The Cow 1.A.&.M. 2.!his is the 'oo#; in it is uidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah. 3.(ho belie)e in the *nseen, are steadfast in "rayer, and s"end out of what (e ha)e "ro)ided for them; 4.And who belie)e in the +e)elation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and $in their hearts% ha)e the assurance of the ereafter. 5.!hey are on $true% uidance, from their &ord, and it is these who will "ros"er. 6.As to those who re-ect aith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not belie)e. 7.Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearin, and on their eyes is a )eil; reat is the "enalty they $incur%. 8./f the "eo"le there are some who say0 1(e belie)e in Allah and the &ast Day;1 but they do not $really% belie)e. 9.ain would they decei)e Allah and those who belie)e, but they only decei)e themsel)es, and realise $it% not2 10.In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease0 And rie)ous is the "enalty they $incur%, because they are false $to themsel)es%. 11.(hen it is said to them0 1Ma#e not mischief on the earth,1 they say0 1(hy, we only (ant to ma#e "eace21

12. /f a surety, they are the ones who ma#e mischief, but they realise $it% not.
13. (hen it is said to them0 1'elie)e as the others belie)e01 !hey say0 1Shall we belie)e as the
fools belie)e31 4ay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not #now.

15. Allah will throw bac# their moc#ery on them, and i)e them ro"e in their tres"asses; so
they will wander li#e blind ones $!o and fro%.
16. !hese are they who ha)e bartered Guidance for error0 'ut their traffic is "rofitless, and
they ha)e lost true direction,
17. !heir similitude is that of a man who #indled a fire; when it lihted all around him, Allah
too# away their liht and left them in utter dar#ness. So they could not see.
18. Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return $to the "ath%.
19. /r $another similitude% is that of a rain5laden cloud from the s#y0 In it are 6ones of
dar#ness, and thunder and lihtnin0 !hey "ress their finers in their ears to #ee" out the
stunnin thunder5cla", the while they are in terror of death. 'ut Allah is e)er round the
re-ecters of aith2
20. !he lihtnin all but snatches away their siht; e)ery time the liht $el"s% them, they
wal# therein, and when the dar#ness rows on them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, e
could ta#e away their faculty of hearin and seein; for Allah hath "ower o)er all thins.
21. / ye "eo"le2 Adore your Guardian5&ord, who created you and those who came before

"roduce a Sura li#e thereunto; and call your witnesses or hel"ers $If there are any% besides
Allah, if your $doubts% are true.
24. 'ut if ye cannot5 and of a surety ye cannot5 then fear the ire whose fuel is men and
stones,5 which is "re"ared for those who re-ect aith.
25. 'ut i)e lad tidins to those who belie)e and wor# rihteousness, that their "ortion is
Gardens, beneath which ri)ers flow. 7)ery time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say0
1(hy, this is what we were fed with before,1 for they are i)en thins in similitude; and they
ha)e therein com"anions "ure $and holy%; and they abide therein $for e)er%.
26. Allah disdains not to use the similitude of thins, lowest as well as hihest. !hose who
belie)e #now that it is truth from their ⩝ but those who re-ect aith say0 1(hat means
Allah by this similitude31 'y it e causes many to stray, and many e leads into the riht
"ath; but e causes not to stray, e8ce"t those who forsa#e $the "ath%,5

ordered to be -oined, and do mischief on earth0 !hese cause loss $only% to themsel)es.
28. ow can ye re-ect the faith in Allah.5 seein that ye were without life, and e a)e you

29. It is e (ho hath created for you all thins that are on earth; Moreo)er is desin
com"rehended the hea)ens, for e a)e order and "erfection to the se)en firmaments; and of
all thins e hath "erfect #nowlede.
30. 'ehold, thy &ord said to the anels0 1I will create a )iceerent on earth.1 !hey said0 1(ilt
!hou "lace therein one who will ma#e mischief therein and shed blood35 whilst we do
celebrate !hy "raises and lorify !hy holy $name%31 e said0 1I #now what ye #now not.1
31. And e tauht Adam the nature of all thins; then e "laced them before the anels, and
said0 1!ell me the nature of these if ye are riht.1
32. !hey said0 1Glory to !hee, of #nowlede (e ha)e none, sa)e what !hou ast tauht us0
In truth it is !hou (ho art "erfect in #nowlede and wisdom.1
33. e said0 1/ Adam2 !ell them their natures.1 (hen he had told them, Allah said0 1Did I
not tell you that I #now the secrets of hea)en and earth, and I #now what ye re)eal and what
ye conceal31
34. And behold, (e said to the anels0 1'ow down to Adam1 and they bowed down. 4ot so
Iblis0 he refused and was hauhty0 e was of those who re-ect aith.
35. (e said0 1/ Adam2 dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful thins
therein as $where and when% ye will; but a""roach not this tree, or ye run into harm and
transression.1
36. !hen did Satan ma#e them sli" from the $arden%, and et them out of the state $of
felicity% in which they had been. (e said0 1Get ye down, all $ye "eo"le%, with enmity between
yoursel)es. /n earth will be your dwellin5"lace and your means of li)elihood 5 for a time.1
37. !hen learnt Adam from his &ord words of ins"iration, and his &ord !urned towards him;
for e is /ft5+eturnin, Most Merciful.
38. (e said0 1Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from
me, whosoe)er follows My uidance, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they rie)e.
39. 1'ut those who re-ect aith and belie /ur Sins, they shall be com"anions of the ire;
they shall abide therein.1
40. / Children of Israel2 call to mind the $s"ecial% fa)our which I bestowed u"on you, andfulfil your co)enant with Me as I fulfil My Co)enant with you, and fear none but Me.
57. And (e a)e you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and uails, sayin0
17at of the ood thins (e ha)e "ro)ided for you01 $'ut they rebelled%; to us they did no
harm, but they harmed their own souls.
58. And remember (e said0 17nter this town, and eat of the "lenty therein as ye wish; but
enter the ate with humility, in "osture and in words, and (e shall fori)e you your faults andincrease $the "ortion of% those who do ood.1
59. 'ut the transressors chaned the word from that which had been i)en them; so (e sent
on the transressors a "laue from hea)en, for that they infrined $/ur command% re"eatedly.
60. And remember Moses "rayed for water for his "eo"le; (e said0 1Stri#e the roc# with thy
staff.1 !hen ushed forth therefrom twel)e s"rins. 7ach rou" #new its own "lace for water.
So eat and drin# of the sustenance "ro)ided by Allah, and do no e)il nor mischief on the $face
of the% earth.
61. And remember ye said0 1/ Moses2 we cannot endure one #ind of food $always%; so beseech thy &ord for us to "roduce for us of what the earth roweth, 5its "ot5herbs, and
cucumbers, Its arlic, lentils, and onions.1 e said0 1(ill ye e8chane the better for the
worse3 Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want21 !hey were co)ered with
humiliation and misery; they drew on themsel)es the wrath of Allah. !his because they went
on re-ectin the Sins of Allah and slayin is Messeners without -ust cause. !his because
they rebelled and went on transressin.
62. !hose who belie)e $in the <ur9an%, and those who follow the Jewish $scri"tures%, and the
Christians and the Sabians,5 any who belie)e in Allah and the &ast Day, and wor#
rihteousness, shall ha)e their reward with their ⩝ on them shall be no fear, nor shall they
rie)e.
63. And remember (e too# your co)enant and (e raised abo)e you $!he towerin heiht% of
Mount $Sinai% 0 $Sayin%0 1old firmly to what (e ha)e i)en you and brin $e)er% to
remembrance what is therein0 Perchance ye may fear Allah.1
64. 'ut ye turned bac# thereafter0 ad it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah to you, ye
had surely been amon the lost.
65. And well ye #new those amonst you who transressed in the matter of the Sabbath0 (e
said to them0 1'e ye a"es, des"ised and re-ected.1
66. So (e made it an e8am"le to their own time and to their "osterity, and a lesson to those
who fear Allah.
67. And remember Moses said to his "eo"le0 1$Allah% commands that ye sacrifice a heifer.1
!hey said0 1Ma#est thou a lauhin5stoc# of us31 e said0 1$Allah% sa)e me from bein an
inorant $fool%21
68. !hey said0 1'eseech on our behalf !hy &ord to ma#e "lain to us what $heifer% it is21 e
said; 1e says0 !he heifer should be neither too old nor too youn, but of middlin ae. 4ow
69. !hey said0 1'eseech on our behalf !hy &ord to ma#e "lain to us er colour.1 e said0 1e
says0 A fawn5coloured heifer, "ure and rich in tone, the admiration of beholders21
70. !hey said0 1'eseech on our behalf !hy &ord to ma#e "lain to us what she is0 !o us are all
heifers ali#e0 (e wish indeed for uidance, if Allah wills.1
71. e said0 1e says0 A heifer not trained to till the soil or water the fields; sound and
without blemish.1 !hey said0 14ow hast thou brouht the truth.1 !hen they offered her in
sacrifice, but not with ood5will.
72. +emember ye slew a man and fell into a dis"ute amon yoursel)es as to the crime0 'ut
Allah was to brin forth what ye did hide.
73. So (e said0 1Stri#e the $body% with a "iece of the $heifer%.1 !hus Allah brineth the dead
to life and showeth you is Sins0 Perchance ye may understand.
74. !henceforth were your hearts hardened0 !hey became li#e a roc# and e)en worse inhardness. or amon roc#s there are some from which ri)ers ush forth; others there are
which when s"lit asunder send forth water; and others which sin# for fear of Allah. And Allah
is not unmindful of what ye do.
75. Can ye $o ye men of aith% entertain the ho"e that they will belie)e in you35 Seein that a
"arty of them heard the (ord of Allah, and "er)erted it #nowinly after they understood it.
76. 'ehold2 when they meet the men of aith, they say0 1(e belie)e10 'ut when they meet
each other in "ri)ate, they say0 1Shall you tell them what Allah hath re)ealed to you, that they
may enae you in arument about it before your &ord315 Do ye not understand $their aim%3
77. =now they not that Allah #noweth what they conceal and what they re)eal3
78. And there are amon them illiterates, who #now not the 'oo#, but $see therein their own%
desires, and they do nothin but con-ecture.
79. !hen woe to those who write the 'oo# with their own hands, and then say01!his is from
Allah,1 to traffic with it for miserable "rice25 (oe to them for what their hands do write, and
for the ain they ma#e thereby.
80. And they say0 1!he ire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days01 Say0 1a)e yeta#en a "romise from Allah, for e ne)er brea#s is "romise3 or is it that ye say of Allah
what ye do not #now31
81. 4ay, those who see# ain in e)il, and are irt round by their sins,5 they are com"anions of
the ire0 !herein shall they abide $or e)er%.
82. 'ut those who ha)e faith and wor# rihteousness, they are com"anions of the Garden0
!herein shall they abide $or e)er%.
83. And remember (e too# a co)enant from the Children of Israel $to this effect%0 (orshi"
none but Allah. treat with #indness your "arents and #indred, and or"hans and those in need;
s"ea# fair to the "eo"le; be steadfast in "rayer; and "ractise reular charity. !hen did ye turn
bac#, e8ce"t a few amon you, and ye bac#slide $e)en now%.
84. And remember (e too# your co)enant $to this effect%0 Shed no blood amonst you, nor
turn out your own "eo"le from your homes0 and this ye solemnly ratified, and to this ye can
bear witness.
85. After this it is ye, the same "eo"le, who slay amon yoursel)es, and banish a "arty of you
from their homes; assist $!heir enemies% aainst them, in uilt and rancour; and if they come
to you as ca"ti)es, ye ransom them, thouh it was not lawful for you to banish them. !hen is
it only a "art of the 'oo# that ye belie)e in, and do ye re-ect the rest3 but what is the reward
for those amon you who beha)e li#e this but disrace in this life35 and on the Day of
Judment they shall be consined to the most rie)ous "enalty. or Allah is not unmindful of
what ye do.
86. !hese are the "eo"le who buy the life of this world at the "rice of the ereafter0 their
"enalty shall not be lihtened nor shall they be hel"ed.
87. (e a)e Moses the 'oo# and followed him u" with a succession of a"ostles; (e a)e
Jesus the son of Mary Clear $Sins% and strenthened him with the holy s"irit. Is it that
whene)er there comes to you an a"ostle with what ye yoursel)es desire not, ye are "uffed u"
with "ride35 Some ye called im"ostors, and others ye slay2
88. !hey say, 1/ur hearts are the wra""ins $which "reser)e Allah.s (ord0 we need no
more%.1 4ay, Allah.s curse is on them for their blas"hemy0 &ittle is it they belie)e.
89. And when there comes to them a 'oo# from Allah, confirmin what is with them,5
althouh from of old they had "rayed for )ictory aainst those without aith,5 when there
comes to them that which they $should% ha)e reconised, they refuse to belie)e in it but the
curse of Allah is on those without aith.
90. Miserable is the "rice for which they ha)e sold their souls, in that they deny $the
re)elation% which Allah has sent down, in insolent en)y that Allah of is Grace should send it
to any of is ser)ants e "leases0 !hus ha)e they drawn on themsel)es (rath u"on (rath.
And humiliatin is the "unishment of those who re-ect aith.
91. (hen it is said to them, 1'elie)e in what Allah ath sent down, 1they say, 1(e belie)e in
what was sent down to us01 yet they re-ect all besides, e)en if it be !ruth confirmin what iswith them. Say0 1(hy then ha)e ye slain the "ro"hets of Allah in times one by, if ye did
indeed belie)e31
92. !here came to you Moses with clear $Sins%; yet ye worshi""ed the calf $7)en% after that,
and ye did beha)e wronfully.
93. And remember (e too# your co)enant and (e raised abo)e you $the towerin heiht% of
Mount $Sinai%0 $Sayin%0 1old firmly to what (e ha)e i)en you, and hear#en $to the &aw%10
!hey said01 (e hear, and we disobey01 And they had to drin# into their hearts $of the taint% of
the calf because of their aithlessness. Say0 1>ile indeed are the behests of your aith if ye
159. !hose who conceal the clear $Sins% (e ha)e sent down, and the Guidance, after (e
ha)e made it clear for the "eo"le in the 'oo#,5on them shall be Allah.s curse, and the curse of
those entitled to curse,5
160. 78ce"t those who re"ent and ma#e amends and o"enly declare $the !ruth%0 !o them I
turn; for I am /ft5returnin, Most Merciful.
161. !hose who re-ect aith, and die re-ectin,5 on them is Allah.s curse, and the curse of
anels, and of all man#ind;
162. !hey will abide therein0 !heir "enalty will not be lihtened, nor will res"ite be their $lot%.
163. And your Allah is /ne Allah. !here is no od but e, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
164. 'ehold2 in the creation of the hea)ens and the earth; in the alternation of the niht and
the day; in the sailin of the shi"s throuh the ocean for the "rofit of man#ind; in the rain
which Allah Sends down from the s#ies, and the life which e i)es therewith to an earth thatis dead; in the beasts of all #inds that e scatters throuh the earth; in the chane of the
winds, and the clouds which they !rail li#e their sla)es between the s#y and the earth;5 $ere%
indeed are Sins for a "eo"le that are wise.
165. :et there are men who ta#e $for worshi"% others besides Allah, as eual $with Allah.0
!hey lo)e them as they should lo)e Allah. 'ut those of aith are o)erflowin in their lo)e for
Allah. If only the unrihteous could see, behold, they would see the "enalty0 that to Allah
belons all "ower, and Allah will stronly enforce the "enalty.
166. !hen would those who are followed clear themsel)es of those who follow $them% 0 !hey
would see the "enalty, and all relations between them would be cut off.
167. And those who followed would say0 1If only (e had one more chance, (e would clear
oursel)es of them, as they ha)e cleared themsel)es of us.1 !hus will Allah show them $!he
fruits of% their deeds as $nothin but% rerets. 4or will there be a way for them out of the ire.
168. / ye "eo"le2 7at of what is on earth, &awful and ood; and do not follow the footste"s
of the e)il one, for he is to you an a)owed enemy.
169. or he commands you what is e)il and shameful, and that ye should say of Allah that of
which ye ha)e no #nowlede.
170. (hen it is said to them0 1ollow what Allah hath re)ealed01 !hey say0 14ay2 we shall
follow the ways of our fathers.1 (hat2 e)en thouh their fathers (ere )oid of wisdom and
uidance3
171. !he "arable of those who re-ect aith is as if one were to shout &i#e a oat5herd, to
thins that listen to nothin but calls and cries0 Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are )oid of
wisdom.
172. / ye who belie)e2 7at of the ood thins that (e ha)e "ro)ided for you, and be rateful
173. e hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on
which any other name hath been in)o#ed besides that of Allah. 'ut if one is forced by
necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transressin due limits,5 then is he uiltless. or
Allah is /ft5fori)in Most Merciful.
174. !hose who conceal Allah.s re)elations in the 'oo#, and "urchase for them a miserable "rofit,5 they swallow into themsel)es nauht but ire; Allah will not address them on the Day
of +esurrection. 4or "urify them0 Grie)ous will be their "enalty.
175. !hey are the ones who buy 7rror in "lace of Guidance and !orment in "lace of
ori)eness. Ah2 what boldness $!hey show% for the ire2
176. $!heir doom is% because Allah sent down the 'oo# in truth but those who see# causes of
dis"ute in the 'oo# are in a schism ar $from the "ur"ose%.
177. It is not rihteousness that ye turn your faces !owards east or (est; but it is
rihteousness5 to belie)e in Allah and the &ast Day, and the Anels, and the 'oo#, and theMesseners; to s"end of your substance, out of lo)e for im, for your #in, for or"hans, for the
needy, for the wayfarer, for those who as#, and for the ransom of sla)es; to be steadfast in
"rayer, and "ractice reular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye ha)e made; and to be firm
and "atient, in "ain $or sufferin% and ad)ersity, and throuhout all "eriods of "anic. Such are
the "eo"le of truth, the Allah.fearin.
178. / ye who belie)e2 the law of euality is "rescribed to you in cases of murder0 the free for
the free, the sla)e for the sla)e, the woman for the woman. 'ut if any remission is made by
the brother of the slain, then rant any reasonable demand, and com"ensate him with
handsome ratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your &ord. After this whoe)er
e8ceeds the limits shall be in ra)e "enalty.
179. In the &aw of 7uality there is $sa)in of% &ife to you, o ye men of understandin; that
ye may restrain yoursel)es.
180. It is "rescribed, when death a""roaches any of you, if he lea)e any oods that he ma#e a
beuest to "arents and ne8t of #in, accordin to reasonable usae; this is due from the
Allah.fearin.
181. If anyone chanes the beuest after hearin it, the uilt shall be on those who ma#e the
chane. or Allah hears and #nows $All thins%.
182. 'ut if anyone fears "artiality or wron5doin on the "art of the testator, and ma#es "eace
between $!he "arties concerned%, there is no wron in him0 or Allah is /ft5fori)in, Most
Merciful.
183. / ye who belie)e2 astin is "rescribed to you as it was "rescribed to those before you,
that ye may $learn% self5restraint,5
184. $astin% for a fi8ed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a -ourney, the
"rescribed number $Should be made u"% from days later. or those who can do it $(ith
hardshi"%, is a ransom, the feedin of one that is indient. 'ut he that will i)e more, of hisown free will,5 it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only #new.
185. +amadhan is the $month% in which was sent down the <ur9an, as a uide to man#ind, also
clear $Sins% for uidance and -udment $'etween riht and wron%. So e)ery one of you who
is "resent $at his home% durin that month should s"end it in fastin, but if any one is ill, or on
a -ourney, the "rescribed "eriod $Should be made u"% by days later. Allah intends e)ery
facility for you; e does not want to "ut to difficulties. $e wants you% to com"lete the
"rescribed "eriod, and to lorify im in that e has uided you; and "erchance ye shall berateful.
186. (hen My ser)ants as# thee concernin Me, I am indeed close $to them%0 I listen to the
"rayer of e)ery su""liant when he calleth on Me0 &et them also, with a will, &isten to My call,
and belie)e in Me0 !hat they may wal# in the riht way.
187. Permitted to you, on the niht of the fasts, is the a""roach to your wi)es. !hey are your
arments and ye are their arments. Allah #noweth what ye used to do secretly amon
yoursel)es; but e turned to you and fora)e you; so now associate with them, and see# what
Allah ath ordained for you, and eat and drin#, until the white thread of dawn a""ear to you
distinct from its blac# thread; then com"lete your fast !ill the niht a""ears; but do notassociate with your wi)es while ye are in retreat in the mosues. !hose are &imits $set by%
Allah. A""roach not nih thereto. !hus doth Allah ma#e clear is Sins to men0 that they
may learn self5restraint.
188. And do not eat u" your "ro"erty amon yoursel)es for )anities, nor use it as bait for the
-udes, with intent that ye may eat u" wronfully and #nowinly a little of $other% "eo"le9s
"ro"erty.
189. !hey as# thee concernin the 4ew Moons. Say0 !hey are but sins to mar# fi8ed "eriods
of time in $the affairs of% men, and for Pilrimae. It is no )irtue if ye enter your houses from
the bac#0 It is )irtue if ye fear Allah. 7nter houses throuh the "ro"er doors0 And fear Allah.
!hat ye may "ros"er.
190. iht in the cause of Allah those who fiht you, but do not transress limits; for Allah
lo)eth not transressors.
191. And slay them where)er ye catch them, and turn them out from where they ha)e !urned
you out; for tumult and o""ression are worse than slauhter; but fiht them not at the Sacred
Mosue, unless they $first% fiht you there; but if they fiht you, slay them. Such is the reward
of those who su""ress faith.
192. 'ut if they cease, Allah is /ft5fori)in, Most Merciful.
193. And fiht them on until there is no more !umult or o""ression, and there "re)ail -ustice
and faith in Allah. but if they cease, &et there be no hostility e8ce"t to those who "ractise
