And whoso disputes with you concerning
him, after the knowledge which has come unto you, say (unto
him): Come! We will summon our
sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and ourselves and
yourselves, then we will pray humbly (to
our Lord) and (solemnly)
invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
Lo! This verily is the true narrative.
There is no God save Allah, and lo! Allah is the Mighty, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
And if they turn away, then Lo! Allah
is Aware {Al-'Alim}
of (who are)
the corrupter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
Say: O People of the Scripture. Come
to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but
Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partners unto Him, and that none
of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away,
then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered
(unto Him). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
O People of the Scripture! Why will
you argue about Abraham {Ibrahim},
when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed till after him? Have
you then no sense? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Lo! you are those who argue about that
whereof you have some knowledge: Why then argue you concerning that
whereof you have no knowledge? Allah knoweth. You know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
Abraham {Ibrahim}
was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who
had surrendered (to Allah),
and he was not of the idolaters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
Lo! those of mankind who have the best
claim to Abraham {Ibrahim}
are those who followed him, and this Prophet and those who believe
(with him);
and Allah is the Protecting Friend of the believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
A party of the people of the Scripture
long to make you go astray; and they make none to go astray except
themselves, but they perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve
you in the revelations of Allah, when you (yourselves)
bear witness (to the truth)
? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 71. |
O People of the Scripture! Why confound
you truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the truth? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 72. |
And a party of the People of the Scripture
say: Believe in that which has been revealed, unto those who believe
at the opening of the day, and disbelieve at the end thereof, in order
that they may return |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
And believe not save in one who follows
your religion--Say (O Muhammad):
Lo! the guidance is Allah's guidance--that any one is given the like
of that which was given unto you or that they may argue with you in
the presence of their Lord. Say
(O Muhammad): Lo! the bounty
is in Allah's hand. He bestows it on whom He will. Allah is All Embracing,
All Knowing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 74. |
He selects for His mercy whom He will.
Allah is of infinite bounty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 75. |
Among the People of the Scripture there
is he who, if you trust him with a weight of treasure, will return
it to you. And among them there is he who, if you trust him with a
piece of gold, will not return it to you unless you keep standing
over him. That is because they say: We have no duty to the Gentiles.
They speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 76. |
Nay, but (the
chosen of Allah is) he who fulfills
his pledge and wards off (evil);
for lo! Allah loves those who ward off (evil). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
Lo! those who purchase a small gain
at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths, they have no portion
in the Hereafter. Allah will neither speak to them nor look upon them
on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow. Theirs will
be a painful doom. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 78. |
And Lo! there is a party of them who
distort the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think that
what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture.
And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and they
speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
It is not (possible)
for any human being unto whom Allah had given the Scripture and wisdom
and the Prophethood that he should afterwards have said unto mankind:
Be slaves of me instead of Allah; but (what
he said was): Be you faithful
servants of the Lord by virtue of your constant teaching of the Scripture
and of your constant study thereof. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
And he commanded you not that you should
take the angels and the Prophets for lords. Would he command you to
disbelieve after you had surrendered (to
Allah)? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 81. |
When Allah made (His)
covenant with the Prophets, (He
said): Behold that which I have
given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will
come unto you a messenger, confirming that which you possess. You
shall believe in him and you shall help him. He said: Do you agree,
and will you take up My burden
(which I lay upon you) in this
(matter)?
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 82. |
Then whosoever after this shall turn
away: they will be miscreants. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Seek they other than the religion of
Allah, when unto Him submits whosoever is in the heavens and the earth,
willingly, or unwillingly, and unto Him they will be returned. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 84. |
Say (O
Muhammad): We believe in Allah
and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto
Abraham {Ibrahim}
and Ishmael {Isma'il)
and Isaac and Jacob {Ya'qub}
and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses {Musa}
and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction
between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 85. |
And whoso seeks as religion other than
the Surrender (to Allah)
it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 86. |
How shall Allah guide a people who
disbelieved after their belief and (after)
they bore witness that the messenger is true and after clear proofs
(of Allah's sovereignty)
had come unto them. And Allah guides not wrongdoing folk. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 87. |
As for such, their guerdon is that
on them rests the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 88. |
They will abide therein. Their doom
will not be lightened, neither will they be reprieved |
|
|
|
|
|
| 89. |
Save those who afterward repent and
do right. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
Lo! those who disbelieve after their
(profession of)
belief, and afterward grow violent in disbelief: their repentance
will not be accepted. And such are those who are astray. |
