And when We change (one) communication for (another) communication, and Allah knows best what He reveals, they say: You are only a forger. Nay, most of them do not know.

(As for) those who do not believe in Allah's communications, surely Allah will not guide them, and they shall have a painful punishment.

Only they forge the lie who do not believe in Allah's communications, and these are the liars.

This is because they love this world's life more than the hereafter, and because Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.

No doubt that in the hereafter they will be the losers.

(Remember) the day when every soul shall come, pleading for itself and every soul shall be paid in full what it has done, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

He has only forbidden you what dies of itself and blood and flesh of swine and that over which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

And, for what your tongues describe, do not utter the lie, (saying) This is lawful and this is unlawful, in order to forge a lie against Allah; surely those who forge the lie against Allah shall not prosper.

And be patient and your patience is not but by (the assistance of) Allah, and grieve not for them, and do not distress yourself at what they plan.

And that (as for) those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement.

Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright; and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray: nor can the bearer of a burden bear the burden of another, nor do We chastise until We raise a messenger.

Do not associate with Allah any other god, lest you sit down despised, neglected.

And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word.

And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needy and the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.

And do not make your hand to be shackled to your neck nor stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretching forth, lest you should (afterwards) sit down blamed, stripped off.

And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.

And go not nigh to fornication; surely it is an indecency and an evil way.

And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.

And draw not near to the property of the orphan except in a goodly way till he attains his maturity and fulfill the promise; surely (every) promise shall be questioned about.

And follow not that of which you have not the knowledge; surely the hearing and the sight and the heart, all of these, shall be questioned about that.

And do not go about in the land exultingly, for you cannot cut through the earth nor reach the mountains in height.

This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom, and do not associate any other god with Allah lest you should be thrown into hell, blamed, cast away.

The seven heavens declare His glory and the earth (too), and those who are in them; and there is not a single thing but glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification; surely He is Forbearing, Forgiving.

And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier;

See what they liken you to! So they have gone astray and cannot find the way.

Say: Call on those whom you assert besides Him, so they shall not control the removal of distress from you nor (its) transference.

What! Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a tract of land to engulf you or send on you a tornado? Then you shall not find a protector for yourselves.

Or, do you feel secure that He will (not) take you back into it another time, then send on you a fierce gale and thus drown you on account of your ungratefulness? Then you shall not find any aider against Us in the matter.

(Remember) the day when We will call every people with their Imam; then whoever is given his book in his right hand, these shall read their book; and they shall not be dealt with a whit unjustly.

In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any helper against Us.

And surely they purposed to unsettle you from the land that they might expel you from it, and in that case they will not tarry behind you but a little.

(This is Our) course with regard to those of Our messengers whom We sent before you, and you shall not find a change in Our course.

And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust.

And if We please, We should certainly take away that which We have revealed to you, then you would not find for it any protector against Us.

Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aiders of others.

Do they not consider that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like, and He has appointed for them a doom about which there is no doubt? But the unjust do not consent to aught but denying.

Say: Believe in it or believe not; surely those who are given the knowledge before it fall down on their faces, making obeisance when it is recited to them.

Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent Allah; whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these.

They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers; a grievous word it is that comes out of their mouths; they speak nothing but a lie.

And thus did We rouse them that they might question each other. A speaker among them said: How long have you tarried? They said: We have tarried for a day or a part of a day. (Others) said: Your Lord knows best how long you have tarried. Now send one of you with this silver (coin) of yours to the city, then let him see which of them has purest food, so let him bring you provision from it, and let him behave with gentleness, and by no means make your case known to any one:

And thus did We make (men) to get knowledge of them that they might know that Allah's promise is true and that as for the hour there is no doubt about it. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said: Erect an edifice over them-- their Lord best knows them. Those who prevailed in their affair said: We will certainly raise a masjid over them.

(Some) say: (They are) three, the fourth of them being their dog; and (others) say: Five, the sixth of them being their dog, making conjectures at what is unknown; and (others yet) say: Seven, and the eighth of them is their dog. Say: My Lord best knows their number, none knows them but a few; therefore contend not in the matter of them but with an outward contention, and do not question concerning them any of them.

And do not say of anything: Surely I will do it tomorrow,

Say: Allah knows best how long they remained; to Him are (known) the unseen things of the heavens and the earth; how clear His sight and how clear His hearing! There is none to be a guardian for them besides Him, and He does not make any one His associate in His Judgment.

And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words; and you shall not find any refuge besides Him.

And withhold yourself with those who call on their Lord morning and evening desiring His goodwill, and let not your eyes pass from them, desiring the beauties of this world's life; and do not follow him whose heart We have made unmindful to Our remembrance, and he follows his low desires and his case is one in which due bounds are exceeded.

Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, We do not waste the reward of him who does a good work.

But as for me, He, Allah, is my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with my Lord.

And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden: It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah? If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children,

And the Book shall be placed, then you will see the guilty fearing from what is in it, and they will say: Ah! woe to us! what a book is this! it does not omit a small one nor a great one, but numbers them (all); and what they had done they shall find present (there); and your Lord does not deal unjustly with anyone.

I did not make them witnesses of the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor of the creation of their own souls; nor could I take those who lead (others) astray for aiders.

And when Musa said to his servant: I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two rivers or I will go on for years.

He said: If Allah pleases, you will find me patient and I shall not disobey you in any matter.

He said: If you would follow me, then do not question me about any thing until I myself speak to you about it

He said: Blame me not for what I forgot, and do not constrain me to a difficult thing in my affair.

He said: If I ask you about anything after this, keep me not in your company; indeed you shall have (then) found an excuse in my case.

Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, he found on that side of them a people who could hardly understand a word.

They whose eyes were under a cover from My reminder and they could not even hear.

These are they who disbelieve in the communications of their Lord and His meeting, so their deeds become null, and therefore We will not set up a balance for them on the day of resurrection.

Abiding therein; they shall not desire removal from them.

Say: I am only a mortal like you; it is revealed to me that your god is one Allah, therefore whoever hopes to meet his Lord, he should do good deeds, and not join any one in the service of his Lord.

And warn them of the day of intense regret, when the matter shall have been decided; and they are (now) in negligence and they do not believe.

When he said to his father; O my father! why do you worship what neither hears nor sees, nor does it avail you in the least:

O my father! serve not the Shaitan, surely the Shaitan is disobedient to the Beneficent Allah:

Except such as repent and believe and do good, these shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly in any way:

They shall not hear therein any vain discourse, but only: Peace, and they shall have their sustenance therein morning and evening.

Does not man remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?

Therefore be not in haste against them, We only number out to them a number (of days).

They shall not control intercession, save he who has made a covenant with the Beneficent Allah.

Allah-- there is no god but He; His are the very best names.

Surely I am Allah, there is no god but I, therefore serve Me and keep up prayer for My remembrance:

Therefore let not him who believes not in it and follows his low desires turn you away from it so that you should perish;

He said: Take hold of it and fear not; We will restore it to its former state:

When your sister went and said: Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him? So We brought you back to your mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve and you killed a man, then We delivered you from the grief, and We tried you with (a severe) trying. Then you stayed for years among the people of Madyan; then you came hither as ordained, O Musa.

Go you and your brother with My communications and be not remiss in remembering Me;

He said: Fear not, surely I am with you both: I do hear and see.

So go you both to him and say: Surely we are two messengers of your Lord; therefore send the children of Israel with us and do not torment them! Indeed we have brought to you a communication from your Lord, and peace is on him who follows the guidance;

He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book, my Lord errs not, nor does He forget;

So we too will produce before you magic like it, therefore make between us and you an appointment, which we should not break, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place.

Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).

We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost,

And cast down what is in your right hand; it shall devour what they have wrought; they have wrought only the plan of a magician, and the magician shall not be successful wheresoever he may come from.

Whoever comes to his Lord (being) guilty, for him is surely hell; he shall not die therein, nor shall he live.

And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by night with My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, not fearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid.

Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, and be not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should be due to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perish indeed.

What! could they not see that it did not return to them a reply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit for them?

He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word.

He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.

Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge.

You shall not see therein any crookedness or unevenness.

On that day they shall follow the inviter, there is no crookedness in him, and the voices shall be low before the Beneficent Allah so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.

On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.

He knows what is before them and what is behind them, while they do not comprehend it in knowledge.

And whoever does good works and he is a believer, he shall have no fear of injustice nor of the withholding of his due.

Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth, and do not make haste with the Quran before its revelation is made complete to you and say: O my Lord ! increase me in knowledge.

So We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the garden so that you should be unhappy;

Surely it is (ordained) for you that you shall not be hungry therein nor bare of clothing;

And that you shall not be thirsty therein nor shall you feel the heat of the sun.

But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to him; he said: O Adam! Shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?

He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy;
