An-Nisa 4:155–176

(Then because of their breaking of their covenant) We did with them that which We have done, (and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah) and due to their disbelief in Muhammad and the Qur'an the capitation tax was imposed on them, (and their slaying) and because of their slaying (of the Prophets wrongfully) without any right, We destroyed them, (and their saying) and because of their saying: (Our hearts are hardened) our hearts can absorb any kind of knowledge but we cannot understand what you say and the knowledge you have brought (Nay, but Allah hath set a seal upon them) in fact, it is not as they say, but Allah has set a seal on their hearts (for their disbelief) in Muhammad and the Qur'an, (so that they believe not) in Muhammad and the Qur'an (save a few) 'Abdullah Ibn Salam and his followers.

(And because of their disbelief) in Jesus and the Gospel (and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny) the calumny for which We have turned them into swine;

(And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger) Allah destroyed their man Tatianos. (They slew him not nor crucified, but it appeared so unto them) Allah made Tatianos look like Jesus and so they killed him instead of him; (and lo! those who disagree concerning it) concerning his killing (are in doubt thereof) in doubt about his killing; (they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture) not even conjecture; (they slew him not for certain) i.e. certainly they did not kill him,

(But Allah took him up unto Himself) in heaven. (Allah was ever Mighty) in His vengeance against His enemies, (Wise) by granting triumph to his friends: He saved His Prophet and destroyed their man.

(There is not one of the People of the Scripture) the Jews and Christians (but will believe in him) in Jesus, that he was not a sorcerer, Allah, His son or His partner (before his death) after the soul of Jesus expires, that is after he comes down again and then dies after every single Jew in their time, (and on the Day of Resurrection he) Jesus (will be a witness against them) through delivery of the message.

(Because of the wrong-doing of the Jews We forbade them good things which were (before) made lawful unto them, and because of their much hindering from Allah's way) and because of their hindering the mention of Allah's Religion,

(And of their taking usury) of their making usury lawful (when they were forbidden it) in the Torah, (and of their devouring) and because of their consumption of (people's wealth by false pretences) through transgression and bribery, We forbade them the fat which covers the stomach and bowels and the meat and milk of camels, which were before lawful for them. (We have prepared for those of them who disbelieve) among the Jews (a painful doom) the pain of which will reach to their hearts.

(But those of them) of the people of the Book: 'Abdullah Ibn Salam and his followers who believe in the Qur'an and all Scripture even if the Jews did not believe in the former (who are firm in knowledge) knowledge of the Torah (and the believers) all the believers (believe in that which is revealed unto thee) of the Qur'an, (and that which was revealed before thee) unto all the prophets, (especially the diligent in prayer) those who perfect their five daily prayers (and those who pay the poor-due) from their wealth also believe in the Qur'an and all the Scriptures, (the believers in Allah and the Last Day) the believers in resurrection after death also believe in the Qur'an and all Scriptures. All these believe in the Qur'an and all Scriptures even if the Jews do not believe in them. Allah then explained their reward, saying: (Upon these We shall bestow immense reward) an abundant reward in Paradise.

(Lo! We inspire you) We have sent Gabriel with the Qur'an (as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him) after Noah, (as We inspired Abraham) We also sent Gabriel to Abraham (and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes) the sons of Jacob, (and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as We imparted) We gave (unto David the Psalms);

(And messengers We have mentioned unto thee) by name (before and messengers We have not mentioned) by name (unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto Moses);

(Messengers) We have sent all these messengers (of good cheer) giving the good news of Paradise for those who believe (and of warning) of hell for those who disbelieve in Allah, (in order that mankind might have no argument) on the Day of Judgement (against Allah after the messengers) after sending the messengers, such that they cannot say: You have not sent us any messenger. (Allah was ever Mighty) in His vengeance against those who do not believe in His messenger, (Wise) He decreed that they should believe in the messengers.

Then Allah revealed about the people of Mecca when they said to the Prophet: we have asked the people of the Book about you and none of them testifies that you are a prophet sent by Allah, by saying: (But Allah (Himself) testifieth) even if no one else testifies (concerning that which He hath revealed unto thee) the Qur'an that Gabriel brought you; (in His knowledge) by His command (hath He revealed it; and the Angels also testify) testify to this. (And Allah is sufficient Witness) even if no one else besides Him testifies.

(Lo! those who disbelieve) in Muhammad and the Qur'an (and hinder) people (from the way of Allah) from Allah's religion and His obedience, (they verily have wandered far astray) from guidance.

(Lo! those who disbelieve) in Muhammad and the Qur'an (and deal in wrong) these are those who ascribe partners to Allah, (Allah will never forgive them) as long as they are thus, (neither will He guide them unto a road) a road of guidance.

(Except the road of hell, wherein they will abide for ever) they will remain in hell, never to die or be taken out of it. (And that) abiding in hell for eternity and punishment of these people (is ever easy for Allah).

(O mankind!) O people of Mecca (The messenger) Muhammad (hath come unto you with the Truth) with the declaration of Allah's divine Oneness and the Qur'an (from your Lord. Therefore believe) in Muhammad and the Qur'an; ((it is) better for you) than that which you are in now. (But if ye disbelieve) in Muhammad and the Qur'an, (still, lo! Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth) they are all His bondsmen and bondswomen. (Allah is ever Knower) of those who believe and those who do not, (Wise) in that He ordained that they should not worship other than Him.

Allah then revealed about the Nestorian Christians of Najran who claimed that Jesus was the son of Allah and that Jesus and the Lord are partners, saying: (O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate) do not be extreme (in your religion) for this is not the right course (nor utter aught concerning Allah save the Truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary) and through His word he became a created being, (and a spirit from Him) and through His command, Jesus became a son without a father. (So believe in Allah and His messengers) all the messengers including Jesus, (and say not �Three�) a son, father and wife. (Cease!) from making such a claim and repent ((it is) better for you!) than such a claim. (Allah is only One God) without a son or partner. (Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth) are His servants. (And Allah is sufficient as Defender) as Lord of all created beings and He is witness of what He says about Jesus.

(The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah) he will never not acknowledge his servitude to Allah. This was revealed in respect of the Christians saying to the Prophet: �O Muhammad, what you say of Jesus is shameful�. Allah said to them: it is not shameful that Jesus be the servant of Allah, (nor will the favoured angels) nor would the favoured angels, the carriers of the Throne, ever not acknowledge that they are servants of Allah. (Whoso scorneth His service) whoever scorns to acknowledge that being his servant (and is proud) is too proud to believe in Allah, (all such) believers and unbelievers (will He assemble unto Him) on the Day of Judgement.

(Then, as for those who believed) in Muhammad and the Qur'an (and did good works) acts of obedience in that which is between them and their Lord, (unto them will He pay their wages) their reward in Paradise (in full, adding unto them of His bounty) of His favour; (and as for those who were scornful and proud) too proud to believe in Muhammad and the Qur'an, (them will He punish with a painful doom). (And they will not find for them, against Allah, any protecting friend) any relative to benefit them (or helper) to save them from Allah's punishment.

(O mankind!) O people of Mecca! (Now hath a proof from your Lord) a messenger from your Lord: Muhammad (pbuh) (come unto you, and We have sent down unto you) unto your Prophet (a clear light) a Scripture that exposits that which is lawful and that which is unlawful;

(As for those who believe in Allah) as well as in Muhammad and the Qur'an, (and hold fast unto Him) and hold fast to believing in Allah's divine Oneness, (them He will cause to enter into His mercy) in Paradise (and grace) and they shall also receive His honour, (and will guide them unto Him by a straight road) He will confirm them on a straight path in this world. He says: He will confirm them in this world in faith and will enter them into Paradise in the Hereafter.

(They ask thee for a pronouncement) O Muhammad. This verse was revealed about Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari who asked the Prophet (pbuh): I have a sister. What do I inherit from her if she dies? So Allah said: they ask you, O Muhammad, about the inheritance of al-Kalalah (Say: Allah hath pronounced for you) Allah clarifies for you (concerning distant kindred) concerning the inheritance of al-Kalalah which is anyone other than the father and the son. He said: (If a man dies childless) and his father is also deceased (and he has a sister) a full sister, or half sister from his father's side, (hers is half the heritage) left by the deceased person, (and he would have inherited from her had she died childless) without sons or daughters. (And if there be two sisters) full sisters or half sisters from the father's side, (then theirs are two-thirds of the heritage) that the deceased person has left behind, (and if they be brethren, men and women) male or female, full siblings or half siblings from the father, (unto the male is the equivalent of the share of two females. Allah expoundeth unto you) the division of estates, (so that ye err not) in the division of estates. (Allah is Knower of all things) of the divisions of estates and other things'.
