Juz 5
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! We reveal unto thee the Scripture with the truth, that thou mayst judge between mankind by that which Allah showeth thee. And be not thou a pleader for the treacherous;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd plead not on behalf of (people) who deceive themselves. Lo! Allah loveth not one who is treacherous and sinful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey seek to hide from men and seek not to hide from Allah. He is with them when by night they hold discourse displeasing unto Him. Allah ever surroundeth what they do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHo! ye are they who pleaded for them in the life of the world. But who will plead with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will then be their defender?

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhoso committeth sin committeth it only against himself. Allah is ever Knower, Wise.

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut for the grace of Allah upon thee (Muhammad), and His mercy, a party of them had resolved to mislead thee, but they will mislead only themselves and they will hurt thee not at all.

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd whoso opposeth the messenger after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell - a hapless journey's end!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray.

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhom Allah cursed, and he said: Surely I will take of Thy bondmen an appointed portion,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle' ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah's creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a loser and his loss is manifest.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHe promiseth them and stirreth up desires in them, and Satan promiseth them only to beguile.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallFor such, their habitation will be hell, and they will find no refuge therefrom.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut as for those who believe and do good works We shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. It is a promise from Allah in truth; and who can be more truthful than Allah in utterance?
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIt will not be in accordance with your desires, nor the desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the recompense thereof, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper.

Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey consult thee concerning women. Say: Allah giveth you decree concerning them, and the Scripture which hath been recited unto you (giveth decree), concerning female orphans and those unto whom ye give not that which is ordained for them though ye desire to marry them, and (concerning) the weak among children, and that ye should deal justly with orphans. Whatever good ye do, lo! Allah is ever Aware of it.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIf a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the minds (of men). If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallYe will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut if they separate, Allah will compensate each out of His abundance. Allah is ever All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallUnto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And We charged those who received the Scripture before you, and (We charge) you, that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And if ye disbelieve, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and Allah is ever Absolute, Owner of Praise.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallUnto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIf He will, He can remove you, O people, and produce others (in your stead). Allah is Able to do that.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhoso desireth the reward of the world, (let him know that) with Allah is the reward of the world and the Hereafter. Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! those who believe, then disbelieve and then (again) believe, then disbelieve, and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never pardon them, nor will He guide them unto a way.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBear unto the hypocrites the tidings that for them there is a painful doom;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThose who chose disbelievers for their friends instead of believers! Do they look for power at their hands? Lo! all power appertaineth to Allah.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHe hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThose who wait upon occasion in regard to you and, if a victory cometh unto you from Allah, say: Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say: Had we not the mastery of you, and did we not protect you from the believers? - Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! the hypocrites seek to beguile Allah, but it is He Who beguileth them. When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen of men, and are mindful of Allah but little;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSwaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) wilt not find a way for him:
