    "english": "O you who believe! When you contract a debt for a fixed term, write it down. Let a scribe write it with justice between you. The scribe should not refuse as Allah has taught him; let him write. Let the one who owes the debt dictate, fearing Allah, and not reduce anything. If the debtor is incompetent or weak, let his guardian dictate with justice. Call two witnesses from among your men; if not two men, then one man and two women from those you accept as witnesses, so that if one errs, the other reminds her. Do not hesitate to write it small or large, to its term. This is the most just with Allah, the strongest for testimony, and the least likely to doubt. Unless it is a trade you carry out among yourselves; then there is no blame. And call witnesses when you trade. No harm to scribe or witness. But if you do, it is sin for you. Fear Allah. Allah teaches you. And Allah is All-Knowing of everything.",
    "kiswahili": "Enyi mnaoamini! Mnapopeana deni kwa muda maalumu, andikeni. Mwandishi aandike kwa haki kati yenu. Mwandishi haasiwi kama Allah amemfundisha; aandike. Mdeni ameleze, akimcha Allah, na asipunguzi chochote. Ikiwa mdeni ni mpweke au dhaifu, kiongozi wake aeleze kwa haki. Piga shahidi wawili miongoni mwa wanaume wenu; kama hawako wawili, basi mtu mmoja na wanawake wawili miongoni mwa wale mnaowakubali, ili iwapo mmoja atakosea, mwingine amkumbuse. Usisite kuandika kidogo au kikubwa, kwa muda wake. Hii ndiyo haki zaidi kwa Allah, yenye nguvu kwa ushahidi, na ya kupunguza shaka. Isipokuwa biashara mnaifanya miongoni mwa nyinyi; basi hakuna dhambi. Piga mashahidi mnapouza. Hakuna madhara kwa mwandishi au shahidi. Lakini mkifanya, ni dhambi kwenu. Mtawahini Allah. Allah atakufundisheni. Allah anajua kila kitu."

    "english": "And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, a pledge taken is sufficient. If one trusts another, let the trustee fulfill the trust and fear Allah. Do not conceal testimony. Whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.",
    "kiswahili": "Na kama mko safarini na hamkupata mwandishi, dhamana iliyochukuliwa inatosha. Ikiwa mtu anamwamini mwingine, mtu anayehifadhi amilishe kwa uaminifu na amcha Allah. Usifichue ushahidi. Yeye anayeficha, moyo wake ni dhambi. Allah anajua mnayofanya."

You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.",
