هُوَ الَّذي بَعَثَ فِي الأُمِّيّينَ رَسولًا مِنهُم يَتلو عَلَيهِم آياتِهِ وَيُزَكّيهِم وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الكِتابَ وَالحِكمَةَ وَإِن كانوا مِن قَبلُ لَفي ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ
It is He who raised, amidst the illiterate, a messenger from their own, conveying to them His verses, purifying them, and teaching them the Scripture and wisdom. Before this, they were in clear misguidance.
وَآخَرينَ مِنهُم لَمّا يَلحَقوا بِهِم ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ
And others of them who haven’t yet joined them. He is the Almighty, the Wise.
ذٰلِكَ فَضلُ اللَّهِ يُؤتيهِ مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الفَضلِ العَظيمِ
That is the grace of God, which He grants to whom He wills. God is the possessor of immense bounty.
مَثَلُ الَّذينَ حُمِّلُوا التَّوراةَ ثُمَّ لَم يَحمِلوها كَمَثَلِ الحِمارِ يَحمِلُ أَسفارًا ۚ بِئسَ مَثَلُ القَومِ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الظّالِمينَ
The example of those entrusted with the Torah, yet failed to uphold it, is like that of a donkey carrying heavy books. Pitiful is the example of the people who deny God’s revelations. God does not guide wrongdoing people.
قُل يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ هادوا إِن زَعَمتُم أَنَّكُم أَولِياءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دونِ النّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا المَوتَ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ
Say, “O you who are Jewish, if you claim to be the chosen allies of God, excluding all other people, then wish for death, if you are truthful.”
وَلا يَتَمَنَّونَهُ أَبَدًا بِما قَدَّمَت أَيديهِم ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ بِالظّالِمينَ
However, they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have done. God is fully aware of the wrongdoers.
