People of Book verses
Surah Name Verses number and verse
The Cow105. It is never the wish of the disbelievers from among the People of the Book, nor of the polytheists, that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But God chooses for His mercy whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
The Cow109. Many of the People of the Book wish to turn you back into unbelievers after you have believed, out of envy on their part, after the Truth has become clear to them. But pardon and overlook, until God brings His command. God has power over all things.
The Cow121. Those to whom We have given the Scripture follow it, as it ought to be followed—these believe in it. But as for those who reject it—these are the losers.
The Cow144. We have seen your face turned towards the heaven. So We will turn you towards a direction that will satisfy you. So turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it. Those who were given the Book know that it is the Truth from their Lord; and God is not unaware of what they do.
The Cow145. Even if you were to bring to those who were given the Book every proof, they would not follow your direction, nor are you to follow their direction, nor do they follow the direction of one another. And if you were to follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would be in that case one of the wrongdoers.
The Cow146. Those to whom We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own children. But some of them conceal the truth while they know.
The Cow147. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be a skeptic.
The Cow148. To every community is a direction towards which it turns. Therefore, race towards goodness. Wherever you may be, God will bring you all together. God is capable of everything.
The Family of Amran18. God bears witness that there is no god but He, as do the angels, and those endowed with knowledge—upholding justice. There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.
The Family of Amran19. Religion with God is Islam. Those to whom the Scripture was given differed only after knowledge came to them, out of envy among themselves. Whoever rejects the signs of God—God is quick to take account.
The Family of Amran20. If they argue with you, say, “I have surrendered myself to God, and those who follow me.” And say to those who were given the Scripture, and to the unlearned, “Have you surrendered?” If they have surrendered, then they are guided; but if they turn away, then your duty is to convey. God is Seeing of the servants.
The Family of Amran21. As for those who defy God’s revelations, and kill the prophets unjustly, and kill those who advocate justice among the people—promise them a painful retribution.
The Family of Amran22. They are those whose deeds will come to nothing, in this world and in the Hereafter; and they will have no saviors.
The Family of Amran23. Have you not considered those who were given a share of the Scripture, as they were called to the Scripture of God to arbitrate between them; then some of them turned back, and declined?
The Family of Amran24. That is because they said, “The Fire will not touch us except for a limited number of days.” They have been misled in their religion by the lies they fabricated.
The Family of Amran25. How about when We gather them for a Day in which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid in full for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged?
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
The Family of Amran65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
The Family of Amran66. Here you are—you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
The Family of Amran67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
The Family of Amran68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
The Family of Amran69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
The Family of Amran70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
The Family of Amran71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
The Family of Amran72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
The Family of Amran73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
The Family of Amran74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
The Family of Amran75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
The Family of Amran76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety—God loves the pious.
The Family of Amran77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
The Family of Amran78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
The Family of Amran79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
The Family of Amran80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran93. All food was permissible to the Children of Israel, except what Israel forbade for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, “Bring the Torah, and read it, if you are truthful.”
The Family of Amran94. Whoever forges lies about God after that—these are the unjust.
The Family of Amran95. Say, “God has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Abraham the Monotheist; he was not a Pagan.”
The Family of Amran96. The first house established for mankind is the one at Bekka; blessed, and guidance for all people.
The Family of Amran97. In it are evident signs; the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who refuse—God is Independent of the worlds.
The Family of Amran98. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you reject the Revelations of God, when God witnesses what you do?”
The Family of Amran99. Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you hinder from God’s path those who believe, seeking to distort it, even though you are witnesses? God is not unaware of what you do.”
The Family of Amran100. O you who believe! If you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they will turn you, after your belief, into disbelievers.
The Family of Amran101. And how could you disbelieve, when God’s revelations are being recited to you, and among you is His Messenger? Whoever cleaves to God has been guided to a straight path.
The Family of Amran102. O you who believe! Revere God with due reverence, and do not die except as Muslims.
The Family of Amran103. And hold fast to the rope of God, altogether, and do not become divided. And remember God’s blessings upon you; how you were enemies, and He reconciled your hearts, and by His grace you became brethren. And you were on the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it. God thus clarifies His revelations for you, so that you may be guided.
The Family of Amran104. And let there be among you a community calling to virtue, and advocating righteousness, and deterring from evil. These are the successful.
The Family of Amran105. And do not be like those who separated and disputed after the clear proofs came to them; for them is a great punishment.
The Family of Amran106. On the Day when some faces will be whitened, and some faces will be blackened. As for those whose faces are blackened: “Did you disbelieve after your belief?” Then taste the punishment for having disbelieved.
The Family of Amran107. But as for those whose faces are whitened: they are in God’s mercy, remaining in it forever.
The Family of Amran108. These are the revelations of God. We recite them to you in truth. God desires no injustice for mankind.
The Family of Amran109. To God belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth, and to God all events are referred.
The Family of Amran110. You are the best community that ever emerged for humanity: you advocate what is moral, and forbid what is immoral, and believe in God. Had the People of the Scripture believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are the believers, but most of them are sinners.
The Family of Amran111. They will do you no harm, beyond insulting you. And if they fight you, they will turn around and flee, then they will not be helped.
The Family of Amran112. They shall be humiliated wherever they are encountered, except through a rope from God, and a rope from the people; and they incurred wrath from God, and were stricken with misery. That is because they rejected God’s revelations, and killed the prophets unjustly. That is because they rebelled and committed aggression.
The Family of Amran113. They are not alike. Among the People of the Scripture is a community that is upright; they recite God’s revelations throughout the night, and they prostrate themselves.
The Family of Amran114. They believe in God and the Last Day, and advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and are quick to do good deeds. These are among the righteous.
The Family of Amran115. Whatever good they do, they will not be denied it. God knows the righteous.
The Family of Amran
The Family of Amran183. Those who said, “God has made a covenant with us, that we shall not believe in any messenger unless he brings us an offering to be consumed by fire.” Say, “Messengers have come to you before me with proofs, and with what you asked for; so why did you assassinate them, if you are truthful?”
The Family of Amran184. If they accuse you of lying, messengers before you were accused of lying. They came with the proofs, and the Psalms, and the Illuminating Scripture.
The Family of Amran185. Every soul will have a taste of death, and you will receive your recompense on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is swayed from the Fire, and admitted to Paradise, has won. The life of this world is merely enjoyment of delusion.
The Family of Amran186. You will be tested through your possessions and your persons; and you will hear from those who received the Scripture before you, and from the idol worshipers, much abuse. But if you persevere and lead a righteous life—that indeed is a mark of great determination.
The Family of Amran187. God received a pledge from those who were given the Scripture: “You shall proclaim it to the people, and not conceal it.” But they disregarded it behind their backs, and exchanged it for a small price. What a miserable exchange they made.
The Family of Amran188. Do not think that those who rejoice in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they have not done—do not think they can evade the punishment. They will have a painful punishment.
The Family of Amran189. To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. God has power over all things.
The Family of Amran190. In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, are signs for people of understanding.
The Family of Amran191. Those who remember God while standing, and sitting, and on their sides; and they reflect upon the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, You did not create this in vain, glory to You, so protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
The Family of Amran192. “Our Lord, whomever You commit to the Fire, You have disgraced. The wrongdoers will have no helpers.”
The Family of Amran193. “Our Lord, we have heard a caller calling to the faith: `Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, and remit our misdeeds, and make us die in the company of the virtuous.”
The Family of Amran194. “Our Lord, and give us what You have promised us through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Surely You never break a promise.”
The Family of Amran195. And so their Lord answered them: “I will not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female. You are one of another. For those who emigrated, and were expelled from their homes, and were persecuted because of Me, and fought and were killed—I will remit for them their sins, and will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow—a reward from God. With God is the ultimate reward.”
The Family of Amran196. Do not be impressed by the disbelievers’ movements in the land.
The Family of Amran197. A brief enjoyment, then their abode is Hell. What a miserable resort.
The Family of Amran198. As for those who feared their Lord: for them will be gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever—hospitality from God. What God possesses is best for the just.
The Family of Amran199. Among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in God, and in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed to them. They are humble before God, and they do not sell God’s revelations for a cheap price. These will have their reward with their Lord. God is swift in reckoning.
The Family of Amran200. O you who believe! Be patient, and advocate patience, and be united, and revere God, so that you may thrive.
The Women51. Have you not considered those who were given a share of the Book? They believe in superstition and evil powers, and say of those who disbelieve, “These are better guided on the way than the believers.”
The Women52. Those are they whom God has cursed. Whomever God curses, you will find no savior for him.
The Women53. Or do they own a share of the kingdom? Then they would not give people a speck.
The Women54. Or do they envy the people for what God has given them of His grace? We have given the family of Abraham the Book and wisdom, and We have given them a great kingdom.
The Women55. Among them are those who believed in it, and among them are those who held back from it. Hell is a sufficient Inferno.
The Women56. Those who reject Our revelations—We will scorch them in a Fire. Every time their skins are cooked, We will replace them with other skins, so they will experience the suffering. God is Most Powerful, Most Wise.
The Women57. As for those who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. They will have purified spouses therein, and We will admit them into a shady shade.
The Women58. God instructs you to give back things entrusted to you to their owners. And when you judge between people, judge with justice. God’s instructions to you are excellent. God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
The Women59. O you who believe! Obey God and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you dispute over anything, refer it to God and the Messenger, if you believe in God and the Last Day. That is best, and a most excellent determination.
The Women60. Have you not observed those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, yet they seek Satanic sources for legislation, in spite of being commanded to reject them? Satan means to mislead them far away.
The Women61. And when it is said to them, “Come to what God has revealed, and to the Messenger,” you see the hypocrites shunning you completely.
The Women62. How about when a disaster strikes them because what their hands have put forward, and then they come to you swearing by God: “We only intended goodwill and reconciliation”?
The Women63. They are those whom God knows what is in their hearts. So ignore them, and admonish them, and say to them concerning themselves penetrating words.
The Women64. We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by God’s leave. Had they, when they wronged themselves, come to you, and prayed for God's forgiveness, and the Messenger had prayed for their forgiveness, they would have found God Relenting and Merciful.
The Women65. But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they call you to arbitrate in their disputes, and then find within themselves no resentment regarding your decisions, and submit themselves completely.
The Women66. Had We decreed for them: “Kill yourselves,” or “Leave your homes,” they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But had they done what they were instructed to do, it would have been better for them, and a firmer confirmation.
The Women67. And We would have given them from Our presence a rich compensation.
The Women68. And We would have guided them on a straight path.
The Women69. Whoever obeys God and the Messenger—these are with those whom God has blessed—among the prophets, and the sincere, and the martyrs, and the upright. Excellent are those as companions.
The Women70. That is the grace from God. God suffices as Knower.
The Women122. But as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. The promise of God is true—and who is more truthful in speech than God?
The Women123. It is not in accordance with your wishes, nor in accordance with the wishes of the People of the Scripture. Whoever works evil will pay for it, and will not find for himself, besides God, any protector or savior.
The Women124. But whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, and is a believer—those will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged a whit.
The Women125. And who is better in religion than he who submits himself wholly to God, and is a doer of good, and follows the faith of Abraham the Monotheist? God has chosen Abraham for a friend.
The Women
The Women131. To God belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. We have instructed those who were given the Book before you, and you, to be conscious of God. But if you refuse—to God belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. God is in no need, Praiseworthy.
The Women132. To God belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. God suffices as Manager.
The Women133. If He wills, He can do away with you, O people, and bring others. God is Able to do that.
The Women
The Women136. O you who believe! Believe in God and His messenger, and the Book He sent down to His messenger, and the Book He sent down before. Whoever rejects God, His angels, His Books, His messengers, and the Last Day, has strayed far in error.
The Women
The Women140. He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear God’s revelations being rejected, or ridiculed, do not sit with them until they engage in some other subject. Otherwise, you would be like them. God will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers, into Hell, altogether.
The Women
The Women150. Those who disbelieve in God and His messengers, and want to separate between God and His messengers, and say, “We believe in some, and reject some,” and wish to take a path in between.
The Women151. These are the unbelievers, truly. We have prepared for the unbelievers a shameful punishment.
The Women152. As for those who believe in God and His messengers, and make no distinction between any of them—He will give them their rewards. God is Forgiver and Merciful.
The Women153. The People of the Scripture challenge you to bring down to them a book from the sky. They had asked Moses for something even greater. They said, “Show us God plainly.” The thunderbolt struck them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf for worship, even after the clear proofs had come to them. Yet We pardoned that, and We gave Moses a clear authority.
The Women
The Women163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms.
The Women164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And God spoke to Moses directly.
The Women165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before God after the coming of the messengers. God is Powerful and Wise.
The Women166. But God bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though God is a sufficient witness.
The Women167. Those who disbelieve and repel from God’s path have gone far astray.
The Women168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; God is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path.
The Women169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for God.
The Women170. O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe—that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise.
The Women171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain—it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him—that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector.
The Women172. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant—He will round them up to Himself altogether.
The Women173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from God, no lord and no savior.
The Women174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light.
The Women175. As for those who believe in God, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path.
The Food5. Today all good things are made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste believing women, and chaste women from the people who were given the Scripture before you, provided you give them their dowries, and take them in marriage, not in adultery, nor as mistresses. But whoever rejects faith, his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
The Food
The Food7. And Remember God’s blessings upon you, and His covenant which He covenanted with you; when you said, “We hear and we obey.” And remain conscious of God, for God knows what the hearts contain.
The Food8. O you who believe! Be upright to God, witnessing with justice; and let not the hatred of a certain people prevent you from acting justly. Adhere to justice, for that is nearer to piety; and fear God. God is informed of what you do.
The Food9. God has promised those who believe and work righteousness: they will have forgiveness and a great reward.
The Food10. As for those who disbelieve and reject Our revelations—these are the inmates of Hell.
The Food11. O you who believe! Remember God's blessings upon you; when certain people intended to extend their hands against you, and He restrained their hands from you. So reverence God, and in God let the believers put their trust.
The Food12. God received a pledge from the Children of Israel, and We raised among them twelve chiefs. God said, “I am with you; if you perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and believe in My messengers and support them, and lend God a loan of righteousness; I will remit your sins, and admit you into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever among you disbelieves afterwards has strayed from the right way.”
The Food13. Because of their breaking their pledge, We cursed them, and made their hearts hard. They twist the words out of their context, and they disregarded some of what they were reminded of. You will always witness deceit from them, except for a few of them. But pardon them, and overlook. God loves the doers of good.
The Food14. And from those who say, “We are Christians,” We received their pledge, but they neglected some of what they were reminded of. So We provoked enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Resurrection; God will then inform them of what they used to craft.
The Food15. O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, clarifying for you much of what you kept hidden of the Book, and overlooking much. A light from God has come to you, and a clear Book.
The Food16. God guides with it whoever follows His approval to the ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness into light, by His permission, and He guides them in a straight path.
The Food17. They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Christ, the son of Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent God, if He willed, from annihilating the Christ son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?” To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates whatever He wills, and God has power over everything.
The Food18. The Jews and the Christians say, “We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then does He punish you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them, and to Him is the return.
The Food19. O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making things clear to you—after a cessation of messengers—so that you cannot say, “No preacher has come to us, and no warner.” In fact, a preacher has come to you, and a warner; and God is Capable of everything.
The Food
The Food43. But why do they come to you for judgment, when they have the Torah, in which is God’s Law? Yet they turn away after that. These are not believers.
The Food44. We have revealed the Torah, wherein is guidance and light. The submissive prophets ruled the Jews according to it, so did the rabbis and the scholars, as they were required to protect God’s Book, and were witnesses to it. So do not fear people, but fear Me. And do not sell My revelations for a cheap price. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the unbelievers.
The Food45. And We wrote for them in it: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and an equal wound for a wound; but whoever forgoes it in charity, it will serve as atonement for him. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the evildoers.
The Food46. In their footsteps, We sent Jesus son of Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded him; and We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous.
The Food47. So let the people of the Gospel rule according to what God revealed in it. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the sinners.
The Food48. And We revealed to you the Book, with truth, confirming the Scripture that preceded it, and superseding it. So judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires if they differ from the truth that has come to you. For each of you We have assigned a law and a method. Had God willed, He could have made you a single nation, but He tests you through what He has given you. So compete in righteousness. To God is your return, all of you; then He will inform you of what you had disputed.
The Food49. And judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires. And beware of them, lest they lure you away from some of what God has revealed to you. But if they turn away, know that God intends to strike them with some of their sins. In fact, a great many people are corrupt.
The Food
The Food59. Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do you resent us only because we believe in God, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed previously; and most of you are sinners?”
The Food60. Say, “Shall I inform you of worse than that for retribution from God? He whom God has cursed, and with whom He became angry; and He turned some of them into apes, and swine, and idol worshipers. These are in a worse position, and further away from the right way.”
The Food61. When they come to you, they say, “We believe,” though they have entered with disbelief, and they have departed with it. But God is well aware of what they hide.
The Food62. You see many of them competing with one another in sin and hostility, and their consuming of what is illicit. What they have been doing is truly evil.
The Food63. Why do the rabbis and the priests not prevent them from speaking sinfully and from consuming forbidden wealth? Evil is what they have been doing.
The Food64. The Jews say, “God’s hand is tied.” It is their hands that are tied, and they are cursed for what they say. In fact, His hands are outstretched; He gives as He wills. Certainly, what was revealed to you from your Lord will increase many of them in defiance and blasphemy. And We placed between them enmity and hatred, until the Day of Resurrection. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, God extinguishes it. And they strive to spread corruption on earth. God does not love the corrupters.
The Food65. Had the People of the Scripture believed and been righteous, We would have remitted their sins, and admitted them into the Gardens of Bliss.
The Food66. Had they observed the Torah, and the Gospel, and what was revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed amply from above them, and from beneath their feet. Among them is a moderate community, but evil is what many of them are doing.
The Food67. O Messenger, convey what was revealed to you from your Lord. But if you do not, then you would not have delivered His message. And God will protect you from the people. God does not guide the disbelieving people.
The Food68. Say, “O People of the Scripture! You have no basis until you uphold the Torah, and the Gospel, and what is revealed to you from your Lord.” But what is revealed to you from your Lord will increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief, so do not be sorry for the disbelieving people.
The Food69. Those who believe, and the Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and does what is right—they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
The Food70. We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, and We sent to them messengers. Whenever a messenger came to them with what their souls did not desire, some of them they accused of lying, and others they put to death.
The Food71. They assumed there would be no punishment, so they turned blind and deaf. Then God redeemed them, but then again many of them turned blind and deaf. But God is Seeing of what they do.
The Food72. They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.”
The Food73. They disbelieve those who say, “God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve.
The Food74. Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful.
The Food75. The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the revelations to them; then note how deluded they are.
The Food76. Say, “Do you worship, besides God, what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But God: He is the Hearer, the Knower.
The Food77. Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth; and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.”
The Food78. Cursed were those who disbelieved from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because they rebelled and used to transgress.
The Food79. They used not to prevent one another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what they used to do.
The Food80. You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their souls prompts them to do. The wrath of God fell upon them, and in the torment they will remain.
The Food81. Had they believed in God and the Prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them. But many of them are immoral.
The Food82. You will find that the people most hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And you will find that the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant.
The Food83. And when they hear what was revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears, as they recognize the truth in it. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so count us among the witnesses.”
The Food84. “And why should we not believe in God, and in the truth that has come to us, and hope that our Lord will include us among the righteous people?”
The Food85. God will reward them for what they say—Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will stay forever. Such is the reward of the righteous.
The Food86. But as for those who disbelieve and deny Our signs—these are the inmates of the Fire.
The Cattle20. Those to whom We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own children; but those who have lost their souls do not believe.
The Cattle
The Cattle83. That was Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We elevate by degrees whomever We will. Your Lord is Wise and Informed.
The Cattle84. And We gave him Isaac and Jacob—each of them We guided. And We guided Noah previously; and from his descendants David, and Solomon, and Job, and Joseph, and Moses, and Aaron. Thus We reward the righteous.
The Cattle85. And Zechariah, and John, and Jesus, and Elias—every one of them was of the upright.
The Cattle86. And Ishmael, and Elijah, and Jonah, and Lot—We favored each one of them over all other people.
The Cattle87. And of their ancestors, and their descendants, and their siblings—We chose them, and guided them to a straight path.
The Cattle88. Such is God’s guidance. He guides with it whomever He wills of His servants. Had they associated, their deeds would have gone in vain.
The Cattle89. Those are they to whom We gave the Book, and wisdom, and prophethood. If these reject them, We have entrusted them to others who do not reject them.
The Cattle90. Those are they whom God has guided, so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask of you no compensation for it; it is just a reminder for all mankind.”
The Cattle
The Cattle108. Do not insult those they call upon besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility and ignorance. We made attractive to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do.
The Cattle
The Cattle114. “Shall I seek a judge other than God, when He is the One who revealed to you the Book, explained in detail?” Those to whom We gave the Book know that it is the truth revealed from your Lord. So do not be of those who doubt.
The Cattle115. The Word of your Lord has been completed, in truth and justice. There is no changing to His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
The Cattle
The Cattle154. Then We gave Moses the Scripture, perfect for the righteous, and explaining everything clearly, and a beacon, and mercy, that they may believe in the encounter with their Lord.
The Cattle155. This too is a blessed Scripture that We revealed; so follow it, and be righteous, that you may receive mercy.
The Cattle156. Lest you say, “The Scripture was revealed to two parties before us, and we were unaware of their teachings.”
The Cattle157. Or lest you say, “Had the Scripture been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they.” Clarification has come to you from your Lord, and guidance, and mercy. Who then does greater wrong than he who gives the lie to God's messages, and turns away from them? We will repay those who turn away from Our messages with the worst kind of punishment, because of their turning away.
The Cattle158. Are they waiting for anything but for the angels to come to them, or for your Lord to arrive, or for some of your Lord’s signs to come? On the Day when some of your Lord’s signs come, no soul will benefit from its faith unless it had believed previously, or had earned goodness through its faith. Say, “Wait, we too are waiting.”
The Cattle159. As for those who divided their religion and became sects—you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with God; then He will inform them of what they used to do.
The Cattle160. Whoever comes up with a good deed will have ten times its like; and whoever comes up with an evil deed will be repaid only with its equivalent—they will not be wronged.
The Cattle161. Say, “My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the creed of Abraham the Monotheist, who was not a polytheist.”
The Cattle162. Say, “My prayer and my worship, and my life and my death, are devoted to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
The Cattle163. No associate has He. Thus I am commanded, and I am the first of those who submit.
The Cattle164. Say, “Am I to seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?” No soul gets except what it is due, and no soul bears the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you regarding your disputes.
The Cattle165. It is He who made you successors on the earth, and raised some of you in ranks over others, in order to test you through what He has given you. Your Lord is Quick in retribution, and He is Forgiving and Merciful.
The Immunity29. Fight those who do not believe in God, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, nor abide by the religion of truth—from among those who received the Scripture—until they pay the due tax, willingly or unwillingly.
The Immunity30. The Jews said, “Ezra is the son of God,” and the Christians said, “The Messiah is the son of God.” These are their statements, out of their mouths. They emulate the statements of those who blasphemed before. May God assail them! How deceived they are!
The Immunity31. They have taken their rabbis and their priests as lords instead of God, as well as the Messiah son of Mary. Although they were commanded to worship none but The One God. There is no god except He. Glory be to Him; High above what they associate with Him.
The Immunity32. They want to extinguish God’s light with their mouths, but God refuses except to complete His light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.
The Immunity33. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, in order to make it prevail over all religions, even though the idolaters dislike it.
Jonah37. Postponement is an increase in disbelief—by which those who disbelieve are led astray. They allow it one year, and forbid it another year, in order to conform to the number made sacred by God, thus permitting what God has forbidden. The evil of their deeds seems good to them. God does not guide the disbelieving people.
Jonah38. O you who believe! What is the matter with you, when it is said to you, “Mobilize in the cause of God,” you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the present life to the Hereafter? The enjoyment of the present life, compared to the Hereafter, is only a little.
Jonah39. Unless you mobilize, He will punish you most painfully, and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. God has power over all things.
Jonah40. If you do not help him, God has already helped him, when those who disbelieved expelled him, and he was the second of two in the cave. He said to his friend, “Do not worry, God is with us.” And God made His tranquility descend upon him, and supported him with forces you did not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the Word of God is the Highest. God is Mighty and Wise.
Jonah41. Mobilize, light or heavy, and strive with your possessions and your lives in the cause of God. That is better for you, if you only knew.
Jonah42. Had the gain been immediate, and the journey shorter, they would have followed you; but the distance seemed too long for them. Still they swear by God: “Had we been able, we would have marched out with you.” They damn their own souls, and God knows that they are lying.
Jonah43. May God pardon you! Why did you give them permission before it became clear to you who are the truthful ones, and who are the liars?
Jonah44. Those who believe in God and the Last Day do not ask you for exemption from striving with their possessions and their lives. God is fully aware of the righteous.
Jonah45. Only those who do not believe in God and the Last Day ask you for exemption. Their hearts are full of doubts, so they waver in their doubts.
Jonah46. Had they wanted to mobilize, they would have made preparations for it; but God disliked their participation, so he held them back, and it was said, “Stay behind with those who stay behind.”
Jonah47. Had they mobilized with you, they would have added only to your difficulties, and they would have spread rumors in your midst, trying to sow discord among you. Some of you are avid listeners to them. God is Aware of the wrongdoers.
Hud116. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life, and He causes death. And besides God, you have neither protector, nor supporter.
Hud117. God has redeemed the Prophet, and the Emigrants, and the Supporters—those who followed him in the hour of difficulty—after the hearts of some of them almost swerved. Then He pardoned them. He is Kind towards them, Compassionate.
The Thunder36. Those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in what was revealed to you, while some factions reject parts of it. Say, “I am commanded to worship God, and to never associate anything with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return.”
The Thunder
The Thunder43. Those who disbelieve say, “You are not a messenger.” Say, “God is a sufficient witness between me and you, and whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”
Abraham31. Tell My servants who have believed to perform the prayers, and to give from what We have given them, secretly and publicly, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading nor friendship.
Abraham
Abraham52. This is a proclamation for mankind, that they may be warned thereby, and know that He is One God, and that people of understanding may remember.
The Bee36. To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
The Bee
The Bee43. We did not send before you except men whom We inspired. So ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.
The Bee44. With the clarifications and the scriptures. And We revealed to you the Reminder, that you may clarify to the people what was revealed to them, and that they may reflect.
The Bee
The Bee63. By God, We sent messengers to communities before you, but Satan made their deeds appear alluring to them. He is their master today, and they will have a painful punishment.
The Bee64. We revealed to you the Scripture only to clarify for them what they differ about, and guidance and mercy for people who believe.
The Cave1. Praise be to God, who revealed the Book to His servant, and allowed in it no distortion.
The Cave2. Valuable—to warn of severe punishment from Himself; and to deliver good news to the believers who do righteous deeds, that they will have an excellent reward.
The Cave3. In which they will abide forever.
The Cave4. And to warn those who say, “God has begotten a son.”
The Cave5. They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths. They say nothing but a lie.
The Cave6. Perhaps you may destroy yourself with grief, chasing after them, if they do not believe in this information.
The Cave7. We made what is upon the earth an ornament for it, to test them as to which of them is best in conduct.
The Cave8. And We will turn what is on it into barren waste.
Mary1. Kaf, Ha, Ya, Ayn, Saad.
Mary2. A mention of the mercy of your Lord towards His servant Zechariah.
Mary3. When he called on his Lord, a call in seclusion.
Mary4. He said, “My Lord, my bones have become feeble, and my hair is aflame with gray, and never, Lord, have I been disappointed in my prayer to you.
Mary5. “And I fear for my dependents after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me, from Yourself, an heir.
Mary6. To inherit me, and inherit from the House of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, pleasing.”
Mary7. “O Zechariah, We give you good news of a son, whose name is John, a name We have never given before.”
Mary8. He said, “My Lord, how can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have become decrepit with old age?”
Mary9. He said, “It will be so, your Lord says, ‘it is easy for me, and I created you before, when you were nothing.’”
Mary10. He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights straight.”
Mary11. And he came out to his people, from the sanctuary, and signaled to them to praise morning and evening.
Mary12. “O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth.
Mary13. And tenderness from Us, and innocence. He was devout.
Mary14. And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
Mary15. And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive.
Mary16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
Mary17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
Mary18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
Mary19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
Mary20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
Mary21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
Mary22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
Mary23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
Mary24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
Mary25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
Mary26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
Mary27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
Mary28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
Mary29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
Mary30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
Mary31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
Mary32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
Mary33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
Mary34. That is Jesus son of Mary—the Word of truth about which they doubt.
Mary35. It is not for God to have a child—glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
Mary36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
Mary37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
Mary38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
Mary39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
Mary40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
Mary41. And mention in the Scripture Abraham. He was a man of truth, a prophet.
Mary42. He said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship what can neither hear, nor see, nor benefit you in any way?
Mary43. O my father, there has come to me knowledge that never came to you. So follow me, and I will guide you along a straight way.
Mary44. O my father, do not worship the devil. The devil is disobedient to the Most Gracious.
Mary45. O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious will afflict you, and you become an ally of the devil.”
Mary46. He said, “Are you renouncing my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will stone you. So leave me alone for a while.”
Mary47. He said, “Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you; He has been Kind to me.
Mary48. And I will withdraw from you, and from what you pray to instead of God. And I will pray to my Lord, and I hope I will not be disappointed in my prayer to my Lord.”
Mary49. When he withdrew from them, and from what they worship besides God, We granted him Isaac and Jacob. And each We made a prophet.
Mary50. And We gave them freely of Our mercy, and gave them a noble reputation of truth.
Mary51. And mention in the Scripture Moses. He was dedicated. He was a messenger and a prophet.
Mary52. And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and brought him near in communion.
Mary53. And We granted him, out of Our mercy, his brother Aaron, a prophet.
Mary54. And mention in the Scripture Ishmael. He was true to his promise, and was a messenger, a prophet.
Mary55. And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and charity, and he was pleasing to his Lord.
Mary56. And mention in the Scripture Enoch. He was a man of truth, a prophet.
Mary57. And We raised him to a high position.
Mary58. These are some of the prophets God has blessed, from the descendants of Adam, and from those We carried with Noah, and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from those We guided and selected. Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they would fall down, prostrating and weeping.
Mary59. But they were succeeded by generations who lost the prayers and followed their appetites. They will meet perdition.
Mary60. Except for those who repent, and believe, and act righteously. These will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged in the least.
Mary61. The Gardens of Eden, promised by the Most Merciful to His servants in the Unseen. His promise will certainly come true.
Mary62. They will hear no nonsense therein, but only peace. And they will have their provision therein, morning and evening.
Mary63. Such is Paradise which We will give as inheritance to those of Our servants who are devout.
Mary64. “We do not descend except by the command of your Lord. His is what is before us, and what is behind us, and what is between them. Your Lord is never forgetful.”
Mary65. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. So worship Him, and persevere in His service. Do you know of anyone equal to Him?
Mary66. And the human being says, “When I am dead, will I be brought back alive?”
Mary67. Does the human being not remember that We created him before, when he was nothing?
Mary68. By your Lord, We will round them up, and the devils, then We will bring them around Hell, on their knees.
Mary69. Then, out of every sect, We will snatch those most defiant to the Most Merciful.
Mary70. We are fully aware of those most deserving to scorch in it.
Mary71. There is not one of you but will go down to it. This has been an unavoidable decree of your Lord.
Mary72. Then We will rescue those who were devout, and leave the wrongdoers in it, on their knees.
Mary73. When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Which of the two parties is better in position, and superior in influence?”
Mary74. How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who surpassed them in riches and splendor?
Mary75. Say, “Whoever is in error, the Most Merciful will lead him on.” Until, when they see what they were promised—either the punishment, or the Hour. Then they will know who was in worse position and weaker in forces.
Mary76. God increases in guidance those who accept guidance. And the things that endure—the righteous deeds—have the best reward with your Lord, and the best outcome.
Mary77. Have you seen him who denied Our revelations, and said, “I will be given wealth and children”?
Mary78. Did he look into the future, or did he receive a promise from the Most Merciful?
Mary79. No indeed! We will write what he says, and will keep extending the agony for him.
Mary80. Then We will inherit from him what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone.
Mary81. And they took, besides God, other gods, to be for them a source of strength.
Mary82. By no means! They will reject their worship of them, and become opponents to them.
Mary83. Have you not considered how We dispatch the devils against the disbelievers, exciting them with incitement?
Mary84. So do not hurry against them. We are counting for them a countdown.
Mary85. On the Day when We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful, as guests.
Mary86. And herd the sinners into hell, like animals to water.
Mary87. They will have no power of intercession, except for someone who has an agreement with the Most Merciful.
Mary88. And they say, “The Most Merciful has begotten a son.”
Mary89. You have come up with something monstrous.
Mary90. At which the heavens almost rupture, and the earth splits, and the mountains fall and crumble.
Mary91. Because they attribute a son to the Most Merciful.
Mary92. It is not fitting for the Most Merciful to have a son.
Mary93. There is none in the heavens and the earth but will come to the Most Merciful as a servant.
Mary94. He has enumerated them, and counted them one by one.
Mary95. And each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.
Mary96. Those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Most Merciful will give them love.
Mary97. We made it easy in your tongue, in order to deliver good news to the righteous, and to warn with it a hostile people.
Mary98. How many a generation have We destroyed before them? Can you feel a single one of them, or hear from them the slightest whisper?
The Spider46. And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in the best manner possible, except those who do wrong among them. And say, “We believe in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to you; and our God and your God is One; and to Him we are submissive.”
The Spider47. Likewise, We revealed to you the Scripture. Those to whom We gave the Scripture believe in it, and some of these believe in it. None renounce Our communications except the disbelievers.
The Allies26. And He brought down from their strongholds those of the People of the Book who backed them, and He threw terror into their hearts. Some of them you killed, and others you took captive.
The Allies27. And He made you inherit their land, and their homes, and their possessions, and a region you have never stepped on. God has power over all things.
The Saba'6. Those who received knowledge know that what is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth; and it guides to the path of the Majestic, the Praiseworthy.
The Originator31. What We inspired in you, of the Book, is the truth, confirming what preceded it. God is Well-Informed of His servants, All-Seeing.
The Originator32. Then We passed the Book to those of Our servants whom We chose. Some of them wrong their souls, and some follow a middle course, and some are in the foremost in good deeds by God’s leave; that is the greatest blessing.
Counsel13. He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents.
Counsel14. They became divided only after knowledge came to them, out of resentment among themselves. Were it not for a predetermined decision from your Lord, judgment would have been pronounced between them. Indeed, those who were made to inherit the Book after them are in grave doubt about it.
Counsel15. To this go on inviting, and be upright as you were commanded, and do not follow their inclinations, and say, “I believe in whatever Book God has sent down, and I was commanded to judge between you equitably. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds, and you have your deeds. Let there be no quarrel between us and you. God will bring us together, and to Him is the ultimate return.”
Victory28. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions. God suffices as Witness.
Victory29. Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from God and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward.
Iron25. We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in which is violent force, and benefits for humanity. That God may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. God is Strong and Powerful.
Iron26. We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and the Scripture. Some of them are guided, but many of them are sinners.
Iron27. Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented—We did not ordain it for them—only to seek God’s approval. But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.
Iron28. O you who believe! Fear God, and believe in His Messenger: He will give you a double portion of His mercy, and will give you a light by which you walk, and will forgive you. God is Forgiving and Merciful.
Iron29. That the People of the Book may know that they have no power whatsoever over God’s grace, and that all grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Great Grace.
The Banishment1. Glorifying God is all that exists in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise.
The Banishment2. It is He who evicted those who disbelieved among the People of the Book from their homes at the first mobilization. You did not think they would leave, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from God. But God came at them from where they never expected, and threw terror into their hearts. They wrecked their homes with their own hands, and by the hands of the believers. Therefore, take a lesson, O you who have insight.
The Banishment3. Had God not decreed exile for them, He would have punished them in this life. But in the Hereafter they will have the punishment of the Fire.
The Banishment4. That is because they opposed God and His Messenger. Whoever opposes God—God is stern in retribution.
The Banishment
The Banishment9. And those who, before them, had settled in the homeland, and had accepted faith. They love those who emigrated to them, and find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them. They give them priority over themselves, even if they themselves are needy. Whoever is protected from his natural greed—it is they who are the successful.
The Banishment10. And those who came after them, saying, “Our Lord, forgive us, and our brethren who preceded us in faith, and leave no malice in our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord, You are Clement and Merciful.”
The Ranks5. When Moses said to his people, “O my people, why do you hurt me, although you know that I am God’s Messenger to you?” And when they swerved, God swerved their hearts. God does not guide the sinful people.
The Ranks6. And when Jesus son of Mary said, “O Children of Israel, I am God’s Messenger to you, confirming what preceded me of the Torah, and announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he showed them the miracles, they said, “This is obvious sorcery.”
The Ranks7. And who is a greater wrongdoer than he who attributes falsehoods to God, when he is being invited to Islam? God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
The Ranks8. They want to extinguish God’s Light with their mouths; but God will complete His Light, even though the disbelievers dislike it.
The Ranks9. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, to make it prevail over all religions, even though the idolaters dislike it.
The Ranks
The Ranks14. O you who believe! Be supporters of God, as Jesus son of Mary said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God's supporters.” So a group of the Children of Israel believed, while another group disbelieved. We supported those who believed against their foe, so they became dominant.
The Prohibition10. God illustrates an example of those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them. They availed them nothing against God, and it was said, “Enter the Fire with those who are entering.”
The Prohibition11. And God illustrates an example of those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, “My Lord, build for me, with you, a house in Paradise, and save me from Pharaoh and his works, and save me from the wrongdoing people.”
The Prohibition12. And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her womb, and so We breathed into her of Our Spirit; and she believed in the truth of her Lord’s Words and His Books, and was one of the devout.
The Enrobed27. But what will explain to you what Saqar is?
The Enrobed28. It neither leaves, nor spares.
The Enrobed29. It scorches the flesh.
The Enrobed30. Over it are Nineteen.
The Enrobed31. We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and caused their number to be a stumbling block for those who disbelieve; so that those given the Scripture may attain certainty; and those who believe may increase in faith; and those given the Scripture and the believers may not doubt; and those in whose hearts is sickness and the unbelievers may say, “What did God intend by this parable?” Thus God leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is nothing but a reminder for the mortals.
The Clear Evidence1. Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, were not apart, until the Clear Evidence came to them.
The Clear Evidence2. A messenger from God reciting purified scripts.
The Clear Evidence3. In them are valuable writings.
The Clear Evidence4. Those who were given the Scripture did not splinter, except after the Clear Evidence came to them.
The Clear Evidence5. They were commanded only to worship God, devoting their faith to Him alone, and to practice regular prayer, and to give alms. That is the upright religion.
The Clear Evidence6. Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, will be in the Fire of Hell, where they will abide forever. These are the worst of creatures.
The Clear Evidence7. As for those who believe and lead a righteous life—these are the best of creatures.
The Clear Evidence8. Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eternity beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is for whoever fears His Lord.
