Al-Ma'idah 5:74

Al-Ma'idah - The Table Spread

المائدة
Verse 69

إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَالَّذينَ هادوا وَالصّابِئونَ وَالنَّصارىٰ مَن آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صالِحًا فَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ

Surely, those who believe, the Jews, the Sabeans, and the Christians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day and acts righteously—will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

Verse 70

لَقَد أَخَذنا ميثاقَ بَني إِسرائيلَ وَأَرسَلنا إِلَيهِم رُسُلًا ۖ كُلَّما جاءَهُم رَسولٌ بِما لا تَهوىٰ أَنفُسُهُم فَريقًا كَذَّبوا وَفَريقًا يَقتُلونَ

We made a covenant with the Children of Israel and sent them messengers. Whenever a messenger brought them something their souls didn’t fancy, they denied some of them and killed others.

Verse 71

وَحَسِبوا أَلّا تَكونَ فِتنَةٌ فَعَموا وَصَمّوا ثُمَّ تابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِم ثُمَّ عَموا وَصَمّوا كَثيرٌ مِنهُم ۚ وَاللَّهُ بَصيرٌ بِما يَعمَلونَ

They assumed there would be no consequences, so they turned blind and deaf. Yet God turned to them in forgiveness; then again, many of them turned blind and deaf. Surely, God sees all their actions.

Verse 72

لَقَد كَفَرَ الَّذينَ قالوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ المَسيحُ ابنُ مَريَمَ ۖ وَقالَ المَسيحُ يا بَني إِسرائيلَ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبّي وَرَبَّكُم ۖ إِنَّهُ مَن يُشرِك بِاللَّهِ فَقَد حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِ الجَنَّةَ وَمَأواهُ النّارُ ۖ وَما لِلظّالِمينَ مِن أَنصارٍ

Those who say, “The Messiah, son of Mary, is God,” are committing blasphemy. Christ said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord, and your Lord. Whoever associates partners with God, God will deny him Paradise, and his dwelling will be the Fire. The wrongdoers will have no saviors.”

Verse 73

لَقَد كَفَرَ الَّذينَ قالوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثالِثُ ثَلاثَةٍ ۘ وَما مِن إِلـٰهٍ إِلّا إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ ۚ وَإِن لَم يَنتَهوا عَمّا يَقولونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِنهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Those who say, “God is third of three,” are in clear disbelief. There is no god except the One God. If they don’t desist from making such statements, a severe punishment will befall those among them who disbelieve.

أَفَلا يَتوبونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَستَغفِرونَهُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Won’t they repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Verse 75

مَا المَسيحُ ابنُ مَريَمَ إِلّا رَسولٌ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُ صِدّيقَةٌ ۖ كانا يَأكُلانِ الطَّعامَ ۗ انظُر كَيفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الآياتِ ثُمَّ انظُر أَنّىٰ يُؤفَكونَ

The Messiah, son of Mary, was but a messenger, like the messengers before him, and his mother was a woman of virtue. They both used to eat food. We make the truth clear to them, yet look how they are being deluded.

Verse 76

قُل أَتَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَملِكُ لَكُم ضَرًّا وَلا نَفعًا ۚ وَاللَّهُ هُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ

Say, “Do you worship, besides God, something that lacks the power to harm or benefit you?” But God is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 77

قُل يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ لا تَغلوا في دينِكُم غَيرَ الحَقِّ وَلا تَتَّبِعوا أَهواءَ قَومٍ قَد ضَلّوا مِن قَبلُ وَأَضَلّوا كَثيرًا وَضَلّوا عَن سَواءِ السَّبيلِ

Say, “O People of the Scripture, don’t exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth, and don’t follow the whims of people who went astray before, led many astray, and strayed from the straight path.”

Verse 78

لُعِنَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن بَني إِسرائيلَ عَلىٰ لِسانِ داوودَ وَعيسَى ابنِ مَريَمَ ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِما عَصَوا وَكانوا يَعتَدونَ

Those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress.

Verse 79

كانوا لا يَتَناهَونَ عَن مُنكَرٍ فَعَلوهُ ۚ لَبِئسَ ما كانوا يَفعَلونَ

They didn’t discourage each other from committing wrongs. Their deeds are reprehensible.
