وَ اِذَا جَآءُوْكُمْ قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا وَ قَدْ دَّخَلُوْا بِالْكُفْرِ وَ هُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوْا بِهٖ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْتُمُوْنَ۝۶۱

When they come to you they say: "We believe;" but unbelieving they came and unbelieving go; and God is aware of what they conceal in their hearts.

وَ تَرٰی كَثِیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ یُسَارِعُوْنَ فِی الْاِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ وَ اَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ ؕ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۶۲

You will see among them many who rush into sin and wickedness, and devour unlawful gain. How evil are the things they do!

لَوْ لَا یَنْهٰىهُمُ الرَّبّٰنِیُّوْنَ وَ الْاَحْبَارُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِمُ الْاِثْمَ وَ اَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ ؕ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوْا یَصْنَعُوْنَ۝۶۳

Why do not their rabbis and priests prohibit them from talking of sinful things and from devouring unlawful gain? Evil are the acts they commit!

وَ قَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ یَدُ اللّٰهِ مَغْلُوْلَةٌ ؕ غُلَّتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ لُعِنُوْا بِمَا قَالُوْا ۘ بَلْ یَدٰهُ مَبْسُوْطَتٰنِ ۙ یُنْفِقُ كَیْفَ یَشَآءُ ؕ وَ لَیَزِیْدَنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ مَّاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ طُغْیَانًا وَّ كُفْرًا ؕ وَ اَلْقَیْنَا بَیْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَآءَ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ كُلَّمَاۤ اَوْقَدُوْا نَارًا لِّلْحَرْبِ اَطْفَاَهَا اللّٰهُ ۙ وَ یَسْعَوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَسَادًا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ۝۶۴

The Jews say: "Bound are the hands of God." Tied be their own hands, and damned may they be for saying what they say! In fact, both His hands are open wide: He spends of His bounty in any way He please. But what your Lord has revealed to you will only increase their rebellion and unbelief. So We have caused enmity and hatred among them (which will last) till the Day of Resurrection. As often as they ignite the fires of war they are extinguished by God. Yet they rush around to spread corruption in the land; but God does not love those who are corrupt.

وَ لَوْ اَنَّ اَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ اٰمَنُوْا وَ اتَّقَوْا لَكَفَّرْنَا عَنْهُمْ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ وَ لَاَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِیْمِ۝۶۵

If the people of the Book had believed and feared, We would surely have absolved them of their sins, and admitted them to gardens of delight.

وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اَقَامُوا التَّوْرٰىةَ وَ الْاِنْجِیْلَ وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ لَاَكَلُوْا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَ مِنْ تَحْتِ اَرْجُلِهِمْ ؕ مِنْهُمْ اُمَّةٌ مُّقْتَصِدَةٌ ؕ وَ كَثِیْرٌ مِّنْهُمْ سَآءَ مَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ۠۝۶۶

And if they had followed the teachings of the Torah and the Gospel, and what has been sent down to them by their Lord, they would surely have enjoyed (blessings) from the heavens above and the earth below their feet.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الرَّسُوْلُ بَلِّغْ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ ؕ وَ اِنْ لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهٗ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۶۷

Some among them are moderate, but evil is what most of them do! O Prophet, announce what has reached you from your Lord, for if you do not, you will not have delivered His message. God will preserve you from (the mischief of) men; for God does not guide those who do not believe.

قُلْ یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لَسْتُمْ عَلٰی شَیْءٍ حَتّٰی تُقِیْمُوا التَّوْرٰىةَ وَ الْاِنْجِیْلَ وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ ؕ وَ لَیَزِیْدَنَّ كَثِیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ مَّاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ طُغْیَانًا وَّ كُفْرًا ۚ فَلَا تَاْسَ عَلَی الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۶۸

Say to them: "O people of the Book, you have no ground (for argument) until you follow the Torah and the Gospel and what has been revealed to you by your Lord." But what has been revealed to you by your Lord will surely increase rebellion and unbelief in many; so do not grieve for those who do not believe.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا وَ الصّٰبِـُٔوْنَ وَ النَّصٰرٰی مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ لَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ۝۶۹

All those who believe, and the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, in fact any one who believes in God and the Last Day, and performs good deeds, will have nothing to fear or regret.

لَقَدْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ وَ اَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِمْ رُسُلًا ؕ كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰۤی اَنْفُسُهُمْ ۙ فَرِیْقًا كَذَّبُوْا وَ فَرِیْقًا یَّقْتُلُوْنَۗ۝۷۰

We had taken a solemn pledge from the children of Israel, and sent messengers to them; but whenever an apostle came to them bringing what did not suit their mood, they called one imposter, another they slew,
