In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Compassionate.

(4:1) O People! (Demonstrate) responsibility to your Lord, Who collected you of one soul, and created her of her conjugation, and opposite from them many men and women. And (demonstrate) responsibility to Allah, Whom you ask, and (beware of severing) kinship. For Allah is exercising observation over you.

(4:2) Give the orphans their money; do not replace the good with the bad, and do not consume their money to your money, for truly it is a great sin!

(4:3) If you fear that you cannot be just to fatherless orphans, then marry those whom you see fit from the women, two, and three, and four. But if you fear you will not be fair then only one, or whom you already have contract with. So that you do not commit injustice and suffer hardship.

(4:4) Give the women their property willingly, and if they remit any of it to you of their own will, then you may take it with good feelings.

(4:5) Do not give the immature ones your money, which Allah has entrusted to you. Spend on them from it and clothe them, and speak to them nicely.

(4:6) Test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage. So when you notice that they (progress in) awareness, then give them their wealth, and do not deliberately consume it wastefully or quickly before they grow up. Whoever is rich, then let him not claim anything, and if he is poor then let him consume only properly. If you give to them their wealth, then make a witness for them, and Allah is enough for Reckoning.

(4:7) For the men is a portion from what the parents and the relatives left behind, and for the women is a portion from what the parents and relatives left behind, be it little or much; an imposed portion.

(4:8) If the distribution is attended by the relatives, the orphans, and the needy, then you shall give them part of it and say to them a kind saying.

(4:9) What if it was them who had left behind a weak progeny? Would they not be concerned for them? Let them revere Allah and let them say what is appropriate.

(4:10) Those who consume the money of the orphans illicitly, in fact are consuming fire in their bellies, and they will be burned in neurosis.

(4:11) Allah commands you (concerning) your children: a man (gets) a share equal to (the share of) two women. If (all the children) are women (numbering) more than two, they (belong) to two-thirds of what he left behind. If there is (only) one (daughter), then she (owns) half. If they have a child, each of their parents owns one sixth of what they have left, if they have a child. If he has no child and his parents are heirs, then the mother (has) one third. If he has brothers (and sisters), then the mother (is entitled to) one-sixth. (This is the calculation) after the (deduction) of the prescribed will, or (paid) debt. Your parents, and your children - you have no idea (which of them is closer, and (brings you more) benefit. This is Allah's commandment. In fact, Allah is (...) Knowledgeable, Acuminate"

(4:12) For you is half of what your wives leave behind if they have no children; but if they have a child then to you is one quarter of what they leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. To them is one quarter of what you leave behind if you have no child; but if you have a child then to them is one eighth of what you leave behind. All after a will is carried through or a debt. If a man or a woman has no one, but has a brother or sister, then to each one of them is one sixth, but if they are more than this then they are to share in one third. All after a will is carried through or a debt, which does not cause harm. A directive from Allah, and Allah is Knowledgeable, Compassionate.

(4:13) These are Allah's limits, and whoever obeys Allah and His messenger, He will admit him to genetics with rivers flowing beneath, eternally abiding therein. This is the Great Succeeding.

(4:14) Whoever disobeys Allah and His messenger, and transgresses His limits, He will admit him to a fire in which he abides eternally, and he will have a humiliating retribution.

(4:15)The women who commit lewdness, you shall bring four witnesses over them from amongst you; if they bear witness, then you shall restrict them in the homes until death takes them, or Allah makes for them a way out.

(4:16) The two who commit it from amongst you, then you shall reprimand them. If they repent and amend, then leave them alone. Allah is Redeemer, Compassionate.

(4:17) Allah's acceptance of repentance is only for those who commits the sin out of ignorance. And then repent soon after; these will be forgiven by Allah. Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:18) There will be no repentance for those who commit sin until death comes upon one of them, then he says, "I repent now!" Nor there will be repentance for those who die while they are ingrates. To those We have prepared a painful retribution.*

(4:19) O you who trust! It is not holy for you to inherit women by compulsion. Do not hinder them by (preventing) them from taking some of what you gave them (earlier), unless they have committed a manifest abomination. Live with them in conscience, even if they are unpleasant to you, for you may be unpleasant to that in which Allah has laid much good.

(4:20) If you wish to replace one mate instead of another, and you have given one of them a kantar, then do not take anything from it. Would you take it by falsehood while it is clearly a sin?

(4:21) How can you take it when you have become intimate with each other, and they have taken from you a strict covenant?

(4:22) Do not marry what your fathers had married from the women, except what has already been done. It is lewdness, abhorrence, and a bad path.

(4:23) You are harmed by your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's aunts, your mother's aunts, your brother's daughters, your sisters' daughters, your foster mothers, your foster sisters, your wives' mothers, your stepdaughters who are under your protection, with whose mothers you were intimate, but if you were not intimate with them, you shall not be guilty; also your sons' wives, who (came from) your chromosomes. You (are forbidden) to jam (at the same time) two sisters, unless it (happened) before. Verily, Allah is (...) the forgiving, the merciful.

(4:24) And the chaste women (are forbidden to you), except those who already belong to you. (This is Allah's ordinance for you. All (other women) are holy to you, except those specified, if you attain them by means of your possessions, (observing) chastity, and by not being promiscuous. And for the pleasure that you (receive) from them, give them the established remuneration. There will be no guilt on you if you (come) to mutual agreement after (determining) the established (reward). Verily, Allah is (...) Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:25) Whoever of you cannot afford to marry the acknowledging independent women, then from those young women whom you have contractual rights. Allah is more aware of your faith; you are equal to one another. You shall marry them with the permission of their family and give them their wage in kindness, to be protected, not for illicit sex or for taking lovers. If they become protected, then any of them who come with lewdness shall have half the punishment of what is for the independent women of the retribution. This is for those who fear hardship from among you. But if you are patient it is better for you, and Allah is Forgiver, Compassionate.

(4:26) Allah desires to (give) you definition, and to guide you by the sanity of those who have gone before you, and (reveal) to you the acceptance of confession. And Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:27) Allah wants to pardon you, but those who follow their lusts want that you would be diverted into a great diversion.

(4:28) Allah wants to make easy for you; and humankind was created weak.

(4:29) O you who trust, do not devour your wealth between you unjustly, except through a trade, which is mutually agreed by you. Do not attack your psyche. Allah is Compassionate towards you.

(4:30) Whoever does so out of animosity and transgression, We will cast him into a fire; and this for Allah is very easy.

(4:31) If you avoid the major sins that you are forbidden against, then We will cancel your existing sins and admit you to a generous entrance.

(4:32) Do not envy what Allah has favored some of you over others. For the men is a portion of what they gained, and for the women is a portion of what they gained. Ask Allah from His favor, Allah is knowledgeable over all things.

(4:33) For each We have made inheritors for what was left behind by the parents and the relatives. Those whom are dependent on you, you shall give them their portion. Allah is witness over all things.

(4:34) The men are to support the women because Allah has fidelized some of them over others and because they spend of their money. The reformed (women) are devotees and capsulates of confidentiality (of family life) which Allah (commanded) capsulate. As for those women from whom you fear disloyalty, then you shall advise them, abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate them. If they obey you, then do not seek a way over them. Allah is High, Great.

(4:35) If you fear a split between them, then appoint a (arbitrator) judge from his family and a (arbitrator) judge from her family. If they intend to reconcile, then Allah will bring agreement between them. Allah is Knowledgeable, Ever-aware.

(4:36) Obey Allah, and join no one to Him. (Do) good to parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, neighbors nearby, and neighbors (who are) far away, (your) companions (who are) nearby, travelers, and those (people) who belong to you. In fact, Allah does not love him who is a proud boaster,

(4:37) Those who are stingy and order the people to stinginess, and they conceal what Allah has given them from His bounty. We have prepared for these ingrates a painful retribution.

(4:38) And whoso spend his possessions unto Men, and do not (show) trust in Allah, and do not (trust in the idea of) the Ultimate Day. And he to whom psycho-physiological addiction will become an alter ego... (how) abstinent this alter ego is!

(4:39) What would bother them if they acknowledged Allah and the Last day and spent from Allah's provisions? Allah is aware of them.

(4:40) Indeed, Allah does not wrong an atom's weight; and if it is good He will double it. He grants from Himself a great gratuity.

(4:41) How is it then when We bring forth from every denomination a checker, and bring you as a checker over these?

(4:42) On that day those who rejected and disobeyed the messenger will wish that the earth would swallow them; but they cannot hide anything said from Allah.

(4:43) O you who trust, do not come near the contact prayer while you are under alcoholic (intoxication), until you know what you are saying. Nor if you have had intercourse, unless traveling, until you bathe. If you are ill, or traveling, or one of you come from the bathroom, or you had sexual contact with the women, and could not find water: then you shall seek clean soil and wipe your faces and hands. Allah is Indulgent, Forgiving.

(4:44) Did you not see those who have been given a portion of the book? They purchased the delusion, and they want you to delude from the path.

(4:45) Allah is fully aware of your enemies; and Allah is enough as a supporter, and Allah is enough as a victor.

(4:46) From amongst the Jews there are those who take the words out of context, and they say, "We hear and disobey, and listen but let not any listen, and shepherd us," in a twisting of their tongues and as a mockery of the system! Had they said, "We hear and obey, and listen, and watch over us," it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them for their rejection, they do not acknowledge except very little.

(4:47) O you who have received the book, trust what We have sent down ahauthenticating what is with you, before We cast down faces and turn them on their backs or curse them as the people of the Sabbath were cursed. Allah's will is always done.

(4:48) Allah does not forgive that partners be set up with Him, and He forgives what is beside that for whom He wills. Whoever sets up partners with Allah has indeed invented a great sin.

(4:49) Did you not see those who exalt themselves? No, it is Allah who exalts whom He wills, and they will not be wronged in the least.

(4:50) See how they invent upon Allah the lies; is that not enough as a clear sin?

(4:51) Have you not seen those who (have) been given portion of the Scripture? They (treat with) trust in prejudices, and in Tradition, and say of those who deny: "Behold these (follow) a truer way than the way (by which) those who trust."

(4:52) These are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and whomever Allah curses, you will not find for him a victor.

(4:53) Or would they have a portion of the sovereignty? If so, then they would not give the people a speck.

(4:54) Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His bounty? We have given the descendants of Abraham the book and the acme; We have given them a great power.

(4:55) Some of them acknowledged it, and some of them turned from it. Suffices (for them) neurosis in Samsara.

(4:56) Those who have rejected Our ideas, We will admit them to a fire. Every time their skins are cooked, We replace them with other skin that they may taste the retribution. Allah is Noble, Acuminate.

(4:57) Those who acknowledge and do well, We will admit them to genetics with rivers flowing beneath, eternally they abide therein. In it they will have pure spouses, and We will admit them to a vast shade.

(4:58) Allah orders you to delegate the responsibilities to those who are qualified. If you judge between the people, then you shall judge with justice. It is always the best that Allah prescribes for you. Allah is Hearer, Seer.

(4:59) O you who trust, obey Allah and obey the messenger and those entrusted amongst you. But if you dispute in any matter, then you shall refer it to Allah and His messenger, if you acknowledge Allah and the Last day. That is better and a more suitable solution.

(4:60) Did you not see those who claimed they acknowledged what was sent down to you and what was sent before you? They wanted to seek judgment through aggression, while they were ordered to reject it. It is the devil who wants to delude them delusion.

(4:61) If they are told, "Come to what Allah has sent down and to the messenger," you see the hypocrites turning away from you strongly.

(4:62) Why then, when a tragedy befalls them for what their hands have brought forth do they come to you swearing by Allah that they only wanted to do good and reconcile?

(4:63) These are a people whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so do not mind them; advise them, and speak to their persons with a clear saying.

(4:64) We do not send a messenger except to be obeyed by Allah's leave. Had they come to you when they had wronged themselves and sought Allah's forgiveness, and the messenger sought forgiveness for them, they would have then found Allah to be Pardoning, Compassionate.

(4:65) No, by your Lord, they will not acknowledge until they make you judge in what they dispute with each other, then they will not find in their persons any animosity for what you have decided, and they will yield completely.

(4:66) Had We decreed for them, "Face yourselves," or "Leave your land," they would not have done so except for a few of them. If they had done what they were advised with, it would have been better for them and helped to strengthen them.

(4:67) Then We would have given them from Us a great gratuity.

(4:68) and would guide them (according to) a cumulative strategy.

(4:69) Whoever obeys Allah and the messenger will be among those whom Allah has blessed from the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the reformed. What an excellent companionship!

(4:70) That is the bounty from Allah; and Allah suffices as a Knower.

(4:71) O you who trust, take your precaution by going out in clusters, or going out all together.

(4:72) From among you will be those that would lag behind, so that if disaster afflicts you he would say, "Allah has blessed me that I was not a martyr with them!"

(4:73) If favor from Allah benefits you, he will speak as if there had been affection between you and him, "Oh, I wish I had been with them so I would win a great prize."

(4:74) Let those who seek to purchase the Hereafter rather than this world fight in the cause of Allah. Whoever fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or attains victory, then We will grant him a great gratuity.

(4:75) Why do you not fight in the cause of Allah, when the oppressed amongst the men and women and children say, "Our Lord, bring us out of this town whose people are wicked, and grant us from Yourself a Supporter, and grant us from Yourself a Victor!"

(4:76) Those who acknowledge, fight in the cause of Allah, while those who reject, fight in the cause of aggression; so fight the supporters of the devil, for the planning of the devil is weak.

(4:77) Did you not see those who were told, "Restrain yourselves, and observe the contact prayer, and contribute towards betterment." But when fighting was decreed for them, a group of them feared the people as much as they feared Allah or even more so. They said, "Our Lord, why did You decree fighting for us? If only You would delay for us till another time." Say, "The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is far better for those who are aware; you will not be wronged in the least."

(4:78) Wherever you may be, death will find you, even if you are in fortified towers. If any good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah," and if any bad befalls them, they say, "This is from you!" Say, "All is from Allah!" What is wrong with these people, they barely understand anything said!

(4:79) Any good that befalls you is from Allah, and any bad that befalls you is from yourself. We have sent you as a messenger to the people and Allah is enough as a witness.

(4:80) Whoever obeys the messenger has obeyed Allah; and whoever turns away, We have not sent you as a guardian over them.

(4:81) They say, "Obedience," but when they emerge from you a group of them prepares for other that what you have said, and Allah records what they planned. So turn away from them and put your trust in Allah. Allah is enough for your trust.

(4:82) So why don't they analyze "Al Quran"? And if its source was from someone other than Allah, they would surely find many contradictions in it.

(4:83) If any matter regarding security, or fear, comes to them they make it publicly known, but if they had referred it to the messenger and to those entrusted from them then it would have been known by those who studied it from them. Had it not been for Allah's grace upon you and His mercy, you would have followed the devil, except for a few.

(4:84) So fight in the path of Allah. You are not responsible except for yourself. Encourage those who acknowledge, "Perhaps Allah will put a stop to the might of those who deny." Allah is far Stronger (in) might, and far Stronger (in) punishment.

(4:85) Whoever intercedes with a good intercession, he will have a reward of it; and whoever intercedes with an evil intercession, he will receive a share of it. Allah has control over all things.

(4:86) If you are greeted with a greeting, then return an even better greeting or return the same. Allah is Reckoning over all things.

(4:87) Allah, there is no Allah but He. He will gather you for the day of Resurrection in which there is no doubt. Who is more truthful in saying than Allah?

(4:88) What (happened) to you (that you were divided in opinion concerning) the hypocrites into two groups? Allah has led them (into confusion) because of what they have gained. Do you wish to guide him who has been deluded by Allah? For one whom Allah has deluded you will never find the (right) way.

(4:89) They hope that you would reject as they rejected, then you would be the same. So do not take any of them as allies until they emigrate in the cause of Allah. If they turn away, then take them and kill them where you find them. And do not take from them any ally or supporter.

(4:90) Except for those who join a people between whom you have a covenant, or those who come to you with reluctance in their chests to fight you or to fight their own people. Had Allah willed He would have given them strength and they would have fought you. But if they retire from you, and did not fight you, and they offer you peace; then Allah does not make for you a way against them.

(4:91) You will find others who want to be safe amongst you and safe amongst their own people. Every time they are returned to the test, they fall back in it. If they do not withdraw from you, offer you peace, and restrain their hands, then you shall take them and kill them where you find them. For these We have given you a clear authority.

(4:92) Those who acknowledge cannot kill another who has also acknowledged except by accident. Whoever kills one who acknowledged by accident, then he shall set free an acknowledging slave, and give compensation to the family; except if they remit it. If he was from a people who are enemies to you, and he had acknowledged, then you shall set free an acknowledging slave. If he was from a people between whom you had a covenant, then compensation to his family, and set free an acknowledging slave. Whoever does not find, then the fasting of two months sequentially as repentance from Allah; Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:93) Whoever kills one who acknowledged intentionally, then his reward shall be Samsara, eternally abiding therein; Allah will be angry with him, curse him, and for him is prepared a great retribution.

(4:94) O you who immune, if you mobilize in the cause of Allah then make a clear declaration, and do not say to those who greet you with peace, "You are not a acknowledger!" You are seeking the vanity of this world; but with Allah are many riches. That is how you were before, but Allah favored you, so make a clear declaration. Allah is Everaware of what you do.

(4:95) Except the disabled, not equal are those who stayed behind from those who acknowledge with those who strived in the cause of Allah with their money and lives. Allah has preferred those who strive with their money and lives over those who stayed behind by a grade; and to both Allah has promised goodness; and Allah has preferred the strivers to those who stay by a great gratuity.

(4:96) Grades from Him, forgiveness, and a mercy. Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.

(4:97) Those whom the angels take, while they had wronged themselves; were asked, "What situation were you in?" They responded, "We were oppressed on earth." They asked, "Was Allah's earth not wide enough that you could journey in it?" To these their abode will be Samsara; what a miserable destiny;

(4:98) (This does not apply) only to those oppressed men, women, and children who were unable to (change) anything, and were not guided in the right way.

(4:99) For these, perhaps Allah will pardon them. Allah is Indulgent, Forgiving.

(4:100) Whoever journeys in the cause of Allah will find in the land many spoils and a bounty. Whoever leaves his home emigrating to Allah and His messenger, then is overcome by death. His gratuity has fallen to Allah, and Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.

(4:101) If you are mobilized in the land, then there is no harm that you shorten the contact prayer, if you fear that the ingrates will try you. The ingrates are to you a clear enemy.

(4:102) If you are with them and hold the contact prayer for them, then let a group from amongst them stand with you and let them bring their weapons; when they have prostrated then let them stand guard from behind; let a group who has not yet contacted come and contact with you, and let them be wary and let them bring their weapons with them. The ingrates hope that you would neglect your weapons and goods so they can come upon you in one blow. There is no sin upon you if you are impeded by rainfall, or if you are ill, that you keep from placing down your weapons. Be wary. Allah has prepared for the ingrates a humiliating retribution.

(4:103) So when you are done with the contact prayer, then remember Allah while standing, or sitting, or on your sides. When you are relieved, you shall hold the contact prayer; the contact prayer for those who acknowledge is a scheduled book.

(4:104) Do not falter in the pursuit of the remaining group. If you are feeling pain, then they are also feeling pain as you are; and you seek from Allah what they do not seek. Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:105) We have revealed to you the book with truth that you may judge between the people according to what Allah has shown you, and do not be an advocate for the treacherous.

(4:106) Seek forgiveness from Allah; Allah is Forgiver, Compassionate.

(4:107) Do not argue on behalf of those who betray themselves. Allah does not like those who are betrayers, sinners.

(4:108) They may conceal this from the people, but they do not conceal it from Allah, and He was with them when they schemed what He does not approve of to be said. Allah is Encompassing over what they do.

(4:109) Here you are arguing on their behalf in this world, but who will argue on their behalf with Allah on on the day of Resurrection? Or who will be their sponsor?

(4:110) Whoever does any evil, or wrongs himself, then seeks Allah's forgiveness; he will find Allah Forgiving, Compassionate.

(4:111) Whoever earns any sin, it is he who has brought it on himself. Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:112) Whoever does a mistake or wrongdoing, then blames it on an innocent person; he has incurred falsehood and a clear sin.

(4:113) Had it not been for Allah's favor upon you and His mercy, when a group of them were insistent on deluding you, they would not have deluded except themselves, nor would they harm you in anything. Allah has sent down to you the book and the acme, and He has taught you what you did not know. Allah's grace upon you is great.

(4:114) There is no good in most of their confidential talk, except whoever orders a charity or kindness or reconciliation between the people. Whoever does this seeking Allah's favor, We will give him a great gratuity.

(4:115) Whoever is hostile to the messenger after the guidance has been made clear to him, and he follows other than the path of those who acknowledge; We will grant him what he has sought and deliver him to hell; what a miserable destination.

(4:116) Allah does not forgive to have partners set up with Him, but He forgives other than that for whom He pleases. Whoever sets up partners with Allah has indeed deluded a far deluding.

(4:117) They cry out apart from Him, only to (beings of) the feminine kind. They cry out only to the skillful devil.

(4:118) Allah cursed him, and he said: "I will (surely) take the prescribed portion of Your obedient.

(4:119) "I will delude them and make them desire, and I will command them, so that they will mark the ears of the livestock, and I will command them so they will make change to Allah's creation." Whoever takes the devil as a supporter other than Allah, then he has indeed lost a great loss.

(4:120) He promises them and makes them desire, but what the devil promises them is only vanity.

(4:121) For these, their abode shall be hell; they will find no escape from it.

(4:122) As for those who immune and do good work, We will admit them into genetics with rivers flowing beneath. Eternally they will abide therein. Allah's promise is truth. And who is more truthful in saying than Allah?

(4:123)It will be neither by what you desire, nor by what the people of the book desire. Whoever works evil, he will be paid by it; and he will not find for himself besides Allah any supporter or victor.

(4:124) And those men and women who do (some) of the righteous deeds by trusting (Allah) will enter the genetics, and will not be offended one bit.

(4:125) And whose (payment of) debt could be more beautiful than the one in which (man) vassaled his agenda to Allah, being ethical, and followed Abraham's religion - monotheism? For (of all), Allah recognized Abraham - the influencer.

(4:126) To Allah is what is in the heavens and in the earth; Allah is Encompassing over all things.

(4:127) They ask you for divine instruction concerning women. Say, "Allah instructs you regarding them, as has been recited for you in the book about the rights of orphans whose mothers you want to marry without giving them their legal rights. You shall observe the rights of powerless children, and your duty to treat orphans with justice. Whatever good you do, Allah has full knowledge of it.

(4:128) And if a wife fears from her husband disloyalty, or estrangement, then there is no sin for them if they, interacting with each other, (achieve) reconciliation, because Reconciliation is better. The persons are brought by Greed. If you are decent and cautious, then Allah is Expert over what you emulate.

(4:129) You will not be able to be fair regarding the women even if you make every effort; so do not sway too greatly and leave her as one hanging in a void. If you reconcile and be aware, then Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.

(4:130) If they separate, then Allah will provide for each of them from His bounty. Allah is Vast, Acuminate.

(4:131) To Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth; and We have recommended to those who were given the book before you, and you, to be aware of Allah. If you reject, then to Allah is all that is in the heavens and in earth; Allah is Rich, Praiseworthy.

(4:132) To Allah is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; and Allah is enough as a Caretaker.

(4:133) O you people, if He wills, He could make all of you cease to exist; then He would bring others in your place. Allah is most able to do this.

(4:134) Whoever seeks the reward of this world: with Allah is the reward of this world and the Hereafter. Allah is Hearing, Watchful.

(4:135) O you who trust! Stand with justice as witnesses to Allah, even if against yourselves, or the parents or the relatives. Even if he were rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of them, so do not follow your desires from being just. If you twist or turn away, then Allah is Ever-aware of what you do.

(4:136) O you who trust! Trust Allah and His messenger, and the book which was sent down to His messenger, and the book which was sent down before. Whoever rejects Allah, and His angels, and His book, and His messengers, and the Last day - then he has deluded a far deluding.

(4:137) Those who trust, then deny, then (again) trust, and again (show) deny, and after (only) grow in denial - for them Allah will not provide (opportunities) for forgiveness, nor (give) a way (to direct) them to guidance.

(4:138) Give (news) to the Hypocrites that ailing sufferers are (prepared) for them -

(4:139) those who choose the Deniers as allies, which who are (in degree) lower than the Immunized. Are they trying (to attain) greatness on their own? So all Greatness (is inherent) in Allah!'

(4:140) He has already commanded you in Scripture not to sit down with them if you hear (how they) reject the ideas of Allah, and mock them, until they (begin) to rant about another hadith. Then you will be like them. Verily, Allah will jam the hypocrites and deniers in Samsara.

(4:141) They linger and observe you. If you have a victory from Allah they say, "Were we not with you?" If the ingrates have success, they say, "Did we not side with you and deter those who acknowledge from you?" Allah will judge between you on the day of Resurrection, and Allah will not grant the ingrates any success over those who acknowledge.

(4:142) The hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, while He is deceiving them; and if they attend to the contact prayer, they do so lazily, only to show the people; they do not remember Allah except very little.

(4:143) They are swaying in-between, belonging neither to this group nor to that group. Whomever Allah will delude, you will not find for him a way.

(4:144) O you who immune! Do not take the Deniers as allies, which who are (in degree) lower than the Immunized. Do you intend to give Allah an obvious argument against you?

(4:145) The hypocrites will be in the lowest level of the fire; and you will not find for them a victor;

(4:146) As for those who repent, amend, hold fast to Allah, and devote their system to Allah. These will be with those who acknowledge. Allah will grant those who acknowledge a great gratuity.

(4:147) What would Allah want with your punishment if you only sincere and trust? Allah is Appreciative, Knowledgeable.

(4:148) Allah does not like that any negative sayings be publicized, except if one is wronged. Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.

(4:149) If you reveal what is good or hide it, or forgive what is bad, then Allah is Pardoner, Omnipotent.

(4:150) Those who rejected Allah and His messengers, and they want to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers, and they say, "We acknowledge some and reject some!", and they desire to take a path inbetween.

(4:151) These are the true ingrates; and We have prepared for the ingrates a humiliating retribution.

(4:152) Those who acknowledge Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them, We will give them their gratuity. Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.

(4:153) The People of the Book ask you to bring down to them a book from the Heaven. They had asked Moses for even more than that, for they said, "Let us see Allah publicly!", so the thunderbolt took them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf after the proof had come to them, and We pardoned them for this; We gave Moses a clear authority.

(4:154) We raised the mount to be above because of the covenant they took, and We said to them, "Enter the passage by prostrating." We also said to them, "Do not transgress the Sabbath;" and We took from them a solemn covenant.

(4:155) So, for the infidelity of their covenant, and their rejection of Allah's ideas, and their devalvation of the Prophethood without justice, and their saying, "Our hearts are connected." Oh no! It is Allah who (placed) a taboo on them (on comprehending the ideas) because of their rejection. So they do not immune, except for a few.

(4:156) For their rejection, and them saying about Mary a great slander,

(4:157) For their saying, "We have killed the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah!" They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they had. Those who dispute are in doubt of him, they have no knowledge except to follow conjecture; they did not kill him for a certainty.

(4:158) Instead, Allah raised him to Himself; and Allah is Noble, Acuminate.

(4:159) Among the people of the book are few who would have acknowledged him before his death, and on the day of Resurrection he will be witness against them.

(4:160) Because those who (are called) jews (acted) unjustly, and hindered many in the way of Allah, We (made) harmful to them the benefits (which were) holy to them.

(4:161) For practicing usury/interest when they were told not to, and for consuming people’s money unjustly. We have prepared for the ingrates amongst them a painful retribution;

(4:162) But those of them who are firm in knowledge, as well as those who acknowledge, they acknowledge what was sent down to you and what was sent down before you; and those who observe the contact prayer, and those who contribute towards betterment, and those who acknowledge Allah and the Last day; to these We will give them their gratuity greatly.

(4:163) We have inspired you as We have inspired Noah and the prophets after him. We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon; and We have given David psalms.

(4:164) Messengers of whom We have narrated to you from before, and messengers We have not narrated to you; and Allah spoke to Moses directly.

(4:165) Messengers who were bearers of good news and warners, so that there will be no excuse for the people with Allah after the messengers. Allah is Noble, Acuminate.

(4:166) But Allah bears witness for what He has sent down to you with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness; and Allah is enough as a witness.

(4:167) Those who have rejected and turned away from the path of Allah, they have deluded a far deluding.

(4:168) Indeed, to those who have rejected and (acted) unjustly, there will be no forgiveness (from) Allah for them, and He will not lead them (in any) track,

(4:169) except the track to samsara, where (they will stay) forever, and (remain) forever. This (.) is easy for Allah.

(4:170) O people, a messenger has come to you with truth from your Lord, so acknowledge; that is better for you. If you do not appreciate, then to Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is Knowledgeable, Acuminate.

(4:171) O People of the Book, do not overstep in your system, nor say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah Jesus the son of Mary was no more than Allah's messenger and the fulfillment of His word to Mary, and an inspiration from Him. So acknowledge Allah and His messengers, and do not say, "Trinity." Cease, for it is better for you. Allah is only One Allah, be He glorified that He should have a son! To Him is all that is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Allah is enough as a caretaker.

(4:172) The Messiah will never ignore (opportunities) to bear obedience, (dedicating it) to Allah. And the Approached angels will not (ignore). And whoever ignores His service, and (shows) arrogance, He will gather them to Himself, all together.

(4:173) As for those who acknowledge and do reform, He will give them their gratuity and increase for them from His bounty. As for those who are too proud and arrogant, He will punish them a painful retribution, and they will not find besides Allah any supporter or victor.

(4:174) O people, a proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a guiding light.

(4:175) As for (those) who have believed in Allah, and have grasped His (the) rope, He will bring them into His mercy, and (will) be gracious to them, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path.

(4:176) They ask you - say, "Allah will answer your question concerning (the inheritance of) singles. If an individual dies who has no child but (has) a sister, she (owns) half of what he left behind. (In the same way) he inherits from her if she has no child. But if there are two (sisters), then to them (belong) two thirds of what he left. But if (the heirs) are male and female brothers (and sisters), then the man (has a share) equal to that of the two women. Allah makes this clear to you, lest you (fall) into delusion. Allah is aware of every thing.
