S:  And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.

002.187 Y:  Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives.  They are your garments and ye are their garments.  Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques.  Those are Limits (set by) Allah:  Approach not nigh thereto.  Thus doth Allah make clear His Signs to men:  that they may learn self-restraint.

P:  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).

S:  It is made lawful to you to go into your wives on the night of the fast; they are an apparel for you and you are an apparel for them; Allah knew that you acted unfaithfully to yourselves, so He has turned to you (mercifully) and removed from you (this burden); so now be in contact with them and seek what Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the whiteness of the day becomes distinct from the blackness of the night at dawn, then complete the fast till night, and have not contact with them while you keep to the mosques; these are the limits of Allah, so do not go near them.  Thus does Allah make clear His communications for men that they may guard (against evil).

002.188 Y:  And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people’s property.

P:  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.

S:  And do not swallow up your property among yourselves by false means, neither seek to gain access thereby to the judges, so that you may swallow up a part of the property of men wrongfully while you know.

002.189 Y:  They ask thee concerning the New Moons.  Say:  They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in (the affairs of) men, and for Pilgrimage.  It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the back:  It is virtue if ye fear Allah.  Enter houses through the proper doors:  And fear Allah:  That ye may prosper.
