5:84 Why should we not believe in Allah and the truth that has come to us? And we hope that our Lord will include us in the company of the righteous people.”

5:85 So Allah rewarded them for what they said with gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. Such is the reward of those who do good.

5:86 But those who disbelieve and reject Our signs, they are the people of the Blazing Fire.

5:87 O you who believe, do not prohibit the good things that Allah has made lawful for you[1], and do not exceed the limits, for Allah does not like those who exceed the limits.

5:88 Eat of the lawful and good things that Allah has provided for you, and fear Allah in Whom you believe.

5:89 Allah will not hold you accountable for your unintentional oaths[1], but He will hold you accountable for your deliberate oaths. The expiation thereof is to feed ten needy people from what you normally feed your own family, or to clothe them, or to emancipate a slave. However, if someone cannot afford it, then he must fast for three days. That is the expiation for breaking your oaths. But be mindful of your oaths[2]. This is how Allah makes His verses clear to you, so that you may be grateful.

5:90 O you who believe, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars[1] and divining arrows are of Satan’s evil work; therefore shun such [evil], so that you may be successful.
