But, surely the record of the righteous is in `Illiyeen (registerof exalted ones),
O believers! Do not offer your Salah when you are drunk until youknow what you are saying; nor after seminal emission, except whenyou are travelling, unless you wash your whole body. If you aresick, or on a journey, or one of you has used the toilet, or hashad contact with women (sexual relation with wives) and can findno water, then make Tayammum: take some clean earth and rub yourfaces and hands with it. Allah is Lenient, Forgiving.
O believers! When you rise up for Salah (prayer), wash your facesand your hands as far as the elbows, wipe your heads with wethands and wash your feet to the ankles. If you had an emission ofsemen, then take a full bath. However, if you are sick or on ajourney or you have used the toilet or you had intercourse withyour women (your wife) and you do not find any water then resortto Tayammum - find clean soil and rub your faces and hands withit. Allah does not wish to burden you; He only wishes to purifyyou and to perfect His favor upon you, so that you may bethankful.
When you, O Muhammad, are with them, leading their Salah (prayerin the state of war), let one party of them stand up to pray withyou, armed with their weapons. After they finish theirprostrations, let them withdraw to the rear and let the otherparty who have not yet prayed come forward to pray with you; andlet them also be on their guard, armed with their weapons. Theunbelievers wish to see you neglect your arms and your baggage,so that they could suddenly attack to overpower you all in onestroke. However, there is no blame on you if you lay aside yourarms because of heavy rain or because you are sick, but youshould still be on your guard. Allah has prepared a humiliatingpunishment for the unbelievers.
As for those who believe and do good deeds and believe in what isrevealed to Muhammad - the truth from their Rabb - He will removefrom them their evils and improve their condition.
You are forbidden to eat the meat of any animal that dies byitself (dead body), blood, the flesh of swine (pork) and that onwhich any name other than Allah has been invoked; also that whichis strangled to death , killed by a violent blow, killed by aheadlong fall and of those beaten or gored to death; and thatwhich has been partly eaten by a wild animal unless you are ableto slaughter it before its death; also that which is sacrificedon altars or is divided by raffling of arrows. All these aresinful acts. Today the unbelievers have given up all their hopeof vanquishing your religion. Have no fear of them, fear Me.Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favorupon you and approved Al-Islam as a Deen (way of life for you).Anyone who is compelled by hunger to eat what is forbidden, notintending to commit sin, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
If any of your women are guilty of fornication, ask for fourreliable witnesses from among yourselves against them; and ifthey testify and their guilt is proved, confine them to theirhouses until they die or Allah opens some other way out for them.
O Muhammad, We have not granted immortality to any human beforeyou: so if you are to die, will these unbelievers live forever?
Every soul is bound to have the taste of death. We are puttingall of you to a test by passing you through bad and goodconditions, and finally you shall return to Us.
They think they have conferred upon you a favor by embracingIslam. Tell them: "You have conferred upon me no favor byaccepting Islam. It was Allah Who has conferred a favor upon youin guiding you to the true faith; admit this, if you are men oftruth.

Unclean women are for unclean men, and unclean men are forunclean women; and pure women are for pure men, and pure men arefor pure women. They are free from the slanderer's accusations;for them there shall be forgiveness and honorable provision fromAllah.
Allah heard when the wife of Imran said, "O my Rabb! I dedicateto Your service what is in my womb. Please accept it from me. Youalone hear all and know all."
They solemnly swear by Allah that if you command them, they willgo forth leaving their homes. O Muhammad tell them: "Do notswear; your obedience not your oaths will count; surely Allah isfully aware of what you do."
Some from among the desert Arabs also came with their excuses,begging exemption to stay behind; thus, those who lied to Allahand His Rasool sat inactive. Soon a painful punishment shallseize those of them who disbelieved.
It is not proper for the people of Madinah and the beduin Arabsof the neighborhood to forsake the Rasool of Allah or tojeopardize his life so as to safeguard their own: because they donot suffer any thirst or hunger or any ordeal for the sake ofAllah, or take any step which may provoke the unbelievers, orreceive any injury from an enemy, but shall be written down as agood deed to their account; for Allah does not waste the rewardof the righteous.
The way (blame) is only against those who begged exemptionalthough they are rich. They preferred to be with those whoremained behind. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts; so theydo not know what they missed.
They will apologize to you with all sorts of excuses when youreturn to them. Say: "Present no excuses: we shall not believeyou: Allah has already revealed to us the whole truth about you.Now Allah and His Rasool will keep a watch over your conduct: inthe end you will return to Him who knows what is hidden and whatis open, and He will tell you all that you have been doing."
They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them so thatyou may leave them alone. So leave them alone: they are filth.Hell shall be their abode, a punishment for their misdeeds.
They will swear to you in order to please you, but even if you bepleased with them (accept their excuses), Allah will never bepleased with these transgressors.
Those who remained behind (did not join the Tabuk expedition)were delighted to sit inactive behind Allah's Rasool, and theyhated to make Jihad with their goods and their persons in thecause of Allah. They said to each other "Do not go forth in theheat." Say to them: "The fire of hell is much more severe inheat." If only they could understand!
Let them laugh a little; much will they weep as a recompense forwhat they have earned.
From now on, if Allah brings you among them and any of them askyour permission to go forth for Jihad, say: "You shall never beallowed to go forth with me nor fight an enemy in my company. Youchose to sit inactive on the first occasion, therefore you shallnow stay with those who stay behind."
You shall never offer funeral prayer for any of them who dies,nor shall you attend their burial, for they have denied Allah andHis Rasool and died while they were transgressors.
Let neither their wealth nor their children dazzle you. Throughthese Allah wants to punish them in this world and let theirsouls depart while they are still disbelievers.
Whenever a Surah is revealed, saying: " Believe in Allah and makeJihad along with His Rasool," capable people among them ask youfor exemption, saying: "Please leave us with those who are tostay at home."
They preferred to be with those who remain behind, as a result, aseal was set upon their hearts so that they do not understand.
Men are overseers over women because Allah has given the one morestrength than other, and because men are required to spend theirwealth for the maintenance of women. Honorable women are,therefore, devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absencewhat Allah require them to guard their husband's property andtheir own honor. As to those women from whom you feardisobedience, first admonish them, then refuse to share your bedwith them, and then, if necessary, beat them. Then if they obeyyou, take no further actions against them and do not make excusesto punish them. Allah is Supremely Great and is aware of youractions.
Do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites, disregard theirannoyances and put your trust in Allah; for Allah is sufficientas a disposer of affairs.
Do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites, disregard theirannoyances and put your trust in Allah; for Allah is sufficientas a disposer of affairs.
Do not be inclined to those who are unjust, lest you be seized bythe fire; and you will not have any protector besides Allah, noryou shall be helped.
Had they gone with you they would have added nothing butmischief, and they would have made efforts to create disorderamong your ranks, and there would have been some among you whowould have listened to them. Allah knows the wrongdoers.
And there is none comparable to Him.

In fact, as for those who reject Faith; it is the same, whetheryou warn them or you don't, they will not believe.
Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, their eyes arecovered, and there is a grievous punishment for them.
and We have put a barrier in front of them and a barrier behindthem, and then We have covered them over so they cannot see.
It is the same for them whether you warn them or warn them not,they will not believe.
You can only warn those who follow the reminder and fears theCompassionate (Allah), though they cannot see Him. To such peoplegive good news of forgiveness and a generous reward.
O mankind, you have been distracted by the rivalry of piling upworldly gains against one another.
You will never be satisfied until you get into the grave.
Nevertheless, soon you shall come to know.
Again, nevertheless, soon you shall come to know.
Nay! Would that you knew through the real knowledge provided toyou in this Qur'an and care about your life in the Hereafter.
Because on the Day of Judgement when you shall see the hell,
and see it with the certainty of your own eyes
- you shall believe it, but that belief is going to do you nogood because - on that Day, you shall be questioned about theblessings (faculties and resources that you were given in theworldly life - as to how you used them?)
