THE BLESSING
(AL BASMALAH) :‫ﻗﻞ‬
1. Say, "In the Name of the ‫( ﺑﺴــﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤـﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ‬١
Father, the Word, the Holy
Spirit, the One and only True
.‫ﺍﻹﻟــﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣـﺪﺍﻷﻭﺣـﺪ‬
God. "

‫( ﻣﺜﻠــﺚ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺣﻴــﺪ ﻣﻮﺣــﺪ‬٢


2. He is Triune in Unity,
united in Trinity, indivisible as . ‫ﺍﻟﺘﺜﻠﻴﺚ ﻣـﺎ ﺗﻌﺪﺩ‬
deity .

3. He is the Father, Who has


never given birth like the race of .‫( ﻓﻬﻮ ﺁﺏ ﱂ ﻳﻠﺪ‬٣
humanity.

4. He is the Word, Who has


never been born except .‫( ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﱂ ﻳﻮﻟـﺪ‬٤
through virginity.

5. He is the Spirit, Who has


never been separated from the . ‫( ﺭﻭﺡ ﱂ ﻳﻔﺮﺩ‬٥
Trinity.

6. He is the Creator, Who has


never been created by any . ‫( ﺧﻼﻕ ﱂ ﳜﻠﻖ‬٦
entity.

7. Therefore, ceaseless
praise is offered to His regal ‫( ﻓﺴﺒﺤﺎﻥ ﻣﺎﻟﻚ ﺍﳌﻠﻚ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﻮﺓ‬٧
sovereignty. Absolute power ‫ ﻣـﻦ ﺍﻷﺯﻝ ﺍﱃ ﺃﺑـﺪ‬، ‫ﻭﺍﺠﻤﻟـﺪ‬
and royal majesty is extended
unto Him, from eternity to .‫ﺍﻷﺑـﺪ‬
infinity. Amen.

THE OPENING (AI Fateba) ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻔﺎﲢﺔ‬١
In the Name of the Fatber, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. Behold, this is the


authentic True Furqan which ‫( ﻫﻮﺫﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻧﻮﺣﻴﻪ ﻓﺒﻠﻐﻪ ﻟﻠﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
We inspire, declare it to ‫ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﻭﻻ ﲣﺶ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ‬
whom-ever has gone astray
from among Our people and do .‫ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
not fear anyone who may
retaliate against this
proclamation.

2. It is a victorious True
Furqan, which shall bring to ‫( ﻣﻬﻴﻤﻦ ﳛﻄﻢ ﺳﻴﻒ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﺑﻜﻒ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﻝ‬٢
naught the sword of injustice . ‫ﻭﻳﻬﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻈﺎﳌﲔ‬
with the palm of justice, blazing
a straight path for those who
repent from having gone astray

3. Moreover, The True


Furqan will completely demolish ‫( ﻭﻳﻬﺪﻡ ﺻﺮﺡ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺑﻴﺪ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ‬٣
the weak structure of
. ‫ﻼ ﻟﻠﺘﺎﺋﺒﲔ‬
‫ﻭﻳﺸﻴﺪ ﻣﻮﺋ ﹰ‬
unfaithful-ness with the
righteous hand of truth-fulness,
erecting in its place a mighty
fortress for all who repent and
seek a place of abode.

4. Additionally, this True


Furqan will remove from the ‫( ﻭﻳﱰﻉ ﻏﻞ ﺍﻟﺼﺪﺭ ﺑﺸﺬﻯ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬٤
heart the bitter taste of
animosity and through
. ‫ﻭﻳﺸﻔﻰ ﻧﻔﻮﺱ ﺍﳊﺎﻗﺪﻳﻦ‬
refreshing love provide a new
start, thus, purifying from the
soul every trace of enmity.

5. Furthermore, this True ‫( ﻭﻳﻄﻬﺮ ﳒﺲ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﲟﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻌﻔﺔ ﻭﻳﱪﻯﺀ‬٥


Furqan will wash away the
impurity of adultery with the . ‫ﺍﳌﺴﺎﻓﺤﲔ‬
water of purity, cleansing every
sinner from iniquity.

6. Once and for all, this True ‫( ﻭﻳﻔﻀﺢ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ ﺑﺼﻮﺕ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٦
Furqan will unmask the real
face of falsehood with the
. ‫ﻭﻳﻜﺸﻒ ﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬
penetrating sound of Truth,
exposing the treachery of all
the imposters.

7. Thus, O, people who have ‫( ﻓﻴﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺗﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ‬٧
gone astray: repent and believe
in Us. The gates of Heaven are . ‫ﻓﺄﺑﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﻣﻔﺘﻮﺣﺔ ﻟﻠﺘﺎﺋﺒﲔ‬
flung open to welcome
everyone who will repent from
his sins and turn to Us in
sincerity.
2 LOVE ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬٢
(Surat AI Mahabbah)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1.O, you who have enmity : ‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١


within you, yet still claim to be
counted among Our ‫ ﻓﻠﻮ ﻧﻄﻘﺘﻢ‬.‫ ﻏﻦ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬:‫ﺇﲰﻌﻮﺍ ﻭﻋﻮﺍ‬
worshipers: listen and
understand, love is Our top ‫ﺑﺄﻟﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ ﻭﺑﻠﻐﺔ ﺍﻟﺒﻼﻏﺔ ﻭﺍﻹﻋﺠﺎﺯ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
priority. Therefore, if you can ‫ﺗﻜﻠﻤﺘﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻓﻜﻼﻣﻜﻢ ﻟﻐﻮ‬
speak the languages of the
world and the literary . ‫ﻭﺧﲑ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻟﻮ ﺑﻘﻴﺘﻢ ﺻﺎﻣﺘﲔ‬
articulation with brilliance but do
not consider love, your speech
is for naught. It would have
been pref-erable that you kept
silent.

2. If you were prophets, ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺃﻧﺒﻴﺎﺀ ﻭﺃﻭﺗﻴﺘﻢ ﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ‬٢


endowed with wisdom, peering
through the supernatural and ‫ﻭﺍﻃﻠﻌﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻐﻴﺐ ﻭﺃﺗﻴﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﳌﻌﺠﺰﺍﺕ‬
performing miracles, yet without
love, you will still lack integrity; ‫ﺩﻭﻥ ﳏﺒﺔ ﻓﻼ ﺣﻮﻝ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻣﻨﺔ ﻭﺇﳕﺎ‬
neither is any goodness . ‫ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻣﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
residing in you. F or in reality
you are hypocrites.

3. Even when you distribute ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﺑﺪﺩﰎ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﻟﻜﻢ ﺇﺣﺴﺎﻧﹰﺎ‬٣


your wealth on good deeds and
sacrifice your very lives in ‫ﻭﺑﺬﻟﺘﻢ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ ﻣﻌﺮﻭﻓﹰﺎ ﺑﺪﻭﻥ ﳏﺒﺔ‬
service to others, yet without ‫ﻓﻜﺄﻧﻜـــﻢ ﻣـﺎ ﺃﻋﻄﻴﺘـــﻢ‬
love, it would be as if you have
neither contributed anything nor .‫ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﳏﺴﻨﲔ‬
made yourself a sacrifice in
service to others.

4. Love is patient with Our ‫(ﻓﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﺻﻮﺭﺓ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺭﻓﻴﻘﺔ‬٤


people, tender toward the
impoverished .‫ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﺋﺴﲔ‬

5. It does not embrace ‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻌﺮﻑ ﺍﳊﺴﺪ ﻭﻻ ﺍﻟﻜﱪﻳﺎﺀ‬٥


jealousy, demonstrate pride or
practice aggression. . ‫ﻭﺍﺠﻤﻟﻮﻥ‬

6. Love treats everyone


kind-ly. It does not get upset
quickly or seek its personal ‫( ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﺗﻌﺎﻣﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺎﳊﺴﲎ ﻓﻼ ﲢﺘﺪ‬٦
desires frequently. Love is ‫ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﻌﻰ ﻟﺮﻏﺒﺔ ﻓﻬﻰ ﻗﻨﻮﻋﺔ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﻰﺀ‬
contented and does not
contemplate vengeful thoughts .‫ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﺑﺎﻵﺧﺮﻳﻦ‬
concerning others.

7. Love does not revel over


oppression but over freedom ‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻔﺮﺡ ﺑﺎﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﺑﻞ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻭﺗﺼﺪﻕ‬٧
and justice. It accepts whatever
one's friend says as fact, but . ‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ ﻭﺗﻌﺮﺽ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ‬
turns away from the hypocrites.

8. Love is longsuffering and


eternal across the eons of time. .‫(ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﺻﺒﻮﺭﺓ ﻭﺧﺎﻟﺪﺓ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﺴﻨﲔ‬٨
9. Even when prophecies ‫( ﻓﺈﻣﺎ ﺑﻄﻠﺖ ﺍﻟﻨﺒﺆﺍﺕ ﻭﺧﺮﺳﺖ ﺍﻷﻟﺴﻦ‬٩
shall cease, voices shall . ‫ﻭﺧﻔﺖ ﺍﻷﺻﻮﺍﺕ ﻓﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﻗﺎﺋﻤﺔ ﻻ ﻬﺗﻮﻥ‬
become feeble and tongues
shall become silent, love will
still glow triumphantly.

‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻬﻧﻢ‬١٠


10. If the true believers from
among Our worshipers declare ،‫ﺃﺑﻨﺎﺅﻧﺎ ﻭﺃﺣﺒﺎﺅﻧﺎ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻇﻠﻤﻮﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ‬
that they are Our spiritual
offspring and chosen ones, ‫ﻓﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺃﻭﻻﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﳓﺐ ﺃﻭﻻﺩﻧﺎ‬
they are neither hypocrites nor .‫ﺍﶈﻴﲔ‬
have they misled themselves.
For Our worshipers are truly
Our progeny and We cherish
Our godly children.

LIGHT (Surat AI Noor)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ‬٣
In the Name of the Father, the
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

‫( ﻫﻮﺫﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﺍﻷﻗﺪﺱ ﻗﺪ ﻗﺪ ﺃﺷﺮﻕ ﻓﺠﺎﺀ‬١


1. Behold, the Divine Light
has come. Truth is now . ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺯﻫﻖ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻓﻠﻴﻬﺘﺪ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺋﻬﻮﻥ‬
revealed. It is driving away
deceit and brightly shining the
rightly-guided pathway to guide
all who have been led astray.

2. The hour of judgment is


fast approaching. Surely deceit ‫( ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﺑﺖ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﻋﺔ ﻭﺃﻧﺸﻖ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻓﻼ ﻋﺎﺻﻢ‬٢
will be retracting. None can
ever escape Our Judgment Day
because all the hypocrites will . ‫ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻓﻮﻳﻞ ﻟﻠﻤﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬
be in utter disarray.

3. The rising sun shines ،‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺒﻠﺞ ﺍﻟﺼﺒﺢ ﻓﻠﻴﺒﺼﺮ ﺍﻟﻌﻤﻰ‬٣


brightly across the entire
human passageway. Those .‫ﻭﺣﺼﺤﺺ ﺍﳊﻒ ﻓﻠﻴﺆﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
who lived in darkness shall see
Truth as a shaft of sunlight's
ray. Even hardened unbelievers
will then understand and
believe in what We reveal and
say.

4. As for those who obscure


the Light by covering their eyes, ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻃﻤﺴﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻋﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ‬٤
so that they may not discern the ‫ﻟﺌﻼ ﻳﺒﺼﺮﻭﺍ ﻧﻮﺭ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻣﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ‬
Light of Truth from lies, they
only demonstrate their . ‫ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻮﻥ‬
enonnous hypo-crisy before
Him who created the skies.

5. As for those who are ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺟﻌﻠﻮﺍ ﺃﺻﺎﺑﻌﻜﻢ ﰱ ﺁﺫﺍﻬﻧﻢ‬٥


plugging their ears with their
fingers with such might, they ‫ﻟﺌﻼ ﻳﺴﻤﻌﻮﺍ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺍﳌﻐﻀﻮﺏ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ‬
have absolutely condemned . ‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﻮﻥ‬
themselves out of sight and are
undoubtedly lost from the Purity
of the Light, Jesus of Nazareth.

6. As for those of Our people


who have gone astray, The ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ ﺟﺎﺋﻜﻢ‬، ‫( ﻓﻴﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٦
True Furqan is now disclosed to
explain Our Way concerning ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻳﺒﲔ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺮﺷﺪ‬
the difference in True Wisdom,
stubble and hay. ''No
compulsion in religion," We say. ‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﻰ ﻓﻼ ﺇﻛﺮﺍﻩ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺃﻓﻼ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ؟‬
Therefore, why don't you trust
Us and obey?

7. We have beamed Truth as


Light into the heart of the one ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟـﻨﺎﻩ ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠـﺐ ﺻﻔـﻴﻨﺎ‬٧
We have singled out. This man
has ' put this proclamation in ‫ﻓﺨﻄﻪ ﻛﻠﻤـﺎ ﺑﺄﻋـﻴﻨﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻟﻘﺎﻩ ﰱ ﺃﲰﺎﻋـﻜﻢ‬
writing while We were carefully
observ-ing. He recited Truth in ‫ﻭﺃﺑﺼﺎﺭﻛـﻢ ﻭﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜـﻢ ﻭﺑﲔ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜـﻢ‬
your hearing, before your ‫ﻟﻴﻄﻬﺮﻛـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﻭﳜﺮﺟﻜـﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
discerning eyes, even echoing
it in your hearts. Then he .‫ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤـﺎﺕ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻨـﻮﺭ ﻟﻌﻠـﻜﻢ ﻬﺗـﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
placed it in your hands that its
powerful message may cleanse
you from paganism's bondage
and usher you into the True
Light. Perchance you will wake
up from the long abysmal night
and recognize the True Light,
Jesus the Messiah, Our Word.

4 PEACE
(Surat AI Salaam)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬٤
In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have gone


astray from among Our faithful ‫ ﺇﻧﺎ‬:‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
followers: We have inspired it-a
True Furqan-in the Arabic
‫ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ‬
tongue clearly miraculous, to ‫ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﺑﻠﺴـﺎﻥ ﻋـﺮﰊ ﺑﲔ ﺍﻹﻋﺠـﺎﺯ‬
distinguish triviality from truth. It
‫ﻟﺘﺘﺒﻴﻨـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳍـﺪﻯ‬
will enlighten you concerning . ‫ﻭﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﺍ ﺳﻮﺀ ﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
the evil which you are
practicing.

2. You have counterfeited


Our tongue and fabricated ‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﻧﺘﺤﻠـﺘﻢ ﻟﺴـﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘـﻢ ﻋﻠﻴـﻨﺎ‬٢
deceitfully that We have
revealed a message which was ‫ﻛﺬﺑـﺎ ﺑﺄﻧـﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴـﻨﺎ ﻗﻮﻻ ﱂ ﻧﻘـﻠﻪ ﻭﺃﺗﻴـﻨﺎ‬
never declared and have ‫ﻓﻌﻼ ﱂ ﻧﻔﻌـﻠﻪ ﻭﺧﺪﻋﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻓﻀـﻞ ﻣﻦ‬
transacted what We have never
asked. You have brazenly ‫ﺻﺪﻗﻜـﻢ ﻭﻛﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ ﺑﻜـﻢ ﻭﺧﺎﺏ ﻛﻞ‬
misled the people away so that
whosoever trusted you was led . ‫ﻣﻔﺘﺮ ﺃﺛﻴـﻢ‬
astray and whosoever believed
you ended up losing his way.
Yet despair awaits every vile
slanderer.

3. As for those who


ex-changed Truth for triviality ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺷﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻟﺔ ﺑﺎﳍﺪﻯ ﻭﺃﻛﺮﻫﻮﺍ‬٣
and forced Our followers by the
edge of the sword to renounce ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﻒ ﻟﻴﻜﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻭﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ‬
Truth and believe falsehood, ‫ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺃﻋﺪﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﻢ ﻭﺃﻋﺪﺍﺀ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
they are the enemies of
genuine religion as well as . ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
enemies of Our chosen
children.

4. You proclaim that We ‫( ﻭﺗﺰﻋﻤﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﳓﺐ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻘﺎﺗﻠﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ‬٤


cherish those who kill on Our
behalf and have prescribed that . ‫ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﻛﺘﺒﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
believers should kill.
5. The slanderers have ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻓﻚ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺮﺩﺩﻭﻥ ﻗﻮﻝ‬٥
spo-ken falsely for they practice
deception frequently. However, . ‫ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺖ ﻭﺧﺎﺏ ﻛﻞ ﺟﺒﺎﺭ ﻋﻨﻴﺪ‬
every arrogant and stubborn
man shall fail inevitably.

6. Honestly now, can killing


ever be Our precept? Can We ‫( ﻓﺄﺗﻰ ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ؟ ﻭﺃﱏ ﻧﻜﺘﺐ ﻋﻠﻰ‬٦
decree upon Our faithful ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻳﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﻛﻔﺮﺓ ﳎﺮﻣﲔ ؟‬
follow-ers to turn themselves
into brutal murderers?

7. Whenever it is urged upon


the infidels to believe in The ‫(ﻭﺇﺫ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ‬٧
True Furqan, which We
revealed, just as Our devoted : ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺁﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﻮﻥ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬
followers have done, they ‫ﺃﻧﺆﻣﻦ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺁﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﻔﻬﺎﺀ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ ؟ ﺃﻻ ﺍﻬﻧﻢ‬
proclaim, It Are we to accept
what the inferior infidels have . ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻔﻬﺎﺀ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ ﻭﻟﻜﻨﻬﻢ ﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
believed?1t Are they not the
inferior infidels themselves?
Yet, their condition is concealed
from them.

8. O, people everywhere: you ‫( ﻳﺎﺃﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻟﻘـﺪ ﻛﻨﺘـﻢ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﺗــﹰﺎ‬٨


were spiritually dead, but We
raised you up through the word ‫ﻓﺄﺣﻴﻴـﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻹﳒﻴـﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣـﻦ‬
of The True Gospel, Jesus the
Messiah, because you believed ‫ﰒ ﳓﻴﻴـﻜﻢ‬. ‫ ﻭﻣﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓـﺮﻭﻥ‬، ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻠـﻤﺔ‬
in Him. Yet, those who would .‫ﺑﻨـﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ‬
not believe in Him died
spiritually. Then We brought
salvation to the people another ‫ ﰒ‬. ‫ ﻭﳝـﻮﺕ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓـﺮﻭﻥ‬، ‫ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ ﺑﺎﻟﻨـﻮﺭ‬
time, through the Light of The
True Furqan, Jesus the . ‫ﻧﻘﻴﻤـﻜﻢ ﲨﻴﻌـﹰﺎ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﳊﺴـﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻌﻈـﻴﻢ‬
Messiah, because they
believed in Him. Yet, those who
would not believe in Him would
become spiritually dead also.
Nevertheless, We shall raise
you all up on that great
Judgment Day.

9. Following that disclosure,


some of you hardened your
‫( ﻭﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻓﺌﺔ ﻗﺴﺖ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺫﻟﻚ‬٩
hearts, hearts which eventually ‫ﻓﻬﻰ ﻛﺎﳊﺠﺎﺭﺓ ﺃﻭ ﺃﺷﺪ ﻗﺴﻮﺓ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻣﻦ‬
became as hard as rock or
more. Yet, even from some ‫ﺍﳊﺠﺎﺭﺓ ﳌﺎ ﻳﺘﻔﺠﺮ ﻣﻨﻪ ﺍﻷﻬﻧﺎﺭ ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﺭﲪﻮﺍ‬
rocks a river can burst forth, as
We did with Moses of old.
‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺗﺮﲪﻮﻥ ﻭﲢﺸﺮﻭﻥ ﻣﻊ‬
Repent, therefore, have .‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
compassion on your souls.
Doing so you will find mercy
and be gathered with the
righteous at the end.

10. "To surrender to


Our will completely" and "to
obey Our commandments ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﺳﺘﺴﻼﻡ ﳌﺸﻴﺌﺘﻨﺎ‬١٠
freely" is genuine faith. For Our
ultimate will is mercy and ‫ﻭﺇﻃﺎﻋﺔ ﻷﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻣﺸﻴﻨﺎ ﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻭﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ‬
peace. Our supreme
commandments are
‫ﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺇﺧﺎﺀ ﻓﺄﱏ ﺗﻌﺎﺭﺿﻮﻥ ﻣﺸﻴﺌﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ‬
unconditional love and .‫؟ ﻭﺗﻌﺼﻮﻥ ﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻭﺗﺘﻘﻤﻮﻥ ؟‬
sacro-sanct brotherhood. How
then dare you oppose Our will
and kill, kill, kill and transgress
Our command in order to
avenge yourselves!

11. You have indeed ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻛﺬﺑﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ‬١١
misrep-resented Us by
declaring that We have not
‫ﰱ ﺍﻟﺸﻬﺮ ﺍﳊﺮﺍﻡ ﰒ ﻧﺴﺨﻨﺎ ﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻓﺤﻠﻠﻨﺎ‬
sanctioned warfare during the .‫ﻓﻴﻪ ﻗﺘﺎﻻ ﻛﺒﲑﹰﺍ‬
"holy months." But later you
annulled what We had
forbidden, saying instead, "We
sanctioned much fighting."

12. We have neither


sanction-ed the forbidden, nor
‫ﺇﻥ‬،‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﺣﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺣﻠﻠﻨﺎ ﺣﺮﺍﻣﺎﹰ‬١٢
have We forbidden the ‫ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﺇﻓﻚ ﺃﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ‬
sanctioned. In fact, the entire
story was a delusion you .‫ﻳﻔﻠﺢ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
yourselves have fabricated on
Our behalf Remember, in the
end tale-bearers will never win.

13 . We have commanded,
"You shall not kill and you shall ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺃﻥ ﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﻠـﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﻔﻜـﻮﺍ‬١٣
not shed blood." Instead, you
are the unjust killers of your ‫ﺩﻣﹰﺎ ﰒ ﺃﻧﺘـﻢ ﻫﺆﻻﺀ ﺗﻘﺘـﻠﻮﻥ ﺇﺧﻮﺍﻧﻜـﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
own brothers, who are among
Our righteous followers!
‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊـﲔ ﺇﳕـﺎ ﻭﻋـﺪﻭﻧﺎ‬
Without our authorization you ‫ ﻓﻜﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺴﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﰱ‬، ‫ﻭﺗﺴﻔﻜﻮﻥ ﺩﻣﻬـﻢ‬
are shedding their blood! You
have become evil doers ‫ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺟـﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﺇﻻ‬
denying Our decree in The True
Gospel. The punish-ment for
‫ﺧﺰﻱ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧـﻴﺎ ﻭﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ‬
such evildoers is self defeat in
this world and at the End; they ‫ﻳﺮﺩﻭﻥ ﺇﱃ ﺃﺷﺪ ﺍﻟﻌﺬﺍﺏ ﻭﻣﺎ ﳓﻦ ﺑﻐﺎﻓﻠﲔ ﻋﻤﺎ‬
will be rushed to the worst
torment. For we are not .‫ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
unaware of their vile deeds.

14. You even incited killing ‫( ﻭﺣﺮﺿﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺘـﺎﻝ ﻭﺇﺟﺘﻨـﺎﺏ‬١٤


and bypassing peace,
announc-ing, "Do not get wear ‫ " ﻻ ﻬﺗﻨـﻮﺍ ﻭﺗﺪﻋـﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ‬: ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻠﻢ ﻓﻘﻠﺘـﻢ‬
of fighting and pursue not
‫ﺍﻟﺴﻠـﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺘـﻢ ﺍﻷﻋﻠـﻮﻥ ﻭﺍﷲ ﻣﻌﻜـﻢ ﻭﻟﻦ‬
peace until you are high above
your enemies. God is with you . ‫ﻳﺘﺮﻛﻜـﻢ‬
and will never defraud your
great deeds. "

15. Let us be very clear on ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﺗﺴﺘﺮ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻠﺔ ﻭﺃﻋﺪﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﻠﻢ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ‬١٥
these matters. We never
reward the work of murderers ‫ﺇﳕﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻳﺮﺩﻭﻬﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﺮﺩﻭﻥ ﺃﺳﻔﻞ‬
and enemies of peace. Rather,
.‫ﺳﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
their punishment will be the
eternal torments of hellfire.
Once they arrive there, they will
be cast into the very bottom of
that horrible pit.

5 FAITH
(Surat AI Emaan) ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ‬٥
In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. You have corrupted the


verses of The True Gospel. You
‫( ﻭﺣﺮﻓﺘﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬١
have even concealed Our Word ‫ﻭﻛﺘﻤﺘـﻢ ﻛﻠﻤﺘـﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﺗﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﺻﺮﺍﻃـﹰﺎ ﺫﺍ‬
and followed a crooked path.
Then you persuaded those who ‫ﻋﻮﺝ ﻭﺃﻭﳘﺘـﻢ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻜـﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
followed you that you were on .‫ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﻣﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
the right path.

2. Is it conceivable that you ‫( ﻓﺄﱏ ﺗﺆﻣﻨـﻮﻥ ﺑﻨـﺎ ﻭﻗـﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﰎ‬٢


would put your trust in Us when
you have denied Our Word? ‫ﺑﻜﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ؟ ﻭﺃﱏ َ ﺗﻌﺒﺪﻭﻧﻨـﺎ ﻭﻗـﺪ ﻋﺼﻴﺘﻢ‬
Can you be numbered among
our true believers when you ‫ﱏ ﺗﻄﻌﻤـﻮﻥ ﺑﺮﲪﺎﺗـﻨﺎ ﻭﻣـﺎ‬
‫ﺃﻣﺮﻧـﺎ ؟ ﻭﺃ ﹶ‬
consistently practice ‫ﱏ‬
‫ﺭﲪﺘـﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻀﻌﻔـﲔ ؟ ﻭﺃ ﹶ‬
disobedience to Our prescribed
commands? We fur-thermore ‫ﺗﺪﺧـﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﳉﻨـﺔ ﻭﻗﺪ ﻋﺎﺭﺿﺘـﻢ ﺳﻨﺘـﻨﺎ‬
interrogate you, "Why would
you anticipate Our mercy when ‫ﻭﻧﺒـﺬﰎ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻳـﻢ ؟‬
you never show any mercy to
Our vulnerable ones? How can
you expect entry into Paradise
when you vehemently oppose
Our
precepts and turn your back
from the True Faith?

3. O, you who have gone ‫ ﺃﻗﻤﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٣
astray from among Our faithful
followers: you have raised up ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻋﺪﻭﺍ ﻟﺪﻭﺩﺍ ﻟﻠﺤﻖ ﻭﺣﻠﻴﻔﺎ ﲪﻴﻤﺎ‬
from among you a powerful
enemy against the Truth and a . ‫ﻟﻠﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻣﻴﻢ‬
strong ally to Satan, the
diabolical devil
4. As a result of such ‫( ﻭﻗﺴﺖ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜـﻢ ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬٤
an assault your hearts became
hardened, Satan embellished ‫ﺳـﻮﺀ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﻟﻜـﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘـﻢ ﻗـﻮﻡ‬
your horrendous works and you .‫ﻣﺴﺤﻮﺭﻭﻥ‬
became a beguiled and
bewitched people.

5. However, those who trust


Us, Our Word, Our Spirit, Our ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﺑﻨـﺎ ﻭﺑﻜﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺭﻭﺣﻨﺎ‬٥
Oneness, Our brotherhood of
mankind, Our fatherhood, The ‫ﻭﻭﺣﺪﺍﻧﻴﺘـﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﺄﺧـﻮﺓ ﺍﻹﻧﺴـﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﺑﻮﺗـﻨﺎ‬
True Gospel, The True Furqan ‫ﻭﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣـﻦ ﺑﻌﺪﻩ‬
after the Gospel, and have
stood by Our principles, truly ‫ﻭﺃﻗﺎﻣﻮﺍ ﺳﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫـﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
are Our righteous worshipers.
They will eventually have the ‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﻟـﺤﻮﻥ ﻧﺮﻳﻬـﻢ ﻭﺟﻬﻨﺎ ﻭﳍﻢ ﺟﻨـﺎﺕ‬
privilege of beholding Our face .‫ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ ﻫﻢ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺧﺎﻟﺪﻭﻥ‬
and will enjoy the glorious
mansions where they will dwell
with us forever.

6. Only then We will harken to


the aspiration of the heart. not
the gibberish of the tongue. For
the chirpings of love are much ‫( ﻭﻧﺴﻤـﻊ ﺩﻋﻮﺓ ﺍﻟﻘﻠـﺐ ﻻ ﻟﻐﻮ‬٦
louder than the clash of swords ‫ﺍﻟﻠﺴـﺎﻥ ﻓﻬﻤﺲ ﺍﶈـﺒﺔ ﺃﺟﻬﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺻﻠﻴـﻞ‬
or the strikings of the necks.
Love will finally be triumphant ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻴـﻮﻑ ﻭﺿﺮﺏ ﺍﻟﺮﻗـﺎﺏ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺼـﺮ‬
despite the appalling rejection
of the wicked. Then faith will .‫ﻟﻠﻤﺤﺒـﺔ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛـﺮﻩ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﻮﻥ‬
become sight. What a day!
7. Those who have been ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺧﺪﻋﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧﻢ ﻳﺴﺒﺤﻮﻧﻨﺎ‬٧
misled in their faith continue to
lift up their voices in praise. Yet ‫ﺑﺄﻓﻮﺍﻫﻬﻢ ﻭﺃﻣﺎ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻓﺒﻌﻴﺪﺓ ﻋﻨﺎ ﻓﻼﻫﻢ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ‬
their hearts are very far from
Us. They have neither trusted . ‫ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﻳﺴﺒﺤﻮﻥ‬
Us completely nor are they
praising Us heartily-it is only lip-
service!

8. They actually exchanged


trust for mistrust, thus losing the ‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﺗﺒﺪﻟﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﺑﺎﻹﳝـﺎﻥ ﻓﻀﻠﻮﺍ‬٨
straight way. Therefore. their
eventual lot is a life of utter ‫ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴـﻞ ﻭﺿﻞ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬
disarray. .‫ﻳﺰﻋﻤﻮﻥ‬

TRUTH (Surat AI Haq)

In the Name of the Father, the

and only True God
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. We have displayed
The True Furqan as a beacon
of light vindicating truth and ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨـﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻋﻠـﻰ ﻧﻮ ٍﺭ‬١
vanquishing falsehood despite
the objections of the opposition. ‫ﳏﻘﺎ ﻟﻠﺤـﻖ ﻭﻣﺰﻫﻘﹰﺎ ﻟﻠﺒﺎﻃـﻞ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻛﺮﻩ‬
. ‫ﺍﳌﺒﻄﻠﻮﻥ‬
2. The True Furqan
exposes the deception of
Satan, the wicked one, even if ‫( ﻓﻔﻀﺢ ﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻴﻢ ﻭﻟﻮ ﺗﱰﻝ‬٢
his treachery was manifested .‫ﺑﻮﺣﻰ ﻣﻠﻚ ﺭﺣﻴﻢ‬
through a misguided and
compassionate potentate.

3. The True Furqan ‫( ﻭﺃﺑﻄﻞ ﻓـﺮِﺑﻪ ﺭﺳﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟـﲔ ﻭﻟـﻮ‬٣


diffuses the fabrication of
Satan's perverse messengers . ‫ﻧﻄﻘﻮﺍ ﲟـﺎ ﺃﻋﺠﺰ ﺍﻷﻣﻴﲔ‬
in spite of their using brilliant
articulation to confound the
illiterates.

4. The True Furqan also lays


bare the deceit of his followers ‫( ﻭﻛﺸﻒ ﺿﻼﻟـﺔ ﺃﺗﺒـﺎﻋﻪ ﻭﻟﻮ ﺗﻘﻤﺼﻮﺍ‬٤
regardless of their covering
themselves with the robes of . ‫ﺟﻼﺑﻴﺐ ﺍﳌﻬﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
the rightly-guided.

5. Finally, when they


gathered the fruit of their labors,
behold, they received the ‫( ﻓﺠﻨـﻮﺍ ﲦـﺮﺍﺕ ﺃﻋﻤـﺎﳍﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻗـﻮﺍ‬٥
punish-ment deceivers deserve, . ‫ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳـﻦ‬
instead of a reward!

6. Out of the heart of the ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﻗﻠـﻮﺏ ﺍﻷﺑـﺮﺍﺭ ﻣﻨﺎﺑﻊ ﻟﻠﺨـﲑ‬٦


righteous emerge goodness,
love, purity, peace, truth and ‫ﻭﺍﶈﺒـﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻬـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺴـﻼﻡ ﻭﺍﳊـﻖ‬
faith.
. ‫ﻭﺍﻹﳝـﺎﻥ‬
7. But the heart of the wicked
individual is made up of ‫( ﻭﺃﻣـﺎ ﻗﻠـﻮﺏ ﺍﻷﺷـﺮﺍﺭ ﻓﻤﻨﺎﺿـﺢ‬٧
cesspools of iniquity, animosity, ‫ﻟﻠﺸـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀـﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻔـﺎﺡ ﻭﺍﻟﻘـﺘﻞ‬
debauch-ery, murder,
exploitation and blasphemy. .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻈﻠـﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮﺍﻥ‬

‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﲦـﺎﺭ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍـﻢ ﻳﻌﺮﻓـﻮﻥ ﻭﻣﻦ‬٨


8. Therefore, everyone shall
be known by his fruits. Because . ‫ﻓﻴـﺾ ﺍﻟﻘﻠـﺐ ﻳﻨﻄـﻖ ﺍﻟﻠﺴـﺎﻥ‬
the tongue spells out what is
within the heart.

9. O, people everywhere: if
any messenger, prophet or ‫ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺟـﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺭﺳـﻮﻝ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﻨـﺎﺱ‬٩
even an angel out of Heaven ‫ﺃﻭ ﻧﱯ ﺃﻭ ﻣﻠـﻚ ﺍﻟﺴﻤـﺎﺀ ﺑﻐـﲑ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺌﻨﺎﻛﻢ‬
comes to you with something
else besides what we deliver to ‫ﺑﻪ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒـﻴﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻣﻦ‬
you, in The True Gospel and
The True Furqan, do not harken ‫ﺑﻌـﺪﻩ ﻓﻼ ﺗﺴﺘﻤﻌـﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴـﻪ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺘﺒﻌـﻮﺍ‬
unto him. Do not follow in his ‫ﺳﺒﻴـﻠﻪ ﻓﻬـﻮ ﻣﺎﺭﻕ ﻛﺎﻓـﺮ ﻭﺷﻴﻄـﺎﻥ‬
footsteps. He is certainly an
apostate, a blasphemer and a . ‫ﺃﺛـﻴﻢ‬
wicked one.

10. We have warned you ‫( ﻭﺣﺬﺭﻧـﺎﻛﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴـﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻣـﻦ‬١٠


before, in The True Gospel,
concerning the apostate ‫ﺍﻷﻧﺒﻴـﺎﺀ ﺍﻷﻓﺎﻛـﲔ ﻓﻠـﻢ ﻬﺗﺘــــﺪﻭﺍ‬
prophets. But you did not take ‫ﻭﺫﻛﺮﻧﺎﻛﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻓﺎﻫﺘـﺪﻭﺍ‬
heed. We urge you in The True
Furqan, put on your guard and ‫ﻭﺍﺣﺰﺭﻭﻫـﻢ ﻓﻬـﻢ ﻣﻜـﺮﺓ ﻣﻔﺘـﺮﻭﻥ‬
be rightly-guided, for they are
lying conspi-rators and
blasphemous apostates. By
their wicked fruits they shall be
known that they are the ‫ﻭﻛﻔﺮﺓ ﻣﺎﺭﻗﻮﻥ ﻭﻣﻦ ﲦﺎﺭ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ ﻓﻬﻢ‬
messengers of Satan the

ONENESS (Surat AI ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺣﻴﺪ‬٧
Tawheed)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have :‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١


blasphemed, yet still claim to be ‫ﻟﻴﺲ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻟﻐﻮﹰﺍ ﻣﻌﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﺗﺮﺩﺩﻭﻧﻪ ﺗﺮﺩﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﺇﳕﺎ‬
counted among Our faithful
followers: faith is not repetitive ‫ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﻥ ﺗﻌﻤﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﺎﺕ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬
gibberish that you chant like a
ballad, rather it is the practice of . ‫ﻗﺎﻧﺘﻮﻥ‬
righteous deeds with a devoted
heart.

2. You have no reasonable ‫( ﻭﻣـﺎ ﻛـﺎﻥ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺃﻥ ﲡﺎﺩﻟــــﻮﺍ‬٢


cause to argue with Our faithful
followers concerning their faith. ‫ﻋﺒــــﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـــﲔ ﰱ ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧــﻢ‬
Neither should you involve
them in your skepticism. ‫ﻭﺗﻜﻔـﺮﻭﻫـﻢ ﺑﻜﻔــﺮﻛﻢ ﻓﺴــــﻮﺍﺀ‬
Whether We manifest ‫ﲡﻠـــﻴﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺣـــﺪﹰﺍ ﺃﻭ ﺛﻼﺛـــﺔ ﺃﻭ‬
Ourselves as only One, a
Triune God, ninety-nine or three ‫ﺗﺴـــﻌﻪ ﻭﺗﺴـﻌﲔ‬
hundred sixty-five
manifestations (as contained in
The Holy Book about Jesus) is ‫ﻓﻼ ﺗﻘﻮﻟــﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻟــﻴﺲ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋـﻠﻢ‬
not for you to determine. Your ‫ﻭﺇﻧــﺎ ﺃﻋﻠــﻢ ﲟــﻦ ﺿــﻞ ﻋـﻦ‬
knowledge is very finite, but We
are infinite in everything and . ‫ﺍﻟﺴـﺒﻴﻞ ﻭﺇﻧـﺎ ﺃﻋﻠــﻢ ﺑﺎﳌﻬﺘــﺪﻳﻦ‬
know for certain the one who
has gone astray and the one
who has found the True Way.

3. Consequently, purify ‫( ﻓﻄﻬــﺮﻭﺍ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜــﻢ ﻣﻦ ﳒـﺲ‬٣


your-selves from the blasphemy ‫ﺍﻟﺸـﺮﻙ ﻓﺬﻟﻜﻢ ﺧﲑ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﻭﺃﺑﻘـﻰ ﻭﺍﲢﺪﻭﺍ‬
of adding partners to God, for it
is preferable and more ‫ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘــﻨﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺸــﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴـﻜﻢ‬
profitable for you. Join
yourselves to Our Word, Jesus . ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺸـﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻣـﻴﻢ‬
of Nazareth, and have nothing
to do with Satan, the
despicable one.

4. Let your marriages be


monogamous and do not join ‫( ﻭﻭﺣــﺪﻭﺍ ﺃﺯﻭﺍﺟـﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺸـﺮﻛﻮﺍ‬٤
other women to your first wife.
After all, they do not join other ‫ﻬﺑـﻦ ﺃﺧـﺮﻳﺎﺕ ﻓﻬـﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺸـﺮﻛﻦ ﺑﻜـﻢ‬
husbands to you. And do not ‫ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﺮﺑـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟـﺰﱏ ﺇﻧـﻪ ﻓﺎﺣﺸﺔ‬. ‫ﺁﺧـﺮﻳﻦ‬
ever consider adultery. It is a
plague to the believers and a . ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﻭﺁﻓﺔ ﺍﳌﺘﻘـﲔ‬
cancer to the dedicated souls.

5. You yourselves must


revere Us and train your
spouses and children do the ‫( ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺯﻭﺍﺟﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻭﻻﺩﻛﻢ‬٥
same. Allow no other redeemer ‫ﻭﻻ ﲡﻌﻠﻮﺍ ﳍﻢ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺘﺨﺬﻭﺍ‬
for them except Us and no one
else should displace you in ‫ﳍـﻢ ﺃﻛﻔـﻴﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧـﻜﻢ ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘـﻢ‬
their lives if you are sincere and .‫ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
trustworthy.

6. Who granted you the right ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛـﺎﻥ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺪﻳـﻨﻮﺍ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ‬٦
to hand out a judgment upon
others, whether they added ‫ﻭﲢﻜﻤـﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻬـﻢ ﺃﻛﺎﻧـﻮﺍ ﻣﺸﺮﻛـﲔ ﺃﻡ‬
partners to Us or believe~ in
Oneness, or whether they are ‫ﻣﻮﺣـﺪﻳﻦ ﺃﻭ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﺫﻯ ﻋـﻮﺝ ﺃﻡ‬
faithful followers of a straight or ‫ ﻓﺴﺘﺪﺍﻧـﻮﻥ ﲟﺎ‬. ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﻣﺴﺘﻘـﻴﻢ‬
a crooked path? Do you not
know that you will be judged .‫ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﺪﻳﻨـﻮﻥ‬
with the same judgment that
you meted upon others?

‫( ﻭﻣـﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨـﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳـﻮﻝ ﻳﺪﻳـﻦ‬٧


7. We have rarely sent a
messenger to judge Our . ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴـﺎ ﻗﺒـﻞ ﻳـﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
servants while still on this earth
ahead of the Judgment Day.

8. But that messenger has , ‫( ﻳﻘﺘـﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣـﻦ ﺑﺎﳊـﻖ ﻭﺍﳍـﺪﻯ‬٨


designated himself as equal to
Us , as a judge of the worlds. ‫ﻭﻳﺴﺘﺤـﻴﻲ ﻣﻦ ﺻـﺪﻕ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ‬
He proceeded to kill whosoever
trusted in Truth and .‫ﻭﺍﺳﺘـﻮﻯ ﺩﻳﺎﻧـﹰﺎ ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌـﲔ‬
Righteous-ness, but he spared
everyone who trusted in
faithlessness and corruption.
9. You have selected corrupt
rulers from your midst and ‫( ﻟﻘـﺪ ﺃﻗﻤـﺘﻢ ﻣـﻦ ﺃﻧﻔﺴـﻜﻢ ﺣﻜـﺎﻣﺎ‬٩
condemned Our faithful
followers when you yourselves ‫ً ﻇﺎﳌــﲔ ﺗﺪﻳﻨــﻮﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧــﺎ ﻭﺃﻧﺘــﻢ‬
are the condemned. You have ‫ﺍﳌﺪﻳﻨــﻮﻥ ﻭﺗﻜﻔﺮﻭﻬﻧــﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺘــﻢ‬
even ac-cused them of
paganism when you yourselves . ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓـﺮﻭﻥ‬
are the pagans.

10. You recite, "Wisdom can ‫ " ﺗﺒـﲔ ﺍﻟﺮﺷـﺪ ﻣﻦ‬: ‫( ﺗﻘﻮﻟـﻮﻥ‬١٠
now be distinguished from
foolishness. Consequently, ." ‫ﺍﻟﻐـﻲ ﻓـﻼ ﺇﻛـﺮﺍﻩ ﻓـﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
there must not be any
compulsion in religion. "

11. One is totally mystified ‫( ﻭﻗـﺪ ﺃﺧﺘـﺮﰎ ﺍﻟﻐـﻲ ﻭﺃﻛﺮﻫـﺘﻢ‬١١


because you selected
foolishness and compelled . ‫ﺍﻟﻨـﺎﺱ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴـﻒ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺩﻳـﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓـﺮﻳﻦ‬
people, by the edge of the
sword, to accept the religion of
infidels.

12. Cunningly, Satan inserted ‫( ﻭﺩﺱ ﺍﻟﺸﻴـﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﻜــﺮﹰﺍ ﻣـﻨﻪ ﺑﻌﺾ‬١٢


some well-known sacred ‫ﺍﻵﻳـﺎﺕ ﺍﶈﻜـﻤﺎﺕ ﻟﻴﻀﻠﻜـﻢ ﻭﻳﻬﺪﻳﻜـﻢ‬
scrip-ture. Then he inserted
some Satanic verses into your ‫ﺇﱃ ﺍﳌﺘﺸـﺎﻬﺑﺎﺕ ﺍﺑﺘﻐـﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻔﺘـﻨﺔ ﻭﺗﺄﻭﻳـﻠﻬﺎ‬
book to lead you into rebellion
against the Living God. This .‫ﻼ ﺟﻬـﻮ ﹰﻻ‬
‫ﺗﺄﻭﻳـ ﹰ‬
resulted in interpreting all of
them in an absurd manner.
13. The people who trusted ‫( ﻓﺄﺗﺒـﻌﻪ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺑـﻢ ﺯﻳـﻎ‬١٣
him were those who had malice
in their hearts. However, the ‫ﻭﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﺳﺨـﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌـﻠﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒـﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
ones who were well-established ‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺣـﲔ ﻓﻴﻌﻠﻤـﻮﻥ ﺗﺄﻭﻳﻠﻬﺎ ﻭﻳﻌﻠﻤـﻮﻥ ﺃﻬﻧﺎ‬
in wisdom from among Our
righteous followers recognized ‫ﻟﻴﺴـﺖ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪﻧـﺎ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﺎﻧـﺖ ﻣﻦ‬
the difference. They understood
that Satanic verses are never ‫ﻋﻨـﺪﻧﺎ ﳌﺎ ﻭﺟـﺪﻭﺍ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺍﺧﺘـﻼﻓﹰﺎ ﻛﺒﲑﹰﺍ‬
inspired by Us. Had they been .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﻻ ﻧﺴـﺨﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺒﺪﻳ ﹰ‬
inspired by Us, there would not
have been the slightest
contradic-tion, neither any
abrogation, nor any corruption.

14. Consequently, We
redeemed Our servants by the ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺪﻳﻨـﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧــﺎ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﳊﻴـﺎﺓ‬١٤
Word of life and many were ‫ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌﻬـﺎ ﻛﺜـﲑﻭﻥ ﻭﺃﺿـﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄــﺎﻥ‬
those who followed the Word,
Messiah Jesus. Unfortunately, ‫ﻛﺜـﲑﹰﺍ ﻓﻜﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻓﺬﻛﺮﻧـﺎﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺬﺭﻧـﺎﻫﻢ‬
Satan mani-pulated some who
rebelled. Still, We keep ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻟﻌﻠﻬـﻢ ﻳﻬﺘـﺪﻭﻥ‬
reminding and caution-ing them .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺳﺒﻴـ ﹰ‬
throughout The True Furqan
and our earnest hope is for
them to be guided to the
straight way and not go astray.

Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. O, gossiping people who : ‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫـﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﻔـﺎﻕ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒـﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
still claim to be counted among
Our worshipers: do not be ‫ﻻ ﺗﺴﺘـﻜﱪﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﻘﻮﻟـﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻟﻴـﺲ ﻟﻜـﻢ‬
arrogant and speak much about
that which you are not ‫ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻓﻠـﻴﺲ ﺍﳊـﺮﺙ ﲟـﺪﺭﻙ ﻛـﻨﻪ‬
knowledgeable. The plowman ‫ﺍﻟﺰﺭﻉ ﻭﻻ ﻫﺬﺍ ﲟـﺪﺭﻙ ﻛـﻨﻪ ﺍﻟﺪﺍﺑـﻪ ﻭﻻ‬
does not grasp the essence of
that which is to be planted. ‫ﺗـﻠﻚ ﲟـﺪﺭﻛﻪ ﻛـﻨﻪ ﺍﻻﻧـﺲ ﻭﻻ‬
Neither in turn does the seed
grasp the essence of the ‫ﺍﻹﻧـﺲ ﻳﻌـﻘﻞ ﻛﻨﻬـﻨﺎ ﻭﻟﻜـﻞ ﺟﻌـﻠﻨﺎ‬
plowing beast of burden. Nor in ‫ﺷﺮﻋـﺔ ﻭﻣﻨﻬـﺎﺟﹰﺎ ﻓﻜـﻞ ﻟﺴـﻨﺔ‬
turn does the beast of burden
grasp the true nature of . ‫ﳜﻀﻌـﻮﻥ‬
mankind. Nor does the human
race understand Our nature
thoroughly. We have
designated a scientific law and
a set principle to each of these
entities to which they must
submit.

2. Someone from among you


has echoed the statements of
the counterfeiters and trusted ‫( ﻭﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺩﺩ ﻟﻐﻮ ﺍﶈﺮﻓﲔ ﻭﺻﺪﻕ ﺇﻓﻚ‬٢
the deception of the deceivers. . ‫ﺍﳌﺎﺭﻗﲔ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﻇﻠﻮﻣﹰﺎ ﺟﻬﻮ ﹰﻻ‬
The man ended up being an
oppressed and unenlightened
person.

3. You have also fabricated


untruths about Our trustworthy
worshipers. You claimed that
they said, "God has taken to ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘـﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺒـﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﻛﺬﺑﹰﺎ‬٣
himself a female companion, ‫ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺍﲣﺬﻧـﺎ ﺻﺎﺣـﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﲣﺬﻧـﺎ‬:‫ﺑﺄﻬﻧﻢ ﻗﺎﻟـﻮﺍ‬
and He has gotten from her a
son." You have lied by adding a .‫ﻣﻨﻬﺎ ﻭﻟﺪ‬
partner to Us. You have .‫ﺃﻓﻜﺘﻢ ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻛﺘﻢ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺑﻴﻼ‬
fabricated a monstrous
blasphemy.

4. Additionally, you have ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘـﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﺍﻹﳒﻴـﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﳏـﺮﻑ‬٤


alleged that some portions of
The True Gospel have been ‫ﺑﻌﻀـﻪ ﻓﻨﺒـﺬﰎ ﺟـﻠﻪ ﻭﺭﺍﺀ ﻇـﻬﻮﺭ‬
altered. So, you discarded most
of it behind your backs. Had ‫ﺣـﻜﻢ ﻭﻟـﻮ ﺁﻣﻨﺘـﻢ ﺑﺴﻨـﺔ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﳌﺎ‬
you believed Our Divine ‫ﺃﺩﻋﻴﺘـﻢ ﺑﺘﺤﺮﻳﻔـﻪ ﻭﻻ ﻫﺘﺪﻳﺘـﻢ ﺑﻨـﻮﺭﻩ‬
Revelation, you would not have
claimed that it was altered. .‫ﻭﻛﻨﺘـﻢ ﺃﻫـﺪﻯ ﺳﺒﻴـﻼ‬
Guided by its light, you would
have been marching on the
unassailable highway to
heaven.

5. Infidelity obstructed your


understanding. Forgery blinded
your eyesight and ‫( ﻭﺃﻋﺸﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺑﺼﺮﻛﻢ ﻭﺃﻋﻤﻰ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺖ‬٥
consequently, you lost your way
and naturally whosoever ‫ﺑﺼﲑﺗﻜﻢ ﻓﻀﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﻭﺿﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﻜﻢ ﻭﺳﺎﺀ‬
followed you went astray. .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺩﻟﻴ ﹰ‬

6. We have inspired it as The


True Furqan in order that We ‫( ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻟﻨﺨﺮﺝ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻣﻦ‬٦
may deliver the misguided from
darkness into light. Many of ‫ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﺍﱃ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ ﺻﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ‬
them were snared unawares!
.‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
7. It must be emphasized that ‫( ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﻈﻠﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﻟﻜﻨﻬﻢ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ‬٧
We Ourselves never oppress
people in any fashion. Rather, it .‫ﻳﻈﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
is they who do that to
themselves.

8. Righteousness is not
turning ones face to the South ‫( ﻭﻟﻴﺲ ﺍﻟـﱪ ﺃﻥ ﺗﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﻭﺟﻮﻫـﻜﻢ ﻗﺒﻞ‬٨
or to the North when one prays. ‫ﺍﳉﻨـﻮﺏ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﻤـﺎﻝ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﻟـﱪ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ‬
Rather, righteousness means
that one should trust in Us and ‫ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻋﻤـﻞ ﺑﺴُﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﱴ ﺗﺄﻣﺮ ﺑﺎﳌﻌـﺮﻭﻑ‬
practice Our principles of
morality, as revealed in The ‫ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻔﻌـﻮﻻ ﻭﺗﻨﻬـﻰ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ‬
Ten Command-ments. There .‫ﻭﺍﳌـﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐـﻰ ﻬﻧﻴﹰﺎ ﻣﻔﻌـﻮ ﹰﻻ‬
We instruct that com-passion
must be diligently practiced and
forbid debauchery, depravity
and diabolical degener-acy
completely.

9. Those who enunciate with


their tongues what is not in their ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻟﺴﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﻣﺎ‬٩
hearts and gossip about Us are
ill· informed and have denied .‫ﻟﻴﺲ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﺎﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
the truth.

10. As for those who falsified ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻜﱪﻭﺍ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ ﻻ‬١٠
and disregarded Our scriptures,
neither the gates of Heaven will ‫ﺗﻔﺘﺢ ﳍﻢ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ‬
be opened for them nor will ‫ﺣﱴ ﻳﻠﺞ ﺍﳉﻤﻞ ﰱ ﺳﻢ ﺍﳋﻴﺎﻁ ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ‬
they enter the Garden until the
camel can enter through the
tailor's eye of the needle. . ‫ﻭﺍﺭﺟﻌﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬
Therefore, they must repent
and go back to the sensible
religion and the straight
pathway.

11. The True Furqan has ‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﺟـﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﳌﻮﻋﻈﺔ‬١١
come to you with eloquent
preaching, a remedy for the ‫ﺍﳊﺴـﻨﺔ ﻭﺑﺎﻟﺸﻔـﺎﺀ ﳌـﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺼـﺪﻭﺭ‬
sick heart, true guidance and ‫ﻭﺑﺎﳍـﺪﻯ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪـﺔ ﻓﺎﺗﻌﻈﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﻧﺰﻋـﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ‬
steadfast compassion. Now
then, take heed and remove ‫ﰱ ﺻﺪﻭﺭﻛـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻏـﻞ ﻭﺍﺑﺘﻐـﻮﺍ ﺭﺿﻮﺍﻧﻨﺎ‬
whatever hostility is in your
heart. Pursue Our divine wilt . ‫ﻭﺭﲪﺘﻨﺎ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺗﺮﲪﻮﻥ‬
perchance you will experience
compassion bestowed upon
you all.

12. O, you who have believed


in Us from among Our : ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٢
worship-ers: the misled people
will not accept you as equals ‫ﻟـﻦ ﻳﺮﺿـﻰ ﻋﻨﻜـﻢ ﺃﻫـﻞ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘـﺎﻥ‬
until you subscribe to their ‫ ﻗﻮﻟـﻮﺍ ﺇﻥ ﻫـﺪﺍﻧﺎ‬. ‫ﺣـﱴ ﺗﺘﺒﻌـﻮﺍ ﻣﺎﻬﺗـﻢ‬
religion. Affirm to them that Our
illumination is the Ultimate ‫ﻫـﻮ ﺍﳍـﺪﻯ ﻭﻟﺌـﻦ ﺃﺗﺒﻌﺘـﻢ ﺃﻫﻮﺍﺀﻫـﻢ‬
Illuminator himself, The
Incarnate Word. Yet, if they ‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﺍﻟـﺬﻯ ﺟﺎﺀﻛـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﻠـﻢ ﻭﺍﳍـﺪﻯ‬
decide to pursue their crooked ‫ﰱ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻓﻘـﺪ ﻛـﻔﺮﰎ ﻭﻣـﺎ‬
way . after all the
understanding and illumination .‫ﻟﻜـﻢ ﻣـﻦ ﻭﱃ ﻭﻻ ﻧﺼـﲑ‬
that has been disclosed to them
in The True Furqan and The
True Gospel, We will number
them among the pagans. If that
occurs, they will have neither a
savior nor a supporter at the
end of their long journey.

‫( ﻭﻗـﺎﻡ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻧﻔﺴـﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻛﺎﻓـﺄ‬١٣


13. There arose one from
among you who equated ‫ﻧﻔﺴـﻪ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘـﻨﺎ ﻭﺭﻭﺣـﻨﺎ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ‬
himself with Our Word Jesus,
the Messiah, as well as with
‫ﻭﺑﺮﺳﻠﻨـﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗـﲔ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﺣـﻴﺎ ﺍﳌﻮﺗـﻰ‬
Our trustworthy messengers. ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺑﺮﺃ ﺍﻷﻛﻤـﻪ ﻭﺍﻷﺑـﺮﺹ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺟـﺎﺀ ﺑﺄﻳﺔ‬
But, he did not raise the dead,
neither did he heal the deaf or ‫ﺑﺈﺫﻧـﻨﺎ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﺫﻧـﺎ ﻟﻪ ﺑـﺬﻟﻚ ﻓﻤـﺎ ﻛـﺎﻥ‬
cure the leper. Not one single
solitary miracle was performed
.‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺮﺳـﻠﲔ‬
by him. Since We did not grant
him any power to accomplish
such miracles, it is logical to
conclude that he is not one of
the true messengers.

14. Fundamentally, a ‫( ﺇﳕـﺎ ﻳﻄﻴـﻊ ﺍﻟﺮﺳـﻮﻝ ﻣﺮﺳـﻠﻪ‬١٤


messen-ger delivers the
message of the one who sent
‫ﻭﻳﻌﻤـﻞ ﲟﺸﻴﺌـﺘﻪ ﻭﺃﻣـﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺘـﻞ ﺍﻷﺣﻴﺎﺀ‬
him and performs his ‫ﻣﻦ ﻋـﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻴـﻦ ﺑﺄﻣـﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
commands. But the one who,
by Satan's commands, takes ‫ﺃﺣـﲕ ﺍﳌﻮﺗـﻰ ﺑﺈﺫﻧﻨـﺎ ﻓﺄﺗـﻰ ﻳﻜـﻮﻥ‬
the lives of Our trustworthy
Worshipers and cannot raise
.‫ﺭﺳـﻮﻻ ﻣﻄﻴـﻌﹰﺎ‬
the dead by Our authority,
should never be considered a
legitimate messenger of Ours.
15. There arose one from ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻡ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻧﺎﻉ ﻳﻨﻌﻖ ﺑﻨﻘﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ‬١٥
among you who shouted from
the rooftops that falsehood ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺣﻘﺪ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﻧﺼﺮﺓ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ‬
should conquer truth, infidelity
should be hostile toward fidelity, .‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﳋﲑ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﻟﻮﺣﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﲰﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
and evil should be victorious
over good-ness. Thus, he
harkened to the influence of
Satan.

16. Furthermore, he claimed


that We had declared, "0, ‫ "ﻳﺎ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ ﺑﻦ ﻣﺮﱘ‬: ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻨﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬١٦
Jesus, Son of Mary, did you
announce to the people, 'take ‫ﺃﺃﻧﺖ ﻗﻠﺖ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﺍﲣﺬﻭﱏ ﻭﺃﻣﻰ ﺇﳍﲔ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻥ‬
me and my mother as two gods ‫ﺍﷲ ؟ ﻭﺇﳕﺎ ﺗﻘﺪﺭ ﺃﻥ ﻬﻧﻠﻚ ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ ﺑﻦ ﻣﺮﱘ ﻭﺃﻣﻪ‬
but leave God alone?' And, if
We desire We can destroy the ."‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
Messiah, son of Mary, his
mother, and everyone else who
dwells on the earth."

17. How absurd! How can We


be at enmity with Our very Spirit ‫( ﻓﺄﱏ ﻧﻌـﺎﺩﻯ ﺭﻭﺣـﻨﺎ ﻭﻬﻧـﻠﻚ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ‬١٧
and destroy Our Own Word? ‫ﻭﺃﱏ ﻧﻨﻘﺴـﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺫﺍﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﳓـﻦ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣـﺪ‬
How can We disunite Our
essence when We are the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣـﺪ ﻭﻣﺎ ﳓـﻦ ﲟﻨﻘﺴﻤـﲔ ؟‬
and only True God of all
creation and We are not
disunited?

18. You have concocted a


wicked lie concerning Us. Woe ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺷﺮ ﻓﺮﺑﻪ ﻓﻮﻳﻞ ﻟﻜﻞ‬١٨
unto every rebellious and false
accuser! .‫ﻣﻔﺘﺮ ﺯﻧﻴﻢ‬
19. It is astonishing that you ‫( ﻭﺗﻠﺤﻈﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﰱ ﺃﻋﲔ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺬﻯ‬١٩
have the ability to detect the
speck in other people's eyes. .‫ﻭﺃﻣﺎ ﻣﺎ ﰱ ﻋﻴﻮﻧﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻏﺜﺎﺀ ﻓﻼ ﺗﻠﺤﻈﻮﻥ‬
Alas, you lack the ability to
detect the plank in your own
eyes.

20. Hypocrites, that is exactly ‫( ﺇﺳﺘﺨﺮﺟﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻐﺜﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻴﻮﻧﻜﻢ ﺃﻭﻻ‬٢٠


who you are. First, remove the
plank from your own eyes, then ‫ﻓﻴﺼﺒﺢ ﺑﺼﺮﻛﻢ ﺣﺪﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﰒ ﲣﺮﺟﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﰱ ﺃﻋﲔ‬
your eyesight will become
sharp enough to remove the .‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺬﻯ ﺃﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ‬
speck from other people's eyes.

21. You stated, "We have ‫" ﻭﺁﺗﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ ﺍﻻﳒﻴﻞ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻫﺪﻯ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٢١
given the Gospel to Jesus; ."‫ﻭﻧﻮﺭ ﻭﻣﻮﻋﻈﺔ ﻟﻠﻤﺘﻘﲔ‬
therein is guidance, light and a
message to the godly."

22. Again you affirmed, "We ‫" ﺁﻣﻨـﺎ ﺑﺎﷲ ﻭﺑـﻤﺎ ﺃﻭﺗـﻰ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘـﻢ‬٢٢
have trusted God and whatever
Jesus was given from His ":‫ﻋﻴﺴـﻰ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺑـﻪ " ﰒ ﺗﻠـﻮﰎ ﻣﻨﻜـﺮﻳﻦ‬
Lord." But then you abrogated it
by proclaiming, "Whosoever ‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺘﺒـﻊ ﻏﲑ ﻣﻠﺘـﻨﺎ ﺩﻳﻨـﹰﺎ ﻓﻠﻦ ﻳﻘـﺒﻞ‬
desires any other religion .‫ﻣﻨﻪ" ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘـﲔ‬
except ours, it will not be
accepted from him." Such
declarations emanate only from
confirmed hypocrites.
23. How can we ever ‫( ﻓﺄﱏ ﻧﻘﺮ ﻣﻠـﺔ ﺗﻌﺎﺭﺽ ﺩﻳـﻦ ﺍﳊـﻖ‬٢٣
establish any other religion
which opposes the True ‫ﻭﺃﱏ ﻧﻨﺴـﺦ ﻗﻮﻟﻨـﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒـﻴﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ‬
Religion? How can we ever
abrogate Our revelation ‫ﻭﺃﱏ ﻧﺮﺳـﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻳﺪﻋﻮ ﻟﻠﻜﻔـﺮ ﻭﻳﻀـﻞ‬
through The True Gospel? How ‫ﺍﻟﻨـﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ ﻫﺪﻳﻨـﺎﻫﻢ ﺍﱃ ﺍﻹﳝـﺎﻥ‬
can We send a messenger who
invites people to godlessness ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ؟‬
and deceives people after We
have led them to the True Faith
and the Right Religion?

24. There are no scriptures in ‫( ﻓﻤـﺎ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻛﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻠـﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺑﻌﺪ‬٢٤


history to compare with Ours in ‫ﺗﱰﻳﻠـﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺴﺘـﱰﻝ ﻭﻻ ﺑﻌـﺪ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
clarity. There is no inspiration
superior to Ours in divine purity. .‫ﻣﻦ ﺩﻳﻦ ﻗﻮﱘ ﺍﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺗﺒﻌﺜﻮﻥ‬
And there is no parallel to this
True Religion in its entirety for it
will endure even to the final
day, the Day of Resurrection.

25. O, you who have been ‫(ﻳﺎ ﺍﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻮ ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﲟﺎ‬٢٥
misled yet, still claim to be ‫ﻗﻠﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻫﺘﺪﻳﺘﻢ ﻬﺑﺪﻳﻪ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻨﺮﰎ‬
counted among Our
worshipers: had you trusted in ‫ﺑﻨﻮﺭﻩ ﻭﺍﺗﻌﻈﺘﻢ ﲟﻮﻋﻈﺘﻪ ﻟﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
what We declared in The True
Gospel, guided by its criteria, .‫ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﲔ‬
illuminated by its light and lived
by its instructions, you would
have been among Our most
outstanding servants.
26. But Satan has led too
many of you astray across ‫ﻼ ﻛﺜﲑﹰﺍ‬
‫( ﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺃﺿﻞ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﺟﺒ ﹰ‬٢٦
numer-ous generations. Is it not ‫ﺃﻓﻠﻢ ﺗﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﺗﻌﻘﻠﻮﻥ ؟‬
time for you to understand
these facts?

27. Therefore, repent from ‫( ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻨﲑﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﺭﺟﻌﻮﺍ‬٢٧


your wanderings. Believe in Our
revelation and discover the .‫ﺍﱃ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ﻭﺍﻟﺼﺮﺍﻁ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
divine illumination through The
True Furqan. Return to the True
Religion and the right pathway
and you will be welcomed
lovingly.

THE CRUCIFIXION (Surat AI ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺼﻠﺐ‬٩
Salb)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who have gone ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١


astray, yet still claim to be
among Our believing ‫ﺟﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻳﺒـﲔ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻛﺜﲑﹰﺍ ﳑﺎ‬
worshipers: The True Furqan ‫ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﲡﻬﻠﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﳑﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ‬
has come to you to explain a
considerable amount of .‫ﺗﻜﺘﻤﻮﻥ‬
knowledge which was unknown
to you, concerning The True
Gospel, along with what you
have kept concealed in your
souls.

‫( ﺳﺮﺍﺝ ﻣﻨﲑ ﳜﺮﺝ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﺇﱃ‬٢


2. It is a shining lamp that
brings people out from ‫ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻓﻼ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺎﺀﻧﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺑﺸﲑ ﻭﻻ ﻧﺬﻳﺮ‬
darkness into the light. So, do .‫ﻓﻘﺪ ﺟﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺑﺸﲑ ﻭﻧﺬﻳﺮ ﻭﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﲡﺤﺪﻭﻥ‬
not complain that We have not
sent you an evangelist and a
prophet. An evangelist, who is
also a mighty prophet, has
been sent unto you. Alas, you
are ungrateful.

3. Theological issues seemed ‫( ﻗﺼﺮﺕ ﺃﻓﻬﺎﻣﻜﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺇﺩﺭﺍﻙ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺣﺎﻧﻴﺎﺕ‬٣


unfathomable to your limited ‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻓﺎﺳﺘﺨﺮﰎ ﺍﻷﺭﺿﻴﺎﺕ ﻭﻧﺒﺬﰎ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﻭﻳﺎﺕ ﺟﻬ ﹰ‬
understanding. Subsequently,
you opted for the earthly issues ‫ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻓﻌﺸﺘﻢ ﻛﺎﻷﻧﻐﺎﻡ ﻳﺴﻮﻃﻜﻢ ﻬﻧﻢ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ‬
and rejected the heavenly ones
because of your own naivete. .‫ﻭﻓﻄﺮﺓ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ‬
Consequently, you behaved
much
. like some creatures who are
controlled by the urge of their
basic instincts and not by
reason or logic.

4. We have incarnated Our ‫( ﻭﺟﺴـﺪﻧﺎ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨـﺎ ﺑﺸـﺮﹰﺍ ﺳـﻮﻳﺎ‬٤


Word into a perfect human .‫ﻭﺑﻠﻐﻨﺎ ﺳﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓـﺔ ﺑﻼﻏـﹰﺎ ﻣﺒﻴـﻨﹰﺎ‬
being-Jesus, the Messiah.
Additionally, we have ‫ﻭﺃﺭﺳـﻠﻨﺎ ﻧﻮﺭﻧـﺎ ﻫـﺪﻯ ﻟﻠﻀـﺎﻟﲔ‬
proclaimed Our criteria to all of
mankind as clear divine
revelation. We have also sent
Him forth as Our Light to guide
the lost. as Our Mercy for the ‫ﻭﺭﲪﺘـﻨﺎ ﻣﻨـﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﺘﺎﺋﻬـﲔ ﻭﺳﻼﻣـﻨﺎ ﻣﻠﺠﺄ‬
suffering humanity, and as Our .‫ﻟﻠﺨﺎﺋﻔﲔ‬
Peace to Shelter the
oppressed.

.‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﳓﻦ ﺭﻭﺡ ﻭﺣﻖ ﻭﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺇﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ‬٥


5. Weare for surety spirit,
truth, love, mercy. faith and ‫ﻓﺒﺎﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﻭﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻠﻴﻘﻨﺖ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﺗﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﺑﺎﶈﺒﺔ‬
peace. Therefore, the
committed must worship in ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻓﻠﻴﺘﻌﺒﺪ ﺍﳌﺘﻌﺒﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺑﺎﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬
spirit and in truth. The .‫ﻓﻠﻴﺘﻨﺎﻓﺲ ﺍﳌﺘﻨﺎﻓﺴﻮﻥ‬
community of the be-lievers
must worship in Jove and
compassion. The contenders
must compete in faith and
peace.

6. As a result you should ‫ ﺇﳕﺎ‬.‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﻐﺎﻟـﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀـﻼﻝ‬٦


never be proud of your unbelief ‫ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ ﻛﻠﻤـﺔ ﺭﻭﺣﻨـﺎ ﻓﺂﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﺑـﻨﺎ‬
and skepticism. The Messiah is
in fact the Word of Our Spirit, ‫ ﻓﻤـﺎ ﳓﻦ ﺑﺜﻼﺛﺔ‬.‫ﻭﺑﻜﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﺮﻭﺣـﻨﺎ‬
thus, trust in Us, Our Word and
Our Spirit. For We are not three ‫ﺍﻧﺘﻬـﻮﺍ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺇﳕﺎ ﳓـﻦ ﺇﻟﻪ ﻭﺍﺣـﺪ‬
separate entities. Cease from .‫ﻓﺮﺩ ﻭﺗﺮ ﻭﻻ ﺷﺮﻳـﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
such deceptive
pronouncements because it is
more profitable for you.
Essentially, We are the One
and only True God who has no
partner in the universe.
7. You have falsely accused
Our believing worshipers with ‫( ﻭﺭﻣﻴﺘﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺑﺎﻟﺸﺮﻙ ﻬﺑﺘﺎﹰﻭﻣﺎ‬٧
adding partners to Us, when in ‫ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺍﳌﺮﺿﻰ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻫﻢ‬
fact they have never added any
partner to Our person. Instead, ‫ﺍﳌﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﳌﻐﻀﻮﺏ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬
they are truly Our favored and
rightly-guided people. But you . ‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﻮﻥ‬
are the ones upon whom Our
wrath is heaped and are the
misled, indeed!

‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛـﺎﻥ ﻟﺒﺸﺮ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺼـﻠﺐ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻥ‬٨


8. No human instrumentality
has the power to crucify Our ‫ﻳﻘﺘـﻞ ﺭﻭﺣـﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺻﻠﺒـﻮﻩ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻗﺘﻠـﻮﻩ‬
Word and kill Our Spirit. They
did not crucify Jesus nor kill ‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﻗﺼﺮﺕ ﺃﻓﻬﺎﻣﻜـﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺇﺩﺭﺍﻙ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
Him as Our Spirit. Your . ‫ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ ﺗﻔﻬﻤﻮﻥ‬
comprehen-sion lacks the
understanding of this colossal
Truth. Therefore, you do not
grasp it at all.

9. He was made into your ‫( ﻭﺷﺒـﻪ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﻓﺄﺧﺘﻠﻔﺘـﻢ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻭﻣـﺎ ﻟﻜﻢ‬٩
likeness; thus, your opinions
differed concerning Him ‫ﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻠـﻢ ﺇﻻ ﺇﺗﺒـﺎﻉ ﺍﻟﻈـﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﺇﻥ‬
because you have no testimony . ‫ﺃﻧﺘـﻢ ﺇﻻ ﲣﺮﺻـﻮﻥ‬
of an eyewitness concerning
the event which took place on
Calvary in Jerusalem six
centuries before your document
surfaced. All you know is
hearsay, ending in personal
assumptions.
10. Assuredly, they did crucify ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺻﻠﺒﻮﺍ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ ﺍﺑﻦ ﻣﺮﱘ‬١٠
Jesus the Messiah, the physical
son of Mary, as a physical and . ‫ﺟﺴﺪﹰﺍ ﺑﺸﺮﹰﺍ ﺳﻮﻳﹰﺎ ﻭﻗﺘﻠﻮﻩ ﻳﻘﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
real human being, and killed
Him for certain as a substitute
for sinful humanity.

11. Human spirits are created ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺍﻷﺭﻭﺍﺡ ﺇﻻ ﻣﻦ ﻟﺪﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﻌﺎﺩ‬١١
by Us and they eventually
return to Us. As for the earthly ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺍﻷﺟﺴﺎﺩ ﺇﻻ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻭﺍﻟﻴﻬﺎ ﻣﺮﺟﻌﻬﺎ‬
bodies, they are from dust and
return to dust except the body ‫ﺧﻼ ﺟﺴﺪ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﺻﻌﺪ ﺍﱃ‬
of Our Word, the Messiah, who ‫ ﻭﺑﻪ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻔﺪﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﳋﻼﺹ‬،‫ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﻭﺳﻴﻌﻮﺩ‬
ascended into Heaven and
someday shall return. For it is . ‫ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
through Him salvation and
redemption are offered to the
entire world.

12. We have granted you


through Him a life of grace. But ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻭﻫﺒﻨﺎﻛـﻢ ﺣﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴـﻢ ﻓﺘﺨـﲑﰎ‬١٢
you opted for a life of disgrace.
Oppress you? We certainly ‫ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﺤـﻴﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻇﻠﻤـﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﻭﻟـﻜﻦ‬
have not! You oppressed
yourselves whenever you .‫ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﺗﻈﻠﻤـﻮﻥ‬
rejected Our offer of salvation
through the Messiah.

13. Because We love the


world of humans so very much,
We sacrificed Our One and only
Word to save them and show ‫( ﻭﺃﺣﺒﺒﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ ﻓﺒﺬﻟﻨﺎ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻮﺣﻴﺪ‬١٣
compassion upon anyone who ‫ ﻭﳒﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ‬. ‫ﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻟﻠﺘﺎﺋﺒﲔ‬
would repent. Through Jesus
We save anyone who believes .‫ﺍﻟﺘﻬﻠﻜﺔ ﻭﺃﺳﻜﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ‬
in Him from damnation in Hell
to eternal life in heaven where
mansions of glory await them.

14 . We want to emphasize ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠـﻨﺎ ﻛﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻟﻴـﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬١٤


forcefully that Our purpose for ‫ﺑﻞ ﻟﻴﺨﻠـﺺ ﺍﳍﺎﻟﻜـﲔ ﻭﻳﻬﻴـﻬﻢ ﺍﳊـﻴﺎﺓ‬
incarnating Our Word is not to
condemn the lost, but to save .‫ﺍﻷﺑـﺪﻳﺔ ﻭﻳﻘﻴـﻬﻢ ﻋـﺬﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
them. Furthermore, We want to
offer every repentant sinner life
eternal through faith in Jesus
and by Our abundant grace.
Thus no one has to end up in
the torments of Hell unless he
blatantly rejects this free gift of
love through Messiah Jesus.

THE SPIRIT (Surat AI Rooh)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ‬١٠

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have gone ‫ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺳﺌﻞ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
astray, yet still claim to be
counted among Our : ‫ﺃﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﻗﺎﻝ‬
worshipers: if anyone of you is
questioned concerning the ‫ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﻭﺗﻴـﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ‬." ‫" ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﺮ ﺭﰉ‬
Spirit he responds, "The Spirit
is my Lord's concern." You ‫ﻼ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺳﺄﻟﺘـﻢ ﺃﻫﻞ‬
‫ﺍﻟﻌﻠـﻢ ﻛﺜـﲑﹰﺍ ﺃﻭ ﻗﻠﻴـ ﹰ‬
have thus implied that your ‫ﺍﻟﺬﻛﺮ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺑﺸـﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﻟـﺮﻭﺡ ﻗﺒﻞ‬
knowledge is neither much nor
little. Why did you not inquire of . ‫ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻴﺔ ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ ﲟﺌﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﺴﻨﲔ‬
the People of The Book who
proclaimed much concerning
the Spirit hundreds of years
prior to your ill-informed
religion?

2. If you were martyred for the ‫( ﻭﺍﺫﺍ ﺍﺳﺘﺸﻬﺪﰎ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺟﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻓﻘﺪ‬٢
sake of a paradise of adultery,
even the Roman infidels ‫ﻧﻌﻢ ﻛﻔﺮﺓ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﻡ ﻓﺒﻠﻜﻢ ﲜﻨﺔ ﲡﺮﻯ ﻣﻦ ﲢﺘﻬﺎ‬
enjoyed a paradise under which
rivers did flow. They also were ‫ﺍﻷﻬﻧﺎﺭ ﻳﻠﺒﺴﻮﻥ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺛﻴﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺧﻀﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﲪﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﺘﻘﺎﺑﻠﲔ‬
wearing green and red attire, ‫ﻭﻣﺘﻜﺌﲔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻷﺭﺍﺋﻚ ﻳﻄﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻟﺪﺍﻥ‬
facing each other while
reclining on couches with boys ‫ﻭﻧﺴﺎﺀ ﲞﻤﻮﺭ ﻭﳊﻢ ﻃﲑ ﻭﳑﺎ ﻳﺸﺘﻬﻮﻥ ﻭﻫﻢ‬
and maidens passing to them
wine, flesh of cattle and birds . ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
and whatever else they desired,
even though they were pagans.

3. In fact, their paradise


surpassed yours, which you
gladly sacrificed your lives for ‫( ﻭﺑﺰﺕ ﺟﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﺟﻨﺘﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﱴ ﺍﺳﺘﺸﻬﺪﰎ ﰱ‬٣
as martyrs, coveting what has
been promised to you in ‫ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻬﺎ ﻓﺮﺣﲔ ﻃﻤﻌﹰﺎ ﲟﺎ ﻭﻋﺪﰎ ﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺯﱏ‬
immorality and promiscuity. . ‫ﻭﻓﺠﻮﺭ‬
4. You drench yourselves in
the dust, seeking cleansing ‫( ﺗﺘﻤﺮﻏﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺮﻏﺎﻡ ﺗﺒﺘﻐﻮﻥ ﻃﻬﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﻨﺠﺴﻜﻢ‬٤
from your impurities. John the ‫ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ) ﳛﻲ ( ﻳﻄﻬﺮ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﲟﺎﺀ ﺍﻷﺭﺩﻥ‬
Baptist was offering people
cleansing through the pure .‫ﺍﻟﻄﻬﻮﺭ ﻗﺒﻞ ﺿﻼﻝ ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ ﺑﻌﺪﺓ ﻗﺮﻭﻥ‬
waters of the Jordan centuries
prior to the appearance of your
deceptive sect.

5. What you counterfeited in ‫( ﻭﻏﺮﻛﻢ ﰱ ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﻇﻨﻨﺘﻢ‬٥


your religion deceived you into ‫ﺑﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ‬
thinking that you really have
revelation concerning true .‫ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻇﻦ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ‬
reli-gion and the creation. Truth
is, such a conclusion is the
outcome of unenlightened
people.

6. We proclaimed the Good ‫(ﻭﺑﺸـﺮﻧﺎ ﲟﻠﻜـﻮﺕ ﺍﻟﺴﻤـﺎﻭﺍﺕ ﻭﺑﺴﻨﺔ‬٦


News of the Kingdom of
Heaven and the decree of love ‫ﺍﳌـﺤﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻗﺒﻞ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺴﺘﻨـﻮﺍ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ‬
and peace. We announced this
before you implemented the ‫ﺍﻟﻐـﺎﺏ ﻭﺗﻐﺘﺎﻟـﻮﺍ ﺍﳌـﺤﺒﺔ ﺑﺴﻴـﻒ‬
decree of the jungles and ‫ﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﻭﺗﻄﻌﻨﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﲞﻨﺠـﺮ ﺍﻟﻐـﺪﺭ‬
abducted love by the sword of
hate and stabbed peace with ‫ﻭﺍﻹﻧﺘﻘـﺎﻡ ﻭﲢﻠﻠـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟـﺰﱏ ﻟﻠﻤﺠﺮﻣﲔ‬
the dagger of betrayal and
revenge; yes, even before you . ‫ﺍﳌﺴﺎﻓﺤـﲔ‬
sanctioned adultery for the
murdering degenerates!
7. Unmistakably, We are the ‫( ﻓﻨﺤـﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺗﻘـﺮﺏ ﻣﻨﺎ‬٧
True Spirit and whosoever
wants to approach Us must do ‫ﻓﺒﺎﻟـﺮﻭﺡ ﻭﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻠﻴﺘـﺮﻗﺐ ﻭﺇﻻ ﻓﻬـﻮ‬
so in spirit and in truth.
Otherwise, a person coming by . ‫ﻟﻠﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﱃ ﲪﻴﻢ‬
any other way is a strong
supporter of Satan's kingdom.

The True Furqan (Surat AI
Furqan AI Haqq)

In the Name of the Father, the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. This is The True Furqan


‫( ﻓﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﻻ ﺭﻳـﺐ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻳﻬـﺪﻯ ﻟﻠﱴ‬١
and genuine in every detail. It is ‫ﻫـﻰ ﺃﻗـﻮﻡ ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌـﻮﻩ ﻭﺍﺗﻘـﻮﺍ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ‬
guidance to a loftier conduct.
Therefore carry out its precepts . ‫ﺗﺮﲪﻮﻥ‬
faithfully; perchance He may
have mercy upon you.

2. It is in fact the Light of


Truth, revealing the True Way
‫( ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻧﻮﺭ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻳﻬﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٢
to those who have gone astray. . ‫ﻭﻳﻔﻀﺢ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﻜﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻈﺎﳌﻮﻥ‬
It unmasks dishonesty and
what the deceivers never
display.
3. We have inspired this True ‫( ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻟﻨﻈﻬﺮﻩ‬٣
Furqan with integrity, as a
validation of the True Religion, . ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻛﻠﻪ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﺮﻩ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
to supersede any so-called
religiosity, even if infidels refuse
to behold such vision.

4. Subsequently, We have ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ ﻓﺒﻠﻐﻪ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﻣﺒﲔ‬٤


inspired it as Light in this
servant's own heart. He in turn . ‫ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻟﻪ ﳊﺎﻓﻈﻮﻥ‬
recorded it with eloquence so
beaming and bright. We are the
protectors of The True Furqan
from the very start.

5. Pagans have polluted the ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓـﺮﻳﻦ ﺃﻓﺴـﺪﻭﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﺑﻌﺪ‬٥


earth after We had purified it.
They are arrogant and proud ‫ﺇﺻﻼﺣـﻬﺎ ﻳﺘﻜﱪﻭﻥ ﺑﻐـﲑ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻭﺇﻥ‬
for no reason at all. Whenever
they discover a divine sign they ‫ﻳـﺮﻭﺍ ﻛﻞ ﺁﻳﺔ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻨـﻮﻥ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻳﺮﻭﺍ‬
reject it. Even when the correct ‫ﻼ ﺫﻟﻚ‬
‫ﺳﺒـﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺮﺷـﺪ ﻻ ﻳﺘﺨـﺬﻭﻩ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
path is found they refuse to
walk in it. But whenever the ‫ﺃﻬﻧـﻢ ﻛﺬﺑـﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳـﺎﺗﻨـﺎ ﻭﻛﺎﻧـﻮﺍ ﻋﻨﻬـﺎ‬
counterfeit path is offered they
immediately follow it! The . ‫ﻏﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
reason behind their action is
that they are accusing Our
scriptures of being deceptive. In
addition, they have determined
to ignore Our Divine Revelation
and consider it fiction.
6. Whenever The True :‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﺗﺘﻠﻰ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬٦
Furqanic verses are recited to
them they state, "We have ‫" ﻗﺪ ﲰﻌﻨﺎ ﻟﻮ ﻧﺸﺎﺀ ﻟﻘﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﺜﻞ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ‬
heard such before, if we desire ".‫ﺃﺳﺎﻃﲑ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﲔ‬
we can recite similar verses~
they are no more than tales of
the ancients. "

‫( ﳚﺎﺩﻟﻮﻥ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﺎ ﺗﺒﲔ ﺍﻟﺮﺷﺪ ﻣﻦ‬٧


7. They dispute it even after
the difference between wisdom ‫ﺍﻟﻐﻰ ﻳﺴﻮﻗﻬﻢ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺗﺴﺎﻕ ﺍﻷﻧﻐﺎﻡ ﺇﱃ‬
and folly has been clearly
displayed. Ignorance drives . ‫ﺍﻟﺬﺑﺢ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻳﻨﻈﺮﻭﻥ‬
them as cattle are driven to the
slaughter-with their eyes wide
open.

‫( ﺩﻋﻮﺓ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺒﻐﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻪ ﻟﻦ‬٨


8. This is an invitation to
follow the unassailable Truth. ‫ﻳﺒﻠﻐﻮﺍ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﺇﻻ ﻛﺒﺴﺎﻁ ﻛﻔﻴﺔ ﺇﱃ ﻣﺎﺀ ﺟﺐ‬
Those who seek a substitute
will never attain heaven. Just as ‫ﻟﻴﺒﻠﻎ ﻓﺎﻩ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻮ ﺑﺒﺎﻟﻐﻪ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺒﻠﻎ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ‬
one who seeks to quench his . ‫ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﺍﻟﺒﻌﻴﺪ‬
thirst with his hands holding
water from the well. He cannot
do it because the water runs off
quickly. Thus, the pagans will
not attain anything but get
hopelessly lost.

9. Even if there were ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﺃﻥ ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻧﺎﺳﲑﺕ ﺑﻪ ﺍﳉﺒﺎﻝ ﺃﻭ ﻗﻄﻌﺖ‬٩


another True Furqan which had
fashioned the mountains or had
divided the earth, or could
communicate with the dead,
this True Furqan is mightier and ‫ﺑﻪ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﺃﻭ ﻛﻠﻢ ﺑﻪ ﺍﳌﻮﺗﻰ ﻟﻜﺎﻥ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬
incomparable. For Our ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﻗﻮﻯ ﻭﺃﻗﻮﻡ ﻓﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻫﻰ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻴﺎ ﻭﻟﻐﻮ‬
disclosure is the ultimate
proclamation; the Satanic .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﰱ ﻗﺮﺍﺭ ﺳﺤﻴﻖ‬
pronouncements end up in the
bottomless pit.

‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻧﻜﻢ ﻟﻨﺒﲔ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ‬١٠


10. We have conveyed The
True Furqan in your own ‫ﺍﺧﺘﻠﻔﺘﻢ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻭﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﺇﻥ‬
language to unveil to you how . ‫ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
you have been misled. It will be
the perfect guidance and the
ultimate mercy if you will
believe and place your trust in
its Truth, Messiah Jesus.

11. As for those who continue ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻧﺜﺒﺘﻬﻢ ﰱ‬١١
to believe firmly in The True ‫ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬
Furqan, We will establish them
in this world as well as the . ‫ﻓﻤﺄﻭﺍﻫﻢ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﻭﺑﺌﺲ ﺍﳌﺼﲑ‬
world to come. But for those
who refuse to believe, Hell itself
and a very miserable end is
their eternal destination.

12. O, you of Our followers ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺗﻠﻮﰎ‬١٢
who continue to believe firmly:
each time you recite The True ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﺎﺑﺪﺃﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﲰﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﻧﺘﻬﻮﺍ‬
Furqan, begin with Our name
and conclude by expressing
gratitude. But each time you
hear the speech of the infidels, ‫ﺑﺸﺮﻛﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﺇﻥ ﲰﻌﺘﻢ ﻟﻐﻮ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻓﺎﺳﺘﻌﻴﺬﻭﺍ‬
seek refuge in Us from Satan,
the wicked one. And do not wait ‫ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻴﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻨﺼﺘﻮﺍ ﻭﺗﻮﻟﻮﺍ‬
to hear what is being said, run
away from him with grave . ‫ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻣﻌﺮﺿﻮﻥ‬
dread.

13. This True Furqan is ‫( ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﺃﻧﺰﻟـﻨﺎﻩ ﻧـﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﺭﲪـﺔ‬١٣


what We have sent down as
Light and Mercy to the world. ‫ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌـﲔ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺰﻳﺪ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﻻ‬
The reaction of the skeptics is
to rebuff it because Satan has ‫ﻧﻔـﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﺇﺫ ﺟﻌـﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑـﻢ‬
fixed bridles on their hearts in ‫ﺃﻛﻨـﺔ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻔﻘﻬـﻮﻩ ﻭﰱ ﺁﺫﺍﻬﻧـﻢ ﻭﻗـﺮﹰﺍ‬
order that they may not
understand it. He also plugged ‫ﻭﻳﺰﻳﺪ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻠـﻪ‬
their ears so they cannot hear.
Nevertheless, the ones who ‫ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﺇﳝـﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻓـﻮﻕ ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧـﻢ ﻓﻬـﻢ ﻻ‬
trusted The True Gospel before .‫ﻳﻌﺜﺮﻭﻥ‬
it, gain more enlightenment and
faith in addition to their exciting
faith. Thus, they will not
stumble on their pathway as
they diligently follow Our rightly-
guided way.

14. Furthermore, We did ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻣﻨﺠﻤﹰﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﳍﻮﻯ ﺑﻞ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ‬١٤


not convey The True Furqan
according to somebody's whim. ‫ﺟُﻤﻠﺔ ﻟﻨُﺜﺒﺖ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﻧﺆﻟﻒ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ‬
Rather, We sent it down in its
entirety to illuminate the hearts ‫ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻫﻢ ﰱ ﺷﻚ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﰱ‬
of those who believe, and to . ‫ﺿﻼﻝ ﻣﺮﻳﺐ‬
remove the doubts from the
hearts of those who disbelieve.
Rejecting the authenticity of
The True Gospel placed them
in chaotic confusion.

‫( ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﻗﺪﺳﻰ ﻳﻘﺺ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺃﺻﺪﻕ‬١٥


15. True This is the genuine
Furqan, which you desperately ‫ﺍﻟﻘﺼﺺ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻰ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻠﻪ ﻣﻦ‬
need, and is sanctified indeed.
Because of its inspiration it . ‫ﺍﻟﻐﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
recounts to you some of the
most illustrative parables. This
is a fact despite your prior
negli-gence of it.

16. There is admonition ‫( ﻓﻴﻪ ﻋﱪﺓ ﻷ ﻭﱃ ﺍﻷﻟﺒﺎﺏ ﻭﻓﻴﻪ ﺗﻔﺼﻴﻞ‬١٦


and wisdom for the rational
people in this True Furqan. . ‫ﻛﻞ ﺷﻰﺀ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﻳﻌﻘﻠﻮﻥ‬
Comprehensible explanation to
everything of divine nature is
included in it for all people of
logical thinking.

17. We have analyzed the ‫( ﻭﻋﺠﻤﻨﺎ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻭﻣﺰﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻢ‬١٧


entire counterfeit scriptures; we
have distinguished and ‫ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ ﻓﺎﻟﻄﻴﺒﺎﺕ ﻟﻠﻄﻴﲔ‬
separated the authentic from . ‫ﻭﺍﳋﺒﻴﺜﺎﺕ ﻟﻠﺨﺒﻴﻴﺜﲔ‬
the counterfeit. Thus, the
authentic words belong to the
righteous. But the counter-feit
words must be thrown back to
the unrighteous.
18. We have sent down ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻠﹶﻢ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ‬١٨
The True Furqan with brilliant ‫ﻭﺍﻹﻋﺠﺎﺯ ﺍﳊﻜﻴﻢ ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻧﻮﺭ ﻻ ﻳﺄﺗﻴﻪ‬
verses and miraculous
eloquence. It is a beacon of . ‫ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻘﺮﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻟﻪ ﳊﺎﻓﻈﻮﻥ‬
light, containing no falsehood.
No blasphemy can ever assail it
because Weare its Guardian.

19. It is a bearer of Good ‫( ﺑﺸﲑ ﻭﻧﺬﻳﺮ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﻭﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ‬١٩


News and a warning to people . ‫ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
everywhere. Moreover, it is the
right guidance and mercy to the
entire world of humanity.

20. Consequently, whoso- ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﻛﻔﺮ ﺑﻪ ﺃﻭ ﲟﺎ ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬٢٠


ever rejects it, or The True
Gospel, which was delivered . ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﺳﺘﻜﱪ ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳍﺎﻟﻜﲔ‬
into the hands of mankind,
ends up becoming an arrogant
person who will perish with the
ungodly.

21. Each time the authentic :‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﺗﺘﻠﻰ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬٢١
scripture is recited before the
deceivers, they respond, "This ‫" ﻫﺬﺍ ﻳﺼﺪﻧﺎ ﻋﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻳﺆﻣﻦ ﺑﻪ ﺁﺑﺎﺅﻧﺎ ﻭﻋﻤﺎ‬
opposes what our forefathers . "‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻌﺒﺪﻭﻥ‬
used to believe and what they
worshiped!"
22. Most of these people ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺘﺒﻊ ﺃﻛﺜﺮﻫﻢ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻻ‬٢٢
follow opinions and ‫ﻳﻐﲎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﺃﺻﺤﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻫﻢ‬
speculations. The opinions of
mankind can never be a . ‫ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺧﺎﻟﺪﻭﻥ‬
substitute for Our Truth. Such
people are destined to hellfire
to dwell in it forever.

23. These people even ‫( ﻭﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﱂ ﳛﻴﻄﻮﺍ ﺑﻌﻤﻠﻪ ﻭﳌﺎ ﻳﺄﻬﺗﻢ‬٢٣


rejected the Truth because it ‫ ﻭﻣﻨﻬﻢ‬. " ‫ " ﺁﻣﻨﺎ ﺑﻪ‬:‫ﺗﺄﻭﻳﻠﻪ ﻭﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺎﻝ‬
was incomprehensible to them.
Their excuse was, no one was . ‫ﻣﻦ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻭﳓﻦ ﺃﻋﻠﻢ ﺑﺎﳌﻔﺴﺪﻳﻦ‬
capable of simplifying it for
them. Some ventured to say,
"We do believe . it." Others
denied it. Neverthe-less, We
can identify the corrupters
easily.

24. The deceivers, from ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺎﻕ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻗﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬٢٤


among Our misguided servants,
have perverted Our Scriptures. ‫ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻳﺸﻬﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺃﻟﺒﺴﻮﺍ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ‬
They even confess to that fact. .‫ﻭﻛﺘﻤﻮﺍ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
Moreover, they disguised
falsehood as truth and
shrouded Truth with secrecy. It
was all by design!

25. Whenever it is request-


ed of the infidels, who still claim ‫( ﻭﺍﺫﺍ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢٥
they belong to Our worshipers,
"What did your Lord send down ‫" ﺃﺳﺎﻃﲑ‬:‫ ﻣﺎﺫﺍ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﺭﺑﻜﻢ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬: ‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬
in The True Furqan?" They
promptly respond, "He sent ‫ﺍﻷﻭﻟﲔ " ﻭﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
down tales of the ancients." But
Our upright servant's reply, ‫" ﺧﲑﺍ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺣﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﰱ ﻫﺬﻩ‬:‫ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬.‫ﺍﻟﺼﻠﺤﲔ‬
"There is a promise of blessing ‫ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﺣﺴﻨﺔ ﻭﺩﺍﺭ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﺧﲑ ﻭﻟﻨﻌﻢ ﺩﺍﺭ‬
to those who live godly lives in
this world as well as a blessing ."‫ﺍﳌﺘﻘﲔ‬
in the world to come. O, what
glorious heavenly home awaits
the righteous. "

26. At any rate, The True ‫( ﻭﺟﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﳌﺎ ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ‬٢٦
Furqan came to verify what ‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻨﺒﺬﻭﻩ ﻭﺭﺍﺀ ﻇﻬﻮﺭﻫﻢ ﻛﺄﻬﻧﻢ‬
humankind already possessed
through The True Gospel. .‫ﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
Surprisingly, they hid it behind
their backs as if they had no
better sense.

27. Subsequently, they ‫( ﻭﺍﺗﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻳﺘﻠﻮ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﳌﺎﺭﻗﻮﻥ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻬﻧﻢ‬٢٧


followed whatever the ‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻭﻳﺘﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻀﺮﻫﻢ ﻭﻻ‬
apostates recited to them,
teaching them blasphemy and ‫ﻳﻨﻔﻌﻬﻢ ﻭﻟﺒﺌﺲ ﻣﺎ ﺍﺷﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻭﻟﺒﺌﺲ ﻣﺎ‬
rebellion. So they were learning
what was harmful to .‫ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
themselves rather than what
was beneficial. 0, what
miserable merchandize did they
exchange for their souls!
Catastrophe awaits their labors.

THE TRIUNE GOD (Surat AI
Thalooth)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, .
the Word, the Holy Spirit, the ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
One and only True God

1. O, you of Our worshipers ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﺩﻋﻮﻧﺎ ﻷﻭ‬١


who have gone astray and ‫ﺍﺩﻋﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﲪﺎﻥ ﺃﻭ ﺍﺩﻋﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﺣﻴﻢ ﺃﻳﺎﻣﺎ ﺗﺪﻋﻮﻧﻨﺎ‬
have added partners to Us: call
upon Us or call upon the ‫ﻓﻠﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﺘﺠﻠﻴﺎﺕ ﺍﳊﺴﲎ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻣﺜﻠﺜﺔ ﻣﻮﺣﺪﺓ ﻓﺮﺩﹰﺍ‬
Merciful One or yet call upon
the most Beneficent, by ‫ﻭﺗﺮﹰﺍ ﻓﺄﱏ ﺗﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ ؟‬
whatever name you may call
Us. Unto Us are the excellent
names which are triune in unity,
united in Trinity. So why would
you become apostates, and not
believe this declaration?

2. We have not brought forth ‫( ﻓﻤﺎ ﺍﲣﺬﻧﺎ ﻭﻟﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﻟﻨﺎ ﺻﺎﺣﺒﺔ‬٢
a son, neither did We acquire a ‫ﻭﻣﺎﻟﻨﺎ ﺷﺮﻳﻚ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
consort, nor did We ever have a
companion. Only the apostates .‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
conjecture such opinions
concern-ing the religion of Our
believing worshipers.

3. Our believing worshipers ‫( ﻭﺷﻬﺪ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﲡﻠﻴﻨﺎ‬٣


testified that We have appeared
to them in manifestations
demon- strating three persons. ‫ﳍﻢ ﲟﻈﺎﻫﺮ ﺛﻼﺛﺔ ﺍﻻ ﺇﻥ ﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﻈﺎﻫﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺠﻠﻴﺎﺕ‬
However, unto Us are the .‫ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
phenomenal manifestations as
well as the fantastic
transfigurations.

4. Furthermore, they ‫( ﻭﺍﲣﺬﻭﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻴﻤﺎﻥ ﺃﺑﹰﺎ ﺃﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﺷﻬﺪﻭﻧﺎ ﺍﺑﻨﹰﺎ‬٤


accept-ed Us by faith as "Abba,
Father" and beheld Us as the ‫ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻇﻠﻤﻮﺍ‬. ‫ﺭﲪﺎﻧﺎ ﻭﻋﺮﻓﻮﻧﺎ ﺭﻭﺣﹰﺎ ﺭﺣﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
"Merciful Son" and .‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﺸﺮﻛﲔ‬
acknowledged Us as the
"Comforting Spirit." Therefore,
they did not malign themselves,
neither did they blaspheme nor
did they add partners to Us.

5. For We are "The Father", ‫( ﻓﻨﺤﻦ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤـﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺛﺎﻟﻮﺙ ﻓﺮﺩ‬٥
"The Son", "The Spirit" as a ‫ﺇﻟﻪ ﻭﺍﺣﺪ ﻻ ﺷﺮﻳﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﻭﺍﺕ‬
Triune God and only One God.
None is beside Us in the .‫ﻭﺍﻷﺭﺿﲔ‬
heavens or the earth.

6. We are the God who is ‫( ﻭﳓﻦ ﺍﷲ ﺍﻟﺮﲪﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺣﻴﻢ ﺛﺎﻟﻮﺙ ﻓﺮﺩ ﺇﻟﻪ‬٦
Most Gracious, Most
Beneficent, the only One God . ‫ﻭﺍﺣﺪ ﻻ ﺷﺮﻳﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
Who has no companion in the
universe.

7. False accusations are the


mere gossip of the apostates
‫( ﺫﻟﻜ ﻗ ﻝ ﺍﳌﺸ ﻛﲔ ﻣ ﻋ ﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٧
from among Our creatures who
have gone astray. Tragically ‫ﺑﺄﻓﻮﺍﻫﻬـﻢ ﻭﻟﻜـﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﺃﻋﻤـﻰ‬
enough, apostasy has blinded ‫ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑـﻢ ﻭﺃﻏﺸـﻰ ﺑﺼﺎﺋﺮﻫـﻢ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻻ‬
their hearts and put a veil over
their eyes resulting in their total .‫ﻳﻔﻘﻬﻮﻥ‬
ignorance concerning these
facts.

8. The ones who have gone


astray from among Our ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀـﻼﻝ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ‬٨
worshipers have also added ‫ﺑﻨﺎ ﺷﺮﻛـﹰﺎ ﻋﻈﻴﻤـﹰﺎ ﻓﺠﻌﻠﻮﻧـﺎ ﺗﺴﻌﺔ‬
companions to Us, a
blasphemous addition. They ‫ﻭﺗﺴﻌﲔ ﺷﺮﻳﻜـﺎ ﺑﺼﻔﺎﺕ ﻣﺘﻀـﺎﺭﺑﺔ ﻭﺃﲰﺎﺀ‬
have given Us ninety-nine
companions with similar names ‫ﻟﻺﻧﺲ ﻭﺍﳉـﺎﻥ ﻳﺪﻋﻮﻧﻨـﺎ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﻣـﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨـﺎ‬
of unwholesome human .‫ﻬﺑﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄـﺎﻥ‬
personalities. We have never
granted permission nor
authority to anyone to use
contradictory titles to describe
Us.

9. For example, they


announced falsely that We are
the Dictator, the Avenger, the
Des-troyer, the Arrogant, the ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻛﺬﺑﹰﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺍﳉﺒﺎﺭ ﺍﳌﻨﺘﻘﻢ‬٩
One who conquers and
humiliates others; that We have ‫ﺍﳌﻬﻠﻚ ﺍﳌﺘﻜﱪ ﺍﳌﺬﻝ ﻭﺇﳕﺎ ﻓﺘﻨﺎ ﺑﻌﻀﹰﺎ ﺑﺒﻌﺾ‬
betrayed each other and We .‫ﻭﺇﳕﺎ ﺃﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻳﻦ‬
are the Greatest of Deceivers.
10. Far be it from Us to be ‫( ﺣﺎﺷﺎ ﻟﻨﺎ ﺃﻥ ﻧﻨﺼﻒ ﺑﺈﻓﻚ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬١٠
described by the lying words of
the apostates. We are Holy, .‫ﻭﻧﺰﻫﻨﺎ ﻋﻤﺎ ﻳﺼﻔﻮﻥ‬
Holy, Holy, and far above their
wildest imaginations.

11. In reality, what they have ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﻄﻘﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳍﻮﻯ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻭﺣﻰ‬١١


enunciated was not the by- .‫ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ‬
product of their imagination, but
was by the powerful influence
of Satan, the wicked one.

12. Surely the lies of apostasy


are conspired by those who do ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﻳﻔﺘﺮﻯ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬١٢
not trust Our revelations.
Consequently, We condemn .‫ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
them as imposters.

13. Their path has utterly


become a lost path in this ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺿﻞ ﺳﻌﻴﻬﻢ ﰱ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﺇﺫ‬١٣
earthly life. They have denied
Our revelations, resulting in the ‫ﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻓﺤﺒﻄﺖ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ ﻓﻼ ﻧﻘﻴﻢ ﳍﻢ‬
rejection of their good works.
Assuredly, We will not grant .‫ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﺎﻣﺔ ﻭﺯﻧﹰﺎ ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
them a standing among the
righteous on the Day of
Judgment.

14. Those who believe, from


among Our followers, publicize ‫( ﻭﺍﺫ ﺷﻬـﺪ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٤
‫ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ ﺍﻟﺜﺎﻟ ﺙ ﺍﳌ ﺣ ﺪ‬
that We are the One and only ‫ ﻓﻘـﺪ‬.‫ﻛﻨﻬـﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺍﻧﻔﺼـﺎﻡ ﻟـﻪ ﻋـﺪﹰﺍ‬
True God, the Triune in unity,
united in Trinity essentially so .‫ﺻﺪﻗـﻮﺍ ﻭﻛﺬﺏ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
without separation or addition.
They, in fact, have spoken the
truth concerning Us, while the
imposters lied.

15. O, you from among Our ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒـﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٥


creatures, who have gone ‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟـﲔ ﺃﻟﻴـﺲ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣـﺪ ﻣﻨﻜـﻢ ﺇﻧﺴـﻴﹰﺎ‬
astray and have added
companions to Us: is it not true ‫ﻓﺮﺩﹰﺍ ﻻ ﺷﺮﻳـﻚ ﻟﻪ ﰱ ﺫﺍﺗـﻪ ﻭﺃﻧـﻪ ﺃﺏ‬
that anyone of you is one
human with no companion in ‫ﻻﺑﻨـﻪ ﻭﺍﺑﻦ ﻷﺑﻴـﻪ ﻭﺭﻭﺡ ﳛﻴﻴـﻪ ﻓﻬـﻮ‬
his essence? Is he not also a ‫ﺛﺎﻟـﻮﺙ ﻓﺮﺩ ﻭﺗـﺮ ﻏﲑ ﻣﻨﻘﺴـﻢ ﻭﻣـﺎ ﻫﻮ‬
father to his son and a son to
his father and a spirit who gives ‫ﺑﺜﻼﺛـﺔ ﻣﻨﻔﺼﻠـﲔ ﺃﻓﻼ ﻧﻘـﺪﺭ ﺃﻥ ﻧﻈﻬـﺮ‬
him life? Therefore, he is a
triune creation indeed, without ‫ﻛﻤﺎ ﺗﻈﻬـﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﻷﺿﻌﻔﻮﻥ ؟‬
division, yet one by himself and
not three separate individuals.
Similarly, we are not three
gods, separate from each other.
Can we not appear as you do
when you are the lesser in
wisdom and power?

16. Tragically enough, Satan


has deafened your ears and ‫( ﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺃﺻﻤﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻋﻤﻰ ﺇﺑﺼﺎﺭﻛﻢ‬١٦
blinded your eyes. Then he
inspired you with blasphemy ‫ﻭﺃﻭﺣﻰ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻟﺘﺠﺎﺩﻟﻮﺍ‬
and rebellion to debate our
trusting followers. They ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬
definitely believe in the Perfect .‫ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
Religion but you yourselves are
the hopelessly lost.
17. Whosoever declares ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺘﺨـﺬ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻭﻟﻴـﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ‬١٧
loyalty to Satan as his
Redeemer, rather than ‫ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺧـﺎﺏ ﻣﺴﻌـﺎﻩ ﻭﻫﻮ ﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ‬
Ourselves, has for certain .‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﳋﺎﺳﺮﻳﻦ‬
compromised the destiny of his
soul. In the end he will certainly
be among the losers.

18. The example of those ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬١٨


who rebelled and rejected the
Truth as revealed in The True ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍـﻢ ﻛﺮﻣـﺎﺩ ﺍﺷﺘﺪﺕ ﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﺮﻳـﺢ‬
Gospel, their deeds are more or ‫ﰱ ﻳﻮﻡ ﻋﺎﺻﻒ ﻻﻳﻘﺪﺭﻭﻥ ﳑﺎ ﻛﺴﺒﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
less like the ashes which are
blown away by a stormy wind. .‫ﺷﻰﺀ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﺍﻷﻛﻴﺪ‬
They can never receive any
reward for their labors for their
effort is only vanity of vanities.

19. Those who continue to ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﻧﻜـﺮﻭﺍ ﻛﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ‬١٩


reject Our Word, the Messiah ‫ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ ﺭﻭﺣﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﰒ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻇﻨـﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
and the Spirit, then accuse Our
believers with false accusations ‫ﺍﻟﻈﻨﻮﻥ ﻓﺰﻋﻤـﻮﺍ ﺃﻬﻧﻢ ﻗﺎﻟـﻮﺍ ﺑﺄﻧـﺎ ﺯﻭﺝ‬
are incorrigible imposters. They
conjecture that We are a ‫ﻟﺼﺎﺣـﺒﺔ ﺃﲣﺬﻧـﺎ ﻣﻨﻬـﺎ ﻭﻟﺪﹰﺍ ﻛﻤﺎ‬
husband to a consort and have .‫ﻳﺘﺨﺬﻭﻥ‬
received from her a son in the
same human fashion as they
do.

20. Furthermore, they divide


Us into three gods when We
are the one and only True God. ‫( ﻭﻋﺪﺩﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ ﻭﻗﺴﻤﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﺩ‬٢٠
The end result is polytheism .‫ﺍﳌﻔﺮﺩ ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﺷﺮﻛﹰﺎ ﻛﺒﲑﹰﺍ‬
expressed in an elaborate
scheme.

21. Who could possibly be ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﻛﻔـﺮ ﳑﻦ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴـﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ‬٢١


more of an infidel than the one
who has spun such a lie? Then ‫ﻭﺃﺷـﺮﻙ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﺑﻨـﺎ ﻭﺯﻋـﻢ ﺃﻧﻪ ﺍﳌﻮﺣـﺪ‬
he made himself a companion .‫ﻭﺃﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻮﺣﺪﻳﻦ ﻫﻢ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
to us and falsely stated that he
continues to be a monotheist.
He also accuses our followers,
who are the true monotheists,
of being polytheists.

22. Furthermore, this man ‫( ﻭﺃﻋﻤﻞ ﺍﻟﺴـﻴﻒ ﰱ ﺭﻗـﺎﺏ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢٢


victimized Our true believers by ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺃﻭ ﻳﻮﺣـﺪﻭﻧﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺷﺮﻛـﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ‬
putting the sword to their necks
whenever they would not testify .‫ﺷـﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﻭﺍﺣ ًﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
that God is only one and not a
triune God. That is despite the
fact that they never added a
companion to Us, neither did
they join Us to any worldly
personality.

23. We have never sent a ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﻳﻘﺘﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺼﻴﻪ‬٢٣


messenger who would kill
whosoever disobeyed his ‫ ﻓﻤﺎﺫﺍ ﻳﻀﲑﻩ ﺇﻣﺎ‬.‫ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﺴﺘﺤﻴﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺑﻌﲔ‬
orders from among Our .‫ﲡﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﹰﺍ ﺃﻭ ﺛﻼﺛﺔ ﺃﻭ ﺗﺴﻌﺔ ﻭﺗﺴﻌﲔ‬
followers and spare his own.
What difference does it make to
the messenger whether We
manifest Ourselves as only
One, Triune, ninety-nine or
three hundred sixty-five
manifestations (as The Holy
Book describes Jesus)?

24. Surprisingly enough, the ‫( ﻭﺃﻗﺤـﻢ ﻧﻔﺴـﻪ ﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻟـﻪ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ‬٢٤
messenger overwhelmed
himself by delusions of ‫ﻓﻀـﻞ ﻭﺃﺿـﻞ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋـﻪ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﺩﺭﻛﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ‬
grandeur and superior
knowledge. Thus, he himself
. ‫ﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﺖ ﺃﻳﺪﻫﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
was misled; then he misled his
followers. They were not
cognizant of the fact that they
criminalized and corrupted
everything.

25. The deceivers from


among Our backslidden
‫( ﻭﻧﻄﻖ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﺍﺫ‬٢٥
followers announced their own ‫ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﺳﺨﲔ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻢ‬
counterfeit religion. Then they
forced this delusion upon Our . ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬
true believers.

26. Is there any more


outrageous ignorance than the ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﺟﻬﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﻰ ﻳﻘﻮﻝ ﻣﺎ ﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻢ‬٢٦
ignorance of an illiterate who
manufactures unfounded claims
. ‫ﻭﻳﺪﻋﻰ ﺍﻻﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
of things he does not even
comprehend? Then he
proclaims that he is none other
than Our faithful messenger,
when in fact he is no more than
an imposter!
27. O, you of Our people who
have gone astray, and become ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٢٧
infidels: you and your ancestors .‫ﻟﻘﺪ ﻗﻠﺘﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻵﺑﺎﺋﻜﻢ‬
have erroneously proclaimed
what you are ignorant of about ‫ﻛﱪﺕ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﲣﺮﺝ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻓﻮﺍﻫﻜﻢ ﺇﻥ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬
Us. How terrible and prideful
are the words that spew out of .‫ﺍﻻ ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ ﻭﺍﺫﺍ‬
your mouths. Lies and fallacies
are all that come out.

28. You have no right to ‫( ﻭﻣﻞ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺘﻜﻠﻤﻮﺍ ﻬﺑﺬﺍ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻬﺑﺘﺎﻥ‬٢٨
enunciate such falsehoods
because they are in fact .‫ﻋﻈﻴﻢ ﻓﻼ ﺗﻌﻮﺩﻭﺍ ﺍﻻﻗﺘﺮﺍﻓﻪ ﺃﺑﺪﹰﺍ‬
diabolical deceptions. You must
cease and desist from ever
repeating such ghastly words.

29. Do not pride yourselves ‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻐﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺩﻳﻦ ﻟﻘﻴﻂ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ‬٢٩


with a man-made religion. .‫ﻏﲑ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
Furthermore, you should never
declare anything concerning Us
except the honest and total
truth.

30. The Messiah is actually


the Word of Our Spirit. Thus, ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﻴـﺢ ﻛﻠﻤـﺔ ﺭﻭﺣـﻨﺎ ﻓﺂﻣﻨـﻮﺍ‬٣٠
believe in Us, Our Word and ‫ﺑﻨـﺎ ﻭﺑﻜﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﺮﻭﺣـﻨﺎ ﻓﻼ ﺗﻘﻮﻟـﻮﺍ‬
Our Spirit. Do not say three;
cease from such deceptive ‫ ﺇﳕﺎ ﳓـﻦ ﺇﻟﻪ‬. ‫ﺛﻼﺛﺔ ﺍﻧﺘﻬـﻮﺍ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﻜـﻢ‬
pronounce-ments for it is more
advantageous to you. We are in ‫ﻭﺍﺣﺪ ﺑﻜﻠﻤـﺔ ﻭﺍﺣـﺪﺓ‬
fact One God with One Word
and One Spirit. Consequently, ‫ﻭﺑﺮﻭﺡ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ ﻓﻨﺤﻦ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
We are the One and only True
God. Why don't you accept this .‫ﺃﻓﻼ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ؟‬
clear-cut revelation as the
absolute truth?

31. Enough is enough ! You


must recognize that you have ‫( ﻛﻔﺎﻛـﻢ ﺍﻟﻴـﻮﻡ ﻛﻔـﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ‬٣١
been led astray and have lived ‫ﻭﻏﲑﻭﺍ ﻣﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴـﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺮﻙ ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻭﻻ‬
as deceived people long
enough. We challenge you to . ‫ﺗﻈﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺍﻟﻈﻨﻮﻥ‬
repent of polytheism in your
inner selves. Slander and
destructive criticism which you
spread, concerning true
believers, must come to an end
immediately.

13 ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﻮﻋﻈﺔ‬١٣
THE SERMON (Surat AI
Mawidha)

In the Name of the Father, the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who are the :‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟـﲔ‬١


rebellious, yet still claim to be
counted among Our people: it ‫" ﺃﺩﺧﻠـﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺴﻠـﻢ‬: ‫ﻟﻘﺪ ﻗﻴـﻞ ﻟﻜﻢ‬
has been communicated to
you, "Enter fully into peaceful
‫ﻛﺎﻓﺔ" ﻓﺄﻭﺟﺴﺘـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻘـﻮﻝ ﺧﻴﻔﺔ ﻓﻤـﺎ‬
co-existence with others." ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻠﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
Instead, you feared the
consequences of peace .‫ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ ﰱ ﺷﻰﺀ ﻭﻟﺴﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻠﻢ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
because it is not a principle of
your sect; neither do you
subscribe to peaceful ways.

2. You have concocted that ‫ "ﻗﺎﺗﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﷲ‬:‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻨﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬٢
We have commanded, "Fight in
the cause of God and urge on ‫ﻭﺣﺮﺿﻮﺍ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ" ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ‬
the believers to fight." However, ‫ﺍﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺎ ﻟﻨﺤﺮﺽ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
fighting was neither Our method
nor is fighting urged on the ‫ﺍﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ ﺇﻥ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺇﻻ ﲢﺮﻳﺾ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ‬
believers. Such decrees
originate from none other than .‫ﳎﺮﻣﲔ‬
the cursed Devil and were
given to a lawless people.

3. You announced: "Do not


annul a conviction once it is
established. " Then you undid ‫ "ﻻ ﺗﻨﻘﻈﻮﺍ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺗﻮﻛﻴﺪﻫﺎ" ﰒ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٣
what you announced by stating,
"God has allowed the annulling ‫ "ﺇﻥ ﺍﷲ ﻗﺪ ﻓﺮﺽ‬:‫ﻧﺴﺨﺘﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻜﻢ‬
of your conviction. " There is no ‫ﻟﻜﻢ ﲢﻠﺔ ﺃﳝﺎﻧﻜﻢ" ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﻠﻴﻞ‬
equality between a sanctioned
activity and a forbidden one if .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﱘ ﻟﻮ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
you have any knowledge of
such matters.

4. Truth slipped up even from


the lips of deception when you
proclaimed, "Yes, indeed, The
True Gospel contains guidance ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﺰﻟـﻖ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴـﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃـﻞ‬٤
and light and a sermon for the
righteous people." ‫"ﺑـﺄﻥ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻫـﺪﻯ ﻭﻧﻮﺭ‬:‫ﻓﻘﻠﺘﻢ‬
‫ﻈ ﻟ‬
5. Yet, you did not conform to ‫( ﻓﻠﻢ ﻬﺗﺘـﺪﻭﺍ ﻬﺑﺪﺍﻩ ﻭﱂ ﺗﺴﺘﻨـﲑﻭﺍ ﺑﻨﻮﺭﻩ‬٥
its guidance, neither did you get
illuminated by its brilliance, nor ‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﱂ ﺗﺘﻌﻈـﻮﺍ ﲟﻮﻋﻈﺘﻪ ﻓﻜﻨﺘـﻢ ﺃﺿﻞ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
did you conform to its
instruction. Thus, you became .‫ﻭﺃﺷﺪ ﻓﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
more confused on your
pathway and more depraved in
your wickedness.

‫( ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﻀﺘـﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳍـﺪﻯ ﺑﺎﻟﻀـﻼﻝ‬٦


6. Furthermore, you
exchang-ed guidance for ‫ﻭﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻨـﻮﺭ ﺑﺎﻟﻈﻼﻡ ﻭﻋـﻦ ﺍﳌﻮﻋﻈـﺔ‬
deception, light for darkness
and excellent preach-ing for ‫ﺍﳊﺴـﻨﺔ ﺑﻘﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺴﻮﺀ ﻭﺭﺣﺘـﻢ ﺗﻀﻠـﻮﻥ‬
unsavory speeches. Then you . ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻬﺘـﺪﻳﻦ‬
proceeded to mislead Our
worshipers who had already
discovered the straight path.

7. We offered you true ‫( ﻭﺃﺭﺩﻧـﺎ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺍﳍـﺪﻯ ﻭﺍﻟﺼـﻼﺡ‬٧


·guidance and godliness. But
instead of accepting the offer ‫ﻓﻨﻜﺼﺘـﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻋﻘﺎﺑﻜـﻢ ﻭﻣـﻦ ﻳﻨﻜـﺺ‬
you turned on your heels and ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﻘﻴﺒـﺔ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ ﺷﻬـﺪ ﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻗﻬﻘﺮ‬
ran away. Whosoever turns
down the True Guidance, when .‫ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻜـﱪ ﻭﺑﺎﺕ ﻣﺬﻣﻮﻣـﹰﺎ ﻣﺪﺣﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
it is offered to him, will become
a defeated and arrogant man,
shunned and vanquished
forever.

THE DISCIPLES (Surat AI
Hawareen)

In the Name of the Father~ the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. We sent down Our Holy ‫( ﻭﺃﺭﺳﻠـﻨﺎ ﺭﻭﺣﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻘـﺪﻭﺱ ﺇﱃ ﺍﳊﻮﺍﺭﻳﲔ‬١


Spirit upon the disciples ten
days after we welcomed Our
‫ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌـﺪ ﻛﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﻌﻠﻤـﹰﺎ ﻭﻣﺮﺷـﺪﹰﺍ‬
Word back into heaven; ‫ ﻓﺒﺸﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﳊـﻖ ﻭﺃﻋﻠﻨﻮﺍ‬.‫ﻭﻟﺘﻄﻤﺌﻦ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑـﻢ‬
teaching, guiding and
reassuring their hearts. .‫ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬
Consequently, they pro-claimed
the Good News of Truth and
announced the mandate of the
correct faith.

2. Some of them memorized ‫( ﻭﺣﻔﻈﻮﺍ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺼﺪﻭﺭ ﺳﻨﲔ‬٢


The True Gospel in their hearts
for many a year. Then some of ‫ﻋﺪﺩﹰﺍ ﰒ ﺩﻭﻧﻪ ﻧﻔﺮ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﺑﺄﻋﻴﻨﻨﺎ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻟﻪ‬
them recorded it under Our
watch-care. We shall ever
.‫ﳊﺎﻓﻈﻮﻥ‬
guard it from the corrupter's
snare.

3. The disciples neither


added to the scripture nor
subtracted from it. They did not ‫( ﻓﻤﺎ ﺯﺍﺩﻭﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺃﻧﻘﺼﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺑﺪﻟﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ‬٣
exchange nor did they abrogate
.‫ﺳﺨﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻋﺎﺭﺿﻮﺍ ﻣﻨﻪ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ ﺃﻭ ﺧﺒﺰﹰﺍ‬
any. They did neither oppose
its views nor its news. They ‫ﻭﺇﳕـﺎ ﻛﺎﻧـﻮﺍ ﻟﻠﺤـﻖ ﺷﻬـﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻋـﺪﻭ ﹰﻻ‬
were in fact trustworthy and
precise eyewit-nesses of the .‫ﺻﺎﺩﻗـﲔ‬
truth.

4. The disciples did not covet ‫( ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﺑﺘﻐﻮﺍ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺣﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻋﻴﻨﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﻭﻟﺪﺍﻧﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﺛﻴﺎﺑﹰﺎ‬٤
to sell the scriptures to buy, ‫ﺧﻀﺮﹰﺍ ﺃﻭ ﳊﻢ ﻃﲑ ﺃﻭ ﲬﺮ ﺭﺟﺲ ﺃﻭ ﻣﺎ ﲤﻠﻴﻪ‬
with the money, beautiful
maidens or handsome boys, .‫ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﳑﻦ ﺗﺸﺘﻬﻮﻥ‬
stylish garments, the flesh of a
bird, unholy liquor or whatever
base instincts dictate of lustful
things.

5. They did not sell the ‫ﻼ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺷﺮﻋﻮﺍ ﺑﻪ‬


‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺷﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﲦﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﻠﻴ ﹰ‬٥
scriptures to buy, with the
money, merchandize which is ‫ﻼ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻟﻮ‬
‫ﻏﺰﻭﹰﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺳﻠﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺯﱏ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﻴ ﹰ‬
cheaply priced. So they did not
use it to initiate raids, or taking . ‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻛﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
spoils, or committing immorality
or mur-dering Our humans
even if such people were
unbelievers.

6. We inspired The True ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺬﻛﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ‬٦


Furqan as a reminder to those
who have wandered and .‫ﻭﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻟﻌﻠﻬﻢ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
blasphemed; perchance they
will desire to be rightly-guided
and become believers.
7. We have perfected the ‫( ﻭﺃﻛﻤﻠﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﺇﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ‬٧
correct religion for all of
mankind-from now until the Day .‫ﻳﺒﻌﺜﻮﻥ‬
of Resurrection.

8. We have brought them the. ‫( ﻭﺑﺸﺮﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺬﺭﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﻭﺩﻋﻮﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬٨


glad tidings. We have warned
them. We have appealed to
.‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻣﻦ ﻣﻘﺎﻝ ﺟﺪﻳﺪ‬
them to follow the True Religion
after which there is to be no
other new disclosure.

9. Is there anyone who dares


to add anything to that which is ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺫﺍ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻳﻜﻤﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻣﻞ ﻭﻳﻨﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ‬٩
perfect, to brighten the sunlight
or to align the straight path?
‫ﻭﻳﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺼﺮﺍﻁ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ ؟‬

10. We have perfected Our


Word through faith, hope and
‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﲤﻤﻨﺎ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺇﳝﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻭﺭﺟﺎ ًﺀ ﻭﳏﺒ ﹰﺔ‬١٠
love. We have also established ‫ﻭﺛﺒﺘﻨﺎ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﺻﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻭﻋﺪ ﹰﻻ ﻭﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﻓﻼ ﻣﺒﺪﻝ‬
Our precepts by righteousness,
justice and truth. Thus, there is .‫ﻟﻠﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
no altering or changing of this
Perfect Religion among
humankind.

11. If anyone brings to you


‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺟﺎﺀ ﺑﻐﲑ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺌﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﺑﻪ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬١١
something else contrary to what ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪﻩ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ‬
We brought you in The True
Gospel and The True Furqan, . ‫ﺇﻻ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ‬
he would be none other than a
messenger of Satan, the
rejected one.

12. For We are the One and ‫( ﻓﻨﺤـﻦ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣـﺪ ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ ﻭﻻ ﺇﻟﻪ‬١٢
only God. There is no other
God beside Us, neither word ‫ﺇﻻﻧﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻛﻠﻤـﺔ ﺇﻻ ﻛﻠﻤـﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺭﻭﺡ ﺇﻻ‬
beside Our Word, nor spirit ‫ﺭﻭﺣـﻨﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺇﻻ ﺩﻳـﻨﻨﺎ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﻟﻘـﻮﱘ‬
except Our Spirit and no
Religion barring Our True and ‫ﺇﱃ ﻳـﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻓﺈﻳﺎﻧـﺎ ﺗﻌﺒـﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺇﻳﺎﻧـﺎ‬
trustworthy Religion until the
Day of Judgment. .‫ﺗﺴﺘﻌﻴﻨﻮﻥ‬
Consequently, you should
worship Us only, and seek no
one's support except Ours only.

13. O, you who have rebelled


from among Our worshipers: :‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١٣
Satan has beguiled you through
his messengers. He has seized ‫ﻟﻘﺪ ﺧﺪﻋﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﺮﺳﻠﻪ ﻓﺎﺳﺘﺤﻮﺫ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ‬
you by deception, glamorizing ‫ﺑﺎﳊﻴﻠﺔ ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻷﻣﻴﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
for you ignorance, illiteracy,
immora-lity and rebellion. You ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻓﻜﻔﺮﻭﰎ ﻭﺿﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
revolted and lost your way.
There is no salvation available ‫ﺧﻼﺹ ﺇﻻ ﺍﺳﺘﻤﺎﻉ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻹﻫﺘﺪﺍﺀ ﺑﻨﻮﺭ‬
to you except through heeding .‫ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺇﺗﺒﺎﻉ ﺻﺮﺍﻃﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
the Word of Truth, guided by
the Light of Faith and following
Our straight path.
14. Repent, therefore, ‫( ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﻏﲑﻭﺍ ﻣﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻧﺘﺐ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ‬١٤
extri-cate what is in your souls.
Then We will pardon you and .‫ﻭﻧﺪﺧﻠﻜﻢ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ‬
let you enter into everlasting
life.

THE CHALLENGE (Surat
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻹﻋﺠﺎﺯ‬١٥

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the. Name of the Father,

1. If We had indeed sent him ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨـﺎﻩ ﻷﻳﺪﻧـﺎﻩ ﺇﺫ ﺳﺄﻟـﻪ ﺍﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ‬١


as a prophet, We would have
supported him with
‫ﺁﻳﺔ ﻓﻮﻋـﺪﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﺧﻠﻒ ﻭﻋﺪﻩ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﻌﺪ‬
supernatural miracles. For .‫ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻏﺮﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
when his followers sought such
from him, he promised to
perform a miracle but could not
deliver. Pretenders are those
who make fake promises which
cannot be fulfilled.

2. The True Furqan is what ‫( ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﺻﻨﻮ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻛﻠﻤﻨﺎ‬٢
We present to follow up The
True Gospel which We have .‫ﺁﺑﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﻭﺫﻛﺮﻯ ﻟﻠﻤﺬﻛﺮﻳﻦ‬
proclaimed to your forefathers.
It is designed to bring to mind
The True Gospel's perfect
precepts to those who seek to
remember Our creed.
3 . We inspire in Our faithful ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﻮﺣﻰ ﺇﱃ ﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ ﺇﻻﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬٣
messengers nothing but love, ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﺍﻹﺧﺎﺀ ﺑﲔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺃﲨﻌﲔ‬
compassion, peace and
brother-hood. Such a lofty .‫ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﺇﻋﺠﺎﺯ ﻟﻠﻤﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬
revelation is absolutely
supernatural and as such
overwhelms the hypocrites.

4. We definitely did not inspire ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﻟﻐـﻮﹰﺍ ﺳﺠﻌـﻨﹰﺎ ﺧﺎﻭﻳـﺎ ﺇﻻ‬٤
tales of the ancients in ‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﻛﺎﻟﻘﺒـﻮﺭ ﺍﳌﺸﻴـﺪﺓ ﺧﺎﺭﺟﻬﺎ‬
gibberish and prose void of any
Divine revelation. Some ‫ﺯﺧﺮﻑ ﻳﺴـﺮ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﻇﺮﻳـﻦ ﻭﺑﺎﻃﻨﻬـﺎ ﺟﻴﻒ‬
materials containing blasphemy
are much like the fancy graves .‫ﺗﻌﺞ ﺑﺄﻧﻮﺍﻉ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﻮﻡ‬
that are decorated as to please
the passers-by. Yet, its
contents are stinking remains
full of all kinds of toxic
materials. Nothing in your book
revealed a single new unknown
truth!

5. We do not dispatch a ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﺮﺳـﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳـﻮﻝ ﺇﻻ ﳋـﲑ‬٥


messenger except for the good
of Our servants. He is to guide
‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﻳﻬﺪﻳﻬـﻢ ﺻﺮﺍﻃـﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﻭﺃﻣﺎ‬
them to Our straight and right ‫ﻣﻦ ﺃﻏﻮﺍﻫـﻢ ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻬـﻢ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺭﺳـﻮﻝ‬
pathway. Consequently,
anyone who may entice them .‫ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ‬
and mislead them is a
messenger of the stiff-necked
Satan.
6. Satan's path is a crooked ‫( ﻓﺼﺮﺍﻃﻪ ﻋﻮﺝ ﻭﺇﻋﺠﺎﺯ ﻋﺠﻤﺔ ﻭﻧﻮﺭﻩ‬٦
one. His miracles are farce. His ‫ﻇﻠﻤﺔ ﻓﻼ ﺗﺘﺒﻌﻮﻩ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻨﺼﺘﻮﺍ ﻟﻪ‬
light is darkness. Never follow
him. Do not adhere to his .‫ﻭﺍﲣﺬﻭﳘﻬﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
proclamations. But instead
ignore and abandon him.

7. If anybody decides to do
otherwise, he will be
responsible for his own evil ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺃﻓﺘﺮﺍﻩ ﻓﻌﻠﻴﻪ ﺇﺟﺮﺍﻣﻪ ﻭﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ‬٧
behavior. Of course, it is Our
duty to punish the evil doers. .‫ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬

8. The imposters, who have


determined to decline the
teachings of The True Furqao,
will suddenly experience the ‫( ﻭﻻ ﻳﺰﺍﻝ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﰱ ﻣﺮَﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ‬٨
Hour of Judgment. There will ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺣﱴ ﺗﺄﺗﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﻋﺔ ﺑﻐﺘ ﹰﺔ ﺃﻭ‬
also come upon them plenty of
horrible torture. .‫ﻳﺄﺗﻴﻬﻢ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﻣﻘﻴﻢ‬

9. There are some who have


the audacity to question the
truth of The True Furqao. They
are no more than ignoramuses, ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﳚﺎﺩﻝ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺑﻐﲑ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﻻ‬٩
unenlightened and without an . ‫ﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﻻ ﻛﺘﺎﺏ ﻣﻨﲑ‬
illuminating Book.
10. Such people deliberately
follow every diabolical demon ‫( ﻭﻳﺘﺒﻊ ﻛﻞ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﺮﻳﺪ ﻳﻀﻠﻪ ﻭﻳﻬﺪﻳﻪ‬١٠
who will absolutely decimate . ‫ﺇﱃ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
them and will deliver them in
the end to the torments of Hell
itself.

11. The loathsome among the


people announced, "How great ‫ ﻟﻮ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﻫﺬﺍ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺴﻔﻬﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬١١
it would have been if this True
Furqan brought down for us a ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺑﺂﻳﺔ ﻟﺼﺪﻗﻪ ﺍﳌﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ﻭﺁﻣﻦ ﺑﻪ‬
supernatural miracle. If such . ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
were to happen then the
unbelievers would accept it and
the hypocrites· would believe
it."

12. O, people everywhere:


We have dispatched it with ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺕ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ‬١٢
verses of light, of compassion, ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬
of truth, of love, of peace and
righteous religion as a linguistic .‫ﺑﺈﻋﺠﺎﺯ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﹶﻢ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
miracle.

13. Even if men of the world


and spirits of the underworld
were to put their energies ‫( ﻭﻟﺌﻦ ﺍﺟﺘﻤﻌﺖ ﺍﻹﻧﺲ ﻭﺍﳉﻦ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻥ‬١٣
together to produce a verse like ‫ﻳﺄﺗﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺜﻠﻪ ﻻ ﻳﺄﺗﻮﻥ ﺑﻘﺒﺲ ﻣﻦ ﻧﻮﺭﻩ ﺃﻭ‬
unto it, they will not be able to
produce a glimmer of light or ‫ﺑﻨﻔﺤﻪ ﻣﻦ ﳏﺒﺘﻪ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺑﻌﻀﻬﻢ ﻟﺒﻌﺾ‬
even a breath of its love.

PREDESTINA TION (Surat AI

In the Name of the Father, the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. We have beamed The


‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﰱ ﻭﻣﻀﺔ ﺍﻟﻔﺠﺮ ﰱ ﺳﺎﻋﺔ‬١
True Furqan down in the . ‫ﺍﻟﻘﺪﺭ‬
dawning of the sun in the hour
of Qadr.

2. It is a guiding light for those ‫( ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻭﻫﺪﻯ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﰱ ﻛﻞ‬٢
in darkness and a lighthouse to
navigators of all races, times .‫ﻋﺼﺮ‬
and places.

3. It is a True Furqan of truth, ‫( ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﻭﺣﻜﻢ ﻋﺪﻝ ﻭﻗﻮﻝ ﻓﺼﻞ ﰱ‬٣


a fair criterion and a final
command in every respect.
.‫ﻛﻞ ﺃﻣﺮ‬

4. It is Love, Compassion and ‫( ﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺭﲪـﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻫﻮ ﺣﱴ ﻣﻨﺘﻬﻰ‬٤


Peace to the very culmination
of time and space.
.‫ﺍﻟﺪﻫﺮ‬

5. O, servants of Ours who


have gone astray: We have
‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻠﻤﻨﺎ‬٥
revealed The True Gospel to ‫ﺁﺑﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺑﺸﺮﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺬﺭﻧﺎﻫﻢ‬
your ancestors of yesterday,
announced the Good News and ‫ﻓﻘﻠﺔ ﺁﻣﻨﺖ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻓﺌﻪ ﺿﻠﺖ ﻓﺄﺿﻠﺖ‬
warned them day by day. Yet,
only a few believed in what We . ‫ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺑﻌﲔ ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺛﺘﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬
did convey. Another group
chose its own way then led
those who· followed them
astray. Thus, they left them an
inheritance of terrible decay.

‫( ﻭﻛﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑـﻢ ﻣﺮﺽ ﻛﻠـﻤﺔ‬٦


6. The evil-hearted people
covered up the Word of Truth ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﻓﻌﻤﻴـﺖ ﻗﻠﻮﺑـﻬﻢ ﻭﺿﻠﻮﺍ‬
and kept it from Our servants
who always obey. ‫ﺳـﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴـﻞ ﻓﻜﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻫـﻢ ﻻ‬
Consequently, their evil hearts . ‫ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
were blinded and they lost the
straight way. Finally, they
turned into pagans, to their own
dismay.

7. We manifested The True


Furqan authenticating what this ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﳌﺎ ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ‬٧
writer already had at hand ‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻣﺬﻛﺮﹰﺍ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ‬
through the "Gospel of Truth". It
is intended to remind you of . ‫ﻬﺗﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
Our Word; perchance you will
accept this True Furqan and
follow through.

8. You conjectured that We


sent him whom We did not
send. Furthermore, he
announced unto you messages ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﱂ ﻧﺮﺳﻞ ﻭﺃﻧﻪ‬٨
We never did send. We would ‫ﻳﻀﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ ﻫﺪﻳﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﻭﻳﺒﻠﻐﻬﻢ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ‬
never commission a so-called
messenger with the intention of . ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
misleading Our people. They
had already found the Right
Way; why then should We let
him teach them the wrong way?

9. Those who were ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﺩﺭﻛﻮﺍ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺇﳕﺎ‬٩


persuad-ed of Our revelation
and clearly comprehended Our ‫ﺑﻘﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻭﺃﺭﻭﺍﺣﻬﻢ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﻳﺪﺭﻛﻮﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ‬
Word believe in their hearts and ‫ﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﺳﺨﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ﻭﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ‬
souls and do accept what We
have told. They are established .‫ﻫﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻔﻠﺤﻮﻥ‬
in imparted knowledge and
upright religion. Certainly these
are Our overcom-ing people.

10. Not even a single, solitary


one of Our creatures can ever ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﺒﺸﺮ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺪﺭﻙ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻳﺆﻣﻦ ﺑﻨﺎ‬١٠
conceive Truth and accept Us,
the Triune God, except by ‫ﺇﻻ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﻠﺐ ﻭﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ ﻭﺗﻠﻚ ﺳﻴﻤﺎﺀ‬
revelation of the heart and
discerning of the mind. For .‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ‬
those are the character-istics of
the virtuous individuals.

11. Humankind's intrinsic ‫( ﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﻇﺎﻫﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ‬١١


knowledge is acquired by what
they behold. Alas, so many of .‫ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﻩ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻏﺎﻓﻠﻮﻥ‬
them have never been told
about eternal life.
17
THE APOSTATES (Surat AI-
Mariqeen)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﺎﺭﻗﲔ‬١٧

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. Satan vowed that he would ‫( ﻭﺃﻗﺴﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻟﻴﺤﺘﻨﻜـﻦ ﺫﺭﻳﺔ ﺁﺩﻡ‬١


commandeer Adam's race.
Those who decided to put their ‫ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌـﻪ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻓﻜﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺿﻠﻮﺍ‬
trust in him ended up going
‫ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴـﻞ ﻭﻛﺬﺑـﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨـﺎ ﺇﻻ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
astray. Not only did they rebel
against Us, they also rejected . ‫ﺍﳌﺨﻠﺼﲔ‬
Our Scriptures. But those who
decided to put their trust in Us
staunchly kept the faith.

2. O, you who have gone ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﻟﻘﺪ‬٢


astray, yet still claim to be ‫ﺃﻏﻮﺍﻛـﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ‬
counted among Our
worshipers; Satan used worldly ‫ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻔﺰﻛـﻢ ﺑﺼـﻮﺗﻪ ﻭﺟﻠـﺐ ﻋﻠﻴـﻜﻢ‬
pleasures to allure you. His
bewitching voice excited you. ‫ﲞﻴـﻠﻪ ﻭﺭﺟـﺎﻩ ﻭﺷﺎﺭﻛﻜـﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﻣـﻮﺍﻝ‬
His fascinating horses and ‫ﻭﺍﻷﻭﻻﺩ ﻭﻗﻌـﺪ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺻﺮﺍﻃﻨـﺎ‬
riders enchanted you. Then he
trapped you through the love of . ‫ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴـﻢ‬
money and longing for a
legacy. Finally, he even
counterfeited Our straight and
narrow pathway to you.
3. Subsequently, he
infiltrat-ed your ranks by ‫( ﰒ ﺃﺗﺎﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﲔ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺧﻠﻔﻜﻢ‬٣
creeping into your midst, behind
your backs, on your right and ‫ﻭﻋﻦ ﺃﳝﺎﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻋﻦ ﴰﺎﺋﻠﻜﻢ ﻭﻭﻋﺪﻛﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻌﺪ‬
left sides. Satan even put .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻏﺮﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
together promises for you. As
everyone knows Satan's
promises are never true.

4. Satan hoodwinked you by ‫( ﻭﺧﺪﻋﻜـﻢ ﺇﺫ ﺯﻳـﻦ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺳـﻮﺀ‬٤


convincing you that your bad
deeds are good. "No one will ‫ ﻻ ﻏﺎﻟـﺐ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ ﻣﻦ‬:‫ﺃﻋﻤﺎﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﻗﺎﻝ‬
conquer you among men as ‫ ﻓﺄﻧﺘـﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬. ‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻭﺇﱏ ﺟـﺎﺭ ﻟﻜﻢ‬
long as I am in your
neighborhood" is what he .‫ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
declared. Consequently, you
put your trust in the
unbelievers, but mistrusted the
believers.

5. Therefore, Satan's
as-sumptions concerning you ‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺻﺪﻕ ﻋﻠﻴﻜـﻢ ﺇﺑﻠﻴـﺲ ﻇﻨﻪ ﺇﺫ‬٥
were quite right. Alas, despite
the fact that he led you astray, ‫ﺃﺿﻠﻜـﻢ ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌﺘﻤـﻮﻩ ﺇﻻ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
you still followed his path. ‫ﻓﻠﻴـﺲ ﻟـﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻬـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄـﺎﻥ ﻓﻬﻢ‬
However, Our trusting
worshipers are free from his evil .‫ﲝﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻌﺘﺼﻤﻮﻥ‬
power for they have grasped
Our lifeline very tightly.
6. Whenever it is announced ‫ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻜﻢ‬٦
to you to accept what is
conveyed in The True Furqan, ‫ "ﻧﺆﻣﻦ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻭﻧﻜﻔﺮ ﲟﺎ‬:‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬
you reply, "We accept what is ‫" ﻭﺇﻧﻪ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺼﺪﻕ ﻟﻺﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬.‫ﻭﺭﺍﺀﻩ‬
conveyed to us but reject
whatever came after it." .‫ﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﺿﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺳﺎﺩﺭﻭﻥ‬
Although The True Furqan is
genuine truth which stands by
The True Gospel, still you opt to
go· astray and march on the
infidels highway.

7. Is it conceivable that We
would ever lead you astray ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻨـﺎ ﻟﻨﻀﻠﻜـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌـﺪ ﺃﻥ‬٧
when We have just revealed to
you the right way? The fact is, ‫ﻫﺪﻳﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﻭﻟﻜـﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺃﺿﻠﻜـﻢ ﺇﺫ‬
Satan has misguided you by ‫ﺻﺮﻑ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜـﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳍـﺪﻯ ﻳﺄﺗﻜـﻢ ﻗﻮﻡ‬
turning your hearts away from
the true guidance. Obviously, .‫ﻻ ﺗﻔﻘﻬﻮﻥ‬
you are not familiar with his
treachery.

8. We have made firm


promises to you and Satan
claimed he could make similar ‫( ﻭﻭﻋﺪﻧﺎﻛﻢ ﻭﻋﺪ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻭﻋﺪﻛﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬٨
promises too. But he never kept
them. Furthermore, he would ‫ﻓﺄﺧﻠﻔﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ ﺇﻻ‬
have had no power over you
had you not responded to him ‫ﺃﻥ ﺩﻋﺎﻛﻢ ﻓﺄﺳﺘﺠﺒﺘﻢ ﻓﻼ ﺗﻠﻮﻣﻮﻩ ﻭﻟﻮﻣﻮﺍ‬
when he called. Do not blame ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻫﻮ ﲟﺼﺮﺧﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﲟﺼﺮﺧﻴﻪ‬
him for your state-blame
yourselves. He cannot listen to .‫ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻈﺎﳌﲔ ﰱ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺃﻟﻴﻢ‬
your cries for help, neither can
you listen to his because in the
end all the oppressors shall be
in horrible torment.

9. Who could possibly be a ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﻇﻠﻢ ﳑﻦ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻛﺬﺑﹰﺎ ﻟﻴﻀﻞ‬٩


worse deceiver than the one . ‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﻐﲑ ﻋﻠﻢ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻔﻠﺢ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
who spreads lies concerning Us
in' order to mislead people
before they realize such were
flat lies? We must emphasize
that liars will never win.

10. Again Satan declared, "I


‫ ﻷﲣﺬﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﻧﺲ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬١٠
will commandeer a sizeable ‫ﻧﺼﻴﺒﺎ ﻣﻔﺮﻭﺿﹰﺎ ﻭﻷﺿﻠﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻷﻣﻨﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻵﻣﺮﻬﻧﻢ‬
portion of the human race,
cause them to go astray, grant .‫ﻟﻴﻐﲑﻥ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻳﺘﺒﻌﻦ ﺳﻨﱴ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻓﺮﺣﻮﻥ‬
them false hopes, then urge
them to substitute my precepts
for the true religion and exhort
them to do all of that happily!"

11. Who else but a rebellious ،‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﻳﺪﻋﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻣﺮﻳﺪﺍﹰ‬١١
Devil would the infidels call
upon? Nevertheless, whoever ‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺘﺨﺬ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻟﻴﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺧﺴﺮ‬
pays allegiance to the Devil
instead of Us will eventually
.‫ﺧﺴﺮﺍﻧﹰﺎ ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
experience a most horrific loss.

12.Tragically certain groups,


‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﺴﻴﺴﲔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﻫﺒﺎﻥ ﻃﺎﺋﻔﺔ ﻗﺪ‬١٢
including pastors and monks, .‫ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺎﺭﻗﲔ‬
have departed from the right
way, led others astray and
involved themselves with the
apostates.

13. Thereafter, these


‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﻋﻠﻤﻮﻛﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺑﻼ ﺣﻜﻤﺔ‬١٣
very postates taught you The ‫ﻭﺣﺮﻓﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻢ ﻋﻦ ﻣﻮﺍﺿﻌﻪ ﻟﻐﺎﻳﺔ ﰱ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻬﻢ‬
Bible without divine wisdom.
They even corrupted the .‫ﻓﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻘﺴﻄﲔ‬
Scriptures from its original
intent because of an ulterior
motive. They certainly were not
objective in dealing with the
true religion.

14.The dogma of the ‫( ﺇﻥ ﻳﻈﻨﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻇﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻢ ﲟﺴﺘﻴﻘﻨﲔ‬١٤


apostates is merely their
conjecture. They are not fully
‫ﻭﻧﺎﺻﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﺑﻠﻴﺲ ﻓﻨﺎﺻﺮﻫﻢ ﻭﻣﺮﻗﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
convinced of what they lecture. .‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬
They endorsed Satan, who in
turn endorsed them. Thus they
turned away from genuine
religion.

15.Furthermore, the ‫( ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻣﺮﺽ ﺩﺳﻮﻩ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻭﺯﺍﻏﻮﺍ‬١٥


imposters implanted the
disease of their hearts into your
‫ﻋﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺷﺒﻪ ﳍﻢ ﻭﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺷﻄﻄﹰﺎ ﻓﻜﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬
own hearts. They departed from .‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﲔ‬
Absolute Truth (Jesus) because
the manifestation was too
grand for them to comprehend.
They also fabricated tales
concerning Us which turned
them into unim-pressive
imposters.

THE BELIEVERS (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬١٨
Mumineen)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who have believed ‫ ﺇﻧﺎ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١


from among Our followers: we
are not separating you from
‫ﻣﻄﻬﺮﻭﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﺎﻣﺔ ﰒ‬
those who have blasphemed ‫ﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﺮﺟﻌﻜﻢ ﻓﺈﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺗﺮﺟﻊ ﺍﻷﻣﻮﺭ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺎﻗﺒﺔ‬
until the Judgment Day. You
will eventually return to Us. For .‫ﻟﻠﻤﺘﻘﲔ‬
to Us everything must return,
where the righteous will receive
their deserved reward.

2. Our believing worshipers


are artisans of virtue. They are
exhorters from evil. They treat ‫( ﺇﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻓﻌﺎﻟﻮﻥ ﻟﻠﺨﲑ ﻣﻨﺎﻋﻮﻥ‬٢
others with courtesy, love,
mercy and kindness. Even
‫ﻟﻠﺸﺮ ﻳﻌﺎﻣﻠﻮﻥ ﻛﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﳌﻌﺮﻭﻑ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬
when maligned by the ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﳊﺴﲎ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺁﺫﺍﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬
apostates, they still wish such
people peace. Obviously, Our .‫ﺳﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﺇﻬﻧﻢ ﻟﻌﻠﻰ ﺧﻠﻖ ﻋﻈﻴﻢ‬
faithful followers demonstrate
sublime character.
3. Their souls are pure. Their ‫( ﺯﻛﻴﺔ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻬﻢ ﻧﻘﻴﺔ ﻃﻮﺍﻳﺎﻫﻢ ﻃﻴﺒﺔ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﳍﻢ‬٣
inward thoughts are good. Their
speech is bright. Their deeds ‫ﺣﺴﻨﺔ ﺃﻓﻌﺎﳍﻢ ﻃﺎﻫﺮﺓ ﻓﺮﻭﺟﻬﻢ ﻭﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ‬
are pure delight. Their private
parts are kept purified. ‫ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ ﻓﻼ ﻳﻘﺮﻬﺑﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﻬﻢ ﲝﺒﻠﻨﺎ‬
Whatever We inspired, they .‫ﻣﻌﺘﺼﻤﻮﻥ‬
solemnly obey. Thus, Satan
cannot disturb them in any way.
They take strength in Our
pathway.

4. We, therefore, will


welcome them into Our ‫( ﻧﺪﺧﻠﻬـﻢ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﺭﺍﺿـﲔ ﻣﺮﺿﻴـﲔ‬٤
paradise. They will be joyful ‫ﺫﻟﻚ ﺃﻬﻧﻢ ﻳﺼﻠـﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺣـﻢ ﻭﳛﺒﻮﻥ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
and content with their prize.
This is because they exhibited ‫ﻣﺎ ﳛﺒـﻮﻥ ﻻﻧﻔﺴﻬـﻢ ﻭﻳﻔﺸـﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬
mercy in their dealing with
others. They also desired for ‫ﻭﻻ ﻳﻘﺘﻠـﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺮﻗـﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺰﻧـﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ‬
Our worshipers precisely what .‫ﻳﻘﻮﻟـﻮﻥ ﻣﺎﻻ ﻳﻌﻤﻠـﻮﻥ‬
We desired. Addi-tionally, they
promulgated peace
everywhere, did not kill or steal.
They did not commit immorality,
or maligned, criticized or
gossiped about others.

5. Man was removed from Us


for a long period of time by a
great distance because of ‫( ﻭﻇـﻞ ﺍﻹﻧﺴـﺎﻥ ﺣﻴﻨـﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺪﻫﺮ ﰱ‬٥
unbelief Still We continued to
communi-cate with him without ‫ﺿـﻼﻝ ﺑﻌﻴـﺪ ﺣﱴ ﻛﻠﻤﻨـﺎﻩ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴـﻞ‬
reluctance. The True Gospel ‫ﺍﳊـﻖ ﰒ ﺃﻓﻀﻨـﺎ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻣـﻦ ﻧﻮﺭﻧـﺎ‬
was sent with authority. Even
now We have flooded mankind ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻓﻤـﻦ ﺁﻣـﻦ‬
with Our Light through The True ‫ﻭﺍﻫﺘﺪﻯ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﻧﺘﺼﺮ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﻋﻠﻰ ﺟﻨﻮﺩ‬
Furqan. Whosoever trusted and
was guided by Us overcame .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻣﻴﻢ‬
blasphe-my and Satan.

6. Our believing followers are ‫( ﺇﻥ ﻋﺒـﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗـﲔ ﻫﻢ‬٦


trustworthy and absolutely the
most excellent citizens of any ‫ﺧـﲑ ﺃﻣـﺔ ﺃﺧﺮﺟـﺖ ﻟﻠﻨـﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓـﺔ‬
nation on earth. They practice ‫ﻳﺄﻣـﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﳌﻌـﺮﻭﻑ ﺃﻣــﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻔﻌـﻮ ﹰﻻ‬
virtuous deeds devotedly and
daily. They also forbid ‫ﻭﻳﻨﻬـﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳌﻨﻜـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸـﺎﺀ‬
debauchery, licentiousness and
moral laxity. They do not take ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐــﻰ ﻬﻧﻴـﹰﺎ ﻣﻔﻌـــﻮ ﹰﻻ ﻭﻻ‬
their status for granted because ‫ﻳﻨﺴـﻮﻥ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬــﻢ ﻓﻬـﻢ ﺍﳌﺮﺿـﻲ‬
they realize that they are the
chosen ones by grace and that .‫ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺍﳌﻬﺘـﺪﻭﻥ‬
they are the discoverers of the
right to this divine pathway.

7. In contrast, Our wrath will ‫( ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻡ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺍﳌﻐﺼﻮﺏ‬٧
be poured out on the ones who .‫ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﻮﻥ‬
have rebelled against Us. Their
destiny is like that of a
wandering star which is hurling
into deep space without a
destination.

REPENTANCE (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺑﺔ‬١٩
Tawbah)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who have gone : ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺿﻠـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١


astray, yet still claim to be
counted among Our
‫ﺇﺭﺟﻌـﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻨـﺎ ﺭﺍﺿﲔ ﻣﺮﺿﻴـﲔ ﻭﺗﻮﺑﻮﺍ‬
worshipers: return unto Us and ‫ﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺗﻮﺑـﺔ ﻧﺼﻮﺣـﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺄﺗـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺎﺣﺸﺔ‬
you will be pleased and
satisfied. Repent toward Us an ‫" ﺇﻧﺎ ﻭﺟﺪﻧـﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻬـﺎ ﺁﺑﺎﺀﻧـﺎ‬: ‫ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ‬
honest repentance and do not
commit perversion. Do not even
‫ﻭﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﺍﷲ ﻬﺑـﺎ" ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﺄﻣـﺮ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺎﺣﺸـﺔ‬
repeat, "Our forefathers ‫ﻭﺇﳕﺎ ﺃﻧﺘـﻢ ﻗﻮﻡ ﻣﻔﺘـﺮﻭﻥ ﺗﻘﻮﻟـﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ‬
practiced these things and God
has commanded us to do so." .‫ﻣﺎﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤـﻮﻥ‬
We most certainly never
command the practice of
debauchery. As a matter-
of-fact, you are a bunch of
pagans who speak of Us what
you do not perceive.

2. Your practice of ‫( ﻭﻟﺘﺄﺗﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻲ ﻣﺎ‬٢


debauch-ery, defilement and
degradation has surpassed
. ‫ﺳﺒﻘﻜﻢ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
everyone else's in the entire
world!
3. You also ill-treat the ‫( ﻭﻟﺘﺆﺫﻭﻥ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﻣـﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ‬٣
believers from among Our
worshipers and kill them. Then ‫" ﱂ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻫﻢ‬: ‫ﻭﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻬﻧـﻢ ﻭﻳﻘﺎﻝ ﻟﻜـﻢ‬
it is announced unto you that,
"You did not kill them ‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﷲ ﻗﺘﻠﻬـﻢ" ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻓﻚ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﻓﻤﺎ‬
yourselves, but in reality God ‫ﺧﻠﻘﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﻟﻨﻘﺘﻠﻬـﻢ ﻭﻟﻜﻨـﻪ ﻗـﻮﻝ‬
did." The counter-feiters
falsified such because We did .‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﻭﺣـﻰ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻟﻌﲔ‬
not create Our worshipers to kill
them! Such statement is the
product of deceitfulness and an
instruction of Satan, the cursed
one.

‫( ﻭﻛﻢ ﺁﺗﻴﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﺑﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻓﻤﻦ ﻳﺒﺪﻝ‬٤


4. Innumerable have been
Our clear proofs. Who will ever ‫ﻧﻌﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺎﺀﺋﻪ ﻭﻳﺘﺒﻊ ﻣﺎﺟﺎﺀ ﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ‬
exchange Our grace after these
proofs have come to him for ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ؟‬
what the imposters have
concocted?

5. You made statements ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﺳﺘﺸﻬﺪ‬٥


concerning Us of which you
have no knowledge ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺃﻟﺴﻨﺘﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺭﺟﻠﻜﻢ ﲟﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ‬
whatsoever. In the end, your
own tongues, hands and feet .‫ﺗﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ‬
will certify what wickedness you
were undertaking.

6. All that We desire for you is ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﺑﻜﻢ ﺍﳍﺪﺍﻳﺔ ﻭﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺒﻴﻞ‬٦
the right guidance and to walk ‫ﻓﺎﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮﻭﺍﻧﺎ ﺓﺗﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺗﻮﺑﺔ ﺻﺎﺩﻗﺔ‬
in the straight path. Therefore,
seek Our forgiveness by honest
repentance from whatever sins .‫ﻋﻤﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
you are practicing.

7. So, believe in what we ‫( ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ‬٧


revealed in The True Gospel
and what We imparted in The ‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
True Furqan. For they embody
Our true disclosure and .‫ﺍﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺗﺒﻌﺜﻮﻥ‬
trustworthy criterion. It will,
therefore, endure until the Day
of Resurrection.

20 ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺡ‬٢٠
RIGHTEOUSNESS (Surat AI
Salah)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have gone ‫ ﻫﻞ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺿﻠـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١


astray, yet still claim to be
counted among Our ‫ﻧﺪﻟﻜـﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﲡـﺎﺭﺓ ﺗﻨﺠﻴﻜـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ‬
worshipers: shall We guide you
to an endeavor which will
‫ﺃﻟﻴـﻢ ؟ ﲢﺎﺑـﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺒﺎﻏﻀـﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﺣﺒـﻮﺍ‬
rescue you from a painful ‫ﻭﻻ ﺗﻜﺮﻫـﻮﺍ ﺃﻋﺪﺍﺀﻛـﻢ ﻓﺎﶈﺒـﺔ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬
punishment? Love one another
and do not dislike one another. .‫ﻭﺻﺮﺍﻃﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
Love even your enemies,
instead of hating them,
because love is Our creed and
Our straight path.
2. Remake your swords into
plows and your spears into ‫( ﻭﺳﻜﻮﺍ ﺳﻴﻮﻓﻜﻢ ﺳﻜﻜﹰﺎ ﻭﺭﻣﺎﺣﻜﻢ ﻣﻨﺎﺟﻞ‬٢
pruning hooks. Then from the .‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﺟﲎ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﺗﺄﻛﻠﻮﻥ‬
labor of your own hands you
will eat abundantly.

‫( ﻭﺍﺻﻠﺤـﻮﺍ ﺫﺍﺕ ﺑﻴﻨﻜـﻢ ﻭﺍﻋﻤﻠـﻮﺍ‬٣


3. Turn away from your
crooked ways and act uprightly. ‫ﺻﺎﳊﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺄﻣـﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺎﻟـﱪ ﻭﺗﻨﺴﻮﻥ‬
Do not command people to do
righteously then forget to do the ‫ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻌﺘـﺪﻭﺍ ﻓﻮﻳـﻞ ﳌﻦ ﻳﻐﺼﺐ‬. ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ‬
same. Do not engage in ‫ﻟﻘﻤﺔ ﺍﳌﺴﻜـﲔ ﻭﻳﺴﺘﻤـﺮﻯﺀ ﺧﺒـﺰ ﺍﻟﻜﺴﻞ‬
warfare against others. Woe
unto him who snatches a .‫ﺍﳌﻬﲔ ﻭﻳﻐـﻨﻢ ﻣﺎﻝ ﺍﻵﻣﻨﲔ‬
beggar's morsel, enjoys the
bread of humiliating
slothfulness or takes over the
property of a peaceful people in
an assault.

‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻄﻴﻌﻮﺍ ﺃﻣﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺼﺪﻗﻮﻩ ﺇﻥ‬٤


4. Do not take orders from
Satan nor believe him when he ‫ " ﻛﻠﻮﺍ ﳑﺎ ﻏﻨﻤﺘﻢ ﺣﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻃﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬: ‫ﻗﺎﻝ ﻟﻜﻢ‬
tells you, "Eat from whatever
you have captured in an attack ."‫ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﺍﷲ ﺇﻥ ﺍﷲ ﻏﻔﻮﺭ ﺭﺣﻴﻢ‬
for it is enjoyable and
sanctioned. Fear God, for God
is forgiving and merciful. "

5. How can the stolen goods


become enjoyable and ‫( ﻓﺄﺗﻰ ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﺍﳊﺮﺍﻡ ﺣﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻃﻴﺒﹰﺎ ؟ ﻭﺇﱏ ﻳﺘﻘﻴﻨﺎ‬٥
sanction-ed? Furthermore, how
can one claim that he worships ‫ﻣﻦ ﻳﻐﺼﺐ ﻟﻘﻤﺔ ﺍﳌﺴﻜﲔ ؟‬
Us when he unmercifully
snatches the morsel from the
mouth of a beggar?

6. Therefore, whosoever ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻗﺘﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻏﺰﺍ ﻭﺳﺮﻕ ﻣﻦ ﻏﻨﻢ ﻭﺯﱏ ﻣﻦ‬٦


launches an assault is guilty of
murder. Whosoever receives
.‫ﺳﱮ ﻭﻛﻔﺮ ﻣﻨﺎﺗﻘﺎﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
the spoils of war is guilty of
stealing. Whosoever takes
women captive is guilty of
adultery. And whosoever
declares that he worships Us
through performing evil deeds
and attacking others is guilty of
apostasy.

‫( ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻨﻬﺠﺘﻬﻢ ﺳﺒﻞ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﺍﻓﺘﻠﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ‬٧


7. You have determined to
proceed in the ways of the .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻭﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻔﻠﺢ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﻮﻥ‬
heathen. You have even
accused Us of deception, but
such corrupters will never
prevail.

8. Deception was made-up for ‫( ﻭﺷﺒﻪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻫﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺇﳝﺎﻧﹰﺎ‬٨
you to look exactly like the
straight and narrow pathway ‫ﻭﺩﻋﻮﰎ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺩﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺩﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﺇﻥ‬
and faithlessness to look like
faith. Then you declared very
‫ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ ﺃﻭﺣﻰ ﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺳﻮﺍﺱ ﺍﳋﻨﺎﺱ‬
boastfully that such ideas .‫ﻭﻭﲰﻜﻢ ﺑﺴﻴﻤﺎﻩ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻟﻪ ﺗﺒﻊ ﻃﺎﺋﻌﻮﻥ‬
comprise a worthwhile religion.
However, such ideologies
cannot be called religion. They
are merely fabricated
statements motivated
by the wicked Whisperer who
has sealed you with his
likeness. Consequently, you
have turned into Satan's
obedient subjects.

9. Definitely there is a grave ‫( ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜﻢ ﻣﺮﺽ ﻓﺄﻧﺘـﻢ ﺍﳌﻔﺴﺪﻭﻥ‬٩


malady in your hearts. You
‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﻻ ﺗﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﺴﻔﻬﺎﺀ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﻻ‬
yourselves are the corrupters;
tragically, you are not aware of .‫ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
your critical state! You are also
the depraved; yet, you are not
cognizant of your fate.

10. Is there a comparison


between the one who is
‫( ﺃﻓﻤﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺑﻴﻨﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻳﻨﻪ ﻛﻤﻦ ﺯﻳﻦ‬١٠
know-ledgeable about his faith
and the one whose evil deeds .‫ﻟﻪ ﺳﻮﺀ ﻋﻤﻠﻪ ؟ ﺇﻬﻧﻢ ﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ‬
are glamorized unto him? They'
certainly cannot be equated.

11. So, do not boast of your


religion, because you have in ‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﻐﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺩﻳﻨﻜﻢ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﺃﻫﻮﺍﺀ‬١١
reality followed the whims of
‫ﻗﻮﻡ ﻗﺪ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻠﻜﻢ ﻓﺄﺿﻠﻮﻛﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ‬
others who lost their way before
you came along and were .‫ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ‬
swept away by them from the
straight pathway.
12. Numerous are the ‫( ﻭﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻓﺌﺔ ﻗﻠﻴﻠﺔ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﺔ ﻏﻠﺒﺖ ﻓﺌﺔ ﻛﺜﲑﺓ‬١٢
examples of how a small group
of believers was able to ‫ﻛﺎﻓﺮﺓ ﺑﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻓﻼ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ‬
overcome a larger group of ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻭﻟﻮ ﺃﻋﺠﺒﻜﻢ ﻛﺜﺮﺓ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺎﻗﺒﺔ‬
unbelievers by the methods of
love, mercy and peace. There .‫ﻟﻠﻤﺘﻘﲔ‬
is no equality between the
unrighteous and the righteous
even if you are beguiled by the
wiles of the despicable one.
Eternal rewards are bestowed
only upon the God-fearing
souls.

13. When the imposters are


instructed, "Follow the
proclamation that is set forth in ‫ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﰱ‬:‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬١٣
The True Furqan", they reply, ‫ " ﺣﺴﺒـﻨﺎ ﻣﺎ ﻭﺟﺪﻧـﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ‬:‫ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬." ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
"We follow what our forefathers
followed. " Yet, their forefathers ‫ ﺃﻭ ﻟﻮ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺁﺑﺎﺅﻫﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺿﻼﻝ ﻭﻻ‬. "‫ﺁﺑﺎﺋﻨﺎ‬
were pagans and did not ‫ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ؟‬
believe.

14. The example of a word


spoken in its proper season is
like the example of a good tree. ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﻃﻴﺒﺔ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺷﺠﺮﺓ ﻃﻴﺒﺔ ﺃﺻﻠﻬﺎ‬١٤
Its roots are deep and its fruit ‫ﺛﺎﺑﺖ ﻭﻓﺮﻋﻬﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﺗﺆﺗﻰ ﺃﻛﻠﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻛﻞ‬
you can always reap.
.‫ﺣﲔ‬

15. But the example of a


mean word is like the example ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺧﺒﻴﺜﺔ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺷﺠﺮﺓ ﺧﺒﻴﺜﺔ ﺍﺟﺘﺜﺖ‬١٥
of a rotten tree. Sooner or later
it will simply fall flat on the .‫ﻣﻦ ﻓﻮﻕ ﺍﻻﺭﺽ ﻓﻤﺎﳍﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺮﺍﺭ ﺭﻛﲔ‬
ground because it did not have
deep roots for a foundation.
16. O, you who have believed ‫ ﺍﺩﻋﻮﺍ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٦
from among Our followers: call ‫ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﱃ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺑﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ‬
those who have been led astray
to return to the faith. Use love, ‫ﻭﺍﳌﻮﻋﻈﺔ ﺍﳊﺴﻨﺔ ﻭﺟﺎﺩﻟﻮﻫﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﱴ ﻫﻰ ﺃﻗﻮﻡ‬
wisdom and excellent
preaching. Debate them with .‫ﻭﺃﻧﲑﻭﺍ ﳍﻢ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻟﻌﻠﻬﻢ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
true statements and shed light
for them onto the path of truth;
perchance they may be guided.

17. Those who have ‫( ﻟﻠﺬﻳـﻦ ﺍﺳﺘﺠﺎﺑـﻮﺍ ﻟﻨـﺎ ﺍﳊﺴـﲎ‬١٧


respond-ed to Our grace should
admonish those who have not ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﱂ ﻳﺴﺘﺠﻴﺒـﻮﺍ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻟﻮ ﺃﻥ ﳍﻢ ﻣﺎ ﰱ‬
responded that if they owned
the planet earth they would ‫ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﲨﻴﻌـﹰﺎ ﻻ ﻓﺘـﺪﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﳍـﻢ‬
willingly sacrifice it all in order ‫ﺳﻮﺀ ﺍﳊﺴـﺎﺏ ﻭﻣﺄﻭﺍﻫـﻢ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﻭﺑﺌﺲ‬
to redeem themselves.
Because such people rejected .‫ﺍﳌﻬﺎﺩ‬
our . offer of justification
through the Messiah, their fate
will be horrific for their eternal
destiny will be Hell. 0, what a
horrible end!

21 ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻄﻬﺮ‬٢١
THE PURIFICATION (Surat Al
Tuhr)

. In the Name of the Father, ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
the Word, the Holy Spirit, the
ODe and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. Satan designated ‫( ﻭﺩﻋﺎﻧـﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﺄﲰـﺎﺀ ﻗﺒﺤﻰ ﻏﻴﺒﻬﺎ‬١
mon-strous names for Us but
connivingly covered them up ‫ﺑﺄﲰـﺎﺀ ﺣﺴـﲎ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻟﻴﻮﻗﻊ ﺑﺄﺗﺒـﺎﻋﻪ‬
with excellent names to mislead
people into thinking that these ‫ﻓﺄﺿﻠﻬـﻢ ﻓﺄﺭﺗﻜﺒـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﺑﺎﲰﻨـﺎ ﻭﻫﻢ‬
names were genuine. Instead, . ‫ﻻ ﻳﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
he led people astray causing
them to commit heinous crimes
in Our name without
recognizing the evil of their
deeds.

2. Satan is not concerned one ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﻀـﲑ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎـﻦ ﺇﻥ ﺩﻋﺎﻧـﺎ‬٢


iota if we direct his loyal ‫ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺅﻩ ﺑﺄﲰـﺎﺀ ﺣﺴـﲎ ﻗـﻮ ﹰﻻ ﺯﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
followers to call on our ninety-
nine excellent names when the ‫ﺑﺄﻓﻮﺍﻫﻬـﻢ ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﻮﺍ ﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻰ ﻓﻌﻼ‬
selections are erroneous.
Hence, these people commit ‫ ﺇﳕﺎ ﻳﺒﻐﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻔﻌﻞ‬. ‫ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ‬
wickedness and debauchery by .‫ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﻮﻥ ﻻ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬
their own hands every time they
use these unauthorized titles.
One must
understand that Satan is never
as concerned with what people
profess with their lips as with
what they possess in their
hearts.

3. We have designed it as a
True Arabic Furqan. We have
composed it as a beacon of ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻧـﹰﺎ ﻋﺮﺑﻴـﹰﺎ ﻭﺟﻌﻠﻨﺎﻩ ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬٣
light to guide those who grope
in the darkness with the hope
‫ﻳﻬﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻴﻤـﻴﺰﻭﺍ ﺍﳊـﻖ‬
that they will discover the True ‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻟﻌﻠﻬـﻢ‬
Way. This True Furqan will also
distinguish truth from falsehood,
fidelity from infidelity.

4. Whosoever walks in the


light will not stumble day or
‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺳﺎﺭ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻻ ﻳﻌﺜﺮ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﲑ ﰱ‬٤
night. The ones who walk in the . ‫ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺔ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
darkness are none other than
the people who are convicted
apostates.

5. O, you of Our followers


who have gone astray: you ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﻟﻘﺪ‬٥
have endorsed whatever Satan
has presented to you. Hence,
‫ﺣﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﻷﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻟﻘـﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
you have performed gross ‫ﺑﺄﻣﻨﻴﺎﺗﻜـﻢ ﻓﺎﺭﺗﻜﺒﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﺘﻢ‬
immorality and even committed
crimes in Our name. We ‫ﺍﻹﰒ ﺑﺄﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻭﻬﺑﺘـﺎ ﺍﻻ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﺗﺄﻣـﺮ‬
certainly do not command
anyone to do evil. Such
.‫ﺑﺎﻹﰒ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻣﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﺮﻳﺪ‬
commands emanate from the
rebellious Devil.

6. The concerns of impurity,


‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺠـﺲ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻤـﺚ ﻭﺍﶈﻴﺾ‬٦
women's menstrual cycle, ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻐﺎﺋـﻂ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻴﻤﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﻜـﺎﺡ ﻭﺍﳍﺠـﺮ‬
after-birth issue of blood,
excrement, repeating a chant, ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻀﺮﺏ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻼﻕ ﺇﻻ ﻛﻮﻣﻪ ﺭﻛﺲ ﻟﻔﻈـﻬﺎ‬
marriage rituals, leaving your
wives in beds apart, beating
‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻧﻜـﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﻣﻦ ﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ‬
them and divorcing them is .‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ‬
nothing but a bunch of devious
and diabolical opinions spewed
by Satan himself to deceive
you. These were not Our
revelations. We have never
au-thorized such proclamations.
7. When you buried your ‫( ﺟﺤﺮﰎ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺭﺅﻭﺳﻜﻢ ﻓﻌﻤﻴﺖ ﺑﺼﺎﺋﺮﻛﻢ‬٧
heads in them the result was
blinded eyes toward the Light of ‫ﻓﻼ ﺗﺮﻭﻥ ﻧﻮﺭ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻔﻘﻬﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﻮﺭ‬
Truth. So, you in fact, ended up .‫ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ‬
with no comprehension
concern-ing eternal matters.

‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﻭﺳﻮﺱ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﰱ ﺻﺪﻭﺭﻛﻢ‬٨


8. Satan has definitely
whispered lies into your hearts; .‫ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻜﻢ ﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ ﺑﻌﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻏﺪﺭﺑﻜﻢ ﻏﺪﺭﹰﺍ‬
then he led you astray and
cun-ningly deceived you
completely.

‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻻ ﻳﻘﺮﺑﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﺃﻭ‬٩


9. We commanded Our
followers to stay away from ‫ﺍﻟﻄﻼﻕ ﻭﺃﻥ ﳛﺼﻨﻮﺍ ﻓﺮﻭﺟﻬﻢ ﻭﻳﻄﻬﺮﻭﺍ‬
immorality and divorce, to keep ‫ﺃﺟﺴﺎﺩﻫﻢ ﻓﻬﻰ ﻫﻴﺎﻛﻠﻨﺎ ﻓﺤﻖ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺃﻥ‬
their private parts pure and to
clean their bodies continuously. .‫ﳛﻔﻈﻮﻫﺎ ﻃﻬﺮﹰﺍ‬
Their bodies are designed as
Our spirit-filled temples.
Therefore, it is only just and fair
for them to keep themselves
pure.

‫( ﻓﺎﻟﺰﱏ ﳒﺲ ﺍﳉﺴﺪ ﻭﻫﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ‬١٠


10. Adultery defiles the body,
humiliates the soul and is an .‫ﻭﻋﺒﻮﺩﻳﺔ ﻟﻠﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻌﲔ‬
enslavement to Satan, the
cursed one.

11. When you announced, ‫ ﻻ ﺗﻘﺮﺑﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻛﺎﻥ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ‬١١
"Do not approach sexual
immo-rality for it is an .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻓﺎﺣﺸﺔ ﻭﺳﺎﺀ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
abomination and a wrongful
paragon," it was only
lip-service !

12. Yet, you commanded its ‫( ﻭﺃﻣﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﻗﺘﺮﺍﻓـﻪ ﻓﻌﻼ ﻣﺜﲎ ﻭﺛﻼﺙ‬١٢
performance and practice twice,
thrice, even four times and
‫ ﻭﻻ ﺟﻨﺎﺡ‬.‫ﻭﺭﺑﺎﻉ ﺃﻭ ﻣﺎ ﻣﻠﻜﺖ ﺃﳝﺎﻧﻜـﻢ‬
whatever your wealth permits ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺇﺫﺍ ﻃﻠﻘـﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ ﻓـﺈﻥ ﻃﻠﻘﺘﻤﻮﻫﻦ‬
you to own from among
women. You add that there is ‫ﻓﻼ ﳛﻠﻠﻦ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺣﱴ ﻳﻨﻜﺤـﻦ‬
no penalty if one divorces his
wife. But whenever you
‫ ﻓﻬﻞ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻫﺬﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺯﱏ‬. ‫ﺃﺯﻭﺍﺟﹰﺎ ﻏﲑﻛـﻢ‬
renounce a divorcement from ‫ﻭﻓﺤﺶ ﻭﻓﺠﻮﺭ؟‬
your ex-wife and want to marry
her again, she is not permitted
to be your wife again unless
another man has intercourse
with her first! Is there any worse
adulterous, vile or wicked idea
than such pronouncements?

13. Amazing, is it not? You


forbid adultery linguistically, but ‫( ﺗﻨﻬـﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻗﻮﻻ ﻭﺗﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ‬١٣
command it practically. You
certainly have gotten
‫ﲟﻌﺎﺭﻗﺘﻪ ﻓﻌﻠـﹰﺎ ﻭﲤﺮﻏﺘـﻢ ﰱ ﲪﺄﺓ ﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
yourselves deep in the mire of ‫ﻓﺒﺰﺯﰎ ﺯﻧﺎﻩ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌـﲔ ﻓﻮﻳـﻞ ﻟﻜﻞ ﺯﻧـﺎﺀ‬
iniquity and have surpassed the
world's worst uncivilized .‫ﺯﻧﻴﻢ‬
savages. Woe unto every
practicing adulterer, for severe
judgment awaits him if he
remains unrepentant.

2. His denunciations are his ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﻄﻖ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳍﻮﻯ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻭﺣﻰ ﺇﻓﻚ‬٢


own whims which are
fabrications inspired by a
.‫ﻳﻮﺣﻰ‬
beguiling spirit.

3. Who taught him to declare


these, but the strong and vile
.‫( ﻋﻠﻤﻪ ﻣﺮﻳﺪ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻯ‬٣
one?

4. The messenger beheld


some of Satan's heinous tricks ‫( ﻓﺮﺃﻯ ﻣﻦ ﻣﻜﺎﺋﺪ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﱪﻯ ﻭﻫﻮ‬٤
and in turn repeated them.
Why? Because of his own .‫ﺑﺎﻟﺪﺭﻙ ﺍﻷﺩﱏ‬
ignorance of the Truth of Our
Divine Revelation.
5. He even went as far as ‫ ﺃﻓﺮﺃﻳﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻼﺕ‬:‫( ﻭﺭﺩﺩ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺟﻬﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺗﻼ‬٥
reciting blasphemy openly
saying, "Have you thought upon ‫ ﺇﻥ ﺷﻔﺎﻋﺘﻬﻦ‬. ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺰﻯ ﻭﻣﻨﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺜﺎﻟﺜﺔ ﺍﻷﺧﺮﻯ‬
AI-Iat, Al-uzza and Manat, the
third the other. And verily their .‫ﻟﺘﺮﲡﻰ‬
interces-sion is to be sought. "

6. Whenever Satan touched ‫( ﻛﻠﻤﺎ ﻣﺴﻪ ﻃﺎﺋﻒ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻧﺰﻉ‬٦


him with an epileptic fit, his best .‫ﺍﺳﺘﻌﺎﺫ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﺴﻤﻊ ﺟﻬﺮﹰﺍ‬
friends rebuked him. But he
cov-ered up the physical
symptoms by announcing that
this was a visitation from the
angel Gabriel.

7. Whenever he felt ‫( ﻭﺇﻣﺎ ﻳﱰﻏﻨﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻧﺰﻍ ﺍﺳﺘﻌﺎﺫ ﺑﻨﺎ‬٧


oppress-ed by Satan, he would .‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﺴﻤﻊ ﺟﻬﺮﹰﺍ‬
call upon Us for refuge, in the
hearing of the public.

8. Nevertheless, once Satan ‫ "ﺇﱏ ﻣﻌﻚ" ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﲣﺬ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﺧﻼ ﺑﻪ ﻗﺎﻝ‬٨


was alone with him he assured
him, "} am with you. " The .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻟﻴﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﺳﺎﺭﺓ ﲟﺎ ﺃﺧﻔﻰ‬
messenger selected Satan as
his redeemer instead of Us and
he entertained himself with
what was hidden from others.

9. Satan proclaimed, "} have ‫ ﺇﱏ ﺍﺻﻄﻔﻴﺘﻚ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬٩


selected you above all of ‫ﻋﻠىﺎﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺮﺳﻼﺗﻰ ﻭﻭﺣﻴﻲ ﻓﺨﺬ ﻣﺎ ﺁﺗﻴﻚ‬
mankind to carry my message
and my revelation. Now
therefore, take whatsoever I .‫ﻭﺍﺫﻛﺮ ﻧﻌﻤﱴ ﻋﻠﻴﻚ ﻭﺍﻗﻨﺖ ﺷﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬
grant you and remember my
grace that I poured on you and
express thanksgiving
continuously.

10. "I will reveal to you what


‫( ﻓﺴﺄﻧﺰﻝ ﻋﻠﻴﻚ ﻣﺜﻠﻤﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﻴﲔ‬١٠
the ancients experienced of .‫ﻭﺣﻴﺎ ﺫﻛﺮﹰﺍ‬
inspiration, which win be a
memorable revelation."

‫( ﻓﻼ ﻳﻘﻮﻡ ﺇﻻ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻳﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻳﺘﺨﺒﻄﻪ‬١١


11. This messenger could not
stand alone, but in the power of .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺲ ﺇﺫ ﻳﱰﻝ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺭﺟﺰﹰﺍ‬
Satan, who overcame him with
delusions. Additionally, Satan
instructed him with far-fetched
fabrications and fantastic
fantasies.

12. Furthermore, Satan .‫( ﻭﻳﺮﺑﻂ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ ﻭﻳﺆﺫﻩ ﺃﺯﹰﺍ‬١٢


re-strained his heart so tightly
that the messenger could not
make a single move on his
own.

13. The false illumination


which Satan granted him turned
‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺟﻌﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻟﻘﻰ ﻓﺘﻨﻪ‬١٣
into a full-fledged rebellion ‫ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻣـﺮﺽ ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﰱ‬
among those whose hearts
were already sick and fun of ‫ﺻﺪﻭﺭﻫﻢ ﺷﻚ‬
doubt
beforehand. Remember,
whoso-ever turns away from .‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﻜﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻄﺎﻥ ﻟﻪ ﻗﺮﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﺳﺎﺀ ﻗﺮﻳﻨﹰﺎ‬
the True God to put his trust in
another, has really made a
dreadful choice.

14. O, you of Our faithful ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬١٤


followers: Satan instructs his
loyal subjects to debate you ‫ﻟﻴﻮﺣﻰ ﺇﱃ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ ﻟﻴﺠﺎﺩﻟﻮﻛﻢ ﰱ ﺩﻳﻨﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬
concerning Our right and ‫ﻓﺈﺫﺍ ﲰﻌﺘﻢ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﳍﻢ ﻓﻌﻮﺫﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﳘﺰﺍﺕ‬
narrow pathway. If such be the
case, take refuge in Us from the ‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺼﻐﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﻭﺍﻋﺮﺿﻮﺍ ﻋﻨﻪ‬
whisperings of Satan. Do not
harken to him. Rather turn .‫ﻭﺍﻫﺠﺮﻭﻩ ﻫﺠﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
away from him. Forsake and
abandon him entirely.

15. Who in the entire world is


in worse shape than the one :‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﻇﻠﻢ ﳑﻦ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻛﺬﺑﹰﺎ ﰒ ﻗﺎﻝ‬١٥
who misrepresents Us
fraudulently, then announces, "I ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻰ ﺍﻟﻴﻪ ﺇﻻ ﻣﺎ ﺗﱰﻟﺖ ﺑﻪ‬. "‫"ﺃﻭﺣﻰ ﺇﱄ‬
was inspired by God." What .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺎﻃﲔ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻭﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬
kind of fake inspiration is this? It
is what demons delivered to
him from Satan. Fascinating
fabrications and demonic
deceptions are the sum total of
this trumped-up forgery .

astray from among Our ‫ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﺑﺎﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﺑﺎﻟﻌﲔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻦ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻦ‬:
worship-ers: it has been said of

The True Gospel instructed ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻤـﺎ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻭﺭﺣﺘﻢ ﺗﻀﻠﻮﻥ‬

always have their selfish way.

‫ ﻗﺎﺗﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﺑﺎﷲ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻜﻢ‬٧

God and enjoy their spoils of

come only from the ungodly.

8. Those who have endorsed ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻔـﺮ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺣﻠﻮﺍ ﻗﺘﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٨
such a decree of killing Our
followers, and robbing the ‫ﻭﺳﻠﺒﻮﺍ ﻟﻘﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻴﺘـﺎﻣﻰ ﻭﺍﳌﺴﺎﻛـﲔ ﺫﻟـﻚ‬

"Whosoever wants to believe

There is no compulsion in

‫( ﻭﺭﺣﺘﻢ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٠


10. Yet, you set out to kill the
believers from among Our ‫ﻭﺗﻜﺮﻫﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﻒ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﻫﺬﻩ‬
followers and to compel people
to denounce Us at the point of ‫ ﺃﻻ ﺗﻌﺴﹰﺎ ﻟﻠﻤﻨﺎﻓﻘﲔ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬. ‫ﺳُﻨﺔ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
the sword. Such a command is .‫ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﻣﻼ ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
the work of the wicked.
Dreadful shall be the end of the
hypocrites who make godly
declarations, but never practice
what they preach.

11. Satan and his loyalists ‫( ﻭﻳﺮﻳـﺪ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺅﻩ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻄﻔﺌﻮﺍ‬١١


crave to snuff the Light of Truth. ‫ﻧﻮﺭ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺴـﻮﺀ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﳍـﻢ ﻭﻳﻄﻤﺴـﻮﺍ‬
They employ their vile precepts
to fulfill their purpose. They also ‫ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﲟﻨﻜﺮ ﺃﻓﻌﺎﳍـﻢ ﻭﻧﺄﰉ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺘـﻢ‬
want to conceal Our Word

WOMEN (Surat AI Nissa)

In the Name of the Father, the


‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ‬٢٤
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
1. O, you who are oppress-ors ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬:‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
from among Our wayward
worshipers: why have you ‫ﺃﲣﺬﰎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺮﺃﺓ ﺳﻠﻌﺔ ﺗﺒﺎﻉ ﻭﺗﺸﺘﺮﻯ ﻭﺗﻨﺒﺬ ﻧﺒﺬ‬
degraded a woman to a piece
of merchandise which you can ‫ﺍﻟﻨﻮﻯ ﻣﻬﻴﻀﺔ ﺍﳉﻨﺎﺡ ﻫﻀﻴﻤﺔ ﺍﳉﺎﻧﺐ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ‬
buy or sell, and discard as if .‫ﺫﻟﻚ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﳌﻘﺴﻄﲔ‬
she were the kernel of a date
palm? Her wing is broken; her
rights are taken. This treatment
has never been that of any fair-
minded people.

2. You have sanctioned ‫( ﺗﻘﺘﻨﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﻃﺎﺏ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ ﻛﺎﻟﺴﻮﺍﺋﻢ‬٢


owning whatever you desire ‫ﺗﺄﺳﺮﻭﻬﻧﻦ ﺣﺒﻴﺴﺎﺕ ﻭﻫﻦ ﺣﺮﺙ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺗﺄﺗﻮﻥ‬
from among women as if they
are cattle, even to keeping ‫ﺣﺮﺛﻜﻢ ﺃﱏ ﺷﺘﻢ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
them prisoners in your homes.
Whenever you desire sexual ‫ﻓﺄﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﻝ ﻭﺍﳋﻠﻖ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﱘ ؟‬
relations, you do it regardless of
their will. This is the height of
injustice and immorality. Where,
O where is fairness and
sublime character?

3. In the beginning We ‫( ﻭﺑﺪﺃﻧـﺎ ﺧﻠﻘﻜـﻢ ﺑـﺂﺩﻡ ﻭﺍﺣـﺪ‬٣


created you as Adam and Eve,
one male and one female. ‫ﻭﺣﻮﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ ﻓﺘﻮﺑـﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺷـﺮﻙ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬
Therefore, repent from ‫ﻭﻭﺣـﺪﻭﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ ﺑﺄﺯﻭﺍﺟﻜـﻢ ﻭﻻ‬
paganism and from committing
adultery. Be fair-minded in ‫ﺗﺸـﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻬﺑـﻦ ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ‬
dealing with our creatures. Be
united to your wife and do not ‫ﻓﻠﻠـﺰﻭﺝ ﺍﻟﺬﻛﺮ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ ﺯﻭﺟﺔ ﺃﻧﺜﻰ‬
allow anyone else to come
between the two of you. There
should be only one male and
only one female who are
married to each other, ‫ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺯﺍﺩ ﻋﻦ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
designated as husband and .‫ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻴﻢ‬
wife-if you are obedient
believers.

‫ "ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﺎﻝ ﻗﻮﺍﻣﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ‬: ‫( ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬٤


4. You pronounce, "Men are a
degree above women and ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻼﺗﻰ ﲣﺎﻓﻮﻥ ﻧﺸﻮﺯﻫﻦ ﻓﻌﻈﻮﻫـﻦ‬
those of whom you fear
rebellion exhort, leave in beds ‫ﻭﺍﻫﺠﺮﻭﻫﻦ ﰱ ﺍﳌﻀﺎﺟﻊ ﻭﺍﺿﺮﺑﻮﻫﻦ " ﻓﻤﺎ‬
apart, beat and scourge them. " ‫ﻣﺰﰎ ﺑﺸﺮﻋﻪ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺏ ﺑﲔ ﺍﻹﻧﺴـﺎﻥ ﻭﺑﲔ‬
What, then, is the difference
between the law of the jungles . ‫ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﻭﺍﻷﻏﻨﺎﻡ‬
of beast and bird from the law
of the human race?

5. A woman, according to
your Shari a, is one-half of an ‫( ﻓﺎﳌﺮﺃﺓ ﺑﺸﺮﻋﺘﻜﻢ ﻧﺼﻒ ﻭﺍﺭﺙ " ﻓﻠﻠﺬﻛﺮ‬٥
inheritor. "The male has twice ‫ﻣﺜﻞ ﺣﻆ ﺍﻻﻧﺜﻴﲔ " ﻭﻫﻰ ﻧﺼﻒ ﺷﺎﻫﺪ " ﻓﺈﻥ‬
the inheritance of a female." to
make bad things worse. she is ‫ﱂ ﻳﻜﻦ ﺭﺟﻼﻥ ﻓﺮﺟﻞ ﻭﺍﻣﺄﺗﺎﻥ ﻓﻠﻠﺮﺟﺎﻝ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻦ‬
one-half of a witness. "And if
there are two men, then one .‫ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻋﺪﻝ ﺍﻟﻈﺎﳌﲔ‬."‫ﺩﺭﺟﺔ‬
man and two women. because
men are a degree above
women." With-out a question.
this is the law of the unjust.

6. Even touching a woman is


like being polluted by excreta;
you turn away from her saying, " :‫( ﻭﻣﻼﻣﺴﺔ ﺍﳌﺮﺃﺓ ﳒﺲ ﺗﺄﻧﻔﻮﻥ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ ﻗﺎﺋﻠﲔ‬٦
"If any of you is polluted by ‫ﺇﺫﺍ ﺟﺎﺀ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺋﻂ ﺃﻭ ﻻﻣﺴﺘﻢ‬
excreta or touches a woman .‫ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ ﻓﻠﻢ ﲡﺪﻭﺍ ﻣﺎﺀ ﻓﺘﻴﻤﻤﻮﺍ ﺻﻌﻴﺪﺍ ﻃﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬
and cannot find water for
cleansing. use instead the good
sand or dust. "

7. Are you not aware that the ‫( ﻟﻜﻦ ﳒﺲ ﺍﻷﳒﺎﺱ ﻻ ﻳﻄﻬﺮﻩ ﺍﻟﺮﻏﺎﻡ ﻭﻻ‬٧
filth of the unclean, all the sand
of Arabia can never make .‫ﺃﻣﻮﺍﻩ ﺍﻷﻬﻧﺮ ﻭﻻ ﻣﺎ ﻃﺎﺏ ﻣﻦ ﺻﻌﺪ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
clean, even all the waters in all
the rivers in all the ends of the
earth will not purify a sinful
heart.

8. Unrighteous men, why ‫( ﻭﺍﲣﺬﺗـﻢ ﻣـﻦ ﺍﳌﺮﺃﺓ ﻣﻮﺭﺩ ﻏﺮﻳـﺰﺓ‬٨


have you made the woman an
object to fulfill your lust, wanting ‫ﱏ ﺷﺌﺘـﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻄﻠﺒﻜـﻢ ﻭﺗﻄﻠﻘﻮﻬﻧﺎ‬
‫ﺗﻄﻠﺒﻮﻬﻧﺎ ﺃ ﹶ‬
her when she does not want ‫ ﻭﻬﺗﺠﺮﻭﻧـﻬﺎ ﻭﻻ‬.‫ﺃﱏ ﺷﺌﺘـﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻄﻠﻘﻜـﻢ‬
you? You divorce her whenever
you wish but she rarely . ‫ ﻭﺗﻀﺮﺑﻮﻧـﻬﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻀﺮﺑﻜﻢ‬.‫ﻬﺗﺠـﺮﻛﻢ‬
divorces you. You leave her in
a bed apart but she seldom ‫ﻭﺗﺸﺮﻛـﻮﻥ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻣﺜﲎ ﻭﺛﻼﺙ ﻭﺭﺑﺎﻉ ﺃﻭ ﻣﺎ‬
leaves you. You scourge her .‫ﻣﻠﻜﺖ ﺃﳝﺎﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺸﺮﻙ ﺑﻜﻢ ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ‬
but she does not scourge you.
And you add beside her a
second, a third and even a
fourth wife along with
whomever else you can afford,
but she does not add another
man besides you.
9. You own her, but she does ‫( ﲤﻠﻜﻮﻬﻧﺎ ﻭﻻ ﲤﺘﻠﻜﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﲤﻠﻚ ﻟﺸﺄﻥ‬٩
not own you. She does not
even own her body, soul or .‫ﺃﻣﺮﻫﺎ ﺭﺷﺪﹰﺍ‬
spirit.

10. You have erected ‫( ﻭﺍﻗﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺑﲔ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ ﺳﺪﹰﺍ‬١٠


between men and women a veil
and a barrier, saying, "And if ‫ﻭﺣﺠﺎﺑﺎ ﻣﺴﺘﻮﺭﹰﺍ " ﻓﺈﺫﺍ ﺳﺄﻟﺘﻤﻮﻬﻧﻦ ﻓﻤﻦ ﻭﺭﺍﺀ‬
you ask the women for .‫ﺍﳊﺠﺎﺏ " ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻫﻮﻧﹰﺎ ﳋﻠﻘﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺣﺘﻘﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬
anything, do so from behind a
veil." This is the height of
female abuse, jealousy and
bigotry.

11. And if you fear rebellion


from women, you imprison ‫( ﻭﺍﺫﺍ ﺧﺸﻴﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺘﻨﺔ ﻏﲑﺓ‬١١
them declaring, "Stay in your " ‫ "ﻗﺮﻥ ﰱ ﺑﻴﻮﺗﻜﻦ‬: ‫ﺍﺣﺒﺴﺘﻤﻮﻫﻦ ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻜﻢ‬
home, going nowhere else."
Such a decision is devilish and .‫ﺍﻻﺳﺎﺀ ﺣﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻈﺎﳌﲔ ﻗﺮﺍﺭﹰﺍ‬
demeaning.

12. Yes, you threaten them ‫( ﻬﺗﺪﺩﻭﻬﻧﻦ ﺑﺎﻟﻄﻼﻕ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺴﺮﻳﺢ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺒﺪﻳﻞ‬١٢


with divorce, letting them go, or
even exchanging them, ‫" ﻋﺴﻰ ﺍﷲ ﺇﻥ ﻃﻠﻘﻨﺎﻛﻦ ﺃﻥ‬: ‫ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﳍﻦ‬
pronoun-cing, "It may be that if .‫ﻳﺒﺪﻟﻨﺎ ﺃﺯﻭﺍﺟﺎ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﻣﻨﻜﻦ ﺗﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﺑﻜﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬
we divorce them God win give
us instead better wives, both
widows and virgins. "
13. When one of you ‫( ﻭﺍﺫﺍ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﻑ ﺃﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬١٣
committed what We prohibited
concerning adultery, he simply ‫ﲢﺮﳝﹰﺎ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻭﺣﻠﻠﻪ‬
fabricated a lie and ascribed it
to Us. Thus, he sanctioned the ‫" ﱂ ﲢﺮﻡ ﻣﺎ‬: ‫ﻼ ﻭﺗﻼ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ‬
‫ﻟﻨﻔﺴﻪ ﲢﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
performance of the action for .‫ﺃﺣﻞ ﺍﷲ ﻟﻚ ؟ " ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﻑ ﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﺟﻬﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬
himself stating, "Why do you
forbid what God has sanctioned
for you?" Brazenly and publicly,
he committed immorality.

14. Whenever one of you ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﻣﺪ ﺍﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﻋﻴﻨﻴﻪ ﺇﱃ ﺃﺯﻭﺍﺝ‬١٤


lusted with his eyes after the
wives of others or wanted to ‫ﺍﻷﻏﻴﺎﺭ ﻭﺃﺭﺍﺩ ﺍﺳﺘﺒﺪﺍﻝ ﺍﻝ ﺯﻭﺝ ﺃﻭ ﺃﻗﺘﻨﺎﺀ‬
exchange a wife or acquire ‫ﺍﳌﺰﻳﺪ ﳑﻦ ﺃﻋﺠﺒﻪ ﺣﺴﻨﻬﻦ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﻦ ﺃﺯﻭﺍﺝ ﻣﻦ‬
more from among those whose
beauty captivates him, even if ‫ ﺍﺳﺘﻌﺎﻥ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﲢﻠﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﺮﺍﻡ ﻓﺎﻓﺘﺮﻯ‬،‫ﺗﺒﲎ‬
she is the wife of his own
adopted son, he seeks Our ‫" ﻭﳌﺎ‬: ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻭﺯﻋﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬
personal assistance in ‫ﻗﻀﻰ ﺍﻟﻐﲑ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ ﻭﻃﺮﹰﺍ ﺯﻭﺟﻨﺎﻛﻬﺎ" ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻫﻮ‬
sanctioning the forbidden.
Thus, he made up a lie and ‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﻓﺄﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻄﻬﺎﺭﺓ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﻔﺔ‬
ascribed it to Us. He claimed
that We declared, "When the ‫ﻭﺍﳋﻠﻖ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﱘ ؟‬
other finalized his purpose with
her, We joined her to you in
marriage. " This is absolutely
nothing but blasphemy,
adultery and immorality. Where,
O where is purity, honesty and
sublime character?

15. In what kind of human


merchandise do you trade?
And what kind of beast do you
lead along? ‫( ﻓﺄﻯ ﺳﻠﻌﺔ ﺗﺒﺘﺎﻋﻮﻥ ﻭﺃﻯ ﻬﺑﻴﻤﺔ ﺗﻘﺘﻨﻮﻥ‬١٥
16. Therefore, show ‫( ﻓﺮﲪﺔ ﳜﻠﻘﻨﺎ ﻭﺭﻓﻘﹰﺎ ﺑﺈﻧﺲ ﺫﻯ ﺣﻖ‬١٦
compass-ion toward Our
creatures. Be tenderhearted .‫ﻫﻀﻴﻢ‬
toward those whose rights are
unjustly taken.

you through The True Furqan ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻤﻦ ﺍﻫﺘﺪﻯ ﻓﺈﳕﺎ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻯ ﻟﻨﻔﺴﻪ‬
whosoever perceived and ‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﺿﻞ ﻓﺈﳕﺎ ﻳﻀﻞ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﺎ ﻭﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﻟﻔﻰ ﺿﻼﻝ‬
found the way actually benefits
himself. But whosoever has lost .‫ﺑﻌﻴﺪ‬
his way has really missed it
altogether. It seems that you
are all mired in a misguided
pathway.

2. You have failed misera-bly


because Satan has misled you.
Furthermore, you blas-phemed ‫( ﻭﺳﻘﻂ ﰱ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﺇﺫ ﺃﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬٢
by rejecting Our scripture. We
advise you, cease and desist; it ‫ﻓﻜﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻓﺎﻧﺘﻬﻮﺍ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺘﻤﺎﺩﻭﺍ‬
is for your edification. Do not go .‫ﰱ ﻏﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﺗﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﺭﺟﻌﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺮﺷﻴﺪ‬
overboard in your self-
importance. Rather, repent and
return to the right path of love
and humility.

3 . We have created you male ‫( ﻭﺧﻠﻘﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﺫﻛﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺃﻧﺜـﻰ ﻳﺘﺤـﺪﺍﻥ ﺯﻭﺟﹰﺎ‬٣


and female. In marriage, the
two unite and become as one ‫ﻓﺮﺩﹰﺍ ﺑﻌﻘـﺪ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴـﺎ ﻭﻋﻬﺪ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ‬
on earth, but with a strong .‫ﻭﺛﻴﻖ‬
heavenly covenant.

4. We have declared our


statues to the ancient people ‫( ﻭﺑﻠﻐﻨـﺎ ﺳﻨﺘﻨـﺎ ﻟﻸﻭﻟـﲔ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬٤
through The True Gospel. Alas,
neither the hypocrites nor the ‫ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻓﻤـﺎ ﺃﺗﺒﻌﻬـﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺎﻓﺤـﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ‬
shirkers practiced them.
Instead, they added more ‫ﺍﳌﺸـﺮﻛﻮﻥ ﺑﺰﻭﺟﺎﻬﺗـﻢ ﺃﺧﺮﻳـﺎﺕ‬
women to be their wives. We ‫ﻭﺃﻧﺬﺭﻧﺎﻛـﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺬﻛﺮﻳﻦ‬
have additionally warned you,
by The True Furqan, to bring to ‫ ﻣﻦ ﻃﻠـﻖ ﺯﻭﺟﺘﻪ ﺇﻻ‬: ‫ﻓﺎﲰﻌـﻮﺍ ﻭﻋـﻮﺍ‬
your remembrance these
precepts, return to them, listen ‫ ﻭﻣـﻦ ﺗـﺰﻭﺝ ﻣﻄﻠﻘﺔ‬. ‫ﻟﺰﻧﺎﻫـﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ‬
to them: "Whosoever divorces ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﺷـﺮﻙ ﺑﺰﻭﺟـﺘﻪ ﻓﻘـﺪ‬. ‫ﻓﻘـﺪ ﺯﱏ‬
his wife except for her
committing adultery has himself .‫ﺯﱏ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻟﻠﺰﺍﱏ ﺇﱃ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻃﺮﻳﻖ‬
committed the act of adultery.
Whosoever marries a divorcee
from such a relationship has
himself committed adultery.
And whosoever adds another
woman besides his first living
wife has committed adultery for
certain. " There will be no hope
of finding a path to paradise for
any adulterer who continues to
practice adultery.
5. Therefore, repent, and We
will grant you forgiveness. We ‫( ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻧﺘﺐ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﻧﻌﻒ ﻋﻨﻜﻢ ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ‬٥
will absolve your wrongdoing if .‫ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
you will truly put your trust in
Us.

6. You have eyes but you do


not seem to see. You have ears ‫( ﻓﺈﻧﻜﻢ ﺗﺒﺼﺮﻭﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻏﲑ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺒﺼﺮﻭﺍ‬٦
but you do not seem to hear.
Consequently, you deceive no ‫ﻭﺗﺴﻤﻌﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻏﲑ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺴﻤﻌﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﲣﺎﺩﻋﻮﻥ‬
one but yourselves, even .‫ﺇﻻ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
without being conscious of what
you are doing.

7. Your spouses are precisely


the equivalent of your own ‫ ﻓﻼ ﻳﺴﻠﺦ‬.‫( ﺃﺯﻭﺍﺟﻜﻢ ﺃﺻﻨﺎﺀ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ‬٧
souls. One will certainly not
cause a conspiracy within ‫ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻭﻳﻄﻠﻖ ﺫﺍﺗﻪ ﻭﻳﺸﺘﺖ ﴰﻠﻪ ﻭﻳﻔﺮﻕ ﻣﺎ‬
himself, by disuniting his ‫ﲨﻌﻨﺎﻩ ﺑﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﳊﻖ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﺰﻧﺎﻩ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ‬
essence and shattering his
unity. Who would break .‫ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
asunder what We have united
together in love and truth,
except the adulterers and
hypocritical polytheists?

‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻄﻼﻕ‬٢٦
DIVORCE (Surat AI Talaq)

In the-Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. O, you from among Our ‫ ﺇﻣﺎ ﺳﻘﻂ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺍﺩﻧﺎ‬١
worshipers who have gone
astray: if anyone from your ‫ﺃﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﰱ ﺷﺮﻙ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﺍﺳﺘﻌﺎﻥ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﲢﻠﻴﻞ‬
ranks falls into the web of ‫ﺍﶈﺮﻣﺎﺕ ﻣﻦ ﺑﺪﻉ ﻓﺠﻮﺭﻩ ﻣﻊ ﺯﻣﺮ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ ﺇﻻ‬
adultery, he leans on Us to
justify his evil deeds by .‫ﺳﺎﺀ ﻣﺎ ﲢﻠﻠﻮﻥ ﻭﻣﺎ ﲢﺮﻣﻮﻥ‬
sanctioning the evil of his
marrying numerous women.
Vile indeed is your method of
prohibiting any false word or
wrong deed.

2. Whenever you hear the ‫( ﻭﺇﻣﺎ ﲰﻌﺘﻢ ﺁﻳـﺎﺕ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻛﺘﻤـﺘﻢ‬٢
instructions of The True Gospel
you discard whatever ‫ﻣﺎﺳﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻭﺣﺮﻓﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﳌﺎ ﻳﺴﺮﻩ ﻓﺄﺳﺄﰎ‬
displeases Satan and change
the rest to please him. ‫ﺇﱃ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻭﺇﱃ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻜﻢ ﻭﺇﱃ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
Accordingly, you distort the .‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
truth misguiding yourselves,
your followers; even Our Own
ungrounded righteous
worshipers.

3. Having heard Our ‫( ﻭﲰﻌﺘﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﺗﻨﺎﺳﻴﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻧﺬﻛﺮﻛﻢ ﺑﻪ‬٣


precepts you blatantly ignore
them. Still, We stir your memory ‫ﻛﻰ ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺷﻬﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻓﻠﻴﺴﻤﻊ ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ‬
of such truths so that they will ‫ ﻣﻦ ﻃﻠﻖ ﺯﻭﺟﺘﻪ ﺇﻻ‬:‫ﻣﻦ ﻟﻪ ﺃﺫﻧﺎﻥ ﺗﺴﻤﻌﺎﻥ‬
be a witness against you. Let
him who has ears to hear listen ‫ﻟﺰﻧﺎﻫﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺗﺰﻭﺝ ﻣﻄﻠﻘﺔ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ‬
attentively. Whosoever divorces
his wife, except for the cause of .‫ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﻓﻌﻠﻪ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻓﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
her committing adultery, has
committed adultery himself.
Furthermore, whosoever
marries a divorcee, from such a
relationship, is guilty of
adultery. His evil deed is
certainly considered a flagrant
and vulgar deed.

4. Because of your love for


‫( ﻭﺗﺸﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﻟﻪ ﺍﳊﺪﻳﺚ ﻓﺘﻀﻠﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ‬٤
gossip, you get lost from Our ‫ﻭﺗﺘﺨﺬﻭﻧﻪ ﻫﺰﻭﹰﺍ ﻭﺇﺫ ﺗﺘﻠﻰ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ‬
straight path and consider the
entire revelation as a joke. ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻟﻴﺘﻢ ﻣﺴﺘﻜﱪﻳﻦ ﻛﺄﻥ ﱂ‬
Even when verses from The
True Furqan are recited in your
.‫ﺗﺴﻤﻌﻮﻫﺎ ﻛﺄﻥ ﰱ ﺁﺫﺍﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻗﺮﹰﺍ‬
hearing, you pretend to run
away in disbelief as if you did
not really hear anything. Is
someone else whispering into
your ears?

5 . You have hearts that do ‫( ﻓﻠﻜﻢ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﻻ ﺗﻔﻘﻬﻮﻥ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﻟﻜﻢ ﺃﻋﲔ ﻻ‬٥
not comprehend, eyes that do
not see and ears that do not
‫ﺗﺒﺼﺮﻭﻥ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﻟﻜﻢ ﺁﺫﺍﻥ ﻻ ﺗﺴﻤﻌﻮﻥ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻓﺘﺒﹰﺎ‬
hear. We denounce the living .‫ﻟﻸﺣﻴﺎﺀ ﺍﳌﻴﺘﲔ ﺍﺫﻳﻦ ﺃﲣﺬﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺣﻴﺎﻬﺗﻢ ﻗﱪﹰﺍ‬
who are actually dead and have
made out of their lives a rotten
tomb!

6. As for Our faithful


worshipers to whom We grant ‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﺇﱃ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺣﺎﻝ‬٦
some inspiration, nothing of
what takes place in the lives of
‫ﺑﻴﻨﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻗﺪ ﺣﺎﻝ ﺑﻴﻨﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻔﺮ‬
the others of infidelity and ‫ﻭﺿﻼﻝ ﻓﺈﻧﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﺫﻯ ﻋﻮﺝ ﻭﺇﻬﻧﻢ‬
estrange-ment ever takes place
in theirs. Why? The reason is, .‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﻣﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
the infidels are definitely on a
crooked path, while Our
followers are on the straight
and narrow path.
7. We have not proclaimed ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﺧﺬ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺬﻧﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﻨﺎﻫﻢ‬٧
that We will punish Our .‫ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺗﺰﻋﻤﻮﻥ‬
worshipers for their sins,
without giving them an
opportunity to repent. Why then
did you announce that We had
them executed at your hands?

8. You yourselves have


forgiven your children for their ‫( ﻓﺈﻣـﺎ ﻏﻔﺮﰎ ﻷﺑﻨﺎﺋﻜـﻢ ﻭﱂ ﺗﺄﺧﺬﻭﻫﻢ‬٨
wrongdoings, have you not? ‫ﺑﺬﻧﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻭﱂ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻫـﻢ ﻓﺄﱏ ﻧﻮﺣـﻰ ﺑﻘﺘﻞ‬
You have not destroyed them
because of that~ neither did you ‫ﻋﻴﺎﻟﻨﺎ ؟ ﺃﻟﺴﻨـﺎ ﺍﻟﻐﻔﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻌﻔـﻮ ﻭﺃﺭﺣﻢ‬
kill them. Is it conceivable that
we would order the death of ‫ﺍﻟﺮﺍﲪـﲔ ﻛﻤـﺎ ﺗﺰﻋﻤﻮﻥ ؟ ﺃﻡ ﻛﻨﺘـﻢ‬
Our spiritual dependents and ‫ﺃﺭﺣـﻢ ﺑﺄﺑﻨﺎﺋﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﻮﻥ ؟‬
off-spring? Are We not
recognized as the Forgiver, the
Forebearer and the Most
Compassionate in the universe,
as you yourselves testify? Is it
possible that you' would
demonstrate a greater
com-passionate attitude toward
your children than We would
toward Our own?

9. No one has any right to


judge humankind, mete out ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻷﺣﺪ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺪﻳﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﱰﻝ ﻬﺑﻢ‬٩
condemnation upon them, kill
them unlawfully and make ‫ﺍﻟﻘﺼﺎﺹ ﻭﻳﻘﺘﻠﻬﻢ ﻇﻠﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﻳﻘﻴﻢ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﺩﻳﺎﻧﹰﺎ‬
himself a judge over the whole
world. We Ourselves undertake .‫ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
this responsibility at the Day of
Judgment!
10. We have created the ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﻭﻫﺒﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻧﺴﺘﺮﺩﻫﺎ ﻭﻻ‬١٠
living soul and We alone have
the prerogative to take it away. ‫ﺷﺮﻳﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﻬﻧﺐ ﻭﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﻧﺴﺘﺮﺩ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻙ‬
No one has any right to share
in Our authority of giving or ‫ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﲝﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﻗﻮﺗﻨﺎ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺷﺮ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﲔ ﻭﺃﻛﻔﺮ‬
taking anyone's life. Whosoever .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
seeks to share Our authority is
the worst polytheist and the
most fallacious imposter.

‫( ﻭﺳﺘﺠﺰﻭﻥ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺍﳍﻮﻥ ﲟﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ‬١١


11. Sooner or later you will
definitely receive your just .‫ﺗﺴﺘﻜﱪﻭﻥ‬
punishment for rejecting what
was divinely revealed to you.

12. You have utterly deceived ‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻭﺿﻞ ﻋﻨﻜﻢ‬١٢
yourselves and have even lost
track of your long path of . ‫ﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
hypocrisy.

ADULTERY (Surat AI Zina')
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬٢٧

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. The parable of the true ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻦ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺭﺟﻞ ﺃﺳﺲ ﺑﻨﻴﺎﻧﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ‬١
believer is like that of a man
who constructed his house on
‫ﺻﺨﺮﺓ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻬﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻓﻈﻞ ﺛﺎﺑﺘﹰﺎ ﻭﻓﺎﺯ‬
the rock of love, purity and .‫ﺑﺎﻟﻨﺼﺮ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﲑ‬
righteousness. When the storm
came he emerged well-
established and overcame with
a grand victory.

2. The parable of the


‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺭﺟﻞ ﺃﺳﺲ ﺑﻨﻴﺎﻧﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ‬٢
unbe-liever, on the other hand, ‫ﺷﻔﺎ ﺟﺮﻑ ﻫﺎﺭ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
is like that of a man who
constructed his house on the .‫ﻓﺈﻬﻧﺎﺭ ﺑﻪ ﰱ ﻧﺎﺭ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﻓﻼﻗﻰ ﺳﻮﺀ ﺍﳌﺼﲑ‬
edge of a dry riverbed of
murder, adultery and
debauchery. When the storm
came the house crashed with
him into hellfire and a most
horrific end.

3. O, corrupt generation from


among Our deceived :‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫـﻞ ﺍﻟﺴﻔـﺎﺡ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٣
worshipers: you have
maneuvered yourselves into
‫ﻟﻘـﺪ ﺩﻓﻌﺘـﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟـﺰﱏ ﲟﺎ‬
immorality by taking to ‫ﻃﺎﺏ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺴـﺎﺀ ﻣـﺜﲎ ﻭﺛﻼﺙ‬
yourselves whomever you liked
from among women-two, three ‫ﻭﺭﺑـﺎﻉ ﺃﻭ ﻣـﺎ ﻣﻠﻜـﺖ ﺃﳝﺎﻧﻜـﻢ‬
or even four, plus whosoever
you owned as slaves. By this
‫ﻓﻌﺎﺭﺿﺘـﻢ ﺳﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒـﻴﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﺑﺄﻥ‬
principle, you have diametrically ‫ﻣﻦ ﻧﻈـﺮ ﻷﻧﺜـﻰ ﺑﻌـﲔ ﺍﻟﺸﻬـﻮﺓ ﻓﻘـﺪ‬
opposed Our decree in The
True Gospel. In it We declared ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻙ‬. ‫ﺯﱏ ﻬﺑـﺎ ﰱ ﻗﻠﺒـﻪ ﺍﻟﺴﻘﻴـﻢ‬
that whosoever looked at a
woman with a lustful eye has
‫ﺑﺰﻭﺟـﺔ ﺃﺧﺮﻯ ﻓﻘـﺪ ﺯﱏ ﻭﺃﻭﻗﻌﻬـﺎ ﰱ‬
committed adultery with her in .‫ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
his sick heart. And whosoever
marries another woman
besides his first living wife
commits adultery and causes
her to be involved in adultery
and depravity.
4. Let the sinful individual put ‫( ﻓﻠﻴﻔﻘﺄ ﺫﻭ ﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﺍﻟﺰﺍﻧﻴﺔ ﻋﻴﻨﻪ ﻓﺨﲑ ﻟﻪ ﺃﻥ‬٤
out his adulterous eye. It is
preferable for him to enter ‫ﻳﺪﺧﻞ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﺃﻋﻮﺭ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻠﻘﻰ ﻛﻞ ﺟﺴﺪﻩ ﰱ‬
paradise without an eye than to .‫ﺳﻌﲑ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
have his entire body thrust into
the searing flames of Hell.

5. Therefore, stay away from ‫( ﻓﺎﺟﺘﻨﺒﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻓﺎﺣﺸﻪ ﻭﺳﺎﺀ‬٥
immorality. It is an abomination
as well as a corrupt pathway. ‫ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺿﺮ ﺍﻟﺰﺍﱏ ﺇﻻ ﺑﻨﻔﺴﻪ ﻓﺪﻧﺲ ﻃﻬﺮ‬،‫ﺳﺒﻴﻼﹰ‬
An adulterer really hurts himself
for he contaminates the purity .‫ﺟﺴﺪﻩ ﻭﺃﺻﺒﺢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺩﻣﲔ‬
of his body and in the end he
becomes one of the regretful.

6. It must be clearly
understood that permitting the ‫( ﻭﲢﻠﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ ﺑﺎﻟﺰﻭﺟﺔ ﺣﺚ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬٦
practice of marrying another
wife is promoting adultery and .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
depravity.

7. We have created mankind.


in the very beginning, as only ‫( ﻭﺧﻠﻘﻨﺎ ﺍﻹﻧﺴﺎﻥ ﺑﺪﹰﺍ ﺯﻭﺟﹰﺎ ﻓﺮﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﺯﻭﺟ ﹰﺔ‬٧
one husband and one wife-not
four wives! Furthermore, We ‫ ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﺰﻭﺟﺔ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ ﳌﻦ‬.‫ﻓﺮﺩﺓ ﻻ ﺃﺭﺑﻌﹰﺎ‬
com-manded our very loyal .‫ﻻﻳﻄﻴﻖ ﺍﻟﺘﺒﺘﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﲔ‬
subjects, who cannot survive a
life of celibacy, to marry only
one wife.

8. Surprisingly enough, you


stoned the individuals who ‫( ﻭﺭﲨﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﺰﻧﺎﺓ ﻛﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﺃﺑﺮﻳﺎﺀ ﻓﻤﻦ ﻳﱪﻯﺀ‬٨
were caught in adultery as if
you were totally innocent from .‫ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻓﻠﻴﻜﻦ ﺃﻭﻝ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﲨﲔ‬
such sins. Let it be proclaimed
that whosoever is without sin
throw the first stone.

9. You also instructed people ‫( ﻭﺃﻣﺮﰎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺎﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻭﻧﺴﻴﺘﻢ‬٩


in purity and righteousness but ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻭﻬﻧﻴﺘﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬
forgot to practice what you
preached. Again you forbade ‫ﺍﻵﲦﻮﻥ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﻤﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺩﻋﻮﰎ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬
wickedness and oppression.
Yet, you surfaced as the world's .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
worst wicked oppressors. You
have even invited others to be
faithful whereas you emerged
as faithless.

10. Amazingly enough, you


have smothered Truth with a ‫( ﻭﺃﻟﺒﺴﺘﻢ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﻛﺘﻤﺘﻢ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬١٠
robe of lies. You have hidden
Our Scriptures that you might ‫ﺃﺷﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﺑﻪ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﺃﻥ ﺗﻔﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﱎ‬
sell them and purchase .‫ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
something with them later! Your
whole purpose is to fabricate
lies against Us. Don't you
realize that you cannot hide
from Us?

11. Furthermore, We have


urged Our worshipers never to
swear in Our name. Their reply ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺃﻻ ﳛﻠﻔﻮﺍ ﺑﺄﲰﻨﺎ ﺃﺑﺪﹰﺍ‬١١
should be simply "yes" or "no."
Instead you declared that ‫ ﻓﻘﻠﺘﻢ ﺑﺈﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ‬. ‫ﻭﺟﻮﺍﻬﺑﻢ ﻧﻌﻢ ﺃﻭ ﻻ‬
whosoever will swear should
swear in the name of God or ‫ﺣﺎﻟﻔﹰﺎ ﻓﻠﻴﺤﻠﻒ ﺑﺎﺳﻢ ﺍﷲ ﺃﻭ ﻳﺼﻤﺖ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ‬
keep silent. Such a statement .‫ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺍﳌﺎﺭﻗﲔ‬
comes from reprobate sinners.
12. O, people everywhere: ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ ﻣﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺃﺣﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬١٢
whosoever marries four
women, adds a second wife to ‫ﺃﻭ ﻣﻄﻠﻘﻬﺎ‬. ‫ ﻣﺸﺮﻛﹰﺎ ﺑﺰﻭﺟﺘﻪ ﺃﺧﺮﻯ‬: ‫ﺃﺭﺑﻌﺔ‬
his first, divorces his wife
without her committing adultery, ‫ ﺃﻭ ﺫﺍ ﻋﲔ ﺯﺍﻧﻴﺔ‬.‫ ﺃﻭ ﺯﻭﺝ ﻣﻄﻠﻘﺔ‬. ‫ﺩﻭﻥ ﺯﻧﺎﻫﺎ‬
marries a divorcee, or has a .‫ﻭﻓﻌﻞ ﺫﻣﻴﻢ‬
lustful eye and participates in a
vile deed is considered an
adulterer.

13. Therefore, We command


you to be pure and not impure
for We love the people of purity
and modesty. ‫( ﻓﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﻃﻬﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻻ ﺯﻧﺎﺓ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﳓﺐ‬١٣

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
1. We have brought
down upon you the Living ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
Bread out of Heaven. It is to be
a celebration for the first and ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻣﺎﺋﺪﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﺧﺒﺰﹰﺍ ﺣﻴﹰﺎ‬١
last among you. Whosoever
repents and eats of it as a ‫ ﻓﻤﻦ‬. ‫ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻋﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻷﻭﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﻵﺧﺮﻛﻢ‬
believer, his heart becomes
contented and will not hunger
‫ﺗﺎﺏ ﻭﻃﻌﻢ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﺍﻃﻤﺄﻥ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ ﻭﻟﻦ ﳚﻮﻉ‬
again. We would also purify him .‫ﻭﻃﻬﺮﻧﺎﻩ ﻭﺃﺩﺧﻠﻨﺎﻩ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﺭﺍﺿﻴﹰﺎ ﻣﺮﺿﻴﹰﺎ‬
and usher him into Our
Gardens cheerful and grateful.
2. Furthermore, We
have caused pure and living ‫( ﻭﻓﺠﺮﻧﺎ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺷﺮﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺣﻴﹰﺎ ﻃﻬﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺷﻔﺎﺀ‬٢
drink to burst forth. There is ‫ﻟﻠﻨﻔﻮﺱ ﻣﻦ ﺗﺎﺏ ﻭﺷﺮﺏ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﻟﻦ ﻳﻌﻄﺶ‬
healing for the souls of mankind
in that drink. Whosoever .‫ﻭﻃﻬﺮﻧﺎﻩ ﻓﺼﺎﺭ ﺧﻠﻘﹰﺎ ﻧﻘﻴﹰﺎ‬
repents and drinks from it
trustfully will not thirst again.
Moreover, We will definitely
cleanse him and make him a
purified vessel for Our glory.

‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻷﺑﺮﺍﺭ ﻳﺸﺮﺑﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻛﺄﺱ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﺰﺍﺟﻬﺎ‬٣


3. The upright shall
partake from this cup which .‫ﻓﺪﺍﺀ ﻭﺩﻣﺎ ﺯﻛﻴﹰﺎ‬
symbolizes the substance of
redemption and the sinless
blood of the Messiah.

4. Whosoever believes ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ ﻭﻃﻌﻢ ﻭﺷﺮﺏ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﺎﺋﺪﺗﻨﺎ ﻓﻠﻦ‬٤


and eats of this bread and ‫ﲡﻮﻉ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻭﻟﻦ ﺗﻌﻄﺶ ﺭﻭﺣﻪ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺻﺎﺭ‬
drinks at Our table, his soul will
never hunger and his spirit will .‫ﺇﻧﺴﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻣﻔﺪﻳﹰﺎ‬
never thirst. He will certainly
turn into a redeemed creature
of ours.

5. The unbelieving, who ‫( ﻭﺟﻌـﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻴﻨـﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﺳﺪﹰﺍ‬٥


do not trust Us, have erected ‫ﺷﻴـﺪﻭﻩ ﺑﺴﻮﺀ ﺃﻓﻌﺎﳍـﻢ ﻭﺇﻓﻚ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﳍـﻢ‬
between them and Us a barrier.
They constructed it with their ‫ﻭﺧﺒـﺚ ﺃﻓﻜﺎﺭﻫـﻢ ﻭﻛـﺮﻩ ﺇﺧﻮﺍﻬﻧـﻢ‬
vile deeds, untruthful
utterances and evil thoughts ‫ﻓﺤﺠﺒﻮﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬـﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺭﲪﺘـﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻬـﻢ‬
which debased their fellowman.
Consequently, they have ‫ﻃﻮﻋـﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﻛﺮﻫـﹰﺎ ﻓﻈﻠﻤـﻮﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬـﻢ‬
isolated themselves from Our
Mercy, some voluntarily, others .‫ﻭﺳﻮﻑ ﻳﻠﻘﻮﻥ ﻏﻴﹰﺎ‬
circumstantially. Once they
reached this eventuality they
realized that the whole thing
was deception and falsehood.
Unfortunately, they oppressed
themselves by their own choice.

confirming what is already in ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﻧﻮﺭ ﻭﻣﻴﺜﺎﻕ ﻟﻌﻬﺪﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﻢ‬
our possession in The True
Gospel. It is an illuminating light .‫ﻣﻘﻴﻤﻮﻥ‬
and a covenant for our age,
proving that we are anchored
upon genuine religion."

2. Those who become


en-lightened and believe : ‫( ﻭﻗـﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﻫﺘـﺪﻭﺍ‬٢
announce, "O, that we had
been enlightened beforehand. ‫"ﻳـﺎ ﻟﻴـﺘﻨﺎ ﺍﻫﺘﺪﻳﻨـﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒـﻞ ﻭﻟﻴـﺖ‬
We wish that our ancestors had ‫ﺁﺑـﺎﺀﻧﺎ ﻗﺒﺴـﻮﺍ ﻣـﻦ ﻫـﺬﺍ‬
glimpsed a shaft of this light,
enlightened just as we are and ‫ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻭﺍﻫﺘـﺪﻭﺍ ﻣﺜﻠﻤـﺎ ﺍﻫﺘﺪﻳـﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
had not died as pagans. "
"‫ﻣﺎﺗـﻮﺍ ﻛﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬

3. As for the people who ‫( ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻃﻤﺴﻮﺍ ﻋﻞ ﻋﻴﻮﻬﻧﻢ ﺑﺄﺳﺠﺎﻑ‬٣


mask their eyes with the curtain
of infidelity, confusion, ‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻐﺮﻭﺭ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ‬
igno-rance and arrogance, they .‫ﺣﺰﺏ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﺻﺤﺎﺏ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
are definitely the party of Satan
and destined for the Abyss.

‫" ﻟﻮ ﻛﺎﻥ‬: ‫( ﻭﺳﻴﻘﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺴﻔﻬﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬٤


4. The depraved people will
counter the believer's ‫ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﷲ ﻷﻳﺪﻩ ﺑﺂﻳﻪ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪﻩ‬
state-ment, "Had this True
Furqan originated from God, He ."‫ﻭﻟﻜﻨﺎ ﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
would have authenticated it
with a supernatural sign from
Him. Then, we would have
been among the believers."

5. O, people everywhere: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻳﺪﻧﺎﻩ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺕ ﻭﻣﻌﺠﺰﺍﺕ‬٥


We have indeed authenticated
it with signs and wonders. ‫ﺃﻗﺮ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺍﻹﻧﺲ ﻭﺍﳉﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ‬
Humankind, demons, along .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ‬
with the polytheists and infidels
acknowledged that the
scriptures are infallible and
reliable for faith and practice.
6. Respond, if you please! ‫( ﺃﻣﺎ ﺷﻔﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻷﻛﻤﻪ ﻭﺍﻷﺑﺮﺹ ﻭﺃﺣﻴﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﻮﺗﻰ‬٦
Did We not heal the deaf-mute ‫ﻭﺃﺷﺒﻌﻨﺎ ﺍﳉﻴﺎﻉ ﺁﻻﻓﹰﺎ ؟ ﻓﺄﻯ ﺁﻳﺔ ﻏﺐ ﺫﻟﻚ‬
and the leper? Did We not raise
the dead to life and feed the .‫ﺗﻄﻠﺒﻮﻥ ؟ ﻭﺑﺄﻯ ﺁﻻﺗﻨﺎ ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ؟‬
thousands? What other signs
besides these do you demand?

7. We have inspired The True ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻟﻘﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ‬٧
Furqan, affirming what We
proclaimed in The True Gospel. ‫ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻣﺬﻛﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻓﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ‬
It is intended to refresh the ‫ﻭﺁﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ ﻻ ﻧﺒﺪﳍﺎ ﰱ ﺇﳒﻴﻞ ﺣﻖ ﺃﻭ ﰱ‬
memory of the infidels.
Therefore, Our criterion is one. ‫ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺣﻖ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻐﲑﻫﺎ ﺯﻣﺎﻥ ﺃﻭ ﻣﻜﺎﻥ ﻭﻻ‬
Our . scripture is one. We do
not alter it in The True Gospel .‫ﻳﻨﺴﺨﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺜﻘﻼﻥ ﻭﻻ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ‬
nor in The True Furqan. Even
time and space cannot change
it. Neither the hypocrites nor the
conspirators can abrogate it.

8. Hence, The True ‫( ﻋﻮﺩ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺑﺪﺀ ﻭﺻﻨﻮ ﺍﻻﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺭﺟﻊ‬٨
Furqan's objective is to return
us to the fundamentals. It is ‫ﺍﻟﺼﺪﻯ ﻭﺑﻴﺎﻥ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﻭﺗﺬﻛﺮﺓ ﻟﻠﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
unvarying from The True ‫ﻭﻧﻮﺭ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺑﺸﲑ ﻭﻧﺬﻳﺮ ﻭﻫﺪﻯ ﻟﻠﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬
Gospel. It is reverberation of
the echo. It is a proclamation to .‫ﻟﻌﻠﻬﻢ ﻳﺬﻛﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
all peoples. It is a wake-up call
to the infidels. Additionally, it is
light, compassion, good news,
warning and right instruction for
those who have gone astray~
perchance, they would recollect
the Truth and be spiritually
enlightened.

THE HYPOCRITES (Surat Al
Munafiqeen)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﲔ‬٣٠

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who are ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١


hypocrites from among Our
misled worshipers: Satan has
‫ﺃﻗﺴﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻟﻴﺰﻳﻦ ﻟﻜﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
vowed that he would make .‫ﻓﻬﻮ ﻏﺎﻭ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺘﺒﻌﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﻭﻭﻥ‬
himself attractive to everyone
who dwells on the earth. For he
is a seducer and none follow
him except the seduced.

2. You counterfeited and


Satan did counterfeit but Satan
‫( ﻭﻣﻜﺮﰎ ﻭﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺧﲑ‬٢
is the unequalled counterfeiter. .‫ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻳﻦ‬

3. Consequently, subtly
‫( ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺩﻛﻢ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﺇﻻ‬٣
he escorted each of you to the .‫ﻭﺍﺭﺩﻫﺎ ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻘﻀﻴﹰﺎ‬
Abyss.

4. Yet, he has no
‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ‬٤
authority over those who love ‫ ﺇﳕﺎ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻧﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ‬، ‫ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻳﺘﻮﻛﻠﻮﻥ‬
and lean on Us. Satan's
authority is solely over those .‫ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺘﻪ ﻭﺃﺗﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺭﺳﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﲔ‬
who trust his decree and follow
his dishonest messengers.
5. As a result, whosoever ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﻛﻔﺮ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺇﳝﺎﻧﻪ ﻭﺷﺮﺡ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬٥
rebels against Us, subsequent
to his trusting Us, and spreads ‫ﺻﺪﺭﹰﺍ ﻓﻠﻪ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺭﻫﻴﺐ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺃﻧﻪ ﺃﺳﺘﺠﺐ‬
his heart wide open to
blasphemy, horrific terror awaits ‫ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻭﺳﻴﺠﺰﻯ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ‬
him. Because an impostor .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
prefers the temporal life over
the eternal, he shall be
punished for certain.

‫( ﻭﻃﺒﻊ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜﻢ ﻭﲰﻌﻜﻢ‬٦


6. Hypocrites, Satan has
sealed your hearts, ears and ‫ ﻻ ﺟﺮﻡ‬. ‫ﻭﺃﺑﺼﺎﺭﻛﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻗﻮﻡ ﻻ ﺗﻔﻬﻤﻮﻥ‬
eyes. Accordingly, you are an
unen-lightened people. It is no .‫ﺃﻧﻜﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺧﺮﺓ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﳋﺎﺳﺮﻭﻥ‬
surprise that at the end you
yourselves are the vanquished.

7. Satan has messengers ‫( ﻭﻟﻠﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺳﻞ ﻳﻮﺣﻰ ﺑﻌﻀﻬﻢ ﻟﺒﻌﺾ‬٧


who disclose things to each ‫ﻭﻳﺴﺮﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺠﻮﻯ ﻭﻳﺘﺨﺎﺩﻋﻮﻥ ﺑﻮﺣﻰ ﻭﺳﻮﺍﺱ‬
other~ and hold secret
discussions with each other. .‫ﺧﻨﺎﺱ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ‬
They also conspire evil
intentions by the spell of the
vile whisperer, Satan.

8. He tosses animosity
and hate in their midst ‫( ﻳﻠﻘﻰ ﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﺍﻭﺓ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﺇﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ‬٨
persistently; until the day when ‫ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ ﻛﻠﻤﺎ ﺃﻭﻗﺪﻭﺍ ﺃﻭﺗﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺃﻃﻔﺄﻧﺎﻫﺎ‬
they discover the correct path.
Each time the hypocrites ignite .‫ﻭﻳﺴﻌﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻓﺴﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻓﻮﻳﻞ ﻟﻠﻤﻔﺴﺪﻳﻦ‬
the fire of infidelity We snuff it
out. Although they spread
corruption throughout the earth
constantly, destruction awaits
the corrupters eventually.
9. Because of such tactics ‫( ﻭﻗﺴﺖ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٩
the hearts of the hypocrites
from among Our worshipers . ‫ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﳍﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ‬
become hardened.

‫( ﻭﻧﺴﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﺫﻛﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻓﻌﺎﺩﻭﺍ ﳌﺎ ﻬﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻨﻪ‬١٠


10. Unfortunately, they
forget what they are supposed .‫ﻭﺇﻬﻧﻢ ﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﻮﻥ‬
to remember. Instead, they
revert to what they were
forbidden from doing and are
transformed into fanatical
hypocrites.

11. Their so-called good


deeds are as the mirage of the ‫( ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ ﻛﺴﺮﺍﺏ ﲟﻬﻤﺔ ﳛﺴﺒﻪ ﺍﻟﻀﻤﺂﻥ‬١١
desert. The thirsty takes it for
water, when it is not. For when ‫ﻣﺎﺀ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻮ ﲟﺎﺀ ﻓﺈﺫﺍ ﺟﺎﺀ ﺧﺎﺏ ﺳﻌﻴﻪ ﻭﻟﻘﻰ‬
he arrives at the spot his hope .‫ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﳋﺎﺋﺒﲔ‬
vanishes away. He ends up
with the retribution of the
disappoint-ed, even thirstier
than before.

12, However, those who


believe in The True Gospel and ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬١٢
The True Furqan and have ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻋﻤﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﺎﺕ ﻟﻨﺴﺘﺨﻠﻔﻨﻬﻢ ﰱ‬
demonstrated their faith by
practicing righteous deeds; we ‫ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻭﻟﻨﻤﻜﻨﻦ ﳍﻢ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻟﻨﺒﺪﻟﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
shall let them inherit the earth.
We shall also establish for them ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﻛﻔﺮ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ‬.‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﺧﻮﻓﻬﻢ ﺃﻣﻨﹰﺎ‬
the True Religion and shall .‫ﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻔﺎﺳﻘﻮﻥ‬
exchange their fear for faith.
Anybody who turns down all of
these promises would certainly
be a deranged entity.
13. O, you who have ‫ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺭﻓﻊ ﻟﻨﺎ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٣
believed from among Our
followers: each time you call ‫ﺩﻋﺎﺀ ﻓﺈﻧﻪ ﻳﺴﺘﺠﺎﺏ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻓﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﺠﺎﺏ‬
upon Us We shall respond to
you accordingly. As for the .‫ﳍﻢ ﻓﻴﻜﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﳌﻘﺴﻄﻮﻥ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺍﳌﺒﻄﻠﻮﻥ‬
prayers of the hypocrites
concerning you, We shall not
respond in like manner,
because you are the righteous.

‫( ﻭﻟﻦ ﺗﻐﲎ ﻋﻨﻬـﻢ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﳍﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺃﻭﻻﺩﻫﻢ‬١٤


14. If the riches of the
hypocrites were offered they ‫ﻣﻨﺎ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﺍﺻﺤﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻨـﺎﺭ ﺃﺳﺘﺤﻮﺫ‬
will not be an acceptable
substitute for their redemption. ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﺄﻧﺴﺎﻫﻢ ﺫﻛﺮﻧﺎ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺣﺰﺑﻪ‬
Even if they sacrificed their .‫ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﻮﻥ‬
young children, such a valuable
offering will not count, for they
are destined for Hell. Satan has
captured them, caused them to
forget the memory of Our
personage and turned them
into his intimate supporters.

15. Whenever it is
declared to the hypocrites,
"Repent and God will pardon
‫ ﺗﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻳﺘﺐ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬١٥
you," they turn their heads and ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻟﻮﻭﺍ ﺭﺅﻭﺳﻬﻢ ﻭﺻﺪﻭﺍ ﻭﻫﻢ‬
back away in apparent
arrogance. As far as they are ‫ﻣﺴﺘﻜﱪﻭﻥ ﻭﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺃﻫﺪﻳﺘﻬﻢ ﺃﻡ ﱂ ﻬﺗﺪﻫﻢ‬
concerned, it makes no
difference to them whether
.‫ﻓﻬﻢ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
anyone attempts to guide them
or not, they refuse to trust in
The Truth, Jesus the Messiah!
16. Their perception of Us
is inaccurate. The hypocrites do ‫( ﻳﻈﻨﻮﻥ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻏﲑ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻻ ﳚﺘﻨﺒﻮﻥ ﻛﺒﺎﺋﺮ‬١٦
not stay clear of cruelty and ‫ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﻮﺍﺣﺶ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻳﺘﺒﻌﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻫﻢ‬
iniquity, but also follow after
suppositions and false .‫ﺇﻻ ﳜﺮﺻﻮﻥ‬
imaginations of the mind.

‫( ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﺎﺕ ﺑﻌﻀﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺾ‬١٧


17. Furthermore, the men
and women who are hypocrites ‫ﻳﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﻳﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳌﻌﺮﻭﻑ ﻭﻳﻘﺒﻀﻮﻥ‬
expect depravity from each
other, the cessation of kind ‫ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ ﻧﺴﻮﻧﺎ ﻓﻨﺴﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﳋﲑ ﻓﻬﻢ ﰱ ﺿﻼﳍﻢ‬
deeds and the clenching of .‫ﻳﺮﺗﻌﻮﻥ‬
their fists when it comes to
giving to the poor. They have
abandoned Us, therefore virtue
has abandoned them.
Subsequently, they are crushed
by their folly.

MURDER (Surat AI Qatl)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit,
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
the One and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have reviled us


from among our followers:
‫ ﻣﻦ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
whosoever slays a soul and ‫ﻗﺘﻞ ﻧﻔﺴـﹰﺎ ﻭﻋـﺎﺙ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻓﺴـﺎﺩﹰﺍ‬
causes corruption in the earth
has practically slain the entire ‫ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺟﺌﻨـﺎﻛﻢ‬.‫ﻓﻜﺄﳕﺎ ﻗﺘﻞ ﺍﻟﻨـﺎﺱ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
race of humans at the same
time. We have come to you with
clear instructions concern-ing ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺒﻴﻨـﺎﺕ ﰒ ﺇﻥ ﺃﻛﺜـﺮﻛﻢ ﺑﻌـﺪ ﺫﻟﻚ‬
these matters. Yet, most of you,
even after such instruc-tions, .‫ﳎﺮﻣﻮﻥ‬
are evildoers.

2. Religion is never to be ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﻢ ﺇﻛﺮﺍﻫﹰﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬٢


enforced by the sword upon ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﻒ ﻓﻼ ﺇﻛﺮﺍﻩ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻓﺄﱏ ﻳﻬﺪﻯ‬
those who have gone astray.
"There is no compulsion in ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ؟‬
religion." For if there is, the
hypocrites can unjustly control
the believers!

3. O, people everywhere: We ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻧﺄﻣﺮ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ‬٣


command that love, ‫ﻭﺍﻹﺣﺴﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﺇﻳﺘﺎﺀ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
compassion, charity, justice and
peace be practiced, and that ‫ﻭﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﻧﻨﻬﻰ ﻋﻦ ﺳﻔﻚ ﺍﻟﺪﻣﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬
goodwill should rule Our
worshipers and those who ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻰ ﻧﻌﻈﻜﻢ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ‬
believe. Furthermore, We forbid .‫ﺗﺬﻛﺮﻭﻥ‬
shedding of blood, adultery,
fornication, outrageous
immorality and rape. We
admon-ish you accordingly~
perchance you will remember
these com-mands continuously.

4. Instead, you choose to go


astray and follow the footsteps
of Satan. He is the one who ‫( ﻓﻜﻔﺮﰎ ﻭﺃﺗﺒﻌﺘـﻢ ﺧﻄﻮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ‬٤
commands killing, adultery,
fornication, outrageous im- ‫ﻓﺈﻧﻪ ﻳﺄﻣﺮ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺤﺸـﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐـﻰ‬
morality and rape. None of you
is without sin~ but you are ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺯﻛﻰ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬
totally immersed in hypocrisy. .‫ﻏﺎﺭﻗﻮﻥ‬

5. You have assaulted


houses of worship which were ‫( ﻭﺍﻋﺘﺪﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺑﻴـﻮﺕ ﺃﺫﻧﺎ ﺃﻥ ﺗـﺮﻓﻊ‬٥
built and dedicated to call upon
Our name. You have destroyed ‫ﻭﻳﺬﻛـﺮ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺃﲰﻨـﺎ ﻭﻫﺪﻣﺘـﻢ ﻛﻨﺎﺋﺲ‬
church properties where We
are to be praised morning and ‫ﻭﺑﻴﻌـﺎ ﻳﺴﺒﺢ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻐـﺪ ﻭﺍﻵﺻـﺎﻝ‬
night. You, in fact, continued ‫ﻭﺳﻌﻴﺘـﻢ ﳋﺮﺍﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﻗﺘﻠﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﺗﻨـﲔ‬
your endeavor to dismantle
such buildings, killing at the ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﺗﻠﻜﻢ ﺃﻓﻌـﺎﻝ‬
same time the upright and
faithful of Our followers, .‫ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣـﲔ‬
disregarding Our commands
against such activities which
turns anyone into a blatant
apostate.

6. As for those who do not


add associates to Us, do not
murder their fellowman, which
We have outlawed outright, do
not commit adultery, do not add ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺸـﺮﻛﻮﻥ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻘﺘﻠـﻮﻥ‬٦
partners to their spouses, have
trusted in Us wholeheartedly ‫ﺍﻟﻨﻔـﺲ ﺍﻟﱴ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻗﺘﻠﻬﺎ ﲢـﺮﳝﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺰﻧﻮﻥ‬
and have done righteous
deeds-those are the very ones ‫ﻭﻻ ﻳﺸـﺮﻛﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻭﺍﺟﻬـﻢ ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻋﻤـﻠﻮﺍ‬
whose vile deeds We have ‫ﺻﺎﳊﹰﺎ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻧﺒﺪﻝ ﺳﻴﺌﺎﻬﺗﻢ ﻭﺗﺎﺑﻮﺍ ﻣﺘﺎﺑﹰﺎ‬
removed. Why? Because they
have heartily and truly .‫ﺻﺎﺩﻗﹰﺎ‬
repented.
7. O, you who have gone ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻮ ﺃﻧﻜﻢ‬٧
astray from among Our
creatures had you believed The ‫ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺃﺗﻘﻴﺘﻢ ﻟﻜﻔﺮﻧﺎ ﻋﻨﻜﻢ‬
True Gospel and practiced its .‫ﻼ ﻛﺮﳝﹰﺎ‬
‫ﺳﻴﺌﺎﺗﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺩﺧﻠﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﻣﺪﺧ ﹰ‬
instructions, We would have
redeemed you from your
sinfulness and ushered you to
the entrance which leads to
unnumbered blessings and
abundant life.

8. Had you established The ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﺃﻗﻤﺘﻢ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ‬٨
True Gospel and what We
conveyed through The True ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﳌﺎ ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ ﻵﻣﻄﺮﻧﻜﻢ‬
Furqan, as a substantiation of
what was already in his hands, ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﻟﻔﺎﺿﺖ ﺑﻜﻢ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ‬
then Heaven above would have .‫ﻋﻤﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
rained upon you overwhelming
mercy and earth below would
have flooded you with
overflow-ing blessings.

9. Alas, instead you rejected ‫( ﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﺳﺘﻜﱪﰎ ﻓﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ‬٩
Our signs and became
haughty. Thus, you turned into .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
virtual hypocrites.

10. Furthermore, you fought


Our believing followers, abused ‫( ﻭﺟﺎﻫﺪﰎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﻭﺃﻏﻠﻈﺘﻢ‬١٠
them severely, murdered their
men, but kept their women alive ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻗﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﺭﺟﺎﳍﻢ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﺤﻴﻴﺘـﻢ ﻧﺴﺎﺀﻫﻢ‬
for your sensual pleasure. You
even murdered their children, ‫ﻭﺫﲝﺘﻢ ﺃﺑﻨﺎﺀﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﲣﻨﺘﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻭﺳﻠﺒﺘﻢ‬
caused atrocities in the earth .‫ﺃﻗـﻮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﻴﺘـﺎﻣﻰ ﻭﺍﳌﺴﺎﻛـﲔ‬
and robbed the very morsels of
food from the mouths of
orphans and the poverty-
stricken.

11. Satan has urged you on.


When you murdered people he ‫( ﻭﺣﺮﺿﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﻓﱪﺃﻛﻢ‬١١
exonerated you and accused ‫"ﻭﱂ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻫﻢ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ‬: ‫ﻭﺃﻬﺗﻤﻨﺎ ﻓﺼﺪﻗﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﺇﺫ ﺗﻼ‬
Us of such atrocities. You
believed him when he ‫ﺍﷲ ﻗﺘﻠﻬﻢ " ﻻ ﺗﻌﺘﺬﺭﻭﺍ ﻗﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﺘﻢ‬
announced, "You have not
killed them, but God has ‫ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻓﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﺃﺷﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ‬
killed them." Do not come up .‫ﻭﻓﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
with an excuse. You certainly
have gone astray. You have,
with your own hands committed
murder. You have become
worse than the Devil himself in
apostasy and in committing
atrocities.

12. You have also absolved


your souls, souls that are prone
to performing evil, then accused
Us as the prime mover behind ‫( ﻭﺑﺮﺃﰎ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﺍﻷﻣﺎﺭﺓ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻮﺀ‬١٢
the dastardly deeds. Then you ‫" ﻭﻣﺎ ﺭﻣﻴﺖ ﺇﺫ‬:‫ﻭﺭﻣﻴﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﳉﺮﻡ ﺇﺫ ﺗﻠﻮﰎ‬
recited, "You did not actually
conspire but God did conspire. .‫ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ ﻛﺒﲑﹰﺍ‬."‫ﺭﻣﻴﺖ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﷲ ﺭﻣﻰ‬
" Such declaration is a blatant
lie.
13. You have conspired with ‫( ﻭﺭﻣﻴﺘﻢ ﺑﻴﺪ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺭﻣﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬١٣
Satan and Satan conspired with
you. The end result was that ‫ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﺑﻌﻀﻜﻢ ﻟﺒﻌﺾ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻇﻬﲑﹰﺍ‬
you have collaborated with
each other to demoralize .‫ﻭﻧﺼﲑﹰﺍ‬
humanity. You have become
stout supporters of each other
in this vile conspiracy.

14. Sooner or later everyone ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﳜﺘﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺫﻝ‬١٤
will discover that traitors will
deceive only themselves. Every .‫ﻣﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺧﻮﺍﻧﹰﺎ ﻛﻔﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
blaspheming traitor will be
totally humiliated at the finish
line.

15. Let the whole world know ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﻘﺘﻞ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﺎﺻﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻣﺘﻌﻤﺪﹰﺍ‬١٥
that whosoever murders a .‫ﻓﺠﺰﺍﺅﻩ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﺧﺎﻟﺪﹰﺍ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﻭﺳﻴﺼﻠﻰ ﺳﻌﲑﹰﺍ‬
believer intentionally and
premeditatively , his
punishment will be Hell, not
Heaven, as he is deceptively
told. And in the bottomless pit
he will dwell forever:

1. O, you who have gone ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒـﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻫﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬١
astray, yet still claim to be
count-ed among Our faithful ‫ﺃﻭﻻ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﺯﻏﺘـﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳊـﻖ‬
followers: behold you have ‫ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﺘـﻢ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺃﺳﺄﺗـﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ ﻓﻠﻢ‬
become loyal followers of
deception and have gone " ‫ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬، ‫ﻧﺬﺭﻛـﻢ ﻟﺘﻔﺴـﺪﻭﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ‬
astray from the Truth. You have
implemented deception willingly ‫ﲰﻌﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻃﻌﻨﺎ" ﻭﻣﺎ ﲰﻌﺘـﻢ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨـﺎ ﻭﻣـﺎ‬
and have been mortally ‫ﺃﻃﻌﺘـﻢ ﺃﻣﺮﻧـﺎ ﺑـﻞ ﺃﻃﻌﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ‬
affected. We have not created
you to cause corruption in the ‫ﻭﺃﲣﺬﲤـﻮﻩ ﻭﻟﻴـﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨـﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻄﻴـﻊ‬
earth. You substantiate that
with, "We have heard God's .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
Word and we have been
obedient." Yet you have neither
heard Our Word nor obeyed
Our command. Instead, you
have obeyed the Devil and
have taken him as your
protector apart from Us. None
submits to Satan except the
pagans.

2. You have pronounced that


Abraham and the disciples of ‫ ﺑـﺈﻥ ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴـﻢ ﻭﺍﳊﻮﺍﺭﻳـﲔ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘـﻢ‬٢
Jesus testified that they are
followers of your creed. How ‫ﺷﻬـﺪﻭﺍ ﺑﺄﻬﻧﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﻠﺘﻜـﻢ ﻓﺄﱏ ﻳﺸﻬﺪﻭﻥ‬
can they ever testify concerning ‫ﲟﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﳍـﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠـﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺧﻄـﺮ ﳍﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
your creed which was not
known to them nor has crossed ‫ﺑﺎﻝ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﺆﻣﻨـﻮﻥ ﻭﻟﺴﻨﺘـﺎ ﺣﺎﻓﻈـﻮﻥ‬
their minds? In fact, they
believe in Us and have kept ‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﺑـﺮﺍﺀ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳـﻦ ﻭﻣـﺎ‬
Our divine precepts. Moreover, .‫ﻳﺄﻓﻜﻮﻥ‬
they are liberated from the
blasphemy of the imposters and
certainly do not participate in
fabrication.
3. Only those people who ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺳﻠﻤﻮﺍ ﻟﻨﺎ ﺃﻓﻜﺎﺭﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﻗﻮﺍﳍﻢ‬٣
have surrendered their
thoughts, words, deeds, ‫ﻭﺃﻓﻌﺎﳍﻢ ﻭﻗﻴﺎﺩﻫﻢ ﻭﻭﺟﻮﻫﻬﻢ ﳐﻠﺼﲔ ﻭﲰﻌﻮﺍ‬
leadership, trusted Our Word, ‫ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﺗﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ‬
followed Our divine precepts,
as enunciated in The True ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻫﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺨﻠﺼﻮﻥ ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬
Gospel, and believed in The
True Furqan are Our loyal ‫ﺃﻋﺮﺿﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ‬
subjects indeed. As for those .‫ﺑﺎﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻴﻢ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻷﻣﺮﻩ ﻣﺴﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
who have turned away from
Our divine creed, renounced Us
and trusted Satan, the cursed
one, obviously they have
become ensnared in his trap.

4. Our worshipers and those


who depend on Us are not ‫( ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻋﻴﺎﻟﻨﺎ ﻻ ﺗﻔﺮﻕ ﺑﲔ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﺇﻻ‬٤
differentiated from each other
by Us except by faith, good ‫ﺑﺎﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﻤﻞ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﱀ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺇﺧﻮﺓ‬
works and righteousness. They
are all children of the same ‫ﻷﺏ ﻭﺍﺣﺪ ﻭﺃﻡ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ ﻓﻤﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ ﻭﻣﻨﻬﻢ‬
father and mother. Some ‫ﻣﻦ ﺿﻞ ﻭﺳﻴﻬﺘﺪﻯ ﻣﻦ ﻳﺒﺼﺮ ﻧﻮﺭﻧﺎ ﻓﻬﻮ‬
believe and some do not. But
those who see Our Light will .‫ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺼﲑ‬
also discover Our way because
it is the perfect path to
abundant life.

5. The imposters waged war


against Our servants with the ‫( ﻭﲪﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﻒ‬٥
edge of the sword. Some of Our ‫ﻓﻤﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺳﺘﺴﻠﻢ ﻟﻠﻜﻔﺮ ﺧﻮﻑ ﺍﻟﺴﻴﻒ‬
people were willing to surrender
to unbelief for fear of being cut ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺩﻯ ﻓﺂﻣﻦ ﺑﺎﻟﻄﺎﻏﻮﺕ ﻣﻜﺮﻫﹰﺎ ﻓﺴﻠﻢ ﻭﺿﻞ‬
down by the sword. Others
were spared when they were .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
forced to surrender to
untruthfulness. Tragi-cally such
individuals had to abandon the
True Way.

‫( ﻭﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﺷﺘﺮﻯ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﳉﺰﻳﻪ ﻋﻦ‬٦


6. Some of them kept the
True Religion by paying a .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻳﺪ ﺻﺎﻏﺮﹰﺍ ﺫﻟﻴ ﹰ‬
heavy tribute. Still the
aggressors forced them to
submission and humiliation.

7. True religion, however, has ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺳﻠﻌﺔ ﺇﻻ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬٧
never been on the sale block .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻳﺸﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﻪ ﲦﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
for open bidding-except the
religion of the hypocrites. Even
then such a religion is
worthless.

‫( ﻭﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﲤﺴﻚ ﺑﺎﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﻮﻩ ﰱ‬٨


8. Furthermore, the believers
who determined to hold on to .‫ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﻭﻋﺪﻭﺍ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻧﺼﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
the True Faith were slain by the
sword. By claiming that these
people were killed in the cause
of God, you considered such an
atrocity as a glorious victory for
Us!

9. Killing was never an


inspired command to compel ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﺼﺮﻧﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺘﻞ‬٩
people to accept Our rightly ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺑﻞ ﻧﺼﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺟﺎﺀ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ‬
guided way. Neither have We
ever declared that those who .‫ﻧﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬
kill Our faithful followers are
championed by Us. It is Satan
who enunciates such fanciful
instructions and achieves such
outrageous victories.

10. You have falsely declared ":‫( ﻭﺃﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻓﻘﻠﺘﻢ‬١٠
that We have announced, "You
are not responsible for their ‫ﻟﻴﺲ ﻋﻠﻴﻚ ﻫﺪﺍﻫﻢ ﻭﻟﻜﻨﺎ ﻬﻧﺪﻯ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺸﺎﺀ‬
guidance, for We Ourselves
guide whomever We wish or .‫ﻭﺗﻀﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺸﺎﺀ " ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﻗﻮﻻ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬
misguide whomever We wish."
Such statements are only
fabrications.

‫( ﻓﻠﻮ ﺻﺪﻕ ﻗﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﳌﺎ ﻗﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١١


11. For if your declarations
were the Truth, you certainly ‫ﺍﳌﻬﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﻒ ﻭﺩﻓﻌﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﺳﺘﺤﻴﻴﺘﻢ ﻟﻠﺒﻐﻰ‬
would neither have murdered
Our believing followers by the .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻗﺴﺮﹰﺍ‬
edge of the sword, nor have
forced those whom you have
kept alive into bondage and
depravity.

12. You have falsified that We ‫" ﻗﺎﺗﻠﺔﺍ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻻ‬: ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻨﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬١٢
have announced, "Fight those
who do not follow the True ‫ﻳﺪﻳﻨﻮﻥ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﻭﺗﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺣﱴ‬
Religion from among those who .‫ﻳﻌﻄﻮﺍ ﺍﳉﺰﻳﺔ ﻋﻦ ﻳﺪﻭﻫﻢ ﺻﺎﻏﺮﻭﻥ ﺻﻐﺮﹰﺍ‬
were given the Book until they
pay the tribute underhanded
and have become surrendered
and humble."
13. O, you who have gone ‫ ﺇﳕﺎ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٣
astray from among Our
followers: true religion is the ‫ﻫﻮ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪﻩ‬
religion of The True Gospel and ‫ﻓﻤﻦ ﺍﺑﺘﻐﻰ ﻏﲑ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺩﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﻓﻠﻦ ﻳﻘﺒﻞ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻓﻘﺪ‬
The True Furqan foUowing it.
Whosoever desires any other .‫ﻛﻔﺮ ﺑﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ‬
religion will not be recognized
by Us, for he has renounced
the True Religion outright.

14. The believers in the True ‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺍﺷﺘﺮﻯ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ‬١٤
Religion were forced to ‫ﺑﺄﺭﻭﺍﺣﻬﻢ ﻭﺃﻣﻮﺍﳍﻢ ﺃﻭ ﲜﺰﻳﻪ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﻭﺳﻴﺠﺰﻯ‬
purchase their liberty with their
lives, property or illegal tribute. .‫ﺍﳌﺨﻠﺼﻮﻥ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﺟﻬﺮﹰﺍ‬
Nevertheless, those who are
deemed faithful will be
rewarded openly.

LYING (Surat AI Uk)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ‬٣٣

In the Name ofthe Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. We have conveyed it, a


True Arabic Furqan, articulating
its verses with wisdom. No
‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻋﺮﺑﻴﹰﺎ ﻓﺼﻠﻨﺎ ﺁﻳﺎﺗﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ‬١
mischief can result from its ‫ ﻻ ﻳﺄﺗﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ ﻭﻻ ﻣﻦ‬.‫ﻋﻠﻢ‬
pages from cover to cover. In it
we conveyed to people ‫ﺧﻠﻔﻪ ﻭﺿﺮﺑﻨﺎ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻞ ﻣﺜﻞ ﻟﻌﻠﻬﻢ‬
illustrations of all sorts,
‫ﻳﺬﻛﺮﻭﻥ‬
perchance they will remember
what We proclaimed to them
long ago.

2. We sent The True ‫( ﺑﺸﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﻧﺬﻳﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺃﻛﺜﺮﻫﻢ‬٢


Furqan to Our worshipers who
have gone astray. Our hope is .‫ﺳﻴﻬﺪﻭﻥ‬
that through The True Furqan
most of them will find the True
Way.

3. Whenever Satan wants to ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺃﺭﺍﺩ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻀﻞ ﻗﻮﻣﹰﺎ‬٣


mislead a particular people, he ‫ﺍﺳﺘﺤﻮﺫ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻣﻰ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻓﺄﻏﻮﺍﻩ ﻓﺄﻏﻮﻯ ﻗﻮﻣﻪ‬
deviously gets control of a
brilliant but illiterate person from ‫ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﳍﻢ ﺳﻮﺀ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ ﻓﺄﺿﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺑﻀﻼﳍﻢ‬
among them, then bamboozles
him who in turn beguiles his .‫ﻓﺮﺣﻮﻥ‬
own people. Satan also
glamorizes their evil deeds,
thus, easily misleading them.
Surprisingly, with their illusory
lives they are completely
content.

4. Yet, Satan has led them


headlong into a burning fire.
They blindly march into it
unawares. ‫( ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺩﻫـﻢ ﻧﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﺗﻠﻈـﻰ ﻭﻫـﻢ ﻻ‬٤
.‫ﻳﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
5. We have cautioned Our
believing worshipers
concerning counterfeit prophets ‫( ﻭﺣﺬﺭﻧﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻷﻧﺒﻴﺎﺀ‬٥
and Satanic verses.
.‫ﺍﻷﻓﺎﻛﲔ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺎﻃﲔ‬
6. We admonished, "Such ate ‫( ﺫﺋﺎﺏ ﰱ ﺟﻠﻮﺩ ﲪﻼﻥ ﻳﺒﻄﻨﻮﻥ ﻣﺎﻻ‬٦
in fact wolves in sheep's
clothing. They cover up what .‫ﻳﻈﻬﺮﻭﻥ‬
can normally be quite obvious."

‫( ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻟﺴﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻭﻣﻦ‬٧


7. Furthermore, they
an-nounce with their tongues .‫ﲦﺎﺭ ﺃﻓﻌﺎﳍﻢ ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
what is not truly within their
hearts. "From the fruits of their
labors they shall surely be
known."

8. Delicious feasting comes ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻷﻛﻞ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﺠﺮﺓ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺒﺔ‬٨


from the fruit of a good tree.
Unsavory fruit is the product of ‫ ﻓﻼ ﺗﺆﺗﻰ‬.‫ﻭﺍﻷﻛﻞ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﺠﺮﺓ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺜﺔ‬
a bad tree. Therefore, a good
tree will not produce vile fruit; .‫ﺷﺠﺮﺓ ﻃﻴﺒﺔ ﺃﻛﻼ ﺧﺒﻴﺜﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺜﺔ ﻃﻴﺒﹰﺎ‬
neither will the unsavory tree
produce good fruit.

9. Every tree which will not ‫ﻼ ﻃﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﲡﺘﺚ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺭ‬


‫( ﻛﻞ ﺷﺠﺮﺓ ﻻ ﺗﺆﺗﻰ ﺃﻛ ﹰ‬٩
bring forth good fruit will .‫ﺣﻄﺒﹰﺎ‬
absolutely be cut down and
used as fuel for burning.

10. Be very cautious of the


imposter and the Satanic ‫( ﻓﺎﺣﺬﺭﻭﻫـﻢ ﻓﻤـﻦ ﲦﺎﺭ ﺃﻓﻌﺎﳍـﻢ‬١٠
verses. Yes, they will be
recognized by the fruits of their .‫ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
labor, whether these prophets
and verses are authentic or
counterfeit.
11. You have also ‫" ﺗﻌﺎﻭﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻭﻻ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬١١
announced, "Assist each other
in performing kind and ."‫ﺗﻌﺎﻭﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
righteous deeds. Do not
support anyone in doing evil or
wickedness. "

12. Alas, you did not support ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻌﺎﻭﻧﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﺑﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ‬١٢
each other in performing kind
and ‫ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﻭﺳﺮﻗﺘﻢ ﻭﺯﻧﻴﺘﻢ ﻭﺗﻠﻜﻢ‬
righteous deeds, but in
executing evil and wickedness. .‫ﺃﻛﱪ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﻟﻮ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ‬
Matter of fact, you murdered,
swindled and committed
atrocities. Are you not
cognizant of the fact that such
evil deeds are the most
degenerate of wicked deeds?

13. We commanded you in


The True Gospel that you must ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻻﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﻻ ﺗﺮﺗﻜﺒﻮﺍ‬١٣
not be involved in the ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﻭﻻ ﺍﻟﺼﻐﺎﺋﺮ ﻭﺃﻥ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬
degenerate deeds of
wickedness, neither in the .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﺗﻨﺒﺬﻭﺍ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
lesser evils. Furthermore, you
were to believe and practice the
precepts of love, compassion
and peace and reject the
precepts of the ungodly.

14. Believing with the tongue ‫( ﻓﺈﳝﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﺑﻮﺍﺭ ﺍﻹﻧﺴﺎﻥ ﻓﺘﺒﹰﺎ‬١٤
only brings about the
destruction of any human. ‫ﻟﻸﻓﺎﻛﲔ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﻣﻼ ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ‬
Wretched the counterfeiters
who make lofty declarations .‫ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ‬
with their tongues, but never
practice them. They are
pretenders for certain.

15. Mystifying as it is, there


are some hypocrites who
‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﳚﺎﺩﻝ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬١٥
debate the true believers, .‫ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺕ ﺑﻐﲑ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﻳﺘﺒﻊ ﻛﻞ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﺮﻳﺪ‬
without the slightest knowledge
of The Truth.
Assuredly, such people follow
Satan, the rebellious one.

16. As for those who have


written "scripture" by their own
‫ ﻭﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬،‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﺘﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ ﻣﺎ ﲰﻌﻮﺍ‬١٦
hands, pretending "such was ‫ﻼ ﻓﻮﻳﻞ ﳍﻢ‬
‫ﻫﺬﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﷲ ﻟﻴﺸﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﲦﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
from God" in order to gain
some' material things, We say, .‫ﳑﺎ ﻛﺘﺒﺖ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ ﻭﻭﻳﻞ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺄﻓﻜﻮﻥ‬
"Woe unto them for what their
hands have written. Woe, also,
unto everyone else who
fabricates falsehood. "

17. O, you who are


‫ ﻻ‬: ‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١٧
pretenders who still consider ‫ﺗﻐﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺩﻳﻨﻜﻢ ﻏﲑ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﺗﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﺃﻫﻮﺍﺀ‬
themselves part of Our
followers: do not announce ‫ﻗﻮﻡ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻗﻠﺒﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻛﺜﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻮﻛﻢ‬
anything in your religion except
the Truth. For you have
.‫ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﻷﺧﺴﺮﻭﻥ‬
appar-ently followed the whims
of the ancients who have gone
ahead of you. Are you even
aware that they have misguided
you too? Thus, you ended up
being the defrauded ones.
18. Apparently you are
captivated by fairytales. You ‫( ﲰﺎﻋﻮﻥ ﻟﻠﻜﺬﺏ ﲰﺎﻋﻮﻥ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﺁﺧﺮﻳﻦ‬١٨
enjoy listening to other people ‫ﺣﺮﻓﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﻮﺍﺿﻌﻪ ﻭﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻗﺪ‬
who have intentionally
corrupted the Scripture. They ‫ﺃﻭﺗﻴﺘﻢ ﻫﺬﺍ ﻓﺨﺬﻭﻩ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺗﻴﺘﻢ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻓﺎﺣﺬﺭﻭﻩ‬
tell you, "You have been given
this by inspiration. Accept it and ‫ﻓﺂﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻓﻌﻞ‬
you must follow whatever .‫ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ‬
instruc-tions are therein."
Therefore you accepted
falsehood, but rejected the
truth. Such behavior
demon-strates absolute
ignorance.

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. Satan dressed up
decep-tion with a garment of ‫( ﻭﺃﻟـﺒﺲ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃـﻞ ﺛﻮﺏ ﺍﳊﻖ‬١
truth and covered up
wickedness with a robe of ‫ﻭﺃﺿﻔﻰ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻈﻠـﻢ ﺟﻠﺒﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻌـﺪﻝ ﻭﻗﺎﻝ‬
justice declaring to his
followers, "I am the one and
‫" ﺃﻧﺎ ﺭﺑﻜـﻢ ﺍﻷﺣﺪ ﱂ ﺃﻟﺪ ﻭﱂ ﺃﻭﻟﺪ‬:‫ﻷﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ‬
only lord of yours who has not ."‫ﻭﱂ ﻳﻜﻦ ﱃ ﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻛﻔﻮﹰﺍ ﺃﺣﺪ‬
given birth to anyone, neither
was I born from anyone. And
amongst you there is no equal
to me.
2. "Therefore, I am the mighty
dictator, the proud, the ‫(" ﻓﺄﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻠﻚ ﺍﳉﺒﺎﺭ ﺍﳌﺘﻜﱪ ﺍﻟﻘﻬﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﺑﺾ‬٢
conqueror, the controller, the ‫ﺍﳌﺬﻝ ﺍﳌﻤﻴﺖ ﺍﳌﻨﺘﻘﻢ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﺭ ﺍﳌﻐﲎ ﻓﺈﻳﺎﻯ‬
one who brings others into
subjection, the one who kills, ."‫ﺗﻌﺒﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺇﻳﺎﻯ ﺗﺴﺘﻌﻴﻨﻮﻥ‬
the avenger, the deceiver, the
hurtful, the enrich-ing one.
Thus, I alone must you worship
and I alone must you seek for
succor.

‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻋﺪﺩﺕ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﲡﺮﻯ ﻣﻦ ﲢﺘﻬﺎ‬٣


3. "1 have personally
prepared gardens for you ‫ﺍﻷﻬﻧﺎﺭ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﲬﺮ ﻭﻭﻟﺪﺍﻥ ﻭﻧﺴﺎﺀ ﻭﺣﻮﺭ ﻋﲔ‬
where water flows beneath and
a river of wine. There are also .‫ﻭﻛﻞ ﻣﺎ ﺗﺸﺘﻬﻮﻥ‬
handsome boys and charming
maidens. The maidens are
endowed with captivating eyes.'
The gardens include everything
your appetites may desire. "

4. How awful is Satan as ‫( ﺃﻻ ﺳﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﺳﺎﺀﺕ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻪ ﻭﻧﺒﺄ‬٤


lord! How vile are his gardens!
And wretched are his followers .‫ﻷﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
for they are reprobate pagans.

5. We have commanded Our


worshipers to refrain from ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻻ ﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺮﻗﻮﺍ‬٥
killing, stealing and sexual sins.
Additionally, they are to stay .‫ﻭﻻ ﻳﺰﻧﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺄﺗﻮﺍ ﺇﲦﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻓﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
away from wickedness and
immorality.
6. Then came the imposters
who still claim that they belong ‫( ﻓﺠﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻳﺎﻣﺮﻭﻥ‬٦
to Our followers. They demand ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﳛﻠﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﳌﻐﺎﱎ ﻭﻳﺒﻴﺤﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
that you should fight, allow the
spoils of war to be acceptable . ‫ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺃﻧﺎ ﻧﺴﺨﻨﺎ ﻗﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﺪﻟﻨﺎ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬
reward and permit polygamy.
They emphatically state that ‫ﻭﻟﻦ ﳚﺪ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻟﻘﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻧﺴﺨﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻟﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬
We said so and that We have .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺗﺒﺪﻳ ﹰ‬
abrogated what was declared
earlier and changed Our
Criterion. Yet, no imposter
would ever discover any
abrogation to Our statements or
altering of Our decrees.

7. O, you who have lost your ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺗﺒﺸﺮﻭﻥ‬٧
way from among Our ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﻭﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﰱ‬

glad tidings to yourselves of ‫ ﻓﻤﺎ‬.‫ ﻟﻘﺪ ﺿﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﺇﺫ ﺻﺪﻗﺘﻢ ﺑﺴﺮﺍﻛﻢ‬. ‫ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ‬

You have pitifully lost your way . ‫ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻣﻼﺫﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﻘﺘﻠﻪ ﻭﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
by believing such demonic

love and peace for certain.
Besides, Our paradise has
never been a hiding place for
murderers and criminals.

8. The fake prophet who


claimed to bring glad tidings
has proclaimed falsehood and
the hope of those who preach ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻓـﻚ ﺍﻟﺒﺸﲑ ﻭﺧـﺎﺏ ﻇـﻦ‬٨
such deception will definitely
dry up. .‫ﺍﳌﺒﺸـــــــﺮﻳﻦ‬
9. You have gone through
the earth spoiling and ‫( ﻭﺳﻌﻴﺘﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﺗﻔﺴﺪﻭﻥ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﻭﻬﺗﻠﻜﻮﻥ‬٩

you, "Fear God," instead of .‫ﺃﺧﺬﺗﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻌﺰﺓ ﺑﺎﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ‬

1. O, people everywhere: We ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺇﻧﺎ ﺧﻠﻘﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻧﻔﺲ ﻭﺍﺣﺪﺓ‬١


have created you from one
seed and have revealed the ‫ﻭﻫﺪﻳﻨﺎﻛﻢ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﻓﺎﻧﺘﻢ ﺇﺧﻮﺓ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ‬
straight path to you. Therefore,
you are all brothers. Tragically,
‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﺮﻗﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺿﻞ ﻃﺎﺋﻔﺔ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺑﺚ‬
Satan has separated you, led ‫ﺍﻟﻌﺪﺍﻭﺓ ﰱ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﺇﺧﻮﺗﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺯﻟﺘﻢ‬
astray a group from among you
and sowed the seeds of discord .‫ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ‬
in your very souls. The
poisonous effect of his
instructions was that you
mur-dered your fellowman then,
and you continue to do that.
2. In Our Commandments we ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺃﻻ ﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﳛﻨﻘﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ‬٢
declared to Our followers not to
kill. Even to become angry at ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺣﻨﻖ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻧﺎﻝ ﻋﻘﺎﺑﹰﺎ‬.‫ﺃﺣﺪ ﺃﺑﺪﹰﺍ‬
anyone is unlawful and
whoso-ever becomes resentful ‫ ﺃﻭ ﻗﺎﻝ ﻟﻪ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺧﺒﻴﺜﺔ ﺍﺳﺘﺤﻖ ﻧﺎﺭ‬.‫ﻣﺮﻳﺮﹰﺍ‬
will be severely punished. In .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﻭﺳﺎﺀ ﺩﻟﻴ ﹰ‬
fact, if he pronounced an evil
curse on his brother, his
punishment will be banishment
and his end unenvia-ble as
revealed in The True Gospel.

3. Certainly the tiny tongue .‫( ﻓﺈﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﺴﺆﻭ ﹰﻻ‬٣
has equal responsibility for
such activities.

4. We have created the soul ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﻭﻫﺒﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻭﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﺮﺟﻌﻬﺎ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ‬٤
and to Us, therefore, the soul at
the very end must return. Thus, .‫ﻗﺘﻠﻬﺎ ﲢﺮﳝﹰﺎ‬
We have emphatically
forbidden murdering another
human being anywhere,
anytime-except in a justifiable
national war.

‫( ﻓﺈﱏ ﲢﻠﻠﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﲞﺎﻟﻘﻴﻬﻢ‬٥


5. How then can you
sanction what We have never .‫ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﺮﺍﺟﻌﲔ‬
permitted? You have not
created mankind neither shall
they return to you at the end of
their lives. Therefore, you have
overstepped your authority.
6. Repent from such evil, trust ‫( ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﺣﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﻌﻀﻜﻢ ﺑﻌﻀﹰﺎ‬٦
and love one another. Love ‫ﻭﺃﺣﺒﻮﺍ ﺃﻋﺪﺍﺀﻛﻢ ﻓﺘﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺑﻨﺎﺋﻨـﺎ‬
even your enemies, for when
you practice that you will truly .‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ‬
become the Children of God.

7. We shine our sun over the


believers and the unbelievers
alike. We also send Our rain ‫( ﻭﺗﺸﺮﻕ ﺑﺎﻟﺸﻤﺲ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬٧
over the righteous and the ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﻧﻐﺪﻕ ﺍﻟﻐﻴﺚ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻷﺑﺮﺍﺭ‬
unrighteous alike. With these
natural bless-ings we .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻄﺎﳊﲔ ﻓﺎﺗﻌﻈﻮﺍ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﻬﺗﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
demonstrate our unconditional
love; perchance you will yield
and follow our precepts.

8. As for those who have


believed in The True Gospel ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻋﻤﻠﻮﺍ‬٨
and have done righteous
deeds, We consider them the ‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﺎﺕ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺧﲑ ﺍﻟﱪﻳﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬
cream of Our creation. But
those who have rejected Us ‫ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺭﺳﻠﻪ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ‬
and trusted Satan and his .‫ﺷﺮ ﺍﻟﱪﻳﺔ ﺃﲨﻌﲔ‬
messengers, We consider them
the worst of Our creation.

9. We have inspired the Light


of Truth prior to the appearance
of darkness. We appeal to each
of you, return to the true and ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻧﻮﺭ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻇﻼﻡ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ‬٩
tried pathway. Harken to Our ‫ﻓﺎﺭﺟﻌﻮﺍ ﺍﱃ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﻟﻘﺪﱘ ﻭﺍﲰﻌﻮﺍ ﻭﺗﻮﺑﻮﺍ‬
Word. Repent from your
‫ﻟ‬
worldliness. Follow Our
precepts. We certainly forgive
everyone who will repent, for
We are loving and forgiving.

10. Furthermore, do not ‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﳍﻢ ﻳﻐﻔﺮ‬١٠


avenge yourselves from your
enemies. Instead, seek .‫ﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻐﻔﺮ ﳌﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻐﻔﺮﻭﻥ ﻟﻠﻤﺬﻧﻴﲔ‬
forgive-ness for them. Because
of such a loving disposition you
yourselves will be forgiven. No
forgiveness is granted to those
who will not forgive the guilty.

11. Our precept is love and ‫( ﻓﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻐﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺍﻹﻧﺘﻘﺎﻡ‬١١
forgiveness, not killing and .‫ﻓﻠﻴﻬﺘﺪ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﻓﻠﻮﻥ‬
vengefulness. Let those who
have gone astray return quickly
to Our pathway.

‫( ﻭﲣﺎﺩﻋﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ ﲣﺎﺩﻋﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ‬١٢


12. The truth is, when you
practice deception in dealing .‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﻷﺧﺴﺮﻭﻥ‬
with the believers, you are
deceiving yourselves. You are
absolutely the losers.

13. Whenever you are ‫ "ﻻ ﺗﻔﺴـﺪﻭﺍ ﰱ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻜـﻢ‬١٣
instruc-ted, "Do not cause ‫ "ﺇﳕﺎ ﳓﻦ ﻣﺼﻠﺤﻮﻥ" ﺇﻻ ﺇﻧﻜﻢ‬:‫ﻗﻠﺘـﻢ‬."‫ﺍﻷﺭﺽ‬
corruption in the earth," you
counter, "We are repairers of .‫ﺍﳌﻔﺴﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﳌﻔﺴﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﻻ ﺗﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
the earth." The fact is, you are
the corrupters. Somehow, you
are unaware of the fallacy of
your point of view.

14. Whenever you are ‫ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﻗﻴﻞ‬١٤


instructed, "Follow The True
Criterion and believe in The ‫ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﺳﺘﻜﱪﰎ ﻭﺻﺪﺩﰎ ﻋﻨﻪ‬
True Furqan," you haughtily .‫ﺻﺪﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬
jettison such instructions and
renounce them.

‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺇﳕﺎ ﺗﺘﻠﻰ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ‬١٥


15.O, people everywhere: We
warn you. The Satanic verses ‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻣﻀﻠﻼﺕ ﻟﻴﺨﺮﺟﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﺇﱃ‬
are recited in your hearing.
They are deception aimed at ‫ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﻓﻼ ﺗﺘﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﻭﺣﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﲣﺬﻭﻩ‬
leading you astray. They are .‫ﻋﺪﻭﹰﺍ ﻟﺪﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬
intended to bring you out of the
realm of light to an abysmal
night. Do not follow the
linguistically lofty Satanic
verses~ instead, consider their
author, Satan, your worst of
enemies.

FASTING (Surat Al Siyam)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺼﻴﺎﻡ‬٣٦
In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. Whosoever performs a ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﺣﺴﻦ ﺣﺴﻨﺔ ﻓﻼ ﳚﻌﻠﻦ ﻳﺴﺎﺭﻩ ﺗﻌﻠﻢ‬١
worthwhile deed should not
allow even his left hand to know . ‫ﻣﺎ ﻓﻌﻠﺖ ﺍﻟﻴﻤﲔ‬
what his right hand has done.

2. For We have knowledge of ‫( ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻧﻌﻠﻢ ﻣﺎ ﺗﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﺧﻔﻴﺔ ﻭﺛﻴﺒﻜﻢ ﻋﻼﻧﻴﺔ‬٢


whatever you do secretly and .‫ﺑﻌﲔ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
will recompense you openly in
the sight of the whole world.

3. O, you who are hypo-crites, ‫ ﺇﻥ ﺻﻴﺎﻣﻜﻢ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٣


yet still count yourselves among
Our worshipers: your fasting is .‫ﻏﲑ ﻣﻘﺒﻮﻝ ﻟﺪﻳﻨﺎ ﻭﻏﲑ ﳑﻨﻮﻥ‬
not acceptable to Us and will
not be rewarded.

4. Fasting was not designed


just to feel the pangs of hunger .‫( ﻓﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺼﻮﻡ ﺗﻀﻮﺭﺍ ﻷﺟﻞ ﻣﻌﻠﻮﻡ‬٤
periodically.

5. As a matter of fact, you


consume more food when ‫( ﺗﺘﺨﻤﻮﻥ ﺻﻮﻣﹰﺎ ﺃﻛﺜﺮ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻔﺎﻃﲑ‬٥
fasting than when you are on
regular diets. You devour food .‫ﻭﻛﺎﻷﻏﻨﺎﻡ ﺗﻄﻌﻤﻮﻥ‬
ferocious-ly just like brute
creatures.
6. You exhaust your bodies ‫( ﺗﺮﻫﻘﻮﻥ ﺃﺟﺴﺎﺩﻛﻢ ﻭﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ ﻬﻧﻤﹰﺎ‬٦
and souls as you eat hungrily,
as if you have never eaten ‫ﻓﻜﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻃﻌﻤﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻭﻟﻦ ﺗﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ‬
before and you will never eat
again. .‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﻃﺎﻋﻤﲔ‬

7. Furthermore, you greedily


consume the entire year's ‫( ﻭﺗﺄﻛﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺴﻨﺔ ﰱ ﺷﻬﺮ ﺟﺸﻌﹰﺎ ﻟﻀﻤﺌﻜﻢ‬٧
produce in one month, because ‫ﻭﺗﻀﻮﺭﻛﻢ ﻓﺨﲑ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺃﻻ ﺗﺼﻮﻣﻮﺍ ﻓﺈﻧﻪ ﻻ ﺃﺟﺮ‬
you are craving and yearning
for nutrition. It is certainly ‫ﻟﻠﻀﻤﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﺘﻀﻮﺭﻳﻦ‬
advisable for you not to
participate in fasting for there is
no recognition for the thirsty
and hungry physically.

8. You actually put a frown on ‫( ﻭﺗﻜﻠﺤﻮﻥ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻜﻢ ﻭﺗﺼﻌﺮﻭﻥ ﺧﺪﻭﺩﻛﻢ‬٨


your faces and discolor your
cheeks so others can observe ‫ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﻟﺘﻈﻬﺮﻭﺍ ﺻﺎﺋﻤﲔ ﺇﳕﺎ ﻳﻔﻌﻞ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ‬
that you are fasting. Hypocrites,
those are the ones who .‫ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ‬
practice this sort of thing.

9. True fasting is the


cessation of the heart, the ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﻴﺎﻡ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺻﻴﺎﻡ ﺍﻟﻘﻠﺐ ﻭﺍﻟﻠﺴﺎﻥ‬٩
tongue, the hand and the eye
from transacting wickedness, ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻴﺪ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻰ‬
vileness and immorality,
whether you are famished or .‫ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺃﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺟﻴﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﻣﺘﺨﻤﲔ‬
full.
37
THE TREASURE (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻜﱰ‬٣٧
Kanz)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have gone ‫ ﺇﻥ ﺗﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ‬١


astray, yet still claim to be
counted among Our ‫ﻳﺘـﺐ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌـﻮﺍ ﺍﳍـﺪﻯ ﻭﺍﳊﻘﻮﺍ‬
worshipers: if you acknowledge
Us, then relent from doing evil,
‫ﺑﺎﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻓﻠﻴـﺲ ﻣﻦ ﻳﺘﺒـﻊ ﻫﻮﺍﻩ ﺑﺪﺍﺧﻞ‬
you will be forgiven. So, follow ‫ﻣﻠﻜـﻮﺕ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﻭﺍﺕ ﻭﻣﺎﻣﺘـﺎﻉ ﺍﳊﻴـﺎﺓ‬
the right pathway and emulate
the believers. No one who ‫ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﺳـﻮﻯ ﺯﺧﺮﻑ ﺑﺮﺍﻕ ﻳﺼﺪﻛﻢ ﻋﻦ‬
follows his own whim will ever
enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
.‫ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻼ ﻬﺗﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
All the materials that this world
has to offer are no more than
brightly shining trinkets. They
only rebuff you from the straight
way to keep you from finding
Our pathway.

2. For that reason, do not ‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﻜﺘﱰﻭﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻛﱰﹰﺍ ﻳﺎﻛﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﺴﻮﺱ‬٢


stash for yourselves a treasure
which can be eaten by the ‫ ﺑﻞ ﺍﻛﱰﻭﺍ‬.‫ﻭﻳﺘﻠﻔﻪ ﺍﻟﺼﺪﺃ ﻭﻳﺴﺮﻗﻪ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﺭﻗﻮﻥ‬
cankerworm, or rust, or can be
stolen by thieves. Instead, store
‫ﰱ ﺍﻷﺧﺮﻯ ﺣﻴﺚ ﻻ ﺳﻮﺱ ﻭﻻ ﺻﺪﺃ ﻭﻻ‬
up treasures in the better world .‫ﻳﺴﺮﻗﻪ ﺳﺎﺭﻗﻮﻥ‬
where there is no cankerworm,
neither rust, nor thieves who
can steal.
3. Will anyone from among ‫( ﺃﻳﺮﺿﻰ ﺃﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺗﺴﱮ ﻧﺴﺎﺅﻩ‬٣
you be willing to be killed, his ‫ﻭﺗﻨﻬﺐ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﻟﻪ ﻓﺈﱏ ﺗﺮﺿﻮﻧﻪ ﻟﻐﲑﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
women taken captives or his
properties raided? Then how ‫ ﻭﻓﺪ ﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﻥ ﺗﻌﺎﻣﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﻳﻦ ﻛﻤﺎ ﲢﺒﻮﻥ‬.
can you wish this upon your
fellowman? We have .!‫ﺃﻥ ﻳﻌﺎﻣﻠﻜﻢ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﻭﻥ‬
commanded that you treat
others just as you yourselves
wish to be treated.

‫( ﺫﻟﻜﻢ ﻫﻮ ﻛﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻳﻌﺔ ﻭﺑﻪ ﺑﻌﺜﻨﺎ ﺍﻷﻧﺒﻴﺎﺀ‬٤


4. For such is the heart of the
Criterion. This Truth is what We .‫ﻭﺍﳌﺮﺳﻠﲔ‬
have commissioned Our
messengers and prophets to
proclaim throughout the ages to
all peoples and in all places.

5. Your forefathers must have ‫( ﻭﲰﻊ ﺁﺑﺎﺅﻛـﻢ ﺳﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٥


heard of this Criterion in The
True Gospel, but they did not ‫ﻓﻠﻢ ﻳﺘﺒﻌـﻮﻫﺎ ﺑﻞ ﺭﺍﺣـﻮﺍ ﻳﻘﺘﻠـﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬
comply. Noticeably, they
proceeded to kill people, take ‫ﻭﻳﺴﺒـﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ ﻭﻳﺴﻠﺒﻮﻥ ﺍﻷﻣﻮﺍﻝ ﻭﻗﺪ‬
women captive and seize their ‫ﺍﺗﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺃﻭﺣـﻴﻨﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻬـﻢ‬
properties. Your forefathers
even fabricated the lies which .‫ﺑﺄﻓﻌﺎﻻﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
proclaimed that We had
inspired them to perform the
works of depraved criminals.
6. Behold, anyone who ‫( ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻔﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﳍﻮ ﺃﻛﻔﺮ‬٦
fabricates lies about Us is the
worst of imposters and is .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻭﱃ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ‬
definitely a cohort of Satan, the
accursed one. But We are the
mighty and the merciful.

38
THE PROPHETS (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻷﻧﺒﻴﺎﺀ‬٣٨
Anbeya)

. In the Name of the Father,


the Word, the Holy Spirit, the
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
One and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have


blasphemed and gone astray, ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
yet claim to still be among Our
worshipers: you fabricate a ‫ﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﻟﺘﺮﺩﺩﻭﻥ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﻟﻐﻮﹰﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺷﻌﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻻ‬
statement, then recite it. One
quickly learns that it is neither
.‫ﺗﺘﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﺳﺪﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬
poetry nor prose; at times it is
not even nuggets of pithy
sayings.

2. It is so often no more than


gibberish repeated redundantly .‫( ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻟﻐﻮ ﻣﺮﺩﺩ ﺗﺮﺩﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬٢
and incoherently .
3. Once understood the
words terrify Our followers ‫( ﻳﺮﻏﺐ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺑﻌﲔ ﺗﺮﻏﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﻳﻬﺪﺩ ﺍﳌﻌﺮﺿﲔ‬٣
grievously and threaten even .‫ﻬﺗﺪﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬
the defiant fearfully.

‫( ﺣﺴﻦ ﻭﻗﻌﹰﺎ ﰱ ﻧﻔﻮﺱ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٤


4. The rhyming words found
favor even in the souls of Our .‫ﻭﺃﺳﺘﻤﺮﺃﻩ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﻮﻥ‬
worshipers who have gone
astray, yet claim they belong to
Us. Surprisingly, even the
ignorant seem to fall for it.

5. It is more or less like ‫( ﺳﻢ ﰱ ﺩﺳﻢ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺃﻛﺜﺮﻫﻢ ﻻ ﻳﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬٥


poison hidden in the heart of
tasty dishes of food. Yet this .‫ﻓﻼ ﻳﺒﻐﻮﻥ ﻋﻨﻪ ﳏﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
fact is not realized by most of
them. Thus, they do not make
an effort whatsoever to avoid it.

6. We have indeed
forewarn-ed Our followers ‫( ﻭﺣﺬﺭﻧﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻞ‬٦
concerning the imposters
stating, "By their fruits you will ‫ ﻓﻬﻞ ﳚﲎ ﻣﻦ‬.‫ﺍﻷﻓﺎﻛﲔ ﻓﻤﻦ ﲦﺎﺭﻫﻢ ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
know them." Is it really feasible
to produce grapes from a thorn .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻮﻙ ﺍﻟﻌﻨﺐ ﺃﻭ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳊﺴﻚ ﺍﻟﺘﲔ‬
bush or figs from a thistle?
7. The declarations of the ‫( ﺃﻗﻮﺍﻝ ﻳﺮﺗﻌﺪ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻫﻠﻌﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ‬٧
imposters cause Our faithful ‫ﺍﻟﺘﻘﺘﻴﻞ ﻭﻧﻔﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﺰﻭ ﻭﺃﻧﻔﹰﺎ ﻣﻨﺠﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬
followers sheer terror because
of instructions to commit ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
murder. They react with
distaste to orders for attacking
others and feel some anxiety
from the idea of a paradise full
of sexual immorality and
debauchery.

8. Whenever Our faithful ‫( ﻓﺈﺫﺍ ﲰﻌﻮﺍ ﺍﻗﺸﻌﺮﺕ ﺃﺑﺪﺍﻬﻧﻢ ﻓﺮﻗﹰﺎ‬٨


followers hear of such
pronounce-ments their physical .‫ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﺎﺫﻭﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻴﻢ‬
bodies trem-ble violently out of
disgust, seeking refuge in Us
from Satan, the cursed one.

9. There is no welcome at the


portals of paradise for those ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺩﺧﻞ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻛﺮﺭ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ ﻟﻐﻮﹰﺍ ﻭﺃﻣﺎ‬٩
who merely repeat prescribed
prayers. Paradise is prepared ‫ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻋﻤﻠﻮﺍ ﲟﺸﻴﺌﺘﻨﺎ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
instead for those who have ‫ﺍﳌﻔﻠﺤﻮﻥ ﳍﻢ ﻣﻘﺎﻡ ﰱ ﺍﳌﻠﻜﻮﺕ ﻭﻻ ﺧﻮﻑ‬
performed Our divine will. Such
people are truly triumphant .‫ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﻳﻨﺪﻣﻮﻥ‬
servants of Ours. They attain a
lofty place in the Kingdom. No
fear is associated within them;
neither are they among the
regretful.
10. One's personal opinion ‫ ﻭﻣﺎ‬. ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻻ ﻳﻐﲎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ‬١٠
can never take the place of
Truth. Peace, for instance, is ‫ﻻﺳﻼﻡ ﻛﺎﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ ﻭﻟﻴﺲ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻠﻘﻰ ﺃﺧﺎﻩ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻦ‬
nothing like warfare. Neither is ‫ﺑﻐﺼﻦ ﺯﻳﺘﻮﻥ ﻛﻤﻦ ﻳﺸﺮﻉ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺳﻴﻔﹰﺎ ﻓﻴﻘﺘﻠﻪ‬
the man who welcomes his
believing brother with an olive .‫ﺫﻟﻚ ﺃﻧﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
branch like the one who
welcomes him with a drawn
sword and kills him. For such
an individual is counted among
the infidels.

11. You have annulled with


your gibberish what The Torah ‫( ﻭﻣﺴﺤﺘﻢ ﺑﻠﻐﻮﻛﻢ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺭﺍﺓ ﻭﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬١١
and The True Gospel declared
by camouflaging truth with lies ‫ﻼ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﺃﻗﻮﺍ ﹰﻻ ﻣﺎ‬
‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﻃ ﹰ‬
and faith with forgery. You have . ‫ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ‬
even fabricated proclamations
in Our name which We have
never authorized.

12. The sneaking whisperer,


Satan, impersonated Us and
whispered into the hearts of his ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﺘﺤﻞ ﺍﻟﻮﺳﻮﺍﺱ ﺍﳋﻨﺎﺱ ﺍﲰﻨﺎ ﻭﻭﺳﻮﺱ‬١٢
devotees false scriptures which ‫ﰱ ﺻﺪﻭﺭ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻟﻘﻰ ﰱ ﺭﻭﻋﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻬﺑﺖ‬
were fun of blasphemy and lies.
Because he frightened them ‫ﻭﻛﻔﺮﻭﻫﻢ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﻮﻩ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﺑﻌﻀﻬﻢ ﻟﺒﻌﺾ‬
into surrendering to him, they
believed him and thus became .‫ﻧﺼﲑﹰﺍ‬
supporters of each other in this
folly.
13. Additionally, Satan
instru-cted them to perform ‫( ﻭﺃﻣﺮﻫﻢ ﺑﺎﳌﻌﺮﻭﻑ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻭﻬﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﻋﻦ‬١٣
good deeds and forewarned ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻰ ﻗﻮﻻ ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ ﻭﺣﻠﻠﻪ ﳍﻢ‬
them concerning debauchery,
gross sins and rape. But those .‫ﻼ ﻣﻔﻌﻮ ﹰﻻ‬
‫ﻼ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﻓﻌ ﹰ‬
‫ﲢﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
instructions were mere words,
for he sanctioned an of the vile
sins beguilingly. Conse-quently,
his devotees practiced an of the
above vices dedicatedly and
frequently.

14. Furthermore, Satan ‫( ﻭﺃﻏﻮﻯ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌﻮﻩ ﻭﺃﰉ‬١٤


en-ticed the illiterates from
among Our Worshipers. They .‫ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻭﻛﻔﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
followed him headlong even
though they would normally
reject going astray.

‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺻﺪﻕ ﺇﺑﻠﻴﺲ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻇﻨﻪ ﺇﺫ ﺃﺗﺒﻌﻮﻩ‬١٥


15. Satan cunningly proved
his assessment of these ‫ﻭﺍﻣﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻧﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
illiterates because they willing
followed his guiles. Yet, Satan ‫ﻼ ﻓﻬﻢ ﲟﺎ‬
‫ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﻏﻮﺍﻫﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺑﺪﺩ ﳍﻢ ﴰ ﹰ‬
could not beguile the true .‫ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻮﻗﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﲝﺒﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻌﺘﺼﻤﻮﻥ‬
believers. Neither does he have
authority over them. He could
neither trick them nor attract
them with his promises.
Instead, they held on to Our
revealed Truth and tightly
clasped Our lifeline.
16. We did not enunciate any
prediction to the children of ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺑﺸﺮﻧﺎ ﺑﲎ ﺇﺳﺮﺍﺋﻴﻞ ﺑﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﻳﺄﺗﻰ ﻣﻦ‬١٦
Israel regarding another ‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻋﺴﺎﻩ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻘﻮﻝ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬
messenger who would come
after Our Living Word. How ‫ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻤﺎﻝ ﻭﺑﺸﺮﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬
dare he publish another
message after We have ‫ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﺑﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻟﻦ ﳚﺪﻭﺍ ﻟﻪ ﻧﺴﺨﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ‬
revealed the Word of Truth .‫ﻼ ﺇﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ ﻳﺒﻌﺜﻮﻥ‬
‫ﺗﺒﺪﻳ ﹰ‬
powerfully! In the Word, the
Messiah, We profoundly
inspired the perfect precepts
and brought the . Good News
to all of humanity. None of the
divine revelation will ever be
annulled or abrogated till the
Day of Resurrection.

17. Let Us logically suppose


that We did announce to the ‫( ﻭﻟـﻮ ﺑﺸﺮﻧﺎﻫـﻢ ﳌﺎ ﻛﺬﺑـﻮﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ‬١٧
People of The Book such a
prediction. Why would they .‫ﺃﺭﺳﻠـﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳـﻮﻝ ﺇﻻ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﻗﻮﻣـﻪ‬
deny the existence of such a ‫ﻓﺈﻧـﻰ ﻧﺒﺸـﺮ ﺑﲎ ﺇﺳﺮﺍﺋﻴﻞ ﺑﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﻟﻴﺲ‬
prophecy? For this presumption
would mean that We have sent ‫ﻣﻨﻬـﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻟﺴﻨـﺎ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻬﻧـﻢ ﻭﻋﻨﺪﻫـﻢ‬
a messenger who could not
speak their language. How ‫ﻣﻮﺳﻰ ﻭﺍﻷﻧﺒﻴـﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﺮﺳﻠﻮﻥ ﻭﻗﻔﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
absurd is the idea that We .‫ﺁﺛﺎﺭﻫﻢ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
would send the Israelites a
messenger who is neither a
Jew nor did he know their
Hebrew tongue! They already
have Moses, their own Hebrew
prophets and messengers. We
also fulfilled and sealed their
prophecies with Our perfectly
manifested Word, Jesus the
Messiah!
18. We admonished Our
faithful followers regarding the ‫( ﻭﺣﺬﺭﻧﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺃﻓﺎﻙ‬١٨
appearance of a false prophet. ‫ﺗﺒﻴﻨﻮﻩ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻛﻔﺮﻩ ﻭﻋﺮﻓﻮﻩ ﻣﻦ ﲦﺎﺭ ﺃﻓﻌﺎﻟﻪ‬
They could identify such a
person by his anti-Christ ‫ﻭﻛﺸﻔﻮﺍ ﺇﻓﻜﻪ ﻭﺳﺤﺮﻩ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ‬
statements. They could
recognize him by the fruit of his .‫ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺭﺟﻴﻢ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﻛﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
works, and expose his
treachery and evil sorcery. For
the fact is, such a so-called
prophet is categorically a
messenger of Satan the
rejected one, sent to a people
who are infidels through and
through.

THE CONSPIRATORS (Surat
Al Makireen)

In the Name of the Father; the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ‬١


1. Those of Our worshipers
who had gone astray, ‫ﺗﻨﺎﻓﺴﻨﺎ ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻳﻦ ﺇﺫ ﻣﻜﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬
fabricated the news announcing
that We were in competition
‫ﻭﻣﻜﺮﻧﺎ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ ﻓﻜﻨﺎ ﺧﲑ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﺃﺳﺮﻉ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬
with the deceptive hypocrites. .‫ﻭﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﻜﺮ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
The fabric-ation states further
that they devised some
treachery and We did the same
and then We emerged as the
best of deceivers and were
swiftest in deception. Therefore,
those people are transformed
into the manipulators of
deception!

2. Let Satan shut up for he is ‫( ﺃﻻ ﻓﻠﻴﺨﺮﺱ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻬﻧﻢ ﻭﻟﻴﺨﺮﺱ‬٢


behind their talking tongues.
Furthermore, let those who ‫ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺑﻌﻮﻥ ﻓﻠﻬﻢ ﺍﳌﻜﺮ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺃﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻳﻦ‬
con-form to his designs be
banished too. They own the
entire right to deception and
double-dealing. They are the
craftiest of the counterfeiters.

‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﻳﺄﻣﺮ ﺣﺰﺑﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺘﻞ‬٣


3. We have never sent a
messenger from Us who ‫ﻭﳛﺮﺿﻬﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﻳﻘﻮﺩﻫﻢ ﻏﺎﺯﻳﹰﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
instructs his disciples to kill
others, urges them to get
.‫ﺍﻵﻣﻨﲔ‬
involved in polygamy and leads
them as invaders against Our
peaceful worshipers.

‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻠﻚ ﻣﻦ ﺷﻴﻢ ﺍﳌﺮﺳﻠﲔ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻰ ﺇﻻ ﻣﻦ‬٤


4. Such atrocities are not
characteristic of the honorable .‫ﻭﺣﻰ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻟﻌﲔ‬
prophets. Rather, such
activities are the delusion of the
diabolical and damned devil
himself.
5. No genuine messenger ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﲟﺮﺳﻠﻪ‬٥
has ever made himself a ‫ﻭﻳﻌﺎﺭﺽ ﺭﺳﺎﻟﺘﻪ ﻭﻳﻔﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ‬
companion to the God who sent
him, confronted Him about the .‫ﻭﻳﻘﺘﺮﻑ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ‬
message, manu-factured lies,
then committed criminal
activities and stirred rebellion.

6. O, you from among Our ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬. ‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﳌﻜﺮ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٦


true followers who have gone ‫ﺃﺩﻧﺘﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﻗﺪ ﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﻻ ﺗﺪﻧﻮﺍ‬
astray and have been involved
in deception: you have judged .‫ﻟﺌﻼ ﺗﺪﺍﻧﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﻻ ﺗﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
Our faithful followers wrongly.
We have announced long ago,
"Thou shalt not judge that you
may not be judged. "
Furthermore We stated: "Do not
avenge yourselves. "

7. You have instead ‫( ﻭﺳﻠﺒﺘﻢ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﳍـﻢ ﻭﻬﻧﺒﺘﻢ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﻬﺗﻢ ﻭﻗﺪ‬٧


appro-priated properties of
others and have pilfered their ‫ﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻟﻪ ﺛﻮﺑﺎﻥ ﻓﻠﻴﻌﻂ ﺃﺣﺪﳘﺎ ﻭﺃﻻ ﻳﺮﺩ‬
supplies of food. Yet, We had .‫ﺍﻟﺴﺎﺋﻠﲔ‬
given instructions to the effect,
"Whosoever owns two robes let
him give one of them to the less
fortunate, and he should not
turn a beggar away. "
8. You have exhorted your ‫( ﻭﺣﺮﺿﺘﻢ ﻗﻮﻣﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﻩ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ‬٨
people to hate, kill and curse.
But We had commanded ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻠﻌﻦ ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﻥ ﲢﺒﻮﺍ ﺃﻋﺪﺍﺋﻜﻢ ﻭﺗﺒﺎﺭﻛﻮﺍ‬
earlier, "Love your enemies,
bless them who curse you, do ‫ﻻﻋﻨﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﲢﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﻣﺒﻐﻀﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﺗﻐﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬
good to them who hate you and .‫ﻭﺗﺴﺘﻐﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻟﻠﻤﺨﻄﺌﲔ ﺍﺳﺘﻐﻔﺎﺭﹰﺍ‬
forgive those who wrong you. "

‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻭﺃﺭﺍﺩ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﺟﻠﺔ ﻋﺠﻠﺖ ﻟﻪ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ‬٩


9. Consequently, whosoever
rebelled by disobeying us and ‫ﻳﺼﻼﻫﺎ ﻣﺬﻣﻮﻣﹰﺎ ﻣﺪﺣﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﺭﺍﺩ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ‬
desired the eventuality of his
ways, Hell itself hastened to ‫ﻭﺳﻌﻰ ﳍﺎ ﺳﻌﻴﹰﺎ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻣﺆﻣﻦ ﻧﺎﳍﺎ ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﺳﻌﻴﻪ‬
prepare its eternal flames, .‫ﻣﺸﻜﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
where he will not only burn
continuously, but also end up
defeated and defamed. In
contrast, whosoever desires
Heaven, diligently seeks it, and
is a faithful believer in us, he
will definitely reach Heaven and
his labors will be richly
rewarded.

10. There was never a time in


history where evil was ‫( ﻓﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﺍﳊﺮﺏ ﺳﻠﻤﹰﺎ‬١٠
substituted for good, warfare ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻠﺐ ﺣﺴﻨﺔ ﺇﻻ ﰱ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ‬
considered peace, hatred
accepted as love, pillage as .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ ﺍﻟﻔﺎﺳﻘﲔ‬
virtue, except in the law of
Satan, the lawless one and his
vile followers.
11. Virtue has its ‫ﻼ ﻭﻛﻞ ﻳﻌﻤﻞ‬
‫( ﺇﻥ ﻟﻠﺨﲑ ﺭﺳﻼ ﻭﻟﻠﺸﺮ ﺭﺳ ﹰ‬١١
messengers. ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﺷﺎﻛﻠﺘﻪ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻭﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ ﻭﻻ‬
Evil too has its messengers.
Each of the messengers .‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
produces his own ideologies. It
is unlikely that virtue and
vileness are equated in the
balance. Consequently, there is
no comparison between the
godly and the ungodly.

12. The eye is the light of the


entire body. Whosoever has a ‫( ﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﻧﱪﺍﺱ ﺍﳉﺴـﺪ ﻓﺬﻭ ﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﺍﻟﻨﲑﺓ‬١٢
healthy eye will naturally have a ‫ﺫﻭ ﺟﺴﺪ ﻧﲑ ﻭﺫﻭ ﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﺍﳌﻈﻠﻤﺔ ﺫﻭ ﺟﺴﺪ‬
body full of light. Yet,
whosoev-er has a sick eye will ‫ ﻓﺈﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻧﻮﺭﻛﻢ ﻇﻼﻣـﹰﺎ ﻓﻈﻼﻣﻜﻢ‬. ‫ﻣﻈﻠﻢ‬
naturally have a body full of
darkness. If, therefore, your ‫ﺃﱏ ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ؟‬
light has gone out, how
enormous will your darkness
be?

13. Thus, one cannot put a


blind person on the exact same ‫( ﻓﻼ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﻷﻋﻤﻰ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﺼﲑ ﻭﻻ‬١٣
footing as one who can see.
The same is with darkness and ‫ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻭﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﰱ ﻇﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ‬
light. If you are actually ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻓﺄﱏ ﻬﺗﺘﺪﻭﻥ ؟‬
immersed in the gloom of
ignorance and infidelity, will you
ever find the True Way?
14. Woe unto them who ‫( ﺗﺒﹰﺎ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﲟﺎ ﻋﺼﻮﺍ ﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬١٤
accept deception by rejecting
Our precepts, who also wrong ‫ﻳﻌﺘﺪﻭﻥ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺗﻨﺎﻫﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﻣﻨﻜﺮ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﻮﻩ ﻟﺒﺌﺲ ﻣﺎ‬
others by waging war against
the innocents. They are such .‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
mean evildoers who cannot
leave any evil undone and their
wicked deeds are loathsome.

‫( ﺗﱰﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻛﻞ ﺃﻓﺎﻙ ﺃﺛﻴﻢ ﻳﻠﻘﻮﻥ‬١٥


15. Demons descend upon
every liar and deceiver. They ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻤﻊ ﻭﻳﺄﻓﻜﻮﻥ ﻭﳜﺎﺩﻋﻮﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀﻫﻢ ﻭﻳﻮﺣﻮﻥ‬
make him hear impersonators
and lies and let him trust such ‫ﺇﻟﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺑﺈﲰﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ‬
demonic voices, as if they are .‫ﺇﻓﻚ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬
from Us. We have never
convey-ed any blasphemous
information. Such things are the
by-products of the heathen.

16.The unbelievers decided ‫( ﻭﺍﺗﺒﻊ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺣﻔﺎﺓ‬١٦


to come after a people who
were barefooted, naked and ‫ﻋﺮﺍﻩ ﺟﻴﺎﻉ ﻳﺄﻣﻠﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﻐﺰﻭ ﺍﻵﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﻳﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ‬
hungry. These false believers .‫ﺃﻓﻌﺎﻝ ﺍﶈﺴﻨﲔ‬
urged them . to pillage the
peaceful citizens
and not do good deeds.

17. Subsequently, these ‫( ﻓﻌﺎﺛـﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻓﺴـﺎﺩﹰﺍ ﻭﻗﺘﻠـﻮﺍ‬١٧


unbe-lievers brought vileness
upon the earth, such as ‫ﻭﺳﻠﺒــﻮﺍ ﻭﺯﻧـــﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﲣﻤــﻮﺍ‬
murdering, raiding and ‫ﻏﺮﺍﺋــﺰ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋــﻢ ﰱ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻬـﻢ ﰱ‬
committing sexual immoral-ity.
They demonstrated brute
aspirations within their own
souls rather than human ‫ﺍﻟﺪﻧـﻴﺎ ﻭﰱ ﺍﻵﺧـﺮﺓ ﺳﻴﺠـﺰﻭﻥ ﺳﻌـﲑﹰﺍ‬
decency, both in this world and .‫ﻭﻳﺘﺨﻤـﻮﻥ‬
the world to come. At the
Judgment Day they will pay
dearly for their evil deeds.

18. As for those who fear Us, ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻫﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺧﺸﻴﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﺸﻔﻘﻮﻥ‬١٨


who humbly and sincerely
believe in Our Word, who run ‫ﻭﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﳌﺸﻴﺌﺘﻨﺎ ﺧﺎﺿﻌﻮﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ‬
swiftly to perform righteous ‫ﻳﺴﺎﺭﻋﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﳋﲑﺍﺕ ﻭﻫﻢ ﳍﺎ ﺳﺎﺑﻘﻮﻥ ﻓﻬﻢ‬
deeds, they will always reach
their objectives successfully. . ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﻣﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﻭﻋﻠﻰ ُﺧﻠﹸﻖ ﻋﻈﻴﻢ‬
For they are on the right path
and a people of integrity.

19. As for those who have ‫( ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻞ ﺳﻌﻴﻬﻢ ﰱ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ‬١٩
chosen the wrong way in this ‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﳛﺴﺒﻮﻥ ﺃﻬﻧﻢ ﳛﺴﻨﻮﻥ ﺻﻨﻌﺎ ﻓﻬﻢ‬
earthly life, though they think
they have done well, they are in .‫ﺍﻷﺧﺴﺮﻭﻥ‬
fact absolute failures.

20. They even vow, "All that


we desire is only goodness and
prosperity. It Truth is, they ‫( ﳛﻠﻔﻮﻥ ﺇﻥ ﺃﺭﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﻻ ﺇﺣﺴﺎﻧﺎ ﻭﺗﻮﻓﻴﻘﹰﺎ‬٢٠
make such vows with forked
tongues. Consequently, do not ‫ﻭﳛﻠﻔﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻓﻼ ﺗﺼﺪﻗﻮﻫﻢ ﻭﻻ‬
believe them, neither listen to
any of their exaggerated vows .‫ﺗﻄﻴﻌﻮﺍ ﻛﻞ ﺣﻼﻑ ﺯﻧﻴﻢ‬
and instruction ever.

THE ILLITERATES (Surat AI
Ummieen)

In the Name of the Father, the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. We have never sent a


‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺇﻻ ﻭﺁﺗﻴﻨﺎﻩ ﺁﻳﻪ‬١
messenger without equipping .‫ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ‬
him with a miraculous sign. For
this is the method of
authenticating His prophethood.

2. Subsequently, the claim ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻷﻣﻰ ﻳﻌﻠﻢ ﺃﻣﻴﲔ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺃﻋﻤﻰ ﻳﻘﻮﺩ‬٢
that an illiterate person could
be teaching illiterate people is
‫ﻋﻤﻴﺎ ﻳﻬﻮﻭﻥ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﰱ ﺟﺐ ﻓﻴﻬﻠﻚ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﺋﺪ‬
much like the blind leading the .‫ﻭﺍﳌﻘﻮﺩﻭﻥ‬
blind. It is implausible, for they
will certainly fall into a deep pit,
sooner or later, with the leader
and those whom he led
perishing.

3. We send messengers with


true precepts, showing them ‫( ﻭﻧﺒﻌﺚ ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻞ ﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻬﺗﺪﻳﻬﻢ‬٣
the true path and instructing
them, that they themselves in ‫ﻭﻧﻌﻠﻤﻬﻢ ﻟﻴﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﺈﱏ ﻳﻬﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻝ‬
turn can guide Our people. How
can it ever make sense that an
.‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ؟ ﻭﺃﱏ ﻳﻌﻠﻢ ﺍﻷﻣﻰ ﺍﻷﻣﻴﲔ ؟‬
individual who himself has gone
astray can instruct those who
are just like he is, ones who
have lost their way too?
Logically, We must ask, "Can
an illiterate teach illiterates to
read and write?"

4. Satan did assault the ‫( ﻭﺃﻭﻗﻊ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﺎﻷﻣﻴﲔ ﻭﺫﻟﻚ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻫﲔ‬٤
uninformed, which is an easy
goal for him to accomplish.
‫ﻓﺄﺿﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﺃﻓﺴﺪ ﻋﻘﻮﳍﻢ ﻭﺃﻓﺌﺪﻬﺗﻢ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺻﻢ‬
Satan beguiled them, ‫ﻭﺑﻜﻢ ﻋﻤﻰ ﻻ ﻳﻔﻘﻬﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻮﺣﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
brainwashed them and
maligned their hearts. What .‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﻟﻮﺣﻴﻪ ﻃﺎﺋﻌﻮﻥ‬
emerged became a race of
people who are deaf, dumb and
blind. The only thing they
understand is what the devil
devises. They are subservient
to his vices.

5. They recite this gibberish ‫( ﻭﻳﺘﻠﻮﻧﻪ ﻟﻐﻮﹰﺍ ﻓﺞ ﺍﻷﺣﻜﺎﻡ ﺭﺙ ﺍﻷﻟﻔﺎﻅ‬٥


which is nothing but plagiarized
wisdom. pitiful enunciation and
‫ﻏﺚ ﺍﻷﻧﺒﺎﺀ ﻣﺜﻠﻪ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﻋﻈﺎﻡ ﳔﺮﺓ ﻳﻨﻔﺨﻮﻥ‬
mystifying instructions. This ‫ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﻟﻴﺤﻴﻮﺍ ﺭﻣﻴﻤﻬﺎ ﻭﻣﻦ ﻏﲑﻧﺎ ﳛﻲ ﺍﻟﻌﻈﺎﻡ‬
reminds one of the dead bones
into which people blow their .‫ﻭﻫﻰ ﺭﻣﻴﻢ‬
breath to bring them to life.
Who in the universe but Us. the
True Living God. can bring
dead bones to life?
6. We have sent down this
True Furqan as standard ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻫﺪﻯ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ‬٦
precepts to mankind ‫ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﻭﻟﻨﺮﻳﻦ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
everywhere. It is also conveyed
so the blasphemers from .‫ﻭﻛﻢ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻟﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺟﺎﺣﺪﻳﻦ‬
among Our followers can
recognize how cruel they were
in their dealings with Our
righteous followers in previous
centuries. Furthermore, it
discloses how they themselves
were the infidels who rejected
Our Word vehemently.

7. To expose the design of ‫( ﻭﺑﻴﻨﺔ ﺗﻔﻀﺢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺇﺫ ﺃﻭﺣﻰ ﻷﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ‬٧


Satan, people should look at ‫ﺑﺄﻥ ﻳﻜﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺷﻄﻄﹰﺎ ﻓﺄﻃﺎﻋﻮﻩ‬
how he beguiled his followers
to rebel against us and to .‫ﻭﺃﺗﻮﺍ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ ﺇﺫﹰﺍ‬
manufacture falsehood about
Us. They obeyed him
completely and accomplished
his evil purpose willingly.

8. Unfathomable as it is, they ‫( ﻭﻧﺎﻫﻀﻮﺍ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻧﺎﺻﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻓﻜﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬٨


disputed the Truth but
supported falsehood! Thus, .‫ﺟﺒﺎﺑﺮﺓ ﻋﻨﺪﻧﺎ‬
they became despairing
colossal desperados and
gangsters.
9. They even fabricated lies
declaring that We have ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﻛﺬﺑﹰﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﻣﻜﺮﻧﺎ‬٩
hoodwinked Our worshipers ‫ﺑﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺑﻄﺸﻨﺎ ﻬﺑﻢ ﺑﻄﺸﹰﺎ ﻭﺍﻧﺘﻘﻤﻨﺎ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ‬
formidably, devoured them
fiercely, taken revenge on them ‫ﺍﻧﺘﻘﺎﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﺗﻜﱪﻧﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺗﻜﱪﹰﺍ ﻭﻗﻬﺮﻧﺎ ﻓﻮﻗﻬﻢ‬
forcefully, put them down
flamboyantly, victimized them ‫ﻗﻬﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺃﺫﻟﻠﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺇﺫﻻﻻ ﻭﺃﻫﻠﻜﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺇﻫﻼﻛﹰﺎ‬
frequently, put them to utter ‫ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻬﺰﺃﻧﺎ ﻬﺑﻢ ﺍﺳﺘﻬﺰﺍﺀ ﻭﺩﻣﺮﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﺗﺪﻣﲑﹰﺍ‬
shame fatefully, decimated
them fanatically, made a joke ‫ﻭﻋﺬﺑﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺗﻌﺬﻳﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﻟﻌﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﻟﻌﻨﺎ ﻭﻛﺪﻧﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻛﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
out of them festively, destroyed
them fully, tormented them .‫ﻋﻈﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
frantically, cursed them
factually and planned for them
a terrible punishment finally.

10. Far be it from Us ever to


punish Our worshipers without
first giving them an opportunity
to repent. The charlatans have ‫( ﺣﺎﺷـﺎ ﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻥ ﻧـﺰﻝ ﺑﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻣﺎ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ‬١٠
fabri-cated such proclamations ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﻪ ﺍﳌﻔﺘـﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻛﻴـﺪ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
as Our Own instructions. Such
is but the designs of Satan, the ‫ﺭﺟﻴﻢ ﺟﺎﺷـﺖ ﰱ ﺻﺪﺭﻩ ﲰـﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬
rejected one, in whose inner
being poisons of blasphemy ‫ﻓﻠﻔﻈﻬـﺎ ﰱ ﺃﻓـﻮﺍﻩ ﺭﺳـﻠﻪ ﻓﺘﻘﻴﺆﻫـﺎ ﰱ‬
boil continuously. Therefore, he ‫ﺁﺫﺍﻥ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻬـﻢ ﻓﺼﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﺒـﻴﻞ‬
deceptively and ingeniously
enunciated such declarations .‫ﺻﺪﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬
through the mouths of his
devotees. In turn, they spewed
them out into the ears of their
adherents. Wherefore the
adherents turned away from the
True Path angrily.
11. Satan has attained ‫( ﺃﻻﺳﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺳﺎﺀ ﺭﺳﻠﻪ ﻭﺧﺎﺏ‬١١
enormous wickedness and his
messengers have followed suit. .‫ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
But his blasphemous devotees
are doomed to a certain horrific
destruction at the termination
point. '

12. For he himself is the one ‫( ﻓﻬﻮ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﺑﻌﺚ ﰱ ﺍﻷﻣﻴﲔ ﺭﺳﻮ ﹰﻻ ﻣﻦ‬١٢
who dispatched to the illiterates
a messenger from among them ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻳﺘﻠﻮ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺗﻪ ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌﻮﻩ ﺇﻥ ﻳﺘﺒﻌﻮﻥ‬
reciting his verses-Satanic
verses indeed. Although they .‫ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻻ ﻳﻐﲎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ‬
staunchly followed him, the fact
is they only follow a man's
opinion. Opinions of men can
never replace the True
revelation in any form or
fashion.

THE SLANDERERS (Surat AI
Muftareen)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬٤١

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. Worshipers: you have
enunciated, "Add no partners to
God." Yet, you have joined a
‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
partner to Us. He has become ‫ ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻛﺘﻢ‬."‫" ﻻ ﺗﺸﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﷲ ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ‬: ‫ﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬
an associate to Us in
omnipotence, thus, turning ‫ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﳊﻮﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﻮﺓ ﻓﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﺷﺮ‬
yourselves into the worst of
polytheists. .‫ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﲔ‬

2. You added, "Close not your ‫" ﻻ ﲡﻌﻞ ﻳﺪﻙ ﻣﻐﻠﻮﻟﺔ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺒﺴﻄﻬﺎ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٢
fist too tightly, neither open it
too generously." Yet, you did ‫ﻛﻞ ﺍﻟﺒﺴﻂ" ﻓﻤﺎ ﻏﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ‬
not close your fists too tightly ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺑﺴﻄﺘﻤﻮﻫﺎ ﺑﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻝ‬
when it came to killing,
fornica-tion and depravity! .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬
Neither did you open it
generously with love, justice
and peace!

3 . You further emphasized, ‫" ﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﺮﺑﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻓﺎﺣﺸﺔ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٣
"Do not commit immorality for it ‫ﻼ " ﰒ ﺩﻋﻮﰎ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﺍﻑ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬
‫ﻭﺳﺎﺀ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
is an abomination and an evil
pathway." Then, you .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺎﺣﺸﻪ ﻓﺴﺌﺘﻢ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
proclaimed that committing
fornication and immorality,
through polygamy, is
sanctioned. This resulted in
your following an evil way.

‫" ﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﻔـﺲ ﺍﻟﱴ ﺣﺮﻣﻬﺎ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘـﻢ‬٤


4. Furthermore, you stated,
"Do not destroy the soul that ‫ﺍﷲ ﺇﻻ ﺑﺎﳊـﻖ " ﰒ ﻧﺴﺨﺘـﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻜـﻢ‬
God has forbidden to destroy,
except when it is just to do so." ‫ﻭﺣﺮﺿﺘـﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺘـﻞ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺃﻛــﱪ‬
Thereafter, you abrogated your ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋـﺮ ﻭﻗـﺪ ﺣﺮﻣﻨــﺎﻩ ﻋﻠﻴﻜـﻢ‬
declaration and encouraged
killing, which is the most
savage of brutalities. We have
outlawed murder among you
very empha-tically. But you . ‫ﻼ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ‬
‫ﲢﺮﳝﹰﺎ ﻓﺤﻠﻠﺘﻤـﻮﻩ ﻷﻧﻔﺴﻜـﻢ ﲢﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
have sanctioned it for
yourselves as a legal .‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﺘـﻞ ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﺣﻼﻻﹰﺍ‬
prerogative. Murder has never
been lawful or right for
anybody.

5. "Argue not with the People ‫" ﻻ ﲡﺎﺩﻟﻮﺍ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﲟﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٥
of The Book in matters above ‫ﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ " ﻭﻣﺎ ﺳﺄﻟﺘﻢ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ‬
your comprehension," is
another of your declarations. .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺍﺳﺨﲔ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻓﻀﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﺩﻟﻴ ﹰ‬
Because you did not seek
answers from the People of The
Book and those who are
established in knowledge and
religion, you very definitely lost
your way.

6. "Deprive not the orphan of


his inheritance unless you have ‫ "ﻻ ﺗﻘﺮﺑـﻮﺍ ﻣﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻴﺘﻴـﻢ ﺇﻻ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٦
a better plan for him for using ‫ﺑﺎﻟﱴ ﻫﻰ ﺃﺣﺴﻦ " ﰒ ﻧﺴﺨﺘـﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻜـﻢ‬
it," is another of your sayings.
Yet, you abrogated the ‫ﻼ‬
‫" ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛـﺎﻥ ﻗﻮﺕ ﺍﻟﻴﺘﺎﻣـﻰ ﺃﻛ ﹰ‬: ‫ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻜﻢ‬
statement with another, "Enjoy
your spoils they are lawful and .‫ﻃﻴﺒـﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻐﺰﻭ ﺭﺯﻗـﹰﺎ ﺣﻼ ﹰﻻ‬
thrilling." The sustenance of
orphans has never been
considered delicious food by
anyone. Neither was raiding nor
plundering ever lawful gain or a
method to earn a living.
7. Therefore, whosoever
de-vours the morsel of the ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺄﻛﻠﻮﻥ ﻟﻘﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻴﺘﻴﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ‬٧
orphan soon after they caused ‫ﻳﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻣﺎ ﻳﺄﻛﻠﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺑﻄﻮﻬﻧﻢ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ‬
him to become an orphan, will
not place into their bellies .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﻓﻌﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﺑﻴ ﹰ‬
nutrients, but hellfire. Their
deed is actually despicable.

42 ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ‬٤٢
PRAYER (Surat AI Salat)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. A charitable deed without ‫( ﻭﳊﺴﻨﺔ ﺑﻼ ﺻﻼﺓ ﺧﲑ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻴﺌﺔ ﻣﻊ‬١


prayer is superior to any evil
deed with prayer. Therefore ‫ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ ﻓﺎﻧﺒﺬﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﻐﻮ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﻔﺎﻕ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﰱ ﻏﲎ ﻋﻦ‬
discard gossip and hypocrisy .‫ﺻﻼﺓ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﲔ‬
for We can do without the
prayers of hypocrites.

2. There is no comparison
between the believers who ‫( ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﺑﺈﳝﺎﻥ‬٢
perform righteous works by
faith and the ones who perform . ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ‬
none.
3. The ones who perform their ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻘﻴﻤﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ ﰱ ﺯﻭﺍﻳﺎ‬٣
ritualistic prayers at street ‫ﺍﻟﺸﻮﺍﺭﻉ ﻭﺍﳌﺴﺎﺟﺪ ﺭﻳﺎﺀ ﻛﻰ ﻳﺸﻬﺪﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬
comers, churches and mosques
with an ulterior motive, which is ‫ﺫﻟﻜﻢ ﻫﻢ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻭﻫﻢ ﰱ ﺍﳊﻘﻴﻘﺔ ﻻ‬
to be observed by passersby,
are the perfect hypocrites for .‫ﻳﺼﻠﻮﻥ‬
they do not genuinely pray.

4. Therefore, whosoever
de-termines to pray, let him ‫( ﻓﻤـﻦ ﻧﻮﻯ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺼﻠﻰ ﻓﻠﻴﺪﺧﻞ ﺩﺍﺭﻩ‬٤
enter his residence, find a
secluded space, shut the door ‫ﻭﻳﻐﻠﻖ ﺑﺎﺑﻪ ﻭﻳﺼﻞ ﺧﻔﻴﻪ ﳒﺰﻳﻪ ﻋﻼﻧﻴﺔ ﺑﻌﲔ‬
then proceed to pray while in
his hiding place. We will reward .‫ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
such a person abundantly and
openly.

5. Your repetition of the


ritualistic prayers is much like
that of the heathen. You
errone-ously believe that by
repeating your prayers you will ‫( ﺗﻜﺮﺭﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﻼﻡ ﻟﻐﻮﹰﺍ ﻛﻌﺒﺪﺓ ﺍﻷﻭﺛﺎﻥ‬٥
be guarante-ed a hearing. .‫ﺗﻈﻨﻮﻥ ﺃﻧﻜﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺘﻜﺮﺍﺭ ﺗﺴﺘﺠﺎﺑﻮﻥ‬

6. Are you not aware that We


know your prayer requests
before you vocalize them?
7. You presume that your ‫( ﻭﺗﺮﺩﺩﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﺪﻋﺎﺀ ﻃﻤﻌﹰﺎ ﺑﺪﺧﻮﻝ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﻓﻠﻦ‬٧
repetitions of rituals will
introduce you to the Garden. ‫ ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬. ‫ﺗﻔﺘﺢ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﻟﻠﻤﻨﺎﻓﻘﲔ‬
The Gates of Paradise will .‫ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﲟﺸﻴﺌﺘﻨﺎ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﻥ‬
never open to let hypocrites
inside. Only those who practice
obedience to Our will shall
enter therein.

8. You judge people falsely.


Never forget that the day will ‫( ﺗﺪﻳﻨﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﻟﺴﻮﻑ ﺗﺪﺍﻧﻮﻥ‬٨
come when you will be judged .‫ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﲟﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﺪﻳﻨﻮﻥ‬
in accordance with the
judgments that you meted out
to others.

9. None of you can serve two ‫( ﻭﻻ ﻳﻘﺪﺭ ﺃﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻌﺒﺪ ﺭﺑﲔ ﻓﺎﳌﺎﻝ‬٩
masters. Money is your master
and money is what you really .‫ﺭﺑﻜﻢ ﻭﺇﺑﺎﻩ ﺗﻌﺒﺪﻭﻥ‬
worship.

10. All you worship besides


Us are no more than idols and ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻌﺒﺪﻭﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﺇﻻ ﺃﺷﻴﺎﺀ ﻭﺃﲰﺎﺀ‬١٠
names you and your ancestors
have concocted. They were the ‫ﲰﻴﺘﻤﻮﻫﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻭﺁﺑﺎﺅﻛﻢ ﻭﺳﻮﺱ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
whisperings of Satan in your
very hearts for which We have .‫ﰱ ﺻﺪﻭﺭﻛﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ‬
never given authority.

THE KINGS (Surat Al Mulook)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﻠﻮﻙ‬٤٣

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

‫ ﻭﺭﺣﺘﻢ‬." ‫" ﻻ ﺇﻛﺮﺍﻩ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬١


1. You declared, "There is no
coercion in religion." Yet you ‫ﺗﻜﺮﻫﻮﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻓﻤﻦ‬
forced upon Our faithful
followers rebellion. Whosoever
‫ﺍﺳﺘﺴﻠﻢ ﺳﻠﻢ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﺳﺘﻤﺴﻚ ﺑﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻗﺘﻞ‬
surrendered to you was saved .‫ﻗﺘﻠﻪ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
from being killed by your
enforcers. However, whosoever
held onto the religion of Truth
was killed summarily as
criminals are killed.

2. If We desire it, every soul


on earth can be forced to trust ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﺷﺌﻨﺎ ﻵﻣﻦ ﻣﻦ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻛﻠﻬـﻢ‬٢
Us unconditionally. Are you
gods to make people into ‫ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﺃﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺗﻜﺮﻫﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺣﱴ ﻳﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ‬
believers involuntarily?
‫ﻣﺆﻣﻨﲔ ؟‬

3. You conjecture that we ‫" ﻗﺎﺗﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﷲ‬: ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬٣
proclaimed, "Kill for the cause
of God and be aware that God
."‫ﻭﺍﻋﻠﻤﻮﺍ ﺃﻥ ﺍﷲ ﲰﻴﻊ ﻋﻠﻴﻢ‬
is ever-listening and wise."
4. Whosoever orders death to ‫( ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻳﺄﻣﺮ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻓﻠﻴﺲ ﺑﺈﻟﻪ ﲰﻴﻊ‬٤
others indiscriminately is not an
all-knowing· and allwise god. .‫ﻋﻠﻴﻢ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺯﻧﻴﻢ‬
Indeed, such is Satan, the
rebel-lious one.

5. He actually urged his own ‫( ﺣﺮﺽ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺑﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻭﻋﺪﻫﻢ‬٥
followers to reject Our decrees.
He promised them paradises of ‫ﲜﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﻓﺎﲣﺬﻭﺍ ﺁﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻫﺰﻭﺍ‬
fornication and debauchery.
Sub-sequently, they considered .‫ﻭﻏﺮﻬﺗﻢ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻓﻀﻠﻮﺍ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ‬
Our decrees unbelievable
commands. Worldliness
bamboozled them; thus, they
lost the straight path.

6. The illustration of the ‫( ﺇﻥ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﻄﻐﺎﺓ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﻟﺼﻮﺹ‬٦


ruthless raiders is much like
thieves who assaulted a ‫ﺳﻄﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﺼﺮ ﻣﺸﻴﺪ ﻓﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﺃﻫﻠﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﺒﻮﺍ‬
magnificent palace. They .‫ﺃﻣﻮﺍﳍﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺪﺧﺮﻭﻥ‬
murdered the dwellers, seized
their wealth and all the
treasured riches.

7. They claimed the women


as their own and announced, ‫" ﻟﻘﺪ‬:‫(ﻭﺍﺳﺘﺤﻴـﻮﺍ ﻧﺴﺎﺀﻫـﻢ ﻭﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬٧
"We have now become lords of ‫ﺃﺻﺒﺤﻨﺎ ﺃﺭﺑﺎﺏ ﻗﺼﻮﺭ ﻓﻨﺤﻦ ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ ﻣﻠﻮﻙ‬
palaces. "
.‫ﻣﺘﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
8. Nevertheless, the usurpers ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺗﺒﻊ ﺍﻟﻠﺼﻮﺹ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻘﺼﻮﺭ ﺑﻞ‬٨
did not practice the precepts of
the palace owners, but they ‫ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺰﺍﺓ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻓﺄﺻﺒﺤﺖ ﺣﻴﺎﻬﺗﻢ ﻓﻮﺿﻰ‬
behaved just as marauding ‫ﻭﺃﺻﺒﺢ ﺍﻟﻘﺼﺮ ﻛﻬﻔﹰﺎ ﺧﺎﻭﻳﹰﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺮﻭﺷﻪ‬
raiders. The result was that
their lives became .‫ﻭﺃﻣﺴﻰ ﻣﺄﻭﻯ ﻟﻠﻤﺠﺮﻣﲔ‬
disorganized, the palace turned
over into a den of thieves and
became barren of royal thrones.
Finally, it surfaced as a shelter
for criminals only.

THE EVIL ONE (Surat AI
Taghout)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. This is directed to anyone


who has rebelled, yet still claim ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ ﻗﺎﻡ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
to be counted among Our
followers. There is a rumor that ‫ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻗﺎﻡ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻛﻔﻮﺍ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﻃﻔﻖ ﻳﻮﻫﻢ‬
a descendent has arisen from
your midst who proclaims that ‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﺄﻧﻪ ﳐﺘﺎﺭﻧﺎ ﻭﺷﺮﻳﻜﻨﺎ ﺃﻻ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ ﺷﺮﻳﻚ‬
he is equal to Us. In fact, he .‫ﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﱂ ﻳﻜﻦ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻛﻔﻮﺍ ﺃﺣﺪ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
joined his name to Ours, his will
with Our will, adding that to
trust him is actually to trust Us
too. He deluded people that he
is Our elect and companion.
There has never been a partner
to Us nor any equal to Us in the
entire universe.
2. We provided guidance for ‫( ﻭﻫﺪﻳﻨﺎ ﺍﻹﻧﺴﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﺧﺮﺟﻨﺎﻩ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ‬٢
man and led him out of
darkness into the light. Yet, ‫ﻭﻧﻘﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ‬.‫ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻓﺄﻋﺎﺩﻩ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ‬
Satan tricked him back into
darkness. We brought man ‫ ﻭﻃﻬﺮﻧﺎﻩ‬، ‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻓﺮﺩﺓ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬
from unbelief into faith. But .‫ﻣﻦ ﻛﻞ ﺭﺟﺲ ﻓﻨﺠﺴﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
Satan brought him back into
unbelief we cleansed man from
every unclean thing. But Satan
polluted him by adultery and
immorality.

3. Mankind was commanded ‫( ﻭﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻓﺄﺣﻠﻪ ﻟﻪ ﺑﺎﲰﻨﺎ‬٣


not to kill. But Satan allowed ‫ﻭﻏﺮﺳﻨﺎ ﺑﻘﻠﺒﻪ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻓﱰﻋﻬﺎ‬
killing to mankind, by claiming
we Ourselves have sanctioned ‫ﻣﻦ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ ﻭﺃﻓﻌﻬﻤﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﺮﻩ ﻭﺍﳋﺼﺎﻡ ﻭﺃﺭﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻪ‬
it. We planted in man's heart
love, mercy and peace. Satan ‫ﺃﻥ ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﻣﻠﻜﹰﺎ ﺭﺣﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻓﺠﻌﻞ ﻣﻨﻪ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻧﹰﺎ‬
snatched these virtues from .‫ﺭﺟﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻪ ﺃﺳﻔﻞ ﺳﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
man's heart, overwhelming him
with hate and animosity. We
wished for man to be a
benevolent angel. But Satan
turned him into a cursed
demon. Then he demoted man
into the lowest depravity.

4. Satan conspired against


Our believing followers ‫( ﻭﻛـﺎﺩ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ‬٤
purpos-ing to turn them back
from their faith. So, he ‫ﻟﲑﺩﻫـﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧـﻢ ﻓﺄﺭﺳﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻨـﺎﻫﺾ‬
commissioned some-one who ‫ﺳﻨﺘـﻨﺎ ﻓﺄﺿـﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑـﻢ ﻣـﺮﺽ‬
renounced Our decrees. Thus,
he caused those whose hearts ‫ﻓﻜـﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺃﻣﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﳌﺨﻠﺼـﻮﻥ‬
were already sick to be ‫ﻼ ﻭﻇﻠﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
‫ﻓﻠﻢ ﳚـﺪ ﺇﱃ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﺳﺒـﻴ ﹰ‬
misguided~ then they rebelled.
.‫ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧﻢ ﺛﺎﺑﺘﲔ‬

5. We have carved Our ‫( ﻭﻃﺒﻌﻨﺎ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻓﻨﺴﻤﻊ‬٥


precepts into the hearts of the
faithful believers. We answer .‫ﺩﻋﺎﺀ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻧﺼﻐﻰ ﺇﱃ ﻟﻐﻮ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
their heartfelt prayers. But the
calls of the blasphemers We
never hear.

6. The followers of the ‫( ﻭﻫﺒﻂ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﺗﺒﻌـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻄﺎﻏﻮﺕ ﺇﱃ ﺩﺭﻙ‬٦


imposter descended into a ‫ﺳﺤﻴـﻖ ﻓﺎﺷﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﳊﺮﺏ ﺑﺎﻟﺴـﻼﻡ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻠﺐ‬
deep pit. They exchanged
peace for warfare, benevolence ‫ﺑﺎﻹﺣﺴـﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟـﺰﱏ ﺑﺎﻟﻌﻔـﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ‬
for raiding, purity for fornication
and faith for faithlessness. ‫ﺑﺎﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻓﺨﺴﺮﺕ ﲡﺎﺭﻬﺗﻢ ﻭﻛﺴﺒﻮﺍ ﻋﺬﺍﺑﹰﺎ‬
Subsequently, their trade .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﺑﻴ ﹰ‬
vanished; their profit was none
other than a terrible torment.

7. They committed
debauche-ry, vileness and rape
as they pursued the paradise of
adultery. They make false ‫( ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻰ ﺳﻌﻴﹰﺎ‬٧
promises and offer insincere ‫ﻭﺭﺍﺀ ﺟﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻳﻮﻋﺪﻭﻬﻧﺎ ﻭﻋﺪﹰﺍ ﻏﺮﻭﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﺛﻮﺍﺑﹰﺎ‬
rewards from Satan. Flee away
from the para-dise of the ‫ ﺃﻻ ﺑﻌﺪﹰﺍ ﳉﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬، ‫ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
blasphemers. Woe unto them to
whom such a paradise appears .‫ﻭﺗﻌﺴﹰﺎ ﳌﻦ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻳﻮﻋﺪﻭﻥ‬
very desirable.
8. They have also misquot-ed
Us by stating that We have ‫" ﺑﺄﻧﺎ‬: ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ‬٨
declared, "We have purchased ‫ﺍﺷﺘﺮﻳﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﳍﻢ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ‬
the believer's souls and
paradise is theirs. So they ‫ﻳﻘﺎﺗﻠﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﻭﻋﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬
should fight for Our enterprise.
And such a promise is actually ‫" ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ ﻛﺎﺫﺑﻮﻥ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﺸﺘﺮﻯ‬.
recorded in the Gospel." Let it .‫ﻧﻔﻮﺱ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﺷﺘﺮﺍﻫﺎ ﺍﻟﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻌﲔ‬
be known that the fabricators
are liars. You see, We do not
purchase the souls of criminals.
It is Satan, the cursed one, who
does this sort of merchandizing.

9. The imposters have made ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﻧـﺎ ﰱ ﻋﺼﺒﺔ ﺗﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺗﺴﻠﺐ‬٩


Us partners with a gang who ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻓﺮﺿـﻮﺍ ﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﲬﺲ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻐﻨـﻢ‬
robs and kills Our creatures.
They even arranged that one- .‫ﺍﻟﻐـﺰﺍﺓ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﻮﻥ‬
fifth of the spoils of war should
be given to Us to make them
feel justified in their selfish and
criminal pursuits.

10. The hypocrites ‫" ﻭﻣﺎ ﻗﺘﻠﺘﻤﻮﻫﻢ‬: ‫( ﻭﺑﺮﺃﻫﻢ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻓﻘﺎﻟﻮﺍ‬١٠


exonerat-ed the criminals by
saying, "For you have not ‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﷲ ﻗﺘﻠﻬﻢ " ﺃﻻ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﻘﺘﻞ ﻋﻴﺎﻟﻨﺎ ﻟﻨﻐﻨﻢ‬
destroyed them. It is God who
did." Do you not realize that We .‫ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻠﻪ ﻭﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
do not destroy Our Own family
members in order to take spoils
as the marauders and
murderers do?
11. They have judged ‫( ﻭﺣﻜﻤﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﺇﺫ‬١١
themselves rightly when they ‫" ﻫﻞ ﺃﻧﺒﺌﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﻦ ﺗﱰﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺎﻃﲔ ؟‬:‫ﺗﻠﻮﺍ‬
announced. "Shall I reveal to
you upon whom demons ".‫ﺗﱰﻝ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻛﻞ ﺃﻓﺎﻙ ﺃﺛﻴﻢ‬
descend? Demons descend
upon every wicked deceiver."

12. As for those who veil in ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻜﺘﻤﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻨﺎﻟﺒﻴﻨﺎﺕ‬١٢


secrecy what We have
conveyed of guidance and ‫ﻭﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﺎﻩ ﰱ‬
prudence in The True Furqan, ‫ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻳﻠﻌﻨﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﻼﻋﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﻳﺼﻠﻮﻥ‬
after We had revealed it in The
True Gospel, denouncers will .‫ﻧﺎﺭ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
denounce them. Then, they will
roast in the fires of Hell. We are
ever Holy and Just.

the Word, the Holy Spirit, the
One and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. The hypocrite can be


likened unto a raider who
conquered a village. spoiled it
‫( ﺇﻥ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﲔ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﻏﺎﺯ ﺩﺧﻞ ﻗﺮﻳﺔ‬١
and humiliated its nobility into ‫ﻓﺄﻓﺴﺪﻫﺎ ﻭﺟﻌﻞ ﺃﻋﺰﺓ ﺃﻫﻠﻬﺎ ﺃﺫﻟﺔ ﻭﺯﻋﻢ ﺃﻧﻪ‬
servitude. He claimed that he is
the King's messenger to them ‫ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﳌﻠﻚ ﺇﻟﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﺑﻴﻨﺘﻪ ﻛﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﻩ ﻓﺼﺪﻗﻪ‬
providing them with a forged
letter to that effect. Therefore.
.‫ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﻮﻥ‬
the unenlightened trusted him.
2. Killing. he killed the ‫( ﻭﻗﺘﻞ ﻧﺎﻫﻀﻪ ﻭﻋﻔﺎ ﻋﻤﻦ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﻪ ﻭﺃﲣﺬﰎ‬٢
opposition. But he let live
whosoever took his side making .‫ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀ ﻛﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
them his staunchly faithful
followers.

3. One day a man arrived


from a distant city who exposed ‫( ﻭﺟﺎﺀ ﺭﺟﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻗﺼﻰ ﺍﳌﺪﻳﻨﻪ ﻳﺴﻌﻰ‬٣
the treachery of the hypocrite ‫ﻭﻓﻀﺢ ﺧﺪﻋﺔ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﺃﻋﻠﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﺮﻳﺔ ﺑﺎﳋﱪ‬
and declared to the entire
village the true nature of this .‫ﺍﻟﻴﻘﲔ‬
person.

4. Truth was revealed. Light


became bright. So, those who
were lost were found. The ones ‫( ﻓﺤﺼﺤﺺ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻧﺒﻠﺞ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻓﺎﻫﺘﺪﻯ‬٤
who were led astray returned to ‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﻮﻥ ﻭﺍﺭﺗﺪ ﺍﳌﻀﻠﻠﻮﻥ ﻭﺗﺎﺑﻮﺍ ﻓﻌﺎﺷﻮﺍ ﰱ‬
the right way. Thereafter, they
all lived securely with love and .‫ﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﺁﻣﻨﲔ‬
peace holding sway.

5. O, you who have renounc-ed


the faith from among Our
people: did We ever command
you concerning Our believing ‫ ﻫﻞ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ‬٥
servants that you kill some of ‫ﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎﻛـﻢ ﺑﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ ﺃﻥ ﻓﺮﻳﻘﹰﺎ‬
them and imprison others? And
that We gave you their homes, ‫ ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺛﻨﺎﻛـﻢ‬.‫ﺗﻘﺘﻠـﻮﻥ ﻭﺗﺄﺳـﺮﻭﻥ ﻓﺮﻳﻘﹰﺎ‬
properties, riches and a land
which you did not even trod? Is ‫ﺃﺭﺿﻬـﻢ ﻭﺩﻳﺎﺭﻫـﻢ ﻭﺃﻣﻮﺍﳍـﻢ ﻭﺃﺭﺿﹰﺎ ﱂ‬
this the reward for their trust in ‫ﺗﻄﺌﻮﻫﺎ ؟ ﺃﻫﺬﺍ ﺟـﺰﺍﺀ ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧـﻢ ﺑﻨﺎ ؟ ﻭﻫﻞ‬
Us? Is not the reward of good
deeds also a goodly reward? ‫ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﻹﺣﺴﺎﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻹﺣﺴﺎﻥ ؟‬
6. Can a true believer be
compared to one who is an ‫( ﺃﻓﻤﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﻛﻤﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻛﺎﻓﺮﹰﺍ ؟ ﻻ‬٦
infidel? There is no comparison ‫ ﻭﺳﲑﻯ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ‬، ‫ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ‬
whatsoever. Consequently,
those who have propagated .‫ﺃﻯ ﻣﻨﻘﻠﺐ ﻳﻨﻘﻠﺒﻮﻥ‬
falsehood concerning Us will
discover what a terrible
punishment awaits them.

7. You are merely a bunch of ‫( ﻭﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﻷﻣﻴﻮﻥ ﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٧


illiterates who have no ‫ ﻛﱪ‬.‫ﻭﲡﺎﺩﻟﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺁﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﺑﻐﲑ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ ﺃﺗﺎﻛﻢ‬
knowledge of The True Gospel
and debate over Our signs ‫ﻣﻘﺘﹰﺎ ﻋﻨﺪﻧﺎ ﺃﻥ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﻛﺬﻟﻚ‬
without any authority from any
source. Despised are the .‫ﻧﻄﺒﻊ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺐ ﻛﻞ ﻣﺘﻜﱪ ﺟﺒﺎﺭ‬
statements that you make in
such ignorance. We,
furthermore, stamp "Despised"
as Our sign of displeasure on
the heart of every arrogant
dictator.

8. You fabricated falsely that ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻨﺎ‬٨
We declared, "Such of Our ‫" ﻣﺎ ﻧﻨﺴﺦ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻳﺔ ﺃﻭ ﻧﻨﺴﻬﺎ ﻧﺄﺕ ﲞﲑ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ‬:
revelations as We abrogate or
cause to be forgotten, We bring .‫ﺃﻭ ﻣﺜﻠﻬﺎ" ﻓﻤﺎ ﺃﺧﻄﺄﻧﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻛﻨﺎ ﻏﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
one better or the like thereof."
We have neither made a
mistake nor are We absent-
minded.
9. You also stated, "God ‫ "ﻓﻴﻨﺴﺦ ﺍﷲ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻠﻘﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﰒ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٩
abrogates what Satan brought ."‫ﳛﻜﻢ ﺍﷲ ﺁﻳﺎﺗﻪ‬
forth, then God corrects His
own verses. "

10. In this manner you have


burdened Us down with the ‫( ﻭﺃﻟﻘﻴﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻭﺯﺭ ﺃﺧﻄﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﻭﻧﺴﻴﻨﺎﻛﻢ‬١٠
weight of your sins and
forget-fulness. We never make ‫ﺃﻻ ﺇﻧﻨﺎ ﻻ ﳔﻄﻰﺀ ﻓﻨﻨﺴﺦ ﻭﻻ ﻧﻨﺴﻰ ﻓﻨﺘﺬﻛﺮﻩ‬
mistakes thus causing Us to ‫ﻭﻻ ﻧﺴﻰﺀ ﻓﻨﺤﺴﻦ ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﺃﺭﺩﻧﺎ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ ﻓﺈﳕﺎ ﻧﻘﻮﻝ‬
abrogate or annul. Neither do
We forget nor must We be .‫ﻟﻪ ﻛﻢ ﻓﻴﻜﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺃﺣﺴﻦ ﺗﻜﻮﻳﻦ‬
reminded. We do not act
wickedly and then must rectify
by doing better. The fact is, if
We desire anything We simply
say, "Let it be done," and it is
done in superlative fashion.

11. You have also despised ‫( ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﻭﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻓﺤﻖ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ‬١١
and disdained Our revealed
scriptures. Consequently, this ‫" ﺑﺄﻥ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺎﻃﲔ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬:‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ‬
motto fitted you well; "Demons ."‫ﻭﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ ﻏﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
are the supporters of the
unbelievers who accused Our
scripture with falsehood, yet
they themselves were oblivious
of their lot. "
12. Furthermore, if it is
rumored, "These sayings are ‫ "ﻓﺄﺗﻮﺍ‬: ‫" ﻫﻮ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﻩ‬: ‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻗﻴﻞ‬١٢
his own invention," he recoils
from the criticism and ."‫ﺑﻌﺸﺮ ﺳﻮﺭ ﻣﺜﻠﻪ ﻣﻔﺘﺮﻳﺎﺕ ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺻﺎﺩﻗﲔ‬
announces, "Bring ten such
invented chapters if you have
the creative ability."

13. No one brings forth such


invented chapters except an ‫( ﻭﻻ ﻳﺄﺗﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﻮﺭ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﺎﺕ ﺇﻻ ﻣﻔﺘﺮ ﻭﳑﺎ‬١٣
im-poster who recites what
demons concocted. .‫ﺗﻮﺣﻲ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺎﻃﲔ‬

14 . We have conveyed it, a


True Furqan. No deception will ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻓﺮﻗﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﻻ ﻳﺄﺗﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻣﻦ‬١٤
ever enter into it. Even Satan ‫ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ ﻭﻻ ﻣﻦ ﺧﻠﻔﻪ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻘﺮﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
himself will not get near this
True Furqan because it is an .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻋﺒﺌﹰﺎ ﺛﻘﻴ ﹰ‬
extremely heavy burden for the
hearts of the infidels to bear.
Let everyone remember, that
We are the Most Gracious, The
Omniscient God.

THE SHEPHERDS (Surat Al
Ru'aah)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺮﻋﺎﺓ‬٤٦

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﱀ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺭﺍﻉ ﺃﻭﺭﺩ‬١
1. An illustration of a good
messenger is a shepherd who ‫ﺭﻋﻴﺘﻪ ﻭﺭﺩﹰﺍ ﻃﻬﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﺭﺗﻌﹰﺎ ﺣﻼ ﹰﻻ‬
led his sheep to an excellent
watering stream and green
pastures.

‫( ﻓﺘﻘﺒﻠﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺑﻘﺒﻮﻝ ﺣﺴﻦ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢


2. Subsequently, We
accept-ed those sheep into Our .‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﻮﻥ ﻻ ﺧﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﳛﺰﻧﻮﻥ‬
fold with great delight. They are
indeed Our righteous
worshipers. Nei-ther danger nor
sorrow will affect them.

3. But an illustration of a ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﻋﻰ ﺍﻟﻄﺎﱀ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﻟﺺ ﺗﺴﻮﺭ‬٣


wicked shepherd is a thief who
climbed over the sheepfold. He ‫ﺣﻀﲑﺓ ﺍﳋﺮﺍﻑ ﻓﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺳﺮﻕ ﻭﺃﺿﻞ ﺍﳌﻬﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
killed and snatched, then led
astray those who knew the right .‫ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺩﻫﻢ ﻣﻮﺭﺩ ﺍﳍﺎﻟﻜﲔ‬
way, sending them to the pit,
where the unrepentant sinners
forever will stay.

4. They denounced the


precept of Truth. That decision ‫( ﻓﻜﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺍﳌﻐﻀﻮﺏ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ‬٤
caused them to become lost
people and the very ones upon .‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﻮﻥ‬
whom wrath is poured out
continually.
5. The fact is, the good
Shepherd sacrifices His very ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﻋﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﱀ ﻳﺒﺬﻝ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ‬٥
life for His flock. But the wicked
shepherd scatters his flock to ‫ﺭﻋﻴﺘﻪ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺍﻋﻰ ﺍﻟﻄﺎﱀ ﻳﺒﺪﺩ ﺭﻋﻴﺘﻪ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ‬
fulfill his own selfish desire. ‫ﺭﻏﺒﺘﻪ ﻓﻜﻞ ﻳﻌﻤﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺷﺎﻛﻠﺘﻪ ﻭﻳﻨﺎﻝ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ‬
Therefore, each shepherd
dem-onstrates his character by .‫ﻭﻓﺎﻗﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻈﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
what he does with the sheep
and will receive his fair reward
without impartiality .

6. No one will adhere to the ‫( ﻭﻻ ﻳﻌﺘﻨﻖ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ‬٦


creed of the infidel, ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ ﻭﺍﳉﻬﻠﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﺘﻠﺔ‬
theunen1igh-tened, the
murderer or the depraved ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺎﺟﺮﻭﻥ ﻓﺪﻳﻨﻬﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺷﺎﻛﻠﺘﻬﻢ ﻭﺇﻥ‬
except the infidels, the ignorant,
the murderers and the ‫ﳛﺼﺪﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻣﺎ ﻳﺰﺭﻋﻮﻥ‬
depraved. Accordingly, their
religion is suitable and
accom-modative to their
characters. For they will
definitely reap exactly what they
sow.

THE TESTIMONY (Surat AI
Shahada)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
1. O, you who are hypocrit-es,
yet still claim to be counted ‫ ﺃﱏ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
among Our worshipers: how ‫ﺗﺸﻬﺪﻭﻥ ﲟﺎ ﱂ ﺗﺸﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﺮﺩﺩﻭﻥ ﻣﺎﻻ‬
can you testify about what your
eyes have not witnessed and .‫ ﻟﻘﺪ ﺷﻬﺪﰎ ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ ﻭﻗﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﻬﺑﺘﹰﺎ ﻭﻧﻜﺮﹰﺍ‬.‫ﺗﻔﻘﻬﻮﻥ‬
repeat what you do not
comprehend? You have
actually testified false-ly,
declared dishonestly and have
spoken fraudulently.

2. You have related to the


people that information of which ‫( ﻭﺑﻠﻐﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﻔﺬﰎ‬٢
you are ignorant. You have
unlo-aded your backward ‫ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻴﺘﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﺳﺨﲔ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
knowledge upon the ones who .‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ﻓﺄﺛﻘﻠﺘﻢ ﻛﻮﺍﻫﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﺯﺭﹰﺍ‬
were well grounded in
scholarship and the religion of
truth, weighing them down with
a heavy burden.

3. Truth became incarnate in


flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, but ‫( ﻭﺷﺒﻪ ﻟﻜـﻢ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻓﻘﻬﺘـﻢ ﻟﻠﺘﺠﺴﺪ‬٣
you never could comprehend ‫ﻣﻌـﲎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻓﻬﻤﺘـﻢ ﻟﻸﺑـﻮﺓ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺒﻮﺓ ﻣﻐﺰﻯ‬
the incarnation one iota!
Neither did you understand the ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺩﺭﻛﺘـﻢ ﻟﻠﻔﺪﺍﺀ ﻣﺮﻣـﻰ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻋﻠﻤﺘـﻢ‬
meaning of Fatherhood or
Sonship. Even redemption was .‫ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ‬
an unfathomable
truth for your clouded
understanding. Thus, spiritual·
matters somehow escaped your
comprehension.
4. An illiterate infidel ‫ﻼ‬
‫( ﻭﻋﻠﻢ ﺍﻷﻣﻴﲔ ﺃﻣﻰ ﻛﺎﻓﺮ ﻓﺰﺍﺩﻫﻢ ﺟﻬ ﹰ‬٤
instructed the illiterates, who in
turn increased their ignorance .‫ﻭﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ‬
and infidelity.

‫( ﻭﺃﺧﺮﺟﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ‬٥


5. Astonishingly, he led them
by hook and crook out of light .‫ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻬﻢ ﻗﺴﺮﹰﺍ‬
into darkness and led them
astray.

‫( ﻓﺎﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻳﺒﺪﺩ ﺍﻟﻈﻼﻡ ﻭﺍﻟﻈﻼﻡ ﻻ ﻳﻄﻔﻰﺀ‬٦


6. Light dispels darkness and
darkness cannot snuff out the ‫ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﺑﻞ ﻳﺰﻳﺪ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺇﳝﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻭﻳﺴﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
light. Instead, it intensifies the
faith of the believers with more .‫ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻋﺴﺮﹰﺍ‬
resolve. But the unbelievers
end up with more dread and
damnation.

7. Consequently, whosoever
walks in the light shall not ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺳﺎﺭ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻻ ﻳﻌﺜﺮ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺳﺎﺭ ﰱ‬٧
stumble. But whosoever walks
in the dark shall accumulate .‫ﺍﻟﻈﻼﻡ ﻳﺰﺩﺍﺩ ﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ‬
more wickedness and
faithlessness.

THE GUIDANCE (Surat Al
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳍﺪﻯ‬٤٨
Huda)

In the Name of the Father,. ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
the Word, the Holy Spirit, the
One and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

‫ﻼ ﻣﻨﲑﹰﺍ‬
‫( ﻭﺃﺭﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺟﺴﺪﹰﺍ ﺳﻠﻴﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﻋﻘ ﹰ‬١
1. We aspired for Our
worshipers a wholesome body, ‫ﻭﻗﻠﺒﹰﺎ ﻃﻬﲑﹰﺍ ﻟﻴﻬﺘﺪﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﻭﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬
an enlightened mind and a pure .‫ﻭﻳﻨﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ‬
heart. The purpose was to be
guided to Our path, to live by
Our criterion and to enter Our
paradise of abundant grace and
eternal peace.

2. We have also healed the ‫( ﻭﺷﻔﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻷﻛﻤﺔ ﻭﺍﻷﺑﺮﺹ ﻓﺠﺌﺘﻢ ﺗﻐﺸﻮﻥ‬٢


blind and the leper. But when .‫ﻋﻴﻮﻥ ﺍﳌﺒﺼﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﺗﻨﺠﺴﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻄﺎﻫﺮﻳﻦ‬
the imposters arrived they
blinded the eyes of those who
could see and defiled those
who were cleansed.

3. Furthermore, We brought
to life those who were dead. ‫( ﻭﺃﺣﻴﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﻮﺗﻰ ﻓﺮﺣﺘﻢ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﻷﺣﻴﺎﺀ‬٣
But the deceivers commenced .‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
to kill those who were living
righteous lives.
4. Additionally, We guided the
lost back to the path. But the .‫( ﻭﻫﺪﻳﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻓﺠﺌﺘﻢ ﺗﻀﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﳌﻬﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬٤
imposters came along leading
them astray.

5. You have even accused Us ‫( ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘـﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨـﺎ ﺍﻟﻜـﺬﺏ ﺇﺫ ﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ‬٥


of lying by announcing that We
inspired a new decree unto ‫ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﺸﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ‬
you, which permits infidelity,
killing and oppression. .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ‬

6. Let it be known that We do


not command the killing of Our
created beings, even if they are ‫( ﺃﻻ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﻮﺣﻰ ﺑﻘﺘﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬٦
pagans or apostates.
.‫ﻛﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬

7. Such "decree of bad faith"


is the inspiration of the wicked
and rebellious Satan. ‫( ﻟﻜﻨﻬﺎ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﻭﺣﻰ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬٧
.‫ﻋﻨﻴﺪ‬

8. Had you brought forth what


Our righteous messengers
have presented you of divine
truth and right guidance, you ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﺟﺌﺘﻢ ﲟﺜﻞ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺎﺀ ﺑﻪ ﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﻮﻥ‬٨
too would have been among
Our chosen few. ‫ﻣﻦ ﺣﻖ ﻭﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﻟﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
‫ﻋ ﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ‬
9. Instead, you have ‫( ﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﺃﻓﺴﺪﰎ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﺃﺣﺒﻄﺘﻢ‬٩
corrupt-ed the path of Our
worshipers. You have also .‫ﻣﺴﻌﺎﻫﻢ ﻓﻬﺒﻄﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺩﺭﻙ ﺳﺤﻴﻖ‬
hindered their efforts to reach
Us, causing them to descend
into a deep level of despair.

10. Satan made your evil ‫( ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺳﻮﺀ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﻟﻜﻢ‬١٠
deeds look attractive to you and ‫" ﻻ ﻏﺎﻟﺐ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻭﺇﱏ‬:‫ﻭﻗﺎﻝ‬
announced, "No one will
conquer you now from among ."‫ﺟﺎﺭ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻓﻼ ﲢﺸﻮﺍ ﺑﺄﺱ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
humans. I am a neighbor to
you, so do not fear any
aggressors or their aggression.
"

11. Thus, you trusted the lies ‫( ﻓﺼﺪﻗﺘﻬﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﳍﺪﻯ‬١١
and mistrusted the truth. You
ended up following the path of . ‫ﻭﺍﺗﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
the misguided.

THE GOSPEL (Surat AI Injil) ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬٤٩
In the Name of the Father, the

and only True God ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. O, you who have gone ":‫ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
astray, yet still claim to be
counted among Our followers: ‫ﻭﻟﻴﺤﻜﻢ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﺍﷲ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻭﻣﻦ ﱂ‬
you declare, "Let the people of ."‫ﳛﻜﻢ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﺍﷲ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻔﺎﺳﻘﻮﻥ‬
The True Gospel judge what
God inspired in it. Those who
will not accept what God
inspired are the ungodly for
certain. "

2. You did not revere what ‫( ﻓﻤﺎ ﺣﻜﻤﺘﻢ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺑﻞ ﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬٢
We inspired, rather you ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺣﺮﻓﺘﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﺤﻖ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻜﻢ‬
accused The True Gospel of
being lies and perverted Our .‫ﺍﻟﻔﺎﺳﻘﻮﻥ‬
doctrines. Your conviction
about the ungodly became
most fitting for yourselves.

3. Is it ever practical for the ‫( ﻭﺃﱏ ﻳﻠﻄﻢ ﻛﻒ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﳐﺮﺯﹰﺍ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﺈﻥ‬٣
hand of dishonesty to· fight the
spike of honesty and win? If ‫ﺗﻨﺼﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﻓﺪﻭﻟﺔ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ ﺳﺎﻋﺔ ﻭﺩﻭﻟﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
you champion the cause of
corruption the kingdom of .‫ﺧﺎﻟﺪﺓ ﻟﻮ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﺬﻛﺮﻭﻥ‬
corruption will last only for an
hour. In contrast, the Kingdom
of Truth will last forever and
forever.
4. You proclaim, "In case you ‫" ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺖ ﰱ ﺷﻚ ﳑﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﺍﷲ‬:‫( ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬٤
are in doubt of the validity of
what We have conveyed, seek "‫ﻓﺴﺎﺋﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻘﺮﺃﻭﻥ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻠﻚ‬
the counsel of those who read
The True Gospel, which was ‫ﻓﺈﱏ ﺗﻐﺎﻟﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﺄﻟﻮﻥ‬
revealed ahead of you." Why ‫ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻛﺮ ؟ ﻓﺈﻧﻜﻢ ﰱ ﺷﻚ ﳑﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ‬
then do you persist in your
ungodliness and stubbornness .‫ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
by not seeking the counsel of
the People of The Book? You
actually doubt what We inspired
in The True Gospel because
you do not really trust what you
claim to have in yours.

5. Therefore, you did not ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺍﺑﺘﻐﻴﺘﻢ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬٥
pursue the conduct of love,
compassion and peace. Neither ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺳﺄﻟﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻘﺮﺃﻭﻥ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺍﻫﺘﺪﻳﺘﻢ‬
did you pursue the help of .‫ﻬﺑﺪﺍﻫﻢ ﻓﻀﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﻭﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ‬
those who read The True
Gospel. Nor did you obtain its
divine guidance to emulate it.
Thus, you lost your way and
turned out to be among the ill-
informed until doomsday.

6. O, you who have believed ‫ ﺃﱂ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬـﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ‬٦


from among Our worshipers:
have you not taken notice of ‫ﺗـﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴـﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ‬
those who rejected The True
Gospel, how they purchased ‫ﻛﻴﻒ ﺍﺷﺘـﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻀـﻼﻟﺔ ﺑﺎﳍـﺪﻯ ﻭﺿﻠـﻮﺍ‬
falsehood with guidance! They ‫ﺳـﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﻭﺣﺮﻓـﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﻠـﻢ‬
abandoned the perfect
principles of conduct and
defiled Our scriptures in various ‫ﻋﻦ ﻣﻮﺍﺿﻌﻪ ﻃﻌﻨﹰﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻟﻮ ﺃﻬﻧﻢ‬
sections of The Book degrading
True Religion. Had they ‫ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﲰﻌﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻃﻌﻨﺎ ﻟﻜﺎﻥ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﳍﻢ ﻭﻟﻜﻨﻬﻢ‬
answer-ed, "We have both .‫ﺃﻣﻌﻨﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬

have been to their advantage.
Instead, they persisted in their
apostasy and no longer trust
Us.

THE POL YTHEISTS (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﲔ‬٥٠
Mushrikeen)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who have become


polytheists, yet still claim to be : ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
counted among Our
worshipers: you have forced ‫ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﺭﻣﻴﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺸﺮﻙ‬
Our believing servants to give
up their faith. You then infused ‫ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺃﻬﻧﻢ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺜﺎﻟﻮﺙ ﻣﻈﻬﺮﻧﺎ‬.‫ﺍﳌﻮﺣﺪﻳﻦ‬
the monotheists with polytheism ‫ﻓﻌﺒﺪﻭﻧﺎ ﺁﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﺣﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻗﺒﻠﻮﺍ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺭﺳﻮ ﹰﻻ ﺭﲪﺎﻧﺎ‬
and accused them with
apostasy because they have ‫ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺮﻭﺣﻨﺎ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ‬
trusted Our manifestation in the
Triune God. You did not realize .‫ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
fully that they worshiped Us as
the one and only Heavenly
Father, accepted Us, The
Word, as the most beneficent
messenger and believed in Our
Spirit as the most Merciful Holy
One. Actually, they have neither
become polytheists nor added
an associate to Us by believing
in this manner.

2. Let us clarify this doctrine. ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ‬٢
Any human being who joins
himself to Us as an associate ‫ﺍﳊﻮﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﻮﺓ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ‬
and assumes to be Our partner
in power and might has indeed
‫ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﲟﺮﺳﻠﻪ ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻭﺿﻞ‬
become a polytheist. No true .‫ﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ ﺑﻌﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
'prophet has ever made himself
a partner with the God who sent
him. Therefore, whosoever
adds an associate to Our
Person becomes an apostate
who has gone astray. No
human being can ever attain
divinity. But We Ourselves can
be incarnated into a human
being as We did in Jesus, the
Messiah.

3. Therefore, the one who ‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺇﻃﺎﻋﺔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﺫ‬٣
associates the obedience of
Our servants to Us with the ‫" ﻣﻦ ﻳﻄﻊ ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﻃﺎﻉ ﺍﷲ " ﻭﻫﺬﺍ‬:‫ﻗﺎﻝ‬
obedience to himself has
indeed become a polytheist. He
.‫ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ ﺍﻟﻌﻈﻴﻢ‬
declared, "Whoso-ever obeys
the messenger has actually
obeyed God." Without a doubt
this is the height of polytheism.
4. Furthermore, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﺳﺘﺠﺎﺑﺔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﺫ‬٤
associates Our answer to the
prayers of Our worshipers as ‫" ﺇﺳﺘﺠﻴﺒﻮﺍ ﷲ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ" ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﺠﻴﺐ‬: ‫ﺗﻼ‬
his polytheist. He announced, .‫ﻟﻠﻤﺸﺮﻙ ﺇﻻ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
"Re-spond to God and His
messenger. "

5. Again, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﳊﻜﻢ ﺑﲔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٥


associates Our rule among Our
people with his rule has ‫" ﺇﺫﺍ ﺗﻨﺎﺯﻋﺘﻢ ﰱ ﺷﻰﺀ ﻓﺮﺩﻭﻩ ﺇﱃ ﺍﷲ‬: ‫ﺇﺫ ﻗﺎﻝ‬
become a polytheist. He ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ " ﻓﺄﱏ ﳛﻜﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻣﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻇﻼﻣﹰﺎ‬
proclaimed, "Whenever you
quarrel over something bring .‫ﻟﻌﺒﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
the problem to God and his
messenger." How can a person
be just in his ruling when he
has previously been tyrannical
in dealing with Our believing
children?

6. Moreover, this messenger


even abrogated what he had ‫" ﺃﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺃﻧﺖ ﲢﻜﻢ ﺑﲔ‬:‫( ﰒ ﻧﺴﺦ ﻗﻮﻟﻪ ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻪ‬٦
just proclaimed, "0, God, you ."‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻙ ﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻓﻴﻪ ﳜﺘﻠﻔﻮﻥ‬
are the one who hands out
judgment among your people
concerning the matter in which
they quarrel. "
7. Also, the one who ":‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻗﺎﻝ‬٧
associ-ates the promise of trust
in Us as an indication of trust in ‫ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ" ﻭﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻦ ﺑﺎﳌﺸﺮﻙ ﺇﻻ‬
himself has become a
polytheist. He announced, "Put .‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
your trust in God and his
messenger." No one trusts a
polytheist except the apostates.

8. Furthermore, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﻏﻨﺎﺋﻤﻪ ﻭﺃﻧﻔﺎﻟﻪ‬٨


makes Us an associate of his in
his captivities and spoils of war ‫" ﺍﻷﻧﻔﺎﻝ ﷲ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ" ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻟﻔﻰ ﻏﲎ‬:‫ﺇﺫ ﺗﻼ‬
has become a polytheist. He .‫ﻋﻦ ﺃﻧﻔﺎﻝ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻭﺃﺳﻼﺏ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
recited, "The spoils of war
belong to God and his
messenger." Suffice it to say
that we have no need for the
spoils of war won by the
oppressors and the lawless.

9. Also, the one who claims ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺧﻴﺎﻧﺔ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﻟﻪ‬٩
that he and We are responsible
partners whenever his ‫" ﻻ ﲣﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ " ﻭﻟﺌﻦ ﺧﺎﻧﺔ‬:‫ﺇﺫ ﻗﺎﻝ‬
compan-ions betray him has
become a polytheist. He said, ‫ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﻓﻼ ﳜﻮﻧﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﻮﻥ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ‬
"Do not betray either God or his .‫ﻣﻦ ﺧﺎﺋﻨﲔ‬
messen-ger. " Even if his own
adherents betray him, Our
righteous worshipers do not
betray Us because there are no
traitors among them.
10. Again, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﻋﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ‬١٠
makes Us a partner when his ‫" ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﻌﺺ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ " ﻓﺈﻥ‬: ‫ﻟﻪ ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻪ‬
companions rebel against him
has become a polytheist. If his .‫ﻋﺼﻴﻪ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻋﺼﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻄﻴﻌﻮﻥ‬
companions rebelled against
him Our obedient followers
certainly do not follow suit.

11. Furthermore, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺣﺮﻭﺑﻪ ﻭﻗﺘﺎﻟﻪ‬١١
makes Us a partner in his
warfare and killing has become ‫" ﺇﳕﺎ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﳛﺎﺭﺑﻮﻥ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ‬:‫ﻭﻗﺎﻝ‬
a polytheist. He claimed, "The
punishment of those who fight ‫ﺃﻥ ﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ " ﻭﻣﺎ ﺧﻠﻘﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻴﺤﺎﺭﺑﻮﻧﺎ‬
God and his messenger is ‫ﻓﻨﻘﺘﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ‬
execution. " We certainly did
not create Our worshipers to .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺒﲑ‬
fight against Us so We would
have an excuse to execute
them. Such behavior is the
height of apostasy and
polytheism.

12. Additionally, the one who


claims to share in Our power of
redemption has become a
polytheist. He affirmed, "Indeed ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﻭﻻﻳﺘﻨﺎ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٢
your redeemer is God and his ‫" ﺇﳕﺎ ﻭﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ " ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ‬: ‫ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻪ‬
messenger. " There has never
been a redeemer for Our .‫ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﱃ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﲔ‬
people who originated from
among the polytheists.
13. And the one who makes ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺗﱪﺋﺔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﺫ‬١٣
himself a partner with Us in
justifying Our people has ‫" ﺑﺮﺍﺀﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ " ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﺒﺸﺮ‬:‫ﺗﻼ‬
indeed become a polytheist.
"Justifica-tion comes from God .‫ﺃﻥ ﻳﱪﻯﺀ ﺑﺸﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺪﺭ ﳏﺘﻮﻡ‬
and his messenger," he
proclaimed. There has never
been a human being who is
capable to justify or exonerate
another human being from a
predestined doom.

14. Besides that, the one who ":‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﻋﻬﻮﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﺫ ﻗﺎﻝ‬١٤
makes himself an associate in ‫ﻛﻴﻒ ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﻟﻠﻤﺸﺮﻛﲔ ﻋﻬﺪ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﷲ ﻭﻋﻨﺪ‬
Our covenants with mankind
has become a polytheist. He ‫ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ " ﺇﻻ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ ﺷﺮﻳﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﻋﻬﻮﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻻ‬
empha-sized, "How can it be
that polytheists have a .‫ﻳﻌﺎﻫﺪ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻙ ﺇﻻ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
covenant relationship with God
and his messenger?" Let Us
explain that there is no partner
with Us in Our Covenants and
never was such. No one makes
a covenant with a polytheist
except other polytheists.

15. In addition, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﱘ‬١٥


joins himself to Us as a partner
in the forbidding or the ‫" ﻭﻻ ﳛﺮﻣﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻡ ﺍﷲ‬:‫ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺤﻠﻴﻞ ﺇﺫ ﺗﻼ‬
sanctioning of anything has
become a polytheist. He ‫ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ" ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﻠﻴﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﱘ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ‬
recited, "They will not forbid .‫ﻭﻻ ﺷﺮﻳﻚ ﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
what God and his messenger
have forbidden." The authority
in the world of sanctioning or
forbidding is Ours only and in
this supreme prerogative We
have no partner.

16. Furthermore, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺇﻏﻨﺎﺀ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٦
counts himself as an associate
of Ours in enriching Our
‫" ﺃﻏﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ " ﻭﺃﱏ ﻳﻐﲎ ﺍﳌﻌﺪﻡ‬:‫ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻪ‬
followers is a polytheist. His ‫ﺍﳌﻌﺪﻣﲔ ؟‬
words are, "God and his
messenger has enriched them.
" Is it conceivable that a
penniless man can bestow
riches upon a penniless
people?

17. Additionally, the one who ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﺑﻜﻔﺮ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﺇﺫ‬١٧
makes himself a partner with
Us by claiming that his ‫" ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺎﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ" ﻭﺇﻧﻪ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ‬:‫ﻗﺎﻝ‬
followers blasphemed against
Us and him is himself a
.‫ﻭﻓﻌﻞ ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﲔ‬
polytheist. He pro-nounced,
"They have blasphemed
against God and his
messenger." Such
pronouncements originate from
the apostates and the work of
polytheists.

18. Moreover, the one who


makes Us his partner whenever ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺗﻜﺬﻳﺐ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬١٨
he accuses others of calling
him dishonest has become a " ‫" ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ‬: ‫ﻟﻪ ﻓﻘﺎﻝ‬
poly-theist. He said, "Those
people have accused God and ‫ﻟﻘـﺪ ﺻـﺪﻕ ﺍﻟﺬﻳـﻦ ﻛﺬﺑـﻮﻩ ﻭﻛﺬﺏ‬
his messenger of dishonesty."
In fact, his accusers have told .‫ﺍﳌﺼﺪﻗﻮﻥ‬
the truth about him, whereas
the ones who believed him
were dishonest themselves.

19. Again, the one who joins ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﻣﺮﺍﻗﺒﺔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﺫ‬١٩
himself to us as a partner in "‫" ﺇﻋﻤﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﺳﲑﻯ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻤﻠﻜﻢ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ‬: ‫ﺗﻼ‬
watching over Our worshipers
has become a polytheist. He .‫ﻭﺃﱏ ﻳﺮﻯ ﻣﻦ ﺿﻞ ﻭﻣﺎﻟﻪ ﻣﻦ ﻗﻠﺐ ﻭﻋﻴﻮﻥ‬
recited, "Go ahead with your
good deeds for God and his
messenger shall watch over
your deeds." How can one see
anything when he himself has
gone astray? He has neither a
heart to understand nor eyes to
see what goes on over this vast
creation.

20. Also, the one who makes ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﻭﻋﺪ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﻭﺭ‬٢٠
himself an associate of Ours by ‫" ﻣﺎ ﻭﻋﺪﻧﺎ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ ﺇﻻ ﻏﺮﻭﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﻻ‬:‫ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻪ‬
the promise of deception on
Our part has become a .‫ﻳﻌﺪ ﻭﻋﺪ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﻭﺭ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻌﲔ‬
polytheist. It is recorded, "God
and his messenger have
promised us nothing except a
false promise." No one makes a
fake promise but Satan, the
supreme apostate.
21. The one who joins Us as ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺃﺟﺮ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﺗﻨﲔ ﻭﺗﻼ‬٢١
the One who repays the upright
has become a polytheist. He ‫" ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﻘﻨﺖ ﻣﻨﻜﻦ ﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ ﻭﺗﻌﻤﻞ ﺻﺎﳊﹰﺎ‬:
recited, "Whosoever among
your women who submits ‫ﻧﺆﻬﺗﺎ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﺎ ﻣﺮﺗﲔ " ﻟﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻭﺫﻝ ﻣﻦ‬
herself to God and his ‫ﺍﺳﺘﻜﱪ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﻠﻰ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺪﺭﻙ ﺇﱃ ﻋﻠﻴﲔ ﻓﻼ‬
messenger and practices
righteousness, We shall reward .‫ﻳﻘﻨﺖ ﺑﺸﺮ ﻟﺒﺸﺮ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ ﻭﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
her twofold. " Anyone who lifts
himself high and becomes
arrogant has blasphemed and
will be humiliated. No human
submits himself to another
human except the slaves. the
backsliders and the polytheists.

22. The one who joins Us as


a participant in experiencing ": ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺫﻯ ﻭﺗﻼ‬٢٢
affliction has become a ‫ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺆﺫﻥ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ" ﻭﻻ ﻳﺆﺫﻳﻨﻨﺎ ﺃﺣﺪ‬
polytheist. He announced. "As
for those who afflict God and .‫ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻷﺫﻯ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺆﺫﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
his messenger ... " No one can
ever afflict Us. But affliction is
the punishment of those who
hurt Our believing followers.

23. The one who makes ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨـﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨـﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺪﻕ ﺇﺫﺍ‬٢٣
himself a partner to Us in telling ‫" ﻟﻘﺪ ﺻﺪﻕ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ " ﻭﺃﱏ ﻳﺼﺪﻕ‬: ‫ﺗﻼ‬
the Truth has become a
polytheist. He stated. "God has .‫ﻣﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﲔ‬
spoken truthfully and so did his
messenger. " Is it possible that
one who comes from among
the deceitful would always tell
the truth?
24. The one who makes ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﳌﺒﺎﻳﻌﺔ‬٢٤
himself an associate of Ours in ‫" ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺒﺎﻳﻌﻮﻧﻚ ﺇﳕﺎ ﻳﺒﺎﻳﻌﻮﻥ ﺍﷲ " ﻭﻣﺎ‬:‫ﻭﻗﺎﻝ‬
endorsement has become a
polytheist. He stated. "Those ‫ﻛﻨﺎ ﲝﺎﺟﺔ ﳌﺒﺎﻳﻌﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺒﺎﻳﻊ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮ ﺇﻻ‬
who endorse you are in fact
endorsing God himself. " We .‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻭﻥ‬
have never been in need of the
endorsement of blasphemers.
No one supports a deceiver
except those who are deceived
themselves.

25. The one who makes Us


an associate of his in ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﶈﺎﺩﺓ ﺇﺫ‬٢٥
challenging others has become ‫" ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﳛﺎﺩﻭﻥ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ " ﻭﻻ‬:‫ﻗﺎﻝ‬
a polytheist. He proclaimed,
"And those who challenge God . ‫ﳛﺎﺩﺩﻧﺎ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
and his messenger . . . " No
one in the universe can
challenge Us for We are the
Mightiest in the universe.

26. The one who claims ‫( ﻭﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻌﺰﺓ ﻭﲡﺮﺃ‬٢٦
partnership with Us in might
has become a polytheist. He ‫" ﻭﷲ ﺍﻟﻌﺰﺓ ﻭﻟﺮﺳﻮﻟﻪ " ﻓﻬﻞ ﻬﺑﺪ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻣﻦ‬:‫ﻓﺘﻼ‬
recited boldly, "Might belongs to
God and to his apostle." Can .‫ﺷﺮﻙ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﺍﻥ‬
there be any worse type of
polytheism and blasphemy than
this declaration?"
27. O, you who have become
polytheists and apostates from ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢٧
Our people: you have accused ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﻳﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬: ‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬
Our faithful and trusted
worship-ers of lying by claiming .‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻓﺰﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻬﻧﻢ ﻣﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
that they are polytheists.

28. Are you not aware that ‫( ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻫﻢ ﺧﲑ ﺍﳌﻮﺣﺪﻳﻦ‬٢٨


Our trusting worshipers are the
greatest of monotheists! And ‫ﻭﺇﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺷﺎﺭﻛﻨﺎ ﺍﳊﻮﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺰﺓ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺷﺮ‬
that whosoever associates .‫ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﲔ‬
himself to Us in might and glory
is the worst of polytheists!

‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻓﻜﺄﳕﺎ ﺧﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ‬٢٩


29. Whosoever joins anyone
to Us is like unto some creature ‫ﻓﺘﺨﻄﻔﻪ ﺍﻟﻄﲑ ﺃﻭ ﻬﺗﻮﻯ ﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﺮﻳﺢ ﰱ ﻗﺮﺍﺭ‬
who has fallen from the sky.
Either the vultures will snatch .‫ﺳﺤﻴﻖ‬
him away or the wild wind will
blow him into a bottomless pit
where he will never ever see
the light of day.

30. Therefore, We admonish ‫( ﻓﻼ ﲡﻌﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻌﻨﺎ ﺷﺮﻳﻜﹰﺎ ﲝﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﻗﻮﺗﻨﺎ‬٣٠


everyone, do not join anyone to
Our Person in might, honor or .‫ﻭﻋﺰﺗﻨﺎ ﻓﺘﻘﻌﺪﻭﺍ ﻣﺬﻣﻮﻣﲔ ﳐﺬﻭﻟﲔ‬
glory. F or if you do you will
incur a severe curse upon
yourself and will be vanquished
forever in the infernal Abyss.

THE JUDGMENT (Surat Al
Hukm)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﳊﻜﻢ‬٥١

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who are fabricators


of lies from among Our misled
‫ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
worshipers: you announce, "We ‫" ﺁﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﺑﺎﷲ ﻭﲟﺎ ﺃﻭﺗﻰ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺒﻴﻮﻥ ﻻ‬:
believe in God and what was
given to Jesus and the ‫ ﻭﺗﻠﻚ ﺍﻟﺮﺳﻞ ﻓﻀﻠﻨﺎ‬،‫ﻧﻔﺮﻕ ﺑﲔ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ‬
prophets. We make no
differentiation among them. Yet
"‫ﺑﻌﻀﻬﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺑﻌﺾ‬
from among those messengers
We have preferred some over
others."

2. And the People of The ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻳﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﺁﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﺁﻧﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﻴﻞ‬٢
Book, recite Our scriptures
even during the nighttime. They
‫ﻭﻫﻢ ﻳﺴﺠﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻳﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ‬
bow down and trust Us. They ‫ﺑﺎﳌﻌﺮﻭﻑ ﻭﻳﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﻳﺴﺮﻋﻮﻥ ﰱ‬
command the practice of
goodwill and forbid the works of ‫ﺍﳋﲑﺍﺕ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
immorality. They hasten to the
performance of good deeds.
Such people are among the
righteous ones.
3. You remark, "O, People of ‫ " ﻳﺎﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻟﺴﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ‬: ‫( ﻭﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ‬٣
The Book, you have nothing to
stand on until you practice the ‫ﺷﻰﺀ ﺣﱴ ﺗﻘﻴﻤﻮﺍ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
instructions of the Gospel and ."‫ﺭﺑﻜﻢ ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
whatever your Lord has sent
down to you if you truly believe.
"

‫( ﰒ ﻧﻜﺼﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻋﻘﺎﺑﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﻜﺮﰎ ﻣﺎ‬٤


4. Then you turned on your
heels and denied what you had ‫" ﻳﺎﺃﻫﻞ‬: ‫ﺍﺩﻋﻴﺘﻢ ﻭﻧﺴﺨﺘﻢ ﻗﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻜﻢ‬
declared and annulled your
statements by proclaiming, "O, ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﱂ ﺗﻜﻔﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺗﺸﻬﺪﻭﻥ‬
People of The Book, why have ‫ﻭﻟﻮ ﺃﻥ ﺍﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﻟﻜﻔﺮﻧﺎ‬
you blasphemed the signs of
God when you witness about ‫ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﺳﻴﺌﺎﻬﺗﻢ " ﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻓﻜﺘﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﻄﻘﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ‬
Him? If the People of The Book
trusted and feared us, we .‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻘﺴﻄﲔ‬
would have redeemed them
from their vile deeds. " You
have lied. You have not spoken
truthfully. You are not fair-
minded.

5. O, people who
misrepresent the truth, yet still : ‫( ﻳﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٥
count yourselves among Our ‫ﺃﺣﻜﻤﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺃﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺃﻡ‬
worshipers: judge the People of
The Book equitably, whether ‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ؟ ﻭﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﺃﺻﺪﻗﺘﻢ‬
they have blasphemed or
should be numbered among the ‫ﺃﻡ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﲔ ؟‬
faithful. Then judge yourselves
whether you are trustworthy or
should be numbered among the
deceivers.
6. If you find them to have ‫( ﻓﺈﻥ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﲔ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬٦
blasphemed, you must be
number-ed among the .‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺻﺪﻗﺘﻢ ﻭﺃﻓﻚ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
deceivers. But if they are
numbered among the believers,
then you have spoken truthfully.
While the fabricators lied.

7. Why do you assign ‫( ﻭﺃﱏ ﲢﻜﻤﻮﻥ ﻏﲑ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬٧


authority to another document,
instead of The True Gospel, ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ ﻭﻓﻴﻬﻤﺎ ﺣﻜﻤﻨﺎ ؟ ﻓﺈﻥ‬
and the True Furqan when they
embody our precepts. F or if .‫ﺗﻮﻟﻴﺘﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﳌﺒﻄﻠﻮﻥ‬
you depart from them you are
hypocrites through and through.

8. We have conveyed The ‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﻧﻮﺭ‬٨
True Furqan in which there is
guidance and light. Use it in ‫ﻓﺎﺣﻜﻤﻮﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻭﻛﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺷﻬﺪﺍﺀ ﻭﻻ ﲣﺸﻮﺍ‬
your governing and be
witnesses to its veracity. Fear ‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﻞ ﺃﺧﺸﻮﻧﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺸﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﲦﻨﹰﺎ‬
not other people, but fear Us. .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻗﻠﺒ ﹰ‬
Do not regard Our Scripture as
cheap in value.

9. Whosoever will not


govern by what We have sent
down, will definitely turn out to
be blasphemers. ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﻻ ﳛﻜﻢ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ‬٩
.‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
10. Do you wish to pursue the ‫( ﺃﻓﺤﻜﻢ ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﻴﺔ ﺗﺒﺘﻐﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ‬١٠
doctrines of the age of
ignorance, a soul for a soul, an ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﺑﺎﻟﻌﲔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻦ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻦ ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ‬
eye for an eye, a tooth for a .‫ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﲔ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺧﻠﺖ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ‬
tooth? That was the tradition of
the ancients. Do you not realize
that the creed of men of old is
null and void?

11. We proclaim to all ‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻭﺗﺼﺪﻗﻮﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻛﻔﺎﺭﺓ ﻟﻜﻢ‬١١


mankind, you should not take .‫ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ‬
vengeance. Rather return good
for evil in such circumstances,
for it can turn into a redemptive
act for you. That is if you trust
and obey what we say.

12. Divine Truth is the scale ‫( ﺃﳊﻖ ﻣﻴﺰﺍﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﺎﻣﺔ ﻓﻤﻦ‬١٢
of fairness on the Day of
Resurrection. Whosever's ‫ﺛﻘﻠﺖ ﻣﻮﺍﺯﻳﻨﻪ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺍﳌﻔﻠﺤﻮﻥ ﻭﻣﻦ‬
scales tip over will be among
those who are victorious. ‫ﺧﻔﺖ ﻣﻮﺍﺯﻳﻨﻪ ﻓﺄﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺧﺴﺮﻭﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ‬
Whosever's scales go upward .‫ﲟﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻳﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ‬
will be among those who are
vanquished because they firmly
denounced Our scriptures as
corrupted revelation.
‫ ﻛﻮﻧﻮﺍ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٣
13. O, you who have firmly
believed from among Our ‫ﻗﻮﺍﻣﲔ ﺷﻬﺪﺍﺀ ﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﺣﻜﻤﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻭﻻ‬
worshipers: make yourselves
more dignified witnesses for Us. ‫ﳛﻤﻠﻨﻜﻢ ﺍﳍﻮﻯ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻥ ﻻ ﺗﻌﺎﺩﻟﻮﺍ ﺍﻋﺪﻟﻮﺍ ﻫﻮ‬
Do not let your own whim push .‫ﺃﻗﺮﺏ ﻟﻠﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﳊﺴﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻌﺴﲑ‬
you to practice injustice, but
rule justly. When you are fair-
minded you are much closer to
Our divine standard. As you live
from day to day you must take
into account the reckoning Day
of Judgment.

14. One day there arose a ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻡ ﺿﺎﻝ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀـﻼﻝ ﻓﺎﺳﺘﻌﺒﺪ‬١٤
seducer from among the
deceived who subjugated them. ‫ﺭﻗﺎﻬﺑﻢ ﻭﻗﻬـﺮ ﻓﻮﻗﻬـﻢ ﻭﻏﻤﻂ ﺣﻘﻬـﻢ‬
He also misappropriated their ‫ﻭﺃﺫﳍﻢ ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺩﻫـﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺑﻘـﻰ ﳍـﻢ‬
rights, humiliated them and
delivered them to The Fire. He ‫ "ﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﳌﺆﻣﻦ ﻭﻻ‬:‫ﺧﲑﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﺮﻫﻢ ﻭﺗﻼ‬
left them without an escape
hatch from doom. Moreover, he ‫ﻣﺆﻣـﻨﺔ ﺇﺫﺍ ﻗﻀﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ ﺃﻣـﺮﹰﺍ ﺍﻥ‬
recited, "A believing man or a ‫ﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﳍﻢ ﺍﳋـﲑﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﺮﻫـﻢ ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﻌﺺ‬
believing woman has no
recourse from whatever God .‫ﺍﷲ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻪ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺿﻞ ﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
and his Messenger intended for
their eternal destiny.
Whosoever disobeys God and
his messenger turns into a
reprobate soul who has lost his
way."

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who have lost your


way, yet still claim to be ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
counted among Our
worshipers: you have
":‫ﺗﻮﻋﺪﰎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻓﻘﻠﺘﻢ‬
threatened Our trusting ‫ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﻭﺗﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ‬
servants by impersonating Us.
You stated, "0, you who have ‫ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﳌﺎ ﻣﻌﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻞ ﺃﻥ ﻧﻄﻤﺲ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﹰﺎ‬
been given The Book, trust in
what We have sent as a
‫ﻓﻨﺮﺩﻫﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﺩﺑﺎﺭﻫﺎ ﻭﻧﻠﻌﻨﻬﻢ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻟﻌﻨﺎ‬
supporter of what you have ."‫ﺃﺻﺤﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﺖ ﻟﻌﻨﹰﺎ‬
had. If you will not, We will
shame some faces and turn
them backwards and denounce
them just as We denounced the
keepers of the Sabbath with a
curse."

2. We have sent down the


unchangeable standards in the
immutable commandments and ‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ‬٢
The True Gospel which are true
declarations by Our own eternal
‫ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﺻﺪﻗﻨﺎﻫﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺗﺼﺪﻳﻘﹰﺎ‬
decree. We have even ‫ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺳﻮﺍﻫﺎ ﻣﻌﺎﺭﺿﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﻧﺎﺳﺨﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ‬
approved them by The True
Furqan in an outspoken .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺑﺪﻳ ﹰ‬
fashion. Thus, We have
inspired nothing else like them,
neither contrary to them, nor
abrogating or replacing them.

3. Had there been another


‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻟﻜﺎﻥ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻭﻟﻦ ﲡﺪﻭﺍ ﻟﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬٣
inspiration We would have .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻧﺴﺨﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺒﺪﻳ ﹸ‬
caused it to be a proof of the
already revealed ones, (The
Torah, Zabur and The True
Gospel.) Therefore, you will
never ever discover any
abrogation to Our decree nor
any changing of it thereof

4. Why is it that you conspire ‫( ﻓﺄﱏ ﺗﺒﺘﻐﻮﻥ ﻟﺼﺮﺍﻃﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﻋﻮﺟﹰﺎ‬٤


to exchange Our upright path
for a crooked one and our
‫ﻼ؟‬
‫ﻭﳍﺪﺍﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻨﲑ ﺗﻀﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
bright highway for a darkened
one?

5. Have you observed your


partners whom you call upon ‫( ﺃﺭﺃﻳﺘﻢ ﺷﺮﻛﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺗﺪﻋﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ‬٥
besides Us? Display to Us what
they have created on the earth
‫ﺃﺭﻭﻧﺎ ﻣﺎﺫﺍ ﺧﻠﻘﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﺃﻡ ﳍﻢ ﺷﺮﻙ ﰱ‬
or who is their partner in the ‫ ﺑﻞ ﺇﻥ ﻳﻌﺪ‬، ‫ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﻭﺍﺕ ﺃﻡ ﺁﺗﻴﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﻛﺘﺎﺑﹰﺎ‬
heavens or if We have sent
them a book. Arrogance is all .‫ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻏﺮﻭﺭﹰﺍ‬
that the apostates are capable
of displaying.
6. They have promulgated an ‫( ﻭﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻜﺮﹰﺍ ﺳﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﳛﻴﻖ‬٦
evil deception. Are you aware ‫ﺍﳌﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﺴﻰﺀ ﺇﻻ ﺑﺄﻫﻠﻪ ﻭﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺃﻧﺬﺭﻭﺍ ﺃﻡ‬
that evil deception fits best
those who manufacture it? .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﱂ ﻳﻨﺬﺭﻭﺍ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
They certainly deserve it.
Whether they are warned or not
warned they vehemently persist
in their apostasy for they have
lost their way, ending in total
disarray.

7. Therefore, do not make ‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﺘﻮﻋﺪﻭﺍ ﻭﻋﻴﺪﹰﺍ ﻋﺴﲑﹰﺍ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﻛﺎﻥ‬٧


terrifying threats.
Unquestiona-bly, your tongue .‫ﻣﺴﺆﻭ ﹰﻻ‬
will be held responsible for such
threats on that extraordinary
Day.

THE ATROCITIES (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ‬٥٣
Kabaer)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
1. O, you have become : ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
ungodly, yet still claim to be
counted among Our ‫ﻟﻘﺪ ﺟﻌﻠﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻣﻮﺍﺧﺮ ﻟﻠﺰﻧﺎﺓ ﻭﻣﻐﺎﻭﺭ‬
worshipers: you have
transformed Our paradises into ‫ﻟﻠﻘﺘﻠﺔ ﻭﳐﺎﺩﻉ ﺭﺟﺲ ﻟﻠﺰﺍﻧﻴﺎﺕ ﻭﻧﺰﻝ ﺩﻋﺎﺭﺓ‬
brothels for forni-cators, .‫ﻟﻠﺴﻜﺎﺭﻯ ﻭﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
shelters for murderers, unholy
sleeping quarters for
pros-titutes and vile dwelling
places for drunkards and
transgressors.

2. Moreover, you have dug up ‫( ﻭﻧﺒﺸﺘﻢ ﻏﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﰱ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ ﻭﺯﺭﻋﺘﻢ‬٢


the animal instinct in your souls. ‫ﺑﺬﻭﺭ ﺍﳊﻘﺪ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜﻢ ﻭﻃﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﻘﻮﻟﻜﻢ‬
You have also planted the roots
of bitterness in your hearts. .‫ﺑﺎﻟﻜﺮﻩ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
Then you sealed your minds up
with hostility and animosity.

3. Your demeanor is
blasphemy, paganism, adultery, ‫( ﻓﺴﻴﻤﺎﺅﻛﻢ ﻛﻔﺮ ﻭﺷﺮﻙ ﻭﺯﱏ ﻭﻏﺰﻭ ﻭﻗﺘﻞ‬٣
marauding, murder, pillage, .‫ﻭﺳﻠﺐ ﻭﺳﱮ ﻭﺟﻬﻞ ﻭﻋﺼﻴﺎﻥ‬
taking captives, ignorance and
rebellion.

4. These characteristics are


recognized by Our true ‫( ﺻﻔﺎﺕ ﻳﺘﺒﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻓﻤﻦ‬٤
followers who can identify you
by them. Your conduct and .‫ﺳﻴﻤﺎﺋﻜﻢ ﺗﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
demeanor are a giveaway as to
what type of people you really
are.
5. As for those who put no ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﲟﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٥
faith in what We revealed in
The True Gospel, denounce ‫ﻭﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻗﺘﻠﻮﺍ‬
what We conveyed in The True ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺣﺒﻄﺖ ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ ﰱ‬
Furqan and kill the believers
from among Our true .‫ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻭﻣﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺎﺻﺮﻳﻦ‬
worshipers, their labors will
come to naught both in this
world and the world to come. At
the end, they will absolutely
have no supporters to
exonerate whatsoever.

6. You claimed that Abrah-am ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ‬٦
was an adherent to your sect,
who believed in Us and ‫ﻣﺆﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﻣﺴﻠﻤﹰﺎ ﻷﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻭﻗﻔﻴﺘﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻓﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﺃﻭﻝ‬
surrendered to Us. So you .‫ﺍﳌﺴﻠﻤﲔ‬
accepted Abraham as your role
model, along with the other
faithful patriarchs of old.

7. Surprisingly enough, you


actually did not trust as
Abraham trusted. You did not ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺁﻣﻦ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺳﻠﻤﺘﻢ ﲟﺎ ﺳﻠﻢ‬٧
surrender to the One to whom .‫ﺑﻞ ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻄﺎﻏﻮﺕ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻷﻣﺮﻩ ﻣﺴﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
he surrendered. You, in fact,
trusted the Evil One and to the
Prince of Darkness you are
totally committed.
8. To Us, it is preferable to ‫( ﻭﳌﺆﻣﻦ ﺻﺎﺩﻕ ﻳﻌﻤﻞ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﺧﲑ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻟﻒ‬٨
have one trustworthy believer
who practices Our doctrine than .‫ﻣﺆﻣﻦ ﻣﻨﺎﻓﻖ ﻻ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ‬
one thousand untrustworthy
believers who ignore it.

9. You also maintained that ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻭﺑﺄﻫﻞ‬٩


you trusted in the Book as well
as the People of The Book, ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻫﺎﺩﻭﺍ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺼﺎﺭﻯ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺃﻬﻧﻢ‬
who have been guided rightly,
and the Christians because ‫ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻋﺒﺪﻭﻧﺎ ﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﻗﺘﻠﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﺗﻘﺘﻴﻼ‬
they trusted in Us and ‫ﻭﺳﺒﻴﺘﻢ ﻧﺴﺎﺀﻫﻢ ﻭﻬﻧﺒﺘﻢ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﻴﺘﺎﻣﻰ‬
worshiped Us. In spite of such
declarations, you assaulted and .‫ﻭﺍﳌﺴﺎﻛﲔ‬
eliminated them by the sword.
Moreover, you took their wives
as captives for your pleasure.
You made their childr-en
orphans. You took their
belon-gings as spoils of war.
You also robbed the provisions
of the poverty-stricken and the
orphans.

10. The most outrageous


atrocity of all is your fabrication
of the deception which you
ascribe to Us, that We are the ‫( ﻭﻷﻛﱪ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺅﻛﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ‬١٠
Ones who put you up to commit
these atrocities. Despite that, it . ‫ﺑﺄﻧﻨﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﺎﺭﺗﻜﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ‬
will be your own tongues, ‫ﻭﺳﺘﺸﻬﺪ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺃﻟﺴﻨﺘﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺭﺟﻠﻜﻢ‬
hands and feet that will testify
against you concerning what .‫ﲟﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
you have committed once you
arrive at the Judgment Seat.
11. The ones who hide Our ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻜﺘﻤﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺒﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻭﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻣﻦ‬١١
miracles and perfect guidance
after We had revealed them to ‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﺎﻫﺎ ﻟﻠﻨﺎﺱ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
the people in The True Gospel ‫ﻭﺫﻛﺮﻧﺎﻛﻢ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪﻩ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ‬
and reminded you of them in
The True Furqan with followed .‫ﻫﻢ ﺷﺮ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
it, are definitely the worst of
apostates.

12. The illustration of those ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻳﻨﻌﻖ ﲟﺎ‬١٢
who had become ungodly is
like the one who cries out, ‫ﻻ ﻳﺴﻤﻊ ﺇﻻ ﺩﻋﺎﺀ ﻭﻧﺪﺍﺀ ﺻﻢ ﺑﻜﻢ ﻋﻤﻰ ﻓﻬﻢ‬
screaming and jabbering, .‫ﻻ ﻳﻌﻘﻠﻮﻥ‬
unaware of what he is saying
because he is deaf. So it is with
these people. They are deaf,
dumb and blind, oblivious of
what is going on.

13. We proclaimed in The ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺎ ﱂ ﳜﺘﻠﻒ ﻓﻴﻪ‬١٣


True Gospel what the believers ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺧﺘﻠﻒ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻣﻦ‬
accepted without any
disputation. The only ‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺌﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺘﺒﻊ ﻏﲑ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬
expression of any disputation
erupted from the apostates ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻛﺘﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻫﺎﺩﻳﹰﺎ ﻓﻠﻦ ﻳﻘﺒﻞ ﻣﻨﻪ‬
once We brought the Scriptures .‫ﻭﻟﻦ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻯ ﻭﻫﻮ ﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺩﻣﲔ‬
to them. It must be pointed out
that whosoever follows anything
else besides The True Gospel
and The True Furqan, as a
book of guidance, will never be
accepted from Him.
Furthermore, he will never be
rightly guided but will end up
among the conscience-stricken.
14. This earthly life has ‫( ﺯﻳﻦ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ‬١٤
been glamorized to the
apostates who still claim they ‫ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﻳﺴﺨﺮﻭﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﻋﻤﻠﻮﺍ‬
are among Our worshipers. The
apostates scoff at those who ‫ﻭﻻ ﺗﻐﲎ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ‬. ‫ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﺎﺕ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ‬
believe in Us and practice godly ‫ﻋﻦ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻭﻛﻞ ﻳﻨﺎﻝ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﻭﻓﻘﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ‬
deeds in pursuing the Abundant
Kingdom above. This earthly .‫ﻳﻈﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
life will never be a profitable
substitute for the glories of
eternal life. Once they arrive
there, each individual will
receive his just reward and no
one will be treated unjustly.

15.As for the apostates who


turned away from Our pathway,
then died, persisting in their ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺻﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﰒ‬١٥
blasphemy, they will never be
forgiven. In the end they will ‫ﻣﺎﺗﻮﺍ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻛﻔﺎﺭ ﻓﻠﻦ ﻳﻐﻔﺮ ﳍﻢ ﻭﻫﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ‬
absolutely be among the
defeat-ed, disappointed and .‫ﻣﻦ ﺍﳋﺎﺳﺮﻳﻦ‬
damned.

THE SACRIFICE (Surat AI

‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻷﺿﺤﻰ‬٥٤
Adha)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. O, you who are ‫ ﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
unenlight-ened from among Our ‫ﻟﻐﻮﻛﻢ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻟﻘﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻜﺬﺑﻜﻢ‬
deceived people: your
utterances were not in ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺻﺪﻗﻮﺍ ﻭﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
confirmation of Our articula-tion
in The True Gospel. As a result, .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﺫﺑﲔ‬
Our trustworthy followers
accused you of deception. They
have certainly spoken the Truth
but you have told lies.

2. You also proclaimed, "Our ‫" ﻫﻮ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﷲ " ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٢
book is from God." It is
absolutely not inspired by Us. ‫ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﺒﺸﺮ ﺃﻥ ﻧﺆﺗﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ‬.‫ﻋﻨﺪﻧﺎ‬
No man is given The Book, the ": ‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻭﺍﳊﻜﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺒﺆﺓ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻗﺎﺋ ﹰ‬
commandments and the
prophet hood who makes ‫ﻣﻦ ﻳﻄﻌﲎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﻃﺎﻉ ﺍﷲ " ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻙ‬
himself a partner to Us. He
affirmed, "Whosoever obeys .‫ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
me has indeed obeyed God. "
Such a statement is a
monstrous blasphemy.

3 . We can forgive any sin


one commits except the sin of
shirk, that is refusing to believe
in oneness, but adding partners ‫( ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺸﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﻧﻐﻔﺮ ﻣﺎ ﺩﻭﻥ‬٣
to Our divine person. Who is
more wicked than the one who
‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﻇﻠﻢ ﳑﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﻨﺎ ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ‬.‫ﺫﻟﻚ‬
adds partners to Us and .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻔﻠﺢ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
fabricates lies about Us.
Fundamentally, such liars will
never win.
4. We have not made a ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻇﻬﺮﻧﺎ ﺩﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺩﻳﻦ ﻓﻼ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺇﻻ ﺩﻳﻦ‬٤
parti-cular religion superior to
another religion. No other ‫ﻼ‬
‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻳﺪﻋﻮ ﻟﻠﱴ ﻫﻰ ﺃﲰﻰ ﻭﺃﻗﻮﻡ ﺳﺒﻴ ﹰ‬
religion is recognized except ‫ﻓﺈﱏ ﻧﻈﻬﺮ ﺩﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﻣﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
the True Religion. It invites
people to a more sublime and .‫ﺩﺍﻥ ﺑﻪ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
nobler pathway. How then can
We ever inspire a religion for
whom We did not send a
messenger and in which none
of the true believers could
trust?

5. Suffice it to say that the


True Religion is the religion of ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻫﻮ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻷﺧﻮﺓ‬٥
love, brotherhood, compassion ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﺑﻠﻐﻨﺎﻩ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
and peace. We have entrusted
it to Our worshipers through . ‫ﻗﻮﻻ ﺟﻬﺮﹰﺍ ﺓﺃﻳﺪﻧﺎﻩ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺣﻴﹰﺎ ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
The True Gospel as a
persuasive proclamation. We ‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﺘﺒﻊ ﻏﲑ ﺩﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺩﻳﻨﹰﺎ ﻓﻠﻦ ﻳﻘﺒﻞ ﻣﻨﻪ‬
have supported it with The True .‫ﻭﻫﻮ ﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺩﻣﲔ‬
Furqan as an extraordinary
revelation. Whoso- ever puts
his trust in any other religion
except the True Religion, it will
not be recognized. At the end
of the trail he will find himself
among the regretful.
6. We have conveyed The
True Furqan to remind you of ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺬﻛﺮﹰﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٦
the True Religion and to ‫ﻭﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻟﻺﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻟﻨﻈﻬﺮﻩ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻛﻠﻪ‬
approve the veracity of The
True Gospel. The purpose is to .‫ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﺮﻩ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
demonstrate its superiority over
all religions no matter whether
the hypocrites agree or
disagree.

7. O, you who belong to the : ‫( ﻳﺎﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٧


family of the antagonists from
among Our misled worshipers: ‫ﺗﺴﻔﻜﻮﻥ ﺩﻣﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﺃﺿﺤﻴﺎﺕ ﺗﺒﺘﻐﻮﻥ ﻣﻐﻔﺮﺓ‬
you spill the blood of animal
sacrifices to seek forgiveness ‫ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻟﺪﻧﻨﺎ ﻋﻤﺎ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﺖ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺘﻞ‬
and mercy from Us for what .‫ﻭﺯﱏ ﻭﺇﰒ ﻭﻋﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
your hands have committed of
murder, immorality, wickedness
and oppression.

8. Are you not aware that an


acceptable sacrifice to Us is a
clean heart, a heart which ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺃﺿﺤﻴﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻗﻠﺐ ﻃﻬﲑ‬٨
bubbles over with compassion, ‫ﻳﺘﻔﺠﺮ ﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﺭﻓﻘﹰﺎ‬
love and peace toward Our
people. On the other hand be ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﻓﻠﻦ ﻳﻨﺎﻟﻨﺎ ﳊﻮﻣﻬﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺩﻣﺎﺅﻫﺎ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ‬
merciful to the animals because
neither their flesh nor their .‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﻳﻨﺎﻟﻨﺎ ﺗﻘﻮﻯ ﺍﳌﺘﻘﲔ‬
blood will avail with Us. What
will avail is the righteousness of
the upright.
9. Had those who lost their ‫( ﻭﻟﻮ ﺗﺮﻙ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻻﻫﺘﺪﻭﺍ‬٩
way been left alone, they would
have discovered the right way ‫ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻣﻦ ﺣﻮﳍﻢ ﻭﺑﲔ‬
and believed in The True ‫ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ ﻭﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻟﺴﻨﺘﻬﻢ‬
Gospel. F or it surrounds them,
close at hand, in the hearts of ‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻋﺎﺟﻠﻬﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻓﺼﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ‬
the trustworthy believers and on
the tips of their tongues. What .‫ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﻓﻜﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻏﻼﺓ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ‬
transpired was that Satan
rushed them with his
ungodliness and blocked the
true pathway from them~ so
they ended up being pagans
and rebels.

10. O, people everywhere: do ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻻ ﺗﻌﺎﻭﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻹﰒ‬١٠


not promote wickedness and
animosity. Do not even take ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻓﻼ ﺗﺴﺘﻮﻯ‬
vengeance upon your enemies
because a kind deed cannot be ‫ﺍﳊﺴﻨﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻴﺌﺔ ﺇﺩﻓﻌﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﱴ ﻫﻰ ﺃﺣﺴﻦ ﻓﺈﺫﺍ‬
on the same level as an unkind .‫ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻋﺪﺍﻭﺓ ﻛﺄﻧﻪ ﻭﱃ ﲪﻴﻢ‬
one. Therefore, reinforce deeds
which are more wholesome and
treat the one with whom you
have hostility like an intimate
friend.

FAIRY TALES (Surat AI ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻷﺳﺎﻃﲑ‬٥٥
Asateer)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﻳﻒ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١


1. O, you who Corrupt the
scriptures, yet dwell among Our ‫ﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺣﺮﻓﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻢ ﻋﻦ‬
followers: you have certainly
re-belled against The True ‫ﻣﻮﺍﺿﻌﻪ ﻭﺑﺪﻟﺘﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﻣﻜﺎﻥ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﺃﻋﻠﻢ‬
Gospel. You have also .‫ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﳍﺎ ﳊﺎﻓﻈﻮﻥ‬
perverted scrip-tures from their
original intention, even
exchanged verses in place of
other verses. Nevertheless, We
assuredly recognize Our
scrip-tures; We are the
Guardian of the same.

2. There arose among you ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻡ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻧﺘﺤﻞ ﺃﺳﺎﻃﲑ ﺍﻻﻭﻟﲔ‬٢


someone who plagiarized the
fairy tales of the ancients. He ‫ﻼ ﻭﻫﻰ ﺇﻓﻚ‬
‫ﺍﻛﺘﺘﺒﻬﺎ ﻭﺃﻣﻠﻴﺖ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺑﻜﺮﺓ ﻭﺃﺻﻴ ﹰ‬
had them written down when .‫ﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﻩ ﻭﺃﻋﺎﻧﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺁﺧﺮﻭﻥ‬
they were recited in his hearing
in the morning and the evening.
They were but fairy tales spun
by pagans who helped him
memorize them.
3. Although you command ‫( ﺗﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﺭﻳﺎﺀ ﻭﺗﻨﺴﻮﻥ‬٣
that righteousness and
godliness should be practiced. ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻭﺍﺫ ﺗﺘﻠﻰ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺁﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
hypocritically you forgo doing ‫ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺒﻌﻀﻬﺎ ﻣﻜﺮﻫﲔ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﲜﻠﻬﺎ ﺭﺍﺿﲔ‬
them yourselves. Each time
verses from The True Gospel ‫ﻭﺑﺪﻟﺘﻢ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﻏﲑ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻔﻌﻞ‬
are recited in your hearing, you
accede to some unwillingly but ‫ﺫﻟﻚ ﺇﻻ ﺧﺰﻯ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﰱ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﺃﺷﺪ‬
reject most of them voluntarily. .‫ﺧﺰﻳﹰﺎ ﻭﺛﺒﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
Then you change some wise
statements cunningly. The
punishment for anyone who
undertakes such deeds is
degradation in this world and a
horrific end in the world to
come.

4. Furthermore, you over-


throw properties and dwellings
where Our name is mentioned
reverently. You also destroy ‫( ﻭﻫﺪﻣﺘﻢ ﺑﻴﻌﹰﺎ ﻭﺑﻴﻮﺗﹰﺎ ﻳﺬﻛﺮ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺍﲰﻨﺎ‬٤
sacred sanctuaries belonging to ‫ﻭﻫﺪﻣﺘﻢ ﻛﻨﺎﺋﺲ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻭﻭﻛﻢ‬
Our believing worshipers who
gave you refuge, welcomed ‫ﻭﺃﺣﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﻋﻠﻤﻮﻛﻢ ﻓﻐﺪﺭﰎ ﻬﺑﻢ ﻇﺎﳌﲔ‬
and even educated you when
you were destitute. Why have .‫ﻭﻫﻞ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ ﺍﻹﺣﺴﺎﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻹﺣﺴﺎﻥ‬
you defraud-ed and oppressed
them? Is not the true reward of
benevolence goodwill?

5. You also snuffed out


the souls of human-beings, a
vile deed which We had totally
forbidden. Whenever the
trusting souls inquire what was ‫( ﻭﻗﺘﻠﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﺍﻟﱴ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﲢﺮﳝﹰﺎ ﻓﺈﺫﺍ‬٥
: ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨ ﻥ ﺳﺄﻟ ﺍ ﺑﺄﻯ ﺫﻧﺐ ﻗﺘﻠ ﺍ ؟ ﻗﻠﺘ‬
the guilt for which they are ‫" ﺑﺎﳊﻖ " ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﺣﻘﹰﺎ ﺇﻻ ﰱ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ‬
slain, you reply "By right. " Yet,
murdering another human .‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
being was never justified except
by the doctrines of pagans, the
precepts of Satan and the
lawless assassins.

6. Incredible, is it not! ‫( ﻭﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﺗﻘﻬﺮﻭﻥ ﻳﺘﻴﻤﻬﻢ‬٦


You murder Our faithful
servants, vanquish their ‫ﻭﺗﻨﻬﺮﻭﻥ ﺳﺎﺋﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﻗﺪ ﻭﺟﺪﻭﺍ ﻳﺘﻴﻤﻜﻢ ﻓﺄﻭﻭﺍ‬
orphans, and reprove those ‫ﻭﺿﺎﻟﻜﻢ ﻓﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﻭﻋﺎﺋﻠﻜﻢ ﻓﺄﻏﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﻫﻢ ﺑﻨﻌﻤﺘﻨﺎ‬
who seek to rescue them. Yet,
whenever Our faithful servants .‫ﳛﺪﺛﻮﻥ‬
stumble upon your lost orphans
they rescue them, give them
shelter and show them the way
home. True worshipers
continuously offer praise for
Our grace (for We are the most
Generous and the most
Gracious.)

PARADISE (Surat AI Jannah)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. Paradise is figuratively
spoken of as a green pasture ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﺇﻻ ﻣﺮﺗﻌﹰﺎ ﻟﻸﺭﻭﺍﺡ‬١
for the purified of heart and the ‫ﺍﻟﻄﺎﻫﺮﺓ ﻭﺍﳌﻄﻬﺮﺓ ﻗﻮﻬﺗﺎ ﻋﺒﻖ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬
righteous of souls. Its
nourish-ment is the fragrance of .‫ﻭﻣﻨﻬﻠﻬﺎ ﻋﺒﲑ ﺍﻟﻄﻬﺮ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ‬
love and peace. Its wellsprings
are the aroma of righteousness
and holiness.

2. Our faithful worshipers do ‫( ﻻ ﻳﺘﺰﻭﺟﻮﻥ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻄﻌﻤﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ‬٢


not marry in paradise, neither .‫ﻳﺸﺮﺑﻮﻥ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻛﺎﳌﻼﺋﻜﺔ ﲝﻤﺪﻧﺎ ﻳﺴﺒﺤﻮﻥ‬
eat nor drink. They are like the
angels of Heaven ever singing
Our praises.

3. In contrast, the Satanic


paradise is made up of caverns
that smolder with murderers, ‫( ﺃﻣﺎ ﺟﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﻜﻬﻮﻑ ﺗﻌﺞ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺘﻠﺔ‬٣
unrepentant pagans and the ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺰﻧﺎﺓ ﻳﺘﻤﺮﻏﻮﻥ ﰱ ﲪﺄﺓ ﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
sexually immoral. They wallow
in the cesspools of iniquity, ‫ﺗﻠﻔﺤﻬﻢ ﺯﻓﺮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﻭﺗﺴﻮﻃﻬﻢ ﺷﻬﻮﺓ‬
blown by the wind of carnal lust.
They are continu-ously ‫ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﺟﺲ ﻭﺍﳌﻮﺑﻘﺎﺕ ﻏﺎﺭﻗﻮﻥ ﻭﰱ‬
drowning in the den of iniquity .‫ﺷﻐﻞ ﻓﺎﻛﻬﻮﻥ‬
and the pit of brutality.

4. Others recline on ‫( ﻣﺘﻜﺌﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺳﺮﺭ ﻣﺼﻔﻮﻓﺔ ﻭﺍﳌﺴﺎﻓﺤﺎﺕ‬٤


arranged couches, while
indecent women await them in ‫ ﻳﻄﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻟﺪﺍﻥ‬. ‫ﻣﺴﺠﻮﺭﺍﺕ ﰱ ﺍﳌﻮﺍﺧﺮ‬
the houses of ill-repute.
Homosexuals circulate among ‫ﺍﻟﻠﻮﻁ ﺑﺄﻛﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﺲ ﻭﺍﳋﻤﺮ ﺍﳊﺮﺍﻡ ﻳﻠﻐﻮﻥ‬
them with goblets of forbidden
wine. They indulge in these .‫ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﻓﻼ ﻫﻢ ﻳﻄﻔﺌﻮﻥ ﺃﻭﺍﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﻳﺮﺗﻮﻭﻥ‬
without ever quenching their
lust.

5. They imbibe from the ‫( ﻳﺮﺩﻭﻥ ﺃﻬﻧﺎﺭ ﺍﳋﻤﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻠﱭ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺴﻞ‬٥


rivers of wine, milk and honey
just as a dumb beast would do. ‫ﻛﺎﻟﺴﺎﺋﻤﺔ ﻭﻳﻠﺒﺴﻮﻥ ﺛﻴﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺧﻀﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﳛﻠﻮﻥ‬
Additionally, they dress in green
garments and wear golden ‫ﺑﺄﺳﻮﺍﺭ ﻣﻦ ﺫﻫﺐ ﻭﳛﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﺑﺸﻬﻮﺍﺕ ﺍﳉﺴﺪ‬
bracelets. They envision erotic ‫ﻭﻳﻄﻌﻤﻮﻥ ﳊﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﲑ ﺟﻴﺎﻉ ﻻ‬
fantasies and orgies forever
and are fed the meat of cattle .‫ﻳﺸﺒﻌﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻘﻨﻌﻮﻥ‬
and birds when hungry. Yet,
they are never satisfied or ever
content.

6. Satan allured them


with vileness, debauchery, ‫( ﻭﺻﻮﺭ ﳍﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﺲ ﻭﺍﳌﻮﺑﻘﺎﺕ‬٦
adultery, depravity and bestial
lust as the sensual and eternal ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﻭﺷﻬﻮﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺃﳍﺐ‬
activities in their eternal
para-dise. With such .‫ﻬﺑﺎ ﺧﻴﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﺘﻠﺔ ﻭﺍﶈﺮﻭﻣﲔ‬
descriptions of self-indulgence
he inflamed the fantasies of
pagans, atheists and the
impoverished.

7. The Romans' ancestors


constructed such a paradise for
themselves while dwelling on
this earth. They achieved such ‫( ﻭﻋﺎﺵ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻔﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﻡ ﰱ ﺟﻨﺔ‬٧
vile luxuries without having to
‫ﺧﻠﻘ ﻫﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧ ﺎ ﻗ ﻞ ﺃﻥ ﻳ ﻋﺪ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔ‬
die to get there. Centuries ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻭﻳﺴﺘﺸﻬـﺪﻭﺍ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻬﺎ ﺑﻌﺪﺓ‬
before a promise was made to
the marauding tribesmen and .‫ﻗﺮﻭﻥ‬
infidels, who were willing to be
martyred to get there, such a
paradise of sensuality was
already in existence in Rome.

8. The Romans ate and


drank lustily and acquired
paradise in jest. It was not their ‫( ﻓﺄﻛﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﺷﺮﺑﻮﺍ ﻫﻨﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻣﺮﻳﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﻧﺎﻟﻮﻫﺎ‬٨
reward for their martyrdom or
recompense for murdering Our ‫ﺍﺳﺘﻬﺘﺎﺭﹰﺍ ﻻ ﺛﻮﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻻﺳﺘﺸﻬﺎﺩﻫﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺟﺰﺍﺀ‬
trusting followers! .‫ﻟﻘﺘﻠﻬﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬

9. Our righteous worshipers


are repelled by the idea of
entering into a devil's paradise ‫( ﻭﻳﺄﻧﻒ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﻮﻥ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﺍ ﺟﻨﺔ‬٩
full of carnality. For it will infest
their cleansed souls with the ‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻳﺪﻧﺴﻮﺍ ﻃﻬﺮ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻬﻢ ﺑﺄﻗﺬﺍﺭ‬
filth of fleshly lust, bestial
instincts and debauchery of the .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻬﻮﺓ ﻭﻏﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺎﺋﻢ ﻭﻓﺠﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
pagans.

10. Anyone who is a slave to


the lust of the flesh becomes
engrossed in the works of the ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻋﺒﺪﹰﺍ ﻟﺸﻬﻮﺓ ﺍﳉﺴﺪ ﺍﻬﻧﻤﻚ‬١٠
flesh. He squanders his soul
and ends up among the ‫ﺑﺄﻣﻮﺭ ﺍﳉﺴﺪ ﻭﺧﺴﺮ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻭﺃﻣﺴﻰ ﻣﻊ‬
pagans. But the one who is
liberated from such slavery gets ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﲢﺮﺭ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺒﻮﺩﻳﺔ ﺍﻫﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻣﻮﺭ‬.‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
involved in matters pertaining to ‫ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﻓﻨﺎﻝ ﻣﻠﻜﻮﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺳﺒﺢ ﲝﻤﺪﻧﺎ ﻭﻋﺎﺵ ﰱ‬
the Spirit. Consequently, he will
behold Our face, enjoy Our .‫ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ ﺍﳌﻘﻴﻢ‬
perfect peace and sing Our
praises in heavenly places.

11. As for the doctrines of the


‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺣﺎﺩﻳﺚ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻭﺳﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﺇﻻ‬١١
apostates and their precepts, ‫ﺣﺪﺍﺀ ﺍﻷﻣﻲ ﻟﻸﻣﻴﲔ ﻛﺎﻟﺴﺎﺋﻤﺔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺇﺛﺮﻩ‬
such doctrines are like the
chanting of an unenlightened .‫ﻳﺴﲑﻭﻥ‬
singer to the ignoramuses.
They trudge along following the
sound of the camel-herder's
music out of sheer habit.

12. Such doctrines are ‫( ﻣﺎ ﺃﺟﺪﻬﺗﻢ ﻧﻔﻌﹰﺎ ﻓﻬﻰ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ‬١٢


completely fruitless. They are
but outdated precepts and ‫ﻭﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻓﻠﺢ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺗﺒﻌﻬﺎ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ‬
convictions of those who lost
their way-altogether worthless
.‫ﺃﻛﺜﺮﻫﻢ ﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
sayings. Yet, the majorities are
unaware of this truth.

13. There are codes of


conduct established by each ‫( ﻭﻟﻜﻞ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﻳﺸﺘﺮﻋﻮﻬﻧﺎ ﻭﻓﺎﻗﹰﺎ ﻓﻜﻤﺎ‬١٣
nation to which its citizens must
adhere. The natural law,
.‫ﻳﺰﺭﻋﻮﻥ ﳛﺼﺪﻭﻥ‬
recog-nized by an men
throughout history is,
"Whatever a man sows, he
shall also reap."
14 . Consequently, the code ‫( ﻓﺸﺮﻋﺔ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﺷﺮﻋـﺔ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺣﻔﺎﺓ‬١٤
of ethics of the apostates is the
code of a people who were ‫ﻋﺮﺍﺓ ﻏﺰﺍﺓ ﺃﻣﻴﲔ ﻣﻔﺘﺮﻳـﻦ ﻣﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﺿﺎﻟﲔ‬
barefooted, naked, marauders,
polygamists, illiterates, .‫ﻇﺎﳌﲔ‬
de-ceivers, aggressors,
wayward and oppressors.

15. They seem to never ‫( ﻻ ﻳﺮﻭﻥ ﻣﺜﺎﻟﺒﻬﻢ ﻭﻫﻨﺎﻬﺗﻢ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻃﻤﺲ‬١٥


recognize their own sins and ‫ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ‬
wrongdoings. Ignorance,
apos-tasy and confusion totally .‫ ﺻﻢ ﺑﻜﻢ ﻋﻤﻰ ﻻ ﻳﺮﺟﻌﻮﻥ‬،‫ﻭﻋﻘﻮﳍﻢ‬
overwhelmed their hearts and
minds. They became deaf,
mute and blind and were
unwilling to return back to Us.

THE INSTIGATORS (Surat Al
Mu'arrideen)

In the Name of the Father, the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. We outlawed killing by
Our faithful followers. ‫( ﻭﻬﻧﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﲪﺔ‬١
Further-more, We commanded
them to treat others with mercy, ‫ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻓﺠﺌﺘﻢ ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ﻗﻮﻟﻨﺎ‬
love and peace. You
contradicted Our declaration
‫" ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﱮ ﺣﺮﺽ‬: ‫ﻭﺗﺰﻋﻤﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻧﻨﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ‬
claiming that We announced, ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ " ﻓﺄﱏ ﳓﺮﺽ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﺍﻑ‬
"O, prophet urge the believers
to fight." Is it logical that We ‫ﻛﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎﻫﺎ ﲢﺮﳝﹰﺎ ؟ ﻭﺃﱏ ﻧﺄﻣﺮ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
would urge on the practice of
committing atrocities, ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺑﺎﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﰒ ﻧﺄﻣﺮﻛﻢ‬
something We had emphatically
prohibited? How can We ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻐﺰﻭ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﺃﻓﻼ ﺗﻌﻘﻠﻮﻥ ؟‬
command Our faithful to
practice mercy, love and peace
then command you to do the
opposite?

2. We would certainly ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺎ ﻟﻨﺮﺩ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺇﱃ ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬٢


avoid taking Our worshipers
backward to the absurdity of ‫ﻭﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺃﻥ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬
savagery and the precepts of ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻭﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻭﻧﺒﺬﻭﺍ‬
the apostates. We had seen to
it that they practiced the rule of .‫ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
love, mercy and peace. They
coopera-ted in performing godly
and righteous deeds,
renouncing iniquity and enmity.

3. O, you who belong to ‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﺇﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٣


the community of the apostates,
yet claim to still belong among ‫ﺃﻭﺻﺪﰎ ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻟﺴﻨﺘﻜﻢ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﻨﺔ ﰱ‬
Our worshipers: you have
blocked the gates of paradise ‫ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻜﻢ ﻳﻮﻡ ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺻﺪﻗﺘﻤﻮﻩ‬
by what your hands have done ‫ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻭﻛﺬﺑﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﻓﺄﺻﺒﺤﺘﻢ ﰱ ﺿﻼﻝ‬
and what your tongues have
spoken. You accomplished this .‫ﺃﻛﻴﺪ‬
when you trusted in lies and
denied the Truth, Jesus. Then
you accused Him of falsehood,
particularly concerning His
divine nature.
4. We do not desire for ‫( ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﻻﳓﺐ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺘﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺭﺍﻋﻴﹰﺎ ﺿﺎ ﹰﻻ‬٤
you to follow a misguided .‫ﻳﻘﻮﺩﻛﻢ ﺇﱃ ﻣﺮﺗﻊ ﻭﺧﻴﻢ‬
shepherd who will lead you to a
dried-up pasture in the middle
of nowhere!

5. Accordingly, you must ‫( ﻓﺘﻠﻤﺴﻮﺍ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﳋﲑ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻤﺴﻮﺍ ﻧﻮﺭ‬٥


Seek the godly pathway.
Search for the light of The True ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﻼ‬
Furqan. For it is Jesus who is .‫ﺗﻜﻮﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
mercy and peace for Our
followers and do not be
misguided.

6. Do not claim, "We are ‫ " ﺇﳕﺎ ﻧﺘﺒﻊ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻟﻔﻴﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺁﺑﺎﺀﻧﺎ‬:‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ‬٦
practicing the traditions of the
religion of our fathers and ‫ﻭﺃﺟﺪﺍﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺩﻳﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﳓﻦ ﻬﺑﻢ ﻣﻘﺘﺪﻭﻥ " ﺑﻞ‬
forefathers, which we found ‫" ﺁﻣﻨﹰﺎ ﺑﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﳊﻖ‬:‫ﻗﻮﻟﻮﺍ‬
them following, and we are
taking them as our role ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﺃﺧﻮﺓ ﺍﻹﻧﺴﺎﻥ " ﻓﻬﺬﺍ ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﻔﻮﺯ‬
models." Rather you should
declare, "We have trusted the .‫ﺍﻟﻌﻈﻴﻢ‬
religion of love, compassion,
truth, peace and brotherhood of
mankind." Such would be an
outstanding triumph of
intelli-gence and nobility.
7. Satan has bamboozled ‫( ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﺂﺑﺎﺋﻜﻢ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺃﺿﻠﻬﻢ‬٧
you through your parents just
as he misled them through their ‫ﺑﺂﺑﺎﺋﻬﻢ ﺗﺘﻮﺍﺭﺛﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺑﻌﻀﻜﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺑﻌﺾ‬
forbearers. Thus, you inherit ‫ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺩﺱ ﲰﺔ ﰱ ﻧﻔﻮﺱ‬
apostasy from each other
unawares. For Satan infected .‫ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﲔ‬
his virus into the souls of his
early devotees and now your
turn has come!

8. He beguiled you too as ‫( ﻭﻓﺘﻨﻜﻢ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻓﱳ ﺃﺑﺎﻛﻢ ﺁﺩﻡ ﻭﺃﺧﺮﺟﻪ‬٨


he beguiled your first father ‫ﻣﻨﺎﳉﻨﺔ ﺃﻓﻼ ﺗﺬﻛﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﺗﺮﻋﻮﻭﻥ ؟‬
Adam, the deceived
fountainhead. Satan also
precipitated Adam's eviction
from Our perpetual Paradise.
Will you remember Adam's
mistake and take heed?

9. The parable of a secure


servant, who returned to Us ‫( ﻭﻣﺜﻞ ﻋﺒﺪ ﺁﻣﻦ ﺗﺎﺏ ﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﻌﺪ ﺿﻼﻝ‬٩
after going astray, is like unto a
man who owned a hundred ‫ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﺭﺟﻞ ﻟﻪ ﻣﺌﺔ ﻧﻌﺠﺔ ﺿﻠﺖ ﺇﺣﺪﺍﻫﺎ ﻓﺠﺪ‬
sheep. One got lost. He ‫ﰱ ﻃﻠﺒﻬﺎ ﺣﱴ ﻭﺟﺪﻫﺎ ﻓﻔﺮﺡ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺍﻛﺜﺮ ﻣﻦ‬
diligently searched for it. When
he found it, his joy over finding .‫ﺍﻟﺘﺴﻊ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺴﻌﲔ‬
that solitary sheep exceeded
his joy over the other ninety-
nine.
10. Therefore return to Us ‫( ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻨﺎ ﺗﻮﺑﺔ ﻧﺼﻮﺣﹰﺎ ﻭﺍﺭﺟﻌﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ‬١٠
in sincere repentance. Come
back to the fold of the faithful. ‫ﺣﻀﲑﺓ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﺩﺧﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
Join Our virtuous servants and
enter Heaven to dwell with the .‫ﻭﺍﺩﺧﻠﻮﺍ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻣﻊ ﺍﳋﺎﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
immortals.

11. We declare unto you a


new commandment, follow it! ":‫( ﻭﺻﻴﺔ ﺟﺪﻳﺪﺓ ﻧﻮﺻﻴﻜﻢ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻓﺎﺗﺒﻌﻮﻫﺎ‬١١
"Love one another and love ‫ﺃﺣﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﻌﻀﻜﻢ ﺑﻌﻀﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﺣﺒﻮﺍ ﺃﻋﺪﺍﺋﻜﻢ‬
your enemies. Do good to them
too. For love is Our standard of ‫ﻭﺃﺣﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻬﻢ ﻓﺎﶈﺒﺔ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺻﺮﺍﻃﻨﺎ‬
conduct and Our correct
pathway." .‫ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬

12. As for those who


conceal what We disclosed in
The True Furqan and trade ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻜﺘﻤﻮﻥ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬١٢
things with it cheaply, they are ‫ﻼ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻣﺎ ﻳﺄﻛﻠﻮﻥ‬
‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻳﺸﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﻪ ﲦﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﻠﻴ ﹰ‬
actually consuming hellfire into
their bellies. For they have ‫ﰱ ﺑﻄﻮﻬﻧﻢ ﺍﻻ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﺷﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻟﺔ‬
traded apostasy for true
guidance and torment for ‫ﺑﺎﳍﺪﻯ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺬﺍﺏ ﺑﺎﳌﻐﻔﺮﺓ ﻓﻼ ﻧﺰﻛﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﳍﻢ ﰱ‬
forgiveness. We will never, .‫ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﻣﻘﻴﻢ‬
ever, justify them. Ever~ lasting
torment awaits them at the end.

13. If anyone reads and


accepts The True Furqan, We
shall erect a protective curtain ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﻳﻘﺮﺃ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﳒﻌﻞ ﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻭﺑﲔ‬١٣
between him and the infidels.
We will also introduce ‫ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺣﺠﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﺴﺘﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻭﻧﱰﻝ ﺍﻟﺴﻜﻴﻨﺔ‬
tranquility into the hearts of the ‫ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻟﻴﺰﺩﺍﺩﻭﺍ ﺇﳝﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻣﻊ ﺇﳝﺎﻬﻧﻢ ﻓﻼ‬
trusting ones so they will gain
greater faith on top of their .‫ﺧﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﻳﺮﻫﺒﻮﻥ‬
existing faith. They will neither
feel threatened nor will they be
anxious in any way.

14. Why do you take


‫( ﻭﻫﻞ ﺗﻨﻘﻤﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻥ‬١٤
vengeance upon those who ‫ ﺃﻻ‬. ‫ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ‬
worship Us? Do they not
believe in what We proclaimed .‫ﺇﻧﻜﻢ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﻇﺎﳌﻮﻥ‬
in the earlier covenant and
what We revealed in the latter
one. You act as if you are
nothing but a company of
savage oppressors.

‫( ﺗﺴﺎﺭﻋﻮﻥ ﺍﱃ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻭﺗﻘﻌﺪﻭﻥ‬١٥


15. You rush to commit
evil and aggression. You hardly .‫ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻟﺒﺌﺲ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻓﺎﻋﻠﻮﻥ‬
perform any good and
righteous deed. Woe unto you
for the vileness you are
transacting.

16. We ruled out in The


‫( ﻭﻬﻧﻴﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ‬١٦
True Gospel and The True ‫ﺑﻌﺪﻩ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﺍﻑ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﻓﻌﻞ ﺍﳌﺒﻮﻗﺎﺕ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
Furqan after it, the discharging
of wickedness and the practice .‫ﺯﻟﺘﻢ ﺑﻀﻼﻟﻜﻢ ﺳﺎﺩﺭﻳﻦ‬
of scandalous deeds. Yet, you
persist in your folly.
(Neverthe-less, if you will return
unto us in honest repentance
we will definitely grant you
forgive-ness as well as
welcome you back into the fold
for We are the Loving and the
Forgiving Potentate.)

‫( ﻓﻤﺜﻠﻪ ﻛﻤﺜﻞ ﲰﻞ ﺑﺎﻝ ﺩﺭﺳﻪ ﺍﻟﺪﻫﺮ ﻓﻤﺎ‬٥


5. In fact, your chanting
of your recitation can be likened .‫ﻼ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﻻﺣﻘﲔ‬
‫ﺃﺟﺪﻯ ﻓﺘﻴ ﹰ‬
unto a tattered robe. Time has
worn it out to such an extent
that it is no longer of any
benefit to cover exposed limbs!

6. You inherited your


book from your forefathers ‫( ﻳﺘﻮﺍﺭﺛﻪ ﺧﻠﻔﻜﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺳﻠﻔﻜﻢ ﳛﺴﺒﻮﻧﻪ ﺫﺍ‬٦
believing that if they considered
it of great value, so should you. .‫ﺷﺄﻥ ﻋﻈﻴﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻮ ﺑﺬﻯ ﺷﺄﻥ ﻋﻈﻴﻢ‬
But it is worthless.

7. Whenever its fabric


became threadbare, other ‫( ﻛﻠﻤﺎ ﻬﺗﺮﺃ ﺯﺍﺩﻭﻩ ﺭﻗﺎﻋﹰﺎ ﻓﻮﻕ ﺭﻗﺎﻉ ﺣﱴ‬٧
misguided men added patches
to it on top of previous patches. .‫ﺃﻧﺪﺛﺮ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﻞ ﺍﻟﻘﺪﱘ‬
They continued to do that until
the original material was
completely frayed.
8. Then the patches them- ‫( ﻭﺭﻣﺖ ﺍﻟﺮﻗﺎﻉ ﻓﺴﻌﻰ ﺍﳉﻬﻼﺀ ﻹﺣﻴﺎﺋﻬﺎ‬٨
selves became ragged. The
igno-ramuses sought to bring it ‫ﻭﺃﱏ ﳛﻴﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻌﻈﺎﻡ ﻭﻫﻰ ﺭﻣﻴﻢ ؟‬
back to life. Who among the
children of dust can ever make
the bones rise again? Everyone
knows that such labors by man
are in vain. Only We can bring
the dead to life again!

‫( ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺣﻔﺎﺓ ﻋﺮﺍﺓ ﺟﻴﺎﻉ‬٩


9. For a man to raise the
dead is a strange conviction. It ‫ﻓﻜﺎﻧﺖ ﺧﲑ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺃﺧﺮﺟﺖ ﻟﻠﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ‬
belongs only to a people who
were barefooted, naked and .‫ﺷﺮ ﺃﻣﺔ ﺃﺧﺮﺟﺖ ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
hungry. That recitation was the
best that could be produced by
the apostates, who turned out
to be among the most
unlovable, cowardly terrorists
and assassins the world has
ever seen.

10. When the barefooted ‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﲪﻞ ﺍﳊﻔﺎﺓ ﻭﻛﺴﻰ ﺍﻟﻌﺮﺍﺓ ﻭﺃﺷﺒﻊ‬١٠


were given horses to mount,
the naked clothed to walk in ‫ﺍﳉﻴﺎﻉ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻧﺒﺬﻭﺍ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺑﻞ ﻇﻠﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ‬
pride and the hungry fed to feel
satisfied, they did not discard .‫ﻣﻠﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ‬
the precepts of the pagans.
Instead, they insisted on
practicing the way of apostasy
and the precepts of the days of
ignorance.
11. Therefore, they were
left behind in everything, but ‫( ﻓﺘﺨﻠﻔﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺭﻛﺐ ﺍﳌﻔﻠﺤﲔ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻻ‬١١
especially in the forward march
to progress. As .‫ﻳﺘﻘﺪﻣﻮﻥ‬
underdeveloped people they
will not advance at all, but
remain little people, backward
and uncivilized.

12. Such an insignificant ‫( ﺗﻠﻚ ﺃﻣﺔ ﻗﺪ ﺧﻠﺖ ﳍﺎ ﻣﺎ ﻛﺴﺒﺖ ﻭﻟﻜﻢ‬١٢


civilization will sooner or later
disappear from the horizon of ‫ﻣﺎ ﻛﺴﺒﺘﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﺄﻟﻮﻥ ﻋﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﻓﻼ‬
history because it has
contributed very little to .‫ﺗﻘﺘﻔﻮﺍ ﺁﺛﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
humanity's march to liberty,
justice and knowledge.

In the Name of the Father, the


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who are hypocrites,


yet still claim to belong among ‫ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻧﺮﻳﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺎﻕ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
Our worshipers: We yearn to
see you prosper. We do not .‫ﺑﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻴﺴﺮ ﻭﻻ ﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﺑﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻌﺴﺮ‬
wish you to be impoverished.
2. Moreover, We seek for ‫( ﻭﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﻩ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻻ‬٢
you love, not hate; faithfulness,
not faithlessness; trust, not ‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺼﺪﻕ ﻻ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ ﻭﺍﻟﺴـﻼﻡ ﻻ‬
mistrust; and reconciliation, not
irreconciliation. .‫ﺍﳋﺼﺎﻡ‬

3 . We furthermore wish
for you security, not fear; ‫( ﻭﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻷﻣﻦ ﻻ ﺍﳋﻮﻑ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻠﻢ ﻻ‬٣
peace, not war; and ‫ﺍﳊﺮﺏ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻬﺮ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻨﺠﺲ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻻ‬
compassion, not aggression.
.‫ﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
4. Additionally, We covet
for you chastity, not
promiscuity; respect, not
disrespect; goodwill, not ‫( ﻭﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻌﻔﺔ ﻻ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﺍﻻﺣﺘﺮﺍﻡ ﻻ‬٤
pillaging; and forgiveness, not
taking revenge. ‫ ﻭﺍﻹﺣﺴﺎﻥ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻐﺰﻭ ﻭﺍﳌﻐﻔﺮﺓ ﻻ‬. ‫ﺍﻹﺣﺘﻘﺎﺭ‬
.‫ﺍﻹﻧﺘﻘﺎﻡ‬

5. We also long to see you


educated, not uneducated;
charming, not backward;
humble, not haughty; just, not
unjust; dwelling in the Light, not ‫( ﻭﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻢ ﻻ ﺍﻷﻣﻴﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻠﻄﻒ ﻻ‬٥
dwelling in darkness.
‫ﺍﻟﻔﻈﺎﻇﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻮﺍﺿﻊ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻜﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻝ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻢ‬
.‫ﻭﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﻼﻡ‬
6. Moreover, We desire
for you wisdom, not ignorance;
brotherly love, not hostility; and
enlightenment, not confusion.
Will you try to discern what We
intend for you? ‫( ﻭﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ ﻻ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻹﺧﺎﺀ ﻻ‬٦
‫ﺍﻟﻌﺪﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﺃﻓﻼ ﺗﻔﺮﻗﻮﻥ ؟‬
7. Subsequently, repent,
be enlightened and pursue the ‫( ﻓﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﻫﺘﺪﻭﺍ ﻭﺍﺗﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﳋﲑ ﻓﻘﺪ‬٧
virtuous pathway. It is ‫ﺍﺳﺘﺨﺮﰎ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﻘﺮ ﻭﺗﻠﻜﻢ ﺁﻓﺎﺕ‬
preferable to the path which
you have chosen in the past, a .‫ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
path of ignorance, sickness,
poverty, terrorism and
insecurity, which are by-
products of complete infidelity.

8. Satan has certainly beguiled ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻏﺮﻛﻢ ﰱ ﻟﻐﻮﻛﻢ ﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺗﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬٨


you through your beautiful and .‫ﻭﺗﺄﻓﻜﻮﻥ‬
fascinating c1assicallanguage
and what you have repeated
from apostasy and
counterfeiting.

THE POOR (Surat AI Fuqara)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻔﻘﺮﺍﺀ‬٦٠

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. You bury your children


alive in the graves of paganism. ‫( ﻭﺗﺌﺪﻭﻥ ﻧﻔﻮﺱ ﺃﻭﻻﺩﻛﻢ ﰱ ﻣﻬﻮﺩ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬١
You have let them feed on the
milk of rebellion and ignorance,
‫ﺗﺮﺿﻌﻮﻬﻧﻢ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻓﺘﻐﺮﻫﻢ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ‬
so that this earthly life deludes ‫ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﻳﻀﺮﺑﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻭﻳﻀﻠﻮﻥ‬
them. They lose their way in
this world, become confused .‫ﻓﻴﻬﻠﻜﻮﻥ‬
and end up perishing before
their appointed time.
2. We urge you to redeem ‫( ﻓﺎﻓﺘﺪﻭﻫﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺑﻘﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٢
them from the clutches of
Satan. It can be done through ‫ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺑﺎﻟﻴﻤﺎﻥ ﻓﻴﺸﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﻧﻮﺭﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﻠﺤﻘﻮﺍ‬
the Word of Truth, Jesus of .‫ﺑﺎﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
Nazareth, His love and faith.
Then they can behold Our Light
and accompany the faithful.

3. True riches are attained ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻟﻐﲎ ﺑﺎﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﻘﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻻ‬٣
in having faith, reason and
spirit. Riches are not the sum ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻘﻨﺎﻃﲑ ﺍﳌﻘﻨﻄﺮﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻫﺐ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﻀﺔ‬
total of tons of silver or gold. .‫ﻭﺍﻷﻃﻴﺎﻥ ﻭﺍﻷﻏﻨﺎﻡ ﻭﺍﻷﺯﻭﺍﺝ ﻭﻣﺎ ﲤﻠﻜﻮﻥ‬
houses and cattle, spouses and
whatever you own.

4. Conversely, real poverty is


made up of paganism, ‫( ﻭﺇﳕﺎ ﺍﻟﻔﻘﺮ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﻫﺎ‬٤
ignorance and confusion. Look
at your-selves, you really are a .‫ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺃﻭﻻﺀ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻓﻘﺮﺍﺀ ﻣﻌﺪﻣﻮﻥ‬
company of impoverished,
destit-ute, forgotten and
unforgiving souls.

5. For you have elected


the sensual and worldly life and ‫( ﺇﺳﺘﺨﺮﰎ ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻓﻀﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ‬٥
missed the narrow way to
eternal life. You have also ‫ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻭﻋﺎﺩﻳﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺭﻓﺾ ﻛﻔﺮﻛﻢ ﻓﻨﺒﺬﻛﻢ‬
considered everyone as .‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺃﲨﻌﲔ‬
enemies whenever they
rejected your apostasy. The
result was that everyone
despised you thoroughly.
6. You deliberately by- ‫( ﲡﺘﻨﺒﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻌﻘﻞ ﻭﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻓﺘﻔﻘﺮﻭﻥ ﻻ‬٦
pass logic, wisdom and love.
Thus, you become poverty- .‫ﺗﺪﺭﻛﻮﻥ ﻟﻠﺮﻭﺡ ﻣﻌﲎ ﻓﺘﻀﻠﻮﻥ‬
stricken people spiritually. You
do not comprehend the
meaning of spiritual matters
and become confused.

‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﺄﻛﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻼ ً ﺣﺮﺍﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ‬٧


7. Therefore, you must
not acquire unlawful properties. ‫ﺍﻟﱴ ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻗﺘﻠﻬﺎ ﲢﺮﳝﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻠﺒﺴﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺰﻧﻮﺍ‬
You must not murder for we
have not sanctioned murder at
‫ﻭﻻ ﺗﺘﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺧﻄﻮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻳﺄﻣﺮﻛﻢ‬
any time. You must not steal. ‫ﺑﺎﻗﺘﺮﺍﻑ ﺍﻟﻔﺤﺸﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻰ ﻭﺃﻥ ﺗﻘﻮﻟﻮﺍ‬
You must not be involved in
immorality. You must not dance .‫ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﺎﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
to Satanic music. He is the one
who commands you to commit
abominations, atrocities and
sexual immoralities. Satan also
urges you to enunciate
statements concerning us
which are untrue.

8. Our trusting worshipers


walk upon the earth confidently.
‫( ﻭﳝﺸﻰ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻫﻮﻧﹰﺎ‬٨
Whenever the pagans ‫ﻭﺇﻥ ﺁﺫﺍﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺳﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻭﻳﻐﻔﺮﻭﻥ‬
persecute them the righteous
ones declare peace upon them, .‫ﻭﻻ ﻳﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﻥ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺧﻠﻖ ﻛﺮﱘ‬
they forgive and take no
vengeance on the pagans. For,
Our worshipers are of the
highest character.

INSPIRA TION (Surat AI Wahi)
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻮﺣﻰ‬٦١

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. We single out from among ‫( ﻭﻧﺼﻄﻔﻰ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺸﺎﺀ‬١


Our trusting worshipers
whom-ever We will. Such a ‫ﻟﻴﺒﻠﻎ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻫﺎﺩﻳﹰﺎ ﻭﻣﺬﻛﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﻨﻄﻖ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳍﻮﻯ‬
chosen person delivers Our
divine messa-ge as a guide and
‫ﺇﻥ ﻫﻮ ﺇﻻ ﻭﺣﻰ ﻳﻮﺣﻰ ﻧﱰﻟﻪ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ‬
reminder and does not speak of .‫ﻧﻮﺭﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻟﻌﻠﻬﻢ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
his own will. It is unquestionably
extraordinary inspiration which
we convey upon his heart. It is
to be a Light for those who
have gone astray; perhaps they
will find the right way and
repent.

2. On the day that We created ‫( ﻭﻳﻮﻡ ﻧﺴﻠﻨـﺎ ﺍﻹﻧﺲ ﻣﻜﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﰱ ﻗـﺮﺍﺭﺓ‬٢


humankind, We anchored in the
depth of their souls a spark of ‫ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻗﺒﺴـﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﻭﺣﻨـﺎ ﻟﻜـﻦ ﺳﺠﻮﻑ‬
Our Spirit-the conscience. Alas,
the curtain of ignorance, ‫ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﺍﳊـﺪﺕ ﻧﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ‬
infidelity and paganism caused ‫ﻭﺃﺿﻠـﺖ ﻋﻘﻮﻟﻜـﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘـﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ‬
your souls to deny Our
existence and confuse your .‫ﺗﻀﺮﺑﻮﻥ ﰱ ﻛﻞ ﻭﺍﺩ ﻬﺗﻴﻤﻮﻥ‬
minds. Conse - quentIy, you are
lost upon planet earth and are
groping in every valley for the
right pathway.
3. Accordingly, whenever ‫( ﻓﺈﻣﺎ ﺃﺧﺘﻠﻂ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﰱ‬٣
truth and deception become ‫ﺷﻚ ﺃﻣﺮﻛﻢ ﻓﺎﺣﺘﻜﻤﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺭﻭﺡ ﺍﳊﻖ ﰱ‬
intermingled and there is
confusion in your state of mind, ‫ﺍﻟﻀﻤﲑ ﺍﳊﻰ ﻳﺮﺷﺪﻛﻢ ﻟﻠﻘﺴﻂ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻓﺎﺭﻭﻕ‬
seek discernment through the
Spirit of Truth which is ‫ ﺃﻭ ﺇﺳﺄﻟﻮﺍ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻛﺮ ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻻ‬. ‫ﺍﳊﺎﺋﺮﻳﻦ‬
embedded in one's living .‫ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
conscience. The Spirit will lead
you to the Ultimate Truth
because He is the arbiter for
the doubtful. You are urged to
ask the People of the Reminder
if your inspiration is authentic or
counterfeit.

4. You are able to


differentiate light from darkness ‫( ﲤﻴﺰﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻈﻼﻡ ﺑﺒﺼﺮﻛﻢ ﻭﻻ‬٤
with your naked eyes, but you
are unable to differentiate good ‫ﲤﻴﺰﻭﻥ ﺍﳋﲑ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ ﺑﺒﺼﺎﺋﺮﻛﻢ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﰱ‬
from evil with your inner eye! .‫ﺿﻼﻟﻜﻢ ﺗﻌﻤﻬﻮﻥ‬
Thus, you are wanderers in
your own chaotic state.

5. It is common knowledge
that peace is good but murder ‫( ﻓﺎﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﺧﲑ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﺷﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﻔﺔ ﺧﲑ‬٥
is evil. Chastity is good but
promis-cuity is evil. Almsgiving ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﺷﺮ ﻭﺍﳊﺴﻨﺔ ﺧﲑ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻠﺐ ﺷﺮ‬
is good but stealing is evil. . ‫ﻭﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﻻ ﲤﻴﺰﻭﻥ‬
Somehow you yourselves are
unable to distinguish one from
the other!
6. You even swear with an ‫( ﻭﺗﻘﺴﻤﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﻟﺘﻤﻴﺰﻭﻥ ﺍﳋﲑ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ‬٦
oath that you will distinguish
good from evil and command ‫ ﻭﻣﺎ‬.‫ﻭﺗﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﳌﻌﺮﻭﻑ ﻭﺗﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﳌﻨﻜﺮ‬
the practice of good works and ‫ﺗﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ ﻗﻮﻻ ﻇﺎﻫﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺭﻭﺡ‬
the prohibition of immoralities.
However, your commands and .‫ﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﺗﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﺃﻭ ﺗﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ‬
prohibitions are only lip service.
There is no power in what you
command or prohibit because
you are hypocrites through and
through.

‫( ﻭﻟﺘﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﳋﲑ ﻗﻮﻻ ﻭﺗﻘﺘﺮﻓﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ‬٧


7. Whenever you command
the practice of good deeds it is ‫ﻼ‬
‫ ﻭﺗﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﻭﺗﻘﺘﺮﻓﻮﻧﻪ ﻓﻌ ﹰ‬.‫ﻼ‬
‫ﻓﻌ ﹰ‬
only empty words because you
practice evil deeds in real life. .‫ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ ﺗﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
You also prohibit the activity of
evil in theory. But in practice
you do the very thing because
you are driven.

8. Repeating mere words can


never be a substitute for doing ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ ﻻ ﻳﻐﲎ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻔﻌﻞ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﺇﻥ‬٨
the deeds. Such declarations .‫ﺗﻠﻚ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﻝ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺋﺒﲔ ﻭﺃﻓﻌﺎﻝ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
are more or less the
pronouncements of the
lawless and the pursuit of the
transgressors.
9. We have conveyed this
True Furqan in your very ‫( ﻭﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻧﻜﻢ‬٩
language. We articulated it with
fascinating phrases. Some of ‫ﻭﺑﻠﻐﻨﺎﻩ ﻛﻠﻤﹰﺎ ﻣﻌﺠﺰﹰﺍ ﻓﻤﻨﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺲ ﻭﺗﻮﱃ‬
you frown and turn away. Yet, .‫ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺃﻛﺜﺮﻛﻢ ﺳﻴﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
We hope that the majority of
you will turn to Our right
pathway.

10. We address the ‫( ﻭﳔﺎﻃﺐ ﺍﻟﻘﻠﻮﺏ ﺑﻨﻮﺭ ﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﻓﺎﻟﻘﻠﻮﺏ‬١٠


hearts of mankind with the
enlightenment of faith. Hearts .‫ﺁﺫﺍﻥ ﺍﻷﻧﺒﻴﺎﺀ ﻭﺃﻟﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﳌﺮﺳﻠﲔ‬
are the ears of Our prophets as
well as the tongues of Our
Apostles.

‫( ﻭﻭﺩ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻟﻮ ﳚﺪﻭﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬١١


11. Oh how the idolaters
yearn to discover some .‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻟﻠﻐﻮﻫﻢ ﺑﺸﺮﻯ ﺃﻭ ﻹﻓﻜﻬﻢ ﺫﻛﺮﹰﺍ‬
prophecies concerning their
book in The True Gospel or
even a mention of the
appearance of their so-called
prophet.

12. Deceivers-that is
what some of those are who ‫( ﻭﻛﺬﺏ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﻭﺟﺪﻧﺎ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺃﻣﻴﻮﻥ‬١٢
announce that they have found
such references. They are ‫ﻻ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻣﺎﱏ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻳﺘﺒﻌﻮﻥ‬
accuse Our believing followers .‫ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻈﻦ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻫﻢ ﺇﻻ ﳜﺮﺻﻮﻥ‬
with ignorance. When such a
thing takes place You will
become extremely regretful for
making a false report.

13. As for those Who ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻧﻪ ﻛﻤﺎ‬١٣
trusted in The True Gospel,
they know the Gospel as
‫ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ ﺃﺑﻨﺎﺀﻫﻢ ﻓﻼ ﻳﻜﺘﻤﻮﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻻ ﳛﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
thoroughly as they know their .‫ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻔﺘﺮﻭﻥ‬
own children. Thus, they do not
cover up the Truth, neither do
they corrupt Our precepts nor
do they counterfeit scripture.

14. O, you who are


lost and uneducated, yet still
‫ ﺇﺫﺍ‬:‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١٤
consider yourselves among Our ‫ﺟﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﻭﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ " ﺇﻥ ﻗﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ‬
followers: if the idolater comes
to you stating, "Your doctrines ‫ﺍﳊﻖ " ﻓﻼ ﺗﺼﺪﻗﻮﻫﻢ ﻓﺈﻧﻜﻢ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ ﺃﻥ‬
are the doctrines of truth," do
not believe him. Why? Because
.‫ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﲔ ﻛﺎﺫﺑﻮﻥ‬
you know full well that idolaters
are incorrigible liars.

15. If a depraved ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﺟﺎﺀﻛﻢ ﻓﺎﺳﻖ ﺑﻨﺒﺄ ﻓﺘﺒﻴﻨﻮﺍ ﺃﻥ ﺗﺼﻴﺒﻮﺍ‬١٥


person brings to you some so-
called fresh news, investigate it ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﲜﻬﺎﻟﺔ ﻓﺘﺼﺒﺤﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﺎ ﻓﻌﻠﺘﻢ‬
carefully. Otherwise, you may
accuse Our believing followers
.‫ﻧﺎﺩﻣﲔ‬
with ignorance. When such a
thing takes place You will
become extremely regretful for
making a false report.
16. Furthermore, request ‫( ﻭﺍﺳﺄﻟﻮﺍ ﺍﳌﺮﺳﻞ ﺇﻥ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺃﺭﺳﻞ ﺑﺂﻳﻪ ﺃﻥ‬١٦
from the counterfeiter if he has .‫ﻳﺄﺗﻰ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺇﻥ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺩﻗﲔ‬
been sent with an
authenticating miracle. Then
ask him to perform the sign, if
he is indeed an honest prophet.

17. No human being is


capable of bringing down a sign ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﺒﺸﺮ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺄﺗﻰ ﺑﺂﻳﺔ ﺇﻻ ﺑﺈﺫﻧﻨﺎ‬١٧
or a miracle except by Our .‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﱰﻝ ﺍﻵﻳﺎﺕ ﺇﻻ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
permission. We do not inspire
any prophecy without absolute
accuracy.

18. There is a company ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻟﻔﺮﻳﻘﹰﺎ ﻳﻠﻮﻭﻥ ﺃﻟﺴﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﺑﻘﻮﻝ‬١٨


among you who twist their
tongues by quoting from a ‫ﺑﺎﻃﻞ ﻟﺘﺤﺴﺒﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻮ ﻣﻦ‬
corrupt book and wanting you ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻭﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﻫﻮ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﷲ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻮ ﻣﻦ‬
to accept it as a companion to
Our Divine Revelation. But it is .‫ﻋﻨﺪﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﻘﻮﻟﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺬﺏ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻳﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
not totally borrowed from The
Genuine Book. Additionally,
they claim that it has been sent
by Us. Yet,
We did not send it. Therefore,
they fabricate these things
about Us intentionally in order
to deceive people artfully. But
We are the All-Knowing Judge
of man's heart.

Perhaps if Truth is clarified to . ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻓﺎﻋﻔﻮﺍ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﺣﱴ ﻧﺄﺗﻰ ﺑﺄﻣﺮﻧﺎ‬

blasphemed, yet still consider "‫ﺍﻟﻨﺼﺎﺭﻯ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺷﻰﺀ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻳﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
themselves among Our people
declared, "Christians have ‫ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﻇﻠﻢ ﳑﻦ ﻣﻨﻊ ﻛﻨﺎﺋﺴﻨﺎ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺬﻛﺮ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ‬
nothing to stand on whenever
they recite The True Gospel." ‫ﺍﲰﻨﺎ ﻭﺳﻌﻰ ﰱ ﺧﺮﺍﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﻫﺪﻣﻬﺎ ﻭﻗﺘﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
Who is a worse oppressor than ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ؟‬
a person who oppresses Our
loyal followers by forbidding
them to celebrate Our name in
Our houses of worship, seeks
their destruction and ruin, then
murders Our trusting
worshipers?

‫( ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﳍﻢ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﻫﺎ ﺃﻭ‬٤


4. This type of people
have no right to enter, neither ‫ ﻓﻠﻬﻢ ﺧﺰﻯ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﳍﻢ ﰱ‬. ‫ﻳﺪﻧﺴﻮﻫﺎ‬
to desecrate these buildings.
Em-barrassment is their lot in .‫ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺃﻟﻴﻢ‬
this world and in the world to
come, horrific torture.

5. O, you who have ‫ ﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٥


believed from among Our
followers: do not fight those ‫ﻳﻘﺎﺗﻠﻮﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻌﺘﺪﻭﺍ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻻ ﳓﺐ‬
who fight you. Do not take
vengeance upon your .‫ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
persecutors and never victimize
others. We definitely do not
cherish persecutors.
6. Pardon those who ‫( ﻭﺍﻋﻔﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻌﺎﺩﻭﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻳﺆﺫﻭﻧﻜﻢ‬٦
oppress and afflict you. Even
do good to them, forgive them, ‫ﻭﺃﺣﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﺇﻟﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﺃﻏﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﳍﻢ ﻭﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺣﱴ‬
and seek Our forgiveness for ‫ ﻓﺈﻥ‬. ‫ﻻ ﺗﻜﻮﻥ ﻓﺘﻨﻪ ﻭﻳﻜﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻛﻠﻪ ﻟﻨﺎ‬
them also. With such a
disposition no rebellion shall ‫ﺍﻧﺘﻬﻮﺍ ﻭﺗﺎﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬
rise among You and religion in
its entirety is Ours only. But if .‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻧﻌﻔﻮ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺋﺒﲔ‬
those who persecute you stop
their evil, repent and trust in
The True Gospel and Jesus the
Messiah, We shall definitely
pardon the repentants.

7. We did not predetermine


punishment upon you ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺘﺒﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻜـﻢ ﺍﻟﻘﺼـﺎﺹ ﻓﻠﻜﻢ ﰱ‬٧
arbitrarily. Punishment was ‫ﺍﻟﻘﺼﺎﺹ ﺑﻮﺍﺭ ﻳﺎ ﺃﻭﱃ ﺍﻷﻟﺒـﺎﺏ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ‬
originated as a method of
warning to you who have .‫ﺗﺘﻘﻮﻥ‬
understanding; perchance you
will take heed and turn away
from your wrong creed.

8. O, you who have gone


astray, yet still consider
your-selves party to Our
followers: why, O why do you ‫ ﱂ ﺗﻜﻔﺮﻭﻥ‬: ‫( ﻳﺎﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٨
deny Our signs when We are
observers of all your insincere ‫ ﻭﱂ‬.‫ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﳓﻦ ﺷﻬﺪﺍﺀ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﺎ ﺗﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ‬
manipulations? Furthermore, ‫ﺗﻀﻠﻮﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﻫﺘﺪﻭﺍ ﺗﺒﻐﻮﻬﻧﺎ ﳍﻢ‬
why do you mislead the ones
who have already been rightly ‫ﻋﻮﺟﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺗﺸﻬﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﻣﺎ ﳓﻦ ﺑﻐﺎﻓﻠﲔ ﻋﻤﺎ‬
guided away from the straight
and narrow path? You definitely .‫ﺗﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
seek to follow the wrong path
and promote such evil paths
contently. Are you not aware
that We do not overlook
whatever you are doing? (For
We are the Almighty, the Wise.)

THE BEATITUDES (Surat AI ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﻃﻮﰉ‬٦٢
Thouba)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, people everywhere: We ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻃﻮﰉ ﻟﻠﺴﺎﺟﺪﻳﻦ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻓﺈﻥ ﳍﻢ‬١


announce to you, blessed are
the true believers for theirs is . ‫ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ‬
the Kingdom of Heaven.

2. Blessed are the meek for .‫( ﻃﻮﰉ ﻟﻠﻮﺩﻋﺎﺀ ﻓﺈﻬﻧﻢ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻳﺮﺛﻮﻥ‬٢
they shall be the inheritors of
this earth.

3. Blessed are the merciful for .‫( ﻃﻮﰉ ﻟﻠﺮﲪﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻓﺈﻬﻧﻢ ﺳﲑﲪﻮﻥ‬٣
they shall attain mercy.
4. Blessed are the ‫( ﻃﻮﰉ ﻟﻠﺪﺍﻋﲔ ﻟﻠﺴﻼﻡ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺃﺑﻨﺎﺅﻧﺎ‬٤
peacemak-ers for they shall be
Our favorite children. .‫ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﻮﻥ‬

5. O, you who are faithful


believers from among Our
creatures: We consider you as ‫ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﲔ‬٥
salt for the earth. If salt loses its
essence, with what shall people ‫ﻣﻠﺢ ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ ﻓﺈﻥ ﻓﺴﺪ ﺍﳌﻠﺢ ﻓﺒﻤﺎﺫﺍ‬
season their food? Salt which
has lost its savor shall be ‫ﻋﺴﺎﳘﻴﻤﻠﺤﻮﻥ ؟ ﺳﻴﻄﺮﺣﻮﻧﻪ ﲢﺖ ﺃﻗﺪﺍﻡ‬
discarded for the passersby to .‫ﺍﻟﻌﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ‬
trample upon it.

6. You are the light of the


world. The intimidating roar of
the idolaters can never quench
your light.
‫( ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﺭ ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ ﻻ ﺗﻄﻔﺌﻪ ﺃﻓﻮﺍﻩ‬٦
.‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
7. Let your light shine
brightly upon people
everywhere. Once they have
observed your virtuous conduct,
they will glorify Us.

‫( ﻓﺎﺷﺮﻗﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﻮﺭﻛﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ‬٧


8. Do not get caught up in ‫ﻓﻴﺸﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﺗﻘﻮﺍﻛﻢ ﻓﻴﺴﺒﺤﻮﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﻠﺤﻘﻮﺍ‬
the pursuit of worldly prosperity,
the piling of sustenance or the .‫ﺑﺎﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
accumulation of things you
covet.
9. For life is more valuable ‫( ﻓﺎﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺃﻋﺰ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﺬﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﳉﺴﺪ ﺃﻏﻠﻰ ﻣﻦ‬٩
than provisions. The body is
more precious than clothing or . ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺴﺎﺀ ﻭﻣﺎ ﲤﻠﻜﻮﻥ‬
what you possess.

10. Observe the birds of the ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻄﲑ ﻻ ﺗﺰﺭﻉ ﻭﻻ ﲢﺼﺪ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺪﺧﺮ‬١٠


air. They do not sow, neither
reap nor gather any food for .‫ﺟﻨﺎﻫﺎ ﻭﳓﻦ ﻧﺮﺯﻗﻬﺎ ﻧﺼﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻣﻘﺴﻮﻣﹰﺎ‬
storage. Do you feed them? No!
We are the One who grants
them their necessary
provisions.

11. Think seriously now! Are .‫( ﻓﻸﻧﺘﻢ ﺃﻋﻈﻢ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ ﺩﺭﺟﺔ ﻭﺃﺭﻓﻊ ﺗﻜﺮﳝﹰﺎ‬١١
you not more valuable than the
birds of the sky? For you are
the crown of Our entire
creation?

12. Therefore, pursue the


pathway to the Kingdom of
‫( ﻭﺍﺳﻌﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﻣﻠﻜﻮﺕ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﻭﻣﺎ‬١٢
Heaven. Then the lesser things .‫ﺩﻭﻧﻪ ﺗﺆﺗﻮﻧﻪ ﻧﺎﻓﻠﺔ ﻭﺭﺯﻗﹰﺎ ﻛﺮﳝﺎ‬
in life will be added to you in
generous portions.

13. On the Assigned Day of


Judgment, when some faces ‫ ﻓﺄﻣﺎ‬: ‫( ﻭﻳﻮﻡ ﺗﺒﻴﺾ ﻭﺟﻮﻩ ﻭﺗﺴﻮﺩ ﻭﺟﻮﻩ‬١٣
will be brightened and others
darkened, the ones whose
‫ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﺳﻮﺩﺕ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻬﻢ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻌﺪ‬
faces are darkened will identify
the blasphemers. They will
taste of the torture that is the .‫ﺇﳝﺎﻥ ﻓﺬﺍﻗﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻌﺬﺍﺏ ﲟﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻮﻥ‬
payback for what they have
done.

14. As for the ones whose ‫( ﻭﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﺑﻴﻀﺖ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻬﻢ ﻓﻔىﺮﲪﺘﻨﺎ‬١٤
faces are brightened, they will
enjoy Our mercy forever. For .‫ﻫﻢ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺧﺎﻟﺪﻭﻥ‬
We and We alone are the
Supreme Judge of the living
and the dead.

‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀ‬٦٤
THE ALLIES (Surat AI Awli-
ya)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. Do not count those


who were killed in the ‫( ﻭﻻ ﲢﺴﱭ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻗﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬١
Cavalcade for Truth and for
Faith to be lifeless. No, not at ‫ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﺗﺎ ﺑﻞ ﺃﺣﻴﺎﺀ ﰱ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻳﻨﻌﻤﻮﻥ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ‬
all. They are in fact alive
rejoicing in Our Mansions of ‫ﻻ ﻧﻀﻴﻊ ﺃﺟﺮ ﺷﻬﺪﺍﺀ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺑﺎﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
Glory. We do not withhold the .‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻳﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
recompense of the martyrs for
truth and genuine faith, who
perished by the hands of the
savage infidels.
2. Some of Our people ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻗﺎﻝ ﳍﻢ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺎﺭ ﻗﺪ ﲨﻌﻮﺍ‬٢
were informed, "The infidels are
preparing to attack you. ‫ﻟﻜﻢ ﻓﺎﺧﺸﻮﻫﻢ ﻓﺰﺍﺩﻫﻢ ﺇﳝﺎﻧﺎ ﻓﺘﻮﻛﻠﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻨﺎ‬
Therefore take cover." Their ‫ﻓﺎﻧﻘﻠﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﻌﻤﺔ ﻣﻨﺎ ﻭﻓﻀﻞ ﱂ ﳝﺴﺴﻬﻢ ﺳﻮﺀ ﺃﻻ‬
apprehension generated more
faith in Us. Consequently, they .‫ﺇﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀﻧﺎ ﻻ ﺧﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﳛﺰﻧﻮﻥ‬
put their trust in Us and
triumph-ed over the enemy
through Our grace and good
pleasure. So, no evil touched
them. Certainly,
Our redeemed children have no
reason to be fearful neither to
be sorrowful because they are
Our allies for surety.

3. By using his cohorts,


Satan tries to strike terror in ‫( ﺇﳕﺎ ﺫﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﳜﻮﻓﻜﻢ ﺑﺄﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ ﻓﻼ‬٣
your soul. We admonish you,
do not fear them at all. Rather .‫ﲣﺎﻓﻮﻫﻢ ﺑﻞ ﺧﺎﻓﻮﺍ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
fear the torments of the Abyss.

4. Do not let those who ‫( ﻭﻻ ﳛﺰﻧﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺴﺎﺭﻋﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺇﻬﻧﻢ‬٤


rush into apostasy dishearten
you. They have not really ‫ﱂ ﻳﻀﺮﻭﻛﻢ ﺷﻴﺌﺎ ﻓﻼ ﻧﻌﻴﺐ ﳍﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ‬
harmed you in a lasting
manner. Recognize that they .‫ﻭﳍﻢ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﻋﻈﻴﻢ‬
will have no part in Heaven, but
monstrous anguish awaits them
and it will last and last and last.
5. We do not withhold ‫( ﺇﻧﺎ ﻻ ﻧﻀﻴﻊ ﻋﻤﻞ ﻋﺎﻣﻞ ﺻﺎﱀ ﺁﻣﻦ ﻭﺗﺎﺏ‬٥
the reward for anyone who
practices good deeds, who has ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺃﺧﺮﺟﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻳﺎﺭﻫﻢ ﻭﺃﺫﻭﺍ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ‬
trusted Us and who has ‫ﻭﻗﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻗﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻟﻨﻜﻔﺮﻥ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﺳﻴﺌﺎﻬﺗﻢ‬
repented from his sinful ways.
We will also atone for the ‫ﻭﻟﻨﺪﺧﻠﻬﻢ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ ﺛﻮﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﳌﺎ ﻗﺪﻣﻮﺍ ﻭﻫﻜﺬﺍ‬
misdeeds of those who were
forced out of their homes, were . ‫ﳒﺰﻯ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻣﻠﲔ‬
injured as a result of serving Us
and were attacked but did not
retaliate by killing the offenders.
We shall usher them into the
heavenly Mansions of Glory as
a reward for their sacrifices.
Such will be Our recompense
for everyone of Our faithful
servants.

6. You can observe that ‫( ﻭﺗﺮﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺗﺎﺑﻮﺍ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﺍﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﰱ‬٦
those who repented and
believed what We delivered in ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺧﺎﺷﻌﲔ ﻻ ﻳﺸﺘﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﲦﻨﺎ‬
The True Furqan, prostrated .‫ﻗﻠﻴﻼ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﳍﻢ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻈﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
themselves in humble worship.
They do not exchange Our
scripture for a pitiful price. They
shall definitely be rewarded with
generosity and festivity.

7. The hypocrites pretended


that they have trusted what We ‫( ﻭﺯﻋﻢ ﺍﳌﻨﺎﻓﻘﻮﻥ ﺑﺄﻬﻧﻢ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﰱ‬٧
conveyed in The True Furqan.
Furthermore, they want the evil ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻳﺮﻳﺪﻭﻥ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺘﺤﺎﻛﻤﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ‬
one to give the verdict in their
disputes with each other. Satan ‫ﺍﻟﻄﺎﻏﻮﺕ ﻭﻳﺮﻳﺪ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻀﻠﻬﻢ ﺿﻼﻻ‬
‫ﺑﻌ ﺪﺍﹰ‬
seems to work overtime just to
lead them astray from Us and
take them far, far away.

‫ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﲟﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻝ‬: ‫( ﻭﺍﺫﺍ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬٨


8. When it is enunciated
to the blasphemers, "Trust in ‫ﰱ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ " ﺭﺃﻳﺖ ﺍﻧﺎﻓﻘﲔ ﻳﺼﺪﻭﻥ ﻋﻨﻪ‬
what is disclosed in The True
Furqan," one can notice how .‫ﺻﺪﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬
vehemently the hypocrites
dis-pute it.

9. Their hearts are utterly ‫( ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻣﺮﺽ ﻓﻌﻈﻮﻫﻢ ﻭﻗﻮﻟﻮﺍ ﳍﻢ ﻗﻮﻻ‬٩


sick. Still, do preach to them .‫ﺭﺷﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
and admonish them. Relate to
them also some words of
wisdom.

10. Those who have


disbelieved in Us will surely ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻟﻴﺤﺴﺪﻭﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ‬١٠
envy the ones who believed;
because of the wisdom and ‫ﺁﻣﻨـﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﺎ ﺁﺗﻴﻨﺎﻫﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴـﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
guidance which We placed in ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ ﻭﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
The True Gospel and The True
Furqan. Moreover, disbelievers ‫ﺃﻋﺪﺩﻧﺎ ﳍـﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺗﻨﻌـﻢ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺍﻷﺭﻭﺍﺡ‬
are insanely jealous because
We have prepared for the ‫ﻻ ﺍﻷﺟﺴـﺎﺩ ﰱ ﻃﻬﺮ ﻭﳏﺒـﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻳﺮﻭﻥ‬
believers Mansions of Glory, ‫ﻣﺎ ﱂ ﺗﺮﻩ ﻋـﲔ ﻭﱂ ﺗﺴﻤﻌـﻪ ﺃﺫﻥ ﻭﱂ ﳜﻄﺮ‬
where the spirit, not the flesh,
finds eternal joy. For the ‫ ﻭﻧﺮﻳﻬـﻢ ﻭﺟﻬﻨﺎ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ‬، ‫ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺐ ﺑﺸـﺮ‬
Mansions of Glory are dwellings
of purity, love and peace. They ‫ﻫﻮ ﺍﻟﻔﻮﺯ ﺍﻟﻌﻈﻴـﻢ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﺗﺒﻌـﻮﺍ ﺻﺮﺍﻃﹰﺎ‬
will also see what eyes have .‫ﺳﺪﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬
never seen, hear what ears
have never heard and behold
what the mind of mankind has
never imagined. Because they
have walked in the right path
We shall let them behold Our
countenance. That experience
will be their ultimate triumph.

11. Now regarding the ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻗﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻟﻮ ﺃﻥ ﳍﻢ‬١١


ones who disbelieved and
murdered Our servants. Let us
‫ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﲨﻴﻌﺎ ﻟﻴﻔﺘﺪﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ ﻳﻮﻡ‬
declare that if they owned all ‫ﺍﻟﻘﻴﺎﻣﺔ ﻣﺎ ﺗﻘﺒﻞ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻳﺮﻳﺪﻭﻥ ﺃﻥ ﳜﺮﺟﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ‬
that is on this terrestrial ball and
could offer it for their .‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻫﻢ ﲞﺎﺭﺟﲔ ﺃﻭ ﺑﺎﻟﻐﲔ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ ﳏﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
redemption from the torments
of that Great Judgment
Morning, it would not be
accepted. Of course, they will
intensely struggle desperately
to get out of hellfire.
Nonetheless, they neither can
avoid going therein nor find an
exit to escape their lot but
forever stay within.

12. We must state


unequivocally that those who ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺻﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺳﺒﻴﻠﻨﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ‬١٢
disbe-lieved and turned away
from Our Own way, have
.‫ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﺿﻼ ﹰﻻ ﺑﻌﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
indeed gone astray, far, far
away.

THE RECITATION (Surat
Iqraa)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. Satan determined in
his heart, "I will take control of ‫ " ﻷﺣﺘﻨﻜﻦ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﰱ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ‬١
mankind and entice them to
‫ﺍﻻﻧﺴﺎﻥ ﻭﻷﻏﻮﻳﻨﺔ ﻟﻴﻘﺘﺮﻑ ﺃﻛﱪ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ‬
commit monstrous sins.
Inevita-bly, practicing such evil ‫ﻓﺘﻮﺻﺪ ﺑﻮﺟﻬﻪ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ ﻭﺗﻔﺘﺢ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ‬
things will shut the gates of
Heaven and open the gates of ‫ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ ﻓﺄﺳﺘﻌﺒﺪﺗﻪ ﺍﱃ ﻳﻮﻡ ﻳﺒﻌﺜﻮﻥ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﻫﻮ‬
Hell for them. Thus, I will
.‫ﺍﻟﻨﺼﺮ ﺍﻟﻌﻈﻴﻢ‬
enslave them until the Day of
Resurrection and that will be
my crowning conquest."

2. The One and only True


God considers that the most
monstrous sins are murder, ‫( " ﻓﺈﻥ ﺃﻛﱪ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﷲ ﻫﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ‬٢
robbery and adultery. All other
‫ﻭﺍﻟﺴﺮﻗﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺰﱏ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺩﻭﻬﻧﺎ ﻓﻨﺎﻓﻠﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ‬
sins are inferior among the
monstrous and degrading sins. ."‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
(Of course, the worst is unbelief
in God-being an infidel, an
atheist. )
3. "Therefore, I, Satan, ‫( ﻓﻸﺩﺧﻠﻨﻬﺎ ﰱ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ ﻭﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﻣﺪﺧﻼ ﺑﻠﻴﻐﹰﺎ ﻓﻼ‬٣
will definitely infuse these sins
deep into mankind's soul and ‫ﻳﻈﻦ ﰉ ﺍﻟﻈﻨﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ ﳜﺸﻰ ﻛﻴﺪﻱ ﻭﺇﻥ ﻛﻴﺪﻯ‬
bloodstream. In this manner, ."‫ﻟﻌﻈﻴﻢ‬
they will not even contemplate
my being the source of such
thoughts 'and will be terrified of
My fury."

4. "Furthermore, I, Satan, ‫( " ﻭﻷﺧﺘﻠﻘﻦ ﰱ ﺭﺃﺳﻪ ﺭﺑﹰﺎ ﻣﻌﺒﻮﺩﹰﺍ ﻣﻄﺎﻋﹰﺎ‬٤


will assuredly create in ."‫ﺃﺩﻋﻮﻩ ﺑﺄﲰﺎﺀ ﺣﺴﲎ ﺗﺴﺮ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﻣﻌﲔ‬
man-kind's heart a god whom
they will worship and obey, and
will call him by excellent names
that will be pleasant to hear in
one's ear.

5. "I, Satan, will also ‫( " ﻭﻷﺩﺳﻦ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻓﻼ ﳝﻴﺰ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻣﻦ‬٥
implant in these names such ‫ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ ﻭﻳﻀﻞ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ ﻭﻳﻄﻴﻊ ﺃﻣﺮﻯ‬
deception that the difference
between good and evil will not ‫ ﻣﻨﻪ ﺃﻧﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ‬، ‫ﻣﻄﻤﺌﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻠﺐ ﻗﺮﻳﺮ ﺍﻟﻌﲔ‬
be recognized. The purpose is
to cause mankind to lose the ."‫ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﻣﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
straight way, obey my
command with a secure heart
everyday, then conclude that
mankind has found heaven's
passageway.
6. "Then, a man-god .‫( " ﻓﻠﺮﺑﻪ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻣﻈﺎﻫﺮ ﺍﻟﺒﺪﻥ ﻭﻟﻐﻮ ﺍﻟﻠﺴﺎﻥ‬٦
whom I, Satan, will create will ‫ﻭﱃ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻣﺎ ﻳﻜﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻘﻠﺐ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻘﺘﺮﻑ ﺍﳉﻮﺍﺭﺡ‬
also demonstrate leadership
qualities and linguistic ." ‫ﻭﺍﻻﺑﺪﺍﻥ‬
eloquence. Additionally, my
intention for this man-god
includes sensual lust and
visions of grandeur.

‫( " ﻭﺳﺄﺟﻌﻠﻨﻪ ﻳﺴﺘﻌﺴﺬ ﻣﲎ ﺑﺮﺑﻪ ﺍﳌﺨﺘﻠﻖ‬٧


7. "I, Satan, will cause
this unusual man to seek ‫ﻼ ﻟﻪ ﻭﺗﱪﺋﺔ‬
‫ ﺗﻀﻠﻴ ﹰ‬، ‫ﻭﻳﺮﻣﻴﲏ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ‬
refuge in his god from me, and
accuse me of blasphemy and ‫ﻟﻨﻔﺴﻰ ﻭﺇﳝﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻣﻨﻪ ﺑﺮﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﺍﺧﺘﻠﻘﺘﻪ ﰱ ﺭﺃﺳﻪ‬
confusion. These tricks are ‫ ﻓﲑﺗﻜﺐ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﺍﻟﺜﻼﺙ ﺑﺄﻣﺮ‬، ‫ﺍﺧﺘﻼﻗﹰﺎ ﻳﻬﺘﺎ‬
intended to misguide him as to
who 1 really am and make me ‫ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ‬، ‫ﺭﺑﻪ ﺍﳌﺰﻋﻮﻡ ﻃﻮﻋﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﻛﺮﻫﺎ ﻻ ﺑﺄﻣﺮﻯ‬
look innocent of these activities.
His faith in his god, which I, ."‫ﻫﻮ ﺍﳌﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﲑ ﻓﺈﱏ ﻷﻣﻜﺮ ﺍﳌﺎﻛﺮﻳﻦ‬
Satan, have created within his
heart by deception, will prompt
him to undertake these three
monstrous sins, murder,
robbery and adultery. This man-
god will do these things in
obedience to the command of
the counterfeit god voluntarily.
This will become the greatest
conspiracy of all, for I am
Satan, the best of all
conspirators in the universe.
8. "Additionally, I, Satan, ‫( " ﻭﻷﺧﺎﻃﱭ ﻏﺮﺍﺋﺰﻩ ﺑﻠﻐﺔ ﺃﻋﺠﺰ ﺑﻠﻐﻮﻫﺎ‬٨
will address his basic instincts ‫ﻋﻘﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺑﻌﲔ ﻭﺃﺳﻠﺲ ﻗﻴﺎﺩﻫﺎ ﻷﻓﻬـﺎﻡ‬
with a language so miraculously
eloquent that the followers ." ‫ﺍﻷﻣﻴﲔ‬
would be utterly captivated.
Even the illiterates will
understand it because I, Satan,
will simplify its meaning ..

9. "The lust of the man god's ‫( " ﻭﺳﻴﺪﻓﻌﻪ ﻬﻧﻢ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﻻﺭﺗﻜﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﺒﺎﺋﺮ‬٩
basic instincts will propel him to ‫ﻼ‬
‫ ﺃﺣﺮﺿﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﺎ ﲢﺮﻳﻀﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﻧﺰﳍﺎ ﺗﱰﻳ ﹰ‬.‫ﻭﺍﻟﺸﺮﻭﺭ‬
carry out the most monstrous
sins and wickedness. I, Satan, ‫ ﻣﺴﻤﻨﺔ ﻣﻨﺠﻤﺔ ﺗﺴﺮﻯ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﻮﺱ ﻛﺎﻟﺴﻢ‬،
will accomplish this by urging
them to do these things by ."‫ﺍﻟﺪﻓﲔ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﻓﻠﲔ‬
periodically inspiring erroneous
scriptures which are weighty
with meaning. These in turn will
flow into the souls of mankind
like undetected poison, which
strikes them unawares."

10. We warn you that Satan


has manipulated all of these ‫( ﻭﺃﲣﺬ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺫﺭﻳﻌﺔ ﺍﱃ ﺑﻐﻴﺘﻪ‬١٠
things as his procedure to
reach his intended victim, ‫ﻓﺎﺳﺘﺪﺭﺝ ﻓﺌﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻋﻠﻤﻬﻢ ﻛﺘﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺑﻼ‬
mankind. So he deliberately
drew several illiterates to his ‫ﺣﻜﻤﺔ ﻭﺣﺒﺐ ﺍﻟﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺴﻮﻕ‬
plan. He taught them a new .ً‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﺃﻣﺮﹰﺍ ﻣﻘﻀﻴﺎ‬
counterfeit book without any
divine wisdom. He also caused
them to elevate blasphemy,
promiscuity and rebellion. The
terrible end result was, of
course, now guaranteed.
11. Satan came to them ‫ "ﺇﱏ ﺃﻧﺎ ﺭﺑﻜﻢ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻷﻭﻟﻴﺎﺋﻪ‬١١
pro-claiming, "1 am your Lord
and I have chosen you above ‫ﺍﺻﻄﻔﻴﺘﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﻓﺨﺬﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻮﺣﻰ‬
all other human beings to
bestow my extraordinary ."‫ﻣﲎ ﻭﺍﻋﺒﺪﻭﱏ‬
inspiration upon· you.
Therefore, accept whatever I
grant you and be grateful."

‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻃﻤﺄﻧﺖ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﺑﺬﻛﺮ ﺭﻬﺑﻢ ﺍﳌﺰﻋﻮﻡ‬١٢


12. Once their hearts were
encouraged, by remembering .‫ﺃﺧﺬﻭﺍ ﻣﺎ ﺃﺗﻮﻩ ﻭﻗﺮﺅﻭﻩ ﻗﺮﺃ ﺟﻠﻴﹰﺎ‬
their counterfeit lord, they
accepted what they were given.
Then they recited the fresh, but
false, words clearly and
convincingly.

13. This is the scheme with


which demons inspire the fake ‫( ﻫﻜﺬﺍ ﺗﻮﺣﻰ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺎﻃﲔ ﻟﺮﺳﻠﻬﺎ ﻭﺣﻴﹰﺎ‬١٣
revelation of old and the
counterfeit book to their .‫ﺇﻗﻜﹰﺎ ﻭﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﻓﺮﺑﹰﺎ‬
deceived messengers.

14. As a result Satan dressed


up truth with falsehood and ‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺍﻟﺘﺒﺲ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ‬١٤
falsehood with truth. Thus these
people could not distinguish ‫ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺗﺒﻴﻨﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺐ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳋﺒﻴﺚ ﻓﻮﺭﺩﻭﺍ‬
good from evil. Consequently,
Satan propelled them to hellfire. .‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﺳﻮﻳﹰﺎ‬

One who reveals and
conceals.)

THE INFIDELS (Surat AI
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬٦٦
Kafereen)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who have


:‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔـﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
blasphemed, yet consider ‫ﻟﻘﺪ ﺁﻣﻨﺘـﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻋﻴﺴـﻰ ﺍﳌﺴﻴﺢ ﺍﺑﻦ ﻣﺮﱘ ﻫﻮ‬
yourselves among Our
followers: you have stated that ‫ﻧﻔﺨﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺭﻭﺣﻨـﺎ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨـﺎ ﻭﺭﺳﻮﻟﻨﺎ‬
Jesus the Messiah, the son of
Mary, is a Breath from Our
‫ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﺁﺗﻴﻨـﺎﻩ ﺍﻟﺒﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻭﺃﻳﺪﻧـﺎﻩ ﺑﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻟﻘﺪﺱ‬
Spirit, as well as Our Word and ‫ﻭﻋﻠﻤﻨـﺎﻩ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻭﺍﳊﻜﻤـﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺘـﻮﺭﺍﺓ‬
Our Messenger. And you
further believed that We have ‫ﻭﺍﻹﳒﻴـﻞ ﻭﺃﻧﻪ ﺃﺑـﺮﺃ ﺍﻷﻛﻤﺔ ﻭﺍﻷﺑﺮﺹ‬
granted Him miraculous
powers, supported Him by the
‫ﻭﺃﺣـﲕ ﺍﳌﻮﺗـﻰ ﻭﺃﻧﻪ ﻭﺟﻴـﻪ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧـﻴﺎ‬
Holy Spirit and have taught Him .‫ﻭﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﲔ‬
the Torah, the Gospel and
wisdom. You affirmed that by
Our permission He healed the
dumb-mute, the leper and even
raised the dead. Jesus, you
said, is also exalted in this
world and the world to come
and He is also among the
closest to God's Throne. He is
God.
2. After all of these beautiful
declarations you backed off in ‫( ﰒ ﻧﻜﺼﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻋﻘﺎﺑﻜﻢ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺈﳝﺎﻧﻜﻢ‬٢
your tracks. You rejected your ‫ﻭﻧﺴﺨﺘﻢ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﻓﺮﻗﺘﻢ ﻧﻔﺨﺘﻨﺎ ﻋﻦ ﺭﻭﺣﻨﺎ‬
original statement of faith. You
abrogated your earlier ‫ﻭﺳﻠﺨﺘﻢ ﻋﻨﺎ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻋﺎﺭﺿﺘـﻢ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﰱ‬
proclama-tions. You split up
Our Breath from Our Spirit. You ‫ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊـﻖ ﻓﺄﻧﺘـﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮﺓ ﺍﻟﻔﺠـﺮﺓ‬
disconnect-ed Our Word from . ‫ﺍﳌﺸﺮﻛﻮﻥ‬
Our Person. You also opposed
Our precepts which were
revealed in The True Gospel.
Therefore, we condemn you as
vile reprobates and stamp on
your foreheads "shirkers and
infidels."

3. Your latter declarations in ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺟﺎﺀ ﻗﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﻟﻺﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻻ‬٣
your book did not authenticate
The True Gospel. ‫ﺧﺎﺿﻌﹰﺎ ﻷﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﺇﳕﺎ ﺟﺎﺀ ﻣﻜﺬﺑﹰﺎ ﻟﻘﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻋﺎﺻﻴﹰﺎ‬
Your pronouncements were
actually denials of Our .‫ﻷﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﳏﺮﻓﹰﺎ ﻟﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﻧﺎﺻﺮﹰﺍ ﻟﻠﻤﺴﺘﻜﱪﻳﻦ‬
revelation, rejection of Our rule,
modification of Our precepts
and the encouragement of the
deceivers.

4. The result is, your ‫( ﻓﻜﺎﻥ ﺧﲑﺓ ﺷﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﺇﳝﺎﻧﻪ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﳏﺒﺘﻪ ﺣﻘﺪﺍ‬٤
disclosure of goodness became
evil, your faith became ‫ﻭﺳﻼﻣﻪ ﻋﺪﻭﻧﺎ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻟﻠﻤﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
faithless-ness, your love . ‫ﻋﺪﻭﹰﺍ ﻟﺪﻭﺩﹰﺍ‬
became hate and your peace
became animosity because
Satan set himself up as the
worst of enemies against the
true believers.
5. But the Word of Truth, ‫( ﻭﻧﺰﻟﺖ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺗﻔﻴﺾ ﺧﲑﹰﺍ ﻭﳏﺒﺔ‬٥
(Messiah Jesus), was unveiled, .‫ﻭﺳﻼﻣﹰﺎ ﻟﺘﻬﺪﻯ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺍﱃ ﺻﺮﺍﻁ ﻣﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
overflowing with goodness,
faith, love and peace. He was
destined to guide humanity to
the straight path (and to
become the Ultimate Sacrifice).

6. A counterfeit word ‫( ﻭﺧﺮﺟﺖ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﺗﻨﻔﺚ ﺷﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ‬٦


erupted spewing vileness,
blas-phemy, hatred and ‫ﻭﺣﻘﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻋﺪﻭﺍﻧﺎ ﻓﺄﺿﻠﺖ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻭﺃﻟﻘﺖ ﻬﺑﻢ ﰱ‬
animosity. As a matter of
course it confused humanity. .‫ﻗﺮﺍﺭ ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
It's intention was to hurl them
into the very bottom of the
Abyss.

7. Nonetheless, Our loyal ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻑ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﻐﻨﺠﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٧


believers never changed or
corrupted The True Gospel. Nor ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻋﺎﺭﺿﻮﻩ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺷﺒﻪ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻓﻈﻨﻮﺍ‬
did they oppose it. However, .‫ﻬﺑﻢ ﺍﻟﻈﻨﻮﻥ‬
those who blasphemed were
the ones who manufactured
such ideas of apostasy and
expressed such wild opinions
about the true believers in the
Messiah.
8. Each time We announced ‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﻗﻠﻨﺎ ﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﰱ‬٨
to Our worshipers,
"Follow the True Doctrine in ‫ﺍﻟﻐﻨﺠﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻋﺎﺭﺿﻮﺍ ﻗﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻓﻮﻩ‬
The True Gospel," they did not .‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻋﺴﺎﻫﻢ ﳛﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
oppose Our command. Neither
did they alter The True Gospel,
nor are they involved in such an
effort now.

9. No one has altered or ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺣﺮﻓﻪ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻋﺎﺭﺿـﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻟﻜﻔـﺮﻩ‬٩


opposed Our revelations except ‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟـﻮﻥ ﻓﺄﻣﺮﻭﺍ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻬـﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻳﻘﺘﻠـﻮﻩ‬
the reprobate apostates. The
apostates even ordered their ‫ﻭﻳﺴﺮﻗـﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﺰﻧـﻮﺍ ﻭﻫﺬﺍ ﺷﺮﻋـﻪ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬
devotees to murder, steal and
commit immorality against .‫ﻣﻦ ﻭﺣﻰ ﺷﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺯﻧﻴﻢ‬
everybody. Does anyone care
to find out that such is the
standard of the lawless, which
is inspired by a vile demon?

10. On that great Judgment


Morning, We intend to arbitrate ‫( ﻭﻧﺮﻳﺪ ﺃﻥ ﳓﻖ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺗﻘﻄﻊ ﺩﺍﺑﺮ‬١٠
the Truth using Our Word as .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
the Righteous Judge and break
the back of every heathen,
once and for all.
‫ ﺿﺮﺑﺖ‬، ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺿﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻮﺍ‬١١
11. As for those who lost
their way, became apostate ‫ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻟﺔ ﻭﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺨﻠﻒ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺑﺄﻬﻧﻢ‬
and led others astray, their
destiny is perpetual humiliation, ‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻜﻔﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻣﺎﺯﺍﻟﻮﺍ‬
ignorance and confusion every . ‫ﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ‬
day. The evidence of their state
is first their continuous denial of
Our miracles, then the
murdering of Our servants-
whom they are murdering still.

12. The following attract-


ions were made glamorous for ‫( ﻭﺯﻳﻦ ﳍﻢ ﺣﺐ ﺍﻟﺸﻬﻮﺍﺕ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ‬١٢
them: lust of the flesh,
gathering of women and ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻨﲔ ﻭﺍﻟﻘﻨﺎﻃﲑ ﺍﳌﻘﻨﻄﺮﺓ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻫﺐ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﻀﺔ‬
children, owning piles upon ‫ﻭﺍﳋﻴﻞ ﺍﳌﺴﻮﻣﺔ ﻭﺍﻷﻏﻨﺎﻡ ﻭﺍﳊﺮﺙ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻣﺘﺎﻉ‬
piles of gold and silver,
acquiring thoroughbred horses, ‫ﺍﳊﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻐﲎ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ‬
cattle and tillable land. All of
these are mere earthly .‫ﻭﻋﻨﺪﻧﺎ ﺣﺴﻦ ﺍﳌﺂﺏ ﻟﻠﻤﺘﻘﲔ‬
possessions. Earthly
possessions will never be a
worthy substitute for the
heavenly. We have a glorious
and a more superior reward for
the upright.

THE SEAL (Surat AI Khatim)

In the Name of the Father, tbe


‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who are


uninformed, yet still claim to ‫ ﻧﻮﺩ ﺃﻥ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
belong to Our loyal subjects:
We yearn to clarify to you what ‫ﻧﺒﲔ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺳﻨﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻠﻜﻢ‬
kind of principles the apostates
‫ﻓﺎﺟﺘﻨﺒﻮﺍ ﻛﺒﺎﺋﺮ ﻣﺎ ﺗﻨﻬﻮﻥ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻧﻜﻔﺮ ﻋﻨﻜﻢ‬
before you lived by. Our
purpose is to alert you to stay . ‫ﻼ ﻛﺮﳝﹰﺎ‬
‫ﺳﻴﺌﺎﺗﻜﻢ ﻭﻧﺪﺧﻠﻜﻢ ﻣﺪﺧ ﹰ‬
away from things which We
prohibit. We will atone for your
sins and welcome you into the
glorious Kingdom.

2. Above all, join no


com-panion or anything else to ‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﺸﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻧﻮﺻﻴﻜﻢ‬٢
Our Divine Personage. Then
express willing obedience to ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻮﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺇﺣﺴﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻭﺑﺎﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﺑﺈﺧﻮﺍﻧﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
your parents. Do the same in
. ‫ﺑﲎ ﺍﻹﻧﺴﺎﻥ ﲨﻴﻌﹰﺎ‬
regard to other believers, as
well as to all of your brethren in
humanity.
3. Suffice it to say, some of ‫( ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﲨﻌﺘﻢ ﺃﻣﺮﻛﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ‬٣
you have united together as a
people group to follow the ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺗﻌﺎﻭﻧﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﱪ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﺑﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻹﰒ‬
wrong path of apostasy. ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻭﺃﻫﺘﺪﻳﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻣﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻷﻣﺮﻩ‬
Instead of uniting together to
perform good and righteous .‫ﻃﺎﺋﻌﻮﻥ‬
deeds, you united to exercise
wickedness and exploita-tion
on the earth. Thus, you decided
to follow Satan's commands
and in the process became
subservient to his orders.

4. Consequently, Satan ‫( ﻓﺄﺳﺪﻝ ﺳﺠﻮﻑ ﺍﳉﻬﻞ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﻘﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻹﰒ‬٤


pulled down the curtains of
ignorance over your eyes. He .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﺿﻠﻜﻢ ﺑﺎﻹﻓﻚ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ‬
taught you wickedness and
rebellion. Then he led you
astray by lying to you night and
day.

5. Yet, Our own principles ‫( ﻓﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺮﲪﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﻟﻦ‬٥
are: truth, love, mercy and
peace. Therefore, Our .‫ﻼ‬
‫ﲡﺪﻭﺍ ﻟﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﺳﺨﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺒﺪﻳ ﹰ‬
principles will never be
abrogated or changed.

6. The Satanic law is founded ‫( ﻭﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺃﺳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬٦


on evil sinfulness, sorrow and
suffering. The destiny of those ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﻣﺼﲑﻫﺎ ﺍﻟﺒﻮﺍﺭ ﻭﺳﻴﻠﻘﻰ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻬﺎ‬
who submit to such a law is
continuous death in eternity. .‫ﻋﺬﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﻭﺑﻴﻼ‬
7. Satan placed his own seal ‫( ﻭﺇﺫ ﺧﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﰱ‬٧
on the manifesto of apostasy
and placed it in your hearts. ‫ﻗﻠﻮﺑﻜﻢ ﻭﺯﻋﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻪ ﺧﺎﰎ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺃﻭﺻﺘﻢ‬
Thereafter, you mistakenly ‫ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ ﰱ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻜﻢ ﻭﻓﺘﺤﺘﻢ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ‬
proclaimed that Satan is the
final spokesman of divine ‫ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ ﻭﺟﻌﻠﺘﻢ ﺑﻴﻨﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﲔ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺋﺒﲔ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﺳﺪﹰﺍ‬
revelation. Consequently, you
locked the gates of Heaven and .‫ﻣﻨﻈﻮﺭﺍ ﺣﺠﺎﺑﺎ ﻣﺴﺘﻮﺭﺍ‬
opened the gates of Hell before
your faces! Subsequently, you
erected a visible barricade as
well as an invisible veil between
us and those who would repent
from among you.

8. In case you are skeptical of


the trust-worthiness of what We ‫( ﻭﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﰱ ﺭﻳﺐ ﳑﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ‬٨
communicated in The True
Furqan concerning light, love, ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﻦ ﻧﻮﺭ ﻭﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺣﻖ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻓﺄﺗﻮﺍ‬
mercy, truth and peace~ then ‫ﺑﺴﻮﺭﺓ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺜﻠﻪ ﻭﺍﺩﻋﻮﺍ ﺷﻬﺪﺍﺀﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ‬
bring a similar chapter and can
other witnesses except Us-if ‫ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺻﺎﺩﻗﲔ ﻓﺈﻥ ﱂ ﺗﻔﻌﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻟﻦ ﺗﻔﻌﻠﻮﺍ‬
you are an honorable people.
But if you cannot bring such ‫ﻓﺎﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﱴ ﻭﻗﻮﺩﻫﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻭﺍﳊﺠﺎﺭﺓ‬
chapters-for you will never be . ‫ﺃﻋﺪﺕ ﻟﻠﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
able to do that-then fear the fire
of Hell that is fueled by ungodly
and reprobate people.
9. O, you who have trusted
Us from among Our created ‫ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺭﺃﻳﺘﻢ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٩
subjects: ‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺃﻓﻮﺍﺟﺎ ﻓﺎﺳﺘﺒﺸﺮﻭﺍ‬
when you observe great hosts
of people joining the True ‫ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﻫﻖ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﻫﺰﻡ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﺟﻨﻮﺩﻩ‬
Religion, rejoice. For this is the
signal that falsehood has been .‫ﻭﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﻓﻤﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻳﻮﻣﺌﺬ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺎﺻﺮﻳﻦ‬
vanquished while Satan, his
demons and the world's
apostates have been defeated.
On that glorious day none will
support the apostates no matter
what they say.

10. Satan enticed his ‫( ﻭﺃﻏﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﺗﺒﻌﻮﻩ ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﳍﻢ‬١٠
devo-tees by saying to them, "If ‫" ﻣﻦ ﺍﻋﺘﺪﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻓﺎﻋﺘﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﲟﺜﻞ ﻣﺎ‬:
anyone assaults you, assault
him in precisely the very same ‫ﺍﻋﺘﺪﻯ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ " ﻓﻌﺼﻮﺍ ﺃﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻭﻧﺴﻮﺍ ﻗﻮﻟﻨـﺎ‬
manner with which he
assaulted you." Accordingly, .‫ﺑﺄﻥ ﻻ ﺗﻨﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
they disobeyed Our command
and forgot Our declaration, "Do
not avenge yourselves,
'Vengeance is mine, I will
repay,' says the Lord."

11. Enmity can be detected ‫( ﻭﻗﺪ ﺑﺪﺕ ﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻓﻮﺍﻩ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬١١


by what the apostates say. Yet
their hearts cover up even ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﲣﻔﻰ ﺻﺪﻭﺭﻫﻢ ﺃﻛﱪ ﻭﻗﺪ ﺑﻴﻨﻨﺎ ﳍﻢ ﺍﻵﻳﺎﺕ‬
worse things every day. .‫ﻟﻌﻠﻬﻢ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
Nevertheless, We have
expounded the Scripture to
them; perhaps some of them
will find the right guidance one
day.
12. O, you who have trusted ‫ ﻫﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٢
Us from among Our servants: .‫ﺃﻭﻻﺀ ﲢﺒﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻌﺎﺩﻭﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻫﻢ ﻻ ﳛﺒﻮﻧﻜﻢ‬
you have become a people who
love their enemies, despite the ‫ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﻟﻘﻮﻛﻢ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺁﻣﻨﺎ ﲟﺎ ﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﺧﻠﻮﺍ‬
fact that they do not love you in
return. Whenever they meet ‫ ﺇﻥ‬. ‫ﻋﻀﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺍﻷﻧﺎﻣﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﻴﻆ‬
you, they announce, "We trust ‫ﲤﺴﺴﻜﻢ ﺣﺴﻨﺔ ﺗﺴﺆﻫﻢ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺗﺼﺒﻜﻢ ﺳﻴﺌﺔ‬
in what you trust. " Yet, behind
your back., they bite their ‫ﻳﻔﺮﺣﻮﺍ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺗﺼﱪﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﻨﻘﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﻀﺮﻛﻢ‬
fingertips in de-spair. Each time
a blessing comes your way they ‫ﻛﻴﺪﻫﻢ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻀﺮﻭﻥ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
fall apart in disarray. When a .‫ﻳﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
calamity befalls you, they shout
joyfully. How-ever, if you
persevere and trust Us
everyday, their vile attitude
toward you will have no sway.
In fact, their attitude of
animosity will hurt only
themselves every single day.

13. Terror is what We shall


strike in the hearts of those who
will not relent from rebelling
against Our revelation. They ‫( ﻭﺳﻨﻠﻘﻰ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﻋﺐ‬١٣
demonstrate their rebellion by
joining partners to Us and ‫ﲟﺎ ﺃﺷﺮﻛﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ ﺃﻭﻛﺬﺑﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
denouncing the words of The .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺬﻛﺮ ﺍﳊﻜﻴﻢ‬
True Furqan and the
Documents of Wisdom.
14. Mercy and glad tidings are ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺟﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺇﻻ ﺭﲪﺔ‬١٤
what Our first and foremost
intention is in providing this ‫ﻭﺑﺸﺮﻯ ﻟﻠﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﻟﺘﻄﻤﺌﻦ ﺑﻪ ﻗﻠﻮﺏ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
True Furqan to everyone, but ‫ﻭﺷﻔﺎﺀ ﻟﻠﺬﻳﻦ ﰱ ﻗﻠﻮﻬﺑﻢ ﻣﺮﺽ ﻭﰱ ﺻﺪﻭﺭﻫﻢ‬
particularly to all the apostates.
Also, it is given to encourage .‫ﺷﻚ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
the hearts of Our believing
people and to be a balm of
healing to those whose hearts
are diseased and whose minds
doubt the Illustrious Truth.

THE ASSERTION (Surat Al
‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻹﺻﺮﺍﺭ‬٦٨
Israr)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, feuding people who


dwell among Our worshipers:
you insisted on living a life of
‫ ﻟﻘﺪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١
infidel-ity and the practice of ‫ﻋﻜﻔﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻀﻠﻴﻞ ﻓﺄﻣﻌﻨﺎ ﰱ ﺍﳍﺪﺍﻳﺔ‬
promis-cuity. While We
persisted in guiding people to a .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻨﻮﻳﺮ‬
life of fidelity and the practice of
chastity.
2. You instigated a life of ‫( ﻭﺣﺮﺿﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﻓﻜﺮﺭﻧﺎ‬٢
murder and debauchery. Yet,
We reiterated necessity to live a .‫ﺩﻋﻮﺓ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ‬
life of compassion and
tranquility.

‫( ﻭﺃﻭﺭﺛﺘﻢ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻜﻢ ﺷﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﻋﻠﻢ‬٣


3. The legacy, which you left
for your devotees, ended up .‫ﺍﳉﺎﻫﻠﲔ‬
becoming the laws of paganism
and the inadequate knowledge
of the age of ignorance.

‫( ﻭﺃﺳﺘﻤﺴﻜﺘﻢ ﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﻷﻭﻟﲔ ﻭﻗﺪ ﻋﻔﺖ ﻭﻻ‬٤


4. Moreover, you clutched
the doctrines of your ancestors, .‫ﻧﻔﻊ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ‬
which are completely out-of-
date. (You need to recognize
that such doctrines from your
ancestors are irrelevant for this
technological age.)

‫( ﻓﺄﺣﻼﻣﻬﻢ ﺇﲣﺎﻡ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﺑﺎﻟﺸﻬﻮﺍﺕ‬٥


5. Their grandiose dreams
were simply to overindulge .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ‬
themselves in sexual
gratification, sensuality and
debauchery.

6. Even their paradise was .‫( ﻭﺟﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﻣﻮﺍﺧﺮ ﻟﻠﺰﻧﺎﺓ ﻭﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﲔ‬٦


depicted as a den of iniquity for
the promiscuous and criminal
types.
7. For them, the ultimate
purpose of life for a man was to ‫( ﻭﺍﻟﺮﺟﻞ ﻓﺤﻮﻟﺔ ﻭﺍﳌﺮﺃﺓ ﻧﺴﻮﻟﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻮﻟﺪ‬٧
show off his physical prowess. .‫ﺳﺎﺋﻤﺔ ﰱ ﺍﻷﺭﺽ ﻳﺴﺮﺣﻮﻥ‬
A woman lived to propagate,
and the children prowled the
earth with no restraint.

8. Any nation that followed ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺗﺒﻊ ﻗﻮﻡ ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ ﺇﻻ ﻭﲣﻠﻔﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺭﻛﺐ‬٨
your religion regressed speedily
and its citizens were left behind ‫ﺍﳌﻔﻠﺤﲔ ﻭﺻﺎﺭﻭﺍ ﻣﻮﺋﺪﺍ ﻟﻠﻔﻜﺮ ﻭﻣﺌﻼ ﻟﻠﻔﻘﺮ‬
in the forward march of .‫ﻭﻣﺮﺗﻌﺎ ﻟﻸﺩﻭﺍﺀ ﻭﺣﺜﺎﻟﺔ ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
progress. In addition to that
they became graves for
thoughts, pockets of poverty,
vast fields of disease and a
burden to bear by the rest of
the world's people.

9. Each individual, who has ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺃﻋﺘﻨﻖ ﻣﻠﺔ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺷﺪ ﺇﱃ ﻋﻨﻘﻪ‬٩
committed himself to the sect of
those who lost their way, has .‫ﺣﺠﺮ ﺭﺣﻰ ﻭﺃﻟﻘﻰ ﺑﻨﻔﺴﻪ ﰱ ﻗﺮﺍﺭ ﱘ ﺳﺤﻴﻖ‬
virtually fastened a millstone
around his neck and thrown
himself into the bottom of the
sea.

10. As for Our believing ‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﺩﻋﺎﻧﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺍﺳﺘﺠﺒﻨﺎ ﳍﻢ‬١٠
ser-vants, We answer them .‫ﻭﻧﺼﺮﻧﺎﻫﻢ ﻓﻼ ﻏﺎﻟﺐ ﳍﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
when they pray to Us and
support them whenever they
need Us. No power on earth
can vanquish them for they
lean on Us.
11. Yet, when the unbelievers ‫( ﻭﺇﺫﺍ ﺩﻋﺎ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ ﻓﻤﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻣﻦ ﳎﻴﺐ ﺇﻻ‬١١
pray, there is no body to
answer them. Satan, who can .‫ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻣﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺎﺻﺮﻳﻦ‬
never meet their needs hears
them. Sadly enough, they stand
alone and win have no
supporter.

REVELATION (Surat Al ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺘﱰﻳﻞ‬٦٩
Tanzeel)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. We did not reveal The ‫ﻼ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺗﺄﻓﻜﻮﻥ‬


‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺗﱰﻳ ﹰ‬١
True Gospel as you understand
revelation. We actually ‫ﺑﻞ ﻗﻠﻨﺎﻩ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﺳﺪﻳﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﺑﻠﻐﻨﺎﻩ ﺑﻼﻏﹰﺎ ﻣﺒﻴﻨﹰﺎ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻥ‬
expressed it in the Perfect
Word, with a compassionate ‫ﺭﲪﺎﻥ ﻭﺃﻳﺪﻧﺎﻩ ﺑﺮﻭﺡ ﺭﺣﻴﻢ ﻫﺪﻯ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ‬
tongue. Further-more, We .‫ﻟﻠﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
supported Him with a gracious
Spirit for He is the
tenderhearted and the Savior of
mankind.
2. Therefore, We did not
reveal a book, neither a chapter ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻛﺘﺎﺑﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺃﻭ ﺁﻳﺔ ﻭﻻ‬٢
nor even a verse of scripture to ‫ﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﻗﻮ ﹰﻻ ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
you. We definitely did not
inspire any revelation for you ‫ﺃﳍﻤﻨﺎﻩ ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﺷﺒﻪ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻓﺼﺪﻗﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﻓﻀﻠﻠﺘﻢ‬
through anyone from your
midst. We certainly did not .‫ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ‬
inspire such a person. But you
yourselves imagined it to be a
revelation in a book and
believed the man who said so.
Consequently, you lost the
straight and narrow pathway.

3. It is inconceivable that ‫( ﻓﺄﱏ ﻧﱰﻝ ﻗﻮﻻ ﻳﻨﺴﺦ ﻗﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﻳﻌﺎﺭﺽ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ‬٣


We Ourselves would inspire
any scriptures which may
‫ﻭﻳﻀﻞ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﻬﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻭﳛﺮﻑ ﻛﻠﻢ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬
abrogate Our revelation, .‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻳﻌﺠﺰ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺑﻠﻐﻮ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬
contradict Our decree, mislead
Our rightly-led servants, corrupt
the verses of The True Gospel
and overwhelm humanity with
the speech of slanderers!

4. We have conveyed this


True Furqan as an inspiration. ،‫( ﻭﻟﻘﺪ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺣﻴﺎﹰ‬٤
We have also poured it into the
heart of Our chosen man, so he ‫ﻭﺃﻟﻘﻴﻨﺎﻩ ﰱ ﻗﻠﺐ ﺻﻔﻴﻨﺎ ﻟﻴﺒﻠﻐﻪ ﻗﻮﻻ ﻣﻌﺠﺰﹰﺍ‬
would announce it with
articula-tion in the classical
.‫ﺑﻠﺴﺎﻥ ﻋﺮﰉ ﻣﺒﲔ‬
Arabic language.
5. This True Furqan is a ‫( ﻣﺼﺪﻗﹰﺎ ﳌﺎ ﺑﲔ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺻﻨﻮﹰﺍ‬٥
confirmation of what mankind
already had in The True ‫ﻓﺎﺭﻭﻗﹰﺎ ﳏﻘﹰﺎ ﻟﻠﺤﻖ ﻭﻣﺰﻫﻘﹰﺎ ﻟﻠﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﺑﺸﲑﹰﺍ‬
Gospel. It is of similar value, an
authentication of the Truth and . ‫ﻭﻧﺬﻳﺮﺍ ﻟﻠﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
a destroyer of falsehood. It is
also Good News and an
admonition to the unbelievers.

6. For that reason, we ‫( ﻓﺘﺘﻘﺒﻠﻮﻩ ﺑﻘﺒﻮﻝ ﺣﺴﻦ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻓﻬﻮ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ‬٦


implore you to accept it willingly
and believe in it completely. For ‫ﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻭﻃﺮﻳﻖ ﺍﳋﻼﺹ ﻓﻤﻦ ﻳﺄﺧﺬ ﺑﻪ ﻧﺄﺧﺬ‬
The True Furgan is the path to
right guidance and the Way to ‫ﺑﻴﺪﻩ ﻭﻧﺸﺮﺡ ﻟﻪ ﺻﺪﺭﻩ ﻭﻧﻔﺮﺝ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻛﺮﺑﻪ‬
Salvation. The promises to ‫ﻭﻧﻐﻔﺮ ﻟﻪ ﺫﻧﺒﻪ ﻭﻧﺪﺧﻠﻪ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﻧﺮﻩ ﻣﺎ ﱂ ﺗﺮﻩ‬
whomever receives its
message are: .‫ﻋﲔ ﻭﺗﺴﻤﻌﻪ ﺃﺫﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﳌﲔ‬
We shall strengthen his hand,
Refresh his heart,
Release him from his
discouragement, Forgive his
guilt And let him enter Our
Paradise. Moreover, We shall
show him what an eye has
never seen and an ear has
never heard of Our glory.

7. Let it be recognized by ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﺎﺏ ﻣﻠﻜﻮﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺻﺮﺍﻃﻨﺎ‬٧


all mankind forevermore, that ‫ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﻭﺳﺮ ﺍﻷﺳﺮﺍﺭ ﰱ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻟﻮ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ‬
love is Our supreme
characteristic and law. Love is .‫ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
the passport to enter into Our
Kingdom and the straight
pathway to Us. The mystery of
mysteries is hidden in love if
you seriously want to know.
8. You see, We Ourselves ‫( ﻓﻨﺤﻦ ﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻓﻤﻦ ﺃﺣﺒﻨﺎ‬٨
are: ‫ﻭﺃﺣﺐ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﲝﻖ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﺟﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﻨﺎ‬
Love, Truth, Mercy And Peace.
Whosoever loves Us and loves ‫ﻭﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻋﻬﺪ ﳏﺒﺔ ﻭﺭﲪﺔ ﻭﺳﻼﻡ ﻭﺃﺩﺧﻠﻨﺎﻩ ﺟﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ‬
Our servants sincerely,
mercifully and peacefully, We .‫ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
shall make a covenant between
him and Us. It will be a
covenant of love, mercy and
peace. In addition to that We
will welcome him into Our
mansions in the company of the
true believers.

PLAGIARISM (Surat AI
Tahreef)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. O, you who are involved in


plagiarism and false witness, ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﻳـﻒ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘـﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ‬١
yet still claim to be among Our
followers: you have definitely ‫ ﻟﻘـﺪ ﺿﻠﻠﺘـﻢ ﻭﻣـﺎ ﺃﺩﺭﻛﺘـﻢ‬:‫ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬
lost your way. You have not
fathomed the spirit of wisdom in
‫ﻟﻺﳒﻴـﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺭﻭﺣﻨـﺎ ﺃﻭ ﺣﻜﻤﺔ ﻭﻛﻨﺘـﻢ‬
The True Gospel. So, you were ‫ﰱ ﺷـﻚ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻓﺎﺩﻋﻴﺘـﻢ ﺑﺘﺤﺮﻳﻔـﻪ ﻭﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ‬
suspicious of it. Then you
claimed that it was plagiarized ‫ﺑﺎﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻴـﻢ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨـﲔ‬
and denied the Perfect
Religion. Further-more, you
‫ﻭﻣـﺎ ﺳﺄﻟـﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻌﻠﻤـﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻫـﻞ‬
charged Our faithful followers .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻀﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺍﻟﺴﺒﻴﻞ‬
with idolatry. You also did not
bother to seek answers from
those who understood The
True Gospel from among the
People of The Book. Thus, you
went astray from the straight
pathway.

2. We commanded people ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻛﺎﻓﺔ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻻ ﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ‬٢


everywhere that they should
not murder, should not steal ‫ﻳﺴﺮﻗﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺰﻧﻮﺍ ﻭﺃﻥ ﻳﺘﻌﺎﻭﻧﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﱪ‬
and should not commit
.‫ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻘﻮﻯ ﻭﻳﺘﺠﻨﺒﻮﺍ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ‬
immorality. Moreover, We
commanded that they should
encourage each other to
implement righteous and godly
deeds as well as refrain from
vileness and persecution of
others.

‫( ﻭﺍﺳﺘﺠﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻣﺎ‬٣


3. Those who trusted Us,
responded favorably to this .‫ﺑﺪﻟﻮﻫﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻵﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﳏﺮﻓﲔ‬
supe-rior code of ethics. They
neither distorted it nor did they
plagiarize it.

4. You, however, have twisted ‫( ﻭﻟﻜﻨﻜﻢ ﺣﺮﻓﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻢ ﻋﻦ ﻣﻮﺍﺿﻌﻪ‬٤


the message from its original
‫ﻭﻛﺬﺑﺘﻢ ﺑﻘﻮﻟﻨﺎ ﻭﻋﺎﺭﺿﺘﻢ ﺳﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺣﺮﺿﺘﻢ‬
meaning. You have accused
Our divine proclamation with ‫ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﺭﺗﻜﺎﺏ ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻭﺣﻠﻠﺘﻢ ﻣﺎ‬
decep-tion. You have opposed
Our revelation and you have ‫ﺣﺮﻣﻨﺎ ﻭﺣﺮﻣﺘﻢ ﻣﺎ ﺣﻠﻠﻨﺎ ﺃﻻ ﺛﺒﺖ ﺃﻳﺪﻯ‬
urged your adherents to commit
vileness and atrocities in the ‫ﺍﶈﺮﻓﻴـﻦ ﻭﺳـﺎﺀ ﻣـﺎﻛﺎﻧـﻮﺍ ﳛﻠﻠـﻮﻥ‬
earth. You have also legalized
what We had disapproved and .‫ﻭﳛﺮﻣﻮﻥ‬
have forbidden what We have
sanctioned. May the hands of
plagiarizers be
restrained. Despicable are the
activities which they have
sanctioned or forbidden.

5. Disastrous retribution is ‫( ﻓﻮﻳﻞ ﻟﻠﻤﺤﺮﻓﲔ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻫﻢ ﻟﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﺒﺪﻟﻮﻥ‬٥


awaiting those who take credit .‫ﻭﻟﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻣﻌﺎﺭﺿﻮﻥ‬
for changing Our Words and
objecting to Our Divine
Revelation.

6. Heaven and earth shall


pass away. But not even a ‫( ﺗﺰﻭﻝ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﻮﺍﺕ ﻭﺍﻷﺭﺿﻮﻥ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺰﻭﻝ‬٦
letter or a dot from the
Decalogue which is ‫ﺣﺮﻑ ﺃﻭ ﻧﻘﻄﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻳﻌﺔ ﺍﳊﻘﺔ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ‬
summarized within The True .‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﳍﺎ ﳊﺎﻓﻈﻮﻥ‬
Gospel and The True Furqan
will ever pass away. We
Our-selves guarantee their
protection m every way.

7. Our authentic Revelation


identified for you the difference ‫( ﻭﺣﺎﻟﺖ ﺳﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺑﲔ ﻣﺘﺎﻉ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ‬٧
between the earthly and the ‫ﻓﺘﺬﺭﻋﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻹﻓﻚ ﻭﺍﻹﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﻳﻒ‬
heavenly treasures. Yet, you
shielded yourselves from that ‫ﻓﻨﺴﺨﺘﻢ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﱘ ﺑﺎﻟﺘﺤﻠﻴﻞ ﻭﺍﻹﳝﺎﻥ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬
Truth by lying, cheating and
distorting it. As a matter of fact, ‫ﻭﺃﲣﻤﺘﻢ ﻏﺮﺍﺋﺰﻛﻢ ﻭﺃﺷﺒﻌﺘﻢ ﺷﻬﻮﺍﺗﻜﻢ‬
you eliminated the prohibited ‫ﻭﺍﻗﺘﺮﻓﺘـﻢ ﻣﺎ ﺳﻮﻟـﺖ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺃﻧﻔﺴـﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
endeavors by legalizing them. You
replaced faith with faithless-ness. ‫ﺍﻹﰒ ﻭﻣـﺎ ﺯﻳﻦ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄـﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺳﻮﺀ‬
You even supercharged your .‫ﻓﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺍﳌﻬﲔ‬
sensual desires and over-stuffed
your lusts of the flesh. You
performed any depraved thing
which your minds
fantasized. Whatever else
Satan glamorized for you, from
your wicked lifestyle of shame,
you also carried out joyfully.

8. It is obvious that those who


are busily seeking after what ‫( ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﺃﺻﺤﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﰱ ﺩﻧﻴﺎﻫﻢ ﺳﺎﺩﺭﻭﻥ‬٨
this passing world offers will ‫ﻭﳉﻬﻨﻢ ﻭﺍﺭﺛﻮﻥ ﻭﺃﺻﺤﺎﺏ ﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﰱ ﻣﺮﺿﺎﺗﻨﺎ‬
end up as heirs of the Abyss.
But those who are busily .‫ﻳﺘﻔﻜﺮﻭﻥ ﻭﺑﻨﻴﻞ ﻣﻠﻜﻮﺗﻨﺎ ﻳﺴﺘﺒﺸﺮﻭﻥ‬
seeking after the hereafter,
through fulfilling Our will, shall
certainly reach Our Kingdom.
After all, is it not their ultimate
goal?

THE DILIGENT (Surat AI' ‫ ( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻣﻠﲔ‬٧١
Amileen)

In the Name of the Father, the


Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
and only True God
‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
1. There is no one like the ‫( ﻭﻻ ﺳﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﻋﺪﻭﻥ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻏﲑ‬١
backslidden believers except
those who continue to harm ‫ﺃﻭﱃ ﺍﻟﻀﺮﺭ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺎﻣﻠﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻴﻠـﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﻣﻮﺍﳍـﻢ‬
others. As for those who are
active in Our cause through ‫ﻭﻧﻔﻮﺳﻬﻢ ﻭﻓﻀﻠﻨﺎ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻣﻠﲔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﻋﺪﻳﻦ‬
their very souls and their .‫ﺃﺟﺮﹰﺍ ﻋﻈﻴﻤﹰﺎ‬
financial means, We have
preferred them over the
backslidden believers. We will
also recompense them with the
greatest reward, enjoying Our
Presence forever.

2. As for those who have ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺍﺭﺗﺪﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﺎ‬٢


repented from infidelity, ‫ﻭﲤﺴﻜﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺻﺪﻗﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗـﺎﻥ‬
believed in Us, held on to The
True Gospel and accepted The ‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧـﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ ﻳﺴﺒﺤﻮﻥ‬
True Furqan, they are
numbered among Our righteous ‫ﲝﻤﺪﻧﺎ ﻭﻳﻨﻌﻤﻮﻥ ﲜﻨـﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻄﻬـﺮ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ‬
servants. They will also be .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﺍﳌﻘﻴﻢ‬
singing our praises and
rejoicing in the gardens of
purity, love and peace forever.

3. O, you who have believed


from among Our servants: do ‫ ﺃﺗﺮﻳﺪﻭﻥ ﺍﻥ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٣
you wish to rightly guide those
whom Satan has misguided? ‫ﻬﺗﺪﻭﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺿﻠﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻓﻠﻦ ﲡﺪﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺫﻟﻚ‬
You will not find an easy way to ‫ﺳﺒﻴﻼ ﻭﻟﻦ ﺗﻐﲑﻭﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻬﺑﻢ ﺣﱴ ﻳﻐﲑﻭ ﻣﺎ‬
accomplish your goal. For you
will not transform what is within ‫ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺣﻘﺪ ﻭﳓﻦ ﺃﻋﻠﻢ ﲟﺎ ﲣﻔﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﻮﺱ‬
them until they themselves
decide to change the bitterness .‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺴﺮﻭﻥ‬
that is within them. We are fully
aware of what hearts cover up
and what they keep in secret.
4. Demonstrate compassion ‫( ﻓﺮﻗﻨﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ ﻭﻟﻴﻨﻮﺍ‬٤
toward the infidels from among
Our misled servants. Show ‫ﳍﻢ ﻓﻠﻮ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺃﻓﻈﺎﻇﹰﺎ ﻏﻼﻅ ﺍﻟﻘﻠﻮﺏ ﻻ ﻧﻔﻀﻮﺍ‬
them kindness. Because if you ‫ﻣﻦ ﺣﻮﻟﻜﻢ ﻓﺎﻋﻔﻮﺍ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮﻭﺍ ﳍﻢ ﻭﺇﻥ‬
display rude manners and
uncompassion-ate hearts, they ‫ﻧﻨﺼﺮﻛﻢ ﻓﻼ ﻏﺎﻟﺐ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻭﺇﻥ ﺃﻋﺮﺿﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ‬
will surely depart from you.
Therefore, pardon them and .‫ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺧﺬﻟﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺎﺻﺮﻳﻦ‬
seek God's forgiveness for
them. If We support you no one
will be able to conquer you.
However, if the infidels turn
away from the Truth, they will
definitely be vanquished and
will never find anyone to
support them.

5. O, you who have believed: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻻ ﺗﺘﺪﺑﺮﻭﺍ ﻗﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ‬٥
take not the counterfeit book as .‫ﻭﺍﻧﺒﺬﻭﻩ ﻭﺍﲣﺬﻭﻩ ﻣﻬﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
Our revelation, rather despise it
and abandon it completely.

6. If such scriptures were ‫( ﻓﻠﻮ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﻨﺪﻧﺎ ﳌﺎ ﻭﺟﺪﰎ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻧﺴﺨﹰﺎ ﺃﻭ‬٦
truly inspired by Us, you would
certainly discover no plagiarism .‫ﺇﺧﺘﻼﻓﹰﺎ ﻛﺒﲑﹰﺍ‬
or any significant difference
between it and The True
Revelation.
7. The hypocrites are craving ‫( ﻭﺩ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺎﻕ ﻟﻮ ﺗﻜﻔﺮﻭﻥ ﻛﻤﺎ ﻛﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬٧
to see you blaspheme as they
do, so that you will be on the ‫ ﻛﻼ ﻻ ﻳﺘﺴﺎﻭﻭﻥ ﺣﱴ ﻳﺘﻮﺑﻮﺍ‬. ‫ﻓﺘﻜﻮﻧﻮﻥ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ‬
same inferior spiritual level as . ‫ﻭﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺴﻨﺘﻨﺎ ﻳﻘﻴﻨﹰﺎ‬
the pagans. Never, ever will
they be on the same footing
with you until they are willing to
repent and trust Our Creed
absolutely.

8. Satan has enticed them by ‫ ( ﻓﻘﺪ ﺧﺪﻋﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺇﺫ ﺩﻋﺎﻫﻢ ﺇﱃ‬٨


calling them to enunciate ‫ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ ﺍﳊﺴﻦ ﺑﺄﻟﺴﻨﺘﻬﻢ ﻭﺩﻓﻌﻬﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻗﺘﺮﺍﻑ‬
beauti-ful words with their
tongues. Yet, he prodded them ‫ﺍﻟﺸﺮ ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ ﻭﺃﺭﺟﻠﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻐﲎ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﻝ ﻋﻦ‬
to commit wickedness with their
hands and feet. Mere words .‫ﺍﻟﻔﻌﻞ ﺷﻴﺌﹰﺎ ﻛﻔﺎﻛﻢ ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ ﻛﻔﺮﹰﺍ ﻭﻓﺠﻮﺭﹰﺍ‬
can never be an acceptable
substitute for beautiful works.
Have they not done
enough of blasphemy and
debauchery?

9. Satan made fallacious


promises to the hypocrites. ‫( ﻭﻭﺩﻋﻬﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻏﺮﻭﺭﹰﺍ ﻓﻤﻦ ﺻﺪﻕ‬٩
Every-one, who trusted in such ‫ﻭﺿﻞ ﻓﻤﺄﻭﺍﻫﻢ ﺟﻬﻨﻢ ﻓﻼ ﳚﺪﻭﻥ ﻋﻨﻬـﺎ‬
promi-ses, went astray. Their
eternal residence became Hell .‫ﳏﻴﺼﹰﺎ‬
itself, where they will bum night
and day.
10. Of course, anyone who
sought to do Our will can never ‫( ﻭﻟﻴﺲ ﻣﻦ ﺃﺗﺒﻊ ﺭﺿﻮﺍﻧﻨﺎ ﻛﻤﻦ ﺑﺎﺀ‬١٠
be equated with those who . ‫ﺑﺴﺨﻂ ﻭﻏﻀﺐ ﻓﻼ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ‬
sought to disobey it. The latter
will be punished by Our wrath
and outrage.

11. Would the unclothed ever


dismiss the illusion of having ‫( ﻭﺃﱏ ﻟﻠﻌﺮﺍﻩ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻨﺴﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻭﻋﺪﻭﺍ ﺑﻪ ﻣﻦ‬١١
green finery? They do not
desire the straight path for their ‫ﺛﻴﺎﺏ ﺧﻀﺮ ﻓﻬﻢ ﻻ ﻳﻄﻴﻘﻮﻥ ﻟﻠﺼﺮﺍﻁ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
covering, nor do they seek from .‫ﻟﻔﺤﹰﺎ ﻭﻻ ﻳﺒﻐﻮﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻟﺪﻧﻨﺎ ﻟﺒﻮﺳﹰﺎ ﺳﺘﲑﹰﺍ‬
Us the protective Robe of
Righteousness.

12. Would the thirsty and


hungry turn away from the
rivers of wine, milk and honey, ‫( ﻭﺃﱏ ﻟﻠﺠﻴﺎﻉ ﺍﻟﻌﻄﺎﺵ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺼﺪﺭﻭﺍ ﻋﻦ‬١٢
the meat of birds or whatever
their appetites lust after? Alas, ‫ﺃﻬﻧﺮ ﺍﳋﻤﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻠﱭ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺴﻞ ﻭﻋﻦ ﳊﻢ ﺍﻟﻄﲑ ﻭﻣﺎ‬
they have exchanged Our .‫ﻼ‬
‫ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺍﺷﺘﺮﻭﺍ ﲜﻨﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﲦﻨﹰﺎ ﻗﻠﻴ ﹰ‬. ‫ﻳﺸﺘﻬﻮﻥ‬
Mansions of Glory for a pitiful
price for which they will forever
be very sorry.

13. Would the sexually


abusive husbands leave their ‫( ﻭﺃﱏ ﻟﻠﻤﺴﺎﻓﺤﲔ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻄﻠﻘﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ‬١٣
numerous wives on earth and
abandon their fantasies with ‫ﻭﺍﳊﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﻌﲔ ﻭﺍﻟﻮﻟﺪﺍﻥ ﻭﻬﻧﻢ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﻭﻳﻌﺮﺟﻮﺍ‬
girls endowed with gorgeous ‫ﺇﱃ ﺃﻋﺘﺎﺏ ﺍﻟﻄﻬﺮ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ؟‬
breasts and captivating eyes,
the fulfill-ment of sensual
instincts, in order to dedicate
themselves to purity, love and
peace?

Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, people of paganism and :‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻄﻐﻴﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬١


oppression who still consider
yourselves among Our ‫ﻻ ﺗﻐﻠﻮﺍ ﰱ ﺩﻳﻨﻜﻢ ﻏﲑ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺘﻤﺎﺩﻭﺍ ﰱ‬
followers: do not boast about
your man-made religion. Tell .‫ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ‬
only the truth. Moreover, do not
go over the threshold of no
return with your apostasy and
rebelliousness.

‫( ﻭﺍﺷﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﺑﻌﲔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﺣﻜﻤﻮﺍ ﺑﻨﻮﺭ ﺍﻟﻌﺪﻝ‬٢


2. We demand that you testify
of the whole truth before a . ‫ﻭﺍﺳﻠﻜﻮﺍ ﺻﺮﺍﻃﻨﺎ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ‬
world court of justice. Judge
with the illumination of honesty.
Pursue Our straight path.

3.Consider the
compassionate believers and ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﻈﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﺮﲪﺎﺀ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻭﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻠﺔ‬٣
the murderous infidels. There is
no comparison between the two .‫ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ ﻓﺒﺄﻯ ﺁﻻﺋﻨﺎ ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ؟‬
groups. There-fore, what
wonder from among
Our marvels do you deny?
4. Consider the people of ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﻈﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻻﺑﺮﺍﺭ ﺍﻷﻃﻬﺎﺭ ﻭﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﺰﻧﺎﺓ‬٤
integrity and those of depravity.
There is no comparison ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺠﺎﺭ ﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ ﻓﺒﺄﻯ ﺁﻻﺋﻨﺎ ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ؟‬
between the two groups.
Therefore, what wonder from
among Our marvels do you
deny?

5. Consider the charitably ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﻈﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻮﺩﻋﺎﺀ ﺍﶈﺴﻨﲔ ﻭﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻐﺰﺍﺓ‬٥


meek people and the ‫ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ ﻓﺒﺄﻯ ﺁﻻﺋﻨﺎ ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ؟‬
marauding oppressors. There is
no compari-son between the
two groups. Therefore, what
wonder from among Our
marvels do you deny?

6. Consider the lovingly ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﻈﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺫﻭﻯ ﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻐﻔﺮﺍﻥ ﻭﺇﱃ‬٦


forgiving people and the ‫ﺫﻭﻯ ﺍﻟﻘﺘﻞ ﻭﺍﻻﻧﺘﻘﺎﻡ ﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻭﻥ ﻓﺒﺄﻯ ﺁﻻﺋﻨﺎ‬
vengeful murderers. There is no
compari-son between the two ‫ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ؟‬
groups. Therefore, what wonder
from among Our marvels do
you deny?

7. Consider those who


pardon others as well as control ‫( ﻭﺍﻧﻈﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻓﲔ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﺎﻇﻤﲔ‬٧
their anger and those who hold
a grudge and are vengeful. ‫ﺍﻟﻐﻴﻆ ﻭﺇﱃ ﺍﳊﺎﻗﺪﻳﻦ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭ ﺍﳌﻨﺘﻘﻤﲔ ﻻ‬
There is no comparison
between the two groups. ‫ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻥ ﻓﺒﺄﻯ ﺁﻻﺋﻨﺎ ﺗﻜﺬﺑﻮﻥ ؟‬
Therefore, what wonder from

THE ARGUMENT (Surat Al
Mahajat)

‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬


In the Name of the Father, the
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True God

1. O, you who have believed ‫ ﻭﺩﺕ ﻃﺎﺋﻔﺔ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١
from among Our followers: a
company of the pagans desires ‫ﻣﻦ ﺃﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﻟﻮ ﻳﻀﻠﻮﻧﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﻀﻠﻮﻥ ﺇﻻ‬
to mislead you. They are . ‫ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
unaware that the ones whom
they mislead are really
themselves.

2. O, rebellious people who are ‫ ﱂ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٢


among Our lost servants: if you
state that you are witnessing for ‫ﺗﻜﻔﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺗﺸﻬﺪﻭﻥ ﻭﺗﻠﺒﺴﻮﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
Us then why do you deny Our .‫ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻭﺗﻜﺘﻤﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺒﻴﻨﺎﺕ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
signs? Additionally, you dress
up Our truth with a robe of
falsehood and cover up the
obvious facts, knowingly!

3. We, therefore, have


destroyed falsehood with Our ‫( ﻭﻗﺬﻓﻨﺎ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ ﻓﺪﻣﻐﻪ ﻓﺈﺫﺍ ﻫﻮ‬٣
Truth. Behold falsehood is ‫ﺯﺍﻫﻖ ﻣﺪﺣﻮﺭ‬
dead.
4. You argue with Our trusting ‫( ﻭﲢﺎﺟﻮﻥ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺑﺄﻥ ﺍﳊﻮﺍﺭﻳﲔ‬٤
servants that Our disciples
were actually from your ‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺎﺗﻜﻢ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺟﺎﺀﺕ ﻣﻠﺘﻜﻢ ﺇﻻ ﻣﻦ‬
particular sect. In fact, nothing ‫ﺑﻌﺪ ﻣﺎ ﺟﺎﺀﻭﺍ ﺑﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻬﻢ ﺍﶈﻘﻮﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬
could be any further from the
Truth because your sect, . ‫ﺍﳌﺒﻄﻠﻮﻥ‬
chronologically, emerg-ed long
after the disciples brought the
Religion of Truth. In other
words, they are the ones who
are right and you are the ones
who are wrong.

5. So far you have argued ‫( ﻫﺎ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺣﺎﺟﺠﺘﻢ ﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻓﺄﱏ‬٥
about matters which are known
to you and still lost the ‫ ﻭﳓﻦ ﻧﻌﻠﻢ‬.‫ﲢﺎﺟﻮﻥ ﻓﻴﻤﺎ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ‬
argument. How then are you .‫ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ ﺗﻌﻠﻤﻮﻥ‬
capable of arguing about
matters which are unknown to
you and hope to win? We are
the All-Knowing; you are the
unenlightened.

6. O, people who cheat and


speak untruths, yet still number : ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻹﻓﻚ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﻔﺎﻕ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﻟﲔ‬٦
yourselves among Our loyal
populace: why don't you agree ‫ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺇﱃ ﻛﻠﻤﺔ ﺳﻮﺍﺀ ﺑﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺑﲔ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬
with Our believing servants on
these proclamations: ‫ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﺃﻻ ﺗﺘﺒﻌﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻭﻻ ﺗﻜﻔﺮﻭﺍ‬
Do not tread on Satan's ‫ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺑﺴﻨﺔ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻭﻻ‬
highway of lawlessness.
Do not blaspheme Our Word, ‫ﺗﺮﺗﻜﺒﻮﺍ ﻓﺎﻋﻤﻠﻮﺍ ﺇﳕﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
Messiah Jesus, by rejecting
.‫ﺍﻟﺒﻼﻍ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
Him.
Do not blaspheme the Creed of
Truth by ignoring it.
Do not blaspheme true love by
not practicing it.
Do not blaspheme peace by
fighting against it.
Do not commit atrocities by
rejecting reconciliation.
If you undertake these
respons-ibilities, let it be known
to the world.

7. Therefore, whosoever is ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺍﻫﺘﺪﻯ ﻓﺈﳕﺎ ﻳﻬﺘﺪﻯ ﻟﻨﻔﺴﻪ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺿﻞ‬٧


rightly-guided is in fact doing ‫ﻓﺈﳕﺎ ﻳﻀﻞ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﺎ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺰﺭ ﻭﺍﺯﺭﺓ ﻭﺯﺭ ﺃﺧﺮﻯ‬
good for his own soul. But
whosoever is misled is in fact ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﻨﺎ ﻣﻌﺬﺑﲔ ﺣﱴ ﻧﺒﻌﺚ ﺭﺳﻮ ﹰﻻ ﺻﺪﻭﻗﹰﺎ ﻣﻦ‬
doing evil to his own soul. No
soul will ever be held . ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬
responsible for the guilt of
another at the Day of
Judgment. We are not
interest-ed in tormenting people
in Hell, but in saving them from
it and welcoming them into Our
Presence in Heaven. (That is
pre-cisely why We sent the
Righteous Messenger, Jesus
the Messiah.)
8. Consequently, We do not ‫( ﻭﻣﺎ ﻧﺮﺳﻞ ﺍﳌﺮﺳﻠﲔ ﺇﻻ ﻣﺒﺸﺮﻳﻦ ﻭﻣﻨﺬﺭﻳﻦ‬٨
send messengers except as
evangelists and prophets. We ‫ﻭﻣﺎ ﺃﺭﺳﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﻳﺪﻳﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻳﻮﻡ‬
certainly did not send ‫ﻼ ﻭﳚﺎﺩﳍﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺒﺎﻃﻞ‬
‫ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻭﻳﻘﺘﻠﻬﻢ ﺗﻘﺘﻴ ﹰ‬
messengers as judges of
eternal consequences or to kill .‫ﻟﻴﺪﺣﺾ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺇﻧﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻔﻠﺢ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
sinners now, instead of on the
Day of Judgment. Neither did
We send such a man to debate
the Truth with illogical
arguments in order to refute it.
Let it be established here and
now that in the end oppressors
will never win.

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. Moses declared to his


nation, "You are not to kill the ‫ "ﻻ ﺗﻘﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻣﻮﺳﻰ ﻟﻘﻮﻣﻪ‬١
soul of any human because
God has intensely forbidden

2. Moreover, Jesus ‫ " ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﺁﺫﻯ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ‬٢
proclaim-ed, "O, people ‫ﺃﺣﺪﹰﺍ ﻭﻟﻮ ﺑﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺧﺒﻴﺜﺔ ﺍﺳﺘﺤﻖ ﻋﺬﺍﺏ‬
everywhere, who-soever hurts

an abusive word, deserves the
torments of the fiery pit. "

3. Then you exclaimed, "Kill


them wherever you find them.
When you confront your ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ " ﻭﺍﻗﺘﻠﻮﻫـﻢ ﺣﻴﺜﻤـﺎ ﻭﺟﺪﲤﻮﻫﻢ‬٣

people, do not steal," even
though people did that in the ‫" ﻳﺎ ﻗﻮﻡ ﻻ ﺗﺴﺮﻗﻮﺍ " ﻓﻘﺪ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻣﻮﺳﻰ‬٤
past.
‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﺴﺮﻗﻮﻥ‬

5. Moreover, Jesus
announc-ed, "If anyone owns
two robes, let him give one
away to him who is needy and ‫" ﻣﻦ ﻟﻮ ﺛﻮﺑﺎﻥ ﻓﻠﻴﻌﻂ ﺃﺣﺪﳘﺎ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ‬٥
do not return a beggar empty-
handed. " ."‫ﻭﻻ ﺗﺮﺩﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﺋﻠﲔ‬
6. Then you exclaimed, "Eat ‫" ﻛﻠﻮﺍ ﳑﺎ ﻏﻨﺘﻢ ﺣﻼ ﹰﻻ ﻃﻴﺒﹰﺎ ﻭﳑﺎ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٦
from whatever you gained in ‫ﺗﺴﻠﺒﻮﻥ " ﻓﺮﺟﻌﺘﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺰﻭ ﻭﺍﻟﺴﻠﺐ‬
fighting and in robbing, for it is
sanctified unto you." By such .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻭﺍﻥ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
activities you went backwards
into the uncivilized practice of
marauding, stealing and
exploitat-ion. You certainly are
the oppres-sors of your
fellowman.

7. Moses declared, "O, my ‫" ﻳﺎ ﻗﻮﻡ ﻻ ﺗﻘﺮﺑﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ" ﻓﻘﺪ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻣﻮﺳﻰ‬٧
people, do not practice sexual
immorality," although people . ‫ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﺴﺎﻓﺤﲔ‬
practiced sexual immorality in
the past.

8. However, Jesus warned,


"Whosoever adds another ‫" ﻣﻦ ﺃﺷﺮﻙ ﺑﺰﻭﺟﻪ ﺃﺧﺮﻯ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ‬٨
woman. to his first and only
wife, has committed adultery. ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ‬. ‫ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺗﺰﻭﺝ ﻣﻦ ﻣﻄﻠﻘﺔ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ‬
Addition-ally, whosoever ‫ﻧﻈﺮ ﻹﻣﺮﺃﻩ ﺑﻌﲔ ﺍﻟﺸﻬﻮﺓ ﻓﻘﺪ ﺯﱏ ﻬﺑﺎ ﰱ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ‬
marries a divorcee, who was
guilty of an adulterous .‫ﺍﻟﺴﻘﻴﻢ‬
relationship, commits adultery
too. And whosoever looks upon
a woman, with a lustful eye, has
committed adultery with her in
his sinful heart. "
9. Then you exclaimed, ‫ ﻭﺍﻧﻜﺤﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﻃﺎﺏ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬٩
"Marry whosoever looks good ." ‫ﻣﺜﲎ ﻭﺛﻼﺙ ﻭﺭﺑﺎﻉ ﺃﻭ ﻣﺎ ﻣﻠﻜﺖ ﺃﳝﺎﻧﻜﻢ‬
in your eyes from among
women, two, three or even four. ‫ﻓﺮﺟﻌﺘﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺍﺋﺰ ﻭﳒﺲ ﺍﻟﺰﱏ‬
That is in addition to the
females whom you own as . ‫ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺠﻮﺭ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ ﺗﻄﻬﺮﻭﻥ‬
slaves." By such practice you
have reverted to the sensual
desires of the uncivilized and
the vulgarity of immorality and
promiscuity. No cleansing is
available to sinners, unless you
repent.

10. Moses declared, "O, my


people, love your neighbor as
yourselves," although people ‫" ﻳﺎ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺃﺣﺒﻮﺍ ﺯﻭﻳﻜﻢ‬: ‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻣﻮﺳﻰ‬١٠
used to despise them in the .‫ﻛﻨﻔﻮﺳﻜﻢ " ﻓﻘﺪ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﺒﻐﻀﲔ‬

11. However, Jesus ‫" ﺍﺣﺒﻮﺍ ﺃﻋﺪﺍﺀﻛﻢ ﻭﺑﺎﺭﻛﻮﺍ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻋﻴﺴﻰ‬١١


proclaim-ed, "Love your
enemies. Bless those who ."‫ﻻ ﻋﻨﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﺣﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﻟﻠﻤﺴﻴﺌﲔ‬

them who abuse you. "
12. Then you exclaimed, ‫" ﻭﻻ ﺗﺘﺨﺬﻭﺍ ﺍﻟﻴﻬﻮﺩ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺼﺎﺭﻯ‬:‫( ﻭﻗﻠﺘﻢ‬١٢
"Make no friends from among
the Christians and Jews. There ‫ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀ ﻓﺒﻴﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﻋﺪﺍﻭﺓ ﻭﺑﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﻭﻫﻢ‬

infidels and polytheists who ‫ﻭﺿﺎﻟﻮﻥ " ﻓﺮﺟﻌﺘﻢ ﺇﱃ ﺟﺎﻫﻠﻴﺔ ﺍﳊﻘﺪ‬

are really lost." By these .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻐﻀﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﻷﻧﺘﻘﺎﻡ ﻓﺄﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﻷﺭﺫﻟﻮﻥ‬
attitudes you have reverted
back to the uncivilized practices
of bitterness, hatred and
vengeance. By such deeds you
have turned yourselves into a
company of untouchables by
God, and rejected misfits by
man.

13. O, lost people of false ‫ ﻓﻠﻴﺴﻤﻊ ﻣﻦ ﻟﻪ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ‬١٣


accusation: let him who has
ears ‫ ﻭﻟﻴﺸﻬﺪ ﻣﻦ ﻟﻪ ﻋﻴﻨﺎﻥ‬. ‫ﺃﺫﻧﺎﻥ ﺗﺴﻤﻌﺎﻥ‬

eyes to see, testify of Our
righteousness. Let him who has . ‫ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻭﺍﳌﻴﺰﺍﻥ‬
a heart of wisdom judge with
equity and impartiality.

14. Since you yourselves are


responsible for these senses, ‫( ﻓﺈﻥ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﻊ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﺼﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﺆﺍﺩ ﻛﻞ ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ‬١٤
be very vigilant of what you
hear, see, think and speak. .‫ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻣﺴﺆﻭﻟﲔ‬
15. Therefore, if you are truly ‫( ﻓﻼ ﺗﻠﻮﻣﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﺑﻞ ﻟﻮﻣﻮﺍ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ‬١٥
an honorable people, you
would not say, "The Devil made .‫ﺇﻥ ﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻘﺴﻄﲔ‬

something wrong.

Word. Why then did you not
harken to Our Word; but
followed the gibberish of the

granted Jesus miraculous .‫ﺗﺘﺒﻴﻨﻮﻫﺎ ﻭﻛﻔﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ‬

illumination
from these signs; but
repudiated the Perfect Faith?

4. Moreover, you asserted ‫( ﻭﺷﻬﺪﰎ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺃﻳﺪﻧﺎﻩ ﺑﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻟﻘﺪﺱ ﻭﻋﻠﻤﻨﺎﻩ‬٤


that We supported Him with the ‫ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻭﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ ﻓﻤﺎ ﺍﺳﺘﻨﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻭﻻ‬
Holy Spirit as well as taught
Him The Book and wisdom. . ‫ﻗﺒﺴﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻧﻮﺭ ﺍﳊﻜﻤﺔ ﻗﺒﺴﹰﺎ‬
Why then did you not seek
enlightenment through The
Book, neither apprehend even
a spark from the brilliant
intelligence We display in it.

5 . You also accepted as fact


that We were the One who ‫( ﻭﺁﻣﻨﺘﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺭﲪﺔ‬٥
inspired The True Gospel as a

Why then did you not beseech
Our loving kindness and search
for Our guidance? Instead you
turned yourselves into Satan's
advocates.
6. Amazingly enough, when ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻣﻦ ﺇﺫﺍ ﲰﻌﻮﺍ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎ ﻣﻦ‬٦
some people get the
opportunity to listen to what We ‫ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺗﺮﻯ ﺃﻋﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﺗﻔﻴﺾ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺪﻣﻊ ﳑﺎ‬

fact that pagans are the only
people who walk in darkness.
12. Ignorantly, you branded ‫ﻼ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﺑﺄﲰﺎﺀ ﻗﺒﺤﻰ‬
‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ﺟﻬ ﹰ‬١٢
Us with ugly names which .‫ﺍﺳﺘﺤﺴﻨﺘﻢ ﻗﺒﺤﻬﺎ ﻓﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻘﺒﻮﺣﲔ‬
somehow captivated you with
their lackluster sounds. In time
you yourselves turned into
unlov-able people.

13. You branded Us with "The ‫( ﻓﻮﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳉﺒﺎﺭ ( ﻭﲡﱪﰎ ﻋﻠﻰ‬١٣


Tyrant." Thus, you treated Our
servants tyrannically and ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﺃﺭﻫﻘﺘﻢ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻬﻢ ﺫﻟﺔ ﻭﻛﻨﺘﻢ ﺟﺒﺎﺭﺓ‬
caused their faces to ooze with .‫ﻋﻨﺪﹰﺍ ﻇﺎﳌﲔ‬
misery. Therefore, you turned
into stubborn and arrogant
tyrants.

14.You branded Us with "The ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳌﺘﻜﱪ ( ﻭﺗﻜﱪﰎ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬١٤


Proud. " Thus, you became
haughty because of infidelity .‫ﻭﺍﻟﻌﺼﻴﺎﻥ ﻓﻜﻨﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺴﺘﻜﱪﻳﻦ‬
and rebellion. Therefore, you
were numbered among the
company of the conceited.

15. You branded Us with "The


Enforcer." Thus, you enforced ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﻟﻘﻬﺎﺭ ( ﻭﻗﻬﺮﰎ ﻓﻮﻕ‬١٥
persecution over Our followers,
and attempted to shut the gates ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺍﺩﻧﺎ ﻇﻠﻤﹰﺎ ﻭﺃﻭﺟﻔﺘﻢ ﰱ ﻭﺟﻮﻫﻬﻢ ﺃﺑﻮﺍﺏ‬
of Heaven in their faces. . ‫ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ‬
16. You branded Us with "The ‫ ( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳋﺎﻓﺾ ( ﻭﺧﻔﻀﺘﻢ‬١٦
Disgraceful." Thus, you ‫ﺟﻨﺎﺡ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺫ ﹰﻻ ﻭﻇﻠﻤﹰﺎ ﻓﺎﳔﻔﻀﺘﻢ ﰱ ﻗﺮﺍﺭ‬
disgrac-ed the noble status of
Our worshipers with unjustified .‫ﺳﺤﻴﻖ‬
shame and oppression.
Therefore you will be brought
low into a bottomless terminal
point.

17. You branded Us with "The ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳌﺬﻝ ( ﻭﺃﺫﻟﻠﺘﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬١٧


Demeanor." Thus, you
demeaned Our servants and ‫ﻭﺟﻌﻠﺘﻢ ﺃﻋﺰﻬﺗﻢ ﺃﺫﻟﺔ ﻣﺎ ﳍﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﻭﱃ ﻭﻻ‬
embarrassed their honorable
leaders. None is left to .‫ﻧﺼﲑ‬
encourage or rescue them
except Us.

18. You branded Us with "The ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳌﻤﻴﺖ ( ﻭﺃﻣﺘﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﻒ‬١٨


One Who takes away life."
Thus, you took away the lives ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ ﺃﻭ ﻳﺆﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺸﺮﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻜﻔﺮ‬
of Our worshipers by the edge
of the sword because they .‫ﻓﺎﺳﺘﺸﻬﺪﻭﺍ ﺑﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﲔ‬
refused to believe in the creed
of ungodli-ness. Therefore,
when they continued to believe
in the Perfect Religion, they
were martyred by you!
19 . You branded Us with ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳌﺆﺧﺮ ( ﻭﺃﺧﺮﰎ ﺑﺎﳉﻬﻞ‬١٩
"The Restrainer." Thus, you
restrained Our people from .‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﻘﺪﻣﲔ‬
progress by refusing to educate
them. Before you appeared on
the horizon of history, these
very people were among the
most advanced.

‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳌﻨﺘﻘﻢ ( ﻭﺍﻧﺘﻘﻤﺘﻢ ﻣﻦ‬٢٠


20. You branded Us with "The
Avenger." Thus, you took ‫ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﻭﻗﺪ ﻭﺻﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻻ ﺗﻨﺘﻘﻤﻮﺍ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻻ ﳓﺐ‬
venge-ance upon Our people.
This you promulgated, despite .‫ﺍﳌﻌﺘﺪﻳﻦ‬
the fact that We had
commanded, "Do not avenge
yourselves for We do not love
the avengers."

21. You branded Us with "the


Afflictor." Thus, you afflicted ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﻟﻀﺎﺭ ( ﻭﺃﺿﺮﺭﰎ ﺑﻌﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢١
Our people. The afflictors
cannot be rightly compared to .‫ﻭﻻ ﻳﺴﺘﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﻀﺎﺭﻭﻥ ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺎﻓﻌﻮﻥ‬
the benefactors.

22. You branded Us with "the


Prohibitionist." Thus, you ‫( ﻭﻭﺻﻤﺘﻤﻮﻧﺎ ) ﺑﺎﳌﺎﻧﻊ ( ﻭﻣﻨﻌﺘﻢ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢٢
prohibited Our people from
getting Our blessings. .‫ﺍﳋﲑ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻔﻌﻞ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻣﺎﻧﻊ ﻣﻌﺘﺪ ﺃﺛﻴﻢ‬
Therefore, whosoever
participates in such behavioral
problems is a prohibitionist of
Our blessing and a wicked
oppressor.
23. O, people who have lost ‫ ﺇﻥ ﺗﻠﻚ ﺇﻻ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻀﻼﻝ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ‬٢٣
your way and still dwell among
Our servants today: the whole ‫ﺧﺪﻋﺔ ﺩﻋﺎ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ ﻬﺑﺎ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ ﺑﺄﲰﺎﺀ ﺣﺴﲎ‬
idea of the excellent names is a
device of Satan. These
‫ﺇﻓﻜﹰﺎ ﻭﺍﻓﺘﺮﺍﺀ ﻓﺄﺿﻠﻜﻢ ﺑﺄﲰﻨﺎ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻛﺎﻥ ﻟﻨﺎ ﲰﻰ‬
excellent names and titles are ‫ﻓﺼﺪﻗﺘﻤﻮﻩ ﻭﺍﲣﺬﲤﻮﻩ ﻭﻟﻴﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺩﻭﻧﻨﺎ ﻓﻜﻔﺮﰎ‬
slanders and lies which Satan
concocted for himself Thus, he .‫ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ ﺗﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
baffled you through such
fanciful names. We have never
had such ridiculous titles given
to us before. Sadly enough, you
trusted him so completely that
you selected him as your
savior-redeemer instead of Us!
He tricked you so cunningly that
you went along with him before
you realized what had
happened.

24. Nonetheless, Our


believ-ing folk, who are
anchored in wisdom and perfect
‫( ﺃﻣﺎ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺍﺳﺨﻮﻥ ﰱ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻢ‬٢٤
religion, have exposed the ‫ﻭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻘﻮﱘ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻓﻀﺤﻮﺍ ﺇﻓﻚ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬
treachery of Satan, the
despicable one, as well as the ‫ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻴﻢ ﻭﻣﻜﺮ ﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ ﻓﻤﻦ ﲦﺎﺭ‬
double-dealing of his followers.
How did we unveil this treason?
.‫ﺃﻋﻤﺎﳍﻢ ﻳﻌﺮﻓﻮﻥ‬
Very simply-by their fruits they
shall be known!
25. O, people everywhere, be ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻻ ﳜﺪﻋﻨﻜﻢ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﻄﺎﻥ‬٢٥
attentive: do not allow Satan ‫ﻭﺃﺗﺒﺎﻋﻪ ﺑﺎﻹﻓﻚ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻬﺘﺎﻥ ﻓﺈﻧﺎ ﻧﺸﻬﺪ ﺍﻷﻓﻌﺎﻝ‬
and
his devotees to deceive you . ‫ﻭﻻ ﻧﺴﻤﻊ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﻝ ﺍﳌﻔﺘﺮﻳﻦ‬
through their double-talk and
counterfeit documents. The
acid test of authenticity is not
what one proclaims with his
mouth but what he does in
everyday life with his hands.

77 ‫( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺸﻬﻴﺪ‬٧٧
THE MARTYR (Surat AI
Shaheed)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One
and only True God ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬

1. Let it be proclaimed
everywhere and to everyone.
The following are the ones who ‫( ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﻜﻔﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻭﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﺃﺻﻔﻴﺎﺀ‬١
will never be forgiven but shall ‫ﻭﻳﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻳﺄﻣﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﻟﻘﺴﻂ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ‬
be banished into hellfire forever
and ever: .‫ﻓﺒﺸﺮﻫﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﳍﻢ ﻋﺬﺍﺑﹰﺎ ﺷﺪﻳﺪﹰﺍ‬
The ones who reject Our Divine
Principles of ethical conduct,
The ones who put to death our
chosen servants and
The ones who kill those who
admonish others to be
even-handed in their treatment
of their fellowmen.
2. We have sovereignly ‫( ﻭﺍﺻﻄﻔﻴﻨﺎﻩ ﻭﺷﺮﺣﻨﺎﻩ ﺻﺪﺭﻩ ﻟﻺﳝﺎﻥ‬٢
selected this special man and
permeated his heart with much ‫ﻭﺟﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﻟﻪ ﻋﻴﻨﺎ ﺗﺒﺼﺮ ﻭﺃﺫﻧﺎ ﺗﺴﻤﻊ ﻭﻗﻠﺒﹰﺎ ﻳﻌﻘﻞ‬
divine faith. We have also
granted him: an observant eye, ‫ﻭﻟﺴﺎﻧﹰﺎ ﻳﻨﻄﻖ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﻭﺃﻭﺣﻴﻨﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
a listening ear, a reasoning .‫ﻓﺨﻄﻪ ﺑﺎﳊﻖ ﰱ ﺳﺒﻌﺔ ﺃﻳﺎﻡ ﻭﺳﺒﻊ ﻟﻴﺎﻝ ﺟﻠﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
mind and a tongue which
speaks truth and no guile. We
have, furthermore, disclosed to
him The True Furqan so much
so that he was enabled to
deliver it with brilliant
articulation in moment-ous time
of seven days and seven
nights.

3. If you shed his blood by ‫( ﺩﻡ ﺯﻛﻰ ﺗﺴﻔﻜﻮﻧﻪ ﺑﺄﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻓﻴﻜﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ‬٣


your own hands, he will testify
against you on the Day of .‫ﻳﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﻘﻴﺎﻣﺔ ﺷﻬﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
Resurrection.

4. He is but an intelligible sign


given to rational people for the ‫( ﻭﺁﻳﺔ ﺑﻴﻨﺔ ﻟﻘﻮﻡ ﻳﻌﻘﻠﻮﻥ ﻓﻴﺘﺒﻌﻮﻥ ﺳﺒﻴﻼ‬٤
purpose of urging them to walk .‫ﺭﺷﻴﺪﹰﺍ‬
on the highway of prudence.

5. If you commit yourselves to


make an attempt on his life, he
will not retaliate in the same ‫( ﻭﻟﺌﻦ ﺑﺴﻄﺘﻢ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﺃﻳﺪﻳﻜﻢ ﻟﺘﻘﺘﻠﻮﻩ ﻓﻤﺎ ﻫﻮ‬٥
manner toward you. His goal is
to help you to be rightly-guided ‫ﺑﺒﺎﺳﻂ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ ﺇﻟﻴﻜﻢ ﻟﻴﻘﺘﻠﻜﻢ ﺑﻞ ﻟﻴﺨﺮﺟﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ‬
by leading you out of darkness . ‫ﺍﻟﻈﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﺇﱃ ﺍﻟﻨﻮ ﺭ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﻬﺗﺘﺪﻭﻥ‬
and into the Light, Jesus the
Messiah.
6. Your own minds will ‫( ﻟﻘﺪ ﻃﻮﻋﺖ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﻗﺘﻞ ﺻﻔﻴﻨﺎ‬٦
pressure you to kill Our chosen
one. Such a despicable deed ‫ﺷﺎﻫﺪﻳﻦ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻜﻢ ﺑﺎﻟﻜﻔﺮ ﺃﻓﺘﻘﺘﻠﻮﻥ ﻧﻔﺴﹰﺎ‬
will simply underscore your true
identity as godless apostates. It ‫ﺯﻛﻴﺔ ﻭﺗﻄﻌﻤﻮﻥ ﺑﺮﲪﺘﻨﺎ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﺍﺠﻤﻟﺮﻣﻮﻥ ؟‬
is inconceivable that after
destroying a blameless soul,
you will still expect Us to
demonstrate compassion
toward you-even though you
have become unrepe-ntant
savages.

7. It should be no great ‫( ﻻ ﺟﺮﻡ ﺃﻧﻜﻢ ﰱ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻭﺍﻵﺧﺮﺓ ﺃﻧﺘﻢ‬٧


surprise to find out at the very
end, that in both earthly and .‫ﺍﻷﺧﺴﺮﻭﻥ‬
heavenly realms you are
abysmal losers!

8. Therefore, by such a brutal


act, you will end up using the ‫ ( ﻭﺧﺘﻤﺘﻢ ﺑﺪﻣﻪ ﺁﻳﻪ ﺗﻜﻮﻯ ﻬﺑﺎ ﺟﺒﺎﻫﻜﻢ‬٨
martyr's innocent blood to ‫ﻭﺗﺸﻬﺪ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﺄﻧﻜﻢ ﻛﻔﺮﺓ ﳎﺮﻣﻮﻥ ﻭﺃﻧﻪ‬
engrave upon your own
foreheads a seal. The seal will ‫ﺍﻟﺼﻔﻰ ﺍﻷﻣﲔ ﻭﺃﻥ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻫﻮ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ‬
attest to three significant facts.
First, it will unveil your real .‫ﻭﻫﻮ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﻟﻴﻘﲔ ﻭﻟﻮ ﻛﺮﻩ ﺍﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻭﻥ‬
character as criminals and
infidels. Second, his martyrdom
will certify that he is our faithful
and chosen one. Third, The
True Furqan will be recognized
as our disclosed Word,
the unadulterated Truth, even if
unbelievers reject its
authenticity. Let it be
remembered, it is our Truth
which will finally triumph on that
Great Judgment Day.

EPILOGUE (Surat AI
Khatimah)

In the Name of the Father, the ‫ﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻵﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺡ ﺍﻹﻟﻪ ﺍﻟﻮﺍﺣﺪ‬
Word, the Holy Spirit, the One ‫ﺍﻷﻭﺣﺪ‬
and only True god

1. O, you who have ‫ ﻻ‬: ‫( ﻳﺄﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺯﺍﻏﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺒﺎﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﳊﲔ‬١


wandered away, yet still
number yourselves among Our ‫ﲢﺠﺒﻮﺍ ﻧﻮﺭﻧﺎ ﻋﻦ ﺟﻬﻞ ﻣﻨﻜﻢ ﻭﺃﻧﺘﻢ ﻻ‬
godly followers: do not block
Our Light. Do not excuse .‫ﺗﺸﻌﺮﻭﻥ‬
yourselves by claiming that you
are uneducated, uninformed
and illiterate.

2. Furthermore, do not ‫( ﻭﻻ ﺗﻘﺤﻤﻮﺍ ﻟﻐﻮﻛﻢ ﰱ ﺃﻗﻮﺍﻟﻨﺎ ﳏﺮﻓﲔ ﺍﳊﻖ‬٢


interpolate Our Truth with your
own gibberish, thereby acting .‫ﻛﺎﻟﻜﺎﻓﺮﻳﻦ‬
as unrepentant heathens.
‫ ﻓﺎﲰﻌﻮﻫﺎ ﻭﻋﻮﻫﺎ‬. ‫( ﻓﻼ ﻣﺒﺪﻝ ﻟﻜﻠﻤﺎﺗﻨﺎ‬٣
3. No one in the entire
cosmos has ever been ‫ﻭﺍﺭﺟﻌﻮﺍ ﻋﻦ ﻏﻴﻜﻢ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺮﺗﺎﺑﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺻﻔﻴﻨﺎ ﻭﳑﺎ‬
authorized to alter any portion
of Our written Scriptures. We . ‫ﺍﺻﻄﻔﻴﻨﺎﻩ ﻟﻜﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺍﳍﺪﻯ ﻭﺍﳊﻖ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
implore you to obey it and
understand it. Seek restoration
from your foolish
backsliding. Do not be skeptical
concerning Our Chosen One,
neither of what We have sent
down for you concerning
reasonable guidance and
undeni-able truth.

4 . Yes, there are, even ‫( ﻭﻣﻦ ﺍﳌﺆﻣﻨﲔ ﻣﻦ ﻳﻨﺎﻓﻖ ﰱ ﻗﻠﺒﻪ ﻭﻳﻘﻮﻝ ﻣﺎ‬٤
among the true believers, some
individuals who are quite ‫ﻟﻴﺲ ﻟﻪ ﺑﻪ ﻋﻠﻢ ﻭﳛﺴﺐ ﺃﻧﻪ ﻳﻨﺎﺻﺮ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﻣﻦ‬
hypocritical inwardly. Such an .‫ﺍﳌﻘﺮﺑﲔ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻟﻴﺲ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﳊﻖ ﺑﺄﻣﲔ‬
individual speaks about matters
which really confound him. By
his boisterous speech he
somehow thinks such rhetoric
supports the cause of truth. He
also imagines that because of
such activity he is brought
much closer to Us. Plainly
speaking, a person of this type
reveals that he has not been
honorable regarding the Whole
Truth.
5. We have revived Our ‫( ﻭﺟﺪﺩﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻌﻬﺪ ﰱ ﺍﻹﳒﻴﻞ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻭﺫﻛﺮﻧﺎﻛﻢ‬٥
Covenant in The True Gospel. ‫ﺑﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ ﻓﻼ ﲡﺪﻳﺪ ﻟﻌﻬﺪﻧﺎ ﺍﳉﺪﻳﺪ ﺍﱃ‬
Moreover, we have sought to '
remind you of that revelation .‫ﻳﻮﻡ ﺗﺒﻌﺜﻮﻥ‬
through The True Furqan. We
ascertain that there will never
be ' any further renewal of Our
New Covenant through
Messiah Jesus,
until the Day of Resurrection.

6. If anyone adds to Our


Covenant a single letter, his ‫( ﻓﻤﻦ ﺯﺍﺩ ﺑﻌﻬﺪﻧﺎ ﺣﺮﻓﹰﺎ ﺯﺍﺩ ﻋﺬﺍﺑﻪ ﰱ ﻧﺎﺭ‬٦
torture in hellfire will be
intensified. If anyone takes ‫ ﻭﻣﻦ ﺣﺬﻑ ﺣﺮﻓﹰﺎ ﺣﺬﻑ ﺣﻈﻪ ﻣﻦ‬. ‫ﺍﳉﺤﻴﻢ‬
away a single letter, his .‫ﺟﻨﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻴﻢ‬
opportunity to enter Our
Heavenly Kingdom will be
forever denied.

7. We urge you to utilize


wisdom and love in propagating
Our Scriptures. Whenever there ‫( ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﻴﻨﻮﺍ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺗﺒﻠﻴﻎ ﻛﻠﻤﺘﻨﺎ ﺑﺎﳊﻜﻤﺔ‬٧
is a definite opportunity to ‫ﻭﺍﶈﺒﺔ ﻭﺣﲔ ﲢﲔ ﺳﺎﻋﺔ ﺍﻟﻴﻘﲔ ﻟﻠﻔﺮﻗﺎﻥ ﺍﳊﻖ‬
share The True Furqan and its
wonderful message, do it .‫ﻭﺍﻟﺒﻼﻍ ﺍﳌﺒﲔ‬
wholeheartedly.
For We are The Most Loving,
Compassionate and Forgiving
Potentate in this entire
universe.

AMEN
