Only would Satan sow hatred and strife among you, by wine and games of chance, and turn you aside from the remembrance of God, and from prayer:  will ye not, therefore, abstain from them?  Obey God and obey the Apostle, and be on your guard:  but if ye turn back, know that our Apostle is only bound to deliver a plain announcement.

No blame shall attach to those who believe and do good works, in regard to any food they have taken, in case they fear God and believe, and do the things that are right, and shall still fear God and believe, and shall still fear him, and do good; for God loveth those who do good.

O ye who believe!  God will surely make trial of you with such game as ye may take with your hands, or your lances, that God may know who feareth him in secret:  and whoever after this transgresseth, shall suffer a grievous chastisement.

O believers!35 kill no game while ye are on pilgrimage.  Whosoever among you shall purposely kill it, shall comsent pensate for it in domestic animals of equal value (according to the judgment of two just persons among you), to be brought as an offering to the Caaba; or in expiation thereof shall feed the poor; or as the equivalent of this shall fast, that he may taste the ill consequence of his deed.  God forgiveth what is past; but whoever doth it again, God will take vengeance on him; for God is mighty and vengeance is His.

It is lawful for you to fish in the sea, and to eat fish, as provision for you and for those who travel; but it is unlawful for you to hunt by land while ye are still on pilgrimage:  fear ye God, therefore, before whom ye shall be assembled.

God hath appointed the Caaba,36 the sacred house, to be a station for mankind, and the sacred month, and the offering, and its ornaments.  This, that ye may know that God knoweth all that is in the heavens and on the earth, and that God hath knowledge of everything.  Know that God is severe in punishing, and that God is Forgiving, Merciful.

The Apostle is only bound to preach:  and God knoweth what ye bring to light, and what ye conceal.

Say:  The evil and the good shall not be valued alike, even though the abundance of evil please thee; therefore fear God, O ye of understanding! that it may be well with you.

O believers! ask us not of things which if they were told might only pain you; but if ye ask of such things when the entire Koran shall have been sent down, they will be declared to you:  God will pardon you for this, for God is Forgiving, Gracious.  They who were before you, asked concerning such things, and afterwards quickly disbelieved therein

God hath not ordained anything on the subject. of Bahira, or Saïba, or Wasila, or Hami;37 but the unbelievers have invented this lie against God:  and most of them had no understanding.

And when it was said to them, “Accede to that which God hath sent down, and to the Apostle:”  they said, “Sufficient for us is the faith in which we found our fathers.”  What! though their fathers knew nothing, and had no guidance?
