The Majestic Quran

and those you don’t, to travellers and to the slaves you own. God dislikes the arrogant and the boastful; 37 and those who are miserly and advise others to be miserly, hiding His favours that God has blessed them with – for the disbelievers – We have prepared a humiliating punishment. 38 Those who spend their wealth to show off; they don’t believe in God and the Last Day. Anyone who has made a close friend of Satan has taken an evil friend! T M r J D 39 What harm would it do them if they believed in God and the Last Day and spent in charity from what God has provided them? God knows them well. 40 God wrongs no one , not even an atom’s weight; and if it is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives an immense reward. 41 How will they react when We bring a witness from every nation and then We bring you, Muhammad , as a witness against them all? 42 That day the disbelievers and those who disobeyed the Messenger will wish that the Earth would swallow them up; and they won’t be able to hide from God anything they had spoken. R 43 Believers, don’t come to the prayer whilst you are drunk stay away until you know what you are saying ; 11 nor when you are in the state of major ritual impurity, and when on a journey, 12 until you have bathed yourselves. However , if you are ill or on a journey, or if you have relieved yourself or had sexual intercourse with your spouse , and you cannot find water, then purify yourselves with some clean sand, wiping your faces and forearms . 13 God is Pardoner, Forgiver. E J M 44 Haven’t you seen those given a portion of the Book, how they swap it for error, wishing you stray from the path? 45 God is aware of your enemies; and God is sufficient as a Protector and a Helper. 46 Some of the Jews deliberately misquote the words of revelation , saying, “We hear and disobey,” and, “Listen like a deaf man,” and, “Look to us, ” 14 twisting the words with their tongues to insult the religion. If only they had said: “We hear and obey,” and, “Listen and look out for us,” that would be far better and proper for them. However, God deprives them of his kindness because of their disbelief, and only a few of them truly believe.
