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.
يَهدي بِهِ اللَّهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضوانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلامِ وَيُخرِجُهُم مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النّورِ بِإِذنِهِ وَيَهديهِم إِلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ
God guides with it whoever follows His approval into the ways of peace, and brings them out from darkness into the light by His decree, and guides them to a straight path.
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.”
قالوا يا موسىٰ إِنَّ فيها قَومًا جَبّارينَ وَإِنّا لَن نَدخُلَها حَتّىٰ يَخرُجوا مِنها فَإِن يَخرُجوا مِنها فَإِنّا داخِلونَ
They responded, “O Moses, inside it is a people of great strength. We won’t enter it until they come out of it. If they leave it, then we will enter.”
قالَ رَجُلانِ مِنَ الَّذينَ يَخافونَ أَنعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِمَا ادخُلوا عَلَيهِمُ البابَ فَإِذا دَخَلتُموهُ فَإِنَّكُم غالِبونَ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلوا إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ
Two men who were fearful, upon whom God had bestowed favor, said, “Enter upon them through the door; once you do, you will be victorious. And put your trust in God, if you are believers.”
