Verse 94

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لَيَبلُوَنَّكُمُ اللَّهُ بِشَيءٍ مِنَ الصَّيدِ تَنالُهُ أَيديكُم وَرِماحُكُم لِيَعلَمَ اللَّهُ مَن يَخافُهُ بِالغَيبِ ۚ فَمَنِ اعتَدىٰ بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

O you who believe, God will test you through some game animals that your hands and spears obtain. In this manner, God distinguishes those who fear Him unseen. Whoever transgresses after this will have a severe punishment.

Verse 95

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَقتُلُوا الصَّيدَ وَأَنتُم حُرُمٌ ۚ وَمَن قَتَلَهُ مِنكُم مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزاءٌ مِثلُ ما قَتَلَ مِنَ النَّعَمِ يَحكُمُ بِهِ ذَوا عَدلٍ مِنكُم هَديًا بالِغَ الكَعبَةِ أَو كَفّارَةٌ طَعامُ مَساكينَ أَو عَدلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيامًا لِيَذوقَ وَبالَ أَمرِهِ ۗ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَمّا سَلَفَ ۚ وَمَن عادَ فَيَنتَقِمُ اللَّهُ مِنهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزيزٌ ذُو انتِقامٍ

O you who believe, don’t kill game while you are in the state of pilgrimage sanctity. Whoever among you kills it intentionally, the penalty is a domestic animal, equivalent to the one he killed, judged by two just men among you, to be delivered to the Kaaba as an offering, or expiation by feeding the needy, or its equivalent in fasting, so that he may taste the consequences of his action. God has pardoned what is past. But whoever repeats it, God will take retribution from him. God is Mighty, Capable of Retribution.

Verse 96

أُحِلَّ لَكُم صَيدُ البَحرِ وَطَعامُهُ مَتاعًا لَكُم وَلِلسَّيّارَةِ ۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيكُم صَيدُ البَرِّ ما دُمتُم حُرُمًا ۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذي إِلَيهِ تُحشَرونَ

The catch of the sea and its food is permissible for you, a provision for you and for travelers. But you are forbidden to hunt on land while you are in the state of pilgrimage sanctity. Fear God, before whom you will be gathered.

Verse 97

جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الكَعبَةَ البَيتَ الحَرامَ قِيامًا لِلنّاسِ وَالشَّهرَ الحَرامَ وَالهَديَ وَالقَلائِدَ ۚ ذٰلِكَ لِتَعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعلَمُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ

God has designated the Kaaba, the Sacred House, as a sanctuary for people, along with the sacred months, the sacrificial animals, and the garlands. This is so that you may know that God knows what’s in the heavens and on earth, and that God is All-Knowing of all things.

Verse 98

اعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَديدُ العِقابِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Know that God is severe in penalty, yet also Forgiving and Merciful.

ما عَلَى الرَّسولِ إِلَّا البَلاغُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ ما تُبدونَ وَما تَكتُمونَ

The sole duty of the Messenger is to convey the message. God knows what you reveal and what you keep hidden.

Verse 100

قُل لا يَستَوِي الخَبيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ وَلَو أَعجَبَكَ كَثرَةُ الخَبيثِ ۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يا أُولِي الأَلبابِ لَعَلَّكُم تُفلِحونَ

Say, “Insincerity and sincerity aren’t equal, even if the abundance of insincerity may impress you. So, revere God, O people of discernment, so you may thrive.”

Verse 101

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَسأَلوا عَن أَشياءَ إِن تُبدَ لَكُم تَسُؤكُم وَإِن تَسأَلوا عَنها حينَ يُنَزَّلُ القُرآنُ تُبدَ لَكُم عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنها ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ حَليمٌ

O you who believe, don’t inquire about matters that, if they were made apparent to you, may distress you. But if you ask about them while the Quran is being revealed, they will be made clear to you. God has pardoned that; God is Forgiving and Forbearing.

Verse 102

قَد سَأَلَها قَومٌ مِن قَبلِكُم ثُمَّ أَصبَحوا بِها كافِرينَ

Some people before you did ask such questions, and then became unbelievers because of it.

Verse 103

ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ مِن بَحيرَةٍ وَلا سائِبَةٍ وَلا وَصيلَةٍ وَلا حامٍ ۙ وَلـٰكِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يَفتَرونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ ۖ وَأَكثَرُهُم لا يَعقِلونَ

God didn’t institute the superstitions of Bahirah, Saibah, Wasilah, or Hami. Those who disbelieve invent lies about God, and most of them lack understanding.

Verse 104

وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُم تَعالَوا إِلىٰ ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ وَإِلَى الرَّسولِ قالوا حَسبُنا ما وَجَدنا عَلَيهِ آباءَنا ۚ أَوَلَو كانَ آباؤُهُم لا يَعلَمونَ شَيئًا وَلا يَهتَدونَ

When called to what God revealed and to the Messenger, they say, “What we found our ancestors following is good enough for us.” Even if their ancestors had no knowledge or guidance?
