DAY 562: Nisa 163-176

•  Surely, We have revealed to you as We have revealed to NūH and to the prophets after him; and We have revealed to Ibrāhīm, Ismā‘īl, IsHāq, Ya‘qūb and their children, and to ‘Īsā, Ayyūb, Yūnus, Hārūn and Sulaimān, and We have given Zabūr to Dawūd . There are messengers whose stories We have told you already and others We have not. And to Moses Allah spoke directly. ˹All were˺ messengers delivering good news and warnings so humanity should have no excuse before Allah after ˹the coming of˺ the messengers. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. Yet ˹if you are denied, O  Prophet,˺ Allah bears witness to what He has sent down to you—He has sent it with His knowledge. The angels too bear witness. And Allah ˹alone˺ is sufficient as a Witness. Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah have certainly strayed far away. Those who disbelieve and wrong themselves—surely Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to any path except that of Hell, to stay there for ever and ever. And that is easy for Allah. O humanity! The Messenger has certainly come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe for your own good. But if you disbelieve, then ˹know that˺ to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.  The Messiah would never be too proud to be a servant of Allah, nor would the angels nearest to Allah. Those who are too proud and arrogant to worship Him will be brought before Him all together. As for those who believe and do good, He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. But those who are too proud and arrogant, He will subject them to a painful punishment. And besides Allah they will find no protector or helper. O humanity! There has come to you conclusive evidence from your Lord. And We have sent down to you a brilliant light. As for those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into His mercy and grace and guide them to Himself through the Straight Path. They ask you ˹for a ruling, O  Prophet˺. Say, “Allah gives you a ruling regarding those who die without children or parents.” If a man dies childless and leaves behind a sister, she will inherit one-half of his estate, whereas her brother will inherit all of her estate if she dies childless. If this person leaves behind two sisters, they together will inherit two-thirds of the estate. But if the deceased leaves male and female siblings, a male’s share will be equal to that of two females. Allah makes ˹this˺ clear to you so you do not go astray. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

  This is the grand closing of the surah. It ties together:
      --The chain of prophets — confirming that Muhammad is part of a long line of messengers.
      --The rejection of exaggeration and extremism in religion — specifically the Christian over-exaltation of Jesus.
      --The final call to the People of the Book — to stop exaggerating and return to pure monotheism.
      --The ultimate ruling on inheritance — the final legal clarification for those who have no direct heirs (kalalah).
      
  163    Revelation to Muhammad and previous prophets    Muhammad is part of the chain
  164    Messengers mentioned and not mentioned    God sent prophets to every nation
  165    Messengers bring good news and warnings    No excuse after the prophets
  166    God and angels bear witness to the Quran    The Quran is divinely guaranteed
  167    Those who disbelieve and mislead others are lost    Leading others astray is a double sin
  168    Disbelievers and oppressors won't be forgiven    Persistent rejection seals the heart
  169    Their only path is Hell    The consequence is real
  170    Believe—it's for your own good    God doesn't need your faith
  171    Don't exaggerate in religion; Jesus is a messenger; reject the Trinity    Pure monotheism is the core
  172    Jesus is a servant—don't be arrogant    Everyone is a servant of God
  173    Believers get full reward; arrogant get punishment    Justice and mercy are balanced
  174    The Quran is proof and clear light    The evidence is here
  175    Hold fast to God—He will guide you    Clinging to God is the key
  176    Inheritance for those without parents or children    God's system is complete and just
  
  Muhammad is part of the long chain of prophets, the message is pure monotheism, Jesus is a servant of God not His son, the Trinity is rejected, the Quran is the clear light, and the inheritance system is complete—so hold fast to God and you will be guided to the straight path.
