النحل
Verse 115

إِنَّما حَرَّمَ عَلَيكُمُ المَيتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحمَ الخِنزيرِ وَما أُهِلَّ لِغَيرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضطُرَّ غَيرَ باغٍ وَلا عادٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

He only forbade you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and what has been consecrated to other than God. But if one is compelled by necessity, without willful disobedience or transgression, God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Verse 116

وَلا تَقولوا لِما تَصِفُ أَلسِنَتُكُمُ الكَذِبَ هـٰذا حَلالٌ وَهـٰذا حَرامٌ لِتَفتَروا عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَفتَرونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ لا يُفلِحونَ

Don’t say, falsely, with your tongues: “This is lawful, and this is unlawful,” in order to invent lies about God. Those who fabricate lies against God don’t succeed.

Verse 117

مَتاعٌ قَليلٌ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

A brief enjoyment, then they will have a severe punishment.

Verse 118

وَعَلَى الَّذينَ هادوا حَرَّمنا ما قَصَصنا عَلَيكَ مِن قَبلُ ۖ وَما ظَلَمناهُم وَلـٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

We’ve detailed to you the prohibitions imposed on the Jews; We didn’t wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

Verse 119

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذينَ عَمِلُوا السّوءَ بِجَهالَةٍ ثُمَّ تابوا مِن بَعدِ ذٰلِكَ وَأَصلَحوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعدِها لَغَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

As for those who commit evil deeds inadvertently, but later repent and reform, your Lord, after that, is Forgiving and Merciful.

إِنَّ إِبراهيمَ كانَ أُمَّةً قانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنيفًا وَلَم يَكُ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Abraham was an exemplary leader, devoutly obedient to God, a monotheist, and he wasn’t among the polytheists.

Verse 121

شاكِرًا لِأَنعُمِهِ ۚ اجتَباهُ وَهَداهُ إِلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ

Being appreciative of His blessings, He chose him and guided him to a straight path.

Verse 122

وَآتَيناهُ فِي الدُّنيا حَسَنَةً ۖ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصّالِحينَ

We granted him goodness in this life, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the righteous.

Verse 123

ثُمَّ أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ أَنِ اتَّبِع مِلَّةَ إِبراهيمَ حَنيفًا ۖ وَما كانَ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Then, We revealed to you: Follow the religious path of Abraham, the devout monotheist, who was not of the polytheists.”

Verse 124

إِنَّما جُعِلَ السَّبتُ عَلَى الَّذينَ اختَلَفوا فيهِ ۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحكُمُ بَينَهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ فيما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

The Sabbath was only instituted for those in dispute over it. Your Lord will resolve their disputes on Resurrection Day.

Verse 125

ادعُ إِلىٰ سَبيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالحِكمَةِ وَالمَوعِظَةِ الحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجادِلهُم بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُهتَدينَ

Invite to the path of your Lord through wisdom and kind advice, and engage in discussions in the most courteous manner. Your Lord knows best who strays from His path, and He knows best those who are rightly guided.
