Verse 151

قُل تَعالَوا أَتلُ ما حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُم عَلَيكُم ۖ أَلّا تُشرِكوا بِهِ شَيئًا ۖ وَبِالوالِدَينِ إِحسانًا ۖ وَلا تَقتُلوا أَولادَكُم مِن إِملاقٍ ۖ نَحنُ نَرزُقُكُم وَإِيّاهُم ۖ وَلا تَقرَبُوا الفَواحِشَ ما ظَهَرَ مِنها وَما بَطَنَ ۖ وَلا تَقتُلُوا النَّفسَ الَّتي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلّا بِالحَقِّ ۚ ذٰلِكُم وَصّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَ

Say, “Come, I will recite what your Lord prohibited for you: don’t associate anything with Him; honor your parents; don’t kill your children from fear of poverty—We provide for you and them; don’t approach immoralities, whether open or secret; and don’t take a life that God deemed sacred, except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, so you may know.”

Verse 152

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.

Verse 153

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.

Verse 154

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.

Verse 155

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.”

Verse 157

أَو تَقولوا لَو أَنّا أُنزِلَ عَلَينَا الكِتابُ لَكُنّا أَهدىٰ مِنهُم ۚ فَقَد جاءَكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِن رَبِّكُم وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ ۚ فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَّبَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنها ۗ سَنَجزِي الَّذينَ يَصدِفونَ عَن آياتِنا سوءَ العَذابِ بِما كانوا يَصدِفونَ

Or perhaps you might say, “Had the Scripture been revealed to us, we would’ve been more rightly guided than they.” Now, clear evidence, guidance, and mercy have come to you from your Lord. Who is more unjust than one who denies God’s messages and turns away from them? We will repay those who turn away from Our revelations with the severest punishment, because of their turning away.

Verse 158

هَل يَنظُرونَ إِلّا أَن تَأتِيَهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ أَو يَأتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَو يَأتِيَ بَعضُ آياتِ رَبِّكَ ۗ يَومَ يَأتي بَعضُ آياتِ رَبِّكَ لا يَنفَعُ نَفسًا إيمانُها لَم تَكُن آمَنَت مِن قَبلُ أَو كَسَبَت في إيمانِها خَيرًا ۗ قُلِ انتَظِروا إِنّا مُنتَظِرونَ

Are they awaiting the descent of the angels, the arrival of your Lord Himself, or the manifestation of some of your Lord’s signs? On the day when some of these signs from your Lord do appear, faith won’t benefit any soul which didn’t believe before, or which didn’t earn any good by its faith. Say, “Wait; we, too, are waiting.”

Verse 159

إِنَّ الَّذينَ فَرَّقوا دينَهُم وَكانوا شِيَعًا لَستَ مِنهُم في شَيءٍ ۚ إِنَّما أَمرُهُم إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِما كانوا يَفعَلونَ

As for those who divided their religion and became denominations, you have no association with them. Their case rests with God, and He will then inform them about their deeds.

Verse 160

مَن جاءَ بِالحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشرُ أَمثالِها ۖ وَمَن جاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلا يُجزىٰ إِلّا مِثلَها وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ

Whoever presents a good deed will receive a tenfold equivalent. But whoever commits evil acts will only be repaid equivalently and won’t be wronged.

Verse 161

قُل إِنَّني هَداني رَبّي إِلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ دينًا قِيَمًا مِلَّةَ إِبراهيمَ حَنيفًا ۚ وَما كانَ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Say, “My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the community of Abraham the Monotheist, who wasn’t among the polytheists.”
