1 Perfection of Religion in Islam
5:2
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُحِلُّوا۟ شَعَـٰۤىِٕرَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا ٱلشَّهۡرَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ وَلَا ٱلۡهَدۡیَ وَلَا ٱلۡقَلَـٰۤىِٕدَ وَلَاۤ ءَاۤمِّینَ ٱلۡبَیۡتَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ یَبۡتَغُونَ فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَرِضۡوَ ٰنࣰاۚ وَإِذَا حَلَلۡتُمۡ فَٱصۡطَادُوا۟ۚ وَلَا یَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَءَانُ قَوۡمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ أَن تَعۡتَدُوا۟ۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَ ٰنِۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِیدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ۝٢

Believers do not violate the rituals concerning God’s sacraments, the sacred month of pilgrimage, or the offerings, and do not prevent those who are going to the Sacred House from seeking favor, pleasure, and acceptance from their Lord. Once your pilgrimage is over, then you are free to hunt. Never let your hatred for the people who barred you once from the Sacred Sanctuary provoke you to transgress. Help one another in furthering virtue and God-consciousness, and do not encourage one another to commit sin and aggression. Always be mindful of God because His punishment is severe.

You are forbidden to eat the meat of animals found already dead, blood, pork’s meat, or any animal slaughtered in the name of any other than God. Also forbidden is the animal that has been strangled or beaten to death or killed by a fall or gored to death, or what is partly eaten by a predator unless you can still properly slaughter it. You are also forbidden to eat the meat of animals slaughtered before idols. It is forbidden for you to draw lots since this is a deviation (from God’s commands). The unbelievers have lost all hope of you ever forsaking your faith. Do not be afraid of them, but stand in awe of Me. Today I have perfected your faith for you and have shed My grace upon you and have chosen submission [Islam] to be your faith. But whosoever is driven to a sin (what is forbidden) by dire necessity and not by an inclination to disobey; then surely God is the Most Forgiving, the Mercy Giver.

Today, all the good things of life have been made lawful for you. The food of the people of the Book is lawful to you just as your food is lawful to them. Virtuous, believing women are lawful to you as well as virtuous women from the People of the Book, provided that you give them their bridal gifts and marry them-- not taking them as lovers or secret mistresses. The deeds of anyone who rejects faith [in God] will amount to nothing, and in the Hereafter, they will be among the losers.

Believers, when you are about to pray, wash your face, your hands, and arms up to the elbows. Pass your wet hands lightly over your head and wash your feet up to the ankles. After sexual intercourse, purify yourselves. If you are ill, or are traveling, or have just relieved yourself, or have had intimate contact with a woman and cannot find water, then take some pure dust and use it to wipe your face and hands. God does not wish to place any burden on you but wants to make you pure and to perfect His grace on you so that you may be thankful.

God took a pledge from the Children of Israel. We appointed twelve of them as leaders. And God said, “I am with you. If you are regular in prayer, give the purifying alms, and believe in My Messengers and support them and lend God a good loan, I will cleanse you of your bad deeds and admit you into Gardens with flowing rivers. After this, any of you who deny the truth will be far from the right path.”

Messenger, do not be saddened by those who rush to disbelief, those who say “We believe,” and do not have any faith in their hearts. And those from among the Jews who eagerly listen to any lies from those who have never met you. They distort the meaning of the words, taking them out of their context, saying, “If you have already been given this [in your Scriptures], accept it, but if you have not, then be on your guard!” Do not be saddened by them, for if God wills someone to be tempted by evil, you will not be able to do anything for them. These are the ones whose hearts God is not willing to cleanse. They will be disgraced in this world and will have terrible suffering in the Hereafter.

We revealed the Torah with guidance and enlightenment. The prophets, who had submitted to God, judged according to it for the Jews. So did the rabbis and the scholars, all judged according to that part of God’s Book, they were entrusted to preserve, and to which they were witnesses. So do not fear people. Only fear Me. Do not trade my verses for a small profit. Those who do not judge according to what God has revealed are unbelievers.

[Prophet] We sent you the Book, setting forth the Truth, confirming what is available of earlier revelations and with final authority over them. Judge between them following what God has sent down. Do not follow their whims, which deviate from the Truth revealed to you. To each of you, We have assigned a law and a way of life. If God had wanted, He could have made you a single community, but instead, He is testing you using what He has revealed to you. So, be forward with all that is good. You will all return to God, and He will clarify these matters about which you have differed.

Some among the Jews said, “God is tight-fisted!” tied were their fists, and they were cursed for what they said. God’s fists are wide open; He gives as He pleases. What has been revealed to you [Prophet] from your Lord will only cause many of them to be more stubborn in their arrogance and their denial of the truth. We have incited enmity and hatred among the People of the Book until Resurrection Day. Whenever they kindle the fires of war, God extinguishes them, and they work hard at spreading corruption on Earth. God does not love corrupters.

God does not hold you accountable for oaths thoughtlessly sworn, but He will take you to task for earnestly sworn oaths. So, the breaking of an oath must be atoned by feeding ten disabled persons with the same food as you would want for your own family, or by clothing them, or by freeing a slave, and if a person cannot find the means to do this, he will fast for three days. This will be the atonement for your oaths whenever you have sworn [and broken them]. Be careful with your oaths. God makes His messages clear to you so that you may be grateful.

Believers, do not hunt while you are in the state for sanctity. Whoever kills an animal intentionally must compensate by offering an equivalent domestic animal comparable to what he killed as defined by two just men—an offering to be delivered to the Ka’bah. Or, he may atone for his sin by feeding disabled persons or by fasting an equivalent number of days so that he may understand the seriousness of what he has done. God forgives what is past, but if anyone does it again, God will punish him severely. God is Revered and Capable of Revenge.

Believers, when death approaches you, let two just men from among you act as witnesses to the writing of your will. If death approaches you while you are traveling far from home, let two just men from among other people act as witnesses. Take hold of the two men after having prayed and, if you have any doubt in your mind, let each of them swear to God, “We will not sell our word for any price, even if it were for the sake of a near relative. We will not hide God’s testimony, or else We will be counted among the sinful.”

God will say, “Jesus, son of Mary, remember the grace which I bestowed upon you and your mother? How I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit so you could speak from your cradle and as a grown man? [Remember] when I taught you the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel? [Remember] when, with My permission, you fashioned the shape of a bird out of clay, breathed into it, and it became, with My permission, a bird? [Remember] when, with My permission, you healed the blind person and the leper; when, by My permission, you brought the dead back to life? [Remember] when I kept the Children of Israel from harming you when you came to them with all the evidence of the truth. When those of them who were bent on denying the truth said, “This is nothing but deception”?
