THE MEANINGS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN
BY
ABDULLAH YUSUFALI



021.022  If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides God, there  would have been confusion in both! but glory to God, the Lord of the Throne:  (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!

002.163  And your God is One God: There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most  Merciful.

002.164  Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the  night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of  mankind; in the rain which God Sends down from the skies, and the life which He
gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that
are wise.

003.079  It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and  the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than God's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."

059.007    And whatever the messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, keep back (therefrom). And reverence God, for God is strict in punishment.

005.003    This day, have I perfected for you your faith, and completed My blessings upon you, and have accepted for you Al0Islam as a religion.

022.005  O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We  created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in
pairs).

002.048  Then guard yourselves against a day when one soul shall not avail another  nor shall intercession be accepted for her, nor shall compensation be taken from her,  nor shall anyone be helped (from outside).

023.001  The believers must (eventually) win through,-
023.002  Those who humble themselves in their prayers;
023.003  Who avoid vain talk;
023.004  Who are active in deeds of charity;
023.005  Who abstain from sex,
023.006  Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame,
023.007  But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;-
023.008  Those who faithfully observe their trusts and their covenants;
023.009  And who (strictly) guard their prayers;-
023.010  These will be the heirs,
023.011  Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein (for ever).

003.110  Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them
are perverted transgressors.

003.104  Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.

016.125  Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.

003.103  And hold fast, all together, by the rope which God (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude God's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye
became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.

049.010  The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear God, that ye may receive Mercy.

003.064  Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to God's Will).

003.065  Ye People of the Book! Why dispute ye about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding?

006.108  Revile not ye those whom they call upon besides God, lest they out of spite revile God in their ignorance. Thus have We made alluring to each people its own doings. In the end will they return to their Lord, and We shall then tell them the truth
of all that they did.

020.081  (Saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed!

007.032  Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of God, which He hath produced for His servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He hath provided) for sustenance? Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and)
purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand.

007.033  Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to God, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about God
of which ye have no knowledge.

002.188  And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people's property.

005.032. On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

002.256  Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand- hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.

049.013  O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who
is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

070.024  And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
070.025  For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking)

004.058  God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due; And when ye judge between man and man, that ye judge with justice: Verily how excellent is the teaching which He giveth you! For God is He Who heareth and seeth all things.

004.135  O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye
swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

016.097  Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.

033.035  For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give
in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God's praise,- for them has God prepared forgiveness and great reward.

004.007  From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the property be small or large,-a determinate share.

060.008  God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just.

060.009  God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these
circumstances), that do wrong.

008.061  But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).
