[5:90]
O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of
chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan’s handiwork.
Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed.
[5:91]
Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and
hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance, and to turn you from
remembrance of Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done ?
[5:92]
Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and beware!
But if ye turn away, then know that the duty of Our
messenger is only plain conveyance (of the message).
[5:93]
There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who
believe and do good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be
mindful of your duty (to Allah), and believe, and do good works; and again: be
mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and
do right. Allah loveth the good.
[5:94]
O ye who believe! Allah will surely try you
somewhat (in the matter) of the game which ye take with your hands and your
spears, that Allah may know him who feareth Him in secret. Whoso transgresseth
after this, for him there is a painful doom.
[5:95]
O ye who believe! Kill no wild game while ye are
on the pilgrimage. Whoso of you killeth it of set purpose he shall pay its
forfeit in the equivalent of that which he hath killed, of domestic animals,
the judge to be two men among you known for justice, (the forfeit) to be
brought as an offering to the Ka’bah; or, for expiation, he shall feed poor
persons, or the equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the evil
consequences of his deed. Allah forgiveth whatever (of this kind) may have
happened in the past, but whoso relapseth, Allah will take retribution from
him. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).
