And do not consume one another's wealth by unjust means, nor offer it as bribes to the officials in order to consume part of other people's wealth illicitly, while you know.
What does the Qur'an say about consuming others' wealth unjustly?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 2:188 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. In because it names the mechanism - using the courts to take what is not yours - and because the word KNOWINGLY makes it deliberate.
- 02 4:29 O ye who believe, SQUANDER NOT YOUR WEALTH AMONG YOURSELVES IN VANITY, EXCEPT IT BE A TRADE BY MUTUAL CONSENT, and kill not one another. In because it states the exception that defines the rule - mutual consent - and because the prohibition on killing follows in the same sentence.
- 03 4:10 Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow FIRE into their bellies. This verse says those who wrongfully devour the wealth of orphans swallow fire into their bellies and will burn in flame. It also appears in What does the Qur'an say about caring for the poor and the orphan?
- 04 9:34 Many of the rabbis and the monks DEVOUR THE WEALTH OF MANKIND WANTONLY and debar men from the way of God. In because it applies the identical verb to religious authority, which is the case a reader is least likely to supply.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Qur'an uses one verb for this and uses it consistently: to EAT or DEVOUR someone's property. All four translators keep the image.
2:188 is the fullest and the most modern-sounding. Do not eat up your property among yourselves in vanity - and then the specific: "nor present it to the judges" (Palmer) so that you may knowingly devour a portion of other people's property wrongfully. That is a description of using legal process, and money, to take what you know is not yours. The word KNOWINGLY is in the verse.
4:29 gives the rule its boundary, and the boundary is the useful part: do not consume each other's wealth in vanity, EXCEPT IT BE A TRADE BY MUTUAL CONSENT. Consent is what makes a transfer legitimate. And then, in the same sentence and without a break, AND KILL NOT ONE ANOTHER - the text treats taking a person's livelihood and taking their life as belonging together.
Two verses show the extremes of who does it. 4:10: those who devour the property of ORPHANS swallow fire into their bellies. 9:34: many of the RABBIS AND MONKS devour the wealth of mankind wantonly. The most defenceless victim and the most trusted perpetrator, in the same vocabulary.
What this study does not cover is riba, which is its own study (Does the Qur'an forbid interest (riba)?), nor honest weights, which is What does the Qur'an say about honesty in weight and measure?, nor theft, which is theft. This one is about taking by means that look lawful.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 2:188, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

Permitted for you is intercourse with your wives on the night of the fast. They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray yourselves, but He turned to you and pardoned you. So approach them now, and seek what God has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white streak of dawn can be distinguished from the black streak. Then complete the fast until nightfall. But do not approach them while you are in retreat at the mosques. These are the limits of God, so do not come near them. God thus clarifies His revelations to the people, that they may attain piety.
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)
Lawful for you on the night of the fast is commerce with your wives; they are a garment unto you, and ye a garment unto them. God knows that ye did defraud yourselves, wherefore He has turned towards you and forgiven you; so now go in unto them and crave what God has prescribed for you, and eat and drink until a white thread can be distinguished by you from a black one at the dawn. Then fulfil the fast until the night, and go not in unto them, and ye at your devotions in the mosques the while. These are the bounds that God has set, so draw not near thereto. Thus does God make manifest His signs to men, that haply they may fear
You are allowed on the night of the fast to approach your wives: they are your garment and ye are their garment. God knoweth that ye defraud yourselves therein, so He turneth unto you and forgiveth you! Now, therefore, go in unto them with full desire for that which God hath ordained for you; and eat and drink until ye can discern a white thread from a black thread by the daybreak: then fast strictly till night, and go not in unto them, but rather pass the time in the Mosques. These are the bounds set up by God: therefore come not near them. Thus God maketh his signs clear to men that they may fear Him
It is lawful for you on the night of the fast to go in unto your wives; they are a garment unto you, and ye are a garment unto them.

These are the prescribed bounds of God, therefore draw not near them to transgress them. Thus God declareth his signs unto men, that they may fear him

They ask you about the crescents. Say, "They are timetables for people, and for the Hajj." It is not virtuous that you approach homes from their backs, but virtue is to be pious. So approach homes from their doors, and observe God, that you may succeed.
They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful
They will ask thee about the phases of the moon; say, 'They are indications of time for men and for the pilgrimage.' And it is not righteousness that ye should enter into your houses from behind them, but righteousness is he who fears; so enter into your houses by the doors thereof and fear God; haply ye may prosper yet
They will ask thee of the new moons. SAY: They are periods fixed for man's service and for the Pilgrimage. There is no piety in entering your houses at the back, but piety consists in the fear of God. Enter your houses then by their doors; and fear God that it may be well with you
They will ask thee concerning the phases of the moon: Answer, they are times appointed unto men, and to shew the season of the pilgrimage to Mecca. It is not righteousness that ye enter your houses by the back parts thereof, but righteousness is of him who feareth God. Therefore enter your houses by their doors; and fear God, that ye may be happy

ჰეი, თქვენ, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! ნუ ჭამთ ერთმანეთის ქონებას უსამართლოდ [მევახშეობით, აზარტული თამაშებით, მოტყუებით, ქურდობით და სხვა გზებით], გარდა იმ შემთხვევისა, თუ ეს არის ვაჭრობა ურთიერთშეთანხმებით თქვენ შორის. და ნუ მოიკლავთ საკუთარ თავს. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი თქვენდამი მოწყალეა!
O die ihr glaubt, zehrt nicht euren Besitz untereinander auf nichtige Weise auf, es sei denn, dass es sich um einen Handel in gegenseitigem Einvernehmen handelt. Und tötet euch nicht selbst (und auch nicht gegenseitig). Wahrlich, Allah ist barmherzig euch gegenüber.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Μην κατατρώτε την περιουσία σας ανάμεσά σας (ο ένας του άλλου) άδικα, εκτός αν είναι από εμπόριο μεταξύ σας (με δίκαιο τρόπο και) με αμοιβαία συναίνεση. Και μη σκοτώνετε τους εαυτούς σας (δηλ. μη σκοτώνετε ο ένας τον άλλον, ούτε να αυτοκτονείτε, ούτε να ρίξετε τον εαυτό σας στην καταστροφή). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Πολυεύσπλαχνος για σας.
ऐ ईमान वालो! आपस में एक-दूसरे का धन अवैध रूप से न खाओ, सिवाय इसके कि वह तुम्हारी आपसी सहमति से कोई व्यापार हो। तथा अपने आपको क़त्ल[27] न करो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह तुमपर अति दयावान् है।
O credenti, non consumate tutti i vostri beni tra di voi, ingiustamente, tranne nel caso di un commercio di comune accordo. E non uccidete voi stessi: Allāh è in verità Misericordioso con voi.
29. O jūs, kurie tikite! Nerykite savo nuosavybės tarp savęs neteisingai, išskyrus, jei tai sandoris tarp jūsų, abipusiu sutikimu. Ir nežudykite savęs (ir nežudykite vienas kito). Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Gailestingiausiasis jums.

О вы, которые уверовали! Не присваивайте имущество друг друга неправым путём, разве что это будет торговля по взаимному согласию между вами. И не убивайте самих себя. Воистину, Аллах всегда был [и пребудет] к вам милующим.
О ви који верујете, једни од других на недозвољен начин имања не присвајајте, осим трговином уз обострани пристанак, и сами себе не убијајте. Аллах је, заиста, према вама милостив.
Enyi mlioamini! Msizile mali zenu baina yenu kwa batili, isipokuwa ikiwa ni biashara kwa kuridhiana wenyewe. Wala msijiue. Hakika, Mwenyezi Mungu kwenu ni Mrehemevu.
Troende! Tillskansa er inte varandras egendom med orätt, utan endast genom handel grundad på ömsesidigt samtycke. Och ta inte era liv! Gud är barmhärtig mot er.
Ey iman edenler! Mallarınızı aranızda batıl yollarla yemeyin. Ancak karşılıklı rıza ile yapılan ticaretle olursa başka. Kendinizi helâk etmeyin. Şüphesiz Allah, size karşı çok merhametlidir.

The translators word this verse differently
Those who are concerned about the fate of their weak children, in case they leave them behind, should fear God, and speak appropriate words.
And let those fear (in their behaviour toward orphans) who if they left behind them weak offspring would be afraid for them. So let them mind their duty to Allah, and speak justly
And let these fear lest they leave behind them a weak seed, for whom they would be afraid; and let them fear God, and speak a straightforward speech
And let those be afraid to wrong the orphans, who, should they leave behind them weakly offspring, would be solicitous on their account. Let them, therefore, fear God, and let them propose what is right
And let those fear to abuse orphans, who if they leave behind them a weak off-spring, are sollicitous for them: let them therefore fear God, and speak that which is convenient

If there is only one, she gets one-half. As for the parents, each gets one-sixth of what he leaves, if he had children.

Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two, then theirs is two-thirds of the inheritance, and if there be one (only) then the half. And to each of his parents a sixth of the inheritance, if he have a son; and if he have no son and his parents are his heirs, then to his mother appertaineth the third; and if he have brethren, then to his mother appertaineth the sixth, after any legacy he may have bequeathed, or debt (hath been paid). Your parents and your children: Ye know not which of them is nearer unto you in usefulness. It is an injunction from Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise
God instructs you concerning your children; for a male the like of the portion of two females, and if there be women above two, then let them have two-thirds of what (the deceased) leaves; and if there be but one, then let her have a half; and as to the parents, to each of them a sixth of what he leaves, if he has a son; but if he have no son, and his parents inherit, then let his mother have a third, and if he have brethren, let his mother have a sixth after payment of the bequest he bequeaths and of his debt. Your parents or your children, ye know not which of them is nearest to you in usefulness: - an ordinance this from God; verily, God is knowing and wise
With regard to your children, God commandeth you to give the male the portion of two females; and if they be females more than two, then they shall have two-thirds of that which their father hath left: but if she be an only daughter, she shall have the half; and the father and mother of the deceased shall each of them have a sixth part of what he hath left, if he have a child; but if he have no child, and his parents be his heirs, then his mother shall have the third: and if he have brethren, his mother shall have the sixth, after paying the bequests he shall have bequeathed, and his debts. As to your fathers, or your children, ye know not which of them is the most advantageous to you. This is the law of God. Verily, God is Knowing, Wise
God hath thus commanded you concerning your children. A male shall have as much as the share of two females: But if they be females only, and above two in number, they shall have two third parts of what the deceased shall leave; and if there be but one, she shall have the half. And the parents of the deceased shall have each of them a sixth part of what he shall leave, if he have a child: But if he have no child, and his parents be his heirs, then his mother shall have the third part.

And if a man or a woman have a distant heir (having left neither parent nor child), and he (or she) have a brother or a sister (only on the mother's side) then to each of them twain (the brother and the sister) the sixth, and if they be more than two, then they shall be sharers in the third, after any legacy that may have been bequeathed or debt (contracted) not injuring (the heirs by willing away more than a third of the heritage) hath been paid. A commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower, Indulgent
And ye shall have half of what your wives leave, if they have no son; but if they have a son, then ye shall have a fourth of what they leave, after payment of the bequests they bequeath or of their debts. And they shall have a fourth of what ye leave, if ye have no son; but if ye have a son, then let them have an eighth of what ye leave, after payment of the bequest ye bequeath and of your debts. And if the man's or the woman's (property) be inherited by a kinsman who is neither parent nor child, and he have a brother or sister, then let each of these two have a sixth; but if they are more than that, let them share in a third after payment of the bequest he bequeaths and of his debts, without prejudice, - an ordinance this from God, and God is knowing and clement
Half of what your wives leave shall be your's, if they have no issue; but if they have issue, then a fourth of what they leave shall be your's, after paying the bequests they shall bequeath, and debts. And your wives shall have a fourth part of what ye leave, if ye have no issue; but if ye have issue, then they shall have an eighth part of what ye leave, after paying the bequests ye shall bequeath, and debts. If a man or a woman make a distant relation their heir, and he or she have a brother or a sister, each of these two shall have a sixth; but if there are more than this, then shall they be sharers in a third, after payment of the bequests he shall have bequeathed, and debts, Without loss to any one. This is the ordinance of God, and God is Knowing, Gracious
Moreover ye may claim half of what your wives shall leave, if they have no issue; but if they have issue, then ye shall have the fourth part of what they shall leave, after the legacies which they shall bequeath, and the debts be paid. They also shall have the fourth part of what ye shall leave, in case ye have no issue; but if ye have issue, then they shall have the eighth part of what ye shall leave, after the legacies which ye shall bequeath, and your debts be paid. And if a man or woman's substance be inherited by a distant relation, and he or she have a brother or sister; each of them two shall have a sixth part of the estate. But if there be more than this number, they shall be equal sharers in a third part, after payment of the legacies which shall be bequeathed, and the debts, without prejudice to the heirs. This is an ordinance from God: And God is knowing and gracious

O ye who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Πράγματι, υπάρχουν πολλοί από τους ραβίνους και τους μοναχούς που καταναλώνουν άδικα τα πλούτη των ανθρώπων και εμποδίζουν τους ανθρώπους από το δρόμο του Αλλάχ. Όσο γι' εκείνους που συσσωρεύουν το χρυσό και το ασήμι και δεν ξοδεύουν απ' αυτά στο δρόμο του Αλλάχ (δηλ. δε δίνουν τη Ζακά -ετήσια υποχρεωτική ελεημοσύνη-), ανάγγειλε τους (ω, Προφήτη) ότι θα έχουν οδυνηρό μαρτύριο (την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως).

O credenti, in verità molti tra i rabbini e i preti ﴿الْأَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ﴾ mangiano ingiustamente i beni della gente e sbarrano la via di Allāh ﴿لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ﴾. E a quelli che accumulano oro e argento e non lo spendono per la causa di Allāh, annuncia che avranno una dura punizione.

Allaho religijos islamiškojo monoteizmo). O tiems, kurie slepia auksą ir sidabrą [Al-Kanz: pinigus, nuo kurių nebuvo sumokėtas Zakat] ir leidžia juos ne vardan Allaho, paskelbk jiems skausmingą kančią.

О вы, которые уверовали! Воистину, многие из учёных мужей и монахов пожирают имущество людей неправым путём и отвращают от пути Аллаха. Те, которые накапливают золото и серебро и не расходуют это на пути Аллаха, — обрадуй их вестью о мучительном наказании.

Troende! Många rabbiner och munkar lägger beslag på folks ägodelar på orättmätiga sätt och avleder från Guds väg. De som samlar på sig rikedomar av guld och silver, men inte spenderar från dem i Guds väg – ge dem besked om ett smärtsamt straff

The number of months, according to God, is twelve months-in the decree of God-since the Day He created the heavens and the earth, of which four are sacred. This is the correct religion. So do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight the polytheists collectively, as they fight you collectively, and know that God is with the righteous.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 2:188, 4:29, 4:10, 9:34, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - devour + wealth + among + yourselves; squander + wealth + vanity; eat + up + property + vanity; wealth + among + yourselves + wrongfully; bribe + judges. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
Correction record, 2026-09-17. At 4:10, a claim about the Arabic verb was removed, and so was a ranking of this verse above others that it cannot show. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged.
