Excess

[But] Allāh mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.

He has only forbidden to you dead animals,¹ blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

And their words were not but that they said, "Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess [committed] in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion¹ or say about Allāh except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allāh and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allāh and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allāh is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.

And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allāh as Accountant.

Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allāh.¹ But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

And if Allāh was to hasten for the people the evil [they invoke]¹ as He hastens for them the good, their term would have been ended for them.² But We leave the ones who do not expect the meeting with Us, in their transgression, wandering blindly.

He has only forbidden to you dead animals,¹ blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

And they attribute to Allāh that which they dislike [i.e., daughters], and their tongues assert the lie that they will have the best [from Him]. Assuredly, they will have the Fire, and they will be [therein] neglected.¹

And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.¹

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

And do not kill the soul [i.e., person] which Allāh has forbidden, except by right.¹ And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority,² but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].

[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen [i.e., perished]."

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate
