2- Al-Baqara
253  Those  messengers  We  endowed  with  gifts, some above others: To one of them
Allah  spoke;  others  He  raised  to  degrees  (of  honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We
gave  clear  (Signs),  and  strengthened  him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed,
succeeding  generations  would  not  have  fought among each other, after clear (Signs)
had  come  to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If
Allah  had  so  willed,  they  would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His
plan.
254  O  ye who believe! Spend out of (the bounties) We have provided for you, before
the  Day  comes  when  no  bargaining  (Will  avail),  nor  friendship  nor  intercession.
Those who reject Faith they are the wrong-doers.
255  Allah!  There  is  no  god  but  He,-the  Living,  the  Self-subsisting,  Eternal.  No
slumber  can  seize  Him  nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who
is  there  can  intercede  in  His  presence  except  as  He  permitteth?  He knoweth what
(appeareth  to  His  creatures  as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass
aught  of  His  knowledge  except  as  He  willeth.  His  Throne  doth  extend  over  the
heavens  and  the  earth,  and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for
He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
256   Let  there  be  no  compulsion  in  religion:  Truth  stands  out  clear  from  Error:
whoever    rejects    evil    and  believes  in  Allah  hath  grasped  the  most  trustworthy
hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
257  Allah  is  the  Protector  of  those  who  have faith: from the depths of darkness He
will  lead  them  forth  into  light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones:
from    light  they  will  lead  them  forth  into  the  depths  of  darkness.  They  will  be
companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).
258  Hast  thou  not  Turned  thy  vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his
Lord,  because  Allah  had  granted  him  power?  Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who
Giveth  life  and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah
that  causeth  the  sun  to  rise  from  the  east:  Do  thou then cause him to rise from the
West."  Thus  was  he  confounded  who  (in  arrogance)  rejected faith. Nor doth Allah
Give guidance to a people unjust.
259  Or  (take)  the  similitude  of  one  who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs.
He  said:  "Oh!  how  shall  Allah  bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah
caused  him  to  die  for  a  hundred  years,  then  raised  him up (again). He said: "How
long  didst  thou  tarry  (thus)?"  He  said:  (Perhaps)  a  day  or  part of a day." He said:
"Nay,  thou  hast  tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they
show  no  signs  of  age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign
unto  the  people,  Look  further  at  the bones, how We bring them together and clothe
them  with  flesh."  When  this  was  shown  clearly  to him, he said: "I know that Allah
hath power over all things."
260  When  Abraham  said:  "Show  me,  Lord,  how  You  will  raise  the  dead,  " He
replied:  "Have  you  no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart." Allah said,
"Take  four  birds,  draw  them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over
the  mountain-tops,  then  call  them  back.  They  will  come swiftly to you. Know that
Allah is Mighty, Wise."
261  The  parable  of  those  who  spend  their substance in the way of Allah is that of a
grain  of  corn:  it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth
manifold  increase  to  whom  He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all
things.
262  Those  who  spend  their  substance  in the cause of Allah, and follow not up their
gifts  with  reminders  of  their  generosity  or  with injury,-for them their reward is with
their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
263  Kind  words  and  the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury.
Allah is free of all wants, and He is Most-Forbearing.
264  O  ye  who believe! cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by
injury,-  like  those  who spend their substance to be seen of men, but believe neither in
Allah  nor  in  the  Last Day. They are in parable like a hard, barren rock, on which is a
little  soil:  on it falls heavy rain, which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to
do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject faith.
265  And  the  likeness of those who spend their substance, seeking to please Allah and
to  strengthen  their  souls,  is  as  a  garden,  high  and  fertile: heavy rain falls on it but
makes  it  yield  a  double  increase  of  harvest,  and  if  it receives not Heavy rain, light
moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.
266  Does  any  of  you  wish  that  he should have a garden with date-palms and vines
and  streams  flowing  underneath,  and  all  kinds  of fruit, while he is stricken with old
age,  and  his  children  are  not  strong (enough to look after themselves)- that it should
be  caught  in  a  whirlwind,  with  fire therein, and be burnt up? Thus doth Allah make
clear to you (His) Signs; that ye may consider.
267  O  ye  who  believe! Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned,
and  of  the  fruits  of  the earth which We have produced for you, and do not even aim
at  getting  anything  which  is bad, in order that out of it ye may give away something,
when  ye  yourselves  would  not  receive  it  except  with  closed  eyes. And know that
Allah is Free of all wants, and worthy of all praise.
268  The  Evil  one  threatens  you  with  poverty  and  bids  you to conduct unseemly.
Allah  promiseth  you  His  forgiveness  and  bounties.  And Allah careth for all and He
knoweth all things.
269  He  granteth  wisdom  to  whom  He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted
receiveth  indeed  a  benefit  overflowing;  but  none will grasp the Message but men of
understanding.
270  And  whatever ye spend in charity or devotion, be sure Allah knows it all. But the
wrong-doers have no helpers.
271  If  ye disclose (acts of) charity, even so it is well, but if ye conceal them, and make
them  reach  those  (really)  in  need,  that is best for you: It will remove from you some
of your (stains of) evil. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do.
272  It  is  not  required  of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right path, but Allah
sets  on  the  right  path  whom  He  pleaseth.  Whatever  of good ye give benefits your
own  souls,  and  ye  shall  only  do  so seeking the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye
give, shall be rendered back to you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.
273  (Charity  is)  for  those  in  need,  who, in Allah's cause are restricted (from travel),
and  cannot  move  about  in  the  land,  seeking  (For trade or work): the ignorant man
thinks,  because  of  their  modesty, that they are free from want. Thou shalt know them
by  their  (Unfailing)  mark:  They  beg  not  importunately  from  all  the  sundry. And
whatever of good ye give, be assured Allah knoweth it well.
274  Those  who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in
public,  have  their  reward  with  their  Lord:  on  them  shall  be no fear, nor shall they
grieve.
275  Those  who  devour  usury  will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one
by  his  touch  Hath  driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury,"
but    Allah   hath  permitted  trade  and  forbidden  usury.  Those  who  after  receiving
direction  from  their  Lord,  desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah
(to  judge);  but  those  who  repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will
abide therein (for ever).
276  Allah  will  deprive  usury  of  all  blessing,  but  will  give  increase  for  deeds  of
charity: For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked.
277  Those  who  believe,  and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers
and  regular  charity,  will  have  their  reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear,
nor shall they grieve.
278  O  ye  who  believe!  Fear  Allah,  and  give  up what remains of your demand for
usury, if ye are indeed believers.
279  If  ye  do  it  not, Take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger: But if ye turn
back,  ye  shall  have  your  capital  sums:  Deal  not  unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt
with unjustly.
280  If  the  debtor  is  in a difficulty, grant him time Till it is easy for him to repay. But
if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew.
281  And  fear  the  Day when ye shall be brought back to Allah. Then shall every soul
be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly.
282  O  ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future
obligations  in  a  fixed  period  of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down
faithfully  as  between  the  parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught
him,  so  let  him  write.  Let  him  who  incurs  the  liability dictate, but let him fear His
Lord  Allah,  and  not  diminish  aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally
deficient,  or  weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and
get  two  witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and
two  women,  such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can
remind  her.  The  witnesses  should  not refuse when they are called on (For evidence).
Disdain  not  to  reduce  to  writing  (your  contract)  for  a  future  period, whether it be
small  or  big:  it  is  juster  in  the  sight  of  Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more
convenient  to  prevent  doubts  among  yourselves  but  if  it be a transaction which ye
carry  out  on  the  spot  among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not
to  writing.  But  take  witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither
scribe  nor  witness  suffer  harm.  If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you.
So  fear  Allah;  For  it  is  Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all
things.  If  ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may
serve  the  purpose).  And  if  one  of  you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the
trustee  (faithfully)  discharge  his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence;
for  whoever  conceals  it,  -  his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye
do.
283  If  ye  are  on  a  journey,  and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may
serve  the  purpose).  And  if  one  of you deposits a thing on trust with another, Let the
trustee    (Faithfully)    discharge  His  trust,  and  let  him  fear  his  Lord.  Conceal  not
evidence;  for  whoever  conceals  it,-  His heart is tainted with sin. And Allah Knoweth
all that ye do.
284  To  Allah belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth. Whether ye show what
is  in  your minds or conceal it, Allah Calleth you to account for it. He forgiveth whom
He pleaseth, and punisheth whom He pleaseth, for Allah hath power over all things.
285  The  Messenger  believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do
the  men  of  faith.  Each  one  (of  them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and
His  messengers.  "We  make  no  distinction (they say) between one and another of His
messengers."  And  they  say:  "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our
Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys."
286  On  no  soul  doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good
that  it  earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if
we  forget  or  fall  into  error;  our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou
didst  lay  on  those  before  us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have
strength  to  bear.  Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou
art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."

3- Aal-E-Imran
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 A. L. M.
2 Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal.
3  It  is  He  Who  sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what
went  before  it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before
this,  as  a  guide  to  mankind,  and  He  sent  down the criterion (of judgment between
right and wrong).
4  Then  those  who  reject  Faith  in  the Signs of Allah will suffer the severest penalty,
and Allah is Exalted in Might, Lord of Retribution.
5 From Allah, verily nothing is hidden on earth or in the heavens.
6  He  it  is  Who  shapes  you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god but He, the
Exalted in Might, the Wise.
7  He  it  is  Who  has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental
(of  established  meaning);  they  are  the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical.
But  those  in  whose  hearts  is  perversity  follow  the  part  thereof  that  is allegorical,
seeking  discord,  and  searching  for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden
meanings  except  Allah.  And  those  who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We
believe  in  the  Book;  the  whole  of  it  is  from  our  Lord:"  and  none will grasp the
Message except men of understanding.
8  "Our  Lord!"  (they  say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us,
but  grant  us  mercy  from  Thine  own  Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties
without measure.
9  "Our  Lord!  Thou  art  He  that  will  gather  mankind  Together against a day about
which there is no doubt; for Allah never fails in His promise."
10  Those  who  reject  Faith,-  neither  their  possessions nor their (numerous) progeny
will avail them aught against Allah: They are themselves but fuel for the Fire.
11  (Their  plight  will  be)  no  better  than  that  of  the  people  of  Pharaoh,  and their
predecessors:  They  denied  our  Signs, and Allah called them to account for their sins.
For Allah is strict in punishment.
12  Say  to  those  who reject Faith: "Soon will ye be vanquished and gathered together
to Hell,-an evil bed indeed (to lie on)!
13  "There  has  already  been  for  you  a  Sign  in the two armies that met (in combat):
One  was  fighting  in  the cause of Allah, the other resisting Allah; these saw with their
own    eyes  Twice  their  number.  But  Allah  doth  support  with  His  aid  whom  He
pleaseth. In this is a warning for such as have eyes to see."
14  Fair  in  the  eyes  of  men  is  the  love  of  things  they  covet:  Women  and  sons;
Heaped-up  hoards  of  gold  and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and
(wealth  of)  cattle  and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but
in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).
15  Say:  Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better than those? For the righteous
are  Gardens  in  nearness  to  their  Lord,  with  rivers  flowing  beneath; therein is their
eternal  home;  with  companions  pure (and holy); and the good pleasure of Allah. For
in Allah's sight are (all) His servants,-
16  (Namely),  those  who  say:  "Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us, then,
our sins, and save us from the agony of the Fire;"-
17  Those  who  show  patience,  Firmness  and self-control; who are true (in word and
deed);  who  worship  devoutly;  who  spend  (in  the  way of Allah); and who pray for
forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.
18  There  is  no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued
with  knowledge,  standing  firm  on  justice.  There  is  no  god  but He, the Exalted in
Power, the Wise.
19  The  Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of
the  Book  dissent  therefrom  except  through  envy of each other, after knowledge had
come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.
20  So  if  they dispute with thee, say: "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so
have  those  who  follow me." And say to the People of the Book and to those who are
unlearned:  "Do  ye  (also)  submit  yourselves?"  If they do, they are in right guidance,
but  if  they  turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all)
His servants.
21  As  to  those  who  deny  the  Signs  of  Allah  and  in  defiance  of  right,  slay  the
prophets,  and  slay  those  who  teach  just  dealing with mankind, announce to them a
grievous penalty.
22  They  are  those  whose  works  will  bear no fruit in this world and in the Hereafter
nor will they have anyone to help.
23  Hast  thou  not  turned  Thy  vision  to  those who have been given a portion of the
Book?  They  are  invited  to  the  Book  of  Allah,  to settle their dispute, but a party of
them Turn back and decline (The arbitration).
24  This  because  they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days":
For their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.
25  But  how  (will  they fare) when we gather them together against a day about which
there  is  no  doubt,  and  each  soul  will  be  paid  out  just what it has earned, without
(favour or) injustice?
26  Say:  "O  Allah!  Lord  of  Power  (And  Rule),  Thou givest power to whom Thou
pleasest,  and  Thou  strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with
honour  whom  Thou  pleasest,  and  Thou  bringest  low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy
hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power.
27  "Thou  causest the night to gain on the day, and thou causest the day to gain on the
night;  Thou  bringest  the  Living  out  of  the dead, and Thou bringest the dead out of
the Living; and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest, without measure."
28  Let  not  the  believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers:
if  any  do  that,  in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution,
that  ye  may  Guard  yourselves  from  them.  But  Allah  cautions you (To remember)
Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.
29  Say:  "Whether  ye  hide  what  is  in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He
knows  what  is  in  the  heavens,  and  what  is  on earth. And Allah has power over all
things.
30  "On  the Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and
all  the  evil  it  has  done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil.
But  Allah  cautions  you  (To  remember)  Himself.  And  Allah  is  full  of kindness to
those that serve Him."
31  Say:  "If  ye  do  love  Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your
sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
32  Say:  "Obey  Allah  and  His  Messenger":  But  if  they turn back, Allah loveth not
those who reject Faith.
33  Allah  did  choose  Adam  and  Noah,  the  family  of  Abraham,  and the family of
'Imran above all people,-
34 Offspring, one of the other: And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
35  Behold!  a  woman  of 'Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in
my   womb  for  Thy  special  service:  So  accept  this  of  me:  For  Thou  hearest  and
knowest all things."
36  When  she  was  delivered,  she  said:  "O  my  Lord!  Behold!  I  am delivered of a
female  child!"-  and Allah knew best what she brought forth- "And no wise is the male
Like  the  female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy
protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."
37  Right  graciously  did her Lord accept her: He made her grow in purity and beauty:
To  the  care of Zakariya was she assigned. Every time that he entered (Her) chamber to
see  her,  He  found  her  supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Mary! Whence (comes)
this  to  you?"  She  said:  "From  Allah:  for  Allah  Provides  sustenance  to whom He
pleases without measure."
38  There  did  Zakariya  pray  to  his  Lord,  saying: "O my Lord! Grant unto me from
Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!
39  While  he was standing in prayer in the chamber, the angels called unto him: "Allah
doth  give  thee  glad  tidings of Yahya, witnessing the truth of a Word from Allah, and
(be besides) noble, chaste, and a prophet,- of the (goodly) company of the righteous."
40  He  said:  "O  my Lord! How shall I have son, seeing I am very old, and my wife is
barren?" "Thus," was the answer, "Doth Allah accomplish what He willeth."
41  He  said:  "O  my  Lord!  Give  me  a Sign!" "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be
that  thou  shalt  speak  to  no  man  for  three  days but with signals. Then celebrate the
praises  of  thy  Lord  again  and  again,  and  glorify  Him  in  the  evening  and  in the
morning."
42  Behold!  the  angels  said:  "O  Mary!  Allah  hath  chosen  thee  and  purified thee-
chosen thee above the women of all nations.
43   "O  Mary!  worship  Thy  Lord  devoutly:  Prostrate  thyself,  and  bow  down  (in
prayer) with those who bow down."
44  This  is  part  of  the  tidings  of  the  things  unseen,  which We reveal unto thee (O
Messenger!)  by  inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows,
as  to  which  of  them  should  be  charged  with  the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with
them when they disputed (the point).
45  Behold!  the  angels  said:  "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from
Him:  his  name  will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and
the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;
46  "He  shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the
company) of the righteous."
47  She  said:  "O  my  Lord!  How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?"
He  said:  "Even  so:  Allah  createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He
but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!
48 "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,
49  "And  (appoint  him)  a  messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I
have  come  to  you,  with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as
it  were,  the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave:
And  I  heal  those  born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave;
and  I  declare  to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a
Sign for you if ye did believe;
50  "'(I  have  come  to  you),  to  attest  the  Law  which  was  before me. And to make
lawful  to  you  part  of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a
Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.
51  "'It  is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that
is straight.'"
52  When  Jesus  found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the
work  of)  Allah?"  Said the disciples: "We are Allah's helpers: We believe in Allah, and
do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.
53  "Our  Lord!  we  believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger;
then write us down among those who bear witness."
54  And  (the  unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of
planners is Allah.
55  Behold!  Allah  said:  "O  Jesus!  I  will  take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear
thee  (of  the  falsehoods)  of  those  who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee
superior  to  those  who  reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return
unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
56  "As  to  those  who  reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world
and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
57  "As  to  those  who  believe  and  work  righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full)
their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong."
58 "This is what we rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."
59  The  similitude  of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust,
then said to him: "Be". And he was.
60 The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.
61  If  any  one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come
to  thee,  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 hath 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 ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).
65  Ye  People  of  the  Book!  Why dispute ye about Abraham, when the Law and the
Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding?
66  Ah!  Ye  are  those  who  fell  to  disputing (Even) in matters of which ye had some
knowledge!  but  why  dispute  ye  in  matters  of  which  ye  have  no knowledge? It is
Allah Who knows, and ye 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  doubt,  among  men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow
him,  as  are  also  this  Prophet  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  Ye  People  of  the  Book!  Why  reject  ye  the  Signs  of  Allah,  of  which  ye  are
(Yourselves) witnesses?
71  Ye  People  of  the  Book! Why do ye clothe Truth with falsehood, and conceal the
Truth, while ye 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 ye) 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
granteth  them  to  whom  He  pleaseth:  And  Allah  careth  for all, and He knoweth all
things."
74  For  His  Mercy  He  specially chooseth whom He pleaseth; 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  thou  constantly  stoodest  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 cleans 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 ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on
the  contrary  (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of
all: For ye have taught the Book and ye 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  ye  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 ye believe
in  him  and  render  him help." Allah said: "Do ye 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 (the 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.
91  As  to  those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- never would be accepted from any
such  as  much  gold  as  the earth contains, though they should offer it for ransom. For
such is (in store) a penalty grievous, and they will find no helpers.
