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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
كانوا لا يَتَناهَونَ عَن مُنكَرٍ فَعَلوهُ ۚ لَبِئسَ ما كانوا يَفعَلونَ
They didn’t discourage each other from committing wrongs. Their deeds are reprehensible.
تَرىٰ كَثيرًا مِنهُم يَتَوَلَّونَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۚ لَبِئسَ ما قَدَّمَت لَهُم أَنفُسُهُم أَن سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِم وَفِي العَذابِ هُم خالِدونَ
You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Their wickedness prompts this, which incurs God’s wrath upon them, resulting in their perpetual suffering.
وَلَو كانوا يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَما أُنزِلَ إِلَيهِ مَا اتَّخَذوهُم أَولِياءَ وَلـٰكِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنهُم فاسِقونَ
If they had believed in God, the Prophet, and what was revealed to him, they wouldn’t have taken them as allies. But many of them are defiant and disobedient.
