۞ إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَأْمُرُكُمْ orders you أَن to تُؤَدُّوا۟ render ٱلْأَمَـٰنَـٰتِ the trusts إِلَىٰٓ to أَهْلِهَا their owners وَإِذَا and when حَكَمْتُم you judge بَيْنَ between ٱلنَّاسِ the people أَن to تَحْكُمُوا۟ judge بِٱلْعَدْلِ ۚ with justice إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah نِعِمَّا excellently يَعِظُكُم advises you بِهِۦٓ ۗ with it إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is سَمِيعًۢا All-Hearing بَصِيرًۭا All-Seeing ٥٨

Indeed, Allāh commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allāh instructs you. Indeed, Allāh is ever Hearing and Seeing.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe[d] أَطِيعُوا۟ Obey ٱللَّهَ Allah وَأَطِيعُوا۟ and obey ٱلرَّسُولَ the Messenger وَأُو۟لِى and those ٱلْأَمْرِ (having) authority مِنكُمْ ۖ among you فَإِن Then if تَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ you disagree فِى in شَىْءٍۢ anything فَرُدُّوهُ refer it إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ Allah وَٱلرَّسُولِ and the Messenger إِن if كُنتُمْ you تُؤْمِنُونَ believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۚ [the] Last ذَٰلِكَ That خَيْرٌۭ (is) best وَأَحْسَنُ and more suitable تَأْوِيلًا (for final) determination ٥٩

O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allāh and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.

4:60

أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see إِلَى [towards] ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَزْعُمُونَ claim أَنَّهُمْ that they ءَامَنُوا۟ believe بِمَآ in what أُنزِلَ (is) revealed إِلَيْكَ to you وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ was revealed مِن from قَبْلِكَ before you يُرِيدُونَ They wish أَن to يَتَحَاكَمُوٓا۟ go for judgment إِلَى to ٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ the false deities وَقَدْ and surely أُمِرُوٓا۟ they were ordered أَن to يَكْفُرُوا۟ reject بِهِۦ [with] it وَيُرِيدُ And wishes ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan أَن to يُضِلَّهُمْ mislead them ضَلَـٰلًۢا astray بَعِيدًۭا far away ٦٠

Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to ṭāghūt, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray.

فَكَيْفَ So how إِذَآ when أَصَـٰبَتْهُم befalls them مُّصِيبَةٌۢ disaster بِمَا for what قَدَّمَتْ sent forth أَيْدِيهِمْ their hands ثُمَّ then جَآءُوكَ they come to you يَحْلِفُونَ swearing بِٱللَّهِ by Allah إِنْ Not أَرَدْنَآ we intended إِلَّآ except إِحْسَـٰنًۭا good وَتَوْفِيقًا and reconciliation ٦٢

So how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by Allāh, "We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation."

4:64

وَمَآ And not أَرْسَلْنَا We sent مِن any رَّسُولٍ Messenger إِلَّا except لِيُطَاعَ to be obeyed بِإِذْنِ by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah وَلَوْ And if أَنَّهُمْ [that] they إِذ when ظَّلَمُوٓا۟ they wronged أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves جَآءُوكَ (had) come to you فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا۟ and asked forgiveness ٱللَّهَ (of) Allah وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ and asked forgiveness لَهُمُ for them ٱلرَّسُولُ the Messenger لَوَجَدُوا۟ surely they would have found ٱللَّهَ Allah تَوَّابًۭا Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمًۭا Most Merciful ٦٤

And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allāh. And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muḥammad], and asked forgiveness of Allāh and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allāh Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.

فَلَا But no وَرَبِّكَ by your Lord لَا not يُؤْمِنُونَ will they believe حَتَّىٰ until يُحَكِّمُوكَ they make you judge فِيمَا about what شَجَرَ arises بَيْنَهُمْ between them ثُمَّ then لَا not يَجِدُوا۟ they find فِىٓ in أَنفُسِهِمْ themselves حَرَجًۭا any discomfort مِّمَّا about what قَضَيْتَ you (have) decided وَيُسَلِّمُوا۟ and submit تَسْلِيمًۭا (in full) submission ٦٥

But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muḥammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.

And if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith].
