Read Surah Al-Maeda

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ اَنْ یَّبْسُطُوْۤا اِلَیْكُمْ اَیْدِیَهُمْ فَكَفَّ اَیْدِیَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ ۚ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ؕ وَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ۠۝۱۱

O believers, remember the favours God bestowed on you when a people raised their hands against you and He restrained their hands. So fear God; and the faithful should place their trust in God.

وَ لَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۚ وَ بَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَیْ عَشَرَ نَقِیْبًا ؕ وَ قَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ ؕ لَىِٕنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَیْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِیْ وَ عَزَّرْتُمُوْهُمْ وَ اَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَیِّاٰتِكُمْ وَ لَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِیْلِ۝۱۲

God covenanted the people of Israel and raised twelve leaders among them, and said: "I shall verily be with you. If you fulfil your devotional obligations, pay the zakat and believe in My apostles and support them, and give a goodly loan to God, I shall certainly absolve you of your evil, and admit you to gardens with streams of running water. But whosoever among you denies after this, will have wandered away from the right path."

فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّیْثَاقَهُمْ لَعَنّٰهُمْ وَ جَعَلْنَا قُلُوْبَهُمْ قٰسِیَةً ۚ یُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ ۙ وَ نَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ ۚ وَ لَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰی خَآىِٕنَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّنْهُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَ اصْفَحْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ۝۱۳

When they dishonoured their pledge We condemned them, and hardened their hearts. So they distort the words of the Scripture out of context, and have forgotten some of what they were warned against. You will always hear of treachery on their part except that of a few. But forbear and forgive them, for God loves those who do good.

وَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰۤی اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ ۪ فَاَغْرَیْنَا بَیْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَآءَ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ وَ سَوْفَ یُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَصْنَعُوْنَ۝۱۴

We had taken the pledge of those also who call themselves Christians. But they too forgot to take advantage of the warning they were given. So We have caused enmity and hatred among them to last till the Day of Resurrection, when God will inform them of what they were doing.

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا یُبَیِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِیْرًا مِّمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُوْنَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ یَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِیْرٍ ؕ۬ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ نُوْرٌ وَّ كِتٰبٌ مُّبِیْنٌۙ۝۱۵

O people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you, announcing many things of the Scriptures that you have suppressed, passing over some others. To you has come light and a clear Book from God

یَّهْدِیْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهٗ سُبُلَ السَّلٰمِ وَ یُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَی النُّوْرِ بِاِذْنِهٖ وَ یَهْدِیْهِمْ اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ۝۱۶

Through which God will lead those who follow His pleasure to the path of peace, and guide them out of darkness into light by His will, and to the path that is straight.

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْمَسِیْحُ ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ ؕ قُلْ فَمَنْ یَّمْلِكُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْـًٔا اِنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یُّهْلِكَ الْمَسِیْحَ ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ وَ اُمَّهٗ وَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا ؕ وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا ؕ یَخْلُقُ مَا یَشَآءُ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۝۱۷

Verily they are unbelievers who say: "The Messiah, son of Mary, is God." You ask them: "Who could prevail against God if He had chosen to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and the rest of mankind?" For God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lies between them. He creates what He please, for God has the power over all things.

وَ قَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ وَ النَّصٰرٰی نَحْنُ اَبْنٰٓؤُا اللّٰهِ وَ اَحِبَّآؤُهٗ ؕ قُلْ فَلِمَ یُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوْبِكُمْ ؕ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ؕ یَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یُعَذِّبُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا ؗ وَ اِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ۝۱۸

Say the Jews and the Christians: "We are sons of God and beloved of Him." Say: "Why does He punish you then for your sins? No: You are only mortals, of His creation." He can punish whom He please and pardon whom He will, for God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and everything will go back to Him.

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا یُبَیِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلٰی فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا مَا جَآءَنَا مِنْۢ بَشِیْرٍ وَّ لَا نَذِیْرٍ ؗ فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَشِیْرٌ وَّ نَذِیْرٌ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۠۝۱۹

O you people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you when apostles had ceased to come long ago, lest you said: "There did not come to us any messenger of good news or of warnings." So now there has reached you a bearer of good tidings and of warnings; for God has the power over all things.

وَ اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰی لِقَوْمِهٖ یٰقَوْمِ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ جَعَلَ فِیْكُمْ اَنْۢبِیَآءَ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ مُّلُوْكًا ۖۗ وَّ اٰتٰىكُمْ مَّا لَمْ یُؤْتِ اَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۝۲۰

Remember when Moses said to his people: "O my people, remember the favours that God bestowed on you when He appointed apostles from among you, and made you kings and gave you what had never been given to any one in the world.
