يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اذكُروا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم إِذ هَمَّ قَومٌ أَن يَبسُطوا إِلَيكُم أَيدِيَهُم فَكَفَّ أَيدِيَهُم عَنكُم ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَليَتَوَكَّلِ المُؤمِنونَ

O you who believe, remember God’s favor upon you, when some people intended to harm you, but He restrained their hands from you. Be mindful of God, and let the faithful trust in God.

وَلَقَد أَخَذَ اللَّهُ ميثاقَ بَني إِسرائيلَ وَبَعَثنا مِنهُمُ اثنَي عَشَرَ نَقيبًا ۖ وَقالَ اللَّهُ إِنّي مَعَكُم ۖ لَئِن أَقَمتُمُ الصَّلاةَ وَآتَيتُمُ الزَّكاةَ وَآمَنتُم بِرُسُلي وَعَزَّرتُموهُم وَأَقرَضتُمُ اللَّهَ قَرضًا حَسَنًا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنكُم سَيِّئَاتِكُم وَلَأُدخِلَنَّكُم جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ ۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنكُم فَقَد ضَلَّ سَواءَ السَّبيلِ

In the past, God made a covenant with the Children of Israel, and We sent from among them twelve leaders. God said, “I am with you. If you establish prayer, give charity, believe in My messengers, assist them, and lend God a good loan, I will absolve you of your sins and admit you into Gardens through which rivers flow. However, anyone among you who disbelieves after this has deviated from the right path.”

فَبِما نَقضِهِم ميثاقَهُم لَعَنّاهُم وَجَعَلنا قُلوبَهُم قاسِيَةً ۖ يُحَرِّفونَ الكَلِمَ عَن مَواضِعِهِ ۙ وَنَسوا حَظًّا مِمّا ذُكِّروا بِهِ ۚ وَلا تَزالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلىٰ خائِنَةٍ مِنهُم إِلّا قَليلًا مِنهُم ۖ فَاعفُ عَنهُم وَاصفَح ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُحسِنينَ

However, We cursed them and hardened their hearts because they violated their covenant. They altered the meanings of words and neglected a portion of what they were reminded of. You will consistently witness deceit from them, except for a few of them. Yet pardon them and overlook their misdeeds. God loves those who do good.

وَمِنَ الَّذينَ قالوا إِنّا نَصارىٰ أَخَذنا ميثاقَهُم فَنَسوا حَظًّا مِمّا ذُكِّروا بِهِ فَأَغرَينا بَينَهُمُ العَداوَةَ وَالبَغضاءَ إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ ۚ وَسَوفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِما كانوا يَصنَعونَ

From those who say, “We are Christians,” We received their covenant, but they forgot a portion of what they were reminded of. So We sowed dissension and enmity among them until Resurrection Day. Then, God will inform them of everything they did.

يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ قَد جاءَكُم رَسولُنا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُم كَثيرًا مِمّا كُنتُم تُخفونَ مِنَ الكِتابِ وَيَعفو عَن كَثيرٍ ۚ قَد جاءَكُم مِنَ اللَّهِ نورٌ وَكِتابٌ مُبينٌ

O People of the Scripture, our Messenger has come to you, revealing to you much of what you concealed from the Scripture; and overlooking much. A light and a clear book have come to you from God.

لَقَد كَفَرَ الَّذينَ قالوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ المَسيحُ ابنُ مَريَمَ ۚ قُل فَمَن يَملِكُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيئًا إِن أَرادَ أَن يُهلِكَ المَسيحَ ابنَ مَريَمَ وَأُمَّهُ وَمَن فِي الأَرضِ جَميعًا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۚ يَخلُقُ ما يَشاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

Those who say, “God is Christ, the Son of Mary,” have disbelieved. Say, “Who could prevent God, if He intended to destroy Christ, son of Mary, his mother, and everyone on earth?” To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens, the earth, and everything in between. He creates whatever He wills. God is capable of everything.

وَقالَتِ اليَهودُ وَالنَّصارىٰ نَحنُ أَبناءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبّاؤُهُ ۚ قُل فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنوبِكُم ۖ بَل أَنتُم بَشَرٌ مِمَّن خَلَقَ ۚ يَغفِرُ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ وَإِلَيهِ المَصيرُ

The Jews and the Christians say, “We are the children of God and His beloved.” Say, “Then why does He punish you for your sins?” In reality, you are but humans 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 everything between them, and to Him is the final return.

يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ قَد جاءَكُم رَسولُنا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُم عَلىٰ فَترَةٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ أَن تَقولوا ما جاءَنا مِن بَشيرٍ وَلا نَذيرٍ ۖ فَقَد جاءَكُم بَشيرٌ وَنَذيرٌ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

O People of the Scripture, Our Messenger has come to you, making things clear to you after a period of no messengers, so you wouldn’t say, “No bearer of good news or warner has come to us.” Surely, a bearer of good news and a warner did come to you, and God has power over all things.

وَإِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ يا قَومِ اذكُروا نِعمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم إِذ جَعَلَ فيكُم أَنبِياءَ وَجَعَلَكُم مُلوكًا وَآتاكُم ما لَم يُؤتِ أَحَدًا مِنَ العالَمينَ

And when Moses said to his people, “O my people, remember God’s blessings upon you, when He appointed prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He never gave any other people.”

يا قَومِ ادخُلُوا الأَرضَ المُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتي كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُم وَلا تَرتَدّوا عَلىٰ أَدبارِكُم فَتَنقَلِبوا خاسِرينَ

“O my people, enter the Holy Land that God assigned to you, and don’t retreat, lest you become losers.”
