۞وَٱذۡكُرُواۡ
And remember
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
فِىٓ
during
أَيَّامٍ
days
مَّعۡدُودٰتٍ‌ۚ
numbered
فَمَن
Then (he) who
تَعَجَّلَ
hurries
فِى
in
يَوۡمَيۡنِ
two days
فَلَآ
then no
إِثۡمَ
sin
عَلَيۡهِ
upon him
وَمَن
and whoever
تَأَخَّرَ
delays
فَلَآ
then no
إِثۡمَ
sin
عَلَيۡهِ‌ۚ
upon him
لِمَنِ
for (the one) who
ٱتَّقَىٰ‌ۗ
fears
وَٱتَّقُواۡ
And fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
and know
أَنَّكُمۡ
that you
إِلَيۡهِ
unto Him
تُحۡشَرُونَ
will be gathered
٢٠٣
And remember Allāh during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him - for him who fears Allāh. And fear Allāh and know that unto Him you will be gathered.
2:204
وَمِنَ
And of
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
مَن
(is the one) who
يُعۡجِبُكَ
pleases you
قَوۡلُهُۥ
(with) his speech
فِى
in
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
وَيُشۡهِدُ
and he calls to witness
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
on
مَا
what
فِى
(is) in
قَلۡبِهِۦ
his heart
وَهُوَ
and he
أَلَدُّ
(is) the most quarrelsome
ٱلۡخِصَامِ
(of) opponents
٢٠٤
And of the people is he whose speech pleases you in worldly life, and he calls Allāh to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the fiercest of opponents.
2:205
وَإِذَا
And when
تَوَلَّىٰ
he turns away
سَعَىٰ
he strives
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
لِيُفۡسِدَ
to spread corruption
فِيهَا
[in it]
وَيُهۡلِكَ
and destroys
ٱلۡحَرۡثَ
the crops
وَٱلنَّسۡلَ‌ۗ
and progeny
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
لَا
(does) not
يُحِبُّ
love
ٱلۡفَسَادَ
[the] corruption
٢٠٥
And when he goes away, he strives throughout the land to cause corruption therein and destroy crops and animals. And Allāh does not like corruption.
2:206
وَإِذَا
And when
قِيلَ
it is said
لَهُ
to him
ٱتَّقِ
Fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
أَخَذَتۡهُ
takes him
ٱلۡعِزَّةُ
(his) pride
بِٱلۡإِثۡمِ‌ۚ
to [the] sins
فَحَسۡبُهُۥ
Then enough for him
جَهَنَّمُ‌ۚ
(is) Hell
وَلَبِئۡسَ
[and] surely an evil
ٱلۡمِهَادُ
[the] resting-place
٢٠٦
And when it is said to him, "Fear Allāh," pride in the sin takes hold of him. Sufficient for him is Hellfire, and how wretched is the resting place.
2:207
وَمِنَ
And of
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
مَن
(is the one) who
يَشۡرِى
sells
نَفۡسَهُ
his own self
ٱبۡتِغَآءَ
seeking
مَرۡضَاتِ
pleasure
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
رَءُوفُۢ
(is) full of Kindness
بِٱلۡعِبَادِ
to His servants
٢٠٧
And of the people is he who sells himself, seeking means to the approval of Allāh. And Allāh is Kind to [His] servants.
2:208

after
مَا
[what]
جَآءَتۡكُمُ

then know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَزِيزٌ
(is) All-Mighty
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise
٢٠٩
But if you slip [i.e., deviate] after clear proofs have come to you, then know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
2:210
هَلۡ
Are
يَنظُرُونَ
they waiting
إِلَّآ
[except]
أَن
that
يَأۡتِيَهُمُ

ٱللَّهُ
Allah

in
ظُلَلٍ
(the) shadows
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡغَمَامِ

ٱلۡأَمۡرُ‌ۚ
the matter
وَإِلَى
And to
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
تُرۡجَعُ
return
ٱلۡأُمُورُ
(all) the matters
٢١٠
Do they await but that Allāh should come to them in covers of clouds and the angels [as well] and the matter is [then] decided? And to Allāh [all] matters are returned.
2:211
سَلۡ
Ask
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
كَمۡ

Allah
شَدِيدُ
(is) severe
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
in [the] chastising
٢١١
Ask the Children of Israel how many a sign of evidence We have given them. And whoever exchanges the favor of Allāh [for disbelief] after it has come to him - then indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty.
2:212
زُيِّنَ
Beautified
لِلَّذِينَ
for those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve[d]
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ
(is) the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
وَيَسۡخَرُونَ
and they ridicule
مِنَ
[of]
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ‌ۘ
believe[d]
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
ٱتَّقَوۡاۡ
fear (Allah)
فَوۡقَهُمۡ
(they will be) above them
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۗ
(of) Resurrection
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
يَرۡزُقُ
provides
مَن
whom
يَشَآءُ
He wills
بِغَيۡرِ
without
حِسَابٍ
measure
٢١٢
Beautified for those who disbelieve is the life of this world, and they ridicule those who believe. But those who fear Allāh are above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account.
2:213
كَانَ
Was
ٱلنَّاسُ
mankind
أُمَّةً
a community
وٰحِدَةً
single
فَبَعَثَ
then raised up
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ
[the] Prophets
مُبَشِّرِينَ
(as) bearers of glad tidings
وَمُنذِرِينَ
and (as) warners
وَأَنزَلَ
and sent down
مَعَهُمُ
with them
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
in [the] truth
لِيَحۡكُمَ
to judge
بَيۡنَ
between
ٱلنَّاسِ
[the] people
فِيمَا
in what
ٱخۡتَلَفُواۡ
they differed
فِيهِ‌ۚ
[in it]
وَمَا
And (did) not
ٱخۡتَلَفَ
differ[ed]
فِيهِ
in it
إِلَّا
except
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
أُوتُوهُ
were given it
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مَا
[what]
جَآءَتۡهُمُ
came to them
ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتُ
the clear proofs
بَغۡيَۢا
(out of) jealousy
بَيۡنَهُمۡ‌ۖ
among themselves
فَهَدَى
And guided
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
لِمَا
regarding what
ٱخۡتَلَفُواۡ
they differed
فِيهِ
[in it]
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡحَقِّ
the Truth
بِإِذۡنِهِۦ‌ۗ
with His permission
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
يَهۡدِى
guides
مَن
whom
يَشَآءُ
He wills
إِلَىٰ
to
صِرٰطٍ
a path
مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ
straight
٢١٣
Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allāh sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allāh guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.
2:214
أَمۡ
Or
حَسِبۡتُمۡ
(do) you think
أَن
that
تَدۡخُلُواۡ
you will enter
ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
Paradise
وَلَمَّا
while not
يَأۡتِكُم
(has) come to you
مَّثَلُ
like (came to)
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
خَلَوۡاۡ
passed away
مِن
from
قَبۡلِكُم‌ۖ
before you
مَّسَّتۡهُمُ
Touched them
ٱلۡبَأۡسَآءُ
[the] adversity
وَٱلضَّرَّآءُ
and [the] hardship
وَزُلۡزِلُواۡ
and they were shaken
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَقُولَ
said
ٱلرَّسُولُ
the Messenger
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
مَعَهُۥ
with him
مَتَىٰ
When
نَصۡرُ
[will] (the) help
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah (come)
أَلَآ
Unquestionably
إِنَّ
[Indeed]
نَصۡرَ
help
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
قَرِيبٌ
(is) near
٢١٤
Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allāh?" Unquestionably, the help of Allāh is near.
2:215
يَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
They ask you
مَاذَا
what
يُنفِقُونَ‌ۖ
they (should) spend
قُلۡ
Say

ٱلسَّبِيلِ‌ۗ
the wayfarer
وَمَا
And whatever
تَفۡعَلُواۡ
you do
مِنۡ
of
خَيۡرٍ
good
فَإِنَّ
So indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
بِهِۦ
of it
عَلِيمٌ
(is) All-Aware
٢١٥
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it."
2:216
كُتِبَ
Is prescribed
عَلَيۡكُمُ
upon you
ٱلۡقِتَالُ
[the] fighting
وَهُوَ
while it
كُرۡهٌ

لَّكُمۡ‌ۖ
to you
وَعَسَىٰٓ
But perhaps
أَن
[that]
تَكۡرَهُواۡ
you dislike
شَيۡــًٔا
a thing
وَهُوَ
and it
خَيۡرٌ
(is) good
لَّكُمۡ‌ۖ
for you
وَعَسَىٰٓ
and perhaps
أَن
[that]
تُحِبُّواۡ
you love
شَيۡــًٔا
a thing
وَهُوَ
and it
شَرٌّ
(is) bad
لَّكُمۡ‌ۗ

وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
لَا
(do) not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٢١٦
Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not.
2:217
يَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
They ask you
عَنِ
about
ٱلشَّهۡرِ
the month
ٱلۡحَرَامِ
[the] sacred
قِتَالٍ
(concerning) fighting
فِيهِ‌ۖ
in it
قُلۡ
Say
قِتَالٌ
Fighting
فِيهِ
therein
كَبِيرٌ‌ۖ
(is) a great (sin)
وَصَدٌّ
but hindering (people)
عَن
from
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
وَكُفۡرُۢ
and disbelief
بِهِۦ
in Him
وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
and (preventing access to) Al-Masjid
ٱلۡحَرَامِ
Al-Haraam
وَإِخۡرَاجُ
and driving out
أَهۡلِهِۦ
its people
مِنۡهُ
from it
أَكۡبَرُ
(is) greater (sin)
عِندَ
near
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
Allah
وَٱلۡفِتۡنَةُ
And [the] oppression
أَكۡبَرُ
(is) greater
مِنَ
than
ٱلۡقَتۡلِ‌ۗ
[the] killing
وَلَا
And not
يَزَالُونَ
they will cease
يُقَـٰتِلُونَكُمۡ
(to) fight with you
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَرُدُّوكُمۡ
they turn you away
عَن
from
دِينِكُمۡ
your religion
إِنِ
if
ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُواۡ‌ۚ
they are able
وَمَن
And whoever
يَرۡتَدِدۡ
turns away
مِنكُمۡ
among you
عَن
from
دِينِهِۦ
his religion
فَيَمُتۡ
then dies
وَهُوَ
while he
كَافِرٌ
(is) a disbeliever
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
for those
حَبِطَتۡ
became worthless
أَعۡمَـٰلُهُمۡ
their deeds
فِى
in
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
the world
وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِ‌ۖ
and the Hereafter
وَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
And those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are) companions
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
(of) the Fire
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٢١٧
They ask you about the sacred month1 - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allāh and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allāh. And fitnah2 is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
2:218
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ

in
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
يَرۡجُونَ
they hope
رَحۡمَتَ
(for) Mercy
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
(of) Allah
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
٢١٨
Indeed, those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allāh - those expect the mercy of Allāh. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

۞يَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
They ask you
عَنِ
about
ٱلۡخَمۡرِ
[the] intoxicants
وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرِ‌ۖ
and [the] games of chance
قُلۡ
Say
فِيهِمَآ
In both of them
إِثۡمٌ
(is) a sin
كَبِيرٌ
great
وَمَنَـٰفِعُ
and (some) benefits
لِلنَّاسِ
for [the] people
وَإِثۡمُهُمَآ
But sin of both of them
أَكۡبَرُ
(is) greater
مِن
than
نَّفۡعِهِمَا‌ۗ
(the) benefit of (the) two
وَيَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
And they ask you
مَاذَا
what

Allah
لَكُمُ
to you
ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
[the] Verses
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَتَفَكَّرُونَ
ponder
٢١٩
They ask you about wine1 and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allāh makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought
2:220

Concerning
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
the world
وَٱلۡأَخِرَةِ‌ۗ

then they (are) your brothers
وَٱللَّهُ

To this world and the Hereafter. And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. And if you mix your affairs with theirs - they are your brothers. And Allāh knows the corrupter from the amender. And if Allāh had willed, He could have put you in difficulty. Indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."
2:221
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَنكِحُواۡ
[you] marry
ٱلۡمُشۡرِكَـٰتِ
[the] polytheistic women
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُؤۡمِنَّ‌ۚ
they believe
وَلَأَمَةٌ
And a bondwoman
مُّؤۡمِنَةٌ
(who is) believing
خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
مِّن
than
مُّشۡرِكَةٍ
a polytheistic woman
وَلَوۡ
[and] even if
أَعۡجَبَتۡكُمۡ‌ۗ
she pleases you
وَلَا
And (do) not
تُنكِحُواۡ
give in marriage (your women)
ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
(to) [the] polytheistic men
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُؤۡمِنُواۡ‌ۚ
they believe
وَلَعَبۡدٌ
and a bondman
مُّؤۡمِنٌ
(who is) believing
خَيۡرٌ

a polytheistic man
وَلَوۡ
[and] even if
أَعۡجَبَكُمۡ‌ۗ
he pleases you
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
[Those]

the Fire
وَٱللَّهُ
and Allah
يَدۡعُوٓاۡ
invites
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ
Paradise
وَٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ
and [the] forgiveness
بِإِذۡنِهِۦ‌ۖ
by His permission
وَيُبَيِّنُ
And He makes clear
ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ
His Verses
لِلنَّاسِ
for the people
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
take heed
٢٢١
And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe.1 And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allāh invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that perhaps they may remember.
2:222
وَيَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
And they ask you

Indeed

those who purify themselves
٢٢٢
And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives1 during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves,2 then come to them from where Allāh has ordained for you. Indeed, Allāh loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."

Your wives are a place of cultivation [i.e., sowing of seed] for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And fear Allāh and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers.

Divorced women remain in waiting [i.e., do not remarry] for three periods,1 and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allāh has created in their wombs if they believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation.2 And due to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable.3 But the men [i.e., husbands] have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Divorce is twice. Then [after that], either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allāh.1 But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allāh, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allāh, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allāh - it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].

And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him.1 And if he [i.e., the latter husband] divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon them [i.e., the woman and her former husband] for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allāh. These are the limits of Allāh, which He makes clear to a people who know [i.e.,understand].

And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or release them according to acceptable terms, and do not keep them, intending harm, to transgress [against them].
