In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:29,629
“It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.” (2:177)

7
00:00:29,629 --> 00:00:33,229
“It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.” (2:177)

8
00:00:33,429 --> 00:00:39,229
“It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.” (2:177)

9
00:00:39,229 --> 00:00:47,630
And the angels, the Scripture, and the prophets;

10
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:55,390
And gives wealth, despite love for it, to relatives, orphans,

11
00:00:55,390 --> 00:01:02,270
The needy, the traveler,

12
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:06,510
Those who ask, and for freeing slaves;

13
00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:12,510
And establishes prayer and gives zakat;

14
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:16,510
“It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.” (2:177)

15
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:23,709
And those who are patient in poverty and hardship,

16
00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:29,900
“It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.” (2:177)

17
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:36,909
And those are the righteous.

18
00:02:01,549 --> 00:02:04,590
And the one who passes by you while traveling,

19
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:07,150
And those who ask for food and seek assistance,

20
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:10,110
And in freeing slaves from bondage,

21
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:13,389
And who persevered in performing the prayer within its prescribed limits,

22
00:02:13,389 --> 00:02:17,229
And gave zakat as Allah made it obligatory upon him,

23
00:02:17,229 --> 00:02:21,310
And those who do not break the covenant of Allah after entering into it,

24
00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:24,509
But rather fulfill it and complete it,

25
00:02:24,509 --> 00:02:28,750
And those who restrain themselves in times of financial scarcity,

26
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:30,590
And bodily illness,

27
00:02:30,669 --> 00:02:34,909
And in times of battle against what Allah dislikes for them,

28
00:02:34,909 --> 00:02:38,990
Holding themselves firmly to what He commanded them of His obedience,

29
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:42,990
And those who are steadfast during intense combat in war;

30
00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:46,750
Those are the ones who were true to Allah in their faith,

31
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:49,870
And substantiated their words with their deeds;

32
00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:52,830
And those are the ones who feared Allah's punishment,

33
00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:55,069
So they shunned disobedience to Him,

34
00:02:55,069 --> 00:02:58,669
And feared His warning, so they did not transgress His limits,

35
00:02:58,669 --> 00:03:02,189
And feared Him, so they performed His obligatory duties.

36
00:03:03,139 --> 00:03:05,699
O you who have believed,

37
00:03:05,699 --> 00:03:09,780
“O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.” (2:178)

38
00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:13,300
“O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.” (2:178)

39
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:17,780
And the female for the female.

40
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:21,699
“O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.” (2:178)

41
00:03:21,699 --> 00:03:24,659
Then a suitable follow-up,

42
00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:29,379
And payment to him with kindness.

43
00:03:29,379 --> 00:03:34,500
“O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. He who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.” (2:178)

44
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,060
But whoever transgresses after that,

45
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:41,090
For him is a painful punishment.

46
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:45,330
Prescribed for you, O believers, is legal retribution for those murdered:

47
00:03:45,330 --> 00:03:47,490
That the free is retaliated against for the free,

48
00:03:47,490 --> 00:03:49,250
And the slave for the slave,

49
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:51,569
And the female for the female;

50
00:03:51,650 --> 00:03:56,210
So retribution should not be extended beyond the killer and the perpetrator.

51
00:03:56,210 --> 00:04:01,250
But whoever is pardoned by his brother from what was due to him of capital retribution,

52
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:03,729
In exchange for blood money that he takes from him,

53
00:04:03,729 --> 00:04:06,930
Then a suitable follow-up is required from the one who forgave the blood,

54
00:04:06,930 --> 00:04:09,090
In accordance with what Allah has obligated,

55
00:04:09,090 --> 00:04:14,050
Without demanding of him more than what is rightfully due in the age-classes of the required livestock,

56
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:15,650
Or anything else,

57
00:04:15,650 --> 00:04:19,490
Or burdening him with what Allah has not obligated upon him;

58
00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:23,730
And the killer must pay to him with kindness whatever is due upon him,

59
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:26,449
Without depriving him of any right belonging to him,

60
00:04:26,449 --> 00:04:30,129
Or putting him in need of demanding and pursuing it.

61
00:04:30,129 --> 00:04:35,730
And this ruling that I have decreed—permitting pardon in return for blood money that you take—

62
00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:37,810
Is an alleviation from Me for you,

63
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:42,850
Compared to the burden I placed upon others before you by prohibiting that for them,

64
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:45,250
And a mercy from Me to you.

65
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:49,410
So whoever transgresses what Allah has permitted him after taking the blood money,

66
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:51,490
Out of aggression and wrongdoing,

67
00:04:51,490 --> 00:04:55,500
For him is a painful punishment, which is to be executed.

68
00:04:55,500 --> 00:05:04,910
“And there is life for you in retaliation, O men of understanding, that ye may ward off (evil).” (2:179)

69
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:06,990
And for you, O people of understanding,

70
00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:11,149
In what I have prescribed for you and obligated for some of you against others,

71
00:05:11,149 --> 00:05:14,910
Of retribution regarding lives, wounds, and head injuries,

72
00:05:14,910 --> 00:05:18,029
Is that by which some of you are prevented from killing others,

73
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:20,269
So that you may preserve life thereby;

74
00:05:20,269 --> 00:05:24,269
Thus, there was life for you in My judgment among you through this,

75
00:05:24,269 --> 00:05:29,100
That you might fear retribution and so desist from murder.

76
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:33,100
“It is prescribed for you, when death approacheth one of you, if he leave wealth, that he bequeath unto parents and near relatives in kindness. (This is) a duty for all those who ward off (evil).” (2:180)

77
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:41,660
“It is prescribed for you, when death approacheth one of you, if he leave wealth, that he bequeath unto parents and near relatives in kindness. (This is) a duty for all those who ward off (evil).” (2:180)

78
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:46,779
A duty upon the righteous.

79
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:49,740
Prescribed for you, O believers, is the making of a bequest,

80
00:05:49,740 --> 00:05:53,579
When death approaches one of you, if he leaves behind wealth:

81
00:05:53,579 --> 00:05:58,540
A bequest for parents and near relatives who do not inherit from him,

82
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:02,379
In accordance with what Allah has permitted and allowed regarding bequests,

83
00:06:02,379 --> 00:06:04,779
Not exceeding one-third,

84
00:06:04,779 --> 00:06:08,220
And without the testator intending to wrong his heirs.

85
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:10,220
This has been made obligatory upon you,

86
00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:14,689
And He made it an established duty upon whoever fears Allah.

87
00:06:14,689 --> 00:06:18,449
“And whoso changeth (the will) after he hath heard it - the sin thereof is only upon those who change it. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (2:181)

88
00:06:18,449 --> 00:06:24,129
“And whoso changeth (the will) after he hath heard it - the sin thereof is only upon those who change it. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (2:181)

89
00:06:24,129 --> 00:06:29,939
Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

90
00:06:29,939 --> 00:06:34,819
So whoever alters the bequest made by the testator after it was made appropriately,

91
00:06:34,819 --> 00:06:39,139
The sin of alteration falls solely upon the one who altered his bequest.

92
00:06:39,139 --> 00:06:42,180
Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing of your bequest,

93
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:48,300
All-Knowing of what your chests conceal regarding inclination toward truth and justice.

94
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:53,899
“But he who feareth from a testator some unjust or sinful clause, and maketh peace between the parties, (it shall be) no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (2:182)

95
00:06:53,899 --> 00:07:00,620
“But he who feareth from a testator some unjust or sinful clause, and maketh peace between the parties, (it shall be) no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (2:182)

96
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:06,689
Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

97
00:07:06,689 --> 00:07:11,569
But whoever fears from a testator an unintentional deviation from the truth through an error on his part,

98
00:07:11,569 --> 00:07:14,370
Or that he intentionally commits a sin in his bequest,

99
00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:19,009
By bequeathing to his parents and relatives who do not inherit from him

100
00:07:19,009 --> 00:07:23,649
More than what is permissible for him to bequeath to them from his wealth,

101
00:07:23,649 --> 00:07:28,370
There is no blame upon whoever is present to reconcile between those who were bequeathed to,

102
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:31,730
And the heirs of the deceased, and the deceased himself,

103
00:07:31,730 --> 00:07:34,449
By bidding the dying person to do what is right.

104
00:07:34,449 --> 00:07:40,930
And Allah is Forgiving to the testator for the bias and sin he had contemplated,

105
00:07:40,930 --> 00:07:46,850
Merciful to the reconciler between the testator and the one whom he wished to unfairly deprive in favor of another,

106
00:07:46,850 --> 00:07:49,389
Or commit a sin regarding him.

107
00:07:49,389 --> 00:08:07,379
“O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil);” (2:183)

108
00:08:07,459 --> 00:08:13,139
O you who have believed, prescribed for you is the fasting of the entire month of Ramadan,

109
00:08:13,139 --> 00:08:17,620
Just as it was prescribed for those before you from the People of the Scripture;

110
00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:23,459
For indeed, upon those before us was only prescribed the month of Ramadan,

111
00:08:23,459 --> 00:08:26,740
Exactly like that which was made obligatory upon us.

112
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:34,669
It was prescribed so that you might refrain from eating food, drinking, and marital relations during the time of your fast.

113
00:08:34,669 --> 00:08:39,629
For a limited number of days.

114
00:08:39,629 --> 00:08:49,870
“(Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -” (2:184)

115
00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:56,509
“(Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -” (2:184)

116
00:08:56,509 --> 00:09:02,269
“(Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -” (2:184)

117
00:09:02,269 --> 00:09:11,309
“(Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -” (2:184)

118
00:09:11,309 --> 00:09:17,460
Decreed upon you, O you who have believed, is fasting for a limited number of days,

119
00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:19,940
Which are the days of the month of Ramadan.

120
00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:23,860
So whoever among you is ill among those tasked with fasting,

121
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:26,419
Or was healthy and not ill,

122
00:09:26,419 --> 00:09:28,259
Or was on a journey,

123
00:09:28,419 --> 00:09:33,700
Then he must fast an equal number of days that he broke on other days;

124
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:36,580
And upon those who can only fast with extreme hardship

125
00:09:36,580 --> 00:09:40,740
Is a ransom: feeding a needy person for each day he breaks the fast.

126
00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:44,659
But whoever volunteers good, combining both fasting and paying the ransom,

127
00:09:44,659 --> 00:09:47,860
Or feeding an additional needy person beyond the required ransom,

128
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:49,620
Then it is better for him,

129
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:54,340
Because all of that falls under voluntary good and supererogatory virtue;

130
00:09:54,419 --> 00:09:58,259
And that you fast what has been prescribed for you of the month of Ramadan

131
00:09:58,259 --> 00:10:02,179
Is better for you than breaking your fast and paying a ransom.

132
00:10:02,179 --> 00:10:04,259
And the verse has been abrogated:

133
00:10:04,259 --> 00:10:10,340
If you only knew which of the two matters is better for you, O you who have believed.

134
00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:15,620
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

135
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:18,820
A guidance for the people.

136
00:10:18,820 --> 00:10:27,059
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

137
00:10:27,059 --> 00:10:33,059
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

138
00:10:33,059 --> 00:10:37,539
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

139
00:10:37,539 --> 00:10:41,700
Then an equal number of other days.

140
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,580
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

141
00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:47,139
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

142
00:10:47,139 --> 00:10:51,620
And that you may complete the period,

143
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:55,460
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

144
00:10:55,460 --> 00:10:59,889
And that you may perhaps be grateful.

145
00:10:59,889 --> 00:11:02,370
Decreed upon you is the month of Ramadan,

146
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:07,090
In which the Qur'an was sent down from the Preserved Tablet to the lowest heaven

147
00:11:07,090 --> 00:11:09,250
On the Night of Decree within it,

148
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:13,649
As guidance for mankind to the path of truth and the direct way,

149
00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:18,690
And clear proofs of guidance indicating the boundaries and obligations of Allah,

150
00:11:18,690 --> 00:11:20,850
And His lawful and unlawful matters,

151
00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:23,730
And the criterion between truth and falsehood.

152
00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:28,049
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.” (2:185)

153
00:11:28,049 --> 00:11:32,529
And whoever is ill or on a journey during the month and breaks the fast,

154
00:11:32,529 --> 00:11:36,289
Then upon him is the fasting of an equal number of the days that he broke,

155
00:11:36,289 --> 00:11:40,559
From other days outside the days of the month of Ramadan.

156
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,200
Allah intends for you, O believers, through His granting you this concession,

157
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,159
Ease and facilitation for you,

158
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:51,360
And He does not intend for you hardship and difficulty,

159
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Such that He would burden you with fasting the month in these circumstances,

160
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,259
And make its observance a heavy burden upon you had He compelled you to fast it;

161
00:11:59,259 --> 00:12:03,500
And that you may complete the count of what you broke on other days,

162
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:07,500
And that you may magnify Allah through remembrance and takbir on the Day of Eid al-Fitr

163
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:10,620
For that which He bestowed upon you of guidance,

164
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:14,139
From which others among the religious communities were forsaken,

165
00:12:14,139 --> 00:12:17,659
Those upon whom the fasting of the month of Ramadan was prescribed,

166
00:12:17,659 --> 00:12:21,340
Yet they went astray from it through Allah leaving them to stray,

167
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:24,779
While He singled you out with His honor and guided you to it;

168
00:12:24,779 --> 00:12:28,059
And that you may give thanks to Allah for what He bestowed upon you

169
00:12:28,059 --> 00:12:30,620
Of guidance and success,

170
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:34,860
And easing that which, had He willed, would have been made difficult for you.

171
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:42,379
“And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.” (2:186)

172
00:12:42,379 --> 00:12:48,539
“And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.” (2:186)

173
00:12:48,539 --> 00:12:58,019
So let them respond to Me and believe in Me, that they may be guided aright.

174
00:12:58,019 --> 00:13:02,740
And when My servants ask you, O Muhammad, concerning Me, as to where I am:

175
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,899
Indeed, I am near to them;

176
00:13:04,899 --> 00:13:09,139
I hear their supplication and answer the call of the caller among them.

177
00:13:09,139 --> 00:13:11,700
So let them respond to Me with obedience,

178
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,139
And let them believe in Me, that I will answer them,

179
00:13:15,139 --> 00:13:19,620
And let them be guided thereby through their deeds, so that they may attain right guidance.

180
00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:26,419
“It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not, but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by Allah, so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to mankind that they may ward off (evil).” (2:187)

181
00:13:26,419 --> 00:13:33,299
They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them.

182
00:13:33,299 --> 00:13:40,500
“It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them.

188
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:16,659
And do not cohabit with them while you are observing i'tikaf in the mosques.

189
00:14:16,659 --> 00:14:21,139
“It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them.

191
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:34,289
Permitted for you on the night of the fast is sexual relations;

192
00:14:34,289 --> 00:14:38,929
For your women are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them.

193
00:14:38,929 --> 00:14:43,009
Allah knew that you used to betray yourselves in this regard,

194
00:14:43,009 --> 00:14:46,049
Because they used to eat and drink

195
00:14:46,049 --> 00:14:49,330
And approach their women as long as they had not slept,

196
00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:54,129
But once they slept, they would refrain from food, drink, and approaching women;

197
00:14:54,129 --> 00:14:57,809
So Allah turned to you in repentance and pardoned you.

198
00:14:57,889 --> 00:15:02,769
So now, since I have made lawful for you intimate relations with your wives,

199
00:15:02,769 --> 00:15:08,210
Have intercourse with them during the nights of the month of Ramadan until dawn breaks,

200
00:15:08,210 --> 00:15:14,129
And seek what Allah has decreed for you in your intimacy with them of children and offspring.

201
00:15:14,129 --> 00:15:17,970
And eat during the night in your month of fasting and drink,

202
00:15:17,970 --> 00:15:23,490
And be intimate with your wives, seeking what Allah has decreed for you of offspring,

203
00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:27,889
From the beginning of the night until the light of day appears to you

204
00:15:27,889 --> 00:15:31,730
With the break of dawn from the darkness and blackness of the night.

205
00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:35,490
Then complete the fast until the onset of night,

206
00:15:35,490 --> 00:15:42,690
And do not have intercourse with your wives while you are confining yourselves to the worship of Allah in the mosques.

207
00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:45,570
These things that I have clarified—

208
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:48,289
Of eating, drinking, and sexual intercourse—

209
00:15:48,289 --> 00:15:51,009
And commanded you to avoid:

210
00:15:51,009 --> 00:15:52,529
Do not approach them,

211
00:15:52,529 --> 00:15:58,049
Lest you deserve thereby the punishment deserved by the one who transgresses My limits,

212
00:15:58,049 --> 00:16:01,360
Opposes My command, and commits acts of disobedience against Me.

213
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,799
And just as I have clarified to you, O mankind, My obligatory duties upon you regarding fasting,

214
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:09,759
And made known to you its limits and its times,

215
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:13,600
And what is incumbent upon you concerning it when resident, traveling, or ill,

216
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,919
So likewise do I clarify My rulings, My lawful and My unlawful,

217
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,399
And My boundaries, My commands, and My prohibitions in My Book and My revelation,

218
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:27,039
And through the words of My Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to mankind,

219
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,000
That they may guard against My prohibitions and acts of disobedience,

220
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,470
And avoid My displeasure and My wrath.

221
00:16:33,470 --> 00:16:38,830
“And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion of the property of others wrongfully.” (2:188)

222
00:16:38,830 --> 00:16:45,549
And present it before the judges.

223
00:16:45,549 --> 00:16:55,870
“And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion of the property of others wrongfully.” (2:188)

224
00:16:55,870 --> 00:16:59,629
And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly,

225
00:16:59,629 --> 00:17:02,909
Or take your wealth in dispute before the judges,

226
00:17:02,909 --> 00:17:06,910
In order that you may consume a portion of people's wealth unlawfully,

227
00:17:06,910 --> 00:17:11,150
While you deliberately consume that with full intent and knowledge

228
00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:17,900
That your doing so is an act of disobedience to Allah and a sin.

229
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,900
