Then whoever disputes
with you concerning him ['Isa (Jesus)]
after (all this)
knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. 'Isa
(Jesus)] being a slave
of Allah, and having no share in Divinity]
say: (O Muhammad SAW)
"Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women,
ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke
(sincerely) the Curse of Allah
upon those who lie." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
Verily! This is
the true narrative [about the story of 'Isa
(Jesus)],
and, La ilaha illallah
(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the One and
the Only True God, Who has neither a wife nor a son).
And indeed, Allah is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
And if they turn
away (and do not accept these
true proofs and evidences), then
surely, Allah is All-Aware of those who do mischief. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW):
"O people of the Scripture
(Jews and Christians): Come to
a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah,
and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall
take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away,
say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
O people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians)!
Why do you dispute about Ibrahim (Abraham),
while the Tawrat (Torah)
and the Injil (Gospel)
were not revealed till after him? Have you then no sense? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Verily, you are those
who have disputed about that of which you have knowledge. Why do you
then dispute concerning that of which you have no knowledge? It is
Allah Who knows, and you know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
Ibrahim
(Abraham)
was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim Hanifa
(Islamic Monotheism - to worship
none but Allah Alone)
and he was not of Al-Mushrikun
(See V.2:105). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
Verily, among
mankind who have the best claim to Ibrahim
(Abraham) are those who followed
him, and this Prophet (Muhammad
SAW) and those who have believed
(Muslims).
And Allah is the Wali
(Protector and Helper) of the
believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
A party of the
people of the Scripture (Jews
and Christians) wish to lead
you astray. But they shall not lead astray anyone except themselves,
and they perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
O people of the
Scripture! (Jews and Christians):
"Why do you disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah,
[the Verses about Prophet Muhammad SAW present in the Tawrat
(Torah)
and the Injil (Gospel)]
while you (yourselves)
bear witness (to their truth)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 71. |
O people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians):
"Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you
know?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 72. |
And a party of the people
of the Scripture say: "Believe in the morning in that which is revealed
to the believers (Muslims),
and reject it at the end of the day, so that they may turn back. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
And believe no
one except the one who follows your religion. Say
(O Muhammad SAW): "Verily!
Right guidance is the Guidance of Allah" and do not believe
that anyone can receive like that which you have received
(of Revelation) except when he
follows your religion, otherwise they would engage you in argument
before your Lord. Say (O Muhammad
SAW): "All the bounty is in the
Hand of Allah; He grants to whom He wills. And Allah
is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, the All-Knower." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 74. |
He selects for
His Mercy (Islam and
the Qur-an with Prophethood)
whom He wills and Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 75. |
Among the people
of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)
is he who, if entrusted with a Qintar
(a great amount of wealth, etc.),
will readily pay it back; and among them there is he who, if entrusted
with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless you constantly
stand demanding, because they say: "There is no blame on us to betray
and take the properties of the illiterates (Arabs)."
But they tell a lie against Allah while they know it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 76. |
Yes, whoever fulfils
his pledge and fears Allah much; verily, then Allah
loves those who are Al-Muttaqun
(the pious - see V.2:2). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
Verily, those
who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and
their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter (Paradise).
Neither will Allah speak to them, nor look at them on the Day
of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful
torment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 78. |
And verily, among
them is a party who distort the Book with their tongues
(as they read), so that you may
think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book, and they say:
"This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah;
and they speak a lie against Allah while they know it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
It is not
(possible) for any human being
to whom Allah has given the Book and Al-Hikmah
(the knowledge and understanding of the laws of religion, etc.)
and Prophethood to say to the people: "Be my worshippers rather than
Allah's." On the contrary
(he would say): "Be you Rabbaniyyun
(learned men of religion who
practise what they know and also preach others),
because you are teaching the Book, and you are studying it." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
Nor would he order
you to take angels and Prophets for lords (gods).
Would he order you to disbelieve after you have submitted to Allah's
Will? (Tafsir At-Tabari). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 81. |
And
(remember) when Allah
took the Covenant of the Prophets, saying: "Take whatever I gave you
from the Book and Hikmah
(understanding of the Laws of Allah),
and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger
(Muhammad SAW) confirming
what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him." Allah
said: "Do you agree (to it)
and will you take up My Covenant
(which I conclude with you)?"
They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness; and I am with
you among the witnesses (for
this)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 82. |
Then whoever turns
away after this, they are the Fasiqun
(rebellious: those who turn away from Allah's Obedience). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Do they seek other
than the religion of Allah
(the true Islamic Monotheism worshipping none but Allah Alone),
while to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth,
willingly or unwillingly. And to Him shall they all be returned. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 84. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW): "We
believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and
what was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham),
Isma'il (Ishmael),
Ishaq (Isaac),
Ya'qub (Jacob)
and Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub
(Jacob)]
and what was given to Musa (Moses),
'Isa (Jesus)
and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one
another among them and to Him
(Allah) we have submitted
(in Islam)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 85. |
And whoever seeks a
religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him,
and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 86. |
How shall Allah
guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and after they bore
witness that the Messenger (Muhammad
SAW) is true and after clear
proofs had come unto them? And Allah guides not the people
who are Zalimun
(polytheists and wrong-doers). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 87. |
They are those
whose recompense is that on them
(rests) the Curse of Allah,
of the angels, and of all mankind. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 88. |
They will abide
therein (Hell).
Neither will their torment be lightened, nor will it be delayed or
postponed (for a while). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 89. |
Except for those who
repent after that and do righteous deeds. Verily, Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
Verily, those
who disbelieved after their Belief and then went on increasing in
their disbelief (i.e. disbelief
in the Qur-an and in Prophet Muhammad SAW)
- never will their repentance be accepted [because
they repent only by their tongues and not from their hearts].
And they are those who are astray. |
