do the rabbis and the religious scholars not forbid them from sinful words | لَوْ لَا يَنْهَاهُمُ الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالأَحْبَارُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِمُ الإِثْمَ | |
| 5-63 | and from consuming the forbidden Evil indeed, is what they used to do | وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُوْنَ |
| Certainly, those disbelieved who say “Allah (SWT) is the third of three and of gods there are none except One God | لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَاهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَآهٌ وَاحِدٌ | |
| 5-73 | and if they desist not regarding what they say a painful punishment will surely touch (afflict) those who disbelieved | وَإِنْ لَّمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُوْلُوْنَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيْمٌ |
| They used to not prevent one another from the wrong that they did | كَانُوا لَا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَنْ مُّنْكَرِ فَعَلُوهُ | |
| 5-79 | Surely, evil was what they were doing | لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُوْنَ |
| Satan only wishes to cause enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants | إِنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُوْقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ العَدَاوَةَ وَالبَغْضَآءَ فِي الخَمْرِ | |
| 5-91 | and gambling and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah (SWT) and the prayer Then, will you not be the ones who abstain? | وَالمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُّنْتَهُوْنَ |
| and they forbid from him, and they keep away from him | وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْئَوْنَ عَنْهُ | |
| 6-26 | and they destroy not except themselves, but they perceive not | وَإِنْ يُهْلِكُونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ |
| Nay! What they were concealing from before became manifest for them | بَلْ بَدَا لَهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يُخْفُوْنَ مِنْ قَبْلُ | |
| 6-28 | and if they were sent back, they would certainly return to what they were forbidden and indeed, they are certainly liars | وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُوْنَ |
| Say, “Truly I have been forbidden to worship those you call from other than Allah (SWT)” | قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِيْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللهِ | |
| 6-56 | say, “I will not follow your vain desires” “Certainly, I will go astray then, and will not be from the guided ones” | قُلْ لَّآ أَتَّبِعُ أَهْوَآءَكُمْ قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَآ أَنَا مِنَ المُهْتَدِيْنَ |

| 79-44 | to your Lord is its limits | إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَآ |
