Surat Al-Wasaya ("The Commandments")
(1) Alef Lam Meem Thal* (`th' as in `that')
{alef lam meem thal}
(2) We have sent you for the worlds a bearer with good tidings and a warner,
{Inna Arsalnaka lil-alameena mubash-shiran wa natheera*}
(3) (Authorized) to rule with whatever comes on your mind
in order to take care of things in the proper manner.
{takdee bima yakhturoo bifikrika wa tudabbirool umoora tadbira}
(4) He who shall abide by what you rule shall do good for himself
and he who shall not shall receive from your hands a bitter reward.
{faman amila bima ra'ayta falinafsihee wa man lam ya'mal
falasawfa yalka ala yadyka jaza'an mareera}
(5) We have given Moses before you ten commandments
and We are giving you (many) tens of others
as We have made you the last of the prophets and ordained you
as a prince over all of them.
{inna a'tayna moosa min kablika minal wasi'yatee ashratan
wa nou'teeka asharaten ookhra ith* kad khatamna bikal
anbiya'a wa ja'alnaka alayhem ameera}
(6) You abrogate whatever you wish to abrogate
of the orders We have given them
for We have allowed you to modify any of our decisions.
{fansakh ma laka an tansakha mimma amarnahumoo bihee fakad
samahna laka an tujri'ya ala kararatina tagh'yeera}
(7) Tell my servants who believe to seek refuge when they yawn
in the Beneficent One to prevent Satan from laughing at them
and to magnify Allah when they sneeze.
{Kul li'ibadial latheena* amanoo in tatha'aboo yasta'eethoo*
bir'rahmanee an la yad'haka minhumoo'sh shayatanoo
wal yukab'birool laha in atasoo takbeera}
(8) (And tell them) not to allow dogs in their homes
and not to put pictures on their walls.
{wa an la yaktanoo fee biyoutihem kalban
wa la yada'oo ala heetanihem tasweera}
(9) And if they want to wear shoes
(tell them) to begin with the right one before the left
and if they do not they surely commit a heinous sin.
{wa itha* aradoon ti'alan falyabda'oo bilyameeni kablash'shimalee
wa in lam yaf'aloo fakadik tarafoo thanban* kabeera}
(10) And when they respond to the call of nature
(tell them) to wipe their rear ends with three rocks
and to avoid using dung for We have made it as food for the Jinn
and as such We made it a prohibited matter for the believers.
{wa in tabarrazoo falyamsahoo mu'akhiratihem bihijaraten thalathaten
wa yantahoo anir-rawthee ith* kad ja'alnahoo liljinni ghitha'an*
wa alal mu'mineena amran mahthoora*}
(11) Tell my servants who believe to raid whoever they want
and even to kill in order to secure their provisions
that those amongst them who never raided or never thought about raiding
shall die as hypocrites and shall be denied (in the hereafter).
{kul li'ibadyal latheena* amanoo yaggzoo man aradoo
wa yaktuloo min ajli rizkihem waman lam yaghzoo
aw lam yuhaddethe nafsahoo bighazwen mata munafikan mankoora}
(12) (And tell) those who fear magic to eat seven dates
and Allah shall save them from magic
and keep away from them the evil omen.
{walil latheena* yakhsoona sihran ya'kuloo sab'a ajwaten
yunaj'jihumool lahoo minas'sihree wa yub'idoo
anhumoo sharran mustatira}
(13) Tell my servants if they want to swear
they should swear by Allah as many times as they want.
{kul li'ibadya in aradoo an yahlifoo falyahlifoo billahee
wa la yakhafoo tabtheera*}
(14) And (tell them) to marry of the women who they see good for themselves,
two or three or four, or the captives that their right hands possess,
for We have made religion easy for them.
{wa an yankahoo ma taba lahumoo minan'nisa'ee,
mathnan wa thulatha wa ruba'a aw ma malakat aymanuhumoo
inna ja'alna lahumood deena amran yaseera}
(15) And when you are short of commandments, call Jibril
and he shall come in a hurry as he was ordered.
{wa itha* faraghat min bayna yadykal wasaya fatlub ilayka jibrila
ya'teeka sa'iyan ma'moora}
(16) And if Jibril is busy go to Waraqa Bin Nawfal
and seek help from him before We take his soul
and then the revelation might become a difficult matter for you.
{wa in shughila jibriloo anka fa alayka biwarqata bni nawfala
wastafed minhoo kabla an natawaffahoo fayusbihal
wah'yoo alayka amran aseera}
