1Fear the day wherein ye shall return to God; then shall each soul be paid what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged. * Le. his former conduct shall be pardoned. II, 282-284. THE CHAPTER OF THE HEIFER. 45 O ye who believe! if ye engage to one another in a debt for a stated time, then write it down, and leta scribe write it down between you faithfully; nor let a scribe refuse to write as God taught him, but let him write, and let him who owes dictate; but let him fear God his Lord, and not diminish therefrom aught ; but if he who owes be a fool, or weak, or cannot dictate himself, then let his agent dictate faithfully, and let them call two witnesses out from amongst their men; or if there be not two men, then a man and two women, from those whom he chooses for witnesses, so that if one of the two should err, the second of the two may remind the other; and let not the witnesses refuse when they are summoned ; and let them not tire of writing it, be it small or great, with its time of payment. That is more just in the sight of God, and more upright for testimony, and brings you nearer to not doubting. Unless, indeed, it be a ready-money transaction between you, which ye arrange between yourselves, then it is no crime against you that ye do not write it down; but bring witnesses to what ye sell one to another, and let not either scribe or witness come to harm, for if ye do it will be abomination in you; but fear God, for God teaches you, and God knows all things. But if ye be upon a journey, and ye cannot find a scribe, then let a pledge be taken. Butif one of you trust another, then let him who is trusted surrender his trust, and let him fear God his Lord, and conceal not testimony, for he who conceals it, verily, sinful is his heart : God knows what ye do. God’s is what is in heaven and in the earth, and if ye show what is in your souls, or hide it, God will call you to account; and He forgives whom He 46 THE QUR'AN, II, 284-III, 4. will, and punishes whom He will, for God is mighty over all. [285] The Apostle believes in what is sent down to him from his Lord, and the believers all believe on God, and His angels, and His Books, and His apostles,—we make no difference between any of His apostles,—they say, ‘We hear and obey, Thy pardon, O Lerd! for to Thee our journey tends. God will not require of the soul save its capacity. It shall have what it has earned, and it shall owe what has been earned from it. Lord, catch us not up, if we forget or make mistake; Lord, load us not with a burden, as Thou hast loaded those who were before us. Lord, make us not to carry what we have not strength for, but forgive us, and pardon us, and have mercy on us. Thou art our Sovereign, then help us against the people who do not believe!’ Tue CHAPTER OF ImMRAN’s FamILy. (III. Medina.) In the name of the merciful and compassionate God...
2Lord, make us not to carry what we have not strength for, but forgive us, and pardon us, and have mercy on us. Thou art our Sovereign, then help us against the people who do not believe!’ Tue CHAPTER OF ImMRAN’s FamILy. (III. Medina.) In the name of the merciful and compassionate God... A.L.M. God, there is no god but He, the living, the self-subsistent. He has sent down to thee the Book in truth, confirming what was before it, and has revealed the law, and the gospel before for the guidance of men, and has revealed the Discrimination. Verily, those who disbelieve in the signs of God, for them is severe torment, for God is mighty and avenging. Verily, God, there is nothing hidden from Him in the earth, nor in the heaven; He it is who fashions Ill, 4-11. THE CHAPTER OF IMRAN’S FAMILY. 47 you in the womb as He pleases. There is no God but He, the mighty, the wise. [5] He it is who has revealed to thee the Book, of which there are some verses that are decisive, they are the mother’ of the Book; and others ambiguous; but as for those in whose hearts is perversity, they follow what is ambiguous, and do crave for sedition, craving for (their own) interpretation of it; but none know the interpretation of it except God. But those who are well grounded © in knowledge say, ‘We believe in it; it is all from our Lord; but none will remember save those who possess minds. ‘O Lord! pervert not our hearts again when Thou hast guided them, and grant us mercy from Thee, for Thou art He who grants. O Lord! Thou shalt gather together men unto the day wherein is no doubt. Verily, God will not depart from His promise.’ Verily, those who misbelieve, their wealth shall not help them, nor their children, against God at all; and they it is who are the fuel of the fire. As was the wont of Pharaoh’s people, and those before them, they said our signs were lies, and God caught them up in their sins, for God is severe to punish, [10] Say to those who misbelieve, ‘Ye shall be overcome and driven together to hell, an ill couch will it be. ‘Ye have had a sign in the two parties who met; one party fighting in the way of God, the other misbelieving ; these saw twice the same number as themselves to the eye-sight?, for God aids 1 T.e. the fundamental part of it. 2 On the occasion of the battle of Bedr. See Introduction. 48 THE QUR'AN. Il, 11-19. with His help those whom He pleases.’ Verily, in that is a lesson for those who have perception. Seemly unto men is a life of lusts, of women, and children, and hoarded talents of gold and silver, and of horses well-bred, and cattle, and tilth ;—that is the provision for the life of this world; but God, with Him is the best resort.
3Seemly unto men is a life of lusts, of women, and children, and hoarded talents of gold and silver, and of horses well-bred, and cattle, and tilth ;—that is the provision for the life of this world; but God, with Him is the best resort. Say, ‘ But shall we tell you of a better thing than this ?’? For those who fear are gardens with their Lord, beneath which rivers flow; they shall dwell therein for aye, and pure wives and grace from God; the Lord looks on His servants, who say, ‘Lord, we believe, pardon Thou our sins and keep us from the torment of the fire,’ [15]—upon the patient, the truthful, the devout, and those who ask for pardon at the dawn. God bears witness that there is no god but He, and the angels, and those possessed of knowledge standing up for justice. There is no God but He, the mighty, the wise. Verily, (the true) religion in God’s sight is Islam, and those to whom the Book was given disagreed not until after that there was given to them knowledge, through mutual envy. But whoso disbelieves in God's signs, truly God is quick at reckoning up. And if they would dispute with thee, then say, ‘I turn my face with resignation unto God, and whoso follows me.’ And say to those who have been given the Book, unto the Gentiles?, ‘Are ye, too, resigned??’ and 1 The word also means ‘illiterate,’ and refers here to the Pagan Arabs in Mohammed’s time. He seems to have borrowed the expression from the Jews, ummfyfin having the same signification as the Hebrew goyim. 3 See note, p. 15. Ill, 19-27. THE CHAPTER OF IMRAN’S. FAMILY. 9-27 49 if they are resigned, then are they guided. But if they turn their backs, then thou hast only to preach, and God looks on his servants. [20] Verily, those who disbelieve in God’s signs, and kill the prophets without right, and kill those from among men, who bid what is just,—to them give the glad tidings of grievous woe! These are they whose works are void in this world and the next, and helpers have they none. Did ye not see those who have been given a portion of the Book? they were called unto the Book of God to decide between them; and then a sect of them turned their backs and turned away;—that is because they say the fire shall not touch us save for a certain number of days. But that deceived them in their religion which they had invented. How will it be when we have gathered them together for a day whereof there is no doubt, when each soul shall be paid what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged? [25] Say, ‘O God, Lord of the kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest, and strippest the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest; Thou honourest whom Thou pleasest, and abasest whom Thou pleasest ; in Thy hand is good. Verily, Thou art mighty over all. Thou dost turn night to day, and dost turn day to night, and dost bring forth the living from the dead, and dost provide for whom Thou pleasest without taking count.’
