Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
O believers! Do not violate Allah’s rituals ˹of pilgrimage˺, the sacred months, the sacrificial animals, the ˹offerings decorated with˺ garlands, nor those ˹pilgrims˺ on their way to the Sacred House seeking their Lord’s bounty and pleasure. When pilgrimage has ended, you are allowed to hunt. Do not let the hatred of a people who once barred you from the Sacred Mosque provoke you to transgress. Cooperate with one another in goodness and righteousness, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment.

He is the One Who has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book, of which some verses are precise—they are the foundation of the Book—while others are elusive.
1 Those with deviant hearts follow the elusive verses seeking ˹to spread˺ doubt through their ˹false˺ interpretations—but none grasps their ˹full˺ meaning except Allah. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say, “We believe in this ˹Quran˺—it is all from our Lord.” But none will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ has sent down the best message—a Book of perfect consistency and repeated lessons—which causes the skin ˹and hearts˺ of those who fear their Lord to tremble, then their skin and hearts soften at the mention of ˹the mercy of˺ Allah. That is the guidance of Allah, through which He guides whoever He wills. But whoever Allah leaves to stray will be left with no guide.

٢٣
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ those who have taken their own desires as their god? ˹And so˺ Allah left them to stray knowingly, sealed their hearing and hearts, and placed a cover on their sight. Who then can guide them after Allah? Will you ˹all˺ not then be mindful?

˹Remember˺ when the disbelievers had filled their hearts with pride—the pride of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
There is no blame on you for seeking the bounty of your Lord ˹during this journey˺.
1 When you return from ’Arafât,
2 praise Allah near the sacred place
3 and praise Him for having guided you, for surely before this ˹guidance˺ you were astray.
2:200 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 200
فَإِذَا
قَضَيۡتُم

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
When you have fulfilled your sacred rites, praise Allah as you used to praise your forefathers ˹before Islam˺, or even more passionately. There are some who say, “Our Lord! Grant us ˹Your bounties˺ in this world,” but they will have no share in the Hereafter.
7:201 - Al-A'raf
Verse 201
إِنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, they remember ˹their Lord˺ then they start to see ˹things˺ clearly.

٢٠٣
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And remember Allah during ˹these˺ appointed days.
1 Whoever departs swiftly on the second day is not sinful, neither are those who stay behind ˹till the third—seeking additional reward˺, so long as they are mindful ˹of their Lord˺. And be mindful of Allah, and know that to Him you will ˹all˺ be gathered.
7:205 - Al-A'raf

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Remember your Lord inwardly with humility and reverence and in a moderate tone of voice, both morning and evening. And do not be one of the heedless.

٢٢١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe; for a believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist, even though she may look pleasant to you. And do not marry your women to polytheistic men until they believe, for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist, even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite ˹you˺ to the Fire while Allah invites ˹you˺ to Paradise and forgiveness by His grace.
1 He makes His revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful.

٢٢٧
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
But this is not the case with those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and ˹poetically˺ avenge ˹the believers˺ after being wrongfully slandered. The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet.
2:231 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 231
وَإِذَا

٢٣١
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
When you divorce women and they have ˹almost˺ reached the end of their waiting period, either retain them honourably or let them go honourably. But do not retain them ˹only˺ to harm them ˹or˺ to take advantage ˹of them˺. Whoever does that surely wrongs his own soul. Do not take Allah’s revelations lightly. Remember Allah’s favours upon you as well as the Book and wisdom
1 He has sent down for your guidance. Be mindful of Allah, and know that Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.
2:237 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 237
وَإِن
طَلَّقۡتُمُوهُنَّ

يَعۡفُونَ
أَوۡ
يَعۡفُوَاْ
ٱلَّذِي
بِيَدِهِۦ

ٱلنِّكَاحِۚ
وَأَن
تَعۡفُوٓاْ
أَقۡرَبُ
لِلتَّقۡوَىٰۚ
وَلَا

ٱلۡفَضۡلَ
بَيۡنَكُمۡۚ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
بِمَا

بَصِيرٌ
٢٣٧
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And if you divorce them before consummating the marriage but after deciding on a dowry, pay half of the dowry, unless the wife graciously waives it or the husband graciously pays in full. Graciousness is closer to righteousness. And do not forget kindness among yourselves. Surely Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
2:239 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 239
فَإِنۡ
خِفۡتُمۡ
فَرِجَالًا
أَوۡ
رُكۡبَانٗاۖ
فَإِذَآ
أَمِنتُمۡ
فَٱذۡكُرُواْ
ٱللَّهَ
كَمَا
عَلَّمَكُم
مَّا
لَمۡ
تَكُونُواْ
تَعۡلَمُونَ
٢٣٩
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
If you are in danger, pray on foot or while riding. But when you are safe, ˹take time to˺ remember Allah for teaching you what you did not know.
2:269 - Al-Baqarah
Verse 269
يُؤۡتِي
ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ
مَن
يَشَآءُۚ
وَمَن
يُؤۡتَ
ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ
فَقَدۡ
أُوتِيَ
خَيۡرٗا
كَثِيرٗاۗ
وَمَا

أُوْلُواْ
ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ
٢٦٩
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
He grants wisdom to whoever He wills. And whoever is granted wisdom is certainly blessed with a great privilege. But none will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason.
