[4:93] 
Whoever kills a believer deliberately, his reward is Jahannam (Hell) where he shall remain forever, and Allah shall be
angry with him and shall cast curse upon him, and He has prepared for him a mighty punishment.

[4:94]
O you who believe, when you go out in the way of Allah, be careful, and do not say to the one who offers you the Salam
(saLutation), .You are not a believer. to seek stuff of the worldly life. So, with Allah there are spoils in abundance. In the
same state you were before; then Allah favored you. So, be careful. Surely, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

[4:95]
Those among the believers who sit back, except the handicapped, are not equal to those who fight in the way of Allah
with their riches and their lives. Allah has raised the rank of those who fight with their riches and their lives, over those
who sit; and to each, Allah has promised good. Allah has given precedence to those who fight over those who sit in
giving them a great reward

[4:96]
— high ranks from Him and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.

[4:97]
Those whose souls the angels take while they had wronged themselves, the angels say (to them), .In what business were
you (involved)?. They say, .We were oppressed in the earth.. They say, .Was not the earth of Allah wide enough for you
to emigrate to it?. Those people are such that their refuge is Jahannam . It is an evil place to return;

[4:98]
except the oppressed men and women and children, who cannot have means (to emigrate), nor can find a way.

[4:99]
As for such, it is likely that Allah would pardon them. Allah is Most-Pardoning, Most-Forgiving.

[4:100]
Whoever migrates in the way of Allah shall find on the earth many a place to settle, and a wide dimension (of
resources). Whoever leaves his home migrating for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, then,
his reward is established with Allah. Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.

[4:101]
When you travel on the earth, there is no sin on you in shortening your Salah, if you fear that the disbelievers would put
you in trouble. Surely, the disbelievers are an open enemy for you.

[4:102]
When you (O prophet) are in their midst, and arrange for them the Salah, then, a party from them should stand with
you, and should take their arms along. Then, once they performed Sajdah, they should move away from you, and the
other party, that has not yet performed Salah, should come and perform Salah with you, and should take their
precautionary measures and their arms. Those who disbelieve would want you to become heedless to your arms and
your belongings, so that they come down upon you in a single move. There is no sin on you, if you have some
inconvenience due to rain, or you are sick, in putting your arms aside, but take your precautionary measures. Surely,
Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.

[4:103]
Once you have finished your Salah, then, remember Allah while standing, sitting and reclining. As soon as you are
secure, perform Salah as due. Surely, Salah is an obligation on the believers that is tied up with time.

[4:104]
Do not show weakness in pursuing these people. If you are suffering, they are suffering as you are suffering, while you
hope from Allah what they do not hope. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

[4:105]
Surely, We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, so that you may judge between people according to what
Allah has shown you. Do not be an advocate for those who breach trust.

[4:106]
Seek forgiveness from Allah. Surely, Allah is All-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.

[4:107]
Do not argue on behalf of those who betray themselves. Surely, Allah does not like anyone who is a sinful betrayer.

[4:108]
They feel shy before people, but do not feel shy before Allah. He (Allah) is with them when they make plans at night to
give a statement He (Allah) does not like. Allah encompasses whatever they do.

[4:109]
Look, this is what you are! You have argued for them in the worldly life, but who shall argue for them with Allah on the
Day of Judgement, or who shall be their defender?

[4:110]
Whoever acts evil or wrongs himself, then seeks forgiveness from Allah, shall find Allah Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.

[4:111]
Whoever commits a sin, commits it only against himself. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

[4:112]
Whoever commits a vice or a sin, then shifts its blame to an innocent person, he indeed takes the burden of a false
imputation and a glaring sin.

[4:113]
If the grace of Allah and His mercy had not been with you, a group from them had resolved to mislead you, while they
mislead none but themselves; and they can do you no harm. Allah has revealed to you the Book and the wisdom, and
has taught you what you did not know. The grace of Allah on you has always been great.

[4:114]
There is no good in most of their whisperings, unless one bids charity or a fair action, or reconciliation between people.
The one who does this, to seek Allah‘s pleasure, We shall give him a great reward.

[4:115]
Whoever breaks away with the Messenger after the right path has become clear to him, and follows what is not the way
of the believers, We shall let him have what he chose, and We shall admit him to Jahannam, which is an evil place to
return.

[4:116]
Surely, Allah does not forgive that a partner is ascribed to Him, and forgives anything short of that for whomsoever He
wills. Whoever ascribes a partner to Allah has indeed gone far astray.

[4:117]
They invoke none, besides Him, but feminine objects; and they invoke none but Satan, the rebel

[4:118]
whom Allah has cursed. He (the Satan) said, .Surely I will take an appointed share from Your slaves,

[4:119]
and I will lead them astray, and I will tempt them with false hopes, and I will command them, whereby they shall slit the
ears of cattle, and I will command them, whereby they shall alter the creation of Allah.. Whoever takes the Satan for
friend, instead of Allah, incurs an obvious loss.

[4:120]
He (the Satan) makes promises to them, and he tempts them with hopes. The Satan does not make a promise to them
but to deceive.

[4:121]
As for such people, their refuge is Jahannam, and they shall find no escape from it.

[4:122]
Those who believe and do good deeds, We shall admit them to the gardens beneath which rivers flow. They shall live
there forever, it being a real promise from Allah; and who is more truthful than Allah in his word?

[4:123]
This is not (a matter of) your fancies or the fancies of the People of the Book. Whoever does evil shall be requited for it,
and he shall find neither a friend for himself, besides Allah, nor a helper.

[4:124]
Whoever, male or female, does good deeds and is a believer, then such people shall enter Paradise, and they shall not
be wronged in the least.

[4:125]
Who is better in Faith than one who has surrendered his self to Allah and is good in deeds, and has followed the creed
of Ibrahim, the upright. Allah has made Ibrahim a friend.

[4:126]
To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Allah encompasses every thing.

[4:127]
They ask you about women. Say, .Allah answers you about them, and so does what is recited to you from the Book
regarding orphaned women whom you do not give what is prescribed for them and tend to marry them, and regarding
the weak from the children, and that you should maintain justice for the orphans. Whatever good you do Allah is aware
of it.

[4:128]
If a woman fears ill treatment or aversion from her husband, then, there is no sin on them in entering into a
compromise between them. Compromise is better. Avarice is made to be present in human souls. If you do good and
fear Allah, then, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

[4:129]
You shall never be able to maintain real equality between wives, even though you are eager to. So, do not lean totally
(towards one) and leave the other as suspended. If you act righteously and fear Allah, then, Allah is Most-Forgiving,
Very-Merciful.

[4:130]
If they separate, Allah shall, through His capacity, make each of them need-free (of the other). Allah is All-Embracing,
All-Wise.

[4:131]
To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. We have ordered those who were given the Book
before you, and (ordered) you yourselves to fear Allah. If you disbelieve, then, surely to Allah belongs what is in the
heavens and what is in the earth. Allah is All-Independent, Ever-Praised.

[4:132]
To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and Allah is enough to trust in.

[4:133]
If He so wills, He can remove you, O men, and bring others (in your place). Allah has the power to do that.

[4:134]
Whoever seeks the reward of this world, then, with Allah is the reward of this world and of the Hereafter. Allah is All-
Hearing, All-Seeing.

[4:135]
O you who believe, be upholders of justice - witnesses for Allah, even though against (the interest of) your selves or the
parents, and the kinsmen. One may be rich or poor, Allah is better caretaker of both. So do not follow desires, lest you
should swerve. If you twist or avoid (the evidence), then, Allah is all-aware of what you do.

[4:136]
O you who believe, do believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the Book He has revealed to His Messenger and in the
Books He has revealed earlier. Whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and the
Last Day has indeed gone far astray.

[4:137]
Surely, those who believed and then disbelieved, believed again and then disbelieved, then went on increasing in their
disbelief - Allah is not to forgive them nor lead them on the path.

[4:138]
Give the hypocrites the =good news‘ that for them there is a painful punishment

[4:139]
- those who take the disbelievers for friends rather than the believers. Are they seeking honor in their company? But,
indeed, all honor belongs to Allah,

[4:140]
and He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah being disbelieved and ridiculed, you
should not sit with them unless they enter into some other discourse. You, in that case, would be like them. Surely, Allah
is to gather all hypocrites and disbelievers in Jahannam .

[4:141]
- those who look for (a misfortune for) you, so, if there is a victory for you, they say, .Were we not with you?. But if
there is a gain for the disbelievers, they say (to them), .Had we not overpowered you, still protected you from the
believers?. So, Allah will decide between you on the Doomsday. Allah shall never give the disbelievers a way against the
believers.

[4:142]
Surely, the hypocrites (try to) deceive Allah while He is the One who leaves them in deception. And when they stand for
Salah, they stand up lazily, only to show people, and do not remember Allah but a little,

[4:143]
wavering between (this and) that, neither here nor there. Whomsoever Allah lets go astray, you shall never find a way
for him.

[4:144]
O you who believe, do not take the disbelievers for friends instead of the believers. Do you want to produce before
Allah a clear evidence against yourselves?

[4:145]
Surely, the hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire, and you shall never find for them a helper

[4:146]
- except those who repent and correct themselves and hold on to Allah and make their Faith pure for Allah. So, those
are with the believers, and Allah will give the believers a great reward.

[4:147]
What would Allah get by punishing you, if you are grateful and believe? Allah is Appreciating, All-Knowing.

[4:148]
Allah does not like the evil words to be said openly except from anyone wronged. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

[4:149]
If you do a good act openly or do it in secret, or forgive an evil deed, then, Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Powerful.

[4:150]
Surely those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers, and wish to make division between Allah and His Messengers,
and say, .We believe in some (messengers) and disbelieve in some others. and wish to take a way in between that,__

[4:151]
__ those are the disbelievers in reality, and We have prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers.

[4:152]
Those who have believed in Allah and His Messengers, and have made no division between any of them, to them He will
give their rewards.
Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
