| For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful | 'If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked |
|---|---|
| for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light! - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst | But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life |
Or the Unbelievers' state is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by dark clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! Deem not the summons of the Messenger among yourselves like the summons of one of you to another: Allah doth know those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse: then let those beware who withstand the Messenger's order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them.
| Thus does Allah make clear the signs to you: that ye may understand | And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum , give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you |
|---|---|
| turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss | let those whom your right hands possess, and the children among you who have not come of age ask your permission before they come to your presence , on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress: outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom |
Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.
