The mothers shall breast-feed their offspring for two whole yearsif the father wishes the breast-feeding to be completed.

To some He gives both sons and daughters, and makes barren whomHe will; surely He is All-knowledgeable, All-Powerful.

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Hecreates whatever He pleases. He gives daughters to whom Hepleases and gives sons to whom He pleases.
Whenever the news of a female child is announced to any one ofthem, his face darkens and he chokes with inward gloom.
He hides himself from his people because of the bad news he hasheard, asking himself whether he should retain her with disgraceor bury her in the dust. Beware! Evil is the judgement they makeabout Allah.

O believers! Surely among your wives and your children there aresome who are your enemies: so beware of them. But if you pardon,overlook and forgive their faults, then know that Allah isForgiving, Merciful.
Have you noticed the words of that person who rejects OurRevelations yet boasts: "I shall always be given wealth andchildren".
Has he gained knowledge of the Unseen or has he been awarded acontract by the Compassionate (Allah)?
By no means! We write down what he says and We will make hispunishment long and terrible.
We will inherit all that he boasts of, and he will come back toUs all alone leaving all these things behind.

Actual losers are those who kill their own children foolishlywithout knowledge and forbid food which Allah has provided them,falsely ascribing prohibitions to Allah. Certainly they have goneastray and are not at all rightly guided.
You shall not kill your children for fear of want, for it is WeWho provide sustenance for them as well as for you; surelykilling them is a great blunder.
O Muhammad, say: "Come, I will recite what your Rabb hasforbidden to you: not to commit shirk with Him, to be kind toyour parents, not to kill your children making the excuse ofinability to support them - We provide sustenance for you and forthem - not to commit shameful deeds whether open or secret, notto kill any soul forbidden by Allah except for the requirementsof justice. These are the things which He enjoined you so thatyou may learn wisdom.
You shall not kill your children for fear of want, for it is WeWho provide sustenance for them as well as for you; surelykilling them is a great blunder.
O believers! Let your servants and those children who have notyet attained puberty ask your permission before coming in to seeyou on three occasions: before Fajr Salah (dawn prayer), at noonwhen you put off your clothes, and after the Isha Salah (nightprayer). These are your three times of privacy. At other times,there is no blame on you if you, or they, go around visiting oneanother. Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to you, for Allahis All-Knowing, All-Wise.
In regard to inheritance Allah commands you concerning yourchildren: that the share of a boy shall be twice that of a girl.In the case where there are more than two girls, their share willbe two thirds of the estate; but if there is only one girl, hershare will be one half of the estate. If the deceased leftchildren behind, each of the parents shall get one sixth of theestate, but if the deceased left no children and the parents arethe only heirs, the mother shall get one third of the estate, butif the deceased left brothers and sisters, then the mother willget one sixth of it. The distribution in all cases shall be afterfulfilling the terms of the last will and the payment of debts.With regards to your parents and your children, you do not knowwho is more beneficial to you, therefore, Allah issued thisordinance. Surely Allah is the Knowledgeable, Wise.

Remember, We took a covenant (firm commitment) from the childrenof Israel: "You shall worship none but Allah; be good to yourparents, relatives, orphans and destitute, speak fair to thepeople, establish 'Salah', and pay 'Zakah.'" But you broke thecovenant, except a few of you, and you paid no heed.
Even after that, they broke their covenant; as a result, We laidon them Our curse and hardened their hearts. They tempered withwords out of their context and neglected much of what they wereenjoined. You will always find most of them deceitful except fora few of them. Yet forgive them and overlook their misdeeds.Allah loves those who are kind to others.
Remember O Children of Israel when We took a covenant from youand when We lifted the Mount (Tur) over your heads saying: "Holdfirmly to what We have given you (Torah) and follow thecommandments therein, so that you may guard yourself againstevil."
Even after that, they broke their covenant; as a result, We laidon them Our curse and hardened their hearts. They tempered withwords out of their context and neglected much of what they wereenjoined. You will always find most of them deceitful except fora few of them. Yet forgive them and overlook their misdeeds.Allah loves those who are kind to others.
O children of Israel! Remember My favors to you; fulfil yourcovenant (firm Commitment) with Me and I will fulfil My covenantwith you, that you should fear none but Me.
Even after that, they broke their covenant; as a result, We laidon them Our curse and hardened their hearts. They tempered withwords out of their context and neglected much of what they wereenjoined. You will always find most of them deceitful except fora few of them. Yet forgive them and overlook their misdeeds.Allah loves those who are kind to others.
As you can see many of them are taking the side of theunbelievers. Evil is that, which their souls have sent forth forthem for the Hereafter. Because they have incurred the wrath ofAllah, so in punishment, they are going to live forever.
Had they believed in Allah, in the Prophet, and in what wasrevealed to him, they would have never taken unbelievers as theirprotecting friends instead of believers, but most of them arerebellious transgressors.
O children of Israel! Remember My favors to you; fulfil yourcovenant (firm Commitment) with Me and I will fulfil My covenantwith you, that you should fear none but Me.
O Children of Israel! Remember the special favor which I bestowedupon you; that I exalted you above all other nations.
When they are asked to believe in what Allah has revealed, theyreply: "we only believe in what Allah has sent to us (Torah), andwe reject what is beside that," while it is the truth confirmingtheir own scriptures! Ask them, "if you sincerely believe in whatwas sent to you , why did you kill the Prophets of Allah who weresent to you from amongst yourselves before?"
To Musa (Moses) We gave nine clear signs. Ask the Children ofIsrael how, when he came to them and Fir'on told him: "O Musa! Ithink that you are bewitched".
Do not marry mushrik women until they become believers; abelieving slave woman is better than a free mushrik woman eventhough she may be more attractive to you. Likewise, do not marrymushrik men until they become believers: a believing slave isbetter than a free mushrik even though he may be more pleasing toyou. These mushrikin invite you to hell fire while Allah invitesyou towards paradise and forgiveness by His grace. He makes Hisrevelations clear to mankind so that they may take heed.
Even after that, they broke their covenant; as a result, We laidon them Our curse and hardened their hearts. They tempered withwords out of their context and neglected much of what they wereenjoined. You will always find most of them deceitful except fora few of them. Yet forgive them and overlook their misdeeds.Allah loves those who are kind to others.
Get the singles among you married as well as those who are fitfor marriage among your male slaves and female slaves. If theyare poor, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace:for Allah has boundless resources and is All-Knowing.
And let those who do not find means to marry keep themselveschaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. As for thoseof your slaves who wish to buy out their liberty, execute thedeed of liberty with them if you find them deserving, and givethem some of the wealth which Allah has given you. Do not forceyour slave-girls into prostitution for your own worldly gains, ifthey wish to preserve their chastity; and if anyone forces theminto it, then surely after such a compulsion Allah will beforgiving and merciful to them.
There are others who built a Masjid for mischievous motives(Masjid-e-Zirar), to spread disbelief and to disunite thebelievers, and an outpost for one (Abu 'Amir) who had made waragainst Allah and His Rasool before. They will indeed swear thattheir intentions are nothing but good; but Allah declares thatthey are absolute liars.
You should never stand to offer Salah in it. Certainly the Masjidfounded on piety from the very first day is more deserving thatyou should stand to offer Salah in it; for in it there are menwho love to be purified; and Allah loves those who purifythemselves.
Who is a better person; he who lays the foundation of hisbuilding on piety to Allah and His good pleasure, or he who laysthe foundation of his building on an undermined bank that willtumble down with him into the fire of Hell? Allah does not guidesuch wrongdoers.
The foundation of those who so build is never free from suspicionand shakiness in their hearts until their hearts are cut topieces. Allah is Knowledgeable, Wise.
Say: "Praise be to Allah and peace be on His servants whom He haschosen to deliver His message. Ask them: " Who is better? Allahor the deities they associate with Him?"
And for their prayer Allah has rewarded them with gardens beneathwhich the rivers flow to live therein forever. Such is therecompense of the righteous (who do good to others).
O believers! Indeed most of the (Jewish) rabbis and (Christian)priests misappropriate the wealth of people and hinder them fromthe way of Allah. To those who hoard gold and silver and do notspend it in the way of Allah, proclaim a painful punishment.
The Jews say: "Uzair (Azra) is the son of Allah," and theChristians say: " Messiah (Christ) is the son of Allah." That iswhat they say with their mouths, imitating the sayings of theformer unbelievers. May Allah destroy them! How perverted theyare!

They (Jews and Christians) have taken their rabbis and priests tobe their Lords beside Allah and so they did with Messiah (Jesus)the son of Maryam (Mary), although they were commanded in theTorah and the Gospel to worship none but One Ilah (Allah);besides Whom there is none worthy of worship. Exalted be He abovethose whom they associate with Him.
They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouthsbut Allah will not allow it to happen, for He seeks to perfectHis light even though the disbelievers may dislike it.
After them We sent other Rasools, one after the other, andfollowed them with Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam. We gave him TheInjeel (Gospel), and put compassion and mercy into the hearts ofhis followers. As for monasticism, they instituted it themselves- for We did not enjoin it on them - in order to seek the goodpleasure of Allah, but they did not observe it as it should havebeen observed. Yet We rewarded those among them who were truebelievers, but most of them are transgressors.
So, O Muhammad, pronounce judgement among them according to thelaw which Allah has revealed and do not follow their vaindesires, and beware of them lest they tempt you away from a partof that which Allah has revealed to you. If they reject yourjudgement, then know that it is Allah's wish to scourge them forsome of their sins. In fact most of the people are transgressors.
They say: "None shall enter paradise except he who is a Jew or aChristian." These are their vain desires. Say O Muhammad: "Let ushave your proof if you are right in your claim."
Yea! Whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and is good toothers will be rewarded by his Rabb; he will have nothing to fearor to regret.
The Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allahand His beloved ones." Ask them, "Why then does He punish you foryour sins? Nay! In fact you are human beings like others which Hehas created. He forgives whom He pleases and He punishes whom Hepleases. To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and theearth and all that is between them, and to Him is the finalrefuge."
The Jews say: "The Christians are not on the right track," andthe Christians say: "It is the Jews who are not on the righttrack," yet both read their Holy Books (Torah or Gospel). Andthose who have no knowledge of their Holy Books say like to whatboth of them say; so Allah will judge between them in theirdispute on the Day of Judgment.

Some of the People of the Book say to one another: "Believe inwhat is revealed to the believers (Muslims) in the morning anddeny it in the evening; so that they (the Muslims) may followsuit and abandon their faith.
Do not follow anyone except the one who follows your ownreligion." O Muhammad, tell them: "The only true guidance is theguidance of Allah." These people of the Book do not believe thatrevelation could be sent to anyone besides themselves, like thatwhich has been sent to you; or that they will ever argue with youin the presence of your Rabb. Tell them: "For sure, grace is inthe hands of Allah: He bestows it on whom He pleases; Allah hasboundless knowledge."
The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you, untilyou follow their faith. O Muhammad, tell them : "Allah's guidanceis the only guidance;" and if after all the knowledge you havereceived, you yield to their desires, there shall be none toprotect you or help you from the wrath of Allah.
The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you, untilyou follow their faith. O Muhammad, tell them : "Allah's guidanceis the only guidance;" and if after all the knowledge you havereceived, you yield to their desires, there shall be none toprotect you or help you from the wrath of Allah.
To you, O Muhammad, We have revealed this Book with the truth. Itconfirms whatever has remained intact in the scriptures whichcame before it and also to safeguard it. Therefore, judge betweenpeople according to Allah's revelations and do not yield to theirvain desires diverging from the truth which has come to you. Wehave ordained a law and a Way of life for each of you. If Allahwanted He could have made all of you a single nation. But Hewilled otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you;therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately youall shall return to Allah; then He will show you the truth ofthose matters in which you dispute.
So, O Muhammad, pronounce judgement among them according to thelaw which Allah has revealed and do not follow their vaindesires, and beware of them lest they tempt you away from a partof that which Allah has revealed to you.

By rejecting the Divine Law do they wish to be judged by the lawsof ignorance? Who is a better Judge than Allah for those whobelieve in Him?
You will find the most violent in enmity to the believers are theJews and the mushrikin (pagan Arabs); and nearest in affection tothe believers are those who say: "We are Christians." That isbecause among them there are men that are priests and monks, whodo not behave arrogantly.
When they (monks and priests) listen to that which is revealed tothe Rasool, you can see their eyes filled with tears, becausethey recognize the truth. They say: "Our Rabb! We believe,therefore, write us down among the witnesses of truth.
Why should not we believe in Allah and the truth which has cometo us? Why should we not hope that our Rabb will admit us to thecompany of the righteous?"
O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as your protectingfriends: they are only protecting friends of one another. Whoeverof you disobeys this commandment will be counted as one of them.Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.
You see that those who have the disease of hypocrisy in theirhearts move around in their camp saying: "We fear lest a turn offortune strike us." But soon when Allah gives you victory or adecision according to His will, they will regret for what theyare hiding in their hearts.
Why don't their Rabbis and the Jurists of laws forbid them fromuttering sinful words and eating unlawful things? Evil indeed aretheir deeds.
They (Jews and Christians) have taken their rabbis and priests tobe their Lords beside Allah and so they did with Messiah (Jesus)the son of Maryam (Mary), although they were commanded in theTorah and the Gospel to worship none but One Ilah (Allah);besides Whom there is none worthy of worship.

Jews and Christians say: "Be Jews or Christians, you shall thenbe rightly guided." O Muhammad, say: "By no means! We follow thefaith of Ibrahim, the upright one; and he was not one of themushrikin."
Say: "We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us; andwhat was revealed to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaq(Isaac), Ya'qoob (Jacob) and their descendants, and that whichwas given to Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus) and other Prophets fromtheir Rabb. We do not discriminate any of them, and to Allah wehave surrendered ourselves (in Islam)."
So, if they accept Islam like you, they shall be rightly guided;if they reject it, they will surely fall into dissension (divideinto differing factions); Allah will be your sufficient defenderagainst them, and He hears and knows everything.
Baptism is from Allah; and who is better than Allah in baptizing?Him do we worship.
Say, O Muhammad: "Would you dispute with us concerning Allah, whois our Rabb and your Rabb as well? We shall be accountable to Himfor our deeds and you for yours; to Him alone we are devoted.
Do you claim that Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaq(Isaac), Ya'qoob (Jacob) and their descendants were all Jews orChristians? Are you more knowledgeable than Allah?" Who is morewicked than the one who hides the testimony he has received fromAllah? Allah is not unaware of what you do.

How many cities which were mightier than your city which hasdriven you out, have We destroyed for their disbelief, and therewas none to save them?
Fir'on (Pharaoh) and those before him, and the inhabitants of theoverthrown cities also committed similar sins
Have you not seen how your Rabb dealt with 'Ad?
Narrate to them the example of the people of a certain town towhom the Rasools came.
At first We sent to them two Rasools, but when they rejected bothWe strengthened them with a third and they all said: "Surely wehave been sent to you as Rasools."
But the people replied: "You are but humans like us. TheCompassionate (Allah) has revealed nothing; you are surelylying."
They said: "Our Rabb knows that we have indeed been sent asRasools towards you
and our only duty is to convey His message plainly."
The people replied: "We regard you as an evil omen for us.Desist, or we will either stone you or you will receive from us apainful punishment."
They said: "Your evil omens lies within yourselves. Do you saythis because you are being admonished? Indeed you are a nation oftransgressors."
In the meantime a man came running from the remote part of theCity and said: "O my people! Follow these Rasools.
Follow the ones who ask no reward of you and are rightly guided.
It would not be justifiable on my part if I do not worship HimWho has created me and to Whom you shall be brought back.
Should I take other gods besides Him? If the Compassionate(Allah) should intend to harm me, their intercession will availme nothing, nor will they be able to save me.
If I do so, I would indeed be in manifest error.
Surely I believe in your Rabb, so listen to me".
Consequently they killed that man and it was said to him: "Enterparadise." He exclaimed: "Would that my people knew that what Iknow!
How my Rabb has granted me forgiveness and included me among thehonored ones."
After that We did not send any army against his people fromheaven, nor was it necessary to do so.
It was nothing but a single blast and they all became extinct.
Guard yourselves against temptation. The wrongdoers among you arenot the only ones who will be tempted; and know that Allah isstrict in retribution.
The Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allahand His beloved ones." Ask them, "Why then does He punish you foryour sins? Nay! In fact you are human beings like others which Hehas created. He forgives whom He pleases and He punishes whom Hepleases. To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and theearth and all that is between them, and to Him is the finalrefuge."
They say: "None shall enter paradise except he who is a Jew or aChristian." These are their vain desires. Say O Muhammad: "Let ushave your proof if you are right in your claim."
Yea! Whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and is good toothers will be rewarded by his Rabb; he will have nothing to fearor to regret.

O children of Adam! Whenever there come to you Rasools from amongyou and recite to you My revelations, those who will becomerighteous and mend their ways will have nothing to fear or toregret;
All food, that is lawful in Islamic Law, was also Halal (lawful)for the children of Israel except what Israel (Ya'qoob) madeHaram (unlawful) for himself before the Taurat (Torah) wasrevealed to Musa. Ask them: "Bring the Taurat (Torah) and read apassage from it in support of your objection, if what you say istrue."
