If anyone disputes in this matter with
you, now after (full)
knowledge has come to you, say: "Come! let us gather together
- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and
yourselves: then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah
on those who lie!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
This is the true account; there is
no god except Allah; and Allah - He is indeed the Exalted in Power,
the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
But if they turn back, Allah has full
knowledge of those who do mischief. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
Say: "O people of the Book! come
to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but Allah;
that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not from among
ourselves Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn
back, say you: "Bear witness that we
(at least) are Muslims
(bowing to Allah's will)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
You people of the Book! why dispute
you about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel were not evealed till
after him? Have you no understanding? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Ah! you are those who fell to disputing
(even)
in matters of which you had some knowledge! but why dispute you in
matters of which you have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and
you who know not! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian;
but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's, (which
is Islam), and he joined not
gods with Allah. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
Without a doubt, among men, the nearest
of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Messenger
and those who believe: and Allah is the Protector of those who have
faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
It is the wish of a section of the
People of the Book to lead you astray. But they shall lead astray
(not you),
but themselves, and they do not perceive! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
You People of the Book! Why reject
you the Signs of Allah, of which you are (yourselves)
witnesses? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 71. |
You People of the Book! Why do you
clothe truth with falsehood, and conceal the Truth, while you have
knowledge? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 72. |
A section of the People of the Book
say: "Believe in the morning what is revealed to the Believers,
but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves)
turn back; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
"And believe no one unless he
follows your religion." Say: "True guidance is the guidance
of Allah; (fear you)
lest a revelation be sent to someone (else)
like unto that which was sent unto you? Or that those (receiving
such revelation) should engage
you in argument before your Lord?" Say: "All bounties are
in the hand of Allah: He grants them to whom He pleases: and Allah
cares for all, and He knows all things." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 74. |
For His Mercy He specially chooses
whom He pleases: for Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 75. |
Among the People of the Book are some
who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily)
pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin,
will not repay it unless you constantly stand demanding, because,
they say, "there is no call on us (to
keep faith) with these ignorant
(pagans)."
But they tell a lie against Allah and (well)
they know it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 76. |
Nay - those that keep their plighted
faith and act aright - verily Allah loves those who act aright. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
As for those who sell the faith they
owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall
have no portion in the Hereafter: nor will Allah (deign
to) speak to them or look at
them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleanse them (of
sin): they shall have a grievous
Penalty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 78. |
There is among them a section who distort
the Book with their tongues: (as
they read) you would think it
is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say,
"That is from Allah," but it is not from Allah: it is they
who tell a lie against Allah, and (well)
they know it! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
It is not (possible)
that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the Prophetic
Office, should say to people: "Be you my worshippers rather than
Allah's: on the contrary (he
would say): "Be you worshippers
of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: for you have taught the
Book and you have studied it earnestly." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
Nor would he instruct you to take angels
and prophets for Lords and Patrons. What! Would he bid you to unbelief
after you have bowed your will (to
Allah in Islam)? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 81. |
Behold! Allah took the covenant of
the Prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes
to you a Messenger, confirming what is with you; do you believe him
and render him help." Allah said: "Do you agree, and take
this My Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree."
He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 82. |
If any turn back after this, they are
perverted transgressors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Do they seek for other than the Religion
of Allah? - While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have,
willing or unwilling, bowed to His Will (accepted
Islam), and to Him shall they
all be brought back. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 84. |
Say: "We believe in Allah, and
in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham,
Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (Books)
given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets, from their Lord: we make
no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do
we bow our will (in Islam)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 85. |
If anyone desires a religion other
than Islam (submission to Allah),
never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be
in the ranks of those who have lost (all
spiritual good). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 86. |
How shall Allah guide those who reject
faith after they accepted it and bore witness that the Messenger was
true and that Clear Signs had come unto them? But Allah guides not
a people unjust. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 87. |
Of such the reward is that on them
(rests)
the curse of Allah, of His angels, and of all mankind - |
|
|
|
|
|
| 88. |
In that will they dwell; nor will their
penalty be lightened, nor respite be their (lot); |
|
|
|
|
|
| 89. |
Except for those that repent
(even)
after that, and make amends; for verily Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
But those who reject faith after they
accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith - never
will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have
(of set purpose)
gone astray. |
