O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you. But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be shown to you. Allah has pardoned that which is past; and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing

A people asked such [questions] before you; then they became thereby disbelievers

Allah has not appointed [such innovations as] bahirah or sa'ibah or wasilah or ham. But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allah, and most of them do not reason

وَإِذَاAnd whenقِيلَit is saidلَهُمْto themتَعَالَوْا۟Comeإِلَىٰtoمَآwhatأَنزَلَhas (been) revealedٱللَّهُ(by) Allahوَإِلَىand toٱلرَّسُولِthe Messengerقَالُوا۟they saidحَسْبُنَاSufficient for usمَا(is) whatوَجَدْنَاwe foundعَلَيْهِupon itءَابَآءَنَآour forefathersأَوَلَوْEven thoughكَانَ(that)ءَابَآؤُهُمْtheir forefathersلَا(were) notيَعْلَمُونَknowingشَيْـًٔاanythingوَلَاand notيَهْتَدُونَthey (were) guided﴿١٠٤﴾

And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger," they say, "Sufficient for us is that upon which we found our fathers." Even though their fathers knew nothing, nor were they guided

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاO youٱلَّذِينَwhoءَامَنُوا۟believeعَلَيْكُمْUpon youأَنفُسَكُمْ(is to guard) yourselvesلَاNotيَضُرُّكُمwill harm youمَّن(those) whoضَلَّ(have gone) astrayإِذَاwhenٱهْتَدَيْتُمْyou have been guidedإِلَىToٱللَّهِAllahمَرْجِعُكُمْ(is) your return جَمِيعًاallفَيُنَبِّئُكُمthen He will inform youبِمَاof whatكُنتُمْyou used toتَعْمَلُونَdo﴿١٠٥﴾

O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allah is you return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاO youٱلَّذِينَwhoءَامَنُوا۟believeشَهَٰدَةُ(Take) testimonyبَيْنِكُمْamong youإِذَاwhenحَضَرَapproachesأَحَدَكُمُone of youٱلْمَوْتُ[the] deathحِينَ(at the) time (of making)ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ[the] a willٱثْنَانِtwoذَوَاmenعَدْلٍjustمِّنكُمْamong youأَوْorءَاخَرَانِtwo othersمِنْfromغَيْرِكُمْother than youإِنْifأَنتُمْyouضَرَبْتُمْ(are) travel(ing)فِىinٱلْأَرْضِthe earthفَأَصَٰبَتْكُمthen befalls youمُّصِيبَةُcalamityٱلْمَوْتِ(of) [the] deathتَحْبِسُونَهُمَاDetain both of themمِنۢfromبَعْدِafterٱلصَّلَوٰةِthe prayerفَيُقْسِمَانِand let them both swearبِٱللَّهِby Allahإِنِifٱرْتَبْتُمْyou doubtلَاNotنَشْتَرِىwe will exchangeبِهِۦit forثَمَنًاa priceوَلَوْeven ifكَانَhe isذَا(of)قُرْبَىٰa near relativeوَلَاand notنَكْتُمُwe will concealشَهَٰدَةَtestimonyٱللَّهِ(of) AllahإِنَّآIndeed, weإِذًاthenلَّمِنَ(will) surely (be) ofٱلْءَاثِمِينَthe sinners﴿١٠٦﴾

O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of] two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allah if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange our oath for a price, even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of Allah. Indeed, we would then be of the sinful

فَإِنْThen ifعُثِرَit is discoveredعَلَىٰٓ(on)أَنَّهُمَاthat the twoٱسْتَحَقَّآ(were) guiltyإِثْمًا(of) sinفَـَٔاخَرَانِthen (let) two othersيَقُومَانِstandمَقَامَهُمَا(in) their placeمِنَfromٱلَّذِينَthose whoٱسْتَحَقَّhave a lawful rightعَلَيْهِمُover them ٱلْأَوْلَيَٰنِthe former two فَيُقْسِمَانِand let them both swearبِٱللَّهِby AllahلَشَهَٰدَتُنَآSurely our testimonyأَحَقُّ(is) truerمِنthanشَهَٰدَتِهِمَاtestimony of the other twoوَمَاand notٱعْتَدَيْنَآwe have transgressedإِنَّآIndeed, weإِذًاthenلَّمِنَ(will be) ofٱلظَّٰلِمِينَthe wrongdoers﴿١٠٧﴾

But if it is found that those two were guilty of perjury, let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allah, "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers

ذَٰلِكَThatأَدْنَىٰٓ(is) closerأَنthatيَأْتُوا۟they will giveبِٱلشَّهَٰدَةِthe testimonyعَلَىٰinوَجْهِهَآits (true) formأَوْorيَخَافُوٓا۟they would fearأَنthatتُرَدَّwill be refutedأَيْمَٰنٌۢtheir oathsبَعْدَafterأَيْمَٰنِهِمْtheir (others) oathsوَٱتَّقُوا۟And fearٱللَّهَAllahوَٱسْمَعُوا۟and listenوَٱللَّهُand Allahلَا(does) notيَهْدِىguideٱلْقَوْمَthe peopleٱلْفَٰسِقِينَthe defiantly disobedient﴿١٠٨﴾

That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allah and listen; and Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people

يَوْمَ(The) dayيَجْمَعُwill (be) gatheredٱللَّهُ(by) Allahٱلرُّسُلَthe Messengersفَيَقُولُand He will sayمَاذَآWhatأُجِبْتُمْwas (the) response you receivedقَالُوا۟They saidلَا(There is) noعِلْمَknowledgeلَنَآfor usإِنَّكَIndeed YouأَنتَYouعَلَّٰمُ(are the) Knowerٱلْغُيُوبِ(of) the unseen﴿١٠٩﴾

[Be warned of] the Day when Allah will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen

[The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic

And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, "Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus." They said, "We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allah]

[And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven? [Jesus] said," Fear Allah, if you should be believers

قَالُوا۟They saidنُرِيدُWe wishأَنthatنَّأْكُلَwe eatمِنْهَاfrom itوَتَطْمَئِنَّand satisfyقُلُوبُنَاour heartsوَنَعْلَمَand we knowأَنthatقَدْcertainlyصَدَقْتَنَاyou have spoken the truth to usوَنَكُونَand we beعَلَيْهَاover itمِنَamongٱلشَّٰهِدِينَthe witnesses﴿١١٣﴾

They said, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses

Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers

Allah said, "Indeed, I will sent it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds

And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen

I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness

If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise

Allah will say, "This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment
