Talal Itani· published 2012
O you who believe! When you incur debt among yourselves for a certain period of time, write it down. And have a scribe write in your presence, in all fairness. And let no scribe refuse to write, as God has taught him. So let him write, and let the debtor dictate. And let him fear God, his Lord, and diminish nothing from it. But if the debtor is mentallydeficient, or weak, or unable to dictate, then let his guardian dictate with honesty. And call to witness two men from among you. If two men are not available, then one man and two women whose testimony is acceptable to all-if one of them fails to remember, the other would remind her. Witnesses must not refuse when called upon. And do not think it too trivial to write down, whether small or large, including the time of repayment. That is more equitable with God, and stronger as evidence, and more likely to prevent doubt-except in the case of a spot transaction between you-then there is no blame on you if you do not write it down. And let there be witnesses whenever you conclude a contract, and let no harm be done to either scribe or witness. If you do that, it is corruption on your part. And fear God. God teaches you. God is aware of everything.

O ye who believe! When ye contract a debt for a fixed term, record it in writing. Let a scribe record it in writing between you in (terms of) equity. No scribe should refuse to write as Allah hath taught him, so let him write, and let him who incurreth the debt dictate, and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord, and diminish naught thereof. But if he who oweth the debt is of lowunderstanding, or weak, or unable himself to dictate, then let the guardian of his interests dictate in (terms of) equity. And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not (at hand) then a man and two women, of such as ye approve as witnesses, so that if the one erreth (through forgetfulness) the other will remember. And the witnesses must not refuse when they are summoned. Be not averse to writing down (the contract) whether it be small or great, with (record of) the term thereof. That is more equitable in the sight of Allah and more sure for testimony, and the best way of avoiding doubt between you; save only in the case when it is actualmerchandise which ye transfer among yourselves from hand to hand. In that case it is no sin for you if ye write it not. And have witnesses when ye sell one to another, and let no harm be done to scribe or witness. If ye do (harm to them) lo! it is a sin in you. Observe your duty to Allah. Allah is teaching you. And Allah is knower of all things

O ye who believe! if ye engage to one another in a debt for a stated time, then write it down, and let a scribe write it down between you faithfully; nor let a scribe refuse to write as God taught him, but let him write, and let him who owes dictate; but let him fear God his Lord, and not diminish therefrom aught; but if he who owes be a fool, or weak, or cannot dictate himself, then let his agent dictate faithfully, and let them call two witnesses out from amongst their men; or if there be not two men, then a man and two women, from those whom he chooses for witnesses, so that if one of the two should err, the second of the two may remind the other; and let not the witnesses refuse when they are summoned; and let them not tire of writing it, be it small or great, with its time of payment. That is more just in the sight of God, and more upright for testimony, and brings you nearer to not doubting. Unless, indeed, it be a ready-money transaction between you, which ye arrange between yourselves, then it is no crime against you that ye do not write it down; but bring witnesses to what ye sell one to another, and let not either scribe or witness come to harm, for if ye do it will be abomination in you; but fear God, for God teaches you, and God knows all things

O ye who believe! when ye contract a debt (payable) at a fixed date, write it down, and let the notary faithfully note between you: and let not the notary refuse to note, even as God hath taught him; but let him note it down, and let him who oweth the debt dictate, and let him fear God his Lord, and not diminish aught thereof. But if he who oweth the debt be foolish or weak, or be not able to dictate himself, let his friend dictate for him with fairness; and call to witness two witnesses of your people: but if there be not two men, let there be a man, and two women of those whom ye shall judgefit for witnesses: if the one of them should mistake, the other may cause her to recollect. And the witnesses shall not refuse, whenever they shall be summoned. And disdain not to put the debt in writing, be it large or small, with its time of payment: this will be more just for you in the sight of God, bettersuited for witnessing, and the best for avoiding doubt. But if the goods be there present, and ye pass them from hand to hand - then it shall be no fault in you not to write it down. And have witnesses when ye sell, and harm not writer or witness: it will be a crime in you to do this. But fear God and God will give you knowledge, for God hath knowledge of all things

O truebelievers, when ye bind yourselves one to the other in a debt for a certain time, write it down; and let a writer write between you according to justice, and let not the writer refuse writing according to what God hath taught him; but let him write, and let him who oweth the debt dictate, and let him fear God his Lord, and not diminish ought thereof. But if he who oweth the debt be foolish, or weak, or be not able to dictate himself, let his agent dictate according to equity; and call to witness two witnesses of your neighbouring men; but if there be not two men, let there be a man and two women of those whom ye shall choose for witnesses: If one of those women should mistake, the other of them will cause her to recollect. And the witnesses shall not refuse, whensoever they shall be called. And disdain not to write it down, be it a large debt, or be it a small one, until its time of payment: This will be more just in the sight of God, and more right for bearing witness, and more easy, that ye may not doubt. But if it be a present bargain which ye transact between your selves, it shall be no crime in you, if ye write it not down. And take witnesses when ye sell one to the other, and let no harm be done to the writer, nor to the witness; which if ye do, it will surely be injustice in you: And fear God, and God will instruct you, for God knoweth all things

O besimtarë! Kur të merrni hua nga njëri-tjetri për një afat të caktuar, shkruajeni. Le të shënojë një shkrues i drejtë dhe të mos kundërshtojë të shkruajë ashtu siç e ka mësuar Allahu. Ai le të shënojë, ndërsa borxhliu le të diktojë dhe le ta ketë frikë Allahun, Zotin e vet, pa lënë mangët asgjë nga borxhi. Në qoftë se borxhliu është mendjelehtë a i dobët ose nuk mund të diktojë, atëherë le të diktojë drejt kujdestari i tij. Gjithashtu, merrni dy dëshmitarë burra nga mesi juaj. Mirëpo, nëse nuk gjenden dy burra, atëherë një burrë e dy gra nga ata që i shihni të përshtatshëm për të dëshmuar, në mënyrë që, nëse njëra harron, ia kujton tjetra. Të mos kundërshtojnë dëshmitarët kurdo që të thirren. Mos përtoni ta shkruani borxhin, qoftë i madh, qoftë i vogël, duke shënuar edhe afatin e tij. Kjo është më e drejtë tek Allahu, më e përshtatshme sa i përket dëshmisë dhe më afër mosdyshimit, përveç nëse është shitblerje e çastit, e në atë rast nuk keni gjynah nëse nuk e shënoni. Mirëpo, merrni dëshmitarë kur bëni shitblerje dhe të mos dëmtohet asnjë shkrues e dëshmitar. Nëse e bëni një gjë të tillë (dëmtoni ndonjërin nga ata), atëherë kjo është gjynah nga ana juaj, ndaj kijeni frikë Allahun. Allahu ju mëson; Allahu është i Gjithëdijshëm për çdo gjë.

হে তোমরা যারা ঈমান এনেছ! তোমরা যখন একে অন্যের সাথে নির্দিষ্ট সময়ের জন্য ঋণের চুক্তি করো তখন তা লিখে রাখো। তোমাদের মধ্যে যে কোনো লেখক যেন তা ন্যায়সঙ্গতভাবে লিখে দেয়। কোনো লেখক তা লিখতে অস্বীকার করবে না, যেমন আল্লাহ তাকে শিক্ষা দিয়েছেন। সুতরাং সে যেন লিখে দেয়। এবং যে ব্যক্তির উপর হক্ক রয়েছে সে যেন লেখার বিষয়বস্তু বলে দেয় এবং সে যেন তার রব আল্লাহকে ভয় করে এবং স্থিরকৃত কোন কিছুই যেন কম-বেশি না করে।(৯৬) অতঃপর ঋণগ্রহীতা যদি নির্বোধ (৯৭) অথবা দুর্বল হয় অথবা লেখার বিষয়বস্তু বলে দেওয়ার যোগ্যতা না রাখে, তবে যেন তার অভিভাবক ন্যায়সঙ্গতভাবে লেখার বিষয়বস্তু বলে দেয়। আরতোমাদের পুরুষদের মধ্য হতে দু’জন সাক্ষী রাখো। অতঃপর যদি দু’জন পুরুষ পাওয়া না যায়, তবে একজন পুরুষ ও দু’জন স্ত্রীলোককে সাক্ষী রাখো, যাদেরকে (দীনদারিতা ও আমানতদারিতার বিবেচনায়) তোমরা সাক্ষী হিসেবে পছন্দ করো; যাতে স্ত্রীলোকদের মধ্যে একজন ভুলে গেলে তাদের একজন অপরজনকে স্মরণ করিয়ে দেয়। আর সাক্ষীগণকে যখন ডাকা হবে তখন তারা যেন অস্বীকার না করে। আর তা ছোট-বড় যাই হোক, মেয়াদসহ লিখতে তোমরা কোনোরূপ অলসতা করো না। এটাই আল্লাহর নিকট ন্যায্যতার ও সাক্ষ্যদানের জন্য দৃঢ়তর এবং তোমাদের মধ্যে সন্দেহের উদ্রেক না হওয়ার জন্য অধিকতর উপযুক্ত। তবে তোমরা পরস্পর যে নগদ ব্যবসা-বাণিজ্য পরিচালনা করো তা তোমরা না লিখলে কোনো দোষ নেই। আর তোমরা যখন পরস্পর বেচা-কেনা করো তখন সাক্ষী রেখো। আর কোনো লেখক ও সাক্ষীকে কষ্ট দেওয়া যাবে না। আর যদি তাদের ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত করো, তবে তা হবে তোমাদের জন্যে একটি মারাত্মক গুনাহ। আর তোমরাআল্লাহকে ভয় করো এবং আল্লাহ তোমাদেরকে শিক্ষা দিবেন। আর আল্লাহ সকল বিষয়ে জ্ঞানী।

I uzmite dva svjedoka između vas, pa ako ne nađete dva muškarca, onda jednog muškarca i dvije žene sa kojima ste kao svjedocima zadovoljni.

O die ihr glaubt, wenn ihr vom anderen eine Geldschuld aufnehmt, (und dies) auf eine festgesetzte Frist, dann schreibt es auf. Und ein Schreiber soll (es) für euch gerecht aufschreiben. Und kein Schreiber soll sich weigern zu schreiben, so wie Allah (es) ihn gelehrt hat. So soll er schreiben und diktieren soll der, gegen den das Recht besteht (also der Schuldner); und er soll Allah, seinen Herrn, fürchten und nichts davon schmälern. Wenn aber der Schuldner töricht oder schwach ist oder unfähig, selbst zu diktieren, so soll sein Sachwalter (es) gerecht diktieren. Und lasst zwei Zeugen von euren Männern (es) bezeugen. Wenn es keine zwei Männer sein können, dann sollen es ein Mann und zwei Frauen sein, mit denen ihr als Zeugen zufrieden seid, damit, wenn eine von beiden sich irrt, (die) eine die andere erinnert. Und die Zeugen sollen sich nicht weigern, wenn sie (dazu) aufgerufen werden. Und seid nicht abgeneigt, es mit seiner (vereinbarten) Frist aufzuschreiben, (seien es) klein(e) oder groß(e Beträge)! Das ist gerechter vor Allah und richtiger für das Zeugnis und eher geeignet, dass ihr nicht zweifelt; es sei denn, es ist ein sofortiger Handel, den ihr unter euch tätigt. Dann ist es keine Sünde für euch, wenn ihr es nicht aufschreibt. Und nehmt Zeugen, wenn ihr untereinander einen Verkauf abschließt. Und kein Schreiber oder Zeuge soll zu Schaden kommen. Wenn ihr (es) aber (dennoch) tut, so ist es ein Frevel von euch. Und fürchtet Allah! Allah lehrt euch. Und Allah weiß über alles Bescheid.

Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε, όταν κάνετε μια συναλλαγή μεταξύ σας με δάνειο (ή αγοραπωλησία με χρέος) για ορισμένο χρονικό διάστημα, γράψτε το. Και ας (το) γράψει ένας γραφέας μεταξύ σας με δικαιοσύνη. Δεν πρέπει κάποιος γραφέας να αρνηθεί να γράψει, όπως τον έχει διδάξει ο Αλλάχ (τη γραφή). Ας γράψει (ο γραφέας), και ας υπαγορεύσει ο οφειλέτης (στον γραφέα τι χρωστάει, ώστε να είναι μια αναγνώριση απ' αυτόν), και ας φοβάται (ο οφειλέτης) τον Αλλάχ, τον Κύριό του, και να μην μειώσει τίποτα απ’ αυτό (που οφείλει κατά την υπαγόρευσή του). Αλλά αν ο οφειλέτης είναι χαμηλής νοημοσύνης (δεν μπορεί να γνωρίζει το σωστό από το λάθος σ’ αυτά που υπαγορεύει), ή είναι αδύναμος (μικρός ή τρελός), ή είναι ανίκανος να υπαγορεύσει (επειδή είναι βουβός κλπ.), ας υπαγορεύσει τότε ο κηδεμόνας του με δικαιοσύνη. Και πάρτε δύο (δίκαιους) μάρτυρες από τους άνδρες σας. Και αν δεν υπάρχουν δύο άνδρες (διαθέσιμοι), τότε (πάρτε) έναν άνδρα και δύο γυναίκες απ' εκείνους που δέχεστε ως μάρτυρες (δηλ. γνωρίζετε ότι είναι δίκαιοι), (και ο λόγος για να καλέσετε δύο γυναίκες είναι) ώστε αν μια απ' αυτές ξεχάσει, η άλλη να της υπενθυμίσει. Και οι μάρτυρες δεν πρέπει να αρνούνται (να μαρτυρήσουν) όταν καλούνται. Και μην βαρεθείτε να το γράψετε (το δάνειο ή το χρέος), είτε είναι μικρό είτε μεγάλο, για τον καθορισμένο χρόνο του. Αυτό (το να καταγράψετε το δάνειο ή το χρέος) είναι πιο δίκαιο ενώπιον του Αλλάχ και καθιερώνει την μαρτυρία πιο ορθά (υπενθυμίζοντας στους μάρτυρες αν ξεχάσουν ή αν διαφωνήσουν μεταξύ τους) και είναι πλησιέστερο στο να μην έχετε αμφιβολίες. Εκτός εάν πρόκειται για άμεση συναλλαγή που πραγματοποιείτε επί τόπου μεταξύ σας (με παρόν προϊόν και άμεση πληρωμή), τότε δεν υπάρχει κάτι το μεμπτό σε σας αν δεν την γράψετε. Και πάρτε μάρτυρες όποτε κάνετε μια συναλλαγή (είτε είναι μικρή ή μεγάλη, και είτε είναι με άμεση πληρωμή και παράδοση ή με αναβολή). Και δεν πρέπει να βλάπτεται κανένας γραφέας ούτε κανένας μάρτυρας (από τις δύο πλευρές της συναλλαγής), και αν το κάνετε (δηλ. τους βλάπτετε), τότε έχετε ανυπακοή μέσα σας (προς την εντολή του Αλλάχ). Και να φυλαχτείτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (μέσω της τήρησης των εντολών Του). Και ο Αλλάχ σάς διδάσκει (ό,τι είναι καλά για σας σ’ αυτόν τον κόσμο και στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή). Και ο Αλλάχ είναι για τα πάντα Παντογνώστης.

ऐ ईमान वालो! जब तुम आपस में एक निश्चित अवधि के लिए उधार का लेन-देन करो, तो उसे लिख लिया करो। और एक लिखने वाला तुम्हारे बीच न्याय के साथ लिखे। और कोई लिखने वाला उस तरह लिखने से इनकार न करे, जैसे अल्लाह ने उसे सिखाया है। सो उसे चाहिए कि लिखे और वह व्यक्ति लिखवाए जिसपर हक़ (क़र्ज़) हो, तथा वह अपने पालनहार अल्लाह से डरे और उस (कर्ज़) में से कुछ भी कम न करे। फिर यदि वह व्यक्ति जिसके ज़िम्मे हक़ (क़र्ज़) है, नासमझ या कमज़ोर है, या वह स्वयं लिखवाने में सक्षम न हो, तो उसका वली (अभिभावक) न्याय के साथ लिखवा दे। तथा अपने पुरुषों में से दो गवाहों को गवाह बना लो। फिर यदि दो पुरुष न हों, तो एक पुरुष तथा दो स्त्रियाँ उन लोगों में से जिन्हें तुम गवाहों में से पसंद करते हो। (इसलिए) कि दोनों में से एक भूल जाए, तो उनमें से एक दूसरी को याद दिला दे। तथा गवाह जब भी बुलाए जाएँ, इनकार न करें। तथा मामला छोटा हो या बड़ा, उसे उसकी अवधि तक लिखने से न उकताओ। यह काम अल्लाह के निकट अधिक न्यायसंगत, तथा गवाही को अधिक ठीक रखने वाला है और अधिक निकट है कि तुम संदेह में न पड़ो, परंतु यह कि नक़द सौदा हो, जिसका तुम आपस में लेन-देन करते हो, तो उसे न लिखने में तुमपर कोई दोष नहीं। तथा जब आपस में क्रय-विक्रय करो, तो गवाह बना लिया करो। और न किसी लिखने वाले को हानि पहुँचाई जाए और न किसी गवाह को। और यदि ऐसा करोगो, तो निःसंदेह यह तुम में (पाई जाने वाली बहुत) बड़ी अवज्ञा है। तथा अल्लाह से डरो और अल्लाह तुम्हें सिखाता है और अल्लाह हर चीज़ को ख़ूब जानने वाला है।

O credenti, se contraete un debito a una certa scadenza, scrivetelo, e lo scriva uno scriba tra voi, con giustizia, e che lo scriba non si rifiuti di scriverlo nel modo in cui Allāh gli ha insegnato; scriva sotto dettatura di chi contrae il debito, e che tema Allāh, il suo Dio, e non ne tolga nulla. Nel caso che il contraente sia analfabeta o debole, o incapace di dettare personalmente, che detti il suo tutore con giustizia. E si prendano due testimoni tra i vostri uomini. Se non ci fossero uomini, si prendano un uomo e due donne tra quelli che vi piacciono tra i testimoni, così che, se una sbaglia, può correggerla l’altra. E non si rifiutino i testimoni, se convocati, e non si annoino nello scrivere, sia piccola o grande, la sua scadenza; ciò è più giusto da Allāh e più giusto per la testimonianza, e più adatto a non farvi dubitare; tranne quando si tratta di un commercio diretto in beni che trattate tra voi: in questo caso non c’è nessuna colpa se non lo scrivete. E prendete, se fate una compravendita, dei testimoni, e che non sia fatto torto né allo scriba né ai testimoni. Se doveste farlo, sarebbe un peccato da parte vostra. E temete Allāh, e Allāh v’insegna, e Allāh è Onnisciente.

282. O jūs, kurie tikite! Kai jūs skolinatės konkrečiam laikui, užrašykite tai. Lai raštininkas užrašo tai teisingai tarp jūsų. Neleiskite raštininkui atsisakyti to užrašyti, kaip Allahas jį išmokė, taigi leiskite jam užrašyti. Lai tas (skolininkas), kuris prisiima prievolę, diktuoja, ir jis privalo bijoti Allaho, savo Viešpaties, ir nesumažina nieko iš to, ką jis skolingas. Tačiau jei skolininkas gerai nesuvokia arba yra silpnas arba nesugeba pats padiktuoti, tada lai jo globėjas diktuoja teisingai. Ir pasiimkite du liudininkus iš savo vyrų tarpo. Ir jei nėra dviejų vyrų (tinkamų), tada vyrą ir dvi moteris, tokias, dėl kokių jūs sutariate kaip liudytojų, tam, kad vienai iš jų suklydus, kita galėtų jai priminti. Ir liudytojai neturėtų atsisakyti, kai jie kviečiami (parodymams). Jūs neturėtumėte pavargti rašyti ją (savo sutartį), ar ji būtų trumpa ar ilga, jos nustatytam terminui. Tai yra teisingiau Allahui, patikimiau kaip įrodymas ir patogiau, siekiant išvengti abejonių tarp jūsų. Nebent tai yra tuomet vykstantis sandoris, kurį jūs įvykdote čia pat tarp savęs, - tada nėra nuodėmės jums, jei to neužrašote. Tačiau pasiimkite liudydojus, kaskart kai sudarote verslo sandorį. Neleiskite nei raštininkui, nei liudytojui nukentėti, tačiau jei jūs taip pasielgiate (ir sukeliate žalą), tai bus blogas poelgis jums. Taigi bijokite Allaho. Allahas moko jus. Ir Allahas yra Visa Žinantis apie viską.

О вы, которые уверовали! Когда вы даёте друг другу в долг до определённого срока, то записывайте это, и пусть писец записывает между вами по справедливости. Пусть писец не отказывается записывать так, как научил его Аллах, и пусть он пишет, а диктует тот, на ком лежит обязательство. И пусть он боится Аллаха, своего Господа, и не убавляет из этого ничего. Если тот, на ком лежит обязательство, является неразумным или слабым, или неспособным диктовать, то пусть диктует его опекун, по справедливости. И возьмите двух свидетелей из числа ваших мужчин. Если же не окажется двух мужчин, то [возьмите] мужчину и двух женщин из тех, кого вы сочли достойными свидетелями, чтобы, если одна из них собьётся, другая напомнила ей. И пусть свидетели не отказываются, когда их призывают, и не тяготитесь записывать это, будь то малое или большое, с указанием срока. Это справедливее перед Аллахом, надёжнее для свидетельства и ближе к тому, чтобы вы не испытывали сомнений. Однако если это торговля из рук в руки, которую вы ведёте между собой, то нет на вас греха, если вы не запишете её. Но привлекайте свидетелей, когда заключаете торговую сделку, и пусть не пострадает ни писец, ни свидетель. А если вы совершите [подобное], то, воистину, это — нечестие с вашей стороны. Бойтесь Аллаха, и Аллах научит вас. Аллах — знающий обо всём сущем.

О ви који верујете, када један од другога позајмљујете до одређенога рока, запишите то. Нека један писар између вас то праведно напише и нека се писар не сустеже да напише онако како га је Аллах подучио. Нека он пише, а нека му дужник казује! Нека се боји Аллаха, Господара свога, и нека ништа не изостави од тога. А ако је дужник умно ограничен или слаб, или ако није у стању да казује, онда нека казује његов старатељ и то праведно. И узмите два сведока између вас, па ако не нађете два мушкарца, онда једног мушкарца и две жене са којима сте као сведоцима задовољни. Ако једна од њих две погрешно шта каже, нека је друга подсети. И нека се сведоци не устежу, ако буду позвани, да дођу. Нека вам не буде мрско да то запишете са роком враћања, био дуг мали или велики! То вам је код Аллаха исправније и за сведочење јаче, и боље да не бисте сумњали, изузев ако је реч о свакодневној трговини коју обављате међу вама, јер онда вам није грех да то не запишете. Узмите сведоке и када купопродају закључујете, и нека не буде оштећен ни писар ни сведок. А ако их оштетите, онда је то ваш грех. И бојте се Аллаха и Аллах ће да вас подучи! Аллах све добро зна.

Enyi mlioamini! Mnapodaiana deni hadi muda maalumu, basi liandikeni. Na mwandishi aandike baina yenu kwa uadilifu, wala mwandishi asikatae kuandika kama alivyomfunza Mwenyezi Mungu. Basi na aandike, na mwenye deni juu yake aandikishe; na amche Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola wake Mlezi, wala asipunguze chochote ndani yake. Na ikiwa mwenye kudaiwa ni mtu aliye pumbaa au mnyonge au hawezi kuandikisha mwenyewe, basi aandikishe mlinzi wake kwa uadilifu. Na washuhudisheni mashahidi wawili katika wanaume wenu. Na ikiwa wanaume wawili hawapo, basi mwanamume mmoja na wanawake wawili katika wale mnaowaridhia miongoni mwa mashahidi. Ili ikiwa mmoja wao (wanawake hao) atapotea, basi mmoja wao amkumbushe huyo mwengine. Na mashahidi wasikatae pindi wanapoitwa. Wala msipuuze kuliandika deni likiwa dogo au kubwa mpaka muda wake. Hayo ndiyo ya uadilifu zaidi kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na ndiyo sawa zaidi kwa ushahidi, na ya chini zaidi ili msiwe na shaka. Isipokuwa ikiwa ni biashara ya mkono kwa mkono mnayoifanya baina yenu, basi hapo hakuna ubaya juu yenu msipoiandika. Lakini wekeni mashahidi mnapouziana. Wala asitiwe matatani mwandishi wala shahidi. Na mkifanya hivyo, basi hakika huko ni kupita mipaka mliko nako. Na mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anajua kila kitu.

Troende! När ni sinsemellan sluter avtal om lån med en bestämd förfallotid ska ni skriva ned det. Låt en skrivare nedteckna det mellan er på ett rättvist sätt. Ingen skrivare får vägra att skriva ned det, såsom Gud lärt honom. Låt honom därför skriva och låt låntagaren diktera. Och han ska frukta Gud, sin Herre, och inte utelämna något. Om låntagaren är oförståndig eller svag eller inte själv kan diktera ska hans förmyndare diktera på ett rättvist sätt. Ta också två män som vittnen. Om det inte finns två män ska en man och två kvinnor som ni godkänner tas som vittnen; om den ena av dem glömmer kan då den andra påminna henne. Vittnena får inte vägra att komma när de blir tillkallade. Tröttna inte på att skriva ned skulden, vare sig den är liten eller stor, tillsammans med dess förfallotid. Detta är mer rättvist inför Gud, mer tillförlitligt för vittnesmålet och bättre för att undanröja tvivel er emellan. Om det däremot gäller handel som sker direkt mellan er, bär ni ingen skuld om ni inte skriver ned den. Ta vittnen när ni handlar med varandra, och låt varken skrivare eller vittne tillfogas skada. Om ni gör det begår ni en allvarlig överträdelse. Frukta Gud, så ska Gud lära er. Gud har full vetskap om allt.

Ey iman edenler! Belirli bir süreye kadar borçlandığınız zaman onu yazın. Aranızda bir kâtip doğru olarak yazsın. Kâtip, Allah’ın kendisine öğrettiği gibi yazmaktan kaçınmasın, yazsın. (Katibe) borçlu olan yazdırsın. Rabbi olan Allah’tan korksun da ondan hiçbir şeyi eksiltmesin. Eğer borçlu cahil/sefih veya zayıf ya da bizzat kendisi yazdırmaya gücü yetmezse, velisi (onu) dosdoğru yazdırsın. Erkeklerinizden iki de şahit bulundurun. Eğer iki erkek yoksa, razı olacağınız şahitlerden, bir erkek ve biri unuttuğu zaman diğerinin ona hatırlatması için iki kadın şahitler çağrıldıklarında (şahitlik etmekten) kaçınmasınlar. Küçük olsun, büyük olsun borcu süresiyle birlikte yazmaya üşenmeyin. Bu, Allah katında daha adaletli, şahitlik için daha sağlam, şüpheye düşmemeniz için de en isabetli olandır. Ancak aranızda yaptığınız alışverişin peşin bir ticaret olması halinde onu yazmamanızın bir günahı yoktur. Alışveriş yaptığınız zaman da şahit tutun. Yazana da şahide de zarar verilmesin. Eğer bir zarar verirseniz bu şüphesiz, sizin hak yoldan çıkmanız demektir. Allah’tan korkun. Allah (bunları) size öğretmektedir. Allah her şeyi bilendir.

5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.

About easy-read
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.
Talal Itani2012 But if he is in hardship, then deferment until a time of ease. But to remit it as charity is better for you, if you only knew.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know
Edward Henry Palmer1880 And if it be one in difficulties, then wait for easy circumstances; but that ye remit it as alms is better for you, if ye did but know
John Medows Rodwell1861 If any one find difficulty in discharging a debt, then let there be a delay until it be easy for him: but if ye remit it as alms it will be better for you, if ye knew it
George Sale1734 If there be an debtor under a difficulty of paying his debt, let his creditor wait till it be easy for him to do it; but if ye remit it as alms, it will be better for you, if ye knew it
Talal Itani2012 And guard yourselves against a Day when you will be returned to God; then each soul will be rewarded fully for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And guard yourselves against a day in which ye will be brought back to Allah. Then every soul will be paid in full that which it hath earned, and they will not be wronged
Edward Henry Palmer1880 Fear the day wherein ye shall return to God; then shall each soul be paid what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged
John Medows Rodwell1861 Fear the day wherein ye shall return to God: then shall every soul be rewarded according to its desert, and none shall have injustice done to them
George Sale1734 And fear the day wherein ye shall return unto God, then shall every soul be paid what it hath gained, and they shall not be treated unjustly
Talal Itani2012 If you are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit should be handed over. But if you trust one another, let the trustee fulfill his trust, and let him fear God, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony. Whoever conceals it is sinner at heart. God is aware of what you do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do
Edward Henry Palmer1880 But if ye be upon a journey, and ye cannot find a scribe, then let a pledge be taken. But if one of you trust another, then let him who is trusted surrender his trust, and let him fear God his Lord, and conceal not testimony, for he who conceals it, verily, sinful is his heart: God knows what ye do
John Medows Rodwell1861 And if ye be on a journey and shall find no notary, let pledges be taken: but if one of you trust the other, let him who is trusted, restore what he is trusted with, and fear God his Lord. And refuse not to give evidence. He who refuseth is surely wicked at heart: and God knoweth your deeds
George Sale1734 And if ye be on a journey, and find no writer, let pledges be taken: But if one of you trust the other, let him who is trusted return what he is trusted with, and fear God his Lord. And conceal not the testimony, for he who concealeth it, hath surely a wicked heart: God knoweth that which ye do

Talal Itani2012 To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Whether you reveal what is within your selves, or conceal it, God will call you to account for it. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. God is Able to do all things.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Unto Allah (belongeth) whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and whether ye make known what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will bring you to account for it. He will forgive whom He will and He will punish whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things
Edward Henry Palmer1880 God's is what is in heaven and in the earth, and if ye show what is in your souls, or hide it, God will call you to account; and He forgives whom He will, and punishes whom He will, for God is mighty over all
John Medows Rodwell1861 Whatever is in the Heavens and in the Earth is God's: and whether ye bring forth to light what is in your minds or conceal it, God will reckon with you for it; and whom He pleaseth will He forgive, and whom He pleaseth will He punish; for God is All-powerful
George Sale1734 Whatever is in heaven, and on earth is God's: And whether ye manifest that which is in your minds, or conceal it, God will call you to account for it, and will forgive whom he pleaseth, and will punish whom he pleaseth; for God is almighty

Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
Source Tanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) · Uthmani, Version 1.1
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.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A.

CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.

CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.

Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
