But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim garb, ye may hunt and let not the hatred of some people in once shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression and hostility on your part | If ye doubt their truth , detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the beneficiary be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah: if we do, then behold! This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me |

Violate not the sanctity of the symbols of Allah, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the people resorting to the sacred house, seeking of the bounty and good pleasure of their Lord | For such - it is not Allah's will to purify their hearts |
If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but His plan is to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues.
For Allah hath power over all things | And if any fail to judge by the light of what Allah hath revealed, they are No better than wrong-doers |

Say: lawful unto you are all things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained hunting animals to catch in the manner directed to you by Allah: eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in taking account | If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body |
the wrong be upon us! For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between.
Those in whose hearts is a disease - thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them, saying: "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster | And if they turn away, be assured that for some of their crime it is Allah's purpose to punish them |

Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother |
let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: whether it be among those who say "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee.
