The Majestic Quran

understanding will appreciate that in the law of retribution there is a means for preserving life, so you›re stopped from being unfair. I 180 Also prescribed for you is the writing of a will : when death approaches any of you, who is leaving behind wealth, let him prepare a will in favour of parents and close relatives in accordance with best practice; this is a duty upon those who are mindful of God . 181 If any witness , after hearing the terms , alters them then they – and they alone – has committed a sin. God is the Hearer, the Knower. 182 Anyone who suspects that a testato r 34 has made a mistake intentionally or unintentionally, and tries to put things right between the parties, commits no sin in doing so. God is the Forgiving, the Kind. T R 183 Believers, fasting has been compulsory for you as it was made compulsory for those before you so you become mindful of God . 184 Fast for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey then let him fast an equivalent number of days later . The obligatory compensation on those who do not fast, is to feed a needy person, if they can afford it. However, anyone who voluntarily does good will benefit from that, but to fast would be better for you, if you knew. T Q R 185 The Quran was revealed in the month of Ramadan; the Quran is a guidance for people, it contains clear teachings and distinguishes right from wrong ; whoever is present in the month must fast in it, but, if anyone is ill or on a journey, then let them fast an equivalent number of days later . God wants ease for you, not difficulty, and wants to see you complete the compulsory number of fasts. So, glorify God for guiding you, and be ever- thankful. G 186 If My servants ask you about Me, tell them that I am near, I answer the prayer of the prayerful whenever he prays to Me. So, let them obey Me, and believe in Me so they may be guided. A R
