4:1  Oh people, beware of your Lord who created you from a single soul and created from it its partner and spread from them both numerous men and women, and beware of Allah through whom you have claims on each other and (respect) relationships, for Allah watches over you.
4:2  And give the orphans their property and do not exchange bad for good and do not consume their property with your property, for it is a great sin.
4:3  And if you fear that you cannot do justice to the orphans, then marry from the women permitted to you, two, three and four, and if you fear that you cannot be fair, then one, or one who is in your possession, that is closer to you avoiding transgression.
4:4  And give the women their (marriage) gifts willingly, but if they make some of it permissible to you themselves, then consume it legitimately and content.
4:5  And do not give the mentally unable your property which Allah has given you as maintenance, and provide for them and clothe them and say to them appropriate words.
4:6  And put the orphans to the test until, when they reach (the age of) marriage, if you observe maturity in them, then give them their property, and do not consume it wastefully and in a hurry before they come of age, and whoever is rich, let him abstain, and whoever is poor, let him consume what is appropriate, and when you give them their property, have it witnessed against them, and Allah is sufficient for keeping count.
4:7  For men there is a share of what parents and relatives leave behind and for women there is a share of what parents and relatives leave behind, be it little or much, a mandatory share.
4:8  And when the relatives and orphans and poor are present during the division, then provide for them from it and say to them appropriate words.
4:9  And let them fear for them as if they had left weak offspring behind themselves, and let them beware of Allah and let them speak within the limits.
4:10  Those who consume the property of the orphans wrongfully, they eat fire into their bellies, and they will reach the blaze.
4:11  Allah prescribes inheritance for you regarding your children, for a male is the equivalent of the share of two females, and if there are more than two women, then theirs is a third of what he leaves behind, and if there is one, then hers is half, and for his two parents, for each of them is a sixth of what he leaves behind if he has children, and if he does not have children and his parents inherit from him, then for his mother there is a third, and if he has siblings, then for his mother there is a sixth after any will he has made or debt; your parents and your children, you do not know who is of more benefit to you. This is an obligation from Allah, for Allah is knowledgeable and wise.
4:12  And for you is half of what your wives leave behind if they do not have children, and if they have children, then for you is a fourth of what they leave behind after any will they have made or debt, and theirs is a fourth of what you leave behind if you have no children, and if you have children, then theirs is an eighth of what you leave behind after any will you have made or debt; and if a man or woman leaves inheritance without parents or children and has a brother or sister, then for each of them is a sixth, and if there are several of them, then they share in a third after any will which has been made or debt, without causing harm, a prescriptive inheritance from Allah, and Allah is knowledgeable and lenient.
4:13  These are the limits of Allah, and who obeys Allah and His messengers, He will enter him into gardens through which rivers flow where they will remain, and that is the ultimate success.
4:14  And who disobeys Allah and His messenger and transgresses His limits, He will enter him into a fire to remain in it forever and his is a humiliating punishment.
4:15  And for those of your women who commit adultery, let four from amongst you witness against them, and if they witnessed, then keep them in their homes until death overtakes them or Allah provides a way out for them.
4:16  And challenge the two who commit it, but if they repent and make amends, then let them be, for Allah is accepting, merciful.
4:17  Repentance is only accepted by Allah from those who do bad due to ignorance and then repent soon after, Allah accepts it from those, and Allah is knowledgeable and wise.
4:18  Repentance is not accepted from those who do bad deeds until when death approaches one of them he says: I repent now; nor from those who die whilst rejecting (the truth). For those We have promised a painful punishment.
4:19  Oh you believers, it is not permissible for you to inherit women forcibly, and do not prevent them from marrying in order to take away some of that which you have given them, unless they commit evident adultery. And give them appropriate company, and should you resent them, then it may be that you resent something wherein Allah has placed much good.
4:20  And if you wish to exchange a wife for another, and you have given one of them a treasure, then do not take anything from it; are you going to take it by way of deception and evident sin?
4:21  And how can you take it when one of you has already spent time with the other and they have taken from you a binding promise?
4:22  And do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what has gone before, for it is an indecency, abhorrence and bad way.
4:23  Forbidden to you are your mothers, daughters, sisters, paternal aunts, maternal aunts, brother´s daughters, sister´s daughters, nursing mothers, nursing siblings, mother-in-laws and the step-daughters from the women in your household with whom you have cohabited, and if you have not cohabited with them, then there is no sin against you, and your daughter-in-laws and that you should keep two sisters (simultaneously), except what has gone before, and Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:24  And the chaste women except what is in your possession, a prescription of Allah for you, and anything beyond that is permitted for you to seek out with your wealth, chaste and not through fornication, and give those whom you have made lawful their marital gifts by way of obligation, and there is no sin upon you in whatever you are content with beyond the obligation, for Allah is knowledgeable and wise.
4:25  And who amongst you does not have the means to marry free believing women, then from amongst what is in your possession of the believing servants, and Allah knows your faith best, you all share a common origin, so marry them with the permission of their family and give them their marital gifts appropriately, as long as they are chaste, not given to prostitution nor fornication, so when they are married and then commit adultery, then their punishment is half that of free women; this if for him amongst you who fears hardship, but to have patience is better for you, and Allah is forgiving and merciful.
4:26  Allah wills to explain it to you and guide you the paths of those before you and turn back to you, and Allah is knowledgeable and wise.
4:27  And Allah wants to turn back to you, and those who follow desires want you to stray badly.
4:28  Allah wants to make it light for you, and man was created weak.
4:29  Oh you believers, do not consume your wealth between yourselves ignorantly, but it should only be by way of trade you have consented to, and do not kill your own, Allah is merciful with you.
4:30  And who does so in enmity and oppression, We will soon burn him in fire, that is easy for Allah.
4:31  If you avoid the major ones which you have been forbidden, We cancel your (minor) bad deeds and give you an honoured entry.
4:32  And do not wish for what Allah has favoured with some of you above others; for men there is a share of what they have earned and for women there is a share of what they have earned, and ask Allah of His favour for Allah knows all things.
4:33  And in each case We have assigned somebody to inherit what parents and relatives leave behind, and give to those to whom you have made promises their share, for Allah witnesses everything.
4:34  Men look after women on account of what Allah has favoured some of them above others and of what they spend from their property, so the righteous women are humble and preserve in absence that which Allah has preserved, and those of whom you fear rebellion, admonish them and ban them from your beds and slap them, and if they obey you then don´t seek a way against them, for Allah is elevated and great.
4:35  And if you fear a break-up between the two, then send a referee from his family and a referee from her family, if the two want reconciliation, then Allah will make them agree, for Allah is knowledgeable and informed.
4:36  And serve Allah and do not associate anything with Him, and goodness to parents and relatives and the orphans and the poor and the immediate neighbour and distant neighbour and anybody you share company with and the traveller and those in your possession, for Allah does not love one who is arrogant and boastful.
4:37  Those who are mean and command people to be mean and hide what Allah has given them of His favours, and We have prepared for those who reject (the truth) a humiliating punishment.
4:38  And those who spend their wealth to be seen by people and do not believe in Allah nor the last day; to whom the devil is an associate - what a bad associate.
4:39  And what harm would it have done them if they believed in Allah and the last day and spent of that what Allah provided for them, and Allah knows about them.
4:40  Allah does not wrong by the weight of a tiny speck, and if it is good, he multiplies it and gives an immense reward from Himself.
4:41  So how will it be when We bring a witness from every community and bring you as a witness against these?
4:42  On that day those who reject (the truth) and disobeyed the messenger wish for the earth to be flattened with them and they will not hide a word from Allah.
4:43  Oh you believers, do not come near prayer whilst you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying, and not whilst in a state of sexual impurity until you have showered, except when on a journey, and if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the toilet or you have touched women and you do not find water, then look for clean soil and wipe over your faces and hands, for Allah is lenient, forgiving.
4:44  What do you make of those who were given a portion of the Book and purchase (with it) error and want you to go astray?
4:45  Allah knows your enemies best, and Allah is sufficient as protector and Allah is sufficient as helper.
4:46  Of those who are Jews and twist the meaning of words and say "we listen and disobey" and "listen without being listened to", with smooth tongues whilst attacking the religion, and had they said "we listen and obey" and "listen and pay attention to us" it would have been better for them and more upright, but Allah has cursed them due to their denial and they do not believe but a little.
4:47  Oh you who were given the book, believe in what We have revealed, confirming that which is with you, before We disfigure faces so they are turned back to front or curse them like We cursed the companions of the Sabbath, and Allah´s command will be carried out.
4:48  Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him and forgives anything else to whom He wants, and who associates anything with Allah has already invented a tremendous sin.
4:49  What do you make of those who declare themselves pure? and Allah purifies whom He wants and they will not be wronged the least.
4:50  See how they invent lies against Allah, and that is sufficient as an apparent sin.
4:51  What do you make of those who were given a portion of the book believing in magicians and fortune tellers and saying to those who reject (the truth) that they are better guided on a way than the believers?
4:52  Those are the ones Allah has cursed, and whom Allah curses, you will find no helper for him.
4:53  Or do they own a share in the kingdom; and if so, they wouldn´t give people the tiniest bit.
4:54  Or do they envy people for what Allah has given them from His favours? We gave the family of Ibrahim (Abraham) the book and the wisdom and gave them a mighty kingdom.
4:55  And amongst them there is he who believes in Him and amongst them there is he who turns away from Him, and hell is sufficient as a fire.
4:56  Those who reject Our signs, We will burn them in fire; each time their skins are cooked, We will replace them with different skins for them so they taste the punishment. Allah is mighty and wise.
4:57  And those who believe and do good work, We will enter them into gardens through which rivers flow where they will remain forever, they have purified partners there and We will shade them with (abundant) shade,
4:58  Allah commands you to return items given in trust to their owners and if you judge between people to judge with justice, beneficial is what Allah admonishes you with, for Allah listens and sees.
4:59  O you believers, obey Allah and obey the messenger and those placed in authority from amongst you, and if you dispute about something then refer it to Allah and the messenger if you believe in Allah and the last day, that is better and better in outcome.
4:60  What do you make of those who claim that they believe in what has been revealed to you and what has been revealed before you, wanting to seek judgement from fortune tellers yet were commanded to reject that, and the devil wants to send them far astray.
4:61  And when it is said to them: come to that which Allah has revealed and to the messenger, you see the pretenders oppose you entirely.
4:62  So how will it be if an affliction befalls them on account of what they have sent ahead and then they come to you swearing by Allah that we only wanted goodness and reconciliation.
4:63  Those are the ones of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them and admonish them and say profound words to them about themselves.
4:64  And We did not send a messenger except that he be obeyed by Allah´s permission, and if they had after wronging themselves come to you and asked Allah for forgiveness and the messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah accepting and merciful.
4:65  But no, by your Lord, they do not believe until they seek your judgement in what they dispute about between themselves and then do not find within themselves any resentment to what you have decided and submit fully.
4:66  And if We had prescribed for them to kill your own or to leave your houses, they would not have done it, with the exception of a few of them, but if they had done what they were admonished with it would have been better for them and of greater firmness.
4:67  And We would then have given them from Us an immense reward.
4:68  And We would have guided them on a straight path.
4:69  And whoever obeys Allah and the messenger, those are amongst those whom Allah has favoured from amongst the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and righteous, and those are excellent companions.
4:70  This is a favour from Allah, and Allah is sufficient in knowledge.
4:71  Oh you believers, be on your guard and move out in groups or move out altogether.
4:72  And among you is the one who stays behind, and if an affliction befalls you he says: Allah has favoured me for not having been a martyr with them.
4:73  And if generosity from Allah befalls you, he will say - as if there had been no love between you and him: if only I was with them and had achieved a tremendous success.
4:74  So let those fight in the way of Allah who buy with the worldly life the hereafter, and who fights in the way of Allah and then is killed or overcomes, We will soon give him an immense reward.
4:75  And what is the matter with you that you do not fight in the way of Allah and for the weak amongst the men and women and children who say: our Lord, take us out from this town of wrongdoing people and assign us a protector from You and assign us a helper from You?
4:76  Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who reject (the truth) fight in the way of the idols, so fight the allies of the evil one, for the plot of the devil is weak.
4:77  What do you make of those who were told to hold back and keep up prayer and give Zakah, then when fighting was prescribed for them a group amongst them feared people like the fear for Allah or in greater fear and said: our Lord, why did You prescribe fighting for us, why did You not leave us a little longer? Say: the provision of the world is small, and the hereafter is better for him who bewares (of Allah) and you will not be wronged the least.
4:78  Wherever you are death will reach you even if you were in fortified towers, and when good befalls them they say this is from Allah, and when bad befalls them they say this is from you, say: all is from Allah, so what is (wrong) with these people that they hardly understand a word?
4:79  Whatever good befalls you is from Allah, and whatever bad befalls you is from yourself, and We have sent you to mankind as a messenger and Allah is sufficient as a witness.
4:80  Whoever obeys the messenger has already obeyed Allah, and whoever turns away, We did not send you as a guardian over them.
4:81  They say obedience, then when they depart from you a group of them contrive something other than what they say, and Allah writes down what they contrive, so turn away from them and rely on Allah, and Allah is sufficient to be relied upon.
4:82  Do they not reflect on the Qur´an? If it were from other than Allah, they would have found many contradictions in it.
4:83  And when a matter regarding security or danger is presented to them, they publicise it, and if they had referred it to the messenger and those placed in authority from amongst them, those who analyse it amongst them would have known it, and if Allah´s favour and mercy was not on you, you would follow the devil except for a few.
4:84  So fight in the way of Allah, you have only been charged with your own self, and encourage the believers, maybe Allah will avert the harm of those who reject (the truth), and Allah is more severe in harm and more severe in repulsion.
4:85  Whoever encourages a good deed will profit from it, and whoever encourages a bad deed will be burdened by it, and Allah has power over all things.
4:86  And if you are greeted with a greeting, respond with a better one or return it, for Allah counts everything.
4:87  Allah, there is not god but Him, He will gather you towards the day of resurrection without doubt, and who is more truthful in speech than Allah?
4:88  So what is the matter with you that you are two groups concerning the pretenders when Allah has thrown them back for what they have earned. Do you want to guide whom Allah has let go astray? And whom Allah has let go astray, you will not find a way for him.
4:89  They want you to reject (the truth) like they rejected it so that you would be equal, so do not take allies from them until they migrate in the way of Allah, and if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you apprehend them and do not take from them a protector nor helper.
4:90  Except those who are connected to people with whom you have a treaty or come to you with no inclination of fighting you or fighting their people, and if Allah wanted He would have given them power over you and they would have fought you. So if they leave you alone and do not fight you and offer peace to you, then Allah does not give you a way against them.
4:91  You will find others who seek protection from you and seek protection from their people. Each time they return to temptation they fall back into it, so if they do not leave you and offer peace to you and keep off, then seize them and kill them wherever you apprehend them, and Allah has given you clear authority over those.
4:92  And it is not permitted for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And who kills a believer by mistake, then the freeing of a believing prisoner and direct compensation to his family are due unless they cancel it as charity; and if he is from a people who are an enemy to you and he is a believer, then the freeing of a believing prisoner, and if he is from a people with whom you have a treaty, then direct compensation to his family and the freeing of a believing prisoner, and who does not find the means, then fasting of two consecutive months as repentance offered from Allah, and Allah is knowledgeable and wise.
4:93  And whoever kills a believer deliberately, his reward is hell where he remains forever, and Allah is angry with him and curses him and has prepared for him severe punishment.
4:94  Oh you believers, when you go out in the way of Allah then make sure and do not say to anyone who offers you peace ´You are not a believer´, desiring the offering of this world when with Allah there is plenty of gain; you yourselves were like this before, then Allah bestowed His favours on you, so make sure, for Allah is aware of what you do.
4:95  Not alike are those who sit back amongst the believers without excuse and those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah has set those who strive with their wealth and their lives a stage above those who sit back, and to all Allah has promised good, and Allah has preferred those who strive over those who sit back with an immense reward.
4:96  Stages from Him and forgiveness and mercy, and Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:97  Those whom the angels receive at death whilst they were wronging themselves, saying: what were you up to?, they say: we were weak on earth, they say: was not Allah´s earth spacious so you could migrate in it? - the abode of those is hell, a bad destination.
4:98  Except those who are weak amongst men, women and children and cannot do anything nor find a way.
4:99  Those Allah may let off, and Allah is lenient, forgiving.
4:100  Whoever migrates in the way of Allah will find plenty of refuge and facility on earth, and whoever leaves his home migrating towards Allah and His messenger and then death overcomes him, his reward will already be present with Allah, and Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:101  And when you travel on the earth it is no sin for you to shorten the prayer if you fear that those who reject (the truth) will harm you, for those who reject are clear enemies to you.
4:102  And when you are amongst them and lead the prayer for them, then let a group of them stand with you and let them take their weapons, and when they prostrate then let them be behind you and let another group who have not yet prayed pray with you and take their guard and weapons. Those who reject (the truth) would love you to be careless about your weapons and provisions so that they strike you at a single blow. And there is no sin upon you if you are troubled by rain or if you are ill that you lay down your weapons, but be on your guard, Allah has promised to those who reject (the truth) a humiliating punishment.
4:103  And when you have finished the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting and lying down, and when you are safe, then keep up prayer, for the prayer is a timed obligation for believers.
4:104  And do not lose heart when pursuing people, if you are suffering, then they suffer as you suffer, and you look forward to from Allah what they do not look forward to, and Allah is knowledgeable, wise.
4:105  We revealed to you the book with truth so that you judge between people with what Allah has shown you and do not argue on behalf of those who deceive.
4:106  And seek forgiveness from Allah, for Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:107  And do not dispute on behalf of those who deceive themselves, for Allah does not love the deceiving and sinful.
4:108  They try to hide from people but cannot hide from Allah and He is with them when they contrive unacceptable statements, and Allah surrounds what they do.
4:109  Are you the ones who dispute on behalf of them in this world? Then who will dispute on their behalf on the day of resurrection or who will be their representative?
4:110  And whoever does harm or wrongs himself and then seeks Allah´s forgiveness, Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:111  And whoever commits a sin, commits it against himself, and Allah is knowledgeable, wise.
4:112  And whoever commits an error or a sin and then blames it on an innocent person, he is guilty of slander and a tremendous sin.
4:113  And if Allah´s favour and mercy was not with you, a group of them would have attempted to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray and they do not harm you at all, and Allah has revealed to you the book and the wisdom and taught you what you did not know, and Allah´s favour on you is immense.
4:114  There is no good in many of their secret meetings except for him who commands charity or good conduct or peace-making between people, and whoever does that seeking the contentment of Allah, He will soon give him an immense reward.
4:115  And whoever breaks away from the messenger after the guidance has become clear to him and follows a way other than that of the believers, We turn him to where he wants to turn and make him enter hell, a bad destination.
4:116  Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him and forgives anything else to whom He wants, and who associates anything with Allah has gone far astray.
4:117  They call only unto idols instead of Him and they call only unto a rebellious devil.
4:118  Allah cursed him and he said I will take an allocated share of Your servants.
4:119  I will lead them astray, and I will give them hope, and I will order them to cut off the ears of cattle, and I will order them to alter the creation of Allah; and whoever takes the devil as a protecting friend instead of Allah, he is already in clear loss.
4:120  He promises them and gives them hope, and the devil only promises them an illusion.
4:121  The abode of those is hell, and they will not find an escape from it.
4:122  And those who believe and do good work, We will enter them into gardens through which rivers flow where they will remain forever - a promise from Allah, and who is more truthful in speech than Allah!
4:123  It is not in accordance with your hopes or the hopes of the people of the Book; whoever does harm will be punished for it and will not find any protecting friend or helper instead of Allah.
4:124  And whoever does good work, whether male or female, and is a believer, those will enter the garden (of paradise) and will not be wronged the tiniest bit.
4:125  And who has a better system than who submits his orientation to Allah and does good and follows the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham), sincerely devoted, and Allah took Ibrahim as a friend.
4:126  And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and what is on earth, and Allah surrounds all things.
4:127  They seek a ruling from you about women, say Allah will give you a ruling about them and what has been recited to you in the Book about female orphans whom you do not give what has been allocated for them when you want to marry them and about the weak amongst children and that you should treat the orphans with fairness, and whatever good you do, Allah knows of it.
4:128  And if a woman fears from her husband mistreatment or abandonment, then it is no sin upon them if they make an arrangement between themselves, and an arrangement is better, and selfishness is present in all souls, and if you do good and beware then Allah knows what you do.
4:129  And you will not be able to act justly between women even if you tried, so be not completely partial leaving her like suspended, and if you make an arrangement and beware, then Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:130  And if they both separate, then Allah will enrich each in means, and Allah is full of means, wise.
4:131  And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and what is on earth, and We already instructed those to whom the Book was given before you and yourselves to beware of Allah, and if you reject (the truth), then to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and what is on earth, and Allah is rich and praiseworthy.
4:132  And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and what is on earth, and Allah is sufficient to be relied upon.
4:133  If He pleases, oh people, He will take you away and replace you with others, and Allah is capable of doing that.
4:134  Whoever wants the reward of this world, with Allah is the reward of this world and the hereafter, and Allah listens and sees.
4:135  Oh you believers, be upright with fairness as witnesses for Allah even if it be against yourselves or your parents and relatives; if either be rich or poor, Allah is nearest to both of them, so do not follow inclination in order to act justly, and if you lean towards or turn away from one, then Allah knows what you do.
4:136  Oh you believers, believe in Allah and His messenger and the Book which He has revealed to His messenger and the Book which He has revealed before, and who rejects Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers and the last day, he has already gone far astray.
4:137  Those who believe, then reject (the truth), then believe, then reject (it), then increase in rejection, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them on a way.
4:138  Announce to the pretenders that for them is a painful punishment.
4:139  Those who take the rejecters (of the truth) as protecting friends instead of the believers; do they seek strength from them, when all strength belongs to Allah?
4:140  And He has already revealed to you in the Book that if you hear Allah´s signs rejected and made fun of, then do not sit with them until they engage in a different conversation, for you are otherwise like them, for Allah will gather all the pretenders and rejecters in hell.
4:141  Those who wait what happens to you, and if you have victory from Allah they say: were we not with you?, and if the rejecters have success they say: did we not assist you and protect you against the believers? So Allah will judge between them on the day of resurrection, and Allah will not make way for the rejecters against the believers.
4:142  The pretenders try to cheat Allah and He cheats them, and when they stand for prayer they stand lazy, wanting to be seen by people, and remember Allah only little.
4:143  Torn in between, belonging neither to these nor those, and whom Allah has let go astray, you will not find a way for him.
4:144  Oh you believers, do not take the rejecters as protecting friends instead of the believers, do you want to give Allah clear authority over you?
4:145  The pretenders are at the lowest level of the fire and you will not find a helper for them.
4:146  Except for those who repent and do good deeds and hold on to Allah and make their religion sincere for Allah, and Allah will soon give the believers an immense reward.
4:147  Allah will not bring about your punishment if you are grateful and believe, and Allah appreciates and knows.
4:148  Allah does not love evil to be talked about except by one who has been wronged, and Allah hears and knows.
4:149  If you do good openly or secretly or let go of an evil deed, Allah is lenient and powerful.
4:150  Those who reject Allah and His messengers and want to make a difference between Allah and His messengers and say we believe in some and reject some and want to take a way in between;
4:151  Those are the true rejecters, and We have promised the rejecters a humiliating punishment.
4:152  And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a difference between any of them, He will soon give them their rewards, and Allah is forgiving, merciful.
4:153  The people of the Book ask you that a book be sent down from the sky for them, and they asked even greater things of Musa (Moses) before and said "show us Allah openly", then the lightning struck them because of their wrongdoing, then they took the calf after clear signs had come to them, then we forgave that and gave Musa (Moses) clear authority.
4:154  And we raised the mountain above them for their agreement and said to them: "Enter the gate submissively", and we said to them: "Do not violate the Sabbath", and we took a binding agreement from them.
4:155  And because they fell short on their agreement and rejected the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right and said: "Our hearts are protected", but Allah sealed them due to their rejection, so they do not believe but little.
4:156  And because they rejected (the truth) and uttered against Maryam (Mary) a serious slander.
4:157  And they said we killed the Messiah ´Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), the messenger of Allah, and they did not kill him and did not crucify him, but it appeared to them as if, and those who argue about him are unsure about it, they have no knowledge about it but only follow assumptions, and they did not kill him for sure.
4:158  But Allah raised him to Himself, and Allah is mighty, wise.
4:159  And there is none amongst the people of the Book who will not believe in him before his death, and on the day of resurrection he will be a witness against them.
4:160  And because of the wrongdoing of the Jews we made unlawful for them good provision which was made lawful for them, and because of their frequent diverting from of the way of Allah.
4:161  And because they took interest when it had been forbidden to them and consumed the property of people without justification, and We promised the rejecters amongst them a painful punishment.
4:162  However, those amongst them who are grounded in knowledge and are believers who believe in what has been revealed to you and what has been revealed before you and keep up prayer and give Zakat and believe in Allah and the last day, to those we will give an immense reward.
4:163  We have given revelation to you as We have given revelation to Nuh (Noah) and the prophets after him, and we have given revelation to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma´il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya´qub (Jacob) and the tribes and ´Isa (Jesus), and Ayyub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron) and Sulayman (Solomon) and gave Dawud (David) the Psalms.
4:164  And to messengers whom We have told you about before and to messengers We have not told you about, and Allah spoke to Musa (Moses) directly.
4:165  Messengers bringing good news and warnings so that people would not have an argument against Allah after the messengers, and Allah is mighty, wise.
4:166  But Allah is a witness that what He revealed to you He revealed with His knowledge, and the angels are witnesses, and Allah is sufficient as a witness.
4:167  Those who reject (the truth) and divert from the way of Allah have already gone far astray.
4:168  Those who reject (the truth) and do wrong, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them a path.
4:169  Except the path to hell where they will remain forever, and that is easy for Allah.
4:170  Oh people, the messenger has already come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe, it is better for you. And if you reject (the truth), then to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and Allah is knowledgeable, wise.
4:171  Oh people of the book, do not transgress in your religion and do not say anything about Allah except the truth, indeed the Messiah ´Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), is a messenger of Allah and a word He gave to Maryam and a breath of life from Him; so believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say Three, stop, it is better for you, for Allah is one god, glorified is He above having a son, His is whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and Allah is sufficient to be relied upon.
4:172  The Messiah is not too proud to be a servant of Allah, nor are the closest angels, and whoever is too proud to serve Him and is arrogant, He will round them all up before Him.
4:173  Then those who believe and do good work, He will give them their reward in full and give them an increase of His favours, and those who are too proud and arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment and they will not find for themselves a protector or helper besides Allah.
4:174  Oh people, a proof from your Lord has already come to you and We have sent down to you a clear light.
4:175  So those who believe in Allah and hold on to Him, He will enter them into mercy and favours from Him and guide them on a straight path to Himself.
4:176  They ask you for a ruling, say Allah gives you a ruling on childlessness, if a man dies and has no child and he has a sister, then for her is half of what he leaves behind, and he inherits from her if she has no child, and if there is two of them (sisters), then for the two of them is two thirds of what he leaves behind, and if there are male and female siblings, then for the male is the share of two females. Allah explains to you so you do not go astray, and Allah knows everything.
