89. Allh will not punish you for what is uninentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths; for its expiation (a deliberate oath) feed ten Maskin (poor persons), on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own families; or clothe them; or manumit a slave.

91. Shaitn (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allh and from As-Salt (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?

92. And obey Allh and the Messenger (Muhammad ), and beware (of even coming near to drinking or gambling or AlAnsb, or AlAzlm, etc.) and fear Allh. Then if you turn away, you should know that it is Our Messenger's duty to convey (the Message) in the clearest way.
