[5:1] O you faithful, you shall abide by the covenants. It is lawful for you all quadruped livestock, except what is recited to you; it is also unlawful to hunt during the period of time decreed as prohibition for you. Indeed God commands whatever He wills.

[5:2] O you faithful, you shall not violate God's rites, or the sacred months, or the offerings, or the tags around their necks, or those who head to the Sacred House, seeking their Lord's grace and His approval. Once the prohibition period is over you may hunt. You shall not be provoked by the animosity towards the people who barred you from the Sacred Mosque into aggression. You shall help each other in acts of righteousness and piety but do not cooperate in sinful acts and aggression. You shall fear God. Indeed God possesses the ultimate punishment.

[5:3] Prohibited for you are the dead, the blood, the meat of the pig and what is dedicated to other than God as well as that which dies by strangulation, or by being struck by an object or illness, or fallen from a height, gored, or being eaten by a wild animal unless it is alive and you can slaughter it, as well as what is slaughtered in front of the idols and you shall not divide through a shooting match. All of these are abominations on your part. Today, the unfaithful have rejected your faith, therefore, do not fear them and you shall be reverent. Today, I have completed your faith for you and have perfected my blessings upon you and have approved Islam as your faith. Therefore, if one is forced by starvation without deliberate malice, then God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[5:4] They ask you what is lawful for them. Say, the clean things have been decreed lawful for you, and what your trained hunting animals secure for you. You train them according to what God has taught you. Therefore, eat from what they catch for you and mention God's name upon it. Furthermore, you shall fear God, for indeed God is quick in reckoning.

[5:5] Today all clean things are lawful for you, and the food of the people of the scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them, as well as the chaste believing women and the chaste women of the people of the previous scripture as long as you give them their wages, provided they maintain chastity, do not commit unlawful acts, and do not take secret lovers. Furthermore, whoever disbelieves in faith, he has then nullified his work and he will end up among the losers in the Hereafter.

[5:6] O you who have attained faith when you observe the contact prayer, you shall wash your faces and your hands to your elbows, wipe your heads as a healing and wash your feet to the ankles. However, if you are unclean due to sexual orgasm, then you shall bathe. And if you are ill or on travel and cannot find water, and any of you has digestive excretion or has touched women, then you shall perform dry ablution with clean dry soil by wiping your faces and your hands with it as a healing. God does not wish to cause you hardship but wishes to cleanse you and to complete His blessings upon you that you may be appreciative.

[5:7] And you shall remember God's blessings upon you and His covenant and the fact that He made you strong with it, as you proclaimed that we hear and we obey; and you shall fear God. Indeed God is All Knower of the innermost thoughts.

[5:8] O you who attained faith, stand up for God as equitable witnesses, and do not be provoked by animosity towards a people into being biased. You shall be equitable, for it is closer to piety, and you shall fear God. Indeed God is Cognizant of what you do.

[5:9] God has promised those who have attained faith and led a righteous life that reserved for them are forgiveness and a tremendous reward.

[5:10] As for those who have no faith and rejected our proofs, they are the dwellers of the Inferno.

[5:11] O you who have attained faith, remember God's blessings upon you when the hands of aggression of a group of people opened up to strike you, He held their hands back, away from you, therefore, you shall fear God. Furthermore, in God the faithful shall trust.

[5:12] And God took a covenant from the Children of Israel and raised from them twelve leaders, and God said, I am indeed with you, as long as you observe the contact prayer and give the cleansing charity and believe in My messengers, help them and loan God a loan of righteousness, I will then indeed remit your sins and will surely admit you into paradises with flowing streams beneath them. However, if any one disbelieves afterwards, then he has indeed strayed off the even path.

[5:13] Afterwards, because they violated their covenant, We cursed them and hardened their hearts, as they insisted upon double talk. And they forgot the benefit of what they were reminded with. You will continue to see betrayal from them except for a few of them. Therefore, you shall pardon them and disregard them. Indeed God loves the do-gooders.

[5:14] Likewise, We took a covenant from those who said, we are indeed Nazarenes, then they forgot the benefit of what they were reminded with. Consequently, We condemned them to animosity and hatred amongst them until the Day of Resurrection. Moreover, God will soon inform them of what they used to concoct.

[5:15] O people of the scripture, Our messenger has indeed come to you in order to clarify for you many things you conceal from the scripture while disregarding many more. Indeed, a light has come to you from God and a clarifying scripture.

[5:16] God guides with it whoever seeks His approval, the paths of peace; consequently He takes them out of the darkness into the light by His leave. And He guides them to the right path.

[5:17] Indeed the unfaithful are those who said surely God is the Healer, Son of Mary. Say, who then can do a thing if God wills to annihilate the Healer, Son of Mary, his mother and everyone on the land altogether? Furthermore, to God belongs the kingship of the vacua and matter and everything between them. He creates whatever He wills. Moreover, God is All Powerful over all things.

[5:18] And the Judeans and the Nazarenes said they are God's children and His beloved ones. Say, why then does He punish you for your sins? On the contrary, you are humans that He has created. He forgives whomever He wills and punishes whomever He wills. Furthermore, to God belongs the kingship of the vacua and matter and everything between them, and to Him is your final destiny.

[5:19] O people of the scripture, Our messenger has indeed come to you in order to clarify matters for you, after a period of time with no messengers that you may not say, we did not receive any bearer of good news and a warner. A bearer of good news as well as a warner has now come to you. And God is All Powerful over all things.

[5:20] And when Moses said to his people, O my people; remember God's blessings upon you as He appointed prophets from amongst you and made you kings and granted you what He has never granted any other people.

[5:21] O my people; enter the Holy Land that God has decreed for you and do not turn your backs lest you become losers.

[5:22] They said, O Moses there are powerful people in there and for sure, indeed we will not enter unless they leave, once they leave, then we will surely enter.

[5:23] Two men, who revered God's blessing upon them said, just enter the gate and once you enter it then you will be victorious. Furthermore, in God you shall trust if you are faithful.

[5:24] They said, O Moses, for sure we will never enter as long as they are in there. Therefore, go you and your Lord, and the two of you fight, we will stay put here.

[5:25] He said, Lord, indeed I have no authority except over myself and my brother therefore separate us from the wicked people.

[5:26] He said, it is then prohibited for them for forty years, while they wander throughout the land. Therefore, do not grieve for the wicked people.

[5:27] And recite for them the history of Adam's sons truthfully as they both approached with an offering, it was then accepted from one of them while it was not accepted from the other, he said, I will surely kill you. He said, indeed God only accepts from the righteous.

[5:28] Indeed if you raise your hand to strike me dead, I will not raise my hand to kill you. Certainly, I fear God, Lord of the multiverse.

[5:29] I want you to carry my sins as well as your own sins, then, you will become a dweller of Hell. And this is a just reward for the unjust.

[5:30] However, his ego enticed him into killing his brother, consequently he murdered him; he then ended up with the losers.

[5:31] God then raised a raven to scratch the ground in order to show him how to cover his brother's body. He said woe to me; I am even less capable than this raven to cover my brother's body. He then was overwhelmed with remorse.

[5:32] After this incident, We decreed for the Children of Israel that indeed if one kills a soul who did not commit murder, or has not spread evil throughout the land, it will be then as though he has killed all the people, and if one spares a life, it is like as though he has spared the lives of all the people. And when our messengers went to them with proofs, then, most of them after all this transgressed throughout the land.

[5:33] Indeed the just requital for those who fight God and His messenger and do their best to spread evil throughout the land is to end up killed, or to be crucified, or get their hands and feet cut on the alternate sides, or get banished from the land. Reserved for them is humiliation in this world, and in the Hereafter, awaiting them is a tremendous suffering.

[5:34] Exempted are those who repent before you overcome them. You shall, therefore, know that indeed God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[5:35] O you who have attained faith, fear God and seek out the means to reach Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed.

[5:36] Indeed as for those who have no faith, if they owned all the worldly possessions and even twice as much and gave it away as ransom, to avoid the suffering of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them. And awaiting them is a painful suffering.

[5:37] They want to exit the Fire, but they will not exit it, and their suffering is uninterrupted.

[5:38] As for the thief, be it male or female, you shall take them into custody, as a requital for what they have earned, a deterrent punishment from God. And God is Almighty, All Wise.

[5:39] Thereafter, whoever repents after committing his transgression and reforms, God will then forgive him. Indeed God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[5:40] Do you not realize that indeed to God belongs the kingship of the vacua and matter, He punishes whomever He wills and forgives whomever He wills, and God is All Powerful over all things?

[5:41] O you messenger do not be saddened by those who race towards disbelief, these are amongst those who said, we believed as a lip service while there was no belief in their hearts, and as for some of those who were Judeans, they listened tirelessly to lies, they listened tirelessly to those people who did not respond to you. They take the word out of context. They say if you are given this then take it, however, if you are given anything else then beware. Furthermore, if God wills someone's downfall, then nothing can help him against God. These are the ones that God has not willed to cleanse their hearts. For them, there is humiliation in this world, and awaiting them in the Hereafter is a tremendous suffering.

[5:42] They listen tirelessly to lies, and consume illicit earnings. Therefore, if they come to you, you may judge amongst them or you may disregard them, and if you disregard them they cannot harm you in the least. However if you decide to judge amongst them you shall judge equitably. Surely God loves those who are equitable.

[5:43] Furthermore, how can they ask you to judge amongst them when they have the Torah wherein is God's judgment, but they turned away afterward? And these are not faithful.

[5:44] Indeed We revealed the Torah wherein is guidance and light. The prophets who were peace offerors judged using it for those who were Judeans and the rabbis and the priests according to what they remembered from God's scripture and they were witnesses thereof. Therefore, do not fear the people and you shall be reverent and do not trade My Signs for a cheap price. Moreover, those who do not judge according to what God has revealed then they are unfaithful.

[5:45] And We decreed for them in it that a soul for a soul, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear and a tooth for a tooth as well as for any injury its equivalent. However, whoever pardons it as a charity; it will serve as atonement for him. As for those who do not judge according to what God has revealed, then they are committing an injustice.

[5:46] And We sent to their progeny Jesus Son of Mary, confirming the Torah and We gave him the Injeel wherein is guidance and light confirming the Torah as well as further guidance and enlightenment for the righteous.

[5:47] Furthermore, it was to serve as a constitution for those who followed the Injeel in accordance to what God revealed therein. And whoever does not rule according to God's revelation, then, they are wicked.

[5:48] And We revealed to you the scripture truthfully, confirming the existing scriptures and superceding them. Therefore, you shall judge amongst them according to God's revelation; and do not follow their wishes forsaking what has come to you from the truth. For every one of you, We made ways and means. And if God willed, He indeed would have made you a single community, however, He tests you through what He has given you; therefore you shall race towards righteousness. To God is your destiny, all of you, He will then inform you of everything you had disputed.

[5:49] And you shall judge amongst them according to what God has revealed and do not follow their wishes and disregard them when they test you with some of what God has revealed to you, therefore, if they turn away, you shall know that God is afflicting them due to some of their sins. Moreover, most of the people are wicked.

[5:50] Is it the constitution of ignorance that they are coveting? And what is better than God's constitution for those people who have attained certainty?

[5:51] O you faithful do not take the Judeans and the Nazarenes as allies. Some of them are each other's allies. And if you take them as allies, then indeed you are one of them. Surely God does not guide the unjust.

[5:52] Then you see those who have a disease in their hearts race towards them, saying we fear ending up besieged. Thereafter, God may grant victory or a resolution from Him, then, the reality of what they kept secret within themselves will make them sorry.

[5:53] And those who have faith say, these are the ones who swore by God, a solemn oath, that indeed we are with you. Their works were nullified; therefore, they ended up losers.

[5:54] O you who have attained faith, if you forsake your faith, God will soon bring a people whom He loves and they love Him, who are humble with the faithful and mighty against the unfaithful, they strive in the cause of God, without fear of blame by any blamer. This is a bounty from God; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. Moreover, God is Expander, All Knowing.

[5:55] Indeed your ally is God and His messenger as well as the faithful who observe the contact prayer and give the cleansing charity and they bow down.

[5:56] And whoever allies himself with God and His messenger as well as the faithful, then indeed he belongs to the party of God who are always victorious.

[5:57] O you who have attained faith, do not take those who mock and ridicule your faith, from amongst those who have received the scripture before you and the unfaithful, as allies. And you shall fear God if you are faithful.

[5:58] And when you are called to observe the contact prayer, they poke fun and ridicule. This is because they are indeed people who do not comprehend.

[5:59] Say, O people of the scripture, why do you hate us when we believe in God and what is revealed to us and what was revealed previously, and most of you are wicked?

[5:60] Say, shall I inform you of the worst requital in the site of God? It is the one whom God curses and His wrath is directed towards him, He thus transformed them into monkeys and pigs as they worshiped idols. These have a miserable abode and have strayed off the even path.

[5:61] And when they come to you, they say we believe, although they entered with disbelief and left with it. Furthermore, God knows best what they conceal.

[5:62] And you see many of them race towards sin and animosity and consume illicit earnings. Indeed, how terrible is what they are doing.

[5:63] Why do the rabbis and the priests not enjoin them from sinful utterances and their consumption of illicit earnings? Indeed, how terrible is what they are concocting.

[5:64] And the Judeans said, God's hand is tied. Their hands are tied and they will be cursed for what they uttered. On the contrary, His hands are wide open, providing in any manner He wills. And indeed most of them display the highest rebellion and disbelief in what was revealed to you from your Lord. And We threw animosity and hatred amongst them until the Day of Resurrection. And whenever they fan the flames of war, God extinguishes it. And they try their best to spread corruption throughout the land. And God does not love those who spread corruption.

[5:65] And if only the people of the scripture believe and become reverent, We will indeed remit their sins and will surely admit them into paradises full of bliss.

[5:66] And had they only upheld the Torah and the Injeel and what was revealed to them from their Lord, they would have had provisions from above them and from under their feet. Amongst them is a prudent community, but as for most of them, evil is what they do.

[5:67] O you messenger, deliver what is revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not do so, then you have not delivered His message. And God will protect you from the people. Indeed God does not guide the disbelieving people.

[5:68] Say, O people of the scripture, I have nothing to do with you unless you uphold the Torah and the Injeel and what is revealed to you from your Lord. And indeed most of them increase the rebellion and disbelief in what is revealed to you from your Lord. Therefore, do not despair because of disbelieving people.

[5:69] Surely those who have attained faith, those who are Judeans, the Converts, and the Nazarenes, all of those who believe in God, the Last Day and lead a righteous life, they will have nothing to fear nor will they grieve.

[5:70] Indeed We took a covenant from the Children of Israel, and sent messengers to them, but every time a messenger went to them, with what were not according to their wishes, some they rejected and some they murdered.

[5:71] And they thought they would not be tested, therefore, they became blind and deaf, then God redeemed them, thereafter many of them remained blind and deaf. And God is All Seer of what they do.

[5:72] Surely unfaithful are those who said, indeed God is he, the Healer, Son of Mary, while the Healer said, O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord, indeed any one who sets up partners for God, then God has indeed forbidden Paradise for him and his abode is Hell, and there are no helpers for the unjust.

[5:73] Surely unfaithful are those who said, indeed God is a third of a trinity, however, there is no god except the one god. And if they do not refrain from their utterance, the unfaithful amongst them will surely incur a painful suffering.

[5:74] Why do they not repent to God, and ask Him for forgiveness? And God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[5:75] The Healer, Son of Mary is not but a messenger like the messengers before him and his mother was a saint. Both of them used to consume food. Observe how We clarify for them our signs then watch them deviate.

[5:76] Say, do you worship besides God, what does not possess any harm or benefit for you? And God is The All Hearer, The All Knowing.

[5:77] Say, O people of the scripture do not exaggerate about your religion untruthfully and do not follow the wishes of the people who went astray previously and misled many and strayed off the even path.

[5:78] Cursed are the unfaithful amongst the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus, Son of Mary. This was because they rebelled and transgressed.

[5:79] They never prohibited evil they actually did it. Indeed how bad it was what they used to do.

[5:80] You see many of them ally themselves with those who have no faith. Indeed how bad it was what they sent forth on their own behalf, it only brought God's wrath upon them and an everlasting suffering.

[5:81] And had they believed in God and the prophet and what was revealed to him, they would have never taken them as allies, however, many of them are evildoers.

[5:82] Indeed you find the people who are the most ardent enemies of those who have attained faith are the Judeans and those who set up partners for god, and you find that the closest friendship towards the faithful is displayed by those who said, we are Nazarenes. This is because they have priests and ministers who are surely not arrogant.

[5:83] And when they hear what was revealed to the messenger, you see their eyes filled with tears because they recognize the truth, saying, our Lord we believe, therefore, include us with the witnesses.

[5:84] And why should we not believe in God and what has come to us of the truth? Furthermore, we would like very much for our Lord to admit us along with the righteous people.

[5:85] Thereafter, God rewarded them for what they said with paradises with flowing streams beneath them, wherein they dwell eternally. And this is a just reward for the do-gooders.

[5:86] As for those who rejected Our Signs, they are the dwellers of the Inferno.

[5:87] O you who have attained faith, do not prohibit the clean things that God has made lawful for you and do not transgress. Indeed, God does not love transgressors.

[5:88] And eat from what God has provided for you, lawful and clean. And fear God, the one in whom you have faith.

[5:89] God does not hold you responsible for your casual oaths, however, He holds you responsible for your binding oaths. Therefore its atonement is to feed ten poor people from what you usually feed your own family, or clothe them, or free a slave, however, if one cannot find one, then fast three days. This is atonement for your unfulfilled oaths that you promised. And you shall fulfill your oaths. God thus clarifies His Signs for you that you may become appreciative.

[5:90] O you who have attained faith, indeed intoxicants, gambling, idols, and altars are abominations from the work of Satan, you shall therefore avoid him that you may be successful.

[5:91] Indeed, Satan only wants to create animosity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling and prevent you from commemorating God as well as the contact prayer. Therefore, would you not discontinue?

[5:92] And you shall obey God and obey the messenger and refrain. Thereafter, if you revert, you shall know that indeed the only duty upon Our messenger is to clearly deliver.

[5:93] There is no blame on those who have attained faith and lead a righteous life to eat any food, so long as they maintain reverence, faith, and lead a righteous life then they continue reverence and faith, then go on with revering and doing good. And God loves the do-gooders.

[5:94] O you who have attained faith, God will indeed test you through things such as game within the reach of your hands and your arrows, in order for God to know who fears Him in private. Therefore, whoever transgresses after this, then, awaiting him is a painful suffering.

[5:95] O you who have attained faith, do not kill any game while you are in the state of prohibition. And whoever among you kills it deliberately, then the fine shall be an exact number of livestock as judged by two equitable persons from amongst you, a gift worthy of Kaaba or the atonement shall be feeding poor people or an equivalent fast in order to taste the evil of his deed. God has pardoned what was in the past. And whoever reverts, then God will avenge it. And God is Almighty, Avenger.

[5:96] Lawful for you is fish of the sea and eating it, as a provision for you and for the Caravan, and prohibited for you is hunting game of the dry land as long as you are in the period of prohibition. And you shall fear God, the One you will be summoned before.

[5:97] God has established Kaaba as the Sacred House, a focal point for the people as well as the sacred month and the offering and the earmarked livestock. This is for you to realize that indeed God knows whatever is in the vacua and whatever is within matter and that indeed God has full knowledge of all things.

[5:98] You shall know that God is stern in delivering the ultimate punishment and that indeed God is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[5:99] Nothing is required of the messenger except to deliver. And God knows what they declare as well as what they conceal.

[5:100] Say, evil and pure are not equal, although you may be impressed with evil's hoard. Therefore, you shall fear God, O you who possess vision that you may succeed.

[5:101] O you who have attained faith, do not ask about matters that had it been explained to you would have been harmful to you; however, if you ask about them as the Quran is being revealed, it will be clear to you for God has deliberately overlooked them. And God is All Forgiving, Clement.

[5:102] People before you asked about them then they turned unfaithful because of it.

[5:103] God did not consecrate any kind of she camel with split ears, or a camel that is let loose for eating free pasture and vows for idols or idol sacrifice for twin birth in animals, or the camel freed from work. On the contrary, it is the unfaithful who invent lies about God, and most of them do not use their intelligence.

[5:104] And when they are told, come to what God has revealed and come to the messenger, they say, we reckon we will go along with what we found with our parents. What if their parents did not know a thing and they were not guided?

[5:105] O you who have attained faith, you are responsible for yourselves. Those who have gone astray cannot harm you as long as you are guided. To God is your final return and He will inform you of everything you have done.

[5:106] O you who have attained faith witnessing a will, when death approaches one of you, shall be done by two equitable persons from among you or two others not of you if you are traveling throughout the land and the affliction of death approaches you. You shall sequester them after the contact prayer and have them swear by God when in doubt that they will have no monetary gain although they may be a relative and that they would not conceal God's testimony, otherwise they indeed would belong to the sinners.

[5:107] Thereafter if it is found that indeed the two have committed a sin, replace the two of them with two others who have been victimized by the first two, then let them swear by God that indeed our testimony is more truthful than the other two and that we will not deviate or indeed we will belong to the transgressors.

[5:108] This is closer to piety for them to give an honest testimony otherwise they should fear that their oath would be rejected just like the other's oaths. And you shall fear God and hear. And God does not guide the evil people.

[5:109] The day when God summons all the messengers then asks: "how did they respond to you?" They will say; we have no knowledge; You are The Knower of the unseen.

[5:110] And when God said to Jesus Son of Mary that you shall remember my blessings upon you and upon your mother as I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit in order that you may speak to people from the crib, and as an adult. I taught you the scripture and wisdom and the Torah and the Injeel. And you created from clay the shape of a bird by My leave, then, blew into her; subsequently it became a bird by My leave. And you cured the blind and the lepers by My leave and resurrected the dead by My leave. And, I protected you from the Children of Israel when you went to them with proofs then those amongst them who had no faith said, this is clear magic.

[5:111] And when I inspired the disciples to believe in Me and My messenger, they said, we believe and bear witness that we are peace offerors.

[5:112] When the disciples said, O Jesus son of Mary, can your Lord send us a feast from the sky? He said, fear God if you are faithful.

[5:113] They said, we would like to eat some of it and assure our hearts and know that you have brought us the truth and we can all be witnesses.

[5:114] Jesus Son of Mary said, O god, our Lord, send us a feast from the sky to become a celebration for each one of us, and a Sign from you. And provide for us for You are the best provider.

[5:115] God said, indeed I am sending it to all of you. However, if any one of you rejects faith afterwards, I will then punish him such a punishment like no other punishment that is incurred by anyone in the world.

[5:116] And when God said, O Jesus Son of Mary, did you say to people to take me and my mother as two gods besides God? He said, be You glorified, I could not say but the truth. Had I said it, You would have known about it. You know what is in me and I do not know what is in You. Indeed you are Knower of the secrets.

[5:117] I did not tell them except what You commanded me, to worship God, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness over them as long as I was amongst them. Then when You terminated my life, You were the watcher over them. And You witness all things.

[5:118] If you punish them, they are Your servants and if You forgive them then indeed You are The Almighty, The All Wise.

[5:119] God said, today is the day when the truthfulness of the truthful ones benefits them. For them are paradises with flowing streams beneath them, they abide therein forever. God is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. This is the tremendous victory.

[5:120] To God belongs the kingship of the vacua and matter and whatever is in them. And He is All Powerful over all things.
