Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
˹He is the One˺ Who has made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy; and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. So do not knowingly set up equals to

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Surely
Allah does not shy away from using the parable of a mosquito or what is even smaller. As for the believers, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. And as for the disbelievers, they argue, “What does
Allah mean by such a parable?” Through this ˹test˺, He leaves many to stray, and guides many. And He leaves none to stray except the rebellious—

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
We have appointed only ˹stern˺ angels as wardens of the Fire. And We have made their number only as a test for the disbelievers,
1 so that the People of the Book will be certain, and the believers will increase in faith, and neither the People of the Book nor the believers will have any doubts, and so that those ˹hypocrites˺ with sickness in their hearts and the disbelievers will argue, “What does
Allah mean by such a number?” In this way
Allah leaves whoever He wills to stray and guides whoever He wills. And none knows the forces of your Lord except He. And this ˹description of Hell˺ is only a reminder to humanity.

Ask, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Who has forbidden the adornments and lawful provisions

And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We cannot endure the same meal ˹every day˺.

Allah for rejecting
Allah’s signs and unjustly killing the prophets. This is ˹a fair reward˺ for their disobedience and violations.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians

Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! Let us come to common terms: that we will worship none but
Allah, associate none with Him, nor take one another as lords instead of
Allah.” But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted ˹to

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
If We had commanded them to sacrifice themselves or abandon their homes, none would have obeyed except for a few. Had they done what they were advised to do,
1 it would have certainly been far better for them and more reassuring,

And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “

When they meet the believers they say, “We believe.” But in private they say ˹to each other˺, “Will you disclose to the believers the knowledge

Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from
Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by
Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything!

And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the children of Israel ˹stating˺, “Worship none but

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
But here you are, killing each other and expelling some of your people from their homes, aiding one another in sin and aggression; and when those ˹expelled˺ come to you as captives, you still ransom them—though expelling them was unlawful for you.
1 Do you believe in some of the Scripture and reject the rest? Is there any reward for those who do so among you other than disgrace in this worldly life and being subjected to the harshest punishment on the Day of Judgment? For
Allah is never unaware of what you do.

Although they used to pray for victory ˹by means of the Prophet˺ over the polytheists,
1 when there came to them a Book from

Miserable is the price they have sold their souls for—denying

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
When it is said to them: “Believe in what
Allah has revealed,” they reply, “We only believe in what was sent down to us,” and they deny what came afterwards, though it is the truth confirming their own Scriptures! Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Why then did you kill

They will make excuses to you ˹believers˺ when you return to them. Say, “Make no excuses, ˹for˺ we will not believe you.

Those believers who stay at home—except the ones with valid excuses

Allah with their wealth and their lives.
Allah has elevated in rank those who strive with their wealth and their lives above those who stay behind ˹with valid excuses˺.
Allah has promised each a fine reward, but those who strive will receive a far better reward than others—

O believers! Do not ask about any matter which, if made clear to you, may disturb you. But if you inquire about what is being revealed in the Quran, it will be made clear to you.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
It was not ˹proper˺ for the people of Medina and the nomadic Arabs around them to avoid marching with the Messenger of
Allah or to prefer their own lives above his. That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of
Allah; or tread on a territory, unnerving the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely
Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.

The polytheists will argue, “Had it been
Allah’s Will, neither we nor our forefathers would have associated others with Him ˹in worship˺ or made anything unlawful.” Likewise, those before them rejected the truth until they tasted Our punishment.

O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about

1 The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of
Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him.
2 So believe in
Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good.
Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And
Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west. Rather, the righteous are those who believe in
Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Books, and the prophets; who give charity out of their cherished wealth to relatives, orphans, the poor, ˹needy˺ travellers, beggars, and for freeing captives; who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and keep the pledges they make; and who are patient in times of suffering, adversity, and in ˹the heat of˺ battle. It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of

Or ˹are you not aware of˺ the one who passed by a city which was in ruins. He wondered, “How could
Allah bring this back to life after its destruction?” So
Allah caused him to die for a hundred years then brought him back to life.
Allah asked, “How long have you remained ˹in this state˺?” He replied, “Perhaps a day or part of a day.”
Allah said, “No! You have remained here for a hundred years! Just look at your food and drink—they have not spoiled. ˹But now˺ look at ˹the remains of˺ your donkey! And ˹so˺ We have made you into a sign for humanity. And look at the bones ˹of the donkey˺, how We bring them together then clothe them with flesh!”
1 When this was made clear to him, he declared, “˹Now˺ I know that
Allah is Most Capable of everything.”
