[4:1] O you people, fear your Lord, the one who created you from a single soul and created from her, her mate and spread from the two of them many men and women. And you shall fear God, the one whom you and your relatives have to answer to. Indeed God is Ever Watchful over you.

[4:2] And give the fatherless their money and do not exchange the good for the evil. And do not consume their money along with your money. Indeed it is a great sin.

[4:3] And if you fear that you may not be equitable towards the fatherless, then you shall marry from the women, those who are pleasing to you, two, three or four. However, if you fear that you may not be able to maintain equality, then continue with one or whatever you already have. It is better that you do not have too many wives.

[4:4] You shall give the women their due alms without reservation. And if they forfeit something on their own volition, then you can consume it as you see fit.

[4:5] And do not give the mentally challenged the money that God has entrusted with you as guardians and provide for them therewith, and clothe them and speak to them amicably.

[4:6] And test the fatherless until they reach puberty, then if you feel that they are mature enough, you shall release their money to them. And do not consume it excessively and hastily while they are growing up. As for the one who is rich, then he should forfeit. As for the one who is poor then he should consume in a fair manner. When you give them their money, you shall then have it witnessed. And God is sufficient as a reckoner.

[4:7] For men there shall be a share of what parents and the relatives leave behind and so for the women, there shall be a share of what parents and the relatives leave behind be it small or large. This is a decreed share.

[4:8] And at the time of distribution if the relatives, the fatherless and the needy are present, you shall provide for them therefrom and speak to them nicely.

[4:9] And indeed those who are fearful of leaving small children behind and are afraid for them, shall fear God, and shall speak in a straightforward manner.

[4:10] Indeed those who consume money belonging to the fatherless unjustly are consuming fire in their bellies and will be thrown in Hell.

[4:11] God decrees a will for your children. The male shall receive twice as the female. If they are all females more than two, then they shall receive two thirds of what is left. And if there is only one, she shall receive half. As for the parents, each shall receive one-sixth of what is left behind if he has children. However, if he does not have children, then the mother gets a third. If he has siblings, then the mother gets one-sixth. This is after any will he has left or any debt. As for your parents and your children, you do not know which ones are closer to you and more beneficial. This is a decree from God. Indeed God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:12] Furthermore, you shall get half of what your wives leave behind if they do not have any children. However if they have children then you shall receive one-fourth of what they leave behind. This is after any will they have left behind or any debt. And they shall receive one-fourth of what you leave behind if you do not have any children. However, if you have children then they shall receive one-eighth of what you leave behind. This is after any will you have left behind or any debt. If the man or the woman is unmarried, and there is a brother or a sister, then each one shall receive one-sixth. However, if there is more than that, then they shall share one-third. This is after any will which is left behind or any debt so that no harm is done. This is a will from God. Moreover, God is All Knowing, Clement.

[4:13] These are God's limits. And whoever obeys God and His messenger, he will enter paradises with flowing streams beneath them; they abide therein forever. And this is the great triumph.

[4:14] However, whoever disobeys God and His messenger and transgresses His limits, he will enter Hell eternally, and for him there is a humiliating suffering.

[4:15] And those of your women who commit vice, you shall have four witnesses from amongst you, if they do bear witness, then, make them stay at home until they die or God finds a way out for them.

[4:16] As for the couple who do the aforementioned readily, you shall make it difficult for the two of them, if they then repent and reform you shall leave the two of them alone. Indeed God is Acceptor of Repentance, All Merciful.

[4:17] Indeed repentance to God is reserved for those who commit evil due to ignorance then they immediately repent, consequently God accepts their repentance. And God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:18] And repentance is not for those who commit evil until death comes to one of them, he says now I repent, and nor for those who die as unfaithful. Promised to them is a painful suffering.

[4:19] O you faithful, it is not permitted for you to inherit women reluctantly. Furthermore, do not force them into letting go of what you have given them, except in the case of readily committing a proven vice. And you shall treat them amicably. Remember, if you dislike them, you may dislike something wherein God has placed a lot of good.

[4:20] Furthermore, if you decide to replace a wife with another wife and you have given the first one plenty, then do not take away a thing. Will you take it illicitly while it is a manifest sin?

[4:21] And how can you take it back when you have been intimate with one another and they have taken a solemn pledge from you?

[4:22] And do not marry the ones whom your fathers have been married to, exceptions are provided for the cases that have already happened before this. This is indeed an abomination, abhorrent and an evil way.

[4:23] Prohibited for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, sisters of your fathers, sisters of your mothers, daughters of your brothers, daughters of your sisters, your nursing mothers, sisters whom had the same nursing mothers, your mothers in-law, your stepdaughters in your homes from wives that you have consummated intercourse and if you have not consummated intercourse with them, then there is no blame on you and the wives of your genetic sons and marrying two sisters simultaneously, exceptions are cases that have already happened before this. Indeed God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:24] As well as married women, except those who are under your protection. This is God's proclamation upon you. And permitted for you to marry according to the law are all others as long as they maintain their chastity and do not commit unlawful acts. Once you decide to go through with it then you shall give them their wages as agreed. There is no blame on you if you come to a consensus upon anything after the agreement. Indeed God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:25] And those of you who cannot afford to marry chaste believing women, then take one from those who are under your protection, from the young ladies who are faithful. And God knows best about their faith. Some are better than others. Therefore, you shall marry them by asking permission from their families and give them their wage equitably, they shall maintain their chastity, do not commit unlawful acts, and do not take boyfriends. Once they are married, if they are caught in an act of adultery, then their punishment shall be half that of other married women. This is for those of you who fear the hardship. And being patient is the best for you. And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:26] God wishes to enlighten you and guide you to the traditions of those before you and accept your repentance. God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:27] Moreover, God wishes to accept your repentance and those who wish to give in to their lusts, would like to see you divert, a great divergence.

[4:28] God wishes to lighten your load, since the human being was created weak.

[4:29] O you faithful, do not consume each other's money illicitly, however, an agreed upon transaction is not illicit. And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, God is All Merciful towards you.

[4:30] And whoever does this maliciously and unjustly, We will soon throw him into Hell. And this is easy to do for God.

[4:31] If you avoid cardinal sins, We will remit your bad deeds and will admit you an honorable admittance.

[4:32] Furthermore, do not covet what God has bestowed of a bounty to some more than others. For men there is a share of what they earn and for the women is a share of what they earn. And ask God for His bounty. Indeed God is All Knowing of everything.

[4:33] And for everyone We have decreed a share of what the parents and the relatives leave behind. As for those who are under your protection, you shall give them their share. Indeed God is a witness to all things.

[4:34] The men are protectors of women because God has bestowed certain unique qualities upon them and made them bread earners. Therefore, righteous women are obedient and chaste in their privacy, according to God's decree for chastity. And those women whom you fear their rebellion, you shall then enlighten them; thereafter you shall desert them in bed and ignore them. Once they obey you, you shall not transgress against them in any manner. Indeed God is Exalted, absolutely Great.

[4:35] And if you fear separation between the two of them, you then shall appoint an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family, to see if they decide to reconcile, God will bring the two of them together. Indeed God is All Knowing, Cognizant.

[4:36] And worship God and do not set up anything as a partner for Him. Moreover, you shall be good to the parents, as well as the relatives and the fatherless and the poor and related neighbor and the unrelated neighbor and the close friend and the refugee and those under your protection. Indeed God does not love the one who is sneaky, proud.

[4:37] Those who are stingy encourage people to be stingy and hide what God has bestowed upon them of His bounty. And We have promised the unfaithful a humiliating suffering.

[4:38] And there are those who spend their money to impress people and do not believe in God and the Last Day. And whoever takes Satan as a companion has the worst companion.

[4:39] And what is wrong if they believe in God and the Last Day and spend from what God has provided for them? And God Knows All about them.

[4:40] Indeed God does not commit an atom's weight of injustice. Furthermore, if you do good, He multiplies it and gives from His special place a great recompense.

[4:41] And how would it be when We bring a witness from every community and bring you as a witness over these people?

[4:42] That is the day when those who have no faith and disobeyed the messenger would wish that they were level with the ground and they will not be able to hide any utterance from God.

[4:43] O you who have attained faith, do not approach the contact prayer while drunk, wait until you know what you are saying and when you are unclean due to sexual orgasm then you shall bathe, except when you are traveling. And if you are ill or on a trip or have digestive excretion or have touched women and you cannot find water, then you shall perform dry ablution with dry, clean soil by wiping your face and your hands. Indeed God is Pardoner, All Forgiving.

[4:44] Do you see how those who have received a portion of the scripture choose to go astray and wish that you go astray from the path?

[4:45] And God knows your enemies well. Furthermore, God suffices as an Ally and God suffices as a Supporter.

[4:46] Some of those who are Judeans distort the word from its original and say we hear and disobey and we hear nothing but the unbearable, and they said, be our shepherd as they twisted their tongues to be sarcastic towards the religion. And had they said, we hear and obey, and hear us and watch over us, it would have been better for them and more straight-forward, however, God has cursed them because of their lack of faith, therefore, they never attain faith except a few.

[4:47] O you who have received the scripture, believe in what We have revealed, confirming what you already have before We condemn certain faces, then turn them backward, or curse them as We cursed the people who violated the Sabbath. And, God's command is always carried out.

[4:48] Indeed God does not forgive setting up partners for Him; however, He forgives lesser sins for whomever He wills. Furthermore, whoever sets up partners for God, then, he has committed a great sin.

[4:49] Have you observed those who are trying to cleanse themselves? However, God cleanses whomever He wills and without the least injustice.

[4:50] Note how they attribute lies to God. Thus, they commit with it a manifest sin.

[4:51] Do you see those who have accepted part of the scripture, believing in evil and idols, and saying to those who have no faith that this is better guidance than the way of the faithful?

[4:52] These are the ones whom God has condemned. Furthermore, whomever God condemns, he will never find a helper.

[4:53] Had they ever owned any part of the kingship, they would not give the people as much as a seed.

[4:54] Are they envious of what God has given people from His bounty? We indeed gave Abraham's descendants the scripture and wisdom and gave them a great kingdom.

[4:55] Thereafter, among them were those who believed in it and there were those who repelled from it. As for the latter, blazing Gehenna suffices.

[4:56] Indeed those who have no faith in our proofs, We will soon throw them into Hell; once their skin is cooked; We will replace it with new skin, in order to taste the agony. Indeed, God is Almighty, All Wise.

[4:57] As for those who have attained faith and led a righteous life, We will admit them into paradises with flowing streams beneath them, they abide therein eternally. For them are pure spouses and We will provide for them extended shades.

[4:58] Surely, God commands you to return the deposits to their owners, and when you judge among people, judge equitably. Indeed God enlightens you as a blessing. Surely God is All Hearer, All Seer.

[4:59] O you who have attained faith, obey God and obey the messenger and those in charge amongst you. Therefore, if you dispute in some matters, refer them to God and the messenger, if you believe in God and the Last Day. This is better and yields the best outcome.

[4:60] Have you observed those who think that they indeed believe in what was revealed to you and what was revealed before you, wanting to rule in favor of transgression, despite the fact that they were commanded not to believe in it? And Satan wants to divert them far off the right path.

[4:61] And when they are told; come to what God has revealed to the messenger, you see the hypocrites do their best to block you, a complete blocking.

[4:62] Then, see how when a disaster strikes them as a consequence of their own deeds, they come to you swearing to God that we sought nothing but righteousness and success.

[4:63] These are the ones whom God knows what is in their hearts, therefore, ignore them and enlighten them, speak to them regarding their souls, using an eloquent tongue.

[4:64] Furthermore, We did not send any messenger, except to be obeyed in accordance to God's plan. And once they indeed transgress against their own souls, they come to you, seeking forgiveness from God and once the messenger asks forgiveness on their behalf, you will indeed find God Acceptor of repentance, All Merciful.

[4:65] Never, by your Lord, they will not believe until you judge among them regarding their dispute and find no hesitation in their souls regarding your judgment and they are completely at peace.

[4:66] Had We decreed for them; give up your lives or leave your homes; they would not have done so except for a few of them. And had they done what was enlightening to them, it would have indeed been better for them and a stronger foundation.

[4:67] And indeed We would have given them from Our special place a great recompense.

[4:68] And We would have indeed guided them to a straight path.

[4:69] Moreover, whoever obeys God and the messenger then they join those whom God has showered with His blessings amongst the prophets and the truthful ones and the martyrs and the righteous. And those are the best companions.

[4:70] This is the bounty from God. Moreover, God suffices as All Knower.

[4:71] O you who have attained faith, you shall be vigilant, you shall mobilize as individuals bravely or mobilize altogether.

[4:72] And indeed amongst you is the one who drags his feet, then, when a disaster strikes you, he says God has indeed blessed me that I was not a martyr along with them.

[4:73] And if you, as a group, receive a bounty from God he will indeed say as though no friendship is lost between you and him, I wish I was with them then I would be victorious, attaining a great victory.

[4:74] Therefore, those who fight in the cause of God are those who have forsaken this worldly life in favor of the Hereafter. And whoever fights in the cause of God then he gets killed or achieves the upper hand, We will soon grant him a great recompense.

[4:75] And what prevented you from fighting in the cause of God when the oppressed from among men, women and the children say, our Lord take us out of this town whose inhabitants commit injustice and appoint for us from your special place an ally and appoint for us from your special place a helper.

[4:76] Those who have faith fight in the cause of God while those who have no faith fight in the cause of idols, therefore you shall fight the allies of Satan. Indeed the scheming of Satan is weak.

[4:77] Have you observed those who were told; hold your hands back and observe the contact prayer and give the cleansing charity, then, once fighting was decreed for them, a group of them feared people just like they feared God or even more? Furthermore, they said, our Lord why did you decree fighting for us, and why did you not delay this a little more? Say, the material of this world is little while the Hereafter is better for the one who is righteous and none will suffer the least injustice.

[4:78] Wherever you are, death will catch up with you even if you are in strongly founded towers. And when a good thing happens to them, they say this is from God and when a bad thing happens to them, they say, this is because of you. Say, everything is controlled by God. What is the matter with these folks, do they ever understand any enlightenment?

[4:79] Whatever good happens to you is from God, and whatever bad happens to you is because of yourself. Moreover, We have sent you as a messenger to the people. And God suffices as a witness.

[4:80] Whoever obeys the messenger has indeed obeyed God. And the one who disobeys, We have not sent you as their guardian.

[4:81] Furthermore, they claim obedience, then once they leave your place, a group of them become doubtful regarding what they said. And God records their doubts. Therefore, leave them alone and put your trust in God. Moreover, God suffices as an Advocate.

[4:82] Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from other than God, they surely would have found in it many contradictions.

[4:83] And when they come across matters of security or fear, they let everyone know. And had they referred it to the messenger and those in charge amongst them, those who are knowledgeable would have dealt with it. Furthermore, if it were not because of God's bounty that He has bestowed upon you, and His Mercy, you would have surely followed Satan, except for a few.

[4:84] Therefore, fight in the cause of God, for you are not responsible except for your own soul. And encourage the faithful. God will then nullify the might of those who have no faith. God has the ultimate might and the ultimate know-how.

[4:85] Whoever mediates a good mediation, he enjoys his share. And whoever mediates a bad mediation, he will suffer its consequences. Moreover, God keeps track of all things.

[4:86] And when you are greeted with a greeting, you shall then respond with a better one or an equal one. Indeed God has counted all things.

[4:87] God, there is no god except He. He will surely gather you all on the Day of Resurrection, wherein there shall be no doubt. Furthermore, whose narration is more truthful than God's?

[4:88] Then why should you divide yourselves into two groups for the sake of the hypocrites when God has debased them because of their deeds? Do you wish to guide those whom God has sent astray? Moreover, whomever God sends astray, he will find no way out.

[4:89] They want you to have no faith just like them, then they consider you equal. Therefore, you shall not take any one of them as an ally until they emigrate in the cause of God. Thereafter, if they turn against you, you may capture them and kill them when you confront them. Furthermore, do not take any of them as an ally and a helper.

[4:90] Exempted are those who have joined people whom you have a treaty with them, or those who come and lack the courage to fight you or to fight their own people. And had God willed He could have had them mobilize against you then they would have fought you. Therefore, if they leave you alone and do not fight you and offer you peace, then God does not allow you to confront them in any way.

[4:91] You will find others who want to have security alongside you as well as their people, but once they are tested, they revert back to their original ways. Therefore, if they do not leave you alone, do not offer you peace, and do not hold their hands back, then you shall capture them and kill them when you defeat them. And these are the ones whom you are permitted to act against with clear authority.

[4:92] And no faithful person shall kill another faithful person unless by accident. And whoever kills a faithful person accidentally, shall expiate by freeing a faithful slave and by paying a demanded compensation to his family, unless they forfeit it as a charity. However, if the faithful person is from a people who are your enemies, then you shall expiate by freeing a faithful slave. And if he is from a people that you have a treaty with, then, he shall expiate by paying a demanded compensation to his family as well as freeing a faithful slave. However, if he cannot find one, then he shall fast two consecutive months as repentance to God. And God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:93] Furthermore, whoever kills a faithful person intentionally, then his requital is Gehenna as an eternal abode and God's wrath will be upon him as well as His curse, and awaiting him is a tremendous suffering.

[4:94] O you who have attained faith, when you fight in the cause of God you shall be absolutely sure and do not say to the one who offers you peace: "you are not a faithful person"; seeking the vanities of this worldly life, remember, there are plenty of treasures at God. So were you in the past, then God did you a favor and you became absolutely certain. Indeed God is Cognizant of everything you do.

[4:95] Not equal are the believing sedentary - except those who have a disability - and those who strive in the cause of God with their money and themselves. God has elevated those who strive with their money and their lives over the sedentary in rank. And God has promised goodness for all of them. However, God has bestowed those who strive over the sedentary a great reward.

[4:96] Ranks from Him, forgiveness and mercy. And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:97] Surely those whom the angels terminate their lives while committing injustice against their own souls, they will ask what were you like? They respond; we were oppressed on the land. They ask, was not God's land ever expanding so that you could emigrate therein? Therefore, their abode is Gehenna. And a miserable abode.

[4:98] Exempted are the oppressed amongst men, women and children who cannot afford any means and have no way out.

[4:99] As for these, God may pardon them. Moreover, God is Pardoner, All Forgiving.

[4:100] And whoever emigrates in the cause of God, he will find many sanctuaries and vast riches on the land. And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant for the sake of God and His messenger, then when death catches up with him, he has certainly earned his reward with God. And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:101] And when you travel throughout the land, then there is no blame on you to shorten your contact prayer, if you fear that the unfaithful may harm you. Surely, the unfaithful are your proven enemies.

[4:102] And when you are amongst them, and you lead them in the contact prayer then let a group of them stand up to pray with you, the rest shall keep their weapons, so when you fall prostrate, they watch your back and the group who have not prayed, shall then come to pray with you and the others shall stand watch with their weapons. Those who have no faith would love to see you neglect your weapons and your equipment, so they can defeat you once and for all. Furthermore, you commit no error, if you are burdened by rain or an illness to lay down your weapons. However, you shall stand guard. Indeed, God promises the disbelievers a humiliating suffering.

[4:103] And when you finish your contact prayer, then you shall commemorate God while standing, sitting or lying on your side. And once you are secure, you shall continue upholding the contact prayer. Surely, contact prayer has been decreed upon the faithful at specific times.

[4:104] And you shall not show weakness in confronting other people. If you suffer any loss, then they suffer losses just like you do. Moreover, you are hopeful of God, while they have no hope. And God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:105] Surely, We revealed this scripture to you truthfully in order to judge amongst the people with what God has shown you. Furthermore, do not show hostility towards the traitors.

[4:106] And you shall ask forgiveness from God. Surely, God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:107] Furthermore, do not argue on behalf of those who have betrayed their souls. Surely, God does not love any betrayer, sinner.

[4:108] They fear people while they do not fear God, although He is with them when they concoct utterances of which He does not approve. Moreover, God is fully encompassing everything they do.

[4:109] Here you are arguing on their behalf in this worldly life, who will then argue with God on their behalf on the Day of Resurrection? Who will be their advocate?

[4:110] And whoever commits an evil deed or commits injustice against his soul, then asks God for forgiveness, he will find God All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:111] And whoever earns a sin, then, indeed he has earned it for his own soul. And God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:112] And whoever earns a wrong or a sin, then accuses an innocent person thereof, he has indeed carried a load of falsehood and a proven sin.

[4:113] Furthermore, if it were not for God's bounty bestowed upon you and His Mercy, a group of them would have surely tried their best to mislead you; however, they did not mislead anyone except themselves. And they did not harm you in the least. Moreover, God has revealed to you the scripture and wisdom and has taught you what you never knew. And God has bestowed a tremendous bounty upon you.

[4:114] There is no good in many of their secret meetings, unless they advocate charity or kindness or reconciliation amongst people. And whoever does this, seeking God's approval, then, We will soon grant him a tremendous reward.

[4:115] And whoever opposes the messenger after guidance has been clearly shown to him and follows other than the path of the faithful, We will direct him to the path he has chosen and throw him in Gehenna. And what a miserable abode.

[4:116] Indeed God does not forgive setting up a partner for Him and forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Furthermore, whoever sets up partners for God has indeed strayed, far astray.

[4:117] They call upon females besides Him; in fact they call upon a rebellious devil.

[4:118] God has cursed him and he says I have indeed possessed a definite share of your servants.

[4:119] And, I will mislead them and will tempt them and command them to mark the ears of livestock and I command them so that they change God's creation. And whoever takes Satan as an ally besides God then he has suffered a clear loss.

[4:120] He promises them and tempts them. However, Satan does not promise them but a mirage.

[4:121] The abode for them is Gehenna and they will find no exit therefrom.

[4:122] However, as for those who have attained faith and led a righteous life, We will admit them into paradises with flowing streams beneath them, they abide therein eternally. God's promise is the truth. And whose utterance is more truthful than God's?

[4:123] It is not according to your wishes or the wishes of the people of the scripture. The one who commits an evil deed will pay for it and will find no ally and helper besides God.

[4:124] And whoever does righteous work be it male or female while faithful, then, these will enter the paradise, and will not suffer the least injustice.

[4:125] And whose religion is better than the one who is at peace with God, a do-gooder who follows the Nation of Abraham, the monotheist? And God has taken Abraham as a friend.

[4:126] To God belongs everything in the vacua and everything within matter. And God is encompassing all things.

[4:127] And they want to learn from you regarding women. Say, God enlightens you regarding them and what is recited to you from the scripture about the fatherless girls, those whom you did not give them what was decreed for them, while you wanted so much to marry them, and as for the oppressed children, you should treat the fatherless, justly. And whatever good you do, God knows all about it.

[4:128] And if a woman fears oppression or desertion from her husband, there is no blame on the couple if they reconcile. And reconciliation is better. And selfishness is always present in the soul. Therefore, if you do well and maintain righteousness, then God is fully aware of everything you do.

[4:129] And you cannot be equitable among your wives, in spite of all your efforts. Therefore, do not be so biased that you leave one hanging. If you reconcile and maintain righteousness, then God is indeed All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:130] If the couple separates, then God will enrich each of them from His Expanse. God is Expander, All Wise.

[4:131] And to God belongs everything in the vacua and everything within matter. And We decreed for those who received the scripture before you as well as yourselves that you shall fear God. And if you lose faith, then to God belongs everything in the vacua and everything in matter. And God is Rich, Praiseworthy.

[4:132] To God belongs everything in the vacua and everything within matter. And God suffices as an Advocate.

[4:133] If He wills He will wipe you out O you people and bring in others. And God is All Powerful in doing such a thing.

[4:134] Whoever seeks the goods of this world shall pause, because at God there are the goods of this world as well as the Hereafter. And God is All Hearer, All Seer.

[4:135] O you who have attained faith, stand up for justice when you are witnesses for God; be it against yourselves or the parents or the relatives. Be it rich or poor, God shall take priority over both of them. Therefore do not follow the desire of being biased. If you twist your tongue or disobey, then God is All Cognizant of everything you do.

[4:136] O you, who have attained faith, believe in God and His messenger and the book He has revealed to His messenger and the book He has revealed previously. Furthermore, whoever disbelieves in God, His angels, His scriptures, His messengers and the Last Day, has then indeed strayed, far astray.

[4:137] Indeed those who attained faith, then lost faith, then attained faith then lost faith again then plunged deeper into infidelity; God will never forgive them and will not guide them to the path.

[4:138] Give the hypocrites the news that awaiting them is a painful suffering.

[4:139] These are the ones who take the unfaithful as allies instead of the faithful. Do they seek dignity with them? They shall know that all dignity belongs to God.

[4:140] And indeed He has revealed to you in the scripture that once you hear God's proofs are being denied and ridiculed, then, you shall not sit with them unless they delve into other discussions. Otherwise, indeed you will be just like them. Surely God is the gatherer of the hypocrites and the unfaithful in Gehenna altogether.

[4:141] Those who have been dragging their feet, then once they see victory comes to you from God, they say, were we not with you? And if they see the unfaithful attain something, they say, did we not side with you and protected you from the faithful? Consequently, God will judge among them on the Day of Resurrection. And God will never prefer the unfaithful over the faithful in any way.

[4:142] Indeed, the hypocrites want to deceive God, however, He is the deceiver of them and when they stand up for the contact prayer, they stand up lazily and to show off for the people and they do not commemorate God except rarely.

[4:143] Wavering in between, neither belonging to these nor to those. Whomever God sends astray will never find his way.

[4:144] O you who attained faith; do not take the unfaithful as allies instead of the faithful. Do you wish to provide God with a clear proof against you?

[4:145] Surely the hypocrites are in the lowest pit of Hell and will never find a helper.

[4:146] Exempted are those who repent and become righteous, and hold fast to God and devote their faith purely to God then they do belong with the faithful. Moreover, God will soon grant the believers a tremendous recompense.

[4:147] God will never make you suffer if you are grateful and have faith. And God is Appreciative, All Knowing.

[4:148] God does not love bad words, except if one has suffered an injustice. And God is All Hearer, All Knowing.

[4:149] If you declare a good deed or keep it a secret, or pardon a bad deed, then indeed God is Pardoner, All Powerful.

[4:150] Indeed, those who disbelieve in God and His messengers and wish to make distinction between God and His messengers and say we believe in some and reject some and take a path in between ,–

[4:151] – are the true unfaithful. We promise the unfaithful a humiliating suffering.

[4:152] As for those who believe in God and His messengers and do not make any distinction among any one of them, We will soon grant them their recompense. And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[4:153] The people of the scripture ask you to bring down a book from the sky. They asked Moses even greater than that, when they said, show us God physically; then, the lightning overwhelmed them because of their transgression. They then preferred the calf in spite of what came to them of proofs, thereafter We pardoned them regarding this matter. And We granted Moses a manifest authority.

[4:154] Furthermore, We raised over them the mountain according to a covenant with them and We told them, enter the gate humbly and We told them not to transgress during the Sabbath, and We took a solemn covenant from them.

[4:155] Thereafter, they broke their covenant because of their disbelief in God's proofs and their killing of the prophets unjustly and because of their utterance that our hearts are shielded. However, it is God who sealed them because of their disbelief; therefore, they can never attain faith except a few.

[4:156] And because of their disbelief and their statement about Mary, which was a gross fabrication.

[4:157] As well as their statement when they said, we surely killed the Healer, Jesus Son of Mary, messenger of God, however, they did not kill him and they did not crucify him but it was perceived by them as such. Furthermore, those who dispute in this matter are doubtful about it. They have no knowledge thereof except to follow conjecture. Moreover, for sure, they did not kill him.

[4:158] On the contrary, God raised him to Himself. And God is Almighty, All Wise.

[4:159] And one is not from the people of the scripture unless they indeed believed in him before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them.

[4:160] Therefore, because of the injustice committed by some of those who were Judeans, We prohibited for them the good things that were permitted for them and because of their barring of the path of God persistently.

[4:161] And they practiced usury, although they were enjoined therefrom and they consumed people's money illicitly. And We promise the unfaithful among them a painful suffering.

[4:162] However, the well founded in knowledge amongst them and the faithful believe in what is revealed to you and what was revealed before you. Moreover, they uphold the contact prayer and give the cleansing charity and believe in God and the Last Day, as for these, We will soon grant them a tremendous recompense.

[4:163] We surely inspired you as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the tribes, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms-

[4:164] -as well as other messengers whom We narrated their history to you previously and messengers We did not narrate their history to you. And God communicated to Moses verbally.

[4:165] Messengers who are bearers of good news as well as warners, so the people will have no excuse for God after receiving all these messengers. And God is Almighty, All Wise.

[4:166] However, God witnesses what He reveals to you. He reveals it according to His knowledge. The angels witness it as well. However, God suffices as a witness.

[4:167] Indeed those who had no faith and repelled from the path of God, have strayed, far astray.

[4:168] Indeed those who had no faith and committed injustice, God will never forgive them and will never guide them to any path,-

[4:169] -except to the path of Gehenna, wherein they abide forever. And this is easy for God to do.

[4:170] O you people, a messenger has come to you truthfully from your Lord, therefore, you shall believe; it is better for you. However, if you disbelieve, then to God belongs everything in the vacua and everything within matter. And God is All Knowing, All Wise.

[4:171] O people of the scripture do not boast about your religion and do not say about God except the truth. Indeed the Healer, Jesus, Son of Mary was no more than a messenger from God and His word that He inspired to Mary and a spirit from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in God and His messengers, and do not say trinity. You shall stop for your own good. Indeed God is one god, be He glorified much too high to have a son, to Him belongs everything in the vacua and everything within matter. And God suffices as an Advocate.

[4:172] The Healer would never disdain to be a servant of God and neither the closest angels. Furthermore, whoever disdains from serving Him and turns arrogant, then, He will summon them all before Him.

[4:173] As for those who have attained faith and lead a righteous life, He will then give them their recompense and increase for them from His bounty. However, those who disdain and turn arrogant, He will then punish them, a painful punishment and they will not find besides God any ally or a helper.

[4:174] O you people, indeed a proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have revealed to you a proven enlightenment.

[4:175] As for those who have faith in God and hold fast to Him, He will then admit them into a mercy from Him as well as a bounty and He will guide them to Himself through a straight path.

[4:176] They wish to learn from you, say God enlightens you regarding the loner. If a man dies and has no children and leaves a sister, she receives half of what he leaves behind. However, he receives all if she does not have any children. If there are two females, then they share two-thirds of what he leaves behind. And if there were a male and female, then the male shall enjoy twice that of the female. God enlightens you otherwise you would go astray. Moreover, God is All Knowing about all things.
