Read Surah Al-Maeda

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الرَّسُوْلُ لَا یَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُسَارِعُوْنَ فِی الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ ۛۚ وَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا ۛۚ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِقَوْمٍ اٰخَرِیْنَ ۙ لَمْ یَاْتُوْكَ ؕ یُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَوَاضِعِهٖ ۚ یَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنْ اُوْتِیْتُمْ هٰذَا فَخُذُوْهُ وَ اِنْ لَّمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُوْا ؕ وَ مَنْ یُّرِدِ اللّٰهُ فِتْنَتَهٗ فَلَنْ تَمْلِكَ لَهٗ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْـًٔا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یُرِدِ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّطَهِّرَ قُلُوْبَهُمْ ؕ لَهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا خِزْیٌ ۖۚ وَّ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ۝۴۱

Be not grieved, O Apostle, by those who hasten to outrace others in denial, and say with their tongues: "We believe," but do not believe in their hearts. And those of the Jews who listen to tell lies, and spy on behalf of others who do not come to you, and who distort the words (of the Torah) out of context, and say: "If you are given (what we say is true) accept it; but if you are not given it, beware." You cannot intercede with God for him whom God would not show the way. These are the people whose hearts God does not wish to purify. For them is ignominy in this world and punishment untold in the next --

سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِلْكَذِبِ اَكّٰلُوْنَ لِلسُّحْتِ ؕ فَاِنْ جَآءُوْكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ اَوْ اَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ ۚ وَ اِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ یَّضُرُّوْكَ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَ اِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِیْنَ۝۴۲

Eavesdropping for telling lies, earning through unlawful means! So, if they come to you, judge between them or decline. And if you decline, they can do you no harm; but if you judge, you should do so with justice, for God loves those who are just.

وَ كَیْفَ یُحَكِّمُوْنَكَ وَ عِنْدَهُمُ التَّوْرٰىةُ فِیْهَا حُكْمُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ یَتَوَلَّوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ ؕ وَ مَاۤ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۠۝۴۳

But why should they make you a judge when the Torah is with them which contains the Law of God? Even then they turn away. They are those who will never believe.

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا التَّوْرٰىةَ فِیْهَا هُدًی وَّ نُوْرٌ ۚ یَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِیُّوْنَ الَّذِیْنَ اَسْلَمُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا وَ الرَّبّٰنِیُّوْنَ وَ الْاَحْبَارُ بِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُوْا مِنْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ وَ كَانُوْا عَلَیْهِ شُهَدَآءَ ۚ فَلَا تَخْشَوُا النَّاسَ وَ اخْشَوْنِ وَ لَا تَشْتَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِیْ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ؕ وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَحْكُمْ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ۝۴۴

We sent down the Torah which contains guidance and light, in accordance with which the prophets who were obedient (to God) gave instructions to the Jews, as did the rabbis and priests, for they were the custodians and witnesses of God´s writ. So, therefore, do not fear men, fear Me, and barter not My messages away for a paltry gain. Those who do not judge by God´s revelations are infidels indeed.

وَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ فِیْهَاۤ اَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ ۙ وَ الْعَیْنَ بِالْعَیْنِ وَ الْاَنْفَ بِالْاَنْفِ وَ الْاُذُنَ بِالْاُذُنِ وَ السِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّ ۙ وَ الْجُرُوْحَ قِصَاصٌ ؕ فَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهٖ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَّهٗ ؕ وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَحْكُمْ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۴۵

And there (in the Torah) We had ordained for them a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds retribution, though he who forgoes it out of charity, atones for his sins. And those who do not judge by God´s revelations are unjust.

وَ قَفَّیْنَا عَلٰۤی اٰثَارِهِمْ بِعِیْسَی ابْنِ مَرْیَمَ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرٰىةِ ۪ وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُ الْاِنْجِیْلَ فِیْهِ هُدًی وَّ نُوْرٌ ۙ وَّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرٰىةِ وَ هُدًی وَّ مَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَؕ۝۴۶

Later, in the train (of the prophets), We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah which had been (Sent down) before him, and gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light, which corroborated the earlier Torah, a guidance and warning for those who preserve themselves from evil and follow the straight path.

وَ لْیَحْكُمْ اَهْلُ الْاِنْجِیْلِ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فِیْهِ ؕ وَ مَنْ لَّمْ یَحْكُمْ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۴۷

Let the people of the Gospel judge by what has been revealed in it by God. And those who do not judge in accordance with what God has revealed are transgressors.

وَ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ مُهَیْمِنًا عَلَیْهِ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ ؕ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَّ مِنْهَاجًا ؕ وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّ لٰكِنْ لِّیَبْلُوَكُمْ فِیْ مَاۤ اٰتٰىكُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَیْرٰتِ ؕ اِلَی اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِیْعًا فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ فِیْهِ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَۙ۝۴۸

And to you We have revealed the Book containing the truth, confirming the earlier revelations, and preserving them (from change and corruption). So judge between them by what has been revealed by God, and do not follow their whims, side-stepping the truth that has reached you. To each of you We have given a law and a way and a pattern of life. If God had pleased He could surely have made you one people (professing one faith). But He wished to try and test you by that which He gave you. So try to excel in good deeds. To Him will you all return in the end, when He will tell you of what you were at variance.

وَ اَنِ احْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَ احْذَرْهُمْ اَنْ یَّفْتِنُوْكَ عَنْۢ بَعْضِ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ اِلَیْكَ ؕ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّصِیْبَهُمْ بِبَعْضِ ذُنُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَ اِنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ لَفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۴۹

Judge between them in the light of what has been revealed by God, and do not follow their whims, and beware of them lest they lead you away from the guidance sent down to you by God. If they turn away, then know that God is sure to punish them for some of their sins; and many of them are transgressors.

اَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِیَّةِ یَبْغُوْنَ ؕ وَ مَنْ اَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ حُكْمًا لِّقَوْمٍ یُّوْقِنُوْنَ۠۝۵۰

Do they seek a judgement of the days of pagan ignorance? But who could be a better judge than God for those who are firm in their faith?
