Read Surah Al-Imran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُوْنَ الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَ تَكْتُمُوْنَ الْحَقَّ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۠۝۷۱

O people of the Book, why do you mix the false with the true, and hide the truth knowingly?

وَ قَالَتْ طَّآىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ اٰمِنُوْا بِالَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَجْهَ النَّهَارِ وَ اكْفُرُوْۤا اٰخِرَهٗ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَۚۖ۝۷۲

A section of the people of the Book say: "Believe in the morning what has been revealed to the faithful, and deny in the evening; they might perhaps turn back;

وَ لَا تُؤْمِنُوْۤا اِلَّا لِمَنْ تَبِعَ دِیْنَكُمْ ؕ قُلْ اِنَّ الْهُدٰی هُدَی اللّٰهِ ۙ اَنْ یُّؤْتٰۤی اَحَدٌ مِّثْلَ مَاۤ اُوْتِیْتُمْ اَوْ یُحَآجُّوْكُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ ؕ قُلْ اِنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِیَدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ یُؤْتِیْهِ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌۚۙ۝۷۳

"And do not believe those who do not belong to your faith." Say: "True guidance is the guidance of God -- that any may be given the like of what has been given you." Will they argue with you before your Lord? Say: "God´s is the bounty. He gives whomsoever He please, for He is infinite and all-wise."

یَّخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیْمِ۝۷۴

He may choose whom He likes for His favours, for great is His bounty.

وَ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مَنْ اِنْ تَاْمَنْهُ بِقِنْطَارٍ یُّؤَدِّهٖۤ اِلَیْكَ ۚ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اِنْ تَاْمَنْهُ بِدِیْنَارٍ لَّا یُؤَدِّهٖۤ اِلَیْكَ اِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَیْهِ قَآىِٕمًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا لَیْسَ عَلَیْنَا فِی الْاُمِّیّٖنَ سَبِیْلٌ ۚ وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۷۵

There are some among the people of the Book who return a whole treasure entrusted to them; yet some there are who do not give back a dinar until you demand and insist, because they say: "It is not a sin for us to (usurp) the rights of the Arabs." Yet they lie against God, and they know it.

بَلٰی مَنْ اَوْفٰی بِعَهْدِهٖ وَ اتَّقٰی فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ۝۷۶

But certainly whoever keeps his promise and follows the right path (will be blessed), for God loves those who shun evil and follow the right course.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَشْتَرُوْنَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَیْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لَا یَنْظُرُ اِلَیْهِمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَ لَا یُزَكِّیْهِمْ ۪ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ۝۷۷

Those who trade on the promises of God, and who purchase a little gain from their oaths, will have no share in the life to come. God will not address or even regard them on the Day of Resurrection, nor perfect them, and their suffering will be painful.

وَ اِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَفَرِیْقًا یَّلْوٗنَ اَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالْكِتٰبِ لِتَحْسَبُوْهُ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ مَا هُوَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ ۚ وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ مَا هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۷۸

Among them is a section which distorts in reading the Scripture in a way that though it sounds like the Scripture, in fact it is not; yet they say it is from God, when they know it is not; and they lie about God, and knowingly.

مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ یُّؤْتِیَهُ اللّٰهُ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحُكْمَ وَ النُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ یَقُوْلَ لِلنَّاسِ كُوْنُوْا عِبَادًا لِّیْ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَ لٰكِنْ كُوْنُوْا رَبّٰنِیّٖنَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تُعَلِّمُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَدْرُسُوْنَۙ۝۷۹

It is not for a mortal to whom God reveals the Book and the judgement and the prophethood to say to the people: "Be my votaries instead of God´s," but (to say): "Become learned in divine law, by virtue of teaching and studying the Book."

وَ لَا یَاْمُرَكُمْ اَنْ تَتَّخِذُوا الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ وَ النَّبِیّٖنَ اَرْبَابًا ؕ اَیَاْمُرُكُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ اِذْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ۠۝۸۰

He will surely not bid you make the angels and the prophets your lords. Would he order you disbelief after you have submitted (and accepted the law of God)?
