وَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ ۚ وَما تُقَدِّموا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِن خَيرٍ تَجِدوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ

Establish prayer and give the purifying charity. Whatever good you put forward for yourselves, you’ll find it with God. God sees what you do.

وَقالوا لَن يَدخُلَ الجَنَّةَ إِلّا مَن كانَ هودًا أَو نَصارىٰ ۗ تِلكَ أَمانِيُّهُم ۗ قُل هاتوا بُرهانَكُم إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

They say, “Only Jews and Christians will enter Paradise.” These are their wishes. Say, “Present your proof, if you are truthful.”

بَلىٰ مَن أَسلَمَ وَجهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ

In fact, whoever submits himself to God and is a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. They will neither fear nor grieve.

وَقالَتِ اليَهودُ لَيسَتِ النَّصارىٰ عَلىٰ شَيءٍ وَقالَتِ النَّصارىٰ لَيسَتِ اليَهودُ عَلىٰ شَيءٍ وَهُم يَتلونَ الكِتابَ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ قالَ الَّذينَ لا يَعلَمونَ مِثلَ قَولِهِم ۚ فَاللَّهُ يَحكُمُ بَينَهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ فيما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

The Jews say, “The Christians have no basis,” and the Christians say, “The Jews have no basis,” although they read the Scripture. Similarly, those who lack knowledge say the same. God will arbitrate between them on Resurrection Day concerning their disputes.

وَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّن مَنَعَ مَساجِدَ اللَّهِ أَن يُذكَرَ فيهَا اسمُهُ وَسَعىٰ في خَرابِها ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ ما كانَ لَهُم أَن يَدخُلوها إِلّا خائِفينَ ۚ لَهُم فِي الدُّنيا خِزيٌ وَلَهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ عَذابٌ عَظيمٌ

And who are more unjust than those who prevent God’s name from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their ruin? Such individuals should enter them only in fear. For them, there is disgrace in this life, and they will have a severe punishment in the Hereafter.

وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبحانَهُ ۖ بَل لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ كُلٌّ لَهُ قانِتونَ

They say, “God has begotten a son.” Glorified is He! Rather, everything in the heavens and the earth is His; all are obedient to Him.

بَديعُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ وَإِذا قَضىٰ أَمرًا فَإِنَّما يَقولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكونُ

The Originator of the heavens and the earth; when He decrees a matter, He only says to it: ‘Be,’ and it is.

وَقالَ الَّذينَ لا يَعلَمونَ لَولا يُكَلِّمُنَا اللَّهُ أَو تَأتينا آيَةٌ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ قالَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم مِثلَ قَولِهِم ۘ تَشابَهَت قُلوبُهُم ۗ قَد بَيَّنَّا الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يوقِنونَ

Those who don’t know ask, “Why doesn’t God speak to us, or give us a sign?” Those before them made the same demands. Their hearts are similar. We made the signs clear for people who have certainty.

إِنّا أَرسَلناكَ بِالحَقِّ بَشيرًا وَنَذيرًا ۖ وَلا تُسأَلُ عَن أَصحابِ الجَحيمِ

We sent you with the truth—as a bearer of good news and a warner. You won’t be asked about the inhabitants of Hellfire.

وَلَن تَرضىٰ عَنكَ اليَهودُ وَلَا النَّصارىٰ حَتّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُم ۗ قُل إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الهُدىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعتَ أَهواءَهُم بَعدَ الَّذي جاءَكَ مِنَ العِلمِ ۙ ما لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

Neither the Jews nor the Christians will approve of you until you follow their way. Say, “God’s guidance is the guidance.” If you were to follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you will have from God neither a protector nor a helper.
