وَعَلَى الَّذينَ هادوا حَرَّمنا كُلَّ ذي ظُفُرٍ ۖ وَمِنَ البَقَرِ وَالغَنَمِ حَرَّمنا عَلَيهِم شُحومَهُما إِلّا ما حَمَلَت ظُهورُهُما أَوِ الحَوايا أَو مَا اختَلَطَ بِعَظمٍ ۚ ذٰلِكَ جَزَيناهُم بِبَغيِهِم ۖ وَإِنّا لَصادِقونَ

To those who are Jewish, We prohibited every animal with uncloven hooves; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails, or what’s mixed with bone. Thus, We penalized them for their rebelliousness. We are truthful.

فَإِن كَذَّبوكَ فَقُل رَبُّكُم ذو رَحمَةٍ واسِعَةٍ وَلا يُرَدُّ بَأسُهُ عَنِ القَومِ المُجرِمينَ

If they accuse you of lying, say, “Your Lord is the possessor of vast mercy, but His punishment won’t be averted from guilty people.”

سَيَقولُ الَّذينَ أَشرَكوا لَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما أَشرَكنا وَلا آباؤُنا وَلا حَرَّمنا مِن شَيءٍ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم حَتّىٰ ذاقوا بَأسَنا ۗ قُل هَل عِندَكُم مِن عِلمٍ فَتُخرِجوهُ لَنا ۖ إِن تَتَّبِعونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِن أَنتُم إِلّا تَخرُصونَ

Those who associate others will say, “If God had willed, we wouldn’t have associated anything with Him, nor would our forefathers, nor would we have prohibited anything.” Likewise, those who came before them also denied until they tasted Our punishment. Say, “Do you have any knowledge you can present to us? You are just following speculation, and you do nothing but lie.”

قُل فَلِلَّهِ الحُجَّةُ البالِغَةُ ۖ فَلَو شاءَ لَهَداكُم أَجمَعينَ

Say, ”With God lies the decisive argument. Had He willed, He would have guided you all.”

قُل هَلُمَّ شُهَداءَكُمُ الَّذينَ يَشهَدونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هـٰذا ۖ فَإِن شَهِدوا فَلا تَشهَد مَعَهُم ۚ وَلا تَتَّبِع أَهواءَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا وَالَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ وَهُم بِرَبِّهِم يَعدِلونَ

Say, “Bring forth your witnesses who can testify that God has forbidden this.” If they do testify, don’t testify with them. And don’t follow the inclinations of those who deny Our signs, those who don’t believe in the Hereafter, those who equate others with their Lord.

وَلا تَقرَبوا مالَ اليَتيمِ إِلّا بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ حَتّىٰ يَبلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ ۖ وَأَوفُوا الكَيلَ وَالميزانَ بِالقِسطِ ۖ لا نُكَلِّفُ نَفسًا إِلّا وُسعَها ۖ وَإِذا قُلتُم فَاعدِلوا وَلَو كانَ ذا قُربىٰ ۖ وَبِعَهدِ اللَّهِ أَوفوا ۚ ذٰلِكُم وَصّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ

And don’t come near the wealth of the orphan, except in the best manner, until he reaches maturity. Give full measure and weight in justice. We never burden a soul beyond its capacity. And when you speak, be just, even if it concerns a close relative. And fulfill your covenant with God. This, He has commanded you, so you may avoid wrongdoing.

وَأَنَّ هـٰذا صِراطي مُستَقيمًا فَاتَّبِعوهُ ۖ وَلا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُم عَن سَبيلِهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُم وَصّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَتَّقونَ

This is My path, straight, so follow it. Don’t follow other paths, for they will lead you astray from His path. God has commanded this to you, so you may refrain from wrongdoing.

ثُمَّ آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ تَمامًا عَلَى الَّذي أَحسَنَ وَتَفصيلًا لِكُلِّ شَيءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةً لَعَلَّهُم بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم يُؤمِنونَ

We gave Moses the Scripture, complete for those who do good, explaining all things, as guidance and mercy, so they may believe in the encounter with their Lord.

وَهـٰذا كِتابٌ أَنزَلناهُ مُبارَكٌ فَاتَّبِعوهُ وَاتَّقوا لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

And this is a blessed Scripture that We revealed. Follow it and be righteous, so you may receive mercy.

أَن تَقولوا إِنَّما أُنزِلَ الكِتابُ عَلىٰ طائِفَتَينِ مِن قَبلِنا وَإِن كُنّا عَن دِراسَتِهِم لَغافِلينَ

Lest you say, “The Scripture was revealed to two communities before us, and we were unaware of their teachings.”
