Muhsin Khan
: O you who believe! Fulfill (your) obligations. Lawful to you (for
food) are all the beasts of cattle except that which will be
announced to you (herein), game (also) being unlawful when you
assume Ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage). Verily, Allah
commands that which He wills.
Sahih International
: O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts. Lawful for you are
the animals of grazing livestock except for that which is recited to
you [in this Qur'an] - hunting not being permitted while you are in
the state of ihram. Indeed, Allah ordains what He intends.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O you who believe, fulfil your bonds, the covenants confirmed between you
and God and [between you and other] people. Lawful to you is the beast of
the flocks, camels, cattle, and sheep [and goats], to eat after slaughtering
[them], except that which is now being recited to you, as forbidden in [the
verse below] Forbidden to you are carrion[Q. 5:3]; the exceptive clause
here is a discontinuous one, but may also be continuous; the forbidding
concerns that which has succumbed to death and the like; game not being
lawful to you when you are on pilgrimage (hurum means muhrimn; ghayra,
not, is in the accusative as [it introduces] a circumstantial qualifier
referring to the subject of the pronoun lakum, to you). Verily, God decrees
whatever He desires, in the way of making [things] lawful or otherwise, and
there can be no objection thereto.

Indonesian
: Hai orang-orang yang beriman, penuhilah aqad-aqad itu.
Dihalalkan bagimu binatang ternak, kecuali yang akan dibacakan
kepadamu. (Yang demikian itu) dengan tidak menghalalkan
berburu ketika kamu sedang mengerjakan haji. Sesungguhnya
Allah menetapkan hukum-hukum menurut yang dikehendaki-Nya.

Muhsin Khan
: O you who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the Symbols of
Allah, nor of the Sacred Month, nor of the animals brought for
sacrifice, nor the garlanded people or animals, etc. [Marked by the
garlands on their necks made from the outer part of the tree-stems
(of Makkah) for their security], nor the people coming to the
Sacred House (Makkah), seeking the bounty and good pleasure of
their Lord. But when you finish the Ihram (of Hajj or 'Umrah), you
may hunt, and let not the hatred of some people in (once) stopping
you from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) lead you to transgression
(and hostility on your part). Help you one another in Al-Birr and AtTaqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one
another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is
Severe in punishment.
Sahih International
: O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or [the
sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the
sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of]
those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord
and [His] approval. But when you come out of ihram, then [you
may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having
obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram lead you to transgress.
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in
sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in
penalty.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O you who believe, do not profane Gods sacraments (shair is the plural
of shara), that is, the [ritual] ceremonies of the religion, by hunting [game]
while you are on pilgrimage, nor the sacred month, by fighting in it, nor the
offering, that is, the boon offered in the [Meccan] Sanctuary, by interfering
with it, nor the garlands (qalid, is the plural of qilda, and these, made
from the trees around the Sanctuary, were placed around it [the offering] to
protect it), in other words, do not interfere with these [offerings] or with

those who place them; nor, violate the sanctity of, those repairing, those
heading, to the Sacred House, by fighting them [who are], seeking bounty,
provision, from their Lord, through commerce, and, His, beatitude, by
resorting to Him, as they [the Meccans pagans] falsely claimed (this was
abrogated by the bara verse [of srat al-Tawba, Q. 9:4]). But when you are
discharged, from pilgrimage inviolability, then hunt for game (a command
denoting permission). And let not hatred (read shananu or shannu) of a
people that, because [they], barred you from the Sacred Mosque cause you
to commit aggression, against them by killing them or otherwise. Help one
another to righteousness, by doing that to which you were enjoined, and
piety, by refraining from what you have been forbidden; do not help one
another (tawan: one of the two original t letters [in tatawan] has
been omitted) to sin, acts of disobedience, and enmity, transgression of
Gods bounds. And fear God, fear His punishment by being obedient to Him;
surely God is severe in retribution, against those that oppose Him.

Indonesian
: Hai orang-orang yang beriman, janganlah kamu melanggar syi'arsyi'ar Allah, dan jangan melanggar kehormatan bulan-bulan haram,
jangan (mengganggu) binatang-binatang had-ya, dan binatangbinatang qalaa-id, dan jangan (pula) mengganggu orang-orang
yang mengunjungi Baitullah sedang mereka mencari kurnia dan
keridhaan dari Tuhannya dan apabila kamu telah menyelesaikan
ibadah haji, maka bolehlah berburu. Dan janganlah sekali-kali
kebencian(mu) kepada sesuatu kaum karena mereka menghalanghalangi kamu dari Masjidilharam, mendorongmu berbuat aniaya
(kepada mereka). Dan tolong-menolonglah kamu dalam
(mengerjakan) kebajikan dan takwa, dan jangan tolong-menolong
dalam berbuat dosa dan pelanggaran. Dan bertakwalah kamu
kepada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah amat berat siksa-Nya.

Muhsin Khan
: Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maytatah (the dead animals cattle-beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the
meat of that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others
than Allah, or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which
Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering, and that
which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a
headlong fall, or by the goring of horns - and that which has been
(partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless you are able to slaughter it
(before its death) - and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on AnNusub (stone altars). (Forbidden) also is to use arrows seeking luck
or decision, (all) that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allah and sin). This
day, those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion,
so fear them not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your
religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen
for you Islam as your religion. But as for him who is forced by
severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat these abovementioned meats), then surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
Sahih International
: Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and
that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those
animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long
fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal
has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its
death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and
[prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That

is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have

despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear
Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed
My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But
whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then
indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: Forbidden to you is carrion, that is, the consumption of it, and blood, that
is, what has been spilt, as mentioned in [srat] al-Anm [Q. 6:145], and the
flesh of swine, and what has been hallowed to other than God, in that it was
sacrificed in the name of something other than Him, and the beast strangled,
to death, and the beast beaten down, to death, and the beast fallen, from a
height to its death, and the beast gored, to death by another, and what
beasts of prey have devoured, of such animals except for what you have
sacrificed duly, catching it while it still breathes life and then sacrificing it
and what has been sacrificed in, the name of, idols (nusub is the plural of
nusb) and that you apportion, that is, that you demand an oath or a ruling,
through the divining of arrows (azlm: the plural of zalam or zulam, which is
a qidh, a small arrow, without feathers or a head). There were seven of
these [arrows], [marked] with flags, and they were retained by the keeper of
the Kaba. They would use them for abitrations and when they commanded
them they obeyed, and if they prohibited them they would desist; that is
wickedness, a rebellion against obedience. And on the Day of Arafa in the
year of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the following was revealed: Today the
disbelievers have despaired of your religion, of you apostatising from it,
having hoped for it [earlier], for now they perceived its strength; therefore
do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you,
that is, its rulings and obligations (after this [verse] nothing about [what is]
lawful or unlawful was revealed) and I have completed My favour upon you,
by perfecting it [your religion], but it is also said by [effecting] their safe
entry into Mecca; and I have approved, chosen, Islam for you as religion. But
whoever is constrained by emptiness, by hunger, to consume some of what
has been forbidden him and consumes it, not inclining purposely to sin, to an
act of disobedience then God is Forgiving, to him for what he has
consumed, Merciful, to him by permitting it to him, in contrast to the one
who [purposely] inclines to sin, that is, the one actively engaged in it, such
as a waylayer or a criminal, for whom [such] consumption is forbidden.

Indonesian
: Diharamkan bagimu (memakan) bangkai, darah, daging babi,
(daging hewan) yang disembelih atas nama selain Allah, yang
tercekik, yang terpukul, yang jatuh, yang ditanduk, dan diterkam
binatang buas, kecuali yang sempat kamu menyembelihnya, dan
(diharamkan bagimu) yang disembelih untuk berhala. Dan
(diharamkan juga) mengundi nasib dengan anak panah, (mengundi
nasib dengan anak panah itu) adalah kefasikan. Pada hari ini
orang-orang kafir telah putus asa untuk (mengalahkan) agamamu,
sebab itu janganlah kamu takut kepada mereka dan takutlah
kepada-Ku. Pada hari ini telah Kusempurnakan untuk kamu

agamamu, dan telah Ku-cukupkan kepadamu nikmat-Ku, dan telah

Ku-ridhai Islam itu jadi agama bagimu. Maka barang siapa terpaksa
karena kelaparan tanpa sengaja berbuat dosa, sesungguhnya Allah
Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

Muhsin Khan
: They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) what is lawful for them (as
food ). Say: "Lawful unto you are At-Tayyibat [all kind of Halal
(lawful-good) foods which Allah has made lawful (meat of
slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and
fruits, etc.)]. And those beasts and birds of prey which you have
trained as hounds, training and teaching them (to catch) in the
manner as directed to you by Allah; so eat of what they catch for
you, but pronounce the Name of Allah over it, and fear Allah. Verily,
Allah is Swift in reckoning."
Sahih International
: They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for
them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught
by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as
Allah has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and
mention the name of Allah upon it, and fear Allah ." Indeed, Allah is
swift in account.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: They will ask you, O Muhammad (s), about what, food, is made lawful for
them. Say: The good, delicious, things are made lawful for you; and the,
quarry of, hunting creatures, dogs, wildcats or birds that catch food, you
have taught, training [them] as hounds (mukallibn is a circumstantial
qualifier, derived from kallabtu al-kalba, meaning, I released the hound
against the quarry) teaching them (tuallimnahunna is a circumstantial
qualifier referring to the subject of mukallibn, training [them] as hounds,
in other words, disciplining them) of what God has taught you, of the art of
hunting; so eat what they have caught for you, even if they have killed it, as
long as they have not eaten any of it. This is in contrast to the untrained
[hunting creatures], whose catch is not lawful [for consumption]: the mark of
these [being trained hunting creatures] is that they should return after they
have been sent out, that they can be curbed when cried at and that they can

seize the quarry without eating of it; the minimum number of times by which
this may be known is three. If they eat any of it, then it cannot be counted as
what they have caught for their trainers, and is consequently unlawful for
consumption, as reported in hadth in both of the Sahhs [of Bukhr and
Muslim] therein it is also mentioned that a catch made by an arrow over
which Gods name is mentioned is equivalent [in lawfulness] to the catch of
trained hunting creatures. And mention Gods name over it, when you
unleash it. And fear God. Indeed, God is swift at the reckoning.

Indonesian
: Mereka menanyakan kepadamu: "Apakah yang dihalalkan bagi
mereka?". Katakanlah: "Dihalalkan bagimu yang baik-baik dan
(buruan yang ditangkap) oleh binatang buas yang telah kamu ajar
dengan melatih nya untuk berburu; kamu mengajarnya menurut
apa yang telah diajarkan Allah kepadamu. Maka makanlah dari apa
yang ditangkapnya untukmu, dan sebutlah nama Allah atas
binatang buas itu (waktu melepaskannya). Dan bertakwalah kepada
Allah, sesungguhnya Allah amat cepat hisab-Nya.

Muhsin Khan
: Made lawful to you this day are At-Tayyibat [all kinds of Halal
(lawful) foods, which Allah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered
eatable animals, etc., milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits,
etc.). The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals, etc.) of the
people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and
yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste
women from the believers and chaste women from those who were
given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when
you have given their due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband
to his wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e. taking
them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse,
nor taking them as girl-friends. And whosoever disbelieves in the
Oneness of Allah and in all the other Articles of Faith [i.e. His
(Allah's), Angels, His Holy Books, His Messengers, the Day of

Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless

is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
Sahih International
: This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of
those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food
is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from
among the believers and chaste women from among those who
were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them
their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual
intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be
among the losers.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: Today the good, the delicious, things are permitted to you, and the food of
those who were given the Scripture, that is, animals slaughtered by the Jews
and Christians, is permitted to you, and permitted to them is your food.
Likewise, the believing, free, married women, and the married women of
those who were given the Scripture before you, are permitted to you for
marriage, if you give them their wages, their dowries, in wedlock, in
marriage, and not illicitly, fornicating overtly with them, or taking them as
lovers, so as to fornicate with them secretly. Whoever disbelieves in faith,
that is, [whose] apostatises, his, prior good, work has indeed failed, and so it
counts for nothing and he will not be rewarded for it, and in the Hereafter
he shall be among the losers, if he dies in this state [of unbelief].

Indonesian
: Pada hari ini dihalalkan bagimu yang baik-baik. Makanan
(sembelihan) orang-orang yang diberi Al Kitab itu halal bagimu,
dan makanan kamu halal (pula) bagi mereka. (Dan dihalalkan
mangawini) wanita yang menjaga kehormatan diantara wanitawanita yang beriman dan wanita-wanita yang menjaga kehormatan
di antara orang-orang yang diberi Al Kitab sebelum kamu, bila
kamu telah membayar mas kawin mereka dengan maksud
menikahinya, tidak dengan maksud berzina dan tidak (pula)
menjadikannya gundik-gundik. Barangsiapa yang kafir sesudah
beriman (tidak menerima hukum-hukum Islam) maka hapuslah
amalannya dan ia di hari kiamat termasuk orang-orang merugi.

Muhsin Khan
: O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer),
wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub
(by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to
ankles. If you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. had a sexual discharge),
purify yourself (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a
journey or any of you comes from answering the call of nature, or
you have been in contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse) and
you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth and
rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah does not want to place
you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His
Favour on you that you may be thankful.
Sahih International
: O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash
your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your
heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of
janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or
one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have
contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and
wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to
make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete
His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O you who believe, when you stand up, that is, when you intend to go, to
pray, and you are in [a state of] ritual impurity, wash your faces, and your
hands up to the elbows, that is, including them [the elbows], as is clarified in
the Sunna; and wipe your heads (the b in bi-rusikum is for adherence),
that is to say, wipe over [the head] adhering [the hand] closely, without

[excessive] water pouring over; the noun [ras, head] is generic, and so the
minimum required to fulfil [the stipulation] is acceptable, which is the
wiping of some of the hair, as al-Shfi asserts); and your feet (read waarjulakum in the accusative as a supplement to aydyakum; or wa-arjulikum
in the genitive because of its adjacency to [the genitive] bi-rusikum), up to
the ankles, that is, including them [the ankles], as is clarified in the Sunna,
and they are the two protruding bones at the juncture of the legs and the
feet. The interposing of the wiping of the head between [the mention of] the
hands and the feet, which are washed, is intended to show the requirement
of [a specific] order during the purification of these limbs, as al-Shfi
asserts. In addition, the requirement of making intention (niyya) in this
[ablution], as in the other rituals of worship, is taken from the Sunna. If you
are defiled, purify, wash, yourselves; but if you are sick, with an illness made
worse by water, or on a journey, travelling, or if any of you comes from the
privy, that is, [if] he has defecated, or you have touched women (as
mentioned already in the verse in [srat] al-Nis [Q. 4:43]), and you cannot
find water, having made the effort to look for it, then head for, seek,
wholesome dust, that is, clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands,
including the elbows, with it, using two strikes (the b of bi-wujhikum,
your faces, denotes adherence; it is explained in the Sunna that the
requirement here is for the wiping to encompass the whole of these two
parts. God does not desire to make any hardship for you, any constraint, in
the obligations He has imposed on you with regard to ablution, washing and
purification with dust; but He desires to purify you, of filth and sins, and that
He may perfect His grace upon you, through Islam, by explaining the laws of
the religion; so that you might give thanks, for His graces.

Indonesian
: Hai orang-orang yang beriman, apabila kamu hendak
mengerjakan shalat, maka basuhlah mukamu dan tanganmu
sampai dengan siku, dan sapulah kepalamu dan (basuh) kakimu
sampai dengan kedua mata kaki, dan jika kamu junub maka
mandilah, dan jika kamu sakit atau dalam perjalanan atau kembali
dari tempat buang air (kakus) atau menyentuh perempuan, lalu
kamu tidak memperoleh air, maka bertayammumlah dengan tanah
yang baik (bersih); sapulah mukamu dan tanganmu dengan tanah
itu. Allah tidak hendak menyulitkan kamu, tetapi Dia hendak
membersihkan kamu dan menyempurnakan nikmat-Nya bagimu,
supaya kamu bersyukur.

pledge, which He made, He bound, with you when you said, to the Prophet
(s) upon pledging allegiance to him: We hear and we obey, all that you
command and forbid, of what we love and what we despise. And fear God, in
His covenant, lest you break it. Surely God knows what is in the breasts, that
is, what is in the hearts [of people], all the more reason for [Him to have
knowledge of] other things.

Muhsin Khan
: O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just
witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you
avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily,
Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Sahih International
: O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah ,
witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent
you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And
fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O you who believe, be upright before God, in [fulfilling] what is His due,
witnesses in equity, in justice. Let not hatred of a people, namely, the
disbelievers, cause you not to be just, and to harm them on account of their

enmity; be just, towards both friend and foe, that, justice, is nearer to Godfearing. And fear God; surely God is aware of what you do, and will requite
you for it.

Indonesian
: Hai orang-orang yang beriman hendaklah kamu jadi orang-orang

Muhsin Khan
: Indeed Allah took the covenant from the Children of Israel (Jews),
and We appointed twelve leaders among them. And Allah said: "I
am with you if you perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give
Zakat and believe in My Messengers; honour and assist them, and
lend to Allah a good loan. Verily, I will remit your sins and admit
you to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise). But if any of
you after this, disbelieved, he has indeed gone astray from the
Straight Path."
Sahih International
: And Allah had already taken a covenant from the Children of
Israel, and We delegated from among them twelve leaders. And
Allah said, "I am with you. If you establish prayer and give zakah
and believe in My messengers and support them and loan Allah a
goodly loan, I will surely remove from you your misdeeds and admit
you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever of you
disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the soundness of
the way."
Tafsir Jalalayn
: God had made a covenant with the Children of Israel, for what will be
mentioned shortly, and We raised up (there is a shift of address away from
the third [to the first] person) from among them twelve leaders, from each
tribe one leader, to be responsible for his peoples fulfilment of the covenant,
as a way of binding them [to it]. And God said, to them: I am with you,
helping and assisting. Surely if (la-in, the lm is for oaths) you establish the
prayer, and pay the alms, and believe in My messengers and succour them,
help them, and lend to God a goodly loan, by expending in His way, I will
absolve you of your evil deeds, and I will admit you to gardens underneath
which rivers flow. So whoever of you disbelieves after that, covenant, surely
he has strayed from the right way, he has erred from the path to Paradise
(al-saw originally means the middle way). And they broke the covenant.

Indonesian
: Dan sesungguhnya Allah telah mengambil perjanjian (dari) Bani
Israil dan telah Kami angkat diantara mereka 12 orang pemimpin
dan Allah berfirman: "Sesungguhnya Aku beserta kamu,
sesungguhnya jika kamu mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat
serta beriman kepada rasul-rasul-Ku dan kamu bantu mereka dan
kamu pinjamkan kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik sesungguhnya
Aku akan menutupi dosa-dosamu. Dan sesungguhnya kamu akan
Kumasukkan ke dalam surga yang mengalir air didalamnya sungaisungai. Maka barangsiapa yang kafir di antaramu sesudah itu,
sesungguhnya ia telah tersesat dari jalan yang lurus.

Muhsin Khan
: So because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them,
and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from
their (right) places and have abandoned a good part of the
Message that was sent to them. And you will not cease to discover
deceit in them, except a few of them. But forgive them, and
overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (gooddoers - see V.2:112).
Sahih International
: So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made
their hearts hard. They distort words from their [proper] usages
and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded.
And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them.
But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves
the doers of good.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: God says: So because (bi-m, the m is extra) of their breaking their
covenant, We cursed them, We removed them from Our mercy, and made
their hearts hard, unyielding to the acceptance of faith; they pervert words,
pertaining to the descriptions of Muhammad (s) in the Torah and other
things, from their contexts, those in which God has placed them, in other
words, they substitute them; and they have forgotten, they have abandoned,
a portion, a part, of what they were reminded of, [of what] they were

enjoined to in the Torah, in the way of following Muhammad (s); and you
addressing the Prophet (s) now will never cease to discover some
treachery on their part, in the way of breaking a covenant or some other
matter, except for a few of them, who have submitted themselves [to Islam].
Yet pardon them, and forgive; surely God loves the virtuous: this was
abrogated by the sword verse [Q. 9:5].

dan Kami jadikan hati mereka keras membatu. Mereka suka
merubah perkataan (Allah) dari tempat-tempatnya, dan mereka
(sengaja) melupakan sebagian dari apa yang mereka telah
diperingatkan dengannya, dan kamu (Muhammad) senantiasa akan
melihat kekhianatan dari mereka kecuali sedikit diantara mereka
(yang tidak berkhianat), maka maafkanlah mereka dan biarkan
mereka, sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berbuat
baik.

Muhsin Khan
: And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their
covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message
that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and
hatred till the Day of Resurrection (when they discarded Allah's
Book, disobeyed Allah's Messengers and His Orders and
transgressed beyond bounds in Allah's disobedience), and Allah will
inform them of what they used to do.
Sahih International
: And from those who say, "We are Christians" We took their
covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were
reminded. So We caused among them animosity and hatred until
the Day of Resurrection. And Allah is going to inform them about
what they used to do.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: And with those who say We are Christians (this is semantically connected
to [what follows]) We made a covenant, just as We did with the Children of
Israel, the Jews, and they have forgotten a portion of that they were
reminded of, in the Gospel, pertaining to faith and other matters, and they

[too] broke the covenant. So We have stirred up, We have caused, among
them enmity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection, on account of their
schisms and differing whims, each sect charging the other with unbelief; and
God will assuredly tell them, in the Hereafter, of what they wrought, and
requite them for this.

Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth
together?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and
the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills.
And Allah is Able to do all things.
Sahih International

son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had
intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or
everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the
heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates
what He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: They indeed are disbelievers those who say, God is the Messiah, son of
Mary, insofar as they make him [Jesus] a god, and these were the Jacobites,
a Christian sect. Say: Who then can do anything, [who then can] defend,
against, the chastisement of, God if He desires to destroy the Messiah, son
of Mary, and his mother, and all those who are on earth?, that is to say, none
can do anything of the sort, since if Jesus were a god, he would be able to do
so. And to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and all

earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return (of all).
Sahih International
: But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allah

created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He
wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the
earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final]
destination.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: The Jews and Christians, both of them, say: We are the sons of God, that is,
[we are] like his sons in terms of closeness and rank, and He is like a father
to us in terms of compassion and care, and His beloved ones. Say, to them,
O Muhammad (s): Why then does He chastise you for your sins?, if what you
say is true. For, the father does not punish his son, nor the loving his
beloved; but He has punished you, and therefore you are saying lies. Nay;
you are mortals from among, all, those, mortals, He created, you shall be
rewarded as they are rewarded and you shall be requited as they are
requited. He forgives, him for, whom He wills, forgiveness, and He chastises,
him for, whom He wills, chastisement, and there can be no objection
thereto. For to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth,
and all that is between them; to Him is the journeys end, the [final] return.

leaders that Moses dispatched to bring back news of those giants to
whom God had been gracious, by making them virtuous, for they concealed
what they had discovered about the giants, telling only Moses, unlike the
other leaders, who divulged the news, and so the people became cowardly.
Enter against them by the gate!, the gate of the town, and have no fear of
them, for they are bodies without hearts. For if you enter by it, you will be
victorious: the two [Joshua and Caleb] said this because they were certain of
Gods assistance and the fulfilment of His promise. Put your trust in God, if

age. It is said that they numbered 600,000. Moses and Aaron died in the
wilderness, and this was a mercy for them, and a chastisement for those
others. When Moses was on the verge of death, he asked his Lord to bring

mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with

them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression
unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by
committing the major sins) in the land!.
Sahih International

whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the

whoever saves the life of one, by refraining from slaying, it shall be as if he
had saved the life of all mankind Ibn Abbs said [that the above is meant]
in the sense of violating and protecting its [a souls] sanctity [respectively].

hasten about the earth to do corruption there, by waylaying, is that they
shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on
opposite sides, that is, their right hands and left feet, or be banished from
the land (the aw, or, is [used] to indicate the [separate] application of [each
of] the cases [listed]; thus, death is for those that have only killed;
crucifixion is for those that have killed and stolen property; the cutting off
[of limbs on opposite sides] is for those that have stolen property but have
not killed; while banishment is for those that pose a threat this was stated
by Ibn Abbs and is the opinion of al-Shfi; the more sound of his [al-

death [of the killer], or, it is also said, shortly before [he is killed]; with

: Except for those who (having fled away and then) came back (as
Muslims) with repentance before they fall into your power; in that
case, know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Sahih International
: Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend
them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: Except for such, warmongers and waylayers, as repent before you
overpower them; for know that God is Forgiving, to them of what they have
done, Merciful, to them. This [proviso] is expressed without any statement to
the effect do not submit them to prescribed legal punishment, to point out
that when such a person repents only Gods prescribed punishments (hudd)
and not those deriving from the rights of human beings are waived.
This is how I see it. I do not know of any that have tackled this [topic], and
God knows best. If, then, a person has killed and stolen property, he should
be killed and have his limbs cut off [on opposite sides], but not crucified
this is the more sound of two opinions held by al-Shfi. However, his
repentance is of no avail, once he has been overpowered [by the authorities]
this is also the more sound of two opinions held by him.

: Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or
female, as a recompense for that which they committed, a
punishment by way of example from Allah. And Allah is All-Powerful,
All-Wise.
Sahih International
: [As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in
recompense for what they committed as a deterrent [punishment]
from Allah . And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: And the thieving male and the thieving female (the definite article in both
[nouns] relates to the subject [sc. walladh saraqa wallat saraqat, And the
male who thieves and the female who thieves]; because this [clause]
resembles a conditional statement [sc. if he thieves, if she thieves etc.] the

f has been included in the predicate [faqta, then cut off]) cut off their
hands, that is, the right hand of each of the two from the wristbone; it is
explained in the Sunna that the amputation applies to [the stealing of] a
quarter of a dinar and upwards, and if the person were to re-offend, the left
foot should then be amputated from the ankle, and then [on subsequent reoffending] the left hand [is amputated], followed by the right foot, after which
discretionary punishment is applied; as a requital (jazan is in the accusative
because it is a verbal noun) for what they have earned, and an exemplary
punishment, for both of them, from God; God is Mighty, His way will prevail,
Wise, in His creation.

Allah will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: But whoever repents after his evildoing, refrains from theft, and amends, his
actions, God will relent to him. God is indeed Forgiving, Merciful, in
expressing what has been stated. However, the rights of the victim to have the
penalty of amputation carried out and his property restored are not
[automatically] forgone after repentance. In fact, as is clarified in the Sunna,
only if he is pardoned before being taken to the Imam is the [punishment of]
amputation waived, and al-Shfi is of this opinion.

: O Messenger (Muhammad SAW)! Let not those who hurry to fall

into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: "We believe" with their
mouths but their hearts have no faith. And of the Jews are men who
listen much and eagerly to lies - listen to others who have not come
to you. They change the words from their places; they say, "If you
are given this, take it, but if you are not given this, then beware!"
And whomsoever Allah wants to put in Al-Fitnah [error, because of
his rejecting the Faith], you can do nothing for him against Allah.
Those are the ones whose hearts Allah does not want to purify (from
disbelief and hypocrisy); for them there is a disgrace in this world,
and in the Hereafter a great torment.
Sahih International
: O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief of
those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts
believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to
falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you.
They distort words beyond their [proper] usages, saying "If you are
given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he
for whom Allah intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do]
for him a thing against Allah . Those are the ones for whom Allah
does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is
disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O Messenger, let them not grieve you, the actions of, those who vie with one
another in disbelief, falling headlong into it, in other words, they [who]
manifest it at every opportunity, of (min here is explicative) such as say with
their mouths, with their tongues (bi-alsinatihim is semantically connected to
ql, [such] as say), We believe but their hearts do not believe, and these
are the hypocrites; and from among those of Jewry, there is a folk, who listen
to calumny, fabricated by their rabbis, listening acceptingly, listening to, you,
on behalf of some, other folk, from among the Jews, who have not come to
you: these were the inhabitants of Khaybar, among whom two married
persons committed adultery, but whom they did not want to stone. And so
they dispatched [men from] Qurayza to ask the Prophet (s) about the ruling
concerning the two; perverting words, that are in the Torah, such as the
stoning verse, from their contexts, [the contexts] in which God had placed
them, that is to say, substituting them, saying, to the ones they dispatched: If
you are given this, distorted ruling, that is, flogging, which Muhammad (s) has
pronounced for you as a ruling, then take it, accept it; but if you are not given
it, and he pronounces some other ruling for you, then beware!, of accepting
it! Whomever God desires to try, to lead astray, you cannot avail him anything
against God, by preventing such [a trial]. Those are they whose hearts God
did not desire to purify, of unbelief, for had He desired it, you would have
[been able to do something for them]; theirs shall be degradation in this
world, humiliation, by being disgraced and subjected to the jizya, and in the
Hereafter theirs shall be a great chastisement.

(juga) di antara orang-orang Yahudi. (Orang-orang Yahudi itu) amat
suka mendengar (berita-berita) bohong dan amat suka mendengar
perkataan-perkataan orang lain yang belum pernah datang

Muhsin Khan
: (They like to) listen to falsehood, to devour anything forbidden. So
if they come to you (O Muhammad SAW), either judge between
them, or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they
cannot hurt you in the least. And if you judge, judge with justice
between them. Verily, Allah loves those who act justly.
Sahih International
: [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is]
unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muhammad], judge between
them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between
them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: They are, listeners to calumny and consumers of unlawful gain (read suhut
or suht), that which is illicit, such as bribes. If they come to you, to judge
between them, then judge between them or turn away from them: the
[second] option given here was abrogated by His saying, So judge between
them [to the end of] the verse [Q. 5:48]. Therefore, we [Muslims] are obliged

to judge between them if they request arbitration before us and this is the
more sound of al-Shfis two opinions. If their request for arbitration
involves a Muslim, however, then we are obliged to judge according to the
consensus [of legal scholars and not just al-Shfi]); if you turn away from
them, they cannot harm you at all; and if you judge, between them, then judge
justly between them; God loves the just, those that judge fairly, meaning that
He will reward them.

kamu berpaling dari mereka maka mereka tidak akan memberi

submitted themselves to Allah's Will, judged the Jews. And the
rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah)
after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of
Allah's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not
men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable
price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed,
such are the Kafirun (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do
not act on Allah's Laws).
Sahih International
: Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light.
The prophets who submitted [to Allah ] judged by it for the Jews, as
did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted
of the Scripture of Allah , and they were witnesses thereto. So do
not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for
a small price. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has
revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: Surely We revealed the Torah, wherein is guidance, from error, and light,
that is, an exposition of the rulings, by which the prophets, from the Children
of Israel, who had submitted, [who] had been compliant before God, judged
for those of Jewry, as did the rabbis, the scholars among them, and the
priests, the jurists, according to, because of, that which they were bidden to
observe, [that which] was entrusted to them, that is to say, [that which] God
bid them to observe, of Gods Scripture, lest they change it, and were
witnesses to, its truth. So do not fear men, O Jews, in disclosing what you
have pertaining to the descriptions of Muhammad (s), the stoning verse and
otherwise; but fear Me, when you conceal it; and do not sell, do not exchange,
My signs for a small price, of this world, which you take in return for

concealing them. Whoever does not judge according to what God has revealed

be amputated, for an ear, and a tooth, should be pulled out, for a tooth (a
variant reading has the last four [nouns] in the nominative); and for wounds
(read wal-jurhu or wal-jurha) retaliation, that is, the person is entitled to
retaliate if this is feasible, as in the case of a hand or a leg; but in cases where

one is not able to [retaliate], this is left to arbitration. Although this

stipulation was prescribed for them, it is established in our Law; but whoever
forgoes it, that is, retaliation, out of charity, able to restrain himself, then that
shall be an expiation for him, of what he has done [of other sins]. Whoever

: And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy),
they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We fear lest some misfortune
of a disaster may befall us." Perhaps Allah may bring a victory or a
decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for
what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves.

Sahih International
: So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into
[association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may
strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from
Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing
within themselves, regretful.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: And you see those in whose hearts is sickness, weakness of faith, the like of
Abd Allh b. Ubayy the hypocrite; vying with one another for them, to affiliate
with them, saying, as an excuse for this: We fear lest we suffer a turn of
fortune, which time will bring round against us, such as drought or defeat,
and that if Muhammads affair should come to nothing, they will cease to
supply us with provisions. God, exalted be He, says: But it may be that God
will bring victory, by assisting His Prophet and making His religion prevail; or
some commandment from Him, that will reveal the secrets of the hypocrites,
disgracing them; and then they will end up, for what they kept secret within
themselves, in the way of doubt and affiliating with disbelievers, remorseful.

Sahih International
: And those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by
Allah their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their
deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: And they say (read wa-yaqlu, or just yaqlu, to indicate a new

Are these the ones who swore by God their most earnest oaths, making the
utmost effort thereby [to swear], that they were surely with you?, in religion.
God, exalted be He, says: Their, good, works have failed, are invalid; and they
have become, they have ended up as, the losers, in this world, through
ignominy, and in the Hereafter, through their punishment.

Muhsin Khan
: O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his
religion (Islam), Allah will bring a people whom He will love and
they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the
disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the
blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows
on whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures'
needs, All-Knower.
Sahih International
: O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his
religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will
love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers,
powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah
and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He
bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and
Knowing.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O you who believe, whoever of you apostatises (read either yartadid, with
separation [of the two dl letters], or yartadd, with assimilation [of one of the
dl letters with the other]), turns back, from his religion, to disbelief this is
a notification of what God knew would happen, for some of them apostatised
upon the death of the Prophet (s) God will assuredly bring, in their place, a
people whom He loves and who love Him: the Prophet (s) said, They are
people like him, and he pointed to Ab Ms al-Ashar, as reported by alHkim [al-Naysbr] in his Sahh; humble, sympathetic, towards believers,

stern, severe, towards disbelievers, struggling in the way of God, and fearing
not the reproach of any reproacher, therein, in the way that the hypocrites
fear the reproach of the disbelievers. That, description mentioned, is Gods
bounty; He gives it to whom He will; and God is Embracing, of abundant
bounty, Knowing, of those who deserve it.

Indonesian
: Hai orang-orang yang beriman, barangsiapa di antara kamu yang
murtad dari agamanya, maka kelak Allah akan mendatangkan suatu
kaum yang Allah mencintai mereka dan merekapun mencintai-Nya,

bersikap keras terhadap orang-orang kafir, yang berjihad dijalan

Tafsir Jalalayn

: The following was revealed when the Jews said to the Prophet (s), Whom
among the messengers do you believe in?, and he replied: in God and in that
which has been revealed to us [Q. 2:136], and when he mentioned Jesus they
said, We know of no religion worse than yours! Say: O People of the
Scripture, do you spite, [do] you repudiate, us for any other cause than that
we believe in God, and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed,
to the prophets, before, and that most of you are wicked? (wa-anna
aktharakum fsiqn is a supplement to an mann, that we believe), that is
to say, What you repudiate, in fact, is our faith and your opposition [to it], in
refusing to accept it [a refusal] which is described as wickedness, [this
wickedness] itself being the necessary consequence of such [a refusal] but
in fact this [faith of ours] is not something to be repudiated.

Indonesian
: Katakanlah: "Hai Ahli Kitab, apakah kamu memandang kami salah,

Muhsin Khan

inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense
from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His
Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and
swines, those who worshipped Taghut (false deities); such are worse
in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell-fire), and far more
astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)."
Sahih International
: Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty
from Allah ? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with
whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves
of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the
sound way."
Tafsir Jalalayn
: Say: Shall I tell you, [shall] I inform you, of what is worse than, the followers
of, that, about which you are spiteful, by way of reward, requital, from God?
They are, those whom God has cursed, [whom] He has removed from His
mercy, and with whom He is wroth, and some of whom He has turned into
apes and swine, by transformation, and, those who, worship the false deity,

Satan, by obeying him (the particle minhum, some of whom, takes into
account the [potentially plural] import of the particle min, [those] whom, and
in what precedes [minhum, some of whom], the [singular] form [of min is
taken into account]; a variant reading has abuda al-tght as [the genitive of]
an annexation, abud being a [variant] plural of abd; the accusative ending [of
abuda] is because the clause is a supplement to al-qirada, apes), and these
were the Jews. They are worse situated (maknan is for specification), for
their abode shall be the Fire, and further astray from the even way, from the
path of truth (al-saw originally means al-wasat, middle); the use of sharrun,
worse, and adallu, further astray, is intended to counter their saying, We
know of no religion worse [sharrun] than yours.

disisi Allah, yaitu orang-orang yang dikutuki dan dimurkai Allah, di

spend of His Bounty)." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed
for what they uttered. Nay, both His Hands are widely outstretched.
He spends (of His Bounty) as He wills. Verily, the Revelation that has
come to you from Allah increases in most of them their obstinate
rebellion and disbelief. We have put enmity and hatred amongst
them till the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of
war, Allah extinguished it; and they (ever) strive to make mischief on
earth. And Allah does not like the Mufsidun (mischief-makers).
Sahih International
: And the Jews say, "The hand of Allah is chained." Chained are their
hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands
are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been
revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in
transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them
animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they
kindled the fire of war [against you], Allah extinguished it. And they
strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allah does not
like corrupters.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: The Jews said, when their circumstances became straitened, on account of
their denial of the Prophet (s), after having been the wealthiest of people:
Gods hand is fettered, withholding the sending forth of provision upon us
this was their metaphor for niggardliness may God be exalted above this.
God, exalted be He, says: Fettered be, withheld be, their hands, from the

performance of good deeds, as an invocation against them; and they are

cursed for what they have said. Nay, but His hands are extended out wide a
hyperbole for the attribute of generosity the use of [yad] the dual for yad,
hand, is intended to imply abundance, since the utmost that an affluent
person can give freely of his wealth is when he gives it with both hands. He
expends how He will, in giving abundantly or straitening, and there can be no
objection to this. And what has been revealed to you from your Lord, of the
Qurn, will surely increase many of them in insolence and disbelief, because
of their [very] disbelief in it; and We have cast between them enmity and
hatred until the Day of Resurrection, and so every sect among them is
opposed to the other. Every time they light the fires of war, that is, for war
against the Prophet (s), God extinguishes them, that is, every time they desire
it [war], He repels them. And they hasten about the earth in corruption, that
is, [they hasten about] corrupting, through acts of disobedience, and God does
not love corrupters, meaning that He will punish them.

sebagaimana Dia kehendaki. Dan Al Quran yang diturunkan
kepadamu dari Tuhanmu sungguh-sungguh akan menambah
kedurhakaan dan kekafiran bagi kebanyakan di antara mereka. Dan
Kami telah timbulkan permusuhan dan kebencian di antara mereka

: Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa
(Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said:
"O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily,
whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has
forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for
the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers.
Sahih International
: They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the
son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel,
worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates
others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge
is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: They indeed are disbelievers those who say, Indeed God is the Messiah, son
of Mary (a similar verse has preceded [Q. 5:17]). For the Messiah said, to
them, O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord, for, I am a
servant and not a god. Verily he who associates anything with God, in
worship, for him God has made Paradise forbidden, He has forbidden him
admittance to it, and his abode shall be the Fire; and for wrongdoers (wa-m
lil-zlimna min, the min is extra) there shall be no helpers, to guard them
against the chastisement of God.

"Sesungguhnya Allah ialah Al Masih putera Maryam", padahal Al
Masih (sendiri) berkata: "Hai Bani Israil, sembahlah Allah Tuhanku

(sesuatu dengan) Allah, maka pasti Allah mengharamkan kepadanya
surga, dan tempatnya ialah neraka, tidaklah ada bagi orang-orang
zalim itu seorang penolongpun.

Muhsin Khan
: Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the
three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the
right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease
not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the
disbelievers among them.
Sahih International
: They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of
three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist
from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers
among them a painful punishment.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: They are indeed disbelievers those who say, God is the third of three, gods,
that is, He is one of them, the other two being Jesus and his mother, and they
[who claim this] are a Christian sect; when there is no god but the One God. If
they do not desist from what they say, when they declare a trinity, and profess
His Oneness, those of them who disbelieve, that is, [those] who are fixed upon
unbelief, shall suffer a painful chastisement, namely, the Fire.

Indonesian
: Sesungguhnya kafirlah orang0orang yang mengatakan:
"Bahwasanya Allah salah seorang dari yang tiga", padahal sekali-kali

Muhsin Khan
: The Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more
than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away
before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she
believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)].
They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah
does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how
they are deluded away (from the truth).
Sahih International
: The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other]
messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a
supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make
clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a messenger; messengers passed away
before him, and so he passed away like them, for he is not a god as they
claim, otherwise he would not have passed away; his mother was a truthful
woman, [siddqa means] extremely truthful; they both used to eat food, like all
other human beings, and one who is such cannot be a god because of his
compound being and fallible nature, and because of the [impurities such as]
urine and excrement that he produces. Behold, in amazement, how We make
the signs, of Our Oneness, clear to them, then behold, how they are turned
away!, [how] they are turned away from the truth despite the proof being
established.

Indonesian
: Al Masih putera Maryam itu hanyalah seorang Rasul yang
sesungguhnya telah berlalu sebelumnya beberapa rasul, dan ibunya
seorang yang sangat benar, kedua-duanya biasa memakan makanan.

mereka berpaling (dari memperhatikan ayat-ayat Kami itu).

Sahih International
: Say, "Do you worship besides Allah that which holds for you no
[power of] harm or benefit while it is Allah who is the Hearing, the
Knowing?"
Tafsir Jalalayn

of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many,
and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path."
Sahih International

religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a

people who had gone astray before and misled many and have
strayed from the soundness of the way."
Tafsir Jalalayn
: Say: O People of the Scripture, Jews and Christians, do not go to extremes,
do [not] overstep the bounds, in your religion, other than those, extremes, of
truth, neither lowering nor elevating Jesus above his proper place, and do not
follow the whims of a people who went astray formerly, on account of their
extremism these were their forefathers and have led many, [other]
people, astray, and strayed from the even way, from the path of truth (alsaw originally means middle).

Muhsin Khan
: Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed
by the tongue of Dawud (David) and 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam
(Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the
Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds.
Sahih International
: Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel
by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was
because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.
Tafsir Jalalayn

David, when he invoked God against them and they were transformed into
apes these were the people of Eilat and by Jesus, son of Mary, when he
invoked God against them and they were transformed into pigs they were
the ones [who ate] at the Table [cf. Q. 5:115, below] that, cursing, was
because of their disobedience and their transgression.

Sahih International
: You see many of them becoming allies of those who disbelieved.
How wretched is that which they have put forth for themselves in
that Allah has become angry with them, and in the punishment they
will abide eternally.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: You, O Muhammad (s), see many of them affiliating with those who
disbelieve, from among the Meccans, out of spite for you. Evil is that, in the
way of deeds, which their souls have offered on their behalf, for [the day of]

their inevitable return, such that God is wroth with them and in the
chastisement they shall abide.

Muhsin Khan
: Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the
believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun (see
V.2:105), and you will find the nearest in love to the believers
(Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because
amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.
Sahih International
: You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity
toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others
with Allah ; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the
believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among
them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: You, O Muhammad (s), will truly find the most hostile of people to those who
believe to be the Jews and the idolaters, of Mecca, because of the intensity of
their disbelief, ignorance and utter preoccupation with following whims; and
you will truly find the nearest of them in love to those who believe to be those
who say Verily, we are Christians; that, nearness of theirs in love to the
believers is, because some of them are priests, scholars, and monks, devout
worshippers, and because they are not disdainful, of following the truth, as
the Jews and the Meccans are.

Indonesian
: Sesungguhnya kamu dapati orang-orang yang paling keras
permusuhannya terhadap orang-orang yang beriman ialah orangorang Yahudi dan orang-orang musyrik. Dan sesungguhnya kamu
dapati yang paling dekat persahabatannya dengan orang-orang yang
beriman ialah orang-orang yang berkata: "Sesungguhnya kami ini
orang Nasrani". Yang demikian itu disebabkan karena di antara
mereka itu (orang-orang Nasrani) terdapat pendeta-pendeta dan
rahib-rahib, (juga) karena sesungguhnya mereka tidak

Muhsin Khan
: Allah will not punish you for what is uninentional in your oaths, but
He will punish you for your deliberate oaths; for its expiation (a
deliberate oath) feed ten Masakin (poor persons), on a scale of the
average of that with which you feed your own families; or clothe
them; or manumit a slave. But whosoever cannot afford (that), then
he should fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths
when you have sworn. And protect your oaths (i.e. do not swear
much). Thus Allah make clear to you His Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that you may be grateful.
Sahih International
: Allah will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in
your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what
you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy
people from the average of that which you feed your [own] families
or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find
[or afford it] - then a fast of three days [is required]. That is the
expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths.
Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be
grateful.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: God will not take you to task for a slip, contained, in your oaths, which is
what the tongue utters spontaneously, without intending to swear an oath,

such as when one says, No, by God, or Yes, by God; but He will take you to
task for that to which you have pledged (read aqadtum, aqqadttum or
qadttum) oaths, where you have sworn an oath intentionally; the expiation
thereof, of the oath if you break it, is the feeding of ten of the needy, for each
needy person one mudd measure, of the midmost food, from which, you feed
your families, that is, the closest or the principal [food you consume], neither
better, nor worse; or the clothing of them, with what may be [properly] called
clothes, such as a shirt, a turban, or a loin cloth it is not sufficient that
these [items] mentioned be given only to one needy person, according to alShfi; or the setting free of a, believing, slave, as applies in the expiation for
slaying or repudiation through zihr, interpreting the general [stipulation] in a
restricted sense; and whoever does not find the means, for any one of the
[expiations] mentioned, then the fasting of three days, as an expiation for him
as it appears [in this verse], it is not obligatory to follow the [above]
sequence [of alternatives when making an expiation], and this is the opinion
of al-Shfi. That, which is mentioned, is the expiation of your oaths if you
have sworn, and have broken them; but keep your oaths, do not break them,
unless it be for a righteous deed or setting right between people, as stated in
the verse of srat al-Baqara [Q. 2:225]. So, in the same way that He has
explained to you what has been mentioned, God makes clear to you His signs,
so that you might be thankful, to Him for this.

Indonesian
: Allah tidak menghukum kamu disebabkan sumpah-sumpahmu yang
tidak dimaksud (untuk bersumpah), tetapi Dia menghukum kamu
disebabkan sumpah-sumpah yang kamu sengaja, maka kaffarat
(melanggar) sumpah itu, ialah memberi makan sepuluh orang
miskin, yaitu dari makanan yang biasa kamu berikan kepada
keluargamu, atau memberi pakaian kepada mereka atau
memerdekakan seorang budak. Barang siapa tidak sanggup
melakukan yang demikian, maka kaffaratnya puasa selama tiga hari.
Yang demikian itu adalah kaffarat sumpah-sumpahmu bila kamu

Sahih International
: O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the
state of ihram. And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty
is an equivalent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged
by two just men among you as an offering [to Allah ] delivered to the
Ka'bah, or an expiation: the feeding of needy people or the
equivalent of that in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of
his deed. Allah has pardoned what is past; but whoever returns [to

violation], then Allah will take retribution from him. And Allah is
Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: O you who believe, do not slay game while you are in the state of pilgrimage
inviolability, for the hajj or the umra; whoever of you slays it wilfully, then the
compensation shall be (read fa-jazun, then the compensation [shall be],
followed by a nominative [mithlu, the like of]) that is to say, a compensation
is incumbent on him, and that is, the equivalent of what he has slain, of flocks,
in other words, a similar creature (a variant reading has an annexation
construction for jaz, compensation, [sc. fa-jazu mithli, then the
compensation of]), to be judged, that is, the equivalent [is to be judged], by
two just men among you, both possessing astuteness, with which they are
able to identify the nearest [animal] in equivalence to it [the slain animal]. Ibn
Abbs, Umar and Al, may God be pleased with them, all adjudged a beast of
sacrifice [as redemption] for an ostrich [slain]; Ibn Abbs and Ab Ubayda
adjudged a cow [as redemption] for wildebeest or wild ass; [Abd Allh] Ibn
Umar and [Abd al-Rahmn] Ibn Awf, a sheep for a gazelle, and, as Ibn
Abbs, Umar and others did, [a sheep] also [as a redemption] for [slaying]
pigeons, because they [pigeons] resemble these [sheep] in taking scoops of
water [when drinking]; an offering (hadyan is a circumstantial qualifier
referring to jaz, compensation) to reach the Kaba, that is, to be taken into
the Sanctuary, sacrificed there and given as a voluntary offering to its needy
[residents], and it cannot be sacrificed wherever [else] it may be (bligha lkaba, to reach the Kaba, is in the accusative because it is an adjectival
qualification of what precedes, even if it stands as an annexation, since such
an annexation is only morphological and not [valid] as a [grammatical]
characterisation); if there is no equivalent beast of flock for the game slain, as
in the case of a small bird or locusts, then the person is obliged [to
compensate] with [equivalent] value. Or, it is incumbent on him [to make], an
expiation: other than compensation, and if he should find the means then this
[expiation] is, food for the poor, [food] to be taken from the principal food of
the town, equivalent to the value of the compensation, being one mudd
measure for each poor person (a variant reading has kaffra, expiation, in an

(the pursuit of) land-game as long as you are in a state of Ihram (for
Hajj or 'Umrah). And fear Allah to Whom you shall be gathered back.
Sahih International

Tafsir Jalalayn
: Permitted to you, O people, be you in pilgrimage inviolability or not, is the
game of the sea, for consumption, and it is what can only live in the sea, such
as fish, but not what is able to live both in the sea and on land, such as crabs;
and food from it, what it casts out that is dead, is a provision for you, for you
to consume, and for the wayfarers, the travellers among you, to take as their
provisions; but forbidden to you is the hunting of game on the land, and this
consists of those edible beasts that live on it; do not hunt them, so long as you
remain in pilgrimage inviolability: if it is caught by one not in pilgrimage
inviolability, then it is permissible for a person in pilgrimage inviolability to
consume it, as is clarified in the Sunna; and fear God, to whom you shall be

: Allah has made the Ka'bah, the Sacred House, an asylum of
security and Hajj and 'Umrah (pilgrimage) for mankind, and also the
Sacred Month and the animals of offerings and the garlanded
(people or animals, etc. marked with the garlands on their necks
made from the outer part of the stem of the Makkah trees for their
security), that you may know that Allah has knowledge of all that is
in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and that Allah is the AllKnower of each and everything.
Sahih International
: Allah has made the Ka'bah, the Sacred House, standing for the
people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial
animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. That is so
you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is
in the earth and that Allah is Knowing of all things.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: God has appointed the Kaba, the Sacred, inviolable, House as an [enduring]
institution for mankind, [an institution] by which their religious affair is
sustained, through pilgrimage to it, as is their this-worldly [affair], on account
of the security [guaranteed] for those who enter it and the fact that they are
not interfered with, and because all manner of fruits are brought to it (a
variant reading [for qiyman] has qiyaman, [always] standing, as the verbal
noun from [1st form] qma, to remain standing, without defectiveness [of the
middle radical]); and the sacred month, meaning the sacred months of DhlQada, Dhl-Hijja, Muharram and Rajab, instituted for them to be secure
from fighting during them; the offering and the garlands, instituted for their
owner so that he does not suffer any interference; that, mentioned
appointment, is so that you may know that God knows all that is in the
heavens and in the earth, and that God has knowledge of all things: thus that
appointing of His in order to secure benefits for you and to ward off harm
from you, before such things came to pass, testifies to His knowledge of all
that is in existence and all that will be.

you, [if] revealed, would trouble you, because of the hardship that would
ensue from them; yet if you ask about them while the Qurn is being
revealed, during the time of the Prophet (s), they will be disclosed to you:
meaning that if you ask about certain things during his lifetime, the Qurn

not ask about them; indeed: God has pardoned those things, you asked about,

milk was spared for the idols and nobody was allowed to milk it) or a
Sa'ibah (a she-camel let loose for free pasture for their false gods,
e.g. idols, etc., and nothing was allowed to be carried on it), or a
Wasilah (a she-camel set free for idols because it has given birth to a
she-camel at its first delivery and then again gives birth to a shecamel at its second delivery) or a Ham (a stallion-camel freed from
work for their idols, after it had finished a number of copulations
assigned for it, all these animals were liberated in honour of idols as
practised by pagan Arabs in the pre-Islamic period). But those who
disbelieve invent lies against Allah, and most of them have no
understanding.
Sahih International
: Allah has not appointed [such innovations as] bahirah or sa'ibah or
wasilah or ham. But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about
Allah , and most of them do not reason.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: God has not ordained, He has not stipulated [in His Law], anything such as a
Bahra, a Siba, a Wasla or a Hm, in the way that people did at the time of
paganism. Al-Bukhr reported [in a hadth] from Sad b. al-Musayyab, who
said: The bahra is that [camel] whose milk is consecrated to idols and whom
no human may milk; the siba is the one they would leave to roam freely for
their gods and was forbidden to bear any load; the wasla is the young shecamel that would give birth to a young female, as its first offspring, followed
by another female, bearing one after the other without a male in between: she
would then be left to roam freely for their idols; the hm is the mature male
camel, which after completing a certain number of copulations with a female,
would then be consigned to their idols and be exempt from bearing any load,
and they would call it hm; but the disbelievers invent lies against God, in
this matter, by attributing [the sanctioning of] such [practices] to Him; and
most of them do not understand, that this is mendacity, for in this they have
[merely] followed the example of their forefathers.

and then if you see niggardliness being obeyed, whims being followed, this
present world being preferred, and every intelligent person proud of his own
opinions, then you are [still] responsible for [looking after] your own soul, as
reported by al-Hkim and others. Unto God you shall return, all together, and

make a bequest, then take the testimony of two just men of your
own folk or two others from outside, if you are travelling through

after As-Salat (the prayer), (then) if you are in doubt (about their
truthfulness), let them both swear by Allah (saying): "We wish not
for any worldly gain in this, even though he (the beneficiary) be our
near relative. We shall not hide Testimony of Allah, for then indeed
we should be of the sinful."
Sahih International

when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of]
two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are
traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike
you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allah
if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange our
oath for a price, even if he should be a near relative, and we will not
withhold the testimony of Allah . Indeed, we would then be of the
sinful."
Tafsir Jalalayn

its causes, draws near to one of you, at the time of a bequest, be that of two
men of justice among you (ithnni dhaw adlin minkum, two men of justice
among you, is the predicate expressed with the sense of an imperative, in
other words, let [two men] bear witness [etc.]; the genitive annexation of
shahda, testimony, and bayn, between, is meant to allow for a range [of

others from another folk, that is, [from] other than your own religious
community, if you are travelling in the land and the affliction of death befalls
you. Then you shall empanel them, you shall detain them (tahbisnahum,
you shall empanel them, is an adjectival qualification of kharn, two
others) after the, mid-afternoon, prayer and, if you are in doubt, [if] you are
uncertain about it [their testimony], they shall swear by God, both of them
saying: We will not sell it, [our testimony] in [swearing by] God, for any price,
[for] any compensation that we might take in exchange for it from this world,
neither by swearing by Him [falsely], nor by testifying falsely for the sake of
that [price]; even if he, the person before whom it is being sworn or the one
for whose sake testimony is being given, be a near kinsman, a close relative of
ours, nor will we hide testimony to God, which He has commanded us [to
give], for then, if we were to hide it, we would surely be among the sinful.

others stand forth in their places, nearest in kin from among those

we have not trespassed (the truth), for then indeed we should be of
the wrong-doers."
Sahih International

transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers."
Tafsir Jalalayn
: But if it be discovered, [if] it be ascertained after they have sworn their
oaths, that both of them have merited [the suspicion of] sin, that is, that they
have done something to incur it, in the way of a breach of faith or perjury in
the testimony; for example, if what they are accused of is found with them
and then they claim that they had bought it from the deceased or that he had
bequeathed it to them, then two others shall take their place, so that the
oaths are to be taken from them, being the nearest (al-awlayn is a
substitution for kharn, two others; a variant reading has al-awwaln, plural
of awwal, as an adjectival qualification of, or a substitution for, alladhna, of
those), in kinship to the deceased, of those most concerned, with the bequest,
namely, the inheritors, and they shall swear by God, to the breach of faith of
the two witnesses, and they shall both say, Verily, our testimony, our oath, is
truer, is more faithful, than their testimony, their oath, and we have not
transgressed, we have [not] overstepped the [bounds of] truth in our oaths,
for then we would assuredly be among the evildoers: meaning, let the one
about to die call two men as witnesses to his bequest, or let him instruct in his
bequest that the two be from among his co-religionists or from among others,
if he cannot find any [from among the former] because he is travelling or for

some similar reason. If the inheritors have doubts about the two men and
claim a breach of faith on the part of the two for having taken something or
given it to some other person alleging that the deceased bequeathed it to
him then let the two men swear in full [in the way mentioned above]. If
then some indication surfaces that the two men have been lying and these two
then claim some motivation for this action [of theirs], the nearest of the
inheritors in kinship [to the deceased] shall swear to the perjury of the two
men and to the truth of what they [the inheritors] suspected. This stipulation
holds for the two trustees, but is abrogated in the case of the two witnesses.
Likewise, the testimony of non co-religionists is abrogated.

: That should make it closer (to the fact) that their testimony would
be in its true nature and shape (and thus accepted), or else they
would fear that (other) oaths would be admitted after their oaths.
And fear Allah and listen ( with obedience to Him). And Allah guides
not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious and disobedient).
Sahih International

[true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths
might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allah and listen; and Allah
does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: That, ruling mentioned, where the oath devolves to the inheritors, [makes it]
likelier, brings closer [the eventuality], that they, the witnesses or the
trustees, will bear the testimony in its true form, [the form] in which they
have been charged to bear it, without distortion or breach of faith, or, it is
likelier, that they will be afraid that after their oaths other oaths may be
taken, from the inheritors, the plaintiffs, who would swear to the two mens
breach of faith or perjury, in which case they would be disgraced and would

incur penalties, and so [because of this] they will not lie. Fear God, by
refraining from betrayal and perjury, and listen, to what you have been
commanded, listening in acceptance. God does not guide the wicked people,
those rebelling against obedience to Him; [He does not guide the wicked] to
the way of goodness.

the Hour, since he was raised up [to God] before middle age, as has already
been mentioned in [srat] l Imrn [Q. 3:55], and when I taught you the
Scripture, and wisdom, and the Torah, and the Gospel; and how you create
out of clay the likeness (ka-hayat: the kf here functions like a noun and is a
direct object), the image, of a bird by My permission, and you breathe into it
and it becomes a bird by My permission, by My will, and you heal the blind
and the leper by My permission, and you raise the dead, from their graves
back to life, by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel
from you, when they intended to kill you, when you brought them clear
proofs, miracles, and the disbelievers among them said, This, what you have
done, is nothing but manifest sorcery (a variant reading [for sihrun,
sorcery] has shirun, sorcerer, in other words, [he] Jesus [is nothing but a
manifest sorcerer]).

: (Ingatlah), ketika Allah mengatakan: "Hai Isa putra Maryam,
ingatlah nikmat-Ku kepadamu dan kepada ibumu di waktu Aku
menguatkan kamu dengan ruhul qudus. Kamu dapat berbicara
dengan manusia di waktu masih dalam buaian dan sesudah dewasa;
dan (ingatlah) di waktu Aku mengajar kamu menulis, hikmah, Taurat
dan Injil, dan (ingatlah pula) diwaktu kamu membentuk dari tanah
(suatu bentuk) yang berupa burung dengan ijin-Ku, kemudian kamu
meniup kepadanya, lalu bentuk itu menjadi burung (yang
sebenarnya) dengan seizin-Ku. Dan (ingatlah) di waktu kamu
menyembuhkan orang yang buta sejak dalam kandungan ibu dan
orang yang berpenyakit sopak dengan seizin-Ku, dan (ingatlah) di
waktu kamu mengeluarkan orang mati dari kubur (menjadi hidup)
dengan seizin-Ku, dan (ingatlah) di waktu Aku menghalangi Bani
Israil (dari keinginan mereka membunuh kamu) di kala kamu
mengemukakan kepada mereka keterangan-keterangan yang nyata,
lalu orang-orang kafir diantara mereka berkata: "Ini tidak lain
melainkan sihir yang nyata".

Muhsin Khan

after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I
have not inflicted on anyone among (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and
jinns)."
Sahih International
: Allah said, "Indeed, I will sent it down to you, but whoever
disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish
him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among
the worlds."
Tafsir Jalalayn

munziluh or munazziluh) to you; but whoever of you disbelieves afterward,
after it has been sent down, I shall surely chastise him with a chastisement
wherewith I chastise no other being from among all the worlds: and so the
angels descended with it from heaven, on it were seven loaves and seven

large fish, and so they ate of it until they were full, as related by Ibn Abbs. In
one hadth it is said that the Table sent down from heaven consisted of bread
and meat, and they were commanded not to be treacherous and nor to store
anything for the next day: but they were and they stored some of it, and were
[consequently] transformed into apes and swine.

itu kepadamu, barangsiapa yang kafir di antaramu sesudah (turun

Muhsin Khan
: And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection):
"O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men:
'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' " He will
say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to
say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You
know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours,
truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and
unseen.
Sahih International
: And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary,
did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities
besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to
say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have
known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is
within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: And, mention, when God says, that is, when God will say, to Jesus at the
Resurrection in rebuke of his followers: O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to
mankind, Take me and my mother as gods, besides God? He, Jesus, says,
shuddering: Glory be to You!, exalted be You above all that does not befit You,
such as [having] a partner and so on. It is not mine, it is unjustified [for me],
to say what I have no right to (bi-haqq, right to, is the predicate of laysa,
not; l, mine, is explicative). If I indeed had said it, You would have known

it. You know what is, hidden by me, in my self, but I do not know what is
within Your Self, that is, what You keep hidden of Your knowledge: You are the
Knower of things unseen.

Indonesian

adakah kamu mengatakan kepada manusia: "Jadikanlah aku dan
ibuku dua orang tuhan selain Allah?". Isa menjawab: "Maha Suci
Engkau, tidaklah patut bagiku mengatakan apa yang bukan hakku
(mengatakannya). Jika aku pernah mengatakan maka tentulah
Engkau mengetahui apa yang ada pada diriku dan aku tidak
mengetahui apa yang ada pada diri Engkau. Sesungguhnya Engkau
Maha Mengetahui perkara yang ghaib-ghaib".

command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I
was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You
took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness
to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the
Christians of the whole world).
Sahih International
: I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship
Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as
long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the
Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
Tafsir Jalalayn

Worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness, a watcher, over
them, preventing them from [saying] what they used to say, whilst I was
amongst them; but when You took me [to You], [when] You raised me up to the

Sahih International
: Allah will say, "This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from
their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath
which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being
pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment.
Tafsir Jalalayn
: God says, This, namely, the Day of Resurrection, is the day those who were
truthful, in the world, like Jesus, shall profit by their truthfulness, because this

is the Day of Requital. Theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow,
wherein they shall abide forever. God is well-pleased with them, because of
their obedience to Him, and they are well-pleased with Him, with His reward
that is the great triumph. The sincerity of those who were liars in this
world shall not avail them on that Day, just as [it shall not avail] the
disbelievers when they believe upon seeing the chastisement.

Indonesian
: Allah berfirman: "Ini adalah suatu hari yang bermanfaat bagi
orang-orang yang benar kebenaran mereka. Bagi mereka surga
yang dibawahnya mengalir sungai-sungai; mereka kekal di

Tafsir Jalalayn

storehouses of rain, vegetation, sustenance and everything else, and all that is
in them (wa-m fhinna: the use of m, that, indicates the predominance of
all those non-rational creations); and He has power over all things, including
the rewarding of the truthful and the punishing of the liar He is specifically
addressing rational beings, for there is none among them with power over all
things.
