The “Three Months”, which started in the month of Rajab, is a precious time zone for the Islamic world. During this period, you can find some of the remarkable verses from the Holy Quran in the blog series “A Lot Changes When You Realize”, which is inspired by the “100BinDost” project.
“Can the One Who creates be equal to those who do not? Will you not then be mindful?” (An-Nahl, 17), and by endeavoring to read and understand the verses, we aim to complete the book by the end of Ramadan. This series, which will be categorized according to the titles of the surahs, may have the quality of raising awareness for many of us. In this article, you can find some of the other verses of Surah An- Nisa and Al- Ma’idah. Enjoy your reading!
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
An- Nisa ✨
6. Test the competence of the orphans until they reach marriageable age. Then if you feel they are capable of sound judgment, return their wealth to them. And do not consume it wastefully and hastily before they grow up to demand it. If the guardian is well-off, they should not take compensation; but if the guardian is poor, let them take a reasonable provision. When you give orphans back their property, call in witnesses. And sufficient is Allah as a vigilant Reckoner.
10. Indeed, those who unjustly consume orphans’ wealth in fact consume nothing but fire into their bellies. And they will be burned in a blazing Hell!
17. Allah only accepts the repentance of those who commit evil ignorantly or recklessly then repent soon after Allah will pardon them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
26. It is Allah’s Will to make things clear to you, guide you to the noble ways of those before you, and turn to you in mercy. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
28. And it is Allah’s Will to lighten your burdens, for humankind was created weak.
31. If you avoid the major sins forbidden to you, We will absolve you of your lesser misdeeds and admit you into a place of honor.
32. And do not crave what Allah has given some of you over others. Men will be rewarded according to their deeds and women equally according to theirs. Rather, ask Allah for His bounties. Surely Allah has perfect knowledge of all things.
40. Indeed, Allah never wrongs anyone even by an atom’s weight. And if it is a good deed, He will multiply it many times over and will give a great reward out of His grace.
49. Have you O Prophet not seen those who falsely elevate themselves? It is Allah who elevates whoever He wills. And none will be wronged even by the width of the thread of a date stone.
56. Surely those who reject Our signs, We will cast them into the Fire. Whenever their skin is burnt completely, We will replace it so they will constantly taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
57. As for those who believe and do good, We will admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever and ever. There they will have pure spouses, and We will place them under a vast shade.
69. And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous what honourable company!
78. Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, O Prophet, “Both have been destined by Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything!
80. Whoever obeys the Messenger has truly obeyed Allah. But whoever turns away, then know that We have not sent you O Prophet as a keeper over them.
81. And they say, “We obey,” but when they leave you, a group of them would spend the night contradicting what they said. Allah records all their schemes. So turn away from them, and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
85. Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share in the reward, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in the burden. And Allah is Watchful over all things.
86. And when you are greeted, respond with a better greeting or at least similarly. Surely Allah is a vigilant Reckoner of all things.
94. O believers! When you struggle in the cause of Allah, be sure of who you fight. And do not say to those who offer you greetings of peace, “You are no believer!” seeking a fleeting worldly gain. Instead, Allah has infinite bounties in store. You were initially like them then Allah blessed you with Islam. So be sure! Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
100. Whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find many safe havens and bountiful resources throughout the earth. Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allah and His Messenger their reward has already been secured with Allah. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
110. Whoever commits evil or wrongs themselves then seeks Allah’s forgiveness will certainly find Allah All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
114. There is no good in most of their secret talks except those encouraging charity, kindness, or reconciliation between people. And whoever does this seeking Allah’s pleasure, We will grant them a great reward.
122. And those who believe and do good, We will soon admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever and ever. Allah’s promise is always true. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s?
132. To Allah, alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
140. He has already revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s revelations being denied or ridiculed, then do not sit in that company unless they engage in a different topic, or else you will be like them. Surely Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell.
142. Surely the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but He outwits them. When they stand up for prayer, they do it half-heartedly only to be seen by people hardly remembering Allah at all.
144. O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Would you like to give Allah solid proof against yourselves?
147. Why should Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful? Allah is ever Appreciative, All-Knowing.
163. Indeed, We have sent revelation to you O Prophet as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, as well as Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms.
165. All were messengers delivering good news and warnings so humanity should have no excuse before Allah after the coming of the messengers. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
171. O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfillment of His Word through Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.
173. As for those who believe and do good, He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. But for those who are too proud and arrogant, He will subject them to a painful punishment. And besides Allah they will find no protector or helper.
Al- Ma’idah ✨
8. O believers! Stand firm for Allah and bear true testimony. Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice. Be just! That is closer to righteousness. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
9. Allah has promised those who believe and do good His forgiveness and a great reward.
35. O believers! Be mindful of Allah and seek what brings you closer to Him and struggle in His Way, so you may be successful.
40. Do you not know that the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone? He punishes whoever He wills and forgives whoever He wills. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
51. O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians they are guardians of each other. Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
52- 53. You see those with sickness in their hearts racing for their guardianship, saying in justification, “We fear a turn of fortune will strike us.” But perhaps Allah will bring about your victory or another favor by His command, and they will regret what they have hidden in their hearts. Only then, the believers will ask one another, “Are these the ones who swore solemn oaths by Allah that they were with you?” Their deeds have been in vain, so they have become losers.
54. O believers! Whoever among you abandons their faith, Allah will replace them with others who love Him and are loved by Him. They will be humble with the believers but firm towards the disbelievers, struggling in the Way of Allah; fearing no blame from anyone. This is the favour of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.
55-56. Your only guardians are Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers who establish prayer and pay alms-tax with humility. Whoever allies themselves with Allah, His Messenger, and fellow believers, then it is certainly Allah’s party that will prevail.
65. Had the People of the Book only been faithful and mindful of Allah, We would have certainly absolved them of their sins and admitted them into the Gardens of Bliss.
69. Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians, and Christians whoever truly believe in Allah and the Last Day and does good, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
75. The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. Many messengers had come and gone before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them, yet see how they are deluded from the truth!
76-77. Say, O Prophet, “How can you worship besides Allah those who can neither harm nor benefit you? And Allah alone is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” Say, “O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes in your faith beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of those who went astray before you. They misled many and strayed from the Right Way.”
88. Eat of the good, lawful things provided to you by Allah. And be mindful of Allah in Whom you believe.
90-91. O believers! Intoxicants, gambling, idols, and drawing lots for decisions are all evil of Satan’s handiwork. So shun them so you may be successful. Satan’s plan is to stir up hostility and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling and to prevent you from remembering Allah and praying. Will you not then abstain?
101. O believers! Do not ask about any matter which, if made clear to you, may disturb you. But if you inquire about what is being revealed in the Quran, it will be made clear to you. Allah has forgiven what was done in the past. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
120. To Allah alone belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything within. And He is Most Capable of everything.
