Page no: 2 SURAH... AL-BAQARAH (O Listener) It is the truth from your Lord (or the truth is that which is from your Lord) then beware! Doubt not. And there is a direction of inclination for every one towards which, he turns his face; then desire that you may surpass others in good deeds. Wherever you be, Allah will bring you all together. No doubt, Allah has the power to do all that He wills. And from where so ever you come forth turn your face towards the sacred Mosque (Kaaba) and that is necessarily, the truth from your Lord and Allah is not unaware of your doings. And O beloved! When so-ever you come forth turn your face towards the sacred Mosque (Kaaba) And O Muslims! Turn your faces towards the same, wherever you be, so that people may have no argument against you, but those among them who do injustice, so fear them not and fear Me. And it is for this that I may perfect My favor upon you and that you may be rightly guided. As We sent in you Messenger from among you, that he recites Our signs to you and purifies you and teaches you the Book and mature knowledge and teaches you that which you did not know. Therefore remember Me, I shall remember you, and accept My right and do not be ungrateful to Me. O Believers! Seek help with patience and prayer; no doubt, Allah is with the Patients. And say not those who are killed in the path of Allah as dead; but they are alive yes, you are unaware. And necessarily, We shall put you to test with something of fear and hunger and with some loss of wealth and lives and fruits; and give glad tidings to the patient. That when any calamity comes to them, then they say We are belongings of Allah and we are to return to Him alone. These are the people on whom are the benediction from their Lord and mercy; and they are only on the guidance. No doubt, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah, then whose makes pilgrimage to this House or performs Umra, there is no sin for him that he may go round both, and who so does any good voluntarily,then Allah is Appreciating and All-knowing. No doubt, those who conceal what We have sent down of clear signs and guidance after that We have made it clear in the Book for the people, on them there is the curse of Allah and the curse of those who curse. But those who repent and amend and make manifest then I shall accept their repentance and I am the only Relenting Merciful. No doubt, those who disbelieved and died as disbelievers on them is the curse of Allah and of Angels and of men combined. They will ever remain in it, neither the torment shall be lightened from them and nor shall they be granted respite. And your God is one God, there is no God but He most Gracious and Merciful. Verily, the creation of heavens and earth and coming of night and day alternately, and the boat that sails in the river for the benefit of the people, and that which Allah sends down of water from heaven, and revives the dead earth thereby and scatters all kinds of beast therein, and the change of winds and the cloud that is obedient between heaven and earth, in all of them, necessarily there are signs for the wise people. And some people set some other deities of worship other than Allah that they love them as they are to love Allah and the believers love not anyone equal to that of Allah. And what would be the condition, if the transgressors see the time when the torments would come before their eyes, because all power belongs to Allah and because the torment of Allah is severe. When those who were followed would be disgusted with their followers and would see the torment and all their ties shall be cut asunder. And the followers will say, Would that for us there were a return (in the world) then We would have broken with them as they have broken with us. Thus will Allah show them their works as anguish for them, and they are not to come out from the Fire. O, Mankind! Eat of whatever is in earth lawful clean and follow not the steps of the Devil, no doubt, he is your open enemy. He will only command you to evil and indecency and that you should say of Allah what you do not know. And when it is said to them, follow what Allah has sent down, they say, Nay We shall follow that whereon we found our fathers, what! Even if their fathers had no sense at all and no guidance? And the saying of disbelievers is like him who calls unto that who hears nothing except a shout and cry; deaf,dumb, blind, so they have no sense. O, believers! Eat our good things provided to you, and be grateful to Allah, if it is He whom you worship. He has only made unlawful to you the Carrion, and blood and the flesh of swine and the animal that has been slaughtered by calling a name other than Allah. But he who is driven by necessity, eat neither desiring not,exceeding the need then there is no sin on him, no doubt, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Those who conceal the Book sent down by Allah and in exchange of it accept mean price; they fill-in their bellies with fire only and Allah will not talk to them on the Day of Resurrection and nor will He purify them and for them is painful torment. Those are they who purchased error in exchange of guidance and torment for forgiveness. Then to what degree is their endurance for fire. This is because Allah sent down the Book with truth, and no doubt, those who began to put difference in the Book, they are necessarily, brawlers of highest degree. The real righteousness is not this that you turn your face towards East or West; yes, the real virtue is this that one has faith in Allah and the Last day and the angels and the Book and the Prophets and gives his dear wealth for love of Allah to kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for redeeming necks, and establishes prayer and pays poor due (Zakat); and the performer of their promises when make promise and the patients in tribulation and adversity and at time of crusade;-These are they, who proved truth of their talks and they are only God-fearing. O, believers: It is obligatory upon you to take retaliation of the blood of those who are killed innocently, the.Free for free and the slave for slave and woman for woman. Then as for him who is forgiven something by his brother, there should be demand for payment with kindness and the payment be made satisfactorily well. This is to ease your burden from your Lord and a mercy upon you. Then after this one who transgresses for him there is painful torment. And there is life for you in retaliating for blood, O men of understanding! So that you may save yourselves. Made obligatory on you that when death approaches any of you, if he leaves some property, then he should make a will for his parents and near relatives according to usage. This is an obligation on those who fear God. Then who so changes the will after hearing, the sin thereof is only on those who change it. No doubt, Allah knows and hears. Then who feared, that the testator has done certain injustice or sin, then he made peace between them, there is no sin for him no doubt Allah is Forgiving Merciful. O Believers! Fasting have been made obligatory upon you as were made obligatory upon those before you, so that you may become pious. The days are counted. Then who so among you is ill or on a journey then same number of fasting in other days, and those who have no strength, they should give in ransom meal to a needy: then who so does more good voluntarily, then that is better for him, and fasting is better for you if you know. The month of Ramzan in which Quran was sent down, the direction for the people and guidance and clear signs of judgement; that whoso of you finds this month, necessarily, he should fast in it, and whoso is ill or on a journey then same number of fasting in other days; Allah desires facility for you and desires not hardship and for this, that you should complete the counting and speak of the Greatness of Allah, as He guided you and so that you may be grateful. And O beloved, when My bondsmen ask you about Me, then I am indeed near, accept the call of the caller when he calls upon Me; then they should obey My Commands and believe in Me, so that they may get the way. It was made lawful for you to go near your women in the nights of fasting. They are your garments and you are their garments. Allah know that you used to put your souls in defalcation, then He accepted your repentance and pardoned you; then now copulate (Intercourse) with them and seek what Allah has written in your destiny and eat and drink until white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread at the dawn;then complete the fasts till coming of night, and do not touch the women when you remain in the mosques, for devotion. These are the limits of Allah, do not approach them. Allah thus describes His Signs to the people, so that they may become pious. And do not eat up unjustly the property of each other among yourselves and nor convey their cases to the authorities for devouring unlawfully some portion of the property of the people knowingly. They ask you about the new moons. Say you, They are the signs of time for the people and pilgrimage (Haj).And it is no virtue that you enter your houses by the backs thereof, yes, the virtue is piety, so come in houses by their doors and fear Allah in the hope that you may get prosperity. And fight in the way of Allah, those who fight against you and do not transgress, Allah does not love the transgressors. And kill the infidels wherever you find and turn them out from the place where from they turned you out; and their mischief is more grievous than killing. And if they fight them near the sacred mosque unless they fight you therein, and they fight against you then kill, them. This is the only punishment of infidels. Then if they desist, then no doubt, Allah is Forgiving Merciful. And fight them until there is no mischief and be there worship of one Allah, then if they desist, there is no violence save against oppressors. There is forbidden month in exchange of forbidden month and elegant manner in exchange of elegant manner Whoso does violence against you, do violence against him in the same measure as he did, and remain tearing Allah and know that Allah is with the God-fearing. And spend in the way of Allah, and cast not yourself in destruction with your hand and be good-doers; no doubt! Good doers are the beloveds of Allah. And fulfill the Haj and Umra for Allah. Then if you are prevented, send sacrifice which you may get easily and shave not your heads, unless the sacrifice reaches its destination; Then whoso is ill of you or there is someailment in his head, then he should keep fast in exchange or give alms or sacrifice, then when you are at ease,then whoso takes advantage by combining Umra with Haj, on him there is sacrifice which may be obtained easily. Then whoso cannot afford. He should fast for three days during Haj and seven days when he returns back home, these are ten days complete. This Command is for him who is not the dweller of Mecca and remains fearing to Allah and knows that the torment of Allah is severe. The months of Haj are known; then whoso determines to perform Haj in these months, then there should be no mention of Copulation before women nor any sin nor quarreling with anyone till the time of Haj; and whatever good you do, Allah knows it. And take necessary provision with you, the best provision is piety and remain fearing Me, O Men of under standing! There is no sin unto you that you seek the bounty of your Lord. Then when you return back from Arafatremembers Allah near Mashhare-Haram (Qazah Mountain) and remembers Him as He guided you and no doubt, you had gone astray before. Then the thing is this that O Men of Quraish, you also return back from the same place whence the people return back and seek forgiveness from Allah: no doubt Allah is Forgiving Merciful. Then when you have completed the acts of Haj, remember Allah as you used to remember your fathers, but more than that, and some one says like this, O our Lord give us in the world and there is no share of him in the Hereafter. And someone says like this, O our Lord give us good in the world and give us good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the Hell To such people there is share from their earning and Allah is swift at reckoning. And remember Allah during Numbered days. Then whoso hastens to leave in two days; there is no sin unto him and whoso stays behind, then on him is no sin for the God fearing, and remain fearing God and know that you have to be raised unto Him. And some one of men is he whose talk seems pleasing to you and bring Allah as a witness on what is in his heart, while he is the greatest disputer. And when he turns his back then wanders spreading mischief in the land and destroys the crops and lives and Allah agrees not with the mist chief. And when it is said to him, fear Allah then he becomes more persistence in sin, to such the hell is enough and that is necessarily, a very bad bed. And some one of men sells his life in seeking the pleasure of Allah and Allah is Merciful over his bondmen. O People of Faith! enter into Islam as a whole and do not follow the footsteps of Satan (devil); no doubt, he is your open enemy. And even after this, that clear commands have come unto you, you slip, then know that Allah is Mighty, Wise. What they are waiting for but for this that the torment of Allah should come in the coverings of clouds and the angels should come down and the affairs be completed and to Allah are all affairs returned. Ask children of Israel, how many clear signs We gave them and whoso changes the favor of Allah after it has come, then no doubt, the torment of Allah is severe. The life of the world has been decorated in the eyes of infidels and they laugh at Muslims and those who fear would be above them on the Day of Resurrection; and God bestows without counting whomsoever He pleases. People were on one religion thereafter Allah sent prophets giving good tidings and warning and sent down with them the true Book that it should judge between people in their differences. And only those differed in the Book to whom it was given after clear commands had come to them, through refraction among themselves.Then Allah showed the truth to the believers in which they were quarreling by His Command, and Allah shows the straight path whomsoever He pleases. Do you imagine that you will enter Paradise, and yet the incidents like of your forerunners did not come unto you? The affliction and adversity reached to them and they were badly shaken until the messenger and believers along with him said, when will come the help of Allah Listen: no doubt, the help of Allah is nigh. They ask you what they should spend. Say: whatever wealth you spend in good, then that is for parents and near relatives and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer. And whatsoever good you do, no doubt: Allah knows it. It was made obligatory upon you, to fight in the path of God and though it is disliked by you, and it may happen that any thing may be disliked by you and that may be in your favor, and it may happen that anything may be liked by you and that may not be in your favor, and Allah knows and you do not know. They ask you the precept for fighting in the sacred month. Say you: Fighting therein is a great sin; but to prohibit from the way of Allah, and not to have faith in Him and to prevent from the sacred Mosque (Haram)and to oust its dwellers, are greater sins than it with Allah; and their mischief is more grievous than killing. And they will remain fighting against you always, until they turn you back from your faith, if they can. And whoso among you turns back from his faith, then dies as an infidel, then their works shall go in vain in the world and in the Hereafter, and they are the people of Hell and will abide in it. Those who believed and those who left their home and hearth for Allah and fought in the way of Allah, they are the aspirants of the mercy of Allah and Allah is Forgiving Merciful. They ask you the precept of wine and gambling. Say you, in both there is great sin and also some worldly profit for the people but their sin is greater than their profit and ask you what they ought to spend, say you,that which is saved after your needs. Thus, Allah explains to you His Signs so that you may do after reflecting, The works of the world and the Hereafter. And they ask you, the precept about orphans. Say you, To do good to them is better, and if you intermix your and their expenses then they are your brothers; and Allah knows well the mischief-maker from the reformer. And had Allah so willed, He would have put you into hardship, no doubt, Allah is Mighty, Wise. And marry not idolaters until they accept faith and no doubt, a Muslim bondman is better than an idolater is though she may please you. And give not in marriage to idolaters until they accept faith, and no doubt, a Muslim bondman is better than an idolater, though he may please you. They call towards Hell and Allah call towards Heaven and forgiveness by His Command and explain His Signs for the people so that they may accept admonition. And they ask you the precept about menstruation. Say you: -that is a pollution, so keep away from women during menstruation and do not approach them until they are roach them until they are clean. Then when they are clean, go in unto them whence Allah has commanded you. No doubt, Allah likes the constant repentance and likes cleansers. Your women are tilts for you, then come in your tilts as you will, and do first the work for your good, and remain fearing Allah and know that you are to meet Him. And O beloved! Give glad tidings to the believers. And make not Allah the target of your oaths that you may take oath for not doing good and nor fearing Allah and nor making peace between men; and Allah Hears, Knows. Allah does not call you to account for your such oaths as they come out from your tongs unintentionally, yes,He calls you to account for what your hearts have done, and Allah is Forgiving, For bearing. For those who swear off from going to their wives is an awaiting of four months; hence if they go back in this period, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. And if you decide firmly to divorce, then Allah Hears, Knows. And divorced women should keep their souls away till three menstruation, and it is not lawful to them that they conceal what Allah has created in their wombs. If they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the right to take them back during that period provided they will to rejoin. And the women have rights similar to those over them according to law, and men have superiority over them and Allah is Dominant,Wise. This divorce is for two times only; then is to retain with good or to release with kindness, and it is not allowed to you to take back something of what you have given to the women, but if both fear that they could not keep the limits of Allah. Then, if you fear that the Twain shall not remain just on the same limits then there is no sin on them for that with which the woman ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allah, do not transgress them,and whoso transgresses the limits of Allah, then they are the oppressors. Then if she is divorced for the third time, then that women will not be lawful to him, until she lives with another husband, then if that second one divorces her, then there is no sin on the twain if they come together again, if they think that they will observe the limits of Allah, and these are the limits of Allah. He explains them for the learned. And when you divorce women and their period are completed, then, till that time either retain them kindly or release them kindly, but there should not be retention to hurt them so that you may transgress the limit and whoso does this, he wrongs his own soul, and do not make jest of the signs of Allah and remember the favor of Allah upon you and the Book and Wisdom which He has sent down to you for admonishing you, and remain fearing Allah and know that Allah knows all things. And when you divorce women and their period are completed, then O guardians of women! Prevent them not from marrying their husbands, when they agree among themselves according to law. This counsel is given to him who among you have faith in Allah and the Last Day. This is cleaner and purer for you, and Allah knows and you do not know. And mothers should suckle their children for complete two years, for him who intends to complete the period of suckling, and to whom the child belongs, on him there is feeding and clothing of the women according to convention. No soul shall be burdened but within his capacity, the mother should not be made to suffer because of her child and nor father because of his child or (the mother should not make the child to suffer, and nor father to his child, and the same is incumbent on the fathers heir. Then if the mother and father both try to wean by mutual consent and consultation, there is no sin on them; and if you wish that your children should be suckled by nurses, then too there is no blame on you, provided what was agreed to pay is paid by you with kindness, and remain fearing Allah and know that Allah is seeing your works. And those of you who die and leave behind wives, they should keep themselves apart for a period of four months and ten days, then when they complete their period, then O guardians! There is no blame on you in any thing, which the women do with regard to themselves according to law. And Allah is aware what you do. And there is no sin on, you regarding this, that you sent offer of marriage to women by giving obscure hint or hold it in your hearts. Allah knows that now you will remember them. Yes, make not with them secret contract,but say that much only which is known in law. And do not resolve wedding-tie until the written term reaches to its period and know that Allah knows what is in your heart, then fear him and know that Allah is Forgiving,Forbearing There is no any demand against you if you divorce the women while you have not touched them or have fixed any dower. And give them something to carry on with the men of resources according to his means and the poor according to his means some thing to carry on with, this is incumbent on the well doers. And if you divorced women without touching them and for them you had already fixed some dower, then what much was agreed half of it is incumbent but if the women forgo something or he gives more in whose hand is the tied of the marriage, and O men your giving more is nearer to piety. And do not forget doing good to each other among! Your selves. No doubt, Allah is seeing your works. Watch over all your prayers and the middle prayer and stand before Allah with devotion. And if you are in fear then, on foot or riding, as you can, then when you are secure remember Allah as He taught you that which you did not know. And those of you who die and leave behind them wives, they should bequeath for their women to provide them maintenance for a year without turning them out; then if they themselves leave, you are not account able regarding any proper thing which they did in their matters and Allah is Dominant, Wise. And for a divorced woman too there is proper maintenance, it is incumbent on the God fearing Thus Allah explains His signs for you so that you may understand. O beloved! Had you not seen those who came out from their homes and they were in thousands for fear of death? Then Allah said to them. Die and thereafter made them alive. No doubt, Allah is Gracious to people but most of the people are ungrateful. And fight in the way of Allah and know that Allah Hears Knows. Is there any who should give a goodly loan to Allah so that Allah may increase many times for him. And Allah scants and amplifies, and you are to return unto Him. O Beloved! Did you not see a group of the children of Israel after Moosa? When they spoke to a prophet of theirs, raise for us a king that we may fight in the way of Allah. The prophet told, Are your style like this that if the fighting is made obligatory on you, thereafter you may not fight? Spoke they, what happened to us that we should not fight in the way of Allah whereas we have been driven away from our homeland and from our Children? But when fighting was made obligatory! On them, they turned their faces but a few of them, and Allah knows very well the, unjust. And their prophet said to them. Verily Allah has sent Talut as your king. Spoke they How can there be king ship of him over us, whereas we are more entitled for the kingship than he, and nor he has been given abundance of wealth too. Said the prophet Allah has chosen him over you, and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and body, and Allah gives His kingdom to whom He will and Allah is All-Embracing All-knowing. And their prophet said to them: the sign of his king ship is that there would come to you an ark in which there is ran quality of hearts from your Lord, and there are something left of the relics of the respectable Moosa and the respectable Haroon, the angels raising it would bring. No doubt, in it there is great sign for you if you believe When Talut aparted taking the armies from the City spoke he: no doubt Allah is to test you with a stream.Then whoso drinks he is not mine, and whose drinks not, he is mine, but he who takes a sip with his hand,then all drank of it except a few of them. Again when Talut and the Muslim with him went across the stream spoke, we have no power against Jalut and his armies. Those who were sure to meet Allah spoke, that often a small party has triumphed over a large party by Allahs Command, and Allah is with the steadfast. Again when they came across Jalut and his armies, they submitted: O our Lord pour forth steadfastness upon us and make our steps firm, and help us against disbelieving people. Then they routed them by the Command of Allah and Daud slew Jalut and Allah gave him Kingdom and wisdom and taught him what He pleased. And if Allah would not repel some of them by some others among people, then necessarily the earth, would have been ruined, but Allah is Munificent to entire, world. These are the verses of. Allah, that O beloved! We recite correctly to you and you are no doubt one of the Messengers. These are messengers! That in them We caused one to excel upon the other: to some of them Allah spoke:and some one is he who was raised high in degrees over-all, and We gave clear signs to Isa son of Marium and aided him with holy spirit and had Allah so willed, then those who came after them would not have fought among themselves after the clear signs had come to them. But they differed, some of them remained faithful and some became disbelievers and if Allah so willed, they would not have fought; but Allah does whatever He desires. O Believers! Spend in the way of Allah out of what We have given you before coming of the Day in which there is neither trafficking not friendship and nor intercession for infidels and the infidels are themselves the person sun just. Allah is; none is to be worshiped save Him, He is Himself Alive and Sustain er of others. Slumber seizes Him not,nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever in the earth. Who is he that would intercede with Him save by His leave. Knows He what is before them and what is behind them and they get no thing of His knowledge save what He desires. The heaven and earth are contained in His Throne and their guarding is not a burden for Him and He is the only Exalted, the Supreme. There is no compulsion in religion; no doubt the virtuous path has become clearly distinct from the erring; then whoso does not accept devil and believes in Allah, he grasped a very firm knot which is never to open and Allah Hears and Knows. Allah is the Protector of Muslims; brings them out from darkness towards light and the supporters of infidels are devils, and they bring them forth from light towards darkness. They are the people of hell, they are to abide therein. O Beloved (Prophet)! Had you not seen him who quarreled with Ibrahim about his Lord because Allah gave him Kingdom? When Ibrahim said, my Lord is He who gives life and causes death, said he, I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said, Well, Allah brings sun from East: bring it you from the West. Thereupon the infidels were confounded and Allah guides not the unjust people. Or like him who passed by a town and it was laid down fallen upon its roofs. Spoke he, How Allah shall give life to it after its death. Then Allah kept him died for a hundred years; then gave him life. Said, He! How long you stayed here, submitted he I would have stayed a full day or a little less. He said, No you have passed a hundred years, and look at your food and drink; they are not st inked as yet and look at your ass whose bone seven are not safe. And this is that We may make you a sign for the people. And look at these bones how, We set them up, then cover them with flesh. When this matter became clear to him, said, I know very well that Allah is Potent over all things. And when Ibrahim submitted, O my Lord, show me how You shall give life to the dead. Said He, do you not believe. Submitted he, why not, but I like that my heart may be at rest. Said He, then well, taking four birds,make them familiar to you, then put a part of each of them on each hill, thereafter call them they will come to you running with their feet. And know that Allah is Mighty, Wise. The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like that of a grain which caused to grow seven ears and in each ear one hundred grains and Allah may increase more than that for whomsoever He pleases; and Allah is Bountiful, All-knowing. Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, then after spending neither boast of favors conferred nor injure, their reward is with their Lord, and they shall have no fear, nor any grief. To speak kind word and to forgive is better than that; charity followed by injury. And Allah is above want,Clement. O Believers! Void not your charities by boasting of your favors conferred and injuring, like him who spent his wealth for showing to people and believes not in Allah and Last Day. Then the example of him is like that of as mooth rock on which is dust of earth; now a heavy rain fell upon it leaving it a bare stone. They shall have no control on anything of what they have earned and Allah guides not the infidels. And the example of those who spend their wealth in seeking the pleasure of Allah and for strengthening their hearts is like that garden which is on an elevated ground; a heavy rain fell upon it then it brought forth its fruits two fold; again if a heavy rain reaches it not, then dew suffices. And Allah is seeing what you do. Would any one of you like it that he would have a garden of dates and grapes beneath which rivers would have been flowing; for him, there is every kind of fruit in it, and old age came to him and he has weak children, then came a whirlwind on it in which there was fire, so it was burnt? Thus Allah explains to you His signs, so that you may ponder. O Believers! Give something of your pure earnings and of what We produce from the earth for you; and intend not to give especially vile of it, whereas if you get of it, you will not accept unless you close your eyes in it. And know that Allah is free of all wants, Praiseworthy. The devil dreads you of destitution and commands you of lewdness, and Allah promises you forgiveness and abundance. And Allah is All-Embracing All-Knowing. Allah grants wisdom to whom He pleases and he who got wisdom indeed got abundant good; and none accepts counsel but men of under standing. And whatsoever you spend or vows Allah knows it and the unjust have no helpers. If you give charity openly then what a good thing it is; and if you give to beggars hiding it is better for you than every thing, and He will remove some of your sins. And Allah is Aware of what you do. To guide them is not your responsibility; yes Allah guides whomsoever He pleases. And whatsoever good thing you give it is for your own good, and it is not proper for you to spend but for seeking pleasure of Allah and whatever of wealth you give, you will get back in full and you shall not be wronged. For those beggars who are detained in the way of Allah, they cannot move about in the earth. The ignorant man thinks them wealthy because of their restraint. You shall recognize them from their faces; they do not beg of men importunately. And whatever you give in charity Allah knows it. Those who spend their wealth (in charity) in the night and in the day secretly and openly. They have their reward with their Lord. There is neither any fear nor any grief to them. Those who devour interest shall not stand on the Day of judgement, but like the standing of one whom the evil spirit has by touching made mad. This is because they said The trade too is like interest, and Allah made trade lawful and made interest unlawful. So he, who received admonition from his Lord and refrained, then whatever he took before is lawful to him, and his affair is with Allah. And now whoever shall commit such. Fault, they are men of hell, they will live therein for longer period. Allah destroys interest and increases charity and Allah loves not any ungrateful big sinner. No doubt, those who accepted faith and did good deeds and established prayer and paid the Zakat, (poor-due)their reward is with their Lord and there is neither any fear nor any grief to them. O Believers! Fear Allah and leave what remains of interest if you are Muslims. But if you do not do like this, then be sure of war from Allah and the Messenger of Allah. And if you repent then take your principal sums, neither you wrong any one nor be wronged yourselves. And if the debtor is a man in hardship then give him time till it is easy, and to remit the debt fully is better for you if you know. And fear the day in which you shall be made to return to Allah and shall every soul be paid in full what it has earned and they shall not be wronged. O Believers! When you enter in the transaction of any debt for a fixed period, then write it down. And a scribe should write between you justly; and the scribe should not refuse to write as he has been taught by Allah, then he should write and let him on whom. The liability falls dictate and fear Allah Who is his Lord and leaves not behind something out of the liability. Then again he on whom liability falls be of low understanding or be weak or be unable to dictate; then let his guardian dictate justly. And make two witnesses from among your men,then if two men be not available then a man and two women such witnesses, as you like, so that either of the two women errs in memory, then the other may remind to that one. And when the witnesses are called, they should not refuse to come. And do not take it as a burden, the liability be it small or big, write it down along with its fixed period. It is juster in the sight of Allah, in it the evidence will be more suitable and it is nearer to it that you may not be in doubt; save a ready merchandise which you give or take from hand to hand, there is nos in on you, if you write it not. And when you trade, make witnesses. And neither any scribe be harmed nor the witness (or neither the scribe do harm nor the witness). And if you do such then it would be your insubordination. And fear Allah and Allah teaches you and Allah knows everything. And if you are on a journey, and you find not a scribe then let there be pledge with possession. And if in between you one entrusts the other, then let he whom he trusted deliver his trust and fear Allah Who is his Lord and conceal not evidence; and whosoever would conceal evidence, then his heart is sinful from inside,and Allah knows your deeds. To Allah belongs what ever is in the heaven and whatever is in the earth; and if you disclose whatever is in your heart or keep it hidden, Allah will call you to account for it; then He will forgive whomsoever He pleases and punish whomsoever He pleases, and Allah is Potent over every thing. The Messenger believed in that which was sent down to him from his Lord and the believers all accepted Allah and His angels and His Books and His messengers saying this, that we do not differentiate in the matter of having faith in any of His messengers and submitted that we heard and obeyed. Let there be your forgiveness,O our Lord! And to you is our return. Allah places not burden on any soul but to the extent of his strength whatever good it earned is useful for it and whatever bad it earned is a loss for it. O our Lord! Catch not us if we forget or miss the mark! O our Lord!And place not heavy burden on us as you had placed on those before us. O our Lord! Put not that burden onus of which we have no strength to bear! And pardon us and forgive and have mercy on us. You are our Master; then help us against the infidels. END OF SURAH... AL-BAQARAH
